Chapter 136: Lin Yi's Calculations

Everyone agreed in unison, Lin Yi thought about it, called Ma Chao aside, and whispered to him: "This matter, the stakes are very high, you send a few of our capable dart masters to get stones for me to block the entrance of this Buddha Hall, and after a while, the imperial court has a will, and then we will transport these contraband back to the capital and hand them over to the emperor."

Ma Chao nodded yes, and the two walked out of the Buddhist hall together and walked towards the other courtyards of the inner house.

"My lord, I've searched all over it, but I haven't found any useful clues!" Some of the officers and soldiers who searched ran back one after another and said to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi frowned, very unhappy in his heart. This raid was very unsuccessful! Although a large amount of property was also seized, no evidence of collusion between Zhou Dechang and the bandits in Qinglong Mountain was collected, nor was a large amount of armor and weapons found, so it was not easy to deal with Zhou Dechang's crime on the charge of rebellion.

"My lord, maybe the other manors of the Zhou family will find something." Ma Chao saw that Lin Yi was not in a good mood, so he persuaded on the side.

Lin Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's right, maybe the other people who raided the house will find something, since the family's mansion has been searched almost this week, then let's go back!" At that moment, he led all the soldiers and returned to the palace together.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Lin Yi had not yet sat down in the chair when he heard a servant come in and report: "My lord, Zhang Tuiguan and Yan Tixing are here to worship!" ”

Lin Yi commanded: "Please!" ”

After a while, Zhang Ji walked in with Yan Tixing, and as soon as he met him, Zhang Tuiguan stomped his feet and said, "Lord Lin...... Governor Lin, you're in a big disaster this time! ”

Lin Yi smiled and asked, "Lord Zhang, what kind of disaster did I cause?" ”

Zhang Ji looked anxious and said: "Today, on the grounds that Zhou Dechang is the fourth county prince and is not within the court's pardon, you will take him down and take his house to punish him!" This incident will definitely arouse strong opposition from the princes and princes of the DPRK and China. Although the meaning of the Taizu Danshu iron coupon can be as you say, it can also be understood as the descendants of all generations. Many of them still hold great power in the court, and when they hear this news, don't they hate you to death? So they're going to think about it, and they're going to say you're in trouble. ”

Lin Yi said with a smile: "The prefect is now a monk for a day and hits the clock for a day, and I don't know tomorrow after today?" This week, Dechang's crime is extremely evil, not killing is not enough to anger the people, if you can use the body of this mansion to exchange for the bright blue sky of the people of Zhengding Mansion, this mansion has done it! "The look on his face was very resolute.

"Ahem!" Zhang and Yan glanced at each other and sighed at the same time. Zhang Ji thought about it for a while, his face showed determination, and he arched his hand and said: "My lord, this official is deeply taught by the saint, this time it's a big deal not to wear this official robe, and I am willing to advance and retreat with the adult." ”

Yan Tixing also preached on the side: "Count me in, Ben Tixing is also willing to ask for the people's lives." ”

Lin Yi smiled and said: "Two adults, don't talk about it so tragically, in fact, we look very dangerous this time, if we really dare to do it, I'm afraid that we will gain both fame and profit!" ”

"Oh...... What do you mean by that? Zhang Ji's eyes widened and he asked in surprise.

Lin Yi said with a smile: "Taizu's Danshu Iron Coupon was originally well-intentioned, but now it has become a confidant of the emperor and the imperial court!" Do you want to? The word "descendants", if it is really passed down for generations, how can it be obtained, sons and grandchildren, grandchildren and sons, only a hundred years, the descendants of these heroes and nobles can be increased dozens of times, if these people are grandiose in the street to kill people and goods, roaring in the court, even the emperor is also very big. I thought, he wished someone would stand up and change this rule? We just happened to be the first people. ”

Zhang Ji and Yan Tixing glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces together.

Zhang Ji asked, "Where! My lord, what shall we do? If I want to write a concerto, I would like to sign it together. ”

Lin Yi said with a smile: "Of course, this chapter has to be written, but we have to figure out the emperor's intentions everywhere, we only need to grasp three points, one is that the Danshu iron coupon can only be passed on to three generations, and there has never been a saying of eternity, and we have written down the harm we just talked about." The second is that the Anping County Duke is in Zhengding Mansion, and there are many illegal things, and the people are extremely angry. Third, the public of Anping County has amassed a large amount of ill-gotten property, which will be sent to the capital and handed over to the state treasury in the near future. With that, he took out the list of his house raids and handed them to the two of them.

Zhang Ji and Yan Tixing were surprised when they saw it. Zhang Ji said angrily: "I can't imagine that this Zhou Dechang is so greedy and has saved so much money, and the annual tax income of the imperial court is only more than 10 million taels, and his family wealth alone is worth one-fifth of the tax income of the imperial court!" ”

Lin Yi said with a smile: "So, we are in danger, in recent years, there have been major disasters in various parts of the imperial court, and the northwest has begun to use troops again, this money is like flowing water, which emperor can not be tempted by this large amount of wealth?" Dechang is dead this week, even if the gods come, they can't even save him! ”

Zhang Ji and Yan Tixing both nodded and smiled, their faces very happy. Yan Tixing tilted his head sideways, thought for a while, and asked, "Which ...... Which old prince and old lord in the court, how should we deal with it? Does Lord Lin have a clever plan? ”

Lin Yi said with a smile: "This week, the people of Dechang are very angry, we just need to tell him about his evil deeds in Zhengding Mansion, and the propaganda is known to everyone in the capital, but I am afraid that these old princes and old marquis are still afraid of getting on their bodies, and they want to get rid of their relationship with him?" ”

"Brilliant plan! Coup! Yan Tixing laughed, his face already smiling like a flower.

Zhang Ji opened his eyes, thought for a while, took the list of confiscations, put it in his arms, and said, "My lord, I will keep the stolen goods of the Zhou family for you!" After the destruction of the Maitreya Sect and the bandits of Qinglong Mountain, we will immediately send these belongings to the capital and hand them over to the emperor. ”

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Lord Zhang, the autumn grain of this household has not been handed over by this mansion yet?" Do you think you can take out some of it from the Zhou family first, hand it over to the household department, and wait for us to slowly collect the autumn grain, and then make up for it? ”

Zhang Ji Zhengse said: "My lord, this is not good! The stolen goods of the Zhou family are to be handed over to the emperor, but you can't embezzle them. If the imperial historians know, they will definitely impeach you, and if you don't get it right, you will be killed. For the sake of Lord Lin's reputation and life, the stolen goods of the Zhou family will be kept by this official, so you might as well think of another way! The tone was firm.

"Grass mud horse...... Grass mud horse ......" Lin Yi was so angry that he scolded more than a dozen times in his heart. If you don't take out the confiscated accounts if you know it earlier, why do you have to hide part of it privately? Now I don't get any stolen goods and greedy ink! I have to spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to collect autumn grain, which is really lifting a stone and shooting myself in the foot!

Zhang Ji arched his hand again and said: "My lord, tomorrow I will come with Yan to help the adult to try the case, now the household autumn grain is very urgent, the bandits in Qinglong Mountain are very rampant, and the Maitreya Sect is ready to move, so please concentrate on doing some things, and Lord Yan and I are willing to help vigorously." Speaking of this, he and Yan Tixing glanced at each other, bowed their hands together, turned around and left.

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, chased after him and shouted, "The two adults stay here, do you have anything to discuss?" ”

The two of them seemed to be deaf, strode out of the house.

"Ahem! My 800,000 stone grain, how to fly! Lin Yi sat on the chair with a bitter face. He just wanted to call the two of them in and covet Zhou Dechang's family wealth together, but when he thought that these two old gentlemen had always been decent and honest officials, he thought that it would be in vain, so he had to give up.

After Zhang Ji and Yan Tixing left, Ma Chao and Zheng Jie walked in from outside the house and saluted Lin Yi together.

Lin Yigang lost a large sum of silver, was in a very bad mood, and asked listlessly: "Brother Ma, Brother Zheng, what are you looking for me for?" ”

Ma Chao and Zheng Jie glanced at each other, and Zheng Jie stepped forward and said, "Lord Lin, my subordinates just came back from Qinglong Mountain today, and they have visited a confidential matter, and they are here to report it. ”

It is about the bandits of Qinglong Mountain, of course, this must be heard. Lin Yi cheered up and asked, "What's the secret matter?" ”

Zheng Jie bowed down and said, "My lord, according to the secret investigation of his subordinates, he found that the bandits of Qinglong Mountain turned out to be ...... It turned out to be our sworn enemy of the Zhengxing Dart Bureau, the group of Maitreya bandits who attacked our grain convoy at the border back then, and asked the adults to avenge us! ”

How could such a thing happen? What a coincidence! Lin Yi hurriedly sat up straight and asked, "How did you find out?" ”

Zheng Jie looked resentful, gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, back then, I went to the border with Brother Ma and Mr. Zhang, escorting grain and grass, but I didn't expect to encounter the attack of more than 1,000 masked bandits on the way, we fought desperately, but most of the grain and grass were burned, and more than 300 brothers died, among these people, there were ...... There was my own brother, the leader of the bandits with whom I fought at that time, who made a big knife, very fierce, and I heard his voice, and I still remember it in my mind. Today, I and a few brothers were checking the terrain around Qinglong Mountain, and by chance I ran into the three masters of the bandits in Qinglong Mountain, and as soon as he spoke, I heard his voice, and there would be no mistake! Speaking of this, his eyes were filled with tears and his expression was very excited.

Ma Chao bowed beside him and said: "My lord, when I escorted the military rations, our brothers suffered heavy casualties, and Brother Zhang Wukui was also punished by military law. We are in the middle of a dart game, and we would rather not have a penny of adults this time, and we will also kill these thieves to avenge our brothers! Please agree! ”

Lin Yi shook his head and sighed: "It's difficult! It's hard! We only have 2,000 old and weak soldiers in Zhengding Mansion, how can we defeat the bandits of Qinglong Mountain who are full of soldiers and food, this matter is only very difficult. ”

Ma Chao said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is actually not difficult, now as long as I send a letter back, within seven days, we are in the dart game, and there will be a large team of people to come to support immediately." ”

Lin Yi stared at Ma Chao's face in surprise and asked, "So fast?" You are galloping on horseback, running 600 miles a day, and you dart players will have to come in half a month. ”

Ma Chao smiled: "The adults are too underestimated of our dart bureau, in fact, our dart bureau came this time, and also brought three carrier pigeons, if it is released today, it will be able to return to the nest when it is dark, and the people of the dart bureau will be able to set off tomorrow, only five days, will be able to reach Zhengding Mansion." ”
