Looking at the hemp rope in front of him, Chen Tian finally showed fear in his eyes.

Everyone is afraid of death and greedy for life. Even if he once claimed that he could give up his life for the sake of the prince's great cause, he really regretted and feared when this moment came.

Outside the cell across the door, Li Ling looked at him calmly: "How about it, can't you do it? Do you need me to let someone in and help you?"

These words made Chen Tian's body tremble even more suddenly, and his voice was also full of trembling: "Li Ling, do you really want to kill me at all costs? Are you not afraid of the prince's revenge afterwards?"

"I and the prince have long been in the same situation. What's the big deal about this? Moreover, since you are the most important money-loan God of Wealth, you are the goal of getting rid of me. Keeping you will cause endless troubles, so you should go on the road with peace of mind."

"I can tell you the many industries I have, even the deposited ones, to you... I just want you to spare me..." At this time, Chen Tian was still making the final efforts and wanted to use the property in his hands to buy his life

But what was received was Li Ling's sneer: "Silver and property are just external things, so who is life important? And I don't even look down on your little money at all. Okay, the time is over. If you drag it on and refuse to leave with dignity, then the official will have to help you with dignity."

With his movements, the two confidants behind him had already stepped forward and wanted to open the prison door and go in to help each other. Chen Tian's body trembled again, and then shouted: "Slow down! There is no need for others to do anything!"

After saying that, he picked up the hemp rope, stepped onto the stool, stood on tiptoe, and hung it onto the beam of the house. After hesitating again, he looked at Li Ling who was silent outside, then he turned his heart, closed his eyes, and put his head into the ring under the rope.

However, before finally kicking the stool down, he still shouted: "Li Ling, you will definitely pay the price for this. Prince... Prince will definitely not let you go!" After the words, the stool fell down.

Chen Tian struggled in the air, and the rope was shaken. But whether it was this carefully prepared hemp rope or the cell beam above, it was extremely strong, and no matter how hard he struggled, there was no possibility of breaking. So, after a while, his painful struggle finally stopped, his hands and feet were stained straight, and his head was drooping from the other end of the rope ring, but he was officially dead.

A prestigious generation of great merchants and charity in Suizhou City were highly valued in front of the prince. He earned a large amount of silver for the prince over the years. Chen Tian, ​​who was named the God of Wealth, finally died under this hemp rope that only cost two cents.

Before his death, another "God of Wealth", his brother Chen Yuan, also chose to hang himself under the forced force of the government. In this regard, the most important arm that the prince put outside, and the "God of Wealth" who was loyal and loyal to make money was completely eliminated!

His arm is broken!

It was not until Chen Tian hung his feet and had a cup of tea in the air and no longer even swayed that Li Ling waved his hand and asked someone to go in to check and confirm his death. Then he turned around and ordered: "When the message came out, he said that the Shen family had colluded with the Luotian Sect in the morning and asked the local government of Suizhou to confiscate all his property, and there must be no omission."

The subordinate behind him quickly agreed, but then asked, "Why do you want someone to ask about the evidence of the crime?" After all, the Shen family has a very good reputation outside. Now that people are raiding their houses, they have to give a reasonable explanation to the outside world.

"Isn't it enough to explain the problem?" Li Ling said after saying that, "Also, before that, the Shen family kept transporting grain to various places in Huguang and rushing the prices of grain in various places before the government. This is enough to prove that their plan is wrong, which is the evidence of the Luotian Sect's confusion of Huguang!"

When they thought about it carefully, when the Baiyitang people reported this matter, Li Ling was just a little surprised. Now, when they contacted their identity, they had already revealed their strength in the morning.

Although the Shen brothers were successfully dealt with and had open reasons to confiscate their property, Li Ling also knew that he might not be able to copy out the assets of the real "God of Wealth". In this way, there was still some shortcomings for the government. It was time to take advantage of this momentum to talk to the wealthy businessmen in Huguang and squeeze out more oil and water from them.

At this moment, Li Ling, who returned to the yamen, asked his subordinates to send messages to gather the owners of wealthy merchants from all over Huguang, such as the Hu family, the Fan family, etc. to Wuchang to meet him. It was time to settle the accounts after autumn!

Before, these guys took advantage of the disaster and used low buying and high selling methods to seize the people's land and property, and they really made a fortune. Moreover, at that time, they thought they were colluding with the government and became more and more unscrupulous. They were only willing to give the people some food to live, and they took away all the land and property that they had worked hard for generations and thought they were living. It was really like robbery.

If Li Ling hadn't been ordered to come, Huguang would have been starved and victims everywhere. At that time, if there were people from the Luotian Sect who were motivated from the side, Huguang would have been filled with smoke and rebels.

It can be said that the evils committed by these short-sighted and greedy guys are too deep. If they are not allowed to bleed, how can the public be resentful? How can the latecomers learn from their lessons?

Just so happened that the Cai family in Fancheng and the family's family in Suizhou were used to kill the chicken and intimidate the monkeys. Li Ling wanted to use this to attack the Huguang households so that they could double the benefits they had swallowed before.

This may be the last thing Li Ling has to do when he comes to Huguang. After all, August is now late, and this year is about to pass soon, and it is time to set off and return to the capital.

However, the matter of Li Ling's return to the capital has not been decided yet - it will take more than ten days for those wealthy families from other prefectures to come to Wuchang - someone came to the capital first.

The person who came naturally was from the prince, and it was the brothers Liu Suiyun and Liu Suifeng who had negotiated with Li Ling at the beginning.

The two of them also felt that they were too miserable. They were originally two of the two princes, but they really had a bright future. But because of the failure of several plans, they were robbed of their position by Mr. Mo, who had just recently defected to the prince. Now, their brothers have become special errands.

I went to Northern Xinjiang before, but this time I came to Huguang again. And I always pleaded with Li Ling in a passive situation, which was really hard to death.

Although they felt uncomfortable, at least the momentum they showed on their faces was still unwilling to be weak. After seeing Li Ling, they first examined it, and then said: "Congratulations to Lord Li, this time, I have solved a major crisis for the court. I think you will have to be promoted again when you return to Beijing. It is really a future that is limitless."

"Haha, you two are too proud. You came here to take the order of the prince again? Just say anything, just say it." Li Ling said with a slight smile, but he even had the intention of greeting them and writing a superficial article.

This made the two of them look darker again. Li Ling's performance clearly did not take them seriously. This is something that has not been seen in many years. Even the local governor of the Central Court of the Court would at least show his closeness and friendship on the surface when he knew that the two were confidants of the prince. How could he, a fourth-rank official, dare!

But when they met Li Ling's sharp eyes, the anger in their hearts quickly faded away. This person was indeed something they could not afford to offend. This guy dared to anger the prince in person, and would he care about the two subordinates of the Eastern Palace who didn't even have an official position?

After looking at each other and calming down his emotions, Liu Suifeng said: "Since Lord Li is so quick and easy, we will not hide it. We have indeed come on the order of the prince. As for the purpose, I think you should know too. As long as you hand over the Shen brothers to us, everything else will be easy to discuss. What do you want, just mention it!"

As early as after Shen Yuan was taken down by Li Ling, the news had been quickly transmitted back to the capital. When the prince heard that something happened to his important arm, the "God of Wealth", he naturally had to find a way to rescue him.

At first, he thought about using the power of the court to force Li Ling to submit, but as news came that Shen Tian was also "invited" to Wuchang by Li Ling, and after knowing that this matter was related to the Luo Tian Sect and other traitors, the prince quickly gave up the idea of ​​saving people from the court and sent the Liu brothers to Wuchang, hoping to save the two of them through the exchange of certain benefits.

In fact, until this time, whether it was the prince or the Liu brothers, they didn't believe that Li Ling had the courage to kill the two Shen brothers so quickly.

Then at this moment, they heard the answer that shocked them: "I'm sorry, you two are still one step late. Shen Tian and Shen Yuan were guilty of being guilty and were seriously guilty, so they committed suicide in prison for fear of crime and hanged them two days ago. If you want to, I can hand over their bodies to you."

"What did you say?" The two of them shouted without caring about each other's identity, staring at Li Ling, and couldn't believe what they heard.

"Don't I understand enough? The two of them are dead, and you can give them the bodies."

The hall suddenly fell into a strange silence. The Liu brothers' breathing continued to be heavy, and their eyes were filled with astonishment and anger. They wished they could pounce on and bite off two pieces of Li Ling's meat. How could he dare to kill the Shen brothers?

"Okay, okay!" After a while, Liu Suiyun suddenly said loudly, "Mr. Li is indeed amazing. I really didn't expect it. I feel admired. But there is something I want to remember!"

"You said." Li Ling was still as moving as a mountain, and looked at the other person with a smile.
