Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 143: The death of Lin Tingxun (3)

The current situation is turbulent, people's lives are as cheap as ants, and those with a little power will form a stronghold to protect themselves.

Although the number of people is small, it is difficult to establish a foothold in the sea area outside the Yangtze River where pirates frequently come and go, but Changshan Island does not rely on looting for a living, so the living space is quite limited.

In this era of turbulent times, successive years of famine, and countless people being forced to take risks and rise up, Liu An'er gathered a mob of 35,000 people in Hongzepu in three to five days. Qin Chengzu and the others have also established a foothold on Changshan Island for more than half a year. The force is less than 300 people.

Changshan Island is fundamentally different from ordinary pirate forces. To be precise, it belongs to the category of Shuizhai forces for self-protection. Therefore, it is also responsible for solving the survival problem of more than 1,000 people behind 300 elites.

After listening to Cao Zi'ang's introduction to the situation on Changshan Island, Lin Meng let out a sigh of relief and sighed: "It's not easy! I thought my eyes were sharp, but I really didn't see that you had such luck for months in a row. A lot of supplies go to Changshan Island..."

"It's not easy, and the pressure is great..." Lin Bie smiled.

"The seventh lady knows about this?" Lin Mengde asked.

"I only told Sister Yingxiu when I went back to Linli this time," Lin Fu said, also emphasizing the relationship between him and Gu Yingxiu, "Besides, Zhao Hu and Jingzhong know the details, this time I will drag Uncle Mengde to you. After getting on the pirate ship, Uncle Mengde will bear all of this together from now on."

Lin Meng had to travel far and wide, was well-informed, and had a clear understanding of the current situation.

After all, Lin Fu and the others were not rebelling, but in the final analysis they formed a village to protect themselves so that they could survive in troubled times.

There are many powerful clans in the world who secretly gather private soldiers, and there are not many Lin Bie people.

Shanglinli Township has more than 700 people in the township, and the second son Lin Xuzong even dared to secretly take in the giant horse thieves who escaped to Dongyang, so it is very cheap.

It's a pity that the second son, Lin Xuzong, is far from Lin Bie's means and courage, and when it comes to the end, he is actually a traitorous slave Zhao Neng who draws this horse thief private soldier and devours the master.

Lin Mengde knew that the path that Lin Fu took at this time looked dangerous, but there was a hidden mystery of both advance and retreat: if you advance, you will be a hero, and you will choose the opportunity to watch the chaos in the world; if you retreat as a good minister, the forces of Changshan Island can make contributions to Lin Fu. by virtue of.

What does this pirate ship dare not board?

Lin Mengde smiled and said to Lin Bie, "I'm afraid that my ability is limited and will drag you down in the future."

"I dream of many things, so that my uncle can let me go and help me. How can I not believe in your ability?" Lin Bie smiled and said, "Let's go back to the river mouth first. If there is anything, we can discuss it on the boat..."

Lin Fula and Cao Zi'ang returned to the Hekou with them. Cao Zi'ang was good at strategy, and Lin Tingxun wanted to ask him for advice on the matter of Lin Tingxun's last words.

"I also don't think it's necessary to stand up and openly fight for the right of the Lin family at this time," Cao Zi'ang said while sitting on the bow, frowning and thinking, "Lin Tingxun is considered to have died in a foreign land, and Shanglin has fallen to the enemy again, so Lin Tingxun's body will be temporarily parked. In Jiangning - in this case, the eldest son Lin Xuwen can tell 'Ding You' to come to Jiangning to observe filial piety, or Lin Tingxun can return to his ancestral grave after the situation in Hongzepu is stabilized, and then tell 'Ding You' to return to his hometown and keep filial piety..."

"Yes, the key is here," Lin Fu said, "I'm worried that the last words Lin Tingxun said before his death were actually a game set up by this old fox!"

Lin Mengde saw the layout of Changshan Island, and naturally his vision was no longer limited to the Lin clan.

Lin Mengde knew that the eldest son was obsessed with his career and didn't care about clan power.

For those with a little ambition, the fight for the Lin family's power is still limited to the small place in Shanglinli, and the pattern is too small. The eldest son is only thirty-six years old, and he has been the chief of the fifth-grade engineering department for five years. It is when he is young and ambitious, and it is normal for him to dislike the power of the Lin family. Otherwise, when Lin Tingxun is seriously ill and bedridden, the eldest son will You can return home in advance to respect and filial piety.

Lin Meng thought about it carefully, and suspected that the last words that Lin Tingxun said on his deathbed might really be a set for Lin Bie.

This dynasty established the country with filial piety as the first priority, and the system of 'Ding You' cannot be violated; the eldest son is the highest-ranking minister of the Ministry of Industry. It is impossible for the court to make a special order to keep him in Beijing, but the eldest son can be dragged to Lin Tingxun's body for burial Shanglinli and then return to the hometown to observe filial piety.

At this time, who knows when the chaos in Hongzepu will be completely subsided?

Over the years, the eldest son has also been suppressed by the Western Qin Party. Now that the Chu Party has gained power, the officials who were suppressed by the Western Qin Party in the past may have the opportunity to be promoted by the Chu Party. At this juncture, if you leave Yanjing and return home to keep filial piety, if you can stay in Yanjing for an extra moment, you will have one more chance.

The eldest son doesn't fight for clan power, just because he doesn't fight with his brother, does not mean that he will watch the Lin family power fall into the hands of the side children.

At this time, everyone made concerted efforts to support the younger son Lin Xuxi to preside over the family business. Most of the eldest son will delay until he has to return to his hometown to keep his filial piety and then leave Yanjing. Produce.

But at this time, according to Lin Tingxun's last words, the Jiyun Club was returned to the Lin family, which formed a trend of the strong and the weak, and the Lin family lived in Jiangning again. The right and family property do not fall into the hands of Lin Fu, a side child.

In addition, the second master Lin Tingli's reaction was also critical. The eldest son came to Jiangning to observe filial piety. As long as Lin Tingli asked Lin Zonghai to come back, it would be enough to make Lin Fu fall into a passive state. Lin Zonghai's wife is the eldest son's aunt and cousin. After Lin Zonghai's ambition is shattered, he will most likely jump to the eldest son's side.

Jiyun Club really wanted to follow Lin Tingxun's last words and choose to return to the Lin family at this time. It is very likely that Lin Fu would not only lose the power of the Lin family, but also made a wedding dress for the Lin family to establish a foothold in Jiangning.

"Lin Tingxun is an old fox, or he underestimates you..." Cao Ziang said with a smile, "If you don't fall into his trap, others can't be resurrected from death, what can I do for you?"

"I can't blame him," Lin Fu sighed slightly and said, "If there is no Changshan Island, even if I know that the situation he set up is dangerous, and if Uncle Mengde and Sister Yingxiu help me, I might still jump in and fight. fight."

Lin Mengde has followed Lin Tingxun for the longest time, and is most aware of Lin Tingxun's ability. Although the Lin family is a noble family, Lin Tingxun's real rise in Dongyang was achieved by Lin Tingxun. It's just that Lin Bie couldn't jump in.

Lin Mengde asked, "We don't fight in the open, but we have to fight in the secret. What should we do next?"

"The Lin family still owns nearly 200,000 taels of silver after they escaped from Shanglin. There are countless fertile fields and real estate in Shanglin, and they also have a lot of business in Jiangning. In the eyes of others, if I fight for clan rights, I will fight for these things," Lin Fu said. He said, "We don't dispute these things, how can they guard against me? We have a hundred thousand taels of silver in our hands now, and we won't be able to use them up for a while, so it doesn't make sense to ask for more. Only the money we spend is silver, Chaos is coming, even if you sit on the gold and silver mountains, what good is it? Shanglinli is lost to the enemy, and tens of thousands of acres of land and real estate are dead. Those land deeds and land deeds are just a pile of waste paper. It can't be calmed down, and the future development of the situation is more difficult to predict. What is the use of fighting for those waste paper? The Lin family's industry in Jiangning is mainly to resell the properties of Shiliang County. What is the benefit of the industry in Jiangning? In the end, we have to worry about the livelihood of many people - while others are staring at the gold and silver treasures of the Lin family, the land deeds and land deeds of the Lin family, and the industry in Jiangning, we secretly have to fight It's people..."

"Competing?" Lin Mengde asked suspiciously, "Who else do you want to win over?"

"It's not someone else, I want to hold the more than 200 villagers stranded at the mouth of the river in my hands," Lin Fu said, "These two hundred villagers are considered guest troops in Jiangning. I want to hold these two hundred rural braves in my hands, and then make good use of these two hundred people."

"How to make good use of it?" Lin Mengde asked when he saw the embankment pier right in front of him. Lin Bing's plot was very deep.

"Uncle Mengde, you have been in charge of the Lin family in Jiangning for many years, but now the Lin family has all fled to Jiangning to seek refuge, especially several shopkeepers of Linji's warehouse in Shanglin have fled to Jiangning together. Most of them want to control it themselves. For the Lin family's property in Jiangning, you can hand over these affairs to them, so that the hearts of the eldest son and Lin Tingli can be reassured." Lin Fu said, "This time, there are more than a thousand people who have fled to Jiangning with us, among them Many of them are young children of Xiangyong, and Uncle Mengde, you come and settle them yourself. These things are very tedious, but if you want to enslave others, you must first reassure yourself~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to gain strength..."

"Okay, I'll do this." Lin Mengde agreed.

Lin Mengde also knew that everyone was able to escape safely from Shanglin this time, not because the Lin family was rich and powerful, but because Lin Fu personally led the armored military guards and the Queen of Xiangyong Hall to intimidate the ships from Hongzepu Water Village. In troubled times, there is nothing more secure than holding weapons in your own hands.

"Jiyun Club still has two large ships that will be built in a while, and I will select the elites to arrange these two ships," Lin Bie said, "This is the foundation of our lives that we all depend on at any time. , other things are easy to say."

At this time, the boat had already docked at the pier on the river bank. There were many people on the pier, and it was inconvenient to say anything. Cao Zi'ang went ashore to deal with other matters. Lin Fu and Lin Meng had to go back to the cottage to see the five ladies and the three clan elders. There is Lin Xuhong, the young nephew who is closest to Lin Tingxun.

Except for Gu Yingxiu, everyone else knows that they are under the shelter of others at this time, and they are really afraid that Lin Fu will take advantage of Jiyun Club to return to the forest family to control the family power and compete for the family property, but Lin Tingxun's last words, Lin Mengde and the seventh lady are both present. I heard that it is impossible for them to choose to leave Jiangning and go elsewhere at this time. He even suspected that Lin Mengde and Lin Jingzhong had hidden evil intentions by temporarily placing everyone in the estuary.

Lin Fu and Lin Mengde left for a long time to let them discuss Lin Tingxun's funeral. They were confused in the front hall of the cottage, worrying about this and that. When they were small for a long time, they had no idea at all. At this time, seeing Lin Fu and Lin Meng go back and forth, their hearts hang in their throats and eyes again.

The most uneasy is the sixth lady, Shan Rou. Although the old man's last words will eventually bring Xu Xi to the top, but no one in Jiangning can control Lin Bie, her orphan and widow mother fall into Lin Bie's hands, and she still doesn't know what will happen. .
