Master Lin has been in prison for many years, and finally saw the light of day. The governor could not meet with him, so he sent his family to tell him what had happened, and helped him to get back the old house, and sent all the people who did evil to prison or punished them. Mr. Lin's family business was revived, and he received 50,000 taels of silver from the official Zhishi. The county government only said that he was the old governor of Henan, and he took care of everything, and Master Lin was a hundred times more beautiful than before. He bought a shop, rebuilt a house, and the government made him a squire, which can be said to be extremely proud. It's just that the wife died tragically and the young son disappeared, and every time I think of it, I am sad. At this time, I was ecstatic to see that my son had grown up and was a talented person.

After the father and son told each other the reason for their farewell, Master Lin originally wanted Lin Yilang to stay at home to inherit the family business. Lin Yilang insisted on resigning, and wanted to inherit the mantle of the head of the Songshan faction and make a vigorous career in the martial arts. Master Lin had no choice but to let him go. Later, after Lin Yilang returned to the Songshan faction, Master Lin repaired a letter and told the governor about it. At this time, the governor had returned to the capital and served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and soon became a secretary of the Ministry of War. After receiving Mr. Lin's letter, he did not reply, but only instructed the messenger to greet Mr. Lin on his behalf.

After Lin Yilang knew about this, he didn't care about it, he only said that Shangshu was in a high position and would not take his ascension to heart. He practiced martial arts hard in the Songshan faction, served the master carefully, and became more and more favored by the master, and finally was allowed by the master to be the next head of the Songshan faction. Due to Lin Yilang's strong martial arts, Master Lin gave another 10,000 taels of silver to buy a house and land for the Songshan faction. Although many people were not convinced, in the end Lin Yilang took over the position of the head of the Songshan faction. In the following decades, under his painstaking management, the prestige of the Songshan faction grew, although it was next to the Shaolin Temple of Wulin Niu'er, the prestige was not suppressed. Lin Yilang's name is also getting louder and louder, and he has become a respected martial arts predecessor in the rivers and lakes.

It's just that fifteen years ago, a guest from the capital suddenly arrived in Songshan and asked to see Lin Yilang by name. Lin Yilang met the man, and after the two talked, they knew that this person was the personal servant of the governor back then. Lin Yilang was shocked, thanked him again and again, and sent a capable disciple to receive him carefully. The governor had already entered the cabinet as a cabinet elder at that time, and he was also on an errand in the military department, and he was in a high position. It's just that this servant's attitude is very humble, at the beginning he only talked about Anhui business, and happened to pass by Songshan, so he came to see Lin Zhangmen. It wasn't until he found a vacancy where no one was there that he explained his intention to Lin Yilang. It turned out that the elder of the pavilion heard that Lin Yilang was the head of the Songshan faction, and he was very happy for him. A few days ago, the governor of Fujian received a secret report, saying that more than a dozen Japanese pirates had infiltrated the Central Plains on the orders of the pirate leader and colluded with the green forest cottages, intending to start an incident in Henan in order to contain the officers and men who were about to be transferred to the southeast coast and reduce the pressure on the pirates. The elder of the pavilion hoped that Lin Yilang could send the masters of the Songshan faction to intercept and kill these dozen widows, find out the green forest cottage that colluded with the widows, and then send a large army to exterminate these bandits. After this matter was completed, the Yu Songshan faction was extremely beneficial.

Only then did Lin Yilang know that this adult had never forgotten himself, but he was afraid that his every move had already been under the surveillance of the other party. After he became the head of the house, he learned that the major gangs in the martial arts are all inextricably linked with the government, and there are people in the government behind them, otherwise they will be suppressed by the court like gangs such as beggars, and in the end, either the gangs will be destroyed, or their power will be greatly reduced, and they will become small gangs that do not enter the stream. Now that the Pavilion Elder is ordering to do things, it is a good time for the Songshan faction to expand its power. It was Lin Yoshiro who agreed, and asked the servant to tell the pavilion boss that the Songshan faction should do its best to help the court kill the Japanese and the thieves.

Because of the importance of the matter, Lin Yilang decided to take people down the mountain himself. This is because the matter is confidential, and there will be a reward from the court after the matter is completed. Lin Yilang thought that this matter had to be done by his own disciples, and after the matter was completed, those senior brothers who were not convinced that he would take over as the head of the family naturally had nothing to say. It was because he brought twenty disciples down the mountain, and none of the disciples in the other rooms were involved in this matter, and he didn't even know why Lin Yilang suddenly left Songshan with many henchmen.

Lin Yilang and his entourage went down Songshan, and they were picked up by someone sent by the elder of the pavilion. This person is an informant among the pirates of the Fujian Governor's Yamen faction, and he knows the leader of the Japanese pirates who infiltrated the Central Plains. Lin Yilang took the disciples of the Songshan faction to follow the man all the way east, and intercepted the dozen or so Japanese robbers in Huangpo Village, thirty miles east of Kaifeng City.

Lin Yilang originally thought that he was strong in martial arts, and the twenty personal disciples he brought with him were all shrewd and capable, and they were good at martial arts. Originally, I thought that it would not take much effort to kill these dozen overseas thieves. Unexpectedly, these Japanese robbers are well-trained, a team of three, a group of six, although the number of people is smaller than that of the Songshan faction, but each team is more than less. Coupled with the incomparable sharpness of the steel knife in his hand, as soon as the two sides fought, the long swords in the hands of five Songshan sect disciples were cut off by the steel knives of the Wako, and they were caught off guard, and the five were killed in an instant.

The battle was fought fiercely. After fighting for dozens of moves, the four big disciples under Lin Yilang's sect were in different places one after another, and the rest of the disciples were also injured. Although Lin Yilang killed three Japanese robbers, he was also stabbed twice. The two sides fought for half a pillar of incense, and fifteen disciples of the Songshan faction were already lying on the ground. The remaining five Songshan Sect disciples were all injured, and one of them had his hands and feet cut off, lying on the ground screaming loudly.

Lin Yilang killed two more widows, but he was also stabbed three times in a row, and the injury was really not light, and the sword was getting slower and slower, and he was in danger of being wiped out when he saw it. At this time, Deng Yao, the leader of the beggar gang, suddenly appeared with a gang of 100 members of the Jiangnan branch of the beggar gang to help the Songshan faction attack the Japanese invaders. Although the remaining seven pirates were extremely fierce, they were outnumbered, and although they killed more than a dozen beggars, five of them died at the hands of the beggars. The remaining two would-be pirates were scarred and surrounded by beggars from which they could not escape. The beggars surrounded the two men in the middle and demanded that they abandon their swords and surrender. Unexpectedly, these two would-be robbers could speak Chinese, and scolded the beggars for their delusions.

The beggars wanted to kill the two immediately. Lin Yilang remembered the instructions of the elder of the pavilion, and hurriedly stopped everyone. Later, he asked the two to name the Green Forest Cottage in collusion with the Japanese Invaders, and claimed that as long as the two of them said the name of the Green Forest Cottage, they would not hurt their lives. The two would-be robbers laughed, glanced at each other, and killed themselves with their swords.

Although this battle was won, the Songshan faction suffered heavy losses, and several of Lin Yilang's henchmen and disciples were killed. He thought that there was originally an undercurrent surging in the Songshan faction, and once he knew that several of his big disciples had died tragically, people with different aspirations would definitely take the opportunity to attack, so he was extremely anxious in his heart. Deng Yao, the leader of the beggar gang, came to meet Lin Yilang, and he bluntly said that he was invited by the governor of Fujian to chase after these dozen widows all the way, wanting to intercept and kill them. It's just that these dozen or so people are very alert, and there has been no good chance to start. After arriving in Huangpo Village, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Songshan faction to intercept and kill the Japanese bandits, so he led the beggars to rush up and get rid of these Japanese bandits.

Lin Yilang exchanged a few words with Deng Yao, and the person who led the way came out of nowhere, and said to Deng Yao, the elder of the pavilion had an order to ask him to bring the beggars to help the disciples go to Songshan and stay in Songshan for half a year before leaving.

Only then did Lin Yilang know that the Pavilion Boss had calculated very accurately. Knowing that there are people within the Songshan faction who are not convinced by Lin Yilang, once Lin Yilang's disciples suffer heavy losses, there will be people within the Songshan faction who will plot to become the head of the sect. It was to ask Deng Yao to lead people with him to suppress the hostile faction within the Songshan faction.

Then Lin Yilang took Deng Yao back to Songshan together. Sure enough, Lin Yilang's two senior brothers saw that fifteen disciples had died for some reason in the head of the house, and the remaining five people had almost become invalids, so it was indeed a good time to get rid of Lin Yilang. It was the two of them who led their disciples to join forces to make trouble, wanting to usurp the position of the head of the sect. Lin Yilang got the help of the beggar gang and captured the rebellious disciples in one fell swoop, except for the first and evil two who abolished martial arts and expelled them from the Songshan faction, he did not study the other disciples deeply, but included them in Lin Yilang's sect. The martial arts of these two senior brothers were originally in the forefront of the Songshan faction, and their disciples were also strong in martial arts. These forty or fifty people were transferred to Lin Yilang's family, and the power of the head of the house not only did not weaken, but increased. The other rooms saw that Lin Yilang's power was restored, and where did they dare to have different intentions, and they all expressed their surrender.

Deng Yao saw that Lin Yilang's position in the Songshan faction was already stable, so he said goodbye to Lin Yilang and led the beggars to return to the south. After this battle, Lin Yilang and Deng Yao became friends and vowed to support each other in the rivers and lakes. It's just that this matter is an extremely confidential matter between the Songshan faction and the beggar gang, and the gangs in the rivers and lakes don't know about it. This time the two reunited in Hutou Rock, and Lin Yilang saw that Deng Yao and Situ Qiao were at odds, so he naturally wanted to help Deng Yao speak.

At this time, Lin Yilang saw that Situ Qiao was still arrogant, and was about to say more. Liu Yong stopped him and persuaded him again. Lin Yilang barely stopped, just glared at Situ Qiao hatefully.

Seeing that Lin Yilang was no longer talking, Situ Qiao had the upper hand, and immediately laughed, put his hands behind his back, and walked in front of everyone with a stagger, carefully examining the golden lacquer carved dragon throne in the middle of the main hall. The throne was resplendent and magnificent, with countless jewels and gems on the armrests, glittering in the candlelight. Situ Qiao took a few steps forward, but did not approach the throne, but was more than a zhang away, circling around the throne.

Murong Danyan whispered to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, do you see this Situ Bridge pretending to be a ghost, what do you want to do?"

Li Qiufeng glanced at Situ Qiao and said in a low voice: "This person has a lot of ambitions, but his ability is limited, and he can't achieve great things." But villains are difficult to prevent, we must not be negligent, for this person to take advantage of. If Li's guess is right, on the one hand, he wants to use this matter to establish his authority in front of the seniors in the rivers and lakes. On the other hand, it is because he is extremely obsessed with the art of organs, and when he sees the mechanism laid by peerless masters like Yao Guangxiao, how can he not be ecstatic?"

Li Qiufeng's voice fell, but he heard Situ Qiao smile and said, "It turns out that the organ set up by Yao Guangxiao is not a big deal!"

After he finished speaking, he walked a few steps to the right, stood a foot away in front of the left of the golden lacquer carved dragon throne, and crouched down to carefully look at the square bricks on the ground. Liu Yong and the others didn't know what he had discovered, and when they were about to speak, they saw Situ Qiao turn around and say to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, please use your sword to gently tap the square brick three feet in front of you to see if there is anything strange." ”

Liu Yong pulled out his sword and slowly took two steps forward. At this time, the position where he was standing happened to be where Situ Qiao had just circled around the golden lacquer carved dragon throne, more than a zhang away from the throne. Situ Qiao saw that Liu Yong had already come to the edge of his detour, and hurriedly said loudly: "Mr. Liu, don't go forward any further, just stand there!"
