"Two brothers, you are really fooling around. How can we know why the eldest brother did this? But it is a fact that the eldest brother drowned and died. The second uncle of the family went to see it in person and confirmed it. You are here now
Why are you making such a fuss? You are making such a fuss that you want to report it to the official, because you want to make the Lin family lose face. Not to mention that the death of the eldest brother was an accident, there is no doubt at all, but if you make such a fuss, you will be arrested even if nothing happens.
It is said that something is wrong. When the government comes, they will conduct autopsies indiscriminately. My Lin family will be in a state of chaos. After the death of my eldest brother, I will be tortured by those in the government. Do you want your eldest brother to die in peace?
?If you think the cause of eldest brother's death is suspicious, just go and investigate it yourself, but you are absolutely not allowed to report it to the official. You can go find it out yourself and don't embarrass the Lin family."
"Oh! You have such a loud tone. When will it be your turn to teach us a lesson? Who do you think you are? Do we need your permission to do what we want to do?" Lin Run scolded loudly.
"Who am I? The head of the family has personally appointed me to be solely responsible for the funeral of my eldest brother. From now on, the whole family will obey my command. Anyone who dares not to listen to what the head of the family has said will be dealt with according to the family law." Lin Jue shouted.
"What? How is it possible? Daddy will ask you to be responsible for my eldest brother's funeral? Are you kidding me?" Lin Run shouted.
"Second uncle can testify. What the head of the family said in front of second uncle, how can I say nonsense? Second uncle, please tell them." Lin Jue looked at Lin Bonian and said.
Lin Bonian scratched his head. Lin Boyong had never said such a thing, but wanted to host the funeral himself. He also didn't say anything about family law. But until now, he couldn't expose it, so he could only nod and said: "That's true, I
I was there at the time.”
Lin Song and Lin Run were very surprised. Logically speaking, this matter could not happen to Lin Jue. It was really strange. But they actually didn't care. Even if it was true, so what? Even if it was the second uncle, they
Don't care either.
"So what if you preside over the funeral? You have no control over our affairs, and you have no control over what we do." Lin Song shouted.
Lin Jue said coldly: "I can't control it, but the family law can. From now on, you two will be responsible for setting up the mourning hall and preparing to welcome the mourners. If you continue to say nonsense and make people feel uneasy, don't blame me for being rude.
"
"Shouting? You're not polite? Are you crazy? What can you do?" Lin Run was furious and shouted loudly with his hands on his hips.
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "Uncle Changqing, Zhao Liancheng, please listen to me. The head of the family has said that everyone in the family will listen to my arrangements and must not violate it. The second uncle can testify. From now on, you two will gather together to protect the family.
The court servants obey my command. Anyone who messes around in the Lin family at this time will be dealt with according to the family law. Do you hear me?"
Huang Changqing and Zhao Liancheng stood nearby without daring to say a word, not knowing what to do after hearing this.
Lin Jue shouted: "What? Do you want to be the first to disobey? Okay, then we will drive you out of the Lin family first. Loyalty is shown in times of crisis. Now that the eldest son has passed away and the head of the family has fallen ill, you have become alienated."
.Very good. I’ll start with you.”
Huang Changqing was still hesitant, but Zhao Liancheng saw the opportunity. The eldest son died, and the situation in the family was about to change. Zhao Liancheng was an extremely shrewd person, and his mind worked very quickly. This moment might be his chance to save money every day.
I have been working as an errand boy under the shadow of my father-in-law. Maybe this time I can hold my thigh. Mr. Lin Jue of the third room has been very popular recently, and I have long wanted to hang out with him. If I don’t respond at this time, I will be more
When.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin Jue. Who dares to act recklessly at this time? I, Zhao Liancheng, will be the first to refuse." Zhao Liancheng shouted.
"Zhao Liancheng, are you fucking crazy? Did the dog eat the courage of the leopard?" Lin Run cursed.
Zhao Liancheng swallowed and spit, glanced at Lin Jue, raised his chest and said: "In times of crisis, you will see the truth. I, Zhao Liancheng, only listen to the master of the family. I dare not disobey the order of the master of the family."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Okay, Zhao Liancheng, I will report back to the head of the family on your performance today. Zhao Liancheng, listen carefully. We will gather the servants to guard the courtyard. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be tied up and thrown into the woodshed in the back garden."
.If the two eldest sons dare to go out even half a step, do this. My second uncle and I will support you in everything."
Zhao Liancheng's face turned red with excitement, and he felt the pleasure of rebelling and doing whatever he wanted.
"You bastard, I'll beat you to death, you little slave." Lin Run angrily rushed forward and punched Zhao Liancheng in the face with his fist. Zhao Liancheng couldn't dodge and was punched heavily in the eye. He let out an ouch.
Covering his face and shouting.
Lin Run refused to give up, punching and kicking Zhao Liancheng, and kept cursing in his mouth. Lin Jue shouted coldly: "Zhao Liancheng, why don't you take him? What did I say?"
Zhao Liancheng became emboldened, covered his eyes and shouted: "Third Young Master, if you do this again, I won't be polite."
"I want to see how rude you are. It's too late for you." Lin Run cursed angrily and kept beating him.
Zhao Liancheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and stretched out his hand to twist one of Lin Run's arms and twist it with force. Lin Run screamed and cursed in pain, but his pampered body had no strength to resist the strong and strong Zhao Liancheng.
Zhao Liancheng used secret force to twist Lin Run's joints, his heart filled with pleasure.
"Second Master, Mr. Lin Jue, how should we deal with it?"
"Tie them up and throw them into the firewood shed at the back. Let them out when they stop messing around." Lin Jue shouted.
Zhao Liancheng nodded and shouted loudly: "Bring a rope, bring a rope, why are you standing there?"
Several servants looked at all this in astonishment. They were originally in great awe of the eldest young masters, but now when they saw Zhao Liancheng attacking the third young master first, this sense of awe disappeared. They suddenly realized that the Lin family seemed to
It's really a big change.
Someone carefully handed over the rope. As long as one person obeyed the order, the others obeyed without any burden. Several people came forward to help and tied up Lin Run, who was noisy and cursing, into a pig.
Lin Song stared at all this with his mouth agape. He suddenly understood that Lin Jue was not joking, he was serious. If he made trouble again at this moment, it would be unwise. A good man will not suffer the loss in front of him, and Lin Jue's rebellious behavior must be retaliated.
Zhao Liancheng, this bitch slave, needs to be taught a lesson, but not now. When dad wakes up, he will report to dad. Someone is going to seize power in the Lin family, and dad will not ignore it.
Lin Bonian frowned and said nothing. He wanted to stop Lin Jue's behavior, but he felt that it shouldn't be stopped. On the one hand, he admired Lin Jue's courage. At this time, he really needed thunderous means, otherwise he might not be able to control these two nephews.
Son. On the other hand, he was also a little worried. His brother was ill in bed, and he and Lin Jue did this. What would his brother think if he knew it? But since Lin Jue had already done this, he let him go. Let the two eldest brothers do it.
If you mess around, things will get worse.
"Lin Jue, you will pay the price for this. Do you know what you are doing?" Lin Song gritted his teeth and said coldly.
Lin Jue said coldly: "Second Young Master, of course I know what I am doing. I am letting the Lin family get through this mess. I am thinking about the overall situation of the Lin family. If anyone wants to blame me afterwards, let them blame it.
.I don’t care. Second Young Master, you’d better advise Third Young Master to stop making trouble, otherwise, I won’t mind giving him some pain.”
Lin Song glared at Lin Jue fiercely for a long time, and finally turned to Lin Run, who was cursing endlessly: "Third brother, a good man will not suffer the loss in front of you, please calm down for a while. We will settle these accounts with him later, and now someone wants to seize power.
We can only endure it for the time being. When my eldest brother is buried and my father's condition improves, we will settle the score with them again."
…
Under the auspices of Lin Bonian and Lin Jue, the chaos in the Lin family was finally reversed. After Lin Jue tied up the third son, Lin Run, and threw him into the backyard woodshed, everyone, including the housewife, also
Dare to make trouble again. Lin Boyong was confused and couldn't complain even if he wanted to. Besides, they were also worried that it would aggravate the family master's condition.
Lin Ke's funeral was finally carried out smoothly.
Lin Boyong truly loved Lin Ke. Lin Ke's coffin was made of precious golden nanmu, which Lin Boyong had prepared for himself a hundred years later. Lin Boyong had already said before he fell ill that he would have a grand burial.
, and it is the kind of lavish burial that can be spent as much money as possible. If the Zhou Dynasty had not restricted the funeral etiquette, and civilians' funerals were not allowed to go beyond the etiquette system, Lin Boyong would probably have Lin Ke.
The funeral was unprecedentedly organized.
Even with these restrictions, Lin Ke's funeral was unprecedentedly grand. After the coffin was built, Lin Jue led people to carry the coffin to Yizhuang to bury Lin Ke's body in the coffin. Of course, due to the reason of indecent appearance, it was prohibited.
Everyone went to see the body. Before the coffin was nailed, Lin Ke's wife and two concubines were allowed to take a look from a distance through the curtain. Lin Ke's face was covered with a white cloth, and the three women only saw an upright body.
It's just a corpse wrapped in clothes.
After the coffin returned home, a mourning hall was set up in the front hall. Dozens of Taoist priests and monks were invited to the front hall. They chanted sutras and made dojos. The courtyard was crowded with monks and Taoists, and the sound of chanting sutras and banging bowls was endless. The whole place was filled with people.
In the Lin family, white flags were fluttering, incense was lingering, and paper ashes were flying. The cries of the women who were specially invited to cry were loud and resounded throughout the alleys.
In the next two days, there was an endless stream of people who came to express their condolences. There were some business partners in Hangzhou, as well as close friends and relatives. Of course, many people from the officialdom also came. After all, the Lin family’s friends in the officialdom did not
Young Master, even if we have no friendship with him, he still came here specifically to show his face because of the imperial envoy.
The palace also sent people to express condolences. Naturally, Guo Bing would not come in person. Instead, he entrusted the young prince Guo Kun to come to express condolences. This was enough to give the Lin family face. Guo Kun was obviously still worried about Lin Jue's rudeness last time.
Unhappily, Guo Kun ignored Lin Jue and walked away without even drinking the tea.
