There was chaos in the courtyard, with sticks and fists dancing, and blood and screams flying.
When it comes to fighting, who is the opponent of these gangsters on the street? Begging for food on the street and fighting are as common as daily life. The streets of Hangzhou are their battlefield. Moreover, these people are very vicious in their fights, and they are just asking for something.
Defeat the enemy with one move. And these people are very measured. After all, in a street fight, it is nothing to bleed and break bones. If someone is killed, it will not be easy to live with. So in the long-term actual combat, these guys have summed up a set of
An effective but not fatal approach.
On the other hand, looking at the people brought by Lin Song and Lin Run, how could the twenty shopkeepers be expected to fight? Seeing the fighting scene, their legs and feet were already weak. The twenty or thirty guards and servants of the Lin family who came with them
, they are not hired specifically to fight. The boys are just running errands to serve people. Although they have some strength, they are still novices when it comes to fighting. The dozen or so nursing staff do have some skills, but it is a pity that they are not able to use swords.
In a life-and-death battle with swords, they couldn't come here with weapons, they could only rely on fists and sticks.
Lin Song and Lin Run didn't expect that this would happen today. They brought people here just to scare Lin Jue. They thought there was no need to take action. Lin Jue was afraid that he had already admitted his mistake. Therefore, they did not send the Lin family to
A few good martial arts practitioners who were usually responsible for the safety of the family leader called over. Of course, they were afraid that calling these people would arouse Lin Boyong's suspicion and spoil things.
Because of this, the fight seemed fierce, but in fact it was a one-sided beating from the moment the security team started. The gangsters from the security team beat a group of shopkeepers and nurses with fists and bloody sticks.
The boys howled like ghosts. Lin Song and Lin Run screamed at the top of their lungs at first, but soon they realized that the momentum was wrong. Their people fell down like gourds on the ground, and they were no match for them. Lin Jue held a wooden stick in his hand.
When Gun and Lin Hu both rushed in front of them, looking at the stick stained red with blood, Lin Song and Lin Run screamed in fright, squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and almost wet their pants in fear.
However, Lin Jue's stick did not fall on them. When Lin Run bravely peeked through the cracks in his palms, he found that Lin Jue and Lin Hu had bypassed the two of them and waved their sticks at the shopkeepers behind them.
They were beaten and beaten randomly. Lin Song and Lin Run let out a long sigh of relief, and their bodies were wet with sweat.
Of course Lin Jue is measured. He will not lay a finger on Lin Song or Lin Run. Once he touches these two people, things will change. Just beat the shopkeeper, beat the boys in the nursing home, but those shopkeepers are
Those who were fired were beaten because they were accused of breaking into private houses. The boys in the nursing home were disobeying their master's orders and helping outsiders, so there was ample reason to beat them.
After the meal, only the people on Lin Jue's side were standing in the yard. The dozens of people groaning and rolling on the ground were a group of dismissed shopkeepers and a group of Lin family nurses and servants. They were all one by one.
Their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, some had blood on their heads, and some had blood on their eyes, mouths, and noses. They looked extremely miserable. But they were all alive and kicking, their hands and legs were not broken, and every part of their body was missing.
This was the genius of the security team. On the contrary, Lin Jue and Lin Hu were the most aggressive. Although they were armed with pine sticks and could not kill anyone, their uncle and nephew fired eight or nine gourds. Those few
The head injury suffered by Lin Jue and Lin Hu was the most serious.
When Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian got the news and rushed to the yard of Lin's Pier No. 1 shipyard out of breath, the fight had already ended. When Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian stepped into the yard, what they saw was a group of people tied up and dejected.
A person with broken blood. Lin Jue was sitting with his legs crossed under the shade of a tree, drinking tea. Beside him were dozens of big men with their hands on their waists in a menacing manner, and some of them were still holding blood-stained sticks in their hands.
Lin Jue saw Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian coming in panting, put down the tea cup and stood up. Before he could speak, Lin Song and Lin Run, who were squatting on the ground holding their heads, let out a shrill wail at the same time, rolling and crawling.
rushed over.
"Dad, second uncle, you are here. You have to make the decision for us. Lin Jue is going to rebel. My Lin family is in ruins. The third-bedroom bastard is going to cause chaos and kill people."
"Yes, dad and uncle, if you are one step too late, we will be beaten to death by him. Do our Lin family still have family laws? Does the Zhou Dynasty still have royal laws? Dad and uncle, you have to make the decision for us.
ah."
Lin Song and Lin Run howled like pigs, rushed up and hugged Lin Boyong's legs, crying with tears streaming down their faces. A group of fired shopkeepers who had been beaten with bruises and swollen faces also started crying, and the scene suddenly became a mess.
.
Lin Boyong's face was ashen, and he felt angry when he saw his two sons crying and shouting in a deep voice: "Get up, how can you behave like this?"
Lin Song and Lin Run hurriedly stopped their lamentations and slowly got up from the ground. Their hair was messy, their faces were stained with dust and blood, and their bodies were as dirty as beggars. They didn't look like gentlemen at all.
"Who can tell me what's going on?" Lin Boyong asked in a deep voice, his face turned pale.
"Master Lin from Sanfang has beaten us like this. Master, you have to make the decision for us."
"Patriarch, we have worked loyally for the Lin family. This Lin Jue has just treated us like this on the first day he took office. Patriarch, please judge and uphold justice."
A group of shopkeepers started making loud noises.
Lin Boyong frowned and listened to these chatter, and soon he basically understood a simple fact. These were all done by Lin Jue. It was Lin Jue who beat up the shopkeepers and scared Lin Song and Lin Run.
After becoming like this, the anger in Lin Boyong's heart was rising. No matter how well-trained he was, he could not accept the facts in front of him.
Lin Jue walked over slowly, came to Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian, bowed his hands, and said in a deep voice: "My nephew has met the second uncle of the family."
Lin Boyong pointed at the people in front of him in a cold voice and said: "Lin Jue, what's going on? Are what they said true? You did all this?"
Lin Jue looked back at his great achievements, nodded and said, "My nephew ordered it."
Lin Boyong looked at Lin Jue's nonchalant look, and when he saw the blood on Lin Jue's cuffs and the blood on his hands that had not yet been washed, the anger in his heart was uncontrollable. He shouted sharply: "What have you done?
I asked you to be the chief manager, and this is how you became the chief manager? These people are all the bosses of my Lin family, how dare you beat them like this? Lin Song and Lin Run are your brothers, you even dare to beat them, you still understand
What does morality mean? Do you want to rebel?"
Lin Jue frowned and said, "Master, please listen to me."
"I don't want to listen. The facts are there. What's there to say? Lin Jue, Lin Jue, I thought you were a talent. Although you are a bastard of three wives, I don't dislike you. Let you be the big manager.
Family business, do you know how much I expect from you? This is what you give me in return? It seems that I am taking it for granted. You are born with stubbornness and cannot be disciplined. Maybe I shouldn’t be too fond of you.
Hope." Lin Boyong scolded angrily.
Lin Bonian whispered from the side: "Brother, you have to explain the whole story to him."
"Is there anything to explain? It's all you. If you hadn't said he was qualified, I wouldn't have agreed to let him take over as the chief steward temporarily. But look, what has he done? Second brother, are you there? After so many years in the capital, I haven't gained much experience in my vision. You do something like this to someone you like. In broad daylight, you beat the shopkeeper and the eldest son of the Lin Family Boat Shop in the courtyard of my Lin family boat shop. You still want to do it for him? Justify?" Lin Boyong scolded unceremoniously.
Lin Bonian was speechless for a moment, lowered his head with a rather ashamed look on his face and said, "Yes, that's what the elder brother taught me."
Lin Boyong turned around and shouted sharply at Lin Jue: "Why don't you order people to be released? Give them an apology? Why are you standing still?"
Lin Jue frowned and said nothing.
Lin Boyong said angrily: "What, you dare not even listen to what I say? Are you really going to rebel?"
Lin Jue sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "Master, please forgive me for my nephew's difficulty in obeying your orders."
"What?" Lin Boyong shook his body angrily and turned pale. Everyone around him was also shocked. Lin Jue actually dared to contradict the family leader in person. He was afraid that things would really turn upside down.
"Lin Jue, don't be rude." Lin Bonian shouted.
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "Second uncle, I'm not rude. I can't let these people go, and it's even more impossible to apologize. Not only will I not loosen their bonds, I will also send them to the government office to hold them accountable."
"What? You still want to go to the Yamen and think this matter is not big enough?" Lin Boyong shouted angrily.
Lin Jue said: "Master, when you came in, you scolded me indiscriminately. I didn't even have a chance to speak. Have you ever asked me, why did I attack them and kidnap them to see the officials?"
"The facts are there. Am I blind? These people were beaten to death by you and their heads were bleeding. What else do you have to say?" Lin Boyong shouted.
Lin Jue sighed and said: "There is really nothing to say. In that case, why did the head of the family say anything last night, regardless of the master or the direct descendants? In the head's heart, the master's house is the master's house, the outer house is the outer house, and the direct lineage is the main house. If you are a direct descendant, a concubine is a concubine. Why do you say it so grandly? You want me to be the chief steward, but you are extremely unwilling in your heart, so why bother forcing yourself? Don’t you feel tired if the head of the family is different from the outside? "
The courtyard was quiet for a few breaths, and the air seemed to have solidified. Lin Jue's words were already extremely disrespectful. To say that the owner of the house was different from what he said in front of his face was tantamount to pointing his nose and swearing. Everyone was shocked. Watching all this with his mouth wide open, he didn't know what would happen next. Lin Jue was acting like a monster, and he was afraid that he would not be able to gain a foothold in the Lin family.
Lin Boyong almost couldn't take a breath, his face was horribly pale. His gray beard was trembling, his body was trembling, and he was swaying and almost falling. Huang Changqing beside him hurriedly supported Lin Boyong and stared at Lin Jue fiercely. , I wish I could eat Lin Jue.
"Okay, okay, our Lin family has a talent, a talent who dares to point at me and scold me. Haha, the third wife has a daughter, and the third brother has a good son! It's amazing, it's amazing." Lin Boyong sneered repeatedly, He shook his head and said.
