Chapter 166: Others are the butchers and I am the meat
Lin Zhiqing's primary goal after arriving in Dasheng was to survive and live well.
If you hide all day long as a fugitive, you will always be worried about when you will be found and executed.
It was torture.
What's more, even if my uncle has connections, can they leave Shengjing City whenever they want?
The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have already regarded Lin Congyan as a dead man, and the other members of the Lin family are actually the same in their eyes.
The simplest logic is that the fish has been thrown onto the chopping board, are you going to let it escape?
Impossible.
Others are the butchers and I am the meat.
The person holding the knife is the man standing at the pinnacle of power in Dasheng, so it is even more impossible for the Lin family to escape easily.
Although she knew that the chances of them leaving were slim, Lin Zhiqing still felt her uncle's kindness.
She explained to her uncle the impracticality of this method, and then said that it could be used as a backup option.
If they are really desperate in two days, they can give it a try.
Lin Congli knew that Lin Zhiqing was telling the truth, but seeing that Lin Zhiqing did not refute him, he immediately expressed his willingness to start preparing.
It can be seen from here alone that Lin Congli can indeed be said to have worked hard for the Lin family.
Even though his previous methods had some deviations, Lin Zhiqing could still feel his sincerity.
This is something you don't see in other people.
Lin Zhiqing had a little more respect for Lin Congli in his heart.
After the two returned to the Lin family, they were not in a very good mood.
Lin Congli knew that it was useless to just sit there, so as agreed, he immediately went to make the final preparations.
Lin Zhiqing found the people who were waiting and informed them of the situation.
“The Dali Temple is so derelict in its duty…” Lu Nanyue sat at the table, clenching her fists.
"Sister Qing, what they mean is that no matter what evidence we send over, it won't work?" Lin Yangyang put her hands on her hips.
"That's right." Lin Zhiqing nodded.
After receiving the response, Lin Yangyang exploded: "They are so unreasonable, and they are calling it a Dali Temple. Even a three-year-old child knows that there must be evidence when doing things."
"Aren't they doing this just to prove Fourth Uncle's guilt?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.
Except for Lin Yangyang who was slow to react, everyone else knew that the royal family was behind the Dali Temple.
It is precisely because they are the royal family that they fall into silence.
Even if there is evidence, it will not work. This is equivalent to telling the Lin family directly that you have no way out and can only wait for death.
"They really want to prove Fourth Uncle's guilt and cut off the Lin family's livelihood." Lin Zhiqing's eyes gradually became sharper.
"But no, we can't just wait to die."
"That's right, we can't just sit there and wait for death." Lu Huai stood up after hearing this. "No matter what the Dali Temple says, let's first spread the news that Liu Mang and Concubine Chun conspired to murder Fourth Master Lin."
"If we release it, will those people believe it?" Jiang Liuyun was a little worried.
Lu Nanyue also had this question.
"Whether you believe it or not, as long as the news spreads, there will always be people who like to watch the fun and discuss it." Lin Zhiqing continued:
"This is putting invisible pressure on the Dali Temple and the imperial court."
Lu Huai nodded, as long as Lin Zhiqing understood what he meant.
"Before going to the Dali Temple, I had already informed my uncle of the situation and arranged for someone to do this." Lin Zhiqing then said:
"I had some suspicions earlier that things wouldn't go smoothly, so I made some arrangements in advance."
Lin Zhiqing is a person who thinks ten steps ahead before taking one step. Being in the complicated situation of the Lin family, he has to be cautious.
After hearing this, Lu Huai nodded.
What he could think of, Lin Zhiqing had thought of earlier than him.
What he couldn't think of, Lin Zhiqing would never forget.
I have to say that Lin Zhiqing is indeed a person with extremely clear ideas and goals.
Her heart is not as fragile as her appearance suggests, like a red rose.
Beautiful but with thorns, the sharpness is hidden beneath the smile.
Such a Lin Zhiqing is undoubtedly eye-catching.
Jiang Liuyun was also staring at Lin Zhiqing, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Lin Yangyang didn't see the quarrel between the two people, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became:
"These officials are always mumbling nonsense, but they just let my innocent fourth uncle go to his doom."
"I'm so angry! They don't act like officials at all."
"Walls have ears." Lin Shian patted the angry Lin Yangyang's shoulder to comfort her, and then continued:
"Mrs. Chun's death was most likely part of Liu Mang's plan. Now, only the two of them know the inside story."
"If Aunt Chun hadn't died, we could at least get to know the situation from the person involved." Lin Shian sighed, a look of guilt appearing on his face.
"Zhiqing, it's my fault. I didn't keep an eye on those people when the Lin family was in turmoil. That's why Aunt Chun found the opportunity to frame Fourth Uncle."
"Wait." Lin Zhiqing stretched out his hand: "What did you just say?"
This sudden question made everyone stunned.
Lin Shian was particularly puzzled. He rolled his eyes and recalled what he had just said:
"I blame myself for not keeping an eye on the Lin family, allowing Aunt Chun to find the opportunity to escape. Is this the opportunity you took advantage of?"
"No." Lin Zhiqing took a step forward: "Previous sentence."
Lin Jiusi blinked twice again and tentatively replied, "If... Aunt Chun hadn't died, it would have been great."
When Lin Zhiqing heard this, his brows sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed. It was obvious that he had thought of something and was brainstorming.
The others looked at each other. Although they didn't understand what was going on, they all fell silent at the same time and chose not to disturb Lin Zhiqing.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Lin Zhiqing raised the corners of his lips into a faint smile again.
The moment he saw this smile, Lu Huai knew that Lin Zhiqing had come up with another idea.
She has a lot of ideas, and they often surprise people.
Lu Huai was really curious about what solution Lin Zhiqing could come up with. After all, the current situation was really a desperate situation for the Lin family.
The evidence had been produced, but it was blocked by a light and flimsy "fake".
Unless Liu Mang apologizes on his own, this matter is almost unsolvable.
But everyone knew very well that Liu Mang would not bring trouble upon himself after he had shamelessly dealt with Lin Zhiqing and tested the attitudes of the imperial court and the Dali Temple.
Lu Huai had just put the idea of Liu Mang admitting his guilt behind his mind when he met Lin Zhiqing's eyes.
Looking at the thoughtful smile on Lin Zhiqing's lips, his heart skipped a beat.
No way?
Does she really want Liu Mang to speak?
Lin Zhiqing noticed Lu Huai's eyes and saw the doubt in them.
She didn't say much, just told a few people to have a good rest, and then returned to her own yard.
She did get inspiration from Lin Shi'an's words. Since Aunt Chun couldn't open her mouth to confess her guilt, then let Liu Mang confess his guilt!
