Chapter 868 Chapter 868: Great-grandfather, it's Jiaojiao [seeking a monthly ticket]
"Where did General Chao say this?"
Lin Feng shouted out the true identity of the young warrior.
She raised her hand to press the hilt of the saber, her gaze shifted from the blood on the stone slab to Chao Lian's face, and the soldiers who were confronting the guard heard the sound and parted from it like a tide. The four of Lin Feng walked forward slowly, and the young warriors looked at Lin Feng with confusion.
Then put away the weapon: "Mr. Lin?"
Lin Feng stepped forward and bowed his hands, Chao Lian hurriedly returned the salute, with a slight smile on her lips, she said: "Thank you, General Chao, for your mercy, otherwise today's situation will not be easy to deal with."
Chao Lian showed seriousness: "Don't dare."
After parting ways with Sixth Brother and Thirteenth, he set foot on the way back. During this period, the situation in the Northwest Continent changed greatly. Unexpectedly, Shen Jun and Wu Zhaode had the last laugh. Huang Lie was defeated and died, even if he wanted revenge, he had no one to turn to. He was always concerned about the safety of his eldest brother and relatives, and when he passed through Uncle Lin's hometown, he thought that it would not be delayed if he just sent a letter, so he came to deliver the letter first.
It was still midnight when he came, but the owner of the Lin house was unexpectedly still asleep, with a look of worry on his brows. Chao Lian went to the door to explain his identity, express his purpose of coming, and talked about Sishu Lin's recent situation. The owner of the Lin house was emotional, and begged Chao Lian to wait, and write a letter from home to the fourth uncle Lin who was wandering outside. This request was reasonable, so he naturally did not refuse, and agreed with a smile.
result-
Family letters come in hand, but someone comes back.
Chao Lian originally wanted to strike hard, but accidentally learned that this group of people was pretending to be under the banner of Shen Jun's tent, so out of caution, he showed mercy. They just wounded people, not killed them. The guards of the Lin residence were unable to do so, and were surrounded by the invading enemies.
He was thinking about how to deal with the situation, when someone called out his identity, Chao Lian followed the sound and finally recognized Lin Feng.
Chao Lian and Lin Feng had met for several times, but they were not close.
Rather than saying that he recognized Lin Feng, it would be better to say that he recognized the unique Wenxin monogram on her waist. Lin Feng came forward and testified from the side that this group of soldiers and horses belonged to Shen Tang's camp. This put Chao Lian in a difficult situation: "May I take the liberty to ask, what is the purpose of Mrs. Lin's visit?"
Lin Feng said the most frightening words in the gentlest tone: "My lord has received accurate news that Mrs. Lin has privately negotiated with a group of aristocratic families, intending to harm the lord. However, the lord has a generous and benevolent disposition, and she is not willing to make a big deal out of it." The command to kill and the blood flowed like a river, so we ordered us to come to the door to persuade. If Mrs. Lin sincerely corrects her mistakes, she will be punished with a small punishment for this matter, and it will be considered over."
Chao Lian said with emotion: "Shen Jun is still so kind, but he is kind and deceived by others, and sometimes he needs thunder."
He couldn't help but think of his elder brother.
If the eldest brother can be more ruthless, there may be another chance. Compared with those unscrupulous people in the Dragon Slaying Bureau, he is too simple and kind.
Now that the eldest brother has passed away, Shen Jun is the only tenderness left.
Chao Lian's words angered the old man with the stick on one side.
The latter cast a ghostly look.
He said solemnly: "Shen Youli is perverted and greedy. She has blackmailed the big family several times, and everyone is indignant and disgusted. How come you are like me when it comes to you, a kid? Isn't it just to destroy the door when you lead troops to the door?"
Lin Feng's eyes fell on the old man holding the stick complicatedly.
The tone was milder: "Mr. Lin's words are wrong. If you don't lead troops to the door but come here alone, who would know that there are no swordsmen waiting in the dark in the Lin house? Sir, it is better not to take this muddy water casually. I heard that the young and strong in the family moved away after the Lingzhou disaster a few years ago? Is it not good for you to take care of yourself when you are old? Your students, they said How many words can be true? Don’t be tricked into being a rafter by someone with a heart!”
The staff-wielding old man in front of him is unable to cultivate, but he is very talented and learned. He was also a famous lecturer in Xin Guoxue Palace. Later, because of the internal turmoil in the royal court, he couldn't understand Zheng Qiao's chaotic politics, so he retired and returned to his hometown. The nearby aristocratic families admired his reputation, and came to visit him with gifts one after another. He couldn't take it easy, so he took in the students who liked him. After that, the Lin family went south to avoid disaster, and the Lin family members were transferred in batches.
But I don't want to, he hasn't left yet.
The old man with the stick knocked on the ground angrily, and his beard was filled with anger: "Boy, I don't want to listen to the words of sowing discord. Your threats can't scare the old man! Even if I'm the only old man in the Lin family, I will never give in. !"
Then he said: "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you!"
The smell of gunpowder suddenly became stronger in the air.
Chao Lian pleaded with embarrassment: "Mr. Lin, Lin's nursing home doesn't even have a single warrior. There are no important people in the house, and there is no money for money. The only few clan members are also elderly people. , It is difficult to walk, let alone participate in the rebellion. There must be a misunderstanding, maybe it was really deceived by the traitor. I implore you to wait until the matter is cleared up?"
His position is awkward at the moment.
Uncle Lin is the savior. He helped him deliver the letter from home, and then turned to tell him that his grandfather is gone? Chao Lian couldn't sit idly by. It's just that if he took care of it, he might involve his elder brother's relatives and implicate them for no reason.
For a while, Chao Lian was in a dilemma.
He wanted to delay the time, but the old man with the stick didn't appreciate it.
Opening his mouth, he provoked Lin Feng to ask for money or not.
Yin-Yang said strangely: "...the old man sees that you have a good sword, if you can die by this sword, it will not be in vain."
Lin Feng: "..."
Yu Zi thought that Lin Feng was giving face to the other party because he respected the old and loved the young, but he didn't expect that the old man had a bad temper and lived up to his good intentions. She snorted: "You want to invite death? What's so difficult about it! It's not convenient for Lingde's sword to be unsheathed recently, but my sword has no taboos. If you want to borrow it, I will not be stingy. I'm afraid the old man doesn't have the ability Courage is just relying on the old to sell the old!"
The old man with the stick was enraged, he immediately threw away the cane, and spread his hands: "The old man will not be humiliated by your stick! Sword!"
Yu Zi really pulled out the sword and wanted to throw it over.
However, Lin Feng moved faster than her.
He stretched out his hand like lightning and pushed back the half-unsheathed sword.
Yu Zi was puzzled and surprised: "Ling De?"
"Lin's contemporary patriarch is not around, so there is no real speaker, so I will make a decision for them." Lin Feng's speech shocked both parties. The old man with the staff did not expect Shen Tang to be so thick-skinned. Realm, fingers trembling non-stop.
The stick-wielding old man was not young, Lin Feng was really afraid of making him angry, so under the gaze of countless eyes, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Great-grandfather is old, it's better not to get angry."
The old man with the stick: "..."
Yu Zi: "..."
Yang Ying and Lu Ji who are waiting for the battle: "..."
They suddenly remembered that Lin Feng's surname was Lin.
The sudden commotion almost knocked the old man's waist down, and his anger continued: "Who are you? I have seen someone who misidentified your father, but I have never seen someone who misidentified your father and grandfather for your own father. The Lin family is a small family. , can’t fit in your big Buddha, hum!”
Lin Feng was helpless: "Great-grandfather, I am Jiao Jiao."
The old man holding the stick was stunned, because he hadn't heard anyone mention the nickname "Jiaojiao" for several years. Hearing it again suddenly, it took him a while to remember "Jiao Jiao"'s face. In my impression, the child was very delicate and blessed.
He has a naughty personality and likes to listen to stories.
As the grandchildren flourished, the Lin family flourished. He is the oldest old man in the family, and the younger generation are afraid of children bumping into him, so they are very cautious when they are in front of him. There is only one child who is an exception, and that child is his "Jiao Jiao". She is also among all the children, the most similar to his eldest daughter who died young, even the flesh on her face is so similar.
He felt that this child hit him very well.
It's just that his "Jiao Jiao" died young just like his ill-fated eldest daughter. The members of the Lin clan who went south to avoid misfortune did not receive "Jiao Jiao" and his party. After some inquiring, they found out that the family members betrayed halfway, and all the female relatives, including his fourth grandson, died.
They don't even know where the body was dumped.
When the news came back, the old man with the stick was silent for a long time.
Until a few hours ago, the young man Chao Lian brought back news that his grandson was still alive and was accidentally rescued from the river by a pair of master and apprentice. This news comforted him to some extent. He also asked about the location of the accident and planned to send someone there to check it out.
He also knew that Shen Tang was not easy to mess with, so he made preparations in advance, wrote family letters to the fourth child, and arranged for people to go south to send letters... But before finishing the process, Shen Tang's minions led troops in. He knew that today was his death day, and as a result—
The tall person in front of me calls himself "Jiao Jiao".
The old man holding the stick silently looked at Lin Feng's face, trying to find out the rounded curvature of "Jiao Jiao" from the already long face. Lin Feng knew that his eyesight was not good, so he slowly stepped forward and approached him: "Great-grandfather, I am really pretty. When you named me back then, you said that I was the brightest crescent moon of the Lin family. Do you remember?"
The old man with the stick raised his old but not rough hand, and lightly touched Lin Feng's cheek. It took a long while to match the face in front of him with the girl from back then. He looked up and down in disbelief: "Jiaojiao...you are really Jiaojiao? Child, child, you have grown up so much? You, how did you survive?"
"Great-grandfather, this matter is a long story. When the matter is resolved, Jiao Jiao will explain everything to you clearly, okay?"
This is not a place to reminisce.
She was not so big-hearted as to ignore everyone present.
It was fine if Lin Feng didn't say anything, but when he said it, the old man with the stick suddenly remembered that Lin Feng belonged to Shen Tang, his old face twitched slightly. He remembered that Jiaojiao from Jiajiao was a girl, but Lin Feng was wearing a Wenxin monogram on his waist, and his mind was stuck again.
Just as he was about to say something, the girl who used to only jump up and down in front of him to beg for rewards now pressed down the hand he was about to raise with a resolute expression, and said in a calm and firm tone: "Great-grandfather is old, there is no one in the Lin family for the time being." The head of the family is the master, and according to the regulations of the Lin clan, I can be the master!"
The old man holding the stick suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Jiao Jiao!"
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Great-grandfather, the lord gave his grandson the name Lin Feng, and his mentor named him Lingde. If the father and the others are away, the grandson will carry the lintel of Lin's family, don't you think? Great-grandfather loves the younger generation, and he definitely doesn't want Jiao Jiao bears the name of killing relatives?"
The old man's face twitched and the arc became larger.
He held Lin Feng's wrist backwards, very hard.
However, this level of strength is nothing to Wenxin scholars. Lin Feng's smile did not change, but his eyebrows were slightly lowered, looking directly at the glaring eyes of the elders in the clan. The old man holding the stick was old, and his back was not as straight as before. Lin Feng was tall and tall, more than half a head taller than him. The momentum is even more overwhelming.
After a long time, the old man with the staff let go of his strength.
Sighed: "It's up to you."
Lin Feng smiled and turned around: "The matter is settled."
Lin Zhai has very little savings, and most of them have been transferred. Some of the properties that could not be transferred were sold to other families, leaving only a small part. When the situation stabilizes, Lin still has a way out. The old man with the staff sat in the main seat with a dark face.
Another old man who was about the same age smiled and looked at: "Why are you angry, Brother? Isn't it a good thing that Jiao Jiao is still alive?"
The old man with the stick glanced at the accounts and was about to take out money from the storeroom to help Shen Tang's great-granddaughter, who had to pay for Shen Tang's financial misfortune. He murmured, "I won't stay here, I won't stay here! She even threatened the old man." Now, if the old man doesn't agree, is she also planning to kill relatives? I'm so angry, I'm so angry!"
The old man ignored the angry elder brother, moved slowly to Lin Feng's side, stretched his neck and glanced at the accounts: "Jiao Jiao, the family doesn't have any savings, at most 5,000 will be allocated. It's still far from the line drawn by your master." , can only get the last seat."
Lin Feng said: "Then take out five thousand."
Anyway, it is a lie that the last three on the list are the Yi tribe.
The expropriation did not go to Lin's head. It is said that this matter has nothing to do with Lin. This time it was involved purely because of being tricked.
The old man was speechless: "I really don't feel bad at all."
Five thousand taels of silver was naturally not a lot of money to the Lin family back then, but to the Lin family with only a few old guys now, this is the coffin book. Lin Feng opened his mouth to donate all of them, and he didn't worry that the old guys would have no place to bury them after they died.
"Five thousand taels will buy the lives of your elders, so there is no need to be distressed. The charge of conspiracy is a capital offense at other times."
The lord really knows how to play Match 3.
"Jiao Jiao, do you really think she is worth following? She is not friendly to the aristocratic family, and I don't know what will happen in the future." I have seen someone who is cheating, but I have never seen someone who writes "asking for money" on her face.
"My lord has always been that people don't offend me, and I don't offend others."
The implication is that the aristocratic family first offends the base.
Lin Feng calmly asked an important question: "The Lin family has too few people, and you don't know how many times you have learned the news. How can you guarantee that you will not be deceived by others? Sun'er remembers the family's admonition and does not like to make public, but They have never concealed their origins, how can they ensure that they did not use this as an excuse to kill people?"
Of course, this is just her baseless guess.
Lin Feng didn't hide anymore, and no one connected her with Lin's humble child, but she just wanted to arouse the suspicion of the two old foxes in front of her. Then he poured heavy medicine: "Grandson is fortunate to gather the heart of the second grade Shangzhong. With me, the Lin family can be stable for decades. Back then, the clansmen fled in a hurry, and these local people, would they really want to see the Lin family come back again? Not necessarily Bar?"
The two brothers fell silent for an instant.
expression, ugly.
"If it wasn't me but other colleagues who came here today, with the temper of the great-grandfather, everyone in the Lin family would be bloodbathed. Does the grandson hate it, or does he not hate it? Can the lord still reuse the grandson without any grudges? Great-grandfather thought about it, this kind of vicious plan is really going to be successful, who is more proud?" Lin Feng handed the account to the old housekeeper and asked him to go to the private treasury to withdraw money.
