Jia Min's Counterattack

Lin Ruhai sat on the grand teacher's chair in the hall, took the hands of brothers Lin Lang and Lin Teng, and said kindly: "Your mother took medicine yesterday and today, and there is nothing serious now, and your brother is also very good. No more trouble with your mother! Lang'er, your body has just recovered, you'd better recuperate in your room for a while, and if you're bored, let Lu'er come over to accompany you!"

"But I'm worried about mother, I want to see mother with my own eyes!" Lin Lang frowned, looking at Lin Ruhai expectantly.

"You are worried about your mother, so you have to do what you can. If you run to Ting Lanyuan regardless of this, if your newly recovered body is exhausted because of this, what do you make your mother think? She will feel distressed Are you sad? Your mother is very weak now. You should be more considerate of her, try to let her worry less, and take good care of her body. When the time comes, I will visit your mother again. She will see that you are in good health. Maybe when you're happy, your body will get better too?"

Both Lin Lang and Lin Yu were silent, and after a while, Lin Yu said: "Brother, why don't you write a small note to your mother, and I will take it for you when I visit your mother later. This will also let mother know that you are fine, so mother can rest assured!"

Lin Lang looked at Lin Yu and then at Lin Ruhai, and seeing that Lin Ruhai was also smiling and nodding, he ordered Dalin to prepare a pen and ink to write a note for Jia Min.

They were talking about writing a note, but Lin Lang actually wrote a full page of letter paper, all of which were words to comfort and make Jia Min happy.If Lin Teng hadn't stopped him, Lin Lang might have written another full page.

Lin Ruhai and Lin Biao left Songyuan with some letters from Lin Lang to Jia Min. Before leaving, Lin Ruhai told Dalin and the others to take good care of Lin Lang, let him live in Songyuan to take care of his health, and was not allowed to leave Songyuan for half a step.Lin Lang called his father too cunning, and saw his little thoughts thoroughly. Now that there are four door gods watching him, it is impossible for him to go out to visit Jia Min quietly!Lin Lang looked at the back of his father and second brother leaving with resentment, sighed helplessly, and obediently went back to the inner room to lie down and rest.

The next day, Xu Tongsan from Yingtianfu came to Lin Ruhai and told Lin Ruhai that Master Xue had committed suicide last night.In the current Yingtian Mansion, the new magistrate has not taken office yet, and it is estimated that he will not arrive until after the beginning of spring, and it will be the end of February at the earliest, so Xu Tongpan is still in charge of the affairs of Yingtian Mansion.

It is said that the person who came to take over was Lin Ruhai's same year and good friend, Li Jifan, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and his wife was the daughter of the Xie family in Wuyi Lane, who had always had a good relationship with Jia Min.Li Jifan left the capital with Lin Ruhai six years ago to go to work abroad. Lin Ruhai went to Jiangnan, and he went to his hometown in Shanxi.Over the years, the Lin family and the Li family have been in constant contact. Under Lin Ruhai's guidance, Li Jifan has also reclaimed the unowned wasteland under his jurisdiction, planted many local fruit trees, and also improved the life of the farmers. improvement.Later, he was lucky enough to find a coal mine with huge reserves, so he was rewarded by the emperor.The emperor valued Li Jifan's ability, so he transferred Li Jifan to Jinling as the prefect of Yingtianfu.

"Lord Lin, look, this is the blood book left by Erlang Xue!" Xu Tongpan handed Lin Ruhai a mahogany box in his hand.

Lin Ruhai took the mahogany box and opened it, and took out the bloody book written in a white coat inside to read.The second master Xue above confessed to the crime of instigating Aunt Zhen Jiamiao to poison Lin Lang, and expressed deep apologies to Lin Ruhai, hoping that Lin Ruhai could let his family go because of his good attitude of pleading guilty, and promised that in the future The Xue family will avoid living in the countryside and will never appear in front of the Lin family again.

After Lin Ruhai finished reading the blood book, he said with a mocking smile, "He's pretty much dead!"

Xu Tongpan didn't know the meaning of Lin Ruhai's words, he carefully looked at Lin Ruhai's face, thinking about how to respond.

"Forget it! Just let his concubine and two children go. They are all dead. If I insist on taking action against the orphan and widow, I'm afraid I will be scolded by someone poking my spine. !” Lin Ruhai said coldly.

"Actually, as a rule, someone who has no fame poisons the son of the royal princess will exterminate the family!" Xu Tongjuan reminded Lin Ruhai in a low voice.

"No need! Just let the mother and child go when you go back, and treat it as accumulating virtue for the child in my wife's womb!" Lin Ruhai flatly refused.

Xu Tongpan laughed and said: "It turns out that Princess Huigui is pregnant again. This is a great thing to celebrate. I congratulate Mr. Lin!"

"Thank you, Mr. Xu! It's the New Year's Eve, and Mr. Xu has been troubled!" Lin Ruhai also said with a rare smile.

"Lord Lin, you're out of touch now, isn't it? Without your support, how could I have the glory of today! The kindness that Lord Lin has shown to me, I have always kept in mind, and I only hope that I can serve Master Lin like a dog and a horse." labor!"

"It's because of your own ability, otherwise I wouldn't trust you to use you! My wife and children are both sick, so I won't leave Mr. Xu to stay longer!"

"Your Majesty Lin, you are being polite! Then the subordinate official will leave first, and the yamen is still waiting for the subordinate official to deal with matters!"

After Xu Tongpan knew what Lin Ruhai meant, he didn't stay any longer and went back to the Yingtian government office.They let the rest of Xue's family go back, and met Xiao Wang in person, beat her up a bit, and successfully saw Xiao Wang's legs trembling with fright, unable to speak, so he was satisfied and let the yamen guard take her away. She dragged out of Yingtian Mansion.

Xu Tongpan couldn't figure out why the Xue family was against the Lin family.Back then, he tried to kill Lin Lang under the eyes of everyone, but his reputation was ruined after he failed, and Xiao Wang was even demoted from his wife to a concubine because of this.Now they are still poisoning Lin Lang under the eyes of everyone. Even if Lin Lang died of the poison because he was not treated in time, what good would the Xue family have left?They don't think that they do things seamlessly, so they can't be found out!Such a clumsy method is not at all like something done by the legendary little master Zhuge Xue!

Xue Tongpan knew that there was something strange about it, but he also knew that these things were not something he could know, and he was very smart not to investigate the truth. He knew that too much curiosity would make people fall into trouble and cannot extricate themselves.Although Xu Tongpan has Lin Ruhai's trust in official affairs, he also knows that he is not Lin Ruhai's confidant, so he shouldn't know, and he will never say anything more.
