Lin rushed into the Taiwei's Mansion. Because the lower officials were not allowed to look around when entering the Shangguan's mansion, Lin Chong had to lower his head and follow the two Chengjue around in the Taiwei's Mansion. Finally, he came to a lobby. The Bureau asked Lin Chong to wait here and go in to report to Lieutenant Gao.
Lin Chong stood in front of the eaves with a sword in his arms. After waiting for several moments, no one came out. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. When he looked up, he saw four large characters "White Tiger Festival Hall" written on the plaque under the eaves.
Lin Chong was immediately shocked and suddenly woke up. The White Tiger Festival Hall was a place where major national military matters were discussed. No one was allowed to enter or leave without permission.
Lin Chong was panicking and was about to turn around and retreat when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps and someone shouting: "Lin Chong, you are so bold. You dare to hold a sharp weapon. So you entered the festival hall to assassinate me?"
When Lin Chong turned around to look, he saw that it was Taiwei Gao Qiu. Lin Chong's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something must be wrong. He quickly threw away the Qianlong sword, bowed his hand to Gao Qiu and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Today, two Chengju from the royal family sent a message to Lin Chong, saying that the Prime Minister ordered Lin Chong to bring the new sword into the palace for comparison."
"What kind of sword are you looking at?" Gao Qiu sneered and said, "What kind of sword do you have that I can look at? You said there were two Chengju who sent you a message. Where are those two people?"
Lin Chong said: "I went to the back hall."
"That's nonsense." Gao Qiu shouted sternly: "Why Chengju dares to enter the White Tiger Festival Hall of my Taiwei's mansion? A few days ago, you were wandering in front of the gate of my mansion with a knife, and I suspected that you were up to something evil. Today you are holding a sharp knife, so After entering the festival hall, his true colors have been exposed, and now he is still trying to make excuses. Someone, come here, capture this thief and send him to Kaifeng Mansion for justice."
As soon as Gao Qiu finished speaking, twenty or thirty military officers rushed out from the corridors on the left and right, pushed Lin Chong to the ground, and bound him with ropes. Lin Chong did not dare to struggle, so he had to let them control him.
When Lin Chong was tied up and sent to Kaifeng Mansion, the Kaifeng Governor immediately went to court for interrogation and asked the reason. After listening to Lin Chong's statement, the Governor already knew the truth in his heart.
The fact that Lin Chong's wife was molested by Gao Yanei was already known to everyone in Kaifeng Mansion, and who in the Kaifeng Mansion didn't know Lin Chong's character? They all knew that Gao Yanei wanted to taint Mrs. Lin, so he was unwilling to do so. , deeply resentful, but in order to fulfill his godson, Taiwei Gao Qiu ignored the king's law and used his power to bully others, thus framing Lin Chong.
The Kaifeng governor wanted to protect Lin Chong, but he was afraid of Gao Qiu's power, so he hesitated, so he discussed it with Kong Mu and Sun Ding.
This Sun Ding is a man of Buddha nature, the most upright and kind-hearted, and he immediately said: "This Kaifeng Mansion is the place of the imperial court's law, and it does not belong to his Taiwei Mansion. Who in the world doesn't know that Gao Taiwei is in power? He was so powerful that he would do anything, but if he had any minor offenses, he would send them to Kaifeng Mansion, where he could kill him and chop him into pieces if he wanted.
And this Lin Chong is really a pillar of the country, he is the most upright person, and he has repeatedly made military exploits in the army. This time, he is clearly innocent, but he insists on dealing with him seriously, and where does he put the law of heaven and the king? "
After listening to what Sun Ding said, Kaifeng Prefect knew in his heart that Lin Chong was really innocent, but he couldn't find the two culprits. He must have been hidden by someone long ago. Now it is impossible to completely acquit Lin Chong. .
The governor of Kaifeng discussed with Sun Ding and sentenced Lin Chong to the crime of "not hanging a sharp blade close to his waist and accidentally entering the festival hall".
Now that he was convicted, Lin Chong was beaten with a twenty-ridge cane, two lines of gold characters were tattooed on his cheek, and a seven-and-a-half kilogram iron-leaf round-headed shackle was slapped on his body, and he was temporarily detained in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion. , and three days later he was sent to be escorted to Cangzhou prison city.
After hearing Shi Qian's report, Wang Lun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that Lin Chong would not be able to escape this catastrophe after all. However, this is not surprising. Considering the current stupidity and corruption of the Song Dynasty, all upright and loyal people How could it end well?
At that moment, Wang Lun asked Shi Qian to continue investigating, but at the same time he told Shi Qian to just watch in secret, and no matter what happened in the future, he was not allowed to intervene without authorization.
Shi Qian didn't ask anything, just smiled and flew away.
Less than a day after Lin Chong was imprisoned, Shi Qian came to report again, saying that Lin Chong's good friend Lu Qian and Gao Yanei planned to make money and deceive Mrs. Lin.
It turned out that on the day Lin Chong was captured, Lu Qian had already sent someone to deliver a message to Mrs. Lin, only saying that Lin Chong was taken to prison and sentenced to be an assassin in Cangzhou. Fortunately, Lu Qian and others worked around it and sent the money to someone else. It only took half a day for Lin Chong to be released from prison and meet his family. Now Lin Chong had arrived at Lu Qian's home and asked Mrs. Lin to come and meet him as soon as possible.
Mrs. Lin was so frightened that she didn't even have time to ask Lin Chong what crime he had committed, so she rushed to Lu Qian's house with Jin'er and was led to an upstairs. However, Lin Chong was not seen upstairs. The person sent by Lu Qian just asked Mrs. Lin to drink tea and wait here, and then went downstairs.
Mrs. Lin waited for a long time but did not see Lin Chong coming. She was anxious and thirsty, so she drank a few sips of tea. She felt weak immediately. Just when she was thinking that something was wrong, Gao Yanei came in from outside and rushed towards Mrs. Lin. Come up.
Jin'er saw that the momentum was not right and Mrs. Lin could not move. She could not argue with Gao Yanei, so she hurriedly ran downstairs to call someone, but at this time Lu Qian's house was empty and Jin'er could not be found anywhere. Jin'er rushed back to Xu Ning's house because Xu Ning's house lived nearby, so Jin'er ran to Xu Ning's house for help.
Xu Ning happened to be at home, and after hearing Jin'er's cry, she couldn't help but get furious, and she and Jin'er rushed to Lu Qian's house.
When they rushed upstairs, Mrs. Lin was still struggling desperately. This was because Gao Yanei had never thought that Mrs. Lin could be so strong. In addition, she indulged in alcohol and sex all day long, and her body had long been hollowed out. She was so weak that she still wanted to fight. Didn't succeed.
Gao Yanei was just about to get rid of his troubles when he suddenly saw Xu Ning rushing in. Knowing that Xu Ning was Lin Chong's good friend, he was extremely upright and highly skilled in martial arts, he was so frightened that he was sweating all over and jumped out of the window to escape.
Xu Ning understood everything at this time. Lu Qian must have conspired with Gao Yanei to frame Lin Chong, but also tried to slander Mrs. Lin again. Xu Ning was furious and immediately smashed Lu Qian's house to pieces and escorted Lin Chong. The lady goes home.
When Wang Lun heard that it was Xu Ning who saved Mrs. Lin, he never expected that Xu Ning seemed to be a truly righteous person, but in this way, he ruined Gao Yanei's good deeds again. I'm afraid Xu Ning would also do it. Following the bad luck, Wang Lun asked Shi Qian to check for information about Xu Ning.
It was just that Shi Qian checked for two days in a row, but everything was calm and nothing happened. After Lin Chong was detained in the Kaifeng Mansion Prison for three days, Kaifeng Mansion sent two anti-escape officers, namely Dong Chao. , Xue Ba, escorted Lin Chong out of Kaifeng Mansion.
Madam Lin, Xu Ning, Lin Chong's father-in-law Zhang, and all the neighbors of the Lin family had been waiting in front of the mansion for a long time. When they saw Lin Chong coming out, they took them to the Zhouqiao Hotel with the two escort officials and sat down.
Coach Zhang gave Dong Chao and Xi Ba two silver coins and asked them to go and have a drink. Lin Chong sat at the same table with Madam Lin, Xu Ning, and Coach Zhang. Everyone was speechless for a while. Madam Lin's eyes were red and swollen from crying. , Jin'er could only persuade him in a low voice from the side.
Lin Chong suddenly let out a long sigh, stood up, bowed to the ground towards Coach Zhang, and said respectfully: "Lin Chong has been lonely since he was a child. After joining the army, he had to be cared for by his father-in-law, so that he could gain a foothold in the army. Later, he even won the favor of his father-in-law. , I will marry your wife to me. We have spent several years together with great love. My wife is virtuous and virtuous, and she has never lost any virtue. It is indeed Lin Chong's great fortune to have such a wife.
It’s just that Lin Chong has been in trouble this time, and he has been assassinated in a far away military state. He has gone to a high mountain and a long road. I don’t know if he will still be able to come back. And my wife is still in her youth. She can’t waste her life for Lin Chong. Today I would like to write down the next chapter. With the divorce letter, the relationship between husband and wife was severed, and the wife could remarry, so Lin Chong could go away and feel at ease. "
Seeing that Lin Chong was about to write a letter of divorce, Teacher Zhang was unwilling to give in. He yelled loudly: "Lin Chong, what are you talking about? Although you have encountered something bad, no one in the world knows that you have been framed.
Although Cangzhou is far away, it is not the end of the world. There will be a day when I return. I will take my daughter home. I also have some money left in my family. I can live as long as I can, three years to five years, ten years to eight years. Year, waiting for you, what kind of divorce letter did you write? "
Xu Ning also advised: "Brother Lin, why are you going through such trouble? Although you are out here, you still have friends like me and neighbors who will do your best to protect your family. You can rest assured."
Lin Chong already knew about Xu Ning's rescue of Mrs. Lin, and immediately thanked her. A group of neighbors also came to persuade her, but Lin Chong had already made up his mind, so he asked the shopkeeper to get paper and pen to write a letter of divorce.
When Mrs. Lin saw that Lin Chong was about to write a letter of divorce, she immediately pulled it out and tore it into pieces, saying, "If you dare to write it, I will kill you!"
Lin Chong knew his wife's character well. Although she was always gentle and docile and never argued with others, she had a certain decision in her heart. Whenever she made up her mind, she would never change it and she would definitely do what she said.
At this time, Lin Chong saw that his wife had torn up the divorce letter and put down the words, so he did not dare to write any more. He held his wife's hands and said with tears in his eyes: "Madam, you and I have been husband and wife for several years, and we have been in the same mind. You also know why I want to The writing of this letter of divorce and the misfortune that happened to me were all caused by the frame-up designed by Gao Yanei.
And this time I was assassinated and sent to Cangzhou. Gao Yameni knew that I was not here, so he would come to force me again. At that time, my wife's reputation would be ruined. I wrote the letter of divorce and gave her my freedom. She can follow her father-in-law. Go back to your hometown and find a good man to marry. At that time, the Gao Yameni's whip is out of reach, so you can keep your wife safe. "
Madam Lin didn't wait for Lin Chong to finish, and said: "You don't need to tell me, I know that Gao Yamen is still evil. I discussed it with my father early in the morning. Now my father has resigned from the official position and the family's affairs have been sorted out. You are leaving today. Tomorrow I will go back to my hometown with my father, so just go and relax, I will wait for you at home. I won’t come back for ten years. I will wait for you for ten years. If I don’t come back for the rest of my life, I will wait for you for the rest of my life.”
