The night was dark, and Guzang County was completely silent. Everything was quiet.
The temperature dropped sharply at night and snow began to fall.
The ground was completely white.
Inside the county government office, the lights were brightly lit.
In the courtyard, Lin Feng was wearing a black robe, a large cloak, and a sword hanging from his waist, showing a heroic posture. In front of Lin Feng, two generals, Jiang Dushan and Zhao Feixiong, and a group of soldiers gathered, nearly a hundred people in total.
This is Lin Feng's current elite.
This time to deal with Cai Jingshan, Lin Feng had no intention of asking Meng Ao to send troops. To deal with Cai Jingshan, even if Cai Jingshan brings soldiers, the elite soldiers under his command are enough.
Everyone looked serious.
"send troops!"
Lin Feng gave the order directly.
After the order was given, Lin Feng's soldiers all walked out of the county government office together with Lin Feng.
Under the night, torches burned to dispel the darkness. Accompanied by the sound of rapid footsteps, Lin Feng and his party rushed towards Nancheng. Although the distance from the county government office to Cai Jingshan's residence was a bit long, the team marched quickly and arrived outside Cai Jingshan's residence in less than two-quarters of an hour.
"Break the door!"
Lin Feng gave the order directly.
Zhao Feixiong stepped forward wearing armor. He pumped up his energy and kicked hard on the door.
boom! !
The gate collapsed and Zhao Feixiong broke in directly.
Jiang Dushan and his soldiers immediately followed him into the house. Although there were people watching the night in the house, there were only a few of them, and all of them were killed in a single encounter. Even though the sound of killing awakened the Gaochangguo soldiers in the residence, these people reacted too slowly, and their number was less than thirty. They were defeated in a short time when they encountered the elites of Zhao Feixiong and Jiang Dushan.
Sha'ang, who led his men to resist, was beheaded by Zhao Feixiong on the spot.
The large group of people rushed straight to the backyard.
In the backyard, Cai Jingshan heard the shouting of killing in the front yard. He got up and put on his clothes and prepared to go out to see. As soon as he took a step, he saw the door being knocked open, and Zhao Feixiong and his men had already entered.
Zhao Feixiong looked at Cai Jingshan, flicked his sleeves, and ordered: "Take him away!"
"What are you doing? What are you going to do?"
Cai Jingshan became anxious.
He was a little panicked, but he tried his best to stay calm and said loudly: "I am a businessman doing business in Guzang County. I abide by the law. What are you doing by breaking into a house at night?"
Zhao Feixiong ignored Cai Jingshan and dragged Cai Jingshan to the hall.
Cai Jingshan's arm hurt a little. He looked at the young man in the hall and his eyes widened. He was so young and could mobilize the army. This man was Lin Feng.
Cai Jingshan's heart sank.
He even had a bad premonition in his heart. Lin Feng came in person. The situation seemed not to be good?
Did Lin Feng discover his identity?
Or is it just because of driving up food prices?
Cai Jingshan pretended to be ignorant and asked: "What do you want to do when you break into a house at night?"
Lin Feng said calmly: "Cai Jingshan, you are a member of the Gaochang Kingdom. You secretly hid in Guzang County of Daqin, hoarding food and driving up prices. You even spread rumors that Gaochang State was going to attack Daqin, disrupting people's livelihood and disrupting Daqin. Order. What crime do you deserve?"
"No, I didn't do that."
Cai Jingshan's heart sank. He was worried, but he couldn't admit guilt.
Once you plead guilty, there is no escape.
Lin Feng's eyes became colder and colder, and he said, "I'll give you another chance to tell the truth."
"I don't."
Cai Jingshan still answered like this.
"Break the right leg."
Lin Feng gave the order directly.
Zhao Feixiong picked up the scabbard and threw down the scabbard and knife. With a bang, it hit Cai Jingshan's right thigh bone.
Crack!
Cai Jingshan fell to the ground and screamed miserably.
His face was full of pain.
Cai Jingshan's whole leg was shaking, and waves of pain hit him, making him extremely uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth, looked up at Lin Feng, and said, "Lin Feng, you bully the businessmen doing business in Guzang County, do you follow the king's laws and are you being reasonable?"
"Break the left leg."
The cold voice came from Lin Feng's mouth again.
boom! !
A dull voice sounded.
The screams echoed in the hall again.
Cai Jingshan was already lying on the ground, his legs were bleeding and his body was shaking uncontrollably. Waves of pain hit his nerves like waves.
Lin Feng asked again: "Do you want to explain?"
Cai Jingshan opened his mouth to refuse, but the severe pain in his body hit his nerves. Seeing Lin Feng's indifferent expression, Cai Jingshan's cheeks twitched and finally said: "I will tell you, I will tell you everything."
"I am from Gaochang State, where I served as Minister of Household Affairs. Because I am good at managing finances, I came to Guzang County to operate and disrupt the people's livelihood in Guzang County. My plan is very simple, that is, from all over Weiwu County When buying grain, we bought a total of three million catties of grain."
"Then, I spread the news that Gaochang State is going to attack Da Qin. In fact, Gaochang State has indeed sent troops. Next, they will join forces with other countries in the Western Region to jointly attack Da Qin, with the intention of returning in revenge."
"When war comes, food prices will inevitably rise. I will drive up food prices, sell food, and take advantage of the opportunity to make money."
"That's the general picture."
Cai Jingshan still concealed one thing, that is, Gaochang State failed to unite the countries in the Western Region to send troops.
However, he was afraid that he would not be able to threaten Lin Feng, so Gao Changguo's plan to unite with the Western Regions was still going on. This was both true and false news. He believed that Lin Feng was afraid of war when he heard it, so he did not dare to kill him at will.
Lin Feng sneered when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "Gaochang State's attempt to unite the countries in the Western Regions is destined to be impossible to succeed. Each country in the Western Regions has its own interests, and they would rather Gaochang State go to war with Great Qin alone. Therefore, their final choice must be to sit on the sidelines. "
"No country in the Western Region can compete with the Great Qin. To unite, no one is willing to unite because they are separated from each other. The final result is that Gaochang does not dare to go to war. I don't believe in the so-called war. What you have in hand Three million catties of grain, how much money is left?”
Cai Jingshan was horrified.
Lin Feng is so awesome.
He actually accurately judged Gao Changguo's situation.
Cai Jingshan said quickly: "There are still about 60,000 silver, all in the house. Lin Feng, I am willing to cooperate, I am willing to cooperate."
Lin Feng ordered: "Search!"
Zhao Feixiong and his men quickly went to search, and soon found boxes after boxes of silver, totaling more than 60,000 taels of silver.
Cai Jingshan looked at the boxes of money that were pulled out, and he sighed in his heart, he was completely finished. This mission failed and one hundred thousand taels of silver were lost. For Gao Changguo, this was an extremely huge loss.
If he returns to Gaochang, he must die.
"Master Lin, I surrender!"
"I know the secrets of Gaochang Kingdom, and I know Gaochang Kingdom's court very well. Lord Lin, please spare my life. I am willing to lead the way when we attack Gaochang Kingdom in the future. I beg Lord Lin, please spare my life."
Cai Jingshan kept begging for mercy.
He doesn't want to die.
As long as he lives, he can still enjoy a comfortable life and find women again.
Lin Feng sneered and said disdainfully: "Even if Great Qin wants to attack Gaochang Kingdom, it doesn't need you to lead the way. There are plenty of people to lead the way. If it wants to attack Gaochang Kingdom, no one can resist the attack of Great Qin's troops."
"killed."
Lin Feng gave the order directly.
"No, don't kill me, I'm useful."
"I lied just now. Gaochang State failed to unite with other countries in the Western Regions. It was because Ma Yan's plan to unite various countries to send troops failed that I was asked to come to Guzang County. In addition, I also know a piece of news that will be helpful to Da Qin. It will definitely be of great help. .”
Cai Jingshan shouted hysterically, with a pleading look in his eyes.
Lin Feng waved his hand to stop him and asked, "What's the news?"
Cai Jingshan quickly said: "There are copper mines in Gaochang, which contain a large amount of open-pit copper mines. The copper mine was only discovered this year. It is relatively remote and the road is difficult to find. Da Qin has seized this copper mine, and Da Qin coins will no longer be needed. Worry."
Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
This is good news.
Once the Qin Dynasty seizes the copper mines of Gaochang State, it will be financially better off.
A country's finances are most fundamentally about economic development, but the output of gold, silver, and copper minerals is also crucial. The quantity of these mineral deposits determined whether the imperial court could continue to mint coins, as well as the imperial court's gold and silver reserves.
Cai Jingshan saw the change in expression on Lin Feng's face, and he continued: "Lin Feng, I am the Minister of Household Affairs of Gaochang Kingdom. I know all the situations of Gaochang Kingdom. I am willing to lead the way, and I am willing to be a member of Great Qin. All I ask is You, spare my life."
There was a trace of hatred deep in his eyes.
He hated Lin Feng deeply.
There are indeed copper mines in Gaochang Kingdom, but the copper mines are in the rolling mountains, and mining is not easy. Furthermore, when he enters Gaochang Kingdom, he can find any excuse and he will naturally have a chance to escape. As long as he is not killed, everything will be fine. Chance.
Lin Feng looked at Cai Jingshan, with a smile on his lips.
With the copper mine, there is a reason to destroy the Gaochang Kingdom. By capturing Gaochang State, Da Qin can further strengthen its influence in the Western Regions.
Liangzhou is the border of Daqin, and further west is Gaochang State. The two countries are bordered.
Gaochang State is located between the countries in the Western Regions and the Qin Dynasty. There are many merchants coming and going, and the business is quite prosperous. King Qu Yan of the Gaochang Kingdom followed Ma Yan's advice and followed the example of the Xia Kingdom in establishing an official system, opening an Imperial College, and building an army. The strength and financial resources of the Gaochang Kingdom were not weak.
How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the bed?
Such a Gaochang country must be captured.
As for people like Cai Jingshan who repeat themselves, there is no need to stay. They are not of my race, and their minds must be different!
If you have to kill, kill!
