Lin Jue hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold her, sat in front of her on a stool, held her cold and trembling hand and said, "Don't be impulsive, I learned about this matter this evening, and I thought about it again and again, and I felt that this matter should not be done by Governor Yan and Lord Liang." They probably wouldn't do that because they didn't have to. Needless to say, Governor Yan is a man of his word, and I firmly believe that. The people my teacher Fang Dunru befriended were all trustworthy gentlemen. That alone makes me believe he wouldn't do that. As for King Liang, he had no reason to do so. He didn't have to do such a broken promise at this time, it wouldn't do him any good. When they came together to explain this matter to me today, they mentioned that it was the Privy Council of the Imperial Court that was in charge of recruiting security this time, and that it was the Chuzhou Army that was dispatched. I want you to tell me the details so that I know what happened and if someone was doing something wrong. ”

Gao Muqing sobbed and recalled the events of a few days ago, and told Lin Jue about the process of the imperial court being in charge of negotiation, as well as the fact that the Chuzhou soldiers changed their faces immediately after they went to the island. When the people on the island resisted, Gao Muqing wanted to fight to the death to redeem his guilt, but he was forcibly escorted away by his subordinates. Because everyone understands that the tide has turned, and it is useless to stay and work hard.

Lin Jue frowned and listened carefully to all this, and said after a moment's silence: "When they were contacted, they were in accordance with the terms agreed between us and the Governor of Yan Mansion Liang and their predecessors, and they turned their faces when they arrived on the island to collect the blades, which was obviously a premeditated move. In other words, the court has already decided to do this, but when approached, it was afraid that you would not accept it, so it deceived you. The imperial court really didn't even want to have a face, and this kind of thing was done. But this is an indication that someone is doing the trick. If the prefect of Yan and the king of Liang had made a premeditated plan earlier, it would be impossible for them to play according to our agreement. Although I was sick that day, Governor Yan showed me the recital when he came to visit, saying that he wanted me to recuperate from my injuries, and that everything he promised would be fulfilled. Unless he deliberately deceived me with a fake performance, then he was too wicked. ”

Gao Muqing said: "How do you know that they are not? I don't trust them anymore. ”

Lin Jue said: "No matter what, you must not act rashly. I will find out the truth, and I will give you an account no matter how long it takes. You are my wife, your business is my business, I only hope you don't be impulsive, don't give your life in vain. ”

Gao Muqing was silent.

Lin Jue said softly: "How many of you escaped?" Where do you stay? Now that the imperial court has turned its face, I am afraid that it will not be relenting. You'll have to find a way to hide it. Did the Liang Seven brothers escape? ”

Gao Muqing said: "A total of about 200 of us escaped, I won't tell you the specific location, and I don't even believe you now." Don't ask, either. As for Liang Qi, if he sees you now, he will slash you with a knife, unlike me...... He hesitated. We are already dead to the court, and all I can tell you is that we plan to regroup, and we will spend our lives with the court. I swore that I would fight the court to the end and never fall for them again. Don't persuade me, and I won't listen to you anymore. Yes, being a bandit is not a way out, but I don't have a choice right now. ”

Lin Jue frowned and said, "You also want to follow them?" What about us? You and I are husband and wife. ”

Gao Muqing said with tears: "From now on, the two will be fine." From this day forward, you are you, I am me, and you and I have nothing to do with each other. Not many people know about our marriage, so we should ...... Just as if it didn't happen. ”

Lin Jue was stunned and speechless, and looked at Gao Muqing in a daze.

Gao Muqing looked at Lin Jue with tears in his eyes and said, "Forgive me, I have no choice." Can I still pretend to be okay with you right now? How do I give an account to my brothers and sisters, and even more so to those who died? How to face the heroic souls of Daddy and those predecessors in the cottage. Lin Lang, you know how I treat you in my heart, I Gao Muqing will not do this to the second person in my life, today's situation is to create and make people. That's all I can do. ”

Lin Jue said: "Mu Qing, think about it again, maybe there is another solution." ”

Gao Muqing shook his head and said, "There is no other way, I have made up my mind." ”

Lin Jue sighed for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Gao Muqing stood up and walked in front of Lin Jue, picked up Lin Jue's face and kissed it gently, and said softly, "Lin Lang, I'm leaving." Since then, there may be no goodbye. I ...... today Actually, I'm not here to kill you, I know I can't do it. I have come to bid you farewell. I promised not to tell you my whereabouts, but I can't help but tell you that we plan to settle in Funiu Mountain, Henan. If...... If you want to see me in the future, go find me there. I...... I...... Going, I'm ...... I came here without them, and I don't want to disappoint my brothers and sisters anymore. ”

Lin Jue raised his head, and there were tears on his face. Gao Muqing suddenly hugged Lin Jue's neck tightly and kissed Lin Jue tightly, looking extremely wild. Lin Jue also hugged her body tightly and kissed her passionately, and suddenly, Lin Jue felt a sharp pain in his lips, salty and sweet in his mouth, and he was already bleeding. Gao Muqing had already broken away from Lin Jue's embrace, and the blood on his lips was like blood.

"Lin Lang, so that you will always remember me." Gao Muqing said softly with blood on his lips.

"Mu Qing!" Lin Jue exclaimed lightly.

"It's time for me to go." Gao Muqing said, and his body was already on the bed of the long window.

"Mu Qing!" Lin Jue exclaimed.

"Lin Lang, cherish it!" Gao Muqing turned around, her starry eyes flashed with tears, she smiled, and when she turned around again, her figure had already disappeared into the darkness.

Lin Jue chased to the window, it was as dark as ink in all directions, and there was still a figure of Gao Muqing. Lin Jue sat on the chair, holding his forehead with his hands, his face distorted, and he was extremely painful.

……

On July 19 of the third year of Qingfeng in the Great Zhou Dynasty, outside the North Gate of Hangzhou, an official ship passed through the city gate and slowly sailed into the city. The naval forces of the Ning Navy dispatched ships to maintain order in the river, dredge the navigation routes, and ensure the smooth passage of this official ship.

The people of Hangzhou know that only when important people arrive will there be such a move, and the people on this official ship must be people of great origin. Therefore, although there are complaints, I have to avoid them as much as possible. What they don't know is that the person on this ship is indeed not small, but he was also a member of Hangzhou City, he walked out of Hangzhou City, and now he is the deputy envoy of the third department of the official residence, and the second master of the Lin family, Lin Bonian, who is the head of the third department of the household department.

Lin Bonian's early years of the imperial examination and the first thing in Hangzhou City was quite a sensation, not because there was no one in Hangzhou City, but the Hangzhou Lin family after several generations finally had a person who was able to be admitted to the imperial examination, the celebration at that time was too grand, almost half of Hangzhou City. Some of the older people in Hangzhou can still remember the celebration of Lin Bonian's entrance examination more than 20 years ago. In particular, the homeless and poor people on the streets remember it most clearly, because they ate good food and good food for free for ten days, which is still fresh in their memory.

More than 20 years later, Lin Bonian has already held a high position in the third rank and has become the deputy envoy of the three divisions of the imperial court. In the eyes of many people, this is already an unattainable high-ranking temple official. In the eyes of ordinary people, the main institutions in the imperial court are nothing more than the two governments and three divisions. The prime minister, deputy prime minister, privy envoy, and privy deputy envoy in the two governments are all first-class officials, so it can be seen that the deputy envoys of the three divisions and yamen who are parallel to the two governments are naturally on an equal footing with them. Then Lin Bonian's status is naturally self-evident. It is also an honor for Hangzhou people to have such a high-ranking official in Hangzhou.

However, the people will understand that the three ministers are too far behind the Privy Council of the Government Hall. Nominally, the three divisions and the two governments are equally famous, but in fact, the three divisions and yamen are controlled by the government hall and the Privy Council at the same time, and they are only auxiliary and supplemental to the two governments. To put it mildly, it is the deputy envoy of the three divisions, which is the main position of the three envoys, and it cannot be compared with a political affairs officer in the political affairs hall.

In fact, all this is contrary to the original intention of setting up the three divisions of the yamen. At the beginning, the Great Zhou Dynasty reformed the Tang system and established the system of two governments and three divisions, the purpose of which was to separate the military power and financial power of the prime minister, contain each other, and avoid the disadvantages of excessive power of the prime minister. However, the establishment of this system has produced many other drawbacks, such as overlapping powers, redundant institutions, mutual prevarication and cross-fertilization, and low efficiency. In the course of more than 100 years of governance in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the original idea is quietly changing by the facts.

But in any case, the deputy envoy of the third division is also a high-ranking official with extremely high status and great power. What's more, the entire Yamen of the Third Division is a fat and oily Yamen, and the deputy envoy of the Third Division is an eye-watering official position.

As for how Lin Bonian stayed in the capital as a top three and first, and has been an official in the capital, and finally mixed into such a high position, I don't know the inside story, it can be said that Lin Bonian's official fortune is prosperous. But if you know the inside story, you know that Lin Bonian doesn't know how much money he has spent on drilling camps over the years. He can have today, and the support of the Lin family's strong financial resources behind him is inseparable.

The last time Lin Bonian returned to his hometown was ten years ago, when he had just become the deputy envoy of the Third Division, so he naturally wanted to return to his hometown to comfort his ancestors; More importantly, let the people in his hometown know that his Lin family has a big official, so that everyone understands that the Lin family can't be provoked. But that return to my hometown actually left a very bad memory. happened to encounter the death of his third brother Lin Boming, and the death of the third brother diluted the joy of his promotion. The situation of the orphans and widows in the third room crying out for the sky and the land is vivid, which makes his mood both sad and troubled.

This time, he Lin Bonian came back again, but this time he came back more glorious than the last time he was promoted, because he was a minister of the Qin Mission, and he came to Hangzhou to preach the decree by the will of the Holy Lord. Originally, the identity of this minister of the Qin Mission could not be his turn Lin Bonian, the king of Liang, Guo Bing and Yan Zhengsu, the victory of the bandits, and the saint wanted to issue a decree to commend him, how could this candidate also be a person from the political hall or the military, as a person from the Sansi Yamen who couldn't beat the eight poles, he had nothing to do with him at all. However, a key figure in this anti-bandit operation gave him this glory, and that person was his nephew Lin Jue in the third room.

Lin Bonian could never have imagined that Guo Bing and Yan Zhengsu's recital would have the name of the Lin family's three-room concubine, who was just a wooden boy in his impression more than ten years ago, and it was his strategy, and he ventured to the island to experience nine deaths to assist the officers and soldiers in conquering the bandits' lair. All this could not make Lin Bonian connect with the child with vague memories in his impression, but this is true. For this reason, the saint also specially summoned himself and said some words of praise, praising them for their Lin family's loyalty, filial piety, and good teaching of their children, and among their children, there were capable people who sacrificed their lives to serve the court. This time, Lin Bonian was specially asked to go to Hangzhou to preach the decree and commend him, which meant to commend his Lin family.

Therefore, in fact, the reason why Lin Bonian has this glory this time is because of Lin Jue, the concubine in his third room, who can be regarded as stained with Lin Jue's light. Lin Bonian is naturally very happy about this, although he is not the son of the eldest family, but the concubine of the third room, which is a bit surprising and slightly regretful, but in any case, the Lin family can produce talents, which is something to be happy about. Lin Bonian plans to get to know this three-room concubine who was completely ignored by himself, and make up for the strange relationship between them.
