Chapter 868 868: Great-grandfather, you are Jiaojiao
She raised her hand and pressed the hilt of her sword. Her eyes shifted from the blood stains on the stone slab to Chao Lian's face. When the soldiers confronting the guard heard the sound, they separated like a tide. Lin Feng and the other two slowly stepped forward. The young warrior looked at
Xiang Linfeng's gaze was filled with confusion.
Then he put away his weapon: "Nvjun Lin?"
Lin Feng stepped forward and saluted, Chao Lian hurriedly returned the salute, and said with a faint smile on her lips: "Thank you, General Chao, for showing mercy, otherwise today's situation would not be easy to deal with."
Chao Lian looked cautious: "I don't dare."
He set out on his way back after parting ways with Sixth Brother and Thirteenth. During this period, the situation in the northwest continent changed greatly. Unexpectedly, Shen Jun and Wu Zhaode had the last laugh. Huang Lie was defeated and died, and even if Chao Lian wanted to take revenge, there was no target.
Chao Lian was worried about the safety of his eldest brother and his family as he passed by Uncle Lin's hometown. He thought that just sending a letter would not delay him, so he came to deliver the letter first.
It was still midnight when he came, but unexpectedly the owner of Lin House was still awake, with a sad look on his brows. Chao Lian came to the door to explain his identity and intention, and talked about the current situation of Fourth Uncle Lin. The owner of Lin House was emotional and begged Chao Lian.
Wait a little longer and write a letter home to Fourth Uncle Lin who is living abroad. This request is reasonable and reasonable, so Chao Lian naturally did not refuse and agreed with a smile.
result--
I got the family letter in front of me, but someone came to attack me in the back.
Chao Lian originally wanted to strike hard, but unexpectedly learned that this group of people were pretending to be serious under the banner of Shen Jun. He showed mercy out of caution. He only injured the person, but did not kill him.
Lin's house was unable to protect itself and was surrounded by invading enemies.
He was thinking about how to deal with the situation when someone called out his identity. Chao Lian looked around and finally recognized Lin Feng.
Chao Lian and Lin Feng had a few acquaintances, but they were not familiar with each other.
Rather than recognizing Lin Feng, it is better to say that he recognized the unique inscription on her waist. Lin Feng came forward and testified that these soldiers were from Shen Tang's tent. This put Chao Lian in a dilemma: "Can I take the liberty of saying?
I want to ask, what is the purpose of Ms. Lin’s visit here?”
Lin Feng said the most frightening words in the gentlest tone: "My lord has received accurate information. The Lin family has secretly discussed with a group of aristocratic families to do something unfavorable to my lord. However, my lord has a generous and kind temperament, and she is not willing to do anything to it."
He started killing and the blood flowed like a river, so he ordered us to come and persuade him. If Mrs. Lin sincerely changes her ways, this matter will be solved with a small punishment. "
Chao Lian said with emotion: "Jun Shen is still so kind, but good people can be bullied, and sometimes they need thunderous tactics."
He couldn't help but think of his elder brother.
If the eldest brother could be more cruel, he might still have a chance to survive. Compared with those evil-hearted people in the Dragon Slaying Bureau, he is too simple and kind.
Now that the eldest brother is gone, Shen Jun is all that is left is gentleness.
Chao Lian's words angered the old man holding the staff on one side.
The latter looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.
He said solemnly: "Shen Youli is rebellious and greedy. He has extorted money from aristocratic families several times, and everyone is angry and hateful. How come you, a kid like you, are talking about us? Are you leading troops to the door with the intention of exterminating the family?"
Lin Feng looked at the old man holding the staff with complicated eyes.
His tone was gentler: "Mr. Lin, what you said is wrong. If you don't lead the troops to the door but come here alone, who would know that there are swordsmen waiting in the dark of Lin's house? It is not easy for the Lin family to clear their name accumulated by generations. Mr. Lin Sir, it’s better not to take a trip into this muddy water. I heard that all the young people in the family were moved away in the Lingzhou disaster a few years ago? Isn’t it good for you to live in peace and contentment at your age? Your students, what they say How many truths can you say? Don’t let someone trick you into using your words as a rafter!"
Although the old man holding the staff in front of him could not practice cultivation, he was extremely talented and learned. He was once a famous lecturer in Xinguo Academy. Later, due to the civil strife in the royal court, he couldn't stand Zheng Qiao's chaos in government, so he resigned and returned to his hometown. The nearby aristocratic families admired his reputation and started to pay tribute to him. He came to the house with heavy gifts to become a disciple. He couldn't take any time off, so he accepted students who liked him. After that, the Lin family went south to avoid trouble, and the Lin family members moved in batches.
Unexpectedly, he hasn't left yet.
The old man holding the staff knocked on the ground angrily, and his beard was filled with anger: "Boy, I don't want to listen to you if you want to sow discord. Your threats can't scare me! Even if I am the only old man in the Lin family, I will never give in. !”
Then he said: "If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you wish!"
The smell of gunpowder suddenly became strong in the air.
Chao Lian begged with an embarrassed look on his face: "Nvjun Lin, there is not even a brave warrior in Lin's nursing home. There are no important people in the house, and no money. The only few clan members are all elderly people." , it’s difficult to walk, let alone participate in the rebellion. There must be a misunderstanding, or maybe you are really deceived by an adulterer. Please postpone the action until the matter is cleared up?"
He was in an awkward position at the moment.
Fourth Uncle Lin was his savior. He helped him deliver a letter home, and then turned around and told him that his grandfather was gone? Chao Lian couldn't just sit idly by and do nothing about this. If he just took care of it, he might involve his eldest brother's family members, and he would be implicated for no reason. them.
For a time, Chao Lian was in a dilemma.
He wanted to delay, but the old man with the staff didn't appreciate it.
He opened his mouth and provoked Lin Feng to ask for money or his life.
Yin and Yang said angrily: "...I see that your boy is a good swordsman. If you die by this sword, your life will not be in vain."
Lin Feng: "..."
Yu Zi thought that Lin Feng respected the old and loved the young, but she didn't expect that the old man had a bad temper and had a bad temper, and he failed to live up to his good intentions. She hummed: "You want to die? What's so difficult about this! Ling De It is inconvenient to unsheath my sword recently, but there are no restrictions on my sword. If you want to borrow it, I will not be stingy. I am afraid that the old gentleman does not have the courage and is just relying on his old age!"
The old man holding the stick was irritated, and he immediately threw away the stick and spread his hands: "I will not be humiliated by you! Come with the sword!"
Yu Zi actually pulled out the sword and was about to throw it away.
However, Lin Feng moved faster than her.
As fast as lightning, he reached out his hand and pushed back the half-unsheathed sword.
Yu Zi was puzzled and surprised: "Ling De?"
"The current head of the Lin family is gone, so there is no real person to talk about the matter, so I will shamelessly make decisions for them." Lin Feng's speech shocked both parties. The old man holding the staff did not expect that Shen Tang's people were so thick-skinned. Realm, fingers trembling non-stop.
The old man holding the staff was quite old, and Lin Feng was really afraid of making him angry. Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, he opened his mouth and shouted: "My great-grandfather is old, so it is better to be less angry."
The old man holding the staff: "..."
Yu Zi: "..."
Yang Ying and Lu Ji were ready: "..."
They suddenly remembered that Lin Feng's surname was Lin.
Could it be that he and Lin from the Lin family are from the same family???
The sudden commotion almost broke the old man's waist, and he was still angry: "Who are you? I have seen people who mistakenly identify their father, but I have never seen anyone who mistakenly identifies their father and grandfather for their own father. The Lin family is a small family.
, I can’t fit this giant Buddha of yours, hum!”
Lin Feng was helpless: "Great-grandfather, I am Jiaojiao."
The old man holding the staff was stunned on the spot, because he had not heard anyone mention the nickname "Jiaojiao" for several years. When he suddenly heard it again, it took him a while to remember "Jiaojiao"'s face. In his impression,
That child was born delicate and blessed.
He has a somewhat naughty personality and likes to be obedient.
As the grandchildren grew up, the Lin family prospered. He was the eldest in the family, and the younger generation were afraid of children bumping into him, so they were very reserved when they were around him. The only exception was one child, that child
She was his "Jiao Jiao". She was also the most similar among all the children to his eldest daughter who died young, even the flesh on her face was so similar.
He felt that this child was very close to him.
However, his "Jiao Jiao" and his unlucky eldest daughter all died in infancy. The Lin clan members who went south to escape the disaster did not receive "Jiao Jiao" and his party. After some inquiring, they found out that the servants had betrayed them on the way, and the female family members including
His fourth grandson is dead.
They didn't even know where the bodies were dumped.
When the news came back, the old man holding the staff was silent for a long time.
Until a few hours ago, the young man Chao Lian brought back the news that his grandson was still alive and was accidentally rescued from the river by a pair of masters and apprentices. This news somewhat comforted him. He also asked about the location of the accident and prepared to send people there.
Check it out over there.
He also knew that Shen Tang was not easy to mess with, so he made preparations in advance, wrote a letter home to the fourth child, and arranged for people to go south to deliver the message... But before he could finish processing, Shen Tang's minions led troops to break in. He knew that it was him today
The date of death, the result——
The tall person in front of me calls herself "Jiao Jiao".
The old man holding the staff silently looked at Lin Feng's face, trying to find the rounded arc that "Jiao Jiao" once had on this open face. Lin Feng knew that his eyesight was not good, so he slowly stepped forward and said, "Great-grandfather, I
It’s really beautiful. When you named me, you said I was the brightest crescent moon of the Lin family. Do you still remember?”
The old man holding the staff raised his old but not rough hand and gently touched Lin Feng's cheek. It took him a long time to compare the current face with that of the girl back then. He looked up and down in disbelief: "Jiao Jiao...
...You are so beautiful? My child, my child, you have grown so big? You, how did you survive?"
"Great-grandfather, this matter is a long story. When the matter is resolved, Jiaojiao will tell you everything clearly, okay?"
This is not a place to reminisce about old times.
She was not so big-hearted as to ignore everyone present.
It was okay if Lin Feng didn't say anything. As soon as he said it, the old man holding the staff suddenly remembered that Lin Feng was Shen Tang's person, and his old face twitched slightly. He remembered that Jiaojiao from his hometown was a girl, but in front of him, Lin Feng was wearing a Wenxin monogram, my brain is stuck again.
Just as he was about to say something, the girl who once only jumped up to him to beg for rewards now firmly pressed down the hand he was about to raise, and said in a calm and firm tone: "My great-grandfather is old, and the Lin family has no one at the moment." The head of the family makes the decision, and according to the rules of the Lin clan, I can make the decision!"
The old man holding the staff suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Jiaojiao!"
Lin Feng said with a smile: "Great-grandfather, my lord gave my grandson the name Lin Feng, and his mentor named him Ling De. When my father and the others are away, my grandson will have to carry up the lintel of the Lin family. You think - don't you? Great-grandfather loves the younger generation, and he definitely doesn't want to let him down." Does Jiaojiao bear the name of parricide?"
The face of the old man holding the staff twitched and the arc became wider.
He held Lin Feng's wrist behind his back, very hard.
However, this small amount of strength is nothing to Literary Scholars. The smile on Lin Feng's face did not change, but he slightly lowered his eyebrows and looked directly at the glares from the elders in the clan. The old man holding the staff was old, and his back was not as straight as it used to be. Lin Feng was tall, more than half a head taller than him. His aura even surpassed that of his opponent.
After a long time, the old man holding the staff loosened his grip.
Sighing: "It's up to you."
Lin Feng smiled and turned around: "The matter is resolved."
The Lin family's savings are really not much, and most of them have been transferred. Some of the land that cannot be transferred is sold to other families, and only a small part is left. When the situation stabilizes, the Lin family will still have a way out. The old man holding the staff is in black Sitting in the main seat with his face.
Another old man of about the same age looked at him with a smile: "Why are you so angry, brother? Isn't it a good thing that Jiaojiao is still alive?"
The old man holding the staff glanced at the great-granddaughter who was looking down at the accounts and was about to take out money from the warehouse to help Shen Tang make money and eliminate the disaster. He was holding something in his heart and muttered: "The daughter is not good enough to stay, not good enough to stay! She even threatened me. Come on, if I don’t agree, will she also be planning to commit parricide? She’s so angry, so angry!”
The old man ignored the angry eldest brother and slowly moved to Lin Feng's side. He stretched his neck and took a look at the accounts: "Jiaojiao, I don't have much savings in the house. At most, I can even out five thousand. It's still far away from the line drawn by your lord. , can only get the last seat."
Lin Feng said: "Then take out five thousand."
Anyway, it is a lie that the Yi tribe is the last three on the list.
Neither the conquest nor the conquest was blamed on the Lin family. It is said that this matter has nothing to do with the Lin family, and it was purely a trick to get involved this time.
The old man was speechless: "I really don't feel bad at all."
Five thousand taels of silver was certainly not a big sum of money to the Lin family back then, but to the Lin family who only had a few old guys now, this was a coffin book. Lin Feng opened his mouth to donate it all, and he didn't worry about these old guys. There is no place to bury him when he dies.
"Five thousand taels bought your elders' lives, so there's no need to feel bad. The charge of conspiracy would be a capital crime at any other time."
The Lord really knows how to play Three Clans Match.
"Jiaojiao, do you really think she is worth following? She is not friendly to the aristocratic family, and I don't know what will happen to her in the future." I have seen extortionists, but I have never seen anyone with the word "asking for money" written on their face.
"My lord, I will never offend others unless they offend me."
The implication is that the aristocratic family committed the first sin.
Lin Feng calmly asked an important question: "The Lin family has too few people, and you don't know how many times the information you know has gone through. How can you ensure that you are not deceived and become the leader? My grandson has kept in mind the family's instructions not to be public, but
They have never concealed their origins, how can we ensure that they do not use this to make a fuss about killing others?"
Of course, this is just her baseless guess.
Lin Feng no longer concealed anything, and no one connected her with Lin's humble child, but she just wanted to arouse the suspicion of the two old foxes in front of her. Then she poured out heavy medicine: "My grandson is lucky to have the second-grade Chinese heart."
.As long as I am here, the Lin family can be stable for decades. When the clan members fled in a hurry, are these local people really willing to see the Lin family come back? Not necessarily?"
The two brothers fell silent for a moment.
The expression is ugly.
"If it were not me who came today, but other colleagues, with my great-grandfather's temper, everyone in the Lin family would definitely be bloodbathed. Does the grandson hate it, or not? Can the lord still reuse his grandson without any grudges? Please also ask.
Great-grandfather thought, if such a vicious scheme is to succeed, who will be more proud?" Lin Feng handed the account to the old housekeeper and asked him to withdraw the money from the private treasury.
