The mule and horse market was surrounded by two hundred village warriors. Lin Zonghai, the commander of the township camp, learned that the master of the family had crossed the stream and hurriedly came to see him. Lin Zonghai also arrived only a moment earlier than Lin Tingxun. Dexin came in a hurry, with sweat on his forehead.
The traces were not yet dry, and he did not understand the situation. The second young master, Lin Xuzong, was still in Lin Fu's hands. Those fierce foreigners who sold horses helped Lin Fu to keep Xiang Yong away.
A knife was put on the second young master's neck, but Lin Zonghai did not dare to let Xiang Yong go up and rob him.
At this time, more than a dozen lanterns were hung inside and outside the Luoma City. The moonlight in the night sky was also bright, and the Luoma City was as bright as day. All the irrelevant people had been driven out, and there were only two teams left in the wooden fence.
The village soldiers surrounded Lin Fu and the others. When they saw Lin Tingxun approaching, they made way for them.
Lin Tingxun had deep wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were bright. Surrounded by his guards, he walked closer and stared at Lin Fu: "Let me go. If anything happens, tell me. Don't let outsiders laugh."
Of course, Lin Fu would not let Lin Xuzong go easily, and said: "After escaping from Baisha County, I stayed in Tinghu Lake with the boat for a few days. This Lord Wu was selling horses in Tinghu Lake at that time. I thought the village camp was short of horses, why not invite him?
Is he selling horses to Lindu? Unexpectedly, I went to the county today to help. When I came back, I heard that Master Wu was surrounded by people led by Zhao Neng, a beast like Zhao Neng, and was forced to buy and sell in the mule market.
Before settling the score with him, how did he treat the distinguished guest I invited to help the Lin family? Even if I hadn't invited him to Shanglindu, when would the Lin family have forced sales and purchases to the merchants who came to Shanglindu? If the news comes out, it won't be ruined.
The reputation of Shanglinducao City——How can such a slave be polite to him? Even if he is still waiting for the master of the house, I will drag him to the master of the house to ask what happened, not to mention that he has already been sent to the master of the house.
Open. When I was teaching Zhao Neng a lesson, the second young master came up and punched me in the face. I barely got out of the way, but the second young master fell down and fell into the horse manure. He became so angry that people wanted to tie us up again.
River, insulted my deceased parents, and threatened to dig up my family's ancestral graves. I experienced life and death twice in Baisha County, and I understood a truth. Even if you are poor, you can't be bullied. I am no longer the weak kid before I went to Baisha County.
.I don’t want to do anything. I am a son of the Lin family. How can I kill each other? Even if I kill the second young master, what can I do to gain? I just want the second young master to go to the grave of my deceased parents to apologize..."
Lin Fu's words were murderous and majestic. No one here had experienced tribulations, let alone two tribulations in a short period of time. Therefore, it was impossible to know how much a person's temperament would change after experiencing tribulations.
The Lin Fu in front of them was no longer the cowardly Lin Xiucai before. Even though he had no power to tie a chicken, he still dared to majestically let the second-ranking member of the Lin family kneel in front of him and put a knife on his neck, threatening life and death.
Courage, no one here dared to say that they had it.
Lin Tingxun squinted at Lin Fu, and then he really saw that Lin Fu had returned from this trip completely different from before. It was in vain that he kept wondering why he rejected the Nanxi Yuan house yesterday. It turned out that he didn't like that little win over in his heart. He
This courage may be called crazy, but his words are intertwined with each other, linking the fundamental interests of the Lin family with Lin Du's righteousness, and forcing himself in public to punish Zhao Neng, the successor and the family's son, and he also
He established his authority in public, but unexpectedly, the robbery in Baisha County turned out to be a figure in the Lin family. As for whether he is a loyal hound or an ambitious wolf, it is really hard to say now.
Lin Tingxun saw his son Zhao Neng hiding in the crowd, beckoned him over, slapped him in the face, and shouted in a deep voice: "Kneel down, who asked you to buy and sell by force in Luoma City, ruining my Lin family?"
rule?"
Only then did Zhao Neng realize that the foreigners selling horses were actually invited by Lin Fu. He thought to himself, didn't these foreigners just insist that the horses were bought by merchants from Jiangning? Even though everyone knew that he was sent by the Second Young Master.
, Zhao Neng also knew that he had to fight hard not to admit it at this time, otherwise the second young master might be forced to kowtow at Lin Fu's grave to apologize.
Zhao Neng did not dare to resist and knelt down.
Lin Tingxun ordered in a gloomy voice: "Tie him up and send him to the ancestral hall to await his fate."
When someone took the rope to drag Zhao Neng down, Lin Tingxun looked at Lin Fu again, seemingly not seeing Lin Fu's knife still on his son's neck, and said with great relief: "The Lin family lacks responsible children like you.
, I think your parents will also feel gratified under Jiuquan. Since your thoughts are all about the Lin family and you consider everything for the Lin family, why did you refuse my kindness yesterday? This really disappointed me. "
The people around him took a deep breath, thinking that the old clan leader was really powerful. It turned out that he had already valued Lin Xiucai very much.
Lin Fu handed the knife to Zhou Pu, and he let go. In fact, Lin Xunzong was still under Zhou Pu's control. He said to Lin Tingxun, who was already showing his age but still had a hint of wit in his words: "The master of the family takes it seriously. Ancient sayings
"If you haven't made any merit, you won't be rewarded." Lin Fu read the articles of saints and sages. This truth is clear. I haven't made any merit in the Lin family, how can I dare to receive a big reward? When Lin Fu was young, he studied the righteousness of the clan and grew up.
As an adult, you need money from the family to go to Jiangning to take the provincial examination. You are lucky enough to win the exam, and you haven't repaid your family yet. How can you have the dignity to live in a house in Nanxi Plateau?"
The villagers in Shanglin and the Lin family gathered around, and the three clan elders also came one after another. They came over and scolded Lin Fu as usual. After hearing the explanation, they all said that Zhao Neng deserved to be punished, but not the second young master.
Lin Xuzong's problem. Several other wealthy families in the upper forest and lower forest heard the excitement here. Although they couldn't show their joy at the misfortune, they all sent people to wait and see. Lin Tingxun was old and frail, and saw that he would not be able to live for a few years.
, the eldest son Lin Xuwen took over the throne and took up a post in Yanjing, while the youngest son was the youngest. If the second son Lin Xunzong died in an accident, the Lin family would be really lively.
Lin Tingxun seemed to be considering Lin Fu's words. He glanced at his seventh wife from the corner of his eye and saw the concern in her eyes. He frowned slightly and saw that Lin Fu's calmness and deep scheming at this time far exceeded his own.
Anticipating it, I thought how could the successor be willing to endure today's humiliation, and how could this Zhuzi be willing to serve as the successor in the future? If he was allowed to mature, it might become a catastrophe for the Lin family. Lin Tingxun really felt that he was getting old, thinking about himself
He is in his prime, and such a prominent figure has appeared in the clan. It is too late to be happy, so why are there such worries? But now, in front of the Xiangyong clan and other wealthy clans, there is no way to deal with this matter unfairly.
Lin Tingxun then frowned and looked at his second son Lin Xuzong who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "You will be the head of the family in the future. Not to mention Lin Fu's fame, even if you are an ordinary member of the clan, you must give him enough respect.
, you disappoint me so much..." He turned around and ordered the people around him, "Tie up the second young master and send him to the ancestral hall!" Everyone around him looked at each other, the tip of his knife was still pressed against the second young master's neck, what's the matter with the master?
You want them to go up and kidnap someone?
Zhao Hu was quick to recognize the clue. When he saw the look from Lin Fu, he hurriedly took the rope and walked over to tie the hands of the second young master Lin Xuzong behind his back. He tied them tightly and pulled the second young master directly towards the wooden fence. In fact,
He still controlled the second young master in his own hands. No one knew that he was determined to follow Lin Fu. Even the second young master, Lin Xunzong, cooperated very well and allowed him to tie him up.
Lin Jingchang could guess a thing or two. He hesitated for a moment and did not go over to help Zhao Hu escort the second son to the ancestral hall.
Here Zhou Pu also returned the sword to Lin Fu and sheathed it. Crow Wu Qi and the two horse bandits pretending to be horse traders from a foreign land did not need to pretend to be in front of Lin Ting. They still held the sword in their hands vigilantly and pointed towards Lin.
Fu cupped his hands and said: "We believed that Scholar Lin came to Lindu, but today it seems that Scholar Lin alone is not enough to facilitate this deal. Let's take our leave first. If there are any difficulties in the future, please send us a message... We only have six people."
The horses left, and Lin Xiucai was at odds with the tribe for what we did, so the remaining ten horses are left behind in the hope that they can alleviate our guilt a little."
Others were astonished, thinking that Lin Xiucai had such great ability to make friends with such wealthy people. You must know that the second young master offered a price of 3,000 taels for more than ten horses, but they refused to sell. At this time, without saying a word, he said
Ten horses were given to Lin Xiucai for free.
Lin Fu bowed his hand to Wu Qi, the crow, and refused to stay.
Lin Tingxun was not confused at all. What these three people said undoubtedly showed that they had a deep relationship with Lin Fu. At this time, he could give away ten good horses without hesitation. If Lin Fu encountered any difficulties in the future,
, they will never sit idly by, this can be regarded as a disguised threat.
Lin Tingxun also couldn't see the background of these three foreign horse traders. Just looking at the horses they sold and the powerful factions who took action, he knew that the other party was not someone to be trifled with. These horse traders usually sold horses everywhere and gathered crowds.
He is a horse thief. In any case, it is wrong for Xu Zong to buy and sell by force. I don’t understand what Lin Fu will experience in the rest of his life after this disaster.
Lin Ting gave a warning signal to Xiang Yong to get out of the way. Even if these three foreigners had no background, there was no reason to leave them behind when going to Lindu. Watching the three foreigners each riding a horse and leading a horse, they disappeared into the night.
Only the sound of horse hooves "get, get, get" was heard echoing.
The sound of horse hooves completely disappeared in the night, and everyone came back to their senses. Lin Fu, the mastermind of today's trouble, was still standing in the mule and horse market. They didn't know how the Lin clan would deal with this thorn.
Lin Fu did not hesitate. He had to be hard when he should be hard and soft when he should be soft. He could not let Lin Tingxun find excuses to seize the initiative. He held the sword in front of Lin Tingxun and said: "Even if there are many excuses, Lin Fu can't get rid of his impulse."
The failure of the family should not alarm the family leader. Even if the family leader does not punish Lin Fu, Lin Fu will no longer be a disciple of the Lin family and will not be able to stay in Shiliang County... If the family master feels that Lin Fu's crime is unforgivable, this sword is
Lin Fu is willing to offer it."
Lin Tingxun doubted that if he really wanted to get the sword, he would be held hostage by this Zhuzi like Xu Zong. Besides, although Lin Fu sheathed the sword, Zhou Pu was still standing a step away with the sword in his hand.
Lin Tingxun said: "It doesn't matter if you leave Shanglinli temporarily, there is no need to expel yourself from the sect. When you leave Shanglinli, you must remember: As long as the Lin family exists, you are still a descendant of the Lin family..." Lin Fu suddenly showed up today
The sharpness that came shocked him. Lin Tingxun was worried that if Lin Fu stayed in Shanglin, when his wings became full and unstoppable, he might backfire on his sect. Since he wanted to leave, let him fly as far as the sea and sky outside. He would not
You will forget that you are a descendant of the Lin family.
