Chapter two hundred and ninety third entering the city
Outside Yulin City.
Aside from a pond in the valley where ordinary people were standing, Lin Ning, Tian Wuniang, Huang Honger and Yan Zhong stood aside.
At this moment, there was thin ice on the pond, which was ordinary.
Tian Wuniang sighed and said, "The earth-moving flag is indeed amazing."
Yan Zhong bowed slightly and said, "It's just some tricks of being a bystander."
Lin Ning laughed and said, "In my opinion, this technique of left-mindedness is more useful than three masters."
When Yan Zhong heard this, his dark face showed a smile and said, "I'm afraid that only the young masters in the world will think so."
After saying that, Yan Zhong stepped forward, took out a dagger from his pocket, and carefully drew a circle on the ice surface. Afterwards, he used internal force to remove the ice surface, and then found an iron lock from the water. He pulled it hard. With a "slam", the square stone slabs were pulled up one by one, revealing a black black hole below. He said to Lin Ning: "Young Master, enter from now on, turn left on the road in Fengcha Road. Remember, turn left on Fengcha Road, and finally you can reach a wooden door. The wooden door is actually a dead wooden stake by the pond in the back garden of Yihongyuan. After the young master opens it, you can enter Yihong Building. There is a secret square under the wooden bed of the third ear room on the left of the first floor of Yihong Building. After opening it, there are three secret passages leading to the prefect's mansion, granary and arsenal. As for where to go, I think the young master is already clear."
Lin Ning nodded and said, "I have memorized the map well and I am familiar with the interface code."
Yan Zhong said, "The young master entered the city this time just to find out the exact location of Tai Chong Lao Gui and the granary. We are not sure whether the Qin army really used the granary and arsenal left before. Once it is confirmed, the young master will return immediately. Therefore, just in case, it is best for the young master not to contact anyone."
With such meticulous thinking, not only Lin Ning nodded and said yes, but Tian Wuniang also glanced at this person more.
Huang Hong'er seemed to feel that his mother's family had struggled, and said with a smug smile: "Boss Yan is the best at guarding. When I walked in the world, I had to rely on Yan'er's guidance to make no major happen."
Lin Ning nodded with a smile, then stopped talking, looked at Tian Wuniang for a while, then turned around and fell into the dark secret passage.
...
"Convex!"
In the study room of the prefect's mansion, a middle-aged official in his early thirties, wearing a Qianshishi official uniform in Qin State, took a sip of tea and vomited hard.
It was really disappointing to come to this ghost place.
He was originally the eldest grandson of Li Wei, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. He was the doctor of the six most noble rituals. He had a respectable status and a bright future.
Who would have thought that his grandfather was sent to this bitter and cold place where birds did not lay eggs, and it was called gilding.
Plated his grandma's gold!
If you are born in a mud-legged manner, you can stabilize people's livelihood in the Qin Dynasty and pasture the emperor's borders. Of course, you can get such an opportunity by burning high incense from your ancestors.
But what is his identity?
The head of the twelve upper and higher sects of the Great Qin Dynasty, the eldest grandson of the Li family!
Not to mention that his grandfather was the prime minister of Qin who was kind to all officials in the court, even on the Dongwang Mountain, his great-uncle was also one of the absolute giants.
Such an identity still needs to be gilded?
It must be his grandfather who is confused!
But Li Sui only dared to complain about these words, but did not dare to say them to outsiders, even if they were confidants.
There are countless children in the era like the Li family, and the internal struggle is tragic. How dare people catch the tail?
Thinking of this, Li sighed, stood up and walked towards the back house with steady steps.
The reason why he is so difficult is not only because this place is a broken place where rabbits do not poop. It would be fine if Yulin City was really dominated by him alone, but no matter how bitter and cold it is, there is a way to enjoy it.
But he couldn't even be the second-in-command here. The great-grand uncle, who was in power in Dongwangshan, personally called him up the mountain and repeatedly told him to respect the most noble guest of the Li family and the old man with all his eyebrows and hair lost in the Houzhai.
Li Sui only glanced at this old man and was so scared that he couldn't close his eyes for three consecutive days.
But the more this happens, the more he, who came from an official family, understood how to treat this old man.
"Grandpa Taizu, Xiao Sui is here to greet you!"
In an absolutely humble posture, Li Sui bowed and stood outside a quiet small main room in the back house, greeting respectfully.
After a long time, a word came from inside: "What's the matter?"
The sound is like the sound of a rusty dagger scraping porcelain, making people's heart tremble.
Li Sui turned pale and said, "There is something Xiao Sui thought he had to tell Grandpa Tai Zu..."
"Don't disturb the common affairs."
Li Sui hurriedly said, "Grandpa Taizu, it's not that Xiao Sui doesn't know the importance of it, and he bothered you with complicated and trivial matters. But my great-uncle told Xiao Sui that I will report to you any matters about Qingyun Village, and you can see..."
"explain."
This old ghost is really good at showing off, but it may also be too old, afraid that it will take too much effort to say something, so he only jumps a few words at a time.
After whispering in his heart, Li Sui said in a deep voice: "Xiao Sui has counted the property of Fanyulin City for several days, but found it very bad. Not to mention that the 200,000 acres of land outside the city have become private fields of Qingyun Village, and even the 40,000 people outside the city have become slaves of Qingyun Village. In addition to the prefect's office and the various yamen gates, more than 80% of them are from Qingyun Village. The grain and salt we requisitioned before all came from Qingyun Village. Qi State had previously implemented a plan to clear the walls and clear the fields, and wanted to trap Qingyun Village to death, so the grain and rice in these cities in the northwest were already empty. Now that we requisitioned grain, the people have no food, Xiao Sui was worried..."
"What are you worried about?"
A harsh sound came from inside the house.
Li Sui hurriedly said, "With grandfather here, Xiao Sui is naturally not worried about the thieves in Qingyun Village. But we have confiscated all the food, and the people in and outside the city will be afraid that they will starve to death!"
After a little silence in the room, he said, "Those people are not Qin people. Since they have become slaves of Qingyun Village, they are all slaves of sin."
What I mean is that those tens of thousands of people are not worth jealous of death.
Li Sui felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. Of course, he was not concerned about the life and death of the bullshit people, but Qin's law was really strict. Merit was merit and demerits were demerits. The performance assessment of people's performance was the key to governing people's livelihood. If he lets these tens of thousands of people die, no matter how utterly it is, it would be a stain on looking back.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Li Sui.
As if he noticed his embarrassment, the people in the room might have considered the power behind him, and then the sound of the broken gong sounded: "Are you not aware of the Qing Dynasty?"
Li Sui hurriedly replied: "I know, but I only know a little bit. Behind Qingyun Village is a martial saint, the old sword in Tianjian Mountain, which has a blood feud with the Qin Dynasty. Qingyun Village acts violently and hates the aristocratic family, and it will be finished sooner or later..."
After a moment of silence inside the house, his voice became much deeper and he said, "If this is the case, why should I take action? Go down and learn about the style of Qingyun Village, and you will know what to do. Li Jin is my husband's nephew. He asked me to do this and let you do it yourself."
Li Sui's heart was thrilled when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa, Xiao Sui will do his job well and will never let down his love for Grandpa and great-uncle."
After saying that, he asked carefully: "Grandpa Grandpa hasn't had any water and rice in three days. I wonder when he wants to have a meal?"
After a while, an impatient voice came from the room: "I'll send three sheep, two stones of rice every five days, and three tanks of clear springs."
Provoke, this old ghost actually has such a big appetite?
Li Sui's heart was shocked, but he said more respectfully: "Yes!"
...
At midnight, a piece of usually visible dead wooden stake next to the pond in the back garden of Yihongyuan, Xicheng, two miles away from the prefect of Yulin City, suddenly moved slightly, and then the entire wooden stake was lifted from bottom to top. A man in black dressed in night clothes quietly came out, putting the dead wooden stake back into position, and disappeared into the darkness in a blink of an eye...
