Chapter five hundred and fifty first follow the vine
As soon as the money came out, a bright light flashed in Ling Yun's eyes.
It happened to be a time when I was short of money, so I had to lament that although Feng Hexu's ability was not very good, his human nature and sophistication were spot on.
Ling Yun pretended to be angry and shouted loudly, "Feng... Master Feng, what are you doing? Do you know that this is equivalent to bribery? As an official of the imperial court, don't you know what a crime it is to bribe an official of the imperial court?
Besides, do you think I am such a person? Hurry up and put away the banknotes and take your son back, don’t do this again!"
"Yes, yes... Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I'll put it away now. I'll put it away now..."
Having said that, Feng Hexu finally got his wish and took his son away, but after collecting the two hundred thousand he brought, not a cent was left behind.
…
"Two hundred thousand, five hundred thousand, one million...this is a total of 1.2 million. As expected, to make money, you still have to make money from rich people. It takes no effort at all."
Ling Yun kept humming a song while holding a large amount of banknotes in his hand, about one million in total, smiling brightly and feeling particularly happy.
These money are all banknotes sent by the families of the criminal princes, which is called atonement.
Ling Yun accepted the offer as soon as he saw it was good, took the money and asked them to take the person back directly.
He grabbed a handful of banknotes, shook them, and looked at Yang Sanniu, "Sanniu, do you think the money will come quickly?"
Yang Sanniu seemed a little depressed, pouting and nodding perfunctorily.
This answer made Ling Yun stunned.
"Sanniu, what's wrong with you?"
Yang Sanniu shook his head, "Master, Sanniu is fine."
Ling Yun frowned, it didn't look like anything was wrong!
He clearly looked worried.
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but wonder, how could Yang Sanniu be so unhappy despite everything being so good?
"Tell me! What's going on."
Ling Yun asked in a deep voice, with a tone that could not be refused, which made Yang Sanniu tremble in his heart and he couldn't help but feel ready to make a move.
"Young...Master."
"Um!"
Ling Yun stared at him, waiting for the follow-up.
Yang Sanniu glanced at him cautiously, then hesitated for a while, and then said frankly, "Young... Young Master, this money is not good for you."
"Well, how do you say this?"
"Young Master, those young masters are all bad people. They definitely bully the common people. Now that you have collected the money and released them, they will definitely continue to do evil in the future. It is better not to give up the money and beat them all fifty times."
Daban, and then he was taken to prison and imprisoned for three years."
Yang Sanniu was so excited that he couldn't help but talk a lot about the situation of those young masters. In his heart, he didn't want the money in Ling Yun's hands, but wanted to put all those people in jail, even Yang Zhengde.
No exception.
Ling Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Sanniu, do you think the young master is a greedy person?"
Yang Sanniu shook his head vigorously.
As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way.
It is precisely because Ling Yun is not a money-loving person that this makes Yang Sanniu feel depressed and puzzled.
Ling Yun smiled slightly and explained patiently, "Sanniu, it's not that the young master loves money or insists on having the money in his hands, but that even if the young master doesn't want the money, he probably can't do anything to those young masters."
Yang Sanniu frowned and tilted his head, very puzzled.
"How...how could this happen? Master, aren't you the biggest official in Nanyi Prefecture? As long as you give an order, don't everyone below have to obey you?"
Ling Yun shook his head and said helplessly, "Sanniu, on the surface the young master is indeed the largest official in Nanyi Prefecture, but in fact he is not."
"Ah? This...why is this?"
"Sanniu, have you ever heard of the saying that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake? This is the situation we are in now."
"Master, is there any dragon that can't defeat a snake? Sanniu once heard the old man in the village say that this dragon is auspicious, and it will bring good luck when you see it, and the snake is an obscene thing, as long as you hit it
Seven inches, one blow can kill you!"
Ling Yun: “…”
"Master, isn't what Sanniu said right?"
"Yeah! There is a certain truth to it, but the young master hasn't found the local snake's seven inches yet, so he can still show his enemy weakly in front of them. When we catch the evidence of their crime, it will be equivalent to finding their seven inches.
This way we can catch them all in one fell swoop, but now is not the time."
Ling Yun was concise and eloquent, trying to explain why he did not bring those young men to justice, but Yang Sanniu listened in a daze and had only a half-understanding.
"Master, Sanniu doesn't understand."
Ling Yun smiled faintly and said earnestly, "It's okay, you will understand in the future, like those people who run rampant in the fish and meat village, Master, I will bring them to justice sooner or later."
"Well! Sanniu believes that the young master can definitely catch all those bad guys so that they can no longer harm the people..."
From this point of view, Yang Sanniu hated the bad guys who brought harm to the village. All of this may be related to his previous experiences.
There was movement outside the door. Yang Sanniu opened the door and took a look and found that Guo Yixiu was back.
"Master, that boy Guo Yixiu is back."
"Oh? You're back just in time. Call him in quickly. The young master just needs him to do something."
Since meeting Yang Zhengde that day, Ling Yun has new ideas about investigating Yang Buwei.
"Master Yun."
"Yi Xiu is back, sit down quickly."
Guo Yixiu didn't see anyone else, he sat down directly, took a sip of tea in a hurry, and continued, "Master Yun, I went to the inn and found Nangong Zheng... Nangong Zheng and the others were about to leave, so he quickly stopped them, and then handed over Master Yun's letter
Passed it to Nangong Zheng, and after reading it, he stayed in the inn again."
Ling Yun's eyes lit up, he thought for a moment, and asked, "According to you, Brother Nan only agreed to stay after reading my letter?"
Guo Yixiu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yeah~ That's right! Master Yun, I don't know what you wrote in the letter. Why did Nangong Zheng not plan to leave after reading it?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Sanniu also raised his head and came over, wanting to know what Ling Yun said to Nangong Zheng in the letter.
But Ling Yun pretended to be mysterious and smiled, saying carelessly, "Haha... we can't talk about this now, you will know it in the future."
Hearing this, both of them were stunned, with expressions of disappointment on their faces.
Seeing that the two of them were in low spirits, Ling Yun said again, "By the way, Yi Xiu, it's just a good time for you to come back. I have something I want you to do."
Guo Yixiu immediately sat upright and said with a serious face, "Young Master Yun has something to do, please give me your instructions!"
"Let's stop investigating Yang Buwei for now and turn your focus to Yang Buwei's son. I think there will be surprises that we didn't expect!"
"Master Yun, what do you mean?"
"Yes! Yang Buwei has been an official for many years. He is not only cautious but also thoughtful. Finding evidence of his crime from him is as difficult as climbing to the sky. But his son is different. Yang Zhengde is young and energetic.
Sheng is not only impetuous, but also domineering. He must have traces of crime himself. As long as traces of crime are found from him, there must be traces of Yang Buwei behind him. When the time comes, we will definitely find clues about Yang Buwei's crime.
