"Come on, the family law will serve. Lin Quanqian's family each had fifty wattles. From now on, Lin Quan is no longer in charge of the grain and oil shop, and it is not suitable for you to stay in Hangzhou anymore. The old man has found a place for you to go, Shaoxing Lin Family Boat Company lacks a shopkeeper, Lin Quan, you go there to do things. Lin Boyong said coldly.

Lin Quan was like ashes, looking up at Lin Boyong blankly. If you want to go to the small county town of Shaoxing to be the shopkeeper of the boat company, this is to get rid of yourself from the core of the Lin family's power. There is a precedent for this in the history of the Lin family. But the Lin family who was demoted out of Hangzhou basically meant that they had lost the trust of the head of the family. The reason why he gave a shopkeeper was that he had no power at all. What's more, it is a small place in Shaoxing, and there is no future at all. In other words, today's events have made him lose his high position in the Lin family.

"It's not fair. Head of the house, you have dealt with it unfairly. My husband is the eldest son of the third room, but because of such a thing, you kicked us out of Hangzhou to go to other places, do you want to swallow up my three-room family property? Qian shouted loudly.

"What did you say?" Lin Boyong was furious. The rest of the people in the hall also changed their faces. I'm afraid this Qian is crazy, and he even dares to say such a thing.

"Am I not right? The three-room property has a three-room property, and the big deal is that you divide the three-room property, and our three-room property is divided with you. We are not uncommon to see the signboard of your Lin family, my mother's family is not smaller than your Lin family. You are taking advantage of this family property that swallows three rooms from the head, don't think that I am a woman and I don't know. Lin Quan, you say something, your father-in-law is dead, and they are taking the opportunity to bully you. ”

"Bang, bang!" Lin Quan, who was angry and pale, finally couldn't help it, and slapped his head and face on Qian's face, scolding while beating: "You bastard woman, marrying you is really bad for eight lifetimes." I've put up with you too long. If it weren't for you, a woman, being rude and irritable, how would I have gone out to find a woman? If you weren't jealous, how could you be today? You slut, you are really hateful, and now you dare to say such things. How is my Lin family, it's your turn to be a slut? Do you want me to hand over the Lin family's property to your Qian family? Let me be a sinner of the Lin family, and let me be sorry for the ancestors of the Lin family? Bah! The beauty you want. ”

Qian cried while dodging: "I'm thinking about you, you are going to be kicked out of Hangzhou by them, and you have to speak for them." What do you end up with? ”

Lin Quan's hands hurt, he stood up panting, and said to Lin Boyong: "The head of the family, I officially request the head of the family today, I want to divorce this woman." I know that there is a lot of cooperation between the Qian family and my Lin family, but I can't stand this woman anymore. I am willing to accept the punishment of the head of the house, but I must divorce this woman before I leave, and I have had enough. ”

Lin Boyong looked at Lin Quan quietly, nodded slowly, and said: "Speaking of which, I am also to blame for this, it was the old man who made you marry the Qian family, and you were wronged for the sake of business compromise." The old man decided to agree with you to divorce the Qian family. ”

"Head of the house!" Lin Ke, Huang Changqing and others exclaimed.

Lin Boyong stretched out his hand to stop their words, and said in a deep voice: "The old man knows that he will offend the Qian family by doing this, and he is afraid that the cooperation with the Qian family in business will also have to part ways, or even become an opponent." But business is not the most important thing, how can my Lin family let such a woman stay in the house for the sake of business and make trouble. We had indulged too much before, and that's why we have what we are today. The woman is jealous and disruptive, and she is divorced from her relatives and has no children. There are already three rules of the seven outs, even if the Qian family makes trouble in the yamen, they can't refute it reasonably. The matter was decided. ”

The Qian family looked at Lin Quandao blankly: "You...... You're going to divorce me? ”

Lin Quan said angrily: "I have long wanted to divorce you, you woman is a harmful spirit." Go back and pack your things, I'll write you a letter of resignation, you give me a quick go. ”

Qian let out a loud 'ah' and fainted. She never thought that things would come to such a point. It was a great humiliation to be taken home by Hugh.

"Lin Quan, before your father died, I promised him to take good care of you and Lin Jue. But family law is family law after all. Today's incident is certainly inappropriate for the Qian family, but you are also responsible. Let you go to Shaoxing, but also let you avoid the limelight, so as not to be pointed at in Hangzhou. You have to think about it calmly yourself. I'll let you come back when the news is over. Don't listen to this woman's nonsense, in my eyes, whether it is the children of the second or third room, they are all treated equally. As I said earlier, the next generation of heads of the family is not the one who lives in a big house, but the virtuous and talented who are qualified to succeed him. Today, in front of everyone, the old man will say it again, lest you privately think that I am selfish. ”

Although Lin Quan was reluctant in his heart, he also knew that this matter could not be changed, and he could only accept the punishment. So he knelt down and kowtowed with a sad face: "Thank you to the head of the family, my nephew obeyed the order." ”

In the evening, Qian sat in the carriage with some clothes on his tear-stained face, carrying the letter of resignation written by Lin Quan in his arms. How could she have expected that things would turn out like this, and why would she end up like this? Lin Quan is so ruthless, and the Lin family is so ruthless, it is really unexpected.

Walking through the streets and alleys, when the lights were in place, she returned to her mother's house in the east of the city. When she saw her parents' surprised faces, Qian couldn't hold back any longer, and collapsed to the ground crying. After her father Qian Zhongze saw the letter of resignation, he scolded and tore the letter to shreds.

"Okay, you Lin Boyong, it is a great shame for my Qian family to treat my daughter like this. My Qian family and your Lin family don't share the same sky. ”

……

Lin Quan left Hangzhou the next morning for Shaoxing. Although I was unwilling, I was helpless. The words of the head of the family are iron orders, and he has to obey. But the good news is that he finally got rid of Qian's control, took Qian out of the house, and returned his freedom, which is what he never dreamed of doing. The mood at this time can be described as a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Huang Changqing personally sent Lin Quan on the boat, which made Lin Quan very moved. Before leaving, Huang Changqing pulled Lin Quan to a secluded place in the cabin to talk.

"Childe, don't blame the head of the family, you know he can't help it. Besides, what the head of the family said is also very clear, you went to Shaoxing this time just to avoid the limelight, don't be unhappy because of this matter. ”

"I know, how can I blame the head of the house. If you hate, you will hate that woman, and I will not be able to live in peace. Uncle Changqing, if you have a chance, say a few kind words for me, and let me go back to Hangzhou as soon as possible, okay? ”

"Don't worry, I will. By the way, I thought about it all night last night, and I have a lot of unanswered questions in my heart, and I want to ask you a few things to verify. ”

"What's the matter? Uncle Changqing asked. ”

"I find it strange how did Qian know about what you were doing outside? I know about it, but not many people in the house know about it. Even those who know about this know about it, they all know Qian's jealous nature, and they won't tell her. How did she know? Huang Changqing asked in a low voice.

Lin Quan scratched his head and frowned: "I also wonder, I haven't been known by her for two years, how can I suddenly know so much detail?" There was not the slightest sign of it. It stands to reason that if she had known about this a long time ago, she would never have been so calm, and I am afraid that she would have been restless for a long time. Yesterday I was in a hurry to get rid of her, and I forgot to ask her where she found out. When asked, she didn't want to say it. ”

Huang Changqing nodded and said, "That's why I think it's strange." This matter must have only been known to the Qian family yesterday, so she immediately brought people to make trouble. The person who leaked the news should have known that you were there at noon, so he told Qian. The question is, who would do that? Only me and the three sons of the big house know about this matter. I'm sure I won't say it, I asked the three sons of the big house separately last night, and they swore that it wasn't the news that they leaked. I don't believe it's them, because they've known about it for more than a day or two, and if they wanted to, they'd have done it a long time ago. ”

Lin Quan sighed: "Blame me for being unlucky, I don't know which villain I offended." A few cousins and Uncle Changqing, I have no doubt in the slightest. ”

Huang Changqing said: "I know. I want to ask you, have you offended anyone lately? This is very strange to me. Now that the matter is so big, it will even affect the cooperative relationship between the Lin family and the Qian family, and affect many businesses of the Lin family, I have to figure out this matter. ”

Lin Quan frowned and thought for a while, "Did you offend people?" Speak offensive words...... Recently, I have been having trouble with Lin Jue. ”

Huang Changqing was shocked and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Lin Quan didn't hide it, and told the bad intentions of breaking into Lin Jue's courtyard that day to Green Dance. also told Huang Changqing that Lin Jue was carrying an axe to intimidate himself. Even the things that he asked people to intercept Lin Jue halfway and were about to interrupt his hands and feet were all said. At this moment, Huang Changqing is Lin Quan's most trusted person, and he does not hide it at all.

Huang Changqing was stunned, and said after a long time: "Childe, forgive me for daring to guess, this matter may be related to Lin Jue." ”

Lin Quan was surprised: "How is it possible? He doesn't know what I'm doing outside, and he doesn't necessarily have the guts. ”

Huang Changqing shook his head and said, "I don't know why, I'm a little confused about Lin Jue now. Since that day of training, I have felt that he is not the timid man we always thought he was. Let's ask, which timid and fearful person would openly stand up for others in court training, and attacked me by the way, and even got rid of Xu Zimao? And just now you said that he actually carried an axe to scare you, is this still the work of a pure person? You didn't expect him to dare to do that. ”

"I really didn't expect it, it scared me out at the time. That's why I decided to punish him for this behavior. Because there was no evidence, I did not report the matter to the head of the family. Besides, I don't want outsiders to know about it, after all...... I went to his yard to find out about the green dance, and when I made a noise, the Qian family would be noisy, and the head of the family would also scold. ”

"So you hired someone to take revenge on him yourself?" Huang Changqing stared at Lin Quandao.

Lin Quan smacked his lips and said, "It's really inappropriate to do this, but it really me off that day." ”

Huang Changqing nodded. Suddenly, he said, "Have you ever wondered why you didn't succeed?" After all, Wan Songling was waiting for him on the road, how could he miss? ”

Lin Quan scolded: "A few fools can't do anything. But strangely, they didn't see him go down the mountain until it was dark, and they thought that he wouldn't go down the mountain, so they had to give up. ”

Huang Changqing shook his head and said, "I don't see it that way, I think Lin Jue must have noticed it, so you didn't succeed." Don't talk yet. Let's make an assumption. Suppose Lin Jue sensed that you had sent someone to intercept him on the mountain road, what would happen to him? ”

Lin Quan was stunned and said, "He will definitely take precautions carefully, and maybe he will wait for an opportunity to retaliate against me." ”

Huang Changqing nodded and said, "That's it." He hasn't been to Wansongling for the past few days, does this mean that he won't give you a chance to do it? If he knew about what you were doing outside, would he divulge it and retaliate? You don't have to think that he doesn't know what you're doing out there. In fact, his behavior was suspicious. In the past few days, he has been going to the spring tea village every day to drink tea, why is this? Chunlai Tea Village and Yingxiangju are only one road apart. I'm afraid his intention is to investigate your whereabouts. Based on what happened between you and him, I have to come to a conclusion. This matter may be what Lin Jue did secretly. ”

Lin Quan gasped, lowered his head and thought about it, as if Huang Changqing's analysis was irrefutable. If Lin Jue knew that he was going to be unfavorable to him, it was completely reasonable for him to fight back. The only reason that can be ruled out is the fact that he is not aware of the fact that he is outsourcing the maintenance of women. But Lin Jue's behavior of coming to the tea house for a few days made people think that he knew about it and was secretly observing himself. The whole thing was connected before and after, and it couldn't help but make Lin Quan's back chill.

"It really was him. This dog thing, is it not the opposite? Lin Quan scolded.

"You can't blame him, you bullied the maid in his house, and hired someone to break his hands and feet. It makes sense for him to fight back. Huang Changqing said softly.

"Uncle Changqing, how can you help him speak? No, I'm going to get this straight. This bastard is hurting me behind his back, how can I spare him? Lin Quan said angrily.

"Childe, don't be impatient. You can't go to him to theorize. for there is no evidence against him. Unless you're willing to make it public about the fact that you've hired a murderer to deal with him. Even so, there is only some causal connection, but no real evidence. No one knows if he revealed the news, no one knows if he went to Chunlai Tea House to keep an eye on your whereabouts, everything is the result of our analysis, but there is no evidence. If he denies it, no one can do anything to him. ”

"You mean, if he hurts me like this, I can only cover my mouth and suffer? I'm going to be kicked out of Hangzhou City, it's all his fault, I can only pretend I don't know? Lin Quan was furious.

"Childe, calm down. How can you be so angry? I'm here today to ask these words to get to the bottom of things. His actions have not only harmed you, but also caused great harm to the Lin family. As long as he convinces the head of the family to believe this, the head of the family will not spare him. But before that, we have to make him feel like we're unaware and make him smug. I understand your feelings, after all, it feels very bad to be toyed with by Lin Jue, but after this incident, can you still look down on him? He has quietly calculated you, and his scheming is by no means simple. ”

Lin Quan slowly calmed down, Huang Changqing was right, there was no evidence at this time, and he couldn't do anything to Lin Jue. On the contrary, if you make trouble, you will have to expose the matter of hiring a murderer, which is not good for yourself. This matter cannot come from the surface, it still has to be done in secret.

"Uncle Changqing, you're right, it's not appropriate to startle the snake in this matter, it's better to pretend that you don't know how to secretly catch him for revenge. Uncle Changqing was calculated by him, and now I am also calculated by him. Because of this incident, the cooperation between my Lin family and the Qian family has also parted ways, and I am afraid that they will become enemies in the future. This kid is dying. Once he is caught doing wrongdoing, Uncle Changqing must not be soft. I took out this bad breath for me. ”

"Don't worry, I'll take this breath for you." Huang Changqing swore solemnly.

……

After sending Lin Quan away, Huang Changqing returned to the Lin mansion, pondered alone in his residence for a long time, and then hurried to the back house of the compound.

Lin Boyong was in a bad mood because of yesterday's events, and was sitting in the study reading to relieve his mood, when he saw Huang Changqing coming in, Lin Boyong put down the book and asked, "Sent away?" ”

"Yes, send it away."

"Did you say anything to complain?"

"Not really, he knew he was doing it himself. But it looks quite pitiful. divorced his wife and left alone, which is also embarrassing. ”

Lin Boyong nodded and said, "Yes, let him come back in a few months." As for the wife's room, it's nothing. As a child of my Lin family, am you still afraid that there is no woman who can marry? ”

Huang Changqing nodded yes, hesitated for a moment and said, "Family master, Changqing has something that I don't know whether to talk about or not. ”

Lin Boyong smiled: "I know that you have something, and when you enter the door, you look worried." That's it. ”

Huang Changqing said in a low voice: "Family master, yesterday's incident, did the family master think that someone made a design from it?" ”

Lin Boyong was stunned for a moment, Huang Changqing leaned over and whispered in his ear, telling the news he had just gotten from Lin Quan's mouth and his own analysis and discussion. Lin Boyong listened, his whole face changed color, and his brows were twisted into a pimple.

"Are you serious?" Lin Boyong asked sternly.

"How dare Changqing talk nonsense, such a big thing, where Changqing dares to talk nonsense?" Huang Changqing said busily.

Lin Boyong slowly got up and paced, turned his head and asked, "Is Lin Quan really intending to do something to Lin Jue in Wansongling?" To break his hands and feet to make him disabled? ”

"It's true. This matter is not difficult to investigate, he said that his personal servant Ma Youcai hired a few thugs on the street to prepare for the move. Ma Youcai followed Lin Quan to Shaoxing, and sent someone to Shaoxing secretly to find Ma Youcai and asked. ”

Lin Boyong shouted coldly: "This bastard thing, I still have compassion for him. actually had evil thoughts about the Lin family itself, which is simply worse than a beast. ”

"So...... Changqing suggested that Lin Quan should not let him go back to Hangzhou, because there was more than enough success and failure, and his mind was not right. Sooner or later, something will happen when you return to Hangzhou. This time it was just right to get him away. Several sons of the long house have long been full of opinions about him. I can't do things well, and I like to point fingers. ”

Lin Boyong glanced at Huang Changqing coldly, and Huang Changqing hurriedly shut up and lowered his head.

Lin Boyong pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Then did Lin Jue really go to Chunlai Tea Village to spy on Lin Quan's whereabouts for a few days?" ”

"Master of the family, that's definitely the case. This matter is not difficult to verify, just send someone to the Chunlai Tea Village to ask the guys. The whole thing has a cause and effect, and all kinds of signs show that this is exactly what Lin Jue did. Of course, there is no definite evidence, and Changqing is just analyzing and speculating. Changqing didn't dare to talk nonsense, but this matter was too important, and Changqing had to explain it to the head of the family. ”

Lin Boyong nodded and said, "You did a good job." You go and collect evidence to verify them one by one. If it was really Lin Jue's doing, the Lin family would not tolerate him. Not only did he design his brother, but he also caused a huge loss to my Lin family. The old man was both angry and ashamed. The third brother died early, and the two sons left behind were so corrupted, which is really heart-wrenching. ”

"Don't be sad about the head of the house, the head of the house has painstakingly taught them, but if you want to become an adult, you still need to rely on yourself. It is not a bad thing to know their true colors one day sooner. At least don't be deceived. ”

Lin Boyong sighed and said softly: "It's really difficult, why is it so difficult." I, Lin Boyong, want to make the Lin family glorious again, why don't they want to work together? Go ahead, old man, be quiet. By the way, this matter is strictly confidential, and half a word is not allowed to be revealed until it is clarified. After all, everything is speculation, and the old man still hopes that this is not true. ”

"Yes!"
