Chapter Seventy-Four: I Owe Him a Life

The city of Yuezhou was in chaos.

Not only a square of Xingwenfang was attacked by thieves, but several squares near Xingwenfang were also looted by the enemy at the same time, and most of the people living in these squares were rich families in Yuezhou City.

At this time, there were almost more than 100 officers and soldiers gathered outside Xingwenfang, some of these people were the officials of the Shanyin County Ya, some were from the city defense battalion, and some were strong men temporarily recruited by the county government, all of whom were gathered at the gate of Xingwenfang, but they did not dare to enter.

Guo Xing, the commander of Shanyin County, looked at the door of Xingwenfang in front of him, and his forehead was already full of sweat

Xingwenfang is in the Sanyin Rule, but now it has been broken in by thieves, it is inevitable that he will be implicated in this county order, and now the question is to what extent it will be implicated, you must know that the prince's teacher is still in Xingwenfang, if he is killed by these bandits......

Thinking of this, Guo Xing broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, he looked back at the county lieutenant beside him, and said angrily: "Why haven't the soldiers of the Zhizhou Yamen seen any movement?" The people of Huiji County have arrived! ”

"These thieves are so fierce, how can they be enemies with only my Shanyin County Ya?"

Guo Xianling scolded and said angrily: "And what is the city defense camp doing for food, how can these thieves easily enter the city!" ”

Yuezhou is relatively rich, and Shanyin is naturally a rich county, and it is a fat shortage to be a county magistrate in this kind of place, and there is a possibility of promotion in a few years, but after tonight's events, the career of this Guo county magistrate will end here.

Not only that, but it is also possible to be convicted for this, from the eldest master to a prisoner.

How can he not be in a hurry, how can he not be angry?

Guo Xian Ling scolded people while gathering manpower, and finally gathered more than 200 people, he was also a little bolder, and said hard: "Now that the matter is over, we can't wait any longer, if Lin Shilang is harmed by those thieves, we will all go to prison!" ”

Master Guo was extremely brave, waved his big hand, and shouted angrily: "Go in and save people!" ”

More than 200 people, under his command, poured into Xingwenfang, their goal was very clear, they rushed directly towards the Lin family's mansion, after entering the Lin family's mansion, Guo County's order immediately ordered: "Investigate the traces of the thief, try to find Lin Shilang, protect Lin Shilang, after finding Lin Shilang, don't act rashly, wait for the soldiers of the Zhizhou Yamen to arrive......"

His subordinates immediately nodded in response and began to investigate around the Lin family's mansion, while Guo Xing was protected by a group of people, and his heart was uneasy.

If it weren't for his duty, he would never be willing to risk his life, he was also born as a Jinshi, he is only thirty years old this year, and now although the future may not exist, there is still a lot of time to enjoy, how can he be willing to deal with these vicious people?

Guo Xianling was protected by a group of people, and waited for a pillar of incense or so in fear, and the county lieutenant who was sent out ran back in a panic, bowing his head and clenching his fists at Guo Xianling: "County Zun, there are corpses everywhere in the Lin family's mansion, and it is estimated that nearly 100 people died, but ...... I have not seen any of those thieves! ”

Guo Xian Ling frowned and said, "I saw that there were thieves wreaking havoc in the Lin family, why did they disappear in a blink of an eye?" ”

The county lieutenant continued: "County Zun, most of the hundreds of Lin family members in the Lin family's compound ...... They were all stripped of their clothes, and they guessed that those thieves should have changed into the clothes of the Lin family and their subordinates, and escaped from Xingwenfang while they were in chaos, it was raining outside, and it was dark, so they escaped. ”

Guo Xianling swallowed his saliva and looked at the county lieutenant very nervously.

"Lin... What happened to Lin Shilang? ”

"I don't know the specifics, but it should be fine......"

The county lieutenant bowed his head respectfully: "I asked a few Lin family members just now, but I never heard that Lin Shilang was killed. ”

"That's good, that's good."

Hearing that the thief had already run away, Guo Xianling secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his courage also increased, and he commanded the people around: "This county is going to visit Lin Shilang now, you go around to investigate, if you encounter a thief, kill on the spot!" ”

"Notify the Zhizhou Yamen, let them close the city gate, and intercept and kill these bold bandits in the city!"

After saying this, Guo Xian Ling ignored the heavy rain and walked towards the main hall of the Lin family's mansion, at this time, there were dozens of people in the main hall of the Lin family who were either standing or sitting.

There are hundreds of Lin family members living in the Lin family's mansion, but at this time, the women and children were all frightened, and most of them had already gone back to their rooms, and those sitting in the main hall were all men who could talk in various small families, except for some elders.

However, most of these people are wearing underwear, and their outer clothes have been stripped off, which is quite embarrassing.

Among them, Lin Si, the eldest lord of the Lin family, was sitting on the main seat, while Lin Jian was sitting next to him, and his face was not very good-looking.

Guo Xianling walked into the main hall of the Lin family in a panic, he first bowed to Lin Sizheng, and then turned his head to bow to Lin Jian, quite ashamed.

"Guo was a step late, causing the Lin family to suffer this catastrophe."

He looked at Lin Sizheng and Lin Jian deeply.

"My sins, too."

Lin Sizheng, as a local squire, naturally recognized Guo County's order, the old man's parents sighed, got up and helped Guo Xing up, and said: "The thieves did it intentionally, and they didn't do the county's affairs, if it wasn't for the county zun to bring people over and scare away those thieves, my Lin family doesn't know how many people will die." ”

Guo Xing hurriedly comforted Lin Sizheng a few words, and then he glanced at Lin Jian who was sitting on the side, only to see Lin Yuanda sitting silently on the chair and never moving.

Guo Xianling was bold, walked up, and bowed deeply to Lin Jian: "This time it was a dereliction of duty on behalf of the lower officials, and Yuan Dagong was not injured by those thieves?" ”

The anger in Lin Jian's heart at this time had reached the extreme.

However, his anger, firstly, for those thieves, secondly, for Cheng Jingzong, and for Kang Dongping, he also knew in his heart that this matter had little to do with the Shanyin County Commander in front of him.

So, he slowly spoke: "Lin ...... Lin is fine, thank you for your concern. ”

"It's good to have nothing, it's good to have nothing."

Guo Xianling said in a deep voice: "Those thieves, I don't know how to cross the city defense army and enter the city, the lower official must send someone to inquire about this matter and give Yuan Dagong an explanation!" ”

"No need to look it up."

Lin Jian took a deep breath and was expressionless: "Who did this matter has been revealed." ”

Lin Shilang gritted his teeth fiercely, and his voice was extremely angry.

"Today's events will never die!"

After saying this, he looked up at Guo Xianling, and his voice was hoarse: "Guo Xianzun, my nephew, was captured by those thieves, no matter what, please ask the county magistrate to find out the whereabouts of those thieves and rescue my nephew from the tiger's mouth." ”

Just now Guo Xing led people to approach the Lin family's mansion, and the thieves in the mansion were suddenly a little flustered, and some even planned to forcibly kill them, at this critical time, it was the young man who was only thirteen years old who told Boss Xu to let them stop and change into the clothes of the Lin family and escape.

Boss Xu was frightened by Lin Zhao's words, worried that if he really killed Lin Jian or took Lin Jian away, it would attract the elite of the imperial court, and he was afraid that the Lin family, a big official, would "retaliate" afterwards, so he selected a "hostage" from the Lin family and took it away.

This unlucky hostage is naturally Lin Saburo, who showed great bravery.

When Guo County Ling heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, Yuan Dagong, the government will definitely save Ling's nephew for Yuan Dagong." ”

When a group of people were talking in the main hall of the Lin family's mansion, an official from Shanyin County ran over in a hurry and bowed to Guo Xing and hugged his fists.

"Lord County, there is news of those thieves!"

Guo Xian Ling immediately looked back at this yacha and said, "Hurry up!" ”

This yacha bowed his head and said, "I just received news that a group of thieves stormed the west gate and escaped from the city!" ”

After hearing the news, everyone in the Lin family fell into silence.

Lin Sizheng and Lin Jian glanced at each other, and they both felt a little worried in their hearts.

After a long time, Master Lin sighed faintly.

"Today, we all owe that kid's life."
