Lin Yuan originally planned to go out lightly, but how could he have thought that he would have other tasks temporarily. In desperation, he could only select all the people to leave the capital, originally only planning to take three or five people, but now he brought a team of people. Nearly 100 people went south, and they were afraid that they would be targeted before they left the capital.

As soon as he left the city, Lin Yuan called Shishi and Zhang Li to the car and ordered: "Let's move too much, spread out on the road, Zhang Li will take a few people to follow me." In the world, you follow the carriage, walk slowly on the road, remember, don't make a fuss if someone follows, but don't miss the news that I am not in the car. ”

"Yes, young master (grandfather)." After receiving the order, the two of them dispersed with their own people. Zhang Li was specially transferred back from the army by Lin Yuan, and this time he went south to inevitably deal with people in the army, and it was convenient for him to take Zhang Li with him.

The news of Yasukuni's southward movement has made many people a little puzzled, because the Yasukuni Gongfu said that it was because of private matters that he went south, but what kind of private matter made Yasukuni so anxious that he personally went south overnight.

Cui Mansion in the capital, listening to the report of his subordinates, Cui Ming looked at his father, saw that he was still thinking with his eyes closed, and couldn't help but say: "Father, this Yasukuni Duke must have been ordered to go south, and it is a trick to find a benefactor, and he is definitely going to the embankment case." ”

Glancing at Cui Ming, who was a little impatient, Cui Yan said: "Calm down, calm down, how many times have I told you about this?" Cui Ming responded, then lowered his head and said nothing. Seeing that he was a little unconvinced, Cui Yan said: "Everyone knows that it is a disguise, but what can you do?" Halfway interception? Whether you have the courage or not, will this be successful? ”

"But now that the news from the south is coming, the Xue family may not be able to withstand it." Cui Ming said.

"The virtuous live in it, such a heavy weapon, not to mention whether the news is true or false, it is obtained, how can his Xue family deal with himself? Although I am in Beijing, I still know a little bit about what you juniors do in private. Facing Cui Yan's sharp gaze, Cui Ming lowered his head.

"If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. Although you are acting in secret, have you thought about it, if it happens, will my Cui family have an accident first or his Xue family? Don't forget, ten years ago, in order to avoid suspicion, my Cui family moved to the capital. If you don't do this, my Cui family will be wiped out back then, when was it still thousands of miles away, and now it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, you are blind in this capital? Cui Yan said coldly.

Looking at Cui Ming, who was speechless, Cui Yan sighed helplessly: "You have been smart since you were a child, and you can only think about people at a young age, but sometimes it's not a good thing to think too much." During this time, you have thought about it behind closed doors at home, don't meddle in the affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang anymore, and have your own judgment for your father. ”

Cui Ming's body trembled, but he didn't dare to refute it, so he could only whisper. Clenched his hands until his joints turned white, he had worked hard for so many years, and he was about to achieve results, and now he completely denied his previous efforts in one sentence, but no matter how unwilling he was in his heart, it would not help. Jiangsu and Zhejiang have nothing to do with him now, because it was his father, Cui Yan, the head of the Cui family, who said this.

In the prison of Zhenjiang Mansion, good food and drink are provided every day, and there is a response to requests. Shen Bin had already recovered from the initial nervousness, and guessed that it was the news from his wife that made his current situation change, that is, Xue Li hadn't seen it in the past few days.

There was a sound in the prison, and watching the food delivery person follow behind a person in regular clothes, Shen Bin squinted his eyes and thought about it, tidied up the clothes on his body, and got up and saluted outside the prison door.

Yin Shidao, who was outside the door, looked at Shen Bin who was saluting curiously, and asked, "Do you know me?" ”

Shen Bin shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it should be my Shen Bin's savior." ”

Yin Shidao was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled: "I'm not, I can't save you with a mere guard." It's just a matter of being trusted. "Although Yin Shidao is a garrison in Zhenjiang, it is not in Zhenjiang Mansion all the year round, but in Yangzhou City. Although he is a general with military power, Jiangnan has never had any war, and at most he goes out of the city to suppress bandits. If you really want to be tough, you can't bear the Xue family's one round.

Yin Shidao motioned for his subordinates to open the door, sat down at the small table in the prison, looked around the environment and said, "It's the first time I've come to this kind of place." ”

"If you could choose once, who would want to come to a place like this." Shen Bin smiled bitterly.

"Oh, regret it? I heard Master Feng say that you were arrested for hiding tribute. Yin Shidao said with a smile.

"If you want to add sin, there is no excuse. That thing is just what my Shen family ancestor obtained, what kind of tribute is it. Shen Bin said, that thing is the Shen family heirloom, when he invited guests to his big wedding banquet, his father took it out and passed it to his hands, he never wanted to be targeted by Xue Li, and wanted to buy it forcibly. If you don't sell it, you end up like this.

Yin Shidao is not on this topic, he is not interested in whether it is a tribute, this matter is not a big deal in the Yasukuni Gong. Looking at Shen Bin, Yin Shidao turned to ask, "Do you know who saved you?" ”

Shen Bin shook his head, he asked his wife to enter Beijing to find someone, but he didn't think that Lin Yuan would be able to intervene in this matter, it was very likely that his wife had reported to the capital, and at that time he only hoped for the paper on his wife's body, not the sword he brought

"Speaking of which, I admire Mrs. Zun very much." Before Yin Shidao finished speaking, Shen Bin said eagerly: "Where are Shuang'er at the moment?" Is it still safe? ”

Yin Shidao was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ling is very safe at the moment, and she is still in the capital." ”

Shen Bin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his wife was safe at the moment, and then asked, "But she reported to the capital that caused the current situation." ”

"Shen Gongzi is really naïve, according to his Xue family's power, do you think someone in Beijing will help you?" Yin Shidao smiled and shook his head, "Do you remember saving someone when you turned around in the north?" ”

"Lin Yuan?" Shen Bin exclaimed, "I saved him, and he gave me a sword at that time. But I didn't think he could help me. ”

"Let Gongzi know that Lin Yuan is the current Shangzhu State Yasukuni Gong, and the sword he gave you is the heirloom of the Yasukuni Mansion." Yin Shidao explained.

Life is like a play, Shen Bin never expected that the person he casually saved in the north turned out to be a national prince. laughed: "If it is true, good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil." ”

Yin Shidao did not show any expression, for him, those who served as the personal guards of the Yasukuni Duke have experienced, almost all of those who survived on the battlefield like him have official positions, and even after dying on the battlefield, their families are also well taken care of. This situation like Shen Bin is really common.

"But after all, it is the Xue family standing behind Xue Li." Shen Bin didn't expect Lin Yuan to tear his face with the Xue family for him, it was already a great luck to save them.

"You don't have to worry about this, Yasukuni Gong is going south in the near future. The Xue family had his own to ask. I think the Xue family is much more nervous than you right now. Yin Shidao said.

Xue Li was indeed a little upset at the moment. Now that Shen Bin and the others are protected, they have no way to start, and the people on the Shen family's side have not found what they want so far. Now there is another letter from the Jingshi, saying that the Duke of Yasukuni is coming to Zhenjiang Mansion. Xue Li threw the letter aside irritably: "His Cui family is very calculating, and he turned around and became a shopkeeper, I think Cui Yan has been in Beijing for too long." Do things timidly. ”

After taking a sip of tea to suppress the anger in his heart, Xue Li said to the housekeeper on the side: "Go to Yangzhou and bring Mr. Shen back." ”

"Yes." Watching the housekeeper turn around and go out, Xue Li sat alone in the room thinking about the next countermeasures. The name of Yasukuni Gong is aimed at Shen Bin's matter, but I am afraid that he has other plans. At the moment, we can only take one step at a time.

Outside the city of Zhenjiang Mansion, looking at the moss-covered city wall, Lin Yuan took a breath, and the rapid horse running around for the past few days really cost him his life. There are many families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the relationship is intricate, which affects the whole body. Although the Shen family's Lin family is not a big family, Xue Li's dare to make a move proves that there are still people behind it, and one Xue family is not enough to be a blessing and prestige in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not to mention that he has a branch.

"Let's go into the city, find a place to live first, and send someone to the Yin Shi Dao Mansion to say it." Lin Yuan commanded.

"Don't you live in the town guard's mansion?" Zhang Li wondered.

"Right now, Yu Shi is still on the road, I have entered the town guard mansion at the moment, why is he walking so slowly?" Lin Yuan said speechlessly.

"It's the stupidity of my subordinates, so I'll go down and arrange it." Zhang Li sent one person to enter the city first to report, while he followed Lin Yuan and entered the city last.

All the way south, perhaps because the victims who entered Beijing provoked the wrath of the saints, and in three days issued fourteen imperial decrees, and the prefectures and counties of Jiangsu and Zhejiang began to quickly collect the victims in their respective territories and settle them locally. There are many porridge shops in the outer city of Zhenjiang Prefecture. Looking at the victims lying everywhere, Lin Yuan shook his head in his heart, and he was powerless to help at the moment.

The Jiangsu and Zhejiang families did not care about the lives of millions of people digging embankments and flooding fields, but how could the people know that they hated the corrupt officials of the imperial court, who could not only delay the emperor's plan, but also take advantage of the disaster to buy people's hearts. But even if the DPRK and China are so aware of the routine, they have no evidence in their hands and can only do whatever they want.

Seeing that Lin Yuan's interest was not high, they had seen a lot of victims along the way, and Zhang Li could feel Lin Yuan's sense of powerlessness. can only comfort: "Young master, this is the case after the war, the disaster in Jiangnan is a natural disaster, you don't have to blame yourself too much, hasn't the imperial court already allocated funds for disaster relief?" ”

Walking on the street with a horse, watching the shops on both sides of the street with rich families coming in and out from time to time, it seemed incompatible with the scenery of the outer city. Lin Yuan shook his head helplessly, Zhang Li was right, the victims of the disaster in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had a headache, and he was still talking about finishing the things in his hands now.

On the garrison mansion, Yin Shidao, who was not here in the past, has rarely lived here these days, and he was still a little surprised when he received the news that Lin Yuan had entered the city. He didn't expect Lin Yuan to come so quickly, he was afraid that there was something important: "Why doesn't Grandpa live in the Town Guard Mansion?" ”

"Back to Lord Yin, my grandfather said that living in the town guard mansion is too conspicuous, and my grandfather still has important things to do now." Said the person who sent the message.

"Got it, you go back and report to your grandfather, and say I'll go to the store in the evening to talk in detail." Yin Shidao thought for a while. The messenger bowed and withdrew.
