Lin Qing went to see the patriarch early the next morning, told Lin Mingan about the attack in Xuanmiaoguan, and told the whole story about Jia Min sending people to Gusu, bluntly calling Jia Min the mastermind behind the scenes.The meaning of telling the clan is to ask for an explanation.If the clan cannot uphold justice, he will sue the government and ask the government to arrest the murderer.

When the patriarch heard it, he suddenly had a headache.Before Lin Qing came to the door, he had already heard the news from his family.After all, Xuanmiao Temple is a famous Taoist temple, such atrocities would happen at the entrance of the temple, and the people of Gusu have always been gentle, even fights among the people are rare.Even when bickering, it's all Wu Nong's soft words, and basically no swearing or cursing can be heard.So, it spread quickly. At that time, he only listened to it as gossip. Who would have thought that this was actually a scandal of the Lin family?

The patriarch cursed the Jia family severely in his heart, if Lin Ruhai was not an official of the court, and the Jia family was not a noble daughter of the state, he really wanted to exterminate his relatives righteously and use the clan rules to punish him.But he could only swallow his breath, with a little apology, squeezed out a smile, and persuaded Lin Qing not to make a big deal, people of the same clan, everything is negotiable!Besides, there is no basis for you to testify against Jia's envoy, isn't it, maybe you had a conflict with someone outside?

Clinker, Lin Qing, who is easy-going and easy-going on weekdays, doesn't buy it at all. He sneered and retorted: "I have never had any grudges with others, and I live my life in peace. Where did the enemy come from? As for the evidence, there are some."

Jia Min sent Mrs. Shi Sun to the door. He wanted to repair a book, but he was worried that he would leave a certificate.Let Lin Ruhai see it in the future, and know that he doesn't want Brother An to come back, and he will feel unhappy because of it.But Mrs. Chen didn't know Mrs. Shisun. If she came to the door in a big way, talking empty teeth, how could she believe her identity?After Jia Min thought about it, he asked Shi Sun to present a gift, including two pieces of high-quality moon shadow satin newly produced by Jiangning Weaving this year: one is green 'Chunchen', and the other is red 'Sumui satin'. ', luxurious and elegant.This kind of silk satin is used to pay tribute to the palace, and a small amount will flow to Jinling local officials as welfare, but the folks can't get it no matter how much money they spend.

At that time, when Jia Min gave Chen Shi this expensive material, she probably wanted to show her own power and status, and make Chen Shi awe and obedient, but at this time, it became a trick in his hands, I'm afraid she knew , will you regret it?

"But the Jia family can also be said to be a good gift to the tribe, so they gave it a generous gift!" The patriarch smiled wryly.

"Of course she can say that, but as long as I take it out, she can't leave it alone. Naturally, some people will wonder why she gave a gift to a commoner for no reason? There are so many people in the Lin family. When will the patriarch see who she will give it to alone? A gift? If it’s for Ange’s sake, Ange has been at my house for several years, why do I just remember it now? Don’t say she cares about Ange. I couldn’t come to ask for medicine that year. It’s not that no one knows!” Lin Qing retorted.

"It's not the same thing, can't it just be used as evidence?" the patriarch said helplessly.

"It doesn't matter. Since I have filed a complaint and this action has actually happened, the government will not accept the pleadings, right? This year happens to be the year when the court assesses the administration of officials, and there must be some good officials who will volunteer to make decisions for the people!" Lin Qing snorted coldly road.He figured it out, Lin Ruhai couldn't cover the sky with one hand in Jinling, and many people were thinking about his official position.If Jia's illegal behavior is found out, Lin Ruhai will definitely be charged with condoning the murder. If you can presume that you didn't know what your wife did, who will believe it?

As long as Lin Qing leaks this wind, many people will surely act bravely, make decisions for the people, and work hard to help collect criminal evidence.That is, Lin Ruhai's reputation and future will be ruined.

The patriarch also knew this truth, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and tried to persuade: "Qingxi, Ruhai's official position is good for our Lin family. Brother An is fine now, and the Jia family only dares to scare you. The old man will immediately revise a copy of the book and order Ruhai to give you gifts to apologize and punish the Jia family. What do you think? It is always from the same family, and the ancestors are also worshiped, so why do it so badly?"

"Patriarch, they did it first!" Lin Qing angrily expressed her disobedience.But he couldn't resist the patriarch's repeated persuasion, and finally agreed not to sue the officials.However, he made another request, that is, Lin Ruhai and his family are not allowed to make trouble for them again, and they are not allowed to spy on Brother Ang!In addition, Lin Ruhai must punish Jia Min, otherwise

The patriarch wanted to persuade him again, but Lin Qing said coldly: "Patriarch, I have already taken a step back. I also have the reputation of being a scholar, so I don't have to kneel when I see an official! I am really bullied, and there is a fourth-rank state Uncle Guan is calling the shots for me!"

The patriarch smiled wryly and sighed.Ren Lin Qing is the one who suffers, and he is not good or unfair.What's more, Lin Qing is not easy to mess with when he speaks out!The dragon has Nilin, and An Geer is Lin Qing's Nilin! Ask yourself, if it were him, he would not let things go for peace!

The patriarch cursed again in his heart for this reckless and disobedient Jia family.

Lin Qing walked out of the house with his head held high and his chest held high, and just now he asked to punish Jia Min, but he didn't dare to think so last night.Jia Min is Lin Ruhai's official wife, the daughter of the Duke, and she is pregnant with Lin Ruhai's only heir. Lin Ruhai will definitely not agree to this request.

When he went out unwillingly, he only heard that An Geer had started to work hard in the room early in the morning, and the voice of the book read loudly: "The method is the best, only the middle is the best, and the middle is the bottom!"

He stopped in his tracks. Isn't this a famous saying in "Book of Changes", An Geer actually read it all?The next moment, he suddenly realized something.Yes, that's it!

Therefore, Lin Qing's proposal to punish Jia Min today is just a superficial statement.He knew in his heart that when Jia Min was pregnant, Lin Ruhai would never stimulate her.Then, he must agree to the first request.Then, even if Lin Ruhai had other thoughts, he would not act rashly at this moment.And next month, their family will go to Shu, at this time, there can be no obstacles. , must be taken precautions.As for the future, the sky is high and the sea is wide, let the birds fly, and the car must have a way to the front of the mountain!Maybe Jia Min gave birth to a concubine, or maybe Lin Ruhai's concubine gave him a concubine. Anyway, Brother An was no longer in sight at that time. Lin Ruhai should stop thinking about it, right?

Lin Qing's family hurriedly cleaned up and prepared to leave.At this time, Lin Ruhai in Jinling received a fierce letter from the patriarch.After reading it, Lin Ruhai's hands trembled, and he slapped the table heavily angrily.In the letter, the patriarch described it in great detail, and specifically mentioned the two kinds of Moon Shadow Satin.

When Lin Ruhai saw this, he knew that what the patriarch said was probably true, otherwise Lin Qing would never have known such details.This kind of clothing was specially made by Jiangning to pay tribute to the palace. In the entire Jinling, only a few officials could get it, and he got a total of four horses, all of which were kept by Jia Min.Jia Min didn't like these two colors very much, so they didn't use them to make clothes at that time.

Could it be that Jia Min really didn't want An Ge'er to come back, so he murdered An Ge'er because of this?

Lin Ruhai didn't want to think bad about his wife who had been with him for many years.He thought for a while, and ordered his confidant housekeeper Lin Baifu to say: "You go to see your wife, and tell me that the last time we weaved the moon shadow satin sent by the yamen, a new colleague came to Yingtian Mansion, but he didn't get any. If there are any extra , Take it out and send it to others, it is also a kindness from colleagues."

Lin Baifu took the order to go, and after a while, he came back empty-handed and said: "Madam said, she has already made two pieces of that moon shadow satin into clothes, and she gave the other two pieces as favors to the members of the Jia family in Jinling. Master." If she wants to give a gift, she will ask someone to find a few bolts of soft smoke in the library, which is no worse than Moon Shadow Satin."

"Okay!" Lin Ruhai felt disheartened for a while, and sat down in the chair, covering her face with her hands.After a long time, he sighed for a long time, with a rough voice, and said to Lin Baifu who was stunned at the side: "Baifu, go and find out the matter. If it is true, you should go to Gusu immediately, and don't let your wife hear about it." A whiff of wind!"

"Yes, master!" Lin Baifu is Lin Ruhai's nanny brother, and he is very close to Lin Ruhai. Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, he feels uncomfortable, but he can't say much when it comes to the mistress, so he can only agree.

Mrs. Chen found a day with good weather, and took Lin Mingan to visit Miaoyin Temple with Madam Du. Zhao Yulan was very happy to see Lin Mingan.

Taking advantage of Lin Mingan's visit to the Buddha, Chen told Zhao Yulan what happened these days in detail.Zhao Yulan only felt terrified, and when she heard that An Geer was almost murdered, she gritted her teeth and her eyes turned red.

"So, for the sake of Brother Ang, we are going to go to Sichuan, far away from these right and wrong!" Chen sighed: "It's just that, for a long time, you won't see Brother Ang. I brought An Geer here to bid farewell to you. You must see An Geer again!"

"Madam, Brother An is the most important thing. Just take him away and don't worry about me!" Zhao Yulan sneered and said, "I will be in front of the Bodhisattva in the future, praying for you and Brother An every day. I also opened my eyes wide and watched What a good result they have in the end!"

On that day, Mrs. Chen deliberately avoided, letting Zhao Yulan spend the whole time with Lin Mingan alone.Zhao Yulan suppressed the excitement in her heart, and spent the whole day with Lin Mingan, taking him to worship Buddha, eat vegetarian food, and go for a walk in the back mountain.

It was getting late in the afternoon, and the sun was going to set if we didn't leave. Mrs. Chen asked Zhao Yulan to lead the way, and they came to Zhang Dong'er's cemetery, and offered a stick of incense for her.Let's say goodbye today, and we don't know when we will see each other again, everyone is deeply moved.Zhao Yulan recalled her daughter's voice, face and smile when she was alive, and saw Chen's holding An Ge'er's hand, calm and serene. It will remain in memory for a long time, and when you are sad and lonely, you will turn it out to reminisce and comfort.

The sun was getting lower, Chen looked at the sky, said goodbye to Zhao Yulan apologetically and then left, no matter how reluctant Zhao Yulan was, she waved goodbye to them with a sad smile.

After walking for a while, Lin Ming'an suddenly touched his body, and said to Chen Shi: "Oh, Auntie, just now the talisman that Aunt Zhao begged for me fell into the cemetery, I'll go get it."

"Brother An, let me fetch it for you, I'm worried that you will get lost!" Madam Du said.

"No need, I know the way, you can stand here and wait, don't be afraid. You and A Niang have been walking for a long time, you should take a rest!" Lin Mingan replied.

Mrs. Chen sounded reasonable, and she was indeed tired, so she told Lin Mingan to be careful, and stayed where she was with Madam Du.

Zhao Yulan watched helplessly as the figures of Lin Mingan and his party disappeared, and couldn't bear it any longer, tears streaming down her face.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw An Geer's figure, and hurriedly looked sideways.

Lin Mingan picked up an elegant peace talisman from behind the tombstone, and then looked at her quietly, with compassion, warmth, and comfort in his eyes.Zhao Yulan's lips twitched, but she didn't say anything after all.

After a while, Lin Mingan walked over to Zhao Yulan, hugged her gently, and whispered something in her ear.Then, turn around and leave.

Zhao Yulan stayed there as if struck by lightning.Suddenly, she felt sad and cried bitterly.

Just now, what An Geer whispered in her ear was: "Grandma, take care, we will meet again!"
