Lin Gongzi medicine jar

It has been five days since Lin Xi came out of the dungeon, and he has been in a coma for five days.

No one disturbed them for five days, and those who followed closely only needed to see Lin Xi's distraught and tear-stained face as soon as he came out of the dungeon to know the ending.After that, Lin Xi had a high fever and had nightmares again and again. The doctor who reluctantly invited him just shook his head and sighed, saying that it was only God's will.

Although those people were so happy that Lin Xi died of a serious illness, they no longer persecuted them, and there were a lot fewer officers and soldiers outside the courtyard.

However, since God let Lin Xi come here, he naturally refused to take his life back easily. After four days of high fever, the heat miraculously subsided, and Lin Xi opened his eyes five days later, letting a group of loyal The servants burst into tears with excitement, Qi Qi lost a lot of weight.

Lin Xi thought for a long time, and couldn't stop recalling Lin Qing's words and face. In the end, his eyes fell on "Baishi Travel Notes", which he threw casually on the bedside table. They all just glanced casually, then broke into the deeper back room and rummaged around.

The bright moon and the great river, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are the first sentence of the Canglang Fu at the beginning of Chapter 2 in "Baishi Travel Notes".

Lin Xi caressed the cover carefully, and then opened the pages with unprecedented solemnity. Chapter 2 tells that Mr. Baishi was shocked by the sight of the Yangtze River waves surging under the full moon at night, and lamented the insignificance of human affairs and the impermanence of the world. In fact, it was very boring for Lin Xi. He just flipped through it as a bedtime reading. So far, he has not even finished Chapter 1.

Turning over the opening chapter, the content immediately changed. Lin Xi's hand holding the book was suddenly clenched. Looking at the familiar, vigorous and powerful font, her heart suddenly felt extremely sour.

This is Lin Qing's handwriting, or it can be called a must.

His father relented at the last moment and gave him the right to choose.

Lin Xi closed her eyes and closed the book, and slowly hugged it to her chest.This note is not an account book, but it is enough to dismount a group of officials.Who should I hand it over to? If Lin Xi had no doubt exchanged benefits a few years ago, in exchange for the survival of the father and son, but now, even if reason tells him that it is best to do the same, but emotionally... Lin Qing in the dungeon The resolute face, the firm gaze, and the lack of regret without hesitation... He felt that he had the answer.

The night before the imperial envoy's arrival, news came that Lin Qing committed suicide in fear of crime.

In the midst of crying and shouting, Lin Xi straightened his body, his face was indifferent, he didn't cry, but very calmly ordered his servants to set up the mourning hall and put on sackcloth.

Because he committed suicide in fear of crime, others were afraid of avoiding it, so naturally few people came to express their condolences. Even if people came, they shook their heads and sighed. Lin Xi was impatient with the reception, so she sat for a while and then left.

When Pei Xuan arrived, Lin Xi was wearing white linen, kneeling upright in front of the mourning hall, looking at Lin Qing's tablet, motionless.

"Brother, let's burn some incense first." Lin Xi didn't move, as if she knew who was behind her.

Pei Xuan raised his robe, knelt beside Lin Xi, took the three sticks of incense from the housekeeper, silently kowtowed three times to Lin Qing's tablet, then got up and inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the tablet, thinking of Lin Qing His earnest instruction made his eyes turn red immediately, and he couldn't hold back his crying, holding on to the case and crying to come out.

No matter what he did or who he served, Lin Qing was his most respected teacher after all, and Pei Xuan never stopped admiring him.

Lin Xi saw that Pei Xuan had already fulfilled all the etiquette, so she got up with the support of Zhou's mother, looked at Lin Qing's tablet and said lightly: "Father has already passed away, brother, don't worry too much, this kind of ending is always easy It was expected, maybe it will be my turn next."

"Xi'er..." Pei Xuan was surprised by the young man's indifference, but seeing Lin Xi's thinner chin and sunken eyes, he was speechless.In this short period of less than a month, it is understandable for such an innocent child to undergo such a drastic change and a sudden change in temperament.

What's more, Lin Xi has always been transparent.

Pei Xuan was very distressed, and was about to promise that he would protect him, but Lin Xi raised his chin slightly, and said with a sneer: "But it's not that easy, although Xi's life is poor, but it's hard to see what happened to those people." Don't dare to die!"

His voice was hoarse, but the harshness in his words surprised Pei Xuan. Pei Xuan suddenly thought of something, and fixed his eyes on Lin Xi.Lin Qing's death made the location of the ledger instantly a mystery, but because of this, no one dared to touch Lin Xi again, fearing that once the last bloodline was cut off, the Lin family would have to fight to the death.

But if Lin Xi really knew...

Seeing Pei Xuan's changing expression, Lin Xi's heart became more and more sad, and finally turned cold, but he smiled slightly on his face, as innocent and romantic as he was when he was a child, and said to Pei Xuan: "Brother, I'm afraid I'm thinking too much, the account book... Dad didn't say it before, and he won't say it later, but Dad is soft-hearted, Xi'er will always gain something when he goes to the dungeon, and now... Xi'er will help senior brother."

Although he tried his best to maintain a sad appearance, when Pei Xuan held Lin Qing's handwriting, the light in his eyes still made his whole face show excitement, and the depressive distortion made Lin Xi turn his head away.

After reading the manuscript, Pei Xuan put it in his arms solemnly, and thanked Lin Xi: "Xi'er did give me a big gift, as long as the teacher's handwriting is handed over to the imperial envoy, the Li and Cao families are finished. Xi'er doesn't know , It’s not just a day or two that they hated the teacher, they were the ones who hindered the teacher’s trouble, and I’m afraid he died at their hands yesterday! Don’t worry, Xi’er, I will definitely sue the imperial envoy, restore the Lin family’s innocence, and comfort the teacher’s spirit in heaven.”

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but said sadly: "The teacher is still facing me."

Lin Xi lowered her eyes, covered the sarcasm on her face, and said softly, "This is the best."

As early as when Li Tongzhi and Cao Tongsan appeared in Lin's mansion, Lin Xi knew that they were destined to be cannon fodder.Now it seems that it is just the inevitable result of the dispute between the two princes.The fifth prince was impatient and attacked the Lin family first, not to mention he could not find the account book, and he showed his feet, and finally he was forced to attack Lin Qing.The third prince's trick is to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai chess game, not only to protect his own officials, but also to indirectly make the opponent lose Jiangnan's manpower.

Although Lin Xi was disdainful, he was self-aware. He didn't have Lin Qing's courage, so he could only seek to protect himself first.He is the only person in the world who knows the ledger, but he would never send it out rashly before he knows the nature of the imperial envoy.

And he knew that Lin Qing was also hesitating, otherwise this handwriting would not exist.

Lin Xi had already decided that if the imperial envoy was upright, he would naturally be able to follow the vine. At that time, he would not mind being brave and pushing the heads of all Huaizhou officials, big and small, to the ground.It's just that if the imperial envoy has already stood in line or is timid, why should he hit the stone with an egg?

Thinking of this, his eyes darkened, "Senior brother, father's bones are not cold, his body..."

"Xi'er, don't worry, when I hand over the manuscript to the governor, the teacher's grievances will be resolved immediately, and then you and I will welcome the teacher back together."

Pei Xuan couldn't sit still as he spoke, and hurriedly resigned from Lin Xi and went to the Governor's Mansion.

The official circles in Huaizhou once again caused waves because of Lin Qing's handwriting. Before the imperial envoy arrived, there was already a dark tide, and there were many swords and swords.

However, these processes are not important to Lin Xi, he is just waiting for the result.

After Lin Qing's body was sent back, the Li and Cao families were imprisoned along with some aristocratic families. The imperial envoys confiscated several of them, and returned to the capital in a mighty manner with rich spoils.

Lin Xi looked at the ending with cold eyes, and finally could only smile wryly in his heart. The power of the fifth prince has almost disappeared in the south of the Yangtze River. In the contest between the governor and the governor, the governor had the last laugh, which also meant that the treasury of the third prince would never be as good. one expansion.

The churning waves finally subsided, but the filth underneath continued.

And this time, there will be no more Lin Qing.

West Wind Ancient Road, at the gate of Huaizhou City.

Lin Xi left the magistrate's house with the rest of the servants, helped Lin Qing's coffin to return to his hometown in Liangzhou, and then buried with his mother, returning to their roots. This is the last thing a son of man can do.

Now that Pei Xuan is proud of the spring breeze, he wanted to take Lin Xi to his yard to take good care of him, but his junior brother didn't agree, so he could only say goodbye in the ten-mile Changting Pavilion.

"Xi'er, the teacher's grievance has been cleared. The governor has already asked the emperor to comfort the Lin family. The imperial envoy will definitely praise the teacher's righteousness. I am afraid that the decree of kindness will come down soon. Besides, if you go to Liangzhou, The weather is colder than that in the south of the Yangtze River, but your body can take it? Why don't you wait a few more days, and go with you after my brother settles down, so I can take care of you on the way."

Lin Xi was wrapped in a thick fox-fur cloak, which was snow-white, with only half of his face exposed. Even though the cold was gradually alleviated in the early winter, he couldn't cure the problem of being afraid of the cold more than ordinary people.

"No, father is no longer here, so what is the meaning of more generous rewards to me, and Huaizhou is just sad to me, I don't want to stay for a moment, I think father also wants to go back soon. Kind brother Xi'er, thank you in advance."

The hand hidden in the cloak buttoned slightly, and then retracted again. With lowered eyelids, Lin Xi's expression could not be seen clearly.

"Spring is approaching, senior brother should also focus on his studies, no matter how ambitious he is, it will be useless if he fails to pass the Jinshi exam."

After speaking, he turned around and left, and took the hand of Zhou's mother into the carriage.

Pei Xuan had no choice but to instruct the servant of the Lin family repeatedly before watching the white team go away.

Through the curtain of the window, Lin Xi listened to the sound of the wheels, and quietly watched the huge gate plaque of Huaizhou City gradually shrink and disappear.This place where I have lived for eight years, after all, gradually dissipates like a cloud of smoke, only the unchanging memory remains forever.

From now on, there will be no one to shield her from the wind and rain, only herself alone. Even if she is a human being in two lifetimes, Lin Xi is worried about her bleak future.

A few days later, several fast horses entered Huaizhou City.

Xiao Ningxuan got off his horse, looked at the plaque of the Lin Mansion, waited for a while, and saw a servant in Tsing Yi hurried out, "Fourth Master, the inside is empty, except for a deaf porter, there is no one here. people."

Hearing this, Xiao Ningxuan's expression darkened, "It's still too late, Xi'er may have helped Ling to go to Liangzhou. He is still young, and there is no one in the hometown of the third brother-in-law, and I am afraid that a child will not be able to take care of him. Fang Xin, You take people back to the Marquis Mansion to report first, and the rest follow me to Liangzhou."

"Yes, fourth master."

However, before they got on their horses, they saw another group of fast horses approaching from a distance, and those who hadn't stopped their horses jumped off, saluted Xiao Ningxuan in a hurry, then leaned into Xiao Ningxuan's ear and said something quickly sentence.

I saw Xiao Ningxuan's brows furrowed quickly, hesitated for a while, then muttered: "Fang Xin, take a few people to catch up with Young Master Biao as soon as possible, and you must escort him to Liangzhou safely, and take care of him on the way." , I’ll go back home first.”

"Yes." Fang Xin didn't say much, and several people immediately mounted their horses, waved their whips, and ran towards the west gate.

Xiao Ningxuan glanced back at the old Lin residence, took the rein, turned the horse's head, and headed back the way it came.

In an instant, the front of the Lin Mansion was depressed again.
