Lin Gongzi medicine jar

Lin Xi always thought that his father was a typical pedantic scholar-bureaucrat, and he wanted to make this ledger only to let Lin Qing get rid of his grievances, face these ill-gotten gains calmly, and use them for self-protection in the future, but never I never thought of challenging the entire Jiangnan bureaucracy.

However, Lin Qing really regarded himself as a strong man facing the light and going deep into the darkness.

Prefect Lin already has an excellent reputation in Shilin, because ill-gotten gains come easily, and he doesn't feel sorry for his generosity. He has seen people's hearts for a long time and has really attracted a group of people with lofty ideals. Over the past six years, he has searched openly and secretly. There is a lot of evidence of corruption and breaking the law.

At that time, Lin Xi's cold syndrome was relapsing badly, and he didn't have much energy to focus on here, but his father finally knew how to be tactful, and he was relieved to see that Lin Zhifu's appointment as an official was smooth.However, when the body recovers a little bit, and after regaining energy, they find that the things that the father and son have sorted out can be called shocking. The officials involved are getting higher and higher positions, and the number of people is also increasing, which can almost overturn half of Huaizhou.

Lin Xi wanted to give up, but seeing his father's resolute eyes, every time the words of persuasion got stuck in his mouth, he couldn't say anything. He could only secretly think about how to hide these terrible things tightly.

But he knew that one day his father would do something crazy.

Now the waiting time has finally come, but a hole card in Pei Xuan's hand instantly turned into a life-threatening token, which Lin Qing never expected.

Fortunately, although Lin Qing trusted Pei Xuan, he did not tell Lin Xi about it.

After hearing Lin Qing's words, Lin Xi's turbulent mood calmed down a bit, "So, senior brother Pei only knows that father has the ledger, which contains evidence of officials' corruption and perverting the law, but he doesn't know who is recorded in it, what he did, and neither Do you know where the ledger is?"

"That's right, I told Xuan'er that I'm afraid that if my father has something good or bad, he can use it to deal with you and protect the two of you." Perhaps because of the loving father's heart to protect the calf, he never wanted to let his beloved young son fall into this situation. In the quagmire, that's why I revealed it to my students a little bit.

This is the most fortunate thing, otherwise Pei Xuan would not have persuaded him, and I am afraid that he would have killed him directly.In a house, there are no more than 30 people including masters and servants, so it is really not difficult to quietly silence them.

Different from Lin Qing's gentleman's sentiment that he intends to sacrifice his life to be clear and bright, Lin Xi thinks about how to stabilize the other party first, seek escape, and then consider the righteousness in his heart.He was thinking about discussing with Lin Qing whether to modify some of the less serious ledgers first and send them out at a better time. Although the time was tight, it was better than doing nothing now.

However, before he could organize his words, he felt a pair of hands touching his face, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Qing's solemn and upright face.

Lin Qing looked at his son in front of him, the poor pale face finally turned red, and he felt very comforted in his heart, so he said softly: "Father is not afraid of anything, but I can't let you go. I think I was so young at the beginning. The little one was as weak as a kitten, didn't even have the strength to open his eyes, and he left without knowing when. Fortunately, my son was lucky, and the doctor from Fujian was kind, so the poor man finally got rid of the entanglement of the disease. From now on, Xi'er can Marry a wife and have children to live an ordinary life.”

Lin Qing paused here, seemingly unwilling, but sighed helplessly, and said, "Although my father is not used to the style of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, and the relationship with the Marquis Mansion is not good, but now I am very glad that your mother is Noble daughter. Xi'er, you are the grandson of Mrs. Tai, and she has missed you all the time in the past few years, and she has never lost all kinds of precious supplements. I remember your mother sent a letter to pick you up when she first left. If it wasn't for his father's reluctance to recuperate, and Dr. Min is a famous genius doctor, he would have been taken away long ago."

Lin Qing touched Lin Xi's face, the reluctance in his eyes moved Lin Xi, and he called out in a low voice, "Father..."

"I have already written to my father. I am afraid that someone from Jingzhong will come soon. If he comes, Xi'er will follow. Don't be reluctant to leave Dad. If you and my father and son are destined, after the matter subsides, Dad will come to pick you up again."

Lin Xi's eyes widened suddenly, and she stared blankly at her father.

"I'm not going," he heard himself say.

"Stop messing around." Lin Qing reprimanded, but his tone was not serious at all. Instead, he persuaded with pity and guilt, "This time the situation has changed suddenly. As a father, I don't know where it will end up. Xi'er just listen. Arrange for father, don't let father have scruples, okay?"

It's not good at all. Once he leaves, I'm afraid it will be hard to see him again in the future.But in the face of the resolute Lin Qing, Lin Xi knew that no matter how hard he persuaded him, it would be difficult to change, so he had to go back to the room and think carefully before making any plans. There was always a way.

Lin Xi knew that there was not much time, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, so fast that he didn't even have a single arrangement.

Not long after Lin Qing went to the government office, when Lin Xi was still washing and changing clothes, he heard a noise from the outer courtyard, and then a burst of crying from far to near, and he was about to enter the bedroom.

Before Yuanyuan and Tuantuan could reprimand him, Lin Fang and several other servants rushed in and knelt down on the ground, crying, "Young master, something is wrong! Many officers and soldiers came outside, and the house They are all surrounded! Now they forced their way in, and the housekeeper only stepped forward to ask a few words, and then he was knocked to the ground, but he couldn't even get up."

Lin Xi's complexion changed suddenly, and when she got up in a hurry, she only heard low cries from Tuantuan, her swaying body was almost stabilized by the two girls.

He didn't care about the darkness in front of his eyes, and asked anxiously, "What about dad? Can he come back?"

One of the servants quickly replied: "I didn't see the master, and... the master is afraid that it is not good. I heard an official persuade the man who beat the housekeeper not to worry about it, but he heard the man say, 'The magistrate is not too troublesome. I'm going to prison, what's there to be afraid of, I can still settle accounts with Laozi', young master, master is the magistrate, the biggest in Huaizhou city, who dares to put him in prison... Young master, what should I do? ...we...we..."

Then he burst into tears.

After saying this, everyone in the room cried together, as if a catastrophe was imminent.

Being preemptive!Lin Xi suppressed her panic, and kept saying to herself that she had faced the muzzle of the black hole, was she afraid of something?

"Go out and have a look first." He heard himself say calmly, but as soon as he left the room, he heard Zhou's mother scolding.

"Presumptuous, my wife is the third lady of the Yongninghou Mansion in Beijing, and the current Yongninghou is the uncle of my family. Even if the master is plotted against by villains now, with the Yongninghou Mansion, he will be safe sooner or later. You all have nothing to fear Isn't it bullying the young and ignorant master of the Lin family? My young master is weak and cannot be treated rudely by you. If something goes wrong, as long as someone in the Lin family sees it, your master may not be in trouble. Could it be that you can also escape? A catastrophe?"

As expected of Mrs. Yongning's choice of dowry for her youngest daughter, Zhou's mother had no fear in the face of these tiger and wolf soldiers.

Then they saw two chubby girls lift the curtain, and a handsome young man came out from inside. He looked thin, but there was no trace of panic between his brows. He glanced at them lightly with his clear eyes, and said coldly: " My father was appointed magistrate of Huaizhou by the emperor. Now that he has not seen the imperial decree or the imperial envoy, he has been sent to the prison privately. It can be seen that the man jumped the wall in a hurry, and the grasshopper after autumn will not be able to jump for a long time. Now the Lin family is just in trouble. I want to see if our Lin family can be besieged for a while, or for a lifetime! I don’t care who is behind it, if I suffer humiliation today, I will fight to the death and go to Beijing to sue!"

No one saw Lin Xi's tightly clenched hands behind her back, the nails were deeply embedded in the flesh.

Perhaps Lin Xi's fearlessness in the face of danger had an effect, and there was some hesitation on the faces of the officers and soldiers, but at this moment, a sudden laughter came, and the officers and soldiers moved out of the way, and saw Master Li and Master Cao coming together.

"I have always heard that Young Master Lin is weak and sick, and it is not common to be raised by Master Lin in a deep boudoir. I am worried that something will happen to His Excellency. The Lin family has no idea. The officers and soldiers are rude and rude to Young Master Lin. , but I am worthy of Master Lin's brotherhood. Now I feel relieved, I thought I was a little milk cat who didn't understand current affairs, but I didn't want to be a tiger cub showing his fangs."

Lin Xi wished to expose the shame of these two people and stomp on them a few times, but now she could only hold back deeply, and kowtowed with her hand: "You two uncles, my nephew really can't help it, my father is not here, and there is nothing to do in such a big house." The person in charge, had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, now seeing Uncle Shi, a stone fell to the ground in my heart. Boy, I have no choice but, my father has always kept himself safe and upright, but he didn't know what he had committed and was sent to prison? I implore the two uncles Point one or two."

He took a deep breath, raised his head and looked sincerely.

The faces of the two adults softened immediately, and they even squeezed out what could be called benevolent smiles.

"Someone sued in front of the governor. Lord Daolin was corrupt and broke the law. All the money allocated by the imperial court for repairing embankments and construction of agriculture and banks was lost. What's more, one or two out of ten of the imperial court's taxes were lost. The evidence is solid and convincing. Your Excellency the Governor I have no choice but to put it in prison first, and report it to the court after the investigation is clear, and now I have to wrong my lord first."

Lin Xi lowered her head, trying to hide the coldness in her eyes, but heard them continue to induce, "Nephew, it is not easy to hide such a large amount of silver. Letting go of the slightest bit... But, if Master Lin had foreseen it long ago, and there is evidence to prove his innocence, that would be the best, and it would save the family from disturbing and adding trouble."

Although the two pairs of eyes are smiling, they are staring at Lin Xi closely, trying to find some clues on his face, but Lin Xi looks only 15 years old, but in his previous life he was always hypocritical, so he can Perfunctory.

I saw that he was shocked first, then angry, then distressed, and finally shook his head and said: "Uncle Shi knows that I have always been in poor health, and my father often stares at me when he sees me taking medicine, so he doesn't talk to me about these things to disturb me. Thought, there is no sign of what happened today, and my nephew is also confused. However, this slander is obviously random, because my unbearable body costs a lot of medicine and supplements, and the house has always been frugal. If there is such a With a large sum of money, how can life be so poor, I am afraid that my father offended someone and deliberately slandered him, the two uncles have a good relationship with my father, I implore the uncle to give him justice, otherwise my father's reputation ...cough cough..."

Before he finished speaking, his body was already curled up, and he couldn't help coughing.Mother Zhou immediately took out a brocade bag from her waist, quickly poured out a pill and stuffed it into Lin Xi's mouth, Yuanyuan cleverly brought a glass of white water, patted Lin Xi's back lightly, and said He said: "Young master, the doctor said that your body is the most fragile, you can't be overjoyed and sad, and you are most afraid of over-thinking. Now that there are two adults here, the master will be fine. You'd better go back and rest, otherwise your body..."

Lin Xi pushed them away with a wave of his hand, and said to Li Tongzhi and Cao Tongjuan: "Uncle Shi, forgive me, my nephew is really unbelievable. If you want to search the house, you can do it. I just ask Uncle Shi to be considerate, and I will do it from me." Let's start with the house, my nephew is really useless..."

With a wry smile, he helped Zhou's mother's hand and turned sideways.

The servants of the Lin family all moved out of the way, Cao Tong judge nodded, the officers and soldiers entered one by one, followed by the sound of rummaging through boxes and boxes.

Hearing the sound inside, Lin Xi seemed to think of something suddenly, and said, "Father always works in the study if he has something to do, maybe he has the foresight and has already prepared it. I remember that there is a hidden door in the cabinet on the left side of the study. It happened to happen once I went to find him and met him, if there is anything important, it is probably there."

As soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, their eyes lit up instantly.

Secretly hiding the sarcasm in his heart, "Uncle Shi, please be careful when looking for it, and be careful with things, lest father come back... angry... cough cough..."

After a heart-piercing dry cough, he shook his body, closed his eyes, and fell sideways.

Immediately there was chaos, Tuanyuanyuan's voice was loud, and he cried especially loudly. In a trance, he could only hear Master Li's voice, "Hurry up, send your young master to bed, and the doctor, please ask the doctor personally..."

He heard a faint murmur again, "It's fine if you can't find it, I guess that old Lin Qing will also hand over the account book to this kid."

The noisy footsteps left quickly, while Lin Xi lay on the bed and stared at Fang Liang in a silent trance.
