Need for money

With Shi Mo leading the way, Lin Jingzhi and Aunt Yu walked towards the back door of the Lin Mansion. Originally, he should have sent Aunt Yu away, but after thinking about it, Aunt Yu is very skilled. Things on Wei's side seem to be pretty good.

In this way, he not only finds something for Aunt Yu to do, which saves her from being bored all day long, but also helps him share the errands.

Due to the influx of refugees into Los Angeles, the streets were rather chaotic, and half of the people would not attract attention. This time, Shi Mo did not deliberately find a place to settle Yang Wei, he directly introduced Yang Wei to a relatively remote guest room in the mansion.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and Yang Wei quickly stood up from the chair. As soon as Lin Jingzhi stepped on the threshold, he took two steps forward and knelt on the ground, "Slave Yang Wei, see Over the second master."

"Get up, what's the matter? Are you so anxious to see me?" Lin Jingzhi gave one hand a hand and sat on a chair beside him. Aunt Yu glanced at Yang Wei after entering the door, slightly surprised, she didn't expect Among the servants of the Lin family, there are such masters.

This person's martial arts skills are probably on par with the official who had two swords behind his back in the morning.

It was only after Aunt Yu sat down that Yang Wei stood up, bent over, and replied respectfully: "Second Master, something important happened..."

After that, he glanced at Aunt Yu cautiously, the meaning was very simple, he just wanted to ask Lin Jingzhi if he could let Aunt Yu listen to what he said next.

"Just say it."

"Yes, Second Lord, at noon today, the servant got the news from the capital. When today's son heard that there was a large-scale locust plague in the north, and there were countless refugees, he vomited blood and was already critically ill. Even the imperial physician risked his life to make a diagnosis, saying that the emperor If you can't live for more than three days, you will ascend to heaven!"

"What!" Lin Jingzhi was startled when he heard the words, and stood up abruptly.

In this era, the emperor's ascension to heaven is considered the biggest event in the world. Besides, the new emperor's ascension to the throne ranks second. These two events are major events that can affect the entire world.

Even if Aunt Yu was a warrior and didn't care about state affairs, her face changed slightly when she heard the news.

"Second Lord, it takes about two days for a pigeon to fly from the capital to Los Angeles. In other words, the emperor may die tomorrow." Yang Wei said again.

It stands to reason that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the death of the emperor has no direct connection with the Lin family. Lin Jingzhi shouldn't have made such a fuss, but thinking about it carefully, judging from the current situation, it is greatly disadvantageous to the Lin family.

A prosperous country must have strict laws, but now that the dynasty is unstable and the imperial prestige has been greatly reduced, local officials have less restraint and no scruples when they do bad things. Now the Lin family and Wang Meng have fallen out Face, if Wang Meng is determined to take the Lin family under the knife, then the Lin family will be miserable.

The court is unstable, Zhizhou Tianji is equivalent to a party of princes, with him covering it, Wang Meng can run amok, so for now, the situation of the Lin family is indeed worrying.

"The locust plague broke out, the treasury was empty, and now the emperor is seriously ill, making the court turbulent. If Zheng Qiujian came this time, he really wanted to ask me to use the silver to appease the army!" Lin Jingzhi frowned in thought, and sat down slowly.

Soldiers also have to eat and support their families. If the military salary is not paid in time, and the family members or themselves are hungry, the morale of the army will definitely be unstable.

For the Zheng family, having 10,000+ troops in their hands is indeed a great reliance, but at the same time, there is no food and military pay from the court, which is a big burden. If these two problems cannot be handled well, the army mutiny will be triggered If they rebel, the Zheng family will suffer.

After figuring this out, Lin Jingzhi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, because according to the current situation, the Zheng family is the only reliance of the Lin family, but at the same time, the Lin family is also very useful to the Zheng family, and as long as the Lin family is useful to the Zheng family , then the Zheng family would not allow Wang Meng to deal with the Lin family. This kind of mutual use relationship is far stronger than human face, or the kindness of saving a life.

The Zheng family has been operating in Liuzhou for so many years, and naturally has a wide network of contacts. They will never only know a rich man from the Lin family, so even if Zheng Jianqiu came here this time, he would open his mouth like a lion, it would not be too outrageous to think about it.

After waving his hand, Lin Jingzhi said, "The Son of Heaven's critical illness is a serious matter. Remember that after you walk out of this door, you must not let it out in advance."

"Your servant obeys!" The master was sitting in front of him, Yang Wei only dared to put half of his buttocks on the chair, and when he heard the order, he quickly bowed in response.

Even if the Lin family has the Zheng family as their backer, the situation is very bad. Lin Jingzhi thought for a while, and felt that it was necessary to make some back-up preparations. Otherwise, if Wang Meng made a sudden move, the Lin family might be uprooted by him.

Clenching his fists subconsciously, Lin Jingzhi said: "Yang Wei, after you go back, immediately gather all the hidden guards with good martial arts nearby, and I won't hide it from you. I will use you, remember, don't neglect!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that his master was using an orderly tone, Yang Wei quickly took a big step forward and knelt on the ground with one knee.

Lin Jingzhi didn't ask him to get up immediately, but pointed to Aunt Yu and said, "This is Aunt Yu, who has excellent martial arts skills, if you need anything in the future, you can go to her directly, what she says is my order. "

"Your servant obeys!" Yang Wei replied again, but a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his face facing the floor. He was not disloyal to the Lin family, nor was he worried that someone would seize his power as the captain of the secret guard in the future, but rather I think Aunt Yu is a woman.

In this era, men are very arrogant, especially a man with real abilities like Yang Wei. Although he is just a slave, he still has the pride of being a man.

"Slave pays respects to Aunt Yu!" Dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction, Yang Wei did not dare to disobey his master's order.

Aunt Yu didn't expect that Lin Jingzhi would let her take charge of the affairs of the hidden guards of the Lin House, she was taken aback for a moment, then she noticed that Yang Wei seemed to be a little strange, she glanced at Yang Wei coldly, and then said: "From now on, if there is anything to do, come directly to him. Look for me, I will tell the second master, and, when all the people are gathered, tell me, I will go to make an inspection by then."

"Yes!" Yang Wei said again.

"Okay, you step back." Lin Jingzhi waved his hand at Yang Wei, and when Yang Wei left the room, he said again: "Yu'er, you have been by my side recently, you should understand the current situation of the Lin family. I understand better, I have entrusted the hidden guards of the Lin Mansion to your hands, you must pay more attention to it."

"En." Aunt Yu raised her head, met Lin Jingzhi's gaze, and solemnly responded.

Lin Jingzhi was very relieved to have Aunt Yu to help take care of the hidden guards. He took out a token engraved with the word "Lin" from his pocket, and he handed it over, "Seeing the token is like seeing the Patriarch, what order do you want to give in the future? Just show them this token, as long as they see this token, they will never dare to disobey orders!"

In the entire Lin family, only the head of the family has such a token in his hand to show its uniqueness. Aunt Yu took it and nodded heavily.

After giving Aunt Yu some instructions, Lin Jingzhi left Lin's mansion again to inspect the food distribution place in the south of the city. Shi Mo was left in the mansion and was responsible for supervising the work of the kitchen. For this job, Shi Mo didn't dare to have half a cent slack.

Lin Jingzhi and his two led four guards to the south gate of the city. They saw not only a large number of refugees surrounded here, but on the other side of the gate, there was another place to open a shed to help porridge. The flagpole, the triangular flag is flying in the wind, hunting, and there are two large characters written on it, 'Imperial Court'.

Needless to ask, Lin Jingzhi could guess that this project to help refugees was started by Wang Meng in the name of the imperial court.

However, it seems that there are far fewer people going there to pick up meals than the Lin family.
