Need for money

Hearing that Wang Meng was going to bring witnesses for the assassination case, Lin Jingzhi was slightly taken aback. Except for Hong Feng, the other people who participated in the attack last time were all hidden guards of the Lin family. They are all among the refugees now. Where did Wang Meng get the witnesses? ?

As Wang Meng's voice fell to the ground, a young man walked into the lobby. Lin Jingyi looked at him and laughed dumbfounded. It turned out that the witness Wang Meng mentioned was actually Zhang Shaojie.

"Lin Jingzhi, do you recognize this person?" Wang Meng pointed to Zhang Shaojie and asked.

Lin Jingzhi originally wanted to say that he didn't recognize him, but when he rolled his eyes, he changed his words again, "Of course I do. Isn't this the one who was recently promoted to the vice president of the six sects, Mr. Zhang Shaojie?"

Zhang Shaojie's complexion changed slightly, and he gave him a fierce look. Aunt Yu was standing beside Lin Jingzhi at the moment, her pretty face with complicated expression suddenly turned cold.

"Hmph, besides being the deputy head arrester of the six sects, Mr. Zhang also has another identity, he is the junior who led the assassination officer that day!" Wang Meng's words sparked discussion among the refugees at the entrance of the lobby.

How could they have imagined that court officials would be involved with assassins.

"Since this is the case, Mr. Wang should take this person down, torture him severely, and force him to find out the whereabouts of his senior brother." Lin Jingzhi replied very cleverly.

"Lin Jingzhi, do you still have to quibble now? I tell you that the head arresters of the six gates are no more than the usual government servants. They have a special status and can handle complicated matters or encounter danger. Even if the assassin is his senior brother, he hasn't violated Dagan's law!"

After Wang Meng finished speaking, Lin Jingzhi sneered and said, "Master Wang, what you mean is that Master Zhang can also act as a guest witness who was planted and framed?"

"Pfft..." When the refugees at the door heard this sentence, many of them laughed happily and pointed at Zhang Shaojie.

Unable to bear the ridicule of the refugees, Zhang Shaojie turned his handsome face livid with anger, Wang Meng suddenly smashed the ground, and shouted: "I already knew that you were dissatisfied, come here, and bring witnesses!"

Still have witnesses?

Lin Jingzhi was taken aback for a moment, and then his face changed drastically. He saw Guan Zhendong, one of the three refugee leaders selected by the Lin family a few days ago, suddenly stepped out and knelt down in the middle of the lobby, "Caomin Guan Zhendong, have you seen Qingtian?" sir."

"Lin Jingzhi, do you recognize this person?" The corners of Wang Meng's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smug smile.

Lin Jingzhi glanced at Guan Zhendong coldly, and replied, "There are nearly 20 refugees fleeing famine around Los Angeles, how can Lin recognize all of them?"

Guan Zhendong, who used to be Lizheng in his hometown, was exquisite and well-mannered, and he was very good at winning the favor of officials. He had helped local officials do a lot of evil things, fished the common people, and then the locust plague broke out, and the villagers had no way to survive. Enraged, the crowd rushed to his house and robbed Wan Guan's wealth, food and clothing.

In desperation, he also led his wife and children to flee the famine, but on the way, his wife and son were all starved to death, because the people who robbed him of food were ordinary people, so he only hated these refugees without any sympathy , It's just that he usually disguises it very well, so others can't see it.

Later, he was elected as the leader of the refugees, and on the first day he came to Los Angeles, he took the initiative to show his favor to Wang Meng, acting as a secret agent and tipping him off.

"Second Master Lin, a few days ago you told me to listen to that Hong Feng chivalrous man. Why, you forgot so soon?" Guan Zhendong turned his head and said with narrowed eyes.

"Guan Zhendong, you treacherous bastard, what kind of benefits did that dog official give you!"

"I'm blind, but I still treated him as my brother two days ago."

"This damn villain, doesn't he know that once the Lin family falls, the 10,000+ refugees will have no way out?" No one on the refugee side thought that Guan Zhendong was such a guy, and they all started to shout and curse.

In fact, the matter has come to this point, Lin Jingzhi and Wang Meng have nothing to talk about, arguing in the classroom is nothing more than a formality.

Lin Jingzhi made careful calculations on the way. There were more than [-] sergeants on the government's side, and the number of government servants included was less than [-]. He couldn't beat him, but he was [-]% sure if he wanted to get out of the way.

The only thing that needs to be guarded against is the dozen or so martial arts masters. If these people rush forward and kill him alone, there will be great danger.

"Lin Jingzhi, at this point, what else do you have to say?" Wang Meng took Lin Jingzhi's handle and said with a proud face, thinking that he was superior in chess.

Lin Jingzhi took a small step back, and snorted coldly, "It's not a day or two since Mr. Wang wanted to occupy the property of the Lin family. What's the difference between Lin pleading guilty and not pleading guilty?"

"I am deeply favored by the emperor, and I am loyal to the Daqian Dynasty. How can I do the evil thing of usurping other people's property? Lin Jingzhi, you don't want to justify your lyrics and swear at people. Now that there are all witnesses and material evidence, don't you hurry up." Plead guilty?"

As soon as Wang Meng finished speaking, Guan Zhendong interjected again, "Second Master Lin, don't stir up the refugees to rebel! Otherwise, with the order of Lord Wang, more than [-] soldiers will surround us, and there will definitely be blood flowing here!"

As he said that, Guan Zhendong stood up suddenly, and looked towards the entrance of the lobby, "Listen everyone, Mr. Wang said that as long as you don't make trouble with the Lin family, the government will open a shed to help you porridge, and I promise you won't starve."

To say that Guan Zhendong's eloquence is really good, he can be sensational, and exaggerated the number of sergeants, but fortunately, Lin Jingzhi was prepared and told the refugees that the government would open a shed to help the porridge when dealing with the Lin family. , but at most it will only prepare food for four or five days. Once the Lin family falls, the government will no longer care about their lives.

So the refugee side was only quiet for a while, and Takagi and Wang Hai took the lead in shouting and cursing again, this time with dirty words, directly bringing out the eighteen generations of Guan Zhendong's ancestors, both male and female.

"Lin Jingzhi, do you really want to stir up the refugees to fight against the government and plot rebellion?" Seeing that Guan Zhendong's face turned red when he was scolded by the refugees, Wang Meng slammed the gavel and shouted sharply.

"Hmph!" At this point, Lin Jingzhi was no longer polite, and retorted: "Wang Meng, don't think that you are wearing an official robe, which means you are an official. You and Zhizhou Tianji are full of evil, and you have done all kinds of bad things. I am afraid that the imperial envoys will confiscate your home when they visit here, so they have been gathering forces in secret for a long time, wanting to plot a rebellion, and their intentions are clearly revealed, it is not the Lin family who want to rebel, but you, the dog official, who want to rebel!"

"Bold, how dare you slander this official, come here, and take them all!" After Wang Meng said, he suddenly got up and hid behind a group of yamen servants. Then he saw two side doors of the lobby, and a large group of people rushed in Sergeants with spears in their hands and dozens of guards of the Lin family rushed forward without hesitation when they saw this, catching each other and tearing them apart.

At this time, whoever is timid and soft-handed will become a dead soul under the knife!

There was a fight here, Lin Jingzhi exited the lobby under the protection of Aunt Yu, Zhang Shaojie kept staring at this side, three swords killed three guards, and then rushed out.

When they came to the street and walked out with the refugees, they heard a mess of footsteps in the distance, and then, more than a thousand soldiers with spears and shields blocked both ends of the street.

Although he knew that Wang Meng had set up a trap in secret, Lin Jingzhi, who experienced war for the first time, was still sweating nervously on his forehead.

"Take your life!" On the two roofs not far from Lin Jingzhi, a dozen figures suddenly jumped down. They were the dozen or so people from Jianghu brought by Zhang Shaojie from Jiancheng. With a hidden weapon, dozens of refugees couldn't dodge in time. After being shot, they screamed out.

Aunt Yu has been following Lin Jingzhi's side, waving a sharp sword in her hand, knocking away the hidden weapons one by one, then she wiped her waist with her left hand, and there were three more steel needles. The famous Jianghu people couldn't dodge in time, were shot in the chest and died on the spot.

These martial artists are highly skilled and fierce, how could the refugees be their opponents, and dozens of people fell down in a short while.

Lin Jingzhi's eyes were wide open, but he was powerless to help. At this moment, Hong Feng and others, who were hidden in the crowd, finally fought with these Jianghu people.

"Lin Jingzhi, the north gate has been opened, move closer here" A woman's voice came from a distance, Lin Jingzhi was overjoyed when he heard the words, he looked up and saw Tu Jiaonu standing on a roof, rushing towards the while waving.

Gathering up his courage, Lin Jingzhi quickly yelled, "Everyone, work hard and rush towards the north gate, the gate over there has already been opened!"

This sound was loud and clear to the ears of the refugees. These refugees no longer cared about the sergeants on the other side of the street, and rushed to the north. There were only more than [-] soldiers in the north. The pressure increased and they gradually couldn't support them. .

About the time when the two sides killed a stick of incense, more than a thousand refugees finally broke through the blockade of the sergeants in the north, but because the sergeants were holding long guns in their hands, they paid a high price. Without the sergeants blocking the front, the refugees felt as if they had burst a dike. Like a flood, it rushed towards the north gate.

Wang Meng ran out from the lobby a long time ago. Seeing that Lin Jingzhi was still alive, he hurriedly shouted: "Chasing, chasing after me, you must take Lin Jingzhi down. You must see people in life, and corpses in death!"

The rest of the sergeants didn't dare to neglect after hearing the words, and hurriedly chased after him.

Wang Meng made arrangements early today. Nearly 2000 people ambushed around the lobby, and the rest guarded the four city gates. Now that they heard that the north gate was opened, they jumped quickly. Once Lin Jingzhi escaped from the city, , and joined the refugees on the other side of the wasteland, he would never have a chance to kill this person again.

The refugees are all ordinary people. Although they are chosen to be bold, they have never killed anyone, and they are all frightened. Whether they are killed or killed, they will speak out Shout out.

The refugees rushing forward were not far from the north city gate, but they suddenly heard the sound of rolling horseshoes outside the city gate, which made the earth tremble...

Cavalry, did the government transfer cavalry from Jiancheng?
