A knife in love

Chapter 417

Among the heroes, Deng Yao and Lin Yilang are the ones Situ Qiao hates the most.Along the way, Lin Yilang and Deng Yao sang together, laughed and cursed at Situ Qiao, repeatedly humiliating him.Just now Deng Yao made repeated miscalculations and lost his vigor, but Lin Yilang insisted on bossing Situ Qiao around without restraining himself.Therefore, Situ Qiao also showed no mercy to him, sarcastically retorting with a stick in his words.

Although Lin Yilang is not as calm as Liu Yong, Chu Danyang, and Xu Chenghe, he is not a reckless person, otherwise he would not be able to sit as the head of the Songshan School.Only 15 years ago, a big man in the capital suddenly ordered Lin Yilang to lead the disciples of the Songshan School to ambush more than a dozen Japanese pirate masters who had sneaked into the Central Plains in Jiaxing, Zhejiang.As a result, the two sides fought a battle, and Lin Yilang was seriously injured. Fortunately, the beggar gang helped him, and then he met Deng Yao.

At that time, Lin Yilang took over as the head of the Songshan School not long ago, and had never fought Japanese pirates. He thought that the Songshan School was one of the top ten martial arts schools in the Central Plains.So when he went down the mountain, he only brought a dozen or so disciples of his own sect with him, but he didn't let the first generation disciples of the Songshan School and their masters accompany him.

Lin Yilang's move is naturally selfish.Since he took over as the head of the Songshan School, several brothers in the school were not convinced by his knowledge of martial arts.Lin Yilang also knew that it would be difficult to obey with his own martial arts alone, so he was always frightened.It is reasonable to say that his position as the head of the family is unstable, so he should not leave Songshan for a long journey, but the reason for this can be traced back to more than 40 years ago.

More than 40 years ago, Lin Yilang's father rescued a scholar who participated in the provincial examination.At that time, the scholar ran out of money and was so hungry that he fell in front of the Lin's house.The Lin family was quite wealthy, but Lin Yilang's father was also a benevolent person, so he rescued the scholar into his home, invited a doctor to treat the scholar, and gave him money when he left.

The Lin family has done countless good deeds, and helping this scholar is just a trivial matter, and Lin Yilang's father didn't take this matter to heart, and soon forgot about it completely.At that time, Lin Yilang was young, and he was studying with his husband at home. He originally thought about gaining fame in the future and honoring his ancestors.Unexpectedly, disasters would happen, an official returning to his hometown after leaving his official position took a fancy to a piece of land in the Lin family and wanted to buy it as a ancestral grave.That piece of land is a treasure land of geomantic omen, and the Lin family had long planned to move the ancestral grave, so naturally they couldn't agree to the official's request.The official then secretly spent a large sum of money on management, bought the magistrate and the third class of police officers, charged Lin Yilang's father with "colluding with bandits and plotting crimes", and was arrested and tortured in various ways.Within three days, there were rumors that Master Lin had died in prison.

After Master Lin was taken away, some rascals from the village took the opportunity to come and make trouble.Mrs. Lin was frightened and frightened, and she got a sudden illness.After hearing the news that Master Lin was tortured to death in prison, she vomited blood and died within a few days.Lin Yilang was the only one left in the Lin family, and those family servants with bad intentions had no scruples and plundered all the property of the Lin family.Some relatives of the Lin family also took advantage of the fire and occupied the Lin family's house, and Lin Yilang was also kicked out of the house.

At that time, Lin Yilang was only a five or six-year-old boy. After being kicked out of the house, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and he was suffering from hunger and cold.Although most of the neighbors in the village have benefited from Mr. Lin, it is only icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Seeing that the Lin family offended the government, and the family was ruined, they all changed their faces and watched Lin Yilang struggling in the ice and snow, but no one was there. Willing to help.

Seeing that Lin Yilang was about to die of freezing and starvation, the head of Songshan sent several disciples to Luoyang to handle errands. On the way home, they happened to meet Lin Yilang who was frozen and fainted by the roadside.Everyone hurriedly rescued him, put on clothes for him, and asked him where he came from.Although Lin Yilang is only a child, he has experienced great changes in the past ten days, and he already knows that people's hearts are sinister.Thinking that people of the same clan in the Lin family wished for their own death sooner, they could occupy Master Lin's property with more peace of mind.The longer I stay here, the more dangerous I will be.Therefore, I only said that my parents were both dead, and I had no one to rely on. I came here by begging all the way, and because I was cold and hungry, I passed out on the side of the road.

The head of the Songshan School saw that Lin Yilang was pitiful but clever, a talent to be recreated, so he took him back to Songshan and accepted him as his apprentice.Lin Yilang is dedicated to revenge, and when he is practicing martial arts, he works harder than others.Because of this, his martial arts progressed very quickly. Although he was the last to start, his martial arts was advancing rapidly, surpassing many senior brothers.

When he arrived, he felt that his martial arts had improved greatly, so he wanted to go home for revenge.It's just that he didn't want to get involved with the Songshan School, so he told the leader that he had been away from home for more than ten years, and he wanted to go home to worship his parents' graves to comfort the spirits of his ancestors.The head of the sect showed pity for him, so he naturally had no objection.After Lin Yilang tidied up, he bid farewell to his master and fellow seniors, and went straight down the mountain.

The Lin family lived in Xiuwu, Henan, but it was not far from Mount Song.After Lin Yilang went down the mountain, he went northward all the way.After crossing the Yellow River and walking for another two days, we entered Xiuwu County.He knew that the official's family had a great career, and the mansion supported many guards and martial artists.Although these people are not first-class players in the arena, they are just too numerous to be underestimated.If you broke in during the day, once you were trapped by these people, it would not be easy to get out.What's more, although I am bent on revenge, I don't want to leave a handle for the government. If I don't say that I will die in the rivers and lakes, it will even implicate the Songshan faction.So he made a plan to go outside the old house of the Lin family first, and then sneak into the official's house at night, and kill him to avenge his father and mother.

Unexpectedly, when he went to the front of the old house of the Lin family and took a look, he couldn't help being surprised.I saw that Lin's house had been completely renovated, and it was even more magnificent than it was back then.There is even a five-couplet gate at the gate, with mahogany couplets more than a foot wide hanging on both sides of the gate.On the left side is written "Xiangyang Mendi Spring is always here", and on the right side is "There are more than enough celebrations for good people".Lin Yilang felt grief and indignation in his heart, he thought to himself that those shameless tribesmen had taken over his house, and even put up such a couplet, bragging about "good people", it is really shameless.

He was extremely annoyed, and hated the clansman who occupied the house even more than that official.Therefore, he made up his mind to teach the clansmen a lesson first, and then get rid of the official.

After Lin Yilang made up his mind, he was about to find a place to rest and wait for the opportunity to teach these villains a lesson.But he saw a few people walking out of the Lin house, and the leader was his father.He was shocked, rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully.Although more than ten years have passed, his father's beard and hair are all white, but his face has not changed greatly. Who is his father?Shocked, he was about to step forward to recognize him, but then he thought, he came here for revenge, if he recognized his father at this time, the official who was killed by himself would definitely implicate his father.So he had no choice but to stand aside, watching his father walk in front of him.

At that time, Lin Yilang had been away from home for more than ten years, and he was no longer the child he used to be, so he didn't have to worry about being recognized by others.He confidently and boldly walked around the Lin's house, only to find that the Lin's house was much larger than before, and there were several more two-story buildings from the outside of the courtyard wall.These buildings are decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, which are extremely luxurious.The more Lin Yilang looked at it, the more frightened he became. He thought to himself that it was rumored in the village that his father had died in prison, and that's why his mother died of fright. Why did she appear in front of him alive today?Moreover, the old house not only has not decayed, but also has a new look. Look at my father's appearance, although his beard and hair are white, his face is full of red.This thing is really strange.

He found an uninhabited forest and waited there until it was dark before sneaking back to the old house of the Lin family.With his martial arts, jumping into the courtyard wall is a breeze.It's just that after entering the yard, there are pavilions everywhere, rockery, pools, flowers and plants all over the place.Although the Lin family was originally a wealthy family, they could only be regarded as wealthy landowners in the countryside at best. The house and yard now are magnificent and elegant.The further Lin Yilang walked, the more frightened he became. It was not until he found Master Lin and the father and son recognized each other that he knew the reason for such a drastic change.

More than ten years ago, the scholar was sponsored by Master Lin to participate in the provincial examination, and he was awarded the Jinshi with the first name.Later, he won the top three in both the general examination and the palace examination, was appointed by the emperor to the Imperial Academy, and soon served as the censor.Two years later, he was sent to Shandong as a magistrate for one term, with outstanding achievements, and was soon transferred to governor of Sichuan.When he took office, he happened to pass by Henan, so he remembered the help Master Lin had given him back then, so he made a detour to practice martial arts.It's just that after arriving at Master Lin's house, things have changed.The governor was shocked, and hurriedly sent his entourage to inquire, only then did he know that Master Lin was framed and thrown into prison.Originally, a decisive decision was planned, but the case was reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but it was suppressed because of "no factual evidence".The official who became an official wanted to kill Mr. Lin to avoid future troubles, but he is no longer in office, and the officialdom is the most particular about "people walk away with tea", although they sent their family members to the capital four times with letters to get through For the joint, I also gave 600 taels of silver, but in the end there was no result.Later, the county magistrate of Xiuwu County did not perform well in the evaluation and was fined to leave his post as a substitute. The new magistrate was a student of the official's political opponent.

According to the opinions of the sons of the retired official, Yinzi was supposed to be accused of "rebellion" against Mr. Lin, and he had to be killed.The official has been in office for decades, but he knows that he has no official position now, but his political opponent is still in office.This county magistrate is his protégé, if he is not careful, it will be the disaster of ransacking his family and destroying his family.Therefore, to restrain the descendants, there must be no more troubles.But the new county magistrate is a fool. After taking office, he only knows how to spend time and money, and ignores the cases accumulated by the previous magistrate unless he spends money.The Lin family was ruined, and only Mr. Lin was left in prison, so who would spend money to save him?Therefore, in these years, no one has intervened in Mr. Lin's case, and no one has reversed his case, so he has been kept in prison.

After the governor learned of this, he was furious.The governor of Henan happened to be the same age as him, and he had a very good friendship.He sent a letter, and the governor of Henan sent a note to the procuratorate, who immediately sent people to Xiuwu to interrogate Master Lin's case.This case was originally framed out of thin air, and it didn't take a few days to find out clearly.The copy was sent to the Yamen of the Governor of Henan Province, and the governor was also a political opponent of the Zhishi official. After getting the copy, he felt like he had found a treasure. Articulation and greatness.A few days later, the Ministry of Punishment issued an official document to arrest the official who had become an official and go to Beijing.The official knew something was wrong, so he swallowed gold and died.After the sons were sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they were sentenced to exile, and the family property was returned to the Lin family.
