Lin Jianlan was about to step forward, but saw a figure in the dense forest next to him quickly swept to the side hall, all the thugs were startled, and when they came back to their senses, they immediately surrounded the person, some drew out long whips, some held big sticks, and some held Pu knives in their hands, looking the person up and down.

Lin Jianlan looked from the back, and saw that the person was wearing a blue shirt, burly, although he didn't know the identity of this person, but from the body just now, it seemed that the martial arts were also quite good, and he would definitely not be hurt by these Xiao Xiao's disciples, his mind moved, turned to the back wall of the side hall, and entered through the window, he was blocked by the statue and heavy curtains in the side hall, and looked over, and saw an old woman beating her chest and panting, and a girl squatting next to her, crying by herself, tears were dripping down, and she couldn't see her face clearly.

In front of the two of them was a man dressed as a scribe, who looked quite young, and opened his arms and said, "Isn't there a royal law in Suzhou City?"

On the opposite side are two gentlemen, one has a beautiful face, but his complexion is white, the bags under his eyes are puffy, and there is a lewd smile on the corner of his mouth, and the other is full of pockmarks, shaking a huge fan in his hand, and gently fanning the pale son, and laughing in a rough voice: "Yes, why not! Uncle, we are the king!"

At this time, there was also a sound of fighting outside the door, presumably he had already handed over his hand, and the pale boy was a little impatient, and said: "You are also good-looking, but it's a pity that the uncle is not good at this, don't stop my good deeds, purse, purse? Get this in the way for me to get aside, if it doesn't work, I'll kill it!"

Lin Jianlan listened to the word "purse" and his heart moved, and saw a person silently turning out of the shadow of the pillar of the palace, his eyebrows were lowered, and he couldn't see what his expression was, and walked towards the young showman step by step, Lin Jianlan had seen the death of Leader Chen, although he didn't know what weapon this "purse" was used for, but he understood that most of the people in the Imperial Kou Division were ruthless, and they didn't dare to delay any longer, so they scolded, "Stop" and jumped into the open space.

The pockmarked face was startled at first, and then smiled and said: "Yo ho, there are still a lot of people who stand out for this little girl! Why don't you cherish your life at a young age, to be honest, there were really some people who were uneven in the past few years, and what happened to those people?"

The "purse" said in a low voice: "It's nothing, the subordinates naturally try their best to leave a whole corpse for them, but it's all rotten, so I have to find a quagmire and throw it away, so as not to expose them to the blue sky and white sun." The tone was so ordinary that it was as natural as eating and sleeping, and the young scribe shuddered when he heard this, and almost threw up.

Lin Jianlan took a step forward, knowing that this rampant and domineering lawless person had no need to say more, so he only pulled out the sword and flashed it in front of the two people, and the two of them suddenly turned blue with fright, "Mom" squatted down with his head in his hands, and reproached the "purse" and said: "What are you doing to eat! If you don't give it to grandpa, I'll go quickly!"

The "purse" didn't say a word, took out a fan from his sleeve and slowly opened it, Yin Yin smiled and rubbed his body and pounced, one hand fan rolled like snowflakes, and the other hand was like a hook, with a sharp wind, Lin Jianlan grabbed the sword away, listening to the crisp sound of "ding", the fan bone was also extremely hard, the wind in his ears came again, and he hurriedly flew away to avoid it, suddenly remembering the confrontation between Lin Hongfeng and Fang Zheng in the courtyard that day, he didn't know anything about martial arts, he only felt that the sound of the two people's blades was endless, and the moves were so fast that they could hardly see clearly. In retrospect, that fight was definitely not Fang Zheng's extreme, while thinking about the method of cracking the "jade burning", he was parrying, and the return move was still extremely fast.

Thinking about the "purse" in front of you, although the move is also ruthless, but it is a lot worse, if it is just parrying it is more than enough, the mind moves, the body in the bamboo forest is unfolded, like a swimming fish, the long sword also seems to have spirituality, a moment on the dozens of moves, the curtain has been covered with large and small cracks, the two of them in the temple around the curtain to fight, but listen to the temple door "bang" With a loud noise, he glanced at it with his peripheral vision, and saw that the door had fallen off and fell straight down a few feet in the hall, and a figure stepped in, it seemed that it was the one who was one step ahead of him, Lin Jianlan exhaled lightly, and felt more relieved, only staring at the "purse" to fight with it, and the "purse" saw that someone was coming, and tried to run to Wu and Cai several times, but Lin Jianlan stopped them one by one, and his expressionless face became a little anxious. Attacked a few times in a row, the fan suddenly turned and flicked, Lin Jianlan suddenly felt a burst of light smoke rushing towards him, his body fell softly, the "purse" side sneered, it was also a body shape, as soon as the fan was closed, a spike popped out of it and stabbed Lin Jianlan closely, and a few people next to him suddenly exclaimed, only to see a rush of blood in mid-air shot out from between the two, splashing far away.

Na Wu and Cai were overjoyed, but they saw Lin Jianlan stabilize his body and fall down, although his clothes were stained with a little red, but he did not show any defeat, and the "purse" was torn off the clothes in the key parts, his face was gray, his mouth was panting again and again, and his claw-like hands were tightly blocked in his chest and still couldn't stop the blood flow, and in an instant a puddle of dark red had accumulated on the ground, Lin Jianlan saw that his face was full of doubts, and he was really resentful and sympathetic to him, and said: "You said that the people you killed are all rotten, and I know that your fan is poisonous." ”

The "purse" snorted in his mouth, and said a few words in an indistinct voice, Fang slowly fell, Lin Jianlan saw that Wu Hong's white face was getting whiter and whiter, and his whole body couldn't help shaking, and when he looked at it again, he almost laughed out loud, the hem of Wu Hong's shirt was already wet, and he was afraid of incontinence, Cai Shaobing was in front of Wu Hong, his face was swollen, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and his nose was bleeding and tears flowed, thinking that he had been beaten up just now, and he was embarrassed. The most puzzling thing is that the young Xiushi is blocking in front of him at this moment, with anger on Yuan Xingjian's face, and he doesn't know whether he is friend or foe.

Lin Jianlan couldn't help but be a little confused, and turned around and said, "Thank you for your righteous action." When he looked up, he was stunned, that person was none other than Yuan Xingjian of Taihu Lake, who was sitting opposite him at the beggars' memorial service.

Yuan Xingjian was also stunned when he saw Lin Jianlan, and felt that the young man opposite looked familiar, and after a while, he suddenly smiled slightly and said, "It turned out to be Lin Shaoxia, it's really a coincidence." He looked back at Wu and Cai, and said, "It's rare to meet these two scum in a spare day, it's really disappointing, this brother, please get out of the way." ”

The young showman's eyebrows showed a fine wrinkle, and he bit his lip tightly and said: "They are rampant and domineering, and there will be local officials to deal with them, that young lady is frightened, and you will not beat them lightly, so just stop it!"

Yuan Xingjian's fists clenched again: "Do you want me to stop here? Such a villain deserves to die even if he dies! If the magistrates were not complicit with them, how could they be so arrogant? After all, do you regret taking care of this idle matter? Don't worry, this murderous infamy is counted on my head Yuan Xingjian alone, and it has nothing to do with you!"

The young man's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Yuan Xingjian for a moment and then bowed his head gloomily and said, "Do you think I am speaking for them or being afraid?" After that, he turned around and reprimanded: "Why don't you go quickly?" The body just stopped in front of the two people, their eyes were firmly fixed on Yuan Xingjian, the two saw that he had blocked his good deeds before, but at this moment he was like a life-saving bodhisattva, although he didn't know what to do, he also knew that he had to rely on this person to survive, and he grabbed the shirt of this young showman, hiding behind him and moving out of the door step by step, although Yuan Xingjian had murderous intentions, but he couldn't guarantee that this young showman was foolproof, so he had to watch the group of dying family members who were beaten by him help the two of them to go away in embarrassment.

When the young man saw them go away, he left the door, walked up to the mother and daughter, and said, "You are frightened, thank you for the rescue." ”

Although Yuan Xingjian was angry, it was not good to look ugly when he saw people worshipping and thanking him, so he had to wave his hand and say, "That's it." Lin Jianlan looked at the mother and daughter carefully at this time, and couldn't help but scream softly: "It turned out to be you." ”

The woman also raised her head at this moment, a pair of apricot kernel eyes under her forehead with eyebrows were smart, a wild chrysanthemum was inserted in her sideburns, and a beautiful mole under the corner of her mouth was even more beautiful, it was the laundry girl who led the horse for Lin Jianlan yesterday, although she also recognized Lin Jianlan, but she didn't say much, and stood silently next to the old woman after giving a salute. When the young man saw that people had come in to watch, he said, "This girl, go home with your mother quickly." ”

The girl glanced at her with big eyes, and asked, "Will we be fine when we go home?" Just now this hero wanted to do the right thing for the sky, why didn't you let it?"

Na Xiucai smiled and said: "The way of heaven has its own heaven, if you have the guts, you can go to the official office to sue them." ”

The girl pouted and said, "Don't you know that there is a smooth saying in Suzhou Mansion?"

She spoke softly, sounding extremely playful and beautiful, everyone laughed when they heard it, but the old woman reprimanded: "Xiaohui, stop talking, don't talk nonsense, rank, the old woman bowed again, thank you for saving me today, and take my leave." After that, he took the girl's hand and slowly walked out of this side hall, but the young Xiushi chased after him, and said a few words to the girl in a low voice, until Xiao Huiwan smiled, nodded, and he ran back again, at this time, Yuan Xingjian's eyes were quite admiring, and said: "Your Excellency is not Yuan Xingjian of Taihu Lake?

Lin Jianlan said in his heart: "If you are invited, it is really rare to ask someone to go directly to drink tea, this show is a little weird." ”

Yuan Xingjian directly refused: "Your Excellency is begging for mercy for Nawu and Cai, naturally we are not all the way, so why be polite, please." After that, he grabbed Lin Jianlan's hand and walked straight out, saying as he walked: "I heard Yun Dao Chang talk about you that day, he has a good impression of you, and when I saw it today, it was really a hero and a young man!"

Lin Jianlan's face turned red and said: "Brother Yuan has praised it, where do I have any ability!" But he frequently looked back, and saw that Xiucai's face was slightly red, and he stood in place in embarrassment, and listened to Yuan Xingjian again: "Lin Shaoxia cares what he does, a snobbish showman, at the beginning, he was still righteous and brave, but after hearing the names of these two people, he changed his mind, and he had the intention to sell a favor, this kind of person I disdain the most!"

Although Lin Jianlan felt that this young Xiushi was not such a small person, he was too lazy to argue for a person he didn't know, he had heard the name "Yuan Xingjian" from countless people, and naturally admired him very much, he had the heart to get acquainted with him when he was in the beggar gang that day, and he was extremely happy to see him at this moment, and he was one of the best figures in the righteous army, and he must have a wide range of faces, or he might find out Lin Longqing's whereabouts.

The two chatted while walking, and the more they talked, the more they fell in love, Yuan Xingjian looked up and saw a boss's "wine" signboard not far away, and said: "It's past noon, why don't we have a drink here!"

Lin Jianlan traveled around by himself, almost never drinking, and when he ate, he was just a cup of light tea to accompany the meal, seeing Yuan Xingjian was full of excitement at this time, he couldn't help but say with a smile on his face: "Don't hide it from Brother Yuan, junior brother, I, I don't know how to drink." ”

Yuan Xingjian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "How can a good man not drink? Come on, come on!" After that, he pulled Lin Jianlan and walked in, found a place by the window, and said loudly: "Shopkeeper, bring two jars of good wine first!" After a while, the clever Xiao Er put one jar on the table with one hand, and placed two porcelain bowls very skillfully, patted off the sealing mud on the altar, and poured the bowls all over again: "Two slow use!"

Lin Jianlan saw that Yuan Xingjian had already picked up the wine bowl, so he had to also pick up the bowl full of wine in front of him, and said, "I will respect Brother Yuan first." The two touched it, Lin Jianlan put the bowl under the tip of his nose and sniffed, the wine was fragrant, and people couldn't help but shout, but he knew in his heart that such a good wine might be very strong, so he had to smile bitterly and take a big sip, and suddenly a burst of spicy food rushed straight to his heart, as if he was looking for an outlet, and then came up from his heart, rushing to the top of his head, only to feel a sudden fever on his head and face, as if his mouth and nose were about to spew fire, and he was secretly complaining that he had drunk such a big sip, but saw that Yuan Xingjian had drunk all the bowls, and smiled to himself: "Why does Lin Shaoxia drink like a woman, taking a sip of it?"

Lin Jianlan really wanted to cry without tears at the moment, so he had to reluctantly smile and say: "Since that's the case, the little brother will do it too!" After that, he poured the wine down as soon as he closed his eyes, and listened to Yuan Xingjian praise "Good", but this taste is really difficult to express, and his eyes seem to be about to flow out of wine, but fortunately, at this moment, Xiao Er has put the appetizers on the table, and hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and hurriedly took a few bites, before he forced the feeling of burning fire.

The two of you have come and gone back and forth a few times, Lin Jianlan already felt that he couldn't bear it, but Yuan Xingjian's jar was empty, and he shouted: "Bring two more jars of wine." Lin Jianlan, who heard this, was distressed, but the shopkeeper hurriedly came over empty-handed and said, "I'm sorry for the two, our store is going to close at the moment!"
