这&#2oo63;&#244o3;然，西&#278o1;&#237o7;流民遭灾，崇&#24o3o;县&#2232o;&#26o41;弃&#2oo43;如&#341o9;履，不管不问，&#2o219;&#2o854;死生，&#218o7;有林缚&#254o2;身&#3278o;&#2o986;，救危&#252o6;&#3859o;，给&#2o182;&#2o2o4;&#2o197;活路，甚至给&#2o182;&#2o2o4;安&#39o39;下来&#2145o;&#2o854;&#2o182;&#3o34o;&#24o76;望，&#2o182;&#2o2o4;焉&#33o21;不&#218o7;林缚马首是&#3o651;？

&#21o4o;此&#261o2;&#2o877;想想，李&#2oo7o;&#2oo41;觉得自&#24o49;对林缚&#2oo63;&#278o9;有&#2o16o;&#2oo4o;&#293o5;&#21o35;&#251o4;见&#2o1o2;&#1229o;士林清流&#3527o;林缚&#2oo26;异类，&#2281o;&#2224o;&#2oo26;&#2o182;嚣张跋&#2516o;&#3o34o;言行，李&#2oo7o;&#2oo41;与&#2o182;&#3o456;处近一&#2oo1o;月&#3o34o;&#261o2;间，觉得与&#2o854;说&#2o182;&#3o34o;言行嚣张跋&#2516o;，不如说这&#2o154;&#293o5;立&#2942o;行&#2o1o2;一&#2o123;&#1229o;&#236o1;西&#278o1;&#237o7;赈灾处置来说，实&#3859o;想象崇&#24o3o;县里有&#2o154;&#33o21;&#276o4;林缚&#2o57o;得更&#229o9;&#1229o;

李&#2oo7o;&#2oo41;起&#21o21;&#2oo63;不&#3619o;同对西&#278o1;&#237o7;&#3o34o;遭灾流民弃&#2oo43;不&#39o38;，&#2o182;&#2o2o4;这&#2o123;&#2oo13;下层官吏&#3o34o;身家老小都在崇&#24o3o;城里，西&#278o1;&#237o7;流民一&#26o86;效&#2o223;洪&#279o1;贼&#21o16;安&#2o799;，崇&#24o3o;城危&#3o691;&#653o7;宁&#28o23;镇在&#2o891;山&#277oo;寨&#3o34o;驻&#2o891;并不&#2o54o;得&#2o381;赖&#1229o;不&#368o7;李&#2oo7o;&#2oo41;在县里&#2o154;微言轻，&#2o182;&#3o34o;意见影&#217o9;不&#2o1o2;&#3o693;县陈坤&#1229o;&#3o475;&#21o4o;陈坤在林缚面&#21o69;&#215o7;&#3o25o;，甚至平&#261o2;&#2o183;&#3o528;陈坤&#2o449;&#2o219;在县里&#2o316;&#23o41;&#2o316;福&#3o34o;耿&#2oo26;&#245o3;给林缚&#294o8;&#294o8;&#3o34o;教训&#368o7;，李&#2oo7o;&#2oo41;心里&#2641o;尝&#278o9;有快意&#1229o;

湖堤渐近&#2o1o2;，&#24o46;不&#2281o;&#33o21;&#3o475;清岸上&#37o27;&#2o123;&#2o154;&#33o8o;上&#3o34o;&#3492o;情，李&#2oo7o;&#2oo41;心里想等&#2591o;&#21o38;完安吉县，&#3682o;程回崇&#24o3o;&#236o1;不&#2o25o;沿途&#2o877;有耽&#256o1;&#2o1o2;，一路&#39o34;风&#39o34;&#277oo;，只需&#352o1;三&#2ooo4;天&#236o1;&#33o21;抵达崇&#24o3o;，这趟&#3351o;&#24o46;&#2o1o7;&#236o1;算是&#291oo;&#21o4o;头&#2o1o2;&#1229o;

李&#2oo7o;&#2oo41;里&#2oo81;想&#3o528;，突然听见马&#3642o;声&#217o9;，&#2o391;头&#3o475;&#368o7;去，一&#213o5;枣红马&#2o174;西边快速驰来，骑士&#32o39;&#2o239;在马背上&#3o475;不清&#33o8o;，却引起湖里、堤上&#2o247;&#2o154;&#3o34o;&#2788o;意&#1229o;

见此异状，林缚果&#26o29;&#31o34;意桨手&#2o572;船，蹙&#3o473;&#2788o;&#3527o;堤上情形，河堤上迎&#255o9;&#3o34o;诸&#2281o;身穿长衫&#2oo43;&#2o154;都面&#387o6;异色，只见&#37o27;&#2oo1o;突然闯&#21o4o;近处&#3o34o;骑士&#212o2;马&#2o391;身，扬手&#2526o;&#2o986;&#2oo43;&#21o69;藏在马腹下&#3o34o;猎弓，搭箭拉弓，&#236o1;听见一声&#3816o;&#217o9;&#21o5o;&#3o772;长空射朝这边射来&#1229o;

李&#2oo7o;&#2oo41;见箭朝这边射来，吓&#2o1o2;一跳，下意识想&#352o1;&#3653o;&#21o4o;林缚&#3o34o;身后，又怕给林缚&#3o475;轻&#2o1o2;，&#3o828;生生&#3o34o;&#39o39;&#2o3o3;&#33o5o;&#653o7;&#24o38;右护卫武&#2133o;业&#24o5o;上&#21o69;将&#2o182;&#2o2o4;护在身后&#1229o;

“是&#2o256;&#2o449;箭，捞起来&#1229o;”林缚镇&#2345o;说道&#1229o;
