Chapter 12 Chapter 2 The Truth of the Song Dynasty, the Cold Desert

So, what will happen to Lin Chong after breaking Lu Qian's house? The author went on to write: "When the lady went downstairs to look outside, the neighbors closed the doors on both sides. The maid Jiner followed, and the three of them went home together." This may seem trivial, but it is quite meaningful.Gai's matter has become an uproar, and everyone knows it.But the neighbors closed their doors.The author is trying to write that everyone knows this by writing that the neighbors have closed their doors.It's not that everyone doesn't know about it, it's just that everyone knows about it.Everyone knew about this, but why did they close the door?That's because everyone doesn't want to cause trouble.why would you say so?

In the beginning, when Mrs. Lin Chong was imprisoned, Jin'er must have called for help along the way.At this time, if they leave the door open, will they care or not? No matter, it really doesn't make sense. Don't care, this is Huahua Taisui's Gao Yanei's business, can you take care of it?How many heads do you have? So, close the door, close your eyes, and pretend you didn't see it, deceiving yourself and others. What kind of self-deception? Deceit, I didn't see it, I didn't hear it. Deceive yourself, comfort your conscience. Next, Gao Yanei jumped out of the window, thinking that Lin Chong must be chasing after him, and he must be looking for a place to hide.

At this time, are they harboring, or not harboring? They dare not hide, but they dare not not hide.Why? Hiding in the Yamen, offending Lin Chong.Lu Yuhou's family is just like that, it must be smashed. If you don't hide the yamen and offend the yamen, it will be even worse: the family must be beaten to death. That being the case, it's better to close the door, have nothing to do with yourself, and hang up high. Later, when Lin Chong smashed Lu Yuhou's house and brought his wife and maid down, the neighbors couldn't see him either. Why? When encountering such a bad thing, Lin Chong loses face very much. If you go up to him, isn't it just to save his face?

Besides, seeing you, to say hello or not to say hello? Say hello, how do you play?Congratulate him or sympathize with him? Don't say hello, what do you look like?How weird is it to pretend not to know each other? Besides, just now everyone saw that Mrs. Lin Chong was imprisoned. Would Lin Chong become a tortoise? Besides, the neighbors on both sides became tortoises one by one.what turtleShrinking turtle ah.Everyone closed the door and shrank their heads. No one was brave enough to save them, and no one drew their swords to help when the road was injustice.Now, even if Lin Chong doesn't say anything or scold them, what face do they have to see Lin Chong?

So, on the streets of Tokyo, such a scene appeared: the sky is bright and bright, but it is eerie, the streets are wide, but there is no one there.Lin Chong's family of three walked by alone. Will Lin Chong's family feel the chill when walking on such a street? Is this the Tokyo city of the Song Dynasty, a place full of treasures and outstanding people?Is this a place where four directions converge and people flourish?Is this the magnificent capital of China? Why so desolate, so cold, so pale? This is the desolation of the world, the coldness of people's hearts, and the paleness of morality!

And this is the truth in Tokyo!It's the truth about Da Song! After Lin Chong returned home, he turned around and went to find another person.Who are you looking for?Ya Nei ran away, his wife was rescued, Lu Qian's house was smashed, and the neighbors closed their doors to avoid it.Who else? Lu Qian.Wasn't Lu Qian still at the dining table in Fanlou just now?This traitor who sells friends and seeks glory is really hateful, more hateful than Ya Nei, more hateful than Fu'an.Therefore, just smashing Lu Yuhou's family is not enough, it is not enough for Lin Chong to save face, nor is it enough for him to vent his anger. Besides, the author has to give him an explanation.

So, after Lin Chong sent his wife home, he took a sharp knife and went straight to Fanlou to find Lu Yuhou.When they got there, Lu Qian had already disappeared. All of this was of course expected. Since Lu Yuhou was one of the masterminds of this matter, seeing the conspiracy revealed, how could he stay at the wine table and wait for Lin Chong to kill him? Lin Chong did something strange. In fact, the truth of the matter is that Lin Chong not only did not dare to kill Gao Yanei, but deliberately let him escape through the window; moreover, he did not dare to kill Lu Yuhou, so he also gave him enough time to escape.

If Lin Chong dared to kill Lu Yuhou, if Lin Chong really wanted to kill Lu Yuhou, the first thing Lin Chong would do after seeing Gao Yanei escaped was to return to Fan Lou to find Lu Yuhou instead of spending time on smashed on his furniture. He just went out because he wanted to relieve himself. In a short time, Lu Yuhou didn't know what happened outside, and he might still be waiting for him. However, he didn't vent his anger on Lu Yuhou, but on Lu Yuhou's furniture, smashing his home to pieces. He did this for a purpose, but for what purpose? In fact, by doing so, he killed three birds with one stone: first, he saved face and maintained his image.Second, he vented his anger with minimal cost and gave the other party an acceptable warning.We said that under such circumstances, killing people can also vent their anger, and smashing things can also vent their anger.In comparison, the cost of smashing things to vent your anger is relatively small.From the perspective of the other party, such deception hurts the friend, and the friend just broke a few pieces of furniture. This loss is acceptable, so the conflict will not be intensified.He, Lin Chong, still hopes to calm things down.3. The time was delayed, giving Lu Yuhou enough time to escape.

Even after he broke the furniture of Lu Yuhou's house, he still didn't go to Fanlou to kill Lu Yuhou immediately, but went home with his wife and maid first. When he got home, he took a sharp knife and went straight to Fanlou to kill Lu Yuhou. It's been a long time now, and the streets are full of uproar, will Lu Yuhou still wait for Lin Chong to kill him in Fanlou? Obviously impossible.Lu Yuhou ran away early. So, at this time Lin Chong took a sharp knife and went to Fan Lou to kill Lu Yuhou, was he originally confused, or was he confused for a while? My answer is: Lin Chong is not confused at all, and, at this moment, he is very calm.He was very clear-headed in the face of such emergencies.

He was neither originally confused nor temporarily confused, but pretended to be confused. The person who can pretend to be confused must be the most sober person and the calmest person.However, Lin Chong's sobriety and calmness are not cute, but rather terrifying. Next, Lin Chong went back to Lu Yuhou's house and waited all night, but he did not come home.Next, Lin Chong waited in front of his house for three days, but he couldn't wait for him, of course he couldn't wait for him. Is he, Lu Yuhou, mentally handicapped?You, Lin Chong, smashed his house and lingered in front of his house with a sharp knife in your hand. Will he come back to die?

Didn't Lin Chong understand this? Of course he understands. Therefore, Lin Chong didn't really want to kill Lu Yuhou at all. Why do you pretend to kill Lu Yuhou if you don't really want to kill Lu Yuhou? This is because: 1. Lu Yuhou deceived him, insulted him, and hurt him so much. He had to act like he would take revenge and maintain his image.2. Pretend to kill someone like this, if you can scare Lu Yuhou to send someone to beg for mercy.This way he has face.3. Under the threat of his murderous posture, Gao Yanei and Lu Yuhou may come to promise him that they will no longer harass his wife. In this way, he resolved a crisis without bloodshed. His wife was saved, and his official position and future were also saved. The abacus is very good.No wonder Jin Shengtan said that he "can count, endure, do it firmly, and do it thoroughly. It's all scary", and he also said that his image is "too cruel". Therefore, Lin Chong, sometimes pitiful, sometimes scary, even a little disgusting. Poor people are often disgusting. Then, there is another question, that is, why didn't Lin Chong dare to kill Lu Yuhou? The answer is simple! First, Lu Yuhou is Gao Taiwei's confidant; second, Lu Yuhou is Gao's helper. Therefore, such a person cannot be killed! In the final analysis, it is still a word of "fear".
