Chapter 7 Persuasiveness
Although Chen Mu is fourteen years old, he is by no means a straight intestine who says anything, after all, he is cultivated by his family background and is exposed to his ears and eyes, even if he does not cheat, he is by no means stunned.
He knows that he shouldn't be gullible, but now he is desperate, he also wants to win Lin Sheng's trust, so he will reveal his true identity in the head.
thought that his sincerity could impress Lin Sheng, who was full of anger in the rivers and lakes, but who knew that the other party took the wine bowl back.
As Lin Sheng said, drinking this bowl of wine is a good friend who plays together, but he didn't give Chen Mu this bowl of wine.
"You are honest with each other, Lin appreciates it very much, Lin likes to make friends with people like you who are upright and not tricky, but the affairs of your Chen family are too big, Lin is just a down-and-out scholar, the family has little money, just eat and wait for death, in this matter, I really can't help you ......"
Lin Sheng said the same frankly, but Chen Mu still couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart, Lin Sheng didn't even ask Chen Muzhi what he wanted, so he completely refused, and he didn't want to have anything to do with the Chen family at all!
When Pu Wu brought him to ask for help, Chen Mu really rose with infinite hope, how great the hope is, how great the disappointment, and now this mood is like the cold rain outside, just hanging his head deeply, and he is also pitiful to the seeer.
Lin Sheng sighed lightly, untied the heavy silver bag around his waist, and gently placed it in front of Chen Mu.
This silver bag rattled, the sound was slightly dull, there should be a large piece of silver ingot in it, and this Lin Sheng was really helping.
"Here are twenty taels of silver, you can only help here......
Although Chen Mu's family is not bad, he is diligent and thrifty, and he is never extravagant, so he knows very well that these twenty taels of silver are enough for an ordinary family to spend for a long time.
But just like Pu Wu's help, he doesn't want his own peace and stability, he wants to rescue Hebo, retrieve his father's relics, he wants to keep his father's cousin, and he wants to avenge his family!
Chen Mu gritted his teeth and stood up, and said to Lin Sheng: "Uncle Lin's kindness, I understand it in the future, but Chen Mu doesn't need this ......."
After saying this, Chen Mu still gave Lin Sheng a salute, turned around and was about to leave, Pu Wu wanted to hold him, but Chen Mu felt ashamed and didn't want to stay for a long time, so he walked out of the compartment by himself.
This saltwater village is full of people, and Chen Mu doesn't want to cause trouble, if people recognize it, it will inevitably be troublesome, so he has to hide outside the compartment and wait for Pu Wu to come out.
However, he could also hear clearly that Pu Wu didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and was still pleading with Lin Sheng for him.
But when he heard Pu Wu Chao Lin Sheng say: "Master Lin, you are capable, can't you really help?" Although this child is from a wealthy background, his bearing is first-class......"
Lin Sheng was not polite to Pu Wu, and immediately replied: "This kid is really very temperamental to me, fifth brother, you saved my life, if you can really help, how can Lin be stingy and hesitant?" It's just that the Chen family's case has been ironclad, and whoever gets involved will end up in trouble......"
"It's not to complain to you, others see that my brother and I are doing well, fifth brother, how can you not know that your brother is just escaping the world......"
Chen Mu listened to it really outside, and he also understood Lin Sheng very well, after all, he was asking for help, it was his duty not to help you, it was his duty to help you, and he didn't get involved with his relatives, so how could he force it?
However, Pu Wu's actions really moved Chen Mu, but he heard Pu Wu snort coldly and teased mercilessly.
"Your Lin family is the fourth and third jinshi, the official eunuch heirloom, although you have tried many times, but you are kind and charitable, no one knows the name of Lin Sanye, don't talk about Xinhui, it is the entire Lingnan, no one in the official face can sell the face of your Lin family!"
"If you don't want to help, you don't want to help, Fifth Brother, I can't hold you with a knife, you drink your wine and play with your woman, Fifth Brother still has something, so I won't accompany you!"
Chen Mu outside could hear Pu Wu's dissatisfaction, and Lin Sheng was even more so, he sighed and said, "Fifth brother, why are you like this? Brother really doesn't know, why do you insist on helping him? The Chen family is not related to you, so why bother to bother yourself? ”
Pu Wu was silent for a long time, and Chen Mu heard him say: "My Tan family is begging for a life at sea, and the hardships are not worth mentioning, but now that the sailors are wandering away, foreign iron ships are rampant, and even going to sea to fish is not an easy task, if it weren't for Hong Shuntang in the name of the Haihui to keep the place for my Tan family to eat, this water village can't be saved, where can you Lin Sanye come here to play?" ”
"Think about you and I when I was fourteen years old, where could I be like him, even if my family was ruined, I still refused to give up, and now I am willing to fish for a living, and you are addicted to wine, and you have already thrown out of the sky, such a young man, shouldn't you pull him?"
Chen Mu always thought that Pu Wu was a big old man, although he could sometimes say one or two philosophical words, but he didn't expect that when he talked to Lin Sheng, Pu Wu was not rough and wooden, and it could be heard in these words that they had known each other for a long time, and there were many stories between the two!
Pu Wu's words were Chen Mudu's moves, but Lin Sheng was still indifferent, just towards Pu Wudao.
"It's not right for the fifth brother to say this, my brother still remembers, when the fifth brother was fourteen, he had robbed merchant ships at sea, was born and died, and ate the meal of cutting off his head, and my brother and I were fourteen years old, in order to take the exam, I studied hard in the cold window, day and night, and I vomited blood until I almost died.
"The fifth uncle actually used to be a sea coward!" Chen Mu was also taken aback, no wonder Pu Wu was fearless, it turned out that he was also a person in the rivers and lakes!
However, Chen Mu also understood that what Lin Sheng said was indeed reasonable, no one's wealth fell from the sky, and others had no obligation to help you.
At this time, even Chen Mu wanted to speak out and persuade Fifth Uncle Pu to come out, after all, Lin Sheng was already benevolent and righteous, and if he continued, he would damage the relationship between Fifth Uncle and Third Master Lin.
However, Pu Wu still did not give up, he did not listen to the sound for a long time, as if he was searching for the beginning, and then he heard him sigh faintly.
"If you and I had been promoted back then, why did you end up in such a field today? Do you want to look at Chen Mu, a young man, and become like you and me after many years? ”
There was silence inside, and after a while, Pu Wu opened the hatch of the compartment, Chen Mu saw that his face was solemn, and he thought that it would not be a matter after all, but Uncle Pu Wu had indeed tried his best, and he was also warm in his heart.
However, Pu Wu whispered to him: "What are you doing in a daze, come in!" ”
When Chen Mu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, there really is nothing better than this feeling of being lost and regained!
After sitting back in the compartment, Lin Sheng was not verbose, and said to Chen Mu: "Say, what do you want me to do." ”
Chen Mu knew that this opportunity was not easy to come by, so he was also very cautious, and after considering his words, he spoke.
"Yes, although my Chen family is dead, my father is still alive, and the old housekeeper of the family, Uncle He, is still in prison, and there are some things I have to ask clearly, so I hope the third master can help rescue him!"
When Lin Sheng heard this, he shook his head and said: "At this juncture, no one can get people out of the prison, I can go in to visit the prison, if you have anything to ask, just tell me, I'll help you ask clearly." ”
Chen Mu was suddenly a little embarrassed, he also knew that it was not realistic to want to save people, if he could ask where his father's private collection was, it would be good to take it first, in the end, Hebo was just the family manager, once the limelight of this matter passed, it was not impossible to think of fishing for people.
Moreover, Chen Mu suspected that what the government had been looking for was Hong Shuntang's roster, and the key left to him by his father was the key.
If he can get the roster first, he will be able to follow the roster and find helpers!
The people in Hong Shuntang, now Chen Mu really doesn't dare to be gullible, because he doesn't know who is the traitor who betrayed his father and brother, but there is one person who can be trusted, and his brother has mentioned it to him more than once, and even his father has mentioned it.
That's the West Pavilion Uncle of Hong Shuntang!
Uncle Xige is the secret word in the mouth of the hall, what he is in charge of is the punishment, he is the elder of the torture hall in the hall, and he is in charge of punishment, in order to avoid retaliation, so he has always been a dragon who sees the head and does not see the end, just like the impermanent ghost who asks for his life, only recognizing the laws and regulations of the gang and not being emotional.
It is precisely because of this that no one in the gang can find Uncle Xige except for the incense master, and now that Chen Qiyou is in trouble, Chen Mu can only find this Uncle Xige to preside over the overall situation!
Thinking of this, Chen Mu also temporarily let go of the idea of fishing out Hebo, if he could get the roster first, find Uncle Xige, and rescue Hebo.
Moreover, Chen Mu may be alone, but Uncle Xige will definitely be able to find out the traitor and avenge his father and brother!
However, the matter of going in to visit the prison must be done by Chen Mu himself, and Lin Sheng cannot be allowed to do it for him, because the roster is the most important treasure of Hong Shuntang, and it is about everything, how can he trust Lin Sheng?
Chen Mu has also learned a lesson, just as he trusted Master Gong, but didn't the government use Master Gong to set up an ambush for Chen Mu in the Maolong Pavilion?
The decision has been made, Chen Mu immediately shook his head and said: "Third Master, you take me in, I want to ask Uncle He in person, it's not that I can't trust the third master, but I don't want to cause the third master to kill me......"
When Lin Sheng heard this, he also smiled bitterly: "I thought you were a cheerful person, but if you can't believe it, you can say it directly, it turns out that you can also talk about the scene." ”
Chen Mu was also embarrassed, and was about to explain, but Lin Sheng waved his hand and said: "That's it, if I am a stingy ghost, I will not let you come in again, tomorrow you come over, I will take you to visit the prison." ”
Chen Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately thanked Lin Sheng, but the latter pushed the bowl of wine in front of Chen Mu and smiled at Chen Mu: "Now you can drink this bowl of wine!" ”
Chen Mu is still young, although he has secretly drunk a few times at the instigation of his brother, but he is not strong enough to drink, and he doesn't like the taste of drinking.
It's just that he knew that after drinking this bowl of wine, Lin Sheng treated him as a friend, gritted his teeth, took the wine bowl, and drank it all!
This bowl of wine was in his stomach, and his mouth and tongue suddenly became numb, as if a line of fire burned from his throat to his chest, Chen Mu's face first turned white, and then turned red, and fine rice sweat appeared on his forehead, and he was also grinning, and he couldn't spit it out if he wanted to.
Seeing this, Lin Sheng also laughed: "This is what a young man should look like, and if he drinks wine, he is my friend Lin Sheng, so I will stay here to play tonight, don't go back!" ”
When Chen Mu heard this, his heart was inevitably tight, he was still drinking, it would be meaningful to stay and play, what kind of place is this, this is the saltwater village!
