Chapter 288: Destroying the Gate
"Miss, you are so majestic, you didn't see what those people were scared like just now!" Shuangshuang followed Lin Mumu back to the house and said with a look of adoration.
Lin Mumu didn't have a smile on his face, he came out like this today, I hope Lin Haode can settle down for a few days, but the matter on the eldest princess's side must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise no one knows what will happen.
"Diedie, these days, you have been watching the house, and you will tell me as soon as there is any situation."
"Yes, slave understands."
On the other side, Lin Haode and others also returned to the front hall.
What happened in Xiao Xiangju seemed to make them feel uneasy, and there was a dead silence in the front hall at this time, and no one spoke first.
"Old lady, big brother, are you all right?"
In the silence, a slightly shrill voice came from far and near, and after a while, Ma walked in.
Ma walked up to Mrs. Lin's side, and saw that Mrs. Lin's face was not very good, so he wrinkled his brows. "I've heard about everything, I didn't expect the eldest lady to be so bold and dare to do such a thing, eldest brother, old lady, you must not just let her go, otherwise the eldest lady will still be able to take you in her eyes in the future?"
Ma Shi opened his mouth to speak, and Old Madam Lin snorted coldly as if she had found an outlet to vent. "It's just that we didn't prepare for it today, otherwise we wouldn't have cleaned her up properly!"
Today's incident made Lin Haode lose face in the whole house, and he didn't have a good face when he saw Ma at this time.
"Haosheng, you didn't want to go to the Wang's Mansion with me for a banquet today, why haven't you come back yet?"
Ma Shi hurriedly said: "The master went to prepare for the ceremony, and it is almost time to come back now." ”
Lin Haode didn't say anything when he heard it.
"Master, the people from the eldest princess's mansion came to ask, saying that the auspicious time is coming soon, and ask the eldest lady if she is ready?" The housekeeper bowed down and walked into the hallway.
Lin Haode's eyebrows jumped, and he was irritable at the thought of dealing with the people from the eldest princess's mansion.
"I'll tell them." With Lin Mumu's posture, there is definitely no way to get her away today, so she can only deal with the people on the eldest princess's side and drag on the time before thinking of a way.
When Lin Haode arrived in the outer courtyard, the faces of the people waiting there in the Eldest Princess's Mansion were not so good-looking.
Although Lin Haode was unhappy in his heart, he still had to step forward and laugh.
"Lord Lin, this auspicious time is approaching, why haven't you seen Miss Lin yet, Lord Lin must know that in this Xijing City, I don't know how many people have sharpened their heads and want to enter the eldest princess's mansion, Miss Lin don't know how to be interested."
"Originally, everything was ready, but that girl suddenly didn't know where to go, you go back and tell the eldest princess that Lin will definitely send someone to the princess's mansion in two days, and please forgive the eldest princess."
Hearing this, the people in the eldest princess's mansion didn't believe it. "I don't know where to run when I'm going to get married, is the gate of this Lin Mansion too easy to get in and out?"
Hearing this, Lin Haode was also a little unhappy, the eldest princess didn't dare to offend easily, but he was also a scholar, and the eldest princess was too persecuted to take him seriously.
"The eldest daughter is a little stubborn, if this marriage makes the eldest princess unhappy and wants to give up, Lin will not have half a complaint, that is, the eldest princess will reason with the emperor, and Lin will not say anything."
The people of the eldest princess's mansion exchanged glances with each other when they heard this, the eldest princess's purpose was to bring people back, there was no need to really offend Lin Haode.
Thinking of this, the leader slowed his face.
"It's not that the little ones can't believe Lord Lin, it's just that this ...... You also know that we have won the life of the eldest princess, and we can't explain that this person can't be brought back. ”
"Lin knows that the person is not in the house, and Lin has no other way."
No, the eldest princess's people can only go back and talk back to the eldest princess first.
The people from the eldest princess's mansion sent out, and the fire in Lin Haode's stomach rushed up again, thinking that Lin Mumu was really born to defeat him!
"Master, the second master is back, saying that everything is ready, and the second master asked the little one to come over and ask when you will leave the house?" A family member walked up behind Lin Haode and said.
"Go now, and let people watch Lin Mumu closely, I can't let her leave Xiao Xiangju for half a step!"
"Yes, the small ones will send more people to watch."
"Hmm."
Lin Haode soon took Lin Haosheng out of the house.
Night falls.
Lin Mumu planned to go to Fang Zhenxuan early the next morning, so she took a shower and slept early after dinner.
But this night she slept very unsteadily, and always had some strange dreams, which made her feel very unstable.
Awakened by a strange dream again, Lin Mumu sat up from the bed.
She looked out the window at the moonlight and at the hourglass, it wasn't yet time, and it wasn't too late.
She got out of bed and poured a glass of water, and was about to go back to sleep when she heard a knock on the door.
"Miss, Miss!"
It's the sound of stacking.
Lin Mumu walked over and opened the door, and at a glance saw Diedie with an anxious face, Diedie had been by her side for several days, and she also knew a little bit about her temperament, this girl and Hui were almost paralyzed, and there was no obvious expression on her face in the past, and it was very rare to have an obvious burnt face like now.
"What's wrong? Is it Lin Haode, what kind of moth did they have again? ”
Stacked shook his head. "No, it's the people from the house......"
"What's wrong with the people in the house?"
"The people of the house...... They're all dead! ”
"What!?"
"The slave maid will take the eldest lady to have a look."
"Okay."
Lin Mumu casually took a skirt and put it on her body, and folded it out of the yard.
As soon as she walked out of the courtyard gate, she found a few people lying on the ground, these should be the Lin Mansion guards called by Lin Haode to come and see her.
Lin Mumu squatted forward and probed their pulse, the person was already out of breath, and the corpse still had residual warmth, so it should have been dead for a long time.
"Let's look elsewhere."
Lin Mumu and Diedie went to other courtyards again, and found that the people on duty at night had fallen to the ground, and when they came forward to check, they all had no breath, but there was still residual warmth on their bodies, and they had only been dead for a long time.
"Where's the main courtyard?"
"The slave hasn't gone over to see it yet."
Lin Mumu followed Stacked into Old Madam Lin's courtyard and found that she was also out of breath!
This sudden change made Lin Mumu's heart sink, and she always felt that another big conspiracy and trouble were invading her step by step.
"Diedie, you immediately go to another courtyard to see what the situation is with the people inside."
Stacking is also aware of the seriousness of this matter. "Yes, slave and maid will go."
Lin Mumu didn't dare to delay a little, and quickly checked the corpses on the ground, and the entire house was dead overnight, and she felt that it was very important to figure out the cause of death of these people
Necessary!
Outside the Lin Mansion, a carriage slowly stopped at the door.
The entourage stepped on the pedals before getting out of the carriage first, and helped the people in the carriage out of the carriage one by one.
The driver had jumped out of the car and knocked on the door. "Strange, where are the guards who used to keep guard outside the door?" The coachman looked at the empty gate and muttered suspiciously.
"Open the door, open the door, the eldest master and the second master are back." The coachman knocked on the door and shouted, but he knocked for a while and no one answered.
"These lifeless things, knowing that the master didn't come back, they didn't honestly guard the door, and dared to run elsewhere to be lazy, and now they were arrested, I see how you are still on an errand in the house!"
"What's going on? Where have all the people gone and haven't come to open the door?! ”
Lin Haode and Lin Haosheng just came back from drinking with Lord Wang, both of them were a little drunk, Lin Haode saw that there was no one guarding the door at this time, and he couldn't help frowning unhappily.
"Don't worry, sir, go to the side door to take a look, these boys are really more and more cheating and slippery."
The attendant didn't dare to delay and immediately walked towards the side door, usually at night the main gate and the side door will be guarded, but the attendant knocked on the door for a while after arriving at the side door and didn't see anyone responding, now I really doubt in my heart.
He looked around and found that there were several big stones at the root of the wall not far away, he simply moved the stones over and put them under his feet and gritted his teeth and climbed up the wall, fortunately, the courtyard wall of the side gate of the Lin Mansion was not too high, he climbed the wall and looked into the courtyard, and saw a figure falling not far away. "Stinky boy, you must have gone to drink and fell asleep."
The attendant jumped off the courtyard wall and came to the figure. "Wang Erhu, Wang Erhu wake up."
The attendant pushed the man on the ground, but the man on the ground did not move at all.
The attendant felt that something was not right, and reached out to Wang Erhu's snort with a trembling hand to probe......
"Ahh
"Master, master, it's not good, it's not good!"
The attendant opened the side door and rushed out.
Lin Haode and the two brothers were already waiting impatiently outside the door, and Lin Haode, who was startled by the attendant at this time, kicked him directly. "What's wrong! Your lord is very good! ”
"Ouch!"
The attendant was kicked to the ground, but he couldn't care about it and begged for mercy, so he only said in a trembling voice: "Master, the house, the house is dead, dead!" ”
In an instant, the wine of the two Lin Haode brothers woke up.
A quarter of an hour later, several people came to the side door and saw Wang Erhu lying on the ground at a glance.
The two brothers have been officials for many years, and they are people who have seen the world, but the death of a subordinate will not make them make a fuss.
But Lin Haode's face is very ugly. "How can someone die in the house, go and find the housekeeper to find out what the hell is going on."
"Yes."
Lin Haode rubbed his eyebrows a little irritably, today is really not smooth!
"Big brother, don't get angry, it's just a cheap person, don't take it to heart." Lin Haosheng said with relief.
Lin Haode nodded dispensably, obviously these words did not have any comforting effect on him.
"Old, old, old, lord, dead, dead, dead, all, all dead......" The attendant who went to find someone was already colorless when he came back, and he crawled to Lin Haode.
"Dead? Dead in everything? "Lin Haode doesn't have a good airway.
The attendant's bloodless lips trembled, and his voice trembled: "The people in the house, the house, the people in the house, are all dead!" ”
