Chapter 267
Of course, the former is a real villain, and he is afraid that he is a hypocrite.
Lin Youzhi, who had a trick last night because of a chance encounter in Yujianglou, was hiding in the school and restless at this time.
He wanted to hear that Lin Baoru was rejected by the Liu family because of this morning's troubles, but he was also afraid that this matter would be unfavorable and involve himself.
He was restless, so he could only hold the book and look at it absentmindedly, not to mention doing learning, even if he couldn't read a single big word on the book, his heart couldn't calm down at all.
The master who was passing by the class glanced in through the window, but saw that Lin Youzhi, whom he used to like, was in a fugue again, and couldn't help but sigh and shook his head helplessly.
Although he doesn't care much about the mundane things outside, he has heard about the changes in the Lin family, and there are some rumors about his beloved disciples.
At the beginning, as a master, he still blindly protected Lin Youzhi, and felt that people who read the books of sages could never really give birth to that kind of pickled thoughts. It is estimated that as Lin Youzhi said, he was implicated by his family, and he was also affected by the second brother of the gambler.
But later he left the Lin family, and he still made jokes one after another. Even his classmates in this school excluded him, and even mentioned him with disdain.
As a master, although he was disappointed in him, he couldn't see him completely degenerate, so he often used to "be diligent and plan for the future, and barely have a future." cherish classmates, and work is too light" to educate everyone.
After so many times, someone looked for him and carefully talked about what Lin Youzhi did in private. The so-called sanctimonious is all good.
Later, it was difficult for the master to have any compassion for him.
He knew very well in his heart that once a person's character is broken, then his heart is broken.
Such people, especially those who have made achievements, if they do not have a strong concentration and state of mind, they are afraid that they will become narrow-minded and become a scourge after they succeed.
And Lin Youzhi is exactly the kind that pretends to be the best on weekdays, but is actually quite vicious. Those in the school who have a good family background and really have some talents will definitely not be happy to be with him.
However, he has finally made enough bonds, and as a master, even if he doesn't like him, he won't kick people out of the school for no reason.
Let's say that Lin Youzhi's master, before he could leave, he saw a servant with a saber coming.
When the two officials saw the master, they bowed their hands very respectfully, "Old man, we are ordered by the county order to invite Lin Youzhi to go to the yamen." ”
The master was astonished and hurriedly asked, "But what went wrong?" ”
The official waved his hand and said, "It's just to go to the court and ask a few words." ”
As for the rest, they don't say anything.
Because of the involvement of the county order and the yamen, Mrs. didn't ask much, and went directly to the classroom to call Lin Youzhi out.
And Lin Youzhi, who has a ghost in his heart, looked at the black-faced servant, and his heart suddenly sounded.
But after all, he is also a person who has read books and has been in the Li family for a long time, although he is flustered, his face is still calm, and he even respectfully salutes with the officials.
The two officials came over together, and they also heard a lot about the Lin family from the mouths of onlookers, so they had a bad attitude towards Lin Youzhi.
But now that they saw Lin Youzhi's polite appearance, their suspicions about him were lighter. Naturally, the attitude has softened a bit.
"I'm so tired that Aunt Li will come with us, and the county magistrate has a few words to ask you."
Where would Lin Youzhi really want to follow them?
He could even imagine what kind of gaze the passers-by walking in front of the academy would look at him once he followed the officials out of the academy. I can even imagine how those classmates who don't look at themselves in the classroom behind me will get together to slander themselves later.
It's also a shame that the second young man of the Liu family didn't come to the school today, otherwise I'm afraid I would have said a few words to others.
It's just that now he has no choice at all, except to follow the official without showing the slightest timidity, he really has no way at all.
While walking on the road, Lin Youzhi reluctantly suppressed his weakness and pretended to talk with the officials casually.
"Two big brothers, you have a kind heart and tell the students why the county magistrate has to ask me to go to the court for questioning. After all, I'm a reader, and I've been spending all day and night in the school to review my homework, but I've never done anything bad. Lin Youzhi sighed, and said with a slightly heavy heart, "The two of you will also give me a thorough understanding, so as not to say the wrong thing after a while and make the adults angry." ”
That official is also an old fritter, how can he be tricked by his young man who is only twenty years old?
"Nothing else, just a few questions about your cousin."
When Lin Youzhi heard this, his heart settled down a little. Beautiful book bar
In this way, I am afraid that the mother-in-law who came to slander them succeeded. It's just that for some reason, she didn't accept it as she said, and she took the matter to court.
But as long as she gets the money as she wishes, she doesn't worry that she will turn back and confess what she instigated in the middle of the night.
As soon as Lin Youzhi was brought to the public court, he saw the mother-in-law and the two men who heard the movement looking back, and then the mother-in-law hurriedly turned around and pointed at him and shouted, "Master, it's him!" This is this person, who coaxed me in the middle of the night yesterday, so that we could find the bad luck of the young lady of the Liu family. ”
"It was also his idea to let us pretend to be two families, let me pretend to be the young lady's mother, and let my nephew coax my stupid niece to pretend to be seriously injured......" That mother-in-law is the same as pouring beans, and she doesn't need the county magistrate to re-interrogate, so she said in one go, "He patted his chest and said that he was watching the people of the Li family, and he would not let me meet them today." ”
At that time, the mother-in-law was not worried, after all, if she was exposed to her identity when she was making trouble, she would not be afraid. It doesn't matter if you provoke the Liu family to retaliate, you have to let the rescued girl's family take revenge.
But Lin Youzhi directly photographed the broken silver at that time, saying that the Li family would never go out today, and also said that as long as she could do something, she could get a hush money of 180 taels from the Liu family.
When the time comes, wouldn't it be better for her to take the money to buy a house and open a shop elsewhere than to be a poor peasant woman all her life?
It's also that this woman didn't have a man in the early years, and she hasn't seen silver for many years, so when she saw the bright broken silver, she was moved. Not to mention, there are still one hundred and eighty taels waiting for her behind.
With that, she answered in a daze.
Da Zhuang, who was kneeling beside her, echoed his aunt's words again and again, "Yes, he also said that as long as I talk to my sister this morning, things will definitely be done." When the time comes, Liu Dashao will leak some silver in his hands, which will be enough for our family to eat and drink for a lifetime. ”
Moreover, as long as he is bold enough, he can still come to the door for a long time.
"You...... Don't talk nonsense! Lin Youzhi's legs were weak, and he couldn't panic.
And the mother-in-law and Da Zhuang kowtowed: "Master Mingjian, what we said is the truth." ”
For a while, there was a commotion in the court, and the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable.
Lin Youzhi even looked at Lin Baoru very aggrieved, and kept begging her to help say a few words, but they have also been cousins for more than ten years, and she can't be a cousin without knowing her character.
"Cousin, I know that you still resent my mother in your heart, and you also complain that your grandmother loves me more. But my mother has been divorced, and my grandmother doesn't recognize our big house now, do you still have to worry about those things, and even watch your brother being wronged? Lin Youzhi burst into tears, and he stood up his spine with a somewhat grief-stricken look.
The onlookers couldn't bear it......
As soon as she heard Lin Youzhi talk about character, Lin Baoru couldn't help but roll her eyes.
In fact, she knew that Lin Youzhi was going to be morally kidnapped, and he was used to using this trick to influence him.
When he was in Taoxi Village before, he didn't cry and throw Lin Laohan to the door of the second room. Obviously, he dislikes being a grandfather and is paralyzed, but he still says that he must treat his grandfather first no matter what, if he really has no choice, he will never go to the second room to find help.
But does Lin Baoru care about those? She just didn't care, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to court.
"What my cousin said this, how can I be influenced by the public questioning? Everything has its own county commander in charge, if you are innocent, the lord will naturally return you justice. Of course, if you really do something evil, the prefectural magistrate will not let it go. After Lin Baoru finished speaking, he saluted to the hall and said righteously, "I often say that the yamen of this county has always adhered to a belief, that is, not to wronged a good person, nor to let go of a bad person. ”
After speaking, she respectfully kowtowed to the county magistrate, "My lord, what you said the little woman is right?" ”
When the county magistrate heard these words, he felt that it was quite pleasant, and immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, this official will definitely investigate this matter to the end and give an explanation to the Liu Mansion." ”
After speaking, he looked at the woman and asked, "What evidence do you have?" ”
When the mother-in-law saw that Lin Youzhi was actually kissing Liu Fu, she was suddenly anxious, could it be that they had made up their minds to make their own family a scapegoat.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, so much so that in a moment she was sweating profusely.
It wasn't until the county magistrate's patience was about to run out that she suddenly remembered something, "When he left yesterday, he was chased by my neighbor's dog, and it seemed that he bit off a trouser leg." If you don't believe him, let someone ask him and look for his clothes. ”
Hearing this, Lin Youzhi, who was still perked up just now, suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
Yesterday, because it was a temple fair, the discipline in the school was not strict, and the hardest students went out to the temple fair together.
At first, he didn't want to go out, because he had limited money on hand, and he wanted to use it in the future.
Second, he really has nowhere to go, and he has no company, so he looks lonely when he goes out.
It's just that later, he couldn't stand the words of others in the school, and remembered that Miss Li said before that he had set a place in Yujiang Building with a lot of money. In order to make those people jealous, he said that he had an appointment with his wife for a small gathering in Yujianglou.
That's it, he will go to Yujiang Tower to find the daughter of the Li family.
