The night is as cool as water.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a waning moon disappeared into the depths of the clouds.

On the streets, vendors shouting and shouting.

In the distance, at the mouth of the alley, the juggling artist breathed flames from his mouth.

"Drive!"

The sound of horses' hooves thundered.

Dozens of fierce horses galloped from the mouth of the alley, and the forged horseshoe prints of fine iron landed on the bluestone floor, making a crisp sound.

After seeing those figures from a distance, the patrolling officials quickly dodged and cursed the bad luck.

……

"Phew~"

Lin Mang tugged on the reins and jumped off the horse.

Behind him, a group of brocade-clothed wrestlers jumped off their horses one after another, and stopped behind them with cold faces.

In front of the Tiansheng Restaurant, several drunken guests were frightened, and most of the wine woke up.

Lin Mang held the embroidered spring knife on his waist with his left hand and strode into the meteor restaurant.

A junior on the side stepped forward cautiously and said respectfully: "Is your surname Lin?" ”

Lin Mang bowed slightly.

The junior of the restaurant hurriedly said: "Lord Lin, Patriarch Zhou is already waiting in the private room on the third floor. ”

Lin Wei glanced at him and sneered: "Invite me to the banquet, won't the host come out to greet me?" ”

"In that case, then it's okay not to go to this banquet!"

After that, turn around and go!

At the moment when Lin Mang was about to step out of the gate, a figure hurriedly chased out.

"Lord Lin, slow down!"

Zhou Yuan hurriedly caught up and said apologetically: "Lord Lin is slow, it is because I have not waited for the courtesy carefully, neglected Lord Lin, and asked Lord Lin to atone for his sins." ”

Lin Mang squinted, stared at Zhou Yuan and asked, "...... are you?"

"In the next week, the county is the main book."

"Master Zhou!" Lin Mang casually bowed his hand.

Zhou Yuan said apologetically: "Lord Lin's atonement is my rudeness." ”

Lin Mang sneered in his heart.

It's a nice thing to say, but I just want to give myself a dismount.

Lin Mang's face was cold: "I thought it was Master Zhou who looked down on this official!" ”

Zhou Yuan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "How dare you, my lord's words are really wronged, and the lower officials will never dare." ”

Although many people often insulted these Yama demons in private, no one dared to slander them in public.

Slandering the Son of Heaven's pro-army is equivalent to insulting the Son of the Present, which is a serious crime.

Jinyiwei's edict prison, absolutely no one wants to go in.

Lin Mang said lightly: "I hope so!" ”

Zhou Yuan bowed slightly and said respectfully: "My lord, please go upstairs to the private room." ”

Lin Mang went upstairs with his knife, and a group of brocade guards followed behind him.

Zhou Yuan had the heart to stop it, but looking at the cold faces that were condensed with evil energy, he had no choice but to give up.

……

In the private room,

Lin Mang walked in with an embroidered spring knife, and his gaze was fixed on the middle-aged man opposite.

Look at each other!

Lin Mang didn't say a word, and he didn't even move an inch.

Zhou Shijin got up with a smile on his face: "Lord Lin can appreciate his face, Zhou is grateful." ”

A smile appeared on Lin Mang's face, and he arched his hand: "Thank you Patriarch Zhou for your hospitality!" ”

"But today my brothers are on an errand with me, I wonder if this banquet will be enough?"

A trace of astonishment appeared on Zhou Shijin's elegant face, and he quickly smiled: "Lord Lin is serious, it is Zhou's honor to invite all brothers to dinner." ”

Lin Mang turned around and said, "Thank you Patriarch Zhou for your hospitality!" ”

A group of brocade guards bowed their hands one after another, and shouted in a deep voice: "Thank you Patriarch Zhou for your hospitality!" ”

The smile on Zhou Shijin's face was somewhat reluctant. Turning his head and ordering, "Zhou Yuan, let the back kitchen prepare a few more tables of banquets." ”

Zhou Yuan nodded and turned to leave.

As soon as Lin Mang raised his hand, a group of brocade-clothed guards came out behind him and sat down outside the box.

An imperceptible solemnity flashed in Zhou Shijin's eyes.

Lin Mang sat down with a golden knife on the side, and then ate as if no one was around.

The Buddhist beads that were rotating in Zhou Shijin's hand paused again, and his thumb pressed a shallow mark on a Buddhist bead.

……

Outside the box,

A group of brocade guards quietly discussed.

A brocade-clothed wrestler with a slightly young face said happily: "Brother Sheng, it's good to follow Master Lin, you can prostitute for nothing every day!" ”

The smile on his face is beautiful!

The rest of the brocade guards also smiled in unison.

A few brocade wrestlers next to him looked envious.

They were Dong Wenshan's subordinates, and they were extremely apprehensive when they were originally classified as Lin Xiaoqi's subordinates, but they didn't expect to be brought today.

I was a little touched in my heart!

To be honest, when I followed Dong Wenshan, let alone entering Tiansheng Restaurant for dinner, I couldn't even get much oil and water.

Dong Wenshan's guy only cares about making money for himself on weekdays, and never cares whether they live or die.

They also know a little about the situation of Wang Dasheng and others.

In the entire hundred households, there is not a single one who is not envious.

Now that I think about it, it seems that it is also a good thing to change the position of boss.

Wang Dasheng coughed dryly and said coldly: "Eat more, talk less!" ”

"Yes, yes......" everyone responded.

……

Full of wine and food, Lin Mang wiped his mouth with satisfaction and said, "Thank you Patriarch Zhou for your hospitality today." ”

"The official still has official business to deal with, so I will leave first."

Zhou Shijin's face turned completely cold.

"Lord Lin!"

Zhou Shijin's tone was a little unpolite, and he said coldly: "I can't hide it, I invited Lord Lin to come here today. ”

Lin Mang got up and looked down at Zhou Shijin, and said lightly: "What about Wang Lie? ”

"Yes!" Zhou Shijin nodded and said: "Wang Lie hurt people for no reason, disabled my Zhou family's children, triggered the law first, and asked Lord Lin to let me take him back to the county office." ”

"My Zhou family is willing to give a small profit, and I thank Master Lin for his great kindness!"

As he spoke, he placed a brocade box on the table.

"Trigger the law?" Lin Mang's face turned cold, and he sneered: "Patriarch Zhou, are you really saying that I am an incompetent Jinyiwei?" ”

"That weekend, he defiled the people's daughters, beat the old man to death, and even if the evil slaves killed people, dare to ask the patriarch of Zhou, what should be the crime of such behavior?"

"Also, what should I be guilty of bribing Jinyiwei?"

Zhou Shijin's face changed slightly.

"Lord Lin, there is such a thing?"

Soon said with anger on his face: "Damn bastard, he actually did such an evil thing, he really deserved a thousand cuts!" ”

Zhou Shijin got up and said solemnly: "Lord Lin forgive me, I was deceived by that evil obstacle before, and I almost made a big mistake, and today I am willing to hand over that evil obstacle to my lord!" ”

"As for bribery, I would never dare."

Lin Mang's eyes narrowed.

What a trick to survive!

It's ruthless!

Then he joked: "Then is this what Patriarch Zhou picked up?" ”

Zhou Shijin was slightly stunned, slowly exhaled a breath, and nodded: "Yes!" ”

"Then I will keep this thing on my behalf, and when I find its owner, I will definitely return it to its original owner."

Pick up the brocade box on the table, turn around and go!

……

After Lin Mang and the others left, Zhou Yuan walked in from outside the door and said in a low voice: "Patriarch, is it negotiated?" ”

Zhou Shijin's expression was extremely gloomy, the Buddha bead in his hand shattered with a "snap", and said hatefully: "Now it seems that Wang Lie should have handed over his martial arts skills to this Lin Mang, otherwise he would not be so strong." ”

"What?" Zhou Yuan couldn't believe it: "That guy is really willing to hand it over for nothing?" ”

"If that's the case, then we're not going to be able to do it!"

"Humph!" Zhou Shijin snorted coldly, smashed the Buddha beads in his hand, and said coldly: "Let people check all the interpersonal relationships of this Lin Mang in Jinyiwei." ”

"Humph!"

"Dare to go against the Zhou family, even if it's Jinyiwei!"

He's been mixed for so long, and it's the first time he's seen someone who only collects money and doesn't do anything!

But to buy life money, you also have to have a life to spend.

He didn't believe that a man who came in the air would not be dissatisfied.
