Chapter 067 Eating
Two 'bang' wine jars fell to the ground and made a rustle. Sun Liujin and the mountain thief Lao Wu swayed left and right twice and fell to the ground one after another. Lin Zimo, who stood up slowly, unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and stared at the two mountain thieves lying on the ground who were numbed by sweat medicine.
After a moment, the folding fan in his right hand closed and told Gao Xiang standing next to him, "Send a signal."
Gao Xiang, who was led by fists in his hands, walked out of the pavilion and turned out bows and arrows in a pile of deep grass 20 meters away. He bent his bow and arrow, facing the direction of the dense forest by the road, aimed at the sky and fired an arrow. The officers and soldiers who were ambushed around the Shili Pavilion saw the air signal and scrambled to kill them from the depths of the woods. They ran out and saw that seven or eight of the mountain thieves had been numb to the ground. The rest of the mountain thieves who were not put down were crooked and couldn't stand at all. Even if the knife is handed over to them, it is still unstable.
Lin Zimo, who was not in a hurry, walked out of the pavilion with a folding fan. Previously, it was still like the scene of the Spring Festival, but now there is a smell of death. Under the premise of unknown truth, nine out of ten officers and soldiers dressed as strong men are still numb to the ground by sweat medicine. The only difference between them and the mountain thieves is what they should do when they wake up, and the mountain thieves who wake up will fall from heaven to hell, and it is difficult to avoid the knife on their neck.
Facing Lin Zimo, Zhao Wenxuan, who came over, calmly put the long sword in his right hand back into the scabbard and said with a smile, "It really took no effort to take a soldier to completely clean up this group of mountain thieves who have been evil for many years."
Lin Zimo, who showed a real smile, once again closed the folding fan in his hand and said, "They deserve it."
Zhao Wenxuan agreed with what he said and nodded in agreement. Lin Zimo, who had another thing in his heart, called his brother to a secluded place and told the specific location of Zhou Long's treasure in detail. Except for his wife not sharing, Lin Zimo is willing to give half of the treasure to Zhao Wenxuan in accordance with the principle of sharing blessings and difficulties.
Zhao Wenxuan, who understood, understood what he meant and asked in a low voice, "Brother, when are you going to start to dig the treasure?"
"If you are not busy at this time, after all, those things will not run away by themselves. The day after tomorrow, you and I will take our confidants and go to Erlong Mountain to look for treasure together. Lin Zimo led the topic from the treasure to the mountain thief and said, "You have to show me this group of mountain thieves. Don't let one go."
Zhao Wenxuan, who could hear clearly, held his fists. After taking his order very formally, the two brothers talked to each other for a while before walking back together. At present, Zhao Wenxuan's two important tasks are to bind the mountain thieves who have been unconscious for a long time, and the other is to search for money from the mountain thieves.
Lin Zimo, who believes that his adoptive brother is reliable, did not intend to stay here to watch them "clean up the battlefield", but said goodbye, "I will go back to the city first, and leave the rest to you."
Zhao Wenxuan, who had no words, took over this job. Lin Zimo and Gao Xiang, who turned over the horse, turned the horse's head to ride the horse. Zhao Wenxuan, standing still, moved his steps and continued his finishing work after seeing his brother far away.
I didn't want to tell this good news to Zhou Long's Lin Zimo and went straight back to the government office. Last time, he claimed that Liu Hu and others were killed first and then, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Emperor Zhu. This time, he intends to report first and then act. After all, he is ten times sure that the above approval will be a decisive decision.
Lin Zimo, who sat on the circle chair of his government office, was an illiterate little boy, and then picked up the brush in his hand and wrote this urgent document. I have foreseen that hundreds of people will fall to the ground. He has no mercy for this group of mountain thieves and can't wait to kill them as soon as possible. He wants to give out the resentment that has been accumulated in their hearts for more than 30 years for the people under his rule.
Lin Zimo put the written official document into the envelope, put on the fire seal of Xunzhou Prefecture, and then ordered a steady servant in his government office to submit it to the provincial government. He didn't intend to sit down and be intoxicated. He took an official document on the desk and buried himself in it. If he loses one point, the people can gain one weight, and if he gains one point, the people will lose one point.
Lin Zimo, who didn't get off work on time, still had a lot of things at hand, so he consciously volunteered and continued to deal with business without overtime pay. He worked until the sunset appeared in the sky and then stopped. He stood up and moved his arms and legs at will, knowing that it was not easy to be a corrupt official, and it was even easier to be a good official. Inspired to be a good corrupt official, he found it even more difficult. No matter how difficult this matter is, he will overcome all difficulties and create conditions without hesitation.
Lin Zimo, who had been tired for a day, felt a little hungry in his stomach. He walked out of the government office and returned to the back hall. When he met Ji Xiaojuan, he did not ask her to prepare tea for himself, but asked her to inform the kitchen and prepare dinner earlier. After all, the more she drank tea with an empty stomach, the more hungry she became. As a man, he was embarrassed to go to Chu Hanlu to ask for a snack, so he had to eat early. Lin Zimo, who didn't go there, sat in the dining room patiently waiting for dinner. Inside and outside the city, I tossed back and forth. Even if I was full in the past, it was time to be hungry. He thought of the famous saying that people are iron, rice is strong, and they don't eat hungry.
Chu Hanlu, who was told by Cailian to have dinner, was not hungry at all. He felt that the time was wrong and said, "Why are you having dinner so early today?"
Facing his master Cailian, he told the truth: "Today, the master said that he was very hungry and insisted on eating early."
Chu Hanlu, who pouted his little mouth, had a grudge on his face and said to himself, "If people ask to eat early, they will definitely be accused of being greedy, and Brother Zimo's request to eat early has become a reasonable thing. It's so unfair. In the future, I still want the same treatment as him, otherwise..."
Standing next to Cailian, she knew that her master was like this. She interrupted and persuaded her, "Second lady, don't be shy with the master. In the eyes of the maidservant, the master is the head of the family, and it is natural to do whatever he wants. Forgive the slave and maidservant, you can't risk the greatness of the world and carry the bad reputation of women's virtue.
Gradually, Chu Hanlu began to wake up a little and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. They're just talking about it."
She jumped out of her room and went to the dining room. Chu Hanlu just came, and Yang Mengqi arrived later.
A family of three sat around the table. Just as they were about to prepare for dinner, Yang Yu, who was sweating, ran in from the outside, knelt down in front of Lin Zimo, and said with tears in his eyes: "My brother-in-law's great kindness to the Yang family, Yang Yu, can't repay me in this life. In my next life, I would like to become a cow and horse for my brother-in-law to drive me.
Yang Mengqi saw the abnormality of his cousin and looked a little strange and said, "Well, what are you talking about?"
Yang Yu, who didn't stand up, quickly explained, "Sister, you don't know yet! Now, the city is very lively. The people walked out of the house one after another to celebrate. At this time, Zhao Qianhu should have escorted all the mountain thieves in Erlong Mountain into the city. My brother-in-law took this group of thieves without taking a single soldier.
Yang Mengqi, who suddenly stood up, felt very proud and proud. He bowed his knees and said, "The slave family is here to congratulate his father-in-law on his great achievements."
Lin Zimo, who holds a bowl in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, said lightly, "Sit down and eat."
He was very grateful to Yang Yu, who had avenged his family, and bowed three times to his cousin and Lin Zimo respectfully. Lin Zimo, who was sitting on the stool, had no extra expression except to continue eating. In his opinion, he is absolutely worthy of Yang Yu's gift. Lin Zimo really wanted to stand up and dared to accept the great salute of the people in the city. After all, he not only killed Liu Hu and other villains for them, but also eliminated the thieves who had been rampant in the local area for more than 30 years.
"Get up quickly and sit down to talk." Yang Mengqi, with a smiling face, greeted his cousin.
Yang Yu, who got up, took two steps forward and sat down, while Cai Yue ordered the little maid beside him to bring another bowl and chopsticks and put them in front of him. In her opinion, he is the eldest lady's cousin, so he is qualified to sit down and eat with them. As for Chu Hanlu's family, if they can sit down and eat with their master, they really praise them.
Yang Yu's heart was full of admiration for Lin Zimo and said sincerely: "Brother, you are really resourceful, talented, full of experience, and talented..."
Hearing that Lin Zimo felt goose bumps on his skin, he suddenly interrupted him and said, "It seems that you are not hungry. Then I'll eat first, regardless of you."
Yang Yu, who didn't feel any inappropriate, suddenly stood up and stepped back. Once again, he knelt on the ground and said sincerely, "I'm willing to follow my brother-in-law to the death. I hope you can do it."
Lin Zimo, who felt uneasy about eating this dinner, took a bite of food, picked up a bite of rice, and then chewed it and swallowed it. He said slowly, "Get up and eat."
Yang Yu, who didn't understand at all, focused on Yang Mengqi for the help of his cousin. She can get a thought from his eyes that she wants to be a teacher. Yang Mengqi, who understood his cousin, knew that her father-in-law Lin Zimo had become the object of Yang Yu's worship.
