Lord of the House

"Everyone has a time when a tiger falls and Pingyang." Lin Fu, Fu Qinghe and Su Mei walked into the grass hut. The walls of the grass hut were full of holes. Although the fire could not be lit, the light was not dim in the twilight. On the ground, the bearded, thin-faced man with his hands tied behind him, with a fake smile on his face, asked, "Two dear brothers, just accept your fate, what can you tell us?" He was about to squat down and ask Ning Haizhen in detail. Seeing the beard next to him with a strange expression, he suddenly became suspicious. He held the tip of the dagger against the thin-faced man's throat, and shouted sharply, "Get down!"

The thin-faced man had no doubt that if he hesitated, the knife would pierce his throat. With his hands tied behind his back, he had to plop his upper body and squat on the mud.

Seeing that the belt tied with his hands almost broke him, Lin Bie thought that this fellow had a lot of strength, and slapped the back of his head with a saber: "Looking for death!"

The bearded man looked aside and shouted, "Kill us if you have one. What kind of bird is such bullying?"

Lin Bie glanced at him sideways, smiled, ignored him, and looked at the thin-faced man: "You also tell me this." He swiped at the back of his head again, and the thin-faced man was slapped. Eyes pierced with gold stars, eating pain without saying a word; bearded eyes staring open, and knowing that any rhetoric will only add humiliation.

Fu Qinghe grabbed the injured shoulder of the bearded man, and checked his binding. An arrow was shot under the beard's ribs and in the shoulder socket. He lost a lot of blood and had no strength to struggle; he just didn't expect that the thin-faced man would still have so much strength after being shot by an arrow. , if it hadn't been for the first arrow/shot wound, he would have been caught without a fight, and a fierce battle would have been inevitable. Just now, his honesty was a fake, Fu Qinghe was frightened by a cold sweat: If the thin-faced man escaped into the woods, they would have no boat to leave immediately. On the deserted island, when the officers and soldiers of Ning Haijun Town return to the island, it will be their disaster.

Lin Fuxin found a belt to tie the thin-faced man again, and said to the young man beside him, "Do you know how to tie it more firmly?"

The teenagers on the side shook their heads.

"Dry cloth is not strong; when it is wet, it has tenacity," Lin Fu said. Seeing Hu Qiaozhong going out to find water, he stopped him, "It doesn't have to be wet to get wet. Besides, no matter how strong it is, it is better to let it be He doesn't have the strength to struggle and it's safe... How can I make him not have the strength to struggle?" He pulled out his waist knife and cut a slit in each of the thin-faced man's arms with the tip of the knife, draining blood to the belt that bound his wrists, "Let his Blood, naturally makes him weak..."

Where have Su Mei and Xiaoman's two girls ever seen such a **** scene, Lin Fu taught while talking, just like the old gentleman in the school who taught the students to practice big characters patiently, his face was calm, if he just looked at his face, It was absolutely impossible to imagine that he was holding a knife and slashing the thin-faced man's arms in two openings for blood. When they saw that their scalp was numb and their backs were chilled, they couldn't bear to look at them, so they turned away from him. The ten teenagers in the grass hut couldn't bear to look at them. They wanted to avoid it. Lin Bing shouted in a deep voice, "Look carefully, they don't deserve your sympathy..." Seeing that the thin-faced man was almost tossed, he pulled his hair. Let him kneel, stand up and turn to the teenagers in front of him and say word by word, "I'm not teaching you cruelty, but you must learn to protect yourself, protect your friends and family..."

Su Mei's body trembled when he heard it, thinking that Young Master Lin had disregarded his own life for them, hid in the stern water for hundreds of miles and followed here, and rescued them from pirates, officers and soldiers, how could he think he was cruel? To say cruelty, these pirates, officers and soldiers are even more cruel and inhumane. If you are kind to them, how could Young Master Lin successfully rescue them? Maybe for yourself, for friends and family, these are necessary.

Su Mei turned her head and glanced at Lin Bie. Lin Bie frowned and looked at the teenagers beside her. She didn't notice the change in her demeanor, but she felt a little ashamed for her behavior just now. I thought that although I didn't treat him lightly in the past, I always felt that his character and talents were much different. It turned out that he was also a person worthy of respect.

Xiaoman hated these officers and soldiers so much that he was naturally happy that Lin Fu vented his anger on their behalf, so he didn't think Lin Fu was cruel, but the little girl was afraid of seeing blood. Hearing Lin Fu's words, he thought to himself: Does he consider himself a friend? ? Seeing the young lady staring at Lin Bie, she was confused: he did this for the young lady, I am just a close-fitting maid.

Fu Qinghe knew a little about Lin Fu's intentions, so he admired his actions. He stood aside with his hands behind his back, thinking to himself: When Lord Hou was still alive, when he commented on the officials and politicians in the temple, he said that there are not many people in the world who can "govern the world". I don't know what Lord Hou will say when he sees this young man in front of him.

How could Lin Fu know what Su Mei and Xiaoman thought in their hearts? He looked at the teenagers in front of him, and felt emotional about their future fate. He saw Chen Enze biting his lip, tears in his eyes, and the expression on his face changed again. With incomparable determination, he asked, "Do you know your current situation?"

"They are officers and soldiers of Ninghai Town. They should have killed the pirates to save us, but they killed the pirates and kidnapped us here. They want to pretend to be pirates to extort money from our family..." Chen Enze said.

"..." Lin Bie raised his hand and told him to stop talking for the time being. Although these teenagers have not experienced any storms, they are not elm knots who don't understand anything. He turned around and patted the thin-faced man on the cheek with a saber. , asked: "Who is the leader? You don't have to lie to us, we already know that he is one of the main generals of Ninghai Town. Chen Qianhu and a man named Baiming are his cronies just like you. As long as we go ashore, we will immediately Can find out his identity..."

"Bah, you all know that my general Xiao Taoyuan wants to use the 30,000 taels to redeem his body? How about a dozen or 20 merchants and local wealthy owners in Chongzhou who want to bring down my general?" Knowing that he was going to die, he didn't want to kneel anymore. He spat and struggled to stand up, but he kicked Lin Bie in the heart and fell to the ground. He stopped pretending to be a bear and sat on the ground. He said sternly, "Don't say killing thirty or fifty people, robbing thirty or fifty thousand taels of silver, and the Jinan She family has been fighting for seven years. What can the court do? At the end of the day, don't you want to seal the land and cede the land?"

"Xiao Taoyuan?" Lin Fu looked back at Fu Qinghe. He was not familiar with the lieutenant general of Ninghai Township. After all, he was purely a scholar who stayed at home.

Fu Qinghe explained: "Xiao Taoyuan is the second general of Ninghai Town, the deputy commander of the cavalry, and the commander of the six navy divisions in Ninghai... I didn't expect that the luxury family had already negotiated terms with the imperial court."

Lin Bie nodded. Even if the person in front of him was not a senior general in Ning Haijun, he was also Xiao Taoyuan's henchman. They should have known the news earlier than ordinary people. He looked back at Su Mei. There is no hope of justice.

Lin Bie didn't want the thin-faced man to be arrogant before he died. Seeing that he was still talking, he slapped his face with a knife and broke two teeth. He turned around and said to Chen Enze, Hu Qiaoguan, and Hu Qiaozhong, "Do you think you can let them go back?"

"No." Chen Enze said decisively, "They took the redemption money, and they have to kill us to silence us, so we don't have to worry about leaking the news; if we let them go back to report the news, my family will be in danger."

"Why can't you report to the official?" Hu Qiaoguan asked.

"They can pretend to be pirates today, and they can be pirates in the sea tomorrow," Hu Qiaozhong said. "If we report to the officials, they will definitely take revenge on us and loot Chongzhou before they go to sea..."

"Reporting the official? You children are really mentally retarded. I really thought that the imperial court would force the generals against the DPRK for the grievances of several merchants and landowners in Chongzhou! It's safe, it's better to capture..." The thin-faced man said fiercely, but unfortunately he didn't finish his words, and slapped Lin Bing with a knife on his left cheek: "So much nonsense!" Said to Fu Qinghe, Su Mei, Chen Enze and other teenagers , "Let's go out and talk." Leave the thin-faced man and bearded man in the grass hut.

"The reporter is definitely not good. Although he looks fierce, he seems to have some truth in what he said... If they want to turn the grass into a pirate, they will definitely take Chongzhou first. There are only seventy or eighty sword archers in Chongzhou County, and even pirates can't stop them. How can you stop them?"

"How long can we go to report to the officials? If we run away, they will send people to the island to know that the matter has been exposed. These officers and soldiers are so daring, will they sit there waiting to be killed when they know that the matter is exposed?"

"How should we be?"

"Maybe we really can only save our family if we can only capture it; as long as the family is not implicated, what if we are dead now?"

After walking out of the grass hut, Chen Enze and other teenagers were at a loss and didn't know what to do.

A crescent moon rose from the sea and sky in the west. Lin Fu looked at these teenagers. Most of them were 14 or 15 years old. More than a dozen of them were arranged to rest in another grass hut. Although they were pampered and never experienced After the twists and turns, they have reached the age where they can be reasonable and know right and wrong. This time, they were hijacked by pirates, officers and soldiers in succession and hijacked as meat tickets.

Fu Qinghe frowned and was thinking about other things; Su Mei and Xiaoman were also worried about the fate of these teenagers and their families. They had already experienced the arrogance and daring of the Zhenjun. If these teenagers returned to Chongzhou to report to the officials, even if justice was done, Presiding over justice, how could Xiao Taoyuan and his subordinates be captured? Ning Haijun Town has jurisdiction over the military defenses of Weiyang, Hailing, Pingjiang and other prefectures. The navy in Ninghai Town is the only naval force in the section of the Yangtze River from Jiangning below. Now, Weiyang, Hailing, and Pingjiang will all suffer great disasters. It is more likely that the imperial court turned a deaf ear to this matter in order to appease Xiao Taoyuan, and no one would stand up to do justice. Chongzhou County is located in the defense area of ​​Ninghai Town, and the fate of these teenagers and their families can be imagined by then.

"Brother Lin, Young Master Lin, quickly find a way to help them..." Xiaoman looked at Lin Fu eagerly.

"Young Master Lin..." Su Mei couldn't help begging.

"What do you think, Master Fu?" Lin Fu couldn't bear the hesitation of these teenagers, so he respectfully asked Fu Qinghe's opinion first.

"It's more tricky," Fu Qinghe frowned. He originally wanted to rescue Su Mei and Xiaoman's daughters, but at this time he couldn't bear to ignore these teenagers. The key point was that he knew that he couldn't convince Su Mei to ignore these teenagers. Regardless, he knew that Lin Fu would be much stronger than Ji Zhi's eyes, and said, "Master Lin, what is the proper plan, Fu is willing to serve as a messenger..."

"Master Fu can just call me Lin Fu." Lin Fu emphasized again, expressing his respect for Fu Qinghe. Fu Qinghe is in his fifties, so it is natural for him to call Fu Qinghe "Master Fu". , it's really awkward for an old man in his fifties to call himself "Master".

"Brother Lin, please save our family!" Chen Enze was rescued by Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe, so he would naturally have trust in their abilities, and knowing that he was young and knowledgeable, he thought that things must be less comprehensive than them, so he turned over and knelt immediately. He fell to the ground and begged Lin Fu; Hu Qiaozhong tugged Hu Qiaoguan's sleeves, and knelt down to the ground along with seven or eight other boys to beg.

"Stand up and talk," Lin Fu said in a solemn voice, still unable to accept the habit of kneeling down and begging, "Is it possible that I can think of a way when you kneel down; is it possible that if you don't kneel, I will stand by and watch? Get up and talk."

Chen Enze, Hu Qiaoguan, Hu Qiao and other teenagers all stood up, looked at Lin Fu expectantly, and pinned all their hopes on him.

"Being a pirate is always more difficult than being a general. Xiao Taoyuan is the second general of Ninghai Town, the second commander of the cavalry and the commander of the sixth navy. It can be said that he is a high-ranking officer. How could he be willing to lose until the last step? Let the existing wealth and wealth go to sea to become pirates? I can't think of it as a last resort, they will not fall into trouble," Lin Fu glanced at Fu Qinghe and asked, "What do you think, Master Fu?"

"Yes, the East Pirates who died in Xiao Taoyuan's hands did not have one thousand nor eight hundred. Even if he pulled all the sailors from Ninghai Town out of the sea to become pirates, how could the East Pirates and the extravagant family behind the East Pirates allow him. Easy to establish a foothold in the East China Sea? Xiao Taoyuan has only enemies in the sea, and has no foundation. It is very difficult to fall into the sea and become a pirate. Besides, how many people can he confidently pull from his navy to become pirates? He will never become a pirate easily. "Fu Qinghe said.

"Do you know what to do?" Lin Fu turned to look at Chen Enze and the other teenagers, "We disguised as another pirate and robbed you, leaving some specious clues. For worrying about things The exposed Xiao Taoyuan will first send someone to keep an eye on your family in secret, instead of rushing out to sea for bandits. However, before Xiao Taoyuan is brought down by others or transferred from Ning Haijun Town, you cannot return to Chongzhou—no You can't even contact your family until Xiao Taoyuan relaxes his vigilance."

Only then did Su Mei know why Lin Fu wanted to teach these teenagers "cruel" methods. These teenagers could not return to Chongzhou, contact their families, or even let others know that they were still alive in the world. Bring disaster to their families, if they don't have some "cruel" means, how can they survive in the future?

The eldest of them was only fifteen or sixteen years old. He had been pampered since childhood, and it was really pitiful that he suddenly suffered such a disaster.

Chen Enze raised his head and looked at Lin Fu, his childish face did not show much frustration. Compared with the cluelessness they had just now, at least there was still a way to go. He asked, "As long as we never show up, our family will Will it be alright?"

"The world is unpredictable, and there is no sure-fire plan." Lin Fu naturally would not forget the bullet that came in from the window. He did not regret the choice in his previous life. With pride, he patted Chen Enze on the shoulder and said, "You must know that it is the most important thing that we work hard for ourselves, for our family and friends; sometimes, even if we are unsatisfactory, we have no regrets."

Fu Qinghe let out a long sigh, turned around and left, obviously because of what Lin Fu said to him.
