Chapter 006 Private Interview
Last night, Lin Zimo and Chu Hanlu slept in a **. Excessively frightened, she had nightmares in the middle of the night and woke up several times. Every time she woke up, he also woke up. Lin Zimo was a kind comforter, and then told her a short story to divert her attention. Chu Hanlu hugged him with both hands, and his inner fear was slightly reduced. When the chicken crowed, she was tired of tossing, and finally had to sleep soundly, and it was time for Lin Zimo to get up.
Lin Zimo was as usual, but stayed in the government office until about nine o'clock, and then returned to the north room in the backyard. Changing into casual clothes, he still dresses himself up as a rich young master of the family. After all, his appearance is destined to look like a peddler. Without taking anyone, he left the government office and went to walk on the streets of Guiping City. I want to personally experience the life of some people in the neighborhood and inspect the public security environment in the city.
Lin Zimo, holding a folding fan in his hand, walked slowly on the bustling street. From time to time, he looked back and was sure that no one followed him, so he went directly to the teahouse in the distribution center of various paths. Instead of sitting in the elegant room, he sat by the window in the lobby on the first floor and ordered four dried fruits and a pot of incense slices, which seemed to leisurely start the extra time.
A thin man sitting at a table next to Lin Zimo suddenly said to his three companions, "You certainly don't know that a servant in the magistrate's office hanged himself yesterday."
A man with a ptingle face asked eagerly, "What happened to him?" There are dead people in the magistrate's office.
The thin man showed a particularly well-informed appearance and concisely said the whole process: "The dead servant went to sue Liu Tiger in front of the magistrate, but the Lin magistrate did not answer, and then hanged himself. That little servant is really confused and doesn't want to think about what kind of person Liu Tiger is in our Guiping city? To provoke him is to die."
The man who shook his head and his face was full of numbness sighed, "He is also stupid enough to take his life for nothing. The crows in this world are generally black. Lin Zhifu must be wearing the same pair of trousers as Liu Hu, otherwise he would not have received his paper. If you want to remove Liu Tiger, I'm afraid our magistrate doesn't have that kind of courage and ability.
A Xiucai with a square scarf took a sip of tea and whispered, "I heard that our magistrate has not only received the umbrellas of the people of Pingnan County, but also been appreciated by the superiors, so that he can sit on the position of this magistrate in a short time with the origin of Xie Yuan. He is not only good at writing, but also good at martial arts. He once led hundreds of righteous soldiers in Pingnan City to defeat thousands of rebels.
"The news you heard must be a rumor." The thin man who spit out the melon seed shell didn't believe it at all: "Since the Lin Zhifu is so powerful as you said, he should take over the little man's paper and won't let a living life go in vain. Speaking of the past, I believe that Governor Lin will not know that Liu Hu has someone in the provincial government office. You should know that some of these officials are very knowledgeable in this regard.
The man with a piondy face also didn't believe Xiucai's words and said, "In my opinion, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money. Presumably, Lin Zhifu and Liu Hu have been secretly talking about it for a long time. Even if the two of them don't have any collusion, Liu Tiger is one of the three famous villains in Guiping County. He is evil and cruel. I'm afraid he hasn't done anything about killing officials.
A fat man sitting next to him who had never opened his mouth suddenly opened his mouth and reminded him, "You'd better be careful not to let Liu Tiger's minions listen, otherwise there will be no good fruit from you. It's not easy to beat you. If it results in your lives, it will be a injustice. If you want to have a family to complain to you, I'm afraid you can't find a place.
The three immediately stopped talking, quickly changed the topic and talked about the wind and snow. After listening to a real Lin Zimo, he knew that Liu Tiger was a domighting "real tiger" in the local area. If you don't get rid of him for a day, I'm afraid the people here won't have a good life. Liu Hu dares to send a head to himself, which is enough to show that he may dare to do anything except conspiracy.
"There is nothing wrong with that. Your magistrate Lin Zimo is not only greedy for money but also lustful. A young descendant sitting next to the four stood up and shouted, "He is a complete hypocrite, what a villain."
The fat man among the four suddenly stood up and kindly reminded, "This prince, be careful."
The young descendants not only did not stop talking, but also made up Lin Zimo's good-looking choreography. Lin Zimo, sitting next to him, listened carefully and understood. If he hadn't seen the ear holes on the earlobe of this young posterity's ears, he would have had the impulse to come forward and hit people. After all, although there were no dirty words in her words, it was ten times worse than scolding herself with dirty words.
Lin Zimo saw that the other party's woman dressed as a man's makeup, so he decided not to care about her, threw tea money on the table and got up and left. He doesn't like to be scolded, and he can't sit firmly in the teahouse and listen to the other party arrange himself. Shaking the paper fan, he continued to walk leisurely on the street, ready to go to the restaurant to continue to inquire about some relevant information about Guiping City.
Lin Zimo passed by the street, which was calm and seemed to be a peaceful scene in the world. The more you know, the more false it is. He guessed that there might be an invisible big hand that could control all this. I don't think he will be Liu Tiger. Although he is fierce, arrogant and domineering, he feels brave and resourceful to Lin Zimo. Near noon, he didn't rush home for dinner, and came to a restaurant that was neither high-end nor low-grade to drink and eat.
Lin Zimo asked for half a catty of locally brewed wine, followed by a assorted duck soup, a shredded beef with green and red peppers and half a white chicken. Sitting on the bench, he is still not interested in eating, but listening to other people's conversations. If you want to understand the people's livelihood in Guiping City, you should listen to the voices of the people below.
Lin Zimo once again heard all kinds of dirty words that the well-off people picked up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scolded their mother. They pointed directly at themselves and the government, but did not dare to publicly scold Liu Tiger. In the minds of these people, Liu Tiger is more terrible than the government, and he has become one of the masters in Guiping City.
Lin Zimo, who hasn't moved much of the dishes on the table, just listens to others, but really has no appetite to eat. With a deep depression, he paid the money and returned to the back hall full of calculation. As soon as one of my feet stepped into the gate, I was told by the lad that a guest came to visit and was talking to the eldest lady in the flower hall. Lin Zimo, who is so strange, knows that married women in feudal society can't casually come out to meet visiting guests, and his wife is particularly conservative and traditional, which must be clear. Since she can come forward to receive guests, so many of them are the people she is with.
Lin Zimo, who didn't think about it any more, couldn't lose the hospitality of his family, so he walked into the flower hall and saw Yang Mengqi and the young man he met in the teahouse as a male makeup talking. One person stood next to both of them, and next to the guests was a maid dressed as a man.
Lin Zimo, who understood, believed that his wife must have seen through her daughter's body at a glance, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to treat guests. After all, women are very clear-eyed when they look at their peers. Although the other party has scolded him, he still doesn't want to join in the fun. Their women chatted, and he, a big man, must be interesting and there is no need to stay.
Lin Zimo didn't want to alarm them, so he wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the "young descendants" sitting in the circle chair and shouted, "Lin Zhifu, where are you going? Is this your way of hospitality?"
Lin Zimo, who dispelled the idea, seemed a little helpless. He slowly stepped forward and said with a wry smile, "If I don't leave, will I stay and continue to be choreographed by you? Since we don't know each other, it's completely unnecessary."
"Lin Zhifu seems to mind?" The "young descendant" sitting on the chair did not smile and said, "If a young unmarried woman has given down a certain figure and pride, she will still not be ignored by someone. What do you think she will be in? Even if she hates a man and says something choreographed, it's reasonable!"
Lin Zimo, who heard the strange words, looked at her carefully and found that she really didn't know her. He said seriously, "Is it possible that there has been any misunderstanding between us? I really can't remember clearly. I hope you can make it clear.
Lord Lin is a nobleman who forgets many things. You should remember a woman named Han Caiyi!" Han Caiyi directly identified himself.
Lin Zimo, who shouted 'bad' in his heart, knew that the disguised woman in front of him should be Han Yong's youngest daughter Han Caiyi. What did she come to her place for? Is she here to take revenge on herself? He felt that this was very likely, otherwise she would not have publicly arranged her unfounded "ridiculous things" in the teahouse.
Han Caiyi saw that he didn't say anything, so she continued, "Do you think we should stay at the inn or Lord Lin's house?"
Lin Zimo knew that he was not peaceful here. If Governor Han's youngest daughter had a mistake, he would definitely be hated and ambitious by Han Yong. If Lord Zhongcheng really punish himself, I'm afraid he will only be beaten and have no power to fight back. If you really want him to live in your own house, what does that mean? He didn't believe how deep Han Caiyi would have feelings for him, and came to stage a "thousand-mile chase husband". I'm afraid that she is most likely to deliberately disturb and revenge on herself this time.
