Although the Zhang brothers looked frightened on the surface as they were being chased and beaten by more than a dozen boat people, they were actually quite calm in their hearts.
Because Dr. Lin is within sight, as long as he runs to Dr. Lin, known as Hengtang Xiao Fengxian, he will definitely be safe.
When he was only a dozen steps away from Dr. Lin, he saw Dr. Lin turn over like a kite and get down from the recliner, and then he jumped up and down again, and he ran away.
The Zhang brothers were almost dumbfounded. This was different from what they had promised in advance. How could you, Lin Ziguan, take the lead and run away?
Fortunately, driven by the desire to survive, the two of them continued to run subconsciously.
Madam Fan and Inspector Wang, who were joking, stopped talking when they heard the commotion and looked towards the fish market together.
Lin Tailai rushed to the side of Inspector Wang, turned around and shouted at the chasing crowd: "The official of the Hengtang Inspection Department is here, who dares to make a mistake!"
In order to show off in front of Mrs. Fan, Inspector Wang specially wore an official robe today. The shit-green ninth-grade robe was still very dazzling.
The boat people who were chasing after him heard Lin Tailai's screams and saw Inspector Wang's green official robe, and gradually stopped, but still refused to leave.
Just now Lin Tailai wanted to talk to Inspector Wang, but unfortunately Inspector Wang only had eyes for the beautiful lady in filial piety and ignored Lin Tailai.
Now that the boat people were causing trouble, Lin Tailai said to Inspector Wang: "Sir Wang! These boat people selling fish have started a riot. Please ask the inspection department to quickly quell the violence!"
Inspector Wang subconsciously looked around and saw that he had two followers with him. What could he do to quell the violence?
No! What does this matter have to do with Mr. Wang?
So Inspector Wang refused Lin Tailai unceremoniously and said: "The Inspection Department's duty is only to detect smuggling and theft, and these boat people are not thieves or criminals!
They just have a dispute with your fish market and you should resolve it among yourself! There is no need for the inspection department to come forward!"
The nature of this matter is similar to a fight between clans in the countryside. If there is no special order from the county government, the inspection department will not take care of it at all.
The grassroots level has its own rules of the game, and the inspection department is not omnipotent!
Hearing Inspector Wang's evasion, Dr. Lin was not depressed at all. Instead, he said angrily: "Since Sir Wang has authorized me, I will resolve the dispute right now! Then I will report back to Sir Wang!"
Inspector Wang: "???"
Then Lin Tailai strode towards the rioting boat people buying fish.
The leader of this group of fish sellers was a swarthy, bald man. He shouted to Lin Tailai from across the deck chair: "Are you the new kid from the fish market?"
Lin Tailai ignored the bald black man, first bent down, reached under the recliner, and then took out two slender things.
The material is made of steel and cast iron, and the whole body looks like bamboo joints.
Before anyone else could react, Inspector Wang first said in surprise: "Hey, it turns out to be an iron whip!"
This is a weapon that only exists in storybooks most of the time. In reality, people who use iron whips are really rare.
When Dr. Lin was playing in a boxing class in his previous life, he had a casual discussion with the coach about what weapon a boxer would be most comfortable with besides finger pointing.
The coach believes that among conventional weapons, the most suitable weapon for a boxer is the double sword. The attack and defense methods are relatively close to those of fighting boxing. Using the double sword in a boxing stance allows for almost seamless switching in actual combat.
Although the government of the Ming Dynasty had relatively loose control over swords, when the current social situation was relatively stable, double swords were not suitable for members of the community to use as conventional weapons.
The first is that the double swords are too eye-catching and attract attention when walking on the street. There is no concealment at all. The yamen cannot completely ignore it. You may encounter difficulties when entering and exiting the city gate.
The second is that the lethality is difficult to control. The daily combat level of the club is just fighting for territory. Killing with a knife is too easy to kill directly, so it is completely unacceptable.
So after thinking about it, Lin Tailai decided to build two bamboo-jointed iron whips as conventional weapons. In his layman's imagination, the postures of slashing with a knife and smashing with a whip seemed to be similar.
Anyway, daily club fighting is enough. Although I heard from others that the iron whip is more lethal than the machete, Lin Tailai still feels that the lethality of the iron whip is relatively easier to control.
Of course, for normal people, a knife and a whip are completely different types of weapons. A single whip of the same level is almost twice as heavy as a single sword.
Using a knife requires speed and briskness, but wielding an iron whip is too laborious, so who can a decent person use an iron whip?
But Lin Tailai is not a serious person. Considering the strength of his body, wielding two iron whips weighing five to six kilograms can strike swiftly and violently even if it is light.
In fact, no matter how heavy it is, it can be swung, but the durability is not good, and if the iron whip is too heavy, it will easily kill people, so it does not need to be so powerful in daily life.
This group of fish sellers were a little stunned when they saw the iron whip. In ordinary people's perception, using a whip is considered an unpopular weapon, let alone two.
"Let's talk it over if we have anything to say." Dr. Lin held an iron whip in his hand and suggested sincerely.
Han and traitors are not at odds with each other, and the conflict is irreconcilable! The black-faced man scolded without giving any dignity at all: "Speak of your mother!"
"Why are you forcing me to be a villain!" Dr. Lin roared with grief and anger, dancing with strange steps, holding whips in both hands in front of and back, and slowly approached the crowd, but did not rush into the crowd rashly, only in the outer circle.
Wander.
The leader of this group of fish sellers and boat people, the black-faced man who spoke earlier, shouted again: "Let's get in together, shoulder to shoulder!"
Then he took the lead, holding the oar, and rushed towards Lin Tailai. However, against Lin Tailai's burly figure, this black-faced man could not be called big at all.
Later, a group of boat people followed the black-faced man and rushed over together.
Facing the attack from the crowd, Lin Tailai jumped to dodge and waved his double whip to counterattack, one whip to the left and the other to the right in a very rhythmic manner.
The weight of the iron whip itself brings with it a huge force. After hitting it hard, it will almost hurt you if it touches it, and it will be disabled if you touch it!
Most of them lose their fighting power after one or two hits! This is because Dr. Lin is a kind man and does not risk his life to attack the vital points.
The first person to be whipped was the big man with a black face. His whole shoulder was hit so hard that he couldn't move. He fell to the ground and groaned.
After just a few dozen breaths, the dozen or so rioting fish sellers on boats almost collapsed to the ground!
In fact, by the time we got to the back, several people were so frightened that they turned around and ran away towards the pier.
But even his running speed was not as good as that of Lin Tailai, who has 1.2 meters long legs. He was still caught up and took a few more lashes.
Lin Tailai squatted next to the black-faced man, holding an iron whip, and asked kindly: "In order to save a few pennies on health fees and stall fees, I have to spend so much money on soups and medicines. Is it worth it?"
"Kill me if you dare!" the black-faced man shouted fearlessly. How could a man struggling to survive in the storm of Taihu Lake still be bloody?
Lin Tailai replied distressedly: "Don't say that. If I kill you, who will come to the fish market to give me money? How can I be willing to kill you?"
The black-faced man still responded forcefully: "Don't even think about it!"
Lin Tailai suddenly stood up, raised the iron whip in his right hand, and slammed it on the recliner he had been using frequently these days!
After a harsh sound, the recliner, which was strong enough to bear a weight of more than 200 kilograms, was instantly shattered!
The black-faced man was stunned. What kind of domineering strength is this? If he hits himself on the forehead with a whip,
Dr. Lin asked the black-faced man again: "Actually, I have shown mercy to you. Why don't you appreciate it and thank me for my kindness?"
As he spoke, he used the iron whip to gently draw circles on the black-faced man's knees, "Don't worry! You have to be trustworthy when you come out to hang out. If I say I won't kill you, I definitely won't kill you!"
"Actually, a few pennies is not much." The black-faced man suddenly figured it out and said reasonably.
Dr. Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "Thankfully you understand the truth, otherwise I really don't know what to do. Maybe I can only break the legs of your accomplices, leaving you intact and responsible for sending them all back."
The black-faced man: "."
Brothers Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu came out to clean up the mess. Dr. Lin couldn't help but reprimanded: "I found out, why are you two useless at all?"
The two brothers cried with mournful faces: "You have done everything from beating people to making peace with red faces, and threats with white faces. You are both responsible and established. What else do you need us brothers to do?"
Dr. Lin thought about it for a while and then ordered: "After the beating, you will be responsible for jumping out and playing the bad guy, and I will be responsible for saying good things and playing the good role."
You are responsible for being in charge, and I am responsible for setting up. This will make my image better."
Brothers Wen and Wu wanted to say that it would be too difficult for you to "establish yourself" while sitting in the palace, unless you put down the iron whip and become a Buddha immediately.
Madam Fan, who had been standing on the outside watching the battle, had a pair of red and phoenix eyes that were shining brightly, and her breathing became quickened unconsciously.
Seeing Dr. Lin acting like a tiger among sheep, and like whipping a child, she was sure that this was the iron whip she needed, ah no, man!
The essence of a society is not to treat guests to dinner, or to paint or embroider, but to violence! It is to compete for interests through violent behavior! A society without violence is just a paper tiger and an empty shelf!
She thinks that her intelligence is sufficient, but what she lacks is violence! And the three-foot iron whip in front of her is enough to make up for her biggest shortcoming!
At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the river, and everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look towards the river.
I saw three ships coming from the direction of the Grand Canal in the east, each with gongs and drums on board, and they sailed noisily into the South Pier.
There were two people standing on the bow of the boat, holding a large plaque together. They were still a little far away and couldn't see the writing on the plaque clearly.
Then someone came ashore and shouted to the people on the pier: "On behalf of the villagers of Shiyidu, we are here to thank Lin Zhuangshi for getting rid of Wu Yikui for eliminating harm to the people! We also present a plaque of Yi Bo Yuntian!"
Someone on the pier pointed in the direction, "Dr. Lin is over there."
The people delivering the plaque walked around the willow trees by the river, looked over, and saw the righteous Lin Zhuangshi holding two murderous weapons, standing tall against the sky and the earth, surrounded by more than a dozen wounded people lying on the ground.
