I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai
Chapter 182 Faces
The so-called money touches people's hearts, Zhou Jia is now like a child crossing the market with money, how can the Lin family not be greedy.
Not to mention the posthumous awards and posthumous titles given to Zhou Lin by the imperial court, even the Zhou family's fertile fields and the Lin family coveted it, not to mention the protection of the imperial examination, which is an opportunity that merchants can't get.
The Lin family is located in the south of Tianshui Town, a large house with four entrances. Although the family business has declined, the extravagance of the Lin family has not been restrained at all. This morning, the abalone wing belly is enough to make up for it.
Cheng Jin and Hei Shan spent some effort and finally found Zhou Jia's courtyard.
In all fairness, the courtyard is really well built and the location is also very good. It can be seen that the Lin family took care of Zhou Jia in the past.
"Come on, let's go in and have a look."
The servants were all active in the outer courtyard. As soon as Cheng Jin walked in, he smelled a strong smell of medicine. When he walked around the screen in the middle, he saw a small man lying on the bed with a pale complexion. One of the henchmen.
"Wake up."
Cheng Jin pushed the person, and his confidant woke up suddenly. Seeing that the person who came was the master's younger brother, he was pleasantly surprised and said: "I pay my respects to Master Cheng."
"You don't need to be too polite, what's the situation now? This kid is Zhou Jia?" Why does he feel that he doesn't look like Zhou Lin, or is he like his mother?
The confidant replied: "This son is indeed Zhou Jia's fault, so as not to confuse the Lin family's bloodline of the Zhou family, Jiayi and I have also specifically asked the servants who have left the mansion and the surrounding neighbors."
Cheng Jin believed that the brother's confidant did things properly: "The letter only said that Zhou Jia fell into a coma after falling into the water, how is it now?"
"I don't know why I can't wake up, and the doctor can't tell why. Seeing that he is getting more and more haggard, he can't bear the fatigue of the boat, otherwise I will take him out of Tianshui Town first." Clearly disgusted.
Cheng Jin didn't know medical skills, so he stretched out his hand and beckoned Heilulu behind him, motioning for him to take a look, maybe it might be a lost soul.
However, Heishan couldn't help frowning when he glanced at it. He stretched out his hand to feel his pulse again, and his expression became even more strange.
"how?"
Montenegro shook his head: "It's very strange."
"Where is the strangeness?"
Heishan glanced at the child on the bed, and dragged Cheng Jin outside. He waited for no one around before he said, "This child looks like his parents are there."
Cheng Jin was startled: "What? How is this possible? And Master, when did you learn to read faces?"
Heishan only said: "If you don't believe me, just ask someone surnamed Yan to come and have a look."
It's not that Cheng Jin doesn't trust Hei Lulu, but the confidant sent by his senior brother is thoughtful and has been checked but there is no flaw. Is the Lin family so impeccable in doing things?With this ability, isn't it good to do business seriously?Don't go through this side door.
"If that's the case, then the question is, where is Zhou Jia?"
Cheng Jin's face was a bit solemn. He thought that this trip was just to help his confidant get Zhou Jia out of the Lin family. Who knew that Zhou Jia was still mixed with water this week. If Zhou Taishi knew about it, he might have climbed up from the underworld. .
"What are you going to do?"
"This is not easy to handle. I have to go to the underworld again and ask the ghost messenger if the real Zhou Jia is still alive." After Cheng Jin finished speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing, "If it is true that the Lin family is traveling during this time, With Li Daitao's stiff technique, I think the people sent by my senior brother should be able to find out. But since they haven't been found out, maybe..."
"Maybe what?"
"Perhaps it was replaced as early as birth."
Montenegro: ...You mortals' scheming is too deep.
"Master, wait outside, I will go inside and explain a few words before I come out."
After Cheng Jin finished speaking, he went in and told his confidants to take good care of the child first. If possible, he would collect all the news of the Lin family, especially the child who was the same age as Zhou Jia.
However, his confidant immediately shook his head and said, "My lord, the Lin family does not have a child of the same age as Zhou Jia."
"Is there no one? There is no concubine?"
"No."
This is even more strange. Cheng Jin went to the underworld full of doubts. As for Heilulu, he asked the demon to go to Tangxi to ask Taoist Yan if there was any way to identify blood relatives.
Zhou Lin was waiting at the gate of the judge's hall. When he saw him coming, he rushed over and said, "How is it? How is Jia'er's illness? Can it be cured?"
"Zhou Taishi, I'm afraid things are a bit complicated."
The worry on Zhou Lin's face became heavier: "Why is it complicated? Is there something wrong with the soul?"
If this matter is true, it won't be long to hide it. Cheng Jin organized his words and told the whole situation: "Of course it is also possible that the master is wrong, but..." The possibility is very slim.
Zhou Lin was completely dumbfounded, the whole ghost tree was stunned, and his eyes were frozen.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly he started crying and laughing again. The whole ghost was described as crazy. If it wasn't for the ghost not having tears, he might have burst into tears at this moment.
"I don't deserve to be his father! I'm the one who doesn't deserve it! My Jia'er, I'm sorry for your father!"
This is even more uncomfortable than gouging out his heart. How could this be?Who the hell is going to deal with him like this!He, Zhou Lin, was able to walk upright and sit upright, why did he do this to his child!
Seeing Zhou Lin like this, Cheng Jin also felt a little uncomfortable. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, before coming to see Zhou Lin, Cheng Jin had gone to the ghost messenger to ask about Zhou Jia's life and death. At this moment, the ghost messenger just came over and brought the news that Zhou Jia was still alive.
"really?"
"nature."
Hearing this, Zhou Lin immediately restrained himself a lot. This time, he didn't want to ask Cheng Yi'an any more. He just wanted to go to Lin's house by himself and ask what his good father-in-law had done.
There are a series of procedures for the ghosts in the underground to go to the underworld to take revenge. Ordinary ghosts may have to wait for several years, but Zhou Lin is regarded as an alternate ghost, and he is accompanied by Cheng Jin. Can go to the sun.
The weather in Yangjian today can't be called good, it's overcast, just like Zhou Lin's current mood.
"Zhou Taishi, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Lin looked at the huge Lin house in front of him, and only hated himself for being ignorant of people. If he had been more careful back then, his Jiaer would not have disappeared like this now.
The Lin family is really good. Zhou Lin was so angry that he didn't want to waste time: "Break in directly, I want to ask Lin Xin, what is it made of!"
"Break in? It's not impossible."
Cheng Jin simply put on a Taoist robe, and imitated the appearance of Taoist Yan, all the way through the door of Lin's house.
"Who are you, why did you break into a private house! Come! Come!"
However, there was no one who could fight. Cheng Jin had knocked down many slaves of the Lin family by himself, and the rest who surrounded the Lin family leader did not dare to step forward easily, especially after Zhou Lin appeared. I can't even lift the stick.
"you you you you--"
It is worth mentioning that the ghosts who come up through the normal procedures of the underworld can manifest themselves according to their own wishes.
Zhou Lin saw that Cheng Jin had already controlled the situation of the Lin family, so he couldn't wait to grab his former father-in-law into the air: "I'm not dead! Tell me, where did you hide my son Zhou Jia! If you don't tell me, I will pull you away!" Let's go to hell together!"
Master Lin was so frightened, he pointed at the house where Zhou Jia lived and tremblingly said, "There! Zhou Lin, you you you—"
"You're lying! That's not my son Zhou Jia at all. If you make a mistake again, I'll chop off your finger!"
Master Lin peed in fright, he didn't understand what Zhou Lin said.
He thought to himself, I really wanted to replace Zhou Jia with my own child after Zhou Jia fell into the water, but before he could act, someone from the capital came, not only rescued him in front of him, but also gave him back to him. He has no face.
And when Zhou Lin was persecuting Master Lin, Cheng Jin was observing everyone in the hall.
Mrs. Lin and a group of female family members were all huddled together, their faces were full of fear and fear. As for the younger generation of the Lin family, as the senior brother's confidant said, they were not at the same age as Zhou Jia.
This is strange, isn't Master Lin doing it?
Cheng Jin speculated, and suddenly saw a person.
"who are you?"
This woman looked at forty or fifty years of age, which was considered very old in ancient times. Although the other maids and women were frightened, this one made him feel more like...a guilty conscience with fear.
Cheng Jin was about to reach out to grab him, but this woman got up and ran away, good guy, her legs and feet really don't look like those of her age.
At this moment, Mrs. Lin suddenly screamed: "It's Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li is Ping'er's nanny and the person who delivered Ping'er!" Ping'er was Zhou Lin's wife's boudoir name.
Cheng Jin was about to run two quick steps to catch him when Heishan suddenly appeared and took him back.
Zhou Lin laughed angrily: "When did the Lin family become so poor that they have no money to hire a stable wife for my wife!"
Master Lin was so frightened that he fell to the ground, but it was Mrs. Lin who told the story.
But it turned out that Zhou Jia was not born in the Lin Mansion, but in the Wanfu Temple outside the town.
After Mrs. Lin married Zhou Lin, she kept getting together less and leaving more, and she thought a lot during the late pregnancy. One day, she suddenly wanted to go to the temple to pray for blessings. But must go.
Mrs. Lin had no choice but to fulfill her wish and let Mrs. Li bring all the people there.
Unexpectedly, something happened after this trip, and by the time they received the news and rushed to Wanfu Temple, the Lin family was already dead.
"Why didn't you tell me such an important matter?" Zhou Lin was so angry that his ghostly aura jumped up.
Mrs. Lin cried and fell to the ground. She wanted to say it at the beginning, but her husband stopped her, saying that such an unnecessary move would make Zhou Lin blame her daughter for not knowing how to protect children, and thus divorced from the Lin family.
However, Zhou Lin had already found Mrs. Li, and the cold ghostly aura attached to Mrs. Li's body, causing her to scream in fright: "Say! Where is my son!"
"If you don't tell me, I'll kill the kid inside!"
Granny Li was frightened immediately, and immediately screamed: "I say! I say, don't kill him!"
Not to mention the posthumous awards and posthumous titles given to Zhou Lin by the imperial court, even the Zhou family's fertile fields and the Lin family coveted it, not to mention the protection of the imperial examination, which is an opportunity that merchants can't get.
