Chapter 57: Framed

Lin Jun's family lives in Shiqiao Town, there are not many people surnamed Lin in Shiqiao Town, Lin Jun has also heard that their family used to live in Shuanglin Town, and later for some reason, the family moved to Shiqiao Town. Although Shiqiao Town and Shuanglin Town are nearly 100 miles away, they are all within the jurisdiction of Yuzhou.

When he was expelled from Zizhumen, Lin Yesheng's elder brother Lin Yefan once told him that after letting him go out, he would try his best to inquire about the whereabouts of Lin Jun's family, and if he couldn't find Lin Jun for revenge for a while, he would start with his family.

Just a few days ago, Lin Yesheng finally inquired about the whereabouts of Lin Jun's family, and when he was about to do it, he inadvertently discovered that his bitter master Lin Jun, who really had nowhere to find his iron shoes, and it took no effort to get there. Now that the plan to assassinate Lin Jun has failed, Lin Yesheng naturally wants to start the idea of Lin Jun's family. Although Lin Yesheng and Lin Yeman's family backgrounds are also good, they are not as good as their uncle's family, that is, Lin Zhaohui, who is a lizheng. Just let him take out tens of thousands of taels of silver to avenge Lin Jun, their family can't take it, and his father won't give it to him. When Lin Yesheng came out of Zizhumen, Lin Yefan gave Lin Yesheng a letter, this letter was a letter to the Lin family's housekeeper, Lin Yesheng took this letter to his uncle's housekeeper, and he could withdraw 80,000 taels of silver from the treasury, 80,000 taels of silver is not a big amount for Lin Yefan, who has a big family. Now, Li Gongzi said the amount of 60,000 taels, and Lin Yesheng just happened to get this silver, so he agreed to Li Gongzi's request.

In the guest room of Zhengqiao's house in Shiqiao Town, there was an old man in his fifties.

The old man's skin was dark, his face was wrinkled, and he was clearly a farmer who worked in the fields all year round, and his face was full of fatigue, bitterness, and vicissitudes.

The old man was wearing a somewhat shabby coarse cloth shirt with two patches on his shirt, and at this time, two handsome maids brought a burst of fragrant tea, a fruit plate, and a few plates of delicate snacks, which were placed in front of the old man.

Qiao Yuanwai, who was sitting in the right position, was dressed in a brocade robe, sat lazily on the wide and comfortable chair, waved his hand, made a gesture of please, and said: "Lao Lin, when you come to me, it's like being in your own home, don't be restrained, this is the tea that the maids just picked, you taste it, the taste is fragrant and delicious." Those snacks and fruits are also good, you can use some too. ”

The old man surnamed Lin was Lin Jun's father Lin Mancang, seeing that Qiao Yuanwai was so polite to himself, Lin Mancang was a little flattered and at a loss, his face bloomed with a simple and honest smile, and said with a smile: "Master Qiao, don't be afraid of your jokes, we farmers are used to coarse tea and light food on weekdays, so many good things, when they come to our mouths, I'm afraid we won't be able to taste it, it's really a waste." Master Qiao, you don't have to be polite, you look for the old man, if there is anything, you can just tell me. ”

Qiao Yuanwai laughed: "I came to you, naturally there is a good thing." You have rented our land and planted it for more than ten years. Among so many tenants, you are the only one who is the most diligent and keeps the fields in good order, and it goes without saying that in that year of drought and little rain, you also have to carry water into the fields one by one, and other people's fields are not harvested or have no harvest, but you can still have a good harvest there. After so many years, you have no credit and hard work, and I should reward you well. I want to set an example among the many tenants, and if you think about it, this example is none other than you. In the future, the old man plans to reward the good and punish the bad among the tenants, and I will reward those who plant well and hand over a lot of grain, and I will punish those who do not plant well. There is a watered land on the bank of the river on the east side of our town, and that piece of land is nearly three acres in size, and the old man will give you that piece of land. Later, the housekeeper will bring the title deed, you only need to draw a pledge on it, the land is yours, you can plant whatever you want on it, and all the things you receive are yours, and you don't have to hand it over to me. ”

After that, Qiao Yuanwai clapped his hands, and his housekeeper took a land deed and walked in, the housekeeper walked in front of Lin Mancang with a smile, and said with a little envy: "Lin Laohan, what a blessing, that is a piece of high-quality watered land, which can be cultivated all year round, even if there is a drought, that piece of land can also draw water nearby, with that piece of land, your whole family has no worries about food and clothing all year round, it should not be a problem." ”

Of course, Lin Laohan knew that it was a piece of land that many tenants in Shiqiao Town had dreamed of, that piece of land was not only soft and fertile, but also close to the river, in addition to planting crops, they could also grow all kinds of vegetables and fruits, and with that piece of land, their whole family could have no worries about food and clothing.

Lin Mancang immediately got up, knelt on his knees, and made a big salute to Qiao Yuan, saying, "Master Qiao, you are really good to our family, and we will never forget your great kindness." ”

Qiao Yuanwai slowly stood up from his seat, took two steps forward, made a false gesture, and said, "This is what you deserve." Needless to say, all you have to do is put a pledge on the title deed, and the land will be yours. ”

Lin Mancang walked happily with the title deed, he had just left the living room, and from the back of the living room, Li Gongzi and Lin Yesheng walked in with a weird smile.

After seeing the two of them come in, Qiao Yuanwai still had a trace of doubt on his face and asked, "After Lin Jun of their family entered the Zizhu Gate a few years ago, he heard that he smoothly became an inner disciple and had excellent grades. His cultivation is stronger than other disciples, so why did he become a traitor?"

Li Gongzi said: "This person violated the rules of the door, offended the elders in the door, and absconded in fear of crime. It's just that he, a beginner disciple of the inner gate, is not qualified to be wanted by Zizhumen, so Zizhumen informed the Detention Department of this matter, and asked us to help arrest Lin Jun together, and also specially instructed that we must find a way to arrest all his family, only in this way can we attract Lin Jun to show up. Therefore, outside Qiao, you are not only helping us with the Detention Department, but also helping Zizhumen, after this matter is completed, your benefits are indispensable. ”

Li Gongzi was very cunning, he knew that Qiao Yuan was cautious in handling things, if he told the truth and told him that Lin Jun was now by the side of a great elder of Zizhumen, then it was very likely that Qiao Yuan would not dare to come forward to help them with this. Now he made up a lie and deceived Qiao Yuanwai to help them frame Lin Mancang.

Qiao Yuanwai sighed and said: "This Lao Lin is usually honest, but I cheated him like this, I really feel a little sorry in my heart." Since you're helping the Detention Department and Zizhumen, let's do what you want. ”

Then, Qiao Yuanwai waved to the housekeeper, called the housekeeper to his side and said: "Three days later, find a quiet night, quietly pick up a dam next to the land that Lin Mancang just got, and then immediately report to the official, saying that Lin Mancang's family dug the dam when digging the ground, flooding other people's fields, and naturally people from the government will come to arrest him." ”

Listening to Qiao Yuanwai's words, Li Gongzi and Lin Yesheng's faces bloomed with smug smiles.
