Chapter 12: Clever Explanation

Lu Mengsheng saw that Lin Longqing wanted to grab the bamboo pen, but he didn't dodge, and the one in his right hand still pointed at Lin Longqing's left arm. Lin Longqing raised his left arm to avoid it, but his right hand had already grabbed a judge's pen, and said in his heart: "Why is this person's martial arts so bad?" Looking at Lu Mengsheng again, he didn't pull the pen back hard, but let go of his left hand, turned over and stood a few steps away from Lin Longqing, and smiled at Lin Longqing.

Lin Longqing shouted in his heart: "Ah, it's not good, why am I so rash?" hurriedly let go, the bamboo pen fell to the ground with a snap and rolled a few times, and then looked at the palm of his hand, it was already black, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Despicable villain, dare to make poison plot!"

Lu Mengsheng was very proud, and laughed: "The predecessors seem to have not asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes for a long time, and now the Hundred Poison Gate and the Smoke Wind Valley have been among the famous and decent families, and the heads of the two factions have long been on an equal footing with the heads of the various major sects. I have no choice but to offend my predecessors, and I have no intention of making things difficult. The seniors just robbed a lot of silver taels, but said that they didn't even have thirty taels on their bodies, and they really didn't believe it, as long as you took out 30,000 taels, you would give the antidote to the seniors immediately. ”

Lin Longqing condensed his luck and walked around his body, he didn't feel uncomfortable, he didn't think about it yet, so he said in a deep voice: "Those silvers have been distributed to the people who were bullied by Xinjiazhuang, and now the old decay doesn't even have thirty taels on his body, if you want silver, you can go back and grab it back from those poor people, hum, but most of them have bought the land, Friend Lu is very capable, maybe he can carry the land back from Xuzhou." ”

Lu Mengsheng exclaimed: "Didn't the predecessors leave for themselves at all?"

Lin Longqing finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said in his heart: "This Lu Mengsheng is also a scum who oppresses the people with martial arts, and it is not too much to kill him, and then slowly search for an antidote in him." At the moment, he said angrily: "The old man said it clearly and clearly, how can we people in the rivers and lakes rely on martial arts to accumulate people's wealth?"

That Lu Mengsheng immediately had the ability to parry and had no power to fight back, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Senior, stop, I have something to say!"

Lin Longqing was surprised in his heart why this Lu Mengsheng's martial arts were so poor, so he stopped and saw what he had to say. But seeing Lu Mengsheng's expression, he said solemnly: "The seniors are so righteous! I am really offended!" After saying that, he knelt down and bowed: "All kinds of offenses under the subordinates, seniors must not blame!" Lin Longqing was stunned when he saw his move, and said, "Friend Lu, ...... this?"

Lu Mengsheng got up and laughed and said: "If you want to share the silver of your predecessors, is it for food? The people of Taihu Lake are not happy, and they have the intention of relief in the morning, I heard that someone robbed Xinjiazhuang in Xuzhou, and I heard that the Ding brothers were chasing after to seek revenge, so I found my predecessors all the way with them, and I moved my mind to get a piece of the pie." ”

Lin Longqing doubted in his heart: "Since you have the heart of relief, there are many rich people in Jiangnan, why don't you do it yourself?"

Lu Mengsheng saw that Lin Longqing didn't believe it in his heart, and said: "It's a pity that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, and they have the false name of 'Green Forest Public Judgment', and they have to think before and after doing everything, but they are not as good as before." I hope that the seniors are not strange, it is getting late, there are other things in the future, and we need to hurry as soon as possible, so I will leave. Lin Longqing hurriedly said: "This poisonous ......"

Lu Mengsheng stepped forward and picked up the bamboo pen that rolled to the ground, and said with a smile: "This is my dinner guy, I can't lose it!" still inserted the judge's pen into his waist, spread out his palms and said: "This is a deceitful thing, seniors look at my hands!" Lin Longqing stared at it, and saw that his palm was also black, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly that he didn't look carefully in his panic, thinking that the judge's pen had already been smeared with ash, specifically to disturb the opponent's mind during the competition. Lin Longqing said in his heart that this Lu Mengsheng has never revealed his true martial arts, and his behavior is grotesque, and this pair of judges' pens is also very strange, but he doesn't know whether he is an enemy or a friend, and he clenched his fists and smiled at the moment: "I haven't come to the Central Plains for a long time, I didn't expect that there is such a character as Friend Lu in the Central Plains!"

Lu Mengsheng also hugged his fists and said: "Although the world is big, the rivers and lakes are small, he will have a reunion with his predecessors one day, take care!"

It was evening, the tired birds returned to the forest, the sound of birdsong was endless, Lin Longqing walked forward slowly, and secretly thought in his heart: with the current footsteps, he will go to the main hall of the Kuangyi Gang in a few days, and he knows all the dark card routes in the hall, but I don't know if there have been changes in the past few years. If Lin Jianlan is found, if Fang Zheng and the leaders of the main hall do not stop him, he will not waste his strength at all, but he is afraid of Hongfeng...... My sister has suffered great changes over the years, and her mind has long been different from ordinary people, she insisted that I was the murderer of Cao Shujian because of the blood letter, alas, although Cao Shujian is hateful, but the sister is pitiful after all, and she took Yin Yin to live with her widow at a young age. Suddenly, Lin Longqing's face was cold, Lin Longqing suddenly woke up, the raindrops beside him had already been falling, and his palms were already sweating profusely. Xin said: "Lin Longqing, Lin Longqing, why is your heart messed up before you arrive at the main hall, how can this save Lan'er? Hongfeng must have already set a trap, just waiting for you to go, don't act impulsively, and plan carefully." I made up my mind that I would not take shelter from the rain quickly, but slowly paced back to where I lived.

Lin Longqing's expectations were good, along the way, Lin Hongfeng said in his heart that Lin Longqing would come to the main hall to find Lin Jianlan, so all he thought and thought about was how to set a trap and let his own brother obey, and said in his heart: "None of those hall master protectors can be relied on, and Lin Longqing hesitated to say in just a few words, and the only way to avenge her husband is to rely on herself and Yin Yin's mother and daughter." But she couldn't help but think to herself, she didn't want to find Brother Qing all the time in the past three years, so as to avenge the sword, but no one knew that the sword stabbed it, as if it was pierced on herself, and she didn't hide from her brother who had cared for her since she was a child, but she was just smiling as before, but it was so desolate. She kept asking herself: "Even if Brother Qing returns to the Kuangyi Gang for Lin Jianlan, what can she do?"

Lin Jianlan grew up in a peasant family in Northeast China, and this time he was involved in the grievances of Lin Longqing's brothers and sisters, and was plundered to Jiangnan. Lin Hongfeng hated in his heart: "Don't blame me for separating your flesh and blood, if you want to blame, blame your Uncle Qing for burdening you." Although he knew that Lin Jianlan was really innocent, he still had a hard heart, and only ordered his subordinates: "If he wants to eat, give him food, if he doesn't eat, you will let him go, just don't let him run away." Lin Jianlan was depressed in his heart, he didn't eat or drink much along the way, he had been ill for many days, Lin Hongfeng's subordinates were instructed again, and they ignored him, and the others ignored Lin Jianlan's illness because of Lin Hongfeng's face.

After walking on the official road for a few days, Lin Jianlan was sore in the car, and suddenly felt that the road was gradually bumping, and suddenly the carriage shook violently, Lin Jianlan suddenly fell from one side of the carriage to the other, and his arm hit the board heavily, screaming in pain, but he knew that no one would come to ask, so he moved his body, curled up in a corner, remembered Lin Longqing and Wang Po, and sobbed again, slowly fell asleep with the sound of the hooves and bumps of the carriage, and seemed to see Uncle Qing leading him to play, and his grandmother watched with a smile on the side, and looked coldly, but saw Lin Hongfeng holding a sword in his hand, sneering at himself Sensen, and panicked, I had to hug my grandmother and keep shouting "Grandma, grandma", suddenly felt a chill on my face, and tried to open my eyes, but I saw that the bearded man in the courtyard that day was staring at him attentively, and another old man was taking a towel to gently wipe his forehead and said, "Little boy, are you awake?"

When Lin Jianlan saw these two people, he remembered in his heart that they were also Lin Hongfeng's group, and he didn't help Uncle Qing that day, so he hurriedly got up and pushed the two away: "What are you going to do?" Seeing this, the bearded man put a pair of big hands on Lin Jianlan's shoulders, pressed him back to the bed and lay down, and said, "Little boy, you have a fever, so Doctor Cheng came to help you heal and recuperate, and came to see you by the way." Oh, you may have forgotten our names, I'm ......" Lin Jianlan struggled a few times, but he had no choice but to press the hand on his shoulder with great force, so he had to close his eyes and turn his head to the side and said hatefully: "I remember you, your surname is Qin, your name is Qin Tianxiong, you killed Uncle Qing, caused me to separate from my grandmother, and what are you doing to treat me pretendically?"

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "You have lived with your stepfather for three years, how can you not know that his martial arts are unfathomable? If he didn't want to die, the sword wound would be fine for a while with his ability to use his own skills to recuperate, don't worry." Lin Jianlan closed his eyes and said: "You lied to me, Uncle Qing, he shed a lot of blood...... Qin Tianxiong saw that he was no longer struggling, let go of his hand, and said to Doctor Cheng: "If you don't believe it, ask Doctor Cheng, he watched your father-in-law grow up." Doctor Cheng didn't say anything, he only took the handkerchief away from Lin Jianlan's forehead, walked to the basin to wash it again, twisted it, and brought it to Lin Jianlan's side again, and gently put it on his forehead. Lin Jianlan only felt a trace of coolness slowly dipping into his brain, much more comfortable, and opened his eyes to look at Doctor Cheng. Doctor Cheng said slowly: "Your father-in-law is now a top master in the martial arts, I am afraid there are few people who can beat him, you see that he was seriously injured and fainted and never died in the snow, let alone a sword wound?"

When Lin Jianlan heard this, he was silent for a while, but tears slowly flowed from his eyes, and the two of them were surprised, Qin Tianxiong said: "You kid, why are you crying?" Lin Jianlan clenched his fists and shouted loudly to the two: "You naturally think that Uncle Qing will not die, but Uncle Qing's sister stabbed him with a sword, and he could have avoided but did not hide." I know that you have all wronged him, and you don't want to heal him, if a person doesn't want to live anymore, what's the use of being strong in martial arts?" The two of them were stunned, and Qin Tianxiong sneered: "Helper...... At this time, he is in the prime of life, how can he not want to live...... "I remembered the events of that day in my heart, and felt that what Lin Jianlan said was true, and I was speechless, but Doctor Cheng waved his hand to Qin Tianxiong, turned back to Lin Jianlan and said: "Originally, your father-in-law probably really didn't want to live, but the good thing is that you were robbed by Mrs. Cao, and now the gang leader can be saved." ”

Lin Jianlan stopped his tears, looked up at Dr. Cheng, his eyes were full of puzzlement, and Dr. Cheng twisted his beard and said: "The helper has stayed away from the disputes in the rivers and lakes in the past few years, I'm afraid he has already gotten his intentions, if you haven't been robbed, I'm afraid he really wants to take revenge on this brother and sister as soon as he dies." However, the helper is the most important person, like the big change three years ago, in his words, he only secretly pointed out that the source of the money used by Mr. Cao to give favor was not right, but he did not blame the hall masters for chasing and killing him because of their gratitude. If you have this calamity, he will have a lifetime, and he will definitely heal the sword wound to rescue you in the future. After a pause, he said, "So you have to take care of yourself." ”

Qin Tianxiong was greatly impressed by Dr. Cheng's analysis, and couldn't stop nodding, Lin Jianlan felt embarrassed at this time, and said: "I was so rude to you just now, thank you Grandpa Cheng for healing me, and thank you Qin ...... Uncle Qin came to see me. Qin Tianxiong waved his hand again and again with a look of shame and said: "How dare you dare, you are the righteous son of the helper, that is, our little son, just call us Qin Protector and become a doctor!" Lin Jianlan saw him so respectful, lowered his head and said gloomily: "Although I recognized Uncle Qing as my father, I don't want to be a little son, I just want to go home and stay with my grandmother and Uncle Qing." After that, he said to Dr. Cheng: "Can't you let me go back?"

Doctor Cheng looked embarrassed and said: "All the hall masters have great favors to Mr. Cao and have not reported it, and the events of the day are still a mystery, it is not easy for Qin Protector to visit you, and you have offended Mrs. Cao, even if you are released now, I am afraid that with her temper, she will still send people to find you at the ends of the earth, and I am afraid that you and your grandmother will not be safe and sound at that time." ”

Qin Tianxiong was unhappy, and said angrily: "Little boy, I don't like to hear this, the helper accepts you as a righteous son in front of the hall masters, but it is not accepted as a righteous son, there is a meaning in it, you think, the helper has you as a righteous son, so naturally you don't need a foreign surname." But when he saw Doctor Cheng making a color to him again and again, he was even more displeased, and said: "Doctor Cheng, don't let me say, I think Mrs. Cao is so competitive that she is always a woman, if one day she helps the master to take ...... again" But he heard someone behind him: "What's wrong with the woman?

Doctor Cheng was already embarrassed, Lin Jianlan and Qin Tianxiong looked out, but when they saw Yin Yin standing by the door, his face was still gloomy, staring at the three people in the room coldly, and finally his eyes stayed on Qin Tianxiong, and said, "My father is kind to you, and you repaid the favor like this." ”
