Chapter Thirty-eight There is a villain in the dark
Because of Lin Jingzhi's words, the old lady Lin completely gave up on Lin Lizhi, so she sent her to a villa outside the city to live. When she left, she included Lin Lizhi's biological mother, Aunt Zhen, and Lin Lizhi's
Several concubines accompanied them together.
Lin Lizhi's fall caused a certain sensation in the Lin Mansion, and this is not the end, because Mr. Lin replaced a large number of servants, and the reason is very simple, nothing more than
It is because the people who sold them stood in the wrong team at some point and are no longer suitable to stay in Lin Mansion to serve as a job.
Although this is a family matter in the Lin family, because the noise is too loud, it is not difficult for outsiders to find out clearly. After this news fell into the ears of Tian Ji and others, they would naturally think that the two brothers of Lin Jingzhi were not in harmony. In this era,
There will be scenes of competing for family property in wealthy courtyards from time to time. Which family will not die?
So Tian Ji and others guessed that if Lin Jingzhi knew what his brother had done, he would definitely take this opportunity to completely get rid of Lin Lizhi. Now that the Lin family still has an old lady Lin in charge, Lin Jingzhi cannot be in person
He started, so he settled down and sought the next best way. The best way to put it in front of Lin Jingzhi was to report to the officials and use the government's hands to achieve his own goals.
After figuring this out, Lin Jingzhi was shocked. It seemed that Tian Ji had really spent a lot of effort to acquire the Lin family's property.
"Second Master, I wonder which village in the mansion in the city is outside the city? If it is inconvenient for you to investigate, you can leave it to the villain." Huo Gengsheng couldn't hide his excitement when he said this.
Before coming, the above told him that among these two things, as long as he could persuade Lin Jingzhi to report to the official for one of them, there would be a reward of 100 taels of silver!
Although he was a entitled to the official business, he only had 300 cents a month. This hundred taels of silver was a great fortune for him.
"Second Master, it's not a trivial matter to force a robbery of a minority girl. If the third master really does such a bad thing, it's better to send it to the government." Yu Mo, who stood behind Lin Jingzhi, suddenly spoke, and then secretly looked at Lin Jingzhi.
Blinking, he said, "But this matter must be investigated clearly, otherwise it would be bad if the third master's reputation was devastated. I remember that the butler sent the third master away at the beginning. Why not call the butler to ask.
Ask, let’s see how many concubines there are around the Third Master.”
"Okay, you'll go and find the butler now." After Lin Jingzhi said that, Shi Mo ran out with a gust of wind.
Although Huo Gengsheng wanted to take over the errand of Lin Lizhi himself, he also said before that the lawsuit against the Third Master of the Lin family was an unknown confession, and there was no family member of the victim. In this case, the official has no power to directly
He went to investigate, so he had to sit in the hall and wait.
Shimo had been there for a long time. Lin Jingzhi just sat on a chair and drank tea. Huo Gengsheng became less and less patient, as if there were nails under his butt. He moved over and moved over.
"Second Master, the butler has arrived." As the sound rang out, the butler and Shi Mo walked into the hall one by one.
"I wish you a blessing to the second master!" Xu Fu walked into the hall and kowtowed to Lin Jinglizhi respectfully.
Lin Jingzhixu helped him and said, "Get up, thank you, Butler Xu, sit down and reply."
When Shimo heard this, he quickly took two steps forward without anyone's orders, sat on the chair with Xu Fu, poured him a cup of hot tea, and then walked behind Lin Jingzhi again to stand still.
"Second Master, what's wrong with you looking for a slave?" Xu Fu sat on the chair and owed.
Lin Jingzhi glanced at Huo Gengsheng without any trace, then nodded, "Well, except for the old lady, you are the one who knows the matter of the inner courtyard of the Lin family. This time I came to you, just want to ask, three
How many concubines did you take in total?”
"Go back to the second master, the third master has taken three concubines in total." Xu Fu replied respectfully.
"Oh? Then do you know where the parents' homes of these concubines are? Did anyone come from it forcibly?" Lin Jingzhi believed that Shimo had taken care of Xu Fu on the way, so he was very calm when asked.
Speaking of this, Huo Gengsheng, who was sitting aside, had his ears very high and his face was nervous.
"Back to the second master, I know where the three concubines' home is, and I definitely didn't snatch it." Xu Fu shook his head and answered very surely.
"Impossible, the villain investigated this matter himself." Huo Gengsheng became anxious when he heard Xu Fu say that there was no such thing. This was only one hundred taels of silver, so he couldn't just fly like this.
Xu Fu sat upright on the chair, but glanced at Huo Gengsheng unfairly, with a look of disdain. Although he was just a servant, he also believed that he was much worse than this official. Seeing Lin Jingzhi
He then continued to say down, and then explained, "Second Master, the third master's concubines were selected by the old lady himself. How could there be a robbery of a woman? And these three concubines are all
There will never be any stolen women in the Lin family when they have children."
The family gave birth to a child, which means that their parents were also servants purchased by the Lin family. After birth, they were also slaves of the Lin family and were people without freedom of identity. Even if the Lin family beat them to death, the government would not have the right to intervene.
Not to mention just being a concubine for the master.
"Impossible, you must have missed it. Before the two women entered the mansion, they were already married women." Huo Gengsheng jumped up and shouted.
"Rareless, do you have the right to call me in front of the Second Master? I really don't understand the rules." Xu Fu slapped the table hard, and stood up in an instant, with a stern voice.
Huo Gengsheng was startled and instinctively took a few steps back.
Xu Fu is not Shimo. He has been a housekeeper in the Lin family for many years. He is pampered and has his own power, so it is normal for Huo Gengsheng to be afraid.
He shook his sleeves hard at Huo Gengsheng, and Xu Fucai said to Lin Jingzhi: "Second Master, as the butler of the Lin Mansion, if I don't even know how many concubines my master has, then it would be a joke.
"
Lin Jingzhi did not say anything immediately after hearing this, but deliberately looked at Xu Fu and Huo Gengsheng back and forth, as if it was a little difficult to make a decision. Huo Gengsheng was anxious to interrupt, but after being scolded by Xu Fu, he actually
I dare not speak out any more.
"In theory, the runner Huo Yayi is an official, so he should not be wronged by the Third Master for nothing, but what Mr. Xu said makes sense. He has been in charge of the Lin family for so many years, how could he not know how many concubines his Third Master has? But I am the second person.
My brother, I often go out and don’t know, but then again, since the two women were already married before they were robbed, then Yayasha Huo should know where their husbands and their family live?”
What Huo Gengsheng feared most was that Lin Jingzhi asked the two women's families. After hearing this, his face turned bitter and he was stammering and could not speak.
"What, did the runaway Huo Yayi didn't even find the victim, so he came to my Lin Mansion to check people?" Lin Jingzhi knew that the time had arrived, his face turned stern, and his cold expression was full of pressure.
Seeing this, Huo Gengsheng's scalp numbness and waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, it's not that the villain is coming to investigate, it's because my adults received a nameless case, so that the villain came over and asked the previous question."
"Hmph, the nameless case? Huo Yayi, what kind of family do you think is the Lin family? You can go to the door to check it out if you make up any reason? It is a violation of the law to rob a woman in the civilian country. How can you be so casual about being sent to prison?
?If the reputation of the Lin Mansion is ruined, I will definitely make you lose money!" Lin Jingzhi slammed the armrest of the chair and shouted angrily.
Huo Gengsheng was so scared that he shivered all over and almost knelt down. At this time, he couldn't care about the one hundred taels of silver rewards. He just wanted Lin Jingzhi to relieve the fire. He knew how powerful the Lin family was.
If you sincerely want to cause trouble for him, you can kill him by just making trouble in secret.
"Second Master, the villain is just doing his order. Please have a lot of them, so I will spare the villain this time."
"Fuck, Lord Wang is fair and the administration is clear and clear. How could you ask me to ask me about the Lin family just because of anonymous and nameless case? Do you really think that my Lin family is a soft persimmon, and you can pinch it if you want?"
Huo Gengsheng could not have expected that Lin Jingzhi would be so hot that he was completely different from the previous meeting. He was so scared that his face was pale and begged for mercy.
Shimo stood behind Lin Jingzhi and took the opportunity to curse a few words about dog slaves, a beast that was so dark. However, when he thought that someone had just left the hall, someone had reported a big deal and wanted to tell the master as soon as possible, he stopped the scolding.
, changed his words and advised: "Second Master, I'm angry with this dog slave. I've just been ruthless and I'd better ask him to get out of here!"
"No, the second master's body is more important." Xu Fu also stood up and advised.
Lin Jingyi shook his sleeves and said one word coldly, "Get out!" Huo Gengsheng quickly sued and ran out.
After running out of the Lin Mansion, Huo Gengsheng's heart was gradually relieved. After thinking about his identity as an official, he was scolded like a dog. He felt no anger in his heart, 'I'm a pussy, but
There are only a few stinky money, what's so amazing!'
At this time, a gust of breeze blew over, and Huo Gengsheng immediately shuddered. Then he realized that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
After all, the Lin family was a famous wealthy family in Luocheng. Huo Gengxin was afraid that others would cause trouble for him later, so he quickly raised his legs and ran back. After crossing several streets, he came to the door of a small courtyard and stopped.
After looking around for a while, he saw that there was no one around, he reached out and knocked on the gate of the courtyard a few times. Three loud sounds and two small sounds. This was the secret code that he had set earlier.
When the people in the yard heard the knock on the door and the code matched the code, they went forward and opened the door wide. Huo Gengsheng didn't say anything and went in directly.
At this time, a middle-aged man was sitting in the hall of the courtyard. He was in his forties, with a thin face and a black beard of three inches long on his chin. He was like a black-faced goat. It was hard to imagine that someone could grow
It looks like this.
After Huo Gengsheng entered the house, he quickly returned the conversation with Lin Jingzhi after seeing Lin Jingzhi today, and Lin Jingzhi's performance. The middle-aged man closed his eyes and listened quietly until Huo Gengsheng finished speaking.
He waved his hand gently and signaled him to retreat.
After pondering for a long time, the middle-aged man opened his eyes. The meaning in his eyes was hard to understand, "Soft persimmon? A beast with dark heart, is Lin Jingzhi talking to him? Did he know for a long time that this official wanted to attack the Lin family.
, so I have been trying to resist reporting to the official? If this is true, I'm afraid it will be a little trouble.'
Standing up slowly, the middle-aged man was spinning around the hall, thinking about Huo Gengsheng saying that Lin Jingyi was tough, without any panic, and his brows became deeper. The Lin family must take it, otherwise they would not be able to get it.
Not to mention the benefits, they will be blamed by the people above. However, although the Lin family is no one in the court, the identity of the old lady Lin is not simple. There is no reason. He, the city guard, cannot come to the door easily.
condemn.
The middle-aged man rubbed his forehead with a headache, and finally his face darkened. He made up his mind, 'No matter what, he should not be blamed by the superior for this matter and ruined his future. It is really not possible. Even if he uses some extraordinary means, it is not
