Chapter 62: Coercion
Seeing Zhang Liang's terrifying look, Chen Sheng also smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's me." After all, Zhang Liang had spent a little effort to recruit him, although the situation of this meeting was a little surprising.
"Brother Chen, it turned out to be you." Zhang Liang's face softened suddenly, his face changed faster than turning a book, the slightly murderous face before was gone, and the gentle and elegant gentleman's demeanor reappeared in front of Chen Sheng. Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Brother Chen, did you have any misunderstanding with Miss Ling, let the person go, my brother is here to make amends for Miss Ling, what is the matter, how to say it well." Zhang Liang's tone was sincere.
Chen Sheng looked at the strong man and a group of guards behind Zhang Liang, and secretly said in his heart that if I let people go, my group of guys will come up and I will be dismembered by random knives. Besides, even if I am willing to let people go, this Ling Suyun will not either!
Chen Sheng hit the snake with the stick and said, "Zhang Gongzi, you let your people withdraw first, I promise not to hurt Miss Ling's hair." ”
Ling Fengdu, who was standing behind Zhang Liang, said urgently: "Don't you think about it!" "He didn't want Ling Suyun to leave this cabin for half a step." Zhang Gongzi, I suggest, kill them all! Ling Fengdu lowered his voice and leaned close to Zhang Liang's ear and said.
Zhang Liang smiled coldly. He knew that Ling Fengdu did not want Ling Suyun to leave this place alive, so as not to expose his betrayal of his clan. But Zhang Liang had his own plan, and he immediately said coldly: "Have you found the letter from her?" ”
Ling Fengdu's face immediately drooped, and he said in a low voice, "Not yet." ”
Zhang Liang no longer spoke to Ling Fengdu, but said to Chen Sheng: "Brother Chen, you know, I have always admired you. I don't care what your purpose is here tonight, let Miss Ling go, I don't blame what you did tonight, and I will reuse it for you, and we will do a great job together, how about it? ”
"The Tao is different, and it is not the same." Chen Sheng replied very simply. With Zhang Liang's character, maybe what he said was true, but Chen Sheng was unwilling to follow Zhang Liang's path. "Either let me go, or I'll die with Miss Ling." Chen Sheng's tone was gloomy, and the dagger in his hand was a few points closer to Ling Suyun's neck.
"Don't!" Zhang Liang shouted out at once. He understands that Ling Suyun is a cash cow, with Ling Suyun in his hands, he can at least squeeze nearly a million gold from the Ling family, and the shops and contacts operated by the Ling family in various parts of the empire are all in Ling Suyun's hands. As Ling Suyun's identity, with the help of the letter talisman, he can transfer money infinitely. Zhang Liang's rebellion needed a large amount of financial support, so Ling Suyun's status in his mind was by no means low.
"Childe, this kid can't stay!" The strong man Split Wind muttered in Zhang Liang's ear: "If this kid escapes, then we will be exposed here, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
The muscles on Zhang Liang's face twitched violently. With his resourcefulness, he would not have known this. It's just that first, he thinks that Chen Sheng is a talent and wants to recruit him, and secondly, Ling Suyun is in Chen Sheng's hands, and he is also a rat trap, so he doesn't dare to tear his face. However, he knew that since Chen Sheng suddenly appeared here, it already meant that this place was no longer safe. Chen Sheng would never appear in this place for no reason, if Chen Sheng was a member of the imperial court, then this place would be even more dangerous, and it could overturn at any time.
Chen Sheng saw Zhang Liang's face hesitate for a moment, and his heart sank, worried that Zhang Liang would order to be killed. In this small space, it is not easy to fight.
However, Zhang Liang's face was cloudy for a while, and he said, "Okay, I'll let you get out of here." With a wave of his hand, he let the crowd behind him pour out of the deck, and he slowly withdrew backwards.
When Chen Sheng saw Zhang Liang with one hand behind him, he knew that there was something strange in it. Judging from experience, Zhang Liang should have been calling his subordinates to ambush at this time, so as not to give Chen Sheng a chance to escape.
"Brother Chen, can you tell me why you are on my ship?" Zhang Liang asked as he walked back. Although it is clear that Chen Sheng will not tell the truth. But Zhang Liang still hoped to be able to ask some useful information from Chen Sheng's mouth: "Are you doing things for the government now?" ”
"What government?" Chen Sheng pretended to be stupid and said: "A distant cousin of mine went missing from collecting firewood near here, I thought you were caught here, so I sneaked in to find someone, sure enough, not only my cousin, but also many villagers were arrested by you to work as coolies here." What exactly do you want to do? Chen Sheng spoke, but he did not relax his vigilance, and walked out step by step with Ling Suyun "hostage".
"I see." Zhang Liang suddenly realized. Although Chen Sheng's words may not be credible, Zhang Liang is also difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood for a while. "Brother Chen, this should be a misunderstanding." Zhang Liang smiled bitterly, and said while retreating: "It's all the people under him who are acting recklessly, I originally asked them to hire a group of people to be the porters, these bastards must be greedy for salaries, and then go outside to arrest people indiscriminately, I will let all the porters go now." What do you think of salary compensation? For this, Zhang Liang is quite sincere.
"Don't work for Mr. Zhang." Chen Sheng smiled coldly, he heard that there were two people hiding in the two hatches on the left and right nearby, and it seemed that they wanted to copy Chen Sheng's back road and attack Chen Sheng from behind.
Chen Sheng was not polite, walked to the place, immediately pulled out the three-edged blade from his waist, and stabbed it at the side hatch.
With a sound of "tuk", the military thorn pierced the hatch, and then there was a muffled sound, Chen Sheng could feel it, after the three-edged blade pierced the door panel, it was submerged into the human body again.
"Ah......" A muffled scream sounded inside the hatch, and the three-edged blade that Chen Sheng pulled out was already stained with blood. However, Chen Sheng did not stop, and stabbed the other side of the hatch with his backhand.
Zhang Liang's pupils contracted suddenly. After two screams, he could no longer be as calm as before.
In front of him, Chen Sheng killed two of his subordinates in a row, which had completely angered him.
"Chen Sheng, you are very good!" Zhang Liang's face was a little distorted.
"You're better." Chen Sheng was too lazy to engage in a war of words with Zhang Liang. Ling Suyun's calves trembled slightly, Chen Sheng held her hostage with one hand, and he could still free his hands to easily clean up others, how not to shock her.
"If you don't want to die anymore, you'd better be honest." Chen Sheng said indifferently: "I'm not afraid of killing, you may not know that along the way, in fact, I have killed a lot of people." Kill one more to earn! ”
