Chapter 210 Propaganda First (Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
Between Nanjing and Suzhou, the most comfortable way to travel today is of course to take the whole journey by boat, taking the Yangtze River and the canal waterway.

But this time Lin Tailai "killed" out of Nanjing City in a hurry, and walked through the nearest Tongji Gate and Gaoqiao Gate of Dongwai City for convenience.

That is to say, Lin Tailai left the city by land from the east, while the ship Shenwei Lieshui was parked at Longjiangguan Wharf in the northwest.

And the outer city wall of Nanjing is really too long. If you find a way from the east outside the city to the northwest corner, you may not have to walk a hundred miles.

So Lin Tailai simply ignored the Shenwei Lieshui and threw the boat on the riverside in the northwest. Anyway, after the crew on the boat heard the news, they would drive the boat back to Suzhou by themselves.

Then Lin Tailai hired a car and went straight eastward, passed Jurong, changed another car and continued eastward, and arrived at Danyang along the Grand Canal.

There are so many ships traveling from south to north on the canal, even if you can't hire a boat, you can pay some money to take a merchant ship.

Zuo Guardian Zhang Wen looked at the package and said worriedly, "There is not much money left. We can reach Wuxi County by boat."

They walked too abruptly from Nanjing, most of their luggage was on the Shenwei Lieshui boat, and they didn't have much money with them.

But Lin Tailai said: "It's God's will! It's enough to go to Wuxi. I originally wanted to stay in Wuxi for two or three days!"

Zhang Wen didn't quite understand: "After Wuxi, you will enter Suzhou Mansion. Why do you have to stop in Wuxi?"

Lin Tailai sighed: "The spread of news in this era is really too slow. What happened in Nanjing City is passed on naturally, and it will not be long before it reaches Suzhou City.

Therefore, by making some movement in Wuxi County, which is adjacent to Suzhou Prefecture, the news can be spread to Suzhou at a faster rate.

As I always say, publicity work must be done first! "

Having been with Mr. Lin for so long, the Zhang brothers are already familiar with Mr. Lin's behavior style.

So they immediately understood, sitting in the hall and wanting to make trouble.

The sudden escape from Nanjing City before, and then running all the way, has exhausted Zuo Protector Zhang Wen physically and mentally.

At this moment, he couldn't help but persuaded: "Don't always act like a villain and take the initiative to provoke troubles."

Lin Tailai scolded in dissatisfaction, "Why should only villains take the initiative to provoke troubles, while decent people must be beaten passively?
Look at the story of the Water Margin where Lu Tiha punched Zhenguanxi, and before he did it, Lu Tiha kept making Zhenguanxi cut up his meat. Is this a provocation?

So your structure is too small, those who take the initiative to provoke trouble are not necessarily villains, and those who are passively beaten are not necessarily decent! "

Zhang Wen: "."

In Danyang, Lin Tailai didn't show his flag, so he spent some money to take the boat normally.

Going southeast along the canal, passing through Wujin County, the capital city of Changzhou, and arriving at Wuxi County.

On that day, I still lived near the Xishan Station outside the south gate of Wuxi County, the same inn I stayed in last time.

But when he walked into the front hall, Lin Tailai saw that the shopkeeper had changed, so he asked in surprise: "The shopkeeper was someone else when I came here last time."

The last time I lived here, the journey was lonely. If the shopkeeper had not strongly recommended "Lectures on Orthodoxy and Confucianism", Mr. Lin would not have thought of going to Wuxi County to join in the fun.

I heard the new shopkeeper reply: "The previous old shopkeeper offended the scholars in this county for some reason, and he couldn't do it more than two months ago."

Mr. Lin was speechless, this behavior was indeed very Donglin.

Then he asked again: "I see that the market outside Nanguan in your county is bustling. Are there any pawnshops nearby?"

The shopkeeper replied without hesitation: "There are several shops, from Hui people, Suzhou Dongting, and local shops."

After finding out that the local pawnshop's surname was Gao, Lin Tailai stopped asking.

How many households with the surname Gao and loan sharks can exist in a county?It is estimated that it is the Gao family of Gao Panlong, the boss of Donglin.

On the next day, Lin Tailai ordered Zhang Wu, the Right Protector, to go to Hushu Pass, and asked the tax envoy Wang to send a boat to pick him up in three days.

Wuxi County is only a few tens of miles away from Hushuguan, so three days is ample time.

Three days later, the official Lin took out a piece of jade pendant, and ordered Zuo Protector Zhang Wen: "You go to Gao's pawn shop and pawn this jade pendant for me!"

Zhang Wen asked curiously: "Where did you get the jade pendant?"

Lin Tailai replied: "Zhao Ji of Jinling gave it to Mr. Zhang Youyu, and asked me to take it back to Suzhou.

It happened to be on my body, so I took it out as a prop. "

Zhang Wen asked again: "What is the rule for me to go to the pawn shop?"

Lin Tailai: "You take the jade pendant to the pawnshop and ask for 500 taels! If you don't give it, you will insult them!"

Zhang Wen was speechless, and responded honestly: "Actually, this kind of thing is more suitable for you to sit in the restaurant."

This jade pendant is not worth 500 taels at all, to be 500 taels is to buy and sell by force.

Lin Tailai sighed: "My image is too prominent, I am afraid that I will be recognized when I enter the door, so you should go.

I'll just wait outside the door, and if they hit you, you lead people out. "

After the two discussed it, they followed the plan.

The location has been stepped on a long time ago, Gao's pawn shop is only two blocks away from the inn.

Lin Tailai was holding the iron whip, squatting and waiting outside the door of the pawnshop, while Zhang Wen entered the pawnshop with the jade pendant.

Not long after, I heard yelling and cursing from inside, and then I saw Zhang Wen jumping out from inside, chasing three or four thugs behind him.

Official Lin couldn't help sighing, Zhang Wenkai's ability to ridicule was too poor, so he attracted so few people.

Immediately stood up, whipped one by one, and all the thugs who were chasing were knocked down.

But Mr. Lin didn't leave, he went back to the main entrance of the pawnshop and smashed all the signboards.

This time it finally seemed like a hornet's nest was stabbed, and a dozen more thugs rushed out of it.

In this era, opening a pawn shop is almost synonymous with lending usury. Those who do this are all good people, and raising thugs is used to do good deeds.

This time, Mr. Lin didn't act forcefully, instead he turned around and fled when he saw him.

He ran all the way with two 1.2-meter long legs, and led a dozen thugs through the bustling commercial street outside the south gate.

Lin Tailai didn't stop until he reached the pier of the canal.

The dozen or so Gao family thugs approached Lin Tailai, before they could speak or make a move, they suddenly jumped off more than 20 people from three nearby boats, and instead surrounded the dozen or so Gao family thugs.

The leader shouted loudly: "The archers of Hushu Pass are here to work!"

The thugs of the Gao family were baffled, why did the soldiers from Hushu Pass come here?

Although Hushuguan is a canal tax customs, the scope of law enforcement is up and down the Grand Canal, not limited to a certain prefecture or county, but it is still rare to come to Wuxi County.

Lin Tailai shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Do it!"

On one side were more than [-] government soldiers and Lin Tailai, and on the other side were more than a dozen fearful civilian thugs.

The battle situation was obviously one-sided. After a dozen or so breaths, none of the Gao family thugs could stand up.

Such a large-scale brawl in a bustling commercial port immediately attracted hundreds of people, including locals and passers-by, from the land and the streets to the boats on the river.

After the fight, Lin Tailai was not in a hurry to leave, and just stood there looking forward to Zixiong.

Afterwards, there was Tian Dianshi from the county, who rushed over with dozens of strong class yamen servants, shouted at Lin Tailai and asked, "Who are you waiting for? How dare you commit murder in public!"

Lin Tailai replied loudly: "I am Lin Tailai, who is now in Wuxiang, Zhili, Kenan, Shijieyuan, Suzhou!

Because he won Jieyuan, he was retaliated and persecuted by the officials of Nanjing City. He was killed from Nanjing City a few days ago!
Fleeing all the way to Gui County, he was already penniless, so he had no choice but to pawn the jade pendant at Gao's pawnshop.

A penny is hard for a hero, this is the jade pendant presented to me by Zhao Ji, the newly promoted No. [-] of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, and now I have no choice but to pawn it away!

Unexpectedly, because of the amount of the pawn, there was a quarrel with the pawn shop, and the Gao family found out their identities, so they fought each other! "

Tian Dianshi: "."

Unexpectedly, the water is so deep for a seemingly ordinary case of group fights!
On one side is the local powerful Gao family, on the other side is Guojiang Qianglong, and it seems to involve the struggle between Nanjing Shiguan and Suzhou people. There is no way to grasp the balance!

This fact is difficult to deal with, if you are a little careless, your official career will be worrying!

The rest of the onlookers were in an uproar when they heard Lin Tailai's words. They also didn't expect that such a explosive inside story was hidden in this matter.

Going to Beijing to rush for the exam to seize Kuiyuan, suffered revenge from the traitor, and then escaped from the capital, and then fled all the way, and there were also famous prostitutes presenting jade pendants, which sounds a bit legendary.

I originally thought that this kind of story can only be found in novels, but will it happen in reality?

At this time, the leader of the soldiers standing behind Lin Tailai stood up and said to the history of Wuxi County:

"I am Li Ye, the archer leader of Hushu Pass, and I am here to fetch Lin Jieyuan back to his hometown under the order of Lord Wang, the tax envoy!"

Tian Dianshi, who was in a dilemma, seemed to have found the steps, and hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Since the tax envoy Wang has spoken, you should take him away! If there is anything you need to investigate in the future, you can find the tax envoy Wang!"

Seeing that this Dianshi is so sensible, the official Lin didn't make things difficult for him, turned around and boarded the boat to leave, not staying in Wuxi County anymore.

After sailing for tens of miles, they arrived at Hushuguan, where they had been away for more than two months, only the last twenty or thirty miles away from Suzhou City.

But Lin Daguan and his men abandoned their boats and went ashore, went straight to the customs office, and visited the capital of the tax envoy king.

The tax envoy Wang said very considerately: "If you are in a hurry to go back to the city, you can go first, and I don't need to be polite here."

Official Lin asked suspiciously: "Who said I was going back to the city in a hurry? On the contrary, I may have to stay at Hushuguan for two or three days. Please ask the prince to arrange accommodation."

"Why are you staying here?" the tax envoy Wang asked in surprise.

Lin Tailai replied: "I haven't prepared a grand welcoming ceremony yet, why am I in a hurry to go back to the city?
No matter what, I have to wait for the preparations for the ceremony to be completed before I can return to Suzhou City. "

Wang Zhidu couldn't bear it anymore and said: "You also know that Suzhou is a place where people gather together, and they are not at all keen on martial arts fame, let alone attach importance to it.

What's the point of organizing a welcome ceremony that's completely useless?If you are a liberal arts Jieyuan, that's about the same. "

"My lord, you are too small!" Lin Tai said, "Whether a matter is hot or not, can't be manipulated?
As long as you are willing and good at hype, you can get a lot of attention, even if it is martial arts fame that Suzhou people don't care about! "
