Hearing this, Ren Xiaoyao immediately took out the palm-sized pocket box that he had obtained on the top of the tower from his sleeve pouch.

The box is made of rosewood. Although it is small, on the lid you can see several lifelike lotus relief patterns carved with very fine craftsmanship. The box buckle seems to be made of rhinoceros horn, and it is shiny in bright black. The whole box looks meticulously crafted.

Such a box gives people the feeling that there seems to be something important inside.

Just as Ren Xiaoyao was about to open the box, the two women in white clothes beside him opened their mouths wide when they saw the box Ren Xiaoyao took out. They looked at each other and one of them said:

"Sir, how come this box is in your hands?"

When Ren Xiaoyao and Yingzi heard this, they immediately felt something was wrong, and Yingzi immediately gave Ren Xiaoyao a look.

Ren Xiaoyao understood what he meant and asked:

"Have you seen this box?"

A woman in white said quickly:

"Hero, this box, when we were still maids in the Cao Gang, we came to the island with the Cao Gang leader to negotiate with the Medicine Saint of the East China Sea. We came several times, and the leader was rejected by the Medicine Saint several times. The leader was very angry and ordered his men to set fire to the island. I saw the Medicine Saint of the East China Sea took out a box exactly the same as the one in your hand, opened it and put it into the sea. After a while, a giant turtle came, about three stories high and one story wide. The turtle sprayed water on the burning island like rain, and soon the fire on the island was extinguished. However, the leader was scared and hurriedly took us away.

Thinking back to what Moer had said before, about the words that the Medicine Sage of the East China Sea left for him in his dream, asking him to take the box to the seaside to summon the Immortal Turtle, everything began to connect naturally.

Moer hugged Ren Xiaoyao's thigh and shook it, with an expression that said "Praise me now":

"Brother, look, Moer didn't lie, the fairy brother said the same thing!"

Ren Xiaoyao quickly touched Moer's head and nodded with a smile:

"Be good, Moer. I always believe in you."

Then, the woman in white who had just spoken said with difficulty: "Hero, do you know the Medicine Saint of the East China Sea? Can you..."

After saying this, she looked at the other woman in white, who immediately understood what she meant and said,

"Master, could you please... ask the Medicine Saint of the East Sea to heal our legs?"

After saying this, they both knelt down and began to kowtow to Ren Xiaoyao and Yingzi, saying as they kowtowed:

"Master, we two know that we have helped that beast do many evil things! We are willing to make amends and help you tell us where those women were buried on the island. We also have evidence of the Cao Gang and this old beast colluding with each other to occupy the sea area in recent years. Master, please consider that we have to do this in order to survive and let the Medicine Saint of the East Sea help us treat it!"

The woman in white who was speaking kowtowed, making a loud noise. The skin on her forehead was broken and began to seep out bright red blood.

The other woman also kowtowed.

The two women seemed to have a really strong desire to survive.

Shadow whispered to Ren Xiaoyao's ear: "Let them produce evidence, and I will agree."

Ren Xiaoyao nodded and said to the two women:

"You two have also made contributions in helping to eliminate this scum. If you stop aiding and abetting this scum and hand me the evidence of their collusion with the Cao Gang, I may consider agreeing to ask the East Sea Medicine Saint for medicine to treat you."

The two women were overjoyed when they heard Ren Xiaoyao's words, and then they kowtowed several times:

"Sir, we are keeping the correspondence and banknotes with the Cao Gang. We will go get them now. Please wait a moment. We will be back soon!"

After saying that, the two women stood up, saluted Ren Xiaoyao, left the back mountain, and limped towards the tower.

Ren Xiaoyao looked at the shadow and asked:

"Xi, are we going to hand this evidence over to the authorities?"

Shadow showed her signature queen smile:

"Of course not, let's go ask the Cao Gang for money!"

Of course, Yingzi didn't know how rich Ren Xiaoyao was at this time. Last time in Donghai City, Ren Xiaoyao bought her that light blue dress in the blink of an eye. She thought to herself that this silly brother spent all his money to show his love for her, and she was thinking about how to get the money back.

Otherwise, after they get married, Ren Xiaoyao's family will be left penniless, and she and him will starve?

This stupid brother still needs my help!

Look, there’s a big fish right at your doorstep, right?

Ren Xiaoyao was confused. As a wealthy man, he certainly didn't understand why his future wife would go to the Cao Gang to get money. If she needed money, couldn't she just go to him? Did she know someone in the Cao Gang? Or did she have relatives in the Cao Gang who helped her manage the money?

Ren Xiaoyao really couldn't figure it out.

Qi Qingxi in the system space didn't even have the heart to scold her little brother. This rebellious son didn't even know that she had found a rich second-generation man who was so rich that even the emperor was afraid of him!

Oh, didn’t I know that at that time?

Since there's no way to stop what's already happened, just let this rebellious son suffer.

Ren Xiaoyao was just about to say that if she needed money, she could go to her own chain of banks first, and then use the token he gave her on the boat in Buhuo Village to go to any Huangji Silver Shop in the country to withdraw money. She could withdraw as much as she wanted, as long as she could take it all.

Before he could open his mouth, Shadow saw that he looked confused and thought that he didn't understand how to operate it, so he said:

"Fool, the Cao Gang has done so many evil things with that old man in order to seize the sea rights in recent years. The imperial court does not allow the exclusive use of sea rights. Let's go directly to the Cao Gang with evidence, get a hush money first, and then go to the imperial court to catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"The Cao Gang has made a lot of money in the past few years, and its influence has spread all over the country. If the imperial court intervenes, the impact on it will be fatal."

"This hush money amount is definitely enough for us after we get married. I will give you daily pocket money."

Ren Xiaoyao finally understood now that his future wife had been so thoughtful. Ren Xiaoyao even forgot what he wanted to say and was completely immersed in Shadow's script. While putting himself in the role, he felt that his wife was truly the only treasure in the world. She was beautiful, domineering, unpretentious, and knew how to live. He also had to make plans for the expenses of the marriage and even considered the budget for his pocket money after marriage.

Ren Xiaoyao, who was led astray by the shadow, was truly moved.

Moer, who was hugging Ren Xiaoyao's thigh, also listened with great interest. He clapped his hands as if he understood what she said: "Sister is great. Can Moer have some pocket money in the future?"

Shadow touched Mer's head:

"Of course Moer has some too. He gets pocket money every month to buy snacks!"

Moer happily let go of the hand that was holding Ren Xiaoyao's thigh, stood up, turned around several times on the spot, jumping and dancing.

It is another happy scene of the family.

After a while, the two women came back and handed a stack of letters and an account book to Ren Xiaoyao.

After Ren Xiaoyao and Yingzi read these account books and letters, Yingzi frowned:

"These bastards made so much money!"

After seeing the numbers in the account book, Ren Xiaoyao felt that the Cao Gang, as a water transport organization, had indeed increased its income by hundreds of times in just a few years, and it was still quite business-minded.

But it is indeed hateful to think that they are paying for the old man's life with the young woman's life.

Although according to the account books, the total amount they earned in the past three years is less than the annual total income of his Jianlu branches across the country. This is only the income of Jianlu, not including his real estate, fields, silver shops, and other large assets.

But since my future wife said that these bastards made so much money, I should go find them and take it out!

How could my wife be wrong!

Thinking of this, Ren Xiaoyao nodded quickly: "It's indeed too much!"

The two women knelt down again and said, "Master, we have brought all the evidence to you. Please ask the Medicine Saint of the East China Sea to get the elixir for us!"

Ren Xiaoyao said, "You two should get up. We will go to him soon. Since I promised you, I will bring you medicine. Since you two cannot move around easily, you can stay on the island and bury those women properly. You can wait for us to come back."

After hearing this, the two women were overjoyed. They kowtowed to Ren Xiaoyao and Yingzi a few more times, then walked towards the tower again.

It seems that they are going to dig up the bodies of women who were mass buried.

Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but sigh.

Sometimes people have no choice but to do good or evil. Is it too late to mend the situation after the damage has been done?

Seeing that the situation had come to an end, Shadow said, "Let's go to the seaside to summon the Immortal Turtle and go to the Immortal Mountain!"

I only heard a voice coming from the bamboo tube in my waist: "Woman, have you forgotten something?!"
