Bai Song carefully laid Xiang'er's body flat, pecked her pretty face gently, and then stood up with satisfaction.
Then he quietly left Xiang'er's room, carefully walking all the way to the east yard.
The night was deep, the lights were turned off in several rooms in the east courtyard, and snoring could be faintly heard.
Bai Song shook open the cloth bag he had prepared in advance and tried it with his eyes covered. After making sure he couldn't see anyone, he flowed into Lin Xun's room through the window.
The faint moonlight shines through the window, illuminating the faint outline of the furnishings in the house.
Bai Song put one foot on the table by the window and before the next foot touched the ground, he suddenly found something on the ground. He was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
I saw a naked body with a big character open, and the moonlight happened to fall on it, so I could see it very clearly.
This person is actually Lin Xun!
Bai Song was so frightened that he thought Lin Xun was killed by a thief.
But the next second, he saw Lin Xunji swaying and saying vaguely: "Madam, try harder..."
"Why does this sound so strange?"
Bai Song really didn't understand the scene in front of him. He looked at Lin Xun's feet and hands again.
He was actually tied up by the God of Ma, with whips and sticks placed next to his bare body...
"Good boy... you little brat is quite good at playing, isn't he?"
Bai Song sneered and stopped staying. He entered the house and untied Lin Xun first, and was about to put the kid into a cloth bag.
The boy suddenly opened his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking. He rubbed himself against Bai Song like a loach, muttering something like "Madam", "Master", "Don't let go" and so on.
Bai Song was almost nauseated and punched this kid in front of him.
His hands were numb from the beating, but the boy actually said oh.
Today was an eye-opener. I first blocked his mouth, then used a cloth bag to cover his whole body, then kicked him in the lower abdomen and hit him directly on his shoulder.
Bai Song slipped out of the window, and it was only at this moment that Lin Xun inside realized that something was wrong and began to struggle desperately.
Bai Song ignored him. This kid was young and had a small body, so he could carry it on his shoulders effortlessly.
It wasn't until they reached the stable in the backyard that Bai Song put the thing down.
Without any explanation, the kid was beaten with punches and kicks until he was unconscious. Then he threw him into the stable, where the horses snorted and there was a commotion.
After doing all this, Bai Song was ready to leave, but the thought was not enough. He walked to the edge of the stable and whispered: "Remember, Bai Song is the one who beats you! Don't mess with me in the future!"
"
…
Before dawn, there was a commotion in the Lin Mansion.
When the family's coachman came to feed the horses, he found that Master Lin had been beaten half to death and thrown into the stable.
Lin Tingzheng rushed to the backyard without even wearing any clothes.
At this moment, Lin Xun had been carried out of the stable, and was wrapped under a quilt with a bruised nose and swollen face. His mouth was livid, his face was bloodless, and he was still shaking.
Next to it is a black cloth bag from last night, carrying hay and stench from the stable, as well as a pile of horse manure.
"Who is it?! Who dares to seriously hurt me!"
This was the only son of the Lin family. Seeing his desolation, Lin Ting was so angry that he jumped around in the courtyard.
Everyone cowered and no one dared to speak out.
The young master of the Lin family dared to fight, who could have such courage?
The coachman stepped forward and tremblingly told everything about this morning. He only saw the young master half dead in the stable, but he didn't know what happened.
"Report to the official! Report to the official! Go and ask the doctor to come back!"
After a shout, the servants all dispersed.
Lin Tingzheng came to his son, patted his face gently, and asked in a low voice: "Son..."
"Dad..." Lin Xun cried and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Who is it? Who beat you like this?"
"Yes...it's Bai Song..."
"Bai Song!"
Hearing these two words, Lin Tingzheng was shocked, strode to the door of the woodshed, and kicked the door.
At this moment, Bai Song was drinking porridge with his sister, when they heard a loud bang on the door, startling the two brothers and sisters.
"Mr. Lin... what are you..."
"Come here! Beat this guy to death!"
Before Bai Song could react, four servants rushed in and directly pushed Bai Song to the ground.
"father!"
Lin Xiang'er naturally noticed such a huge formation outside. She ran over and was shocked when she saw that Bai Song was being held down.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"This guy is so brave. He dares to hit my son, Lin Tingzheng!"
"What?" Lin Xiang'er, "Dad, what on earth is going on?"
"Your brother was almost beaten to death by this guy last night!"
"What did dad say? Bai Song was with his daughter last night. How could he..."
"What did you say?"
Xiang'er knew that she had spilled the beans, her face turned red, she lowered her head and muttered, "Anyway, Bai Song can't beat his brother anyway. He...he doesn't have the guts either..."
"Ahem..." Butler Liu, who was accompanying him, coughed twice, "The most important thing now is to take good care of the young master. There are some things that I still need to ask clearly."
"Mr. Lin, it's impossible for me to deal with Young Master Lin. I don't know anything! If Young Master Lin is injured, I can help treat him."
First of all, no one believed this.
A son-in-law from a poor family attacked Master Lin in the middle of the night?
This is nonsense.
How can there be such a bold person in the world?
Who in the entire Mang County does not know the status of Master Lin?
Even the county magistrate did not dare to do anything to Master Lin.
A little son-in-law from a poor family is already very bold if he doesn't grovel in front of Master Lin. How can he beat Master Lin?
This matter all depends on Master Lin's words.
His head was covered with a cloth bag and he couldn't see anything. How could he possibly know the perpetrator?
Anyone with some intelligence will know that there are still many strange things about this matter.
Lin Ting was overwhelmed with anger. Now that he calmed down a little, he felt that things were a little weird.
"You, hurry up and treat Xun'er. If you can cure Xun'er, I can forget about today's incident."
Bai Song nodded, with a submissive look, and followed everyone back to Lin Xun's house.
The member of Lin Xun's family was crying bitterly beside the bed. When he saw Bai Song, he rushed over and pinched Bai Song's neck.
"Stop making trouble! The most important thing now is to cure Xun'er. We can't make any hasty conclusions until the matter is clear."
"Dad, my husband-in-law said it was Bai Song who beat him."
At this moment, Lin Xun was quite awake on the bed. When he saw Bai Song coming, he was so frightened that he struggled violently: "Don't...don't come here...don't hit me."
"Master Lin, I never left the lady's yard last night, how could I come to beat you?"
"Dad! Save me..."
Lin Tingzheng frowned: "Xun'er, why do you insist that it was Bai Song who committed the murder?"
"He said it himself! I...I still remember...he...he said, remember, it was Bai Song who beat you! It's him, it's him!"
Bai Song quickly defended: "The murderer covered Master Lin's head because he didn't want to reveal his identity. How can he admit his identity after beating someone? Master Lin, this is obviously framed. This matter should be reported to the government.
!”
At this time, Lin Xiang'er was communicating quietly with her mother outside the house.
Xiao Xiang'er's expression was serious at first, then her face became redder and redder, and Mother Lin's expression also changed one after another.
"Mom, you have to tell daddy clearly about this."
Mother Lin slapped Xiang'er hard on the palm of her hand and said harshly: "You!"
After saying that, he entered the room with a sullen face, walked up to Lin Tingzheng's ear, and spoke for a long time.
Lin Ting was listening to the words, his expression changed continuously.
We still have to wait for the officials to come and inquire about the truth of the matter.
By chance, Magistrate Chai came in person.
This matter is related to Master Lin's safety, and Magistrate Chai does not dare to neglect it at all.
This matter is a bit complicated, and Lin Ting just doesn't want it to spread.
Naturally, Magistrate Chai County knew this very well, so he did not wear official uniform.
Turning to the main hall, Lin Ting was pulling away everyone around him. He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that a gangster was caught in the city yesterday?"
Magistrate Chai nodded: "That's right."
Then he lowered his voice: "And that gangster seems to be related to the Lin family?"
"Nonsense, how could my son, Lin Tingzheng, be with the gangsters..."
"Of course." Magistrate Chai interrupted with a smile, "That's just a one-sided statement made by a gangster. Mr. Lin doesn't need to take it seriously."
Magistrate Chai said it very politely, but he had already verified Lin Tingzheng's idea.
His own Xun'er really wanted to deal with Bai Song.
"When Bai Song was attacked, and he held a grudge, would he mistakenly think that it was Xun'er who committed the crime, so he would commit murder in the middle of the night to take revenge?"
"This matter depends on what Mr. Lin is thinking... But, the gangster has a group of men, and their eldest brother was arrested by the government. They dare not go to rob the prisoner. Will the debt be placed on Mr. Lin's head?"
Lin Tingzheng said nothing and slowly narrowed his eyes.
After calming down, Lin Ting did not believe that Bai Song had done this.
Even Magistrate Chai's conjecture is not credible, but compared with what Bai Song did, Magistrate Chai's conjecture is not impossible.
Xiang'er made it very clear that Bai Song was so frightened last night that he pestered Xiang'er and hid in Xiang'er's boudoir all night.
Xiang'er would rather compromise her innocence, so she would definitely not lie.
And no one in the world would be so stupid as to report his name after sneak-attacking someone.
No matter how you think about it, it doesn't seem like Bai Song did this.
Lin Tingzheng nodded, having already made up his mind: "Master Chai, I am sure you will make the decision for my son and make these villains pay the price for causing harm to our hometown."
"Don't worry, this matter is not only related to the safety of Master Lin, but also to the safety of the people in this area. I will never sit idly by and ignore it. It's getting late, so I will leave first."
After seeing Magistrate Chai off, Lin Tingzheng returned to Lin Xun's room.
Lin Xun was still crying in the room and refused to stop for a moment.
Bai Song walked up to Lin Tingzheng pitifully: "Mr. Lin, I was wronged. Someone must have framed me."
Lin Tingzheng didn't say anything, closed his eyes and meditated.
"Master Lin refused to let me see a doctor, but I have a medicine here, so I asked my servant to secretly mix the medicine. After a few days of recovery, I will come back to apologize to Master Lin."
"Go ahead. I'm not a fool. I know this matter has nothing to do with you."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you, Mr. Lin... My son-in-law also has an unkind invitation."
"What's the matter?"
"Right now, Mr. Lin has a deep prejudice against his son-in-law. I hope Mr. Lin can allow his son-in-law to be Mr. Lin's companion for a period of time, and take this opportunity to repair the relationship between my son-in-law and Mr. Lin."
