Looking at the eighth brother in front of him, Long Lin could only show a wry smile.
Taking charge of the civil service? He has never had such an idea.
Now he has enough things to do, but he doesn't really want to get involved in the affairs of the staff.
It was also to help his eighth brother that he came here to dig out the power behind it. Otherwise, he would not bother to come here.
The Six Ministries can be said to be important departments of the imperial court, and he has already taken control of two of them.
What would the Manchu officials think? What would his father think?
Most importantly, what would his fifth brother Long Qi think?
Long Qi, who originally regarded him as an enemy, saw him prospering, didn't he regard him as a thorn in his side?
It's easy to dodge an open spear but hard to defend against a hidden arrow. I'm afraid even his fifth brother would have the intention to kill him.
Looking at the look in Long Qian's eyes, how could Long Lin not think of what this guy was thinking deep down in his heart.
He really has no idea of becoming an emperor, he just wants to do something for the people, and then he can win a beautiful woman.
Thinking of this, Long Lin subconsciously looked at Yudie.
Sensing Long Lin's gaze, Yudie showed a trace of doubt.
"It's so good, what do you think I'm doing?"
"Seeing how beautiful you are, I want to marry you."
Long Lin was off guard and blurted out in an instant. After the words came out, Long Lin immediately reacted, with a slight blush on his cheeks.
Ahem...he coughed twice quickly to cover up his embarrassment.
hehe......
After hearing Long Lin's words, Long Qian and Yan Qin burst into laughter.
This Long Lin has such thoughts about Yudie. If the two of them were not stupid, they would have noticed this suspicion a long time ago.
I just didn't expect that Long Lin would have the courage to say it.
Yudie was also stunned. She did not expect that Long Lin would suddenly say such words at this time.
Seeing Long Lin's face turn red, Yu Die also smiled.
"Oh? You said you want to marry me? Then you have to work hard. First of all, you have to live. I believe that no one is willing to marry a dead person."
Long Qian couldn't understand Yudie's words at all.
What do you mean by this? Doesn’t his sixth brother look like a dead person?
But after Yanqin heard this, his smile immediately disappeared, his eyelids suddenly twitched, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
Long Lin could naturally understand that this was the promise he made.
"Yu'er, maybe you will be willing in the future?"
Long Lin said with a smile, with a hint of confidence on his cheeks.
Yudie chuckled and shook her head slightly, but did not speak.
In Yudie's heart, she would not agree. Would she? Definitely not!
Bang bang bang...
There was a slight knock on the door, and everyone looked at the door.
Long Lin stepped forward, opened the door, and looked directly outside.
As soon as the door opened, he saw the village chief's old and fawning face.
Behind the village chief, stood a large group of young people. Not far behind this group of young people were the county magistrate and several officers and soldiers.
"Young hero, I have found all the people you asked me to find. These are the people who followed Liu Nang outside."
Long Lin nodded and stood in front of a group of people.
Everyone looked at Long Lin with blank expressions on their faces.
Long Lin first looked at the man in front of him and came to stand in front of him.
"Tell me, what's your name? How many times have you gone out with Liu Bang?"
The person being questioned has a very strong body and looks like a very powerful person.
"My name is Tian San. I have been there five times in total. Anyway, I remember getting back the money from five times."
Long Lin nodded, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Okay, how much money do you bring back every time you come back?"
"The first time was ten taels, the second time was seven taels, then eight taels, seven taels, six taels, that's how much silver it is."
This person said it directly in one breath. When they came, they had already learned that Liu Nang was dead.
Once Liu Nang died, they would no longer have the chance to follow Liu Nang out, and there would be no chance to get money again.
The people who asked them were some experts. They already knew that they had brought back the money. With the village chief's instructions, they would naturally tell the truth.
Long Lin nodded again, his expression not changing much.
"Then where did Liu Nang take you to? Why did it take more than half a year to go?"
This time when Long Lin finished speaking, Tian San immediately showed a look of confusion on his face.
"Sir, I really don't know. I only remember that everyone was following Liu Nang, and then I didn't know anything as we walked."
"When I woke up again, everyone was already following Liu Nang on the way back to the village, and they were very close to the village."
"Just before everyone is about to enter the village, Liu Nang will distribute the money to all of us one by one."
What Tian San said was very sincere, without any hint of lying.
As soon as he said these words, Long Lin immediately showed a surprised look.
"Tian San, this matter is not a trivial matter. You have to tell the truth. Life is at stake. There are so many people in the village who went with you, but many of them have not come back. The government suspects that you killed them.
Already."
In order to test Tian San, Long Lin deliberately spoke harshly, hoping to scare Tian San.
They are all common people in a few villages, and they are definitely not as tough-talking as Liu Nang.
Murder is a serious crime, and death is inevitable. Even the people in the village must know what the consequences will be after killing someone.
After hearing this, Tian San was immediately frightened.
A strong man turned pale with fright and his body started to tremble.
"Sir, I definitely didn't kill anyone. I followed Liu Bang just to earn some money."
"What I said is true. If you don't believe it, sir, you can ask the people around me. They are all the same as me."
As soon as Tian San finished speaking, the people around him immediately spoke in agreement.
Long Lin carefully observed everyone's reactions, and the expressions he saw were basically the same, and they did not look like they were lying.
They are all ordinary villagers, if they are not trained actors.
How is it possible for them to control their expressions so well, even if there are some people who have such ability.
But there are more than fifty people here, and there are always people who can't stand the intimidation.
But Long Lin looked over and found nothing special.
Long Lin continued to look at Tian San, planning to ask in detail.
"Tian San, think about it carefully. Do you have any strange experiences every time you go out with me?"
"And how did you suddenly recover your memory when you came back?"
When Long Lin asked, Tian San immediately spoke without even thinking.
"Sir, how could a villain not think about such a bizarre thing?"
"Several times, I paid special attention to this matter, but I always followed Liu Nang, and it was always the same night."
"As I walked, I felt drowsy, and then it was like I fell asleep."
"When he woke up again, he was still walking with Liu Nang. Suddenly, as if he had woken up, he saw the village not far away."
When Tian San said these words, his face was full of surprise.
