Return to the Qing Dynasty (63)

"Your wife is in the back hall..." Lin Yutong hit Hongzhou, "Go to meet your wife." He said everything he should say, and Hongzhou, the remaining ones, could not help, so he simply called him directly.

As for how to prevent Wu Zhaku from leaking the news after seeing her, that was Hongzhou's business. This kid is quite capable in coaxing women.

Hongzhou remembered that the emperor's mother had said that his wife was pregnant, so she stood up after rubbing her shoes and ran away without wearing them. She ran away after running at the door and then came back to pick up the shoes and hugged them.

After someone left, Lin Yutong looked at the drawing and asked, "What should I do now?"

The Fourth Master looked at the drawings and called Su Peisheng directly, "Call you Thirteenth Master to come."

Thirteenth Master rested in the garden, woke up as soon as he lay down, put on his robe and slippers and left. Being called out in the middle of the night was very skilled for him, and he was often asked.

What's the purpose today?

This kind of thought flashed through my mind inertia, but then I didn't even have any trouble with this mind. The Qing Dynasty was so big, who knew something happened again. Anyway, I deal with the trouble every day. I got used to it when it was troublesome.

When I arrived at the imperial study room, I was slightly surprised when I saw Lin Yutong, and then when I saw Li, I asked quickly, "Is there something wrong in the capital?" If something happened to the royal family, the queen would have said it here.

Lin Yutong smiled and beat the person who was serving inside. Even Su Peisheng also beat the door to guard and went to make tea and pour water by himself.

The Fourth Master then raised his head from the drawings and waved to Thirteen, "Look at what this is?"

Thirteen didn't see him, and then smiled after a look, "Is it improving again?" But isn't the drawing a little rough? This thing is different from other things, and the difference is a thousand miles away. "Who did it? No one can make something for this picture?"

The Fourth Master nodded, "This is our lucky place." He said bluntly, "I got it from the Cao Gang."

Caobang?

The Thirteenth Master's expression changed and he immediately realized what this meant? The secret was leaked!

He was about to kneel down, "Long live, my brother is dereliction of duty..."

The Fourth Master held the man in one go, and he had the intention to make a mistake but not. In the case of imperfect confidentiality system, it is almost difficult to eliminate such a thing. Not to mention that Thirteen would make such mistakes if he dealt with it personally, he and Lin Yutong would not dare to say that such a thing would never happen. "You can just have a half-year salary fine, and you monarch and ministers know it. Don't spread it to the outside world."

Even if there is a mistake, even if the punishment cannot be announced to the public. The secrets involved in the matter, Thirteenth Master immediately understood. Of course, at least he had a crime of misunderstanding. With such a simple punishment, the matter would be over. Just looking at what to do when the matter is now. The unreasonable trust of Master Long felt warm in his heart. At this moment, he even wanted to know who the person behind this was as soon as possible.

I took the drawings in my hand and looked at them again and again, first looking at the paper and then the mill. Ordinary paper and ordinary ink, there is nothing that makes people see the flaws.

If you look at the drawings carefully, the things on the drawings are actually not very accurate. Many important places are not marked, and the drawings are not very good. Thirteenth Master put down the drawings, "This thing can at least explain a few points. First, there is indeed a loophole in my side, which makes people take advantage of loopholes. Second, someone has already set his sights on these important things, not just one group of people, but several groups of people. Third, the drawings are not complete, I don't know if they are really incomplete, or if someone has obtained the complete drawings but deliberately used the incomplete drawings to trade for a good price."

Lin Yutong handed over the tea, but he agreed with Thirteen's words. Thirteen means that the Cao Gang should not be able to stretch his hands so long, at most it would cost money to make a deal with people. The seller is the most important thing, he is hinting that the seller is the person who steals the drawings and is in the capital.

Thinking of this, a sudden thought flashed through my mind, "...a few other groups of people who came to Beijing have been arrested?"

The Fourth Master looked at Lin Yutong, "What's wrong?" Hongzhou was arrested, and it was unreasonable not to arrest the other parties. Since the other party was a test, it was difficult to cure Hongzhou's side, and this was a show. "The people have been arrested, and they are all in the prison." No one could meet the four prison cells in the east, west, south, and north.

Lin Yutong said anxiously: "Can you search? Search it carefully, especially on several people..."

The Fourth Master immediately understood what Lin Yutong meant. He was afraid that Hongzhou would become a part of his calculations. This drawing was not stolen by Hongzhou at all, but it was deliberately asked Hongzhou to steal it.

He glanced at Thirteen, and Thirteen immediately got up, "I'll do it myself."

Seeing Thirteen leave, the Fourth Master asked Lin Yutong, "What do you think?"

Lin Yutong clicked the drawing, "What can I make with this thing? I can't make anything. So now there are two situations. One is that theft was successfully stolen, and the complete drawing was stolen. The other is that theft was not successful, and what he stolen was not completed in itself."

"There are two different situations that have different results. If it is successful, this person does have complete drawings in his hand. Will he betray such a treasured thing? If he is really not moved, he will not do such a risky thing. Therefore, we can draw a conclusion that this person or this guy is extremely ambitious."

"So, do you mean that in this case, you will definitely not betray it?" Lin Yutong asked and answered himself, "It's not absolute! We know how much money it costs to build a warship. Does the other party have such a huge amount of money? If there is no or not enough, and the things cannot be made, then can it be said that this thing is actually a piece of waste paper. Such a huge amount of funds is afraid that he will not be able to make up for such a huge amount of funds in his life. If this is true, what should he do? Will he try to exchange this drawing for money? But if it is exchanged for money, others will also own it. Obviously this is not in his interest. So an inaccurate drawing was made. But who can this thing be sold to? Who can have money and need a ship, especially a warship?"

Caobang!

The Fourth Master nodded. The situation she imagined existed and the possibility of it was extremely high.

Lin Yutong smiled, "Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the other party is a bit scoundrel. He obviously doesn't have complete drawings in his hand, but he just wants to cheat some money. If so, the Cao Gang will be really cheated." As she said, she sneered, "But no matter what the situation is, the Cao Gang should have realized that he was cheated. Otherwise, Hong Zhou had just been in half a year and was still suspected, how could he steal this thing? Don't say that military advisors are not military advisors, the fewer people know about this kind of transaction, the better. The military advisor is even more pampering his daughter, and this bottom line is still needed, otherwise he will not be able to sit firmly in his current seat. But this drawing was brought back by Hong Zhou? What does this mean? This shows that the Cao Gang is not only testing Hong Zhou, but also want to convey a message to the court through the hands of Hong Zhou and several people who were suspected like Hong Zhou, to retaliate against the scam."

The drawings were thrown silently. If I hadn't learned the news from the Cao Bang, there would be no news from me.

The Fourth Master must have fully understood what Lin Yutong meant, "You suspect that the people who steal drawings, find out where Hongzhou is, and the people who cracked the secret letter are actually a group of people."

Lin Yutong nodded, "There is one thing in common among these three things, that is, the people involved are almost the same, one is Cao Gang and the other is Hongzhou. Then if there is not one mysterious person here, it really doesn't make sense."

Simplify the complexity.

It's that simple to sort things out.

The Fourth Master pointed his finger on the drawing, "... The Cao Gang should have seen whether a drawing is good or not. But the Cao Gang still bought it. Does this mean that when the two parties were trading, the Cao Gang had other accompanying things to win the trust of the Cao Gang..."

Otherwise, unless the fool would buy such a drawing. Judging from their current methods of revenge, they paid a very high price, but the other party should have broken the contract.

Lin Yutong arranged the teacup and teapot on the table into a triangle. The Fourth Master's cup represents the Caobang, and the Thirteenth Master's cup represents the Hongzhou teapot represents the mysterious man. "... The mysterious man contacted the Caobang and proposed the transaction. The Caobang would definitely not buy it after seeing the drawings. But if I was a mysterious man, what would I do if I wanted to make a fortune?" She picked up the teapot representing the mysterious man and held it in her arms, as if she was really the mysterious man. "I'm in a hurry to use money, I'm very anxious. I really want to create such a magic weapon... Then I have to promote this transaction. The Caobang's money must be obtained, but I'm in my hand.

How can I be willing to offer the things in them with both hands? I have magic weapons and powerful weapons in my hands, and I will be rich in the world in the future. How can I measure this with money? I can't really sell it. What should I do? So I made a fake one, only things that don't have details. I don't buy them, and I think it doesn't matter if I tease them. I have my own words, such important things, more detailed drawings, how can I give them the first time I meet? Who can I remember the things that I have the ability to remember, or rob them with malicious intentions, then who can I ask for reason? This principle makes sense everywhere. As long as I don't leave, as long as I feel that there is a clear idea in my heart, this life

I can continue to talk if I want. I will tell them that they can only give half of the drawings, and they can only give half of the silver. When I receive the silver, I will bring another part of the more detailed drawings and make them trade. Everyone makes money and goods at the same time, clean and neat. This proposal seems reasonable, but the Cao Gang will agree? They are not stupid! Of course they will not agree. Why? Because they bought waste paper that is nothing. The drawing without details is a piece of waste paper. So they don't agree. Forging a more real one? It won't work! They won't believe that I will exchange such important things for money. The credibility is not as good as this.

The rough ones are even more trustworthy. But what should I do? This transaction must be done. Now this thing has been revealed. What should I do if the other party doesn’t do it and gets snatched from me again? So I revealed the news to them, which is the matter of the Fifth Prince in the Cao Gang. Just this news, they would not feel that they would lose a lot of money. And as soon as this news came out, the other party must be a little afraid of me. Knowing that my identity in the capital may not be low, I will be even more afraid of not having bad thoughts easily. I achieved this goal..." As she said, her tone paused, "It's true, but why do you always feel that there is something missing?"

Her hand gently tapped on the teapot in her arms, and after a long time, she shook her head and said, "No! The news about the fifth prince cannot be exchanged for such a large sum of money. After all, he cannot point out exactly which one is the fifth prince. So what else can be trusted by the Cao Gang? The information channel in her hand? No! This thing will never let go even if you die. What is that?"

Can you tell me the drawings of the textile machine? If this is really the thing, then Caobang will definitely feel that he will not suffer any loss if he pays it.

Lin Yutong suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the Fourth Master, "Hongzhou can't go back. Even if the other party did not confirm his identity, it would probably be almost the same. The timelines Hongzhou said before should be all wrong. He said that he got the drawing first, and then he heard the news that the Cao Gang knew about the fifth prince's intrusion, which was wrong! The timelines for these two things should be the same. The other party had long suspected him. He used the drawings to test him, and saw that he really stole it, so he deliberately revealed the fact that they already knew the fifth prince was intrusion to Hongzhou... Maybe some other groups of people also took the drawings like Hongzhou. Their purpose might be for money or for something else. This is why the Cao Gang could not confirm which one was the fifth prince. So this happened..." As she said that, she looked at the Fourth Master who had been looking at her without saying anything, "You tell me, is this mysterious person possible that it is someone among these brothers."

The Fourth Master lowered his eyelids and nodded, "It should be."

Lin Yutong was silent. She sorted out the matter from beginning to end, and always felt that the place that was inconsistent was very unreasonable. But if she guessed it accurately, the whole thing would be reasonable.

Su Peisheng outside and Hongzhou who was back were anxious to hear that: What is unreasonable?

Lin Yutong sighed, what is unreasonable? It is unreasonable for Cao Gang to recognize Hongzhou. It is logical that it should be easy to provide a portrait of Hongzhou. As long as the portrait comes out, where will Hongzhou hide? Not only did he not provide the other party with Hongzhou's portrait, he may also prevent Cao Gang from obtaining portraits through other channels.

Why is this happening? How should such a thing be explained?

If he is really one of the fourth master’s brothers, this is easy to explain. He still has a little affection in his heart and doesn’t want his nephew to take his life into it.

The Cao Gang took revenge so quickly and exposed the drawings to the court. It was probably because he was repeatedly blocked by various means to get Hongzhou's portrait. He might have felt that the Fifth Prince's case might be fake. From beginning to end, the person who sold the drawings was deceived.

From a little flaw, the range of suspects can be minimized.

Not to mention those emperor nephews, those kids are very rebellious about their relatives and can still show mercy to Hongzhou's men. That's a dream. Only the brothers like the Fourth Master are still in love.

It would be easy to check in reverse from this direction.

There was no movement in the room, and Hongzhou was anxious. He understood three things. First, he was fooled, and this mission completely failed. Second, there was a certain emperor uncle who had bad intentions, but had a little kindness to himself. Third, he didn't have to go.

No need to go, he accepted it himself. He hurried in, "What should I do if Yuanliang? Yuanliang is still in the Caogang."

The Fourth Master glared, "Take your wife back and rest early. I will do it when Yuliang is done, you shouldn't worry about it..."

OK! The scene yesterday was not good enough to be played in vain.

"Then... Wang Duoer and others..." Hong Zhou asked again quickly.

"Go to sleep with you." Lin Yutong hit Hongzhou without waiting for the Fourth Master to change his face, "Go away quickly. I have been in the garden recently, so don't go anywhere."

After Hongzhou was pushed out, Lin Yutong laughed, "If this kid hadn't reminded him, I would have forgotten. Yuliang! This kid should have been able to use it."

The fourth master's eyes touched Lin Yutong's eyes, and the corners of his mouth immediately raised, feeling that Tongtong was like this as light. He was wise, confident, and Feiyang, and hadn't seen her like this for a long time. He raised his eyebrows gently, "Then...you come..."

I will do it if I come!

When Thirteenth Master came back to report his life, he held two drawings in his hand, which was the same as what Hongzhou got back. This proves that Lin Yutong's speculation is very likely to be correct.

The Fourth Master stayed Thirteen to speak, and Lin Yutong stepped down. When he came back to see the four children sleeping soundly, Lin Yutong called Zhang Qilin and whispered a few instructions.

Zhang Qilin took the order out. When Lin Yutong woke up and finished washing and used food, he brought a eunuch who bent down and bowed his head in, "Empress, can you see this kid's figure?"

Lin Yutong looked up and frowned and said, "Stand up straight, raise your head and raise your chest!"

Lin Yutong turned around and looked around twice, feeling that no matter whether it was his figure or back, he really looked like Hongzhou. Maybe Zhang Qilin had explained that this little eunuch was not very nervous.

Lin Yutong nodded secretly and asked Zhang Qilin, "Is it reliable? It must be 100% reliable."

Zhang Qilin nodded, "The old slave uses his head to guarantee that he is reliable. He is actually the cousin of the same village of slaves... He has escaped from the famine in those years. He wants to find a bowl of rice at the foot of the emperor, but this is not easy. This kid is also a cruel man and cleans himself up... At that time, he was still in the royal palace. The old slave reported to his master and took the kid to the royal palace and found an errand..."

Lin Yutong knew in this situation that many eunuchs in the palace were sold by their parents when they were young, but many of them sold themselves. Many of them were still on this path when they were not young. There are shops in the capital that specializes in cleaning themselves, and they do this business. They spend money to clean themselves, and then go to the palace or the royal palace to find an errand. There are buying and selling things, which are difficult to eliminate in the short term. Now the royal family is huge, and the next generation may have more people. For example, the royal nephews have grown up under the service of eunuchs since childhood and have been used to such a person.

The group thinks they are using it to rest assured. But if they do not have a title or a low title in the future, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not give so many eunuchs. What should I do? Who is buying is not buying, as long as these people are willing to sell, some people will buy it. The Fourth Master ordered a ban, but it still continues to ban it repeatedly. In the final analysis, it is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. However, with the promotion of good varieties, the Civil Affairs Department has more guarantees, and this type of person will gradually decrease. When there is no energy and food, no one will take this path. Of course, those who have to cut a piece of meat to seek a future of wealth and prosperity are different.

I thought about this in my heart, but my hands kept going. Without much effort, an ordinary face that could not be more ordinary was already eight or nine minutes similar to Hongzhou.

Even Hongzhou, who rushed over and was regarded as a reference, was frightened, "This...this...this is so similar..." The emperor's mother still has this skill?

"Maybe they look a bit like you." Lin Yutong fooled him, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Just explain what you should explain. After tonight, there will be no Zhou Hong Zhouwu in this world..."

Master Zhou Wu, who was running with ambitions, died young?

"Zhou Xiaowu - Zhou Xiaowu -" Wang Duoer was stalked on the fence and wall of the prison like crazy, stretching his hand through the gap, and stretching towards the blood-covered "Zhou Hong" who was covered in blood.

"Wake up! Wake up!" Wang Duoer shouted like crazy, "What's wrong with them? Talk! Move!"

"Zhou Hong" only rolled his eyes and glanced at Wang Duoer, making a horrible sound. Obviously, he couldn't even say a word.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with Zhou Xiaowu?" Wang Duoer glanced at the black young man in the cell opposite and asked hurriedly.

The black young man frowned and looked at "Zhou Hong", his heart beat hard. It's like this, so it's impossible for him to be the fifth prince. When he saw his parents yesterday, he realized that he was definitely not the fifth prince. He knew his origin as soon as he looked at his parents, but the master asked to give it a try. Isn't it a try? If he really died here, he felt sorry for it.

"Little junior brother!" He hurriedly shouted, "Little junior brother, can you hear me talking?"

Before he could speak there, the door of the prison was opened again and the black young man was taken out. Obviously, this was a punishment.

Wang Duoer was almost collapsed, "No! No!"
To be continued...
