Zhou Ping hurriedly walked into the hall, and Wang Lin greeted him.
"Zhou Dutou!"
"Brother Mu Bai, Zhou Xiu has been making some moves these past two days. Someone got some news..."
Zhou Ping was worried and whispered in Wang Lin's ear. Wang Lin's face became increasingly cold.
"Brother Wang Lin, you have a lot of money now, but you are not as knowledgeable as this evil thief. I think it is better for you to take the young lady to Chao Daguan's residence in Yuncheng County for a while, so as not to cause trouble in vain!"
What Zhou Ping was worried about was simply Zhou Xiu's ruthless tactics. In addition, he had strong backers in Dongping Mansion. Even the county magistrate couldn't do anything to him. Although Wang Lin had excellent martial arts skills and was known as a tiger-fighting hero, he was still a commoner.
If you fight against these evil thieves, you will always suffer a loss.
"Zhou Dutou, I finally see the world clearly. The officialdom is dark and the people are in dire straits!"
"When there is a bully like Zhou Xiu in official clothes in Qinghe County, the ordinary people in Shengdou can only admit that they are unlucky. I understand Zhou Dutou's good intentions, but in this world, Zhou Xiu has a lot of power, so I will avoid Zhou Xiu this time.
What should we do if we encounter such evil people again in the future?"
"Continue to avoid it? In this vast world, where is the best place to live and settle down?!"
"If that's the case, then why hide? Instead of just sitting back and waiting for death, it's better to take advantage of the situation and kill the beast on the spot, which can eliminate harm to the people!" Wang Lin said solemnly.
Zhou Ping's expression changed: "I know that killing him is like killing a pig or a dog, but if I kill him, his uncle Meng Jiu, the general magistrate of Dongping Mansion, will not let it go. If my brother gets a lawsuit for this, it will be really unworthy."
Already."
Wang Lin clasped his fists: "Don't worry, Zhou Dotou, I will never do anything illegal."
…
evening.
Xinghua Tower.
The county magistrate of the Song Dynasty held a banquet here in honor of the tiger-fighting hero Wang Lin, a junior official. The banquet was attended by all the leaders of the county, including the county captain Zhou Xiu, Qiangu master Hu Zhen, and the governor Zhou Ping.
Magistrate Song personally greeted him at the door of the restaurant. When Wang Lin saw this, he clasped his fists and saluted, "I have met the magistrate!"
Magistrate Song laughed: "Qinghe County has young heroes like Xiao Guanren who kill tigers to eliminate harm to the people and benefit the countryside. How proud of this county! This county has reported it to Dongping Prefecture, and there will be awards from Dongping Prefecture soon."
It’s so gratifying to come down!”
"Mu Bai is very grateful for the support from the county magistrate."
As a person in the system of modern society, Wang Lin is familiar with these polite words in official circles, and he can pick them up at his fingertips. How could he be promoted within four or five years of joining the police force if he was not well-versed in human relations.
Zhou Xiuyi strode forward wearing an official robe. This man had a sallow face and thin muscles, his arms were above his knees. He had a strange appearance and would attract attention wherever he went.
Song Zhixian glanced at Zhou Xiu, with a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes, but then looked at Wang Lin and smiled: "Zhou County Lieutenant is also good at martial arts, and this time he will spend more time with minor officials!"
Zhou Xiu laughed so hard that he even clasped his fists at Wang Lin and said, "What the magistrate said is that I didn't know the power of the little hero the day before yesterday. I didn't mean to offend Hu Xu. Today I made a special trip to apologize to the little official!"
Wang Lin said calmly: "You are so polite, Lieutenant Zhou County!"
Later, Zhou Xiu pretended to persuade Wang Lin to drink wine one after another, but Wang Lin refused to accept anyone who came.
Others took turns to propose toasts, and he also drank until the wine was dry.
After three rounds of drinking, she was already very drunk. Seeing that he was hooking up with Zhou Ping through the drunkenness, wandering around looking for someone to drink with, Zhou Xiu's lips turned into a sinister sneer.
Until late at night, the banquet ended happily.
Under the cover of night, Zhou Xiu stood at the door of Xinghua Tower, smelling of alcohol, watching the Li family's servants carrying the drunken Wang Lin back home in a hurry, then the smile disappeared from his face and he waved fiercely.
"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful about the fire!"
The old watchman banged his wooden clapper and walked boredly through the dark night streets.
More than a dozen masked men in black, holding torches, suddenly rushed from all directions and surrounded the Wang family's mansion in the blink of an eye.
The leading man in black put a tiger hook on the courtyard wall, quickly climbed up, jumped into the courtyard silently and opened the heavy door.
The men in black roared in and roared in.
…
The night is deep and the moon is high in the sky.
The Wang family was silent and strange, as if it were an empty house. Even though so many men in black broke in and ran around, no one came out.
Not to mention that Pan Jinlian, the wife of the Wang family, was nowhere to be found, even Wang Lin, who was drunk and sleeping, was nowhere to be found.
The leading man in black's expression changed, and he immediately blew a whistle and led everyone to retreat.
But under the hazy moonlight, he saw a young man in blue shirt blocking the front yard with his head held high, a bright silver spear in his hand glowing with cold light.
The man in black knew something was wrong, and was about to call his subordinates to flee, when they heard Wang Lin suddenly roar, and the thunder on the ground shook the night sky: "You Liangshan bandits, how dare you attack Qinghe County at night? You should be killed!!"
Wang Lin used the skill Tiger Roar to roar, and the effect can be imagined.
Qinghe County was originally a small town, but the sound waves penetrated the quiet night and instantly alarmed all the residents of Qinghe County.
Zhou Ping, the captain who led the men to ambush at the street entrance, was stunned.
This is completely inconsistent with the planned plan. Could it be that something went wrong out of thin air? It was not Zhou Xiu's people but the Liangshan bandits who entered the city at night and caused trouble for Wang Lin again?
Although it was still early for the 108 people to gather in Liangshanbo at this time, thousands of bandits had gathered and continued to rob passing merchants, which was a major disaster in Shandong.
Zhou Ping did not dare to neglect, and immediately led a dozen government officials to attack the Wang family.
Although they came quickly, they were still half a step too late.
They could only see the last figure of Wang Lin holding a spear like a divine dragon waving its tail, stabbing left and right. As his spear reached, the last two men in black were also pierced through the throat, and they twitched without even letting out a scream.
He stretched his body and breathed out.
The air was filled with an astonishing smell of blood.
Zhou Ping gasped repeatedly, and his voice trembled when he saw the black corpses on the ground: "Brother Xian, you..."
Zhou Xiu gathered rural soldiers to break into Wang's house at night and publicly rob Pan Jinlian. As a result, Zhou Ping heard the news about Wang Lin, so he went to report the news to Wang Lin.
The two had originally discussed a plan. Wang Lin pretended to be drunk, and Zhou Ping led the government officials to ambush outside. They captured Zhou Xiu's men and then testified against Zhou Xiu. Although they could not really convict Zhou Xiu, they could always give him some warning.
However, Wang Lin did not act according to the script at all!
He actually killed all Zhou Xiu's people!
Wang Lin exuded almost substantial murderous intent, and blood was still dripping from the tip of the spear. He held the gun in one hand and said calmly: "Zhou Dutou, these people are Liangshan gangsters. They broke into my house at night and attacked me in every possible way.
I have no choice but to choose self-defense."
At the critical juncture when he would be counter-killed if he didn't kill, Wang Lin would never be indecisive. However, this group of thieves were just ordinary soldiers, and the bonus to his force value was almost nonexistent.
Zhou Ping could not help but feel fear in his heart.
Only then did he realize that the young tiger-fighting hero in front of him was more decisive than he had imagined.
Since Wang Lin insisted that he was a Liangshan bandit and had no proof, what else could he say?
But Wang Lin said again: "Dutou, there are two more Liangshan bandits who have escaped. I will chase them here. Please inform the county magistrate to quickly defend the county!"
Before Zhou Ping could react, Wang Lin disappeared into the night carrying a bright silver spear.
Zhou Ping stayed for a moment, then left a few people to guard the scene, and then followed him with the rest.
