Chapter 72: Peak Loop
Hearing that Lin Xian'er was injured by Xiang Wentian, Bai Lang was very shocked. The three bandit brothers all said that they had entertained a white-eyed wolf and were indignant about it. Xiang Wentian is a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, and it is very tricky to get rid of him. And now that he has taken refuge in Humen, Bai Lang's heart is even worse.
I don't know what means Guan Dadong has, so he poured ecstasy soup into Xiang Wentian. A second-rate sect that recruits first-class masters. The prestige of Humen is now in full swing in the city of Suzhou, so much so that the county commander Li Xiangru wantonly connived at Xiang Wentian, who destroyed the city's appearance yesterday.
Early in the morning, the people of Suzhou complained that the road surface of Chengxi Avenue was so badly damaged that it was impossible for horse-drawn carriages or pedestrians to pass. Li Xiangru was ready to send workers to repair the road surface and solve the road traffic problem.
As for the wages for building the road, Humen pretended to be nothing. Li Xiangru thought that he was unlucky, and had to step up his efforts to loot the people's fat and ointment to fill the hole in road construction. In this way, the money for road construction comes from the taxes paid by the people. So some people protested to the government: who is the saboteur, who will pay the tax.
The spearhead of the problem is directed at Wentian, but he and Humen do not have a labor-management relationship, so Humen has no reason to fund the repair of the road.
When some people sued Xiang Wentian in court for the crime of damaging public facilities, the defendant did not say a word to Wentian. Li Xian ordered the dismissal of the plaintiff's lawsuit, and the reason he gave was ambiguous, but it was not deniable: thunder is a natural phenomenon, and that is God's will. People can't manipulate lightning, let alone compare with God, so it's nonsense that the defendant is destroying the road to Wentian.
With the sentence of "retreat", Li Xiangru made a decision, and this political turmoil also came to an end. The people are in the dark, in fact, the chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes know that yesterday's thunder was not an accidental phenomenon, but a deliberate act by a master.
Although Xiang Wentian was acquitted, it hurt the people. Li Xiangru was lying on his seat, thinking about how to force the people to pay their taxes to get some oil and water. The officials suddenly came with news that was neither good nor bad for them: Guo Yitian took his disciples to prevent them from collecting taxes, and the road repair fee was fully borne by Longmen.
This news is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Lee Sang-ru. Although he has been in office for less than half a year, Li Xiangru's ability to absorb money in his own pockets is much worse than that of his predecessor Song Yuming. Therefore, in the hearts of the people, although Li Xiangru is not a money that will please everyone, he is a qualified county magistrate.
Looking at the workers who were building roads on the streets west of the city, most of them came from Longmen, and asked himself: Am I really wrong to blame Longmen?
The workers who built the road were all energetic and did not discriminate against Xiang Wentian. And in command among the workers was Guo Yitian, whose gestures exuded an indescribable charm. That is tolerance regardless of previous suspicions, and it is also a kindness to repay grievances with virtue.
By noon, the workers were going to lunch. And Guo Yitian was also very generous, regardless of his previous suspicions, he greeted: "Where are you going to Senior Brother Xiang?" Xiang Wentian's heart suddenly softened, and he turned ruthless: "Who wants you to pretend to do good deeds, it's just to cover up your previous heinous crimes." Listen to me, I will never forget this account! When I investigate clearly, I will definitely have a head-to-head duel with your dragon gate. ”
After speaking, Xiang Wentian shook his hand away, and Guo Yitian stayed where he was and sighed.
In Longmen, according to the spies hurriedly reported: The bloody case of Wang Xiaolong's family on October 13, which shocked Hangzhou, was not committed by people in Longmen. Bai Lang was stunned in his heart, and confirmed again: "Is the news true?" The spy said righteously: "The kid dares to vouch for his life, the news is true!"
Yihe's business blossomed everywhere in the Song Kingdom, and Bai Lang, as the supreme commander of Longmen, was very strict with his subordinates. The heart lamp abbot of Hanshan Temple once wrote an inscription for this: harmony generates wealth. The four words of freedom have become the values of Bailang, and the spirit of upward and downward effect has inspired this new team to work together for a better life and achieve common prosperity.
Now Bai Lang felt a lot more at ease, since the bloody case was not committed by someone in Longmen, there was no need for Xiang Wentian to go against him. Although Bai Lang was still worried in his heart, in the face of first-class masters, he could only sigh.
As soon as the bandits were entrusted by the master of the door, they took a supplement and went to the forest house. Passing through Chengxi Road, workers are still rushing to repair the road surface. Guo Yitian commanded: The entire project should be completed in one day. As soon as the bandits stepped on the stone road that was being repaired, they advanced in a serpentine shape. When Guo Yitian asked him where he was going. The bandits didn't dare to say it directly, and they didn't want to deceive the deputy master, so they said that they were going to do something.
When I came to Lin Zhai, I heard Chen's stepmother say that someone had come to see her, Lin Xian'er said that no one was seen except Guo Yitian, and the bandit had to hand the tonic to Chen's stepmother. Chen's stepmother has received the favor of Bai Lang, and in her heart Bai Lang is a respected and good person, not only for the benefit of one party, but also for the benefit of the person.
"I'll take the things, you can go back...... By the way, I'll tell you the doorman, Xian'er is still young and not very sensible, but I will try my best to enlighten her. Stepmother Chen said goodbye.
The next day, Lin Xian'er felt that her physical condition had improved, so she wanted to go out for a walk. She remembered that Guo Yitian had instructed: Don't go to the street alone if you have nothing to do, so as not to encounter accidents again.
This made Lin Xian'er a little scared, but it was too boring to stay at home. Lin Xian'er wants to revisit the old place, go to Tianwang Mountain, and see the mountains and flowing water.
Since the fall of Yihezhai, there have been no robbers on Tianwang Mountain. Lin Xian'er felt that it was very quiet there, and no one should disturb it.
However, he was still targeted on the way, and he was the masked man.
Lin Xian'er met the masked man, and her first reaction was to meet the bad guy: "You...... What do you want to do?"
The masked man was very rampant: "If you don't do anything, I just want to kidnap you!"
In the face of the wicked man, before Lin Xian'er could make a move, the masked man flew up and lit her acupoint. When the masked man wanted to take Lin Xian'er away, Xiang Wentian flew over.
"Let her go! or I'm welcome. Xiang Wentian threatened. Lin Xian'er didn't know why Xiang Wentian wanted to save her, but her conscience found out.
The masked man knew that the other party was a first-class master, and maybe in less than five moves, he would be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth. Thirty-six plans, go for the upper plan.
Xiang Wentian didn't chase after him, so he unlocked Lin Xian'er's acupoint: "You go, it's not safe here." ”
Lin Xian'er knew that he had always had something to do with Longmen, her eyebrows wrinkled, and her intuition told her that she could use Xiang Wentian to get rid of Bai Lang, so that no one would disturb her and Guo Yitian's love: "If you want to ask if the bloody case of Wang Xiaolong's family in 10.13 was committed by someone in Longmen, I can tell you everything...... If you don't want to get to the bottom of the matter, I'm leaving. ”
"Wait! This is a big deal, please tell me everything you know. Xiang Wentian's eyes lit up, and he wanted to investigate the matter.
"This bloody case was caused by Bai Lang! Because he is very narrow-minded, and what he can't get will be destroyed. Lin Xian'er's words changed, "If I hadn't heard it with my own ears outside the door, I wouldn't have believed that Bai Lang was actually this kind of person." Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said, you can think about it slowly. ”
