Chapter 005jin box
Lin Zimo, who did not go out, will have dinner on time in the evening. After all, all this will be arranged by Yang Mengqi in advance. His wife is still so understanding, but his concubine is still a child who has not yet grown up. The three sat around the dinner table for dinner. Halfway through the meal, a little man came in with something in his hands to inform Lin Zimo. Someone sent him a brocade box, and the man who brought the brocade box didn't say anything. He put down his things and turned away.
Chu Hanlu saw that the brocade box held by the little man in his hands was very beautiful, and it must be filled with good things. Wanting to see the novelty, she couldn't wait to jump off the chair, walked to him and opened the brocade box. Chu Hanlu, who was full of expectation, screamed as soon as he opened the lid of the brocade box. He was so scared that his face was pale. He instinctively stepped back three steps. His eyes were blank and looked straight ahead.
The little man with the box in his hands looked down and trembled with fear. He stammered, "Sir..."
Feeling strange, Lin Zimo and Yang Mengqi coincidentally put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands and got up to check the truth. The couple saw a bloody head in the brocade box. She, who was born with her husband, was not afraid in her heart. She stood aside with no expression on her face and did not talk much. After all, she believed that her husband would definitely have an idea.
Lin Zimo is the head in the box. The deceased was the governmentman who had previously sued himself and committed suicide when he went out. Without careful investigation, he thought it was the little boy who was afraid and chose to break himself. According to this situation, the death of the little man should be homicide. In his own government, there are both walls and ears and people dare to kill people, which is enough to show that Liu Tiger is really lawless and arrogant to the point that it cannot be attached.
Seeing a letter in the brocade box, Lin Zimo reached out and took it out to open it. In the letter, Liu Hu directly expressed the attitude of a big stick and carrot. Lin Zimo, who sneered, threw the letter in his hand into the brocade box, and he still held a 5,000 taels of gold ticket sent by the other party in his hand. I know that this kind of ticket is the kind of ticket that can be exchanged at people's meeting and exchange, and can be exchanged at major banks across the country. Seeing Lin Zimo, who was so generous as Liu Hu's move, it must be that the head in the brocade box should be replaced by him.
Lin Zimo, who held a silver ticket in his right hand, stretched out his left hand to close the lid of the box and ordered, "Don't talk nonsense everywhere and give my mouth tightly to me, or I will let you accompany the head in the box. Go out and give it to Wang Qiang and let him bury it.
The little man who was so scared that he couldn't speak just mechanically nodded his head and hurriedly turned out to find the housekeeper.
Lin Zimo, who smiled strangely, casually handed over 5,000 taels of gold tickets in his hand to Yang Mengqi's hand and said, "Madam, put it away."
Yang Mengqi, who received the silver ticket, remained silent and did not ask more questions. With a sigh, she shook her head, as if she had seen many people's heads about to move. He knew Lin Zimo's character and knew that he would definitely not give up, and Liu Hu's demonstration was completely to dig his own grave.
Lin Zimo turned around and saw that Chu Hanlu was really scared, so Cailian and Caiyue were sent back to her room to rest first, and then ordered Ji Xiaojuan, who stood next to her, and asked Gao Xiang to go with her to find the best Langzhong in Guiping City to diagnose the little girl's pulse. The two maids, who did not dare to talk too much, knew what had just happened, so they helped the second lady left the dining room. Ji Xiaojuan, who did not dare to delay, ran out to find Gao Xiang. She knew that Lin Zimo asked someone to accompany her out for her safety. After making arrangements, he sat down again, picked up the bowl in his left hand, picked up the chopsticks in his right hand, and continued to eat.
Yang Mengqi, who sat next to him, said seriously, "At this time, you still go to your sister's place to rest. Hey... I was really scared to see her. Without a period of cultivation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to normal.
Lin Zimo, who nodded, expressed his agreement with her and reminded him, "At this time, my wife should try not to go out if she can. If you have to go out, take Gao Xiang or Wang Qiang with you.
Yang Mengqi put a piece of braised beef into his bowl and smiled warmly and said, "I will remember my father-in-law's words."
Since Liu Tiger doesn't even care about a magistrate like Lin Zimo, it can be imagined that he is usually domineering and unattended in the local area to an indexable level. Lin Zimo, who paved the way for himself with a knife, has made a decision in his heart to kill him, otherwise he will have no place in Guiping City.
Yang Mengqi made a cup of tea for Lin Zimo, who had eaten, and said brightly, "I don't delay my father-in-law's handling of business, so I'm going to see my sister. It's pitiful to see this bloody scene at a young age. She jumped happily in the ordinary, and she was as silent as a cicada at once, and without her laughter at home, she was really less angry.
Lin Zimo, who knew her intelligence, smiled and said, "My wife will go first, and then I will spend the night with her."
After Yang Mengqi left, Lin Zimo was the only one left in the big room. He was drinking tea while waiting for Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang, who went out to bury his head, came back to find his master with a full of fire. He waited for Lin Zimo's order and would not hesitate to lead Liu Hu's family to hell.
Seeing Lin Zimo, who saw Wang Qiang come to his side, he ordered, "All the men who handed tea and water at the government office were replaced by people in my house. Around my office, you should be alert and don't let more ears hear what you shouldn't hear.
"Is it possible that this matter is over?" Wang Qiang, who was unconvinced, had a burst of murderous intent in his heart and said more.
Lin Zimo picked up the tea, took two sips leisurely, and said slowly, "Do what I said first."
Wang Qiang, who took his life, turned around and left the dining room to arrange. Lin Zimo's heart was very clear that he couldn't faint his anger for a moment. He will never take action until he figure out Liu Hu's *. Either you don't take action, or you will kill all and won't give the other party a chance to turn over. He didn't want to kill the tiger, but was injured by the tiger.
Although Zhao Wenxuan has thousands of horses in his hands, he has to guard all sides of Guiping City. Lin Zimo, who has always felt that he is overstretched, is not afraid of 10,000, just in case. After all, the appearance of the rebels is some magic. For the time being, I still don't want my adoptive brother to mobilize a large number of people to deal with Liu Tiger. The only subordinates he trusted and had combat effectiveness were the Wolf Tooth Guard.
There are only six people in total. Lin Zimo asked them to assassinate Liu Tiger without any problem. However, I don't want to report my personal resentment, but to completely get rid of this evil for the people of Guiping City. Sitting alone in the chair, he continued to think about how to better cut off Liu Tiger.
I don't know how many times later, Ji Xiaojuan came in and reported: "Sir, Lang Zhong has diagnosed the second lady's pulse. He said that the second lady didn't suffer much, but was overly frightened and gave a way to calm her mind.
Lin Zimo came back to his mind and knew that all this was expected and said, "You don't need to serve here. You go down and have a rest first."
Ji Xiaojuan, who did not move her steps, rarely had the opportunity to be alone with him and didn't want to leave, saying, "It's my job to serve the master. Forgive me for saying more. The master seems to be sad about tonight.
Lin Zimo knows that her brain is good, but there is still a big gap compared with Yang Mengqi. Her wife didn't say much, but this little girl didn't have to break it. He was not angry with Ji Xiaojuan's cleverness, but felt that she still needed to practice. After all, even if she knew something, she had better pretended not to know.
Lin Zimo, with his head down, asked with a smile, "What if this happened to you Yao people?"
Ji Xiaojuan said truthfully: "This person sent a head, which is obviously a provocation and insult to the master. When we Yao people encounter this kind of thing, we will either make a duel, die, or go to the door and fight for you to die.
"Your words are not unreasonable. Men always have to have some blood, but impulses can turn into bad things. Lin Zimo, who has important responsibilities and missions on his shoulders, is the first priority to guard Guiping City and protect the safety of Xunzhou Prefecture. Naturally, he will not go to Liu Tiger to fight fiercely for his own personal grievances.
"Although I don't know much about it, I believe that the master is not a cowardly and timid man." Ji Xiaojuan is very positive.
Lin Zimo, who asked her to sit down, suddenly asked curiously, "Why do you have to stay with me and not go back?"
His question made Ji Xiaojuan embarrassed. She blushed and didn't know how to answer. I couldn't say what I liked him, so I kept silent and kept thinking about how to answer.
"Although I brought you back from the brothel, you were deceived by the abduct. You are different from Caiyue. You are free, not a slave in my house. After a long time, your family will still worry about you. Lin Zimo kindly reminded, "Don't you want to reunite with your relatives at all?"
Ji Xiaojuan said with a little dissatisfaction, "They won't worry about me. They often say that I'm losing money. In their eyes, there is only my brother, and there is no me in the first place.
Lin Zimo, who heard the meaning of the words, knew that she was extremely dissatisfied with son preference and neglect by her family. Since she doesn't want to leave, she can't drive her away. Ji Xiaojuan's thoughtfulness and consideration for herself is only second to Yang Mengqi, far better than Chu Hanlu.
