Chapter 290: I'd rather offend a gentleman than a villain
"Su Quanlin, I'm waiting for your choice. ”
The cold words without the slightest fluctuation made the frightened Su Quanlin stunned, and looked up at Lin Zhan again, his gaze was no longer the previous resentment and mockery, only deep begging remained.
But Su Quanlin still didn't say what Lin Zhan wanted.
At Lin Zhan's signal, several Saint Yao slowly raised the rigid knives in their hands.
"Stop. ”
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came. But it wasn't Su Quanlin begging, but Lin Tianxiao on the side couldn't stand it anymore and stopped it.
For Lin Tianxiao to stop him, Lin Zhan didn't feel the slightest strangeness. In fact, if Lin Tianxiao watched coldly from the sidelines, then he would not be Lin Tianxiao.
So Lin Zhan just turned sideways slightly and looked at Lin Tianxiao calmly.
"Lord Lin, Lord Lin, help, please, save my family. I did everything alone, they have nothing to do with it, please save them. ”
Seeing Lin Tianxiao suddenly speak, Su Quanlin kept kowtowing and begging for mercy as if he was grasping the last straw.
However, Su Quanlin's kowtowing and begging for mercy actually had no effect, because Lin Tianxiao's words to stop it were not for Su Quanlin at all.
"Zhan'er, let them go. ”
Lin Tianxiao looked at Lin Zhan and said with a strong pressure on the anger in his heart.
"Why?"
Lin Tianxiao said solemnly: "They are innocent, and this matter has nothing to do with them." Our Lin family will never override their enemies, but they will never kill an innocent person indiscriminately. You have gone astray and cannot go any further. ”
Lin Tianxiao spoke out to stop it, in addition to saving those innocent people, more facts were for Lin Zhan.
In Lin Tianxiao's opinion, Lin Zhan was too paranoid, he had gone astray, and what he did was not only cold-blooded but also contrary to the way of heaven, so Lin Tianxiao couldn't let Lin Zhan go on like this.
It's a pity that Lin Zhan doesn't seem to have realized Lin Tianxiao's hard work at all.
"Innocent? Who in the world is not innocent!" Lin Strategic said mockingly: "Grandpa, if I hadn't found out that Lin Ling had an accident in time yesterday and hadn't rushed over to rescue Lin Ling in time, do you know what would have happened?
"If this really happens, grandpa, how will you face Lin Ling, how will you face the third uncle, how will you face the third aunt, and how will our entire Lin family face them?"
Lin Tianxiao was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer.
"The dignified Celestial Star Military God Family, General Lin, who has protected the entire Celestial Star Empire among countless strong enemies, was unable to protect his granddaughter, and was indifferent to seeing her being bullied. This is our General Lin, no, now it should be the honorable Lord Lin who can bring it to his family?"
"Zhan'er, you shut up. Lin Kecheng on the side opened his mouth and shouted, "How can you talk to grandpa like this?"
"Why, are you not convinced? Isn't what I said the truth?" Lin Zhan chuckled, "In that case, grandpa, I want to ask you a question?"
Lin Tianxiao said with a straight face: "You ask?"
"If Lin Ling is really bullied, what are you going to do?"
Lin Tianxiao's face changed, he didn't speak, and fell into silence.
Even Lin Tianxiao himself had to admit that he couldn't answer this question. Because the answer Lin Tianxiao gave was not what Lin Zhan wanted at all, nor what the Lin family wanted, or even what he Lin Tianxiao wanted.
"Grandpa, will you slaughter everyone in a fit of rage and make all the people who have bullied Lin Ling pay the price they deserve? Heh, grandpa, stop acting, you won't at all. ”
"As the pearl of the Lin family, why did Lin Ling encounter yesterday's crisis, why were the Ma family and the Zhang family so unscrupulous, why didn't they dare to do such a thing to others, why did Zheng Wuji watch you conflict with the Ma family with a cold eye, and I will bypass you to deal with everything. It's all because we all know that you won't. You will not go to war lightly because of a Lin Ling, let alone do something that shakes the country's foundation for the sake of a Lin Ling. When imperial interests clash with personal vendettas, you always choose the interests of the empire. ”
Lin Zhan unceremoniously tore off Lin Tianxiao's angry disguise, causing everyone to fall silent, including those Lin family members who wanted to scold Lin Zhan.
Because they all know that what Lin Zhan said is true.
"But Grandpa, is it really useful for you to do this, can you really guarantee the stability of the empire by doing this?" Lin Zhan continued, his tone even more sarcastic.
"There is no prison cell in this world for people like Ma Bukong. Ordinary people are still caught by the government for doing evil, but if a child of a family like Ma Bukong does evil, which yamen dares to ask about it? Since the yamen below dare not ask and can't ask questions, what are those who have the ability to ask questions doing? Under the pretext of keeping the empire stable, they have been indulging, but if they continue to indulge in this way, will it be good or bad for the empire?
Lin Zhan's words shocked Lin Tianxiao, and the whole thing was revealed from another angle, and what was presented in front of Lin Tianxiao was a completely different scene.
"What will happen to the empire, I don't care Lin Zhan. I want to ask Grandpa another question, even if I listen to your words this time and let these people go, will they really be grateful to you and will never be your enemy again? How is this possible, people will only know more about Grandpa's appearance on the outside and inside, and then deal with you even harder. ”
"It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, this is a wise saying for everyone. ”
Lin Tianxiao took a deep breath and said with some difficulty: "Zhan'er, these are your words, you can't kill lightly based on these alone." ”
These are my words, but they are much better than self-deception. ”
"Let's take an example in front of you. Lin Zhan said: "Let's not talk about grandpa, can you get justice for Lin Ling." In case, Lin Ling, a teenage girl who was happy and loved at the beginning of her life, was really abused and lost her virginity, what kind of pain this is for Lin Ling, do you understand, grandpa?"
Lin Tianxiao was speechless.
Lin Zhan chuckled: "Grandpa, you won't understand, because you are not a girl like Lin Ling." The so-called understanding is only a verbal reassurance. Of course, I can't understand the pain either. But it is precisely because we do not understand that we should understand the horror of this kind of suffering. Because compared to killing, one move takes people's lives, and such pain will ruin Lin Ling's life. Grandpa, are you right?"
Lin Tianxiao was silent again.
"In this case, since grandpa, you can't guarantee that you can completely protect Lin Ling, you can't completely seek justice for Lin Ling, and you can't even completely avoid Lin Ling suffering this kind of pain. So now, here, I use my methods to protect Lin Ling, who you want to protect but can't protect thoroughly, what reason do you have to stop me?"
If Lin Zhan still had a glimmer of hope for the Lin family before, then this attack on Lin Ling made Lin Zhan completely abandon the idea of joining forces with the Lin family.
Lin Ling was attacked, and Lin Zhan didn't notice it in time because Lin Yu was involved. But what about the Lin family, why did the Lin family, who was the first family of the Heavenly Star Empire, wait until Lin Zhan went to report that something happened to Lin Ling.
Is it because the Lin family is negligent at this time, or is there something else in the middle?
Lin Zhan was reluctant to delve into this question.
I have to say that Lin Zhan's idea is quite extreme and selfish, but people have to admit the rationality of this idea.
Because this is the law that must be followed to survive in this cruel world, although it is dark, it can make people survive.
Lin Zhan does not deny that there are still some good things in this world, but these are not enough to make people survive carefree in this world ruled by power.
Among ordinary people, this darkness is also blocked by the fig leaf of law. But between a family like the Lin family, everything is so naked.
