Chapter 157: What the heart wants

Song family, Chaohui Temple.

Inner nave.

Song Yalan sat on the main seat, and Song Changsong stood under the hall.

"Donghuangzhai has fallen into this situation, it must be inseparable from Lin Cang, you are mixed with Lin Cang all day long, what benefits does he have for you?"

Song Yalan asked directly with a solemn expression.

During this time, the more she thought about it, the more wrong she became, and she finally realized that she had fallen for Lin Cang.

But he got on the thief ship. If you want to get off the boat, it is difficult to get into the sky.

The most important thing now is to maximize your own interests.

Song Changsong shook his head and said embarrassedly: "Lin Xing hasn't promised me any benefits recently, he just pestered me to travel around the Eastern Wilderness, eat, drink and have fun." ”

Hearing this, Song Yalan's face changed drastically, and her eyes looked at Song Changsong with condensation.

Seeing this, Song Changsong's face turned pale with fright, and he said in a trembling voice: "I believe that Brother Lin will not hurt us, didn't we marry Jin Lan a long time ago?" ”

"It's all my own brothers, if it's really good, we can be missing."

Including what he said, Song Yalan obviously didn't buy it, she frowned, and the whole person fell into deep thought.

On the surface, it seems that the Zhenguo General's Mansion killed the big boss of the Huanghuang Village, and the East Huangzhai took revenge for the fierce battle between the two sides, and all suffered serious losses.

Donghuangzhai was even more attacked by the Zhenguo General's Mansion after the war.

Originally, all the mainstays of the stockade were strangled, and now there are very few people who can get on the stage in the entire Eastern War.

The village, which was originally full of space, has been reduced to Mrs. Cao presiding over the overall situation, and the Song family has also fallen into the second-hand hands of their sisters and brothers.

The post of Governor is still vacant.

Now the only way to slow down their losses is to hand over the position of governor of the Eastern Wilderness to Song Changsong.

Their Song family can still be the emperor of the soil in the Eastern Wilderness City.

Otherwise, the previous group of competitors would definitely unite to suppress the Song family, and it would be difficult for the Song family to survive in the mall.

Thinking of this, Song Yalan looked at Song Changsong and said in a deep voice: "In the past, you didn't care how you played my sister, but now you have to let Lin Cangbao promote you to the position of governor of the Eastern Emperor no matter what." ”

"Otherwise, our Song family will really be finished."

Wen Yan, Song Changsong's face became heavy, and he only had the Song family when he resisted the banner.

His eyes looked at Song Yalan resolutely, and slowly said Sister, don't worry, I will definitely deal with this matter

After speaking, he turned around and left, walking towards Lin Cang's room.

When he arrived at Lin Cang's room, Lin Cang was the only one left in the room.

Lin Cang held a brush in his hand and stood in front of the table to write a straight book.

The sun fell on Lin Cang's body, and there was a sense of peace and ease.

Looking at the man with an extraordinary temperament in front of him, it was difficult for Song Changsong to associate this person with the Lin Cang who was looking for flowers and willows with him.

He looked at Lin Cang in a daze for a moment.

Lin Cang put down his pen, raised his eyes to look at him and said softly: Brother Song is here, what is the so-called matter?

Song Changsong reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "They are all my own brothers, so I won't go around in circles with Brother Lin,"

"Brother Lin also knows that in order to help Brother Lin raze the Zhenguo General's Mansion this time, my Song Mansion can be said to be wiped out."

"After the death of my brother-in-law, now the Donghuang Village is even more run by the old woman, and my sister's power in the village has also been hollowed out."

Speaking of this, Song Changsong bowed to Lin Cang with a heavy face.

"Now the situation of our Song Mansion is very embarrassing, and I hope that Brother Lin will remember the old love and reward us as a Yin official to protect the peace of the Song family."

The corners of Lin Cang's mouth rose slightly when he heard this, and the time to come has finally come.

He had long thought of the Song family, and he would definitely set his sights on the Governor's Mansion.

If Song Changsong is allowed to serve as the governor of the East, it will be beneficial to Lin Cang.

Song Changsong had no power to help in the DPRK, and his identity was embarrassing in collusion with the bandits, and the only one he could rely on was Lin Cang.

Therefore, as long as Song Changsong can serve as the governor of the Eastern Wilderness, then the Eastern Wilderness will be completely in the hands of Lin Cang.

The corners of Lin Cang's mouth rose, and he looked at Song Changsong with a soft gaze and said with a smile: "Where is Brother Lin, this position of governor of the Eastern Wilderness was originally reserved for you, and I would have played the court for you a long time ago." ”

Hearing this, Song Changsong was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you Brother Lin for your care, no matter if Brother Lin has anything in the future, the younger brother will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up." ”

Lin Cang smiled slightly, and said lightly: "The relationship between the two of us, there is no need to say more about these polite words." ”

"Now is a good opportunity for you to perform, during this period of war, the people's financial resources have been seriously damaged, and people are even more panicked, and now it is difficult to even see people on the streets."

"These empresses are all in their eyes, if you can help the people get out of the sea of suffering, the court will definitely remember you, and it will be beneficial for you to be promoted and knighted in the future."

As soon as the words fell, Song Changsong's face was embarrassed.

In this battle, the financial resources of the Song government were seriously damaged.

The most important thing is that the money in their Song Mansion was all saved by burning, killing and looting.

It's really painful to give it to people like this.

Seeing his embarrassment, Lin Cang patted Song Changsong on the shoulder, and continued in a serious tone: "Brother Xian, rest assured, Brother Wei has already planned a way back for you, and I don't need you to pay much money this time." ”

"Just start from the original governor's mansion and these old subordinates who have been destroyed in the east and desolate the door, and succeed in bringing money and grain to their mansions, which can just make up for this vacancy."

Hearing this, Song Changsong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed to Jincang with a smile on his face, "This matter is all up to Brother Lin." ”

Inside the East Wilderness City.

Dugu Xingzhou casually tied up a few bandits and locked them up in a prisoner car to parade through the streets.

From time to time, he whipped a few times into the car and scolded a few words.

More and more people are poking their heads out of their homes.

After this period of war, they have long been frightened.

Most people only dare to look in front of the door, but they still dare not take half a step out of their own house.

Dugu Xingzhou and Liu Erbing are divided into two ways, one is responsible for taking the bandits on the street.

One side is responsible for gradually penetrating into the homes of the people.

Liu Er's dozens of female soldiers went to all the homes of the hundred immortals who leaned out of the door with a humble attitude.

Inform the people that the bandits have been completely eradicated, and Lord Lin of the imperial court is willing to fund their post-war reconstruction.

Under such an operation, more and more people were shaken in their hearts, willing to choose to believe in the imperial court, and walked out of their homes to gather in the center of the city.

And Lin Cang had long been sitting on the high platform waiting for this group of people.

The coffins of Governor Hu, Song Hongbo and Cao Dongyang were placed on the high platform.

Seeing that the people were almost here, Lin Cang stood up and shouted: "All the villagers and elders of the Eastern Wilderness, this official is the empress, and the general of Zhendong, who is pro-sealed, has specially come here to quell the bandits. ”

"This time has made you suffer, and I have allocated disaster relief funds to help you rebuild your homes."

"Now that the granary has been opened, you can go and pick it up in order."

Lin Cang's words were sonorous and powerful, and he exuded justice all over his body.

When the people in the audience heard this, they immediately exploded.

Everyone's nervous mood was completely relaxed, the sky had eyes, and finally someone was willing to save them.

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"General Xie Zhenguo's life-saving grace, I, the people of the East, Ding will never forget the kindness of the general."

After speaking, the man fell directly to his knees.

More and more people also responded to his call and bowed down to Lin Cang.

Lin Cang said in a loud voice: "It is the duty of this official to pay off the bandits, and there is no need to be polite. ”

Now that the leaders of this group of bandits are all in the law, and their corpses are all here, Lin Cang pointed to several coffins on the platform.

The bodies of several people were left to dry for days, and the smell of rancid emanation emanated from them.

But the faces of the three people are clearly visible, and several people can be recognized at a glance.

By now, the people felt unbelievable, and it felt like a dream.

They have lived here for decades, and even the general of Zhenguo can't completely eradicate this group of bandits.

I didn't expect Lin Cang to be able to subdue him as soon as he arrived.

Such a huge force can be uprooted.

In the hearts of this group of people, Lin Cang's prestige instantly surpassed that of General Zhenguo, like the reincarnation of a god, and all the people were in fire and water.

"I promise you that as long as I am here, there will never be any more bandits in the Eastern Wilderness City from now on."

Even if that group of bandits maintains stability in the city on the surface, they can commit adultery, insult and plunder in private, and do all kinds of evil.

This group of people suffered deeply, but because of Governor Hu's collusion with the bandits.

All the people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and there was no way to give advice.

Now that Lin Cang has eradicated this group of bandits, it is like turning the big knife on their heads into powder.

Of course, they are glad that the revenge is avenged.

"Bring those bandits up."

Lin Cang snapped the startled wood and shouted loudly.

Alone in the boat, Liu Er pressed a group of strong men in prison uniforms and walked towards the stage.

The group of prisoners all had a wooden sign tied to their backs, on which the word "chop" was written.

They were all tied with their backhands, unable to move at all, and were escorted to their designated positions.

Dugu Xingzhou and the others directly raised their legs to carry this group of strong men to the ground, and then several men with machetes walked towards this side.

The prisoners' heads were pressed against the wooden platform and firmly subdued.

When you're ready.

Lin Cang shouted: "This group of people rely on the bandit forces to do all kinds of evil and kill the people, and this official will punish them today." ”

After speaking, Lin Cang jumped up.

Jumping down to the bottom of the stage, he took a machete and slashed directly at the head of the prisoner at the front.

In an instant, blood splattered on the spot.

The rest of the men followed suit, raising their knives and slashing at the heads of the prisoners.

A moment of effort.

The prisoners were already on the spot.

Lin Cang was covered in blood, stood in front of everyone with great majesty, and shouted: "All the prisoners will be punished, and if there is a repeat offender, it will be especially the end."

Lin Cang's voice was loud and unquestionable.

Many of the onlookers were originally working for the bandits, and seeing Lin Cang's attitude of not allowing sand in his eyes, they were all frightened, and they were panicked and at a loss.

"Alright, let's leave it at that."

"Later, the official will send civil servants to all those who have been injured by the war. Regardless of the money house, as long as it is reported to the civil official, the official will compensate one by one. ”

Kill a few blood-stained bandits first, as an example.

To appease this group of people again, such a combination of grace and power is really the best way to win people's hearts.

Lin Cang's desire to have his own rights and regain people's hearts is the first step in a grand plan.

Next, he used this to find a large number of recruited soldiers.

In fact, this war is just the beginning, and the next counterattack of all forces is the most important thing.

It was also because of the plan that Lin Cang deliberately let Li Chunmei live.

At this moment, the people below were talking, obviously not believing that Lin Cang was willing to compensate them.

That's when it happened.

The strong man stepped forward and said loudly: "My lord, the beams of the villain's house were seriously burned down because of the war. ”

"The villain's whole family is terrified because of the war, and the family has long been out of rice."

"May I ask if the court is willing to allocate funds for grain in the case of adults like villains?"

When these words landed, the audience fell silent.

Everyone looked at Lin Cang intently, expecting him to answer.

Lin Cang looked at the strong man and asked in a deep voice: "You only involve the grain of the house, after reporting to the civil official, you will take the soldiers to repair the house, and the two people will take the grain in the granary." ”

The strong man immediately knelt on the ground and said with a smile, "Thank you for your grace." ”

Hearing this, the discussion below became even louder.

That's when it happened.

A middle-aged woman stepped forward and said, "My lord, Minfu sells tofu on the street to make a living, and when he was fighting, he overturned my stall, do you want to make compensation?" ”

Hearing this, it attracted a burst of ridicule from everyone.

"What's the mess outside, still thinking about setting up a stall to make money, if you don't get smashed, who will be smashed? You deserve it. ”

"It's all your own trouble, why should the court pay you money?"

"Building houses after the war alone is a big expense, so don't add to the mess."

The woman's husband blushed and hurriedly pulled the woman back half a step.

But the woman didn't give up, and continued to say loudly: "Just now the adult said, all losses will be compensated, and the women have also suffered losses, why don't you compensate the women?" ”

Lin Cang looked at her and asked lightly, "How much do you need to compensate?" ”

The woman raised her right hand and compared it to five, and said with a smile: "My stall was smashed and can't be used, everything needs to be repurchased, and the tofu money that day will cost 500 wen when it is counted together." ”

The woman's husband hurriedly grabbed her and said in a deep voice: "Don't say it again, be careful of being said to be a Diaomin." ”

Hearing this, the woman also regretted her recklessness just now.

The corners of Lin Cang's mouth rose, beckoned to Wen Chen on the side, and lightly handed over a thousand Wen to the woman.

"I'm sorry, my business has been implicated, here is a total of 1,000 Wen, more than compensation for your inability to open during this time."

The woman was immediately happy when she saw it, and he knelt on the ground at the same time as her husband and bowed to Lin Cang: "Thank you, my lord, my lord is really a good official who is rare to see in a hundred years." ”

After kneeling, the couple left happily.

When the rest of the people saw Lin Cang's generosity, they also became eager to try.

Seeing that the situation was getting better and better, Lin Cang smiled and said, "Let's find this civil official next." ”

Hearing this, the crowd all went to the civil officials bravely, and enthusiastically lined up to express their demands.

The money is not his own, and he can use it to buy people's hearts, so why not do it.
