After tidying up his military uniform and stepping on the morning glow, in the eyes of a soldier, General Lin was like a god of war, standing on the tiles of the emperor's uncle and the general's mansion, and at this time, Luoyang, which had passed three poles, had entered the twilight of spring.

Lights are everywhere, and what everyone doesn't know is that General Lin is doing a kind of prayer ceremony, facing the sunset, standing on the eaves of the sunset, enjoying this beautiful scene to the fullest, without distractions, praying for peace in the world, and also wishing all the good things in the world to be unchanging, happy and beautiful. Always favor them, favor this beautiful land, bless all the people here, may they be happy and beautiful, carefree, happy with the family, but worry-free, suitable for the old and weak, and magnificent.

When you stand tall, your heart will naturally be wider; If you see far, your vision will be higher; If you give more, you don't have to worry about everything; The more people are happy, the more they are happy.

It would be great if Lin Maolin could selflessly dedicate his light and heat like the sun, so that more people and things will receive this gift, and more lives will get warmth and sunshine.

But things are not as simple as imagined, prayer is just a beautiful expectation, everything needs to be pursued by oneself, the light of yearning may be in front of the eyes, maybe in the distant sky, but as long as we disdain to pursue, never stop the footsteps, will definitely take us to the other side of the sun, harvest their own warmth, bring back blessings and hope.

In this way, General Lin jumped a little, and the harvest was also full.

A soldier walked up and said to General Lin: "Today is the opening ceremony of the Luoyang assessment, Uncle Zhou Huang and General Li have already gone to preside over the venue, and they specially sent me to invite General Lin to come with me." ”

Lin Maolin walked forward with heavy steps, steady and steady, and the soldier followed behind General Lin, and his self-satisfied spirit was spontaneous.

From time to time, a few female servants passed by, and when they saw General Lin, their eyes showed admiration and admiration, while the soldier behind him kept raising his eyebrows, just like they admired themselves, and they were proud in their hearts.

Just when they were turning the corner, they happened to come to the door of the room where Zhao Wei and his younger brother lived.

Lin Maolin heard the conversation between Zhao Wei and his younger brother, and then pushed the door in, Zhao Wei took a look, and after finding that it was General Lin, he hurriedly ran up and said softly: "General Lin, General Lin come here, sit." ”

Lin Maolin took Zhao Wei's hand and came to Zhao Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, come with us and take you to see the world, that stage is also the time for you to show your face." ”

Zhao Xiaoxiao said "um", and walked out of the door with General Lin and his sister.

When he came to the venue, Yang Qin was ordering his brothers, and said: "Here, here, arrange it for me, especially here, wipe it clean, and when General Lin sits, it will not be clean, and it will not be good for your health, so General Lin's position must be wiped clean, tea or something, you must take care of him, if there is anything wrong with it, I will ask you." ”

The two maids standing behind General Lin's seat nodded, the rags in their hands were constantly scrubbing, and even their eyes were almost on the table and chairs.

Lin Maolin said: "No need to wipe it, go down." ”

The two maids stopped what they were doing and looked at Lin Maolin, not knowing if they should retreat and stand still.

Yang Qin ordered: "Go down, go down, didn't you hear General Lin speak?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes"

Just when the two maids hurriedly retreated, their eyes peeked at General Lin, and they were very happy.

Zhao Wei, you take your brother down to play, I still have something to deal with.

Zhao Wei took her brother's hand and walked to the stage, but there were also many children below, they were rehearsing their movements, some seemed to be idle, staying aside and playing with sand, branches and other children's tricks, very happy.

Lin Maolin came to Uncle Zhou Huang and muttered in a low voice: "Uncle Zhou Huang, this venue is really magnificent, a lively and extraordinary scene, but I don't know that the people from the Anhui Mansion have also arrived, I haven't heard that Fan Zeng is dead, and he still made trouble with you, but there is such a thing."

Uncle Zhou Huang appeased General Lin and said: "You don't have to worry about this now, Uncle Huang will help you press it down, and when you win the position of general, I will give them an explanation, so as not to distract you, but you already know, then Uncle Zhou Huang is dissatisfied with you, Fan Zeng was killed, just in the Cross Fang, someone once said that you went to the Cross Fang, and killed a lot of bandits there, and after that time, the Lord of Luoyang County also caught a lot of bandits back, they all said that you killed Fan Zeng, If I hadn't postponed my trip on the grounds of such a major matter as the Luoyang assessment, they would have already troubled you two days ago. You must be very careful in the future, that Anhui County Yazhou Huang Uncle has also acquainted, knows his people, narrow-minded, short-sighted, love to protect the short, but at the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he made great achievements, and was appreciated by the Taiwei Chihou, although now the Taiwei has defected, but we have no evidence that he colluded with the Taiwei, so there was no powerful blow to him, anyway, after he came to Luoyang, you try to contact him as little as possible, so as not to cause trouble and cause unnecessary losses. ”

Lin Maolin listened carefully, and Uncle Zhou Huang taught tirelessly.

At this moment, a copywriting officer came up and handed Uncle Zhou a file, the file was very thick, and Uncle Zhou Huang ordered: "Give it to General Lin." ”

The copywriter handed the file to Lin Maolin with both hands, Lin Maolin took the file with both hands, and after saying "thank you", he put away the file, put it behind him, and arched his hand: "Thank you Uncle Zhou, Uncle Huang is really well-informed, and he is also very handy about such things as intelligence, admire and admire." ”

Where did Uncle Zhou Huang hear General Lin slap the sycophants and almost slap him, but after looking around, there is no room here to compare, there is a difference between the top and bottom, otherwise it will not mess up the order of the Great Zhou

"Ahem, General Lin, you better step down, you're really not suitable for sycophancy."

Although they didn't move, their voices were extremely low, so low that only the two of them could hear them.

Lin Maolin laughed and said: "What Uncle Zhou said is that he smiled and smiled, but I really thank Uncle Zhou for his information." ”

Lin Maolin turned his head and walked slowly, looking at the stage

, Particularly charming, the portraits of countless heroes have also been put on the stage, they are one by one, pasted on the wall of the stage, extremely dazzling, the stage blessed by heroes and justice, full of positive energy, but this group of oncoming people are not all good people.

At this moment, two people walked over to Lin Maolin, and a thin and tall middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said, "General Lin, it's better to be famous than to see it, it's really a hero out of a young man." I'll just say, General Lin must be an extraordinary person, and now I'm right. ”

Another old man followed him and laughed: "You're right, General Lin is indeed different from mortals, but General Lin is not all smooth sailing, you see, there is a slight haggard between the eyebrows, a little tired on the forehead, and a little wrinkle is enough to see that General Lin has been busy with official business recently, and he has also encountered a lot of sadness and annoyance." ”

Lin Maolin didn't know what they were talking about, but looking at their clothes and grooming, there was a group of people behind them, which was enough to show their courage and power.

Lin Maolin shook hands with the old man and asked, "What is the name of the second elder and where does he come from?"

The old man said with an official tone: "We are from Jinan, I don't know if General Lin knows this place in Jinan, but we can be described as a high mountain and a long river, outstanding people, and most importantly, General Lin must pass through us during the Northern Expedition." ”

Lin Maolin thought about it, and seemed to think of something, but he didn't say it, but said in another tone: "The two must be respected elders there, Jinan can be said to be prosperous now, the focus of the entire Central Plains is also related to the Luoyang assessment, the two elders, please take a seat." ”

The two old men came to Uncle Zhou, bowed and said, "Uncle Zhou, we are late, please punish Uncle Zhou." ”

Uncle Zhou Huang hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "The two of you can come, I, Zhou, am grateful, please take a seat." ”

Uncle Zhou Huang made a gesture of please, and the two old men sat down.

After a period of politeness, Lin Maolin said goodbye to them, walked off the stage by himself, observed the venue again, and after scanning twice, Lin Maolin walked off the stage.

"The representative of the Anhui Prefecture, Fan Qiwei, the secretary of the ministry and the right envoy."

Everyone looked at him, but Fan Qiwei was followed by a group of soldiers with one or two little boys who had not dried up, although they had not yet grown up, but they already had the naughty mischief that adults should have, and the word rebellion was like written on his face, in the eyes of the discerning people, Fan Qiwei was an out-and-out villain, if it weren't for his official position and fame, it is estimated that the enemy would have broken through the threshold a long time ago.

When Fan Qiwei passed by Lin Maolin's side, he glanced at Lin Maolin with his peripheral vision, and then rushed onto the stage.

"This Fan Qiwei is probably not a good person, General Lin will have to be more careful in the future."

It was Zhao Wei who came to meet her, and when Zhao Wei spoke, her face was a little domineering, and she was not as delicate as before.

Lin Maolin laughed and said, "It turned out to be Miss Zhao, you know Fan Qiwei and know his origins."

Zhao Wei made a look, revealing confidence in her steps, facing her, her lips opened slightly, her voice was soft, and she said: "General Lin, you have to be more careful, this Fan Qiwei's notoriety can be said to be obvious, and who in the Central Plains does not know who is just hindered by his status and rights, and there is no evidence, no one can take him, and there have been several officials who have been to wait for him, but I heard that he either died of a rogue or died of a heart attack." Therefore, it will be a long, long time before someone will go to track him down, probably because of the time wash, the longer things will be diluted by time, maybe it is a fledgling young man, they are new officials, they are often easy to be rash, in the end, they didn't find out why, but they fell into the trap of the enemy, pitiful. ”

Lin Maolin looked at Zhao Wei in disbelief and said, "Zhao Wei, how do you know this, I haven't seen you have such insight since I met you, what's wrong with me today, show me your braincase, is it broken?"

Lin Maolin gently touched his hair with his hand, and Zhao Wei looked cute, very cute.

"General Lin, it's not good, Zhao Xiaoxiao has a fight with other children, go and take a look."

A soldier sprang up, gasping for breath and spitting out the words heavily.

"Go there and take me there."

Lin Maolin said.

Zhao Wei was also panicked, and hurriedly said, "Where is it?"

"Don't leave, I'll take you over, but I have to tell you in advance, the kid on the other side was brought by Fan Qiwei, and the other party's official position is not under the general, so I can't wait to be the master, so I can only come back and report to General Liang'er, please go to the general, and deal with relevant matters, and it is convenient to do things first."

Lin Maolin and Zhao Wei followed behind them, and soon came to Zhao Xiaoxiao, but at this time, Zhao Xiaoxiao was covered with mud and stains, and his face did not change in the face of seven or eight little boys, and said: "You are all bastards, you dare to provoke me, if I don't fight today, you are looking for teeth all over the ground, I am not Zhao Xiaoxiao."

Saying that, Zhao Xiaoxiao kicked Fan Qitian's stomach, and Fan Qitian fell to the ground with a bang, holding his stomach and wailing.

At this time, seven or eight children ran up, they were all childhood playmates who came to Luoyang with Fan Qitian to play, originally thought that there were many people, this Zhao Xiaoxiao was just a bluff at most, but I didn't expect him to really do it, what caught them off guard was that Zhao Xiaoxiao's strength was so great, in less than a minute, Fan Qiwei had already fallen to the ground, and when the painful sound came, these children came forward.

Zhao Wei scolded angrily: "What are you going to do, lawless, so many people are bullying my family."

Those children were just about to come forward and kick Zhao Xiaoxiao, Zhao Wei stepped forward to hold Xiaoxiao, but Xiaoxiao's body was already covered with dust and stains, and his clothes were all black, not to mention where there was a clean place.

Lin Maolin smelled a powerful force coming, this force came with murderous intent, swept across the stage, threatened here, and then said in a rough voice: "Okay, there is no one in the Fan family who bullied me, why did you bully my Fan family, don't give me an explanation today, you."

Let's not think about it. ”

Accompanied by the voice, Fan Qiwei came like a voice, when he came to the stage, dozens of soldiers surrounded them, a figure passed through the field, swept down, the war knife came as scheduled, just when the war knife slashed down at Zhao Xiaoxiao, a silver spear flashed and blocked the attack of the war knife.

Fan Qiwei glared angrily, withdrew his spear, fell to the ground, stood firm, and said: "Okay, General Lin, my Fan family and you have no grievances in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, you killed my cousin Fan Zeng, this Fan Xiaoxiao also bullied my son Fan Qitian, today I will settle this grudge with you." ”

As he spoke, the war knife in Fan Qiwei's hand swung towards Lin Maolin, sonorous and powerful, and magnificent.

General Lin naturally did not show weakness, after the two fought for several rounds, Li Zhanming blocked the attack of the two with a halberd, Fan Qiwei and Lin Maolin saw that it was General Li, and they stopped the movements in their hands, Fan Qiwei glared angrily and said: "I Fan Qiwei wrote down today's events, I hope that in the future, General Lin will be more careful when walking, don't suffer from the Tao and lose your life, your life must be my Fan Qiwei's, keep it for me." ”

Lin Maolin held a spear in his right hand and stuck it on the ground vigorously, and responded domineeringly: "Leave it to you to laugh, I, Lin Maolin, am always a lamb to be slaughtered, you can listen to me, I, Lin Maolin, am standing here, my life is also here, if I have the ability, I will take it, Hugh has to speak wildly here and make others laugh." ”

The crowd of people eating melons who watched the excitement around him talked about it, some supported General Lin, some supported Fan Qiwei, and there was a lively sound in the audience.

Li Zhanming said in a heavy tone: "General Lin, General Fan, you are all warriors of my Great Zhou, you must not hurt your own vitality here, so as not to make outsiders laugh." ”

Of course, the two families parted unhappily.

The peacemaker made by Uncle Zhou Huang came to the audience and said: "General Lin and General Fan, don't be angry, if there is anything to discuss." ”

Seeing Uncle Zhou Huang coming, the two stopped using knives and guns.

Fan Qiwei stepped forward and said: "Uncle Zhou Huang, you came just in time, you preside over this justice for me, he Lin Maolin killed my cousin Fan Zeng, and now he is bullying my son Qi Tian, you say, how to deal with it If you don't give me an explanation today, I will definitely not give up, if you have something to say, please Uncle Zhou Huang call the shots." ”

In order to prevent everyone from saying that he was protecting Lin Maolin, he could only find a neutral answer, and said: "General Fan, we will definitely investigate Fan Wei's death, and now it cannot be explained that it was General Lin's doing, if the evidence is conclusive, Lin Maolin is the culprit, we will definitely deal with it impartially, and change the Fan family to justice." ”

Fan Qiwei said: "Bring Duxiao and others up, they know how Fan Zeng died, so let them tell Uncle Zhou Huang who killed Fan Zeng, and don't blame, saying that I wronged General Lin." ”

Immediately afterwards, neatly and neatly, four people came to the stage, they were full of faces, haggard, and they were not proud soldiers at first glance, but more like a group of small soldiers who had barely survived after a great disaster, and their embarrassed appearance made people feel pity.

"Uncle Zhou Huang, we are just a group of errands, we met bandits on the way to the cross with Fan Daren, after several tribulations, we successfully escaped, but met General Lin on the way, I didn't expect that General Lin was actually in a gang with the bandits, we were exhausted from fighting with the strong bandits, and the general who suddenly appeared cut off our back road, and then, he said that he killed Fan Gongzi."

Lin Maolin allowed him to spew blood, stepped forward, and said: "You said that I killed Fan Zeng, you told me carefully, when did I kill Fan Zeng, your eyes saw that I killed Fan Zeng."

The audience was in an uproar, some of the people who didn't know right from wrong, their eyes on Lin Maolin changed, how did they know if General Lin had killed Fan Zeng's countless ants crawling in his heart, goosebumps were raised, and he was also inexplicably afraid of the general in front of him, afraid, as if this was a bloodthirsty demon, everyone looked at him in disbelief, and their dumbfounded eyes seemed to say, look, this demon, a demon who kills people without blinking.

Lin Maolin said angrily: "You know, you are responsible for your words and deeds, if you conceal the truth or make up lies, you will be beheaded in the future, you can think about it." ”

The eyes of the four of them were confused, they thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "We have seen it with our own eyes, and there will be no mistakes, please ask Uncle Zhou Huang to investigate strictly." ”

Uncle Zhou Huang looked at these four people, as well as their confessions, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Please judge the case like a god, Zuo Si of Qingtian Bairi Mansion, Master Qiao, Qiao Fu case." ”

I saw a person walking towards him, he was the well-known case judge in the capital, Qiao Fu's case.

I saw that when Qiao Fuxin walked up, he was followed by a literary boy with a pen and a guard with a knife, and the two followed Qiao Fu's pace, although their eyes seemed careless, but the pace was the same neat.

"Uncle Zhou Huang, it seems that you sent me to deal with this case, which is a bit tricky."

Uncle Zhou Huang said: "Yes, this place will be handed over to Zuo Si, Uncle Zhou Huang is old and can't handle such trivial matters as you." ”

Qiao Fu's case also saluted Lin Maolin and Fan Qiwei and said: "Two generals, this case will be taken over by my Qiao Fu case in the future, and I ask the two generals to cooperate." ”

Lin Maolin and Fan Qiwei returned the salute: "Of course, of course"

Uncle Zhou Huang retreated, instructed all the horses, took care of the guests from afar, and set up a beautiful and heroic stage, this trip can not be without gorgeous decorations, but also without warm hospitality, everything needs to go on, after all, this is the final assessment, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, in charge of the three armies, the opening of the Northern Expedition to resist the enemy, such a major event is of course indispensable to a lively, careful and thoughtful toss. I also have to take care of the Fan family's affairs, so it is appropriate to let Qiao Fu's case be handled, not to mention that Qiao Fu's case is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and he also came to Luoyang with them early, otherwise, the sky is unknown.

Just when the stage was being finely organized, Lin Maolin and several confessors followed Qiao Fu's case to the court, followed by more than a dozen samurai, and Fan Qiwei also followed to find out.
