Chapter 208: Propaganda First (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Between the two cities of Nanjing and Suzhou, the most comfortable way to travel today is, of course, to take the Yangtze River and the canal.
But this time, Lin Tailai hurriedly "killed" out of Nanjing City, and walked through the nearest Tongji Gate and the Gaoqiao Gate of the East Outer City for convenience.
In other words, Lin Tailai was a land trip out of the city from the east, while the ship Shen Wei Lieshui was parked at the Longjiangguan Wharf in the northwest direction.
And the outer city wall of Nanjing is too long, from the east outside the city to the northwest corner, I am afraid that I will not have to walk a hundred miles.
So Lin Tailai simply ignored the Shenwei Lieshui, and threw the boat on the northwest riverside, anyway, after the guys on the boat heard the news, they would drive the boat back to Suzhou by themselves.
Then Lin Tailai hired a car to continue directly to the east, passed Jurong, and then changed cars to continue eastward, to Danyang along the Grand Canal.
There are so many boats on the canal that even if you can't hire a boat, you can pay a little money to take a merchant ship.
Zuo Protector Zhang Wen looked at the package and said a little worriedly: "There is not much money left, take a boat to Wuxi County." ”
They walked too abruptly from Nanjing, and most of their luggage was on the Shenwei Lieshui ship, and they didn't carry much silver with them.
Lin Tailai said: "It's really providential!" It's enough to go to Wuxi, and I originally wanted to stay in Wuxi for two or three days! ”
Zhang Wen didn't quite understand: "After Wuxi, I entered Suzhou Mansion, why do I have to stop in Wuxi?" ”
Lin Tailai sighed: "In this era, the spread of news is too slow, and what happened in Nanjing City is transmitted naturally, and I don't know how long it will take to reach Suzhou City."
Therefore, if you make some moves in Wuxi County, which is adjacent to Suzhou Prefecture, you can accelerate the spread of the news to Suzhou.
As I always say, propaganda must be done first! ”
After following Lin Daguan for so long, the Zhang family brothers have become familiar with Lin Daguan's behavior style.
So they immediately understood that they wanted to make trouble again.
The sudden escape from Nanjing City before, and then running all the way, had exhausted the left protector Zhang Wen.
At this time, he couldn't help but persuade: "Don't always take the initiative to stir up trouble like a villain." ”
Lin Tailai rebuked dissatisfiedly: "Why can only villains take the initiative to stir up trouble, and decent people must be beaten passively?"
You see that in the Water Margin story, Lu Ti Zhi punched the town of Guanxi, and before he started, Lu Ti Zhi kept letting the town of Guanxi cut meat, did he take the initiative to provoke trouble?
So your pattern is too small, and those who take the initiative to provoke trouble are not necessarily villains, and those who are passively beaten are not necessarily decent! ”
Zhang Wen: "."
In Danyang, Lin Tailai did not show the flag, so he spent some money to take a boat normally.
Go southeast along the canal, and then pass Wujin County, the capital of Changzhou, and arrive at Wuxi County.
That day, I still lived near Xishan Station outside the south gate of Wuxi County, and I still lived in the inn last time.
However, when he walked into the front hall, Lin Tailai saw that the shopkeeper had changed, so he asked in surprise: "When I came here last time, the shopkeeper had another person." ”
The last time I lived here, the journey was lonely, if it weren't for the shopkeeper's strong recommendation of "Righteous True Confucianism", Lin Daguan would not have thought of going to Wuxi County to learn to join in the fun.
Listening to the new shopkeeper replied: "The old shopkeeper offended the scholars in this county for some reason, and he couldn't do it more than two months ago. ”
Lin Daguan was speechless, this style is indeed very Donglin.
Then he asked: "I see that the market outside Nanguan in your county is bustling, what pawn shops are nearby?" ”
The shopkeeper replied without thinking: "There are several shops, Huiren, Suzhou Dongting, and local." ”
After hearing that the local pawn shop's surname was Gao, Lin Tailai stopped asking.
How many families in a county can have both high surnames and usury? It is estimated that it is the Gao family of Donglin boss Gao Panlong.
The next day, Lin Tailai instructed Zhang Wu, the right protector, to go to Hushu Pass, and asked the royal tax envoy to send a boat to pick him up three days later.
Wuxi County is only a few dozen miles away from Hushuguan, and three days is very generous.
Three days later, Lin Daguan took out a piece of jade pendant, and instructed Zhang Wen, the left protector: "You go to the pawn shop of the Gao family and pawn my jade pendant!" ”
Zhang Wen asked curiously: "Where did you get the jade pendant from the museum?" ”
Lin Tailai replied: "This is given to Mr. Zhang Youyu by Jinling Zhao Ji, and asked me to take it back to Suzhou."
I just had it on my body, so I took it out as a prop. ”
Zhang Wen asked again: "What kind of charter is it for me to go to the pawn shop?" ”
Lin Tai said: "Take the jade pendant to the pawnshop and ask for five hundred taels!" If you don't give it, insult them! ”
Zhang Wen was speechless, and responded truthfully: "Actually, this kind of thing is more suitable for you to sit in the hall and do it." ”
This jade pendant is not worth five hundred taels at all, and to be five hundred taels is to buy and sell by force.
Lin Tailai sighed: "My image is too prominent, I'm afraid that I will be recognized when I enter the door, so you should go."
I'll be waiting outside the door, and if they hit you, you'll lead people out. ”
After the two discussed, they proceeded according to the plan.
The stepping point has already been stepped on, and the Gao family's pawn shop is only two streets away from the inn.
Lin Tailai held the iron whip and waited next to the pawn shop, while Zhang Wen took the jade pendant into the pawn shop.
After a while, I heard a scolding sound coming from inside, and then I saw Zhang Wen jumping out of it, chasing three or four thugs behind him.
Lin Daguan couldn't help but sigh, Zhang Wenkai's strength of ridicule was too poor, so he attracted so many people.
Immediately stood up and whipped one directly, and all the thugs who chased after him were put down.
But Lin Daguan didn't leave, and returned to the main entrance of the pawn shop and smashed all the signboards.
This time it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and suddenly more than a dozen thugs poured out of it.
In this era, opening a pawn shop and lending usury are almost equated, and those who do this are all good people, and raising thugs is used to do good deeds.
Lin Daguan did not make a strong move this time, but turned around and fled in a rare way.
Running all the way with two long legs of one meter and two long legs, he led more than a dozen thugs through the bustling commercial street outside the south gate.
It wasn't until he reached the canal wharf that Lin Tailai stopped.
The dozen or so Gao family thugs approached Lin Tailai, and before he could speak or make a move, more than 20 people suddenly jumped down from three nearby boats, and instead surrounded the more than ten Gao family thugs.
The leader shouted: "The archers of Hushu Pass are doing business here!" ”
The thugs of the Gao family are inexplicable, how could the soldiers of Hushu Pass come here?
Although Hushu Pass is a canal tax pass, and the scope of law enforcement is up and down the Grand Canal, and it is not limited to a certain prefecture or county, it is still rare to run to Wuxi County.
Lin Tailai shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! Do it! ”
On one side were more than 20 government soldiers and Lin Tailai, and on the other side were more than a dozen timid civilian thugs.
The battle situation was obviously one-sided, and after a dozen breaths, none of the Gao family thugs could stand up.
Such a large-scale brawl in a bustling commercial port, from the land street to the river boat, immediately attracted hundreds of onlookers, including locals and passers-by.
After the fight, Lin Tailai was not in a hurry to leave, so he stood in place and looked forward to his self-pride.
After that, there was a county Tian Dian Shi, who rushed over with dozens of strong officials, and asked Lin Tailai, "Who are you waiting for?" How dare you commit murder in public! ”
Lin Tailai replied loudly: "I am the current Konan Zhili Wuxiang Trial Solution Yuan, Suzhou Lin Tailai!"
Because he won Xie Yuan, he was retaliated against and persecuted by the officials of Nanjing City, and he was killed from Nanjing City a few days ago!
fled all the way to Guixian, but he was already penniless, so he had no choice but to go to the Gao family pawnshop to pawn the jade pendant.
A penny is difficult for a hero, this is a jade pendant given to me by Zhao Ji, the new first of the twelve hairpins in Jinling, and now I have no choice but to pawn it!
Unexpectedly, because of the amount of pawn, there was a quarrel with the pawnshop, and the Gao family found out their identities, so they did something to each other! ”
Tian Dianshi: "."
I didn't expect a group brawl case that looked ordinary, the water was so deep!
On one side is the local Haoqiang family, on the other side is the strong dragon across the river, and it seems to be involved in the struggle between the Nanjing Shiguan and the Suzhou people, and there is no balance at all!
This fact is not easy to deal with, and if you are not careful, your career is worrying!
The rest of the onlookers were also in an uproar when they heard Lin Tailai's words, they also didn't expect that this matter would imply such a powerful inside story.
Entered Beijing to take the exam to capture Kuiyuan, suffered the revenge of the traitor, and then escaped from the capital, and then fled all the way, mixed with a famous prostitute to give jade pendants, which sounds a bit legendary.
I originally thought that this kind of story only existed in the script, but will it happen in reality?
At this time, the leader of the soldiers standing behind Lin Tailai stood up and said to the history of Wuxi County:
"I am Li Ye, the leader of the archers of Hushuguan, and I came to pick up Lin Xie Yuan and return to his hometown on the order of the tax envoy Lord Wang!"
Tian Dianshi, who was in a dilemma, seemed to have found the bottom of the steps, and hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Since the king's tax envoy has spoken, then take the people away! If there is anything that needs to be surveyed in the future, go to the king's tax envoy! ”
Seeing that this classic historian was so sensible, Lin Daguan did not embarrass him, turned around and boarded the ship and left, not staying in Wuxi County.
After traveling dozens of miles, the boat arrived at Hushu Pass, which had been absent for more than two months, and there were only the last twenty or thirty miles left from Suzhou City.
However, Lin Daguan abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, went straight to the customs office, and visited the capital of the tax envoy king.
The royal tax envoy said very considerately: "If you are in a hurry to return to the city, go first, I don't have to be polite here." ”
Lin Daguan asked suspiciously: "Who said that I should return to the city in a hurry?" On the contrary, I may have to stay in Hushuguan for two or three days, and I would like to ask the prince to arrange accommodation. ”
"What are you doing here?" The royal tax envoy was surprised.
Lin Tailai replied: "I haven't prepared the grand welcome ceremony yet, why am I in a hurry to go back to the city?"
I have to wait for the etiquette to be prepared before I can return to Suzhou City. ”
Wang Zhidu couldn't bear to say: "You also know that Suzhou is a place where humanities gather, and he is not enthusiastic about the fame of martial arts at all, let alone attaches great importance to it.
What's the point of organizing a welcome ceremony that is completely useless? If you're a liberal arts scholar, that's pretty much it. ”
"Prince, your pattern is small!" Lin Tai said: "Whether a thing is hot or not, and whether it is taken seriously, can't it all be manipulated artificially?"
As long as you are willing and good at hype, you can get a lot of attention, even if it is a martial arts fame that Suzhou people don't care about! ”
