The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 71 The eldest lady will not marry ([-])

The first question is: Who dares to speak of wealth?
In late June, Yichuan Tobacco is full of wind and rain, and plums are yellow and rainy.

In the city of Jinling, at the residence of the Minister of Household Affairs.

The study of Lin Zhengxian, Minister of the Household Department, was tightly closed, and there were two people standing in the room.

On a three-foot-long desk, there are the four treasures of the study, a document with red handprints, and a small white porcelain bottle with a small piece of red silk plugged into the mouth.

"Mr. Lin, it's getting late. It's time for you to hit the road." Another person warned.

Lin Zhengxian, Minister of the Household Department, was in his forties. He had a refined face and was wearing an official robe from the imperial court.

After hearing what the visitor said, his eyes turned red, he looked at the small porcelain bottle on the table, and asked in a trembling voice, "Really, does it have to be like this?"

The visitor narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and uncorked the bottle of crane-top red for him, and forced the bottle into Mr. Lin's hand.

"Hold on, Mr. Lin. The lives of your family are all in your hands!"

Lin Zhengxian held the bottle of poison in his hand, and his whole hand trembled more and more.

He never imagined that his meddling in this crony dispute between the court and China would cause such a catastrophe for his family!

A few days ago, someone in the Ministry of Household Affairs was reported to have emptied the treasury and enriched his own pockets. When the Holy Emperor learned about this, Long Yan was furious and ordered someone to investigate the matter thoroughly and search for the whereabouts of the dirty silver.

In fact, who is not greedy among the nobles and nobles in the whole court?

Where did the short-lived money in the household department go? Didn't they all fill the mouths of these people?

Why is it that he, a truly innocent person, is being blamed now?
Once something happens in the officialdom, someone must take the blame.

The person in front of him was the person sent by our side to urge him to take the blame and go on the road.

In order to prevent the Holy Majesty from knowing how corrupt the courtiers under him have become, and in order to prevent him, the Minister of the Household Department, from saying anything that should not be said, the purpose of this person coming here is to ask Lin First write down a confession, and then commit suicide by taking poison.

Because at the moment, he can only save the lives of his family and children by pleading guilty and committing suicide.

Otherwise, now that the enemy is strong and our own is weak, once he falls into the hands of the enemy and his own sacrifice is small, I am afraid that the enemy will list countless charges against his family and even drag countless people into the water!
This is partisanship. If you make a mistake once you make a mistake, you will die!

However, although Lin Zhengxian understood this truth in his heart, his hand holding the poison bottle still stopped by his mouth after all.

Everyone in the world is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Even those people who said they didn't want to die really put a knife on his neck, cut off with a knife and saw the flesh and bones, who would not be afraid?
The visitor cannot do it himself.

Seeing that Lin Zhengxian's expression was still hesitant, he was afraid that the latter would repent, so he immediately lowered his face and said, "Master Lin, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your wife and daughter? Your wife is graceful and luxurious, and you love your daughter." Rumor has it that Lin Shu was even more beautiful, if because of you being implicated, these two people were sent to the bishop's workshop as prostitutes, then..."

"Stop it! Stop it!"

The boy does not cry easily.

But at this moment, a few tears finally fell from Lin Zhengxian's eyes.

He clenched the poison bottle tightly in his hand, and asked again, "Is it true that as long as I die, the family will be harmed, and who will surely keep my wife, daughter and family safe?"

"Naturally! This time it was just a report by a traitor, which put me in a disadvantageous position. When the matter is over, the one above will naturally try to find a way to win it back!"

After hearing these words, Lin Zhengxian finally raised his head and drank the poison in the bottle.

But after a while, he was bleeding from all seven orifices, and he sat slumped on the chair behind him.

At the last moment before he died, infinite things and thoughts suddenly flooded his mind, and he only felt that his life had been in a daze and in a trance.In this trance, he thought of the crony disputes in the court again, and an evil thought rose in his heart uncontrollably.

Fight!Just keep fighting like this!Fight until the country is completely destroyed!

At that time, there will be a vast expanse of whiteness between the sky and the earth, so clean!

Seeing Lin Zhengxian sitting on the chair with his eyes completely closed, someone came up to him and checked his breath to make sure that the latter had passed away.

At this time, he checked the "confession" on Master Lin's desk again, and couldn't help but nodded, everything was complete.

After a while, he suddenly showed an extremely flustered expression, and then hastily pushed open the door of the study, shouting while running, "The big thing is wrong! Mr. Lin, he committed suicide! Mr. Lin, he committed suicide in fear of crime!"

Within half a day, the news that Lin Zhengxian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, had confessed to committing suicide spread throughout Jinling City.

After hearing this, many people gathered in front of the House of the Minister of the Household Department, pointing to the house of this high-ranking family, whispering in twos and threes, discussing Lin Zhengxian's confession of committing suicide.

"Shangshu Hubu! Such a big official died as soon as he said he would die! What happened?"

"I heard that the Ministry of Household Affairs was reported to have embezzled official bank and depleted the national treasury."

"Tsk tsk, those corrupt officials are probably deceived by lard, right? The money in the treasury is the hard-earned money of our common people, and they dare to corrupt even this! Pooh!"

When this man heard about the death of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, he immediately spat at the door of the house with righteous indignation.

Others witnessed and followed his example, spitting at the door of others.

Lin Zhengxian's body inside the door is still cold, but he doesn't know that he has become a corrupt official despised by the people in the city.

In the Hubu Shangshu's mansion, the guards in charge of the door had long heard the commotion outside, glanced at the dark people outside through the crack of the door, and immediately dared not open the door.

The clever servant turned around and went to report to the housekeeper.

But now the entire Lin Mansion, because of Lin Zhengxian's death, has already been messed up.

In the backyard of the Lin Mansion, in the boudoir of the eldest lady of the Lin family.

Mrs. Lin was holding the hand of her beloved daughter, telling her with tears in her eyes.

"Shu'er, your father is not a corrupt official. This time...he is a substitute for the crime. Others can scold your father, and even the Holy One can decree to punish him, but as a daughter, you must know What kind of person is your father!"

Miss Lin, who was born weak and beautiful, was also crying like pear blossoms and rain at this time.

"Mother, you don't need to talk about it anymore, my daughter can save these things by herself..."

How could she not know what kind of person her father was?With Dad's temperament that he is tired of receiving gifts and socializing, how could he do things that would drain the treasury and fill his own pockets?
In the boudoir, the mother and daughter were crying with each other in their arms. Suddenly, a housekeeper came outside to report that someone had just sent a message that His Majesty's order was coming soon, so Lord Lin's family members were going to go out to receive the order.

Only then did the mother and daughter stop their tears and stop crying.

Mrs. Lin also has a younger sister who also lives in the Lin residence. At this time, Miss Lin's aunt is leading the servants at home to prepare plain clothes and hats, and there are many things for funerals, and she is temporarily helping Mrs. Lin. The field outside.

Aunt Lin also sent someone to bring two sets of plain clothes and crowns to Miss Lin, saying that she asked the mother and daughter to change into them quickly, and go out later to wait for the adults in the palace to pass the decree.
