The jade that pulls the red mansion is also crazy

Last time when it was mentioned that Lin Long and Jia Lian came back, Daiyu also knew about it. She expected him to go to the top to greet him first, so she waited for him leisurely reading a book. turn.Suddenly, I felt that my eyes were completely dark, but it was covered by a pair of hands, and I heard a voice deliberately thinned out behind me saying: "Guess who I am."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother."

Lin Long smiled and said, "You guess again."

Daiyu laughed and said, "It's not brother, it must be a ghost?"

Lin Long let go of her hand with a smile, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, my sister has become cunning!" She walked around in front of Daiyu, grabbed her hand, and said with a smile, "Let me see."

Daiyu got up obediently, and looked at him up and down. She hadn't seen him for a few months. Lin Long seemed to be tanned and taller than before. The physical and mental exhaustion of many days was swept away after seeing Daiyu. , so what Daiyu saw was only the corners of her mouth and smiling eyes filled with the joy of reunion, while Lin Long looked at Daiyu, but gradually frowned, and said, "Why are you so much thinner than when I left?" ?”

Then he reproached and said, "Are you not eating on time again?"

Daiyu smiled and shook her head, Lin Long suddenly thought of something, and said, "You should settle the score with Brother Thirteen! I told him that when I left, and he promised well, but he didn't do anything, and made you hungry again." Thin and slender, like hemp sticks, and trying to trick me into drinking good wine."

Daiyu hurriedly pulled him, stomped her feet and laughed angrily, "What did brother say, it's so disgusting, you're a nuisance!"

Lin Long smiled, took Daiyu's hand and sat down, the two sat opposite each other, speechless for a while, Yuyan asked for instructions from outside, and said: "The things brought back by the master, the boys have brought them, now wait at the door It's on."

Lin Long said, "Bring it in and tell them to be more careful", and when Yuyan went, Daiyu lowered her head and whispered, "Is everything alright over there?"

Lin Long smiled slightly and said: "It's all good, you don't have to worry, I also sent the name amulets of my father and mother to the Jingyue Temple and handed them over to Elder Hui Chan to keep them. You know that Jingyue Temple is It is the largest and most effective temple in the south of the Yangtze River, and Master Hui Chan is the most virtuous and respected. The name talisman spirit lamp that can be kept by him can last forever, and parents can also enjoy it for a long time. I don’t know much about those things, but it’s good that you understand.”

Daiyu nodded, and said in a low voice, "I've heard these words when I was young, so it's good." Her eyes got wet and she turned her head away.

Lin Long knew in her heart that these were just words of consolation, and they only made her feel better. Seeing Yu Yanxueyan and others coming with big and small bags, she hurriedly smiled at Daiyu: "This I went to Gusu once and brought back a lot of things, I distributed them all, and sent a copy to everyone in the house, which is also our intention."

Daiyu said: "Forget it." Lin Long then asked all the little girls from the Xiaoxiang Hall to be called, and to give them everything, for whom to give this way, who to give that way, and asked them to send them to each of them, although they were a little close The difference between distance and distance is not particularly obvious, which is very fair.

When Daiyu saw these things from her hometown, she couldn't help sighing and weeping again. Suddenly seeing that there were people like Aunt Zhao, she frowned slightly and said, "What are you going to do for them? Just give them, and it may not be true." It’s a good thing, but it’s just to show off and talk about it, what’s the point.”

Lin Long smiled and said: "You have such a weird heart. They like to show off, it's their business. We just don't show our closeness and let them talk about us in private." Daiyu didn't take it seriously, and said: "Who is afraid What do they say?" Lin Long was left to go.

For a while, Lin Long was puzzled because she didn't see Mo Qiao, so she asked, Xue Yan sneered at the side, "Mo Qiao is lucky, I don't serve the girl anymore, I go to Ba Ye's Lingfeng Residence instead."

Lin Long was stunned for a moment when she heard about the 'Eighth Master', and Daiyu said, "Yes, speaking of which, I'm about to interrogate you. How did you recruit this Buddha so well? I just can't understand him. If you didn't take the money from him earlier, I wouldn't have anything to say about that aura, or I wouldn't have asked him to stay."

Lin Long hurriedly asked the truth, thought for a long time in a daze, and thought to herself: It turns out that it is not some so-called businessman, but the eighth elder brother. It seems that they must have lied to me first by pretending to be their identities.Thinking about the reason, it suddenly dawned on me: Brother Thirteen said that the eighth elder brother had always been at odds with him, and that the eighth elder brother was so mysterious, probably because the thirteenth brother also lived in this garden. In order to monitor him, he might tell me To be honest, I decided not to rent it to him, so I did a scene like this.

But he also felt that he didn't do the good Lord Belle, just to get along with Shisan, it seemed that he shouldn't come all the way to live here, there should be other purposes.

Then he asked Daiyu, "Look at the eighth master living here, but did he do anything unusual?"

Daiyu said: "Who cares about them?" After thinking about it, she said: "It's just that I have heard faintly recently that the literati everywhere are all soldiers, and they dare not gather. Is it related to him?"

Lin Long frowned and said to herself: "On the way back, I also heard some rumors that soldiers were arresting literati everywhere and burning dozens of carts of books. I still don't believe it. Could it be true?"

So she felt restless and restless in her heart, so she forced a smile on Daiyu and said, "I'll go see Brother Thirteen, and I'll come back later." Daiyu also knew that he was concerned, and said, "Just leave it to you." After they were gone, Daiyu was just sorting out the stationery, paper and inkstone here, and after a while she saw a little girl from Li Wan's side coming to invite her.

It is said that because Lin Long was worried about the case of the 'literati', he was afraid that it would be the same as the 'rebellion' he had heard on the road. He was irritated, and before he had time to meet Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng and others, he wanted to ask Yin Xiang first to understand. Yinxiang was flipping through a file, frowning deeply, and when he saw Lin Long coming, he smiled a little, and hurriedly asked the girl to pour tea.

Lin Long couldn't care less about drinking tea, so she quickly asked, "I came back late, so I don't know much about the affairs here, what kind of literati rebellion, and what happened, please tell me."

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Yinxiang actually cared about this, so he had to tell him the truth, how Yinhu moved troops, how to seal the house, how to arrest suspicious people, how to imprison him, and how to burn books later, etc. Lin Long was dumbfounded when he was domineering, and at the end, Fang asked: "Then, have those people from Gu Yuezhai been arrested?"

Yinxiang didn't know what Gu Yuezhai was, looked at him suspiciously, frowned and said: "Every gathering place for literati is a sensitive place, no accident, you should be in prison now, but what does it have to do with you? "

Lin Long's face changed slightly, and she said softly, "Have you forgotten who I am? I know all these literati." Suddenly looking at Yinxiang, she hurriedly said, "Brother Thirteen, they are all righteous Gentlemen, I have no intention of committing chaos, I can guarantee it!"

After Yin Xiang heard this, his face changed suddenly. He looked around and said to Lin Long in a deep voice, "Second Brother, if there is any close friend of my starling near here, just based on your words, if he wants to investigate , is a felony! No matter what official position you are in or what history you have with them, you just need to remember that from now on, you have nothing to do with them, and their life and death have nothing to do with you! You have to remember! "

Lin Long was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yinxiang blankly, but at this moment, she saw a boy running over and said, "Eighth Master sent someone to speak, and he is waiting at the main entrance."

Yinxiang had no choice but to say, "Let him in."

Seeing Yinhu's personal entourage come in, he asked An to pay his respects, and said with a smile: "The eighth master has something to tell the younger one to come and tell the thirteenth master—" He looked at Lin Long without saying a word.

Yinxiang said: "Just say it, he is one of his own."

The kid didn't dare to disobey, so he had to say: "Ba Ye said that after several days of investigation and torture, the fact of the literati's rebellion has been confirmed, and there is no doubt about it. All government yamen, starting from Jinling, starting from today and today, have convicted and sentenced literati. At this moment, Jinling South Prison has been opened, and literati have been taken to the East Lake Tiankeng. Eighth Lord is on the way, and he will not be able to come back for a while. Please thirteen Grandpa immediately went to jail, and Baye said, after he comes back, it depends on the result."

The more Yinxiang listened, the more startled he became, and he had vaguely guessed Yinhu's intention, that is, to let him be the executioner, to be the witness and implementer of this bloody case. , someone came to report that the carriages and horses were ready, and asked Yinxiang to set off. Everyone was waiting for Yinxiang and observing his actions. Yinxiang suddenly felt that everything had been arranged. Apart from obeying the imperial order, There is no possibility of objection at all.

Lin Long was in a daze, and when Yinxiang was about to walk out of the door, she asked like a dream: "Brother Thirteen, are you really going?"

Yinxiang just stood there for a while, and said something irrelevant: "Wait for me to come back." Then he strode out.

East Lake is at the northernmost part of Jinling. The lake water is emerald green. The trees around the lake are green in three seasons. The lake surface is always covered with a layer of light mist. It is as beautiful as a fairyland. A huge and uncoordinated earth pit, extremely deep and extremely long. There are different opinions about the origin of this pit. Many people have made up countless absurd myths, such as bathing in Kowloon, Tiangong falling pestle, thunder and lightning fighting each other, etc., to prove this. Miracles are made by the gods in the sky, and the common people love to believe in them, so later generations named it 'Tiankeng'.

I don't want today's "Tiankeng" to be favored by interested people and make a different kind of altar. When Yinxiang arrived, the East Lake was surrounded by overwhelming people, and everyone talked about it endlessly. Beside the tiankeng is also full of people. These people no longer have the unrestrained and uninhibited temperament that was unique before being arrested. They are all wearing prison uniforms. After a few days of torture, many of them The clothes were tattered and torn, with blood stains on them, his head hung down, and his face was full of despair and dead silence.

The life of the common people may be too ordinary, the people waiting to see the good show are surrounded like iron barrels, the soldiers swiped their weapons, only to see that the crowd hastily parted a way, Yinxiang rode his horse in front , the local officials followed modestly and carefully. In front of the tiankeng, there was a temporary high platform, which was used as a prison platform, and there were heavy soldiers holding spears to guard it. Everyone surrounded Yinxiang and sat on the top of the prison platform. Yours sincerely Tea.

After an appointment for a cup of tea, the boy came over and whispered in the county magistrate's ear for a while. The official gave a cold 'hmm', turned his head, and smiled humbly and obsequiously: "Master Thirteen, the time has come. You see."

Yinxiang looked at the tea noodles and nodded. When the county magistrate wanted to speak, he heard someone outside the crowd yelling, 'Wait! ', couldn't help being startled, looking down, there was a commotion among the people, one person pushed them in, his face was flushed, his chest was panting, Yinxiang saw that Lin Long had come, his face changed slightly, and he stood up involuntarily.

The soldiers were afraid of chaos, so they immediately took precautions, and stepped forward to block them with weapons. The county magistrate didn't see clearly from a distance, and said angrily: "Boldly disturbing the people, dare to break into the execution ground! Are you going to die!"

Quickly got up, nodded to Yinxiang and bowed his hands and said: "I am surprised, brother, please don't worry, the next official will definitely treat him—"

Not wanting to finish his sentence, Yinxiang shouted decisively: "Shut up!" The county magistrate immediately fell silent and dared not speak again.

Seeing that Yinxiang actually walked off the stage and stopped in front of Lin Long, Lin Long's eyes were blood red at the moment, and his eyes did not blink. Looking at the crowd about to be executed, Yinxiang was startled by such eyes, and finally said : "Second brother, don't be stupid!"

Lin Long didn't seem to have heard his words, she stared with blood-red eyes, involuntarily walked towards the dejected crowd, the soldiers didn't know what to do, looked at Yinxiang, and then at the officials on the stage , the county magistrate was shocked, and in desperation, he quickly shouted to the soldiers: "You bunch of idiots, you are still standing there in a daze!"

The soldiers suddenly realized, and hurried to intercept, but seeing Yinxiang's sharp eyes, they were all shocked, and they didn't dare to move, and the county magistrate didn't dare to speak anymore.

The restless people seemed to be stunned by this scene. No one made a sound, and the surroundings were as quiet as dead. The breeze blew Lin Long's gown fluttering, and a moist breath floated from the water. It blinded his eyes and made the emotions inside even more rampant. He silently walked in front of those sinners, stood there stupidly, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

A ragged but handsome literati suddenly smiled and said, "I see."

"My lord, you gave us confidence, you encouraged us to make a difference, you said that the world is for the public, so we don't have to worry too much, it was you who encouraged us to show our inner talents, you made us believe in you, you said If one day, when you are so prosperous, you will let our light shine in the world, and you said that you will let children read the real history books written by us, sir, we believe in you, but what happened.”

Lin Long faltered for a moment, his chest seemed to be weighed down by a huge boulder. His eyes swept over familiar faces, Shangguan Yunjing, Fu Qiuhuai, Pang Zhiliu, Long Yuxian, Nie Qing...they were all talented, With a broad mind, the scene of joking with these literati suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. These words were what he said at that time, and they were his true thoughts.

He still remembers how much shock these people had brought to his soul, just as he once described to Daiyu, "From them, I can really look up to a spiritual realm, which is so strange and victorious, It makes people yearn for'. Before that, he always thought that any rebellion or execution was just a joke, but he really saw these people who were admired and worshiped by him in the past were put in chains and pushed like animals. After pushing and shoving, he realized how naive his thoughts were, and finally realized the cruelty of the current situation.

"My lord, you lied to us. It turns out that you are in the same group. The so-called long career is just a trick by your lord to lure us into a trap."

This sentence, which someone said, was like a needle, piercing deeply into Lin Long's heart. He suddenly raised his head, and dozens of pairs of disappointed and resentful eyes stared at him, making him overwhelmed, and his blood rushed at this moment On the other hand, Lin Long gritted her teeth, and after a while, said: "I want to save you! I will save you!"

Then he strode to Yinxiang's side and said tremblingly, "I'll beg Lord Baylor, and I'll let him take back his life! The fast horse can only take two hours at most, don't execute the execution, wait for me to come back!"

Yinxiang frowned, grabbed him, and said, "Second brother! Don't be stupid! Impossible!"

Lin Long suddenly bowed down on one knee, and said, "I beg you, if Brother Thirteen still recognizes me as a younger brother, please promise me!"

Yinxiang's heart was shocked, he couldn't say anything more, he flicked his sleeves, turned around, and said coldly: "If you insist on going, then go."

Lin Long was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Thirteenth Brother!" He staggered out of the crowd, got on his BMW, whipped him hard, and headed south.

The fast horse was galloping, the wind was blowing past the ears, the throat was whistling, and it was as sharp as a knife. Lin Long didn't pay any attention to it, and there was only one voice in her heart: hurry up, go faster.

All the way at high speed, as if at high speed, after half an hour, I saw a large number of luxuriously dressed attendants guarding a restaurant. Lin Long saw that there was no business near the restaurant. .

Then he got off his horse and inquired for a while, as expected, he was about to go up immediately, but the boys tried their best to stop him. Seeing that Lin Long was also well dressed, he knew which young master it must be, so he asked what was the matter and informed him on his behalf.

Yinhu heard that someone asked to see him, but he didn't want to see him at first. When he heard the kid say, "It's the one who rented the yard to the master", he thought for a moment, and he had a good impression of Lin Long. This party called "Please come in", and it's up to you." Serve tea'.

Lin Long came in and met him once. Seeing him panting, Yinhu was in a hurry, so he was slightly surprised, and smiled, "I know you, you don't mean to tell me to move out, do you?"

Lin Long squeezed out a smile, calmed down her anxious mood, and said, "Where is Lord Baylor? I just heard my sister say that Lord Baylor moved in. I'm glad you don't want to move, I would like to ask Master Baylor to stay longer, but I am afraid that Master will not show his face."

After hearing this, Yinhu felt joy in his heart, and said with a smile, "You really can talk." After thinking for a while, he said leisurely, "However, you came in such a hurry, maybe it's just to tell me these things? "
