Chapter 48: Secret of the Night
(The first update, ask for a red ticket)
"In the middle of the night, there is nothing to do, and no one around is allowed to follow, sneaking to the mountaintop Zen Temple, if others ask why Lord Lin was injured, this has to make up an excuse!" Xiaoman carefully bandaged Lin Lian's wounds, and his mouth was not idle to ridicule him.
Seeing that Lin Lian's injury was not serious, the left palm and left armpit were cut, and the bleeding had stopped at this time, Liu Yue'er had nothing to worry about, listening to Xiaoman's sarcasm about Lin Lian, she only pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "If it weren't for his ghost in his heart, the lives of the aunts and sisters-in-law of the luxury family would really be hanging in the balanceβit's really strange, how did the heart of the luxury family grow?" β
"Why don't they men have the ability, and they have to take two women to be angry with them!" At the mention of this, Xiaoman's resistance to the fox spirit was a little lighter, and he was upset for his aunt and sister-in-law, and his actions were inevitably heavier.
"Ahh Lin Jian couldn't bear the pain and shouted, "Lighter, it hurts!" β
"Why didn't I see you crying out in pain just now?" Xiao Man raised his head and stared at Lin Lian's eyes, "The blood just now was dripping like water on the eaves, I didn't see you crying pain, why are you crying out in pain now?" The mouth was unforgiving, but his subordinates were afraid of touching Lin Bin's wound again, so his movements became lighter, and his eyes looked at Lin Bin's wound again, regardless of what Lin Tie was thinking in his heart, while treating his wound, he talked to Liu Yue'er, "It's really strange, Sister Yue'er, what do you say that the extravagant family is spending so much effort to take the lives of the two of them?" This time, I lost two people here in vain. β
"If a woman's name is ruined, it's worthless......" Liu Yue'er sighed lightly, she had been a widow for several years and suffered a lot, and she had the most profound experience of this.
Last year, the Donghai invaded the prefectures and counties of Taihu Lake, plundering and raping countless women in Pingjiang and Danyang. Lin Lian booby-trapped and killed Haikou who went out to sea from the mouth of the river on Xisha Island, and saved three or four hundred women. Lin Jian secretly informed their families that only 12 out of 10 of the robbed women were actually taken away by their families, and the others were abandoned on Xisha Island - the fundamental reason behind this was the woman's honor.
The remarriage of widows is also allowed by law in the world, but there is a festival hall in Chongzhou County dedicated to taking in widows.
It is said to be a prison for young widows, and the moral people of the county send the newly widowed young women to live in prison until they are old and decrepit, with the purpose of prohibiting widows from remarrying.
The more than 100 women currently detained in Jieyitang, in addition to some of them are sent by their husbands' families and husbands, most of them are sent by their parents' relatives - Lin Jian was unbelievable when he first heard that there was such a Jieyi Hall in Chongzhou County, and then he was helpless when he thought about it. Men marrying wives and concubines, and prostitutes for fun are not in the way, but widows remarrying are in the way of the door, which is the biggest truth in the world - to put it bluntly, women in the world are just accessories of men, and the more powerful the family, the more serious this phenomenon is, and beautiful women are also favored to play with pets - Lin Lianxin always thinks about finding an opportunity to abolish this ghost Laozi Festival in the future.
Even if the sister-in-law of the luxury family rescues the luxury family, in terms of the current etiquette law, she should also take the initiative to "martyr" to protect the family reputation of her husband's family and her mother's family. Even if she steals her life and doesn't go to "martyrdom", Song Jia has to strip her of the position of her wife and become a slave concubine, and she wants her sister-in-law to be alone for life, and it is impossible to marry someone else, at least not to marry someone who is the right person - this is the etiquette.
What's more, the aunt and sister-in-law of the luxury family are imprisoned on the top of the mountain, except for the assassination of sending one or two people to sneak in, how can they be easily rescued?
"Isn't that a chicken stolen yet?" Xiao Man pouted and said, "If the aunt of the luxury family loses her life like this, it is really unjust, and she also caused her son to lose a handful of rice miles." β
Liu Yue'er couldn't help but chuckle out loud, slapped Xiaoman on the back, and didn't let her talk nonsense.
Lin was angry, and he couldn't say what he was suffering from, so he only looked at the beeping oil lamp with a sideways face and smirked twice, and raised his arm to let Xiao Man take care of the wound under his armpit for him.
In the middle of the night, the aunt and sister-in-law of the luxury family were assassinated, but he was the first to rush in to save people before the female guard on duty, and there were a hundred mouths that could not be distinguished.
One Assassin died on the spot, and the other Assassin was too badly injured to lose too much blood to get anything out of his mouth - both of them were dead soldiers sent by the extravagant family, and they were captured in defeat, and for them, death was a better option than not death.
Lin Jian was worried that there were assassins hidden in the mountains, so he transferred all the guards to search the mountains, and it was impossible to stop in the middle of the night. Lin Jian asked Sun Wenwan to announce internally that he was assassinated on the top of the mountain, and the news of the extravagant aunt's imprisonment in the Zen monastery was made public. In addition to the palm of his left hand, his left armpit was also injured, and he didn't feel anything during the fight, so it was really inconvenient to walk down the mountain to treat at this time, so he stayed in this mountaintop meditation monastery.
"Your Excellency!" Sun Wenwan said outside.
"What's the matter, come in and talk about it?" Lin Jian said.
Sun Wenwan pushed the door in, her eyes fell on Lin Bin's naked, half-gauze upper body, then moved elsewhere, and said: "The young lady wants to come over to thank you, wait outside the courtyard, and ask Wenwan to come over and pass on the ......."
"You take her to wait in the courtyard, I'll clean up here and ......go over," Lin Jian said.
Xiaoman also paid attention not to talk nonsense in front of others, and when Sun Wenwan went out, his small mouth was unforgiving, he smashed his mouth, and said to Liu Yue'er: "Tsk, it seems that this handful of rice has not been eroded in vain...... and sighed again, "Pity me for my life as a maid, maybe in two days I will listen to one more person!" β
"Sharp teeth, be careful when the little mouth is sewn up," Liu Yue'er smiled and pinched Xiao Man's greasy face, and waited for Lin Tie to wear it, although she was teaching Xiao Man a lesson in her mouth, when she was waiting for Lin Tie to wear a gown, she couldn't help but persuade softly, "If you want to bring in the little lady from a luxurious family, I'm afraid it won't have a good impact, why don't you ask Cao Ye and Uncle Mengde their opinions?" β
Lin Jian almost choked out his internal injuries, it was really yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, it was not and, even Liu Yue'er and Xiaoman didn't believe that he was innocent, and they wanted others to believe that he had no ghosts in his heart when he climbed the mountain late at night?
"It's not what you think, what are you thinking!" Lin Lian feigned a calm face with anger, took the saber on the table and tied it around his waist, and the wound under his armpit hurt, "It is said that the daughter who marries out will spill the water." However, Song Jia, a woman in the Song family, at least will not have no status at all before she gets married - don't follow others to get involved in these things! "I didn't look at Yue'er and Xiaoman's second daughter, pushed the door and walked out, and went to the courtyard to see Song Jia.
Lin Jian didn't expect that the luxury family would send someone to kill Song Jia before, but when it happened, he didn't feel anything particularly surprised.
************
Song Jia looked at the candle flame a little distracted, listened to the carved wooden door squeak open, and was slightly stunned for a while before coming back to her senses, standing up to restrain Lin Tie: "The adult sacrificed herself to save her, and the little woman was grateful......"
Even if Song Jia is imprisoned in the mountain Zen monastery, she is also rich and beautiful, full of radiance, and has an aggressive beauty, but at this time she looks haggard and her eyes are gloomy, saying that she came to thank her for saving her life, but also to cheer up her spirit, and there is a kind of delicate beauty that is difficult to appear in her on weekdays; The tone of her voice was completely like a different person, and it could be seen that she was deeply shocked.
Lin Jian moved his gaze from Song Jia's face to the head of the oil candle lamp, and said, "The assassin may be sent by the son of a luxury family, and the young lady doesn't need to think about it......"
"Adults don't need to comfort the little girl," Song Jia said quietly, "From the seventeenth to the top of the mountain today, twenty days have passed, if the extravagant flying bear is arbitrary, and we two weak women can't be allowed to live in the world and disgrace the luxury family, why do we need to delay it until today?" It is also the slave concubine who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and should have been 'martyred' for the luxury family and the young marquis when the adults took Zilang Mountain, so as to protect their reputation, but they are greedy and dragged on to this day, and they have to send someone to help us be martyred......"
Lin Jian sighed lightly, it's not good for a woman's brain to be too smart, Song Canon has considered the cause and effect relationship before and after, and it is useless for others to say anything comforting.
Even if the assassin was sent by Luxury Flying Bear, Song Jia was the wife of Luxury Flying Tiger, and Luxury Mingyue was Luxury Flying Tiger's half-sister, how could Luxury Flying Bear send assassins without Luxury Flying Tiger's acquiescence?
Even if the assassin was sent by the head of the luxury family, Jin Anhou Luwenzhuang, he had to ask his second son's opinion, otherwise this was the root cause of the hatred between the father and son of the luxury family, and the brother's eye.
Luxury Feihu is not a three-year-old child, although his status in the luxury family is not as important as that of the eldest son, Luxury Feixiong, but he also has a pivotal position.
"What are the plans of the young lady, why don't I send someone to send the young lady back to Jin'an secretly?" Lin Lian's gaze shifted from the light of the oil candle to Song Jia's haggard but more beautiful face, and asked coldly.
Song Jia glanced up at Lin Lian, lowered her head again, and said, "Adults think that the Song family can have a place where the little girl can hide?" The little woman only asked the adults to do one more good deed: lend me a piece of white silk. After my death, if the adults are truly benevolent, then beg to send Mingyue back to the luxury family, and the luxury family will never bear to harm her life again. β
Lin Jian could see that Song Jia looked up at him with that kind of vigilant look, and was secretly surprised, or because this woman was emotional, she would be a little lax, but she didn't expect that she still had the strength to fight with herself.
Lin Lian gave Sun Wenwan a look and asked her to go out to cover the courtyard and leave him to talk to Song Jia secretly. After Sun Wenwan left, Lin Jian would also take off the veil of warmth, stared at Song Jia's eyes, and asked, "Does the Song family really want to go dark with the luxury family?" The young lady is smart and wise, and if she wants to come to the Song family, she must be a resourceful and calculating person, how can she not see through the general trend! β
"The Song family is just a lonely sail in the angry sea, eventful, and only wants the whole family." Song Jia raised her head and glanced at Lin Jian faintly, and only said this, and then refused to say anything, the meaning of the words was nothing more than to say, even if the luxury family is not worthy of the trust of the Song family, there is no one else in the world who is more worthy of the trust of the Song family than the luxury family, in such a world, some people and some families have no choice.
