Lin Yi's screams alarmed many prostitutes and guests who came to play in the brothel, and everyone immediately gathered to watch. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Tsk! The iron-faced and selfless Lord Bao Qingtian is punishing thieves again? Someone nodded in approval.

"I heard that this young man didn't study well at a young age, so he stole Mr. Liu Wubian's poetry collection to sell! Lord Bao was very angry, so he punished him! "There are insiders preaching.

"Our Lord Bao of Kaifeng Mansion is really wise! This young man, I don't look like a good thing, he must be a habitual thief, and he deserves to be killed! "There are prostitutes who have come to play, and they preach with righteous indignation.

"I'm a mud horse? Which eye did you see Lao Tzu stealing? Lin Yi climbed on the bench and heard it, and was so angry that he scolded in his heart. His own Prajna Gong has been successful in the recent past, but it is obvious that he has not practiced it in place, and the boards of these big men hit his buttocks, which hurt and hurt. For the sake of today's plan, I had to grit my teeth and endure it desperately, shouting loudly and crying more miserably, so that maybe they would stop fighting after this fight.

At this moment, suddenly Liu Xinyi squeezed in from the crowd, rushed to Lin Yi's side and grabbed the arm of a big man, and shouted anxiously: "Don't fight, big brothers!" He...... He was wronged! ”

One of the guards here recognized it as Liu Xinyi, and hurriedly ordered someone to stop, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Liu, our master just caught this thief who stole your father's poetry collection, and now we are ordering us to punish him!" ”

Liu Xinyi turned her head to look at Lin Yi's slick, bruised buttocks, her face was distressed, and she hurriedly said, "This big brother, please take me to see Uncle Bao quickly!" I'm here to explain this to him! ”

Which guard took Liu Xinyi into the house, and Lin Yi was also picked up by several big men, put on his pants, and helped him in.

Bao Gang was sitting in the chair and drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed, when he saw Liu Xinyi coming in, he smiled and said, "Niece Xian, why are you here?" ”

Liu Xinyi stepped forward and gave a salute, and said anxiously: "Uncle Bao, I made a mistake!" In fact, which poetry collection I handed over to Brother Lin Fu Zi for printing! You...... Wronged him! ”

Bao Gang's face immediately stiffened like a frozen volcano, and his mouth stammered: "But when I sat with your father before, he told me personally that he had never given his poetry collection to others for printing!" I thought he was really a thief, and I hated him for being young and not learning well, so I beat him up! Since the virtuous niece testified to him that he was not a thief, I let him go. At this point, he turned his head and ordered a few of his subordinates: "You severals! Let go of this little brother!

Several big men under his command agreed in unison, and let go of the hand holding Lin Yi together, Lin Yi had unbearable pain in his buttocks because he had no one to support him, and he couldn't help but scream 'ouch' and fell to the ground.

I'm a grass mud horse, how can you let go like this, do you have the intention to get along with Lao Tzu? Lin Yi scolded in his heart.

Bao Gang saw Lin Yi fall, and then lowered his face and reprimanded: "You and a damn bastard, who told you to be so heavy-handed?" Look at how badly this little brother has been beaten! Why don't you hurry up and help him up again! ”

Two big men came over, and they stretched out their hands to help Lin Yi. Lin Yi waved his hand hurriedly and said with a wry smile: "A few big brothers! A few big brothers! Don't help me, if you let go of your hands again, I still have to climb down, so let me crawl like this! With that, he covered his ass with one hand and screamed repeatedly.

"Did Brother Bao catch the thief who stole my poetry collection? Come and see who is so bold that he dares to steal my Liu Wubian's poetry collection to sell! As soon as the words fell, Liu Wubian broke into the door like a gust of wind.

"Daughter, why are you there? Hey! Isn't this the Ten Brothers? How did you get beaten like this, crawl on the ground, get up quickly, I, Liu Wubian, am also a leading figure in the capital, and Lord Bao of Kaifeng Prefect is my righteous brother, as long as you report my name, no one dares to bully you on the ground in the capital! Liu Wubian said loudly.

Bao Gang looked embarrassed, arched his hand at Liu Wubian, and said, "Brother Liu, didn't you just say that your poetry collection has not been handed over to anyone?" I just beat him up for stealing your poetry book? ”

Liu Wubian was surprised: "Brother Wang? Why do you want to steal my poetry book and sell it? You can't do this properly! "With that, pull your face up.

Liu Xinyi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Daddy! Your poetry collection was actually given to him by my daughter? He said he wanted to print your book of poems, and he promised me the money to publish it, so I gave him the book! ”

Liu Wubian's eyes widened and said, "Daughter! This Wang Shi is one of the five sons of Yangzhou, the great talent of the world, the literary talent is no worse than his father, you have taken a fancy to him, and you want to make your future husband better than your father, so you handed over your father's poetry collection to him? ”

Liu Xinyi's face was flushed, and she defended softly: "Daddy, there is no such thing." In fact, because the family is too poor these days, and you don't take money from home, my mother and I have no choice but to take your poetry collection to print and sell it! ”

It turned out to be a big misunderstanding? Look at what we've beaten this time, it's really wronged! Bao Gang is the prefect of Kaifeng, powerful, and he was beaten, who should we talk to? Besides, in ancient society, there was no reason for people to sue officials? Lin Yi was annoyed in his heart.

Liu Wubian said with a smile: "Brother Bao Xian, let me introduce you, this is a great talent in Yangzhou City, Wang Shi, a song and a cut plum is made by him, he also issued lottery tickets in Yangzhou City, and easily raised a large amount of disaster relief silver for the imperial court, can he be a strange man?" ”

Bao Gang stepped forward and arched his hand, and said with an unnatural smile: "Brother Wang, I have just offended, if you had said that it was my friend of Brother Liu, how could I beat you, don't you go to your heart!" It's just for you to get rid of some bad luck! In a few days, I will invite you to eat and drink, and I will accompany you.

Lin Yi was about to cry out if he was wronged! This beating is really wronged! When we go back, do we have to pay for a doctor? It's about to be the end of the month, the landlord is still forcing the rent money, and the master and servant of Xinyuelan still have to buy rice, noodles, and fat powder, and we are injured again, and we can't make money by selling books, what can we do? Thinking of all the hardships since the crossing, I have been walking the word 'back', sentimental life experience, and I can't help crying loudly!

Bao Gang panicked, spread his hands and said: "Little brother, I am also unintentional, please forgive me!" Seeing that Lin Yiwu was crying heavily, he said again: "Do it this way!" It's not easy for the little brother to work hard in the capital for the first time, what are your requirements, as long as I can help you, I will definitely help you! The tone was very sincere.

Lin Yi pondered: "Bao Gang is the prefect of Kaifeng, and he has a lot of power in his hands, if he comes forward to do him a small favor, as long as he makes good use of it, wouldn't he be a big deal?" Then his eyes rolled a few times, he had an idea in his heart, and said in a choked voice: "Then I will ask the adults for a small favor, I am going to open a bookstore recently, and I want to approve a piece of land to build a house and sell books opposite Taixue, and please agree to it!" ”

The land in the capital is expensive, especially the land near Taixue, where there are nearly 10,000 students alone, if I can open a bookstore there, I will definitely have a prosperous business and make a fortune. Lin Yi had already gone to the vicinity of Taixue to inspect before, and knew that there was still some idle land for sale in the hands of the government, this time Bao Gang had just done something wrong, if he could get a piece of land from him, or buy a piece cheaper, we would make a fortune!

When Bao Gang heard Lin Yi say this, his face was thoughtful, and he was silent, as if he was unwilling. Lin Yi simply covered his injured buttocks and cried.

Bao Gang's face was embarrassed, and at this time, a guard stepped forward with eyeballs, put his mouth to Bao Gang's ear and whispered a few words. Bao Gang's eyes lit up immediately, and he gave him a look of approval, turned around and laughed: "Little brother, this little thing is wrapped up in me, it just so happens that there is a piece of land near Taixue to sell, so I will sell it to you cheaper!" Speaking of this, he stretched out three fingers, shook them in front of Lin Yi, and said seriously: "Thirty thousand yuan, fifteen acres of land, you think it's a good deal!" ”

This ****** is too cost-effective, on average, it is only two yuan per acre, and you can't find this good thing with a lantern! Lin Yi was overjoyed and said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are really a great man of the blue sky, a good person!" ”

Bao Gang laughed and said: "As long as you don't scold me for being a big villain, I will burn high incense!" After a few ****, I will call someone to your house and give you the title deed with your name written on it, and you will have to prepare the silver at that time! ”

Lin Yi hurriedly nodded and agreed: "Master Xie, I will definitely prepare the money in the future!" After a pause, he said: "My lord, in fact, I don't call Wang Shi, my real name is Lin Yi, when writing the title deed, please don't write it wrong!" ”

Bao Gang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turned out to be Brother Lin Yi, I wrote it down, and I will never make a mistake." ”

Liu Wubian was puzzled: "Aren't you called Wang Shi?" How did you become Lin Yi? ”

Lin Yi then told how he became a monk, how he was beaten on the head, lost his memory, and threw himself into a brothel in Yangzhou. In the end, he said: "That's the way it is, please don't call Mr. Liu in one mouth, I don't want to go back to the brothel to be a turtle slave!" ”

Liu Wubian laughed and said, "I see! Brother Lin actually pretended to be a turtle slave to mess around in a brothel, and he can be regarded as a man of temperament! In the future, my home will be your home, even if you come to my house as a guest, our whole family will welcome it, don't you say? Daughter? Speaking of this, he squeezed his eyes at Liu Xinyi.

Liu Xinyi's face turned red, and she said in a coquettish voice: "Daddy, Brother Lin is already married?" ”

Liu Wubian was surprised: "Really? Then he looked annoyed and said, "Ahem! It's too late, it's been preempted, it seems that we can only be a pair of friends! At a glance, I saw Lin Yi's printed poetry collection, walked over and flipped through it, and said happily: "I have long wanted to publish this poetry collection, but I have no money, I didn't expect Brother Lin to help me achieve my wish!" There was a little excitement on his face.

Lin Yi apologized and said: "Mr. Liu, I didn't have your consent to print and sell your poetry collection for money, and I am also at fault, please forgive me!" ”

Liu Wubian shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" If I can publish my poetry collection in the world, it is also my life's wish, you have helped me, how can I blame you! You can sell it for money! ”

Lin Yi thanked Liu Wubian and got up to say goodbye. Bao Gang saw that Lin Yi was beaten by him and couldn't walk, so he couldn't go, so he ordered several of his subordinates to help Lin Yi downstairs, and ordered someone to prepare a soft sedan chair, accompanied by Liu Xinyi, to send Lin Yi home all the way.
