Chapter 368: Found
Qiao Chong caught up, and when he saw that Zhao Sheng was rolling his eyes, he was so angry that he hurriedly stepped forward and kicked the people above away, pulled Zhao Sheng up, and was greatly relieved to see that he could still breathe.
He turned around and slapped them on the head with his backhand, and said angrily: "Idiot, he is now the capital of our turnover, who can afford to crush people to death?" ”
"Alright, alright," Tao Gan hurried up to stop him, "they are also anxious, and now that they have been caught, they will be tied up first." ”
Without a rope, someone provided a belt with clever friendship, and the person who provided the belt silently pulled the grass and rolled it into a belt.
The group pressed Zhao Sheng to ask for credit.
Now Zhao Sheng is dead in the eyes of the world, but everyone in charge of the top knows that this person is still on the run.
So as soon as the report went up, the commander in charge of the quarry did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to report to the captain above.
Captain, captain didn't want to run back to the barracks, and hesitated when entering the city, should this matter be reported to Wang Tingshi Mansion to Wang Tingshi, or to report to their general?
In the end, I decided to go back to the barracks and report first.
Although he is familiar with Wang Tingshi after all, the general is their direct boss, and the new official has three fires in office, and he also wants to show his face in front of the new general.
Lin Xin had only arrived in Jiangling for two days, and he was still in the process of handing over General Lu Xiao, when he heard the report from the lieutenant, he was taken aback and asked, "Is it really Zhao Sheng?" You're not mistaken? ”
The lieutenant was newly promoted, and he said: "The person who took the person is Qiao Chong, the former personal guard of the rebellious Zhao Jie, he has seen the traitor Zhao Sheng, and there should be no mistake." ”
"Wait a minute, what's the name of that guard?"
"It's called Qiao Chong," the captain paused and said: "The general may not know, this Qiao Chong is also a celebrity, he was forced to follow the rebellious Zhao Jie to the Chu State, but he thought of Daliang and has always pretended to obey. ”
Lin Xin turned around and found out his aunt's last letter, and when he saw the name on it, his eyes widened slightly, and he asked, "Where is Qiao Chong from?" ”
The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, he is out of Suzhou with the general, but he is an old acquaintance of the general." ”
Lin Xin said vaguely: "Almost, I'll go and see for myself with you." ”
My aunt has always been worried that Zhao Sheng has escaped, and it will be a big trouble for the Lin family in the future, but now that he has been caught, he just happened to take a look.
The captain thought that this Qiao Chong was very lucky, not only could he get the king's stab Shi Qingyan, but now he is still the old acquaintance of the new general, and the future is only unlimited, but fortunately, he has been treating him politely recently, and he has never felt sorry for him.
When Lin Xin rushed to the quarry with Lin Sheng and other cronies, Qiao Chong and the others were squatting on the side of the road with Zhao Sheng waiting for news.
Zhao Sheng was tied with a cloth belt and thrown to the ground, at this time his face was desperate, and his whole body exuded an aura of lovelessness.
Seeing that he was about to escape, but he fell short, this kind of blow is not acceptable to ordinary people.
Especially from Qiao Chong and others, I learned the news that his eldest brother had committed suicide.
Zhao Sheng didn't believe it at all, but he couldn't help but doubt it, and under the pressure of various emotions, his expression was a little crazy.
When Lin Xin jumped off the horse, he saw Zhao Sheng's appearance, and he almost couldn't recognize it.
He had seen Zhao Sheng, and he had seen him more than once, but he had never seen him so embarrassed, and he was a little afraid to admit it for a while.
Lin Xin recognized him, but Zhao Sheng didn't remember Lin Xin, when he saw him, he squinted his eyes and looked at him, and when he saw that everyone knelt down and saluted and shouted to the general, he asked in a dumb voice, "You're young, you're the one who took my eldest brother's position?" ”
He sneered: "The Lu clan is just relying on the glory of the ancestors, otherwise you are so young, how can He De sit in this position?" My eldest brother went from a soldier to a general, but he worked hard for ten years! ”
Lin Xin looked down at him and said lightly: "I don't have a surname Lu, my surname is Lin, Uncle Zhao Shi, offended." ”
With that, he waved his hand and asked people to carry him away.
"Lin?" Zhao Sheng was stunned, then struggled and glared at Lin Xin fiercely, "Your surname is Lin, are you from the Lin family in Suzhou?" ”
"Exactly, in Xia Linxin, Uncle Zhao may not remember me, but I have met Uncle Zhao several times."
"Lin Qingwan, Lin Qingwan," Zhao Sheng came back to his senses and asked frantically, "Is it Lin Qingwan who did it, right, she did all this right?" ”
Lin Xin frowned, very displeased with him calling his aunt's name, Lin Sheng didn't even need his orders, he went directly to him and stuffed a piece of cloth in his mouth, and said angrily to the soldier who was pulling him: "Don't drag it down quickly." ”
"Woo woo woo ......" Zhao Sheng's eyes were about to pop out, he looked at Lin Xin angrily, his heart was like a fire, it was Lin Qingwan, it must be her.
Back then, after he borrowed the Liao people to assassinate her, the Liao State lost a large number of fine works, and only she could touch their Zhao family.
How could Shang Ping have the courage to denounce them, someone must have threatened him, and he had some evidence.
It's Lin Qingwan, it must be him!
Lin Xin's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he exchanged a look with Lin Sheng, and then turned his head to look at Qiao Chong and the others, "Zhao Sheng was held by you?" ”
"Yes," Qiao Chong puffed out his chest and said, "General Hui, we and others took it together." ”
Lin Xin nodded slightly and said approvingly: "Good job." ”
Lin Xin didn't say anything more about this comment, but everyone was also excited, knowing that the general remembered their merits.
Lin Xin turned to leave, and instructed the captain: "Let them all go back to the barracks, I will ask them for credit, although they will not all be reinstated, but they can't stay in the quarry anymore." ”
And he said, "Let Joe rush to see me in a moment." ”
He didn't call Qiao Chong away on the spot, but also for his good, lest everyone think that he had the credit and his robe was not harmonious.
The captain was not stupid, so he naturally noticed this, so Lin Xin left before he announced the news, but he said to Qiao Chong in private: "Go back to the barracks and go to see the general first, the general has something to say to you." ”
Qiao Chong's heart moved, and he asked quietly: "How could the general see me alone, could it be that Lord Wang spoke for me?" ”
The lieutenant looked at him in surprise and said, "Aren't you an old acquaintance with the general?" ”
"Old knowledge?" Qiao Chong's eyes were full of confusion, he didn't know the new general.
"Yes, you all went out of Suzhou together, and the general specifically asked me about your place of origin and enlistment time, and I asked the general if you were old acquaintances, and the general did not deny it."
Qiao Chong's brain is mushy, is it really old knowledge, but he really doesn't seem to have seen a general.
And does he know such a powerful character?
How did he not know?
Qiao Chong pondered, remembering Zhao Sheng's words just now, Suzhou Lin Clan, there is only one Lin in Suzhou who dares to call Suzhou Lin Clan.
But Qiaojia Village is full of poor peasants who are digging in the field, and he doesn't remember that his family has an old relationship with the Lin family.
Qiao Chong thought all the way, and finally his eyes widened slightly when he was about to enter the barracks, he vaguely heard the old man in the village say, it seems that there is an aunt and grandmother in their Qiao family who married a steward of the Lin family, but that was many years ago.
It can't be this old, right?
Joe swallowed his saliva and cautiously went to the main tent to pay a respect.
Lin Xin had already called up Qiao Chong's resume, checked the household registration information, and found that it was indeed the same person, so when he saw him, he was a little more soft, "Please sit down, I think I will ask someone to look for you after settling down in a few days, but I didn't expect you to make a contribution first." ”
Qiao Chongcheng said with trepidation: "It's a small blessing to be able to share the general's worries, but I don't know what the general is looking for the little one?" ”
Lin Xin smiled and said, "You don't have to be nervous, it's not a bad thing." ”
He took out a letter and handed it to him, "This is a letter from your father that my aunt has sent you, so take a look at it." ”
Qiao Chong was stunned and took it in a daze.
"Your parents haven't received any news from you, and they thought something had happened to you, and when they learned that I had taken over as General Gangneung, they asked my aunt to help find you." Lin Xin got up and poured him a cup of tea and said: "It's hard to find someone these days, it's even more difficult to find a small soldier, I thought it was hard to find, but I didn't expect to find you so easily." ”
Qiao Chong had already eagerly opened the letter, he didn't recognize the so-called handwriting, and his father only knew a few words superficially, of course, he couldn't write letters, but he recognized the tone of his parents' letters.
At this glance, he knew that it was a letter written by his father, his eyes were slightly red, and after reading the letter, he directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Xin.
Lin Xin hurriedly supported him and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Aunt and grandmother are very kind, the little one is toothless and unforgettable, general, please give me a few days off, I, I want to go back to meet my father and mother, and when I come back, the little one must be a grass ring, and you will be a cow and a horse."
Lin Xin has not been home for many years, and when he heard this, he frowned and said: "Now that the situation in Jiangling is not stable, it is impossible for you to go back, you can only wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, maybe there will be a chance." ”
Qiao Chong actually regretted it as soon as he mentioned it, how simple is it for soldiers to go home to visit their relatives, some soldiers who have been soldiers for 20 years may not have the opportunity to go back, not to mention that he is a young and strong, but has no rights?
He has to mention this now, but suddenly he got a message from his parents, and he really wanted to go back.
Originally, he was worried, and he didn't expect to get such an answer, but after he was stunned for a moment, he kowtowed to Lin Xin twice, saying that any more would be hypocritical, and he could only prove it with his actions.
Lin Xin didn't know much about him, so he didn't think about subduing him at this time, but just because of his aunt's entrustment, he treated him differently, and he smiled: "You don't have to be like this, if the soldiers can go home to visit their relatives, you will definitely be the only one who will go back at that time." ”
Thinking of the current situation in the army, Lin Xin couldn't help sighing, ordinary soldiers want to go home to visit their relatives, and it is more likely that they are officers, even if they are low-level, if they are gone, they are not afraid that they will not come back.
Lin Xin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard to make meritorious contributions, at least strive to be a small flag before the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
Even if there are only ten people under his hands, he is still qualified to visit relatives.
