Need for money

Hearing the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the refugees all turned pale with fright, and their legs trembled. They, ordinary people, could fight the soldiers defending the city, but if they were replaced by cavalry, they only needed one charge , can kill more than half of them.

Lin Jingzhi and Aunt Yu arrived afterward, and they were shocked when they heard the voice. Could it be that Wang Meng asked the Zheng family to send a cavalry to help him in order to take him down?

If this is the case, it may be difficult to escape tonight.

Without waiting for the cavalry to enter the city, Aunt Yu suddenly rushed to the side, then kicked a few steps on the wall and climbed up to the roof, "Second Master, come quickly, this maid will pull you up to the roof."

Lin Jingzhi knew how powerful the cavalry was, so he hurried to the front, grabbed the rope thrown by Aunt Yu, and climbed up.

The Los Angeles sergeant who was chasing behind didn't know what happened in front, and once again fought with the refugees, shouting loudly, and not long after, the cavalry team, which shook the ground, finally rushed into the city. But these people obviously didn't expect that there were two factions fighting in the city, and the one who rushed to the front hurriedly pulled the reins and stopped.

Lin Jingzhi climbed on the roof, looked over, and saw that the horses under the cavalry seats were all very handsome, and they were panting heavily. It was obvious that they had been running for a long time. , with a steel knife on his waist, before he could make a move, a murderous aura rushed towards his face.

"Bold, where are you unruly people? How dare you resist the government? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the nine tribes!" The more people came out, they pointed at the refugees with their horses and shouted loudly.

Hearing this voice, Lin Jingzhi's body trembled suddenly, his face showed hope, he heard that the imperial envoy had stopped going south, could it be...

The refugees were stuck in the middle, there was no way out, and there was no way out. Their faces were ashen, and they thought they would die today. At this moment, the courageous Takagi shouted: "The government is not benevolent, and they want to kill those who take care of us. Patriarch of the Lin family, if we don’t resist today, we will starve to death tomorrow!”

"That's right, without the Lin family, we would have nothing to eat. We'd die sooner or later, so we might as well fight the government!" Wang Hai mingled with the crowd, shouting loudly.

The sissy was riding on the horse, her expression changed first, she was about to get angry, but she stopped, and asked suspiciously: "The Lin family? Which Lin family are you talking about?"

"There is only one Lin family in Los Angeles!" Lin Jingzhi suddenly stood up on the roof and replied loudly.

"Oh? There is an old matriarch in the Lin family, who was proclaimed the wife of seven orders by the royal family?" When the sissy said the word royal, she cupped her fists in the direction of the capital.

Lin Jingzhi couldn't suppress his joy, and quickly replied: "That's right, that Mrs. Qiming Gaoming is Lin's grandma."

"Then you are Lin Jingzhi?" The sissy said, and saw Wang Meng leading a group of soldiers outflanking him from the other side. Lin Jingzhi recognized him, then pointed in Wang Meng's direction, and said loudly: "My lord, this dog officer framed you!" Lin is trying to occupy the property of the Lin family, and I ask you to make the decision for me."

"You are so courageous, you dare to occupy the property of Mrs. Qiming's family. In the eyes of you, a dog official, do you still have the majesty of the royal family? Come and take it down for our family!" The sissy shouted angrily when she heard the words A group of cavalry rushed over. Wang Meng didn't know where these cavalry came from. Just as he was about to make the surrounding soldiers resist, he saw a man pull out a gleaming gold badge from his waist, "We are the Habayashi Army of the capital. This time, I am patrolling the place with the imperial envoy, so hurry up and kneel down!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a loud bang in Wang Meng's brain, and he lost consciousness. The Habayashi Army, these cavalry were actually the Habayashi Army who followed the imperial envoy to the south.

Wang Meng's face was pale, and he didn't dare to resist. The sergeants hurriedly cried out and fell to their knees.

"I'm going down to Lin Jingzhi, I've seen you." Lin Jingzhi came down from the roof and came to the sissy in a hurry. The sissy jumped off the horse, tilted her body, and almost fell to the ground. Riding on horseback is hard work, and after three days and three nights, the bones of our family have been shaken."

Hearing that the other party claimed to be our family, Lin Jingzhi was finally sure that this person was the legendary eunuch who served the royal family.

"Don't call me your lord, our family can't afford it due to our disability, you can just call our family father-in-law." The sissy introduced herself first, then waved her hand lightly, signaling the idlers to leave. Afterwards, Aunt Yu was worried at first, but seeing Lin Jingzhi winking at her, she obediently withdrew five feet away.

"That jade plate, you wrote it and asked the servants at home to kneel at the gate of the palace and hand it over?" Eunuch Quan lowered his voice and asked softly.

Lin Jingzhi nodded and responded.

"Okay, that's right, you clean up tonight, and tomorrow you will follow our family to the capital to face the saint!" After saying that, Eunuch Quan pointed to Wang Meng and asked, "What is this person's official position? Where is the guard?"

"My lord, this person is the city guard of Luocheng, named Wang Meng." Lin Jingzhi introduced.

"Oh?" Eunuch Quan rolled his eyes, and looked at Lin Jingzhi again, "You are so courageous, you dare to gather people to fight against the city guard who is in charge of a city, and he has at least three thousand soldiers under his command."

Lin Jingzhi didn't even dare to talk, and then he gave a general account of the Lin family's reclaiming of wasteland. After listening to the father-in-law, he realized why these refugees were desperately protecting the Lin family. After a few more conversations, the two got on the horse and came straight In the lobby, along the way, there were dead bodies everywhere, and blood flowed everywhere. Every time he saw the corpse of a refugee, Lin Jingzhi felt sad. These people all had parents, wives and children!

I made up my mind to bury them with dignity and take good care of their families.

When he came to the lobby to sit down, Eunuch Quan ordered Wang Meng to be escorted up. At this time, Wang Meng was disheveled, covered in mud, and he was in a state of distress. After a while, Wang Meng calmed down and asked, "You, who are you?" How dare you arrest the imperial court official in the street!"

"This father-in-law is the current emperor who personally called the name and followed the imperial envoy to assist in the arrest of corrupt officials. According to the emperor's word of mouth, Mr. Lin, Xuan Lin Jingzhi, will go to Beijing to face the saint!" Wang Meng could no longer maintain his composure, and his whole body went limp. , and collapsed on the ground, the emperor, why did the emperor invite Lin Jingzhi!

Wang Meng is cruel and ruthless, and he never does bad things. Last time, in order to frame the Lin family, he did not hesitate to poison several people to death. He really has no conscience!

Today, in order to take down the Lin family, they started a war again. On the way back, Lin Jingzhi roughly calculated that there were at least more than 300 refugee corpses. If he did not avenge his revenge, how could he deal with their dead souls who had ascended to heaven? ?

Next, he told Quan Gonggong one by one about the evil deeds Wang Meng had done. Pointing to Liu Biao's dead body, he said again: "Grandpa Quan, a few months ago, this person was a strong, fat middle-aged man, but you see, Wang Meng has made him look like no one now! "

"Come here, take this stupid official out to beat twenty big boards, put him in a prison car, and send him to Beijing for trial!" If the imperial envoy arrives in person and has Shang Fang's sword, he can cut off Wang Meng's head immediately, but Eunuch Quan is only ordered to assist , so there is no right to kill the court officials immediately.

How could Lin Jingzhi relieve his hatred by just hitting twenty big boards again, "Quan Gonggong, Wang Meng is extremely greedy, and his family has a lot of money. I heard that after the locust disaster broke out in the north, the treasury was empty. The current emperor is worried..."

Without finishing the words, Eunuch Quan understood what he meant, picked up the gavel, smashed it on the desk, and shouted loudly: "Come on, copy Wang Meng's house for us!"

"Yes!" A group of Yulin soldiers knelt down on one knee and answered, then found a yamen servant and went straight to Wang Meng's mansion.

Although the ransacking of the house would hurt many innocent people, Lin Jingzhi just said in his heart, if you want to blame, blame your bad luck, but you have a relationship with Wang Meng, a dog official.

Not long after the Yulin army retreated, a few refugees broke in suddenly, dragging two half-dead men in their hands. It was Hong Feng in disguise, with Yang Wei and the others.

Seeing these two people, Lin Jingzhi once again told Eunuch Quan about his crimes. After hearing this, Eunuch Quan didn't bother to ask them to put them in prison, and then ransacked the house.

Eunuch Quan is very aware of the lack of money in the current emperor, otherwise he would not have let the imperial envoys strictly arrest corrupt officials, and asked: "Are there still corrupt officials in Luo City? Just tell me, and our family will take them down!"

"Yes!" Lin Jingzhi unceremoniously confessed all of Wang Meng's confidantes. Eunuch Quan is also a cruel and merciless person, so he accepted all the orders, but after dispatching all the people, he frowned, "Mr. Lin, Our family has arrested so many officials in Los Angeles, who should take care of them?"

"This..." Lin Jingzhi also became embarrassed, thought for a long time, and finally said: "I know that there is a person who used to be an upright official, and he was quite capable, but he didn't know how to flatter his superiors, and his official position has already been removed."

Eunuch Quan shook his head, "What should I do then?"

Lin Jingzhi thought for a while, his eyes suddenly rolled, and he said in a low voice, "Grandpa Quan, do you know what is written on the jade plate I submitted?"

"Well, even if you don't know everything, you still know more than half of it." Eunuch Quan replied.

The whole eunuch is originally a popular person around the current emperor, otherwise he would not have been appointed to work with the imperial envoy. Later, the eunuch who went to the imperial envoy's residence to issue the imperial decree passed an oral order to him, and was ordered to tell him about the jade plate. The general content is to ask him to treat Lin Jingzhi preferentially and return to the capital as soon as possible to face the saint.

Seeing that Eunuch Quan knew something about it, Lin Jingzhi stopped hesitating and said, "Eunuch Quan, since you know a little bit, you should understand that Luo City must appoint a trustworthy person to sit in the city, otherwise Wang Meng just left. , Tian Ji will once again send his confidants to take over..."

"Yes, what you said is reasonable. Since this is the case, we will do as you said!" Eunuch Quan immediately issued an order to make Zhang Jia temporarily act as the city guard of Luocheng in white clothes.

After discussing with Lin Jingzhi for a while, Eunuch Quan's eyelids began to fight, and he couldn't hold it anymore. In order to rush to Los Angeles and take him back to Beijing Miansheng as soon as possible, Eunuch Quan had already spent two days. Ye did not close his eyes, Lin Jingzhi saw this, and hurriedly resigned.

The appearance of Eunuch Quan, like a sudden army, took down Wang Meng and others at once. Lin Jingzhi walked out of the lobby, and hugged Aunt Yu tightly in his arms in excitement!

Aunt Yu made a little effort and let him go.

"Yu'er, my husband will go to Beijing with the whole father-in-law early tomorrow morning, so let's go to the other courtyard in the west city now to bid farewell to the old lady...
