Beijing, Lin Mansion,
Lin Chunqiu was leaning on the bamboo chair, listening to the report of his subordinates, his brows furrowed, his whole body seemed to be on the verge of erupting at any time, and he stared coldly at the trembling subordinates kneeling on the ground in front of him.
"Tell me what happened in Xiaoyu Village."
"Family...owner!"
The subordinate's voice was trembling, and he seemed to be in a state of extreme fear.
He lowered his head, almost touching the ground. He could even smell the smell of blood in the soil, and his mind couldn't help but recall some of the rumors he had heard.
As a result, the shaking of his body became more and more obvious.
"Excuse me, please inform the head of the family that when our people arrived at Xiaoyu Village, Liu Yuanwai had already been taken away."
"There is an additional position of field officer in Xiaoyu Village. I heard that it was newly appointed. It seems to be related to the new policy of allocating farmland."
"New position?"
A sneer flashed across Lin Chunqiu's cheeks.
"Why don't I know that there is a new position this week?"
"Didn't you arrest that field officer and torture him severely?"
Upon hearing this question, the subordinate's entire body began to tremble violently.
"Let me tell you, Patriarch, it's not that we don't want to do this, but... it's just something that cannot be done!"
Nothing can be done? ?
An imperceptible flash of surprise flashed across Lin Chunqiu's wrinkled cheeks.
He snorted sullenly and asked:
"Why can't you do anything?"
"Master, you don't know something. In this capital, our Lin family's spies are now in an advantageous position. But once we leave the capital, the situation will be much more complicated!"
Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on the face of the spy who belonged to the Lin family.
"Actually, our Lin family's spies were superior to His Majesty's West Factory in terms of quantity and quality. But I don't know when, those West Factory spies seemed to have changed."
"They seem to be more professional than us, and the tools they use are even more sophisticated and unheard of!"
"Even... even their cultivation is much stronger than before. Although they are not warriors, they are extremely good at fighting skills. We are no match for them."
Hearing this, Lin Chunqiu's expression changed.
He naturally knows whose hands the West Factory is now.
But he didn't expect that a mere eunuch trapped in Youzhou, thousands of miles away, could actually affect his plans!
"Yang Dong!!"
He slapped the table so hard that the tea cup on the bamboo table was knocked to the ground.
The scalding tea spilled to the ground, splashing a lot, and even a lot of it fell on the back of the Lin family secret agent.
But at this moment, the secret agent of the Lin family did not dare to move. He was still lying on the ground, breathing rapidly and trembling.
In the bamboo garden,
I have been so silent for an unknown amount of time,
Until the Lin Mansion secret agent thought that he might be doomed this time.
He was not afraid of death, just a little worried.
I heard that my parents have newly allocated a field and are now stocking up on grain for next year.
After so many years, he finally managed to plant his own land, but as a son, he could not help much.
As a son of man, he felt guilty!
Just as he was thinking wildly, Lin Chunqiu's slightly tired voice suddenly came to his ears.
"That's all. The head of the family understands these circumstances. Please step back."
Retreat? ?
The head of the family doesn’t punish me? ?
The secret agent of the Lin family couldn't even believe his ears!
When did my master become so kind?
In the past, didn't he like to kill as a warning to others?
Although he was extremely confused, he understood that he seemed to have escaped.
So he immediately stood up in a panic and kowtowed heavily to Lin Chunqiu. Then he cautiously left the bamboo garden.
It wasn't until he left for a long time that the nervous beating of his little heart slowed down.
On the other side, in the bamboo garden,
Lin Chunqiu's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was taking a rest.
But at this moment, two words came out of his mouth.
"Lin San."
The next moment, Lin San's figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Chunqiu, kneeling on one knee and saying:
"I'm here, may I ask the master of the house for any instructions?"
"You must have heard clearly what happened just now and tell me what you think."
Lin Chunqiu still had no intention of opening his eyes, and his tone seemed a bit lazy.
However, Lin San will not slack off because of his condition. On the contrary, at this moment, he was extremely nervous.
Others may not know this, but as one of the people who knows Lin Chunqiu best, he naturally understands that the current situation of his family leader is not as peaceful as it seems from the outside.
It's not so much calm as a volcano on the edge of erupting.
The reason why the head of the family did not explode, but chose to remain silent. It's not because he doesn't want to explode, but because the head of the family is a smart man. He knows the current situation very well and needs to think rationally.
After a short silence, Lin San opened his mouth somewhat tentatively;
"To report to the head of the family, my subordinates think that the matter with Xiaoyu Village is something they have accidentally dealt with."
"But... I'm afraid I can't hide the relationship between Liu Yuanwai and you. After all, he holds a lot of treasures and land deeds given by you."
Lin Chunqiu rolled his eyes, but still did not open them.
He sighed softly and continued to ask:
"In that case, how do you think the Lin family should take action now to make up for the losses?"
Lin San frowned slightly when he heard this.
He knew that the head of the family was testing him.
As a result, his answers became more cautious.
"The head of the family... my subordinates believe that the top priority is to recover the lost property as soon as possible. In addition, Liu Yuanwai must die. He knows too much about you. If the people of the little emperor find out, I am afraid there will be some trouble." .”
"But now that the entire capital is under the control of the family leader, trouble can only be trouble."
Hearing this, Lin Chunqiu's face became slightly better.
"continue."
Lin San pondered for a moment, then continued talking:
"The secret agent just now also said that outside the capital, the secret agents of our Lin family do not have an advantage. But the head of the family must not forget that secret agents are secret agents after all. The one that can really play a decisive role on the battlefield is the army."
"Therefore, my subordinates believe that the army should be mobilized now to surround Xiaoyu Village, and then arrest the Laoshizi Si Tianguan and interrogate him about the whereabouts of Yuanwai Liu."
"In this case, there is still a chance for things to be rectified."
"It won't make us passive...However, this matter is not without risks."
"Now we don't have enough soldiers. If we encounter the army rushing back to rescue us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape unscathed."
