Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 1652 Wizard
Hearing his wife's warm words of comfort, Lin Ming felt a little relieved.However, this matter cannot be let her know - although my wife can be called capable and capable, she is just a woman after all.Knowing the truth, besides worrying like myself, what other tricks can I have?Besides, she is no better than the concubines - she is also from the Jin Yiwei family, knowing this matter may be even more worrying.

He had no choice but to force a laugh: "It's nothing, I just went out for a long time, I was really tired, and I couldn't get Qianqian back, I felt a little guilty... I also want to understand, I can only do my best and listen to the destiny."

"It's good that Xianggong thinks so." Mrs. Lin was very thoughtful, seeing that although he said "see it", the worry on his brows remained undiminished, knowing that this advice was not on point, she was secretly suspicious.But she didn't know how to start the conversation again, but at this moment Lin Ming suddenly asked:
"My lady, what do you think of this world?"

The lady of the Lin family is such an intelligent person, she felt bad when she heard this, she whispered: "Husband, what are you talking about?! Be careful not to be overheard..."

"This is the inner house, who else would listen to it except her?" Lin Ming smiled wryly and looked at Bibo who was sleeping soundly—this girl is really carefree.

"It doesn't matter if she hears it." Mrs. Lin said, "It's just that these words are meaningless, and people like us should not chew their tongues."

"Let's talk about it."

"The world is not good." Mrs. Lin said, "I heard from my mother's family that the north is full of mourners and rioters. It means that our place and the south of the Yangtze River are still in peace."

"Do you think this world can get better?"

"I don't know." The lady of the Lin family sighed, "Guangdong is still a peaceful and blessed place, we still have to drink tea when we have to drink tea. Don't talk about state affairs—it will be annoying if you talk too much."

Lin Ming could hear from his wife's words that she had a pessimistic view of the world.He suddenly decided to test her opinion of Australians:
"My lady, I'm afraid Guangdong is not a peaceful place!" He deliberately sighed.

"How to say?" The lady of the Lin family suddenly became alert.

"Miss, do you still remember the gangster who rushed into the Pearl River and approached the city of Guangzhou three years ago?"

"Why don't I remember. It was really scary. Martial law everywhere. Artillery troops kept passing by, and even got a group of bandit-like volunteers. Before the bandits came, they made a mess of the place..."

The people in Foshan Town were left with the impression that apart from the appropriation of food and salaries by the government, Chaozhou Yong and Danhu Shuiyong who "assisted in the defense" extorted war money and robbed merchants.As for Kun Zei's face being long and face short, I have no impression at all.The Kun bandits headed straight for Guangzhou. Although the soldiers approached Foshan for a while, they never crossed the border.I heard that in the end, a sum of ransom fee was extorted--of course, this kind of thing is not up to Lin Baihu's family as usual.

"...But after the bandit Kun left, I heard that the place became much quieter. It is said that the Bandit Kun killed many bandits. It was a blessing in disguise."

"I went out this time, and along the way, I saw many Kun thieves and Kun boats, and their power is higher than that of the day." Lin Ming whispered.

"You mean..." The lady of the Lin family came from an official family after all, and she could hear the voice inside, "No way. Aren't they just doing business with Daming like the Frangji people? They are doing business like this today Da Ming, earning money like water. Now the government doesn’t ask questions. Why do you want to fight with Daming? If there is a war, the business will be cut off?"

"It's hard to say!" Lin Ming shook his head, "They're not as contented as Frangji..."

"What if I call you? You are an official of the imperial court!" Mrs. Lin was worried, "Although you won't be asked to go to battle to kill the enemy, in case the bandits want to kill and gain power..."

"In case there is a war, let's hide. After all, I'm just a small Baihu. Do they still think highly of my head?"

"Hey, that's the only way, the big deal is not to be an official." Mrs. Lin said, "As long as our family is reunited and safe." She looked at Bibo with a little affection, "These few Children, all of them are cute, and the riots will be ruined for nothing..."

Lin Ming made up his mind, he was already fully aware of the lady's attitude.As long as she doesn't want to be Daming's loyal minister.

"Then, shall we build a house in Guangzhou first?" Mrs. Lin asked in a low voice, "I'm not afraid that the thieves will come over—I heard that as long as you don't provoke them when they cross the border, Qiu has never committed any crime— —I’m afraid that the scum will take the opportunity to make trouble. There is no city wall in Foshan Town..."

"Don't be busy for now, let's see the situation." Lin Ming said, "They may not call right away." He took a closer look and said, "It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

Lin Baihu’s leisurely life has not been around for many days. Early this morning, he came to the teahouse he was familiar with as usual. Go to the yamen to order a Mao, and the cycle of the day will officially begin.

As usual, his desk is reserved in the teahouse.No need to order, as soon as he was seated, Dr. Tea brought the tea set and slag bucket - these were all for his personal use, and they were stored in the teahouse.Lin Ming slowly picked up the teapot, and first washed the tea set, bowls and chopsticks one by one.Dr. Tea brought tea again.

Lin Ming poured himself a cup of tea by himself, and drank it slowly. After taking a few sips, his eyes suddenly widened.

On the wall opposite to the teahouse, there is a contact mark of the Foreign Intelligence Service!
So fast!he thought to himself.After Lin Ming formally surrendered, his staff was transferred to the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.Li Yan was in charge of the specific use.Li Yan had talked with him, and although he didn't have a formal mission, he knew that once he wanted to use himself, it was definitely not an ordinary thing: with the current power of the Australians, if they wanted to inquire about something around Guangzhou, they didn't need to go out on their own. A lot of money-seeking people are ready to betray their masters at any time.

Now he was not interested in drinking tea, so he ate breakfast in a hurry, went to the institute for a meeting, then met his "instructor" on a flower boat according to the way Li Yan had agreed with him beforehand.

Lin Ming had no idea what an "instructor" was.I saw that the other party was slightly fat, wearing a straight dress of Shandong cocoon silk, and looked like a small businessman who was not very proud.

"See my lord..." Lin Ming looked downcast with fear and sincerity.In order not to give the "Shangguan" a bad impression, it will be miserable if you go back and take eye drops--that's really not human at both ends.

"You're welcome, Comrade Lin." The instructor shook his head, "We are all comrades, and we won't do Daming's tricks."

"Yes, yes, the humble official knows." Lin Ming lowered his head, "I don't know what orders the Shangguan summoned the humble official."

"Ahem," the instructor seemed a little uncomfortable, "Comrade Lin, I told you not to be so official. Well, I'll be straightforward."

"Yes! Sir, please give me instructions." He continued to be respectful.

"You are an aborigine in Foshan, and you are a hundred households of Jinyiwei. You are the old land of Suixi. So this time the center decided to entrust you with the task."

"Yes, thanks to the center's attention, the humble job must go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate."

"Okay, okay," the "instructor" began to sweat. He was indeed a small businessman, and he had been a soldier for several years, and he was a little uncomfortable with the officialdom. "Don't be polite. This task is of great importance, and it is related to the fortune of my Song Dynasty." He said with emphasis, "You must do everything in your power to complete this task."

"Humble job understands!" Now it was Lin Ming's turn to sweat on his brow, it was related to the "Great Song Dynasty's fortune", so it was obviously not a trivial matter to be able to say such a thing.Could it be that he wants to open the gate of Guangzhou by himself to welcome the Australian army into the city?It seems that it is not his turn to do this. As long as Australians are willing to pay, there are not one or two people who want to do this.Besides, Australians have Ziji in the city of Guangzhou, and a big world outside the city. Taking Guangzhou is just a bag.

The other party said that he was a "Foshan native" and "the old land of Suicheng", so the matter probably had something to do with Foshan.

"In a few days, someone will come from Lingao." The instructor assigned the task in a low voice, "After connecting with them, you will be under the command of the visitor. Everything must be obeyed by the other party."

"Yes, I understand." Lin Ming was a little nervous, "I don't know what specific task to do, and I have to prepare in advance."

"Your task is to act as a guide, and you just follow their instructions on the way."

"Guide?"

"Exactly. The superior wants you to lead them along the Xijiang River and Beijiang River. You have been to these places, is there any problem?"

"It's not difficult to be a guide." Lin Ming panicked secretly: Although he didn't know what the other party's intention was to lead the way "for a while", but Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong, and the Australians might attack the locals right before their eyes.He hurriedly reminded himself not to panic, this is a good opportunity for him to make meritorious deeds, and said, "But it will take a lot of time to go out, and the lowly position needs to take a leave of absence in a hundred-household office."

"You arrange it yourself. What do you want to say?"

"Xijiang and Beijiang have been there before. The route is familiar." Lin Ming thought for a while, "It's just that there are a lot of bandits along the river, and there are some lawless tyrants. If only the humble lead them, the road will be scary. It’s hard to guarantee safety, and I think it’s best to use the name of an official for a humble job. Not only can you call the garrison for protection on the road, but you can also have husbands, boats, sedan chairs and horses to support you along the way.”

The instructor pondered for a moment and said: "You have a good idea, but this matter involves the government. I have to ask my superiors for instructions. If it is in the name of the government, what name do you plan to use?"

Lin Ming said with a smile: "There are so many names. It can be used for handling cases or arrests. In short, it's just a mouth in the Hundred Households Office. It's just a matter of writing. It will be convenient for everything when you go out, and you will be prestige along the way."

"It's a very good idea." The instructor also smiled, "Okay, you go and prepare, and I will report to the superior before making a decision."
