Seeing that they were members of the Lin family, Liu Yun politely invited Lin Fen, Lin Tingzhen's uncle and nephew into the hall to have tea and talk.
After experiencing this funeral, she had some affection for the Lin family. After all, it was very rare for Lin Tingzhen to have the courage to stand up for this family and face Superintendent Zheng Haichuan.
Lin Tingzhen took a sip of tea and asked hurriedly: "My nephew, I heard that Princess Rishu came to have a long secret talk with you, your niece-in-law, and Mr. Nie and Mr. Chang. What did they talk about?
What, how come you, the imperial brother, accepted it but lost your position as county captain?"
Lin Jinxiao didn't expect that this clan uncle came all the way from the county town to ask questions, so he had a cold face and didn't want to answer him.
"Niece-in-law, please talk to my uncle quickly."
Seeing this, Lin Tingzhen had no choice but to turn her eyes to Chu Nanzhi.
Chu Nanzhi was actually thinking about something related to this.
Princess Jinshu had only returned to Beijing from Luyan Port for more than half a month, and the eldest son-in-law of the Qi family had received the transfer order, which shows that this person was a candidate who had been agreed upon long ago.
Transferring here from other places is not as smooth as Lin Jinxiao, who is so light-hearted and takes up the post directly. There are many matters to be handed over, and I am afraid it will take some time for the new county captain to take up his post.
Now it depends on which side the order comes faster.
In fact, she didn't expect Lin Jinxiao to be of much help to her, so she had to take advantage of this period of time to quickly arrange everything.
Since Lin Jinxiao was not going to mention this matter to anyone, she had no choice but to keep it secret and drink tea slowly and deliberately without revealing a word to Lin Tingzhen.
Lin Tingzhen looked at the couple pretending to be mysterious, and looked even more anxious: "Don't just say nothing, Dalang, your second uncle and third uncle are both angry because of this matter."
The implication is that the Lin family has completely offended the Qi family because of Chu Wenyu's affairs, and they feel that the Lin family is on the wrong side.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the two of them intently, and then he understood why out of the three elders, only his fourth uncle Lin Fen came.
Liu Yun saw that neither the couple wanted to answer him, so she turned to him and said, "Head of the Lin family, you are from the city, have you heard how the young man of the Qi family was sentenced?"
Subconsciously, she still cares about this issue.
"It's been judged."
Lin Tingzhen raised his eyebrows: "I was beaten fifty times at the county government office this morning, and then I was taken to jail. It seems like I was sentenced to one year in prison."
"Just one year in prison?"
Liu Yun seemed a little disappointed.
According to the laws of Dahe, such a great unfilial act should result in an exile of two thousand miles.
Listening to this, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but secretly sigh at how extraordinary Zheng Haichuan was. It was no wonder that he was trusted by the county governor and the governor.
Although he accepted so much money from the Qi family, he did not overly favor Qi Xiaolang, a money tree, and did not release Qi Mochen from prison after being imprisoned for three to five days as he expected.
But this person did not strictly follow the law and sentenced Qi Mochen to death, or exiled him for three thousand miles.
Such a compromise method not only gave Mr. Nie, Mr. Chang and the Chu family an explanation, but would not cause too much embarrassment in front of the Qi family.
It seems that I still underestimated this person.
She calmed down and stared at Liu Yun who looked unwilling, and patiently advised: "It's good to have such a result. Does mother really think that Zheng Haichuan can be ruthless enough to kill that unfilial son with a knife?"
"Zheng Haichuan is a smart man. Although it is a serious crime of unfilial piety, it is difficult to have a unified sentencing standard."
Lin Tingzhen said: "After all, Brother Wen Yu was not killed by Qi Xiaolang himself. He handled it this way, and both parties are satisfied."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Jinxiao inadvertently and remembered that his nephew had just walked in without using crutches. He said with a surprised look on his face: "Hey, nephew, are your legs and feet better now?"
Lin Jinxiao pursed his lips in annoyance, but his eyes were not completely dim yet: "My wife said she still needs some time to recuperate."
After saying this, he couldn't help but look at Chu Nanzhi lovingly.
"It would be good to take more time to recuperate. Once my legs and feet feel better, if it doesn't work, let's ask Mr. Chang and Mr. Nie to go to Jingling City and see if they can get an official position."
After a pause, Lin Tingzhen considered it again and said: "Dalang, you are the hope of our whole family now. Don't let the Qi family compare with you."
"Let's talk about these things later."
Lin Jinxiao looked at his uncle and nephew and prepared to stand up: "Uncle and uncle, if we have nothing else to do, I will go back upstairs to rest first."
"Wait a minute."
Lin Fen stopped him in a panic and said with a grimace: "Uncle, I really want to ask my granddaughter-in-law something."
The last time he went to Anlin Village, he was embarrassed to speak, and when he went to the Chu family to attend the funeral, he was embarrassed to speak. Now looking at the couple, he finally said it with a shy face:
"Nan Zhi, this is only half a moonlight. The restaurant run by your uncle has been smashed up several times, resulting in countless losses. The county government officials have come several times but no suspicious persons have been found. A few days ago, you
Uncle Hun deliberately kept his manpower, but he never thought that he would have someone beat him up in the middle of the night with a black nose and a swollen face, and then let the group escape unharmed. Can you go to the city at some time and find a way to help uncle investigate and see what happened to this group of people?
What's the origin?"
"My fourth uncle really regarded my wife as a god who was born into the world, and he directed her to do everything."
Lin Jinxiao's words to her fourth uncle were simply unreasonable. It was not obvious that he was pushing her into the fire pit.
Fourth uncle Lin Fen was very distressed: "I have no choice but to make trouble during the day. There are always people coming to make trouble, and there is no peace at night. I arrested a group of people a few days ago, but after only a few days of peace, someone comes to make trouble again. It's not just our family."
Such a situation has occurred in restaurants, and even several newly opened restaurants have encountered such strange things."
Lin Jinxiao was not allowed to speak this time, but Chu Nanzhi readily agreed: "Fourth uncle, please be patient for a while. When I finish working on the fish pond, I can go and help you, old man."
As Zhou said, the fourth uncle was indeed holding something back, and she really had to help resolve this matter.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid similar encounters when my own restaurant opens.
Lin Jinxiao saw that she agreed so happily, and thought that she would be going to the city to open a restaurant soon, so he realized it immediately and said nothing more.
Lin Fen nodded with tears in his eyes and said with a pleased smile: "Last time I heard from the patriarch of your village that you were planning to raise fish. This is a pretty good idea. Not long ago, your uncle also fell in love with our family when he went to the neighboring village.
The fishermen were contracted by the Qi family before the fish from that family could be sent to the city. Nanzhi, if you will grow fish here in the future, I will definitely introduce more merchants to you so that the fish in your pond will not grow.
Lack of sales.”
"So I would like to thank my fourth uncle in advance."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile on his face.
This fourth uncle is much kinder than the other two elders, at least he is a polite and respectful person.
"We are all one family, so there is no need to be so polite."
Lin Fen stood up with a smile and told Lin Tingzhen, "Tingzhen, let's go back first and wait for good news from Nan Zhi."
"Have dinner at home and then go back."
Liu Yun politely asked to stay.
"No, my in-laws won't bother me anymore."
Lin Tingzhen changed her words and no longer called her "old sister", with a friendly look on her face.
Before leaving the house, he turned around again. He originally wanted to ask the couple about Princess Shu again, but after taking a closer look at the couple, he didn't want to make trouble for himself anymore and left the house angrily.
