Chapter 052 Red Face

As Lin Zimo expected, the group of gentry and merchants in Pingnan County asked their servants to come to the training in place of their sons. These young masters born in rich families are still afraid of suffering. The most afraid thing is to kill the enemy. After all, they have heard of the tragedy of the battle. Naturally, they don't want to die, and their respective fathers are even more reluctant.

In their traditional thinking, good men are not good soldiers. As for the errands of defending Pingnan County, they believed that it was what a group of Qiu Ba should do, not what they did. Zhao Wenxuan, who was instructed by Lin Zi, personally led troops to those large families to arrest people door-to-door. He was originally from a martial arts family, so he was not soft to do it.

Pingnan County immediately blew up. The family members of the large family came to the county government to make a silent comment on Lin Zi. Sitting in his government office, he was already ready to wait for them to come. Lin Zimo's small government office was soon filled with this group of people, and he still sat on it leisurely drinking tea.

Wang Fugui is the spokesperson of this group of large families. They chose him because he boasted about how good his relationship with Lin Zimo was in front of people. Now, Wang Fugui is naturally elected by everyone. Because he couldn't shirk it, he had to stand up and speak for this group of people.

"County Cheng, Zhao Baihu is arresting people door to door." Wang Fugui standing in the front is a step forward.

Lin Zimo, who slowly put down the tea in his hand, said calmly, "Last time, when I invited you to drink tea, I had already put the ugly words in front of me. Since I have handed over the full authority to Zhao Baihu, it is not easy to intervene again. You are all face-to-face people in Pingnan County. How can you do such a thing?

Wang Fugui, who did not reply directly, turned around and looked at them. After all, there was nothing wrong with his words. The heads of the big families looked at each other, but no one stood up to refute, so they howled. They howled and focused their eyes on Wang Fugui.

"Brother Zimo, we are all villagers. Just do me a favor!" Wang Fugui, who turned around again, wanted to take advantage of his special relationship and called him kindly, "I will bow to you."

As he spoke, he silently bowed to the forest sitting on it.

"Don't do this." Lin Zimo, who was calm, pretended to be surprised and said, "I remember that Brother Wang has only one only son, and he is still young. Has your son also been arrested by Zhao Baihu?

"That's not true." Wang Fugui said the truth, "I was recommended by everyone to petition you. We are all from Pingnan County, but we can't let a foreigner dominate the county.

"Yes, we firmly disagree." The big families responded to his words one after another, "We are going to the house to sue him."

"You all be quiet." Lin Zimo, with his head down, looked at the people in front of him: "I sent the recruitment in the form of an official document from Pingnan County, so there is a bottom in the government office. Besides, I informed you in advance, and you did not object. I naturally want to report such a big thing to the house. The official document sent to me by the government also did not object, but praised the practice of Pingnan County.

He found the official document sent to him by the house and handed it over to Wang Fugui. Wang Fugui, who read the official document carefully, let everyone circulate it and put it before handing it over to Lin Zimo's public case. Because they couldn't find a good breakthrough, they were silent. After all, they knew that all the truth was on his side.

Lin Zimo once asked the house for money, food, people, weapons, etc., but the government government refused it on the grounds of 'self-solving'. Once again in the official document, he still mentioned this and that and added a plan about recruitment. The governor of Xunzhou saw that there was an article with an "empty check" to do, so he opened it generously.

This "empty check" immediately became a truth that blocked the large families in Pingnan County. What his superiors agree with, it can't be said that he is arbitrary and does not care about the life and death of the gentry. He does things according to the rules, so he sits upright and behavesright and is not afraid of their threats.

The big families howled again to get Lin Zimo's mercy and sympathy. Lin Zimo had long been determined to ask them to pay for money, so he sat firmly in his seat and continued to drink tea. In this situation, he is not in a hurry, and the anxious people are all standing under him.

"We all know that you and Zhao Baihu are brothers. If you can come forward, we believe that he will definitely give you three points of face. Wang Fugui, who had no choice but to stand up again.

"You know one thing, but you don't know the other." Lin Zimo said unhurdenly, "Zhao Wenxuan and I are sworn brothers, which is true. However, my adoptive brother is very stubborn and stubborn. My words may not really work.

Wang Fugui bowed to him again and said, "Brother Zimo, just help everyone!" We will all remember your kindness. If you say something, it still won't work. I'm sure everyone won't stay with you.

Lin Zimo pretended that I was not as good as hell and who would go to hell and said, "That's all. Who called us villagers? Then I will ask Zhao Baihu to come to everyone to talk about it, so as not to say that I won't help everyone. However, I can't guarantee that things will not be done. After all, my brother-in-law's temper is really like that.

"That's natural." Wang Fugui bowed to Lin Zimo for the third time and said, "We are bothering the county magistrate."

Lin Zimo asked the little man outside the door to find Zhao Wenxuan to come here to discuss the matter, and he asked everyone to sit down. Because of their large number of people and limited chairs, the people who can sit down are the top people in the row in Pingnan County. Taking this opportunity, Lin Zimo took a good look at their six fat-headed masters and thought that it was really an opportunity given by God not to kill you.

A pillar of incense passed by, and Zhao Wenxuan, who was fully armed, walked into Lin Zimo's government office alone.

He didn't squint with his fists and said in a loud voice, "Brother, what's the matter with me?"

"There is nothing important." Lin Zimo said seriously, "Big guys have some objections to your arrest. Therefore, I asked someone to come to you to make it clear.

"There's nothing to say about this." Zhao Wenxuan, who turned around, said to the big families in Pingnan County: "This is a military order, and naturally it should be dealt with in accordance with military regulations. If your son doesn't report to my camp, it is a violation of my military regulations. I will punish the pretender with 30 military sticks as punishment, and the master will be punished by my 50 military sticks.

"Aren't you beating to death?" One of the big people blurted out.

Lin Zimo inserted a sentence and said, "Can you give them a chance to reform?"

"It is life, death, disability, and it is not the category to be considered." Zhao Wenxuan said coldly, "It's already out of law if I didn't deal with them directly according to the deserters. Whether they can live or not depends on their creation.

"If you want to kill my son, I will kill you first." Three or five of the big families were extremely excited.

Zhao Wenxuan held the handle of a knife in his hand, his eyes were half closed and half open, and he sneered, "Do you want to kill me? That depends on whether you have this ability. And I want to kill you, just like cutting melons and cutting vegetables. I followed ten soldiers led by my brother to attack 3,000 rebel camps at night without fear. Will Zhao still be afraid of you?

The big families have long known their heroic deeds. As soon as he said his words, he immediately suppressed the people who were ready to move. They clearly knew that everyone was no match for Zhao Wenxuan, so they had to put their hope on Lin Zimo again. In this room, he is the only one who can play a role for Zhao Wenxuan.

"Lord Lin, do you want to talk?" The big families in Pingnan County pleaded one after another.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Since I invited Zhao Baihu, let's have a good discussion. Even if it's a big deal, everyone can talk about it slowly. Lin Zimo said kindly, "Wen Xuan, don't be too stubborn and don't drill into the tip of the bull's horn. What do you think? Say it and let the big guys hear it!"

"The life of their son is life, so the life of the commoner's son is not life?" Zhao Wenxuan, who had known for a long time, held his fists and said to him, "For the face of the eldest brother, I can make appropriate concessions. However, the premise is to strengthen the defense of Pingnan County, otherwise nothing will be discussed.

Lin Zimo continued to sing with a red face and said, "You have heard it clearly! Since your sons have violated military rules and want to save them, it depends on what you fathers do? Father and son are connected by flesh and blood, and I don't want to see the human tragedy of white-haired people sending black-haired people.

"Lord Lin, how to do it, then we will do it." The big people who put all their hopes on him are very tacit.

Lin Zimo pretended to come up with a good idea and said, "I'm just giving you a suggestion. If you don't want to, then pretend I didn't say it. To be honest, this matter has nothing to do with me. I thought about the friendship of my fellow countrymen and finally decided to go to this muddy water.
