Married Thrice to Salted Fish

When Gu Fuzhou was buried, the coffin was transported on a roller whale cart, escorted by Shi Pei, Wu Zhan and others all the way to the imperial mausoleum, where he was buried at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, as a metaphor for the eternal sleep with the king.After that, Lin Qingyu personally sent the spiritual tablet set up for Gu Fuzhou two years ago to the Taimiao Temple, where he can enjoy the incense of future generations forever.

On this day, all the officials above rank five in the imperial court entered the palace to send Gu Fuzhou off for the last time.After watching the ceremony at the Taimiao, Shi Pei, Wu Guogong, Wu Zhan, and Shen Huaishi left the palace together.Gu Fuzhou was the closest to them during his lifetime, and now they reunited at Gu Fuzhou's funeral, and naturally talked about the general's last wish.

"The general wants Lord Lin to remarry?" Wu Zhan was taken aback, "Brother Shen, are you sure you heard it right?"

Shen Huaizhi is not good at lying.In order to be able to tell this lie well, he has practiced a lot in private, but when it really comes to deceiving people, his expression is still a little uncomfortable: "I, sure."

Fortunately, Shi Pei believed in his words: "The general has a deep affection for Mr. Lin, and I am not surprised that he would say such a thing."

Shen Huaizhi nodded seriously: "Yes."

Wu Zhan couldn't understand: "If I die, I definitely hope that my mother-in-law will guard me for the rest of my life. When I think that there will be another man who can hold her after I die, and my son will still call that man Daddy, I will probably be very angry." come over."

Shi Pei sighed: "The general is not you. Mr. Lin is cold-tempered and unwilling to socialize with others. He doesn't even have a friend who can drink at the same table. The general is afraid that after he leaves, Mr. Lin will die alone without anyone to accompany him. "

Shen Huaizhi quickly echoed: "The general also said that if Mr. Lin really dies alone, he won't die in peace."

Mr. Wu Guo said in a rough voice: "It's easy to handle. The one in my family likes to be a matchmaker for others. I asked her to find out if there is any suitable family in Beijing that is suitable for Mr. Lin—in other words, Mr. Lin is going to marry this time or is he going to marry him?" ah?"

Shi Pei smiled wryly: "It's too early for the Duke to say this. The general's bones are not cold, so you are trying to find a relative for Mr. Lin. If this gets out, what will others think of Mr. Lin? At least, wait for Mr. Lin to finish his life." Let's talk about it in one year of filial piety."

After the news of Gu Fuzhou's death reached the capital, the rumors about Lin Qingyu's unidentified Kefu became rampant again.Lin Qingyu was very happy to marry Lu Wancheng. Although Lu Wancheng lived an extra year, the Lu family was almost ruined.Later, he remarried to Gu Fuzhou, but within two years, the invincible general was defeated by him and died in one battle.

Lin Qingyu has a cold demeanor, but his appearance is bright and charming.Such a beauty, even if she didn't do anything, could attract countless gossips just by her face, not to mention that she had actually killed two husbands, yet she was able to control the power, as the chief assistant.There are very outrageous words, saying that he blamed his family first, and the army second, and the next time he blamed the country.Dayu was afraid that he would perish in the hands of his "monster".It's just that due to Lin Qingyu's power, no one dared to discuss it openly.

Duke Wu only wanted to let Gu Fuzhou die in peace, so he forgot about it for a moment, patted his head and said, "Look at my brain, I'm getting old."

Shen Huaizhi thought about it and probed: "There is no rush for this matter. But the Duke can take advantage of this year to find suitable candidates for Mr. Lin."

Wu Zhan still felt awkward, and said angrily, "Except for the general, I don't think anyone in this court is worthy of Lord Lin."

Several people were talking, when a voice sounded behind them: "Generals."

Wu Zhan turned around: "Oh, Master Li."

Li Chan saluted several people one by one, and said, "I just heard from below that Mr. Shen said that General Gu wants Master Lin to remarry?"

"Yes." Wu Zhan scratched his head, "I don't know what he thinks, alas."

Li Chan's heart moved, a vague hope rose, and then he spurned his own despicableness and shamelessness. "What General Wu said is very true. Except for General Gu, no one is worthy of Master Lin."

Shen Huaizhi hesitated to speak: "Actually..."

"Master Guo, General Shi, General Wu, Mr. Shen, please stop." Xiao Songzi trotted all the way, catching up with them, "Master Lin, please go to Dali Temple."

Shi Pei asked: "Dali Temple? Master Lin asked us to go there for what?"

Shen Huaizhi shook his head, expressing that he didn't know either.

Wu Zhan said "Oh": "I know, I know, it should be because of that."

Li Chan couldn't help asking, "Don't I have to go?"

Xiao Songzi smiled and said, "No need, Lord Lin only invited these four adults."

When the four arrived at Dali Temple, Lin Qingyu was already waiting for them there.

"As I said, I will give an explanation to the officers and men in the Northwest regarding the robbing of grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River." Lin Qingyu said, "At the moment when General Gu is buried in peace, let's settle this matter."

Several people looked at each other.Shi Peidao: "Master Lin, what you mean is that the grain and grass were robbed by Xixia that day, and there is something else hidden in it?"

Wu Zhan said: "At that time, we were afraid of disturbing your morale, so we didn't tell you. The thing is like this..."

The four of them followed Lin Qingyu to a water prison.Water torture is one of Dayu's tortures. There is a reservoir on the upper floor of the water prison. Once it is operated, the prisoners will suffer from drowning.When the limit is reached, it will give him a chance of life again, so repeated, making life worse than death.

Xi Rong's lower body was soaked in the water, her whole body was drenched, her long hair stuck to her pale and swollen face, when she heard the sound of footsteps, she narrowed her eyes and looked at the person with difficulty.For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating: "Lin Qingyu...?"

Shi Pei was considered half a Confucian general, with a gentle temperament, but at this moment his eyes were tearing apart, wishing he could tear Xi Rong into pieces: "It's you, an eunuch... that caused us to have no food and we had to forcibly attack the city. Yes You have caused General Gu..."

Lin Qingyu said: "General Shi."

Lin Qingyu stopped it too late, Xi Rong had already guessed something, and said with great interest, "Is Gu Fuzhou dead or disabled?"

Wu Zhan yelled: "You son of a bitch, what face do you have to mention General Gu's name!"

Xi Rong smiled, and there was still a faint trace of the femininity and beauty of the past on her face: "I mentioned it, how does Master Lin want to deal with me? Except castration, waterboarding, what else have I never been subjected to."

Lin Qingyu said: "I heard from Dali Temple Secretary that you still refuse to plead guilty."

"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. I have nothing to say." Xi Rong said calmly, "But, I never felt that I was wrong."

Duke Wu was so angry that his beard trembled: "You are still stubborn when you are about to die!"

"Lin Qingyu despises the emperor, relying on the military power in the hands of the husband, covering the sky with one hand above the court, calling the wind and rain, and ignoring the emperor. What's wrong with me eradicating the traitors for the emperor?"

Shi Pei tremblingly said: "Just because you colluded with Xixia, tens of thousands of soldiers died under Yongliang City, do you still think you are right?"

Xi Rong seemed to have heard some joke: "It's not wrong for Lin Qingyu to seek power. I just did the same thing as him. Why did I make a mistake? Even if there was a mistake, it was because I miscalculated once and lost everything."

Wu Zhan scolded: "Tit for tat, bitch, this is your retribution!"

"Retribution? Heh." Xi Rong looked at Lin Qingyu and sneered, "If there is really retribution in the world, why is Master Lin standing here safe and sound? The blood on Master Lin's hands may not be less than mine."

Shen Huaizhi frowned: "Nonsense."

"Whether you're talking nonsense or not, Mr. Lin knows better than anyone else." Xi Rong smiled cruelly, "The mad Liang family of Nan'an Houfu, Lu Qiaosong who died tragically, Lu Niantao in the cold palace, and Concubine Chen, the former prince Xiao Teng... Which one?" Didn’t it fall on your hands? Even these people standing beside you, how much sincerity do you have for them, but you are only willing to look at them more because they are useful, right? "

Lin Qingyu looked at him expressionlessly.

"Lin Qingyu, you are cold, indifferent, selfish, you want to live if you love, and you want to die if you are evil. What do you think you are better than me? We are just the same kind of people. If I want to be punished, I must You are also indispensable. Look, Gu Fuzhou died right away. The retribution you deserved was all retribution on the person you love. Lu Wancheng, Gu Fuzhou... who will be next?"

Shen Huaizhi looked at Lin Qingyu, and saw that the other party's eyes were calm, as if he didn't take Xi Rong's words seriously.

Wu Zhan spat: "It's really cheap for him to die. He should live in a water prison for the rest of his life. He can't survive, he can't die!"

Lin Qingyu said calmly: "This person is entrusted to you to deal with. There are still things in the palace, so I will not accompany you."

Shen Huai asked: "Master Lin?"

Lin Qingyu strode away from the water prison as if he didn't hear, leaving several people looking at each other in blank dismay.

Xi Rong closed her eyes slowly, and said with a low smile, "This is what you are most afraid of. You also have weaknesses. It's a pity..."

It's a pity that Lin Qingyu's weakness is also the hardest thing in the world.The soft underbelly will protect Lin Qingyu and become the armor protecting Lin Qingyu.But the weakness of other people is just a weakness that hinders them.

Lin Qingyu returned to the palace, had dinner with Jiang Xing, and then reviewed the playbook as usual, and there was nothing wrong with it.Jiang Xing vaguely sensed that his mood was not right, asked him and he said he was fine, and told Jiang Xing to go to bed early, so don't bother him to read the playbook.

In the middle of the night, Jiang woke up to drink water at night, and suddenly saw a beautiful woman sitting beside the bed, and asked in a daze, "Qing Yu?"

"It's me." Lin Qingyu lifted the quilt, took the initiative to get on the bed, and slipped into Jiang Xing's arms.

Jiang Xing was overwhelmed by the flattery, but he didn't forget to tease: "The pretty little widow doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, so she came to climb into my bed?"

Lin Qingyu didn't laugh, but said softly, "Jiang Xing."

"Oh, I knew you had a problem, but you still said it's okay." Jiang Xing pulled the quilt up to cover Lin Qingyu's shoulders, and resisted his sleepiness, "Tell me baby, who provoked you?"

Lin Qingyu opened his eyes and asked, "Do you believe that a tit for tat?"

Jiang Xing simply said: "If you don't believe it, don't believe it either."

"But, what if there really is? It's because I have done all kinds of evil things that... I made you suffer from the poisonous poison and the pain of thousands of arrows piercing through your heart?" Lin Qingyu said helplessly, "Although I despise the world , but I like you - can't I?"
