533 The noble son of the poor family (87) The second watch
Noble son of the poor family (87)
"It's ...... Yes...... Yes...... There's gunpowder!" Saburo seemed to be frightened, and he stammered a little.
Lin Yutong glanced at San Lang: "Thanks to you for reminding me, otherwise I really wouldn't have thought about it." ”
San Lang swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and he was a little scared in his heart. Like this, he didn't even understand what this world looked like, so he dared to rebel and revolt, if he hadn't chosen to cooperate with Shiro, then the result would have been unimaginable. He couldn't help asking, "Zhao Hanshan also has gunpowder?"
Lin Yutong nodded, "Of course." However, the equipment is also limited, and two hundred red-coated cannons ......"
"Then if we don't, won't we suffer...... I'm telling you, this thing is scary. Saburo quickly stood up, sweating on his head.
Lin Yutong waved his hand, "He has it, and we have it too." You don't have to worry about this. ”
Saburo opened his mouth and said: "I watched it on the day of the expedition, and I didn't ......"
Lin Yutong glanced at him, and San Lang instantly shut up.
That's right, it's impossible to reveal all the hole cards so that the enemy can figure it out.
"What you can say and what you can't say, you should know it in your heart. Lin Yutong glanced at San Lang.
"I promise...... Saburo raised his right hand, "I ...... to Mao I swear, I would never say something I shouldn't have said. ”
Lin Yutong waved his hand, "That's fine." You go get busy. ”
San Lang answered, and as soon as he turned around, he seemed to remember something and said, "Madam, are these people in the army?"
Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
"Three years as a soldier, the sow race sable. San Lang smiled: "There are a lot of women in this sect, and the haunting has been all night, and it's not all this guy tossing ...... beasts" As he spoke, he suddenly realized that he couldn't be so open-mouthed in front of Lin Yutong, so he hurriedly arched his hand and rushed out at once.
Lin Yutong snorted, and his mind was immediately retracted. If we deduce from this line of thought, these people entered the city in order to inflict a heavy blow on the garrison of the capital with gunpowder. Even if you can't get close to the garrison, just pointing at civilians in the city will cause panic and panic.
It's a tricky thing.
A cold sweat broke out on her forehead and forced herself to calm down.
What would you do if you were the one who carried out the task?
To complete the task, there must be two prerequisites, one is that the gunpowder can be transported smoothly, and the other is that the people performing the task can be mixed in.
Now that people have mixed in, does that mean that gunpowder has also entered the capital?
But when both conditions were met, why didn't they act, but told the people who were lurking in to hide?
Is it possible to assume that they have not yet been able to get close to the barracks.
If so, what do you do now? First, give these people hope that they have a chance to get close to the barracks. The provincial dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry, and they lit guns at random in the capital. After the arrangers have hung them, they will find out the whereabouts of the gunpowder.
She thought about it carefully, and then asked someone to invite Second Brother Lin here.
Second Brother Lin is promoting the division, and his feet are busy every day. The fourth master secretly arranged for the Lin family brothers and the Yin family to buy wood and other things. This is to prepare for shipbuilding. Sooner or later, there will be a war between the north and the south, and crossing the river is a big problem.
Therefore, when Second Brother Lin was called in, he was still sweating on his head.
"Second brother will rest first. Lin Yutong personally held the tea and handed it over.
Second Brother Lin took it and drank it in one gulp, "It's better to drink boiled water." Say, what's the matter? I see you've been hanging out lately, what's wrong?
Lin Yutong nodded: "I came to my second brother for this purpose." Is there a clever boy in the clan who happens to be on an errand in the moat?"
Second Brother Lin frowned, thought for a long time before saying, "This ...... Juniors don't. Only the seventh uncle is ...... in the north of the city."
"Seventh uncle?" Lin Yutong frowned, in the impression of the original owner, it seemed that there was no such person.
"It's normal that you don't remember. Second Brother Lin waved his hand, "He escaped when he was a teenager because he injured someone, and he has been floating outside for so many years." You only came back two days before you got married. Who knew that when I came back, it happened to be flooded......"
Lin Yutong gritted his teeth: "Second brother, I want to find an absolutely reliable ......"
The implication is to ask Second Brother Lin if this person can be reassuring. After all, I haven't been in my hometown for so many years, and I don't know the roots.
Second Brother Lin waved his hand instead: "I'm worried about it, if this person can't be trusted, who else can he trust?" He has an obvious difference from others, that is, he has floated on the rivers and lakes, and he has seen life and death, so he will not mess up. Moreover, he was angry with others, and he was also injured in a fight with others, and his father secretly treated him. Before leaving, he gave clothes and silver taels. When you got married, he gave you a golden hairpin to add makeup. Mother will keep it for you. Of course, you're not uncommon now. ”
Lin Yutong pursed his lips and said, "Then wait until the evening, the second brother will secretly bring people, and I will see you." ”
Second Brother Lin didn't ask much, "Cheng! I'll come back in the evening." ”
"Stay out of the way. Lin Yutong said again.
Second Brother Lin got up and walked out: "Your brother, I'm not stupid. ”
After Second Brother Lin left, Mama Su came in: "Master, let's eat." You can't afford it. ”
Lin Yutong nodded, ate in a hurry, and fell asleep on the couch in a daze.
Mama Su quietly covered Lin Yutong with a quilt, and then stayed on the side to do needlework.
It was dark when I woke up. Lin Yutong rubbed his head: "For Mr. Fan and Mr. Lu, prepare more vegetables and vegetables." I'm afraid I can't take care of the two gentlemen lately. How many things have to be dealt with in this half-pulled world. Without their help, I wouldn't have been able to finish my work. ”
"Madam, you should also learn from the fourth master, the old slave has never seen the fourth master do these trivial things himself. Mama Su handed over the honey water and said with a smile.
"I don't have the ability of my grandfather. Lin Yutong shook his head. This employment is also exquisite. The fourth master can handle people, and he still owes some fire. She didn't explain much: "Pass the word and ask Hei Qi to come here." ”
Mama Su hurriedly answered, then turned around and went out. When I came back, I had a food box in my hand.
Lin Yutong ate, and then looked at the fold that was handed over for an hour and waited for his approval, and then waited for Second Brother Lin and Lin Jimin.
"Uncle Seven sits. Lin Yutong got up, gave up his seat, and personally served tea.
Lin Jimin looked like he was in his twenties, and there was an obvious scar on his face, which added a bit of hideousness to the originally handsome exterior. He politely took the tea, "Mrs. Xie." ”
Second Brother Lin shook his head: "Seventh Uncle, in front of outsiders, you call her Mrs. and it's over." Let's close the door and call Niuniu. ”
"Your name is Kiritoro. Lin Yutong rolled his eyes at Second Brother Lin, "Niuniu's name...... I don't need it now. When you're seventy or eighty, you'll call me Niu Niu again?"
The corners of Lin Jimin's mouth curled, and he nodded, but he didn't mean to change his words, "From now on, there will always be something else to respect and humility." Let's call it Madame. Did you call me here this time because you have something to order?"
Lin Yutong glanced at Second Brother Lin, and Second Brother Lin stood up, "Cheng! I'm waiting for Uncle Seven next door, you can talk. ”
Lin Jimin raised his eyebrows, this niece is really a great figure with the rumors outside. Even if you are close to your relatives, in front of the bottom line, you will not compromise at all, which is not easy.
Lin Yutong saw that Second Brother Lin had gone out, so he looked at Lin Jimin with a straight face: "Seventh Uncle, I came to you this time, in the final analysis, I want to find someone who is trustworthy and courageous." Because what's at stake. ”
Lin Jimin sat upright: "Madam, please speak." ”
Lin Yutong said in a low voice: "There are spies in the capital, and they may blow up the military camp with gunpowder." But because we have protective measures in place, they have not found a chance so far. I want you to hang them out. ”
"Fish out?" Lin Jimin pondered, "What kind of fishing method?"
"If you want to coerce people, there are only two ways. One is coercion, and the other is inducement. Lin Yutong stretched out two fingers, "Coercion, right? Because all the families of the soldiers in the moats are under the control of the inner government of the palace. are registered. Those who can arrange errands have errands, and the children are all in school. Even if there are those left behind, the patrol team on the street has to check twice a day to make sure that there is no one in the house. Therefore, if you want to use family coercion, this basically does not work. ”
Lin Jimin was stunned in his heart, he didn't know what it meant for the Inner Government Department to be so strict with the management of his family before, but now he understands that this is not only surveillance, but also a kind of protection. Women don't go to work, and there is a special person who is responsible for keeping records. The child did not go to school, and a gentleman asked. All the records of the day have to be summarized. This basically closes all the loopholes. The risk of using family threats is very high.
Lin Yutong saw that Lin Jimin understood, so he continued: "Then there is only the temptation left." ”
"Understood. Lin Jimin nodded, "Don't worry, what to do, I understand." ”
Lin Yutong nodded, clapped his hands, and followed Hei Qi out of the door. Then she said, "He will send someone to contact you secretly." ”
The two nodded, they knew each other, because they both lived in the back streets.
After Lin Jimin left, Lin Yutong instructed Hei Qi: "Bring me the records of the entry and exit of each city gate in the past two months." Especially the one from the previous year, you can't lose a single one. I'm going to see. ”
Hei Qi didn't get the record book until he was a child, and he brought it to Lin Yutong.
"Call Cheng Feng and give me a hand. Lin Yutong looked at the two big boxes and was a little dizzy.
Cheng Feng was sleeping in a daze, so he was carried and thrown into the study. He rubbed his eyes, "Madam, whose account is it to check? Who is greedy again?"
Lin Yutong waved his hand: "No." Help to flip through and find out all the merchants who entered the capital to sell fireworks and firecrackers before the year after the New Year. ”
She squinted, King Zhao chose this time really well. It was just the Chinese New Year, and the sound and smell of firecrackers were everywhere. That's the best disguise.
