Chen Tiehu was very grateful when he heard this and said: "Is this true? Miss Lin, do you really have a way to save us?"
Lin Jingmo replied: "If it is really Shang Shixu who leads the troops, I still have some confidence that I can help you."
At this moment, several people heard what seemed like horses coming, so they went out after hearing the sound. Sure enough, someone wearing official clothes came riding a horse.
Lin Jingmo followed his gaze and saw the leading official jumped off his horse and shouted: "Who allowed you to set up a porridge shed here?"
Chen Tiehu walked out of the crowd and said: "Master Zhizhou! Isn't the control too lenient? It is not illegal to set up a porridge shed!"
Zhou Mohan, the magistrate of Nanling, raised his eyes coldly when he heard this, used a whip to push away the people in front of him, walked directly to Chen Tiehu, and said: "It is indeed not illegal to set up a porridge shed, but it is safe to provide meals to those rebels and rebels.
What's wrong!" He turned around and asked, "Did you set up the porridge shed?"
Chen Tiehu immediately replied: "Not bad!"
Seeing this, Lin Jingmo hurriedly walked out of the crowd and said: "Master Zhizhou! I had people build the porridge shed, and I also bought the rice and grain. It's just that the porridge shed supports some
The villagers and farmers who were affected by the disaster and had no food to eat are not the rebels and rioters you call them!"
"Unbridled!" Zhou Mohan raised his riding whip towards the open space, as if thinking of the warning. The people around him quickly dispersed out of fear. He raised his whip and said in the direction of Lin Jingmo: "Who are you?
Do you dare to stay with these traitors from the imperial court and pay for their food?"
After saying that, he raised his riding whip again and hit the porridge shed directly, knocking the roof off directly!
"No!" Lin Jingmo watched helplessly as the porridge shed collapsed little by little, and the food that had just been cooked was knocked to the ground.
Zhou Mohan said angrily: "These people are not worthy of picking up a job! Who are you? How dare you collude with the chaos of the party? Your heart is to be punished!"
"You are the ones who did the wrong thing, right?" Lin Jingmo looked at the food being wasted, and felt indescribable unwillingness in his heart. He remembered that there were still many people who had not eaten, so he said viciously: "As a state, you
Chief, you didn’t distribute the grain and silver sent by the imperial court to them, you knew clearly that there was a disaster in Nanling but you didn’t report it, and now someone is paying for them to eat, and you are trying to obstruct them in every possible way, what are your intentions? Your conscience is being tortured by a dog
Can you eat it?"
After hearing this, Zhou Mohan angrily whipped Lin Jingmo. If Chen Tiehu hadn't rushed over and knocked her down, his face would have been smashed by him!
He moved closer to Lin Jingmo and said, "Chen Tiehu? I heard that you are the leader of these rebels? Are you crazy? You dare to challenge me?"
Before Chen Tiehu could answer, Lin Jingmo said: "You haven't answered my question just now! Why did you knock down the porridge shed? Are you corrupt and perverting the law, trying to use the suffering of the people of Nanling as a stepping stone for your promotion and fortune!"<
/p>
Zhou Mohan squinted his eyes fiercely and looked at Lin Jingmo, and said slowly: "You crazy woman, you are talking nonsense! Who are you?"
Seeing this situation, Chen Tiehu immediately hid Lin Jingmo behind his back and said, "Master Zhizhou, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have set up a porridge shed here. Please punish me!"
"Punishment? Huh..." Zhou Mohan got on the horse again, then waved his hand behind him and said: "Since you said you want to be punished, then come with me to the prison!"
"This..." After receiving the order, several officers and soldiers immediately jumped off their horses and walked towards Lin Jingmo and Chen Tiehu.
At this moment, a large force arrived in the city.
Lin Jingmo followed his gaze and forgot that the person leading the army was none other than Lu Feicheng.
Lu Feicheng rode a tall horse into the city. He saw officers and soldiers gathering again, so he rode over leisurely and asked Zhou Mohan: "Who are you? Where is the governor of Nanling now?"
Zhou Mohan quickly dismounted and knelt under Lu Feicheng's horse, saying, "The villain is Zhou Mohan, the magistrate of Nanling."
Lu Feicheng tilted his head, and then he saw clearly the person kneeling in front of the horse, and said, "What happened? Why is Master Zhizhou here?"
Zhou Mohan said: "I heard that someone had set up a porridge shack outside the Chenghuang Temple to feed the rebels, so I sent someone to find out what was going on, but I didn't know that there was really a rebel party here."
"Rebellious party?" Lu Feicheng looked in the direction of the porridge shed and found that the person standing outside the shed was actually Lin Jingmo!
"Sister Jingmo!" Lu Feicheng was overjoyed, got off his horse, and ran in the direction of Lin Jingmo.
Lin Jingmo bowed and saluted: "General Lu."
Lu Feicheng was stunned and asked: "I haven't seen you for many days, why is my sister so unfamiliar with me?"
Thinking of the unpleasantness of the last meeting, Lin Jingmo was already disappointed with Lu Feicheng. He once thought that he was someone he could trust for life, but now it seems that he was treated with admiration after three days apart. At that time, he was still the traitor Lu Anmin.
His son actually led troops to Nanling to suppress the bandits?
Lin Jingmo lowered his head and stopped looking at him, and replied: "General Lu's words are serious."
Lu Feicheng knew why she was deliberately distant at the moment, so he reached out to help her up and said, "Sister Jingmo, why are you here?"
Lin Jingmo replied: "Of course we set up a tent here to give porridge and provide relief...to help the rebels and rebels."
"How could it be?" Lu Feicheng turned to Zhou Mohan and said, "Although Lin Yuanzhi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is dead, he has been an honest, fair and selfless official all his life. As his daughter, how could Jingmo collude with others to cause chaos?
Party, you must know that the late Queen is Miss Lin’s sister!”
Zhou Mohan lowered his head with a guilty conscience after hearing this.
Lu Feicheng frowned and looked at Zhou Mohan's riding crop, then turned to Lin Jingmo and asked: "Sister Jingmo, are you injured?"
Lin Jingmo looked at Chen Tiehu, who had just blocked her behind him, and said: "I was not injured, but my friend was injured by the riding crop of this Lord Zhizhou!"
Hearing this, Zhou Mohan quickly raised his head and said: "General Lu Mingjian! This Chen Tiehu is a gangster from Chenjiazhuang. If he hadn't taken the lead in making trouble, there might not have been so many people rebelling!"
Lin Jingmo heard this and said: "In that case, there was no armed resistance at all, but you refused to open the warehouse to release grain, so they started the uprising, right? So there are no unruly thieves at all! It's you who have gone too far.
He is so greedy that he will not even let go of the food for disaster relief!"
After hearing this, Zhou Mohan knelt on the ground and crawled towards Lu Feicheng, saying: "General Lu! You can't just listen to this girl's words! She has no evidence, and she has red lips and white teeth and is going to slander this official! You can't do it because of you
We have known each other before, but just because she is Lin Shangshu’s daughter, we can’t believe her words!”
