Chapter 20: The Truth About the Destruction of the Door (1)
"Now you can't call it 'little brother', you should call it Lin Shaoxia. Mrs. Li smiled and poured tea for the two people in front of him.
"Are you making fun of me?" Lin Feibai didn't mind, took the tea and drank it in a big gulp.
Mrs. Li said: "At a young age, you have such a clever swordsmanship, and you have a chivalrous heart that sticks a knife in the ribs for your friends, what's wrong with the word young man?"
Lin Feibai shook his hand and said, "Now that Shen Daxia has been kidnapped, we suspect that it is the actions of the Nanshan faction. ”
Shen Lin added on the side: "Does Lin Gongzi remember the little monk who was brilliant in the inn half a year ago? It is very likely that her father was abducted by her. ”
Mrs. Li said: "The little monk who is good at light skills, is it a little spiritual heart?"
Lin Feibai and Shen Lin said in unison: "Yes." ”
Mrs. Li looked at the two who were a little anxious, stopped selling Guanzi, and said: "This person is the apprentice of the great monk, the great monk came from the Shaolin sect in the early years, because he secretly learned the exercises in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, he was expelled from the Shaolin sect, and later was included in the Nanshan faction. After the great monk entered the sect, he got acquainted with Xiao Lingxin, so he dressed her up as a little monk and accepted her as an apprentice. ”
Mrs. Li took a sip of tea, and then said, "The two of them don't have a close relationship with me, and the division of labor with Chai Shao and others is also different. Chai Shao was responsible for presiding over large gatherings in the rivers and lakes, while the two of them were more secretly operating. ”
"So you don't know where they're keeping people?" Lin Feibai said.
Mrs. Li said: "I know that there are two strongholds of the Nanshan faction, the backyard of the inn next to my family's mansion, the bottom of the well is one, there is a pharmacy in Liuxi County and City, and the backyard is also one. Miss Shen can try her luck, and I don't know about the rest. ”
Shen Lin said: "Thank you for telling me, the little girl will say goodbye." ”
After that, Shen Lin turned around and left, Lin Feibai was about to follow, but was grabbed by Mrs. Li's arm.
Mrs. Li said: "If the Nanshan faction can't contact Chai Shao, they will definitely send someone to investigate, and this news can't be hidden from them." Today, most of those strongholds are empty. ”
Lin Feibai said: "Why didn't you tell Shen Lin?"
Mrs. Li said: "She is looking for her father, even if I tell her, she will still look for some clues." And Lin Shaoxia is different, so naturally he doesn't have to run in vain. ”
Lin Feibai listened, spread his hands back, and said, "You're right. Although Lin Feibai was worried about Shen Lin's safety, he was afraid that he would be too close to her and annoy her. It's just that Lin Feibai didn't know that Shen Lin didn't go far after leaving, but was waiting for Lin Feibai to catch up with her.
Mrs. Li looked at Lin Feibai with a smile and said, "Seeing that you have a sad face, is there anything difficult?"
Lin Feibai said: "There are no difficult things, but there are many problems." ”
Mrs. Li said, "Let's talk about it." ”
Lin Feibai said: "Why does the Nanshan faction collect the exercises in the rivers and lakes? They are already so powerful, what is the so-called matter?"
Mrs. Li said: "Who in the martial arts doesn't want to be the first in the world, whether it's the exercises or the cheats, it's just to become stronger." A little old man like me doesn't care about that. ”
Lin Feibai became interested and said, "Oh, you haven't practiced martial arts?"
Mrs. Li said: "I have practiced fur, but I didn't want to endure this hardship since I was a child, so I didn't practice anymore." ”
Lin Feibai said: "Then how do you protect yourself in the rivers and lakes?"
Mrs. Li said: "Money." The wealth accumulated by the ancestors in business for generations, coupled with their own small business, saved a lot of gold and silver. I don't practice martial arts, but I can hire people who do. If anyone wants to beat my mind, I'll hire someone who is better than him. ”
Lin Feibai said: "What about Chai Shao, didn't it make you deflated?"
Mrs. Li smiled slightly: "So I'm looking for you who are higher than him." ”
Lin Feibai frowned and said, "I was completely pushed down this road by you, it wasn't my intention to kill him, and you didn't pay me." ”
Mrs. Li smiled lightly, didn't answer, but changed the subject: "Actually, I'm also curious about what the Nanshan faction is really plotting, at present, they are already the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, but their ambitions are probably more than that." ”
Lin Feibai said: "It's not just in the rivers and lakes, do they want to meddle in the affairs of the imperial court?"
Mrs. Li said: "With this possibility, who doesn't want to be the emperor? Now the foreign tribes have been coveting the fertile land of the Central Plains, and the wars are continuous, so they can only barely cope with it at present." If the internal undercurrent is turbulent at this time, I am afraid that the world will not be peaceful. ”
Lin Feibai rubbed his forehead and said, "It seems that going against the Nanshan faction is still good for the court and the people." ”
Mrs. Li said: "It's not a bad thing to stand in the same boat with me. ”
Lin Feibai put away his lazy appearance, looked directly at Mrs. Li's eyes, and said, "Before getting on the boat, you have to make it clear, why did you let Qin Yu kill me?"
Mrs. Li said: "He can't kill you." ”
Lin Feibai said: "How do you know?"
Mrs. Li said, "Aren't you sitting here in a good way?"
Lin Feibai squinted his eyes and said, "If I hadn't woken up that night, I would have been a ghost sitting here." ”
Mrs. Li-for-tat: "But you woke up that day." ”
Lin Feibai said: "You already know my secret?"
Mrs. Li said: "I have been watching you in the dungeon. All poisons are inviolable, and it is indeed a good reliance on walking the rivers and lakes to avoid being attacked by black hands. ”
Lin Feibai kept an eye on it, and nodded along with Mrs. Li's words, he vaguely felt that Mrs. Li had a lot of things to hide from him, so naturally he couldn't tell him his secrets completely.
Lin Feibai said: "There is another question, seven years ago, the Liu family wiped out the Lin family in the Central Plains, does it have anything to do with you?"
Mrs. Li said: "The Lin family, could it be ......?"
Lin Feibai said: "Yes, I am the only person in the Lin family who survived." ”
Mrs. Li laughed and said, "The sky has eyes, and it didn't make the Lin family extinct." This is the most sorry thing I have ever done in my life, I was sorry for my conscience, when Liu Jianxin knew my secret and threatened me to fund them, I had no choice but to give some money. ”
Mrs. Li looked at the roof, sighed, and said, "Speaking of which, I have a lot of responsibility for this matter, if you want to take revenge, just take my life at any time." ”
Lin Feibai was a little stunned, and after a while, he said, "Why did the Liu family want to do something to the Lin family?"
Mrs. Li said: "I don't know the reason, they promised me that as long as I help them once, they will not threaten me with this secret again." I just wanted to get rid of them and didn't bother with what they were going to do. If you want to ask for an explanation, I can accompany you to Liu's house. ”
Lin Feibai's eyes were a little dim at the moment, he thought for a moment, and said, "It's been so long, and I don't care about waiting for some more time, the top priority is to find Shen Daxia." ”
Lin Feibai was very hesitant in his heart, he was afraid that he would know the truth of the year, if it was really his father who was sorry for the Liu family first, would he still go to the Liu family to seek revenge, if he gave up the idea of seeking revenge, would the souls of his relatives rest in peace.
Mrs. Li said: "I think it's the right time to go at this time, because Liu Jianxin is also a member of the Nanshan faction." ”
Lin Feibai said: "Maybe I can get the news of Shen Duan from his mouth?"
Mrs. Li touched his beard with his hand, nodded, and said, "Have you figured out what identity to use?"
Lin Feibai said: "The adopted son of the head of the Shen family. ”
Mrs. Li said: "Well, you killed dozens of people outside the Shen family's compound, and your methods were a bit ruthless, with this identity, then it is reasonable for you to stand up for the Shen family, and the people in the rivers and lakes dare not say anything." ”
After the two finished speaking, they rested for a while, and after the disguise, Mrs. Li took Lin Feibai and set off for Liu's house.
On the way, Lin Feibai asked, "Why do you want to change your appearance? Don't you want Liu Jianxin to recognize you?"
Mrs. Li said: "The fewer people in the rivers and lakes who know that I am still alive, the less trouble I have." ”
Lin Feibai said: "But the people of the Nanshan faction know. ”
Mrs. Li said: "I changed my appearance, but the people of the Nanshan faction didn't know. ”
Lin Feibai asked again: "Understood, why don't you let Qiu Niang help me change my face?"
Mrs. Li smiled: "The mask is used less than once, she doesn't want to waste it." ”
Lin Feibai pouted and asked some things about Tang Ying and Tang Xiao, but unfortunately Mrs. Li knew very little about the Nanshan faction and had no useful news.
A few days later, the two came to Liu's house together. Looking at the huge manor in front of him, Lin Feibai, who was standing at the door, sighed with emotion, and couldn't help but look around, full of novelty.
The housekeeper at the door stopped the two, Mrs. Li stepped forward and whispered a few words, and the housekeeper trotted in to announce. A moment later, the two of them were led to the antechamber.
Lin Feibai looked at Mrs. Li, with some doubts in his eyes, Mrs. Li smiled slightly, and motioned Lin Feibai not to speak. After a cup of tea, Liu Jianxin appeared.
This tall and strong man like an iron tower arched his hand towards the two, and then sat down towards the main seat, and glanced at Lin Feibai a few times.
Lin Feibai had mixed feelings in his heart, and the enemy was close in front of him, but there was no trace of a treacherous villain on the face of the man in front of him, and he didn't know how to speak.
While Lin Feibai was distracted, Mrs. Li and Liu Jianxin had already chatted. Mrs. Li pretended to be a businessman and told Liu Jianxin that he had a batch of goods in his hand and needed to be escorted to the capital.
