Chapter 46: Loyal and Righteous Bandits (Asking for Coffee)
Chen Lin visited Queen Pei, but he didn't make any moves, and still monitored Wang Ji every day to observe Wang Ji's preferences and routines. On this day, the sergeant who was monitoring Wang Ji's manor came to report, saying that for two days in a row, there was a group of people outside Wang Ji's manor, who were also monitoring Wang Ji. The sergeant did not dare to approach without permission, so he had to report to Chen Lin. When Chen Lin heard this, he thought about it, there was nothing in the city anyway, so why don't you go and see in person who is walking around outside Wang Ji's manor.
So Chen Lin took the Pu knife and went with Huang Yan with the sergeant, Wang Ji's manor was only a few miles away, and it would arrive in a while, Chen Lin saw that his sergeant was hiding in the dense bushes, and he really couldn't find it if he didn't look closer. Across the manor, it was a hundred zhang away, and when the original sergeant saw Chen Lin coming, he said, "My lord, please see, that is the manor of Wang Guoxiang." According to the observation of the past few days, there are no less than 50 people in the nursing home, and the surrounding nearly 10,000 acres of land are owned by the kingdom, and the subordinates inadvertently learned from the local people that the country minister is extremely cruel, and the villagers avoid it. Adults look again, on the other side of the manor, about 100 zhang, there are a few people, who have been staring at the manor since the day before yesterday. ”
Chen Lin followed what the sergeant said, first of all, the general appearance of Wang Ji's manor, he didn't expect Wang Ji to build such a luxurious mansion in the countryside, the door wall is more than two feet, if it weren't for the place where Chen Lin and the others stood higher, I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to see the appearance of the garden at all. Chen Lin looked at the people mentioned by the sergeant again, the two places were far apart, and they were all among the bushes, so they couldn't see it very really. Chen Lin only felt that this group of people was dressed in tatters, but they were not from any family. I saw that all of them were carrying steel knives or short swords, and they did not look like ordinary people.
Chen Lin turned back to Huang Yan and said, "Huang Yan, why do you think those people are more like bandits?" Huang Yan looked at it again and said, "Like, could it be that the strongman who robbed the house is worried about the kingdom?" The eldest young master might as well find a few people here to inquire and see if there are any bandits nearby, so that he can find out. ”
Chen Lin felt justified, so he asked a sergeant to lead the way and go to some people to ask. The sergeant was here for several days, familiar with the road, and after a while, he found the countryman, and Chen Lin was busy asking questions in his heart. Sure enough, as Huang Yan said, there is a mountain forest called Zeyan in this Pei country, which is connected with Mangdang Mountain in Liang country. There is a group of strongmen hidden in it, no one knows how many people there are, only that the leader is called Scar, and the names of Peiguo, Liang and other counties are unknown. This gang of bandits has never robbed the rural people, but they have robbed a lot of Han officials, and they are ruthless. As soon as the scar heard that there was wind and grass outside, he rushed into Zeyan-Mangdang Mountain, so that you could not find it.
Huang Yan hurriedly said to Chen Lin: "The eldest young master, this scar's attitude is unknown, you can't easily meet with it, if this person is confused, seeing that the eldest young master is an officer and soldier, it is not good for the eldest young master, I am afraid that we will suffer." "Huang Yan first thinks about Chen Lin's safety, and then that is the task.
Chen Lin thought for a while, and said disapprerovitically: "Otherwise, now it is certain that the ** of the ten people in that group was sent by Scar to wait and see." Lord Yang ordered me to find evidence of Wang Ji's murder, and Lord Yang once said that Wang Ji killed 10,000 people in five years, wouldn't he kill people every day. In the past few days, Wang Ji has not been seen to go elsewhere, only in the manor and the county seat, and King Pei also said that Wang Ji often forced young men and women to be slaves, and then the slave men and women usually disappeared. I think there must be something strange about this manor, and there are many Wangji Guardians, if you use the power of this group, otherwise it will be difficult to find out. ”
Huang Yan was taken aback: "The eldest young master is saying that he teamed up with the mountain bandits to raid Wang Ji's manor, this, this is an official of the imperial court, eldest young master?" Chen Lin said fiercely: "Killing 10,000 people in five years, even if it is 10,000 deaths, it is enough, if it weren't for Lord Yang's desire to bring down the eunuch Wang Fu, the little Wang Ji, and the young master secretly slaughtered it with a knife, why spend so much trouble." Huang Yan looked at Chen Lin who walked to the front, and always felt that his eldest young master had changed, but he said where the change was.
As soon as Chen Lin and the others returned to the monitoring position, there were several wolf howls in Wang Ji's manor, which was very scary. Chen Lin naturally said to himself: "Wang Ji still raises wolves? But when the sergeant heard it, he thought he was asking him, and hurriedly replied: "My lord, I am afraid that there are really wolves in this manor, and they bark more happily at night." "Chen Linjin has interacted with this group of Si Lijun and knows that if these Si Lijun treat you respectfully, it means that they are just carrying out military orders and do not agree with you at all. If as soon as they met, Si Lijun stepped forward and patted you on the shoulder regardless of his identity, and even kicked you, it means that you have been recognized by him.
Chen Lin didn't have much to think about this, and beckoned Huang Yan to meet with the people on the other side to see if it was Scar. also left one person to observe, Chen Lin specially instructed that if he saw anything wrong, he would immediately report to the official to save him, and his identity would be exposed, and his life would matter.
Chen Lin and the three of them slowly walked towards those people, and those people also saw Chen Lin, and saw that Chen Lin and the three of them were all weapons in hand, and they hurriedly guarded against Chen Lin. Chen Lin was afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so he hurriedly shouted: "But Zeyan Scar is a good man, we have no malicious intent?" A man who looked like a small leader on the opposite side carried a knife and shouted: "Which hero is on the other side, we are from Zeyan Cottage?" As soon as these two sentences were paired, Chen Lin and the three of them had already come to several people.
Chen Lin: "We have been monitoring Wang Ji Manor here for many days, and I am afraid that I saw a few heroes the day before yesterday and I am afraid that I also want to be in this manor, so I am not invited, I hope you don't misunderstand." The little leader was a little ashamed and said, "It turns out that the hero has taken a fancy to this fat meat, and I have offended the rock cottage." It's just that I'm not looking at this manor for a day or two, I'm going to act in these days, this ......"
When Chen Lin heard this, he knew that the other party had misunderstood, and thought that Chen Lin was also a robber and wanted to rob the business. Chen Lin didn't say anything, so as not to get into trouble, he couldn't understand with these little minions, and he had to see the scar. Chen Lin hurriedly said: "So, I don't know if the scar is a good man?" ”
"The big leader is in the mountains, and he will come here tomorrow at noon, I don't know what to call the hero?"
Chen Lin didn't tell him much, knowing that Scar was coming tomorrow, he made up his mind to come again tomorrow, and only left one sentence: "Tell your big leader Scar, it means that you will see you here tomorrow and have a big deal." He turned around and left.
Chen Lin made up his mind to cooperate with Scar, but he was afraid that Scar was bent on killing Wang Ji, Chen Lin didn't want anything, as long as Wang Ji escaped back to the county seat alive, in exchange, Chen Lin assisted Scar in breaking through the manor, if Scar didn't agree again, he would show his identity and threaten the official. Chen Lin just wanted to enter the manor to see what was inside. Even if he didn't find a clue, it didn't matter, Wang Ji couldn't suspect that the captain of Si Li would come up, at most he would send troops to kill Scar.
On the second day, Chen Lin really saw the so-called "scar", but this person's body shape was shorter than Chen Lin, but it was more vicissitudes, and there was an ugly scar on his face, from the left forehead to the right chin, through the whole face, no wonder it was called a scar. What Chen Lin didn't know was that this scar was originally a handsome son, and he was also a small official of the Han Dynasty, serving as the county government secretary, and he had a wife at home. Impatient with the county order, he inadvertently bumped into Scar's wife, and had a bad idea, so he ordered someone to break into Scar's house in the middle of the night, slash Scar, and rob his wife. Scar was slashed in the face and fainted, and the thief thought he was dead, so he grabbed Scar's wife and left. Scar woke up the next day, and before he arrived at the county government where the crime was reported, a colleague sneaked to announce it. His wife has died by hanging from the beam, and his reputation is not dishonored, and the county commander will send someone to hunt him down. Scar hurriedly fled in grief and anger, and since then he has been engaged in the business of killing officials and helping the poor, picking on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and killing is the destruction of the door.
Scar saw Chen Lin, and saw that Chen Lin was young, well-dressed, and not like a green forest person, so he asked: "Don't you even dare to say your name?" Chen Lin heard that Scar was a little guarded, and hurriedly spoke kindly: "Why does the big leader of Scar have to know the name of a certain person, the big leader just needs to know that something will not harm you, and he will not rob you of anything." ”
Scar Monster laughed: "Even if you don't want a big deal, and you don't want anything in the manor, I don't know what the strong man wants to do?" Chen Lin: "Yes, not only did he not rob the big chief, but also helped the big boss break the manor, just the same, not to kill Wang Ji." Scar laughed: "Why? At the same time, the big knife in his hand was clenched, as long as Chen Lin was wrong, he would slash and kill.
Chen Lin: "It is said that Wang Ji has killed more than 10,000 innocent people for officials in five years, and I want to know what mysteries there are in this manor that can make Wang Ji come every day." ”
Hearing Chen Lin say this, Scar lowered his head and thought about it, raised his head and laughed wildly, pointing at Chen Lin: "Hahaha, you are an officer and soldier." Hahahaha. The surrounding bandits brushed at Chen Lin and the others, and Huang Yan and the sergeant immediately drew their swords and guarded Chen Lin. Chen Lin was also covered with sweat in his palms, and pretended to be calm and said, "If you want to arrest you, only three people?" Chen Lin seemed quite determined.
The scar suddenly yelled at Chen Lin with a hideous face: "What is the investigation, why don't you kill it directly?" "I'm not afraid to frighten the people in the manor. As soon as Chen Lin heard that there was a play, as long as Scar didn't immediately order to kill himself, it would be easy to do, so "Wang Ji's godfather, Wang Fu." Chen Lin pretended to be very profound, and he didn't speak well.
When the scar heard this, he muttered: "Wang Fu, Wang Fu." Suddenly, he raised his head again, pointed a knife at Chen Lin, and said arrogantly: "So-and-so, promise you not to kill Wang Ji." Scar's startled behavior scared Chen Lin and the three of them several times to make a preemptive strike. This person is so crazy, and his behavior is also weird, and the rush and slowness are unpredictable.
After walking away, Huang Yan said to Chen Lin: "Young Master, this person is afraid that he is mentally disordered, can you believe it?" Chen Lin also has no bottom, and he doesn't know what kind of story this person has experienced, and he has become like this, but no one under the scar is afraid of the scar, and he thinks that the scar is still measured. If it's really a crazy person, how can so many little minions be willing to follow Scar. So he turned back to Huang Yan and said:
"Yes"
