The moment Liu Liying flew into the scabbard, Lin Zhao stepped on a flying sword Hongye and rushed down the Yellow Crane Tower. He flew straight down and kicked the scar-faced man backwards with a fierce kick. This man
He is a martial artist of the Four Realms, and a martial artist of the Four Realms dressed as a farmer, somewhat regards others as fools. In the next second, Lin Zhao pointed with his fingertips, and the flying sword and bright moon rushed out of Yunjian Lake, "Poof"
With one sound, a second-level warrior who had been beaten extremely fiercely was shot through the eyebrows, and a rain of blood exploded behind his head. Then Lin Zhao leaned down and hit him in the chest, and took the opportunity to put a bag of green clam money into him.
In his pocket, when the man staggered back and fell to the ground, there was already a corpse.
"Shuashuashua——"
Lin Zhao was merciless in his attack. Among the people who besieged Lu Huaining, anyone with a slight bit of cultivation was not spared. Five fairy swords and twelve ancient swords of the wilderness were piled up, constantly penetrating the bodies of everyone, turning them into
One corpse after another, and they kept doing tricks, and finally, the flying sword passed by in a majestic way, directly piercing the throat of the scar-faced man who led it, and added a punch. The moment the punch was struck,
, put a bag of flying fish money into his pocket.
Everyone was stunned. Not only were the people stunned, but Lu Huaining was also stunned. How could he have thought that Lin Zhao would kill so decisively, without any hesitation when killing people.
"Everyone stand back!"
Lin Zhao raised his hand and waved, and suddenly eighteen flying swords formed a fan shape, with the sword tips pointed at a group of common people, protecting the poor Academician Lu who was covered with scars behind him.
"Dear elders!"
Lin Zhao clasped his fists at everyone and said: "My name is Bai Yi. I am a swordsman from the mountains. I have practiced with my master for many years and finally left the mountains to travel around the world. Today when I visited the Yellow Crane Tower and saw the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but have to take action.
Please don’t be deceived anymore!"
He pointed at Lu Huaining behind him, who had bruises on his face and even bloody holes dug by a rake, and said angrily: "The dignified bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion, the dignified second-grade minister of household affairs, you are imposing your fists, feet, and weapons on me.
When he was with you, he didn't order his subordinates to kill you all. Could such an official be a corrupt official?! Why is Lu Huaining protecting your lives, but you don't think about Lu Huaining? "
Looking at the crowd, he pointed at the corpses on the ground and said: "Everyone killed by me in white clothes deserves to be killed. Do you really think they are ordinary people like you? You are wrong, they are just subordinates of corrupt officials!
"
As he spoke, Lin Zhao stepped forward and took out a bag of coins from the scarred-faced man's waist. He poured them out, and there were flying fish coins one after another. There were as many as 50 coins. He picked them up.
One of them sneered: "Do you know what this is? One of the flying fish coins on the mountain can support a family of four for a hundred years. Do you think a person who grows crops can have so much money?"
"and this."
He kicked a corpse over, took out a money bag from his arms, poured out a pile of green clam money, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know what this is called? Green clam money
, the coins used by the gods on the mountain, a green clam coin is enough to support a family of four for a year, how can someone like him have so much money!?"
As he spoke, he opened the corpses one by one and found bags of coins. His face was full of sneers and disappointment, and he pointed at a group of common people sadly and said: "You, you are being used by those corrupt officials to beat up Lu Dajun like this."
Honest officials, don’t your consciences hurt? Mr. Lu suffered a lot of injustice in order to save your farmland, and in the end he was beaten with fists and kicks by you. Those who just beat Mr. Lu, have your consciences been eaten by dogs!?
Are you so willing to be taken advantage of by heinous and corrupt officials?!"
As he spoke, Lin Zhao was upright and awe-inspiring, like a mountain swordsman who hated evil. Lu Huaining, two household inspectors, and a group of servants from the Vice Minister's Mansion were all dumbfounded.
"Plop..."
An old farmer holding a rake knelt down on his knees, with tears streaming down his face. He bowed his head and knelt down towards Lu Huaining and said, "Master Lu, it's us... we are too stupid to be taken advantage of and hurt Master Lu like this.
We all deserve to die, we all deserve to die. Bachelor Lu, please draw your sword and kill me. I have absolutely no complaints..."
In the crowd, the common people knelt together.
Lu Huaining hurriedly stepped forward, helped the old man up, and said: "Old man, please don't do this... As an official of the imperial court, why should I be an official if I don't make decisions for the people? You have just been deceived by villains.
How can I, Lu Huaining, harm you? Everyone, get up quickly, get up quickly, I, Lu Huaining, can't bear it..."
Soon after, everyone stood up one after another, and Lu Huaining saluted the people and said: "Lu Huaining still said the same thing, everyone must not be in a hurry to sell their land, help each other, and we will be able to tide over the difficulties. I, Lu Huaining, wish to everyone
I guarantee that the disaster relief money and food will arrive in Jiangzhou soon, please give me a little time."
An old man wiped his tears: "Master Lu is an extremely upright official. We all believe in Master Lu. Master Lu will definitely be able to save us..."
…
Afternoon, Jiangzhou City, government office.
In the study, only Lu Huaining and Lin Zhao, Chi Zhongyu, Chi Yuran, Liu Liying and others were guarding the lobby.
"Young Master Lin."
Lu Huaining turned around and knelt down to salute Lin Zhao: "Bow down to Lu Huaining!"
Lin Zhao has sharp eyes and quick hands, and almost instantly entered into the artistic conception of the "Jinma Fengqiang Style" with a thought. After becoming a martial artist in the third realm, the "Jinma Fengqiang Style" seemed to be "awakened", and the fist intention
Strong, so according to this rule, when Lin Zhao becomes a martial artist in the fourth realm, the fist intention of the fourth punch should also be awakened. Although it has not formed a specific skill, it can be used, which invisibly increases Lin Zhao's strength.
Zhao's actual combat power, and if one day he becomes a Nine Realm Yunyou realm warrior and the farmer's Nine Fist fists are fully unleashed, then he will be truly invincible.
"Master Lu."
Lin Zhao helped Lu Huaining up and said with a smile: "Actually, I was just doing it out of necessity."
"Um."
Lu Huaining frowned and said: "Actually, Mr. Lu knows that those people are being used by others, and he also knows that there are people with evil intentions hiding among the people, but... Lu Huaining cannot kill as decisively as the young hero, just from this
From one point of view, the young hero might think that I, Lu Huaining, am too pedantic and just a nerd."
"Not really."
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Master Lu is a bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion and a knowledgeable scholar. I would like to ask, Master Lu should also know that I used some means to hide my green clam money and flying fish money.
into the arms of those corpses to prove the fact that they are the minions of corrupt officials. Based on this method alone, will Mr. Lu feel that Lin Zhao is not aboveboard enough?"
Lu Huaining looked solemn and said: "The starting point of the young hero is good, so this matter is not necessarily fair and aboveboard. Lu Huaining can sense that although the young hero is a swordsman, he is also half a Confucian disciple. Since he is a Confucian disciple
, wouldn’t it be somewhat inappropriate to use such means to confirm the identities of these people?”
"This will make the truth clear."
Lin Zhao crossed his arms and said with a smile on his face: "Those who hide among the people to assassinate adults, can they be regarded as villains? Judging from the fact that villains judge their deeds and ignore their hearts, it is not a pity for these people to die, and as a person, I
A half-Confucian disciple pursues the idea that a gentleman should be cautious in his own right, restrain himself and return to propriety, but in the final analysis, it is still the same sentence. A gentleman's mind is not about his deeds. The various methods I have used today are just to treat others in their own way. I feel like this
At the first level, I can get by. On the contrary, if I remain conservative and don't take any action, seeing that Mr. Lu wants to preserve his reputation, then it would be a real backsliding. Why should a scholar be controlled by others? Why should he be bullied? In this world
There is no such reason. We should indeed be gentle, courteous and tolerant to good people, but I don’t think it is too much to be harsher against evil people.”
Lu Huaining smiled and nodded: "Lu is taught..."
"What's your next plan, sir?" Lin Zhao asked.
Lu Huaining frowned and said: "I can't stay in Jiangzhou Mansion any longer. I, a mere Lu Huaining, can't do anything even if I stay in Jiangzhou Mansion, so I plan to go back to Beijing and tell His Majesty the two southern states.
Given the current situation, if we do not stop promoting the conversion of grain into rice, I am afraid that the land of plenty and plenty in the south will become starved to death."
"Do you think it can be done?" Lin Zhao smiled.
"Whether it works or not, you have to try."
"OK."
Lin Zhao nodded: "I'm afraid this journey will be very dangerous. I will accompany you all the way and go to Ning'an City with you. It's just right. In fact, the next stop on my tour of Baihua Tianxia is also Ning'an City."
"good."
Lu Huaining raised his hands and saluted: "In that case, thank you so much, young hero!"
…
evening.
The Lingnan Chi family dispatched a Fuyu dragon boat to escort Lu Huaining north along the river to the capital city of Ning'an. Lin Zhao and Liu Liying were still arranged in the VIP room upstairs. As for Lu Huaining, they lived on the first floor to avoid being too public.
Two days later, we arrived in Ning'an City.
Everyone changed horses. Liu Liying disguised herself a little for Lin Zhao. She was still dressed in white, carrying a sword behind her back and riding a white horse, but her appearance was completely different from that of the young swordsman in Qinglu Inn before.
, after finishing all this, Liu Liying hid in the scabbard again and followed Lin Zhao to escort Lu Huaining back to the capital.
At noon, without stopping and without even returning to Lu Huaining's mansion, the group directly escorted Lu Huaining into the palace to meet with Emperor Xu Chen of the Xu family.
The capital was bustling, but there was no time to travel. After entering the depths of the palace, the emperor summoned Lu Huaining inside the Wenhua Pavilion, while Lin Zhao, Chi Zhongyu, Chi Yuran and other accompanying monks were quietly watching outside the Wenhua Pavilion.
Not far away, there is the Imperial Forest Army with swords like a forest and bright flags and armor.
"Will it go well?"
The fish in the pond looked at the Wenhua Pavilion and felt quite uneasy: "With the prestige of the Lu University Scholar in the court, he might really be able to persuade the emperor."
"Disaster."
Lin Zhao also looked at Wenhua Pavilion and said: "The emperor could summon Lu Huaining in many places, but he chose Wenhua Pavilion. Don't you think there is a profound meaning in it?"
The fish in the pond frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy.
