"What are Mrs. Luo's plans for the future?" Lin Sui'an poured a glass of water for Luo Kou and asked.
Luo Kou was dressed in mourning clothes, which made her face look even paler, except for one pair of eyes, which were shockingly dark.
"Of course I want to take back the position of the head of the family." Meng Man said sternly.
Luo Kou said nothing, but the hatred in his eyes said everything.
Lin Sui'an sighed secretly.
Seven days have passed since the farce in the mourning hall. Luo Shichuan's coffin was buried smoothly. Mu Zhong came forward to re-examine the account books and confirmed that there was indeed a problem with Luo Liulang's account books. In addition, Lin Sui'an interfered with the Luo clan's plan to expel Luo Kou. After the failure, Luo Kou saved Luo Zhai, several shops and two caravans under Luo Shichuan's name. Meng Man was deprived of his position as manager, but was not expelled from the Luo family. Luo Liulang failed to succeed as the head of the family, but instead elected an older and stable clan member as the new head of the family - to put it bluntly, it was the result of the struggle and compromise between the various factions in the Luo clan.
This is the best situation Lin Sui'an expected.
"Since the first year of Xuanqi, the Tang State has allowed women to take scientific examinations and become officials for twenty years. Among the people, there are also women who are in charge of business houses and lead caravans. There are also precedents for women to be the head of a family." Luo Kou said in a trembling voice, "I once I naively thought that this should be the case, but now it seems that there is no recognition of women in the world, only harshness. It is really unfair for them to take away my qualification to inherit the head of the family just because I am a woman!"
Lin Sui'an's head sank. What she was worried about happened.
Previously, she used extraordinary methods to arouse Luo Kou's desire to live. Now it seems that Luo Kou has the fighting spirit, but it has also produced a sequelae called "resentment."
"Who told you that you can't succeed as the head of the family because you are a woman?" Lin Sui'an asked.
Luo Kou glanced at Meng Man out of the corner of his eye, then straightened his back, his expression becoming more and more hateful: "Isn't it true?!"
"If Ke'er is a man, how dare the Luo clan dare to humiliate her like this?!" Meng Man shouted.
Lin Sui'an: "Meng Langjun is a man and has no chance of winning."
The corners of Meng Man's eyes twitched, and the same expression as before appeared again - suppressed and ferocious, "I am just the adopted son of the family master, and I have not been included in the family tree."
Lin Sui'an frowned: "You are right, it is tens of millions of times more difficult for a woman to gain a foothold in the world than for a man, but to put it into perspective, even if Kerr is a man, even if he can temporarily succeed as the head of the family, if he does not have the strength to control the entire Luo family, Those tribesmen who are like wolves and tigers cannot tolerate you for a few days."
Luo Kou: "How do you know that I can't hold my position as the head of the family?!"
"If you really have that kind of ability, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, they will not be able to take away Luo Shi." Lin Sui'an said calmly, "The world is inherently unfair. It is based on whether you are rich or poor, good or evil. There are those who judge by strength and weakness. If you only see the difference between men and women, only resent the unfairness of the world to women, blame others and others, and blind your eyes, then apart from being full of resentment, what good will it do to you? "
Luo Kou was stunned.
"Are we going to let them take Luo Shi away?! Let them humiliate us?!" Meng Man said, "Ms. Lin family, these are just useless truths that are of no use to us!" As he said this, he grabbed Luo Kou. Arm, "Kole, let's go!"
Luo Kou stood up in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses, gently broke away from Meng Man, took a breath, lowered his head and saluted Lin Sui'an: "Thanks to Sister Lin for helping me in the mourning hall, Kou'er will never forget it."
Lin Sui'an nodded, watched the two of them go away, sighed again, changed from kneeling to sitting cross-legged, rubbed his calves, and secretly complained about this terrible world without a sofa.
"The young lady of the Luo family also said thank you, but that Meng Man doesn't seem to appreciate your kindness." Mu Zhong wandered into the room and sat down cross-legged, "Why do I feel that the way he looks at you is a bit—— "
Lin Sui'an took a sip of boiled water and said, "You probably hate me."
Mu Zhong touched his Shan Zi beard and said, "So Mrs. Lin knows."
"If Luo Family Master had not saved me, Luo Kou would not have known Su Chengxian. If Luo Kou had not known Su Chengxian, Luo Family Master would not have died -" Lin Sui'an said, "According to this logic, I am the guilty one." source."
"What you said sounds exactly the same as what Luo said before when he slandered the Luo family's wife," Mu Zhong was a little surprised. "At that time, you absolutely slandered the Luo family. How come you couldn't see through it when it was your turn?"
Lin Sui'an laughed at himself: "It's not that I can't see through it, but everyone in the world thinks this way. If I scold everyone again, wouldn't I be exhausted to death?"
Mu Zhong suddenly fell silent, and then said after a long time, "Ten years ago, I handled a case of a serial flower-picking thief. When the rapist was interrogated, the murderer not only refused to plead guilty, but instead falsely accused the murdered women of being unbecoming of women and wearing revealing clothes. It is to seduce men to commit crimes, and you will bring the blame on yourself. At that time, one person jumped up and yelled, saying that the only reason for the existence of rape crimes is that there are rape criminals, and other than that, any sophistry is bullshit." At this point, Mu Zhong burst out laughing, "He cursed for a full quarter of an hour, and everyone was stunned."
Lin Sui'an was stunned.
"At that time, he was severely spanked by his brother because he made obscene remarks and was disrespectful in court. He had to lie down for ten days before he could get out of bed."
Lin Sui'an: "Beating...cough...Did Duke Mu mean flogging?"
Mu Zhong raised his hand, "Take off your pants and get spanked with a ruler."
"..."
"He was only six years old."
Probably because Lin Sui'an's expression was so wonderful, Mu Zhong laughed so hard that he stopped laughing after a while, shook his head and said, "At that time, I thought he was the only one in the world who was so special. I never thought that ten years later, he would be so special. I met someone exactly the same again.”
Lin Sui'an's face twitched.
Could it be that Mu Zhong was talking about her?
"It's strange to say that Mrs. Lin is not similar to that person at all, but they feel very similar," Mu Zhong said with emotion, "If there is a chance, I really want to introduce you two."
"Forget it, I don't dare to provoke such people." Lin Sui'an waved his hands repeatedly.
Mu Zhong looked regretful.
"Do you have any clues about what Duke Mu is investigating?" Lin Sui'an returned to the topic.
Mu Zhong looked solemn and said in a low voice, "As I expected, the five shops under Luo Shichuan's name have been profitable for three consecutive years, and the two caravans also have a good reputation. In comparison, the other shops under the name of the other tribesmen have made profits. Although there are a large number of shops, they all have varying degrees of losses, which are all covered by the surplus of Luo Shichuan's shops. The remaining caravans are large, scattered and difficult to manage. If Luo Shichuan were alive, these problems would not be difficult to solve in time, but now - "
Lin Sui'an: "In other words, if we separate from Luo Shi now, on the surface it seems that Luo Kou has suffered a big loss, but in fact he has taken a big advantage?"
Mu Zhong nodded, and Lin Sui'an breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mrs. Lin, do you want to tell Mrs. Luo about this?" Mu Zhong asked.
Lin Sui'an: "Mr. Mu told Kerr that it is more credible."
Mu Zhong nodded, looking at Lin Sui'an's expression which was a little strange, "I have always had a question, you are not related to the Luo family, why do you help them so much?"
Lin Sui'an was startled for a moment and replied: "Because the head of the Luo family is kind to me."
Mu Zhong looked slightly stern, cupped his fists and said, "Ms. Lin is righteous!"
*
"Bullshit," Lin Sui'an sat on the threshold and laughed out loud, "I didn't have this cell when I was born."
The autumn night was slightly cool, with colorful clouds chasing the moon and a high wind, like thin comb teeth raking through the shadows of the trees. The familiar rustling reminded Lin Sui'an of another world full of neon lights.
Before time travel, she was the most nosy. As a social animal in 996, she had enough luxury to live safely. She had no energy to care about others. She didn't bother to forward the shocking crime news when she saw it. She could only like a few comments that she liked, and... Wear a vest and wear a trumpet.
Keeping things unconcerned is a wise and self-protective work principle, and adapting to circumstances and adapting to circumstances is a magic weapon against anxiety.
For Lin Sui'an, the memories of being rescued by Luo's caravan only existed in the original owner's diary. Her initial impression of Luo was not good. She handed over the dilu because the original owner wanted to help Luo Kou, rather than getting involved. The original owner, Lin Sui'an, was actually more of a bystander, unwilling to get involved too deeply, until Luo Shichuan died in the secret room.
Different from those events that only existed in news reports and text videos, this time it really happened before our eyes: Luo Shichuan's blood, Su Chengxian's body, Luo Kou's tears, Meng Man's roar, and the faces of the Luo clan. , are all alive, with temperature and life.
At first it was to clear away his own suspicion, then he became curious about the truth of the case, and then he took action in the mourning hall, probably just because——
"You can't stand it..." Lin Sui'an muttered.
She is not a messenger of justice, and she is too lazy to be a holy mother and be reborn. If the only thing she wants to do is to live more comfortably, to put it bluntly, it is all for herself. If there is no other reason——
Lin Sui'an touched Qian Jing on his knee. The rough feel of the scabbard pierced his palm, causing a numb and trembling feeling.
She finally has a confidence to rely on in this world.
Pulling the sword out of its sheath, the dark green blade that looked like mold reflected the cold moonlight, like the eyes of a ghost quenched with poison, but for her, this was the only sense of security.
"It's much better than the original world, isn't it?" Lin Sui'an curled his arms and felt the contraction and expansion of his arm muscles, "I finally have something that truly belongs to me."
"Qianjing is not yours!" A voice came from above, "It's mine!"
Clothes rumbled in the air, and a figure flew down like a huge black bat.
Lin Sui'an recognized him at a glance. He had long hands and feet like a big bamboo pole. He didn't even change his night clothes and face covering, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't recognize him - it was the killer from the first night she traveled through time.
An acquaintance actually showed up during the emo session in the middle of the night, and Lin Sui'an felt a lot better.
"Here you come," Lin Sui'an greeted familiarly, "Have you eaten?"
The killer was furious and chopped him with one knife. This time, his speed was even slower in Lin Sui'an's eyes. Lin Sui'an stepped on the ground with his feet and his whole body slid sideways. The killer's knife cut a hole in the threshold. Before she could sheath the knife, Lin Sui'an had already risen from the ground, and Qian Jing swept towards the killer's neck with a strange green light.
The killer bent down and turned his head to avoid the blow, and quickly retreated. Lin Sui'an fell with the knife, turned around and stepped on the door railing. He turned like a fish in the water, the speed was extremely fast, the knife was extremely powerful, Qian Jing Under the moonlight, it transformed into a magnificent color like the light on the sea surface, carrying the fishy wind and instantly approaching the killer's neck.
[The blood from the cut throat is ten feet high, and the soul-calling banner of the King of Hell]
A string of words suddenly popped out of his mind, and a familiar yet strange trembling feeling suddenly spread all over his body. Lin Sui'an felt his whole body heat up, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart. The wind of the knife tore open the skin of the killer's neck, and bright red blood flew out. Blood beads.
He is going to die!
She's going to kill someone!
At the critical moment, Lin Sui'an hit his right shoulder hard with his left palm, and twisted four or five times before he stabilized his body. The hand holding Qian Jing trembled slightly, and the excited trembling feeling slowly returned from his shoulder to his fingertips. , the trembling stopped.
Lin Sui'an broke out in a sweat. She had only had doubts before, but now she was almost certain that the bloodthirsty trembling feeling should come from Qian Jing.
The killer sat on the ground and held his neck. Blood seeped out from between his fingers. His eyes were as wide as bells. He didn't know if he was frightened, but he was shaking even harder than Lin Sui'an.
"You, you, you, were you just taming, taming, taming, taming Qian Jing? Are you, you, you, still human?"
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Why is she not human anymore?
The killer staggered up and took a few cautious steps back, "Did you, you, you, you just use the Kung Fu from the Shijingji?"
Ten Pure Sets? what?
Another important prop?
Lin Sui'an was surprised in his heart and kept his expression on his face, "I'm looking down on you. You actually know about Shi Jing Ji."
I don’t know how this sentence stimulated the killer. Regardless of the blood still coming out of his neck, he jumped on his feet and yelled, "Just wait for me, Qianjing and Shijingji are mine, I will never do it." "It's good to give up." He turned into a giant monkey and jumped up the tree, disappearing after a few ups and downs.
Broken branches and leaves fell all over the ground, and Lin Sui'an couldn't laugh or cry. She didn't know if there was a setting for Qing Gong in this world, at least the Qing Gong of this big bamboo pole was very poor.
Although both visits to the big bamboo pole were unkind, the amazing thing was that Lin Sui'an didn't hate him. After all, he always brought surprises every time he came. The first time he told Lin Sui'an the importance of Qianjing, and the second time he told Lin Sui'an the importance of Qianjing. This time, two more keywords were opened: "Taming Qian Jing" and "Shi Jing Ji", it was like a bug specially sent to send messages.
And listening to what he meant, the move just now was probably the Kung Fu of Shi Jing Ji. Lin Sui'an thought, could it be that the inexplicable words that popped into his mind before were Shi Jing Ji - in other words, Shi Jing Ji had actually been there for a long time. Exists in the memory of the original owner's body.
Every time the body loses control, it is after the characters appear in the mind. I make a bold guess that the Shijingji may be the key to taming Qianjing.
"It's interesting." Lin Sui'an sheathed the knife and said with a smile, "Welcome to come again next time."
