Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 161 Straight Hook Fishing!

Hedong.

Liquan Township.

A group of three riders came from a distance.

The experiences along the way made Wang Xuance feel even more depressed.

They encountered many refugees who had fled here from Henan Road with their families, just hoping to have a meal.

However, on the way to escape here, many people collapsed along the way.

The drought in Henan Province has already spread here. I wonder if you have received the news, young master.

Wang Xuance looked towards the city gate, where officials had already set up a porridge distribution point to accommodate the victims who had come for refuge.

At the same time, the search at the city gate was much more intense than before.

Wang Xuance thought for a moment, gave instructions to the two people beside him, and the three of them rode their horses and left the official road.

Lin House.

It covers a very large area.

It is known as the first prefecture of Liquan.

There are dance pavilions and singing stages, green tiles and red eaves, and stacked buildings and pavilions.

At first glance, those who don’t know would think it is the royal palace.

In the main hall, the sounds of stringed and bamboo instruments are heard constantly.

In the hall, a thin young man wearing only underwear was lying on the legs of a beautiful concubine, enjoying the service of the concubines around him.

In front of him, a group of dancers wearing only bellybands and with graceful figures were dancing.

What is even more amazing is that the musicians sitting on the side and playing are all young girls, and their clothes are different from those of the dancers, but they have an extra layer of gauze.

Not only did it fail to conceal the effect, but it added a bit of charm.

Lin Changshou raised his hand with a smile and touched the beautiful concubine beside him. The concubine came forward with a flattering look on her face, but was pushed away by Lin Changshou.

"Too small and boring."

"..."

Lin Changshou sighed and glanced at the group of young girls in front of him.

Each one is as pretty as a flower and graceful, but there is always something missing that makes people lose interest.

"Sir, Sir, there is someone outside the mansion who wants to see you."

"Who?"

Lin Changshou slowly spat out a grape skin and looked over sideways.

"I heard that he was fleeing from the disaster. He knew that our family was the most wealthy, so he wanted to sell his wife to you in exchange for some food."

"Oh?"

Lin Changshou sat up straight, with a look of interest on his face, "What does that man's wife look like?"

"I haven't seen the villain either."

The servant shook his head and said, "I heard him say that his wife is a beauty, but she just had to resort to this desperate measure because she suffered a disaster and had no way to make ends meet."

"If you want to see his wife, you must first give him 100 kilograms of food, and then he will be willing to bring you to see her."

"Oh, what a loud tone!"

Lin Changshou sneered repeatedly, pointing at the young ladies in front of him and said, "How many young ladies and beautiful women are there in my Lin Mansion?"

"You are just a withered flower, and you want me to meet you?"

The servant whispered, "Sir, you only need one hundred kilograms of food. A few days ago, the wife of the shopkeeper Wang took fifty taels of silver from you."

Lin Changshou knocked on the table, nodded thoughtfully, "You are right, it's only about a hundred kilograms of food, just think of it as my charity to help the victims."

"Take a hundred kilograms of food and wait in front of the hall."

"Yes."

The servant turned around and walked away with his head down.

"Why don't you help me get dressed?"

A beautiful concubine quickly stood up, brought a very cool bamboo robe and put it on Lin Changshou.

Lin Changshou shook his bamboo clothes to make it fit him closely, then picked up the folding fan with a picture of a beautiful woman on it and walked out of the main hall leisurely.

"Sir, food and guards are ready."

"Follow me out of the house."

As he walked out of the Lin Mansion, Lin Changshou saw a thin man in ragged clothes, with unkempt hair and a dirty face, squatting next to the stone lion. A foul odor hit him before he even got close.

As if he had heard something, the man hurriedly stood up and saluted, "But is Master Lin here in person?"

Lin Changshou looked at the refugees in front of him with a little surprise, but he became more and more expectant in his heart.

A well-educated man like this must have been a wealthy person before becoming a refugee, so his wife must still have been charming.

"My name is Lin Changshou. I haven't asked for your advice yet?"

"I dare not pollute your ears with my humble name..."

The man seemed to speak respectfully, but his attention was entirely on the food.

Lin Changshou smiled knowingly, "One hundred kilograms of fine rice, could you lead the way?"

"Of course!"

The man nodded repeatedly and raised his hand to take the bag of rice, but was stopped by the guard.

Lin Changshou raised his chin, and the servant handed the bag of rice to him.

After confirming that there was fine rice in the bag, the man was delighted and immediately lifted up the bag. However, due to lack of strength, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. However, he did not care about that and continued to carry the bag tightly, supporting himself with one hand on the stone lion before he stood up.

"Mr. Lin, please follow me."

Walking through the streets and alleys.

The group stopped in front of a dilapidated house and the man pushed the door open and walked in.

Lin Changshou's gaze then fell on the beautiful woman who came out after hearing the sound.

Although her clothes were just as shabby, she looked much neater, with a plump figure and full of charm in her steps. Her fair cheeks were not made up, but she had a pair of charming eyes that were full of peach blossoms.

"Ms. sir..."

After seeing Lin Changshou and others walking into the yard, the beautiful woman screamed and hid quickly.

See this.

Lin Changshou's appetite increased.

"Brother."

"What advice do you have, Master Lin?"

"Madam Ling..."

"Just 500 kilograms of food! She's yours!"

"readily!"

Lin Changshou laughed, "But 500 kilograms of food is too little. I'll give you 1,000 kilograms of food, but I have a request."

"any request?"

"Help me guard the door."

"..."

The man looked back, seeming to be hesitant.

Lin Changshou: "I'll add another fifty taels of silver!"

"it is good!"

The man finally nodded. Lin Changshou smiled smugly, "Don't disturb my pleasure, wait outside!"

"Yes!"

The guards and servants following Lin Changshou smiled tactfully, turned around and walked out of the yard.

How could this skinny refugee be a match for the young master?

and so.

It’s best not to disturb the young master’s pleasure, otherwise you will die a miserable death!
The man took the silver and squatted on the steps in front of the door, counting it carefully. Then he glanced at Lin Changshou who walked into the room and took off his clothes. He sneered and without even looking at him, the bag of rice that he had carefully placed on the wooden block ran away over the broken courtyard wall.

"Beauty, here I come."

Lin Changshou closed the door and left his half-taken clothes hanging on his shoulders, never taking them off again.

inside the room.

Where are the plump and beautiful women?
There were only three burly men with cold faces, holding sharp blades against his neck.

"you……"

"Three heroes, spare my life!"

Lin Changshou's legs trembled. "I can give you anything you want. Besides, there are guards from my mansion outside. They are all very brave. Even if you kill me, you can't escape."

"not necessarily!"

Wang Xuance sneered and slashed Lin Changshou's neck with a knife.

Lin Changshou fainted immediately.

"Follow the plan."

"Yes."

Cao Yuan and the other man nodded, immediately took out a rope, tied up Lin Changshou, stuffed him into a sack, and carried him away.

Wang Xuance looked at the scene outside. It was calm and peaceful. He couldn't help but shook his head and sneered. He turned around and left over the wall.

A quarter of an hour later.

The guards and servants standing outside the yard sensed something was wrong.

According to the situation in the past, there should have been constant screams inside, so why was it so unusually quiet today?
Could something have happened?

A guard wanted to push the door open, but was stopped by a servant, "Do you want to die?"

The guard smiled awkwardly.

They knew Lin Changshou's unique hobby best.

If it weren't for this, Lin Changshou would not have been thrown back to his hometown in Hedong. However, there has been no movement in the yard, which makes him a little worried.

"There has been no movement inside. I am worried about your safety..."

"Do you think that refugee who has a hard time carrying a hundred kilograms of rice will hurt you, or are you worried that the plump beautiful woman will break your waist?"

"Uh……"

"Ha ha……"

The rest of the people burst into laughter.

But as time went on, everyone began to feel that something was wrong.

Lin Changshou has been inside for a stick of incense time, but he hasn’t had enough fun yet?
"wrong!"

"The longest time that Master can stay is only one stick of incense. Now one stick of incense has passed. Why hasn't Master called us yet?"

"Get in quickly!"

Everyone hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed into the yard.

now.

Where are the refugees and any trace of the beautiful woman?
"My son, my son?"

A group of people searched the entire courtyard, but there was no trace of Lin Changshou!
Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant.

Finished!

The young master is missing!
What should I do? ?
"Quick, notify Magistrate Wang to close the city gates and search for the young master!"

"Yeah!"

The crowd reacted quickly and split into two groups. One group went towards the county government office, and the other group rushed towards the city gate.

As long as the city gates are closed, Lin Changshou will not be abducted out of the city by the thieves, and they will have enough time to find Lin Changshou!
at the same time.

In the woods two miles west of the city gate.

Wang Xuance took out a purse full of silver and threw it to the refugee man and the beautiful woman respectively.

"Thank you, guest."

The beautiful woman was delighted. After taking a look at the purse, she hurriedly put it away and moved closer to Wang Xuance, twisting her body seductively.

"Do you want to relax for a while? I will help you for free."

"It's not necessary."

Wang Xuance waved his hand and said, "Just leave this place."

"I understand."

The beautiful woman nodded with a smile.

Helping Wang Xuance and others to capture the young master of the Lin family and keeping him in Liquan Township is like hanging himself, seeking death!

Seeing that Wang Xuance and the other two were unmoved, the beautiful woman took off her coat, revealing clothes that were even dirtier than those of the refugee men. She ruffled her hair, picked up a branch, and limped away.

"Why don't you leave?"

“There is no way to survive.”

The man said in a deep voice, "I want to follow you."

"Oh?"

Wang Xuance became interested, "What's your name and why are you following us?"

"I am Jiang Wuyang, from Hedong."

Jiang Wuyang clasped his fists and said, "I see that the three of you are well-spoken and know how to act and act appropriately. You are definitely not bandits, so I want to follow you!"

Wang Xuance: "You do have some insight, but unfortunately, we have important matters to attend to, so we can't stay for long."

"Besides, we already have this person with us, so we can't take you with us."

Jiang Wuyang: "I already have some money on me. If you are willing to take me in, please leave your address."

Wang Xuance hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Do you know what happened to Su Bing from Hedong?"

"The boss of the Su's Chamber of Commerce!"

"If you see him, tell him that Wang Xuance ordered you to find him."

"Thank you!"

"See you someday."

Wang Xuance nodded, called out to Cao Yuan and the other two, then mounted his horse and left with Lin Changshou.

He is indeed a government official.

After watching Wang Xuance and others leave, Jiang Wuyang tightened his purse and walked out of the woods leisurely.

……

Su's Chamber of Commerce.

Su Bin was very angry at this moment.

You are your mother's bastard, and you even blackmailed your Grandpa Su. Do you really think that I, a mere county magistrate, would take you seriously?
If I didn't want to cause trouble for my uncle and implicate the prince, I would have to deal with you!

"Sir, Sir, someone is coming from Chang'an City."
