Sign-in life from the county magistrate

He didn't want to believe it, and it was even harder to believe it. This time, Xiao Yunwei was going to target Lin Zhao, an old friend from the past!

"Yes!" Nodding his head, Shen Yu directly admitted without any hesitation.

"The official found out that the shortage of grain and grass in the Nanling warehouse is related to Pingduhou, or all of this was instigated by Pingduhou Lin Zhao!"

"General Mo should know that to be able to transport the food from the Nanling Warehouse silently, the person behind it must be a high-ranking person. What's more, the Governor of the Beishan Region has also been taken down!"

"Moreover, they hoarded all the grain from the Nanling warehouse in secret. During the famine, the grain was neither sold nor used. Does General Mo know what this means?"

"Hoard food and grass, raise troops?" At this moment, a thought suddenly appeared in Mo Yu's mind, which made his complexion change drastically.

There is an army, and there is also rations. In addition, in famine years, there are hungry people all over the place, so there are as many soldiers as there are.The Governor of Beishan Region was taken down, and the last constraint was gone.

If Chang Ding's army raises troops at this time, coupled with the prestige of the Lin family in the army, hiss...

He couldn't help but gasped, but then Mo Yu frowned, how could it be so with Lin Zhao's nature!

"Master Shen, how sure are you? How could the Lin family have a different heart? How could Lin Zhao do this!"

"I'm only [-]% to [-]% sure, but I'm not completely sure!" Shaking his head, Shen Yu also had to be cautious about this.

If Lin Zhao really had a different intention and the Changding army was in chaos, the consequences would be disastrous. Under such circumstances, no one would dare to bet on Lin Zhao's character.

In fact, the best way is to take Lin Zhao down first and remove his military power, just in case.Then slowly investigate and clear his suspicions.

However, this method has a drawback, that is, the prestige of the Lin family is too high.If Lin Zhao is captured, the morale of the army will be unstable.Once there is chaos at that time, the consequences will not be good.

Fortunately, there is Xiaoyunwei, otherwise Shen Yu would really have a headache.

"General Mo, please also ask Xiao Yunwei to keep an eye on Chang Ding's army and never let them take any action. During this period of time, I will conduct a secret investigation until the evidence is conclusive!"

"There's no need for a secret investigation. Mr. Shen can follow me directly to Lin Zhao's mansion. I want to see if Lin Zhao is still the same Lin Zhao from back then!"

"General Mo, don't be impulsive!"

"It's not impulsiveness!" Looking back at Shen Yu, Mo Yu said with a serious face, "Master Shen may not know something, but Lin Zhao has a delicate mind. When he was young, he was known for making decisions before acting!"

"If he really hides the truth, you won't be able to find anything, not to mention with the power of the Lin family, how long does Mr. Shen think we can hide our arrival?"

"This..." I have to say, Mo Yu was right.He secretly went to Chen Cang to hide it for a while, but he couldn't hide it forever. Lin Zhao will be able to react soon, and it will be even more troublesome then.

It's better to let Xiao Yunwei come to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger directly, which is enough to make General Lin dare not make any changes.As long as he doesn't move and the Changding army doesn't move, the Beishan region will be stable.

"Master Shen, why don't you come with me to the Lin's house and catch him by surprise, maybe there will be unexpected rewards!"

"With my Xiaoyunwei by my side, Master Shen can boldly investigate with confidence, and no one dares to stop him. If Lin Zhao really had a different intention, I would have forced him to act, and then crushed him with his own hands!"

Chapter 224 The Last Time

"General!"

In Pingling City, in a luxurious courtyard, countless soldiers in armor stood quietly all around, guarding the place together.

They are deadpan and meticulous.Cold murderous intent filled the surroundings, with an appearance of keeping strangers away.It doesn't look like a manor here, but like a military camp.

Anyone with a bit of knowledge will know that this is the Pingdu Hou Mansion, the young general of Northern Xinjiang who once amazed the world, lives in this courtyard manor.

Ordinary people, even rebellious Jianghu masters, will cast awe-inspiring eyes when they pass by here.

At this time, the gate of the courtyard was opened suddenly, and the person who came had a ferocious expression, which was matched with the ferocious face at this time.It is enough to make people tremble at a glance, and the two are fighting.

However, when he walked into the room, the sturdy lieutenant became cautious, as if he was afraid of disturbing the people inside.

"What's the matter?"

A lazy voice sounded, and a person under the table slowly opened his eyes.The man was unshaven, disheveled and dissolute.

If anyone was familiar with him, he would definitely recognize that the person in front of him was Lin Zhao, the famous Marquis of Pingdu in the past. He was very different from the almost invincible image in the outside world.

No one knows how he became what he is now, and no one knows how long he has been like this.But everyone who saw him felt an inexplicable distress.

At this moment, he was holding a jug in his hand, and he was lying on the side of the table, seemingly indifferent to everything around him.

Next to it is a portrait of a young girl, which seems to be out of tune with the surrounding clutter.

Although Lin Zhao's eyes were drunk and hazy, his eyes were blurred, but when he looked at the portrait, there was an indescribable tenderness in his eyes.

"General, Xiaoyunwei General Mo Yumo is here!"

"Mo Yu, why did he come here?" Hearing this name, Lin Zhao's bewildered eyes lit up for a moment, but then disappeared quickly.

"He came by himself?"

"No!" With his head lowered, the deputy general's face was full of seriousness, and he said in a deep voice, "And all Xiaoyunwei!"

When talking about Xiao Yunwei, the lieutenant's face was even more indescribably serious.No one knows what these three words represent better than these soldiers.

These three characters represent invincibility, invincibility, and the dream of all soldiers.That is the dream of one's own people, but it is the nightmare of the enemy!

"Xiao Yunwei! Hahaha, Xiao Yunwei! Sure enough, I can't hide it!"

Smiling lightly, Lin Zhao sat down from the ground. There was no trace of fear on his face, but calmness on the contrary.

"Let them in, I haven't seen this old friend for a long time."

"General, I'm afraid the visitor is not kind!"

"I know, but so what, what should come will always come!" Shaking his head with a smile, Lin Zhao raised the jug in his hand, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Ayuan, how many years have you been with me?"

"I have been with the general since he was a teenager, and it has been 19 years now!"

"19 years, has it been so long!" Sighing, Lin Zhao raised his head and looked at the other party with slightly narrowed eyes.

"You go, the farther you go, the better, don't come back!"

"General!" Kneeling down with a puff, Gu Siyuan was in disbelief. He never thought that one day, his general would let him go.

"General, if I don't leave, I will follow the general, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of me!"

"A Yuan, why are you doing this!" Standing up slowly, Lin Zhao looked at each other with a wry smile on his face.

"You've been with me for so long, but you've already guessed in your heart. That's right, I did everything. Now, Xiao Yunwei's visit is enough to explain the problem!"

"This time, Ben will not be able to leave, do you understand!"

"General! Even if you are smashed to pieces, the last general will follow you!" Gu Siyuan's dull and resolute voice sounded, without any hesitation in his voice.

"Do you know that this is not only a body smashed to pieces, but also a stigma that lasts forever. I know my sins well, and a hundred deaths are not enough to atone for them!"

Walking forward slowly, Lin Zhao walked up to Gu Siyuan's side. Lin Zhao looked down at him with bitterness in his eyes, and shook his head slightly.

"Back then we were determined to protect the people, but now I do something like this, you must be very disappointed!"

"General! In the eyes of the last general, the general is still the former general. You must have some unavoidable difficulties!"

"There's no reason, it's just selfishness. I should have died long ago for killing so many people for my own selfishness, and I've already had enough of life!"

"General!" Gu Siyuan bowed his head in silence, he could tell that his general was explaining his funeral.This time, the general didn't think of resisting at all, but begged for death!

After following the general for many years, although he is not clear about some things, he actually has guesses in his heart.

He didn't know what happened to make his general do this, but he also understood that once this matter was exposed, the loyal Lin family would probably call for a beating.

Now it seems that this matter is not only true, but even the general himself has never thought of letting himself go.

At this moment, he wanted to ask why.But he opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.

"General, since the day I followed the general, I have decided to live and die with the general. If the general has something to do, the general is willing to die with the general!"

"A Yuan, you can't die!" His hand patted the opponent's shoulder heavily, Lin Zhao squatted down, sighed and said, "I still have an important task for you!"

"I will hand over the secret guard to you. This is the guard that my Lin family has cultivated for a hundred years. I will hand him over to you!"

Squeezing the opponent's shoulder, Lin Zhao couldn't help exerting a little force, and looked directly at the opponent, "I have already given my matter to the leader of the secret guard, and he will help me complete it!"

"After that is done, you will be in charge of the secret guards from now on. What I want you to do is another thing!"

Looking outside, the garden outside the courtyard was bare, with only a few flowers growing vigorously.And these flowers haven't bloomed yet, they are just budding.

However, just looking at the buds outside is enough to tell that the flower is extremely bright, and when it blooms, it must be dazzling.

"Did you see the flowers in the garden? These people who gave me flower seeds, I want you to find them, kill them, and leave no one behind!"

"Also, if someone kills me this time, don't hold hatred in your heart, let alone retaliate at will. If this person is a villain, I want you to kill him. If this person is a good official, then I want you to Allegiance to him!"

"General!" He raised his head and looked at the other party with a puzzled face.Whoever kills the general will have a deep blood feud with him.Ask him to be loyal to the enemy, he can't do it!

"You don't understand, even though I have done so many things, no one in the court dares to kill me. No one dares to ignore the Lin family's century-old reputation!"

"Whoever dares, either, this person is a villain through and through, and he will use any means for his superiority. If such a person lives, he will inevitably harm the people, so he must die!"

"Or, it proves that he is really not afraid of all good officials. Such a good official is worth following!"

Patting him on the shoulder, Lin Zhao seemed to let go of the stone in his heart, and said with a smile, "Go, call my old friend over, and then tell the kitchen to prepare a table of wine and food for me!"

"We haven't had a drink together for a long time, this time, I'm afraid it will be the last time!"

"General!"

Chapter 225 I don't know if General Lin can solve the confusion

"Old Mo, we haven't seen each other for many years. Come on, I specially prepared a table of wine and food for you. Today we must get drunk!"

After Shen Yu and the others had waited for a short time, Lin Zhao immediately came out with a smile on his face. As soon as he came up, he gave Mo Yu a bear hug, and the two immediately hooked their shoulders together.

The personal relationship between the two is deeper than imagined.

What surprised Shen Yu was that Lin Zhao in front of him didn't look like a general at all, but rather like a down-and-out rich man.

Unshaven, unkempt, with decadence written all over his face.It's like the kind of person who has no goals and is in a confused life, who is not as high-spirited as the rumors say.

"Lin Zhao, let me introduce you, this is the imperial envoy Shen Yushen!"

"Shen Yu, the master of piano and sword!" He looked Shen Yu up and down, and then Lin Zhao said with a smile, "I've heard it for a long time, and it's like thunder!"

"You can make Lao Mo introduce you so solemnly, which is enough to prove that he already regards you as a friend. Lao Mo's friend is my friend. Come in, let's get drunk together today!"

"Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient!" Nodding with a smile, Shen Yu followed Lin Zhao's footsteps and walked towards the inner courtyard.

However, when passing by the garden outside the courtyard, Shen Yu's eye sockets shrank slightly.He stepped forward to look a little uncertainly, and then frowned tightly.

"Why is this flower here?"

"Master Shen, what are you doing there, come quickly!"

"Oh, okay, let's go!" He quietly picked a bud, and then Shen Yu walked inside with a smile on his face.

And all Xiaoyunwei guarded in the courtyard, a team of more than a hundred people stood quietly, although the cold and fierce aura was not released intentionally, it still suppressed the soldiers of the Pingduhou Mansion a little out of breath Come.

In the shadow of a famous tree, Xiao Yunwei's reputation today was not achieved by showing off.

And this scene fell into Lin Zhao's eyes, and he just shook his head and smiled slightly, not caring about it.At this time, he seemed to have an inexplicable calm all over his body.

Outside the house, Xiaoyunwei was holding a weapon and resting on his back, as if it could be triggered at any time.And the few people in the room pushed and changed glasses, and after three rounds of drinking, they even got a little tipsy.

At this moment, holding the wine glass, Mo Yu suddenly asked calmly, "Lin Zhao, the Beishan region is your place. You should know that the granaries in the Beishan region have been depleted by a large amount, right?"

"The granary in Beishan is so important. If you want to get out the grain secretly, this person must be a high-ranking person. Someone said, you did it?"

"Really?" Holding the wine glass, Lin Zhao shook his body, and said casually, "Who said that? Is there any evidence?"

"Coincidentally, I was the one who said this!" Also raising his own glass, Shen Yu looked up at Lin Zhao, and smiled softly.

"Before this official seized the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, Wan Cheng, the chairman of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, confessed that everything was ordered by General Lin!"

"Actually, I don't believe such accusations. The Lin family is loyal and trustworthy. But after coming here, I have some doubts. I don't know, can General Lin clear up the confusion?"

"Oh? Interesting, what made Mr. Shen wonder?"

"It's this!" Taking out the flower buds that he picked in the courtyard, Shen Yu solemnly placed them on the table, and then looked up at the other party.

"I don't know if General Lin knows this flower?"

"This flower?" Seeing the bud that Shen Yu took out, Lin Zhao was slightly stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, and he looked at Shen Yu with a smile, "Master Shen also knows this flower?"

"Bao Cai, I have dabbled in all the exotic flowers and plants in the world, and I happen to know this flower in front of me!"

Nodding with a light smile, Shen Yu is not modest at all, although he has never seen this flower, he is very familiar with it.

A long time ago, he signed the "Book of Herbs" which recorded in detail the habits, efficacy, and even mutual growth and mutual restraint of various exotic flowers and plants in this world.

This strange flower in front of me is also recorded in the "Herbal Classic"!
