"There really is... there is... there is... gunpowder!" Saburo seemed to be frightened, and he stuttered a bit when he spoke.
Lin Yutong rolled his eyes at Sanlang: "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I really wouldn't have thought about this."
Saburo swallowed hard, and he was a little scared. He didn't even understand what the world looked like, and he dared to rebel. If he hadn't chosen to cooperate with Shiro, he wouldn't dare to think about the consequences. He couldn't help but
asked: "Zhao Hanshan also has gunpowder?"
Lin Yutong nodded, "Of course. But the equipment is also limited, two hundred red cannons..."
"Then if we don't have it, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage...I'm telling you, this thing is scary." Saburo stood up quickly, sweating on his head.
Lin Yutong waved his hand, "He has it, and so do we. You don't have to worry about this."
Sanlang opened his mouth and said: "I saw it on the day of the expedition, and there was nothing..."
Lin Yutong rolled his eyes, and Sanlang shut up instantly.
That's right! It's impossible to reveal all your trump cards and let the enemy figure them out.
"You should know what can and cannot be said." Lin Yutong glanced at Sanlang.
"I promise..." Sanlang raised his right hand, "I swear to Mao... that I will never say anything I shouldn't say."
Lin Yutong waved his hand, "That's alright. You go and do your work."
Sanlang responded, and as soon as he turned around, he seemed to think of something and said: "Madam, are these people from the military?"
Lin Yutong raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
"I have been in the army for three years, sows compete with Diaochan." Saburo chuckled: "There are quite a few women in the Jiaofang Division. If the ghosts were to cause trouble all night long, it would be just this group of beasts..." As he said that, suddenly
Realizing that he couldn't speak so openly in front of Lin Yutong, he quickly cupped his hands and rushed out.
Lin Yutong snorted and immediately retracted his thoughts. If we follow this line of thinking, these people entered the city in order to use gunpowder to inflict heavy damage to the garrison in the capital. Even if they could not get close to the garrison, as long as they targeted civilians in the city, it would still cause
Panic and panic.
This matter is really tricky.
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead and she forced herself to calm down.
If you were the one performing the task, what would you do?
To complete the mission, there must be two prerequisites. One is that the gunpowder can be transported in smoothly, and the other is that the people performing the mission can sneak in.
Now that people have sneaked in, does that mean that gunpowder has also entered the capital?
But both conditions were met, so why didn't we take any action and instead asked the people who were lurking in to hide?
Can it be considered that they have not been able to get close to the military camp yet?
If this is the case, what should you do now? First of all, you have to give these people some hope and make them think that there is a chance to get close to the military camp. The provincial government is so anxious that they can fire artillery at will in the capital. Wait for the person who arranged it to take action.
After they hung it, they searched for the whereabouts of the gunpowder.
She thought about it carefully and called for Brother Lin.
The second brother Lin is in the Tiduo Department and is busy every day without touching the ground. The fourth master secretly arranged for the Lin family brothers and the Yin family eldest son to purchase wood and other materials. This is to prepare for shipbuilding. Sooner or later, there will be a war between the north and the south.
Crossing the river is a big problem.
Therefore, when Brother Lin was called in, there was still sweat on his head.
"Second brother, take a break first." Lin Yutong personally held the tea and handed it over.
Brother Lin took it and drank it in one sip, "It's better to drink plain water and enjoy it. Tell me, what's the matter? I see you've been hanging out a lot lately, what's the matter? There's unrest on the streets again?"
Lin Yutong nodded: "I came to my second brother for this matter. Is there any clever boy in the clan who happens to be working in the city defense camp?"
Second brother Lin frowned and thought for a long time before saying: "Well... the juniors don't have any. Only the seventh uncle is in the north of the city..."
"Uncle Seven?" Lin Yutong frowned. In the original owner's impression, there seemed to be no such person.
"It's normal that you don't remember." Brother Lin waved his hand, "He escaped when he was a teenager because he injured someone. He has been floating outside for so many years. You only came back two days before you got married. Who knew
As soon as I came back, we happened to encounter a flood again..."
Lin Yutong gritted his teeth: "Second brother, I want to find someone who is absolutely reliable..."
The implication is to ask Brother Lin if this person can make people feel at ease. After all, he has not been in his hometown for so many years and he doesn’t know anything about it.
Brother Lin waved his hand instead: "Don't worry too much. If you can't trust this person, who else can you trust? There is an obvious difference between him and other people. He has drifted in the rivers and lakes, has seen life and death, and will not get confused. Moreover,
Be loyal! He was injured in a fight, and his father secretly treated him. Before leaving, he gave him clothes and money. When you got married, he gave you a gold hairpin to add makeup. Mom helped you
Keep it. Of course, you don’t care about it now."
Lin Yutong pursed his lips and said: "Then wait until night, and the second brother will secretly bring him here, and I will see him."
Brother Lin didn't ask much, "Okay! Come back in the evening."
"Avoid people." Lin Yutong warned again.
Brother Lin stood up and walked out: "Your brother, I am not stupid."
After Brother Lin left, Aunt Su came in and said, "Master, let's eat. You can't bear this."
Lin Yutong nodded, ate in a hurry, fell on the couch and fell asleep.
Aunt Su quietly covered Lin Yutong with the quilt, and then stayed by the side to do needlework.
It was already dark when I woke up. Lin Yutong rubbed his head: "Prepare more vegetables for Mr. Fan and Mr. Lu. I'm afraid I can't take care of these two gentlemen recently. There are so many things to deal with in this half-hearted world.
Without their help, I would be exhausted and couldn’t finish the job.”
"Madam, you should also learn from Fourth Master. I have never seen Fourth Master handle these trivial matters personally." Aunt Su handed over the honey water and said with a smile.
"I don't have the ability like you." Lin Yutong shook his head. There is also something special about employing people. The fourth master can handle people well, but he still needs some heat. She didn't explain much: "Pass the word and ask Hei Qi to come."
Aunt Su quickly responded, turned around and went out. When she came back, she had a food box in her hand.
After Lin Yutong ate, he spent another hour looking at the notes handed over to him for approval, and then Lin Er Ge and Lin Jimin arrived.
"Uncle Qi, sit down." Lin Yutong stood up, gave up his seat, and served the tea himself.
Lin Jimin was in his twenties, with an obvious scar on his face, which added a bit of ferocity to his handsome appearance. He took the tea politely and said, "Thank you, Madam."
Second brother Lin shook his head: "Uncle Qi, in front of outsiders, you call her madam and that's it. Let's just close the door and call Niuniu."
"You should call me Tongtong." Lin Yutong rolled his eyes at the second brother Lin, "The name Niuniu... is not suitable for me to use now. When I am 70 or 80 years old, you will call me Niuniu again?"
The corners of Lin Jimin's lips curled up and he nodded, but he had no intention of changing his words, "From now on, there will always be distinctions between superiority and inferiority. Let's call you Madam. Did you ask me to come here this time because you have something to give me?"
Lin Yutong glanced at Brother Lin, who stood up and said, "Okay! I know your rules. I'm waiting for Uncle Qi next door. You guys can talk."
Lin Jimin raised his eyebrows. This niece was indeed an extraordinary person as rumored outside. Even if she is a close relative, she will not compromise at all when facing the bottom line. This is not easy.
When Lin Yutong saw that Brother Lin had gone out, he looked at Lin Jimin seriously: "Uncle Qi, I came to you this time. Ultimately, I want to find someone who is trustworthy and courageous. Because the matter is very important."
Lin Jimin sat upright: "Madam, please speak."
Lin Yutong whispered: "There are spies in the capital. They may use gunpowder to blow up the military camp. But because our protective measures are in place, they have not found a chance so far. I hope you can hang them out."
"Fishing it out?" Lin Jimin looked thoughtful, "How to fish it?"
"If you want to coerce people, there are only two ways. One is coercion, and the other is inducement." Lin Yutong stretched out two fingers, "Coercion? This is impossible. Because the families of all the soldiers in the city defense camp have returned to the mansion.
The house managers are all registered. Those who can arrange errands have their errands, and the children have gone to school. Even if there are some left behind, the patrol team on this street has to check twice a day to confirm whether there is anyone at home. So
, if you want to use family members to threaten you, this will basically not work."
Lin Jimin was stunned. He didn't know before that the Internal Affairs Bureau was so strict in managing family members. Now he understands that this is not only surveillance, but also a kind of protection. When a woman does not go to work, there is a person responsible for recording. When the child does not go to school, there is a husband.
Inquiry. All records of the day must be compiled. This basically closes all the loopholes. Using threats from family members is very risky.
Seeing that Lin Jimin understood, Lin Yutong continued: "The only thing left is inducement."
"I understand." Lin Jimin nodded, "Don't worry, I understand what to do."
Lin Yutong nodded, clapped his hands, and followed Hei Qi outside the door. She then said: "He will send someone to contact you secretly."
The two nodded. They knew each other since they both lived in the back street.
After Lin Jimin left, Lin Yutong ordered Hei Qi: "Bring me the entry and exit records of each city gate in the past two months. Especially the records from the past two months, there must be no mistakes. I want to take a look."
Hei Qi didn't bring the record book to Lin Yutong until Zizi.
"Call Cheng Feng to come and help me." Lin Yutong looked at the two large boxes, feeling a little dizzy.
Cheng Feng was sleeping dazedly when he was carried and thrown into the study. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Madam, whose account is being checked? Who is corrupt again?"
Lin Yutong waved his hand: "No. Help me look through it and find out for me all the merchants who entered the capital to sell fireworks and firecrackers before and after."
She squinted her eyes. King Zhao had chosen this time really well. It was just the Chinese New Year, and the sound and smell of firecrackers were everywhere. This was the best cover.
