After Wei Wu finished speaking, Shen Lin and Zhang Hao turned around and left.

However, Shen Lin was careful and did not return to the first deck directly. Instead, he waited at the stairs on the second deck.

After the two left, Wei Wu went straight to sit opposite Han Yao.

At this time, Han Yaocai laughed at himself and slowly said:

"It seems that Master Zheng has really sold me out completely! As expected, these scholars are all cowardly losers."

Hearing this, Wei Wu shrugged his shoulders and responded casually.

"There are some upright scholars, but Master Zheng is clearly not one of them."

After saying this, Wei Wu changed the subject and continued:

"So, should I call you Lu Yao or Han Yao?"

"It doesn't matter. The name is just a nickname. It's up to Lord Changle to decide."

"Then let's go with Han Yao! It just so happens that I don't have a good impression of the Lu family."

After Wei Wu finished speaking, Han Yao simply nodded, then picked up the teacup and said:

"please!"

However, just as Han Yao was about to bring the tea to his mouth, he found that Wei Wu had not even touched the cup.

"Is Lord Changle worried that I poisoned the tea?"

"Well, that's right!"

Originally, Han Yao thought that Wei Wu would deny it and then find an excuse to shirk responsibility.

However, he didn't expect Wei Wu's answer to be so straightforward, which caught him off guard.

In fact, Wei Wu was really worried. Who knew what other strange medicines the White Lotus Sect had?

Moreover, both sides are enemies, so there is no need to put oneself in danger for the sake of so-called dignity and face.

On the other side, after Han Yao came to his senses, he simply put down the teacup and got straight to business.

"This ferry carries a total of 1.3 million taels of silver, as well as the deeds to ten shops in Yangzhou City and a large number of land deeds."

"With these treasures and some information I know, can Lord Changle show mercy and let me go?"

After Han Yao finished speaking, Wei Wu raised his eyebrows and then asked a question in return.

"What do you say?"

Before Han Yao could answer, Wei Wu spoke again:

"Even if I kill you, these things will still be mine. If you were me, would you let the enemy live?"

"If I were Earl Changle, I would definitely do it! Because the value of that information far exceeds the value of these treasures."

After Han Yao finished speaking, Wei Wu was about to speak, but Han Yao took the lead.

"Since Master Zheng is in the hands of Lord Changle, I'm sure you've heard him talk about how I joined the White Lotus Sect!"

"Then has Lord Changle ever considered that I have a million taels of silver, a fortune that would allow me to live a carefree life."

"Why would I give up a life of wealth and glory and choose to join the White Lotus Sect, a rebel group hated by everyone?"

To be honest, Wei Wu had no interest in the so-called valuable information that Han Yao mentioned.

But Han Yao's following words aroused his interest.

However, Wei Wu did not ask, because Han Yao would tell it himself anyway.

This is indeed the case.

Seeing that Wei Wu remained silent but did not take action directly, Han Yao felt relieved and continued:

"Life is only a few decades long. If I hadn't known that news, I would have naturally chosen to live a stable life as a wealthy man."

"But now that I know, it's God's will. Even if it's extremely difficult and dangerous, I still want to give it a try!"

"If it succeeds..."

Speaking of this, Han Yao, who had been calm all along, had a hint of fanaticism on his face.

It feels a bit like those brainwashed lower-class believers in the White Lotus Sect.

However, just as he was about to continue, Wei Wu knocked on the table impatiently.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"You've been talking too much nonsense. You only have one more chance to say one sentence. If you don't get to the point, prepare to go into the coffin!"

Coming back to his senses, Han Yao let out a long breath and then slowly spoke after hearing Wei Wu's words:

"I've seen the Imperial Seal and I know where it is!!"
