Chapter 868 Chapter 868: Great-grandfather, you are Jiaojiao [Please vote]
“Where did General Chao start talking about this?”
Lin Feng opened his mouth to reveal the true identity of the young warrior.
She raised her hand and pressed the hilt of her sword. Her eyes shifted from the blood on the slate to Chao Lian's face. When the soldiers confronting the guard heard the sound, they separated like a tide. Lin Feng and the other four stepped forward slowly. The young warrior looked at Lin Feng with confusion.
Then he put away his weapon: "Nvjun Lin?"
Lin Feng stepped forward and saluted, Chao Lian hurriedly returned the salute, with a faint smile on her lips: "Thank you, General Chao, for showing mercy, otherwise today's situation would not be easy to deal with."
Chao Lian's face revealed. Reticent: "Don't dare."
After he separated from Sixth Brother and Thirteen, he set off on his 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, and even if he wanted to take revenge, he had no target. He was always worried about the safety of his eldest brother and his family. He was passing by Fourth Uncle Lin's hometown, thinking that just sending a letter wouldn't delay him, so he sent the letter first.
It was still midnight when we arrived, but the owner of Lin House was unexpectedly not asleep yet, and his brows were filled with sadness. Chao Lian came to the door to explain his identity and intention, and talked about the current situation of Fourth Uncle Lin. The owner of Lin's house was very excited and begged Chao Lian to wait a little longer and write a letter home to Fourth Uncle Lin who was living abroad. This request was reasonable and reasonable, so he naturally did not refuse and agreed with a smile.
Result——
I got the letter from home, but someone came to attack me on the back.
Chao Lian originally wanted to take a heavy blow, but he unexpectedly learned that this group of people were acting under the banner of Shen Jun's account, so he showed mercy out of caution. He only injured people, not killed them. Lin Zhai was unable to protect himself and was surrounded by invading enemies.
He was thinking about how to deal with the situation when someone called out his identity. Chao Lian looked around and finally recognized Lin Feng.
Chao Lian and Lin Feng had a relationship, but they were not familiar with each other.
Rather than recognizing Lin Feng, it is better to say that he recognized the unique inscription on her waist. Lin Feng came forward and testified that these soldiers were from Shen Tang's tent. This put Chao Lian in a dilemma: "Can I take the liberty to ask, what is the purpose of Lin Nujun's visit?"
Lin Feng said the most frightening words in the gentlest tone: "My lord has received accurate information. The Lin family has secretly discussed with a group of aristocratic families to do harm to the lord. However, the lord has a kind and generous temperament, and she is not willing to do anything to it." They started killing and blood flowed like rivers, so they ordered us to come and persuade them. If Mrs. Lin sincerely changes her ways, this matter will be over with a small punishment."
Chao Lian sighed: "Jun Shen is still so kind, but he is bullied sometimes. We need thunderous skills.”
He couldn’t help but think of his elder brother.
If the eldest brother could be more cruel, there might be another chance. Compared with those evil-hearted people in the Dragon Slaying Bureau, he is too simple and kind.
Now that the eldest brother has passed away, Mr. Shen is the only tenderness left.
Chao Lian's words angered the old man holding the staff on one side.
The latter looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.
He said solemnly: "Shen Youli is rebellious and greedy. He has extorted money from the aristocratic family several times. Everyone is angry and hates it. How come you, a kid like you, say that you are not like us? Leading troops to the door is not just a slap in the face. Do you want to destroy the whole family?”
Lin Feng looked at the old man holding the staff with complicated eyes.
The tone was gentler: "Mr. Lin is wrong. If he did not lead his troops to the door but came alone, who would have known that there was no swordsman waiting in the dark of Lin's house? The Qing Dynasty accumulated by the Lin family for generations Fame is not easy, Mr. Lin should not take it lightly A trip through troubled waters. I heard that all the young people in the family moved away from Lingzhou in the disaster a few years ago. At your age, how can you live in peace and contentment? Seriously? Don’t let anyone cheat you!”
Although the old man holding the staff in front of him cannot practice cultivation, he is extremely talented and learned. He was once a famous lecturer in Xinguo Academy. Later, due to civil strife in the royal court, he couldn't stand Zheng Qiao's chaos in government, so he resigned and returned to his hometown. The nearby aristocratic families admired his reputation and came to pay homage to him with heavy gifts. He had no time to spare, so he accepted students who liked him. Afterwards, the Lin family went south to avoid disaster, and the Lin family members moved in batches.
But I didn’t expect that he hadn’t left yet.
The old man holding the staff knocked on the ground angrily, and his anger filled his beard: "Boy, I don't want to listen to you if you want to sow discord. Your threats can't scare me! Even if I am the only old man in the Lin family, I will never give in!"
He then said, "If you want to kill or behead me, it's up to you!"
The smell of gunpowder suddenly became strong in the air.
Chao Lian begged with an embarrassed look on his face: "Nvjun Lin, there is not even a brave warrior in Lin's nursing home. There are no important people in the house, and no money. The only few clan members are also elderly people. It's difficult to walk, let alone participate in the rebellion. There must be a misunderstanding, maybe I am really being deceived by the traitor. Please wait until the matter is cleared up."
His position is very serious at the moment. Awkward.
Fourth Uncle Lin was his savior. He helped him deliver letters home, and then turned around and told him that his grandfather was gone? Chao Lian cannot sit idly by and ignore this matter. But if he takes care of it, he may involve his eldest brother's family members and implicate them for no reason.
For a time, Chao Lian was in a dilemma.
He wanted to delay, but the old man with the staff didn't appreciate it.
He opened his mouth and provoked Lin Feng to ask for money or his life.
Yin Yang said angrily: "...I see that you are a good swordsman. If you die by this sword, your life will not be in vain."
Lin Feng: "..."< br>
Yu Zi thought that Lin Feng respected the old and loved the young and gave him face, but she didn't expect that the old man had a bad temper and had a bad temper, and he failed to live up to his good intentions. She hummed: "You want to ask for death? What's so difficult about it! It's not convenient for Ling De's sword to be unsheathed recently, but my sword has no taboos. If you want to borrow it, I won't be stingy. I'm afraid the old gentleman doesn't have the opportunity. Courage, just relying on old age!"
The old man holding the cane was angry and immediately threw away the cane and spread his hand: "I will not be humiliated by you!"
Yu Zi actually pulled out the sword and wanted to throw it over.
However, Lin Feng moved faster than her.
With lightning speed, he reached out his hand and pushed back the half-unsheathed sword.
Yu Zi was puzzled and surprised: "Ling De?"
"The current head of the Lin family is gone, so there is no real person to talk things over, so I will shyly make decisions for them." Lin Feng His speech shocked both parties. The old man holding the staff did not expect Shen Tang to be so thick-skinned, and his fingers kept trembling.
The old man holding the staff was quite old, and Lin Feng was really afraid of making him angry. Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, he opened his mouth and shouted: "My great-grandfather is old, so it is better to be less angry."
Hold on The old man with the stick: "..."
Yu Zi: "..."
Yang Ying and Lu Ji, who were waiting in full swing: "..."
They suddenly remembered Lin Feng. My surname is Lin.
Could it be that he and Lin from the Lin family are from the same family? ? ? The sudden commotion almost broke the old man's waist. He was still angry: "Who are you? I have seen people who mistakenly identify their fathers, but I have never seen people who mistakenly identify their father and grandfather for their own father. The Lin family is a small family. , I can’t fit this giant Buddha of yours, huh!”
Lin Feng was helpless: "Great-grandfather, I am Jiaojiao."
The old man holding the staff was stunned because of the nickname "Jiaojiao". He hadn't been mentioned in years. Hearing it again suddenly, it took him a while to remember "Jiao Jiao"'s face. In my impression, the child was born very delicate and blessed.
He has a somewhat naughty personality and likes to be obedient.
As the grandchildren blossomed, the Lin family prospered. He is the oldest person in the family. The younger generation are afraid of children bumping into him and are very reserved when they are in his presence. There is only one exception, that child is his "Jiao Jiao". She is also the most similar among all the children to his eldest daughter who died young, even the flesh on her face is so similar.
He felt that this child was very close to him.
However, his "Jiao Jiao" died just like his unlucky eldest daughter. The Lin clan members who went south to avoid trouble did not receive "Jiao Jiao" and his entourage. After some inquiring, they found out that their servants had betrayed them on the way, and all the female relatives, including his fourth grandson, had died.
They didn't even know where the bodies were dumped.
When the news came back, the old man holding the staff was silent for a long time.
Until a few hours ago, the young man Chao Lian brought back the news that his grandson was still alive and was accidentally rescued from the river by a pair of masters and apprentices. This news gave him some comfort. He also asked about the location of the accident and was going to send someone there to check.
He also knew that Shen Tang was not easy to mess with, so he made preparations in advance, wrote a letter home to the fourth child, and arranged for people to go south to deliver the message... However, before he could finish processing, Shen Tang's minions came in with troops. He knew that today was the day for his death, and the result——
The tall man in front of him called himself "Jiao Jiao".
The old man holding the staff looked at Lin Feng's face silently, trying to find the rounded arc that "Jiao Jiao" once had on this face that had grown longer. Lin Feng knew that his eyesight was bad, so he slowly stepped forward and said, "Great-grandfather, I am so beautiful. When you named me, you said I was the brightest crescent moon of the Lin family. Do you still remember?"
The old man holding the staff raised his old but not rough hand and gently touched Lin Feng's cheek. It took a long time to match the face in front of him with that of the girl back then. He looked up and down in disbelief: "Jiaojiao...you are really Jiaojiao? My child, my child, have you grown so big? How did you survive?"
"Great-grandfather, this matter is a long story. When the matter is resolved, Jiaojiao will tell you everything clearly, okay?"
This is not a place to reminisce about the past.
She was not so big-hearted as to ignore everyone present.
It's okay if Lin Feng didn't say anything. As soon as he said it, the old man holding the staff suddenly remembered that Lin Feng was Shen Tang's man, and his old face twitched slightly. He remembered that Jiaojiao was a girl from home, but in front of him, Lin Feng was wearing an inscription on his waist, and his mind was stuck again.
Just as he was about to say something, the girl who once only jumped up to him to beg for rewards now firmly pressed down the hand he was about to raise, and said in a calm and firm tone: "My great-grandfather is old. , The Lin family does not have a family leader to make the decision for the time being. According to the rules of the Lin family, I can be the leader!"
The old man holding the staff suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Jiaojiao!"
Lin Feng said with a smile: "Great-grandfather, my lord gave my grandson the name Lin Feng, and his mentor named him Lingde. Father and the others are not here, and grandson My son is going to carry the lintel of the Lin family, don’t you think? My great-grandfather loves this younger generation, and he doesn’t want Jiao Jiao to be blamed for her parricide?”
The face of the old man holding the staff twitched.
He held Lin Feng's wrist behind his back, very hard.
However, this little strength is nothing to a literary scholar. The smile on Lin Feng's face did not change, but he slightly lowered his eyebrows and looked directly at the glare from the elders of the clan. The old man holding the staff was old, and his back was not as straight as before. Lin Feng was tall, more than half a head taller than him. The momentum is even more overwhelming than the opponent's.
After a long time, the old man holding the staff loosened his grip.
Sighed: "It's up to you."
Lin Feng turned around with a smile: "The matter is solved."
Lin Zhai didn't really have much savings, most of it was transferred. Some of the land that could not be transferred was sold to other families, leaving only a small portion. When the situation stabilizes, Lin will still have a way out. The old man holding the staff sat in the main seat with a dark face.
Another old man of about the same age looked at him with a smile: "Why are you so angry, brother? Isn't it a good thing that Jiaojiao is still alive?"
The old man holding the staff glanced at the great-granddaughter who was looking down at the accounts and preparing to take out money from the warehouse to help Shen Tang make money and eliminate the disaster. He was holding something in his heart and muttered: "The daughter is not good enough to stay, not good enough to stay! She even threatened me. Come on, if I don’t agree, will she also be planning to commit murder? She’ll be so angry, so angry!”
The old man ignored the tantrum. Brother, he slowly moved to Lin Feng's side, stretched his neck and took a look at the accounts: "Jiaojiao, I don't have any savings in the house, at most I can even out five thousand. I'm still far from the line drawn by your lord, so I can only get the last seat." ."
Lin Feng said: "Then take out five thousand."
Anyway, it is a lie that the Yi tribe is the last three.
The conquest did not fall on the Lin family. It is said that this matter has nothing to do with the Lin family. This time, it was purely a trap.
The old man was speechless: "I really don't feel bad at all."
Five thousand taels of silver was naturally not a big sum of money to the Lin family back then, but for Lin Zhai who only has a few old guys now, this is the coffin. . Lin Feng opened his mouth to donate them all, not worrying that there would be no place to bury the old guys if they died.
“Five thousand taels bought the lives of your elders, so there is no need to feel bad. The crime of conspiracy would be a capital crime at any other time.”
The Lord really knows how to play the game of three races. Happy.
"Jiaojiao, do you really think she is worth following? She is not friendly to the aristocratic family. I don't know what will happen in the future." I have seen people extorting money, but I have never seen the words "asking for money" written on their faces. of.
"My lord, I will never offend others unless they offend me."
The implication is that the aristocratic family offends the lowly ones first.
Lin Feng calmly asked an important question: "The Lin family has too few people, and you don't know how many times the information you know has gone through. How can you ensure that you are not deceived and taken for granted? My grandson must remember that the family members The admonishment does not like publicity, but it has never concealed one's origins. How to ensure that they did not use this to make a fuss about killing someone?"
Of course, this is just her baseless guess.
Lin Feng did not hide anything 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 another heavy dose of medicine was given: "My grandson is lucky enough to gather the heart of the second-level Chinese master. With me here, the Lin family can be stable for decades. The clan members fled in a hurry back then. Are these local people really willing to see the Lin family come back? Not necessarily Right? ”
The two brothers fell silent for a moment.
The expression is ugly.
"If it were not me but other colleagues who came here today, with my great-grandfather's temper, the entire Lin family would definitely be bloodbathed. Does my grandson hate it, or not? Can the lord still use him without any grudges? Grandson? Please think about it, if such a vicious plan is to succeed, who will be more proud?" Lin Feng handed the account to the old steward and asked him to withdraw the money from the private treasury.
