Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Grandmother Jia gave instructions again and again, and the faces of her children and grandchildren were all numb with sadness.

"Mother, why is this happening?" Jia Zheng called out in a long voice.

Jia's mother's eyes were filled with tears, and she only sighed.

"What an injustice!"

"You all go!"

"If it's him, then it's really over!"

Jia Zhen's eyes were filled with tears, and he could not rest for a long time when he returned.

He led his men without stopping and rushed to Xuanzhen Temple first.

My father! You are a pure-hearted Taoist, why are you involved with the palace?

"Bangdang..."

The signs of Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Splashing dust all over the ground.

Everyone's hearts felt as if they had been dug out, empty and aching.

……

"Sister! You're back?" At this time, a sedan chair was carried out from the side door, and a surprised call came from the sedan chair.

Aunt Xue and Baochai, who were in the sedan chair, heard the noise at the door.

They couldn't help but lift the curtain to take a look.

He just happened to meet Mrs. Wang's face, which was confused, helpless, distraught, and like an empty shell.

Aunt Xue's heart was in a knot and her hands were shaking.

When has my sister ever felt so helpless?

So she hurriedly said hello,

Mrs. Wang was completely unaware of this and just stared at the plaque on the ground like a wooden sculpture or clay figurine.

Aunt Xue was a little anxious, she leaned forward and wanted to greet them again.

Xue Baochai, who was standing by, grabbed her and

"Mom! Look, my aunt is busy! She has no time to take care of us."

"Wouldn't it be convenient for us to visit my aunt after we have settled down at our own home?"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she slowly sat down and looked at her sister's face, feeling sad.

"You're right. Once we've settled in, we'll invite your aunt over to play."

"The Xue family also has some interesting and presentable things."

Aunt Xue tried to use words to soothe her troubled heart.

The sedan chair gradually moved away. Xue Baochai looked back at the empty plaque. The handkerchief felt like needles and she could not hold it.

It’s almost noon and it’s still so cold!

My eyes stung and my hands became stiff.

……

This...what's going on?"

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture stepped into the government compound, his eyes fixed in astonishment on the large, pitch-black coffins that exuded a heavy atmosphere, and his voice trembled.

The Lin family servant who came to report the case bowed respectfully and said sadly:

"Your Excellency, our Lin Mansion was invaded by thieves last night."

He paused, his expression becoming more serious, "A group of villains of unknown origin broke in at night and acted recklessly..."

"It's too late to report the crime. All our young masters have been put into coffins today."

"Please judge wisely, sir!"

The mother in the prefect's heart has been brought up by himself several times.

He knew exactly what was going on.

The Lin family is here to demonstrate.

Could it be that he knew that I was giving the Jia family a break?

"What about this one?" The prefect of Shuntian pointed at the head of the Lin family who had his mouth covered.

Is this also a gangster?

"No, he's a witness!"

"Is this the treatment of a witness?" It was a little strange for the prefect to see a witness gagged and tied up for the first time.

He asked the bailiff to take the things out of the witness' mouth.

I couldn't help but let out a breath of cold air.

This thing looks familiar! Could it be that Jia Lian gave it to them to perform a double act?

He asked the yamen runner to take it and opened it.

Oh my god!

What a rag of the Imperial Guards!

Fortunately it wasn't that one. This one was just smeared with two blood stains.

It doesn't form a word, but rather looks like a ghostly scribble.

"Witness! What can you testify to?" The prefect slammed the table in anger.

The head of the Lin family first said “Puh” before taking a closer look at the piece of rag.

Good boy, you dare to lie to me?

The key point is that I was deceived?

He replied angrily,

"What can I prove? I can prove that these people came to the Lin family to steal things."

"I saw them break down the door and rush in."

"If you don't believe me, why don't you open it and ask?"

Now I am forced to do this by my son.

If I don't say that, would it be my fault?

When Li Kui meets Li Gui, I will strike first.

At this time, the prefect narrowed his eyes and continued to ask,

"Who are you then?"

"How can you prove that?"

The prefect stared at the head of the Lin family.

"I am the head of the Lin family, and I come from Suzhou." The head of the Lin family clasped his fists and saluted, showing the style of a patriarch.

"My apologies..." The prefect was respectful of the appearance of the head of the Lin family.

He was tied up and gagged.

It seems that the Lin family has a lot of stories!

The prefect waved his hand and ordered his men,

"Since the Lin family has sent the bandits, why don't we open it and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, several yamen runners looked at each other, and no one was willing to take action.

So they called the Lin family,

"Open the coffin!"

The servant of the Lin family was very understanding and kindly reminded, "Please stand back."

Several yamen runners saw that the prefect was leading the way.

How could the bailiffs retreat?

There's nothing we haven't seen.

How many times have the coffins been opened for autopsies?

That being the case,

"Bang..." The Lin family servant removed the nails and opened the lid, and the coffin opened instantly.

"Ugh... Ugh..."

The bailiffs, the prefect, and others were all stunned by the tragic scene inside.

The smell of various excrement instantly made the government compound boil.

The prefect had to hold on to the wall to keep his balance.

It’s so... cruel!

Let the smell dissipate first!

……

I saw five or six people piled up inside, their heads and feet intertwined.

Stack after stack...

They were still breathing, but they looked like fools.

No one moved even after the smell dissipated.

"Get up! Can you get up?"

"Is he dead? Not dead?"

"Eyeballs moving?"

"Come here, carry them out and let them air out first..." The prefect could not help but order.

The sound is also a bit heavy.

No one knew what kind of torture the Lin family had inflicted on them, as there were no scars on their bodies.

Just stupid and dumb!

Fortunately, I have a badge on me to prove my identity.

The prefect felt overwhelmed. This was a problem created by the Lin family.

The Lin family is putting the blame on me.

How should I judge this case? It seems I have to go to the Imperial Guard.

I have to go to the palace...

The prefect had a worried look on his face.

……

No... The prefect was thinking to himself, and suddenly thought of a question.

Jia Family...

Jia Lian...

Is that a witness?

Can you prove what they are here for?

This matter is a mess. You can't be impatient. You have to figure it out.

If this matter is handled well, I can be promoted to a higher rank. If it is not handled well,

Then it is possible that you will lose your job.

In the capital, are they bandits or imperial decrees?

It's not up to me! It's up to the throne room.

Thinking of this, the prefect frowned and said, "Keep the petition, put him in jail, and wait for sentencing!"

So the few people with strange smell were transferred to the government jail.

The head of the Lin family was sent out politely.

……

After leaving the government office, the head of the Lin family hesitated at the door.

Where are you going now?

If I go back to the Lin family, I will probably be embarrassed.

I have to be mocked, ridiculed, and guarded against by my son, who watches me like a thief all day long.

If you don't reply, then all your efforts will be in vain.

No, I need to find a place to stay and some helpers.

Thinking of this, he took a step in one direction.

……

At Xuanzhen Temple outside Beijing, the wind was blowing and the incense was deserted.

When Jia Zhen hurriedly arrived with his family children.

Then I saw the little Taoist priests kneeling at the door.

Jia Zhen was confused. Was he too late?

The old man is gone?

You're not so fast? You haven't explained yet?

You have to explain it to me before you leave!

Jia Zhen rushed forward, rushed to the door, and yelled,

"Father……"

Jia Xichun watched all this with a look of horror.

She was brought here suddenly and didn't know what was going on?

She had no impression of this father at all.

She has always considered herself as an orphan.

Now someone actually told me that my father was going to die.

Jia Xichun did not feel too much pain, she just felt it was ridiculous.

The only thing I am familiar with is the smell of incense in the temple...
