"When you come, you will be treated according to the family law. Each of Lin Quan and Qian's family will receive fifty floggings. From now on, Lin Quan will no longer be in charge of the grain and oil shop, and you are no longer suitable to stay in Hangzhou. I have found a place for you, the Lin family in Shaoxing
The boat shop is short of a shopkeeper, Lin Quan, go and work there." Lin Boyong said coldly.
Lin Quanquan was ashen, looking up at Lin Boyong blankly. If he wanted to go to the small county town of Shaoxing to be the owner of a boat shop, he would be abandoning himself from the core of power of the Lin family. There is a precedent for this in the history of the Lin family. Anyone who is demoted is
The Lin family leaving Hangzhou basically means they have lost the trust of the head of the family. The reason why they were given a shopkeeper is that they actually have no power at all. What's more, in a small place like Shaoxing, there is no chance of success. In other words, what happened today
He has already lost his high status in the Lin family.
"This is not fair. Head of the family, your treatment is unfair. My husband is the eldest son of the third family, but you kicked us out of Hangzhou and went to other places just because of such a small matter. Could it be that you want to swallow up my third family's property?" Qian shouted loudly.
.
"What did you say?" Lin Boyong was furious. The expressions of everyone else in the hall also changed. I'm afraid Qian is crazy because he dared to say such a thing.
"Am I wrong? The three-bedroom family owns the property of the third-bedroom family. At worst, you can separate the property of the third-bedroom family, and we, the third-bedroom family, will be separated from you. We don't care about your Lin family's reputation. My natal family is not smaller than your Lin family.
You are using this to devour the three-bedroom family property from the head. Don’t think that I am a woman and don’t know this. Lin Quan, just tell me, my father-in-law is dead, and they are taking the opportunity to bully you."
"Pah, pah!" Lin Quan, whose face turned pale with anger, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped Qian's face with his palm, and while he was beating him, he yelled and cursed: "You bastard woman, I married you."
You are really unlucky for eight lifetimes. I have tolerated you for too long. If you weren’t a vulgar and violent woman, how could I go out to find women? If you weren’t jealous, how could this happen today? You bitch, you are really hateful,
Now you still dare to say such things. What about my Lin family? It’s your turn to be reviled, you bitch? Do you want me to hand over the Lin family’s property to your Qian family? Make me a sinner of the Lin family and make me sorry for the ancestors of the Lin family.
Zong? Bah! What you think is beautiful."
Qian hid while crying: "I am thinking about you. You will be kicked out of Hangzhou by them, and you have to speak for them. What will happen to you in the end?"
Lin Quan's hands hurt from being beaten, and he stood up panting, cupped his hands towards Lin Boyong and said: "Master, today I formally request to the master that I want to divorce this woman. I know that the Qian family and my Lin family have a business relationship.
There was a lot of cooperation, but I can no longer stand this woman. I am willing to accept the punishment from the head of the family, but I must divorce this woman before I leave. I have had enough."
Lin Boyong looked at Lin Quan quietly, nodded slowly and said: "It's my fault when it comes to this matter. It was me who made the decision for you to marry Qian. I made you suffer for the sake of business compromise. I decided to agree to your divorce.
The Qian family."
"Master!" Lin Ke, Huang Changqing and others exclaimed.
Lin Boyong stretched out his hand to stop them, and said in a deep voice: "I know that doing this will offend the Qian family, and I am afraid that the business cooperation with the Qian family will part ways, or even become rivals. But business is not the most important thing, how can our Lin family do this?
For the sake of business, we allowed such women to stay in the house and cause trouble. In the past, we indulged too much, so what happened today. Women were jealous and ruined the family, talked too much, divorced, and had no heirs. Seven reasons.
Three of the rules have been met, and the Qian family has no reason to refute it even if it comes to the Yamen. The matter has been decided."
Qian's disheveled hair looked at Lin Quan blankly and said: "You...you want to divorce me?"
Lin Quan said angrily: "I have wanted to divorce you for a long time. You are a harmful woman. You can pack your things later and I will write you a letter of divorce. Get out of here quickly."
Qian yelled "Ah" and fainted. She never expected that things would reach such a stage. Being sent home was a huge humiliation.
"Lin Quan, before your father passed away, I promised him to take good care of you and Lin Jue. But family law is family law after all. Although what happened today was wrongly done by Qian, you also have a responsibility. Let you go to Shaoxing
, it also allows you to avoid the limelight, so as not to be criticized by others in Hangzhou. You should also think about it calmly. After the news passes, I will let you come back. Don't listen to the crazy words of this woman.
In my eyes, no matter whether they are the children of the second or third family, they are all treated equally. I have said before that the next generation head of the family does not just belong to the big family, but only those who are virtuous and talented are qualified to succeed. Today in front of everyone
In front of me, I say it again, lest you think I have selfish motives in private."
Although Lin Quan was unwilling in every way, he also knew that this matter could not be changed and he could only accept the punishment. So he knelt down and kowtowed with a mournful face and said: "Thank you, Master, my nephew will obey your orders."
In the evening, Qian's face was full of tears, and she got into the carriage with some loose clothes. She carried the divorce letter written by Lin Quan in her arms. How could she have expected that things would turn out like this, and why she would end up like this?
.It is really unexpected that Lin Quan is so heartless and the Lin family is so cold.
After walking through the streets and lighting the lanterns, she returned to her parents' home in the east of the city. When she saw the surprised faces of her parents, Qian couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed to the ground crying. Her father Qian Zhongze
After seeing the divorce letter, he cursed and tore it into pieces.
"You Lin Boyong, you treat my daughter like this. This is a great disgrace to my Qian family. My Qian family and your Lin family are at odds with each other."
…
Lin Quan left Hangzhou for Shaoxing the next morning. Although he was reluctant in every possible way, he had no choice but to do so. The head of the family's words were an ironclad order, and he had to obey. But the good news is that he finally got rid of the Qian family's control and took over the Qian family.
Xiu left home and regained his freedom, which was what he had dreamed of doing. His mood at this time could be described as a mixture of sadness and joy.
Huang Changqing personally sent Lin Quan aboard the ship, which moved Lin Quan very much. Before leaving, Huang Changqing pulled Lin Quan to a quiet place in the cabin to talk.
"Sir, don't blame the family master. You know he has to do this. Besides, the family master has made it very clear that you are just going to Shaoxing to avoid the limelight. Don't feel unhappy because of this matter."
"I know, how can I blame the head of the family? I hate that woman for making me unable to live in peace. Uncle Changqing, if you have a chance, please say a few nice words for me and let me return to Hangzhou as soon as possible?"
"Don't worry, I will do it. By the way, I thought about it all night last night, and I have a lot of unanswered questions in my mind. I want to ask you a few things for confirmation."
"What's the matter? Uncle Changqing can just ask."
"What I find strange is how did Mr. Qian know about your affairs outside? I know about this matter, but not many people in the house know about it. Even those who know about this matter also know about Mr. Qian's affairs.
Even if you are jealous, you won't tell her. How did she know?" Huang Changqing asked in a low voice.
Lin Quan scratched his head and frowned and said: "I'm also confused. She didn't know about it for two years. How could she suddenly know it in such detail? There was no sign of it beforehand. It stands to reason that if she had known about it a long time ago, she would never have been so calm.
, I'm afraid she's been in trouble for a long time. I was so anxious to get rid of her yesterday that I forgot to ask her where she got it. I'm afraid she wouldn't tell me if I asked."
Huang Changqing nodded and said: "That's why I feel strange. This matter must have been known to Qian yesterday, so she immediately brought people to make trouble. The person who leaked the news probably knew that you were there at noon, so he told
Qian. The question is, who would do this? Only me and the three young masters of Dafang know about this matter. I will definitely not tell it. I also asked the three young masters of Dafang last night.
They swore that it was not them who leaked the news. I also believe it was not them, because they have known about this for more than a day or two. If they had wanted to do this, they would have done it long ago."
Lin Quan sighed: "I blame my bad luck. I don't know which villain I offended. I have no doubts about my cousins and Uncle Changqing."
Huang Changqing said: "I know. I want to ask you, have you offended anyone recently? In my opinion, this matter is very strange. Now the matter is so big that it will even affect the cooperative relationship between the Lin family and the Qian family.
It affects a lot of the Lin family's business, so I have to figure it out."
Lin Quan frowned and thought for a while and said, "Are you offending someone? If you want to offend someone... Lin Jue and I have been unhappy recently."
Huang Changqing was surprised and said: "Tell me and listen."
Lin Quan did not hide anything. He told the story of how he broke into Lin Jue's yard that day and had evil intentions with Lu Wu. He also told Huang Changqing that Lin Jue threatened him with an axe. He even asked someone to intercept Lin Jue on the way.
He also told all the things about breaking his hands and feet. At this moment, Huang Changqing was Lin Quan's most trusted person, and he did not hide anything.
Huang Changqing was greatly shocked and pondered for a long time: "Sir, please forgive me for making a bold guess. I'm afraid this matter has something to do with Lin Jue."
Lin Quan was surprised and said: "How is it possible? He doesn't know what I am doing outside, and he may not have the courage."
Huang Changqing shook his head and said: "I don't know why, but I am a little confused about Lin Jue now. After that court training, I felt that he was not the timid person we always thought he was. Who is timid?
A person who is afraid of trouble would blatantly stand up for others in court training, attack me, and kill Xu Zimao? And just now you said that he actually threatened you with an axe. Is this still done by an innocent person? Are you afraid?
I never thought he would dare to do this."
"I really didn't expect it, and it scared me at the time. Because of this, I decided to punish him for this behavior. Because there was no proof, I didn't report the matter to the head of the family. Besides, I didn't want outsiders to know about it.
After all... I went to his yard to find out about Lu Wu, and if I made it public, the Qian family would definitely make a fuss, and the head of the family would also scold me."
"So you hired someone to take revenge on him?" Huang Changqing stared at Lin Quandao.
Lin Quan smacked his lips and said, "It's really not appropriate to do this, but it really pissed me off that day."
Huang Changqing nodded and suddenly said: "Have you ever thought about why you failed? After all, Wansongling was waiting for him on the road, how could you fail?"
Lin Quan scolded: "A few idiots can't do anything. But it's strange. They didn't see him coming down the mountain until dark. They thought he wouldn't come down, so they had no choice but to give up."
Huang Changqing shook his head and said: "I don't think so. I thought Lin Jue must have noticed something, so you didn't succeed. Don't say anything for now. Let's make an assumption. Suppose Lin Jue noticed that you sent someone to intercept you on the mountain road. What will happen to him?"
Lin Quan said in astonishment: "He will definitely take careful precautions, and maybe he will wait for an opportunity to retaliate against me."
Huang Changqing nodded and said: "That's it. He hasn't been to Wansongling in the past few days. Does this mean that he won't give you a chance to take action? If he knows what you are doing outside, will he leak it?" What about revenge? Don’t think that he definitely doesn’t know what you are doing outside. In fact, his behavior is very suspicious. He goes to Chunlai Tea House to drink tea every day these days. Why is this? Chunlai Tea House and Yingxiang Ju only have Across the road. I'm afraid the purpose of where he went was to investigate your whereabouts. Based on all the situations that happened between you and him, I have to draw a conclusion. This may be what Lin Jue did secretly."
Lin Quan took a breath, lowered his head and thought for a while. It seemed that Huang Changqing's analysis was irrefutable. If Lin Jue knew that he was going to be disadvantageous to him, it was completely reasonable for him to fight back. The only reason that could be ruled out was that he He didn't know the fact that he was raising a woman outside. But Lin Jue's behavior at Chunlai Tea House after a few days away made people think that he knew about it and was secretly observing him. The whole thing was linked together, which made Lin Quan feel that he was behind the scenes. Chill.
"It's really him. Is this bitch going against heaven?" Lin Quan cursed.
"You can't blame him. It was you who bullied the maid in his house and hired someone to break his hands and feet. It was reasonable for him to fight back." Huang Changqing said softly.
"Uncle Changqing, how can you help him speak? No, I want to find out this matter. This bastard is hurting me behind my back, how can I spare him?" Lin Quan said angrily.
"Master, please be patient. You can't go to him to argue, because there is no evidence to accuse him. Unless you are willing to disclose that you hired thugs to deal with him. Even so, there is only some causal connection, but no real evidence. No one knows whether he revealed the information, or whether he went to Chunlai Tea House to track your whereabouts. Everything is the result of our analysis, but there is no evidence. If he denies it, no one can What to do with him."
"You mean, he has done this to me, so I can only cover my mouth and suffer the consequences? I am about to be kicked out of Hangzhou City. This is all his fault, and I can only pretend not to know?" Lin Quan Extremely angry.
"Sir, please calm down. What can you do if you are so angry? I came here to ask these questions today just to clarify this matter. His actions have not only harmed you, but also caused great harm to the Lin family. As long as the head of the family is persuaded to believe this, the head of the family will not let him go. But before that, we must make him think that we are unaware of it and make him feel complacent. I understand your feelings. After all, you are being played by Lin Jue. The feeling in his hand is very bad, but after this incident, can you still look down on him? He plotted against you quietly, and his scheme is by no means simple."
Lin Quan slowly calmed down. Huang Changqing was right. There was no evidence at this time, so he could not do anything to Lin Jue. On the contrary, if he made a fuss and hired a murderer, it would be exposed, which would be detrimental to him. This matter cannot be done. From the bright side, we still have to do it secretly.
"Uncle Changqing, you are right. This matter should not be alarmed. It is better to pretend not to know how to catch him secretly and take revenge. Uncle Changqing was plotted by him, and now I am also plotted by him. Because of this matter, my Lin family and Qian family
Our cooperation has also gone our separate ways, and I am afraid that we will become enemies in the future. This kid is seeking death. Once he is caught doing evil things, Uncle Changqing must not be merciful. He vented this bad breath on my behalf."
"Don't worry, I will definitely say this for you." Huang Changqing vowed.
…
After sending Lin Quan away, Huang Changqing returned to Lin's house. He meditated alone in his residence for a long time, and then hurried to the back house of the compound.
Lin Boyong was in a bad mood because of what happened yesterday. He was sitting in the study reading a book to soothe his mood. Seeing Huang Changqing come in, Lin Boyong put down the book and asked: "Send away?"
"Well, let's send it off."
"Did you say anything to complain about?"
"That's not true. He also knows that he has brought it upon himself. But he looks quite pitiful. Divorcing his wife and leaving alone is quite sad."
Lin Boyong nodded and said: "Yes, just let him come back in a few months. As for his wife, it doesn't matter. As a descendant of the Lin family, am I afraid that I won't have a well-matched woman to marry?"
Huang Changqing nodded in agreement, hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, there is something that Changqing doesn't know whether to talk about or not."
Lin Boyong smiled and said: "I knew you had something to do. When you walked in, you looked worried. That's all."
Huang Changqing whispered: "Master, what happened yesterday, did the master think that it was the result of someone's interference and design?"
Lin Boyong was stunned. Huang Changqing leaned over and whispered in his ear, telling all the news he had just received from Lin Quan and his own analysis. As Lin Boyong listened, his whole face changed color and his brows knitted together.
pimple.
"Are you serious about what you said?" Lin Boyong asked sternly.
"How dare Changqing talk nonsense about such a big matter? How dare Changqing talk nonsense?" Huang Changqing said hurriedly.
Lin Boyong slowly stood up and walked around, turned around and asked: "Did Lin Quan really intend to attack Lin Jue in Wansongling? Did he want to break his hands and feet and make him disabled?"
"It's absolutely true. It's not difficult to find out. He said he asked his personal servant Ma Youcai to hire a few gangsters on the street to do it. Ma Youcai followed Lin Quan to Shaoxing, and then sent someone to Shaoxing secretly to find Ma Youcai.
Just ask and you will know.”
Lin Boyong shouted coldly: "This bastard, I still feel sympathy for him. He actually has evil thoughts towards the Lin family himself. He is simply worse than a beast."
"So...Chang Qing suggested to the head of the family that Lin Quan should not let him go back to Hangzhou. He will succeed more than fail, and his intentions are not right. Sooner or later something will happen if he returns to Hangzhou. This incident is just the right time to drive him away. The eldest son, the eldest son,
I have long been full of opinions about him. He likes to point fingers when things are not done well."
Lin Boyong glanced coldly at Huang Changqing, who quickly shut up and lowered his head.
Lin Boyong pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Did Lin Jue really go to Chunlai Tea House for a few days to spy on Lin Quan's whereabouts?"
"Master, this is definitely the case. It is not difficult to verify this matter. Just send someone to Chunlai Tea House and ask the clerk. The whole thing has a cause and effect, and various signs indicate that this is exactly what Lin Jue did. Of course,
There is no definite evidence, Changqing is just analyzing and speculating. Changqing didn’t dare to talk nonsense, but the matter is too important, and Changqing has to tell the family head.”
Lin Boyong nodded and said: "You did a good job. Go collect the evidence and verify it one by one. If it is really Lin Jue who did it, the Lin family will not tolerate him. He not only set up his brother, but also caused my Lin family to suffer a huge loss."
I am both angry and ashamed at the loss. My third brother passed away so early, and the two sons he left behind were so ruined, which is really heartbreaking."
"Don't be sad, head of the family. The head of the family has worked hard to teach them, but if they want to become adults, they still have to rely on themselves. It's not a bad thing to learn their true identity as soon as possible. At least they don't have to be deceived."
Lin Boyong breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "It's really difficult. Why is it so difficult? I, Lin Boyong, want to make the Lin family glorious again, why are they just unwilling to work together? You go ahead, I'll be quiet for a while.
.By the way, this matter is strictly confidential, and no word is allowed to be revealed until it is clarified. After all, everything is speculation, and I still hope it is not true."
