After the system ran, I took off with my family

In Xiao Zhennian's opinion, this explanation is the most reasonable. In the Zhou Dynasty, the vast majority of powerful people kept a group of assassins.

Most of the ways to control the dead soldiers are to feed them poison. If the dead soldiers want to survive, they must obey the orders of their masters and work for their masters. The masters will give them antidotes regularly.

"Uncle Nian, thank you." Lin Shuyue felt warm in her heart. She had never expected that Xiao Zhennian would be so thoughtful for her.

Xiao Zhennian waved his hands, "It's nothing. Not to mention that all you did was for our Zhenhai Division. Just because you called me Uncle Nian, I should protect you."

After dinner, Lin Shuyue went for a walk on the beach alone.

The waves beat tirelessly on the beach under the night sky. Lin Shuyue sat on a reef, looking at the mysterious and deep sea, but her thoughts flew to the "Giant Whale" Island.

She had seen the kind of wood that Gao Zhi described on Giant Whale Island before, so it seemed she had to go to Giant Whale Island again.

I wonder how the Xinlu brothers are doing.

Sishui County, Lanshan Village.

Lin An fiddled with the food in the bowl and sighed from time to time.

"If you can't eat, just put down your bowl and chopsticks. Why are you always sighing?" Li rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.

"I'm worried about Xiao Ya. Three days have passed, why hasn't she come back yet? Maybe something happened to her on the way?" Lin An put down his bowl and chopsticks, his face full of worry.

"What are you worried about? You know how capable Xiaoya is. Something must have held her back, so she hasn't come back yet.

Among our three children, Xiaoya is the most stable, don't worry, everything will be fine."

Li quickly finished the food in the bowl and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. She thought of something and suggested, "I think you are too idle. Why don't you go to Xunweilou tomorrow? Or go to the county government office to see the progress of the case, so that you don't have to worry about it all day long at home."

"Okay, let's go to the county town tomorrow." Lin An stood up and took Li's hand. "Let's go to the pavilion in the front yard to enjoy the cool air, appreciate the flowers, and learn from the rich people."

Li was at a loss for words. How could they appreciate flowers so late at night? How come the child's father became more childish as he got older?

The next day, Lin Shuyue woke up with a scream. She put on her clothes and was about to make her bed when an old lady came in with a basin of warm water.

The old lady shouted quickly, "Hey, girl, don't move. Let the old slave clean it up. Come and wash up."

This lady was originally a helper in the kitchen. Since there were no maids in the residence, Xiao Zhennian could only ask this lady to temporarily take care of Lin Shuyue's daily life.

After she washed up, the aunt brought her a breakfast, which included millet porridge with rice oil, a plate of pastries, and a plate of side dishes. It seemed that it was specially prepared for her.

After breakfast, Lin Shuyue went to see Gao Zhi first, then found Xiao Zhennian and said goodbye to him, "Uncle Nian, I have to go back. Wait for my news about Mu Tou, I will let you know when the time comes."

Xiao Zhennian didn't try to persuade her to stay, but only told her to be careful on the road.

After leaving the station, Lin Shuyue rode his horse to Wanhe County, picked up Qinghe and Qingzhi, and the three of them rode away...

In the flower hall of the Lin Mansion in Jing'an Lane, Wu Mo happily bowed to Lin An and Li, "Master Lin, Madam Lin, the verdict of the Yuhu Manor case will be announced tomorrow. The young master asked me to inform the master and the lady to go to the county government tomorrow. Who knows, good things may happen!"

Lin An and Li looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. Lin An smiled and said to Wu Mo: "Thank you for making a special trip. Yuan An is thoughtful. We will definitely be there tomorrow."

After Wu Mo left, Li happily told Mother Luo to go to the kitchen and ask Aunt Wang to add a few more dishes to dinner. It was a rare good news, so they had to celebrate it properly.

The next day, just at noon, the outside of the county government hall was crowded with people watching the fun.

In the crowd, Master Wang and the students of Yuhua School looked at Master Gao kneeling in the court and sighed.

In the court, Zhou Hai's family, the Wang family father and son, and Master Gao knelt on the ground with sad expressions, while Lin An and his wife and Lin Shuyan looked on coldly.

Wu Yuanan sat in the court with a majestic look, and several confessions were placed on the table in front of him.

"The criminals Zhou Hai, Zhou Lu, and Zhou Ying, in order to seize the Lin family's money, put drugs in Lin Shuyan's tea, intending to frame Lin Shuyan and destroy his reputation. The circumstances are serious.

Now, the three have confessed everything. Zhou Hai and Zhou Lu are the masterminds. According to the laws of our dynasty, anyone who commits the crime of false accusation shall be sentenced to fifty lashes of the cane and thrown into prison for ten years.

Zhou Ying, as an accomplice, was sentenced to five strokes of the cane and two years in prison for her good attitude in confessing her guilt and for her active testimony against Zhou Hai and Zhou Lu.

"The verdict is as above. Zhou Hai, Zhou Lu, Zhou Ying, do the three of you have any objections? If not, please put your fingerprints on it."

Wu Yuanan, who was standing behind the case, pronounced the three people's crimes with an expressionless face.

Zhou Ying kowtowed first, "I have no objection."

She couldn't describe how she felt at the moment. She felt happy but also regretful. Her tears dripped onto the ground, forming a small pit.

"Sir, please forgive us. We planned to harm Lin Shuyan, but we failed. Please be lenient with me!" Zhou Hai burst into tears and kowtowed and begged.

Zhou Lu, who was in a daze, suddenly thought of something and quickly moved to face Lin Shuyan, looking at him with hope.

"Ayan, it's my fault. I was possessed by the devil for a moment. Please forgive me this time. We are good brothers. You are fine now. Please go and ask the adults to forgive me this time, okay! I still want to pass the imperial examinations and study... woo woo..."

Zhou Lu begged with tears in his eyes and kowtowed several times to Lin Shuyan. In a short while, his forehead became swollen.

Some students and onlookers felt sorry for him when they saw the bruises on his fair forehead.

Some students couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at Lin Shuyan: "Lin Shuyan, please forgive him this time. Aren't you good brothers? Besides, you are standing here well now!"

"Bang! Silence! No one outside the hall is allowed to speak loudly!" Wu Yuanan slammed the gavel.

When Lin Shuyan in the court heard the student's words, his face turned cold. He was about to speak when Lin An pulled him behind him.

Lin An stared at the students expressionlessly and said in a cold voice: "Ayan can stand here safely because he has the inner strength to escape.

You might as well think about it, if one of you was plotted against that day, what do you think would have happened to you?

Being pointed at and scolded for bad conduct? Being kicked out of school? And having to marry a woman who tarnishes your reputation, your parents at home will also swallow their grievances for you and give you money to apologize.

Not only that, from now on, the person who framed you will look down on you from a high position, and you will never be able to raise your head for the rest of your life!

Even so, do you still feel pity for Zhou Lu? Don’t advise others to be good without experiencing their suffering! You are all scholars, don’t you understand this truth? "

When the students heard this, they fell into deep thought and couldn't help but put themselves in Lin Shuyan's situation that day. After thinking for a moment, some of them became so angry that their faces turned red. After coming to their senses, the students lowered their heads in shame and stopped talking. Master Wang on the side shook his head and sighed.
