Chapter 429: Extinguishing the Mouth
Beidi.
The clear stream flows in a hundred flowers, although there are no bees around, but it is also extraordinarily purple and red, even better than the south of the Yangtze River. A few wild horses were grazing on the grass with their heads bowed, their whole bodies were dark and shining in the sun, and in the air, a few geese flew back, and there were bursts of clear sounds. Lin Feng found the imperial doctor who diagnosed Lin Fuya's pregnancy.
"Say, how long has the queen been pregnant! If you dare to lie, Prince Ben will kill you! Lin Feng put his sword across the neck of the imperial doctor.
Although the imperial doctor accepted Lin Dong's silver and promised not to say it, where is the silver important, he trembled and said, "The queen is two months pregnant. ”
Lin Feng was stunned, and slowly, he put the sword back.
"Did you lie to me?"
The imperial doctor replied: "The minister does not dare to risk his life to protect the queen!" ”
Lin Feng nodded, "Very good, this prince believes in you." ”
The sword in his hand fell, but before the imperial doctor could react, his head had already fallen to the ground.
"Since it is really my child, it is even more impossible for me to spare your life, lest you tell others the same." Lin Feng said to the corpse of the imperial doctor, wiped the blood on the sword, jumped on the eaves, and left.
The next day, the Imperial Physician died, and Yelu Gu was shocked, "Why did the Imperial Physician suffer such a poisonous hand?" He has just diagnosed the queen Youxi! ”
Lin Dong said: "The minister has checked, the imperial doctor died very easily, and there is no trace of struggle, indicating that he died at the hands of someone he knew, and that person is also strong in martial arts, and he can enter and leave the imperial doctor's house at will." ”
Jerugu said, "Then on the day of the death of the Imperial Doctor, who went to the Imperial Doctor's house?" ”
Lin Dong said: "I asked the servant of the imperial doctor, and he said that he only heard the voices of two people coming from the room, but that person did not come in through the main door. However, listening to the voice is a young man, and the Beidi dialect is not very good, and it seems to have the dialect of the Central Plains. ”
Yelu Gu was shocked, "There is only one person in Beidi's dialect mixed with Central Plains dialect. ”
Lin Dong lowered his head, at this time, Lin Dong couldn't protect Lin Feng anymore, Lin Feng left such a big flaw, "Maybe there was a misunderstanding." ”
"If it's Lin Feng or not, I'll know if Lin Feng comes over." Yelu Gu then asked the servant to hide behind the curtain, and Xuan Linfeng came over.
Lin Feng walked in with a heavy heart, "Father." ”
"Where was Feng'er last night?" Jerugu asked with a smile.
"Read in the study." Lin Feng replied briskly.
Jerugu said, "The Imperial Doctor died last night. ”
"Oh, which Imperial Doctor?" Lin Feng was very calm.
Yelu Gu asked Lin Feng to leave, and then called out the servant.
"Back to the emperor, last night's voice was exactly the same as the prince's voice." The servant said.
Yelu was shocked, and his hands trembled in pain, "Why did Feng'er do this? Could it be that the Imperial Doctor has any secrets for Feng'er to know? ”
Lin Dong said: "The emperor is angry, maybe the prince is just impulsive. ”
Jerugu waved his hand, "You all stand down, I need to be quiet." ”
Lin Dong and the others had no choice but to retreat.
Yelu Gu asked the eunuch to look through the schedule of monthly letters from several concubines in the palace, "including the date of the queen's letters." ”
The eunuch immediately went to investigate. Jerugu waited.
The Great Ming Dynasty.
"Tell the prince that there is another situation of harassment by enemy troops on the northern border."
"How many enemy troops are there?" The prince asked with concern.
"A small force of enemy troops, about a dozen people." The servant replied.
This little force can only harass you, but it doesn't pose any danger.
But the security of the border still made the prince a little worried.
"In this case, it is unnecessary to send troops to attack," Lin Zhongchao clenched his hands into fists and said slowly, "You can build fortifications in the northern mountains and wait for work." ”
"His Royal Highness King Yu's suggestion is good," an old general kept nodding and said, "Compared to the defenders, the fortifications can be guarded around the clock." ”
The prince also felt that Lin Zhi Zhongchao's opinion was good.
But after a while, a trace of sorrow appeared on the prince's face.
"This kind of fortification is laborious and hurts the people, if you can not do it, it is better not to do it." The crown prince still cares about the people, but at the same time, he is also worried about the defenders.
"The prince can rest assured, he only needs to allocate some silver taels from the treasury, and he doesn't need the people to work." Lin Zhongchao said confidently.
The prince was overjoyed, "As long as you don't requisition labor, then do it quickly." All you need is to get it from the treasury. ”
Lin Zhongchao was appointed to take full charge of this important matter.
The labor required to build such a large fortification is not a few hundred people.
Lin Zhongchao did not requisition the people, but focused his eyes on the prisoners in the cells.
Lin Zhongchao ordered that anyone who was not guilty of homicide could sign up to participate in the construction of the fortifications, and once the fortifications were completed, the clan could have his sentence commuted or released from prison early.
As soon as the news came out, the prisoners were excited and signed up one after another, and soon, Lin Zhongchao gathered the required labor.
The northern border, a barren and continuous mountains, outlines the border of the Great Ming Kingdom.
After Lin Zhongchao's investigation, it was decided to start construction at the ridge and build according to the situation.
This meant that the laborers had to transport the boulders from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
If it weren't for the restoration of freedom, I'm afraid few would be willing to do this kind of hard work.
In order to prevent people from cutting corners, Lin Zhongchao even required that each boulder be engraved with the name of the corresponding laborer.
Once the boulder does not meet the requirements or other problems arise, then Lin Zhongchao can trace the source and find out the person involved.
Therefore, everyone did not dare to slack off, and they all did exactly what Lin Zhongchao asked.
The progress of the construction of the fortifications also proceeded as scheduled according to Lin Zhongchao's plan.
The huge hardship also makes the laborers more and more tired.
In order to ensure that the fortifications were completed on schedule, Lin Zhongchao also spent a lot of money to prepare food such as beef and dried buns for the laborers. These silvers came from Lin Zhongchao's private room.
And every seven days, the laborers can drink once and rest for the night.
The laborers are grateful to Lin Zhongchao for his compassion, and they are even more conscientious in doing things.
And some people, who are cut and scratched on their hands and feet, continue to do things.
The fortifications, which stretched for hundreds of miles, were built little by little, and although it cost a lot of silver, not a single common man was requisitioned.
Some of the freed prisoners also volunteered to stay and become defenders.
Lin Zhongchao also brought some of them capable to train soldiers.
In order to reassure the soldiers left behind, Lin Zhongchao also sorted out a piece of nearby land to build a house and farm.
Gradually, a small village also appeared.
Lin Zhongchao caught a few Beidi deserters on this day, and learned from them that Lin Dong had served as a national teacher under Yelu Gu, and he was in a high position.
