At this time, although Yang Lin's words were not golden words, they were like an enlightenment, instantly waking everyone up, no longer secretly immersed in the excitement of the task about to be executed, and immediately realized what his problem was. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

They did not send a sonorous reply, did not say anything, but showed their attitude with their actions, telling Yang Lin that their marshal had not forgotten the camouflage technique, still remembered, and could skillfully apply it.

Just for a moment, for a moment or three, without any hesitation, twenty-five people moved one after another, each of them released a deflated balloon, their spirits became sluggish, and their backs were slightly rickety, revealing a flattering look, all kinds, very much like ordinary people, people who specialize in strength, although their disguise is a little rough, but it is enough, not so grandiose, there is no feeling that people can't remember it if they don't want to.

At this moment, everyone is very ordinary, without that heroic and extraordinary atmosphere, the team is no longer neat, it has become scattered, and the legs are slightly bent.

Qu Kun was shocked and surprised, he didn't expect the twenty-five people to change so quickly? Didn't expect them to change their roles so easily?

As everyone knows, this performance, twenty-five people have already practiced countless times, even if it is a look, a demeanor, they will do their best to imitate, and strive to be vivid, now they are very familiar. Otherwise, how could they be in the selection of special combat personnel?

At this time, Yang Lin patted Qu Kun's shoulder, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Ah Kun, it's okay this time, right?" ”

"En, it's okay, it's almost the same as ordinary people, it's the same." Qu Kun nodded again and again, almost subconsciously answering, still in a daze.

Yang Lin left through the secret passage, Qu Kun took the twenty-five people to go through another underground passage, the corner of his eye would always look at the cloud team, and the curiosity became more and more intense, but he didn't ask, although the posture of the twenty-five people at this time was so ordinary, there was a sense of distance that rejected people thousands of miles away, so that Qu Kun didn't know what to say and couldn't communicate and exchange.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Macau, a merchant's house, in the living room, two people sat looking at each other, looking very similar, one of them was Feng Zhuogan, who used to serve the governor Zhao Shanqing, specializing in the nitrate business, and now it is under the management of Yang Lin, and the other is his younger brother Feng Zhuocai.

"Brother, what do you mean by this letter from Yang Lin? At the same time, he asked us to accuse the Luzon merchants of buying and selling nitrate sand privately, and at the same time, he also asked us to secretly inform the Luzon merchants that their private collection of nitrate had leaked and was known to the Yamen of Xiangshan County. ”

Feng Zhuogan thought about it, still holding the letter written by Yang Lin himself in his hand, his eyes opened and closed, and he was silent for a long time.

"Brother, what the hell are you talking about, what should we do? Do you listen to Yang Lin's kid, or listen to the hints of the governor before, don't let Yang Lin take over the nitrate business smoothly, and try to let him suffer some dark losses and pay some price? ”

Although he didn't understand Yang Lin's intention to let him do this, in the face of his younger brother's eager words, Feng Zhuogan seemed to have an idea, and said without thinking: "At least, we can't listen to the governor, Zhao Shanqing said kick away, kick us away, it can be seen that the two of us are two little shrimps in his eyes, dispensable, and can be used as cannon fodder at any time." ”

"What's more, if you really do what he said, and secretly stumble Yang Lin, the two of us will not benefit, but will be suppressed and retaliated by Yang Lin, and the gains outweigh the losses. Moreover, Governor Zhao Shanqing didn't say to bless us, why do we still do that, listen to him? ”

Feng Zhuocai didn't have that impatience, he became a little calmer, thinking about his brother's words, he felt that it was very right, but he was afraid of the governor's power, and he still hesitated, wanting his brother to think again.

As if seeing the worry in his younger brother's heart, Feng Zhuogan continued: "Zhuocai, take 10,000 steps back, even if we do what the governor does, through the matter of the Luzon merchants, Yang Lin will lose a sum of money, and his flesh will hurt for a while. ”

"However, even if the nitrate sand of the merchants of Luzon is really confiscated by the yamen and returned to military funds, our business of supplying military supplies this year will lose a lot of silver, if Yang Lin does not take out the silver to fill our shortfall, we will have a hard time this year."

"Then big brother, if Yang Lin's kid really doesn't pay for the money, aren't you afraid that we won't listen to him and rebel against him? Having lost such a lucrative nitrate business, is he really willing? ”

However, speaking of this, Feng Zhuogan's eyes lit up, as if he had figured out something, and realized the intention of Yang Lin's letter, and couldn't help but answer the question again and again: "Brother, I know why Yang Lin asked us to do that?" Understand his intentions? ”

These words suddenly made Feng Zhuocai forget the topic just now, diverted his attention, and said curiously: "Brother, tell me quickly, why did that kid let us do this?" ”

Feeling his younger brother's eagerness and curiosity, Feng Zhuogan did not immediately explain the mystery, but asked step by step: "Zhuocai, if we report to the government that the merchants of Luzon have secretly hidden more than 2,000 loads of nitrate and Yiguan, what do you say the yamen will do?" ”

"Needless to say, there is no doubt that of course it was confiscated, but the nitrate is Kangxi, Yongzheng, and even Qianlong, all of which have been repeatedly decreed, explicitly prohibiting the Qing Dynasty people and foreigners from buying and selling privately, and violators will be seized at the least, and it is possible to cut off their heads at the worst."

Feng Zhuogan's expression slowly stroked his small handful of goatee, and on the surface, he had expected his younger brother to answer like this, and asked again: "The day after we secretly report, if we secretly inform the merchants of Luzon that their private collection of saltpeter is already known to the government, what will the merchants of Luzon do?" ”

"Of course, it is to transfer the hiding place, so as not to be confiscated by the government, so as to avoid the punishment of the laws of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, more than 2,000 loads of nitrate sand, which is a large amount of goods, worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, is not a small amount. ”

At this time, no matter how reckless Feng Zhuocai acted, he realized the crux of the problem and understood what his brother Feng Zhuogan wanted to say, so he still said with some uncertainty: "Big brother, you mean that Yang Lin deliberately asked us to do it, just so that the nitrate sand hidden by the merchants of Luzon State would not be discovered by the government?" ”

"Yes, that's it, as long as the saltrate of the merchants of Luzon is not confiscated by the government, it is not confiscated as military supplies. Then, our nitrate sand business will not be affected, and there is still supply and demand for the army's nitrate, and he Yang Lin can get filial piety from us this year. ”

"Oh... I see, I didn't expect the newcomer to be so familiar with the military supply in Guangdong Province, but he just took over our nitrate business for a few days, and he actually knew so much. ”

Feng Zhuocai's exclamation reminded Feng Zhuogan and caused him to think deeply, his contempt for Yang Lin was slowly fading, and he paid attention to it, and he didn't dare to play tricks easily, Feng Zhuocai's voice sounded again.

"Big brother, since this is the case, I will arrange manpower to secretly report the illegal possession of nitrate by the merchants of Luzon, and secretly remind the merchants of Luzon the next day to let them quickly transfer the goods."

However, at this moment, the scheming Feng Zhuogan suddenly showed a wicked smile and said evilly: "Brother, you said that if we notify the merchants of Luzon and secretly send someone to monitor them and obtain the location of their harboring goods, so as to blackmail them and let them sell the nitrate to us at a low price, whether our brothers have made a windfall, others don't know." ”

Feng Zhuocai was slightly stunned, reacted instantly, and said excitedly: "Big brother is wise, as long as we do it secretly, the silver earned from this business only belongs to our Zhuo family, and there is no need to share it with anyone!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, tacitly showing a cunning meaning, and did not say any more, already knowing what they should do, just waiting. (To be continued.) )
