Volume 1 Chapter 22 The Plan Begins
The two entered the back hall and immediately bowed their hands.
"I don't know what instructions the two of you have this time?"
"Before noon tomorrow, I want the whereabouts of the Zhou and Feng families."
"I'll make arrangements and meet here tomorrow by noon."
"I'm tired."
It turns out that the shopkeeper of this teahouse is the internal response of Erlongshan in Luzhou City.
Before Lin Zhan left, Xiang Zilong specially instructed some codes and code words.
The teacup is two and three, two represents Erlong Mountain, and the next three represents the next mountain, and it is coherent that the people of Erlong Mountain have taken action when they go down the mountain.
As for words like thirst and golden jasmine tea, it's just black words set by Erlongshan himself.
It wasn't until the moment that Lin Zhan left for the Luzhou Mansion.
This hour is the time when people are the most relaxed, and Lin Zhan slipped into the mansion with one jump.
He was naturally unfamiliar with the location, but thanks to Lu Heng's reminder, who had followed Cao Chong in and out of the mansion all the year round, he was able to find the bedroom of Hong Tianxiang, the prefect of Luzhou, in the shortest possible time.
At this time, the candle in the room was extinguished, and there was no guard outside the door, Lin Zhan pushed the door in, and walked to Hong Tianxiang's bedside with a knife.
The scene in front of him made him completely dumbfounded.
On the huge bed, in addition to Hong Tianxiang, a dog official in his fifties, there were more than a dozen women sleeping horizontally, and there were even two little girls who were only fourteen or fifteen years old.
The blade was against Hong Tianxiang's neck, seeing that he woke up from his sleep and stared at his eyes, Lin Zhan said in a deep voice: "Dare to speak out, I will pierce your neck with a knife!" ”
Hong Tianxiang was so frightened that tears almost burst out, so he had to nod again and again.
Lin Zhan grabbed him by the neck and dragged him to the table to light the candle, and the women on the bed vaguely opened their sleepy eyes, and they were suddenly frightened.
"Whoever dares to scream, I will splash his blood on his face!"
Lin Zhan tore Hong Tianxiang's scalp without the slightest mercilessness: "Hong Tianxiang, I will spare your life today, but you have to do what I say, understand?" ”
Just as Lin Zhan was speaking, the two women on the bed rushed towards the door, shouting incessantly: "Catch the assassin!" Someone! Catch the assassins! ”
With a wave of his right hand, Lin Zhan directly cut off the head of one of the women with a listening knife, and the blade of the knife was inserted into the door panel with a sonorous sound, causing the other woman who shouted to stagger directly to the ground and screamed: "Don't kill me!" Don't kill me! ”
The rest of the women on the bed were even more trembling, covering their mouths for fear that Lin Zhan would do something to them when they heard the cry.
Lin Zhan pinched Hong Tianxiang's neck tighter and tighter: "Lord Hong, it seems that your woman can't care about your life or death?" ”
Hong Tianxiang's face began to turn purple gradually, and he gritted his teeth and asked word by word, "Who are you?!" If I, Hong, have offended Your Excellency before, I might as well remind me to die and understand! ”
As soon as the words fell, more than 20 catchers broke in outside the door and directly pulled out their knives.
The woman who was still lying on the ground just now and begging hoarsely not to kill her, but at this time she straightened her waist tremblingly: "Bold thief, don't let go of my master!" ”
"Hong Tianxiang, you colluded with Zhao Shi to kill Cao Chong's cronies, and joined forces with the rich merchants in the city to oppress the people!"
When Lin Zhan counted his crimes, he didn't forget to glance at the more than ten women on the bed: "Have you ever thought that there will be retribution today?!" ”
Hong Tianxiang's expression changed obviously when he heard Cao Chong's words, and his lips turned pale: "You...... Are you Cao Chong's cronies?! ”
The woman standing in the crowd scolded the fast-catchers around her: "You are all one by one, which one is not the one who eats the old man and wears the old man!" It's all useless at this point! Come on! ”
The arrest of these government officials was quickly provoked by the woman, and they were immediately ready to move.
"He has a broken knife in his hand, what are you afraid of!"
"He's alone, let's go together!"
Seeing that this group of catchers was about to cull over, Lin Zhan took out the token from his arms and shouted: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, I am the new Luzhou Knife Catching Captain!" ”
"You stinky brat who has not dried up, you dare to pretend to be ......"
The woman's face was disdainful, but she didn't expect that before she finished speaking, she only saw a cold knife light, and then she could only feel a sharp pain in her throat, and then the bubbling blood splattered her lifeless in an instant.
In the eyes of everyone present, Lin Zhan, who was holding a wind listening knife, was simply a killing god standing there.
"This is the letter of appointment."
Lin Zhan took out the letter that Lu Heng handed him to take over as the captain of the Luzhou knife catching school, and the words were like cotton needles in Hong Tianxiang's eyes, piercing his spine inch by inch.
Until he saw the red seal of the inscription, Hong Tianxiang knelt directly on the ground: "Xiaguan Hong Tianxiang, see Lord Captain!" ”
All the people present saw that the prefect had already knelt on the ground, where did they dare to question Lin Zhan's identity, and they kowtowed: "See Lord Captain!" ”
The bodies of the two women on the ground, coupled with the identity of the executioner of the knife captain, made the bodies of the women on the bed tremble and dare not squeak.
"From now on, no one is allowed to leave the government office, and obey my orders!"
Lin Zhan said coldly, and deliberately knocked the wind listening knife in his hand on the shoulders of those who caught fast, and warned: "I know that there are Zhao Shicheng's people among you, but now that I have taken over the position of Luzhou Knife Catching Captain, I would like to remind you, don't choose the wrong one." ”
"Yes!"
"Only Lord Captain is looking ahead!"
Zhao Shicheng has a deep foundation in Luzhou City, not to mention that in the past, he must have had money with these fast catchers, and he came out of thin air, asking for people and no one asking for money and no money, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.
Lin Zhan knew this very well, so he took out Lao Gan's token: "The captain of Suzhou has brought people into the city, and this time I came to help me regain the power of Luzhou!" ”
In this way, even if these catchers are fast or Hong Tianxiang, a dog official, has close contacts with Zhao Shicheng on weekdays, now that Lin Zhan has the help of the Suzhou knife catching captain, Zhao Shicheng will definitely be like an ant in the palm of his hand.
In order not to cause any extraneous branches, Lin Zhan ordered the catcher to clean up the room quickly, and the women on the bed were directly imprisoned.
All the arresters directly blocked the exits of the government, and Lin Zhan and Hong Tianxiang sat in the front hall and conspired.
"The wealthy merchants in Luzhou City are headed by the Zhou and Feng families, and I will find a way to kidnap the wives of the two families tomorrow."
"What do you need me to do?"
"At that time, Zhou and Feng will inevitably come to the mansion to report the case, you only need to hide the two ladies in the mansion."
"After the Zhou and Feng families report the case, I will inevitably send my subordinates to search in the city, and if they can't find it, they will definitely ask Zhao Shicheng for help, forgive the official for being timid, if Zhao Shicheng comes to the government to search, the official will ...... The lower officials didn't dare to stop ......"
"You can rest assured, I will leave a note to make them think that Erlongshan did it, in order to demand a ransom."
"But my lord, if that group of people really went to Erlong Mountain with the ransom, wouldn't everything be exposed?"
"Erlongshan, it's my people."
