How did a street urchin from the film crew end up in a Northern Song Dynasty drama called "The

Just then, the commander of the Imperial Guards quietly leaned close to Marshal Jin's ear and whispered, "My lord, the forces we brought this time are limited. It would be unwise to fight them head-on. If you want revenge, there will be many more opportunities in the future. There is no need to rush."

After hearing the words of the Imperial Guard Commander, Commander Jin remained seated as if he hadn't heard a thing, not even lifting an eyelid. However, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashed deep within his slightly narrowed eyes. Clearly, Commander Jin had grasped the threat in the other's words, but he had his own calculations, certain that Chief Zhou wouldn't dare to truly fight him to the death.

Jin Shuai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said unhurriedly, "Chief Zhou, we are both sensible people, so why beat around the bush? Thirty thousand strings of cash, plus the right to dispose of these two people, if you agree, we will go our separate ways from now on; if you don't agree, then we'll meet again someday."

Jin Shuai spoke casually, but the unwavering force in his tone was undeniable. Meanwhile, Chief Zhou's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. He cursed the two men before him inwardly for causing him such a heavy loss. But circumstances forced him to remain patient and endure for the time being.

Chief Zhou took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then slowly said, "Your Excellency, you are unaware of the fact that our gang is not as strong as the other two gangs. This 30,000 guan is an astronomical figure for our gang! I hope Your Excellency can be lenient, as our gang really cannot afford that much money."

Hearing Chief Zhou's words, Jin Shuai raised an eyebrow and asked with a half-smile, "Oh? Since Chief Zhou is in trouble, we still have to give him face. So how much do you think is appropriate?"

Chief Zhou gritted his teeth and steeled himself to announce a figure: "Our gang can only raise a maximum of ten thousand strings of cash."

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuai's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he quickly regained his composure. After a moment's thought, he said calmly, "Fifteen thousand strings of cash. If that's acceptable, we'll call it a day; if not, we'll meet again someday." With that, Jin Shuai made a move to get up and leave.

“Very well, since Your Excellency is willing to give me this favor, I am naturally a person who knows my place and understands reason. Your Excellency, you can rest assured to deal with these two ignorant and blind fellows. I will immediately instruct my men to prepare the money.” As soon as Chief Zhou finished speaking, he gave a wink to the deputy chief beside him, signaling him to quickly get to work on the matter.

At this moment, Jin Shuai stared coldly at Lai Zi and Liu Da in front of him, a cold glint in his eyes. He said coldly, "Men, cripple these two. Then, process them according to our usual method of making crispy pastries, and send them to Xia Fanlou for our customers who like them to try something new and change their taste. Today, I, this lord, will not only spare your two dog lives, but also let you enjoy special treatment. How about that? I'm merciful enough for you! Chief Zhou, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to handle this matter personally. Remember, they absolutely cannot die within a year."
