I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

57 Scalpers Like Broken Banks

Although the operation of directly bombarding the black and white tower was a little bit violent, it was really effective.

The black iron and secret treasures that would have taken a lot of effort to get out of the hole were swept out by the current.After recovering the "Phoenix of Nirvana", Jiang Lin handed over the rest of the salvage work to the local officers and soldiers in Langzhou. After a few more instructions with Xie Ling, he made an appointment with Su Tong to drink tea.

Su Tongpan recognized Shen Kuo who was following him at a glance.The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Lin found out that Shen Kuo's father, Shen Zhou, was the county magistrate in Langzhong, and he and Su Huan exchanged famous assassins.

Su Huan had heard of Shen Kuo's cleverness and talent, and wanted to let himself and his younger brother's children learn from him, so he invited Jiang Lin and the others to his house.

Jiang Lin also wanted to take the opportunity to visit the legendary Sansu family, so he ignored Shen Kuo's temper tantrum when he was in the rebellious stage, and happily took him to Su's residence.

Going around the corridor, I saw five or six boys and girls playing in the courtyard, all around ten years old.Jiang Lin was looking for the two future great writers from inside, so Su Huan went into the study to call his younger brother out to meet Jiang Lin.

Before finding out who Su Shi and Su Zhe were from the group of children, Jiang Lin first met their father, Su Xun.

"Ming Yun, this is Shaoqing Jiang Lin, who was sent by the imperial court to investigate the case in Langzhou. Jiang Shaoqing, this is my younger brother, Su Xun." After Su Huan finished his introduction, he noticed that the corner of Su Xun's mouth was wet. There were black traces, and hurriedly whispered, "Ming Yun, did you use ink as a dipping sauce for lunch again... Quickly wipe..."

Su Xun covered his beard when he heard the words, and said "Excuse me".Su Huan explained: "Recently, I asked my brother-in-law to revise my Su family tree. He was fascinated by reading the deeds of the ancestors, and his mind was distracted while eating, which made Jiang Shaoqing laugh."

"Where." Jiang Lin shook his head, "Mr. Su is serious in his work, and it is human nature to yearn for the achievements of his predecessors."

He had heard the story of Su Xun's "recognizing ink as sugar" before, and knew how fascinated these literati were when they read books. He didn't expect to encounter a live version today, and he rolled his eyes for a while.

Su Xun's eyes moved: "Jiang Shaoqing is ridiculous."

His tone was a bit tougher, Su Huan added, "Brother She has long known that Shaoqing is the last Jinshi, and has admired you for a long time."

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that although Su Xun had started to study hard at this moment, he still failed to get the honor in the first imperial examination.He also didn't have any contacts to recommend himself, so he had time to travel and study around, and came to stay at his brother's house for a while.

Jiang Lin didn't want to speculate too much on Su Xun's state of mind at this time, so he could only speak more sincerely: "Jiang has also admired Mr. Su's talent and name for a long time, and has always wanted to meet him."

These words were originally a good step, but as soon as he finished speaking, a little boy who looked about thirteen or fourteen poked his head out from behind Su Xun.

The boy looked at Jiang Lin suspiciously: "Have you read what my father wrote? Which one of his articles do you think is the best?"

With his small appearance, it was clear that he didn't believe that Jiang Lin had really seen Su Xun's works.Jiang Lin asked with a smile: "This young master is...?"

Su Xun quickly pulled the boy out from behind: "This is the second son in the next family, Su Shi."

Su Huan broke the siege and said, "A Shi, go play with A Zhe first, and don't disturb your lord's conversation."

"It's okay." Jiang Lin smiled.Su Shi is worthy of being a Dongpo layman who lives wherever there is delicious food. When he was a child, he was straightforward and natural when he asked questions, and he hit Jiang Lin's vital point.

Most of Su Xun's works are essays and books, and Jiang Lin, a science student, really doesn't have much chance to read them.

But, flattering, who can't do it.

Jiang Lin stretched out his dog's paw and rubbed the head of the future boss, and said with a smile: "I think your father is very talented, and he can write anything. But if you want to talk about the best, then this genealogy that is being compiled now must be It is a world-renowned masterpiece.”

·

In fact, even Jiang Lin didn't know that the genealogy that Su Xun was compiling was not only really famous in the world, but also established his position as one of the eight great masters of Tang and Song Dynasties.But his words really entered into Su Xun's heart.

Who doesn't want to be recognized for what they're doing right now?

What's more, in the eyes of the Su family brothers, Jiang Lin is still a powerful scholar who has won a Jinshi degree, and he will never question his literary accomplishment.

So after a few cups of tea, Jiang Lin established a good relationship with the Su brothers.He even invited Su Xun's family to visit Beijing together - the imperial examination at the end of March is coming soon, and the best scholars in the world will gather in Beijing at this moment.

Su Xun was a little tempted by what he said, but he was still worried about the expenses on the road.After hearing this, Jiang Lin hurriedly booked a ticket, and started to build a relationship with him, expressing that he would treat their family well, and asked him to think carefully.

What Jiang Lin did was not entirely out of his own selfish desire to make more friends with big bosses, but also considering the future development of Sansu.

Although Sansu later became famous in history relying on his talent and hard work, Jiang Lin always felt that there was no harm in letting them get in touch with the best contemporary educational resources and connections in the capital.

So he paved the way for their family, it depends on how Su Xun thinks about it.

Before leaving, Jiang Lin still hadn't forgotten that Su Huan paid a special visit to Xu's residence.

If he hadn't helped him delay Xu Zhizhou's time, the brick factory owner who forged the military salary might have contacted Xu Zhizhou a long time ago, and Jiang Lin and the others would not have caught him so smoothly.

Jiang Lindao thanked: "Before I went to Xu Zhizhou's mansion, thanks to the help of Su Tongpan."

Compared with his younger brother's frankness, Su Huan already possessed shrewdness in the officialdom, and asked politely, "Jiang Shaoqing would like to ask, when did I notice Xu Zhizhou's abnormality?"

Jiang Lin flicked his fan and nodded.

Su Huan said: "Actually, when he persuaded Military Academy He to stay in Langzhou for a few more days, I became suspicious. But since there was no real evidence, I could only use this slightly clumsy method to stare at him. gone."

...It refers to the fact that in order not to arouse Xu Zhizhou's doubts, he brought his younger brother's family to the other party's house.

Thinking of Fan Yushi who was attacked, he knew that this was actually a very dangerous thing.

Jiang Lin wanted to tell Su Huan something, but seeing the other party's brows furrowed tightly, he could tell that he was definitely more concerned about Sansu's safety than himself.

Thinking about it, the Tongpan Mansion should be a very safe place. Xu Zhizhou was under house arrest in the mansion, and his words and deeds were also controlled. He couldn't find any moths, so Jiang Lin didn't say any more.

After he said goodbye to Su Huan, he thought about the arrangements for tonight all the way, and felt that he had forgotten something while walking.

It wasn't until a few dissatisfied "Hello" came from behind that Jiang Lin remembered...that he had left Shen Kuo at Su's house.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw the "good boy" and "good role model" in Su Huan's mouth staring at him with resentment.Before Jiang Lin had time to coax him, Shen Kuo said quietly: "Jiang Shaoqing, you took me around for a day today, what do you want me to do for you?"

Jiang Lin's original purpose was to develop a relationship with Shen Kuo and find an opportunity to inspire the whimsy of this future boss, but he didn't expect that he would have a chat with Sansu and forget about Shen Kuo's side .

Fortunately, he has a thick skin and loves to fool children.Jiang Lin asked back: "Then you followed me for a day today, what have you learned?"

Seeing that Shen Kuo didn't seem to be about to say anything good, Jiang Lin hurriedly said, "For example, no matter how much water is poured into that curved iron pipe, why is the water level on both sides always equal? ​​*Why can we Smell the wormwood in the cave? Why did I fall in the cave and always slide down?"

"This..." Shen Kuo was stopped by his question, "Isn't it always like this?"

"So I'm asking you why." Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Or I'll ask it another way, why is the water in the iron pipe not uneven, why doesn't the cooking smoke float down the mountain, why doesn't the thing go downhill? Falling from the sky...Why does Sinan have floating water and hanging wires, but no one puts them on a thin pillar so that the pointer can rotate flexibly?"

Compared to some traversers, Jiang Lin was never afraid of doing things that would go against history and change the world.His set of questions comes from two famous quotes he happened to read: "Goodmindsaskwhy.Greatmindsaskwhynot."

Shen Kuo is still young, if he can really learn this way of thinking and answer these questions from Jiang Lin, he might be able to replace Newton.

Jiang Lin didn't mind embezzling the fruits of the labor of the descendants to the ancestors at all.

Jiang Lin returned to the post after sending Young Master Shen, who had been thinking about it all the way, back to his residence.

As soon as he entered the gate, Xie Ling hurried forward to report to him: "Shaoqing, the military salary has been recovered, and everything is ready. The official has arranged 300 people to lie in ambush near the poplar forest in the west of the city at midnight tonight, just waiting to meet with you." The people from Xu Zhizhou appeared and took him down in one fell swoop."

After Xu Zhizhou was placed under house arrest, he not only had to find out about the military salary, but also had to dig deep into where he planned to transfer this batch of silver, or to whom.So when he found out that the carrier pigeon had flown to Xu's mansion, Jiang Lin asked Xie Ling to put the forged note in immediately, and asked him to meet in the west of the city tonight.

He was quite satisfied with Xie Ling's arrangement, nodded and said, "What about the black iron and 'Phoenix of Nirvana' we dug back?"

"It has been transferred to the military camp in the north of the city, and Fan Yushi who woke up will be responsible for watching. Fan Yushi seems to be..." Xie Ling touched the center of his brows, "Not very happy."

Jiang Lin smiled.

He could almost imagine Fan Chunren's appearance when he woke up and found that Jiang Lin had settled everything - although there was no disturbance on the surface, he must still be very dissatisfied in his heart.

"Okay. I'll go to the poplar forest with you tonight." Jiang Lin said, "By the way, where's Brother Zhan?"

"Guard Zhan received a secret order and was recalled to Beijing."

"Do you know what it is?" Jiang Lin blinked, Xie Ling shook his head, and suggested: "...Why don't you ask Bai Sizhi to come over and go with us?"

There was a bird passing by outside the window, Jiang Lin shook his head, and said, "Bai Yutang asked me for leave today, saying that he wanted to go home to accompany his brothers. The Five Rats have been busy looking for Xuantie recently. Tonight's matter And don't tell them to go."

He put a flag on himself: "The other party is unprepared. We have 300 people here, so nothing will happen."

·

In the middle of the night, Jiang Lin and the others disguised themselves, led a small group of strong men in black, and carried dozens of boxes into the poplar forest in the west of the city.

There are people hiding in the boxes and outside the woods. With 300 troops, no matter what, they will be able to win the people who will support Xu Zhizhou in the future.

After waiting for a while at the appointed place, a man in black came stepping on the top of a tree and landed in front of Jiang Lin.Seeing the silver mask on the opponent's face, Jiang Lin was startled, and then recognized the identity of the opponent by his figure - the killer of the snow-treading hall that he had fought with in the library before.

Wen Qing told him that the killer was Ye Fengqiu, who had entangled with them before.

If the other party really recognized Jiang Lin as the person who cut his right arm back then, he would definitely not let Jiang Lin go easily.

When Jiang Lin saw the golden thread tied to the leg of the pigeon that flew to Xu's mansion, Jiang Lin suspected that Tuxuetang was involved in this matter.

But meeting this "old acquaintance" in Langzhou, thousands of miles away, did increase the pressure on Jiang Lin who hadn't expected this.

"Is all the money here?" Ye Fengqiu's voice revealed a hoarseness like a cold-blooded animal, and Tan Cuo, who was arranged by Jiang Lin to act as the connector, said harshly: "It's all in the box. Where are you guys who came to carry the boxes?" ?”

"You leave the boxes, and our men will take them away."

"We've done so many businesses, but you still can't remember this rule. Does Xu Zhizhou not care about us, or..." Ye Fengqiu smiled lightly, making goose bumps all over the place. "Your acting skills are too—"

"Do it!" Jiang Lin shouted first.The hidden detectives either jumped out of the box, or outflanked the forest, trying to surround the killer.But there was a rustling sound, and more men in black slipped from the tree, drew out their long knives, and held Jiang Lin and the others in place in an instant.

Rows of steel knives confronted each other, Jiang Lin had a heavy blade on his neck, and his whole body was pressed to the ground. Xie Ling was so frightened that he lay down beside the tree and trembled.

Ye Fengqiu walked in front of them, and casually removed the disguise on Jiang Lin's face: "We meet again, Jiang Shaoqing."

Jiang Lin snorted and said tentatively, "You knew it was me who would come."

Ye Fengqiu nodded and said, "You're pretty smart. You know that you're keeping that Xu guy to lure me out. It's a pity that you took too little precaution. I didn't expect that I came to Langzhou."

Seeing that Jiang Lin was silent, he continued: "Jiang Shaoqing, you are the one who disrupted the situation these few times, you are too good at spoiling my good deeds, aren't you?"

Jiang Lin sifted through the information, staring at the expression on Ye Fengqiu's face, and slowly said: "You are from the Snow Hall, and you have the ability to cooperate with Zhizhou to secretly exchange military pay, but you are still hired by Madam Pei. To help Pei's mansion to kill people and collect corpses?...Knowing that I have set up a trap, but you still want to arrest me, what is the reason?"

Ye Fengqiu sneered: "Jiang Shaoqing Bingxue is smart, didn't he already know that?"

"The previous case was a bright pearl. As for Langzhou," Ye Fengqiu readily admitted, "it was just a small amount of military pay and an excuse, and it wasn't worth my attention. But..."

"What did Jiang Shaoqing dig out from the Black and White Tower this morning, do you have to explain it so clearly?"

Hearing this, Xie Ling's pupils shrank, but Jiang Lin's expression remained unchanged.

He just said: "Oh? Your Excellency wants the black iron we dug out from the bottom of the river... Then you are so capable, why don't you go and grab it—"

Jiang Lin paused.

Seeing his frozen expression, Ye Fengqiu smiled happily: "How do you know that I didn't send anyone to rob that small military camp in the north of your city?"

His laughter pierced people's ears, Jiang Lin frowned, and gritted his teeth, "Who is behind you?"

"Tsk tsk, delaying tactics? I'm not the kind of person who talks too much, Jiang Shaoqing's trick is not very clever." Ye Fengqiu smiled, and nodded the man in black who was holding Jiang Lin, the corners of his lips dropped quickly, "Do it .”

In the next moment, the steel knife on Jiang Lin's neck suddenly flicked and turned, and attacked in the direction of Ye Fengqiu.Ye Fengqiu instinctively retreated, but then someone grabbed his legs from below, pulled and tugged, and fell to his knees.

The situation changed in an instant, before the other men in black could react, Jiang Lin stopped them: "Stop!"

The sharp blade moved to Ye Fengqiu's neck, and the man in black who suddenly "rebelled" tore off his face scarf, it was Bai Yutang!

He complained to Jiang Lin: "You guys have been talking about it for a long time."

Jiang Lin straightened up, looked at Ye Fengqiu with a smile and said, "Blame him talking too much nonsense."
