Chapter 178 Double Agent! Use the opponent's strategy against you!
To be more precise, it was his name in the Lin family.
Ying slowly raised his head and saw Lin Congli's face: "Master... Master!?"
It wasn't just Lin Congli. The servant looked up and saw Lin Zhiqing, Lin Yangyang, and Lin Shian were all there!
Before he could say anything, he felt dizzy and was picked up by Lin Shian.
Soon, the group arrived at Lin Congli's yard.
"Bang!"
Lin Shian threw Ying to the ground without mercy.
Lin Yangyang was very angry and pointed at the person on the ground who didn't respond and started questioning:
"No, Sister Qing told me at the beginning that someone would be restless tonight, but I never thought that person would be you!"
"You have been with my father since you were a child. He has treated you well. Why did you betray the Lin family?"
Lin Shian grabbed Lin Yangyang's arm and signaled her not to get too excited.
Lin Zhiqing? Was it Lin Zhiqing who discovered his whereabouts?
He shouldn't have looked at Lin Zhiqing who was sitting there drinking tea.
He was unable to answer Lin Yangyang's question and slowly reached for his waist.
But before he could reach the thing around his waist, Lin Shian kicked his hand away.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak.
Then, Lin Shian took out the small jade bottle from his waist, which contained a poison.
"You've done something so unkind and unjust. Do you really think that dying will be the end of it?"
"Finished?" Lin Congli's expression remained unchanged.
But his hands tightly gripping the chair and his slightly heaving chest showed that he was very angry at the moment:
"You shouldn't be pecking at dirty water all the time. I picked you up from the beggars' pile and gave you this name so that I could teach you to be upright and honest!"
"Is this how you repay me now?"
Ying Ying got up and knelt on the ground, kowtowed twice to Lin Congli, but never spoke.
Lin Zhiqing knew what was going on and spoke slowly, "Since you've already committed treason, why are you knelt down and pretending to be sorry?"
"Are you still counting on my uncle to save you again?"
Hearing this, Ying's pupils shrank and he pursed his lips slightly, as if Lin Zhiqing saw through him. He turned his head away and did not answer.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing curled the corners of his lips slightly.
If this wasn't such a stubborn person who would have died the moment he was discovered, Lin Zhiqing would probably have had a little more respect for him.
But why was the poison hidden around the waist instead of in the mouth?
Why didn’t you just swallow the poison and die in that cave?
His actions just now clearly showed that he had an extremely strong desire to survive.
As long as you have the desire to survive, it will be easy.
At the beginning, Lin Zhiqing asked people to push the straw back to test this idea.
That’s right, after returning from the execution ground at the entrance of the vegetable market, Lin Zhiqing secretly asked his cousin to check every corner of the Lin family’s house.
Because she always suspected that there were other forces among the Lin family.
This inspection did find several problematic areas.
In addition to the royal family, Liu Mang should have also placed people in the Lin family.
Otherwise, he would always know that Lin Congyan was in love with his mother, so he found Chunqin who looked like his mother to lure Lin Jiusi into the trap and seduce Lin Congyan?
There is only one possibility that can explain this matter, that is, someone in the Lin family leaked it.
Judging from the timing, even Lin Zhiqing knew about this matter only when Lin Jingya revealed it when she was falsely accused of murdering her cousin.
Lin Congli's attitude towards this matter that day did not show any particular surprise, which means that he knew about it to some extent.
In this way, Lin Zhiqing narrowed down the scope of the accomplice to the people around Lin Congli.
She did doubt Lin Congli at first, but Lin Congli's performance in recent days dispelled her doubts.
So his attention turned to the three or four people that Lin Congli trusted the most.
When she dismissed the servants yesterday, she took special care to observe these three or four people and found that they all chose to stay.
At this point, there are two types of people who are willing to stay.
The first type is those who are truly loyal to the Lin family and are willing to live and die with the Lin family.
The second type is those who have not yet achieved their goals.
Judging from Liu Mang's cautious style of doing things, Lin Zhiqing guessed that Liu Mang would not withdraw his people from the Lin family until the last moment.
In other words, as long as his goal has not been achieved, his people will not be allowed to withdraw.
But tonight is the last time. If the Lin family is exiled, the remaining servants will not be able to escape from the Lin family.
What order could be more important than one's own life? This is the human heart.
Lin Zhiqing guessed that someone would be restless tonight.
Therefore, she deliberately let everyone pretend to be asleep, so that the accomplice would think that the Lin family had run out of tricks and would be eager to show up.
This appearance was exactly what Lin Zhiqing wanted.
In order to implement their plan perfectly, they had to let Liu Mang leave the Liu Mansion and go to the execution ground in Caishikou.
And the lack of response in front of him was obviously the best bait.
"Are you Liu Mang's man?" Lin Zhiqing stared at the unresponsive eyes when he spoke.
When the others saw Lin Zhiqing begin the interrogation, they quietly stepped aside.
Although Lin Congli was upset, he knew that Lin Zhiqing's action must have been justified, so he stopped talking.
In response, he turned his eyes to the left, his body trembled slightly, and avoided Lin Zhiqing's gaze.
This is clearly a sign of guilty conscience.
He is most likely Liu Mang's man.
Moreover, he hid it very deeply.
If he hadn't walked into a trap tonight, Lin Zhiqing really wouldn't be able to confirm the identity of the accomplice.
The servant Lin Congli used most often was Bu Ying, who was Lin Congli's confidant.
It was also because of this that Lin Zhiqing once again felt the horror of Liu Mang.
He sent Bu Ying to the Lin family several years in advance. With his help, Bu Ying went from being a gatekeeper to Lin Congli's confidant.
Such a fast promotion is quite rare in the Lin family.
This is similar to how Liu Mang rose from a minor official to a fifth-rank official in just a few years.
Lin Zhiqing doesn't believe that there is no trace of psychology in this.
Putting these things out of his mind, Lin Zhiqing slowly stood up and stood in front of Ying:
"Go back and tell Liu Mang that the Lin family is planning to rob the execution ground, and they seem to have other evidence in their hands."
"You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you. I won't work for the Lin family." You shouldn't turn your head away.
"Don't do it?" Lin Zhiqing circled around him:
"If you don't do it, I'll have someone put you back into that hole. You've experienced it just now, and I don't mind letting you experience it again."
When he heard this, he shuddered and the feeling of despair just now came back to his heart.
Seeing this, Lin Zhiqing struck while the iron was hot: "If you tell Liu Mang the truth according to my words, you will be free in the future, and I can also give you a sum of money and the indenture."
In other words, he can continue to live with an unknown identity by relying on that indenture.
This kind of risk is much smaller than the risk of trying to make a living from gangsters.
Although Ying still didn't say anything, his expression no longer had the firmness it had just had.
