Chapter 175 Yun Cheng is here
Chapter 175 Yun Cheng is here
"Master Lin, Su Xiao is here." The person who brought Hui Chengyuan here reported, patted him on the shoulder and left.
Hui Chengyuan lowered his head, frowning slightly, feeling that nothing good was going to happen.
Lin Jing walked out of the inner room, looked at Hui Chengyuan for a while, and then smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I asked you to come here because there is something very important that needs you to do."
"Once you've done it, you'll be my most capable confidant from now on, and I'll give you 10,000 taels of silver every year."
"Of course, if you fail, both you and your wife will disappear from this world."
After Lin Jing finished speaking, he drank his tea quietly, as if giving him time to think.
Hui Chengyuan looked up at him after a while, "I wonder what Master Lin wants me to do?"
"Go and help me kill a man. As long as you kill him, I will believe in your ability and promote you as my confidant." Lin Jing said as he picked up a painting from the table next to him.
When Hui Chengyuan saw the person in the painting, his eyelids slightly closed, "Where is he now?"
Lin Jing smiled, "He is in Haicheng."
Hui Chengyuan asked in confusion, "Why did Master Lin look for me?"
Lin Jing smiled and said, "Because I can see that although your martial arts skills are average, you have some internal strength, and you are a loyal and honest person. As long as you pass this test, you will be the second in command on this island."
Hui Chengyuan looked at the portrait and said, "Can I take the portrait away? I'm afraid I can't remember it."
"Sure." Lin Jing handed him the painting casually.
Hui Chengyuan took it with both hands, "Is it limited time?"
"Of course, within three days. If you exceed three days, you don't have to come back." Lin Jing said, then paused and said, "If you want to die with your wife, you can come back."
"Three days is enough." Hui Chengyuan said and left.
Lin Jing looked at his back and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He always felt that this person was not simple, but he couldn't find out anything, and that woman was really his wife.
Therefore, he thought that Su Xiao was most likely a man whose family had fallen on hard times, or a martial monk who had returned to secular life.
However, no matter who he is, as long as he can kill Yun Cheng, then he is still useful, and it doesn't matter if he helps him support a woman.
If he failed, that was the other princes' business and had nothing to do with him.
Hui Chengyuan returned to the courtyard with the portrait and immediately felt that there were more people around him.
Yuan Man had naturally returned a long time ago. Before Hui Chengyuan returned, those people came and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "What's wrong?"
Hui Chengyuan leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Lin Jing asked me to kill Yun Cheng."
Then he said in a normal voice: "Wife, I'm going to be out for three days. You have to take care of yourself at home."
Yuan Man’s eyes widened in surprise. Lin Jing was so fierce that he actually wanted to kill Yun Cheng.
"Husband, who are you going out with? Is it dangerous?"
Then he leaned close to Hui Chengyuan's ear and whispered, "Could Yun Cheng's mother have been picked up?"
Otherwise, why would he be so straightforward and kill his cousin, who is also a prince, just because he was afraid that the other party would find out what he had done?
Hui Chengyuan ruffled her hair and said, "You stay at home, I have to leave now."
Then he casually packed a few clothes and left the island.
As soon as he left, the people guarding the house also left.
After Yuan Man confirmed that most people had left, she thought that since A Xiao had left the island, she would go and get Lin Jing's evidence.
But Xiao didn't tell her where he was, and he forgot to ask just now.
Forget it, I’ll ask Ling Feng tomorrow.
The next day when she went to the kitchen, the lady who was washing vegetables pulled her aside to congratulate her, saying that Su Xiao was valued by Master Lin.
Yuanman really wanted to say, you are quite well-informed, but he endured her compliment.
The person who came to deliver the food today was not Yun Mo. I guess it was Axiao who went to see him last night.
For two consecutive days, the vegetable-washing lady's enthusiasm did not diminish.
After nightfall, just when Yuan Man was thinking about how to find Ling Feng, he came over and said, "Madam, Yun Cheng has arrived on the island."
Yuan Man looked at him in surprise, "You went to the island secretly?"
Ling Feng nodded, "He disguised himself as a soldier and got here. He is now in my team."
Yuan Man's eyes lit up, "That's easy, we should make good use of it."
"By the way, did Xiao leave you a letter telling you where Lin Jing's evidence is?"
Ling Feng nodded, "I will go get it tomorrow."
Yuan Man shook his head and said, "You keep an eye on Yun Cheng. Just tell me where he is and I will arrange for Yuan Eryun to take him."
Ling Feng didn't doubt it at all. He told her the location and discussed Yun Cheng's matter before he left.
After he left, Yuan Man immediately changed his clothes and rushed to the villa where Lin Jing lived.
When Yuan Man arrived, he found that there were quite a few secret guards around the villa, six in total. It seemed that Lin Jing was in the house.
He avoided the sight of the six secret guards and sneaked in.
In the bedroom, Lin Jing must be knocked unconscious first.
Yuan Man sneaked into the bedroom, walked into the inner room and saw the person lying on the bed. He quickly knocked the person unconscious, and then started searching the bedroom in a swagger.
The mechanism is near the bed.
Yuanman's eyes looked around the bed and finally stopped on the footrest.
Because she saw the wear marks on the floor in front of the footbed by the moonlight.
I pulled the footbed outwards, and with a click, a wooden board in front of the bed sank in.
Yuan Man immediately walked in and closed the mechanism to prevent Lin Jing from waking up suddenly.
I went down the stairs, and then a few more steps before I saw the lights.
Yuan Man looked around and made sure there was no one there before walking in.
After seeing the room full of boxes, he realized that Hui Chengyuan's guess was correct. Lin Jing was a cunning rabbit with three burrows, and there was one here.
When they opened the boxes, they were all filled with silver and gold.
There are so many silver mines and gold mines in Yun Country, so much cash and gold.
Thirty-two chests of silver, ten chests of gold, two chests of pearls, two chests of other jewels, one chest of account books, and a small box of letters.
The account book was a record of the things inside and did not record anything else. Lin Jing was very alert.
The letter was between him and Yun Cheng, and it should be something he kept to save his life.
As for the evidence of Lin Jing's own corruption, not a single one was left.
Yuanman collected all the boxes and looked carefully to make sure that nothing was left before leaving.
After leaving the dark room, Yuan Man saw that Lin Jing was not awake yet, so he searched the bedroom again and found a very secret compartment on the bed, which contained three seals and a booklet.
Yuanman took them all without even looking at them.
After confirming that there was nothing to search in the bedroom, he left the bedroom and went to the study to avoid people.
She found that there were two people guarding outside the study.
She definitely couldn't get in from the front, and if she didn't go in, she would feel like her trip was in vain (did she feed the silver in the dark room to the dogs?).
So Yuanman went to the backyard and wanted to enter through the back window.
But the rear window was sealed tightly and there was no possibility of opening it.
