Liver in Water Margin, outlaw madman

Gao Kan didn't hesitate and asked directly, "Could these things kill Lin Chong?"

"For Lin Chong, it's worse than killing him," the steward said with a low laugh, having already figured out Lin Chong's psychology.

From the moment Lin Chong first held back, he knew what Lin Chong wanted, what kind of person Lin Chong was, and how to control him!

"No, I want him dead." Gao Kan didn't understand these intricacies, nor did he understand the principle of killing someone by destroying their spirit.

He wanted to physically eliminate Lin Chong.

The old steward hesitated; killing someone and punishing someone were two different things.

He looked up at Gao Qiu.

Gao Qiu nodded slowly.

The old steward pondered for a moment, his expression furrowed, and after a long while, he slowly said, "Young master, if you want to kill someone, you need the cooperation of Kaifeng Prefecture, which is a bit difficult."

"Oh, what's so difficult about that? I'll go and talk to the Prefect of Kaifeng," Gao Yanei said nonchalantly.

Seeing that the old steward was still hesitating, Gao Qiu urged, "Speak freely."

Seeing this, the old steward no longer hesitated and slowly said, "There is one type of fast one, and one type of slow one."

"Let's get to the quick stuff first." Gao Kan scratched his head anxiously, wishing he could kill Lin Chong immediately and then possess Lin Niangzi.

The old steward said with a smile, "Young master, don't be in a hurry. Even if it's urgent, someone has to do it."

"Lin Chong works in the Imperial Guard. Find a pretext to lure him into the White Tiger Hall, where he will be accused of trespassing into a military stronghold. He will likely be sentenced to death by the Kaifeng Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yanei danced with joy and laughed, saying, "This is good, this is simple."

"Young Master, the most important thing is how to lure him in and how to subdue him. Otherwise, with Lin Chong's martial arts skills, if he really resists, it will be very difficult for us to stop him." The old steward didn't want to use this method, as there were too many variables.

Gao Kan laughed heartily: "What's so difficult about that? Just send someone to summon Lin Chong. He's never seen the White Tiger Hall before, so he won't recognize it."

"Besides, we framed him in the first place; he has no say in the matter!"

The old steward was still thinking about how to lure Lin Chong here.

I didn't expect him to overthink it.

The Grand Commandant summoned him; how dare he not come?!

As for what happens after they arrive, it's entirely up to them to decide.

"Young Master is right," the old steward had to admit, realizing he had been overthinking things.

He never truly grasped power; he remained a layer away from it, unaware of its intricacies.

Just do it.

Gao Kan began to gather men, preparing to ambush several hundred people at the White Tiger Hall.

While he was busy harming people, Lin Chong took a few days off to stay home with his wife and didn't go anywhere.

The atmosphere at home was oppressive. The couple looked at each other, unsure of how to begin.

After a long while, Madam Lin said in a low voice, "My lord, why don't you take the initiative to apply for a transfer to Yan'an Prefecture? No matter how far Gao Qiu's reach is, it won't extend there."

Lin Chong remained calm and said indifferently, "I've thought about what you said, but this is the capital, a place that countless people would kill for. If we leave, we may never be able to come back."

"If we can't come back, we can't come back. It's better than staying here in fear." Madam Lin was really scared. The last time she was trapped upstairs, she felt truly desperate.

They almost succeeded, how could they not be afraid?

"There are only thieves who are guilty for a thousand days, but no one can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Next time, who knows what will happen next time..." Lin Niangzi couldn't help but shed tears.

She just didn't want her husband to risk his life, and didn't want to ruin their family.

But that doesn't mean she's not afraid.

"Alright, I'll go and try to find the official right now. If I go to the border army, I might even be able to fight on the front lines and make a name for myself. That would be a good use of my skills." Lin Chong no longer hesitated and hugged Lin Niangzi, whispering to her.

"By the way, bring your father along, otherwise how will he live out his old age in the capital?"

After making up his mind, Lin Chong began to make full preparations.

His father was also in the Imperial Guard and had some acquaintances in Yan'an Prefecture, so he wasn't entirely without connections.

Just then, a knock came from the door: "Instructor Lin, Instructor Lin."

Lin Chong heard someone shouting and got up to open the door.

"Instructor Lin, the Grand Commandant has ordered you to come to the mansion on military business," the man announced loudly.

Seeing this, Lin Chong became wary and asked, "Alright, do you have any official documents?"

"I came in a hurry because of urgent military business, and there's no time to waste," the man said impatiently.

Seeing this man's behavior, Lin Chong became much less suspicious.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right back after I change my clothes." Lin Chong said to his wife as he prepared to change.

The man said directly, "The military situation is urgent, and the military law enforcement action has been delayed."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Lin Chong had no choice but to follow, calling out through the door, "Wife, I'm going to the Grand Commandant's residence. You stay home and rest assured."

Perfect timing, I'll take this opportunity to tell the Grand Commandant as well.

Na Chengju remained silent the entire way, simply hurrying forward with his head down.

Lin Chong wanted to ask for some information, but Director Cheng shook his head and refused to say anything.

They soon arrived at the Grand Commandant's residence.

The door opened, and Lin Chong stepped inside. He had been to the Grand Commandant's mansion many times and knew a bit about its layout.

But why is it so quiet today?

It was even a little too quiet.

Lin Chong suddenly remembered Zhang Shan's words: "Brother Lin, you must be careful, Gao Qiu will not let this go!"

They became extremely vigilant.

As Lin Chong followed Director Cheng deeper into the area, he felt increasingly uneasy.

He suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "We've taken the wrong path. This is a military stronghold."

"To discuss military affairs, we should naturally go to the rear," said Director Na quite naturally.

Lin Chong's face was ashen. He shook his head and said, "Lin Chong is just a martial arts instructor, without any rank or grade. There are higher-ups like the Chief Instructor and the Commander-in-Chief above me. Where are they?"

Seeing that Lin Chong was speaking according to official protocol, the official in charge was momentarily at a loss for words. He simply said, "You should leave quickly. The military situation is urgent. If you delay, you will be held responsible."

Lin Chong remained unmoved and declared loudly, "I am the instructor of the Imperial Guards. How could I not understand the law? Without written authorization, trespassing into a military stronghold is a capital offense!"

He values ​​rules and regulations most and has the strongest faith in legal provisions.

Seeing this, the official became anxious and stepped forward to grab Lin Chong's arm: "Come with me quickly! What law? It's all about the Grand Commandant's word! How can you be so inflexible? No wonder you're still just an instructor!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong felt a surge of inexplicable anger rising within him.

He follows the rules and abides by the law.

Was it still wrong?!

"It's not that Lin Chong doesn't want to go in, it's just that it's against the law, and Lin Chong dares not do it!" Lin Chong stood there and slowly backed away.

"Please show me the documents!"

Director Na was stunned. He hadn't expected it. He hadn't expected it. It was just one step away from success.

This person actually adheres strictly to the law!

Hidden in the shadows, Gao Yanei, seeing this, scratched his head anxiously and whispered, "Go in! Hurry up and go in! We're almost there!"

There were hundreds of people lying in ambush inside. Lin Chong was unarmed, and as long as he went in, he could take them down.

But now, things have reached a stalemate.

Helpless, Director Na tried to pull Lin Chong away, but Lin Chong gently tugged at him, causing him to stagger.

All he could say was, "You wait here while I go and fetch the Grand Commandant's decree!"

After saying that, he walked inside.

Lin Chong was left alone outside to wait!
