Seeing Lin Xu having a full stomach and even burping, Song Changji finally couldn't help it anymore and started to talk about business.
"Mr. Lin, I heard that you rescued a mother and her son this morning, right?"
"Well, there is such a thing."
Lin Xu nodded, picked up an orange, peeled it and said with a smile: "Boss Song is really well-informed, he even knows this little thing."
"Haha, does Mr. Lin know who the mother and son you are helping are?"
Song Changji's tone was playful.
"I heard they are family members of the former Suzhou magistrate Jing Wenshan."
Lin Xu didn't pretend to be confused, and spoke frankly.
"Since you knew they were Jing Wenshan's family members, why did you help them?"
Song Changji was a little surprised. He originally thought that Lin Xu didn't know the identity of the mother and son, or that he was pretending not to know.
"They had no food and clothing, and were so destitute that they could only rely on a ten-year-old child to beg for a living. I happened to meet them, and out of compassion, I helped them. Is there any problem with this?"
Lin Xu said without humility or saying anything.
"They are the family members of criminals. When Mr. Lin helps them, isn't he afraid of being implicated?"
Song Changji also didn't hide it and asked directly.
"Implicated? Haha..."
Lin Xu smiled softly and said, "May I ask Boss Song, has the court convicted Jing Wenshan's family members?"
After hearing this, Song Changji couldn't help but be startled!
According to the common concept, the family members of the criminal are naturally guilty, but to be precise, the court did not convict Jing Wenshan's family.
However, Lin Xu's tone is somewhat similar to Zhou Changmin's!
In fact, he guessed from the beginning that the reason why Lin Xu supported Jingwenshan's family was probably related to Zhou Changmin, because Zhou Changmin did not support changing rice to mulberry, but Zhou Changmin was very diplomatic and sophisticated, even though he
I don't support it, but I don't object to it openly, and I won't be stupid like Jing Wenshan and write directly to the court. Regardless of what should be said or what shouldn't be said, everything is written in the memorial!
As a result, the emperor was furious, and Jing Wenshan was brought to the capital by the Jinyi guards and imprisoned on death row. His family property was confiscated, and his wife and a pair of children had no food and clothing. They lived on the streets and could only live in a dilapidated temple with a group of beggars.
Be company!
Although Zhou Changmin didn't say it explicitly, they all knew that Zhou Changmin sympathized with Jing Wenshan in his heart. If he couldn't help Jing Wenshan's family, it was entirely possible for him to ask Lin Xu to help.
Thinking of this, Song Changji couldn't help but feel a little more playful in his eyes.
"Mr. Lin is right. The court did not convict Jing Wenshan's family, but you helped Jing Wenshan's family so openly and even took his wife and children home. I'm afraid you will offend a big shot!"
Although Song Changji had a smile on his face, there was a hint of threat in his tone.
"May I ask Boss Song, who is the big shot?"
"Wang Hai, the eunuch in charge of Jiangnan Weaving Bureau! Is this a big shot?"
After saying this, Song Changji picked up the teacup and drank water. This chapter has been completed!
