Lord of the House

"Lin Juren is gone, he has left the city beforehand." The county magistrate still didn't know what happened before he arrived, but the four assassins were all the guards of adults' friends and helped to take them down. Seeing Liang magistrate asking Lin Fu Going to where he went, he said carelessly, "There are few people in the county, and Lin Juren has an entourage who is from the leader of Shanglindu Township. When you go out of the city, you shouldn't be afraid of assassins."

"Why did you let Lin Juren go?" Liang Zuoren stomped his feet in a hurry, "It's just that the assassin pretended to be a porter or Lin Juren saw it first, why did you let Lin Juren go?" But he wanted to leave, otherwise he would talk to Lin Bing. Thank you is really hard for yourself.

"Is that Lin family disciple a Juren?" the middle-aged scholar asked.

"This is the juren of the new township test," Liang Zuoren said. "The county says he is a sour scholar, but I didn't expect to receive his help today..."

"Ah, he is the scholar you said survived the robbery in Baisha County?" The middle-aged scholar said in surprise, "Looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like a sour scholar, but I want to thank him face to face for saving his life. "

The middle-aged scribe knew in his heart that the "arrogant and domineering" Lin Juren was not just helping them: the four assassins had a very careful plan, provocative words and chased after them. The other three took out their weapons and stabbed them. If they hadn't seen through and blocked the block for Lin Fu and the others, they might have succeeded for these four assassins.

Liang Zuoren was a little embarrassed to see through his understatement. The young man, the middle-aged scribe's son, said, "It's still more important to search for the assassin's comrades. Besides, we and the Lin family can't be counted..." He was punched a few times, his handsome face was swollen at this time, and he chased the assassin who beat him. At that time, there was no weapon in hand. In these days, it takes a lot of physical strength and time to kill someone with bare hands. He rescued him in time for the guards, and received a few punches, but it was not a big problem. Seeing what his sister was thinking about, the young man pushed her shoulder: "What are you thinking about?"

"Ah," the girl in men's clothing seemed to be easily frightened, she gave a light push, but screamed in shock, Er only realized that he was overreacting, and said softly with a blushing face, "It's nothing, my heart is still pounding. Jumping." His hand was covering his chest, and it was obvious that the man still felt a little pain in the chest.

************************

When they left the city, there was an additional group of soldiers at the gate of the city who were strictly interrogating the incoming merchants, but Lin Fu and the others did not undergo any interrogation, and went out of the city in a donkey cart.

"I really didn't expect to encounter an assassin—if we were more polite to the two guard dogs before entering the store, maybe they would already be the guests of the magistrate." Sitting in the front with Zhao Hu and learning to drive the donkey, he also read about the tea hotel.

"Is there such a good thing? Can you still enter the store if you are polite to them?" Zhao Hu chased the donkey with his whip and turned around and asked Lin Fu, "What do you think the client of Liang Zuoren, the magistrate, has anything to do with Madam Qi?" He remembered the assassin sitting there to slander Qi Qi The lady made the young man rush out in anger.

There was a layer of hay on the donkey cart. Lin Bie didn't say anything polite. He lay on the hay with his hands behind his head and looked at the blue sky drifting away. He was also thinking about who the middle-aged scribe was. Hu asked, and replied casually: "Who knows, I will meet the Seventh Lady and ask another day." I thought that since they have a close relationship with the Gu family, there will always be opportunities to meet in the future, and asked Zhao Hu again, "Have you already Knowing that Zhou Ye is a leopard in Huai Shang, would you still like to go to Jiangning with me?"

Zhou Pu sat at the back of the car, humming a slang tune, and swayed his feet.

Zhao Hu sat in front of him and pondered for a moment: "Xiu Cai, you often say that black and white faints in this world, officials are like bandits, and thieves are also beneficial. I also heard about Zhou Ye's deeds when I was in the village camp, and I admired it very much. Besides, Zhou Ye I also saved your life, Xiucai, how can I be so ignorant?"

Zhao Hu said so, but Tie Xin followed him all the way to the dark, Lin Bie smiled, sat up with his knees crossed, and said to Zhao Hu: "I met the robbers in Baisha County, but I really will The four "Officials are like bandits" are vividly performed. Enze is neither the nephew of Zhou Ye, nor the surname Fu. He was originally a son of the Chen family, a merchant in Chongzhou. The Jiangdong Xuanfu Envoy claimed to the public that the Chongzhou County School robbery and Baisha County robbery were caused by the East Pirates and the Dongting Water Pirates. That is the responsibility of the Jiangdong Xuanfu Envoy to reduce the erosion of the sea, borders and coastal defenses, and to share the responsibility between Huguang and Guangxi. It's because of the pirates of the same shareholder..." Lin Fu briefly told Zhao Hu all the things that had happened in the past ten months, in order to prevent Zhao Hu from feeling too abrupt, he put a lot of credit on Fu Qinghe's head, Zhou Pu was in When I listened in, I thought Lin Bie was humble by nature.

"..." Where did Zhao Hu think that Lin Fu's encounter would be so bizarre and tortuous in this ten-month period, he almost drove the donkey cart into the ditch, restrained the reins and stopped on the side of the road, staring at Lin Fu with round eyes.

"Now, except for Enze who is by my side, everyone else has gone to sea with Master Fu and the brothers of Zhou Ye and other brothers. Maybe I will report the matter to Yousi, and I can go back to Shanglindu to enjoy the wealth and honor for the rest of my life, but the young family members will be in danger. , the East China Sea will also add a huge murderer - how can I bear to stand by?" Lin Fu asked.

"Since I know about this now, you have no reason to stop me from going to Jiangning with you." Zhao Hu only said this.

Lin Bie put his hand on his shoulder, pressed it hard, and said nothing. Zhao Hu's temperament may seem rough, but in fact he is chivalrous and courageous. If the government knows about the secret passage of horse pirates, it will be a prison sentence. If it is replaced by Lin Jingchang, although he will not go to the government to inform, most of them will not dare to follow him to Jiangning. .

In the setting sun, the donkey cart slowly drove back to Shanglindu. The twilight was deep. The river branch outside the pier was covered with a faint twilight. Come out, the twilight is getting darker, and the lanterns are getting brighter.

At the head of the village, Mrs. Zhao saw Lin Fu and the others coming back in a donkey cart, and told him that the Seventh Madam would return to Huyan's hometown tomorrow, and said, "Do you want to go to Jiangning, by boat or by horse? A few vendors came to Lindu today. Horses, I heard that those horses are really good..."

"Then go and have a look." Lin Fu said, and asked the young Chen Size to drive the donkey cart back with Zhao's family. He, Zhou Pu and Zhao Hu went to the mule and horse market at the ferry, and told Zhao Hu on the way: "These horse traders may be Huai. The brother on top is pretending, we made an appointment at the break-up in Tinghu - let's go and see..."

Luomashi is at the south end of Shanglinxi, next to Lindu Township Camp. Passing the xikou by boat, the sky is dark, and from a distance, I can see a few strings of three lanterns linked together by a few strings of angry wind lanterns in front of the camp in Shanglindu Township. Some, two lanterns were inconspicuous in the strong twilight.

Horse traders are different from ordinary business trips. Even after nightfall, the main family will sleep with their helpers next to the animal pen in the mule and horse market. Watching their mules and horses are not taken away by others, they enter the mule and horse market at this time. , always find someone.

The Luoma Market was more lively than expected. Before entering the wooden fence of the Luoma Market, he heard the noise inside. Lin Fu and the others walked to the gate, and saw the dark corners of the inner side were full of human figures. The quarrels continued, mixed with donkeys and horses neighing, and I couldn't hear what was arguing inside.

Seeing someone come out, Zhao Hu stopped the man and asked, "God, what's going on inside?"

"Brother Zhao Hu, Master Xiucai is also there?" The man saw Lin Fu and Zhao Hu by the light, and stopped to explain, "Three foreigners brought more than ten good horses to sell—you know it too, There was a shortage of good horses in the village camp. The second son knew the news, and he rushed over to pack all the horses. This foreigner was only willing to sell five inferior horses, saying that the other horses were arranged by guests from Jiangning. Yes, I want to send it to Jiangning, but I won't sell it. Those horses are really eye-catching. There are several horses with good teeth, bones, and skin color.

"What kind of horses do you know? Listen to what other people say," Zhao Hu interrupted the man and asked, "If you don't sell it and pull it down, why are you arguing again?"

"Hey," said the man, rubbing his head with a smile, "they don't want to sell it, but the second son doesn't want to buy it. Besides, the horse is so good, I just don't understand horses, and I hear the horse's neck neighing crisply. Liang, I also know that it is a good horse. The second son is more understandable. The second son asked the three foreigners to negotiate the price, and he was willing to increase the price by 30%. What do you think? Cai, the second son will increase the price by 30%, but the three foreigners still disagree, don’t they know how to praise? The bones of these three foreigners are really cheap, and they really can’t let go. The second son will increase the price by 60%. They were all confused and left without a hand, Zhao Neng's servant led some to block the three horse dealers inside, and today I want them to sell if they don't sell!"

"What is a cheap bone? What is an ignorant promotion?" Zhao Hu slapped the man on the back of the head, "If people don't ruin their promises for money, in your eyes they are cheap bones and do not know how to promote!"

Zhao Hu still had some prestige in Shanglindu. The man covered the back of his head, which was sore, and said with a sly smile: "Aren't they from outsiders? Who are they not bullying these days?" He asked Lin Fu to please, " Master Xiucai, do you think this is true?"

Lin Bie remained calm, and only said, "Go in and have a look." He also knew that he could hear the change in people's names for him. In the past, others called him "Xiuscai". When he came back to the village this time, he was called Master Juren, even if he used to know him well. The Internet will also call him "Master Xiucai".

The second son, Lin Xuzong, was not in the luoma market. It was Zhao Neng who led more than 20 people from the township camp to block three foreigners inside. Lin Fu walked over and saw Zhao Nengzheng grabbing the neck of a foreigner and shouting loudly: "Since the Don't sell horses, but bring them into the mule and horse market, is it a good entertainment to be a Lindu person?" But he wanted to provoke these foreigners to make a better excuse.

Lin Fu ignored the three-seven-two-one, squeezed into the crowd, grabbed Zhao Neng's collar, and slapped him: "You kid is here, looking for you for a long time, you think I forgot about Baisha County." The slap was loud and heavy, blinding Zhao Neng directly, with gold stars in his eyes and buzzing in his ears. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
