Early the next morning, Wang Yi came to the inn.

After seeing the ceremony, Shi Jin asked, "Can you find out the news of Lin Jiaotou?" ”

Wang Yi nodded and said: "I found out, but there seems to be something at Lin Jiaotou's house, he goes out early and returns late every day, and his face is not good, and his neighbors don't dare to go up to say hello." Why don't you wait a few days before you go? ”

Shi Jin shook his head and said, "Sect Leader Lin is my elder, and I am afraid that he will blame me if I go late." Take me to buy some gifts, and we'll go." ”

Wang Yi saw Shi Jin say this, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, then we have to hurry, otherwise Lin Jiaotou will go out after eating." ”

Lin Chong is also a native of Tokyo, if Lin Chong accompanies Shi Jin, he will naturally not need him.

He persuaded Shi Jin to go back in a few days, and he also had the meaning of helping to idle for a few more days and get some spare money.

"Okay, then let's go out."

Shi Jin didn't delay, and immediately led Shi Zhu and Wang Yi out.

bought a generous gift and came to Lin Chong's house.

When he arrived at the head of the Lin family, Shi Jin stepped forward and shouted, "Is the head of the Lin sect at home?" ”

Lin Chong's ancestors settled in Tokyo, and his father also did it, but the residence was not very spacious, and the appearance of the two tiled houses inside could be seen outside the courtyard wall, which showed the small size of the courtyard.

However, Lin Chong's situation has been calculated, and many civil officials with hundreds of thousands of dollars cannot afford to buy a house in Tokyo, so they can only rent it.

Ordinary people are even more "surrounded by neighbors, semi-empty shelves, stacked boxes and cages, and divided children".

Shi Jin's family has a lot of money, and he is a small rich man in the countryside, but if he goes to Tokyo, 10,000 yuan is just to buy a house with a garden.

Su Shi, Su Zhe, Ouyang Xiu and others all complained about not being able to afford a house.

Of course, for traitors like Cai Jing and Gao Yu, there is no such problem at all.

Cai Xiangfu and Taiwei's Mansion are comparable to some royal palaces, the difference is that Cai Jing is encroaching on people's houses, while Gao Yu is encroaching on military camps.

Lin Chong had just eaten breakfast, hid a wrist-untyching knife, and was about to go out.

I heard someone calling for the door, and came out and opened it.

Shi Jin looked at the leopard head and ringed eyes of the life that opened the door, swallow jaw and tiger whiskers, eight-foot long and short figure, thirty-four or five years old, guessed that it was Lin Chong.

Lin Chong saw that it was a handsome boy with a raw face, and said suspiciously: "I am Lin Chong, I don't know what the little official has to say?" ”

Shi Jin hugged his fists and said: "I have admired the name of the head of the sect for a long time, and when I see it today, it is enough to comfort my life, can I take a step to speak." ”

Lin Chong turned sideways and said, "It's rude, petty official, please." ”

Shi Jin took the gift from Shi Zhu's hand and said, "You go to the Xiangkou restaurant to eat at the bar, and I will go to you when I have something." ”

"Yes, the little one is gone."

Shi Zhu also knew that it was inconvenient for Wang Yi to speak here, so he answered and led Wang Yi outside.

Shi Jin took the gift, entered the courtyard of the Lin family, and said with a smile: "A little courtesy, not a respect, please smile." ”

If it is a palm-sized courtyard, it is not as big as the courtyard prepared by Liangshan for the leader,

Lin Chong hurriedly said: "I don't know all my life, how dare Lin Chong accept gifts from petty officials." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "The villain Shi Jin has heard Master Wang Jin talk about the martial arts of the head of the sect, so he specially came to ask for a lesson or two. ”

When Lin Chong heard Wang Jin's name, he said with a little surprise: "The little official is talking about Wang Jin, who used to be the head of the same sect as me?" ”

Shi Jin nodded and said: "Exactly, the master was reprimanded by Gao Yu and couldn't settle down in Tokyo, so he took the old lady to Yan'an Mansion to join the old man." ”

While the two were talking, Lin Chong's wife heard the voice and walked out of the house.

Shi Jin looked at the past, this Zhang family is not very stunning, but the temperament is gentle, and there is something touching about it, so he said: "Shi Jin has seen my sister-in-law." ”

Zhang smiled and said to Shi Jin, and said to Lin Chong: "How can my husband not invite guests to the house, and only care about talking at the door. ”

Lin Chong didn't know where Shi came in before, but now he heard that it was Wang Jin's apprentice, so he said: "It's rude, please come in the petty officials." ”

Shi Jin followed Lin into the house and sat down.

Lin Chong's lady went to the side to arrange tea and soup.

Lin Chong asked: "Just now I said that Sect Leader Wang is going to Yan'an Mansion, I don't know what happened later?" ”

Shi Jin said: "When the master and son walked to Huazhou, they passed by my family village and stayed at my house. I didn't want my master and mother to have a distressed attack that night, but my father happened to have a prescription for treating distress, so he asked my master and son to stay and let Zhuang Ke bring medicine. Within five or seven days, the master and mother will be fine.

The master packed up and was about to leave, and when he went to the back to look at the horse, he saw me making a stick, and couldn't help but say, my stick is also good, but there are flaws, and I can't win a really good man.

Speaking of which, I am not afraid of Lin Jiaotou's jokes, I have been good at martial arts since I was a child, and I have experienced seven or eight famous masters, and I have few opponents in Huayin County before, and I feel that I have practiced very well. If you hear what the Master is saying, you have to compete with the Master. I didn't want to be knocked over by Master with a stick, and I realized that I really couldn't win a good man, so I asked Master for advice.

For my father's sake, Master stayed in the village to teach me for half a year before going to Yan'an Mansion. ”

Lin Cheng said suddenly: "Aren't you Liangshan's Nine-Pattern Dragon Shi Jin?" ”

The matter of Liangshan has spread all over the rivers and lakes, and he only thought that Shi Jin's name was the same name and surname when he heard it before, and the lord of Liangshan should not come to look for him. But when he heard that Shi Jin was from Huayin County, and he was in the same place as the lord of Liangshan, he couldn't think of it.

Shi Jin nodded and said: "Exactly, the villain has no choice but to fall into the grass, but he doesn't dare to hurt the good people." If the head of the sect is inconvenient, the villain will leave. ”

Although Lin Chong felt a little embarrassed, he thought that Shi Jin was Wang Jin's apprentice, and he treated him so sincerely, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, if you don't say it, no one will guess that you will be the lord of Liangshan." ”

Shi Jin said with a smile: "Sect Leader Lin is really bold, then I will bother, don't hide it from the sect leader, I am here to ask the head for some guns." ”

Lin Chong is not a rude person, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, since I am in a cold house, I should have drunk three cups, and I can't prepare for it for a while." How about we go to the market and sell two of them? ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Zhang saw that Lin Chong was going to have a drink with Shi, and he was also relieved, and sent the two of them outside the hospital.

In the past few days, Lin Chong has been looking for Gao Yanei and Lu Yuhou every day, she is afraid that her husband will do something, but she can't persuade her.

It is best to have someone to accompany Lin Chong to distract his heart.

Shi Jin and Lin Chong came to the street, and they didn't take Shi Zhu and Wang Yi with them, they found a hotel and a pavilion facing the street to sit on.

The two gossiped a few words, and Lin Chong couldn't help but sigh.

Shi Jin asked, "Why is the head of the sect sighing?" ”

Lin Chong said: "Now that I think about it, Wang Jiaotou will go to the border to serve, and in the future, he will fight with a knife and a gun, which is better than me being so pickled in this capital." ”

Shi Jin heard Lin Chong say this, and also knew that Lin Chong's wife was most likely still **, and said: "I heard the master say that Gao Yu was originally born to help idlemen, but he was good at all kinds of juggling, and he was not familiar with military affairs, and he was narrow-minded. Such a person has become the captain of the palace marshal's mansion, how can a righteous man and a gentleman have a bright future. ”

Lin Chong said: "After that guy took office, he abolished the military affairs, and most of the officers and men in the battalion paid him money, were exempted from proofreading, and all went to do business." The rest were craftsmen and soldiers, and the craftsmen did chores for his family. When the official family was reviewing, they used the troops to perform in the team, which was not lively. The prosperity of Tokyo is due to a lot of credit. ”

Shi Jin naturally knew that Lin Chong's words were rhetorical.

The troops are the artists in the army, and let the artists perform, at first glance, the combat effectiveness must be far beyond the practice of the sergeants, but if they really fight, they are afraid that the artist's work will not be able to play.

Lin Chong ate a glass of stuffy wine and said: "He abolished the army, but I have to have some leisure, and spend most of my time in this hotel." It's just that the father and son are not ......."

Speaking of this, Lin Zheng was silent.

It's not a good thing after all.

Shi Jin just visited Lin Chong today, and he couldn't ask, so he could only say: "Under the management of such pickled villains, you can't avoid being idle." Do not see them rampant today, but after a long time they will be recompensed. ”

Lin Chong didn't talk about Gao Yu anymore, and the two gossiped again.

When the two entered the alley, Lin Chong also left Shi Jin's identity behind and asked, "Brother is coming to Tokyo for the first time, right?" ”

Shi Jin nodded and said: "Well, for the first time in my life, I was stunned when I saw such a magnificent city outside the city yesterday." ”

Lin Chong said with a smile: "Tokyo City can be said to be the first city in ancient times, let's go to the street to play around, and also lead you to see the customs of Tokyo." ”

"The best."

The two left the hotel, and Lin Chong led Shi Jin to play for a day.

In the evening, I came home.

Look at the entrance of the alley, I saw a big man, wearing a horn-grabbing turban, wearing an old battle robe, holding a knife in his hand, and sticking a straw mark.

Glancing at Lin Chong coming over, he said to himself: "Those who don't know each other have succumbed to my treasure knife!" ”

Shi Jin saw this guy peeking at them from a distance, and knew that it was someone sent by Gao Yu.

It's not that he has to go to Liangshan with Lin Chong, but when Gao Yu wants to kill Lin Chong, he can only save Lin Chong's life.

When Lin Chong was reminded here, Gao Yu would inevitably have other moves, and Lin Chong was under Gao Yu's control, which could not be prevented.

There are many events here, and it is just a delay for some time, so Shi Jin pretended not to know.

Lin Chong didn't know how many vendors he had seen boasting, so he didn't pay attention to it, and just talked to Shi Jin.

The man looked at Lin Chong and ignored him, followed behind him and said, "Good mouth treasure knife, don't meet anyone you know." ”

shouted, seeing that Lin Chong was only concerned about talking to Shi Jin, the man was also anxious, and shouted: "There is a huge Tokyo, and there is no one who knows the weapon." ”

Lin Chongzheng and Shi Jin praised the magnificence of Tokyo, how could they be so excited, looking back, they had to see what kind of weapons this man was selling, and they dared to be so rude.

The man looked at Lin Chong and turned his head, and slammed the knife out, which was dazzling.

Lin Chong looked at such a good knife, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Come and see it in the future." ”

When the man saw Lin rushing in, he handed the knife over.

Lin Chong took the knife and looked at it with Shi Jin, only to see that the knife was dazzling and the cold air invaded, so he shouted out in vain: "Good knife!" How much do you want to sell? ”

Na Han said: "The asking price is 3,000 guan, and the actual price is 2,000 guan." ”

Lin Chong nodded and said, "The value is worth two thousand guan, but there is no master." If you are willing to do a thousand, I will buy yours. ”

The Han said in embarrassment: "I am in a hurry to ask for some money, if you want it, spare you 500 guan, but it really needs 1,500 guan." ”

Lin Chong shook his head and said, "It's just a thousand guan, so I'll buy it." ”

Nahan was also afraid that Lin Chong would not want it, so he sighed and said, "The gold is sold as pig iron." Strike, strike! Don't miss mine. ”

Lin Chong said: "Come with me to the house and withdraw the money to pay you back." ”

After speaking, he turned back to Shi Jin and said, "Brother Xian, let's go home, your sister-in-law should prepare wine and dinner." ”

"Okay."

Shi Jin listened to the familiar conversation between the two on the side, and felt a little like watching the Water Margin.

The three of them returned to Lin Chong's house, converted the silver into a price, and returned the man who sold the knife.

The man took the money and went away.

The Zhang family really prepared a sumptuous banquet, and Shi Jin was not enthusiastic.

During the banquet, Lin Chong and Shi Jin looked at the knife again and again, and it was a good knife.

After dinner, Shi Jin took his leave.

The Lin family didn't have a place to stay guests, so the husband and wife sued and sent Shi Jin out.

Shi Jin made an appointment with Lin Chong to meet tomorrow.
