"Go to the Jiaofangsi?" Sanlang's face turned green. Not only did the lady go to the hospital, but now she also wanted to go to the Jiaofangsi. This Jiaofangsi was an actor and an official. When the Fourth Master came back, he knew that he had brought him with him
Lin Yutong always hangs out in places like that and has to deal with himself. He can tell if this man is interested in women. So, he immediately shook his head: "Whatever Madam wants to know, or wants to check, I will do it. That way
It is not a suitable place for Madam to go."
Lin Yutong waved his hand, "I'm going here for business. The Emperor's seventieth birthday is coming soon, and I think I still have to prepare a gift. You will be responsible for all the songs and dances. Let's choose the candidates first.
, it must be stunning.”
"Giving someone... singing and dancing?" Sanlang was stunned.
Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows: "They have also given us an imperial edict to purchase young women. You can't really ask us to choose a girl from a good family. The Jiaofang Secretary usually raises her for free, and she needs it at this time."
I believe you are the only one who has ghosts.
I still want to find an excuse to go to Jiaofangsi without attracting attention.
"Okay." Sanlang responded resignedly, "Then how do we get there?"
Lin Yutong stood up and walked out, "Go with great fanfare."
At this time, outside the gate, the chariot had indeed been prepared. Saburo followed his fate on horseback, and together with dozens of other guards, guarded the chariot.
"Let's go." Lin Yutong's voice came from the carriage.
As soon as this chariot appeared on the street, countless people stared at it. The most concerned thing was what the lady was going to do.
Sanlang finally understood that as long as Lin Yutong appeared in the Jiaofang Division today, no matter what was hidden in the Jiaofang Division, he had to be careful and careful, because all the eyes of the capital would be directed at them.
As the carriage walked along, people along the way consciously gave way. Behind the carriage, there were many people watching the fun.
When the carriage stopped at the door of the Jiaofangsi, a "clang" was heard, and the door of the Jiaofangsi suddenly closed.
Sanlang raised his eyebrows and said in a loud voice: "What do you mean inside? Madam is here. Instead of opening the door to greet her, why did she close the door instead?"
Lin Yutong smiled while sitting on the carriage and stopped moving for the time being.
Sanlang glanced behind him and had no choice but to accept his fate and put on a dark face. He pointed at the guard and said, "You can't break down the door for me. What's the rule? Madam, I'm here to personally select someone to give you dignity. Why are you so ignorant?"
Then, he held his hands around and said to the people watching the excitement: "The imperial court has issued a decree to recruit young women from the electorate. Madam is kind-hearted, so she thought of Jiaofangsi."
For a girl from a good family, recruitment is a nightmare. But for the Jiaofang Secretary, this is a step to the sky. Being able to serve the master is better than wasting one's youth here and not having enough to eat.
In no time, there were voices of praise all around, and many people kowtowed to the chariot.
At this time, the door of the Jiaofang Division opened, and a middle-aged man came out. He bowed his head and said, "Madam, I'm sorry, but the gatekeeper is a fool and has a bad mind. Seeing this battle, I felt a little nervous for a moment.
I'm afraid. Madam, forgive me!"
Lin Yutong then raised the curtain and got out of the car, "No gifts. Open the door and I'll pick some people."
The man quickly stood up from the ground, waved his hand, and the door opened.
Lin Yutong looked up and down at the man. He looked like he was in his thirties or forties, his complexion was a little yellow, and his eyelids were lowered. She frowned and said, "Are you the manager here?"
The man lowered his head, "Yes, little Dong Cheng,"
Lin Yutong nodded and stepped inside. As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw a large courtyard. There were many stone locks and weapon racks in the courtyard. "This is..."
"As to Madam, this is for martial arts training." Dong Cheng quickly replied.
Sanlang moved forward and could barely pick up a stone lock with one hand, which weighed about twenty or thirty kilograms. "It's not bad. It can also be used as an exercise over time."
With that said, he threw down the stone lock, rubbed his arms, rubbed the mud under his feet, and nodded towards Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong looked at the stone lock and the puddle of water next to it, smiled, and continued walking forward, "Bring those with good looks first."
She didn't enter the house either, and sat under the eaves of the main hall.
Dong Cheng hesitated for a moment, waved to a child to serve tea, and then handed over to Lin Yutong, "Wait a moment, madam."
When Sanlang saw Dong Cheng leaving, he whispered to Lin Yutong: "The weapons on the weapon shelf are all fake, just used for singing." He meant that he didn't find anything.
Lin Yutong lowered his head, took another look at the mud on his shoes, and then nodded slightly.
Sanlang looked at his feet in confusion, and then at Lin Yutong, what's going on? Is there anything else that he didn't discover?
Before she could figure it out, she saw Dong Cheng coming over with a dozen girls.
"Madam, this is it." Dong Cheng pointed to the girls who were already standing in a row, "They all come from official families, and they joined the teaching workshop because of their family's crimes." It also means that whether it is knowledge or education,
, are no different.
"Raise your head." Lin Yutong looked at the dozen girls and said softly.
There are more than a dozen faces, all of them sixteen or seventeen years old.
Their ripples of light flowed, and then they lowered their heads slightly.
Lin Yutong turned the tea cup in his hand and was silent for a long time before standing up and saying: "Then let them go. From now on, they will be taught by Third Master Yin."
Sanlang thought to himself: This means that he will have to come here to clock in and work every day from now on.
Although he didn't know what she meant, Sanlang vaguely felt that she wanted to ask him to act as a roadblock. If there was really something fishy here, then if he poked here, how could they dare to move?
Lin Yutong stood up and walked out. She had indeed planned to do so. Since she still couldn't find out, she would just keep the person here like this. She couldn't let the person behind it make any further moves.
"Madam, why don't we leave a few guards down to watch? I'm afraid they won't want to, in case they run away again?" Saburo said.
Lin Yutong looked at Dong Cheng, who kept his head down, "It's okay. If they run away, Dong Cheng will be responsible. Besides, this is a good thing for them. Why are they running away? Don't watch. Spending so much food to feed soldiers is not for the purpose of providing training.
The one who stands guard."
Sanlang looked aggrieved, and then stared at Dong Cheng and the girls fiercely, "I heard it all. If I run away, Third Master, I will be unlucky, and you won't be able to feel comfortable. I will be there tomorrow, and I will fight you all.
Stay alert and wait."
After saying that, he went out, jumped on the horse, and followed the chariot.
After entering the mansion and sitting on a chair in the study, Sanlang said: "Madam, those girls just now are not from the Jiaofang Department. They look more like kiln sisters."
Lin Yutong looked up at him, "How did you tell?"
Sanlang laughed mockingly: "Although they know that the lady is noble, they can't change the habit they have developed for a long time. They raised their heads, glanced at the lady hastily, and glanced at me. This kind of teasing men all the time... is not
, it’s the look that seduces people, it can’t deceive people. Even they themselves are not aware of their professional habits.”
Lin Yutong smiled: "You are right. If I guessed correctly, they are the adopted sisters of Huiwen Pavilion. What we saw inside should be specially trained female guards or female assassins. And Huiwen
All the girls raised in the pavilion went to the Jiaofang Division and acted as the singers and dancers of the Jiaofang Division."
Sanlang was stunned: "What about the original person from Jiaofangsi?"
Lin Yutong pointed to the map of the palace: "It is said that these places are haunted at night. You can always hear the cries of women and the laughter of evil spirits."
Saburo understood now, "You mean, they detained all the original members of Jiaofangsi in the secret passage?"
Lin Yutong nodded: "The people in Jiaofangsi now should be protecting the 'evil ghosts' in the secret passage. People can't stay down there all the time. They will definitely come out for activities during the day. Jiaofangsi is not a small place.
Hundreds of people came out in batches for activities, and there was enough time. And..." She lowered her head and looked at Saburo's shoes, "The stone lock only weighs twenty or thirty pounds, but didn't you notice that the whole piece was wet? That means that
, that stone lock is not a weapon at all, it is really used for martial arts training. If the stone lock is filled with water, one weight can reach fifty or sixty kilograms. I counted the stone locks, there are sixty in total."
"I see. You let me go to the Jiaofang Division to block those people in the secret passage and not let them come out for the time being?" Saburo asked.
Lin Yutong smiled: "What? Are you scared?"
Isn't this nonsense? Those who dare to venture to the capital are all desperadoes. If you become a roadblock for others and make them angry, you will be crushed to pieces?
Lin Yutong shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't take risks with you. I'm just asking you to delay for the time being to buy me some time and ask me to find out why these people came to the capital?"
Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief: "So, Huiwen Pavilion and Jiaofangsi are all in the same group. How about sealing up Huiwen Pavilion?"
"I don't even know how many people they have sneaked in and what they came to the capital for. If we can't kill them all, I really don't dare to think about what the consequences will be." Lin Yutong glanced at Sanlang: "Besides.
, this is probably related to Fourth Master's attack on the northwest, I can't be too cautious."
Sanlang was silent for a long time and then said: "To capture the thief, we must first capture the king. We still have to find the leader. It won't be King Zhao or Zhao Hanshan who will come in person, right?"
Lin Yutong also smiled, "I also want to know who this person is? What do they want to do?" Thinking of this, she couldn't help scratching her head, "Based on the number of people, three hundred to five hundred people, they will die. But these three to five hundred people
What can people do in the capital? And what can they do? We have stationed 20,000 men, and three to five hundred men are not enough to scratch the itch."
Sanlang curled up the corner of his mouth and muttered in a low voice: "Three to five hundred people can do a lot. If there is a rebellion, this capital city can be razed to the ground..."
"What did you say?" Lin Yutong looked at Sanlang suddenly.
"**...it's not...it's...gunpowder..." Sanlang didn't expect that Lin Yutong heard it, so he quickly explained.
Lin Yutong stood up all of a sudden. This really hit a blind spot in his thinking. I have always considered myself a modern person, and always felt that today's weapons are cold weapons. But people also have artillery. So using gunpowder... is not impossible.
If that were the case, three to five hundred people would be enough!
