Chapter 293: Evidence of Guilt
Situ Kong took Situ Yang out of Meiyuan and into the outer courtyard study, and the father and son just hurriedly talked for almost a quarter of an hour.
It has always been Situ Kong who is talking, and Situ Yang is listening.
It's just that Situ Jin's trip to Meiyuan took up some time, and there was not much time left for Situ Kong.
It was only enough for Situ Kong to do what he wanted to do today, and gave Situ Yang a brief explanation.
Without giving Situ Yang time to digest, Situ Kong asked Steward Lin to invite the patriarch and elders of the Lin family, who had been waiting for a long time, into the study.
Naturally, among the people of the Lin family, there is also Uncle Lin, who has been cultivated as the next patriarch.
The people of the Lin family entered the study, and when they saw that there were no people from the Situ family in the study except for Situ Kong's father and son, they couldn't help but feel a little happy in their hearts.
The people of their two families arrived at about the same time yesterday.
Today, Situ Kong summoned them to the study, thinking that Situ Kong felt guilty, and he must give them an explanation, and at the same time, they felt that they had seized the opportunity.
So as soon as he entered the study and didn't sit down, someone preemptively opened his mouth with the mentality of striking first: "How did Shuqin die?" How could Young Master An become someone else's blood and bones, Master Hou has to give an explanation! ”
Situ Yang was surprised by the cheekiness of the Lin clan, and wanted to open his mouth to refute it, but he remembered Situ Jiao's confession of seeing more and thinking less and opening his mouth, and he also wanted to see how Situ Kong would solve this matter, so he just smiled coldly, and stood next to Situ Kong and looked at the self-righteous faces of the Lin clan.
In the face of the interrogation of the Lin clan, Situ Kong was stunned for a moment, and soon casually beckoned the people to sit down one by one, and specially invited the eldest old lady Lin to sit down on the Taishi chair next to the main seat, and asked the wind and others to bring tea. Only then did he take Situ Yang to sit down on the main seat.
Situ Kong's unhurried attitude made the Lin clan feel a little unusual.
The clan elders exchanged eye contacts, but they couldn't get satisfactory answers to each other.
Only Old Lady Lin sat on the Taishi's chair with an arrogant face, closed his eyes and recuperated, while Uncle Lin lowered his eyes and didn't know where his gods were.
In the study, except for the sound of rough and shallow breathing and the occasional sound of Situ Kong plucking the tea leaves with the tea lid, it was unusually quiet and extremely dull.
The people of the Lin clan came from afar to figure out the sudden death of Guò Lin Shuqin and seek more and greater benefits for the family. After arriving at the Anning Marquis Mansion yesterday. The Marquis of Anning's Mansion had everything in terms of food and housing, but Situ Kong only showed up in a hurry and never contacted them again.
Regarding the death of Lin Shuqin's mother and son, I don't know anyone who asks. No matter how big the profit is, he can't get a useful word.
finally got summoned by Situ Kong, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity, let alone sit still, so after making eye contact with each other, someone asked about Lin Shuqin's cause of death again.
"The eldest cousin didn't sue you?" Situ Kong frowned. He glanced at Uncle Lin with some surprise, and then pushed the stack of papers in his hand in front of the Lin clan: "In this case, you might as well take a look at these things first." A few days ago. The cousin of the Lin family came to Kyoto, and Benhou had already asked his cousin to pass the eye. At that time, the cousin of the Lin family may have been too flustered, and he couldn't read it carefully, or he missed a few or didn't remember it completely, and he couldn't say for sure. ”
These papers look very much like the special paper of the Yamen of Nanling Kingdom. When I got it, it was indeed a special paper for the yamen, and there was a seal on it.
Look at the paper in front of you. Uncle Lin didn't look at it and knew what was inside, but he only saw Lin Shuqin confusing the bloodline of the Hou Mansion that day. I didn't dare to continue watching in a panic, and left the Hou Mansion in a hurry.
Could it be that Lin Shuqin really committed the rumored crime of murdering the old marquis?
The more Uncle Lin thought about it, the more empty his heart became, staring at the paper in front of him with panicked eyes, and he didn't dare to look through it carefully.
When Situ Kong took out these papers, the Lin clan people already felt that something was wrong in their hearts, but Situ Kong's words combined with Uncle Lin's expression, the Lin clan people had a very bad premonition.
When a few people hurriedly flipped through the case files in front of them, they only felt that a basin of ice water was poured on their heads, and it was completely cold!
The case file lists the things committed by Lin Shuqin one by one, including the evidence found by the Hou Mansion, the testimony of witnesses, and some even the verdicts of the government.
Each one was so frightening that when they looked at the case file carefully, they suddenly collapsed in their chairs and made no noise.
Only Mrs. Lin is still the old god on the ground, dreaming of relying on Lin Shuqin's unnatural death to reap greater benefits for the family.
Situ Kong glanced at everyone in the study, and saw all the expressions of the Lin family, and when his gaze fell on the old lady Lin who continued to close his eyes and recuperate, a hint of sarcasm crossed his face.
Seeing that the Lin clan was all dumbfounded for a while, Situ Kong clicked on the thick stack of case files on the desk full of evidence about Lin Shuqin's crimes, and his tone was calm and coercive: "I don't know if you still insist that the Hou Mansion has treated Lin Shuqin badly after reading this case file." No matter what you think in your hearts, since you have come from afar to seek the truth, Ben Hou has to give you a clear understanding of this.
I won't say much about other Benhou, only Lin Shuqin's murder of her father, if it spreads, not only Lin Shuqin will be Ling Chi, but even the Lin family will not have good fruit! ”
Situ Kong's meaning is very clear, if the Lin family is for Lin Shuqin's death and the Anning Hou Mansion, he will have no face.
Murdering the Hou Ye, the national law and family law are intolerable, not to mention that the old Hou Ye also has a daughter who is a favorite concubine in the palace.
All the people of the Lin family were frightened, and their eyes turned to the patriarch of the Lin family, Old Lady Lin, with panic in their eyes, and more condemnation.
After all, Lin Shuqin is the biological daughter of Mrs. Lin, and it is also Mrs. Lin's son who did not bring the truth back to Shunping.
Obviously, Situ Kong had already sued Uncle Lin for the crimes committed by Lin Shuqin, but Uncle Lin did not bring the evidence back to Shunping, thus misleading the Lin family to accompany Mrs. Lin's family to Kyoto to ask for an explanation for Lin Shuqin.
Now that it is really difficult to ride a tiger, who can blame if you don't blame Mrs. Lin's father and son?
So the elders of the Lin clan looked at the old lady Lin and his son with condemnation, which was deeply blamed on the Lin family.
They didn't think to question the incriminating evidence that Situ Kong put in front of them, because one of these incriminating evidence was a confession written by Lin Shuqin before she died.
In the confession, Lin Shuqin confirmed the crimes she had committed one by one, except for the greed for the money of the Hou Mansion and the like, which one was shocking and terrifying.
Because of these sins, if any of them are spread, even if they bring the Anning Hou Mansion, the Lin family will also be a disaster. (To be continued.) )
