Chapter 204 Each has a ghost
Jiang Jinfu sneered: "Lin Jue, you are a man, at least you have no quibbles." Do you want to know where the news comes from? I might as well tell you. Otherwise, you will not admit it. In the evening, a secret letter arrived from the messenger of my cottage Flying Fish Camp. Do you know where the secret letter came from? Hehe, it's from Hangzhou. Coincidentally, Daddy and Xu Junshi went to the southern coral island to inspect together, and this secret letter was to be delivered overnight, but no one was willing to help them send a boat across the reef beach overnight. Coincidentally, I have a tin boat on hand, and I am not afraid of the reef of the reef beach. So they came to me and asked for help. Originally, I didn't care about such things, but coincidentally, this time I just wanted to know the contents of the secret letter. They couldn't help it, so they showed me the secret letter. The letter was written clearly and clearly. Hangzhou City began to collect large ships more than 20 days ago, and the sailors of the Hangzhou Ning Navy also gathered on Putuo Island. In the past two days, a lot of defenders in Hangzhou have been transferred, and more than 20 large ships assembled by the palace guards have also sailed along the Qiantang River to the sea. Explain to me, what is this for? Do you go fishing? Hahaha. ”
Lin Jue frowned and said nothing, in fact, regarding the gathering of military ships to collect civilian ships, Lin Jue thought that he couldn't hide it from the ears and eyes of the bandits. But judging by common sense, there was no large-scale gathering of imperial soldiers and horses, but the mobilization of the naval forces of Hangzhou Chengning should not be able to arouse the suspicion of the pirates, after all, the strength of the Ning navy, the pirates would not believe that they would dare to attack. There must be other questions here, otherwise how could Jiang Jinfu say that about the plan.
"On this basis you conclude that it has something to do with us? The strength of the Ning Navy dares to attack you? Do you know that they are not going to sea for training? Or is it for something else? You're too casual with your big hat. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"Lin Jue, I praised you just now, but now I don't think you are a man. What are you denying at this point? There's more to the secret letter, our people already know your plans. You want to come together from inside and outside, and you will respond on the island to welcome the officers and soldiers ashore, don't you? I said that you refused to leave, it turned out that you were waiting for the Ning Navy to attack. I want to keep you alive and dead for half a month, because before the deadline comes, the officers and soldiers will attack, and you can act. You may still deny it, but I tell you, the analysis on the secret letter is clear, and your plan is clearly written on it. The person who heard about this plan is a well-known figure in your Hangzhou Prefecture, and he has never missed a business trip. The news he sent was the most reliable. Lin Jue, what else do you have to say? Jiang Jinfu sneered.
Lin Jue frowned and was silent, having said this, Lin Jue understood that it was useless to deny. There must be something wrong internally. Although not many people know about this plan, it is difficult to ensure that there is a detailed work here. Or someone with a heart will find out the news through various means, after all, that fine work is in the dark, and I don't know what kind of position he is in and what kind of interpersonal relationship he has.
But one thing is for sure, this person must not be the prince's father and son, Yan Zhengsu, or the two commanders of the Ning Navy. Because they knew about this plan the earliest, and they knew it clearly, if there was a fine work among them, the moment he and Gao Muqing came to the island would be the time of death. This meticulous work is not low, but it is by no means a core figure, so it took so much time to figure out the plan, and only then did the news arrive before the soldiers and horses attacked.
There was an awkward silence in the hut. The sea breeze sent the surging sound of the tide, rumbling and rumbling, and the mood of Lin Jue and Gao Muqing was up and down, and it was difficult to calm down.
"Then ......" Lin Jue broke the silent atmosphere and said softly: "Since the young island master knows our purpose, we don't have to defend ourselves. But I don't know what the young island owner wants to do with us? ”
Jiang Jinfu smiled and sighed as he sat on the only chair in the room. When he sat down, he touched the sore spot on his body, and he couldn't help frowning.
"Lin Jue, do you still need to ask? You're here to raid our nest, and now that it's been revealed, what else can we do? Naturally, it's a dead end. ”
Lin Jue suddenly smiled, Jiang Jinfu frowned, and said, "You can still laugh?" You are dying, don't you understand? ”
Lin Jue smiled: "Of course I understand, once this matter is revealed, where can I still live?" But...... The young island master should not kill us at this moment. ”
Jiang Jinfu sneered: "How do you know that I am not here to kill you?" Do you know how many men I ambushed in this forest? I called you both alone, and don't you understand that I'm going to do it? ”
Lin Jue said with a smile: "Young Island Master, if you want to do it, you don't have to go to such great lengths. There are two military camps next to our station, you can order the soldiers and horses to surround our station and raid in, and more than 100 of our men will not be killed in the blink of an eye? Why did you call us in the middle of the night to tell us these things? You just said that it was evening when you received the news, and now it is the third watch. There was a gap of more than three hours. If you say that you are waiting for a surprise attack in the middle of the night, it will make people believe it. However, it is incomprehensible that you did not send troops to raid the camp, but called the two of us out to talk. ”
Jiang Jinfu was stunned, frowned, and said, "I'm willing to let you live a little longer, isn't it?" I didn't order the raid, I just wanted to trick you into coming here and killing you, didn't I? ”
Lin Jue said with a smile: "The young island master can do whatever he wants, but there is nothing that can't be done." I'm just speculating based on common sense, and it's naturally unpredictable for unreasonable actions. ”
Jiang Jinfu smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "You are very smart, you might as well continue to guess." ”
Lin Jue said with a smile: "The young island master is willing to listen to my nonsense, so I will talk about it again." Well...... The young island master didn't immediately move to get us after reading the secret letter, I'm afraid there is another reason. I heard it right, the young island owner seems to have said before, the secret letter can only be viewed by the island owner and the military advisor, and the young island owner is obviously overstepping his authority. However, this is also the reason why you did not order the mobilization of troops and horses to attack us, because once the young island master gave the order to do this, it would be tantamount to telling the island owner that you had overstepped your authority to read the secret letter. Although you have merit in arresting us, I think the owner of the island will not let this go, and will punish you afterwards. Therefore, even if the young island master wants to kill us in his heart, I am afraid that he can only endure it and pretend not to know about it. ”
Jiang Jinfu felt that this Lin Jue was not only smart, but also a little scary. Indeed, he had concerns about this. After learning the news, he thought that he would immediately take Lin Jue, Gao Muqing and the others, but after thinking about it, didn't this mean telling his father that he had forced him to ask for the secret letter in advance? This is an ultra vires act, and my father will not spare it. If you want to grab credit, in the end, it will backfire and you will be severely punished. You must know that the rules under Daddy's rule are extremely strict, and these bandits can obey and be controlled by Daddy, in addition to Daddy's prestige, it is his extremely harsh punishment. In the current situation, even if it is himself, his father will definitely not let it go, and he will have to soak in the sea dungeon for at least ten days. At the end of the ten days, the sea water will soak the whole body to rot, which is still a relatively light punishment.
"Of course, maybe this is just a little bit of the young islander's concern, and I don't think that's what the young island owner really cares about. The reason why the young island owner didn't do anything, but asked us to come here to meet, I think, is for another reason. Lin Jue continued in a deep voice.
Jiang Jingui sneered: "Another reason? Then you go on and guess, why did I call you? ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll continue to guess." I guess that the young island owner may have something in mind and wants to cooperate with us? Or do you want us to help you come up with an idea? ”
"Hahaha." Jiang Jingui laughed, pointed at Lin Jue's nose and said, "You kid, you really treat yourself as a green onion." What are you? I'm going to work with you? What capital do you have to say this? ”
Lin Jue looked at Jiang Jingui coldly and said, "I don't have capital? Just because I said that the Hangzhou Mansion and Liang Wangye sent troops to fight you, do you think I am qualified? ”
"You persuaded them to send troops? But I didn't believe it. Jiang Jingui shook his head and said.
"Believe it or not, you sent people to kill me again and again, I knew that it would be difficult to escape your clutches, even so, I simply didn't do anything, and persuaded the government and the palace to send troops to exterminate you with my incorruptible tongue, this is my ability." Lin Jue sneered.
Gao Muqing also chimed in: "Young Island Master, are you scolding him for counting that onion?" You should ask your dead brother Jiang Jingui about this. On Guishan Island, how he died, how he was defeated, this is Lin Jue's clever plan. You can underestimate everyone, but you can't underestimate Lin Jue. ”
Jiang Jinfu frowned and said, "Then tell me, what is there to cooperate with us?" ”
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "There are many things to work with." First, I can clear your name and introduce you to Zhao'an. In this way, you don't have to be a bandit for the rest of your life, you can walk on the streets of any inland city without worrying about the government's arrest, and you can live in peace. ”
Jiang Jinfu sneered: "Who is rare, I won't go to the imperial court to recruit peace." Don't try to tempt me with this. Don't think I don't know the virtues of the imperial court. Those of us who are pirates, all of us have a lot of blood on our hands, will they let us live? Besides, Lao Tzu is free here, and he will put his life in their hands, don't even think about it. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "This is just one choice, of course there are other options." If the young island owner feels that life on the island is more comfortable, then it doesn't hurt. However, whether the life here is really comfortable, the young island owner knows in his heart. From my point of view, the life of the young island owner does not seem to be very comfortable. If the young island owner wants to take control of the situation and truly become the master of this place, I think I can help you. ”
Jiang Jinfu's heart moved, but he didn't show it too obviously, but sneered: "In order to survive, you can be regarded as giving up." I dare to say this kind of obvious discord. How can I feel uncomfortable? My father is Hai Dongqing, the owner of the island here, what else am I not satisfied with? Here I want to eat, eat, drink, drink, and have women, and this is called being at ease. ”
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Does the young island master really have whatever he wants?" Does the young island owner have real power? Do you have the trust and respect of the owner? If the position of the island owner is not passed on to the young island owner in the future, what else can the young island owner want? ”
