Chapter 420 Eliminating Hidden Dangers and Destroying Fuso Action Plan
Two days later at dusk, Molin City, a prosperous city located in Houzhou Province, was dyed a light golden color by the afterglow of the setting sun.
Liang Xing, the nephew of Liang Jiaman, was wearing a simple white shirt, straight trousers, and a pair of polished leather shoes, giving people a casual yet formal look. He casually put his suit jacket on his shoulders, a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and stood at the door of a luxurious restaurant, surrounded by a group of so-called righteous brothers and friends, who were chatting and laughing with each other, and obviously had just left the restaurant.
"Mr. Liang, you must help me with the task I entrusted to you." A young man beside him said to Liang Xing in a flattering tone.
Liang Xing sighed softly, waved his hand, and looked a little upset. "Your uncle's matter really can't be handled now." He frowned and continued, "My family has already told us that we must not go against Su Zhengyang now. Let's think of a solution after this storm subsides."
Hearing Liang Xing's words, the rich young man in a handmade custom suit looked a little dissatisfied, but after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to remain silent. He hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded silently, accepting Liang Xing's decision.
The rich young man standing next to Liang Xing was Lin Dong, the eldest son of the famous merchant family in Houzhou - the Lin family. The Lin family had been rooted in Houzhou since the Shuiqing Empire period, and had made a living from grain trade for generations, accumulating rich wealth and profound heritage. As time went by, the Lin family gradually became the leading landlord and grain merchant in the entire Houzhou area.
After the establishment of the Northern Frontier regime, Liang Jiaman was appointed as the governor of Houzhou, and the Lin family chose to stand on the side of the Liang family without hesitation. They contributed money and effort, and used their local reputation and influence to actively help the Liang family recruit troops and consolidate their position. As a result, the relationship between the two families became closer, and they could almost be said to be good brothers wearing the same pants.
However, in this reform movement launched by Su Zhengyang, the Lin family was inevitably affected because of their inextricable ties with the former Houzhou government officials. In particular, Lin Dong's second uncle Lin Yunfeng was eventually imprisoned because of some sensitive political issues.
Although according to the new decree issued by Su Zhengyang, Lin Yunfeng's problem was not too serious, and the Lin family only needed to pay a valuable guarantee to allow him to return safely. However, the amount of this guarantee was as high as 30 million yuan, which was undoubtedly a huge burden for the Lin family. Although the Lin family was financially strong, paying so much money at once was enough to break their bones.
Therefore, under the instruction of Lin Dong's father, he found Liang Xing, a young talent with extensive connections and influence in Houzhou. He hoped that Liang Xing could use the power of the Liang family to mediate and let the Lin family pay less so-called guarantee money. After all, in Liang Xing's view, this not only concerns the interests of the Lin family but also involves the deep friendship between the two families.
However, facing Lin Dong's request, Liang Xing seemed helpless and irritable.
Just half a month ago, the entire government system of Houzhou underwent a radical change. Liang Jiaman lost the influence he had accumulated over the years in Houzhou due to the reconstruction of the government system.
Those direct members of the Liang family who were carefully placed in key positions not only lost their power and status overnight, but many of them were thrown into prison for various reasons.
All this made Liang Jiaman extremely angry. He felt that Su Zhengyang was deliberately weakening his influence in Houzhou and was distrustful of him.
Liang Jiaman personally called Su Zhengyang, during which he expressed his dissatisfaction and anger in fierce words, but Su Zhengyang's attitude was extremely firm.
He made it clear that the reconstruction of the government system was for the future of the entire northern border, and no one or any force could stop the pace of reform. The two eventually parted ways unhappily.
Liang Xing witnessed all this, and he knew his uncle's frustration and anger. In public, he repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction and contempt for Su Zhengyang without disguising himself.
These remarks soon reached the ears of the Fusang spies, who believed that this was a perfect opportunity to further intensify the conflict between the Liang family and the central government of Northern Xinjiang by assassinating Liang Xing.
At this time, on the roof of a shabby two-story building across the street, a spy was lying on the ground. He was a killer sent by the Fuso Bamboo Agency. He held a sniper rifle and stared at the target on the street - the unsuspecting Liang Xing. His finger was lightly on the trigger. With just a little force, he could send Liang Xing to hell and successfully complete his mission this time.
Next to Liang Xing, a burly man walked over.
His attitude was respectful and serious. He said to Liang Xing, "Master, the master has specifically told you that you must go home before 8 o'clock in the evening and not to mess around outside. We have prepared the car. Master, say goodbye to them and get ready to go home."
Liang Xing heard this and grumbled in dissatisfaction, obviously unwilling to end the party so early. But he also knew the family rules and his uncle's authority, so he turned around and said hello to his friends, indicating that he was leaving.
He walked towards the black car parked on the side of the road, unaware that he had become a sniper's target. The lights on both sides of the street reflected on him, leaving a long shadow. At this moment, he was completely unaware of the impending danger.
Just when the sniper was concentrating, adjusting his breathing and preparing to make a precise shot, a mocking voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Brother, you've been lying here for more than an hour, aren't you tired?" This sudden voice was like a thunderclap exploding in the sniper's ears, causing him to lose his mind instantly.
The sniper turned around almost instinctively with his extraordinary professionalism. His eyes were filled with horror, because he saw a middle-aged man in black combat uniform standing behind him. The man was of medium build, but with clear muscle lines, he looked extremely strong, like a moving mountain.
The sniper felt a chill in his heart. He was a professional sniper who had undergone rigorous training, but he did not notice when the man appeared silently behind him. This made him think about it with great fear. He quickly looked at the man in front of him, trying to find his flaws and weaknesses.
However, at this moment, the man suddenly moved. His movements were swift and agile, like a cheetah suddenly attacking in the jungle. He leaped forward and hit the sniper's chest with his shoulder. The sniper felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he was hit hard by a huge hammer. Several of his ribs seemed to be broken, and he staggered backwards.
The man took advantage of the situation and climbed up. He did not give the sniper any chance to breathe. He quickly adjusted his posture and punched the sniper's left temple with a powerful punch. The punch was so powerful that it was like a hammer hitting steel, making a dull sound. The sniper felt a black screen before his eyes and fainted.
The man picked up the sniper casually like a chicken and threw him into the alley behind. In the alley, two members of the E Squadron caught the sniper and looked at the man with dissatisfaction and said, "Jerry, you have to show off your mediocre skills when you can solve this problem with just one shot. What a waste of time."
The man shrugged nonchalantly and said, "The mission was successfully completed, wasn't it? Next, we need to cooperate with Director Li's actions, pry open his mouth, and take him to the Liang family mansion."
