Chapter 417 There is someone outside
Li Mingyang laughed when he heard Zhang Cai's words, as if someone liked to talk to him like this recently. He couldn't help secretly saying in his heart that there is no one in the second ancestor of this world who has a little brain. This color must be a junior in a big family. Of course, the so-called big family is only in the eyes of ordinary people. As long as it is in Tianren County, no family can be called a big family in front of Li Mingyang except Longtingjun.
Seeing Zhang Cai's son, Li Mingyang was too lazy to argue with him, even regardless of the aggressive Zhang Cai. He just turned his head and looked at Huang Cheng and asked, "How many spiritual stones do you owe him? Why don't you return them?"
Huang Cheng didn't know who Li Mingyang was, but after seeing Li Mingyang's eyes, he suddenly trembled and stammered, "I came to Mingyuan City a month ago to find an opportunity to do some business. Originally, I planned to rent a shop here, but the spiritual stone was not enough. At that time, I was in a hurry to grab the shop, so I asked a friend to borrow 500 top-quality spiritual stones from Mr. Zhang.
"Oh, it's just 500 top-grade spiritual stones. Why don't you return it?" Li Mingyang subconsciously asked. Although Li Mingyang doesn't know how to do business, he can also think of it. It must be because of the special situation in Tianren County. People with a little vision want to come here to grab some prime positions. Huang Cheng is also a cruel person. I guess he is really reluctant to miss this opportunity, even if he borrows the spirit. The stone is going to be dry.
However, his subconscious words made the people present stunned. The 500-grade spiritual stone seems to be just a small number in his mouth. You know, this is 50,000-grade spiritual stone. Huang Cheng couldn't react for a while. Li Mingyang asked again before he said, "I borrowed the 500-grade spiritual stone. On the seventh day after borrowing it, someone came to my family to send the spiritual stone, but Mr. Zhang He received 500 top-grade spiritual stones but asked me for interest. I've only borrowed it for seven days. He actually asked me for 500 pieces of top-grade spiritual stones. I didn't have so many spiritual stones to return, but he* every day. Now the shop has also been robbed by him and he still wants me to pay back the interest. I can't even go home now. Their people won't let me out of Mingyuan City at all.
Li Mingyang knew what was going on after hearing this. He was also a person who climbed out from the bottom. Naturally, he knew what usury was, but when he heard about this, Li Mingyang had to sigh that Zhang Cai's usury was too much. Thinking of this, Li Mingyang said to Huang Cheng, "When Tianren County is stabilized, friends from all over the world are welcome to do business here. This kind of thing will not happen again."
Then Li Mingyang said to Zhang Cai naturally, "Return the shop to others and don't do such a thing in the future. Mingyuan City needs to develop. It's your ability to make trouble no matter how much you like outside the city. If you want to be honest in the city, just give me."
Seeing Li Mingyang talking to Zhang Cai so carelessly, Huang Cheng's eyes seemed to protrude. He subconsciously thought that Li Mingyang might also be a son of the clan. Thinking of the sophistication of his armor, he guessed that his cultivation might not be low. I guess he didn't pay attention to Zhang Cai, an unlearned prince. However, thinking of the situation in Tianren County, Huang Cheng still smiled bitterly and said to Li Mingyang, "Thank you very much. Don't participate in this matter. After all, this is Tianren County, the territory of the ghost king.
Huang Cheng's words have not been finished, but he has obviously revealed his idea. This is the territory of the ghost king. Zhang Cai is a son of an orthodox aristocrat in Tianren County anyway. If he is beaten because of this kind of thing, this matter will definitely be a big deal.
When he heard Huang Cheng's words, Li Mingyang suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay. It's because this is Tianren County that I can't allow such people to run rampant."
"Hahaha, did I hear it wrong, son of a bitch, are you sure you're talking to?" Zhang Cai laughed and pointed to Li Mingyang. Although he also knew that his cultivation was not high and that the other party might be a master, he deliberately let his men get out of the way. He pointed to Li Mingyang and said, "I want to see. I'm rampant here. What can you do with me?"
Everyone looked at Li Mingyang curiously. After all, the people around him can see the story clearly. Zhang Cai is also very clear about who he is. Seeing that Li Mingyang just wanted to do good deeds but was questioned by Zhang Cai, some people began to complain about Li Mingyang, and some people were secretly excited to see the heat. It's noisy, but no one dares to say anything.
Li Mingyang did not hesitate at all. He walked straight forward, grabbed his palm fiercely, and steadily grabbed Zhang Cai's head and threw it to the ground. Li Mingyang didn't even use his strength, but he had made Zhang Cai make a sound of killing pigs.
Zhang Cai's men were about to come forward when they saw the situation, but suddenly they heard an angry shout not far away and saw a team of monks coming this way.
Li Mingyang smiled and said, "It's really lively today."
A group of monks hurried around two middle-aged monks and saw two middle-aged monks walking in the center. Everyone around them were shocked. The two were the Viscount Song of Mingyuan City and the famous Count Deng Lin nearby.
As a count, Deng Lin naturally knows the problems facing Tianren County now. Mingyuan City, as the closest city to the stronghold, is naturally under great pressure. In fact, the monks under Deng Lin's control have been sent to the stronghold, and the troops he can control now are not even as good as this Viscount Zhang Song. However, after all, his identity was there, and Zhang Song always gave Deng Lin to the central position after the appearance of the two.
Deng Lin came to inspect the city defense of Mingyuan City this time. When he was about to leave, he happened to see a disturbance here, so he came over to see. Zhang Songzheng was angry about who caused trouble and slapped himself in the face at this time. However, after walking in and seeing that the screaming young man on the ground was actually his son, he suddenly became furious and forgot that there were more Count Deng Lin roared directly beside him, "Who hurt my son!"
Deng Lin couldn't help frowning when he saw Zhang Song being so arrogant, but naturally understood that his son had been beaten, and it was not convenient to put on the count's air to scold Zhang Song.
"I hit it." As soon as Zhang Song shouted a word, Li Mingyang said coldly.
Zhang Song saw that the "murderer" confessed his guilt so knowingly, sneered and directly ordered, "Take it down and bring him back to the Viscount's mansion. I will try him well."
Deng Lin was still laughing at Zhang Song's character, but when he saw the "murderer", he was stunned and even surprised that even the smile on his face was stiff there. Zhang Song did not realize the strangeness of Deng Lin, and justice angrily called people to arrest Li Mingyang.
Li Mingyang casually hit a few blind guys and pointed to Zhang Cai on the ground and said, "Is Tianren County the place for you to come here? Mingyuan City was handed over to you to keep you stable, but as a viscount, he actually made usury in the city? Huh?"
Zhang Song didn't expect that the boy in front of him dared to tell him the truth. Suddenly, he was furious and immediately wanted to do it. Zhang Cai also cursed on the ground. If he hadn't been thrown too badly just now, he would have wanted to do it by himself immediately with the support of his own viscount father. He didn't believe it. Come on, boy.
Huang Cheng's legs were weak as soon as he saw the viscount and the count appear together. When he saw that the viscount wanted to deal with Li Mingyang himself, he looked even more bitter. In the end, he gritted his teeth fiercely and rushed up to help Li Mingyang block the viscount.
But before Huang Cheng could leave and Zhang Song could not take a step, Deng Lin, who was stunned, suddenly recovered. He immediately stepped forward and slapped Zhang Song's face fiercely. Suddenly, people saw a blood flash. People with good eyesight even saw that Zhang Song's cheeks had been deformed, and then lay heavily on the ground. But it was not over yet. Deng Lin rushed to Zhang Song as if he was crazy.
Zhang Cai, who was beside him, was finally dumbfounded and didn't dare to say more. Others looked at Deng Lin with a dull face. They didn't know why the count suddenly beat a viscount in public. You know, that's his subordinate. Aren't you afraid of beating people in this way?
Li Mingyang was stunned first, then understood and slowly stepped forward to pull Deng Lin. Deng Lin has been paying attention to Li Mingyang's movements. After being pulled by Li Mingyang, he immediately turned around and knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty's atonement is that I don't know people. I'm wrong to use this pine by mistake."
"King...Your Majesty?" Hearing Deng Lin's words, everyone present was completely stunned, many times more surprised than when they saw Deng Lin beating people before.
"Prince? Deng Lin is the count of Tianren County. Isn't the prince in his mouth the rumored ghost king Li Mingyang? Huang Cheng finally kept his mind awake, but after understanding this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Mingyang doesn't like this kind of attention, let alone the feeling of people kneel down to him. I guess he added something to his voice. He said coldly, "Stand up and talk about it later."
Then he looked at Deng Lin and said, "Do you know me?" After saying that, he scolded himself for talking nonsense. Naturally, the person who can be a count is a monk who has made great contributions in the war. Even if he hasn't really got along with him, how can he not seen himself in the camp?
Deng Lin didn't dare to say that Li Mingyang was talking nonsense and immediately explained, "I was originally a subordinate of Grand Duke Li Hong."
Li Mingyang was finally relieved. So it seemed that this was his real person. Although Li Hong only brought more than 10,000 people when he helped him fight, it was already all the family he could take away at that time. At that time, when the whole world thought that he would be killed by the King of Shu, Li Hong took people to Jingshan Town to save people. Based on this, Li Mingyang regarded Li Hong as a real friend. After the Tianren County, because of the ridiculous size of his territory, Li Mingyang himself used the aristocratic title that other princes in the Central Plains did not use - the Duke.
Because in fact, the original princes of the Central Plains were all divided dukes, and finally gradually monopolized a county. For the sake of prestige, they all called themselves princes, but because their first generation of nobles were dukes, although they later called themselves princes, they were only marquises. Li Mingyang doesn't care about this. He is equivalent to sitting in three counties. If there is only a marquis, it is not convenient to have a duke. But now there is only one duke in Tianren County. Li Hong's direct troops are extremely proud of this duke, so they like to call Li Hong the Grand Duke.
"Is this color also under Brother Li Hong's command?" Li Mingyang has always been his own way, and he only calls Li Hong the eldest brother at any time.
Deng Lin was immediately moved when he heard that Li Mingyang still called the Grand Duke the eldest brother, but he immediately said respectfully, "This color is not under the Grand Duke, but the former monk of Changyun County."
Li Mingyang understood as soon as he heard it. It turned out that Zhang Song was not Li Hong's direct line. Thinking of this, he said directly, "There are still foreign enemies in Tianren County now. Internal stability is the most important. This kind of person is not suitable to take charge of one party again. You can just wait to report this matter to Brother Li Hong."
Deng Lin nod respectfully and was waiting for Li Mingyang to reprimand him a few more words, but he found that Li Mingyang had gone to appease Huang. Seeing this, Deng Lin couldn't help smiling. It seemed that he was really scared. Lord Ghost King would never show off in front of his men.
This happened. The whole Mingyuan City knew that Lord Ghost King came here in person. If it hadn't been for Deng Lin's immediate order, there might have been a scene of tens of thousands of empty alleys in Mingyuan City. After dealing with all this, Deng Lin finally found an opportunity to ask, "Your Majesty, are you here for those thieves?" Deng Lin also knew that there was no need to pretend to be stupid in front of Li Mingyang, and it was better to say whatever he thought.
Sure enough, Li Mingyang nodded directly and said, "I just wanted to see how the city defense here is, and then take people out to suppress bandits." Seeing Deng Lin suddenly feel guilty, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, we fought together in Xiliang County. Don't think too much when you see me. No one can guarantee that your subordinates will be strong. Anyway, at least the city defense here is not bad..."
Hearing Li Mingyang's words, Deng Lin finally relaxed. You should know that Li Mingyang is easy-going, but after all, he is the hegemon of Tianren County. As a monk who followed him in the battle between the south and the north, Deng Lin knew very well how horrible this beautiful-looking young man was. At this time, he could still be praised by the ghost king. Deng Lin said secretly, "I finally didn't humiliate the prince."
Li Mingyang just wanted to praise Deng Lin for a few words, but suddenly a whistle rushed in and said, "Your Majesty, there is someone who wants to come in to find you."
Deng Lin just wanted to reprimand the sentry, but suddenly saw a man rushing in outside the door. Deng Lin subconsciously wanted to stand in front of Li Mingyang, but after seeing the visitor's face clearly, he immediately changed his color and said, "Lord Yan."
The person who came was Yan Kuo. Although Yan Kuo didn't know Deng Lin, he still nodded to him politely, and then smiled directly to Li Mingyang and said, "Mingyang, someone is coming outside."
