wealthy lord

Chapter 551 Late night visitor, borrowing a knife to kill someone

While talking, the couple returned to Yun Mansion. As soon as they stepped up the steps, a figure suddenly walked out of the darkness.

Ye Wanqing was startled and hurriedly hid in Lin Yun's arms.

Lin Yun frowned and said, "Who? Sneaky, come out!"

At this time, the figure gradually walked out, and Cui Mingchong was seen wearing a night suit and looking at Lin Yun with a complicated expression.

When Lin Yun saw it was him, his heart skipped a beat.

Who is a good person who wears night clothes when going out at night?
This is clearly an attempt to do something bad.

Moreover, Lin Yun discovered that Cui Mingchong had a bulge on his lower back, which clearly contained a bamboo gun, which made him nervous.

He doesn't have any weapons on him to defend himself now. Could it be that Fulin'an jumped over the wall in a hurry and sent Cui Mingchong to assassinate him?

If that's the case, then Fulin'an is really too brave.

Lin Yun pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Cui! What are you doing in front of my official residence this late at night?"

Cui Mingchong looked indifferent, clasped his fists and said: "I have something to do, I want to talk to Mr. Zhongtang! Can you talk further?"

At this moment, Lin Yun naturally did not dare to anger him, so he could only nod with a smile: "Of course! I had a very good relationship with Mr. Cui at the beginning! It was only later that due to some strange combination of circumstances and an enmity with Fuzhongtang, the relationship between us gradually Alienation!”

After that, I took Ye Wanqing's arms and took the initiative to come to the door and knocked twice.

Two guards immediately opened the door and came out to greet him. When they saw Cui Mingchong, who was wearing night clothes, they quickly unsheathed their swords and looked at him warily.

Lin Yun whispered: "Put away your weapons! This person is my friend, you will not be rude!"

The two guards looked at each other, then put away their sabers and stood guard on both sides of the gate.

Lin Yun pushed Ye Wanqing gently and said with a smile: "Second Madam, please go back to the palace to rest first! I want to have a private chat with Mr. Cui!"

Ye Wanqing also realized something was wrong, but out of trust in Lin Yun, she could only nod in agreement and reluctantly left.

Lin Yun then looked at Cui Mingchong, who looked serious and slightly nervous, and made an invitation gesture: "Master Cui, please come this way!"

Afterwards, the two walked through the small garden and finally came to the study.

Lin Yun did not forget to close the door, and then turned around to look at Cui Mingchong, who was standing in front of the desk.

"Master Cui, is there something on your mind? Why are you so depressed?"

"Pfft!"

Cui Mingchong knelt directly on the ground and looked at Lin Yun with a pleading expression.

"Lin Zhongtang, help!"

Lin Yun's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward to help him up.

"Master Cui, just tell me if you have any questions. Based on our previous friendship, I will definitely help you tide over the difficulties!"

Cui Mingchong came to Yun Mansion quietly, and it was a decision he made after deliberation for a whole day.

Fulinan asked him to go to Prince Guang's Mansion to assassinate Sun Xing, which was equivalent to asking him to die.

Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, he will not end well. But the ant still lives in vain, not to mention that he, Cui Mingchong, is also the Minister of Household Affairs. He is a second-rank official, so naturally he is not willing to be cannon fodder.

Cui Mingchong nodded and said with a panic look on his face: "Fu Zhongtang asked the official to secretly assassinate Sun Xing! The official had no choice but to agree to the matter! Otherwise, the official might have been killed! But the official was really unwilling to do so. After much thought, Right now in the capital, only Lin Zhongtang can save the official! So..."

Lin Yun suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "I see! Since Mr. Cui can come, he must be more willing to trust me, right?"

"That's right! Xiaguan had a close relationship with Lin Zhongtang at the beginning, so he understands who you are! Lin Zhongtang, as long as you can save Xianguan this time, Xianguan will definitely obey your orders in the future!"

Cui Mingchong has no master. The peak period of his life was when he was an imperial minister and dealt with Lin Yun.

Since that time, he had completely fallen out of favor with the emperor, and even Fulinan no longer trusted him.

It can be said that this past year, his life has been quite uncomfortable. He is always on tenterhooks, fearing that if he falls asleep one day, he will never wake up again.

Lin Yun stared into his eyes and slowly stretched out a hand.

"Give me the bamboo gun you are carrying!!"

Cui Mingchong did not hesitate and immediately took out the bamboo gun hidden in his waist.

This gun was a gift given to him by Lin Yun, and it has been treasured by him until now. It still looks very brand new.

Lin Yun skillfully dismantled it, quickly assembled it in front of Cui Mingchong, and took out a wooden box from the drawer.

It is filled with special ammunition, which is very powerful.

Cui Mingchong's eyes widened as he watched Lin Yun stuffing bullets into the barrel of the gun. He was surprised and said, "Lin Zhongtang, what do you mean by this? Are you asking me to continue to assassinate Sun Xing?"

Lin Yun showed a sinister smile: "Master Cui, do you want to survive?"

"Think! I really don't want to be the victim of a power struggle! Lin Zhongtang must have a way to save me, right?"

Lin Yun nodded, put the bamboo gun filled with special ammunition back into his hand, and said sternly: "If you want to survive, just listen to me! Use this gun to assassinate the Fifth Prince!"

As soon as these words came out, Cui Mingchong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again, sweating profusely.

"Does Lin Zhongtang think that the official's death is not tragic enough? The fifth prince is the younger brother of the current emperor, and he has an army of 200,000 green troops. If such a person is good or bad, then even if the official has a hundred heads, it won't be enough. Cut it!"

Lin Yun rolled his eyes and said: "Master Cui, if you trust me, just obey me! If I want to harm you, I can just drive you away or kill you. There is no need to go through such a big circle!!"

Cui Mingchong thought about this and asked curiously: "Can Lin Zhongtang tell me why he wanted to assassinate the fifth prince?"

Lin Yunwan said: "The reason is very simple! Fulin'an asked you to kill Sun Xing. On the surface, he wanted to prevent me from following the clues and continuing the investigation! But in fact, he wanted to kill not only Sun Xing, but also you...including you The same official who once knew his Fulin'an secret! So, if Mr. Cui goes to assassinate the fifth prince under the banner of Fulin'an, what will be the result? "

After Cui Mingchong heard Lin Yun's plan, he felt like he had fallen into an endless abyss. When he looked at him again, his eyes were full of fear.

Lin Yun in front of him was actually so ruthless. He thought that when he was just a small lord of Niubei Village, he was bargaining with him for hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain.

But in just a few years, he has grown to the point where he dares to plot against the prince.

Seeing that he remained silent, Lin Yun continued: "I know what you are worried about. It is just that I am afraid that I will burn the bridge by crossing the river, just like Fulin'an. After using you, I will kick you away! Right?"

Cui Mingchong lowered his head in embarrassment and did not dare to say a word, but it was obvious that Lin Yun had hit his mark.

Lin Yun smiled and said, "Master Cui, do you think your life is more valuable than Fulin'an or the Fifth Prince?"
