Chapter 41 - 41 40 Discussing Benefits
?Chapter 41: Chapter 40: Discussing Benefits Chapter 41: Chapter 40: Discussing Benefits That evening, Chen Afu heard from Junior Officer Gao, who had just arrived for dinner, that the formidable gold thief had slipped away to the Capital City again. He had committed numerous robberies, stealing not just from the Silver Tower but also from the An Royal Mansion. Word was that not only had the Five Cities Military Department been mobilized, but even the Imperial Forestry Army was tirelessly hunting down the prolific thief, causing quite a commotion. Additionally, a reward of 1,000 taels of silver was announced.
Chen Afu was grinding her teeth in fury. The little creature was always stirring up trouble. Couldn’t it have targeted crooked rich merchants instead of the royal mansion?

Nonetheless, Chen Afu was still slightly worried about the creature’s safety.
The previous few times when gold sparrow returned, Chen Afu had been asleep, hence she had no idea of the magnitude of the trouble it had caused. Tonight, seeing that Dabao was asleep, she pinched the center of her left palm intending to summon it back quickly.
About half an hour later, the gold sparrow indeed returned, entered the room straightaway and dropped four gold bars.
Chen Afu exclaimed in shock, “Are you still committing crimes against the wind?”
The gold sparrow chittered with laughter, “Don’t worry, Mommy, these weren’t stolen from the Capital City. They were stolen from the Shi Anfu.”
The provincial Capital of Jibei Province, Shi Anfu, was about 300 miles away from here. The fact that the gold sparrow was able to return in half/an hour was testament to its incredible speed.
