Crossing the Swordsman: Lin Pingzhi, the Swordsman of Evil

Chapter 41
Soon, from the end of spring to the beginning of summer, Lin Pingzhi's time out this time is not too short.I have lived in this small fishing village for more than ten days.

Every seven days, there will be a faint smell of medicine from the Meng family.

This is Lin Pingzhi's method of "refining alchemy and taking medicine" according to the method recorded in the Evil Resisting Sword Manual to help him practice the Evil Resisting Sword Manual.

Since the attack of the beggar gang ended, this small fishing village has completely calmed down.

Meng Sheng helped Lin Pingzhi with the aftermath of the beggar gang incident. Meng Sheng went to the county seat and informed the head catcher of the town what happened in the fishing village.

The head catcher then drove the cart, and led the police officers in the city to bury all the corpses of the beggars in the village.

However, the imperial court did not pursue this matter, because these beggars were gang members, and the imperial court generally would not intervene in disputes between the rivers and lakes.Moreover, the imperial court has another set of independent "handling methods".

Under normal circumstances, the rivers and lakes and the imperial court are "well water does not violate river water".

Unless these Jianghu people murdered the court officials, or violated the interests of the court, hurt the face of the court, or some Jiangyang thieves did things too much.

Otherwise, these local officials basically turned a blind eye.

As for the death of these beggars, the county magistrate is the happiest one.

These beggars are very domineering in the local area, but due to the power of the beggar gang, he, a small county magistrate, can only acquiesce in their behavior.And the local Japanese pirates are rampant.

The gang of beggars and Japanese pirates can be regarded as the two major scourges in Pingyang.

Although the prefect magistrate doesn't know what happened.

But he is the biggest winner.

The magistrate has been so happy for half a month that he has not closed his mouth. He is really numb.

Because the Japanese pirates are gone, the beggar gang and these local ruffians are gone.

The law and order in Pingyang County stabilized almost "overnight".

For the county magistrate, this is a "glorious" achievement of "being an official and benefiting one side".

It will be of great help in the official assessment in the coming year.Especially the Japanese pirates, this is the biggest achievement.

The matter that his previous county magistrates failed to solve, was solved after he slept.This is simply great news for him.

Because of this incident, all the officials in the Pingyang County Government were praised by Shangfeng.

Even Meng Sheng received a "reporting fee" of "20 taels" from the Yamen.It will be used for the cost of his rural examination in the coming year.

But Lin Pingzhi, the "big hero" of this incident, was much more low-key, as if nothing happened, he just stayed at Meng's house.

Then every day is to eat, make alchemy and take medicine, and then practice the evil sword manual.

That day Meng Sheng went out again, Lin Pingzhi picked up the chopsticks and asked Xiao Hong: "Miss Xiao Hong, Mr. Meng is going to school again today?"

Xiaohong replied: "No, today the master was invited by the county magistrate to go to the banquet." Xiaohong looked at Lin Pingzhi and asked, "My lord, I don't understand something."

Lin Pingzhi picked up the chopsticks, looked at Xiaohong and said, "Miss Xiaohong has something to say, but it doesn't matter."

Xiaohong asked puzzledly: "Young master, you single-handedly eradicated the pirates and those stinky beggars, and maintained our local law and order. And the little girl also heard from the master that the magistrate has rewarded you the meaning of."

"Why, son, don't let my master reveal his identity and name to take the credit? On the contrary, he made this great achievement cheap for those servants."

Lin Pingzhi replied: "Miss Xiaohong is not involved in the rivers and lakes. Some things may not be understood. There is a saying that a tree attracts the wind, and sometimes if it is too famous, it may cause trouble for yourself. Mr. Meng will tell you about this matter. Thanks to the wise and powerful 'leadership' of the 'imperial court', the aftermath of this matter has been resolved very well."

Xiao Hong served Lin Pingzhi a bowl of rice, and she said: "The master also said that the magistrate wanted to make friends with the young master, why did the young master refuse? This is the magistrate, and ordinary people like us can't even see him if we want to. Come. Even if you see it, you have to kneel down and bow down, and you will be punished."

Lin Pingzhi smiled and said: "Since I have entered the Jianghu, the favor of the official is not something that people like me worry about. Moreover, the deceitfulness of the official is far better than that of the Jianghu. I have to find a very far-fetched, even high-sounding reason for myself to stop Youyou's mouth. Officially, as long as I stand in the wrong position, I may be implicated and bring disaster to Chi Yu. I have no intention of official career, so it's better for these people to keep less contact."

Speaking of this, Lin Pingzhi sighed, and he said: "During this period of time, I have been bothering the mansion for a long time, counting the days, it is about time to leave."

Xiaohong looked at Lin Pingzhi at this moment, feeling very reluctant, she said: "My lord, are you leaving so soon?"

Lin Pingzhi replied with a smile: "Yes, I was a stranger in the world, but I came here because of the Japanese pirates. Now that the Japanese pirates have been eliminated, it is useless for me to stay here. Or Find a time to leave."

"The only thing I am worried about now is the Canglang Island. I have been in the village for so long, and no one has found any traces of the Canglang Island. I also want to go to other places to see, maybe I can find out from other places. The location of this island."

"I've been thinking about this for several days. After Mr. Meng comes back, I'll say goodbye to him personally and thank him for taking care of me during this time."

But Lin Pingzhi also smiled and said to Xiaohong: "Of course I also thank Miss Xiaohong for taking care of me."

As he spoke, Lin Pingzhi took out 50 taels of silver from his pocket, and handed it to Xiaohong.

Xiaohong said in surprise, "What are you doing, son?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "Naturally, I would like to thank Miss Xiaohong for taking care of me during this time. Miss Xiaohong's craftsmanship is very suitable for my appetite, and she is very tired for preparing medicine for me. I have nothing to thank Miss Xiaohong. , The money will be left for Miss Xiaohong to regain her freedom. If there is any surplus, Miss Hong can buy some dowry for herself. After that, she will find a good man to marry."

Looking at the silver in Lin Pingzhi's hand, Xiao Hong frowned, then stretched it out.She didn't refuse, but said after taking the money: "Then Xiao Hong will thank you, Young Master."

Lin Pingzhi also nodded with a smile.After all, I have nothing to help this girl.

Although Meng Sheng was kind to Xiaohong, Xiaohong was always sold to them with a contract.

Xiaohong was bought into the home of Meng Sheng's deceased wife as a maid since she was a child, and later came to Meng's mansion as a dowry for a young lady. Now her master is Meng Sheng.

Lin Pingzhi can't help her with anything, but he can give her personal freedom.Let her change from a "goods" to a living person.

As for where she will go in the end, it's up to her.

Although helping Xiaohong regain her freedom, the Meng family may have one less labor force.

But Lin Pingzhi will not treat Meng Sheng badly, and he will also give Meng Sheng relative compensation. After all, helping him translate the "Jade Cauldron Spiritual Pill" is a great achievement.

Lin Pingzhi has no other skills, but the silver he carries is not too small. Give Meng Sheng some silver taels, let him buy some fertile fields, and let him be a small employee. questionable.

Meng Sheng is a scholar, and he can be regarded as a respectable person in the county. He can keep his family business, so it is not a crime of being pregnant.

Giving the two of them a blessing can be regarded as repaying their care during this time.
