Fang Dunru has resigned for many years and has lived in seclusion at Songshan Academy for twenty years. As far as Lin Jue knew, the imperial court had always wanted to reactivate Fang Dunru. In his casual conversation with Lin Jue, Fang Dunru revealed more than once that the imperial court wanted him to go out of the mountain, but Fang Dunru refused. Since Fang Dunru has decided not to go out of the mountain as an official again, why did he accept Yan Zhengsu's invitation to return to the court this time? There must be a reason for this.

With Fang Dunru's style, it is impossible for him to be willing to go out of the mountain to become an official because he is a close friend of Yan Zhengsu. Otherwise, for so many years, Yan Zhengsu has been an official in the court, why did Fang Dunru insist on living in seclusion in Songshan Academy? In Lin Jue's heart, he always felt that although Fang Dunru lived in seclusion in Songshan Academy, he had always cared about the major affairs of the court and politics. This can be seen from both daily conversations and Lin Jue's manuscripts of articles compiled for Fang Dunru.

Therefore, this matter is actually very contradictory, on the one hand, he insisted on not being summoned by the imperial court to go out of the mountain to live in seclusion in Songshan, on the other hand, he paid attention to the government and wrote many articles to express his views, showing unusual concern, which is extremely puzzling.

Lin Jue thought about it, and the only explanation he could give was that Fang Dunru didn't want to go out of the mountain, nor did he just want to live in seclusion. He's just looking for the right moment. And now, since he has decided to accept Yan Zhengsu's invitation to enter Beijing as an official together, he must feel that this opportunity has come. Perhaps, Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru have reached a high degree of consensus on some matters, and this time Yan Zhengsu may take up an important position in Beijing, and Fang Dunru may think that this is an excellent opportunity to implement the consensus reached by the two. He didn't want to be an official after entering the court, he wanted to do something, and at this point, Yan Zhengsu's upward adjustment just gave the best opportunity, so Fang Dunru decided to go out of the mountain resolutely.

If this inference is true, it can fully explain the inconsistencies in Fang's conduct. It's not that you don't want to do things, but you have to have someone to work together and have enough strength to do things. This also shows from the side that after Yan Zhengsu is transferred to the capital this time, he will definitely hold an important position and hold authority. And what kind of big things these two will do when they enter Beijing hand in hand, Lin Jue can't guess for the time being. Judging only by those strange words just now, this matter will be earth-shattering and shake the world.

Lin Juexiang's brain hurt, shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore, for now he just needs to do his own thing, and he doesn't have to think about the things he doesn't understand, so as not to worry about himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Jue sighed and raised his head, looking at the surrounding street markets. The streets are full of people and rush to and fro. Ships shuttle through the river ahead, and the market is still bustling. In late autumn, when the tall trees along the streets fall from time to time, this old and bustling city is beautiful at any time. Although not many of the people who live in his arms every day realize this.

Lin Jue shook the reins of the horse and urged the horse to speed forward, he didn't want to stay on the street longer, so as not to be recognized and cause unnecessary trouble. However, the horse had just trotted a few steps when a large cart in front of him, which was walking sideways, suddenly rushed over obliquely, blocking Lin Jue's horse's head. The trotting horse was about to hit the back of the carriage, Lin Jue hurriedly took the reins, the horse screamed, turned sharply to the right, and avoided the rear-end chase.

The cart stopped, and Lin Jue rushed to the corner between the inside of the carriage and a wall on the side of the road, and was forced into a dead corner by the cart. Lin Jue frowned and wanted to reprimand the driver who was driving the car, but suddenly, another big car rushed straight from the rear, blocking the retreat in the rear. When Lin Jue looked back, the driver of the big car behind him was jumping out of the wheel, the man was tall and muscular, and the hem of his black short coat was bulging, as if he was carrying a blade. At the same time, the driver of the big car in front of him and the side door of the carriage also opened, and several big men rushed forward silently, looking at Lin Jue one by one, their eyes full of unkindness.

Lin Jue immediately realized that the situation was not good, and his first reaction was that these people were afraid that they were the remnants of the bandits and were going to come to find trouble for themselves. Lin Jue subconsciously reached out and touched his waist, although everything tended to be calm during this time, the security in Hangzhou City was extremely strict, and Yan Zhengsu's investigation of the remnants of the bandits was also very strict and meticulous, but Lin Jue actually did not relax his vigilance at all. Haidong Qingliu fled, which will always be a huge threat to Lin Jue, so Lin Jue must take the Wang Ba box with him when he goes out, and he will carry two handles. One is in the leather pouch on one side of the saddle, and the other is at the waist.

"Lin Gongzi, it's best not to act rashly, we don't want to hurt you. But if you don't know how to lift, don't blame our men for being ruthless. A big man crushed his throat and shouted coldly. At the same time, he lifted the short sleeves on his arm, revealing a bamboo-like object tied to his arm. It was clearly a hidden weapon for firing crossbow arrows. Several big men around also rolled up their sleeves, revealing the hidden weapons on their arms.

"We know you have powerful firearms, but you're afraid you can only kill one or two of us, and the rest will send you to the west with poisoned arrows." The man slowly lowered his cuffs, but his arms were still facing Lin Jue.

Lin Jue frowned and quickly looked at the surrounding terrain, the right side was a wall more than a zhang high, and the left and rear sides were surrounded by two large cars, with his own ability, it was impossible to escape. Rather than that, it's better not to act rashly.

Lin Jue slowly took his hand off his waist, spread his hands and smiled: "Everyone take it easy, I don't have the intention of acting rashly, and you don't use that thing against me, in case you accidentally start it, it's not good." ”

The big man waved his hand, and several men put their arms down. Lin Jue frowned and said, "Who are the brothers?" What is the purpose of stopping in broad daylight? What is the difficulty of the brothers? If you are short of money, it is very easy to do, and if you say a few people, I will give it as much as you want, and you will make a friend. ”

The big man smiled coldly and said, "Lin Gongzi seems to treat us as bandits and thieves. Lin Gongzi misunderstood, I didn't come to grab money, it was my family who wanted to see you, and we came to invite you to meet my family. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Who is your family?" Why do you need to fight like this to see me? ”

The big man said in a deep voice: "We are only responsible for doing things according to orders, and I still ask Lin Gongzi Mo to ask about other things." If you want to ask, you can ask my family. As for who my family is, you will know when you see it. ”

Lin Jue was calculating endlessly, he really couldn't think of who would use this means to meet him. Could it be that his behavior a few days ago offended some scribe officials who wanted to meet with him, and some of them were dissatisfied, so they used this method to force themselves to meet? It's also unlikely, in the city of Hangzhou, these people dare to behave like this?

"Lin Gongzi, please come with us, I don't want to offend Lin Gongzi, and I ask Gongzi to cooperate." Dahan seemed to be a little impatient.

"What if I don't want to go to your house? What should you do? Did you kill me in the street? Lin Jue tilted his head and said.

The big man frowned and said, "Young Master Lin, I have made it clear, we have no malicious intentions. But if Childe has to force us to be strong, then we can't do it. If you hurt Lin Gongzi, there is no way. ”

Lin Jue said: "In broad daylight, do you dare to use strong? Then you will not be able to escape the hunt. ”

Dahan slowly raised his arm and said to Lin Jue: "What Lin Gongzi said is true, but we were ordered to come, and it will not be possible for Gongzi to invite him not to go." Although it's not good for everyone to make trouble, it's strictly ordered, and you have to use it if you can't say it. Childe don't delay any longer, please ask Lin Gongzi to get off the car. ”

Several big men around slowly leaned forward, one grabbed the bridle of the horse, one reached out to grab the tail of the horse, and the other reached out to put on the saddle.

Lin Jue thought for a while and sighed: "That's it, I'll go with you, but there is no need to make a fuss." It's just that if we go out of the city, it will be too long, and the people in my family will probably be suspicious, and they may have to report to the police at that time. ”

"Don't worry, Childe is only in the city, not out of the city. It won't be too long, and it will arrive soon. The man said.

Lin Jue nodded slightly, and his heart settled down a little. Since they were in the city, they could be sure that they were not the remnants of the bandits. The pirates simply don't have the guts to settle in the city now. The current situation is also unable to escape, and he forcibly escaped, afraid that he would die here. The hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, but takes one step at a time to see who he wants to see behind the scenes.

Lin Jue had no choice but to turn over and dismount, a big man lifted the curtain of the cart to let Lin Jue enter, and then two men sandwiched Lin Jue in the middle, the door closed, the curtain fell, and the two carts drove forward one after the other. The people on the street didn't know anything, and they thought that it was just two big cars chasing after each other, but now the big cars left, and no one noticed that there was a hijacking on the street.

There was nothing outside in sight from the dark carriage, only the sound of traffic on the street and the shouting of boatmen in the river. With these sounds, Lin Jue was sure that he was walking along the street next to the river in the city, but the direction was unknown. It didn't seem to have been long walking, but it didn't take more than a quarter of an hour to get full, and the noise around it gradually faded away, and the surroundings became quiet. Lin Juezheng wondered if he was out of Hangzhou City, and suddenly the carriage stopped, and the muffled voice of the driver came from the wheel in front of him.

"Big brother, it's time to get some."

The leading man sitting beside Lin Jue stretched out his hand to open the curtains, pushed the door and jumped out of the carriage.

"Lin Gongzi, please get out of the car." Dahan said politely.

Lin Jue squinted and got out of the car, looked around, and found himself in a quiet alley, flanked by long fences, and with a smooth bluestone pavement underfoot. On the fence next to it, the trees are lush and the environment is quiet.

Lin Jue thought for a long time and didn't figure out which street this was, although he was already very familiar with Hangzhou, but it was impossible to identify these alleys and alleys, after all, in a large city with a population of one million, there were many such secluded alleys like cobwebs, and even the people who had lived here all their lives might not be able to know them all.

Several people hugged Lin Jue and walked forward a few steps and came to a small gatehouse. The gate tower of the courtyard gate is not tall, and the ordinary wooden door with eaves is very ordinary. The courtyard walls on both sides of the gatehouse are covered with grapevines. Although the leaves of the grapes have turned yellow and sparse, there are still clusters of purple grapes hanging on them, and the color is very attractive and very attractive.

"Go and report to the lord, and say that the person has come." The leading man commanded in a low voice, and a man nodded in response, pushing open the hidden door and entering the courtyard.
