Lin Keqi, who was free of restraints, rolled around and ran to a woman lying not far away, lay on her body and cried loudly, shouting: "Mother, mother..."
Chang Sile walked over and squatted beside her. Seeing her grief, he felt very sad. After she calmed down a little, she asked gently: "How is your brother?"
When Lin Keqi heard this, she cried even harder. It turned out that just the day before yesterday, his brother's body was fished out of the moat. His body was covered in scars, and it looked like he had suffered a lot of torture during his lifetime. Her sister-in-law couldn't accept the reality and hanged herself.
His father realized that what he was investigating must have been discovered, and quickly asked his servants to escort his mother and her to his grandfather's house for refuge.
She begged her father to go with her, but his father said that he must find a way to send the collected evidence to the capital, otherwise his eldest brother's death would be in vain.
However, before leaving, he still told Lin Keqi, and he still copied a copy of the account book, told her where the things were hidden, and said, "Son, if my father fails to send the evidence out smoothly, I hope. You can find a way to do it. Go to the capital and find Young Master Chang, he will help you."
"How is uncle now?"
Lin Keqi cried and shook her head and said: "I don't know, when we left the house, my father was burning something in the study. We fled all the way to the north gate. Not long after we left the city, we met the same people we just had. They dressed up as servants and didn't say a word. , they caught up with us and started killing people. My mother was always protecting me..." At this point, she choked up again.
Chang Sile sighed and comforted: "Give your mother a good burial first! I will go with you to find your father."
Lin Keqi cried and nodded. Later, Chang Sile ordered his guards to bury Lin Keqi's mother and her servants on a nearby mountain.
He helped Lin Keqi, who was lying in pain in front of the grave, and said: "The situation is unclear now, so I will bury my aunt here first. When the situation is stable, we will come back and let her be buried with your brother and sister-in-law."
So Chang Sile and his entourage quietly entered the city together with Lin Keqi.
But what they don't know is that their whereabouts have been monitored. The few people who escaped reported the matter to their master, so they had already sent people to wait at the city gate.
Chang Sile and Lin Keqi had just returned to the mansion when they were surrounded by a well-trained team dressed as servants.
Chang Sile's guards quickly protected the two of them, ready to fight at any time.
At this time, Dong Youcai walked out of the room with a smile, "I didn't expect you to dare to come back. You are indeed a young lady of the Lin family. Her bones are as hard as your brother and father."
Lin Keqi became nervous after hearing this, "Where is my father? What did you do to him?"
"Oh, it's nothing like that. I asked him something, but he didn't tell me. But his corruption has been exposed, and the evidence is conclusive. He felt ashamed and ashamed when it was exposed, so... he committed suicide." After saying that, he looked at it. Toward the study.
When Lin Keqi heard this, she rushed into the study and saw her father still hanging on the beam. She knelt down and cried loudly.
Dong Youcai waved to the side, and several guards rushed into the study and escorted her out. At this time, Dong Youcai pointed at Lin Keqi who was arrested and said: "Second Master Chang, I know that your guards are very skilled in martial arts, and you are also a master. Do you think we still need to take action?"
Chang Sile felt very heavy at this time. The Lin family was a loyal minister, and Lin Peixi was his good friend, but they were just wiped out.
He looked up and saw Lin Keqi, who was being held up, with a look of pity on his face. At this time, Lin Keqi was also looking at Chang Sile, but his eyes were stubborn and firm.
He wanted to keep her, the only bloodline of the Lin family. So, he smiled and said to Dong Youcai: "Master Dong, why is this necessary? I just wanted to visit Yizhou, do some business, and visit my friends by the way, but who knew that I would be involved in this matter. "
Dong Youcai smiled when he heard this and said, "I also know that Mr. Chang is a man who loves freedom and pleasure. How can he meddle in such nosy matters? How about sitting in my house?"
Chang Sile nodded: "That's fine!" So, several people got on the carriage and entered the Governor's Mansion together. But they underestimated Dong Youcai's despicableness and were taken to the dungeon as soon as they entered the mansion.
The guards dressed as servants in the governor's mansion evacuated the prefect's mansion inconspicuously. Taishou Lin's body was also hastily buried by the people who stayed here, and everything returned to peace. There are servants in the house who go out to buy things every day, and the governor's affairs are also handled by the deputy of the former governor Lin. No one knows that the family has been wiped out.
Yes, Li Zhi, Prefect Lin's deputy, was Dong Youcai's spy placed beside him. It was he who discovered Prefect Lin's actions and went to report it to Dong Youcai.
Lin Keqi is the singer rumored outside, but she is not the one singing. Every day she would go to Dong Youcai's place to sit for a while, listen to music and drink tea with him, and then go to the secluded area of Tianlao to watch Chang Sile being whipped.
Dong Youcai seemed to find it very interesting and always enjoyed it. He wanted to make them all succumb to him...
"Did you get a reply from Macheng?" Dong Youcai asked Chen De, the secretary on the side.
"Your Excellency, it has been sent out a long time ago and should have been delivered to Marquis Wu Ting. Counting the days, I will receive a reply soon."
"I hope he can understand the current situation. If he can be used by the second prince, great achievements will be made."
Yes, more than half a month after Chang Sile was imprisoned, Chang Zhaonan, the Marquis of Wuting who was stationed in Macheng, received a letter from Yizhou.
The letter said that the second son of the Chang family was a guest at the house, and they entertained him warmly every day. They hoped that everyone in the Wutinghou family could also become friends with him. In addition, His Royal Highness the Second Prince loves the Marquis very much and hopes to meet him in private. He is also willing to deal with it and conspire to achieve great things.
What he said was very clear, he was threatening him with his second son and surrendering to the second prince.
How can it be? First of all, it only supports orthodoxy. In addition, Ling Haoyang, that idiot, would have dared to threaten him without Cen Taichang's powerful wife.
Chang Siguo, the eldest son on the side, frowned after seeing the letter and said, "Second brother, he must have detained it now. His life will not be in danger until we explicitly refuse, but the physical pain is unavoidable."
"Then he has to suffer. There are no weaklings in our Chang family. I'm just curious. Usually that kid is smarter than a monkey. How could he be put under house arrest by Dong Youcai?"
"You must be afraid, why don't you go there in person and find a way to rescue your second brother?"
"That's fine, be careful!"
