The sounds of whipping and women's screams came from the corridor. In the room, Lin Jue sat on a chair and talked to Lin Sheng and Yuan.
"Er Niang, please rest assured. I told my second cousin just now that I will immediately send someone to Hangzhou to deliver a message and ask the uncle to take charge of the matter. I will also act actively here, and I believe that I will definitely rescue the second uncle.
Don't be anxious. Keep the house safe and don't let any internal chaos occur. We will take care of everything else."
"Okay, okay. Hey, your second uncle...I have tried to persuade him so many times, but he is not willing to listen to me. He was not like this before. He only made trouble with silver and money. Now he finally makes trouble for himself.
To this extent, it's all self-inflicted. Hey! If you hadn't been in charge today, those foxy people outside wouldn't know what to do. They forced me to write a letter of divorce and asked me to share their money, saying that the master promised to each of them.
How much money did you give me? I really don’t know what to say." Yuan patted her knees and shook her head with a sigh.
Lin Jue looked at Lin Sheng and said: "Cousin Lin Sheng, as the master of the Lin family, how can you allow these people to make such a fuss? A slave is riding on the master's head? But you are helpless? Although you are an elder aunt, at special times, you should stand
Come out and deal with it according to the family law. What is the reason? You just don't do anything?"
Lin Sheng nodded solemnly.
Yuan said to Lin Sheng, "Come here."
Lin Sheng walked over and lowered his head and said, "What?"
Yuan reached out and gave Lin Sheng a hard slap in the face, and spat: "You bastard, don't think I don't know about the scandals you did with your sixth and seventh aunts. You are just as mean as your father."
.The two foxy girls made you and your son so confused that they were confused. How could I have given birth to a bastard like you?"
Lin Sheng covered his face and hid aside with an ouch, his face turned as red as a purple liver. Lin Jue was stunned and immediately understood the reason why Lin Sheng did nothing. He couldn't help but feel sick in his heart, and sighed secretly.
…
When Lin Jue returned home, Guo Caiwei and Lu Wu were waiting in the front hall. After Lin Jue simply wanted to explain the situation to them, he immediately wrote a personal letter and ordered Xiaohu and a guard to set off overnight.
Hangzhou. The two men are carrying six fast horses. They will not stop the horses and people along the way, and they will go to Hangzhou as quickly as possible to deliver the message.
Lin Jue was sent to the front door of the mansion, and after some earnest instructions, he watched Lin Hu and others fly away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned back. As he walked in the yard, he heard the sound of roosters crowing one after another, and he looked up.
The sky and the east were white, and the night had passed before I knew it.
"Prepare the horse!" Lin Jue rubbed his eyes and ordered.
Guo Caiwei frowned and said, "Why prepare the horse? After a busy night, it's time to go back to the room to rest."
Lin Jue sighed and said: "How can I sleep? I have to go see your father and brother and tell them about this. See if your father and brother can give me some advice. It may not be easy to save my second uncle.
I might not be able to accomplish anything with my strength."
Guo Caiwei nodded slightly and said: "That's right. You might as well ask my father and brother for their opinions. After all, father and brother still know better than you about matters in the officialdom. But...husband, if they can't help
, I hope you...don't be offended."
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I understand what you mean, your father and brother may not be willing to get involved in this kind of thing. This is also human nature. Don't worry, I'm just asking for their advice. At the same time, this matter
We should also inform them. We don’t necessarily need their help. As long as they can point out some key points, it will be a great help.”
Guo Caiwei sighed and said: "I feel relieved if you think so. In fact, my father is also in great difficulties. There are some things that he cannot come forward for. For example, the matter of your appointment. But I believe they will not stand idle. It must be
I will help you. Do you want me to go with you?"
Lin Jue waved his hand and said with a smile: "Why should we all work together? You and Lu Wu should go back and rest. I will inform you of any progress at any time."
Guo Caiwei nodded, and Lu Wu watched Lin Jue mount his horse and leave, then sighed to each other and returned to the inner house.
Half an hour later, Lin Jue was already sitting in the front hall of the old palace by the northwest lake. Because he came too early, Prince Liang and his son had not yet gotten up. After the servants came in, Lin Jue asked the servants of the palace to make a drink.
Sitting in the front hall with a pot of strong tea to refresh himself. This night was tense and Lin Jue was indeed very tired, but Lin Jue's nerves were tense and sober. He knew that from now on, every step he took was important. One step was wrong.
, Lin Bonian's matter was about to come to nothing. Since he decided to use this matter to fight back against Wu Chunlai and others, he must rescue Lin Bonian and make no mistakes.
Soon after, the prince and his son came to the hall. Because he got up too early, Guo Bing had a pale face and was a little angry. But after he heard Lin Jue's first words, Guo Bing immediately recovered from his sleepy state.
Wake up.
"What, your second uncle was arrested by Yushitai and imprisoned? What crime?" Guo Bing asked in shock.
Lin Jue made no secret and reported all relevant matters to Guo Bing and his son, including the reasons for Lin Bonian's forced marriage and Wu Chunlai's revenge after the marriage failed. Everything was detailed and without reservation.
Guo Bing and his son listened to each other and looked at each other, constantly exchanging glances, and their expressions changed from shocked to extremely serious. After Lin Jue finished narrating, Guo Bing and Guo Kun did not speak, and the hall fell into a deathly silence.
After a while, Guo Bing spoke: "Lin Jue, you came here to tell us this because you want me to take action for you and rescue your second uncle, right?"
Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "Father-in-law, I came to report this matter to my father-in-law and the young prince. I really want to ask for help. But I also know the difficulties of your father-in-law, so I just want to listen to suggestions. After all, I am right
I’m not familiar with things in the officialdom, and I don’t know how to start.”
Guo Bing nodded slowly, feeling relieved. Lin Jue still knew that the palace would never take action in this matter. Even if Lin Bonian was Lin Jue's second uncle, he couldn't come forward to save him. That would be the case.
Bring unnecessary trouble to the palace.
"Lin Jue, you come to ask me for my opinion. I do have some suggestions for you. Well! My suggestion is... you'd better not care about this matter. Lin Bonian deserves his punishment, and Yushitai has no conclusive evidence.
It is not easy to put someone in jail with evidence, and besides, he is a third-rank official of the imperial court. You may not be able to accept what I say, but not only can you not interfere with this matter, but you must also distance yourself from everything. You don’t know
How deep is the water in this matter?" Guo Bing pondered.
Lin Jue frowned tightly. He did not expect that Guo Bing would actually say the same words and give the same advice as Fang Dunru. This kind of advice would obviously put himself under moral judgment, but they actually
This suggestion was given coincidentally, which made Lin Jue feel that things might not be that simple.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law said just now that he would not beg his father-in-law to come forward on his own, but only to give some good suggestions. But the suggestions mentioned by my son-in-law are not such suggestions. I am determined to rescue my second uncle.
Otherwise, the second uncle will definitely die. I can't even stand by and watch, let alone disown the relationship. This is definitely not what I, Lin Jue, did." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Guo Bing frowned and said: "Lin Jue, don't be stubborn. My king's proposal is for your own good and for everyone's good. You are my son-in-law now. If you get involved, you will also implicate me. Do you know? What if?
It's you who's in trouble, so naturally I will try my best to save you. But Lin Bonian, there is no need for this. Have you forgotten what Lin Bonian did to you? Besides, he has committed a capital crime."
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Father-in-law, in any case, the second uncle is Lin Jue's elder, and he belongs to my Lin family. The family rules and motto of my Lin family have always taught that all the elders and children in the family are members of the Lin family. My Lin family
He will not give up any of the children of the Lin family. Maybe some people don't care about these family mottos, but Lin Jue does. What's more, this is another attack launched by Wu Chunlai against his son-in-law. How can the son-in-law endure this?
My son-in-law has regarded this matter as a war against Wu Chunlai. I will never give in, and I will never let Wu Chunlai succeed."
Guo Bing frowned and shouted: "Lin Jue, don't be naive or confused."
Lin Jue stood up and saluted: "Father-in-law, young prince, I already know your attitude, and I will not force others to do anything. Lin Jue has disturbed you, so I will leave now."
Lin Jue turned around and walked out. Guo Bing shouted angrily: "What are you going to do?"
Lin Jue stopped walking: "I will do what I should do, and I vow to rescue my second uncle. No matter what the final result is, I will do my best to have a clear conscience."
Lin Jue strode out of the hall, his heart full of anger. The prince and his son were bloodless. Even if they knew how to protect themselves wisely and how to seek good luck and avoid disaster, it was still a temporary solution. No wonder they always lived in fear.
Being suffocated by that person who is so high above them. They don’t even have any blood, so what else can they think about? You can’t put too much hope in them.
"Stop." Lin Jue had just stepped out of the hall when Guo Bing's angry voice came from behind.
Lin Jue frowned and stopped and turned around, only to see Guo Bing frowning and glaring at him fiercely.
"What are your orders, father-in-law?" Lin Jue said calmly.
"Hmph! You are becoming more and more unsure now. You just throw up your feet and walk away after a disagreement. What kind of attitude is this? You can't listen to my advice to you, so you just ignore it, right? Have you forgotten that you promised me
Have you made the three conditions?" Guo Bingbing shouted.
Lin Jue bowed and said: "Father-in-law, Lin Jue has not violated his promise. The premise of obeying the prince's order is that it does not violate the laws of nature and human ethics. But now, if I obey the prince's order, I will not care about the life or death of the head of the Lin family, or even stay out of the matter.
Limits, isn’t it unethical and contrary to human ethics? My father-in-law cannot accuse me of this.”
Guo Bing was dumbfounded and unable to refute for a moment.
Guo Kun tried to smooth things over and said: "Brother-in-law, what are you doing? When such a big thing happens, it is natural to carefully consider and discuss it. It is not possible to act rashly. You should not be impulsive. Father, you
Don't get angry. Something happened to Lin Jue's second uncle. It's human nature for Lin Jue to be anxious and worried. This just shows that Lin Jue is about friendship. Father, you might as well enlighten him. We are all a family, there is no need to get angry.
.”
Guo Bing scolded: "What do you know? Do you know the details of this matter? Do you know how many mysteries are hidden behind it? This matter is not as simple as he thought."
