Chapter 280： Betrayal

Chapter 280 People Betrayed

Third Uncle Lin Yuan faintly sensed something was wrong with Lin Jinxiao. His behavior was too abnormal. It sounded like he was blaming his wife, but after careful taste, he could tell that it was irony.

Moreover, he is trying to induce Chen Shi step by step, probably to make her mother lose face in front of the whole county.

But Chen couldn't figure out Lin Jinxiao's intentions, he lost his mind because of his flattery, pointed at Liu Qingbo, and cursed:

"Liu Lizheng, I think your conscience has been eaten by dogs. You don't appreciate my deceased husband's kindness, and you repeatedly provoke my mother-child relationship with Dalang. It's simply disgusting."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Jinxiao forcefully, and ordered sharply: "Da Lang, I want you to immediately remove Liu Qingbo from his post as a mother, and divorce you, a woman who doesn't obey filial piety."

"What a big tone."

Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an finally couldn't listen anymore. Although they realized that their student intended to kill Chen, they were still a little worried that Chen would end up playing a scoundrel.

Besides, if he doesn't care about his official reputation to boost Chu Nanzhi's reputation, it will inevitably bring him a lot of trouble.

The worry on Chang Yanjue's face was even worse, he faintly sensed that the student cared too much for his wife:

During the trip to Haikang County, he did not hesitate to ask himself to take out the Son of Heaven Sword for the sake of this woman, thus attracting assassins to kill him;

This time it was good, he just mentioned that he wanted to recommend Chu Nanzhi to be an official in the court, so he did not hesitate to belittle his own official reputation to raise his wife's reputation, so as to pave the way for her.

If it goes on like this, it’s okay.

The two walked forward quickly with crutches, and Chang Yanjue pointed at Mrs. Chen angrily, and said loudly: "Miss Chen, you are really good at teaching your son, you sent your own son into a big prison, and you still have the face to intercede for him .”

"What did Mr. Chang say? My son was framed and wronged by the Chu family."

Chen has long been dissatisfied with the two elders, but now that her stepson has become the parent officer of Luyan Port, and he obeys her, she will no longer let the two of them ride on her head and dominate her.

She glared at Chu Nanzhi viciously, and said with a proud smile: "If you say that the root cause of all these disasters must be attributed to the Chu family, if she hadn't been gossiping around, there would be so many things, as long as Da Lang Get rid of this wicked woman, and you will be pure."

"It's just nonsense."

Nie Huai'an, as a villager in Caifeng Township, knows everything about Lin Jinhong very well.

He slammed the crutch in his hand on the ground, and rebuked angrily: "Lin Jinhong has committed a lot of evil. There are all the officials and villagers in Anlin Village. How could the Chu family frame him wrongly? Thanks to what you said, he committed murder in prison. Hurt people is also personally judged by magistrate Hu, why do so many people frame him for no reason?"

"this."

Chen looked at Lin Jinxiao in panic.

Zhu Youan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and glanced at Lin Jinxiao, and said righteously:

"Master Lin, you are pleading for the people in Haikang County, confiscating the wealth of corrupt officials, powerful and evil gentry, fighting against the entire Haikang County officialdom, and helping the victims. The officials admire you very much, but now you want to cover up villains for the sake of filial piety. Hugh, abandoning his wife, disregarding the righteousness of the world, the lower officials do not agree, if you want to go your own way, the lower officials have no choice but to resign and retire. Please choose another wise person for the post of prison manager."

"Master Zhu's words are serious."

As soon as Lin Jinxiao finished speaking, Zhu You'an strongly refuted it: "The evil deeds committed by Lin Jinhong in prison were witnessed by the jailers and criminals with their own eyes. How could this subordinate be able to frame him? My lord can investigate them one by one. Never dare to lie to others.”

"Well, since you are so sure, then summon witnesses."

Lin Jinxiao nodded thoughtfully.

I gained the reputation of being stupid and filial, and Chu Nanzhi won everyone's sympathy. The two mentors have also come forward, and the results I want have been achieved. There is no need to continue to let Chen's domineering.

As for Lin Jinhong's case file, he had already known it since he arrived at the county government office, so he didn't need to investigate further. He thought that this guy would have a heart of repentance after he went to prison, but he didn't expect him to become a bully in the prison.

From this point of view, he can only be punished more severely.

Lin Jinxiao ordered Zhu Youan to summon all the prisoners and jailers beaten by Lin Jinhong, as well as his accomplices. After the interrogation, everything was exactly as Zhu Youan said, and they were all convinced.

Lin Jinxiao turned to Chen Shi again, and said with a smile, "Mother, do you want your son to forgive Erlang?"

Mrs. Chen looked at the angry expressions one by one, and shook her head in fear.

Lin Jinxiao helped Zhu Youan up, and said in a solemn voice: "I was indeed negligent just now. As Erlang's elder brother and the county magistrate of Luyan Port, I will never show favoritism to anyone. If he is so unrepentant, I'm afraid It’s because County Magistrate Hu’s previous sentencing was too easy, and as an elder brother, I can’t let him indulge anymore.”

After finishing speaking, he looked around everyone with deep eyes, and his tone gradually became high-pitched and forceful: "Today, I will extend his sentence to ten years in accordance with the law of Dahe. If he still does not want to repent, he will be exiled outside the Great Wall."

Mr. Chen frowned when she heard this: Isn’t this killing a chicken for monkeys to watch as a warning to others?

And he still took his own son for surgery.

Lin Jinxiao looked at her with a smile: "Mother, Erlang has a perverse personality. It seems that you and I were also deceived by him before. If you are not severely punished, you will be dragged down in the future. My son can no longer ask for an order for you."

"Da Lang is right."

Ms. Chen pursed her lips and nodded heavily. For the sake of her fate, she had to swallow this breath and obey Lin Jinxiao's sentence.

Lin Jinxiao nodded in satisfaction, silently looked at Chu Nanzhi who looked calm, and thinking about what he said just now, he couldn't help feeling sad.

I don't know that she may understand his good intentions.

Seeing that he was staring at Chu Nanzhi, Mrs. Chen couldn't stop feeling angry in her heart. The expression in her big eyes dimmed for a while, and then gradually turned into anger: "Da Lang, the reason why Er Lang has today is that... It was caused by the Chu family, so you quickly write a divorce letter and divorce her, so that she won't provoke our mother-child relationship again."

"you dare."

Chang Yanjue thought of the old man back then, and wanted to tolerate Chen, but she seemed to have touched her bottom line, so she couldn't help scolding in a cold voice:

"Miss Chen, the Chu family has raised children for your Lin family, and understands righteousness. Lin Dalang wanted to abandon his wife after he was poor and then rich. Such an unrighteous act is not what a gentleman would do."

"Why, is it possible that Mr. Chang still wants to meddle in my Lin family's affairs?"

Chen looked at Chang Yanjue angrily.

"Mrs. Chen, Da Lang is a marriage that I bought for five hundred taels of silver back then. The marriage contract is clearly written in black and white. Do you want Da Lang to deny it now that he is rich?"

Liu Yun glared at Chen irrationally.

Chen was so angry that he was speechless, so he could only look at Lin Jinxiao sullenly.

Lin Jinxiao pretended to be helpless and sighed: "Mother has also seen it. Back then you insisted on arranging this marriage for me. Although I have long hated the Chu family, she is my first wife. As an official of the court, I cannot make a decision. In terms of the law, the marriage contract in the hands of the mother-in-law was signed by the mother and her, so I really feel powerless."

After a pause, he smiled slowly and looked at the third uncle Lin Yuan, whose face was cloudy and uncertain: "As for the matter of asking for an imperial order?"

Lin Yuan was completely disappointed with this woman, and immediately took over the words: "She is not worthy of an imperial order, Dalang, don't let this woman manipulate you, let alone do stupid things for the sake of filial piety, her mother and son Several people have been cleared from the clan, and have nothing to do with you and your wife."

"Uncle, I'm my aunt's niece. Even you are cruel to help these outsiders sow discord between me and Dalang?"

Chen's eyes suddenly burst into tears and began to cry.
