Chapter 22: Sending Charcoal in the Snow (2-in-1)
"So the eldest brother will go to Qingzhou to take office in the near future? What about Huayin County? There are also Li Zhong, Yang Chun brothers and the dart bureau, there is no shortage of manpower!" Chen Da reacted and quickly thought of the matter of the Huayin dart game.
Now the dart game is based on Huayin to the east and west of the continuous expansion, and gathered a lot of good players, in the eyes of ordinary heroes, this dart game is a career that can be fought for a lifetime.
Chen Da also had such thoughts more or less in his heart. If the eldest brother takes office and goes to Qingzhou, no one will control the dart game, and the momentum of good development will definitely slow down.
Although the dart game is not a lucrative industry, it can bring Gao Cheng a steady stream of money and manpower, so it naturally cannot be interrupted. Gao Cheng smiled.
Then he explained casually and said: "Don't worry, as long as I don't lose my official position, there will be no problems in Huayin County, if you meet any masters who can't be solved, go to Shi Dalang." Let him sit in the dart game. ”
Shi Jin now has the strength of the peak of the third order, and it is more than enough to sit in a dart game. With him in Huayin, Gao Cheng doesn't have to worry about anything.
If he went to Qingzhou to take office, he would actually only take Zhu Wu alone.
......
Gao Cheng's purpose of coming to Tokyo was completed, and then there was nothing major, and the next day he met with Lu Zhishen, and then went to Lin Chong for a drink together.
Under Lu Zhishen's recommendation, Gao Cheng and Lin Chong can be regarded as talking and have a layer of friendship. The next day, when Lin Chong came out to drink and talk with Gao Cheng and Lu Zhishen. Lu Qian tricked Lin Niangzi out, preparing to let Gao Yanei take Lin Niangzi's body from it.
Gao Cheng had already sent Zhu Wu to pay attention to the movements of the Lin Mansion, and when Lin Niangzi came out, Zhu Wu hurriedly came to inform Lin Chong and asked him to arrive in time to save his own lady.
When he did these things, Gao Cheng hid behind him, not letting Gao Yu, Gao Yanei and Lu Qian know about his existence, but in front of Lin Chong, he didn't hide much.
Lin Chong saved his wife in time, and naturally thanked Zhu Wu and Gao Cheng for reporting the news. The relationship with Gao Cheng is a lot closer, second only to Lu Zhishen, who is heroic and hearty and has no scheming.
After Gao Cheng did this, he didn't continue to interfere, and just watched Lin Chong buy a treasure knife "by chance" on the way home from drinking. Then the existence of this treasure knife was known by Gao Yu, and he sent someone to invite Lin Chong to the palace marshal's mansion, and Gao Yu was ready to compare his collection of treasure knives with Lin Chong's treasure knives.
These are all Gao Yu's conspiracy, wanting Lin Chong to break into the White Tiger Hall of the Palace Marshal's Mansion with a knife, and then use this strategy to solve him.
A few days ago, Gao Yanei intended to mistreat his sister-in-law, but Gao Yu did not react in the slightest, nor did he apologize to you because of Gao Yanei, this time Gao Yu suddenly asked you to go to the palace marshal's mansion, something was abnormal. Maybe there's some conspiracy in there!"
When Lin Chong was about to go to the Palace Marshal's Mansion, Gao Cheng reminded Lin Chong intentionally or unintentionally when he was drinking with Lin Chong. These days, his friendship with Lin Chong has gradually deepened, and he has a good impression of this master with a forbearant personality, so he said such a sentence.
However, there is no reason to prevent thieves in the world, as long as Gao Yu makes a decision, even if Lin Chong escapes this catastrophe, there will be more traps in the future.
Gao Cheng now reminds that it is already for the sake of good friendship these days. As for exposing the conspiracy of Gao Yu, Lu Qian and Gao Yanei in front of Lin Chong, Gao Cheng didn't bother to do it.
Because, Lin Chong is not a fool, when Gao Yanei had bad intentions some time ago, he already knew in his heart the true face of people like Gao Yanei and Lu Qian.
Even vaguely understood Gao Yu's position.
It's just that due to his personality, he subconsciously doesn't want to believe this, and he holds the idea that he can endure the past and solve it, and he still has some hopes for Gao Yu and the Great Song Dynasty.
Sure enough, as Gao Cheng expected, Lin Chong hesitated for a moment, and then forced a smile: "Thank you brother for reminding me, but Captain Gao was still very important to me in the past, and since he wants to appreciate my treasure sword, I can't refuse!"
No one can wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. Gao Cheng shook his head in his heart, if he couldn't appreciate the treasure sword, wouldn't it be more convenient to be in the Taiwei Mansion?
Since Lin Chong was willing to send it to the door, Gao Cheng didn't say much, believing that it wouldn't be long before he would regret his decision.
Half a day later.
Gao Cheng is still running the Golden Toad Gong in the inn. He had already cultivated the Golden Toad Gong to the peak of the third order, and cultivated this technique to the Great Perfection realm, and then he had to deduce the next level of the exercise in order for him to continue to break through.
His realm had long been at the peak of the sixth order, and it was extremely easy to deduce a technique that could be cultivated to the fourth order. When Gao Cheng was running the exercises, he kept trying to deduce, and soon deduced the exercises of the fourth layer by half.
Like the Central Immortal Realm, in this world, when cultivating to the fourth order, you will touch the realm of the origin of life, and the masters who cultivate true qi will nourish their souls with their true qi, and gradually use their souls to cultivate the primordial gods.
The fourth-order cultivation of the Gang Qi of the Outer Family is to use the Gang Qi to wash the flesh, the unity of heaven and man, the use of a strong will to affect the vitality of heaven and earth, to carry the wind and thunder, and to dominate with a strong flesh.
Gao Cheng is now taking the path of condensing the Yuan Shen with the true qi of the inner family, and he is familiar with the way and has performed the fourth-order Yuan Shen Gong according to the Jin Toad Gong. When the exercises are completely formed, it is the time when his doppelganger advances to the fourth order.
I don't know how long it took, but Gao Cheng slowly withdrew his true qi and stopped cultivating. He got up and walked out of the room, and outside Zhu Wu and Chen Da were walking back and forth with anxious expressions on their faces.
Seeing that Gao Cheng had finished cultivating, Zhu Wu's face suddenly showed joy, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother, the big thing is not good, Sect Leader Lin has been arrested by the people of the Palace Marshal's Mansion! It is said that he has committed a felony by trespassing into the White Tiger Hall with a knife, and has already pressed him to the heavenly prison!"
"This damn Gao Yu, saying that he asked Lin Jiaotou to go to the palace marshal's mansion with a knife, but he actually prepared a trap!" Chen Da's face was very ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said.
After having contact with Lin Chong, Chen Da also saw the scene when Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen were exchanging, and admired the strength of the two very much, and thought that these two people were a number of heroes in his heart.
Seeing that such a good man was wronged and sued, Chen Da felt the same way, and he couldn't wait to hack Gao Yu to death with a knife.
"I warned Lin Jiaotou a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to fall for the calculation!"
Gao Cheng sighed and said, "Now that Sect Head Lin is imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, it is impossible for us to rush into the Heavenly Prison to rescue people, we can only do two things now." The first is to find a way to protect the family of Lin Jiaotou, without Lin Jiaotou, they are likely to be bullied by Gao Yanei!"
"The second is to wait for Fu Yin's verdict, it is just a matter of assassination and exile, if we want to harm the life of Lin Jiaotou, we will join Master Lu to rob the Dharma field together, and we must not let a good man like Lin Jiaotou be killed by traitors!"
Hearing this, Zhu Wu and Chen Da nodded again and again. At this time, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, and Lu Zhishen strode in in wearing a strong monk's robe and holding a Zen staff.
"Okay! Brother Zhao is really righteous enough! He is also very thoughtful. Lu Zhishen also got the news and was about to come to the inn to discuss with Gao Cheng, but he didn't expect to hear what Gao Cheng said as soon as he walked outside the courtyard gate.
He glanced at Gao Cheng deeply, revealing sincere agreement. At the same time, deep down, he quietly eliminated his suspicions about Gao Cheng.
According to the news that the two apprentices he received, Zhang San and Li Si, not long ago, he went to the Taiwei Mansion to get through the door and found a dispatch. Now it seems that "Zhao Yu" did not take refuge in Gao Yu.
"I don't know what Brother Lin thinks, with his strength, he can be killed from the palace marshal's mansion at any time, if it is the Sprinkle family, what kind of bird lieutenant does he care, he will cut that guy with one knife, see if he dares to set a trap to wronged people!" Lu Zhishen said with a look of resentment. He had been to Tokyo back then and had a few encounters with Lin Chong's father, so he regarded Lin Chong as a real brother.
Now that his brother is in trouble, he hates iron but not steel, and he is sincerely dissatisfied with Lin Chong.
"Lin Jiaotou also has his own difficulties, after all, this is Tokyo City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if he really comes out of the palace marshal's mansion, he will become a traitor who rebels against the imperial court, and Lin Niangzi will be bad!" Gao Cheng said.
Lu Zhishen has a more radical personality, and when he encounters things, he just does it, and rarely thinks about the consequences, after all, he eats the whole family alone and is not hungry, and he can't even affect others if he wants to.
"That's right...... Now I can only do what you just said!" Lu Zhishen said.
"Well, for the sake of safety, Zhu Wu, you and Master Lu will go to the Lin Mansion now, let Lin Niangzi and the others pack up, and leave Tokyo City first! Chen Da and I will continue to inquire about the news here!" Gao Cheng said.
Lu Zhishen immediately responded, turned around and walked towards the direction of the Lin Mansion with Zhu Wu.
Unconsciously, Gao Cheng had already overwhelmed Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong, the two fourth-order powerhouses, in the small circle formed by these people, and occupied a dominant position.
Soon, Lu Zhishen called Zhang San and Li Si to help Lin Niangzi's family quietly leave Tokyo City and temporarily settle in a village outside the city.
At this time, Kaifeng Mansion Yin was a little unaccustomed to Gao Cheng's face, and only sentenced Lin Chong to Cangzhou.
......
Two days later. The two dukes escorted Lin Chong out of Tokyo City, Lin Chong's face was not good, and he was wearing heavy shackles, and there were Taoist runes on the shackles, which were specially designed to restrain the power of Gang Qi and True Qi.
This shackle is a special tool for the Great Song royal family to imprison felons, and after wearing the shackles, even Lin Chong, whose strength has reached the fourth order, can only use one-tenth of his strength, and most of the Gang Qi is sealed like stagnant water.
"Official!"
Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong's father-in-law Zhang Jiaotou, and Lin Niangzi and others were waiting at the intersection outside the city, after seeing Lin Chong, Lin Niangzi had tears in her eyes, and hurriedly greeted her, screaming sadly.
The public officials who escorted Lin Chong were named Dong Chao and Xue Ba, and they were all ordinary good players who could write fists and feet. When they saw Lu Zhishen and Zhang Jiaotou, they glanced at each other, and they didn't stop Lin Niangzi's movements very knowingly.
Lin Chong had a shackle on his neck, and it was a little inconvenient to move, so he could only comfort him in a low voice. Then he swept his eyes and saw that his father-in-law was carrying a large package, and Lin Niangzi and maid Jin'er were also carrying luggage, looking like they were going to go far away.
"Lady, what are you doing with Taishan on your back?" Lin Chong asked in a low voice.
Lin Niangzi turned her head to look and found that Dong Chao and Xue Ba had made room for them without eavesdropping, so she replied: "This is Uncle Zhao's suggestion, in order to avoid being framed by the Taiwei Mansion, we are going to leave Tokyo temporarily and return to our hometown." ”
"By the way, Uncle Zhao also asked me to tell the officials that even if the officials assassinate Cangzhou, Taiwei Gao will not necessarily stop, and may find another opportunity to frame the officials!"
He said that if the official couldn't stay in Cangzhou, he could go to Qingzhou to join him. Uncle Zhao is now the deputy commander of the Qingzhou Terracotta Division, if the official goes to Qingzhou, he can serve and make meritorious service under Uncle Zhao, and in the future, there will be a chance for the meritorious atonement officer to be reinstated!"
Lin Chong was stunned when he heard this, he had no hope for his future, and in order not to affect his wife, he was also going to write a letter of resignation so as not to delay Lin Niangzi's youth.
Unexpectedly, the mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Lin Niangzi's words were like a ray of sunshine in winter, which instantly made Lin Chong's heart move.
"Deputy Commander of the Qingzhou Soldiers and Horses Division, this is an important person in charge of the military of a state! Since Brother Zhao said so, it seems that things will still take a turn for the better...... Yes, I can still make meritorious deeds. But Cangzhou still has to go, and leaving now is too eye-catching. After Brother Zhao takes office in Qingzhou, I will go to defect!"
When Lin Chong thought about it, Yin's mood was much soothed.
After talking to his wife and father-in-law, Lin Chong's eyes fell on Lu Zhishen's body and said: "Senior brother! The junior brother is about to go to Cangzhou, and he can't accompany the senior brother to learn martial arts, drink and talk!
Lu Zhishen took a step forward, patted Lin Chong's shoulder, and said: "You and Brother Zhao are gone, what's the point of me being in Tokyo! This time you stabbed Cangzhou, I'm afraid that someone will kill you halfway, I'll go with you!"
When he said the latter sentence, Lu Zhishen deliberately amplified his voice so that Dong Chao and Xue Ba could hear it, and then glanced at the two of them coldly. Suddenly made the hearts of these two poor people with ghosts in their hearts beat violently.
"Senior brother......" Lin Chong's face was complicated, people only knew what a true brother was when they were in trouble, and what a dog meat friend was. After he was in trouble, only Lu Zhishen and Zhao Yu, who had known each other for a short time, were willing to help.
And Lu Qian, the former good brother, stabbed him in the back. The other friends of the palace marshal's mansion were like turtles with shrunken heads, pretending that nothing had happened, as if they had never known him as a person.
"By the way, Brother Zhao has already gone to Qingzhou to take office, so I can't come to see you off!" Lu Zhishen said again.
Lin Chong nodded, sighed, and said: "Brother Zhao reminded me before, saying that it was a fraud for Taiwei Gao to let me bring a knife to the palace marshal's mansion, but I didn't listen, and now it seems that Brother Zhao was prescient!"
By the way, he told Lu Zhishen what Lin Niangzi said just now, and said: "When Cangzhou copes with the punishment of the assassination, the junior brother is ready to go to Qingzhou to join Brother Zhao, if the senior brother is not ready to stay in Tokyo, then how about going to Qingzhou with me?"
Lu Zhishen was overjoyed when he heard this, laughed, and said: "This is a good idea! Okay, let's go to Qingzhou together after a while, and the three brothers will reunite!"
