My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 31 Teasing Ximen Qing

Wang Lin toasted the shy Meng Yulou with a glass of wine in public, and then let Meng Yulou back down.

Today's arrangement is quite normal for him.

Isn't it normal for a newlywed appreciation banquet?But it is not so easy for Meng Yulou, after all, the etiquette is strict.

Wang Lin changed his voice and said suddenly: "In addition, Xiaosheng would like to ask everyone to help Xiaosheng seek justice. Several shops in my family in this county were suddenly brought in by a senior official named Ximen Qing in this county yesterday. It was smashed, and the goods in the store were looted..."

boom!
The audience suddenly whispered.

Almost everyone realized that this was not just a thank you banquet.

boom!
Ximen Qing couldn't help but complained, and denied it flatly: "Nonsense, why have I smashed your Wang's shop? Where is the witness? Who said that someone confronted him three times!?"

Wang Lin pretended to be surprised, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know who you are, this official?"

Ximen Qing said coldly: "This is Ximen Qing!"

Wang Lin's face remained unchanged, "So you are that Ximen Qing. Since you are face to face, why don't you just ask me, when did I, Wang Lin, offend a high official in Ximen, so that you wanted to smash my shop and rob me of my goods?"

Ximen Qing couldn't suppress his rage, "I'm going to ask you this!"

"Someone is in Yanggu, and has nothing to do with you, Wang Lin of Qinghe County, and has no grievances or enmities. Well water does not violate river water! Why do you force me to marry a woman whom I, Ximen Qing hired in advance, as a concubine? This is deceiving me, Ximen Qing, for my incompetence Is it?"

Wang Lin smiled faintly: "The officials of Ximen are really good at turning black and white. I have known Lady Meng for a long time, we have mutual affection, and we have a long-standing covenant, but unexpectedly you, Ximen Qing, suddenly stepped in and repeatedly threatened Lady Meng to submit. Is it nothing more than the Yang family property left by Mrs. Meng's ex-husband?"

Ximen Qing roared angrily: "Wang Lin, you're deceiving people too much! It's obvious that a certain subordinate was hired first, and you were the one who snatched him the last, yet you dare to speak up here and pretend to be an upright gentleman! Don't you like the Yang family?" Family property? Otherwise you would marry a widow in her 20s?"

Wang Lin was indifferent: "You really are a villain who sued first. I have an appointment with Mrs. Meng. The Yang family property is always her private property, or it may belong to the Yang family's relatives. Xiaosheng does not take any money. This matter has been discussed with the Qinghe county government. Documents as evidence."

Ximen Qing didn't believe it at all, he clenched his fists tightly, intending to make a fuss on the spot, and felt that he might not be able to beat the tiger-fighting Wang Lin, so let's not make a fuss, and he couldn't swallow it.

At this time, Hua Zixu's adoptive father and uncle, the retired old eunuch Hua, who was at the same table with the county magistrate, sat tremblingly and said, "You two are high-ranking officials in Shandong, why bother for a woman? Unpleasant troubles? It’s better to make big things into small things in the eyes of others.”

The magistrate of Yanggu county also turned around and persuaded after hearing the words: "Grandpa Hua's words are true. With the wealth of the two, such a beautiful woman is easy to capture, so why hurt the peace?"

Hua Zixu also cast a calm glance at Ximen Qing.

Only then did Ximen Qing step down from the stage, and sat down angrily.

Good guy, you endured it?

Didn't the ancients say that cutting off one's wealth is equal to killing one's parents, and this is the revenge of killing one's father, how can Ximen Qing bear it?
Wang Lin stroked his chin smoothly.

So Wang Lin walked back slowly, and sat at the same table, facing Ximen Qing.

Wang Lin raised his glass to invite him to drink, and chatted with the magistrate of Yanggu County, including the old eunuch Nahua, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

But after a while, his topic turned to Ximen Qing intentionally or unintentionally.

"Everyone, I heard that this Lion Tower used to be called Huaide Hall? Or was it built with donations from Ximen officials?" Wang Lin's words made everyone feel a thump in their hearts, subconsciously looking at Ximen Qing.

However, Wang Lin said to himself as usual: "I heard that Zhao Runde, the owner of Huaidetang, had a girl named Xiugu in her family, who was as beautiful as a flower. She was forced to marry by a bully that day, and Zhao Runde died on the spot. That Xiugu pretended to cater to the bully in order to avenge her father. , got him drunk with wine, and then set himself on fire..."

"The bully was rescued from the fire by his family, but he became sick from fright. When he closed his eyes, he saw Zhao's father and daughter demanding their lives. So he asked the monk Youfang to set up an altar to drive away ghosts, rebuild the first floor, and carve The red-eyed stone lion with mane and grinning teeth suppresses evil spirits and suppresses ghosts, so everything is safe..."

"Everyone, I heard from hearsay, is it true?" Wang Lin said loudly.

Everyone bowed their heads.

Ximen Qing couldn't control it anymore.

He stood up slowly, his eyes were like a wild beast picking someone up, and he said fiercely: "Wang Lin, what on earth do you want to do? You run against a certain family all the time, do you really think that I, Ximen Qing, is easy to bully?"

Wang Lin cupped his hands and said sarcastically, "How dare you? In this Yanggu County, no one would say that only Ximen high officials bully others. How can anyone dare to break ground on Ximen high officials?"

The hand in the sleeve of Ximen Qing's robe tightly grasped the dagger, and he was about to make a move.

If Wang Lin was allowed to humiliate him openly and secretly, his reputation as a high official in Ximen would be ruined, and he would never have a high profile in Yanggu County from now on.

Ximen Qing waved his hand, and the servants and handymen of the Lion Tower rushed out, closed the door tightly, and surrounded them with sticks.

All the guests didn't dare to make noise, they got up quietly and retreated to the two sides, as if they were watching the excitement.

"Wang Lin, do you know that the Lion House is owned by a certain family?"

"You know, in this Yanggu County, even if I kill you in public, no one would dare to testify against a certain family."

Wang Lin smiled lightly, shrugged and said, "I know, you are very good."

"Since you know, you dare to come to Yanggu to humiliate a certain family in public. Do you really think that your reputation as a so-called tiger-fighting hero can protect your life?"

"In broad daylight, especially in front of the magistrates of this county and the lords, do you still dare to commit murder in public? Where are the laws of the Song Dynasty?"

Ximen Qing laughed grimly: "Law? In Yanggu County, so-and-so is the law!"

Ximen Qing waved his hand, and more than a dozen thugs rushed forward.

Wu Song jumped down from the second floor of the Lion Tower.

He opened his posture with a frosty face, his punches were like thunder and shooting stars, his mandarin duck legs and jade ring steps were used with great proficiency, almost one punch and one kick, and beat the dozen or so thugs so that they fell to the ground one after another.

Ximen Qing's expression changed drastically.

Wang Lin's kung fu was not tested, but a man with stronger martial arts emerged, and this was obviously Wang Lin's subordinate.

Wu Song stared at Ximen Qing coldly, approaching him step by step.

But Wang Lin laughed and stopped him: "Forget it, Second Brother Wu, we are all law-abiding citizens of Song Dynasty, how can we fight with others at will."

Wu Song grinned and stepped aside.

Ximen Qing stomped his feet, and more people who had been ambushing in advance emerged.

His eyeballs fluttered wildly, thinking that these people could at most stop the strong man just now, as for Wang Lin, it seemed that he had to do it himself.

Ximen Qing sized Wang Lin up and down, seeing his weak and weak appearance, most of the time he was fighting a tiger was spreading rumors, and evil thoughts arose in his heart.

However, Wang Lin clasped his fists at Yanggu magistrate and the others, pretending to be indignant and said: "Masters, my lords, Xiaosheng had a good intention to entertain guests today, but he was interrupted by someone, which is really disappointing. Since there is no place for reasoning in Yanggu County, then Xiaosheng From here on, I set off to Dongping Mansion, and Xiaosheng really didn't believe it, how can this Song Dynasty mansion be connected up and down, controlled by a villain, and it's not clear whether it's right or wrong?"

"Farewell!"

Wang Lin turned around and left.
