Text Chapter 182 White Tiger Festival Hall
Let's say that Lin Chong stayed outside the gate of Gao's house for a day, and he didn't see Lu Qian come out, so he had to go home first. Early the next morning, he picked up the wrist-untying knife and still wanted to go there, but Zhang was willing to let it go, but the hard persuasion did not yield results for a long time.
At this time, a voice came from outside: "Second brother is at home?" ”
When Lin Chong heard this, he immediately rushed out of the door, only to see a fat monk standing outside, who was his righteous brother Lu Zhishen.
"Brother, how did you find here?"
Lin Chong was very surprised by Lu Zhishen's sudden arrival.
"I haven't seen each other for many days, and I miss it tightly, so I looked for it all the way, and it happened that my brother was free, so we went to the third brother to drink two glasses of wine."
Lu Zhishen said that, and then Lalin rushed out. And Lin Chong didn't know what to say, so he turned around and ordered the Zhang family, so he had to follow.
Shanshui Inn, because he was worried that Lin Chong would stimulate Gao Yu too much and make it difficult to deal with the changes in the situation too quickly, Gu Haotian asked people to send a letter to Lu Zhishen early in the morning and asked him to ask Lin Chong to come over for a drink.
At the end of the day, Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong came to the Shanshui Inn, and Gu Haotian was already waiting. He led the two to a room in the back building, and then served wine and food, and the three righteous brothers chatted while eating.
"Second brother, why are you unhappy?" Gu Haotian asked knowingly.
"That is, when I found the house in the morning, I also saw the second brother's anger, but why?" Lu Zhishen then asked.
"Alas!"
Lin Chong sighed, picked up a glass of wine and drank it, but he was reluctant to speak.
"The second brother's secrets, even the two of us can't listen to them, why don't you treat us as brothers!"
When Lu Zhishen saw Lin Chong's mother-in-law's mother, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"It's not that the brothers don't want to talk about it, but it's really hard to say."
Lin Chong saw that Lu Zhishen was displeased, hesitated, and finally opened his mouth to talk about the experience of the past two days.
Lu Zhishen was furious when he heard this, and said: "If there is any trouble, tomorrow when the Sprinkle family cuts Gao Yanei and Lu Qian's fight, there will be nothing to say." ”
"But it's not appropriate, my brother is trying to be happy, but the second brother is doing things under Gao Yu, so I won't be at ease in the future."
Gu Haotian knew that Lin Chong was holding the iron rice bowl of the official family, and he was used to living a leisurely life, so he was reluctant to give up, otherwise he would not be forced to go to Liangshan, so he deliberately broke him.
"This pickled and dirty official mansion is very good to stay in, it is better for me to be a monk, and everyone is bullied to the family, with Gao Yanei's skinny nature, the brother still has no way out, so he simply makes a big one, and then lives happily in the manor of the third brother."
This Lu Zhishen seems to be rude, but in fact he is careful, but what he said is very insightful.
But Lin Chong sat there silently, years of fine clothes and jade food had indeed worn away his temperament a lot, and he still had illusions about this court in his heart, or he was unwilling to suddenly give up a stable and prosperous life. At this time, he suddenly remembered what his master said when he came to Beijing a few months ago, "We must take a long-term view, and don't just see some benefits in front of us", he moved in his heart but did not open his mouth after all.
"The second brother suddenly encountered an incident, and his mind was chaotic, so I won't mention this matter for the time being, just look at the changes in the situation and then make a decision. It's just that the younger brother has a word here, since the three of us are brothers, we should be of one heart and one mind, life and death together, and no one can betray their brothers for their own personal gain. ”
Gu Haotian said, and glanced at Lin Chong intentionally or unintentionally. Lu Zhishen naturally applauded loudly, and Lin Chong also nodded yes, but he felt that the third brother's eyes were a little strange, and he thought to himself, but he looked at me alone.
In fact, Gu Haotian told Lin Chong what he said, because he thought of a later incident and gave him a preventive injection in advance, so as not to hurt his brother's feelings at that time.
The three brothers drank and chatted, and sat from the end of the time to the beginning of the Shen period, before Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen got up to say goodbye, and at this time the three of them were already five or six points drunk.
Gu Haotian sent the two out of the door, and later, he called Xu Guanzhong and others out of the city to visit Sun An and Li Kui, and he had not seen them since the two brought Liangshan's brothers to the capital yesterday. A few people walked around the city, and after making sure that they were not watching, they went straight out of the east gate.
Outside the east gate, by the Wuzhang River, in the large courtyard placed by Zhu Gui, a hundred members of the Hengdao Battalion were crowded inside. Gu Haotian inspected it, but felt that all of them were energetic and mighty, and he was very satisfied. At that time, he asked Zhu Gui to secretly rent another courtyard near the Shanshui Inn, and ordered Sun An to sneak in with thirty people as surprise soldiers in case of emergency. After inspecting and deploying, it was late after the small gathering, and the group stayed outside the city.
When I returned to the Shanshui Inn the next day, it was already the end of the hour. But I saw Shi Qian walking back and forth restlessly in the inner hall.
"Why didn't Brother Shi Qian go out today?"
In recent days, the busiest thing for everyone in Beijing is Shi Qian, he led a group of people to keep an eye on the two dens of the Jurchens, and prevented Lu Qian and Gao Yu, and later added the responsibility of taking care of Lin Chong's family, which is rare to see every day, so Gu Hao asked this question.
"Little official, Sect Leader Lin may have an accident!"
Shi Qian saw Gu Haotian and his party coming in, and said anxiously.
"What's going on?"
Gu Haotian thought that he had just talked to Lin Chong for a long time yesterday, and with his character, he shouldn't act recklessly today.
"The brother from below came to report, Lin Chong brought something in the morning, and followed the two of them to the Taiwei Mansion, and they haven't come out yet, so I don't think it's very good."
Why did this thing happen, Gu Haotian was stunned for a moment, he felt that in the original book, Lin Chong waited at the door of Gao's house for three days, and then it took several days before the incident happened before he mistakenly entered the White Tiger Festival Hall, and now Gao Yu's rhythm is too fast!
At this time, Gu Haotian suddenly remembered that Lu Zhishen came, and the two of them left together last night, so they might have explored some clues, so they hurriedly sent someone to Xiangguo Temple to invite him.
After a while, Lu Zhishen hurried over, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Third brother, are you in a hurry?" ”
"My brother went back with my second brother last night? What happened along the way? ”
"No surprises!"
Lu Zhishen looked at the anxious appearance of a room of people, but he was confused.
"How many strangers have you met on the way, and what transactions have you made?"
Gu Haotian asked, and then Lu Zhishen suddenly remembered something.
"Yesterday, the two of us walked together, and when we arrived at the entrance of Yuewufang, we saw a big man, wearing an old battle robe, selling a treasure knife, and the Lin Chong brothers ignored him, but the man said, 'There is no one in Tokyo who knows weapons.'" Brother Lin turned around to look, and the man swooped out his knife, but it was cold, but it was a really attractive good knife. The Lin brothers later sold it for a thousand yuan, and the two of us broke up and went our separate ways. ”
As soon as Lu Zhishen said that Lin Chong bought a knife, Gu Haotian knew that it was bad, and the play in the White Tiger Festival Hall must have been staged in advance. Although he knew that Lin Chong was in danger of this matter, this era had changed too much, and he didn't dare to take it lightly. Immediately, the time moved to strengthen the protection of the Lin family, and while someone was investigating the master of Kaifeng Mansion, Sun Dingsun Fo'er, who was in charge of the case, he wanted to find an opportunity to find a point, because it was this person who saved Lin Chong's life in the original book.
Let's say that in the Taiwei Mansion, Lin Chong followed the two messengers into a room, and then the two messengers went by themselves, and they didn't come out for a while, so they couldn't help but be suspicious, but when they looked closely, they saw four big cyan characters on the plaque on the cornice: "White Tiger Festival Hall". Suddenly realized that this was a military aircraft place, and idlers were not allowed to come in, and he was about to turn around and leave, but he saw Gao Yu walking in.
Lin Chong hurriedly explained the reason, but Gao Yu was willing to listen, and saw him shouting:
"How dare you trespass into the White Tiger Festival Hall, do you want to assassinate this official? Come on, get this guy for me!"
Immediately, dozens of people came out of the ear rooms on both sides, dragged Lin Chong over and tied him, and then ordered someone to send Lin Chong to Kaifeng Mansion, so that Teng Governor's Mansion could understand the trial and behead him.
In the afternoon of the same day, a strange guest came to Zhang Jiaotou's house in the west of the city. This sect leader is Lin Chong's father-in-law, and I see that he is about fifty years old, and he has an extraordinary bearing. At this time, he had just heard the news that his son-in-law had been imprisoned, and he was in a hurry to live in Kaifeng Mansion to find out the news, when he suddenly saw a few people outside the door coming in, but he was puzzled in his heart.
"Shi Bo Xiu is strange, in Xia Gu Haotian, but he is the junior brother of Lin Jiaotou, and the family teacher is also Master Zhou Dong."
After seeing the young man who took the lead reported to his home, he took out a bronze pendant from his chest. Zhang Jiaotou and Zhou Tong were already familiar with each other, and they had seen this unique pendant on his son-in-law, so he no longer had any suspicions and led a few people into the house.
"What's the matter with how many of you are here?" Zhang Jiaotou asked as soon as he sat down.
"But I'm here for my brother's business."
Gu Haotian replied, and then said the beginning and end of Lin Chong's incident. Zhang Jiaotou Fang Shi understood the reason, he thought of Gao Yu's high position and ruthlessness, and he was stunned for a while, at a loss.
"Shibo is familiar with Master Sun of Kaifeng Mansion, I heard that this person is upright, and he also talks to Teng Governor's Mansion, and he is usually willing to solve problems for others."
Gu Haotian expected that Zhang Jiaotou had something to do with this person, and if Zhang Jiaotou hadn't gone to the yamen in the original trajectory, he wouldn't have easily had a relationship with him.
"There are several acquaintances, but I don't know if I am willing to help each other."
Sure enough, Zhang Jiaotou and Sun Ding knew each other, but they may not have a deep friendship and are a little unconfident.
"Shibo just looks for him, I don't think he will refuse, and I will find someone to talk to him in Teng's mansion. It's just that there is one more thing, my sister-in-law is no longer safe, and I have to take her to you, if Gao Yanei comes to entangle in the future, Shibo only deduces that Lin Jiaotou is still in the world, and there is no reason to remarry, and the rest of the things will be dealt with in the future. ”
"The son-in-law is a good blessing to cultivate in his previous life, and he has a good brother like you."
Zhang Jiaotou sighed with emotion, because the matter was urgent, and there was nothing to say, so the two went their separate ways.
Let's say that the Teng Prefect Mansion of Kaifeng Mansion was indirectly involved in a prisoner from Taiwei Mansion because of noon, but now he has a headache. When the Taiwei Mansion sent the prisoner, he said that this person "trespassed into the White Tiger Hall" and asked for his death penalty, and he didn't care much about the life or death of a military man, but who knew that Cai Xiang's Wulang came over in the afternoon, but said that Lin Jiaotou was wronged, and the crime was not to death. This taught him to be embarrassed, and he thought about it again and again and did not have a safe way, so he asked his master and grandson to come over.
This Sun must be a man in his thirties, not tall, with bright eyes, but he looks shrewd and capable. This afternoon, he had already received the request of Zhang Jiaotou, and he already knew the call of Teng Zhifu.
Sure enough, the prefect of Nateng said Lin Chong's case. Sun Ding said: "Who doesn't know that Gao Ya does all kinds of evil, and Gao Taiwei is powerful and domineering? Kaifeng Mansion belongs to the emperor, not his Gao family, how can he kill if he wants, and chop if he wants? ”
Governor Teng was taken aback and shouted, "Hugh is talking nonsense." ”
Sun Ding said with a smile: "Not to mention that Lin Chong saw that he was wronged, if the lord followed the will of the captain, then how should Cai Xiang reply, I heard that in the court that day, for the matter of Princess Yurong, Cai Xiang and Gao Taiwei could have a dispute, who knows whether Lin Chong's matter is related to that matter." ”
When the prefect of Nateng heard this, he felt worried again, so he asked, "How is that good?" ”
"Looking down, we have nowhere to arrest those two errand boys, there is no evidence, and it is not good to overturn the case for Lin Chong. The adults only need to change the word "trespassing" in "trespassing into the White Tiger Hall" to the word "mistake", and he can be exempted from the death penalty. Besides, when Cai Jiagoro came over in the afternoon, he only said that the crime would not lead to death, and the adults said that both sides of the case were in the past. ”
Let's say that after listening to Sun Ding's words, Teng Zhifu thought about it in his heart and felt that it was feasible, so he acted according to the plan.
