"I want you to set another fire for me." Jin inlaid jade said so.

"It's so easy to set fire, you need to find me an outsider?" Xu Lin asked strangely.

"If it were simple, how could the Governor's Mansion burn to the ground overnight. He Tianhua was afraid of dying ruthlessly, how could there be no fire prevention measures in the Gaomen mansion, and there was a master of returning to the void to take care of him. But in this case, He Tianhua can still be seriously injured, which shows that Master Xu has a special method of arson. Jin inlaid jade analysis.

"Well, you're right, what do you want me to burn for you?" Xu Lin asked.

"The Honglu Temple branch in Sanshan Pass, I hope that Master Xu can burn it down, and by the way, it would be better to burn all the people inside to death." Jin inlaid jade said.

"Your enemy?" Xu Lin asked.

"What, does Master Xu still want to ask right and wrong, to see if those people deserve to die?" Jin Zhuyu teased, as if he was saying that Xu Lin was too pedantic.

But Xu Lin said with great certainty: "Of course, although I, Xu Lin, am not a saint, I will not listen to your words and kill people and set fires, I always want to know why you want to kill these people." ”

"I asked, I was afraid that you wouldn't dare to let go of this fire." Jin Jianyu said defiantly.

"Shopkeeper Jin, you just said that I am a smart person, so don't play this trick. It's useless to agitate, why did you burn this place? ”

"Okay, then I won't hide it from Master Xu, because the barbarian mission is in the Honglu Temple, and they are preparing to go out of the Sanshan Pass to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his birthday." Jin inlaid jade said.

When Xu Lin heard this, he was puzzled for a while, this killer of the Qingjie Gate wanted to kill these barbarians? Could it be that some super-rich righteous man paid the price to let them do it?

Ah, it's nice to be rich.

"Now that Master Xu knows who the target is, he shouldn't refuse, right?" Jin Zhuyu asked.

"You answer me a few questions first, kill these barbarian envoys, I'm afraid the position of the prince will not be stable, right?" Xu Lin asked.

"Isn't it just right, you are supporting the second prince, and it will be of great benefit to you to let him take advantage of it." Jin inlaid jade said.

"Yes, the barbarians will be angry, and the prince will be unstable. But if He Tianhua, the governor of Southern Province today, is seriously injured, and the entire Tiannan Province is in chaos, if the barbarians take the opportunity to attack, I am afraid that this Tiannan Province will be a piece of erosion, I am afraid that hundreds of people will suffer, you may have thought about the consequences? Xu Lin asked.

"Master Xu is really compassionate, but don't worry, the barbarians can't beat it. They will certainly amass forces on the border and force the crown prince to compensate them. At that time, in order to maintain stability, the prince will definitely pay compensation, and he will pay a sky-high price. ”

"If the prince does this, the reputation he has built before will be ruined." Xu Lin retorted.

Tiannan Province reported that the barbarians did not dare to invade, and the world was peaceful, which was one of the prince's achievements. used to blow in the court that the barbarians had to bow down, but now if you pay compensation, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

"On the surface, of course, it is necessary to give a stern warning, and at the same time to send an envoy to rebuke the provocation of the barbarians. But in reality, the indemnity will start from Tiannan Province and go straight to the border. After receiving these indemnities, the barbarians will retreat, ostensibly as if the prince had scaremed the barbarians away. Jin Zhuyu said with great certainty.

"So, your purpose is not to burn the barbarian envoys, nor to undermine the prestige of the crown prince, but to face this batch of indemnities, right? Qingjiemen waits for work, and if he robs this compensation, he can make a lot of money. Xu Lin asked.

"Master Xu is indeed a smart person, if you do this, you are a friend of the Qingjiemen, and if you need it, the Qingjiemen will naturally accept you." The gold inlaid jade seduced and said.

However, Xu Lin decisively refused, saying: "If you rob this money, the barbarians will invade, and the number of people who will die will be tens of thousands." Sorry, it looks like we can't work together anymore. ”

Although Xu Lin knew that the three caves of the cunning rabbit were good for him, it was a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of people, and it was impossible for him to risk this kind of thing. This is different from burning the Governor's Palace, even if He Tianhua dies, the crown prince can also assign another person to control Tiannan Province, which is just a person who changes the joint for the Manchus.

But by doing this, Qingjiemen is clearly provoking a national war. The unprepared Tiannan Province will be retaliated against by the barbarians.

Jin Zhuyu said disapprerovingly: "The barbarians actually invade every year, do you think those who were captured by He Tianhua as slaves are not wars?" ”

"That's different, I didn't arrest those people, but as soon as this fire is put out, I will be a sinner for the ages." Xu Lin said firmly.

"Master Xu, don't you think about it anymore? It's good for all of us. Jin Zhuyu persuaded again.

But Xu Lin has made up his mind, and it is impossible to agree to this matter. It's a pity that there is no way to do it in this way, and he would rather take his disciples to take a detour and leave Tiannan Province. Xu Lin thought that this transaction would end like this, but he didn't expect Jin Zhuyu to suddenly smile and say to him: "Master Xu is really a righteous man. It's just that here's a letter for you, so you might as well read it and talk about it. ”

Xu Lin suspiciously took a secret letter from Jin Jiyu's hand, the fire paint on it was intact, and obviously no one had opened it. When I opened the letter, there was only a short sentence on it.

"Master Xu, please help me in the matter of burning the barbarian envoys, I promise that the barbarian invasion can be solved and will not hurt innocent people. - Li Ce"

The words are very beautiful, much more beautiful than the dog-like words he wrote, even if you don't know calligraphy, you can see that it is a good hand of dragon flying and phoenix dance, and there is a majestic momentum when you look at it.

But......

"Shopkeeper Jin, what do you mean by this letter?" Xu Lin said suspiciously.

This time, it was Jin Zhuyu's turn to be shocked and asked, "Master Xu, don't you understand the meaning of this letter?" This lord has promised that the barbarians will not invade, so you can set fire to it with confidence. ”

"It's really funny, just run this letter, just a word? The handwriting is indeed beautiful, but I have to believe any letter, which is too much to look down on me. Xu Lin slapped the letter on the table and said.

Jin Jianyu had an embarrassed expression on his face that he didn't know what to say, and after a long while, he whispered to Xu Lin: "You don't recognize the name on the letter?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this guy named Li Ce." Xu Lin said disdainfully.

Jin inlaid jade poofed, and finally couldn't help laughing, and then explained: "The current emperor's surname is Li, and this Li Ce is His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”

Xu Lin: ......

It's embarrassing.
