[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

Seven days later.The first batch of muskets were officially released. Unlike Western flintlock muskets, they were of the rotary type.If the West has not improved over the years, then this is the first batch of revolvers in the world.

Another three days.The peace agreement between the cabinet and the Beirong was basically agreed that the Beirong would withdraw its troops for [-] miles, ceded the two border counties, and paid tribute every year, and Princess Dana stayed in Beijing to marry her relatives.As for who to marry, it all depends on Situ Kun, and Bei Rong has no objection.Dazhou promised a truce, not to disturb each other, and set up a commercial market on the national border to communicate what is needed.

No matter what the Beirong people think about this condition, they are happy on the surface.On Da Zhou's side, from the royal family to the courtiers to the common people, they all felt proud and elated, Yixue's resentment towards Bei Rong for many years.

To show his goodwill, Situ Kun invited Prince Mengto and his envoys to spend more time in Kyoto to appreciate the mountains, rivers, rivers, customs and customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty.Monto agreed and stayed a few more days.The return schedule originally planned for the end of June was postponed to the fifth day of July.

Situ Kun was overjoyed. In order to show the good relations between the two countries in the future, knowing that the Bei Rong was good at riding and shooting, he specially ordered various departments to organize hunting trips.Accompanied by hundreds of officials, anyone who is interested can participate, exchange feelings with Beirong, and learn from each other.

Of course, it wasn't the grandiose trip to Beijun Qiushou two years ago. The real purpose of that autumn hunt was actually for military exercises.But this time without the military exercise, the location can be directly located in Shanglin Garden.

But only a few people like Lin Yan understood that Situ Kun wanted to use himself as a bait to lure the snake out of the hole.

Lin House.

Ever since the study caught fire, Lin Yan used the excuse of "the important place in the study" to let Bai Zhi stay behind at all times and not leave without authorization, no matter where he is or not.

This is a good way to restrict the range of activities of Angelica dahurica.Bai Zhi never became suspicious either. After all, compared to other things, her first mission when she came to Lin Yan was to ensure the safety of those designs and not to be stolen by others.

after dinner.On the pretext of looking at Daiyu's newly embroidered sachet, Lin Yan pestered Lin Ruhai and Jia Min to Daiyu's boudoir. Brother Ling was still young, so he let the nanny take him to play in the yard.

As soon as you enter the door, the screen retreats left and right.Lin Ruhai asked, "What's the matter, tell me!"

As expected of his own father, he could tell at a glance that looking at the sachet was purely an excuse.Jia Min and Dai Yu were puzzled.Lin Yan had already bent down, lay down on the ground, and patted the bottom of Daiyu's bed lightly, the bed seat was pushed out, and the floor below was retracted to both sides, revealing a secret room.

Lin Yan took out a torch and went down the steps step by step, and lit the oil lamp on the wall. After Lin Ruhai and the other three followed, they all went down the steps. Lin Yan pressed another brick on the wall, and closed the floor above his head. , the gums return.There were only flickering lights in the room.

Both Jia Min and Daiyu were astonished, Lin Ruhai sighed: "You had to renovate the mansion back then, install heating pipes, do a lot of construction work, and even deliberately changed Yu'er's house into a mess, for this reason?"

Lin Yan didn't like this messy sentence, he rolled his eyes, quite displeased.Although the European-style princess style made the whole family complain N times, it is also a regional culture.Differences in personal preferences and aesthetics, why is it a mess?

What's more, didn't they switch back later?Fortunately, he had already prepared for it. The bed seat was fixed and specially made by him.No matter how the interior style changes, it will not affect his layout.What an ingenious idea!In the end, Lin Ruhai made a mess of things.

Lin Yan was sullen, ignored him, and walked a few more steps until he found another oil lamp in the room. After groping behind the lamp holder for a while, he pressed the button, and a huge boulder flew out.

The huge boulder is as tall as a person, but because the entire secret room except the entrance, the other three sides are made of boulders and clay, which is not conspicuous, so people can't see the gaps and flaws, thinking that it is the case.In this way, even if someone discovers the secret room, it is difficult to find the secret passage.

This time even Lin Ruhai was shocked. He looked at the deep cave and asked, "Where does it lead?"

"There is a forest outside the city. I built a wooden house there. It's not big, but it's strong and not eye-catching. The wooden house extends in all directions. The front is not far from the official road, and the back is a trail and a waterway. The food and carriages in the house are all ready. I Individuals are also housed and available if necessary."

The ingredients are to be able to stay for a long time, not afraid of running out of ammunition and food.Horses are for the convenience of escape.Well planned.

Lin Ruhai's eyes moved slightly. It took two months to build a secret room, but it was impossible to open a secret passage.But Lin Yan didn't have to complete the secret passage within two months.He only needs to design the huge stone door mechanism leading to the secret passage.The mansion is now complete.The secret channel can come from the other side of the wooden house.

Lin Yan pulled Jia Min and Daiyu forward and said, "Did my mother and sister see clearly the position where I triggered the organ just now?"

Daiyu nodded in confusion.Jia Min frowned, "What do you mean?"

"In a few days, His Majesty will invite all the officials and the Beirong to shoot and hunt. There may be turmoil at that time. If... if there is an emergency, the mother can bring the younger sister and younger brother in together and hide here."

Jia Min's complexion changed drastically, "Didn't you say that the plan is thorough? The emperor will never gamble with his life."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly supported her, glared at Lin Yan, and hurriedly signaled to him.Lin Yan said again: "It is indeed thorough enough, and we have considered everything that should be considered. Don't worry, mother.

A mother knows her son.My son always thinks about leaving another backup plan and an extra way out when doing things.The son was just being defensive.And it's been a while since the secret passage was repaired, if it wasn't for my father who was too busy studying and forgot, I should have told you a long time ago. "

Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yan said with a smile: "Brother Ling is still too young. I was afraid that if I let him know, he would slip up if he was not careful, so I asked the nanny to take him to play. Mother, don't tell him, lest he be taken as a joke. A good place for the blind."

Jia Min gave him an angry look, knowing that he was trying to comfort her like this on purpose.Daiyu raised her head, "Then why didn't elder brother hide it from me?"

"Our Qing'er has an exquisite heart, brother don't worry!"

Daiyu chuckled, and then asked, "Why didn't my brother set this place up in my father's study, or in my mother's yard, why is it under my bed?"

But seeing Jia Min's eyes also looked over.Lin Ruhai chuckled, "You don't know how narrow-minded he is. My study is an important place. If something happens, it's hard to guarantee that I won't be investigated. You are the head of the house, so others will naturally value you. But Yu'er is just a girl. Who would have thought that there was such a secret hidden under the gums of her boudoir?"

Lin Yan blinked.This is really not what he thought of, but what Jin Yong thought of.In Yitian Tulongji, isn't the secret path of Guangmingding just under Yang Xiao's daughter's gums?

"Let's go!" Lin Ruhai took Jia Min back and walked back, "Yan'er's plan is excellent. Even if we don't need it, we can pass it on from generation to generation for future generations to use."

Jamin nodded.The four of them went out together, and Lin Ruhai said a lot of sweet words to coax Jia Min and Daiyu into peace, and then called Lin Yan to the study.

"Do you think there will be a surprise?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "My son doesn't know. I just feel that no matter how well-planned, nothing is foolproof in this world. We have to be careful. Besides, the emperor may not have any major problems, but it doesn't mean that the Lin family doesn't."

Lin Ruhai looked up at him.

Lin Yan said again: "Although I have no contact with Ye He in the Imperial College, but based on the fighting these days, he is not a person who does not leave behind. And what I have, Bei Rong wants to get it, how do you know him?" No? The person who invaded the Lin Mansion last time, whether it was him, Bei Rong, or others, if they dare to come here once, there is no guarantee that they will not come again."

"The important place in the capital, the Lin family's mansion was bestowed by the grandparents. It is located in the circle of nobles. It enters the palace gate of the imperial city. It is closely guarded and guarded at home. It is difficult for thieves to attack. But once the capital is in turmoil, it is an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Lin Ruhai's fingertips trembled. Lin Yan was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble and use Jia Min Daiyu or Lin Yan as a threat to force him and Lin Yan to submit.

Lin Ruhai's heart sank little by little.Seeing this, Lin Yan hurriedly said: "Father, I was just guessing. You know, I always like to think too much, not necessarily..."

Lin Ruhai raised his hand to interrupt him, "I can tell if I'm thinking too much."

He sighed, "Go down!"

Lin Yan opened his mouth, "Yes!"

********

The eve of hunting.

Ye Fu.

As night fell, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, rustling the trees in the courtyard.Ye He stood under the tree, raised his head and let the trembling leaves brush his cheeks, completely motionless.

The old housekeeper came over with the light on, "Master, go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow."

If Ruo Danna is here, she can recognize that this old housekeeper is the old man who met her in the restaurant that day,

Ye He slowly opened his eyes, tomorrow, tomorrow, success or failure will depend on tomorrow.

"Uncle Wei, I know that you are an old man who follows my father. You know that my father was defeated because he was eager to force the palace, so you have been persuading me to find another way. You have good intentions. I understand."

Steward Wei sighed, seeing what he said, he also changed his address, "Since the little master understands, why bother to insist, it's too late to stop now."

"It's too late." Ye He shook his head, "How could Uncle Wei think that this kind of thing is still too late? As early as you found me, as long as I promised you, it was already too late!"

Butler Wei lowered his head instantly.Ye He originally had his own life, but was dragged down by them.But who cut off the blood of the master, leaving only him?They must fulfill the master's last wish!

Ye He turned around and looked at him, "Uncle Wei thinks that father forced the palace because he was impatient?"

Butler Wei was taken aback.

Ye He said: "No! It was forced by the situation and I had to do it. At that time, the emperor's favor was lost, but now the situation has become. Uncle Wei thinks that through the ages, will there be any good end for the abolition of the crown prince? So the only way for my father. If If you do it, you will be able to sit on the world, if you don't do it, you will only have a dead end."

Steward Wei was shocked, his mouth was open and he didn't know what to say.

Ye He continued, "Uncle Wei, I am the same now. Don't Uncle Wei think that these days, there are two more stalls outside the house, and the business is better?"

"Little master means..."

"This shows that I was worrying too much before. The emperor already knew about it. There is a girl in Zhaoyang, maybe there is still a way to survive. But I am a male heir, and I am the only remaining blood of my father, and I have long been entangled with you , how could he tolerate it?

He wouldn't be unaware that sending more men to my house would make me aware.He did it on purpose, what he wanted was to scare the snake away!And I know this, but I can't move! "

Sweat dripped from Steward Wei's forehead. "Little master..."

"Uncle Wei doesn't think it's okay if I don't move, does he? People's patience is limited. If I keep moving, he won't be able to wait, so he will attack directly. Therefore, I can only plan opportunities before he makes a move. Act. I am like my father, and this is the only way out for me."

As for running?He has been monitored, how can he escape?Besides, the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in Situ Kun's hands, so even if he ran away, he would have to keep his name incognito, and he would never be able to stand out in the world.Because as long as you show your sharpness, someone will check it out.That means he can only live an ordinary, even impoverished, bullied life.Depressed for life.

No!He is not willing, how can he be willing!He has lived that kind of life for so many years, and he never wants to go back!

Ye He clenched his fists and took a deep breath, "Uncle Wei, you said that something was wrong with the maid beside your mother a few days ago?"

"Yes! Fortunately, Madam lives in secluded places, so she can only follow Madam's side and can't get any news. Madam won't say anything."

Ye He was noncommittal, and directly ordered, "Have someone prepare the coffin and arrest her."

Butler Wei took the order.After a while, Chunyan was caught between two strong men, and a cloth was stuffed in her mouth.She struggled desperately, as if she wanted to say something.Ye He was unmoved.

"There's no need to complain, or to refute. If you are not a spy, I won't mind killing someone by mistake. If you are a spy, I won't ask who sent you. Because these are not important anymore."

As soon as these words came out, the light in Chunyan's eyes dimmed a little bit, which meant that she had only one death.

The coffin was lifted up.Ye He nodded, and the strong man picked up Chunyan and threw it over. When the coffin lid was closed, Ye He stopped him with one hand and threw a bundle behind him into it. Then he let go and said, "Cover it. It's crucified." .It was transported to a deep mountain and buried. The farther the better."

"Yes!"

The strong man leaves.The suspicion in Wei Steward's heart spread layer by layer. If he wanted to kill her, why would he need to prepare a coffin? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just wrap it in a sheet?

But it's not right to save her, not to mention that it is absolutely impossible for Ye He to save her, this situation is not like saving her.It was crucified and buried in deep mountains and old forests, the farther the better.Isn't it obvious that he is dead, and the bones may not be found for hundreds of years?

Ye He didn't intend to explain, looking in the direction of the imperial city, the corners of his mouth curled up.

The author has something to say: I'm used to every time I read a comment, it's always a spoiler for my later text, so, I think some of you should have guessed Ye He's thoughts. o(╯□╰)o
