The Emperor was reading the recital in the imperial study, and it was not until someone came in and lit a candle that he realized that it was already dark.

"Hasn't King Ning entered the palace yet?"

"I've already entered the palace, and I'm on my way here, but Your Majesty, the prince seems to have brought Miss Lin with him." The father-in-law bowed to the side and replied.

The emperor's gaze also paused slightly, and then he continued to look down, and said as he looked: "Go down and wait, and then summon in when the people come." ”

"Yes." The father-in-law responded, and then retreated.

The emperor looked at the music in his hand, which was handed over by Xu Boshan in the afternoon, and expressed his feelings for his sister Xu Huiniang's vain death. After reading it, his face showed a little coolness, and he put down the piece tiredly and leaned back, muttering to himself: "What a Lin Duan, what a concubine De......"

Lin Jinwen followed Zhao Huaiyan and walked in the palace, the night was dark, red lanterns were lit everywhere under the corridor, and occasionally eunuchs carrying lanterns on patrol passed by, and they would stop to salute, she subconsciously, as if she had seen her previous life, she was still the lord of the harem. When she thought about it, she hated it.

Bypassing the palace in front of her, and behind her was the Heart Cultivation Palace, she gritted her teeth slightly to endure the discomfort in her heart, but she didn't notice that Zhao Huaiyan, who was walking in front, slowed down his pace: "Worried? ”

Lin Jinwen heard his low voice and shook her head slightly: "The emperor is the king of the Holy Ming, I am not worried." ”

"That's remembering the past." Zhao Huaiyan's tone was still calm and quiet, without a trace of waves, which calmed Lin Jin's impetuous heart a lot.

She raised her eyes and looked ahead, and the wind in the palace seemed to be shackles, making people uncomfortable.

She didn't speak, so she acquiesced.

Zhao Huaiyan turned his face sideways to look at her gloomy appearance, naturally held her hand in the palm of his hand, did not speak, and continued to move forward.

Lin Jinwen was slightly stunned, looking at him without shying away from this palace, she couldn't help but say: "Lord, this is ......"

"Well, that's okay." He grabbed her cold little hand and walked slowly. With me here, don't be afraid.

Lin Jinwen seemed to have a warm flow in her heart, and most of her boredom was gone.

She let him lead her forward, and he never let go of the occasional palace man passing by. The wide sleeved robe hung down, and no one could see it, but Lin Jinwen was always a little shy when she met people, and it wasn't until she arrived at the door of the Heart Cultivation Hall that Zhao Huaiyan finally let go of her hand.

He quietly looked at her crimson face and moist eyes, and the light of the red lantern fell on her long rouge dress, and the golden steps swayed slightly, as if to call for pity.

"What is the prince looking at?" Lin Jinwen noticed his gaze, and the roots of her ears were slightly hot.

"I'm thinking, on our wedding night, you should also be in a red dress, very shy." Zhao Huaiyan looked at the white neck that was exposed when she looked up at herself, and the placket of the collar on her chest was slightly open, hooking people to explore the scenery inside. She is getting older, and her figure is getting better and better, and her chest is very impressive.

Lin Jinwen saw that his eyes fell on his chest, the roots of his ears became hotter, and he glared at him with slightly pursed lips: "Lord Wang!" ”

Zhao Huaiyan saw that she was embarrassed, her phoenix eyes were dyed with a smile, and she looked away like a gentleman, and stood in front of the palace gate with a negative hand, waiting for the summons inside.

After a while, the father-in-law came out and saluted the two with a smile: "The emperor is still looking at the excerpts, the prince should go in first." ”

Zhao Huaiyan saw that it was not the emperor's close attendant Chang Gonggong who came out to deliver the message, and asked, "What about Chang Gonggong?" ”

"Father-in-law Chang obeyed the emperor's orders and went out to deliver the decree." After speaking, he also glanced at Lin Jinwen in surprise: "Miss Lin came directly from the Lin Mansion, have you ever met Grandpa Chang?" ”

"Never." When Lin Jinwen heard this, she knew that the emperor had probably heard about the outside world, and she had also punished her.

Zhao Huaiyan's face was slightly cold, and he said lightly: "Let's go in first." ”

My father-in-law hurriedly asked someone to go in on the side.

When the emperor heard the sound outside, he slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Lin Jinwen following behind Zhao Huaiyan, he seemed to see her mother, with the same slender demeanor, but her mother was like a weak willow supporting the wind, but she was a little heroic.

Zhao Huaiyan stepped forward to salute and said, "I don't know what happened when my father summoned his sons into the palace?" ”

The emperor ignored him first, but looked at Lin Jinwen: "Miss Lin, you came to see me on purpose, why did you come to see me?" ”

"The courtiers are here to ask the emperor for their guilt." Lin Jinwen stepped forward and lowered her eyes to speak.

"Please?" The emperor glanced at her and laughed, but the candlelight was too dim for Lin Jinwen to see what he meant by laughing.

She lowered her eyes slightly, it should be: "Because of the negligence of the courtiers, all the gossip was counted on King Ning, if the courtiers let the truth of their mother's death be buried, the courtiers' aunt would not commit suicide because of guilt, and Aunt Zhou would not have run away from home because of guilt and died tragically on the streets." "The eldest lady and Aunt Zhou are dead and have no proof, even if the emperor sends someone to investigate, they will definitely not be able to find her.

When the emperor heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he squinted his eyes and looked at her coldly: "I have also heard of your mother's death, but today your eldest uncle knelt down to you, and your second brother was forced by you to almost touch the pillar and die, but?" ”

Lin Jin's eyes were slightly red, and her tone was a little choked: "It's really a courtier's will, you shouldn't have beaten her backhand when the second brother insulted her deceased mother, this made him feel that he had lost face and wanted to commit suicide." Lin Jinwen did not shirk that this matter had nothing to do with herself, since the emperor was able to let people pass on the decree, it showed that he had already made a judgment in his heart, and eighty percent thought that he really forced his elders to kneel...... The emperor values filial piety, and if he believes it, he will never allow people to refute it.

When the emperor heard this, his face really changed slightly.

"What about Lin Duan? He is in his forties, and he will not kneel down to you for no reason. If you weren't cornered, I'm afraid you wouldn't use this method. ”

"Please Emperor Mingjian, the courtiers are here, it is precisely because of the eldest uncle's kneeling. The eldest uncle mistakenly thought that the second brother committed suicide because he was forced by his courtiers, so he was eager to save his son, otherwise how could he kneel for me and my brother? My brother and I stood at the gate, it was impossible to beat him, and it was impossible to scold him. Lin Jinwen's tone was choked, and her whole body trembled slightly when she stood with her eyes down.

The emperor was also a little hesitant when he saw her nervously holding her handkerchief and hanging her head and not daring to look directly at herself, but he was already suspicious. Lin Duan is not unaware, he is also quite smart in doing things, but he is by no means a timid person, a dignified man runs to kneel, if it is not a last resort, he is deliberately pretending.

"What about Huaiyan, what are you doing in the official mansion?" The Emperor asked, turning his head.

Zhao Huaiyan stepped forward and said: "Erchen found out that a corruption case in Yuzhou was implicated with Zheng Lai last night, so he didn't have time to report to his father, so he went to inquire in person, but he never thought that he was rumored to be deliberately conniving at Miss Lin. ”

The emperor trusts Zhao Huaiyan relatively well, and even if he wants to favor Lin Jinwen, he will not go over in person.

He suddenly had a feeling that he had been fooled, whether it was Concubine Duanhui, or Lin Duan, and Lin Jinwen who was standing in front of him now!

His eyes sank slightly, looked at the teenage woman in front of him with low eyebrows, and asked a little indifferently, "Then what do you want me to do with this matter?" ”

When Lin Jinwen heard such a tone, she knew that she had angered him, but the emperor was suspicious by nature, he was angry, and he would not only be angry with himself.

She saluted and said: "The courtiers are stupid, I don't know how to make up for the prejudice of the eldest uncle's family against the courtiers, today the eldest sister said that because of the courtiers, His Royal Highness King Jing divorced her, so the courtiers implore the emperor to let the eldest sister go back to the Jingwang Mansion again, maybe she will not hate the courtiers so much in the future." She made only the most trivial request, so that in the eyes of the emperor, she did not appear to have come with a purpose.

The emperor's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he stared at her coldly: "Since you said that you are here to ask for sin, then I will also punish you?" After all, these things are all caused by you, and as for whether you did it, I will naturally hand it over to Jingzhao Mansion to investigate. ”

"Please ask the emperor to surrender, the courtiers dare not complain." Lin Jinwen became more and more respectful, her body trembled slightly, but she did not have half a word of begging for mercy.

Zhao Huaiyan didn't plead loudly, he knew the emperor, the more he pleaded, the more ruthless he would be punished.

The emperor stared at the two of them for a long time, and finally withdrew Sen Han's gaze, and only said lightly: "In this case, you will live in Changle Nunnery for three days and pray for the blessing of my Jin Dynasty." ”

Lin Jinwen's clenched palms finally let go, and she nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty." "It's just that she went to the temple to chant for three days, just so that she can avoid the eyes and ears of the capital so that she can do other things. And this punishment must be lighter than the holy decree passed by the father-in-law before.

"Well, step aside." The emperor rubbed his brows a little tiredly.

Lin Jinwen and Zhao Huaiyan glanced at each other, and saw him bowing slightly, so they retreated.

A little eunuch sent her all the way to the palace gate, and when she was about to get into the carriage, she stopped and smiled: "Thanks to you coming here today." ”

Lin Jin's eyebrows raised slightly, knowing that he was Zhao Huaiyan's person, she turned around and smiled lightly: "Emperor Shengming, if the matter is clear to him, he can naturally tell the difference." ”

"When the slave came, I saw that the emperor had drawn up a holy decree again, and it would be transmitted to the Lin Mansion early in the morning, so go back quickly. With the king in everything, you don't have to worry. The little eunuch saw that she didn't have a condescending posture even if she talked to herself, and she had a little good impression, so she said a few more words.

Lin Jinwen glanced at Mo Xue, Mo Xue took out a silver ingot and sent it to his palm, and then thanked him, and then several people turned around and got into the carriage.

The carriage ran straight in the direction of the Lin Mansion, and Lin Jinwen knew that someone must be staring at her, and she should not act rashly.

Mo Xue also sat in the carriage and said, "Miss, that father-in-law Chang has gone to the Lin Mansion to deliver an edict, let you go to Changle Nunnery to think for three months, and the prince will escort the county lord Yuan to the southwest, and he will not return until the war subsides." ”

When Lin Jinwen heard this, she breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned back relaxedly: "The emperor only asked me to go to the nunnery to pray for blessings for three days today, and I didn't say anything about it." "If you think about it, even if the emperor also thinks that she has done those things, she can't refute it when she wants to, as for my brother, the emperor should have other arrangements after tonight.

When she returned to Lin's house, Xu Boshan came over early in the morning and pulled Lin Jincheng to talk in the flower hall.

When Xu Zhaozhao saw her coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Jinwu, have you entered the palace?" What did the emperor say? ”

"I'll give another decree tomorrow morning." Lin Jinwen saw Xu Boshan who was full of worry, and stepped forward with a little guilt to salute: "Uncle." ”

"Hurry up." Xu Boshan hurriedly helped her up, and said distressedly: "I didn't expect that Lin Duan's family would be such a shameless villain and use such a method to bully your brothers and sisters." ”

Lin Jinwen saw that he was never angry in front of him, and his face was full of anger at this time, so he only smiled lightly: "Uncle doesn't have to pay attention to them, Jinwen believes that evil will be rewarded." ”

When Xu Boshan saw her attitude, his anger also disappeared, and he smiled helplessly: "You are good-natured, but don't worry, your uncle will definitely not let them bully you again." ”

"Hmm." Lin Jinwen bent her eyes and nodded, looking at her brother and uncle who looked at her gently, she was not afraid of Lin Duan's family at all, they were looking for death by themselves, how could she not be perfect?

It was easy to comfort Xu Boshan and Xu Zhaozhao to go back, and then he looked at the tired Lin Jincheng and said, "Brother don't worry, have a good rest tonight, maybe tomorrow the emperor's holy decree comes, and my brother doesn't have to go to the southwest." ”

Lin Jincheng looked at her and shook her head with a smile: "These things should have been done by me, but I still want your daughter's family to stand in the way, it's useless for my brother." ”

"Who let my brother not have someone who can take you into the palace?" Lin Jincheng blinked, Lin Jincheng looked at her like this, laughed out loud, and the troubles on her face dissipated.

The brother and sister talked for a while, and they all went back to the yard, but after returning to the yard, Lin Jinwen didn't sleep.

Mo Feng finally came back, he was injured, he stood in the flower hall and waited for her, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly greeted her, and said, "Miss, Bai Lan behind King Jing's Mansion is a trap, Bai Lan has already been taken away." ”

Lin Jinwen twisted her eyebrows slightly and looked at her: "How are you?" ”

"The slave is fine, it's just that Miss Bailan ......"

"Don't worry, Zhao Kan has already returned to the capital, and Bacheng wants to use Bai Lan to blackmail me into something, Bai Lan won't have an accident so soon." Seeing that the wounds on her arms and face had not yet been cleaned, she only said, "You go down to rest first, tomorrow we will go up the mountain, and we will have to do more things then." ”

Mo Feng also heard about today's incident and nodded slightly.

Lin Jinwen turned around and walked inside, and when she arrived at the bookcase, she turned out all the medical books, found several books and began to look through them page by page, she remembered that there was a very evil prescription, and she thought that she would never use it before, but now she can give it a try.

After looking for a long time, I finally found it, and then I immediately asked Mo Xue to go out carefully to buy medicine.

The weather was still sunny during the day, and then there was a sudden spring thunder. After a gust of wind, the rain poured down.

The sixth child stood at the back corner door of the Lin Mansion and knocked on the door, and the mother-in-law guarding the door hurriedly pulled it away, and when she saw that it was him, she hurriedly said, "Miss is waiting." ”

The sixth man bowed slightly, got on the hand-copying verandah on the left, and walked forward quickly.

Lin Jinwen stood at the door and looked at the earth-shattering thunder outside, and the plan in her heart was already brewing.

When the sixth man walked over quickly, he saw the person standing by the door, and under the warm yellow candlelight, she was like a fairy in the night, shining.

The night breeze fell on his face with a light rain, and he suddenly came back to his senses, tidied up his ink-colored robe, and stepped forward in a few steps: "Why is Miss here, it's humid in spring, be careful of catching a cold." ”

"Do you think God will help me?" The corners of Lin Jin's mouth were hooked, and she raised her eyes to look at the thunder and lightning in the sky.

The sixth child was puzzled, but he was also interested: "What does Miss want to do?" ”

Lin Jinwen turned her head to look at him, and her evil spirit was undiminished: "Today, everyone says that I treat my elders harshly, but no one says that the Zhou family deserves it, and that Lin Duan's family is unreasonable." I'll see what they say tomorrow! ”

Seeing her looking at herself with sly eyes, her dark eyes seemed to be about to suck someone in, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes: "I think Miss has a plan." ”

"It's just that you've had a hard time running tonight."

The sixth child raised his eyes to look at her, and saw that her lips were smiling, and the corners of her mouth were raised.

At this time, Lin Mansion.

Zhou's body has been collected and placed in the side hall, because it is an aunt, and her name has been removed, so she will not stop for too long, and she will be buried tomorrow.

The people in the house were kneeling on the ground and burning paper money, and suddenly the wind blew outside, and the lightning and thunder roared, which frightened several people.

"Aunt Zhou died so miserably, how terrifying would it be if the ghost came back?" One of the timid girls said.

The others had seen Zhou's corpse, and when they thought of that scene, they all shook their heads in embarrassment, with a little horror on their faces.

One of the mothers-in-law said: "None of the old man and Miss Gongzi have come to fulfill their filial piety, and if Aunt Zhou wants to come back, she won't look for us people......"

As soon as she finished speaking, the wind outside suddenly blew the unclosed gate, and the wind suddenly rolled up the paper money on the ground, and I don't know who shouted, 'Aunt Zhou is back!' Frightened, several people were scattered, and they didn't care about continuing to burn paper, so they hurriedly ran out in a panic.

As soon as the outsiders left, a man dressed in ink clothes quietly walked in, looked at the coffin that had not yet been nailed, stepped forward to lift the coffin lid, saw the body that had been covered with a white cloth inside, pulled out a slender and long iron nail in his sleeve, and a smile was hooked at the corner of his mouth.

Early in the morning of the second day, it was the day of Zhou's funeral, and Lin Duan's father and son played the role of filial sons and grandsons, so they naturally had to personally support the coffin for the funeral today.

Lin Xiteng's head was indeed broken, but it was not serious, after he asked people to wrap the gauze, he only pretended to be weak and walked over, seeing Lin Duanzheng frowning, then he stepped forward and said, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

"Last night, Lin Jinwen actually entered the palace to meet the emperor." Lin Duan frowned and said in a low voice.

"But didn't the emperor already decree her to think about it last night?" Lin Xiteng was puzzled.

Lin Duan shook his head slightly: "Where is it so easy, there is still King Ning." As soon as he finished speaking, a little servant came over and said, "Master, everything is ready, and the coffin can be distributed." ”

Lin Duan looked at the sky today, there were dense black clouds in the sky, and the heavy rain was still pouring down, and the thunder continued.

He frowned, bowed slightly, and looked at Lin Xiteng and Lin Xiyu on the side: "Anyway, this time it's a start, and it's easy to do it in the future, and the third room must be removed!" After that, he personally walked in the front and went out with the coffin.

Outsiders saw him leading the rain to the forefront, and they all praised him as a filial son.

On the long street, there are not a few people who come to see him, a filial son, as if they can forget how they ridiculed Zhou for fornicating with men a few days ago.

The most angry person in this matter is Xiong Shilin, he was relieved after hearing that Zhou was dead, but now that the conversation has changed, he is actually pitying Zhou's old prank, how can he bear it? Anyway, there are not a few days to live, and his father will not be able to get out of the prison if he is arrested, so it is better to arrest a few more people than to die of infamy alone.

His cat was in the corner of the alley, staring coldly at the funeral procession in the distance, and snorted softly.

On the second floor of the tavern, not far from here, the window of the private room facing the street has a crack, just enough to see the situation here.

The sixth child stood on the side, looked at her and said, "Miss, everything is done according to your orders." ”

"Hmm." Lin Jinwen stood lightly wrapped in a black cloak, it was not easy for people to find Xiong Shilin, but if he was going to die, he should do her a favor.

She looked at Mo Xue standing not far behind Xiong Shilin and nodded slightly.

Mo Xue received the signal and gestured to her, then walked behind Xiong Shilin and said in a low voice: "Want revenge? ”

Xiong Shilin turned his head in surprise, looked at the woman with the veil, and was busy trying to cover his face with something.

Seeing this, Mo Xue only said lightly: "People who have a ruined reputation like you, but now they have been treated so favorably by people, you are about to rot on the streets, and you may have to be thrown to a mass grave to be eaten by wild dogs, are you willing?" ”

"Who are you?" Xiong Shilin's face was ten times more rotten than Aunt Zhou's, and the left eyeball was already covered with scars and couldn't open it, he was a monster now, he knew it very well.

"Someone who helped you."

"Take advantage of me, don't think I don't know." Xiong Shilin sneered lightly: "But even if you say it, I won't live for a few days anyway, that stinky and shameless old woman still wants to be beautiful when she dies, how can I fulfill her?" After saying that, he coughed violently, coughing so much that he couldn't straighten his waist.

Mo Xue gave him a packet of medicinal powder: "You can sprinkle this medicinal powder on people's wounds." ”

Xiong Shilin held on to the wall and coughed for a long time, a lightning bolt suddenly flashed in the gray sky, and the rain crackled down on him, and what flowed from him was a stream of scarlet water.

He looked at Mo Xue after coughing, and Yin Yu sneered: "You also hate the Lin family?" He knew that Lin Xiteng and Lin Duan had collided with their heads yesterday.

Mo Xue knew his character, and he would not easily agree to help her, so he only took out a jade pendant with an impure texture but a unique style from his sleeve: "Your maid Li'er is already pregnant for a month, you help me today, I can keep your bloodline behind, otherwise, you and your unborn child will die." Mo Xue put the medicine in his hand and turned away: "Time is running out, you think about it yourself." ”

Xiong Shilin listened to the sound of gongs and drums getting closer and closer behind him, and the whole person was stunned. Pear, the girl ring he forcibly dragged into the house? How could he still have children?

He looked down at the medicine bag in his hand, and then at his already rotten and trembling hands, clenched them tightly, gritted his teeth and rushed out into the street.

Lin Duanben was still red-eyed before he pretended to wipe his tears, but suddenly saw someone rushing in, and immediately stopped.

He thought that Lin Jinwen would definitely secretly send someone to stir things up, and when the time came, he would just catch Lin Jinwen's evidence again, but he never thought that it would be Xiong Shilin.

Xiong Shilin looked at his surprised appearance and laughed sarcastically: "Your mother is dead, and your father can't survive, or you will bury our husband and wife together today?" ”

"Bastard......" Lin Duan's face turned blue with anger.

"Bastard? Your mother is shameless and does not abide by women's morals, and if she dies, she should be thrown into a mass grave, you are good, you are still a filial son and grandson of a bitch, and you also held a funeral for her with great fanfare, Lin Duan, you are really your mother's own son, the same shameless! Xiong Shilin wiped the rain from his face and sneered coldly.

Lin Duan was so angry that he had a headache, but he only went to use the bitter meat trick yesterday, and he couldn't be too strong today, so he only said to the little guy on the side: "Send Xiong Gongzi back." ”

The little guy responded, and stepped forward to drag Xiong Shilin away, but he didn't expect that there would be thunder and lightning one after another.

Lin Xiteng asked people to hide aside with an umbrella, and impatiently muttered to Lin Xiyu on the side: "Why isn't this Xiong Shilin ......dead?"

Before the words fell, the lightning slashed directly from the sky, directly hitting the coffin, and the person carrying the coffin was knocked away immediately before he had time to run, but the coffin was burned, and the body fell to the ground in black.

The people around them were frightened and retreated.

When Xiong Shilin saw this, he was also stunned, and then laughed: "See, such a person who does not abide by women's morals deserves to be thundered and struck every day!" Lin Duan, you are shameless, be careful that you are also hacked to death! ”

The little guys didn't dare to pull him anymore, Lin Duan was also hit by the broken coffin board, and fell to the ground for a long time out of breath, until someone came to help, he barely breathed a sigh of relief, only looked at the coffin that was split apart on the ground, and then looked at the charred corpse on the ground, his mouth was open, and his throat couldn't squeeze out a sound.

Xiong Shilin carefully wiped the medicine powder on his hand slowly, looked at Lin Duan, who was half sitting on the ground in a daze, stepped forward and grabbed his neck, and his hand also wiped the scar on the back of his head, but before he could wipe it, he was dragged away and thrown to the ground by the little guy in the Lin Mansion.

He laughed: "Lin Duan, you will be the next to die!" You don't know shame, you deserve it! ”

Others were still saying that he was a filial son, and when they saw the scene of thunder and thunder, they all shut up.

Lin Xiteng saw that everything was in vain, gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at Xiong Shilin, who was still shouting, and stepped forward and kicked him, kicking him half a step, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Xiong Shilin is not a bold person, but he must know that he will definitely die, and there is a maid who is pregnant with his child, so he gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Xiteng with a trembling body: "You have the ability to kill me, your grandmother seduced me that night with wide clothes and untied clothes, I heard that you also have such a hobby, and you especially like old women......"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiteng didn't want an umbrella, picked up a piece of wood on the ground and smashed it down on Xiong Shilin's head, and there was a long nail on the wooden block, which pierced into Xiong Shilin's eyes like this, and the others who watched gasped, and some of the timid ones fainted immediately.

Xiong Shilin was crazy in pain, clutching the last bit of medicinal powder, and when Lin Xiteng got closer, he sprinkled the medicinal powder on his face, and Lin Xiteng's board also hit him in the neck, and he fainted to death.

Lin Xiyu hurriedly ran over and pulled Lin Xiteng, frowned, and said, "Do you want to beat someone to death and go to prison again?" ”

When Lin Xiteng heard this, he kicked him again, and then looked at Lin Duan, who was being helped up, and asked, "Dad, what should I do?" ”

Lin Duan looked at the corpse on the ground, then at the fearful and disdainful gazes of the people around him, and gritted his teeth slightly: "Put the corpse away and burn it." ”

"Dad, but this is grandmother......" Lin Xiyu was a little unbearable.

Lin Duan glanced at her coldly, with a little embarrassment and gritted teeth: "You dare to disobey God's will?" After speaking, Liang Liang looked at Xiong Shilin, who had fainted, and thought that Ben and Lin Jinwen couldn't get along, so he frowned and hurried towards the Lin Mansion.

Lin Xiteng's brother and sister looked at the questioning eyes around them, and they didn't want to stay long, so they could only unwillingly lower their heads and hurriedly followed, and they didn't have the heartbreak and filial piety that came out before they came.

After reading it on the second floor, Lin Jinwen turned around and left indifferently.

Mo Xue followed to the side and asked in a low voice, "Miss, what should Xiong Shilin do?" ”

"He can't live today, and when he dies, find a place for him to be buried in peace." She paused, then glanced at Mo Xue; "He spoiled many more women than you think, although Li'er was pregnant with his child, she also contracted flower willow disease, the child can't be kept, you use medicine to keep people."

Mo Xue sighed in her heart and only nodded.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no intention of stopping, and the carriage drove quickly, splashing on the road, but it could not hide the fact that everyone saw the thunder and thunder in the sky today. From ancient times to the present, those who can be struck by thunder from the sky are all evildoers, and everyone thinks so.

Xiong Shilin did not completely faint, and only after the surroundings were quiet did he barely open his eyes, but he had no strength to stand up.

He remembered that Li'er had her own child in her belly, and began to crawl slowly towards the bear's house, but when he climbed, a piece of flesh on his body seemed to have been peeled off. The pedestrians on the street had long since taken shelter from the rain, and even if anyone saw it, no one came out to help him, after all, he was infected with willow disease.

One of his eyes kept bleeding, but he didn't seem to feel it, he just wanted to go back and tell Li'er that he gave birth to his son, so that he could also leave incense, and it was not in vain that he came to this world, but it didn't take long for him to run out of strength, and the rain was about to wash his blood dry......

He looked in the direction of Xiongfu and stretched out his hand, but his eyes no longer had strength, and he closed heavily, completely lifeless.

The carriage got closer and closer, and as it passed by him, it only frightened the horses.

The people in the carriage coldly lifted the curtain and glanced at the people on the ground, then lowered the curtain again and said to the coachman: "Don't delay, hurry up." ”

"Yes." The coachman should get off and hurry up.

The carriage stopped in front of the Lin family not long after, and the little maid at the door saw that it was still Chang Gonggong, who came to deliver the decree yesterday, and hurriedly went to greet him.

Father-in-law Chang changed his previous indifference, got out of the carriage with a smile, and said: "It's still your master who is blessed, and the emperor is worried about it, so he specially asked the Sprinkle family to pass on the decree." ”

"Kilometers away, please, the young lady is here today." The mother-in-law hurriedly welcomed people in.

Lin Jincheng was waiting in the flower hall early, and Lin Jincheng changed her clothes, a long skirt with a waist pinched with white embroidered peach blossoms, a pair of delicate embroidered shoes of the same color, and a water-red cloak wrapped outside, the whole person looked more elegant and dignified.

Lin Jincheng saw that her hair was stained with rain, and raised his hand to dry her sleeve for her, before he said, "If you walk carelessly, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Lin Jinwen didn't pay attention to this, and only bent her eyes into crescents: "Not next time." ”

When Father-in-law Chang came, he happened to see their brother and sister talking, so he only stepped forward and smiled: "Miss Lin and Lin Gongzi have a really good relationship." ”

"My father-in-law is here." Lin Jincheng has always been polite to others, and when he saw him, he only smiled gently.

Father-in-law Chang has lived for such a long time, he has seen all kinds of people, and when he saw Lin Jincheng, he knew what kind of person he was, and he spoke more comfortably, so he only said: "The emperor asked the servants to pass on the decree." ”

Lin Jincheng pulled Lin Jinwen to kneel down to accept the order.

Father-in-law Chang looked at Lin Jinwen on the side, demure as a flower shining on the water, acting like the wind supporting the willows, such a picturesque beauty, King Ning is obsessed, it is not unreasonable.

He opened the holy decree, and then said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict, Lin Jincheng, the son of the Lin family, from today, will be promoted to the second-class Weiyuan general, escort the county lord of Yuan to the southwest, and return to Beijing to take up his post; Lin Jin's daughter, elegant and graceful, because she still has filial piety, she was ordered to fast and pray for three days in Changle Nunnery, to prepare for the wedding, and also pray for my Dajin, Qin this! ”

When Lin Jinwen heard this holy decree, the stone in her heart was relieved. The elder brother only needs to escort Lord Yuan to the southwest, and he only needs to go to Changle Nunnery for three days, and the words used are all praise, and there is no intention of punishment.

She glanced at Lin Jincheng, and they both got up with a smile and accepted the order.

Father-in-law Chang looked at Lin Jincheng and smiled lightly: "Young General, he was appointed as a second-class general at a young age, which is a skill that Master Lin didn't have back then." ”

"The lower officials are shallow in their studies, thanks to the emperor's love, and after the father-in-law returns to the palace, he must thank the emperor on behalf of the lower officials." Lin Jincheng smiled respectfully.

Father-in-law Chang glanced at him with satisfaction, the young man became famous, not only was he proud and arrogant, but he was modest and reasonable, and he had a good heart, which was really rare, and the relationship between Lin Fu and King Ning was close, so he naturally had a little more intimacy.

only specially instructed: "This time to the southwest, the young general must be careful." The southwest is treacherous, and there are bandits on the road. ”

Lin Jinwen saw that he had something to say, and said with a light smile: "Thank you father-in-law for reminding us, we have never been to the southwest, and we don't know where the bandits and factions on the road are, so we should be prepared." ”

Seeing that she was smart, Father-in-law Chang only whispered: "I heard that these bandits are not afraid of officers and soldiers, and there are many of them, and the Sprinkle family doesn't know about them." ”

Lin Jincheng's eyes flashed slightly, who else could there be who was not afraid of the officers and soldiers, wasn't it the officers and soldiers themselves.

"Thank you father-in-law for your advice." Lin Jincheng solemnly bowed.

Father-in-law Chang didn't say anything more, bowed and left.

Lin Jincheng looked at Lin Jinwen and said, "It seems that there are many twists and turns in this trip, and my father can't come back for the time being, Jinwen, you go to Xu's house to live first." ”

"Well, that's exactly what I mean. However, the decree has been made, so I will go to Choraku-an in a while, and I will move there when I return. Lin Jinwen herself is not afraid, she is more worried about Lin Jincheng. Now that the emperor has promoted him to a second-class general, Zhao Kan will definitely not let him go.

Lin Jincheng sighed slightly, looked outside, paused, and said, "I'll send you up the mountain first." ”

Lin Jinwen couldn't see his sorrow, and only smiled: "The emperor's holy decree has just been issued, and no one dares to do it at this time." Lord Yuan is afraid that he will leave in these two days, so my brother might as well go and see Ru Yan. "Because of Wang Huiyuan's relationship, the Wang family suddenly became estranged from them, Wang Ruyan was also locked up in the house and not allowed to come out, if my brother doesn't see each other at this time, I'm afraid it will take a long time to see each other.

Lin Jincheng thought for a while, but still nodded: "I'll let my relatives escort you over." ”

"Brother, go quickly, it's not good for me to get married, my brother is still alone. Ru Yan is simple and sincere, and she is very compatible with her brother. Lin Jinwen looked at him with a light smile.

Lin Jincheng's eyes showed a touch of joy, nodded, and couldn't wait to go out.

As soon as he left, Lin Jinwen exhaled a little and glanced at Mo Xue on the side: "Are you ready?" ”

Mo Xue bowed: "It's all ready, the carriage will go around the capital twice, and then go out through the West City Gate, and then meet at the inn at the West City Gate." ”

"Okay." Lin Jin's head bowed, and then she returned to the courtyard, and after a while, a person of the same height as her walked out of it, and Cai'er was supporting her on one side.

At the corner outside the Lin family, someone stared straight at the person who was helped out from inside, wearing a veil hat, holding the hand of the personal maid and slowly getting into the carriage, and went straight out of the city.

Mo Xue stood inside the door, watching the figure disappear around the corner, and then hurried back.

In the room, Lin Jinwen had already changed into an ink-style dress, and her face was yellowed with fat powder, if she didn't look up, ordinary people wouldn't pay too much attention to it.

"Miss, it's gone." Mo Xue came back.

"Hmm." Lin Jinwen responded, and then slowly turned around and walked out.

Lin Duan's father and son returned to the Lin Mansion, and Lin Xiyu immediately went to find Zhao Kan, these things were his ideas, and now that something happened, he naturally wanted to go to him.

Lin Duan and Lin Xiteng sat in the flower hall, their faces gloomy.

As soon as Lin Xiteng thought of Xiong Shilin, who was making trouble, he was so angry that he wanted to strangle him to death, but for some reason, when he was angry, he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath and head pain, but he couldn't hold back his anger.

He looked at Lin Duan and said with a little annoyance: "Dad, what should I do now, it was originally smooth, but I never thought that the thunder of the heavens would actually hit my grandmother's coffin today, and that Xiong Shilin was unreasonable to make trouble...... "The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and his face turned slightly pale.

Lin Duan also felt uncomfortable, glanced at him and said coldly: "Let's not talk about these things first, this thunder today, I'm just afraid that someone will make a fuss, I'll go out, you are so good to stay at home, don't go anywhere for the time being." With that, he walked away directly.

Lin Xiteng was very annoyed, but he had no other way but to go back to his yard with a sullen breath.

The little guy next to him saw him come back, and immediately said the emperor's new holy decree, Lin Xiteng listened to it, and his heart was full of pain: "It turned from three months to three days, and he said that he was virtuous and virtuous, and that Lin Jincheng ......"

He slammed his fist on the table in annoyance, so frightened that the maids immediately did not dare to come out.

The little guy stepped forward and said, "Childe, what should we do?" ”

"What to do? What else can I do, can I still go to trouble with the emperor? Lin Xiteng was annoyed, his head hurt so much, and he was still wondering how he could be like this suddenly.

As he was talking, the porter ran to say that there was something urgent to report.

"What's the urgency?" Lin Xi pointed out that he didn't have a good airway.

The concierge handed him a post tremblingly, and said, "I just sent it from Drunken Hualou, saying that it must be handed over to you." ”

"Drunken Flower Building?" Lin Xiteng muttered, when Zheng Yecheng was still in the past, the two often went there to mingle, not only beauties, but also connected to the gambling hall, and the news at this time made him a little surprised.

He took the post and opened it, his eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth were hooked: "The old bustard still remembers me, a newcomer is here, and he knows to notify me." ”

The little servant said on the side: "Childe, the master said, you can't go out these days......"

Lin Xiteng didn't want to go, but when he heard this, he was not happy; "Master can go wherever he likes, it's your turn?"

"But ......"

"Okay, nonsense, Ye just came out of prison, and he should be happy." As soon as he thought of this series of bad luck, he was upset, threw the post to the side, and went straight out.

In the green curtain carriage outside the Lin Mansion, the sixth child sat in the same carriage with Lin Jinwen for the first time, he pretended to look outside the carriage, but the rest of the eyes fell on her. deliberately diluted his facial features, and his appearance did lose a lot of points, but the calm and cunning aura on his body was not missing at all.

Just thinking about it, Mo Xue suddenly said, "It's here." ”

Lin Jinwen saw Lin Xiteng swaggering into the carriage through the carriage curtain, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked: "Keep up." ”

"Yes." The sixth answered, and as soon as Lin Xiteng's carriage left, they immediately followed.

Drunken Flower House is in the prosperous area of the capital, several flower buildings are connected with the gambling hall to open a street, the big day gambling hall is lively, and the flower building is lively at night.

As soon as Lin Xiteng arrived at the old place, many acquaintances knew him, so he naturally wanted to go to the gambling house first.

The gambling hall was mixed, and when they saw him coming, they all glanced at each other, and stepped forward and said affectionately: "Master Lin is here, let's have a game?" If you win, you should be happy, and if you lose, you should be moldy. ”

"I like what you say." Lin Xiteng was upset, and no one sarcastically mocked him when he saw him, but he still held him, and he was proud to go to the gambling table.

The guard at the door of the gambling hall looked back and smiled, turned his head and continued to guard the door, and saw a blue-curtained carriage stopped.

Lin Jinwen glanced at the sixth child, and then said: "Go find a person named Zhou Sheng on the second floor, give him these fifty taels, and let him gamble with Lin Xiteng." Lin Jinwen gave the sixth child a wooden box full of silver to him.

The sixth child held the heavy box and paused: "Miss also knows Zhou Sheng?" "Zhou Sheng is a well-known gambler here, he cooks three meals a day, and it is rare to go out once a month, but this person has average gambling luck and a bad temper.

Lin Jin's wife, of course Zhou Sheng remembered that in her previous life, she lost a lot of money because of gambling with Lin Xiteng, and she was so angry that she beat Lin Xinteng. And now Lin Xiteng is the most unangry.

The sixth nodded, and then went inside.

Zhou Sheng is not difficult to find, a person like him who is addicted to gambling is also in a trance, and he is in a daze all day long, waiting for the day when he gambles to death.

When the sixth man came, he didn't even see the sixth child's face clearly, and only the box of silver he brought over in his eyes was in his eyes.

"Bet with Lin Xiteng, if you win, I'll give it all to you, if you lose, I'll break one of your arms." The sixth man stood in the shadows and looked at him.

Zhou Sheng couldn't see his face clearly, but immediately nodded: "One arm for fifty taels, it's worth it!" After that, I was afraid that the sixth child would not agree, so I hurriedly hugged the silver and went downstairs.

There were already a lot of people at the gambling table, Lin Xiteng was very happy to win a few handfuls, and when he saw Zhou Shenglai, he was still holding that lot of silver, and he didn't take it seriously, even if he started the game.

The sixth man stood on the second floor and watched, and as expected, Zhou Sheng quickly lost more than half of it.

Lao Liu pulled the gambler who was passing by and gave him five taels of silver: "Go down and tell that table, Lin Xi vacates Lao Qian." He saw it clearly on the second floor, but this seems to be the rule here, no one dared to mess with Lin Xiteng in the past, but now it is different, the ugly things of the Lin family have long made the people here not take him seriously.

The man shook the money in his hand, smiled, and went straight down.

Zhou Sheng was about to lose, and at this time, the man walked down, grabbed Lin Xiteng's arm and said, "He is a good man!" ”

"What!" The people around him were shocked, and then angry.

Zhou Sheng didn't wait for Lin Xiteng to argue, and smashed his fist into his face, which immediately hit his nose and covered his painful head.

It was easy for him to stand firm, and then he said angrily to everyone: "You guys are crazy! ”

"Crazy? Lin Gongzi, we are a gambling house here, you actually came to cheat money, it is not too much to kill you today! The person who had kind words to him before suddenly turned his face, everyone likes to beat the water dog, and now Lin Xiteng is the water dog.

Lin Xiteng rushed up angrily, but his heart became more and more stuffy, as if he was about to explode, and his head hurt.

Zhou Sheng is a violent temper, thinking that he was almost deceived and lost an arm and lost the fifty taels, he immediately knocked the thin Lin Xiteng to the ground with a fist, and others also followed you and punched me and beat me.

"What else is Lin Gongzi, I'm a shameless scumbag!" Someone scolded.

The others immediately laughed: "If you say this, you are not afraid of being struck by lightning like his grandmother......"

Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and Zhou Sheng kicked him a few more times, until someone saw that his face was pale and he was afraid of causing death, so he was thrown out.

His little servants usually came with him, and they all went to the nearby tavern to wait first, and then came to pick him up at sunset, so he was thrown out at this time, and he was the only one.

He was thrown at the door of the gambling hall full of rain, and the people inside spat him with disdain: "Don't think that you are still a noble son of the capital, as far as your father's virtue is concerned, at best, he is a horse washer." ”

The group laughed again, and then turned and left.

Lin Xiteng was so angry that he clenched his fists fiercely, but the more angry he was, the more his head hurt, and the stronger the feeling that his heart was about to burst.

When the girls in the flower building opposite saw it, they all covered their mouths and chuckled.

Lin Xiteng gritted his teeth, thinking about the invitation before, planning to crawl to find the old bustard first, and then come back to take revenge, but he climbed forward for a while, and a green curtain carriage stopped beside him, and the curtain of the carriage was slightly opened.

"Save Me ......"

"Save? Didn't the second brother want to die? Lin Jinwen smiled faintly.

When Lin Xiteng heard that it was her voice, he was furious: "This is what you arranged?" ”

The corners of Lin Jin's mouth were faintly hooked: "Yes, since you said that I want to kill you, then I naturally have to satisfy your conjecture." If you want to die so much, go for it. ”

Lin Xiteng grabbed the wheels of the carriage and looked at her through gritted teeth: "Lin Jinwen, I'll kill you......"

"Then you try, how can you kill me like a waste." Lin Jinwen slowly stimulated him, the more angry he was, the more uncomfortable he became, the more uncomfortable he was, the more he wanted to retaliate, and then he would die of pain.

Mo Xue glanced at him sideways, and directly whipped the horse, and the horse ran forward, directly rolling Lin Xiteng's hand and passed.

"Ah——!h

Lin Xiteng screamed, looking at the carriage that was floating away like this, the ridicule that seemed to be still in his ears, and the beatings of Fang Cai, seemed to converge into a sharp sword and rushed straight into his heart.

"Lin Jinwen, I'll kill you......" His face slowly turned from white to green, until the pain in his heart completely robbed him of his consciousness, and he finally fell to the ground with his eyes in the eyes, bleeding from his seven orifices, and lost his life.

Everyone didn't take him seriously, and after laughing at him, they went about their own business, and no one knew that he was really dead.

At this time, King Jing's mansion.

Zhao Kan had already returned to King Jing's Mansion after receiving the holy decree, but he was not very happy.

looked at the little guy who replied at the bottom and said that Lin Jinwen had already set off for Changle Nunnery, and then remembered the holy decree that Father-in-law Chang had just come to preach.

Lin Xiyu was very kind, with a little shyness, because when Chang Gonggong came to deliver the decree, she happened to be there.

She looked at Zhao Kan at the top, and said with a shy smile: "Don't worry, since the emperor has let Xiyu stay by your side as a side concubine, Xiyu will definitely not act recklessly in the future, and will definitely serve you well." ”

Zhao Kan's face sank and ignored her.

As he was talking, Lin Duan also came.

Lin Duan's complexion was not very good, and as soon as he entered the house and saluted, he saw that Zhao Kan also had a bad complexion, and immediately knelt down to apologize: "Lord Wang, it is not good for Weichen to do things......"

"You're still a little self-aware." Zhao Kan glanced at Lin Xiyu coldly, and then said: "That's it, the thunder left and right is a natural disaster, and Xiong Shilin is also dead, but the thunder in the sky is not a good thing in the end, you go back and ask the master to do a good job, and also seal the mouths of outsiders." ”

"Yes." Lin Duan hurriedly bowed his head before looking at him again: "Then Lord Wang, what should we do next?" ”

Zhao Kan snorted lightly: "What should I do, do you think Lin Jincheng will be able to come back when he goes out this time?" Without Lin Jincheng, what else can Lin Luzhi, a person who has no half of the rights, do? And he definitely can't stand the pain of losing his son. As for Zhao Huaiyan, he will leave soon......" Zhao Kan thought of this, and the corners of his mouth were hooked.

Lin Duan twisted his eyebrows slightly and didn't say much.

Just thinking about it, the little guy next to Lin Xiteng suddenly came outside.

The little guy stumbled in, and when he saw Lin Duan, he immediately knelt down with weak legs: "Master, son, he ......"

"What's wrong with Childe?" Lin Duan immediately stood up.

The little guy stammered for a long time before he dared to say: "Childe, he ...... He's dead. ”

"What?" Lin Xiyu was so shocked that she almost jumped up, but Lin Duan only felt a dull pain in her heart, and then fell backwards, unconscious.

Zhao Kan looked at this scene, his face became colder and colder, and the people from the palace outside also walked in, whispered a few words in his ear, and his face became dark all of a sudden.

Lin Jinwen had already arrived at the inn at this time, glanced at Mo Feng, and said, "You stay with Yesheng, and wait for my orders at any time." ”

Mo Feng was a little uneasy: "Mohua suddenly has no news, I'm afraid that something has happened, the slave and maid will follow you, there is still Mo Yue in the capital." ”

When Lin Jinwen heard this, she wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, but it was not early, and she had to leave Beijing immediately: "Wait for me here tonight, I will come over." "After all, the account is still over!
