Yue Rongren caught a cold, which made Lin Linyou feel distressed. He was busy boiling water for her to bathe and make ginger soup for her.
Yue Rong said: "Mr. Lin Qi, you have saved me, and I have saved you. We don't owe each other, so you don't have to feel bad... I can do these things myself."
Lin Linyou smiled and said: "What is there between friends? I have to find your younger brother for you! Don't worry, after I finish interrogating Li Chun, I will follow my eldest brother to the commanding envoy's house. Come, Drink the ginger soup first to get rid of the wind and cold."
Speaking of his younger brother, Yue Rong immediately became more submissive and took the bowl of ginger soup from Lin Linyou's hand.
"Little sister, you also have a bowl, it's windy on the lake." Lin Linyou handed another bowl of ginger soup to Lin Long. Now Lin Linyou has learned well. He can't forget his sister when he has a woman! Otherwise, my sister will be jealous again later.
After returning to the small courtyard, Lin Long was not so scared anymore, but after seeing such a bloody scene, he was afraid of having nightmares tonight.
"By the way, when I was rowing, I fished six pebbles from the lake with a net. You two will get three pebbles each. When you sleep at night, put them under your pillow so that you won't be frightened." Lin Linyou pulled the pebbles from his arms again. He took out six pebbles the size of bird eggs.
In fact, Lin Long wanted to sleep with Mr. Lin in his arms tonight because he was really scared...
However, she also knew that this was impossible, so she couldn't open her mouth.
Fortunately, I didn't sleep alone. I squeezed into the same bed as Yue Rong. It was better to have someone to keep me company.
Yue Rong believed Lin Long's words even more at this time. Her eldest brother Lin Zongqi was really a considerate and attentive man.
Zhang Bi seemed to be more concerned about Lin Linyou's injury than the girls. After Lin Longyue and the two of them were settled, he asked with concern as soon as he walked out of the room: "Second brother, the injury on your chest..."
"Small injury, nothing to worry about!" Lin Linyou patted his chest.
"It's better not to be careless. Come on, let me take a look." Zhang Bi started to untie Lin Linyou's clothes. "Hurry up and untie Lin Linyou's clothes so that I can be healthy!"
"..." Lin Linyou said, "I think you should stop calling Zhang Bi and call him Zhang Jie!"
"Zhang stutters? I don't stutter." Zhang Bi said, "Wouldn't this ease the tense atmosphere?"
"You're still calm. I almost made you nervous."
"Ouch, I haven't even done it yet."
"I think you'd better go get Li Chun as soon as possible! You're better at torture than I am."
…
A basin of cold water was poured over Li Chun's head.
As a Jin Yiwei, Li Chun was naturally aware of Jin Yiwei's methods, so he honestly confessed what he had taken from Li Rui without waiting for Zhang Bi to be tortured.
"It's the canal engineering drawings and construction supervision minutes."
"River engineering map? What do you want this for?"
Li Chun sneered: "Master Zhang, believe me, knowing this will not do you any good." After a moment of silence, he added: "I am doing this for your own good."
"If you don't tell me now, you will have to tell Commander Ji Du in a while." Zhang Ben said, "Commander Du's methods may not be as gentle as mine. I am doing this for your own good."
"To be honest, I don't know what they want this thing for." Li Chun thought for a while and finally said, "They" naturally refers to the people behind him. "But Mr. Zhang is so smart, he should be able to guess it."
When it comes to the canal, it is naturally related to the emperor's move of the capital!
The canal channel that Li Rui is in charge of belongs to the Huitong River, and the Huitong River is a key section of the North-South Grand Canal.
The river engineering drawings and construction supervision minutes detail the depth of the river, the distribution of diversion hubs, dams and water tanks, etc.
Could it be that they want this information because they want to tamper with the canal?
For such a big matter, forget it, no more guessing, let’s leave it to Ji Gang to handle!
…
Not surprisingly, Jin Chang would soon learn that Li Chun had been captured by Lin Linyou and the others. Naturally, he would think that the secret message fell into the hands of Lin Linyou and the others.
Therefore, if you want to deal with Jin Chang, you need to help Ji Gang. After all, the only one who can come into contact with the eunuch behind Jin Chang is Ji Gang behind him.
Therefore, Li Chun must be handed over to Ji Gang personally.
Lin Linyou and Zhang Bi escorted Li Chunzheng out, and Yuerong trotted out of the room: "Mr. Lin Qi, can I... go with you?"
"No!" Lin Linyou decisively refused, "Can you come back after leaving? Kingo even said it was a congratulatory gift!"
Because Li Chun was here and he was going to meet Ji Gang soon, Lin Linyou now called Ji Gang the respectful "Kingo" again.
Even Li Chun knew that Lin Linyou had "robbed" Yue Rong from Ji Gang's ship. Ji Gang must have known it for a long time. This made Lin Linyou a little uneasy, but thinking about it, Ji Gang had not caused any trouble for him for so long. , and I am no longer so anxious.
However, going to meet a big shot like Ji Gang will still make you feel a little uneasy...even as a time traveler.
Sorry for embarrassing the time traveler.
Maybe, this is the so-called bloodline suppression, right?
Perhaps, this is the so-called servility? Regardless of the workplace or officialdom, if you stay for a long time, you will always become slavish and submissive, and your unruly and bloody spirit will be eradicated...
The moment he met Ji Gang - although he had already met him once, Lin Linyou felt that he was very different from the one in Zhenfusi Yamen. In Zhenfusi Yamen, Ji Gang was the commander of the capital and the largest official in Jinyiwei.
But in his own house, he looked like an ordinary family man, with a warm smile and approachable appearance, making him appear much more easy-going.
The two of them called "King Wu" and paid a grand ceremony to Ji Gang. Zhang Ben then made clear his intention and presented Li Chun, along with the generous gifts.
Ji Gang heard the whole story, and there was no trouble on his face. He summoned the book boy who managed the study and said calmly: "Go and check the bibliography to see if there is a letter missing."
The book boy agreed and went down cautiously. After a cup of tea, the book boy reported back and said that a letter was indeed missing.
Ji Gang said: "I am kidding you two. I am very busy on weekdays. In my study, there are so many letters that have not yet been submitted. There are all kinds of letters, including the secret letter you mentioned."
"This secret letter has been lost. It must have been done by a family thief." Ji Gang then asked the book boy: "Has Li Rui entered my study?"
The book boy trembled and replied: "He...he is your adopted son. I don't dare to stop him."
Lin Lin and Zhang Ben thought that Ji Gang would get angry and punish the book boy, but unexpectedly Ji Gang waved his hand generously: "It's none of your business, go down!"
The book boy hurriedly retreated as if he was about to receive a general amnesty. However, Zhang Bi, who had been in officialdom for a long time and knew Ji Gang's character, knew that this boy was probably going to die soon. It was not because he did not dare to stop Li Rui, but because he did not report the truth to Ji Gang afterwards. Obviously, he was not just afraid of Li Rui. Power? No matter how powerful Li Rui is, isn't his power given by Ji Gang?
It is very possible that the book boy benefited from Li Rui's money. This was a naked betrayal of Ji Gang, just for a few taels of money! How could Ji Gang tolerate him again?
It was just that because Zhang Bian and Lin Linyou were in front of the two of them, it was difficult to have an attack on the spot.
"It's hard to guard against domestic thieves day and night!" Ji Gang sighed, playing with the clay seal presented by Zhang Bi, "This seal looks familiar. If I remember correctly, this letter belongs to Governor Li Zengzhi. "
"May I ask Kingo King, what is written on this seal? Is it Sanskrit?" Lin Linyou asked.
"Absolutely." Ji Gang said, "It's Guyuan Ba Si Ba Wen."
Old origin? Everyone said that Li Zengzhi wanted to rebel, but unexpectedly he actually collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country!
Zhang Ben cupped his fists and said decisively: "Kingo, if you just say a word, the brothers will immediately go and take Li Zengzhi!"
Ji Gang smiled: "This is really not a matter of my words."
