Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 181 I want both the Jade Tiger's life and his money.
Five days later.

Xu Mansion, on the outskirts of Xinzheng City.

While Xu Lin was taking a nap, Yan Lingji pushed open the door and threw the news she had recently received onto Xu Lin's lower abdomen.

"My benefactor, wake up!"

Seeing that Xu Lin was unwilling to open his eyes, Yan Lingji spoke up.

After speaking, she sat sideways on the soft couch and placed her hand on Xu Lin's leg.

Soon, Xu Lin was forced to sit up.

Seeing this, Yan Lingji, with her flowing hair, smiled and handed the stack of draft paper to Xu Lin.

"The Jade Tiger lived a life of extreme luxury and had two mansions."

"One is in Xinzheng, called Lanxiu Mountain Villa."

"One is in Nanyang, called Emerald Villa."

"A few years ago, he competed with Prince Gyeongryun of the Korean royal family in a display of wealth. He built houses of gold and jade, paved roads with pearls, and used brocade clothes as firewood. In less than ten days, he caused Prince Gyeongryun to lose all his family property, and even his fiefdom was forcibly bought by Jade Tiger."

Yan Lingji gently stroked Xu Lin's lower abdomen and said softly.

Xu Lin's lower abdomen felt wonderful to the touch; she really liked it!
"and then?"

Xu Lin nodded and put down the stack of draft paper.

He liked listening to Yan Lingji talk, but disliked looking at the scrap paper.

"Then Emerald Tiger became one of the Four Fiends of the Night."

"In recent years, in order to curry favor with Ji Wuye, he has often forcibly taken women from the common people and given them to Ji Wuye."

"It's called buying, but it's really robbery, because he offers extremely low prices, and he'll kill anyone who refuses to sell!"

"It is said that dozens of people have gone missing in Xinzheng in recent years because of this."

Flame Spirit Princess added.

Although she wasn't as kind-hearted as Nongyu, and Madam Hu was kind, she still disliked Fei Cuihu, who bullied men and women all day long!

"I don't know... how does my husband plan to kill him?"

Yan Lingji turned to look at Xu Lin and asked with a charming smile.

After saying that, she crossed her fair, jade-like right leg over her left.

She rarely crossed her legs before, but recently, influenced by Xu Lin, she finds herself crossing her legs all the time.

“He is not known for his cultivation level, so killing him would be very easy.”

"But how can you refuse money that's offered to you?"

Xu Lin used his hand as a pillow.

He not only wants Jade Tiger's life, but also Jade Tiger's money!
If it were a one-on-one fight, Yan Lingji could take on ten Emerald Tigers without Xu Lin even lifting a finger!
However, Emerald Tiger rarely goes out alone, and after all, he is one of the Four Fiends of the Night, so it is not easy to kill him directly.

Although Xu Lin was not afraid of the night, he did not want to break ties with it for the time being.

He is the "oriole" in the proverb "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." If he were to kill Emerald Tiger directly, wouldn't he be the "mantis"?

Thinking of this, Xu Lin frowned slightly and placed his calf on Yan Lingji's thigh.

Jade Tiger is fond of business, and it is said that his idol is Lü Buwei. Perhaps he could forge a merchant identity and get close to Jade Tiger?
After a moment's thought, Xu Lin shook his head; that would be too much trouble.

Emerald Tiger likes to gamble, so why not just follow the original story and directly "compete in wealth" with Emerald Tiger, with the Iron Blood Alliance as guarantor, and use him as a tool to kill someone?
But in what capacity should he be betting with Jade Tiger?

Is he the son of a ruler of Qin?

Would Jade Tiger agree to make a bet with the son of the Qin ruler?
Although Jade Tiger wasn't as clever as Han Fei, he wasn't stupid either!

Thinking of this, Xu Lin looked at Yan Lingji's profile.

Should we send Yan Ling Ji to make a bet with Emerald Tiger?
If Yan Lingji, a woman, suddenly wants to make a bet with him, wouldn't Fei Cuihu be suspicious?

"What do you think should be done?"

After more than ten breaths, Xu Lin asked.

"Kill them directly."

"Then rob them!"

Yan Lingji replied without hesitation.

Killing the Jade Tiger was easy for her!
"inappropriate."

"I am the oriole, not the mantis."

Xu Lin shook his head.

Then he rubbed his fingers and fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a long time, he suddenly thought of someone.

A perfect person to bet with Jade Tiger.

red lotus!

Honglian is willful and capricious, making her a perfect candidate for making a bet with Jade Tiger!
With this thought in mind, Xu Lin smiled and sent Yan Lingji to the princess's residence to find Honglian.

……

After a stick of incense.

Yan Lingji, disguised as a man, arrives at the princess's residence.

Honglian was in the courtyard at this moment, thinking about how to persuade Han Fei.

Han Fei was astute as could be, and fearing exposure, she hadn't yet tried to persuade him. Upon learning that someone named 'Xu Yan' was requesting an audience, Honglian paused slightly, then gave her trusted confidante, Xijun, a meaningful look.

After receiving a signal with his eyes, Xi Jun immediately led Yan Ling Ji to the study.

"Mr. Xu, are you looking for me...? Is there something I need?"

Honglian blinked her big, dark eyes and asked.

After speaking, she raised her hand to dismiss those around her.

"Correct."

"It concerns Jade Tiger's life and his money."

Yan Lingji nodded.

"it is good!"

"I'll go after I change my clothes!"

Honglian nodded vigorously.

Then he changed into men's clothing and went to the Xu residence with Xijun.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Honglian, disguised as a man, arrived at the Xu residence and met Xu Lin.

Xu Lin was sitting cross-legged at the table, playing chess with himself.

Following the sound, Xu Lin saw Hong Lian and asked Yan Ling Ji to tell her about the Jade Tiger and his plans.

When Honglian learned that Jade Tiger frequently abducted women, her beautiful eyes narrowed and her chest heaved.

She had heard Xijun mention this before, but she hadn't paid attention to it at the time. She didn't expect that Emerald Tiger often did this, even more outrageous than Liu Yi!
"Princess, it would be most appropriate for you to make a bet with him."

"All his money together should amount to tens of thousands of gold coins."

"Didn't Ji Wuye want to marry you?"

"You can wager yourself, valued at three... no, fifty thousand gold!"

"That scoundrel Jade Tiger will most likely agree to this in order to curry favor with Ji Wuye!"

Yan Lingji added with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xi Jun, who had a long sword hanging at her waist, flashed a hint of displeasure in her clear eyes.

Honglian is the apple of the eye of the King of Han, his benefactor. How could he let the princess put herself in danger?
Honglian smiled instead of getting angry upon hearing this, and waved her hand to indicate to Xijun that she didn't need to be angry.

Because she knew Xu Lin wouldn't let her lose!

"The key is what to bet on."

Honglian said solemnly.

She was willing to risk her life to bring down Emerald Tiger!
“I am a princess. If it’s about gambling, I doubt that Jade Tiger would agree.”

Honglian continued.

"Perhaps we could use reverse psychology."

Yan Lingji said as she thought about it.

"No."

"If provocation fails, it will alert the enemy."

"When dealing with the Jade Tiger, either don't take any action, or if you do, you must take his life!"

Xu Lin, who had been silent until now, said in a deep voice.

Then, have Honglian and Xijun sit down and talk. This matter is not urgent; let them think about it slowly.

After Honglian and Xijun sat down, Xu Lin personally poured Honglian a bowl of hot tea.

When Xijun saw that Xu Lin was also going to pour her some water, she immediately stood up and said that she would do it herself.

How could a mere maidservant in the princess's residence be qualified to have Xu Lin, a high-ranking official of the Qin state and the princess's future husband, pour her tea?

The young girl, Honglian, took a sip of tea, her slender fingers stroking her long robe as she fell into deep thought.

The naturally alluring Yan Lingji blinked repeatedly, pondering a solution.

Xu Lin shook the teacup with one hand and gently stroked Yan Lingji's knee with the other.

……

After a cup of tea.

The tall and slender Xijun suddenly stood up.

"I have a plan!"

“The princess can make a bet with that scoundrel Emerald Tiger about ghost soldiers.”

Xi Jun said solemnly.

Xu Lin, Hong Lian, and the others were all dumbfounded upon hearing this.

What does "betting on ghost soldiers" mean?
The ghost soldiers in the story of the ghost soldiers robbing the paycheck?

The Ghost Soldiers Robbery Case is already over.
