Baihualou is Yang Xuhui's industry, this guy made a lot of money in Liangzhou and embezzled a lot of silver, so after arriving in the capital, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build such a brilliant restaurant restaurant.

The façade of the restaurant is brick-to-seam, painted and painted, and the style is generous and magnificent. The dress of the running hall is the same, new clothes, new shoes, new hats, inside and outside the guests, so lively! As soon as the four brothers arrived at the door, the people who ran to the hall hurriedly greeted them and let them in: "The four guests are invited in." ”

Zhang Xin and Wang Qi, two nerds, asked when they entered the door: "Brother Lin Xian, which floor do you go up?"

Lin Zhong called the people who ran the hall and said that they were going to Baihualou to eat and drink. The runner looked at the four people and said, "Master, please go back." "When we passed through the moon gate, the brothers saw what a beautiful garden! There are really four seasons of flowers that are not grateful, eight sections of evergreen grass, there are lotus tanks and fish ponds in the courtyard, among which there are three-story buildings, and the road is all paved with green bricks.

The runner led the four of them to the second floor and said, "Guests, please take a seat." ”

On the second floor, there are many people eating and drinking, some Liu Quan ordered, and some talked and laughed. Lin Zhong was just about to sit down, and Zhang Xin said, "Brother Lin Xian, isn't there still a floor?"

Wang Qi said: "Let's go to the highest level. ”

Lin Zhong said to the runners, "Our brothers go up to the third floor to eat. ”

"Master Ke, I'm sorry, you came here unfortunately, our host has a treat, and the third floor is wrapped, and you are not allowed to take out. Master, let's go up to the third floor another day. ”

The hall said that the host was in for a treat, and this matter is true. Early this morning, Yang Xuhui told the guys that he was going to have a treat. You are not allowed to give up your seat to the third floor. Yang Xuhui invited no one else, it was Zhao Changyong's third nephew Bao Tonggang, second nephew Bao Yingang and others, and also invited a few companions, including Sun Yucao, the chief teacher of Ning Wangfu, Sun Yucao, the flying leg centipede, Zhao Xingjiang's two sons Zhao Longyu and Zhao Longgui, and Zhao Changyong's eldest son Zhao Song. Yang Xuhui knew that Bao Yingang was frightened in Liangzhou, and he was going to hold a banquet here today to shock him.

If you want to rely on Li Mingyuan, there will be nothing to do if you eat and drink on the second floor; But Zhang Xin and Wang Qi didn't do it. I have to go up to the third floor to eat and drink.

Lin Zhong pondered: The second and third floors cost money. I'll have to make a comeback guest to the satisfaction of a few brothers. He stepped forward, smiled, and said, "Cousin." Your host is in for a treat. Do you know who Lu Dao invited?"

"I don't know what to do."

"That's us!"

"Yo. I'm sorry. Master, why hasn't my master come yet?"

"He's behind, just there."

"Oh. Guest, please upstairs!"

Lin Zhong took the three of them upstairs, and the two nerds were happy: "Hehe, Brother Lin Xian is really good!" What did you tell him?"

Lin Zhong diverted the topic and said, "The three brothers are in a hurry, let's hurry up and eat." What he meant: Hurry up and finish eating, and leave as soon as the account is settled, the shopkeeper knows that it is not that they are too late, anyway, how much should be given. Yang Xuhui has a treat, and he can prepare another table.

Li Mingyuan didn't know what Lin Zhong thought, as soon as he heard that he should eat quickly, he was in the middle of it, and even said; "Yes, yes, yes."

The cousin brought snacks and tea, and said, "A few guests, please drink and eat first, and wait for my master." ”

Lin Zhong said: "Quick, let's go to the table first, wait while eating, we still have urgent things to do." ”

"Yes."

The work is not large, and the banquet is put on the table. Lin Zhong and Li Mingyuan both wanted to finish eating quickly and leave quickly, so they hurriedly said, "Come, drink quickly, eat quickly." "These four are busy working, Yang Xuhui came with fox friends and dog friends.

Yang Xuhui walked in front and was about to go to the third floor when he suddenly heard someone talking: "Come, drink quickly!"

Hey, why is someone upstairs drinking? Yang Xuhui said: "You sit down and wait, and I will take a look." ”

At this time, the cousin came over with a smile, and Yang Xuhui said angrily: "Who is on the third floor?"

"The four guests you invited."

"Nonsense. All the people I've invited are here!" Yang Xuhui raised his leg is a kick.

"Don't get angry, you go up and have a look."

"General Yang doesn't have to be angry, Xiao Wang will go for you!" Zhao Xingjiang's eldest son, Zhao Longyu, had a brain cramp somehow, stopped Yang Xuhui, and went upstairs to observe the situation by himself.

Zhao Longyu went up the thirteenth staircase, came to the third floor, and when he looked up, he knew one of the four people. It's none other than Jade Butterfly Lin Zhong. The reason why Zhao Longyu met Lin Zhong was also by chance, it turned out that once, Zhao Longyu was flirting with a folk girl on the street, so that Lin Zhong ran into it. Lin Zhong persuaded him, but he didn't listen, he stretched out his hand to fight, Qin Zhong grabbed his wrist and grabbed it hard, this kid screamed in pain. Zhao Longyu never suffered immediate losses, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he begged for mercy repeatedly.

Lin Zhong let him go. He was leaving with a lot of words. After I went back, I kept thinking about finding an opportunity to take revenge. I didn't expect to meet here today. Lin Zhong saw Zhao Longyu coming, stood up, and stepped forward: "Little prince, don't you know me?"

Zhao Longyu thought in his heart: I know your bones even after peeling the skin! Today you came to my acre and three points of land, and see how I clean you up! Then he said coldly: "Yes." Who are those three?"

"My friend."

Zhao Longyu's eyes rolled and he thought secretly: Friend? I called them demons, and said that you colluded with demons, and I told you to take your life! Thinking of this, he said loudly: "You colluded with the demons, do you still want to escape?"

As soon as Lin Zhong heard this, he was furious and said, "You don't want to spew blood!"

"Squirting? I'm going to arrest someone!"

Today, this kid is bold, because there are his fox friends on the second floor, all of them are thugs, and they all have two hits. As he spoke, he punched Lin Zhong's little stomach, and Lin Zhong dodged it, poof! Zhao Longyu retreated to the top of the stairs and shouted, "You kid dare to come over?" Come here, I want your life!"

When Lin Zhong heard this, the fire became even bigger, and he jumped over. Li Mingyuan was afraid of making a big fuss, so he shouted: "Brother Lin Xian, don't be like him!"

When Zhao Longyu saw Lin Zhong coming, he raised his foot and kicked it. Lin Zhong dodged and flew up. He shouted, "Little thief, go down." ”

This kick was kicking on Zhao Longyu's little belly, kicking it affordably, thirteen stairs, Zhao Longyu didn't touch it, from the staircase on the third floor, woo-came down. Yang Xuhui shouted in the air: "My life is over!"

Jade Butterfly Lin Zhong kicked down Zhao Longyu on the third floor, Zhao Longyu shouted, smack! It was actually a good fall on the floor on the second floor. His group of fox friends hurriedly gathered around and called.

Bao Tong had just gone up the halfway building and saw Lin Zhong at a glance. Drink asked, "Is it the one you hit?"

"It's me."

"Come up by name."

"Jade Butterfly Lin Zhong."

Bao Tong just turned around and ran down. shouted: "Brothers, the kid who beat the old brother is called Lin Zhong, go and arrest him!" Bao Tonggang didn't dare to make a move, just shouted vigorously. Those few dragged Zhao Longyu aside. Bright places. Get ready to get your hands dirty.

They're not stupid either. Just don't go upstairs to fight, because the terrain is unfavorable upstairs, and the upstairs is condescending. How beneficial. They pulled out the momentum and shouted, "It's a hero, come down quickly!" It's a bear, just up there. ”

Lin Zhong said: "Three brothers, let's fight!"

Li Mingyuan knew that now, he can't leave if he doesn't fight! After a while, the officers and soldiers surrounded the building, and it would be difficult to get out.

They showed their guys and rushed downstairs.

In the blink of an eye, it's lively! The people who ate and drank ran downstairs, and the shopkeepers also hid. Sun Yucao and Yang Tiansheng's gang, some wore swords, some didn't bring anything, some waved swords, and used stools as weapons empty-handed. Zhao Longyu was lying there and no one cared about it, and for a while he let people step on it, and for a while, the benches of others were empty, and they smashed on him again. But it hurts this guy a lot.

Li Mingyuan was afraid that Zhang Xin and Wang Qi would hurt too many people and make a big fuss, so he shouted while fighting: "Hurry up!" The matter has already been reported to the authorities. As soon as the four Li Mingyuan brothers rushed out of the hundred flowers embrace, they happened to meet the officers and soldiers, Lin Zhong grabbed one of the guns of the officers and soldiers, and the four of them broke up the officers and soldiers, and ran away. was running, a horse ran in front, with officers and soldiers behind, and the person on the horse was Zhou Anwu, the secretary of the military department.

Zhou Anwu is Lin Zhong's own uncle, who came to arrest the demon who assassinated the prince, he saw Lin Zhong at a glance, and then saw Li Mingyuan, and thought: "They won't do anything wrong, I have to take it openly and secretly, and tell them to run away!" So, he shouted to the officers and soldiers: "You wait to retreat, and wait for the officer to catch the horse!" He rushed forward with his knife and shouted, "Zhou Anwu is here!" Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Lin Zhong, you can't stay in the capital, run out with Li Mingyuan!"

Li Mingyuan: "My lord, why do you say this? ”

"It's too late to explain now, listen to me, you guys hurry up, it's not a trivial matter to reward the prince, now the emperor is angry, wait for me to find out about this matter and tell the emperor, you will come back!" Zhou Anwu comforted.

"In that case, I'll listen to your orders!" Li Mingyuan and the four of them were deliberately put under the water by Zhou Anwu and ran away directly.

On the other side, Meng Ranhao took a large team of people to Guangling Mansion, Meng Ranhao heard that Sun Hong, the prefect of Guangling Mansion, not only bullied the people and defrauded the people's money, but also raised his son and did not teach, and the son committed murder, bullied men and women, and did mischief. The people of that place complained and complained bitterly. He came to a small town not too far from Guangling, and stopped and didn't leave. Because he had already made up his mind: he wanted to spy on private visits. Because hearing is false, seeing is believing, he wants to personally go to Guangling to observe the people's feelings.

Meng Ranhao disguised himself as a monk, put the four treasures of the study and the seal of the Heavenly Patrol into a small yellow cloth bag, carried it on his back, and held a bamboo hexagram board in his hand. Quietly went to Guangling City. Zhang Wen and Li Wu also disguised themselves and secretly protected the adults.

Meng Ranhao had already instructed the two of them how to act if there was an accident. As soon as Meng Ranhao arrived outside the city, he heard the sound of gongs in the city, and then saw many messengers carrying a sedan chair out. The messenger shouted proudly: "Get out of the way, how are you blind, haven't you seen an adult!" The people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and hurriedly dodged to the sides.

In the sedan chair is the prefect Sun Hong. He heard that Lord Meng Ranhao, the guardian of the heavens, was coming, and he went to the Ten Mile Long Pavilion to pick it up twice, but he didn't follow, and now he took it again. I didn't expect to have a meeting with Meng Ranhao. Meng Ranhao ignored them and entered the city.

As soon as he entered the city, he put up the bamboo hexagram board and shouted: "Fortune telling, fortune telling, walking all over the cape, divination for people everywhere, the rich give forty money, and the poor don't take a penny!"

Guangling City was in chaos, Meng Ranhao walked through the streets and alleys, looking around. Between walks. I saw a group of people around not far in front of me, and I heard someone crying inside: "God, save my daughter!" The group of people around turned their heads and sighed, some turned and left, and some passers-by stretched their heads and surrounded them again.

Meng Ranhao put away the hexagram board and squeezed forward, and saw an old lady sitting on the ground, her face was covered with blood and soil, and she was already crying. There was a young man in the crowd. His surname is Hao. Because he loves to talk, everyone calls him "easy to say".

"Good talk" said to the old lady: "Auntie, don't cry!" It's useless to cry. It's useless to seek death. It's time for the year. Deal with it alive! You've been talking to everyone for a long time. Who cares? I can't afford to mess with it! Come home!"

There was an old man in the crowd. Surname Yu. Because he is nosy, he complains after he finishes it, so everyone calls him "redundant".

"Good to say" just said. "Superfluous" spoke: "Old lady, don't tell these people, don't cry, don't die, don't go home." I heard that there was a lord in the court who was guarding the heavens. His name is Meng Ranhao. This is amazing! He visits the world and has the power of life and death. He's coming to Guangling, didn't the prefect go out of the city just now? That's to pick up Master Meng! You go to Master Meng to file a complaint, and you can sue one by one!"

The sentence "redundant" has not yet landed, and "good to say" picks up the conversation: "Your 'redundant' saying this is redundant!" Know the way. If there is an official, there is a private one, and if there is a private one, there is a disadvantage. Which river has no fish in it, and which official has no selfishness? It's not like officials are protecting each other!"

Meng Ranhao came to the old lady and asked, "Old lady, you are so old and bleeding." Was it bumpered, dropped, or beaten?"

The old lady looked at the old man who was asking, about forty years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and three locks of short hair. She cried and shouted, "Master Dao, I'm wronged! ”

"Superfluous" said: "Old lady, I am really superfluous." Don't stop you. But I'm going to stop you. What's the use of you telling him? He's a scheming gentleman, can he take care of your business? Aren't you talking in vain?"

The old lady said, "I want to say, the Taoist master can't control it, I will say it too!" Say it, so that everyone knows the way, and my heart is happy! This Mr. Daoye, I was originally from this place, surnamed Li, and my mother-in-law's surname was Zhang, I gave birth to a son and a daughter after I passed the door, the son is called Zhang Shilu, and the girl is called Zhang Guixiang.

I didn't want my husband to die, so I raised my two children alone, and married my daughter-in-law to my son, whose daughter-in-law is Wang Qiaoling. The daughter-in-law has been in the house for less than a year. The son fell ill and died. My daughter-in-law is so good that she is dedicated to filial piety in front of me.

My girl was married to Zhou Xiucai in Zhouzhuang in the west of the city. Haven't passed the door yet. Today, I went to buy flower thread outside the gate, so that Sun Fu, the son of the prefect Sun Hong, ran into it. That kid bullies men and women, and does all kinds of evil. When he saw my girl's cinnamon at a glance, he immediately ordered his entourage to snatch the incense away. I knew that I would chase after Xin'er, and I didn't catch up when I chased it to the prefect's yamen. I thought in my heart: If I want to sue his son in front of Sun Hong, isn't it in vain? But if you don't sue him, where can you sue him? After thinking about it, I still went to the yamen to complain. ”

Meng Ranhao said: "How did Sun Hong try this case?"

"Blind, Sun Hong didn't even try me, and ordered his subordinates to beat me out in a daze, and beat my head to the point where my head was bleeding! Dao Ye, you are doing well. Save my girl!"

"Good to say" said: "The eldest lady is confused, he is an old fortune teller. Can you save your girl?"

Meng Ranhao said to the old lady, "Won't you sue?"

"Yes, I just heard that a patrolman is coming, I made up my mind to tell them again, if I can't tell them again, I don't want to live anymore, so I'll fight with them!"

"Old lady, the patrol lord should be the master of the people, he is about to go to Guangling, you go and sue. Do you have a paper?"

"No, I won't write, when others hear about it, who dares to write?"

"I'll write it to you."

"Master Dao, you're so good! Are you going to write a pleadings to me, aren't you afraid of lawsuits?"

"Don't be afraid."

"Then I'll go find paper and pen and ink."

"No, I have it all."

Meng Ranhao took off the yellow cloth bag, took out the pen, ink, and paper, brushed and brushed, wrote the form, and handed it to the old lady: "You wait, as long as Meng Ranhao comes, he will tell you one by one." ”

Watching the lively people turn their heads and talk one after another: "This old way is really good!" "He's so daring!"

"He'll probably live enough!"

Meng Ranhao put a yellow cloth bag on his back and took it away with a bamboo hexagram. Although the old lady didn't know how to read, she still held the shape and looked at it for a long time, folded it seriously, and when she saw that the old way was gone, she hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Master Dao, don't go first!" Leave a name, I'll sue and thank Mr. Daoye!"

"Good talk" said: "Everyone is far away, you should go home and wait." ”

"Superfluous" said: "Don't go home, go up to the gate of the southern city and wait, maybe Lord Daitianxun will come in a while." ”

The old lady got up and hurried to the south of the city, and as soon as she turned the corner, she heard the sound of a gong. Then, I heard someone shouting: "Get out of the way, too adult!" ”

The old lady taught the girl to be earnest, and when she heard of the adult, she saw a sedan chair coming, and hurriedly greeted her and shouted: "Wronged! Wronged!"

Send people to take a look, yo! Mrs. Li was so bold that she drove her out of the yamen, and she ran to the street to stop the sedan chair and shouted injustice! Who's sitting in the sedan chair? It was the prefect Sun Hong. Sun Hong went to pick up Meng Ranhao and didn't pick up, so he came back from outside the city. Someone reported to Sun Hong in the sedan chair, Sun Hong ordered to get off the sedan chair, and ordered someone to take the person who shouted injustice. The old lady knelt in front of the sedan chair, kowtowed three times in a row, and said without raising her head: "My lord, I have been wronged!"

Sun Hong lifted the sedan curtain and looked, ah! It's Mrs. Li! Hurriedly asked, "Who are you suing?"

"I'll tell Fu Sun Hong!"

"Is there a paper?"

"Yes."

"Hand it over." (To be continued......)
