Chapter 365 Young Genius
Night, Lin family
"Cuckoo, cluck"
The chirping of birds rang out from outside the courtyard, not out of place in this dark night.
About a quarter of an hour later, a dark figure walked out of the house. He looked around cautiously. After confirming that no one was around, he took out a stone from his arms and threw it violently.
The stone seemed to be swallowed up by the night. After being thrown against the courtyard wall, it made no sound at all.
But the sound of birds outside has changed to a different frequency.
The black shadow seemed to be relieved, took out a jade silk from his arms, tied a stone on it, and threw it out.
After doing all this, he looked around cautiously and quietly returned to the house.
The chirping of birds outside gradually faded away.
Several guards patrolling the yard walked past, holding torches in their hands and yawning from time to time.
"Brother Duanmu, everything goes well."
The shadow returned to the house and spoke.
Duanmu Liangchuan nodded slightly and looked at the stars.
It seems that it is not far from County Magistrate Lin closing the net.
He also had to make some preparations in advance so that he could escape later. Although his two bodyguards were powerful, he didn't feel comfortable leaving his fate entirely to others.
Fortunately, he had gained a lot of money these days and gained Lin Xiao's trust, so it was much easier to handle affairs within the Lin family.
I heard from Lin Xiao this afternoon that County Magistrate Lin had agreed to give the Wang family a way out. What he has to do next is to consolidate Lin Xiao's trust in Magistrate Lin, and to find ways to intensify the conflict between the Lin family and the Wang family.
……
In the Lin Mansion, Lin Xiaofan and Wen Yue were writing a book, and Zhao Shan was drawing something unknown.
These days, Lin Xiaofan was too lazy to make pens, so he simply learned how to use a brush.
Although the writing is still not pretty, at least I can see some of it.
Perhaps waiting was too boring, so Zhao Shan couldn't help but ask:
"What are you writing?"
"Write whatever you want."
Lin Xiaofan replied that he was indeed writing casually.
After coming here for nearly six months, he could feel that he had gradually integrated into this place, and many things from his previous life were gradually forgotten.
He will record whatever is useful in his mind.
Including various technologies, history, and some things he used in his previous life.
Wen Yue raised her pen and said:
"I'm writing about the art of war."
What she wrote was mainly what Lin Xiaofan told him, combined with her own insights.
"Miss Wen is so powerful."
Hearing this, Zhao Shan became somewhat interested. In this era, there were not many women who studied the art of war, and she had never seen a woman who could write military books.
"Master asked me to write down some of what he taught me."
Wen Yue smiled.
While chatting, a dark shadow came over.
"Sir, this is a letter from the Lin family."
The black shadow presented the jade silk and stones intact.
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly, took the jade silk, laid it flat on the table, and wrote a line of small words on it.
The Lin family, Xiang family, and Wang family hold evidence of each other's crimes. If they can get it, they can exterminate the family.
The Lin family has a total of fifty-two guards, and the defense force is the weakest at Yin time every night.
Lin Tian of the Lin family seems to have the intention to replace Lin Yu, and he hides it so deeply that Lin Xiao is not aware of it.
Wang Cheng and Lin Xiao talked several times, and the last time they almost came to blows.
A few lines of small characters written on the bamboo slips confirmed Lin Xiaofan's guess.
"Ms. Zhao, do you have a suitable person in your family to stir up trouble between the two families?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
Zhao Shan smiled and said:
"Brother Lin, don't worry, I've already found help."
After the matter was resolved, Lin Xiaofan lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep soon.
He woke up the next day when the sun rose above the eaves. When he went out, he saw that Wen Yue had been waiting for a long time.
"Master, the help Miss Zhao Shan is looking for has arrived."
Wen Yue saw Lin Xiaofan waking up and said quickly.
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
Lin Xiaofan slapped his forehead. I just came to help myself, but ended up getting up late.
"Originally, I wanted to wake you up, but the man refused to let me go, saying that I couldn't disturb Magistrate Lin's rest."
Wen Yue opened his mouth to explain.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan actually became somewhat interested in this life.
He simply combed his clothes and went to the living room.
A young man was looking down at a bamboo slip. He looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his body had not yet grown up, but he could vaguely see that he had some resemblance to Zhao Chen.
The Zhao family actually sent a child. Can this gain the trust of the Wang family?
Lin Xiaofan had some doubts in his heart. In his previous life, he had also seen the deeds of Gan Luo, Sun Ce and others, and they all achieved great achievements at a very young age.
But when he actually saw a child in front of him, he still couldn't help but feel suspicious.
This child should still be at school age. It is already remarkable that he can read enough scriptures. Can he really understand the current situation and do diplomacy well?
While thinking, the young man raised his head, saw Lin Xiaofan, stood up and saluted:
"My Excellency, Zhao Zihan, has met County Magistrate Lin."
The young man was not timid at all, and looked at Lin Xiaofan from time to time with his bright eyes.
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly and said:
"My friend, please sit down."
"My little friend, this mission is not as simple as you think. The Wang family has fallen into a deadlock, and it could be overturned at any time. Even if you have the identity of a member of the Zhao family, you may still be in danger."
Lin Xiaofan wanted to examine this young man first to see if he was really capable.
Although this trip is not life-threatening, it is still important. If Zhao Zihan can't do it, he will find someone else.
"Magistrate Lin is joking. Although Wang Cheng doesn't have much ability, he is not stupid. Let alone the Wang family is in a deadlock, even if he wants to die, he will not be able to attack me."
Zhao Zihan saluted.
"Now that I know the situation here, little friend, what should I do?"
Lin Xiaofan smiled and asked again.
"This is easy. All it takes is to arouse the Wang family's desire for power and money, plus a little resentment towards the Lin family. Of course, the specifics are that County Magistrate Lin will give you guidance."
Zhao Zihan spoke. Although he was young, there was no youthful arrogance in his eyes.
When Lin Xiaofan heard this, he was a little surprised.
This Zhao Zihan is young and promising, but he is not arrogant at all. On the contrary, he is a bit humble, and he is a good talent.
"Okay, if you have any opinions, you can always put them forward."
Lin Xiaofan nodded slightly, and then told Zhao Zihan all about his plan.
Zhao Zihan listened quietly on the sidelines most of the time, and occasionally asked questions of his own.
It wasn't until noon that the two of them finished talking about it.
"Plans can never keep up with changes. Once you actually take action, you must adapt to changes. Also, you must be extremely cautious and always be careful of others trying to set you up."
Lin Xiaofan warned seriously.
Although Zhao Zihan has real talent and knowledge and is humble in his work, he is still too young and has not experienced the storm.
"I'll remember it."
Zhao Zihan bowed and then said:
"Magistrate Lin, I have a heartfelt request."
"My little friend, tell me."
Lin Xiaofan said.
"If this can be accomplished, I would like to worship you as my teacher."
Zhao Zihan stared at Lin Xiaofan with bright eyes.
