Liver in Water Margin, outlaw madman

Gao Qiu sat solemnly inside the White Tiger Hall.

Although he held absolute power, this was still under the emperor's nose.

Most importantly, he is not without political enemies or competitors.

Even if it's a frame-up, it should at least involve a little bit of evidence; otherwise, it would be much better to just send a large army to besiege Lin Chong's family.

"Does Lin Chong really abide by the law like this?" Gao Qiu asked, puzzled.

At this moment, the old steward standing to the side quickly bowed and said, "Reporting to the Grand Commandant, yes, he is usually the most diligent instructor, always on time, and never late or leaving early."

"Then what is this slow method you mentioned?" Gao Qiu asked, somewhat curious, in a calm and unhurried manner.

Anyway, there are many ways to deal with Lin Chong. If one method doesn't work, we can try another.

On the contrary, Lin Chong could only struggle to cope, and after a while, he naturally had no way to defend himself.

The old steward slowly said, "Remove Lin Chong from his position as the head instructor of the Imperial Guards and have him guard the armory. Then send someone to inspect the armory."

At this point, he glanced at Gao Qiu and continued, "Grand Commandant, it's perfectly normal for a few suits of armor to be missing from the armory. You can even pin the past losses on Lin Chong."

Gao Qiu listened attentively, his smile growing wider.

"Then he was dealt with according to military law, exiled directly, and his wife and daughters were sent to government brothels."

At this moment, Gao Kan, who was standing to the side, objected: "Madam Lin wants to go to a government-run brothel? That won't do!"

"Hey, young master, that's for outsiders, it's for Lady Lin's benefit. When the time comes, you'll be the hero who saves the beauty and win her heart," the old steward said with a smile.

"Great, that's a great idea!" Gao Yanei danced with glee, his fat face jiggling.

Gao Qiu nodded, stroking his beard. "Then let's change to this one."

In the midst of their conversation, they devised another wicked plan to harm others.

Poor thing, Lin Chong still followed the rules and stood outside, not daring to move.

The official came out from inside, his expression arrogant, and said indifferently, "Go back. I'm giving you a chance. If you can't seize it, don't blame the Grand Commandant for blaming you later."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chong's expression changed slightly, but he forced a smile and said, "Thank you, but I have something to report to the Grand Commandant. Please let me know."

"The Grand Commandant is busy with official duties; it's not like you can just see him whenever you want. Go back." That official didn't even go back to ask.

The way he looked at Lin Chong was as if he were looking at a dead man.

Gao Qiu valued his life so much that he would never see Lin Chong, nor would he give Lin Chong any chance to get close.

I'm just worried that Lin Chong might do something desperate.

Lin Chong was somewhat uneasy, yet he didn't know what to do.

He returned home feeling dejected.

Seeing this, Madam Lin quickly comforted him, brought a basin of hot water for Lin Chong to wash his face, and said in a low voice, "My lord, why don't you invite Commander Lu and Brother Zhang Shan to come and discuss this?"

After these few visits, she felt that Zhang Shan was a reliable person.

Lin Chong's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "I'll go myself. You stay home and don't go out. I'm going to the vegetable garden."

After saying that, he headed straight for the vegetable garden.

When they arrived at the vegetable garden, they saw Zhang Shan still practicing martial arts and strengthening his muscles and bones.

"Wow, brother, your boxing skills are truly exquisite!" Lin Chong couldn't help but praise Zhang Shan's boxing technique.

He doesn't understand the intricacies of officialdom, but he does know martial arts.

In later generations, this would be referred to as professional and technical personnel.

"Haha, that's a small improvement," Zhang Shan said happily, winking.

Taizu Changquan (Long Fist of the Great Ancestor), Proficient (5/100)

Marksmanship, Proficient (18/100)

Archery, Beginner (87/100)

The time was still too short. After learning the marksmanship, the bayonet technique was directly integrated into the marksmanship, and the proficiency increased significantly.

Surprisingly, the archery technique wasn't as fast as I had imagined.

It's not as simple as gaining a little skill level by shooting an arrow.

Instead, it requires Zhang Shan to devote himself wholeheartedly to it and hit the bullseye.

Everything was fine until the end, when the practice time went on for a long time, my arms and body became exhausted, and my accuracy dropped significantly.

No wonder sharpshooters are rare, whether in ancient or modern times; they are indeed a type of soldier with strong overall capabilities.

"Brother, you've arrived. Let's have a drink together." Lu Zhishen came out of the room upon hearing Lin Chong's voice, stretching as if he had just woken up.

Lin Chong nodded, holding up the food in his hand, and said with a smile, "I bought this on the way here. I have some things to ask you about, brother."

The three sat around under the tree, and Lin Chong explained his thoughts and his trip to the Grand Commandant's mansion.

"hiss"

Zhang Shan couldn't help but gasp.

Damn, this is a serious attack.

Seeing Zhang Shan's expression change drastically, Lin Chong quickly asked, "Brother, have you figured something out?"

"Brother Lin, you've escaped a disaster!" Zhang Shan said without hesitation.

"What do you mean?" Lu Zhishen was a little confused.

Zhang Shan asked directly, "Brother, how many instructors like you are there in the Imperial Guard?"

"There are dozens or even hundreds of them in the capital, with instructors for spears, bows and arrows, swords, cavalry, and so on," Lin Chong said without hesitation.

Zhang Shan nodded: "It's not that I look down on you, but has the instructor ever gone to the Grand Commandant's residence for meetings before?"

"Never!" Lin Chong said.

"Gao Qiu clearly tricked you into the White Tiger Hall, a military stronghold, and then framed you. Whether he charges you for trespassing on a military stronghold or for plotting to murder your superior, you can't escape it!" Zhang Shan didn't expect that they wouldn't use the knife fight tactic, but instead directly splashed dirty water.

Lin Chong's face turned pale instantly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

It wasn't that he hadn't considered this possibility; he just hadn't wanted to admit it. Now that Zhang Shan had pointed it out, how could he remain unmoved?

"That damned bastard, I'll go kill him!" Lu Zhishen, having spent a long time in the army, naturally knew the insidious nature of this tactic.

Zhang Shan quickly grabbed Lu Zhishen: "Brother, Gao Qiu is definitely on guard. He has buried countless people in the mansion. Didn't you see that he doesn't dare to see Instructor Lin?"

Lin Chong was truly panicked now, still unable to believe it, he said, "Does he really want to kill me? I was already preparing to go to Yan'an Prefecture."

"Going to Yan'an Prefecture is good. It's the territory of General Zhong, and Gao Qiu can't reach there," Lu Zhishen said directly, quite approving of Lin Chong's idea.

Only Zhang Shan shook his head: "How do we get there?"

"Get ready to transfer him there," Lin Chong said directly.

After listening, Zhang Shan sighed deeply, stared into Lin Chong's eyes, and slowly said, "Brother Lin, Gao Qiu won't let you go. Even if you try to escape, he'll still issue a warrant for your arrest!"

Lin Chong no longer doubted Zhang Shan's words.

Once, twice, three times, you're right every time. How can you make him still have doubts?

"Brother Lin, is there only one path you can take right now?" Zhang Shan said in a low voice.

Lin Chong leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Please speak, my dear brother!"

Lu Zhishen's enormous head also came closer.

"Like Coach Wang Jin, run, run overnight, hide your identity, and wait for the right opportunity," Zhang Shan said slowly. This was the safest method he could think of.

Lin Chong was somewhat unwilling. He had lived his whole life abiding by the law and working diligently, without making any mistakes.

He was at work when his wife was harassed.

Then you'll get messed with, and you'll have to run away!

What kind of logic is that?

"Brother, is there really no other way?"

Lin Chong was still unwilling to give up, and even had some doubts in his heart about whether Zhang Shan had exaggerated.
