Listen to my heart in the morning and eat melons in the afternoon.

Chapter 7: The melon from my mother's house is a little hot

Just now, the matter of Tian Xiwu had just been resolved, and when Lin Yunzhi was having dinner, this big news came to his head.

When Tian Xiwu learned that Hong Ruoying had married to Jinchuan, he felt relieved.

Lin Yunzhi was so happy that he found the old sow cute.

He asked the kitchen to prepare a large feast to celebrate Tian Xiwu's successful escape from the Hong family's female demon.

Afterwards, Lin Yunzhi told Yun Bo to take the servants to have a sumptuous dinner in the kitchen, and there would be no need for anyone to serve them tonight.

As she was eating, Tian Xiaoxiao felt bored.

[Qingchen, is there any melon to eat? ]

The Tian family was used to it, and Lin Yunzhi finally understood that the "melon" that Tian Xiaoxiao was talking about was the gossip of other people's families, not watermelon, winter melon, pumpkin or northern melon.

[Yes, about your mother, do you want to hear it? ]

[My mother's again? Isn't my mother pregnant? What else? 】

[Actually, I am just related to your mother. ]

【you say. 】

[Your mother's cousin picked up five ingots of gold totaling fifty taels.]

[Wow, my cousin has become rich.] Tian Xiaoxiao's voice makes everyone feel her envy from the bottom of her heart.

[Wrong, it’s not about getting rich, it’s about dying. ]

[Ah? Picking up money can also cost you your life? ]

[Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid? You have been here for so long and you still don’t understand the system of this country? ]

[I don’t know! I’m only three years old, and my father and mother wouldn’t tell me these things. It’s not against the law to pick up money where we are. Oh, no, it’s against the law to pick up valuables and not return them, but it’s not a life-threatening thing.]

The Tian family members were still wondering, isn’t the “our place” that Tian Xiaoxiao mentioned the same as their current home?

Lin Yunzhi was familiar with the law. According to the law of Mingning, if a person picked up 10 taels of gold and did not return it, he would be sentenced to exile. If a person picked up 50 taels of gold and did not return it, he would be executed.

Lin Yunzhi looked at Tian Xingjian, wanting him to help.

Because Lin Yunzhi was raised by her uncle and aunt, her parents died early, and her father was sent to work as an official and had a concubine by his side, so she was fostered in her uncle's home.

My cousin picked up fifty taels of gold and refused to return it. If he was found out, he would be executed.

Her cousin was very kind to her and almost always responded to her requests.

Lin Yunzhi was getting anxious, and Daju continued talking.

[And do you know? The gold your cousin picked up was the gold that was used for disaster relief but was embezzled by the Shengjing governor. There is an official seal on it. Your cousin can't spend this gold. ]

[Ahhh, what should I do? My mother has always cared about my uncle's family! She always sends a lot of gifts back during the holidays.]

[What else can I do? Throw the gold away and ask your father to pick it up. Your father is an official, so he can just return the gold to Shengjing.]

[Ah! The laws of Mingning Country are really strange. ]

[There are even stranger things, you just haven't experienced them yet! ]

[I come from modern society, what strange things have I not seen? ]

[You have only seen advanced and novel things, not rotten and dirty things. ]

[Okay, you are strong and you are right. Qingchen, you are dreaming and you run so far? ]

[This distance is nothing. As long as it is within the scope of Wucheng County, I can go around it in one night. ]

【Can't you leave Wucheng? 】

[So I hope your father can go to Shengjing to take up his post soon.]

Tian Xiaoxiao fell asleep.

Ade carried Tian Xiaoxiao back to the room.

When Daju saw Tian Xiaoxiao falling into a deep sleep, he ran out to eat his dream again.

Lin Yunzhi didn't care that she was pregnant and rushed to Furong Town overnight.

Tian Xingjian was worried about Lin Yunzhi, so he asked Tian Xiwen to follow him.

The mother and son, along with two guards who were skilled in martial arts, returned to their uncle's house at four o'clock in the morning.

Lin Yunzhi was cautious and asked the driver to drive more slowly, take a small road, and go back.

Lin Junjie was awakened by the urgent knocking on the door. He thought that the matter about his gold had been discovered. He was so scared that his legs went weak and he almost wet his pants.

He went to open the door with gritted teeth, and the person standing outside called him "Brother", which made Lin Junjie feel relieved.

After sending everyone away, the first thing Lin Yunzhi asked was whether Lin Junjie had picked up fifty taels of gold.

Lin Junjie was about to tell his cousin that he had become rich, but was scolded.

Lin Yunzhi asked Lin Junjie to check whether there was an official seal on the gold.

As a result, Lin Junjie realized that this was the gold from the national treasury. He was dumbfounded and cried for Lin Yunzhi to save him.

Lin Yunzhi asked carefully when and where the gold was picked up.

Lin Junjie replied that he picked it up when he went out to buy groceries in the morning, and the bag was on the steps in front of his house.

Oh no, Lin Yunzhi knew that Lin Junjie was framed.

Lin Yunzhi fell silent, thinking about the matter carefully, and going over the laws of Mingning Kingdom in his mind again.

She couldn't understand why her uncle's family, who were doing business in Furong Town and could barely support their family, would be targeted by someone.

Tian Xiwen, who was standing by, figured out the connection.

"Mom, they are trying to harm Dad!"

Lin Yunzhi then connected Tian Xingjian's upcoming transfer to the post of governor of Shengjing with the fifty taels of gold.

Fortunately, Xiaoxiao's melon was eaten, otherwise the Tian family would not only not be promoted this time, but would probably have to go bankrupt and ruin their careers to save Lin Junjie.

"Brother, call Bingsheng here right away. I remember he has passed the imperial examination?"

"Well, it's been three years since I passed the exam. This year I can take the Autumn Examination."

"Give me the gold, I'll throw it away, and then have Bingsheng pick it up, and go to Wucheng right away to give the gold to your brother-in-law."

Lin Yunzhi took the purse and asked the security guard to throw the purse on the steps of Lin Junjie's front door from a distance.

After a while, Lin Bingsheng rubbed his sleepy eyes and stepped on the purse while carrying the bucket.

He picked it up, opened it and looked through it, then Lin Junjie harnessed his carriage and went to Wucheng to find the county magistrate.

Lin Yunzhi also left Furong Town through the back door.

Before leaving, Lin Yunzhi scolded Lin Junjie.

"Brother, if you need money, just tell me. There's no need to pick up gold that could cost you your head!"

"Besides, if you find something and return it, there's nothing wrong with it. But you, you actually stole it."

"Yunzhi, your sister-in-law is ill. I found some gold and I wanted to use it to treat her illness."

Lin Yunzhi took out one hundred taels of silver.

"Brother, this is the harvest from my farm a few days ago. Take it and use it to buy medicine for my sister-in-law."

"Also, I'll leave the rice and flour shop in Furong Town to you! That's my mother's dowry. Don't let me down. Do a good job and I will not treat you unfairly."

"Let Bingmao come with me to Wucheng. Your brother-in-law has been promoted. We will go to Shengjing soon. Bingmao will go to Wucheng to help me manage the farm."

"Brother, if you do these things well, the family will have a lot of income every year. Although we can't become rich, we can definitely have enough food and clothing and have some surplus."

"Yunzhi, thank you for doing so much for me."

"We are one family and we should keep our differences. Bingsheng still has to continue his studies. You must not make any mistakes and affect him."

Only then did Lin Junjie's eyes light up.
