Chapter 275: Accident

Liu Jinbao made a decision in his heart, but he didn't dare to show anything to Lin Ruhai and his wife in front of his in-laws Zhen Yingjia, but just greeted Jia Min and them with everyone.

At three o'clock, the dragon boat race was about to begin, and the nobles on the high platform stopped talking. Lin Ruhai came forward to read a memorial he wrote to Qu Yuan, and encouraged all the participants in the dragon boat race, and then announced the start of the dragon boat race.

On the wide river, more than a dozen dragon boats are lined up, each dragon boat is different, and the dragon boat team members are also wearing different styles and colors of clothes, with different colors of turbans wrapped around their heads, and holding oars in both hands to prepare for departure. At the sound of a horn, all the dragon boats moved, and the team members rowed the oars in their hands rhythmically to the sound of their team's drums. The paddles paddle and splash the white water, making the dragon boat look like it is swimming in the river. With their joint efforts, the speed of the dragon boat is getting faster and faster, and gradually more than a dozen dragon boats have also opened up the distance.

"Come on! Come on! Paddle hard! On the riverside where the crowds were buzzing, Lin Lang's voice was particularly obvious, and even Jia Min and Lin Ruhai, who were watching the game on the high platform, could hear their son's cheers. The husband and wife glanced at each other and smiled helplessly.

At this time, the dragon boats on the river have already been more than halfway through, and the people watching the dragon boat competition by the river have also focused their attention on the dragon boats on the river.

"Someone fell into the river! Hurry up and save people! ”

Hearing the shouts from the high platform, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's faces changed, their son Lin Lang was on the bank of the river under the high platform, and the two immediately got up and walked under the high platform, followed by the officials who were also frightened. As soon as he walked to the side of the high platform, he saw Lin Lang frowning and pursing his mouth, and behind him, Dalin and the four of them were escorting a man dressed as a small servant, and the five of them were all drenched.

"Father, Mother! You are in charge of the children! Wow......" When Lin Lang saw his parents, he couldn't help but throw himself into Jia Min's arms and cry. No matter how smart Lin Lang is, he is only a three-year-old child, and when he encounters such a thrilling thing just now, he is both scared and aggrieved, and Jia Min hugged him for a long time before he couldn't cry.

Lin Ruhai's face sank like water, he had already guessed a rough idea, but he still needed to ask the reason, after all, in front of so many officials, he had to spread things out clearly to people, and he also wanted to uncover the true colors of those people in front of everyone, so that their malice towards the Lin family would be exposed to everyone, he wanted to see who was so bold and dared to murder his eldest son under his nose.

"Ruhai, what's going on?" Zhen Yingjia frowned, he felt that the little guy held by the four boys was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"I was about to ask about the situation, so Uncle Zhen also came to listen! Dalin, you come! ”

"Yes! Master! Dalin clasped his fists and saluted: "The minions followed the uncle to watch the dragon boat below, this person has been standing behind the uncle just now, and the uncle is very close." When everyone was not paying attention, he wanted to push the uncle from behind, but fortunately, the uncle was clever and squatted down violently, and this person did not stand firm and went into the river. Immediately afterwards, his subordinates jumped into the river and fished him up, escorted him to the master, and waited for the master to deal with it. ”

The people on the high platform all stared at this little guy, and they all knew in their hearts that a slave would never dare to hurt people without the orders of his master. It depends on whose family is so short-sighted, and dares to murder the eldest son of the prefect of Lin and the lord of Hui on such an occasion, it is simply unknowable!

"Say it! Which slave are you, and who gave you the courage to murder the son of your own official? Lin Ruhai asked sharply.

"Minions...... The minions are wronged...... Wronged! The slave was just accidentally squeezed into the river, not to murder the Lin family uncle at all! The little guy knelt down and shouted.

"Youwang, how are you! What the hell are you doing here! "Second Master Xue had already found out that the little guy who was escorted up was his personal servant Youwang, but he didn't dare to come forward, until this time, Youwang shouted injustice again and again, and he dared to come out to recognize him.

"Lord Lin, this little guy is a personal servant, although he is lazy on weekdays, he will never do anything that hurts heaven and reason, and he doesn't dare to make a move on Uncle Lin!"

"It's hard to say, he naturally doesn't have the courage to be a minion, but someone will support him!" Liu Jinbao said.

"That's right! This matter has not been interrogated clearly, Second Master Xue is still young and impatient, you jumped out so anxiously, are you a thief? Xu Tongju also agreed.

Zhen Yingjia's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he never thought that Xue Erlang would be able to do such a stupid thing. In front of everyone, Zhen Yingjia couldn't even protect him if he wanted to, he looked away angrily and didn't look at the eyes of Second Master Xue asking for help.

"Your name is Youwang, isn't it? You don't have to quibble, there were a lot of people around you at that time, there will definitely be people who see the truth, come here, go and check the official clearly, it's best to bring witnesses, so that Second Master Xue is convinced! Lin Ruhai instructed the headcatcher beside him.

Youwang knelt there trembling all over, I don't know if he felt cold because his clothes were wet, or he was frightened by Lin Ruhai's words. After a while, the head catcher brought back three people, an old woman, a scholar and a middle-aged man.

"Lord Qiqi Lin, these three have all seen Youwang pushing Uncle Lin, and they are willing to be witnesses!"

The three of them saluted Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai asked them to tell what they saw, the three of them stood in different positions, but they all saw that Youwang's hand had been placed on Lin Lang's body, Lin Lang suddenly squatted, and Youwang plunged into the river.

"Youwang! Do you want to continue to quibble? If you confess, the official may spare your life, if not, you will die, think about your family, what will be the result after you die? Although Lin Ruhai was talking to Youwang, his eyes were staring at Second Master Xue, which made Second Master Xue feel furious, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Lord Lin spares his life! Lord Lin spares his life! There is still an elderly mother in the slave's family who needs to be taken care of by the slave, she is such a son as a slave, if the slave dies, there will be no one to support her for the elderly! ”

"Whether you can support your mother or not depends entirely on you, since the official has opened his mouth, he will never regret it, but if you dare to deceive the official, it will be a crime of one more degree. Lin Langke is not only the son of this official, but also the son of Lord Hui, do you know what kind of punishment this dynasty punishes for murdering royals? Don't talk about you, even your old mother and people can't escape death! ”
