wealthy lord

Chapter 606 Fire in the Backyard
Midnight watch.

Lin Yun was ready to go to the morning court.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and two guards ran in, clasping their fists and saying, "Master, Mr. Zheng is back!"

Lin Yun was overjoyed and hurried outside the door.

Zheng Li had been waiting for a long time, and there were more than a dozen carriages parked under the steps.

He bowed and said: "Fourteenth Master, I am lucky enough to live up to my humble duty. I have finally completed the task you assigned me!"

Lin Yun glanced at the carriage in front of him, immediately helped him up, and said, "Is this carriage filled with arms brought back from Niubei Village?"

"Exactly! No more, no less, exactly thirteen thousand sets of equipment, and one hundred landmines!"

Lin Yun smiled with satisfaction, patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work this time!"

Zheng Li nodded: "Fourteenth Master, thanks to the people from the infantry commander's office thirty miles outside the city, I am afraid that otherwise I would not be able to enter the capital secretly!"

Lin Yun smiled and said: "More than half of these equipment are originally given to the infantry commander's office. If Qi Changyun can't even do this well, he is not worthy of being the admiral of the Nine Sects! Hurry, order 10,000 sets of equipment to be sent to him Go to Qi Mansion!”

Zheng Li was stunned and said: "Shouldn't we send the infantry to command the Yamen?"

"Huh, these things were ordered by Qi Changyun, so of course they have to be handed over to him! As for how to distribute them next, it's not up to us!"

He had already planned to secretly establish a secret organization in the capital. It would be most beneficial for Lin Yun to command the yamen with armed infantry and gain Qi Changyun's loyalty.

Afterwards, Zheng Li ordered his men to select 10,000 sets of equipment and send them to Qi Mansion.

At this time, the curtain of a carriage was opened, and Yang Tiexin walked out.

Lin Yun saw him at a glance and immediately stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

"Haha! Mr. Yang, you are finally here! We haven't seen each other for more than half a year since we last said goodbye, right?"

Yang Tiexin knelt on the ground with a thud and said emotionally: "I have seen Master Lin!"

Ever since Lin Yun came to Beijing and became a high official, the villagers in Niubei Village thought he would never come back.

And Yang Tiexin once thought that Lin Yun had completely given up on old people like them because of his rapid rise to success.

But I didn't expect that there would be a day to go to Beijing to meet.

Zheng Li said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yang, the Fourteenth Master is now a powerful minister who has joined the cabinet to worship the prime minister. You must not be rude!"

Yang Tiexin was suddenly stunned and a little confused. He was just a blacksmith earlier and had never read a book. He only knew that Lin Yun had become a high official. As for the specific extent, he had no idea at all.

Lin Yun helped him up with a smile and said: "Okay! It's beneficial. Mr. Yang is not an outsider like you, so there is no need for these etiquettes! Mr. Yang, you have worked hard on this journey. Stop standing and go into the house. rest!"

Yang Tiexin was a little nervous. Looking at the magnificent Yun Mansion, his calves were shaking a little when he walked. He never dreamed that he would come to such a luxurious palace in his lifetime.

And Lin Yun gave him the respect he deserved. He was like supporting his own father along the way, and kept introducing the situation in the house to Yang Tiexin.

Naturally, he did this to appease Yang Tiexin. After leaving for more than half a year, he would definitely leave some bad impression on the old people in Niubei Village.

"Mr. Yang, you will live here from now on! When you settle down, I will send someone to pick up your daughter!"

Yang Tiexin smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Lin, this old man is used to living in adobe houses. He is really uncomfortable coming to such a nice place!"

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter! It will be fine after a while!"

On the side, Zheng Li sighed inwardly, maybe Yang Tiexin didn't know how valuable he was.

How could Lin Yun allow such a skilled and knowledgeable person to be in Niubei Village?

If he was assassinated or bribed, it would be a huge loss to Lin Yun. However, Lin Yun had changed, and Yang Tiexin hadn't noticed it yet.

At this time, Ye Wanqing heard the voice and came out. When she saw Yang Tiexin, she rubbed her eyes vigorously and hurried forward to meet him.

"Hey, Mr. Yang, you're finally here! Ever since my husband came to Beijing, I couldn't sleep several times and kept talking about you!"

The couple had a tacit understanding for a long time, and they knew Yang Tiexin's position in Lin Yun's heart.

Yang Tiexin looked flattered and said awkwardly: "How can I, the young man, make Mr. Lin and the Second Madam miss him so much! I am really ashamed of myself!"

As he said that, he wanted to kneel down again. Although he didn't understand the situation clearly, it was always right to take the initiative to surrender.

Lin Yun immediately supported him and said: "Wanqing, go and make arrangements for Mr. Yang! Remember, from now on, you must take good care of Mr. Yang, you know?"

Ye Wanqing supported Yang Tiexin and said with a smile: "Master, go to court! Just leave the family affairs to me!"

After that, Yang Tiexin was taken away by her.

Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief and silently watched them leave.

He said in a deep voice: "Did Mr. Yang say anything along the way?"

Zheng Li immediately bowed and said: "No! When the old man learned that he was coming to see the Fourteenth Master, he was extremely happy all the way!"

He knew that Lin Yun was no longer the little lord of Niubei Village. As a confidant, he could not figure out Lin Yun's true thoughts.

However, he could vaguely guess Lin Yun's purpose of bringing Yang Tiexin to the capital.

Lin Yun nodded: "Where is Niubei Village?"

Zheng Li hesitated for a moment, and just when he was about to speak, Lin Yun looked at him with raised eyebrows and said, "Is something wrong?"

Zheng Li clasped his fists and said: "If it's convenient for the Fourteenth Master, it's best to go back and appease the villagers! Now the people in the village are complaining privately! They say that the Fourteenth Master doesn't want them anymore! And..."

Lin Yun frowned and said, "And what? Don't hesitate!"

"Yes! It was Lin Xuan who started taxing the entire Fengyang County. He couldn't reach Niubei Village, so he tried every means to increase taxes on Niubei Village, causing complaints in the village!"

Lin Yun secretly gritted his teeth and felt a surge of anger in his heart.

My starling is really impatient. How long has it been before the fox's tail is revealed?

Seeing that he remained silent, Zheng Li didn't dare to speak. He just bowed and lowered his head.

Lin Yun sighed: "Go down and rest! When I come back from the court, follow me back to Fengyang County!"

After saying that, he walked away.

Zheng Li was shocked. He understood that Lin Yun was probably going to be ruthless when he returned this time.

In fact, since he came back from Niubei Village, he had guessed that Lin Yun would definitely take action.

Now that Lin Xuan has become King Fengyang, he has done more than Lin Fengjiao did back then.

Crazy taxation and siphoning off the people's wealth will only be counterproductive and unpopular with the people.

Especially after Lin Xuan learned that Ma Jiwang Chuanzhong Lin Zixiang was transferred to Beijing, he became even more unscrupulous. No one was monitoring him, and he became even more arrogant.

After Lin Yun entered the palace, the eunuch in charge shouted loudly in front of all the civil and military officials: "If you have the power, you will start early, but if you don't have the power, you will retreat!"
