Armed with a sharp weapon, the murderous intention arises.
Confronted with the third housekeeper of the Qianshi Mansion who was taking advantage of others, Kang Lin was also very unhappy, but he still controlled his emotions very well. Not only did he not take out the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle in his arms, but he also touched it. On the contrary, he actually took out two ingots of extremely fine silver with snowflake patterns, and prepared to form a good relationship with them, because in his opinion, there is no need to meddle with others if the problem can be solved with money, and although that dog seems arrogant Domineering and arrogant, but after all, he is just a common man who is greedy for money. As long as his money is in place, Kang Lin does not believe that this guy can remain calm and unyielding.
"Uh, San'er, what time is it now?" After going around and around, Kang Lin had been waiting in the flower hall of Qianshi Mansion for a long time. He even drank several pots of free tea. During this period, except for one boy, Apart from constantly coming up to refill them with water, no one paid any attention to them! At this time, even Kang Lin, who was as calm as an old dog, couldn't help but get anxious. Didn't he invite himself to the house for a banquet? Why did no one come to greet him after waiting for so long? Could it be that he forgot that there was someone like him here? Well, he looked up at the sky again. It was already late, so he stood up and walked around, moving his body that was a little sore from sitting for a long time. At the same time, he asked his attendants what time it was now. He didn't want to think about himself. He has been sitting here and missed the banquet hosted by Mr. Qianshi.
However, when he approached the door of the flower hall and was about to go out, six servants of the Qianshi Mansion wearing hats, iron-inlaid cotton armor, and long swords hanging on their waists all stretched out their hands to stop him. They were ordered to stop him. The group of people guarding Kang Lin, how could they be let out without the owner's order at this moment, so they soon had physical friction with Kang Lin and others, and with each push and shove, both sides The conflict between them immediately became intense! At this time, Kang Lin, who had a full stomach of tea and was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, could no longer bear it. He thought that he was a leader despite his size, and he came here just to attend the banquet, but now he was left here to dry out for a long time. What does it mean to ignore him? He wanted to get up and leave in anger, but the guards outside refused to let him and his party leave this small flower hall. This made Kang Lin, who was alert by nature, wonder what the other party wanted to do. What doubts there are, and once doubts arise, they will continue to linger and spread in his heart like a poisonous snake. Seeing that he and others seem to be secretly under house arrest, Kanglin is about to take out the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle in his arms and order himself Two of his relatives rushed out to protect him!
"Stop, this shopkeeper Kang is the person the master has designated to see. You can't make any mistakes!" He left gently, just as you came gently! Just when the two sides were at war with each other and were preparing to stage a full-scale martial arts show, the third housekeeper of the Qianshi Mansion came outside the house silently like a master of Qinggong. This fat man who dominated others had a hypocritical smile on his face at this moment, and he no longer had the same smile as before. Arrogant and domineering, he stretched out his hand to stop the servant's rude behavior and at the same time bent down to signal Kang Lin to follow him and follow him to see his master, the master of this place, Donghaiwei Commander Hu Lian!
"Sir, these guys are obviously not well-intentioned. How about I and San'er protect you and kill the generals out!" Since their weapons were taken away by Hu Lian's servants when they entered the house, Zheng Nansheng and Jiang San could only They were soldiers, but they still bravely faced the heavily armed servants of Qianshifu. They were the last barrier around the leader. As long as they didn't die, they would not sit back and watch their leader be in any danger! However, form is stronger than people, and Kang Lin is destined to have no luck in accepting their kindness. He can only choose to keep it in his heart and wait for a chance to thank him again in the future!
Because, as the top leader of the entire Chiyang fleet, he must stand up bravely when faced with opportunities or dangers. Otherwise, the previous bloodshed and sacrifice, humility and waiting will become meaningless and offend. The third-in-command in the capital, not to mention just a small force to help fight off the Japanese pirates, even if he could annihilate a large group of thousands of Japanese pirates on his own, it would be of no use. When discussing matters, only this guy's crooked mouth would make Kang Lin's president. The flag official position is likely to be disgraced, so the big boss wisely chose to cooperate. At the same time, he also secretly stuffed two ingots of twelve ingots into the sleeves of the third steward!
"This steward, Xiao Ke, and I are from Lower Liba who came from a remote place. We have long admired the name of Duke Jingting (Hu Lian's name), but have never had the opportunity to meet him. Today, I am summoned by him. I hope you can forgive me for my rudeness. indivual!"
"Well..." After weighing the money in his hand, the third housekeeper finally had a smile on his fish-like face, but his tone of voice was still pretentious, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"Master Steward, Mr. Jingting, I hope you can give me a few kind words. Xiao Ke will be willing to offer it in the future..." Seeing that this guy still looked like he was half-hearted, Kang Lin suppressed his heart. Feeling dissatisfied, he continued to take two ingots of ten taels of silver and drew a seemingly infinitely beautiful pie for him. At this time, the attitude of the third housekeeper of the Qianshi Mansion finally changed fundamentally. I saw the lead powder falling off the fat pockmarked face of this guy. His big mouth almost reached the base of his ears, and he was even more polite when he opened his mouth. Kang Lin and others felt goosebumps fall to the ground when they heard this.
"Brother Yuan Jing, we are all our own brothers. Why are you being so polite? Come and come, and follow me to see Mr. Qianshi. He has been praising you as a heroic young man in front of us, saying that he wants to give it to you." I’ll take the command and ask you to take credit and get you a trial of 100 households!”
Money can communicate with gods, and money can also make ghosts grind! Looking at the arrogant and respectful third steward of the Hu Mansion, Kang Lin couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic look on his face. Sure enough, problems that can be solved with money are not problems. The dignified third steward of the Qianshi Mansion faced some middle and low-level officers and officials. Shi Yi was bossy, arrogant and domineering, and often yelled at the officers who were scolded by him. Not only did the officials dare not get angry, but they had to kneel and lick them with smiling faces. But he only spent forty taels of silver to successfully get rid of this bastard. The stuff even put a flattering smile on his arrogant fat face! With this thought, Kang Lin decided to strike while the iron was hot and add another handful of dry wood to the raging fire.
"Master in charge..."
"My dear brother, please stop taking care of me. I call you "Xi". If you think highly of me, just call me "Fifth Brother"..."
"Well, that's good. The younger brother is the elder brother, and he will be worthy of the steward brother!" Well, there is another fifth brother. Previously it was Han Wu, the big insect in the grass market, and now there is Hu Wu, the steward of the Qianshi Mansion. Kang Lin discovered It seems that I am completely at odds with the number five. In just a few days, I have inexplicably gained two more cheap brothers. If things go on like this, I may encounter more fifth brothers, sixth brothers, etc. in the future. By then, How should I handle myself, should I turn a blind eye, or should I be willing to make friends?
After thinking for a moment, Kang Lin, who felt dizzy, simply put this issue aside for the time being. The most important thing at the moment was to find a way to win over Hu Wu, the humble and powerful third manager of the Qianshi Mansion, and let him be used for his own purposes. Don't let him become a stumbling block on your road to success. As the saying goes, "The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door." Even if Hu Wu doesn't have the seventh-rank official, he can still be regarded as a ninth-rank official. Once he has bad intentions, he doesn't even have to personally If you take action, just twist your mouth, there will be a lot of flag officers and officials coming to trouble you. Then I am afraid that I will have more headaches and heartache. It is better to have a good relationship with this guy from the beginning. At least, This guy can still communicate and interact normally, as long as he keeps stuffing money, but if he meets a guy who is not greedy for money, not seeking profit, and is focused on the main thing, things will probably be more troublesome!
"Fifth brother, if you can speak a few kind words for your brother in front of Duke Jing Yan, and get an official position in one hundred households, you will definitely receive a big gift from me in the future!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I am a kind-hearted man, and I like to promote heroes the most. You only need to do one thing for me. Not to mention a mere test of 100 households, or a formal seal of 100 households, I am sure to do it for you." The prerequisite is that you have to prepare enough silver taels. Of course, as a sea master, you should not be short of these things..." The silver is white, the eyeballs are black, forty taels of silver are put into the bag, and three The steward Hu Wu had quickly changed his position and began to stand in Kang Lin's perspective, analyzing how to obtain the actual position of an officer. Of course, he didn't hold anything back, not only did he include a lot of private information in his words, He justifiably asked for more silver coins.
"What's the matter?" Upon hearing Fatty Hu's ambiguous words, which seemed to mean something, Kang Lin immediately asked. It was obvious that he wanted to hear what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.
"Do the master a favor. When you see the commander, send him the ambassador Shen, the artillery army's 100th household Wang, and the infantry trial 100th household Liu's to pass the Japanese..."
Ambassador Shen from the library, Wang from the Artillery Army Hundreds, and Liu from the Infantry Trial Hundreds. Could they be referring to Shen Sanda, Wang Ruhai, and his sworn brother Liu Chongqi? Wait, this damn fat man, Lao Yinbi let him do it. What, he asked the commander Gu Wentong to go out and tell Weng Yuli's right and left hand to communicate with the Japanese. What did he want to do? You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, communicating with the Japanese was a serious crime that could be executed by the whole family. He asked himself to frame three people for communicating with the Japanese. Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of it? The commander used Gu Wentong's hands to cut off Weng Yuli's gang members? All he could see in front of him was Hu Wu's distorted face and his gloomy words, as if he was a demon whispering in people's ears. Kang Lin couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Yes, he wanted to become an official. He wanted to find someone with thick legs to hug him in the East China Sea, but he also didn’t want to offend Weng Yuli, who was also a senior official of the Guard! After all, although the power of commanding Hu Lian has developed rapidly in recent years, the power of the latter, as a fellow commander, is still not small. With his small arms and legs, he is caught between the two major forces. If he is not careful, he will No bones left! As soon as he thought about this, Kang Lin sighed lightly, and immediately showed a trademark silly smile on his face, and asked Hu Wu, the third manager of the Qianshi Mansion.
