Chapter 179 The gap between people
After an incense stick of time, Lin Zhiqing watched the unresponsive figure gradually disappear into the darkness. He turned and walked into the house without a trace of worry on his face.
Lin Congli followed behind her with no expression on his face.
Lin Shian and Lin Yangyang looked at each other, worry evident in their eyes.
Lin Yangyang couldn't hold back her thoughts, so she quickly stepped forward and walked to Lin Zhiqing's side: "Zhiqing, aren't you afraid that he won't do what you say?"
"Don't worry." Lin Zhiqing said with a brisk pace: "Even if he tells others about my coercion and bribery, Liu Mang will still take the bait."
"Ah?" Lin Yangyang was a little confused: "If he tells this to others, won't we be exposed?"
"Exposed? How?" Lin Zhiqing looked at Lin Yangyang with a smile.
Although Lin Congli had no expression on his face, he was very nervous.
Except for Lin Zhiqing, no one else really believed it.
After all, how much trust can you expect from someone with a history of betrayal?
Lin Zhiqing turned around and found that everyone was looking at her with confusion.
Only then did she realize that the others had no knowledge of psychology and were not familiar with Liu Mang's style, so they naturally could not understand the deep meaning of what she had just said.
After returning to the main hall, she began to explain patiently.
"Just now, I specifically asked Ying to tell Liu Mang that the Lin family was going to rob the execution ground. This is an open and obvious matter, so it naturally has no appeal to Liu Mang."
"But if there is other evidence, that would be different."
"I went to the Liu Mansion and I know Liu Mang very well. His greatest characteristic is caution."
"That's true." Lin Yangyang pinched her chin thoughtfully. "The Lin family has already reached the point of being confiscated, and he still doesn't dare to withdraw his spies."
Lin Congli's face turned cold. "He went through so much trouble to get to your fourth uncle. He definitely won't be willing to do that unless he sees our Lin family destroyed with his own eyes."
"That's right." Lin Shian felt deeply.
Lin Zhiqing nodded. "So, if I don't convey every word I say to Liu Mang, the mere fact that we have other evidence in our hands will make Liu Mang uneasy."
.
"He will definitely come!"
"What if we shouldn't tell him everything about our threats?" Lin Yangyang frowned.
Lin Zhiqing's eyes were firm: "He will come too!"
Three folds, no matter how you fold it, Liu Mang will come.
Lin Shian was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"As I said, Liu Mang is too cautious. To put it bluntly, he is too suspicious." Lin Zhiqing said while looking at the topographic map:
"Besides, he is very confident."
"This can be seen from the fact that he hid the evidence in that secret room. He was confident that no one could break the hypnosis technique in that secret room."
"If he knew we were forcing him to say things he shouldn't have said, even if he thought we had deliberately summoned him, he would still be confident that he could defeat us."
"In his eyes, we have already been defeated. Even robbing the execution ground is just a struggle before death."
"Plus, we previously dumped the black-clad man's body at the Dali Temple. This behavior will probably make him think that I'm just a woman acting on impulse."
"So we let our guard down?" Lin Yangyang interjected.
"Smart!" Lin Zhiqing snapped his fingers, praising him generously. "Being careless is one reason. He's also afraid that we'll ruin this elaborate scheme he's worked so hard to set up. That's the other reason."
"He won't be at peace until he sees us beheaded."
After being praised like this, Lin Yangyang could no longer hear what Lin Zhiqing said next. She pouted with a proud look on her face.
Lin Congli looked at her like this, couldn't bear to look at her and looked away, sighing continuously.
The smart one is not Lin Yangyang, but Lin Zhiqing!
They are clearly all descendants of the Lin family, so why is there such a big gap between them?
Lin Yangyang had no idea that his father was slandering him in his heart, and he was already feeling a little proud:
"After hearing what my sister said, everything should be fine. Let's go to bed early."
As she said that, she put her hands behind her back and walked out the door.
Lin Shian pinched her shoulders expressionlessly: "Sister, those people outside are all from the imperial court, can you sleep well?"
"Why can't I sleep?" Lin Yangyang blinked, looking confused.
"Cousin, it's too dangerous outside now. Someone might try to steal our evidence, and that would be troublesome." Lin Zhiqing's tone was like coaxing a child.
Hearing her say this, Lin Yangyang readily agreed: "Then I won't sleep today. I will watch carefully and will definitely not let them cause trouble for you, Sister Qing."
"Yeah." Lin Zhiqing smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Lin Yangyang pointed her toes and instantly flew onto the roof, sitting down on it properly.
Lin Shian crossed his arms and said, "My words are becoming increasingly useless now. He only listens to you, Zhiqing."
"It's better to listen to Zhiqing, it's better to listen to Zhiqing." Lin Congli murmured.
Lin Zhiqing smiled slightly. Apart from anything else, his cousin did feel safe sitting on the roof.
"Uncle, we'll be busy tomorrow, so go get some rest." Lin Shi'an clenched the sword in his hand and said, "With my sister and I here tonight, nothing will happen."
"What are you talking about?" Lin Congli waved his hand and said, "You young people should take the lead. I can't be a drag."
"Your body..." Lin Shian looked a little embarrassed.
"Cousin, my uncle is the one who has the final say in the Changning Marquisate after all. Our Marquisate was founded on martial arts."
"That's right!" Lin Zhiqing's words were exactly what Lin Congli wanted: "Zhiqing is right, don't underestimate me, kid."
Lin Shian looked at Lin Zhiqing, and when he saw Lin Zhiqing blink, he spoke: "Uncle, let's guard the Lin family together tonight."
Lin Congli nodded, and he seemed to have become several years more energetic. As if he had been given a sacred mission, he left the main hall and went to the east courtyard with a rosy face.
After he left, Lin Shian looked at Lin Yangyang: "Uncle..."
"Cousin, you still don't understand Uncle." Lin Zhiqing shook his head slightly: "What he fears most now is that he will not be allowed to do anything. This will make him feel that he is old and can no longer help."
"I definitely don't mean that." Lin Shian kept waving his hands.
"I know." Lin Zhiqing yawned, "But uncle tends to keep everything to himself. If he thinks too much, he won't be able to see the light."
Lin Zhiqing is indeed right about this.
"Cousin, I'm a little tired now. Fourth Uncle will most likely be executed tomorrow or the next day, so we have a lot to do."
"I need to have a good rest, otherwise my body won't be able to bear it."
"Go ahead." Lin Shi'an put his hands behind his back and said, "With us here, you won't have to worry tonight."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Lin Zhiqing said solemnly.
Lin Shian puffed out his chest and nodded slightly.
