Yongye County, inside the city.
West of the city.
In a house.
In the study in the backyard.
Two people sat opposite each other.
The two of them were already in their forties. Their hair was even graying at the temples, making them look rather old.
One of them was called Xin Bai, and the other was called Duan Long.
Both of them were locals of Yongye County, and they were from the local rich families. But now, most of the land in Yongye County had been taken away.
Although the families they belonged to had received a certain amount of compensation, in reality, the families had lost their land and did not have many businesses. Their days were getting worse and worse.
The situation was getting worse.
Xin Bai stroked his beard and said, "Brother Duan, our family's situation is the same. Because Ceng Cheng has completely surrendered to Fushan County, we have no way to survive. We can't keep enduring like this. "
Duan Long sighed and said, "Brother, how can I not know that our lives are getting worse? If not, I wouldn't have specially invited you to my house for a discussion. It's just that it's not easy for us to deal with Du Qi in Fushan County. "
Xin Bai nodded and said, "It's indeed not easy. According to my spies, Du Qi set off from Fushan County to Yongye County, set up a trap, and killed the people who ambushed Du Qi. He killed hundreds and thousands of people in total. Such a method is really ruthless. Especially when Du Qi is as cunning as a fox. It's too difficult to deal with him. "
Duan Long nodded and said, "That's what I mean."
Xin Bai said, "Brother Duan, you've always been resourceful. Do you have any ideas?"
Duan Long said in a deep voice, "I really don't have any ideas. But now, after thinking for so long, I have a general direction. "
Xin Bai asked, "What direction?"
Duan Long said, "It's not easy for us to deal with Du Qi, and we can't afford to offend Du Qi. So, instead of dealing with Du Qi, we'll change our strategy and deal with Ceng Cheng. First, we'll take down Ceng Cheng, and then support our people. Even if it's not our people, we can slowly corrupt them. After all, a newly appointed person can't possibly be as troublesome as Ceng Cheng. "
After Xin Bai heard this, his eyes lit up. There was a look of approval in his eyes as he said, "This direction is indeed not bad. If we can overthrow Zeng Cheng and have someone who is willing to cooperate with us, the situation in Yongye County will be greatly changed. I agree with this change in direction. "
Dong! Boom!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the study, followed by the butler's voice.
The butler said, "Master, there's urgent news."
Duan Long ordered, "Come in!"
After the housekeeper entered, he respectfully bowed to Duan Long. Then, he took out a letter and handed it to Duan Long.
Duan Long waved his hand, and the butler retreated.
Duan Long opened the letter and quickly skimmed through it. A look of ecstasy appeared on his face as he said, "You've really just mentioned it. The opportunity has come. Brother, our chance has come. "
Hearing this, Xin Bai asked, "What opportunity?"
Duan Long said, "The spies I've planted in the county office have just received the news. Du Qi has just arrived in Yongye County. After a short rest, he'll immediately set off for Pan Du County to take it down. "
"Apart from that, Du Qi's operation this time is to take down Pan Du County in one go. He'll even take away all the troops in Yongye County, leaving only a few bailiffs in the county office."
"This is precisely our opportunity."
"Yongye County is empty. They have no troops."
"If we kill Zeng Cheng and break the current situation in Yongye County, everything will be easy. Originally, it wasn't easy to deal with Zeng Cheng. There was only one general direction, but now, there's a chance. "
Duan Long said, "This is an excellent opportunity. We can't miss it."
After hearing this, Xin Bai thought carefully and said, "Brother Duan, the county is empty. Indeed, we have a chance. However, if we kill Zeng Cheng openly, it'll be extremely disadvantageous for us once the news spreads. At that time, Du Qi won't even need to come back personally. He only needs to send a part of his troops back and it'll be enough to wipe out our men easily. "
"Hahaha …"
After hearing this, Duan Long immediately laughed out loud.
Xin Bai asked, "Brother Duan, what are you laughing about?"
Duan Long replied, "My dear brother, I'm laughing because you've misunderstood me. I want to deal with Zeng Cheng, but I don't mean to openly rebel. Du Qi's strength is far beyond ours. With our strength, we'll only be digging our own graves if we try to rebel. So, my plan is actually very simple. We'll use this opportunity to assassinate Zeng Cheng. "
"My goal is to kill Zeng Cheng."
"I don't care about anything else."
"As long as Zeng Cheng is dead, the men Du Qi arranged in Yongye County will be gone. When Du Qi arranges for someone else to take over, we can use this opportunity to bewitch and corrupt them because they're new here and don't know anything. "
Duan Long said in a deep voice, "Under such circumstances, we can slowly build up our strength and take back everything we've lost. Only in this way will we have a chance to survive. Otherwise, neither the Duan Family nor your Xin Family will be able to withstand it. "
After hearing this, Xin Bai carefully thought about it.
At the moment, this was indeed a good idea.
Assassination was the most suitable.
After thinking for a while, Xin Bai said no more and said, "Brother Duan, I agree with your suggestion. If we don't deal with Du Qi, we'll assassinate Zeng Cheng. Then, we'll corrupt Du Qi's men. There's no one in this world who isn't greedy. The reason why Zeng Cheng isn't greedy is that he's gotten too many benefits and has long looked down on Yongye County. "
"Zeng Cheng wants to go further."
"And if we take down Zeng Cheng, the newcomer will naturally be greedy."
Xin Bai said, "But who should we send now? Since it's an assassination, it's impossible to do it with just the strength of our families. It's impossible to be foolproof. It's even easy to leak the news. Before we take action, we should consider the possibility of failure. "
Duan Long said with a smile, "Consider failure before victory. This is the best analysis. Only when we're clear of the situation can we win this battle and take down Zeng Cheng. "
After a pause, Duan Long continued, "So, my plan is to hire a professional assassin. This way, on the one hand, we can kill in one strike. On the other hand, we can hide our identities. Even if we fail, we won't be affected. "
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Xin Bai Qing nodded hurriedly with a look of approval on his face.
This was a good suggestion.
Xin Bai Qing said, "It's just that there's an organization in Yongye County that specializes in accepting missions. But if we want to assassinate Zeng Cheng, although they're willing to do it, without a certain amount of money, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it. "
Duan Long said, "It's fine. We'll pay a lot of money."
Xin Bai Qing nodded.
This was the only way at the moment.
Hire someone with a lot of money.
