After being killed by the villain husband

Chapter 24
These two words were written by him himself, how could he not recognize them?
This account book records all the money transactions between him and Zhao Wang in recent years, which is enough to destroy his nine clans. It was precisely because of this account that he had a killer and almost stabbed Lin Jingmo to death!
For such a long time, he has searched in the main courtyard many times but failed to find him. It turned out that Lin Jingmo had hidden him in the interlayer of the book case.

Lin Jingmo realized that something had fallen on the ground, and was about to turn his head to look, but Shang Shixu cupped her face in his big hands, forcing Lin Jingmo to only look into his eyes.

His eyes returned to their usual calm look, and the deep black pupils were unpredictable.

With her face held in her hands, Lin Jingmo couldn't help pouted. She thought it was a booklet from the household department on the case that had fallen, so she said, "Husband... your household registry has fallen under the table."

Shang Shixu was in a daze, and said indifferently, "Oh? Really?"

Shang Shixu was in great pain: If she knew about my crime, what would she think of me?
There was a flash of pain in the dark eyes, he looked at Lin Jingmo's clean and innocent eyes, and couldn't bear to deceive again, so he let go of his hand reluctantly, letting Lin Jingmo stand up and bend down to pick up the account book.

He even thought in his heart that if Lin Jingmo asked, he would tell her everything, even if there was no chance of revenge, even if she killed her relatives righteously and handed over the account books to Lin Shangshu. Whether it is the queen, he will not resent. The long-term torture has made him loathe his current life. Finally, someone truly loves him, and he does not want to do anything to deceive and hurt her.

Shang Shixu's eyes followed Lin Jingmo closely. She wiped the book she picked up, then stared at the words on the book, raised her eyes and smiled and said, "Account book!" Neatly placed on a stack of official documents sent by the household department.

The life-and-death account book was found so easily, and Lin Jingmo placed it on the book case so casually.

The big stone in Shang Shixu's heart also fell.

……

Shang Shixu's health gradually improved, and news came from Zhongshuling's mansion. He rushed to Zhongshuling's mansion after receiving the letter.

Zhongshuling Chen Mian was feeding his thrush with a thin spoon.

Shang Shi Xu bowed to him and said, "Greetings to foster father."

Chen Mian just stopped the eating bird with a thin spoon as if he didn't hear it, and said sharply: "You don't know how to raise an animal, why are you so anxious? You can't disobey me if you don't have strong wings."

Shang Shixu lowered his eyelids and bowed his head in silence.

However, Chen Mianzheng turned his head as if he had just noticed him, and immediately changed his amiable expression, and said, "I haven't seen my son for a long time, I heard that my son was injured, is it okay?"

Shang Shi Xu replied: "Thank you foster father for your concern, everything is already healed."

Chen Mianzheng didn't ask the reason of the matter and didn't continue to be polite, but pointed to the thrush bird beside him and said, "My son, do you know why the world loves thrushes?"

Shang Shixu looked up at the thrush with a gray abdomen, brown around the anus, and brown underwing feathers, and said: "The upper edge of the thrush's eye circles is white and extends back to the side of the neck. It looks like eyebrow lines, so it is called a thrush." , and the most pleasing thing is not its appearance, but its melodious sound, which is persistent, full of charm, and very pleasant to listen to."

Chen Mianzheng smiled and nodded when he heard the words, "It's hard to tell the male and female thrushes from their appearance, but they can usually be distinguished by their voices. Every year in the spring of March when the flowers bloom, the male thrush is first in heat and keeps singing loudly. Sing softly to attract the female bird, he sings continuously for a long time, sometimes like gurgling water, sometimes like footsteps in the valley, it is really soul-stirring!"

Shang Shixu took a closer look and said, "Why are there only male birds but no female birds here?"

"The female bird was thrown to death by the old man!" Without any hesitation, Chen Mian still handed the bird food to the thrush with a long spoon, and continued to reply in a slow tone: "The old man raised it to please me, not every day. I cried out my heart for the love and affection of the female bird. At first I heard its melodious singing, which was tolerable, but after a long time, I felt bored, so I threw his beloved wife to death in front of it, and let it know who... is the one. their master."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head again with a naive smile unique to an old man, picked up the teacup on the side table and handed it to his mouth, and said, "Time sequence, tell me, why do you think the old man doesn't mind that you are the one from Lin Yuanzhi?" The old man's son-in-law wants to become a father and son with you?"

Shang Shixu looked at Chen Mianzheng calmly, and said flatly, "Because I... am loyal to my foster father."

Almost at the same time, as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mianzheng smashed down the teacup and said, "But you betrayed me!"

The teacup hit Shang Shixu's forehead, and blood oozes instantly. He combed his hair meticulously, his face was as pale as paper due to the previous injury, his black pupils showed indifference, he pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "I dare not .”

Chen Mian was looking down at him, and said, "Why did you write to His Majesty to ask him to investigate the war in the northern border? You are playing tricks on me, Shang Shixu, I can't see it, I can't see it, I think I have been hunting eagles all my life until now But he was pecked in the eye! You don’t know what’s going on in Nanling? Or don’t you know what’s going on in the north? Don’t tell me that you fell in love with your vicious wife and learned from your father-in-law Lin Yuanzhi , full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and loyalty to the country! Don’t forget who you are! Open your mouth and you will die! Everyone will die!”

Shang Shixu was still expressionless. He quietly listened to Chen Mianzheng's yelling at him, until Chen Mianzheng mentioned his identity, then he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Chen Mianzheng coldly, and said slowly: "Nanling's tax has been increased three times, does foster father think that Nanling's matter can still be hidden?"

Chen Mianzheng replied: "The matter of the Nanling can't be concealed, but the matter of the North cannot be brought out!"

"The Nanling tax increase is all due to the defeat of the Northern Territory. Even if His Majesty does not doubt it, Lin Shangshu will doubt it, and Yushitai will not sit idly by." Shang Shixu was not aroused by Chen Mianzheng's rage just now. Any turmoil in his heart, a line of blood flowed from the corner of his forehead, but he just continued calmly: "If your majesty wants to solve the confusion of Nanling, he will go to the northern border to check the accounts. , Is it more beneficial for me to go to the northern border or is it more appropriate for other officials of the household department to go."

Chen Mian smiled coldly, and said, "You think I'm a three-year-old child? With just a few words, you can get away with it? Why are you talking about the disadvantages of the northern border? You are a poisonous snake, waiting for an opportunity! Just be an old man!" Do not understand!"

Before Chen Mian could finish speaking, Shang Shixu said calmly, "Why did Yifu and King Zhao ask me to submit letters to increase taxes again and again? You all know that there was a plague of locusts in Nanling, and this year there was a heavy rain. The people have long been without food." But, His Majesty will not levy additional taxes at all!" After saying that, he raised his eyes to look at Chen Mianzheng with a gloomy look: "Do you want... I will bear all the charges and die!"

You know... the token of Zhao Wangfu that the gangster who stabbed him was holding was real.
