Chapter 59: Inducement and Coercion

was stopped halfway by the person with the saber at his waist, and he had to bow his head if he didn't bow his head at this time, after all, Lin Zhao couldn't tell what kind of temper this man in front of him was, in case this person directly broke out and killed people on the street, his life would be difficult to protect.

Most of the people in the military in this era are short-tempered, and there are not a few who hurt and kill people at every turn.

Once he dies, everything is over, Lin Zhao still has a lot of worries in this world, so he is naturally reluctant to die.

Lin Zhao followed behind this man and walked towards the Cuihu Tower in his mouth, observing the surrounding situation at any time as he walked.

He didn't want to escape, mainly to find the location of Zhao Ji, since the last time he came out of the Dai Garden, Lin Jian sent Zhao Ji to his side to protect him, this young village master of Funiu Mountain, at least twenty or thirty people were with him, although some of them were guarding the Xie family and Lin Erniang, but there should be four or five people near Lin Zhao.

This tall man glanced back at Lin Zhao, and when he saw Lin Zhao looking around, this man smiled: "Is Lin Gongzi looking for those people who are following you?" ”

Lin Zhao's heart was awe-struck, and he asked, "What's wrong with them?" ”

"In broad daylight, and in Yuezhou City, they are naturally fine, but at this time, those people are all stumped, and I am afraid that they will not be able to find where you are Lin Gongzi for a while."

Lin Zhao sighed secretly in his heart.

In terms of splendid articles, Lin Yuanda is naturally one of the best existences in the imperial court, but in terms of manpower and force, Lin Jian, a civil official, is far inferior to the Shuofang General Kang, after all, there are more than 100,000 Shuofang troops, and they can be regarded as ruthless people if they send some veterans who have seen blood.

Moreover, an army of this size will definitely not lack masters.

With the arrival of that Cheng Zhizhou, in the current Yuezhou City, there are probably not a few soldiers from the Shuofang Army.

After following this man for almost a pillar of incense, he finally stopped in front of a rather elegant restaurant, this man led Lin Zhao to the second floor, then stopped, turned back to Lin Zhao and said, "Lin Gongzi, my master is inside, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Lin Zhao gritted his teeth and directly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly, and a middle-aged man in green clothes stood behind the door with a smile, he first glanced at Lin Zhao up and down, and then said with a smile: "This must be Lin Sanlang from Donghu Town?" ”

Lin Zhao took a deep breath and asked, "Under Lin Zhao, dare to ask Your Excellency?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled: "The surname is Cheng, Cheng Jingzong." ”

"It turned out to be the new Lord Zhizhou."

Although he had already made some preparations in his heart, when the new Zhizhou stood in front of him, Lin Zhao was inevitably a little flustered.

Wupin magistrate......

This grade is extremely inconspicuous in Chang'an City, and it may be possible to hit two or three officials of five or six grades with a rod, but the magistrates of this grade are the local emperors.

If it is the kind of Zhizhou that has been operating in one place for a long time, it is not an exaggeration to call it a prince!

Lin Zhao bowed his head deeply to Cheng Jingzong, and said, "Lin Zhao, a grass man, has seen the old man of Zhizhou. ”

This is the pain of not having an official reputation, even if Lin Zhao is a talent now, he can only bow his hand in the face of Cheng Jingzong, but now he is a fart person, and he has to kneel down and kowtow to his parents according to the law.

Lin Zhao is only doing tricks, and he is already a trick.

Cheng Jingzong didn't care about this, he smiled and said: "If I'm not in the Zhizhou Yamen, I won't be regarded as the governor of Yuezhou, Lin Gongzi doesn't have to be so polite, today someone invited Lin Gongzi to come over, there are some things to discuss with Lin Gongzi." ”

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "Master Zhizhou is the parent official of Yuezhou, if you have any orders, Lin Zhao will not dare to disobey." ”

"It's not that exaggerated."

Cheng Jingzong sat back on his main seat, first looked at Lin Zhao, and then asked, "I heard that movable type printing, did you make it out of Lin Gongzi?" ”

Lin Zhao nodded and said: "It is considered to be made by the grass people, because the grass people work as a partner in the bookstore, and an elder in the family gave a booklet a few months ago, and the booklet wrote such a thing, and the grass people and the owner of the family made the movable type according to this booklet." ”

Hearing this answer, Cheng Jingzong frowned slightly and said, "Lin Zhao, this official didn't call you here today to listen to your lies. ”

The smile on his face retracted, and he said coldly: "This official has already found out the evidence, the movable type in Lin Jian's hand was bought from you and Xie Sanyuan, and then impersonated, pretending to be created by himself, so as to coax His Majesty, the court, and the world!" ”

"This is already a great sin of deception!"

Cheng Jingzong said in a low voice: "If you tell the matter now, this official can not hold you accountable for the sake of you truthfully recruiting, if you are stubborn again, with the crime of you collaborating with Lin Jian to bully the king, this official can put you in prison now!" ”

Lin Zhao is only thirteen years old this year, if it is other thirteen-year-old young people, if he is like this by Cheng Jingzong, most of them will already be full of fart, and everything that should be said and what should not be said has been said, but Lin Zhao is not ordinary, although he is a little nervous in his heart, he is not afraid.

He looked at Cheng Jingzong, who was very nervous, and even felt a little funny in his heart.

However, on the bright side, Lin Zhao still had to pretend to be frightened, he immediately got up, saluted Cheng Jingzong, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Zhizhou, what the grass people said is true, Lord Zhizhou doesn't believe it, there is still a booklet written by my seventh uncle in the grass people's house, and the grass people can give it to the master of Zhizhou for viewing..."

"With that booklet, Master Zhizhou naturally understands that the grass people are not lying."

Cheng Jingzong looked at the young man in front of him and frowned slightly.

Could it be ...... Is what this young man said true?

According to Kang's intelligence, the origin of the movable type in Lin Jian's hand was indeed suspicious, but at this time, after Lin Zhao's cover-up, there was no useful evidence on the surface.

Cheng Zhizhou sat in his place, and after being silent for a while, he said slowly: "Lin Zhao, you have to think clearly when you speak, if the crime of bullying the king is decided, all of your Lin family in Donghu Town will not be able to escape the blame!" ”

Lin Saburo was even more frightened and made a fuss.

"How dare Xiaomin deceive the old man of Zhizhou, let alone deceive ...... 'deceive the king......"

This time, Cheng Zhizhou was silent for a long time, he looked the young man in front of him up and down, and then suddenly thought of something, and grinned: "That's it, it doesn't matter whether Lin Jian deceived the king or not, whether he pretended to be or not, what matters is what the people of the world will say." ”

He stared at Lin Zhao in a low voice.

"Lin Sanlang, this official needs you to do something for me."

Lin Zhao nodded obediently and said, "Master Zhizhou, what's the matter?" ”

"Come forward to testify about Lin Yuanda's deception and stealing his name."

Lin Zhaoda frowned: "Master Zhizhou, my seventh uncle did not deceive the world and steal his name, this thing is indeed made by him......"

"Did he make it, what does it matter?"

Cheng Jingzong's face was expressionless: "The important thing is that this thing first came out of you, and what you say outside, they will believe it." ”

This is very straightforward, which means that Lin Zhao came forward to "give false testimony", thus "framing" Lin Yuanda.

In other words, Cheng Jingzong does not have the so-called evidence in his hands.

Lin Zhao frowned and said with a wry smile: "Master Zhizhou, Yuan Dagong is my seventh uncle, and he and I are a family, how can I frame him?" ”

"As long as you do this, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, and what is the value of a mere Yuezhou Lin clan?"

Cheng Jingzong's face was calm, and he said slowly: "At this time, you nod and agree, this official can protect your future for the rest of your life, if you don't agree......"

Cheng Jingzong sneered slightly.

"Lin Jian has a reputation for being a jinshi, the official can't help it, you Lin Zhao don't have a reputation, if you don't agree, you still have your family, the official can concoct it as he wants!"
