Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2623 Welcome
"Set me tea in the gazebo."

The speaker was Li Guangyuan, about fifty years old, wearing a black gauze Dongpo scarf, wearing a cloud and water pattern silk Taoist robe, with a clear beard under his chin.One can tell at a glance that it is a powerful local gentry.

The boy servants set up a folding-leg table and a whole tea set in the gazebo.Stew boiling water on the stove of the mottled bamboo rack.Someone brought a wicker chair from Qiongzhou.

Li Guangyuan sat down on the rattan chair and looked at the river.This gazebo was built on the wharf of his private house for the distinguished guests.Shelter from wind and rain.

The distinguished guest he is going to greet today is not very prominent, but the arrival of this person is related to the future fortune of his family. This cannot help but he is anxious in his heart, thinking about his own step over and over again Get right or wrong.

Li Guangyuan's family is the largest grain household in Lijiawei, and is also the head of the Li family in this village and several nearby villages. In addition to Lijiawei's property, he also has a trading shop in the neighboring market and Dongguan County. Although he is not a famous figure, he can be considered a powerful force in this area.

The boy servant ordered tea for him, and Li Guangyuan slowly sipped the teacup—he was not thirsty, and he didn't have any special appreciation for tea. boring.

He has to wait for someone's name, and he is not an outsider.His family lived in Wuxian Village, and he was born with big arms and round waists. He loved being a knight-errant since he was a child, and he traveled to various places in Guangfu and gained a lot of knowledge.Luo and Ying are eager to be righteous, and their family has riches. The heroes of the flood and drought in Guangfu have to give a face.His wife's family is one of Master Li's family that did not produce five clothes.

When the Kun bandits went upstream and attacked Sanliang, Wuxian Village was one of the joint guarantees.Luo Heying is also the nephew of Luo Tianqiu's family in Sanliang City.When Luo Tianqiu was the deputy head of the Dongguan County Training Bureau, he recommended this nephew to the county for the responsibility of "carrying courage on his behalf".

This recommendation allowed Luo and Ying to escape their lives.When Sanliang was besieged, he was working in the county. He heard that the thieves were besieging Sanliang, and hurried back with hundreds of regiments of bravery to rescue him. However, the xiangyong assembled in the county were not his family's soldiers. He heard that the thieves were powerful and very Fear of war, no one is willing to go back to die.It wasn't until they heard that the Kun bandits had withdrawn their troops that Luo Heying rushed back to Sanliang with his family, only to see devastation everywhere.When we arrived at Luo's house, the inside had already been looted.In the entire Sanliang City, there are not one out of ten big gentry households.I found the Taoist monk who maintained order in the city and inquired, only to find out that most of the town's lords were killed or committed suicide, and many of their family members also committed suicide, and the rest were taken away by the thieves, and their whereabouts are unknown.

Finally, the monks have collected the corpses of these slain big households and their relatives, and temporarily stopped their spirits in the temple.Luo Heying cried loudly in front of the coffins, vowing revenge.

However, the Kun thief has disappeared. Fortunately, Li Cunfa, one of the two directors of the Rehabilitation Bureau, is his wife's brother. From his mouth, Luo Heying probably knew all kinds of things before and after the fall of Sanliang.

Hearing that the clan uncle was captured, he would rather die than submit, and cursed at the thief.In the end, he was hanged by the Kun thief on the threshing floor, and Luo Heying burst into tears.Hearing about Sai Qingxia again, she immediately said: "It's not that this girl is a strange woman! She is lowly, but she behaves like a chivalrous woman, just like Nie Yinniang and Hong Xian. Where is her corpse?"

"It has been collected and buried." Li Cunfa said.

"Okay, okay, and burn incense and paper for me." After that, Luo Heying gave Li Cunfa a tael of silver, and asked about all the scenes after the fall of Sanliang, so that he could settle accounts in the autumn.

However, banditry activities were frequent in this area. Luo Heying stayed in Sanliang for less than a day, and the servants who were on patrol outside called the police several times.Luo Heying had no choice but to go back to Wuxian Village first, hide them and make further calculations.

I don't want to stay in the village for a long time, because Wuxian is the joint guarantee of Sanliang, and the army of thieves came to Wuxian Village again.Rumors abounded in the village for a while, saying that Master Luo had injured Director Kun Bandit's life when he was taking out Yong, and that Bandit Kun was coming to slaughter the village to vent his anger.The foolish people in the village, encouraged by a few scumbags, rushed into the Lin's house and wanted to ask for the old and young of the Lin family to sacrifice to the thief.Luo's wife was already seven months pregnant at that time, she was frightened and had a miscarriage, and in the end, one dead body and two lives were lost.The entire Luo family was taken captive to Qiongzhou after the Kun bandits arrived, and the title deeds of the family's real estate were sold cheaply to an evil gentry named Yuan Laoyuan.Luo Heying secretly reburied his wife in the Lin family's ancestral grave, opened another cellar to hide money, and then went to Foshan.

At that time, there were many places in Foshan, and he had money in his hand, so he could get by in Foshan.From time to time, he inquired about the news of the Kun bandits. He originally wanted to wait for the Kun bandits to retreat, to report to the government office, to return to Wuxian and Sanliang, to punish those scumbags and fools, and to take back their property.After finally waiting for the thief to retreat, before he could go back to "counterattack and reckon", he waited for the servant sent by "Yuan Laoyuan" to collect the rent.

This "Yuan Laoyuan" is said to be a local gentry, but no one has ever seen him, but his servants are all vicious. Twice a year in summer and autumn, they come to the five sages to collect the "burden" like a government levy.Needless to say, the money obtained was given to the thieves.The Kun thief wantonly collected "reasonable burdens" here. He either submitted a post, or through his teacher-friend relationship, he kept advising the officials in charge, and he refused to accept that everything was lost.The officials of the Guangfu were either collaborating with the Kun bandits, or when they saw the documents to sue Kun, they shrank and avoided seeing them.On the contrary, the case involving "anti-Kun" has been handled like a spark.He sent to arrest the servant who was a "passionate gangster", but he was released as soon as he was delivered to the county. Instead, the two servants he sent were beaten forty boards each before they were released.

On the land of Ming Dynasty, the Kun bandits not only blatantly robbed and sold his land, but also blatantly sent people to collect "burdens".Luo Heying cleft his crown and canthus.From then on, I no longer believed in the court and the government, and only thought of revenge for myself.

He didn't go back to the five sages either, he just lived in seclusion in the Foshan area, wandering around from time to time, recruiting scholars with different abilities, taking the opportunity to raise dead soldiers, and prepared to assassinate a few real men in order to avenge the destruction of the family.

This stay lasted for several years, during which he got acquainted with many capable people and strangers who were active in Foshan, including members of the Eight Immortals Association.

The Eight Immortals Association is a branch of the Tianmen Daoist Association. Luo Heying didn't bother to pay attention to such a low-level society, but after contacting the Eight Immortals Association, he felt that it was a force that could be used.

Since the "gentleman" of the imperial court is unreliable, it has to rely on the "little man".Luo Heying joined the club, and with his talents, soon after joining the club, he climbed up to be the third leader of the Eight Immortals Club.It was at this time that the Kun bandits made a comeback—this time they not only besieged Guangzhou, but looted the four townships.Instead, it directly won Guangzhou and established the founding system of the Monkey King.

There used to be a loyalty camp in Foshan, and there were many big clans. Luo Heying originally thought there would be a war, but he never thought that the local gentry would surrender to the bandits.The Loyalty Battalion has also transformed into the "National Army" of the Australians.

When Luo Heying was at a loss, he met a hero at a Dharma meeting held by the Eight Immortals Association.Since then, he has devoted himself to the "great cause of anti-Qi".

It's just that Foshan has become a "demonstration county", and a group of young "little thieves" have come.Luo Heying and members of the Eight Immortals Society couldn't stay in the county, so they had to split up and flee to Nanhai, Xiangshan, Sanshui and other places.Hibernate and bide your time.

Ten days ago, he received a letter from Li Guangyuan.Master Li has made up his mind to join "Daye".Immediately, he asked a few good men to bring his name cards to go first, and he waited for several days, gathered the other two companions, and then went straight to Lijiawei by boat.

When I got off the boat, I was greeted by the servants of the Li family.All the way to the tea pavilion, Li Guangyuan greeted him immediately, and the two parties greeted each other.

"Brother Lin is still in good spirits." Li Guangyuan hugged his wrists and saluted, "Who are the two behind Brother Lin?"

"This is my clan brother, Luo Hetu, who came out of Sanliang City together with me." Luo Heying said, pointing to a young man with a long bag on his back behind him.

Neither he nor Luo Hetu participated in the battle of Sanliang City.However, in recent years, Luo Heying has been bragging about his "past events" in Sanliang City: what led Zhuang Yong to kill him so bloody that the gangsters could not enter Sanliang. Liang, the world was shaken for a while, the sun and the moon were dark, he fought a bloody road in the army of thousands of horses before he escaped.

Fortunately, Li Cunfa, the person in charge of Sanliang at the moment, is his wife's younger brother, and he knows most of Sanliang's offensive and defensive affairs, which also gave Luo Heying the capital to brag.

"Sure enough, it is a heroic tiger, majestic and majestic."

Luo Heying turned to another monk wearing a monk's robe and introduced in a low voice: "This is Master Walrus. He was originally from Lingao County, Qiongzhou Prefecture. He beat up the bandits when their iron boat landed that day. Later, I traveled to Guangfu, and I can be said to be the No. 1 master of the Ming Dynasty. This time, I wanted to go to Beijing to meet the emperor and give the details of the Kun thief in order to prepare for the strategy. I will stay with Mr. for a few days, and let me talk about it first. The scrutiny of the thief."

Gou Xunli has been wandering for many years, and he has cultivated a face that is not bad.Hearing Luo Heying blowing his beard like this, his face didn't change and his heart didn't beat. He just pretended to be an outsider and bowed to Li Guangyuan with his arms folded.

After hearing the story, Li Guangyuan couldn't help but take a few more glances.Seeing that this person is thin and thin, and his movements are sonorous, he can be seen as a scene figure who has experienced wind and rain.This so-called "monk" is most likely a "wild fox Zen" without a certificate, presumably he became a monk in order to avoid the bandits.Immediately returned the courtesy and said: "It turns out that it is Master Walrus. Please stay in the village for a few more days. This time, the robbers are coming so fiercely. What is the intention of this time? Please enlighten me." Then he said to everyone, "Please go home first. , Mr. Li has already prepared a banquet to clean up the dust for everyone."
