The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Lin Tailai's boat arrived at Jingkou downstream, where more than 300 Suzhou transport troops who had completed the task of transporting grain were already waiting here.

After the rendezvous, about 350 people from Lin Tailai's family were transported to Taicang Prefecture further downstream.

After all, he was going to a foreign away game that was deeply hostile to him. Mr. Lin would not feel safe unless he brought hundreds of people with him.

The Wang family is known as a powerful family in Taicang Prefecture for thousands of years. Who knows whether the old leader Wang will mobilize hundreds of people to use force to maintain his status in the literary world?

Therefore, it is not too much for Master Lin to lead 350 people to defend himself.

If not for time constraints, Master Lin would even like to add another 350 people.

Taicang Prefecture is an important town in Haiphong and Jiangfang. Not only does it have a garrison camp, but Su Songchang's garrison office is also here.

Lin Tailai took 350 people off the ship and landed, which directly alarmed the Bingbei Road.

Before entering the city, the conscientious deputy military commander personally came to interrogate him. Lin Tailai answered truthfully:

"I came to Guibao Land to help Mr. Wang Yanzhou, the leader of the Literary Circle, send home letters. In addition, he wanted to discuss important matters in the literary world with Mr. Wang, the leader of the Literary Circle."

The deputy military commander pointed behind Lin Tailai and asked, "How many people do you need to have strong soldiers and horses?"

Since Wang Shizhen dominated the literary world, Taicang Prefecture has become a literary center. People often come to Taicang Prefecture to visit Wang Shizhen, and there are also many people who help carry letters.

But I have never seen anything like this before. With more than 300 big men coming here, are they trying to be a disciple or just kicking the bucket?

Lin Tailai said in a deep voice: "Don't my dignified Jiuyuan deserve to be protected? It's just a few more followers, what's so strange about it?

It’s understandable that you guard against someone with evil intentions, but how can I, the leader of the Nine Yuan Dynasty, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, still plan to take over the state and county? "

The deputy military commander still hesitated: "But"

"But your mother!" Lin Tailai scolded: "Do you dare to issue a military order? If I, Lin Jiuyuan, make a mistake in Taicang Prefecture, your whole family will be killed? If you don't dare, just get out of the way!"

The deputy military envoy weighed for a while between the dying leader Wang and the domineering Lin Jiuyuan, but decided not to stop him.

More than twenty years ago, leader Wang felt that his ancestral home had no style and could not match his status as a leader of the literary world, so he hired a garden master to build a garden covering an area of ​​more than 70 acres in Taicang City.

Therefore, in today's Jiangnan, a person's status in the local area can be seen from the situation in the garden.

Now this garden is named Yanshan Garden, and it is also one of the famous gardens in Jiangnan today.

The name Yanshan comes from ancient books such as "Zhuangzi", "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and "The Biography of Emperor Mu". In the book, places such as Yanzhou and Yanshan are all fairyland.

Therefore, in his later years, leader Wang changed his name from "Fengzhou" to "Yanzhou Mountain Man", and the garden was also named Yanshan Garden.

Today's leader Wang Lao has been living in Yanshan Garden for a long time and rarely goes out.

If others want to see Alliance Leader Wang Lao, they must enter the garden, and Lin Tailai is no exception.

When Lin Tailai led his troops into Taicang City and outside Yanshan Garden, they saw that the gate of Yanshan Garden was closed.

Lin Tailai secretly wondered, what is going on?

According to the custom of this era, before officially visiting someone, you must send a greeting card and give advance notice.

He, Lin Tailai, had already sent his greeting card, and it was impossible for the old leader Wang not to know that a distinguished guest was coming to the door today.

But why is the door closed and no one is waiting to greet him?

Protector Zuo Zhang Wen snorted coldly and said, "The local literary world is so rude!"

When the right protector Zhang Wu was about to step forward and call the door, he suddenly heard several drums beating inside.

Lin Tailai's face changed slightly, could there be an ambush?

But after the drum beat, dozens of people appeared on the outer wall of Yanshan Garden, all holding sticks and looking towards this side warily.

Lin Tailai recognized the leader of the row of figures who appeared on the wall. He was Wang Shisu, the second son of leader Wang Lao, who had competed in martial arts in Suzhou City.

It is said that the second son Wang Shisu was good at wielding guns and clubs in his life. He was a knight-errant in Taicang Prefecture, and he also had a group of younger brothers gathered around him.

Lin Tailai shouted to the second young master Wang on the wall: "I would like to help your Wang family carry letters from home and visit old friends by the way.

Unexpectedly, the door is closed and heavily guarded. Is this how your Wang family treats guests? "

Wang Shisu looked at the more than 300 strong men beside and behind Lin Tailai. Is this the "goodwill" and "visit" that Lin Tailai called you?

I couldn't help but sarcastically said: "It turns out that True Lord Jiuyuan has arrived. I thought there were strong thieves outside who were robbing homes and houses. How could An not be on guard?"

Lin Tailai said arrogantly: "Since you have recognized me, the leader of the Nine Yuan Dynasty, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, and the master of poetry, why don't you open the door quickly and let me in?"

Wang Shisu replied: "It is precisely because I saw you that I remembered the incident at the Yangzhou Literary Forum the year before last, when soldiers surrounded Pingshan Hall. Who knows whether Lin Tailai will want the past to happen again?"

Lin Tailai promised: "I just want to make friends through literature and discuss the literary world with Mr. Wang. I have no other ideas."

Wang Shisu thought for a while and then said: "You can come in if you want, but only Lin Jiuyuan can come in alone.

With your courage, Lin Jiuyuan, you shouldn't be afraid, right? "

Here, the Second Young Master Wang used some tricks to provoke generals, and Lin Tailai has always been a brave and fearless person in the Jiangnan Society.

Lin Tailai really couldn't say that he didn't dare to go in alone, as it would damage his image.

But the guardians on the left and right are old brothers who have worked together for many years, and they have already had various tacit understandings and plans.

Protector Zuo Zhang Wen immediately said: "The Wang family deliberately allows only one person to enter the hall. It seems to have bad intentions. Could it be that they are trying to murder the person sitting in the hall?"

The right protector Zhang Wu immediately knelt down and hugged Lin Tailai's thigh, shouting: "Don't be fooled if you sit in the hall! If you ignore the advice of your brothers and insist on putting yourself in danger, then I will die here first!" "

The situation is temporarily deadlocked. It can only be said that it is not that the two sides lack basic mutual trust, but that there is no trust at all.

Wang Shisu did not dare to let Lin Tailai enter the garden with a group of people, and Lin Tailai did not dare to enter the garden alone.

Looking at the drama outside, Wang Shisu also said loudly: "Our Wang family did not invite Lin Jiuyuan to come! If you don't want to enter the garden, you can just leave!"

Lin Tailai pointed at Wang Shisu and shouted: "Do you think you can stop me with this wall, this door, and this few manpower?"

Wang Shisu also became nervous, and shouted with an angry look: "Lin Tailai, do you really dare to break into a house by force?"

Lin Tailai sneered and said: "I have obviously sent a greeting message to the old alliance leader Wang, but the old alliance leader has not shown up or spoken out today.

With the old leader's demeanor and reputation, he is definitely not such a rude person!

So I have reason to suspect that Alliance Leader Wang has been kidnapped by this traitor like you and needs to be rescued! "

Wang Shisu: ""

Damn it! Do you, Lin Tailai, never regard yourself as a person?
