Chapter 103 Declaration of War
Li Xian, who returned to the house, was unhappy, so he vented all his anger on his subordinates. When he saw Wang Qiang sending something to himself, although he did not attack face to face, he was already angry. After Wang Qiang left, Li Xian knew that Lin Zimo's attitude was very determined to have at least half of his own. He suddenly had a feeling that the mantis caught the cicada and the yellow finch.
Li Xian didn't think that since he could not bribe and bribe Lin Zimo, he would use this money to buy through the other party's boss. However, I feel that this method is really not workable. After all, he is Han Yong's proud disciple. Although he didn't mention Han Yong in his words, Li Xian always felt something strange. Even if Li Yu, who wrote a letter to the capital, may not be able to get an immediate solution. After all, Li Xian deeply understands the truth that county officials are not as good as the current management.
Li Bingzhong, who learned that his father was unhappy, came in from the outside and asked with concern, "Dad, why are you worried?"
Li Xian, who raised his head, saw his son, so he did not hide anything and said his own opinion: "This time, I'm not comprehensive enough for my father. I'm afraid he has offended Lin Zimo, the magistrate. It seems that we should not touch the military food matter, and the result of the collision led him to reverse the case for the Xu family. This reversal is fake. I'm afraid it's true to make more money.
Li Bingzhong, who was not very clear about the inside story, knew that he had a foundation. He sat down and said bluntly, "People all over the world like silver. Since Lin Zimo asked for money, then Dad gave it to him. As long as our family can continue to dominate this side, are we afraid that there is no money? You always want to drive a little. After all, you are left with green mountains, and you are not afraid of firewood.
"What you said is not unreasonable." Li Xian, who didn't jump up and scold him as a prodigal son, stroked his white beard and said, "As a father, I just can't see that his price is too high, but I feel a little helpless. After all, his teacher Han Yong is the governor of Guangxi. Although our family does not have a fatal handle in his hand, the affairs of the Xu family cannot continue endlessly.
Li Bingzhong, who crossed his legs, further persuaded his father, "Since you always know it, it's early." If you have to turn it down with Lin Zi, it may not be a losing situation. If our family loses its vitality and loses the strength to control Guiping County, I'm afraid that other big families in the city will be restless. Instead of getting rid of the hen with raw eggs, it's better to give him all the eggs directly. As long as it takes a little time, we can get back the lost money.
Li Xian, who stood up, walked back and forth in the middle of the room. After his careful consideration, he agreed with Li Bingzhong's words. On the surface, he lost half of his family, but in fact, he and Lin Zimo have been tied together. Li Xian recalled that he said that he would hand over the acquisition of military grain to himself. As for the lost silver, you can still make up for it, and you can slowly get back the missing part. For him, it's just a matter of time.
When Li Bingzhong saw that his problem had been solved, he smiled and said, "It's getting late. Our father and son should go to the secret room to have fun. I'm afraid that those little women can't wait.
Li Xian, who heard this, soon showed a **-swang look and echoed, "Let's go now."
The father and son stood up and went to the study with laughter. At the same time, Lin Zimo, who did not know what the other party thought, knew that the result of his doing was to directly "declare war" Li Xian. Sitting on the chair, he looked calm, but his mind was thinking about it. Lin Zimo knew about Xu Zhiyuan. Even if he could keep people under the knife, there would be no final result for a while. He knows that there are many dreams at night, so he doesn't want to leave Li Xian enough time to do activities. Once you are dismissed or transferred, the whole plan will be abandoned.
Lin Zimo wanted to seal the throat of the Li family with a sword, so he had to take a man from the people and get it. Otherwise, the more the matter dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be to him. After all, his purchase of military food for the court was fake. If Li Xian, who grasps this point, makes a big deal, he will be quite troublesome. He understood that there was no turning back, so he had to work hard and strive for the direction of the whole thing to be within his control.
Lin Zimo, who was full of thoughts, couldn't sleep at all, so he walked alone in the garden. I deeply felt the pain of being an official, so I sighed a little. In the eyes of the common people, some of them are not only majestic, but also omnipotent. Lin Zimo, who knows the facts, understands that there will be no perfect good things in the world. At this moment, he clearly felt that it was better to be an official than a citizen. At least, you don't have to calculate and plan all day long.
Yang Mengqi woke up in the middle of the night and found that there was no one around him, so he expected that his husband had encountered a difficult situation. The season has entered autumn and the weather has turned cold. She turned over and got up, got dressed, took a coat of his coat, and went out to the north room to look for it. Yang Mengqi, who knew his father-in-law's living habits, walked directly into the garden and saw Lin Zimo walking alone in the moonlight. Although she doesn't know what he is thinking, taking good care of him is what a wife should do.
Lin Zimo, who suddenly turned around, saw Yang Mengqi and said, "What are you doing here? Is it possible that you also have insomnia?"
Facing him, Yang Mengqi walked past and smiled and said, "Yes, the slave family really can't sleep, so I came out to have a look."
Lin Zimo, who noticed the clothes in his wife's hand, suddenly reacted. I knew that Yang Mengqi sent him clothes. If Chu Hanlu had done the same thing, he wouldn't have thought of it as this. He felt that this arranged marriage was not necessarily a tragedy. At least, I and Yang Mengqi are a comedy.
Lin Zimo, who took over, did not wear it, but put it on Yang Mengqi and did not allow her to pull it down and said, "Madam, your body has always been thin, be careful not to catch a cold. My husband is thick-skinned and thick-skinned, so he won't catch a cold.
Yang Mengqi had to follow what he said, put his hands around his father-in-law's waist, and then snuggled in his arms. She wants to be gentle, but to give him warmth. After all, it would be better. Without refusing, he responded to her tenderness in the same way and felt the heat transmitted by her body. The couple, who didn't communicate too much, raised their heads and looked at the moon very tacitly. The moonlight shone their shadows on the ground, just like a man.
A cup of tea passed by, and Yang Mengqi couldn't help saying quite euphemistically, "Fang, do you really want to fight with Li Xian?"
Lin Zimo did not blame her for interfering in her affairs, but did not hide: "I gave him all the war letters. Even if you regret it, it's too late. The Li family is looking forward to being here, which is not a blessing for the people of Li. If it takes a long time, you don't have to act according to his face for your husband. Since this will happen sooner or later, it's better to see it as soon as possible.
Yang Mengqi smiled and said, "Your father, it seems that Li Xian forced you to fight. As far as the slave family knows, you forced him into the corner. He is trying his best to get together with you.
"The father and son have done so many unscrupulous things in secret. If God doesn't accept them, I will have to work for them. Lin Zimo, who didn't smile, said seriously, "A hypocrite is more hateful than a real villain."
Yang Mengqi, who put away his smile, fully supported it and kindly reminded: "The slave family fully agrees with the practice of the public. However, you must be careful and be careful of being bitten by them.
Lin Zimo, who nodded, knew in his heart that Li Xian was no better than Liu Hu, a reckless man. In his opinion, he is an old fox. However, no matter how cunning the fox is, it can't beat a good hunter. At present, Lin Zimo's most long-awaited thing is to get the news from Jia San. As long as you can catch one of them in Li's house, all the problems can be solved easily.
The couple were tired of standing, turned around and walked into the pavilion to sit down and rest. Sitting on the marble stool, your Lin Zimo sits in Yang Mengqi's arms. If it is not Liu Xiahui, he can still sit still. After all, the relationship between the two has developed steadily with the feeling of touching his left hand and right hand.
Yang Mengqi, who leaned against his head, seemed to casually talk about the housework: "After Cai Xing came back, he has been doing rough work. Her hands can pop up a good pipa. The slave family didn't want to see her talent buried, so they asked her father-in-law to find several good masters to teach her day and night. I believe that in a little more time, she will definitely become a great skill in this aspect.
Knowing that she was pouting for the stars, Lin Zimo pushed the boat and said, "If you think it's appropriate, just let it go. If anyone in the house dares to chew the root of his tongue, you can let him suffer some pain so that he can remember well.
Yang Mengqi, who is not soft-hearted, has never hesitated when he needs to show his master's majesty. Her maid Cai Yue saw this, so she didn't dare to bully her master at all.
"The eldest brother of Chu came to beg me again." Yang Mengqi shook his head and sighed, "He is really a restless person."
"Don't worry about him. It seems that his prisoner in Pingnan County is tired of being dry. He must be begging his wife to say good words for him, and then let his husband arrange for him to be like Chu Erlang. Lin Zimo, who smiled, said bluntly, "This Chu Dalang is looking at a mountain, but he is disappointing."
