Chapter 418: A Sudden Dowry

The next day, the prefect's yamen, the place where the rear government was on an errand, the two people were talking, more like an argument, a man and a woman, the man was the new prefect Li Dexing, and the woman was Li Youlan, although the father and daughter were very calm, but there was a faint smell of gunpowder contained in it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Father, what case did Brother Yang commit? Why did you arrest him? ”

"Youlan, calm down, I know you have a good impression of Yang Lin, and you have a good impression. However, this is the Father's business, so don't meddle or intervene. Besides, it wasn't me who sent someone to arrest him, but the case under the governor's palace, and I was ordered to preside over the trial, and there was nothing I could do about it. ”

The moment he told the truth, the room suddenly fell silent, Li Youlan looked at his father in shock, showing a miserable look, realizing that the matter was more serious than he imagined, and still refused to give up and said: "Father, this is a communiqué personal vendetta in the Governor's Palace~!" ”

However, Li Dexing was unmoved, and said with a bitter heart: "Youlan, I know what you are referring to, don't worry, the governor will not be selfish." If Zhang Jiasheng's offense was not blocked by Yang Lin that time, and he was the one who entered the prison, how could he embarrass Yang Lin because of that incident? Youlan, you're thinking too much. ”

At this time, Li Youlan still had no intention of giving up, and did not listen to Li Dexing's persuasion, as if he had made some kind of decision, he suddenly asked: "Father, about two years ago at this time, do you remember the incident when I met the robbers on the way here?" ”

Li Dexing was a little confused, and didn't understand why his daughter said about it, but he still said in passing: "Remember, of course I remember, how can I forget?" It was at that time that Yang Lin you knew, if it wasn't for his help to rescue you from the robbers, my father couldn't imagine what the final outcome would be? I wonder if I can see you again? ”

Speaking of this, Li Dexing showed a hint of apology, that was the guilt of being powerless about Yang Lin's matter, that was powerless to his daughter's request, and he couldn't give any help.

At this moment, Li Dexing deeply knew that in the past, his daughter was a docile woman, and she rarely asked and asked herself a little rudely like today. Among them, there is no lack of gratitude, but more of it is the affection for Yang Lin and the firmness of refusing to give up easily.

Without waiting for Li Dexing to persuade again, Li Youlan's voice sounded again, and the information in the words was even more shocking, to Li Dexing's surprise, it was an explosive message.

"Father, you only know one thing, you don't know the other, it's not that simple, it's not just Brother Yang who rescued me from that gang of robbers. Moreover, the leader of that group of gangsters was Zhang Jiasheng, and the whole thing was planned by him. At that time, Brother Yang taught him a hard lesson and was seriously injured, he must have been disgruntled and kept this revenge in mind, so he waited for an opportunity to take revenge on Brother Yang. ”

Hearing this, Li Dexing suddenly became angry in his heart, and he became resentful of Zhang Jiasheng, and his original firm belief was shaken, and he doubted the true intentions of the Governor's Palace.

Ordinary people may not know, but he, Li Dexing, as an official, still knows some news. Although Zhang Jiasheng is a flowery swinger with perverse behavior, he is very valued by the governor Na Yancheng and has been carefully cultivated, not only because he only has this one son, but also because Zhang Jiasheng's performance is not good, and he can take charge of himself whenever there is a big event.

It is very likely that the governor Na Yancheng will untie Zhang Jiasheng's heart knot and get rid of Yang Lin for the sake of his son.

Although he doubted in his heart, Li Dexing was probably able to determine that Yang Lin's conviction was not unrelated to the beating of Zhang Jiasheng twice in a row, and it was very likely that it was revenge after the fact, and the score was settled after the autumn. It wasn't discovered, it was just hidden deeply, and the kind of reason on the surface was impossible to veto.

Suddenly, Li Dexing let out a long sigh, revealing a thousand helpless looks, as if the last trace of strength in the Buddha's body was withdrawn, and said earnestly: "Hey... Youlan, to be honest, I also like Yang Lin, a young man, not only with a lofty spirit, but also talented and personable, if there is no such thing, I am ready to marry you to him. When I accepted this case, my first reaction was similar to yours, I also wanted to believe it or not, and I also wanted to save him. ”

"However, it is impossible to argue that the information given to me by the Governor's Mansion is reasonable and well-founded, and it has already been investigated. To put it bluntly, Yang Lin's case is already an iron case, and there is no possibility of overturning the case at all, from this point of view, my father and you agree that this matter is Zhang Jiasheng's revenge, and it has been planned a long time ago. ”

"Youlan, father might as well say more, I not only have pressure from the Governor's Mansion here, but also from the Governor's Yamen, ordering me to close the case as soon as possible. Moreover, the emperor has already had a secret decree, no matter who is involved, it must be strictly investigated and dealt with, and there will be no mercy, you don't have any illusions, there is no possibility of rescuing Yang Lin. ”

"Youlan, my father is just a small prefect, there is a governor's yamen and a governor's mansion, what can I do? That's it, after this case is over, I quit my father and quit my job, and I returned to my hometown..."

For a while, the room was silent, the atmosphere was a little solemn and depressing, looking at his father's melancholy face, although there were still thousands of heartfelt complaints in his heart, and infinite grievances wanted to say, Li Youlan still held back, silenced, and did not force his father again.

The moment he heard his father say that he would resign, Li Youlan's heart was extremely heavy, as if he had been hit hard by a hammer, and he also realized that things had developed to this point, and he couldn't change anything with his father's official position?

A moment later, just when the father and daughter were thinking heavily, a series of eager footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

"Master, master, great joy, great joy, the governor sent a matchmaker to propose marriage, and sent a good dowry~!"

This voice was all too familiar, and before they saw anyone, the two of them knew who was speaking. At this moment, Li Youlan's face became even paler, his mood became heavier and heavier, and when he heard the word dowry, he realized that in this mansion, only he could marry, not to mention that it was his stepmother and father's wife who reported the good news.

Seeing his daughter's performance, Li Dexing's mood became heavier and more guilty, of course, he knew what his daughter was thinking, and he could understand it better. At this time, at this time, Yang Lin may be beheaded at any time, how can she get married?

In an instant, without any hesitation, Li Dexing had secretly made up his mind, and when he had a choice, he would never agree to this marriage, no matter who the other party was?

Everything happened in a short period of time, just when the father and daughter were thinking about each other, Li Dexing's wife had already walked in, and the excitement on Li's face was sweeter than eating honey. As soon as he walked in, he saw that Li Youlan was also there, without any suspicion or greeting, he went straight to Li Dexing, and said happily again: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, do you know who the person who is asking for marriage is?" ”

At this moment, Li Dexing has never felt that the Li family is so annoying, disgusting, so blind, can't he see that he and his daughter are in a bad mood? Don't you know the relationship between your daughter and Yang Lin? Don't you know that Yang Lin was convicted and imprisoned?

All of this was deliberately ignored by the Li family, Li Dexing knew that his wife had always hoped that her daughter would marry out as soon as possible, preferably from a rich and noble family, so as to be able to get a little light, so as to climb the dragon and the phoenix. However, Li Dexing had already made a decision, and as soon as Li's words were finished, he was unequivocally categorical: "Congratulations on what? Congratulations to what? Am I okay with that? Take any dowry, return it to me! ”

Hearing this, Li Youlan's face improved a lot, and he glanced at his father gratefully, still preoccupied, sad, and a bad feeling arose, this matter did not pass so easily. (To be continued.) )
