Lin Peiran's words made Ni Qingru startled, his face turned red, and he hurriedly pushed Lin Peiran away, and said, "Aren't you going to make incense, let's go quickly, lest my father and mother wait."

After that, Ni Qing left Lin Peiran's arms as if he was running away. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Peiran looked at his empty arms and smiled bitterly, "If you're still too anxious?" He turned to look at the back of Ni Qingru leaving, and his heart was quite bitter, "Qingru, are you still thinking about that Zhou Jiaqi in your heart?" ...’

After everyone freshened up and dressed, they all stood in the front yard and waited for everyone to get into the carriage together.

Originally, everyone was happy and really wanted to go out, but suddenly, several officials broke in and surrounded everyone. Seeing this, Lin Peiran hurriedly protected Ni Qingru behind him.

The county master walked in, and Father Lin looked at the county lord who was quite proud, and asked in a loud voice, "I don't know what the adults want?" ”

"I got the news that the Lin family was selling illicit salt, colluding with officials and other crimes, so the official brought someone to investigate," said the county magistrate

"It's just that some gossip and adults want to make such a big move, it seems a little too rude," Father Lin said with gloomy eyes

Seeing this, the county magistrate smiled, took out an account book, shook it in front of Father Lin, and said proudly, "The official has evidence in hand, and besides, it may not be without cause."

Father Lin frowned and looked at the account book in the hand of the county master, and Ni Qingru on the side also stared at the account book tightly, and suddenly remembered that after being taken away by Lin Peiran that day, the lost account book said, where did the account book that Japan wanted to hand over to his father go? So much has happened lately, and I've forgotten the ledger, could it be that someone picked it up in the chaos? ...’

"Take it away!" The county magistrate gave an order, and the officials escorted everyone from the Lin family to leave the Lin family.

There was a group of people watching the excitement outside the Lin Mansion Gate, and they all pointed at the Lin family

"I'll just say how can the Lin family have so much wealth, it turns out that it is also through these unclean channels."

"Alas~, that rich family didn't order these pickled things, but he just wronged the Miss Ni family, she just got married, and she hasn't been a young lady for a few days, so she suffered with the Lin family."

"I think that Miss Ni is a broom star, you see that the Lin family was good before, and after this Miss Ni got married, something like this happened to the Lin family, and I don't know who affected whom."

"I think it's reasonable, I heard from the county next door that the young lady of the Ni family had a marriage contract before, but ah, she was divorced by someone else, so she had no choice but to marry Lin Peiran."

"That's really a shameless woman, she must have ruined the Lin family's style"

“...”

Such a mockery entered Ni Qingru's ears word for word, and she clenched her hands, full of anger and helplessness. Suddenly, Lin Peiran held Ni Qingru's hand and said broadly, "It's okay, I'm here, don't listen to their nonsense."

When Ni Qingru heard this, he gradually let go of his hand...

In the county lord's room

"Now we have controlled the Lin family, but the Lin family is not an ordinary businessman, theirs has a foundation. Just relying on these to bring down the Lin family, it is impossible at all" The county magistrate looked at the man in front of him worriedly and said.

In the dimly lit room, Zhou Jiaqi's figure loomed, and he said lightly, "It's okay to be able to control them temporarily, and we have to do everything next."

"How do you catch them all?" The county magistrate asked

"It's best to be executed tomorrow for a crime full of beheadings, preferably the kind that can be executed tomorrow," Zhou Jiaqi said expressionlessly

"This is not child's play, it is impossible to make up a crime of beheading in one day! And it is also the famous Lin family in Luyang, the adults above me are not stupid, this matter can't be fooled" The county master felt that Zhou Jiaqi was too inflated and underestimated the capital of the Lin family.

"We can only control the Lin family for one day, and within this day, the Lin family is not a vegetarian, they will use the money to get through the adults above your head, so that the Lin family will be released sooner or later. You surrounded the Lin family with the officials, and the Lin family lost such a big face, will the Lin family easily let you go? Besides, I said that after the Lin family is brought down, we will divide half of the Lin family's property. The Lin family's wealth is also an immeasurable amount, and at that time, money can make the devil grind, as long as you give the adults above your head a little sweetness, won't they all be happy? Zhou Jiaqi hooked his lips and said

The county magistrate walked around a few times, thought about it and thought, 'Things have come to this point, there is no chance to turn back, and what Zhou Jiaqi said is not unreasonable...'

"My lord, you must know that there is adventure to be rewarded, and nothing can be enjoyed by sitting back," Zhou Jiaqi seduced

“... Okay, just do as you say," the county magistrate made up his mind

Zhou Jiaqi smiled with satisfaction when he saw this.

"However, if you want to be beheaded all over the house, your ex-fiancée, Miss Ni Qingru, will also be buried with Lin Peiran," the county magistrate gloated

Zhou Jiaqi was silent for a long time, and just when the county magistrate felt that he didn't plan to answer, Zhou Jiaqi suddenly said, "You have to give up to get it, don't you?" ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he was shocked. Deeply feeling that the man was extremely cold-blooded, at the beginning, after the death of the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Jiaqi took the position of the head of the Zhou family as quickly as possible. Soon after, this person came to him with an account book about the illegal records of the Lin family, saying that he would bring down the Lin family together, and the reward offered was: half of the Lin family's wealth.

thought that he was only retaliating because he was robbed of his wife, but when the county master listened to Zhou Jiaqi's entire plan, he really knew that Zhou Jiaqi really just wanted to bring down the Lin family. In Zhou Jiaqi's plan, Ni Qingru has always been a sacrificer, and Zhou Jiaqi doesn't seem to care about Ni Qingru's life and death at all. 'This man is terrible...'...

Nightfall, cell

Lin's father, Lin mother, Lin Peiran, and Ni Qingru were divided into two cells, Lin Peiran hugged Ni Qingru tightly and asked, "Lady, are you cold?" ”

Ni Qingru shook his head unhappily.

Lin Peiran held Ni Qingru's hand and said, "Your hands are so cold, you still say it's not cold", Lin Peiran took off his coat and wrapped Ni Qingru tightly despite Ni Qingru's refusal.

Seeing this, Father Lin was not willing to take off his coat and wrap Mother Lin tightly, Mother Lin smiled helplessly, "How old are you, and you are still compared to these young couples"

Father Lin didn't answer, and Mother Lin was very helpless about it.

"If nothing else, we can go out tomorrow," Father Lin said

"Well, by the way, why did the county master, who is usually short-sighted, suddenly come to our Lin family to find fault? And, where did he get that ledger? Could it be that someone is already going to get our Lin family first? Lin Peiran wondered

"It's normal to be, and the best step this person can do is to be taken by surprise. If we had been prepared, we wouldn't even need to come to the yamen," Father Lin said

"Could it be the Bi family? The Bi family has been competing with us for the position of the richest man in Luyang, even if we are not brought down this time, it will have an impact on our business," Lin Peiran said thoughtfully

"I don't think so, I have been fighting with the Bi family for many years, the Bi family is not the kind of person who will attack suddenly, this kind of trick is a bit like a newborn calf, I don't know the height of the sky, and act recklessly" Father Lin suddenly looked at Ni Qingru, but Ni Qingru was in a daze and didn't notice it.

Lin Peiran also glanced at Ni Qingru in his arms, and knew a little in his heart, 'Could it be that it's Zhou Jiaqi...'

Just as the two were talking, there was the sound of fighting and blades intertwining from outside the cell, but after a while, a group of men in black broke in and rushed towards Lin Peiran and Lin's father...
