On the second day after a while, Lin Ling arranged for Wen to adjust the feathers into Bian. He also sent a capable family member, Lin Fu, to Bianliang to comprador goods--in fact, to escort Wen Diaoyu and his party on the road. The north wind was blowing, and the boat was moving very fast. Wen Tiaoyu is a person who has experienced the hardships of beating grass valleys, although he is seasick, but he also endured it, and after arriving at Qingyang Port, he rested for a day and went on the road again.

At this time, the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty was frightened, and even Dengzhou and Laizhou were also shocked by the invasion of the Jin soldiers. Zhao Mingcheng is a gentle scholar but not a strong commander, helpless in the face of changes, or Dengzhou sent a letter to him to calm down, help him set a strategy, and allocate manpower and material resources to deploy along the glue. Under the guidance of a certain public opinion, the Shandong Peninsula has become a relatively safe place, and many people on Jingdong Road are running this way, but Wen Tiaoyu's carriage is going west against the flow of people. Although it is an official road along the way, the public security is extremely poor, and if it weren't for Lin Fu's intelligence, he would almost not be able to reach Bianliang.

When Wen Tiaoyu arrived in Bianliang, Zong Han had forced Taiyuan, and Zong Wang stopped attacking after hitting a few hard nails in Zhongshan and Baozhou, and ordered Guo Yaoshi to drive down for the forward. The cities of Hebei were more than fortified, but no one dared to go out of the city after the field battle was broken, so Zong Wang's soldiers traveled thousands of miles as if they had entered a no-man's land.

The Great Song Dynasty was afraid of danger up and down, and the emperor Zhao Ji and his favored ministers all changed color when they heard the word Jin Bing, and they didn't discuss the battle and defend the plan all day long, just thinking about how to escape. When Wen Tiaoyu entered the city, he happened to meet the imperial court sending an envoy out of the city, Lin Fu and his party hid aside, and waited for the people out of the city to pass through, so they managed to enter the city and come to the Qilin Tower.

Now the entire Bianliang may not be so panicked by Zhou Xiaochang, the owner of the Qilin Building, firstly, because they have the big backer of the Han Ministry, and secondly, they are well aware of the habits of the Jin people, and they feel that even if Kaifeng Mansion is unfortunately captured by the Jin people, they should have a way to deal with it.

This great Song Jingshi Lin Fu has been here several times, so he knows Zhou Xiaochang. Zhou Xiaochang knew what the status of the Lin family was, and when he saw Lin Fulai, he asked, "How did you enter the city at this juncture?" But what's the matter? ”

Lin Fudao: "I brought the latest issue of the bibliography. It turned out that after Yang Yingqi failed to help Song to take Yan, he was in full swing to collect Bianliang's cultural relics and books, and sent a long list of books almost every month for Zhou Xiaochang and others to try to buy Dongyun. The Han government did not intervene in this matter, but entrusted the Lin family to do this.

Zhou Xiaochang took the bibliography and said, "That's it?" You don't have to come in person, do you? ”

Lin Fu said again: "I also escorted a lady over." ”

Zhou Xiaochang glared and said, "A lady? What lady? ”

Lin Fudao: "It's a singer. You can find a way to arrange a place for her to settle down, and settle her well. Lin Ling originally wanted Wen Tiaoyu to appear as everyone's girlfriend, but Wen Tiaoyu thought that the scope of everyone's girlfriend's activities was too narrow, but it was easy for prostitutes to hand over to all kinds of people, so it was easy to find out the news. Besides, she is a stubborn and persistent person, and she doesn't want to pretend to be innocent, so she still wants to appear as a singer.

Zhou Xiaochang was very surprised when he heard this, and pulled Lin Fu aside and asked in a low voice, "You explain it to me, what's going on?" Who the hell is this singer? ”

Lin Fu also said in a low voice: "I actually don't know very well, but I see that our head of the family attaches great importance to this person." Not only did he want me to keep this man safe, but he also commanded me to 'serve' for a good life. ”

Zhou Xiaochang's eyebrows tightened when he heard the word "waiting", Lin Fu's status in the Lin family is not low, let him serve a prostitute, the origin of this prostitute must not be simple! This kind of thing that doesn't know the details is the most difficult to do, so Zhou Xiaochang refused: "If you can't tell this matter clearly, where does this singer come from, I don't dare to take over!" ”

Lin Fu cried and said with a sad face: "Aren't you making it difficult for me?" ”

Zhou Xiaochang said: "It's not that I make it difficult for you, it's you who make it difficult for me!" What time is it now, you still send such a person to tell me how to take over! ”

Lin Fu frowned for a long time and said, "That's it! I really don't know who this woman is. But we also guessed that you would shirk it, so let me bring you a word. ”

Zhou Xiaochang asked, "What words?" ”

Lin Fudao: "Our master said: Tell Zhou Xiaochang that if the Seventh General knows about this woman, he will try his best to take care of it." ”

Zhou Xiaochang paused and said, "Lin Dangjia...... Why didn't she say it? ”

Lin Fudao: "I asked the same too, but listening to Lin Dangjia's meaning, it seems that the woman herself doesn't want too many people to know about her, so Lin Dangjia doesn't dare to tell others." Also, our head of the house also explained that about the second general, if we can know about it, we can let this woman know. Don't let the second general know about her, though. ”

Zhou Xiaochang listened to these two sentences, and added two more awe to the identity of the singer, who Lin Ling is, where would he not know! Even Lin Ling didn't dare to offend the singer, what kind of singer was that! Don't...... This woman was sent from above to spy on her? But it doesn't look like it! Hearing this, Zhou Xiaochang already knew that he couldn't shirk it, so he had to ask some about this singer, and came to meet him, Wen Tiaoyu also knew Zhou Xiaochang's identity from Lin Fu, so he used the etiquette of the singer to the owner.

Zhou Xiaochang was about to tell her about how to settle down, when someone suddenly pushed the door in and shouted, "Oh no! Seeing a strange woman inside the door, he hurriedly shut up.

Zhou Xiaochang dragged him aside and asked in a whisper, "Panicked, what's wrong?" ”

"Second, the second general, they were taken as spies!" Then said the details: It turned out that Cao Guangbi, Deng Su and Shi Kang were recommended by Wang Shizhong to enter Bianliang as courtiers from other countries, ask to see Zai Fu, and Chen Kangjin Bao Song's strategy. If Cao Guangbi's return had occurred before the Jurchen invasion, the Great Song court might have been well received. But now that the Jin people are killing violently, the emperor and the prime ministers are terribly afraid, lest they offend the Jin people, and add more truth, where do they dare to contain Cao Guangbi? What's more, this Cao Guangbi still has what kind of anti-gold and protection Song! How to do such things as anti-gold! Besides, did Da Song Lun get an unidentified Cao Guangbi from you to protect him? At that time, the prime minister did not dare to play the emperor, and directly said that Cao, Deng, and Shi were spies and sent to prison.

Zhou Xiaochang's face was as frightened as earth, Lin Fu looked at it and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Xiaochang thought that this matter was not top secret, and after thinking about it, he decided to say it: "The second general, they were arrested as spies. ”

Wen Tiaoyu almost fell on the spot when he heard the sound. Zhou Xiaochang saw it in his eyes and said in his heart: "Could it be that this woman has an old relationship with the second general?" Is it the second general's person? No way! However, in that case, there are many things that make sense. Well, this matter can be reported to the Seventh General! ”

Suddenly, someone outside rushed in and said, "Second Master Lin is here." ”

Zhou Xiaochang and Lin Fu glanced at each other, they naturally knew that Second Master Lin was Lin Yi, although Lin Yi no longer asked about the Lin family's business, he was Lin Fu's young master after all. Since he entered the Song Dynasty with a loyal army, there has been a secret order from Jinmen: the secret princes of the capital are all subject to Lin Yi's moderation. Therefore, Lin Yi is also Zhou Xiaochang's boss!

The matter of Cao Guangbi's imprisonment was too big, Zhou Xiaochang did not dare to deal with it arbitrarily, he had to report it and wait for a reply, and he was afraid that the time to save people would be delayed.
