Li Fang hurriedly came in, his steps still a little staggering. He was really scared. Someone was sent to guard outside, but something went wrong and he asked someone to go in. If Madam hadn't returned in time, something might have happened.
Woolen cloth.
Fang Changqing followed behind, panting heavily. Whether he was galloping on a fast horse with Li Fang just now, or walking quickly after dismounting, his physical fitness was not acceptable.
When he entered the yard out of breath, he saw Lin Yutong asking someone to help Li Fang get up.
"This subordinate is guilty." Li Fang muttered to himself.
Lin Yutong raised his head and glanced at Fang Changqing, who had just entered the yard, "It's very cold outside, but we are talking inside."
The temperature in the study cannot be said to be as warm as spring, but it is still much warmer than outside.
There is no earth dragon in this house, only a red fire burning in a charcoal pot.
"Let's all sit down." Lin Yutong asked the two of them to sit down. "There is hot tea on the table. You can pour it yourself. You're welcome."
Li Fang first asked about the situation at home, "...Is there nothing serious?"
Lin Yutong shook his head, "It's okay! I was just a little frightened." After saying that, he asked about Chengnan again, "How are you now?"
"Once Wan Yong and Liu Heng died, the rest were just a mob. It didn't take much effort." Li Fang said seriously: "But even so, more than a hundred people were killed or injured..."
Lin Yutong's hand paused, and then he chuckled: "If they hadn't been stopped in time, they would have caused chaos. There would have been more than one or two thousand casualties. They were all helpless people. They deserved their death. Yes.
Sometimes, if you don’t teach a bloody lesson, you won’t be able to remember it.”
Li Fang raised his head and looked at this young lady, talking about dead people as if he was talking about the most careless thing, with a hint of indifference in the plainness. He thought, after today, what will this woman say again?
He no longer finds it strange, "It's just the people captured today in the south of the city..."
"Lock them all up first." Lin Yutong chuckled, "A bowl of porridge every day is enough to keep you hungry. As for the future... let's wait until we are too hungry to do anything."
Fang Qingshan couldn't help but be speechless, who would say so confidently about treating prisoners harshly.
Li Fang felt that this was a matter of course. No matter where these people were assigned, they would be a source of instability. In addition, there might be a war ahead. Naturally, he wanted stability and comfort. He nodded and said he would comply.
Brother Lin came in and brought three bowls of porridge, "Eat some of them all." Then he looked at Lin Yutong, "What should I do with the people outside? Then leave them in the heavy snow?" What if they freeze to death?
Lin Yutong listened to the wind outside and asked, "Is the snow heavy again?"
Brother Lin nodded, "It's big, it's evil."
Lin Yutong felt worried in his heart. In such a day, the fourth master didn't know what to do.
"I'll go out after eating. I won't freeze to death for a while." Lin Yutong picked up the bowl and said lightly. But the sweet and glutinous red date porridge was not tasteless when he drank it.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and saw that Fang Changqing had also put down the bowl, took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, saying, "Mr. Fang has something important to say."
Fang Changqing glanced at Li Fang.
Li Fang knew that this meant that he wanted to talk alone. He immediately stood up and wanted to leave.
"Tell the patrols to pay attention. The snow is heavy and houses may collapse." Lin Yutong warned before sending Li Fang out.
He turned around and looked at Fang Changqing, "What's wrong with Mr. Fang? You can't say it in front of others."
This was the first time for Fang Changqing to sit face to face with Lin Yutong like this. He saw her impatience and smiled bitterly in his heart, but he did not dare to talk nonsense and said directly: "I'm here for the five people outside."
"Do you know their details?" Lin Yutong asked.
Fang Changqing nodded slowly, "Either clean these people out at once, or don't touch anything? You don't know the depth of this."
Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows, "I'd like to hear the details."
Fang Changqing frowned, "These people, if I guess correctly, should all be eunuchs."
"Yeah!" Lin Yutong nodded, "I can see that."
"You can't imagine the emperor's trust in the eunuchs." Fang Changqing shook his head, "They are like rats under the ground, hiding in the crowd. They stare at the officials and the ministers. They are everywhere. Many things are under their control.
There are no secrets in his eyes. Take the capital as an example, do you know how many people like them are hidden in the capital? They may be turtle men in the JI courtyard, waiters in restaurants, or candy sellers on the streets.
The salesman is a fortune teller who sets up a stall on the street. He may even be hiding among the victims."
"Monitor the world! Monitor the world!" Fang Changqing said sternly, "If you don't get rid of such a group of people at once, have you thought about the consequences?"
Lin Yutong thought to herself, she had already had such a conjecture in her mind.
The true Ming Dynasty was also a dynasty of eunuchs, and the Dongchang Jinyiwei was not such a secret service agency.
In fact, which dynasty and generation didn't have it? The fourth master still has a sticking point.
Lin Yutong knocked on the table, "Is this enough?"
Fang Changqing stared. Isn't this enough? As a village girl, you shouldn't be surprised, scared, overwhelmed, and at a loss when you hear these, and then ask me eagerly what to do? Now like this
What's going on with his expression?
He glanced at Lin Yutong and said, "These people are highly skilled in martial arts, and they are all dead soldiers. What do you think you can do with these people in your hands? Once they are missed, you will face endless troubles."
Lin Yutong chuckled, "There is nothing in this world that is not troublesome. No matter what, I will really help you tonight." She stood up and said, "I'll send someone to take Mr. Fang back. It's getting late."
Fang Changqing frowned, "Why don't you listen to my advice? If you don't touch these people, they won't touch you until they receive instructions..."
Lin Yutong had already walked out. When she reached the door, she looked back at Fang Changqing and said, "Mr. Fang, after all, you still look down on us. Would you still suggest this in front of King Zhao?"
of course not!
Fang Changqing said nothing, but the look on his face betrayed him.
The smile on Lin Yutong's face disappeared, and she looked at Fang Changqing, "Then I think you are not the person we want to use." She always feels superior to others, and always looks at people from a bird's eye view. With this mentality,
, what else is available.
Fang Changqing watched Lin Yutong walk out without hesitation, his face flushed, "...It's so kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs. There are some things that you can't do with brute force."
Lin Yutong laughed mockingly, brute force?
Isn't it possible to defeat ten guilds with one force?
Besides, does he really only have brute strength?
Lin Yutong wrapped her body in a large cloak and looked at the snowflakes floating in the sky. She walked towards the yard.
"Still don't want to say anything?" Lin Yutong looked at the tall and thin man and asked in a low voice.
It took Slanky a long time before he raised his head and said, "Tomorrow morning, all you will get is five frozen corpses."
Lin Yutong nodded, "I admire your courage." She looked at the faces of the five people one by one, "Do you have any last words to say? I'll try my best to do it for you."
The tall and thin man laughed mockingly.
Lin Yutong looked puzzled, "What? Is there anything funny? There are always many things that can't be let go of before death. Even if you don't have children, don't you have parents and friends? Even if your parents are not necessarily alive, I think
They will also be thinking that someone can offer them a piece of incense. Don’t you all have parents?"
The tall and thin man laughed again. It seemed to be mocking, but also seemed to be desolate.
Lin Yutong looked at the tall and thin man, "You have hatred for your biological parents." She approached him and looked into his eyes, "What? Were you betrayed by your parents?"
"Shut up!" the tall and thin man snorted, "What do you know? What do you know about teenage girl movies?"
Very good! I am excited.
Lin Yutong said with a somewhat sarcastic smile: "Why don't I understand? Families that can't survive, families with many sons, send their children to the palace to be eunuchs to find a way to survive. Of course, there are many more, they are all human beings.
Children who have been stolen or robbed, or beggars on the street. They are all poor people."
"Poor?" The tall and thin man laughed loudly, "I don't know how much better we are than those people who struggle to survive all day just for a bite to eat?"
Lin Yutong showed a bit of surprise, and then sighed leisurely, "If this is the case, I think your parents can probably feel at ease. I have seen such a pair of parents who were forced to sell their children.
But they have lived with guilt all their lives, and the mother cried her eyes out because she missed her son..."
"We have seen more people passing by than you, a little girl, so stop fooling people here with your words." The sarcasm on the tall and thin man's face became more and more obvious, "You can save yourself some trouble."
Lin Yutong's eyes darkened, but you are still disturbed by your parents, aren't you? Even if all that is left is hatred.
There are only regrets and ties in my heart, but there is nothing that cannot be opened.
She shook her head and smiled, "That's true, you are all people who have seen a lot. And what you usually see is the dark side." She said, suddenly turning her head and saying: "Then do you have any regrets?"
The tall and thin man had not yet spoken, but the one with the scar on his forehead laughed loudly and said: "...Regret? Yes! Yes! We all want to have a real taste of a woman, how about this?
Madam, can you satisfy us? As long as you are willing, we can say anything..."
Lin Yutong slapped him in the face, but there was no anger on his face, "I hit you because you are disrespectful. As for your regret, don't you want to grow something like that again? What's so difficult about this?"
The man suddenly looked at Lin Yutong, "What did you say?"
