Chapter 155： Anxious head of the Lin family

Chapter 155 Anxious head of the Lin family

Seeing that they were members of the Lin family, Liu Yun politely invited Lin Fen and Lin Tingzhen's uncle and nephew into the hall to have tea and talk.

After going through this funeral, she had a good impression of the Lin family. After all, Lin Tingzhen was able to stand up for this family and face Zheng Haichuan, the postmaster. This courage is also very rare.

Lin Tingzhen took a sip of tea, and then hurriedly asked: "Nephew, I heard that Princess Shu came to talk with you, your niece and daughter-in-law, Mr. Nie and Mr. Chang for a long time. What did you talk about?" What, why did you lose the post of county lieutenant even though you recognized him?"

Lin Jinxiao didn't expect that this clan uncle came all the way from the county to inquire about his crimes, so he had a cold face and didn't want to answer him.

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, please talk to uncle."

Seeing this, Lin Tingzhen had no choice but to turn his eyes to Chu Nanzhi.

Chu Nanzhi was actually thinking about something related to this.

Princess Jinshu returned to Beijing from Luyan Port for less than half a month, and the eldest son-in-law of the Qi family received a transfer order, which shows that this person is the candidate that has been negotiated long ago.

Transferred here from other places, it is no better than Lin Jinxiao who is light-weight and takes up the post directly. There are many matters to be handed over, and I am afraid that it will take some time for the new county lieutenant to take up the post.

Now it depends on which side gets the transfer order faster.

Actually, she didn't expect Lin Jinxiao to be of much help to her, so she had to take advantage of this time to arrange everything properly.

Since Lin Jinxiao was not going to mention this matter to everyone, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut and drink tea deliberately, not revealing a word to Lin Tingzhen.

Lin Tingzhen looked at the couple pretending to be mysterious, and looked even more anxious: "Don't just keep talking, Dalang, your second and third uncles are both angry about this."

The implication is that the Lin family offended the Qi family completely because of Chu Wenyu's matter, and felt that the Lin family was on the wrong team.

Chu Nanzhi looked at the two of them with fixed eyes, and only then did she understand why only the fourth uncle Lin Fen came among the three elders.

Seeing that neither of the couple was willing to answer him, Liu Yun turned around and said, "Head of the Lin family, you are from the city, have you heard how the Qi family Xiaolang was sentenced?"

Subconsciously, she still cares more about this issue.

"It has been sentenced."

Lin Tingzhen raised his eyebrows: "This morning at the gate of the county government office, he was hit hard with 50 slaps, and then he was taken into prison again. It seems that he was sentenced to a one-year sentence."

"Sentenced to one year in prison?"

Liu Yun seemed a little disappointed.

According to the law of Dahe, this kind of unfilial behavior should be exiled for two thousand miles.

Chu Nanzhi listened but couldn't help secretly sighing that Zheng Haichuan was not a simple person, and it was no wonder that he was able to be relied on by the county guard and the governor.

Received so much money from the Qi family, but did not overly favor Qi Xiaolang, the cash cow, because of this, and did not detain Qi Mochen for three to five days as he expected, and then released him from prison.

But this person did not give Qi Mochen a heavy sentence in accordance with the law, and sentenced Qi Mochen to death, or exiled him for three thousand miles.

Such a compromise method not only gave old Nie, old Chang, and the Chu family an explanation, but also did not cause too much embarrassment in front of the Qi family.

It seems that I still underestimated this person.

Restraining her mind, she fixed her eyes on the unwilling Liu Yun, and persuaded patiently: "It's already good to have this result. Does mother really think that Zheng Haichuan can be ruthless and kill that unfilial son?"

"Zheng Haichuan is a smart man. Although it is a crime of unfilial piety, it is difficult to have a unified sentencing standard."

Lin Tingzhen said: "After all, Brother Wen Yu was not killed by Qi Xiaolang himself. Both parties are satisfied with how he handled it."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Jinxiao inadvertently, only to remember that his nephew had just walked in without using a cane, and said with a surprised face, "Hey, nephew, are your legs quicker?"

Lin Jinxiao pursed his lips angrily, but his eyes were not completely blurred: "The lady said that she still needs to rest for a while."

After saying that, she couldn't help but look at Chu Nanzhi affectionately.

"It's better to rest and recuperate for a while. When your legs and feet are back to good, if it doesn't work, let's beg Chang Lao and Nie Lao to go to Jingling City and see if they can get an official back."

Paused, Lin Tingzhen thought again and said: "Dalang, you are the hope of our whole family now, don't let the Qi family compare you."

"Let's talk about these things later."

Lin Jinxiao looked at the two uncles and nephews, and was about to get up: "If the clan uncle and uncle have nothing else to do, the younger generation should go back upstairs to rest."

"Slow down."

Lin Fen stopped him in a panic, and said with a bitter face: "Uncle, I really want to ask my granddaughter-in-law about something."

The last time I went to Anlin Village, I didn’t have the nerve to speak up, and when I went to the Chu family’s funeral, it was difficult to speak up. Looking at the couple at this time, he finally said it with an old face:

"Nan Zhi, it's only half a month ago. The restaurant owned by your uncle Hun has been smashed up several times and lost a lot of money. The officials from the county government have come several times and have not found anyone suspicious. A few days ago you Uncle Hun kept his manpower on purpose, he never thought that in the middle of the night he would be beaten up with a black nose and his face was swollen, and then let the group retreat completely. Can you go to the city sometime and find a way to help uncle find out and see what is going on with this group of people? Where did it come from?"

"Fourth uncle really regarded my wife as a god-man, and pointed her at everything."

Lin Jinxiao's words to fourth uncle were simply unreasonable. This was clearly pushing her into the pit of fire.

The fourth uncle Lin Fen was very distressed: "This old man has nothing to do. There are always people making trouble during the day, and there is no peace at night. A few days ago, he arrested his gang, but after a few days of peace, someone came to make trouble, not only from our family Such a situation has occurred in restaurants, and even the newly opened restaurants have encountered such strange things."

Lin Jinxiao was not allowed to speak this time, but Chu Nanzhi readily agreed, "Fourth Uncle, please be patient for a while, and I can go and see the old man for you when I finish working on the fish pond."

As expected, as Zhou said, the fourth uncle is indeed holding back something in his heart, and she really has to help solve this matter.

Otherwise, I am afraid that similar encounters will not be avoided when the restaurant in my family opens.

Seeing that she agreed so happily, Lin Jinxiao thought that she would go to the city to open a restaurant in the near future, so he immediately reacted and didn't say any more.

Lin Fen nodded gratefully, and said with a gratified smile, "Last time, I heard from the patriarch of your village that you were planning to raise fish. Fishermen, before the fish from that family were sent to the city, they were contracted by the Qi family. Nanzhi, you will grow fish in the future. I will definitely introduce you to more merchants, so that the fish in your pond will not grow up. Out of market."

"In this case, I will thank fourth uncle in advance."

Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile.

This fourth uncle is much kinder than the other two elders, at least he is a polite person.

"It's all a family, so don't be so polite."

Lin Fen stood up with a smile, and told Lin Tingzhen: "Ting Zhen, let's go back and wait for Nan Zhi's good news."

"Let's go back after dinner at home."

Liu Yun politely persuaded her to stay.

"No, in-laws, don't bother me."

Lin Tingzhen changed his mouth and stopped calling her old sister, with a friendly face.

Before leaving the house, he turned around again, and originally wanted to ask the couple about Princess Shu, but after taking a closer look at the couple, he didn't want to make fun of himself any longer, and left the house resentfully.
