Shengjing Noble

Chapter 528 5

So he immediately sent Shitou to other counties to mobilize troops, but not the county where Wutong Town was close to.

After all, there is collusion between officials and businessmen here.

He asked Shitou to go to Lin County, where the county magistrate had dealt with him before and was considered a relatively upright official.

Shitou took the secret order and rode towards Lin County at full speed. It would take at least three days for him to return.

During these three days, we have to make sure that the people in the cave have not moved.

So he immediately sent the remaining people to hide in the dark of the forest and watch them day and night to prevent them from leaving quietly.

……

Su Lanyin looked at the account book in her hand and nodded with satisfaction: "Mr. Zhao did a good job. The rent you paid back is consistent with the rent collected in recent years."

Zhao Zide felt a lot of pain in his body, but he couldn't show it.

He asked anxiously, "Aunt, when are you going to leave?"

"Go? Where to go?"

Su Lanyin asked him.

"Naturally, we go back to where we came from."

"Oh, where did I come from? Oh, I forgot for a moment." She touched her head, looking distressed.

"How could you forget? You are from Shengjing."

"Huh? How do you know I'm from Shengjing?" Su Lanyin frowned and looked at him as if she knew the answer.

Zhao Zide felt guilty. After all, he had never made it clear that he knew Su Lanyin's identity.

So he quickly changed the subject: "Hey girl, you see, I have lost a lot of money these days while you are here. If this continues, I will go bankrupt."

"But you only paid the money, nothing else."

"What else do you want to compensate?"

"Of course it's fate. Master Zhao wouldn't play around. How many people have you killed?"

"I...Miss, it's meaningless if you say that. How could I have killed them? It's obvious that they were paranoid and wanted to commit suicide."

"Oh, so many people committed suicide in this Zhao Mansion?"

"This……"

"What? Are you trying to say that you are innocent and that they just had nothing to do and came to the Zhao family to commit suicide?"

Seeing that she was not giving in, Zhao Zide ran out of patience and shouted angrily, "What do you mean? I have been treating you like my ancestor these days and trying my best to be your grandson. Why are you asking for more?"

Su Lanyin looked frightened: "Oh, why is Mr. Zhao so anxious? Is he going to kill me too? I remember many people knew that I was brought to the Zhao Mansion by Gou San'er. If I die, my family will definitely pursue the matter thoroughly."

Zhao Zide immediately became timid when he heard this, as he couldn't afford to offend King Xiaoyao.

So, he quickly apologized humbly: "Miss, please forgive me. I did it on purpose. I was a little anxious just now. I slapped your face."

As he said this, he slapped himself on the mouth a few times.

Su Lanyin curled her lips, looked at the account book in her hand and said, "I love to gossip. If I go back to Shengjing and meet that big shot, and then tell him about this account book, I wonder if he will be angry? I have heard a saying, does Mr. Zhao want to know?"

"What are you talking about?"

"The emperor's wrath left millions of corpses."

Zhao Zide was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Then he quickly stood up by supporting himself on the table and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with trembling hands.

"Miss, I know I was wrong, can you please forgive me?"

Su Lanyin curled her lips: "Master Zhao, what's wrong? I didn't say I wanted to embarrass you."

"really?"

"Yeah, why are you so scared? Did you do something wrong?"

"No, no!"

"Really?"

"real!"

Zhao Zide subconsciously stood up straight, as if he was afraid of being noticed by others, but the more he held his head high and chest puffed out, the more guilty he looked.

Su Lanyin curled her lips and said in annoyance: "Ah, I'm really a bit bored recently, how about we go to another market?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zide, who had just stood up, felt his legs weaken and he almost fell to the ground. He said with a sad face, "Aunt, please forgive me... I really can't walk anymore."

"If Master Zhao doesn't want to go shopping with me, that's fine, but... I really don't have the money to go shopping alone."

"Money is easy to talk about! Easy to talk about! As long as you don't let me accompany you, I will pay you any amount of money!" Zhao Zide looked at her happily.

Su Lanyin smiled and stretched out her hand to make a five.

"Five hundred taels?"

She shook her head.

"Five thousand taels?"

She still shook her head.

Zhao Zide swallowed and asked with difficulty: "Five...ten thousand taels?"

Su Lanyin curled her lips: "Master Zhao, why are you so stingy to me?"

"Ah? Fifty thousand taels are not enough?" Zhao Zide felt dizzy.

"Well, it's definitely not enough. I grew up in luxury, and I spent all the 50,000 taels in a flash. It's not enough at all."

"So...how much is it?"

"Hmm..." Su Lanyin touched her chin and thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Then give me five million taels!"

"five……"

Zhao Zide roared out in despair, then quickly swallowed it back.

"Five! Million! Ten Thousand? Are you sure?"

He still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Su Lanyin looked at him seriously and repeated, "That's right, five! One! Hundred! Ten thousand! Two! Not a penny less."

There was a hint of murderous intent in Zhao Zide's eyes when he looked at her. He took a deep breath and managed to suppress it.

"I don't have that much silver..."

"Really? But as far as I know, Mr. Zhao owns gambling houses, brothels, restaurants, inns, and a lot of shops... How could he not come up with a mere five million taels?"

"The girl investigated very carefully, hahaha..."

"Of course, I made a strategy before and came to you specifically for this." Su Lanyin looked at him proudly.

"Okay... But with so much money, you have to wait for me to prepare it."

"Of course, I understand. After all, it's not a small amount. Go ahead. I'm not in a hurry."

"it is good……"

Zhao Zide turned and left the room, his eyes instantly filled with viciousness.

He walked around the corner and whispered to a servant.

"Do you understand everything?"

The servant nodded repeatedly: "Master, rest assured, I will definitely get it done."

"Go!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the servant left, Zhao Zide punched the big tree next to him, grimacing in pain.

Then the malice and resentment in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

He lowered his voice and said, "Bitch, you want to get money from me, I will make sure you get it but not spend it!"

……

Noon the next day.

Su Lanyin sat at the table, and Nanny Jin ordered the servants to put the sumptuous meal on the table.

"Girl, this is what the master specially ordered the kitchen to prepare for you. Come and try it."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of meat and put it in Su Lanyin's bowl.
