Chapter 283

Five days after Zhuge Wolong escaped from prison, Xingnan City still did not find any missing prisoners. This was not only Tang Lin's Sharingan effect, but also because the court was already corrupt at this time, and more than half of the prisoners inside were casually arrested scapegoats.

These scapegoats have no names at all, and even the yamen runners can't tell who is who. Anyway, when they need to be arrested and beheaded, they just look at someone who doesn't like it. No one cares who is being cut, and no one cares whether these people have escaped from prison.

If you escape, you will run away and just catch it again.

Under such circumstances, Xingnan Chenggongya did not notice Zhuge Wolong's departure.

With the help of Tang Lin, Zhuge Wolong transformed himself and returned to Xingnan City as a wealthy man from other places. The convoy was sturdy, with thirty carriages, loaded with gold, silver and jewelry, and entered Xingnan City with drums and drums.

The soldiers who were in charge of guarding the gate saw this situation and even forgot to ask for bribes. The main reason was that the boxes of gold had opened the lid and shone brightly in the sun. There were also those colorful but crystal-clear gems, which were brighter than agate and more rounder than jade.

These boxes, any one of them is probably comparable to the tax revenue of Xingnan City for one year. A total of hundreds of boxes here opened and blinded everyone's eyes. In this chaotic situation, everyone wished to wrap all the copper plates in cloth to avoid the jingling sound that caused them to kill themselves.

Who has ever seen such naked showing off her wealth?

Therefore, the soldiers guarding the gate did not react until the convoy walked to the city gate. Until a man with a gloomy face came over and threw a heavy bag of silver in front of them and said, "Open the door quickly, my master is going to enter the city to meet the prefect Zheng."

The soldiers heard the sound of the beautiful pocket falling to the ground, so dreamy and heavy. One of them walked over and wanted to pick up the bag, but as soon as he tried to force it, he almost flashed his waist.

The pocket weighs at least thirty kilograms. When I drag it over and open it, I saw that it was full of white silver.

Three hundred taels of silver!

This number scared them silly. They didn't expect that they could get so much, and that thirty or fifty taels were enough for half a year to laugh. Their minor officials had a salary of only less than five taels of silver a year. It was not for them to exploit the people. They really wanted their whole family to starve to death by relying solely on their salary.

The so-called greed is not enough to swallow an elephant. When someone sees these hundreds of taels of silver, he becomes fascinated and says to the sinister man: "This is not enough to be taxed by the city gate."

The big man sneered: "Not enough? Then tell me a number."

The greedy soldier didn't expect that the man looked majestic but was so easy to talk to. After discussing with his colleagues for a while, he stammered and said, "The most...the least... five hundred taels of silver!"

This number is enough for him to breathe. Five hundred taels of silver, not to mention receiving it, it is the first time he said it.

After hearing this soldier, the man grabbed him as soon as he reached out. His body was as light as nothing in the man's hand, and he easily lifted his hand into the air.

The soldier struggled in panic, but the big man's hands were as if cast iron, and he could not break free. The big man said viciously: "Five hundred taels? I think you are short of money to buy a coffin. Today I will give your whole family a coffin."

As he said that, he seemed to be about to throw the person in his hand to the ground. Judging from the man's strength, this fall would be smashed to pieces.

The other soldiers pulled out their long swords in panic and were about to slash at the man. Unexpectedly, the blade slashed on the man's body and made a sound of gold and iron clashing. In addition to trembling his hands, they only left a few white marks on the man's body.

This invulnerable person is probably not practicing horizontal kung fu like a golden bell cover iron shirt.

"I don't know how to live or die." The man snorted coldly, and his body exuded a terrifying aura that made people weak, as if he was a beast that chose people to eat.

Such martial arts masters are not afraid of the imperial court. None of the wanted orders of the thieves in Jiangyang now look like that. Nowadays, the heroes of Green Forest do not even need to change their styles, and they still roam all over the world. So if they are beaten to death, they will be in vain.

A group of soldiers and little officials were extremely regretful. They obediently accepted the 300 taels, and they could be rich for at least ten years. They were greedy, but they even lost their lives.

But just as the man was about to kill someone, he heard a majestic voice from the convoy: "Baki, save their lives."

When the man heard this, he said to these frightened soldiers: "My master is kind, you are lucky."

The man threw away the man and knocked a group of soldiers into a rolling gourd. It was inevitable that he would hurt his muscles and bones, but at least he did not hurt his life.

The big man was too lazy to look at the group of soldiers, and threw down another bag of silver and said to them: "Give it enough 1,000 taels, I want to see if you have any life to spend it."

White silver scattered all over the ground, and the convoy directly knocked open the antlers of the city gate and drove straight into the city.

Only when the huge convoy left did the soldiers dare to get up from the ground and desperately snatch the silver on the ground. However, this scene had been seen by other people in Xingnan City, and the matter would spread throughout the city in less than half a day.

These soldiers rely on their status as the court and harmed many people on weekdays, but not no one dared to provoke them. Before, the gains were not worth the money, and it was meaningless to kill a few soldiers who were not rich. But now these people actually have thousands of taels of silver, and they make a lot of money if they get it.

As for the convoy, of course, no one is coveting it, but those who dare to take so much money to swagger through the market are definitely not ordinary people. So even if this wealth is more exciting, no one will rush up immediately.

This convoy was naturally done by Tang Lin. Zhuge Wolong wanted to buy an official and go to politics, and he needed to start from the prefect of Xingnan. Tang Lin discussed with Zhuge Wolong and couldn't just use the money to find this prefect Zheng. Everyone knows that the court is now corrupt, and a scholar with no power to tie a chicken appeared in front of the prefect with a large sum of silver, even if he couldn't even leave a scum.

Therefore, Tang Lin needed to help Zhuge Wolong build momentum first, and Zhuge Wolong could no longer use his original name. His fame was too great, but this fame only brought trouble, which would only hinder his political career.

"Mr. Zhuge, from now on, you should have the pseudonym Zhu Yilong." Tang Lin suggested very seriously.

Zhuge Wolong didn't care about pseudonyms, so he decided to use the name Zhu Yilong. Tang Lin pulled out a bunch of subordinates from the storage space and disguised himself as a super rich man from overseas. His ancestors were from the Central Plains, but he went overseas to do business many years ago, and now he hid in the Central Plains with huge wealth due to the war.

As for Zhuge Wolong, he was Tang Lin's "cousin". As a representative, he went to visit local gentry and officials. With this identity, Zhuge Wolong could have a legitimate contact with the prefect Zheng. With the wealth and force of Tang Lin, the rich man, with Zhuge Wolong's ability, it should be no problem to get the recommendation of the prefect Zheng.

Don’t think that the master of the literary world is the kind of stink and hard literary youth. The so-called skillful human feelings means articles. Among the famous literati throughout the ages, most of them are high-powered people, just like the famous Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, all of whom are officials.

If you think about people with great hearts, you will not be much worse than being an official.

The convoy entered the city, shocking the people of Xingnan. Tang Lin showed off his wealth all the way, and whenever he watched the roadside, he would give money directly and say good things, double it! Then he bought all the way, bought two streets near the city gate, and bought a large mansion in the Haofu District.

Such a large effort allowed everyone to see Tang Lin's financial resources. When they settled down, countless prayers were sent to Tang Lin's new home. Tang Lin handed these things to Zhuge Wolong to deal with. These are all the connection resources he would become an official in the future.

As for Tang Lin, he left the family and ran around to investigate the reason for the city of mummies. However, ghosts and monsters are blind spots for Tang Lin, so he also found an expert from other planes to help.

ps: I guess the blocked chapter cannot be released. Until now, I still don’t know where the violation is. Anyway, there is only a prompt for vulgar pornographic and sensitive content in the background, but no matter how you change it, I’m sorry, I can’t do anything.
Chapter completed!
