Chapter 260: Keepsake! Wangshujian!
And now many years have passed.
The reason why the Jiang family attacked the Lin family was probably because they had confirmed through various channels that the Lin family was unaware of the evidence.
So, they gradually began to show their true colors.
From the perspective of the Zhenyuan Marquisate, without any worries, the Lin family would naturally die.
At this moment, the truth was completely laid out before Lin Zhiqing.
She took a deep breath, and then said solemnly: "Uncle Zheng, don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and return it to you, those soldiers who died for no reason, and my father!"
How ridiculous!
The soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Great Sheng did not die in battles with the enemy, but died in their own people's conspiracy for power and profit.
When Zheng Kuo heard this, many faces seemed to flash before his eyes. His shoulders kept shaking and tears streamed down his face.
Lin Zhiqing felt very uncomfortable. Zheng Kuo was only in his forties, but now he looked like an elderly man who was about to die.
Everyone turned their eyes away from him, unable to bear to look at him any longer.
Zheng Kuo seemed to remember something and spoke to Lin Zhiqing again:
"Miss, is the Wangshu Mirror still there?"
"Here!" Lin Zhiqing knew that Zheng Kuo might have something to say, so he quickly took out the Wangshu Mirror he carried with him.
Zheng Kuo took the Wangshu Mirror with trembling hands.
When Yan Yu saw the small bronze mirror, his eyes fell on Lin Zhiqing's face.
Lin Zhiqing noticed his gaze, but did not speak.
Zheng Kuo looked at Yan Wu and said, "Now that this thing is out, you can go."
"Him? What's the relationship between Wangshu Jian and him?" Lin Yangyang asked.
This time, without waiting for Zheng Kuo to explain, Yan Yu said calmly: "Uncle is my savior."
He said only this and no more.
Zheng Kuo gently stroked the Wangshu Mirror and then returned it to Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing took the Wangshujian and put it away again.
Even though Yan Yu didn't elaborate, she guessed that the Wangshu Mirror must be some kind of token of trust.
The lights in the dark room were dim, and Zheng Kuo's breathing was very clear.
After he said those words, he seemed to have let go of all his strength and slowly lay back on the bed.
Lin Zhiqing noticed that his eyes were fixed on the ceiling of the dim and dark room, as if he was looking at someone through the roof.
Her heart skipped a beat and she took a step forward: "Uncle Zheng..."
Zheng Kuo seemed not to hear the sound and did not react at all.
Lin Yangyang was a little anxious and turned away: "I'll go find a doctor to take a look."
Yan Wu grabbed her arm and shook his head.
Lin Yangyang frowned and was about to ask questions when she saw Lin Zhiqing also stood up and shook his head at her.
Following the actions of the two, Zheng Kuo's hands began to grab randomly in the air:
"Master, Master, I have fulfilled my mission. I have finally waited..."
"Haha, hahaha~"
His laughter grew fainter and his breathing became fainter.
In an instant, the dark room fell silent again.
Lin Yangyang took a step forward anxiously and checked it carefully, the expression on her face was full of unconcealable sadness.
Lin Zhiqing turned his head away slightly, unable to bear to look any further.
It is very likely that Zheng Kuo just had a last burst of energy.
He is not in good health and looks like an octogenarian.
In the first half of his life, he was a free and unrestrained man galloping across the battlefield, but in the second half of his life, he was trapped in a dark room, never seeing the light of day.
He was burdened with the flash of swords and the huge secret, and he could never let go of the resentment in his heart.
The reason why he has been holding on until now is simply waiting for Lin Congrong's treason to be exposed to the light of day and for his injustice to be cleared.
The rest of his life was truly miserable.
"You don't have to be sad. The current ending may not be a relief for him." Yan Yu's voice was nonchalant.
But Lin Zhiqing caught a glimpse of sadness from the corners of his drooping eyes.
But he was absolutely right.
For Zheng Kuo, death is a relief.
He finally left this dark room and ran towards freedom.
Yan Yu glanced at Zheng Kuo, then quickly looked away and walked out with Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang.
Along the way, the three of them were unusually silent.
After returning to the gorgeously decorated room, Yan Yu opened the wardrobe and began to pack up the red, green and colorful clothes.
He seemed to be going with Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Yangyang also noticed it: "Hey, aren't you the top girl in Wanliu Pavilion? It must be very expensive to redeem you, right?"
Yan Wu crossed his arms in front of his chest, and the urge to punch him came back into his voice:
"Why do you want to redeem me? I tell you, I sell my art but not my body."
"Tsk!" Lin Yangyang also rolled her eyes: "I have never seen such a shameless person."
Lin Zhiqing said, "Is Wanliu Pavilion your property?"
Yan Wu paused, neither admitting nor denying: "When will you return to Shengjing?"
Although he did not give a direct answer, Lin Zhiqing was already certain in his heart that Wanliu Pavilion should be his.
Being able to set up such a secret room under Wanliu Pavilion and leave at will, I am afraid that even the madam does not have such power.
If he is not the owner of Wanliu Pavilion, who is?
Lin Zhiqing touched the Wangshu Mirror on his body and said, "Half an hour later."
Yan Wu waved his hand: "The old man's body needs to be dealt with. It's not convenient for you to come forward, so I'll do it. Half an hour is too short, it's definitely too late..."
"It's not too late." Lin Zhiqing looked at him seriously: "If you want to stay in Yongqing, then it's not too late."
Yan Wu frowned: "Yongqing is no longer useful here. There is no point in you asking me to stay here."
"I'm not asking you to stay here. It's up to you whether you want to stay here or not." Lin Zhiqing knocked on the Wangshujian:
"If you assume you have to follow me just because of this thing, then you're wrong."
"I don't know what happened between you and my father, but I believe that the reason he crossed paths with you in the first place was not to repay a favor."
"You helped Uncle Zheng, which is a great help to our Lin family."
"Even though you were packing your luggage right after you came out, you couldn't hide the sadness in your eyes."
Lin Zhiqing made everything clear at once.
Yan Wu was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth:
"Although I really want to say, 'My Lord, you saved me, and I will definitely serve you wholeheartedly,' something that sounds very righteous, but I'm sorry, I really can't say it."
"You are very smart. I don't want to leave Yongqing."
"Since you've given me the opportunity to choose, I hope you won't regret it."
"Of course not, I never lie." Lin Zhiqing smiled.
"However, if I or the Lin family need your help in the future..."
"I'll think about it!" Yan Yu put the bright red and green clothes he had packed back into the closet with a relaxed look on his face.
Such a frank person would simply refuse if he didn't want to help.
Lin Zhiqing understood his sharp tongue but soft heart and smiled gently.
"Wait." Lin Yangyang said, "Since you have four thousand taels of silver, I guess you don't have to pay, right?"
The corner of Yan Wu's mouth twitched: "Is the Lin family really that poor?"
"Um."
Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang nodded at the same time.
poverty!
Very poor!
