Chapter 166

Li Ji said in a low voice, "Brother Xiang said: If the Lin family is usually more generous, he wouldn't do this. If you come to this point, blame the Lin family for being mean and ungrateful."

"You." Lin Rong was furious, but forcibly suppressed it.

"This is Brother Xiang's original words. Let the villain pass it on to Mr. Lin. If Mr. Lin is angry, please send it to Brother Xiang."

Lin Rong restrained his anger, and said coldly, "You also tell me a word, tell him to sleep carefully at night, it's getting cold today, be careful that the wind and cold will kill you."

Li Ji didn't answer, he took out a flat wooden box from his pocket and said, "I don't have time to talk to you about this, the villain's task is to check the notes brought by the young master, and then go back and report. The silver notes should be put in this In the box, after the villain inspects it, it will be locked. When handing over, Mr. Lin only needs to hand over the box. If the lock is broken, the handing over will stop immediately. All these are explained in the letter, Mr. Lin It must be clear."

Lin Rong didn't make a sound, but took out a stack of leading bank notes from his bosom, all of which were in big bills of 1 taels, ten in total, which were also prepared as required.

Li Ji gently took the banknotes from Lin Rong, and checked them carefully one by one, with a very excited expression on his face, his hand holding the banknotes trembled a little.

'What a country bumpkin who has never seen money before. He was so excited about 10 taels of silver bills. If he was replaced by a pile of dazzling silver ingots, he wouldn't be blinded. Lin Rong looked at Li Ji coldly, his eyes full of contempt.

Seeing Li Ji tossing and checking again and again, he said impatiently, "Okay, there will be no less or more of this bank note. As for turning it over and over like this?" ?”

Li Ji coughed, carefully aligned the banknotes slowly, folded one piece neatly, and folded another piece worryingly.Only then did he open the lid of the small box and gently put the bank notes in.

While closing the lid of the box, he reached into his pocket and took out a special lock, and locked the box to death.

After the lock was locked, he pulled it hard again to make sure it was locked, then shook the box, and heard the sound of paper sliding inside, then put the box on the table and pressed it down with his hands.

Seeing that he was so careful, Lin Rong looked down upon him, and said coldly, "The inspection is over?"

Li Ji didn't answer Lin Rong's words, but pointed to the lock and said solemnly, "This is a special lock, Mr. Lin can't get it open. If there is any damage during the handover, then the handover will stop immediately. Mr. Lin, don't make mistakes."

"Mother-in-law. You'd better go back and report back quickly, don't let us wait here for too long."

Li Ji stood up and said, "Don't send anyone to follow me. Once the villain finds out that someone is following me, he won't go back to his life. If he doesn't go back to his life, he won't start the handover."

Lin Rong waved his hand and said, "Go back and tell Lin Zixiang not to play tricks on me. I have already prepared the money. If you want to take the money, just hand it over honestly. After taking the money, give it to me. Get out of Wuling City immediately, and don't let me see you again."

Li Ji snorted twice and said, "Don't worry. We don't want to stay in this crappy place!" After saying that, he turned and walked downstairs.

Seeing Lin Rong's gesture, the two guards let Li Ji go downstairs.

Because Lin Rong thought Li Ji's body was dirty, he took out a piece of white silk from his bosom, wiped the box lightly, and then shook it lightly. Hearing the sliding sound of pieces of paper, he put the box away. Sleeves, throw away the white silk.

He walked to the side and stood quietly for a long time before arriving at Li Ji. He limped to the street and walked slowly towards the north gate.

Not far behind him, a clever subordinate had already bit Li Ji.

Lin Rong withdrew his gaze and smiled coldly. If he could find out the hiding place of Lin Zixiang and others in advance, wouldn't it be a one-time job?

Li Ji walked down the stairs slowly, and when he reached the stairs on the second floor, he turned towards the innermost table, and saw that there were already two people missing from that table.He couldn't help but smiled, and walked downstairs slowly.

After walking on the street, Li Ji walked towards the north gate, limped out of Erjiandi, then straightened up suddenly, and burrowed into the alley.

The people following behind saw Li Ji galloping suddenly, and their hearts sank. By the time they reached the alley, Li Ji had long since disappeared.

The news quickly spread back to Juxian Tower.

Lin Rong thumped the table, but couldn't get angry.

Su San heard a bang from upstairs, couldn't help smiling, glanced at the drunk masters and said, "This Sansha's Jinlingchun is really good wine, the shopkeeper sincerely does not lie to me. Come on, come on! Let's have a few drinks, and since we're here, let's go back with a lot of fun."

All the masters are also trembling these days, fearing that they will lose their job in Siyou College. Today, they got a letter of approval, and the expenses from a year ago have been paid. Naturally, they are also relaxed and want to drink happily. Therefore, Without Su San's persuasive persuasion, after a brief talk, everyone just raised their wine glasses high, and you come and go.

Su San's drink was shallow, and he hadn't touched this wine glass for a long time, the wine that was originally not full-bodied in the previous life had become strong now, he drank a few cups before begging for mercy.

Everyone didn't bother to try to persuade him, it must be known that if they persuaded Su San's host, no one would pay for it later.

Lin Hailu checked the time impatiently, and it was already approaching noon.

It rained for a while, and stopped for a while, and even when it rained, it was not very heavy, so pedestrians on the street didn't even bother to wear oil coats and umbrellas.One by one, against the foggy drizzle, wandering the streets at noon.

Juxian Building is at the corner of Shizi Street, which is one of the few bustling places in the city. It is the most convenient place to escape.

Lin Hailu walked gently towards the street outside through the slit, but there was nothing strange about it.Dozens of servants stood behind him, waiting for his order. Once they found Lin Zixiang's trace, these servants would rush up and hack Lin Zixiang to death immediately.

"Report." An internal servant walked in outside the door and shouted in a low voice.

Lin Hailu frowned when he heard the visitor.This person was sent by him to keep an eye on Du Ruhui's yard, and he came here at this time, could it be that something happened to Du Ruhui's side?This Du Ruhui really picks the time.

"My lord, since half an hour ago, one person came out of the yard every now and then, and now there are twenty or thirty people coming out. All of us have followed, and there are almost not enough people."

As soon as Lin Hailu heard this, a hint of ominousness flashed in his heart. If there was no important matter, Du Ruhui would definitely not use such a method to avoid people's eyes and ears, but he couldn't get away from his side, otherwise He really wanted to kill him directly, to see what this Du Ruhui was up to.

"Go to the garrison to find Wu Tong and ask him to send some men to you. You must not lose a single person. Even if you drag him, you must keep a close eye on him."

The person who came, nodded hurriedly.

After a while, another internal messenger came in.

Lin Hailu felt dizzy for a while, and this internal messenger was sent to keep an eye on the imperial envoy.Could it be that something happened to the imperial envoy Xingyuan?

"My lord, the imperial envoy is coming to the street with twenty guards."

Lin Hailu was taken aback. 'How is this going?Why did Du Ruhui and Li Daoming move at the same time?Don't they all know what they handed over here? '

"Where did the imperial envoy go?" Lin Hailu asked hurriedly.

"The direction seems to be the way to Zhou Mansion in the south of the city. It may also be to the government office."

Lin Hailu breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps back and forth, pointed at the man and said, "Don't worry about him, just let someone follow him from a distance, if you don't go to the Zhou Mansion, then report to me."

The person who came also flashed out immediately.

"My lord." A messenger who was staring at the seam suddenly said.

"What?" Lin Hailu hurried over.

"There is a signal." After speaking, he pointed towards the opposite side.
