At the critical moment, Zhang Ren calmed people's hearts. He said to everyone in the courtyard: "Don't worry, everyone, Zhang Ren will advance and retreat together with you. If there is danger, Zhang Ren will do his best to protect everyone's safety."
But Cao Bing said: "Brother Ren, you have done enough for us. If there is anything we can't do, we will die and we will never harm you."
Zhang Ren smiled and said, "I went to the Tribulation Field, how could I stay out of it? If it really comes to that point, I will have no choice but to die with you."
The scene was filled with sadness. Everyone here was grateful to Zhang Ren. They wanted to live and didn't want to implicate Zhang Ren. But now it seems that everyone is in the same boat.
Cao Bing wanted to say something more, but Zhang Ren gently shook his head at him, "It's just someone visiting now, so there's no need to make it so sad. Can't you say it's a friend?"
Zhang Ren really didn't like that kind of sad emotion, which made him feel as if he was really close to death, which was unlucky.
Zhang Ren turned his head and asked the concierge, "Who is the visitor?"
The concierge replied: "Yingtianfu's Yamen chief arrests Lin Ling."
As soon as these words came out, the people in the courtyard were shocked. Come, come, come, the chief arrester of Yingtianfu Yamen is coming. He wants to arrest us.
But Zhang Ren was very indifferent. He didn't have much interaction with Lin Ling, but it was a life-long friendship. The two of them together with Xu Haoyuan had fought against Guo Shaoqing, the twin swords of cold light.
Apart from those noble disciples, Lin Ling was definitely one of Zhang Ren's few friends, and the kind he could trust.
The reason why he didn't ask Lin Ling for help in the matter of the robbery is because Lin Ling has an old mother who lives in the robbery. He will lose his head in the robbery. What if something happens to Lin Ling? What will happen to his old mother?
Zhang Ren quickly said to the people around him: "Don't worry, Lin Ling is my friend, he is definitely not here to arrest you."
Although they heard what Zhang Ren said, they were still worried. The feeling of waiting for death on the execution ground was not good, and they did not want to have it happen again.
Zhang Ren looked at the concierge angrily. It would be nice if you just said Lin Ling was here. He was just gasping for air, but it scared people a lot.
Zhang Ren quickly said: "Let Lin Ling come in."
The concierge went down and quickly brought Lin Ling over. He also carried two jars of wine and two roast chickens.
The people who had just been rescued from the execution ground couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Lin Ling looked at the people in the courtyard, walked up to Zhang Ren with a smile, and said, "Your house is quite lively."
Zhang Ren nodded and said, "It would be good if there are more people and more excitement."
As Zhang Ren spoke, he invited Lin Ling to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard. Lin Ling also directly placed the wine and roast chicken on the stone table.
Zhang Ren sat down and asked, "How is Lingci? How is Master Wan Yuzhiwan?"
Lin Ling nodded, placed a jar of wine in front of Zhang Ren, and then said, "My mother is in good health, and my family is doing well too. It's just that since you returned to Jinling, my family has been really busy."
Zhang Ren smiled slightly. Naturally, he didn't want to come back to Jinling City. If it weren't for saving people, he would have gone to the rivers and lakes to enjoy himself.
….
Zhang Ren said: "This is my fault."
Lin Ling stretched out a palm, slapped the wine jar in front of her away, took a sip of it, and then said: "Of course it's your fault. You're not interesting enough. It's okay to have people of the opposite sex and no humanity at all." , you didn’t call me for something as big as the Tribulation Field?”
After hearing this, everyone in the courtyard began to whisper. This Lin Ling knew about the robbery of the law field. Presumably many people in Jinling City already knew about it. Some of these people will definitely go to complain to His Majesty. Your Majesty will forgive him. Pass them? These are all unknown, and all they can do now is to listen to fate.
Zhang Ren smiled bitterly and said, "I knew I couldn't hide this matter. You already know it, and Master Wan must also know it?"
Lin Ling nodded and said: "Not only Master Wan, but also the officialdom of Jinling City may know about it, and this matter may have been spread to the Emperor. I will ask you, why?
Why didn’t you call me on the He Jie Dharma Field? "
Zhang Ren was impatient and also slapped away the mud seal of the wine jar with his palm. He took a sip and said, "If you were alone, I would naturally call you. After all, you are also a Wudang disciple, so you can always help. I'm busy, but you have an old mother at home. If you have something wrong with you, how can I explain it to Ling Ci?"
Lin Ling was extremely dissatisfied and said: "We are all children of the world, why do we think so much? My mother is very simple in doing things and never considers what is and is not. She also taught me that way, and I, Lin Ling, also do things the same way. So, if my mother knew that my friend was in danger and I didn't help, she would probably break my legs."
Zhang Ren raised the wine jar and said to Lin Ling, "I was too cautious, so I will use your wine to apologize to you."
After Zhang Ren finished speaking, he took a big sip of wine.
Lin Ling also took a sip and said, "Forget it, it's over, I forgive you, but you have to remember, you must call me next time something like this happens."
Zhang Ren nodded, smiled, and said, "Definitely."
Lin Ling then asked: "What are your plans next?"
Zhang Ren thought for a while and shook his head. What plan could he have? I just want to keep the people I saved alive.
He sighed and said softly: "Wait and see, these people will always have to be resettled, and since the Jinling officialdom knows about my robbery of the law field, my yard will not be safe. I have to think about it." We need to find some way to transfer. Is there any trouble outside?"
Hearing Zhang Ren's question, all the noble family members in the courtyard pricked up their ears and listened carefully. After all, the next conversation between the two was related to their life and death.
An extremely rare scene also appeared at the scene. Zhang Ren and Lin Ling sat eating and drinking and talking about things. There were circles of noble disciples standing around them, looking like servants serving the master's family.
Although Lin Ling is the chief arrester of Yingtian Mansion, this status is enough for ordinary people to look up to, but this status is not enough for nobles. If it were normal, how would they look at Lin Ling? Even if Lin Lingruo sat in front of them, they would scold her for not knowing the rules.
But now, they just stood aside and listened to Lin Ling's words, and they had long lost their former dignity. At this moment, it seemed that it was normal for them to stand here.
Lin Ling shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on outside. I was also worried that you might be in danger, so I immediately arranged for my mother to be settled and came directly to you. I thought that if any officers and soldiers came, you You always need some help, and although my martial arts skills are not great, I can help you cut off your body or something."
Night rivers and lakes.
