Chapter 57

On this day, news came from the Lin Mansion that Hu Yong was suddenly very enthusiastic about working for others, and he was going out of the house to do things today, Yang Song said: "I'll follow." ”

Qin Sangu said with a smile: "It's better for me to go, there are not many people in the world who can beat me in stalking people." ”

Yang Song knew that she was capable, so she didn't rob it.

Qin Sangu quietly summoned Mi'er and told him: "The night before yesterday, Lord Tan fell asleep carelessly when he was reading the official documents, and the candle burned a large cabinet of documents. ”

Mi'er frowned: "Is he hurt?" ”

Qin Sangu praised: "No wonder they all say that you are smart." He had nothing to do, except for his clothes that were blackened. ”

Mi'er knew that this person was innocent.

"He didn't have a clue about it, but now the news is suppressed. I think that although this person is capable and loyal, but he is a little happy and afraid of things, I am afraid that he is in a hurry, and he makes a mistake in his busy life and leaks the letter, in case Lord Lin knows about it and wants to see the situation. ”

Mi'er said: "I know, I will never leave Mr., I should not be when he hears about it, he will not listen." ”

Qin Sangu nodded and went to wait for Hu Yong outside the Lin Mansion.

Hu Yong was quite vigilant, and came out to do things honestly, until he went back to a small tea stall to eat tea. Coincidentally, there was a shoe repairer on the opposite side of the tea stall who was also thirsty, so he went over to share a table with him. Qin Sangu sat down on the stool near them, and listened for a long time, and the two were only chatting. Until Hu Yong left after eating tea, the shoe repairer also went back to repair shoes. Hu Yong had never seen a suspicious person next to him that day, Qin Sangu thought about it carefully, and only the one who repaired the shoes was the one who repaired the shoes. When Hu Yong returned home, she turned back, guarded the shoe repairer until he closed the stall, and then quietly followed him away.

Only halfway to the road, Qin Sangu knew that she was not with the wrong person, and this person actually looked back several times, which showed that he was also a well-behaved person.

The shoe repairer did not return to his own residence, but went to a rather large inn, saying that a person who lived in the house Li Daguan had made an appointment to repair his shoes. After a while, the shopkeeper let him in. Qin Sangu threw a bundle of smoke-burning straw into the kitchen of the hotel, which frightened everyone and rushed over to put out the fire. She flipped through the shopkeeper's register and was surprised: Li Daguan was actually an envoy from the Zhen family in Jinling to buy items for the Dragon Boat Festival, called Li Ji. Hurriedly sneaked upstairs and eavesdropped outside Li Ji's house.

But he heard the shoe repairer say, "I can't protect the person next to him who he has offended." ”

Li Ji said: "You don't care about this. ”

The shoe repairer answered "yes".

Li Ji asked again: "Can he say anything else?" ”

The shoe repairer said: "He said he didn't see Yang Song, it's a little strange." ”

Li Ji said: "It's not surprising, Lin Haiji doesn't trust many people, so he probably sent Yang Song to do something." ”

The shoe repairer said: "The side is gone." ”

Only then did Qin Sangu understand that Hu Yong said at the tea stall, "There is a pine tree in the front yard of our house that the old man loved very much and that he planted with his own hands in the early years, but it has disappeared inexplicably!" She thought it was a little strange at the time, how could the tree be gone? It turned out that it was Yang Song, and I couldn't help but laugh.

The shoe repairer repaired Li Ji's shoes, smiled and begged for a few rewards, and left.

Qin Sangu went back to Lin Hai one by one and returned what she saw today, Lin Hai was surprised: "I have nothing to do with the Zhen family for a long time." Their old lady is the nurse of the old saint, how can she move! Besides, there is no grudge. They stabbed me, for no reason. ”

Mi'er said on the side: "Cong'er once told me that the Jinling Zhen family took over four times alone, and the gold piled up mountains and silver flowed out, and I don't know where the lot of spare money came from, but I was able to buy four times of virtual excitement." ”

Lin Hai said with a smile: "They borrowed a lot of silver from the treasury, and there was something else that was given from the top and sincerely allowed them to fish. Naturally, there are many lawless things, and there is a day for the emperor and a day for their family. ”

Mi Er Yin said: "Is there evidence of their lawlessness in the hands of the gentleman?" ”

Lin Haidao: "What am I doing with their mistakes? If the old saints are gone, they are all the same if they are wrong. ”

Jia Si suddenly remembered what Jia Yu whispered to his Gong Sanyi in the early years, "Everyone in the mortal clan has encountered raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and breaking the law is just an excuse", and Lin Hai's words are put together, it is really good, and now I am afraid that when the old sage returns to the west, he will attack the Zhen family, thinking about the rich and noble style he saw in their mansion a few days ago, he can't help but be a little funny.

Qin Sangu said: "Su Ri has always heard that their family can still speak on the salt road. ”

Lin Hai sighed: "I will give them all the face." ”

Mi'er immediately said: "That is, there is also a time when you don't give it?" ”

Lin Haidao: "Naturally, I can't give it all, after all, I do things for the saint." How greedy they are, they want to do whatever is good. Or am I taking the money of the saints, and carrying the money for others? "Everyone understands that others must be your princes." Moreover, their family has also managed two Huai salt affairs for four terms, and the oil and water have already been sufficient. ”

Mi'er's eyes lit up: "They also took care of salt affairs?" ”

Lin Haidao: "That was when the old sage was there, and after he ascended the throne, he extended his term of office for a special term in order to show favor to the old ministers. No matter how stupid they are, they should know that there can be no more in the future, and even if I die, it will be someone else. ”

Mi'er said: "However, others are better fooled than my uncle." They are insiders, but it is easy to fool a layman like Lord Tan. Judging from the fact that they bought Hu Zhongxing's assassination, they were playing small tricks. If someone with military power wants to harm his uncle, he can send a dead soldier to come, and there is no need to go around in circles like this. It shows that the murderers behind the scenes have no soldiers in their hands. ”

Lin Hai shook his head: "No, it's not difficult for them to get money." ”

Jia Si sneered: "A few days ago, I was ordered by my master to go to their house to retrieve the silver they had saved there in the early years, but it took so long to work. Although they are all clothed and fed, look at the embarrassment of the people who give money, you can know that they are now starting to be poor. ”

Lin Hai still said: "A hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff." No matter how poor their family is, they don't have to take such a big risk for money. Mi'er couldn't help laughing out loud from the side. Lin Hai glanced at him: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Mi'er said: "I remembered a few words that Cong'er said, and I don't know where he heard it." Most of the people in the world who break the law are in it for money, no matter how much money they have, they just want more. A wise man can act without breaking the law, but a man who breaks the law is not wise. ”

Lin Hai thought for a while, high-fived and praised: "Which woman in their family is so smart and wise to teach this little thing." ”

Qin Sangu hurriedly asked, "Cong'er's little ghost head was taught by a woman from the Jia family?" ”

Lin Haidao: "Yes, I just don't know who it is." ”

Qin Sangu counted carefully for a long time, and couldn't think of who it was.

Jia Si waved his hand and said, "Ninety percent is the Zhen family." I think the silver I held in the early years is not much left now, and the adults don't let them slip it out. ”

Qin Sangu also said: "The ancients had clouds, and it was easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it was difficult to go from luxury to thrift. ”

Lin Hai made them a little moved, pinched the teacup and thought for a long time, and said: "If it is their family, even if there is real evidence, it will not be easy to do." ”

Qin Sangu said: "I'll go to the Zhen family to inquire again, and it will naturally be dealt with by the imperial court." Because he turned his head and glanced at him. Mi'er blinked, and quietly extended a thumbs up to her. Qin Sangu knew that she had guessed in the morning, and there were rumors in the Salt Patrol Imperial History Mansion, but she didn't hear Lin Hai's appearance, thinking that she had managed to interrupt it. If this is the case, I am afraid that this matter cannot be delayed for too long. So she thought for a while and said, "My lord, I have a plan to startle the snake, can you listen to it." ”

Lin Hai hurriedly asked what the plan was.

Qin Sangu said: "My lord sent the house slave Hu Yong to the Zhen family, and I will follow to see if there is any movement." As the adults said, it is extremely risky to assassinate the adults, they have the emperor here, there is no need to take such risks, I am afraid that there is a harder waist pole behind them. ”

Lin Hai thought for a while: "It's okay." He wrote a letter and handed it to Yang Song.

When Qin Sangu saw Yang Song, she couldn't help but smile when she remembered that "there was a pine tree" and was going back to the front yard of the Lin Mansion. laughed so much that Yang Song shook his head for a long time.

The next day, Yang Song showed up to deliver a letter to the Lin Mansion and asked the old housekeeper to send Hu Yong to the Zhen family in Jinling for Lin Hai.

The old housekeeper had not heard from Lin Hai these days, and he was frightened, but now that he saw him, he was busy asking, "Is the master safe?" ”

Yang Song nodded and said, "Don't worry, the old man is good, but now he can't reveal his whereabouts for some reason." "For he gave an account of the epistle. The old housekeeper was inexplicable, Yang Song didn't say anything, just said that the old man still had instructions from the side, and left.

When Hu Yong heard that Lin Hai was going to give him to the Zhen family, his face was immediately like ashes. Seeing this, the old housekeeper thought that he had offended the Zhen family, and the old man sent him to others to compensate him, so he scolded him. Because he was afraid that he would be retaliated against when he arrived at Zhen's house, Lin Haixin did not mention that he would send his whole family over, so he left his wife and children for him. Hu Yong was grateful. A few days later, the Lin Mansion sent five or six people to escort him, and Hu Yong went to Zhen's house with a hard head. Qin Sangu told Yang Song and the others and quietly followed.

Now that the assassin is about in shape, Lin Hai is also relieved and writes a letter to Jingzhong to report his safety. He thought that Qin Sangu would inevitably write an excerpt to enter Beijing, so he did not inform Jinshang and Situ Pan. As everyone knows, Qin Sangu is extremely cautious, I am afraid that the news will be leaked elsewhere, and in the early years in the camp, she pursued the principle of "the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected", so there has been no report for the time being.

As early as when he was successfully hijacked, Jia Si ordered his son to write a good news overnight so that people and Pegasus entered Beijing to send it to customers, and Daiyu received the letter and knew that the Taiping Dart Bureau had succeeded, and the sorrow of the past few months was swept away, and he smiled and praised "six taels of silver is not in vain".

Jia Cong was also much relieved, and ran to the garden of the mansion in the south of the city to persevere in breaking the mechanism. Because he suddenly thought that his strength alone was too small, he led Jia Huan to break it. Jia Huan heard that there was an authenticity, and when he arrived, he also remembered many legendary stories of the Tang Dynasty that Tanchun told him, and he was full of energy. Sure enough, the two children got together and really broke it! I only heard the sound of iron chains squeaking, and the tunnel entrance was really exposed. The two of them were so overjoyed that they were so excited that the top of their heads was about to smoke, so they rubbed their hands together and prepared to go down.

I only heard someone behind me: "Huh? You know this too? ”

The two of them were startled, and when they looked back, it was Qin Keqing standing there with a smile on his burden. Hurriedly patted his chest, Jia Cong said, "Sister Qin! Why are you suddenly startling when you speak? ”

Qin Keqing said with a smile: "My steps are not light, but the two of you are thinking about it." ”

Jia Cong recalled her words just now, and hurriedly asked, "So, you also know this authenticity?" ”

Qin Keqing nodded and said: "I am no longer the young grandmother who rode in a sedan chair every day, and at the beginning of the year, I was here to teach your subordinates in the house to walk the tunnel often, especially on rainy days." ”

Jia Cong sat down on the ground with a big butt! "How often do you go?"

Qin Keqing said: "I am inconvenient to go home often, so I still live in Zhenwuan. There is a road here that leads to the true hermitage. ”

Jia Cong frowned: "I heard that there are a total of four exits, how can there be one of them in Zhenwuan?" ”

Qin Keqing said: "This is one, one is really Wu'an, one is Mr. Gong's residence, and there is another one that he never told me." ”

Only then did Jia Cong understand that Gong San also said that the "four exits" that day, only this one was in the house. Therefore, he spent so much effort in the past two years to look for any study and storeroom, but he could not find the slightest trace, because there was no exit from those places at all. I can't help but secretly scold myself for being stupid, this kind of authenticity naturally leads to the outside, how can there be a reason to open four or five exits in a house? I secretly understood in my heart, I was afraid that Qin Keqing had completely let Gong San also be taken under his command, and he could be regarded as a member of Prince Yizhong's faction. Although their family is long gone.

I heard Qin Keqing say again: "Are you not going to go on like this without bringing oil lamps?" It's all dark in there. ”

Jia Cong hurriedly asked, "Do you bring a lamp down every day?" ”

Qin Keqing nodded: "Naturally." For he took a fold of fire out of his bosom.

Jia Cong frowned, thinking to himself, these entrances have been closed, I am afraid that the underground oxygen concentration will be relatively low, but don't make carbon monoxide poisoning. At this time, there was no flashlight, so I had to think about it for a long time and give up. Because he leaned up and smiled at her: "Good sister, take us down~~ We've known this for a long time, but because we can't break that mechanism, we can only look at it with our eyes." ”

Qin Keqing laughed "fluttering", because he said, "You two are too small." Then he led the way.

Jia Huan suddenly pulled Jia Cong down and asked quietly, "There won't be an ambush or something, right?" ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "What kind of organ is in ambush?" ”

Jia Huandao: "It's the commentary story you tell on weekdays, what Egyptian treasures, Mayan tombs, and what Zhangjia Ancient Building, Changbai Mountain ultimate." ”

Jia Cong glared at him: "Those are all places where people are not allowed to enter. This is the path that Mr. Gong and Sister Qin usually have to take, where can there be a mechanism? Pit your own? "Busy followed.

Jia Huan thought about it and reasoned, and trotted down.

The two of them looked down the neat bluestone steps under their feet with excitement, but they didn't pay attention to where Qin Keqing broke it from, and the tunnel entrance was closed. The surroundings gradually darkened, but seeing a bright light coming from in the distance, Jia Cong couldn't help but "snort".

Qin Keqing waved the fire fold and said with a smile: "Actually, only this small section of the road is to be fired. If you are familiar with it, you don't need to make it. Then he led them down. Jia Cong secretly admired in his heart that Prince Yizhong was really rich, this authentic repair, spacious and neat, it was like a subway station that later generations often walked.

Sure enough, when I turned a corner in front of me, the oil lamps were burning on both sides. Jia Congqi said: "Wouldn't it be a waste to just keep lighting the oil?" ”

Qin Keqing said with a smile: "Originally, there were not many people leaving; There was a mechanism on the wick, and I don't know what it was, but when we closed the door, we activated the mechanism by the way, so the light came on. When we have passed this section, we will close this place, and naturally there will be a mechanism to buckle the wick, and it will be extinguished. Then start the first paragraph. ”

Jia Cong pursed his lips: "Should it be...... Many of the donors of Shinmuan used the lamp oil to make their wishes here. ”

Qin Keqing turned his head and glanced at him: "You are smart and tight." ”

Jia Cong grimaced, he just remembered the nun in the original book who lit the lamp to Jia Muhuayuan. The two children followed with joy, and there were wide bluestone floors and oil lamps all the way, and they couldn't help but praise again and again, "It's so good to repair!" ”

They walked for five or six miles, and suddenly saw an upward bluestone ladder at the bend in front of them, and sure enough, they saw Qin Keqing and said with a smile: "It's really Wunun above, do you want to go up?" ”

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "We are all young, men and women are fine, and it is not bad to go to the Buddha to offer incense." ”

Qin Keqing nodded, and really led them up and opened the tunnel.
