Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2660 Capital ([-])
The sound of horseshoes shattered the silence of the morning, and the figures of several knights emerged from the morning mist, heading towards Beijing.

Liao Sanniang walks in front, her body is soft and flexible, she holds the rein in her left hand, her upper body is kept perpendicular to the horse's spine, her body moves gently with the horse's marching, forming a tacit understanding between man and horse.

Liao Sanniang loosened the rein, the weight in her left hand disappeared, and the horse's head and neck drooped, indicating that she gave up control of the horse and let the horse walk leisurely along the road.

Liao Sanniang raised her right hand and touched the upturned collar. There was a little bulge at the corner of the collar. It was a deadly poison that could be bitten by lowering the head. When a woman was captured, she had to face a hundred times more painful torture than a man.The woman who rolled among the swords and guns never regretted death, and her disregard for death stopped the god of death. The blood on the knife head will always belong to others.

Tilting her head slightly, she was in a daze. It had been a day and a half since Master Leng disappeared. Liao Sanniang only slept for a few hours, and spent the rest of the time running around in and out of the city. She spread her hands and contacted several places around the capital The local snakes in the villages and counties beside the main road are mainly servants and slaves from various places. These low-level public officials hold the public power of local police investigation and public security management. There is a lot of energy in the area, and the focus is on checking the horses of Boss Leng. The horses have big targets, many people who have seen them, and are easy to identify. Starting from these, the possibility of making a breakthrough is greater.

Li Rufeng sits in Beijing, manages relations with all parties, and handles blackmail letters and middlemen that may come at any time. In the male society of Daming, people always trust men more.

Liao Sanniang didn't have much hope for the investigation in her heart. In order to claim credit and receive rewards, these folks who were bought by money often lied and falsely reported, and most of the information they provided was useless.From the robber's point of view, the vehicle was abandoned but the horse was reluctant, leaving the biggest clue.But horses are different from carriages, their traffic capacity is much higher, the avenues can go on small roads, and they can also go on wild fields, and there are as many loopholes as meshes. Liao Sanniang, like the assistants, can't do much, but she can't think too much. Nothing.

Since Liao Sanniang came to Beijing, there has been a faint sense of uneasiness. The farther away from Guangzhou, the more seriously the influence of Australia and Song Dynasty has weakened.

The Jingshi Station is the most unique existence among all the overseas assignment stations, and it is also the station with the least color of Australia and Song Dynasty among all the overseas assignment stations.

Jingshi, the political center of Ming Dynasty, is full of eyeliners and factory guards everywhere. All mavericks mean deviant. Once it is out of tune with this city, Jingshi Station will immediately become the most beautiful target.

She didn't go ahead, but detoured around the back alley. After making seven turns, she knocked on a small door in an inconspicuous narrow alley and returned to Delong.

Master Leng would kneel down and kowtow to the elders of the dynasty, but within the capital station, Master Leng was the absolute leader and possessed undeniable authority.He said what he said, and no one dared to question it.

All of Liao Sanniang's pretentiousness is for stability, and people must see that things are moving forward. Until Lingao comes, or the situation changes, Liao Sanniang and Li Rufeng have no way out, they can only persevere.

There are ten great evils in the Law of the Ming Dynasty. The first three are called treason;In addition to the five punishments, there is Lingchi, which is used to punish those who have committed various crimes of great rebellion and immorality.Being in an enemy country, the confusion of the road ahead and the fear of being cut into pieces make people's hearts extremely fragile. The employees of Lingao are full of anxiety and insecurity. Being tied up may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. People's hearts are delicate, and a moment's shake in one's mentality may push everyone into the abyss.

Back in Delong, the gate was deserted, and there was no crowded crowd as expected.But there are seven or eight guarding Shuntian government officials on the street.A notice with the seal of Shuntian Mansion has been pasted on the screen wall.It seems that Wu Kaidi persuaded the government to temporarily seal up the bank.

The greatness of the Senate is not worth showing in front of the natural power of God. Under the simple conditions of security, sanitation and disaster prevention, there have been no accidents of death, disability or disappearance of expatriate veterans in ten years. Although many of the miracles of the Senate’s self-conceit were due to the favor of fate, many problems were temporarily covered by the light of various expatriate achievements under the excitement of consequentialism and personal adventurism.

Li Rufeng smiled wryly, and said: "A certain person is very irritable all his life, he doesn't want to eat vegetarian food and recite Buddhism, he just wants to kill people with anger, but unfortunately there is no trace of the culprit."

The other people who came from Lingao also felt something more or less, and they would whisper to each other in their spare time.

Is it to be completely abolished or completely taken over by indigenous employees?All parties are still studying and deliberating. Liao Sanniang has no right to make irresponsible remarks, nor can she say anything, but she has seen some signs that the capital station is likely to be reduced, or it will be transferred to the underground, Mr. Leng Probably going back to Guangzhou.

Liao Sanniang once heard complaints from other expatriates that if there is only one veteran in an expatriate station, it must be a talkative one, and they will often play some little tricks in which the general is outside and the emperor's order is not accepted.There were some "violations of the regulations" and there was a security incident later.These are all related textbooks.

The tea smoke curled up, and the hot tea made Liao Sanniang's body gradually warm up. Liao Sanniang looked at Li Rufeng through the tea smoke, and found that this man who was always full of energy seemed to be a little sluggish.

He is very easy-going, and often jokes with the employees from Lingao. Master Leng once said to Liao Sanniang when he joked about the expatriate veterans: The Senate treats the expatriate veterans like buying lottery tickets, and they can win every day 500 million, and has won the lottery for ten consecutive years.After all, the dispatched veterans have never faced not only enemies from all sides, but also all kinds of man-made disasters, natural disasters, diseases and countless unpredictable accidents.

Liao Sanniang smiled and said, "Shall I ask the Chief Escort for a string of counting beads and recite a meditation mantra to straighten his mind?"

While enjoying luck, random numbers are constantly accumulating.

As far as he is a person, Liao Sanniang is quite admirable.Like most of the elders, he did not have the cold and decisiveness of being born in a wealthy family, but was rather upright and kind.On weekdays, he neither indulges in female sex, nor is he interested in entertainment and banquets.He can be regarded as impartial in the personnel and official affairs of the capital station, and he is even more expert in business.However, Liao Sanniang always felt that there was some unwillingness to be lonely in the bones of Master Leng.On the surface, he lived a well-behaved life at the capital station, dealing with everything around him cautiously.But there's always some kind of urge to "do something big."

The so-called rules mentioned by Li Rufeng have never been strictly followed. Even in modern times, the lack of supervision and instant communication tools, relying only on employees' self-consciousness, will lead to the abolition of rules and regulations.In Jingshi Station, where the feudalism is strong, the rigid regulations are often unable to adapt to the intricate and ever-changing situation, and flexibility has become the norm. Various Lingao rules and regulations have become a dead letter after repeated modifications, and what can be implemented is actually simple. Crude feudal family law.

Master Leng mocked the senate's gambling on the issue of expatriation, but he himself remained the same, still putting his personal orders above the system of the capital station, without changing the slightest, and taking it for granted.

For the sake of cover, the isolated Jingshi Station, except for the financial system that needs to be preserved due to work docking, whether it is Heliansheng, Delong or Lengzhai, all Australian and Song customs have been changed to Daming etiquette.And try to use as few naturalized employees as possible, and almost all of the unimportant positions are local and nearby recruited employees.They were managed completely in accordance with the feudal society's etiquette method, mainly relying on contracts, shop rules, family laws, and official laws to restrain them. This led to the rapid reverse assimilation of the few expatriates from Lingao, and returned to the living habits of Daming.

Li Rufeng sat on the armchair, stroked his head, and said: "I thought that beating and killing is the most dangerous thing, but now I know that it is the most torture to be idle like this."

Liao Sanniang held the cup in both hands, smiled lightly, and said, "Why does the Chief Escort have to be himself, so anxious."

Liao Sanniang withdrew her mind, looked at the winding road in front of her, and whispered to herself, "Go forward."

Liao Sanniang didn't understand what a lottery was, but she could roughly guess that it was a game of gambling.There are a lot of loopholes in the special and slightly chaotic management system of the Jingshi Station. The Jingshi Station is a special team built according to local conditions. In the post-Ming era when the Northern Expedition started, the existence of the Jingshi Station has increasingly become a focus of controversy. On the one hand, the development of financial and industrial and commercial businesses of Jingshi Station has been very effective; The gimmick is getting bigger and bigger, and while the exposure rate is increasing, the risk is also increasing.

Master Leng is the maker of the rules. All the rules of Jingshi Station are used to manage others. Temporary changes to guards and travel routes are often decided by Master Leng himself—this makes Li Rufeng’s statement about the rules sound more like It is an excuse and evasion of responsibility after the accident.

Liao Sanniang asked, "Any news from Guangzhou?"

Li Rufeng scratched his head twice, and replied: "Come on, it is said that I am using a telegraph box to deliver the transmission, and the transmission will be faster than the stage horse. But such a military weapon is not available everywhere. of."

The two were talking, when suddenly a person broke into the hall, it was Xiaobazi, waving an envelope in his hand, and shouting loudly: "Here we come! We come! A reminder letter is here!"

Li Rufeng and Liao Sanniang stood up at the same time, they looked at each other, and let out a sigh of relief at the same time, a big rock hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground with a bang.
