Sword from Songshan

Chapter 60 The drama finally begins
On the Autumnal Equinox, the Big Dipper points to the west.

The sun and the moon are equally divided, and the day and night are of equal length.

"Ping'er, why did you come back so late? Where are the crabs? Did you hand them over to the kitchen?"

When the autumn wind blows, crabs' feet itch. It is the time to eat crabs. Lu Nanxing happens to be at home, so Lin Zhennan wants to hold a crab feast tonight to entertain this benefactor and distinguished guest.

When Lin Pingzhi heard this, he volunteered to buy crabs and said that the crabs bought by the kitchen last year were of very bad quality. Not only were they small but there were also dead crabs mixed in. This time he would go to buy them himself and make sure to pick up all the fat and fresh crabs.

Unexpectedly, two hours later, when Lin Pingzhi came back, there was no sign of the crab.

Looking more closely, Lin Pingzhi's clothes and hair were a little messy, and the corners of his clothes were torn.

Lin Zhennan's face immediately darkened and he scolded.

"But I got into a fight with someone!"

"Yes."

Lin Pingzhi nodded and admitted it honestly, but then his face became full of anger again.

"Damn you Sichuan kid, you wasted two baskets of good crabs!"

"A Sichuan kid?"

Hearing these three words, Lu Nanxing next to him was slightly startled and looked over here.

"Why did you fight with outsiders?"

Lin Zhennan didn't think much about it, his expression was serious, and he scolded a few more times.

"That's what your father taught you! The purpose of learning martial arts is to help the weak and fight against the strong, not to make you brave and aggressive!"

"Captain of the Escorts! You are really wrongly accusing the Junior Escorts!"

Bai Er, the porter who went to buy crabs with Lin Pingzhi, quickly spoke up and spoke up for Lin Pingzhi.

"It was obviously those Sichuan kids who were unreasonable. The young escort leader could no longer tolerate it, so he started fighting with them."

Then, Bai Er narrated the whole story from beginning to end.

It’s nothing really, just a fight over crabs.

Lin Pingzhi arrived early and picked out two baskets of the best crabs. The two Sichuanese arrived late and saw that there were no good crabs left, so they fought for the crabs that Lin Pingzhi had selected.

Although Lin Pingzhi was not a playboy, he was not a coward either. How could he allow himself to be bullied? He immediately started arguing with the two Sichuanese and then they started fighting.

"Come to think of it, those two Sichuan kids are pretty good at martial arts."

Lin Pingzhi snorted coldly, then became proud.

"Luckily Uncle Lu taught me the Eagle Claw Technique, so I was able to fight them off. It's just a pity that the two baskets of crabs were knocked over during the fight and all of them were trampled and crushed."

"Two baskets of crabs are not worth much, just ask someone to buy more."

He was not trying to cause any trouble, and seeing that Lin Pingzhi had not suffered any loss, Lin Zhennan's expression finally relaxed.

"How are those two Sichuan people?"

Lu Nanxing had been listening quietly, and only then spoke and asked a question.

"Did you kill them, or seriously injure them?"

"Kill them? How is that possible?"

Lin Pingzhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said.

"Although they were unreasonable, they were just two baskets of crabs. How could I kill them? I just beat them back and didn't hurt them."

"Well, that's exactly it."

Lin Zhennan nodded, looking relieved.

"so……"

Lu Nanxing also nodded, but he was secretly pondering in his heart.

Those two Sichuan people should be disciples of Qingcheng Sect!
The original plot begins with a fight between Lin Pingzhi and the disciples of Qingcheng Sect.

The difference is that in the original novel, Lin Pingzhi accidentally killed Yu Canghai's son Yu Renyan, which gave Yu Canghai an excuse to eventually massacre the entire Fuwei Escort Agency.

But now, Lin Pingzhi did not kill anyone, and was not even seriously injured.

In this case, will the plot continue to move forward?

"Humph."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Nanxing snorted.

The leading actors have already taken to the stage, so why are you still worried that the play can't be performed?

……

"Brother Lu, this crab is the most delicious. Enjoy it slowly."

At night, in the garden of Fuwei Escort Agency, Lin Zhennan ordered people to buy more crabs, and put a full table with various steamed, boiled, fried and fried crabs to entertain Lu Nanxing. "Thank you, Brother Lin."

Lu Nanxing took it, used crab meat slices to tear the crab apart, and tasted it carefully with ginger vinegar.

Come to think of it, this was the first time he had enjoyed a crab so deliciously since he came to this world.

"Oh no! Chief Escort!"

The three were enjoying crabs when there was a sudden commotion outside and several porters came running over in a hurry.

"You are even more unruly in front of the guests!"

Lin Zhennan frowned and scolded.

"What's all the fuss about!"

"Report...Report to the Chief Escort, Bai Er is dead!"

"Ok?"

For the owner of an escort agency, the death of a few people is not a big deal. The key point is that this crab feast is really unlucky.

This disturbed Lu Nanxing's mood, which was quite unpleasant.

Lin Zhennan frowned again and asked in a deep voice.

"What a bunch of bastards! Who killed him? You guys were fighting over money again."

"Not without!"

Chen Qi's face was full of anxiety, and he quickly explained.

"I ate the crabs given by the master in a hurry and got a stomachache. When I went to the toilet just now, I saw Bai Er lying in the vegetable garden next to the toilet. There was no scar on his body, but his whole body was cold. I don't know how he died!"

"Is that so? Could it be some kind of emergency?"

Lin Zhennan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he found out that he didn't die in a fight.

Although people in this line of work have to keep their heads down, it would be a troublesome matter if someone died in a fight in this city.

Since this is not the case, you can rest assured.

"I'll go take a look."

After all, someone had died, so Lin Zhennan didn't bother to continue enjoying the crabs and said, "Stand up."

Lu Nanxing, who had not yet finished eating a crab, also stood up.

"Brother Lin, just sit down and I'll go take a look and be back."

Seeing this, Lin Zhennan hurriedly asked Lu Nanxing to sit back.

"It's okay. I know a little bit about medicine, so maybe I can help."

Lu Nanxing said this, but had already taken the towel from the maid and wiped his hands.

"Well."

In that case, Lin Zhennan didn't say anything more.

"I'll go take a look too!"

Seeing that his father and Lu Nanxing had left, Lin Pingzhi also stood up and left.

The three of them came to the vegetable garden behind after a while, and saw seven or eight escort leaders and porters gathered in a group. When they saw Lin Zhennan coming, they hurriedly made way for him.

Bai Er's body was lying there, his clothes had been undone, there was no blood, and there were no scars anywhere.

After checking, it doesn't seem like poisoning, it might be some kind of sudden emergency.

After reading it, Lin Zhennan nodded and gave an instruction.

"Notify Mr. Dong, the accountant, and ask him to take care of Bai Er's funeral. Also, send another 100 taels of silver to Bai Er's family."

He was just a porter, so Lin Zhennan didn't take it seriously. After saying that, he turned around and went back.

But he saw Lu Nanxing still squatting there, searching and examining Bai Er's body.

Lin Zhennan smiled, went over and pulled Lu Nanxing up.

"Dead people are not clean. Brother Lin, you should not stay here any longer. Let's go back and continue drinking and eating crabs."

"Brother Lin is right."

Lu Nanxing responded and stood up.

When leaving, Lu Nanxing turned his head to look at Bai Er's body again, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly without anyone noticing.

The show finally began.
