Chapter 20 is a big deal
Lin Fengsheng and others had seen it with their own eyes, and Lin Fengsheng had also sent Guo Xian'er to secretly monitor the affairs of the officials of the Weichu Mansion in collecting money and grain in the city and hoarding them in the government, but in order to intercept and kill the thieves and reinforcements carrying heavy firearms, they had to be interrupted.
At this time, Lin Fengsheng heard Tang Tianyin's words, and couldn't help but feel moved, and said secretly: "Could it be that this batch of looted grain is prepared for the Mongolian army." At the beginning, Lu Meng and Wang Sishan never refused to reveal the location of the food and salary of the righteous army, and Li Baohua was forced by the coercion and temptation of Wang Wu and other lackeys, so he had to set up a name and collect money and food from the people. Presumably, he hurriedly said to the three "executioners": "Suspend the execution!" The three immediately took a few steps back and stood with their knives in their hands.
It would have been easy to kill these three felons, but if the unaccounted for money and grain fell into the hands of the Mongol army, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, it was decided to keep the lives of the three people for the time being, and then behead them after the seizure of this amount of money and food.
A hint of joy flashed on Tang Tianyin's face, and he said: "If Brother Lin can ask about the whereabouts of this batch of money and grain from these people, it will really be a great merit, first, it can avoid falling into the hands of foreign enemies, and secondly, it can also be used for his own use, which can be described as a good thing to kill two birds with one stone." ”
Chen Fengyi and Guo Xian'er knew Tang Tianyin, knew that his temperament was similar to Lin Fengsheng, and the two had a very good relationship, but they didn't feel anything. The rest of the people couldn't help but be displeased, and the people couldn't help but curse in their hearts, thinking: "What kind of thing are you, you are also worthy of stopping General Yun Lu from beheading corrupt officials, and you actually plead for these few people who killed a thousand knives, it is really indistinguishable from right and wrong, and it is extremely unreasonable." If it weren't for the fact that he and Lin Fengsheng seemed to be old acquaintances, I was afraid that they would have already spoken viciously to each other and spit flying.
Mei Ruoxue got up and said, "Who are you, quickly retreat, don't hinder our execution." Don't go away, be careful that I'm not polite to you!"
Guo Xian'er had a good impression of Tang Tianyin, and hurriedly grabbed Mei Ruoxue and said: "This son is a good friend of the senior brother, since he came to intercede, he must have his own reasons." Whether to kill or stay, let the senior brother decide for himself, let's not intervene. ”
Mei Ruoxue said: "What's wrong with good friends, these three traitors must be killed, look at it, my cousin will definitely not bend the law for personal gain." ”
Lin Fengsheng didn't answer Tang Tianyin's words, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "Temporarily send these three people back to death row, and they will be beheaded another day!"
Everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar when they heard it, most of the people complained for a while and then left one after another, and the more radical ones even scolded Lin Fengsheng, saying that the world was as black as a crow, and he was wrong. Lin Fengsheng looked at the bustling people and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Mei Ruoxue, Mo Zhenshi and others were also puzzled, I don't know why he suddenly changed his mind, but he knew in his heart that he was a person, so he didn't say anything. A team of pro-soldiers put the three felons in a prison car and escorted them back to the government jail for detention.
At that moment, Tang Tianyin said: "Uncle Jia has a good relationship with this Lord Li, and he must know some clues, and his old man may be able to ask about the whereabouts of this batch of money and grain from Lord Li's mouth." Ask Brother Lin to move to the next place in the house. ”
When Mei Ruoxue heard him call his cousin brothers, the hostility in her heart also disappeared, and she said with a smile: "There are many of us, is your uncle's family big enough to take care of food?"
Tang Tianyin said: "Uncle Jia has been doing business in Weichu for many years, and he has accumulated a little family business, if the heroes of the righteous army do not dislike it, please come to the house as a guest together, and Uncle Jia will be a landlord in the next place." ”
Lin Fengsheng was anxious to find out the whereabouts of the large amount of money and grain that Li Baohua had collected privately, so he was happy to push the boat and said, "Since Brother Tang is so hospitable, then we are welcome." At the moment, he ordered the brigade to be stationed outside the government and strictly guard the three felons; Mo Zhishi, Xiting Daochang, Mei Ruoxue, Duan Zhengyu, Guo Xian'er and others went to be guests together, Zhong Zixuan didn't like to deal with outsiders, so he took Chen Fengyi and Miaole back to the Zhong family's thatched cottage to recuperate.
The group walked through the city and arrived at a large mansion in the east of the city, Tang Tianyin said: "Brother Lin, this is the uncle's house, dilapidated and shabby, I hope you don't laugh." Come in. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to greet the guest.
Mo Zhen said secretly: "This is a flamboyant tongue, but such a luxurious mansion is said to be simple and dilapidated, are you still blind to me?"
I saw that there were nine steps in front of the gate, two vermilion lacquer doors were open, the doors were full of copper nails the size of bowls, and four middle-aged men dressed as family members hung their heads and stood on both sides, and said in unison: "Everyone, please!" There was a hint of fierceness in his demeanor.
Lin Fengsheng and Tang Tianyin took the lead, and everyone entered the gate. When he arrived in the courtyard, an old man about the age of a sixtieth birthday greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "Distinguished guests come to the cold house, and the old man has lost his welcome, and he is rude. ”
Tang Tianyin said to the old man: "Uncle, nephew is here to introduce you, this son is the famous leader of the Righteous Army, Lin Gongzi, and these are the heroes of the Righteous Army. ”
The old man hurriedly saluted when he heard this: "Old man, see the alliance leader, please come into the inner hall to serve tea." He nodded respectfully.
Lin Fengsheng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said politely: "Uncle Tang doesn't have to be polite, just disturb." ”
The old man was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "The alliance leader is polite, polite, please, please." ”
Everyone went into the hall and sat down, and the maid brought tea. Mei Ruoxue looked around the hall and couldn't help but smack her tongue secretly, only to see that the hall was extremely spacious and luxuriously furnished, and said secretly: "It turns out that this Tang Gongzi's uncle is still a rich man, and he would have called everyone in the righteous army to have a big meal when he knew it." Only a few people have come now, but some of them can't come. ”
Tang Tianyin asked Lin Fengsheng to do it in the middle of the guest seat, and he sat on the main seat, and the old man had to sit on the top. Lin Fengsheng felt quite strange when he saw this, it stands to reason that the elders should sit in the main seat, not to mention that this is the old man's home. After thinking about it, he said secretly: "I think it is Brother Tang's uncle who loves him very much and takes care of his face in front of outsiders. ”
Tang Tianyin said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite here, please take care of everything, please use tea, please use tea." He turned his head to the old man and said, "Lin Gongzi and others are here, let the back kitchen set up a banquet." ”
The old man even claimed that it was, got up to leave, and Tang Tianyin also got up and said, "Ah, why am I sitting here, patronizing and talking to Brother Lin, this is rude." Uncle, you stay with the guests, or nephew. He took a few steps as he spoke.
The old man didn't even say anything, and turned around and walked out of the hall. Tang Tianyin sat down in the place where the old man was sitting, and said, "When does Brother Lin plan to return to the court? Brother Lin has been coming to Dali for a while, and it is time to go back, if it is convenient, can you take me with you?"
Lin Fengsheng said: "You and I just happened to be on the way, so let's go together." When he found Li Baohua's private collection of money and food, he set off. ”
Tang Tianyin was very happy and said with a smile: "Now that there is no one on the road to protect you, you have to walk with thousands of heroes of the righteous army, so it will be foolproof." ”
Lin Fengsheng suddenly remembered that he came here to drink his cousin's wedding wine, and he was busy with military affairs and could not come to congratulate him at that time, so he was a little reluctant in his heart, and asked, "Brother Tang, why don't you see Brother Ling." The younger brother just congratulated him in person. ”
Tang Tianyin was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Brother Loss still remembers that I can get the leader of the Righteous Army Alliance and these many heroes and heroes to congratulate me personally, but I am afraid that only my brother will be the first brother, so thank you very much." He said loudly outside the hall door: "Come on, go and invite the young master!"
