I saw the contents of the box, the gilded shell was shining, and under it was a cube-shaped box, and a big horn was on the box, which turned out to be a gramophone!

Lin Yuan was puzzled, and muttered in his heart: "What did he give me a gramophone for?" ”

Long Ye gave Dahan a look, Dahan fiddled on the gramophone for a while, and there was a melodious sound of music from the speaker, and with the music, Long Wu smiled and said: "This is a rare thing in the West, it can sing a small song, what do you think of my gift?" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Is he just here to give gifts?" I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I had to follow him down and say, "This gift is good, I don't know what kind of gift I should give back?" Lin Yuan's words also have a deep meaning, that is, I will also give you a gift, and none of us owe anyone.

Long Ye waved his hand, and the big man walked outside with interest, and there were only two people left in the room, Long Ye and Lin Yuan, and then Long Ye smiled: "My lord, you have been transporting goods on the small dock for a long time, and the people on this dock have a family to support, and their wages are all paid by me, and now the small silver turnover is tight, and there is no money to send to the people on the dock, and they are not willing to take your goods." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yuan immediately understood the meaning of the gift he sent, the reason why Long Ye bowed down to Lin Yuan and paid for Lin Yuan to transport the looted materials was because Lin Yuan had evidence of Long Ye's "rebellion" created by using recording and synthesis techniques, and Long Ye sent this gift, which was to tell Lin Yuan: "Your evidence is no longer effective, because there is something that can make a sound." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "If you want to say that others don't have money, I believe it, but if you want to say that your Dragon Master has no money, I don't believe anything!" How come there are 100 tobacco houses in Beijing and Tianjin, aren't the opium cigarettes in these tobacco houses all given by your master Long? ”

Long Ye said with a smile: "Transporting opium smoke is a harmful thing, and I, Long Wu, will never do it." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "If you still pretend to be like me, it's okay, I'll find a chance to uproot you." Thinking of this, Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Since Master Long is indeed in difficulty, then it is not good for me to spend Lord Long's silver anymore, in this way, you can tell me a number, and see how much money I want to give you?" ”

Long Ye stretched out a finger and said, "Ten thousand taels of silver." "Master Long is eating Lin Yuan and must transport things here, so the lion opened his mouth and paid the workers on the dock, which is not needed so much.

Lin Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "It's good, that's the number, I'll give it to you, but no one can take out such a large sum of silver for a while, you wait," Saying that, Lin Yuan called Liu San in, pointed at Long Ye, and said to Liu San: "Butler, do you see, this is Long Ye, you go and raise silver immediately, 10,000 taels, if you raise enough, personally send it to Long Ye's mansion." ”

Long Ye stretched out his thumb, praised the word "refreshing", and led the big man to say goodbye, Liu San said: "My lord, do you really want to give so much silver to that hurtful thing?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Of course not, I'll just say that." ”

Liu San asked, "Then what if he comes to us?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "You know these things better than me, just find an excuse to break him up, and use me to teach you?" ”

Liu Sanyi patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, look at my head." ”

At this moment, the little guy came in and reported: "Master Zhang Jian Zhang asks to see." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes has appeared?" Then he commanded, "Please!" ”

Liu San called his family at this time, carried the box and the gramophone away, Zhang Jian came in, and did not stick to those etiquette, and when he saw that there was no one left and right, he came to Lin Yuanyuan and said: "Sure enough, someone came to ask me if I wanted to transfer the factory in the past few days, but ......."

Lin Yuan asked, "But what?" ”

Zhang Jian said: "There are several comes, and I don't know which one is the road, but the man is really among them." ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "You wait first, don't worry, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely suppress other competitors, and the one left behind the most is the mastermind behind the most." ”

Zhang Jian nodded in agreement, didn't stay long, turned around and left, Lin Yuan was alone in the house, silently thinking about these people today, Sun Yuwen, Yushan, Long Ye, Toushan Man. In the matter of Zhang Jian's factory, Toushanman is the most suspicious, and it is very likely that Long Ye has acted as a pawn for Toushanman, so will Long Ye tell Toushanman about his robbery of the British merchant ships? It shouldn't be, Long Ye is just cooperating with Toushan Man to seize Zhang Jian's yarn factory, and it has nothing to do with him, so Long Ye naturally won't talk about it.

Lin Yuan stood up and paced back and forth in the room, can you think of a way to include these people, like weaving a sky net, in this net, solve everyone's problems.

For several days, Lin Yuan had been silently thinking about how to weave this sky net, and this morning, Liu San happily ran in and said, "Congratulations, my lord, you are in high school!" ”

Lin Yuan was not surprised by this result, that Li Lao was a veteran who had specialized in Baguwen for more than ten years, and his talent was also good, so it was natural to be admitted, Lin Yuan smiled faintly, and Liu San said again: "Three days later, the palace exam, with the ability of adults, will definitely be able to come back with a champion." ”

Liu San has been used to seeing too many people who are ecstatic when he takes the exam for most of his life, and when he sees Lin Yuan today as before, he can't help but secretly give a thumbs up in his heart! Liu San said again: "It has always been the day after the test list is released, and the person who passes the exam has to go to the examiner's house to apprentice, what do you have to prepare?" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "The main examiner is Weng Tongyi, if I go to see him, it will be troublesome for him to find out that he can't write Baguwen, so don't go." So he said, "I'm not going." ”

As soon as Liu San was about to persuade, Lin Yuan broke him away, Liu San had already stepped out of the door with one foot, and suddenly turned around and said, "My lord, didn't you ask me to send a greeting to Sun Yuwen and Lord Sun yesterday?" Sun Yuwen, that old thing, actually pretended to be sick and didn't want to see you. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "How do you know that he is pretending to be sick and not seeing me?" ”

Liu San said: "The little one is familiar with the housekeeper in Lord Sun's house, so he told me. ”

Lin Yuan originally planned to meet Sun Yuwen, but he didn't expect him to deliberately avoid himself, it seems that this Sun Yuwen is well versed in the way of self-preservation, and he is worried that he will offend Weng Tongyi by getting too close to him, Sun Yuwen is an important part of his plan, without him, the future plan will not be able to be implemented.

It just so happened that the palace test was coming, and Lin Yuan planned to take the opportunity of the palace test to meet Sun Yuwen and show his plan.

The day of the palace examination is coming soon, and the people who will take the exam are waiting in the side hall, they are nervous and excited, but Lin Yuan is like a person who has nothing to do, looking for Sun Yuwen easily.

Sun Yuwen is the secretary of the criminal department, and he must be present during the palace examination, if the emperor feels that which of the people in the examination is not talented enough to learn, and there is a suspicion of fraud, he will be sent directly to the criminal department, and the secretary of the criminal department will be severely tried and sentenced!

Lin Yuan walked up to Sun Yuwen and said with a smile: "Is Lord Sun's body better?" ”

Sun Yuwen didn't have the courage to hang Lin Yuan on the spot like Weng Tongyi, he returned the salute and said with a smile: "Lord Tolin's blessing is almost good, if it weren't for the tedious case in the past few days, Laishan would have already come to visit." ”

"Laishan" is Sun Yuwen's word, the ancients liked to use "words" to call themselves, Lin Yuan said: "If you had seen me earlier, your illness would have been cured a long time ago." ”

Sun Yuwen was puzzled and asked, "What is it for?" ”
