How the two brothers Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian suddenly appeared in the Lin Family Villa is a mystery. Lin Boyong only knew that the second brother suddenly had a sudden impulse after dark and wanted to visit the Villa. He said that the Lin family mansion was too noisy and wanted to find a quiet and elegant place.
Have a good chat with yourself about your daily life and the future of the Lin family.
Of course Lin Boyong would not refuse. Since his second brother wanted to come to the Villa for a stroll, he should accompany him. Besides, the Lin Family Villa was indeed a quiet place. He would occasionally stay here for a few days. Whenever he was feeling complicated, he would come here.
Coming here can calm down the complicated mood. Many of the Lin family's recent decisions were actually made by Lin Boyong's meditation in the villa.
However, when the two came to Bieyuan, they suddenly found that there was someone here. After asking the people at the door, they found out that it was Lin Ke who invited Lin Jue to drink here. Lin Boyong was very surprised by this. When did Ke'er have such a good relationship with Lin Jue?
To the point where we secretly drink together in Bieyuan?
Lin Bonian proposed not to report anyone to Lin Ke and the others, but to quietly see what the two brothers were talking about, and then suddenly show up to surprise them. This suggestion was a bit childish. Although Lin Boyong thought Bonian's idea was strange, he still
He himself actually wanted to know what Lin Ke and Lin Jue were talking about. So the two stopped the servant's report and quietly came to the corridor outside the door.
However, they never imagined that what they heard was actually a shocking secret, a secret that they had never dreamed of. When they arrived, Lin Ke thought that Lin Jue had drunk poisoned wine and began to feel complacent.
When answering Lin Jue's questions defensively, this was the focus of the conversation between the two. Therefore, although the two missed some of the previous conversations between Lin Ke and Lin Jue, they still heard the whole thing clearly.
, clear at a glance.
When Lin Ke was about to continue killing Lin Jue with his sword, the two finally appeared from outside the door.
…
"Lin Ke, if you don't stop, how could you do such a heinous thing? You have actually been colluding with pirates for more than ten years? Lin Ke, you are so shocking to us and so disappointing. Do you know
What kind of serious crime is this? Everyone in the Lin family will die in your hands. How can you be so stupid?" Lin Bonian stamped his feet and shouted after entering the door.
"Second uncle, I...I..." Lin Ke shouted in panic.
"Ke'er, you have disappointed dad so much. Dad thought... thought... you were the most anticipated one in the Lin family. But I didn't expect... you would do such a heinous thing. Why did you do this?
?Do you know...Daddy's heart...is bleeding." Lin Boyong's body was trembling, and he burst into tears.
Lin Ke's whole body was cold and his body was shaking like chaff. He didn't understand how things could become like this. He tried every means to hide it, even killing people to silence him. However, what happened tonight made everything exposed. Moreover, he was seduced by Lin Jue.
If he said it himself, his father and second uncle must have heard it all, and there is no denying it.
Lin Ke looked around in panic. He saw Lin Jue standing not far away, frowning. He felt that there seemed to be a smile on the corner of Lin Jue's mouth, as if he was proud of the success of his setup. For a moment, Lin Ke
Forgetting that all this was his own fault, and attributing everything to Lin Jue, it was he who let his secrets be exposed, and it was he who made him have no way out.
"I'm going to kill you, you're hurting me!" Lin Ke yelled, raised his sword and rushed towards Lin Jue. The long sword made an arc and slashed towards Lin Jue's head. He wanted to kill this third-bedroom man with one sword.
Bastard, to relieve the hatred in my heart.
Of course, Lin Jue couldn't shoot Lin Ke with a gun in front of Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian. Lin Jue had actually been prepared for it, because in this case Lin Ke might jump over the wall in a hurry, so he took advantage of the chaos just now and took advantage of the situation.
He picked up a stool beside him. Seeing Lin Ke slashing at him, Lin Jue raised his foot to pick up the stool and held the legs of the stool to block. The long sword slashed with a sound, and only half of the wood was left in Lin Jue's hand.
Lin Ke rushed forward and continued to kill without mercy, but Lin Boyong shouted angrily with a trembling voice: "Don't stop yet? Evil! Did you kill him and then silence him? Now your second uncle and I both know about this.
You're just going to kill us too. You bastard, why don't you stop? Do you want to commit more crimes?"
Lin Ke's body was frozen as he raised his sword. His father's words were like a ladle of ice water poured down from his pocket, which not only extinguished his impulse, but also completely woke him up. After what happened today, he had already reached a dead end.
.
The long sword in Lin Ke's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he slowly knelt down on the ground. Tears welled up in his eyes. He shook his head and shouted: "Dad, second uncle, I am unworthy. I am unworthy of the Lin family and unworthy of my ancestors."
.The child is guilty, please forgive me."
Lin Boyong staggered forward and sighed: "Ke'er, I want you to tell daddy personally that none of that is true. How could you collude with pirates? How could you do such a thing? Tell daddy
, Daddy will believe you. Daddy doesn’t believe you would collude with pirates."
Lin Ke cried and said: "Dad, the child is unfilial. How can the child lie to his father? You have all heard it, how can the child deny it? But the son really has no choice. Daddy still remembers that thirteen years ago, the child led the sea
Was it about a ship going to another country for trade? The child came back alone that time. The ship was lost and the person died. Afterwards, the child said that he encountered a storm and that he almost died and came back alive... But in fact... he fell into the sea by mistake.
They captured the island where bandits were inhabited. The pirates were very ferocious. My child watched them kill the boatman and shopkeeper on my ship. They gouged out their eyes, cut off their tongues, cut off their hands and feet, and threw them into the sea to feed the sharks. My child was scared.
It’s time to die, but the child doesn’t want to die.”
Lin Boyong closed his eyes and shook his head, tears rolling down his face.
"They wanted to take the boy to behead him, so I could only reveal my identity, tell them that I was the eldest son of the Lin family in Hangzhou, tell them that the Lin family could pay a ransom to save me, and beg them to spare my life. But they refused.
They asked me to be their internal agent in Hangzhou City, to work for them, to find out information for them, and to give them money and food supplies every year. In order to survive, the boy had no choice but to agree to them, and wrote a letter of guarantee to surrender to them as evidence. They... they even
They also forced the baby... forced the baby to kill with his own hands. The baby... the baby was forced by them to kill two of their own boatmen. Wuwu... Dad, the baby... I really don't want to do this, but I can't help it.
.”
Lin Boyong burst into tears. Faced with Lin Ke's crying and imagining the situation at that time, he felt distressed and distressed, and he blamed himself endlessly.
"Ke'er, it's all dad's fault. If dad wasn't eager to give you experience, why would he let you personally take the ship out to sea to do business in Fan Country? If you didn't go to sea, would something like this happen there? It's all dad's fault.
, let my son fall into the hands of pirates, so that... to this point."
Lin Ke cried: "Dad, this is none of your business. It's because of my son's misfortune and his bad luck. After it happened, I tried every means to cover it up, but I know that this day will come and my father will eventually know about it.
Disappointing his father. Over the past ten years, the child has had a hard time. Do you know how tiring it is to hide such a big secret in your heart? The son has difficulty eating, sleeping, and is always worried that things will be exposed.
The pirates threatened me, and my son had to do things for them again and again. Every time I did something, my son felt guilty. In fact, my son's life would be worse than death."
Lin Boyong reached out and stroked Lin Ke's bun, tears streaming down his face.
Lin Jue frowned as he looked at the bitter words of the father and son. He had to say that the father-son relationship between Lin Boyong and Lin Ke was really deep. Lin Boyong never denounced his love for this eldest son because his eldest son behaved well.
Lin Boyong has grown up in a prudent manner and is regarded as a leader among the younger generations. He was originally his proudest and most beloved son, but now it was revealed that he had committed such a treasonous act. You can imagine the loss and pain in Lin Boyong's heart.
However, it is useless to feel bitter and sad at this moment. Should this matter be settled? Lin Boyong is addicted to emotions, will he act emotionally and ignore the threat this matter brings to the Lin family? Lin Jue believes that Lin Boyong will not
Lose your mind.
Standing aside, Lin Bonian's eyes were also red. But his sadness was that he felt sorry for his brother. He understood the pain in his brother's heart at the moment, but he was much more clear-headed and rational. This matter could not be indulged. Lin
Ke colluded with the pirates and worked for the pirates for more than ten years. Once this matter was exposed, the entire Lin family would be ruined and no one would survive. Lin Jue did not exaggerate when he said that it was a matter of life and death for the entire family. If his brother
Acting emotionally will be extremely dangerous.
"Brother, now that things have come to a head, we have to find a way. This matter is not trivial. It affects the lives of the entire Lin family." Lin Bonian bent down and whispered in Lin Boyong's ear.
Lin Boyong's face was ashen. He stood up slowly and wiped the old muddy tears in the corner of his eyes with his sleeve. The expression on his face became solemn. Lin Ke, who was crying with his father, noticed something strange and stopped crying.
He looked up at Lin Boyong in surprise.
Lin Boyong sighed and spoke slowly: "Ke'er, are all the things you and Lin Jue said just now true? For so many years, you have been using your family's money to fund the pirates, and you have given them a lot of food and supplies every year.
Is it funded?”
"Dad...the child is forced to do nothing. There is no way..." Lin Ke shouted.
"You just say yes or no?" Lin Boyong said solemnly.
"Yes..." Lin Ke whispered.
"It was you who informed the pirates that the birthday gift was robbed. It was you who learned about Lin Jue's trip to Guishan Island from me and reported it to the bandits, almost costing Lin Jue his life, right?"
"……yes."
"This time the prince and the magistrate Yan went to suppress the bandits. It was you who inquired about the information and informed the pirates. This almost caused the bandit suppression to fail, and almost caused Lin Jue and the others to die on the island. Isn't that right?"
"...Yes." Lin Ke whispered. By now, he knew that any denial would be useless.
Lin Boyong sighed heavily and said: "Ke'er, do you know what the crime of being a bandit is? Do you know what your actions will bring to the Lin family? The whole Lin family will be punished for this matter.
If you kill them, no one will survive. Do you understand?"
Lin Ke's face turned pale and he whispered: "My child... I understand. But dad, no one will know about this. Maybe... maybe nothing will happen. You see, if Lin Jue hadn't tricked me into saying this
You don’t know anything about it either. As long as we don’t tell it, who can know?”
"Asshole, if you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. Is there anything that is airtight in this world? Let alone such a big thing. And we are not the only people who know about it. That Hai Dongqing has now become a lost dog.
If he wants to take revenge on our Lin family, he will reveal it sooner or later. The imperial court has begun to investigate the matter, how can all this be concealed? And the Gao village owner of Guishan Island that Lin Jue mentioned is also an insider. Thank you for paying me back.
It's just a matter of luck. If it was really airtight, why would we all know about it today?" Lin Boyong shouted.
Lin Ke swallowed his foam and said: "These are the only people who know. My father and my second uncle will not report me, right? Lin Jue, won't you do the same? And that Gao Muqing, Lin Jue, you
Aren't you very good with her? Please beg her not to reveal anything, and she will definitely listen to you. Go help me and beg her to shut up. As for Hai Dongqing, he...he needs help now, as long as I continue to give him
If we provide funding, he will not make things difficult for us. As long as everyone keeps secret, what can the government find out? If they could find out, they would have found out more than ten years ago. They..."
"Shut up!" Lin Bonian finally couldn't help shouting angrily.
"Lin Ke, Lin Ke, you are still stubborn about this. You are still thinking of putting everyone in the Lin family to death in order to save their lives. How dare you continue to support Haidongqing? You are crazy.
Is your life important enough for the whole clan to be responsible for you? Important enough to turn my Lin family into a family of bandits and bring shame to our ancestors? You bastard, my Lin family has had a good reputation for hundreds of years and hundreds of people.
Human life, your father has a clear reputation for his whole life, and your second uncle and I are also an official of the imperial court, how can I be destroyed by you?"
"I...I...Second Uncle..." Lin Ke was speechless and speechless.
"You have gone crazy. We all heard and saw it just now. Not only did you let the pirates assassinate your business rivals for you, you caused trouble in the whole city. Just now, you actually killed Lin Jue and slaughtered members of the Lin family.
Man, how cruel is this? Your father and I both know this. If we don’t keep it a secret for you, will you kill us with your sword? Do you still remember the Lin family’s ancestral motto and the Lin family’s family motto? You
Are they still descendants of the Lin family?" Lin Bonian shouted angrily.
Lin Ke's face was filled with astonishment and shame.
Lin Boyong sighed loudly. Although he loved his son, he was not blind yet and agreed to Lin Ke's ridiculous requests. He actually already had an answer in his heart as to how today's matter would end. But, how could he tell the answer?
export.
Lin Bonian looked at Lin Boyong and said in a deep voice: "Brother, please let me know how to decide this matter."
Lin Boyong frowned and was silent for a long time, then said softly: "Bo Nian, I am incompetent as the head of the family. From today on, the position of the head of the family will be handed over to you. If I give birth to a child like this, I will be ashamed of my father and the ancestors of the Lin family. I should shut up and think about my mistakes from now on.
, review the mistakes.”
Lin Bonian hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Brother, you don't have to be like this. This is not your fault, it's Lin Ke's fault. A man should have the backbone to succumb to the power of pirates and become an accomplice of pirates in order to survive. This is his own fault."
choose."
Lin Boyong shook his head and said: "It is the father's fault that the son does not teach. His fault is my fault. In short, I have failed both as the head of the family and as his father. I can only pass on the position of the head of the family to you.
From now on, you will be the head of the Lin family, and you will definitely do better than my eldest brother, and the Lin family will be better in your hands than in my hands."
"No, no, no, by doing this, isn't it unfair to me? I have no desire to be the head of the family." Lin Bonian shouted hurriedly.
Lin Boyong shook his head and said: "Bo Nian, who said you have ambitions to fight for the head of the family? Don't I know you well? You and I have the best relationship as brothers. We have never blushed since we were young. But the third brother has a stubborn temper, and Lin
Jue... Lin Jue's temper is very similar to that of his third brother. I hand over the position of head of the family to you because I am responsible for the Lin family. If something like this happens to the Lin family, I bear the greatest responsibility. What dignity do I have to be the head of the family?
Bonian, this is the token of the head of the family. I will give it to you now. From now on, you will be the head of the Lin family. As for how to deal with this traitor, you can deal with it according to the family law after you become the head of the family. There is no need to worry about other things.
I... I really can't speak, so please help me."
Lin Boyong slowly took off a purple gold-inlaid ring on his thumb and handed it to Lin Bonian. It was the token of the head of the Lin family. Putting on the ring, he was the head of the Lin family.
Lin Bonian looked hesitant, as if he was thinking about reaching out to pick it up, but he was too entangled. At this moment, Lin Boyong felt sad and blamed himself, but in fact, his position was messed up. According to family law, Lin Ke's behavior will be punished the most severely. Although
The Lin family does not have the public right to impose capital punishment on the family's children, but for those who have committed the most heinous crimes in the family, successive family heads have taught that the family capital punishment must be used. In Lin Ke's case, whether it is in accordance with family law or
There is probably only one way to save the entire situation. Lin Boyong may have been unable to make this decision, and felt ashamed and blamed himself, so he decided to let himself become the head of the family and let him make the decision. But if he takes over the position of the head of the family at this moment
, he would inevitably have to bear the responsibility of dealing with Lin Ke, which was something Lin Bonian was unwilling to do.
Lin Ke watched all this with his mouth open. He watched his father hand the ring finger to his second uncle, and he didn't know how he felt. The ring finger was originally his, but what he had done now not only made him unable to
He had the opportunity to wear that ring on his hand, and even the position of head of the house that was the privilege of the big house had to be given up to others. For a moment, Lin Ke felt that he was so stupid, not only harming himself, but also harming his father. He
Looking at Lin Boyong's despairing face, I felt extremely painful in my heart.
"Dad, the position of the head of the family cannot be passed on to others. This is not your fault. The fault lies with the son. Dad, the child is unfilial. The child... knows what to do. Dad, take care of yourself. Tell mother, the son is unfilial and he will be filial again in the next life.
You two are old." Lin Ke said slowly.
Everyone looked at him in surprise when they heard this, and saw Lin Ke suddenly stand up and rush to the table, reach out and grab the tin pot containing the poisonous wine, opened the lid and poured most of the pot of wine into his mouth.
"That's poisonous wine." Lin Jue shouted loudly, then rushed over.
Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian both changed their expressions, but although they were close, they couldn't make it in time. When Lin Jue rushed over, Lin Ke had already drank half of the bottle of wine, and not a drop of it was left.
Lin Jue stretched out his hand to swat, but when he heard a "clang!", the tin pot fell to the ground. Lin Ke's hair was messy, his face was dripping with wine, and he fell to the ground.
"Hahaha, now I am apologizing. I will die to apologize for the sins I have done. Once I die, there will be no evidence to prove it, and the Lin family will be safe. Dad, can you forgive me for doing this?"
Lin Ke had a weird smile on his face and bared his teeth and said loudly.
Lin Boyong staggered forward with his hands spread out, and said with tears in his eyes: "Ke'er, Ke'er."
Lin Ke knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Boyong, gasping: "My child is unfilial. At first, my child was really greedy for life and afraid of death, which is why he caused so many troubles. Now that my child is paying for his crime with his life, you can no longer say that I am greedy for life and afraid of death." Lin Ke
Jue, tell me, am I still a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Answer me."
Lin Jue looked at Lin Ke and sighed: "Brother, why are you so anxious? There is no solution to this matter. It may not be as serious as committing suicide by taking poison."
Lin Ke said in astonishment: "Bah! Is there any other way? Didn't you say that you must die without proof?"
Lin Jue sighed: "I just thought of a way. Before I had time to tell the head of the family and my second uncle, you took poison. If you want to ensure that this matter will not involve the Lin family, you may not have to die without evidence. You can hide your name and go to another country. Let go.
There are rumors that you are missing. You can still survive by hiding in a deep mountain and old forest. Why are you so anxious?"
Lin Ke opened his mouth wide in shock, suddenly stood up, and shouted: "Antidote, I want an antidote. I want an antidote."
Lin Jue said: "You poisoned yourself, don't you have the antidote yourself? Didn't you just have a pack? You spilled it on the table in front of me, is there anything else? Why don't you take the antidote quickly?"
Lin Ke was stunned like a clay sculpture. The next moment, he rushed to the table like crazy. The package of antidote he just spilled on the table in front of Lin Jue, that was the only package.
Ah. The powder that was originally spilled on the table has melted in the dripping wine. At this moment, there is no trace of the antidote powder. Lin Ke was licking the wine on the table like crazy. He felt that there was an antidote in the wine.
The medicine melted into it, and this was his last chance.
Lin Boyong, Lin Bonian, Lin Jue and the others looked at him in surprise as he licked the dirty wine and vegetable soup on the table like a dog. Lin Boyong's face showed an expression of extreme pain. This son, facing death, was even the last bit of dignity.
None. You can imagine what he looked like when the pirates caught him. Lin Boyong wanted to stop, but he couldn't bear to do so. The method Lin Jue said was feasible, and maybe Ke'er wouldn't have to die.
.
Lin Ke licked the wine crazily, lying on the wine plate and dishes on the table, sucking what he thought was the antidote as if no one else was around. Suddenly, he leaned up and fell from the table to the ground with a thud.
He began to convulse. He drank too much poisonous wine, and he was too excited just now, and the poison had already appeared. Just as he said to Lin Jue, the poisonous wine first paralyzed the body. His body was paralyzed and could not be controlled, so he fell to the ground.
.
"Ke'er, Ke'er, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?" Lin Boyong rushed up and shouted.
"Dad...save me...save me, I don't want to die." Lin Ke shouted loudly.
"Save you, okay, where's the antidote? What kind of poison is that? What can I say to cure it?" Lin Boyong said repeatedly.
"That's..." Lin Ke's face froze. After a moment, he glanced at Lin Jue and sighed: "There is only one antidote. Other than that, there is no other antidote in the world. I originally...originally
It's...that's all, I'm dead."
Lin Boyong, Lin Bonian and Lin Jue both understood that he originally wanted to kill Lin Jue, and there was only one antidote. He held it in his hand, and Lin Jue was dead. He used this poison to make Lin Jue die tonight.
. It's a pity that fate plays tricks on people, but makes me hopeless when I have a chance to survive. This is really harmful to others and myself.
"Go and find the antidote, go and find the antidote." Lin Boyong shouted anxiously. He stood up and looked around, confused.
