Chapter 11: The Truth
Above the public court, the mighty officials stood on both sides, like a door god who would not be moved.
The steps of the yamen were empty and deserted.
Lin Cang's temples were frosty white, and his face was full of vicissitudes, but he couldn't see the slightest bit of grace and stubbornness, only the vigor and grandeur that did not belong to this age.
"Daddy! Absolutely not! Lin Wu heard the sneer of the county order, and roared angrily: "I didn't expect you to not only bend the law for bribes, but also cheat for personal gain!" Use such despicable means to lead me into a scheme...... Liuyi! If you still have a conscience, don't be with them! ”
The woman in red was just teary-eyed, she was simply the reincarnation of the drama spirit, and at this moment he was clinging to the county order, and he was very cute.
Seeing this, Lin Wu's angry teeth were chattering: "You guys have colluded and calculated our Lin family's property, aren't you really afraid that the prefect will find out and take off your black yarn hat from the seventh grade!" ”
"If you don't use the prefect to pressure me, the prefect doesn't have time to take care of these trivial things." The county magistrate laughed loudly, revealing a treacherous smile, but this smile was obviously a little stiff:
"It's Lin Cang, you are now the head of the family, and your son is above the court against the county master...... If the Son does not teach, the Father is guilty. Are you guilty? ”
Lin Cang didn't say a word from beginning to end, just looked at his son Lin Wu with satisfaction.
"Dad, listen to me, they have put on a good show, and they want to blame your son." Lin Wu said anxiously, "Even if I am killed today, you only need to inform the Lord Mansion and apologize for me, and you must not hand over my Lin family's property." ”
"Otherwise, I will be speechless to face the old man under the Nine Springs!"
When the county magistrate heard this, he actually left a cold sweat on his forehead: "...... You, you, you, don't repent, and use the prefect to threaten the officials, come on, detain Lin Cang, the father of the criminal Lin Wu, and be punished in court! ”
"You dare! Conscience into the dog's belly! Let me tell you, if you dare to touch a single hair of my father today, I will not let you go! Lin Wu's eyes were slightly red and bloodshot.
No matter how strong his body is, he is also a living and dead, a flesh and blood body with white bones, and under fifty boards, his skin is already open, and the pain is unbearable.
If Lin Cang, who is a handful of years, is also punished, he may not die and only have one breath left.
Lin Cang looked at the evil face of the county commander, and suddenly laughed: "I remember that when I was young, you were just a helpless beggar, and by the grace of my father Lin Yan, I introduced you to the Yuanwaifu and became a groom. ”
"It's also diligent, don't worry about food and clothing, why didn't you expect to climb the county order now, but take revenge...... Could it be that your conscience, as Wu'er said, can't be eaten by a dog! ”
When he was still a teenager, the county order nodded to Lin Yan and the Lin family, and he didn't even dare to speak directly. Now it's really a subordinate, but I never thought of doing this kind of thing.
“…… One...... Nonsense! Dare to insult the county master! The county order was obviously poked in the soft underbelly, and even his hands were trembling, and he waved a few times indiscriminately, signaling the officials to hurry up and take Lin Cang to execution.
From beginning to end, the prefectural order always wore a stiff smile and a cold sweat ran down his forehead.
Lin Wu saw that the official was going to tie up his father, and began to break free like crazy.
His back has been turned out, and he doesn't know the pain at all, his arms are desperately exerting, and the hemp rope that even a cow can't break free from is showing signs of breaking at this moment.
"Someone...... Someone's coming! Hold him down! He's breaking free! …… How is this possible! ”
Seeing this, the county commander was also panicked, and hurriedly instructed four or five officials to step forward and hold him down, but it seemed that the hearts of these officials were also condemned, and for a while, Lin Wu was constantly struggling.
Under the skin and flesh behind Lin Wu, the white bones of Sen Sen were already faintly visible, and Lin Cang, who was a father, saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
But he had no choice but to let several servants tie him with ropes and wait for the same punishment.
He is the same, he would rather die than promise to hand over the Lin family's property, which is something more important than his life.
"You're a, bold!"
A voice that made Lin Cang and Lin Wu extremely familiar sounded, causing the two of them to turn their heads in unison, and then saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.
Lin Yan, the head of the Lin family, who has been dead for several months and has missed them in their hearts, is hanging above the public hall at this moment, just through the sun, like a god descending to earth, majestic.
"Father!"
"Grandpa!"
It's all the same.
The county magistrate was so frightened that he knelt down coldly, and no one had called himself "Dog" by his nickname for decades.
In fact, he was originally a subordinate, if it weren't for the compassion of the adults in front of him, he would have starved to death and froze to death, it was Lin Yan who introduced him, and also funded his own silver, so that he could read and write, and now he is sitting on a county order.
Is it really my conscience that has been taken away by a dog? Not really.
"Villain, villain knocks on the head of the Lin family......" The county commander trembled and knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head, "I didn't expect you to have attained the Tao and become a heavenly immortal!" That's great! Worthy of your bodhisattva heart. The villain behaves like this...... Even if he was sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, it would not be an exaggeration. ”
"You still know!" Lin Wu looked at his grandfather and was ecstatic, but he still couldn't help but say.
"It's just that the villain still has a wife, sons, and daughters, all of whom are in the hands of others at the moment, I'm afraid he still has eyeliner and this, and the villain has to act according to his instructions...... I...... I'd rather go to these eighteen layers of hell than have a bright future for my son! ”
The county magistrate suddenly said an astonishing fact, which made everyone at the scene a little stunned.
"The villain's son, he really looks like me when I was young, he said that he would study hard, go to Beijing to take the exam like the young master Lin Wen of the Lin family, and be the champion!"
"The villain has made a county order, so that he doesn't have to starve, he doesn't have to be frozen, and there is a private school, the villain is already satisfied! Lord Lin is very kind, and the villain does not dare to forget! It's just that the villain really can't ......"
"You said, can he compare to Young Master Lin, can he win the champion?" The county order suddenly burst into tears, as if his acting skills had collapsed at this moment, but he just looked at Lin Yan with tears in his eyes, becoming transparent little by little.
Lin Yan's mouth opened, as if he had guessed something, and finally said with a helpless smile: "He will definitely do it, Lin Wen is already the champion of this year, I am familiar with Tiangong Wenqu Xing, don't worry." ”
The county order suddenly burst into tears and laughed, without complaint or regret.
Lin Wu's anxiousness came up and asked a question that he regretted for the rest of his life: "Who instructed you to do it?" ”
"It's the North ......"
It came to an abrupt end.
The county magistrate seems to have known the result for a long time, and he is worried about it, and he has a smile on his face at the moment.
So he still chose to answer Lin Wu's question.
