Chapter 70: The Sorrow of the City Lord
Lin Xuan didn't expect Mo Jingli's request to be so simple, so he patted his chest and assured Mo Jingli: "This matter is on me, and I will bring my father to see you at this time tomorrow." ”
Mo Jingli arched his hand and said: "In this way, there will be Prince Lao Lin, when I see my father tomorrow, I will release Wu Yue, so that Master Lin can get what you want." ”
"Okay, then it's a deal, I'll take my leave first." After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he strode out of the inn.
He looked at Lin Xuan's back as he strode away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Lin Zhi is such a shrewd and spicy person, and he actually gave birth to such a waste son. ”
Lin Xuan hurriedly returned home and came to the study to see Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi was sitting in the study at this time, feeling everything that had just happened, and he was very surprised to see Lin Xuan come in, thinking that his son had changed his mind and finally understood his good intentions.
But what he didn't expect was that Lin Xuan didn't come back to admit his mistake to him, but to let himself go to see Mo Jing and get back to Wu Yue.
It turned out that in his son's heart, he was not as important as a Qinglou woman. In this way, Lin Xuan was even more angry.
Lin Xuan saw that his father did not waver at all, so he said to Lin Zhi: "Dad, can't you sacrifice for your son's happiness?" ”
His words almost didn't make Lin Zhi angry, Lin Zhi stretched out his finger tremblingly, pointed at Lin Xuan and said angrily: "You rebel, you get out of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu doesn't have your son." ”
Seeing that Lin Zhi was soft and hard, he said ruthlessly: "Dad, since you are so ruthless, then blame your son for being unfilial." ”
After speaking, Lin Xuan picked up the vase at hand and smashed it at Lin Zhi, Lin Zhi didn't expect Lin Xuan to do it to himself at all, he stayed there completely, forgot his precautions, and watched this vase smash straight towards him.
The vase smashed on Lin Zhi's forehead, and Lin Zhi shook it a few times before fainting.
"Bang!"
Lin Xuan took the unconscious Lin Zhi to see Mo Jingli.
Mo Jingli was very surprised to see Lin Zhi who was unconscious, so he turned his head and asked Lin Xuan what happened, and Lin Xuan told Mo Jingli everything about it.
He didn't expect that Lin Xuan would be so obsessed with Wu Yue that he would not hesitate to turn his face with Lin Zhi. Could it be that what Lin Zhi did had nothing to do with Lin Xuan?
Then he turned to Lin Xuan and asked, "Don't you know what Ling Zun did before?" ”
Lin Xuan shook his head suspiciously, his father usually wouldn't tell him what he did.
Mo Jingli looked at Lin Xuan's expression and was really puzzled, and Mo Jingli also knew that Lin Xuan's straw bag would definitely not hide his expression.
He told Lin Xuan everything that happened along the way, from Wu Yue being kidnapped and rescued by himself, to Wu Yue having to follow him and finally Wu Yue to become an Oiran, he found that Wu Yue secretly went to see Lin Zhi every night.
Lin Xuan listened to Mo Jing's narration along the way, his fingers creaked, his heart was angry, and he was even more resentful towards the city lord.
At this time, the city lord woke up and saw that he was in a strange room, sat up and found that Lin Xuan was sitting at the table with Mo Jingli talking, remembering what happened today, his son actually knocked himself unconscious to see Mo Jingli.
Then he got up and shouted: "Lin Xuan, you unfilial son, see that Lao Tzu won't break your leg today." ”
Lin Xuan saw that Lin Zhi was about to pounce, so he grabbed him and was about to slap him, and asked angrily: "Dad, did you arrange for Wu Yue to let him get close to Mo Jingli, is everything that happened here your masterpiece." ”
Lin Zhi knew that everything had been known to his son, and looking at his angry son, Lin Zhi didn't know how to speak.
At this time, Wu Yue appeared here.
She wanted to explain this matter to Lin Xuan, and she said to Lin Xuan, "Stop!" It's not like that, I found an excuse to follow them, this is not the intention of the city lord, please don't ignore your father for my sake. ”
But Lin Xuan didn't listen to her at all, he thought that she was threatened by the city lord, so he had to say this, heh, what a city lord.
"That's enough, you're actually helping him now, let's say, is it that he used something as a threat to make you have to say such things, with your character, it is impossible to do that kind of thing, do you really want to help him deal with me?" Lin Xuan said confidently.
Wu Yue wanted to explain clearly to Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan didn't listen to her at all, and he didn't even care about her, which made Wu Yue very sad, it was really her own idea, and it really had nothing to do with the city lord, why couldn't Lin Xuan understand her and her father?
When Mo Jingli saw this scene, he had nothing to say, and he really couldn't tell if Wu Yue was pretending or Lin Xuan was messing around, so he and Tian Yao could only watch quietly from the side.
At this time, the city lord didn't say anything, it was really inexplicable, anyway, no matter what he said now, Lin Xuan couldn't listen to it anymore, let alone believe what any of them said.
Seeing these two couples arguing here, Tian Yao couldn't stand it anymore, dragged Ah Li, and then whispered: "Brother Ah Li, stun her."
Of course, Mo Jingli knew what Tian Yao meant, and he couldn't stand it himself, the city lord was tied up now, and he couldn't do anything, Tian Yao had no power to restrain the chicken, and Lin Xuan couldn't listen to Wu Yue's words, only he could help them.
After thinking about it carefully, since when Wu Yue followed them before, under the pretext of loving Ah Li, wasn't it still good to act? It may be that the city lord threatens her, so she will help the city lord deal with Lin Xuan.
So Mo Jingli would rather believe Lin Xuan than Wu Yue, he thought that Lin Xuan was a real person, so he took advantage of Wu Yue's lack of attention and knocked her unconscious.
"Thank you." Lin Xuan said to Ah Li with a smile.
Immediately, Mo Jingli immediately took out a small bottle from his chest, which he carried with him*, it seemed that it could only last for less than an hour, but these times were enough for Lin Xuan to leave the city with Wu Yue.
Then, Mo Jingli threw the small bottle in his hand to Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan happened to catch it.
Mo Jingli looked at Lin Xuan and Wu Yue like this, and felt relieved in his heart.
"Hurry up, this medicine should be given to you, remember, don't give her this medicine indiscriminately." Ah Li said with a serious face.
Lin Xuan nodded, then hugged Wu Yue, found a horse at the door, got on the horse, took Wu Yue with him, and then left this place.
And the city lord, who is still tied up, is no different from a wasted man, seeing that his son is about to leave him, but he is powerless to stop them, so he can only let them leave, and he is defeated.
Here, there are only Tian Yao, Ah Li and the city lord.
"What the hell are you going to do with me in a bind? My son of mine is gone, and Wu Yue is gone, so what's the point of you still tying me up now? The city lord said to Ah Li, but his body still couldn't move, and he felt very twisted.
Mo Jingli turned around and saw the embarrassed appearance of the city lord, which was really a little ridiculous.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The city lord didn't know what he meant, whether he was laughing at the way he was tied up now, or a terrifying laugh, maybe something bad would happen in a while, and he didn't dare to speak.
However, Tian Yao, who was next to him, remained silent and didn't say a word, because Ah Li suddenly laughed just now, so she dragged Ah Li again, and whispered "cough" a few times.
"Brother Li, don't laugh, get down to business." Tian Yao saw that he didn't look at Mo Jingli, as if he was a little disgusted with Mo Jingli's appearance.
At this moment, Mo Jingli finally stopped and returned to the topic.
"Don't ask me that, I still want to ask you, why are you so desperate?"
The city lord looked at him and didn't speak, and after a while, he was a little frightened by his glare, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly.
Mo Jingli didn't react when he saw him, and kicked him, "City Lord, do you want to die here in vain?" Say it! ”
The city lord was a little frightened, afraid that he would do something, so he had to say:
"I did this because I didn't want you to go back and sue, at that time, it wasn't me who killed everything, but you killed all of them at that time, and my official position was difficult to protect."
At this moment, there was silence in the audience, almost everyone heard it, and the city lord's house slaves also came, and they wanted to go up to see the excitement, but as soon as they saw that it was the city lord, they immediately ran away.
In these years, there are many nosy people who go, even if the city lord wants to leave, he can't go, and those house slaves, one by one, turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear, even if they see the city lord being tied up, they don't make a sound.
At this moment, Tian Yao and Mo Jingli finally got an answer.
Tian Yao stepped forward and said, "City Lord, you have told us now, aren't you afraid that we will report to the imperial court?" I didn't expect a city lord to be so embarrassed. ”
There was also a mocking tone in this sentence, and even if the city lord felt uncomfortable, he didn't dare to say it directly.
Today he is really unlucky, his son ran away from home, and he had to be kidnapped by a group of unknown people, and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
Seeing the city lord like this, there was no need to help him, so Tian Yao went to untie the city lord.
Mo Jingli wanted to stop her, but he suddenly understood Tian Yao's intentions, so he didn't say anything.
Tian Yao took a few steps back, and the city lord scolded a big stone next to him and smashed his foot hard.
"Why should my own sons be against me? Why! The lord of the city was very angry and kept smashing down.
When he was hit to the point that he was unconscious, he said in despair:
"I have no intention of fighting with you anymore, so let's leave it at that, it's best not to see each other again, you guys go, I want to be here alone for a while."
Seeing the city lord's decadent appearance, Tian Yao and Mo Jingli finally relaxed their vigilance, and then they asked the city lord to send them away, otherwise the house slaves at the door would start fighting with them without saying a word.
After walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, Mo Jingli and Tian Yao returned to their original courtyard.
