Chapter 114 Taking the imperial envoy hostage
  Lin Yun shook his head helplessly and said: "Before the incident, I didn't know that he was an Ouchi guard! It was just because Master Cui arrived that I deliberately raised my vigilance! To protect you! Moreover, this Ouchi guard was just unconscious, not... If you are dead, why would Master Cui talk like this!"

Cui Mingchong could only nod. At this point, he understood that his action tonight was a failure.

At this moment, the unconscious Ouchi guard unexpectedly woke up.

After realizing that his situation was dire, he quickly stood up and took a fighting stance. However, when he saw Cui Mingchong in front of him, he was stunned and said: "Sir!!"

"waste!!"

Cui Mingchong cursed.

He thought that sending Ouchi guards to deal with this little Niubei village would be easy, but he didn't expect that the boat would capsize in the ditch.

and put him in a disadvantageous situation.

The Ouchi guard felt ashamed, clasped his fists and said: "Sir, there is indeed a problem in Niubei Village! My subordinates found a granary with mountains of grain. Although I don't know the exact amount, it is at least larger than the one hundred thousand we transported during the day. It’s a lot more pounds!”

Cui Mingchong's eyes lit up, he looked at Lin Yun provocatively and said, "How is it? Lin Yun, do you have anything else to say?"

At this time, Oona actually pulled out a dagger from her waist, struck out with lightning, grabbed Cui Mingchong's chin, and pressed the dagger against his neck.

Feeling the icy cold murderous intent of the dagger, Cui Mingchong was frightened to the point of death, and his body could not stop trembling.

The imperial guard was even more frightened. Cui Mingchong was an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor himself, and he was also the Minister of Household Affairs, a second-grade high-ranking official.

If he was killed in front of him, it would be the end for him, and it would also bring disaster to the whole family. He shuddered when he thought about the terrible consequences.

The Ouchi guards shouted angrily: "Bold maniac! If you don't let go of the imperial envoy, if you dare to act recklessly, there will be no place for you in the Daduan Dynasty!"

The murder of the imperial envoy was equivalent to a slap in the emperor's face. Once the matter was reported back, the consequences would be disastrous.

Lin Yun didn't expect Oona to be so fast.

But Cui Mingchong, who was the party involved, also gradually calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Lin Yun, I didn't come here tonight to really accuse you! Otherwise, I wouldn't have visited you in the middle of the night! If you resist with this attitude, even if If you kill me, you will definitely die!"

Lin Yun took a deep breath and said indifferently: "What does Mr. Cui mean?"

"Ask her to let me go, and we can continue talking! You are hoarding so much food privately just to make money! But you are so naive! Without my help, I guarantee you won't be able to sell even a bucket of food. ! Moreover, as long as this food appears in the world, even if it is on the black market, it will directly kill you! Do you really think you can steal the money from the court by playing a little clever? "

What Cui Mingchong wanted to say was quite specific and pointed directly at Lin Yun's weakness.

Moreover, the wording is also very particular.

To seize means to plunder wealth.

If Lin Yun secretly collects grain and sells it, he must smuggle it. Tax evasion is equivalent to plundering the wealth of the imperial court.

Lin Yun suddenly fell silent.

Oona, on the other hand, looked unhappy and said, "Ms. sir, why bother talking to this dog official! Let me kill him directly and silence all the insiders in Yucheng Mansion! If we die without any evidence, the court will not be able to do anything to us!"

Cui Mingchong looked down and saw the wolf head tattoo on Oona's forearm, and suddenly realized.

He sneered and said: "Little girl, you really underestimate the capabilities of my Daduan Dynasty! I am an imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty, and I have special personnel to protect me along the way! Even if I come privately this time, once I If someone is killed, the news will be rushed eight hundred miles away and delivered to the emperor!"

Oona was speechless immediately, but as the saying goes, there is no turning back. Even if she regretted her recklessness, it was too late to say anything now.

Lin Yun naturally understood the murderous intent in this girl's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Oona, forget it! Let Master Cui go!"

"Ms. sir! This time I take action, I have already broken my heart. If I stop now, this dog official will definitely take revenge in the future!" Oona obviously showed a sign of struggle.

Cui Mingchong immediately added: "Lin Yun, haven't you heard the implication of my words?"

In fact, he was also afraid, but his many years of service as an official told him that the more dangerous the situation, the more calm he had to be, otherwise something bad would happen.

Sure enough, this last sentence finally made Lin Yun make up his mind and frowned: "I told you to let go!"

Seeing that Lin Yun was angry, Oona could only let go of her hand.

Cui Mingchong regained his freedom, coughed twice, and then smiled again, and actually made a gesture of invitation to Lin Yun.

"Please sit down, Mr. Lin!"

Lin Yun nodded. To be honest, this was the first time he had been so passive since he came to this world.

Although he had the upper hand in every aspect, the most critical secret had been leaked, leaving him helpless.

I sighed secretly in my heart, those who can serve as officials in the court are not good.

This Cui Mingchong is even more like this. He is bold and careful, has deep knowledge in the city, and is mature and steady in his work. Lin Yun's skills are simply not enough in front of him.

Lin Yun sat back on the chair and waved: "Oona, you go out first!"

Oona then left unwillingly.

Cui Mingchong winked at the Ouchi guard beside him.

The Ouchi guards also turned and left.

After this contest, Lin Yun and Cui Mingchong both knew what was going on.

Cui Mingchong smiled and said: "Okay! Now let's talk about business, right?"

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "According to what Mr. Cui just said, he doesn't want to get a share of the pie, right?"

"Haha! What do you think?" Cui Mingchong always spoke ambiguously, making Lin Yun never sure of his thoughts.

And this is exactly the way to be an official in the government. You will never give up on anything you say, and always leave yourself some room.

The slipperiness made Lin Yun feel upset.

"Master Cui, as you said, I, Lin Yun, do have some clever tricks, which may be difficult for you to detect! But if you change it another way, you or the court behind you may not be my opponent!"

Lin Yun had firearms in his hands. If he really wanted to break up, he would not be afraid even if the imperial court sent people to encircle and suppress him.

Cui Mingchong also realized that the boy in front of him was not easy to mess with, so he might as well give it up.

He nodded and said: "Okay, you don't have to threaten me! I just want to get a share of the pie. Although I am very curious, how did you make Niubei Village, a place where birds don't shit, grow so much? Food! But these are no longer important!”

Lin Yun's eyes lit up, and he immediately leaned forward and said, "What do you think Mr. Cui has to say?"

"Not so Gao Jian! However, as long as you hand over the food in your village to me, I will help you digest it. I'm not greedy either. I only want 30% of the profit!"

Thirty percent is already a lot, not to mention that he is just a middleman and does not need to take risks.
