Lin Cheng did not thoroughly investigate the death of his beloved, and did not even have much time to grieve over the death of Lu Boxin, because the first thing that came next was who would take over the hundreds of thousands of troops in Northern Xinjiang after Lu Boxin died in the battle.
The war in Northern Xinjiang was still going back and forth. Lin Cheng overcame all opinions and recommended Lu Boxin's son, who had been leading the army with Lu Boxin, as the counter-rebellion general. Lin Cheng did not have enough power in the court, so General Lin sided with Lin Cheng. Three years later, Northern Xinjiang
Finally, Jingping was achieved, and a new generation of Luhou garrisoned Xinyi, becoming a new generation of generals stationed on the border.
Lin Cheng was also summoned by Emperor Mu Xuan to serve in the Imperial Guard.
Since the death of Miss Huang, Lin Cheng has never set foot in the Lin family's old house. After returning to the imperial capital, he never participated in any family affairs of the Lin family, or even participated in the Lin family's ancestor worship.
Lin Cheng was unmarried and had no heirs, which became a strange thing in the imperial capital.
No one would have thought that behind this unmarried and childless relationship, there was such an unpaid affection and such a rare injustice.
Things started when Lin Cheng and General Lin recognized each other through blood. For the Lin family, Lin Cheng was naturally good at everything.
The same is true for the down-and-out Cheng family.
Originally, Cheng Yu, who returned to the imperial capital from the place of exile, had no relationship with the Lin family, but with Lin Cheng, it was different. Cheng Yu was very good at sneaking around, and after hearing about Lin Cheng, he took the initiative to go to the Lin family to recognize his relatives. Lin Cheng was his
My sister's son is my nephew, so the blood relationship is absolutely the same.
Lin Cheng did not comment on this uncle who took the initiative to come to recognize his relatives. He was busy with errands at the time and could not take care of the Cheng family.
However, the Cheng family had contact with the Lin family in this way. Moreover, as Lin Cheng rose to prominence and became famous in the imperial capital, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Lin had the same concern, that is: Lin Cheng's marriage.
At that time, Mrs. Cheng had an unmarried daughter in her family, and Mrs. Lin had an unmarried niece in her natal family. It was the wish of Mrs. Lin’s natal sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, to marry her daughter into the Lin family to be the future mistress.
Although Lin Cheng was already engaged, could such a humble woman really be worthy of being the young master of the Lin family? But Lin Cheng was so devoted to the Huang family's daughter.
In the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, faced with the ironclad evidence, Mrs. Cheng had no choice but to admit it. She even said something like this when she and Mrs. Zhao were fighting each other, "You think I don't know you want to lend me that Cinnabar Soothing Powder, do you think
Can I really not afford it? If I don’t lend you my hand, how can I ask you to stand on the dry shore and use me as a gunman! Bah! What a sweet dream you had! I want this medicine from you just to leave evidence! I will take your general with me.
Sister-in-law, no one can escape! I sent the medicine. Ten days later, I went to visit, and Miss Huang was already in a coma! Whose girl is sick and can only take one prescription? The Lin family has a great cause, if his own girl is sick
, look at how he didn’t invite famous doctors all over the world! I gave him the medicine, not the medicine! You think I don’t know! That pair of aunts and nephews from your Zhao family designed to drive away A Cheng’s biological mother! A Cheng is not your surname.
He was born by a Zhao woman, and you are afraid that he will remember his mother! You are so eager to give him a girl from the Zhao family! You surnamed Zhao can continue to control the general's palace!"
"Sir! I still have something to report!" Mrs. Cheng said loudly, "I am a woman in the market, how could I know such a murderous method as Cinnabar Anshen Powder! I know this because I heard about it from the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. The Zhao family
The eldest girl once said, Cinnabar Soothing Powder, Cinnabar is a poisonous substance, it is highly toxic whether boiled or burned, so the dosage of Cinnabar should not be too much. Once used excessively, it can cause a person to lose consciousness at least, or kill a person at worst...
"
"You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Zhao rushed forward and tried to tear Mrs. Cheng's mouth apart, and cursed, "You only want to win the movie of your own girl and turn her back to the general's son, and you even want to marry her, but you don't know that they don't like her.
That filthy girl of yours!"
In short, the two of them were biting each other and spitting out everything.
Doctor Zheng suggested that Minister Cheng should go to the General's Mansion and ask Mrs. Lin if she was not suspicious of the medicine Mrs. Cheng sent and if she had hired another doctor for Miss Huang.
Mr. Cheng was a little embarrassed, so Mr. Xu gave him an idea, "If you don't dare to make the decision, you might as well ask the Master."
Mrs. Lin is a first-grade official, and General Lin is still a minister of the emperor's heart.
Li Shangshu discussed the matter with General Lin, and General Lin said, "The imperial doctor from the imperial hospital asked me several questions, and I remember he prescribed a lot of medicines."
Mrs. Lin also remembered this incident and found many prescriptions prescribed by imperial doctors in those years.
After asking several imperial doctors, they all agreed that his prescription was exactly the same as what Mrs. Lin said.
Mrs. Lin argued, "Mrs. Cheng is A Cheng's aunt after all. She sent the medicine with good intentions, and I had to accept it. But Miss Huang's illness has not improved, and I can't just let Miss Huang take this dose of medicine."
, you go and ask around, I take care of Miss Huang every day, praying to God and praying to Buddha, hoping that she will get better. When she cannot afford to fall ill, I wish I could take her place. I am not my biological mother. Before A Cheng left, we
We took Miss Huang over to our house, but as a result, Miss Huang disappeared from our house. Have you ever thought about how much blame I have to suffer? The one I wish I could leave is myself."
Mrs. Lin burst into tears as she spoke.
The Ministry of Punishment then interrogated the little maid who cooked medicine for Miss Huang back then. Although the little maid had become a middle-aged woman, even if she could remember clearly what happened back then, she was just a servant who cooked medicine.
When the Ministry of Criminal Justice thought that the case would end with Mrs. Cheng murdering someone, a new turning point appeared again. This time, it was involved in two other murder cases, one was the death of Liang Zhuangyuan that year, and the other was the death of Liang Zhuangyuan last year.
The death of his mother.
The person who came to complain was one of Liang Zhuangyuan's concubines. This woman had a good figure that could not be concealed by her silk clothes. She wore a black gauze curtain hat and her voice was hoarse. "My appearance has been ruined. Please don't be offended."
With only a slender hand, he lifted off the curtain, and the well-informed official of the Ministry of Justice couldn't bear to look at it a second time.
I saw that this woman's entire small oval face had been slashed diagonally with a knife. One eye under the scar was empty, and only the other eye was still clear and bright. It is conceivable that this woman must have been a beautiful woman back then.
girl.
"I was born in Yangzhou. I was the concubine that my wife bought for Liang Zhuangyuan. After your death, my wife ruined our appearance in the name of our beauty, gave us dumb medicine, and sold us far away.
Go. I was lucky enough to overhear what Aunt Sha next to my wife was saying to my maid sister. It was no longer possible to escape from the house. It was a maid sister who had been favored by me who took pity on me and secretly mixed the mute medicine with water. Now I can escape.
Only by speaking can you accuse Lin, the wife of the former champion Liang Nan, of deliberately murdering her husband and murdering her concubine!"
This is a fatal blow.
All the maids and maids around Mrs. Liang were taken away by the Ministry of Justice. She herself hid in the General's Mansion and hid in Mrs. Lin's room. She fell on Mrs. Lin's knees and cried and begged, "Grandma, you have loved me the most since I was a child. Grandma,
How can anyone trust the words of a concubine who was sold? I, the dignified eldest lady of the General’s Mansion, should go to the Ministry of Punishments to confront this bitch!"
Before Mrs. Lin could rush out to plead with her husband, General Lin's close confidants had already entered Mrs. Lin's courtyard and personally took Mrs. Liang out. Mrs. Lin chased her to the door and met General Lin standing coldly in front of the courtyard.
.
"Master, if you have any crime, I will take the blame. Please, master, don't let A Tian go to the Criminal Department! She can't stand it!" Mrs. Lin hugged General Lin and cried miserably.
Even Old Mrs. Lin, who was lying in bed, held on to the maid's hand and chased her out panting. General Lin was finally moved, pushed away the crying Mrs. Lin, and went over to help Old Mrs. Lin. Old Mrs. Lin said anxiously, "No.
Ah, boss, as soon as Tian girl goes to the Criminal Department, you will be implicated."
General Lin helped the old lady back to her room and sat on the couch. The old lady asked anxiously, "Boss, you have to be prepared."
"Mom, Tian can't go to the Criminal Department." Mrs. Lin's handkerchief was soaked with tears, as if her heart and liver had been ripped out.
General Lin suddenly said, "You're not dead, why are you so sad?"
Mrs. Lin seemed to have been pinched by someone's neck, her crying suddenly stopped, and she looked at her husband blankly. General Lin said coldly, "It turns out that it is so painful for a mother to see her own flesh and blood suffer even a little bit. Fortunately,
Mrs. Huang left early, otherwise the white-haired person sending the black-haired person would be a hundred times more painful than what you are experiencing now."
"Master? What did you say?" Mrs. Lin's face was as white as snow.
"Boss?" Mrs. Lin suddenly sat up straight and looked at her son in shock.
"Old lady, don't worry. Even if I don't know how to teach my daughter, I will just resign from my post. Lin Cheng has won the emperor's heart. He has served in the Imperial Guard for many years and has made many meritorious deeds. His majesty did not promote him to official positions because he wanted to wait for my future."
Let him take over the position of general. Isn't it because he planned his marriage in every possible way just to see that he has the ability and will be able to take over the Lin family in the future?" General Lin looked at Mrs. Lin with his eagle-like eyes and said calmly.
, "A person without flesh and blood has nothing to worry about when plotting against others. He is also a person with flesh and blood. If he attacks a person who is far superior to himself and harms the one he loves, isn't he afraid that one day the truth will be revealed? My own flesh and blood
Do you want to suffer all the pain in this world? How does it feel to be separated from your flesh and blood like this?"
Mrs. Lin was trembling, she was so weak that she couldn't say a word.
Old Mrs. Lin was also frightened. She stretched out her arms as if to hold someone's hand. General Lin was standing a little further away. Mrs. Lin just cried. Old Mrs. Lin's arms fell empty on the couch, and she seemed to be covered in blood.
Her strength was gone, so she held on and said, "Boss, you have no proof and no certificate, please don't wrong your wife."
"Whether it is unjust or not, the Ministry of Punishment will not make the sentence unjust." General Lin's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring Mrs. Lin's head all over.
Mrs. Lin was trembling all over. She rushed over and knelt in front of her husband, crying sadly, "Master, you not only have Lin Cheng, but A Tian is also your flesh and blood! All the mistakes you made are my fault. Master, you can't look at this."
Just leave Ah Tian alone! Master! I beg you, Master! I am willing to give Miss Huang my life to pay for it!"
"You are right, Ah Tian is my flesh and blood." General Lin asked sadly, "You cherish your own flesh and blood so much, why don't you have any compassion at all and give a little charity to Lin Cheng? Do you have any respect for me?
Mercy, did you have any hesitation back then? He is also my flesh and blood! You want to control him, you want him to marry the daughter of your Zhao family, have you ever thought that you are marrying someone from my Lin family, and you are from my Lin family?
Men, your name is Lin Zhao now!"
"Before taking action, didn't you think about what to do if the truth was exposed? What if A Cheng noticed? By the way, he was away on the war, and even if he had noticed, I believe that Miss Huang's bones would have been rotten. He can dig graves.
Exhuming the body, the bones lying in the grave are also the bones of another girl of similar age and stature who died of illness, right?" General Lin asked, "Why didn't you think about it, when I met Lin Cheng, he was already with me?
Rui Hou is a peer. When I admired him, I didn't know that he was my flesh and blood. Why didn't you ever think about it? He always had one or two life and death friends in the imperial capital. When you buried Miss Huang's body, he was followed by others.
Excavated and preserved to this day?"
"Do you really think Lin Cheng is the incompetent person from your mother's family who is just waiting to die?" General Lin asked angrily, "How dare you?"
"Since you dared to do such a thing, didn't you ever think that this day would come to pass? Those who have slaughtered other people's children will surely see their own flesh and blood trampled into dust in the mud. This is called retribution!"
"Master, can we, who have been married for thirty years, be no better than Lin Cheng?" Mrs. Lin hugged her husband's trousers and cried loudly.
"I also want to ask you, we have been married for thirty years, do you regard me as your husband, or do you think of me as a thing that you have gained power and wealth to help your mother's family? Is it me you are marrying, or the high status of the Lin family?"
"Lin Cheng has always refused to get close to me. Have you ever thought about how I will live with such an eldest son a hundred years from now?"
"He was already an adult when he recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan. How do you want him to get close to you? Is he so coquettish in front of you like Zhao Cong? He is the son of someone like me, Lin, not a dog you raised!
"
"Have you ever thought about how pitiful your daughters will be a hundred years from now without their parents to rely on?"
"Could it be that only by marrying the daughter of your Zhao family and being controlled by you to be your puppet can the daughters have their parents' families to rely on and not be pitiful?" General Lin asked back, "Dogs can guard homes and courtyards, but only tigers can look after homes and courtyards.
Only a leopard can conquer the jungle. You want a tiger and leopard to be a dog in front of you, to obey your orders and to punish him. Why? Just for you to murder his beloved? "
"Why have you never been kind to the girl from the Huang family, treated her like your own mother and taught her? She is helpless in the imperial capital. Lin Cheng wants to make achievements outside. He trusts you and me, so he will send Miss Huang to the Lin family.
If you are kind to Miss Huang, Lin Cheng will remember it in his heart. Have you ever thought that people’s hearts are made of flesh, and only when you treat others well can people repay you. Why haven’t you ever thought about it? Over the years, even if you are not
Lin Cheng's biological mother, as long as you are kind and kind, how can they treat you badly? With the good relationship you have forged, why is Lin Cheng not your daughter's supporter? If there is a bright road, why not take it? I will definitely marry a girl from your Zhao family.
, is it good for you?" General Lin sneered and asked, "Have you ever thought that even if you take a thousand steps back, Lin Chengzong will never have a chance to meet Miss Huang? With his talents and background, Your Majesty is willing to treat him as a princess.
Marry, why should I let him be inferior to Zhao’s daughter?”
"Among the mothers in the world, there are people like you. When it came to Ah Heng's marriage, did I ever say that even though Zhao Cong was my own child, she didn't necessarily have to be married to her uncle. I chose the fifth member of the Imperial Guard for her.
"Pin Xiaowei, you think you are from a poor family, but now that school captain has been promoted to the fourth rank Qianshi! You are really devoted to your mother's family. Without your mother's wishful thinking, Ah Heng would not be where he is today." General Lin said every word.
They fell to the ground, as if their hearts were being torn out, Mrs. Lin cried like blood, tears kept rolling down the corners of her eyes, "I know I was wrong, Master, it doesn't matter if you forgive me or not, please save my daughters!"
Mrs. Lin banged her head and knocked on the ground one by one, making a banging sound. Soon her forehead was bruised and bleeding, mixed with the tears on Mrs. Lin's face, which was indescribably sad and pitiful.
General Lin sighed sadly, "Why don't you understand that there is nothing I can do?"
Lin Cheng's talents were by no means inferior to those of General Lin. When Miss Huang and Ruihou passed away one after another, Lin Cheng dragged his sick body to find him. The first thing he did was to hope that he would support Ruihou's son to take charge of the Northern Xinjiang Army. At that time, Lin Cheng did not have half
When he mentioned Miss Huang, General Lin thought he didn't want to mention sad things.
Now it seems that Lin Cheng has a plan.
Such a fierce tiger, with more than ten years of accumulated power, would be so terrifying in one blow. Only with such meticulous and rigorous link after link, and without missing a beat, could all those involved in the incident be caught in one fell swoop!
General Lin lowered his head and glanced at Mrs. Lin who was lying on the ground——
Only then can the people who did evil in those days be made worse off than dead!
Even Lin Cheng might not want to wait any longer for the position of General of the Suzaku Guard.
What Mrs. Chiang did was enough to bring disrepute to the Lin family and General Lin to retire from office sadly.
