wealthy lord

Chapter 585 Life is like officialdom

Qi Changyun didn't even think about it and said directly: "After this year, we have just reached twenty-five years!"

"Oh!"

"what happened?"

"It's nothing! I'm just speaking out of my feelings. This life is like officialdom, full of variables and unknowns. Some people can reach the end, but some people not only cannot reach the end, they can't even see the end!"

Qi Changyun frowned and said, "Why did Lin Zhongtang say this?"

"Hey, Mr. Qi, don't worry too much. I just talked to Cui Mingchong. This guy is very afraid of death now, and everything in his words is full of desire to live! That's why I sigh with emotion! Well, Mr. Qi doesn't have to send you far away! I will take my leave now, don’t forget what happened tonight!”

With that said, Lin Yun got into the sedan chair and left happily.

Qi Changyun stared at Lin Yun's sedan until it disappeared, still frozen in place. He was carefully studying the meaning of Lin Yun's words.

At this time, Qi Rui came over, followed his father's gaze, and asked, "Dad, what did Lin Zhongtang say just now?"

Qi Changyun's face was gloomy, with strong murderous intent in his eyes. He turned around and said, "Rui'er, go to the backyard immediately and kill Cui Mingchong!"

Qi Rui was shocked: "Dad, are you crazy? If Cui Mingchong dies in our house, we won't be able to explain it clearly in the future!"

"Do it if I ask you to do it!!"

"Dad, what happened?"

Qi Changyun said: "It seems that Cui Mingchong is going to jump over the wall and tell Lin Yun the secret!"

Qi Rui took a breath, cold sweat instantly wet his back, and his body couldn't stop shaking.

"Dad, can you please stop scaring your son? Even if Cui Mingchong dies, he can't say that!"

Qi Changyun smiled sadly: "Chier, do you know how strong people's desire for survival is? Forget it, dad should do it himself!"

With that said, he walked back home, took out the bamboo gun from the study, and went straight to the backyard.

Qi Rui quickly stopped him and said, "Dad, did Lin Zhongtang say something just now?"

Qi Changyun had no choice but to imitate Lin Yun's tone and repeat those words with special meaning.

Qi Rui grabbed his hand and said: "Dad, you have been smart all your life, why are you confused this time? Lin Zhongtang is reminding you not to go astray! Our Qi family is not involved now, and so is dad. Have you been watching secretly? As long as Lin Zhongtang picks up Cui Mingchong tonight, our family will be safe! If Lin Zhongtang really reports this matter to the emperor, our family can explain it clearly. Don't forget, in Lin Zhongtang's heart, We are still allies! But if dad kills Cui Mingchong, that will be the beginning of the Qi family’s nightmare!"

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Qi Changyun froze on the spot.

He murmured to himself: "That's right! Why am I so confused!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself loudly.

Immediately, Qi Changyun grabbed his son's hand and shouted: "Rui'er, go after Lin Zhongtang now and tell him that from now on, the Qi family will follow Lin Zhongtang's lead! Go quickly!"

Qi Rui nodded in panic and said, "Father, you won't take the child away, will you kill Cui Mingchong again?"

"No! Dad was confused just now! He can't do anything stupid again! Why don't you go and chase him!"

"oh oh!!"

Qi Rui turned around and rushed out, got on his horse and went straight to Yun Mansion.

He wanted to arrive before Lin Yun returned home, so that he could be sincere. Qi Changyun put away the bamboo gun, rubbed his gloomy face, and walked into the small courtyard with a smile.

As everyone knows, Cui Mingchong had been hiding behind the door and eavesdropping just now, and he already knew everything.

He cupped his fists and smiled: "I have met Mr. Qi! Thank you for taking care of me these days... If I can stand up this time, I will definitely repay Mr. Qi's kindness in the future!"

Qi Changyun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Cui, you are welcome! You are the person Lin Zhongtang protects, so naturally you are also a friend of my Qi family!"

Cui Mingchong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then what do you want Master Qi to do?"

"Well, Lin Zhongtang just said that he will pick you up at midnight tonight! So, I'm here to see if Mr. Cui needs anything else?"

Cui Mingchong always kept Lin Yun's reminder in mind and said with a smile: "No! These days are enough troubles for adults, how can I have the nerve to ask for my needs?"

"Haha! Okay, I learned that Mr. Cui is going on the road tonight, so I specially prepared a table of wine and food to see you off and express my friendship as a landlord!"

Cui Mingchong refused again and said: "Thank you, Mr. Qi, for your kindness! I really have no appetite now. I'm sorry!"

When Qi Changyun saw that Cui Mingchong was so indifferent, he immediately understood that it must have been taught to him by Lin Yun just now.

He said in a deep voice: "Okay! In that case, I won't beat around the bush! Cui Mingchong, did you just tell Lin Zhongtang the secret?"

Cui Mingchong grinned: "Looking at Sir Qi's attitude, are you here to investigate for Meng Zhongtang? Or do you want to kill me to silence me?"

Qi Changyun snorted coldly: "Don't worry, since Lin Zhongtang has spoken out, I will not embarrass you! I just want to get the truth!"

Cui Mingchong raised his head and laughed. At this point, he no longer paid attention to anyone except the emperor and Lin Yun.

"I'm talking to Mr. Qi, can I understand that you use the toughest attitude but say the most cowardly words? Aren't you just trying to protect yourself? Isn't it just a matter of swinging around? If you tell me directly, I will definitely tell you!"

Qi Changyun was angry in his heart. A small second-grade official dared to talk to him with such an attitude.

He directly put the bamboo gun hidden in his waist against Cui Mingchong's head and shouted: "Do you really think I don't dare to kill you?"

If Cui Mingchong hadn't just overheard the conversation between their father and son, Cui Mingchong might be really scared now.

But now he is not worried at all. He has clearly seen Qi Changyun's fierce look and inner lust.

"That's right! I'll bet Mr. Qi that I don't dare to shoot! Of course, Mr. Qi can just snap his fingers to kill me, but how will Lin Zhongtang explain it? How will the emperor explain it? If I use the term "Xiaguan" In exchange for the whole Qi family being buried with him, I can accept it even if I am a low-ranking official!"

"you!!"

Qi Changyun was speechless. He didn't understand what kind of ecstasy soup Lin Yun had just poured into Cui Mingchong to make him so bold.

"What? Mr. Qi fired! Aren't you going to kill the official and silence him?"

"Cui Mingchong, are you really not afraid of death?"

"Hehe! Of course I am afraid of death, and I believe Mr. Qi is even more afraid of death! However, I have already been forced to a dead end, so death is not terrible! If Mr. Qi is willing to cut himself off, then I will give up my life to accompany you!"

Seeing that he refused to give in, Qi Changyun completely lost his temper, put the bamboo gun back, and said in a deep voice: "Cui Mingchong, I don't want to have any grudge with you, and we have no grudge! I really want to protect myself wisely, and I hope you can Can you tell me the truth!"
