Chapter 417
Among the heroes, Situ Qiao hated Deng Yao and Lin Yilang the most. Along the way, Lin Yilang and Deng Yao sang and harmonized, laughed and scolded Situ Qiao, and humiliated repeatedly. Just now Deng Yao miscalculated again and again, and his sharpness had been lost, but Lin Yilang was arrogant to Situ Qiao, and he did not restrain himself. It was Situ Qiao who showed no mercy to him, and he sneered at him with a gun and a stick in his words.
Although Lin Yilang is not as calm as Liu Yong, Chu Danyang, and Xu Chenghe, he is not a reckless person, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the position of the head of the Songshan faction. It's just that fifteen years ago, a bigwig in the capital suddenly ordered the Songshan faction to ask Lin Yilang to lead the disciples of the Songshan faction to ambush more than a dozen Japanese masters who had infiltrated the Central Plains in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. The two sides fought a big battle because of this, Lin Yilang was seriously injured, but fortunately the beggars helped, and then he met Deng Yao.
At that time, Lin Yilang took over the position of the head of the Songshan faction not long ago, and he had never fought with the Japanese invaders, thinking that the Songshan faction was one of the top ten sects of martial arts in the Central Plains. When he went down the mountain, he only brought a dozen disciples under his own sect, but he did not let the first generation of disciples of the Songshan faction and his masters accompany him.
Lin Yilang's move was naturally selfish. Since he took over as the head of the Songshan faction, several brothers and sisters in the sect were not convinced by his martial arts knowledge. Lin Yilang also knew that it was difficult to obey with his own martial arts alone, so he was often frightened. It stands to reason that his position as head of the house is unstable, so he should not leave Songshan for a long journey, but the reason for this can be traced back to more than 40 years ago.
More than 40 years ago, Lin Yilang's father once rescued a talent who participated in the township examination. At that time, this show was exhausted, extremely hungry, and fell in front of the door of the forest house. The Lin family is quite wealthy, but Lin Yilang's father is also a kind and charitable person, so he rescued that Xiucai into the family, invited Lang Zhong to heal Xiucai, and gave him a coil when he left.
The Lin family has done countless good deeds, and saving this Xiucai is just a trivial matter, and Lin Yilang's father did not take this matter to heart, and soon forgot about it completely. At that time, Lin Yilang was young, and he studied with his husband at home, and originally thought that he would gain fame in the future and glorify his ancestors. Who would have thought that a disaster would come, an official who returned to his hometown took a fancy to a piece of land of the Lin family and wanted to buy it as an ancestral grave. That piece of land is a treasure of feng shui, and the Lin family has long planned to move the ancestral tomb, so naturally they can't agree to this official's request. This official secretly spent a large sum of money to pay up and down, bought off the magistrate and the third class to arrest Kuai, and convicted Lin Yilang's father of "colluding with mountain bandits and plotting against him", and was arrested and tortured in prison. Within three days, there were rumors that Master Lin had died in prison.
After Master Lin was arrested, some scoundrels in the township took the opportunity to come to the door to make trouble. Mrs. Lin was even frightened, and she actually fell ill suddenly. After hearing the news that Master Lin was tortured to death in prison, she vomited blood and died within a few days. Lin Yilang was the only one left in the Lin family, and those ill-intentioned family servants had no scruples and plundered the Lin family's property. Some relatives of the Lin family also took advantage of the fire to rob and occupy the Lin family's house, and Lin Yilang was also kicked out of the house.
At that time, Lin Yilang was just a five- or six-year-old child, after being kicked out of the house, it was the cold winter wax moon, he was hungry and cold, and there was really no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. Although most of the neighbors have benefited from Master Lin, it is just the icing on the cake, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, seeing that the Lin family has offended the government and the family is ruined, they all changed their faces, watching Lin Yilang struggle in the ice and snow, but no one is willing to help.
Seeing that Lin Yilang was about to die of cold and starvation, the head of the Songshan faction led several disciples to Luoyang to run errands, and on the way back, he happened to meet Lin Yilang who was frozen on the side of the road. They hurriedly picked him up, dressed him in clothes, and asked him where he came from. Although Lin Yilang is just a child, he has encountered great changes in the past ten days, and he already knows that people's hearts are sinister. Thinking that the people of the Lin family wish that they would die sooner, they could occupy Master Lin's family property more comfortably. If you stay here for any more day, you will be in more danger. He only said that his parents were dead, and he was helpless, and he begged all the way to this place, and because he was cold and hungry, he fainted on the side of the road.
The head of the Songshan faction saw that Lin Yilang was pitiful, but he was smart and clever, and he was a talent that could be created, so he brought him back to Songshan and accepted him as his apprentice. Lin Yilang is bent on revenge, and when he practices martial arts, he works harder than others. It is because of his martial arts that he enters the realm very quickly, although he is the latest to enter, his martial arts are a thousand miles a day, surpassing many senior brothers.
When he reached the age of eighteen, he felt that his martial arts had made great progress, and he thought of returning home to take revenge. It's just that he didn't want this matter to implicate the Songshan faction, so he pushed to the head of the family that he had been away from home for more than ten years and wanted to go home to worship his parents' graves to comfort the spirits of his ancestors. The head of the house pitied him for his filial piety, and naturally there was no objection. Lin Yilang cleaned up, then said goodbye to his master and brothers, and went straight down the mountain.
The Lin family lives in Xiuwu, Henan, but it is not far from Songshan. After Yoshiro Hayashi descended the mountain, he went all the way north. After crossing the Yellow River and walking for two days, he entered the territory of Xiuwu County. He knew that the official family of Na Zhishi had a big business, and there were many martial artists in the house. Although these people are not first-class players in the rivers and lakes, they are just numerous and powerful, and they should not be underestimated. If you break in during the day, once you are trapped by these people, it will not be easy to get out. What's more, although he is bent on revenge, he doesn't want to leave a handle for the government, and when he doesn't say anything, he will be even more implicated in the Songshan faction. It was because he made a plan to go around the Lin family's old mansion first, and then sneak into the official's house at night to kill him to avenge his father and mother.
How do you know that when he arrived at the door of the Lin family's old mansion, he couldn't help but be surprised. I saw that the forest house was renovated, and it was even more magnificent than back then. There is a five-wing gate at the door, and the mahogany couplets more than a foot wide are hung on both sides of the gate. On the left side is written "Xiangyangmen is always in the first spring", and on the right side is "there is more than enough celebration for good people". Lin Yilang was sad and indignant in his heart, secretly thinking that those shameless clansmen had occupied his own house, and he also hung out such a couplet, boasting about what kind of "good people", it was really shameless.
He was extremely angry in his heart, and he hated the clansmen who had occupied the house, even more so than the officials of the Zhishi. It was because he made up his mind that he would first teach the clansmen a lesson, and then get rid of the Zhishi officials.
After Lin Yilang made up his mind, he was about to find a place to rest first, waiting for the opportunity to teach these villains a lesson. But I saw a few people coming out of the forest house, and the person who was the leader turned out to be his father. Shocked, he rubbed his eyes and looked closely. Although more than ten years have passed, and his father's beard and hair are all white, but his face has not changed greatly, is it not who his father is? He was shocked, and he was about to come forward to recognize him, and then he thought that he had come to take revenge, and if he recognized his father at this time, then the official Zhishi was killed by himself, and his father would definitely be implicated. He had no choice but to stand aside and watch his father walk in front of him.
At that time, Lin Yilang had been away from home for more than ten years, and he was no longer the original child, so he didn't have to worry about being recognized by others. He confidently and boldly walked around the Lin family's house, only to find that the Lin house was much larger than back then, and from the courtyard wall, there were several more two-story small buildings. These buildings are carved and painted, and they are extremely luxurious. The more Lin Yilang looked at it, the more frightened he became, secretly thinking that it was rumored in the village that his father had died in prison, and his mother died of fear, so why did he appear alive in front of him today? Moreover, the old mansion was not only not decaying, but also completely renewed. It's a strange thing.
He found a deserted forest and waited in it until it was dark, and then quietly sneaked back to the Lin family's old house. With his martial arts, jumping into the courtyard wall is a breeze. It's just that after entering the courtyard, I saw pavilions everywhere, rockeries, pools, flowers and plants. Although the Lin family was originally a wealthy family, they could only be regarded as rich landowners in the countryside at most, but the current houses and courtyards are magnificent and elegant. Lin Yilang became more and more frightened the more he walked, until he found Master Lin and the father and son recognized each other, he didn't know what the reason for such a huge change was.
More than ten years ago, that Xiucai was sponsored by Master Lin to participate in the township examination, and he actually won the Jinshi background with the first place. Later, he won the top three in the meeting examination and the palace examination, and was appointed by the emperor to Hanlin, and soon served as the imperial historian. Two years later, he was sent to Shandong to serve as a prefect, and his political achievements were obvious, and he was soon transferred to the governor of Sichuan. When he went to work, he happened to pass by Henan, so he remembered the help that Master Lin had helped him back then, and deliberately detoured to cultivate martial arts. It's just that after arriving at Master Lin's house, it is no longer a person. The governor was shocked, and hurriedly sent his entourage to inquire, only to learn that Master Lin had been framed and thrown into prison. Originally, a decision was drafted, but the case was reported to the Criminal Department, but it was suppressed because of "no evidence". The official of Zhishi was bent on killing Master Lin to get rid of future troubles, but he was no longer in office, and the officialdom paid the most attention to "people go to tea and cool", although he sent his family to the capital four times with letters to open up the joints, and the silver was also sent five or six hundred taels, but in the end there was no result. Later, the magistrate of Xiuwu County was not evaluated well and was punished for being a candidate, but the new magistrate was a protégé of the political opponent of this Zhishi official.
According to the opinions of the sons of the Zhishi officials, they originally wanted to make Yinzi sit on the charge of "rebellion" against Master Lin, and they had to kill him. The official had been in the sea for decades, but he knew that he no longer held an official position, but his political opponents were still in office. This magistrate is his protégé, and if he is not careful, he will be the disaster of raiding his house. It is to restrain the descendants and never reproduce the incident. The new magistrate is a fool, after taking office, he only knows how to spend all his time, and he doesn't care about the cases accumulated by the previous magistrate unless he makes money. The Lin family has been ruined, and only Master Lin is left trapped in prison, and no one is willing to spend money to save him? Over the years, no one has asked about Master Lin's case, and no one has overturned the case, so he has been locked up in prison.
When the governor learned of this, he was furious. The governor of Henan happened to be the same year as him and had a very good relationship. He sent a letter to him, and the governor of Henan sent a note to the Procuratorial Envoy Division, who immediately sent someone to Xiuwu to interrogate the case of Master Lin. This case was originally framed out of thin air, and it didn't take a few days to find out clearly. The excerpt was sent to the Henan Governor's Yamen, and the governor was also a party of political enemies of the Zhishi officials. A few days later, the Criminal Department issued an official document to arrest the official Nazhishi and enter Beijing. The official knew that something was wrong, and swallowed gold and died. After the sons were sent to the Criminal Department, they were sentenced to confiscate the army, and the family property was returned to the Lin family.
