The farmer who traveled through time

Chapter 21 Public Testimony

16 years ago, Lin Tiezhu and his wife brought Lin Shuisheng and Lin Musheng back to Jin County after fleeing from other provinces.Lin Tiezhu was young and lived outside, but it was a pity that his wife and children did not save much after working hard.

The only little savings are also learning to do business and turned into nothing.Lin Tiezhu didn't want to go home in embarrassment after working hard for many years, but he expected that the weather in the place where they stayed that year was not good, and it didn't rain for several months. Not to mention a foreigner like Lin Tiezhu, there were many locals He couldn't stay any longer, and went to relatives and friends in order to survive, and fled to other places.

Lin Tiezhu and his wife also went south with this group of people, preparing to return to their hometown to survive.Day and night journeys are already difficult for normal adults, but at that time the child's mother was already eight months pregnant with a bulging stomach.

Originally, according to Lin Tiezhu's estimation, the child's mother's delivery happened to be a few days before and after they arrived in Jin County.But the hardships on the way to flee famine made the child's mother start early.If it weren't for what happened today, Lin Tiezhu would have almost forgotten how flustered he was at the time. That man was like a savior who fell from the sky and saved the lives of his wife and newborn son.

What is the origin of that person, Lin Tiezhu doesn't know, just heard her claim that his husband's family has the same surname as his, and only when she sees their pity, he will save them.

With the accommodation provided by the doctor invited by the lady, the family was able to find a place to settle down temporarily, and the child and his mother did not suffer from any problems.At that time, the lady was also carrying a baby, white and fat, with two deep dimples when she smiled, which was very pleasing.Lin Tiezhu felt unspeakably bitter when his own skinny child was put together with his wife's child.

Lin Tiezhu didn't know what happened afterwards, but after they had been together for more than ten days, the lady suddenly proposed to temporarily entrust the child to their husband and wife.Lin Tiezhu asked the reason in every possible way, but the lady's eyes were red and swollen, and she kept crying, as if there was something unspeakable.

Originally, Lin Tiezhu didn't want to agree to this matter, but the wife was kind to them in saving their lives, and she took away the 1000 taels of silver that Lin Tiezhu probably couldn't save in a few lifetimes.Under the double offensive of kindness and money, Lin Tiezhu agreed without much hesitation.The lady watched them agree and left quietly that night.

The couple originally thought that Mrs. Lin was just a temporary entrustment and would come back in person or send someone back soon.

They simply lived in the inn temporarily, waiting for the lady's return.But the cost of the inn is not a small number, not to mention the usual expenses for food and clothing, the daily accommodation alone makes the couple feel heartache.Their 1000 taels of silver looked like a lot, but they couldn't bear such a waste.

So when the child's mother got better, they hired a carriage and left from the inn, on their way back to Lin's Village.I just told the shopkeeper of the inn that if someone asked about their whereabouts, they would say that they had returned to their hometown.

"What that woman did has nothing to do with us. I beg you to let me go. I have already told you everything I know. If you want trouble, go to that woman's child, not our husband and wife." Zhang Cuilian was terrified a long time ago, and she and Lin Tiezhu told everything they knew.

"Mother's debt is paid, I see that Lin Tianci in your family is a scholar, he is different from your husband and wife, if you come here, don't go and catch Lin Tianci back to me, God-given, gifted from heaven, your husband and wife will understand Name it." The cold-faced man seemed to be persuaded by Zhang Cuilian, Zhang Cuilian had just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard the name of his lifeblood's youngest son mentioned by the cold-faced man, he screamed,

"Wrong, wrong, that debt collector is not Tianci, but Shuisheng, and Shuisheng is that woman's child, and Tianci is the youngest son of our husband and wife. It is not the damn woman's child, but Shuisheng, adults, please don't make a mistake Yes, Shuisheng is that woman's child.

If you want revenge or something, go to Shuisheng, and don't implicate Tianci.Old man, you should explain clearly to the adults that Godsend is our lifeblood, and there are grievances and debts. If there is something wrong with Godsend, do I want to live? "

Zhang Cuilian saw the suspicion in the eyes of the people opposite, and hurriedly pushed Lin Tiezhu next to him to explain the whole story clearly.Lin Tiezhu heaved a long sigh. They had raised the child of Shuisheng for so many years. Even though they were not related by blood, Lin Tiezhu still felt a little distressed when they really dragged the child out and let the child lose his life.But what can they do, this is also the life of the child Shuisheng, if he is sacrificed to save their family, it will be worth it.

"My lord, Tianci is really the child of the little old couple. The child that my lord originally gave me was not Tianci, but followed the ranking of the other children. It was named Huosheng, but this child is older. The child's mother despises the rustic name. Only then did he change his name. But Tianci is the child of the second child. If the adults don’t believe it, they can confess their relatives with a drop of blood. Naturally, the second child dare not tell lies in front of the adults. Longevity Lock and the second child are all locked in the box. When the adults found the box, they also saw the swaddling clothes and the golden lock."

Although it was difficult for Lin Tiezhu to say some things, the cold-faced man and the others knew very well what their husband and wife had planned.The portraits of Lin Shuisheng and Lin Tianci had been sent to the capital a few days ago. The cold-faced man had only seen the eldest princess a few times, but the original Zhenbei Hou Shizi had no chance to see him. But when he came, the emperor personally took the portrait of Zhenbei Hou Young's portrait was handed over to them.

Although Lin Shuisheng looks like an ordinary peasant boy at the moment, upon closer inspection, he finds that Lin Shuisheng's facial features are actually very handsome, somewhat similar to the eyebrows and eyes of Prince Zhenbeihou back then, and the two dimples who laughed , but it is exactly the same as the eldest princess.Compared with Lin Shuisheng's appearance, although Lin Tianci is dressed as a scholar and has a fair complexion, although his appearance is somewhat similar to that of the Marquis of Zhenbei, he is more similar to the Lin family.

Comparing the two, and adding the words of Lin Tiezhu and his wife, they have almost confirmed Lin Shuisheng's identity.Just in case, besides Lin Tiezhu and his wife, they also brought out the other two sons and daughter-in-law of the Lin family. They just inquired in different places. Back then, the two sons of the Lin family could almost remember things.

Lin Tiezhu and his wife may have selfish intentions, but it doesn't mean that everyone in the Lin family has all their thoughts in one place.Qin and Yang never expected that the Lin family would have such a secret, and they had never heard of it from their husbands. Apart from being panicked, they were completely stunned, not knowing what to do.

Compared with Lin Musheng, Lin Jinsheng was already seven years old at the time, and he was already sensible. He had a deep memory of the strange woman who suddenly appeared and the extra children.After getting along for so many years, Lin Jinsheng really regarded Shuisheng as his own brother, and he thought that the past incident back then had already passed away, but now someone suddenly brought up the old incident, and under this strange kidnapping situation, if he was alone, He will not betray his younger brother, but he is not alone, he has a wife and a daughter, so he can only feel sorry for this younger brother Shuisheng.

"Head, everyone's confession has been matched. The person we are looking for should be Lin Shuisheng. In addition, the swaddling baby and the longevity lock found from the neighbor's house are definitely belonging to the palace. In addition, the appearance of the woman described by Lin Tiezhu and his wife can match the nanny back then.

Head, shall we bring Lin Shuisheng back to Beijing tomorrow, the emperor and the princess are still waiting for us to take orders! "Although there were some accidents during the investigation of this matter, it went relatively smoothly. After exchanging confessions, Hei Wu and Hei Liu asked the higher-ups what they meant.

"Just in case, bring the Lin family couple, Lin Tianci, and Lin Shuisheng to Beijing tomorrow. You will have a better attitude then. We are entrusted with the emperor's life. Don't talk too much to them, but treat them with a restrained attitude. They One of them has a good chance to become our master. Although we are secret guards and only serve the emperor, we should not easily offend the emperor's relatives."

The most important thing for cold-faced people to do things is to be safe. This is a rare opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor, so they must be foolproof.

"Okay, I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow. That kid has a good life. Yesterday he was a poor boy rolling in the mud, tomorrow he will be a high-ranking relative of the emperor, and the future Marquis of Zhenbei. Comparing people to others is really pissing me off. This reincarnation is also a shame." technical work."

Hei Liu thought of the Lin Shuisheng he saw today, that young man in coarse clothes, maybe this young man never dreamed of what would happen to his life.

"Hei Liu, you're just here to talk about it. If he didn't get lost back then, he wouldn't be as good as Zhenbeihou today. I'm afraid that after we bring this kid to the capital, the capital will be very lively."

Hei Wu thought of the reason why the Marquis of Zhenbei could inherit the title, and smiled gloatingly.

"It's our turn to discuss the above matters. As long as he is the son of the eldest princess, as long as he doesn't seek death and commit treasonous things in the future, he is destined to have a bright future and leap into the dragon's gate. But these have nothing to do with us It doesn't matter, our mission this time is just to bring this kid back to the capital to meet the emperor and the eldest princess. As for the future of this kid, it has nothing to do with the Zhenbeihou Mansion."

The cold-faced man's mind recalled the first time he saw the boy. The dazzling light in the boy's eyes looking at the two acres of paddy fields may be the hope for the future.That sincere hope without any distracting thoughts is what a person like him who is half in the dark longs for and desires.
