The dozens of guards each held a tall horse in their hands, and a young man in a black robe was surrounded by a sturdy man. While walking, the young man walked smoothly and had a sense of nobleness as a rich family. Seeing Lin Jingzhi was also there.
Here, he looked surprised and then took a few quick steps. Before he could move forward, he bowed and smiled, "Brother Lin, long time no see, how are you doing lately?"
"Thank you Brother Zheng's blessing, everything is fine." Because it was still early at this time, Lin Jingzhi really didn't expect to meet Zheng Jianqiu at this time. According to the horse's feet, he had to rush from Jiancheng to Luocheng.
It took more than two hours, so that is to say, Zheng Jianqiu was on the way before dawn.
It seems that the situation is indeed not good if Zheng Qiujian is so anxious.
"Huh? What are you doing?" Finally, Zheng Jianqiu felt abnormal and then his face darkened.
Xu Yong has been following Zheng Jianqiu. At this time, he took a step forward and shouted loudly to the soldiers surrounding the Lin family's guards: "My son is the eldest son of General Xuanwei of Liuzhou. Who has the greatest official here? Hurry up
Talk back and forth."
After listening to Xu Yong's introduction, a layer of cold sweat suddenly oozed out of Zhang Xiu's forehead. At the same time, he said with a bitter face that it was really bad luck, why did he meet this ancestor who could not afford to offend!
He just got Yin Lei up and went forward to reply, but after scanning the left and right a few times, Yin Lei had already disappeared. He was the garrison of Luocheng and had never dealt with Zheng Jianqiu before, but Yin
Lei had met Zheng Jianqiu. The last time Zheng Jianqiu was attacked outside the city, Yin Lei was responsible for catching the murderer.
Until today, no clue was found in the attack. Yin Lei dared to meet Zheng Jianqiu? So Yin Lei just saw clearly that the person was the eldest son of the Zheng family, so he mingled in the crowd and ran away.
'Bah, what a bad guy!' Zhang Xiu saw Yin Lei not even calling him, so he ran away without saying goodbye. He cursed in his heart, and then did not dare to take it off. He quickly bent over and met him, clasped his fists and replied: "
The lower official was the garrison of Luo City and had met Mr. Zheng."
"Hmph!" Zheng Jianqiu shook his sleeves and glanced at him coldly. A small guard of Luocheng was not worthy of his attention. Then he put Zhang Xiu aside and looked at Lin Jingzhi
, asked, "Brother, what happened here? Is there someone going to be bad for you? Let's talk about it and make the decision for you!"
Since seeing Zheng Jianqiu, Lin Jingzhi's mind has started to work quickly, thinking about what to do to completely calm this matter. Now that Zheng Jianqiu is protecting him, the officials in Luocheng dare not do anything to him, but Zheng Jianqiu
What if they leave? Or will the Zheng family and the Lin family no longer have mutual exploitation links and no longer protect the Lin family?
At that time, Wang Mengding would bring up the old things again and make things difficult for him. As his eyes turned, he glanced coldly at the young man kneeling on the ground. This man must die!
Only when all the parties involved die, Zheng Jianqiu helps to draw a conclusion can this matter be considered to be truly revealed. Otherwise, if this person falls into Wang Meng's hands, it would be bad. You must know that this young man is afraid of death.
It's so easy to make him redeem his confession.
So many people died in this incident. If Wang Meng framed him with this incident and let the young man bite the Lin family, then the Lin family and himself would be really finished.
"Brother Zheng, that's the case. Just now..." Lin Jingzhi first deliberately coughed lightly, and then took advantage of the moment of lowering his head, secretly winked Aunt Yu, and used the index finger and middle finger hidden in his right hand to do it.
After a paper-cutting action, he said carefully what had just been born.
Zheng Jianqiu was shocked at first when he heard that the people who were hacked to death were bandits, but then he thought that a large area of locust plague broke out in the north, and the bandits probably had no way to survive, so he felt relieved because Lin Jingzhi did not tell him.
These officers and soldiers formed a circle to capture everyone from the Lin family. He looked at Zhang Xiu and said, "Mr. Zhang, the second son of the Lin family is a hero and righteous man, and eliminates harm to the people. He is the example of the whole people!"
"Mr. Zheng said so much. When the officials return to the yamen, they will definitely report this matter to Lord Wang. When Lord Wang is happy, in order to commend the Lin family, he may not be given a squadron to the Lin family.
A plaque of righteousness.”
After being left aside for a long time, Zhang Xiu only dared to curse in his heart. When he saw Zheng Jianqiu asking him, he quickly replied respectfully.
Zheng Jianqiu is not a fool. Just looking at the posture here, you know that Zhang Xiu must be attacking the Lin family. He also heard about it, knowing that Wang Meng and the Lin family seem to be in a wrong way.
However, the worse the situation of the Lin family was, the better the situation was for him. The Lin family had some support for the Zheng family, so that he would be better at borrowing money from the Lin family in the future.
He waved his hand gently and said, "Since that's the case, then you can quickly pull this person down and question him to see if there are any of his accomplices here..."
"Ah" However, just as he was halfway through, the young man suddenly jumped up from the ground and shouted. Then, he saw a guard of the Lin family standing next to the young man, shouting anxiously, "He is going to run away!
”
Then he raised his hand and cut off the young man's head.
"puff"
Blood shot out like a fountain at the broken neck of the young man, forming a blood mist in the air. After falling, it dyed the earth red, and its head fell not far away, rolling around for a few rounds, overwhelming a piece of green grass
.
From the young man suddenly jumping up and then to the Lin family guards cutting his head off, they were all done in an instant. After everyone reacted, the bandits were all dead and had no living.
Zhang Xiu was just a little stunned, and his face changed drastically. Although he didn't know why the young man suddenly jumped up, it was not difficult to guess that the Lin family deliberately wanted to silence him without leaving any trouble.
Zheng Jianqiu was also stunned, then looked at Lin Jingzhi thoughtfully and said, "What a brave bandit. I still want to escape now. It's so worthless!"
"What Mr. Zheng said is that the bandit is indeed worthy of death." At this point, Zhang Xiu could only agree with a bitter face.
Seeing that there were no future troubles, Lin Jingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and secretly gave Aunt Yu a thumbs up to express his praise. Then he walked warmly to Zheng Jianqiu, "Since he received a letter from Brother Zheng, my brother
I have been looking forward to leaving, and I will go home with me first and drink a few glasses of wine. Don’t let this group of bandits disturb the interest of our brothers meeting again.”
"Okay, let's go and have a drink!" Zheng Jianqiu responded happily, and then walked towards the city gate side by side with Lin Jingzhi. Before coming to Luocheng, he was worried that his father would ask him to borrow a little more silver, but now it seems that
Well, this doesn't seem to be difficult to deal with.
Xu Yong followed Zheng Jianqiu closely. Seeing Aunt Yu also walked up, he quickly bent his waist and fell behind half a position. Since he suffered a lot from Aunt Yu's hands last time, he has been quite afraid of this woman.
.
Moreover, he just saw Aunt Yu throw out a steel needle and stab it into the thigh of the previous young man. The steel needle flew very quickly, and he really didn't have the confidence to avoid it!
Back at Lin's mansion, Lin Jingzhi ordered the servants to serve wine and food, and started a warm conversation with Xu Yong. Aunt Yu said goodbye before she entered the restaurant. She just stepped into her yard and saw a new place on the roof.
A carrier pigeon landed on a bird's nest with a strange shape. This was the secret guard of the Lin family contacted her.
After looking around, she walked aside and learned the strange bird's cry. When the dove heard the sound, it spread its wings and flew down.
Holding the pigeon with your hands, taking off the note tied to the pigeon, opening it, and after looking closely, she left the Lin Mansion again. It turned out that Yang Wei gathered all the secret guards of the Lin family scattered nearby.
Let her go and see her.
While walking, she recalled the last time when Yang Wei heard Lin Jingzhi's order to take over the affairs of the secret guard, she was dissatisfied. She gently tilted the corners of her mouth, and then rubbed her fingers hard for a few times. The piece of paper
It turned into debris and sprinkled gently like snowflakes.
In the restaurant, Zheng Jianqiu and Lin Jingzhi drank a few glasses of water and chatted for a while. Suddenly, their eyes turned and they deliberately lowered their voices and said, "My brother, it's really a turbulent autumn recently. A large area of locust plague has just exploded in the north. Now
Another big thing is about to be born!”
"Oh? What's the matter?" Lin Jingzhi waved his hand and signaled that all the maids who were waiting aside to retreat.
He gave Xu Yong a wink and asked him to go out the door to let the wind. Zheng Jianqiu put his hand beside his mouth and said carefully: "My brother, I have received reliable news for you. When Zi heard that a large area of locust plague broke out in the north today
, the bleeding continued to stop, and several imperial physicians were helpless and risked their lives to give the emperor a deadline for ascension to heaven!"
"Ah? Take this matter seriously?" Although Lin Jingzhi had known the news for a long time, he still asked in surprise.
Zheng Jianqiu replied: "Take it seriously! And the imperial doctor said that the emperor would never survive today!"
"Hiss!" Lin Jingzhi took a breath.
Seeing this, Zheng Jianqiu was very satisfied with Lin Jingzhi's reaction. He picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. After chewing for a while, he said: "Now there is a large-scale locust plague in the north, and countless hungry people have been starved to death. The court is unable to provide relief.
On the border, the stabbing people were staring at the side, and the army was frequently mobilized. Now it was the time when the dynasty was in turmoil, and the emperor was about to return to heaven again, alas!"
At the end, Zheng Jianqiu sighed lightly, looking worried about the country and the people.
"What should I do?" Lin Jingzhi had thought of these things for a long time, but to be honest, he really didn't want to see the Daqian Dynasty fall into a slump or even fall, otherwise no one would have taken care of it, and Tian Ji Wang was in the area
Can't he become a local emperor? By then, the situation of the Lin family would be even worse.
"Oh, this is a major event in the court. What can we do if we fight against the people!" Zheng Jianqiu put the bamboo chopsticks back on the table and said, "It's just that the common people have suffered. Along the way, I have seen many starving deaths.
Refugees on the roadside!"
Lin Jingzhi sighed softly when he heard this. When talking about the people who fled, he really couldn't bear it. Those were all flesh and blood people, and they were starved to death!
"Respect me, you and I are as close as brothers, and I don't go against you in any way. In fact, I came here this time to ask for something!" Zheng Jianqiu finally got to the point.
It's just money. Lin Jingzhi has been mentally prepared for a long time, but now he wants the Zheng family to ask for something. Only in this way can the two families use each other openly under the guise of the Zheng family.
, dealing with Tian Ji, Wang Meng and others.
Moreover, when the dynasty was unstable, the generals in charge of the army were obviously much more powerful than the senior officials who managed government affairs.
"What's wrong with Brother Zheng? Even if I can do it, I will be absolutely absolutely right!"
"Okay, my brother is really quick to speak. In fact, I just want to..."
As soon as Zheng Jianqiu was about to express his intention, he suddenly heard a voice outside the door, "Jingzhi, respect it, I'll come to see you for my brother!"
Hearing the call outside the door, Lin Jingzhi was slightly stunned, then stood up quickly, walked towards the gate, and went out.dd
