Chapter 295 Human life is more important than money

Qu Shiyun's complaint once again stimulated the pride in Lin Xiao's chest.

"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek ......"

Even if he exhausts his whole life, he will finish this game of chess and try his best to change the original historical trend, and he feels that God has given them this arduous mission by letting them cross over.

It's a pity that I'm too young, and I don't know how to explain some words to Qu Shiyun, after all, people don't know what happened on the land of China two hundred years later.

It would be nice if Lao Chen was here, with his experience, there must be a way to convince Qu Shiyun to convince the people of this era that everything they did was right.

Thinking of Lao Chen, Lin Xiao's mood was bad again.

He walked to the window, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and quietly looked out the window.

Not surprisingly, Lin Xiao's hand inadvertently touched the copper coin in his trouser pocket.

"By the way, Ge Lao, look at this ......"

Lin Xiao stretched out his right hand and showed the Yongle Tongbao in his palm.

"It's a ...... Ancient coins, where did they come from? Qu Shiyun took the copper coin and said in surprise.

"It was found at the scene of the murder ......"

Lin Xiao roughly described the situation at that time.

"You mean, the sailor named Swift still holds it in his hand when he dies?"

Qu Shiyun looked stunned after hearing this, and looked at the copper coin.

"Exactly...... In your opinion, could there be any clues hidden? Lin Xiao said with anticipation.

Qu Shiyun thought about it, walked to the window, raised the copper coin and looked at it again and again at the light, muttered for a long time, frowned, and said, "Strange ......"

Lin Xiao: "My lord? ”

Qu Shiyun raised his hand, and was silent for a long time before asking, "The Dutch have already recruited?" Did they plan this? ”

"Yes, it's done."

"Have you recruited them, and who are the killers who were sent?"

"This ...... No...... Said it was uninformed. ”

Qu Shiyun frowned slightly and said, "Shuangmu, I'm afraid, this matter still needs to go to the big man before it can be revealed." ”

Lin Xiao: "How do you say this?" ”

Qu Shiyun smiled faintly: "I just found a little strange, but ...... It does not match the confession, so it is just a suspicion, and no conclusion can be drawn. ”

"My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Come and see,"

Qu Shiyun handed over the copper coin and said softly, "This copper coin, is it too smooth?" ”

"This kind of coin has been out of circulation for more than 100 years, and if someone likes to collect it, it makes sense......

Without waiting for Lin Xiao to speak, Qu Shiyun continued to say slowly,

"However, the money is badly worn out, unless someone plays with it every day, however...... There are a lot of Yongle Tongbao in the world, even if it is an ancient coin, it is not necessarily very valuable, unless it ......"

"Unless what?" Lin Xiao said hurriedly.

Qu Shiyun looked up at the window, his eyes were deep, and he replied: "I remember, there is a group of people who used coins as family emblems......

"Clan coat of arms?" Lin Xiao's heart jumped.

"Hmm...... They have a habit of embroidering the family crest on the flag, or ......"

Qu Shiyun turned his head and said slowly, "Or, it is attached to the chest of the clothes as a status symbol." ”

"Who is it?"

Lin Xiao's eyes froze, and he asked urgently.

He is not stupid, the meaning of Qu Shiyun's words is already obvious to him, it is very likely that Swift struggled to the death and dragged the family emblem off the murderer's chest?

"Shuangmu, I'm just speculating and skeptical, I can't really ......"

Qu Shiyun waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "It's just that if that's the case, then the murderer ...... It won't be the Dutch. ”

"You're saying that the Dutch don't have this as a family emblem?"

Lin Xiao suddenly said, "Could it be that we are from the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"I'm afraid...... Neither is it. ”

Qu Shiyun shook his head, his expression mysterious and unpredictable, "However, if you want to confirm my suspicion, there is only one way to do it now, catch the leader of the Dutch people and torture ......."

Lin Xiao: "Uh......"

Qu Shiyun turned his head and laughed at himself with a wry smile: "So, I didn't say anything, did I?" ”

Lin Xiao couldn't cry or laugh: "......"

You're an old man! This pass is sold!

Can you still talk well?

At this moment, there was another burst of gunfire from the north, and a signal soldier hurriedly entered, raised his hand and saluted: "Report to the commander-in-chief, urgent telegram!" ”

Lin Xiao hurriedly took the telegram and saw that it was Zhang Chenfeng who came: "The reinforcements of the fourth regiment have arrived, and I am attacking the gate." ”

"Situan, it's fast enough......" The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth twitched, and he said in surprise.

Originally, I wanted to wait for He Shouxin and send them to reinforcements after they came back, but now it seems that Xia Bomin's soldiers are strong enough!

……

Before he could call back, Fu Xinrui, the commander of the first company of the reconnaissance battalion, came back.

It turned out that Fu Xinrui quickly went up the mountain with two platoons in the early morning to replace Zhang Chenfeng's sniper team, but it turned out that they had nothing to do on the mountain except for disposing of the corpses, and they couldn't do anything.

There is no enemy situation in the harbor, and there is no need for heavy troops to monitor anything, and they can't use those cannons, they can only watch, so many people are guarding a few big iron cannons, it's a waste!

Therefore, Fu Xinrui immediately made a decision, left the three squads of the second platoon, stationed three batteries respectively, and took a platoon himself, escorting less than 100 francs of machine artillery, and came down the mountain again.

After listening to his report, Lin Xiao nodded and handed him a new task.

"You take an interpreter to the barracks to interrogate the prisoners, and those prisoners will be repatriated to the country in principle, but ......"

Lin Xiao stared at Fu Xinrui with deep eyes, and said slowly, "I heard that there are people who are unwilling to go back, you can publicize it, are there any ...... who are willing to stay as mercenaries?"

"Mercenaries?" Fu Xinrui blinked, not quite understandable.

"That's it, this ...... The kind that is willing to fight for us, and we pay, understand? ”

"Understood, Commander-in-Chief." Fu Xinrui grinned.

"In this way, foreigners like to sign agreements, you can promise them, tell them, the salary ...... It's okay up to one hundred taels a year,"

Lin Xiao groaned, "You can sign for one year or three years...... By the way, don't those two officers, don't they have a colonel, and ask them, if they want, promise them to double their salaries. ”

If there is the restraint of the officers, many small problems and contradictions can be solved internally by themselves, which can save a lot of trouble.

"Yes." Fu Xinrui responded.

"If they have any other requirements, you can consider them at your discretion, and try to get this matter done as well as you can......"

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief,"

Fu Xinrui said loudly, "They dare to be verbose, Lao Tzu cut them!" ”

"Cut off your head!"

Lin Xiao said angrily, after talking for a long time, you are a pig brain, can you still listen carefully!

"Listen, use your brain, think more about how to agitate, I want someone to charge for us...... Don't be afraid to spend money, human life is more important than money, got it? ”

"Got it!" Fu Xinrui stuck out her tongue and straightened her chest.

"Go ahead, I don't understand that Lao Tzu beat you!"

"Yes!" Fu Xinrui raised her hand and saluted, turned around, and ran out of the door.

……

Seeing Fu Xinrui's back, Lin Xiao grinned, and was about to find Qu Shiyun to continue the topic just now, but saw Li Tao bring a few plates of food with a communication squad guard, and urged him to eat.

It turned out that half a day had passed unconsciously, and it was already past dinner.

While the three of them were eating, Fang Yuchun came in again, followed by He Shouxin and Chen Qice.

"Eh, our naval heroes are back,"

Lin Xiao greeted loudly, "Come, come over and eat some together." ”
