The rise of the poor

Chapter 2289...wait, this plot looks so familiar!

Luo Longwen was falsely accused and reprimanded by the Japanese pirates on duty. He was so angry that he couldn't utter a word for a long time. After a while, his lips trembled as he argued unwillingly, "General, you were the one who just took my letter, yet you accuse me of robbery. What kind of logic is this? Is there no justice? Is there no law?!"

Luo Longwen had never been treated like this before. At this moment, Luo Longwen really wanted to grab him by the collar and spray him with dog shit, but he didn't dare.

Because the Japanese pirates on duty had their swords in their hands.

"Heavenly justice?! Ha! Between you and me, I am heavenly justice! The law?! Have you lost your mind? We are Japanese pirates, anti-government Japanese pirates, Japanese pirates who trample on the law, Japanese pirates who use the law to clean their own messes. You're asking Japanese pirates for the law? You must be out of your mind!"

The Japanese pirates on duty mocked Luo Longwen, then drew their swords, pointed them at Luo Longwen, and threatened him menacingly, "And which eye of yours saw me take your letter?! Come on, tell me, I'll dig it out and see."

"I"

Faced with the gleaming Japanese sword, Luo Longwen was completely speechless, unable to utter a single word.

"See, you can't answer either, which means you didn't see me take your letter."

The Japanese pirates looked at Luo Longwen with smug confidence and chuckled.

I. Nima

Luo Longwen cursed inwardly, but dared not utter a word, only looking resentfully at the Japanese pirates on duty.

The Japanese pirate on duty looked at Luo Longwen with a half-smile, "Did you lose your letter?! Do you want me to help you find it?! Who told me to be so kind?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Luo Longwen said hurriedly.

"I have no problem helping you find the letter, but you can't expect me to help you for nothing. There's no such thing as a free lunch."

The Japanese pirate on duty pointed at Luo Longwen and made a gesture that indicated he wanted money, his meaning quite blunt.

If you want a letter, bring me the money.

Seeing this, Luo Longwen was on the verge of tears. You really are Japanese pirates, so shameless! This is blatant robbery!

You took my letter, yet you claim it's lost and demand money from me before you'll help me find it!

That's absolutely shameless!

However, Luo Longwen had no choice but to take out ten taels of silver from his pocket and reluctantly hand it to the Japanese pirates on duty.

"Ten taels of silver?! No, brother, are you trying to fob me off?! You say your letter is Xu Hai's own handwriting, and Xu Hai's handwriting is only worth ten taels of silver?! Come on, I'll give you ten taels of silver, you give me a letter from Xu Hai. If you can't produce that, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The Japanese pirate on duty gave a displeased sneer, his right hand tightly gripping the silver, as if to hand it to Luo Longwen.

Luo Longwen waved his hands repeatedly. Where else could he get Xu Hai's handwritten letter? If he still had Xu Hai's handwritten letter, he wouldn't put up with this humiliation!

"See, you can't produce it either. Think carefully about how much silver Xu Hai's handwritten letter is worth, then I can help you find it."

The Japanese pirates on duty chuckled as they spoke.

Looking at the shameless faces of the Japanese pirates on duty, Luo Longwen had no choice but to take out another ten taels of silver from his pocket. He looked up and saw that the shameless pirate shook his head. Helpless, he reached into his pocket again and took out another ten taels of silver. The shameless pirate shook his head again. Luo Longwen gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and reached into his pocket again. This time he took out twenty taels of silver.

There were a full fifty taels of silver.

Only then did the Japanese pirates on duty reluctantly sigh, grab the fifty taels of silver from Luo Longwen's hand, stuff it into their pockets, and say with a look of great compassion, "Seeing how anxious you are, I'll reluctantly lower myself to help you this time. After all, I'm always happy to help others."

You're happy to help others?! That's shameless! How could you say that?! Luo Longwen was so angry he was about to explode.

Of course, Luo Longwen knew perfectly well that although he and everyone else knew that this shameless Japanese pirate had taken Xu Hai's handwritten letter from him, and although this shameless Japanese pirate had used the excuse of searching for the letter in his arms to forcibly take fifty taels of silver from him, and although he was so angry he was about to explode, and although he wanted to curse his ancestors for eighteen generations, he knew that he could not only not show his anger, but also be grateful, otherwise his fifty taels of silver would be wasted!

So, Luo Longwen forced a smile, suppressed his anger, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you, General. I'll have to trouble you then."

"Of course, of course, who told us to be so helpful?" The Japanese pirate on duty waved his hand shamelessly.

Then, the Japanese pirate on duty reached into his robes and pulled out Xu Hai's handwritten letter, grinning and boasting, "Look what I found! Isn't this the so-called handwritten letter from Xu Hai that you lost?!"

You didn't even try to hide it, you just pulled it out of your pocket, how shameless!

Here you go!

Luo Longwen forced an awkward smile and eagerly snatched Xu Hai's handwritten letter from the Japanese pirate on duty. He clasped his hands in thanks, "General, you are incredibly fast. This is the handwritten letter from Xu Hai that I lost. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

"I know, just give me ten taels of silver, no need to thank me specially." The Japanese pirate on duty stretched out his hand again.

What the hell!

You're so shameless! You actually have the nerve to ask for ten taels of silver as a thank you?! I really underestimated how shameless you can be!

Luo Longwen's face fell immediately. The Japanese pirate on duty opposite him reached out and pressed his sword, using the gesture to remind Luo Longwen.

Having no other choice, Luo Longwen reached into his pocket and pulled out another ten taels of silver. The Japanese pirate on duty across from him swiftly snatched the silver away, saying, "Look at you, you're too enthusiastic. Don't do it again, don't do it again."

Shameless! Utterly shameless!

Luo Longwen gritted his teeth in anger and swallowed the blood.

He got the letter, but the matter wasn't settled yet. He still couldn't see Wang Zhi and needed to pass the message on.

"Um, General, could you please inform them?" Luo Longwen had no choice but to clasp his hands in a fist and smile apologetically once again.

"Who are you? I'll pass this on to you." The Japanese pirate on duty gave a forced smile.

"I was recommended by General Xu. I have important matters to discuss with Prince Hui."

"You say you were recommended by General Xu, so you are? How can I confirm that you were recommended by Xu Hai?"

The Japanese pirates at the gate had a half-smile on their faces.

"I have a personal letter from General Xu. Please do me a favor."

As Luo Longwen spoke, he picked up Xu Hai's handwritten letter and was about to hand it to the Japanese pirates on duty when he stopped halfway through. Wait a minute, this plot seems so familiar. (End of Chapter)
