Tang Zimu sighed, moved to the edge of the pavilion, took some of the rain dripping from the eaves with his hand, and said: "Don't say, Tang is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, I can add another one to the transaction with you at this moment, although it is inconvenient for me to reveal my true identity, but hiding the beggar gang is really a refuge, and it is guaranteed that it will not be unfavorable to the beggar gang, Lin Gongzi, what do you think?"

Lin Jianlan saw that he knew that he was worried that he was unclear about his intentions for the beggar gang, but he easily agreed, but he didn't believe it.

Tang Zimu saw his expression, and said eloquently: "Lin Gongzi can know who is the statue in the temple of the chief rudder? That statue is Wu Zixu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and has always been regarded as the ancestor of the beggar gang, because when he was down, he wandered in Wu Kingdom, played the flute and begged on the street, and once said, 'The rich and the poor can't help themselves', I feel like this at this moment, but he finally helped Ji Guang achieve a hegemony, and I, until now, have fallen into the beggar gang, lamenting that time has passed and it is difficult to turn back, and nothing has been done. ”

Lin Jianlan saw that he also had unspeakable hardships, and when he looked back, there was still a dense rain curtain outside the pavilion, and he knew that the matter of the beggar gang could only be traced to this point temporarily, with mixed feelings, indescribable grief, loneliness, and self-blame, and he said in a low voice: "In this case, I will leave, Xiaoxia is so young, I hope you don't hate him for breaking the incident that night, treat him well." ”

Tang Zimu's expression was complicated, and he was silent for a moment and said: "Lin Gongzi, everyone who has achieved great things in the world needs forbearance to succeed, and trying to sacrifice his life for the sake of the battle of will can only make people compassionate, I really can't agree with it." I'm not afraid of what the words of a three-foot child can stir up in the beggar gang, but I cherish that Lin Gongzi has such talent and insight at a young age, so I signed a contract with you, why should you blame yourself for being downcast by others?"

Lin Jianlan smiled bitterly and said softly, "Brother Tang doesn't understand. After saying that, walking into the rain, Tang Zimu hurriedly chased out of the pavilion and shouted, "Don't you go to see Xiaoxia anymore?"

Seeing that Lin Jianlan didn't look back in the heavy rain, he just waved his hand, walked farther and farther, and gradually disappeared into the heavy rain.

In the Tongfu Inn, Yue Lingfeng was pacing anxiously around, Fang Zheng was also sitting on the edge of the bed, it was the first time he saw Yue Lingfeng so helpless, and said, "Hall Master Yue, don't worry, sit down and be quiet, why hasn't the little boy come back at such a time?"

Yue Lingfeng said: "Where am I in a hurry, I think it was raining heavily and I was delayed." ”

Fang Zheng saw that he was obviously more worried about Lin Jianlan than himself, but his mouth was stiff, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't you still know the personality of the little boy?" He also said that if he is not completely sure and will not act his own, he will definitely consult with us, and the little boy's martial arts are also quite hot now. Come and come, care is chaotic, it is better to taste tea around the stove and wait slowly. ”

Yue Lingfeng also smiled, sat opposite Fang Zheng, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said: "Chang'an is worthy of being the capital of the Tang Dynasty, prosperous and prosperous, accessible to Guangyu, and even the taste of the tea in this inn is a middle and upper quality." ”

Listening to the cold rain knocking on the window outside, Fang Zheng sighed: "It's the beginning of spring grass in the south of the Yangtze River at this time, and I don't want the north to be so cold, but fortunately, there is this hearth in the room, which can be a little warm." ”

Yue Lingfeng said: "I am afraid that the hall master has not been to the north in the early spring, and it is generally necessary to remove the stove and kang after the Qingming Festival, and there are often scenes of flowers blooming to welcome spring and falling ice and snow. ”

The two were chatting in a low voice, but they heard a heavy footstep outside, and the door was pushed open with a "bang", and they saw that Lin Jianlan was standing at the door soaking wet, covered with rain, bowing his head and not speaking, and in an instant, the place where he was standing was already wet. The two of them were taken aback, and hurriedly stood up and helped him into the house, but they felt as if they were holding on to a piece of cold wood, and looking at his face, it was also white with cold green gas, and his teeth couldn't stop shivering.

Fang Zheng turned around and took a dry cloth to wipe Lin Jianlan's face and head slightly, and was about to ask a question, but was gently dragged by Yue Lingfeng, shook his head at him, and looked down again, seeing that the rain on Lin Jianlan's face was dry, but the two lines of tears were sliding down, and he couldn't stop sobbing, and said intermittently: "Brother Lei, I hurt Brother Lei......"

He traveled all the way in the rain, and his mind was full of blood flowers blooming in the face of the thunder and the wall on the wall, and he also shot the leader of the official army with a palm for the people, but he felt that there was no sense of regret, and he was secretly afraid of when human life in his eyes could be so rashly erased, this time the matter of Lei Kan was like a hammer, and a heart was shaken to pain, it turned out that he was so small, how to control people's life and death?

Fang and Yue were silently waiting beside them, not asking more, Lin Jianlan felt more and more shameless, remembering the promise he had made two days ago, regretting his carelessness, regretting that he had just entered the rivers and lakes but did not know the height of the sky, and regretting that he had underestimated people's hearts...... A wave of remorse, self-blame, and frustration poured out at this moment, although tears gushed out at this moment, this emotion was mixed with incomprehension and disappointment for Lei Kan, "Why don't you wait some time? Why?" After a long time before he calmed down, Yue Lingfeng had already taken a cup of hot tea and put it in his hand.

Lin Jianlan wiped his eyes, and saw that the heat in his palm slowly rose, and another teardrop fell into the water, at this time, Fang and Yue had almost guessed that the execution of the "Lei Kan" during the day was just a stand-in, but what happened to Lin Jianlan after he left in the evening is unknown, judging from his tone, I am afraid that it is also more auspicious.

Yue Lingfeng patted Lin Jianlan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Lin, the man doesn't flick when he has tears, what happened must be discussed together." ”

Lin Jianlan intermittently told the events of the evening one by one, the two frowned and listened carefully, after listening to him, Yue Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, sat aside and said softly: "Brother Lin, you don't have to blame yourself so much. In my opinion, you are dealing with it like this, it is far better than making a big fuss about the beggars helping the mourning hall to make things out of control, I don't believe you ask the hall master. ”

Fang Zheng said: "Little boy, you have good intentions, we don't have any weighty evidence, we want to save Lei Kan's life, and we can't make the beggars lose face in the martial arts, only Tang Zimu, whose origin is not known, and has some status, it is indeed the best choice to make this deal with him." He is indeed interested, although he knows that we can't help him only by the words of a child, but with the ability of the beggar gang to find out the news, if anyone really doubts him, I am afraid that sooner or later his true body will be dug up. ”

Yue Lingfeng said: "Brother Lin's arrangement is only in one place, and that is Lei Kan who we want to save his life. This is a lesson that is not too late, people can't easily trade it, even if it's a chess piece, it has its own heart. Brother Lin, you just misunderstood his heart. ”

Lin Jianlan raised his teary eyes, and with doubts, Yue Lingfeng sighed and said, "How loyal he is to the old gang leader, how can he not know that he has a bad luck ahead of him, but he will definitely take you to the place of rendezvous." ”

Lin Jianlan stood up violently with an "ah", Yue Lingfeng said: "Do you understand now? You said that he wanted to clear his wrongs, this is a big mistake, he wants you to catch the murderer and avenge the Nian gang leader! It is naturally good to have a life, but he is not a stupid person, you explained everything at night, he knows that the only way to track down the real murderer is through Tang Zimu, but in order to save his life, he let Tang Zimu go in vain, how do you tell him to deal with himself?"

Lin Jianlan said gloomily: "Although I swore not to reveal half a sentence to the beggars, it doesn't mean that I will just let it go, I wanted to tell him that it was just a temporary relief, and then I started to investigate, but Brother Lei actually ......"

Fang Zheng said: "Even if you explain to him that he doesn't die today, the idea of 'letting go of the murderer because of himself' will become deeper and deeper, and one day he will kill himself." ”

Yue Lingfeng stroked his palms and sighed: "This is the difference between people, although Lei Kan is chivalrous, it only stops there. Those who achieve great things need to be able to forbear, if it is Brother Lin, what will you do?"

Lin Jianlan had been explained by the two of them, and he had calmed down a lot, and at this moment, seeing that Yue Lingfeng was somewhat similar to what Tang Zimu said, he thought for a moment and said: "If I can have a life, why bother to pretend to others, even if my strength is meager, I have to do my best to find out the murderer and take revenge." ”

Fang Zheng looked happy, patted Lin Jianlan on the shoulder and said, "That's right, you looked really embarrassed just now, go back to the room to clean up, have a good rest, and let's leave for Hangzhou tomorrow." ”

Lin Jianlan shook his head, his face was a little gloomy, and said, "Hall Master Fang, Hall Master Yue, I won't go all the way back with you." Since he left Hangzhou, he used his tricks to suppress Zhu Protector, relying on a little martial arts, and getting some little sweetness, he thought that he could be free in the rivers and lakes and be in charge alone. If I had discussed with you today, how could I have come to this point? I have always been responsible for the death of Brother Lei, and I have made several light promises to save his life and restore his innocence, but I have not done the same. Seeing that the two of them were about to dissuade again, he smiled to himself, waved his hand and said: "Besides, the death of the old gang leader must have something to do with the Kuangyi Gang, how can I shake my hand and stop it? In this way, I am not only sorry for Uncle Qing, but also sorry for the old gang leader's spirit in the sky." Alas, you don't have to persuade me, I'm ...... I went first. ”

Seeing him silently pushing the door out, the two of them had nothing to say for a while, and Fang Zheng sighed for a while: "The little boy himself was involuntarily stopped in Jiangnan, after several years, his wisdom has been very good, but this time he suffered this setback for the first time when he acted on his own, and it was inevitable that he would be depressed." He smiled again and said, "Leave him alone, tomorrow morning, when his mood is a little stable, I will persuade him to go back with us." ”

Having said that, Yue Lingfeng lay on the bed but always couldn't fall asleep, tossed and turned and finally reached the fifth watch, jumped up from the bed, hurriedly washed his face, pushed the door open, only to hear a "snap" sound, an object fell from the crack in the door to the ground, looked down, it was a letter, sighed in his heart, bent down to pick it up, sure enough, it was Lin Jianlan's book.

At this time, Fang Zheng had already woken up when he heard the sound, and Yue Lingfeng sighed: "I stayed up all night last night, and I didn't even notice that Brother Lin left a book and left. ”

When I opened the letter, I saw that the handwriting was quite similar to Lin Longqing's handwriting, but it was not so sharp, and it was more mellow and delicate:

"Brother Yue, Hall Master Fang: I'm gone, after going through this incident, I realized that I am still too shallow, so I don't need to worry about me, Uncle Qing also said that I can have more experience outside, in addition to continuing to investigate the matter of the old gang leader, there is also the matter of the two branch hall masters near the imperial capital, I also want to secretly visit, and I don't want to bother Uncle Qing anymore about my own parents. In addition, I also have a word to tell you, Kuang Yi Gang is now an eventful time, you have to go back as soon as possible, Uncle Qing deliberately sent the two of you out, there is no one around, I am afraid that there is a plan, if I think well, I am afraid to lure someone to make a move, but I hope my concerns are superfluous, I hope the two of you cherish all the way. Lin Jianlan worships"

The two looked at each other, but they didn't know what Lin Jianlan meant in the end, could there be anyone in the gang who made Lin Longqing suspicious? Although Lin Jianlan didn't say anything, he seemed to know who this person was, thinking that Cao Shujian, Cheng Dafu and Jinzhou had rebelled in the past few years, he couldn't help but feel nervous for a while, and hurriedly packed up his salute, and he couldn't take care of breakfast, so he ran to the south.

As soon as the two horses galloped away, Lin Jianlan emerged from the small door in the corner of the inn, watching the two people in the distance gradually drift away, his eyes gradually covered with a layer of fog, turned around and went upstairs, and after a while, he walked out with the package.

Out of the inn, he didn't know where to go, and thought about it, if he followed Lin Longqing's approach, it would be better to rent a quiet residence, which would be disturbed by no one and much cheaper than the permanent inn. Thinking of this, he carried the package on his shoulder, walked along the long street and carefully inquired and interrogated, and occasionally saw someone posting a notice of "Yoshiya for rent", so he went to negotiate, but he could not find a satisfactory house.

The capital of Chang'an is huge, the streets are densely dotted, Lin Jianlan walked like this for a morning, in the morning because he wanted to avoid Fang Zheng and Yue Lingfeng, he did not eat, at this time the abdomen was already empty, looking around, he couldn't find a restaurant and restaurant, but not far from the front is an inn, carved beams and paintings, it looks quite good, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, went in and picked a seat and sat down and said to Xiao Er: "Cabbage tofu, fried shredded potatoes, a bowl of rice." ”

When the little second saw that he had chosen a seat, he thought he was a rich son, but he didn't want to order just such two unsightly dishes, and suddenly his face turned into a grim face, and said, "I'm sorry for this, can you change your seat? ”

Lin Jianlan knew his power, and he didn't bother to argue, shook his head and smiled, then got up and followed the little second to a seat in the corner, there was nothing wrong with it, but the light was too dim.

Seeing him sit down, Xiao Erfang lazily shouted to the back hall: "Cabbage tofu, fried shredded potatoes, a bowl of rice, hurry up!"

The good news is that the meal is fast, I think I hope that the guest officer, who has no oil and water to fish, will finish eating quickly to make room, Lin Jianlan was eating, and suddenly heard the sound of wheels and the neighing of horses outside, followed by Xiao Erji's excited shout: "There is a distinguished guest here!
