Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Butler Teacher
The next day, early in the morning.
Last night was Lin Mo's big day, so Lin Mo had already taken leave from Emperor Daqian yesterday, and did not go to the morning court, but accompanied the three ladies at home.
In the main house, the charcoal fire was burning vigorously, and the room was very warm and pleasant, and the eldest grandson snuggled in Lin Mo's arms, sleeping comfortably and peacefully.
The eldest grandson of the first wife, Yuyin, had a faint flush on her face, and her skin became more snowy, as if she could be blown out, and there was a charming style between her eyebrows, which was really charming to the extreme
After covering the eldest grandson with a velvet blanket, Lin Mo looked at Bai Zhilan and eldest grandson Youyin, who were playing chess in front of him, and did not speak quietly.
After a hundred miles of falling into the city, he glanced at the eldest grandson in Lin Mo's arms and said, "I heard people say that the lights in the new house were turned on for a night last night, and the husband didn't toss Sister Worry!"
Bai Zhilan smiled lightly, took over the words and said, "Isn't it, just after breakfast, Sister Yuyin was sleepy, and now she has fallen asleep, and she must have tossed a lot." β
Listening to the conversation between the two daughters, Lin Mo felt embarrassed in his heart, even the elegant and gentle Bai Zhilan took this kind of topic, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Zhilan, how is your father's side, is there any news?"
Bai Zhilan, the only daughter of the lord of Liang, one of the nine princely principalities, was named the lord of Huixian.
Two years ago, Lin Mo traveled alone in the south, and happened to pass through Jinling City, the capital of Liang State, and became attached to Bai Zhilan, who went out of the palace to play, and three months later, Bai Zhilan married Lin Mo and became Lin Mo's second wife.
"Two days ago, the Nighttime One has already come from Pegasus!" Bai Zhilan said with a black spot in her hand, "The 30,000 mountain spear armoured army has secretly moved south for thirty miles, forming a rivalry with Chen Guo's Hundred Battles Piercing Cloud Army. β
"If the State of Chu dares to move, the two countries will join forces to intercept the Iron Cavalry of the State of Chu and the south of Jianyang Pass, the heart of the State of Chu is becoming stronger and stronger, and the concubine is worried that if the State of Chu gathers the twelve vassal states in the south, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop it with the power of the two principalities of Liang and Chen!"
Lin Mo thought for a moment and said with relief: "Don't worry about this, if there is no good excuse, even if this Chu State has a hegemonic heart, it will not dare to act rashly." β
"The husband has now eaten Li Tai's chess piece, is the next chess game ready?" said suddenly after listening to the rise of Baili Chengcheng on the side.
"It's already been laid out!" Lin Mo smiled: "But this game of chess is getting bigger and bigger, and before long, this imperial capital Qiantian City will definitely become the center of the storm!"
Bai Zhilan once again dropped a black hand and said: "Yes, this King Rong, Xuanshu, Xuanyuan, Emperor Daqian, and the lord of Chu all want to be the chess players in this game of chess in the world, so naturally they are getting bigger and bigger." β
Lin Mo smiled faintly: "They all want to be chess players, hahaha... It's just a pity, at the end of the chess game, there can only be one chess player, and it depends on who has the last laugh. β
Saying that, Lin Mo changed sharply and said: "Oh, by the way, Allure, I asked you to tell Yun'er to call Yuan Kai, it's been a while, why haven't you come yet?"
"I... , oh, here it is!" was just about to say that he didn't know, when he heard a knock on the door.
Lin Mo waved his hand to signal Liu Ruoshui beside him to open the door, after opening the door, He Yun'er led Yuan Kai in, and after Yuan Kai came in, he saluted Lin Mo and Bai Zhilan: "Sect Master, two ladies, I don't know what to call my subordinates?"
Lin Mo said: "Yuan Kai, can the hundred Mo Wei I let be summoned can be done?"
Yuan Kai arched his hand and said: "It has been done, a hundred Mo Wei have gathered in the front yard, waiting for the orders of the sect master!"
"That's fine!" Lin Mo took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Yuan Kai, and ordered: "Yuan Kai, you personally lead the one hundred ink guards gathered to escort all the pearls, gold leaves, gold, silver and jade in the treasury to Baiyu. β
This morning, let Ding Bo think about the gifts he received yesterday, about 800,000 gold leaves, Lin Mo believes that this batch of money will help his wife to a great extent.
In fact, there were nearly 900,000 yuan, but it was divided into 100,000 by the three daughters of Baili Allure City, and it became a small treasury of the three women.
Yuan Kai respectfully accepted the letter and arched his hand: "The subordinates have received the order, and the subordinates must lead the Mowei brothers to safely deliver these things to the master's mother." β
Saying that, Yuan Kai was about to withdraw, but Lin Mo suddenly stopped him: "Oh, by the way, Yuan Kai, what was the result of the competition with Xifeng Qiuyun yesterday afternoon?"
"The subordinates still lost!" said Yuan Kai with some embarrassment.
Lin Mo smiled and asked, "Or did you lose a move?"
Yuan Kai nodded and exited the room.
Seeing that Yuan drove away, Bai Zhilan dropped a black hand, took another sip of tea, and asked: "Husband, will Sister Baiyu come to the big court meeting in a few days?"
Baili Allure took over the words first: "Definitely won't come, Sister Baiyu's identity is different now, how can she have that mood and time!"
After the hundred miles of the city finished speaking, Lin Mo took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "No, this time the white fish will come, but it should be a hidden identity." β
"Why is that?" asked Baili Allure.
"Oh, the concubine understands!" Bai Zhilan suddenly said suddenly: "After the Great Dynasty Meeting, less than half a month is the New Year's Festival, Sister Baiyu is coming to celebrate the New Year with us!"
Lin Mo nodded and said: "Yes, after the Great Dynasty Meeting, it will be a family reunion in less than half a month, and the New Year will be the New Year's Day, and Baiyu will naturally come to celebrate the New Year with us." β
"Great!" Hearing that the big house was coming, Baili Allure became happy: "When Sister Baiyu comes, I must take Sister Baiyu to teach that Tang Yunu a good lesson." β
"Yes, Allure is a great idea. Bai Zhilan also smiled and said.
Lin Mo was sweating wildly when he heard it, and Liu Ruoshui's three daughters were a little excited, especially Liu Ruoshui, who now wanted to meet the legendary awe-inspiring "Master Mother".
The days passed slowly, and the time of three days flew by.
In the past three days, Lin Mo had a very comfortable time, except for going to the morning court early in the morning, the rest of the time, Lin Mo either accompanied the three girls in the house, or even went to the street to play and watch.
On this day, near four o'clock (10:00), on the outskirts of Qiantian City, by the cold river.
Fu Yunsheng, the assassin of Kezhou, took the note left by the mysterious person for himself, and walked on the path with some restlessness, followed by a heroic man, who was Xifeng.
Xi Feng saw Fu Yunsheng's uneasiness, and said with relief: "Fu Tingshi, don't worry, the sect master has ordered you to protect your safety below, and you will definitely not be in trouble below." β
"Thank you!" Fu Yunsheng said politely, and sighed again: "I don't know, I'm not worried about myself, but I'm worried about my Jiuniang!"
"I don't know why that mysterious person kidnapped my Jiu Niang, I'm worried that Jiu Niang will suffer!" Fu Yunsheng's face was full of worry.
After taking a few more steps, Fu Yunsheng suddenly stopped and said, "Zunjia, if there is a fight at that time, please leave me alone, and protect my Jiuniang." β
"This ......," Xifeng said, with a sad look on his face.
"Please also agree!" Fu Yunsheng said in an almost pleading tone: "I know that Zunjia is famous for Lord Shangqing to protect me, but for me, Jiu Niang's life is more important than my life. β
Xi Feng hesitated, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will promise to Fu Assassin Shi in the future, if I can't do it, I will definitely protect Mrs. Zun's safety." β
"Thank you so much!"
After walking for about a mile, Fu Yunsheng and Xifeng came to a rather large two-story bamboo building made of bamboo, and a wooden sign was hung in front of the door.
The wooden sign reads: Cold Water Cottage.
After looking around, the two found that there was no one else around, and then glanced at the two-story bamboo building, Fu Yunsheng said: "This is the cold water building, should we go in?"
"Let's go in!" Xifeng nodded, took the lead in pushing open the door and walked in, Fu Yunsheng followed closely behind, and also went in, and when he went in, when he saw the people in the house, Fu Yunsheng was stunned.
Coming back to his senses, Fu Yunsheng looked at the rich man sitting in the room, and shouted angrily: "Zhang Guo, why are you?
That's right, that rich person is Zhang Guo, the assassin of Yunzhou, and Fu Yunsheng's old friend.
Behind Zhang Guo, there was also the guard of his Great Swordsman realm.
Seeing Fu Yunsheng and Xifeng coming in, Zhang Guo was also stunned, and then immediately retorted: "Lao Fu, are you stupid? What nonsense are you talking about, why am I kidnapping your wife?" β
"Then you tell me, if it weren't for you kidnapping my Jiu Niang, why are you here at this time?" Fu Yunsheng said slightly angrily.
"Didn't you leave me a note yesterday telling me to come here today?" Zhang Guo asked, but his face was full of seriousness, not like he was telling a lie.
Fu Yunsheng said blankly: "I called you here?"
"Yes!" As he spoke, Zhang Guo took out a note from his arms and handed it to Fu Yunsheng and said, "Look, the black and white words are also your handwriting." β
Fu Yunsheng took a look, it was his own handwriting, which read: At four o'clock tomorrow, the cold water building of the cold river on the outskirts of the city will tell the story of his life, and Fu Yunsheng left a word.
Looking at the contents of this note, Fu Yunsheng was suddenly filled with a dazed emotion, and looked at Xi Feng behind him and said in confusion: "Zunjia, what's going on?"
Xifeng shook his head and didn't say anything, when suddenly another flat voice came from the second layer: "It's very simple, because I called both of you." β
As the words fell, a young man dressed in a black robe and a black snow cloak stepped down, followed by a guard holding a sword.
And this young man and the guard holding the sword were none other than Lin Mo and Qiu Yun.
Zhang Guo and Fu Yunsheng's hearts were shocked, and Fu Yunsheng hurriedly asked, "Why is Lord Shangqing you?
"What do you mean?" Lin Mo smiled coldly, walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down, and said with a cold face: "Calling you here, you naturally have to settle accounts." β
As soon as the words fell, Lin Mo beckoned, Qiu Yun's figure flashed, and the guard of the great swordsman of Zhang Guo, who was about to retreat, broke his neck and lost his life.
Looking at the sudden change, Fu Yunsheng and Zhang Guo, who knew that they could not escape at all, were instantly filled with fear and panic.
Suddenly, Zhang Guo knelt on the ground with weak legs, and begged again and again: "Lord Shangqing, spare your life, spare your life! That time in the post house, the lower official should not think wrong about your personal maidservant, you will spare the life of the lower official!"
Saying that, Zhang Guo crawled towards Lin Mo and was about to hug Lin Mo's thigh, but unexpectedly, Lin Mo directly kicked him to the ground, and said coldly: "Fool who hasn't figured out the situation, don't touch me with your dirty hands!"
Fu Yunsheng swallowed his saliva, forcibly endured his heart filled with fear, and asked resignedly: "Lord Shangqing, I don't know where I offended you? β
"It seems that Fu Tingshi and Zhang Tingshi are really nobles and forgetful!" Lin Mo smiled coldly and said, "Okay, I'll remind you, fifteen years ago, Yunlu General Lin Boyang Mansion." β
"What, Lin Boyang!" Fu Yunsheng and Zhang Guo instantly screamed in horror like ducks on a red-hot iron plate, and Fu Yunsheng couldn't bear the name Lin Boyang and collapsed to the ground.
Zhang Guo stared at a pair of eyes full of fear, trembled his fat body, and asked tremblingly: "You, you... What the hell are you? , how do you know the name Lin Boyang?"
"What do you say, Uncle Zhang!" Lin Mo got up and walked in front of Zhang Guo and let him look directly at him: "Uncle Zhang, don't you really remember me? When you were a child, you even hugged me!"
Looking at Lin Mo's face and cold eyes in a daze, Zhang Guo only felt that at this moment, endless memories came to his heart, and finally focused on a tragic bloody night.
"Ah, the ghostβ" Zhang Guo, who fell to the ground, was suddenly startled, supporting his rich and fat body, and was about to crawl towards the door like a dog.
But in the end, he was kicked back to the ground by the breath guarding the door, making a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
"You... , you are Lin Boyang's son, Lin Luan. Fu Yunsheng trembled his already aged body, his expression was like seeing a ghost, and his eyes were even bigger, as if he had fallen into an endless hell.
Lin Mo walked in front of Fu Yunsheng, squatted in front of him and said: "That's right, teacher, you finally remembered, I am Lin Luan, the student you taught, Luan'er who was regarded as her own son by the teacher!"
Zhang Guo, fifteen years ago, was the butler of General Yunlu Lin Boyang, Lin Mo was called Uncle Zhang, and Fu Yunsheng was Lin Mo's teacher, Fu Yunsheng went to be the first to teach, it was the mansion of General Yunlu fifteen years ago.
Back then, Lin Boyang regarded Zhang Guo and Fu Yunsheng as brothers, but according to the information from Lin Mo's wife Bai Yu and the night dispatcher, in the end, it was these two who joined forces with the murderer behind the scenes to slaughter Lin Luan's entire family.
It was the two of them who caused Lin Mo, who had crossed over, to lose the warmth of his family.
"You, aren't you dead?" Fu Yunsheng asked in horror.
Fifteen years ago, Fu Yunsheng and Zhang Guo watched Lin Mo being pierced through his chest in front of him, and he lost his life, but now "Lin Luan" is standing in front of the two of them, no wonder both of them are like ghosts.
Lin Mosen smiled coldly and sat back on the main seat: "But that's how the sky makes people, he just let me survive, so that I can come back to avenge the slaughter of the two hundred and thirty-eight people." β
In fact, the sword killed fifteen years ago was not Lin Mo, but Lin Mo's stand-in, that stand-in looked exactly the same as Lin Mo, Lin Boyang knew that he had many enemies, maybe he had expected such a day, and prepared in advance.
And really hid in that dark corner, watching all this happen, not daring to cry, only covering his mouth, watching his parents and family being slaughtered one after another, falling in a pool of blood.
Looking at Lin Mo's expression, Fu Yunsheng suddenly climbed to Lin Mo, grabbed his legs, and almost cried: "Luan'er, fifteen years ago, it was all my fault, Zhang Guo's mistake, don't hurt your master." β
"Your sister loves you so much, she has always loved you as her own child, Luan'er, you just spare her, she is innocent, Luan'er, she is the master who loves you and loves you!"
Listening to the crying words, the legs that were still held by Fu Yunsheng, Lin Mo slowly closed his eyes, remembering the warm embrace and earnest words that Fang Jiuniang gave him, a tear slowly flowed out of the corner of Lin Mo's eyes.
"Luan'er, do you remember? When you were six years old, you were playful and fell into the ice cave, and it was your master who endured the biting lake water to save her from the ice cave, for which she fell ill with cold. β
"Luan'er, do you remember? You were assassinated by an assassin when you were seven years old, and it was your master who blocked that sword, and then she bled profusely and almost died. β
"Luan'er, do you remember? When you were seven years old, you had a serious illness, and it was your mother and teacher who stayed up all night to take care of you until you recovered!"
"Luan'er, you can't hurt your master, in the years when you had an accident, your teacher was like losing her soul, like a dead corpse all day long, Luan'er, you let go of your master, all the sins are my ......"
With Fu Yunsheng's crying words, the scenes continued to echo in Lin Mo's mind like movie clips, piercing his heart like a needle.
"Enough!" Lin Mo suddenly shouted, grabbed Fu Yunsheng's collar, glared at his moist eyes and said, "But who caused all this, it's you, Fu Yunsheng." β
Overthrowing Fu Yunsheng to the ground, Lin Mo took out the long sword of the dead great swordsman and held it in his hand, and looked at Zhang Guo who was like a fat pig viciously: "And you, Zhang Guo!"
"It was the two of you who ruined all this for the so-called glory and wealth, it was you who were betrayed by General Yunlu's mansion, and it was you who betrayed my father. β
Feeling Lin Mo's eyes full of murderous intent looking at him, watching Lin Mo holding a long sword shining with cold light in his hand, Zhang Guo, who fell to the ground, retreated towards the corner of the wall, and begged for mercy again and again.
"Luan'er, don't kill me, I'm Uncle Zhang who hugged you when you were a child! Uncle knows it's wrong, uncle shouldn't listen to other people's slander, shouldn't betray Brother Boyang for glory and wealth, you can spare me." β
"How can I spare you?" Slowly approaching Zhang Guo, Lin Mo held the sword in his hand tighter: "Why didn't you spare my mother when you killed her?"
"Zhang Guo, my good uncle, I watched you stab my mother to death with a sword, this grudge, how should I spare you, how should I forgive you!"
In the end, Lin Mo was already close to roaring, looking at Zhang Guo, who was waving his sleeves indiscriminately and not letting himself get close, Lin Mo gave Xi Feng a look.
Xi Feng nodded, and his right hand was aimed at Zhang Guo's neck, Zhang Guo couldn't move for an instant, and then his body floated out of thin air.
Looking at Lin Mo who was approaching him, Zhang Guo's pleading voice became louder: "Luan'er, you spare me, spare me, I beg you, I can give you whatever you want, and I can tell you who is the murderer behind the scenes?"
"But I just want your life!" As soon as the words fell, Lin Mo inserted the long sword in his hand into Zhang Guo's chest, passed through his chest, and dripped bright red blood along the tip of the sword.
After piercing Zhang Guo's chest, Lin Mo whispered in Zhang Guo's ear: "I don't need you to tell me who the murderer is behind the scenes, I already know all this." β
Zhang Guo's eyes suddenly widened, and finally looked at Lin Mo and smiled miserably: "Luan'er, I was wrong, it's all Uncle Zhang's fault, Uncle Zhang shouldn't ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Guo choked up and lost his life.
After Lin Mo drew his long sword, Xifeng let go of his hand and threw Zhang Guo's fat on the ground, and the fat fell to the ground with a snap.
Looking at Zhang Guo, who had died completely, Lin Mo's heart was also very concerned, this Zhang Guo was originally a handsome person, but since he became obsessed with wine and wealth, he gradually became this fat pig.
And the reason why Zhang Guo betrayed Lin Boyang was also because of the four words "wine and wealth", which was finally used by the murderer behind the scenes, resulting in the tragedy of 238 people being killed at the foot of Lin Mansion Mountain.
For Zhang Guo's death, Lin Mo did not bear and sympathize with him, because he killed "his" mother with his own hands, and this hatred is not shared, and it must be killed.
Pulling out the long sword and holding it in his hand, Lin Mo turned to look at Fu Yunsheng, who was restrained by Qiu Yun, and slowly approached him, and said indifferently: "Teacher, it's your turn, if you have any last words, say it quickly!"
Fu Yunsheng, who knew that there was no way to escape, had already given up struggling and begging, and just looked at Lin Mo and said: "Luan'er, I am a person who deserves death, I just ask you to tell me, what happened to your master, so that I can go with peace of mind." β
