Chapter 57: Shock

Watching Jin Hai go out, Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief. After so many days of busy work, this case is finally completed, and the string that Lin Fan has been tightening can finally relax a little.

Two days later, Fu Tianlin's body was found downstream of the river that Lin Fan had mentioned. After the investigation of his identity, the case is completely closed here.

It's just that Fu Tianlin's case is over, but there is one thing that is not over yet, that is, the matter of the Qiu family in Boliu Town.

Lin Fan returned the stolen things to the owners of the families, and the rest of the families gave them, but the Qiu family's South China Sea pearls did not. This aroused the suspicion of the main line of the Qiu clan in Anzhou, and specially sent someone to investigate this matter.

This was originally a matter of death without proof, after all, in everyone's understanding, Fu Tianlin was already dead, and no one from the main vein could find out anything.

But Qiu Ze's private possession of pearls was somehow known to a clansman in the family who coveted his position, so he informed the main lineage of the matter.

The next thing is very simple, Qiu Zedong's window incident happened, and he was removed from Qiu's position as the principal in Yongyang, and the person who informed took Qiu Ze's place naturally.

Fortunately, the main vein takes care of his own reputation and is unwilling to publicize such family scandals. Thinking about everyone's love for the same clan for decades, he didn't pursue Qiu Ze too much, but sent him to a shop under the name of Qiu to be the shopkeeper, which was regarded as letting him retire there.

However, these things have nothing to do with Lin Fan, and at this time, Lin Fan is focused on the affairs of the Inspection Division. He didn't bother to care about the outcome of this matter, but he just heard a few words mentioned by chance.

After Fu Tianlin's case was completed, the inspection department returned to calm.

And I don't know when the news of Fu Tianlin's collapse in Yongyang County began to spread.

This is a major event that shocked the entire Huainan Province, and recently, even the streets and alleys have been talking about it.

Who is Fu Tianlin? That is a peerless figure who is famous in the rivers and lakes and is known as a thief.

For so many years, the government has been unable to do anything about him, but now he has been taken down by a little-known little magistrate, which cannot but be surprising, and it has triggered all kinds of speculation and associations about this matter from the outside world.

Although the notice of the government said that the credit for this matter was mainly due to the county magistrate, it could not be hidden from the people below.

Everyone knows who did this. Recently, the matter of Lin Fan's killing of the thief Fu Tianlin has been spreading on the ground in Yongyang.

There are smarter storytellers who saw the opportunity to compile all kinds of gossip about this matter, and then adapted some of the plots that ordinary people like to hear in other martial arts stories and made them into stories.

In the name of Lin Patrol, he outwitted Fu Tianlin, and began to perform on stage in the restaurant tea shop.

Lin Fan was curious, and he also wanted to see what he would become in everyone's eyes after this incident, so he also wore civilian clothes to listen to it.

In order to be quiet, Lin Fan, who was dressed as a son-in-law, chose a relatively remote table on the second floor, ordered a pot of tea, and turned his head to look at Mr. Storyteller, waiting for the opening to hear what he would say.

The storyteller is obviously a veteran in this matter, relying on his sharp teeth, such a thing that was not originally considered to be such a complicated thing, from his mouth it becomes thrilling, ups and downs, and touching.

The storyteller on the stage talked endlessly about how Lin Fan and Fu Tianlin saw each other, fought wits and courage.

In fact, most of the stories in it are based on some so-called martial arts cheats in the stories of the rivers and lakes, peerless magic skills. In the mouth of the storyteller, both of them have become peerless masters, what is the heavenly thunder god palm, Qiankun magic skills are all at their fingertips, and the eaves and walls are omnipotent.

In this fight, the sky and the earth are cracking, and the earth is shaking. This competition made him talk about the climax, exciting, and fascinating, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

The storyteller was very excited, and the people below listened with relish. And Lin Fan on the side almost squirted out a mouthful of tea.

Lin Fan smiled bitterly, this is too much, if according to what the storyteller said, this is still something that mortals can do, and the legendary immortals are almost the same.

The rise of the people on the stage, the people in the audience also listened to it with pleasure, which can be seen from the bursts of applause from time to time, as well as the tray in front of Xiao Er that was full of copper coins rewarded by guests.

Listening to Mr. Storyteller's words and tricks so clearly, if it weren't for Lin Fan being the person who had personally experienced this matter, even he would have believed it a little.

In the past few days, in order to listen to this story, the restaurant is full, and the business has been a lot more lively.

The money earned on this day is almost catching up with the past half a month, and the restaurant owner who got the sweetness is almost unable to close his mouth with a smile, and the publicity is naturally more hardworking, and the storyteller is even more delicious and delicious.

After listening to the book, Lin Fan finally squeezed out of it and walked alone on the street.

People always like to join in the fun, and talk about the so-called secrets, but after all, they are just a joke.

Take this time as an example, in the eyes of outsiders, Lin Fan killed the legendary thief Fu Tianlin, which is a great event, but after a few years or even more than ten years, how many people can still remember the name Fu Tianlin?

Perhaps, there will be some poor people who have received Fu Tianlin's favor secretly sentimental, to sigh that it is a pity that such a good person as Fu Daxia died like this, and at most scolded Lin Fan in secret, but it was only there.

But if they were to avenge Fu Tianlin, they couldn't do it, and they didn't dare or want to do it.

And more people, in their eyes, whether it is Fu Tianlin or Lin Fan, it has nothing to do with him or their lives after all, just watch the excitement.

In fact, they don't even care who wins or loses, they are more concerned about whether the family can spend an extra ten cents to buy rice for the pot tonight. Summer is coming soon, and I have to find a way to earn some money to tear a piece of cloth for my children and make summer clothes.

And Lin Fan and them are just jokes for everyone to joke about in their spare time.

Don't look at the excitement now, it seems that everyone is elated. But people are forgetful, and after a long time, most people will forget about these.

It's not easy for everyone, food and clothing are the top priority, who will have the time and energy to remember these people and things that have nothing to do with them?

However, no matter what, with the storyteller's spit, Lin Fan also began to become truly famous. The fame has also spread farther and farther, and even with the spread of some merchants, it has gradually spread to neighboring states and counties.

A month after this incident, the county government sent someone to send 1,000 taels of silver, which was regarded as a reward for the arrest of Fu Tianlin.

In private, An Ning complained to Lin Fan a lot, saying that if he caught a Fu Tianlin, the court's reward would have to be five thousand taels of silver.

Now that the credit has been given to Gao Wensheng, it is just that, but even when the reward is handed to Lin Fan, there are only one thousand taels left, and it is really not worth it to mobilize the teachers for this matter at that time.

Lin Fan often just stopped him from going on, and then laughed and scolded a few words, just as some spice for boring life.

In fact, what An Ning said was not all right, although Gao Wensheng only asked people to send him a thousand taels of silver, but in exchange, he opened the door to the equipment and military salary of the Inspection Division.

The inspection department was also handed over to Lin Fan, and he didn't care about it anymore. It can be said that the county government will have a lot less restrictions on Lin Fan in the future, which is much more important than giving him a few thousand taels of silver.

With less constraints, Lin Fan can do more, which can be said to be extremely beneficial to the development of the Inspection Division.

Time flies, and before you know it, it has reached the fifth lunar month.

In the Huangmei season, the dark clouds are bleak, and even the rain in the sky makes the sky and the earth shrouded in a layer of mist, as if a layer of haze rises in people's hearts.

Although it was raining, the training could not be delayed.

Lin Fan, who refused to play the umbrella, stood on the stage seriously and straight, watching the teams below roll in the mud and compete in the mud.

With Lin Fan watching from the stage, the enthusiasm of the sergeants for training was also extremely high, and even the rain did not extinguish the fighting spirit in their hearts.

Today is the big competition in May, after fierce competition, Jin Hai led their team, a sentence to beat the opponents, won the final first place. And the personal title was taken away by Zhang Ping, who has always been infamous.

After the game was completed, the two were called to the stage by Lin Fan together and personally handed over the reward to the two of them.

Seeing that although they were muddy but still had undiminished fighting spirit, he who had always seemed easy-going, but he was strict with his training, and he rarely expressed his satisfaction with them.

Lin Fan patted them on the shoulders and said to them, "Good job, continue to work hard next time!"

After that, Lin Fan looked at the people in the audience who had already lined up and stood in line.

After a fierce game, everyone was covered in mud, and they couldn't even tell their faces.

On everyone's face, muddy water mixed with rain kept flowing down their cheeks, making everyone look quite embarrassed.

Hundreds of people with muddy water all over their bodies stood neatly under the stage, letting the rain wash away, but no one complained, all waiting for Lin Fan's words.

Looking at the silent crowd in the audience, Lin Fan nodded secretly, after today's competition, it can be found that after many days of training, it has finally achieved initial results today.

It can be said that today's inspection department has swept away the decadence of the past, whether in terms of combat strength or morale, it is not what it used to be. In the face of the future enemy, the Inspection Division finally has the confidence to fight.

After a long while, he was no longer silent, and said, "Brothers, have you seen these two on the stage?"

"Remember, they are the ones who not only beat you up here today, but also received the bounty. I just want to say one thing at this point, and they deserve it. If any of you are not convinced, you will take the first place next month for everyone to see. When the time comes, don't say let the two of them go down, you just let me go down! ”

Lin Fan's words made the audience burst into laughter, and some people even coaxed to ask if what Lin Fan said was true, which aroused everyone's echo.

Lin Fan smiled: "When did what I say not count?" But the premise is that you all have to train me well, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime. When it comes to the battlefield, the sword does not have eyes. So, don't be complacent with a little bit of progress, if any of you are lazy in the future and I catch you, see how I clean you up. ”

"Okay, I see that everyone is tired today, so let's get here today. Recently, the rain has been heavy and the humidity is heavy, everyone should pay more attention, I have made ginger soup in the kitchen, everyone will drink more after going down, don't get caught in the cold. Let's disperse! ”

Lin Fan gave an order, and the people in the audience slowly dispersed.

Looking at everyone's backs, Lin Fan knew that the peaceful days in the future were destined not to be too many.

In this troubled world, no one knows how many of the following people, including themselves, will survive in the end.

On 20 May, news came from the Imperial Court Residence that on the fourth day of the first month of May, Chen Xinglong, who was the first of the thieves to cause an incident, and had the most extensive and powerful power, proclaimed himself king in Chenzhou, restored the name of the former dynasty, and proclaimed himself King of Da Chen Xing.

The world has been in turmoil for a long time, but Chen Xinglong is still the first one who dares to openly claim the king in the army of thieves from all walks of life. As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the world.

After he became king, Chen Xinglong's momentum was great, and some small-scale thieves joined him.

Chen Xinglong began to build a palace in Chenzhou, set up official offices, and appointed hundreds of officials and ministers. and ordered all the righteous armies in the world to obey him, and the limelight was unmatched for a while.
