Chapter 31 Active Defense
Early the next morning, Lin Feng, who had basically not slept all night, got up to exercise and warm up, and after warming up, he instructed Wei San and Zhang Bin, who were warming up together, to call everyone in the house to the study.
At first, many people were talking and laughing all the way, but when they saw Lin Feng with a calm face, they quickly quieted down. Normally, Lin Feng treats the people in the mansion very relaxed and humble, and never puts a cold face on people, but today there was such a big change suddenly, which scared everyone at once.
Soon, five piles of people of different sizes and obvious boundaries stood in front of Lin Feng: Xiao Fei'er led Yaya and Feifei's pure female lineup, horsemen Li Qiang and Zhao Kai and their three family members, Lu Jiang, Shu Ya, Wu Qiao three guests, Wei San and Zhang Bin, and Kang Renjie, who was far alone and leaning on the rockery, this is the current lineup of Lin Mansion.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and said loudly: "From now on, there are several rules in the mansion, and everyone must strictly implement them.
1. From today onwards, Xiao Fei'er will take the lead in all internal affairs in the house; All external affairs are led by Mr. Lu Jianglu;
2. From today onwards, everyone in the house must be accompanied by more than two people, and no individual is allowed to leave the house without authorization, and no one is allowed to leave the house without important things; If you go out for more than half a day, you must let Phil or Mr. Lu know;
3. From today onwards, no matter who visits the Lin Mansion, no matter who receives them, they must be polite and never speak ill of each other; At the same time, the government is not allowed to receive any gifts from anyone;
4. All food in the house must be purchased by a special person in the market, and all drinking water must be carried to the well in the workshop.
5. No one must keep a low profile when they are outside, and they are never allowed to make a fuss;
6. Anyone who discovers anything strange, unreasonable, or unruly, no matter how big or small, must immediately report it to me;
β¦β¦β
No matter how big or small, Lin Feng listed all the precautions he thought of last night, which was part of the active defense strategy he had thought of. After finishing speaking, Lin Feng looked around at everyone and asked, "Is there anything you don't know?" β
When everyone heard these strict house rules, they all looked surprised and shook their heads mechanically.
Only Li Qiang raised his hand halfway, but put it down again. His actions were immediately seen by the sharp-eyed Lin Feng, who stretched out his hand and pointed at him and asked, "Li Qiang, if you have anything, just tell me." β
"Lord Lin, on the 22nd of this month, when the villain took the adult's talisman calendar to the Taicang Department for the first time to receive the adult's money and goods for the past two months, he felt that something was not right." Li Qiang said hesitantly.
Well, Lin Feng and Lu Jiang's brows immediately screwed together.
For the distribution of the Beijing officials, the Southern Tang Dynasty continued the practice of the Tang Dynasty according to the rules. "Tang Liudian" once described the responsibilities of the Taicang Department of Sinong Temple, "all the officials in Beijing will be sent to Jingcang to give", and there are "the names of the officials who receive Su" and "their years, months and dates" must "stand as inscribed", and "those who give public grain will inherit the provincial charm of Shangshu". The Fu calendar mentioned by Li Qiang is the voucher issued by the Ministry of Household Affairs of Shangshu Province to the individual officials of Beijing through various departments, and Lin Feng has always been a civil and prose official, so the Ministry of Household directly issued it to him. Because Lin Feng has always been elusive, he only received the two months' fortune talisman calendar a few days ago.
Lin Feng immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Qiang scratched his head and said while recalling: "On that day, after the presiding official of Jingcang saw the adult's calendar, he did not ask the villain to go with the crowd to move corn on the large pile of goods, but directly ordered the small officials on the scene to carry a large pile of things that had been put aside in advance to the car. The villain once asked curiously, for what Lord Lin obviously has more money than other officials at the same level, and the presiding official smiled and said that although Lord Lin has been a six-rank official for a few days, Shangguan said that it is necessary to abide by the holy will, and all of them are issued according to the two standards of four-rank officials and military officials. β
That's it, Lin Feng immediately realized that something was very wrong. I have been serving as the sixth grade Fengyi Lang for more than half a month, how can I receive a salary according to the official position of the fourth grade. Besides, there are very few civil and military attachΓ©s in the Southern Tang Dynasty who are part-time, and even if there are, the military positions they hold are generally honorary lords, military officials, etc., and the corresponding ones are not too much.
Lin Feng groaned slightly, and immediately instructed Lu Jiang and Xiao Fei'er to go to the treasury to inquire later, and load all the money and food that he should get from the sixth-grade Wensan official a month and the fourth-grade Wensan official a month into Li Qiang's car, and then Lu Jiang took the car to the mansion of Han Xizai, a member of the Yu Ministry, and waited, and asked Lord Han to go back to Jingcang together after going down to the court.
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he looked around again and asked in a loud voice, "Just like what Li Qiang encountered, who else among you has encountered such a thing?" β
Zhao Kai raised his hand, and Lin Feng immediately pointed at him.
Zhao Kai said with some uncertainty: "When the villain greets guests at the door these days, he finds that there will be a few small vendors not far from the door of the house in turn, and a few of them are not polite to the people who go to buy things, and they don't care, their eyes often look at the door of the house, and occasionally look at the villain, and they will soon turn their eyes." By the way, their faces and hands are very white, and the villain always feels that these people don't look like they do business on the street every day. β
Definitely there is a problem! Lin Feng glanced at Zhao Kai appreciatively, and said loudly, "Very good." Very carefully observed. Mr. Lu, you should look back and pay attention, don't startle the snake, just keep everything as usual. β
Lu Jiang nodded yes.
Lin Feng asked again, and when he saw that no one raised his hand to answer, he said loudly: "Everyone who has entered the Lin Mansion is my Lin Feng's family, please believe that I Lin will never treat everyone badly!" If you have any problems in private, just ask Fei'er or me directly, and I will help solve it within my ability.
But I want to emphasize that there is an iron rule in the Lin Mansion that no one can violate at any time! That is, no one is allowed to take a penny or the slightest benefit from any outsider at any time, and once it is found, expulsion from the government will be the most basic punishment! Alright, let's all disperse! β
Subsequently, Lin Feng called Xiao Fei'er and Lu Jiang, told some details again, and then took Zhang Bin and Wei San out of the mansion and went straight to King Zheng's mansion.
When he arrived at King Zheng's mansion, Lin Feng found that he was late, and Li Yu entered the palace early in the morning.
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, so he had to explain a few words to the guards on duty at the gate of King Zheng's mansion, and took Zhang Bin and Wei San straight to the Qingliangshan training ground.
It seems that yesterday's contest was still very effective! Some of the selected forbidden soldiers on the training ground were training weapons, and some were waiting in line for special basic training, all of them looked extremely serious and focused, and their previous laziness had been swept away. In particular, Lin Renzhao changed into a soldier costume of the forbidden army, and he also practiced very seriously.
Lin Feng went over to say hello to Lin Renzhao, Ge Chang and others, leaving Zhang Bin and Wei San to participate in the training, and he went to a wooden house on the edge of the training ground. There are three rooms in a row of wooden houses, which are temporary special training command posts.
On that day, Lin Feng basically didn't leave the wooden house for a day, he kept writing and drawing on the paper, and even Wei San brought lunch, until the second half of the night, Lin Feng called Zhao Tianba over and asked him to help write the special training outline and training plan.
After dinner, Lin Feng took Wei San and Zhang Bin out of the camp again and went straight to King Zheng's mansion. This time, Li Yu was waiting for him in the study.
Seeing Lin Feng, Li Yu, who was dressed in white, greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Lin, the guard said that you came to me in the morning, do you have something to tell Chongguang?" β
Lin Feng smiled: "King Zheng said that he laughed, where dare his subordinates, they just have some ideas and want to communicate with King Zheng." β
"Please Mr. Lin for advice!" Li Yu replied very politely and asked Lin Feng to sit down. Originally, tonight, Li Jingqian, the king of Chu, had already made an appointment with him to go out together to chant poems, but when he heard that Lin Feng was coming, he was ready to make an appointment with his uncle.
After Lin Feng sat down, he spoke directly: "His Royal Highness King Zheng, His Royal Highness the Ninth Congqian has been training with me for two months, and the changes inside and outside are very big, and he is deeply liked by His Majesty, I don't know how King Zheng feels about this?" β
As soon as this abrupt question was said, Li Yu was a little stunned, and looked at Lin Feng for some reason.
Lin Feng pulled the stool closer to Li Yu and whispered in his ear.
That night, the candlelight in the study of King Zheng's mansion was lit for a long time.
