Volume 1 The Wind Rises Blue Episode 27 Confession! Banquet!
"Village chief?" After hearing this, everyone looked towards the entrance of the village.
"You are busy with your work, don't be lazy!" Lin Wei shouted as he headed towards the entrance of the village.
"You guys keep moving, I'll go take a look!" Meng San was not to be outdone and hurried towards the entrance of the village.
"Village Chief! Lord Pan Feng!"
"Village Chief! General Pan!"
From a long distance apart, the two of them began to greet each other warmly, then stretched out their legs and trotted in front of Lin Du and the other two.
"Village Chief, our houses will be completed today! Master Wang brought a batch of precious wood a few days ago, and our Xiaolin Village has built forty fine round chairs these days!" Lin Weibu
But his weathered face couldn't hide the smile.
"Village Chief, some of the materials brought back by Director Wang have been counted and placed in various newly built warehouses, and they are tightly guarded!" Meng Sanye said hurriedly.
"Thank you for your hard work, you two!" Lin Du said with a smile on his face.
After following the two men around Xiaolin Village, Lin Du was very satisfied and called Lin Wei and Meng San to his courtyard to discuss matters.
"You should have heard some of my recent rumors." Lin Du took a sip of tea and looked at the two of them with a smile.
Their expressions instantly became dull!
Is it true? How many days had Lin Du left? He opened a bank, forced Zhang Gaoyi to sell his property at a low price, and escaped overnight! He also spent tens of thousands of taels of silver on those who were framed by Zhang Gaoyi!
When people passing by discussed the news this afternoon, neither of them believed it. They didn't believe that someone would do such a stupid thing, and they didn't associate Lin Du with their village chief!
I heard from villagers in other villages that he was a big shot from other forces, but they would never associate it with their own village chief! Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Lin Du!
"I should have very little time to go back to Xiaolin Village in the future. If you have anything to do, just report it to Master Wang. You can also come directly to Sanshi Town to find me!"
"You have managed Xiaolin Village very well these days while I am away. From now on, the old village chief will be the main one, with Meng San assisting. I believe that the two of you will work together to make Xiaolin Village prosperous!"
"Now in Sanshi Town, no one will dare to harm Xiaolin Village without opening their eyes. I want to take away the 120 guardsmen!"
"You can recruit ten more people to form a village garrison! The required money can be withdrawn from the king's bookkeeper! If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, you can also go to him directly!"
After another explanation with the two men, they stayed in Xiaolin Village for two days. Early on the third day, Lin Du and Pan Feng led more than a hundred people, 20,000 taels of silver, 2,000 taels of gold, and purchased soldiers and armor.
The equipment is gone!
As for the old and inferior weapons obtained by Heifeng Village, they were left in the village.
The morning sun rises slowly, casting golden light over a group of people!
Lin Wei looked at Lin Du's leaving figure, stunned, and sighed in his heart, Lin Du, this latent dragon, was finally going to ride on the wind!
... ... ...
At this time, Fengling City and the Cold Snake Sect!
In a secret room, five people were sitting on futons!
"A disciple sent information that Zhang Gaoyi is dead and his head is hanging in Sanshi Town!" A middle-aged man with a horse face on the left said in a urn voice.
"Then, has the matter of the Lingshi Mine been leaked?" The old man on the right, with a stooped waist, a face full of grooves, and sunken eye sockets, asked hoarsely.
"I heard he's from a big place!" A young man with a vain expression next to the old man said with a smile.
"Oh? I'm from a big place. I wonder what the kids from a big place are like, haha!" A beautiful woman opposite the young man said with a smile.
"Okay! No matter whether he has discovered the spirit stone vein or not, or whether he is a powerful person, he will not be able to mine it in a short time!" A middle-aged Taoist leader said expressionlessly.
"Elder Xueyan, go get close to that Lin Du and find out the truth!"
"Elder Mo Chen, you go to the City Lord's Mansion to communicate with City Lord Shen and capture Sanshi Town through war! You must not arouse others' suspicion!" The middle-aged Taoist sitting at the top glanced at the middle-aged beautiful woman and the rickets.
The old man said slowly!
"yes!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
... ... ...
In these two days, Zhou Yu recruited more than 300 local warriors. With a monthly payment of five taels of silver, many people came to sign up every day, and Zhou Yu carefully selected more than 300 people!
Including those brought back by Lin Du, there were more than 500 people in total! They were placed in a farm of ten thousand acres, and Zhou Yu began to take charge of the training!
The day goes by quickly!
At night, the town hall is brightly lit and extremely lively!
The bandits in Heifengzhai were annihilated, the disturbance caused by Zhang Gaoyi's escape was quelled, and Zhang Gaoyi's body was recovered!
All these things can be regarded as Han Guang's political achievements, and Han Guang himself comes from a big family. With such achievements, promotion will only happen sooner or later!
So the commanders and deputy commanders of the guard army who originally ignored the guards and defied the rules now received Han Guang's invitation and went there one after another with great enthusiasm!
Once Han Guang is promoted and the position of guarding Sanshi Town becomes vacant, then Ding Yan, as the commander, will definitely be able to take over this position through some operations through his uncle's relationship!
And Wu Zheng, the deputy commander who is Ding Yan's confidant, will also become the commander of the Sanshi Town Guards!
"Congratulations, Lord Guard! Sanshi Town is now stable and prosperous, thanks to Guard Han!" Ding Yan laughed heartily and raised a bottle to toast Han Guang!
"Yes! Master Han, congratulations!" Deputy Commander Wu Zheng also beamed with joy and toasted to Han Guang!
Just as the three of them were drinking and chatting happily, the housekeeper ran up to Han Guang and whispered in his ear!
When Han Guang heard this, his eyes flashed! Then he stood up and asked Ding Yan and Wu Zheng to continue eating and drinking, while he went to greet them!
Ding Yan and Wu Zheng looked at each other and felt strange, who else in Sanshi Town was worthy of being personally welcomed by the guard?
After a while, Han Guang walked in with a handsome young man and a strong man as tall as an iron tower!
"Who is this?" Ding Yan's eyes narrowed!
"Hahaha! Let me introduce you to the two commanders. This is Mr. Lin, the shopkeeper of Lin's Bank. Next to him is Pan Feng, the strong man who killed the leader of Heifeng Village!" Han Guang was also very high-spirited at this time!
With Lin Du's support behind him, he is now gradually gaining confidence.
"Commander Ding, Commander Wu! I have admired you for a long time!" Lin Du greeted the two of them with a smile.
Ding Yan just nodded politely and didn't pay too much attention. He thought he was a well-known young master. It turned out that he was just a businessman, a wealthy businessman at most. But as long as he became a guard, he was not at his own mercy.
Well!
"Yeah!" Ding Yan nodded slightly, full of arrogance!
When Pan Feng, who was behind Lin Du, saw this, he frowned and snorted coldly! He was suppressed by an aura!
Suddenly, Ding Yan felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast, with thorns piercing his back! His face turned grim, and he glanced at Pan Feng coldly!
Lin Du looked at this scene calmly with a smile on his face, and then took his seat!
At this time, Ding Yan was already unhappy. Due to Han Guang's face, he had to endure it!
After three drinks and five dishes, a plain voice came out from Han Guang's mouth!
"Ding Yan, the commander of the Sanshi Town Guards, has an organizational structure of 1,000 people, but in fact there are only more than 600 people. What about the remaining 400 people, are they free of charge?"
"Wu Zheng, the deputy commander of the Sanshi Town Guards, secretly sold the general's weapons and made huge profits! Do you know what the crime is?"
