"Third Young Master Ling, you are here!" Seeing Ling Dao enter, Ma Yingu, who was waiting there, stood up with a respectful expression. Bai Jiu 'er and her husband were surprised. Everyone in South Mountain Commandery knew about Ma Yingu.
Ma Yingu was Boss Wu Bai of South Mountain Commandery. He was known as Ma Wu Bai — a free meal, a free drink, a free loot, a free beating, and a free sleep. Speaking of prestige among the common people, the Patriarchs of the three big clans could not be compared to him.
But today, it was strange that the infamous Sect Leader of the Ma Clan was bowing and bowing in front of Third Young Master Ling. Anyone who saw this would be shocked to the core.
However, Bai Jiu 'er and her husband were knowledgeable. After serving a dish silently, they went to the back hall. They saw that Ling Dong's follower, Gao Yuan, was already waiting outside the wine shop.
"Oh, take a seat. You are in a hurry today. Have you done what I asked you to do?" Ling Dong asked as he poured himself a cup of wine.
"It's done!" Ma Yingu grabbed the wine pot and personally filled Ling Dong's cup with wine. Bai Jiu 'er was shocked. This Third Young Master Ling was a god! Even the Patriarchs of the three big clans could not enjoy such treatment from Ma Yingu.
Although he said that it was done, Ma Yingu did not mention the details. He smiled and said, "Third Young Master, my Yu 'er has been very bored recently. Other than his head and mouth, he can't even move his little finger. He even needs someone to help him eat, drink, and go to the toilet. Every day, he cries and throws tantrums!"
He carefully glanced at Ling Dong, who did not seem to be displeased, and said, "Third Young Master, why don't you show some mercy and allow him to stretch his legs or something like that … or perhaps allow him to be manly at that part of his. That would also be … fun!"
When Ma Yingu said this, he actually had other plans. The Zuo Clan being massacred in one night had given him a great shock, so he wanted to keep the family alive!
He was useless, but his son could do it. However, his son's meridians were sealed. He couldn't even feel anything when doing that, let alone being a man.
Even the only reason he could open his mouth to eat was because he had been starving for days. Seeing that he was about to turn into a skeleton, he begged Ling Dong for help. Ling Dong did not want to force Ma Yingu too much, so he released a little so that the kid could eat.
Even after Ma Yingu finished speaking, Ling Dong's expression did not change. Just as Ma Yingu thought that there was hope, Ling Dong said, "Alright, Leader Ma, I'll go over in a moment. I just need to move my finger and let your son sleep peacefully for another month or so. When I'm done, I'll treat him thoroughly!"
"Uh …" Ma Yingu wanted to thank Ling Dong, but his words were stuffed back into his mouth by Ling Dong. He almost rolled his eyes. This young master was not easy to fool.
"Here, this is the antidote. Swallow it and you can live for another half a month! After half a month, come back to me for the antidote. Of course, if this matter is solved beautifully, I'll cure you and your son's illness completely! "
Ling Dong threw out a black pill. That was the antidote for Ma Yingu after he swallowed Ling Dong's poison pill. He could take one pill every half a month to ensure that the poison would not act up.
After that, Ling Dong stared at Ma Yingu and said, "How's the matter? Hurry up and tell me. I hate it when people play tricks on me!" Ma Yingu, the leader of the biggest clan in Nanshan Commandery, was not easy to control. He was a sly old fox.
Ma Yingu quickly took the pill and swallowed it. Then, he thought for a while and said, "Third Young Master, according to your instructions, I wrote down the special situation of the three mines that you told me and gave it to Mr. Mou!
That night, Mr. Mou rewarded me with a hundred thousand taels of silver. While he praised me for my good work, he also gave me a task and asked me to complete it within five days! "Ma Yingu said.
"Say it!" Ling Dong's expression was so calm that it was scary!
Yes, Ling Dong told Mr. Mou, who had been secretly plotting against Ling Dong, about the three mines that the Ling family abandoned at the same time, including the situation of the crystal mine and the strange deaths of a large number of miners, all through Ma Yingu.
Ling Dong could not wait, and he could not wait!
There was only a thousand days of being a thief, but how could there be a thousand days of guarding against thieves?
If he was on guard every day and waited for the enemy to come at any time, there would be no end to it. If the enemy did not come for a year, would the ring last for a year? Moreover, who knew if the enemy would mobilize a stronger force?
If Ling Dong did not want to guard against thieves for a thousand days, then there was only one way, which was to lure the snake out of its hole. After luring the snake out of its hole, the snake would be in the light, while Ling Dong would be in the dark. That way, it would be much easier to deal with the enemy.
Now, Mr. Mou was the snake. If Ling Dong wanted to lure him out, he would only be interested in the crystal mine! Therefore, Ling Dong secretly leaked the location of the crystal mine to Mr. Mou through Ma Yingu.
"Mr. Mou asked me to think of a way to gather all the Ling family members in the Ling family's courtyard within four to five days, especially the direct descendants and those who were close to them! Moreover, he gave me fifty thousand taels of silver in advance. He said that after it was done, there would be another two hundred thousand taels of silver! "Ma Yingu said carefully.
"Gather everyone in the Ling family's courtyard within four to five days? Hmph! " Ling Dong had already understood Mr. Mou's plan. He wanted to catch all of them in one fell swoop and completely exterminate the family to get rid of future troubles!
Since Mr. Mou had this plan, then Ling Dong could be sure of another thing — Mr. Mou was very confident in exterminating the Ling family. He had 100% of his strength, which showed that he was very confident in his own strength!
Ling Dong also completely believed that Mr. Mou had 100% confidence in exterminating the Ling family. This was because he had done it in his previous life. Moreover, even if the Ling family knew about it, they could not do anything to Mr. Mou.
Mr. Mou was an Earth Realm expert, who was on the same level as Mister Qiao. No one in the Ling family, including the entire South Mountain County, was a match for him.
"Then do you have the ability to complete this mission?" Ling Dong asked with a cold smile.
"This … I don't dare to! This Mr. Mou obviously wants to harm the Ling family. I can't even wait to help the Ling family. How would I dare to do this! "Ma Yingu laughed.
"No matter if you dare or not, this mission must be completed. After you complete this mission, go to Mr. Mou to get a sum of money, then come to me to get a sum of money. Are you happy?" Ling Dong thought to himself, When did Ma Yingu have such good intentions? If he was not controlled by me, he would have been overjoyed.
Hearing Ling Dong's words, Ma Yingu was no longer worried. "Alright, since Third Young Master has said so, then I will definitely complete this mission beautifully!"
Hearing this, Ling Dong was curious. Gathering the direct descendants of the Ling family together? Even he could not do it. How could Ma Yingu dare to guarantee it?
"What do you plan to do?"
"Third Young Master, I will tell you after a few days. This matter will not work if I tell you too early!" Ma Yingu replied.
"Is there any other news?" Ling Dong asked.
"No, but yesterday afternoon, my men discovered that one of Mr. Mou's subordinates, a Xiantian Realm Level Nine, rode a horse and left Nanshan County. He hasn't returned yet, but there are a few new faces around Mr. Mou!" Ma Yingu said.
"Got it. Go and watch carefully. You will report the situation every day. You don't have to come. I will send Gao Yuan to cancel the news!" Ling Dong instructed.
"Yes!"
Seeing Ling Dong's gesture for him to leave, Ma Yingu left immediately! When Ma Yingu left the wine shop, he saw another old acquaintance, the leader of a small gang, Sun Sanpao, waiting outside the door.
Seeing Sun Sanpao, Ma Yingu was shocked. It seemed like he was not the only spy in Nanshan County. Luckily, he did not have any bad intentions up until now.
Sun Sanpao was also shocked when he saw Ma Yingu. In fact, he was even more shocked than Ma Yingu.
Third Young Master has actually subdued Ma Yingu? This thought instantly exploded in Sun Sanpao's mind. Then, Sun Sanpao walked into the ancient wine shop even more carefully, and his expression became even more respectful.
Sun Sanpao was much simpler. Ling Dong did not give him the task of luring the snake out of its hole. He just did not want to be fooled by Ma Yingu.
After a round of questioning, Ling Dong was relieved. The information he obtained was similar to what Ma Yingu reported. However, there was one piece of information that caught Ling Dong's attention.
Sun Sanpao said that yesterday evening, six low-ranking officers in the uniform of the Furious Gang Army entered Mr. Mou's house and never came out again. This morning, there were six unfamiliar guards around Mr. Mou.
This information allowed Ling Dong to conclude one thing — this Mr. Mou had an official background, and it was not a shallow one. Someone who could mobilize the Nugang Army, one of the most elite armies in the Yaoguang Empire, was definitely not an ordinary official … It was very likely that …
After confirming Mr. Mou's amazing background, Ling Dong suddenly began to worry!
This Mr. Mou's background was so amazing. Even if Ling Dong used a clever plan to kill everyone, Mr. Mou's superiors would definitely know what Mr. Mou was doing here. They would be angry and question him. At that time, Ling Dong and the Ling family would really be finished!
Ling Dong suddenly realized that this Mr. Mou, who wanted to destroy the Ling family, had become a hedgehog that could bite people. He could not be eaten, nor could he be released!
Ling Dong was lost in thought. It was necessary to change the plan. The Ling family could not be used to deal with Mr. Mou!
Strength, it was still strength!
From noon to noon, from noon to afternoon, Ling Dong sat there motionlessly and pondered. He repeatedly thought about every step of the revised plan. Being cautious was the first good habit that Ling Dong learned in his previous life.
Just when Bai Jiu 'er was about to doze off, Ling Dong suddenly stood up. After drinking three bowls of strong liquor in front of him, he strode out confidently.
When Bai Jiu 'er sent him off, Ling Dong instructed Gao Yuan, "Gao Yuan, you go back first. I want to do things alone!"
"Yes!" Gao Yuan responded happily.
"Gao Yuan …"
"Young master?" Gao Yuan was a little puzzled. Why did the young master hesitate?
"Gao Yuan, there's a written letter under my pillow! If I don't return home by noon tomorrow, take the letter out and give it to my father! "Ling Dong instructed solemnly.
"Letter … Understood!" Gao Yuan instinctively felt that something was wrong. "Young master, then, where are you going?"
"A grand gamble!" After throwing down these two words, Ling Dong strode forward without turning his head back.
