Chapter 7 This year's assassins are not good enough
Wang Xiao looked at the terrified Miaojiang people with a smile, "Do you know what Lord Lin is? He is the salt inspector, and the salt administration of most countries is under his control. I didn't know you were secretly attacking, but now I know. Do you believe that Lord Lin ordered all the salt sold to Miaojiang? No need to be too much, it's enough to seal it for the first half of the year."
It's indeed half a year enough.
Even though there were still stocks in Miaojiang before, there were many people there. Sichuan salt transported in for so long, so there was not much left in this kind of supplies that needed to be eaten every day.
Once the salt road is blocked, even if you can transport some high-priced private salt in it, it will be a drop in the bucket. After half a year, the scene there is simply unimaginable.
He Meng moved the corner of his mouth, thinking that Lord Lin does not have this ability. Miaojiang is too far away, and the salt administration there is not his control. And even if he can really manage it, he would not dare to seal it, because it would stir up the civil unrest in Miaojiang. In that case, it would not be something that a single head could withstand, and he had to use the head of the entire clan.
Fortunately, he was not stupid either, so he didn't say this.
Wang Xiao was just fooling him. He believed that the Miaojiang people who were in a place of information scarcity all year round did not understand the twists and turns in this way. He directly destroyed his mental defenses in this way.
These days, there are no mobile phones or wireless networks, and the level of receiving information and knowledge is very low. This is especially true in the remote southern Xinjiang.
Wang Xiao's deception was successful, and the Miao people quickly collapsed in the face of such a threat that endangered the entire clan, and ultimately they were not allowed to agree to rescue the poison on Lin Ruhai's body.
According to the prescription provided by the Miaojiang people, they boiled it and drank it. Not long after, Lin Ruhai started vomiting constantly. There were many small insects that could be seen in the naked eye squirming in the spitting, and the scene was very scary.
As long as you drink it for a month, you will basically be cured.
Wang Xiao relaxed. As for how to deal with Jiang Chun later, it was not something he had to care about. The mission he came here this time was almost completed. He planned to spend the next time on Lin Meimei's favorability to see if he could get a world anchor at the end of the mission.
Lin Ruhai's condition gradually improved, and the happiest person was Lin Daiyu.
She didn't know the real reason, so she regarded it as God's pity for her. That day, she took Wang Xiao to Tianning Temple outside the city to burn incense and fulfill her wishes, thanking the heavens for giving her father a way out.
Of course, Wang Xiao would not refuse, and regarded it as a sightseeing.
The incense in Tianning Temple is in full swing, and people from all kinds of people are endless on the way to the mountain gate. The hawkers selling along the street and the pedestrians bargaining are very lively along the way.
Wang Xiao, riding a horse, followed Lin Daiyu's carriage, watching left and right, enjoying the real ancient life that was absolutely not found in movies and TV series.
Last time, he was busy learning kung fu all day, and before coming here this time, he was busy with Lin Ruhai's affairs. It was not until now that he really had the time and mood to hang out. This is much better than an ancient city film and television city.
"Young master, something is wrong."
He Mengce, who was in charge of guarding the carriage, immediately stepped forward and said, "There are groups of people following us all the time."
Wang Xiao's face turned upright. He looked at him, and he was indeed some people dressed in hawkers who ignored the pedestrians' asking prices and followed them all the time.
"Protect the carriage and go directly to the temple."
At this time, it is even more dangerous to return the same road, and entering the Tianning Temple, which is close to you, is the best choice.
As he spoke, the sound of bowstrings suddenly sounded not far away!
Wang Xiao jumped off the horse's back when he heard the sound. He had never learned the Dugu Nine Swords and could not break the arrow.
On Wang Xiao's horse with several sharp arrows, the horse rushed into the nearby crowd with tears and roared, causing a great chaos of crying and shouting.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Xiao stepped forward and jumped into the carriage, opened the car door and looked at Lin Daiyu in great horror.
Although Lin Daimei was very young at this time, Keer's image in the new version is unforgettable.
Without time to explain, Wang Xiao reached out and resisted Lin Daiyu on his shoulder and jumped out of the carriage.
"Bring the maid inside." Wang Xiao ran quickly to Tianning Temple, and before leaving, he did not forget to greet He Meng and take Zijuan.
It would be fine if it were other maids, but Zijuan was a model of affection and righteousness. She took good care of her when Lin Meimei was alive, and when Lin Meimei died, she would accompany the ancient Buddha in the green lamp forever. It was a pity to die here.
Lin Daiyu hugged Wang Xiao's neck tightly and gritted her teeth to prevent tears from falling.
The carriage was only more than 100 meters away from the gate of Tianning Temple. The chaos caused by the shocked horse disturbed the assassins' movements, and no sharp arrows flew along the way.
However, the monk who was guarding the door of Tianning Temple saw the chaos outside and was eager to close the door. As expected, he was a smart man who could go up if he had the benefits and close the mountain if he had the danger.
Wang Xiao held the sword in his hand and shouted loudly, "Here is the family of Lord Lin, the Yanzheng Zhengzhou, here!"
Tianning Temple is a big temple, and Wang Xiao probably won’t even be known as the prefect of Yangzhou. But in this salt capital, the name of the Salt Government Office is something that no one dares to ignore.
The monk who closed the door hesitated, and Wang Xiao then rushed directly to the front of the door.
Not far from the gate, a vendor selling straw mat suddenly reached out and pulled out a knife from the straw mat, jumped over to Wang Xiao, and slashed at him.
When Sister Lin saw this scene, she suddenly lost her appearance.
The bright knife slashed directly over, probably the first time she had seen it in her life.
"I've been staring at you."
Wang Xiao used the Huashan sword technique, and the sharp sword tip gently swept across the vendor's neck, leaving a thread of blood.
So many vendors around were all scared by the sudden change and scattered. Only this guy squatted on the ground with a calm expression on his face and stared at him. Of course, Wang Xiao was paying attention to him early.
After rushing into the temple gate, Wang Xiao put Lin Daiyu down.
My sister Lin was already scared and she was weak all over and collapsed into his arms.
"This year's assassin's quality is not good." Wang Xiao joked at He Meng who was rushing towards Zijuan, "I have no stupid plans at all."
Except for the initial attack of sharp arrows and the ambush at the temple gate, the other assassins followed them all the way. Unfortunately, the chaotic crowd blocked them. When they arrived in front of the temple gate, the thick gate had already been closed.
The walls of Tianning Temple are tall and there are many monks. Assassins are not in the army, so of course they dare not come in.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Xiao saw Daiyu's face in his arms was red and seemed to dripping blood. He thought she was injured and asked hurriedly.
Lin Daiyu lowered her head and murmured like a mosquito, "I want to go to the toilet."
Frightened, then frightened to want to go to the bathroom. Wang Xiao immediately laughed.
Lin Daiyu looked up at him in shame and annoyance.
Wang Xiao instructed He Meng to negotiate with the monks in Tianning Temple, and he called Zijuan, who was also pale, to accompany Lin Daimei to the toilet.
The assassination was soon reported to the Salt Administration Office. Lin Ruhai was furious and immediately sent a large number of salt deers to Tianning Temple to pick up Wang Xiao and the others back.
On the way back to the Salt Administration Office, Wang Xiao smiled and joked, "Cousin, I said before that I would save the beauty when you are in danger. Do you believe me now?"
Lin Daiyu, whose emotions have recovered, covered her mouth and smiled, "The second brother is really a hero."
Back at the Salt Administration Office, Lin Meimei went back to rest after seeing Lin Ruhai. When she left, Lin Ruhai, who was still smiling before, suddenly fell down.
"Jiang Chun, I'm sorry for my wife and son, and now I won't let my only daughter go. Damn it!"
Wang Xiao picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea. "There is only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. Jiang Chun's plan to murder his uncle failed, and he was angry and wanted to attack Lin Meimei. This kind of thing was temporarily prevented, but it could not be for a lifetime. If Lin Meimei made a mistake one day, she would be very regretful."
"You mean to start first?"
Lin Ruhai frowned, "But even if he doesn't care about the Supreme Emperor, Jiang Chun has thousands of private salt and salt stewardess under his command, and it's not easy to get along with him."
"Jiang Chun has been the first salt merchant in the company for so many years, and other salt merchants cannot be convinced. As the company, he must be the biggest private salt dealer. The interests of private salt are so great that he must have many competitors."
Wang Xiao pulled a chair and sat down. "My uncle used to treat these people equally, but now he can secretly win over them to promise benefits and let them join forces to attack Jiang Chun. Other salt merchants should also take action and let them see hope. The actions on the official's face cannot be stopped. All kinds of impeachments must be followed and he must be in a hurry. Only when he is in chaos can he have a chance."
Lin Ruhai nodded slowly, looking pleased, "Very good, the Jia family finally came out of Qilin's son."
"I will send a secret letter to the emperor about Jiang Chun. He Meng, the private salt dealer, go and tell them that as long as Jiang Chun defeats Jiang Chun, the routes in Jiang Chun are all their own. As for the salt merchants, Shanxi merchants and Hui merchants have always wanted to intervene, so I will tell them personally!"
Before, Lin Ruhai was concerned about the Supreme Emperor, so he swallowed his anger and endured it. But now even his only relative was in danger, so of course he could not continue to endure it.
All the clay men are still three-thirds more rustic, not to mention Lin Ruhai, who has been paying private salt dealers all year round. He is determined to fight to the death. Jiang Chun, who has always been in an advantageous position before, will definitely be in trouble.
Jiang Chun seems to be strong and has a very hard-footed foot. But he is not really able to cover up the sky with one hand.
It may be fine to deal with one aspect alone, but he can't stand it even if all the forces are working together openly and secretly.
As for Jiang Chun’s biggest backer, the Supreme Emperor, if the Supreme Emperor is really strong, he would not have been forced to abdicate.
Lin Ruhai and He Meng began to contact someone to do business, while Wang Xiao said goodbye and left.
When I arrived at the garden, I saw Zijuan, the loyal maid beside Lin Daiyu, waiting there with a handkerchief.
"Second Master."
Zijuan blessed her body and said, "Our lady invites the second master to the banquet."
On the way back from Tianning Temple, Lin Daiyu said that she would hold a banquet to entertain Wang Xiao in order to repay his life-saving grace.
"I don't know how to run away, so there is no need to block me."
Wang Xiao smiled and walked forward, following Zijuan to Lin Daiyu's yard.
The most common thing in the Grand View Garden is to hold banquets and hosts. Countless things happen in gatherings.
"Second brother is here, please take your seat soon."
The smiling girl Lin greeted Wang Xiao warmly and poured wine for him. If Bao Dafang saw this, his eyes would probably be glaring.
"I have no time to show my diligence. This is not the sister Lin I know."
Wang Xiao reached out to block the wine glass handed over by Limei Lin, and looked at her with a smile, "If you have anything to say directly, I will never say anything that I can do. I am afraid that you are so enthusiastic."
Lin Daiyu is a lady with no fingers to touch the water of her family. She is sharp-tongued and stingy, and she never suffers any loss.
Those who are so enthusiastic and pour wine in person are treated like this, but Bao Dafeng has never had any treatment.
Since she did this, there was only one possibility, that was to put down her figure and ask for something.
Lin Daiyu sat down on the stool beside her, looking at Wang Xiao with her beautiful eyes.
