"Lin...Master Lin..."
In the inn, Kuang Zhiwei was trembling and his legs were not working properly.
He didn't know Lin Bai's identity until the day the Southwest Chieftains rebelled.
I originally thought that the other party was a certain prince or heir apparent, but it turned out to be the famous Qingfeng Shixian.
Forget it, in just a few days, the other party has become the Southwest Special Envoy again, and has the right to kill first and then report later. This is simply...
He couldn't help but tremble when he remembered that he had wanted to traffic Tianzhu Hemp with the other party before.
"No need to be so nervous."
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Didn't we agree before that we will cooperate in the future? I am seven and you are three."
this!
Kuang Zhiwei almost cried.
That look clearly said: Brother, can you please stop playing tricks on me?
Lin Bai smiled and said: "What, you don't believe it? I am serious, but there is a condition. It cannot be sold to the people of Li Dynasty. I will not care about other places, such as Dali."
The last time we raided Qinglong Temple, we actually confiscated a lot of Tianzhu hemp.
It seems a bit wasteful to just burn it in vain.
As long as they don't harm their own people, the talented man said he can't control much else.
Kuang Zhiwei was startled for a moment and looked at Lin Bai in surprise, with a suspicious look on his face, obviously still a little unsure.
Lin Bai asked again: "Is there a channel?"
Kuang Zhiwei said tentatively, "Yes."
Lin Bai nodded, "That's enough. I'll leave that batch of goods to you. Exchange them for silver as soon as possible. As you know, I am very short of silver now."
He had a smile on his face.
Kuang Zhiwei only felt a chill running down his spine, but he still nodded, with a look of joy in his eyes.
But soon, his expression changed again.
Lin Bai spoke again: "By the way, which side are you going to stand on?"
ah?
Kuang Zhiwei was confused.
Lin Bai continued: "You said that I came here for Tianzhu Hemp. As soon as I entered the southwest, I happened to encounter you trafficking Tianzhu Hemp. Later, I learned about Admiral Guinan from your mouth."
"Even you, the second son of Xiangxi, actually know the location of the warehouse where Tianzhu Hemp is stored in Qinglong Temple. You know, it took the Feilong Guards all their efforts to find it..."
Hearing this, Kuang Zhiwei's face instantly turned pale.
He quickly said: "Sir... Sir, coincidence, everything is a coincidence..."
He was obviously panicked and was stammering when he spoke.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "That's right! Why do I think someone deliberately wants me to confront Admiral Guinan?"
"It can't be you, can it?"
Kuang Zhiwei's face became even more ugly and he was sweating profusely. "No...it's none of my business. I really don't know anything."
Lin Bai's lips curled up in amusement, "Don't be so nervous. I didn't say it was related to you. Generally, people with a guilty conscience would have escaped long ago. You have never left..."
"Yep!"
Kuang Zhiwei nodded quickly.
Lin Bai added: "Are you being taken advantage of? Let me guess, is it your brother-in-law, the prefect of Huaizhou?"
Kuang Zhiwei's face was as white as paper, his lips were trembling, and he didn't know what to say.
Lin Bai continued: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass your brother-in-law. I just came to the southwest and have no enmity with him. There is no need for him to deal with me. He probably received orders from above."
"However, he even lied to you, which is a bit inappropriate."
Kuang Zhiwei's teeth chattered.
Looking back on everything before, he already knew that he was being used.
"Sir, I... I really don't know. It was indeed my brother-in-law who revealed the matter about Admiral Guinan. He said it was to show his kindness to your lord. There is one warehouse address at Qinglong Temple that I guessed from where I often get goods. There are several others. The suspected addresses were all told to me by my brother-in-law..."
really!
Lin Bai smiled, he had doubted it before.
How could a second son from Xiangxi know so much? It was obviously abnormal.
Now it seems that someone is clearly using the other party to deliberately lead him to find trouble with Jiang Hailiu. Jiang Hailiu jumps over the wall in a hurry, thereby exposing his plan to return to his native land and counterattack him.
It also detonated the southwest by the way.
What does the person behind it want to do? This is not just to deal with yourself, it is to bring chaos to the world.
"I...I really don't know that my brother-in-law is targeting adults..."
Kuang Zhiwei kept begging for mercy.
Lin Bai smiled and said: "There is no need to be nervous. If I blame you, you are already a dead person."
"It's still the same question, which side are you going to stand on?"
Kuang Zhiwei looked puzzled.
Lin Bai continued: "Someone wants to deal with me. Naturally, I can't just sit back and wait for death. Help me dig out the person..."
Kuang Zhiwei finally understood that he was going to be a reverse traitor.
In such a situation, being exploited, and being a great talent, Kuang Zhiwei agreed without hesitation, "Young man is willing to serve you."
Lin Bai smiled and said: "You are a smart man, but don't forget to show your value. I don't like incompetent people, you know."
Kuang Zhiwei said quickly: "Don't worry, adults, I know what to do and will do my best."
Lin Bai nodded, "Just understand."
Immediately, Kuang Zhiwei told some information about which officials Liu Yunpeng had close contacts with, and he seemed to be very serious.
This guy is not stupid. Lin Bai is the special envoy of the southwest. In this southwest land, he is an emperor-like existence. No one else can fawn over him. He has such a good opportunity, so naturally he will not give up.
As for what brother-in-law.
sorry! You use me and I betray you and hurt each other, it's very reasonable!
After saying a few more words, Lin Bai asked him to step back, and also asked him to take Tianzhu Hema away.
Exchanging money is part of the reason. In addition, it can also paralyze the people behind it and take a look at the channels of these people.
So far, Qinglong Temple has traveled by land, while Zhu Kang obviously traveled by water or sea.
I'm afraid there's more than just one river and sea current in it.
Although the talented man is not very interested in this matter, and Tianzhu Huoma is enough to communicate with him, it is always good to know more about it, since there are people running errands anyway.
After doing all this, Lin Bai came to the governor's Yamen.
Lu Zhendong and his party hurriedly greeted them.
In the past, everyone had the same official position. Although Lin Bai was an imperial envoy, it was nothing more than that. But now it is completely different. How dare a group of people be careless.
Lin Bai looked calm and said: "We are all officials in the same court, so there is no need to be so open-minded."
Although he said this, the group of people obviously did not dare to take it seriously and were respectful.
Lu Zhendong said: "That's right. Your Excellency is here. What are your orders?"
Lin Bai was too lazy to be polite and said directly: "The governor's office will issue an announcement in my name, saying that in half a year, the imperial court will open an enke in the southwest."
All the officials' eyes were bright.
"Mr. Lin, is this true? Is the imperial court really going to add Enko in the southwest?"
No wonder they are excited. The imperial examination only takes place every three years. The addition of Enke is undoubtedly a great thing for students all over the world.
Lin Bai said: "Of course it is true. The emperor's grace is so great. This Enke was specially added by His Majesty to support the development of the Southwest. I am afraid that Kyoto has already announced that all students from the Southwest will be able to participate in this imperial examination."
"Sir, what about the students outside the Southwest?"
Some officials couldn't help but ask.
