Chapter 211 The Rules of Dasheng
If Jiang Liuyun was really very familiar with the Liu Mansion, or even knew Liu Mang personally, then what happened afterwards would be explainable.
Why was Jiang Liuyun able to escape unscathed despite such a big commotion at the Liu Mansion?
Why, without understanding psychology, could he pass through the hypnosis circle in the wasteland?
Even when faced with the choice between two paths, he deliberately pointed out a seemingly safe path.
Lin Zhiqing didn't even dare to think about what their ending would be if she had listened to Jiang Liuyun and chosen another path.
Fortunately... Lin Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief.
She even thought of the day when she went to the execution ground with Lu Huai and her cousin to scout the location, and the men in black suddenly appeared and chased her.
At that time, she felt that neither Liu Mang nor the royal family would go to the trouble of assassinating Lin Zhiqing when the Lin family was about to collapse.
Because they all believed in their hearts that Lin Zhiqing would not be able to make any waves.
The only people who knew that Lin Zhiqing had a plan to deal with the situation, besides a few people from the Lin family, were Lu Huai, Lu Nanyue, and Jiang Liuyun.
Obviously, Jiang Liuyun is more likely to do something bad than the Lu siblings.
Lin Zhiqing did not forget that Lu Huai had a deal with him.
His purpose was to use this incident to make some people see the true face of the court.
Overall, it is most likely that Jiang Liuyun sent someone to assassinate Lin Zhiqing.
Fortunately, when she was carrying out the plan at the execution ground, she was afraid that the news would leak out, so she deliberately kept a trick up her sleeve.
She had already had a rough idea of those levels in her mind, but she only brought them up on the first night of the execution.
As for setting the scene, it was all done by everyone working together.
The next day, they each went about their duties. During this time, Liu Mang's whereabouts were always under their noses, and no one could get close to him to report the news.
It was precisely Lin Zhiqing's caution that allowed the plan to be successfully implemented.
However, even so, Jiang Liuyun still did a lot of little tricks in it.
In the fight under Xuanwu Gate, if Lin Zhiqing had not kept a backup plan and Jiang Liuyun had deliberately been defeated by the white-haired man, the entire plan would have collapsed.
These doubts prevented Lin Zhiqing from treating Jiang Liuyun's missed arrow as an accident.
Even the recurrence of his old injury was probably just an excuse to numb everyone.
There were not enough people at the time, so Lin Zhiqing could only let Lin Yangyang take him and Lu Huai to carry out the next plan.
Lin Shian also rushed back to the execution ground after that.
Jiang Liuyun only has Lu Nanyue with him, and Lu Nanyue doesn't know martial arts.
Even if Jiang Liuyun slipped away quietly, she probably wouldn't notice.
But time is limited, and by the time Jiang Liuyun reaches the execution ground, it may be too late.
Liu Mang has already told the truth of the matter.
The Lin family was pardoned and Liu Mang would also be brought to trial.
But Liu Mang holds many people's secrets in his hands, and Lin Zhiqing feels that these things are most likely obtained through psychology.
Whether those who are in possession of the secret know about this is also a question.
But Lin Zhiqing tends not to know.
Because Liu Mang had been safe and sound in the past, it is possible that he used this evidence to threaten those high-ranking officials so that they would not dare to take action against him.
But after the news of the theft in Liu's mansion spread, those senior officials did not take any measures.
This is not the reaction of knowing that there is something wrong with you.
Therefore, most of these people would not take such a big risk on the execution ground and kill Liu Mang under the nose of the court.
The only person who is willing to take this risk must have a compelling reason to do so.
For example, what does Liu Mang know?
Excluding the evidence against those high-ranking officials, the most likely case is the Lin family's.
Since Liu Mang started planning so early, the Lin family might have been targeted a long time ago.
Lin Zhiqing had previously suspected that there was someone controlling the mystery behind the scenes.
But she had never understood before, apart from the royal family, who else would have such great malice towards the Lin family, a ruined family, and even wish for the death of the Lin family.
If Jiang Liuyun were brought in, everything would seem to make sense.
Jiang Liuyun and Lin Zhiqing's marriage was arranged a long time ago.
If Jiang Liuyun didn't want to, he would have a long time to plan those things.
This coincides with the time Liu Mang prepared in advance.
According to the previous inferences, all the crises Lin Zhiqing encountered since coming to Dasheng were aimed at destroying the Lin family.
And of course, I am also included in the Lin family.
Besides the royal family, the one who benefited from this was Jiang Liuyun.
Liu Mang is most likely Jiang Liuyun's man.
As long as Lin Zhiqing died, this marriage would be in name only, and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion would not lose its reputation of being affectionate and righteous.
Fame, fame again!
Whether it was the Lin family, the Zhenyuan Marquisate, or even the royal family, they all used this "reputation" as a fig leaf.
I wonder how much blood and flesh are buried under this fig leaf, and how many ignorant souls have been sacrificed.
But this reputation is the rule of this world.
Lin Zhiqing broke the charcoal pencil in his hand.
If Jiang Liuyun really intended to cancel the engagement, then Lin Zhiqing's death would be the best option.
After sorting out all the things, Lin Zhiqing found that bringing Jiang Liuyun in as the bad guy made the whole process seem much more complete.
Those things that I couldn’t figure out or grasp now have a direction.
And... these things perfectly match the dream in Lin Zhiqing's subconscious mind.
Whether it was the feelings she had unconsciously developed for Lu Huai, or Jiang Liuyun's actions, taking out the scenes in her dream, that was everything she had experienced.
Regarding Lu Huai, it was only after having that dream that Lin Zhiqing gradually came to understand his own inner thoughts.
Because her subconscious mind will not deceive others, and even if it can, it cannot deceive itself.
But everything related to Jiang Liuyun was something she had not figured out before.
Now I figured it out, but it's not good news after all.
Lin Zhiqing sighed slightly.
Actually, just a little bit.
Her original plan was to discuss breaking off the engagement with Jiang Liuyun with Lin Congli after the matter with her fourth uncle was settled.
In the past, the Lin family was in disarray. Even if she brought up this matter, it would most likely be rejected because Lin Congli and others wanted to take advantage of the power of the Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion.
During this period, whenever the Zhenyuan Marquisate proposed to cancel the engagement, Lin Zhiqing would happily accept it, and would only be ridiculed by people in Shengjing City.
But it was just a few words, not a big problem for Lin Zhiqing.
The only thing that made her hesitate was Lin Yangyang's reputation.
After coming to Dasheng, she understood that individuals and families share the same fate.
But after being with Lin Yangyang for so long, Lin Zhiqing has some understanding of her.
Putting aside the fact that her father's treason had ruined the Lin family's reputation, both Lin Yangyang and she had a bad reputation in Beijing.
Because in the eyes of the wives of those high-ranking officials, neither of them was dignified, quiet, and law-abiding.
Lin Zhiqing doesn't care about this, and Lin Yangyang cares even less than her.
After knowing this, Lin Zhiqing had a way to make Lin Congli and others agree to the decision to cancel the engagement.
But Jiang Liuyun happened to reveal his true colors at this time.
A slight mistake can lead to a huge error.
