Chapter 370: Reflection
"What did you do to help the Zhou family murder the Lin family?"
"Wronged, the slave didn't know that the Zhou family wanted to murder the Lin family at that time, she only said that she wanted to see the fourth lady, and she gave the silver and threatened, so the slave and the maid had to cover for her, so that her mother and daughter met twice. Later, the Zhou family came to the door several times, and during that time, the house was preparing for the eldest lady's family affairs, and there were many people, and I was afraid that people would know about it, so I didn't agree. ”
"Also, you will invite it truthfully." Master Yu listened and recorded carefully.
"On the day the house caught fire, that is, on the same day that Brother Huai died, she suddenly appeared outside the door and said that she wanted to see Miss Four, but I didn't agree at that time. But she threatened me again, and if I did not agree, she would tell the lord and the eldest lady about my family's private property. I was so scared at the time, plus the old man and the eldest lady took someone to rescue the second lady, and there were not many people left in the house. The slave had the courage to let people in, but the slave never thought that she would take the opportunity to set the fire, and she didn't know that she would steal Brother Huai. If the slave knew that she had such a vicious hand to take revenge on the Lin family, the slave would not put her in the mansion at all. ”
Lin Shan slapped the table angrily, what is the use of keeping such a slave, "Why don't you tell me in time afterwards?" ”
"Uncle didn't know, that day the firewood room suddenly caught fire, and there was a lack of manpower at home, the slave was busy extinguishing the fire, and then after the fire was extinguished, I heard that the little master was gone, which was thought of Zhou, and the slave was too scared at that time. Beg the uncle to spare his life, and spare his life......" Bai Cui hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Do you also know about the Liu family's harboring of the Zhou family?"
"At first, the slave maid didn't know, but on the third day of the little master's death, Mrs. Liu suddenly asked the slave and maid to inquire about the situation in the house, and the slave and maid paid attention. Afterwards, Mrs. Liu gave the slave and maid five taels of silver as a hush money......"
If the eyes could kill, at this time, Bai Cui had already slashed a thousand knives in Lin Shan's eyes full of anger.
The testimony of the two, plus Brother Huai was rescued from Zhou's hands, the witness evidence is everything. Master Yu handed over the collated testimony to Lin Shan for a look, and the truth of the whole matter was as clear and clear as a veil lifted. All the results point to the murderer named Motoyoshi, and even if he refuses to tell the truth, someone knows the master behind him.
This is a matter of the Lin family's secret, Lin Shan saw that his goal had been achieved, and dismissed all the house slaves, even Bai Cui and the Liu family were brought down to wait for the fate.
At this time, only Master Yu and Lin Shan were left in the hall, and the prisoner Zhou and the murderer Yuan Ji were present.
"Yuanji, who are you, if you recruit from the truth, I will give you a happy death!"
"Lin Ye is so angry, aren't you afraid that the Lin Mansion will set up a private torture hall and kill innocents indiscriminately, and be sued to the Ministry of Rites!?"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you now, I will slowly let you understand what life is better than death!"
Since he was so hard-mouthed, he was polite to him, and found some chili water to pour on his body, new and old wounds, but where the chili water was stained, the strong stinging pain made him who still wanted to be hard again, and had to lower his head.
……
Lin Mei was lying on the bed, although she was tired, she didn't feel sleepy at all. recalled the "new life" in Datang over the years, moved from Yangshu Village to Baishui Town, and finally moved to Luoyang, almost tasted the ups and downs of life, and at the same time saw the truth, goodness, beauty, falsehood, evil and ugliness of human nature in this world.
At the same time, it witnessed the ups and downs of the Luo family from prosperity to decline; Although the Liu family seems to be rising now, it is also facing the attack of heavy rain.
Although the Lin family is not the richest man in the country, they can be regarded as outstanding in Luoyang. Even if you don't want to be evil to others and be cautious everywhere, you still can't stand the jealousy and greed of human nature.
When he first arrived in Luoyang, Hongxinglou was rejected and threatened by the entire peers, although he finally turned the danger into a disaster, but still set up a lot of secret enemies.
framed, killed and set fire, and now even the child does not let go, and the hand fault is endless, and its changes are strange and varied.
Even this family affair with the Liu family may have been disturbed by someone. Otherwise, according to Liu Dawu's wishes, it is impossible to agree to withdraw from his family, let alone let his wife go to the palace to make a fuss.
The outside must first be inside, and there are more and more problems exposed within the Lin family, and the Zhou family, Bai Cui, the Liu family and even Mrs. Liu have become chess pieces on other people's chessboards. Even if the real culprit behind the scenes this time is found out? Who's next?!
In this dynasty where the strong are respected, in the final analysis, the Lin family is not strong enough!
Lin Mei pondered and reflected......
The fiery sunset shone into the window, and the confused Lin Mei was awakened.
"What time is it?"
"At three o'clock, dinner has been prepared, and the lord and uncle are waiting for the eldest lady in Furong's hall." Fluttershy finishes and hands over the hot towel she has prepared.
The warm towel was applied to her face, unblocking the nerves that had not yet awakened in every pore, and after freshening up, Lin Mei felt much more refreshed.
"How's the uncle's interrogation?"
Fluttershy took advantage of the time to comb her hair and recounted what happened at noon, thinking about the crackling sound of the board, and couldn't help but shudder, "Miss didn't see it, Mrs. Liu's face was scared green at the time, and she relied on her identity as Mrs. Lin on weekdays, but she didn't give us slaves a lot of faces." This time she has lost so much face, I hope she can restrain herself. ”
I hope so!
In the final analysis, she is still the Lin family, the eldest daughter-in-law of the big house, she made a mistake alone, and she lost the face of the Lin family.
Thinking of this, she went to the Hibiscus Hall.
Everyone in the hall sat around the table, but no one moved first, and the younger sisters saw her coming and happily invited her to take a seat.
"Dad, let's eat first." Lin Mei was a little embarrassed by this guest.
Father Lin looked at her as if she was fine, but he was also a lot relieved, and said with a smile: "I wanted you to sleep a little longer, but I heard that you haven't eaten anything since noon, and I was worried that you couldn't stand it, so I asked the kitchen to cook a few of your favorite dishes." ”
"Yes, eldest sister, I know you also like this sweet and sour pork ribs, so I won't fight with you today." Lin Tao, who had been worried all day, laughed.
Even Lin Mo, who is the most greedy on weekdays, said with an innocent smile at this time: "Eldest sister, I will also give this plate of Sixi balls to my eldest sister." ”
"You have such a good heart?!" Lin Mei smiled and scratched the bridge of her little nose.
Only Lin Xi'er silently picked up vegetables for her, and it seemed that only this move could express her heart.
Lin Mei looked at the dishes on the table, all of which were made according to her preferences, and her sense of happiness rose suddenly, this feeling of being pampered - it's so good!
Lin Shan looked at her ruddy complexion, and her spirit was much better, but her cheeks were thin again, thinking about her efforts for this family over the years, self-blame and guilt arose.
Under the courtesy of her sisters, when she was eating happily, she suddenly felt that she seemed to have strange eyes staring at her, and she couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her face, and asked Lin Shan: "Why are you looking at me, do you have dirty things on my face." ”
Lin Mei was stared at strangely uncomfortable by his speechless eyes, could it be that he had already found out the real culprit behind the scenes?
Lin Shan was shocked and rude, and hurriedly changed the topic, saying: "Minghui originally wanted to come back together, but a few days ago, she just found out that she was pregnant, and she was very happy, Lang Zhong said that it was best to rest in bed for the first three months, so I let her rest at home with peace of mind." ”
This is great news, and the most excited thing is Daddy Lin, who even fell to the ground with chopsticks, and he didn't know it, and said, "What?!" Does your daughter-in-law have it? I'm going to be a grandfather! ”
