The Founding of the Red Chamber

Chapter 138 Hanzhou City Part 1

Chen Qibao has always been full of affection for Lin Yi. This kind of affection is like a younger brother's respect and admiration for Lin Yi's character.Or maybe Lin Yi didn't know, but Chen Qibao would never forget that when he came to the Imperial Capital for his father's lawsuit, he blamed the Lin Manor.For the first time, he knew that there was such a brother who was also a father in the world.

In Chen Qibao's youthful life, he always thought that his father and brother were all those muddy existences.When he arrived at the Lin family, he understood that there is such a generous, meticulous, gentle and strict elder brother like Lin Yi in the world.

It's just that he has no blessing to have it.

Now, he is able to occupy the throne because of Lin Yi's support.

What virtue and ability he has, or, his blessing, is not too bad.

Chen Qibao had indeed been imprisoned for his biological father, but when it comes to his feelings for his father, he only watched Duke Xiangyang's actions, and he knew that it was difficult for his character to arouse the admiration and respect of his children.

Therefore, Lin Jing slaughtered Duke Xiangyang, and Chen Qibao felt very sad.

As for Lin Jing, just like Lin Jing's feeling towards Chen Qibao, Chen Qibao's impression of Lin Jing has always been that of a pampered noble son.Of course, Lin Jing's sudden murder was somewhat beyond Chen Qibao's expectation.However, compared to when Lin Jing was in the imperial capital, it is not very difficult for him to kill people.

Chen Qibao wouldn't pursue Lin Jing, not to mention anything else, for Lin Yi's sake, he didn't want Lin Yi to be in such a difficult situation.

What's more, there are quite a lot of people interceding for Lin Jing, even the Queen Mother Kong in the palace also said, "This matter, if you say right or wrong, it must be Ah Jing's fault. Hey, he is young, isn't that what young people are like, when they get angry for a while Then I can't care about anything. Hey, this child, hey—"

Based on what the Empress Dowager Kong chanted and sighed three times, it would be difficult for Chen Qibao to kill Lin Jing even if he was in the imperial capital.

Not to mention the Empress Dowager Kong, even Lin Jing's nemesis Xie Guogong also said a few words for Lin Jing, Xie Guogong said, "Lin Jing is going and going, Your Majesty is broad-minded and respected by the world." Of course, these words are for Lin Jing after all. Excuse, or build bridges to stir fire, there are two things to say.

However, Lin Jing finally left. This time, Xie Guogong said, "The imperial capital is really lonely without Fourth Master Lin."

The reason why Xie Guogong's mansion did not go all out to investigate this matter was not because of the face of Lin Guogong's mansion, but because Lin Jing was not arrested, but fled.Lin Jing is such a tough guy, he is still alive. At this time, Xie Guogong really regretted sending an assassin to kill Lin Jing.In particular, the assassin also missed.

A murderer like Lin Jing can't put him to death for a day, and can't easily shoot him for a day!

However, as soon as Lin Jing left, the young master of the Lin family would be a pillar of the sky, and there would be no harm to Xie's family.

Xie Guogong has already begun to consider the situation of the new imperial capital.

As for other families in the imperial capital, those who are similar to the Lin family are naturally a pity for Lin Jing.However, many generals and officials felt that although Lin Jing's actions violated the laws of the country, it really pleased people's hearts that this matter was done!As a man, if someone wears a cuckold, how can he still pretend to be indifferent!Fourth master Lin is considered a man by doing this!

There is another family, Mrs. Kong Guogong, the old wife of the Kong family, who was terrified. Lin Jing accidentally kicked her natal nephew to death. Only people can give up.Now think about it, how dangerous it is.Fortunately, Lin Jing didn't show any viciousness at that time, otherwise, if Lin Jing was offended, the fate of the Duke of Xiangyang's lineage would be a precedent for the Kong family.

Madam Kong was frightened, and no one would dare to say a bad word about Lin Jing.

Lin Jing didn't leave alone, he brought personal guards with him.

According to Lin Jingzhi's ability, how can there be no confidant around him.

Even after leaving the imperial capital, Lin Jing had already thought about where to go.It stands to reason that he could go to either Jinzhong or Muzhou.Even the Jinzhou Mansion where Tu Xiaosan lives, Lin Jing can also go.However, in these two places, Lin Jing didn't go anywhere. He took his guards and went all the way north, passing through the Jinzhou Mansion, and continuing north until he reached Hanzhou City, which is the northernmost city on the border.

It was two years later that Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan met again. Tu Xiaosan and his party were enlisted in the military service, not asking them to dig ginseng, but they used to take care of it.But there is an unwritten rule in Hanzhou City, whoever comes to dig ginseng must pay for the ginseng.Moreover, the money received is not young or old.

Tu Xiaosan has collected tolls before, but he used to collect tolls from others, but now others collect him.Tu Xiaosan was annoyed, and said angrily, "The cash register is on Grandpa's head, do you know who Grandpa is? Grandpa is an official hundred households sealed by the imperial court, and he really lacks the eighth rank!"

The cashier boy squinted his eyes and smiled, "I know, you have a hundred households with a price of 500 taels on the outside. Our lord is a third-rank General Zhaowu, and he is about ten steps higher than you." The abacus beads snapped Dial, "Chenghui 200 taels!"

Tu Xiaosan became even more angry, "The total value of this offer is only 2000 taels, so you can just charge 200 taels, and I'll just give it to you."

The boy smiled and bowed, "Thank you for the reward, sir, two old ginseng plants."

Tu Xiaosan quickly put Shensai in his arms, and beckoned Xiao Niuzi to give the passing money, 200 taels!Thinking of how expensive the toll was, Tu Xiaosan twitched in distress, and went back with a sulky face all the way.

What is the origin of Tu Xiaosan and his party, they have always been the only ones who blackmail others, and they don't want to be blackmailed this time, they can't swallow this breath.Tu Xiaosi came up with an idea, "Brother, I heard that General Xuanwu lives in the city, or else, let's go over tonight and have a look."

Tu Xiaosan said, "Be honest first. This person dares to collect ginseng money so presumptuously, he must have something to rely on. Find out clearly before we speak."

Tu Xiaosan couldn't figure it out, the origin of this general Xuanwu was unknown, some people said that he was a fugitive who murdered people, or something like that, but Tu Xiaosan didn't care, he was also a fugitive murderer.But the key point is that when this person didn't come to Hanzhou City, there were barbarians, northerners, and businessmen living in Hanzhou City. Although there were officials sent by the imperial court to rule, in fact, the officials in charge didn't dare to control them harshly.

However, since this person came to Hanzhou City, he has harassed more than a dozen gangs of bandits in two years, and then took control of Hanzhou City. Since then, Hanzhou City has been dominated by this person.Later, this person spent money to buy a third-rank Xuanwu general. From then on, the chief political officer dared not control him even more.

So, now, this one has the final say in Hanzhou City.

Although Tu Xiaosan said to wait for a while, but Tu Xiaosi's temper, he couldn't wait, so he made an appointment with the Jia brothers that night to go to General Xuanwu's residence to find out.After this dip, he couldn't come back.

Tu Xiaosan was in a hurry, thought for a while at home, and found a mahogany box with snow satin and silk cotton heated inside, tied two red strings to two ginseng, put it properly in the box, carried this box, Went up to Xuanwu Mansion.

Tu Xiaosan was very courageous, and said, "Yesterday, my younger brother came to visit the General, but he didn't return all night. The officer came to pay his respects to the General." Then, he gave a silver ingot to each of the porters.

Tu Xiaosan waited at the porter for half an hour before the porter let him in.

Tu Xiaosan walked through many courtyards, although the General's Mansion is a military officer's mansion, except for the guards, there are quite a few scenic spots to admire.Tu Xiaosan was eager to save his younger brother, and he didn't want to enjoy the scenery. Finally, in a very exquisite courtyard, he heard the voice of General Xuanwu.

Yes, it was just a voice, it wasn't that no one was seen, it's just that people were vaguely seen through the curtain.

He heard a lazy voice ask, "Someone came to my house to assassinate yesterday, is it your younger brother? Are you brave enough to come to my general's house? Are you here to surrender? It's interesting. Ben The general will fulfill you and send you brothers to reunite."

Seeing that their brothers were about to be reunited, Tu Xiaosan was stunned when he heard the voice, waiting for the guards to arrest him, Tu Xiaosan suddenly said, "Ah Jing, is it Ah Jing?"

This is Tu Xiaosan's special ability, but he will never forget any voice he has heard.

Hearing "Alas", Tu Xiaosan hurried over, Lin Jing was holding his fingers and walked out from behind the curtain, seeing Tu Xiaosan, he was quite surprised, "Hey, third brother, why is it you?"

Tu Xiaosan saw him pinching his finger, pulled it over to have a closer look, and saw that it was bleeding.Tu Xiaosan said, "Why are you so careless?"

"I was cutting my nails just now. When you called me by my name, I was frightened. When I crooked my hand, I cut my nails."

An attendant brought ointment and gauze, and Tu Xiaosan bandaged Lin Jing, and asked Lin Jing, "Ah Jing, why did you come to Hanzhou?"

Lin Jing smiled, "Talk in the room."

Lin Jing roughly told Tu Xiaosan about himself, "I committed a crime in the imperial capital, and I couldn't stay any longer, so I just thought about where I could find a living. Thinking that you were in Jinzhou, I came here to the north."

Tu Xiaosan said, "I received a letter from you, saying that I would not be allowed to write to you again in the imperial capital. I thought it was because of some reason, since you came to the north, why didn't you go to find me, instead you came to the cold State. It's very cold in Hanzhou, how do you live there?"

"It's hard to live anywhere, you see, I can't live well."

Tu Xiaosan was not very happy, "It was so difficult when you came to Hanzhou by yourself. Brother, what do you do? You just use it to rely on. Don't you know my background? If others think you have a case, I will definitely Not so."

Lin Jing said, "Hey, haven't we met again?"

Tu Xiaosan said, "If it wasn't for a coincidence, I would have seen it somewhere."

"Even if you don't come, I plan to find someone to look for you." Lin Jing smiled, "I have been unstable here for the past two years, so I didn't look for you."

Tu Xiaosan was unhappy, "You are heretics with me."

What is Lin Jing's temper? When he was at home, he was always coaxed by people. Even when he came out, this is also the master who collected tolls for the king in Champa.Lin Jing saw that Tu Xiaosan was mumbling endlessly, and said simply, "It's not over! Don't think about it, I'm a man of seven feet, I know you can't treat me wrong when I go to your place, but I don't want to lose face Is it? I have to live my own life!"

Tu Xiaosan asked, "What big crime did you commit?"

Lin Jing was hesitating whether to tell Tu Xiaosan, but Tu Xiaosan said, "I told you last time, it was not my friend who killed the two stepbrothers, but me."

Lin Jing said, "It's nothing, I just killed the emperor's father."

In the past, Tu Xiaosan thought that he was also considered a bold person, but after meeting Lin Jing, Tu Xiaosan found that it was just a comparison of the crimes committed by the two of them, which was not enough for him!

I don't know, after knowing the reason for Lin Jing's murder, Tu Xiaosan clapped his hands and praised, "Good kill! A man, don't let this anger go any longer!"

The two of them had made up their minds with each other, and now that he met, he naturally had endless things to say.

The two reunited after talking about their farewell for a long time. It was not until lunchtime that Tu Xiaosan remembered his younger brother and the Jia brothers. Lin Jing ordered people to release Tu Xiaosi and the three of them. Tu Xiaosi and the Jia brothers saw Lin Jing , was quite surprised, Tu Xiaosi said straightly, "So that General Xuanwu is you!"

"What General Xuanwu?"

"You don't know, people outside call you that!"

Lin Jing said angrily, "Idiot, General Zhaowu!"
