It may be too late, but it may be too soon. If an ordinary person were here, there is a high probability that he would be too frightened to react in time and be knocked away by the horse.
However, Lin Daguan, who has experienced many battles, has outstanding reaction ability. He is very angry at the moment - no matter who encounters this kind of thing, he will be angry, but he still maintains a basic calm consciousness.
Immediately, he jumped quickly to avoid the horse's head-on collision, and then subconsciously stretched out his hands, giving full play to his height advantage, and grabbed the horse's reins.
"Ha!" The angry official Lin shouted loudly, pulled the reins, and tried hard to pull back to his side.
The veins in the arms hidden under the big sleeves popped out, and they were instantly filled with what seemed like a thousand pounds of strength.
Originally, the horse was running forward, but suddenly it was pulled by such a huge force, which immediately produced huge inertia.
The horse's head has been pulled to the side, but its body is still rushing forward.
As a result, under the huge inertia, the tall horse tilted directly, and the knight on the horse immediately fell to the ground with a crash, splashing dust half a person's height.
As the horse fell to the ground, the crowd near the city gate looked horrified and all exclaimed.
What everyone saw was that the majestic man directly pulled down the galloping horse, which was extremely visual impact!
As someone who lives at the foot of the Emperor, he is well-informed and has heard many extremely exaggerated stories of bravery from storytelling novels.
But it was the first time I witnessed this scene of hands knocking down a galloping horse. It was as if the macho man in the novel suddenly appeared in the real world. It was more than shocking.
The rider on the horse was not thrown out because his feet were hung in the stirrups, and he fell together with the horse.
At this time, the knight was hit hard on the ground, and one of his legs was directly crushed by the horse.
Only then did Senior Officer Lin see clearly that this knight was quite old, and looked to be in his fifties.
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, it was so disrespectful for me to be so old, and to run wildly in a crowded place like the city gate.
At this time, the entourage of the old knight gathered around and shouted in panic: "Where did this vicious person come from, daring to kill Uncle Chengyi!"
Lin Tailai: "."
Although there are many nobles and lords in the capital, there are not so many that he crippled a count just after entering the city gate, right?
Also, shouldn't Uncle Chengyi be in Nanjing? Why did he show up in the capital? And he rode his horse against him?
Other than that, Lin Daguan didn't have much ideas.
Although Chengyi Bo is knighted by Liu Bowen, the famous Liu Bowen in the novel, what is his relationship with him, the official Lin?
At this time, regardless of the pain, Uncle Chengyi pointed at Lin Tailai and cursed: "Lin thief! You and I are incompatible with each other!"
Official Lin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, this Uncle Chengyi actually knew him?
Could it be that it was not an accident that he was nearly hit, but that this man of sincerity did it on purpose?
To be honest, Lin Daguan has not seen many idiots since time travel, but this sincere uncle in front of him is definitely one of them.
Apart from stupidity, Lin Daguan could not find any other word to describe this earl.
Even if there is some resentment, is it too domineering to ride a horse in the streets of the capital to trample on a Jie Yuan who is rushing to take the exam?
Fortunately, I reacted quickly. This sincere man was still half disabled even if he didn't die, which was retribution.
As a person who is ready to hug the chief minister's thigh, if you are afraid of such a rubbish sincerity, then don't hang out in the capital!
Therefore, Lin Daguan had no idea that he had caused the accident and turned around and left.
But none of Cheng Yibo's followers were willing to let anyone go. Except for a few who went to rescue people, the remaining dozen or so surrounded the official Lin.
Zuo Dharma Protector Zhang Wen quickly asked Lin Tailai for instructions: "What should we do?"
If you are in Suzhou City, you don't need to ask for instructions, just prepare to form a formation and start fighting.
But this is the capital city at the feet of the emperor, and Zhang Wen can't make up his mind, so he needs to ask for instructions first to clarify his response ideas.
Lin Tailai snorted coldly: "We are running rampant in Suzhou, what is our greatest confidence?"
Zhang Wen didn't know what he meant when he suddenly asked this question. After careful consideration, he answered very appropriately: "The biggest confidence is that he is wise and martial."
Lin Daguan sighed: "This is a subjective factor, but this time I am asking about objective factors."
The outspoken Right Protector Zhang Wu said in surprise: "Isn't it because sitting in the palace is tightly tied to the Shen Mansion?"
"The answer is correct!" Lin Tailai said: "In Suzhou City, we are more than two thousand miles away from Shen, and we still dare to pretend to be powerful.
Now that we have arrived in the capital, and we are so close to Prime Minister Shen, are we going to have to tie our hands and feet instead?"
Zhang Wen: "."
This logic left Protector Zuo speechless. He could only silently take out the iron whip from his bag and hand it to Lin Zuiguan.
So the people in the capital who had just recovered from the shock of "power can turn a horse over" once again saw an unforgettable scene.
I saw the majestic man holding two whips and beating more than a dozen people at one time, once again recreating a scene that can only be seen in novels.
However, several of the macho man's followers just stood around and watched the excitement, as if the macho master was fighting a dozen enemies without any help at all.
After dozens of breaths, Uncle Chengyi's followers fell to the ground, unable to get up just like their lord master.
Official Lin put away his whips and said to the men: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, get on your horse and leave!"
Mounting a horse, of course, refers to the horses of Cheng Yibo's followers.
When he was in Suzhou City, Lin Daguan's close followers all trained to ride horses in case of emergencies.
After hearing the instructions, everyone did not hesitate, each grabbed a horse, fixed the luggage containing the silver, and rode away.
Passersby nearby saw Lin Daguan leaving and couldn't help but feel a little scratched.
Who is this tough guy who looks like he jumped out of a novel? Why didn't he tell himself his name and origin to clear up everyone's doubts?
According to the normal plan, Mr. Lin will first go to the Sanwu Guild Hall in the southeast of the city to check in today.
Originally there were guys who had arrived at the front station. They had already brought most of their luggage and settled in the guild hall in the capital in advance.
But unexpectedly, an accident occurred at the gate of the city, so Lin Tailai had to change his plan and go to the first assistant's house to get a tip first.
Otherwise, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to move around in the capital.
Although the specific address of Shen Mansion is not yet known, anyone who knows something about the layout of the capital knows that the chief minister must live in Xicheng.
Therefore, Lin Tailai and his party rode quickly through Qipan Street and arrived at Xicheng, and then they inquired as they walked.
At this moment, an army of officers suddenly appeared behind them and followed them in hot pursuit.
Zhang Wu, the right protector, couldn't help but muttered: "It's troublesome in the capital. I just beat a dozen people, but they are still being chased by the army."
Lin Tailai was not surprised by this. After all, this was the capital, with numerous security agencies ranging from factory security agents to the Five-City Troops and Horses Division, patrol battalions, and more.
If you cripple a count in public and the officers and soldiers don't respond, it means that the entire guard system has completely failed.
However, official Lin did not panic and shouted to the back: "I am a guest of the Shen family in Suzhou, and I am going to visit the chief minister Shen's mansion today!"
Suddenly, the officers and soldiers no longer pursued him so closely, but just followed him leisurely.
Lin Daguan quickly continued to search for the road and found the very conspicuous Shen Mansion in Xiaoyongfang.
The first assistant, Shen Shixing, was well received by the emperor. He was given many rewards and a large mansion.
Official Lin stood up and dismounted outside Zhumen, and the officers and soldiers behind him also surrounded him, blocking Lin Tailai and his party outside the gate of Shen Mansion.
If the strong man who killed Uncle Cheng Yi had nothing to do with the Shen Mansion, he would probably have to be captured on the spot.
Before Lin Tai came up to call the door, he saw a middle-aged man walking out of the door first. This was probably the door of Shen Mansion. He was alerted by the movement outside.
The middle-aged disciple first looked at the situation outside the door in confusion, and then shouted unceremoniously at the officers and soldiers: "You soldiers, what do you mean by surrounding here!"
At this time, a square-faced military attache in the army, who was in his thirties but not forty years old, also got off his horse. He had a dark complexion and looked quite strong.
The square-faced military attache pointed at Lin Tailai and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "I am the patrolling governor Li Rusong, and I am chasing this person. I wonder if this person has anything to do with your government?"
Lin Daguan, who was about to make friends with Menpan, couldn't help but turn his head and look at the military attache after hearing this. The density of famous people in the capital was really high, and you could bump into one within a few steps.
It turns out that this is the eldest son of Li Chengliang, the leader of Liaodong. Li Rusong, who fought in two of the three major Wanli expeditions in the future, is said to have been apprenticed to Xu Wenchang back then.
Of course, Li Rusong was still hanging around in the capital at the moment, and from what he reported, he seemed to be in charge of the patrol camp in the capital.
The so-called patrol battalions are officers and soldiers deployed in the capital specifically for patrolling the streets and catching thieves.
Look at Li Rusong's way of doing things, which is much better than that stupid sincerity just now.
The middle-aged disciple of Shen Mansion looked at Lin Tailai and was also confused.
Lin Daguan introduced himself and said: "I am Lin Tailai from Wu County. I am a friend of Mr. Jia Er of your mansion and a disciple of the Shen family in Wu County."
