The jade that pulls the red mansion is also crazy

Last time, when Lin Long saw that group of literati were going to be executed, blood gushed all over his body, and he rushed to find Yinhu, and almost didn't think about it at all, but Yinhu heard someone report it, but he really saw him. At this moment, Lin Long Seeing that Yinhu was in a good mood, and it was worth asking, she hesitated, as if she wanted to say something, Yinhu asked the people around her to go down, and all the maids left, Lin Long hurriedly bowed down, Seriously said: "The lower official dares to ask Lord Baylor to show mercy outside the law and let those innocent literati go!"

Although Yinhu didn't have much contact with Lin Long, but based on his impression, he only thought that he was a Linglong and fun person. He never expected that he would ask for this. Lin Long glanced at her and asked coldly, "Are you begging for them?"

Lin Long hurriedly said: "These talents are peerless, and they are really rare talents. If they can work for our court, they must have made great achievements. I am not favoritism and exalting them. I just stand on the sidelines and give them a fair If Lord Baylor doesn’t believe you, you can try to investigate, if you just convict and execute them in such a muddle, it may not be a big loss for our dynasty.”

Yinhu quietly took the tea cover and fanned the tea. He didn't know what he was thinking, and the expression on his face was quite amusing. After a long while, he smiled and said, "I almost forgot, you are the sworn brother of my thirteenth brother, aren't you? You Didn’t he ask you to tell me these words?”

Lin Long was stunned, and said: "It is true that I sworn brotherhood with the thirteenth elder brother, but this matter has nothing to do with him. The officials just feel that they are innocent and speak these words for them out of conscience. , it will inevitably cause a negative impact among the people, and the people will secretly resent, which is really not a good thing, Eighth Master thinks carefully."

Yinhu nodded, and said with a leisurely smile: "Let me guess, with my thirteenth brother's temperament, if you want to intercede with me, he must try his best to stop him, and he will tell you, 'Don't be confused! It's useless, Even if you beg him, he won't agree!', but what if this is the case?"

Lin Long then said: "In this case, the Eighth Master is the master, and the Thirteenth Master will naturally cooperate fully. If someone violates the Eighth Master's will, the Thirteenth Master will naturally refuse to sit idly by. Those words were indeed said. "

Yinhu smiled, a little smug, and said: "You came to beg me, you really found the right person, my Huang Ama entrusted this matter to me, whether to arrest a hundred or a thousand, it's up to me Forget it, no matter who it is, as long as I say that he wants to rebel, he will be sentenced to death, as long as I say that he is fine, he is innocent, whether to let him go or not is indeed a matter of my words, as for others, they have no such right."

Suddenly he laughed again: "Based on my observation of you, you should be a smart and dexterous person. You should think about everything, don't do what you can't do, and if you do, try to be thorough and perfect. Logically speaking, your status is low. It's just that I have a low-level official position, and you come to me so aggressively to intercede, and you still hold the idea of ​​asking me to listen to you and take back my life, this is simply a fantasy, but, such an impulsive thing It was made by people like you, it is conceivable that these people really have weight in your heart, let me say that, right?"

Lin Long said: "Ba Ye is shrewd."

Holding the teacup, Yinhu turned around to look at the patterns around her, and said with a smile, "But, why should I sell you this favor? You don't have extraordinary achievements to rely on, and you are not a prince or prime minister. Is it just because I live in your room?" Is it necessary to sell the house to such a big man? This is also ridiculous, besides, I helped you for no reason, but it didn't help me at all. In this way, this deal is not worth it. "

Lin Long was slightly stunned, bit her lips, and said in a deep voice: "I just think that there should be a word 'reason' in the world. Lord Baylor has a kind heart and a heart of charity. If you know that many of them are innocent, you must be innocent." He will be merciful and let them go, that's why he came to beg Lord Baylor."

Yinhu laughed and said, "I've grown up so much, to be honest, this is the first time someone said I'm kindhearted and benevolent"!"

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "It's not impossible if I can save them, but I have a condition, I wonder if you will agree to it?"

Seeing what he said, Lin Long said, "If Lord Baylor has any orders, I will do it with all my strength."

Yinhu waved his hand, called Lin Long closer, and said with a soft smile, "As long as you break off friendship with my thirteenth brother and stand on the same line with me, which literati you want to let go, I can investigate and send them away." They let it go. How?"

When Lin Long heard this, her mind thumped, and she was immediately angry, feeling that Yinhu was teasing him deliberately, so she looked at him for a long time, smiled faintly, and said, "Master Baylor probably doesn't know what the word 'marriage' means, right? "Blushing, getting up and leaving.

Yinhu laughed and said: "Since you don't want to, I'll give you another way here. If you follow suit, I can let that person go immediately. This doesn't call you disloyal, but it's a good thing." Well, are you listening?"

Lin Long stopped at the door without saying a word.

Yinhu took out a very exquisite jade pendant from his bosom, and said with a smile: "This jade pendant was given to me by my mother-in-law when I was young. It is exquisite in workmanship and priceless. I want you to pass it on to you Sister, as long as she is willing to wear it, you can make a list for me, and whoever you say to let go, I will let go, how about it?"

Lin Long turned her head slowly, looked at the jade pendant, then at Yinhu, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you let her wear this?"

Yinhu smiled and said: "When my mother went to the temple to ask for it for me, the old monk in the temple said that if there is a coincidence, this jade pendant can bless me with no wind and waves in my life, good life and good health. If you don't have this chance, it's just an ordinary jade pendant. The so-called chance, it's strange to say, is to let a Linghui daughter born on February [-]th wear it. My mother-in-law once found it for me However, it’s just that I hate them for being dirty and vulgar. How can there be a word of wisdom? I don’t want to let them touch each other. I saw your sister and thought she was very good, so I came up with this idea, and I was afraid that she would misunderstand , I'm sorry to say, I just want to ask you."

Lin Long thought to herself, "It's another myth and legend." He asked, "Is it true what Ba Ye said?"

Yinhu hurriedly laughed and said, "I've always said things differently, what are you lying about, I also sent you a lot of things for your sister's birthday, and it was just to make a good impression for the future, that's all. As long as she is willing to accept this, I will release her immediately without any delay. I know you must be puzzled, thinking that there is no such easy thing in the world, but you don’t know it, and I have no choice. I agreed to you with such a big risk? Think about it carefully."

Lin Long concentrated for a while, then slowly took the jade pendant, frowned and said: "Baye is a dignified Baylor, don't break your word."

Yinhu liked it very much, and quickly ordered the boy to come in, and said: "You let him go, anyone he wants to release, you just say 'it has been checked by the eighth master, and there is no fact of rebellion', and they are all released, and I will let you go. Makes sense!"

The kid quickly agreed, that Lin Long's thoughts were not beyond the current situation, and it was difficult to figure out the mystery at the moment. He just thought: It's just a jade pendant, which is non-toxic and harmless. If you wear it on your neck, dozens of lives will be saved just like that. down?If it was true as he said, he felt that there shouldn't be such cheap things in the world, but seeing what he meant, he didn't lie at all, but he was also happy, because he thought: my sister has always been familiar with the general situation, if she knew that this place is of great significance, she would definitely not be able to In the shape of her little daughter on weekdays, she complained and refused.Then he thanked Yinhu, without delay, and hurriedly followed the boy to save people.

At this time, an hour had passed since they arrived. Lin Long and the two of them galloped non-stop and headed towards the execution ground. The whip whipped the horse's buttocks into bloodstains. Lin Long's eyes were fixed and his chest was hot. Lin Long seemed to have forgotten everything in the world. He wished he could grow two wings to fly over, and the boy who followed him desperately followed, Rao Ye rode a good horse, but he was always far behind Lin Long.

Flying like lightning, he finally arrived at the execution ground. Seeing the still dense crowd, Lin Long was about to jump out of his heart. The smile on his face gradually became stronger, and he tore his strength from a distance and shouted: "Get out of the way!"

Seeing Saburo desperately coming from behind, the people were unstoppable, frightened by his momentum, and hurriedly gave way. Lin Long and the two immediately rushed in. Before Lin Long shouted out the words in his throat, he immediately fell silent, and his smile had not had time to bloom , but immediately froze, a little bit covered by the ashen-like color.

Thousands of sinners disappeared, the sky and the earth suddenly widened, the tiankeng had been filled, and crowds and groups of soldiers were stamping the ground with their feet. They are like the audience who are unwilling to leave after watching the show. They are still sighing and sighing one after another. All kinds of words are buzzing in their ears like little flying insects. Lin Long listens to them, but doesn't know anything can not hear.

His eyes stared at the gray land obsessively. After staring for a long time, many blurred phantoms appeared in front of his eyes. He read poems aloud, and the mountains, rivers, flowers and birds in the world seemed to follow him. When he read to the point of excitement, The man stood up suddenly, with a clear voice, trembling a little, which made people involuntarily follow into another vast world. He saw another slender man coming over with his pen in his mouth, handing over the materials he had found to a betting literary friend. Inside, he said with a smile: "Look, I said that the reason why this battle was won was that the Qing ancestors stole the achievements of others, and you just don't believe it."

One scene and one scene seemed to be staged, so real, but in the blink of an eye, there was nothing, some were just busy soldiers, abrupt plains, and further away, there were more and more dense dark clouds in the sky.

Seeing this scene, the kid who came with him whispered, "It's a misfortune for us to come, so the Thirteenth Master has already called for execution."

One word reminded Lin Long, and he stared blankly at the execution platform. The dark clouds covered the sun that was setting in the west, but he still felt it was a bit dazzling. The row of silk cloth in front of the table seemed to be intentional. Yinxiang did not leave, as if he was waiting for him to come back. The officials who followed him did not leave when they saw that elder brother. Naturally, it was not easy for them to leave. Under the gaze of Lin Long, he walked down and approached, but did not meet Lin Long's eyes all the way.

Lin Long asked calmly, "Why?"

For the first time, he looked at Yinxiang with cold eyes, as if he didn't know him, and said: "You promised to wait for me, I succeeded, Ba Ye took back his life, and I will be back within two hours oh, why did you do that?"

Yinxiang raised his head, his voice was not loud, as if he was trying to explain clearly to him: "Second brother, rebellion is a matter of wind or rain. They have something to do with it. The only crime is capital punishment. My emperor will not forgive you." If you let them go, you won't let go of those who are related to them, not to mention you, even the princes and nobles, as long as you have anything to do with the rebellion, you will not end well."

Lin Long smiled, full of ridicule, as if listening to a sarcasm, Yinxiang frowned, and said seriously: "I don't know how you can get my starling to agree to you, but you don't know people like my starling , you don’t understand the many pairs of eyes hiding in the dark, the many tongues, you don’t understand the many right and wrong in this world. He will regret it after he dies. At that time, you will be the first rebellious person, and you will be the thorn in his side. It is your appearance that makes his perfect plan add a flaw that should not be there. This will give you The road ahead will bring many gloomy accidents, because I understand his darkness, so I can't let you take risks, and I also sigh for the death of these literati, but compared with their lives, your life is more valuable!"

Lin Long listened silently with her head down, and said with a smile: "You're wrong, in fact, I was born with a humble life, just to get rid of these things, so I'm trying to change myself, I made friends with you, and asked you for an official position, but nothing happened. It is for this purpose that I approach them and respect them. I am using their broad and profound thoughts to change the vulgarity in myself. The same is true. Sometimes I have an illusion that I have changed now, and I can change myself in various situations. It is already very powerful, but today I just realized how ridiculously small my ability is. No matter how hard I try to change, I am a cheap life. The one who is powerful is Eighth Master, these soldiers, and the other side You promised to wait for me and let me run between the two places like a dog, but you who ordered these people to be executed here, you are the thirteenth master."

The sky was gloomy, and the thick dark clouds were overwhelmed, almost as if they were about to fall. Big raindrops fell one by one. The two people in the rain looked at each other, and neither of them moved.

In the end, Lin Long bluntly moved away her blood-red eyes and turned around.

Yin Xiang suddenly opened his mouth, his voice was a little sad, and he said slowly: "You are right, I backed down, and I did become a villain once, but do you know that if someone else said these words today, I would be a I don’t even want to say a word. These heartfelt words should be rotten in my stomach, because any one sentence will be bad for me. It can make my brilliance disappear in an instant, and my dignity will be greatly reduced. If I don't get the slightest attention from Huang Ama, why am I doing this!"

Lin Long was stunned for a while, silently, bowed his head and walked away silently. The heavy rain was pouring on Lin Long's head and body. He didn't seem to feel it at all. The people hiding from the rain had all run away long ago. Only such a lonely person walked forward slowly, the county magistrate personally came over to hold Yinxiang an umbrella, and said with a smile: "Master Thirteen is frightened, the prison sentence is over, the weather is getting colder, and the next official has prepared a banquet, please Master Thirteen, please enjoy your face and drink a cup of hot wine to warm up your body?"

It took Yinxiang a long time before he looked away from Lin Long's back. With a hoarse voice, he said softly, "Give him an umbrella." He turned and left.

The county magistrate quickly chased after him, his face froze for a moment, he looked at him, then at Lin Long, and suddenly understood, he hurriedly ordered the boy to send Lin Long an umbrella, and everyone here escorted Yin Xiangwei away like stars holding the moon No, don't mention it.

It is said that Lin Long returned to Jia's mansion as if in a daze, his mind was buzzing all the time, there was nothing but earth-shattering, he forgot to ride a horse, forgot to hire a sedan chair, someone brought him an umbrella once, and he took it I came here, but when I got to the house, I found that I had lost my umbrella a long time ago. I don't know when the rain will get lighter or when it will get dark.

In a trance, I saw many boys approaching in surprise, calling out "Second Master", and hurriedly handing over a handkerchief and a hand stove, Lin Long pushed it away and went back to Xiaojiuzhai with one foot high and one foot low, and the girls also followed suit. Surprised, they all gathered around to serve, chirping, all the phantom sounds of nothingness between heaven and earth, Lin Long was agitated in her heart, so she walked away, sitting on the chair by the table in a daze, the rain dripped down her hair and cheeks The clothes and trousers dripped down, and the ground was wet after a while.

But she vaguely heard Daiyu's voice, asking at the door: "Where is it? Let me take a look." As she spoke, the person had already entered leisurely. Seeing her coming in, Lin Long forced a smile and said 'sister'.

When Daiyu left, she had vaguely guessed what she was going to do. She expected to be frustrated, but she didn't expect her to be so decadent. "If the clothes are cold like this, he will definitely get sick. You should boil some hot water and wait for him to change his clothes."

The girls muttered and said, "Second Lord won't let me." '

Daiyu said: "I'm here, let's see if he dares not let me go."

So they avoided going out first, and the girls served Lin Long as they said, but Lin Long didn't say anything, sent the girls away, and changed the clean clothes by himself, Long Er hurriedly asked the little girl to take off the wet clothes.

The little girl was shaking her clothes, when she passed by Daiyu, she heard a 'ding' sound, something emerald green and crystal clear fell down, Daiyu was puzzled, so she went to pick it up, carefully identified it, she felt very familiar, for a while I couldn't remember it again, so I held onto it for now and waited for Lin Long to take a hot bath, and then watched him drink ginger soup. Seeing that his spirit was much better than before, Fang took out Cuiyu and said : "This fell off my brother's clothes just now, but who gave it to my brother?"

Seeing Cuiyu, Lin Long remembered what Yinhu had said, and thought that the jade had not been used before, and everyone became ghosts in the earth. She felt desolate, smiled wryly, and said lightly: "The eighth master gave it to me, let me give it to you." Convince my sister to wear it."
