wealthy lord

Chapter 673: Imperial relative Chu Yin
Lin Yun had originally ordered the bamboo gun at one hundred taels of silver, which Chu Yin and Ling Ri had discussed in advance.

"This is the money for three thousand bamboo guns. Please accept it, Lord Zhongtang!"

Lin Yun stood up and said, "Hey, don't worry about the money right now! When we officially complete the transaction, it won't be too late to give it back!"

Naturally, the transaction involves handing over the money and delivering the goods, but as long as he doesn't receive money, it doesn't count as a transaction.

When Lin Yun returns to Beijing, there is still a lot of room for maneuver.

To put it bluntly, if we don't give the opponent ammunition, these 3,000 bamboo guns will be just a pile of scrap metal.

"Oh well!"

The first time Chu Yin dealt with Lin Yun, it could be said that he was completely defeated.

It seemed that they talked a lot, but it did not meet his psychological expectations. He still had to think of a good excuse and go back to resume his life.

At this time, Chu Yin coughed lightly: "Um...Lin Zhongtang, I have one more thing to do when I come here this time. I hope you can show your respect!"

Lin Yun frowned and said, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

He had a vague guess in his heart that Chu Yin's true identity was definitely not as simple as a captain.

It stands to reason that the captain is just an officer as big as a sesame seed, smaller than the commander of the private army in Niubei Village, but Chu Yin's words and deeds are like everyone else, and he may be a high-ranking figure in the Chu family of the feudal lord.

"That's it. I heard that Xiang Chong was imprisoned by Lin Zhongtang. For the sake of that acquaintance of Xiaguan, can you let him go or hand him over to Xiaguan to take away!"

Lin Yun suddenly realized it, and said with a half-smile, "I'm afraid this is against the rules, isn't it?"

Chu Yin quickly stood up and bowed to Lin Yun.

"Master Zhongtang, this person is the confidant of that acquaintance. I'm sorry for what happened last time. Since the master just promised to let things go, let's just be a good person and do it to the end! Please!"

Before he came out, Li Zhen reminded herself repeatedly that she must take Xiang Chong back. If she really couldn't take him away, she would find an opportunity to silence him.

After all, Xiang Chong knew all about Li Zhen's secrets, and it was impossible for him to let someone who knew him very well surrender to the enemy.

Lin Yun immediately stood up, walked around the desk to help him up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, aren't you making things difficult for me? Maybe you don't know, right? That Xiang Chong just joined me not long ago! How about this?" , I will call Xiang Chong here now. If he is willing to leave with you, I will not stop him. Is this okay? "

Zheng Li on the side almost laughed out loud without holding back.

After listening to Lin Yun's words, he finally understood. No wonder Lin Yun made an exception and accepted Xiang Chong last time. He was waiting here.

Wallflowers are the most hated people at any time.

How could Lin Yun really reuse such a person?

Chu Yin sighed and could only nod in agreement, but secretly scolded Lin Yun for being cunning.

It is clear that one sentence can decide whether Xiang Chong stays or goes, but he insists on going in a big circle. It is obvious that he is deliberately trying to embarrass him.

"Then...okay!"

Lin Yun turned back to look at Zheng Li and said, "Go and invite Mr. Xiang here!"

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Zheng Li left the study and went straight to the back garden of the palace.

The wing rooms over there are reserved for guests, and our own people will not live here.

It can be seen that Lin Yun has no intention of keeping him at all.

At this moment, Xiang Chong didn't know anything yet. He was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, sipping tea, and thinking about how to please Lin Yun next.

He understood that his only value was his understanding of the Fifth Prince Li Zhen, so he thought hard about what happened to Li Zhen before.

I hope I can think of some valuable information and report it to Lin Yun.

At this time, Zheng Li came over with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Xiang is so elegant! Are you actually drinking tea here?" Xiang Chong's eyes lit up and he quickly stood up and saluted.

"Mr. Zheng? Lin Zhongtang is back?"

"That's right! Master Fourteen is waiting for you in the study! Come with me!"

Xiang Chong nodded. As soon as he walked out of the pavilion, he stopped suddenly and frowned: "Mr. Zheng... Master Zhongtang suddenly came to see Xiao Lao, but what happened?"

He knew very well how embarrassing his current situation was. Ever since he talked to Lin Yun that night, he had been left here without anyone caring about him or asking questions.

This suddenly came to him, making him feel vaguely uncomfortable.

Zheng Li said playfully: "It's someone from Chujiang County who wants to see Mr. Xiang!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Chong was so frightened that his face turned pale and he quickly took two steps back.

"No... Could you please Mr. Zheng to tell Master Zhongtang that I don't want to see people from Chujiang County!"

He is not stupid, how could he not hear the danger involved?

Zheng Li said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xiang, please don't waste my Fourteenth Master's good intentions! You should know that there are some things that you can't avoid!"

Xiang Chong sighed, with deep fear in his eyes.

"Okay! Mr. Zheng, can you give Xiao Lao some real information? What is Master Zhongtang's attitude towards Xiao Lao?"

"The attitude of the Fourteenth Master also depends on how you make your decision! Well, don't waste time!"

After saying that, Zheng Li turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

Xiang Chong could only follow behind silently.

Soon, the two came to the study. Before they entered the door, they heard Lin Yun and Chu Yin talking and laughing.

Zheng Li walked in and said respectfully: "Fourteenth Master, Mr. Xiang is here! Just wait outside the door!"

Lin Yunhan smiled and said, "Please!"

Afterwards, Xiang Chong walked in with an anxious look on his face, as if he hadn't seen Chu Yin at all, and knelt at Lin Yun's feet with a thud.

"Xiao Lao, please see Master Zhongtang!"

Lin Yun nodded and said: "Mr. Xiang, there is no need to be polite! If it's beneficial, give him a seat!"

"Yes!"

Zheng Li quickly moved a chair aside and placed it next to Chu Yin.

He has followed Lin Yun for so many years, so he naturally knows what his master is thinking.

Letting Xiang Chong sit next to Chu Yin was telling Chu Yin that there was no distinction between the two of them in front of Lin Yun.

Xiang Chong could only sit down obediently, but Chu Yin looked gloomy and looked at him sideways.

Lin Yun said with a smile: "Mr. Xiang, I would like to introduce to you. This is the captain of the Chu family army in Chujiang County. He is here on behalf of Li Zhen this time..."

Before Lin Yun could finish speaking, Xiang Chong smiled contemptuously: "Master Zhongtang does not need to introduce him, the young man recognizes him Chu Yin! However, he is not a captain, but the youngest son of King Chu Jiang, and Li Zhen is a cousin !”

Lin Yun's eyes lit up, he clasped his fists and smiled: "Oh, that's really disrespectful! I was wondering how King Chu Jiang and the Fifth Prince could only arrange for a captain to negotiate. It turns out they have such an identity!"

Chu Yin smiled awkwardly at Lin Yun: "Master Zhongtang, don't blame me! I'm not sincerely hiding it..."

As he said that, he glanced at Xiang Chong bitterly and said angrily: "Mr. Xiang is worthy of being a counselor of the National Academy of Sciences. He can enjoy it wherever he goes!"

Xiang Chong was not afraid, he cupped his fists and said: "Where is it! The young old man can live to this day, thanks to Lin Zhongtang's kindheartedness! It is not as noble as Mr. Chu. He tortured and killed the imperial official. What a big crime, and it is not nothing." No?"
