Tibetan Sea Pearl

As night fell, the moonlight shattered the shadows of the trees, and the lamps were turned on in the study, and the lights were not turned off until the eastern sky appeared white on the second day.

Nansong came back from inquiring about the news. This Tiger Villa is located outside the south gate of the city. It was a courtyard built by the old Yongjiahou when he was building the Zhenhai Building in Guangzhou during the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Later, it was in disrepair for a long time and it was close to the seaside. It lasts for half a year. After being devastated by the typhoon, the descendants of the Marquis of Yongjia had no intention of taking care of it, so it fell into disrepair.

Decided to go to the banquet, Lin Cheng left his aides to guard the mansion. He personally selected a group of elites and secretly ambushed them on the mountain near Tiger Villa. Tiger Villa.

The trees in Tiger Mountain Villa have not been pruned for many years, and the branches and leaves are lush, towering into the clouds, and weeds are overgrown everywhere. Several houses not far away can be seen to have been repaired by people. There are two rows of bamboo poles in the open space in front of the houses. The clothes, the house should be lived in, the house used to be a large fish pond.

Coming to a strange place, Lin Cheng glanced around vigilantly, and soon found that Tiger Villa had only one entrance and no exit. If he wanted to go out, he had to go out through the original gate.

Looking at the large fish pond, there is a second exit, which is the large fish pond in front of you, and you can swim through the fish pond.

"This Liu Jiang is so fucking cunning that he chose such a ghostly place." Lin Cheng cursed secretly.

It was quiet all around, no one came to greet them, and no one spoke.

Lin Cheng stood where he was, unconsciously pressing his hand on the sword worn at his waist.

"Master, there are people over the fish pond." Nan Song lowered his voice.

As soon as he entered the Tiger Villa, Lin Chengcheng found a fisherman wearing a bamboo hat fishing by the fish pond.Lin Cheng held the sword with both hands, nodded, and signaled Nansong not to speak with his eyes, as speaking would reduce people's sensitivity to surrounding sounds.

After pricking up his ears and listening for a while, Lin Chengcai strode towards the fish pond.

"Brother Lin Cheng, I didn't scare you when we met for the first time." The fisherman's voice was so loud and full of air that people could hear it from afar.

Needless to say, it was Liu Jiang who was fishing. Lin Cheng cupped his hands in the direction of the fisherman, and walked over with staring eyes.

Liu Jiang was of medium height, with dark skin and an ordinary appearance. He looked like a farmer who planted a farm on a farm. Who would have thought that the man in front of him was the leader of Japanese pirates who killed people without blinking an eye.

As the footsteps got closer, Liu Jiang calmly put the earthworms on the hook, threw the fishing line into the pond, and waited for the fish to take the bait.

Lin Cheng got closer and closer, and stopped at a place three steps away from Liu Jiang. He stood aside and watched people fishing. Fishing, secretly looking at Lin Cheng secretly.

This is the first time the two parties have met, and they haven't touched each other's temperament yet.

After a while, a small crucian carp took the bait.

Liu Jiang took out the lively fish on the grass from the hook and put it into the barrel, "Come on, Brother Lin Cheng, I'll treat you to crucian carp soup at noon."

Such a small crucian carp is used to make soup?

Lin Cheng looked at the little crucian carp swimming in the wooden barrel after regaining his freedom, and bowed his hands to Liu Jiang, "Thank you!"

When he arrived at the room where the clothes were dried, Liu Jiang handed the small crucian carp to a woman and told her to go to the kitchen to boil a pot of fish soup.

At first, Lin Cheng thought that Liu Jiang was just talking superficially, but he didn't expect that such a small fish would really be made into crucian carp soup. It seems that Liu Jiang followed his word.

"It's humble and humble, I hope brother Lin Cheng doesn't dislike him." Liu Jiang beckoned Lin Cheng to sit down.

Dare to come to the Tiger Villa for a banquet alone with only two subordinates, Lin Cheng's courage and vision are not to be underestimated.

Lin Cheng sat down on the chair, and glanced at the main room from the corner of his eye. There was no dust on the furniture in the room, and it was wiped clean. There were no other unnecessary decorations in the room, only a long wooden table and a few wooden chairs. I wonder if Liu Jiang lives here. How long.

"I, Liu Jiang, am a rough person. I don't know how to say polite words. Today I will cut to the chase and ask brother Lin Cheng to do me a favor." Liu Jiang said loudly.

Liu Jiang was originally a farmer, and lived by planting a few acres of thin land. In a disaster year, locusts ate up the crops in the field, and his parents and older sisters starved to death. He escaped from the village with his two younger brothers. , followed a group of people who claimed to be "Liangshan heroes", and occupied a deserted island. At first, they only robbed the rich and helped the poor, robbed the ships of the rich merchants passing by at sea, and did not kill anyone.

Later, more and more people joined the gang, and the gang grew from more than 100 people to thousands of people. The desert island was poor in materials and had no food source. People on the island always had to eat. At this time, maritime trade was not developed. It was no longer possible to maintain the livelihood of the people on the island by robbing passing ships, and later it developed to rob the food and property of coastal villagers.

Liu Jiang has been on the road for a long time, and he is acquainted with each other, and he talks to Lin Cheng's brother, as if he is very familiar with him.

Lin Cheng doesn't like to be with others, "I'm a small magistrate, I'm afraid I can't help you."

"You are too modest." Liu Jiang laughed loudly, "How can you be the prefect of Guangzhou without certain skills? This is the prefect of Guangzhou."

At this time, there is no need to excuse excuses, Lin Cheng asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Liu Jiang didn't speak, and there was a moment of silence in the room.

Lin Cheng's eyes signaled Nan Song and the others standing beside him to step back.

Nan Song looked at Lin Cheng nervously, and seeing Lin Cheng nodding firmly at him, he led the people back out.

"Now you can talk."

"Brother Lin Cheng is really a straightforward person." Liu Jiangdao, "You must have heard about the recent incidents in the court. The court wants to recruit us. It is said to be recruited, but to put it bluntly, it is to make way for Mr. Zheng. Mr. Zheng is a waste of time and money. What is Western, he is a servant, stay well in the capital, eat delicious food and drink spicy food, isn't it delicious?"

Lin Cheng had a sullen face and did not speak. He analyzed Liu Jiang from the words and lines, and gradually figured out the other party's temperament.

"Zhaoan, damn it, it's a joke!" Liu Jiangyang said loudly, "The imperial court has long disliked us, and has long wished to take us away. On the surface, it is Zhaoan, but secretly they don't know what kind of dirty tricks they have done. means against us."

"The story of the Liangshan hero, I have heard from Mr. Shu since I was a child, not everyone who recruits will end up like the Liangshan hero, you worry too much." Lin Cheng's expression froze, "Come to live on land, be a Is the officer okay?"

"Not good!" Liu Jiang hastily interrupted Lin Cheng, "Officials and gangsters colluded, how many honest officials are there in the current officials?"

It seems that Liu Jiang is very dissatisfied with the current court.

"Isn't it good to keep your wife and children warm?" Lin Cheng asked.

Liu Jiang shook his head.

When it comes to his wife and children, Lin Cheng can see that Liu Jiang's heart is a little shaken.

Different ways do not conspire with each other. Lin Cheng and Liu Jiang are in different positions and have different ideas when it comes to recruiting An to become an official. Lin Cheng is not reluctant.

"How did Prefect Liu die, do you know?" Liu Jiang asked.
