Chapter Seventy-Five: Reaping the Consequences
He said, "Xiahoulin is dead. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What?" Lin Jun didn't seem to believe his ears, "How is Xiahou Lin?" β
"Dead, said to be a violent illness." Guo Jia said flatly.
The two sat opposite Guo Jia's study, Lin Jun was still helping Guo Jia copy the official documents, and he told Xia Houlin's death as if he was talking about "it's raining outside".
"How is that possible?" Lin Jun shook his head, "The last time I saw her alive, how could she get sick......
She stopped suddenly, yes, dying of a violent illness is usually an abnormal reason that cannot be disclosed to the public, so she will claim it like this.
"And the real reason?" Lin Jun involuntarily lowered his voice and asked.
"A few days ago, a group of sons, ladies, and young ladies of Xiahou Lin's generation met for a trip." Guo Jia said slowly, "I went to the mountain temple in the mountains outside the city to burn incense and pray for blessings. β
"Going out and playing in this situation? Fell to death? Lin Jun asked stunned.
"The elders suffer a lot, and they often have lower requirements for the offspring." Guo Jia said again, "When I arrived at the temple, everyone played separately, but when it was time to eat, I didn't see Xiahou Lin alone. β
"And then?" Lin Jun asked.
"The people were in a hurry, so they scattered to look for her, and finally found her in a small meditation room." Guo Jia slowed down, stared at Lin Jun's eyes and said, "She was lying on the ground...... is with a strong man, in the clouds and rain. β
"Turning clouds and rain?" Lin Jun couldn't help but repeat, is the "cloud-turning rain" in my cognition the same meaning as what you said? "She and other men? In the Zen room? β
"Well, limbs intertwined, upside down." Guo Lao hooligan said bluntly, "I didn't even notice that someone broke in, and I was still trying my best to cater to ......"
"Understood, understood." Lin Jun hurriedly stopped his wonderful description, "It's as if you were also there to watch it, what about later?" β
Guo Jia suddenly laughed, and then returned to an indifferent expression and said, "The matter is so big, naturally it will quickly reach the ears of the lord and General Xiahou Yuan. General Xiahou went to the mansion of the eldest prince that night and beat Xiahou Lin to death. β
Beaten alive? Lin Jun received so much information at once, and his emotions were complicated and indescribable. not only felt that Xiahou Lin deserved to die, but also sighed that Xiahou Yuan could also do something to his niece, and he was also upset for Cao Ang's "green hat...... Those young ladies should laugh at him secretly.
I think that in the past, on the day she went to patrol the mountains with Xun Yu, Cao Ang and Xiahou Lin had not yet married. Xiahou Yuan also persuaded Cao Ang in every possible way, asking him to contact Xiahou Lin more and cultivate more feelings.
When I recall it at this moment, I have a sense of sadness that things are not human.
Lin Jun was looking down and thinking about it, but he saw that Guo Jia was squinting at himself, he was horrified, and hurriedly explained: "It's not me, I've been living in your house for the past few days, and I don't even know if they go out." β
She said sincerely, and she almost raised her hands in surrender.
Both of them knew in their hearts that this Xiahou Lin must have been framed, and nine times out of ten, they used the kind of fascination spice that fell in Lin Jun's house.
"Of course I know it's not you." Guo Jia stretched lazily, and he wanted to go back to his room to sleep.
Lin Jun hurriedly asked, "What do you think is going on with the resourceful Lord Sacrificial Wine?" β
The so-called enemy of my enemy is my ally, but I don't know who this ally is.
Guo Jia replied directly: "I don't know." β
Seeing Lin Jun's eyes widen and look disbelieving, he added, "There are too many possibilities." Xia Houlin is already willful and arrogant, often beating and scolding her subordinates, and often having bad friends with various ladies of the same generation, like this, if something goes wrong, it will be a matter of time, and she will reap the consequences. β
"You knew she didn't end well, why did you try your best to match them?" Lin Jun couldn't help but ask.
Guo Jia laughed again, but this time it was meaningful: "Lin Jun, the loyalty of the Xiahou family has been established, and it has nothing to do with Xiahou Lin's life and death." β
Lin Jun knew in her heart, Xiahou Lin made such a fuss, Xiahou Yuan must be ashamed, and she will be loyal in the future, exchanging her life for the Xiahou clan? It's really worth a lot of money.
The two then separated, and Lin Jun always felt that there was something in his heart that he had not figured out. It's too easy for this to happen, Xiahou Yuan won't just beat Xiahoulin to death and won't allow her to explain, right? After all, there is a process to kill.
As long as Xiahou Lin had the opportunity to say that she was framed, Xiahou Yuan would more or less investigate, how could she be killed so quickly that night?
And what kind of strong man who was happy with Xiahou Lin, where did he come from, why did he appear in the temple where the young ladies played, and where did he go afterwards? There are so many doubts.
And Guo Jia seems to be a person who only values cause and effect. In his eyes, there is only "Xiahou Lin acts domineeringly, so she has to have an accident", and how to get an accident, he doesn't seem to care too much, or rather, he doesn't care much about this kind of inner house matter.
As for Lin Jun, she wanted to know, but now she was sitting in the well and watching the sky, and she couldn't find out the clue.
And Cao Ang, when he comes back, what will those son-in-law friends of his think of him? And he will definitely accept a new lady, and this time, there will be no political marriage, and Cao Cao will definitely not hinder the person he wants to marry in order to make up for him...... Stop, stop, Lin Jun, you're thinking far again!
Wait, Cao Ang told her before that he would send someone to seduce Xia Houlin to achieve the goal of getting out of the marriage. This time...... Could it be that he is controlling it remotely? Making an alibi? Is there such a god? Are you still willing to green yourself? Probably not.
If Zhang Xiu's rebellion fails, Cao Ang and the others estimate that it will take longer to rectify Wancheng...... I hope that the turmoil over Xiahou Lin's matter will slowly subside during this time.
Lin Jun thought hard for a long time, but he was really puzzled. But no matter who did it, it was equivalent to helping her take revenge, and it would be beneficial to her.
Xia Houlin is dead, and she is basically safe now. But for the sake of conservatism, she still squatted in the house for a few more days, and felt that the wind was almost calm before going out.
But in fact, because of the majesty of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, such absurd things have not been spread, and only those naΓ―ve and ignorant young ladies talk about it in private, but everyone with some political consciousness has rotten this matter in their hearts.
Lin Jun secretly went to the temple halfway up the mountain in Guo Jia's mouth, but found that this temple had been sealed! I don't know if it's a Taoist priest or a monk, but there is no one to see, and the entrances everywhere are blocked by wooden boards. She thought about it for a while and decided not to go in, the "crime scene" must have been cleaned up and nothing could be found. And if someone finds out, there will be more trouble.
But what she never expected was that in less than two hours after she went to the suburbs, the scene in the city of Xu Capital had changed!
