Chapter 63: The Bitter Meat Scheme

When Lin Jinwen returned to the flower hall, Lin Duan walked towards her menacingly.

Lin Jinwen stopped and looked at his gloomy face lightly, and said calmly: "If the eldest uncle is free, why don't you go to find Aunt Zhou first, although she was removed from the Lin family, she is still the eldest uncle, your biological mother, isn't it?" ”

Lin Duan's face was slightly pale, his chin was coldly tucked down, and a pair of eyes were as sharp as an eagle looking at her: "I really only thought you were an ordinary woman before, but now it seems that I underestimated you from the beginning." ”

"It's still too late to face it." Lin Jinwen looked at him lightly. He has a heart of compassion for his mother, why didn't she, from the beginning they were the ones who were attached to Sanfang's body as bloodsuckers, and now they are the ones who turn their heads and want to kill Sanfang.

Lin Duan looked at her cold eyes, and left without saying a word for a long time.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Zheng on one side also saw that she was tired, but she didn't bother to care, she only smiled: "Miss Lin, now that the matter is settled, can you take a look at my Jiaojiao?" ”

Lin Jinwen smiled at her and nodded, as if nothing had happened, and said softly: "Fortunately, when it was delivered, I have already instructed my subordinates to grab the medicine, but from now on, Miss Zheng must not be angry again, otherwise this disease will recur at any time, and my medicine can only be suppressed temporarily." "She can cure Zheng Jiaojiao's illness, but she won't treat her. She is not a fairy, just an ordinary person, if she has kindness, she must repay it, and if she has revenge, she must also repay it!

Seeing that her attitude was sincere, and she couldn't see anything abnormal, Mrs. Zheng had to believe her and said gratefully: "That's good." ”

Zheng Jiaojiao heard that she was not cured well and wanted to lose her temper, and remembered her words, so she had to take a deep breath and suppress her anger.

Lin Jincheng only received the news at this time and rushed back, dressed in dust and dust, and still smelled of alcohol.

As soon as he entered the house, he didn't care about seeing Mrs. Zheng, so he anxiously pulled Lin Jinwen: "Have they ever moved you?" How are you now? ”

"I'm fine." Lin Jinwen looked at him anxiously, smiled lightly, and then turned her head to look at Mrs. Zheng on the side: "Thanks to Mrs. Zheng's help." ”

Lin Jincheng noticed the person coming, stepped forward and saluted.

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Lin Jincheng, who was a talent, and her eyes were a little amazing, she thought that Lin Jincheng had inherited all the beauty of her mother, but she didn't expect that the son of the Lin family was still so clear.

When Zheng Jiaojiao saw Lin Jincheng behind, her heartbeat also accelerated a little, and she quietly pulled Mrs. Zheng's sleeve before saying, "Mother, Jiaojiao will live in Lin Mansion today, and I will go back tomorrow after taking medicine." ”

Mrs. Zheng was a little uneasy, after all, there were so many things in the Lin Mansion, and it was unsafe to kill people and divide the corpses: "Miss Lin still has affairs to deal with, so don't make trouble here." ”

After saying that, the girl who was buying medicine outside had already returned.

Lin Jinwen knew Mrs. Zheng's worries and alienation, so she only took the prescription and medicine to her, and then smiled lightly: "You can decoction every day." ”

"Thank you." Madame Zheng saw that she didn't have the slightest intention of using this as a favor to help herself, but she was not as distant and defensive as she was when she first came.

Seeing this, Lin Jincheng also said: "The road is dark at night, I will send someone to escort Mrs. and Miss back to the house." ”

Zheng Jiaojiao listened to his clear voice, saw that he was long and jade, his facial features were handsome and distinct, and he specially said that he wanted to send himself, could it be that he was interested in himself?

The roots of her ears were slightly red, and Mrs. Zheng naturally responded, so she took Zheng Jiaojiao away.

Lin Jincheng went out to arrange to send someone away, and Mo Xue stepped forward and said to Lin Jincheng: "Miss, why don't you let Mrs. Zheng help, after all, she is also a witness tonight, as long as she is willing to help, Zheng Lai is afraid that she will not be able to get out of the prison so easily." ”

Lin Jinwen took a deep look at the backs of several people leaving in the dark night, and the gentleness on her face had been removed, leaving only a cool alienation: "She doesn't like Zheng Lai and Zheng Ruyi, it's all personal preference." Master Zheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has been able to sit in that position for so many years, relying on his enthusiasm and sincerity, a person who is exquisite in officialdom, do you expect him to stand up and make enemies for himself? Now I don't want her to help, but I left this kindness, which may be useful in the future. ”

Mo Xue usually didn't think about this, but when she heard her say this, her heart was also clear, and she only admired her: "Miss thinks about everything." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at Aunt Min who was hiding in the corner and shivering, and asked, "What are they threatening you?" ”

When Aunt Min heard this, she hurriedly began to kowtow, and the kowtow broke her head and the bleeding did not stop.

Lin Jinwen was still a little hesitant when she slandered her before, but now she was so frightened that she couldn't say anything to beg for mercy, so she only said: "Immediately pack up your things and leave the capital with your family, if there is a next time, not only you, but your family will also be buried with you." ”

Aunt Min was stunned, raised her bloody head and looked at her with teary eyes: "Little, Miss...... "Miss didn't punish her?"

Lin Jinwen didn't like betrayers, and now she didn't even want to look at her again, so she turned around and left directly with Mo Xue.

Behind her, there was the sound of Aunt Min'er thanking her gratefully and her head slamming on the ground, Lin Jin's heart was cold, and she didn't feel it anymore.

Tonight, the wind in the Lin Mansion seemed to be mixed with the smell of burning, mixed with the smell of blood, which made people sick, and after Lin Jincheng sent Mrs. Zheng's mother and daughter back to the house, their brother and sister moved to Lin Jin's second small courtyard that night, and when they stayed, the sky was white.

As soon as the morning dawned, the merchants and vendors in the capital began to prepare for the day's business in full swing, and when the people who carried the tofu to buy passed through the most lively street, they saw the squirming and crawling people on the ground, and they were so frightened that the tofu burden was thrown on the ground, and their legs were weak, and they only kept shrinking back, shouting in a trembling voice: "Ghost...... There are ghosts ......."

The eldest sister who had just opened the door to sell dry goods on the side saw him like this, and laughed: "Where did the ghost come from in broad daylight, didn't you lose money yesterday and your woman broke your brain?" ”

The tofu vendor shook his head in horror, he could clearly see that the white man was covered in tattered abscesses, his gray hair was messy and drooping down his face, and his dry mouth was crawling in his direction with his mouth open.

When the eldest sister saw him like this, she walked out of it, followed his gaze, and when she screamed, all the people in the streets and alleys looked here.

Zhou has been crawling for a while, she wants to go back to Lin Mansion, she is going to die and pull Lin Jin's wife to die together, she looked at the vendor who collapsed on the ground, slowly crawled in his direction, and finally crawled to his feet, grabbed his ankle: "Save me, save me......" She ordered him in a hoarse voice, but she didn't see that there was a large group of people around her.

The peddler desperately wanted to kick her away, but he was so frightened that he had no strength in his hands and feet, so he could only cry and shout for help, and the people next to him looked at Zhou's wrinkled white flesh and skin, and felt even more disgusted, and picked up the rotten eggs at home and smashed them at her.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd recognized her and said in astonishment: "Isn't this the old lady Lin who had an affair with the son of the Xiong family before?" ”

"Yo, really." Some people recognized it, but said, "But I heard that I was removed from the Lin family a long time ago." ”

When the eldest sister who sold dry goods heard this, her pale face was frightened and finally recovered some blood, so she scolded; "Why are you so unruly to women's morals, you don't even wear clothes, in broad daylight, shame!"

"It's shameless."

……

A group of people turned from the initial fright to abuse, Zhou listened to this disgusted words, his brain buzzed, and he didn't care whether he was dressed or not, he half-propped himself up with the vegetable leaves, and looked at them fiercely: "You guys get out of me!" ”

When the child caught in the crowd saw that her face was rotten as if she had maggots, she immediately cried in fright.

When Zhou heard the cry, he was extremely disgusted, and roared at him out of control: "Mourning Star, Mourning Star!" You will kill me, and I will kill you! Kill you! She stretched out her hand and threw herself at the child, as if this child was Lin Jin's wife who had not yet grown up, she pressed the person to the ground and pinched his neck with her hand, and cursed while pinching: "I should have killed you a long time ago, I should have killed you a long time ago!" ”

The child was pinched by her and his face was bruised, his mother saw it on the side, and she couldn't care about it, so she picked up the tofu vendor's flat pole and hit Zhou's body, and the people next to him watched, only their eyes were full of disgust, and no one stepped forward to pull it away.

But Zhou seemed to be stunned, and she didn't let go no matter how she fought, so the woman aimed at her arm, until Shengsheng broke her arm, and then kicked Zhou away, carefully holding the child in her arms.

"Ugly old thing, you don't even wear clothes when you're old, you deserve to go to eighteen layers of hell!" The woman cursed, and the people next to her echoed.

I don't know who poured a basin of cold water next to him, and in the February day, Zhou immediately shivered, and people were a lot more sober.

Only then did she feel ashamed, looking at herself defenseless, curled up together and begging others to give her a dress to cover her shame, but no one paid attention to her except indifference and ridicule.

Not far from the alley, behind a small blue-curled carriage, the young man looked at her embarrassed ugliness and slowly let go of the vicious dog he had been hungry for two days.

Everyone was waiting to see the joke, and suddenly heard a dog barking, and hurriedly dodged away, and Zhou also turned back in horror, only to see a tall and vicious dog with black and brown fur pounced directly and began to bite.

The sores and scars on Zhou's body are rotten, and there are some rotten maggots, and the white bones can be seen.

The vicious dog bit desperately, and the people around them stared at Zhou's torn flesh and blood with wide eyes, and they all hurriedly retreated, screaming and scolding, but no one stepped forward to drive away the vicious dog.

Zhou desperately pedaled with her feet and hit with her hands, but she was not the opponent of the vicious dog at all, until she was bitten off her neck by the vicious dog in horror and pain.

Someone hurriedly reported to the official, and some people went to inform Lin Duan, but the monk who passed by couldn't see it, so he took a rag and covered the bloody and hideous scene.

Zhou didn't expect that she would die in this way, not long ago she was still beautiful, thinking about how to design a three-room family, but now she lost face, and was bitten to death by a vicious dog without an inch.

When a person dies, the vicious dog is immediately pounced on.

When the young man behind the carriage saw this, he finally turned around and prepared to leave.

"Nightborn?"

Suddenly, a female voice came, with a bit of surprise.

Xu Zhaozhao heard about what happened in the Lin Mansion last night early this morning, and wanted to go to see Lin Jinwen, but he saw him standing at the mouth of the alley halfway.

She neatly turned over from the little jujube girl, and saw that there was a little fright in his eyes, so she walked up to him in a few steps and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that I met you here." ”

Yesheng looked at her round eyes full of happiness, calmed down, and smiled: "Where is Miss Xu?" ”

"Go see Sister Jin, what about you?" She looked back and saw a circle of people pointing at something, but she wasn't interested, just turned to look at him.

"I happened to be passing by, and I had other things to do, so I took my leave." Yesheng looked at her and smiled slightly, turned to leave.

Xu Zhaozhao wanted to open his mouth to stop him, but the words were stuck in his throat again. The book says that men like reserved and gentle women, and she still comes out on horseback today, and she is wearing a black and gray narrow-sleeved gown that she usually likes.

She twisted her delicate brows, looked back at her little mare, gritted her teeth, and waited for Yesheng to disappear around the corner, and then led the horse to walk to Lin's house.

Lin Jinwen didn't sleep much last night, and she had a lot of things to deal with, and she couldn't sleep in her heart.

When she woke up early in the morning, Mo Feng hadn't come back yet, and there was no news from the sixth child, so she couldn't help but wonder what happened to Bai Lan.

When she came into the house, she saw Lin Jin'er leaning against the window with her head propped up and thinking about something, so she stepped forward and saluted with a smile, and then said, "Miss, what do you want?" ”

Lin Jinwen turned her head to look at Cai'er, and saw that she looked good, so she was relieved and said, "I'm thinking, you're not too young, what kind of family should I match you." How about the housekeeper's son? ”

When Cai'er heard this, her little face immediately turned crimson, and she looked at her shyly but boldly: "But he doesn't necessarily like me." ”

"How can you not like it, you are sick these days, he is running around asking people to ask for your news. But the housekeeper is old, and I want him to go to the Zhuangzi to help me take care of it. But there are too many Zhuangzi, I'm worried that he won't be able to manage it, so I plan to let his son go too, if you marry him, just help me keep an eye on it, how about it? Lin Jinwen said with a smile.

"But...... But the slave didn't want to leave the young lady. Cai'er gritted her teeth slightly.

Lin Jinwen smiled lightly: "When you take care of Zhuangzi, you will return to the capital." ”

"Really?"

"Nature." Lin Jinwen looked at the simple Cai'er in the end, this stupid girl died unjustly in her previous life, and she should always be allowed to live a smooth and happy life in this life.

Cai'er was full of shyness, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be wrenched: "I don't know if his father is willing or not." ”

Lin Jinwen looked at her delicate appearance, her eyes were bent, and she only ordered: "I'll ask for you, it just so happens that you have time, and you can embroider a few more handkerchiefs for me, and I won't have to use it if you leave." ”

When Cai'er heard this, she hurriedly went down.

As soon as she left, Lin Jincheng walked straight in from the outside, he was resting today, and he didn't have to be on duty.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw her smile on her face and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, why is my brother here?" She stood to the side and smiled.

Lin Jincheng looked at her recently emaciated face, a little distressed, and only smiled: "Today's public trial, the prince personally went to observe, General Zheng is afraid that he will hit the muzzle of the gun this time." ”

Zhao Huaiyan?

Lin Jinwen remembered that he was about to leave Beijing, and her heart sank slightly.

Mo Xue came in from outside and said, "Miss, Miss Cousin is here." ”

When her words fell, Xu Zhaozhao couldn't wait to come in, and as soon as she entered the house, she looked Lin Jinwen up and down, and saw that she was not broken and not injured, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay." When I heard about it this morning, I was dying. She exaggerated.

Lin Jin's wife smiled, and suddenly remembered that the emperor had intended to give Zhao Zhao to the Nine Emperors when he entered the palace before, and asked with a smile: "What about uncle?" ”

"Daddy received the summons early in the morning and went to the palace, and I heard that it was still the official who spoke to the emperor, saying that Daddy had made meritorious contributions to the treatment of the epidemic this time, and I am afraid that he would be rewarded." Xu Zhaozhao said casually, in her opinion, it is better for her father not to be an official.

When Lin Jinwen heard this, she had already guessed in her heart that her uncle would inevitably be reinstated, and eighty percent of the emperor's marriage would follow.

She looked at Xu Zhaozhao, who was still very simple, but didn't say anything, only smiled lightly: "The weather will be better in a few days, let's go out for spring." ”

"Step into spring!" She was very happy, and turned to look at her: "Then can you call the night student at that time, there is also ink wind and ink snow, and there are many people and lively." She grinned.

Lin Jinwen only wanted her, but she didn't want her, maybe she didn't even have the heart to play in a few days.

A few people were talking, and the mother-in-law who was guarding outside hurriedly came over, and when she saw that several people were there, she said worriedly: "Miss, there is someone making trouble at the door." ”

"Who?"

"The eldest lady and the second son." She glanced at Lin Jinwen in embarrassment.

Lin Jinwen was slightly surprised, how could they be released at the same time?

Lin Jincheng was also puzzled, so he only went forward with Lin Jincheng.

When I arrived outside the second gate, I heard Lin Xiteng's scolding: "Lin Jinwen, you are a femme fatale, it's not enough to kill my mother, you have to kill my grandmother!" ”

Their shouting and scolding attracted many onlookers.

Lin Jincheng immediately blackened his face, and stepped forward to look at him in a cold voice: "Second brother, what are you talking about!" Jin Wu is innocent! ”

"Innocence?" Lin Xiteng, who had lost a lot of weight, was still wearing old clothes that he hadn't had time to change into, full of the musty smell brought by the prison, he sneered and stared at Lin Jinwen behind him: "Don't think I don't know what kind of tricks you are, you seduced King Ning, let him defend you everywhere, help you, you hate our big house and you live better than the third room, so you designed to kill my mother and grandmother, Lin Jinwen, we are also your relatives, how can you be so vicious." ”

Lin Jincheng was even more annoyed, how could the woman's reputation allow him to slander like this: "Second brother, Jin Wu and King Ning are married by the emperor......"

Lin Xiteng snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know, King Ning has already had an affair with Lin Jinwen, otherwise how could he ask the emperor for marriage for no reason?" You are not a good thing, seduce Miss Zheng family, and after destroying her, you will go to harm Wang Ruyan of the Wang family, don't think I don't know what kind of goods you brothers and sisters are......"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Jinwen stepped forward in a few steps and slapped him hard: "Nonsense!" ”

Lin Xiteng was blindsided by this loud slap, and immediately gritted his teeth and raised his hand to hit Lin Jincheng, but Lin Jincheng on the side grabbed his wrist: "You dare to move her to try!" ”

Lin Xiteng frowned, and only smiled gloomily: "What, forced my mother to death, do you still want to kill me?" Well, I'll fulfill you! After saying that, he turned his head and hit the stone lion outside the door.

Lin Jincheng didn't have time to stop him, and Lin Xiteng immediately hit his head and bled out.

Lin Xiyu only appeared on the stage at this time, and knelt down beside Lin Xiteng and cried: "If you die, I won't live anymore, just let their brothers and sisters kill all my big house......"

When the people next to him saw this bloody scene, they looked at Lin Jin's brothers and sisters with a little suspicion.

Seeing this, Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help it: "It's clear that your mother forced my aunt to death and caused her to fall into the water and die, how can it be as if you were still wronged?" And your mother committed suicide, and no one forced her. ”

She walked in the front, and before she finished speaking, Lin Duan came out of the crowd at some point, and slapped her in the face, even if she knew kung fu, she was beaten back and almost didn't stand firm.

"Uncle......" Lin Jincheng quickly stepped out to support Xu Zhaozhao.

Lin Duan only had red eyes, looked at him, and knelt down.

With a pop, the knees were sturdy, and the passers-by next to him were dumbfounded.

His hair was a little messy, his eyes were red as if he had cried, and the man in his forties knelt in front of his juniors like this, and said in a choked tone: "Just when I beg you, let us go, let go of my pair of children, I beg you......" He began to kowtow constantly, as if he was really helpless, so he could only make a compromise and kneel down for his nephews and nieces.

Lin Jincheng was stunned, and was busy trying to help him, but was only grabbed by Lin Duan: "Jincheng, just beg your uncle, the eldest uncle doesn't dare to ask for anything, he doesn't want his reputation and property, you let me go of my children, they are innocent......"

"Uncle, you get up first......" Lin Jincheng could feel the pain of his wrist clutching, but he still wanted to help him up first, but Lin Duan only half stood up, suddenly grabbed his hand, pushed himself back, and the whole person directly hit the stone lion on the side, and the back of his head was bloody.

In the eyes of others, it seems that Lin Jincheng deliberately pushed people out.

"This is too much, even if the eldest lady does something wrong, you have no reason to let the elders kneel for you, and you have to knock people to death."

Finally, someone in the crowd couldn't help but scold.

Lin Jinwen looked like an old pedantic thin old man, his face was extremely angry, and he didn't look like he was pretending.

She took a few steps forward and pulled down Lin Jincheng, who was still going to help, and said to Lin Duan: "Uncle, when have we pursued you......

"Didn't pursue it? Lin Jinwen, when do you still have to pretend to be a good person? You hate my mother for not taking good care of your mother, you forced my mother to death, you hate your grandmother for being insulted and losing your face, so you let people throw her naked on the street, causing her to be bitten to death by a mad dog...... Lin Jinyu, you are really ruthless......" Lin Xiyu's voice was hoarse, as if she was really sad.

"You have no evidence, all nonsense!" Xu Zhaozhao gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Why, are you still going to kill me? Come on, I'm not afraid of death, as long as we die one day, we will be the poisonous hand of your Lin Jin's wife! Lin Xiyu shouted with tears in her neck.

"You ——!" Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but step forward, but Lin Duan knelt forward crying: "Please, let us go, I will give you whatever you and King Ning want, except for framing His Royal Highness King Jing, I will help you with everything......"

Lin Jinwen heard that something was wrong, and immediately raised her eyes to look at the crowd, at the end of the crowd was a man in black brocade, wearing a half-section mask, seeing her, her narrow eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a bit of provocative and predatory smile, this time, how could she win!

Lin Jinwen frowned slightly, looked down at Lin Duan, and only said: "The eldest uncle has to cause our brothers and sisters to be in an unkind and unrighteous place, we are soft-spoken, and we don't know how to justify, but Aunt Zhou's matter, the eldest uncle can report to the official......"

"Report to the official?" Someone in the crowd sneered: "Today, Prince Ning is sitting in the mansion." ”

The old scholar before also snorted coldly: "There is no law and discipline, it is really hateful!" ”

Lin Jincheng was in front of Lin Jincheng and looked at him coldly: "Wouldn't you be foolish and judge without knowing what happened!" ”

"You ——!" The old pedant was so angry that his beard trembled, but he couldn't say anything to refute it, only took a sip: "You are still a third-class mighty general, in my opinion, you are not worthy at all!" How can an unfilial and unrighteous person like you be worthy of being this official! ”

"Don't scold him, he is my own nephew......" Lin Duan pleaded with a pale face.

The old pedant also glanced at him dissatisfied: "A man has gold under his knees, you kneel down at every turn, you have no backbone!" ”

Lin Duan's face froze slightly, Lin Xiyu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Lin Duan to cry: "Dad, that's it, anyway, Lin Jin's temperament will not let us go, let's go and bury our grandmother's body, it's a pity that General Zheng, it was none of his business that Dr. Huang was killed in the house yesterday, but now that King Ning is in charge, I'm afraid he will also be sentenced." ”

Lin Jinwen felt that Lin Xiyu was smart for the first time, and a few words put them and Zhao Huaiyan in a dilemma, no matter what they did, they couldn't please them.

Lin Xiteng lay on one side, seeing that the situation was almost over, and only shouted loudly that it hurt.

Lin Duan turned his head to look at Lin Jinwen and prayed, "Jinwen, aren't you a doctor?" Hurry up and save your second brother, please......" He began to kneel on the ground again and kowtow.

Lin Jincheng frowned, and others also stared straight at Lin Jincheng.

Lin Jinwen twisted her eyebrows slightly, if she didn't save her today, she was afraid that she was about to confirm her statement that she wanted to kill Lin Xiteng, although she did mean this.

She stepped forward a few steps forward and raised her hand to check Lin Xiteng's pulse, but before her hand was on his pulse, he twitched all over, as if he was about to die immediately.

She wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, Lin Xiyu was already crying and pounced and pushed her to the ground: "Lin Jinwen, do you still want to kill him in public?" You are so ruthless, how come we are also the same grandfather, we are relatives, how dare you ......"

Lin Xiteng was still convulsing, looking like he was in pain.

Lin Jincheng quickly stepped forward to help Lin Jincheng up, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"I just got on his pulse and didn't do anything." Lin Jinwen quickly said to him, she understood that today's design was very thorough, and they calculated every step of her and her brother's reaction.

"You're still quibbling! Lin Jinyu, if you don't save it, you won't save it, if you want to kill us, you will kill us, just when we are blind to relatives like you......" Lin Xiyu scolded, and hurriedly let people carry Lin Xiteng away, only then looked at Lin Duan, who was kneeling on the side and weeping, and said: "Dad, forget it, they are cold-blooded people, and King Ning is blessed, we don't have to ask them!" ”

Lin Duan stood up tremblingly, as if he was getting old in an instant, and only looked at Lin Jinwen and Lin Jincheng pleadingly: "Just beg you, uncle, you will not let us go, kill me, Xiyu and Xiteng are innocent......"

"Uncle, we never thought about how we were going to ...... you"

"Don't pretend, don't think we don't know, how deep your brothers and sisters are scheming, now that the Lin family is in tatters, and the Zheng family is also harmed by you, don't cry and fake mercy!" After Lin Xiyu finished speaking, she stared at Lin Jinyu: "Thanks to you, I am already the concubine of King Jing, and I have no capital to fight with you, I just ask you to be merciful and let us go!" ”

This is said very backbonely, everyone used to think that Lin Xiyu was just a vain and brainless lady, but now looking at it, it is a little admirable, and Lin Duan and Lin Xiteng are too miserable......

After she finished speaking, she helped Lin Duan and left.

When the onlookers saw it, they also dispersed, but they had a bad feeling about Lin Jinwen and Lin Jincheng.

Lin Jincheng wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Lin Jincheng. Her face was slightly cold, and she looked at the person who left and said coldly: "No need to chase, what reaction we will make They have already calculated, continue to chase, there are traps." ”

"I never thought that the eldest uncle and the eldest sister and second brother would be ......like this," Lin Jincheng was extremely disappointed.

Xu Zhaozhao cautiously stepped forward and said, "Otherwise, I'll wait for my father to come back first and tell him about it?" ”

Lin Jinwen shook her head slightly: "For the time being, I don't have to, my uncle is afraid that he will get the grace of the saint, and he doesn't have to get involved in our trouble, and the province will make the saint unhappy." She had a hunch that this matter would continue to ferment.

Xu Zhaozhao nodded, only took her hand and said firmly: "Sister Jin, don't be afraid, Zhaozhao is here, and no one will bully you." ”

Lin Jincheng was amused by her words, looked at her little face with a firm look, and only smiled: "There are too many here, I will let someone send you back to Xu Mansion first." ”

"Hmm." Xu Zhaozhao was also afraid of causing them trouble, so he nodded obediently.

After the arranger sent Xu Zhaozhao away, Lin Jinwen's brother and sister glanced at each other and sighed slightly.

But that's not all, because Princess Duanhui has already entered the palace at this time.

Yonghe Palace.

The emperor arranged Xu Boshan's affairs, so he went straight over, looked at the new Shu brocade dress that Concubine De specially changed today, and said with a smile: "It's not yet the middle of summer, won't it be too cold to wear such a thin one." ”

Concubine De's face was slightly embarrassed, and she only smiled shyly: "It's rare for the emperor to come to the concubine a few times, and the concubine wants to look better." ”

When the emperor heard this, he only raised his hand to take her hand and smiled lightly: "It's rare that the concubine has a heart, but if you are sick, do you have to bring your illness to serve?" ”

"Yes, the concubine knows her mistake." Concubine De smiled more and more shyly, and only said, "Then the concubine will go and change her clothes." ”

"Hmm." The emperor bowed slightly, and Concubine De reluctantly got up and saluted, and went inside.

After she turned around, the gentleness in the emperor's eyes disappeared, and she only looked at the tea in the cup indifferently and took a shallow sip.

Concubine De came back after changing her clothes, and she heard a report that Princess Duanhui asked to see her.

Concubine De looked at the emperor, saw that he frowned slightly, and was slightly shocked in her heart, could it be that the emperor was surprised that he didn't love him, the only royal sister, as much as before, tentatively; "Your Majesty, Princess Duanhui and the concubine have been in office for more than ten years, and now it is rare to come back, do you want to see you again?"

The emperor thought about it, and only smiled: "Let her in." ”

"Yes." Concubine De responded and immediately asked the palace maid to invite.

After a while, Duan Hui arrived in a hurry, still wearing a green luxurious dress, embroidered with hibiscus flowers with golden-brown thread, which was very luxurious. As soon as she entered the room, she was a little surprised when she saw the emperor, and said, "Brother Huang is also here." ”

"What's the matter, you don't want me here?" The emperor only raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile, his imperial sister, who has been domineering for many years, still has not restrained himself outside, he thought it would be good to have a child and get old, but he didn't expect to be as rude and willful as he was for decades.

Duan Hui hurriedly smiled: "How can it be, but today I came to find Concubine De Niangniang to talk about an interesting incident outside, the imperial brother is here, and the courtier's sister is not easy to speak." ”

The emperor saw that her eyes deepened, and his smile faded, and he only said: "Since you are here, let's talk about it, I don't listen to your anecdotes now, and I am afraid that someone will pass it on after a while." ”

Duan Hui saw that he seemed to have guessed, and glanced at Concubine De, his face was stagnant.

Concubine De hurriedly asked her to sit down, and then said, "Since the emperor is here, you can just say it." ”

When Duan Hui heard this, she also nodded, and added fuel and vinegar to say the things that happened outside the Lin family: "When the next person went back and forth, I still didn't believe it, how could there be a niece in this world who wanted to force her brother to death, and forced her uncle to kneel, it was really clear, did she think she couldn't repay her." ”

Concubine De took the opportunity to say: "How is it possible, Miss Lin, I have seen it, although she is a little more scheming, she will not do such a thing." ”

Duan Hui glanced at the emperor, and then shook his head meaningfully: "It's just that she does this, the most important thing now is that the people are spreading that His Royal Highness King Ning connived at her like this, and last night there was a murder in the Lin Mansion, it seems that it is also related to this Lin Jinwen, but the people in the official mansion have taken away General Zheng, who has a grudge against Lin Luzhi, I heard that King Ning personally went to interrogate today, and the people think that King Ning is coming out for Lin Jin's wife, and now the people are complaining about King Ning." ”

The emperor looked at her deeply: "Is that really the case? ”

"The courtiers can still deceive the emperor." Duan Hui looked at him seriously and said: "I heard that Lin Xiteng was forced to hit his head and bleed, when Lin Jinwen gave him a pulse, he suddenly convulsed, and the strangest thing is that the Zhou family, who had a bad reputation last night, somehow appeared naked in the market, lost face, and was bitten to death by a mad dog...... "When Duan Hui talked about this, she seemed to be a little unbearable: "Even if she doesn't abide by women's morals, but this kind of death is too cruel, how vicious a person who can be so ruthless should be." She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, shook her head and sighed gently.

"Your Majesty, this kind of situation is afraid that it will affect Huaiyan's reputation. Kan Er is ruined because of his reputation, and he is still in Puji Temple, although many of your princes are also excellent, but there are not many who are as capable as Huaiyan, if the people mistakenly think that these are all connived at and instructed by him behind the scenes, I am afraid that it will be reasonable and unclear in the future. Concubine De said softly to the emperor.

The emperor doesn't care about anything else, but he still cares about this son, Concubine De is right, Zhao Huaiyan is indeed the most prominent of the many princes, but regardless of whether these things are really related to Lin Jinwen, at least Duan Hui and Concubine De said this together, it was premeditated.

He glanced at Concubine De lightly and said, "What you said is right, Huaiyan is a good boy, Kan Er has been in Puji Temple for so long, and he can come back." ”

He didn't continue to say what to do with Lin Jinwen, Duan Hui gritted his teeth slightly, and said directly: "Then Brother Huang, how to deal with Lin Jinwen?" After all, even if these things are not done by her, they are caused by her, the Lin family has had so many turmoil recently, and she will marry Huaiyan in a few months, if she continues to connive, I am afraid that the royal reputation will also be hindered......"

"You're concerned about the royal reputation." The Emperor gave her a cold look.

Concubine De had already seen that the emperor didn't want to deal with Lin Jinwen very much, but it was impossible for him to have no mustard in his heart, so he was busy trying to stop Duan Hui, but saw Duan Hui and said smugly: "The courtiers naturally take care of the royal reputation. ”

"Then why don't you have more children for the pony? I just heard that the colt has been seriously ill recently, and instead of cooking at home, you have so much leisure to take care of other things. "The emperor didn't have a good airway.

Duan Hui saw that he was angry, he was slightly stunned, and hurriedly got up and saluted: "Brother Huang, sister ......"

"Alright." The emperor didn't want to look at her anymore: "For so many years, you have also made trouble, go back to your husband and children." Back then, I gave you to him because he was an honest and talented person, and I didn't want him to hate me for making such a decision in the end! ”

Duan Hui stood in place in embarrassment, her face was a little blushing, but she only gritted her teeth secretly.

Seeing this, Concubine De smiled hurriedly; "Your Majesty, the princess just wanted to talk to her concubines, but she didn't think that you were also ......"

"Then I'm superfluous with you?" The emperor snorted lightly, stood up directly, didn't look at her, and walked out directly: "Drive back to the palace!" ”

Concubine De got up and wanted to chase, but when she saw that the emperor had already left, she sat on the couch with a slightly white face.

Duanhui's eyes were slightly red, but he hated Lin Jinwen more and more; "I never thought that the imperial brother would let her go!"

"No, it won't." Although Concubine De regretted that she had upset the emperor again, she also knew the emperor well, so many suspicious people, how could he turn a blind eye to such a bloody thing happened in the Lin family.

Concubine De guessed correctly, the emperor returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and immediately asked people to summon Zhao Huaiyan into the palace.

After hesitating for a long time, he still instructed the person next to him: "Spread my word, since Lin Jinwen is about to marry King Ning as a concubine, she is still in the filial piety period, so let her go to Changle Nunnery to practice for three months and pray for Dajin!" ”

When the centimeter next to him heard this, he was a little worried: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ning likes this Miss Lin very much, will you hurt His Highness's heart if you do this?" ”

"He is a man, how can he indulge in the private affairs of his children? If that's the case, then I won't be able to keep this girl. After that, he said coldly: "Two days ago, I allowed Yuan Luyi, the county lord of the king of Pingxi, to go to the southwest, spread my edict, canonized Lin Jincheng as the general of the second grade Weiyuan, escorted the county lord of Yuan to the southwest together, and returned to the capital after the war was settled." ”

"Your Majesty......" The father-in-law hesitated a little, and said timidly: "General Lin has been demoted to a commoner, and so many things have happened in the Lin family......

"It is precisely because so many things have happened in the Lin family that they have to be transferred out earlier, and the province cannot extricate themselves from these things." The emperor twisted his eyebrows and said, then looked at him: "Are you my slave or the slave of the Lin Mansion?" ”

Father-in-law Chang didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly bowed and went down to deliver the decree.

After Duan Hui left Yonghe Palace, he was waiting outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, and when he saw Chang Gonggong hurriedly walking out, he knew that the emperor must have an edict.

However, she guessed that Lin Jinwen also had a premonition.

As soon as Lin Duan left, she immediately rushed to the mansion.

Zhao Huaiyan didn't come specifically for last night's incident, and several recent corruption and bribery cases were related to Zheng Lai, so he came.

When he heard that Lin Jinwen was looking for him, he immediately got up and went to my side yard.

Gao Yu, who accompanied him, quickly told him what happened at the door of Lin's house, and he directly darkened his face: "People who dare to calculate this king, Lin Duan is getting more and more bold." ”

Gao Yu frowned, seeing that his pace was faster, before he said: "And His Royal Highness King Jing entered Beijing last night, I'm afraid this matter has something to do with him." ”

Zhao Huaiyan's footsteps paused slightly, and his phoenix eyes were full of coldness: "His firearms arsenal is built in Yuzhou?" ”

"Well, I heard that it cost millions of taels of silver to build, and a firearms warehouse has been built, which can produce tens of thousands of firearms in a month. Lord, why don't we think of taking it for ourselves......"

"It's burning."

"Huh?" Gao Yu understood, but he was distressed, millions of taels of silver.

"According to his habits, there must be dead soldiers around the firearms storehouse, you personally lead the troops to exterminate them, and the prefect of Yuzhou covers the establishment of the firearms storehouse, and arrests and raids the house." Zhao Huaiyan said in a cold voice, and then walked away.

Gao Yu's heart hurt even more, those dead soldiers are not easy to clean up, but if they are destroyed, presumably King Jing will also have a pain for a long time. There is also the prefect of Yuzhou, but he is a big family, if he disposes of it, he is afraid that the looted Wanguan family wealth can only be filled into the treasury......

He looked up at the back of Zhao Huaiyan's resolute departure, and knew that he was really annoyed this time, so he had to hold back the pain in his heart and go to give the order.

Zhao Huaiyan walked quickly to the side courtyard of the mansion, and saw a person standing in the courtyard in a rouge robe, and the wind blew the green silk hanging behind her, like a painting.

Lin Jinwen also noticed that someone was coming behind her, and as soon as she turned her head to see him standing still behind him, she smiled lightly: "Lord Wang......"

"Hmm." Zhao Huaiyan saw her smile sweetly, his heart was half crisp, and the emotion on his face did not move at all, he took a few steps forward and walked in front of her, took her into his arms, and only asked softly: "Frightened?" ”

Lin Jinwen was stunned at first, and then heard the powerful heartbeat in his chest, and said, "I came here to ask the prince for a favor." ”

"What's the busy?"

"I want to enter the palace and meet the emperor." Lin Jin's eyes bent, Lin Duan's father and son thought that they would take the lead as soon as they came up with a bitter plan, so she wouldn't let them have a good time. Since they have to say that they are going to kill them, then they will die!
