Chapter 267: General Chang's Proposal?!

Old Man Lin listened to Mrs. Lin's evaluation of Lin Zhu, and he was very happy, and when he saw the jade pixiu in Lin Yuewei's hand, his heart was even more steady. A person who can give away such a valuable object casually will definitely not be much worse off in life, and the guilt in Old Man Lin's heart has also been reduced.

After Lin Zhu returned home, he didn't have a chance to put his mind on the Lin Mansion, because there was a major event in the capital, which caused a sensation in the whole city and even the whole country.

The mastermind of General Chang's unjust case was finally found out, and it turned out to be Cao Youwei, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

It turned out that General Chang had been stationed in northern Xinjiang, and after several generals under his command could stand alone, the emperor sent him to Haizhou in the southeast to garrison, because it was located in the coastal zone, smuggling, pirates and thieves were rampant. After General Chang arrived at the defense, he seriously dealt with the local generals, strictly enforced military discipline, and reorganized the army.

The local garrison is no longer an ornament, and it really hits those smugglers and invading pirates and thieves.

But in this way, the interests of some people are violated.

So a conspiracy against General Chang began. Cao Youwei, the secretary of the military department, took advantage of his power to first buy off one of General Chang's subordinates in northern Xinjiang, forged false evidence, and turned over the old story before convicting General Chang of illegally selling grain and grass.

The secretary of the military department is treacherous, scheming, and has a deep heart. He worked step by step, found a lot of shields for himself, not to mention, and created a lot of illusions, so that after General Chang was rehabilitated, he did not find his flaws for a long time.

If it weren't for the fact that the military department Shangshu couldn't hold it back in the end, he would have to kill Chang Tianlei. Find someone to sneak attack him, let Mu Qiyue plan his plan, follow the vine, and find his fox tail, maybe he can't find the handle to catch him until now.

When I don't know who the mastermind of Lu Dao is, no amount of evidence is in vain, but after the object is determined, it is much easier to investigate the evidence of Cao Youwei's crime.

So, in less than a month, General Chang's palace and the emperor's people found out that a large number of Cao Youwei used smuggling boats to make huge profits. Evidence of collusion with pirates and pirates for the sake of Haizhou. Among them, the prefect of Haizhou is also deeply involved, and officials large and small, I don't know how many are involved.

So far, Haizhou, who has been oppressed for a long time, dares to speak freely. He told all kinds of illegal things such as smuggling, pirates, thieves, and official oppression.

The emperor was furious. not only ordered someone to thoroughly investigate Cao Youwei. In addition, all the officials involved in the case in Haizhou were escorted back to Beijing, and a credible official was sent to take over the affairs there.

When Cao Youwei asked for beheading, the people in the capital knew that he had not only made a lot of money. He also tried in vain to occupy an island in the sea, wanting to establish himself as a gateway and occupy the island as the king.

When I found that island, there were a large number of people who had been missing in Haizhou for more than ten years, and they were all in pain and suffering when they were rescued.

Because Cao Youwei was convicted, he was really happy, and the whole capital was jubilant, and those who had been suppressed by the Cao family also had a chance to rise, and they were all very happy.

But the Chang family, as one of the heroes, did not celebrate with much fanfare.

"Grandma, father, mother, your great revenge has finally been avenged today." Chang Tianlei knelt in the ancestral hall, weeping bitterly and reporting to the three relatives who died in the fire. General Chang, who was standing next to him, was also in tears, and his spine, which had always been strong, was also slightly bent.

Chang Yi and the others all stood solemnly outside the ancestral hall, everyone's faces full of sadness.

People cannot be resurrected after death, even if they take revenge, they still cannot see their relatives, and this pain will be imprinted in their hearts for a lifetime.

White flags were hung inside and outside the house to comfort their souls in the sky. The General's Mansion also began to close its doors.

Chang Tianlei also kept filial piety in the ancestral hall for a month.

When the gate of the Chang family finally opened and the first guest entered, the people in the capital finally regained its original momentum.

The first guest to enter the door can be regarded as Chang Tianlei's life-saving benefactor, on the other hand, she is also the benefactor of General Chang's Mansion, she is Lin Zhu.

Accompanied by Chang Shi, Lin Zhu took Fu Dou'er into the General's Mansion.

"Sister, it's so big here." Fu Dou'er took Lin Zhu's hand and looked left and right, very curious. "Is Brother Tianlei living here?"

"Yes, this is his home." Lin Zhu lowered her head and replied, along the way, the impression given to her by the General's Mansion was that it was more rigid than gentle.

It seems that because it is a military family, the general's mansion exudes a strong and atmospheric feeling everywhere, as if the soldier's integrity is all engraved on the walls of the mansion, on the ground, and even on the grass and trees.

"Girl, this is where the general meets, please come in." Chang Yi raised his hand and made a gesture of please.

Lin Zhu and Fu Dou'er entered the hall, and when they looked at the furnishings inside, Lin Zhu had a feeling that his head was full of black lines, where is this a place to meet guests, it is clearly a meeting hall in the army.

There are still weapons behind the chair, for fear that I don't know that Lu Dao is the General's Mansion.

General Chang hadn't arrived yet, so Chang Yi asked Lin Zhu to sit and wait casually, and then went to invite him.

"Sister, are these real weapons?" Fu Dou'er ran to the weapon rack to watch curiously.

"It should be true, but be careful not to touch them." Lin Zhu looked at the sharp edges of those weapons and warned Fu Dou'er to stay away from those things.

"Sister, what a majestic weapon, it's much better than the ones that the fourth uncle gave me." Fu Dou'er said with some envy.

Of course, Lin Zhu thought to himself, if Mu Si dared to give you a real weapon, he would have been driven out of the city by his sister.

"Sister, look at this weapon is so strange." It doesn't matter if Fu Dou'er is curious, he wants Lin Zhu to watch it with him. "Do you know what this is?"

"I don't know what to do, maybe it's not a weapon." Lin Zhu also squatted next to the shelf and said uncertainly. Although Lin Zhu didn't recognize all of the eighteen weapons, he could have seen a few ancient weapons on TV before.

But the things in front of me really couldn't be understood, so the two sisters and brothers whispered in front of the shelf. Even those who entered did not know what to do.

"Sister, you're so stupid that you don't even know what to do." Fu Dou'er's milk doll voice came.

"You're not smart, don't you know what to do?" Lin Zhu was secretly angry that this little fat man dared to be disrespectful to himself.

"Hmph, when I become a general, I will know the truth." The three-year-old baby is arrogant.

"yes, I couldn't walk anymore." Although Lin Zhu usually takes care of Fu Dou'er, he occasionally has convulsions.

Chang Yi and Chang Shi followed behind General Chang, and when they heard what Lin Zhu and Fu Dou'er said, their faces couldn't help twitching, remembering that in front of General Chang just now, they talked about Lin Zhu's calm and generous and different, and now they can't wait to swallow the words back.

Seeing that General Chang's face didn't seem to change, Chang Yi coughed.

"Miss Lin, the general is here." Chang Yi reminded loudly.

Lin Zhu was startled, his face was a little feverish, and he was really embarrassed to think of the nonsense that his sister and brother were talking about on other people's territory just now.

She took Fu Dou'er's hand and stepped forward to salute General Chang. "Lin Zhu, a folk girl, has seen the general with her younger brother."

"Miss Lin doesn't have to be polite." General Chang's loud voice rang out in the hall. Because it was too empty, Lin Zhu accidentally heard the echo.

The voice was full of anger, it seemed that he had recovered well, and Lin Zhu secretly slandered in his heart.

Because of her admiration for the general, Fu Dou'er stared at General Chang with wide eyes and looked at General Chang curiously. Sitting on the chair, his two little short legs couldn't touch the ground, and he moved uncomfortably.

"Miss Lin is my Chang family's great benefactor, but she has not been able to thank her in person, and the Chang family is rude." Even if General Chang said the first words of thanks, he still had a serious expression on his face. It really gave Lin Zhu a headache to see.

"General Chang has an overreputation, and the great benefactor will not let him talk about it." General Chang's momentum is far more than that of Chang Shi and others, and the murderous aura accumulated from decades of fighting on the battlefield is naturally very powerful, even if he takes Lin Zhu and the two worlds as his determination, he gradually becomes nervous. Speak involuntarily short and cautiously.

But Lin Zhu thought about it, he was not a criminal on trial, let alone his enemy, and he couldn't be weak and afraid, so his demeanor became natural again.

General Chang sat at the top, and kept looking at Lin Zhu from the moment he entered the door, and when he first heard her talk with Fu Dou'er, he thought that she was just a little girl who didn't know anything about the world, and she was not as powerful as Chang Shi and the others said.

But gradually, I can see that she is different. Usually, the ladies and ladies of the family were silent when they saw him, and they would not be like Lin Zhu at all, although they were a little nervous at the beginning of speaking, but they gradually relaxed.

"Thanks to Miss Lin's protection, Tianlei has been able to return to the old man's side intact." General Chang's voice suddenly became low. "Especially when he becomes mature, maybe in a few years, he will be able to bear the burden of the Chang family."

Lin Zhu didn't speak, although the hero was late, but General Chang was not an ordinary hero, what did his words mean, Lin Zhu was really a little confused.

"Miss Lin, what do you think of Tianlei?" Seeing that Lin Zhu didn't speak, General Chang asked bluntly.

What does he care about me? Lin Zhu muttered to himself in his heart, it's not me, if you have an idea, please don't hit me.

"Young Master Chang is the best among the people, handsome and elegant, quick-witted, and ...... both civil and military" Lin Zhu picked up the nice one and presented it, with a very sincere expression on his face, and the words he said were basically exaggerated but not exaggerated.

"Ahem." Chang Shi was a little uncomfortable when he heard it, he always felt that something was wrong when he heard Lin Zhu praise Chang Tianlei, he was used to seeing Lin Zhu teach Chang Tianlei a lesson, but he didn't expect that in Lin Zhu's eyes, he actually had so many advantages.

It seems that Tianlei still has a lot of merit in the eyes of Miss Lin. How about marrying Tianlei? General Chang's words came out. Shocked by the jaws of the three people, Lin Zhu, Chang Yi, and Chang Shi all looked at General Chang in surprise.

"You, you're kidding, aren't you?" Lin Zhu said with a slight stammer. (To be continued......)
