Chapter 14 I can eat, but I can’t do things (please collect, recommend, and invest)

The night is as cool as water.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a waning moon was hidden deep in the clouds.

On the street, vendors setting up stalls shouted vigorously.

In the distance at the alley entrance, acrobats breathed flames from their mouths.

"drive!"

The sound of horse hooves is like thunder.

Dozens of fierce horses galloped from the alley, and the forged iron hoof prints fell on the bluestone floor, making a crisp sound.

After the patrolling government officials saw those figures from a distance, they quickly dodged away and cursed themselves for bad luck.

…

"Xu~"

Lin Mang yanked the reins fiercely and jumped off the horse.

Behind them, a group of warriors in golden robes jumped off their horses and stood behind them with cold expressions.

In front of Tiansheng Restaurant, several drunken guests were so frightened that they almost woke up.

Lin Mang held the embroidered spring knife at his waist with his left hand and strode into the restaurant.

A waiter on the side stepped forward cautiously and said respectfully: "Is your surname Lin?"

Lin Mang nodded slightly.

The waiter in the restaurant said hurriedly: "Mr. Lin, Clan Chief Zhou is already waiting in the private room on the third floor."

Lin Xian glanced at him and sneered: "If you invite me to a banquet, the host won't come out to greet me?"

"In this case, it's okay not to attend this banquet!"

After saying that, turn around and leave!

The moment Lin Mang was about to step out of the door, a figure quickly chased him out.

"Master Lin, please wait!"

Zhou Yuan quickly caught up with him and said apologetically: "Master Lin, wait a minute. It's because of our lack of etiquette that we have neglected Master Lin. Please make atonement for your sins."

Lin Mang narrowed his eyes, stared at Zhou Yuan and asked, "Are you..."

"I will be the chief registrar of this county next week."

"Master Zhou!" Lin Mang casually cupped his hand.

Zhou Yuan said apologetically: "Master Lin, please atone for your sins because we have lost our etiquette."

Lin Mang sneered in his heart.

It sounds nice, but I just want to give myself a shot in the arm.

Lin Mang's expression was cold: "I thought Chief Zhou looked down on me!"

Zhou Yuan's face changed slightly and he said hurriedly: "How dare you? Your Majesty's words are really an injustice to me. I would never dare to do this."

Although many people often abuse these evil demons of Yama in private, no one dares to slander them publicly.

Slandering the Emperor's pro-army forces is tantamount to insulting the Emperor, which is a serious crime.

No one would want to enter Jin Yiwei's prison.

Lin Mang said lightly: "I hope so!"

Zhou Yuan bowed slightly and said respectfully: "Sir, please go upstairs to the private room."

Lin Mang held up his knife and went upstairs, followed closely by a group of royal guards.

Zhou Yuan had the intention to stop him, but looking at the cold faces with condensed evil spirits, he had no choice but to give up.

…

In the private room,

Lin Mang walked in with an embroidered spring knife on his shoulder, his eyes fixed on the middle-aged man opposite.

Eye to eye!

Lin Mang didn't say a word, and didn't even move an inch.

Zhou Shijin stood up with a smile on his face: "Master Lin, I would like to express my gratitude to you for coming here."

Only then did a smile appear on Lin Mang's face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Chief Zhou, for your warm hospitality!"

"But today, all my brothers are on duty with me. I wonder if this banquet is enough?"

A trace of astonishment appeared on Zhou Shijin's elegant face, and he quickly smiled and said: "Sir Lin, you are serious. It is Zhou's honor to invite you brothers to dinner."

Lin Mang turned around and said, "Thank you for the hospitality, Chief Zhou!"

All the royal guards held up their hands and shouted in a deep voice: "Thank you, Patriarch Zhou, for your hospitality!"

The smile on Zhou Shijin's face was somewhat forced. He turned around and ordered: "Zhou Yuan, ask the chef to prepare a few more banquet tables."

Zhou Yuan nodded, turned and left.

Lin Mang raised his hand, and a group of royal guards filed out from behind him and sat down outside the box.

An imperceptible solemnity flashed in Zhou Shijin's eyes.

Lin Mang sat down with a big sword beside him, and then started eating as if no one else was watching.

The rotating beads in Zhou Shijin's hand stopped again, and his thumb pressed a shallow mark on one of the beads.

…

outside the box,

A group of royal guards were discussing quietly.

A young-looking man in golden clothes said happily: "Brother Sheng, it's good to follow Mr. Lin, you can have free whoring every day!"

The smile on your face is beautiful!

The other Jin Yiwei also smiled in unison.

The few knights in golden clothes next to him had envious expressions on their faces.

They were Dong Wenshan's subordinates. When they were classified as Lin Xiaoqi's subordinates, they were extremely worried, but they didn't expect that they would be brought here today.

It touches my heart somewhat!

To be honest, when I followed Dong Wenshan, I couldn't even make much money, let alone eat at Tiansheng Restaurant.

That guy Dong Wenshan only cares about making money for himself and never cares about their life or death.

They also know a little bit about the situation of Wang Dasheng and others.

In the entire hundred households, there is no one who does not envy him.

Now that I think about it, it seems that changing my boss is a good thing.

Wang Dasheng coughed dryly and said coldly: "Eat more and talk less!"

"Yes, yes..." Everyone agreed one after another.

…

After having enough wine and food, Lin Mang wiped his mouth with satisfaction and said, "Thank you very much, Chief Zhou, for your hospitality today."

"I still have official business to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Zhou Shijin's face turned completely cold.

"Master Lin!"

Zhou Shijin's tone seemed a little rude, and he said coldly: "To be honest, I invited Mr. Lin to come here today for one reason."

Lin Mang stood up and looked down at Zhou Shijin, and said calmly: "What about Wang Lie?"

"Yes!" Zhou Shijin nodded and said: "Wang Lie hurt people for no reason, crippled my Zhou family's children, and triggered the law first. Please ask Mr. Lin to let me take him back to the county government."

"My Zhou family is willing to offer me a small profit, and I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Lin for his great kindness!"

As he spoke, he placed a brocade box on the table.

"Triggering the law?" Lin Mang looked cold and sneered: "Clan Chief Zhou, do you really think that my Jin Yiwei is an incompetent person?"

"That weekend, he defiled the women of the people, beat the old man to death, and even let the evil slaves kill people. I dare to ask the leader of Zhou, what kind of crime should such behavior be?"

"Also, what is the crime for bribing Jin Yiwei?"

Zhou Shijin's face changed slightly.

"Master Lin, is there such a thing?"

Soon he said with anger on his face: "Damn you bastard, you should be cut into pieces for doing such evil things!"
