Seeing Jiang Lin looking immersed in confusion, Shi Yong smiled and said: "Steward Jiang, since you are out, please go down to Mr. Deng's house and talk about it."
"Master Deng has been talking about you. If you hadn't tried your best to facilitate it, Master Deng would not have been able to reach the level of relationship with Master Taishi."
"Since we have this kind of fate, we will all be friends from now on."
"Now that Steward Jiang is in trouble, how can Master Deng sit back and do nothing?"
Hearing Shi Yong's heartfelt words, Jiang Lin's eyes couldn't help but become moist.
There are still many good people in the world!
I thought that I would never be cared about again and spend this life in silence.
Unexpectedly, there are still people who remember my goodness!
Jiang Lin immediately smiled and got into the carriage with Shi Yong.
The carriage swerved, and after a while, it stopped in front of the residence of Deng Cong, the minister of Taichang Temple.
"Steward Jiang, please invite me!"
Jiang Lin got off the carriage and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the luxurious house in front of him.
Fortunately, Deng Cong has made a lot of money from being the Minister of Taichang Temple over the years.
And the reason why he was able to make a lot of money was naturally because he was the one who guided him to get to know the Grand Master.
If it weren't for his own help, he, Deng Cong, might not be as successful as he is today!
Thinking that he had helped Deng Cong a lot, Jiang Lin felt a little more at ease.
He is Deng Cong's great benefactor, so it is only natural that Deng Cong treats him so favorably!
Jiang Lin looked around in Deng Cong's house, feeling something strange that he couldn't explain.
But where exactly makes people feel uncomfortable, Jiang Lin couldn't answer for a while!
I just feel that compared to the past, today's mansion seems to be lacking something, and it seems to have something more.
But what exactly it is, Jiang Lin can’t answer!
While Jiang Lin was lost in thought, Shi Yong had already led Jiang Lin to the main hall.
"Master Deng, guess who I met on the road?"
"Isn't this the Butler Jiang Lin whom you have longed for!"
Deng Cong is an old man over sixty years old. He usually dresses like a man of five or six, but he looks like a wealthy man.
But when Jiang Lin saw Deng Cong's face today, he couldn't help but be shocked!
Deng Cong, the minister of Taichang Temple who used to be particularly particular in the past, can now be described as "unkempt".
His gray hair was draped randomly over his shoulders, and the cotton robe on his body was put on randomly with three layers inside and three outside.
Deng Cong's cheeks were even more sunken, and the two black eyes under his eyes made him look ten years older!
Seeing Deng Cong's extremely depressed look, Jiang Lin's heart skipped a beat and he had already made a rough guess.
"Master Deng, what are you..."
Jiang Lin already had a rough idea in his mind, but he didn’t dare to say it in person!
Shangguan Yi is under investigation. As one of the courtiers who have the closest contacts with Shangguan Yi, Deng Cong must not be able to escape his involvement!
No wonder Jiang Lin noticed something amiss as soon as he entered the mansion.
It turned out that in this huge mansion, there were not many servants left to serve him.
There is a decaying atmosphere everywhere, making people feel uncomfortable all over.
Jiang Lin finally understood that in this mansion now, it turned out that there was less luxury and luxury, and more lifelessness!
Jiang Lin felt regretful in his heart. He thought he had come to a place where he could make a comeback, but he didn't expect that the Deng Mansion was in such a state now!
However, if you want to regret it, it is too late.
Deng Cong raised his head and looked at Jiang Lin steadily, with a particularly scary smile on his face.
"I didn't expect that when Shangguan Yi's house was ransacked, Butler Jiang was able to escape unscathed!"
"Steward Jiang must have performed well in front of His Majesty, so he atones for his sins and made meritorious deeds!"
Deng Congpi's smiling expression made Jiang Lin feel cold.
"That...Master Deng misunderstood."
"It's just that His Majesty is aware of everything and knows that everything I do is forced, so he doesn't feel sorry for me..."
"Forced to be helpless?" Deng Cong retorted, his wrinkled face full of sarcasm, "What a man to be forced to have no choice!"
"If you hadn't taken the initiative to come up with the idea back then, I'm afraid Shangguan Yi would never have thought that a small Taichang Temple could actually become a means of making money!"
"Jiang Lin, Jiang Lin, you and Shangguan Yi are here today because of your collusion and collusion!"
"You guys are all the same stuff!"
"And you two have amassed enough wealth by relying on me, and now you want to regain your freedom by exposing me to the Holy One?"
"I have never seen such a shameless person!"
Jiang Lin half-opened his mouth, unable to argue for a moment!
"Master Deng, misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding!"
"What a huge misunderstanding!"
"I have never revealed anything in front of His Majesty!"
"It's even more impossible to save my life by exposing you..."
Jiang Lin said so much, how could Deng Cong still listen to a word of it!
He saw a fierce look in his eyes, glaring at Jiang Lin fiercely.
With that ferocious posture, it seemed that he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood raw!
"Haha, do you think I will believe it?"
"After Shangguan Yi was arrested, the first person the Prime Minister led to arrest was me!"
"Do you know why they released me again?"
At this point, Deng Cong's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, almost bleeding.
"They just want me to watch with my own eyes how my house was ransacked!"
"Steward Jiang, I am here today entirely because of you!"
And Shi Yong, who was standing next to Deng Cong, no longer had the warm smile he had just now.
Instead, there was a look of disdain and contempt.
"In order to survive as long as possible, I will not hesitate to betray my master for glory, and I will even betray my own master!"
"Jiang Lin, Jiang Lin, do you really think I will respectfully invite you here and let you be Lord Deng's guest?"
"Stop dreaming!"
"Master Deng has fallen into this situation, and it's all because of you!"
"Today, I will use your blood to send Lord Deng on his final journey!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lin felt a sweetness welling up in his throat.
He felt as if his body had been struck by lightning at this moment and became extremely stiff, as if it was out of his control and completely unable to move!
The severe tingling sensation in his chest made Jiang Lin feel more and more dazed until he felt dizzy.
In front of him was a colorful scene, and at the end of the scene was Xiuyue's pure white face.
She opened her mouth and seemed to say something, but Jiang Lin didn't hear a word clearly.
"Xiuyue, Xiuyue..."
Jiang Lin ran towards the direction Xiuyue left, but he forgot that his body seemed to be imprisoned, unable to move at all.
"boom--"
Finally, he lay on his back and looked forward blankly, his eyes gradually becoming hollow and without warmth.
Only the body that was still twitching slightly and the last remaining trace of warmth proved that this person was still alive just now.
In Jiang Lin's life, success is also Shangguan Yi, and failure is Shangguan Yi.
He didn't know whether his original choice was right or wrong.
After all, there is no chance to do it all over again.
