Chapter 137: The Past of Lin An
"Do you suspect that something happened to the people who were taken away?" I shuddered, if it was as she said, it was really a tricky matter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The woman nodded her head with fear in her eyes.
But how did she know what had happened to those people?
Whether her words are credible or not, this matter must be investigated, so I replied: "Don't worry, this princess will do her best to save them." ”
The woman nodded and said, "Thank you, princess." ”
"What's your name?" I asked again.
"The folk woman Zhen. ”
"Hmm. I answered, and then said, "When the matter is clear, this princess will pay you justice." As he spoke, he rubbed his aching head and walked out of the cell.
"Thank you, princess!" said a voice of thanks behind him.
When I got out of the prison, I looked at Deng Yi, and before I could speak, he said, "Leave it to me to investigate the transferred prisoners in the prison!"
I bowed my head, and when I was surprised how he knew what I wanted to say, Deng Yi left without saying a word.
I glanced at Zhao Cheng and Xie Wenyuan, and then said, "Let's rest for a while, and then judge Hu Anzhi later." ”
After that, everyone came to the back hall of the county ya.
Master Lin An came to greet us, and I looked at him, as if he had something to say, but every time he wanted to speak, he stopped.
Xie Wenyuan stabbed me and whispered, "Don't you think this master is very strange?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the two of us were very close at this moment, and our heads were almost together, and immediately bounced away like poison, and coughed awkwardly twice.
Needless to say, Xie Wenyuan also thinks that there is something wrong with this master, something happened to his own adult, just ignore it, without being summoned by us, he ran by himself, wanted to speak and stopped, and his appearance was quite suspicious.
I remained silent, letting Lin An pour tea and water, busy before and after.
"Alas, Master Xie, I think the time is almost up, we should also go to meet that Juan Zhi!" I deliberately raised my voice and said to Xie Wenyuan, paying attention to Lin An's expression change out of the corner of my eye.
Xie Wenyuan understood, then moved his body and said, "Then let's go!"
As I expected, Lin An's face changed instantly when he heard this.
Xie Wenyuan and we got up to leave, but Lin An hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "Alas, princess, do you want to taste our famous tea in Yuncheng, this season's new tea tastes excellent!"
Without waiting for me to answer, Lin An raised his voice and ordered his subordinates to make tea.
The corners of my mouth provoked a meaningful smile, and I sat back in my position without a trace, Xie Wenyuan and Zhao Cheng looked at me inexplicably, and when they saw me sit down, they also sat back in their positions.
Without waiting for the tea to come up, I looked at Lin An coldly, my red lips opened slightly, and said, "Master Lin might as well say something directly, why bother playing dumb riddles with us here!"
As soon as I said this, Lin An knelt on the ground and kowtowed to me with a plop.
I was shocked by his actions, and I thought that he just wanted to say something pleading with Juan Zhi, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to toss such a toss.
I watched Lin An keep kowtowing, if I didn't stop it, I was afraid that he would break his head, so I said in a deep voice: "Master Lin, what are you doing?"
Lin An kowtowed, and muttered in his mouth: "Please make the princess the master for the villain!"
"Get up and speak first. ”
"If the princess doesn't agree, the villain won't get up!" While speaking, the kowtowing action did not stop, but increased the force, and the forehead touched the ground, making a "dong dong" sound, which shocked people's hearts.
After a while, Lin An's forehead was already bloodshot.
"If you have anything to say, if you want to die, you will hit your head against the wall directly, and you will be gone!" I drank coldly, and my volume increased a lot.
"If you have something to say, it's my business to agree or not, don't threaten me with this, it's useless!" I snorted coldly.
Lin An's movements stopped when he heard my words, his body froze, he didn't dare to move again, and his head hung low.
Seeing that he no longer kowtowed to abuse himself, I returned to my usual tone and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
For this Lin An, to be honest, I don't hate it very much, after all, according to yesterday's form, he must have been under the suppression of Juan Zhi for a long time, and he is not a person who can speak, I want to know what grievances he has to redress.
Lin An looked left and right cautiously, as if he had some scruples, and he didn't open his mouth for a long time.
I understood what he meant, so I retreated the left and right guards, leaving only Zhao Cheng, Xie Wenyuan, and the three of us, and then stared at Lin An, "Can you say it now?"
Lin An bowed slightly, "The villain has been a master in this Yuncheng Yamen for ten years......"
Lin An opened the conversation box and told his story.
Lin An was originally from Fengdu, but ten years ago because he failed the imperial examination, he came to Yuncheng in frustration, but fortunately, he Lin An was a thousand-mile horse, and he finally met his Bole.
Lin An, who was born poor and had nothing, made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings on Yuncheng Street, and his life was embarrassing, and sometimes he didn't even have the money to eat a bowl of noodles.
In today's era of "Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty, all of whom are scholars", if you are not a celebrity, who is willing to spend that spare money to buy your calligraphy and paintings, calligraphy and paintings cannot be sold, and they are still ridiculed by others, Lin An once thought of suicide.
On that day, it was the rainy season, and it rained for several days in a row, and the calligraphy and paintings on the forest bank were damp and moldy, making him feel that he had an empty ambition, but no one appreciated it, and he fell into such a field, so he stood on the Yuncheng River bridge and prepared to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river.
He read his article on the imperial examination and laughed at himself: "The stagnation of the general text, the young man is old, and the word that he changed can be called a beautiful ......."
His words happened to fall into the ears of Juan Zhi, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, who was rushing to Yuncheng to take office.
Juan Zhida passed by the bridge, and when he heard Lin Annian's article, the whole person was amazed, and when he heard his self-deprecating words, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his talent.
Just when Lin An was about to throw himself into the river, he was stopped by Juan Zhi, and since then Juan Zhi has become Lin An's life-saving benefactor and Bole.
Juan Zhi hired Lin An as his master, and the two of them were partners for seven years. In the past seven years, Juan Zhi and Lin An have been partners in business, and in private they are friends who talk about everything.
In those years, Juan Zhi was still a parent official for the benefit of one party in Yuncheng, under his governance, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, lived a smooth life, and won the love of the people, Lin An was also glad that he was with the right person, he had sworn to assist Juan for a lifetime, as long as Juan Zhi was still the parent official of Yuncheng County, he would never leave.
But things must be reversed, and when the good days come to an end, bad luck will follow.
Just three years ago, there was heavy snow that year, and the snowflakes were blowing one after another, covering the entire Yuncheng County, and at a glance, it was all shocking white.
In recent years, the people are busy buying New Year's goods, although the weather is cold, the street is very lively, it is the last lively New Year in Yuncheng in Lin An's memory, where to start, the day of Yuncheng has changed.
The county made Lord Hu seriously ill, and this disease is mathematics, and many famous doctors were invited, all of whom said that they would not survive this year.
Everyone's mood is extremely heavy, and they are all worried about the body of adults, and a year is not a good time. But on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the good news came that Master Hu's illness had healed, which shocked everyone......
