After being killed by the villain husband

Chapter 147 Heading to Nanling

"Are you really so concerned about Nanling's affairs?" Shang Shixu picked up a piece of jewelry, opened the box and looked at Lin Jingmo, saying: "Nowadays, you can't protect yourself, are you still thinking about ordinary people as before? "

Lin Jingmo watched him take out a gold hairpin from the box, and couldn't help but frown, and replied: "It's not that I care about others, but that I don't want you to continue to do evil!"

"Oh?" Shang Shixu returned to his usual secrecy, stretched out his hand and slowly stabbed the gold hairpin in the direction of Lin Jingmo.

Lin Jingmo did not dare to look directly, but judged from the corner of her eye that the golden hairpin was getting closer and closer to her. At the moment when the golden hairpin was about to pierce her eyebrows, Lin Jingmo trembled and quickly closed her eyes... …

Shang Shixu held the gold hairpin in his hand and pierced it into Lin Jingmo's bun.

Lin Jingmo closed his eyes for a while, until the carriage stopped, and Shang Shixu got off the carriage without saying hello.

Lin Jingmo slowly opened his eyes, and almost at the same time, crystal tears burst into his eyes.

She opened the curtain on the carriage and watched Shang Shixu walk away angrily. Lin Jingmo got out of the carriage without hesitation. Seeing that the carriage driver followed Shang Shixu and left with him, Lin Jingmo thought for a moment and turned around to sit on the carriage. The carriage fled in the opposite direction.

She didn't know that Shang Shixu let her go on purpose. The moment he gave her the gold hairpin, Shang Shixu already understood that the rift between the two of them had long been irreparable. She was afraid, and she was trapped in the past. , cannot be resolved.

Lin Jingmo drove the carriage wildly all the way, and she finally left the palace. She couldn't help but laugh, thinking about leaving Chenzhou and returning to the capital. There were also jewelry left by Shang Shixu in the car, which was enough for her expenses.

Thinking of the jewelry in the car, the smile on Lin Jingmo's face gradually disappeared. She reached out and touched the hairpin on her head, and took off the gold hairpin. Ironically, it was a phoenix hairpin...

Lin Jingmo did not hesitate, put the hairpin into his belt, and then continued driving to leave Chenzhou.

Lin Jingmo had just driven out of the city when he saw a notice posted outside the city gate, saying that there was a banditry in Nanling. The army sent by the court to Nanling would pass by Chenzhou soon. If the people of Chenzhou were fine, try not to affect the army. Nothing happened. Don't go to Nanling either to avoid the impact of punishment.

Lin Jingmo looked at the notice and couldn't help but wonder, how could there be banditry in Nanling?Obviously, when dad was still alive, he had already decided to allocate food and finances to Nanling for disaster relief!

At this moment, the passers-by who were watching the notice with her started talking about it.

"There's banditry in Nanling? This is really big! Old man Wang, don't you often go to Nanling to sell things? Now there's banditry and you can't go, right?"

"Where are the thieves and bandits? They are just ordinary people."

"People? Do the people need to be suppressed by the army?"

"I heard that the people in Nanling were dissatisfied with the court's disaster relief policy, so they started the uprising. The purpose was to hope that the court would be considerate of the people's sentiments." "It's a pity that not only did they not get sympathy, but they may have lost their lives."

Only then did Lin Jingmo realize that the people in Nanling had not received the food and silver for disaster relief, so they started revolting against the imperial court!There could have been a good resettlement, but because the official minister was dead, everything changed.

Lin Jingmo returned to the carriage with worries. He could walk eastward for a few days to reach the capital. Once there, he could tell Chen Mianzheng the real cause of his daughter's death and sow discord between Chen Mianzheng and Qi Xuanyi.

And if she walked west for a few more days, she could reach Nanling. If the army really came to suppress it, many innocent people would probably die. Only by telling them the seriousness of the situation in advance could the killing be stopped.

Lin Jingmo drove the carriage, not knowing where he should go.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Lin Yuanzhi said to her. As a human being, you should not put the gains and losses of your family first, but you should consider the people of the world.

Thinking of this, Lin Jingmo changed direction and headed west towards Nanling.

Along the way, Lin Jingmo saw large tracts of wasteland. Groups of victims were supporting each other as they headed north. They planned to leave the land where they had been living because the imperial government's taxes had crushed them.They have no choice but to leave their homes.

Although Lin Jingmo had compassion for them, she also understood that if she wanted to change, just one Lin Jingmo was not enough.

A skinny child ran out on the road. He suddenly appeared with a broken bowl. He saw Lin Jingmo sitting in a tall carriage, so he knelt under the wheel and cried: "This kind sister, please help me, I have been here for many days." No more food.”

When Lin Jingmo saw the child who was almost hit, he quickly stopped the carriage, took out the gold hairpin from the belt around his waist, handed it to the child, and asked: "Child, what happened here? "

The child took the hairpin and his eyes widened in surprise, and just as he was about to hide it, a group of people dressed like beggars ran out and started to fight with him. Lin Jingmo saw this and tried to persuade them to stop, but he almost got involved in them. in the struggle.

Lin Jingmo realized that what she had just done was completely wrong, and hurriedly jumped on the carriage and entered the city. She took two gold bracelets and ran to the grain store to buy some grain for the hungry people, but she ran to several shops. They were all found with their doors closed.

Lin Jingmo did not admit his guilt and continued to look for the grain store with the sign until he knocked on the fifth store and was told by the boss that there was no rice. Lin Jingmo asked: "This store, I have money, I have run away." I visited several stores, but I really can’t understand where can I find food in this huge Nanling City?”

The man replied: "Girl, do you want food? Go to the government's granary. I'm afraid that's the only place in Nanling that still has food!"

After saying that, the store owner was about to close the door. Lin Jingmo blocked the door with his hand and continued to ask, "What do you mean by the store owner? If the imperial court has food, why don't they open the warehouses to stock the food, but let the people starve to cause such chaos?"

"Chaos?" The owner of the grain shop sneered at this statement and said: "Those grains were all prepared by the army. The court has increased taxes for three consecutive years. In years with good harvests, the people can still live in hardship. Last year, The weather was unfavorable, and the spring rains continued for more than several months, resulting in the failure of the winter wheat harvest. Later, the locust plague caused no harvest. Finally, Mr. Lin was able to uphold justice for us. Unfortunately, he died innocently, and there was no food shipped in the end. After the epidemic, the people were miserable, so they went to the grain depot to grab food, but were caught as thieves. Now they hear that the army is approaching the border, and soon it will be difficult for ordinary people like us to stay alive, let alone fill our stomachs!"
