He brought out twenty or so literate and numerate youngsters from Yeting Palace.
Just as his master had said, by signing a slave contract and a death pact, and implanting a Heart Control Jade Token in their bodies, he could ensure nothing would go wrong.
Lin Rui himself was a ritualist, and among the top in the fifth realm at that, capable of all kinds of Illusion Array talismans without needing to seek help from others.
This was of course very inhumane, but this concerned Lin Rui himself and many around him, he could not afford to be careless or merciful.
Moreover, it was better for these sons of criminal officials to be working for him rather than staying in Yeting Palace being tormented by eunuchs and eventually becoming one of them.
At least in terms of treatment, Lin Rui would certainly provide well for them.
...
These children were definitely not reliable workers nor did they know how to do business, but the trading companies that Lin Rui was forming were just a bunch of shell companies engaged in arbitrage, requiring only inventory management, bookkeeping, and reselling, without complicated business processes.
Their upstream partners wouldn’t cheat him either.
Without a special reason, who would risk offending the mighty commander of the assassination bureau over a little money?
Did they not know how to spell ‘death’?
In fact, the so-called ‘trade’ was essentially offering him protection money, asking him to act as a guarantor.
Before Lin Rui could finish setting up his company, Zhou Yunfei sent him a message saying that East Asia had raised the prices of various bulk goods, and they currently needed three types of goods, including ‘Divine Heart Tea,’ ‘Dream Grass,’ and ‘Star Sand,’ as there was a particular shortage in the Federation and he hoped Lin Rui could help organize some.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): The purchase price has risen by 50% again, what’s going on?

These items aren’t exactly in short supply.
Aren’t there plenty of these goods within the Great Song regions?
How could the prices have increased so suddenly?
After reading Lin Rui’s reply, Zhou Yunfei thought to himself, don’t you know why yourself?
But he still replied: Currently, more than a dozen businesses around Luo Capital have been sealed, and the remaining major firms have suspended their smuggling operations out of caution.
Now, the supply of goods across Great Song has decreased by nearly two-thirds.

Lin Rui was stunned for a moment, suddenly realizing the immense utility of power.
But if this deal was completed, would he be abusing his power for personal gain?
Lin Rui found the Federal Exotic Act online, just opened it to check, and then gave up again.
It’s said that one’s own family knows one’s affairs best, and he had committed too many illegal and rule-breaking acts.@@@@
Instead of thinking about how to avoid being prosecuted and held accountable, it would be better to advance to the ninth realm as soon as possible and become an honorary member of the congress.
The ‘Divine Merit Token’ was no trivial matter; it not only enhanced the divine might of the Protective Country and the Calming Dragon projections, but it was also a ticket for a candidate Divine Envoy, equivalently a life-saving gold medal.
All Martial Cultivators who obtained a ‘Divine Merit Token’ were people under the gods’ watch; their status even surpassed that of the princes within the court.
Even if they committed a crime, the ‘Divine Envoy’s Office’ had no jurisdiction to deal with them; they needed to consult the deities!
The issue was that the deities and their priests, aside from the crime of blasphemy, didn’t pay much attention to any other offenses.
Lin Rui thought that had he known this earlier, he would not have built so many firms; just building one firm under his own name would have sufficed, as others could not investigate the accounts and various businesses of his firms without Divine Palace approval.
“By the way, what made you contact me at this time?” Luo Wangshu asked with a light chuckle.
“It surely isn’t because you want to take a leave, is it?”
Lin Rui’s expression turned solemn: “Master, I just received another piece of intelligence involving a large number of extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, but I’m currently short on manpower.
The Treason Bureau is investigating several major cases simultaneously, and we’re stretched thin, so I was hoping to borrow some more people from you.”
This time, he didn’t plan on involving anyone from his entourage or Xue Lingxue and the others.
“A large number of extraterritorial Heavenly Demons?” Luo Wangshu asked skeptically.
“How large a number?”
Lin Rui immediately replied: “More than 200 people, possibly 8 to 12 Transformed Dragon Martial Cultivators.”
At that moment at Divine Scenery Mountain, Luo Wangshu narrowed her eyes.
8 to 12 Transformed Dragon Martial Cultivators?
This was undoubtedly another major Heavenly Demon case!
Luo Wangshu then let out a bitter laugh.
Her disciple was truly zealous in his hatred for demons!
The same was true for devious demons as for Heavenly Demons.
None of the past commanders of the Treason Bureau in the history of the Great Song Dynasty had ever initiated such stormy assaults on extraterritorial Heavenly Demons upon taking office.
In just a few short days, he was about to cause the extraterritorial Heavenly Demons the loss of several Transformed Dragon Martial Cultivators.
The child was perhaps too honest, taking his duties so earnestly that Luo Wangshu herself felt uneasy—
Luo Wangshu nibbled her lips, wanting to advise Lin Hao to take things slowly.
Fighting Heavenly Demons benefited the Great Song Dynasty and the deities, but once the extraterritorial Heavenly Demons began retaliating, the consequences would have to be borne by Lin Hao alone.
Luo Wangshu sighed, thinking it would be better to remind him when he came to do his homework.
“Alright, I’ll allocate my Dragon Guards to you later.
After this mission, remember to come here and do your homework; I have something to tell you.”
