The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 116 Chang Lingyue and Sun Yuze

Although Qi Zhen sent several subordinates to secretly monitor Chu Kuo's movements, he had already received the task of "catching people" at the morning meeting, so he still had to make a good show. Therefore, he really brought a team to search in the afternoon.

Just as Lin Shanjuan expected, Chu Kuo spoke furtively to the cake seller at the door after the morning meeting. His family followed the cake seller through the streets and alleys, and finally caught the arsonist who was hiding in a bungalow waiting to be fed.

Chu Kuo never dreamed that the person who provided the arsonist's appearance and address would be himself.

When Qi Zhen led his men straight to the north of the city, Chu Kuo saw it all and secretly felt lucky that his news was passed on in time.

After leaving Chu Kuo's sight, Qi Zhen took the team to find a teahouse to sit down and drink tea, planning to rest for a while and go back on time.

As the tea bowl touched his lips, a figure flew out from mid-air and slammed heavily on the table. Qi Zhen was startled and quickly jumped away from the table.

Qi Zhen recognized the person who fell on the tea table. It was Sun Yuze, the young master of the Xingguo family.

He had been a garrison general in the capital for many years, and he often saw these wealthy and idle young men from aristocratic families.

I've never seen a young man from a noble family in such a miserable state.

Sun Yuze paid no attention to the others, only to continue shouting curses at the front: "What a rubbish casino! They don't even have a game called Landlord, and you still have the nerve to call yourself the biggest gambling house in Beijing? My gambling house is the biggest! How dare you steal my business? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're a lousy martial arts champion! What a jerk!"

He cursed until his face turned red and his neck became thick. Qi Zhen just looked over when a bench flew over, frightening Sun Yuze: "Help! Someone come! He wants to kill me!"

Qi Zhen had a duty to fulfill and could not sit idly by. He caught the bench with one hand and placed it steadily on the ground.

The visitor just walked up to him at this moment, saw the soft armor on Qi Zhen's body, and recognized where he came from - the Qingzheng Division.

"It's General Qi, nice to meet you." Chang Lingyue clasped his fists slightly and did not take Qi Zhen seriously. Although Qi Zhen held a low official position, his family had a title after all, and he always looked down on others.

Qi Zhen responded, "There are many people in this busy city. Please don't fight. This will only harm the people and the harmony."

Chang Lingyue was initially disdainful, but then something occurred to him, and he suddenly became interested. "I heard that your Imperial Censor Lin Si has created a wooden plaque game. I wonder if she's at the Qingzheng Division today? This Commandant would like to pay her a visit."

Qi Zhen rolled his eyes in his heart - our Lin Si is a senior official of the third rank, what are you, a sixth rank captain, so arrogant about?

But it was difficult to say these things publicly, so Qi Zhen could only nod vaguely: "Yes, I am. I'm just busy with work and have no free time."

Chang Lingyue didn't understand the disguised rejection. In fact, from the moment he had the idea of ​​"visiting", he no longer cared about what answer Qi Zhen gave.

"Sun Yuze, don't be so proud. What you made is just a copycat. Since you think it's not good enough, I'm going to find Lin Si now and make a replica of the real Landlord game. Let's see what you can use to fight me!"

Sun Yuze was so angry that his face almost turned into an eggplant: "I'm going too! Why should only you be able to see it!"

Chang Lingyue narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you looking for death?"

Sun Yuze suddenly shrank behind Qi Zhen and said, "General Qi saved my life. I'm going to repay him. Do you still need to interfere?"

Chang Lingyue was unable to refute anything, so he snorted coldly and galloped away.

Sun Yuze became anxious when he saw this, and quickly urged Qi Zhen to get on the horse, and followed closely behind.

Qi Zhen was speechless and had to chase after them, fearing that these two young masters would cause trouble for Lin Shanjuan.

Lin Shanjuan was talking to Ye Xi about how to set up a trap for the evening banquet to make Chu Kuo let down his guard, when suddenly a subordinate rushed in. Before he could finish his report, two young masters came up to him.

Ye Xi knew she couldn't hold back, so he whispered the identities of the two men in her ear: "The one in front is the one I just told you about, the martial arts champion, Tianmen Commander Chang Lingyue. Following behind him is the idle young master of the Xingguo family, Sun Yuze."

Lin Shanjuan had just nodded when the two men arrived in front of him. They bowed hypocritically, but when they turned to Ye Xi, they were obviously flattering.

The personalities of the two were clearly revealed, and Lin Shanjuan saw through them at a glance, but he smiled and said nothing.

"This must be Mr. Lin, right?" Chang Lingyue spoke first. "I came here today to ask Mr. Lin to give me the blueprints for the Landlord game so I can introduce them to my casino and help Mr. Lin spread the word."

Seeing this, Sun Yuze hurried forward to express his sincerity. "Hello, Mr. Lin, hello, Mr. Lin. I have a different request from him. Our casino has already made a set of wooden cards based on Mr. Lin's. Today is a good opportunity. If Mr. Lin is willing to give you some advice, he will have a share of the future profits from Landlord. We can benefit from each other and cooperate. How about it?"

Well, this Sun Yuze is a businessman. Although he also looks down on himself, he knows how to restrain himself when it comes to interests.

Chang Lingyue also realized the gap between himself and others, and couldn't win the argument, so he started to glare.

"Sun Yuze! You really deserve a beating for your rotten mouth!"

Sun Yuze was also dissatisfied, his tone was sarcastic: "It was originally a cooperation, do you think Lin Si is one of your servants, and you still give orders? If you don't understand the business, don't force it. You can't even see the first move in Landlord, and you're opening a casino. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Lin Shanjuan: The casino doesn’t even have a game called Landlord... What a niche irony.

The two of them were about to start arguing, and Lin Shanjuan had no choice but to speak out to stop them:

"This is just a game. If you like it, I'll give it to you. Why bother making a fuss?"

Sun Yuze's eyes lit up when he heard this, but Chang Lingyue wasn't happy. In his opinion, this kind of business could only be done for himself to attract gamblers. If both of them had it, wouldn't that make any difference?

"No! You can only give it to me!"

The tone of his command was too arrogant. Lin Shan looked at him with a tired smile, but his eyes were actually fixed on his fragile neck.

It's hard to deal with him openly, but killing him at night is a piece of cake. He's so bossy, how can he learn his lesson without suffering a little?

Ye Xi immediately noticed her dangerous look and quickly stopped her: "Even Duke Sui should have a calm conversation with Lin Si. Aren't you being too presumptuous?"

Ye Xi brings a much greater sense of oppression to people than Ye Lang, simply because in terms of military achievements, Ye Xi is far ahead of others, and in terms of prestige in the army, he also far exceeds Ye Lang.

It was just because she was granted the title of princess that she no longer had the possibility of becoming a general, so she could only follow her father into battle.

No one dared to mess with Ye Xi's name in Nanman, and if it was in Jingguo, anyone would have to think twice before bringing bad luck upon themselves.

Everyone knows how important a role such a princess plays. Which ruler would not like to have a high-end chess piece who is good at fighting but has no real power or military authority?

Besides, Ye Xi's character is well-known for being upright and humble, so even if Ye Xi teaches these two young masters a lesson now, Duke Sui will not say a word.
