"So what if you know about the thief ship and the den of thieves? Looking at the entire capital, unless the imperial army is mobilized, no one can try to steal anything from the Jia family, not to mention there are more than a thousand living people."
"Alas..." Song Che sighed again, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight." Lin Yue was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "I have a plan... but it can't be said to be a plan. It can be counted as half... Sigh, it won't work, so I won't tell you." The speed of this change of face was faster than that of Sichuan Opera.
Song Che hopes that someone can tell him
The words "I have a plan" at least wouldn't make his head feel like he was fighting alone.
"It's better to have an idea than to have no clue. You tell me and I'll listen. Maybe if we both think about half of it, the plan will be complete." Song Che said.
Lin Yue then said: "Didn't the man who asked me earlier say that the place where they imprisoned the women was actually a culvert hidden under the warehouse? You are not a native of Luoyang. You may not know that the culverts under Luoyang extend in all directions, connecting There are several runoff rivers, which are usually used to drain the accumulated water in the city during rainy seasons. Although I don’t know where the culvert at Dongcheng Wharf is connected, but since it can be converted into a dungeon, it means that it usually has little water flow." Speaking of this, she said He looked helplessly at Song Che: "I only have so many ideas. I wonder if I can give you some inspiration?" Inspiration!
A big inspiration! Song Che's eyes were as bright as an owl! Isn't it the culvert under Luoyang City?
"Sewer"? Ancient people mostly used dry toilets, and there was no such thing as sewage. Sewers should only be built to drain rainwater.
The drainage channels slowly flow downward and eventually merge into the rivers. Luoyang is located in the Central Plains, with a moat outside and a Tongji Canal inside. Therefore, there must be more than one drainage outlet.
Underdrains extend in all directions. If you can find the structural diagram, you might be able to find a passage. Then you can sneak in from other drainage outlets and detour under the warehouse in the east of the city. It will be quite promising to save people.
"If Heroine Lin can find the map of the culverts in Luoyang City, and if those female relatives are rescued, you will be credited with the first credit."
"This..." Lin Yue was thoughtful, with a slightly sentimental look on her face. After struggling for a moment, she nodded solemnly: "Okay, as long as I can save people, I will find a way to help you." Song Che looked at his words and saw Her expression was abnormal, and she couldn't help but ask: "Although the culvert structure is not a city defense plan, it is also a secret. Can the princess do it?" Lin Yue shook her head,
"The royal buildings in Luoyang are all under the responsibility of the Ministry of Works. It happens that I have some friendship with the officials of the Ministry of Works. Maybe I can give it a try."
"How to try?" Song Che asked again.
"Try it my way." Lin Yue seemed reluctant to talk more about this topic.
"It's late at night now. I should go to bed. Anyway, just wait for my news." She turned to leave, but Song Che grabbed her wrist and said in a deep voice: "If you want to sacrifice something, go In exchange for something, wouldn't you have redeemed yourself in vain?" Lin Yue did not look back, but simply said: "In the past, I had no choice but to obey, but now I do it voluntarily. The two cannot be generalized."
"But the essence is that I still sacrificed you." Song Che pulled her back, using a little too much force, and accidentally bumped into his arms.
Lin Yue held her chest, turned her head, her eyes flickered, her eyelashes trembled, and she looked pitiful. Song Che secretly sighed, let it be his fault, hugged her tighter, and said seriously: "The friendship between you and those officials was not cultivated in the Red Mansion, it was all a fake love affair... Wine and meat, wine and meat, naturally you need wine and meat to impress. Lady Lin, no matter how bad or generous I, Song Che, am, I am not the kind of coward who is willing to give up my friends to others." Lin Yue straightened her posture and looked directly at Song Che. , the bright stars in the sky are not as good as him at this moment.
It turns out that it already has a place in his heart.
"Idiot." She cursed softly, pushed Song Che away gently, cut off the ambiguity, turned her back and secretly rejoiced, but said: "What are you thinking about? What about wine and meat? It's so exciting I don't understand." Song Che was a little confused.
"Then how can you, a female knight, have anything to do with a senior official of the Ministry of Industry?" Lin Yue snorted: "Nangong Yue, Cao Lin, my father was an official when he was alive, and he was a rich young lady, so I, Lin Yue, can't Really?" She sighed softly again: "It's really sad to say it. How can ordinary people be official prostitutes? It's just the elders of the family who committed serious crimes and the family members were affected; my father was fifteen years old. The former was Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Industry. He cut corners while repairing the Grand Canal, and the embankment failed to withstand the impact of the flood, causing flooding in most of Huainan. Emperor Longyan was so angry that he beheaded my father, and I was sent to prison at the age of seven. Entered the Jiaofang Department; to this day, it is difficult for me to understand how an honest and friendly person like my father could do such things as cutting corners?" She shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Maybe his honesty is fake, maybe he has been used as a scapegoat. It has been fifteen years, so what if he is rehabilitated?" She turned to look at Song Che, and the haze and sadness were swept away. He showed a bright smile: "But fortunately, my father has a few old friends. Among them, the eldest official is Liu Xianzhi, the Minister of Household Affairs. If my father had not shouldered this serious crime at that time, he would not be able to achieve what he is today. I think With this life-saving grace, it is not difficult to exchange for a structural map." After hearing this explanation, Song Che felt relieved a lot, but she was still too naive. For a daughter of a guilty minister, it would be far away just based on their past friendship. If you can't change the map, you will be suspected because of your abruptness.
Song Che pursed his lips and thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and a clever idea came into his mind: "In this way, tomorrow I will write a greeting note in the name of Hongxing Society, and pack another thousand taels of silver. You take them to visit Liu Shilang , he said that Cuju City is located in a low-lying area, and the weather is changeable. If there is a heavy rain, he is afraid of being flooded, so he wants to dig a drainage channel at his own expense, but he is not familiar with geography. He asked him to bring a map of the structure of the culvert and we can study it ourselves. How to connect the culvert; remember, after he agrees to write the approval document, you first give 500 taels; when you ask him for the plan, give another 500 taels; if he doesn't give it, you will use the old kindness; if he still doesn't give it , you tell him that the Royal Cuju Team has joined Luochao. In the future, His Majesty the Emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty may come to watch the game in person. If the lack of water conservancy disturbs the nature of the emperor's ministers, the project will be huge." Lin Yue. He kept nodding in response, long and
He said "Oh" and said with a smile: "This is called 'the fox pretends to be the tiger's power', 'using chicken feathers as a command arrow'!"
"But remember, don't reveal your intentions too much. You don't necessarily have to take the initiative when asking for help. You should focus on the client. Let him feel that we are thinking about him, so that he can eliminate his own troubles and do things for us. This kind of business It’s the safest.”
