Chapter 1072: Fire
Mrs. Lin was stunned when she heard this, but she still felt scared, in case this matter was revealed, she was afraid that they would also be implicated.
And when she thought that the Mongols might enter the city to burn and loot, she panicked, this kind of thing often happened in the past, Mrs. Lin was robbed by the Mongols when she was young, and at that time she and her mother hid in the closet to escape, and her father and brother were all killed by the Mongols.
She has a deep hatred for the Mongolian people, and at this time, she heard that the Mongolian people will come to the city, where can she be calm?
"Master, think about it clearly, this is not a small matter, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, can we afford such a crime? If the prefect also collapses because of this matter, where can it protect us? At that time, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay in this place in Lu County, maybe our whole family will be beheaded. ”
Master Lin is not afraid, if he was really so bold, he would not have gone to Governor Zhang's Mansion to ask him to help, but Governor Zhang's Mansion used Master Zhou to stimulate him, and he was firm in his idea of doing so.
And now, everything has been done, and at this point, where can he turn back? If he bites Governor Zhang at this time, then his fate will not be much better.
Master Lin patted the table and said, "Madam, you are confused, Governor Zhang's doing this is a violation of the law, but he is the emperor of the soil in our realm, so where can Xiaozhi County fight him?" If something really happens, Governor Zhang is ruthless, and that Xiaozhi County is good to live? We are far away from the emperor here, how can this matter be so easy to find out, the matter has come to this point, whether we want to take the risk or not, we are destined to get involved in this matter. ”
Mrs. Lin was suddenly frightened, sat back, and sat on the ground, "Master, this can't be done." ”
Master Lin was a little angry, "Everything is fine right now, you are just talking about it here, I should not have told you about it, I can warn you, if you dare to say a word about this, don't blame me for being unkind to you, let's be a husband and wife, I naturally don't want you to have an accident, but if you let the prefect know that you shook off his affairs, what will happen to you?" Even if you don't want to live anymore, you have to think about me and our son. ”
Mrs. Lin nodded dumbly, "I, I know, I won't say anything outside." ”
Master Lin waved his hand, "Okay, you go back and rest, don't think nonsense, I have everything in front, you are a woman, just stay in the inner house and live your good life." ”
Mrs. Lin was about to go out, but the housekeeper of the Lin family hurriedly ran in and bumped into Mrs. Lin, "Master, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good." ”
As soon as Master Lin heard this, he immediately panicked, stood up and said, "What's the matter, explain it clearly." ”
The housekeeper was incoherent, and it took a while to sort out the clue, "Master, there is a fire in the storeroom, what a big fire, what should I do now?" ”
Master Lin was stunned, "What did you say, it's on fire?" Which storeroom? ”
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "It's the place where we stacked the grain, there was a fire, I don't know what's going on, we don't have enough manpower at the moment, it's impossible to put out the fire, master, if it burns like this, the grain will be wasted." ”
Master Lin was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Then what are you waiting for, go find someone to put out the fire!" Why did it catch fire? Which stupid thing did the good thing? ”
The housekeeper said with a bitter face, "Master, at this time, we must have alarmed the yamen, if we find someone to put out the fire, won't it be an admission that the house has something to do with us?" When the fire was extinguished, the contents were discovered, and the lord couldn't tell even if he had ten mouths. ”
Master Lin was so anxious that he was about to cry, "So what should I do, so much food, and I still point to making a lot of money, if I don't put out the fire, all those things will be burned down, won't all my silver be wasted?" If the Yamen is allowed to extinguish the fire, what will happen to those things, will it be possible that you will let me go to the Yamen to claim them? ”
The housekeeper has no choice, "Master, at the moment can only be to don't want those grains, if the lord is involved at this time, he is guilty of the crime, and at this time there is so much food, it is a big crime, and the yamen also asked the lord to ask before, but the lord denied it, even if he wants to change his words and say that the grain is ready to be given to the victims, it is too late, lord, there is no benefit in mixing in, this time it can only be regarded as unlucky, those silver, most of them...... Most of them can't get it back. ”
Old Man Lin's legs weakened and sat on the chair, "It's over, it's over now, how much do you have to pay for this?" The price of those grains is not low. ”
The matter has come to this point, and the housekeeper can only try his best to persuade him, "Master, you can make more money when the money is gone, but at this time, you will inevitably go to prison, and you have to think about it clearly." ”
Master Lin waved his hand weakly and let the housekeeper go out, Mrs. Lin was still sitting on the ground at this time, Master Lin sighed for a long time, and Mrs. Lin got up and went over to comfort him.
"Master, don't think about it, beware of being angry, it's bad luck, I said that this kind of thing shouldn't be contaminated, and something will happen in the end."
Master Lin was very angry and pushed her, "It's all your crow's mouth, it's all good, and you've been saying unlucky things, so something happened here, tell me, how do you get that silver back?" Oh, you really don't do good things, please find me a lot, what's the use of me marrying you? ”
There was a fire in his heart, and at this time, he spread it through Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin was also extremely aggrieved, if he wasn't so bold and dared to do such a thing, how could he get into trouble? I'm going to be angry with her at this time.
The husband and wife quarreled here, and everyone in the yamen went to those houses to extinguish the fire, and the surrounding people also brought water from their homes to help extinguish the fire.
At this time, there was a drought, water was very precious, and there was not much left at home, so I was afraid that the fire would get bigger and bigger, and everyone was panicked.
However, the yamen had already prepared for it, and did not intend to extinguish the fire with water at all, but used sand and soil, and it only took two quarters of an hour to extinguish the fire.
Tiankuo took people inside to take a closer look, there were countless grains piled up in these houses, and the fire only burned to the side, and it was not so serious.
Tiankuo immediately asked people to find out who the owner of this house was, and ordered the people below to find out where the grain came from.
