Chapter 446: The Kou Family Sisters and the Southeast Manufacturing Bureau
The blonde princess Ji Ya is not big or small in the palace and is also a celebrity, Lin Yue blatantly abducted the princess out of the palace, this crime is really not small. As soon as he walked to the gate of the forbidden garden, he was stopped by the female generals of the Kuizi Banner who were dutiful, and the leader of the Kuizi Banner, Chang Xiu, frowned and asked, "Where is the general going to take the princess?"
Lin Yue said directly: "You saw it, out of the palace." ”
Chang Xiu didn't expect Lin Yue to admit it so happily: "General Lin, kidnapping the princess without authorization, do you know what kind of crime this is?"
Lin Yue snorted coldly: "There is no princess here, only master and apprentice, could it be that Commander Chang still wants to ask about my teacher-disciple relationship?" Here Lin Yue belongs to pulling the tiger skin as a banner. The master he said should be regarded as the disciple of the East China Sea Spear King, but Chang Xiu thought of Butterfly Valley, the disciples of the three sects are mavericks, and he naturally understands their strength, and where do they dare to ask. It's just that such a big princess was taken out of the palace with such a swagger, so she really has to do it as the leader of the Kuizi banner.
Chang Xiu thought of a compromise method: "General Lin, I can't make the decision on this matter, can I wait for General Beichen Zhonglang to come and make a decision?" Chai Shengnan is Lin Yue's senior sister, no matter what the result is, it will always be better than her as an outsider intervening.
Lin Yue didn't give her a chance: "Then ask Senior Sister to come to me by herself, Ya'er, let's go." ”
Seeing this, the other Kuizi banner female generals surrounded Lin Yue, and Lin Yue looked around and snorted coldly: "What, do you want to do it with me?"
Several female generals looked at each other, and they both understood that these girls alone could not stop Lin Yue. But they can't easily retreat from their responsibilities.
Lin Yue sighed: "I'm not embarrassing you, with my ability, it's very easy to take this girl away, but in that case, won't it be more difficult for you to do it?"
Indeed, the princess herself disappeared and the princess was snatched by Lin Yue, or the latter was more convincing. The latter was forcibly imposed by Lin Yue, but the former was derelict in his duties.
Even so, the female generals of the Kuizi Banner couldn't let them go like this, Chang Xiu was ready to give an order to leave Ji Ya, but he didn't expect a burst of heavy footsteps, and Su Shun came with hundreds of armor soldiers: "My lord, are you okay?"
Lin Yue entered the palace for a long time and didn't come out, although Su Shun knew that Lin Yue would not have an accident, but he still brought a lot of people over to support the scene, Chang Xiu knew that he couldn't go down hard now, otherwise the conflict was about to break out.
Lin Yue calmly left with his little apprentice, and Su Shun asked in a low voice: "My lord, several main officials in the palace have been taken, what ......do you think of the others?"
Lin Yue said directly: "Let it go, they won't be able to set off much of a storm." "After Lin Yue took over the capital, hundreds of officials have been detained in the palace, and now many families have been confiscated, and some relevant officials have also been taken down, and it is useless for others to stay in the palace, so let them go.
When the trembling officials left the palace, before they had time to celebrate the rest of their lives, they found that at least a third of the people around them were gone, which showed how far Lin Yue had purged the capital in just one day.
......
Lin Yue returned to his small courtyard, Kou Xueying and Qi Diaoling had not left yet, they were very curious about who the blonde girl who came back with Lin Yue was, but they did not speak, Kou Xueying would not inquire about other people's situations without authorization, and the forces in her hands had their own ways to investigate.
Qi Diaoling took Ji Ya to settle down, and Kou Xueying said: "I heard Mr. Wu say that Engong had no intention of proposing before?" This proposal is naturally the idea of becoming a prince.
Lin Yue was able to let go: "Yes, I'm tired of being an official, I want to walk around, to be honest, if I hadn't stayed in the capital by mistake, I would have traveled all over the world a long time ago." ”
Kou Xueying said with a smile: "Grace is open-minded, and it is rare to be able to retreat bravely at this time. I secretly felt sorry for a big benefactor in my heart, but I still kept a smile on my face: "In this case, Xueying can only wish Engong smooth sailing, if he has leisure in the future, Engong can come to Huadu, and Xueying will definitely sweep the couch to greet him." ”
Lin Yue said curiously, "What's the matter, your family is in Huadu?" Kou Xueying nodded.
Huadu Lin Yue also knew from the dossier that this is a prosperous city on the South China Sea, which was originally a small enclave connected to the land, but a small fishing village, and later because of the maritime trade with the 36 countries of the South China Sea, a wharf arose, and gradually formed a port city.
Of course, the official control of this city is very weak, and lawbreakers are rampant, so it can be said that there is opportunity and darkness, hope and filth coexist. Lin Yue had only heard of his name for a long time, and when he suddenly heard the origin of Kou Xueying, he immediately became a little more curious.
I had heard that Kou Xueying came to Beijing this time to sell arms, so it seems that she is not a good person, but Lin Yue is more concerned about another thing than her......
Lin Yue stared at Kou Xueying and asked, "Okay, let's not talk about this for the time being, I still have a question in my heart, I don't know what is the relationship between Miss Kou and Dugu Sisi?"
Kou Xueying was shocked in her heart, and her face was calm: "I don't know what Engong means by this?"
Lin Yue seemed to be smiling, if she was the daughter of an ordinary family, she might not know the gossip on the rivers and lakes, but Kou Xueying was obviously not this kind of person, she dared to sell arms near the capital with Qi Diaoling, how could she not know about the dark world.
Lin Yue still looked at her: "It's nothing, it's just that I have known her for a long time, and I suddenly saw an identical face, and I was a little curious." As he spoke, he glanced out the window, then continued to look at Kou Xueying.
Lin Yue's words sounded very connotative to Kou Xueying, Dugu Sisi was known as the number one killer, and there were countless masters who had contact with her, but most of the time, the memories left by each other were not good. Although Kou Xueying has been paying attention to Dugu Sisi, she has never dared to have further contact, for fear of provoking a hard hand that she can't deal with, and even when she goes out to do business, she has to cover her appearance. Lin Yue suddenly asked, could it be that the two had a holiday?
Lin Yue naturally knew what Kou Xueying was worried about, and then said, "Don't worry, she and I can be regarded as a good fate." "Except for a couple of times that almost killed me.
Kou Xueying didn't dare to be careless, Lin Yue said that good fate is good fate? What if it was a fraud? But if she blindly denied it, would Lin Yue believe it? Will she be angry because of her concealment? She now regrets telling Lin Yue about her family background.
In this way, the two looked at each other, revealing the exchange of advance and retreat in each other's eyes, Kou Xueying smiled: "She is my sibling sister, and we are twin sisters." ”
Lin Yue nodded: "I see, let's count it as fate, I also saved her life a few days ago......" will then help Dugu Sisi in the Yunyin Mountain Range, and talk to Kou Xueying about the fight with the four heroes of Nantian.
Kou Xueying immediately analyzed that there was no ambiguity in what Lin Yue said about the good fate, after all, the four males of Nantian besieged and killed Dugu Sisi, and this matter was very big, and Kou Xueying naturally heard about it.
After a short conversation, Kou Xueying understood that the girl who was with Dugu Sisi was Lin Yue's senior sister, and the mustard in her heart suddenly let go a lot, plus Lin Yue also saved Dugu Sisi, so her two sisters owed him a favor.
Lin Yue asked again: "Miss Kou, since Dugu Sisi is your sister, why ......?"
Kou Xueying knew Lin Yue's question, and there was nothing bad to answer, when her mother was pregnant, the family was barren, and there was no nutrition, so she picked some loofahs from the neighbor's yard to satisfy her hunger, and later gave birth to a pair of twin sisters, the nickname sister was called Sisi, and the younger sister was called Guagua. Sister Sisi was also separated from her family when she went out again, and her mother couldn't find her sister and fell ill in a hurry, and finally died of depression. Later, my father got into the arms business, and his life gradually got better, but he didn't go home all the year round, and his father felt ashamed of his family, so he didn't continue to continue the string, and then took Guaga Gua by his side, whispering and seeing since he was a child, Guagua, that is, Kou Xueying, became a good hand in the arms business. From Kou Xueying, I learned that in fact, Dugu Sisi also has a large size, and her name is Kou Xueyan.
As for the true identity of the Kou family, Kou Xueying did not hide it from Lin Yue, after all, it was not a secret to many customers. The Kou family was born in a subordinate rank, and it is also one of the lower three levels, lower than civilians but higher than slaves. Occupations that belong to the family tradition, such as some craftsmen, technicians, craftsmen. Although there are similar professions among civilians, they are not as good as the century-old heirlooms of the subordinate rank.
And Kou Xueying's father is from the famous Southeast Manufacturing Bureau. In the past, when he was fighting demons in northern Xinjiang, Lin Yue knew that there were two manufacturing bureaus in the southeast and northwest of the Great Zhou.
In addition to armor and firearms, the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau mainly built cavalry equipment and siege tower vehicles, after all, the northwest has a wide area of yellow sand. The southeast waterway is crisscrossed, and the manufacturing bureau there can not only make ordinary armor, but also make sea ships and warships.
The two manufacturing bureaus were originally subordinate to the imperial court, and their respective craftsmen were also handed down from the founding of the country for hundreds of years. However, unlike the Northwest, after all, resisting the Demon Clan in Northern Xinjiang is a major event, and it is personally presided over by the Taishi Demon Yunhai, so the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau does not worry about its livelihood.
There has been no war in the southeast, and the interests of maritime trade have been divided among several major families, so the Southeast Manufacturing Bureau has been in a semi-idle state, except for building some daily military industry, it basically does not fire much. As a result, these craftsmen with superb skills have not eaten three meals and have a very hard time. However, due to the restrictions of affiliation and the regulations of the ordnance craftsmen, they could not make any other living.
In particular, the rebellion of the salt people in the south led to the separation of the north and the south, and the southeast manufacturing bureau was already deep in the enemy's hinterland, and the remaining road was either rebelled by the thieves or disposed of by the thieves.
At this time, Kou Xueying's father stood up and contacted dozens of craftsmen and their families, not waiting for death, but before the war was about to spread to his side, he packed up and evacuated the entire Southeast Manufacturing Bureau and went south to Huadu. An organization called the Craftsman Gate was formed, and craftsmen were constantly trained and recruited, becoming the largest arms merchant in the south. And the princes of the south have a tacit understanding and do not delve into it, because they know that once these craftsmen return to the imperial court, they will not be able to obtain many prohibited or huge weapons, so they would rather let the craftsmen born from the Southeast Manufacturing Bureau be in a neutral state of business, unless there is one that can pacify the south in one fell swoop, otherwise it is not wise to offend the craftsmen in today's intertwined forces.
Lin Yue nodded, secretly saying that this is the case, no wonder they can provide a large number of armaments for the third prince to maintain the entire rebel army. At this time, Qi Diaoling walked in, Lin Yue smiled and said, "It's all settled, right?" Qi Diaoling nodded.
Kou Xueying was a little strange, they ...... Say anything more?
