Chapter 018 Gifts

Lin Zimo, who walked into the office, began to think about business that needed to be handled quickly and slowly before his buttocks were hot. And before the person arrived, Li Renjie, who had arrived first, came in with a spring breeze. Lin Zimo saw his arrival and immediately got up to greet him. After all, his official rank was above himself. I know that feudal society pays great attention to this relationship between superior and inferiority.

"How does your girl taste?" Li Renjie sat down unconcededly, touched his beard, and smiled, "The little girl I took back is really good. She took a soft bite and thought twice. Last night, hehe... I really had a very wonderful night."

Lin Zimo scolded an 'old bastard' in his heart, but with a smile on his face that he should have, he simply said, "It's okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, he interrupted the topic they were talking about and ordered a servant outside the door to serve tea.

Li Renjie picked up the tea, took a sip, put it down slowly, turned his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Master Lin is so blessed to marry a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine."

Lin Zimo, who had just picked up the tea and took a sip of it, suddenly became defensive and did not answer directly, but wanted to hear how he said it? He thought to himself that if this old man really dared to attack them, he would never give up.

Li Renjie, who kept a smile, changed his words and hinted, "Your Excellency has admired your concubine for a long time."

Lin Zimo, who understood, knew that this old turtle came to pull the skin for Zhang Chi's bastard. Looking back, he said the true meaning of 'the county doesn't like country maids' at that time. It seems that the two of them have set up a game for a long time to let themselves jump inside. Although the concubine is a gift that men can give to each other in this era, Lin Zi can't accept it.

Lin Zimo's heart has long had a murderous heart, but his face was smiling and said, "Rumors in the world, you can't take it seriously. My concubine is still a child who hasn't grown up, and she only knows how to fool around all day.

Li Renjie thought he could successfully complete what Zhang Chi told him. After all, it was normal for his subordinates to give his boss a pretentious woman. However, he never expected Lin Zimo to react like this, and he touched a soft nail. Li Renjie, who touched the sheep's beard, can't say this kind of thing clearly. He knows that it's not good to hear it. After all, his reputation as an official is still very important, and this kind of thing belongs to a kind of unspoken rule taught by both sides, and they know each other well.

Li Renjie thought about it. Maybe he didn't speak clearly enough, but Lin Zimo didn't understand his true intention, so he further said, "You are really too modest, but I don't know if you can fulfill the wish of the county lord?"

If Lin Zimo hadn't had a 40-year-old heart, he would have jumped up and scolded them for a combination of a bastard and an egg. Under pressure of anger, he weighed the pros and cons and decided that he could delay and could not turn against the two for the time being. I want to settle accounts after the autumn when the time is ripe.

"Your Excellency, let's drink tea." Lin Zimo politely refused his request.

Li Renjie saw that he was so ignorant and not in the mood to drink tea, so he got up and walked away. Lin Zimo, who was silent for a moment, expressed his extreme dissatisfaction by rubring the two cups of tea on the case with his hand.

Wang Pengfei, who had just stepped into the door with one foot, heard the sound of porcelain smashing on the ground and said, "Lin Xiandi, why is this?"

Lin Zimo saw his arrival, got up to meet him, and said with a fierce face, "Li Renjie, an old turtle, pulled up a leather strip to be the matchmaker for Zhang Chi's turtle egg. They actually want to hit my Hanlu's idea. If they really make me anxious, a fish will die and the net will be broken. Since they don't want me to get better, they don't want to get better.

Wang Pengfei turned around and went out to look. He didn't find anyone, and then came in again. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Don't be excited. Don't be impulsive."

Lin Zimo, who was expressionless, realized his own words. If the two minions heard it, I'm afraid it would be very unfavorable to him. I have died once and cherish the opportunity to be reborn. However, in order to protect his family, why not die again? If he really wants to meet Chu Hanlu with his hands, he would rather die than live such a coward.

Lin Zimo touched his forehead and sat down again and said, "Brother Wang, please sit down. What's the matter?"

Wang Pengfei sat down without speaking politely, and the voice of mosquitoes and flies said, "I reminded my brother earlier not to be too close to them. The two of them are cannibals without spitting bones. Nowadays, the prisons in Pingnan County are almost full of the people they have captured. Well, if the people are really rich, I'm afraid they will never make trouble. There is no way to resist their clever purposeful tax.

"Brother Wang, it's useless for you to tell me this. I'm afraid that I'm a mud bodhisattva crossing the river now, and I can't protect myself. Lin Zimo said without regretting what he had done: "In the capacity of you and me, I can't move them at all. Even if the documents that report the two have arrived in the house, it is said that it is not necessarily just a chance for others to get rich.

Wang Pengfei knows that what he said is true. At least he has been living in this public gate for decades, and the inside story of the government is well known. Although he doesn't do anything harmful to nature, he still did it by collecting a little money. It's not that he doesn't know how to solve Lin Zimo's troubles, but he doesn't dare to say. After all, he is a person who leads his family, and he really doesn't have to take risks. Sitting next to him, he felt that he owed Lin Zi a favor to save his son silently. He was in a dilemma and would never make a decision.

Lin Zimo, who didn't want to work, smiled bitterly, "Brother Wang, if you don't have anything else to do, I won't accompany you."

Wang Pengfei can only comfort him: "Brother, don't worry, things should not have reached that point. At least you are also an official appointed by the imperial court. Even if they want to calculate you, they have to find a convincing reason.

Lin Zi, who did not continue to talk, thought to himself that the 2,000 taels of silver hidden in his cellar were enough for them to bury themselves. Instead of sitting here waiting for death, I might as well go home to arrange something.

Lin Zimo said goodbye to Wang Pengfei, strode away from the government and ran straight home. Walking on the road, he understood a little bit of the sinisterness of officialdom. I seem to feel that the way of doing business in the future may not work here. At this time, Lin Zimo suddenly realized a truth that he didn't count others, and I was afraid that others would count himself.

In a hurry, he walked through the streets and alleys, quickly returned to his home, and called Yang Mengqi to Beifang as if arranging an afterth.

Lin Zi, with a solemn face, said silently, "Although we haven't been together for a long time and have nothing, you and Hanlu are my closest people here. If anything happens to me, don't come to rescue me. You must fly far away. You took Hanlu to your county to join your father. As for the belongings at home, you can take as much as you can.

Yang Mengqi was confused and vaguely felt something. He smiled meticulously and said, "Since I have married into your Lin family, I was born and died as a ghost of the Lin family. Regarding Hanlu, I will ask his family to pick her up. No matter what happens, the slave family will be with her husband.

"stupid, you are really confused." Lin Zimo turned around anxiously and said, "The more you stay here, I'm afraid the more they want to force you to commit. Their interest is not me, but..."

Lin Zimo didn't finish his words, and suddenly became soft and said, "Listen to me, the farther you are from me, the safer I am. If you stay here and don't leave, I'm afraid my life will really die."

Yang Mengqi's tears involuntarily fell out of his eyes. Although she didn't know what had happened, she understood that Lin Zimo was for them, regardless of herself.

"I'm not dead yet. I just planned for the worst." Lin Zimo said with a forced smile, "Your departure is to ensure that I can live safely. When this matter is over, I will come to your county to pick you up.

Yang Mengqi couldn't help jumping into his arms and crying.

Lin Zimo stroked her soft hair and comforted her, "Ha ha... I may be too pessimistic. If you stay with me, I will be distracted. By the way, you take that little girl away. Well... I will ask the brothers of the Chu family to escort you on the road. At that time, I will tell them that I will send you back to your mother's house to visit your sick father. Hanlu, as long as you say it's fun and delicious, I'm sure she will go on the road with you. This girl is ignorant and has to rely on fraud.

Yang Mengqi felt more and more as if the sky was about to collapse, and the sound of crying became more and more heartbreaking.

"Clean up quickly. I'll take a look at the girl Hanlu. Lin Zimo told him.

Yang Mengqi, who held him tightly with both hands, was unwilling to let go. He was afraid that after letting go this time, he would never be able to hold him again, and an idea of preparing to die was born in his heart. Lin Zimo, who couldn't get out, had to hold her in his arms. His eyes were godless and he smiled. He was very gratified and felt that he had not come here for nothing. The two hugged each other silently. They didn't know how many hours had passed. The only thing they noticed was that the sky was slowly fading.

"Master, Mr. Wang wants to see you." Cailian suddenly broke in and shouted.

This sudden incident made Lin Zimo and Yang Mengqi quite tacitly let go at the same time. She was hot on both sides and kept fiddling with her hair with her hands, and he coughed gently twice to hide his embarrassment.

"I know." Lin Zimo said with a serious look, "You go out first. I'll come in a minute."

"I think Master Wang is extremely anxious and keeps urging me to ask you out quickly." Picking lotus is the truth.

Yang Mengqi, who raised his head, felt that Lin Zimo was going to have a disaster, otherwise his father-in-law would not have said those words to her. Her face suddenly changed from red to white, and her heart watched him go out like an ice cellar.
