It’s just that Song Liyun didn’t go there in person.
She is not a woman who can enter and leave the garrison prison at will.
That is Brother Zhao Tingduo's territory. If anything bad happens, it will be embarrassing to mention it in the future.
Besides, Lin Qinghua is still using the lives of Gu and her son to seduce him, so just wait until he continues to look forward to it like this!
Abu and Song Dekui were very happy to go and deliver the message on her behalf, and took a look at Lin Qingyuan's embarrassment.
The garrison office is a remodeled former military camp and does not have a special prison.
The style of the military camp is rough and heroic.
There is a row of small rooms in the open air, with thick wooden fences made into cages, and people are divided into men and women and locked inside.
Although it is not as dark and scary as a prison, nor is it as dirty and turbid as imagined, the severe cold, scorching heat, sun and rain are also uncomfortable.
The sun had already begun to turn westward, and the prison boss had just delivered the first meal.
A bucket of turbid gruel and a basket of potatoes.
Each person can only receive one egg-sized black potato and a spoonful of clear soup.
The Lin family had never suffered like this before. Every one of them complained incessantly, and the female family members were even sobbing in the cage.
Lin Shouzhuo, who was originally a wealthy man, was sitting by the wooden railing, not even looking at the food.
Over the past few days, he had lost weight and was out of shape, his eyes were dull and his eye sockets were sunken.
Ever since he knew that this sudden disaster was caused by a small incident involving his son, he knew that something was wrong.
This is not the first time this has happened, but this time the new emperor has ascended the throne.
Although he is not a court minister, he still knows some things about the palace from his eldest brother's letters.
When the emperor ascends the throne, people come and go.
He never expected that he, a small merchant in a border town, would become one of the unlucky ones.
At that time, he slapped Lin Qinghua several times. If Mrs. Lin hadn't cried and hugged her, he would have beaten the troublemaker to death.
Merchants have a low status and need to be cautious in daily life. Not only did this scoundrel fail to restrain himself, he actually went to Qili County to provoke Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng is not an ordinary seventh-grade official, he is a capital official who came from Dali Temple.
This was nothing. On the second day after the Lin Mansion was sealed off, Lin Shouzhuo got the really bad news.
News came from the younger brother who was a scribe in the government office. Not only was he dismissed from his post, but the eldest brother in Beijing also stayed at home to reflect on his past mistakes.
I have to find out by myself what went wrong, which will affect the entire family!
Lin Shouzhuo knew that he would not be able to escape unscathed, so he quickly burned his family's account books to eliminate possible clues.
What worries him the most is the attitude of his in-law Qi Dongyuan...
Although someone from the Qi family came over, they insisted on taking full responsibility themselves, and obviously had no intention of helping!
Full responsibility!
Lin Shouzhuo snorted coldly: If you want to get rich, you must take a dangerous path. The method of getting rich has always been the first article of the criminal law.
The Qi family goes to the grassland every year to buy and sell goods. How much refined iron is contained in them? If Qi Dongyuan doesn't tell him, will no one know?
And... Lin Shouzhuo's heart trembled and he suppressed the horrifying images in his mind.
He has to bear the consequences alone. If anyone knows about it, everyone in the Lin family will be killed!
Lin Shouzhuo was sweating on his forehead. He opened his eyes and took a look at his family.
At this time, everyone in the Lin family was still shouting because they were dissatisfied with the food.
The legitimate son Lin Qinghua fell to the ground holding his head, not knowing whether to live or die.
The concubine Lin Qingyuan sat next to him and played with three potatoes. He muttered and didn't know what he was talking about. He could only vaguely hear a few words, "...barbeque flavored potato chips"
Is this son stupid?
Lin Shouzhuo only had these two sons, and his heart felt cold: there were so many women in the family, but he only had two sons and one daughter, and there were no more concubines in the house.
Of course he knew why he had no heirs, and his wife was dissatisfied with her concubines, and she never stopped eating bowls of soup to avoid her children.
Especially the most gentle and sweet Aunt Liu, who drank Juezi Decoction just after giving birth to Lin Qingyuan, and never had another child.
Thinking of Aunt Liu, Lin Shouzhuo felt a little regretful: the concubine couldn't live at home when she came back, and suddenly had to live in another courtyard, so she also went to stay for two days.
As a concubine, she couldn't go out and stay out, so Lin Qingyuan went to his wife to ask for mercy, saying that her sister was not in good health and it was inconvenient to live at home, so she asked Aunt Liu to take care of her for two days and then come back.
But when the couple went out, officers and soldiers came to the door. From then on, even if they escaped capture, they would be homeless.
Lin Shouzhuo glanced at Lin Qingyuan, who was holding a half-cooked potato and gnawing it. His cold heart turned into anger, and he wanted to kick him away.
Although the legitimate son brings trouble to the family, he also wants to make more money for the family.
However, this concubine was not good at literature or martial arts, and could not even take care of the family's property. He only cared about the flower house and discredited the Lin family all day long.
With his bad reputation, even those from small families are unwilling to marry him.
If it weren't for Mr. Liu's kindness and kindness towards him, he would have been kicked out of his house long ago.
Lin Shouzhuo was secretly feeling sad. The Lin family was so hungry that they had already begun to eat.
Another chaos.
Hungry, several concubines were no longer afraid of the scolding of his wife, Mrs. Lin, and would snatch the bowls of gruel if they didn't want to eat potatoes.
Pulling hair and clothes, performing all kinds of martial arts, no longer the pretty beauties in the Lin family in the past, they all became goblins with sharp teeth and claws.
Without her usual maid and mother-in-law by her side, Mrs. Lin could not control these concubines. She could only slap the wooden fence and shout to Lin Shouzhuo: "Shouzhuo, look, these unworthy bastards are trying to shake things up!"
"
Lin Shouzhuo closed his eyes and turned a deaf ear to the crying and yelling next to him. He only muttered in a confused voice: "It's going to get dark!"
Amidst the crying, the dandy Lin Qingyuan remained silent as he ate the half-cooked potatoes.
But there was resentment in those lowered eyes: If you haven't brought me the food yet, do you really want to deal with me?
I don’t want roast chicken or duck, now I just want a multigrain pancake!
Aunt Song, please come quickly! I'm going to starve to death!
Lin Qingyuan's prayer had an effect, and he was answered with a burst of laughter: "Hahaha! Lin Qingyuan, you have today too!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Qingyuan didn't even raise his head, and with a wave of his hand, he smashed out the potato that had just broken through the skin.
The potato flew out from the gap in the wooden fence and faced Song Dekui's face, which was smiling and looking lewd.
Song Dekui covered his face and turned away, but he still teased: "Idiot Lin, where is your sweet beauty? Didn't I say that I would take Mr. Kui to Tianshui Lane to play gongs!"
Lin Qingyuan glared at him angrily: "I'm going to starve to death. I have no time to play!"
On the other side, Young Master Lin, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, groaned and crawled over, his eyes filled with joy: "Brother Song, Brother Song, I'm here."
Compared with Song Liyun, who had already become enemies, Song Dekui, who had helped him together, was more trustworthy.
Mr. Lin vaguely remembered that Song Dekui's father was Li Zheng, and he had to manage the affairs of the village, including these villagers.
In this way, the safety of Little Gu, mother and son will be of use.
Song Dekui didn't seem to recognize him, he glanced casually and turned away.
Next to him, Abu showed his hand to the guard sergeant: "Zhao Guards wants to inquire, bring that man out."
