Chapter 182: Please Stop (Ⅰ)

Xu Ke knew exactly what he was capable of. Everyone had a limited amount of energy, which ant he couldn’t take care of every facet. Even if he could, it would consu an unimaginable amount of ti and energy compared to ordinary people. The result would be too high cost and it was not worth it.

Now that ng Hun was there, it ant that he could finally get away with the complex, but subtle, affairs. He finally got to read books he had always been wanting to read.

The Liu’s were never in the top rank of all the gentry clans, but they had a large collection of all types of books––those were what Xu Ke pursued but never found.

He cherished a book like a priceless treasure and dug into it eagerly over and over again.

Now with the whole treasury placing right in front of him, he had to spend extra ti to do other things that he was not excellent at. That gave him a broken heart.

It would be easier if ng Hun would take over so of the affairs and set him free. Xu Ke was more than happy and he didn’t care much about being made fun of by Langjun.

It was just puzzling for Xu Ke when Langjun took ng Hun down.

He was only aware that Langjun knew very well how to manipulate other people’s minds and emotions. But how did ng Hun get deceived so easily when he had been through so much?

Jiang Pengji glanced at Xu Ke while ng Hun went to help his buddies settle. She said to him in a harsh tone, “Why are you staring at like a human trafficker?”

Xu Ke sighed. “Your persuading skills are much better than any human trafficker’s. It has been only a short ti and he already yields to you, Langjun... Speed is the soldier’s asset. You acted so swiftly that I didn’t even have ti to respond.”

He needed ti to make so arrangents as the accountant for her.

ng Hun was the “General Coach,” so his living space had to be spacious. It didn’t need to be deluxe, but it had to at least be neat and clean.

The servants they bought not long ago were divided into several groups. They had groups they were familiar and comfortable with.

ng Hun’s buddies, who ca out of nowhere, had to be settled appropriately. It wouldn’t look good if they couldn’t rge in well with the other troop mbers, or even if there was so friction.

Besides, Xu Ke had to send people to prepare the basic bedding and clothing, as well as the dinner from the kitchen, for ng Hun’s people.

It was like a surprise raid of many people but with no warning. That made him feel like he was a housekeeper. However, what accountant wouldn’t have to deal with these sophisticated and subtle trifles?

Jiang Pengji twitched her lip. Listen to Xu Ke. It sounds like I did sothing bad to ng Hun.

“This must be a destined coincidence. It is just like eting you. The god led to ng Hun.”

Now it was Xu Ke’s turn to keep quiet. Even though quite so ti had passed, the details of the day he t her were still like a fresh mory in his mind. He gazed at her begrudgingly and lowered his voice while talking to her, “Since we have enticed Coach ng to be on our team, then about that ng Liang...”

“Right, we have received the letter from him.” Jiang Pengji curled her lips. “That ng Liang... He was d*mn lucky he chose the right womb before reincarnating. Otherwise, with that pig brain he has, who knows how he could survive for this long.”

Incredible IQ!

ng Liang’s parents must be conscientious to work on giving birth to such a dumb son and put all their effort to raise him up like trash.

Xu Ke asked, “How much grain did he ask us for?”

“Sothing like five hundred dans I guess... He wrote the number himself, but I don’t like it. How many people can we feed with only five hundred dans of grain?” Jiang Pengji sneered. She was not a beggar. They would really be looking down on her if they believed it would satisfy her.

Xu Ke also comnted, “Five hundred dans is for sure too little. Considering how wealthy the ng’s are, it wouldn’t be outrage to ask for two thousand dans. Not to ntion, the dispatch team for transporting the grain from ng County to Hejian County will have a trendous consumption of grain, too. ”

During their conversation, they decided to raise the amount of grain they requested from five hundred to two thousand dans. How blatant they were!

“Just what thod do you plan to use to deliver the letter to the ng’s, Langjun?”

Xu Ke picked up a brush and wrote a ransom letter from the “kidnapper” without using his dominant hand. The contents of the letter claid that they had ng Liang as a hostage and the ng’s had to follow their instructions to exchange grain for ng Liang. They didn’t want to take any money as a bribe, so the ng’s had to make sure to deliver the grain at the specified ti after they received the letter.

Of course, ng Hun had to take the bla to be the “kidnapper.” Since he already split with his old boss, it wouldn’t harm him more if he made the situation worse.

Jiang Pengji heard this and chuckled. “It is nothing hard. We don’t have to send a ssenger all the way to the ng’s place, we just need to drop these off in the wood shed in the gambling house.”

Xu Ke’s left hand nearly lost control of the brush. How could Langjun be so capable? She seems to know everything that makes my brain unnecessary. I’m not happy.

“How could you be so sure about it, Langjun?”

“ng Hun got rid of the entourage and then blended into Hejian County. In another word, the entourage must have taken detours to look for ng Hun. After they received the ssage that ng Liang was locked in the gambling house and traveled to Hejian County, their schedule was delayed for another one or two days... More importantly, there was no trace of ng Liang’s entourage last night, and my assumption is they will be arriving here today or tomorrow at the very latest.”

Nobody cared if they would be there one or two days late––that was not the point. The point was the first stop the entourage would visit when they hit Hejian County was definitely the wood shed in the gambling house to pursue ng Liang’s track. Naturally, they would find the two letters in obvious spots.

“The entourage will choose not to take the letters back to the ng’s if they learn of ng Liang’s death. They might scatter to any random place to keep their lives because the ng’s will chase after them for being responsible. But the result will be entirely different if they are uncertain about ng Liang’s condition.”

Jiang Pengji continued in a leisurely, slow tone, “When they see the ransom letter from the kidnappers, they will be convinced that the kidnappers will keep ng Liang alive. They will trust in the the kidnappers greed and interest, and they will endeavour to shorten the ti to deliver the letters back to ng County, Cang Prefecture. They don’t want to prolong the length of suffering for ng Liang, but they might be credited with his rescue after they rescue ng Liang from the kidnappers.”

There would be a significant difference between ng Liang being dead or alive.

If he was dead, the ng’s would make the entourage pay for it with their lives, regardless of if the cause of death was ng Liang ditching the entourage himself or not.

But if he was alive, the ng’s would still seek account from the entourage for the cri of incompetent protection. They will make it up to the entourage, however, considering what ng Liang had done stupidly to himself.

To be more frank, Jiang Pengji figured that the entourage would do everything they could to deliver the two letters safely to the ng’s.

Xu Ke had nothing to say.

Jiang Pengji couldn’t help but laugh at him after seeing his hopeless face. She taunted him, “I know why you asked so specifically. You were expecting to get confused and ask for solutions from you, and you would tell exactly what I just said to you, right?”

Okay, Langjun, you don’t have to make it clear since you have seen through . There will still be a chance for us to be friends. The friendship is not gone...
