Need for money

Aunt Shuang stood alone in the corner, watching Lin Jingzhi and Tang Yuxiang holding hands with her own eyes, feeling affectionate, and her heart felt bitter. This time, she wished again precisely because Mrs. Lin knew that Lin Jingzhi liked her very much before, so she agreed to take her with her. She came out, but the reality in front of her now made her unacceptable.

The man who used to be as close as her confidant never took the initiative to look at her!

Aunt Rou has a gentle personality, and she can't see through Aunt Shuang's distress. When Madam Lin called the two of them by their names, she took Aunt Shuang's arm and walked into the hall together.

After Lin Jingzhi left the main hall, he was supported by Shi Mo and walked towards the back mountain. The surrounding area of ​​Luocheng belongs to the temperate zone. Although it is late autumn at this time, the trees and flowers in the mountains are still lush and lush. Looking from the halfway up the mountain, the scenery is pleasant , Beautiful and beautiful, a cool breeze blows, lifting Lin Jingzhi's black hair, which lifts people's spirits.

The mountains here are connected to the mountains, so the area of ​​the back mountain is very large. About 300 meters away from the backyard of Yiqingguan, there is a clump of bamboo forest. Lin Jingzhi and Shi Mo came here, seeing no tourists around, so they plunged in. After walking inward for about a hundred meters, Lin Jingzhi sat on a huge blue stone.

Si Mo waited for Lin Jingzhi to sit firmly, then put his finger to his mouth, and then blew hard, and there was a crisp whistle.

Not long after the whistle fell, Lin Jingzhi heard a rustling sound coming from the depths of the bamboo forest. From far to near, it was obvious that someone was walking among the bamboo forests. The middle-aged man with the sword came into his eyelids.This middle-aged man had a dark complexion, a burly figure, and was very majestic. After seeing Lin Jing, he walked a few steps, knelt on the ground with one knee, and then bowed with his fists in his hands, and said respectfully: "Slave Yang Wei, I have seen the second master." .”

Lin Jingzhi glanced lightly at Yang Wei's fists as big as vinegar bowls, and was secretly startled, how much pain he had to suffer to form such thick calluses, the pair of iron fists in front of him had thick joints, and the blue blood vessels on the back of his hands were like earthworms It stands out, the muscles are tense, and there is a sense of strength.

After a little help, he said softly, "Get up."

"Yes!" Although Lin Wei lowered his voice as much as possible, the martial arts practitioner's voice was louder, and this sound still scared away countless birds. Lin Jingzhi saw that he was dusty and scattered, and said softly: "It's been a few days since , the border wars have continued, but you have suffered."

Yang Wei bent down and saluted, and replied: "This is the job of a slave, it's not a matter of suffering or not, but I have heard a lot of news when I went to the border."

Almost all wealthy and prosperous families keep guards in secret. The purpose is very simple, that is, when the family encounters a moment of life and death, they can secretly protect a bloodline so that the incense will not be broken. Yang Wei is the current guard of the Lin family. The boss, there are 150 people under his command. Apart from practicing martial arts, he is also responsible for inquiring about news from various places.

The Lin family's power and financial resources are limited, and it is impossible to expand the industry throughout the Dagan Kingdom, so they have opened small restaurants or inns in many places. These industries do not cost much money, but they can inquire about business intelligence in various places, such as which continent and which city this year When there is a drought or flood, you can buy grain in advance and transport it there to sell it for huge profits.

To put it bluntly, these small restaurants or inns are the Lin family's eyeliner. Although they are not very useful for a while, if they are used once, they can bring a lot of benefits to the Lin family. It cannot be regarded as a burden on the Lin family.

The Lin family has ancestral precepts, and the hidden guards are only loyal to the head of the family, so apart from the heads of each generation, many other family members do not know that there is such a force in the family.

"Oh? What's the news? Let's hear it." Lin Jingzhi asked curiously.

"Yes!" Yang Wei responded first, and then continued: "Second Master, after the servant went to the border this time, I heard many people say that although General Wang was killed by a partial general, the assassin did not seem to be some kind of assassin. A traitor planted by man."

Standing aside, Si Mo's eyes widened when he heard the words, with a puzzled expression on his face, he asked, "Impossible, it's not an enemy traitor, how dare he sneak into the army and assassinate the commander-in-chief of the first army?"

Lin Jingzhi was also a little surprised at first, but he also stayed in a third-rate university for four years, took so many history classes since he was a child, and watched so many intriguing ancient costume TV series when he grew up, so he just blinked After a while, he calmed down again.

Above the court, there was already a raging undercurrent, and now that the Holy Majesty was in poor health and was dying of serious illness several times, the internal strife would naturally become more intense!

"Go on."

"Yes, this servant once heard people say that the assassin was originally from the capital city. He had joined the army for less than a year and made several great achievements before he was promoted by General Wang to be a side general. Also, the assassin seemed to be a seven-year-old general. The prince recommended joining the army..."

"Ah? How could this be?" Shi Mo opened his mouth wide after hearing this.

Lin Jingzhi had been mentally prepared before, so although he was surprised that a prince was involved in this matter, he could accept it rationally, but sighed secretly in his heart, as expected, the most wronged death in the past and present was the loyal minister and good general!

But who would be behind the killing of General Wang?

Assassin?There is a possibility, but it is not great. After all, it is very difficult to bury a traitor who is reused by the enemy commander in the enemy's army.

emperor?This possibility is more likely. The old general Wang has made countless contributions to the Dagan Dynasty throughout his life. Even the current emperor is quite afraid of him, let alone the crown prince?So the emperor knew that he was seriously ill, and he was about to ascend to heaven, so he removed the sting in the eyes of this master of meritorious deeds for his son, which was both reasonable and reasonable.

In the end, it will be the Seventh Prince, or several other ambitious princes!Everyone knows that General Wang is loyal to the current royal family, so when the current emperor dies, he will definitely support the crown prince to ascend the throne. In this way, while he becomes the crown prince's right-hand man, he also becomes the support of several other princes. A thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh.

well!In the end, it was just suffering for the people at the border!

Shaking his head lightly, Lin Jingzhi didn't want to pay attention to this matter anymore. After all, he was just a wealthy businessman and did not participate in political affairs, so these news were of no great use to him. A city, along the way, have you encountered many disaster victims?"

Lin Wei thought about it for a while, and then said: "Back to the second master, there are not many victims."

Lin Jingzhi also knew that the border gate was originally a place of bitter cold, sparsely populated and quite desolate, so even if there was a military disaster, there would not be too many refugees. After hearing this, he nodded and said, "Is there any other information? And speak."

"Yes! Second Master, do you still remember that when the seasons changed from spring to summer this year, many places in the four northern continents were hit by disasters?"

Lin Jingzhi was stunned at first, then his face changed greatly, he stood up from the stone with a 'teng', and said in surprise: "Could it be another sign? Tell me!"
