Bab 211: Chapter 210: Mandated by Heaven, Blessed with Longevity and Prosperity

This new Purple Guard isn't very chatty, constantly maintaining a loyal, patriotic tone. Master Zhu guessed that the bribe amount was not sufficient.

This, he was experienced with. A bit more money would settle things.

With a slight smile, Master Zhu gave Lu Bei a knowing look. He withdrew a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and leisurely handed it over to Lu Bei: "The Eastern King's Mansion is known far and wide for its diligent governance and love for the people. Everyone praises it. I wonder what slanderous lies Officer Lu has heard? But the innocent have nothing to fear. With your discernment, I'm sure you'll see that the Eastern King's Mansion is blameless."

"What are you implying, a bribe for this Purple Guard?"

Lu Bei raised an eyebrow in disdain. He took the silver notes and started counting in front of them.

Seeing this, Master Zhu became inwardly relieved. Ma Feiwei also sighed in relief. The two exchanged a glance, both with implicit smiles.
