Chapter 1 (4)
At this time, Jiang Lin was sitting in the inner hall of the gambling house, leaning on a chair and eating porridge and side dishes, "Wait for the 50,000 taels to you, I'll play two more, damn it, in a few days, the army will go out, and Lao Tzu won't have the leisure to play a few more elegantly!" After speaking, he took a bite of the steamed bun, "It's also frustrating, but I lost 50,000 ...... in two days."
Before Jiang Lin finished speaking, the little guy ran over. Jiang Lin put down the steamed buns, "Why didn't Zhan'er come?" β
"Little ...... General Xiao Chen went to the court......"
"It's time to go to court first, then give me the silver ticket." Jiang Lin nodded, but saw that the little guy was a little embarrassed and blushed, "What about the silver ticket?" β
"When I arrived at Chen's Mansion, General Xiao Chen had already gone to court...... The second young master of the Chen family said that he couldn't be the master of a concubine......"
Jiang Lin slapped the table fiercely when he heard this: "Ridiculous! β
The man from the gambling house walked up to Jiang Lin with a sneer: "General Jiang, you have eaten and drunk water today, the table has been knocked on, and the people have been taught, shouldn't you also settle the accounts!" β
"I'll send someone to deliver the silver ticket tomorrow!"
"General Jiang, you also know the rules of this gambling house, I'm afraid it won't be as you want today. Someoneβ" The man spoke, and several of the guards burst into the house.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Lin stood up and looked at the man with a cold face.
"Let's go home with General Chiang." Seeing this, the man no longer looked indifferent, but made a respectful look, bent down and waved his hand, and said, "Please!" β
Jiang Lin stood up and punched the man, but the guard next to the man grabbed Jiang Lin's fist, the guard moved extremely fast, Jiang Lin didn't even know how he made a move, Jiang Lin's eyes flashed slightly, and he only heard a cold sentence: "My master doesn't like people who owe money and don't pay it back, Lord Jiang is the commander of the three armies, is there still a villain with these tens of thousands of taels of silver?" β
Jiang Lin saw that all the guards were skilled, so he had to lead people from the private room to the downstairs. The gambling house downstairs was still full of people, and no one noticed Jiang Lin and the others, Jiang Lin suddenly dodged, looked back and grabbed the man in his hand, and threw it fiercely at the gambling table in front of him, the man flew out and was smashed on the gambling table, struggled to get up, and vomited a mouthful of blood. The gambling hall instantly quieted down because of the sudden change, and everyone turned to look in the direction of Jiang Lin, but the four gambling house guards behind Jiang Lin were not as brave as in the private room at this time, and even hid on the stairs with some timidity. The man shouted: "Master Jiang, why do you bother? If you pay back the money early, what are you doing for the villain? β
"That's General Jiang Lin stationed at the border pass? Didn't pay off your gambling debts? β
"A few days ago, it was said that the Vietnamese army invaded, and the conscription was also taxed, I think, I'm afraid that this General Jiang lost the gamble......"
The crowd immediately began to discuss, pointing at Jiang Lin, the man wanted to say something more, Jiang Lin jumped and pinched the man's neck, the man's eyes widened in horror, and a fragmented voice came out of his throat: "Kill...... Homicide...... Killed! β
"When you get home, I'll let the little guy send you the money! I, Jiang Lin, am the commander of the three armies, and I will lose your silver? Jiang Lin let go of his hand, and the man fell to his knees and coughed. I'm gone today, what can you do with me? Jiang Lin waved his sleeves and strode out of the casino. The man winked, and the four guards chased Jiang Lin out.
Jiang Lin walked forward with the little servant, but saw that the four guards behind him had already followed. At this time, the number of abductors and Hu companions has gradually increased. Many prostitutes and gamblers walked out of brothels and gambling houses, and breakfast stalls were set up early on the streets. The four guards followed Jiang Lin closely, Jiang Lin was a little impatient, turned around angrily, saw the four of them with their heads down, and finally fought against the four of them.
Although Jiang Lin is a general, he often goes into battle to kill the enemy, but he is only a beautiful kung fu with one hand, at this time, although the four of them are masters, they do not resist, they just dodge back and forth, and one of them shouted loudly: "Lord Jiang, if you don't pay back the money, why do you beat people!" β
The surrounding people gradually gathered around and pointed at Jiang Lin. "I'm a protector general, what can I do if I bet on two? Can I still lose you this money? β
The crowd grew more and more, Jiang Lin and the guards were inseparable, and the four of them converged their efforts at this time, and the blood in their noses and mouths hung on their clothes, as if they were seriously injured.
At this time, a young man in a brocade robe came on horseback, and saw Jiang Lin from a distance, and the young man jumped off the horse. This person is seventeen or eighteen years old, when he gets off the horse, he plucks the big coat on his body, the lining of the big coat is hand-embroidered exquisite longevity pattern, his face is fair, the most memorable is a pair of peach blossom eyes, like a smile is not a smile, like a smile is not angry, looking from a distance like a layer of water vapor, there is a bit of sleepy eyes and lazy, everyone unconsciously for this turbid noble son to make way for the young man to walk through the crowd, see Jiang Lin smiled: "I didn't expect to see General Jiang here early in the morning." β
Seeing this, Jiang Lin stopped moving, and the latter guard suddenly pounced, Jiang Lin waved his right hand back, knocked the guard to the ground with one palm, turned around and knelt on one knee, "The last general will see King Ning." β
This young man is the king of Ning who was born from the same mother as the current saint.
"What's going on?"
Before Jiang Lin could answer, the man in the gambling hall ran out and knelt down in front of King Ning with a crying and shouting on his chest, "The prince has to be the master of the grass people, this General Jiang owes us 50,000 taels of silver in the gambling house, and now he is wounding our guards." β
King Ning smiled when he heard this, "It's just 50,000 taels, this king has paid it back for the general, now the national disaster is at the head, and the general wants to go out for the country, but 50,000 pieces of silver, why do you bother to force people here?" β
King Ning stopped saying and glanced at his entourage. The little servant took out a wad of silver tickets from his bosom and handed them to the man.
Seeing this, Jiang Lin hurriedly got up, "Lord Wang, don't be like this!" β
King Ning smiled when he heard this, "The king still has 50,000 taels of silver, and the army is about to leave the camp for battle, so the general must not worry about these little things." After that, he smiled and walked towards the alley with the little servant, leaving Jiang Lin alone.
When the man saw King Ning leaving, he waved the silver ticket in his hand at Jiang Lin, "Since Lord Jiang is such a rich man who pays the bill, why didn't he say it earlier, the villain welcomes the general to come often." β
Jiang Lin took a sip of him and looked thoughtfully in the direction that King Ning had left.
Throne room.
At this time, Huizong had just left the dragon chair, when he heard a report from the eunuch, "Your Majesty, the twelve adults of the Imperial History Terrace, please play ......"
Everyone had to stand back in their positions, and unconsciously discussed what it was that sent the twelve imperial historians of the Imperial History Terrace.
Huizong frowned, watched the twelve imperial historians walk forward and saluted Huizong, and said "Long live". Before everyone could tell the reason, Dr. Zhang of the Yushitai opened his mouth and asked, "What is it that made you all here?" β
Feng Yushi, who was walking in the front, first saluted Lord Zhang, and then turned around and knelt down, "Qi Shengshang, I wonder if the Shengshang can know that there was a big incident in the abduction alley this morning?" β
Huizong was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Feng Yushi didn't say much, but said: "Can the Holy Lord pass on General Jiang Lin Jiang and His Royal Highness King Ning to meet him?" β
"What are you talking about, Jiang Lin is afraid that he is training in the military camp at the moment."
The remaining eleven imperial historians waited for Huizong to speak, and they all knelt down and said in unison: "Please summon Jiang Lin and King Ning to meet him!" β
After the twelve imperial historians knelt down, they stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the main hall began to condense. Huizong waved his hand impatiently, "Go and pass Jiang Lin and King Ning." β
There was silence in the main hall, "Get up, I have sent someone to summon Jiang Lin and King Ning, what else is there to kneel!" β
The twelve imperial historians still knelt on the ground silently, their backs extremely straight. The surrounding ministers finally began to discuss, and Chen Bozhan stood in the back, looking at the twelve imperial historians with burning eyes. Seeing this, Master Zhang, the imperial historian, walked in front of the twelve, "Holy Lord, you must have important things to do with your imperial history, otherwise you won't be here, and the Holy One is angry!" β
"The army has to go on the march, and only Jiang Lin can be the commander of the three armies, even if there is something important to do at this time, he should not miss the military situation." Huizong said coldly.
The twelve imperial historians just slammed their heads on the ground, and they didn't say a word or get up. Huizong couldn't, so he snorted angrily.
Everyone in the main hall looked at each other silently, thinking in their hearts how Jiang Lin and King Ning had offended these twelve, and they all went out today. Jiang Lin is a person who is partial to shallowness, and he has always been conceited of his abilities. In addition, he has military merits, and the civil and military officials have been a little discordant since ancient times, and most of the civil officials in the court have some verbal conflicts with this general. But King Ning has always been polite and polite, he only knows how to have fun all day long, but he is just an idle prince, how can he have anything to do with Jiang Lin?
After two teas, King Ning and Jiang Lin were announced into the palace. Jiang Lin is still wearing the same outfit that he wore in the morning in the kidnapping alley, without armor, and his hair is still messy, which shows that he has just been found from the abduction alley and has not yet returned home.
King Ning walked into the hall and laughed, "Brother Huang called me here to see your Imperial Masters worship you?" β
The two walked to the middle of the hall and saluted and said "Long live". Feng Yushi stood up at this time, "Dare to ask, where can I find General Jiang?" β
The little eunuch who brought Jiang Lin and the others back glanced at Huizong, and his answer was a little speechless.
"Back to ...... Returning to the Holy ...... Slave...... The slave is in the ...... In the ......"
Huizong was already a little impatient, and he was a little angry when he heard the little eunuch babbling, "Say it quickly!" β
"It's ...... in the kidnapping alley"
"Kidnapper Alley?"
"That's it...... It is the place where the Qin Mansion Chu Pavilion and the gambling house are mixed......"
When the people heard this, they began to talk about it.
Feng Yushi heard this, "Emperor Qiqi, everyone in the kidnapping alley this morning knows that General Jiang owed 50,000 taels of silver to Tianxiang Gambling House for two days in a row, and also smashed Tianxiang Gambling House, and this matter has been spread all over the market!" β
"Fifty thousand taels?" Huizong frowned, and his hand unconsciously knocked twice on the table.
"This is only for these two days, as we all know, General Jiang has always had a habit of coiling dragons, and he has ...... in these two days."
When King Ning heard this, he just smiled and interrupted Feng Yushi's words, "But after a few bets, it made such a big fuss?" Brother Huang, in my opinion, your imperial history is really in vain. β
"Why is the prince so protective of Jiang Lin? Today's 50,000 yuan is repaid by the prince, so what about the gambling debts owed in the past? Is it also returned by the prince? β
"This king is just passing by today......"
"If it is not repaid by the prince, how can the gambling debts of the past be repaid?"
Although Jiang Lin is not as winding as a literati, he has also been with Luan for a long time, how can he not understand Feng Shilang's words at this moment, "It is from my mansion, so what?" β
Feng Shilang seemed to have thought of what Jiang Lin said, and directly pushed back coldly. "Then I have to go to the ministry to check the previous rewards of the saint. I'm afraid that the holy reward is not enough, and you will pay off your gambling debts! β
Huizong looked at the two people arguing below, and then looked at King Ning on the side, although he was born to the same mother as King Ning, but King Ning looked more like the first emperor, and because he was a young son, he was naturally deeply loved by the first emperor and often taught him personally. And Huizong was made the crown prince by the first emperor early, and the two were more like monarchs and ministers.
"A few days ago, Xiang Zuo, the servant of the ministry, died tragically in the city, Xiang Zuo and Jiang Lin have always had a close relationship, before Chen Bozhan went to Xiang Zuo's house to search, accounts, and military salaries donated by wealthy businessmen were not found, and Chen Bozhan and Jiang Lin are uncles and nephews......
When Jiang Lin heard this, he knew that this was Feng Yushi's intention to put Xiang Zuo's death on his body, and implied that he was greedy for the Mo army's salary, so he only knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, how can Weichen be greedy for the Mo army's salary!" β
Feng Yushi took the remaining eleven imperial historians to kneel, "Your Majesty, this Xiang Zuo's death must have nothing to do with Jiang Lin, the army is about to set out for the camp, and his greedy military salary is the life of the border soldiers!" If you don't find out the origin of the money, what a chill this is for the officers and men of the three armies! β
"I'll kill you old horseman! How dare you talk nonsense! When Jiang Lin heard this, he raised his fist and smashed it at Feng Shilang.
"Presumptuous!" Huizong burst into fright, and Jiang Lin quickly knelt down.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
The hall fell silent. Huizong stood up, stepped off the dragon chair, and walked in front of Jiang Lin and Feng Yushi, but he remained silent. This young emperor already had a bit of the momentum of the superior, and at this time, with a straight face, even Jiang Lin had to kneel down silently. Huizong turned around and walked back to the dragon chair, and immediately picked up the teacup and threw it at Jiang Lin, the hot tea was splashed on Jiang Lin's body, Jiang Lin had to bear it alive, Huizong didn't look at Jiang Lin, and left with his sleeves.
Seeing this, King Ning said, "Everyone, get up, the emperor is gone." β
Jiang Lin stood up, looked at the twelve imperial historians of the Imperial History Terrace, and sneered: "The current foreign enemy, I'm afraid it won't be able to do what you want!" β
Feng Yushi and the other twelve imperial historians still knelt in the hall without getting up or speaking, Chen Bozhan walked up to Jiang Lin and bowed and called "uncle", however, Jiang Lin just glanced at him coldly, threw up his sleeves and left the hall.
