(After a few boring chapters, it's time to get down to business.) ）

When Lin Boyong's father and son spoke, Lin Bonian was speechless by tapping his fingers on the side, as if he was thinking about something. Lin Boyong noticed this, thinking that Lin Bonian was unhappy, and said with a smile: "Second brother, don't keep tonight's events in mind, tonight is a happy day, you and my brother are reunited, I don't know how happy I am in my heart." In this way, let's go to the back house to set up wine, just you and me, let's talk while drinking, and these people in the province will come to disagree. I'm drunk, and we'll talk together tonight, but I have a stomach to tell you, and I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it for three days and three nights. ”

Lin Bonian smiled and said, "Big brother, don't drink the wine." I'm not unhappy about what just happened. It's just that I've been thinking about what Lin Jue said just now. Why did he just say that the plaque should not be hung, and if it is hung, it cannot be taken off, and what does this mean? ”

"No matter what he says, it's not his turn to call the shots on the Lin family's major affairs. This plaque should not only be hung, but also vigorous and lively, and should be known throughout the city. Fang shows the face of my Lin family. Lin Boyong shouted.

"Yes, what Daddy is talking about, what is he? He probably thought that he could call the shots in the current Lin family. Actually, he's nothing. Lin Song and Lin Run also echoed loudly.

Lin Bonian frowned and waved his hand: "Having said that, his words should mean something." Lin Jue can do so many great things, how can he say that he has no sense of proportion in what he says and does? The Holy Providence is such a glorious thing, why did he say that? I'm afraid there is something hidden in this, he didn't say everything. ”

Lin Boyong said: "What can be the secret?" ”

Lin Bonian pondered for a moment and said softly: "This plaque is given by the saint to praise my Lin family's loyalty." But in fact, we all understand that it is because of Lin Jue's work. However, what if someone in my Lin family is unfaithful and unjust? This plaque is hanged, and if something happens, wouldn't it be ...... Is it to make the saint not come to the stage? Isn't it a crime of deceit? ”

Lin Boyong's father and son's faces changed greatly, and they were speechless in shock. Lin Boyong smacked his lips and asked, "Bonian, what do you mean by this?" Who in my Lin family is disloyal and unjust? ”

Lin Bonian shook his head and said, "I'm just assuming." If you hang it up, you can't take it off, that's what Lin Jue said. That must mean something. He must have known something, but he didn't say it. Looks like I'm going to have to talk to him. I need to figure this out, and everything needs to be done carefully. After all, this is a major matter related to the Lin family, and it must not be sloppy. ”

Although Lin Boyong wanted to say that Lin Bonian was too delicate and cautious, but after thinking about it, Bonian had been rolling in a place like the capital for so many years, and he should not act without purpose. Moreover, thinking about how many times I have misjudged Lin Jue and misjudged my negligence many times in the past year, it can be said that I actually don't know Lin Jue at all. Maybe the second brother was right.

"That being the case, it's up to you to decide, and I'll be on your side no matter what."

"Thank you, big brother. Big brother, let's go. Lin Bonian stood up.

"Where?"

"Didn't my eldest brother say that he wanted to drink and talk with me alone, and he wanted to talk with me at night? How did you forget? I suddenly felt the urge to drink. Lin Bonian said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, hahaha. Changqing, ordered the second master of the house to set up another seat, and the second brother and I had to drink alone. Lin Boyong commanded with a smile.

Huang Changqing hurriedly agreed and sent someone to do it. Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian got up and left the table. The three brothers Lin Ke, Lin Song, and Lin Run hurriedly got up to send them off, and no one noticed that Lin Ke's expression was a little inexplicably nervous, and his fingers trembled slightly.

……

Under the lamp, Lin Jue sat quietly at the table. The tea sent by Lu Wu was already cold, but Lin Jue didn't take a sip. When Lu Wu saw Lin Jue coming back, she wanted to ask what the second master who came back from the capital said, and she wanted to ask what kind of holy decree the prince had received today. But seeing that Lin Jue was sitting in the lamp with a serious expression and pondering after he came back, he didn't dare to speak. She knew that every time Lin Jue sat under the lamp like this, it was actually the moment when Gongzi was thinking about something big and seemed to be about to make some major decisions.

Green Dance really knows Lin Jue very well, and Lin Jue has indeed made a major decision. Since the return of the bandits on Peach Blossom Island, he has experienced too much trouble. From a serious illness, to the changes on Guishan Island, to Gao Muqing's departure from him, almost nothing is smooth. However, compared to the other thing, these things can only be regarded as pediatrics.

That incident was what had been bothering Lin Jue, and he learned about Lin Ke's bandits from Xu Xing on Peach Blossom Island.

Lin Jue has thought many times about how to deal with this matter. This matter is actually very tricky, and it is not easy to deal with. As the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Ke has been a bandit for more than ten years and funded the growth of the bandits. And this matter can't be hidden, because although Xu Xing was killed, Xu Xing was not the only one who knew Lin Ke's identity. Hai Dongqing, and maybe anyone else, knew Lin Ke's secret.

Although Lin Jue has never said a word on this matter, the prince and Yan Zhengsu and Song Yanping have clearly raised this suspicion at the post-war summary meeting, and Yan Zhengsu said that he would investigate thoroughly. These people are not blind, from the fact that Lin Jue and the others suffered a leak of their identities on the island, as well as the weapons and materials stored on the island and even the oil and other things, it is easy to judge that the pirates are secretly supported. If you continue to investigate, you will definitely find out the results. Moreover, Hai Dongqing was ruined by himself, and tens of thousands of his subordinates were wiped out, if he was cornered, he would definitely shake Lin Ke out. It will still be exposed when the time comes.

Therefore, Lin Jue always thought that it was unrealistic to hide this matter, although Lin Jue had always wanted to protect Lin Ke, after all, he was the eldest son of the Lin family and the future head of the Lin family. If there is a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to protect Lin Ke, but also to calm this matter, Lin Jue will definitely do it without hesitation. It's a pity that Lin Jue couldn't find this way, or it was simply impossible.

At tonight's banquet, Lin Song's words suddenly made Lin Jue no longer entangled. Lin Jue is sincere, hoping that the Lin family can unite as one. The experience of the previous life told me that my fate was tied to the Lin family, and when the Lin family's giant ship sank, I would also suffer. Therefore, in all the previous things, although Lin Jue stirred up the Lin family, but externally, in the interests of the Lin family, Lin Jue did not do anything to damage the Lin family. On the contrary, for the fault of the Lin family, Lin Jue went to Guishan Island with his head, and because of this, he had to participate in the suppression of pirates and deal with the sequelae caused by this incident.

However, tonight was a disappointment. When Lin Song once again mentioned the things he had done to deal with Lin Quan before, Lin Jue suddenly found that even if he had done so much, in the eyes of those people, he was still an outsider. They are still entangled in their origin and status, entangled in the trivial things in the past, and worried about the small dissatisfaction they brought to them before. And Lin Jue is 100% sure that Lin Ke is the one who instilled these ideas in Lin Song and Lin Run.

The huge ship of the Lin family carried hundreds of people from the Lin family. Perhaps in Lin Boyong's view, the descendants are the core characters on this giant ship. If the ship deviates from direction and hits an iceberg, they blame the others on the boat for not paddling as hard as they can. However, in Lin Jue's view, the giant ship of the Lin family is about to hit the mountain, which is the problem of the helmsman, and it is actually the helmsman who needs to be replaced.

Since their pattern is so small, they deserve to be eliminated and abandoned. Because in Lin Jue's view, the lives of most people in the Lin family are the most important, and everyone must not suffer because of some people's mistakes.

At the banquet just now, Lin Jue finally abandoned his entanglement. If there is a cancer in the body, the tumor should be dug up and left there, which will harm other body organs and eventually lead to death. A woman's kindness is not advisable, not only to outsiders, but also to the Lin family.

It was precisely because of figuring out this section that Lin Jue, who had been entangled in how to solve Lin Ke's bandit after returning from the island, suddenly woke up as if he had been empowered. That's why he said that paragraph before leaving, the first half was a defense, and the second half was actually deliberately revealing something vaguely. That was not for Lin Song, nor for Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian, but actually for Lin Ke. Lin Jue believed that Lin Ke would not fail to hear his own voice, and Lin Jue just wanted him to know that he had mastered his secret.

……

At dawn the next morning, Lin Jue sat under the pear blossom tree with a book in his hand and read it in a loud voice. Lin Hu was ramming and eating the chopping wood, and from time to time he stopped the guy in his hand to listen to what the son was reading, but he didn't understand a word of what the son said, so he could only scratch his head and continue to chop wood. Midori was busy in the kitchen, poking her head out from time to time to see Childe reading, her face full of joy. Because Childe seems to be in a good mood today, and Childe hasn't studied for a long time.

However, this peaceful scene was soon shattered by a man walking in from outside the courtyard gate. Lin Hu stopped chopping wood and looked at the visitor cautiously. Although the person who came in was smiling, Lin Hu was still very nervous.

"Oh, what Yaxing, what about reading?" The person who came said with a smile.

Lin Jue put down the book in his hand and turned his head to look, only to see the eldest prince Lin Ke walking into the courtyard with a smile. Lin Jue smiled slightly, and said in his heart: Sure enough, Lin Ke was more urgent than he imagined, and he came really fast.

"The younger brother gives the elder brother a salute." Lin Jue stood up and saluted respectfully.

Lin Ke arched his hand and smiled: "Your own family, you don't have to be polite." Brother, this is hard work, am I bothering you? ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Brother smiled, the autumn is coming, and the homework is wasted. Green dance, hurry up for tea. ”

Green Dance poked her head out of the kitchen, and when she saw Lin Ke, she was so shocked that she almost lost the plate in her hand. Hurriedly whispered, made tea and delivered it, and fled in a hurry with his head down. The eldest prince is here, this must not be a good thing. As long as everyone in the main family came to this small courtyard, Green Dance was very nervous, and it was nothing good for them to come.

"Brother, please be seated, please have tea. I don't have any good tea here. Lin Jue said.

Lin Ke smiled and lifted his robe and sat down: "I don't pay attention to it, I don't have any insight into tea and wine, and I can't taste good or bad." You're the new tea that pays me tribute, and I don't taste any different from willow leaves, hahaha. ”

Lin Jue smiled out of politeness.

"What books are you reading? Listening to you read loudly outside, it must be a wonderful article. ”

"Oh, it's Mencius, sacrificing one's life for righteousness."

"Oh? Say what? Lin Ke asked casually.

Lin Jue smiled: "Fish, I can do whatever I want; Bear's paws, as well as I want. You can't have both, and you can't give up the fish and take the bear's paw. Life, what I want, righteousness, also what I want, you can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness are also. ”

Lin Ke nodded slightly and said, "Well, famous article." I don't read much, but I read this verse. Mencius said it well. ”

Lin Jue said: "Well, what he wants to say is a matter of trade-offs. But how easy is it to sacrifice one's life for righteousness? I don't know how many people have given up their righteousness and took their lives when faced with the choice of life and death. ”
