"The guards around me have also worked hard today..."
Wang Xiangshen immediately understood:
"Lao Jun, that's what you should do. Haven't you already prepared the pork, mutton, wine and meat?"
Lin Fengjin shook his head. Catharsis after the killing is still necessary, and when you are drunk, your self-control will be even worse. Rather than causing some rape scandal in the future, it is better to nip it in the bud and get straight to the point.
:
"I think Shangqiang County is a big county. How many brothels are there?"
Wang Xiangshen was a man who was good at figuring out what was going on. He hesitated and said:
"If you include private prostitution, there will still be seven or eight families."
Lin Fengjin frowned and said:
"So few?"
Squire Wang smiled bitterly and said:
"Well, sir, you know the current situation in Shangqiang County. It's hard to say whether any of these seven or eight companies are doing business now."
Lin Fengjin shook his head and said:
"When you see blood and kill people, you have to have a place to vent. Otherwise, why would the East China Sea pirates like to wash the city? I will take two thousand silver out of here. Mr. Wang has to think of a way."
Wang Yuanwai was surprised and said:
"How dare you do this? Mr. Lin, aren't you going to slap me in the face?! Put it away quickly. I can't do this alone. I have to find someone to discuss it."
Lin Fengjin nodded:
"Then please. These men of mine are violent. They see blood and drink alcohol. I don't dare to kill people and set fires. But I have to find a place to vent. It will be bad if they lose their temper and disturb the people.
"
Wang Yuanwai said in his heart that this credit is not easy to get. I am so old and have a high status, but I still want to pimp them! Then I went to find a few Jin gentry to talk. Of course
At this time, he was pretending to be powerful, and he would definitely not be so polite when he spoke. He said directly:
"Have you all seen the group of people under Mr. Lin? Are they called tigers and wolves?"
Everyone nodded, feeling like they had nothing to say.
Wang Yuanwai continued:
"Everyone has read history books. After a large army kills and attacks a city, the people are often in dire straits and wail in pain. We almost suffered a disaster today. Why? It is after the soldiers attack, the brutal murderous intention in their hearts needs to be vented.
This is human nature. Mr. Lin's group of people are so violent. After fighting for a while today, can we expect them to calm down by chanting sutras and eating fast?"
"So Mr. Lin gave me two thousand silver and asked me where there was a place for fireworks. He wanted to buy sex for his subordinates, so as not to disturb the place. Can we accept the money? Of course I refused firmly.
, but I’m really not familiar with this, so I’ll see what everyone can do.”
Wang Yuanwai said this. At that moment, some people came forward and said that they were regular customers of such-and-such building and were willing to ask. Then there were some people who were not familiar with this area but were willing to pay and treat it as laborers------This
The big families who were present also went around the county town. They saw that many families were still dying in the whole county town. Apart from being sad about the death of rabbits and foxes, they also knew that today was thanks to the protection of these prairie barbarians, so I was sincerely grateful to them.
I mean it. Although I am willing to contribute money and effort, there is nothing wrong with it.
As a result, after they asked several shops, the old bustards there initially said they would not do business. The war was chaotic, but when they heard that they had saved the entire Shangqiang County, they discussed it for a while, and more than half of them were still there.
Many girls are willing to go, and some even offer "charity sales" for free. There are fifty or sixty of them. Counting those who are keeping watch among the Red Cavalry, and those who are not looking for extravagance outside, they are finally enough to work for the army.
number.
These girls were originally prepared to be tortured by these prairie barbarians. However, these red knights around Lin Fengjin were able to accompany him. They were all good seedlings recognized by him, and they had to be taught the art of war.
It was very useful, and Wu Zuocheng was already quite Chinese, so even though these guards were still like wolves and tigers when they picked up their guns and mounted their horses, it was much better than they expected.
Besides, these ladies are all professionals, not some delicate boudoir ladies. They are well-informed, experienced, and willing. When they meet such a strong and muscular man, some even have the idea of getting married.
The prairie men around Lin Fengjin experienced the gentle and gentle style of Ruoshui that was completely unique to the heroic prairie women. Many people immediately became obsessed with it and clicked thirty-two likes.
And although most of these ladies don't charge money, why is Lin Fengjin reluctant to part with such a small amount of money to sell his skin?
The next day, I asked my subordinates about their opinions, and almost all of them gave positive reviews. Without further ado, I sent someone to a gold shop in the county town the next day to buy up all the gold hairpins. Needless to say, I received free labor.
Sister, each of you has one. It’s okay if you don’t want to sell it, but what I send you is not prostitution money, it’s a gift. If you don’t want it, do you think you’re looking down on me?
Now these prostitutes who worked for free had not only got the title of "righteous prostitutes" but also received benefits. Naturally, they were very happy. So some of them thought that the customers last night were not bad, so they went to visit them again, and finally caused
The result was that when Lin Fengjin left Shang Qiang, there were actually a dozen Chiqi who redeemed themselves for the women here and took them home as concubines. Lin Fengjin didn't say anything about Chiqi, he just paid the money. Of course,
This is a story for later.
Early the next morning, he came to Lin Fengjin with a sigh and announced that he had failed in one of his missions because after the ancestor of the Ji family died, the disciples around him immediately killed him.
It was burned. It was said to be something our ancestors had told us long ago!
Originally, members outside Ji didn't believe that such a thing could happen, but these disciples all agreed, so there was nothing they could do.
By the time Tapo found out about this, the bodies were all reduced to ashes, so he really couldn't be blamed.
Looking at the dejected Tabo in front of him, Lin Fengjin also knew that it was not his fault, so he patted him on the shoulder and said:
"It's not a crime of war, but this also confirms one thing. There is indeed something wrong with the ancestors of the Ji family, and there should be some obvious doubts about the corpse after death. Even the coffin procedures can't be done, so that's why
They will burn the body as soon as they die. So, what should the first person who advocated burning the body know?"
After he was encouraged by Lin Fengjin, his eyes suddenly brightened and he continued to do things. Lin Fengjin thought about it and suddenly considered a very important thing. That was the envoy he killed yesterday.
It seems that he had a direct fight with the ancestor of the Ji family. The wounds on the body of this divine messenger look a bit strange!
According to the wild boar, it was similar to what was caused by wild beasts!
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Fengjin immediately called for the wild boar, and at the same time took out the frozen body of the divine envoy from the Xumi Mustard Seed Ring. He only needed to look at the wound, and there was no need to melt the ice.
As soon as the wild boar came over, after hearing what Lin Fengjin meant, he immediately squinted his eyes and considered it carefully. He quickly pointed at a wound on the corpse and said:
"Master, look here, the skin of this divine envoy is so tough. Even if I hit it with my axe, there is no guarantee that it will be able to split it. However, the wound is stretched from here to there, and the skin and flesh are rolled up and appear.
The shape of the saw teeth appeared, and it was crooked. Even if you use a saw, you can't get such an effect! In my opinion, only the claws of wild animals can cause such wounds."
"Also, Master, look at the wound on the calf, the same is true. It is crooked and jagged. Such a wound can only be torn out, bitten by a beast or the like, and then shakes its head continuously.
Or rolling has such an effect."
Lin Fengjin was silent for a while, then whistled quickly. Then he said to the visitor:
"When the ancestors of the Ji family fought with the divine envoy yesterday, many people should have seen it on the spot. Call the two witnesses who saw it most clearly."
Lin Fengjin's request was quickly fulfilled. Then he confirmed two things. The first was that the ancestors of the Ji family did not use weapons and faced the enemy with bare hands. The second was that during the battle, there was a layer in the field.
The gray fog made the battle very unclear.
In this case, it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that the ancestors of the Ji family indeed have problems and have ulterior secrets.
While Lin Fengjin was deep in thought, someone knocked on the door again, saying that someone was coming to visit.
How could Lin Fengjin have the leisure to do all this socializing at this time? He was very impatient and simply waved his hand and said:
"not see."
However, the steward of the Ji Mansion who was reported to have said with some fear:
"Master Ciao, this is Mr. Guo from the Yamen!"
Lin Fengjin stared at him and said lightly:
"Oh? Is Master Guo very powerful? How could a master scare you like this?"
Butler Ji Mansion glanced left and right and said in a trembling voice:
"That's Guo Bapi! After County Magistrate Zhou came here to become an official, six large families in Shangqiang County were ruined. It is said that Magistrate Guo was behind them!"
After hearing this, Lin Fengjin smiled and said:
"It turns out he is a lackey. No matter what he is, I can guess what this guy wants to say and I don't bother to look at his face."
At this time, Ji Yuanwai heard about this and hurried over, and persuaded with a wry smile:
"My dear nephew, just think of it as giving me face, okay? You will eventually go back to Beiqi, but my Ji family still has to live here. This Guo Papi is ruthless and will do anything if pushed hard.
Come out!"
When Lin Fengjin saw Ji Yuanwai speaking, his eyes flashed coldly and said:
"Okay, I'll go see him."
Lin Fengjin stood in the room with his eyes closed for a while. When he opened his eyes again, he felt a little different. He no longer had that compelling temperament and a restrained edge, just like
A young man in his twenties from a wealthy family, who was not much different, came to the outer hall and saw Master Guo Papi.
Contrary to the imagination, this person is not a despicable and despicable person with a deer head and rat eyes, but a dignified appearance, thick black eyebrows, and a long five-willow beard under the chin that can be said to be very decent. To be honest,
This kind of appearance can be done by putting on official uniform and pretending to be a censor. At first glance, he looks upright and awe-inspiring.
Although Lin Fengjin kept him waiting for a long time, Mr. Guo actually had no grudges at all. He was just enjoying his tea there peacefully. As soon as he saw Lin Fengjin coming, he stood up and laughed enthusiastically:
"This must be Mr. Lin who drove away the pirates from the East China Sea and saved the people of our county from fire and water?"
After hearing this, Lin Fengjin hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"No, master, please don't believe those rumors. It's obviously the pirates from the East China Sea who are dividing the spoils and fighting among themselves. Wang Juren and others organized Xiang Yong to take the opportunity to attack, so they had such an effect. What does it have to do with me?"
After hearing this, Mr. Guo was slightly stunned, but immediately regained his composure and said with a smile:
"What are you talking about? The whole county is spreading rumors about your kindness, Mr. Lin! It's said that a hundred cavalry can defeat ten thousand enemies. It's such a huge battle."
Lin Fengjin smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Master, think about it, isn't that what the f*cking script says about riding a hundred horses and defeating ten thousand enemies? Do you think so? Foolish men and women in the countryside have heard too many words from the script, and when they see something, they just follow their imaginations.
In other words, it was obvious at that time
The spoils were unevenly distributed among the East Pirates, and internal strife broke out. We tied branches to the horses' tails, and hundreds of horses galloped up to make the dust fly, which was very powerful. In addition, there were a group of people waving flags and shouting. This way we were able to scare the enemy away."
Master Guo's expression slowly began to change, but he still maintained basic courtesy and smiled:
"So that's it... Then I heard that your subordinates even cut off several sacks of ears from the East Pirates!?"
Lin Fengjin smiled bitterly and said:
"Three men make a tiger, my lord, it is true that the ears were cut off, but they were not cut off by my people. They were cut off by pirates from the East China Sea and were ready to hand them over to report their merits, but they threw them away when they fled in a hurry.
They were picked up by my people and offered to the people in the city as a sacrifice. The ignorant people were just talking nonsense, which resulted in such a misunderstanding..."
Master Guo's face became more kind, and he smiled and said:
"Then I seem to have heard that many East Pirates were beheaded."
Lin Fengjin sighed:
"With so many people dead, who knows how to cut off some heads? I'm actually just a horse dealer. I don't know anything. Squire Wang and the others gave me a few hundred taels of silver and told me not to talk nonsense, Mr. Guo. Are you?
The people in the yamen are well-informed, can you tell me what it means to talk nonsense?"
Master Guo's eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"What? There is such a thing?"
Lin Fengjin said with a sad face at this time:
"I'm just a visiting relative. But when I encountered something like this, I was completely confused. I didn't know what to do! I really shouldn't have come this time!"
Master Guo suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed:
"No, no, it's a good thing you came. You should have come. If you didn't come, wouldn't this be a dead end?"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out. Lin Fengjin spread his hands, looked around in shock and said:
"Why, why is Master Guo gone? Did I say something wrong?"
The steward of the Ji Mansion who was listening next to him had no idea what he should say. He found that he seemed unable to express his feelings in words, so he could only smile bitterly:
"Master Cousin, Master Cousin, eh! How could this happen?"
Lin Fengjin's eyes once again showed a compelling edge:
"It just so happens that the matter of the boss's son is complicated and confusing. I also need strong official help. Hum, the trap has been set. If you don't have any ill intentions, then everything will be fine. Everything is easy to say. If you had planned something evil a long time ago, haha,
Then don’t blame me.”
Lin Fengjin had already judged that the magistrate of Shangqiang County and the think tank team around him were very unsmart.
-------Because how can a shrewd official make the people under his command angry? The most brilliant corrupt official can be greedy and greedy, but at the same time the people still cry out to the sky with tears in their eyes to persuade them to stay.
, and at the same time, his boss has a very good impression of him and speaks highly of him.
For example, this week the county magistrate can only scratch the land and stir up public resentment. Even his superiors have a bad impression of him. How high can his IQ be?
Therefore, Lin Fengjin's trap was set for them. It can be seen that the county magistrate was quite anxious this time. Less than two hours after Master Guo returned, they quickly took action and organized Xiang Yong's attack.
Wang Xiangshen and his gang were "invited" directly to the magistrate's office, and then they couldn't get out. To put it bluntly, they were put under house arrest.
To be honest, according to the status of Wang Xiangshen and his gang at this time, they are almost all prominent figures in the local area. It is impossible for them to be detained by the magistrate so hastily. Otherwise, it will easily cause a big incident. But now it is very
During this period, pirates from the East China Sea invaded, and everyone was in danger. Moreover, Shangqiang County was conquered before they fought back. In addition, the government's credibility was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so the county magistrate succeeded.
This is the case, and many people who don't know what's going on have a dubious attitude.
After Lin Fengjin heard about this, he smiled instead. This was the first step of his plan, which made Magistrate Zhou feel threatened--what threat?
He was an official whose parents had the responsibility to defend the land and die for the country. As a result, he was self-willed and caused internal strife and lost the city. In the end, a group of volunteers formed by the squires recovered the county seat and defeated the enemy by beheading them. If this matter was taken seriously
If the truth is told, what will the people think? -------Although this is not very important, what is important is what the Shangguan will think!! What will the court think???
Therefore, from the perspective of County Magistrate Zhou, this credit must be fake!! Lin Fengjin casually fabricated a few false information about the master and fell into this guy's ears. Even though he felt suspicious, he
He will also selectively ignore it, because he simply needs these excuses and reasons.
Otherwise, he will have to abandon his official position, and he will be doomed! Judging from County Magistrate Zhou's previous experiences, he is not an indecisive person.
So he acted faster than Lin Fengjin imagined!
But with this move, he fell right into Lin Fengjin's trap.
This man was originally self-willed and greedy. He had already left a bad impression on the gentry in the county. Next, this guy avenged his personal revenge while defending the city, which accelerated this impression. In the end, he brazenly locked up the organized villagers.
These brave Jin gentry have completely pushed themselves against the Jin gentry in Shangqiang County!
At this moment, Lin Fengjin suddenly heard a series of footsteps coming in from outside, and then the housekeeper of the Ji family came running over quickly, saying with a grimace:
"Master Biao. Master Biao!! Mr. Wu from the Yamen came over and said he wanted to buy a horse."
"Oh!?" Lin Fengjin raised his eyebrows and said in an innocent tone: "Really? Then sell it. When you open a business, buying and selling is a matter of course! I was originally a horse dealer, and business came to my door.
That’s a good thing!”
Butler Ji looked like he was about to cry:
"Yes, but Capt. Wu is only willing to pay one tael of silver for a horse!"
"Hahahaha!" After hearing this, Lin Fengjin suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed unscrupulously: "Such a price is really exciting, so generous! I'll go and take a look."
When Lin Fengjin came to the outside, he saw Mr. Wu.
The first impression of this person is definitely not that of a head catcher, but that of a pig butcher.
Probably because of the hot weather, this guy unbuttoned his front, revealing his chest covered with black hair and his fat belly. What hit his face was a strong smell of wine and body odor! This guy...
When he saw Lin Fengjin, he poked him with his fingers as thick as sausages:
"Hello?? Are you that bullshit horse dealer? Say, say!"
Lin Fengjin let this finger poke his chest and said with a strange smile on his face:
"Yes."
Capt. Wu took out a money bag from the side, shook it, and listened greedily to the noise inside, then threw it on the table next to him, and said with a breath of alcohol:
"I want to buy a horse."
Lin Fengjin looked at the money bag and saw that there were copper coins in it. He immediately showed a look of astonishment and confusion:
"What, what does this mean? All our horses are sold from the grassland. When we were in Gaiping, someone offered us 400 taels of horses and we didn't sell them."
As soon as he heard four hundred taels of horses, Capt. Wu's eyes immediately widened. Then he burped violently and said with bright eyes:
"Four hundred and two horses?"
Then he immediately changed into a fierce expression and said:
"Fart! These horses of yours are obviously thieves. You are an internal agent of the East Pirates. You bought the horses from them and sold them at a low price. I have already made it very clear, and now I want to take you back and bring you to justice.
!”
Lin Fengjin immediately said "frightened and angry":
"What nonsense are you talking about! My horses all have customs clearance certificates and government bonds. You say my horses are thieves. What evidence do you have?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better.
