Chapter 279 Pride
Chen raised his head slowly, and glanced at Lin Jinxiao who was as firm as a rock in front of him. At this moment, he could see his hard heart, and began to regret yesterday's decision.
But things have developed to such a point, how can it be easy to stop.
Even if she couldn't get the couple's understanding, she wouldn't let the couple have a better life.
Chen's eyes wandered erratically on the couple who looked very cold, and said with sincerity:
"Nan Zhi, don't talk nonsense. I am Da Lang's mother. Even if I am not my own, I won't try to harm him. I came here today just to admit my mistake to you and your wife. He is also his own brother, you have imprisoned him for so long, and he knows he has repented, so please let him go."
"It's easy to talk about."
When it came to Lin Jinhong, Lin Jinxiao no longer had the leisure and elegance to accompany this woman to continue performing bitter scenes, so he got up solemnly, and forcibly helped Mrs. Chen up as well.
Then he turned his head and looked at Zhu Youan who was at the side, and asked in a low tone: "Master Prisoner, please tell me how my unworthy brother repented in prison?"
Zhu Youan shook his head helplessly: "My lord, Lin Jinghong has been in prison for more than a month. He refused to obey the discipline. He got entangled with the prisoners and beat the guards. As a result, three guards who were detained for hard labor were injured one after another. The prisoner who was imprisoned caused two minor injuries and five people were physically disabled, and was convicted ten days ago with a higher grade."
Mr. Chen listened to the coolness in his heart, and suddenly collapsed to the ground like a deflated ball, and then prayed unswervingly:
"Dalang, you are the county magistrate of Luyan Port now, don't be instigated by others, Erlang must have been humiliated in prison before he became confused, please see it for your father's sake first If Erlang is released, I will discipline him well so that he will not continue to pick quarrels in the village."
Hearing this, Lin Jinxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Chen's obedient kneeling in front of the county government office should be guided by an expert behind him, but he didn't expect that the person behind him was not a powerful person. Take this to yourself.
For a villain like Lin Jinhong, even if he wanted to forgive him, others would not tolerate him.
She is like this, and the next thing will save me a lot of trouble.
He pretended to be furious and angrily reprimanded Zhu You'an: "Zhu You'an, don't bully me. I just took office. I don't know the affairs of the county. Before my brother went to prison, he vowed to change his past. How could he do that in prison? Did you deliberately humiliate him and embarrass him for doing such evil things?"
Chen quickly followed suit: "Yes, Dalang, they must have humiliated Erlang. Now that you are the county magistrate of Luyan Port, you can't let these villains mess around. You must punish these villains."
"Lord Lin, don't listen to Chen's nonsense. Lin Jinhong did evil in prison, and there are all witnesses and material evidence."
Zhu You'an looked bitter, and was about to say more, but before he finished speaking, Lin Jinxiao immediately refuted him: "Who is the witness? The big prison is your domain, and it's not just a matter of your words to turn black and white. If you dare to provoke our mother-child relationship again, I will hold you accountable."
Zhu You'an was at a loss for words.
Mr. Chen was secretly happy. It seems that this stupid son still listens to him. Today's kneeling is not in vain. If he doesn't force him, he won't know how powerful he is.
Lin Jinxiao sighed, and looked at Zhu Youan: "If you still don't listen to my mother, go and release Lin Jinhong immediately."
Chen's smile was bright, and he looked even more proud, pointing at Zhu You'an who was not convinced, and said loudly: "Did you hear that, go and release my son quickly, or I will let my son dismiss you and hold you accountable for framing my son." guilt."
Qin Xianglian, however, sensed something strange, and secretly tugged at the hem of Chen Shi's clothes, but Chen Shi ignored it, looked at Lin Jinxiao with a reassuring smile, and continued excitedly, "Da Lang, I am very pleased for your mother that you have come to this realization. It's just that you are worshiped as the fifth-rank county magistrate now, shouldn't you also ask for an imperial order for your mother?"
"As it should be."
Lin Jinxiao nodded and said with a smile: "My mother has worked so hard to raise me, and she has worked hard, but the head of the Lin family has heartily expelled you from the clan. The son is deeply saddened. This time, the son will not only ask for an imperial order for the mother, but also completely reconcile with the Lin clan. People draw the line."
Paused, he then added: "Mother, what wish do you have? Today, in front of the whole county's elders, my son will be satisfied with you."
His sudden change of face made the members of the Lin clan and Liu Yun and his wife dumbfounded.
Chen raised her eyebrows happily, thinking that Chu Nanzhi deliberately made things difficult for herself, she was so angry that she felt depressed, glared at her angrily, and said sharply: "Da Lang, you lady is really too domineering, if it weren't for this woman Repeatedly instigating right and wrong, why would your mother, Jinhong and your sister suffer these hardships, you should divorce her, and then find a reliable marriage for your mother."
"you dare."
Liu Yun was furious, and the quadruplets also stared at Chen angrily, and begged Lin Jinxiao, "Father, don't listen to grandma's nonsense, it's obvious that they made a mistake, they stole money from our family and the people in the village. Why punish A Niang, we don't allow her to divorce A Niang."
"Shut up."
Lin Jinxiao angrily reprimanded disapprovingly, looked at Chu Nanzhi with deep eyes, and said in a cold tone:
"Mr. Chu, you can hear my mother's words clearly. My daughter-in-law of the Lin family doesn't need you to have much ability. The only thing you have to do is to be unconditional and obedient. My mother didn't treat you harshly, and she just stole it. You are resentful with dozens of taels of silver and all the dowry, and the unscrupulous people in Anlin Village have no kindness to you. Abandon you, do you have any complaints?"
Chu Nanzhi was about to shake her head in joy, but Lin Jinxiao felt anxious, and immediately pressed her shoulder, coughed lightly on purpose, and said solemnly:
"Chu Nanzhi, you have disobeyed your husband time and time again, disregarding the life and death of the whole family and wanting to stand up for others, just to make my mother unhappy, and you even instigated my Lin family head and the elders to expel my mother from the clan. go"
"Dalang, you can't say that."
Lin Tingzhen was very annoyed when he heard it, and interrupted him sullenly: "My niece and daughter-in-law did all this for the reputation of my Lin family, don't let her instigate you."
"What is the reputation of the Lin family? She is a woman who knows what a reputation is. Clan uncle, I think it's the elders of your Lin family who are urging her to disobey filial piety all day long."
Lin Jinxiao's eyes shone coldly: "My daughter-in-law of the Lin family doesn't need such a righteous and selfless person. She is just an ordinary woman, and she is not an imperial official. The only thing she must remember is to be filial to her parents-in-law and obey her words."
"Master Lin's words are unreasonable."
As soon as Lin Jinxiao finished speaking, there was a commotion in the crowd.
The crowd looked for their reputation, and saw that it was Liu Qingbo from Anlin Village who was leading a lot of villagers walking quickly.
Liu Qingbo came in front of Lin Jinxiao, acting neither humble nor overbearing, and said angrily: "Master Lin, you are the leader of the scholars in our county, now that you are the magistrate of this county, how can you be ignorant of loyalty and traitors, good and evil?
That's right, Mrs. Chu did cut off Lin Jinhong, a wicked person, for our villagers in Anlin Village, but that's all his own fault. As a county parent official, are you going to disregard the interests of the whole county's elders for the sake of so-called filial piety, benevolence and righteousness? Could it be that the elders in the whole county have to let their mother and son oppress them? "
The loud and loud words made the surrounding crowd even more angry, and the wind turned one-sided. Everyone began to sympathize with Chu Nanzhi's experience, and scolded Lin Jinxiao as a "dog official" and "foolish filial piety".
