Chapter Ninety-Seven: Heading North

Now the situation in Bianjing City is more critical, his father's whereabouts are now unknown, and there are only rumors in the imperial city that the city is broken, but there is no news about anything else. In the troubled times, Chen Su suddenly felt that it would be good if he were a man, and he would not be so passive today.

In Lin'an City, after the Lin family received the news, Lin's father and Lin An's family fled with their families and family finances. At that time, some princes and nobles in Bianjing City still wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob the Lin family, but at that time, the Jin army was menacing, and Lin's father took the initiative to give up part of his property in the city and fled. And the princes and nobles in the city were captured by the Jin army before they could collect the property abandoned by the Lin family.

"Dad, there is news from Bianjing in the north, it is said that Bianjing City is broken. Emperor Song was captured. My Great Song Dynasty was killed by a foreign race?" Lin An said in shock as he looked at the letter in his hand.

Father Lin was also frightened and at a loss when he heard the news from the north. Could it be that the Great Song Dynasty has perished? In fact, the last years of the troubled times were also very difficult for people like them in the business world, after all, there was turmoil, how could anyone spend money to buy any jewelry, and the route to the west to transport jewelry was always cut off or encountered by robbers.

"I guess so! Is the sky going to kill my Great Song?" Father Lin also said with a sigh and melancholy.

"Daddy, there's something I need to discuss with you. Lin An hesitated for a long time and finally decided to say it.

"Oh, what's the matter? After Father Lin took a sip of tea, he also looked at Lin An in front of him in surprise and asked.

"That Chen Su is the in-law between my father and me, although the child has never met her, but since she has made a marriage contract, then she is the daughter-in-law of our Lin family. Now the situation in Bianjing City is critical, and the father-in-law is a member of the third rank of the court, but the last time the child went to pick up Chen Su, he was rejected. Although the child didn't know what the reason was, in this situation, the child felt that he should go to the north to pick up his father-in-law and Chen Su. Lin An looked at his father and said.

"An'er. It's not that the Father won't let you go. For the father, he knows that you are upright and loyal, and he does not want to be said by future generations to be a person who has abandoned his hair from the beginning to the end. But now that Bianjing City is in such a dangerous situation, what can you do even if you go to Bianjing?" Father Lin shook his head and said. He can't understand his son's temperament anymore, but in this era, it's not just that you can have justice and blood, and it's normal for your property to be looted at least and to die at worst.

Now there is only one seedling in the family, and the daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door is gone, according to the current Lin family's family property, except for marrying the emperor's relatives, the rest is not a problem. It is categorically impossible for him to venture north for the sake of a Chen Su.

"Dad, the child doesn't want to be caught in infidelity and injustice. Please daddy. Lin An knelt in front of Father Lin and pleaded.

"The world has not been peaceful recently, so you should stay in Lin'an City. Father Lin knew that he would definitely be soft-hearted and let him go if he continued to entangle, so he directly rejected Lin An with a tough attitude, and then left the hall with a flick of his sleeves.

Lin An saw that his father had left, so he stood up from the ground. In his heart, he was still worried about Chen Su, who was far away in Bianjing City.

"Miss, something is wrong. News came out of the city that the Son of Heaven and the three thousand beauties, as well as the Manchu civil and military ministers, had been captured by the Jin army. The lord is also set in it. The housekeeper wiped a handful of tears and said to Chen Su.

As soon as Chen Su heard the old housekeeper's words, he was directly frightened. Daddy was captured by the Jin people, and the Son of Heaven was also captured. Great Song Dynasty, is it perished? Chen Su's heart was already flooded with turbulent waves. Suddenly, it was dark in front of me, and I fainted directly.

When Chen Su had no owner, Lin An, who was far away in Lin'an City, was quietly planning a plan to run away from home and go north to save his wife. He secretly came up with all this by himself hiding in the room, and he knew that after the showdown with his father today, he would definitely not be allowed to do so, and he would take care of him.

In the dead of night, a figure in the Lin Mansion sneaked out of the door. Lin An planned, first take the waterway, go up the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and then turn to Bianjing City, this road is much faster and safer than taking the land route, after all, the water bandits are not so rampant at this time. On the other hand, the land is full of bandits who occupy the mountains and rob the road.

When he left home, Lin An looked at his mansion, and he didn't know when he would be able to return to this place with Chen Su safely. Lin An knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in the direction of his house and said, "Dad, mother, please forgive the child for being unfilial." The child does not want to be the kind of person who is spurned by the world. After knocking, he took his baggage and left the house by night.

He first stayed at an inn in the middle of the city, near the canal. Then he planned to sail north early the next morning. Lying on the bed of the inn by the canal, he has been silently muttering in his heart: "I hope I can bring you home safely." ”

The journey was safe, but then he had to change to a carriage to go to Bianjing by land. Along the way, displaced refugees and disaster victims were fleeing to the south, and even many people who knew that he was going north thought he was crazy and advised him to turn back quickly, and Bianjing had already fallen.

Lin Anzhong was already determined to go north to find Chen Su. But said that Chen Su, since the coma, there is only one old housekeeper left around, and the rest of the maids and servants have also fled and left, after all, Bianjing has fallen, this vicinity is not far from Bianjing, if the Jin army goes south, then this place will be the first place to suffer.

"Miss, are you awake? The lord regards you as the pearl of his palm, even if the lord himself has something to do, he doesn't want you to have anything. The old butler said earnestly.

"I'm fine. Chen Su shook his head with a dull look in his eyes and said.

"Old butler, go and inquire if there is any way to get Daddy out now. Chen Su only has one idea at the moment.

The old butler left a bowl of soup and then withdrew, and this was a house left behind by a farmer who had fled. At that time, he fled here with everyone temporarily, but he didn't expect that now he and the housekeeper were left.

A few days later, when the old housekeeper came back again, he hurriedly found Chen Su and said, "Miss, I have inquired clearly." There was news from the Jin army that the officials could redeem him, but according to the lord's official position, he needed a hundred taels of gold. The lord was an honest official at the beginning, where did we get so much money in our house. ”

Chen Su first heard that there was a way to save it, and then she almost fainted when she heard the ransom, where did she go to raise so much money now. It's really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

But this is also the only way to save his father at present, so Chen Su is also racking his brains and thinking about ideas.
