Lin Boyong cupped his hands and watched Zhang Yi leave with Zhang Yanei and others. Lin Ke and others gathered around. They didn't hear the conversation between Lin Boyong and Zhang Yi, and they didn't know how Lin Boyong persuaded Zhang Yi to leave. Everyone asked questions one after another.
Lin Boyong's face was ashen and he said coldly: "We'll talk about it when we get back, isn't it embarrassing?"
Everyone did not dare to say anything and hurriedly packed up and left.
Lin Ke suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
"What are you doing?" Lin Boyong shouted.
Lin Ke said: "Dad, this matter happened tonight because of Lin Jue. Lin Jue should be in this brothel, but why is he nowhere to be seen? We need to get him out."
Before Lin Boyong could speak, Huang Changqing said with a sad face: "Master, when I took the wrong person, I sent people to search again. I searched them all, and there was no trace of him at all. There is a back door to this building. I think it has been there for a long time.
Slip away."
Lin Ke frowned and said, "Why do I feel so weird about tonight? There must be something fishy."
Lin Boyong cursed angrily: "What's wrong? Everyone go back home, I want to practice my family skills."
Huang Changqing's heart skipped a beat, and half of his body softened.
…
The lights were brightly lit in the front hall of the Lin family. When Lin Boyong stated the conditions for agreeing to Zhang Yi, Lin Ke, Lin Song, Lin Run and others cursed loudly, scolding Zhang Yi for having a big appetite and a dark mind. But Huang Changqing heard this
The result of the compromise was lying on the ground without even the strength to stand up. Not to mention the fact that this incident brought great shame to the Lin family, just the 10% extra annual account extorted by Zhang Yi cost the Lin family 10,000 yuan every year.
Two more taels of silver, and this happens every year. How can Huang Changqing have the strength to stand up after such a big disaster happened all at once?
"Master, I deserve to die. It's all my fault that led to this result. Even selling my old bones can't make up for it. Master, Changqing has betrayed the trust of the family. Changqing is willing to die to apologize." Huang Changqing
Lying on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Lin Boyong said coldly: "You really deserve to die. If I hadn't thought about you and me for so many years and how three generations of your Huang family have worked for my Lin family, I would never have tolerated you. You have indeed done a lot for my Lin family over the years."
There are few things to do, and you have helped me a lot, but you have become more and more arrogant and self-assertive. This incident happened because of your self-assertion. Do you still have the master's family in your eyes?"
"Changqing deserves to die, Changqing deserves to die." Huang Changqing kowtowed, with blood on his forehead.
"That's all, I won't punish you with family law. Just go and clean up, take your Huang family and leave my Lin family. My Lin family temple is small and cannot accommodate you." Lin Boyong waved his hand and sighed.
Huang Changqing looked at Lin Boyong in shock. He did not expect that Lin Boyong's decision was to ask all the Huang family to leave the Lin family. This was a result that Huang Changqing never expected. The Huang family has been dependent on the Lin family for several generations. There have been dozens of people for several generations.
They all work in the Lin family, and they have long been accustomed to being attached to the big tree of the Lin family. Being kicked out of the Lin family now is not a livelihood issue for the Huang family, but that they cannot accept it mentally. Leaving the Lin family, their
Life will lose its focus and have no meaning.
"No, please be kind to me. Changqing was born as a member of the Lin family and died as a ghost of the Lin family. The master of the family can't drive us away." Huang Changqing crawled to Lin Boyong's feet and hugged Lin Boyong's calf tightly. There was a lot of snot and tears, and he was heartbroken.
.
Lin Boyong snorted and did not answer. Lin Ke stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Master, Butler Huang has indeed made a big mistake. The master will punish them severely, but we cannot drive them all out of the Lin family. The Huang family has been my Lin family's servant for several generations.
Even though they are not relatives, they are better than relatives. When grandpa was still alive, he said that he would treat the Huang family as if he were his own brothers. Dad, you..."
Lin Boyong interrupted angrily: "Then if the Huang family kills people, sets fires and commits crimes, will we condone it?"
Lin Ke scratched his head and said, "Master, please calm down. Didn't Uncle Changqing make an unintentional mistake? It's not like murder or arson."
Lin Boyong spat: "By then, it will be too late."
Huang Changqing became even more sad after hearing this, lying down and wailing in a low voice. Lin Ke frowned and said: "Uncle Changqing, please go wait outside the hall and come back later, okay? Second and third, help him out."
Lin Song and Lin Run hurriedly agreed and helped Huang Changqing out of the hall. Lin Ke waited for them to go out, then leaned over Lin Boyong's ear and said: "Dad, we can't drive him away. Not to mention the relationship between their Huang family and our Lin family.
You said that Uncle Changqing has been the housekeeper in the house for so many years. How much does he know about us inside and outside? Some things cannot be told to the outside world. You drove him away in anger, in case he leaked something.
Isn’t that bad?”
Lin Boyong was stunned, frowned and shouted: "He dares, does he have the courage?"
Lin Ke laughed and said, "I believe that Uncle Changqing wouldn't dare to do this, and he wouldn't do it. But there is a contingency in everything, right? After this lesson, he still doesn't work more conscientiously? The family law punishes him severely.
That's it. Besides, one of the concubines in my room is also from the Huang family. There is also one in the third room. Isn't it possible to drive them all out? The children are already born, how can we drive them away? I understand my father's feelings.
It's true, but I still have to ask dad to think twice before acting. Our Lin family cannot be in chaos, and dad must carry it forward without leaving any hidden dangers."
Lin Boyong frowned and thought about Lin Ke's words carefully, and he felt that there was some truth in it. Huang Changqing is indeed a good helper, and he is indispensable at home. He can often give good advice on many matters of his own. He also does know that there are problems in the family.
There are few secrets, especially some shady agreements with opponents and collaborators in business. Once exposed, it is indeed fatal.
"Dad, Uncle Changqing did not do the right thing in today's matter, which caused great losses to our Lin family. But my son feels something is wrong no matter how he thinks about it. Uncle Changqing obviously went to that building to get Lin Jue
Why did he take Zhang Yanei out? Lin Jue was nowhere to be seen. How could it be such a coincidence? It didn’t matter if he took another idler, so how could he take Zhang Yanei? During this period, Lin Jue went there every day.
Wangyue Tower is extremely arrogant. He just received a beating in the court training, how dare he be so arrogant? There is a lot of doubt in this." Lin Ke said in a low voice.
"You mean... this thing... was planned?" Lin Boyong frowned.
"My son doesn't know, he just feels weird. Recently, the family has always been uneasy. Everything that happens is related to Lin Jue. Many doubts about the fourth child also point to Lin Jue. In short, my son feels
, Lin Jue seems to be planning something secretly. It always feels like he has changed. If Lin Jue knew that Uncle Changqing was going to get him, and if he devised a trick of substituting one thing for another, and Uncle Changqing was fooled, then
It’s not impossible.”
"Impossible, how could he be so scheming at such a young age? Impossible, absolutely impossible." Although Lin Boyong was moved by Lin Ke's words, his reason told him that Lin Jue might not have the ability.
"Dad, who can guarantee the scheming of people and knowing their faces but not their hearts? We used to think that he was a coward and incompetent. But who dared to believe his performance in the two court trainings? Xu Zimao from the family school was also praised because of him
He lost his job. Does dad still remember what happened when he was beaten in the last court training? Dad wanted to spare him a few sticks, but he still refused. He laughed with his mouth open. What kind of behavior is this? This is unrepentant and vindictive against us.
He is not welcome at home, so there is no guarantee that he will not do anything extreme to retaliate. Moreover, with his ability, how can he win Fang Dunru's favor? How can he actually become his disciple? What do you think about these things?
Strange. In short, my son feels that we may have underestimated him too much."
Lin Boyong fell into deep contemplation. Judging from Lin Jue's behavior during this period, there was indeed something different. However, Lin Boyong believed that Lin Jue could really devise these strategies to cause chaos in the family.
Not too possible.
"Go and find out these things. There must be conclusive evidence. The fourth child's matter and today's matter must be investigated clearly. Don't talk nonsense." Lin Boyong said.
"I will do it, dad, don't worry." Lin Ke nodded.
Lin Boyong breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "Call Changqing in."
Lin Ke hurriedly came to the door and called Huang Changqing who was standing in the corridor. Huang Changqing quickly came to Lin Boyong and knelt on the ground obediently, like a little daughter-in-law who had made a mistake.
Lin Boyong glanced at him coldly and said: "Changqing, I was determined to drive you out of the Lin family, but Lin Ke begged for mercy for you. I am also young and the two families have been friends for several lifetimes, so I really can't be so cruel.
.But you made a big mistake, and I have to punish you. From today on, you are no longer the housekeeper of my Lin family. You are only responsible for preparing cars and feeding horses for my trips. The monthly routine is reduced to the same as that of an ordinary servant.
"In addition, if you make a mistake, you will naturally be punished according to the family law. I will give you ten sticks to make you remember. Do you dare to act self-righteously in the future?"
Huang Changqing kowtowed repeatedly and cried bitterly: "The master of the house has shown mercy, and Changqing is grateful. But as long as Changqing is not allowed to leave the Lin family, it will be fine. Even if he goes to carry dung and water, Changqing is also willing to do it. Ten sticks are too few, so beat me twice."
Ten sticks, no... thirty sticks. The more I get beaten, the more grateful I feel."
Lin Boyong said coldly: "I'm afraid that you, an old man, can't stand it. I don't want anyone to die in my family. Come on, someone who knows how to do it."
The boys came forward and pushed Huang Changqing to the ground and started beating him. After ten sticks were applied, Huang Changqing lost consciousness in his lower body. If Lin Ke hadn't winked at the boys, and if the boys hadn't been afraid of Huang Changqing's future revenge, these ten sticks would have been lost.
If it were really beaten down, Huang Changqing might have to lie in bed for half a year.
