Ignoring Yang Shun anymore, the two went to the backyard.

"Lin Dong, you are very bad."

Halfway through, Yun Lan suddenly said a word.

Lin Dong was stunned, and he didn't understand the meaning of this.

"If you do this, I'm afraid it will intensify the battle for the throne." Yun Lan said lightly.

"Did you guess that the king was the emperor?" Lin Dong was surprised.

Yun Lan nodded: "This Yang Shun, I thought he was just a petted and delicate villain." But...... If he really understands almost everything, as he says, I'm afraid that only the emperor can control him. ”

Lin Dong smiled and said helplessly: "It's not that I'm bad, it's really a last resort, the inn wants to keep developing, so I can only try to find opportunities to protect myself." As for intensifying the struggle for the throne, I only know that to be a good person, you have to do what you can, whether it will trap all the people in fire and water, for me this realm is too high and too high, and it is not my turn to worry. ”

"Actually, your ability is not small." Yun Lan smiled: "At the very least, the most favored eunuch by the emperor's side is grateful to you. This also indirectly means that you can almost already influence the situation of the entire Han Kingdom. ”

"Really?" Lin Dong touched his chin, and when he said it, it was really ...... In a daze, he can be regarded as a figure who can affect the entire Han Kingdom.

Looking at Lin Dong, who was complacent, Yun Lan couldn't cry or laugh a little, she wanted to remind this guy not to pay too much attention to worldly interests, but I didn't expect that this guy was really intoxicated by it.

"By the way, I'm so bad......" Lin Dong suddenly said, "It doesn't have any impact on our relationship, right?" ”

"What's the relationship?" Yun Lan asked rhetorically.

Lin Dong said stupidly: "Friendship ......"

"I didn't just know you today." Yun Lan chuckled, "Until now, I haven't seen you do anything good. ”

That's right!

Lin Dong nodded very seriously, speaking of which, when he was in Sealand City, the first thing he did was to beat a thug, then beat Dou Changkun in Qiushui Academy, and then stripped Fu Zizhou...... He really hasn't done anything good in front of Yun Lan.

After arriving in the backyard, Lin Dong looked at Yun Lan and said with a smile: "How is it?" Let's try a spirit array that can speed up cultivation by four times? ”

"Hmm!" Yun Lan nodded slightly.

After opening Yun Lan's room to quadruple the cultivation bonus, Lin Dong naturally did not go all the way to Xilan City with the colorful bed, but went straight back to the room to cultivate. In the afternoon, I got the news that the four of them had left the inn.

Three days later, a piece of good news knocked on Lin Dong's door.

Wang Liumole, who was in charge of sweeping up the gangsters in the three counties, came back.

After explaining the experience in detail, Wang Liumo poured a sip of tea and said excitedly: "Shopkeeper, from today onwards, you will be the emperor on the street of Qiufeng Mansion." ”

Lin Dong shook his head, if Emperor Qianwei had not come to the inn, he didn't take it seriously to subdue all the gangsters in the cities, but now, he had some scruples.

The underground emperor of the entire Great Han Kingdom is also a big threat to the imperial court.

The inn can't rely on the cultivation bonus to recruit people with great fanfare, and if you want to guard, you have to choose from these gangsters. Fortunately, like the inn, subduing the gangsters of one or two counties is nothing to the Great Han Kingdom, and it will only attract attention if it is extended to the entire Great Han Kingdom.

After thinking about it carefully for a moment, Lin Dong said with a straight face: "Little Liu, you have to be careful about this matter in the future, you guys...... It's best not to reveal your identity. ”

"Why?" Wang Liumo's eyes widened, if he couldn't reveal his identity, what did this gangster do?

"The tree is a big wind!" Lin Dong said coldly: "If you hide in the shadows, even if someone wants to deal with a few of you, you won't be able to find anyone for a while." If there is a bit of a rumor, we can also prepare for it in advance. ”

Wang Liumo nodded helplessly.

"By the way, didn't you say last time that there were six gangsters worth developing?" Lin Dong asked, "How's the progress?" ”

Wang Liumo smiled bitterly: "When one was being chased and killed with Liu Hao, he saw Liu Hao being caught, and the other party was ruthless and ran away." The other five have passed this test, and if they are more ruthless again, they should be able to see the difference. ”

Lin Dong was silent, Zhang Daqian's side, the beggars in the ten counties under the jurisdiction of Qiufeng Mansion had been collected, and they could basically collect news from all over the country. If you use carrier pigeons to transmit, the advantages of the message are not obvious, the only thing lacking is that after all the messages are integrated, they can be easily sent to the message transfer stations in each county within one day.

This news relay station is undoubtedly the branches of each county.

Even if all five of them pass the last level, plus Wang Liumole, the five of them are only ten people. Not to mention the ability, the shopkeeper of the branch can make it up, but he can't spare the manpower to test other candidates, and he is still stretched.

After pondering for a long time, Lin Dong said helplessly: "Rest for a few days first, and then test those five as soon as possible, and after that, you all go to the county seat below." First, pick out all the candidates who are worthy of the development test, and then bring them to Autumn Wind City together for a centralized test. In addition, I will take the time to buy a piece of land to build a new inn. ”

"Hmm!" Wang Liumole nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's go outside for a few days if we don't have anything to do." Lin Dong instructed: "Before leaving, go to the counter and take 10,000 taels of silver per person, the backyard of the inn is the same as that of Autumn Wind City, and the inn in Sealand City is better to buy the house in the back and change it." As for the size of the inn, two floors are enough, and it is a waste to be big. ”

"Ten thousand taels?" Wang Liuxi shook his head and said, "There is no need for so much. ”

"You also need silver to make a little bit up and down, bring more just in case, and the guys are also recruited and kept there, so that they can open at any time."

Wang Liumo nodded and left the room in a hurry, leaving Lin Dong alone with a headache.

Now, the inn lacks nothing, there are already more than 400,000 taels of silver in his pocket, and there is no obstacle in the official face, and the families in the county towns only need to find a few disciples of the Huo Yuan faction if they are in trouble. What is lacking is only manpower.

It's just that this thing, no matter how urgent it is, can't be in a hurry. If you want to determine whether a person is loyal or not, you have to spend a lot of time cultivating feelings, and then slowly test them one by one, and then guide your loyalty to the inn, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Helplessly, Lin Dong had no choice but to give up after thinking hard about any way to improve. Fortunately, this matter is only a little slower to start, and when there are more loyal men, the number of people who can be elected at one time will also increase.

Cultivation, cooking three meals a day, occasionally chatting with Yun Lan or going out for a walk, it is a dull life, but it is not boring. Seven days later, it was estimated that Emperor Qianwei and his entourage were also about to arrive in Sealand City, and in the middle of the night, Lin Dong passed through the utility room and arrived at Sealand City.

Without alarming anyone, he climbed over the wall from the backyard, and Lin Dong turned into a black shadow and swept towards the county government with his ethereal steps.

Arriving at the county office, in the dantian, the spiritual power was still full and full, which was significantly stronger than Lin Dong's last night visit to the county office, which was obviously more than ten times stronger.

Turning over and entering the county office, sneaking all the way to the back office, there was almost no need to distinguish, Lin Dong immediately locked the room on the left side that was still lit with dim candlelight.

knocked on the door, and an old and deep voice instantly came from inside: "Who?" ”

"Rub the tea and drink it!" Lin Dong said with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Lin?" After an exclamation, the door was quickly opened, and Fu Chunjian stood in the door with a surprised face.

"Dean Fu, I'm here to ask you for help." Lin Dong arched his hand.

"Call me for help?" Fu Chunjian was stunned, and then turned sideways and moved aside a little: "Come and sit first." ”

Lin Dong nodded, he hadn't been here for a few months, Fu Chunjian's room was still quaint, and there was nothing attractive except for two large bookshelves.

Sitting down at the desk and looking at the mountain of copywriting, Lin Dong shook his head secretly. came twice, Fu Chunjian was still busy with business in the middle of the night, with Zhou Zhengye's respect for Fu Chunjian, it is estimated that he is busier than Fu Chunjian every day, these two are harder to be officials than to sell coolies.

Pouring a cup of tea for Lin Dong, Fu Chunjian sat down opposite Lin Dong and asked, "Shopkeeper Lin, what is the matter with me asking for help?" ”

"How can I say it......" Lin Dong scratched his head, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "I got a bed that can make people fall asleep quickly some time ago, and the longer people who meet the requirements of this bed live, the better the effect." It's been more than a month, and some time ago, I finally met such a guest. ”

Fu Chunjian was so confused that the second monk was puzzled, what does this have to do with asking for help from himself?

"This guest ......" Lin Dong said meaningfully, "I came to Qiufeng Mansion to visit friends, and one of them is in Xilan City." ”

Fu Chunjian stood up in amazement and said in surprise: "You mean, this guest is Emperor Qianwei?" ”

Lin Dong nodded and said, "I guessed it from what he said about his old friend, so I came to ask Dean Fu for help." Originally, he planned to return to Beijing, but after knowing that this bed could be sent to Sealand City, he planned to come back again. ”

"Shopkeeper Lin......" Fu Chunjian smiled bitterly: "How long do you want to keep him in Sealand City?" ”

"At least a month!" Lin Dong said without hesitation.

"You can give Fu a problem...... Fu Chun simply said: "If it's ten days and eight days, it's easy to do, and a month...... Even if he wants to stay, I'm afraid the capital can't help him stay for so long. ”

"It depends on Dean Fu's means." Lin Dong said meaningfully: "If you want to welcome or refuse, let him have the hope of getting along with Dean Fu, but it has always been a little bit close." Hang him slowly, believing that a month is not difficult. ”

"Do you want to welcome or refuse?" Fu Chunjian couldn't cry or laugh, this metaphor is a bit Meng Lang.

"Lin Dong is counting on Dean Fu for this." Lin Dong arched his hand.

Fu Chunjian nodded helplessly: "To be honest, it's not just him, I'm older, and I also miss my old friends a little." The reason why I didn't even give him the opportunity to see each other was that I was angry, and more importantly, I wanted him to feel guilty about me all the time. ”

"Dean Fu wants him to make amends from Zhou County, right?" The reason why Fu Chunjian did this, Lin Dong had also weighed it, so he smiled and said, "Disciple of an old friend, Emperor Qianwei probably won't despise it." ”

"At his age, coupled with his status, the word guilt would never want to be brought into the imperial tomb. But it didn't matter, if he hadn't run out of gas, he wouldn't have remembered my old friend. Whether it's guilt or a friend's disciple, within three or five years, there will be no way to mention the right karma. If you mention it too quickly, it will only make the positive karma the target of public criticism. ”

Fu Chunjian's gaze was a little scattered, no matter what Emperor Qianwei was, after all, he was also a master and servant for more than ten years.
