After the tool man strikes [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 64 The Stupid Brother in the Imperial Examination
The next morning, Lin Lang went to the county government office to reapply his identity documents. Lu Jingye kept his word and patiently followed him through the journey. Anxian didn't have a fixed residence yet, so he offered to help find a way to put his household registration on a vacant household that had been completely closed.
Although real-name authentication is not required everywhere in ancient times like modern times, identity verification is still required for important occasions such as participating in scientific examinations and enlisting in the army.
Lin Lang dried the ink and carefully put away the identity documents he had just received. Now he is finally a person with identity.
When he was about to leave, Lin Lang saw the county magistrate following Lu Jingye like a little tail, looking conscientious, and asked tentatively, "Does Mr. Chen know about Dragon Phoenix Casino?"
County magistrate Mr. Chen was slightly taken aback, glanced at Lu Jingye before replying: "Dragon Phoenix Casino is the largest casino in the county, how could Chen not know, Mr. Lin asked this is..."
"Oh, I went in yesterday to join in the fun and watched a martial arts competition." Lin Lang narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly. "The scene was very grand. Does Mr. Chen know who their big boss is?"
"This..." County magistrate Chen thought for a while, and said with uncertainty: "Their boss seems to be surnamed Li, who used to be in the business of running darts, and only opened this casino three years ago, so I don't know much about the rest. , have never dealt with."
"Master Chen, you are not answering the question." Lin Lang also relied on Lu Jingye's presence, and the county magistrate Chen did not dare to shame him too much, so he said directly, "I heard that many people died in the arena of Dragon Phoenix Casino As for people, another one died yesterday, you are the official of the people’s parents, why don’t you care about this?”
County magistrate Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and seeing Lu Jingye also frowning at him, he quickly explained: "I do know about this, but those deceased people signed life and death certificates before they came to the stage. If you like me, even if I am the county magistrate It doesn't matter either."
Even though he said that, seeing his secretive face, Lin Lang also knew that the county magistrate Chen must know more, but he had some concerns and couldn't tell. Even if he wanted to break the casserole and ask the bottom line, he probably couldn't ask anything. Lang withdrew his gaze, "So that's the case, Lin is just asking out of curiosity, please don't take offense to County Magistrate Chen."
"No, no," County Magistrate Chen wiped the sweat from his neck, seemingly heaving a sigh of relief.
After leaving the county office, Lu Jingye invited Lin Lang to sit in the teahouse for a while, and when he entered the box, he took the initiative to mention the casino, "I wonder why Brother Lin is interested in Dragon Phoenix Casino?"
Lin Lang didn't say that he was going to fight in the ring, and sighed, "Last night, I saw someone die on the stage with my own eyes. The death was like a lamp going out. I can't help but feel sorry."
With a clear look on Lu Jingye's face, he lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that what happened to Brother Lin's family is related to this Dragon Phoenix Casino?"
Lin Lang: "Huh? Brother Lu, why do you think so?"
Lu Jingye pursed his lips, and said clearly: "Brother Lin is a high-spirited and upright man, he always obeys my family's bad boy, and he is indifferent to fame and fortune, and does not repay his kindness. If there is no special secret, he will definitely not enter the smoky place like the casino. "
Lin Lang: "..."
Ashamed, ashamed, he is really not that great, he just wants to make some quick money, isn't this person too good at making up his mind?
Just as he was about to explain, Lu Jingye sighed and said again: "Brother Lin is Ah Bao's savior, that is, my Lu family's savior. If there is anything that needs help, Lu family is obliged to do so. Brother Lin doesn't need to be polite to me."
"The Lu family has been operating in Zhao'an County for more than ten years, and it's a bit thin-skinned. Brother Ruolin doesn't mind, so I'll leave the casino matter to Lu to investigate."
Is this the truth that if you tell a lie, you need to use countless lies to make up for it... Seeing Lu Jingye's sincere desire to help, Lin Lang felt a little uneasy.
However, he can actually understand Lu Jingye's mentality. Businessmen like them, who have a big business like them, are most unwilling to owe other people's debts, let alone a big debt like a life-saving grace. Leave a handle.
Lin Lang cupped his hands, "Then thank you Brother Lu for your help."
It just so happened that he was also quite curious about this matter, and he had to know who the owner was if he took the money for it.
**
After nightfall, the Dragon Phoenix Casino was as lively as last night, and even the loudest gamblers were similar faces to those they had seen last night.
Today, Lin Lang's position was changed to the stage. He specially put on a mask to cover half of his face. Looking down at the audience, he could even feel the madness of the gamblers who were so red-eyed that they even lost their sanity. Dreaming of getting rich overnight here, but in the end they often go bankrupt.
Man Niu also stood on the other side of the ring, squinted at Lin Lang, and then looked away expressionlessly.
Although the original owner was considered tall and mighty, his physique was still much smaller than this bull who had been famous for a long time. The two sat opposite each other, and the contrast was even more stark. The audience below began to whisper and discuss.
"Did the casino find no one willing to take the stage, and just find such a weak chicken?"
"You can go ahead, if you say that others are weak chickens, then you are a chicken."
"I can't, so I won't go up, I want you to take care of it!"
"Yesterday, the strong man had nothing to do with the bull. Can we watch today's game?"
"Boy who is overconfident, I think he will die again today."
"Wearing a mask and thinking that you are a master, you will laugh out my big teeth!"
"I think the casino can open another game. Guess how many moves the bull can win. I'll take a bet!"
……
Lin Lang listened to him, but he didn't hear any support for him. The odds set by the casino for him were several times higher, but the people who bet on him were only in twos and threes. Losing almost to the point of bankruptcy, he desperately gambled on his luck.
The latter type of people are easy to recognize in the crowd. They stare at the ring with their eyes wide open, and their eyes are full of crazy emotions of extreme excitement. Lin Lang has no doubt that if he loses today, some of these people may Someone turned into a desperado and took his life away on the spot.
Gambling such opportunistic behavior is really not worth advocating. Lin Lang couldn't help wondering whether he should lose this game in order to prevent them from continuing to be obsessed. .
Last night, Lin Lang carefully observed Manniu's style of play. To describe it in one word, it is "bad". When he is clearly evenly matched with the opponent, and may even have the upper hand, he just wants to show weakness. He fought back fiercely, completely depriving him of hope.
Compared with tactical considerations, he seems to have a playful mentality, like a cat catching a mouse but not eating it, but playing with the applause.
However, perhaps because of his contempt for Lin Lang, Man Niu played differently after taking the stage this time. He punched Lin Lang directly in the face, with disdain written all over his face, "Any cat or dog dares to provoke you!" Father, court death!"
Everyone in the audience saw his plan and cheered for him.
"Dare to fight in the ring without any skills, you really want to die!"
"Good job! Brilliant bull! One move determines the outcome!"
However, the next scene made everyone astonished. The two collided head-on, and it was clear that Man Niu's heavy punch had hit Lin Lang. Top-heavy, in a blink of an eye, the person was thrown to the bottom of the ring.
There was a dead silence at the scene, and it took a long time before someone asked, "Well, did anyone see clearly what happened just now?"
"The bull lost?! Is it my eyesight?!"
"I seem to have seen it too..."
Immediately afterwards, the few people who bet on Lin Lang burst into thunderous laughter, "I won! I spent a few thousand taels in, and finally won once! The old house is preserved!"
"The rookie is doing well! I saw you right!"
The Man Niu who was thrown off the ring turned blue and white, snorted coldly, rushed out of the crowd and entered the backstage, and the rest of the audience were still discussing.
"My eyesight may be bad. Why did I seem to see that new one flying?"
"I saw it too! I was afraid you would say that I was bragging, so I didn't dare to say..."
"I don't know any of them, that's called light work!"
"Qinggong? Could it be that this newcomer is the legendary martial arts master?!"
"Brute Bull has finally met his opponent, see how crazy he is, I am happy today, I treat him!"
"Winning once is not considered great, let's wait for him to win [-] games in a row!"
……
Lin Lang changed back to his clothes and went backstage, the casino owner warmly greeted him as soon as he saw him, his pea-sized eyes burst into laughter, "Brother Lin Lang, today really opened our eyes! You have worked so hard, come here, have a cup of tea and take a break, and drink flower wine at night?"
Can he not be enthusiastic? Tonight, more than [-]% of the people in the audience are betting on the bull, and the casino has made a lot of money.
Lin Lang didn't take his tea, and he still had the same indifferent and arrogant look from yesterday, "You don't have to drink, what about the money?"
"Of course you won't be missing." The boss smiled and took out a stack of bank notes. "Here is 5000 taels. Brother Lin Lang, please keep it. If you can successfully defend tomorrow night, you still have this amount!"
"Who said I'll play tomorrow night?" Lin Lang raised his eyelids with a disinterested expression on his face, "I thought I could find an opponent here with you, but I'm still a useless defeated opponent. It's boring."
"I said!"
A sinister voice suddenly came from the side, Man Niu didn't know when he came to him, "I said you are going to play tomorrow, so you have to play!"
"That's amazing," Lin Lang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You are a mere defeated general, where do you have the face?"
The words "defeated" obviously stung Man Niu, his face trembled, and malice almost overflowed from his body, "It's just a lucky win, I advise you not to be too arrogant!"
Lin Lang also squinted at him, "If you win once, you will be so angry, if you win a few more times, I'm afraid you will die of anger."
"you!!!"
Man Niu was shirtless and was about to rush towards Lin Lang. The casino owner hurriedly asked a few guys to hold him back, and looked at Lin Lang dumbfounded, "My brother Lin, you know Man Niu's violent temper, so don't worry about it." Let me just say a few words, my casino can't stand your troubles." Turning his head, he patted Man Niu's shoulder again, "You too, you don't lose face once you lose, why are you so arrogant."
He wanted to please both sides, but neither side wanted to give him face. Man Niu glared at Lin Lang coldly, "If you have the guts, let's compete again tomorrow, don't be a coward!"
Lin Lang smiled contemptuously, "Comparison is what you say, why?"
"That's all!" Man Niu took out a thick stack of banknotes and slapped them on the table fiercely, "Here are 1 taels of banknotes, as long as you promise to fight me again tomorrow, these are all yours." !"
Man Niu has always had a good face, today he was kicked off the ring by Lin Lang in full view of everyone, and he lost all face. How could he swallow this bad breath, even if it cost him all his belongings, he had to compete with him again. Dignity won back!
"So generous?" Lin Lang raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of embarrassment, "It's not a question of money, I set a principle for myself, and I won't fight a second time with a defeated subordinate..."
Man Niu took out another stack of banknotes, "Another 5000 taels!"
"Deal!" Lin Lang took the bank note, "Since you want to compare with sincerity, Lin will accompany you again!"
The casino owner who stood by and couldn't get in the way: "..."
Why does he think that winning or losing the next game has already been determined by IQ...
The next day's match was a little bit thrilling, but it wasn't Lin Lang who was shocked, but Man Niu.
He spent 5000 taels in exchange for the chance to fight again. In order to win back face, of course he will do everything he can, as long as he can win.
The casino stipulated that no weapons could be used in the arena, but Man Niu had already figured out the loopholes in their body search after staying for so many days, and secretly brought in a poisonous needle soaked in Mongolian sweat medicine, trying to assassinate Lin Lang.
However, Lin Lang had been on guard for a long time. At the moment when he was about to stab the needle, he didn't know what method he used to make his poisonous needle turn around without anyone noticing it, and stabbed at him instead. Own!
Man Niu, who was thrown out of the stage again after being tricked by himself: "..."
This man can do magic tricks!This is cheating!
Lin Lang silently smiled at him, haven't you heard of stealing the sky and changing the day? It's a small magic in the cultivation world. There is no spiritual power in this world, and its effect is less than [-]%. Still a breeze.
Losing again in public, Man Niu was not as angry as the first time, and he was even a little thankful that he used Mongolian sweat medicine instead of the poison that sealed his throat with blood, otherwise he might have poisoned himself.
In a fair and honest manner, he fought twice but failed to please him. Man Niu finally recognized that Lin Lang had some abilities, but he was never in the mood to admit defeat. Even more impatient, he summoned several brothers who had seen blood on the road, and blocked Lin Lang in an alley beside the road at night.
He bullied others like this, but it was exactly what Lin Lang wanted.Lin Lang beat up the group of people who came up to find fault with their noses and swollen faces, tied them into a string of gourds, and dragged them directly to the county government gate.Didn't magistrate Chen say that fighting in the ring is what you want, and he doesn't take care of people who die. Now it's in broad daylight that the more bullying the less, he can always take care of it.
Lin Lang beat the drum in front of the county government office, attracting countless crowds of onlookers, and then County Magistrate Chen came out in disheveled clothes, and Lin Lang hurried up to meet him, "Master Chen, these little thieves are sneaking around at night, attacking innocent passers-by and trying to Violence, the grassroots couldn't bear the hard work of the adults in handling the case, so they were all arrested, please deal with the adults!"
The county magistrate Chen, who was still intoxicated in the concubine's gentle hometown, was called out by Lin Lang's beating of gongs and drums: "...Thank you so much."
He glanced at the group of people tied to the ground, headed by Man Niu, and his heart skipped a beat. These are well-known bullies in Zhao'an County. They usually bully the township a lot, but they have never been punished. Of course, it is because There were people covering their backs, and even County Magistrate Chen accepted their management.
But now Lin Lang was staring at him in front of his eyes, as if he could immediately pounce on him as long as he said "I will not accept it for the time being"... This Mr. Lin is under the protection of the Patriarch of the Lu family, so he can't afford to provoke him.
Anyway, if both sides want to offend people, then just handle it impartially. County magistrate Chen slapped the gavel, "Who is under the hall, quickly tell your name, confess your crime, and don't even think about hiding anything!"
……
Hearing that Man Niu and his gang found faults and found a hard fault, they were taken to the county government and served in prison. The ordinary people in Zhao'an County felt very happy, and there was finally a reason for bullying the good and fearing the evil.
Especially those whose families unfortunately have one or two unscrupulous descendants who are addicted to gambling, they all use the matter of the bull to teach the gamblers, "Let you gamble all day long! Be careful that one day you will go to prison like that bull!"
"Then what's the matter, Man Niu was arrested for beating people in private, you are lying!"
"What's the difference? Anyway, it's not good if you run into gambling. If you dare to go to that Laoshizi casino, I will break your dog legs!"
Regardless of whether it is unreasonable or not, anyway, after Man Niu was arrested, the business of the casino became much colder. As the "culprit", Lin Lang decided not to go any further. He thought that people from the casino would come to trouble him, but who knew Did not come.
He has stayed in Zhao'an County for some time, the identity issue has been settled, and he has made some money. It is time to leave and proceed to the next step of the plan.
Before leaving, he specially went to the Lu family's other courtyard in Zhao'an County to say goodbye to the Lu family.
Hearing that Lin Lang was visiting, Lu Jingye quickly explained the affairs at hand and came to see him in person. His wife Chu Xiyun also brought Abao over.
"You are Mr. Lin, right?" Mrs. Lu greeted Lin Lang gently, "A few days ago, A Bao troubled you to take care of me."
After all, she is the Taifu's own sister. Mrs. Lu smelled of books from head to toe. Lin Lang thought he was a vulgar person, so he could only smile at her innocently, "It should be, no trouble."
He was rather curious, how could such a lady from a great family marry into a merchant's family, but it became clear after looking at the way the couple got along with each other. There was a tacit understanding in every look, gesture, and gesture, which made others just want to sigh at themselves superfluous.
Even A Bao had the same idea as him, seeing his parents standing together and discussing what kind of tea to drink with affection, A Bao slipped to Lin Lang's side and sighed abruptly: "Oh, sometimes I wonder if my birth was an accident."
Lin Lang was amused by the appearance of other people, "Why do you say that?"
"I just think I'm superfluous," Ah Bao puffed up his cheeks, "Look at them, you can't see others in your eyes."
Lin Lang patted him on the head, "You are the only child of your parents, and of course you are the one who loves you the most."
"That's not true, Uncle Lang, let me tell you in secret. The reason why I ran away from home last time was because of the anger of the two of them! Didn't it just accidentally break their token of love? My mother has been hiding Cry, my father ignored me for ten days! Uncle Lang, do you think it's too much for adults like them?"
Lin Lang: "..."
This question is beyond the scope.
Lu Jingye and his wife got tired of it for a while, and finally remembered the son and guests they had forgotten. Mrs. Lu blushed and went into the back room to ask someone to prepare a meal. Lu Jingye cupped her hands at Lin Lang, "I haven't seen you for a few days, brother Lin The style is still there."
Lin Lang exchanged business with him for a while, explaining that he came to say goodbye.
"Leaving so soon?" Lu Jingye felt a little regretful, "I wonder what Brother Lin's plan is next?"
Lin Lang didn't hide his thoughts, "Lin is going to join the army."
"Join the army?" Lu Jingye was not only stunned, "Did Brother Lin know something?"
Um?Hearing what he said, it seemed like there was something else he should know?Lin Lang paused calmly, "Brother Lu, why did you say that?"
Lu Jingye winked, let Abao go out to play alone, and ordered all the servants to quit, and then said to Lin Lang with a heavy expression: "I promised to investigate the Dragon Phoenix Casino for Brother Lin, and I finally fulfilled my mission. I found out something. looks."
Lin Lang cupped his hands at him, "Brother Lu, thank you."
"I don't have to work hard," Lu Jingye showed a trace of shame on his face, "If Brother Lin's enemies are them, Lu can only advise, be careful in everything and act cautiously."
"What is it..."
Lu Jingye lowered his voice, "Dragon Phoenix Casino has semicolons everywhere, and the owner behind it is the same person as the Longyun Casino in Beijing, but Lu's people found that there was another person standing behind them. It is under one person and above ten thousand people."
Lin Lang's eyes flickered slightly, "Brother Lu said, could it be that... Prime Minister Qu?"
Lu Jingye nodded slightly, "Exactly."
After going around and around, everything is connected together. Could this be the magic of the plot?Lin Lang was also a little surprised.
Prime Minister Qu is also very important in the original plot of this book. The protagonist Lin Ze has two most important nobles in his life. The mentor who inspired him to embark on an official career was Prime Minister Qu.
Lu Jingye took a sip of tea and said again: "Prime Minister Qu has been running the court for decades, and everyone in the world is his disciples. Mrs. Lu can only avoid the limelight and dare not continue to investigate. Brother Lin please forgive me."
"Where is it, brother Lu is too polite, and Lin is very grateful for telling Lin about this."
Lu Jingye considered for a moment, nodded and said: "Prime Minister Qu is the top civil servant in the world, Brother Lin avoids his edge, joins the army and takes the route of a military officer, it is also a different way."
Lin Lang said ambiguously: "Lin is alone, and his talents and knowledge are not comparable to others, so he can only rely on his brute strength to fight."
His mission in this world is to prevent Lin Ze from going to a high position and bring disasters to the world, but Lin Lang is unwilling to stay in the Lin family with Lin Zexu and the Snake. His plan is to get more success in this world before Lin Ze becomes famous. Great power, when the time comes to clean up Lin Ze, it will be within his grasp.
After all, Lin Ze is the protagonist of the world. Even without his elder brother as a tool man, there will still be other opportunities to find him and help him get ahead.
Although with Lin Lang's memory and the extensive knowledge he has brought from various worlds, if he calms down and studies the Four Books and Five Classics of this world, he may not be able to make a name for himself through the imperial examinations and compete with Lin Ze.
However, Lin Lang has never liked the intrigue and flattery in the officialdom, and he can't write all kinds of eulogizing articles. If he reluctantly participates in the imperial examination, he may be the first to make himself irritable. It suits his temper.
"Brother Lin is too modest," Lu Jingye sighed, "That's okay, with Brother Lin's skills, he will definitely have a bright future in the military camp."

"No, no," County Magistrate Chen wiped the sweat from his neck, seemingly heaving a sigh of relief.

Lin Lang: "..."
Ashamed, ashamed, he is really not that great, he just wants to make some quick money, isn't this person too good at making up his mind?
Just as he was about to explain, Lu Jingye sighed and said again: "Brother Lin is Ah Bao's savior, that is, my Lu family's savior. If there is anything that needs help, Lu family is obliged to do so. Brother Lin doesn't need to be polite to me."
"The Lu family has been operating in Zhao'an County for more than ten years, and it's a bit thin-skinned. Brother Ruolin doesn't mind, so I'll leave the casino matter to Lu to investigate."
Is this the truth that if you tell a lie, you need to use countless lies to make up for it... Seeing Lu Jingye's sincere desire to help, Lin Lang felt a little uneasy.

A sinister voice suddenly came from the side, Man Niu didn't know when he came to him, "I said you are going to play tomorrow, so you have to play!"
"That's amazing," Lin Lang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You are a mere defeated general, where do you have the face?"
The words "defeated" obviously stung Man Niu, his face trembled, and malice almost overflowed from his body, "It's just a lucky win, I advise you not to be too arrogant!"
Lin Lang also squinted at him, "If you win once, you will be so angry, if you win a few more times, I'm afraid you will die of anger."
"you!!!"
Man Niu was shirtless and was about to rush towards Lin Lang. The casino owner hurriedly asked a few guys to hold him back, and looked at Lin Lang dumbfounded, "My brother Lin, you know Man Niu's violent temper, so don't worry about it." Let me just say a few words, my casino can't stand your troubles." Turning his head, he patted Man Niu's shoulder again, "You too, you don't lose face once you lose, why are you so arrogant."
He wanted to please both sides, but neither side wanted to give him face. Man Niu glared at Lin Lang coldly, "If you have the guts, let's compete again tomorrow, don't be a coward!"
Lin Lang smiled contemptuously, "Comparison is what you say, why?"
"That's all!" Man Niu took out a thick stack of banknotes and slapped them on the table fiercely, "Here are 1 taels of banknotes, as long as you promise to fight me again tomorrow, these are all yours." !"
Man Niu has always had a good face, today he was kicked off the ring by Lin Lang in full view of everyone, and he lost all face. How could he swallow this bad breath, even if it cost him all his belongings, he had to compete with him again. Dignity won back!
"So generous?" Lin Lang raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a hint of embarrassment, "It's not a question of money, I set a principle for myself, and I won't fight a second time with a defeated subordinate..."
Man Niu took out another stack of banknotes, "Another 5000 taels!"
"Deal!" Lin Lang took the bank note, "Since you want to compare with sincerity, Lin will accompany you again!"
The casino owner who stood by and couldn't get in the way: "..."
Why does he think that winning or losing the next game has already been determined by IQ...
The next day's match was a little bit thrilling, but it wasn't Lin Lang who was shocked, but Man Niu.
He spent 5000 taels in exchange for the chance to fight again. In order to win back face, of course he will do everything he can, as long as he can win.
The casino stipulated that no weapons could be used in the arena, but Man Niu had already figured out the loopholes in their body search after staying for so many days, and secretly brought in a poisonous needle soaked in Mongolian sweat medicine, trying to assassinate Lin Lang.
However, Lin Lang had been on guard for a long time. At the moment when he was about to stab the needle, he didn't know what method he used to make his poisonous needle turn around without anyone noticing it, and stabbed at him instead. Own!
Man Niu, who was thrown out of the stage again after being tricked by himself: "..."
This man can do magic tricks!This is cheating!
Lin Lang silently smiled at him, haven't you heard of stealing the sky and changing the day? It's a small magic in the cultivation world. There is no spiritual power in this world, and its effect is less than [-]%. Still a breeze.
Losing again in public, Man Niu was not as angry as the first time, and he was even a little thankful that he used Mongolian sweat medicine instead of the poison that sealed his throat with blood, otherwise he might have poisoned himself.
In a fair and honest manner, he fought twice but failed to please him. Man Niu finally recognized that Lin Lang had some abilities, but he was never in the mood to admit defeat. Even more impatient, he summoned several brothers who had seen blood on the road, and blocked Lin Lang in an alley beside the road at night.
He bullied others like this, but it was exactly what Lin Lang wanted.Lin Lang beat up the group of people who came up to find fault with their noses and swollen faces, tied them into a string of gourds, and dragged them directly to the county government gate.Didn't magistrate Chen say that fighting in the ring is what you want, and he doesn't take care of people who die. Now it's in broad daylight that the more bullying the less, he can always take care of it.
Lin Lang beat the drum in front of the county government office, attracting countless crowds of onlookers, and then County Magistrate Chen came out in disheveled clothes, and Lin Lang hurried up to meet him, "Master Chen, these little thieves are sneaking around at night, attacking innocent passers-by and trying to Violence, the grassroots couldn't bear the hard work of the adults in handling the case, so they were all arrested, please deal with the adults!"
The county magistrate Chen, who was still intoxicated in the concubine's gentle hometown, was called out by Lin Lang's beating of gongs and drums: "...Thank you so much."
He glanced at the group of people tied to the ground, headed by Man Niu, and his heart skipped a beat. These are well-known bullies in Zhao'an County. They usually bully the township a lot, but they have never been punished. Of course, it is because There were people covering their backs, and even County Magistrate Chen accepted their management.
But now Lin Lang was staring at him in front of his eyes, as if he could immediately pounce on him as long as he said "I will not accept it for the time being"... This Mr. Lin is under the protection of the Patriarch of the Lu family, so he can't afford to provoke him.
Anyway, if both sides want to offend people, then just handle it impartially. County magistrate Chen slapped the gavel, "Who is under the hall, quickly tell your name, confess your crime, and don't even think about hiding anything!"
……
Hearing that Man Niu and his gang found faults and found a hard fault, they were taken to the county government and served in prison. The ordinary people in Zhao'an County felt very happy, and there was finally a reason for bullying the good and fearing the evil.
Especially those whose families unfortunately have one or two unscrupulous descendants who are addicted to gambling, they all use the matter of the bull to teach the gamblers, "Let you gamble all day long! Be careful that one day you will go to prison like that bull!"
"Then what's the matter, Man Niu was arrested for beating people in private, you are lying!"
"What's the difference? Anyway, it's not good if you run into gambling. If you dare to go to that Laoshizi casino, I will break your dog legs!"
Regardless of whether it is unreasonable or not, anyway, after Man Niu was arrested, the business of the casino became much colder. As the "culprit", Lin Lang decided not to go any further. He thought that people from the casino would come to trouble him, but who knew Did not come.
He has stayed in Zhao'an County for some time, the identity issue has been settled, and he has made some money. It is time to leave and proceed to the next step of the plan.
Before leaving, he specially went to the Lu family's other courtyard in Zhao'an County to say goodbye to the Lu family.
Hearing that Lin Lang was visiting, Lu Jingye quickly explained the affairs at hand and came to see him in person. His wife Chu Xiyun also brought Abao over.
"You are Mr. Lin, right?" Mrs. Lu greeted Lin Lang gently, "A few days ago, A Bao troubled you to take care of me."
After all, she is the Taifu's own sister. Mrs. Lu smelled of books from head to toe. Lin Lang thought he was a vulgar person, so he could only smile at her innocently, "It should be, no trouble."
He was rather curious, how could such a lady from a great family marry into a merchant's family, but it became clear after looking at the way the couple got along with each other. There was a tacit understanding in every look, gesture, and gesture, which made others just want to sigh at themselves superfluous.
Even A Bao had the same idea as him, seeing his parents standing together and discussing what kind of tea to drink with affection, A Bao slipped to Lin Lang's side and sighed abruptly: "Oh, sometimes I wonder if my birth was an accident."
Lin Lang was amused by the appearance of other people, "Why do you say that?"
"I just think I'm superfluous," Ah Bao puffed up his cheeks, "Look at them, you can't see others in your eyes."
Lin Lang patted him on the head, "You are the only child of your parents, and of course you are the one who loves you the most."
"That's not true, Uncle Lang, let me tell you in secret. The reason why I ran away from home last time was because of the anger of the two of them! Didn't it just accidentally break their token of love? My mother has been hiding Cry, my father ignored me for ten days! Uncle Lang, do you think it's too much for adults like them?"
Lin Lang: "..."
This question is beyond the scope.
Lu Jingye and his wife got tired of it for a while, and finally remembered the son and guests they had forgotten. Mrs. Lu blushed and went into the back room to ask someone to prepare a meal. Lu Jingye cupped her hands at Lin Lang, "I haven't seen you for a few days, brother Lin The style is still there."
Lin Lang exchanged business with him for a while, explaining that he came to say goodbye.
"Leaving so soon?" Lu Jingye felt a little regretful, "I wonder what Brother Lin's plan is next?"
Lin Lang didn't hide his thoughts, "Lin is going to join the army."
"Join the army?" Lu Jingye was not only stunned, "Did Brother Lin know something?"
Um?Hearing what he said, it seemed like there was something else he should know?Lin Lang paused calmly, "Brother Lu, why did you say that?"
Lu Jingye winked, let Abao go out to play alone, and ordered all the servants to quit, and then said to Lin Lang with a heavy expression: "I promised to investigate the Dragon Phoenix Casino for Brother Lin, and I finally fulfilled my mission. I found out something. looks."
Lin Lang cupped his hands at him, "Brother Lu, thank you."
"I don't have to work hard," Lu Jingye showed a trace of shame on his face, "If Brother Lin's enemies are them, Lu can only advise, be careful in everything and act cautiously."
"What is it..."
Lu Jingye lowered his voice, "Dragon Phoenix Casino has semicolons everywhere, and the owner behind it is the same person as the Longyun Casino in Beijing, but Lu's people found that there was another person standing behind them. It is under one person and above ten thousand people."
Lin Lang's eyes flickered slightly, "Brother Lu said, could it be that... Prime Minister Qu?"
Lu Jingye nodded slightly, "Exactly."
After going around and around, everything is connected together. Could this be the magic of the plot?Lin Lang was also a little surprised.
Prime Minister Qu is also very important in the original plot of this book. The protagonist Lin Ze has two most important nobles in his life. The mentor who inspired him to embark on an official career was Prime Minister Qu.
Lu Jingye took a sip of tea and said again: "Prime Minister Qu has been running the court for decades, and everyone in the world is his disciples. Mrs. Lu can only avoid the limelight and dare not continue to investigate. Brother Lin please forgive me."
"Where is it, brother Lu is too polite, and Lin is very grateful for telling Lin about this."
Lu Jingye considered for a moment, nodded and said: "Prime Minister Qu is the top civil servant in the world, Brother Lin avoids his edge, joins the army and takes the route of a military officer, it is also a different way."
Lin Lang said ambiguously: "Lin is alone, and his talents and knowledge are not comparable to others, so he can only rely on his brute strength to fight."
His mission in this world is to prevent Lin Ze from going to a high position and bring disasters to the world, but Lin Lang is unwilling to stay in the Lin family with Lin Zexu and the Snake. His plan is to get more success in this world before Lin Ze becomes famous. Great power, when the time comes to clean up Lin Ze, it will be within his grasp.
After all, Lin Ze is the protagonist of the world. Even without his elder brother as a tool man, there will still be other opportunities to find him and help him get ahead.
Although with Lin Lang's memory and the extensive knowledge he has brought from various worlds, if he calms down and studies the Four Books and Five Classics of this world, he may not be able to make a name for himself through the imperial examinations and compete with Lin Ze.
However, Lin Lang has never liked the intrigue and flattery in the officialdom, and he can't write all kinds of eulogizing articles. If he reluctantly participates in the imperial examination, he may be the first to make himself irritable. It suits his temper.
"Brother Lin is too modest," Lu Jingye sighed, "That's okay, with Brother Lin's skills, he will definitely have a bright future in the military camp."
