Liver in Water Margin, outlaw madman

Lin Chong stood in the courtyard, completely unaware that Fu An had already left.

He was burning with rage.

My mind is filled with: Why, why, why!?

All I could think about was killing, killing, killing.

If you don't give me a way to live, I won't give you one either.

Until Madam Lin came over: "My lord, what's wrong?"

Lin Chong seemed to snap out of a daze, his face ashen. Looking at his wife's gentle face, he held her tightly in his hands and whispered, "Don't worry, my wife, your husband will definitely keep you safe!"

Madam Lin was terrified. She grabbed Lin Chong's hand, her voice trembling slightly, "My lord, tell me, what happened?"

Lin Chong thought for a moment and didn't tell Lin Niangzi the truth directly, fearing that she, a woman, wouldn't be able to accept it. Besides, there was still a chance for things to turn around, and what Fu An said might not be true or false.

No?

"It's alright, I'm going to find Brother Zhang Shan outside the city. You wait for me at home." After saying that, Lin Chong picked up his gun and walked towards the city gate.

Madam Lin knew something had happened, but since her husband wouldn't tell her, she didn't ask any more questions.

"Jin'er, let's tidy up the house a bit and put away anything valuable."

Madam Lin said in a low voice that her husband had never carried weapons when he went out before, but this time he actually brought a gun, which clearly meant he already knew the answer.

When Lin Chong arrived at the vegetable garden, he saw Zhang Shan practicing archery. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty, as he was making Zhang Shan worry about his own affairs.

However, he really didn't know who to talk to; he couldn't trust any of his former colleagues anymore.

Even his best friend, Lu Qian, could betray him.

Everyone else was under Gao Qiu's command; how many of them would dare to help him?

"Brother Zhang Shan, I'm sorry to bother you again," Lin Chong said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Brother Lin, come in." Zhang Shan also noticed that Lin Chong's expression was off; honest people are not good at hiding their emotions.

Lu Zhishen happened to be inside the house.

The three of them got together again.

Without hesitation, Lin Chong relayed what Fu An had told him.

After saying this, he looked at Zhang Shan and Lu Zhishen, especially at Zhang Shan, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Brother, I'm at my wit's end and have no other options. Please teach me!"

Lin Chong really didn't know what to do in this situation.

He was prepared to let it go, but Gao Qiu still wasn't going to let him off the hook. What could he do?

Zhang Shan and Lu Zhishen exchanged a glance.

Lu Zhishen asked, "Brother, it's not about what we're thinking, it's about what you're thinking?"

Lin Chong glanced outside and lowered his voice, saying, "I want to send my wife away first, and then I'm going to kill that bastard Gao Yanei!"

"Good, brother, this is what a martial artist should do! Kill the hell out of him!" Lu Zhishen slammed his fist on the table and said excitedly.

Zhang Shan looked at the two of them, put his hand to his forehead, sighed, and said, "And then?"

"Then, I went into hiding. I don't believe that Gao Qiu can control everything!" Lin Chong had thought a lot on his way here.

He'd come to terms with it; there was no other way out anyway.

Then kill him!

Zhang Shan was speechless. Although an honest person might kill someone if pushed to the limit, would he really kill someone like this?

"Brother Lin, killing only Gao Yanei is useless. Only by killing Gao Yanei will you have nowhere to hide," Zhang Shan said, even though he had already told Lu Zhishen this.

However, Lu Zhishen was still easily led astray.

"Brother, what do you suggest we do?" Lin Chong asked, which was also the purpose of his visit.

Zhang Shan glanced at the two men and slowly said, "Whether we kill Gao Yanei or not is not important."

Lin Chong was taken aback. It was all Gao Yanei's fault, so how could he not kill Gao Yanei?

"Young Master Gao, Young Master Gao, Young Master Gao, he relies on Gao Qiu's power. We can only solve this by addressing the root of the problem," Zhang Shan said in a low voice.

To be honest, he was still unsure of Lin Chong's thoughts and didn't dare to directly say that he wanted to kill Gao Qiu.

Sure enough, Lin Chong was stunned and muttered, "Kill Gao Qiu?"

"No, he is an official appointed by the imperial court. Killing him would be treason, and his entire family would be executed."

Up until now, Lin Chong has only thought about killing Gao Yanei; for him, this is already the limit.

After listening, Zhang Shan couldn't help but shake his head. Naive, so incredibly naive.

Even now, they still have reverence for the laws of the imperial court. Even if they become outlaws, it's not a complete transformation!

We must use drastic measures!

"Brother Lin, if you kill Gao Yanei, you won't escape, and neither will your wife. Gao Qiu will use all his strength to hunt you down, just like his Imperial Guards!"

"Only by killing Gao Qiu can we cut off the pursuit at its root. At most, we'll be wanted, but no one will care."

Zhang Shan spoke slowly and deliberately, explaining the logic of how power operates.

Power reigns while people are in power, but once they leave, they are forgotten.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhishen's eyes widened, and he slapped his thigh, saying, "Brother Zhang Shan, you're right, you're right!"

Lin Chong was somewhat puzzled: "If we kill Gao Qiu, won't the Emperor be furious? Wouldn't the Emperor have even more power at his disposal?"

After listening, Lu Zhishen was stunned again, and muttered, "Yes, yes, what Brother Lin Chong said makes sense."

Zhang Shan couldn't help but laugh.

Logically, yes, this is normal thinking, and it's something that would happen in a normal society.

However, if the emperor was Zhao Ji, then he was not a normal emperor!

"Brothers, how did Gao Qiu become Grand Commandant?"

"He did not rely on military achievements, nor on his education."

"He relies on his football skills and his flattery."

"He's just a hanger-on!"

"Just like Fu An!"

Zhang Shan spoke each word through gritted teeth.

There were still some things he didn't say.

That was Zhao Ji, a jealous and selfish person.

He didn't care about Gao Qiu, or even his own son.

He only cared about himself; otherwise, he wouldn't have made the foolish decision during the Jingkang Incident, when the Jin army attacked, to run away and hand the emperor over to his son.

Is this something a monarch would do?

Historically speaking, these are all incredibly laughable and absurd things.

Lu Zhishen slapped his thigh again: "Brother Zhang Shan is right."

Lin Chong seemed to have realized something as well, and said uncertainly, "Brother Zhang Shan, do you mean the Emperor won't really pursue this?"

"We will definitely investigate, but we won't pursue it like we did with Gao Qiu," Zhang Shan said definitively.

At this point, he had to give Lin Chong confidence.

Lin Chong is like a patient desperately seeking any treatment, while Zhang Shan is like a quack doctor.

But he could not hesitate for even a moment.

"Besides, Gao Qiu isn't without political enemies. Once we kill him, his political enemies will attack him and naturally speak up for us. At most, they'll issue an arrest warrant, and then that's it." Zhang Shan wasn't talking nonsense; he firmly believed that was the case.

Lu Zhishen's eyes lit up, and he burst into laughter: "Brother is right! Kill Gao Qiu! Kill Gao Qiu!"

Lin Chong gradually calmed down and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine, then I'll kill Gao Qiu. If Gao Qiu refuses to let me be the instructor and assigns me to guard the armory, I'll kill Gao Qiu!"

Zhang Shan was taken aback; he hadn't expected things to come to this point.

Lin Chong actually wants to wait!

She truly lives up to her names as Lin Daiyu, Lin Maomao, and Lin Renren.

Tokyo's number one ninja!
