In the forest house.

Lin Yanchao and Chen Jichuan were about to talk in detail, but they saw Lin Qianqian coming.

Chen Jichuan knew that Lin Yanchao had never talked about business in front of his wife and children, so he stood aside with his hands down.

Lin Qianqian came to Lin Yanchao with a big belly and asked, "Has Xianggong eaten at the Shoufu Mansion?" ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "After eating tea and pastries, it is enough to be full." ”

Lin Qianqian said: "Then where can I pad my stomach?" I ordered the kitchen to leave a bowl of lotus root porridge today, and I will bring it to the minister. ”

"Okay."

Lin Qianqian said: "And tomorrow you take a rest, accompany me to Huguo Temple for incense." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded in agreement.

After Lin Qianqian left, Chen Jichuan said: "Master, so let's simply go to Nanjing to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites." The old man was still young, and two or three years later, he was transferred to Beijing as a waiter, and it was a matter of course. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Ning Si advances for a while, and Mo Si stops for a moment." Don't you know my character? When you fight, you can't be left behind, why be polite to others? ”

Chen Jichuan said: "So what does the master think it should be?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The waiter of the Ministry of Rites will push, and generally recommend two people to the circle of heaven." Shoufu originally planned to nominate me and Xu Zhangyuan to wait for the decision of the Son of Heaven. The reason why I am asked to serve as a nanli attendant at the moment is because Zhang Whale stepped in sideways. Therefore, between the first and second assistants, there is the intention of leaving Xu Zhangyuan in Beijing and letting me go to serve as a nanli servant. ”

Chen Jichuan suddenly said: "I see. If any of the two of Xu Zhangyuan and the old man were appointed as the servants of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Shoufu would be happy to see it. ”

"Xu Zhangyuan's qualifications are better than mine, and I have the favor of the Holy Family, so in the end, my chances of winning will be greater. But Zhang Whale wants a place, so Shoufu can't help but give him this face. Zhang Jing's move not only prevented me from serving as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, but also framed me for a crime, and I will not be allowed to enter the cabinet in the future. ”

Chen Jichuan listened to Lin Yanchao's analysis, and if he looked at the lines clearly, he couldn't help but admire them deeply, and then asked, "Master, what should we do?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "It is both to attack and defend, first you go to find out who Zhang Whale wants to protect as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and then on my brother's side, you also have to let Master Qiu figure out what means they use." ”

Chen Jichuan listened to the moment and said: "Then the villain will do it immediately." ”

The next day, Lin Yanchao rested, so he accompanied Lin Qianqian to Huguo Temple to make incense.

This Huguo Temple is the place where the incense is very strong in the capital, walk into the temple door from the street, and then there is a three-way crossing, the south is the cherry sloping street, the north is the iron tree sloping street, the street is full of restaurants, tea houses, and there are a lot of performing arts on the roadside.

Lin Yanchao, Zhanming, and Lin Qianqian all came in regular clothes, and there were six family members on the left and right. In the distance, there are also capable soldiers drawn from the Cao army by Qiu Mingshan, who are also secretly protecting.

The bigger this official becomes, the more cautious Lin Yanchao becomes.

After entering the incense, Lin Qianqian didn't come out for a long time, so he wanted to go shopping. Lin Yanchao also accompanied her.

But Lin Qianqian was pregnant with Liujia after all, and he was tired after walking for a while, so the two of them sat down in a restaurant with a big teapot sign hanging in front of the door of the roadside.

Tea soup restaurants are different from roadside stalls, in addition to selling tea soup, there are also people who eat wine and tell stories.

Lin Yanchao walked into the restaurant, and there were two young people who looked like scholars in the corner of the restaurant, holding Tianli newspapers, eating something and talking about loyalty and filial piety from the newspaper.

Lin Yanchao and Lin Qianqian sat down, and Xiao Er immediately came to greet him.

Lin Qianqian ordered a bowl of tea soup, Lin Yanchao asked for a bowl of lotus root noodles, as for Chen Jichuan and the two family members were sitting at another table, the rest were at the door.

This tea soup is not tea, but is made with millet noodles, sugar and osmanthus cake in a bowl, and then brewed with boiling hot water.

After Lin Qianqian entered Beijing, he liked this very much.

After Lin Yanchao's lotus root powder was soaked, he saw two officials coming in at the door of the tea soup restaurant, and after looking left and right, he stared at one person at Lin Yanchao's next table.

The other party's color immediately changed, and he left the table and fled to the back door, and at the same time, this person also threw a handful of tea soup towards Lin Yanchao and Lin Qianqian.

Lin Yanchao has been paying attention to this person with his spare eyes, and immediately protects Lin Qianqian's body. Zhan Ming reacted faster and kicked the table into the air with a loud shout.

The table topped over to block most of the tea soup that had been spilled.

Lin Yanchao protected Lin Qianqian, the soup was blocked by the table, and only some were splashed on his robe.

Lin Yanchao was furious, this tea soup is brewed with boiling water, what if it burns someone? What's more, Lin Qianqian is now a pregnant person.

"How? Is there something wrong? Lin Yanchao asked nervously.

Lin Qianqian was also a little shocked, and shook his head at the moment and said, "It's okay." ”

Then Lin Qianqian exhaled, touched the bulging lower abdomen and said, "He's okay too." ”

Lin Yanchao breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the person who poured the tea and soup at the moment, but saw that the two scholars who were sitting in the corner of the table had already held him, and they also took the chain to hold the other party.

These two scholars were actually ambushed here early by officials in regular clothes.

An official messenger looked at Lin Yanchao, and knew that he was a person with an identity, and immediately lit up a waist card with the word 'punishment' written on it and said: "The criminal department is on an errand, arrest the key criminal, fortunately did not hurt your lady, and Rong will make amends in the future." ”

After saying this, the official immediately said: "Bring the prisoner back to the yamen for interrogation!" ”

At that moment, several people escorted this person away, and they were going out of the door.

But I heard Lin Yanchao say: "Slow! ”

But when he saw the family at the door, he stopped the other party.

The official frowned and said, "What? What else is there to do with you? If our criminal department is delayed in handling the case, no one can afford it. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Don't come to oppress people on official business, this person intends to assassinate the official, and the official can't let it go, so you will leave this person and hand it over to the official for interrogation." ”

The official grabbed the prisoner with one hand and said solemnly: "But a bowl of tea and soup is spilled, how can it be said that the assassination is carried out, I don't know where this lord is on a business trip in the yamen, under Li Hong, the head of the Criminal Department Supervision and Arrest Department." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "It turned out to be Li Zhutou, and the Supervision and Arrest Department of the Criminal Department is under the jurisdiction of the Qingli Division, Zhang Langzhong of your Zhili Qingli Division, Cheng Yuan, and the three principals are all familiar with each other, can you take this person away with this sentence?" ”

The official heard Lin Yanchao tell his boss one by one, and knew that this person was not small, but he had to say: "Lord Qiqi, this person is a key criminal named by the above, and he is an expert in making counterfeit silver. ”

Lin Yanchao nodded to Chen Jichuan, and Chen Jichuan took out a tooth card from the green bag on his sleeve.

This tooth card is the thing of the Beijing official to the court, and this official is really this person who is the minister of the court when he sees the tooth card.

Then the official raised his head respectfully and glanced at the official rank behind the tooth card, and immediately gasped and said: "The villain is clumsy, I don't know that the bachelor is coming, and the villain will go back to the errand." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded, thinking that this person had a little eyesight, and said to Chen Jichuan: "Give him my post, if the officials of the Criminal Department ask, there will also be a credential." ”

Li Zhutou was overjoyed.

After the official left, Lin Yanchao looked at the prisoner, and then said, "Take it away." ”

After returning home, Lin Yanchao asked Zhanming to torture him, and finally confirmed that this person was really a thief, and he made this decision when he was desperate.

Lin Yanchao also knew that this person was unlikely to deal with him, but he had always been careful, and he had to ask to understand, in case someone instructed him to arrest him, it would also be a witness. Especially at this critical time, you can't be sloppy in the slightest.

Chen Jichuan said to Lin Yanchao: "In order to survive, this thief confessed that he still has more than 10,000 taels of fake silver to buy his life with fake silver, it's really a joke, what are we doing with this fake silver?" ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "It's okay, you lock this person up for another three days, take what you have asked in the past, repeat and ask him a few more times, if there is really nothing suspicious, just hand it over to the head of the criminal department, Li Zhutou!" ”

Chen Jichuan said again: "Master, Master Qiu is here." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Let him in." ”

After a while, Qiu Mingshan, who was wearing a cloak, entered the house, although he was now the master of the Lin Mansion, but Lin Yanchao did not leave him in the mansion so as not to attract attention.

"I've seen Dong Weng."

"Mr. Qiu has come well?"

Qiu Mingshan said with a smile: "Tuo Dong Weng's blessing is quite smooth, from Shandong to Tongzhou, I immediately came to see Dong Weng." ”

"How's the matter of smuggling salt?"

"There are people on the land and on the water, and there are two or three thousand taels of silver a month, which is the account book for Dong Weng to see."

Lin Yanchao put the account book aside and said: "Don't put the money of private salt into Beijing this year, and it costs money to recruit troops and horses in the canal." ”

Qiu Mingshan said with a smile: "The brothers on the water will be righteous, and everyone just hopes that someone will take the lead, not be oppressed by officials, and not seek wealth." ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "That's good, then you look at this money, if I can speak in the court in the future, then the matter of this luck will also come to a change, maybe you can set up a gang on your own, sandwiched between the court and the snake along the river, as long as you grab the salt on the canal, it is equivalent to lying in the silver mountain, and I will let you take care of this matter at that time." ”

Qiu Mingshan was overjoyed in his heart, and lowered his head and said yes.

Lin Yanchao said: "This time I asked you to enter Beijing because I was in trouble." ”

Of course Qiu Mingshan knew what Lin Yanchao's intention was in cultivating him?

At that moment, he said: "Dong Weng, I have brought enough people into Beijing, and you can say a word if you want money and people." ”

"Okay, have you found out about my brother?"

Qiu Mingshan said: "I found out ......"

At that moment, Qiu Mingshan recounted, Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "Zhang Whale really has a way of doing things, this is to get the stolen goods." ”

Qiu Mingshan said solemnly: "In the past few years, we have followed Dong Weng's instructions, and we have also had a lot of our eyeliner distribution in Beijing. Is Dong Weng going to deal with Zhang Whale? ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "Don't be careless, Dongchang is Dongchang after all, and there is the support of the imperial court behind it, so you can't touch this tiger's whiskers." But then again, if Zhang Whale wants to deal with me, then even if he is a tiger, I will have to pull out a few of his teeth. ”

Qiu Mingshan asked, "Does Dong Weng have a plan?" ”

"Originally, there wasn't, but when you came, there was."
