Chapter 19: Bullying (II)
"It's not good! Shanzi, that Lin Liangzhu has already come. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Hearing the sound, Lin Ye hurriedly raised his head and looked out of the door, only to see Lin Liangzhu rushing over with seven or eight clansmen murderously.
"Brother Ye, what should I do? Damn, it's all my fault for leaving my purse at home. Now you are short of eight pennies, and the patriarch will definitely hold on to you to sell him the deed. Lin Shan was also anxious.
"No way, this house is dilapidated, but it is a place for my father to leave me. In any case, I would never sell the deed. ”
Lin Ye's eyes were like torches, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said secretly, "As long as I survive this hurdle, I will have nothing to fear." ”
"Otherwise, Brother Ye, I'll sneak home to get the money right away. A little more than a quarter of an hour back and forth, you try to delay the patriarch and them, and wait for me to come back. Lin Shan groaned and said.
"That's all there is to it. Shanzi, this time it's really please. From next month onwards, I will cover all your monthly taxes. ”
Today, just feeling Dong Yuanchang's indifference under the avalanche of the birch forest, Lin Ye felt that the friendship between him and Lin Shan was extraordinarily precious, and he was moved to clench Lin Shan's hands.
"Brother Ye, what are we two still saying these words? If you are in trouble, of course I will help. It's just eight copper coins, you delay to resist the patriarch first, and I'll go back. ”
After saying that, Lin Shan slipped out and hurried home to get the money.
And Lin Shan had only left for a while, and Lin Liangzhu had already led people to block the door of Lin Ye's house.
"Lin Ye, get out of here for grandpa! Yesterday you kept saying that today was the deadline to pay taxes, and you even dared to scare me with the Great Qin taxes and laws. Okay, what if I'll wait for you for a day, grandpa? But I didn't see you in the ancestral hall all day today. Now I'm going to see, what can you come up with to pay your taxes?"
The high-spirited Lin Liangzhu stood at the door of Lin Ye's house menacingly, and the seven or eight clansmen brought by him were all seventeen or eighteen-year-old strong guys in the clan.
"Hmph, Lin Liangzhu, in order to collect my Lin Ye's taxes alone, you are so majestic, did you call so many clansmen to come and support you for the scene?"
Taking a deep breath, Lin Ye stabilized his mentality and strode out with an awe-inspiring look. The two eyes stared at Lin Liangzhu like this, not weak at all.
"Collect taxes, stinky boy, do you really think that I am here to collect taxes today? Or do you really think you can still pay this month's taxes?"
Laughing contemptuously, Lin Liangzhu's face changed, and he threatened Lin Ye and said, "Boldly disobey my Great Qin laws and regulations, refuse to pay taxes and the statue of the Martial Emperor with a golden body, today I will arrest you in accordance with the laws and clan rules, and then put you in the prison of the Prayer Mansion." Someone is coming, take down this people!"
"Yes!
Several of the Lin Zhuang Han people on both sides got the order, so they rubbed their rough palms with a fierce face, and wanted to come forward to arrest Lin Ye.
Although these clansmen have not yet reached the minimum martial arts cultivation, their strength is also more than 100 catties, which is much stronger than Lin Ye, a thin scholar. What's more, there is also Lin Liangzhu, the patriarch who has reached the level of martial cultivation, not to mention that Lin Ye doesn't want to escape now, even if he wants to escape, he definitely can't escape.
"Slow!Lin Liangzhu, how do you know that I can't hand in the Martial Emperor Statue full of golden bodies?"
In order to delay enough time, Lin Ye didn't show up the Martial Emperor Statue at once, and it wasn't until the two strong clansmen pressed towards Lin Ye that he shouted angrily.
"Stinky boy, you're dying. Do you want to do anything else in your dying throes?"
Lin Liangzhu smiled at Lin Ye with disdain, "It's not that I haven't seen the Martial Emperor Statue you prayed for yesterday, in just one day, it is absolutely impossible for you to pray for more than six hours in a row to fill the golden body." Could it be that you still have a hundred taels of silver to pay for your sins?"
After speaking, Lin Liangzhu ordered the two clansmen again: "Don't listen to this stinky boy's nonsense, otherwise he will play some tricks again." The two of you tied him up directly, and sent him to the prison of the Prayer Mansion in a while. ”
The reason why Lin Liangzhu was so sure that Lin Ye would not be able to hand over the statue of the Martial Emperor full of golden bodies was because he had already determined yesterday that there was still a small half of the golden body that Lin Ye was missing, and it was absolutely impossible for a normal person to pray for it to be filled in one day. Second, if Lin Ye really had a golden body, why did he come directly to the ancestral hall to pay taxes during the day today, and he had to be forced to come to the door?
However, what Lin Liangzhu never expected was that in the face of his disdainful questioning, Lin Ye turned around and took out a Martial Emperor Saint Statue from the room that had been completely molded with a golden body, and laughed at him: "Lin Liangzhu, open your dog eyes and take a good look, is the golden body of my Martial Emperor Saint Statue fully molded." ”
"What? How is this possible? Lin Ye, you ...... You really sculpted the golden body of this Martial Emperor Icon, how did you do it?"
Seeing the Martial Emperor Statue taken out by Lin Ye in front of him, the golden body of the Martial Emperor on it was very complete, Lin Liangzhu was stunned, and to his surprise, he asked incredulously.
"I have my own way, you don't care how I mold the golden body of the Martial Emperor. In short, this statue of the Martial Emperor is handed over to you, and you don't want to put me in the prison of the Prayer Mansion. ”
Lin Ye smiled slightly, rolled up the Martial Emperor Statue in his hand, and handed it to Lin Liangzhu's hands.
"Damn, Lin Ye, this stinky boy, is it true that he has been praying with all his energy without sleep all day and night? Only in this way can he have a golden body in such a short period of time. But why do I see that he is still in good spirits now, and does not look tired in the slightest? As long as ordinary people pray for three or four hours in a row, they are so tired that they immediately fall asleep!"
Receiving the Martial Emperor Statue handed over by Lin Ye, although Lin Liangzhu was very puzzled in his heart, he had no excuse to make it difficult and frame Lin Ye.
He was still imposing just now, but now he could only stretch out his palm towards Lin Ye weakly and said, "Stinky boy, count yourself lucky." However, there is still ten yuan in taxes, pay it quickly! After handing it over, I will hand it over to the elder Li. ”
"It's just ten cents, what's the hurry? You don't want to check if there is a problem with the Martial Emperor Statue I handed over? What if something goes wrong? When the time comes, it will be yours or mine?"
Seeing that Lin Liangzhu finally mentioned the tax money of the ten yuan, Lin Ye's heart became nervous, and he hurriedly used the Martial Emperor Statue again to try to divert the topic.
However, Lin Liangzhu was able to climb to the position of the patriarch, and he was not a vegetarian. As soon as he heard Lin Ye's expression, he was overjoyed again, guessing that Lin Ye might not be able to pay this ten dollars.
So, Lin Liangzhu immediately stepped forward and grabbed Lin Ye, and shouted: "The sun is about to set, Lin Ye, you have only paid the Martial Emperor Statue now, and you still have ten taxes to pay." Hurry up and pay it, or you will be tied up for 'refusing to pay taxes'." ”
"Let go of your hands! I don't have any money now, and I'll pay it all in a quarter of an hour." ”
Lin Ye was also anxious when he saw this, and wanted to break free of Lin Liangzhu's big hand, but he was grabbed tightly and vigorously.
"Want to delay time?ha!Lin Ye, I really didn't expect that you even prayed for the most difficult Martial Emperor Statue overnight, and you would end up planting it on this mere ten cents of tax money, right......?
At this time, Lin Liangzhu's mood was even happier than when he came.
"Lin Liangzhu, you don't have to be proud. The sun hasn't completely set yet......"
Frowning, Lin Ye's eyes looked anxiously at the distance at the intersection, expecting to see Lin Shan come back in time. However, he also knew that it would take a quarter of an hour to go back and forth from his own house to Lin Shan's house at the earliest.
Therefore, Lin Ye could only pin his hopes on the seven or eight clansmen brought by Lin Liangzhu, and shouted at a few of them who were still familiar with each other: "Lin Qing, Lin Hong, Lin Tian, Lin Jun, do you have copper coins on you? I only have eight copper coins left to pay taxes now." If you lend me a copper coin today, in a few days, I, Lin Ye, will definitely repay me a hundredfold. ”
"Haha! A hundredfold reciprocation? Lin Ye, you really have a big breath. With me here today, I don't think anyone would dare to lend you money?"
Lin Liangzhu glared behind him, and the few clansmen who wanted to lend money to Lin Ye immediately hesitated and retreated. One of them, Lin Jun, shook his head and persuaded Lin Ye to say:
"Lin Ye, it's not that today we don't remember the love of the same clan and refuse to borrow money to help you. It's only strange that you can recognize a few words, and after reading a little book, you are arrogant, and you don't even pay attention to the patriarch. If we lend money to help you, we will have sinned against the patriarch as much as you do. In my opinion, you should quickly bow your head and admit your mistakes to the patriarch, maybe the patriarch can be merciful and let you go, and lend you ten cents to pay taxes. ”
"Haha! Lin Ye, do you hear me? Hurry up and kneel down and beg me? Today, I will be merciful to give you a choice, don't you still lack eight yuan? If you sell me the title deed of this house for eight yuan, don't you just have the money to pay taxes?"
Seeing that under his own deterrence, no one dared to lend money to Lin Ye, and Lin Liangzhu was even more emboldened to bully others and blackmail Lin Ye. The title deed worth nearly 100 taels, Lin Liangzhu really wanted to buy it from Lin Ye for eight cents.
"Phew, Lin Liangzhu, you want me to give in to you, and then obediently sell the title deed to you, don't think about it! But as long as I, Lin Ye, are still alive for a day, I will never sell this title deed." You're going to die of this heart!"
Lin Ye was angry and spat the shameless Lin Liangzhu in the face.
"Little rabbit cub, you spit on me, don't you want to live? Come on! Tie up Lin Ye for me, refuse to pay taxes, and immediately send him to the prayer mansion and put him in prison!"
That Lin Liangzhu's eyes were red with anger, and he knocked Lin Ye to the ground with a fist, and then ordered Lin Ye to be tied up left and right.
But just as Lin Ye was tied up by the five flowers and was about to be pressed to the prison of the Prayer Mansion, there was a roar of galloping horses in the distance, and Dong Yuanchang, the lord of the Dong Mansion, came quickly on horseback, and saw Lin Ye who was tied up by Lin Liangzhu from a distance, and the blood and qi in his body surged, and he made a voice like a bell: "Stop!
