- The messenger actually came from Kyoto, which is very different from the secret messenger who usually travels back and forth between the two places in the northwest. Came to the study with the messenger, knowing the true origin of this dusty messenger, Lin Shan thought that he had brought the emperor's secret decree, and was about to make a big gift to the king, but was stopped by the messenger in advance.

"Lord Lin doesn't have to be like this." Seeing that although Lin Shan was the emperor's righteous brother and was also highly relied on by the emperor, he was thousands of miles away, and he still adhered to the emperor's courtesy for the emperor's righteous brother in Beijing, and the messenger's heart couldn't help but be a little touched.

Even if the token he brought was really from His Majesty's hand, it was a secret document, and there was nothing wrong with the secret affairs. But what he brought this time was really not His Majesty's handwriting, but Lin Shan didn't question it at all, which shows that his courtesy and loyalty to His Majesty were completely from his heart and naturally revealed.

And held the small square box with both hands and handed it out, the messenger bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "This thing is really entrusted by the Song family Ruan Gongzi, and with Ruan Gongzi's advice, the items in the box must be moved lightly."

Hearing the messenger mention Ruan Gongzi, Lin Shan's heart quickly appeared with the figure of an old man, he just listened to the messenger's statement that the small square box was not from the palace, and his expression eased, and soon became solemn again.

More than ten years ago, it was roughly in this part of northern Xinjiang that Lin Shan met Ruan Chenggang, who had worked for Wang Chi in the border army tent for several years. In non-wartime, the two often talked with each other, and often gained some new ideas from each other, and in the later wartime, the two also fought side by side many times, and the friendship between friends was tempered in iron and blood.

It's a pity that Ruan Chenggang died too early, and he didn't even take a look at the victory scene of Wang Chi's entry into Beijing, which was not only a great regret, but also made his comrades-in-arms feel helpless and depressed, and it was difficult to disperse for a long time.

Now the son of the deceased has grown up. Estimating the time, it was almost the day of his crowning gift, but Lin Shan's impression of this son was still only the figure of a child and the words like hooks on a few short letters that had been sparsely exchanged in the past year.

Receiving the small square box respectfully handed by the messenger, Lin Shan thought about some old things, and his hand holding the box couldn't help but stagnate. When the messenger saw this, he remembered something. Pull out the sleeve dagger and place it horizontally on the box. Lin Shan's gaze fell on the dagger, and he came back to his senses, and naturally thanked him, and then took the dagger to cut the hard fire paint on the edge of the box.

Seeing this, the messenger immediately bowed his hand and said: "Secret letter and secret matter, subordinates should avoid it first."

Lin Shan nodded and handed back the dagger. When the messenger had gone out, he lifted the lid of the box, and found in it a brown paper bag that had been bulging all the time.

In fact, Lin Shan is no stranger to this box. The top coat of wood paint is both fireproof and waterproof, as is the sealing fire paint, while the kraft paper inside the box is more flammable, but it can be used as the first choice for moisture protection. Seeing these two layers, he could already understand that the bag contained paper objects.

and the external force that can damage the paper. Except for water and fire, it is torn. Lin Shan remembered what the messenger had just conveyed, so he didn't tear the envelope directly with his hands. Instead, he took the paper bag and walked to the sword stand in the corner of the bookshelf.

Although the sword that Ke Jian made by the mountain, although it was identified by Lin Shan as not being used for brute force hard slashing, the sharp edge of the sword was still a good product, and it was not a problem to blow hair and break hair. Lin Shan pulled out his sword halfway from the sheath, closed the paper bag, and only knocked it lightly, and the mouth of the bag was immediately neatly disconnected.

The bag contains this booklet, although it is blank, but it is not difficult to see that this is the kind of booklet that is dedicated to businessmen to do accounts, which is also suitable for Ruan Luo's status as a businessman today. Lin Shan smiled slightly. Pushing back the hilt of the sword, he flipped through the pages of the booklet, and soon saw a piece of tissue paper sandwiched inside. The look in his eyes suddenly became solemn.

The paper contained in the white book was actually slightly thicker than ordinary paper, but compared to the amount of silver it carried, it was easy to look at it and make an illusion: was it too light?

A few days ago, when Yan Yu chartered a venue in Dongfeng Building, he opened a short bill of 3,000 taels of silver, using a ticket that could only be used in the Yan family to exchange money and goods in cash. Perhaps he would never have known that within two days, this ticket had been carried by someone for more than a thousand miles overnight, and had been sent back to a place in the north that was very close to him, but it had been delivered to another person.

Although Ruan Luo came forward to pay 3,000 taels of silver to Dongfeng Lou in order to keep this ticket, so that this piece of paper, which should not be convincing after crossing the border between Liang and Zhao, has practical significance, but this real energy only has an effect of a maximum of one month, and it is likely to be turned back into a useless piece of paper to be crumpled and invalidated.

Since meeting the emperor in Kyoto three years ago, and knowing that the emperor was going to cooperate with the Yan family on a major matter, Lin Shan has been constantly infiltrating the Yan family general chamber of commerce in various manpower methods since then, and he has never stopped for three years, and he has known the limited value of this kind of ticket.

In addition, considering that the Yan family, who is now in his fifties, is afraid that he will not have to work for a few years, he should give up his position and let his three sons who have already become a weapon take over, Lin Shan did not forget to let people observe the habits and personalities of the three sons of the Yan family, because he never believed that the sincerity of the Yan family could be worthy of Wang Chi's trust.

Judging from the business regulations formulated by the Yan family themselves, the tickets are not impossible to be set aside, this kind of thing cannot be done by others, but the three sons of the Yan family can barely do it.

Yan Yu issued an empty ticket for personal matters, although three thousand taels of silver was not small, it was not an amount he couldn't afford to pay privately. And with his personality, whether he is looking for a certain business of the Yan family to fill this account loophole, or he pays for it out of his own pocket, it will be difficult for this empty ticket to stay with Ruan Luo for more than a month.

Lin Shan walked to the door to the light, carefully inspected the Yan Shang empty silver ticket hidden in the white book, ruled out the possibility of damage and photocopying, and believed in the authenticity of the ticket, and put it back in the white book.

Returning to his desk and sitting down, he pondered for a moment, then took a bottle from the drawer, and took an unused sheep's pen, slipped it into the bottle, and began to write quickly on the title page of the white book.

After only a dozen words were written, he put the pen away, and the title page of the white book was still blank, only a few more water marks. At this time, even if someone stood in front of him, they would not know what he had written.

And when the water stains dried quickly, and there was no water shadow on the white book, he could close the book. He took a small square box and a brown paper bag, put the booklet in, closed the lid and sealed it with fire paint as usual, and then shouted out of the door, but not the messenger.

Jiang Chao walked into the desk in response, and before he could speak, he saw two small square boxes on the table, one was torn by fire paint, the lid of the box was opened, and the other was completely sealed. There was a smell of burnt paint wafting through the air in the study, and it was obvious what Lin Shan had just done.

Lin Shan handed out the box that had just been sealed, and there seemed to be a residual heat of licking fire on the edge, and said, "Send a group secretly, so as to be fast."

When Wang Chi was stationed in northern Xinjiang, when his belief in loyalty to the imperial court of the previous dynasty had not been completely extinguished, his greatest ideal was to completely eradicate the northern geese that often disturbed the people. In order to seek secrets about the Beiyan court and the military's two Zhenguo mansions, Wang Chi secretly trained five groups of special soldiers, but he didn't expect that these five groups of people spent more than ten years, and they never ate the secrets of the Beiyan military, but later played an important role when the Wang family army rebelled against the Zhou Dynasty.

After the change of dynasty, the emperor left two and a half groups of these five groups, half of them continued to lurk in the Beiyan Imperial Court, and two groups of people were handed over to the envoy of Lin Shan.

Jiang Chao was originally a member of the fourth group active in Kyoto, and he was among the five groups, although he had not dealt with the group that had been active outside Beijing for a long time, but he knew very well what the group was mainly about. In fact, the instructors of the group members have long been prepared for the possibility of group cooperation in the future, and all the members of the five groups know what kind of functions they occupy, which is one of the contents of the special training, but everyone does not know the specific list of each group.

Jiang Chao answered the call and took the small square box, didn't say anything, and strode out of the house.

The messenger who went directly to the group was someone else, and Jiang Chao, as the messenger of Lin Shan, naturally knew the specific location of this person living in seclusion in the town.

After Jiang Chao left, the messenger from Kyoto walked in and asked, "Does Lord Lin need a letterhead from his subordinates to transfer Kyoto?"

The messenger mentioned something, and Lin Shan immediately remembered something, nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, but you have to aggrieve the messenger to stay here for a few days first, and you still need to wait for a reply to the letter."

The messenger remembered the things entrusted to him by the cronies of the forest cedar who had strode out just now, and glanced at the box on the table that had been broken, and quickly understood, and said with a smile: "The subordinates dare not speak of grievances, but they want to disturb the adults for several days because of this."

"Disturbing?" Lin Shan seemed to remember something, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "I have a complete house here, and there is enough wine and meat, so I won't be annoyed if I keep you for a year and a half." It's just that...... You must not be drunk and manic, and you must not think about finding a woman, otherwise it will be a real nuisance. ”

Lin Shan said these words with a stern expression, and the messenger from Kyoto couldn't help but show embarrassment on his face, and he coughed dryly: "Don't dare to ......"

This small town where Lin Shan lives is in a barren place near the northern border, and if the military map is sparsely drawn, it may not be possible to find the specific location. Standing on a hill with few trees and grass, you can see the limestone blocks on the mountainside at a glance, and when you look ahead, you can see that in addition to the gray ground, the gray wind is indeed not as prosperous as Kyoto.

And it was only after he had said a few words that the messenger understood why he had just said that.

The so-called keeping him for a few days is actually a bit like house arrest. Lin Shan took the initiative to arrange a place for the messenger to live, because his face was unfamiliar, and walking in the town by himself was afraid that he would attract suspicion, and as a messenger, his personal safety also represented communication security. And as a result, he may have to stay in the house for the next few days, and he will not even be able to get out of the yard.
