After being killed by the villain husband

Chapter 60 Exogenous Branches
After Lin Jingmo packed up, he also came to the mourning hall of the general guarding the city. As soon as he entered the mourning hall, he saw Lu Feicheng with a sad face.

She walked to the place where the spiritual seat was set up, knelt down, kowtowed her head and burned incense. She came to Lu Feicheng's side and comforted her: "Brother Lu, our two families have always been on good terms, not to mention that my father and Lu Shibo are good friends. It's a pity that I came to Beijing Before Jing saw him, the old man passed away, please take care of him, Brother Lu, and let your condolences flow."

Lu Feicheng hooked his lips, his expression was like a smile but not a smile, and his bloodshot eyes were full of sadness: "Yes, my father and Lin Shangshu have a very close friendship, but I don't know how many storms will be caused by my father's departure. Who can guarantee to be alone?"

Lin Jingmo frowned in confusion when he heard the words, since he had just lost his relatives, he didn't care too much about it.

Lin Jingmo paid homage to Lu Anmin, and took Shuangyin to her small courtyard with Shang Shixu. On the way back, an old man in sackcloth and white cloth suddenly appeared from the end of the corridor.

Seeing Lin Jingmo, the old man fell to his knees immediately, kowtowed and said, "Miss Lin, please avenge my old general!"

Lin Jingmo looked at the old man on the ground with some puzzlement, and Shuangyin looked at him carefully, and exclaimed: "You are Uncle Sun, the head of General Lu's house!"

"General Lu's housekeeper?" Lin Jingmo hurried forward to support Uncle Sun and asked, "What did you mean when you said you were seeking justice for General Lu?"

Uncle Sun got up and wiped away his tears and said: "The old general was a soldier all his life. He suffered many injuries when he was young. In recent years, his old illnesses have recurred, his back hurts, and he can't get up from time to time. Therefore, the villain took advantage of the loophole and embezzled the military rations. But The Southern Qi and the Northern Yan have always been in a close match, and the two sides are evenly matched. The general did not suspect anything about the northern border. It was not until the imperial court sent people to check the government's silver and grain depots and kissed the soldiers, that the general found out Yan Ni, however, died suddenly. This morning, he was found hanging himself to death. What is even more unbelievable is that he left a letter saying that he was in collusion with Bei Yan. How is this possible? The general’s lifelong enemy is Bei Yan. The reputation is not guaranteed at the end of the festival?"

After all, he handed Lin Jingmo two pages of paper torn from the book.

Lin Jingmo took the paper full of words, looked at the explanation and remarks about the treasury's grain and grass on it, and looked at Uncle Sun in confusion: "This is it?"

Uncle Sun trembled and knelt on the ground again: "This is the evidence. This was written by the old general himself after he counted the grain depot last night. He discovered something after counting the grain and grass, so he wrote it down. How about If he is really the culprit of corruption and breaking the law, why would he write these things?"

Lin Jingmo thought for a while, folded the two pages and said, "My husband is the official in charge sent by the Holy One to investigate this matter, so I will hand over these pages to my husband."

Uncle Sun hurriedly stopped her: "No, Miss Lin, if I can trust Mrs. Shang, why would I come to you in the opposite direction?"

Lin Jingmo asked in surprise, "What does Uncle Sun mean by that?"

Uncle Sun replied: "I'm not afraid of offending Miss Lin. Mr. Shang is the adopted son of Chen Mianzheng, the current Zhongshuling, and Chen Mianzheng and King Zhao are also Weng's sons-in-law. I'm afraid the matter in the northern border has something to do with King Zhao. If this page is handed over to Shang Shixu, it is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger and throwing oneself into a trap!"

Lin Jingmo didn't think so when he heard the words: "Uncle Sun's words are wrong. Both my father and the emperor sent him to the northern border because they trusted my husband. Don't they know that he and Zhongshuling Relationship? Even if you are unwilling to hand over the pages of the book to your husband with a grudge, you can always give it to Yu Qianzhi, right?" After finishing speaking, Lin Jingmo regretted that he had spoken too quickly, forgetting the relationship between Yu Qianzhi and the bastard Zhang Yiqian, so he said : "He is not a good person either."

Uncle Sun said again: "The general is not the culprit who embezzled food and grass, so he wouldn't hang himself to apologize, he was killed by someone! Looking at the entire city guarding the general's mansion, how many outsiders are there?"

Lin Jingmo said angrily: "I can't guarantee others, but my husband is definitely not the one who killed General Lu!"

"What about Master Yu? This matter can only be given to the old general by handing it over to Lin Shangshu!" Sun Bo said earnestly, "I also hope that Miss Lin can give this page to my respected father Lin Yuanzhi."

Lin Jingmo clenched the pages of the book in his hand, not knowing what to do with it, but he heard someone shouting from outside the corridor: "Uncle Sun, why are you still here, there are a lot of things waiting outside."

Uncle Sun hurriedly responded, "Come here." After saying that, he gave Lin Jingmo a meaningful look and left.

Lin Jingmo held the folded pages in the palm of his hand, went back to the house, unfolded them and read them again.

Shuangyin on the side remained silent for a long time, seeing that Lin Jingmo hadn't recovered for a long time, and then asked, "Ma'am, what is written on it?"

"Huh?" Lin Jingmo came back to his senses and raised his head to look at Shuangyin.

Shuangyin continued to explain: "The villain is illiterate, but what Uncle Sun said just now is evidence? Could it be that the general was really killed by someone?"

Because Lin Jingmo was angry about Uncle Sun wronging Shang Shixu, he threw the paper on the table angrily and said, "It's just an ordinary record used by General Lu to record food, grass and military equipment."

"Oh, that's it." Shuangyin thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, my lord is the official who was ordered to take charge of this matter, why don't we leave it to our lord?"

Lin Jingmo didn't answer. Although she trusted Shang Shixu, this matter was of great importance, and the people and affairs involved were too complicated, so she picked up the pages of the book again and put it in her carry-on bag.

Shang Shixu didn't come back until late at night, but sent someone back to report in the evening, because he knew about the northern border and was eager to settle the accounts, so he would come back later or not.

Lin Jingmo changed his clothes, but tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep: Do you understand the matter of the northern border?Don't you have any doubts about this matter?If the pages of the book were handed over to the husband, would he change his mind and continue the thorough investigation?But if the matter is really related to Zhongshu Ling Zhao Wang, what will he do?

Thinking about it, unconsciously fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Shang Shixu came back from Yu Yuzhi's side, took off his coat and squatted beside the bed, looking at Lin Jingmo's sleeping face with a smirk by the moonlight.

He breathed a sigh of relief, never felt so at ease because of a person's deep sleep, and then he leaned against the bed and quietly closed his eyes.

With Lin Jingmo's even breathing, he also fell into a deep sleep, perhaps because his heart was trapped and his blood was blocked, he had a nightmare.

In the dream, he saw a sea of ​​flames, and he was right in the middle of the sea of ​​flames. Through the thick smoke, he saw that the murderer who set the fire was his mother!A mother actually wants to set fire to her son!
