Chapter 21 Self-assertion
Scarface smiled silently, the scars on his face eerie in the light of the torches.
Lin Wan's eyes did not dodge, looking at the Scarface, his expression was calm, Ying Ying bowed, and said slowly: "Senior Meng, the junior is so polite." Our sisters only followed our grandmother to Lin San Temple to burn incense, and we had neither men nor money. I wonder why my predecessors came from?"
Lin Wan expected it to be good, this person was the three leaders of Mengjiabao, but this time he brought people out to kidnap people without permission, and he didn't want anyone to know his identity. I saw that he didn't answer, his eyes narrowed, and two cold lights shot out, approaching Lin Wan.
Lin Wan's face did not change, he kept smiling, and continued: "Mengjiabao has been based on Lock Throat Mountain for decades, has strict rules, is deeply admired by the people, and has never done any evil deeds against chivalry. The younger generation expected that the Meng seniors must have been deceived by traitors before they would go out of the mountain and come to this quiet place of Buddhism to do this kidnapping and extortion. The younger generation dared to guess that the treacherous villain didn't have an enmity with you and deliberately ruined your reputation, right? ”
Meng San's face was a little unbearable, his brows furrowed, and he was noncommittal.
Lin Wan beat the drum in his heart, but his face was not shown at all, he stood in the encirclement generously, calmly faced Meng San, and said with a smile: "However, since the heroes are here, of course they can't run in vain, and they don't have to arrest our five sisters, five thousand taels of silver will not be less, the Lin family will definitely send someone to Lock Throat Mountain, just as our sisters invite the heroes to drink tea, senior Meng, what do you think?"
Lin Wan's words not only gave Meng Jiabao enough face, but also gave enough silver. Meng San's family was originally seeking wealth, and he was no longer embarrassed by Lin Wan, he laughed, looked at Mrs. Lin, and said, "Mrs. Lin, what do you say? Five thousand taels of silver is nothing to the Lin family, right? Or, should you take one or two of your granddaughters with you to be safer?"
Old Madam Lin gritted her teeth and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the Lin family will not lose the silver of Meng San's family." ”
Meng San smiled and arched his hand: "Meng believes in Mrs. Lin, if Mrs. Lin doesn't want today's incident to spread to the capital and let the people in the city see the jokes of the Lin family, please ask Mrs. Lin to send the silver within three days, and Meng is waiting in Lock Throat Mountain." ”
After speaking, Meng San waved his hand, and the people of Meng Jiabao quickly retreated behind him, and they were clean in an instant.
Meng Laosan is strong in martial arts, but he is a straight man, and he is jealous and hateful, and he likes to drink and gamble all his life. A few days ago, he lost all his money in a gambling house in Kyoto, and the shopkeeper not only lent him money to turn over his book, but also invited him to drink. During the banquet, the shopkeeper of the gambling house talked about Prime Minister Lin's arrogance, bullying his aunt and sister-in-law, and said that someone wanted to pay a high price to ask someone to punish this evil girl, and he could also scrape Prime Minister Lin for a ransom. Meng Laosan came up with wine, and he was filled with righteous indignation when he heard it, and he happened to be short of money, so he immediately agreed to take action in person. Looking at it today, Aunt Qin, Lin Qinglan and Lin Yunzhu are dressed luxuriously, but Lin Wan himself is dressed plainly, knowledgeable, and has no arrogance and deception.
After the man in black left, the crowd began to pack up their messed up luggage. Mother Du supported the paralyzed Mrs. Lin, and Aunt Qin was busy taking care of Lin Yunzhu, who was still in a coma.
Lin Wan walked up to Mrs. Lin, hugged Mrs. Lin's arm, and said with concern, "Grandmother, are you okay?"
Old Madam Lin looked at Lin Wan with inquiring eyes and did not answer.
Lin Wan's face was anxious, and he hurriedly said: "Grandmother, are you angry with Wan'er?" Wan'er also had to make her own decision and promised to give the bandit silver, but if Shicai didn't say this, if the bandit arrested our sister, then our sister's innocence would be ruined, and the Lin family's silver and face would be gone. ”
Old Madam Lin said sharply: "Enough, I know this matter in my heart." Some people are indeed a little presumptuous, but since Wan'er already knew, why didn't she tell her grandmother to let this matter develop out of control?"
Lin Wan looked at Old Madam Lin in fear and explained, "Grandmother, Wan'er didn't know about this, but she hasn't let her guard down since the water incident. Grandmother knows, Wan'er loves to read, Meng Jiabao's matter has only been seen in miscellaneous books, the book said that Meng San has a scar on his face, used to using knives, the situation was urgent, Wan'er only tried her best according to her own guess, I really didn't know in advance, please grandmother to check. ”
Old Madam Lin looked at Lin Wan carefully for a long time, and finally sighed, patted Lin Wan's hand and said, "I am really thanks to you today, don't worry, grandmother will make decisions for you in this matter." ”
Lin Wan was silent, and helped Mrs. Lin to the carriage to rest with Mother Du. Lin Wan understood that Old Madam Lin knew what she wanted, but she didn't believe that she would make decisions for herself.
After Aunt Qin settled Lin Yunzhu, she and Lin Qinglan came to Mrs. Lin's carriage and knelt down and cried: "Old lady, how is this good, the fifth lady has been in a coma, and there is no ......doctor in this wilderness" Aunt Qin cried for a while, and then said: "This thief is really bold, he actually dared to blackmail our prime minister's mansion, and he could even recognize our seventh miss, but the seventh miss also promised to give them five thousand taels of silver, which is not a small amount......
Aunt Qin cried as she spoke, and unconsciously pushed the charge on Lin Wan, who listened to it and sneered secretly, her face expressionless, as if she hadn't heard it.
Old Madam Lin kept leaning on the car seat with her eyes closed, and when she finished speaking, she opened her eyes and squinted at Aunt Qin and said, "Okay, don't cry, let's talk about this matter when we go back." Now that the city gate has been closed at this hour, let's go up the mountain first, Master Lingyin has excellent medical skills and high morality, and he will definitely be able to cure Zhu'er and these guards, go and arrange it, and go to Lingshan Temple as soon as possible. ”
Aunt Qin knew that she wouldn't be able to please anyone else, so she was busy arranging the work of her subordinates.
Pack up an ox cart with luggage and let the seriously injured guards ride. The ladies and ladies also got into their carriages. After a while, it was arranged and we moved on.
The road up the mountain was even more bumpy, and when I arrived at Hai, I arrived at Lingshan Temple.
There are monks waiting at the entrance of Lingshan Temple.
The carriage stopped, Mrs. Lin got down from the carriage, and the monk stepped forward with his hands together and performed a Buddhist salute, saying, "The old lady has worked hard all the way." ”
Old Madam Lin also clasped her palms together and saluted, "Master Lao has been waiting for a long time, can the old man see Master Lingyin first?"
The monk said respectfully: "The little monk needs to ask the abbot, and the old lady please go to the guest room with me to rest first." ”
A group of people went to the temple, Lingshan Temple is the largest temple in the capital, has a history of 500 years, occupies the top of the entire Lingshan Mountain, walked from the temple gate to the guest room behind the mountain for an hour.
On the way, more than 20 monks came and carried the injured guards and Lin Yunzhu away on stretchers.
After everyone was arranged, the monk came to invite everyone to eat fast, and asked Mrs. Lin to meet the abbot.
Lin Wan felt that she was almost tired to death, so she didn't go to fast, ate some pastries that she brought, and after washing up, she fell asleep. In the entire west courtyard of the guest room, only Qingtong and Lin Wan, who had fallen asleep, were left.
