Gaotangzhou, in the dungeon. Qinbei Pavilion
"My ancestors are from the Chai family, and I have alchemy books and iron scrolls at home. If you dare to torture me, I will definitely go to Tokyo to sue you!"
Chai Jin, who was covered in scars, was tied to a wooden frame and roared hoarsely.
"How dare you, if it's the Zhao family, the royal family? How dare you say such treacherous words? Keep beating me!"
Gao Lian looked at Chai Jin coldly, waved his hand, and struck Chai Jin with whips from left and right, causing Chai Jin's skin and flesh to rip open.
"My family...my family has an iron scroll with alchemy books. I will definitely not let you go!"
Chai Jin was shaken like chaff from the beating, big beads of sweat dripped down his face, and the wound was soaked with pain, which was even more burning.
"The Iron Coupon of the Alchemy Book? Where is it? Why can't I see it? You actually lied about such a gift from the emperor, and then hit me again!"
Gao Lian drank tea and ordered to the prisoners.
The prisoners came forward and whipped him again.
"Brother-in-law, if you are talking nonsense to him, I will go up and give him two stabs."
Yin Tianci looked at Gao Lian with a flattering expression and said.
"What do you know? This man is of great use!"
Gao Lian glanced at Yin Tianci and said.
"This man? By the way, he has numerous properties in Cangzhou, and he has countless gold, silver and jewels hidden in his home!"
Yin Tianci looked at Chai Jin with a wicked smile. Everyone in Hebei knew the name of Cangzhou Chai Jin. He was one of the richest people in Hebei. His wealth was not even worse than that of Lu Junyi, the richest man in Hebei.
"fool!"
Gao Lian kicked Yin Tianci away. This idiot was only thinking about houses and gold, silver and jewelry.
"Chai Jin, let me ask you, do you know Sun Lei?"
Gao Lian walked up to Chai Jin who was in shock and dying and asked.
"Sun Lei? I don't know him! I don't know him!"
Chai Jin looked surprised, but still denied it.
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Anyway, I've let the news out. If Sun Lei doesn't come, he will be a coward. This kind of fool is the most stupid. He will be fooled by a little trick!"
Gao Lian looked at Chai Jin and smiled.
"It's me you're going to deal with, it has nothing to do with Brother Sun Lei!"
Chai Jin roared ferociously.
"Haha, stupid, it's not me who wants to deal with you, but someone above who wants to get rid of you! The only one I want to deal with is Sun Lei!"
Gao Lian laughed. He and Chai Jin had no enmity. He would not have bothered to provoke Chai Jin if it weren't for the orders from above.
"above?"
Chai Jin's face was pale and bloodless.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, this is an order from the palace."
Gao Lian patted Chai Jin's head and said with a smile, Chai Jin's head can be exchanged for the official position of a third-grade Longtuge bachelor and a Zuo Sanqi regular attendant.
"The palace's order, haha, brother is right, how could I be stupid enough to believe someone named Zhao!"
Chai Jin suddenly laughed maniacally. He shed tears again while laughing, and soon his face was filled with tears. He remembered what Sun Lei had said to him, asking him to be careful and not to trust the Zhao family too much. The elixir was ironclad, but it was a pity that he forgot that the stable life made him lose even the most basic sense of crisis.
"Just understand. Don't blame me. If you want to blame, blame your ancestor!"
Gao Lian also laughed.
"Brother-in-law, will Sun Lei really come? I heard that Liang Shanbo is very powerful, can we stop him?"
Yin Tianci looked at Gao Lian with some fear. Sun Lei was famous in Shandong and Hebei. Not long ago, the three coalition forces of Jeju, Dongpingfu and Dongchangfu were easily defeated by Liangshan. How could Gaotang Prefecture stop them.
"Are you afraid? Sun Lei offended my eldest brother and killed my nephew. There is a blood feud and we are irreconcilable. How can I spare him? I will use Chai Jin as bait this time. I will kill Sun Lei under Gaotang Prefecture! "
Gao Lian looked at Yin Tianci and said coldly, this brother-in-law is really good at bullying the people by pretending to be powerful, but he only has diarrhea when encountering problems. He is really not worthy of publicity.
"Brother-in-law is invincible in magic! He has three hundred magic soldiers! Naturally, he is not afraid of Sun Lei. It's just that there are few soldiers in Gaotang Prefecture City, so I'm afraid it will hold my brother-in-law back."
Yin Tianci hurriedly said, the fact that Sun Lei killed Gao Yanei has been spread all over the world. Needless to say, there is no need to say more about this blood feud. Gao Yanei became the magistrate of Gaotang Prefecture through Gao Qiu, and he would deal with Sun Lei both emotionally and rationally.
But Yin Tianci knew very well that Gaotangzhou was unable to deal with Liang Shanbo.
"Who said I'm the only one? I'll show you thousands of troops then!"
Gao Lian did not explain, but just laughed.
Chai Jin listened to all this. At this time, Chai Jin was very worried. His recklessness not only harmed himself, but also Sun Lei and Liang Shanbo.
"Keep this guy locked up and send him and Sun Lei to Tokyo when the time comes. We will enjoy endless glory and wealth!"
Gao Lian said to everyone that Chai Jin's head can be replaced by a third-grade Zuo Sanqi Changshi. If Sun Lei's head is added, it is not impossible to become a second-grade Zhuguo. Gao Qiu is now a full second-grade. The Taiwei.
After listening to Gao Lian's words, everyone bowed and said yes. If Gao Lian is promoted, they will naturally benefit a lot.
Gao Lian returned to the mansion above the dungeon.
"Has the news been released?"
Gao Lian looked at a Kongmu and asked.
"Back to the magistrate, my husband has been released. Chai Jin intends to rebel, so he will be captured by the magistrate and will be beheaded soon!"
Kong Mu replied.
"Okay, go ahead and keep an eye on the city for me during this period to prevent thieves from sneaking in."
Gao Lian waved his hand and said, what the thief is best at is sneaking into the city in disguise, but that is not important, what he wants is to build momentum and force Sun Lei to come to Gaotang Prefecture.
"Brother-in-law, weren't you sent to Tokyo? Why were you beheaded on the spot?"
Yin Tianxi asked with some confusion.
"You idiot, if I didn't say that, why would Sun Lei come to Gaotangzhou? If he were sent to Tokyo, Sun Lei could just find a place and rob him!"
Gao Lian slapped Yin Tianci on the head.
"Take my people out to spread the news, saying that Chai Jin has confessed to colluding with Liangshan Bo Sun Lei and is preparing to join forces with Sun Lei to rebel."
Gao Lian grabbed Yin Tianci's lapel, half-lifted him and said, Yin Tianci idles around all day, and has a group of helpers in the city who are rogue and idle men. These people are good at spreading rumors.
"Okay, okay!"
Yin Tianxi agreed repeatedly.
"Sun Lei! If you dare to offend my Gao family, I will see how you die!"
Gao Lian watched Yin Tianxi leave and whispered with a ferocious expression.
"Lord!"
Several strong men came out and saluted Gao Lian.
These people have messy hair, gourds hanging on their bodies, yellow Bagua turbans on their heads, leopard skins on their waists, copper and gold masks on their faces, iron hobs in their hands, all in armor, and breastplates on the front and back.
These are the three hundred Tiji sergeants under Gao Lian, known as the Flying Divine Soldiers. Each of them is a strong man selected from Shandong, Hebei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Huaihei and Zhejiang.
"Don't go out recently and stay at the mansion. I guess Sun Lei will definitely send someone to rescue Chai Jin."
Gao Lian said to several magic soldiers.
"Yes, my lord!"
Several people clasped their fists and said solemnly.
After doing all this, Gao Lian still felt uneasy, so he called all the officials in front of the tent, such as the commander in chief, the supervisor of the army, the commander in chief, the commander in chief, and the governor in charge, to lead the troops and horses in each department to guard the enemy.
