Chapter 45: Die Like a Mad Dog
Chen Lingxiao returned to the Earl's Palace, and after celebrating with his father and sister-in-law, he got into a carriage overnight and went straight to Jiannan City.
He was going to go to Da'an City, the capital of Southern Xinjiang Province, with Dian Wei, to discuss the agency of mechanical clocks with the chief treasurer of Shengyuan Qianzhuang in the southwest of Jinguo.
The time is too urgent to delay.
Before leaving, Chen Lingxiao also specially talked to Jian Nanbo and asked him to collect a large amount of feces and urine, as well as some other things.
Now, Jian Nanbo admires and trusts his son, and he does exactly what his son tells him, almost obeying his words.
This is also the reason why Chen Lingxiao's performance is too good.
......
The night was like ink, starless and moonless, and pitch black.
On a roof outside the entrance to the dungeon in Jiannan City, there was a person, a man with a body as strong as an iron tower, sitting there, motionless, like a sculpture.
He was none other than Dian Wei, with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, his eyes opened, and his tiger eyes shone brightly, looking in the direction of the entrance to the dungeon.
I saw the door of the dungeon open.
A man, escorted by several jailers, stepped out and walked towards a carriage parked at the door.
If Chen Lingxiao was here, he would definitely be able to recognize at a glance that this son was Lan Xiaoyan.
However, now his name is not Lan Xiaoyan, but Lan Zhenshan.
The name Lan Xiaoyan has been placed on the head of the substitute ghost in the dungeon, and tomorrow Lan Xiaoyan will be executed for his heinous crimes.
"Chen Lingxiao, after the Jiannan Earl's Mansion is dismembered, Lao Tzu will definitely catch you, cut off the flesh on your body piece by piece and feed it to the dogs!!
And Chen Ruoxi, Lao Tzu will press you on the bed and ravage you well, making you scream and beg for mercy!!"
Lan Xiaoyan, who changed his name to Lan Zhenshan, secretly gritted his teeth and swore when he thought of Chen Lingxiao.
His hatred for Chen Lingxiao is like a surging river, endless.
Shout!
At this moment, there was a sudden faint sound of breaking wind in his ears, Lan Xiaoyan suddenly felt creepy, and instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was useless.
Immediately afterward, he felt a slight numbness in his arm.
Lan Xiaoyan hurriedly checked, only to see a red spot the size of a pin's eye on his arm, itchy and numb.
Other than that, he didn't feel anything else.
At this moment, Dian Wei, who was originally sitting on the roof, has disappeared.
At the gate of Jiannan City, a carriage was parked there, and a small group of cavalry was guarding it.
Chen Lingxiao was sitting in the carriage, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Sou!
A figure leapt from the tower and landed firmly on the ground.
The cavalry hurried to the alert.
"Don't be nervous, your own people!" Chen Lingxiao pulled the curtain and said to the cavalry.
The person who came was Dian Wei who completed the mission.
He stepped forward, bowed down to Chen Lingxiao, and said, "Lord, everything is done!"
"Okay, let's set off for Da'an City. Chen Lingxiao said and closed the curtain.
A smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Yesterday, Chen Lingxiao expected that Lan Xiaoyan would not die, so he sent Dian Wei to guard the door of the dungeon, and as soon as that kid came out, he would inject the other party with rabies virus.
Just now, what Lan Xiaoyan had in his arm was the rabies virus needle.
It is conceivable that it will not be long before Lan Xiaoyan will have a rabies attack and die miserably like a mad dog.
Humanity is unfair, I will punish for the heavens!
......
Castle Lord's Mansion.
Lingnan County Shouzheng sat there, playing a game alone, playing chess, and asked without raising his head: "City Lord Zhou, is there any change over there in the Earl's Mansion?"
"My lord, according to the report of the subordinates who are monitoring the Earl's Palace, Chen Lingxiao set off overnight with a team of cavalry and took the official road to the direction of Da'an City. Zhou Feng said respectfully.
Lin Tao stopped his movements, raised his head and looked out the window, and said to himself: "Now, the Jiannan Earl's Mansion is in danger, Chen Lingxiao should stay in the Earl's Mansion, what is he doing in Da'an City?"
"This subordinate doesn't know!"
Lin Tao's eyes burst out with a terrifying light, and said, "Chen Lingxiao went to Da'an City, definitely to save the Earl's Palace." To be exact, it is to find money to resolve the debt crisis of the Earl's Court!"
"What do you mean?"
Lin Tao analyzed: "A few days ago, Yuan Chushan, the shopkeeper of Shengyuan Qian Zhuang in Jiannan City, went to the Earl's Palace, and at the bidding meeting, he also relieved Chen Lingxiao.
This shows that Yuan Chushan must have reached some secret agreement with the Earl's Court.
And tonight, Chen Lingxiao rushed to Da'an City in the stars and the moon, if I guessed correctly, he must have gone to the big shopkeeper of the Shengyuan Qian Zhuang in the southwest of the Jin Kingdom to discuss the matter of raising funds.
After all, the amount of gold coins that Chen Lingxiao needed was huge, and Yuan Chushan, the treasurer of the Jiannancheng branch of the Shengyuan Money Village, could not be the master, and only the big shopkeeper of the Southwest Cent Village could make a decision!"
I have to say that Lin Tao is very powerful, and with these clues, he will reason things to the fullest.
"Then what should we do? We must not allow Chen Lingxiao to raise a huge amount of money to resolve the debt crisis of the Jiannan Earl's Palace! Otherwise, our previous efforts will be in vain!" Zhou Feng said.
Lin Tao fell silent when he heard this.
What Zhou Feng said was reasonable, in order to bring down the Jiannan Earl's Mansion, they did too many things, including lobbying the major money banks not to lend money to the Earl's Mansion and so on.
If the Earl's Mansion could not be destroyed, not only would all his efforts be in vain, but Lin Tao would not be able to explain to the Governor of Southern Xinjiang, to be exact, to be exact, to the monarch.
The governor of southern Xinjiang had the grace of knowing him, and if it weren't for the other party's support, he would not have had the opportunity to become the pioneer of the New Deal.
If Lin Tao loses this battle, not only will his official position be lost, but also the governor of southern Xinjiang may be implicated.
Now, the Jin court is in crisis, the treasury is empty, and the monarch is eager to complete the reform of the new policy and recover the fiefs and taxes of the old nobles to enrich the treasury.
The Jiannan Earl's Mansion is a banner in the southern Xinjiang province, and it bears the brunt.
As long as it is taken down, most of the other old nobles in southern Xinjiang will give in and hand over their fiefs and taxes.
Therefore, the Earl's Mansion of Jiannan must perish!
Lin Tao's eyes flashed, and after a little thought, he said in a deep voice: "Go and call Mr. Long." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he wrote a letter by hand.
Soon, an old man in black walked in and saluted respectfully to Lin Tao: "Old decay see Lord County Guard!"
The person who came was Mr. Long.
Every time Zhou Feng saw him, he didn't like it in his heart, feeling that Mr. Long was like a cold poisonous snake that would pounce on him and bite him at any time.
"Mr. Long, you immediately take this handwritten letter and this jade pendant from the county guard, and you must send it to Da'an City before Chen Lingxiao reaches the capital of Southern Xinjiang, and hand it over to the big shopkeeper of Longsheng Teahouse, the matter is urgent!" Lin Tao said.
"Yes, Lord Commander!
After counting the hours, the crisp sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside the door.
......
Three days and three nights later, Da'an City, the capital of Southern Xinjiang Province, was at the entrance of Longsheng Teahouse.
A black horse carrying an emaciated old man galloped to the door of the teahouse.
Hissββ!
Before the old man could jump off the horse, the black horse raised his head to the sky and let out a terrible neigh, blood gushed from his seven orifices, his hooves were weak, and he fell to the ground and died violently!
The old man was Mr. Long, who was covered in dust and got up from the ground, looking very embarrassed.
