The process of distributing the silver was pre-arranged by Cai Wei. She instructed Nangong Yi to make the donation in his name, with Manager Li assisting in distributing the silver taels, while Zhui Feng, Zhu Yue and others were to keep a guard to prevent anyone who was obsessed with money, whose eyes glittered at the sight of money, from doing anything irrational...
The silver was delivered house by house. The villagers who received the gifts were tearfully grateful, ceaselessly chanting prayers to Buddha. Some even asked Manager Li for the young master's name, so they could go home and set him up an immortal plaque, to which they would offer three sticks of incense a day!
Of course, these requests were all refused by Manager Li.
When the turn came to give the silver to Mu Zhongli, Manager Li suddenly stopped preparing the silver. With an ambiguous smile, he looked at Mu Zhongli and said: "I'm sorry, Grand Master Mu. Unfortunately, there's no silver here for you."
