The Lin Family of Gusu in the Red Mansion

The Xue family received a message from the Wang family early this morning, and after hearing it, they suddenly felt a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

The Wang family took great effort to find out the situation, but because they found out, they were planning to let go of it.

"That is to say, the person who uttered obscenities is the son of Mei Shangshu's family?" Aunt Xue was shaking Xue Baochai's hand, with tears in her eyes. How could she have such a wicked person? The young master of the Shangshu family is the same now, is he making trouble with the Shangshu family?"

Xue Baochai also lost her former composure now, she was a little confused for a while, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly for a long time, Xue Baochai just recovered slightly.

Wiping away tears, he patted Aunt Xue's hand and said, "What my brother did to Mr. Mei Shangshu's family is second to none. The most important thing is that my brother also despised the majesty of the royal family and made Prince Rui's son unhappy. It's no wonder uncle I can't control it, he's a member of the royal family, who dares to provoke him? Besides, it's time for my uncle to get promoted, so naturally he won't get involved because of his elder brother's affairs. Even the uncle can't help it, and the aunt's side is even worse. There is no other way, after all, my uncle's official position is even lower." After the phone call, the priority of the matter was sorted out.

The tears that Aunt Xue had just finished wiping fell down again, and she looked mournful as if she was happy to die: "Then what should I do, if Pan'er dies, what's the point of my life? He is the only seedling of our family, Without him, what is the use of the Xue family?"

When Xue Baochai heard what Aunt Xue said, her heart felt like a basin of ice water was poured from head to toe. It turned out that her daughter had never had a place in her mother's heart. Didn't she curse her brother? Could it be that without him, Xue Baochai would not Is it worth it for my mother to stay? Isn't it the reason for the Xue family to exist?Sure enough, everything depends on oneself!

"By the way, Chai, didn't you say there were three people? Since your brother didn't offend the third person, why don't we go and beg him, maybe he can talk to those two if he is soft-hearted, won't your brother be saved? "Aunt Xue suddenly thought of something, and grabbed Xue Baochai's sleeve, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

Xue Baochai frowned and sighed: "Mother, didn't my uncle say in the letter just now that the other son is the son of Lin Shangshu's family who my brother offended in Jinling back then. It all came together."

"It's okay. It's been so many years. People may have forgotten that Lin Shangshu is the best in the Ministry of Punishment. Why don't we ask together? Let's bring more money, maybe it will work. Yes Now, why don't we give some gifts to Shizi, we can't see Shizi, but Mr. Lin can, as long as he brings the money to Shizi, maybe Shizi will let your brother go as soon as he is happy." Aunt Xue Regardless of Xue Baochai's objection, seeing that the wind was like rain, she immediately called someone to change clothes and freshen up, and was about to go to Lin's house.

"But mother, where did we get so much money? Whether it's the Lin family or the elder son's family, it's not the Jia family. They can spend tens of thousands of taels, and they don't even care about that kind of money. "Xue Baochai wanted to say something to stop Aunt Xue, after all, the Xue family couldn't afford to give gifts to these two families.

Aunt Xue sighed slightly, walked up to Xue Baochai, touched her hand and said, "I don't know, but your brother must be saved. I have thought of such a day for a long time. Didn't our family sell it a while ago?" There are a lot of unprofitable shops, just take the money and use it!"

"What?" Xue Baochai was shocked and couldn't believe it, "But isn't that used to buy land and other shops in the future? Just give it away?"

It's a pity that Aunt Xue only has a son in her heart now, and money is not as important as a son, so naturally she won't listen to Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai couldn't resist her, so he had to follow her.

"May I ask which family you are from? What's your business in our house?" The young boy at the door of Lin's family stepped forward and asked with a smile, polite but not too attentive, which seemed just right.

A servant from the Xue family ran over immediately, and smiled cheerfully: "We Jinling Xue family, what, our wife and girl came here today to meet your master and talk about our master. "

As soon as the servant of the Lin family heard that it was from the Xue family, he immediately thought of what happened in Jinling a few years ago. Although he was disgusted, he didn't show it on his face. He just replied, "Wait a minute, I'll go in and report."

"Master, just now the boy at the door came to report that it was the Xue family who had come, their wife and girl, do you want to meet?" Lin Ke was talking to Mei Yan in the study, when he heard a little girl The servant said outside the door.

"My lord, do you want me to see you?" Lin Ke put down the jade in his hand, raised his head and asked Mei Yan who was sitting there in a daze, "But today, my sister is not at home, and their girl won't be able to see her anyway."

Mei Yan immediately regained her spirits when she heard this, and slapped the table: "My lord, I haven't looked for them yet, but I've found your home. It's just right that I'm here. My lord, I'm going to take advantage of it today. .”

Lin Ke was helpless, why this "meeting guest" was so similar to those words when the old bustard in Huajie asked the girl to come out to meet the benefactor.

However, he still opened the door and said to the young boy outside: "Let Mrs. Xue's family wait in the flower hall. As for the girl from the Xue family, just say that my sister is not at home. I am a foreigner who is not suitable to see a girl's house. Let Liu A message from Mammy, let her arrange it."

Aunt Xue was just brought to the small flower hall, and before she could inquire about anything, she saw two teenagers turning into the door, one big and one small.

"I think this is Mrs. Xue's family. I'm going down to Lin Ke. My father has not returned from court today, and my sister is away. So I, a junior, will receive you. Please don't mind." Lin Ke walked to the main seat and smiled lightly. , "I don't know what is the important matter of Mrs. Xue's coming to see me this time?"

As for Mei Yan, she ignored Aunt Xue and sat down on the other main seat. She took the teacup and carefully looked at the tea leaves in it, as if she wanted to study one, two, three, four.

Aunt Xue saw that Lin Ke didn't talk nonsense, so she directly asked her why she came. Seeing that Lin Ke was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and had good manners, she was completely refined like a scholar, so she relaxed her vigilance.In the eyes of their merchants, these scholars are all noble and can't turn their minds around. How did she know that the open and secret fights in the court were more serious than the fights between merchants.

"It's like this. The old lady came today because of my unfilial son. She also asked Mr. Lin to raise her hand and begged Mr. Lin to let my son go." Aunt Xue said, wiping her tears, as she anxiously got up from the chair. Standing up, fidgeting, "I know that my rebellious son almost killed the young master in Jinling, but our Xue family has such a single seedling, we really can't let it go!"

It was funny for Lin Ke to hear this. He didn't expect that the people related to Jia's family were all so top-notch.

"Mrs. Xue, what you said is embarrassing others. Although my father is the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, it is not up to him whether to let him go or not. It is the law of the country. If your son has never committed a crime, Surely he will be released, right? Besides, your family is not the only one in this world with only one son. A few years ago in Jinling, the young man your son was going to kill was also an only seedling. He was almost stoned by your servant. I was the only seedling who was killed, and the son of the Mei family who was insulted by your son as a young man was also the only seedling. You only allow the state officials to set fires, and you don’t allow the people to light lamps. Your family’s only seedlings are precious. Isn't he human?" Lin Ke said one by one, and what he said was justified, and Aunt Xue choked at once, stunned on the spot, and then lowered his voice, "Besides, the person is Prince Rui Who dares to beg for mercy if the prince sent it in, wouldn't he seek death?"

Mei Yan has put down the teacup now, and began to look at Aunt Xue carefully, as if she wanted to count how many wrinkles she has.

But Aunt Xue is an old man after all, and she didn't give up, she continued to mourn and whispered: "I know this is embarrassing you, I have no choice. A little meaning here is not a respect, just treat it as pocket money for your wife on weekdays. There is a gift from the old woman to the son, I beg him to be merciful, and I hope the son can take it for the old woman, and say a few words in front of the son."

As he said that, a servant from Xue's family came in early with two boxes, one big and one small, needless to say, he knew what was inside.

Mei Yan's eyes lit up all of a sudden, no one would dislike Yinzi, right?

Lin Ke didn't send someone to pick up the two boxes, but cast a mocking glance at Aunt Xue, raised a smile, walked to the side of the two boxes, opened the small one on top, and saw the piles of boxes. The bank notes of the son's Baotong Bank are all 1000 taels, and it is estimated that there must be at least a dozen or 20 taels.

Aunt Xue thought that Lin Ke opened the box with a smile on her face. She thought it was done, so she said, who doesn’t love money in this world, but she didn’t expect that Lin Ke would close it with a pity after reading it. He took out the box and walked back to the main seat.

"Mr. Lin, you..." Aunt Xue half stood up and asked anxiously.

Lin Ke said with a bit of pain: "Mrs. Xue, whoever puts so much money in front of you will want it. Unfortunately, our family is not blessed to accept it. If I take your money today, our family will die tomorrow." I will be impeached by the officials, and then it will not be your son who will go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but our family will go to prison for taking bribes. I am really sorry. See off!"

With a wave of Lin Ke's hand, he pulled Mei Yan away as if I could do nothing.

"Okay, Lin Ke, now that everyone is gone, we will implement according to the plan just now. Don't worry, I will share with you five to five." Mei Yan put Lin Ke on the shoulder with a smile as soon as he turned around the hanging flower door, " This money just makes up for my frustrated heart.”

Lin Ke sighed, slapped Mei Yan hard, threw the person aside, and said angrily: "You really think too much, the money is what the man in the palace is looking for, even if you get it, you will get it." It's none of our business at all."

"Eh? What's going on? Didn't you give me the idea just now? Why does it have something to do with that person in the palace?" Mei Yan followed up all of a sudden, full of surprise, "What the hell is going on? What? Tell me clearly?"

Lin Ke had no choice but to tell the truth under his nonsense, he was the emperor's man anyway, wasn't he?

"Do you think you can mess around in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice so easily? Do you think my father and your father really have such great power, watching you make a person with a minor crime in the prison so that he is not a ghost? It was all secretly acquiesced by the one in the palace. He had long been interested in the Xue family's fat, but he couldn't find a chance to do it, and this incident just gave him an excuse to kill the only male in the Xue family. Ding is just the beginning, and the next step is to slowly turn Xue's property into treasury money."

After all, Lin Ke ignored Mei Yan and waved, and a person hidden in the dark appeared in the sight of the two of them. Mei Yan recognized that it was the person in the Dark Night Pavilion.

"There is an alley from our house back to Jia's house. It is inaccessible all the year round. Let's do it there. The two boxes are the main purpose. Of course, don't let go of anything valuable, so that you are like a real robber. Remember, you must Pretend to be a little bit."

"Yes, this subordinate understands." With a blink of an eye, the person disappeared.

Mei Yan looked very dejected, rubbed the ground and said in a low voice: "I said, why do you, a good citizen, think of the robbery? It turned out that you used the Dark Night Pavilion to do things for the palace. I thought I could get more pocket money Money, it seems that I have tried my best. By the way, Xue’s family is almost all shops, what should you do next?”

Lin Ke's eyes darkened, thinking of some bad things: "Don't you know that I, An Ye Pavilion, specializes in doing things, and Xue Pan is still in our hands. As long as we have him, Xue's family is the ancestral house of Tianzhuang, not to mention the shop. I can also turn it into silver for him."

"Okay, I give up. When you go to grab that Lin Daiyu, call me, and we'll get fifty-five points, anyway, that's what their family owes you."

"My lord is a good citizen! But that's what their family owes me." With a slightly cruel look in his eyes, his eyebrows curved, he said in a deep voice, "And I will never allow others to owe me."
