Chapter Thirteen If the first plan fails, try the second plan
It was very noisy in the pavilion. Everyone was eating food and admiring the beauty of the lake. They all looked very comfortable.
Qin Lingsi wore a veil and sat at the table by the window. She glanced gloomily at the faces of every customer, wishing she could chop a knife into every smiling face.
She hadn't said a word for half an hour, and none of the bandits around her dared to talk to her, and they all looked out the window absentmindedly.
"Monkey, isn't it beautiful here? You look so happy!" Qin Lingsi suddenly smiled and asked a bandit.
The monkey knew that his second village leader would show this kind of smile when he wanted to kill someone. He shuddered and said: "Second girl, I...I don't..."
Qin Lingsi snorted and said coldly: "Let me ask you, where is this place?"
Seeing that her tone turned cold, Monkey relaxed and said hurriedly: "This is a restaurant!"
"No!" Qin Lingsi slapped the table and said coldly: "This is the most famous building in Jiangdu, Wangchun Tower!"
"Yes...yes..."
Monkey wiped his sweat and smiled, thinking, isn't the first floor a restaurant?
Qin Lingsi gritted her teeth and said, "This is the most prosperous place in Jiangdu. Why doesn't anyone talk about the rumors we spread?"
The monkey smiled bitterly and said nothing. How could he, a little bandit running errands, predict the development of things?
A bandit nicknamed "Mountain Boar" said: "Second girl, I remember hearing people talking about rumors in the first two days, but not at all in the past two days. I'm afraid someone is suppressing our rumors!" "Who do you think it could be, the government?" Qin Lingsi's face was full of murderous intent.
"It shouldn't be the government." Shanzhu shook his head: "If it was the government, there would be a lot of noise, it can't be so quiet!"
Qin Lingsi took a deep breath and said coldly: "Mountain Boar, take two people to investigate who is against us. Before sunset, no matter whether there is any result, report back!"
"Yes!" The wild boar took the two people away.
At this time, a waiter suddenly came over, looked at the empty pot of tea on the table, and said with a smile: "Guys, you guys have been drinking a pot of tea for more than half an hour. Do you want some food?" The implication is, if you don’t order, get out!
The monkey was furious and was about to start a fight. Qin Lingsi suddenly took off her veil, smiled brightly at the shopkeeper, and said in a charming voice: "Little brother, we admire you very much. You are the best in the world. Can you be accommodating?"
The shopkeeper's bones went numb when she called her "little brother". Seeing that she was extremely beautiful, he no longer felt embarrassed. After saying a few witty words to her, he became even more excited and gave the bandits free tea.
.
In fact, Qin Lingsi came out this time and brought out almost half of the village's funds. However, all the money was used to buy food, and she did not dare to waste any of it!
"Second girl, a waiter in a small shop, why are you afraid of him?" After the waiter left, Hou Hou asked doubtfully, the owner of his second village is not a good-tempered person!
Qin Lingsi glared at him: "You idiot, at what time can you cause trouble casually? How can you do anything if someone notices you?"
The monkey was scolded and became speechless.
In this way, Qin Lingsi used her charm skills to confuse the shopkeepers and made them sit in Wangchun Tower until Youshi.
"Deng Deng!"
The Shanzhus finally came back, with angry looks on their faces. When they came to the table, they whispered: "Second girl, it's the "Jin Tuantou" of the Beggar Clan who is against us!"
Jin Tuantou is the leader of the Jiangdu Beggar Clan. He also has contacts with Longtan Village on weekdays. When Longtan Village sells stolen goods, it often passes through their hands.
Qin Lingsi's eyes turned cold, she pondered for a long time, then she patted the table and said, "Let's go!"
The bandits originally thought that she was going to lead them to find Jin Tuantou to cause trouble, but unexpectedly Qin Lingsi headed east of the city.
"Second girl, where are we going?"
"Nonsense, since the rumor failed, naturally we can only use the second method, assassinate Kang Lian!"
"Aren't you going to settle the score with Jin Tuantou?"
Qin Lingsi said coldly: "There is no time to settle accounts with him. If the second plan doesn't work, we will cut off Jin Sanwang's dog's head before we leave the city!"
As soon as they entered the city, they inquired about Kang Lian's mansion, and would come here every night to keep an eye on him and prepare for the assassination. They came to an alley behind Kang Lian's mansion.
Qin Lingsi, like her sister, was forced to practice martial arts by her father since she was a child. The bandits also learned martial arts from the Qin sisters for several years, and they are all very skillful.
When it was late at night, everyone changed into night clothes.
The monkey was the first to climb up the courtyard wall, and then used ropes to pull everyone up. The group of people sneaked into Kang's house quietly.
Kang Lian had been preying on the common people for a long time and was afraid of revenge, so there were many guards in the mansion. As soon as everyone took two steps, they encountered several patrolling guards.
"Come quickly, there are thieves!"
Qin Ling Si Jiao scolded, rushed over first, raised her hand and killed one guard, then leaned back, turned around, and killed another guard with a backhand knife.
At this time, other bandits also killed the other two guards.
Hearing the rumble of footsteps, an unknown number of guards were rushing this way. Qin Lingsi hurriedly left behind the "Hundred Households" token and led everyone away.
Early in the morning the next day, as soon as Zhennan King Polo Buhua got up, he heard from his servants that Kang Lian wanted to see him and that he had something important to report that was dangerous to Jiangdu.
Polo Buhua was shocked and hurriedly summoned Kang Lian in the study.
As soon as Semuren entered the study, he knelt down on the ground in tears and shouted in Mongolian: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened, Miao Daheng is going to rebel!"
"Why did Kang Zhangshu say this? General Miao is leading the army to attack the bandits, so how can he talk about rebellion?" Polo Buhua frowned.
He is about thirty years old, fair and fat, with a bunch of hair on his forehead, like a peach, with two braids on the left and right, and a sparse beard under his chin.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Miao sent someone to assassinate a lowly official last night. This is the token left behind by the assassin. If you don't believe it, you can take a look." Kang Lian handed over the Baihu token.
Boluo Buhua took it and took a look at it, and said suspiciously: "Baihu? Who is this person?"
"They are the hundreds of households under Miao Daheng!" Kang Lian cried: "He wants to collude with the Red Scarf Army to rebel, and his humble position is his biggest obstacle, so he wants to get rid of his humble position first!"

When he heard the words "Red Scarf Army", Polo Buhua's face turned pale and he hurriedly said: "No way, General Miao personally wiped out the Red Scarf Army on Yangzhou Road last year, how could he rebel without any reason?"
Kang Lian said anxiously: "There were not many Red Scarf troops who rebelled last year, so of course he didn't dare to rebel. Now he heard that Sesame Li was going to attack Jiangdu, so he defected there!"
Boluo Buhua lost his voice and said: "Are the Xuzhou rebels going to attack Jiangdu?"
Kang Lian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, the news has been spreading in the city these days, saying that Sesame Li learned that the prime minister was leading an army to attack Xuzhou, and planned to abandon Xuzhou and go to Jiangdu!"
"What should we do?" Polo Buhua's fat face turned the color of pig liver.
"My lord, don't worry. We have a hundred thousand troops stationed on Yangzhou Road. As long as no one colludes with the Red Scarf Army, the rebels will not be able to attack at all!"
Seeing that Boluo Buhua was frightened, Kang Lian hurriedly wiped away his fake tears with a confident expression.
Bo Luo Buhua was stunned for a while and said: "I understand, you suspect that Miao Daheng is colluding with Zhima Li and intends to cooperate inside and outside?"
"You can't be wrong!" Kang Lian said bitterly: "The only person he fears is the subordinate. As long as I get rid of the minister, no one can protect the prince!"
Bo Luo Buhua calmed down and said secretly: "Kang Lian and Miao Daheng have always been at odds, so I can't believe his words." He said: "In this case, summon Miao Daheng to the palace and let him explain!"
"Your Majesty, this man is a Han, and he will rebel sooner or later. Now that the evidence is conclusive, we can just put this man in jail. Why listen to his explanation?" Kang Lian said in a hateful voice.
Polo Buhua waved his hand and said: "No matter what, we must give him a chance to explain. You don't have to say anything, please immediately send the king an order to let Miao Daheng return to the city!"
