Being a Lady of an Influential Family

The severe pain made Cai Yun's whole body tremble a little. One of his hands was firmly nailed to the tabletop by a dagger.

Cold sweat gushed out from his forehead like a waterfall, and the wine he drank all night probably also came out along with the sweat. In the pain, his sanity became clearer and he finally saw Long Yue standing at the door. His gaze shrank suddenly.

Of course he recognized that the man leisurely leaning against the corner watching the show was one of the few men he saw in the newspaper, but he was not sure if it was Fu Fengcheng or Long Yue.

Long Yue strolled over, looked condescendingly at the embarrassed Cai Wei and said with a smile, "Young Madam is still amazing, Long admires it."

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Young Master Long laughed." While the two were talking, gunshots sounded in the distance.

Soon there were footsteps outside and the sound of someone talking. Before they came in, they had already cleared the guards in the yard. It was obvious that someone from outside came to report the situation in a hurry, but before they got close to Long Yue and turned around, they fired two shots. The bullet pierced the window in the wall, and the sound of footsteps and talking outside stopped abruptly.

Long Yue said, "I'll go outside and have a look."

Leng Sa was not polite, "You have to work hard."

Long Yue nodded and turned to leave the door, Leng Sa also moved the muzzle of the gun away from Cai Min's forehead, Cai Min immediately reached out to pull out the dagger nailed to his left wrist regardless of the pain.

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows slightly, and shot through the shoulder of his right hand without hesitation.

Amidst Cai Yun's painful muffled sound, Leng Sa reached out and closed his dislocated jaw again, and said with a smile, "Now we can have a good chat, Master Cai, nice to meet you."

"..." The three people in the room looked at Leng Sa as if they were looking at a monster that suddenly popped out of the night. Even the two women couldn't help hugging each other and shivering in the corner of the wall, as if the beautiful young woman in front of him was ten or a hundred times more terrifying than the vicious Cai Yun.

At this time, Cai Yun had no intention of admiring Leng Sa's beauty, even though the woman standing in front of him looked more beautiful and lively than in the newspaper.

He was sweating profusely from the pain, and the constant loss of blood made him feel as if his life was passing.

"You...you are the young lady of the Fu family!" Cai Min gritted his teeth.

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Didn't Master Cai say he wanted to see me? I came in person, why do you have such an expression?" To be honest, I was really disappointed with such Cai Yun Leng Sa.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that she has seen too many outstanding young talents in the past two years, which made her have an unrealistic high opinion of a bandit leader, thinking that being able to dominate such a three-way zone would make the Song family helpless The bandit leader should also be considered a hero.

After all, a bandit is just a bandit.

Cai Yun's strength may not be weak, the important thing is that his heart is ruthless and his hands are ruthless. What really allowed him to gain a foothold in Chang City was not his own strength, but the mutual checks and balances of the three families of Sun, Song and Liang.

But... Glancing at a large piece of newspaper on the table that was already stained red with blood, Leng Sa looked down at Cai Min who was still sitting in the chair, "How should I greet Master Cai?"

Although it is said that being missed by others is a recognition of her beauty, but Lord Leng is a handsome dog, and being missed by a wretched man is not within her tolerance.

Cai Yun also knew that the current situation was not good for him. The gunshots outside had been going on for quite a while, but after leaving Long Yue, no one of his own could come in again. Although he is a horse bandit, he was able to survive among so many horse bandits and bandits, so he decided to hold back his breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Madam Fu, what's the matter... We are easy to talk about. I, I have absolutely no intention of being disrespectful to the Young Madam and the Fu family. Our brothers in Changcheng can all serve the Fu family, as long as..."

Leng Sa smiled and said, "If you said this two days ago, I might consider it."

Cai Minqiang calmly said, "Although the Fu family doesn't take us seriously, but...we have thousands of people in the area around Chang City, even if it's the Fu family...it's not so easy to solve, right?"

Leng Sa took out a dagger from nowhere and played with it in his hand. He sighed and said, "Master Cai misunderstood me. It has nothing to do with you whether the Fu family accepts the horse bandits in Changcheng. Even if I want to , the Fu family can support another big leader at any time, do you think... those horse bandits in Yancheng dare not listen to me?"

Cai Min's complexion suddenly changed, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "The brothers in Changcheng have followed me for many years. It may not be so easy for the young lady to subdue them."

Leng Sa didn't care, the dagger in his hand twisted, "Then kill them all."

"..." Cai Min was speechless for a moment, seeing the indifferent look on the face of the woman in front of him, and finally regretted that he had offended such an evil spirit.

Leng Sa was very satisfied with Cai Min's reaction, and said with a smile, "It seems that Master Cai understands what I mean? Then we can talk now."

Cai Yun looked stiff, "What are you talking about?"

Leng Sa said: "Let's talk... Where are the things you robbed these years hidden, what forces are there near Chang City, and what is the situation? Wait..."

Cai Yun sneered, "Why should I tell you?"

Leng Sa said, "Because you don't answer me a word, I will cut off a piece of your flesh."

After all, Cai Min has been a bandit for more than ten years, and he is not an ordinary person. Leng Sa's attitude aroused his ferocity, and he started to curse and even raised his foot to kick Leng Sa.

Master Leng has never been used to this kind of people. Just as Cai Min raised his foot, she kicked it over. There was a soft sound in the room followed by Cai Min's screams.

The calf bone was broken.

When Long Yue came back with a bloody smell, he couldn't help but stop as soon as he reached the door.

The originally closed windows in the room have all been opened, but the strong smell of blood still hasn't dissipated completely.

The two girls hugged each other tightly, their faces pale, and they huddled in the corner of the wall and did not dare to move.

Cai Min, who was still intact before he left, had shrunk into a ball on the ground, as if his whole body had been soaked in blood, and he was already dying.

On the contrary, Leng Sa was standing by the window looking down at a booklet he got from somewhere, his body was still clean without any trace of blood.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Leng Sa raised his head and waved Long Yue friendly, "Thank you, Young Master Long, how is it going outside?"

Long Yue said, "Everything is going well, thanks to the young lady's hard work." It still takes a little bit of skill to toss a fierce bandit into this appearance.

Leng Sa smiled and said, "We've made money this time, Young Master Long, do you want to have a look?" Then he handed over the booklet in his hand, Long Yue took it over curiously and flipped through it, it turned out that it belonged to Cai Min private ledger.

Cai Min has dominated Changcheng for nearly ten years, so his family background is naturally very rich.

Not only all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, but also all kinds of weapons that were snatched from nowhere. However, he is stingy, and he is not willing to use those excellent weapons to equip the horse bandits under him unless necessary. Of course, he may be worried that they will rebel against him, so it is cheaper for them.

"Being a horse bandit makes so much money these days?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "It's definitely more profitable than you being a young handsome man."

This is the truth, after all, even though Young Marshal Long is high and powerful, the Long family has many people to support and many benefits to share. No matter how big the four northern provinces are, it is impossible for the tax revenue to fall into Long Shao's small coffers. If Long Shao wants private money, most of the time he has to find a way by himself.

Cai Yun is different, as long as he distributes some benefits to his cronies, most of the benefits will fall into his own pocket.

Long Yue touched his chin and said, "I heard that there are more than a dozen horse bandits near Chang City?" Even if those people are not as rich as Cai Yun, they are not too bad, right?

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Heroes see the same thing. Both Northwest and Jiazhou are short of money now, and it's time for them to come in handy." After the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled, seeing joy in each other's eyes.

This raid to encircle and suppress Changcheng was much smoother than they originally expected. Although it was inevitable that there might be a few fish that slipped through the net, all the big and small leaders of the horse bandits in Changcheng were caught.

This is due to Zhou Yan and Jiang Zhan leading the elites to determine the tactics of pressing the target and man-marking in advance. As long as they are horse bandits with some reputation, they will take care of them before they act, and they will not be able to escape even if they want to. When the soldiers and horses of the Fifth Army arrived, they directly encircled them from the outside and then pushed them inward. Before eight o'clock in the morning, the entire Chang City was cleaned up.

Even the few who slipped through the net, after seeing the bloody horror of this night, I am afraid they will not dare to come out to find trouble in a short time.

While counting the loot, Leng Sa issued a notice to the horse bandits near Chang City in the name of Jiazhou and the Fu family in the six southern provinces. Unconditionally surrender to the Southern Six Provincial Army stationed in Changcheng within ten days, as long as it is not full of evil, the Fu family will not blame the past. After ten days, if there are horse bandits wandering around the city again, they will be killed without mercy.

The most important thing is that this notice was not simply sent to the leaders of the various horse bandits, but to encourage ordinary horse bandits to surrender to the Southern Six Provincial Army. As long as no one has been killed, the Fu family will not only let the past go, but will also provide resettlement.

The news spread quickly, and for a while there were some undercurrents in the various horse bandit dens.

Leng Sa naturally knew that most of the horse bandit leaders were full of murder and evil, and the so-called robbers were a minority after all. Therefore, these people will never surrender to the six southern provinces easily, but those ordinary little people may not. Many people just make up their numbers, or they are newly joined or forced to join who have never killed anyone. There are also many people who were captured by the horse bandits to do coolies and chores, so there is no need to kill them all.

The battle to suppress the bandits in Changcheng ended, and Long Yue didn't stay for long and took some weapons and food to the northwest. On the other side, Governor Fu and Governor Long almost arrived at the capital.

These two bigwigs suddenly entered Beijing at the same time, which naturally attracted the attention of all parties in the capital. Before they even stepped out of the train station, they could feel all kinds of probing eyes around them.

Governor Fu sneered, took people out of the station, got in the car that picked him up, and drove away.

In the afternoon, Dujun Fu and Dujun Long delivered a joint speech in the auditorium of the Yizheng Building, explaining the current situation in the southwest and northwest clearly, and at the same time calling on all walks of life in Anxia to abandon their original prejudices and work together to help the people in the southwest and northwest. fighting.

Although the Song family has been fighting with the Dayin people in the northwest for a long time, in fact, ordinary people know very little about it.

Even the newspapers only had sporadic reports occasionally, and there was almost no mention of the situation and difficulties of the Song family.

Because in the eyes of most people, resisting the Dayin people is the Song family's business. The Northwest is the territory of the Song family, so of course they should guard it by themselves. If the Song family falls and Northwest falls into the hands of the Dayin people, they will be angry, they will reprimand the Song family for their incompetence, and they will share their hatred, but they will not think in advance that they have an obligation to help the Song family.

Even if someone expresses their willingness to send troops to support the Song family, it is hard to say whether it is really for the northwest, or for a share in the northwest.

With such a mentality, newspapers from all over the world would naturally not report the situation in the northwest, at least until it was determined that the Song family was really unable to hold on.

The speeches of Dujun Fu and Dujun Long were indeed opposed by many people. Some reacted fiercely and directly confronted each other on the spot, while others euphemistically raised various reasons one, two, three, four, five. Naturally, there were those who opposed and those who agreed, so that the entire political hall became a vegetable market.

Leaving the Yizheng Building and returning to Fu's Mansion, Dujun Fu couldn't help kicking over the chair in front of him as soon as he entered the door.

Dujun Long and Zhuo Lin who came in together behind him looked at each other, Dujun Long smiled and said, "What's the use of venting your anger with a chair?"

Governor Fu impatiently unbuttoned the top collar of his collar, took a breath, and said angrily, "The labor and management are just impatient with dealing with these people, and they refuse to put in any effort. It's not enough to take advantage of it."

But they still occupy Anxia's official name, why did you bypass them, and they will immediately give you a big hat. Who would dare to delegate power to the warlords everywhere? I've worked my ass off for half my life and turned over my military power, so why don't you give me a backhand?

Governor Long held his breath, and sat down on the sofa with Zhuo Lin, and waited until the servant brought the tea before he said, "What's the hurry? If you open your mouth, they will all raise their hands in agreement, do you believe it? I Lou Lao and Yu Chengyi should both know it well. Just wait, they will definitely have a few fights in the past two days, and they don't have time to greet us for the time being."

Governor Fu sat down firmly, glanced at Zhuo Lin before looking at Long Xiao and said, "I didn't expect that you would really agree with them to do this." Long did not look like a high-spirited person .

Governor Long smiled calmly, "Old Fu, this Anxia future belongs to them, not to us old men, so it doesn't count if we say it."

Governor Fu snorted and before he could speak, Han Ran came in with a document.

Respectfully sent the document to Governor Fu, Governor Fu opened it, glanced up and said to the two sitting opposite him, "Boss wife and your kid leveled the city of Chang, now the road leading to the northwest is almost the same. Cleared out."

Long Xiao said with great interest, "Oh? Ah Yue and Xiao Leng went to suppress bandits together?"

Governor Fu glanced at him coldly and said, "The problem now is that the Dayin people have increased their troops on the border again. The road is open, where do we get the food, where do the weapons come from, and where do the soldiers come from?" Is the Fu family coming out? His surname Fu is not being taken advantage of.

What's more, the Fu family has to deal with the Nile people in the southwest, and they don't have that strength.

Zhuo Lin said indifferently, "I discussed with Prime Minister Yu before that the Ministry of Finance can allocate a batch of food, clothing and daily necessities for the Northwest Army, about enough for the Northwest Army for two months. However, we are afraid that there is nothing we can do about weapons." However, on the battlefield Weapons are the big deal. After a battle is fought, countless ammunition needs to be consumed.

Governor Fu looked at Long Xiao with his eyes, and Long Xiao sighed, "I have weapons, and I have soldiers and horses, but I can't use boats to transport people and weapons to the six southern provinces and then take a detour to the northwest, right? I have to make an excuse."

Zhuo Lin didn't worry too much, she said calmly, "There should be no need to worry about this. It is impossible for the military to not make concessions in the current situation. It's just that I'm afraid we will have to wait a few more days."

Governor Long wasn't surprised, it didn't look like these people's behavior if they didn't quarrel for a few days. He just said, "As soon as possible, although Song Ye didn't say anything, it might not be easy for the northwest side."

Zhuo Lin nodded and said, "Naturally."

Outside the door, Zhuo Lin's assistant came in and reported, "Yu Xiang asked Ms. Zhuo to attend an emergency meeting at the Prime Minister's Office."

Zhuo Lin didn't delay, nodded and stood up to say goodbye to the two, and left quickly with her assistant.
