Lin's Ancestral Hall is also known as Chunsheng Hall.
The ancestors of the Lin family served as Emperor Gaozu's attendants. They followed Emperor Gaozu in campaigns in the north and south of Jiangning, and made countless meritorious deeds. Later, they were awarded the title of martial arts generals and became a wealthy family in Dongyang. Chunsheng Hall was the house built by the ancestors of the Lin family after returning to their hometown after serving as officials. Chunsheng Hall stands tall.
After a hundred years in Shanglinli, it was destroyed by a heavy rain. The Lin family was separated by more than four miles and rebuilt the Lin family's mansion on a new site. They also rebuilt the Chunsheng Hall on the foundation of the old house as the Lin family's ancestral hall.
.
Chunsheng Hall covers an area of about ten acres and has seven or eight courtyards. In addition to the ancestral hall, the Lin family also has a volunteer school, a nursing home, Anji Square, and a Luze Garden in Chunsheng Hall.
In the east side hall of the ancestral hall in the front yard, there are four goose-footed copper lamps on both walls. The lamps are shaped like the sole legs of a wild goose, and their legs hold up a circular lamp panel. There are three lampposts in the lamp tray. Three large candles are lit at the same time, which connects the east side hall.
The light was as bright as day. There were shadows of people under the lamp, and the sounds of bamboo and flesh being whipped and the groans of those who chewed and chewed the wood were chilling, just like hearing the strange sound of fingernails scratching on porcelain.
It makes people feel like the hairs all over their body stand on end.
Under the bright candlelight, the brown age spots on Lin Tingxun's face became more and more obvious. The second son, Lin Xuzong, was tied up and kneeling on the cold brick floor, while the eldest son, Zhao Neng, was pushed to the ground and whipped, in the cold air.
, Zhao Neng's lower body was stripped naked, and thirty cane whips were used to expose the flesh. Zhao Neng's buttocks were only hit, and his thighs were bloody and bloody. The people onlookers were frightened when they saw this horrific scene. Zhao Neng's father, an old servant of the Lin family,
Zhao Changshan knelt in front of the ancestral hall and did not dare to say a word to plead for mercy. Zhao Neng's mother also fainted from crying and was sent back.
Zhao Neng abandoned his master and fled back to Shanglin alone. He made up lies again and deserved to be dragged to the ancestral hall and beaten to death.
Although many people knew in their hearts that tonight's dispute in the mule and horse market was Lin Fu's deliberate attempt to stir up trouble and gain authority, Lin Fu had a right to everything. In front of this "reason", the second son, Lin Xuzong, could only kneel in front of the ancestral hall and admit his mistake.
Lin Xuzong knelt under the candle, but did not hide the fierce look in his eyes. In his heart, he wished to cut Lin Fu into pieces. He already knew that Lin Fu had expelled himself from the sect and then from Shiliang County. He was thinking that there could be such a cheap thing.
?It’s just that he had to kneel in front of the ancestral hall to admit his mistake at this time, and watch Zhao Neng, who was loyal to him, whipped to death.
Of course Lin Xuzong knew in his heart that his immortal father wanted to take the opportunity to kill his majesty. Otherwise, the master of suffering, Lin Fu, was not here, so why would he need to drag Zhao Neng to death? He was taking the opportunity to warn those in the clan who were following him.
Those who are close to him are not old enough to die. He is the head of the Lin clan.
Lin Xuzong looked coldly at the beautiful Gu Yingxiu in front of the bright candle, this so-called seventh aunt, thinking that one day he could strip this woman naked and ravage her.
"Twenty lashes have been given..." The executioner saw that Zhao Neng was lying on the ground with only his breath left. He really wanted to give Zhao Neng ten more lashes. He was afraid that Zhao Neng's life would be in danger, so he hesitated whether to continue lashing him.
, turned around and saw Lin Tingxun, the head of the family.
"Pump!" Lin Tingxun said through gritted teeth.
"Zhao Neng has made mistakes, and mistakes will not lead to death!" Lin Xuzong knelt forward and knelt in front of his father Lin Tingxun, saying, "Aren't there still ten lashes? I took it from the head office for him. Father, you have to remember it too.
Zhao Neng has served you for three years, you can't really beat him to death. Lin Fu has resentment in his heart, and this is enough. Father, you can't chill the hearts of the people. Who else will serve the Lin family in the future?"
"Ting Xun, this child Zhao Neng is not bad at heart, give him a chance to change his ways." At this time, the clan elders and others came forward to intercede for Zhao Neng.
"Since you are willing to take the punishment for Zhao Neng, you can take the remaining ten lashes!" Lin Tingxun winked at the executioner mercilessly, then turned back to look into his son's eyes, and said in his heart: No beatings today.
You guys, you don’t know who is the head of the Lin family.
The two people came over, one on the left and the other on the right, holding Lin Xuzong and dragging him to the middle of the side hall. They also whispered in Lin Xuzong's ear: "Second Young Master, I'm sorry, please bear with me." They gave Lin Xuzong a piece of chewing wood to chew on, so that he could eat and live.
There was some pain. Zhao Neng struggled to take the remaining ten lashes, but passed out. Lin Xuzong received ten lashes, endured the pain and limped to his feet, and looked at his father: "Is that enough?"
"I have to let you remember this lesson," Lin Tingxun glanced at Zhao Neng, the son of the family who was lying on the bricks with only the breath of gossamer left, and ordered the people around him, "Send him to Anjiyuan and get good medicine for him...
..." Then he said to his son Lin Xunzong, "If you can endure the pain, I will say a few more words to you in front of your ancestors."
Everyone else saw the opportunity and retreated. The seventh lady, Gu Yingxiu, was anxious about Lin Fu's affairs, so she said to Lin Tingxun: "Master, I will go back to the big house first."
Lin Tingxun nodded, but there was no expression on his face. Gu Yingxiu was worried that Lin Fu didn't know the current situation. She thought that if he thought that Lin Xuzong would swallow his humiliation, he was wrong, and he ignored Lin Tingxun.
No matter what she thought, she hurriedly left the ancestral hall first.
Lin Tingxun closed the door lightly and said to Xu Zong who was standing lamely in the middle of the side hall: "I know you are not willing to give in. There are many places where you are not willing to give in. I hope you can bear with this matter today. I have also seen it.
When I missed it, Lin Fu came back completely transformed. You don’t have to worry about anything, he will leave Shanglin and he won’t be able to pose any threat to you in the future..."
"You didn't put a knife on his neck for him. He was kneeling like a dog in public and couldn't move!" Lin Xuzong said coldly, showing no respect for his father Lin Tingxun in his words.
"Don't you even have the patience to wait for me to die!" Lin Tingxun was breathless and shouted sternly, "Do you know who Lin Fu saved in the county today? He has a reputation, so you have to act rashly and bring trouble to others.
If you leave any evidence behind, the Lin family will destroy you!"
"Then don't leave any clues." Lin Xuzong limped out of the East Wing Hall and asked his wife and servants who were guarding the yard to help him lie down on the soft couch. He did not return to the big house and had people carry him directly.
Go up to a villa on the south bank of Shanglin River.
************************
Gu Yingxiu walked out of the ancestral hall, and the carriage stopped outside the ancestral hall.
The moon was bright and clear, and the sky and the earth seemed to be covered with a veil. It seemed that the clear light was wandering, but it was not clear from a distance. There were also layers of darkness in the fields, which looked like dark waves. Gu Yingxiu was about to get into the carriage when she saw Zhao Hu
His mother, Ms. Zhao, stood by the carriage to wait on her, not her former carriage driver, Old Man Zhao.
Peering at Mr. Zhao's eyes and looking towards the carriage curtain, Gu Yingxiu said to the girl Cui'er next to her: "Let me be alone in the car for a while..." She stepped on the pedal and got into the car, lifting the curtain, although for a moment
Although I can't adapt to the dark environment, I can still feel the familiar masculine scent.
Gu Yingxiu sat down, put down the car curtain, and adjusted to the dark environment in the car, then she vaguely saw the shadow of Lin Fu sitting casually on the brocade couch, and said: "How dare you come..." She felt her own voice
A little older, Mrs. Zhao, her personal maid and two strong women were following her outside the carriage. If anyone knew that there was a man hiding in her carriage, she would be dragged into the ancestral hall and beaten with thirty lashes.
A whip of flesh. In order to speak in a lower voice, Gu Yingxiu leaned towards Lin Fu. In the darkness, she saw that his eyes were like shiny beads in the dark night. She was originally full of resentment and wanted to blame, but her heart softened for no reason.
He came down and said, "Why did you come to find me? You should walk as far away as you need now."
"Lin Tingxun won't kill me." Lin Fu smelled the pleasant aroma coming from Gu Yingxiu. After Gu Yingxiu entered the Lin family, this was the first time he was so close to her. Compared with what he remembered, Gu Yingxiu was so close.
The fragrance on Yingxiu's body is warmer and more attractive.
"Lin Tingxun can't, Lin Xuzong will. Lin Xuzong has the heart to eat you alive!" Gu Yingxiu felt Lin Fu's hot breath blowing strangely on her face, and turned her face slightly, "Yes, without Lin Tingxun's approval, Lin Xuzong can't send him.
Rural camp, but do you think Lin Xuzong doesn’t have any other people around him?"
"Then I'll wait until he sends someone to kill him, and then it's okay to give you another gift to Sister Yingxiu." Lin Fu said with a smile.
"What?" Gu Yingxiu listened to Lin Fu's relaxed tone and what he meant. She didn't worry about the subordinates Lin Xuzong secretly trained at all. She asked him in surprise, "Are you going to deliberately anger Lin Xuzong today?"
"Sister Yingxiu, you know well in your heart that the master of the family will eventually pass on the family business to the second son. To suppress him at this time is just because the master is unwilling to leave and is unwilling to be an empty emperor before he dies!"
Lin Fu said that there are some things in the Lin clan that many people can see clearly. Lin Tingxun is not energetic and is getting older day by day. However, he is unwilling to lose the power in the clan to an ambitious man and there is a gap between father and son long before his death.
Second son Lin Xunzong, it was only in these years that he thought about letting the seventh lady show up for him so that the situation would always be under his control - this is why the second son Lin Xuzong is still hostile to Gu Yingxiu.
Lin Tingxun's refusal to delegate power does not mean that the second son, Lin Xuzong, will have patience. Although Lin Xuzong is unlikely to commit the scandal of killing his father and seizing power, as long as the nail of Gu Yingxiu is removed, Lin Xuzong will take it for granted.
He is sure to force him to become the "overlord".
"You are really different from before. You have become a bold master," Gu Yingxiu said with a sigh. She didn't expect that Lin Fu could see through the subtleties. He thought that someone would finally know about his suffering over the years.
, she was struggling to hold the brocade couch with her hands, and wanted to sit down, but thinking that the two of them were so close, wouldn't they just sit in his arms? Thinking of this, Gu Yingxiu's face felt a little hot, and she said, "Someone spread the news today.
The news came that you were causing trouble in the county, and I wanted to catch Zhao Hu and teach him a lesson, but I didn’t expect you to be the one causing the trouble..."
"What's wrong?" Lin Fu asked.
"Do you know who you saved in the county and left without saying a word? You showed no intention of repaying such a great kindness to others?" Gu Yingxiu asked.
"..." Lin Fu grinned. Seeing Gu Yingxiu holding her hands in front of him, he had the idea of hugging her into his arms.
Let’s ask for it together and say yes.”
"What are you talking about? What others owe you, why do you ask for it from me?" Gu Yingxiu said, feeling that saying this was a bit flirtatious, and her ears felt slightly hot. She was about to elaborate on this matter with him, but at this time she slowly
The slowly moving carriage stopped and got off, and heard Zhao Hu's mother in front of the carriage asking: "Who?"
Gu Yingxiu was shocked. If anyone found her hiding in the same carriage with Lin Fu at this time, there would be no good consequences. Her hands were weak and she could not hold the brocade couch, and she fell into Lin Fu's arms, her heart aching.
When she raises her throat, she is only worried about who is blocking her carriage in front of you?
