Chapter 8: Countermeasures
Pan Jinlian saw that he was in a bad mood and didn't dare to come forward to speak, and was startled when she saw that Ling Yun was going to drink medicine to commit suicide. She knocked off the bowl in Ling Yun's hand, and with a bang, it fell to the ground and shattered.
"Daguan, why did you commit suicide by taking poison, don't you want to be a slave? What if you die? Woooooo ”
Pan Jinlian couldn't care about anything else, and threw herself into Ling Yun's arms and cried bitterly.
Ling Yun was startled by the sound of the bowl being smashed, only to realize that he had actually spun in front of Lord Yama just now.
calmed down well, looked at the woman in his arms, and thought, it seems that this Pan Jinlian is really in love with Ximenqing.
But it's not unreasonable to think about it. A beautiful woman like a flower, because she was a handmaid for a big family, the master took a fancy to her, she didn't follow, sued the master's mother, and later was paid by the master for the dowry to let her marry Wu Dalang.
has been helplessly guarding this completely emotionless life, in fact, there is also pity.
Besides, Ximenqing's appearance and identity, if in reality, a proper successful person, let alone attract Pan Jinlian, it is estimated that a lot of beauties will break their heads and take the initiative to send them to compete.
Ling Yun thought about it, and his prejudice against Pan Jinlian was a little less in his heart.
In addition, Pan Jinlian's actions just now really saved his life, and I have a special gratitude to Pan Jinlian.
So he gently patted Pan Jinlian on the back and comforted her and said:
"It's my heart that's too messy, it's none of your business."
Pan Jinlian raised her head, looked at Ling Yun with tears on her face, and said:
"Are the officials afraid that after Wu Song returns, Xingshi will ask for guilt? Then hand over the slave family to Wu Song to deal with, and all the sins will be borne by the slave family alone. ”
When Ling Yun heard this, how could this Pan Jinlian look like she had become a woman who was affectionate and righteous, and dared to love and hate?
Think about it in such an old society, in order to pursue your own happiness, you can't divorce, you can't cheat, and there is really no other way.
Ling Yun comforted Pan Jinlian while beginning to think about it in his mind.
Time, yes, there's still time!
Ling Yun thought of the timing of the plot, and there should still be a chance.
What can be used now is his identity here, and if he arranges it well, he may not be able to turn things around.
So he stood up with great vigor and said to Pan Jinlian:
"Now that it's come to this, don't make a noise about it, everything is with me."
Pan Jinlian watched the big officials return to a clear state, and suddenly her confidence doubled, and she felt that she had a backbone again.
Wiped away her tears and whispered:
"Everything is up to the officials."
Before the words fell, only the sound of clicking downstairs was heard, and Wang Po's face came out of the staircase.
Seeing the two of them and Wu Dalang, who was lying on the bed and was dead, Wang Po put on a smile and said:
"Congratulations to the officials, congratulations to the officials, you finally got what you wanted!"
Ling Yun didn't bother to be angry with her now, and said to Wang Po:
"You are most familiar with the neighborhood here, there are many people who saw me break through the window today, and you called all the people to my house after half an hour, and I have something to explain."
Then he turned his head and said to Pan Jinlian:
"Now as if Wuda died of a distressed attack, you can do whatever you have to do as a surviving person, I have to arrange other things."
Then he comforted him again, then turned and went downstairs.
Ling Yun returned to Ximenqing's house by the same route, and saw that the maid was still guarding the door alone, so he said to the maid:
"Go and call the butler."
The maid replied and walked quickly to the backyard.
Ling Yun moved a stool, sat in the middle of the courtyard, and began to plan the follow-up.
After a while, the maid led a middle-aged man with a goatee to Ximenqing.
"The butler has arrived."
The maid reported and stood timidly behind Ling Yun.
The butler saluted Ling Yun and asked:
"I don't know what the big officials are looking for me?"
Ling Yun didn't bother to beat around the bush and asked:
"How much cash do we have in our house now?"
The butler stroked his goatee and replied:
"There should be 100,000 taels of silver."
Lingyun heard it, 100,000 taels!
In the Song Dynasty, a tael of silver was equivalent to about 1,500 yuan in reality. 100,000 taels is counted, this is just cash silver, this Ximenqing is a billionaire, no wonder he can be rampant and domineering in Yanggu County, and no one dares to provoke him.
"Go, and have someone bring me all the money into the courtyard!"
"Huh?"
The housekeeper looked incredulous, and he didn't understand what was wrong with the big officials today.
I just wanted to ask carefully, but when I saw that Ling Yun's face was not good, I immediately shouted, someone!
I saw more than a dozen people wearing martial arts clothes running out of the backyard, it seemed that they should be practicing in the backyard, and they were all thugs that Ximen Qing usually raised.
The housekeeper hurriedly led more than a dozen people to the side courtyard on the right.
After a while, Wang Po led a large group of people outside the gate.
Wang Po asked everyone who followed behind to stand still in front of Ling Yun, and walked over and stood behind Ling Yun.
At this time, the housekeeper also brought a dozen martial arts thugs to the courtyard carrying ten sandalwood boxes, and put the boxes in front of everyone according to Ling Yun's instructions.
Everyone is wondering in their hearts, wondering which one of the big officials are playing today?
Ling Yun coughed and motioned to open the box.
Ten wooden boxes were opened at the same time, and everyone's eyes were straightened.
The boxes were neatly stacked with silver full of white flowers, shining.
Everyone had never seen such an exciting sight, and they were all dazzled by the white silver, and their mouths opened wide, and they were dumbfounded, and their eyes almost fell to the ground.
Everyone's expressions and movements were in full view, and I thought that the visual impact of this move looked pretty good!
He coughed loudly, and the warriors closed the box again.
Only then did everyone come to their senses and swallow their saliva.
"Do you know what I called Wang Ganniang to do today?"
Ling Yun put on a swaggering expression again, staring at everyone's eyes and scanning the circle.
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't understand, and seemed to be afraid of Ling Yun's gaze, so they lowered their heads.
"What happened today, everything you see and hear, from now on, all of them will be stopped in my stomach and not allowed to be mentioned again."
Ling Yun said softly.
"If it is done, after 50 days, everyone will be able to come to my house and receive money."
After Ling Yun finished speaking, he looked at everyone's expressions of interest, and knew that the truth that money can make ghosts grind is indeed applicable everywhere.
"I am very generous to the officials, and after the deed is completed, 50 taels of silver per person!"
50 taels of silver, in this dynasty, is enough for an ordinary family to spend three or five years!
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all let out the light of greed.
"But I'm also talking badly."
Ling Yun deliberately lengthened his voice and raised the volume:
"If you let me know that some of you don't have a tight mouth and reveal the slightest rumor, I don't think you know what the consequences will be!"
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen martial artists took a step forward very cooperatively, and a murderous aura directly rushed towards the people standing in the courtyard.
The neighbors who came with Wang Po were suddenly swept away by murderous aura, and all of them collapsed to the ground with weak legs.
Ling Yun also felt the weight of the murderous aura of these martial artists!
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but light up in my eyes, it seems that the combat effectiveness of the martial artist that Ximen Qing usually raises is not weak.
Ling Yun suddenly felt more confident in dealing with Wu Song.
