Chapter 256: Great Change
A man dressed in ordinary clothes looked at her and said in a low voice, "Girl, we have found out, the Lin family that is going to be beheaded is Lin Zuoxiang's mansion-"
"I already know!"
Lin Jue glanced at him angrily, and only now did he say, what did he do earlier.
After finding out that it was not the Lin family, Lin Jue walked back with peace of mind, but before he could take a few steps, he bumped into a person head-on.
Lin Jue grinned when he was hit, and it was not easy to stabilize his body that was almost knocked away, and after seeing the other party clearly, he couldn't help but be even more surprised, "Why did you come out in broad daylight?" ”
Now there are people looking for him everywhere in Kyoto, Nangong Yi knows this, so he didn't go with Lin Jue, why did he come out again?
"Are you alright?"
Nangong Yi's first sentence was this.
Lin Jue ,......, "I'm fine." ”
I couldn't help but feel a little depressed in my heart, could she have already made Nangong Yi worry about this kind of Cheng by now?
"It's okay, I'll send you back."
Nangong Yi breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw her, just now a few secret guards came to report, he thought something had happened again.
"You hurry up and ...... go"
Lin Jue looked at him with some concern.
"Now there are portraits of you all over the capital, it's too dangerous for you to come out like this......"
Things changed too fast, Lin Jue couldn't sort out her head for a while, Nangong Yi became a wanted criminal in the blink of an eye, but Nangong Yi was a wanted criminal, but she wasn't, she didn't even sit on her, this thing is also very strange.
"It's okay, I'll take you to the door and leave."
Nangong Yi is stubborn, and no one has a way to take him, Lin Jue can't, sighed, can't resist him, so he has to let him send her to the door of the Lin family.
After being away for so long, the Lin Mansion still hasn't changed anything. The lacquered gold that fell from the three words "Taibu Mansion" is still there, and no one has repaired it.
The two stone lions in front of the gate are already covered with moss. The stone steps were clean, but they still couldn't hide the signs of dilapidation.
Now in front of the gate, Lin Jue suddenly hesitated.
Lin Taibu is not here, there are people living here who have nothing to do with her, does she really want to go in?
In fact, no matter whether she is dead or alive, even if she never comes back, no one will care, right?
Just as he was thinking, a small crack opened in the suddenly closed door, and a man in a moon-white robe stepped out of it.
When he saw Lin Jue, he was stunned in place, and after a long time, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Second sister?" ”
Lin Jue was also stunned, but then she laughed, "Lin Qiong, why haven't you seen you for so long, you still look like this?" ”
"How long has it been? What can I become in just a few months? ”
Lin Qiong couldn't help laughing. However, when his gaze fell on Nangong Yi next to Lin Jue, his face instantly changed an expression.
"I'll go first."
Nangong Yi also noticed Lin Qiong's expression and said softly to Lin Jue.
"Okay." Lin Jue nodded.
Nangong Yi is really not suitable to appear in front of outsiders now. Although Lin Qiong is not an outsider, few of the people in the Lin family are clear, in order to prevent these people from going out and talking nonsense, she is better to be careful.
"Finally let you find him......"
It wasn't until Nangong Yi's figure completely disappeared that Lin Qiong said to Lin Jue with a smile.
"Yes, ......", Lin Jue thought thoughtfully, the process of finding Nangong Yi this time was not easy, "However, how did he become a wanted criminal?" Has the General's Mansion also been sealed? ”
Lin Jue directly asked the question in his heart.
In the Lin family, only Lin Qiong can answer her question now.
"This matter is a long story, the emperor issued an edict one day, saying that he fornicated with the Tartars, the general's mansion was sealed, and the name of the Zhenguo Gong was also withdrawn, and now the whole country is offering a reward for his head......"
Entering the gate, Lin Jue followed him all the way inside.
She had 10,000 questions in her heart, but given the variety of people around her, she didn't have a sting
The courtyard of the Lin family was no different from when she left, except that the leaves of the big trees in the yard became more luxuriant, and all the qiē were the same.
When a few of the servants saw her, they first looked at her twice, and then bowed their heads very wisely.
Although there are many maids, the atmosphere in this house is much quieter than before. Lin Jue felt a little puzzled, why did he come in for so long and didn't see the second room and the old lady?
It seems that Lin Qiong is the only one left in this family?
"What about the others?"
Lin Qiong came up with a cup of tea, Lin Jue took the tea, took a sip, and looked up and asked.
It's not a lunch break now, and it's not yet evening, how can the whole family, except for the two of them, not see the third person from the Lin family? The old lady, the second master, Lin Ke, Lin Lang...... None of these people see it, isn't it?
"They're back in the South."
At the mention of this, Lin Qiong's gaze suddenly dimmed.
"What's going on?"
In previous years, the old lady would only go back to the south to visit her relatives and recuperate for a period of time only during the New Year's holidays, but now at this time, there is no festival at all.
Seeing Lin Jue's appearance, Lin Qiong knew that he couldn't hide it, and he didn't plan to hide it, so he poured himself a full cup of tea, and then drank it before he spoke, "Not long after you left, Vika designed a servant to hang himself at the door of our house, and the coffin was placed at the door of the house for several days, so as to take the opportunity to let our family withdraw from the marriage." I have used all kinds of methods to report to the official and ask someone to find a relationship, but Vica still does not back down. Later, she couldn't, so my grandmother agreed to withdraw from the marriage and took the initiative to dissolve your marriage contract with Nangong Yi...... Second sister, at that time, Vika was too pressing, and Nangong Yi was not there, so the reason why she withdrew from the marriage was also a helpless move......"
Lin Jue was stunned there, she knew why Nangong Yi's wanted reward was not implicated in her. It turned out that she had broken off her engagement with him. This, now speaking, shouldn't we thank Vicka?
After dissolving the marriage contract with Nangong Yi, the family was peaceful for a few days. Just when everyone thought there was nothing wrong, Lin Lang suddenly had a Gu poison attack...... And so it goes. The grandmother was so sad that she lay in bed for more than a month, and then ...... Lin Lang's first seven days later......"
Lin Lang is dead??!!
Such bad news was so sudden that Lin Jue was so frightened that he almost jumped up from his chair. Although from the moment Lin Lang was poisoned, she knew that one day, she would leave early. But today's news came too suddenly, a good person, just gone, how can she accept it in one breath?
"Second sister, calm down."
Lin Qiong saw that Lin Jue's face was constantly sweating, and couldn't help but say.
Too many things have happened in these days, and since Lin Jue left, almost overnight, the family has completely changed. It had taken him a long time to accept this fact, not to mention that Lin Jue had just come back now.
After Lin Lang left, the fifth brother went to find Ling Nan by himself without telling everyone...... Although the fifth brother and Lin Lang have never been at odds on weekdays, the relationship between the two is the deepest. So he went to find Ling Nan alone, and the result can be imagined, when I arrived......"
Speaking of this, Lin Qiong couldn't say any more.
He thought that after so long, he had accepted all these misfortunes and accepted the departure of these people, but now when he mentioned it again in front of people, he found that he had not let go at all, and now every word he said was like a cruel scene of the day being re-experienced.
"Lin Ke, what did he do later......"
Lin Jue plucked up his courage.
She was completely stunned, her mind was in a mess, and she was still trying to listen to what had happened in the Lin family during this period of time with only a mouthful of perseverance.
"When I arrive...... He was hung from the corner tower by the city gate, naked, stripped of his clothes and trousers, and covered with wounds, from which blood flowed and dripped into the large white porcelain bowl below......
"This is what Ling Nan did?"
Lin Jue restrained his desire to explode, gritted his teeth and asked.
"Hmm." , Lin Qiong nodded, gently hiding the sad look on her face. "When I arrived, the fifth brother was already out of breath...... reported to the official, but several government officials passed the buck to each other, and they were unwilling to take the case. Later, it was even more absolute, and it was directly said that it was the personal grievances of the king of Gaoyang County, and the government did not deal with it. The death of the fifth brother is too big a blow for both the grandmother and the father......"
Lin Jue clenched his fists tightly, his face pale.
Sure enough, she was still a woman's kindness, and when she saw Ling Nan on the road that day, she should let Nangong Yi solve him.
Lin Lang is dead, and Lin Ke is also dead......
Especially Lin Ke, such a vivid face, just gone?
Lin Jue still remembers that when she was a child, Lin Ke liked to bully her behind Lin Lang the most, chubby, looking honest, but in fact she was very naughty, as long as she saw her, even if she didn't beat her, it was a burst of cynicism. Back then, for a long time, she especially hoped that these two siblings would disappear in front of her.
But now, they're really gone.
Lin Jue didn't feel happy at all. On the contrary, what came up from her heart was endless fear and loss.
Even if Lin Lang is to blame, what about Lin Ke?
He's completely innocent...... Lin Jue originally thought that Lin Ke was expelled from the academy by Lin Lang's involvement, but he didn't expect that after she left for a while, Lin Ke would not even have his life.
"My grandmother was too hard to stay in this sad place, so she went back to the south with my father and ......"
Fortunately, they returned to the south in advance, otherwise, if the old lady knew that he had even been evacuated from the Hanlin Academy, Lin Qiong was not sure if the old lady would be able to survive any longer. (To be continued.) )
