In the restaurant,

The two people by the window looked at the scene below, smiling.

"Here we are." The white-robed man chuckled lightly, looking pleasant.

Hearing this, the blue-robed man glanced out and smiled: "Yes, it's finally here." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Grab your glass and drink it all.

……

At one end of the street, hundreds of people marched mightily.

"Hand over Pixiu!"

"Hand over Pixiu!"

They shouted hoarsely, the crowd was in high spirits, and their faces were even more death-defying looks.

As the figures approached, everyone saw that those people were all wearing the clothes of the prisoners of the country.

There are not only the prisoners of the Guozijian, but also many literati talents.

The Jinyi guard in the Zhenfu Division quickly rushed out and stopped everyone, but he didn't dare to draw his sword to face each other.

Wearing a plate-collared gown, wearing a square scarf, pedaling boots, and a green shirt is elegant, which is clearly the dress of a showman.

Most of these are people with meritorious reputations, with all kinds of privileges, if they draw their swords against each other for no reason, they will be criticized by the people of the world the next day, and the officials and imperial historians will play one after another.

What's more, he will scold His Majesty for being mediocre and connive at Jinyiwei to draw a knife and kill people.

Even if they are Jinyi guards, they don't dare to risk the world's condemnation.

"Hand over Pixiu!"

"Hand over Pixiu!"

……

Everyone was still shouting loudly, without the slightest intention of putting the brocade guard in front of them in their eyes.

There is even a faint meaning of approaching the North Town Fusi.

"Shut up!"

Lin Mang suddenly let out a loud shout.

This loud shout was like a long roar of the heavenly dragon, and the true qi was vibrating, setting off a rolling wave of qi.

The voices of hundreds of people were instantly drowned out by this one.

Needle drops can be heard.

At this time, three old men in Confucian shirts walked out of the crowd, gentle and elegant, one of them holding a cane, standing in front of everyone.

The old man with a cane coughed, stepped out, and said in a straight voice: "The old decrepit Guozi Jian Siye, Lu Wendao, I have seen you. ”

As he spoke, Lu Wendao bowed slightly.

At this time, not far from the street, a figure rushed over, it was Li Jinzhong.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Jinzhong felt remorseful in his heart, but he was still a step slower.

Li Jinzhong hurriedly walked to Lin Mang's side, pulled him aside, and said in a low voice: "Lord Lin, this Lu Wendao is a great Confucian in the world, and he has a very high reputation among the literati, he has traveled all over the world, and his reputation among the people is also quite good. ”

"This matter was planned by someone, just to target you, Lord Lin."

He knew that Lin Mang paid little attention to these things in Beijing, and he probably didn't know Lu Wendao's identity.

Like this great Confucian of the time, his status is noble, and anyone who sees it has to give a few thin faces.

With Lin Mang's personality, if he really does something, it will be really troublesome.

When he first saw this information, he also felt a wave of nausea in his heart.

The key is that this is an upright conspiracy, coupled with the special status of these people, if they don't violate the law, even Jinyiwei will be difficult to move them very much.

That's why they have no fear.

What's more, this group of sour and rotten literati has never taken life and death to heart, and is proud of leaving a name in history.

If the Jinyi Guards really dared to draw their knives, they probably dared to stretch their necks for the Jinyi Guards to cut them.

Lin Mang glanced sideways at Lu Wendao and said softly, "Thank you, Master Li, for coming to inform." ”

Li Jinzhong shook his head and said, "It's a little trivial, but I'm still a step late." ”

"However, the other party did a secret in this matter, and it is not clear who is behind the scenes, only a few small fish."

"This Lu Wendao probably didn't know that he was used as a gun."

Lin Mang bowed slightly, walked towards Lu Wendao, and said coldly: "What does Lu Siye want to do?" ”

"This is Beizhen Fusi, do you want to gather people to make trouble?"

"Definitely!" Lu Siye shook his head and asked, "I don't know if Lin Qianhu is here?" ”

"This official is."

Lu Wendao raised his head reluctantly, stared at Lin Mang with burning eyes, and bowed slightly: "The old man has seen Lord Lin." ”

"I don't know Lord Lin in person, don't blame it."

"Today, we are here to ask Lord Lin to enshrine Pixiu to the country, and such heaven and earth beasts should be worshiped by all the people."

"The adults can get Pixiu, this is the luck of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the luck of the people!"

"Pixiu descended from the sky, this is God's recognition of my Daming."

"As the old saying goes, Pixiu is a beast of heaven and earth, with its own auspicious luck and its protection, I should be thriving since the Ming Dynasty."

Lu Wendao's voice was louder and louder, and his face was excited.

Lin Mang's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Is that what you mean?"

Lu Wendao straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "This is the opinion of me and other scholars, and it is the opinion of tens of millions of people!" ”

"As an official of the imperial court, Lord Lin should think about this world."

"The ancients often said that the worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy, this is for the country and the people, and in the future, Lord Lin will be admired by all the people."

"The old man begs, Lord Lin can please Pixiu!"

With that, Lu Wendao bowed.

Behind him, everyone bowed in unison.

"Please Lord Lin, please come out of Pixiu!"

Lin Mang sneered secretly.

It's enough, even the set of moral kidnapping has been used.

I just don't know whose handwriting this is.

Lin Mang's tone was a little cold, and he said quietly: "This Pixiu is what I get, if I don't pay it, what should I do?" ”

If ordinary people saw it, they would have already retreated at this moment, but Lu Wendao was not moved at all, and said excitedly: "For the people of the world, the old man is willing to kneel and ask Lord Lin today." ”

"Please also ask Lord Lin to cut his love and consider the people of the world."

After that, as soon as he lifted the hem of his clothes, he was ready to kneel.

It's just that his knees can't kneel down no matter what, and a true qi holds up his body.

Lin Mang looked at this group of people coldly, and the killing intent surged in his heart.

What an insidious ruse!

If you really let this person kneel, tomorrow he will inevitably be criticized by countless readers.

When the great Confucian of the world, he knelt down for himself with a brocade guard, and he kneeled by himself, and those who didn't know probably thought that he forced the other party to kneel.

And even if they knew what, they would only think that they forced Lu Wendao, the great Confucian of the world, to kneel.

The group of officials in the court also had an excuse against themselves.

At that time, the crowd was surging, and in order to appease this group of scholars, I am afraid that the one in the palace would have to make some expressions.

In the crowd, one person suddenly spoke up: "I implore Lord Lin to hand over Pixiu." ”

Everyone said in unison: "I implore Lord Lin to hand over Pixiu." ”

Lin Mang didn't look at the group of people, but looked down at Lu Wendao, and his tone was calm: "Lu Siye, do you really want to be like this?" ”

There are limits to his tolerance.

A hint of apology flashed in Lu Wendao's eyes, and he said solemnly: "Lord Lin, we have raised 40,000 taels of silver, and we are willing to give it to Lord Lin as compensation." ”

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

Lin Mang said three times in a row, his eyes were extremely cold.

Forty thousand taels!

Can a mere 40,000 taels be exchanged for a Pixiu?

If this group of people is really allowed to take out 40,000 taels and stay until tomorrow, how should the people in Beijing talk about themselves?

They are noble and selfless, and he is selfish.

They are for the country and the people, and he is a lackey of the court, a butcher.

All men are foolish, and the people are even more foolish.

Fame and fortune are all for you, and Lao Tzu has to fall into infamy!

Lin Mang looked at Lu Wendao coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Lu Siye will wait here for a while, and this official will go to get Pixiu." ”

Hearing this, Lu Wendao showed a relieved smile on his face.

"Thank you, Lord Lin, for your success!"

"In the future, Lord Lin will be admired by all the people!"

Lu Wendao bowed again, his tone sincere.

Many literati talents who followed behind him were overjoyed, and a hint of mockery flashed in the eyes of some people in the crowd.

Nowadays, who in the capital has not heard of Lin Mang's name, killing gods, butchers, and madmen, I don't know how many people regard him as an eagle dog and a lackey.

Today, if they succeed in bringing back Pixiu, they will surely become famous among the scholars of the world.

With this reputation, it will be easier for them to be re-appointed officials in the six ministries in the future.

And this Lin Qianhu will also lose face.

……

Lin Mang turned around and walked towards the Zhenfu Division, his cold gaze swept a glance at the Jinyi guard, and said coldly: "Are you idle and have nothing to do?" ”

"Don't go back yet!"

When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled.

Seeing that this Lin Qianhu was in a bad mood, touching his brow at this moment, it was purely looking for death.

Everyone hurriedly returned to the Zhenfu Division.

The gate of the North Town Fuji also slowly closed.

"Lord Lin, do you really want to hand it over?"

Li Jinzhong also walked in.

The father-in-law said that Lin Mang would have a way to deal with it, but looking at the current situation, I'm afraid it's a little difficult.

"Deliver?"

Lin Mang smiled coldly and said coldly: "Then they have to dare to take it." ”

"Someone!"

Tang Qi bowed and said, "My lord." ”

Lin Mang whispered in his ear: "Go to Beicheng Liufang and find those gang people......"

Tang Qi's eyes lit up.

Looking at the faces of the group of people outside, he also held a fire in his heart.

Since following the adults, when have they been subjected to this kind of.

Lin Mang patted Tang Qi's shoulder and said meaningfully: "Tell them that they don't have to keep their hands, I will take care of them." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely explain." Tang Qi smiled and turned to leave.

As Tang Qi left, Lin Mang directly ordered someone to bring a chair, and sat at the gate of Fusi in Beizhen.

Not only that, but hundreds of people from the entire West Courtyard stood behind them with swords on their shoulders, their faces full of slaughter.

Some of the brocade guards who wanted to leave were stopped.

Li Jinzhong was curious: "What do you want to do?" ”

Lin Mang motioned for someone to bring a chair to Li Jinzhong and played with the taste: "I'll know soon." ”

Li Jinzhong glanced at Lin Mang deeply and didn't ask any more.

Lin Mang said in a deep voice: "Today, the Beizhen Fusi closed the door to inspect the files, it is a matter of confidentiality, no one is allowed to go out, let alone anyone is allowed to enter. ”

"Yes!"

Everyone behind him responded in unison.

……

Minutes and seconds passed.

Outside the Fusi Division of Beizhen, everyone waited anxiously, and many people were already a little impatient.

"Lu Siye, this Lin Mang won't come out, right?"

Behind Lu Wendao, an old man couldn't help but ask.

"It's been so long, why haven't there been any movement, they can't change their minds again."

Lu Wendao frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "Probably not." ”

Another old man snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "If he really doesn't come out today, the old man will die on top of the stone lion, and let the people of the world see how this brocade cloth Wei Qianhu is dishonest and selfish." ”

Lu Wendao hurriedly persuaded: "Li Xuezheng, why is this so. ”

The man said with a righteous attitude: "For the sake of the people of the world, what is the life of the old man!" ”

"Your Majesty is stupid enough to put such a bloody butcher in power!"

"Li Xuezheng, be cautious!"

Lu Wendao's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly scolded.

Li Xuezheng waved his hand, lifted his robe, and said with a righteous face: "The old man is not afraid of life and death!" ”

Dense footsteps suddenly sounded.

In the distance, on both sides of the street, countless figures suddenly rushed towards them, murderous.

Dense figures occupy almost the entire street, between the streets and alleys, they are all figures.

Those figures were all dressed as Jianghu people, holding sticks in their hands, and their faces were full of fierceness.

Some ordinary people were driven and scattered.

In the crowd, a man with a scar on his face roared: "Brothers, the time has come to earn money for meritorious service." ”

"The helper said, a reward of 100 taels for a disabled one!"

"Don't be afraid if you kill someone, the whole family is in charge of the old and young gangs, the adult said, reward a thousand taels of silver, and ensure that your son will be on an errand in the future."

The man with the scar is still well-known among the gangs in the capital, and once cut down a street with two knives, and his prestige is very high.

Naturally, he knew the details of this mission.

The lord had promised that this time it would be his case, and he would choose a place to be the leader.

Those who mix the rivers and lakes are all people who pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers to beg for a living, and they are fighting hard.

Some even feed one person, and the whole family is not hungry.

Wealth is moving!

In the past, the rivers and lakes fought for their lives, but now as long as one person is disabled, there will be a hundred taels, who is not moved.

is a weak scholar, and a few sticks go down to ensure that they cry and call their mother.

That group of scholars has always looked down on them, and when they see them, they can't wait to spit in their faces, and unfortunately, they also look down on this group of sour and rotten literati who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality.

These literati relied on their fame and privileges, and they usually bullied and insulted them.

Even if he went to the government, the government has always been oriented towards this group of literati.

Now that someone is giving them a back, it's still scary!

"Brothers, get them!"

For a time, hundreds of gangs on both sides of the street rushed to kill.

The people standing outside the gate of the Zhenfu Division were stunned.

Some people can't even figure out what's going on.

Seeing those gangs getting closer and closer, someone couldn't help but scold: "Stop! ”

"What do you untouchables want to do!"

Lu Wendao stood up on crutches and shouted with an angry face: "Stop! ”

"You and other madmen, this official is the secretary of the country, what do you want to do?"

"This place is the Fusi of Beizhen, do you want to defy the royal law?"

"Hey, young!"

Suddenly, a big shoe stained with dog feces flew from the shadows and smashed directly into Lu Wendao's face.

Almost at the same time, those gangsters also rushed over, picked up the sticks and smashed them.

Some of these prisoners have also practiced martial arts, but how can their self-defense martial arts be compared to these Jianghu people who fight every day.

Everyone was still a little apprehensive at first, after all, this was in front of the door of the Suppression Division.

However, after seeing such a big movement, the door of Beizhen Fusi was still closed, and he suddenly felt relieved.

"Brothers, drag it over and beat it!"

"Haha!"

"Good!"

A group of thugs directly dragged the group of literati Xiucai to the streets on both sides, avoiding the Zhenfu Division.

After a while, a group of talented literati were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and some even broke their arms and legs.

Some ruthless ones are even more vicious, and they take care of them directly according to their lives.

The contradictions between classes have existed for a long time.

That resentment has been suppressed, and now it has been released, and they are all full of blood.

"Help!"

"Help!"

The crowd shouted in horror, eager to get out of here with a few more legs.

In the crowd, Li Xuezheng's face was full of dirt, and a big man with a scarred face pressed him with a hammer, and there were not a few teeth left.

On his face, his beard was stained with blood.

"Made, let you shout again!"

Lu Wendao was no better, his elegant robe was already tattered, and the crutches in his hand didn't know where he had been thrown.

……

Behind the Fusi Gate of Beizhen,

Lin Mang's eyes were closed, and his face was calm.

It's as if you don't hear the noise of the outside world.

A large number of brocade guards in the Zhenfu Division hurried over, but when they saw the standing human wall, they stopped one after another.

A Qianhu wearing a dark red flying fish suit walked over and asked with a frown, "Lord Lin, what happened in the outside world?" ”

It's hard not to get people's attention.

Lin Mang slowly opened his eyes, looked at the person who came, and said with a smile: "Zhang Qianhu, it's not a big deal, I'll invite you to tea another day." ”

He is not too familiar with the few thousand households in the Zhenfu Division, and most of them are nodding friends.

However, there is no big conflict between them, after all, there is no entanglement of interests.

And in a way, they still have a lot of thanks.

Because of Lin Mang, Jinyiwei is now even more hardened outside.

This Zhang Qianhu is from the Southern Courtyard and is mainly responsible for patrolling the southern city.

Zhang Qianshan looked at Lin Mang deeply, suddenly laughed, and said loudly: "It's all gone, go and sort out the stalls today, what are you doing here." ”

They are all colleagues, and if there is no interest involved, he is naturally on his own side.

Regarding the shameless remarks of the group of literati just now, he naturally knew it.

If you want Pixiu, just say it clearly, why bother with a high-sounding sound.

What's more, Lin Mang's momentum is booming now, no matter what happens to him in the future, it is right to sell him a face now.

Lin Mang glanced at him in surprise and chuckled, "Zhang Qianhu, thank you." ”

Zhang Qianshan waved his hand, turned around and left: "Master Lin just remember to invite Zhang to dinner." ”

Lin Mang's index finger lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair, listening to the screams outside, and said calmly: "Open the door!" ”

The door of the Pacification Division, which had been silent for a long time, slowly opened.

Lin Mang stepped forward surrounded by everyone, and said expressionlessly: "Come on, escort this group of fanatics back." ”

The group of gang thugs threw away the sticks in their hands, and honestly followed Lin Mang's Jinyi guards into the Zhenfu Division.

Everyone looked at the scene on the street outside and couldn't help but gasp.

It's miserable!
