Lord of the House

Vol 2 Chapter 16: Ancestral night fire

Lin's Ancestral Hall is also known as Chunsheng Hall.

The ancestors of the Lin family were once the servants of Emperor Gaozu, and he followed Gaozu in Jiangning to conquer the north and the south, and made numerous meritorious deeds. Chunshengtang is a house built by the ancestors of the Lin family after returning to their hometown. Chunshengtang stood in the forest for a hundred years, but it was destroyed by a torrential rain. Lin's family was only four miles away. He rebuilt the Lin family's big mansion at this time, and rebuilt Chunshengtang on the foundation of the old house. As the Lin family ancestral hall.

Chunshengtang covers an area of ​​about ten acres, with seven or eight courtyards. In addition to the ancestral hall, the Lin family also set up Yixue, Nursing Home, Anjifang, and Luze Garden in Chunshengtang.

In the east side hall of the ancestral hall in the front yard, there are four goose-footed bronze lamps on both walls. The lamps are shaped like a geese alone. Shine bright as day. There are many people under the lamp, and the sound of bamboo, wood and meat and the moan that can't stop chewing wood make people feel chills, just like hearing the abnormal sound of fingernails slicing through porcelain, making people feel chilled all over. To stand up.

Under the bright candle, the brown age spots on Lin Tingxun's face became more and more obvious. The second son, Lin Xuzong, tied Wu Hua Da and knelt on the cold brick floor. , Zhao Neng's lower body was completely stripped, and thirty vines and whips saw flesh, only Zhao Neng's buttocks and thighs were bloody. This tragic situation, the people next to him were also shocked. Zhao Neng's father, Zhao Changshan, the old servant of the Lin family, knelt in front of the ancestral hall and did not dare to intercede. Zhao Neng's mother was also crying and sent back.

Zhao Neng abandoned his lord and fled back to Shanglin alone and made up lies.

Although many people knew in their hearts that the dispute in the Luoma Market tonight was caused by Lin Fu deliberately causing trouble, but Lin Fu was in charge of things, and before this "reason", the second son, Lin Xuzong, could only kneel in front of the ancestral hall and admit his mistake.

Lin Xuzong knelt under the candle, but he did not hide the fierce light in his eyes. He wanted to smash Lin Fu into ten thousand pieces. He already knew that Lin Fu was expelled from the sect and from Shiliang County. He thought that there was such a cheap thing ? It's just that he must kneel in front of the ancestral hall to admit his mistake, watching Zhao Neng, who is loyal to him, beat him to death with a whip.

Of course, Lin Xuzong knew in his heart that his immortal father wanted to take the opportunity to kill his majesty, otherwise the bitter master Lin Fu was not here, why would he need to take Zhao Neng to death? He took the opportunity to warn those who were close to him in the clan that he was the head of the Lin clan before he was too old to die.

Lin Xuzong coldly looked at Gu Yingxiu, who was glamorous in front of Mingzhu, this so-called Qi Yiniang, thinking that one day he would be able to strip this woman off and torment her.

"Twenty whips have been hit..." The executioner saw that Zhao Neng was lying on the ground with only the breath of his hair left. If he really wanted to hit ten more whips, Zhao Neng's life would not be guaranteed, so he hesitated whether to use it again. , looked back to see the patriarch Lin Tingxun.

"Puff!" Lin Tingxun said through gritted teeth.

"Zhao Neng's fault, and his fault will not kill you!" Lin Xuzong walked forward on his knees, knelt in front of his father Lin Tingxun, and said, "Isn't there still ten whips? I gave him the head office, father, you should also read Zhao Neng has served you for three years, but you can't really kill him. Lin Fu has grievances in his heart, and that's enough, father, you can't chill the hearts of the clan, who else will serve the Lin family in the future?"

"Ting Xun, this child Zhao Neng is not bad in nature, leave him a chance to reform." At this time, the clan elder and others came forward to plead for Zhao Neng.

"Since you are willing to take the punishment for Zhao Neng, you will take the rest of the ten whips!" Lin Tingxun winked at the executioner mercilessly, then turned back to look at his son's eyes, and said in his heart, "I won't beat you today." You, you don't know who is the head of the Lin family.

The two walked over and dragged Lin Xuzong to the middle of the side hall, and whispered in Lin Xuzong's ear: "Second son, I'm sorry, you can bear it." some pain. Zhao Nengyan was about to struggle to get ten whips left, but he passed out; Lin Xuzong received ten whips, and he limped up and looked at his father: "Is it enough?"

"Always let you remember this lesson," Lin Tingxun glanced at Zhao Neng, his son Zhao Neng, who was lying on the brick with only the breath of his hair, and instructed the people around him, "Send him to the Anji Yuan, and take good medicine for him to use... ..." He said to his son Lin Xuzong, "If you can bear the pain, I will tell you a few more words in front of your ancestors."

Everyone else knew the opportunity to retreat, and the seventh lady, Gu Yingxiu, was anxious about Lin Bing, so she said to Lin Tingxun, "Master, then I will go back to the big mansion first."

Lin Tingxun nodded, there was no expression on his face, Gu Yingxiu was worried that Lin Fu didn't know the current situation, and thought that if he thought that Lin Xuzong would swallow his breath after this humiliation, he would be very wrong, and he didn't care about Lin Tingxun. No matter what, she left the ancestral hall in a hurry.

Lin Tingxun closed the door lightly, and said to Xu Zong, who was looking at the lame standing in the middle of the side hall, "I know you are not reconciled, you are not reconciled in many places, I hope you can bear with this today. When I lost sight of it, Lin Bie came back from a new life. You don't have to worry about anything, he will leave Shanglin, and he will not be able to threaten you in the future..."

"You didn't give him a knife holder and knelt down like a dog on his neck in public and couldn't move!" Lin Xuzong said coldly, without showing any respect to his father Lin Tingxun.

"Don't you even have the patience to wait for me to die!" Lin Tingxun was out of breath and snarled, "Do you know who Lin Fu rescued in the county today? Leave the handle, and the Lin family will destroy it for you!"

"Then don't leave the handle." Lin Xuzong limped out of the east side hall and asked his wife and servants who were in the courtyard to help him lie on the soft couch. He didn't go back to the big house, so he was carried directly Go up to a garden on the south bank of Linxi.

************************

Gu Yingxiu walked out of the ancestral hall, and the carriage stopped outside the ancestral hall.

The moon is bright and clear, and the sky and the earth seem to be covered with a layer of gauze. It seems that the light is drifting away, but it cannot be seen from a distance. There are also layers of dark images in the fields, which are dark waves. Just as Gu Yingxiu was about to get into the carriage, she saw Zhao Hu's mother, Mrs. Zhao, standing beside the carriage, not her old coachman Zhao.

Peeping Zhao's eyes to the carriage curtain, Gu Yingxiu said to Cui'er who was next to her, "Let me be alone in the carriage for a moment..." Stepping on the pedals, he got on the carriage and lifted the carriage curtain, although for a while I can't adapt to the dark environment, but I can still feel the familiar man's breath.

Gu Yingxiu sat down, put down the curtains of the car, and got used to the dark environment in the carriage. Only then did she vaguely see Lin Bie's shadow and casually sit on the brocade couch and said, "How dare you come..." Feeling his own voice Slightly older, Mrs. Zhao followed her personal maid and two other healthy women outside the carriage. If anyone knew that there was a man hidden in the carriage, he would be dragged into the ancestral hall and lashed with thirty lashes. Whip of meat. In order to speak in a lower voice, Gu Yingxiu leaned towards Lin Fu, seeing his eyes in the dark like shiny beads in the dark night. He was full of resentment and wanted to ask questions, but he softened for no reason and said, "How did you come to find me? How far should you go now?"

"Lin Tingxun won't kill me." Lin Fu smelled the good smell coming from Gu Yingxiu. After Gu Yingxiu entered Lin's house, it was the first time that Gu Yingxiu was so close to her. The aroma on Yingxiu is warmer and more seductive.

"Lin Tingxun will not, Lin Xuzong will. Lin Xuzong will swallow your heart alive!" Gu Yingxiu felt that Lin Fu's hot breath was spraying on his face, and his face turned slightly, "Yes, without Lin Tingxun's approval, Lin Xuzong can't send it. Township, but do you think Lin Xuzong has no other people around?"

"Then I'll wait for him to send someone to kill him, and it's okay to give you another gift to Sister Yingxiu." Lin Fu said with a smile.

"What?" Gu Yingxiu listened to Lin Bie's relaxed tone, and listened to what he meant. He didn't worry about the subordinates that Lin Xuzong had secretly cultivated, and asked him in surprise, "Are you trying to anger Lin Xuzong today?"

"Sister Yingxiu, you are clear that the Patriarch will eventually pass on the family business to the Second Young Master. At this time, he suppresses him, but the Patriarch does not want to go, and does not want to be a superstitious emperor before he dies!" Lin Fu said that there are some things in the Lin family. Many people can understand that Lin Tingxun has no energy and is getting old, but he is not reconciled that the power in the family has been left to the ambitious and the estranged between father and son long before his death. The second son Lin Xuzong, he only thought about letting the seventh lady show up for him all these years so that the situation is always under his control - this is why the second son Lin Xuzong is still hostile to Gu Yingxiu.

Lin Tingxun will not let go of power for a day, but it does not mean that the second son Lin Xuzong will have patience for one day~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although Lin Xuzong is unlikely to commit the scandal of murdering his father and seizing power, as long as the nail of Gu Yingxiu is removed, Lin Xuzong would take it for granted that he was sure to force his Lao Tzu to become a "supreme emperor".

"You are really different from the past. You have become a bold and daring master," Gu Yingxiu said with a sigh. He didn't expect Lin Fu to be able to see through the subtleties. , She was struggling to support the brocade couch, and wanted to sit down, but thinking that the two were so close, didn't she just sit in his arms? Gu Yingxiu's face became a little hot when she thought of this, and she said, "Today, there was news that you were causing trouble in the county, and I wanted to arrest Zhao Hu and teach him a lesson, but I didn't expect you to be the one who caused trouble. …”

"What's wrong?" Lin Bie asked.

"You know who you rescued in the county, and left without saying a word, and you don't want to repay such a great kindness to others?" Gu Yingxiu asked.

"..." Lin Bie grinned, looking at Gu Yingxiu holding her hands in front of him, he had the idea of ​​hugging her into his arms, and said, "What are you planning, I will learn from you, Sister Yingxiu in the future. Let’s discuss it together and say yes.”

"What? Others owe you, why do you ask me for it?" Gu Yingxiu said, and felt that it was a little flirtatious, and his ears were slightly hot. The slow-moving carriage stopped and got off, and heard Zhao Hu's mother ask from the front of the car, "Who?"

Gu Yingxiu was shocked. At this time, if people found out that she and Lin Bie were hiding in the same carriage, there would be no good fruit to eat. Her subordinates did not support the brocade couch, and the person fell into Lin Bie's arms with a sharp heart. When it comes to her throat, she is only worried about who is blocking her carriage in front of her? My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
