In the afternoon of this day, Yang Lin was sorting out the materials he had brought back from Xiangshan County, all about the losses of foreign foreign businessmen, when there was a knock on the door of the study, bang, and a familiar voice came.

"Young master, someone is looking for you outside, and he said he wants to make a deal with you."

Immersed in the matter of processing data, he was suddenly disturbed, Yang Lin felt a trace of unhappiness in his heart, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked leisurely, "Who is looking for me?" What to buy and sell? I don't know if I'm an official, can't I do business? ”

"Young Master Qiqi, I don't know who he is, he just claims to be a businessman in the firewood business, specializing in the trade of driftwood, wood that is resistant to water erosion. Young master, do you still want to see him? Do you need me to send him away? ”

Seeing that the young master did not immediately agree, Yang Xiao added: "Young master, I also told him this before. But he said that if I brought the word, you would definitely see him, and that was why I would come to report to you. ”

Yang Lin's expression changed suddenly, his attitude reversed, and he said again and again: "Hurry up, bring people in, and invite them directly to the study." ”

Yang Xiao was very surprised, what happened to the young master? The attitude changed so quickly, and it was completely different from usual, and the usual hospitality was in the living room, and it was rare to see guests in the study. Despite muttering and incomprehension in his heart, Yang Xiao did not stop and immediately went to pick up the man.

Soon, the door of the study creaked open, and Yang Xiao came in with a stranger, looking at his dress, he didn't look like a businessman at all, but more like a thug wandering the streets.

"Yang Xiao, you go out, take the door with you, there is no urgent matter, no one can get close to the study, don't disturb us."

"Yes, young master, I will arrange for the two of them to guard not far from the study, so that no one can get close."

Yang Xiao left, silence returned to the study, and the stranger who claimed to be buying and selling firewood gradually became nervous, lowered his head, did not dare to face it, his breathing became more and more rapid, and he didn't know how to place his hands and feet, but Yang Lin was quietly observing this person, looking up and down carefully.

Then, Yang Lin pushed the thing in front of him, put the brush away, and asked unhurriedly, "Who sent you?" ”

In an instant, the stranger immediately knelt on the ground, prostrate there, and replied nervously: "Young Master Qiqi, it was Chief of Staff Zhuge and Regiment Commander Qi who sent me here to explain all the actions of the small Guangzhou Mansion to obey your orders and bring some of your intentions back to the island. ”

"It turned out to be them, no wonder you know the code words of contact. Okay, stand up, I don't have so many rules here, you don't have to kneel on the ground at every turn, there is a chair next to you, let's sit down and talk. ”

"By the way, what's your name? Since you will be responsible for my contact with that side in the future, I must know who your surname is, and I can't call you by your name. ”

As soon as the stranger sat down, he heard Yang Lin's question, and immediately replied: "Young master, my name is Qu Kun, or it is okay to call me Xiao Kun." ”

"Okay, I'll call you Xiao Kun."

For a while, neither of the two spoke, and there was a cold scene. After a short silence, Yang Lin took the lead in breaking the calm, uncomfortable feeling, and asked, "Xiao Kun, do you know Li Lianying?" ”

However, it was okay that Yang Lin didn't speak, but when he spoke, Qu Kun trembled with fright, knelt on the ground again, looked extremely nervous, and begged for mercy: "Young master, the little one has eyes and no beads, and I hope to forgive me for my disrespectful sin." ”

Yang Lin was confused, and he was very puzzled, unexpectedly, didn't he just mention a person's name? As for being so scared? It seems that he has done something hurtful and needs to be forgiven.

"Qu Kun, get up and speak, why are you disrespectful? Tell me why, and whatever it is, I can forgive you. ”

Qu Kun stood up tremblingly, didn't dare to sit anymore, and said tremblingly: "Young Master Qiyu, the idea of the gang to discuss that matter with Li Lianying was my idea, and it can be said that I made it all together from beginning to end. ”

After finishing speaking, Qu Kun stood there cautiously, not daring to take a breath, and the fine sweat on his forehead showed how scared and nervous he was at this time.

Yang Lin instantly understood, understood it in his chest, and said without caring at all: "I thought what was going on, I already knew about this matter, but I didn't expect you to handle it." It's okay, it's gone, and I'm not hurt. ”

"Besides, I wasn't your young master at that time, and there is nothing wrong with you doing this, not only is there no fault, but there is merit."

As soon as he heard this, the big stone in Qu Kun's heart suddenly let go, and he felt his whole body relaxed, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and at the same time immediately grateful: "Thank you, young master, for a lot, and don't pursue the small past mistakes." ”

Seeing that the misunderstanding was cleared and the matter was clarified, Yang Lin was no longer entangled in this matter, so he said loudly: "You know Li Lianying just right, presumably he also knows his intention to harm me, and things are much easier." ”

Despite the release of his suspicions, Qu Kun still had some palpitations, and asked cautiously: "Young master, I don't know what you are referring to?" ”

Yang Lin thought slightly, organized the language, and then said slowly: "En~ That's the case, Xiao Kun, I want you to mobilize all the brothers in the city to secretly make the whole city know about my return, and then secretly spread that Li Lianying colluded with pirates to murder me, so that the people in Guangzhou Mansion understand this matter in their hearts, so that Li Lianying is in a situation of verbal criticism and writing, and is on the cusp." ”

"By the way, I heard Zhuge Mou say, we have an IOU for Li Lianying to cooperate with us, the matter of the IOU will be kept secret first, and there will be no leakage, as a secret weapon, I will be of great use in the future."

"Okay, young master, the little one knows, I'll do it when I go back, and strive to meet your requirements within two days, so that Li Lianying will be notorious."

After saying this, Qu Kun couldn't help wiping the fine sweat on his forehead, and sighed in his heart, this new head was really black-bellied. The unknown knife robbed Li Lianying, but secretly made a stumbling block, drowned each other with the help of the saliva of the people of Guangzhou Mansion, and the yin death did not pay for his life, and it would not arouse everyone's suspicion, especially the governor, Li Lianying's brother-in-law.

"Xiao Kun, after this matter is done, you come over again, I still have something to explain. However, since Li Lianying knows you, don't come in through the main entrance next time, and the province will attract the attention of people with a heart. In the future, when you come in through the back door, I will say hello to the backyard, and as long as it is you, as long as there are no special circumstances, I will immediately bring you to meet me. ”

"Well, okay, it's still thoughtful from the young master. That young master, do you have any other instructions, if not, your subordinates will retire first, so contact the brothers in the city to arrange that matter, and complete your explanation as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, follow me, and let Yang Xiao lead you out the back door."

Then, Yang Lin stood up, took Qu Kun out of the study, came to the courtyard, and waved his hand to Yang Xiao. I saw Yang Xiao trotting not far away, arriving in the blink of an eye, standing in front of the two.

"Yang Xiao, this is Qu Kun, take him out the back door. By the way, tell the person guarding the back door, as long as he comes in the future, he doesn't need to report it, and he will bring people in directly. If there are no guests, take them directly to the study. ”

Yang Xiao looked at this person named Qu Kun with some surprise, he didn't care how old he was, he just looked at it slightly, and quickly replied: "Okay, young master, when I send him away, I will let the subordinate in charge of guarding the back door know him, so that he can come in the future." ”

"Okay, just do as you say, and take him out."

Looking at the two people who left, especially Qu Kun's back, the corners of Yang Lin's mouth rose slightly, and a wicked smile appeared, as if he had thought of something, which made him a little proud, and then put it back in the study and continued to sort out the unfinished materials.
