The visitor turned out to be Jiang Ayan!
Jiang Ayan had his hands behind his back, followed by two sturdy men, both carrying swords.
At the foot of the imperial city, apart from officials like Lin Linyou, they were the only ones who dared to carry weapons.
Even the street opera troupe can only use silver-like wax gun tips.
It seems that the scenes in the movies where knights roam the streets with swords and show off their power and pull out their swords at every turn are all lies.
"Oh! What a coincidence, you two adults! I'm glad to meet you." As if he had just seen him, Jiang Ayan strode forward and cupped his hands towards Lin and Zhang.
"Mr. Jiang, I have admired you for a long time!" Zhang Bi returned the gesture.
"You two, for your own use or as a gift?" Jiang Ayan pointed at the goods in the store.
"Just take a look." Zhang Bi nodded, "Just take a look."
Jiang Ayan also nodded: "Well, just look at it! Whatever you like, just take it! That old Wang is all a friend, so don't take any money, it will be on me!"
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly: "Easy to say, easy to say."
"Sir, you're welcome. We brothers can still afford this little money." Zhang Bi said, "I don't dare to let you spoil the money!"
"Master Zhang, you are so polite!" Jiang Ayan said with a smile, "Your little brothers, Yang Fang and Yang Xiaoqi, and I have been old friends for many years! Oh, by the way, Brother Yang, why didn't I come with you? Woolen cloth?"
"He...has something to do today." Zhang Ben said casually.
"Oh, yes, I just met him. He was riding a horse and leading several brothers out of the city." Jiang Ayan said.
Zhang Bi and Lin Linyou looked at each other.
Jiang Ayan picked up a porcelain bottle on the shelf and played with it, as if casually: "I heard that the two adults seem to have something to ask me?"
"Who did you listen to?" Lin Linyou couldn't help but ask.
"Ahem... No? Maybe I remembered it wrong." Jiang Ayan paced slowly among the shelves, "But Yang Xiaoqi did come to me a few days ago and asked me about the whereabouts of Huang Zicheng's descendants. Tell me. , how could I know this!”
…
"Two adults, you can pick whatever you like and take it as you please! Don't be polite!" Jiang Ayan paused for a moment, then cupped his hands, "I have something else to do, so I'll excuse you now."
"Jiang Ayan, you can't leave!" Lin Linyou put down the "New Year picture" in his hand and walked forward with his embroidered spring knife.
Jiang Ayan turned around: "Mr. Lin Qi, is there anything else?"
The two stood face to face, looking at each other, and when something about to "uncontrollably cherish each other" was about to happen, Lin Linyou took the lead to break the "anxious" atmosphere——
He stretched out his hand to Jiang Ayan's shoulder: "If I have anything to ask you, follow me to the Bureau... the Health Department!"
"Lord General Banner, can't you just say it here if you have something to say?" Jiang Ayan smiled and glanced at his hand on his shoulder, "You take your hand off first, these two of my subordinates are not very good-tempered. "
wipe! How dare you threaten me! I am a dignified royal guard!
Looking at his two men, they were squinting and grinning. If they let go of their hands at this time, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing? How could I still hang out in Jinyiwei in the future?
So Lin Linyou shouted: "I have a bad temper! Stop talking nonsense and come with me!" After saying that, he was going to use a young grappler to twist Jiang Ayan and send him to the Jinyi Guards Office.
The moves of the small grappling hand are delicate and varied. They can make infinite changes in a limited space and are said to be extremely fast. However, his hand slid down from Jiang Ayan's shoulder, and before he could touch Jiang Ayan's wrist, it was grabbed by one of Jiang Ayan's men, and then he tried to use a powerful and powerful grapple. Divide Lin Linyou into sinews and bones.
The two of them started fighting each other...
boom--
Snapped--
After several rounds, Lin Linyou and his opponent each received a blow from the other and both took a few steps back.
The opponent touched his nose and it was bleeding;
Lin Linyou touched his burning eyes. Needless to say, they must have turned into panda eyes.
What a master! This is the first time since the Ming Dynasty that he has met someone who can be a draw - he has never fought many times before.
Zhang Bi hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Second brother, are you okay?"
"Call someone!" Lin Linyou was still glaring at Jiang Ayan and his men.
"Who are you calling...?" Zhang Bi whispered, "You have forgotten that our case is confidential."
"Why keep it a secret! I have to deal with him no matter what I say today!" Lin Linyou gritted his teeth.
Jiang Ayan stretched out his hand and pointed: "Master Zhang, take good care of your brother!" He led his men and walked away.
Zhang Bi was afraid that Lin Linyou would chase him again, so he hugged him tightly.
"Let go, let go!" Lin Linyou twisted twice.
"Are we... still buying something?" Zhang Bi asked.
…
Zhang Bi: "Second brother, are we really not going to find third brother?"
"Where did he go? Did he say hello to you or me? Did he tell you, the big brother?" Lin Linyou looked unhappy, "No wonder he always felt a little timid when I called him in the morning. Something’s not right! It turns out they went to find the Huang family behind our backs!”
"Maybe we went to catch the salt owl again." Zhang Bi excused himself without any confidence, "We can't fall into Jiang Ayan's scheme."
"Whatever! He doesn't care about you as a big brother. He asked for it if anything happened!"
"But what if what Jiang Ah said is true?" Zhang Ben said, "If the third brother really goes to Jiangsu Mansion, will there be any danger?"
"Jiang Ayan clearly told us on purpose." Lin Linyou said, "This guy must have revealed the whereabouts of the Huang family to Yang Fang on purpose."
"You mean, is it really possible that the descendants of the Huang family are in Jiangsu?"
"During the Jingnan Campaign, Li Jinglong was recommended by Huang Zicheng to succeed Geng Bingwen." Lin Linyou said, "We should have thought long ago that the noble man behind the descendants of the Huang family is Li Jinglong! The Huang family abandoned their soldiers to save their carriages, and now they are abandoning their sons. ! If you use a borrowed knife to kill people, my third brother is the knife, and he wants us to be his killing knife too!"
"So what if we know? Can we just arrest Li Jinglong?" Zhang Ben said, "Or should we impeach him and say he is a Jianwen remnant?"
"That's why we have been checking Jiang Ayan!" Lin Linyou said, "Brother, have you forgotten what you are doing?"
"I didn't forget."
"Since I haven't forgotten, why did you stop me from catching him?"
Zhang Bi spread his hands with an innocent face: "I didn't stop him! It was you who was beaten to the ground by him in less than two seconds."
"..." Lin Linyou touched his bruised left eye, "Hey - I thought you were going to take action! It would be better for you to just sit back and watch!"
"Second brother, didn't I tell you! I can't expose my martial arts skills easily."
"Stop killing and protect yourself?" Lin Linyou sneered, "As a royal guard, who doesn't know how to do martial arts?"
"Second brother, let me ask you, what should I do if I want to get along well in the Ming Dynasty with my status?" Zhang Bi asked.
"What do you think we should do?" Lin Linyou asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Is it like Jiang Ayan did to find a big backer like Li Zengzhi and Li Jinglong?" Zhang Bi said, "If you are familiar with history, you should know that the most hated thing in the Ming dynasties was the formation of cliques."
"The biggest backer is not the emperor." Lin Lin lobbied.
"Yes!" Zhang Bi said, "But accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Although you are familiar with history and know the major events happening around the emperor, history books will not tell you the emperor's joys and sorrows. Maybe you will see you competing that day. He's so handsome, he might just kill you."
"Then what's your opinion, brother?"
"Low-key." Zhang Bi said, "Everything should be done in a low-key manner. This is one of the reasons why I don't expose my martial arts easily, and it is also one of the reasons why I have been able to live safely from the fifteenth year of Hongwu to the present!"
"Making salted fish? Fishing?"
“Isn’t this what you professionals are best at?”
"But, what I see now doesn't allow me to fish!"
"Second brother, listen to my advice. The water in the temples and rivers and lakes is too deep for you to control." Zhang Ben said anxiously, "Listen to the elder brother. Let's go find the third brother and arrest the descendants of the Huang family. They are now dead." They are abandoned, but they need to be captured! If we capture them, nothing will happen to us. The rest will be left to Li Jinglong and the others to fight on their own."
"Alas." Lin Linyou sighed softly, "I have been touching fish for so many years..."
"Um?"
"It's hard to find some blood...I can't let it get cold!"
