People below the tower swarmed up, and only Lin Jingmo stood there blankly. People kept passing by, and people kept bumping into her, but from the moment Lin Yuanzhi jumped off the tower, Lin Jingmo
Mo seemed to have lost consciousness, and the buzzing in his head kept ringing.
Lin Jingmo kept asking himself in his heart: In the end...why did I get into trouble? Why did my dearest and most beloved people leave me one after another...Why?
A rumble and thunder on the ground woke up the unconscious Lin Jingmo. She suddenly heard the wailing of the whole world, which was mixed with pain, sadness, and unbearable.
As she blinked, she didn't know whether it was rain or tears, streaking down her expressionless cheeks.
Daddy...
Lin Jingmo suddenly rushed towards the crowd, peeling off layers of human walls and came to Lin Yuanzhi's side. She looked at Lin Yuanzhi covered in blood and squatted next to his still cold body.
Cry loudly.
She screamed at the top of her lungs, calling her father over and over again, hoping that he would wake up. The blood stained her plain clothes. She could not accept that the father who loved her the most and understood her the most since she was a child left him like this.

Suddenly a heavy rain hit, and the spectators left one after another, leaving only a few Lin family servants and Lin Jingmo crying in the rain.
The guards chasing Lin Yuanzhi on the city tower looked down. They could not open their eyes under the heavy rain. They were extremely panicked at this moment. The minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the day had just died in front of them.
Chen Mianzheng on the side of the city gate was a little unbelievable. He looked at the torrential rain, but his face was extremely calm. He did not expect that Lin Yuanzhi could not bear the blow and jumped from the city to his death.
Is he dying to prove his truth? What did he want to prove to His Majesty? And what did he prove?
Chen Mianzheng felt that he should be happy at this moment, but he was cold-blooded and felt that this was a bit too ruthless.
He waved his hand towards the imperial army and said calmly: "Lin Yuanzhi just committed suicide on the city tower and failed to force him to the palace. He deserved his death. No one forced him. He jumped down by himself. Did you all see it?"
The Imperial Guards on the side did not reply.
Chen Mianzheng turned back to look at them. Wang Zhen, the leader of the Forbidden Army, understood what he meant, so he nodded somewhat helplessly.
Chen Mianzheng pointed at Lin Jingmo, and then said: "Lin Yuanzhi forced the palace, which is treason! Why don't you arrest the remaining members of the Lin family?"
Wang Zhen couldn't bear hearing this, so he replied: "Lin Yuanzhi is dead, why bother and his family? Sir, after all, he is an important minister of the court, why not let the Lin family collect the body of Lord Shangshu, and you and I can go to the palace to pay homage to His Majesty
Report..."
"What are you reporting?" Chen Mianzheng turned his head in displeasure and said, "Aren't I right here? Your Majesty has lost his beloved wife and son. Now he is suffering from illness and lingering on the bed. All government affairs are handled by the Zhongshu Provincial Department. Why?
?Are you questioning His Majesty’s decision? Or do you think that I am taking personal revenge by writing the order? Have you forgotten who killed the Queen and His Highness?”
"I don't dare to lower my rank." Wang Zhen clasped his fists and saluted, "My lower rank is low. Now Zhongshu Ling has the emperor's order. Your Excellency has orders. Originally, I didn't dare to disobey you. But now it's about the imperial court.
Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, now that he has just died, he wants to arrest his female family members, it is really..."
"What is it really?" Chen Mianzheng was obviously unhappy.
Wang Zhen looked troubled and replied: "It's really... a little unhuman..."
"Favors..." Chen Mianzheng sneered and said, "Ha...it turns out that Mr. Wang still has a favor with Lin Yuanzhi! So you and Lin Yuanzhi are in the same group?"
"Xiaguan..." Wang Zhen immediately knelt on the ground: "Who is Xiaguan? How dare you compare with Lin Shangshu? Xiaguan just has a conscience. Lord Shangshu is an honest, fair and strict official. I know that he is being
I was unjustly accused to death, and now I am asked to arrest the Lin family, so I will not be able to obey."
"Okay, okay, okay." Chen Mianzheng applauded, reached out and pulled out the long knife from the waist of the Imperial Guard Qin Feng, stabbed Wang Zhen with the knife, then quickly pulled out the knife, and threw the knife to Wang Zhen with his backhand.
He said: "From now on, you will be the new commander of the Forbidden Army."
Qin Feng was stunned and quickly knelt down: "Thank you for the promotion." He turned to the other forbidden troops and said: "Brothers, arrest the remnants of the Lin family!"
In the heavy rain, Lin Jingmo held Lin Yuanzhi's body at a loss and cried.
Although Butler Lin on the side was also sad, he still said to Lin Jingmo: "Second girl, it's raining so fast and hard, let's take the adults back to the Shangshu Mansion first!"
Before Lin Jingmo had time to think, he was already surrounded by the Forbidden Army.
Butler Lin asked: "What are you doing?"
Qin Feng pulled out the bloody knife from his waist and said arrogantly: "Lin Yuanzhi forced the palace to rebel, and the imperial army was ordered to capture the remaining members of the Lin family!"
"The remaining... remnants?" The Lin family's entourage froze on the spot and said hurriedly: "We are just the Lin family's servants and the Lin family's girls. You sent out the imperial army to arrest us?"
"Although you are old and weak, Lin Yuanzhi forced the palace to rebel. He committed a serious crime. If you know the truth, you will be captured without hesitation, otherwise the knife in Grandpa's hand will not be easy to deal with!"
Lin Jingmo hugged Lin Yuanzhi's body tightly, and the blood mixed with rainwater stretched outward.
Lin Jingmo's vision was blurry, and she could no longer tell whether it was rain or tears. She shouted with all her strength: "What are you going to do to my father?"
Qin Feng smiled and said: "It's just a corpse, who cares? What we want to arrest are you, the remnants of the Lin family!" After saying that, he walked towards Lin Jingmo with the knife.
"Corpse..." Lin Jingmo looked down at the blood all over his and Lin Yuanzhi's bodies, his eyes widening in disbelief: "Daddy...why did daddy bleed so much blood! Daddy...daddy...dead?" Qin Feng was getting closer and closer to Lin Jingmo. Lin Jingmo was immersed in pain at the moment and had no energy to resist.
Qin Feng had a second thought at this moment: I had just been promoted to the leader of the Forbidden Army by Zhongshu Ling. If I could directly kill the last member of the Lin family... wouldn't I have done a great service for Zhongshu Ling? It was windy and rainy, and I couldn't see clearly.
I accidentally killed her, what can anyone do to me?
So he picked up the knife and ran towards Lin Jingmo. Upon seeing this, Butler Lin jumped up and blocked Lin Jingmo's side. Qin Feng raised the knife and dropped it. Butler Lin instantly fell into a pool of blood. Upon seeing this, all the forbidden soldiers saw this.
, so they all drew their swords.
"Steward Lin!" Lin Jingmo looked at Housekeeper Lin who fell beside her. At this moment, her family was ruined, and even the last members of the Lin family could not be saved. She wailed in pain to the sky: "No! Don't kill anyone again! No!" The voice was mixed with sorrow and lamentation, resounding throughout the palace gate, and Lin Jingmo finally fainted from the exhaustion of his voice.
However, Qin Feng sneered and picked up the knife again and walked towards Lin Jingmo step by step.
"Stop! She is the wife of my Shang family, not the Lin family!"
