wealthy lord

Chapter 589 Head-to-head confrontation
Cui Mingchong's expression softened slightly and he said: "That's the truth! But what does it mean for Lin Zhongtang to take his subordinates to see the Fifth Prince?"

"It's no fun! It's just forcing the Fifth Prince to let you live, that's all!"

Lin Yun understood that as long as he, the fifth prince, was not crazy, he would definitely compromise in the end!

After all, the life of Cui Mingchong, a second-grade official, was not worth much, but if the princeling was leaked in advance, the implications would be huge.

Cui Mingchong knelt directly on the ground of the sedan and begged: "Lin Zhongtang, I sincerely surrender to you! Can you not scare me!"

Lin Yun looked at him indifferently and said: "Get up! If Mr. Cui only has this courage, he shouldn't tell me about the princelings! You have to remember that there is no royal land in this world. As long as you are still alive , there will never be a safe place in this world! Therefore, it is useless to escape! What’s more, with me supporting you, the Fifth Prince will not kill you to vent his anger! If you can't even figure this out, you're in trouble!"

Cui Mingchong nodded. After listening to Lin Yun's analysis, he felt somewhat confident.

On the one hand, there is the princeling who has been hiding for many years, and on the other hand, he has this miserable life. As long as the fifth prince still has ambitions and desires, he will definitely make the right choice.

Soon, the sedan stopped in front of Prince Guang's Mansion.

A guard from the palace immediately came forward to greet him. He naturally recognized that the person in the sedan was Lin Yun. He quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "I wonder what the noble Lord Lin Zhongtang does for coming to my house so late?"

Lin Yun said in a deep voice through the curtain: "Go and tell the Fifth Prince that Lin Yun is here to give a gift! I believe the Fifth Prince will be very happy!"

The guard raised his eyes and peeked at the sedan, but it was pitch dark inside and couldn't see anything. He could only clasp his fists and say, "Yes! Sir, please wait a moment!"

Now the officials in the capital know that this young Lin Zhongtang is moody, so they are afraid of angering him.

At this time, Cui Mingchong said nervously: "Lin Zhongtang, if the fifth prince takes action directly later, you must save my life!"

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "You don't need to say more about this! I will give you an explanation myself! Remember, you will act based on my eyes later. You don't need me to teach you what you can and cannot say, right? "

"Don't worry, Lord Zhongtang! I understand!"

"Ok!"

After half a stick of incense had passed, the door of the mansion was suddenly opened, and the sound of rapid footsteps was heard.

The guards headed by Xiang Chong came towards me. He clasped his fists and said, "Lin Zhongtang, my prince is in inconvenient health. I specially asked my subordinates to invite you into the house for a chat!"

Lin Yun then opened the curtain and walked out, and Cui Mingchong was like his tail, following closely behind.

When Xiang Chong saw Lin Yun, he was about to pay homage, but when he saw Cui Mingchong, murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and he shouted: "Bold Cui Mingchong, you dare to show up! Someone... tie him up!"

Although the Fifth Prince was not so alert at times, his impulse was very powerful. When the Fifth Prince was assassinated, he thought carefully afterwards and understood what happened. Cui Mingchong in front of him must be the murderer.

When the guards around him heard the order, they immediately drew their sabers and rushed to arrest them.

Cui Mingchong was so frightened that his face turned pale and he quickly hid behind Lin Yun.

Lin Yun snorted coldly: "Mr. Xiang, are you planning to arrest someone in front of me?"

Only then did Xiang Chong react. He quickly stopped the guard behind him and said with a smile: "Lin Zhongtang forgives me, it's rude for a lower official! It's just... my prince was assassinated, and Cui Mingchong is the biggest suspect..."

Lin Yun nodded slightly and said: "I just said that the gift to the Fifth Prince is Cui Mingchong! However, we have to wait until he sees the Fifth Prince! Mr. Xiang had better not be impatient! Although I understand You are in a protective mood, but it is best not to get involved in some things, otherwise it may not be a good thing for you! "

Xiang Chong's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously took two steps back.

After this period of secret understanding, he was very clear about Lin Yun's evil intentions. This was not a threat, but a fact. Coupled with the grudge between him and Ye Wanqing back then, he might have been on Lin Yun's blacklist.

"Don't blame Lin Zhongtang! The official was too impulsive just now! Please come in quickly!"

As he spoke, he bowed and lowered his posture to the lowest level.

The surrounding palace guards looked at each other, put away their sabers, and obediently made way for them.

Lin Yun was now satisfied and said in a deep voice: "Master Cui, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Afterwards, the two of them walked into the palace grandly.

To Lin Yun, this was just a normal transaction, but to Cui Mingchong, it was a matter of life and death.

Walking on the road to the palace, no matter who he met, he felt that the other person had murderous intent, and he was afraid of being shot in the dark.

Soon, the two passed through the third door and came to a living room.

The Fifth Prince is sitting at the main seat waiting. He is wearing a light golden gown and his face is obviously pale. It is obvious that he has not recovered from his serious injury, but it does not affect his daily life.

"Haha! Lin Zhongtang has so many things to do, how come he has time to take a walk with me?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Fifth Prince's words are filled with strong dissatisfaction and resentment.

Xiang Chong, a dog-headed strategist, already knew that his last assassination was caused by the two people in front of him, but he had no direct evidence, and Fulinan refused to come forward to clarify, so he has chosen to endure it until now.

Lin Yunhan said with a smile: "What are you talking about, the fifth prince! When I first learned that the prince was assassinated, I was very worried! Therefore, in the past few days, I have been secretly investigating the matter! It was finally confirmed that the assassin was Cui Mingchong. Only tonight Send him here and leave him to the prince!"

Cui Mingchong knelt on the ground with a pop. He was already mentally prepared. At this point, he could only choose to believe Lin Yun.

The Fifth Prince stared at Cui Mingchong, but did not express any attitude, but frowned secretly.

He couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Yun's gourd.

These things have long been an open secret. Even the emperor knew that Lin Yun was responsible for the last assassination, but Lin Yun pretended to hand over Cui Mingchong on his own initiative.

This had to make the fifth prince vigilant. He was really afraid of Lin Yun in front of him, for fear that he would fall into another carefully prepared trap if he was not careful.

At this time, Xiang Chong said: "Lin Zhongtang..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yun raised his hand and frowned: "I am talking to the Fifth Prince, what's wrong with you, a little counselor?"

His words were so rude that Xiang Chong choked so hard that he could only shut up with a dark face.

But I felt increasingly uneasy.

Lin Yun could still pretend to smile towards him before, but now he doesn't even bother to pretend.

The fifth prince looked at Lin Yun with cold eyes and said: "If Lin Zhongtang has anything to say, you might as well say it directly! If my subordinates do anything to you, I will definitely punish you severely!"
