It was the end of February when I returned to Linyang City again.
As winter passes and spring comes, the light fragrance of spring flowers blooms quietly in the gentle climate.
Liu Mo has sent people to Jiang Lin Mansion for the newly developed sea salt. Before official salt is sold, it must be appraised by the official.
As for small things like running errands, there is no need to do it yourself.
Walked into the gate of Lin Mansion and handed the luggage to his subordinates.
On the way to the old lady's residence, Liu Mo saw a few familiar faces, and a strange chill hit his heart.
Lin Xian and Lin Yu's servants, why are they still in the Lin Mansion! ! !
When they arrived at Mrs. Zhou's door, her personal maid stood guard outside the bedroom, her face pale.
Liu Mo only needed to look at her to know that something was wrong.
The servant opened the door and said loudly: "My uncle is back!"
"Let him in," Mrs. Zhou shouted, her voice surprisingly thick.
The fires in the symmetrical stoves at both ends of the bedroom were burning brightly, filling the room with a gloomy red light. The heat in the room was suffocating.
The old lady was lying on the bed with a curtain, and Dr. Sun, the most famous doctor in Linyang City, was accompanying her. Lin Yuan was pacing anxiously in front of the closed window.
Servants came and went, adding more firewood.
Lin Yu and Lin Xian sat on the edge of the bed, close to their mother.
When Liu Mo crossed the room, two pairs of eyes stared straight at him. He moved very slowly, as if he was in a dream.
"Mo'er," Mrs. Zhou saw Liu Mo's face and whispered, "come here, come closer!"
"What's going on?" Liu Mo lowered his head and glanced at Old Mrs. Zhou, knowing that the illness was coming this time.
"Excessive exertion caused a stroke!" Doctor Sun announced, "There is no serious problem, but I can't get out of bed and move around for the time being!"
"Old lady..." Liu Mo's nose felt sore, and he felt so distressed.
"You brat, why are you looking like that?" the old lady said, "My old lady will not die so early, as some people wish!"
As soon as these words came out, the three brothers of the Lin family suddenly froze.
"Let's be alone for a while. You all step aside, I want to talk to Mo'er."
"Mother..." Lin Yuan said.
"I told you, stand down." Mrs. Zhou suddenly raised her voice. "What's the word you don't understand, you bastard! And both of you, get out of here!"
Lin Yuan walked out of the room with an embarrassed look on his face, followed by Lin Yu and Lin Xian.
"Old lady, you shouldn't be angry!" After the two of them were left alone, Liu Mo spoke, his vision blurred by grief. "You should take better care of your body and bones!"
"It's really hard to live in this world with such a rebellious son!" Old Mrs. Zhou said bitterly, "Mo'er, is there any good news that will make my old lady happy?"
Liu Mo then detailed the salt production incident, including prostitution of Xiangshan Islanders' land for free.
"Hahaha!" Old Mrs. Zhou laughed, "Sure enough, I was not disappointed."
Halfway through her laughter, she suddenly felt unwell and turned to groaning.
"Buddha is merciful and gives me, an old woman, two more years." She murmured, breathing heavily. "Just two years, my old woman doesn't ask for much." That girl Shiqi..."
"I will take good care of her!" Liu Mo promised.
"Mo'er, my old lady is sorry for you!" She said weakly, "My son Lin Yuan, he... this useless son... has interests at stake... Oh!"
Liu Mo was shocked when he heard this, "Old lady, could he have promised his uncle and third uncle?"
The old lady nodded helplessly, "The three brothers came here just to..."
"Did my father-in-law tell me that I was making salt?"
After getting the reply from the old lady, Liu Mo suddenly had the urge to strangle Lin Yuan to death.
Damn Lin Yuan, you are such a talent!
You are such a saintly person that you give the cake you got to your brother who is eyeing you. Not to mention how much profit the salt production can bring, where does this put me?
The mission I took was from the government, and the purpose was to crack down on illicit salt sales and increase government salt taxes.
If your two brothers buy shares, God knows whether they will sell them privately.
Another thing is, as one of the bosses, he publicly goes to Xiangshan County to learn salt production technology and build a new processing plant, and we are still having fun!
"Mo'er, wait until my old lady is in better health and then deal with this matter!"
Obviously, the reason why the old lady fell ill was because of Lin Yuan's anger.
The three brothers Lin Yuan are the leaders of all parties, and the old lady cannot change this.
The three of them joined forces to put pressure on her. Even if the old lady could forcefully stop her, she would still have to rely on Liu Mo to handle the future because she was old.
At the same time, the pain Old Mrs. Zhou endured was clearly written on her face, and Liu Mo couldn't bear to inflict more pain on her.
"Old lady, just rest peacefully, I will take care of it!" He assured her.
"I can rest assured that you can do things!" The old lady forced a smile, "No matter what, he is my son and Shiqi's father. If you have any way, try to help him.
His two brothers, I know them all too well. In their eyes, money is more important than flesh and blood brothers. "
"I will, old lady!"
The old lady closed her eyes and seemed to relax a little.
However, the next second, she opened her eyes suddenly, "Mo'er, come over here!"
Liu Mo leaned forward and heard the old lady say: "That actor...find a way to kill him!"
"This..." Liu Mo trembled.
"If this person is not eliminated, he will be a great disaster to our Lin family!" The old lady continued, "The thing I regret most in my life is my kindness at that time!"
She was absolutely right, this person was Lin Yuan's weakness.
There were three unfilial piety in the Great Xia Dynasty, the worst was not having an heir. Lin Yuan refused to take another wife despite the gossip of secular people.
The old lady is still here, and he has restrained himself.
If the old lady was not alive, Liu Mo suspected that Lin Yuan would probably bring the actor back to the Lin Mansion.
"Kill..." Liu Mo closed his eyes and thought for a long time.
"Mo'er, if I were no longer alive, would the actor let you go?" the old lady spoke again.
A chill hit Liu Mo directly. Now that I have the prince as my backer, I won't be afraid of this person.
But what the old lady said is not unreasonable. Preemptive strike can save a lot of trouble.
It's up to me whether to kill him or not. The most important thing is to find this person first!
"What's his last name?"
The old lady raised her hands weakly. "Bring a pen and paper. It's on the table over there. Walls have ears!"
Liu Mo took the pen and paper and spread it out in front of the bed, and saw the old lady writing a name on the paper tremblingly: Yang Yizhi!
"I understand!" After Liu Mo read the name, he immediately tore it into pieces without leaving any evidence. "I will get rid of this man!"
Mrs. Zhou held his hand tightly, "Mo'er, you really can't lie." She said, "You have taken the official career, and you are destined to be extraordinary in the future. The law of the jungle is the law of the ages.
For Shiqi's sake and for your own sake, you must be ruthless! "
Liu Mo frowned, "Mo'er, please remember your teachings!"
