Watching Li Fang leave, Hu Dacai whispered: "Fourth Master, if anything happens, just give me your orders."
Fourth Master whispered: "Ask our brothers to quietly spread the news inside and outside the city that we want to fill the vacancy. No matter how much it is, we will accept it."
"Outside the city..." Hu Xiao asked in a low voice.
"The same applies to the victims who have not left the city. However, they cannot enter the city for the time being. Every day, we will send some logistical supplies to the city. The elderly, weak, women and children can enter the city, but they have to be postponed for a few days." Fourth Master thought about it.
After a long time, he said, "If we use these disaster victims outside, they will be the first line of defense to defend the capital. If we don't use them, then one day, they will be the vanguard to attack the capital. Between positive and negative, you can calculate
Calculate this account. Compared with losing some food or losing your life, which one do you choose?"
Of course Hu Da can calculate this account, but there is still a problem, "The food in the capital, now..."
"It's almost here, it's been two days." Fourth Master said, stood up, "Go and do your work."
With that said, he took Li Jian and turned around to go home.
He didn't bother to talk to Yin Laoer, who was sitting by the door with his eyes blinking, waiting for him, and went straight into the house.
"Come out with me." Fourth Master said, letting Lin Yutong change her into official uniform.
Lin Yutong nodded, "I have been thinking about it all morning. What matters now is not only food, but also weapons. The Ministry of War is in charge of ordnance..."
"You and I thought about it together. Here's the problem." Fourth Master stretched out his arms, and Lin Yutong helped him straighten his clothes, and then said: "Not only weapons, but also horses. If we don't take action, it will be easier for others. If not
You guessed it wrong, these nobles should go straight to Tongzhou after leaving the city. No one can board the ship from Tongzhou, so who can take the horses? We don't want it, those guys from Xishan Camp dare to take it all to themselves."
Lin Yutong nodded, "Going to visit the Minister of War?"
The Fourth Master sighed, "Let's go take a look first. Maybe you can't even get in?"
Lin Yutong also found some clothes and started to dress up. "I'll go to the back house. I heard that this Mrs. Shangshu was born in a general family. She comes from a loyal family. I think she must be a bit bloody. I'll give it a try," she said.
She was not idle at home, so she called the little beggar on the street to help her find out news about various houses.
The Fourth Master turned his head to see Lin Yutong's hair, and chose a plain silver hairpin to insert into it, "It can't be too rude."
Lin Yutong looked in the mirror and felt it was appropriate. She turned around and saw the fourth master looking at her from behind, "When did you get these clothes? Why don't you remember?"
This dress looks like a skirt, but in fact, for the convenience of horseback riding, I chose a hakama.
It was too late to do anything, so I found the space that was there. Of course it was prepared by Tianlongli.
Lin Yutong said perfunctorily: "Let's go! Who knows when it was prepared?" His tone was a little guilty.
The fourth master glanced at Lin Yutong with a half-smile, "I've been busy recently. After a while, let's have a good time..." He said, and hummed twice.
Lin Yutong pushed him, "Let's go! It's too late and it's even more rude."
Jin just went to find Lin Yutong, only to find that her daughter had packed up just like a lady from an official family and was getting ready to go out.
"Mother?" Lin Yutong said as he walked: "If there is anything missing at home, let Chen Hong buy it. You don't have to tell me everything."
Mrs. Jin looked at her daughter and son-in-law walking away, "Is it different now that she is an official's wife? I don't even dare to recognize that she is my daughter."
She also wanted to say that it was difficult to buy food outside now, and there was no one there.
When the two of them arrived at the door of the house, they didn't even hand them a ticket inside. They said that Master Shangshu hadn't come back yet, but Mrs. Shangshu replied that she would be invited to come over for tea at noon the day after tomorrow.
Lin Yutong was stunned and couldn't help but look inside. If he had a decisive attitude, there would be no need to meet the day after tomorrow. What does it mean to meet the day after tomorrow?
But the Fourth Master's expression changed, "Hurry! I'm afraid the Holy Pilot will have already boarded the ship in Tongzhou at noon the day after tomorrow. Then, at the latest, we will set off from the capital tomorrow night."
"Master, otherwise, let's split up." Lin Yutong said: "The two commanders in the south of the city and the west of the city are not sure what they have in mind. I only need to gather people, and I will take care of the weapons."
"No!" Fourth Master shook his head firmly, "Nothing is as important as you..."
"Even Yin Sanlang is great, but am I not as good as him?" Lin Yutong raised his head and looked at Fourth Master.
The fourth master hesitated for a long time and finally said: "It's completely late to deal with those two commanders tonight. Besides, with your status, if you want to make promises to others, they may not believe them."
This is true.
Lin Yutong then smiled, got on his horse, and said, "Let's go together. Let's fight quickly."
I gave the little beggar a steamed bun and successfully found the home of the treasurer of the Ministry of War. This guy is not a big official, but he is in charge of the most important job, the key to the warehouse. Of course, only this key cannot open the armory, but about the ordnance
Ku, he knows the most.
The little treasurer lives in a small courtyard in the south of the city.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the woman inside crying and cursing: "...You are a coward. Mr. Liu didn't go with me. You are a stubborn person who wants money but no money and no ability. This rebel has entered the city."
, where is the way for us to survive? Everyone has left, and we are left... No, no matter what happens today, you have to deliver this thing to the hands of the minister. Even if you are working as a servant for others, you can call us
Follow along..."
Just as the fourth master was about to push the door open, the door opened from the inside. A short man with a sallow face and a mustache came out. He was wearing an official uniform and couldn't hold it up at all. Plus, he had a hunched back with his chest in his chest.
The clothes looked even more like they were stolen. He had a shady attitude.
When the man looked at Fourth Master, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his index finger and said "Shh".
He waved his hand gently to stop the two of them from talking. Then he glanced through the crack in the door and closed the door gently. Then he took the package in his hand and walked to Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, "It's Mr. Yin
Soldier, right? I really know you, my official. Just like Hu Da, I will call you Fourth Master."
Lin Yutong pointed to a tea shop at the entrance of the alley, "Let's talk inside."
"Secretary Miao." After the fourth master sat down, he said to Miao Zhongyi, "I have also met you. If I remember correctly, it was in the Admiral's Yamen. We met once. As for your friendship with Hu Da
, I think, it’s just a spiritual friendship.”
Lin Yutong suddenly realized that this boy had deliberately mentioned Hu Da in order to win the fourth master's trust as quickly as possible. In fact, he had also heard that Hu Da was trusted by the fourth master.
This man is not a big official, but he has a lot of eyes.
Miao Zhongyi smiled coquettishly, "Fourth Master has a good memory. Yes, on the first day that Fourth Master takes office, the Ministry of War will always have a few people to support the scene. I am one of them. I just didn't expect that such a small person can still enter.
It caught your eyes. It's really surprising." He was huddled in the corner at that time.
Fourth Master knocked on the table, "You are also a smart man. For the sake of calling me Fourth Master, please tell me what you have to say."
Miao Zhongyi looked around and saw Lin Yutong hesitated.
Fourth Master frowned and said, "This is Madam! Meeting Madam is the same as meeting Master."
Lin Yutong glanced around, then threw a silver bean to the boss, "There is no need for the store to entertain others today."
Miao Zhongyi then greeted Lin Yutong, "I was rude just now." After saying that, he did not dare to look at Lin Yutong anymore but said to the fourth master, "Before, I thought the fourth master was a stupid young man, but now I dare to go to him
Upward..."
Lin Yutong thought to himself, no wonder this guy's official position couldn't be promoted. Not to mention how wretched he is, the key is that he can't speak.
Not many bosses are willing to hire such a person.
The fourth master, however, remained calm as he listened to what Miao Zhongyi said.
"But now, I know that Fourth Master is wise. In this world, those with money and power have their own escape routes. So those who don't have these two have to find a way to occupy the other one and have soldiers in their hands. As long as
You can always find a way to survive by using the army. Therefore, I am a person with no power and money, and others look down upon me. I can only hope that there is something in me that the fourth master likes. So that I can be given a chance to serve. In the future, the fourth master will
You can keep my wife and children safe."
He didn't say any flattering words that were conquered by the fourth master's domineering spirit, but they were all more realistic truths.
"Then what do you think you are worth?" Fourth Master raised his eyes and looked over.
Miao Zhongyi took off the key from his neck, "I know in my heart what the fourth master wants. Now, if I give this to the fourth master, my little family can't go back."
"Take your family and go to the camp in the north of the city to find Hu Da for resettlement." Fourth Master said, taking the key over, "Who else has the key?"
"There are three in total." Miao Zhongyi frowned, "In addition to the small one, there is another one in the hand of Lord Shangshu, and one in the hand of King Zhao." After speaking, he added, "King Zhao supervises the Ministry of War."
Lin Yutong's heart skipped a beat. The Shangshu Mansion had already hit a wall, and King Zhao couldn't even think about it.
Fourth Master nodded, "Go ahead." and dismissed Miao Zhongyi.
Lin Yutong gave him a gold ingot as usual.
"Go back first." The fourth master played with the key and said, "At least, without this key, they can forget about opening the warehouse door. As long as they leave the things behind, there is always a way to open it." Mechanically.
It's okay, Fourth Master doesn't think it can trouble him.
Lin Yutong was counting the time in his heart. As a result, time was running out.
After returning home, Fourth Master took someone out. Lin Yutong then changed into night clothes...
