Chapter 229 Lin Qingshan’s Foresight
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing raised his head.
But Lin Qingshan thought quickly and reacted even faster: "I remember there was a girl who died by your side. Her name was Biluo, right?"
Lin Zhiqing nodded.
"You are surrounded by elderly people, but Biluo is impetuous. It is possible that she intercepted the letter." The old marquis thought carefully before speaking.
Lin Zhiqing could easily feel that this was not an excuse, nor was it just a justification.
Furthermore, there was no trace of lying on his face, only an expression of recollection and contemplation.
Moreover, he seemed to be very familiar with the people around him, but not particularly familiar with them.
In other words, he had an impression of Biluo before, but now he was sure of this person after careful consideration.
Lin Zhiqing nodded and said, "Maybe it's her."
She didn't say anything final.
Lin Qingshan was not angry: "Qing girl, I know you may have some resentment towards me in your heart, but the Lin family's situation is special. I can't appear in Shengjing again."
This is a very obscure statement.
Why can’t it appear in Shengjing?
Apart from the royal family, who else can stop Marquis Changning?
This also vaguely explains why no matter what happened in the Lin family before, the old marquis could only communicate through letters and never showed up.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to go to Shengjing, it’s that he simply can’t go to Shengjing.
Lin Zhiqing had guessed this before, and now his guess has been verified.
This was Marquis Changning's explanation to her.
Lin Zhiqing followed the trend and asked about the situation in Bianliang:
"Grandfather, although the capital is dangerous, Bianliang must be difficult to stay in, right?"
Lin Qingshan took a sip of tea and then nodded: "It's not particularly peaceful here in Bianliang."
"Ever since Jingya came here, the situation has gotten worse than before."
"Sister Jingya?" Lin Zhiqing was a little surprised when he heard this.
First of all, the topic unexpectedly tilted towards his own goal.
She immediately began to judge based on Lin Qingshan's expression, trying to determine whether these words were said intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Qingshan's tone was calm and his facial expression was completely normal.
Lin Zhiqing was a little unsure.
The key point is that what Lin Qingshan said revealed too much information.
Why did the Lin family become restless after Lin Jingya came?
Lin Zhiqing wouldn't be so stupid as to think that Lin Qingshan was saying that Lin Jingya was arrogant and domineering, causing unrest in the Lin family.
After all, the elements that make the Lin family uneasy are mostly external forces.
Because if it's internal, it's already a mess.
Besides, Lin Jingya has been in Bianliang for so long, but no major incidents have happened in Bianliang so far, which shows that Lin Qingshan has played a very good restraining role.
Apart from the restraining effect, it is likely to have a protective effect as well.
This protection refers to those kinds of uneasy factors.
After Lin Jingya came, the crisis also came, which is why the Lin family became uneasy.
As for where the crisis came from... Jiang Liuyun's face appeared in Lin Zhiqing's mind.
If there really is something behind the murder of his cousin, then Jiang Liuyun has already dealt with all those who knew about it one after another.
Lin Jingya is a loophole.
These thoughts quickly flashed through Lin Zhiqing's mind, and Lin Qingshan continued her words:
"Ever since Jingya returned to the Lin family, I have arranged several more layers of guards."
If what I said just now was just a brief introduction, what I said now can be considered a clear statement.
Arranging a guardhouse serves a protective purpose.
Going deeper, some people wanted to approach or even eliminate Lin Jingya through force.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing curled the corners of his mouth, thinking that he had made the right decision to come here.
"Sister Jingya, do you know about the situation yourself?" Lin Zhiqing asked.
"I know, but she keeps saying that you want to harm her." The old marquis obviously knew Lin Jingya's situation very well.
Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but curl his lips: "It's been a long time since we last met. Sister Jingya is still as smart as ever."
Anyone could tell that this was a sarcastic remark.
"Ever since she came to Bianliang, I had her locked up, and she has never caused any major trouble." The old marquis further explained his actions.
After hearing this, Lin Zhiqing raised his eyes and looked at him.
With just a quick glance, Lin Zhiqing realized that Lin Qingshan only mentioned Lin Jingya's affairs because Lin Zhiqing was interested.
In other words, he may have guessed Lin Zhiqing's intention for coming here.
"Grandfather, I understand."
This is quite interesting... Lin Zhiqing felt the kindness released by Lin Qingshan.
At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this Marquis Changning was indeed not an ordinary person.
At least, her eldest uncle and fourth uncle failed to inherit any of the style of Marquis Changning.
In just a few words, Lin Zhiqing could tell that Lin Qingshan was a person who was good at solving problems.
But Bianliang was far away from Shengjing City, and Lin Qingshan was unable to reach them. There were also many things in the letter that could not be explained.
For example, in the case of Lin Jingya, before the old marquis was sure about Lin Zhiqing's situation, he couldn't be sure who wanted to attack Lin Jingya.
What if it really is Lin Zhiqing?
So, he kept silent for the sake of the stability of the Lin family.
Lin Zhiqing's recent performance and his actions when he came to Bianliang gave Lin Qingshan a general understanding of this person.
If we rule out the possibility that Lin Zhiqing holds a grudge against Lin Jingya behind her back, then there is something wrong with this matter.
Any questions?
Lin Qingshan had not personally witnessed Lin Zhiqing's murder of his cousin, and he did not know the deeper details of the matter, so of course he could not deduce it.
All he could do was to be alert, but without perspective, it was already very difficult to reach this point.
This is a good thing for Lin Zhiqing.
It doesn't take much effort to talk and do things with smart people.
At least here, Lin Zhiqing felt that Lin Qingshan would cooperate with his actions regarding Lin Jingya's affairs.
Just as I thought of this, Uncle Wen, who had just gone out, came back holding a small box.
Lin Zhiqing took a quick glance. Based on her experience in managing the Lin family over the past two days, she could easily tell that the small box should contain items such as house deeds and land deeds.
After Lin Qingshan took the box, he thought about it for a moment and did not speak first. Instead, he asked Lin Zhiqing what he meant:
"If Jingya's matter is urgent, you can make a decision first."
Look, look!
Compared with his eldest uncle and fourth uncle, Lin Qingshan is indeed very thoughtful in his work.
My eldest uncle and fourth uncle really didn’t inherit anything at all!
Everything has its priorities. At least for Lin Zhiqing, Lin Jingya's problem is bigger.
With Lin Qingshan's cooperation, she seemed to be one step closer to the truth of the incident when she was falsely accused of murdering her cousin.
It is also one step closer to the goal of collecting evidence against Jiang Liuyun.
