When he arrived at the ground, he saw that there were very few disciples of the Beggar Gang, and it seemed that there were not as many disciples who intercepted him and Lei Kan to Chang'an that day.

Lin Jianlan wondered in his heart, walked up slowly, looked around, and found a disciple holding a five-bell long stick, who was already the highest-ranking disciple among these people, and went up and hugged his fist and said, "This big brother, don't you know if Zhu Protector is here?"

The disciple was about to return the salute and reply, when he saw Lin Jianlan's face and looked at it for a while, he suddenly became surprised, and said with a wary face: "Aren't you Lin Jianlan of the Kuangyi Gang?

Lin Jianlan thought about it and knew that this disciple probably also participated in the fight that morning, so he recognized himself, and secretly said in his heart, "The king is good, the little ghost is difficult", so he bowed down and said: "Please don't blame this big brother for offending that day, I met with Zhu Protector today to make amends, and secondly, I asked Zhu Protector for help with something important." ”

The disciple was still vigilant, and some disciples around him gradually surrounded him, and the disciple said, "Protector Zhu is not here, please come back another day." ”

Lin Jianlan was immediately angry when he heard this, and said forcibly: "Could it be that the eldest brother is still blaming the events of the day? I am here to apologize, please pass on the word to Zhu Protector." ”

The disciple said, "I said no, I didn't know, don't you understand?"

Lin Jianlan said angrily: "There is no malice in the subordinates, there are 100,000 urgent things that ask Zhu Protector for help, if you don't see it, he has the final say, how can you stop it indiscriminately? If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for offending!"

The disciple was also very violent, and he used the long stick as a chest to stop it, and suddenly made a crisp sound, and said: "I saw your kung fu that day, I'm afraid we are not your opponents together, Zhu Protector and the senior brothers will hand over this branch hall to me to protect when they leave, if you want to make trouble here, I will fight for my life to stop you!"

As soon as he said this, Lin Jianlan was stunned and said, "Could it be that Zhu Protector is really not there?"

The disciple said angrily, "Which one lied to you?"

Lin Jianlan hurriedly said, "Where did Zhu Protector go?"

The disciple said, "He went to ......" suddenly took a step back, and said vigilantly: "Why should I tell you?"

Lin Jianlan said helplessly: "Then when will he come back?"

The disciple shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

Lin Jianlan saw that he refused to reveal the slightest information, and a number of low-level disciples behind him gathered more and more, looking at himself as if he was looking at a monster, and there were people behind him whispering, and said with a wry smile: "In that case, I'll wait here for him to come back." After that, he turned around and walked to an old tree opposite the rudder, sitting cross-legged, at this time the sun was rising, the sun was dazzling, the old tree had already died, only the dead branches and old vines like hand claws remained, where could I cover what daylight, for a moment Lin Jianlan already felt warm all over his body, and the sun was a little uncomfortable, and the ground air under him was cold, straight up. In a moment, the internal force in his body actually ran on his own, and Lin Jianlan secretly said in his heart: "What Yin Yin said is really good. He only closed his eyes and guided slowly, gradually up and down the general cold and warm, suitable to, such as entering the realm of forgetting things.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the boss's sun was shining in the sky, and the shadow of the tree had deviated a lot, Lin Jianlan was so anxious that he was even more hungry and uncomfortable, and wanted to eat, but he was afraid that Zhu Chenghong would miss the opportunity when he came back at this time, so he had to get up and move a little and sit on the ground again. Seeing that the Wuling disciple was in the same place, looking at his eyes were still full of vigilance, Lin Jianlan shook his head, closed his eyes again and meditated and practiced, and it was another one to follow the past, and slowly the yang energy in the body gradually burned to maintain the body from being cold, Lin Jianlan looked over again, and was surprised, the shadow of the tree was slanting eastward, and the sky was close to evening, so he hurriedly stood up, but almost fell down, hurriedly held on to the dead tree next to him, settled his mind, looked at the door of the rudder, and saw that the disciple had never left a step, this day's eyes seemed to grow on Lin Jianlan's body, and at this moment, seeing that Lin Jianlan got up a little shaky, Fang hesitated and ran over。

Lin Jianlan rubbed his forehead and said, "Is it possible for Protector Zhu to come back today?"

The disciple said in a sullen voice: "Don't wait any longer, Zhu Protector is not as close as from West Street to East Street, and the place where he went will not be able to come back for ten days and half a month." ”

When Lin Jianlan heard this, his body shook and almost fell to the ground, this day was a waste, so he had to smile bitterly, arch his hand to the disciple and leave.

Rubbing his stomach, he was already hungry after not eating for a day, as soon as Lin Jianlan arrived in the downtown area, he immediately picked a restaurant, ordered a meal, gobbled it up, ate too quickly and almost choked, and drank a big sip of tea before swallowing it, but he heard a crisp sound of "pop" in the hall, and hurriedly looked back, but it was an ancient man who set up a scene in this hotel.

Lin Jianlan hadn't heard it for many years, so he moved his chair with great interest, and listened to the man while eating and listening: "Ladies and gentlemen, what I am talking about today is 'Governor Xie visited Huangcun three times, and King Tian Bawang died in one dynasty'." ”

Someone immediately shouted below, the man took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said slowly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this place in Huangcun, presumably everyone is no stranger, Suzhou to the south, but dozens of miles, it is also a place that must pass between Suzhou and Hangzhou, a good piece of land, but it was stirred up by a person, everyone, who is this? It is the first rich Toda six pigs in the township, how does he call this name? Here is a saying, his father gave birth to five sons before, none of them lived, and he took a homonym when he gave birth, is a' Retain'. There was a burst of laughter below.

The ancient one said: "Think about it, it's just such a single seedling, and the baby is going to die, and what you want is given, and it is really lawless to raise." As the saying goes, the rich are not benevolent, this Tian Liuzhu married the girl of the tax official in the town, and recognized the official family of the Cai family as his godfather, so he ran rampant in the township, bullying men and women, which family offended him, basically there was no way to live!"

Lin Jianlan looked around, saw that the number of listeners was gradually increasing, and the door was full of people, and he secretly said in his heart: "This ancient talk is also interesting, and it depends on what he is talking about." ”

“...... The Liu family is also a wealthy family, knowing that the Tian family is powerful and not easy to offend, they get along very carefully on weekdays. Some guest officers said in their hearts, so that the two families get along in harmony, it's not bad, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, then you are wrong, if you want to say that this person is a hundred, the shape of **, Tian Liuzhu is a corner who turns his face and doesn't recognize people, he didn't do it before, because the Liu family didn't have anything he wanted. The bad thing about this is that the old lady of the Liu family is dead, and the eldest daughter of his family comes back to mourn, which is going to die. ”

The gentleman who spoke ancient drank water again and moistened his throat and said: "The woman has been married for five or six years, her husband's family is in another place, far away from her mother's house, and she has not come back all these years. ”

Lin Jianlan was already full at the moment, and couldn't help but smile when he heard it, and said secretly, the next thing is nothing more than robbing the people's daughters, and when he met the Qing official Shen Xue who was wronged, he had to take revenge, so he beckoned to the little two, let him refill the tea, and sip slowly, but after hearing it, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, only lying on the table, his whole body was trembling with a secret smile, and the people next to him were all filled with righteous indignation, seeing Lin Jianlan showing a strange smile here, he was quite dissatisfied, and he couldn't help but show a bored look at him。

It turned out that the ancient speaker was not talking about someone else, but Xie Zhongju, and things were generally not bad, but he had never seen Xie Zhongju himself, but he had just heard rumors, and then made it up with his own imagination, and was stunned to describe Xie Zhongju as "eight feet tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, three locks of thick hair, not angry and self-assured", and said Su Wenwen like Zhou Cang, when the two of them spoke, they must have tightened their throats and said in a rough voice, so Lin Jianlan couldn't help laughing.

Looking back, seeing that the people had ended, they walked out in twos, twos, threes, threes, and from time to time mentioning Xie Zhongju's name, showing a yearning on his face, Lin Jianlan was quite happy for Xie Zhongju in his heart, and said secretly: "The matter of his elimination of harm for the people along the way in Suzhou has spread to the streets and alleys of Hangzhou, and even those who talk about the ancients are talking about his jokes, which shows how popular he is, and in less than half a month, it will be completed, which can be regarded as a blessing for the people of Jiangnan." He was a little worried, he had clearly told Xie Zhongju that he could no longer do micro-service, but he didn't listen, fortunately there was Yuan Xingjian by his side, otherwise it would be really dangerous, thinking of this, he secretly made up his mind and said: "If he comes to Hangzhou, I can definitely not let him be so rash again." ”

Jingxin walked back to the residence, the shopkeeper had already cleaned the house again, the teapot was still hot, it could be seen that the tea had just been brewed, and the bed had been made, Lin Jianlan was tired for a day, and suddenly threw himself on the bed and stretched his limbs. Thinking that Zhu Protector didn't know where he had gone, and that he didn't know how long it would take to come back, he couldn't help but become anxious again, and said secretly: "Listening to that disciple, I'm afraid he went far away, but he just saw that the disciples of Hangzhou were so few, and the one who started was only a Wuling disciple, could it be that the others went out with Zhu Protector? What is so important that you want to take all the elites of the rudder with you?"

Lin Jianlan sighed and turned over, looking at the top of the bed in a daze, the affairs of the beggar gang are taken care of by the people of the beggar gang, but now there are still several days to wait for Yuan Xingjian and the others, are they idle these days? It seems that there are many things waiting to be done, but he has no clue.

Suddenly, I heard a voice coming from outside the door, and I heard the footsteps like the shopkeeper's, but I heard Cao Yinyin's voice and said, "Is Lin Gongzi back?" I thought that she landed very slightly, but was covered by the sound of the shopkeeper's walking, and heard the shopkeeper say: "Lin Gongzi went out early in the morning, and he entered the house as soon as he came back just now, there is no movement, help the master wait a while, I will call." ”

Lin Jianlan was lying on the bed, I didn't know whether to get out of bed and open the door to greet him, and I didn't know what to say when I saw him, the shopkeeper had already whispered "Lin Gongzi" a few times outside, and the sound was gradually getting louder in the back, Lin Jianlan thought about it and straightened up, and was about to respond, listening to Cao Yinyin say: "Presumably Lin Gongzi is too tired and has already slept, don't wake him up, I'll come back another day, be careful." ”

Listening to the footsteps and going away, Lin Jianlan had mixed feelings in his heart, he thought that Cao Yinyin's visit last night was just a casual talk, but he didn't expect her to really come again, such a feeling like a cloud in a fog that can't be seen clearly, but it makes people's hearts empty and extremely uncomfortable. He sat in a daze for a moment, Fang picked up the sword, put the things neatly at the head of the bed, and walked downstairs, the shopkeeper saw him suddenly come out in good spirits, and said in surprise: "Lin Gongzi ...... just now"

Lin Jianlan said: "I'm tired of the shopkeeper helping me find a good horse, I want to go out overnight." ”

The shopkeeper didn't expect that he dared to close the door to the helper, nodded while talking and went out, and explained a few words to a guy, less than a pillar of incense, the guy led the horse to stand at the door, Lin Jianlan said: "Shopkeeper, my things are still in the room, if the room can help me keep the best, if not, please keep it for me, thank you!" After that, he took the reins and turned over on the horse, and the shopkeeper just opened his mouth to ask, "When will Lin Gongzi come back", and saw that Lin Jianlan had already "driven" With a whip and left, the horse Shun had already run out of Zhangyuan, and after a while it was gone, the shopkeeper came back to his senses and said repeatedly: "Go and inform the helper!"

One afternoon two days later, Lin Jianlan had already arrived at the door of a small courtyard in Yangzhou, and when he saw that the door was not locked, he couldn't help but beat his heart a little, and gently pushed the door open, but there was silence inside.

This is the courtyard where Lin Longqing used to live temporarily that day, and he came here to stay here for a while before leaving Kuangyi Gang with Lin Jianlan, and he didn't sell this property when he left, but just locked it casually, and it was a residence that only he and Lin Jianlan knew.

Lin Jianlan only felt that his mouth was dry, his heart was beating wildly, and he pushed the door open, but it was also a cover-up, obviously I don't know when someone came, the ground was already covered with dust, but the teapot and teacup on the table looked like there was no dust, Lin Jianlan walked over and wiped it lightly with his hand, his fingers were still clean, and he opened the teapot lid, and there was still half a pot of tea inside, Lin Jianlan didn't hesitate anymore, and ran inside quickly, but his face turned pale, and his lips trembled and stood in place.

There are countless cloth belts scattered on the ground, there are blood stains on them, it is obvious that the wound has been bandaged and replaced, there are still a few bottles of wound medicine on the table, the medicine powder is sporadically spilled, the color is dark yellow, it is an extremely powerful hemostatic agent, Lin Jianlan slowly approached, and gently picked up one, the blood stains on it were not dry, and there was some dampness, his hand was slowly clenched, his head was lowered, it was the first time in his life that he regretted it like this, regret why he didn't come here in time, and missed Lin Longqing's trace.

The gust of wind that suddenly blew outside the door swayed the door, and the cloth ribbon on the ground was wrapped in one place with the wind, but it couldn't float farther, and was pushed to the corner of the wall by the wind and trembled gently, Lin Jianlan's eyes followed the blood cloth, but he saw a white corner of the envelope lying there.

Picked it up, it was a very familiar font, and the appearance of the envelope also seemed familiar, very elegant, with the words "Lin Longqing Taiqi" written on it, Mosha took a moment, and a little silver powder was stained on his hand.

Lin Jianlan gently held the envelope in his arms, walked out of the door, raised his eyes to the west, and looked at the sunset, reflecting the courtyard wall in gold.
