"Second uncle, I don't know what you think about these things. The Lin family is dominated by the three-room descendants of the main family, and I am not dissatisfied. As a three-room concubine, I know my position in the family, and I don't want to make such a fuss. In fact, some things are unacceptable, and they are too deceitful. In any case, I am also a part of the third room, and even I am bullied like this, let alone everyone in the outer room. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

Lin Bonian frowned and said, "It's just you, what's the matter with the rooms outside the gate?" ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "Second Uncle can go and take a look to see what life most of the people in the outer room have been doing over the years." The main family revitalized the Lin family, forcing everyone to study and take the exam, and the side houses were unable to make a living because the main labor of the head of the family could not make a living, so they could only live on the monthly silver of the main family, which caused their lives to be extremely poor. And this month's silver has also become a means for the inner house to control the outer house. At every turn, he threatened to withhold the monthly case, secretly sent people to monitor the brothers in each house, and found out what the court training was to deal with in the family law, and the people inside and outside the house were panicked and complained. Everyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it. In this case, what to talk about the lintel? It's just an empty phrase. ”

Lin Bonian said solemnly: "Is it so serious? Isn't that an exaggeration? Last night's party, everyone was very happy. I think they're in a good mood too. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "Who dares to be bad, the second uncle came back just to stay for a while, can they still complain to the second uncle?" Besides, the second uncle and the head of the family are brothers, and they are the people of the second room house, do they dare to say anything more to you? Isn't it just for nothing? I don't know what punishment I will be for turning back? Do you see one of them dressed brightly? Let me tell the second uncle, a few days before you return, the head of the house ordered to make a new set of clothes for each old and young in the house, so that the second uncle could come back and look bright. You don't believe me when I say it, but the money used to make clothes will be deducted from the monthly routine when you turn around. This is what I personally heard Huang Changqing say. This may not be the idea of the head of the family, I am afraid it is the idea of a few long-term sons, this is their attitude towards the outside of the house. You say, "Is that like a word?" ”

Lin Bonian's brows twisted into a big pimple. He had never heard of these things, and at the moment it sounded like he was listening to a fantasy. Lin Bonian felt unbelievable to the harsh people of the clan, he refused to believe it, but he felt that if it was true, then there was really a big problem in this family.

"Lin Jue, you have to be responsible for what you say, don't make up lies to deceive me." Lin Bonian shouted coldly.

Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said, "Second uncle, what am I doing with this?" Fabricate and fabricate something big. As long as the second uncle goes to the outer room to go around, he will soon have an answer, so why should I make it up. ”

Lin Bonian said: "Since they don't dare to tell me, why do you want to tell me this? ”

Lin Jue said: "I can't watch the Lin family go on like this, although I am not treated by the head of the family and several long-term sons, but I have never forgotten that I am a child of the Lin family, and when it comes to the future of the Lin family, I can't sit idly by." I'm not afraid of retaliation, and I don't know if it's right or wrong to tell the second uncle about this, but I think that the second uncle is working hard in the capital and working hard for the Lin family, so he must also have the same thoughts as me, just for the good of the Lin family. I always have to find someone to say these things, and I told the second uncle, even if there is no result, I have done my best. ”

Lin Bonian said in a deep voice: "Why don't you talk openly and honestly with the head of the family, the head of the family will not be a person who can't hear opinions." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Why didn't I say it? I told the head of the family my opinion about the court training, about the behavior of the children in the family, about the difference and partiality in the implementation of the family law between the brothers of the inner house and the outer house, and about whether the clansmen should all study and take the exam, and the extreme practice of casting a net. But the result was still the same, which made me even more isolated. If I hadn't done something for the Lin family, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have a foothold. ”

Lin Bonian frowned and groaned. It is customary to light the table with his hands. After a while, he asked in a deep voice, "You came to see me today to say these things to me?" What do you want me to do? ”

Lin Jue slowly shook his head and said: "What I want to say is not only this, I have more important things to report to the second uncle, and what I just said is just some small details." The contradictions and conflicts between me and my family are nothing, and I don't take those things to heart at all. But if the Lin family only has these small drawbacks, they don't need me to talk too much. After all, these things will not cause the Lin family to be destroyed. What I'm going to talk about next is related to the life and death of the Lin family. I don't know if the second uncle is ready to listen to me say these words, because it will definitely surprise and even frighten the second uncle. ”

"Survival? Door to ruin? Lin Jue, did you drink at noon? Such sensational words are also spoken? Although Lin Bonian was surprised, he didn't believe Lin Jue's exaggeration.

Lin Jue said: "Second uncle, do you want to listen?" If you want to listen to me, you will say, if you don't want to hear it, then stop here, and I will not say a word. But I want to remind the second uncle that once the second uncle decides to listen to this, there is no way back, because what you hear will make you have to make some decisions. ”

Lin Bonian frowned and said: "Lin Jue, Hugh is alarmist, what's the matter, say it quickly." ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Okay, the second uncle is willing to listen, then I'll tell the second uncle." I am afraid that there are no more than three people who know about this matter besides me. Second uncle, do you remember what I said last night? What about the plaque of the 'House of Loyalty', which is blessed by God? I beg you not to hang that plaque. ”

Lin Bonian's eyes lit up and said, "I just want to ask you today, what do you mean by those words?" What does it mean to hang it up and not take it off? What do you mean? ”

Lin Jue said: "It's related to what I want to tell the second uncle." My Lin family can't hang this plaque, because once the plaque is hung, my Lin family will be a loyal family in the eyes of the world. However, some people in my Lin family were disloyal and unjust, committed heinous crimes, colluded with pirates for more than ten years, and funded pirates to cause trouble. Second uncle, do you think this plaque can be hung on the lintel? This is a great crime of deception. This charge alone should be all over the place. Not to mention the great crime of communicating with pirates? Together, the nine clans are afraid that they are not wronged. ”

"What! What did you say! Lin Bonian's body shook in shock, and he knocked over the teacup with a clatter, and the expression on his face was as frightened and unbelieving as if he had seen a ghost.

"Second uncle. Please keep your voice down. This must not be publicized. Lin Jue said softly.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on? Who are you talking about? Lin Jue, I can warn you, these words can't be said nonsense, if you talk nonsense, I will order someone to kill you immediately. There's a limit to what you're messing around. Lin Bonian shouted incoherently in a low voice.

Lin Jue sighed, got up and came to Lin Bonian's side, starting from the robbery of the birthday ceremony, one by one, until the extermination of the bandits and the capture of Xu Xing The truth learned from Xu Xing's mouth, the implications and details were clearly stated one by one.

Lin Bonian's whole person was stupid, his body seemed to be drained of strength, he couldn't even lift his hands because he was trembling, and he couldn't even breathe when he was nervous.

"You...... You...... Is all this true? You...... Don't talk nonsense, this is going to punish the Nine Clans. Lin Bonian muttered repeatedly. Large drops of sweat rolled down his face.

Lin Jue said softly: "Second uncle, how can I talk nonsense about such a thing, am I crazy?" Because of the importance of the matter, I couldn't sleep at night or eat for nearly a month after returning from the bandits. I don't know what to do? As soon as this incident was exposed, no one in my Lin family was spared. However, what happened on the island has aroused the suspicion of the prince and the prefect Yan, and it is impossible to hide this matter by exposing the battle plan in detail, which has led to the disclosure of my identity on the island. Governor Yan has already begun to investigate this matter, and if this matter is seriously investigated, it should not be difficult. I'm afraid that if we don't come up with a solution, it will be too late. ”

Lin Bonian wiped his face with his sleeves, and his cuffs were wet with sweat.

"Didn't you report it to the head of the house?"

"Second uncle, how dare I report to the head of the family? Although I believe that the head of the family must not know about this, this matter involves the eldest son, who is the eldest son who is most valued by the head of the family. Speaking in my capacity, will the head of the family believe it? And I don't have any other evidence other than listening to Xu Xing's words. The head of the family will think that I am deliberately causing trouble again, and will punish me severely. I'm not afraid of being punished by family law, and I'm not afraid of being expelled from the Lin family, but this matter can't be resolved, and that's the crux of the matter. It just so happened that the second uncle was sent back to Hangzhou as a proclamator, and I thought about it that this matter must be reported to the second uncle, and the second uncle was well-informed and should have a decision. That's the real reason why I'm here to see Uncle Er. Second uncle, what do you think we should do about this? The matter is urgent. ”

Lin Bonian stood up with the table, his legs were weak and he almost fell, and he was busy holding on to the table and gasping for a few breaths. After closing his eyes and calming down, Lin Bo began to pace, from the door to the incense case, a short distance of a dozen steps and walked dozens of back and forth. The room was silent, except for the sound of Lin Bonian's heavy bellows-like breathing, and the monotonous and disturbing clatter of his clogs.

Lin Jue stood there quietly, looking at the courtyard scene under the scorching sun outside the window. There, the sun was intense, and the flowers and trees in the flower beds were wilting and dry, as if they were about to die. The sound of cicadas chirping in the trees is harsh and restless, making people feel depressed.

"Lin Jue......" Lin Bonian finally stopped and said in a dumb voice.

"Second uncle, I'll listen."

"Lin Jue, this matter ...... I think it needs to be confirmed. Although according to what you said, this matter is probably ...... I'm afraid it's eight or nine. But we always need to prove it, otherwise we can't do it. After all, Lin Ke is the son of the head of the long house, and the successor of the future head of the family, if there is no evidence to prove it, it will not work. Even if I go to tell the head of the house, I need evidence. Lin Bonian groaned.

Lin Jue nodded and said: "What the second uncle said is true, but at that time, I was afraid that Xu Xing would talk nonsense after being captured, so I killed Xu Xing and killed him, and now only Hai Dongqing is the only person who knows." It's hard to get proof. But time waits for no one. If I can find conclusive evidence, why should I delay for nearly a month? Every day I wait, the investigation of the Yan Governor's Mansion will go further, and the Lin family will be one step more dangerous, and I am also very anxious. ”

"I understand, I understand. What should I do about this? Ay! How can this be born? What did my Lin family do to offend the gods, and how did they give birth to such a catastrophe. What to do? What to do? Lin Bonian rubbed his hands, frowned, and turned around anxiously.

Lin Jue observed the words and felt that the time had come. He said softly: "Second uncle, the eldest prince went to look for me in the morning." ”

"Huh? Did he look for you? So what's going on? Lin Bonian tilted his head and asked.

"He tested me, and he became suspicious of what I said last night." Lin Juedao.

Lin Bonian was stunned for a moment, stomped his feet and said: "Yes, you talked like that last night, no one was puzzled, and he should ask you." ”

Lin Jue said: "Second uncle, he invited me to go to the other garden for a gathering tonight." I think I should have a showdown with him tonight. ”

"No, no, no, if you don't succeed, you don't have evidence, how can you have a showdown? Isn't that nonsense? Lin Bonian waved his hand again and again.

"Second uncle, he doesn't know that I have no evidence. He invited me to go to the other garden, and I am afraid that it was also a bit of an attempt. Didn't the second uncle say that he wanted evidence? So, tonight I want to ask the second uncle to go to the other garden as well, but don't show up, and listen to what I have to say to him. Best...... The second uncle can invite the head of the family to go with him. If the head of the family and the second uncle heard the eldest prince's own admission, I don't know if it is conclusive evidence. ”

Lin Bonian looked at Lin Jue in surprise, and he immediately understood what Lin Jue meant. Lin Jue wanted to get out of Lin Ke's mouth and let him admit the fact of the banditry himself. And if the eldest brother heard these words with him, it would be irrefutable.

Lin Jue...... Do you really want to do that? ”

"Second uncle, do you think there is anything else you can do now? Are we going to sit back and wait? Waiting for the Lin family to be beheaded all over the house? Destroy the whole race? ”

"Of course not, perhaps, it's a good idea. It's just that...... Just ......"

"The second uncle wants to say, how to deal with the aftermath of this matter, right? Even if the eldest prince admits it himself, he can't deal with the aftermath, right? In fact...... The head of the house is present, and that is the business of the head of the house. I think the head of the family should have his decision. In fact...... Everyone knew in their hearts how to make this matter not cause danger to the Lin family, and the head of the family also understood it in his heart. ”

"yes, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that the head of the family won't be ruthless. Lin Bonian shook his head and said.

Lin Jue said softly: "No one can be ruthless, the second uncle doesn't want to see this, and I don't want to see this, but ...... Reality forced us to make a decision, and that was the life of hundreds of people in the Lin family. ”

Lin Bonian nodded slowly, gritted his teeth and said: "What you said is that no matter who you are, it can't be compared with the lives of all the Lin family and the lintel inherited by the Lin family for hundreds of years." ”

Lin Jue said: "What the second uncle said is right, everything is for the Lin family." Also, there's another sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Lin Bonian frowned and said, "You have said everything, what else can't you say?" ”

Lin Jue said: "Second uncle, my nephew said something rebellious. Under the rule of the head of the family, the Lin family is in chaos, and if the matter of the eldest son's bandit is confirmed tonight, the head of the family will not be able to get rid of it. If...... If tonight's outcome was what we expected, what would the head of the house think? If...... If he has to take measures to deal with the eldest son, what will the head of the family do in the future? How do you and I deal with the head of the house? After all...... After all...... That's his son. ”

Lin Bonian frowned and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Lin Jue said: "Second uncle, what I want to say is that the Lin family can't go on like this, and the second uncle must come out and take responsibility." Under the auspices of the head of the family, the Lin family will not develop, and it can't go on like this. I hope that the second uncle can plan for the future of the Lin family, and can no longer ignore it. Lin Ke's affairs and all kinds of things that happened in the family show that the head of the family is afraid that he is not the best person to lead the Lin family forward. Since this is the case, the Lin family needs to change the person at the helm, and the capable one will live there, and the second uncle is the best candidate. ”

"You...... You want me to ...... Took the position of head of the family? Lin Bonian was stunned.

"No, if the head of the family realizes this, he will give it to you. I hope that the head of the family can come to his senses, but if the head of the family can't wake up, I hope that the second uncle will stand up and take responsibility. I know that the second uncle and the head of the family have a deep brotherhood, and it is very difficult to do this, but it is still the same sentence, everything is for the Lin family. Could it be that the second uncle thinks that the crime of being so confused that even his son colluded with bandits and caused the Lin family to almost collapse is not enough to explain the dereliction of duty of the head of the family? If the second uncle thinks that what I said is nonsense, then I am talking nonsense. ”

Lin Bonian stood there stunned, his heart was in turmoil. On the one hand, it's not that he doesn't have the heart to be the head of the house, it's just that he never shows it. On the other hand, the eldest brother is really very good to himself, and he really can't do it. But what Lin Jue said may not be unreasonable. If what is said today is true, it means that the eldest brother, the head of the family, is incompetent. If this does not allow him to step down, there may be more leaks and more disasters in the future. The future of the Lin family may be confused.

"Second uncle, let me make it clear to you, after this incident, if the head of the family is still the same, I will withdraw from the Lin family, change my mother's surname, and break off with the Lin family from now on. Because I don't see any hope. I don't want to see the head of the family still being harsh on the outside brothers, and I don't want the head of the family to pass on the position to Lin Song and them in the future, their reputation and ability are even less worthy of being the head of the house, and the Lin family is in their hands, and there is no hope at all. However, if the second uncle can come forward, the Lin family may have a future, and Lin Jue will fully support the second uncle. ”

"Lin Jue, you...... Don't be so extreme. What can you do if you leave the Lin family, can you change the fact that you have the blood of the Lin family in your body? Lin Bonian frowned.

"At least out of sight is pure. I don't want to see these people messing around anymore. I couldn't help but say it, but I was soft-spoken, and I was even more isolated when I said it, so I simply gave it up. ”

Lin Bonian frowned and was silent.

"The second uncle also knows that I have some friendship with the prince and the Yan Governor's Mansion, I didn't want to borrow their light, but if the Lin family has hope, I already plan to do my best to have a good relationship with them. I am a proud person, and I disdain to benefit the Lin family through this kind of behavior, but I am willing to do it for the sake of the Lin family. However, since the Lin family has disappointed me, there is no need for me to grovel to the Liang Wangfu again. That's fine, it's something I don't want to do. Lin Jue said softly.

Lin Bonian's heart moved, and he asked in a deep voice: "You mean, if I am the head of the family, you are willing to have a good relationship with King Liang for the Lin family?" Looking for a backer for the Lin family? ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "Yes, I am willing to do this." I think this is also what the second uncle wants. Let's tell you the truth to the second uncle, Liang Wangye once talked to me about what the second uncle did in the capital, and he knew the second uncle's efforts in the capital. But King Liang said that silver can't solve the problem, not only can it not solve the problem, but the bribery of the silver will also become a handle. He thinks that my Lin family's strategy is wrong, and the most important mistake of the Lin family is not finding a backer. He even prophesied that if my Lin family could not understand this, they would become a victim of dumping in the future. He said this when he invited me to be his royal guest, but I did not agree with him at the time, believing that he was just a threatening remark to force me to obey. But then the more I thought about it, the more I felt that his words made sense. The second uncle must also feel the same way. ”

Lin Bonian nodded silently, he was the most experienced. Silver does work, but it's not everything. In the capital, he tried his best to follow the path of Lu Zhongtian or Yang Jun, but found that in their eyes, silver was no longer a bargaining chip at all. What they need is a helper who can help them, and his Lin family is obviously not qualified. It took him a lot of effort to barely maintain his position in the Yamen of the Third Division, but this was far from enough.

The yamen of the three divisions has long since declined, and even the words of Zhang Jun, the envoy of the three divisions, are far from being as effective as the officials in the two prefectures. In the past ten years, the Sansi Yamen has long been reduced to the level of a second-rate yamen, and its influence in the DPRK and China is very small. It has been a long time since I wanted to leave the Sansi Yamen and squeeze into the two mansions, but there is no way at all, just because there is no one to speak for me, and no one is really supportive. If this continues, there is only one result, and that is not to advance but to retreat. Soon after, the evaluation of officials will begin again, and it may not be possible to guarantee that he can keep the position of deputy envoy of the third department.

But if you can climb the backer of King Liang, it will definitely be extremely beneficial to the Lin family and yourself. Lin Jue's words had a great temptation to Lin Bonian and set off huge waves in his heart.

The uncle and nephew suddenly fell silent.

Outside, the wind blew through the treetops, and the leaves rattled. A nest fell from a tree, and several fledgling young birds fell to the ground. Out of nowhere, two cats burst out of nowhere and bit the young birds with lightning speed. The chirping of the young birds is terrible, and their parents are wailing and flying in the air, but there is nothing they can do. Watch it all happen.

Lin Jue and Lin Bonian both witnessed this scene.

Lin Jue said softly: "Under the nest, there are no eggs." This is a world of the jungle, and if you are not strong, you can only be eaten. The second uncle should have seen a lot in the capital, and he should know more about the things in the officialdom than his nephew. Just like this bird, the nest is not strong, the feather is not abundant, how to stand on the branches? Sometimes there are things that you don't want to do, but you can't help but do them. Just like the matter of my Lin family, if we don't act, the Lin family will sink. For example, tonight, I don't go to see the eldest prince and pretend that I don't know anything, and I can live a miserable life. But when one day the paper can't hold the fire, and the Lin family is all dragged down by this matter, will we regret today's inaction? ”

Lin Bonian was frightened and speechless for a long time.

……

After the conversation that afternoon, although Lin Bonian did not make a formal statement on the spot, he asked Lin Boyong to go to the other garden with him for a night under the pretext that he wanted to go to the other garden to be quiet and quiet. Lin Boyong did not doubt him, and then witnessed the showdown between Lin Ke and Lin Jue. This is actually to take action in favor of Lin Jue's proposal, and after that, things have gone to an irreversible situation step by step.

After Lin Ke's death, Lin Jue and Lin Bonian had another long talk, and this time it was Lin Bonian who took the initiative to talk to Lin Jue. The two of them made a plan to change the status quo of the Lin family in front of Lin Ke's spirit. Lin Bonian seems to be incompetent, but in fact, his heart is extremely delicate, and he proposed to test whether Lin Boyong has woken up in the name of recommending Lin Jue to be the chief steward. If Lin Boyong still hasn't woken up, the two will join forces to perform a 'forced palace' drama. That's why there was a good scene in the ship's compound. As for Lin Boyong, who actually sent the head of the family to Lin Bonian, it was indeed an unexpected joy. Originally, Lin Bonian and Lin Jue's plan was even more radical. If Lin Boyong refuses to give up the head of the family, Lin Bonian will come forward to convene a meeting of hundreds of people in the clan, and consult at the clan assembly, compare the ancestral precepts one by one, and point out the mistakes of Lin Boyong and Changfang one by one, so as to remove Lin Boyong, the head of the Lin family, in the form of a referendum.

If this method does not work, Lin Bonian will choose to join forces with the third room to take back the second and third room properties, forcing Lin Boyong to give in. But this is the worst way to do it, it will divide the Lin family, and this is the last thing they want to do.
