At night, in the back hall of the Huaichuan County government, the invisible and terrifying darkness was spreading.
County Magistrate Lin had just said that he believed that all kinds of disasters would arouse people's hearts.
Now he was more and more certain of his point of view.
This person was simply … so evil that he was about to fall to the ground.
An evil plan came out of this man's mouth, which caught people off guard. He was simply a wolf in sheep's clothing …
When Sun Lang talked about his evil plan, County Magistrate Lin listened with great interest at first, as if he had opened the door to a new world. But soon, he came to his senses.
— This was a trap.
Because there was a fatal problem with Sun Lang's investment plan, which was full of the "spirit of humanism" and the "glory of socialism" …
Lin Wuying hesitated for a moment and stammered, "Sir, your so-called investment …"
Sun Lang was shocked at first, and then hurriedly clarified, "Investment means to hold the stock, not to poke a hole in the ass. Don't misunderstand."
"…" County Magistrate Lin said faintly, "I didn't misunderstand, sir. I just don't quite understand something …"
Sun Lang liked to point out the sheep who were confused in the tide of capital very much. Hearing this, he said, "Go ahead, tell me. I'll show you the way."
Lin Wuying said faintly, "You said that you want to raise the price of the divine sword and then attract people to invest in it. The promised reward is the price after selling the divine sword, right?"
Sun Lang said, "Yes, yes, we can raise the market price. We can ask that group of businessmen to help us, or we can ask the Heavenly Policy Hall to find someone to act as a moneybags and tycoons to increase everyone's confidence in the market …"
County Magistrate Lin said, "But isn't this sword what you want? How can you talk about dividends?
Can you sell it at a high price? "
Sun Lang immediately shook his head violently. "Of course not. This sword has a special meaning to me. How can I sell it?"
County Magistrate Lin began to panic. "Then, the so-called dividends …"
Sun Lang said disdainfully, "Bundles of leeks, are they worthy of asking me for dividends?
It's not worth it. "
County Magistrate Lin panicked even more. He stammered, "Then, then what about the money received from the investment …"
"Of course we're going to run away."
Sun Lang's expression was rampant. He was simply arrogant. He did not have the self-awareness of standing in front of the county's leader at all. He completely put on the appearance of an economic criminal. "Do you still expect me to return the money?
What kind of joke is this? Why should I return the money that I earned with my own abilities? "
"…" It was said so matter-of-factly that everybody was stunned. County Magistrate Lin almost jumped to his feet and asked in shock, "That is to say, you coaxed a large number of people to buy shares in the name of investing, collected their money, and used the money and their people to find the Divine Weapon for you. After the Divine Weapon is found, you will take away the Divine Weapon and the money and run away?"
Sun Lang said proudly, "Wrong, wrong, wrong. Why would I want to run? The person who can make me run hasn't been born yet!"
Empress, who had been keeping a straight face, suddenly sneered when he heard this.
Sun Lang flew into a rage out of humiliation. "What are you laughing at?
How could it be called running away when it came to loving his wife?
That's called forbearance, that's called magnanimity, that's called love! "
He wanted to explain how he had overturned the carriage and escaped that day, but County Magistrate Lin confirmed his guess and said anxiously, "This won't do!
If those Jianghu people who kill without batting an eyelid find out that they have been cheated … "
"If they find out that they have been cheated, it's your incompetence."
Sun Lang sighed. "Let's not talk about other things. Didn't those businessmen want to make Huaichuan a 5A martial arts scenic spot?
Huaichuan Instance, the place where the Divine Weapon is sleeping. Come to Huaichuan and find the Peerless Divine Weapon. I'll be waiting for you in the world of Huaichuan. Look, there's even an advertisement. "
He explained carefully, "You see, stocks can be bought and sold, stocks can appreciate, and stocks can be used to do more things. Those businessmen can take advantage of the situation and push their plans forward. Moreover, as long as those Jianghu people are not idiots, even if they find out that it's a scam, they will help to cover up the lie so that others can take over …"
He explained in detail, and the more County Magistrate Lin listened, the more his hair stood on end. How evil was this guy!
He was actually able to predict the human heart so accurately, the darkness and selfishness of the human heart. After the lies were exposed, he was able to clearly describe the actions of the victims. Moreover, he was able to make it sound reasonable and convincing, as if he had seen it with his own eyes … How could he be so skilled!
County Magistrate Lin would never agree to it. Sun Lang made it sound so easy, but when the time came, he would run away and County Magistrate Lin would still have to stay in Huaichuan. If a large group of Jianghu people here found out that they had been cheated and caused a ruckus …
County Magistrate Lin's words carried little weight, and the big boss in front of him would definitely not listen to him. Therefore, County Magistrate Lin immediately looked at Empress for help, hoping that General Tensei would help him out for Dang Guo's sake.
Empress was indeed loyal. She said lightly, "Good idea. It's very evil and has your style, but …"
The woman's eyes suddenly became sharp. She stared at Sun Lang. Senran said, "Are you hiding something important?"
Sun Lang's expression did not change. He gave her a thumbs up and said, "Given our relationship, what can I hide from you?"
"Oh?"
Empress sneered. She said directly, "Then tell me. Although your plan seems perfect, there are many problems from the beginning … For example, who do you think you are? You asked them to buy some Shenjian shares, and they paid for it obediently?
How are you going to convince them?
With your martial arts?
But when they see your martial arts, won't they be more afraid and wary of you?
If you don't show them your martial arts, how can you prove your credibility and reliability? "
Sun Lang suddenly winked at her. "You people from Tensei Province have a lot of businesses. Why don't you stand up for me?
At most, we'll split the profits fifty-fifty. "
Empress Senran said, "Bullsh * t. Do you want us to become the laughing stock of all the civil and military officials?"
Sun Lang's face was arrogant and domineering. He had not entered the capital yet, but he had already put on the airs of a powerful official. "I'll break the head of whoever dares to laugh at me!
I'll beat them in the Golden Palace!
I'll beat them in front of your father! "
"…" Tensei General said flatly, "Anyway, don't even think about it. Don't mention it again if you ruin the reputation of Tensei Province!"
Sun Lang stared at him and said, "Then send me a pigeon and call a few hundred people over. You can choose one yourself. If you can't choose, I'll choose for you."
Lin Zhengying and the henchmen were anxious, but they didn't know how to persuade them. While they were in a dilemma, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, "Reporting to — Grand Master!
Constable Xing has something to tell me! "
County Magistrate Lin was surprised. It was late at night, and the county constable was a meticulous person. If it was not a big matter, he would not disturb him.
But now Her Highness and this person were in a deadlock. After all, he was just a small county magistrate. He was not experienced and did not have the courage and experience. For a moment, he did not know what to say. He turned his head back awkwardly. Just as he was about to speak, he was shocked again. He saw Her Highness and that man looking at him with Senran faces. He was so scared that his heart was beating fast.
He said weakly, "You two …"
Empress stared at him and said, "Why are you looking at me? Didn't the constable have something to tell you?"
Sun Lang snorted, "You're a sissy who dilly-dallying."
"…" Can you still be reasonable?!
Ah?
Lin Wuying swallowed all the bitter tears back into his stomach and said with a constipated face, "Please ask the constable to come in."
After a while, a tall man with a knife came in. His body was like a bear, and his face was full of whiskers. With this kind of physique and appearance, he was indeed born to be a constable. He was very intimidating.
When he saw that there were people in the room, his wolf-like eyes swept over everyone. He was the first to notice Empress, and his face was full of surprise and greed. Then, his eyes met with General Tensei's. When their eyes met, the constable's eyes were startled. He quickly lowered his head and saluted with his hands folded. "I am Huaichuan Constable Xing Guanghong. Greetings, everyone!"
With Empress's identity, a constable was no different from a weed on the side of the road. Even the henchmen of Tensei Province obviously didn't want to pay attention to this guy. Only Sun Lang said with a smile, "Oh, you're excused. Nice to meet you."
Perhaps it was because he was used to being a tyrant in the county, but for a moment, suppressed anger flashed in the constable's eyes. Finally, County Magistrate Lin remembered that Xing Guanghong was usually diligent and obedient, so he reminded him, "These are guests from the capital … Constable Xing, why have you come to see me in the middle of the night?"
Hearing this, Xing Guanghong restrained some of his anger. He cupped his hands and said, "Sir … that monster has killed people again."
County Magistrate Lin was shocked when he heard this. He cried out involuntarily, "What, people have died again?"
Xing Guanghong nodded and said, "A group of people went into the mountains to search at night and found the bodies … There were four in total, and they died very tragically. The bodies were brought back by them. Many people in the martial arts world were alarmed and grieved for the death of the rabbit."
Lin Wuying couldn't bear to see this. He shook his head and said, "Alas … has the coroner examined the bodies?"
The constable said, "After I heard about this, I took the constables to collect the bodies. Those people had companions. At first, they didn't want to let us take the bodies away, but thanks to your authority, we brought the bodies back. After all, this is a murder case from Huaichuan. No matter what, the county has to have a record … This is what you said."
Sun Lang suddenly said, "What, that monster likes to kill people?"
At first, Xing Guanghong saw that among these "guests from the capital", only Sun Lang responded to him. Moreover, only he didn't have the arrogance of someone who had lived in a high position for a long time. Xing Guanghong even thought of him as a small fry. Hearing this, he said indifferently, "Friend, you must be joking. Which monster doesn't like to kill people?"
County Magistrate Lin shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid there is something strange about this … Alas, no matter what, we have to wait for the coroner's autopsy results."
Empress suddenly said, "Why wait for the coroner? He is the best coroner. Seeing is believing. Sun Lang, don't you want to take a look?"
Sun Lang smiled and said, "Okay, I want to see how tragic the death is."
