The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

I am very anxious.

As soon as Lin Mo's words came out with meanings outside the words, it was not convenient for him to say anything.

What kind of person Lin Xiaohou is, different people have different opinions.But Shui Rong always thought that he was young and energetic and he was always penny-pinching.Yun Leisheng's move undoubtedly annoyed him.If it were normal times, let alone Dongyun Leisheng alone, he could only wish that the ground in Crane City would be dug up three feet by him.

It's just that the times are different now.

He came to relieve the siege of Mohe.People say that soldiers and horses go ahead without moving food and grass, but this time they sent troops suddenly. The army is in Mohe, but it can't last long.What's more, since the supporting Song Yan had the intention of raiding the enemy's rear, how could he bring much food and grass?People and horses have to eat, as well as weapons and gunpowder, but there is nothing less.

It's not that Lin Mo doesn't want to care, but now, there is no room for him to care.

But Yuchi Chenglong, who had left in a hurry, heard something else just now - when Lin Mo and the others came back, there might not necessarily be such two or three hundred people. What would be the situation in Crane City then?Yun Leisheng is not a fool, doesn't he know who Lin Mo is?What is the plan for such a reckless move?

Just didn't have time to ask.

Yuchi Chenglong was also very anxious, although this time he didn't get involved in Yunleisheng's mess, but on weekdays, he can get a share of things that the prefect Yun collects.This is no joke.Lin Mo's reputation is still more of an "iron abacus", and there is no room for a grain of sand in his eyes.Now he is paying off his merits, and he doesn't know if Lin Mo can let him go.Thinking about it this way, he complained a little bit why Yun Leisheng didn't just attack harder, and Lin Mo was directly killed.

At that time, he will go to solve Yun Leisheng...

It's just a fantasy after all.Lord Lin Hou came all the way, and lost his life when he arrived at Crane City.He pushed everything to Yun Leisheng, and it depends on whether the emperor agrees or not.This would have to change someone else, maybe they turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, but Lin Mo``````, the red man in the eyes of the emperor, is so red that he is almost purple.

Really, it caused a whole body of fishiness for no reason.He complained again, what's the matter with such a little ancestor?Let him pass safely?

It's just that Yuchi Chenglong had no intention of complaining when he arrived at Yunfu.

The huge prefect's mansion was full of blood and blood. When he pushed the door and entered, even a veteran like him couldn't help but take a step back.

Yun Leisheng was hung upside down on the century-old pine tree that entered the main entrance of Yunfu. From head to toe, there was almost no piece of complete flesh. Under his head, there were pieces of bloody flesh. The soldier at the head stepped on it. The soft object was almost tripped, but when I looked down, it was an arm. Through the bloody footprints, I could vaguely see the slender whiteness, as if I could see the beauty of the owner.

"My lord, there are no survivors."

It's just—

"The people who patrol the city? Are they all dead? The Yun family made such a big commotion, and they didn't even hear the fart?" Yuchi became anxious, even swearing.

This is simply telling Lin Mo that Crane City is different.

What's even more creepy is that the non-commissioned officers patrolling the city swear that they didn't hear any abnormalities coming from the Yun residence, and even a watchman testified for them, proving that during the second watch, there was even the sound of opera and music coming from the Yun residence.

"It's really strange. I'm still at Yun's house in the afternoon. They have a play, why don't you let me see it?" Shui Rong sneered, "What time is it now, do you still want to listen to the play?"

Someone must be lying anyway.However, Lin Mo just sighed: "The servants of their family are really innocent." In this way, it is not clear whether the person who did the attack in the afternoon was sent by Yun Leisheng.But in any case, assassinating an official ordered by the court is a crime of punishing the nine clans.Even his family's female relatives and children may not have escaped punishment, but the servants are innocent after all.

"The matter here is very strange." Lin Mo smiled, "General Lao Yuchi will start the investigation, and the Beijing Palace has its own way to notify Jingli. His Majesty will take action soon to deal with this matter. At that time, there will be other Saying. Before the envoy arrives, General Lao Yuchi will watch over Crane City and see if there is any trouble. Especially now that the season is different from the past, it is better not to let people hear some rumors. The defense of Crane City was originally General Yuchi's matter is now done, and the emperor has his own explanation."

His words hinted that Yuchi Chenglong was going to take his credit for the crime, and Yuchi had no choice but to agree bitterly, but he didn't know what to do.It's just that Lin Mo's other words reminded him - the battle situation is urgent now, and the location of Crane City is so special, so don't dare to spread rumors and panic.

Controlling the city's tongue, he still has a way out.

The two of them didn't delay their trip at all because of the tragedy of Yun's family. When they went to Mohe, Shui Rong said: "You really know how to deceive people. Where can I tell the emperor?"

Lin Mo closed his eyes and rested his mind. After tossing all night, he finally realized how suffocating it was when the tension hit last night.The body is much more honest than the brain. Seeing that Shui Rong was still in the mood to joke, he also laughed, pulled King Jing over, and buried his head between his neck: "I'm so sleepy. Maybe I'm talking nonsense."

The Beijing Prince's Mansion really has some ideas, but Shui Rong is very reluctant to use it at this moment - once used, this channel will be completely abolished.Unless it is a last resort, he is not so generous.But maybe Lin Mo just guessed it, or maybe it was just to beat Yuchi up.It's just that Shui Rong felt that Lin Mo was hinting at himself. He was suspicious for a while, but later he figured it out. He wanted to tell Lin Mo the truth, so as not to quarrel in the end, and he had to hold his breath alone.

Just about to say, when he tilted his head, Lin Mo had already fallen asleep.

This person has always been like this, it seems like God favors him at crucial times, even his fists and feet seem to be organized, he is even better than Lian Jiazi - even if he kills a tiger, it is enough to be praised, but like this The outburst seemed to overdraw all his strength, and when he persisted until everything was over, he was so relaxed that his air was taken away.

The last time Shui Rong let the emperor know the capabilities of their Beijing palace was during the autumn hunt, he used his own fireworks to let people know that someone from their palace followed him to the paddock.I don't know if the emperor was really worried about his youngest son and ignored this point, and the subordinates also tacitly skipped it, or the emperor just knew about it and pretended not to know.But after that time, Shui Rong suddenly felt that it was no big deal.

"Do you want the inheritance of the palace, or your own life?" He remembered what his mother and concubine asked him crying.

The meaning of the concubine mother is very clear. She is the hostess of the Beijing Palace, but she is a mother.Women have always had complicated attitudes towards their husband's family and their mother's family, but they are reluctant to part with their sons, whether they are strict, doting, or other.What's more, after all these years of being dependent on each other, telling her to give up her son would be to cut the flesh again.Therefore, she hardly gave Shui Rong a chance to choose: "Mom, please, don't make Mom feel too sad."

Women, it is possible to live a strong life after being poor at home, but few of them can bear the pain of losing their children.

Shui Rong is a dutiful son, he even thought that since Lin Mo got his hands anyway, even if he looked at Lin Mo's face, the emperor would not touch him.And the Beijing Palace is no longer the only one who can protect him, and it is even very possible that it is the reason why the emperor fears and loathes him.He is a self-aware person, and there will be no good results in a struggle with the imperial power, and he doesn't have the guts to touch an egg against a rock.If you really let go, you can live longer... Such thoughts are not unheard of.

But even he felt that this was simply using Lin Mo.

Their footsteps are not slow, but they are definitely not fast.Due to the weather, in the evening, they met Shi Kai, the third steward of the Beijing Palace, and Yuan Dali, the shopkeeper of Guangtong Bank in Shencheng.Pulling away the tattered cotton wool, first move out a pile of useless pots and pans, wipe off the black mud on them, it is impressively silvery.Lin Mo coughed. He slept all afternoon. Now that he just woke up, he felt that he was going to freeze from the cold: "Take an inventory."

Yuan Dali wanted to show his loyalty: "Master Hou, don't worry, it's definitely worth a penny." Shi Kai silently took out the innermost scale.Yuan Dali shut his mouth wisely.

After checking, Lin Mo broke into a smile and said, "The hard-working Shopkeeper Yuan has suffered with us this trip. It will be dangerous to go any further. You should go back to Shencheng first, and the people from the household department will go to Shopkeeper Yuan later. I will never let your hard work be in vain."

"It should be, it should be, it's nothing more than a little effort." Yuan Dali said hurriedly, "Master Hou's words are too polite. Don't say it's such an errand job, Lin Hou is for the country and the people, and the little ones do their best. Take it easy."

Lin Mo knew that he was just being polite.The status of Guangtong Bank has always been inferior to the others, and now most of the ticket numbers are based on Datong and others.However, the shopkeeper of Guangtong seems to be a smart and fun person.Yuan Dali has established roots in Shencheng, and he is quite familiar with this place, and even has some friendship with the bandits who occupy the mountain as king.After this trip, it was Lin Mo's big fanfare that attracted most of the firepower, and the two of them pretended to be speculators to drive away, which was cheaper than them.

"We will arrive at Mohe tomorrow." Lin Mo sighed and asked everyone, "Are you going to travel overnight tonight, or take a rest?"

In fact, as a team leader, the most taboo thing is to ask your subordinates everywhere.It's just that he rested in Shui Rong's arms for a day, while the other soldiers had fought bloody battles with fear and fear yesterday, and now they have driven for another day and are exhausted.

But a small official said: "Master Hou, we have silver taels with us, we dare not rest in this wilderness, we might as well join forces with the army, and feel more at ease."

This is easy to say, but in Mohe, the battle is tense, where will there be a chance to rest?

For a while, everyone agreed, some complained, and there was a quarrel.

"Why are you arguing?" Shui Rong shouted, "It's better to work harder, and it will be ten taels of silver per person!" He threw out a banknote.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they all fell silent, and the team began to move forward again at a leisurely pace.

Ten taels of silver, for these ordinary soldiers, is the ration of the whole family for two years.
