Chapter 174 Its quite sudden

Suddenly, a small inspector from the Ninth Rank Mudu Inspection Department appeared and took Xi Dachaofeng away in front of Governor Wei, the chief official of the border region.

Inspector Jin felt that this might be the most glorious moment of his life, at least he could brag to his grandchildren.

Although Governor Wei had 1,500 officers and soldiers in the Biao Battalion, he still watched helplessly as Xi Dachaofeng, who accompanied him on his appearance in Suzhou, was arrested.

We still need to find ways to rescue, but we cannot instruct the subordinate soldiers to forcibly rescue the suspect of "killing an official" in full view of many local officials, gentry and the son of the chief minister.

Governor Wei's goal is to retire from officialdom in a dignified way, but not by getting convicted.

The arrested Xi Dachaofeng actually prepared a lot of actions, planning to launch them the moment the governor arrived in Suzhou City.

In Xi Dachaofeng's vision, while relying on the governor to capture Lin Tailai on the spot, a comprehensive operation must also be carried out.

What we want is the effect of a storm, what we want is momentum, what we want is to be unexpected and give a big shock to the people of Suzhou.

Although Xi Dachaofeng was sent to the customs prison by Lin Tailai as soon as he got off the ship, some plans were still being implemented in an orderly manner.

After all, Xi Dachao's kneeling was too sudden, and there was no instant communication method in this era.

Some executives cannot get the news right away and still act according to the plan.

For example, Fan Yunlin, the Xu family's ancestral son-in-law, rushed to Mudu Town in person this morning to meet Fan Yuru, Lady Fan, who is from the same clan.

Now Mrs. Fan has moved her office to Mudu Town, carefully managing the new sphere of influence and presiding over the daily work of the New Wu Alliance.

Mudu Town, like Hushu Town, is a giant town in Wudi. It can be equivalent to a county seat in other places. In other words, it can only be a "town" under the strong aura of Suzhou City.

There is enough space here to temporarily accommodate Lady Fan's ambitions.

There are rumors in the world that Mudu Town is equivalent to the "betrothal gift" given to Mrs. Fan by the official Lin.

Although Fan Yunlin did not have a good relationship with Lin Tailai, he was Mrs. Fan's clan brother after all, so he still received her.

In order to avoid suspicion, Mrs. Fan chose to meet Fan Yunlin at Wangjiang Pavilion, which was open on all sides.

After the greetings, Fan Yunlin said: "I came here today because I want to be a matchmaker and arrange a good marriage with you."

Lady Fan was too lazy to reply. She only looked at her clan brother in surprise. Did she take the wrong medicine or was she possessed by a ghost?

Fan Yunlin quickly continued: "Maybe you think what I said is all lies, but you have to listen to what I have to say."

Mrs. Fan lowered her face and responded: "For the sake of your surname, Fan, I won't chase you away. But I don't want to listen to nonsense, so you'd better say a few words of human kindness."

"Listen to me first." Fan Yunlin said, "You have heard of the Xi family, a wealthy businessman in Dongting, right?

A member of the Xi family came to Xi's house and was worried about danger. He wanted to renew his relationship, but he fell in love with you.

If you are willing to agree, you can become Xi Dachaofeng's royal wife. Is there any better destination for you than this?"

Lady Fan sneered and replied: "Go and talk to Lin Tai! As long as Lin Tai can agree, I can do anything!"

Fan Yunlin immediately said: "Don't expect Lin Tai to come! Maybe from today on, there will be no Lin Tailai in Suzhou City!"

Mrs. Fan finally became serious and asked seriously: "What do you mean by this? Why can't I understand?"

Fan Yunlin said with great certainty: "Because Governor Yingtian will arrive in Suzhou City today, accompanied by Xi Dachaofeng.

Moreover, Lin Tailai will be captured by the governor today, and everything from him will be taken away!"

Mrs. Fan, who is decisive by nature, did not ask about the motive or anything, and asked directly:

"Why are you able to capture Lin Tailai today? There are many people in Suzhou City who want to capture Lin Tailai, but no one has succeeded."

In response to these questions, Fan Yunlin already had a clue and answered without thinking: "We only need three points to capture Lin Tailai!

The first is the authority of the governor. As long as the governor is determined, no one in Suzhou City can stop him.

After all, the governor is a high-ranking official in the border area, and he is many levels higher than Lin Tailai. What can Lin Tailai use to fight against him?

If Lin Tailai is convicted, there is no need for Mr. Shen to bail him out.

The second is that the incident happened suddenly, and Lin Tailai was completely unprepared. Being caught off guard, if he didn't want to rebel, he had no choice but to surrender.

The third is that the local governments and counties have no good opinion of him, and naturally they will not help him escape the crime. What awaits Lin Tailai is the fate of being put on trial!"

The news came so suddenly that Mrs. Fan pretended to be stunned for a while, her mind racing rapidly.

Fan Yunlin took the opportunity to persuade: "It is your good fortune that Xi Dachaofeng likes you now!

Under the governor's high pressure, Lin Tailai's destruction is inevitable, and it's time for you to think about yourself."

Lady Fan turned to ask: "It seems that you have been planning this for a long time. Why didn't you come to marry me until today?"

Fan Yunlin said: "Of course it is to keep it secret, to prevent leaks, and to let Lin Tailai be on guard."

"In my opinion, I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case!" Madam Fan sneered: "If that Xi Dachaofeng came to propose marriage to me early, in order to show his sincerity, he would definitely have to pay a large deposit to bribe me.

I think he is stingy and reluctant to part with the deposit, so he is stuck until today.

The little calculation in his mind is that under the pressure of the situation, I have to follow it!"

Of course Fan Yunlin knew that Fan Yuru, a member of the tribe, had a strong personality and was also good at calculations. He was very difficult to deal with and could not be easily persuaded.

So before he came, he was prepared to persuade him hard and replied: "How can you think like this? How could Xi Dachaofeng be such a stingy person?

I heard that Lin Tailai's foundation is divided into six or seven businesses, and you are just one of them.

And Xi Dachao promised that as long as you agree to the marriage, Lin Tailai's original business will be taken care of by you."

Madam Fan sneered again and said sarcastically: "Aren't you stingy? After talking for a long time, Xi Dachaofeng still has nothing to lose?

It's ridiculous to bribe me with Lin Tailai's things. Sooner or later, they will be mine.

Whenever Xi Dachaofeng uses a little of his own money to bet, I give him a high three points!"

Fan Yunlin said dissatisfiedly: "Everyone has his own style of doing things. You can't force things to be done exactly according to your heart!"

Mrs. Fan said unceremoniously: "When Lin Tailai wanted to impress me, he directly posted a map of Suzhou!

He also promised that any land I pointed out would be captured for me. How heroic this was.

In comparison, the Xi Dachaofeng you are talking about is not big at all!"

Fan Yunlin was speechless, isn't Lin Tailai using other people's things to fool you? Mrs. Fan makes such a comparison, what else can she say besides "double standards"?

As time passed, Fan Yunlin gradually lost his patience and did not want to waste time defending Xi Dachaofeng's character and pattern.

He changed his perspective and said: "It's meaningless for you to compare Xi Dachaofeng and Lin Tailai. The fact is that Lin Tailai's ship is about to sink. Why don't you jump off the ship?"

Lady Fan looked at the river view outside and asked, "So what if I don't jump off the ship?"

Fan Yunlin replied: "Didn't you notice that there were many more ships on the river today?"

Mrs. Fan was startled. She stood up and wanted to walk towards the river, but was stopped by Fan Yunlin again.

Then I heard Fan Yunlin say proudly: "They look like ordinary cargo ships, but you can't tell even if you look at them.

But let me tell you, Xi Dachaofeng’s younger brother Xi Sicheng is also in charge!

Moreover, there are still some manpower lurking two miles upstream and downstream, and you can't even see them.

I won’t say the specific number of people, but I guarantee that there will be enough advantageous manpower.”

Madam Fan questioned calmly: "Here in Mudu Town, Lin Tailai's core business is Mudu Port Customs.

And the customs is the imperial customs, how could you possibly steal it?"

Fan Yunlin replied confidently: "First, because it is the customs of the imperial court, it cannot be paralyzed! If there is any trouble, we must be gentle.

Secondly, due to the special nature of tax customs, the term of tax envoys is generally one year. The current term of the current tax envoy king is until next year!

When the king's tax envoy leaves, the customs affairs will naturally fall into the hands of those who dominate Mudu Port!"

Lady Fan questioned again: "You want to seize Mudu Town and Mudu Port with just outsiders like you?

Even Lin Tailai tried his best to seize Mudu Town, how can you be stronger than Lin Tailai?"

Fan Yunlin said: "We are not fools, of course we also have local internal support! When it is launched, we will cooperate inside and outside!

To be honest, even within your hall, there are people who have been incited to rebel.

Once everything is activated, the spheres of influence of Mudu Town and Mudu Port will change.

If you refuse to join us, wouldn’t it be a pity that you will all die together in the end?”

Having said this, Mrs. Fan became quiet again, lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

Listening to Fan Yunlin's words, he prepared at least hundreds of thugs, and then he dared to say that he had taken over Mudu Town and Mudu Port with an absolute advantage.

With Fan Yunlin's own strength, coupled with the Xi family and a certain Ying family in the town, it is entirely possible to gather hundreds of people.

Fan Yunlin was overjoyed when he saw this. This was a sign that Lady Fan was beginning to waver.

If Mrs. Fan wavered from the beginning and agreed, then Fan Yunlin would not believe it.

With Mrs. Fan's tough character, how could she give in so easily?

But after repeated persuasion, Mrs. Fan showed a wavering feeling, which meant that it was very funny.

Mrs. Fan seemed to have made up her mind and said: "I can't just listen to your words, I want others to come here to see me.

I want to hear what Xi Sicheng and Shen Xin have to say, if even this doesn't work, it means Xi Dachaofeng has no sincerity in getting married."

After Fan Yunlin thought for a while, he frowned and agreed, "I'll invite them over."

The main reason is that with the current huge advantage, I am really not afraid of Miss Fan flying.

If you can successfully convince Mrs. Fan, then it will be easier to act today.

So it's worth taking the time to give it a try. After all, this is the woman Xi Dachao favors.

A quarter of an hour later, Fan Yunlin led two people outside Wangjiang Pavilion.

One is Xi Siwei's younger brother Xi Sicheng. Today, Xi Siwei will accompany the governor, so Xi Sicheng can only take charge of the main attack point in Mudu Town.

The other one is Feng Shen Xin, the head of the Shen family in Mudu Town, who is what Fan Yunlin calls internal support.

In addition to these two people, some thugs came as guards and surrounded the pavilion to ensure that nothing was lost.

After joining Mrs. Fan and the waiters from Yitang, the pavilion was suddenly crowded with people.

Xi Dachaofeng's younger brother Xi Sicheng couldn't help but be in a trance when he saw the beauty in mourning clothes in the pavilion. Suddenly he understood why his eldest brother wanted to marry this woman.

What a pity that such a beautiful widow might become a sister-in-law.

When the three of them entered the pavilion, Fan Yunlin finished the introduction and said: "These are Xi Sicheng and Shen Xin. Both of them can testify for me. What I said is not false at all!"

Madam Fan's cold face suddenly burst into a charming smile, she walked up to Xi Sicheng and said softly:

"Now that we are neighbors in the same town, I have a few words to ask Master Xi. I don't know about you, Master Xi."

No matter what the question was, it was impossible for Xi Sicheng to answer it because a sharp dagger was pressed against his throat.

The dozen or so loyal gang leaders of Heyi Hall were well prepared and immediately rushed to the pavilion to firmly guard the already small Wangjiang Pavilion.

It wasn't that Lady Fan didn't dare to call everyone over, it was mainly because Fan Yunlin said that there were people in Heyi Hall who were being instigated to rebel, so Lady Fan only called a dozen of her closest confidants.

The guards outside the pavilion suddenly became commotion, but the opportunity was lost. Xi Sicheng became a hostage in the hands of the opponent again, and the guards did not dare to act rashly.

The Heyi Tang clerks who rushed into the pavilion also controlled Fan Yunlin and Shen Xin.

"You've lost your mind and gone crazy!" Fan Yunlin shouted angrily. He couldn't think of any reason for Fan Yuru to do this.

Even if you can't make up your mind, you should have a wait-and-see attitude, and you can't just flip the table!

Lady Fan said disdainfully: "From what you said, Xi Dachaofeng is a person with a very low bottom line and a very small structure. What can such a person accomplish?"

Fan Yun said without hesitation: "Whether Xi Dachao can succeed or not, it has nothing to do with you!

Lin Tailai is going to be destroyed anyway, and you can’t save anything!"

Lady Fan played with the dagger and responded, "What I mean is, with Xi Dachaofeng's ambition and structure, he will be in trouble sooner or later.

Therefore, marrying Xi Dachaofeng is destined to have no good results.

This has nothing to do with whether Lin Tailai is destroyed or not, Xi Dachaofeng cannot marry this person."

Fan Yunlin was really going crazy because his great advantage was now passive!

Everything was sudden, his arrival was sudden, but Mrs. Fan's sudden counterattack was also sudden.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Fan could be so decisive, using herself as bait to directly capture the thief and capture the king first.

Now that the leaders of the three main forces are in Wangjiang Pavilion, what should we do with the planned actions?

There are hundreds of troops without a leader, and there is no one to give orders, so how can they attack!

Fan Yunlin couldn't help but scolded Mrs. Fan: "At this time, Lin Tailai is probably finished!

I really can’t figure out what you are going to do! Lin Tailai is not worthy of your burial!"

Madam Fan's expression returned to her normal cold expression, and she only said one word: "Wait!"

At least before the news of Lin Tailai's attack on the street came, she dutifully guarded Mudu Town.

If Lin Tailai really goes to the street, he will do his best to obey fate and kill Xi Sicheng first.

Every time I finish writing a plot, I am anxious about what to write next. Please give me some monthly votes to stimulate my thinking!!
