Wei Xing panicked and quickly stood up and stepped back to distance himself from Gu Chan.

Gu Chan just wanted to hit him, but his dodging made her laugh, "Why are you hiding?"

"Did you want to beat me just now?" Wei Xing said seriously.

"Okay, I promise not to beat you. Sit down first, and I want to discuss something with you seriously." Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

Wei Xing then felt at ease and continued to sit down.

Gu Chan used a trick, "Let me ask you, do you want to return to Kyoto one day and avenge your father?"

"Of course, I dream about it!" Wei Xing said firmly.

"That's right. I took out quite a bit of silver from the Xu family's treasury last night, and you should get a share of it. But you now have 50,000 taels of silver in your hand, so you won't be short of money in the short term, right?" Gu Chan said with a blink.

Wei Xing waved his hands unhappily and said, "You just don't want to give it to me!"

"No, what I mean is that we should just take out 100,000 taels of silver and go to the refugee area tonight to quietly distribute them to the refugees. Then we can announce to the public that it was the Batman who robs the rich and helps the poor who gave them the silver. Then we can let everyone regard Batman as a hero and win the hearts of the people." Gu Chan said patiently.

Wei Xing's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.

You know, he is now known as Batman!

Gu Chan's move was undoubtedly to enhance his reputation. If this thing really happened tonight, Batman would definitely have a firm foothold in Zhongyuan City in the future.

Not to mention what people in the other three districts of Zhongyuan City think of Batman, just the poor people in the refugee zone will definitely support him. Isn't this a good thing for him?

After carefully calculating in his mind, he immediately felt that Gu Chan's proposal was much better than directly dividing the money with him, so he said happily, "Okay, this thing can be done, let's do it."

"That's right! This is the pattern." Gu Chan said with satisfaction.

"But I don't understand what this has to do with whether I can fight my way back to Kyoto?" Wei Xing asked again.

Gu Chan gave him a detailed analysis, "Think about it! If you can gain the support of the people in Zhongyuan City, then if something happens in Zhongyuan City, you can come out in the name of Batman to save everyone. Then you will have made a great contribution. In this way, the court will not dare to punish you easily, and may even reward you for your merits!"

"That makes sense, that makes sense. You have a good brain! Why didn't I think of going up a level? It just so happens that the border is occupied by the enemy country now. If I can make a contribution, the emperor will definitely pardon my crime and maybe even use me. Then I can go back to Kyoto to deal with the corrupt official who framed my father." Wei Xing was really fooled and believed it.

Gu Chan was stunned, thinking that this guy was too naive! He believed it so easily?

What she said just now was just made up. In fact, she just wanted to distribute the stolen money and confuse people by saying that Batman robs the rich and helps the poor.

Even if Xu Renjie really exposed her by then, the head of the Xu family would probably be wavering and would not believe his son.

After all, Gu Chan is just a child. No one would believe that a child could sneak into Xu Mansion at night to steal the treasure house and make such a big noise. On the contrary, if it was done by Batman, then the credibility would definitely be much higher.

This is what Gu Chan really has in mind.

Wei Xing didn't think too much about it, and asked excitedly, "So when do we set off tonight?"

"Let's go now! You go wait for me at the back door. I'll take the banknotes, change my clothes and leave. You'd better change too, so that no one will recognize you." Gu Chan said.

Wei Xing directly took out a black robe and a mask from his arms and said proudly, "Don't worry, I'm always ready."

"Okay, you're good at this. Then go to the back door first." Gu Chan said with satisfaction.

Wei Xing immediately got up and left, waiting for her at the back door.

Gu Chan quickly went upstairs and counted 50,000 taels of silver bills in the treasury, mixed them with the bag of silver bills that Wei Xing had just given her, making a total of 100,000 taels of silver bills. Then she went to her room to change into a black cloak, and then carried the two bags of silver bills to the back door to meet Wei Xing.

After the two met up, they immediately began to secretly wander around the refugee area in a carriage.

Whenever they met people, the two of them would crumple up a hundred-liang silver note and throw it directly at him.

At first, the person who was hit was cursing, but when he took the banknote and spread it out, he found it was a banknote of one hundred taels. He was so happy that his hands were shaking.

After midnight, Gu Chan and her companion took a carriage around wherever there were people in the refugee area, and each person received a silver note worth one hundred taels.

By this time, the 100,000 taels of silver notes the two men brought with them had already been used up.

Gu Chan sat in the carriage and said to Wei Xing who was sitting next to her, "Let's go! Let's go back."

"I suddenly feel so happy! It turns out that doing good deeds is so joyful." Wei Xing couldn't help but sigh.

"So you know why I used the excuse of robbing the rich to help the poor when I made up the name of Batman at the border?" Gu Chan said with a smile.

Wei Xing nodded quietly.

He didn’t understand what Gu Chan meant before, but now he can understand it very well.

Gu Chan didn't want to say any more and immediately drove the carriage back towards the clinic.

After an incense stick of time, the two men arrived outside the clinic in a carriage.

But as soon as they got off the carriage, they were dumbfounded!

At this moment, there was thick white fog floating in the clinic. On the contrary, outside the clinic, there was no fog at all except for a little wind.

Gu Chan couldn't help but glare at Wei Xing and asked, "Did you make the smoke?"

"What does it have to do with me? Haven't I been with you all the time? Besides, we are all tied to the same boat now, why would I use smoke to mess up your clinic?" Wei Xing said innocently.

"Then what is going on?" Gu Chan asked.

Wei Xing's face darkened and he said, "Could it be that Xu Renjie, that bastard, betrayed you, so the head of the Xu family came to cause trouble?"

"That shouldn't be the case! In the afternoon, Ma Zheng said that Xu Renjie kept his mouth shut and didn't dare to tell his mother the truth about last night!" Gu Chan said, spreading her hands.

"Then let's go in and take a look first." Wei Xing said.

Gu Chan nodded without comment.

Then the two of them immediately covered their mouths and noses with their hands and walked into the door carefully.

"Buzz!"

As the two stepped into the yard, a sharp buzzing sound suddenly rang in their ears.

The next second, the scene before their eyes began to change. The four-story building, which had been cleaned and renovated, suddenly became dilapidated again. Not only was it covered with cobwebs everywhere, but it also emitted a foul odor of decay.

At the same time, there were corpses lying in the lobby on the ground floor.

Gu Chan shook her head, trying to control herself to be more awake. She raised her eyes and looked forward carefully. Her eyes widened instantly and tears welled up in her eyes.

It was because the corpses in front of her were none other than Zhang Wanshan, Ma Zheng and all the other people in the clinic!
