Chapter 62 Gao Qiu hosted a banquet for the martial arts competition
Now Gao Yanei is like an anxious mad dog, forcing the helper Lu Ping to have no choice. He doesn't want to repeat the mistake of his brother Lu Qian who died unexpectedly, so Lu Ping suppresses a stupid idea and sends people to secretly nail him.
In front of Wang Lin's house, monitor all movements.
He believed that Zhang Zhenniang's disappearance was directly related to Wang Lin.
Sure enough, after two days of watching, it was fruitful. When Zhang Zhenniang and Jin'er secretly entered Wang Lin's house, the news had already reached Lu Ping.
Of course, Lu Ping did not have the guts to break into Wang Lin's house and rob someone. He followed him to Wangyue Tower and felt that it was enough. Then he waved his hand and the evil slaves from Gao Qiu's house rushed out and surrounded Zhang Zhenniang and the two girls in the street.
Zhang Zhenniang's face was bleak, but she was not panicked. She angrily shouted: "Lu Ping, you are robbing civilian girls in public, do you still have the law in your eyes?"
King's Fa? With King's Fa, there would be no Gao Yanei!
Lu Ping sneered: "Mrs. Zhang, listen to the next advice, come back with us, and be a concubine in my yamen. Wealth and wealth are indispensable to you. If you still push back and resist, don't blame me for being rude.
Already."
Zhang Zhenniang knew that she would not be able to escape this time, so she took out a dagger from her long sleeve, pointed it at her throat with a trembling hand, and said loudly: "You are a thief, you are helping the emperor as a nemesis, I would rather die than obey!"
Here we go again...
Lu Ping curled his lips. He was on guard and immediately winked at the two evil slaves. The two men walked around from behind and snatched the dagger from Zhang Zhenniang's hand. Then they grabbed her arm and twisted it to the carriage.
"My wife! Don't arrest my wife! Help!"
Jin'er cried and wiped her tears and rushed to stop her, but was slapped hard by an evil slave and staggered.
Zhao Fujin grew up in the palace and had a simple mind. When he saw such a legendary bully robbing a common girl, he was furious. He jumped out and shouted: "Whose dog slaves are you? How dare you rob a common girl in broad daylight!
Ben...stop it!"
When the royal concubine opened her mouth, she was naturally domineering.
There were many people watching on the street, but who would dare to meddle in other people's business, knowing that they were from Taiwei Gao's house? Lu Ping was directing people to take Zhang Zhenniang back for business, when he saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl suddenly appear and give instructions.
He spoke rudely and hindered his work, which made him very angry.
Seeing Zhao Fujin's bright eyes, white teeth, and good looks, he had another evil idea.
Lu Ping rolled his eyes and ordered Zhao Fujin to be captured together with his life. If the yamen didn't like it, they could reward him.
Zhao Fujin was tied up by the evil slaves, and he and Zhang Zhenniang were taken into Gao Qiu's Mansion and temporarily imprisoned in the woodshed in the inner courtyard.
Zhao Fujin was born into a noble family and had never experienced such a change in life. Little did she know that the world outside the palace was not only the flowers and delicacies she saw in her eyes, but also the darkness and filth hidden in the open and secret. She was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.
She burst into tears and repeatedly shouted that she was the Emperor Maode of the Song Dynasty, but no one believed her crazy words. She screamed so hard that a piece of cloth was stuffed into her mouth.
As for the maid Jin'er, because of her ordinary appearance, Lu Ping was too lazy to let her go, so he ordered the evil slave to punch and kick her until she was knocked unconscious on the street and abandoned her.
The melon-eaters who were watching sighed and shook their heads and dispersed.
In recent years, there have been so many good girls from good families who have been snatched into the house by Gao Yanei and ruined, and their families do not even dare to appeal.
Jin'er stumbled and cried all the way into Wang Lin's house.
"Sir, please save my wife!" Jin'er cried loudly.
Wang Lin took a deep breath, stood up and helped Jin'er up, "Miss Jin'er, don't cry yet, let me think of a solution."
At this time, Yu Hou from Gao Qiu's residence came to issue an invitation, saying that Gao Qiu was hosting a banquet in Taiwei's residence to entertain the top ten candidates for the martial arts examination.
Wang Lin guessed that Gao Qiu's banquet would not be a good one, but after repeated consideration, he decided to go to Gao's house for the banquet as requested, and also to find out the whereabouts of Zhang Zhenniang to see if he could find an opportunity to rescue her.
…
Gao Taiwei's Mansion.
This is one of the magnificent mansions in Bianliang City, Tokyo. It occupies a very large area and has a deep courtyard. Its size is second only to Cai Jing's Taishi Mansion.
Gao Qiu actually greeted the guests in front of the mansion in person.
Wang Lin and Ma Kuo arrived one after another, Pan Ming also galloped over on a white horse, and Gao Qiu stood on the steps with a smile on his face, dressed in a blue robe.
In fact, Gao Qiu not only had a good appearance, he was also good at writing and kicking.
Otherwise, he would not have been favored by Zhao Ji in the first place.
Pan Ming glanced at Wang Lin coldly, cupped his fists and said, "Pan Ming has met Lieutenant Gao!"
Wang Lin and Ma Kuo also had to bow in front of them: "I have met Captain Gao!"
Gao Qiu laughed heartily, "You don't have to be polite, please come in!"
The three of them followed Gao Qiu into the Taiwei Mansion.
After that, other candidates who entered the top ten also came one after another. Only Cai Dong caught Wang Lin's attention. This man was strong-backed, taciturn, and had a force value similar to Ma Kuo.
The banquet was held in the main hall of the Taiwei Mansion, where Gao Qiu usually entertained guests.
These specifications and attention made the face-saving Pan Ming very satisfied, but Wang Lin became more and more vigilant.
Gao Qiu smiled politely, treated others gently, and did not have any pretensions to being a prince of the dynasty.
He earnestly persuaded him to drink one after another. Although Ma Kuo was on guard, he still couldn't resist the superior Gao Qiu who personally persuaded him to drink. After three rounds of drinking, he became 70% to 80% drunk. His legs were so weak that he could no longer stand still.
Pan Ming's drinking capacity was average, and he soon became extremely drunk. He looked at Wang Lin with evil eyes.
It's just that Wang Lin has no intention of paying attention to this good guy at the moment.
It is said that something abnormal is a monster. He concluded that Gao Qiu must have a trick this time. The string in his heart was always tight, but he pretended to be drunk and fell down.
Gao Qiu stood up, laughed and raised his glass and said: "These three are all good at martial arts, riding and shooting, but why do they become cowards when it comes to drinking? They are young and strong, with strong energy and blood, but they are not as good as me!"
Gao Qiu waved his hand again and said: "Come here, help these three people to the backyard to rest for a while. When they wake up, come back and drink again!"
He then said to Cai Dong and others: "Everyone, let's continue. Let's drink to our heart's content today and make sure we don't get drunk."
"No, thank you very much, Lieutenant!" Cai Dong and others handed over as a gift.
Gao Qiu laughed heartily.
…
Several domestic servants and maids came forward to help Ma Kuo and Pan Ming away. When it was Wang Lin's turn, a man in a white shirt came up.
A glimmer of coldness flashed across Wang Lin's narrowed eyes, and it turned out to be Lu Ping, the assistant in Gao Yameni!
Wang Lin pretended not to know and continued to pretend to be drunk, allowing Lu Ping to help him walk to the backyard.
Now that it's here, let's make peace with it. Let's see what tricks Gao Qiu and his son are going to play.
In fact, he had wronged Gao Qiu.
Today's banquet was actually held by Gao Qiu according to the order, and it was also his usual practice.
In every martial arts competition, he would hold a private banquet to win over and cultivate promising martial arts students as his confidants, and this time was no exception.
It just so happened that the emperor also came with a message.
Zhao Ji's original intention was to ease the relationship between Gao Qiu and Wang Lin and avoid further disputes.
In fact, most of Gao Qiu's dislike for Wang Lin came from Gao Yanei. In the final analysis, there was no deep hatred. Since the emperor came to mediate, he just went with the flow and followed the trend.
Moreover, news came out from the palace that Wang Lin was now highly valued by the emperor and was secretly designated as the emperor's disciple. Gao Qiu felt that he could not commit a deadly feud with a close confidant of the future emperor.
It's not necessary.
This is Gao Qiu's true mentality.
So the problem still lies with Gao Yanei.
Thinking of Gao Yanei's hateful face, a murderous intention flashed through Wang Lin's heart.
