Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Debt Collector
At that time, there was also a big woman in Dongyang City, surnamed Cao, and I don't know where I appreciated one of the verses.
It may be a sentence in the poem "I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated." ”
The woman ran away from him blindly, but the surname Zhuo is also a big surname with a head and a face, and she can't help her daughter's life and death, so she agrees half-pushed.
Although he didn't dig deeper, he still killed the woman in the family tree.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the father who was almost so angry that he bled still thinks about his daughter, for fear that she will suffer and suffer, although he doesn't say it, he still secretly asks her mother to give her a lot of dowry.
But the woman knew her husband's temper, and she never accepted it, and even stood at the door of the restaurant to help drink wine.
But the feet of the Son of Heaven were once prosperous and one day were lost, and the Zhuo family made a mistake and was beheaded all over the house, but because there was no woman's name in the family tree, she escaped by luck, but the woman surnamed Zhuo who saw that scene was still depressed and bedridden from then on.
From that moment on, the man who has been high and low has opened a huge ancestral restaurant into a wine shop, and finally turned into a small wine shop, although the middle-aged man did his best to take care of it, but there has not been a trace of miracle, and the disheartened woman has not survived in the end.
From then on, the middle-aged man never wrote poetry again, but the literati who had heard the poems in the past admired him very much, and they all felt that he must have been really heartbroken by the ruthless God.
The man who came here to eat and drink had a bowl of rice porridge in his stomach, stepped on a chair with one foot, and drank another bowl of wine.
It is said that eating other people's strengths and weaknesses and taking other people's methods, but this guy said with a big grin: "Sima, I didn't say you, if you sell some tribute incense, you would have earned a lot of money, hey, when the time comes, you take me to Sanqing to burn incense, in case Sanqing sees me so talented, so that after my wish is completed, after I am developed, won't it be easy to carry you?" ”
The middle-aged man with a calm expression took the big white bowl, and filled a bowl of rice porridge for this few friends, shook his head and said: "It's good to have a heart, this person has done a little good and always hopes that Sanqing can know, but if he does a little bad thing, he hopes that Sanqing can not be seen, think about it carefully, isn't it a little too embarrassing for Sanqing?" It's good to have respect in your heart, and there is not much incense. And if you drink less, others will not drink enough. ”
As a result, the sloppy man full of rice porridge glared and said: "As far as you are fucking rigid, there are many truths, if you don't have these truths, how good is your life now, and you don't have any points in your heart?" You said that you can rely on your talent to eat, but you have been holding back, and finally have a wife, but you still can. ”
The sloppy man sat at the door with a bench, looked at the street that had been a little calm, frowned and said, but suddenly he seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly buried his face in the bowl, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "If it weren't for my father who received a bowl of rice porridge from you back then, our whole family would have survived." I don't like to be looked down upon with you. ”
Looking at the middle-aged man who had been boiling porridge at the door, the sloppy man could only shake his head and said helplessly: "Come on, talk to you." Sima, you only have one friend left of me now, how good are you. Come on, I don't have anything to say to you, this stuffy gourd, let's go, these are the little mountain goods I got from going up the mountain, you make some stuff with oil and water by yourself. ”
The man lifted the two pheasants and some mountain mushrooms next to him and said softly, friends who drink and meat are all particular about not revealing scars and not slapping their faces. It can be seen that this sloppy man is right, and the middle-aged man known as Sima seems to be the only friend left of him.
When Shen Jinan saw the middle-aged man, he didn't show too much excitement, just asked for a bowl of clear cold water, and then sat in the corner in a daze.
Shen Jin'an was the first to speak, pointing to the two lines on the wall and saying to the middle-aged man: "Big brother, your two lines of poetry are really good." “
The middle-aged man didn't show much contrast to Shen Jin'an's appreciation, but just looked at Shen Jin'an and asked, "Look at what you're wearing, shouldn't you be from us, what are you doing here?" ”
Shen Jinan nodded and said, "What can I do here, the most I can do is to go up the mountain to see the water and go up the mountain to see the temple." ”
After finishing speaking, Shen Jinan took out a tael of silver from his arms to express his gratitude, but the middle-aged man showed no concern for these two pieces of silver.
On the Qingcheng Mountain, which is proud of Xishu, if the Qingcheng faction is a sharp sword out of the sheath, then Lin Pan, the head of the Qingcheng faction, is the sharpest sword above the sword.
The old man who has been in the martial arts for many years is very important to the role of the family, but during this time, Lin Pan's body can be said to be in decline, and who can lead the Qingcheng Gang to create glory has become a top priority.
The youngest son Lin Yong only knows how to sit in the study and read all the year round, and the eldest son Lin Heng travels back and forth among the flowers all the year round, and many burdens naturally fall on the second son Lin Hong.
Financial power, personal connections and these things naturally fell on Lin Hong, and as time continued to grow, Lin Hong's status in the sect also rose and became more and more stable, and the appointment of the hall masters alone accounted for half of them.
Even the executive disciples who supervised the various halls were all under Lin Hong's orders.
Over the years, Lin Hong has a way to attract wealth, a good way to control his subordinates, and a way to deal with his superiors, and all forces have also been disciplined by him, and even some people who have benefited from him all year round will give a thumbs up when they hear the word Lin Hong to express their appreciation.
There were many bandits who were cornered under the encirclement and suppression of the government, so Lin Hong went to the aid with food, salary, gold and silver, and in the hearts of the bandits at that time, Lin Hong was their big brother.
More than ten years of fermentation have made Lin Hong's towering tree rise with the trend, and the halo of the other two rooms is becoming more and more sparse.
However, if you want to say that the heir who really meets the appetite of the old head of Lin Pan is Lin Hui, because Lin Hui is not only dignified, but even his demeanor and conversation are very much in line with the appearance of the old head of Lin Pan when he was young.
Even the old boss often praised Lin Heng for having a bit of his appearance back then.
In addition, Lin Heng has been in Jiangnan United Hehuan Sect for several years, not only has he received the support of Hehuan Sect, but even the large amount of silver and silver support promised by Hehuan Sect is enough to make the Qingcheng faction go to the next level.
The powerful disciples above the Qingcheng faction also have a three-legged situation, and the gangs are distinct. Most of the people were ready to join Lin Heng and Lin Hong's camp, while the rest of the people were undecided.
The situation is not yet clear as to who the next head of the family will fall into, and the truth of establishing a long or a virtuous person requires caution and caution no matter which dynasty era and sect it is.
Lin Hong has a strong personality, and the hall masters around him are also some people with hot personalities, and if they say something wrong, they will fight, while Lin Heng's personality is a little gentle, and there are many of the hall masters under him, and there are more Jianghu rangers, and several of them are among the top flower thieves on Qingcheng Mountain.
As for the third Lin Yong, there are more weak scholars who follow him, these people are powerless, and what they like to do most is to chant poetry and paint, and compare the style of literati with each other.
However, there are only three elders on the entire Qingcheng Mountain who can really make the three of them care about together, and among these three, Lin Tao, the chief elder, is the most powerful.
Lin Tao is not only the brother of life and death who rolled over with Lin Pan, but also the distant uncle of Lin Pan, when Lin Pan was still a nobody, the two were brothers in life and death.
Over the years, Lin Tao has not only lived up to Lin Pan's expectations for many years, but has also made great progress in cultivation. Because Lin Tao is not only a heroic person, but also looks at the important situation when doing things, so he has also obtained the position of chief elder, so to speak, if in addition to Lin Pan, then Lin Tao is a proper second-in-command in the Qingcheng faction.
Lin Tao's martial arts cultivation is already close to the realm of the ground level, don't underestimate the two realms of the human level and the earth level, it can be called a world of difference.
Lin Tao has not been born for many years, and everyone knows what he thinks and understands.
However, the family will always be closer in terms of emotion, with Lin Tao here, those Qingcheng Pai Keqing who come and go immediately should always be careful.
Lin Tao's expression was serious, even when facing the third son of the Lin family, he would not have any courtesy, and the only one who could make Lin Tao's expression mild was Lin Cui, the only daughter of Lin Pan.
may be the only daughter, Lin Pan can be said to love Lin Cui very much, not only is he extremely spoiled, but even the only person in the middle who can contact Lin Pan is Lin Cui.
Only when facing Lin Cui will Lin Tao's face have a little joy.
A gate of rivers and lakes dedicated to dominating the water and soil of one side, there are not only ghosts who secretly compete for power and profit, but also people who look at the whole rivers and lakes.
The smoky Taoist temple could already be seen, and Shen Jin'an and many pilgrims also slowly paused.
Shen Jinan looked at the merchants and pilgrims who came and went, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he had some faith in his heart, he would always be stable in doing things.
Shen Jin'an walked all the way up the bluestone path to the early morning Taoist temple.
This time, he didn't come to enjoy the scenery, but to collect debts.
