Admiral Zhao left the defense of the capital to the Fourth Master and another commander-in-chief named Cheng Qing.
But Cheng Qing was not in charge of the defense of the Forty-Nine City, and he was very aware of current affairs. After the carriages and horses in the capital left and the city gates were closed again, Cheng Qing reported illness. Not only did he report illness, he also entrusted the affairs to
The fourth master.
Zhuo Yun's head is still hanging on the flagpole. Cheng Qing is in charge of arresting bandits in the capital. He is not aware of this matter. When he encounters such a murderous person, how far will he go?
How far is it.
In this city, there are quite a lot of people left in various yamen and yamen, but the only one with real military power is the Fourth Master, so he can be regarded as the number one person in the capital now.
Lin Yutong changed clothes and was about to go out. Jin grabbed him and said, "It's a mess outside, so don't run around. Ask your brother to follow you."
"It's okay!" Lin Yutong was furious, "Don't worry, your uncle has the final say in this capital now. I can let your daughter walk sideways on the street. As for you, it's better not to go out for the time being. No one knows you.
." He said, looking at Lin Jiren, "Dad, look at my mother."
Then, while walking, he said to Zhu Yin and He Yuan: "Look at the people at home, and they are not allowed to go out. Of course, no one is allowed to enter. I have locked the inner courtyard door."
Chen Hong led the horse over, and she took the reins and ordered: "If anyone comes to visit, leave the message to Cheng Feng and don't accept the things. Let me know that you dare to accept other people's things, and don't take your hands."
"
Chen Hong hurriedly responded. Now that the tide has risen, all boats are lifted. What a respectable status he has now. He can be regarded as the big housekeeper of the family. How dare he have other thoughts.
Lin Yutong got on his horse and headed directly to the east of the city.
This is where the residences of nobles and ministers gather. It is also a cleaner place than anywhere else.
When Li Fang saw that Lin Yutong was coming, he quickly saluted, "Madam."
"Where is the master?" Lin Yutong asked.
"The Xishan Camp is still stationed outside the city and has not been evacuated. Fourth Master has gone to negotiate." Li Fang saw Lin Yutong dismounting and took the initiative to hold the horse's reins.
Lin Yutong nodded, "All the houses are sealed?"
Li Fang nodded, "Yes, they are all sealed."
Lin Yutong suddenly thought of a person, "Go and send for Miao Zhongyi's treasurer. I have something to tell you. Who is guarding the grain depot?"
"It's Commander Tie." Li Fang whispered, "I caught someone at the grain depot. This person must be an old friend of Fourth Master, so..."
"Old old?" Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment and couldn't remember. He said, "Bring the person here first and let me take a look."
As a result, a quarter of an hour later, the man whom King Zhao called "Chang Qing" was brought up.
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, this man was really smart.
"Because you had untied DU on you, so you didn't follow King Zhao?" Lin Yutong sat on the steps and asked with his head raised.
Fang Changqing straightened his large sleeves and said, "Thanks to your great blessing, I can only become your prisoner now." He looked very aggrieved.
Lin Yutong smiled unkindly, "You know I heard you talking about the granary, so I guessed that the person who took over the granary must be related to me. For JIEDU, I went to the granary to wait and see. You are not timid, don't be afraid.
He was killed without any explanation."
Fang Changqing glanced at Lin Yutong resentfully, "Thanks to the fourth master, the fourth master controls me well. I only reported my name as the fourth master. No one dares to be rude."
Lin Yutong nodded and then said: "However, it is quite discerning to be able to tell at a glance that those people are from the infantry commanding the yamen and not from the Xishan camp closest to the capital." She smiled and gave a specious compliment.
Fang Changqing held his breath. He was like this. When would it be a woman's turn to comment on him? He casually cupped his hands and expressed his inner dissatisfaction in a perfunctory manner. Then he took a long time to gather his energy before saying: "Girl, please
You are so noble. Seeing that you have strong troops and horses now, you must have taken the things from the armory. So, this DU on your lower body..."
"What girl? Madam?" Li Fang scolded. Then he turned to Lin Yutong and said, "Madam, this person was once a famous talent in the capital, Fang Changqing."
Lin Yutong looked Fang Changqing up and down, "You're a talented man, he's pretty much what I thought. Why didn't you take the imperial examination well and become King Zhao's staff instead?"
Fang Changqing looked at Lin Yutong with strange eyes, "Are you married?"
How fresh are these words!
Lin Yutong touched her pulled-up hair. She wasn't pretending to be an unmarried girl.
This action seemed to remind Fang Changqing that his eyesight was not good.
Fang Changqing's face suddenly turned bad. Just now, he was still guessing that the female snitch was the fourth master's sister, but unexpectedly, she was his lover's sister.
There was no reason in my heart, so I lowered my eyelids and said nothing.
Lin Yutong saw that he didn't answer the question of why he was a staff member, so she thought it was his excuse, and it was reasonable to refuse. She smiled and said: "The first time I gave you food that night was indeed DUYAO, but the second time I had it, it was DUYAO."
It's the antidote. You're fine..."
Fang Changqing looked at Lin Yutong in astonishment, pointing at her face, which turned purple. Did he know that everyone had gone to Jinling? Even his family members had gone, and he stayed here alone. What he said to King Zhao was to stay.
Come down to check the situation. In fact, it is indeed because of this woman... Now, he is not poisoned, and she... Although whether she gets married or not has nothing to do with him, he feels that this is also the reason why he is angry and disappointed now.
reason.
Before Lin Yutong could say anything, he saw Li Fang coming over again with Miao Zhongyi.
There are few people who can use it nowadays, so Miao Zhongyi can use it.
"You lead people and cooperate with Commander Li to transport the grain stored by each family to the granary. You must keep a clear account book, how much grain you borrowed from which family, and the condition of the grain. The fourth master will write an IOU to others later."
Lin Yutong warned Miao Zhongyi.
Miao Zhongyi was stunned, as if he couldn't understand what Lin Yutong said. This capital belongs to the Fourth Master, shouldn't everything in the capital be decided by the Fourth Master? Why did he still write it down and issue an IOU? What is this?
Even Fang Changqing looked at Lin Yutong like he was a fool. He was about to say something, what a gentlemanly robber.
After entering someone else's house and sealing up their treasury, they are pretending to borrow money. Who will believe it?
The sound of horse hoofbeats was heard, and everyone couldn't help but look towards the entrance of the alley.
Lin Yutong's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw the visitor.
Fang Changqing saw Lin Yutong's expression and knew that this was the legendary Fourth Master. He was tall, burly, and handsome, and his face looked extremely young, but his expression was quite steady. His face was solemn, making people awe for no reason.
It wasn't until he saw the female snitch that his expression softened. Seeing him jumping off his horse, his movements were smooth and fluid. When he walked, he also walked with the steps of a dragon and a tiger. He always felt that among the princes, King Zhao was the most dignified one.
Compared with this young man today, King Zhao is much inferior. But King Zhao is thirty-five this year. How old is this guy? It is said that he is only sixteen years old. King Zhao’s eldest son is already twenty this year. He is older than King Zhao’s son
You are still young. Why is this not surprising?
The fourth master came over, took a look at the scene, and asked Lin Yutong, "What's wrong?"
"Ask someone to record the amount of food borrowed by each family." Lin Yutong said calmly.
When the Fourth Master heard this, he understood Lin Yutong's plan. He glanced at Li Fang and said, "Do as Madam said. Remember, Qiu has done nothing wrong! Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed!"
Li Fang then took Miao Zhongyi to dispatch manpower.
The fourth master glanced at Fang Changqing again, narrowed his eyes slightly, turned to Lin Yutong and said, "Just ask someone to send the account book back to you. You don't have to keep an eye on everything."
Lin Yutong nodded first, pointed at Fang Changqing and said to Fourth Master: "This is the one I mentioned to you, Fang Changqing, King Zhao's staff."
Fang Changqing bowed to the Fourth Master and said, "Famous is not as good as meeting. It's true that there is no false reputation under the reputation."
This is praising Fourth Master, but why is it not praising himself.
Fourth Master Fang Changqing nodded, "Mr. Fang is not busy, is he?"
Fang Changqing was stunned, not knowing what kind of way of speaking this was. He said: "My family and friends are going to Jinling south. I am alone here, so there is nothing wrong with me?"
"Then please do me a favor, sir." Fourth Master pointed to this area, "Help us monitor. If there is any damage to the house, malicious destruction, embezzlement of personal possessions, concealment or failure to report these behaviors, sir, please note them down. Come back.
There will be military law to deal with it."
Fang Changqing was choked for a moment. He originally thought he was a tycoon in troubled times, but now he saw that he had very big intentions.
After Fourth Master finished speaking, he didn't give him any time to object, and directly pulled Lin Yutong away.
As Lin Yutong walked, he whispered to the fourth master: "I am a staff member, so you have to ask me to do some monitoring. Isn't this overkill?"
"You should do some more specific work." Fourth Master said helplessly: "You are not good at this kind of thinking about people. Just leave this matter alone, I know it well."
Lin Yutong glared at Fourth Master, "What do you mean? I think I am quite advanced. Aren't you worried that this person is in Cao Ying but his heart is in Han?"
"Even if I am in Cao's camp and my heart is in the Han Dynasty, I can still use him. Not only can I use him, but I can also make great use of him." The fourth master turned to look at Lin Yutong, "Do you know the reason for this?"
Lin Yutong was speechless for a moment.
Fourth Master smiled, "So, it's good for you to do some specific work. After calculating the approximate amount of food, you should calculate the money and food for disaster relief in various places. This is the most important thing. This kind of trivial matter of figuring out how to use people
, don’t waste your brain.” The key is that you don’t have that string.
