Chapter 234 Identity Exposed in Public
"Li Qianlin?"
Lin Jiangnian was very familiar with this name.
Wasn't he the Li Qianlin, the son of the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice in Beijing, whom he first met in the teahouse in Linjiang City?
When they first met, Li Qianlin relied on his status in Beijing to be superior, looked down on Lin Jiangnian, and provoked him with words. After being beaten by Lin Jiangnian, he realized the reality and behaved himself for a while.
On Lin Jiangnian's way to Beijing, he was restless and joined forces with Miss Shen to assassinate him. After the plan failed, he fled in a panic.
I haven't heard this name for a long time, and Lin Jiangnian almost forgot about this person!
"Brother Lin knows this person?"
"I guess so."
Lin Jiangnian glanced at Zhou Huiguang, who was standing in front of him with the same high and mighty attitude as Li Qianlin, and asked Xu Zhongshan: "Are they in the same group with Li Qianlin?"
Xu Zhongshan nodded heavily and gritted his teeth and said: "Their fathers held similar official positions in Beijing and had close contacts. These playboys are also close to each other on weekdays. They unite to form a group. They are all birds of a feather, hypocritical people, and none of them are good..."
Listening to Xu Zhongshan's explanation, Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly and roughly understood.
These playboys in Beijing also stick together for warmth. Although the official positions of their fathers behind them are not very high, when they unite, they form a considerable force.
This force is really not something that ordinary people can afford to offend!
Zhou Huiguang is like this now. Although his father is from the Six Departments, he is just a marginal figure in the Six Departments. His power is not that high, but with the support of others, the situation is completely different.
Zhou Huiguang is standing in front of Lin Jiangnian and Xu Zhongshan, listening to their whispers, and his smile is slightly stiff.
These two people, don't they take him seriously?
He and Xu Zhongshan have always had some grievances. They are both in the circle of Beijing, and it is very normal to have conflicts. The Zhou family is not as powerful as the Xu family, but Zhou Huiguang has someone behind him, so he doesn't take the Xu family seriously.
The Xu family has its roots in Linzhou, and its power in Beijing is weak. Xu Zhongshan is also a reckless man. If it were before, Zhou Huiguang might still be a little afraid, but today at the Lu family wedding, with someone backing him up, Zhou Huiguang naturally didn't worry about what Xu Zhongshan would dare to do, so he took the opportunity to mock and ridicule him.
As for Lin Jiangnian beside Xu Zhongshan, he was very unfamiliar and had never seen him before. Zhou Huiguang had seen almost all the well-known young masters of noble families in Beijing, but he had no impression of this person. He thought that he was probably just another "friend" that Xu Zhongshan had met from some unknown place, so he didn't take him seriously.
"It's a rare opportunity to meet, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Xu Zhongshan, you don't take us seriously at all, do you?"
Zhou Huiguang looked at Xu Zhongshan with a smile, and the smile on his face looked extremely hypocritical.
"Yes, after all, we have known each other for a long time, and we will see each other every day. You seem to look down on us!"
Gao Wenyang on the side joined in at the right time, and the two of them sang in unison, and their words were full of yin and yang.
Xu Zhongshan's face was very ugly. He looked at the two of them coldly, his face gloomy: "Zhou Huiguang, Gao Wenyang, why do you two have to pretend?"
What he couldn't stand the most was the hypocritical faces of these people, which made him sick.
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Lin Jiangnian on the side: "Brother Lin, I'm sorry to make you laugh. Don't pay attention to them, let's go!"
Xu Zhongshan didn't know Lin Jiangnian's identity, but he knew that he might be implicated if he stayed here. If Brother Lin was targeted by Zhou Huiguang and others and implicated, it would be more trouble than gain.
Therefore, Xu Zhongshan wanted to take Lin Jiangnian away first.
However, Lin Jiangnian didn't move.
He stood there, looked at the two arrogant young men in front of him, and then looked at Xu Zhongshan with a slightly gloomy face, and shook his head gently: "Don't leave in a hurry."
"They all said that you didn't put them in your eyes. If you leave now, wouldn't you really give them face?"
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings were briefly quiet.
Xu Zhongshan's heart skipped a beat, not good!
What nonsense is Brother Lin talking about?
This, this is not...
As expected, when Lin Jiangnian's voice just fell, the smiles on Zhou Huiguang and Gao Wenyang's faces froze almost at the same time.
Obviously, they heard the provocative attitude in Lin Jiangnian's words.
Zhou Huiguang's smile disappeared, and he suddenly turned his head to stare at Lin Jiangnian with a bad look: "What did you say?!"
And his disappeared smile turned to Lin Jiangnian's face. He looked at Zhou Huiguang's bad look and said with a smile: "Is Mr. Zhou deaf?"
"Do you need me to repeat it?"
The light tone, but full of provocation, made Zhou Huiguang's face suddenly change. He stared at Lin Jiangnian: "You dare to scold me?!"
"Who are you? Dare to scold me?!"
Facing Zhou Huiguang's change of face and jumping, Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "When did I scold Mr. Zhou?"
"You said that this young master is deaf?!"
"Mr. Zhou is not deaf, why do you ask it a second time?"
The still light words, coupled with Lin Jiangnian's calm and smiling expression, seemed to be a great provocation, which stimulated Zhou Huiguang's face to change drastically.
He stared at Lin Jiangnian angrily: "You, you... are looking for death?!"
Gao Wenyang on the side had never expected that the guy brought by Xu Zhongshan would be so bold?
At this time, even Xu Zhongshan was a little confused!
Brother Lin is...
provoking Zhou Huiguang?
It was really cool to see Zhou Huiguang's angry reaction. But Xu Zhongshan soon realized that something was wrong. Brother Lin had offended Zhou Huiguang and tore his face off. It might be bad next.
With Zhou Huiguang's vindictive character, he will never let it go.
"Brother Lin!"
Xu Zhongshan hurriedly tugged at Lin Jiangnian's clothes, looking anxious, wanting to remind him, but saw Lin Jiangnian glanced back at him and sighed: "Brother Xu, since they are shameless, why do you give them face?"
Xu Zhongshan's expression froze. When did he give them face?
Wait, what is this?
When Xu Zhongshan realized something, he had already noticed Zhou Huiguang's gloomy and angry eyes.
"Xu Zhongshan, I didn't expect the friend you know to be so bold!"
Zhou Huiguang smiled coldly, but his face was not smiling.
If it weren't for the Lu family's wedding, he would probably give this guy who dared to provoke him a painful lesson on the spot.
However, he remembered this grudge.
"You are a good kid, very courageous!"
Zhou Huiguang stared at Lin Jiangnian coldly, looked at him deeply for a few times, and his eyes were full of sneers: "I hope you can still laugh later!"
"Why wait a while?"
Lin Jiangnian's eyes seemed meaningful: "I thought Mr. Zhou would turn his face on the spot when he was angry, but I didn't expect that he could be so patient, like a turtle..."
Zhou Huiguang, who was originally ready to turn around and leave, turned around again after hearing this, with a fierce look in his eyes: "What did you say?!!"
It must be said that every word of Lin Jiangnian seemed to hurt Mr. Zhou's fragile self-esteem. It was lightly said, but it could break his defense on the spot.
These so-called dandy young men in Beijing, their tolerance is so poor.
"Nothing, nothing!"
Lin Jiangnian waved his hands quickly, "Zhou the bastard...ah no, Mr. Zhou, you go ahead and come back later, I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for you..."
"You're looking for death!!"
Zhou Huiguang finally got angry. Such naked provocative words completely angered him. He rushed to Lin Jiangnian and waved his fist to greet him in the face.
"I'll kill you!"
He was the son of the Zhou family, but he was called a bastard!
This is absolutely unbearable!
The angry Zhou Huiguang didn't care that he was still at the Lu family wedding at this time. He had to teach this person a lesson and waved his fist to greet him.
"Pa!"
A pleasant and crisp sound rang out.
"Ah!"
Accompanied by a scream, a loud and clear slap accurately landed on Zhou Huiguang's face.
Screaming, Zhou Huiguang staggered a few steps, dizzy, he was stunned!
When he came to his senses, the burning pain on his face made him realize... he was beaten? !
Slapped in public? !
Slapped by the guy in front of him?
The strong sense of humiliation, accompanied by the burning pain on his face, instantly overwhelmed Zhou Huiguang's reason. He was furious, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his heart.
"You dare to hit me?"
"You are looking for death, you are dead, I will kill you!!"
Zhou Huiguang, who was overwhelmed by anger and humiliation, rushed towards Lin Jiangnian again, with the momentum to kill him.
"Pa pa!"
"Ah... ah!"
Two more crisp slaps sounded.
Lin Jiangnian stood in place, facing Zhou Huiguang who was rushing towards him with "murderous intent", and opened his left and right hands, and slapped him twice.
As the saying goes, don't hit people in the face!
Lin Jiangnian only hits the face!
As the two slaps fell, Zhou Huiguang's face quickly became red and swollen, and he could not stand steadily. He turned around and fell to the ground.
"Bang!"
There was silence all around!
Perhaps it happened too quickly, so that everyone had not had time to react. All around were quiet, and their eyes fell on Zhou Huiguang who was screaming on the ground, and Lin Jiangnian who was standing there with a calm expression.
At this moment, the picture seemed to be frozen.
Xu Zhongshan opened his mouth slightly, his pupils shrank slightly, and looked at the scene in front of him in shock. His head was stuck because of the shock.
It was a bit unbelievable!
Brother Lin, you actually beat Zhou Huiguang?
Beat him? !
Looking at Zhou Huiguang who was screaming on the ground, an indescribable sense of pleasure surged in his heart.
Good beating!!
At this moment, Xu Zhongshan felt that he had let out his anger!
He had long disliked Zhou Huiguang, and now seeing him in such a miserable state, he felt very happy.
He deserves to be beaten!
But after a brief moment of satisfaction, Xu Zhongshan's face suddenly changed again.
Something big has happened!
It was indeed very satisfying for Zhou Huiguang to be beaten, but the next problem is going to be big!
Zhou Huiguang will not let it go, and more importantly, something big is going to happen at the Lu family wedding today!
Brother Lin is in big trouble!
Thinking of this, Xu Zhongshan's face became even uglier.
On the other side, Gao Wenyang and other people around him were also stunned. As early as when Zhou Huiguang and Lin Jiangnian had a conflict, some people were attracted to join in the fun. Now seeing Zhou Huiguang being beaten, most people's eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian.
Who is this person?
How dare he take action here?
Don't you take the Lu family seriously?
There were whispers around, and Gao Wenyang seemed to have finally come to his senses.
"Are you okay?"
He walked over quickly, glanced at Zhou Huiguang on the ground, then raised his eyes and stared at Lin Jiangnian with cold eyes: "How dare you hit Huiguang?!"
Lin Jiangnian stood where he was, raised his eyebrows: "Everyone present saw it, he was the first to attack!"
"Good, very good!"
Gao Wenyang realized that the person in front of him was probably a stupid young man who was not afraid of death. He turned to stare at Xu Zhongshan beside him and sneered: "Xu Zhongshan, are these the friends you brought? It seems that your Xu family really has strong wings. Dare to Get wild here!”
Xu Zhongshan's heart sank slightly. He knew that what happened today might be difficult. Now that he had offended the Zhou family and the Gao family, the consequences would be disastrous. But when he thought that today's trouble was also caused by him, he was the one who implicated Brother Lin, and he couldn't shirk the responsibility.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhongshan snorted coldly: "Everyone has seen that it was Zhou Huiguang who made the first move... He is not as skilled as others and yet he bites back. Do you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand in this capital and turn right and wrong?!"
"No matter what, Huiguang was injured by your people today. We will never let go of this debt!"
Gao Wenyang looked at Xu Zhongshan with a sneer. He did not expect that this stupid young man brought by Xu Zhongshan would really dare to take action.
It’s just asking for death!
As for who made the first move?
Is this important?
Of all the people present, who will testify for the Xu family?
As expected, everyone around who had just witnessed this scene had strange looks in their eyes.
When Xu Zhongshan saw this scene, he realized something and his heart sank.
The forces in the capital are complex. Although his father holds a high position among the six departments, he does not have much real power. How could these people help him now?
"What's going on? What happened?"
At this moment, a soft drink came.
The crowd parted a way, and several figures approached slowly.
A middle-aged man who looked like a butler approached, followed by several masters with restrained auras, who seemed to be the guards in the manor.
The middle-aged man glanced at several people. When he saw the man on the ground, he was slightly startled, and then quickly walked forward.
"This is... Mr. Zhou?!"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then he recognized the other person: "Mr. Zhou, who beat you like this?"
At this moment, Zhou Huiguang was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.
The humiliation of being slapped in the face in public was something he would never forget, and the dazzling glares from around him made him even more humiliated. He wished he could have fainted on the spot.
So, I simply chose to pretend to be dizzy!
Even if the housekeeper made a sound, he pretended not to hear it.
"Steward Lu, you came just in time!"
Gao Wenyang sneered: "They are making trouble here and beat Mr. Zhou like this!"
"What?!"
When Butler Lu heard this, his expression immediately changed. How dare someone dare to cause trouble here?
Today is the wedding day of their young master. If he makes trouble here, isn't this a slap in their face?
Butler Lu turned around with a cold expression, his eyes falling on Xu Zhongshan and Lin Jiangnian standing aside.
When he saw Xu Zhongshan, Butler Lu's eyes changed slightly. He naturally recognized Xu Zhongshan. The second son of the Xu family, the Xu family is not very powerful in Beijing. Xu Zhongshan's grandfather is the current Minister of Rites, with little real power, and he is approaching retirement age. Therefore, the Xu family is in decline in Beijing.
Looking at Lin Jiangnian next to him, Butler Lu frowned. He had a handsome appearance and extraordinary abilities, but he looked unfamiliar and had never seen him before. Although his clothes are simple, his temperament is extremely good.
Butler Lu knew a lot of people, so he could tell at a glance that this young man might not be easy. However, the other party dared to make trouble here today, and Butler Lu's face became colder.
"You were the one who beat Mr. Zhou?"
Faced with Steward Lu's questioning, Xu Zhongshan immediately explained: "Steward Lu, it was Zhou Huiguang who provoked and made the first move. Brother Lin was just acting in self-defense..."
"So, he was indeed the one who beat Mr. Zhou?"
Butler Lu interrupted Xu Zhongshan with a cold expression.
Xu Zhongshan was startled and speechless for a moment. Zhou Huiguang was indeed beaten by Brother Lin, but that was not...
"Today is my young master's wedding day. If you are making trouble here, don't you take our Lu family seriously?" Butler Lu looked at Xu Zhongshan expressionlessly.
Xu Zhongshan waved his hand quickly: "Steward Lu, this is absolutely not the case, it's just..."
But Butler Lu didn't give Xu Zhongshan a chance to explain, and snorted coldly: "I will report today's matter to you truthfully. In consideration of the friendship between Mr. Xu and my master, I will not hold you responsible today..."
At this point, Butler Lu's eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian again, and he said expressionlessly: "You made trouble here today, injured Young Master Zhou, and ruined my young master's wedding. You will not be treated lightly!"
"Come here, take it down for me and hand it over to the master for punishment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several nursing masters behind Butler Lu walked toward Lin Jiangnian.
"Butler Lu!"
Seeing this, Xu Zhongshan became anxious and quickly stopped in front of him: "This matter has nothing to do with Brother Lin. It was Zhou Huiguang who took action first, and it is also the grudge between Zhou Huiguang and me..."
But Butler Lu gave him a cold look: "Xu Zhongshan, for your grandfather's sake, I won't care about what happened today. Do you really think you can do whatever you want?"
Xu Zhongshan's heart suddenly sank, and he was anxious to explain something more, but was stopped by Lin Jiangnian on the side.
"Haven't you seen it yet?"
"What?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at Gao Wenyang, who was looking at them with a sneer, as well as the figures around him who looked like they were watching a good show, and the expressionless Butler Lu. His tone was very soft, but with a bit of sarcasm: "They are obviously in the same group. , don’t care about the truth.”
Xu Zhongshan was startled and looked up. Then he suddenly realized something and his face turned pale.
Butler Lu stared at Lin Jiangnian coldly: "How dare you talk nonsense, catch me!"
Several nursing staff approached Lin Jiangnian, but Lin Jiangnian turned a blind eye. After turning his head to look at the crowd, he suddenly sneered.
"Li Qianlin, are you going to keep hiding?"
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings instantly became quiet.
Then, the crowd on the other side suddenly parted, and a handsome young man with good temperament appeared in everyone's sight.
When he was discovered, he was slightly panicked, his face was a little livid, and a little gloomy. When he looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes, a sharp hatred flashed across his face.
"Brother Qianlin?!"
Gao Wenyang saw the person coming and showed a little joy: "You are here too?!"
At this time, Li Qianlin's face was slightly livid. Seeing that the guards were approaching Lin Jiangnian, he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Stop!"
The guards stopped, looked at Li Qianlin, and turned to look at Steward Lu.
Steward Lu also looked at Li Qianlin in confusion.
For a moment, everyone present was confused, not knowing what happened?
Li Qianlin, isn't he a good friend of Zhou Huiguang and Gao Wenyang? Now that Butler Lu is standing up for Zhou Huiguang, why should Li Qianlin stop him?
Facing the discussions around him, Li Qianlin looked unhappy.
Why did he want to stop it?
He even wanted the Lu family to take down the man in front of him, or even better, kill him!
But he couldn't...
The moment he was discovered by Lin Jiangnian, he realized that things were not good.
If he sat back and did nothing, he would have screwed the Lu family!
Afterwards, the Lu family would definitely settle accounts with him.
Staring at the familiar face and figure in front of him, Li Qianlin felt complicated, and his eyes flashed with hatred.
Li Qianlin took a deep breath, hiding the strangeness in his eyes, and sneered: "Lin Jiangnian, I didn't expect you to be alive!"
"Are you disappointed?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at him, and he had already discovered Li Qianlin hiding in the crowd.
Li Qianlin didn't show up, obviously wanting to use the Lu family to screw Lin Jiangnian.
Lin Jiangnian didn't give him this opportunity!
"I am really disappointed." Li Qianlin sneered, not hiding his hatred for Lin Jiangnian.
At the same time, there was a sense of deep reluctance.
He really didn't die!
Why didn't he die? !
Li Qianlin's eyes were cold, and his reluctance surged wildly.
It was clearly a trap, and it was clearly a must-kill situation... Why is his life so good!
Why can't he die? ! !
...
As the two of them exchanged briefly, the surroundings fell into a brief silence.
Lin Jiangnian?
Why does this name sound so familiar?
Where have you heard it?
Everyone was puzzled. When Butler Lu heard this name, he was a little suspicious at first, and he was very familiar with this name.
The next second, as if he suddenly realized something, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his face suddenly changed.
"Lin, Lin Jiangnian?!"
"Lin, Lin Wangzi?!"
Butler Lu's voice was not loud, and even trembled a little because of shock, but it was particularly clear in the quiet surroundings at this moment.
Everyone present was startled. They just felt that the name Lin Jiangnian sounded familiar, but if the four words "Prince of Lin" were added...
In an instant, everyone reacted almost at the same time.
Lin Jiangnian, isn't that the name of Prince of Lin? !
Prince of Lin? !
The next second, countless eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian. Staring at this handsome young man with a noble temperament, some people were shocked and said in disbelief.
"Lin Jiangnian? He is the Prince of Lin?!"
"He is really still alive?"
"Wait, this Prince of Lin is so handsome? Really, really?"
"Damn it, I saw the real Prince of Lin?!!"
After a brief moment of silence, the surroundings suddenly became noisy like a storm.
The noise instantly overwhelmed everything.
Everyone looked astonished, staring at Lin Jiangnian in disbelief, looking at the legendary Prince of Lin.
He is the Prince of Lin? !
It's completely different from the legend!
There weren't many people watching at first, but as the name of Prince Lin came out, it quickly attracted the attention of many people nearby, and they all came closer.
For a while, more and more people came!
The news spread in shock, and countless people were stunned and unbelievable.
There was an uproar.
"Brother Lin..."
A hoarse voice came in the midst of the noise.
Lin Jiangnian turned his head and saw Xu Zhongshan staring at him in shock. After a long time, his eyes were particularly complicated: "You, you are Lin Jiangnian?"
Lin Jiangnian did not deny it and nodded.
"Lin, Prince Lin?"
Still nodded.
"You, didn't you say your name is Lin Kong?" At this moment, Xu Zhongshan's eyes were somewhat resentful, and he felt a sense of shame for being deceived.
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "When you are in the world, how can you not have a vest..."
"Brother Xu, there are not many fools like you who are so honest and reveal their real names when they meet for the first time..."
"..."
