Xiao Nan looked at him confused, "Brother-in-law, you...how did you know..."
Shen Binglan on the side also looked at him in surprise.
Qin Yu smiled calmly, "Of course it's a guess. Lin Ruozhou will definitely not take the initiative to tell me this."
Xiao Nan: "..."
Shen Binglan: "..."
The two of them felt very speechless, but they also felt that Qin Yu's speculation was very reasonable.
If Lin Ruozhou uses this method, it will be really difficult for them.
"Brother-in-law, what should we do?"
Xiao Nan looked at Qin Yu and asked in amazement.
He had thought that this trip to Hebei would not be too smooth, but he did not expect that trouble would already arise before they arrived.
Qin Yu said calmly: "It doesn't matter. The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. I have seen many tricks. Maybe their methods will not be as clever as mine."
Xiao Nan hesitated and said blankly: "Sister...brother-in-law, do you also know how to subdue demons?"
Qin Yu said nonchalantly: "Of course, is there any way I can't do it? Don't worry, as long as I'm here, Lin Ruozhou won't be able to make waves!"
Xiao Nan was overjoyed, "Okay, then it's up to you, brother-in-law."
Qin Yu's words are there.
Xiao Nan's heart instantly felt at ease.
Shen Binglan listened quietly and didn't ask any questions.
Qin Yu naturally looked confident. In this era, the level of scientific and technological development was very low, so the theory of ghosts and gods was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people.
Many unexplainable phenomena are naturally related to ghosts and gods.
Therefore, there are many charlatans and swindlers in this era.
They will use some seemingly magical means to deceive people.
In fact, it is just some very simple common sense of physics and chemistry.
Qin Yu naturally knows more than them.
So he wasn't worried.
...
Hebei.
Youzhou, Pingcheng.
Governor's Mansion, study room.
Hebei Governor Lin Ruozhou sat in front of the desk, holding a letter in his hand.
There were two people standing in front of him.
"Lin Zuo, where are the consort and the prince?"
Lin Ruozhou looked at one of the men and spoke slowly.
Lin Zuo saluted and said: "Back to the Governor, the consort and the prince have arrived at the junction of Hebei and Jingzhou, and are expected to arrive in Pingcheng in five days."
Lin Ruozhou nodded slightly and looked at the other man, "Lin You, how are you preparing for the opening of the altar?"
Lin You saluted and said: "Back to the Governor, everything is ready. Just wait for the consort and the prince to arrive, and the leader has also completed the search. As soon as they enter ten miles away from Pingcheng, we will start to ensure that they cannot enter Pingcheng."
"
After saying that, he said again: "Grand Governor, do we need to cause a armed conflict?"
Lin Ruozhou waved his hand and said calmly: "No, you don't understand the prince-in-law. He likes soft things but not hard things. If he comes hard, he will probably be angered. He is not an easy person to offend, but if he comes soft,
The governor will keep him safe from entering the city."
Lin You saluted and said, "Yes, Grand Governor."
As he spoke, he added: "But for such a shrewd person as the Prince Consort, he must have inserted the Jin Yiwei into our Hebei a long time ago. He may already know what we are going to do."
Lin Ruozhou nodded and frowned slightly, "You are right, but now we have no better way. We definitely can't use strong ones, and this is just a delaying tactic. It depends on how we subjugate demons and kill demons, assassins, and places.
Can the riot suppress the consort and the prince?"
Lin You's eyes darkened, "These damn Jin Yiwei are so pervasive and so hidden. I touched their dens several times, but they ran away!"
Lin Ruozhou said lightly: "Normally, those people are elites from the Yulin Guards. If they are caught by you, it will be a joke. This great Wei consort is really difficult to deal with!"
Last year, the imperial court completed the purge of officials.
Fan Junliang, Bai Jiangheng and other powerful officials in the court were all beheaded.
Lin Ruozhou knew that sooner or later it would be his turn, but at that time, Pingzhou and Dongzhou were also tortured by Qin Yu.
Now Jingzhou has completed the reorganization of local officials, the division of military and political power, and the implementation of land reform and the new tax system "Dividing a small person into an acre".
After this series of actions by the court, Lin Ruozhou's heart felt half cold.
He knew that the imperial court would take action sooner or later, but he did not expect that the action would be so big and there would be no room for maneuver.
Especially with the division of military and political power, he, the governor of Hebei, was no longer in name only.
So what Lin Ruozhou wants now is to get Qin Yu and Xiao Nan away first, and then make long-term plans.
These two people are really the living kings of hell. They cannot be beaten, scolded, or provoked.
In order to get Qin Yu and Xiao Nan away, Lin Ruozhou did everything possible.
If Qin Yu and Xiao Nan are allowed to mess around in Hebei, the Lin family will also be messed up.
Lin Ruozhou really didn't expect that a small second son of Prince Qin's palace would be so capable of twisting and turning, and he would almost overturn the great Wei Dynasty.
There was a pause.
Lin Ruozhou waved his hand, "Okay, you two go back and make arrangements. Don't mess this up, and don't take it lightly. The consort and the prince are by no means easy to deal with!"
"Yes, Grand Governor." Lin Zuo and Lin You bowed to each other and then exited the study.
Lin Ruozhou stood up and walked around the room, her brows furrowed and she had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan came to Hebei this time, making him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Lin Ruozhou hasn't had this feeling for many years.
...
Four days later.
Hebei.
Youzhou.
Qin Yu and his party rode their horses on the official road.
Not far away, Sun Ling, the flag officer, rushed back again, holding a secret letter in his hand.
At this time, they were less than a day's journey from Pingcheng.
The marching team stopped to rest.
Qin Yu took the letter from Sun Ling and read it carefully.
Qin Yu knew that the demons and demons that Pingzhou was causing trouble and opening the altar must be aimed at him, so he needed to understand the other party's methods and then use more advanced means to suppress them.
It is most comfortable to defeat magic with magic.
Xiao Nan looked at Qin Yu's serious look and leaned his head over, "Brother-in-law, what news has come again?"
Qin Yu handed the letter to him, "I asked Hongyuan and the others to find out the methods used by those alchemists, so that we can take measures against their methods."
Xiao Nan looked at the letter, frowned, and asked doubtfully: "Brother-in-law, this...is this thing really so magical?"
Qin Yu nodded, "True."
In fact, these methods are not complicated, but in this era when scientific knowledge is very scarce, they are really amazing.
