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

59 He Qing should offer a tribute

The Xuantie and military pay to be brought back to the capital were guarded by a new batch of troops, and the suspects such as Ye Fengqiu and Xu Zhizhou were also escorted by a special team.

Jiang Lin and the others traveled with the army on a passenger ship provided by the government. In order to let Su Xun's family keep up with them, Jiang Lin specially named the other party a relative and brought them on board.

After getting along all the way, Jiang Lin finally understood Su Xun's current state thoroughly.

Anyone who knows Su Xun a little bit knows that when he was young, he was fond of playing and playing. He thought that reading was not difficult. He didn't start to study seriously until he was 25 years old, but he failed in many exams*.

Life is not afraid of not having a goal, it is afraid of having a goal but not being able to achieve it.

In the past few years, the death of his elder brother Su Dan and the early death of his eldest son Su Jingxian both hit Su Xun hard.At this time, he was indeed in a confused stage of life.

Even Su Xun himself said that he didn't know if his hard work was of any use.

Jiang Lin's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, he persuaded Su Xun to come out for a walk before, wouldn't it be because Su Xun wanted to return to the carefree and wandering state of his youth, right?

However, Su Xun changed direction with the next sentence: "Maybe I started late, so I need to go through more training. But going to Beijing this time is different from before. I want A Shi and A Zhe to see those who have achieved fame. What kind of students are they? Let them learn to work hard earlier, and don't spend more than ten years in vain like their fathers."

"It must be fine." Jiang Lin smiled, looked at the two children who were sitting on the deck of the boat shaking their heads and carrying books on their backs, and said, "They have already started to work hard. They will definitely achieve great things in the future."

As soon as he got out of the cabin, Jiang Lin saw Bai Yutang leaning against the door with his arms folded and his eyes closed.

Jiang Lin rolled his eyes and patted him: "Are you upset here?"

Bai Yutang frowned and opened his sharp eyes: "What am I upset about?"

Jiang Lin shrugged and walked to the deck.

Seeing his appearance, Bai Yutang got angry, followed him, and explained, "Fifth Master, I have traveled all over the world to fight for justice. I have practiced my kung fu well, and I haven't lost my books, so I won't be upset. You forget Yes, I just worked a little bit harder, didn't I just pass your dreadfully rare law test?"

"Yeah, so you don't have to feel sorry."

"Shut up..." Bai Yutang was stunned for a moment, and found that Jiang Lin was not as sarcastic as he expected, "Are you kidding me?"

"Why does Bai Sizhi have to think about Jiang so badly?" Jiang Lin paced and waved his fan, "Everyone has different talents, if Si Zhi is good at martial arts and machinery, then learn martial arts and make chariots. Although Song Dynasty likes to emphasize the importance of reading, if everyone reads, who will protect the country and cultivate the fields?"

Bai Yutang was slightly touched by Jiang Lin's words, but he was more deeply influenced by Su Xun, and it was rare for him to analyze his own mental journey with Jiang Lin: "Just hearing Mr. Su's words, I feel that I have really wasted a lot of time in the past. .”

Compared with many families who can't afford to study, Bai Yutang's family is well-off and well-educated.

But compared to the drive to study hard in other people, he definitely didn't work so hard when he was a child.

"Why do you have to compare with others? When others are studying, you didn't study, isn't it because you are training your current good martial arts? Is it true that studying is hard work, so practicing martial arts is not hard? We have been studying all day long these days. Sitting on the boat didn't stop you from practicing martial arts, isn't that considered hard work?"

Jiang Lin folded his arms and said, "Bai Yutang, I really didn't expect that even you would be so foolish. Did you take some wrong medicine today?"

"Get out." Bai Yutang raised his fist at him, but he didn't really hit it down, "You boy, you can fool people with a set of words."

"It's because your thinking is narrow, we have to open up the layout." Jiang Lin made a gesture of opening his hand, and then moved to the side, "Besides, it's not true that you can't read at all?"

Bai Yutang was subconsciously wary, thinking that Jiang Lin must have nothing good to say.

Sure enough, the next second he saw Jiang Lin sticking out his tongue, "Isn't your doggerel pretty good?"

"You!—" Bai Yutang was about to fly up and teach Jiang Lin a lesson.

As a result, Jiang Lin directly pulled Xie Ling who was standing at the bow to block the gun, and changed the subject: "Oh, Judge Xie, what are you looking at here?"

Xie Ling was almost affected by the dispute between the two of them, and dodged left and right and said, "No, I'm just a little worried about the situation at Zhanwei's side, wondering if our boat can go a little faster."

"I will definitely be able to go to Kaifeng tomorrow, but it is only a matter of time."

Xie Ling muttered: "...Obviously I walked so fast when I went to Langzhou, but it was much slower to return to Kaifeng Mansion."

"It depends on the direction of the wind and the current. Besides, the speed of the army is beyond our control." Jiang Lin understood that what Xie Ling said was not entirely about Zhan Zhao, but also about the situation of "Phoenix of Nirvana". .

Jiang Lin had already confirmed with Xie Ling that the Suzaku secret treasure was so powerful that after it was transported back to Kaifeng Mansion, it was impossible for their Xie family to take it all by themselves, and it must be handed over to the imperial court.In order to ensure the smooth transportation of it into Beijing, Jiang Lin specially arranged for Zhan Zhao to go ahead, so as to prevent the secret treasure from being targeted by those who want to.

At this moment, the Xia army in the north started a war against the Song Dynasty again, and her father had already gotten along with the officials. Xie Ling would definitely be worried that if the delivery of the "Phoenix of Nirvana" was not smooth enough, it would affect the situation ahead, or It is Xie's image in the minds of officials.

But Bai Yutang didn't know about the "Phoenix of Nirvana", he only knew that Jiang Lin entrusted Zhan Zhao with an important matter.

Hearing that something might happen to Zhan Zhao, he immediately frowned: "What's the matter?"

Among the three, Jiang Lin, the entrusted person, was the least anxious.

He said to the two, "Don't worry, as long as Zhan Zhao doesn't send me any letters, it means there is no problem."

But it seemed that it was just to slap him in the face. In the next moment, a gray carrier pigeon landed on Jiang Lin's shoulder.

Seeing Xie Ling's eyes widen suddenly, Jiang Lin felt like a crow flew over his head.

He coughed lightly and unfolded the note in the mailbox.

Seeing the word "attacked" clearly written on it, Xie Ling immediately became anxious: "Why—"

"Accelerate with all your strength and rush to Kaifeng Mansion!" Jiang Lin said seriously to the helm, then grabbed Xie Ling aside and winked at him.

"Trust me, it's fine."

"Liar?!"

In the guest room, it was rare for Xie Ling to lose her composure, and Jiang Lin covered her mouth: "Hush!"

At this moment, there were only the two of them in the room. After Xie Ling was released, she still felt puzzled, so she lowered her voice and said, "You mean, the guard Zhan didn't actually transport the 'Phoenix of Nirvana'? Why?"

"Why?" Jiang Lin shook the teacup in his hand, and said, "...Don't you think it is a very simple thing to guess that I want Zhan Zhao to deliver the secret treasure of Suzaku?"

Seeing that Xie Ling was puzzled, Jiang Lin said, "From the point of view of Ye Fengqiu and his group, on the night when the Suzaku secret treasure was taken out, I took you and the five mice to ambush in the grove, and let Fan Yushi guard the northern part of the city." In the barracks, we have mobilized so many troops, but Zhan Zhao is not there."

"Even Fan Yushi doesn't believe that the officials ordered Zhan Zhao to be transferred away urgently, let alone Ye Fengqiu and the others knew that we had found the 'Phoenix of Nirvana'?"

"So they suspect that Zhanwei went one step ahead and helped us transport the secret treasure of Suzaku?"

Jiang Lin nodded and said: "Although we have a lot of things to bring back to Kaifeng Mansion this time, and I even asked someone to prepare a few boxes containing food as a cover, but before leaving, I specially asked Fan Yushi to go The barracks counted those things, and passed on the news that the Suzaku secret treasure is not in our hands..."

"How do you know that this news will be spread?"

"Because the military salary was transferred in the military camp in the north of the city before. Whether Xu Zhizhou colluded with those people in the army needs to be investigated further, but in the absence of clear evidence, this part of the force can easily be hidden. I can't pull it out for the time being." So Jiang Lin chose to use it.

Not only did he use the eyeliner placed by the opponent in the army to convey wrong information, but he also used Fan Chunren himself.

Although he didn't take Fan Chunren's dislike towards him to heart, and he wouldn't argue with the other party too much, but it's fine to order someone around and be a little stingy.

Xie Ling sorted out her thoughts a little bit, and sighed: "So that's the case. But is it really useful to hide it from me? Could it be that after those people snatched the guards from the exhibition, they couldn't find out that the secret treasure in their hands was fake? Back off Wanbu said, you can also let me know in advance... I was really scared just now."

"If they didn't open fire with the Nirvana Phoenix, they might not be able to find out that they snatched a fake one back." Jiang Lin rubbed his head with a smile, "When I was in contact with your father about this matter, I already talked to him about it." He passed his anger. We agreed that we should not tell you about this in advance, lest your acting skills fail, and if Ye Fengqiu and the others are hidden on our boat, you will be exposed all at once."

Xie Ling opened her eyes slightly: "Even my father..."

Immediately he sighed, touched the center of his brows, and said, "You're right, I'm not good at lying. But you go on and on like this, and send more people to send the secret treasure back to the Kaifeng mansion properly." What's the difference? Who transported the real 'Phoenix of Nirvana'? Where is it now?"

Jiang Lin swallowed a mouthful of tea, and knocked the cup on the table lightly.

"Of course there is a difference."

In the northern war zone, Di Qing stood on the city gate, watching Xia Jun erect a colorful cannon in front of the battle line.

Xia Jun's commander looked at the secret weapon they finally snatched from Song Guo, with confidence in his chest.

He stood tall, and the shouts of "wrong" from the soldiers loading the shells were completely drowned out in the sound of horns and drums, and no one noticed.

The red flag fired by the command fell to the ground, and another soldier lit the gunfire.In the next instant, a huge sound exploded in Xia's entire vanguard army, countless pieces of Xia's military uniforms were blown to pieces, and the commanding general also fell from the high platform.

Di Qing frowned slightly, and made an attack gesture to Lu Fang, who was temporarily serving as the lieutenant.

Immediately, the other three mice and a group of soldiers put the golden cannon decorated with phoenix patterns on the city wall.

In the distance, Xia Jun's commander opened his eyes wide.

That is... the real Phoenix of Nirvana!

The horn has just sounded, and the battle has been decided.

When Jiang Lin's boat arrived at Kaifeng, the news of the north's success also spread to Beijing at the same time.

The corner of Jiang Lin's lips curled up.

Everything he planned was for this exciting victory.
