Chapter 274: A Night of Chaos (Form 2)
Lin Jue sneered: "You are reasonable. However, my identity on Guishan Island has also been recognized, so naturally you have reported the news? ”
"It's me, you go to Guishan Island to die, and I can't do it. I can't let you break things. It's a pity that you told your dad about your plan, and after my dad told me, I was busy sending news to Guishan Island, but I was a step late, and you actually got it. I have to admire that you still have some ability. Lin Ke smacked his lips with regret.
"Okay, here's one piece. The second thing is that in order to survive, you wrote a letter of guarantee with the pirates to provide them with supplies and money. For so many years, how did you hide from the head of the family and do not know it? Does not the head of the house check the accounts? Unconscious? Lin Jue asked.
"Lin Jue, as long as you want to do one thing, you can always come up with a seamless way. There are dozens of pirates in my Lin family's ship, and two ships are specially designed to transport food and supplies to sea. I am in charge of the ship's affairs, how does the head of the family know? These people all fled some time ago, because you exterminated the Peach Blossom Island bandits, they were scared and all fled. As for the accounts of coming and going, this is easier to handle. My Lin family sprinkles a lot of silver every year, not to mention anything else, the second uncle in the capital alone has to give him a large amount of silver as a gift every year. Part of the silver was posted in the name of the second uncle, as well as the gifts from Hangzhou officials and officials from various yamen on the Liangzhejiang Road, which can be recorded as names. Add a little on this head and a little on that head, and the total is only tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it will pass. Besides, over the years, if it weren't for me, how could my Lin family be where it is today? Daddy knew this, so how could he come and scrutinize my accounts? ”
"I see. Yes, the Lin family has become one of the top businessmen in Hangzhou in the past ten years, and it can be said that it has been a smooth journey, and you have contributed a lot. Lin Jue teased.
"That's natural, I don't dare to say it's all my credit, but my credit is also seventy percent." Lin Ke said proudly.
"Yes, you colluded with Hai Dongqing, Hai Dongqing sent someone to assassinate your business opponent for you, and the Lin family proudly annexed other people's properties, these are naturally your credits." Lin Jue sneered.
"Huh? You know that. It seems that Xu Xing told a lot. You know all this, so I can't keep you. Lin Ke gritted his teeth.
"One last question. Are you the only one who has an affair with the bandits, or have you dragged the second son and the third son into the water? Is there any collusion between the Lin family and the pirates? In the government, do you still buy any eyeliner? ”
"How can they communicate with the pirates? What did you take me for? They don't know my secrets, and I won't let them know. The second and third brothers have no skills, they only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and they can't make big things. These things are known to them, but they will do great things. They just don't like you. The Lin family has nothing to do with other bandits, you don't think that the Lin family is all bandits. As for the government, I've made some friends, but do you think I'm stupid enough to take a big risk and drag them into the water? If they want to get a benefit, I just have to spend a few taels of silver to invite them to eat, drink, and be merry, and they will tell me anything, and I don't even have to ask more. Those plans of yours are not too secret, and there are too many people who know about them, so I don't have to bother too much to find out the news. ”
Lin Jue nodded slightly and said, "I understand, my words are finished." One thing I have to tell you is that it's not like no one knows your secret when you killed me. ”
"I know, but Hai Dongqing won't expose me, I've told the reason." Lin Ke said nonchalantly.
"I'm not talking about Hai Dongqing, there is another person who interrogates Xu Xing with me, that is, Gao Muqing, the owner of the big village on Guishan Island, and she also knows this secret. You can kill me, but can you kill her? ”
Lin Ke was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "She also knows? Yes, you are not innocent with this female bandit, and she is desperate to go to the island for you, so she naturally knows it. This one...... It's a bit tricky. But...... In fact, it doesn't matter, it is said that she has now been forced by the imperial court to not know where to flee. Even if she speaks, it is just a bandit's bite, who will believe her. It's you who can't keep the most. ”
Lin Jue sighed: "I have to say, what you said is very reasonable. ”
Lin Ke smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, I have to think carefully, after all, I also carry my head to work." ”
Lin Jue sneered and said, "But, eldest prince, there is one thing you must not have calculated. ”
"What?" Lin Ke asked disappreciatively.
Lin Jue suddenly raised his arm slowly.
"You...... How can you still move? Lin Ke was shocked.
Lin Jue didn't answer, his left hand grabbed the cuff of his sagging right hand and squeezed it hard, and a piece of brown liquid flowed down, flowing all over the table.
"It's ...... What the? Lin Ke said in astonishment.
"There's something that grows in the sea called a sponge, you know? I went to the pirate den this time and found a bundle of these things, so I brought them home. I wanted to make a Simmons under the mat or something. This thing is very absorbent, and a small piece of water in a bowl of water will be sucked clean. I have this piece in my sleeve, which I specially asked Midori to sew on the inside for me. I covered my mouth with my sleeve when I was drinking, and I poured the drink into my sleeve, and it was all drained by this thing. You've been staring at me, but you haven't seen the slightest hint of a drunken drink, so you must have thought I drank it all. Sorry, I didn't drink a drop of two glasses of wine. So, I wasn't poisoned, so I was able to act. ”
Lin Jue said as he tore out a mess from his cuffs and threw it on the table, and the poisonous wine on the table was quickly sucked up by the sponge.
Lin Ke opened his mouth wide in shock, and nodded after a while: "Sure enough, I underestimated you, you came prepared." You know there's going to be a showdown today, right? ”
Lin Jue said: "Of course, if I said those things last night, you will definitely have some doubts. If you invite me to this remote place today, will you have any good intentions? Actually, whether it's poisonous or not, I'm not going to eat anything from you. ”
Lin Ke was stunned for a moment and sighed: "I really underestimated you, so you have a firearm in your hand, are you going to kill me?" ”
Lin Jue spread his hands and said, "I didn't bring a firearm, so how could I kill you." If I kill you, I won't be able to escape. Will the head of the house believe me? I just told him that they would never believe you if you had been in collusion with the pirates for more than ten years. I'm well aware. ”
Lin Ke laughed and said: "Even if you are self-aware, you also know that no one will believe what you say, and Daddy will not believe you at all." If you kill me, you won't survive. I forgot about that verse. Looks like you're a little more thoughtful than I am. ”
Lin Jue slowly got up and said, "I can't kill you, but I will tell the head of the family and the second uncle everything about tonight." They didn't care if they believed me or not, at least I did what I had to do. ”
Lin Ke shook his head and said, "Do you still want to go?" Since you can't kill me without a firearm, I'm going to kill you. How good it is for you to drink that poisonous wine, and everyone will end up clean, so you don't have to bother. But if you don't want to die obediently, then I can only use force. Things are always getting more and more troublesome, and well, I know that nothing is going well. ”
Lin Ke sighed and slowly got up, there was already a long sword in his hand that was shining with cold light, and the long sword had been hidden under the table for a long time, just in case.
"Big brother, you are afraid that I will not die, and you have made many preparations." Lin Jue also let out a long sigh.
"Lin Jue, I don't want to either. If you don't die, it's a huge threat to me, I'm sorry. Lin Ke stood up and slowly walked around the table with his long sword, forcing Lin Jue to the corner of the room.
Lin Jue slowly retreated, Lin Ke approached step by step with a sneer, the long sword in his hand flickering under the dim light. Lin Jue's eyes fell on the door, his hand reached to his waist, he didn't bring a firearm, he not only brought it, but also the gunpowder had already been fired. Today's trip was so dangerous, how could he allow himself to take such a risk unprepared. But he was waiting for others to appear, and if his plan was correct, they should have come to this palace long ago, and Lin Ke's words and deeds were all in their ears.
Lin Ke had already approached Lin Jue a few steps in front of him, and he was ready to slash and kill. Lin Jueye's hand had also tightened the cold handle of Wang Ba's box, ready to bombard this person before the other party rushed up. The hidden door opened without wind, and two black figures finally slowly appeared at the door. Lin Jue breathed a long sigh of relief and said in his heart: You can be regarded as showing up. Until the time comes for the sword to face each other, I am afraid that you will not come out.
Both of them were dressed in black robes at the door, perhaps not black, but just pitch black in the dim light. Their faces were pale, and under the contrast of the black robes, there was a sharp contrast, and they appeared bloodless.
"Cole, it's not ...... Stop it. An old voice shuddered and scolded.
Lin Ke looked back in amazement and shouted in panic: "Daddy......, second uncle......, you ...... How did you end up here. ”
The people who came were Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian. Both men turned pale and their expressions were gloomy and distorted.
"You bastard, you unscrupulous descendant of the Lin family...... Lin Boyong slowly shook his head and sighed: "I never thought that you would do such a stupid thing, you disappointed me too much, let me down too much." ”。
"Daddy...... I ...... "Lin Ke was at a loss, and he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he suddenly realized, pointed at Lin Jue and scolded sharply: "Lin Jue, you bastard, are you yin me." Isn't it ...... you?"
Lin Jue looked at him coldly and didn't speak. Lin Ke's reaction was quite fast, and he soon realized that this was a game done by Lin Jue, and he had fallen into the game.
