Chapter 226: Treacherous Ambition
People who are suffering from madness often have instinctive intuition beyond normal people, and when they found that Qin Lin was not good, Xu Wenchang immediately took two steps back, his face full of vigilance.
Dong Chao was nodding towards Qin Lin, and when he saw Xu Wenchang like this, he immediately raised his slap to slap: "You old madman, do you know that this chief is ......"
Before he finished speaking, Qin Lin shook his head and asked Dong Chao to stop.
Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, but they saw Chief Qin's face full of joy, and he smiled at the old madman and said: "Mr. Xu has been wronged, and this official knows that Mr. is loyal and righteous, but it is a pity that he became angry and sick because of the murder of the ministers who were loyal and good." ”
Suddenly, his face turned pale again, and he said to the catchers in a deep voice: "Mr. Xu is a great talent in the world, how can he be humiliated because of his words?" Why don't you untie it for Mr. yet! ”
Dong Chao's fart slapped on the horse's leg, and he couldn't help but be stunned, fortunately, he had been in the public for a long time, and knew the twists and turns inside, so he immediately accompanied Xu Wenchang with a smile to untie the flail and iron chains, and muttered apologies in his mouth.
Qin Lin also pretended to unlock the chain with his own hands, and he had to act in a full set.
Xu Xinyi was puzzled. He said to himself: "What the hell is this guy Qin Lin doing? Eh, it seems that I have seen this one somewhere, why does Miss Ben look familiar? ”
"Cao Mengde," Zhang Zixuan pouted, Qin Lin's tricks could not be hidden from her.
Xu Xinyi suddenly realized that every time Cao Gong appeared in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there must be two ** treasures of "personally untying his bonds" and "thick burial".
Qin Lin also used this trick, waiting for Xu Wenchang to push the golden mountain and fall the jade pillar, and said, "Brother Song is worshiped by me on the top", oh no, it's wrong, it's crossed into a water margin, it should be a fist with both hands, and shouted that the chief treats each other like this, and the general is willing to surrender.
Unexpectedly, after the iron chains were untied, Xu Wenchang patted the dust on his body, not only did he not cooperate at all, but also sneered with his strange eyes, and his accent changed to Nanjing official dialect again: "Who will deceive the thief official?" You have the spirit of a hero, your eyebrows are light and your forehead is wide, and you have a wolf look at you, and you have a cloud in the photo book 'The eyebrows are light and the forehead is unfathomable, and the eagle looks at the wolf Gu is a male', Xu Mou is not fooled by you! ”
Poof-Xu Xinyi leaned back and smiled back, Zhang Zixuan couldn't help laughing, and Qingdai also pursed her mouth and grinned.
The female soldier A didn't understand: "What is Qin Gongzi doing?" ”
B and C look at each other and shake their heads.
"I know, I know," Xiao Ding said with confidence: "Qin Gongzi is looking for that old madman to look at him!" ”
Hum...... A, B, and C raised their eyebrows at the same time, narrowed their eyes, and snorted twice from their noses, crying and laughing.
Qin Lin was defeated for the first time, and the difficulty of recruiting historical celebrities was S-level tasks? However, he has never been superstitious about how great a big cow is, of course it is good to be able to use it for me, and if he can't, Qin Ye will not [***] him.
The smile suddenly fell, and Qin Lin waved his hand boringly: "It seems that this official and Mr. have no relationship, Dong Zhutou, let's lock Mr. Xu back to Tianfu." ”
No way! Dong Chao almost fell into an upside-down onion, Chief Qin's face turned too quickly, he was still "Mr. Dacai" just now, and immediately turned into a lock to respond to Tianfu, it was really decisive!
However, he is also a small character who acts obediently, and when he heard this, he did not hesitate to command the catchers to lock Xu Wenchang again, and the old man immediately turned into a big lobster again, but seeing him like that, he grinned at Qin Lin, and seemed to be quite happy.
Is it true that the mentally ill have a wide range of ideas, and the mentally handicapped idiot has a lot of fun?
Xu Xinyi and Qing Daiwu couldn't stop laughing to themselves, but Zhang Zixuan's smile was fixed on their faces, looking at Qin Lin's back and nodding again and again, they felt more and more that this guy was very dark-bellied, brave and decisive, and he was a person who achieved great things.
Qin Lin turned around and left with a little disappointment, ignoring Xu Wenchang and Catcher.
Xu Xinyi laughed and said, "Haha, Qin Lin, Miss Ben finally saw that you were deflated, how about it, the old madman is not easy to provoke, right?" ”
Before the words fell, Xu Wenchang, who was about to be arrested, suddenly struggled like crazy, and shouted loudly: "Qin Lin, you said it was Qin Lin?" Is it the Jinyi Wei deputy Qianhu who played the imperial court to appease the Wufeng maritime merchants? ”
The catchers didn't know what this crazy old guy was going to do, and all of a sudden his strength was several times greater, and several big men tried their best to hold him down.
Qin Lin turned his head and touched his chin inexplicably: "Didn't the official say it just now?" Well, I don't think I said it......"
Knowing that it was indeed Qin Lin who appeased the Wufeng maritime merchants, Xu Wenchang immediately stopped going crazy, his eyes became clear and bright, and he knelt on the ground and shouted: "Chief Qin recruited the Wufeng maritime merchants and found a way to survive for the coastal people, which is a great contribution to Ping Haibo, Li Wanmin, and Fu Sheji, the old man has eyes but no beads, and he can't recognize the real person in person, and he is a capital crime!" The old man is willing to follow Chief Qin and follow the work of dogs and horses! ”
Damn, this is the standard tiger body, a shock to the king's overlord's spirit! Qin Lin's smile was extremely bright, he turned around and pretended to be busy, and helped Xu Wenchang up with both hands: "Mr. Xu, please hurry up, how can this official He De be so blind to Mr. Xu?" Fortunately, very lucky. ”
Why did Xu Wenchang go before and then compliment? It turned out that he was in the shogunate of Hu Zongxian, and assisted the anti-Japanese marshal in formulating a policy of pacifying and suppressing the Japanese, appeased Wang Zhi of the civilian maritime business group, and suppressed the true Japanese and pirates, and opened up trade after pacifying the pirates, revitalized the maritime trade, and opened up the source of profits.
In fact, this set of measures is the same idea as Zhang Juzheng's appeasement of Altan Khan, and it was more than ten years earlier, if it is actually implemented, it will not be as violent as the large-scale rebellion in the southeast in the middle and late Jiajing Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, he was accused by the Qingliu literati, and then falsely accused and framed, Wang Zhi was beheaded, Hu Zongxian was wronged, and later was falsely accused by Qingliu of Yan Song's party and died in prison, and the southeast Japanese rebellion became more and more intense, and the people were killed and injured countless times.
Seeing that the good situation created by him and Hu Zongxian was ruined, and the soldiers and civilians were needless to sacrifice, Xu Wenchang was secretly sick under his grief, and he had madness from then on.
And Qin Lin advocated the rehabilitation of Wang Zhi and the pacification of Wufeng maritime merchants, although the imperial court has not officially made it public, the Beijing court has discussed it several times, so naturally there is news.
When Xu Wenchang heard the news, he was overjoyed, and regarded Qin Lin as the third confidant in his life besides Hu Zongxian and Wu Dui, and he couldn't wait to work for him immediately.
He was crazy, and he didn't know that Ziqing Shuangshu was Qin Lin's friend, so he talked crazy nonsense in the teahouse, and he didn't know each other if he didn't fight.
"Why don't you untie Mr. Xu yet?" Qin Lin held Xu Wenchang with both hands and glared at Dong Chao.
Well, it's all this guy who does good things.
Dong Chao didn't dare to complain, and quickly opened the chains with his brothers, and a few catchers didn't dare to laugh in front of them, and their hearts were already happy: It's fun today, this iron chain is tied and untied, untied and locked, how many times have you been back and forth?
Xu Wenchang's reputation is extremely loud, if he is willing to assist Qin Lin wholeheartedly, Zhang Zixuan and Xu Xinyi are optimistic about his success, but this person has been suffering from madness for a long time, and no one can say how many facts are left.
Xu Xinyi suddenly laughed, looking extremely strange.
"What's wrong with Sister Xu?" Qingdai couldn't hold back her words, so she asked her immediately.
Xu Xinyi laughed first, and then said in a low voice: "Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, but Qin Lin was able to solve Xu Wenchang with two locks, which is the reflection of ancient and modern. ”
Zhang Zixuan raised her eyebrows slightly, her lips moved, and she didn't say anything in the end.
Qin Lin took Xu Wenchang back to the mansion, first bathed him, took new clothes to replace the tattered one, and then instructed the servants to take tonic medicine for him to recuperate.
Xu Wenchang learned that he was the deputy Qianhu of Qin who appeased the Wufeng maritime merchants, and he was bent on assisting him, and his attitude towards the problem was different if he had different mentalities. ”
Qin Lin talked with Xu Wenchang, and found that this old man really had material in his stomach, could speak various local dialects, was fluent in Korean and Mandarin, and spoke of the southern coastal defense and the northern fortress defense, and also had unique views on the political disputes in the imperial court and the situation of the various vassal states in the world.
Xu Wenchang is not an ordinary person, after all, he is the first genius in the south of the Yangtze River, he can be literate and martial, and he is second to none in the shogunate of an anti-Japanese marshal and a governor of Xuanhua.
It's just that as soon as he mentioned the fact that Wang Zhi was killed, Hu Zongxian was aggrieved, and the situation festered after the failure of the appeasement, Xu Wenchang was extremely angry, and his mouth scolded from heaven to earth, and his expression was like madness.
Qin Lin knew that this was a symptom of madness, and Xu Wenchang's problem was intermittent schizophrenia in later generations, sometimes good and sometimes bad, if you want to completely cure it, you have to have heart medicine for heart disease.
From Xu Wenchang's mouth, Qin Lin also got an unexpected gain.
After seeing the seven-star sword in the study, Xu Wenchang inquired about the salvage location, and told Qin Lin mysteriously: "With this sword, the chief will be the assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty in the future!" ”
Oh? Qin Lin was puzzled.
Xu Wenchang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "This sword is Chen Youliang's sword, breaking gold and cutting jade, cutting rhinos on land, and splitting Jiaojiao in the sea, it is said that it can determine the world. Now the sword has been obtained by the chief again, and I should be in the Ming Dynasty, and the chief will be a marquis. ”
Qin Lin didn't believe it when he heard it, and said: "If it is said that the sword can determine the world, then the first one to pick it up from the river is the tangerine leatherman, but he was arrested by the official for murder, and he has already opened the knife at this moment, how can he talk about the marquis and worship the general?" ”
Xu Wenchang was dumbfounded for a long time when he heard this, and he had already looked up to Qin Lin by three points in his heart, and those who have achieved great things are not confused by false words, and they must have firm beliefs.
Perhaps, this Qin Lin and Qin chief will stand in a higher position than Wu Dui and Hu Zongxian in the future? Xu Wenchang couldn't help but be taken aback by his own idea.
