Lin Chong's case was quickly decided, and Fu Yin's punishment was very strict. From holding a sharp knife in his hand, he entered the festival hall to kill the Taiwei, to not holding the knife at his waist, accidentally entering the Festival Hall, and colliding with the Taiwei.
Even Gao Qiu couldn't fault this kind of punishment. After all, Lin Chong was taken away by Kaifeng Mansion for questioning first, and the knife was also taken by Lin Chong to Kaifeng Mansion to prove his innocence.
The verdict was probably in line with Gao Qiu's wishes, but Lin Chong was not executed. It gave Gao Qiu face and left him a good reputation as an upright official. As for whether Gao Qiu would continue to target Lin Chong, that had nothing to do with him. A lot of officers and soldiers die every year, which is normal.
With just a few words, the nature of the matter completely changed, from intentional murder to unintentional collision, and the death penalty became a living crime.
"Two elder brothers, my younger brother has been convicted and now has to go to the far evil military state. It is really a sin not to be able to stay with my brother forever."
In front of the Kaifeng Mansion, Lin Chong said goodbye to Sun Lei and Lu Zhishen. Lin Chong, with disheveled hair and a gold seal on his face, had suddenly aged a lot. His face was full of vicissitudes of life, and he looked very embarrassed while wearing chains and wooden shackles.
"It's already like this, why bother?"
Sun Lei looked at Lin Chong. He was already like this and still couldn't let go of fame and fortune. He thought that one day he would be able to perform meritorious service and be reinstated as an atonement officer. Sun Lei couldn't understand this kind of stubbornness. Lin Chong was much stupider than Wang Jin. Wang Jin saw that The situation was not right and he knew that he was taking his mother far away, but Lin Chong was stupid enough to endure it. He hoped that the conscience of the evil man would find mercy. It was simply stupid. No wonder Wang Jin could be the chief instructor of the 800,000-strong Forbidden Army, while Lin Chong could only be a gun and stick instructor.
"Brother Lin, take care along the way."
Lu Zhishen couldn't speak and just watched Lin Chong cupping his fists.
"The two officers have worked hard all the way. There is some money here. I hope the two officers will take care of it along the way!"
Lin Chong's father-in-law, Coach Zhang, handed the silver coins to Dong Chao and Xue Ba, hoping that the two escorting policemen would not embarrass Lin Chong along the way.
Dong Chao and Xue Ba looked at each other, smiled and accepted the silver, promising that they would take good care of Lin Chong and not embarrass him along the way, but Sun Lei saw a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Taishan above, please pay homage to Lin Chong! Thanks to Mount Tai's love, I will marry your beloved to this young man. It has been three years now. During this period, the husband and wife have been loving each other. There has been no dispute or quarrel. For three years, the husband and wife have treated each other as guests. I thought they would be happy." For the rest of my life. It's a pity that my life is so short, and I got into this lawsuit. Now it's uncertain whether my wife will live or die in Cangzhou. I may never have the chance to stay with my wife in this life. After all, my wife is at home. It will only miss her youth. Lin Chong will retire today. With this letter, the lady will meet her husband one day and she will remarry."
After Lin Chong finished speaking, he glanced at Mr. Zhang next to him who was holding a large bag of clothes, and bowed to Coach Zhang. After doing so, he went to the nearby shop to get some paper and pen to start writing a letter of divorce.
"Why are you doing this? You have been taking refuge in Cangzhou for three to five years. There are many wars in the court and there is a shortage of men in the army. It is not difficult for you to perform meritorious service and atone for your sins with your martial arts skills. Don't think about it and just relax."
Seeing that Lin Chong was about to write a letter of divorce, Teacher Zhang thought Lin Chong was afraid of dragging his daughter down, so he quickly tried to dissuade her, but Lin Chong insisted on divorcing his wife.
"Official! As the saying goes: A couple's love lasts a hundred days. You and I have been husband and wife for three years, and our love has been wonderful. In the past three years, I have abided by women's ways and devoted myself to running the house. There has never been any filth. How can you divorce me?"
Seeing Lin Chong take up the pen and start writing the divorce letter, Mrs. Zhang burst into tears. After three years of husband and wife, they had worked hard to run the family, and in exchange for a divorce letter, how could she not be heartbroken.
"Madam, now that I am like this, if I keep waiting for you, I will waste my life!"
Lin Chong's eyes were also full of sadness, but the pen in his hand did not stop.
"Don't worry, my son, this is Lin Chong's idea and has nothing to do with you. Just stay at home and do whatever you want!"
Coach Zhang no longer wanted to look at Lin Chong at this moment. He supported his daughter who was about to faint and said that he knew his daughter's temper and remarrying was impossible.
"Lin Chong, the instructor of the 800,000-strong imperial army in Tokyo, broke off his marriage to Cangzhou because he committed a serious crime, and his life or death is not guaranteed after he leaves. He has a young wife, Zhang, who is willing to write a letter of divorce and allow her to remarry without any dispute. It is his own free will. That is to say, we are not forcing each other. I am afraid that I will have no basis for my future, so I have established this article as a reminder. Year, month and day."
Lin Chong took the written divorce letter and was about to hand it to Zhang.
"Snapped!"
A loud slap shocked everyone present. They all looked over and saw Sun Lei slap Lin Chong on the face. A blood-red slap mark appeared on Lin Chong's dirty face, which showed that he was very powerful.
"People say that an elder brother is like a father. Your parents died young, so it's up to me, my brother, to teach you a lesson. Do you accept it?"
Sun Lei looked at Lin Chong and asked.
"Brother taught you a lesson!"
Lin Chong said with a miserable look on his face. He had nowhere to vent his grief and anger just now, but now this slap made him feel a lot more relaxed. He didn't want to write a divorce letter. His wife was so virtuous. He had cultivated this kind of wife in his previous life. Blessed, but now that he is like this, his life or death is uncertain when he goes to Cangzhou. If he drags his wife with him, he may be a widow for the rest of his life.
"A divorce letter is for a woman who has committed the seven crimes of disobedience to her parents, childlessness, adultery, jealousy, talkativeness, and theft. What mistake did my sister-in-law make that you want to write a divorce letter?"
Sun Lei grabbed the divorce letter and looked at Lin Chong and asked.
"The neighbors are all here, and everyone is watching how my sister-in-law is doing on weekdays. I'm afraid you are not qualified to write a divorce letter! Just go if you want to. I accept my brother and sister. When you leave, there will be Master Lu and me. You are Don’t you want to cut off your robes and sever ties with your brothers?”
Sun Lei looked at Lin Chong and said in a stern voice, like a father lecturing his son.
"Don't dare! Don't dare!"
Lin Chong clasped his fists at Sun Lei obediently. Only then did he realize that he still had two brothers. He didn't have to worry about his family even if he went to Cangzhou.
"You are Dong Chao and Xue Ba, right? I heard that the water and fire sticks in your hands are very powerful. The life and death of this assassin depends on the stick? My stupid brother is very stupid. You are so stupid that you can concoct him at will along the way. I don’t dare to resist, but I tell you, it’s best not to do this, if something happens to him, none of you will survive.”
"Dong Chao lives outside Xinzheng Gate in Dongcheng. He has a father, one brother, a wife, and three children. Xue Ba lives outside Dailou Gate. He has a younger sister, a wife, and two children at home. She also raised a young child and gave birth to a son. Am I right?"
Sun Lei walked to Dong Chao and Xue Ba and whispered.
"You, what do you want to do!"
Dong Chao and Xue Ba's expressions changed greatly. They didn't expect that the other party would find out everything about their home situation.
"It's nothing. Didn't Gao Qiu ask you to kill Lin Chong on the way? If Lin Chong dies, your whole family will be buried with him. I can't kill Gao Qiu, but it's too easy to kill you. You should think carefully about what to do."
Sun Lei smiled sinisterly.
"Hmph, do you two understand?"
Lu Zhishen put his hands on the shoulders of Dong Chao and Xue Ba, and Dong Chao and Xue Ba almost fell to their knees with a strong force.
"Don't dare, don't dare, we will serve you wholeheartedly along the way!"
How could Dong Chao and Xue Ba dare to say no? The two men in front of them were full of murderous intent and could definitely destroy their whole family.
