"Get up... get up quickly."
When Lin Xiao saw this scene, he woke up from his drunkenness.
How had he ever seen such a salute before the Ouchi guards?
He hurriedly stepped forward and helped the leader up: "Senior, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Did you recognize the wrong house?"
Lin Xiao knew what Lin Cheng was doing in disguise, and also knew that the court would reward him greatly.
But now he is saluting in front of so many Ouchi guards.
It was difficult for him to accept it for a moment...as if he was in a dream, and as if all this did not belong to him.
"Old Master, how could this be wrong?"
The leading guard held Lin Xiao's hands and said gratefully: "We are here specifically to thank Mr. Lin. If it weren't for Mr. Lin, how would we have the chance to earn military honors?"
"this……"
Lin Xiao didn't know what to say.
The leading guard was afraid that Lin Xiao would refuse, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "Brothers, send over our team's thank you gift."
Immediately afterwards.
Several guards came over carrying a large box and placed it heavily on the ground.
The leading guard pulled Lin Xiao over and opened the box: "There are ten thousand taels of silver in this box. Please be careful, please accept it, Mrs. Lin."
"no no."
When Lin Xiao saw the white silver coins in the box, he was so shocked that he quickly backed away.
This ten thousand taels of silver is absolutely an astronomical figure to him.
It was enough to redeem Yun Niang several times.
A skilled master in Kyoto only earns about ten taels per month. If a family lives frugally, they can spend at most three taels of silver a month.
For an ordinary family, this ten thousand taels of silver cannot be earned in ten lifetimes.
Lin Xiao has mastered Lin's sword skills to a great extent. He usually helps people as escorts and protects the courtyard, and only earns more than a hundred taels of silver a month.
Even if he didn't eat or drink, he still had to work hard for more than ten years to save up.
Faced with such a huge sum of money.
How dare he reach out?
When the guards saw Lin Xiao shaking his head, they were a little at a loss.
They followed Lin Cheng to annihilate the Pingyun bandits this time, and everyone made a lot of money. A mere ten thousand taels was just a little bit of effort.
When the leading guard saw that Lin Xiao refused to accept it, he thought it was because he was short.
He gritted his teeth, took out another 30,000 taels of silver notes from his pocket, stuffed it directly into Lin Xiao's hand, and said to his subordinates: "Take the silver to the old man's house."
Lin Xiao saw everyone carrying the box into the house and cried mournfully: "What are you doing? I don't want it, it's too much, too much."
Finally, all the guards left.
Lin Xiao sat slumped in a chair, holding a thick banknote in his hand with a blank look on his face.
the other side.
Everyone who witnessed all this was so shocked that they swallowed their tongues.
Ten thousand taels of silver!
A thick stack of banknotes!
How much does this cost?
Could it be that Lin Xiao's son is really capable?
Lao Xu, who had quarreled with Lin Xiao before, stood up and came to Lin Xiao's side: "Brother, I'm wrong. Don't be as knowledgeable as me. I'm just looking down on others."
"Yeah."
Others also stepped forward and apologized quickly.
Lin Xiao looked at these people and was about to say something. Suddenly, the door to his courtyard was knocked open again.
This time, it was not the Ouchi guards who came.
Instead, they were Forbidden Soldiers wearing iron armor.
There were about thirty people.
They also scanned the crowd, and then walked towards Lin Xiao: "I have met Mr. Lin, and I wish him good luck and good health."
"What are you here for?"
Lin Xiao looked at the leading armored man in front of him and asked.
"Old Master, we are here specifically to thank Mr. Lin for helping us make a fortune and make meritorious deeds." Compared to the imperial guards, the imperial guards spoke more directly.
As soon as these words came out.
There were people carrying three or four boxes to deliver them to the house.
"No, no, no."
Lin Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but how could he defeat the enthusiasm of the Imperial Army.
The Custodes placed the box inside the house.
Lin Xiao looked at the leading armored man and said with a sad face: "I have been poor all my life, and this is the first time someone has given me money in boxes. I can't bear it!"
The Imperial Guard was startled.
He threw down his money, didn't even dare to say a polite word, and left in a hurry.
After everyone leaves.
The small courtyard returned to calm again.
All the guests were numb from the shock, and they all looked at Lin Xiao as if they had seen a ghost: "Brother Lin, has your son really wiped out the Pingyun Bandits, suppressed the Jianghu forces in Huazhou, and purged the officialdom of Huazhou?"
"Why did I lie to you?"
Lin Xiao heard this, slapped the table and stood up: "Although I am incompetent and have done nothing all my life, I have a good son."
No one dared to speak.
The two waves of people who came just now were given real money and silver!
In just a short period of time, there were between 50,000 and 60,000 taels of silver piled in the Lin family house.
Although they didn't believe what Lin Xiao said, the money in the house was real.
soon.
The courtyard door was opened again, and another group of forbidden soldiers walked in.
Lin Xiao was too lazy to get up this time.
He let the other party move boxes and boxes of silver into his house, and then when they left, he stood up and handed them off.
Just like that, just a stick of incense.
Seven or eight more groups of forbidden troops came to visit.
Without exception, they all carried tens of thousands of taels of silver to the house.
Lin Xiao felt numb.
All the guests were also numb.
Originally, they suspected that what Lin Xiao said was false, but now, they really believed what Lin Cheng did in Huazhou.
Whether it was annihilating the Pingyun Mountain bandits, suppressing Jianghu forces, or purging the officialdom of Huazhou.
Without exception, it is all a huge contribution!
this moment.
Only then did they realize that the Lin family, which was originally mediocre, was about to turn around this time.
Everyone waited for another half stick of incense.
This time no one came to give gifts.
They breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief. If someone came again, he might not be able to put boxes of silver in his house.
He looked at his old friends beside him and sighed: "It's getting late today. You'd better go back quickly."
"do not!"
Someone got anxious and grabbed Lin Xiao's arm: "Brother, we haven't drunk enough yet!"
"yes!"
Another person came over with a bowl of wine and drank it in one breath towards Lin Xiao: "I would like to congratulate my brother."
After someone takes the lead.
Everyone in the courtyard began to toast and congratulate Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao looked at the people in front of him and suddenly felt a little strange.
Everyone started calling him 'old brother, big brother', but Lin Xiao knew very well that some of them were older than him!
Among them, there were some who looked down on themselves from the bottom of their hearts.
But now these people are toasting their own wine one by one, for fear of drinking less than others.
Lin Xiao sighed, took a sip from a bowl of wine, and sang loudly: "In eighteen years, my son will grow into a tree in the sky, covering Kyoto alone..."
Everyone didn't know the meaning of the words, but they all applauded it.
Yun Niang came out of the house. She looked at the people drinking, shook her head, and came to the courtyard door to close it.
suddenly.
A pair of pale hands pushed the door and screamed: "It's not yet evening, why is it closed? Is it because miscellaneous families are not welcome?
