Chapter 842 Lin Fengyuan's Foresight (2)

Zhong Shantong was waiting outside the house, and began to hear voices, but after a while, there was no sound inside. After waiting for a while, there was still no sound inside, Zhong Shantong was a little uneasy, and called out: "Master."

Tie Kui replied, "Nothing."

Lin Fengyuan had to admit that Tie Kui's temperament is really not something ordinary people can have: "A few days ago, I secretly checked the files from 30 years ago. I found that 30 years ago, there were a total of nine families who were sent to Liaodong. Among them, three families arrived in Tongcheng, and the other six families all died on the way. Interestingly, the Ning family, the mother's family of Princess Ming, was also among them."

Tie Kui's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "You don't want to say that I have a close relationship with Princess Ming, so I dare not restore my real background?"

Lin Fengyuan lifted his robe and said, "Isn't it?" If it were the other five families, Tie Kui didn't need to hide his background until now. Unless he is from the Ning family, because Yan Wushuang is very suspicious. If they knew that he was the Ning family, not only would they not use him anymore, they would even get rid of him.

Tie Kui sneered and said: "In this case, why don't you tell the emperor that I am from the Ning family and let the emperor arrest me?"

Lin Fengyuan said: "Tell the emperor about these things, and let the emperor kill you. Then one day, Princess Ming took my head to worship in front of your grave. How could I do such a stupid thing."

Although there is no definite evidence, Lin Fengyuan already believes that Tie Kui has a relationship with Yu Xi, and they are still very close. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble.

Tie Kui asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do after talking so much?" If Lin Fengyuan told Yan Wushuang these words, he would be 100% dead.

Lin Fengyuan said calmly: "In less than five years, King Ming will lead his troops into the capital. And I don't want to be cannon fodder." The main reason is that Lin Fengyuan's defection to Yan Wushuang was forced by the situation, and he was not sincerely willing to work for him.

Tie Kui didn't believe Lin Fengyuan: "I heard that your master and younger brothers and sisters are all trusted and valued by Princess Ming. You have a way to seek refuge with Princess Ming, so why slander me."

Lin Fengyuan smiled bitterly and said: "You should know Yan Wushuang's temperament better than I do. Don't say that I contacted them, even if I show this intention a little bit, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the sun the next day." There are a lot of people around him, so that he dare not act rashly.

When Gu Jiu persuaded him to join Yun Qing and Han Yuxi, he didn't go because he didn't think highly of these two, but he didn't expect that these two would occupy more than half of the country in just a few years. It is a pity that the opportunity has been missed, and it is too late to regret.

Tie Kui looked at Lin Fengyuan with a complicated expression, but he didn't answer his words. Knowing in his heart was one thing, but saying it was another.

Lin Fengyuan was not surprised by Tie Kui's attitude: "I have already killed Li Wangcai, so I have saved you from future troubles."

Tie Kui knew that it was pointless to deny it, but it was impossible for him to admit it: "Such a disaster, there will be more than one death." Even if Lin Fengyuan didn't kill Li Wangcai, he would send someone to deal with him.

Lin Fengyuan knew that it was impossible to say a certain word from Tie Kui, and if he was such a reckless person, he would not be able to hide Yan Wushuang's words for more than ten years. Lin Fengyuan confessed his secrets: "I came here this time to ask General Tie to give Princess Ming a word, and I hope she will give me a chance." Not only did he want to live by himself, but he also wanted to let the following brothers follow him through life and death. live.

Tie Kui looked at Lin Fengyuan, and asked an irrelevant question: "I don't know why General Lin hasn't married yet?" Lin Fengyuan is already in his thirties this year, and anyone who gets married early will be a grandfather at this age , but Lin Fengyuan hasn't married yet.

Lin Fengyuan said: "I don't want my wife and children to be the fetters that Yan Wushuang can restrain me." Dingguo's mansion has long since declined,

It's too late for them to hold on to Lin Fengyuan, so how dare they meddle in his affairs. However, Lin Fengyuan didn't want to continue the incense and he had concerns in his heart, so he hasn't gotten married until now.

Tie Kui took a deep look at Lin Fengyuan, and asked a question: "I don't know what kind of food General Lin likes to eat? I'll let the kitchen prepare it. Let's have a good drink at noon today." Lin Fengyuan is also a talent, and now he intends to join him It would be unwise to go out.

Although he didn't get a definite answer, Lin Fengyuan knew that Tie Kui agreed. At this point, Lin Fengyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Tie Kui refused to admit it, he would not have withdrawn: "I'm not picky, I'll eat anything."

At noon, the two drank a small jar of wine, and they talked happily at the wine table. Of course, what was discussed at the wine table was all about Lin Fengyuan's partnership to do business together.

After sending Lin Fengyuan away, Tie Kui went back to rest in the inner room of the study. Only now did Zhong Shantong ask: "Master, Lin Fengyuan really came to discuss business?" I always felt that the atmosphere in the study just now did not seem to be discussing business.

Although Zhong Shantong is a confidant, there are some things that Tie Kui does not want him to know too much: "Seeing that I have earned so much money, I am a little jealous, so I want to get involved. Fortunately, I know that General Qiu also has shares, so I beat him up." He retreated and wanted to do other business with me." Qiu Dashan owns 10% of Tie Kui's caravan and shop, but he only takes dividends and does nothing.

Zhong Shantong said: "Master, I always feel that things are not that simple. Master should be careful." He couldn't tell what was wrong, but he felt that this person was very dangerous.

Tie Kui smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't suffer."

Gu Jiu was very anxious and wanted to know the result. However, he also knew that people outside were too talkative, and it was not the place to talk. When the two returned to the mansion, he helped Lin Fengyuan, who was a little drunk, into the bedroom, and then asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Did Tie Kui admit it?" A person can drink half a jar of wine without getting drunk, and the appearance of being slightly drunk just now was just a faux pas.

Lin Fengyuan opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "It's impossible for anyone to admit this kind of thing. But I asked him to bring a message to Princess Ming, and he didn't refuse." If he didn't refuse, he acquiesced.

Gu Jiu couldn't help cursing: "She's really aggrieved." It was better outside the capital, but there were people watching all the time around the capital. This feeling is really bad to the extreme.

Lin Fengyuan smiled wryly and said: "It's only my fault that I didn't listen to your persuasion that day." If he had defected to Yunqing back then, he wouldn't have to be so cautious. It's a pity that he wanted revenge at the time, and he was not optimistic about Yunqing, so he missed the opportunity in vain.

Because of Yan Wushuang's suspiciousness, not only Lin Fengyuan, but also many other generals acted cautiously, fearing that they would catch Yan Wushuang's eyes and cause death. It's good that the emperor is more suspicious when the world is peaceful, but Yan Wushuang's suspicion in this period has planted a big hidden danger.

Gu Jiu shook his head. At that time, he said that he did not think carefully about going to Yunqing, but felt that Master Yang and the others would be taken care of when they went to Yunqing in the northwest, "It's not too late now."

Lin Fengyuan shook his head and said: "If I defected to the past more than ten years ago, my brothers and I would have a good future." The difference is huge.

Gu Jiu said: "No one is a fortune teller, he can pinch and count." If you miss it, you will miss it, and regretting is useless.

Lin Fengyuan sighed: "Yes! This is something no one can calculate."

Tie Kui and Lin Fengyuan quickly spread the news of the drinking and talking to Yan Wushuang. Yan Wushuang frowned and said, "Since when did Lin Fengyuan and Tie Kui have such a good relationship?" As far as he knew, the two basically didn't move around on weekdays.

Meng Nian said: "Tie Kui's Dasheng Firm is fighting for money with shops in Japan. Lin Fengyuan is desperate for money, so he wants to do business. This time, he is looking for Tie Kui, because he wants to do business with Tie Kui." The reason why Lin Fengyuan Money is tight because he has used all his money to support the wounded soldiers in Tongcheng.

Yun Qing climbed up from the bottom, well aware of the difficulty of ordinary soldiers, and often nags Yu Xi about this matter. Yuxi also felt that these people should be arranged well, so that the soldiers would not have to worry about the future, and after discussing with Tan Tuo and others, they formulated some preferential policies. Afterwards, the government not only paid pensions to those wounded soldiers, but also arranged for some of them to work in the Yamen. Those who could not arrange errands to go home to farm could be exempted from taxes for six years. Because of these preferential policies, the cohesion of officers and soldiers in the Northwest is very strong. And the imperial court didn't say that it arranged errands to exempt from taxes, but that the pensions were not paid in place.

Yan Wushuang was silent for a while and said: "Tie Kui has a good way of making money." With just a caravan and a few shops, nearly one million silver can be credited into the account a year, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Meng Nian said: "That's true. However, although Tie Kui is rich, he is very forthright. Everyone who works with him makes a lot of money." Even the generals in those places who gave convenience also got a lot of benefits. So even though many people were jealous, no one dared to touch Tie Kui. If he is moved, the interests of too many people will be damaged.

Yan Wushuang said: "Hei Ying doesn't even know the identity of Cheetah, this person is hiding it really deep enough."

The topic jumped too fast, but Meng Nian was used to it: "I'm afraid only Falcon knows his identity." The existence of cheetahs has always been a heart disease for both master and servant. It's a pity that after more than ten years of investigation, the identity of this person has not been found out.

Seeing Yan Wushuang's frown, Meng Nian said with some self-reproach: "We have searched all the places where the falcon can hide, but we can't find any trace." Black Eagle provided several places for the falcon to live, but unfortunately their people I missed it.

Yan Wushuang didn't blame Falcon: "This man was born as a scout, he is extremely alert, and he will hide when there is a sign of trouble. It is not so easy to catch him." If it was easy, there would be no need to wait until now.

The next day Yan Wushuang summoned Lin Fengyuan and talked with him about Liaodong. After talking about the business, Yan Wushuang said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, Lin Aiqing will be thirty-three this year."

Lin Fengyuan's heart sank, but he responded respectfully: "Your Majesty remembers correctly, at the end of this year there will be three in thirty."

[UU Reading 00ks] Yan Wushuang touched the head of the sapphire Pixiu on the imperial case, and said: "Get married and start a business, Lin Aiqing is also successful in her career now, so it's time to consider getting married. If Lin Aiqing doesn't like someone, I will let the noble concubine give it to Aiqing." Pick a good girl." This means that a marriage is ready.

Lin Fengyuan has always been a person who is aware of current affairs, and immediately knelt on the ground to thank: "The last general thank you for your kindness."

Yan Wushuang was very satisfied with Lin Fengyuan's attitude: "Then prepare well, and when the person is selected, I will ask Si Tianjian to select Huang Daoji."

When leaving the palace, Lin Fengyuan's face was full of joy. But when he got home and entered the room, his face immediately sank.

Gu Jiu asked cautiously: "General, what's the matter? Did the emperor mess with us again?" Because Lin Fengyuan was not Yan Wushuang's confidant, his supplies and support were worse than those of Qiu Dashan and others. Gu Jiu had already complained about this.

Lin Fengyuan shook his head and said: "The emperor asked me to start a family. When he heard that I didn't have a favorite candidate, he asked the noble concubine to choose one from the ladies in the capital." Yan Wushuang was very suspicious. If he said there was a favorite candidate, he would definitely Will get to the bottom of it. In order to avoid trouble, he also told the truth.

Gu Jiu felt that Yan Wushuang was really lenient: "So this thing can't be avoided?"

Lin Fengyuan nodded: "If you marry, marry him! If you can agree with me, I will treat him well; if you don't agree with me, marry him and go home as a decoration."

Gu Jiu thought for a while and said, "Since the emperor let you get married, does that mean that the general will stay in the capital?"

Lin Fengyuan shook his head and said, "That tone doesn't sound like it. And if you really want to keep me in the capital, it's impossible that there's no movement until now. I'm afraid I'm going to be transferred outside." Working outside is more comfortable than working in the capital.

Yuchen received Yan Wushuang's order, and immediately issued a decree, inviting the wives of officials of the third rank and above from the capital to the palace to participate in the flower viewing banquet. Of course, the purpose of viewing flowers is also revealed. Those who have this intention will naturally bring their girls of the right age to the banquet, and those who do not have this intention will find reasons not to come.

Lu Yao also accepted the order to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers. Han Jiancheng's two daughters are not yet at the age of marriage, but Yuchen wants them to enter the palace to walk around more, increase their knowledge and broaden their communication. Since becoming a noble concubine, Yuchen has also been quite respectful to her natal family.

Honghua got the news and said to Yurong: "Master, uncle and wife are looking for someone to cut clothes again!"

Yurong smiled and said: "The third sister rewarded them with a lot of good things, and Mrs. Lu doesn't have to worry about not having good materials to make clothes." Every time Mrs. Lu takes her two daughters into the palace, she always brings jewelry and silk when she comes back return. These are all rewarded by Yuchen. Of course, Yurong's part was also missing, but Yurong didn't use these silks and satins to make clothes.

Hong Hua said: "Master, in fact, you should go out and walk around more." Even if you don't go to the empress's banquet, you can't just stay in the yard all day long, go out to socialize, and your mind will be more open.

Yu Rong shook her head and said, "I'm not interested in that."

While talking, Hongyin came in from the outside, and said to Yurong: "Master, the old lady of the Lu family is here again." In the past, every time the old lady Lu came to the house, she would lose money, but since Han Jiancheng let go, Lu's family has never stopped. Dare to blatantly subsidize her natal family again.

Yu Rong said indifferently: "Come here." Since the incident last time, the relationship between Yu Rong and Lu Shi has become very bad. Yurong wanted to move out several times, but was blocked by Han Jiancheng. (to be continued)
