Chapter 66: When the fear is strong, the anger is boundless
In front of Yang Lin, the dead soldier was still there, but the tip of the spear in his hand was still very close to his throat.
He gently held the tip of the gun, walked out slowly, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Jiang fell off the horse in a round roll, hugged him and shouted: "Tiji, the villain came a step too late, putting Tiji in danger, villain!"
Yang Lin waved his hand to stop him. The situation on the field had reversed. Song Jiang brought back half of the elite soldiers of the Long Live Battalion, as well as a group of Shandong men from three mountains and five mountains.
The soldiers, who were not very strong in the first place, found it difficult to resist. Most of them dropped their weapons and surrendered. Lu Qianen fiercely slipped Zhou Hongti over and threw him to the ground.
Yang Lin was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked him in the face several times, causing a dull pain in his toes.
"You bastard, I almost lost my life in your hands."
Song Jiang brought the person to him and introduced him: "Tiju, this is Hua Rong, a native of San'a Township, Baoying County. He is a close friend of mine."
Hua Rong cupped his fists and said, "I've seen lifting before."
Yang Lin nodded. It turned out that Hua Rong in history was not the Wuzhi Village of Qingfeng Village, but his nickname was indeed Xiao Li Guang. The arrow technique just now showed Yang Lin his martial arts.
"This is Guan Sheng, Zhang Heng, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi."
Listening to the familiar names one by one, Yang Lin suddenly realized that no wonder there were people in the Water Margin with average abilities, but they were selected into the Thirty-Six Stars of Tiangang. Just like the brothers Jie Zhen Jie Bao, it turned out that they had historical prototypes.
"Since he is a brother of Song Gongming, he has joined my Long Live Battalion and obeys the military orders. Sooner or later he will be able to succeed."
Everyone looked happy, they were entering the civil service without taking the exam, and they were different from the common people before.
Never underestimate the fatal attraction of an official position to these grassroots officials in ancient China.
Yang Lin looked at Song Jiang and saw a group of young men in messy clothes behind him. There were probably two or three hundred of them.
Song Jiang looked embarrassed and explained: "Tiji, these are"
Yang Lin waved his hand and said: "When I employ people, I will forgive you all. Follow me well from now on. It's not as good as making a living in the mountains and forests, living on the knife's edge. Even if you die, you will be a decent person, and you can enter your ancestor's grave with a clean body."
"
Hundreds of people knelt down on the ground one by one and saluted Yang Lin. The Song Dynasty apologized and repented before kneeling down. Yang Lin accepted it with a normal expression, which was regarded as giving them a new life.
"Follow me and fight back to Jeju, except for these birdmen, to avenge the dead and injured brothers."
A group of people escorted Zhou Hong to clear the way and falsely opened the gate of Jezhou City. Yang Lin immediately sent people to guard the gates of the city to catch turtles in an urn.
He carried the knife himself, took Song Jiang, Lu Wang, Lu Qian and other confidants and went straight to Li Chongwen's house.
At Li Chongwen's house, officials from all over Jeju were gathered. The key confidants of their gang happened to be waiting for news, so they came to catch them all.
As for the small fish and shrimps below, Yang Lin does not intend to investigate deeply. Everything cannot be perfect. If we really fight corruption here, we will not be able to eliminate it in three or four years.
Li Chongwen was no longer as elegant as before. A sharp steel knife was placed on his neck, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.
Yang Lin was naked and his clothes were scorched by the fire. He had been left outside the city a long time ago.
With the help of a torch, he saw Yang Lin approaching from a distance. Li Chongwen begged for mercy in a high-pitched voice: "Imperial envoy, I"
Before he finished speaking, Yang Lin rushed over angrily and punched him in the face.
Li Chongwen crouched on the ground in pain, but Yang Lin couldn't help but kicked him to the ground.
He raised his foot and kicked him hard between his legs, scolding him while kicking:
"I asked you to set fire to me!"
"I asked you to poke me with a gun!"
"I'll let you murder the imperial envoy!"
Song Jiang felt a chill, his lower body tightened, and he whispered to the side: "If you lift him up, you will die if you kick him again. He is an official of the imperial court and will be taken to Bianliang for punishment."
Song Jiang worked in the Yamen, and of course he knew the rules of the Song Dynasty. Officials of this level must be sentenced by the Ministry of Punishment.
Yang Lin stepped on his neck with his toe and spat: "Tonight, we will search the house first."
The Li Mansion is so big that all the female relatives in the inner courtyard have been gathered together, making them look miserable and miserable.
Soon after, they saw a shirtless young man, leading several burly men, rushing towards the inner courtyard holding torches.
"Who cares?"
A group of people pushed a white-skinned old man out. Yang Lin stepped forward and slapped him. According to He Tao, this black-hearted butler was the worst. He was responsible for helping his master to do evil. He even arranged many evil things.
.
The butler was slapped so badly that his eyes were filled with stars. Yang Lin shouted in his ear: "Take me to the dog officer's treasury, or I will stab you to death."
Song Jiang felt cold again. What kind of champion is this? What kind of imperial envoy is this?
However, a few people in the Long Live Camp were very calm. Isn't that what King Yang Yan's son should be like? If he was a scholarly scholar, everyone would have to wonder if he was Yang Tong's son.
Yang Lin walked around the gate of hell tonight, which completely aroused the anger in his heart. No one is afraid of death. Death is the biggest fear. When fear reaches the extreme, it will lead to boundless anger.
The old housekeeper peed his pants and crawled with them to a separate courtyard. Usually only he and Li Chongwen could enter here, not even Li Chongwen's wife and concubines.
On the rockery in the courtyard, pushing aside the weeds, there was a handle. After turning it hard, a secret door was opened.
When the fire light shined, the hall was filled with gold and pearls, which made people feel astonished.
"Who knows here?" Yang Lin asked quietly.
"Only the master and the villain know." The butler said flatteringly, hoping that through this great achievement, he could be exempted from the guilt.
Several people present exclaimed in unison. Yang Lin turned the handle and closed the door. He slapped the housekeeper on the head and cursed: "Why did you bring us here in the middle of the night? There is nothing here. Are you kidding your grandpa?"
"Grandpa, the imperial envoy, clearly knows that all of my property is indeed here, and there are also some scattered silver coins and land deeds."
Yang Lin took out the knife, stabbed the old housekeeper in the stomach, and cursed: "How dare you speak so harshly."
The old housekeeper vomited black blood. Lu Qian grabbed him by the collar and threw him into the artificial pool. He disappeared with a splash.
Lu Wangdao: "Tijiu, I will call for people to come and pull our wounded out."
Song Jiang was completely numb when he came here. Tonight he saw what kind of person the new champion of the Song Dynasty was.
No wonder he could accept the strong men he brought to the mountains and forests. It turned out that he and his men were ten or a hundred times worse than those people.
The summer night in Jeju City is still hot and hot. The stars and moon in the sky indicate that tomorrow will be sunny and the sun will still be scorching.
However, the people who are sleeping in the cool air in the courtyard at this moment do not know that Jeju will be completely different tomorrow.
