Lin Yuan said: "Master Jiang, don't you know that the three armies have not moved, and the intelligence comes first? If we hadn't won the intelligence battlefield, the current capital would have been in flames of war long ago!"

Jiang Qingyuan was rendered speechless by Lin Yuan's words, so he had to stand back among the crowd, and all the ministers stopped talking.

Emperor Guangxu saw that everyone was silent, so he said: "Lin Aiqing eradicates the spies, you must cooperate vigorously and do not obstruct without reason. Anyone who violates it will be charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason!"

All the ministers went back separately and didn't dare to say anything more, but Lin Yuan's actions progressed more smoothly.

Lin Yuan then notified the embassies of various countries to report the espionage activities of Tou Shanman and others one by one. The ministers of various countries originally wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail the Qing court, but seeing Lin Yuan's evidence was so detailed, they dispelled their evil thoughts.

In order to get rid of these traitors and spies as soon as possible, Lin Yuan did not go through complicated trial procedures. Tou Shanman, Hu Liang and other leaders were all publicly shot. Three days later, on January [-], Tou Shanman, Hu Liang and others All the spies were shot, and the properties of these people amounted to as much as one million taels of silver, all of which were collected by Lin Yuan for his own use and reserved for future development.

As for those traitors who betrayed information, Lin Yuan took the seriousness of the plot into account. The big bosses were shot one after another, and all the others were sentenced to exile in the Northeast. The development of the Northeast just happened to require a lot of labor.In this action to punish spies and traitors, Lin Yuan also paid attention to promoting social reforms, mainly in the judicial area, abolishing all criminal laws such as Ling Chi, hanging, beheading and car splitting, and using shooting instead; , Strictly prohibit extortion of confessions by torture; and abolish the joint sitting system where one person breaks the law and the whole family suffers.After three days, the matter of spies and traitors came to an end.Lin Yuan knew what had happened during this period, such as the women's visiting team and the legal reform, could stir up a thousand waves with one stone, so he urgently needed to know the reaction of the high-ranking officials of the Qing court, so he thought of Guan'er.

Lin Yuan always feels guilty when he thinks of her. She treats him well, but because of his heavy military affairs, he always ignores her. If it weren't for various things, he would never think of her.

Lin Yuan walked out of the house and quickly returned home. The housekeeper Liu San was surprised and happy when he saw that Lin Yuan had returned. Just as he was about to report inside, Lin Yuan stopped him and walked in lightly. courtyard.

Before the Qing court gave many of Long Wu's family members to Lin Yuan as slaves, but Lin Yuan didn't let them stay, but let them go to work in the spinning mill, so there were not many people left in the house. It was very quiet in the courtyard.

Lin Yuan quietly came outside Guan'er's room, and unexpectedly heard the sound of crying from inside the room. A burst of sadness filled Lin Yuan's heart. He didn't bother to knock on the door, and pushed the door open. Guan'er in the room heard someone suddenly barging in, she screamed in fright, and something in her hand fell to the ground with a "slap".

Lin Yuan saw Guan'er's eyes were red, and was about to ask a question when Guan'er cheered and rushed towards Lin Yuan, how could he look sad at all?

Lin Yuan hugged her gently in his arms and asked, "Why are you crying?"

Guan'er picked up the dropped things from the ground and said, "It's all because of this."

Only then did Lin Yuan realize that it was a book, but when he saw the cover, his eyes almost fell out of surprise!The two black simplified Chinese characters above: Jane Eyre!

This is a novel written by the British female writer Charlotte Bronte. It entered China in the 30s. When Lin Yuan sees it now, it is as strange as seeing a dinosaur on the way to work for a modern person. , Guan'er said: "Jane Eyre is too pitiful, no one else likes her."

Lin Yuan quickly asked, "Where did this book come from?"

Guan'er said, "Sister Wanqing gave it to me."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Wanqing, you are really not afraid of anything! Books with love descriptions can be turned into pornography if you don't pay attention in this era. For example, "Dream of Red Mansions" was once banned, but Guan'er can How dare you give this book to someone who has come into contact with high-level people in the Qing court."

Lin Yuan thought for a moment: "That's not right! How did Wan Qing know Guan'er? I never introduced them! Also, Guan'er didn't know how to read before! Who taught her?" So Lin Yuan Asked: "Who is Miss Wanqing? Shen Wanqing?"

Guan'er was full of envy in Shen Wanqing's face, and said: "Yes! I know her from Qiu Guijin's sister, she is really good, no girl I know can catch up with her, if I can catch up Just be half of her."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I don't know what they will say about me when they get together?" Lin Yuan took a deep breath and thought: "Let's ask something serious." Then Lin Yuan asked: "You have entered the palace these few days. ?"

Guan'er said coquettishly, "You've been busy with various things since you came back, and you don't even know if I'm home or not, so you still have the nerve to ask me where I went? I don't want to tell you."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Guan'er seems to have changed a lot, and now she dares to act like a baby with me. It turns out that she won't say anything if I say one thing." Lin Yuan smiled softly: "Okay, I don't Okay, can't I find a way to compensate you in the future? Tell me quickly, have you been there these days?"

Guan'er hummed delicately, and said: "Now we have to decide, what method will you use to compensate me, if the method is not good, I will not agree."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Tell me, how do you want me to compensate you?"

Guan'er thought for a while and said, "I heard Miss Wan Qing said that the sea is beautiful, but I've never seen it before, can you take me to see it?"

Lin Yuan almost laughed when he heard this sentence, and thought: "This request is really bloody! Even the worst romance novels would bother to use such a plot!" I went out to play, but how could I go so far to see the sea? "

Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little sad, he smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you, you can say it."

Guan'er said, "I go there often these days."

Lin Yuan asked: "Then tell me, how does the Empress Dowager react to the recent events? Things like girls entering the barracks and me reforming the law."

Guan'er thought for a while, and said: "Lafayette didn't say much about the girl going to the military camp, but said that such a thing was only heard in dramas, Mu Guiying was in command or something, reforming the law, she just said To put it bluntly, using only one gun to deal with these people is really cheap for them!"

Lin Yuan asked again: "Then what does the Queen Mother look like when she says these things?"

Guan'er said: "Happy, she looks very happy. She knew that the day the girl entered the barracks, she ordered Mu Guiying to be in command, but we were exhausted." Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Watching the show Isn't it a very happy thing? How can you be tired?"

Lin Yuan then asked, "Don't you like watching theater?"

Guan'er said: "Masters watching the play, we can only stand on one side, and we can't walk around freely. I stood all night, and my legs are swollen."

Lin Yuan felt relieved when he knew that the higher-ups had no objection to him. Although he was not afraid of the people of the Qing court, he didn't want to tear himself apart with them now.

At this moment, someone came to report: "Shuai Lin, there is an urgent military situation!"
