Qiao Mingtang, governor of Xishan Road, was summoned by Xu Congyang early in the morning, cleaned up, and immediately came to Xingyuan, knowing in his heart that Xu Congyang most likely wanted to kill criminals tomorrow.

He came to Xingyuan in a hurry, someone notified him, and soon he came to Xu Congyang's courtyard. Before he entered the house, he heard a burst of laughter from inside. Xu Congyang seemed to be talking to someone.

Qiao Mingtang straightened his clothes, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Qiao Mingtang, pays his respects to the Grand Scholar."

Xu Congyang's voice came from inside the room: "Ah, it's Master Qiao, come in quickly."

Only then did Qiao Mingtang step up and enter the lobby, but he saw Xu Congyang sitting on a chair drinking tea, and on the chair next to him, there was an even person sitting.

When Qiao Mingtang saw that person, he felt an uncomfortable feeling in his body, not because he knew him, but that person's appearance was really weird.

The man was dressed in casual clothes, wearing an ordinary-looking hat, the color was like ink, but under the ink-colored hat, there was a face that people would never forget after just one glance.

This man's face is long and thin, but as white as snow, it is a kind of bloodless white, a kind of white that makes people feel sick. Qiao Mingtang has seen many beauties, and Mrs. Qiao is a first-class beauty. Fair complexion, crystal clear as snow.

Mrs. Qiao's face is whiter, and her body is even fairer. Qiao Mingtang has always loved Mrs. Qiao's deceitful skin, but the complexion on this person's face is even whiter than Mrs. Qiao's body. A layer of pure white snow.

What's even more strange is that this person has no eyebrows above his eyes, not even a stray hair, just like a newborn baby, his face even shows blue veins under the skin, the whole appearance is very strange.

This is a face that people can't forget at first glance, but the strange thing is that once they close their eyes, anyone will only remember the pale face, but not this featureless appearance. This is a very contradictory things, but it happened to appear on this person in front of him.

He had a smile on his face, as if he was chatting happily with Xu Congyang, but that faint smile couldn't conceal the chill emanating from him.

That chill seemed to emanate from every pore of this person, and it seemed that this person was born with this chill.

Although Qiao Mingtang was surprised in his heart, his face was still very calm, he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Graduate scholar!"

Xu Congyang had already smiled and said: "Master Qiao, sit down and talk." After Qiao Mingtang sat down and the servants served tea, Xu Congyang introduced to the strange man: "Lin Qianhu, this is the governor of Xishan Road, Mr. Qiao Mingtang."

The weird man nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I heard about the name earlier, Governor Qiao governed one side, with outstanding achievements and a great reputation."

Seeing that this person was able to sit on an equal footing with Xu Congyang, Qiao Mingtang knew that this person's status must not be low, but he couldn't think of any important minister in the court who had such an appearance.

From this person's appearance, his age could not be seen at all.

Xu Congyang obviously also saw Qiao Mingtang's doubts, and said with a smile, "Lord Qiao, this is Shenyiwei Qianhu Lin Binglin Qianhu."

Qiao Mingtang was startled, and lost his voice: "Could it be Lin Qianhu of Xuanwu Vientiane?"

The weird Lin Bin laughed and said, "I never thought Master Qiao would know me, Xuanwu Lin Bing, what an honor!"

Qiao Mingtang was really taken aback.

Shenyiwei is the most mysterious yamen in the Qin Dynasty, and it is not under the jurisdiction of any yamen. Officials from the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu have no right to interfere with Shenyiwei. Shenyiwei only obeys the emperor's order.

No one knows exactly how many officials there are in Shenyiwei, but many people also know that Shenyiwei's heart is in the Bailou, and in Shenyiwei, there are four thousand households of Qinglong Baihu Xuanwu Suzaku. People are amazing people, Shenlong sees its head but doesn't see its end, although people know its name, but there are only a handful of people who have seen it.

Qiao Mingtang, a governor, has a very deep background, so he knows a little about Shenyiwei.

The blue dragon is like a ghost, and the white tiger is like a spear;

This is a joke that few people know and almost no one knows its meaning. When Qiao Mingtang heard that this person was Lin Bing, he immediately popped out the word "Xuanwu Wanxiang".

He used to know that Shenyiwei Xuanwu Qianhu seemed to be named Lin, but he didn't know his real name. Only now did he know that it was called Lin Bing.

Hearing Lin Bing's claim of being honored, Qiao Mingtang hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare, I don't know that Lin Qianhu is here, and I haven't been able to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, please forgive me."

Shenyiwei Qianhu, in terms of position, is not comparable to a governor, let alone a grand scholar in front of the palace, but even a first-rank official in the court, he will not feel that Shenyiwei Qianhu is inferior to himself.

It is understandable that Lin Bing can sit on an equal footing with Xu Congyang.

Lin Bing smiled faintly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said straight to the point: "Lin was away from Beijing on business, happened to pass by Yunshan Mansion, and learned that Master Xu was here, so he came to pay a visit, but he didn't dare to disturb Master Qiao. "

"Where is it?" Qiao Mingtang laughed hurriedly.

Xu Congyang said: "Master Qiao, since Master Lin is here this time, naturally he can't be let go like this. For tomorrow's big event, Master Lin will always help."

Lin Bing had already smiled and said: "Scholar, you are welcome. If there is an order from the university, Lin will help him with all his strength." Looking at Qiao Mingtang, he asked: "Master Qiao, the scholar has already briefly explained to Lin about tomorrow's matter." for a moment."

Qiao Mingtang nodded and said, "Yes."

"I heard that you are going to lead the snake out of the cave?" Lin Bing asked.

Qiao Mingtang glanced at Xu Congyang, and Xu Congyang nodded slightly, obviously meaning to let himself go ahead and said solemnly: "Lin Qianhu, the Tongzhou rebels have hidden a large number of weapons. Although the weapons were seized, the rebels have all absconded. Here Before, Jiannei was also hijacked by rebellious parties. This official judged that the rebellious party who hid weapons and the rebellious party who hijacked Jiani are likely to be the same group. And I also discussed with the academicians. The party seems to have accomplices in our hands, and they seem to be very important to them, so this official discussed the strategy with the bachelor, and planned to use heavy prisoners to lure the rebel party into the bait, and then catch them all."

Lin Bing nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and asked: "I heard that you haven't found out who is the accomplice of the gang?"

Qiao Mingtang sighed: "I'm really ashamed. Among the heavy prisoners, there are still more than a dozen people whose identities cannot be confirmed. Although various criminal methods have been used, it is difficult to pry their mouths open."

Lin Bing smiled and said: "In fact, as long as you are a human being, you are a body of flesh and blood, and a flesh and blood body will have weaknesses. In Lin's view, there is hardly a mouth in this world that cannot be pried open."

Qiao Mingtang said with a smile: "Lin Qianhu was born in Shenyiwei, so there is a way."

Lin Bingdao: "In everything, knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to be sure of winning. Mr. Qiao's method of luring the snake out of the hole this time is a clever plan, but I don't know who is the person that the rebellious party wants. After all, there are still some gaps."

Qiao Mingtang didn't refute, but just said: "But I don't know what good idea Lin Qianhu has?"

Lin Bing said with a smile: "If it is true as Mr. Qiao said, there are repeat offenders in hand, and they are important figures needed by that group of rebellious parties, then it is a great treasure. If such a treasure cannot be used to its maximum value, That would be too extortionate."

Qiao Mingtang felt that Lin Bing's words were weird. Although he was a very smart person, he couldn't figure out what Lin Bing meant for a while.

Xu Congyang stroked his white beard lightly, and said, "Lin Qianhu, Xishan Road is the first road to enter Xigu Pass. Now that there are Xiliang troops in Guanxi aggressively, there must be no mistakes in Guanxi Road. The case of Tongzhou has already exposed There are rebels in Xishan Dao Zang, if we can't kill their vigor, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lin Bing nodded and said: "What the scholar said is true. Lin also felt that since he wanted to do something, he had to use all available conditions. It is not enough to only hurt the skin. If you want to hit them, you have to hit their hearts." With cold eyes, he looked at Qiao Mingtang and said, "Master Qiao, where are those ten or so rebels who can't pry their mouths?"

"It's in the heavy prison, guarded by heavy soldiers."

Lin Bing nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, I would like to trouble Mrs. Qiao to take Lin Mou there, Lin Mou would like to see how tight their mouths are."

Qiao Mingtang got up and nodded, and then asked Xu Congyang: "Great scholar, so tomorrow...?"

"Everything is as usual." Lin Bing took the lead and said with a smile: "Since we can lure the snake out of the hole, why let this good opportunity go?"

……

Chu Huan didn't go to Xingyuan today. After returning from Mao County, Ying Ren asked Chu Huan to rest for a day or two, and Chu Huan was naturally happy to have a good rest, and he didn't wake up too late in the morning.

It's just that he felt that Su Niang's attitude was a little strange today. Every time he looked at him, Su Niang's eyes had a weird look, not cold to say the least, but that weird look made Chu Huan feel a little hairy.

He had breakfast and talked to his mother for a while. Although the doctor had seen Chu Lishi and there was no disease on his body, Chu Huan still felt that his mother's spirit seemed to have deteriorated a lot, and he was a little worried.

After he came back yesterday, he didn't go to the Su Mansion. He knew that Lin Lang must be very busy these days, and every time Su Niang walked past him, she would occasionally glance at him with weird eyes, which made Chu Huan happy Feeling apprehensive, he left the house early and went to Linlang Mansion.

When they arrived at the Su Mansion, Lin Lang and Su Bo were out of the mansion, and they both went out to do errands. Chu Huan had nothing to do, so he went to the courtyard of the nursing home to teach the nursing home some boxing skills.

At noon, I heard that Lin Lang was back. When I went to the lobby, I saw Lin Lang was talking with Suber. Seeing Chu Huan coming, Lin Lang immediately showed a smile, and hurriedly asked Chu Huan where he was going these days. He didn't know what happened to Zhongyizhuang, but only said that he went out to do some small errands. When Lin Lang saw the scratch on the back of Chu Huan's hand, he felt very distressed, and hurriedly asked why. Chu Huan said that he was scratched by a thorn. He fetched the medicine again, and when they all retreated, he personally applied the medicine for Chu Huan, very considerate.

Chu Huan felt warm in her heart, and asked, "How is the matter with Shengquan?"

Speaking of He Shengquan, Lin Lang was overjoyed, and said, "The formalities for imperial wine have been settled with the Hubu Division, and the Hubu Division will supply food soon, so don't worry about that. Subo and I went to see the winery yesterday. Several wineries want to cooperate with us and Shengquan. I always have to check how much food they have. And I have to choose the location for the winery... Yes, the winery needs to be expanded, and there are insufficient staff. Recruit some guys, this matter is about to be handled by Suber."

Chu Huan thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I need your help with something, but I don't know if the boss is willing to help?"

Lin Lang tapped Chu Huan's shoulder lightly with her small pink fist, bit her red lips, and said softly, "What you want me to do, I... I'm naturally willing to do it, how can I help?"

Chu Huan was overjoyed, and wanted to hug Linlang's small waist again. Linlang had been prepared for a long time, twisted her waist, and had already avoided it. She covered her rosy mouth and pointed to the door, her beautiful eyes were flowing, very charming: "Blue sky, white sun, It makes people look bad."

Chu Huan chuckled, and then said sternly: "Your winery needs people, and our Liujia Village has a lot of labor. Some fields are scarce and only enough to make ends meet. See if you can let Su Bo go to Liujia Village first, and find some people from there. I think the folks should be happy to work in the winery."

Lin Lang thought for a while, and said, "I wanted to find some skilled distillery workers, but since you asked, let Su Bo go to Liujia Village to find people first, let them teach them first, and get started slowly."

Chu Huan said happily, "That's great. Lin Lang, you are the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, so the people in Liujia Village will definitely remember your kindness."

Lin Lang smiled sweetly, charming and charming, and said deliberately: "They remember my kindness, but you don't remember my kindness?"

Chu Huan couldn't help stretching out his hand to pull Linlang, and said with a smile, "In my heart, Linlang is naturally the best."

Lin Lang felt a burst of sweetness in her heart, and suddenly seeing Chu Huan's brows became serious, she couldn't help but softly said, "What's wrong with you?"

Chu Huan looked at Lin Lang, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Lin Lang, I...I might be going to the capital!"
