Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 332: Knowing the husband’s intentions
Yangzhou City,
Zhang Jinyu led the people out of the government office quickly, then jumped on his horse and went straight to Lin's Mansion, riding non-stop along the way.

Arriving at Yanzheng Yamen,

"call"

I reined in my horse and looked at the main entrance of the Yamen. It used to be festive red, but now it has been replaced by white cloth, white flowers, and soul-calling flags.

The guards were all dressed in white brocade cloth and wrapped with hemp ropes. Zhang Jinyu also felt sad in his heart. Although he had only met Lin Ruhai and his wife for less than half a day, it was really sad that such a caring couple both passed away.

After getting off the horse, he led people into the backyard. The yard had long been cleared up, and the mourning hall in the main hall was also well decorated. There was a large coffin in the middle, and in front were a memorial tablet, an incense table, candles, three animals, and offerings.
outside the hospital,

Naturally, Wang Yinghan was being escorted by soldiers and kneeling there, and a group of guards looked at the direct descendants of the Wang family kneeling behind, crying and crying, which was very sad.

When Ning Bian saw Mr. Hou coming, he ran over.

"Master Hou, all the children of the Wang family have been arrested."

"Very good, how are you, Miss Lin?"

Zhang Jinyu nodded, still worried about Lin Daiyu's situation, and asked.

"Back to the Marquis, Gu Yunshi checked Madam's pulse and prescribed a prescription. Now Madam has taken the medicine but refuses to rest. She is crying bitterly in the mourning hall. Eunuch Zhao is comforting her inside."

"Okay, you stay here and watch those people, I will go in and take a look."

Zhang Jinyu couldn't bear it anymore, and ran into the house in a hurry after explaining. As soon as she entered the door, she heard Lin Daiyu crying bitterly in front of the coffin, and seeing Lin Daiyu's sad figure, she couldn't speak words of comfort.

"Master Hou, you are here, Miss Lin"

Eunuch Zhao also cried anxiously. There was no good time for the Za family today. Zhang Jinyu put her finger on the corner of her mouth and made a weak sound, signaling Eunuch Zhao not to speak.

Slowly walked behind Daiyu, took a stack of fire paper and burned it in the brazier, and also put the paper money in it.

Daiyu felt that someone was coming next to her. She turned around and saw that it was Zhang Jinyu. The weak figure could not hold on and fell over. Zhang Jinyu quickly hugged Lin Daiyu and comforted her;

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law left with a smile on their face. You can't let them worry. My father-in-law dedicated himself to the salt administration of the court and worked hard to die. He got what he wanted. My mother-in-law also silently supported me and never left at the last moment. You should understand that they both People's feelings, sometimes it's just right to let them go together, what do you think, Yu'er."

Lin Daiyu's beautiful appearance raised her head and looked over. She suddenly closed her eyes and smiled, and her eyes became a little sad. From the time she could remember, her father was always busy. After every promotion, she and her mother were waiting or enduring the separation. The pain was that I could only have a reunion dinner every year during the Chinese New Year. I finally came to Yangzhou and lived a stable life for a few years. These few years were my happiest days.

However, the good times did not last long, her mother fell ill again, and now her parents died of poisoning. Daiyu sometimes felt a little confused, why was her father an official?
Now that his family is ruined, does he regret it?
Does mother regret it too? I myself regret it very much. Looking at the strange husband in front of me, I asked;

"Lang Jun, why did you work so hard to become an official? Now that it's like this, do you regret it?"

Zhang Jinyu hugged Daiyu distressedly, took the water bag and handed it over.

"Drink a little, and I'll tell you how you like it after you drink it."

Daiyu nodded, took a few sips of water from the water bag, moistened her dry lips and tongue, and said in a hoarse voice,

"Mr. Lang, tell me."

Zhang Jinyu was not in a hurry to speak. He burned the paper money in front of him first, then continued to bring the burning paper over, slowly added more money inside, then pointed to the brazier and said,

"Look at this fire, it's getting stronger and stronger. My father-in-law is a man of great talent. As the saying goes, those who are capable work hard. That's why my father-in-law takes on important responsibilities and comes to Yangzhou to preside over the overall situation. To put it more seriously, it is for the sake of the people of the world. The imperial court, to say the least, is for you mother and daughter."

Daiyu didn't understand why she and her mother often stayed alone in the empty room for us. Every time during the holidays, her mother cooked a table of dishes and ended up eating them together with her. Her father almost never came back.

"I'm afraid Mr. Lang is wrong. I believe it's for the imperial court. How can I say it's for my mother and me? In fact, it might be better not to be an official. It would be nice to not have those worries."

"Maybe, but let me ask, Yu'er, if your father-in-law didn't get admitted to the top three universities, would it be possible for the Jia family in the capital, that is, the mother-in-law's natal family, to marry her mother-in-law to her father-in-law? I'm afraid not, today. No one in the world can escape from prejudice, it is nothing more than fame and wealth, so the moment they become officials is the time when the two of them are destined to be together, Yu'er, what do you think?"

Zhang Jinyu knelt beside Lin Daiyu and explained, helping to burn the fire paper by the way.

Lin Daiyu wanted to open her mouth to quibble several times, but she couldn't. If her father was really from a poor family, he would probably miss the opportunity. Looking at the coffin in front of her, she asked sadly and indignantly;
"Then I'm afraid my father didn't expect this outcome."

"Yes, no one thought that those gangsters would dare to kill. So, do you think ordinary people would dare to deal with those wealthy families? No, the reason is that the masters behind them cannot afford to offend. However, I, Zhang Jinyu, dare , I slaughtered the family of the person who poisoned me, and all the direct descendants of the Wang family are kneeling outside the mourning hall, waiting to be punished. How can you take revenge if you are powerless?"

Zhang Jinyu didn't want to say anything at first, but seeing Lin Daiyu's lifeless look, she needed to add strong medicine to wake her up, so she continued;

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law were poisoned. As children, do we want to avenge them? This is a mortal hatred that cannot be forgotten at any time, what do you think?"

Lin Daiyu's hand holding the burning paper was clenched tightly, the veins were exposed, and her eyes, which were still a little gray, suddenly brightened,
"Your Majesty is right, this hatred is irreconcilable, but what can I do as a woman, how can I take revenge if I have no strength to restrain a chicken."

Zhang Jinyu took out the sword from her waist, a cold light flashed, and a cold aura emitted, which was extremely evil.

Then he put it on his chest, took the brocade cloth and wiped it carefully, put it beside the brazier, and said, "This knife is my personal belongings. It is a rare treasure knife outside the pass. It is three feet long, and the cup can hold three liters. The knife Cutting jade is like cutting clay, it is a sharp weapon for killing people. Today, I will use it to let the whole Wang family be buried with the two elders to comfort their souls in heaven."

finished,

Zhang Jinyu kowtowed three times in front of the coffin, then picked up the knife and was about to walk out of the main room. Lin Daiyu was shocked and stood up after her. She saw the Wang family's children kneeling outside and crying bitterly. Her eyes were full of grief and anger, but also a look of pity. I can't bear it.

"Mr. Lang, do you really want to kill them? Can those children do it?"

"Yu'er, wildfires can't be burned out, but spring breezes blow and they will grow again. To cut the weeds, we need to root them out."

Zhang Jinyu didn't let Lin Daiyu finish her sentence, and it was even more impossible to let the Wang family go alone. Now the only option is to kill her.

He walked outside and came to Wang Yinghan. Looking at the old man who had lost all energy in front of him, he asked;

"Do you still have any last words?"

Wang Yinghan raised his head and asked a young man holding a knife, who must be Marquis Luo Yun, and smiled miserably.
"Master Marquis, this is the first time we have met, and it looks like this. Master Marquis, do you think you have won?"

Zhang Jinyu tapped the bottom with a knife and looked at the head of the Wang family who was kneeling on the ground.

"I don't know if you win or not, but if you get rid of the Wang family, your master will lose an arm. I have already made arrangements over there in Suzhou to chop off his hand. I have already dealt with it. I have already dealt with it." I don’t want to confront him. After I came to Jiangnan and settled Master Lin, I went back. But someone wants to take action. Who do you think gave the order? Is it really Prince Mu? I’m afraid Dong Wang may have been kept in the dark. Here."

Wang Yinghan's face that was still smiling suddenly froze. Now, thinking about it, it seems that it really happened. Who could it be, or has it happened without the prince knowing, I'm afraid.
Before he finished thinking, he felt his head fly up, saw his own body, and then fell into darkness.

Zhang Jinyu raised the knife and cut off Wang Yinghan's head.

"what!"

"Master, master!"

"You are the devil!"

Seeing that everyone in the Wang family was excited and cursing, Zhang Jinyu wiped the blood on his face and said coldly;
"Come here, pull them down and kill them all, leaving no one behind."

Then the surrounding border soldiers rushed over like wolves and tigers, dragging all the children of the Wang family down. When they reached the front yard, they heard screams one after another. After a while, their men came to report back. ;

"Master Marquis, kill all seven of the 210 direct descendants of the Wang family."

"Okay, hang all those rebels on the gate of Yangzhou City to warn the world."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

After Zhang Jinyu watched his men leave, he picked up Wang Yinghan's head from the ground, walked back to the mourning hall, placed the head in front of the coffin, then knelt down and said;
"The second elder, the son-in-law Zhang Jinyu avenged the second elder, and all the Wang family members were killed."

After saying that, she kowtowed three more times. Lin Daiyu was a little scared on the side, closed her eyes and endured it, and asked with a trembling voice;

"If you have to kill them all like this, aren't you afraid that the ghosts of those people will come back to find you?"

Zhang Jinyu laughed, and said to the guard beside him;

"Take this man's head and hang it on the front door."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

The personal guards behind him took away Wang Yinghan's head. Only then did Lin Daiyu dare to open her closed eyes and look over.

Zhang Jinyu wiped the blood with a cloth, then took out the sword and wiped it carefully.

"Yu'er, I don't want to hurt the killer, but the court's law is here. Killing the court officials is like conspiracy, and the whole family needs to be killed. Besides, I don't want to leave a curse. Now you have to take care of your health and send the second elder back to your hometown It’s best to be buried, do you understand?”

"Yu'er understands that Mr. Lang should also take care of himself."

As if she had figured it out and felt relieved, Lin Daiyu reached out and touched the coffin. With a cold voice that made people feel uncomfortable, Zhang Jinyu put the knife back into its sheath.

"Yu'er, sometimes people live not only for themselves but also for others. When the two elders left, they were most worried about you and missed you the most. Since I, Zhang Jinyu, have married you, I will definitely treat you well in this life. , never break your promise.”

Lin Daiyu didn't make a sound, stroking quietly in front of the coffin, then withdrew her hand and turned her head, with an inexplicable look in her bright eyes.

"Although Daiyu is a girl, she is also literate. If you treat me sincerely, Daiyu will treat me sincerely. Daiyu understands what Langjun said. After her parents are buried in peace, she will return to Beijing with Langjun."

Zhang Jinyu stopped talking, stepped forward and hugged Lin Daiyu's thin body tightly, as if a gust of wind would blow her away.
"Great!"
