Chapter 59: The Way to Prosperity (2)
Qian Jin bid farewell to the emperor, and rushed to the outside of the imperial city with a holy decree. When he arrived outside the gate of Zhenfu Division, Hong Menda had already gathered 200 Jinyi guards, and he was ready to open as soon as Qian Jin's holy decree came, and the two banner envoys, Mu Qing and Li Bin, were impressively listed.
When Qian Jin took a breath a little, Hong Menda asked eagerly: "Brother Qian, have you got the will?" ”
Qian Jin nodded, took out the holy decree from his arms and handed it to Hong Menda. After the latter took a closer look, he couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful, my brother did this beautifully." "It is clearly written in the holy decree that he should investigate this matter thoroughly. After thinking about it for a while, he already understood that this was the credit of Qian Jin's recommendation, and he was naturally grateful in his heart: "Brother, this kindness ......"
"There is no need for the brothers to see each other, has the residence of Chief Lin been clarified?"
"Of course, it's on Qinghe Street in Zhengxifang," Hong Menda said proudly, "Brother, don't forget what we Jinyiwei used to eat." ”
Qian Jin didn't answer, and now he and Jinyiwei still have a lot of things to do.
Don't think about it, as soon as he left on his front foot, Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Officials must have made some moves, and Director Lin is most likely worried about his life. Speaking of which, Director Lin did himself a big "favor" this time, how could such a "good person" let him die easily. Thinking of this, Qian Jin said to Hong Menda: "Brother Hong, wait a minute, you send two people with good foot strength to follow me, and you will lead the crowd to follow." ”
Hong Menda couldn't figure out what Qian Jin thought, but he still did it. He summoned Li Bin and Mu Qing and instructed: "Wait a minute, you two follow Qian Shi, what Qian Shi said, what do you do, do you understand?" ”
"Yes......"
"Yes......"
The two responded in unison.
Qian Jin asked for the holy decree from Hong Menda, and then led Li Bin and Mu Qing to rush towards Zhengxifang. Behind him, Hong Men Da made a brief mobilization of 200 Jinyi guards, and then set off towards the Lin Mansion.
Perhaps because they have been silent for too long, seeing so many brocade guards dispatched today, the people of the capital have already smelled danger in the air. There are brave threes and threes gathered on both sides of the street to watch.
…………
By the time Qian Jin and the three of them arrived at Qinghe Street, the gate of the Lin Mansion was already closed, and no one came to open the door even if Li Bin and Mu Qing knocked on the sky. Listening carefully, there was a lot of noise in the Lin Mansion, and there were women's cries from time to time.
Qian Jin frowned, and said in his heart: "Is it too late?" He motioned for Li and Mou to stop knocking on the door, and then walked along the one-and-a-half-height courtyard wall for a while, and finally found a slightly higher place. Li Bin and Mu Qing also followed closely.
"Rack up a scaffolding to help me." Qian Jin said to Li Bin and the others.
Li Bin and Mu Qing glanced at each other, both of them wondering what a "scaffolding" was. Qian Jin had to come back and demonstrate it to them. Li Bin comprehended quickly, even if his right wrist held his left wrist, his left wrist held Mu Qing's right wrist. Mu Qing did the same. The two of them successfully used their hands to make a "well" character.
Qian Jin held the shoulders of the two of them, then lightly stepped on the "hand frame" and shouted "get up". Li Bin and the others exerted force at the same time, and just lifted Qian Jin gently, just enough for him to hook the edge of the wall. After climbing the wall with great effort, he shouted at Li Bin again: "Borrow your portable sword." ”
Without thinking too much, Li Bin immediately untied his embroidered spring knife and threw it to Qian Jin. Qian Jin took it with one hand, then chose a flat place in the wall and threw it down, and jumped down after him.
After landing on the ground, Qian Jin raised his eyes to investigate the surrounding situation. This should be a backyard, with fewer people and relatively safe. So he patted the dust on his hands, bent down and picked up Li Bin's knife. It seems that in the future, we will have to build some special tools, and it would be ugly if they all climbed over the wall like today.
Just as he was about to leave, Li Bin and Mu Qing also climbed down from the fence after him, and Qian Jin's jaw was about to drop: "So fast? How did you get here? ”
"That's it......" Mu Qing said solemnly, and demonstrated it again. I saw him take a few steps back, and then he trotted all the way to the wall and stepped on it twice, and with his hand he hooked the edge of the wall, and with a little more force, he succeeded in climbing the wall.
"Awesome......" Qian Jin's face turned red. Originally, he thought that this wall was difficult to climb, so he was ready to let Li and Mu wait outside, and he went to the Lin Mansion alone, never thought that Hong Menda's two subordinates were so agile, and he was not only "stupid" in comparison.
"Let's go......" Qian Jin turned around and walked into the courtyard, just to hide his embarrassment.
The three of them searched the courtyard for a while, but found nothing. Just as they were about to go to the front yard to catch someone to ask, a half-grown guy ran over in a panic and happened to be stopped by them when he passed the corridor.
The little guy saw that Qian Jin was wearing a green robe, and Li Bin and Mu Qing next to him were wearing the standard official robes of Jinyi Wei, so they fled without saying a word.
"Wait," Qian Jin shouted in a low voice, "Your family Lin is in danger, and this official has come to rescue him on the orders of His Majesty, so I don't want to tell him about his whereabouts quickly." "This trick of his scared people to death is not worth his life, and he will stop the little guy first.
Sure enough, when the little servant heard that Qian Jin was sent by His Majesty, he stopped, turned around and saluted again, and said, "Director Shicailin has dismissed all the family members, and now he has gone to the back garden with a few officials to discuss important matters. ”
Qian Jin couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said in his heart: If there is anything important to discuss when you go to the back garden, most of them are going to be cooked, these officials are really not vegetarians, they act so decisively and quickly, and they immediately "cut" when they notice that something is wrong.
Li Bin took advantage of the moment when the little guy spoke, and a few ups and downs had already jumped behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Lead the way ahead." ”
The little guy had a frightened look on his face, and had to do as he was told. When he reached a round stone arch, the little man turned around and said, "Three adults, this is the back garden...... Before he could finish speaking, Li Bin slashed him on the neck with a palm knife, and the latter fell to the ground softly. Mu Qing pulled out the embroidered spring knife and walked in front carefully, in case someone suddenly killed. Qian Jin also pulled out the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and Li Bin also pulled out a dagger from the leggings. The trio of them poked into the back garden.
This garden is not large, except for some flowers and plants, an old locust tree in the courtyard is the most eye-catching, and the sunlight of the whole yard is densely blocked.
At this time, under the old locust tree, Lin Principal was lying on his back on the ground; A green-robed official crouched behind him, holding a white silk tightly around his neck; Next to the green-robed officer stood four men in black on guard; A zhang of white silk was hanging on a thick branch that grew obliquely above their heads, fluttering gently, like a powerful ghost about to pounce on the forest master on the ground.
Qian Jin only glanced at the scene and already understood. It is estimated that the chief of this forest knew that he would not be spared, so he planned to cut it off on his own, but when he was really about to die, he was still afraid. The green-robed official simply took matters into his own hands to "help".
Looking at Director Lin again, I saw that his eyes burst out and his tongue stretched out, which was the critical moment when there was more air out and less air in. Qian Jin coughed lightly and said seriously: "Everyone, it's hard work. ”
The green-robed official was startled by Qian Jin's voice, and his hand loosened, and Master Lin breathed this breath and came back to life. However, at the moment, he was also uncomfortably tight, and he was clutching his neck and coughing violently.
Taking advantage of the green-robed official's head, Qian Jin took a closer look and found that this person he had seen in the official department should be Liu Shilang's cronies. It seems that the officials really plan to "cut off" with Director Lin.
Qian Jin couldn't help muttering: I only planned to make a small fortune by copying my family, and I don't like to fight and kill, so the officials are so nervous.
The green-robed official didn't think so. I saw that he glanced at the four black-clothed people next to him, and he grabbed the white silk and continued to tighten the neck of Chief Lin.
Director Lin has already died once, this time he categorically refused to die again, at this time he was struggling desperately, and one hand was stuck between Bai Aya and his neck, preventing the life-threatening Bai Aya from tightening himself. The two sides were at a stalemate for a while.
The four men in black scattered and rushed towards Qian Jin and the three, using lancets in their hands. This lancet is a very ordinary weapon, and ordinary practitioners can use it.
Seeing the man in black approaching step by step, Qian Jin quickly deduced the enemy's strategy in his mind. Speaking of which, this is the second time he has faced the enemy head-on, although the Qian knife technique has been practiced by him, but after all, he has too little experience in facing the enemy. Now is the moment when Lord Lin's life and death are at stake, and a quick solution must be made. The opponent has an advantage in numbers, and the other party must be solved first.
Thinking of this, he raised his knife and pounced on a man in black, wanting to shake back one person with the power of thunder. As a result, before he could make contact with the man in black, two figures had already flown out beside him, it was Li Bin and Mu Qing.
Mu Qing made an embroidered spring knife, and took the path of reducing ten meetings with one force. I saw that he first used a knife to hold the lancet chopped by a man in black, and then used the force of the soles of his feet to force the other party back four or five steps. A man in black next to him wanted to come to support, but Mu Qing had already seen it out of the corner of his eye, and kicked out with one side. The man in black was hit in the stomach, and he suddenly vomited all the overnight food in pain. Taking advantage of the moment, Mu Qing stabbed straight into the chest and abdomen of the black-clothed man in front of him.
Mu Qing didn't advance but retreated, and went straight to the man in black who was forced to retreat before, and a volley side kick hit his chin, and the latter immediately rolled over and fell to the ground, and before he could get up, he was made up by Mu Qing with a knife, and he saw that he was not alive. Mu Qing then wiped the embroidered spring knife on the black-clothed man, put the knife into the sheath, and watched Li Bin face the enemy.
Li Bin took a light route here, a dagger was made by him, coupled with his flexible footwork, although the man in black was amazing, he always couldn't touch his body. And Li Bin moved between the two men in black, stabbing from time to time. In a few moments, the two men in black fell to the ground.
The whole process of fighting the enemy took less than half a cup of tea. Qian Jin touched his nose and said with a smile: "That's it?" ”
"It's over." Li Bin and Mu Qing bowed and replied.
