Chapter 12 The Old Tavern of the Lin Family

Cheng Bocheng walked in the front quite arrogantly, as if doing so would make his identity a little taller, but seeing him waving a folding fan and pretending to be a chic posture, Lin Xifeng couldn't help but laugh a little, he knew very well how much ink this guy had in his stomach, and he couldn't even count the students of West Lake College.

When passing by the Lin family tavern that had been sold, Lin Xifeng felt that the sign in front of the tavern was a little dazzling under the sun, and the unfamiliar three words 'Fenghua drunk' clearly told him that this tavern had nothing to do with the Lin family for a long time.

Liu Lian'er's eyes touched the tavern, and the thoughts in her mind instantly surged uncontrollably, remembering too many past events that she didn't want to remember, she quickly withdrew her gaze and looked at the West Lake, she didn't dare to stay in the tavern for too long, she could only pretend to enjoy the scenery by the lake.

"What? Could it be that Lin Gongzi still wants to redeem the tavern again? Seeing that Lin Xifeng's gaze had been on the tavern and refused to move away, Cheng Bocheng couldn't help but turn around and squeeze his words.

Lin Xifeng ignored him, retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward.

"Let's talk about the business of this tavern! It was the most popular when Master Lin was alive, and even literati and writers loved to come here to take the platform and chant poems on wine, even until the third watch, but now! Dong Fatzi's craftsmanship is really not good, and the tavern's business is getting worse and worse, it is better for Lin Gongzi to redeem the tavern from Dong Fatzi and then lose to Cheng, Cheng promises that he will definitely let the tavern business return to the same as when Master Lin is alive, and it will not live up to Master Lin's concern......"

Listening to Cheng Bocheng's sarcastic words, Lin Xifeng was still unmoved, and glanced at him expressionlessly: "Let's go quickly!" Don't waste time. ”

After speaking, Lin Xifeng's gaze slowly became firm, and his speed suddenly increased by a few points, and he became the leader in front of Cheng Bocheng, regardless of the gossip of others, and kept his mind empty.

Liu Lian'er hurriedly followed behind Lin Xifeng, carefully pinching his sleeves, seeing that Lin Xifeng did not show an unhappy expression, she was suitable, no matter when, she was unwilling to leave too far away from him.

Looking at the willow waist and round buttocks swaying in front of him, Cheng Bocheng's eyes slowly revealed a filthy color, grinned, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips gently......

Except for a small number of plains, most of the west bank of the West Lake is mountainous, and the few plains are occupied by houses and markets, which appear small but lively, and the territory on the east side of the West Lake no longer belongs to West Lake County, under the direct jurisdiction of the Hangzhou government.

Out of the alley of the Lin family, walk north along the West Lake for more than a mile, walk to a small valley mouth facing the shore of the West Lake, turn left towards the valley mouth, and the market of West Lake County is located.

Continue to walk towards the depths of the valley, the field of vision will gradually widen, this is a small basin surrounded by mountains, most of the civilians in Xihu County live in the basin, and those who can live on the shore of the West Lake outside the basin belong to the relatively wealthy people, the scenery and air there are much better than in the valley, such as the Lin family not far from the lake shore, that is the mansion left by Lin Xifeng when Lin was alive.

After a few people entered the basin, the first thing that caught their eyes was the prefect of the county government on the south side of the valley.

Cheng Bocheng threw the bow to a small servant, and personally stepped forward to beat the drum, the huge sound of 'dong dong' made Liu Lian'er feel as uncomfortable as knocking on her heart, and the time for the competition was getting closer and closer.

Liu Lian'er was a little confused, there were only two reasons why Lin Xifeng had this expression, one was that he was conceited and would definitely win Cheng Bocheng, so he wouldn't be worried; The second is that he doesn't care about himself at all, and if he loses, he loses, and it's not a big deal for him.

Although Liu Lian'er hopes that this is the first case, she also knows in her heart that Lin Xifeng's ball skills are not as good as Cheng Bocheng, and the chance of winning is too small, so from this point of view, it can only be the second situation.

Thinking of this, Liu Lian'er's eyes couldn't help but moisten again, and she secretly wiped her eyes with her sleeves, not daring to let Lin Xifeng see it.

A blue-shirted pawn ran out of the county office and waved at Lin Xifeng and Cheng Bocheng: "Two sons, but do you have a case to report?" ”

"Cheng Mou has a bet with this Lin Gongzi, but he has nowhere to borrow a fair person, Cheng Mou knows that the county adult is impartial, so he wants to ask the adult to be fair, and ask the little brother to make an announcement." Cheng Bocheng pointed to Lin Xifeng beside him, and then saluted back.

"Wait a minute......, two sons," the little pawn heard this, and after saying goodbye, he turned around and ran towards the county office.

After a while, the pawn ran out again and made a gesture of please: "Lord Zhixian is just empty, a few please!" ”

The county magistrate of Xihu County is named Liu Wen, who is in his forties this year, in Lin Xifeng's memory, he is still a good official, not to mention thinking about the people everywhere, but at least he will not collude with rich businessmen to defraud the people, Xihu County is also developing steadily under his governance, although it is still relatively poor, but this is the general situation of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and he can't change much with a county.

When Lin Xifeng and the others entered the county office, Liu Wen, who was wearing a blue shirt and official uniform, was already sitting on the front seat of the public court.

"The grass people knock to see the county magistrate." Several people worked together and said in unison. Lin Xifeng was not used to this, he basically didn't make a sound, just bowed with the right lip sync.

Ordinary civilians want to kneel when they see the magistrate, but Liu Wen once ordered that non-prisoners can not kneel, and they can do it, also to get closer to the civilians.

"I heard that the two sons want this county to be a fair person, I don't know what the bet is?" Liu Wen waved his hand with a smile and motioned for a few people to get up.

"That's the case, a few days ago, the grass people and ......" Cheng Bocheng hurriedly took Liu Wen's words and explained in a gullible manner.

Seeing that Cheng Bocheng loved to steal the limelight so much, Lin Xifeng ignored him, just happy and comfortable.

After Cheng Bocheng explained completely, Liu Wen couldn't help but glance at the willow curtain on Lin Xifeng's side, and then thought of his yellow-faced woman, Liu Wen couldn't help but feel a little envious, and after coughing lightly, he said to Lin Xifeng: "Lin Gongzi, is what Cheng Gongzi said true?" ”

"Yes." Lin Xifeng's answer was quite concise, he didn't like this atmosphere, he just wanted to end this matter quickly.

Liu Wen nodded, turned to look at the master with both hands on the side and said, "Shuqing, you come to set up a note according to what Cheng Gongzi said, and let the two of them sign and draw the pledge." ”

"Yes, sir." The master who called Shuqing went back to the side room next to the public hall, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write gambling notes in front of Lin Xifeng and several others.

After the signing is completed, it is finally time to get to the point.

However, Liu Wen did not let the two compete in the court, but led them out of the county office and walked towards the back of the county office.

When he came to the back of the county office, a large open field appeared in front of him, and Lin Xifeng saw two simple doorways made of wood on both sides of the field, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Could this be the 'football field' of the Song Dynasty?" ”
