Chapter 165 Lin Congli's Arrangement
Lin Zhiqing didn't know what Liu Mang was thinking.
She was very clear about the current situation of the Lin family, so she was not in a very good mood.
She and Liu Mang both knew that if those letters were to be spread, it would be a disaster for the current Lin family.
Lin Zhiqing might have been killed to silence him the moment he went to find someone with the letter.
There are too many powerful and wealthy people in Shengjing City. In comparison, the Lin family is just an ordinary family with the title of a marquisate.
The current situation is not even that of an ordinary family.
Therefore, unless he was absolutely confident that he could guarantee his own safety, Lin Zhiqing would not take the risk of making a fuss about those letters.
Liu Mang also knew this, so he felt relieved after he realized that Lin Zhiqing had been rejected.
In his eyes, Lin Zhiqing and the Lin family can do nothing but make harsh remarks.
Just as Lin Zhiqing was thinking, Lin Congli spoke: "Zhiqing, you have worked hard these days."
"According to the current situation, your fourth uncle..."
He didn't finish his words, but both of them knew it clearly.
Lin Congyan is in danger.
The Dali Temple did not recognize the evidence presented by Lin Zhiqing and his team, so they had to find another way to save the Lin family.
But what else can we do?
Lin Zhiqing didn't say anything, but was thinking about how to break the current situation.
After a pause, seeing that Lin Zhiqing didn't speak, Lin Congli sighed softly: "If... if the Lin family's fate is over, we must not sit idly by and wait for death."
"The foundation built by our ancestors cannot be destroyed in our hands. Take Shi'an and Yangyang with you and leave."
Lin Congli's expression was very serious, but he also revealed a hint of fatigue:
"The Ling Family Teahouse in the north of the city is my property. No one knows about this except the old marquis."
"When we get back to the Lin family later, pack up some gold and silver and go to the Ling family teahouse. Someone there will take you out."
He spoke quickly and in a low voice.
Lin Zhiqing didn't react for a moment. It was actually Lin Congli who said those words just now.
"Uncle, you... you know that if we set foot outside Shengjing City, we will be labeled as fugitives."
"Let him be a fugitive, as long as he survives." Lin Congli sighed, as if all the spirit he had sustained over the years disappeared with this breath.
"Being a fugitive is equivalent to violating the laws of Dasheng..." Lin Zhiqing said slowly.
"Law?" Before she could finish, Lin Congli gave a wry smile:
"If Cong Yan is indeed guilty of those three crimes, even if he is executed today, I will not say a single word."
"But he didn't. Yet, the laws of Dasheng forced him to this point, and forced our Lin family to this point. Even the Dali Temple has become a place where right and wrong are reversed."
"Why should I obey such a law?"
His tone was filled with sadness and despair.
Lin Zhiqing's eyes moved slightly: "Just like my father back then?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Congli paused, and then his eyes revealed undisguised grief.
Lin Zhiqing's tone was very flat, as if asking what he had eaten today.
But such a simple sentence caused a huge wave in Lin Congli's heart.
"Your father..." Lin Congli didn't finish his sentence, but sighed deeply: "The situation back then was even more severe than it is today."
He opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.
As if he had thought of something, he changed the subject: "Back then, I was able to protect everyone in the Lin family except your father, and I can do it now."
"Go away, go far away. As long as you are still here, the Lin family will still be here."
He seemed not to want to talk about that past event, and seeing this, Lin Zhiqing did not ask any further questions.
She brought up this matter just to see how Lin Congli was doing.
After what happened with his fourth uncle, Lin Zhiqing began to have some doubts about his father's treason many years ago.
Liu Mang had no connection with the Lin family before.
According to the information Lin Zhiqing had, he and his father were from completely different places and had no connection at all.
But why would such a person target Lin Congyan?
Lin Zhiqing thought about it and came up with two possibilities.
First of all, it is possible that the imperial court did not like the Lin family and deliberately pushed Liu Mang out to plan all this, just to deal a final blow to the Lin family.
But if that is the case, the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice will act even faster than they are now, and he will not have the opportunity to investigate the case.
The second possibility is somewhat similar to the first, that is, it is possible that one of his father's former enemies instructed Liu Mang to do these things.
But no matter which possibility it is, there is one point that cannot be explained.
Chunqin was specially placed in Qianjin Pavilion by Liu Mang according to his fourth uncle's preferences.
It is not easy to find someone who looks like Lin Zhiqing's mother.
So, how did Liu Mang know that his fourth uncle had feelings for his mother?
She asked around at the Lin family and found out that at first it seemed that only Lin Jingya knew about this matter.
Because fourth uncle's study is not open to anyone easily.
Lin Jiusi had to take care of the Lin family's miscellaneous affairs. He originally wanted to replace his fourth uncle, so he sneaked into the study and discovered this secret.
But they knew about this later than Haruko appeared.
Because the timing doesn't match, these two people are not the culprits behind the betrayal.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing felt that his mother was the most innocent in this matter.
My mother had no idea of the inexplicable feelings that my fourth uncle had for her.
This is what Aunt Mu and Lin Zhiqing said before.
My mother came to Shengjing alone. My father was busy with military affairs, so Aunt Mu usually accompanied my mother.
Aunt Mu knows my mother even better than she knows my father.
The mother never left the house and had only met Lin Congyan a few times. She did not take this younger brother seriously.
In other words, everything was Lin Congyan's wishful thinking.
But after the matter was exposed by Lin Jingya, it was only the mother who bore the blame, which was really unfair.
Lin Zhiqing silently swore in her heart that one day she would seek justice for her mother and for other women who had experienced similar things.
She kept this in mind and her thoughts returned to the right track.
Apart from Lin Jingya and Lin Jiusi, the people in the Lin family who are most likely to know this secret are the other people in power and Fourth Aunt.
Yes, she suspected that there was a traitor in the Lin family.
But for a moment, he couldn't think of any reason why the traitor would betray the Lin family.
So, this point has been stuck in the middle, neither going up nor down, and I can't figure it out.
Seizing this opportunity, Lin Zhiqing definitely wanted to test Lin Congli.
But she didn't expect Lin Congli to say such a thing.
Lin Congli, that stubborn guy, actually changed his mind!
Lin Zhiqing didn't know how long Lin Congli had thought about it before he came up with this idea of sending them away.
But they can't leave.
I can leave Shengjing and Dasheng, but can I leave this land?
