Chapter 75 Don’t give up yet
Zheng Li smiled and said: "Young Master Qiu, don't worry. Even though we only have four people, we are still enough to help Yucheng Mansion suppress the bandits!"
Zheng Li was not stupid, so how could he reveal his true identity so easily? Exposing the ammunition on his body would be equivalent to handing over his own life.
"Don't get me wrong, Commander Zheng, I'm just curious! Can you give me a specific number?"
Zheng Li smiled and said nothing.
On the contrary, a soldier behind her suddenly said: "A group of two hundred robbers is enough for us to eliminate three or four times, no problem!"
Qiu Yi suddenly realized it, and couldn't help but feel envious, jealous, and resentful in his heart.
He had only spent a hundred taels of silver to buy a hundred pieces of ammunition. He had to work hard to get it out of Lin Yun's hands.
But hearing what the soldier said made him feel unhappy.
If a group of two hundred robbers can kill three or four times, then the four of them must have at least a thousand ammunition hidden in their bodies.
Such a large amount of ammunition made Qiu Yi very jealous.
He immediately smiled and said: "Commander Zheng, can we talk further?"
Zheng Li had always been Lin Yun's follower. No matter how big a person he met, he was only qualified to guard Lin Yun.
This is the first time that he is respected by others, and he is also the son of the governor of Yucheng, which is equivalent to the next governor of Yucheng in the future.
Zheng Li immediately nodded and said: "Okay!"
After that, the two deliberately slowed down their march and let their subordinates go ahead.
Without the outsiders, Qiu Yi said with a smile: "If Commander Zheng can gain the trust of Mr. Lin and send him to perform official duties, he must be his confidant! Therefore, I will not beat around the bush!"
Zheng Li couldn't help but frown, as if he heard something, but he still nodded and waited for the next step.
"That's it. Last time I traded with Mr. Lin, I only bought a hundred pieces of ammunition for one hundred taels of silver! And the four commanders Zheng also had at least a thousand pieces of ammunition in their hands. It's a pity that so much ammunition was used to suppress bandits. !”
Qiu Yi said he didn't beat around the bush, but after all that, he still didn't reveal the central idea.
Zheng Li frowned and said, "What do you want Mr. Qiu to say?"
"It's very simple. As long as Commander Zheng sells me the ammunition in the hands of the four of you, you don't need to participate in this bandit suppression operation at all, and I will arrange a one-stop service for the four of you to ensure that you are fully How about falling in love with Yucheng?"
Qiu Yi knew very well that if he wanted to bribe someone, he had to establish a financial bond with him first.
Moreover, he and his father had always wanted to take advantage of Lin Yun, but they could never find any way.
Therefore, he would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and directly targeted the guards beside Lin Yun.
Although Zheng Lili is just Lin Yun's subordinate, he must know a lot of inside information.
As long as he can be used by her and be buried next to Lin Yun as a spy, he will definitely know Lin Yun's every move in the future.
Zheng Li glanced at him strangely and said with a smile: "Mr. Qiu, I have gained the cultivation and trust of Mr. Lin. I cherish everything I get in front of me. It is absolutely impossible for me to betray Mr. Lin! You still Don’t worry about it! Besides, what you said to the villain today will be completely rotten in the villain’s heart and he will never mention it to a third person!”
Zheng Li was not unmoved. One hundred pieces of ammunition were worth one hundred taels of silver. This was definitely a huge profit.
But he didn't have the courage. He had seen Lin Yun's methods and knew Lin Yun's shrewdness.
This time, I am willing to confidently and boldly lead my soldiers to perform missions. This is a sign of trust, but it is also a test.
So Zheng Li thought about it and still didn't dare to take the risk.
Especially when the warning given by the Third Madam just now was still vivid in his mind, how could he dare to cut off his own retreat?
Qiu Yi sighed inwardly, never expecting that this guy who had been a robber would be so loyal.
He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter! Since Commander Zheng doesn't want to, then forget it!"
At this moment, another roadblock appeared ahead and forced everyone to stop. Qiu Yi took a closer look and saw that it was Lin Xuan who was blocking the road. He was standing at the forefront astride his horse.
Followed by several subordinates.
Qiu Yi snorted coldly and said: "Lin Xuan, you are so brave, you actually dare to ignore the warning I gave you last time!"
Lin Xuan smiled slightly and said: "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Qiu, I just led everyone to Yucheng to purchase some daily necessities. I had no other intention! I didn't expect to meet you!"
Qiu Yi sneered: "Really? That's quite a coincidence!"
Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Zheng Lili who was behind Qiu Yi, and instantly recognized him as the guard who had stayed by Lin Yun's side last time.
He asked curiously: "Mr. Qiu, could it be that he just went to Niubei Village?"
"So what? What does it have to do with you?"
"Don't be angry, Mr. Qiu, I'm just asking casually!"
At this time, Zheng Lili said: "Mr. Qiu, it's getting late. Let's hurry up as soon as possible! It won't be safe here until dark!"
His words were a statement of his position and a warning to Lin Xuan not to think wrongly.
Qiu Yi nodded and said: "Okay, Lin Xuan, since you want to go to the city to do business, I won't stop you! But don't say any more! Let's just say goodbye!"
After saying this, he led his troops and rode away.
Only Lin Xuan was left.
One of his men asked: "Master, will you let them go like this? We have been waiting here for two hours!"
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Of course not! Let's go, let's go into the city too!"
Lin Xuan was unwilling to be given up by the Qiu family, so he wanted to interview Qiu Yi this time.
……
On the other side, Oona returned to Niubei Village and unloaded a whole carriage of kelp.
Even though it’s a whole truckload, it actually doesn’t cost much. There are plenty of these kelps at the beach, and they’re not valuable at all.
And it takes up a lot of space.
Soon, the villagers helped move all the kelp to Lin Yun's mansion.
Lin Yun had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Oona coming back, he immediately came forward enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, third lady! Come on... the food is ready for you, please enjoy!"
Lin Yun intended to please her. After all, he had been busy for most of the day and it was not safe to travel five hundred miles back and forth.
Oona curled her lips and said, "I'm not hungry! Let's eat later! Let me ask you, did you send Zheng Li to assist Yucheng Mansion in suppressing the bandits?"
Lin Yun was stunned, not expecting that she would ask this, and nodded: "Not bad!"
"Huh, sir, you trust Zheng Lili so much! Yes, you said before that you don't trust the people you employ, but the four of them, Zheng Lili, are all equipped with bamboo guns. They must have brought a lot of ammunition when they go to suppress bandits. If he does something fishy, you won’t even know!”
Oona's thoughts were very clear at the moment, and she thought about it for a long time on the way back.
On the side, Ye Wanqing and Lin Wuyue's eyes also lit up. They did not expect Oona to say such words.
"Hey! Why did the third lady suddenly become smarter after entering the city this time? Did she encounter any adventures on the road?"
Lin Yun touched her head with a teasing smile.
