Chapter 405: Calm as Lin Lang
It was already spring, but the night in Ma'an City was still chilly.
One mile away from the east gate of the city, there are continuous eaves, but there are not many families. There are warehouses built by major warehouses, and some warehouses built by landlords specifically for renting to merchants.
There are not people here, but most of the major commercial banks send people to guard the warehouse.
Most of these people are ordinary people. In addition to transporting goods, they also need to prevent fire and theft. However, they gather here. Those businesses are very powerful in Ma'an City, and there are evil dogs in their warehouses, so no one dares to come here to steal things.
Only once every once in the night is the time for someone to patrol. When it is quiet late at night, it is as quiet as in the mountains.
A warehouse on the edge of the mountain is far away from the main road, surrounded by other warehouses, only separated by a small road with carriages.
Suddenly, several black shadows appeared beside the wall of the warehouse, and two black shadows watched the wind at the corners of the wall. The other few were lying beside the wall, one of them stepped on the shoulders of two of them. The two below stood up and reached out to lift the man above to higher.
The one above climbs up the wall.
The man lay on the gun and watched carefully. There was no one or a dog. He whispered a few words to the two people below.
The two people below took the ladder again, and the one on the wall pulled the man up, then slipped down the wall and entered the fence.
He lay on the top of the wall, caught the few black things thrown up, turned around and sent the things into the wall.
Finally, I ran a few steps outside the wall, stepped up the wall, and climbed up the wall with my hands on the wall, then slipped down the wall, and entered the wall. The one on the wall was still left on the wall.
The one who had just slipped down the wall whispered to the one who came in: "Move quickly!"
They held a few round things, separated the two ends, threw the things on the doors and windows, and threw the two upper roofs. The fragrance of oil was filled with the wall.
Suddenly, two swishes, and before they could even ignite the fire, they groaned almost at the same time, so soft that they were on the ground.
The muffled groan was extremely low, and it was still very harsh in the late night when even the sound of insects could be heard a mile away.
"The fourth brother, the fifth brother, what's wrong?" the one on the wall asked in a low voice.
The answer to him was also a sound of breaking through the air.
"Ah~" He was not as miserable as the two people inside the wall.
The two people inside the wall seemed to be gnawed by countless insects. The people were sober, but they couldn't even move their fingers or shouted out.
The one on the wall, the same pain, can still relieve the pain slightly with rolling and screaming.
His screams tore through the tranquility of the night sky. The barking of dogs in the warehouse area was scattered.
Seeing that Feng and the others knew something was wrong, they didn't dare to save people, so they ran away. Unfortunately, they had just taken the first step and made two more sounds. They also began to roll and scream on the ground.
Screams, barking of dogs, and the voices of guards in other warehouses were alarmed.
…………
After dawn, the government office finally sent someone to come. Lin Lang came out of the warehouse and stretched his body. Seeing Cong Xin coming, he smiled and said, "Why is it so lively."
The people in the government couldn't speak at once. The screams of those people were already hoarse, and one of them could only hum and couldn't even scream.
But seeing that the people who were knocked down couldn't help but sweat and their faces were ferocious, they all shivered in their hearts. This is not the first time that local business companies have dealt with foreign provinces in Ma'an City.
But this time, everyone knew that this foreign great magician businessman was not so easy to bully.
The leader took two steps: "Your Excellency, who are these people?"
Lin Lang glanced lightly: "I don't know. Hey, why is it smelling so good? Is anyone cooking?"
"Your Excellency, these people broke into your warehouse and poured oil..."
"So, do they want to speculate on warehouses?" Lin Lang said with a smile.
"...Your Excellency, they may be trying to induce fire in your warehouse. You may have offended someone." I know what happened. But the people in the government would not say it.
Lin Lang also knew what was going on, but he couldn't say it out loud, because it was useless to say it.
"The people I offend are usually dead," he said with a smile. "Because I never leave any hidden dangers."
Now in the city of Ma'an, who doesn't know that this young man is a great magician. The government can pretend not to know, but cannot deceive himself that this man is harmless. That will be fatal.
This is a grudge between those merchants. If it were the past, it would be enough to be more powerful. But now one side has a strong force and the other side has a strong force.
Before bringing people from the government, Shangguan called out: "We must deal with it impartially and have reasonable evidence."
The subtext is that the merchants make trouble, and they make trouble. As long as they are not out of line, their government will be unbiased.
"You are living in the warehouse last night, did you see and hear what you heard?"
"No, I'll sleep all night."
Lin Lang didn't care about them, and went to see the place where the oil was thrown, and said with a smile: "It seems that the security in Ma'an City is still very good. The thieves know that your government is very good at handling cases. They are afraid that you will find out if you steal things, so they dare not steal things, but they dare to set fire."
The official's face was embarrassed: "We have collected evidence and will find out the behind-the-scenes commander as soon as possible. If you have any evidence, you can also provide it to us..."
"I don't know anything." Lin Lang shook his head. "You take the person away. He cried and shouted, it's bad luck!" The man opened his mouth, wanting to ask him to help a few people who were about to set fire to lift the ban, but he couldn't say it. Since Lin Lang didn't know anything, he clearly didn't plan to let those people go.
He was silent for a while, and finally said: "Those suspects cannot ask questions in this way. Only when they calm down can we ask them for questions."
If those people continue like this, they may not be able to survive tonight.
Lin Lang didn't seem to understand: "It seems that they have an acute illness, so let's wait until they get better before asking about the case."
The man had to take the people back to the city, thinking that the screams of those people were harsh and that they could block their mouths. They were trapped with ropes. They wanted Lin Lang to return to the yamen together, but Lin Lang didn't even mean to report the case.
What is his name for bringing people back? Just like to civilians, he asked Lin Lang to follow him back obediently?
Thinking too much!
So the people in the yamen could only leave with their tails stomped.
Everyone left, Cong Xincai said: "Young Master Lin, you..."
Lin Lang didn't plan to hear what he said, and asked him: "You contacted Chema yesterday, but you didn't contact him either."
"Cong is incompetent!"
"Someone is so capable." Lin Lang smiled and waved his hand. "This is someone who wants to suffocate me to death on this batch of goods."
Now someone wants to burn this batch of goods, but he wants to transport them away, but he can't find a team of chariots.
If a normal person is, I'm afraid he can only beg for mercy from those people.
But Lin Lang is definitely not a normal person. Because he is not a person from this world at all.
"If you can't find someone to help, don't look for it. I don't plan to go out for a walk today. Just teach me how to imitate Gui."
