Chapter 468
A poor son 22
Lin Yutong was startled by the Fourth Master’s decision, “Is he really decided?”
"I'm going to live a worried life with you again." The Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong's hand and said with some emotion.
Lin Yutong gave him a blank look, "Don't be worried. Whether it's charging forward or sieging the city, can't I be a general?"
"The general is so incompetent." The Fourth Master pointed Lin Yutong, "A quartermaster, I can see that it can do it."
After the two of them played a trick for a while, Lin Yutong changed the topic, "Have you agreed? How much money?"
"Three hundred taels." The Fourth Master whispered.
Lin Yutong packed up an inconspicuous box and put gold bars in it. He also took an extra piece of high-quality white jade in the mutton fat.
The Fourth Master nodded.
Three hundred taels can make up for a shortage. However, adding a piece of mutton fat jade can quickly raise the official position. Although this official position may be a bare commander, as long as you pay the money, some people will follow their lives.
What I want is just an identity, a reasonable and legal identity to recruit soldiers and horses.
The commander of the Northern Camp, named Pang, was in his fifties. He looked very kind. He opened the box given by the Fourth Master and became even more kind.
The matter was basically done without any suspense, and even gave the Fourth Master a position as the team leader. But in fact, just like the Fourth Master expected, he was just a commander with no one under his command.
After seeing off the Fourth Master, Commander Pang left Hu Da to speak, "This man... really has the ability to be a slut?"
Hu Da knew that this guy had thoughts again, and his wealth was so touching. He could guess the thoughts he wanted to take for himself.
Hu Xiao and Xiao said, "Really! It's very evil."
Commander Pang then shook his head, "I finally met a fat fish, but I couldn't touch it."
"We will be safe if there are more people like this." Hu Xiaoshou persuaded him in a voice.
Commander Pang waved his hand and said, "You go and do your business."
General Hu put fifty taels of silver on the table for Commander Pang. Seeing that his expression was much better, he retreated.
Although they are taking advantage of private work in the north gate, they have to be filial to the superiors.
After leaving the Pang family's gate, Hu Da couldn't help but turn around and slap. Damn it! He had to get a share of extra money from his brothers. He really didn't give anyone a way out.
Lin Yutong asked someone to buy a pair of pigs at home, and a big pig head was also served together. Chen Hong bought two jars of old wine and delivered them to the North City Gate.
The Fourth Master was just hearing Hu Da who had just returned and was talking about the infantry commander's yamen, and Li Jian brought Chen Hong and Zhu Yin, carrying a food box and a wine jar.
Hu Daxin thought, he is really good at doing things. He also has money to eat and drink, so who is not close to this person?
A group of people came over and called "Fourth Master" very intimately.
Everyone thought that the fourth master was ranked fourth, and no one knew what it meant.
"Tonight, please invite Brother Hu to all the brothers from the North City. Let's have a good meal at home." The Fourth Master held the wine glass, touched Hu Da for a while, and said.
When Chen Hong came back, he passed on the Fourth Master's words to Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong thought to herself that she wanted to be familiar with people and things. So she beat Chen Hong to order a table to wait for the table.
When the guests came, they were entertained in the front yard. They drank until the first hour, and the people got up on the city tower and continued to make money.
The Fourth Master came back and said to Lin Yutong, and then left with the people. He had to always pay attention to the news about the Yin family and the Lin family.
Lin Yutong meditated all night, but in the middle of the night, she heard another noise, and she was no longer surprised.
After several days like this, Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master couldn't help but feel a little anxious when they saw snowflakes falling from the sky and the brazier at home.
It was getting colder, but more and more people were gathering outside.
If this continues, not only the people outside the city cannot withstand the winter in the capital, but also the food in the city should be cut off. The taxes in autumn have not been shipped back to the capital.
"There are no need to think about the taxes in the north. There are refugees everywhere. If there are, they will be snatched up." The Fourth Master sighed, "The south side has probably not crossed the river. Now the situation is not good, so I dare not go through the fortune."
From then on, eating in the capital became a problem.
At least, the villages and people's homes around the capital were almost robbed. Otherwise, so many people outside the city would not have survived now.
"Can they settled down in another place temporarily and planned to rush for the winter?" Lin Yutong guessed.
The Fourth Master shook his head and stood up, "I'm still on the city wall. They can't see me clearly at night, so I'll sway more during the day."
Lin Yutong responded, "If someone appears, you can call Li Jian and call me. Let's go down to pick someone up, which is safer."
The Fourth Master responded and went out.
Lin Yutong packed up the two small yards and wing rooms, hoping that God would protect her and she would be alive.
Outside the city, Yin Lao Er supported Lin Jiren, Qian and Jin supported each other. Brother Lin carried Lin Er and Da Lang carried Song.
It turned out that these people went into the water one after another, and they were lucky. They didn't separate far away. A falling tree happened to block the way. After a delay, the people behind them were asked to catch up. Everyone worked together to move the tree away. Thinking about the number of people, they used hemp ropes to connect the wooden barrels one by one. Then they did not get separated.
At this time, seeing the black head, Yin Laoer took a breath, "If I hadn't agreed to come to the capital with Silang, I should have walked south with my in-laws."
Lin Jishi and Zhu, with Shuanzhu, went south with the people of the Zhu family. The south was prosperous and there was no disaster. The Zhu family had a shop in the south, so they did not have to worry about their livelihoods. Then they parted ways.
Even if so many people are together, they are sick and injured on the road.
Therefore, everyone has the worst plan for the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong.
"Go to the North Gate." Yin Laoer gritted his teeth. He didn't believe it. His son was a short-lived ghost.
After forcing to the north gate, Yin Laoer went down to the north gate. Without looking for it, he saw the word "Yin Si". His heart suddenly felt relieved. When he looked back, he saw that there were so many people outside the city, how should he find it?
Li Jian turned around and shouted, "Fourth Master!"
The Fourth Master asked Li Jian to look at the city, knowing that the Yin family would engrave words under the city.
After this call, the Fourth Master praised it in two steps.
Under the city, who could be Yin Laoer be looking around in panic and helplessness?
"Dad!" The Fourth Master shouted.
Yin Laoer looked up and thought he was dazzled. Is this officer-soldier outfit Silang?
The Fourth Master called out 'Dad' again, and saw that Yin Lao Er recognized him, and then said, "Wait. Tonight!"
The second brother Yin nodded and walked forward two steps. He was relieved when he turned around and saw that the Fourth Master was still there.
The night slowly enveloped Lin Yutong, and Lin Yutong also came to the wall. Hu Da and everyone said, "Don't wait until midnight to ask the family to suffer more. Come now."
"There are dangers below, let's go down. Please help me." The Fourth Master said, and threw the ten taels of gold ingot to Hu Da, "This is the hard money for the brothers."
"Are you scolding us?" Hu Da was about to shirk his luck.
Lin Yutong said, "Brother, everyone has a baby to raise. If it's cold today, the price of grain will rise again. Besides, we have to be filial to you."
Hu Da smiled and said, "Okay! The guys in our hands are not idle." As he said that, with a wave of his hand, the lights on the wall were brightly lit. Then the bows and arrows of ten people were all stringed, and someone dared to move, so he shot them down.
Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master got on the bamboo basket, and Wang Wuwu pulled the rope down.
Yin Laoer and his two families had already walked over here.
Jin looked at her daughter with bows and arrows and swords, and tears fell down. Who could survive, who had never hurt anyone?
Lin Yutong came down and saw that the two families were gathering together, so she felt relieved and quickly let the woman into the bamboo basket first, "Go home and talk, go quickly!"
The bamboo basket was pulled up, and some people walked forward desperately, and the arrows on the city wall shot down.
Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master were not polite and killed four or five people in a row before stopping these people.
Behind him, the bamboo basket was put down again, and the three of Lin's father and son were pulled up. It was the third time that it was Yin Laoer and Yin Dalang's turn.
Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master went up in the end.
When the two of them went up, Wang Wu and the others had already taken the person to their home.
The Fourth Master bowed to Hu Da and others, "I'll be working hard tonight."
When Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master returned, everyone had already drunk a large pot of millet porridge in the flower hall in the front yard. It can be seen how long they had been hungry.
"I can't eat enough for a long time." Lin Jiren advised everyone to eat this.
Qian pulled the Fourth Master to look at him, and Jin pulled Lin Yutong to look carefully, "It's okay, you're fine."
Seeing that the two families were depressed, Lin Yutong quickly said, "If you have hot water, go wash them. The kangs in the room are all hot, and their clothes are on the head of the kang."
The two of them freed up the main house in the inner courtyard for Yin Laoer and Qian's family to live there. The small cricket in the north gave to Yin Dalang and his wife. The small cricket in the south lived with the Fourth Master.
The wing room next to the small yard was given to Lin Jiren and Jin. The two brothers of the Lin family were not married and were placed in the wing room in the front yard by the Fourth Master.
When Lin Yutong learned that Uncle Lin had gone to the south and headed to Jinling, he felt relieved.
Although the disease and the wounds are injured, they all survived.
The next day, it was already midday when Yin Lao Er sat up suddenly. There was a hot kang under his body and a thick cotton quilt. The mute woman was lying clean beside her, snoring. When she looked up, she saw that the room was covered with black lacquered furniture, all of which were complete.
I suddenly remembered that the child who made him hot water last night called me "Old Master".
How come I became an old man? I am only forty years old this year. It was just that time.
The key is why I have such a noble title?
