Chapter 417: Someone Came Outside
Li Mingyang laughed when he heard Zhang Cai's words, as if there were always people who liked to talk to him like this recently, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart Could it be that there is no one in the second ancestor of this world who has a little brain. This Zhang Cai must be a junior in a big family, of course, the so-called big family is just in the eyes of ordinary people, as long as it is in Tianren County, except for Long Tingjun, there is no family that can be called a big family in front of Li Mingyang.
Seeing such a son-in-law brother as Zhang Cai, Li Mingyang didn't bother to bother with him, and even didn't care about the aggressive Zhang Cai, he just turned his head to look at Huang Cheng and asked, "How many spirit stones do you owe to others, why don't you pay them back?"
Huang Cheng didn't know where Li Mingyang was at all, but after seeing Li Mingyang's eyes, he suddenly trembled in his heart and stammered: "I came to Mingyuan City a month ago and wanted to find an opportunity to do some business. I was going to rent a shop here, but there were not enough spirit stones, so I was in a hurry to grab the shop, so I asked a friend to borrow 500 high-grade spirit stones from Zhang Gongzi. β
"Oh, it's just five hundred high-grade spirit stones, why don't you return it?" Li Mingyang asked subconsciously, although Li Mingyang didn't know how to do business, he could think of it, presumably because of the special situation of Tianren County now, people with a little vision want to come here to seize some shops in prime positions, thinking that this Huang Cheng is also a ruthless person, it is estimated that he is really reluctant to miss this opportunity because he sees the shop, even if he borrows the spirit stone.
However, his subconscious words made everyone present stunned for a while. Five hundred high-grade spirit stones seemed to be just a small number in his mouth, you must know that this is fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones, Huang Cheng couldn't react for a while, Li Mingyang asked again before he said: "I just borrowed five hundred high-grade spirit stones, and on the seventh day after borrowing, someone from my family came to send the spirit stones, but Zhang Gongzi accepted five hundred high-grade spirit stones but asked me for interest." I've only borrowed it for seven days, and he wants me to ask for another 500 high-grade spirit stones, how can I still have so many spirit stones to repay, but he collects debts every day, and now the shop is also robbed back by him, and he still wants me to pay back the interest, I can't even go back home now, and their people won't let me go out of Mingyuan City at all. β
Li Mingyang knew what was going on after listening to it, he was also a person who climbed out of the bottom, so he naturally knew what usury was, but when he heard this, Li Mingyang had to sigh that Zhang Cai's usury was too much. Thinking of this, Li Mingyang said to Huang Cheng: "Tianren County is stable and welcomes friends from all over the world to come here to do business, and this kind of thing will not happen again." β
Then Li Mingyang naturally said to Zhang Cai: "Return the shop to others, don't do this kind of thing in the future, Mingyuan City needs to develop, you like to make trouble outside the city is your ability, if you want to mix in the city, give me honesty." β
Seeing Li Mingyang talking to Zhang Cai so aggressively, Huang Cheng's eyes seemed to be protruding, he subconsciously thought that Li Mingyang might also be a child of the clan, and when he thought of the fine armor on his body, Cheng DΓΉ guessed that his cultivation might not be low, and it was estimated that he would not take Zhang Cai, a boy who did not learn and did not know how to do it, but thinking of the situation in Tianren County, Huang Cheng still smiled bitterly and said to Li Mingyang: "Thank you this son, don't get involved in this matter." After all, this is the Celestial and Human County, and it is the territory of the Ghost King. β
Huang Cheng's words were not finished, but it was obvious that he had already revealed his thoughts, this is the territory of the Ghost King, Zhang Cai is the orthodox noble son of Tianren County no matter what, if he is beaten because of this kind of thing, this matter will definitely make a big fuss.
Hearing Huang Cheng's words, Li Mingyang suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay, it's because this is Tianren County that I can't allow this kind of person to run rampant." β
"Hahaha, did I hear it wrong, stinky boy, are you sure who are you talking to?" Zhang Cai laughed and pointed at Li Mingyang, although he also knew that his cultivation was not high, and the other party might be a master, but he deliberately asked his subordinates to get out of the way, pointed at Li Mingyang and said: "I want to see, I'm running rampant here, what can you do with me?"
Everyone looked at Li Mingyang curiously, after all, the people around him could see it clearly, who Zhang Cai was, and the people of Mingyuan City were also very clear, seeing that Li Mingyang just wanted to do a good deed but was questioned by Zhang Cai like this, some people began to cry out for Li Mingyang, and some people were secretly excited to see the excitement, but no matter who it was, they didn't dare to say anything.
Li Mingyang didn't hesitate at all, he stepped forward directly, grabbed Zhang Cai's head with his palm, and threw it on the ground. Li Mingyang didn't even use Yicheng's strength, but he had already made Zhang Cai make a burst of pig killing sounds.
Seeing this, Zhang Cai's subordinates were about to step forward, but suddenly they heard an angry shout not far away, and saw a group of monks walking towards this side.
Li Mingyang smiled and said, "It's really lively today." β
A group of monks hurriedly walked around the two middle-aged monks, and when they saw the two middle-aged monks walking in the center, everyone around them was shocked, the two were Viscount Song of Mingyuan City and the famous Earl of Deng Lin nearby.
As an earl, Deng Lin naturally knew the problems that Tianren County was facing now, and Mingyuan City, as the closest city to the stronghold, was naturally under tremendous pressure, in fact, the monks that Deng Lin could control had already been sent to the stronghold, and the troops he could control now were not even as good as this Viscount Zhang Song. But after all, his identity was there, and after the two appeared, Zhang Song always put Deng Lin in the center.
Deng Lin came to inspect the city defense of Mingyuan City this time, and when he was about to leave, he happened to see that there was turmoil here, so he came over to take a look, Zhang Songzheng was angry who was causing trouble at this time and slapped himself in the face, but after walking in, he saw that the young man screaming on the ground turned out to be his son, and he immediately became angry, and forgot that there was Count Deng Lin beside him and yelled directly: "Who injured my son!"
Deng Lin couldn't help frowning when he saw Zhang Song being so arrogant, but when he thought that it was his son who was beaten, he naturally understood in his heart, and it was inconvenient to put on the earl's frame to reprimand Zhang Song.
"I hit it. As soon as Zhang Song shouted out a sentence, Li Mingyang said coldly on the side.
Zhang Song saw that the "murderer" confessed so knowingly, sneered and directly ordered: "Take it down for me, take it back to the Viscount's Mansion, and I will try him well." β
Deng Lin was still laughing at Zhang Song's short-term character, but when he saw the "murderer", he was stunned, and even the smile on his face stiffened there. Zhang Song didn't realize Deng Lin's strange appearance, and he was indignant and called for someone to arrest Li Mingyang.
Li Mingyang casually knocked away a few blind guys, pointed to Zhang Cai on the ground and said: "Is Tianren County a place for you to come here, Mingyuan City is handed over to you to take care of it so that you can keep it stable, but as the son of a viscount, he actually put usury in the city?"
Zhang Song didn't expect that this kid in front of him would dare to tell him a big reason until now, and he was immediately angry, and he was about to do it himself, Zhang Cai was also scolding on the ground, if he hadn't been thrown too badly just now, he would now want to do it himself, with his own viscount daddy support, he didn't believe that he couldn't scrap a foreign kid.
As soon as Huang Cheng saw the Viscount and the Earl appearing together, he was already weak, and when he saw that the Viscount was going to deal with Li Mingyang himself, he was even more bitter, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and rushed up to help Li Mingyang block the Viscount.
But before Huang Cheng could move, when Zhang Song couldn't take a step, Deng Lin, who was stunned on the side, suddenly came to his senses, and immediately stepped forward and slapped Zhang Song in the face, and suddenly people saw a flash of blood, and people with good eyesight even saw that Zhang Song's cheeks had been deformed, and then he lay heavily on the ground, but this was not over, Deng Lin rushed up and beat Zhang Song like crazy.
Zhang Cai on the side finally got stupid, and no longer dared to say a word, and the others looked at Deng Lin with a dull expression, not knowing why the dignified earl suddenly beat a viscount in public, you must know that it was his subordinate, so he was not afraid of people being cold.
Li Mingyang was stunned for a moment, then he understood, and slowly stepped forward to grab Deng Lin. Deng Lin has been paying attention to Li Mingyang's movements, and after being pulled by Li Mingyang, he immediately turned around and knelt on the ground and said: "The prince atoned for his sins, but I didn't know people, and I used this pine by mistake, and it was my fault." β
"Wang ...... Hearing Deng Lin's words, everyone present was completely stunned, and Cheng DΓΉ didn't know how many times higher than the surprise Cheng DΓΉ who saw Deng Lin beating people before.
"Lord Wang, Deng Lin is the earl of Tianren County, isn't the prince in his mouth the rumored ghost king Li Mingyang?" Huang Cheng finally kept his mind clear, but after thinking about this, he still suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Mingyang didn't like this feeling of being noticed by others, and he didn't like someone kneeling down to worship him, so he probably added something to his voice, and he said coldly: "Stand up, stand up and talk." β
Then he looked at Deng Lin and said, "Do you know me?" After finishing speaking, he secretly scolded himself for talking nonsense, the person who can be an earl is naturally a monk who has made great contributions in the war, even if he has not really gotten along with himself, how can he not see himself when he is in the camp.
Deng Lin didn't dare to say that what Li Mingyang said was nonsense, and immediately explained: "I was originally a subordinate of Grand Duke Li Hong. β
Li Mingyang was finally relieved at this time, so it seems that this is the real person himself, although Li Hong only brought more than 10,000 people when he helped himself to fight, but that was all the net worth he could take away at that time, but when everyone in the world thought that he would be killed by the King of Shu, Li Hong led people to Jingshan Town to rescue people, just by virtue of this, Li Mingyang regarded Li Hong as a real friend. After conquering Tianren County, because of the outrageous size of his territory, Li Mingyang himself used the noble title of Duke that was not used by other county kings in the Central Plains.
Because in fact, the original county kings of the Central Plains were all dukes who were divided into feudal dukes, and finally gradually monopolized a county, and for the sake of prestige, they all called themselves county kings, but because their first generation of nobles were dukes, although they all called themselves county kings later, they were only marquis under the county king. Li Mingyang doesn't care about this, he is equivalent to sitting on the land of three counties, and it is not convenient if there is only a marquis, so he has a duke. But now there is only one duke in Tianren County, and Li Hong's descendants are very proud of this duke, so they like to call Li Hong the Grand Duke.
"Is this Zhang Cai also a subordinate of Brother Li Hong?" Li Mingyang has always done his own thing, and he only calls Li Hong his eldest brother at any time.
Deng Lin was moved when he heard that Li Mingyang still called the Grand Duke his eldest brother, but he immediately said respectfully: "This Zhang Cai is not a subordinate of the Grand Duke, but a former monk of Changyun County. β
Li Mingyang understood as soon as he heard it, it turned out that Zhang Song was not Li Hong's descendant, thinking of this, he said directly: "Tianren County is still surrounded by external enemies, and internal stability is the most important, this kind of person is not suitable to be in charge of one side again, you can just wait and report this matter to Brother Li Hong to deal with." β
Deng Lin nodded respectfully, originally waiting for Li Mingyang to reprimand him a few more words, but found that Li Mingyang had already gone to appease Huang Cheng. Seeing this, Deng Lin couldn't help but smile, it seemed that he was really frightened, the Ghost King would never pose in front of his subordinates.
This happened, and the people of the entire Mingyuan City knew that the Ghost King had come here in person, if it weren't for Deng Lin's immediate order, there might be a scene of thousands of empty alleys in Mingyuan City. After dealing with this qiΔ, Deng Lin finally found an opportunity to ask: "Lord Wang, are you here for those thieves?" Deng Lin also knew that there was no need to pretend to be stupid in front of Li Mingyang, it was best to say whatever he wanted.
Sure enough, Li Mingyang nodded directly and said, "I just wanted to see how the city defense here was, and then I took people out to suppress bandits." Seeing that Deng Lin suddenly felt weak for a while, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, we fought the world together in Xiliang County, don't think too much when you see me, no one can guarantee that your subordinates will be effective." Anyway, at least the city defense here is pretty good......"
Hearing Li Mingyang's words, Deng Lin's mood finally relaxed, you must know that Li Mingyang is easy-going, but after all, he is the overlord of Tianren County, as a monk who followed him to fight in the north and south, Deng Lin knew very well what a terrifying figure this young man with clear eyebrows was. At this time, he could still get praise from the ghost king, and Deng Lin said secretly: "I finally didn't embarrass the Grand Duke." β
Li Mingyang just wanted to praise Deng Lin a few words, but suddenly a sentry rushed in and said, "Big man, Lord Wang, someone has to come in to find you." β
Deng Lin just wanted to reprimand the sentry, but suddenly saw someone rushing in outside the door, Deng Lin subconsciously wanted to block in front of Li Mingyang, but after seeing the face of the comer, he immediately changed color and said: "Lord Yan." β
The person who came was Yan Kuo, although Yan Kuo didn't know Deng Lin, he still nodded to him politely, and then smiled directly at Li Mingyang and said, "Mingyang, someone is here." β
