son, don't mess around

Chapter 235 Identity exposed in public
"Li Qianlin?"

This name is not unfamiliar to Lin Jiangnian.

Isn't it the same Li Qianlin who was the son of the minister of the Ministry of Justice in Beijing that he first met at the Linjiang City teahouse?

When they first met, Li Qianlin relied on his status in the capital to show his superiority, and treated Lin Jiangnian with disdain and verbal provocation. After being slapped by Lin Jiangnian, he recognized the reality and stayed honest for a while.

On Lin Jiangnian's way to Beijing, he restlessly teamed up with Shen Nuxia to assassinate him. After the plan failed, he fled in panic.

I haven't heard this name for a long time, and Lin Jiangnian almost forgot about this person!
"Brother Lin knows this person?"

"It's... acquainted."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Zhou Huiguang, who was standing in front of him, looking as arrogant as Li Qianlin before, and asked Xu Zhongshan: "Are they with Li Qianlin?"

Xu Zhongshan nodded heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "Their fathers had similar official positions in the capital, and they had close contacts. They, these dandy boys, are also close to each other on weekdays, and they join forces to form a group. They are all the same, hypocritical people, and none of them are good..."

Listening to Xu Zhongshan's explanation, Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly, probably understanding.

These dandy boys in Beijing will also stick together to keep warm. Although the official positions of their fathers behind these people are not very high, when they unite, they form a considerable force.

Most people really can’t afford to offend this force!

This is the case for Zhou Huiguang right now. Although his father is a member of the Sixth Division, he is only a marginal figure in the Sixth Division. His power is not very high, but with the support of other people, the situation is completely different.

Now Zhou Huiguang stopped in front of Lin Jiangnian and Xu Zhongshan, listening to the two whispering, the smile on his face froze slightly.

These two people might not take him seriously, right?
There had always been some grudges between him and Xu Zhongshan. They both lived in Beijing circles, so conflicts were extremely normal.The Zhou family was not as powerful as the Xu family, but Zhou Huiguang had someone behind him and did not take the Xu family seriously.

The Xu family's foundation is in Linzhou, and the power in Beijing is weak. Xu Zhongshan is also a reckless man.In the past, Zhou Huiguang might have been a little afraid, but today at the Lu family wedding, and with the support of others around him, Zhou Huiguang was naturally not worried about what Xu Zhongshan would dare to do, so he seized the opportunity to taunt and ridicule.

As for Lin Jiangnian next to Xu Zhongshan, he was extremely unfamiliar and had never seen him before.I have almost seen Zhou Huiguang, a prominent young man from aristocratic families in Beijing, but I have no impression of him.I thought it was probably Xu Zhongshan who he knew from somewhere, and he didn't even take it to heart.

"It's a rare encounter. Are you in such a hurry to leave? Xu Zhongshan, you don't take us seriously enough, right?"

Zhou Huiguang looked at Xu Zhongshan with a half-smile, and the smile on his face looked extremely hypocritical.

"Yes, after all we have met each other. If we don't look up when we meet, you seem to be looking down on us!"

Gao Wenyang on the side opened his mouth to help at the right time, and the two of them sang and harmonized, and their words were all full of yin and yang.

Xu Zhongshan's expression was extremely ugly. He looked at the two of them coldly with a gloomy expression: "Zhou Huiguang, Gao Wenyang, why are you two pretending?"

What he couldn't stand the most was the hypocritical faces of these people, which was disgusting.

After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Jiangnian aside: "Brother Lin, I made you laugh. Don't pay attention to them two, let's go!"

Xu Zhongshan didn't know Lin Jiangnian's identity, but he knew that he might be implicated if he stayed here.If Brother Lin is targeted by Zhou Huiguang and others and gets implicated, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Therefore, Xu Zhongshan wanted to take Lin Jiangnian away first.

However, Lin Jiangnian did not move.

He stood there, looked at the two arrogant young men in front of him, and then at Xu Zhongshan, who had a gloomy face, and shook his head gently: "Don't leave in a hurry yet."

"They all said you didn't take them seriously. Now that you're gone, aren't you really giving them face?"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area was silent for a moment.

Xu Zhongshan's heart skipped a beat, not good!
What nonsense is Brother Lin talking about?
This, this is not...

Sure enough, when Lin Jiangnian finished speaking, the smiles on Zhou Huiguang and Gao Wenyang's faces froze almost at the same time.

Obviously, they heard the provocative gesture in Lin Jiangnian's words.

Zhou Huiguang's smile disappeared, and he suddenly turned to stare at Lin Jiangnian with an evil look in his eyes: "What did you say?!"

And his disappearing smile turned to Lin Jiangnian's face. He looked at Zhou Huiguang's unkind eyes and said with a half-smile, "Is Mr. Zhou deaf?"

"Need I repeat it again?"

His tone was light but full of provocation, causing Zhou Huiguang's expression to suddenly change. He stared at Lin Jiangnian: "You dare to scold me?!"

"Who are you? Dare you scold me?!"

Facing Zhou Huiguang's sudden change of attitude, Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "When did I scold Mr. Zhou?"

"You said that I am deaf?!"

"Master Zhou is not deaf, why do you have to ask a second time?"

The still understated words, coupled with Lin Jiangnian's always calm and half-smiling expression, seemed to be a huge provocation, which stimulated Zhou Huiguang's face to change drastically.

He stared at Lin Jiangnian angrily: "You, you... are looking for death?!"

Gao Wenyang on the side had no idea that this guy brought by Xu Zhongshan would be so courageous?

At this time, even Xu Zhongshan was a little confused!
Brother Lin, this is...

Provoke Zhou Huiguang?
It was really refreshing to see Zhou Huiguang's furious and jumping reaction.But Xu Zhongshan soon realized that something was wrong. Brother Lin offended Zhou Huiguang and broke his skin. I'm afraid something will not go well next.

With Zhou Huiguang's unyielding character, he will never give up.

"Brother Lin!"

Xu Zhongshan hurriedly tugged at Lin Jiangnian's clothes, looking anxious, and wanted to remind him, but Lin Jiangnian glanced back at him and sighed: "Brother Xu, since they are shameless, why do you give them Face?"

Xu Zhongshan's expression froze. When did he give them face?

Wait, what are you talking about?
By the time Xu Zhongshan realized something, he had noticed Zhou Huiguang's dark and angry eyes.

"Xu Zhongshan, I didn't expect the friends you know to be so courageous!"

Zhou Huiguang smiled sneerly, but his smile was superficial.

If it weren't for the Lu family's wedding, he would probably have to teach this guy who dared to provoke him a painful lesson on the spot.

However, he remembered this grudge.

"You are a very good boy and very courageous!"

Zhou Huiguang stared at Lin Jiangnian coldly, looked at him deeply for a few times, his eyes were full of sneer: "I hope you can still laugh later!"

"Why wait?"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes looked meaningful: "I thought Mr. Zhou would fall out on the spot when he was angry, but I didn't expect him to be so tolerant, like a bastard..."

Zhou Huiguang, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly turned around when he heard this, with a fierce look in his eyes: "What did you say?!"

It has to be said that every word Lin Jiangnian said seemed to sting the fragile self-esteem of Mr. Zhou.It was an understatement, but it allowed him to break his defense on the spot.

It turns out that these so-called dandies with high profile in Beijing are so unbearable.

"Nothing is nothing!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand quickly, "Bastard Zhou... ah no, Mr. Zhou, please hurry up and come back later. I'm not in a hurry, waiting for you..."

"you wanna die!!"

Zhou Huiguang finally became angry. Such nakedly provocative words completely angered him. His blood surged up and he rushed to Lin Jiangnian. He waved his fist and greeted him in the face.

"I will kill you!"

He, the dignified young master of the Zhou family, was actually called a bastard!

This is absolutely unbearable!

The angry Zhou Huiguang didn't care about the wedding at the Lu family at this time. He insisted on teaching this person a lesson and waved his fist to greet him.

"Snapped!"

A pleasant crisp sound sounded.

"what!"

Along with a scream, a loud and clear slap landed accurately on Zhou Huiguang's face.

Zhou Huiguang screamed and staggered a few steps, feeling dizzy. He was confused!

When he came back to his senses, the burning pain hit his face, making him realize... that he had been beaten? !
Got slapped in public? !
Got slapped by the guy in front of you?

A strong sense of humiliation, accompanied by the burning pain on his face, instantly overwhelmed Zhou Huiguang's reason.He was furious, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his heart.

"You dare to hit me?"

"You are looking for death, you are dead, I will kill you!!"

Zhou Huiguang, overwhelmed by anger and humiliation, rushed towards Lin Jiangnian again, looking like he was going to kill him.

"Clap!"

"Ah...ah!"

Two more crisp slaps sounded.

Lin Jiangnian stood there, facing Zhou Huiguang, who was charging at him with "murderous intent". He opened his bow with both hands and slapped him twice.

As the saying goes, you don't hit someone in the face when you hit someone!
Lin Jiangnian is a picker of tricks!

As the two slaps fell, Zhou Huiguang's face quickly became red and swollen, he became unsteady, spun around in circles, and fell to the ground.

"boom!"

All around, there is silence!
Maybe it happened so fast that no one had time to react.The surroundings were quiet, and their eyes fell on Zhou Huiguang, who was screaming on the ground, and Lin Jiangnian, who was standing there with a calm expression.

At this moment, the picture seemed to freeze.

Xu Zhongshan opened his mouth slightly and his pupils shrank slightly. He looked at the scene in front of him in shock, and his head froze due to shock.

Some unbelievable!

Brother Lin, actually beat Zhou Huiguang?

beated? !
Looking at Zhou Huiguang, who was lying on the ground and screaming, an indescribable feeling of pleasure surged into his heart.

Well done! !

At this moment, Xu Zhongshan felt like he was filled with anger!

He had long disliked Zhou Huiguang, and now that he saw him in such miserable condition, he felt extremely happy.

Time to fight!

But after a brief moment of relief, Xu Zhongshan's expression suddenly changed.

What a big deal!

Zhou Huiguang was indeed very happy when he was beaten, but then there would be a big problem!
Zhou Huiguang will not give up. What's more important is that today's Lu family wedding is probably going to be a big deal!

Brother Lin is in big trouble!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhongshan's face turned even more ugly.

On the other side, Gao Wenyang and others around him were also stunned.As early as when Zhou Huiguang and Lin Jiangnian had conflicts, some people were attracted to join in the fun.Seeing Zhou Huiguang being beaten now, most people's eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian.

Who is this person?
How dare you do it here?
Don’t you take the Lu family seriously?
There were whispers around, and Gao Wenyang seemed to have finally come to his senses.

"Are you OK?"

He quickly walked closer, glanced at Zhou Huiguang on the ground, and then raised his eyes to Lin Jiangnian with cold eyes: "How dare you hit Huiguang?!"

Lin Jiangnian stood there and raised his eyebrows: "Everyone here saw it, he was the one who made the move first!"

"good very good!"

Gao Wenyang realized that the person in front of him was probably a stupid young man who was not afraid of death. He turned to stare at Xu Zhongshan and sneered: "Xu Zhongshan, are these the friends you brought? It seems that your Xu family really has strong wings. Dare you Act wild here!" Xu Zhongshan's heart sank slightly. He knew that what happened today might be difficult. Now that he had offended the Zhou family and the Gao family, the consequences would be disastrous.But when he thought that today's trouble was also caused by him, he was the one who implicated Brother Lin, and he couldn't shirk the responsibility.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhongshan snorted coldly: "Everyone has seen it, it was Zhou Huiguang who took action first... He is not as skilled as others and yet he bites back. Do you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand in this capital and turn right and wrong?!"

"No matter what, Huiguang was injured by your people today. We will never let go of this debt!"

Gao Wenyang looked at Xu Zhongshan with a sneer. He did not expect that this stupid young man brought by Xu Zhongshan would really dare to take action.

Just looking for a dead end!
As for who made the first move?

Is this important?
Of all the people present, who will testify for the Xu family?
As expected, everyone around who had just witnessed this scene had strange looks in their eyes.

When Xu Zhongshan saw this scene, he realized something and his heart sank.

The forces in the capital are complex. Although his father holds a high position among the six departments, he does not have much real power.How could these people help him now?

"What happened? What happened?"

Just at this moment, a soft shout came.

The crowd parted a way, and several figures approached slowly.

A middle-aged man who looked like a butler approached, followed by several masters with restrained auras, who seemed to be the guards in the manor.

The middle-aged man glanced at several people. When he saw the man on the ground, he was slightly startled, and then quickly walked forward.

"This is... Mr. Zhou?!"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then he recognized the other person: "Mr. Zhou, who beat you like this?"

At this moment, Zhou Huiguang was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

The humiliation of being slapped in the face in public was something he would never forget, and the dazzling glares from around him made him even more humiliated. He wished he could have fainted on the spot.

So, I simply chose to pretend to be dizzy!
Even if the housekeeper made a sound, he pretended not to hear it.

"Steward Lu, you came just in time!"

Gao Wenyang sneered: "They are making trouble here and beat Mr. Zhou like this!"

"what?!"

When Butler Lu heard this, his expression immediately changed. How dare someone dare to cause trouble here?

Today is the wedding day of their young master. If he makes trouble here, isn't this a slap in their face?
Butler Lu turned around with a cold expression, his eyes falling on Xu Zhongshan and Lin Jiangnian standing aside.

When he saw Xu Zhongshan, Butler Lu's eyes changed slightly. He naturally recognized Xu Zhongshan.The second son of the Xu family, the Xu family is not very powerful in Beijing. Xu Zhongshan's grandfather is the current Minister of Rites, with little real power, and he is approaching retirement age. Therefore, the Xu family is in decline in Beijing.

Looking at Lin Jiangnian next to him, Butler Lu frowned. He had a handsome appearance and extraordinary abilities, but he looked unfamiliar and had never seen him before.Although his clothes are simple, his temperament is extremely good.

Butler Lu knew a lot of people, so he could tell at a glance that this young man might not be easy.However, the other party dared to make trouble here today, and Butler Lu's face became colder.

"You were the one who beat Mr. Zhou?"

Faced with Butler Lu's questioning, Xu Zhongshan immediately explained: "Steward Lu, it was Zhou Huiguang who provoked and made the first move. Brother Lin was just acting in self-defense..."

"So, he was indeed the one who beat Mr. Zhou?"

Butler Lu interrupted Xu Zhongshan with a cold expression.

Xu Zhongshan was startled and speechless for a moment.Zhou Huiguang was indeed beaten by Brother Lin, but that was not...

"Today is my young master's wedding day. If you are making trouble here, don't you take our Lu family seriously?" Butler Lu looked at Xu Zhongshan expressionlessly.

Xu Zhongshan waved his hand quickly: "Steward Lu, this is absolutely not the case, it's just..."

But Butler Lu didn't give Xu Zhongshan a chance to explain, and snorted coldly: "I will report today's matter to you truthfully. In consideration of the friendship between Mr. Xu and my master, I will not hold you responsible today..."

At this point, Butler Lu's eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian again, and he said expressionlessly: "You made trouble here today, injured Young Master Zhou, and ruined my young master's wedding. You will not be treated lightly!"

"Come here, take it down for me and hand it over to the master for punishment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several nursing masters behind Butler Lu walked toward Lin Jiangnian.

"Housekeeper Lu!"

Seeing this, Xu Zhongshan became anxious and quickly stopped in front of him: "This matter has nothing to do with Brother Lin. It was Zhou Huiguang who took action first, and it is also the grudge between Zhou Huiguang and me..."

But Butler Lu gave him a cold look: "Xu Zhongshan, for your grandfather's sake, I won't care about what happened today. Do you really think you can do whatever you want?"

Xu Zhongshan's heart suddenly sank, and he was anxious to explain something more, but was stopped by Lin Jiangnian on the side.

"You haven't seen it yet?"

"what?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Gao Wenyang, who was looking at them with a sneer, as well as the figures around him who looked like they were watching a good show, and the expressionless Butler Lu. His tone was very soft, but with a bit of sarcasm: "They are obviously in the same group. , don’t care about the truth.”

Xu Zhongshan was startled and looked up. Then he suddenly realized something and his face turned pale.

Butler Lu stared at Lin Jiangnian coldly: "How dare you talk nonsense, catch me!"

Several nursing staff approached Lin Jiangnian, but Lin Jiangnian turned a blind eye. After turning his head to look at the crowd, he suddenly sneered.

"Li Qianlin, do you plan to continue hiding?"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings were instantly quiet.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd on the other side suddenly parted, and a young man with handsome appearance and good temperament appeared in everyone's sight.

The moment he was discovered, he panicked slightly, his face was a bit livid, and a bit gloomy. When he looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes, a flash of fierce hatred flashed across his face.

"Brother Qian Lin?!"

Gao Wenyang looked a little happy when he saw the person coming: "You're here too?!"

At this time, Li Qianlin's face was slightly livid. Seeing that the nursing staff were approaching Lin Jiangnian, he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Stop!"

The nursing staff stopped and looked at Li Qianlin, then turned to look at Butler Lu.

Butler Lu also looked at Li Qianlin in confusion.

For a moment, everyone present was confused, wondering what happened?
Isn’t Li Qianlin good friends with Zhou Huiguang and Gao Wenyang?Now that Butler Lu is standing up for Zhou Huiguang, why should Li Qianlin stop him?
Facing the comments around him, Li Qianlin looked very unhappy.

Why did he want to stop it?

I even wished that the people from the Lu family would take down the person in front of me. It would be better to kill him!
But he can't...

The moment he was discovered by Lin Jiangnian, he realized that something was wrong.

If he just sits back and ignores it, then he has cheated the Lu family!
Afterwards, the Lu family will definitely settle the score with him.

Staring at the familiar face and figure in front of him, Li Qianlin had mixed emotions, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

Li Qianlin took a deep breath, concealed the strangeness in his eyes, and said with a sneer: "Lin Jiangnian, I didn't expect you to be alive!"

"Are you disappointed?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him. He had already spotted Li Qianlin hiding in the crowd.

Li Qianlin didn't show up, obviously he wanted to use the Lu family to trick Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Jiangnian didn't give him this chance!

"I am indeed disappointed." Li Qianlin sneered, not hiding his deep hatred for Lin Jiangnian.

At the same time, there is still a bit of deep reluctance.

He really didn't die!
Why didn't he die? !

Li Qianlin's eyes were cold, and his unwillingness emerged crazily.

It's obviously a dragnet, it's obviously a sure-fire situation... Why is his life so good!

Why doesn't he die? ! !
……

Following the brief exchange between the two, there was a brief silence around them.

Lin Jiangnian?
Why does this name sound so familiar?

I seem to have heard of it somewhere?
Everyone was puzzled. When Butler Lu heard the name, he was slightly suspicious at first because the name was very familiar.

The next second, as if he suddenly realized something, his pupils shrank suddenly and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Lin, Lin Jiangnian?!"

"Lin, Prince Lin?!"

Butler Lu's voice was not loud, and even trembled a bit due to shock, but it was particularly clear in the quiet surroundings at this moment.

Everyone present was startled. The name Lin Jiangnian seemed familiar to them, but if the words "Prince Lin Wang's Crown Prince" were added to it...

In an instant, everyone reacted almost at the same time.

Lin Jiangnian, isn't it the name of Prince Lin? !

Prince Lin? !
The next second, countless eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian.Staring at this young man with handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, some people were shocked in disbelief.

"Lin Jiangnian? He is Prince Lin?!"

"Is he really still alive?"

"Wait a minute, Prince Lin is so handsome? Really, really?"

"Damn it, did I see the real Prince Lin?!!"

After a brief moment of silence, the surrounding area was suddenly filled with uproar like a storm.

The noise instantly overwhelmed everything.

Everyone looked shocked, staring at Lin Jiangnian in disbelief, sizing up the legendary Prince Lin.

He is Prince Lin? !
It’s completely different from the one in the legend!

There were not many people watching at first, but as soon as the name Prince Lin came out, it quickly attracted the attention of many people nearby, and they all came closer.

All of a sudden, there were more and more people!

Shocked by the news, countless people were stunned and in disbelief.

There was an uproar.

"Brother Lin..."

As the crowd was noisy, a hoarse voice came.

Lin Jiangnian turned his head and saw Xu Zhongshan staring at him in shock. After a long time, his eyes were particularly complicated: "You, are you Lin Jiangnian?"

Lin Jiangnian did not deny it and nodded.

"Lin, Prince Lin?"

Still nodding.

"You, didn't you say your name is Lin Kong?" At this moment, Xu Zhongshan's eyes were somewhat resentful, and he felt as if he had been deceived.

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "How can a person wander around the world without a vest..."

"Brother Xu, there are not many fools like you who are so honest and reveal your real name when we first meet..."

"..."
