Chapter 374: The Last Inner Response (Part 1)

Li Ling's persuasion made Bai Xianyang very moved, but he still did not reply immediately.

I was moved because the prospects and money he described were moving enough. If the roads between the southwest and the Central Plains could be completely opened up, it would obviously be the most beneficial for businessmen like them, especially big businesses like his Bai family.

Although Bai Xianyang was humble and dared not call himself the Southwest God of Wealth, in fact, he had long considered himself the leader of the business world in the southwest. And today, due to the lack of people and poverty in the southwest, the profits that he, the God of Wealth, no longer increased. This is a problem that has troubled him in recent years.

Now the opportunity is in front of you. As long as the government can really help open the passage and build an official road that leads to the Central Plains, he believes that with his identity and ability, he will inevitably expand his own industry quickly, and thus compete with the big merchants in the Central Plains to gain several times more benefits than before!

However, Bai Xianyang did not respond to this matter at all because he had any concerns after all. He did not trust the court's subsequent policies after all. In addition, the matter of commercial taxation was not the only one who could decide. Even if he was the leader of the business world in the southwest, the matter would need to be discussed with others.

So I could only send Li Ling back first, saying that he had to make some consideration before he could give an answer. Li Ling was already satisfied with such an answer, because it meant that the other party had already moved. As long as Bai Xianyang took the lead in discussing with the merchants, I believe that with the eyes of these people, this matter would still be possible to be accomplished.

Finally, as long as the commercial tax is increased by 100% for a certainty, the tax and bank imposed by the court from the southwest will inevitably increase greatly. Not only will the errand be completed successfully, but it will also be a fixed case in the future. Such contributions will naturally be considered one of them. In addition, as long as the business is completed, the business road here will be completely opened, and you can take the lead in making the business to the southwest and earn a lot of benefits.

Thinking about it this way, this is really a great thing for both public and private affairs. How can Li Ling not be excited?

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Dingxi Army can calm the chaos in front of us as soon as possible and restore peace to the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou as soon as possible, so that everyone can focus on business.

With this thought, when Li Ling left the Bai family and walked on the street, he became more and more concerned about the situation in the city of Queensland. In more than ten days, Queensland had returned to its original appearance, and there was no military force that had been everywhere to investigate the chaos of the suspects, and the people had become stable again.

The only difference is that the number of troops patrolling the city is several more than before, but they do not affect the lives of the people. If you don’t pay attention carefully, you may not be able to discover it.

In addition, the grain and soldiers in the warehouses were mostly mobilized. As they walked along the way, Li Ling saw no less than 20 or 30 large trucks escorted by the army through the streets. It was obviously to be sent to the military camp. As soon as the time came, the baggage for the army was set off. The Dingxi Army had already prepared to set off at any time.

When he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he saw many generals entering and leaving the place, obviously coming by Xiao Ding's order and doing a series of preparations for the next counterattack. Everything was going on tense and orderly, which made Li Ling feel a little imaginative and waiting to see the army set off.

Li Ling, an outsider civil servant, didn't have much inquiries about such military affairs, so after returning to the Marquis' Mansion, he went straight back to his residence. Now it seems that before Bai Xianyang makes a decision, he really has nothing to do. As for the Yang brothers and Li Moyun, they can only stay in the yard here, discuss with each other, and pass the time.

At night, Sun Bi suddenly came to visit and brought some wine and food. He really regarded Li Ling as a friend, so even if he was busy during the day, he had to visit him at night.

Li Ling was naturally very moved by this prince's attitude, so he put aside his concerns as a prince and got along with him as a friend, drinking, talking and laughing, and having fun.

After a few glasses of wine were over, Li Ling let out more and more, and he casually said: "When I was walking around the city today, I could see that in the city of Kunming, both the military and the civilians, all of them had come out of this chaos. It seems that this incident has really completely passed, and it is time for us to fight back."

Sun Bi smiled and put a glass of wine on Li Ling, then said, "What you said is right or not. The matter seems to have been completely resolved, but in fact, my uncle and I still feel that there are still omissions."

"What do you mean?" Li Ling took a sip of the cup and asked quickly.

"We have all solved the enemy on the surface, but can we hide in the dark?"

"From the previous information, have the remnants of the Huntian Army who have been hiding in the city already run away?"

"I'm not referring to them. They may be constantly pushing the rebellion, but for Queensland, for us, the biggest hidden danger is still around us. Just think about it, to grasp the accurate movements of my uncle and steal me from this marquis' mansion, it can only be done by someone who is deeply trusted by my uncle. However, after investigations over the past few days, although people have caught a lot, they have never really taken down such an important person."

Li Ling also became solemn because of his words: "What you said is reasonable. I have thought that in order to do the previous things, there must be a guy who informed the marquis in time. This person's identity should be very good, and it was still left after the marquis left the city. So..." In a sense, this person's identity is about to emerge.

Sun Bi noticed Li Ling's thoughts and nodded: "That's it, but because we have never found conclusive evidence, we are not in a hurry to get people."

"Is it just dragging him around the marquis and has the right to command troops? If we suddenly come during the confrontation in front, our losses will be quite large." Li Ling said in surprise. With the courage of the marquis of Dingxi, we shouldn't be so hesitant. You must know that this is not a future generation, but we didn't say that we had to have evidence for taking people or something.

"He has a special status and has a good reputation in the army. My uncle has not moved him because he is afraid that it will affect the morale of the army. However, we can no longer investigate again at this moment, so we may be able to see the conclusion tonight."

"You have already made plans?" Li Ling suddenly realized and looked at the dark sky outside again. Could it be that he had already taken action at this time?

"The plan has been implemented this afternoon, so I just want to see if the fish bite the hook." Sun Bi sighed again after laughing. Until now, he didn't want his judgment to be correct. The person who had a very good relationship with him and was regarded as his brother would be the accomplice of those traitors.

However, the indirect clues obtained from the previous ones have made him 70% sure that Xiao Ding is the rebel inner supporter who is buried the deepest and threatens the most!

...

The third update has passed in a blink of an eye, and it is the quietest and coldest time of the day in Queensland City.

At this time, a figure appeared on the street where no one was. He was wearing a gray casual dress, a steel knife around his waist, and his steps were fast. Although he did not deliberately hide his figure, he always carried some shadows in the corner and soon arrived at the most remote corner in the west of the city.

There are more than half of the buildings here than elsewhere in Kunming City, because this place is a large cemetery. People from any era are very taboo about such things, so even if there is a house left in this area, it is mostly in a abandoned state.

Because of this, there are fewer patrols here on weekdays than elsewhere. At night, there is naturally no soldier who will come here to patrol here. Because of this, after turning here, the figure becomes bolder and faster.

Half an hour later, near the fourth hour, he finally stopped in front of a half-turned wall and completely abandoned yard. After just glanced around, he leaned forward decisively, turned over, and gently crossed the gap of the yard wall and entered the yard.

A gust of wind blew from the side, causing the small forest in front to make a rustling sound, and the white moonlight shines, which adds a bit of ghostly aura in the whole environment. But this person was not afraid at all, and he kept walking quickly into the forest. At the same time, his eyes kept sweeping back and forth, and a few strange screams like insects were made from his mouth.

The sound had just started, and the same strange scream sounded from the front, which made him feel refreshed. He immediately stepped forward and stopped suddenly after seeing a figure hidden in the shadow in front of him.

The person in front of him turned his back to him and said in a hoarse voice: "You are late."

"I had too many things to worry about before. When I went back and saw what you left behind, it was almost three times, and I had arrived immediately."

Seeing that the other party nodded slightly, he wondered again: "Didn't your people have already withdrawn from Queensland? Why do you still have to contact me, but you have other purposes?"

"That's right, I'll ask you to come out this time, just for one thing, to get rid of Xiao Ding!"

"What? This is probably very difficult."

"That's why I will use you again. After all, you are a confidant around Xiao Ding. If you take action, you should be sure."

"But you know, the Marquis is kind to me, and I don't want to harm him. The reason I worked with you before was because I wanted to avenge my brother."

"What do you think so?" The voice of the person opposite changed a little, and he immediately caught him, which made his body shocked: "Who are you...?"

A sigh, accompanied by a snap of high-fives, immediately, the torches around him lit up and quickly surrounded him, surrounding him completely surrounded the man.
