Li Qingyi got out of bed, tidied up her dress, shook her head and said, "There are adults here, so I naturally don't have to be afraid, but I don't know what happened to the county lord."

If the Lin family also thought about killing the county lord of Yuanheng in her previous life to make money, then she must have failed, because the county lord of Yuanheng in the previous life has lived a peaceful life in the past few years.

But after she was reborn, many things changed, and she didn't dare to take it lightly, so she let Chang Yan watch it, just in case.

Qin Zeng took his eyes off her and looked at the faint moonlight outside the window, "Chang Ze also went to Jinhua Courtyard, you can rest assured."

In Peilan Courtyard, Mother Zhao handed a small porcelain bottle to Dongling and said, "This is a poison that can kill people in an instant, put it away."

Dongling's heart was tight, the tip of his nose was sweating, he took the small porcelain bottle, and went out of the second room to the Jinhua Courtyard of the lord of Yuanheng County.

Tomorrow, the buddies in the house will come back from school to visit the old lady, and when there are more masters in the house, it will be even more difficult to succeed. And Zhao's mother inquired before, although the eldest man took leave because of the old lady's accident, but he still had official business to deal with, and he was in the study in the front yard tonight, and did not go back to the backyard, this is a good opportunity for the right time and place, and there will be no more tomorrow.

Dongling quietly walked all the way against the wall, as long as he avoided the mother-in-law who patrolled the night, there was almost no one on the road.

This is because the subordinates of the big house are very cautious under the noses of Wei Shicheng and the lord of Yuanheng on weekdays, and they don't dare to secretly gather together to eat and play cards like elsewhere after being locked at night.

Finally touched the residence of the county lord of Yuanheng.

Dongling groped her way into the courtyard from the back door that was pried open early in the morning, the light under the corridor was dim and yellow, and she couldn't shine far away, she still followed the shadows in the dark to the main house, walked to the bottom of the corridor, and quietly listened to the movement inside.

There was silence in all directions, and the county lord of Yuanheng had already rested, and he was already asleep at this time.

Dongling tiptoed, gently touched the back door, and was about to pull, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the hospital!

Her heart tightened, and she quickly withdrew her hand, squatting in the corner with weak legs.

I only heard Wei Yao's voice coming, "How is Grandmother? What did my father say?"

The mother-in-law vaguely replied a few words, and Wei Yao was very dissatisfied, "Why is everything confused? You go to your mother's house and say that I have returned, and that I have something to say to my mother."

"Yes, the slave will go and invite the county lord and the eldest young master to sit in the hall."

Dongling's breathing tightened a little, the eldest young master actually rushed back from school overnight, and he was going to see the county lord again at this time, it seems that the matter is not going to happen.

She took advantage of the fact that the county lord of Yuanheng had not yet gotten up, and hurriedly left Jinhua Courtyard the same way, lest the lights would be lit for a while, and she would definitely expose her figure.

Here, Li Qingyi got the news in an instant.

No wonder the Lin family didn't do it, it turned out that Wei Yao came back early and interrupted her plan.

Changning said, "Old Madam Wei can be regarded as unlucky, this Lin family's tricks are all used against her."

Xiang Lan snorted contemptuously, "She also deserves it, who made her vicious and want to attack her daughter-in-law, the Lin family hates her, as long as she doesn't kill people and hinder the future of the Wei family, things won't get out of control, depending on how the Lin family harms Old Lady Wei, as long as it is not discovered, the Lin family will never feel the slightest guilt."

"But Lin's plan was interrupted this time, and there is not much time left for her to raise money, she can't do it again in a short time, it's too risky and too easy to arouse suspicion."

Li Qingyi groaned, this is also what she thinks.

Although the Lin family is eager, if it arouses the suspicion of the Wei family, what can she do if she pays back the silver for the Zou family, if the Wei family can't tolerate her, she will lose everything.

With her prudence, it is indeed impossible to attack the Wei family again.

So, where should she set her goals?

Li Qingyi's heart beat like a drum.

I feel that things are getting closer and closer to my own guess.

She searched carefully through the memories of her past life.

A series of events that happened on the birthday of the old lady of the Mu family caused Qin Zeng to come into contact with the inner workings of the Mu family first, so the emperor built a nine-story building for Mu Guifei in advance, and Lin Sheng was far away

The matter of ordering the envoy to clean up the officials was also advanced, which led to Li Wenye being deceived into owing gambling debts, and the Zou family used the handle to blackmail the Lin family to raise silver taels.

It's just that Aunt Wen didn't enter the mansion so early in her previous life, so she didn't steal jewelry, probably the Lin family directly chose to take the initiative against Yuanheng County.

It just didn't work out.

So how did the Lin family get through this difficulty?

The answer is already very close, Li Qingyi clenched his hands into fists, now there is not much time left for the Lin family to raise money, and the next target of the Lin family is likely to be the second uncle and second aunt!

But she couldn't guess where Lin would start now.

Tsurunodo.

The old lady was still asleep, and there were strong peony and Yingchun close to serve, so it didn't matter how much effort the Lin family took, she was sitting outside at this time, waiting for news from Mother Zhao.

It's impossible not to be apprehensive, after all, the Zou family is so tight.

There is not much time left for her, if it can't be done this time, maybe she really chooses to kill the Zou family......

As for Lin Wenye, that is her own brother, and she is not comfortable with him having three long and two short, but who let him die by himself and drag himself down?

Lin squeezed his palms tightly.

At this moment, Zhao's mother arrived at Heyan Hall in the name of delivering soup.

Lin looked at her expectantly, but saw Mother Zhao shake her head gently.

Lin's heart was empty, and hope collapsed in an instant.

Zhao's mother helped her without a trace, and Lin came back to his senses, slowly sat down, slowly took the soup bowl, took a sip slowly, and breathed a sigh of relief before suppressing the feeling that the sky had fallen.

Mother Zhao said softly, "I just heard that the eldest young master rushed back overnight, and I may come back to see the old lady in a while."

It turned out that Wei Yao suddenly came back and interrupted the plan.

Lin put down the soup and continued to run his head.

What to do?

Do you really want to kill the Zou family?

Let's not talk about whether the Zou family will guard against her, whether she can do it, let's just say that after she dies, will her younger brother Lin Wenye force her to a dead end again because of his life?

Lin closed his eyes, only to feel dizzy.

"Ma'am." Mother Zhao knew that she was in a hurry, and whispered comfort: "There is no endless road."

Lin squeezed his hands tightly, that's right, there must be another way to go without heaven.

On the second day, not only the brothers in the house rushed back, but even the two aunts and grandmothers who married outside also came back.

The Wei Mansion was crowded with people for a while, and Li Qingyi didn't go out much, thinking about Lin's actions.

The Lin family naturally couldn't leave at this time, but the Zou family came to the door in the name of visiting Mrs. Wei.

Li Qingyi immediately cheered up.

It's just that she doesn't know what Lin and Zou sister-in-law said behind closed doors, but she only knows that when Zou left, his expression was okay.

Did these two people discuss a countermeasure?

"Girl, what are we going to do?"

"Keep an eye on the Lin family, as well as the Zou family, and Lin Wenye, I have to trouble the adults to help me keep a careful look!"

Chang Yan knew that the stakes were high, and responded cautiously.

*****

The weather is getting colder day by day, the people of all families, pickled bacon, dried fish, Li Qingyi's second uncle Li Yong took a break this day, and met with his friend Xu Minzhi.

"Over the years, the people have forgotten what war is like."

Xu Minzhi smiled, "Isn't that good? The imperial court is going to march north, and if the people are panicked, the city will be in chaos, and morale will be greatly reduced."

"Actually, the main reason is that this campaign did not urgently recruit troops from the people."

Xu Minzhi couldn't help but agree when he heard this: "Yes, as long as you serve in the military, you can reduce taxes for your family, what a gentle means, the emperor is a Ming monarch."

Because of the relationship between topography and resources, Dajing's treasury is sufficient, and as long as there is no shortage of silver, there is no need to loot the people, and the people's life is good

, there are not so many complaints, and relatives and friends who are far away in the barracks can also train with peace of mind.

This is the so-called virtuous circle.

The two of them smiled.

Xu Minzhi said: "You and my brother, there are some things I have to say, you have no quarrel, I am afraid that you will be bad at calculation."

If it had been left in the past, Li Yong would not have taken this to heart too much, but at this time, he solemnly replied: "People's hearts are complicated, the court is changeable, I will act carefully."

This made Xu Minzhi a little surprised, he nodded, "It's good if you can take it to heart, that Dong Qian, he was jealous of you in everything and wanted to compete with you in the past, but this time he suddenly opened up this wine, and he didn't know what to do."

Li Yong said: "After so many years, he is still so competitive? Anyway, today's wine is still his show, and it hasn't happened yet, so let's not think about it!"

The bridge is brightly lit, and the lanterns on the lake are swaying and reflecting the red light on the water, which is very beautiful.

Today is Dong Qian, and he has set up a medium-sized painting boat, just enough for some acquaintances to come here for a small gathering.

Li Yong doesn't often come to places such as painting boats, boats, etc., but Xu Minzhi is right, there is no harm in having a lot of contacts with his colleagues and subordinates.

What's more, because of his sudden entry into the government and the love of the emperor, everyone has more inexplicable estrangement, which makes him really integrate into this circle with some obstacles, for fear of accidentally offending him and having to endure hardships, of course, there are also people who come to slap him.

But none of this was what he wanted.

After the lights are lit, the boats gradually become lively, and the sound of dance and music is heard from time to time.

Li Yong got on the boat, and everyone was waiting for them during the banquet, but because the contact time was still short, the atmosphere in the venue was a little cold.

Seeing this, Xu Minzhi hurriedly introduced the topic, and the atmosphere became much more lively.

Li Yong smiled and nodded to Xu Minzhi in thanks.

Xu Minzhi is very familiar with everyone, "Is there anything new in our city today?"

The name of the person being questioned is Xue Zhun, and on the outside, he looks like a weak scholar who is as elegant as a scholar, but in fact he is a rough man with a broken mouth.

"What's new? Of course there is!"

Xue Zhun picked up the wine bowl and poured a sip of wine, then laughed twice and said, "Which alley do you want to hear?"
