The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 162 Poppies (11)

I analyzed these things to Ji Mingmei, and at the same time told Lin Yubin.Lin Yubin remained silent after listening, but did not argue.I sighed, "Your brother is giving me an explanation for the Lin family, but I don't need such an explanation. He left home for twenty years because of that piece of paper, and I think this price is enough."

"Maybe he's not just explaining to you, but also explaining to himself." Lin Yubin became a little depressed again, "He has been away from home for [-] years because of this, and the Lin family was expelled from the Six Arts Club because of this. The meaning of the Lin family's existence It was to protect this stack of paper, but the paper was lost in our hands."

"You are wrong." I said to him seriously, "People are always more important than things. Even without this stack of papers, wouldn't the Six Arts Association not be passed on?"

"That's true, but you're the only one who can say it." Lin Yubin smiled wryly, looked at me and said, "When you say this, it's a clear sense of justice, but when it's said by the Lin family, it's to shirk responsibility. "

I was silent when I heard the words, and he was right. "Now that the matter has been clarified, won't Mr. Lin invite your elder brother out?"

"I don't know where he is." Lin Yubin turned his head out of the window with a sad expression on his face. "In order to take responsibility for me, my brother did not hesitate to step down as the head of the family and left home alone to pursue the truth. We have been 20 years old. We haven't seen each other for a year, but after he returned to Donglin Town, he didn't come home to see me immediately."

"So you didn't know he was back?" I asked him.

"I didn't know he came back until I heard about your experience in the thatched cottage." Lin Yubin sighed inaudibly, "I know he didn't come to me, but he was still planning for me. Otherwise, if I Knowing that the real book thief is my father-in-law, how should I deal with myself?"

So in order to save Lin Yubin from embarrassment, Lin Yuxi took care of everything by himself.From this point of view, he was sincere to this young brother. "By the way, you would appear in that teahouse to meet Yuan Haowen. What's the reason?"

"It was Steward Lin who asked me to go. He said that he had reserved a seat for me and my...my confidante there. But when I went, I found that my confidante did not go there, but ran into Yuan It’s a good question, I was still feeling guilty at the time.”

I nodded and said, "I think it was Brother Ling's idea. He thought carefully and asked you to show your face there, otherwise you will not be cleared of the crime of murder in the thatched cottage."

"Eldest brother is like a father. Since my parents passed away, he has treated me generously and thought of me in everything." Lin Yubin said sadly.

"But there is still one thing I don't understand," I turned around, "What's the matter with the book in the second lady's book store?"

"What book?" Lin Yubin didn't understand, so I told him about the fact that I was going to buy "Jianghuai Stranger Records", but turned out to be "Ji Shenlu" after I bought the book, and I also told him that the authors of the two books were also The matter of Weng's son-in-law has been said.

Lin Yubin also shook his head in bewilderment after hearing this. If this incident was not a coincidence, then the person who made this book must know the truth about the book theft case back then, so he used this as a foreshadowing.It’s just that I don’t know why this book ended up in my hands. Could it be Lin Yuxi’s arrangement?
If so, then the second lady should also be his helper, because she recommended this book to me at that time.I told Lin Yubin this idea, and he also felt that what I said was reasonable, so he said to me: "Since she knows about this, she must also know where my brother is now. I'll ask her, since my brother has already returned When I come to Donglin Town, I should come to see you."

It was very appropriate for Lin Yubin to ask about this matter, so I nodded and asked him to come to the hotel to let me know if he had any news. Then I told him about the Wenling landslide and asked him why the boatman would say his name Come.Lin Yubin didn't know the answer, but he agreed to ask me at home.

I thanked him and declined his offer.Although we didn't mention Mrs. Lin, but 20 years ago, Yuan Chumo was able to sneak into the thatched cottage and steal the bookcase hidden on the horned beast. It is most likely that Mrs. Lin brought him in.At that time, Yuan Chumo only thought that the bookcase was so hidden that it must be very precious, but he didn't know that there was only a stack of blank papers in it.

These things are related to Lin Yubin and his wife. Even Lin Yuxi has to hide the truth from Lin Yubin when he finds out the truth. Naturally, it is not easy for us to mention it.Now that Yuan Chumo is dead, the Lin family and the Yuan family are at war, we don't want to bother Lin Yubin anymore, let him handle these matters by himself.

Lin Yubin saw that we insisted on not staying, so he sent us out of the Lin family's gate, and then turned around and went to the book shop to find the second wife.After we got back to the hotel, we ordered some food in the store by ourselves, passed our stomachs, and then went back to the room to rest.I didn't sleep well last night, so I was a little sleepy, so I wanted to go to bed and take a nap.

Ji Mingmei slept well last night and was so energetic that she could kill a cow.I saw her jumping up and down in the room, but she refused to sit down, so I hurriedly handed her the purse, and told her to go out to find a cow contest by herself, and don't use my exercises against me.Ji Mingmei took the purse and smiled beamingly, saying repeatedly that I treated her so well.

I laughed dryly when I heard it, thinking that Miss Ji is very skilled, but this room is small, if she uses her magical skills, I will inevitably get punched and kicked in this ready-made target, and the best thing is to save my life and money.I lay down on the bed after she left, and before I was ready for sleep, sleepiness suddenly stretched out my hand and rolled me in.

Although the drowsiness came in a hurry, but this sleep was down-to-earth.It was already evening when I opened my eyes, and I just got up and sat on the bed and yawned wildly, when the door was suddenly kicked open.I was a little dazed when I first woke up from the dream, thinking that this footwork looked like a hero, but I didn't expect that Ji Mingmei would only go out for a while, and this would be a miracle?
Before I could say a word of admiration, someone outside the room had already walked in and said to me urgently: "Sir! Sir!"

After I took a closer look, I realized that this person was not Ji Mingmei, but the manager of the Lin family. At this time, the face was gloomy, and his face looked unlucky, as if it was not him who kicked the door just now, but him who kicked the door.When I saw that it was him who came in, I didn't bother to pay attention to his rude behavior of kicking the door, so I hurriedly said, "But Mr. Lin asked me to go to Lin's house?"

Manager Lin said dejectedly: "My husband, he was killed!"

"What!" I suddenly stood up from the bed, never expecting that Lin Yubin would be killed suddenly.The person behind the horned beast is his elder brother Lin Yuxi, Lin Yuxi thinks of him in everything, so how could Lin Yubin be killed?

I hurriedly put on my shoes, walked towards the door, and asked Guanshi Lin, "What happened, how did Mr. Lin get killed?"

Steward Lin swallowed, as if he couldn't believe it.Seeing this, I said anxiously: "Everyone is dead, is there anything I can't say?"

"My husband was killed by a sorcerer!" Steward Lin didn't say anything, but when he said it, I was stunned. He stopped in his tracks, frowned and said, "What did you say?"

Steward Lin made a gesture of invitation to me, motioning for me to talk while walking.I walked out of the room with him, and Manager Lin told me that after Ji Mingmei and I left the Lin family, Lin Yubin went to the book store to look for the second wife. own study.

I don't know what he was doing in the study. When dinner was approaching, the servants at home were going to treat him to a meal, but unexpectedly found a puff of smoke coming out of the study, accompanied by Lin Yubin's screams.The servant was terrified and hurriedly shouted loudly. At this time, Guanshi Lin also came back from the printing workshop, and rushed over when he heard the shout.

At this time, the study room was already on fire, with thick smoke bursting out, as if some monster was hiding in the smoke, tearing Lin Yubin alive.Seeing that the fire had started, Steward Lin was worried about Lin Yubin's safety, so he put on a wet blanket and broke into the study, dragging Lin Yubin out.But Lin Yubin's body was already scorched black at this moment, and he was burned beyond recognition.

Grieved, Steward Lin hurried to Xiyuan Town to retrieve Mrs. Lin.When Mrs. Lin heard that her husband was engulfed in fire, she rolled her eyes and passed out in anxiety. When she woke up, she burst into tears, saying that it was Yuan Haowen who cursed Lin Yubin to death.Steward Lin heard her speak strangely, so he hurriedly asked her why Yuan Haowen cursed Lin Yubin to death.

Mrs. Lin couldn't make a sound, and only talked about the matter intermittently.It turned out that shortly after Lin Yubin left Yuan's house, Yuan Haowen was heartbroken over his father's death, and decided that Lin Yubin had killed Yuan Chumo, so he immediately asked someone to go to a paper-making shop and buy a paper figurine with Lin Yubin's name on it. The name was cremated in Yuan Chumo's mourning hall, saying that he wanted Lin Yubin to make amends to Yuan Chumo.

Mrs. Lin was also there at the time, and she had a big quarrel with Yuan Haowen, accusing him of disregarding right and wrong and thinking of such a vicious method to curse Lin Yubin.But Yuan Haowen only cared about venting his anger and never paid any attention to her.Mrs. Lin was so angry that she kowtowed to her father a few times and then left on the spot to return to the Lin family, declaring that she would cut off contact with the Yuan family from now on.

She didn't want to wait for her to leave the Lin's house, but Lin Guanshi had already rushed to tell her about Lin Yubin's fire.When asked again about the time when Lin Yubin was burned, it turned out to be almost the same as when Yuan Hao asked about the cremation of the paper figurine.So it seems that Lin Yubin suffered the fire for no reason because Yuan Haowen cremated Lin Yubin's paper figurine.

This matter seemed to be like a magic spell. After hearing this, I also felt chills behind my back, and I was so shocked that I couldn't say a word.After a while, I asked Manager Lin: "Is Mr. Lin really the only one in the study at that time?"

"No mistake, the study is in a side courtyard, and there is only one door for entry and exit. There are people outside the door who are tending the flowers and plants. I only saw the husband go in, and no one else came in or out until the fire broke out."

This is too sensational, but in my heart besides horror, there is also puzzlement.Lin Yubin went to the bookstore to ask his second wife Lin Yuxi's whereabouts. Normally, if he found out about Lin Yuxi's whereabouts, he should go to find Lin Yuxi. Why did he return to his study after leaving the bookstore.

Could it be that the second lady told him that Lin Yuxi was hiding in his study?
I stopped suddenly, turned around and asked Guanshi Lin, "Where is Lin Yuxi?"

Steward Lin's face froze when he heard the words, and I said again: "Mr. Lin's murder may have something to do with him. Do you want to keep hiding it?"

"No. Mr. Da will never harm Mr. Lin." Steward Lin said anxiously, "He has loved Mr. the most since he was a child. How could he attack him?"

"I didn't say he was the one who killed the person, but Mr. Lin went to the bookstore to inquire about Lin Yuxi's whereabouts, but when he came back, he was caught in a fire, so I want to know what this matter has to do with him."

Steward Lin hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mister Da is not at Lin's house, but has always been at my house."

His words admitted everything, but I couldn't help being a little weird when I heard it, "The mayor is your father-in-law, he died under the conspiracy of Lin Yuxi and you, and you let Lin Yuxi hide in your At home? You...you don't care about your wife's feelings at all?"

"She doesn't know the truth about the cause of her father's death," Guanshi Lin said with a sad face, "Besides, this matter is not my collusion with Mr. Da. I just made an appointment with her father to meet at the printing shop in advance, but I don't know what Mr. Da is serious about. His life. If he knew, he would definitely not do this."

It turned out that he just made an appointment with the mayor, but he didn't expect that Lin Yuxi would kill the mayor as well. When it was done, he had nothing to do, so he had to cooperate with Lin Yuxi to stage the scene of stealing the sky and changing the sun again.I felt a little better when I heard the words. The ancients said that it is reasonable to hide from each other because it is the protection of human relations.

Hiding relatives does not mean that relatives should be condoned when they do evil, but that relatives should not cause them to be punished.Think about it carefully, if a person can betray even his closest relatives without hesitation, can he still keep his bottom line?
"So when Mr. Lin was caught in the fire, Lin Yuxi was not at the Lin's house, so this has nothing to do with him?"

Steward Lin nodded.In this case, this matter can only be caused by Yuan Haowen.Yuan Chumo and the mayor died strangely. Who would have thought that Lin Yubin's death would be even weirder than theirs.The cause of death of the former two was human-induced, so what about Lin Yubin's death?
My thoughts changed sharply, and I kept asking Manager Lin: "Why isn't Lin Yuxi planning to go back to the Lin family? After the death of Mr. Yuan and the mayor, what happened back then is over, so he doesn't want to see Mr. Lin?"

"Mr. Da said that the Lin family is an innocent family, but what he has done all these years is not innocent, and he cannot go back and tarnish the Lin family's lintel. So he does not plan to return to the Lin family, nor does he plan to see Mr., so as to save himself from embarrassment."
