Chapter 596

A month later, Sheng's family, which had long been in the sunset, finally faced the fate of imminent collapse.

In the new round of great changes, grandson stood in the wrong team and was about to be sent to the guillotine. It takes at least 500000 taels to redeem his life. However, the second son of the Sheng family has lost half of the Sheng family's property. At the same time, several families who had a holiday with the Sheng family suddenly fell into a well and launched an attack on the Sheng family.

The remaining industry of the Sheng family has also been consumed. The end of the Sheng family will be living on the streets, one will be decapitated and the other will become a gambler.

Zhuo Lin appeared at Sheng's house again at this time. Looking at the old and haggard appearance of the elegant and dignified lady Sheng in the past, Zhuo Lin seemed to have a stiff face and finally showed a smile.

"It's you?! did you find someone to deal with the Sheng family?!" Mrs. Sheng grabbed Zhuo Lin's sleeve and pulled wildly, "You evil barrier! You want to kill your brother! You want to kill the Sheng family!"

Zhuo Lin smiled and looked at Mrs. Sheng crazily in front of her. Then she looked at her father who couldn't get up in bed. She gently raised her hand and opened Mrs. Sheng's hand holding her sleeve.

"Mother, is it painful for you to see your eldest brother dying?"

Mrs. Sheng reddened her eyes. "Evil! I wish I had strangled you as soon as I came down!"

Zhuo Lin said, "yes, you didn't strangle me, so... You killed my son."

Mrs. Sheng's face changed and her body shook. "What are you talking about? I don't understand!"

Zhuo Lin said, "mother, I didn't completely faint at that time. It's a pity. Why don't you kill me together?"

Mrs. Sheng said in a soft voice, "you didn't kill me. Now it's time for someone else to die. Mother, as long as my eldest brother pays for my son's life, you earn it."

"You... You..." Mrs. Sheng staggered back a few steps and looked at Zhuo Lin with horror.

This feeling was more terrible than the last time Zhuolin threatened her with a gun. She felt that the smiling daughter talking to herself was crazy.

"Lin... Lin'er..." Master Sheng, lying in bed, struggled to reach out to Zhuo Lin.

Zhuo Lin looked at Master Sheng calmly, "father, what do you want to say?"

Master Sheng trembled his lips. "Lin'er... That's your big brother. When you were a child, he held you and carried you. He also hurt you. You... You are brothers and sisters."

Zhuo Lin said coldly, "his mother killed my son, either she died or her son died“

"I'm your mother!!" Mrs. Sheng's shrill voice echoed in the room. "You unfilial daughter, you want to kill your mother!! you're a dead thing in hell..." Zhuo Lin coldly pushed aside Mrs. Sheng who wanted to hit herself. "Don't worry, you'll accompany me even if I go to hell."

Master Sheng finally sat up and shouted with all his strength, "lin'er!"

"Dad, please, let it go. Let go of your brother and Sheng family."

Zhuo Lin didn't answer. Master Sheng said, "do you want dad to kneel down and beg you?"

The door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and the Sheng family knelt on the ground in the small courtyard.

Zhuo Lin saw the two sisters in law, several nephews and nieces, and even several concubines of the Sheng family and the servants who had taken care of Zhuo Lin since childhood. The children who were not sensible sobbed, and they didn't know why they were kneeling here. Some sensible children rubbed their eyes and cried, looking at the door helplessly, calling them aunts and grandparents.

Master Sheng trembled and said, "lin'er, look at them... What do you want them to do? Cough... My father didn't ask you anything... This time, I'll be my father and beg you..."

Seeing Zhuo Lin unmoved, Master Sheng struggled to get out of bed. Afraid that he might fall, Mrs. Sheng hurried to help him and said, "master, don't beg her! I don't believe she really dares to go against the law and kill me!"

"Shut up!" Master Sheng gasped and scolded his wife. He was weak and had never said cruel words to his wife all his life. At this time, he was obviously forced to the extreme.

Master Sheng finally stood up against his wife and looked at Zhuo Lin standing on one side and knelt down with a really thump.

"Master?!"

"Dad?!"

"Grandpa!!"

In the room and in the yard, there was a cry of surprise.

"Lin'er, Dad, please... Cough... Do you really want dad to die in peace?"

Zhuo Lin looked at the haggard man kneeling in front of her. She only felt ridiculous, pathetic and pathetic.

This is her father, but he never wanted to protect her. In such a patriarchal society, he allowed his wife to arrange his daughter and dared not have the slightest objection. Being his wife may be very happy, but being his daughter can only be full of sadness.

Now, he is dying, and he has to threaten his daughter to protect his wife.

Compared with him, Fu Zhenglong Xiao and others should be ashamed to commit suicide.

But at this moment, she hated him incomparably!

"Arlene!" Sheng Zhuoyan rushed in from the outside and was shocked to see the situation in the room. "Dad, mom, you are..." he hurried to help Master Sheng up.

Seeing the eldest daughter back, Sheng Fu seemed to have found a backer again. While helping her husband up with Sheng Zhuoyan, he cursed Zhuolin's unfilial behavior.

Master Sheng still looked at Zhuo Lin, "lin'er..."

Zhuo Lin ignored, and Master Sheng finally couldn't help falling down again.

"Master!"

"Dad!"

The people kneeling in the yard couldn't help but rush in one after another.

The room was noisy and chaotic. Zhuo Lin stood aside and looked at the scene coldly. She suddenly felt that all this was boring and ridiculous.

Looking at the people carrying Master Sheng to bed and asking for a doctor, Zhuo Lin turned and went out.

Two days later, Sheng Zhuoyan brought money from the Wei family and saved the young master of the Sheng family. However, the money that was exported and swallowed up by others will not come back. The Wei family is also reluctant to support the Yue family because of Sheng Zhuoyan's behavior. The Sheng family sold all their ancestral things and dismissed most of their servants before they could save an empty ancestral home.

Half a month later, Master Sheng died.

That day, Zhuo Lin left the place where she gave birth to her. She thought she would never come back in her life.

"Arlene, don't you blame your sister?" only Sheng Zhuoyan came to see her off. She hasn't been in good health since she gave birth to a child. She has been busy for a long time, and her face is more haggard these days.

Zhuo Lin shook her head and said faintly, "this is my sister's choice. I have no right to blame you."

Sheng Zhuoyan sighed. Her beautiful face was full of sadness. She stretched out her hand and hugged her sister's thin body, "Arlene, I know you hate... But you can't do that. After all, we are..." looking at Zhuolin's look, Sheng Zhuoyan swallowed the words behind her.

Zhuo Lin said, "elder sister, please tell the Sheng family. As long as I'm still alive, they'd better not leave here, let alone step into officialdom. Next time, you don't have so much money to save lives. Sometimes, money may not save lives."

"Ling, you..."

"I'm leaving." Zhuo Lin didn't want to hear what she said, and calmly said, "elder sister, take care."

Sheng Zhuoyan could only nod, "take care, too."

Zhuo Lin turned and wanted to go. She suddenly thought about it and asked, "elder sister, don't you really hate it?"

Sheng Zhuoyan was stunned until Zhuolin boarded the ship and didn't say a word again.

After returning to the north, Zhuo Lin didn't go to the capital again, but went directly to the four northern provinces. During that time, she was very decadent and confused.

Those lofty aspirations and good expectations for future life in her heart seemed to have collapsed. After leaving her hometown, she didn't even know why she was still alive.

What does it have to do with her, whether it's a golden horse or a change of dynasty?

She lived in a small yard not far from the dragon's house. She saw no one except her aunt and cousin every day.

If one day long Xiao didn't come in and wake her up, Zhuo Lin thought maybe she would go on like this until she died.

Long Xiao has just returned from other places. He is still wearing an iron gray uniform and looks a little dusty.

Not seen for months, Long Xiao seems to have changed a lot. He became more calm and sharp. There was an undisguised evil spirit between his eyebrows and corners of his eyes. Zhuo Lin knew that he had just returned from the battlefield.

Now long Xiao is a real power. Taking advantage of the chaos during this period, he has his own troops and forces, and no one can control him.

Young talents are naturally different from one party's heroes.

"Are you going to go on like this?" Long Xiao sat in his chair and looked at some small rooms and the simple furnishings in the room. Finally, he looked at Zhuo Lin.

Zhuo Lin poured a glass of white water on the table in front of him and said faintly, "I'm fine now, but you... Have just come back? Why don't you go back to see your aunt and sister-in-law? What are you doing here?" he didn't even have time to change his clothes. Zhuo Lin naturally could see that he came directly before he came home.

Long Xiao picked his sword eyebrow and said, "I just fought with Fu Zheng. I guess you didn't read the newspaper."

Zhuo Lin was stunned. She really didn't see it.

Suddenly hearing the name Fu Zheng, she was in a trance for a moment. The name seemed to be far away from her and a little strange.

Seeing Zhuo Lin not talking, Long Xiao said with a smile, "Fu Zheng fell out with Wang Derui."

"Then?" Zhuo Lin was not surprised. Wang Derui was not tolerant, and Fu Zheng was not a thing in the pool. The two men would fall out sooner or later.

Long Xiao said with a smile, "Wang Derui asked me to help destroy Cai Fu Zheng. We fought a battle first. Then..." Long Xiao smiled with some meaning, "we killed Wang Derui together."

Zhuo Lin said, "raising tigers is a danger."

"Do you mean me or Fu Zheng?" Long Xiao asked curiously.

Zhuo Lin looked at him and said, "it's really a problem of raising tigers, but... Even if I don't help Fu Zheng, I can kill Wang Derui, but if I help Wang Derui, I might lose both sides with him. Fu Zheng is very cruel now. The four northern provinces are not too peaceful." he doesn't completely control the four northern provinces and doesn't want to get involved in the affairs in the Customs for the time being, The reason why I promised Wang Derui was just profitable.

After saying this, Long Xiao looked at Zhuo Lin and said, "he asked me about you."

Zhuo Lin looked slightly changed and said in a deep voice, "ask me what to do?"

Long Xiao said, "you asked someone to send all his things back, and then disappeared without a trace. He was probably afraid of something wrong with you. However, he became quite a lot this time." Long Xiao didn't have a very good relationship with Fu Zheng, but he was also familiar. Naturally, you can see the changes of Fu Zheng these days.

Zhuo Lin said, "I'm not interested in these."

Long Xiao nodded and said, "he probably knows you're in the northeast. He told me that you don't have to hide from him, and he won't bother you in the future." speaking of this, Long Xiao rubbed his tea cup and said with a smile: "he now sits in the land of three provinces, hundreds of thousands of troops and horses. He has a beautiful wife, concubine and children. He can be regarded as happy."

It is said that Feng was frightened and gave birth to a son, which was deeply loved by the old master and Lady of the Fu family.

Although Fu Zheng didn't take Feng seriously and the old lady of the Fu family made it clear that she didn't like Feng, for the sake of her grandson, the old master of the Fu family forced Fu Zheng to marry Feng.

"Arlene, it's been almost a year, and you should come out." for Zhuo Lin, Long Xiao is also a little guilty. No one expected that the unrest in the capital would be so sudden. He didn't care about Zhuo Lin at all. When he finally found time to go home, it was the third day of Zhuo Lin's production. If he had sent Zhuo Lin back to the four northern provinces earlier, this would not have happened.

Zhuo Lin smiled lightly, "I know, cousin, don't worry, I'm fine."

Long Xiao sighed helplessly, "ah Ling, do you remember what you said? Do you really want to die in this small yard? What's the use of you... In addition to letting those who don't like you gloat? Now the situation is different, ah Lin, I need your help."

"What can I do for you?"

Long Xiao said, "I just took over these sites. Now there are still many forces in the four northern provinces. I'm afraid I have no time to take into account the local people's livelihood for some time. Arlene, do you want to try?"

Zhuo Lin was surprised. "You asked me... To manage the place?"

Long Xiao asked, "why? Don't you dare? You really have no experience. Don't be afraid, not now."

Zhuo Lin didn't speak. In fact, she knew that long Xiao didn't really need her help. He just wanted to find something for her to do.

However, such a decision... Doesn't look like what Long Xiao would do.

Seeing Zhuo Lin staring at herself, Long Xiao didn't hide it. He smiled and said, "it's someone else's advice. He said you can do it well."

"Who?" Zhuo Lin asked.

The Dragon roared, "Prince an."

Zhuo Lin was stunned and quickly reacted. Long Xiao said Xiao Zhu.

In the sudden mutiny a year ago, Zhuo Lin lost her child and Xiao Zhu lost her throne and freedom.

Long Xiao knew that Zhuo Lin and Xiao Zhu had a good relationship. "Before I came back, I visited Prince an in the capital. He seemed to be doing well. He specially asked you. This is his suggestion. Arlene, how are you thinking?"

Zhuo Lin asked, "do you really believe I can do it well?"

Long Xiao said with a smile, "the question is not whether I believe it or not, but whether you want it or not?"

Zhuo Lin pondered for a moment and said, "I need time to think about it."

"Of course." Long Xiao didn't force her and said, "take your time and don't worry."

Zhuo Lin looked at the man sitting in front of her and whispered, "cousin, thank you."

Long Xiao said with a smile, "if you really want to thank me, cheer up. Arlene, I don't believe a person who can stick to the present all the way can be knocked down by these things."

"I see," said Zhuo Lin.

Long Xiao put down his tea cup and left.

Three days later, Zhuo Lin walked out of the courtyard and into Longxiao's study.

Out of the study, Zhuo Lin officially became long Xiao's military office assistant.

Three years later, she became the first official female official in the four northern provinces. A few years later, he became Vice Minister of Yunzhou, which opened the way for Yunzhou to move from the poorest and backward place in the four northern provinces to the most prosperous place.

During her tenure as vice governor of Yunzhou, Zhuo Lin sent off several governors, known as "the second governor of iron and the governor of running water", but everyone knows that she is the real master of Yunzhou.

In the 28th year of emperor Anxia, Zhuo Lin was promoted to governor of Yunzhou.

In 29, he joined the capital and served as vice minister of the Ministry of finance.

In the first year of the summer, he took office as chief of the Ministry of finance.

In the sixth year of Daxia, he took office as the second president of Daxia.
