Chapter 11: Evenness is righteousness
Lin Longqing had long noticed that the two of them were following him, and he couldn't help himself with the martial arts of the Ding family brothers alone, so he didn't show it on his face, but secretly guarded against it, today these two people dared to come to the door openly, which Lin Longqing didn't expect. After thinking about it for a while, it became clear in my heart that these two people must have found foreign help today, so they said, "What kind of helper did you two ask for? Why can't you hide?"
I only heard a person outside the elegant hall say leisurely: "I didn't hide in the lower hall, but the elegant hall was small, and there were a lot of friends, but I was afraid that there was no place to stay in the lower room, so I had to stay outside the door, although no one outside invited me to drink wine that didn't cost money, but no one sought revenge, but it was also comfortable." β
As soon as the Ding brothers heard this person speak, their faces were relaxed, and they welcomed a person with a smile on their faces on one side. The man had a very clear face, five locks of long hair, a pair of sharp eyes, a plain robe, and a pair of judge's pens inserted in his waist.
Lin Longqing said in his heart: "It's only been three years since I lived in the group, but there are so many more characters on the rivers and lakes, I don't know where this person is sacred?" You must know that the highest level of martial arts is to pick flowers and fly leaves to hurt people, this person only uses ordinary bamboo pens as weapons, and it seems that he no longer relies on sharp weapons, and he cannot be underestimated. Lin Longqing's heart was cold, although his face was silent, he secretly accumulated his strength and was on guard.
The man smiled and said: "Born in Xialu, my debut time is not long, but the most important thing is to pay attention to justice, friends on the rivers and lakes promoted me, and gave me a nickname called 'Green Forest Judge', please ask the seniors with the surname of Gao?"
When the Ding brothers saw him come in, they didn't move, but they talked to Lin Longqing, and they couldn't help but show a slight look of anxiety and unhappiness on their faces, but they had nothing to do, they just stared at Lin Longqing hatefully.
Lin Longqing saw Lu Mengsheng asking for his name, and said: "The old name is not enough for outsiders, since you want to avenge the brothers of the Nading family, why bother asking, just do it!"
Lu Mengsheng said: "I also said that I am the most fair person in Xia, but I came this time, but I did not come to avenge the two of them, if the predecessors really robbed Xinjiazhuang and handed over the robbed silver, I will never be embarrassed by my predecessors." β
Lin Longqing wondered in his heart: "This person seems to be excusing me, no matter what, I didn't want to have more rights and wrongs when I came this time, so I stepped on him once to see what he wanted." Then he said: "The owner of this Xinjiazhuang was originally a villain, rampant and domineering in the fish and meat township, I don't know which good man robbed the Zhuangzi, the old man admired it, but it was not the old man." But he said in his heart: "Lin Longqing is not 'old', so I can't be considered a lie." β
Lu Mengsheng said: "This Ding family brother insisted that you robbed the village and injured his two brothers. β
Speaking of this, the Ding brothers' faces were slightly red, that night Lin Longqing sneaked into the hospital, they noticed it at the first time, and they just thought that if it was an ordinary hairy thief, they would be sent away, who knew that the screams outside, the two took weapons and jumped into the courtyard, reflecting the moonlight, they saw that the other party was an old man, his sleeves were lowered, and a long sword as bright as the moonlight stretched out in his sleevesγ After handing it over, he knew that the other party should not be underestimated, Ding Shui had no impression of the martial arts master in his mind several times, and the more he fought in his heart, the more frightened he became. Lin Longqing saw that the two of them knew in their hearts: their brother was hiding here to protect the courtyard was just an excuse, and eighty percent of them were hiding here to practice. But they didn't hurt them, but there was a huge difference in strength, Lin Longqing saw that their newly practiced moves were almost done, flew and slashed a few swords, cutting off the trouser belt of the two so as not to chase after him, and left Xinjiazhuang.
It doesn't matter if he left, but the two Ding Lei Ding Shui brothers suffered a lot of humiliation, they came to Xinjiazhuang, relying on being a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, and they didn't pay attention to other martial artists, they were very arrogant, and they were arrogant, and they were angry and pointed out, this time Lin Longqing cut off his trouser belt a few times, and the other martial artists laughed loudly next to him, and some said: "It turns out that the so-called 'famous master' is just a few moments!" Some said: "What ability do I have, it turns out that I have the ability to take off my pants!" The two old men took off their pants and no one looked at them, friends want to see it, I'll be the east tonight, let's go to Huayue Tower to see the little girls!" The two of them were only ashamed and annoyed, how could they have suffered this kind of humiliation since their debut, and they couldn't wait to break Lin Longqing's body into pieces, and they didn't say anything at the moment, and they went back to the room to clean up and chased in the direction of Lin Longqing's out. The owner of the Naxin family lost the silver, and saw that the two old men who had been eating and drinking for several years were leaving, so he was very unhappy in his heart, and stopped a few words, Ding Lei was hot, and smashed a hole in the courtyard wall with a cane, so frightened that the owner of the village sat on the ground with a butt, and no longer dared to speak, but secretly shouted bad luck in his heart.
The two chased halfway, and met this green forest judge Lu Mengsheng stopped in the middle of the road, and was about to make a move, but saw this Lu Mengsheng shook his hand again and again, and kept saying that the case of Xinjiazhuang is now known to the rivers and lakes, and said that he was willing to seek justice for the two of them. Although the two of them had never seen Lu Mengsheng make a move, they felt that his martial arts should not be weak, and there was one more strong help, so they were naturally overjoyed, and walked all the way to this Qiyun Tower.
Lin Longqing said: "Friend Lu only asked the two of them what they passed by that night, and then they would know. β
The Ding brothers were insulted by Lin Longqing that night, and said indignantly: "Why don't you remember?" Your swordsmanship is powerful, and you knocked other martial artists to the ground in a few strokes, we fought with you for dozens of rounds, and we were almost hit hard by your swordsmanship, and we couldn't fight you, and I was also my brother's enemy, hum!"
Lin Longqing shook his head and said: "Alas, the old man is also from a martial arts background, but please come and take a look at Friend Lu, does the old man have the ability to hurt the two of them with swordsmanship?" Lu Mengsheng walked forward, but saw Lin Longqing open the sleeves of his robe, and his two thumbs were cut off. Lin Longqing said again: "The old man trusts the hero as a person, and he will show you, but you can't tell others, if you pass it on to my enemies, the old man knows this life, hehe!" Lu Meng said: "But please rest assured, the seniors will never reveal half a word!" turned his head and looked at each other, and said to the Ding family brothers: "You two said that he is powerful in swordsmanship?"
The Ding family brothers didn't know why he had this question, and said in surprise: "Yes?!"
Lu Mengsheng suddenly laughed and said: "I understand, you two should go back to find someone else, but this old man is definitely not the one who robbed the village that night! You two people have great swordsmanship, don't you know that this senior only has eight fingers, and you are also a first-class master, if you can't beat an old man who can't hold a sword without a thumb, I'm afraid no one in the rivers and lakes will believe it, and you have chased the wrong person for thousands of miles to chase the enemy!" Although these words showed that he no longer helped the Ding family brothers seek revenge against Lin Longqing, and touted the Ding family brothers as first-class masters, they were really smooth on all sides, so Lu Mengsheng turned back to Lin Longqing and said, "Disturb the seniors!"
When the brothers of the Ding family saw Lu Mengsheng leaving, they knew in their hearts that the person who robbed the village was Lin Longqing, but they couldn't work hard, so they had to hate and say: "Okay, there is you! Let's see on the road!"
The three people in the hall heard the sound of "tuk tuk" gradually moving away, and they couldn't help but put down a boulder in their hearts. looked at Lin Longqing again, but saw him staring at his palms without saying a word. Lu Man got up and said, "The younger generation is ordered by his mother, and he has other important things to do, so he can't accompany his seniors, so he will leave!" Lin Longqing raised his head and said: "It's okay, if you see your mother again, you don't need to mention old age, you are new to the rivers and lakes, you must no longer have arrogance, you must know that there are people on people, beware of causing trouble." Lu Man said: "Thank you for the teachings of the seniors, the younger generations must keep in mind, the brothers of the Ding family have failed to seek revenge, although they are leaving now, I am afraid they will still follow the seniors like maggots attached to the bones, and the seniors should also be more careful and take care!" The three of them bowed to Lin Longqing again, and paid more for the wine and the damaged door and chair to the shopkeeper before leaving.
Lin Longqing was disturbed by the wine, so he went downstairs and slowly walked towards the yard he rented, only to feel annoyed. If you go for a few more days, you can go to the Kuangyi Gang General Hall, how to enter the hall to find Lin Jianlan and bring him out safely, in case he sees his sister again, he has no clue in his heart. was thinking wildly, but saw a person standing on the road in front of him, the plain robe was slightly moving, and a pair of bamboo pens around his waist were as jade as jade, which was the "Green Forest Judge" Lu Mengsheng just now.
Lu Mengsheng saw Lin Longqing walking slowly from the other side of the road, he only smiled slightly, did not speak, and did not move forward, until Lin Longqing walked in front of him before making a gesture.
Lin Longqing didn't know that Lu Mengsheng was coming for himself, he took great care of himself in Qiyun Tower just now, but he didn't know what the purpose was, whether he was an enemy or a friend still needed to be distinguished, so he pretended to be surprised and said: "It turned out to be Lu Mengsheng's friend!
Lu Mengsheng said: "I came here for my seniors!", and said with a smile: "My predecessors did a good show, and when they got cheap, they left on their own! Don't you even think that there is a share of this play today?"
Lin Longqing's heart jumped, but his face was still confused, and he said: "Friend Lu, I am confused when I hear this! I hate that babbling stuff since I was a child, how can I act?"
Lu Mengsheng still said with a smile on his face: "Others may have been deceived by the hands of their predecessors, are they so confused in the next? Today, the brothers of the Ding family have suffered a secret loss, but they also have to deal with the middle, the seniors are 'stupid', but they don't have to pretend to be in the bottom!"
Lin Longqing said, "Oh?"
The corners of Lu Mengsheng's mouth raised slightly, and said: "According to what I think, although the seniors are missing a pair of thumbs, there are many ways to fix the sword on the wrist, and the sleeves are hanging down and covering. Even though the Ding brothers are just second-rate characters in the martial arts, they don't believe that they have traveled thousands of miles with the wrong person. The one who robbed the village and stole the silver is convinced that it must be the senior!"
Lin Longqing said in his heart: "I knew that this person's behavior in Qiyun Tower was too bizarre, and he stopped him here at this time, so he would have bad intentions." This time I returned to the Central Plains, I came to find Lin Jianlan, after all, it is not appropriate to cause too much trouble, and it is better not to do it. Then he bowed his hand in a low voice: "The old man is also grateful to Friend Lu for his help, otherwise it would not be easy to get rid of the entanglement of these two dogs." How can it be regarded as an old man who owes a favor to Friend Lu? If there is a chance in the future, the old man will definitely have to pay it back!"
Lu Mengsheng waved his hand and said: "Ming people don't say dark words, they really want to repay it, so why wait until tomorrow? Then the Xuzhou Xin family does all kinds of evil, robbing the village and stealing silver, how can it be that everyone does it alone." It's just that I don't know how to spend the 70,000 or 80,000 yuan that my predecessors have robbed?"
Lin Longqing said in his heart: "What kind of green forest judge is my Dao? It turns out that I also came for silver!"
Lin Longqing saw that Lu Mengsheng was unhurried, a pair of shining eyes were just staring at him, and he smiled and said: "That night was indeed the silver of the old decay, Mr. Judge asked how the silver was spent, but the old man forgot." β
Lu Mengsheng couldn't hear that there was a faint sarcasm in Lin Longqing's voice, but he still smiled: "Since it is both a senior and a subordinate affection, then please ask the seniors to understand the last resort of being a junior." The name of the 'Green Forest Judge' sounds good, but for the sake of this 'Gong' word, I don't know how many people have been put in, and now I even have a weapon, so I have to sharpen a pair of bamboo pens to fill the number, and now I can't even eat a decent meal!"
Lin Longqing said: "The predecessors planted trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, Friend Lu originally wanted to choose a ready-made cheap, so wishful thinking!"
Lu Mengsheng said leisurely: "I won't embarrass my predecessors in the future, and if you want to come to seventy or eighty thousand, thirty thousand is not too much?"
Lin Longqing said in his heart: "This Lu Mengsheng seems to be older than me, but I have never heard of his name before, he has made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes in three years, he should also be a character, why is his character so unbearable, it seems to be a black and black business? Although I don't want to cause trouble, if I add another Lu Mengsheng entanglement, it will be beneficial and harmless to my future actions." He endured it until now, and finally said angrily: "It's really a lion who opens his mouth, and he talks about 30,000 slowly, and he doesn't even have thirty taels on his body!"
Lu Mengsheng said: "Ah, this is an official way! People come and go, it's not good for the old man to be too angry!" Although he was unmoved, he also took out a pair of judge's pens on his waist, and quickly said "offended" and flew forward, the tip of the pen moved lightly, and pointed towards Lin Longqing's arms and shoulders. Lin Longqing saw that he was coming very quickly, so he immediately retreated with his left elbow, twisted his body to avoid it, and grabbed the bamboo pen in Lu Mengsheng's hand with his right hand.
