Chapter 668 Revenge Never Sleeps (Part 1)
When Li Ling came out of the military camp, it was already dark. Wen Ming had already brought people back to the state yard, and he would settle in the inn in the city, waiting for the grain inspection to be correct before proceeding to the next step.
For Li Ling, the governor of the Northern Frontier Transportation, transporting grain to Fengzhou was only the first step. He had to preside over the next military ration allocation work. It was not until the second batch of military rations in the rear needed to be transported that he would focus on new responsibilities again. So although he is not a Fengzhou official now, he actually had to stay here for at least one or two months, and he had to work here seriously.
Of course, these things have to be implemented for a few days. For Li Ling now, he is just an outsider who has just arrived in Fengzhou, and even stays must be held by an official position in the office. As for those civilians and soldiers, the former has to be arranged by the state government, while the latter has settled on his own behalf. In this regard, both Wen Ming and Di Jingfei are quite authentic and do not need to speak Li Ling.
But because of the previous turmoil, the time was delayed until dark, but Li Ling broke his promise and could not invite the civilians to drink immediately. This matter could only be postponed. When their party finally arrived at the inn, the second update had passed, and the entire Fengzhou was quiet, and the hall where the inn was welcoming guests was still lit. Then when Li Ling arrived in front of the door, two men in strong costumes who were sitting in the hall immediately stood up and greeted him: "Mr. Li, you are here."
When seeing these two men waiting for him, Li Ling's originally gloomy expression also smiled: "Yang Chen and Yang Zhen, why are you here? Have you been waiting for me all the time?"
"Yes, I heard that you are coming to Fengzhou soon, we have been waiting for it." Yang Chen smiled. Since the Southwest incident, they have not worked with Li Ling again, but the feelings between the two sides have not changed. They still have a lot of feelings for him and the two brothers. So when they can do the job together again this time, they also seem quite excited.
However, due to some changes, their brothers took people to southwest Shanxi to seize grain to suppress bandits, while Li Ling turned to Yingzhou, so he never met until this time, and he met in Fengzhou.
"How is it? Are you going smoothly? According to what the letter said, you have made contributions again this time?" Li Ling sat down, called the clerk to have tea, and asked with a smile.
"For the blessing of my grandfather, although the trip to the southwest of Shanxi has had some twists and turns, it has been a surprise and has finally fulfilled its mission. Where is the adult in Yingzhou?" Yang Chen asked with concern while pouring a cup of hot tea for Li Ling.
Li Ling casually talked about his experience in Yingzhou: "...so I lived up to the court's entrustedness, and then went north smoothly until I entered Fengzhou..."
"Sir, it's the Fang man who was framed by you today. You can't just forget about this matter, right?" Yang Zhen suddenly spoke, speaking with Senran. When his brother heard this, he coughed lightly: "Sir, I'm worried about this matter. Are you impatient?"
Li Ling smiled: "Your news is very well-versed. I know who is planning to do it for only half a day." He paused and his eyes turned cold, "It seems that you have already grasped his whereabouts, right?" He was still quite confident in the ability of the spy in the Imperial City.
The Yang brothers' expressions also changed, and then nodded slightly: "That's right. He has a place to live in the city. He came out of the military camp before and went home."
"How many trustworthy people are you under your command?" Li Ling said, picking up a piece of dry bun, ordering barbecue and pickled vegetables, and then ate it in big mouthfuls. He was used to it, whether it was eating or sleeping, and he was already used to it.
"There are twenty-three people here. Are you planning to attack him?" Yang Zhen suddenly became interested, looking ready to rub his hands. Yang Chen was a little worried and said, "Sir, are you too anxious? He just attacked you, but something happened when he turned around. I am afraid that others will suspect you?"
"Will others doubt me if something happened to him in a few days? What I want is this effect. If anyone dares to step on me, how can I do things in the North Xinjiang in the future? I just want to tell everyone that I, Li Ling, are not easy to mess with. If you dare to attack me, you will have to bear revenge. And I will take revenge at night!" Li Ling said with a tough look, and did not even avoid the guys and shopkeepers in the inn, which made those people frightened and wished they could escape and not listen to these words.
"But the problem is that there is Dong Shuai behind him..." Yang Chen was still worried. As soon as he said this, even Yang Zhen hesitated. Gong Wang had a very high prestige in northern Xinjiang, especially in Jinzhou.
"The court is still behind me, and it's His Majesty. Have they ever had any concerns?" Li Ling didn't take this trick at all, and said with a deep look, "Let's do it now and bring people to me."
The two looked at each other, and then Zheng focused his head. Then he didn't bother to reminisce about the old days with Li Ling, so he got up and hurried out to make arrangements. For them, it was really easy to take down a scholar who was not prepared at night.
After eating and drinking, Li Ling took people to the yard that had been booked and took a comfortable bath. When he came out, it was almost the fourth day. At this time, Yang Chen was already waiting in the yard. When he saw him, he stepped forward and said, "Sir, I'm lucky to have not been humiliated."
"Where are the people?" Li Ling stretched and asked casually.
"Just in the room there, Yang Zhen is watching him."
Li Ling nodded, then turned around and walked over. Li Moyun was also guarding the door, with a murderous intent in his eyes. Thinking about what happened in the granary before, he really wished he could chop this guy up and feed the dog.
Li Ling gently patted his shoulder and whispered: "You go and take a shower, and then have a good night's sleep. With them here, there will naturally be nothing wrong."
Li Moyun hesitated a little, but after looking at Yang Chen who was smiling at him and feeling the fatigue from his body, he nodded and retreated. He was really too tired today. The knife in front of the military camp and the subsequent fight almost exhausted his physical strength and energy, and he urgently needed to rest.
After he left, Li Ling had already arrived in front of the door and pushed it gently. The door had already opened in response, presenting the two people lying in the room in front of him.
Yang Zhen stood there like a javelin, and Fang Wenbi was lying horizontally on the ground in front of him. I don’t know what methods the people in the Imperial City Department used. Anyway, he was sleeping very hard at this time, and he looked like he was sleeping on his own bed, and he was holding a beauty in his arms.
"Sir, do you need to wake him up?" Yang Zhen asked quickly when he saw him come in.
"No hurry, let's hang the person up first, and then hang it... Let's hang it on the side of Fang Liang." Li Ling said calmly, looking at Fang Wenbi's eyes without hatred, just like looking at a dead person.
Yang Zhen agreed and quickly took action. With his strength, he quickly hung the person on the beam of the room without help. But just as he was about to come down, Li Ling said again: "Put a rope around his neck, just like hanging it. Yes, that's it, the other ropes can be untied. Put a stool under his feet, just like..."
After some request, Fang Wenbi was unconscious and hung on the beam of the house in an extremely strange position. In addition to having a rope around his neck, he tied his hands behind him, and then he only leaned against the stool under his feet, so he did not die because of the rope around his neck. But as long as Li Ling kicked the stool, he would be killed directly without a cup of tea.
It was not until after doing all this that Li Ling nodded: "Wake him up."
Yang Zhen could not hold back any longer. He heard the sound and took the big bowl next to him and poured the cold water from the bowl on Fang Wenbi's face, who was still sleeping. This made him shudder and then he slowly woke up.
When he woke up and regained his consciousness, he suddenly realized that his situation was very wrong. Not only was he not on his bed, but his hands were tied up and he couldn't move. He even had a rope around his neck fixed, and his whole body was almost straightened and he had difficulty breathing.
This shocked him and he screamed with difficulty: "Help..."
As soon as he said that, a man had already walked up to him. It was Li Ling who was sneering: "Mr. Fang, you didn't expect that we will meet again so soon."
Even though Fang Wenbi was prepared, when he saw Li Ling, his body shook suddenly, and his eyes almost protruded from his sockets: "Li...Li Ling, you, you are so brave..."
"I am not as brave as you. Just a common man dares to kill me, who is a fourth-rank official in the court." Li Ling smiled sarcastically, "I think you should have been prepared for it. Since I can't kill me, I will naturally seek justice from you."
Fang Wenbi's eyes were even deeper, but he struggled: "Li Ling, do you know who I am? I am Dong Shuai's person, and he is the aide he values very much..."
"I naturally know this. This is why you can live until now and speak." Li Ling nodded, "But I am such a person. As long as I want an enemy that is not good for me, even if I am the King of Heaven, I will take revenge. So you should save your worries and don't think about taking Dong Gongwang hundreds of miles away to suppress me."
"You...what do you want?" Feeling Li Ling's resolute attitude, Fang Wenbi completely lost his curse and could only ask with difficulty. He could judge that Li Ling must have a further plan to treat him like this.
