Chapter 15: Not having the conditions to commit a crime
"Qin Lang, stop slandering me. Do you think the Imperial City Guards are just for show?"
In the past few days, Lin Zhiyi has already learned about the general situation of this era through Chai Ya, Fang Mama and others.
After sunset, the city gates and the town gates of the imperial city would be closed.
After nightfall, people are prohibited from traveling at night without reason.
The Jinwu Guards will lead the imperial guards and street messengers to patrol, and violators will be punished.
"Besides, my dowry is so huge, how can I take it all away by myself? If I send a carriage to move it away, how can it be done without any noise?"
Lin Zhiyi knelt down and said, "I hope you can clear my name."
Lord Feng interrogated Lin Zhiyi again and let him go.
The reason was that Lin Zhiyi did not have any opportunity to take away the dowry.
He thought that the Qin family was stealing from the company and were crying wolf.
Although the Qin family was unwilling, they had no choice.
Qin Lang was not satisfied and taunted Lin Zhiyi, "I, Qin Lang, have abandoned you. I hope you will take care of yourself in the future!"
Lin Zhiyi snorted coldly: "Master Qin, you are working so hard, why don't you worry about yourself? After all, you have to keep your job, which was given to you by a woman."
As soon as Lin Zhiyi finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the yamen.
They all looked at Qin Lang with mockery on their faces.
Qin Lang was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
In the book, Qin Lang only has this one son born to the original owner.
However, after He Jiaojiao entered the house, she did not give birth to a child.
Lin Zhiyi suspected that Qin Lang was a useless person.
The original owner finally got pregnant after two years of marriage.
Otherwise, Old Lady Qin would not have loved the original owner's son so much.
Lin Zhiyi nodded to Chai Ya.
Chai Ya immediately understood and handed the wooden box in her hand to Qin Lang.
"Master Qin, this is a wedding gift from our girl to you and Miss He."
Qin Lang frowned slightly. Would Lin Zhiyi send him a gift?
He was immediately elated, thinking that Lin Zhiyi still loved him and must want to win him back.
"Lin, don't waste your time. I won't want you."
Lin Zhiyi said coldly: "Master Qin, you are overthinking it. Don't you want to open it and take a look?"
Qin Lang also glanced at Lin Zhiyi, with even more sarcasm on his face.
Still being stubborn!
He opened the box and saw the blood inside. He was so scared that he almost threw the box away.
"Master Qin, please take care of your son. Chai Ya, let's go!"
It was not until Lin Zhiyi walked out of the yamen that the Qin family members reacted.
Old Lady Qin stared at the bloody piece of meat in the wooden box, her eyes widening. "What? This is my grandson? Did Lin Zhiyi have a miscarriage?"
The women who came with Lin Zhiyi were curious about what gift Lin Zhiyi would give to Qin Lang since she was divorced, so they did not leave with Lin Zhiyi.
They are people who like to gossip and stir up trouble in the market.
What's more, they are fast and can catch up with Lin Zhiyi in a short time. If they can't catch up, it's okay, they can go to Fang Mama's house to collect the reward.
"Bah! Stop pretending! Wasn't it you who forced Miss Lin to have a miscarriage?"
"Yes, your family is so evil. If it weren't for the Lin family, how could your Qin family be where it is today?"
"You will be struck by lightning and your descendants will be extinct."
………
The women were at the gate of the yamen, saying harsh words to each other.
It was not until the police came out that the women dispersed and ran away.
Old Mrs. Qin was already sad that her dowry had not been found, and now she had lost her grandson. When these women said that she would have no descendants, she couldn't bear the blow and fainted again.
Lord Feng asked Qin Lang to take his men back first, and he would send people to investigate later to find out who had such great ability to steal such a large sum of money.
Since Lord Feng had spoken, Qin Lang did not dare to stay in the yamen and left with the Qin family.
As soon as the Qin family's servants left the yamen, they were caught by Chen Ji Yaxing.
They begged the Qin family to save them, but the Qin family remained unmoved because they had no money to redeem these people.
Seeing Lin Zhiyi about to board the carriage, the servants broke free from the people who were walking with them and shouted to her, "Madam, we know we are wrong. Please forgive us this time."
"Yes, Madam, we truly know we were wrong. We shouldn't have recognized these ruthless people as our masters."
…
Suddenly, there were sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling outside the yamen.
Lin Zhiyi got into the carriage as if she didn't hear it.
Everyone is responsible for his own actions!
Seeing the carriage going further and further away, they regretted it!
Looking at the Qin family again, hatred flashed in their eyes.
The Qin family pretended not to see anything. When they returned to the Qin residence, they found that not only was the house locked, but the few remaining items in the house had also been thrown out.
The most conspicuous of these are the dowry boxes, which can be sold for some money.
As for the two carriages that were forgotten at the Qin family, Dalin had already driven them away when the Qin family went to the yamen.
At this time, many passers-by came to the outside of the house and pointed and talked.
Qin Dalang wanted to drive the man away, but ended up getting beaten up by a passerby.
Although they did not have a good impression of Lin Zhiyi, Lin Fu had done a lot of practical things for the people. Naturally, they could not stand the Qin family, who were ungrateful.
They will certainly not indulge the Qin family.
Qin Lang held an official position, so they could not take action against him, but when facing Qin Dalang, they showed no mercy.
These people were led by the Fang Mama faction, and they stirred up public opinion with one sentence after another.
Old Mrs. Qin had woken up at this time. As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard everyone talking at once, attacking the Qin family with the most vicious language, and the eldest brother was beaten. She rolled her eyes and fainted again.
Qin Lang was a scholar after all, and he also had to maintain some dignity. He seemed to have seen his colleagues in the crowd. He quickly covered his face and said to the Qin family, "Let's leave here first."
At this time, Lin Zhiyi was in the carriage, rushing towards the city gate.
At the Ten-Li Pavilion outside the city gate, all the exiled prisoners are waiting here, waiting for their relatives to see them off for the last time.
The Lin family members were also waiting here.
Mrs. Song, Lin's mother, looked at the scattered relatives from other families who came to see them off, wiping her tears and looking into the distance.
The Lin family naturally knew who Song Ruolan was waiting for.
Mrs. Song's eyes were swollen from crying in prison these days.
She couldn't understand how the daughter she raised, who would hug her and act like a spoiled child after not seeing her for a few days, could be so cruel as to force the master to write a letter of severance of engagement.
Lin Zhiyi's elder brother, Lin Xiuran, the eldest son of the Lin family's first wife, felt very distressed when he saw his mother's appearance.
My mother has looked much more haggard these days.
What saddened her most was not that the Lin family was convicted and exiled, but that her younger sister wrote a letter of severance of the relationship.
She hadn't been able to eat or sleep well these past few days, worried that her sister had been bullied by the Qin family and was forced to break off relations with the Lin family.
Seeing that she was about to collapse due to exhaustion, Lin Xiuran hurried forward to support her and advised, "Mom, my little sister was just confused for a moment and made a clear break with the Lin family. I believe she will figure it out one day."
Mother Lin nodded with red eyes.
At this moment, a sneer came from not far away. "Ha~ Is she confused for a moment? I think she is determined to draw a clear line with the Lin family."
