In the past two years, the thing that made Linjiacun the most happy was Lin Mingqing, the youngest son of the Lizheng family!
Lin Mingqing raised people in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and the people of Linjia Village, who had lived a life of misery for two years, finally raised their eyebrows once.
Why?
This is to say that two years ago, some people in Linjia Village, because of their interests and for some money, under the instigation of people with a heart, even went to the capital with Lin Laosan's family to sue the princess who had become the princess of Guguo. Lin Yuelan is gone.
As a result, they failed to sue, but were punished by divine retribution. A thunderstorm came down, and the family of Lin Laosan was turned into coke and died. The other Lin family villagers, who were not killed by lightning, were punished by an imperial decree from today's sage. The crimes of slandering and slandering the princess of Guguo and violating the royal majesty were all punished by beheading.
At the beginning, there were more than 30 people including Lin Laosan's family and other people in Linjia Village, all of whom had gone and never returned.
But the most embarrassing thing is that those relatives, even their corpses, could not be transported back.
Because there is no money!
After they were beheaded, they were thrown into the mass graves specially designed for burial by people from the capital punishment department.
However, I heard that the people who sued Lin Yuelan in the capital were not beheaded, but were locked in a cell and then killed.
As soon as this happened, it immediately provoked ridicule and ridicule from other villagers!
Linjia Village, for the eight villages in the surrounding area, can be described as a big village.
Moreover, this village has some reputation and is envied by other villagers.
Because this village has not only produced a few talented people, but also juren.
It can be said that it shines on the entire Linjia Village.
It's just that perhaps because of these honors, Linjia Village is too arrogant, and some people are more selfish and greedy.
Even though Lin's village is good, it can't stand the greed and selfishness of people's hearts.
No, without Li Zheng's knowledge, someone was encouraged to go to the capital to sue Lin Yuelan.
It's just that no one thought that everyone would lose their lives.
Even if Li was about to rush to the capital to save people, it was too late.
Moreover, because Lin Yuelan looked at Li Zheng's face, she had let those people go again and again.
But these people are good, they have no ability, but they are jealous of others who have the ability.
No, this jealousy, coupled with greed, will eventually harm himself.
But after this incident spread from the capital to various villages, Linjia Village really became the laughing stock of other villages.
These people in Xiaolin Village really don't know what to do.
It was not easy for Linjiacun to come out with a princess. If she didn't flatter her, she still wanted to harm her.
Can they, ordinary people, fight a princess?
Not to mention the fight, and even lost his life to the fight.
Although Linjia Village is a large village, its population is not very large. Overall, there are only three or four hundred people, and all of a sudden, dozens of people are lost. It is extremely shameless, and with the charges imposed by the emperor, all of a sudden, Linjia Village has become a village of crime.
In the past two years, all the people from Linjia Village, when they go to the market or go outside, have been pointed at them and shunned, and even the town is reluctant to sell them anything.
Because everyone in Anding County knew that Linjia Village had offended Princess Gu, not to mention the sage.
No one in the world knows that Lin Yuelan, the princess of Gu Kingdom, has been accepted as a righteous daughter by the sage.
Offending the emperor's righteous daughter, isn't that offending the emperor?
Therefore, in the past two years, the villagers of Linjia Village have had a very difficult life, so that they have to hide their faces when they see outsiders.
However, after Lin Yuelan came back, Li Zhenglin also led all the men and women of Linjia Village, young and old, from the 80-year-old to the babies who were waiting to be fed.
Li Zheng's kindness to Lin Yuelan, after begging again and again, has been worn out.
Therefore, when Li Zheng brought everyone in the village to apologize, Lin Yuelan accepted it without any guilt.
She also warned everyone in Linjia Village that this was the last time she looked at the inside, and that she would not be held accountable for the people of Linjia Village.
However, all the family members who participated in the complaint had to take a detour when they saw her, and those people could not participate in reading and writing, and could not use the method of planting crops promulgated by the imperial court.
This is the side that prevents these people from having the opportunity to take the exam, and at the same time, it also prevents them from getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.
Therefore, the days of others may get better, and they will only get worse!
As soon as this condition came out, it was of course opposed by some people. Of course, these people were actually those family members.
Lin Yuelan looked at them with a sneer and said, "I have an opinion. Then, this princess will directly take all of you to prison on the charge of participating in slander and slander this princess, and then beheaded to show the public, see if you have any opinions!"
She wouldn't be so kind. If they have opinions, just let them go.
So, those who have opinions, shut up now!
Do they know that Lin Yuelan has great power now.
If they were to be decapitated, they might not even have a chance to appeal.
After Lin Yuelan accepted the apology from the whole village, she said directly, "Uncle Lizheng, for your sake, this princess will let them go for the last time. If it happens again, this princess will not directly behead the culprit, but The whole family has been linked!"
Hearing the words "connecting the whole family" in Lin Yuelan's mouth, all of them turned pale with fright, and those who were even more frightened were trembling all over.
Because, they never thought that the crime of beheading the entire clan would fall on them one day.
In their cognition, they are just a farmer, an ordinary citizen.
Lin Yuelan continued, "Now my identity is the princess of the Longyan Kingdom, and to insult, slander, slander, frame up, etc., this princess is a provocation and contempt for the dynasty and His Majesty's authority. Not too much!"
Although she doesn't like the title of "Princess of Guguo" that has been added to her body, but since it has been sealed, she will definitely make good use of it.
You have the right to not use it, it will be obsolete at that time!
This is the most common sentence in modern officialdom, and it is the most suitable for her now.
Since Lin Yuelan had already stated the conditions, she also let them go. After that, the people of Lin Family Village went back.
Everyone was terrified.
Especially those who go to the capital, but have no return.
At this moment, they can't have any resistance!
They don't want to be implicated by the dead ghost anymore, they still need to live!
After Lin Yiwei and the others returned from Lin Yuelan, they immediately held a village-wide meeting, and in front of the whole village, they stepped down from the position of Lizheng.
Because he found out that he was protecting them, and that Lin Yuelan was indebted to them. These obsessed people thought about relying on him to sin against Lin Yuelan again and again.
This time, it was even more extreme. Without telling him, he was in trouble with the third Lin family. Shangjing sued Lin Yuelan on charges of "disrespectful, unfilial, disloyal and unrighteous". Such an act made people angry.
This is no small matter.
The one to sue is the royal princess!
If His Majesty investigates this matter, Lin Family Village may be destroyed.
Because the whole village was brought up by relatives, and no one could escape.
He believed that if it wasn't for the fact that his Li Zhengyi family had great affection for Lin Yuelan, Lin Yuelan would never have been able to show mercy.
Lin Yiwei said to the people of the village, "The princess has already looked at me, and for your mistakes, under my plea, I have forgiven them again and again. However, after this incident, I have no face to bear. This is correct. Because,"
Speaking of this, he paused, and said with a stern expression, "Because I am here, you make mistakes time and time again, and you are lucky! This time, Lin Changzhi, Gu Sanniang, etc. are a profound lesson. Do they think that an ant like them can move an elephant? Who gave them the courage and such confidence! I don't know what it is!"
"For the occurrence of such a tragic incident, I am to blame. Therefore, in order to prevent such an unknown incident from happening again, I will not take this position today. Not only me, but also my descendants, Lin Yiwei. I won't take over a position like this again!"
That day, Lin Yiwei's resignation was like a bolt from the blue.
As Li Zheng said, some people in Linjia Village had done excessive behavior to Lin Yuelan again and again, all of which were just verbal warnings.
The main reason for this is that Youli Zheng has the cheek to plead for Lin Yuelan again and again.
But now, Lin Yiwei is not right, not to mention making mistakes and so on, and even the benefits of Taoyuan Village can't be touched at all.
Then they can only watch other villages get richer and richer, but when they leave the princess's Lin family village, they get worse and worse.
In fact, some people in the Lin Village now secretly regret that they treated Lin Yuelan that way.
But there is no regret medicine in the world.
"Lizheng, you... you can't leave us villagers alone?" Someone responded quickly.
Lin Yiwei looked at Lin Chong, who was talking, and snorted coldly, "Hey, Lin Chong, don't think I don't know, what are your plans. Before Lin Changzhi and the others went to the capital to sue the princess, you clearly knew, why didn't you? Come talk to me?"
"I...I..." Lin Chong asked in a cold and stern voice, unable to answer at all.
In fact, he also wanted to go to the capital that time. After all, if he went to the capital, not only would he have money, but he might actually pull Lin Yuelan down. At that time, he might also be able to get a share of Lin Yuelan's huge wealth. .
However, after his mother found out about the news, she forced him to death and forbid him to go to the capital with him.
Her mother said earnestly, "Chong'er, don't you understand? We can't fight against Lin Yuelan at all. Going to the capital is tantamount to seeking death! So, if your mother is dead, she will stop you! Save your life! "
He is very fortunate now that his mother stopped him.
Otherwise, he may not be able to go home and be thrown into a mass grave in a foreign land, and he will also have a share of his land.
However, although he was stopped by his mother, he did not report it to Li Zheng.
They still have an expectation in their hearts, that is, the third Lin and his gang can really sue Lin Yuelan, and then he can also get a share of the pie.
However, it's really not as good as God!
No one would have thought that it was just a thunderbolt that completely drove these people into the eighteenth **** and never came back.
Lin Chong felt both fear and happiness in his heart.
However, people say that after the autumn, the accounts are settled, just like this!
After being settled by Lin Yiwei, Lin Chong's face was also very bad, but he couldn't refuse Li Zheng's question.
He smiled stiffly and said, "That... that, Li Zheng, I... I don't know if they went to the capital to sue Lin... Princess Gu."
Of course Lin Yiwei didn't believe what he said. With a dark face, he asked sharply, "Then you always know about their going to the capital, right? Then why don't you come and tell me?"
Lin Chong's expression was a little uncontrollable.
He said aggrievedly, "I thought they went to the capital just because of personal matters, so I didn't tell you!"
Lin Yiwei sneered and said, "Hehe, private matter? Is there any important private matter that needs to go to the capital? And with their conditions, do you think you can go to the capital? Lin Laosan's family and Gu Sanniang's mother and daughter also Forget it, after all, they have left Linjia Village, whether they are good or bad, we can't control.
But what about Lin Changzhi and others, they are from my Lin family village. They didn't report to me about such a big event in Shangjing, and they didn't see me as Lizheng at all, and Lin Chong, who didn't know the information, didn't see it either. I am right here.
Since everyone doesn't take me seriously, it doesn't make any sense for me to be right. Then I won't be this lizheng, and be an honest farmer, how wonderful! "
As soon as Lin Yiwei spoke, many people were full of shame.
In the past, they were dissatisfied with Lin Yiwei's Li Zheng, because Li Zheng was too partial to Lin Yuelan in the past.
Obviously, with his status, he can take away the wealth and land in Lin Yuelan's hands, and then distribute it to everyone. Considering the huge wealth in Lin Yuelan's hands, each family in Linjia Village can get at least ten or twenty acres of land, thousands of taels. Silver, such a huge fortune, can make them live a good life for several lifetimes.
But Lin Yiwei just refused to do it.
But now they look back and think about how correct Li Zheng's decision was.
Fortunately, they didn't rob Lin Yuelan's property, otherwise, Lin Yuelan jumped up and became a princess with huge power, and if they took back these properties, it would be easy to say, and there might be a strong revenge against the whole village. , It's hard to say whether they can keep Lin Village, and whether they can survive.
Now they have offended the princess, except for a few who committed suicide, most of them are still alive and safe, and a lot of credit goes to Lizheng.
"No. Lizheng, if you are not Lizheng, who will be?" Many people strongly objected, "Let's do it. In the future, we will all listen to Lizheng, okay?"
Someone responded quickly and nodded, "Yes, yes, we will listen to you in the future, don't be angry anymore, okay?"
"Lizheng, you can't remove the position of Lizheng. Now Linjia Village, it's all up to you!"
…
All the villagers in Linjia Village are yours, and I agree that Lin Yiwei should be their leader.
However, at this time, Li Zheng had already given up.
He waved his hand and said, "My family and I are not righteous anymore, you can choose another one! I, although I didn't make much contribution to Linjia Village, I think I am worthy of my conscience. However, I'm tired now and don't want to worry about these things anymore."
"Bright, I'm tired, you help me go back!" Lin Yiwei didn't want to argue with them anymore, so he just said to leave.
This made the villagers of Linjia Village very uneasy and frightened.
"Lizheng..." They shouted from behind, trying to make Lizheng stop.
"Lizheng, you can't leave us alone?" someone said.
They always knew that Lin Yuelan actually wanted the Lizheng family to live in Taoyuan Village.
It was only the first two years that Lizheng refused, and he still served as their Lizheng as always.
But now, there is a big incident in Linjia Village, Lin Yiwei doesn't want to be the official, and wants to move to Taoyuan Village, he doesn't want to care whether Linjia Village is dead or alive, how can it be done?
Hearing this, Li Zheng's staggering footsteps stopped, and he turned back, "Don't worry. I'm just not Li Zheng, I'm still a villager of Linjia Village! This time, the princess looked at me on the thin side and spared the whole family. Linjia Village. But, there is no next time, you can do it yourself!"
These words show that their family will not move into the neighboring Taoyuan Village.
After Li Zheng finished saying this, he turned and left.
Human nature is greedy. I hope that the people of Linjia Village will have a profound lesson and stop making trouble.
Otherwise, the Emperor and Laozi would not be able to save them.
Everyone saw that Lin Yi was determined to leave, and his face was full of sadness and grief.
After passing the lesson that so many people in Linjia Village will never return, everyone has developed deep awe and fear for Lin Yuelan, and they no longer dare to covet the wealth in her hands.
They only have to be honest and do their part in Linjia Village.
Otherwise, whoever has no brains to anger Lin Yuelan, the princess of the Guguo country, will wait for the extermination of the family!
After Lin Yuelan heard about this, she just smiled.
When Lin Yi was not righteous and let go of Lin Jiacun, he was really relieved.
Because, as long as Lin Yiwei is still in charge of the Lin family village, she always feels a little timid when she wants to deal with the Lin family village.
After all, she said that if she didn't look at Lin Yi's face, she really didn't look at his face, and then she would become an ungrateful person instead.
She, Lin Yuelan can't do it!
Therefore, it is enough to give a lesson and a warning to those who committed crimes in Linjia Village.
But if she really provokes her, then it's easy to control their life and death, isn't it?
Just like the people who made trouble into the capital last time, none of them stayed, all of them died!
Since Lin Yiwei's family was not a member of the family, the life of the villagers in Linjia Village has really gotten worse.
They can now be said to be living in fear.
The lessons of those who died were like a sharp knife hanging over their heads.
They only live their lives peacefully and humiliatingly.
