Jiang Qianchi looked at Lin Dong warily, but felt a little resentful in his heart. When he came, the person who placed the spiritual power on him made it clear that unless he was a top expert, it would be impossible to detect the spiritual power placed on him.
But it is obvious that the shopkeeper Lin in front of him is too old to have the strength of a peak powerhouse.
The dignified and majestic emperor's bodyguard actually sometimes spoke big words.
Jiang Qianchi felt that the only thing he could do now was to delay as much time as possible so that Lin Dong would not notice his intention. Then send the news out and let Emperor Qianwei decide the next move.
"I know that you are Jiang Qianchi, the prefect of Lihuang Prefecture, and that you were sent by Emperor Qianwei to die. I also know that Emperor Qianwei has evidence of your corruption and perversion of the law, so you have no choice but to come here to die." Lin Dong said calmly.
Jiang Qianchi was stunned and already confused.
"No, no, you" Liu Fang suddenly frowned and looked at Lin Dong: "You are not the master's people?"
"By the way, Liu Fang, why did you come to the capital?" Jiang Qianchi suddenly felt something was wrong and exclaimed.
"This is the capital?" Liu Fang said in shock: "Didn't the master send someone to inform us that the court has noticed that you are corrupt and perverting the law, and asked us to find a place to hide first?"
"Avoid it?" Jiang Qianchi trembled and said, "You mean, everyone came with you?"
Liu Fang nodded with a pale face, looking at Lin Dong as if looking at some demon. This is actually the capital city. Logically speaking, it would take more than half a year to get from Lihuang Mansion to the capital. Even if we work hard, it would still take several months. But she clearly remembered that when she came, she just took a carriage, and then she stayed in a yard and didn't dare to go out.
She always thought she was in the countryside, but when she was taken out of the yard, she realized that she was still in the city. That's all in the city, but suddenly and inexplicably arrived in the capital.
Such a weird thing, if Liu Fang hadn't suspected that Jiang Qianchi was suffering from madness and didn't know that he had returned to Lihuang Mansion, it would have scared her into fainting.
"You, what do you want to do?" Jiang Qianchi looked at Lin Dong with despair, feeling as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling.
"I know Emperor Qianwei's every move, and I also know his detailed plan to deal with me, and I can also pick up your family from the guards he sent to Lihuang Mansion, and guarantee that Emperor Qianwei will be there in a short time I can't believe that the guards of Lihuang Mansion have already been controlled by me." Lin Dong smiled and said, "What do you think I want to do?"
"You want to make a plan?" Jiang Qianchi exclaimed.
Lin Dong slowly shook his head: "These things have nothing to do with you. As long as you know, your whole family is in my hands."
"It's useless. The power of God is unpredictable. Not everyone can resist it. Even in the ends of the world, even in the imperial land, you will die wherever you escape." Jiang Qianchi shook his head with a pale face: "They are in your hands. It is doomed to have no chance of life anymore.¡±
"That's not necessarily the case. There are many places in the Han Dynasty that are not under the jurisdiction and interference of the imperial court." Ma Chun said with a smile.
"You mean, sect?" Jiang Qianchi's eyes suddenly burst out with burning eyes. He suddenly realized that not only his family could be saved, but he might also survive.
"Yes, the premise is that only those who have not violated the laws of the Han Dynasty can do it." Lin Dong nodded.
Jiang Qianchi's face darkened. Although these words increased his credibility, they also cut off his chance of survival.
"How about it? Cooperate with me!" Lin Dong said calmly: "The conditions are the same as those of Emperor Qianwei. I guarantee that your family will be safe."
Jiang Qianchi smiled bitterly: "Do I have the right to refuse?"
"It saves trouble to chat with smart people!" Lin Dong gave Jiang Qianchi a thumbs up.
"What do you want me to do?" Jiang Qianchi asked.
"It's very simple. If Emperor Qianwei has any new plans for you, you can find a way to reveal it to me. Remember, don't make it too obvious. Emperor Qianwei will send strong men to pay attention to your every move at any time. You just need to give Manager Ma a hint. , I will look for you when the strong man is practicing. After getting the plan, I will arrange to delay it, and you just need to find a way to cooperate." Lin Dong explained.
"Okay!" Jiang Qianchi nodded heavily and asked, "How can you guarantee that you will keep your promise, or prove that you do have contacts with the sect and that the sect is willing to take in my family members?"
"This is not difficult!"
Lin Dong took out a stack of banknotes from the mobile counter and handed it to Jiang Qianchi.
Jiang Qianchi took the bank note inexplicably, looked up at Lin Dong, and waited for his next words.
"Experiment one"?! Lin Dong signaled.
Jiang Qianchi lowered his head and looked down, turning over one by one. There were hundreds of them in total, all with denominations of ten thousand taels. In other words, this stack of banknotes is worth almost one million taels of silver.
" One million taels of silver notes, if it were normal, Jiang Qianchi would definitely be ecstatic. With the energy of his parents and officials, it is not difficult to make a million taels, but it will take him at least one term to do it. After so many years as an official, he only earned a total of three million taels of silver.
Now, Jiang Qianchi was naturally not in such a mood. No matter how much money you have, you must have the life to spend it. If he didn't want to see the Jiang family wiped out, he found a piece of white silk and hanged himself. Just thinking about having his head snapped off with a big guillotine made his hair stand on end, so he might as well end the pain on his own.
"How is it?" Lin Dong asked.
"About a million taels of silver, all real." Jiang Qianchi replied.
Lin Dong asked for the banknote back, then took out a fire fold and let the flames touch the banknote.
The corners of the thick stack of banknotes instantly burned.
Jiang Qianchi and Liu Fang stopped talking, feeling a little distressed in their hearts. This is a million taels of silver notes, just burned like this, it is really a bit of a waste of money. Even Jiang Qianchi, who knew that his life was in danger and that no amount of money could be used, couldn't help feeling this way.
Putting the burning banknotes into the wooden basin that Ma Chun found, Lin Dong waited quietly for the banknotes to slowly burn out.
"Shopkeeper Lin, what are you" Jiang Qianchi couldn't understand Lin Dong's actions.
Lin Dong said nothing, and quietly looked at the burning banknotes in the wooden basin. He felt sad that a million taels of banknotes were burned like this, but this capital must be paid.
Soon, the stack of banknotes turned into ashes. Lin Dong then looked up at Jiang Qianchi and asked, "Does this prove that I will keep my promise?"
Jiang Qianchi was startled, and then he woke up from a dream and understood why Lin Dong burned the banknotes.
A million taels of silver notes can be burned. If there is no grievance or enmity, naturally he will not deliberately create difficulties.
The people in the sect are not immortals. When money is needed, these million taels of silver notes can be enough to bribe a small sect to help take in a few people who have not violated the king's laws.
Although the credibility of burning a million taels of silver notes is not higher than seeing the family members living in the sect with your own eyes, it is much more credible than proving that shopkeeper Lin has a relationship with the sect.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper Lin, Jiang will do his best to cooperate." Jiang Qianchi said, cupping his hands towards Lin Dong.
Lin Dong nodded. If Jiang Qianchi was forced to do so, Jiang Qianchi would definitely try his luck and compromise with him. However, it could be proven that he would indeed help him settle his family. Jiang Qianchi's cooperation would make it even better. Work hard.
Lin Ji Inn is now colliding with Tianwei Pavilion. Although it will not be a total defeat, it will still suffer heavy losses. If they can delay it for a day, Lin Ji Inn will have hundreds of guards who can advance to one level. If they fight, the losses will be smaller. One million taels of silver notes can be exchanged for Jiang Qianchi to be more diligent, and maybe it can be used to delay things for a while. Its value is definitely not comparable to that of one million taels of silver notes.
¡°In that case, we¡¯ll say goodbye!¡±
Lin Dong cupped his hands and said politely.
"Shopkeeper Lin, go slowly!" Jiang Qianchi quickly returned the greeting.
On the side, Ma Chun looked at Liu Fang and said slowly: "Sixth Madam, you are tired. Please come back with me."
"Master" Liu Fang looked at Jiang Qianchi eagerly, hoping that he would say something to persuade him to stay. She felt insecure with her life in the hands of others. Little did she know that by following Jiang Qianchi, she would not have any protection.
"Take good care of Xiaoshan!" Jiang Qianchi suddenly turned around, his body trembling slightly.
"If I had known today, why bother?"
Ma Chun snorted. Jiang Qianchi's actions, instead of arousing his sympathy, reminded him that Jiang Qianchi was a corrupt official.
"Let's go out from the backyard." Lin Dong ordered.
Ma Chun nodded, reached out and grabbed Liu Fang's wrist without any sympathy and pulled her out of the room.
All the way out of the accommodation building, Ma Chun grabbed Liu Fang and suddenly jumped up.
Lin Dong returned to the room. When he returned to the room and lay down on the rocking chair, he took out an ancient book and turned the pages. The strong man who replaced the swordsman Lin Ji's every move at the inn was dressed as a merchant and led a fleet of vehicles slowly in Stop at Lin Kee Inn.
That evening, Emperor Qianwei rode the Spirit Bird to Linji Inn. After learning that Jiang Qianchi failed to commit suicide, he immediately came up with a new plan.
The content of this plan is not complicated. Jiang Qianchi masked himself at night and secretly went to Lin Dong's room to steal. After being discovered by Lin Dong, instead of retreating, he took out a knife and robbed him.
According to Emperor Qianwei¡¯s prediction, by then, Lin DongDetermined to take action. Whether it's grabbing the knife or blowing Jiang Qianchi away with one palm, as long as Jiang Qianchi has good spiritual power around him, he won't die in Lin Dong's hands.
The next night, after preparing his black clothes, Jiang Qianchi took action. But as a result, Lin Dong's room was completely surrounded by a spiritual formation, and it was impossible to enter either the door or the window.
On the fifth day, Jiang Qianchi took action again, and the plan was a little more complicated. First, a middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy man opened a table next to Jiang Qianchi on the second floor of the lobby, and then asked to see Lin Dong by name, saying that he had important matters to discuss.
After Lin Dong appeared, the middle-aged man took out a spiritual bird that screamed very loudly but was only the size of a palm. He lied that the lucky bird could bring blessings and wanted to sell it to Lin Dong. Jiang Qianchi felt that the scream was too loud and taunted him. The two had a quarrel and conflict. The middle-aged man pushed Jiang Qianchi into his body, but Jiang Qianchi's back was covered with spiritual power and he would die at the first touch.
As a result, Emperor Qianwei miscalculated again. There were no accidents in the process, but the result was that after the two had a quarrel, Lin Dong came forward to stop it on the grounds of affecting the inn business. With good luck, Jiang Qianchi didn't touch Jiang Qianchi's back from beginning to end.
