Chapter 290: Convincing the Honest Master
After leaving Wu'anjun's mansion, Lin Ze did not stop there, but sent 2,000 people to escort the people arrested in Wu'anjun's mansion back to the prison.
The remaining more than 20,000 black-clothed guards were assigned by Lin Ze to Chang'an City and beyond, arresting people according to the list of forces under Wu'anjun's mansion.
What's more, Lin Ze divided the two servants and the ten six-rank worshippers into four elite groups, which were responsible for the targeted arrest of the six-rank martial artists under the Wu'an Jun's Mansion.
As for Lin Ze, he took Ai Hui and Fang Xiandao to a mansion in Nancheng, where there was an old acquaintance who needed to be treated personally.
......
In the south of the city, next to the tributaries of the Wei River, there are rows of independent small houses. Lin Ze, led by a black-clothed guard, came to the third mansion accurately.
Lin Ze asked lightly, "Are you sure it's here?"
The black-clothed guard who led the way hurriedly replied: "Lord Qiqi, the person you are looking for does live here, and the small one will go and call the door." ”
After saying that, he walked to the door and knocked on it.
There was an immediate reply in the house: "Who?"
The black-clothed guard said at Lin Ze's signal: "The Tingwei Mansion is ordered to arrest the thief and quickly open the door for inspection, otherwise he will be punished for the crime of treason." ”
Then the door opened, and an old man with gray hair appeared at the door.
Lin Ze smiled and saluted: "Master Lian, long time no see." ”
The old man looked puzzled when he heard this, and carefully looked Lin Ze up and down for a long time before he asked tentatively, "Are you the concubine of the uncle of the Gongsun family?"
Lin Ze smiled slightly: "It's the kid, the demeanor of the incorruptible teacher is still the same, which is enviable." ”
Although Lian Shi didn't understand why Lin Ze came to the door, he still used the name of the black-clothed guard, since he was an old man, he naturally wouldn't let him stand at the door to talk, which would be too rude.
So Master Lian stepped aside and said, "Sit inside." ”
Lin Ze said to the person next to him: "The four elders will go in with me, and Ai will lead the others to wait outside." After speaking, he resolutely stepped into the house.
Master Lian invited a few people to sit down, and called the servants to bring tea, looked at Lin Ze and nodded again and again: "Yes, your martial arts qualifications are indeed no worse than your father Lin Dong, a middle-grade martial artist of this age, even if it is a period of the kingdoms when the heroes are combined, it is rare." ”
Lin Ze smiled reservedly: "Master Lian Miao praise, the kid is far worse than those heroes." ”
Master Lian smiled casually: "I just don't know why you came here today?"
Lin Ze paused, and said slowly: "Wu Anjun is suspected of rebellion, and he has been ambushed, and this matter is widely implicated. ”
"Bang", Lian Shi was so shocked that he didn't even hold the teacup, fell to the ground, smashed it, and heard him say in disbelief: "Wu Anjun rebelled? This is impossible, he is so loyal to Emperor Qin and Great Qin, how can he rebel?"
Lin Ze sighed and said: "I know that the honest master is unbelievable, but what the kid said is true. ”
A sneer appeared on Master Lian's face: "Emperor Qin, the first emperor of the ages, would also make this mistake of killing loyal ministers?"
Lin Ze hurriedly said, "Master Lian is cautious. ”
Lian Shi knew that he was out of shape, and coughed lightly and asked, "What is the matter with you coming to the old man today?"
Lin Ze said seriously: "The boy is the commander of the black-clothed guard, and he is ordered to thoroughly investigate the case, and all those involved in Wu Anjun must be brought back to the Tingwei Mansion for review. ”
Master Lian's face remained unchanged and said, "So, you're here to arrest me?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "In the past, the grace of the honest master to enter the Tao, the kid is unforgettable, and today the kid is not here to catch the honest master, but to repay the kindness." ”
Master Lian was surprised: "You want to let the old man go?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "Even if the kid lets Master Lian go, Master Lian has nowhere to go, after all, there are few people in the world who dare to take in the son of Xin Pingjun, and they will not take such a big risk for a six-rank martial artist." ”
Lian Shi Tuyou stood up, and then sat down slowly: "The Tingwei Mansion is really well-informed, and the origin of the old man has been investigated clearly. ”
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "There are not many people with the surname Lian in the world, and it is not too little, and if you can cultivate a strong person like Lian Shi, I am afraid that only the Xinpingjun family can do it, and it is not difficult to investigate this matter." ”
Master Lian couldn't deny it: "What do you want to do when you come today?"
Lin Ze said seriously: "The kid came today to repay his kindness, and he deliberately found a place for Master Lian. ”
Lian Shi said quietly: "Oh, where are you going?"
"Under the disciple of Master Hu Hai," Lin Ze replied solemnly, "The kid happens to be working under Master Hu Hai now, and he can be recommended for Master Lian, and he can be accepted directly." ”
Lian Shi sighed and said: "In the past, Handan was broken by the Qin army, and the Great Zhao was destroyed, and the Lian family, as the magnate of the Zhao State, was the key target of the Qin Emperor's purge. And with the help of Wu Anjun, I escaped with my life. ”
"After the collapse of the family and the country, I only had revenge in my heart, and I was already disheartened when I saw that Daqin was getting stronger and stronger, and revenge was far away. ”
"In the early years, thanks to Wu Anjun's father's face, he gave protection and care, and he naturally became a guest of Wu Anjun's mansion. ”
Lin Ze shook his head and said, "Master Lian's words, please forgive the kid for not agreeing." According to folk rumors, the grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by the spring, so the kid has always been worried about the kindness of the incorruptible teacher, and now he is taking the risk of taking the initiative to come to the door, wanting to get rid of the risk of being purged for the incorruptible teacher. ”
Master Lian smiled slightly: "The old man saw the little friend's intentions, but the old man didn't need it." ”
Lin Ze shook his head and said, "No, Master Lian needs it." ”
Lian Shi was stunned, how could this guy still be stubborn? Just as he wanted to refuse with righteous words, he only heard Lin Ze continue:
"Lian Shi also said that he was greatly favored by Wu Anjun, and even this life was given by Wu Anjun, and now that Wu Anjun's mansion is in trouble, does Lian Shi plan to ignore it and leave it alone?
Lian Shi was silent.
Lin Ze struck while the iron was hot and said: "As far as I know, in order to repay the favor during the period of the kingdoms, even the lives of the whole family can be dispensed with, why does Master Lian spare his life so much?"
Lian Shi asked rhetorically: "Even if you want to help Wu'an Junfu, you don't have to take refuge in Hu Hai, can't the old man go directly to Gongsun's house?"
Lin Ze shook his head and said, "If Master Lian does this, it will only add one more soul to this world at most, and it will only make the Gongsun family worse." ”
Lian Shi was puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" ”
Lin Ze pointed to himself and said, "Don't you know that the kid is being ordered to arrest the doormen of Wu'anjun's Mansion everywhere?" According to His Majesty's intentions, the final fate of these doormen will definitely not be very good, and Lian Shi still wants to give it a try?"
Lian Shi was silent, what Lin Ze said was true or false, he didn't have too many doubts in his heart, after all, as long as he inquired carefully, he could know.
Then he suddenly asked: "If the old man takes refuge in Hu Hai, what will be the benefit to the Gongsun family?"
Lin Ze replied solemnly: "If Master Lian takes refuge in Hu Hai, not to mention anything else, just having Hu Hai Gongzi in charge of handling this rebellion case will be of great benefit to the Gongsun family."
At the very least, Prince Hu Hai can intercede with His Majesty on behalf of the Gongsun family and the disciples of Wu'an Jun's Mansion, and maybe he can live a few more. ”
Master Lian sighed when he heard this: "In this case, what if the old man gives up this body and changes the court again, my Lian family has been loyal for generations, and he can't fall into my hands." ”
