With a "bang" sound, the door was pushed open, and Lin Shan strode in.

"Sensei gave her a face, and she didn't know how to repent of her death, and sent it directly to the yamen, she also said such shameless words, the Lin family treats the Zhang family brothers well, this is a well-known thing, let's sit upright. We didn't care about her, she in turn bit us, hated us, painted skin and tigers are difficult to draw bones, know people and faces, but don't know the heart, why bother raising tigers. ”

Lin Mei didn't know these truths, I don't know if she had lived under the same roof with the Zhou family for a long time, and she still had some affection for her; Or maybe because I was younger, my heart also softened.

"After all, she is Xiaosi's biological mother...... and it will be a hindrance to your reputation. Lin Mei was a little unbearable.

Lin Shan has also mixed up with a few officialdoms, and Master Yu often mentions it around him, and a good reputation is just a means for some people to blind the eyes of the world and gain a foothold in society. For the real royal and grandson clans, no matter how good or bad the reputation is, it can be established under the majesty of swords, guns and clubs.

"If you can't do it, you can do it. The eldest sister is no longer kind to others. Lin Shan frowned and was about to argue, looking at the dark green under her eyes, his tone was much softer, and said: "Eldest sister hasn't rested well recently, it's better for you to go back to the room to rest first, and leave the rest to your younger brother and Master Yu, just learn how to try the case." ”

Lin Mei was really tired, and after a few days of turbulence, her nerves were tense, and it was not until she saw that Brother Huai was safe and sound that she breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's it, sooner or later, this family will depend on you, I won't be involved in this matter, you can do it at your discretion."

As soon as Lin Mei left, Lin Shan ordered Bai Cui, Liu's family, Yuanji and others to bring over, not only that, but also called all the house slaves to watch.

The method is simple and rude, directly skipping the interrogation and directly moving the punishment, and beating Zhou and Yuan Ji first with ten boards each. According to Master Yu's words, this is called killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, listening to the screaming sound of hitting the board.

At this moment, Liu, who was forced to watch the execution, began to be afraid, and before the ten boards were finished, he sat down on the ground with a puff.

"I said, I said, this is all the second aunt, no, it's the Zhou family, the Zhou family not only wants to get rid of Lin Mei and you, but also wants to return to the Lin family, she said that as long as I help her get what she wants, after the matter is completed, half of the Lin family's wealth will be given to the big house, and I am also a ghost for a while. But I didn't do anything, so I rented a house for her. ”

What is revenge for her son, she is crazy, this is clearly trying to kill people and take money!

When Lin Shan heard this, he was even more angry, and said angrily: "Do you know who is behind her instructions, or who is helping her!" ”

"I really don't know this, I only know that she wanted to take advantage of Lin Mei's wedding day to use Brother Huai to blackmail and stir up the family matter, but who knew that she was found by the young master of the Luo family first." After Liu finished speaking, he was afraid that he would not believe it, and added: "Actually, I regretted it after helping her rent the house, really, I don't believe you asked Young Master Luo, when he went to look for someone, I still helped him cover and knock on the door." ”

Lin Shan didn't believe it, and snorted coldly: "Clever words, if it weren't for Young Master Luo to come to the door first, I'm afraid that at this time, you will still be in the same stream with her and have your big dreams of spring and autumn." I see that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin, even if you are my sister-in-law today, I can't let you go, and after the incident, I will personally make amends to my eldest brother. Come on, give me twenty boards. ”

Twenty?! Ten boards more than Zhou's, Liu's almost fainted when he heard it.

Fortunately, Master Yu spoke in time: "Master and slow!" ”

"Why did Master Yu stop me?"

Master Yu glanced at the Liu family, shook his head and said: "Uncle listens to me, first, although the Liu family is an accomplice, he has not done anything substantive to the Lin family, and it is a crime of covering up." Second, if the 20th board goes down, half a life will be gone, is it a bit of a heavy punishment? Third, Liu is your cousin's daughter-in-law, husband and wife are one, you may really want to torture her, Yu thinks it is better to inform your cousin first. Otherwise, there is a suspicion between the brothers, and the Zhou family is a lesson from the past! ”

Lin Shan hesitated for a moment, but said loudly: "Master Yu is too worried, you don't know that my cousin, he is lazy and romantic, he has no money and wants to learn from others to take concubines, and they don't know how many times they have made trouble about this matter." At this moment, I killed the Liu family, and maybe my cousin will be grateful to me. ”

This made Liu, who had just seen a glimmer of hope, go back to hell, and shouted in panic: "Don't, don't hit me, I was also threatened by her, really, I was really forced to helpless......"

Such a clueless sentence made Master Yu instantly come to his senses, "She threatened you? What did you do to make her threaten you? ”

Liu had to confess truthfully: "...... I didn't know that the manager had a grudge against the woman, so I took her to find the manager, and after this incident, I didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Zhou came to the door and threatened me, saying that if I didn't help her, she would tell Lin Mei about it, although I was a little scared, but thinking that she didn't prove it, I refused her, but she threatened me and said that the person who killed the head manager was also in Luoyang, and was in the Lin Mansion, if I didn't agree, she would let that person confess me. I was so scared......"

"But how can I trust you!"

"What I said is true, he is the one who killed the head of Xiang." Liu Shi pointed at Yuanji excitedly and said.

After a while, Lin Shan digested her confession, and looked at her with doubts and shock: "You are not mistaken!" ”

Lin Shan knew very little about the affairs of the head manager, including his death, and Lin Mei also deliberately concealed it. But at this moment, Lin Shan suddenly realized that the eldest sister was carrying too many secrets. And the truth of these secrets is probably not something that a woman can bear, and for a moment, he has mixed feelings in his heart.

"When I first saw him, I was shocked, but I would never admit it."

"Do you remember who the mother-in-law's last name is and where she lives?"

Liu slowly recalled: "That mother-in-law seems to be surnamed Tang, I don't know what her name is, I hear the accent is Jiangnan people, as for the residence, she seems to be a slave in a large family in Beijing." ”

Lin Shan didn't seem to be lying when he saw her, but he didn't really put the board on her, "As you tell the truth, after I find out the truth, I can no longer hold you responsible." But if you do something sorry for the Lin family again in the future, don't care about my old accounts and new accounts together! ”

The corners of Liu's eyes suddenly surged, and he said in surprise: "I don't dare anymore, in the future, I will stay at home and devote myself to supporting my mother-in-law, serving my father-in-law, doing my duty, and never causing trouble again." ”

Liu said everything he should have said, and he also printed his handprints on the confession, but he was spared a beating.

Bai Cui glanced at the silly Liu Shi next to her, her rough fingers pinched the corners of her clothes, and when she was hesitating, she was suddenly pulled and pressed on the bench, and then she came back to her senses, and the board hit her body, and the strong pain stimulated her soul.

"I said, I said, stop fighting, don't fight......"

"Stop, if you are so enlightened earlier, won't it save everyone trouble?" Lin Shan looked at her with a smile.

"I have told the eldest lady the truth before, if the uncle doesn't believe it, Miss Sixi can testify." Bai Cui repeated what she had said to Lin Mei before.
