Even though it was Lin Zhuo who married a wife and not married, but the wedding must be held in Jing'an Earl's Mansion.
Of course, the Lin family will also hold a ceremony, but the scale is much smaller.
This time the Earl of Jing'an's Mansion sent to the Lin family to discuss the marriage is an uncle of Wu Youyou's family, named Wu Zhaoyin.
This person's status is not high, but his seniority is relatively high.
After he came to Xuanwu City, he was immediately received with a high standard.
Lin Mo not only invited Xu Guangyun, but also invited City Lord Liu Wuyan.
Zhang Jin and Lin Zhuo were not present, because they are juniors, and this kind of marriage negotiation can only be done between the elders.
Of course, the so-called negotiation is completely a unilateral notification.
After receiving the warm hospitality, Wu Zhaoyin stayed at Lin's house that night.
The next day, before dawn, a soldier suddenly came to Lin's house, saying that Master Lin Zhuo had something important to discuss with Wu Zhaoyin.
Wu Zhaoyin is getting old and sleeps relatively lightly. Last night, he drank and chanted poems rather late. After finally falling asleep for two hours, he was woken up. Of course he was unhappy.
It's just that Lin Zhuo said that he had important matters to discuss, and he didn't delay. After washing up, he drove to the Qianhu Office in Yanshan with an unhappy expression on his face.
By the time we reached our destination, it was already dawn.
"What important business do your lords have that you called me here before dawn?" Wu Zhaoyin said angrily.
But he found that the soldier who came to report had long since disappeared.
So he became even more angry, and rushed directly into the Yanshan Qianhu Office.
Then, he saw the extremely eye-catching scene in front of him.
Lin Zhuo and Wang Lian are still entangled with each other, and they don't stay together.
Suddenly he was completely stunned and could hardly believe his eyes.
Lin Zhuo, are you crazy
It's not unusual to mess with a rabbit, but you messed around in the barracks
Do you still take Jing'an Earl's Mansion seriously
Do you still want fame? Do you want to lose face
For a moment, Wu Zhaoyin pointed at Lin Zhuo, trembling all over, unable to speak.
"Oh, I'm going blind. I, I'm still a child, why did you let me see this scene?"
At this time, there was an exaggerated voice from the side, which sounded like Shen Lang, because it was so pretentious.
Shen Lang came with Jin Zhong and others!
The scene in front of me is really a bit like the X-sweeping scene in a hotel.
…
Lin Zhuo's brain was about to explode.
The first time he opened his eyes and saw Wang Lian's sinister smile, he was already stunned.
When he saw Wu Zhaoyin again, he really wanted to faint immediately.
This is the clan uncle of the fiancée. Although the power in the Earl's Mansion of Jing'an is not high, his seniority is very high and he is very conservative.
"Lin Zhuo, you have done a good deed, do you still want face?"
Finally, Wu Zhaoyin's voice roared out.
Lin Zhuo only felt cold all over his body, but cold sweat broke out on his back.
At this moment, he could no longer care about the shame.
The future is the most important, the fate is the most important.
Immediately, he got rid of Wang Lian's entanglement, knelt down towards Wu Zhaoyin and said, "Uncle Zu, listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation, I was framed..."
"My lord, please be the master for the students." Unexpectedly, Wang Lian next to him was even faster. He knelt and crawled in front of Wu Zhaoyin, hugged his legs and cried, "Lin Zhuo has been sending people to look for me these days. I thought I had something important to do, so I came to see him yesterday evening. Who knew that this beast would get me drunk and molested me."
"My lord, although I, Wang Lian, have been deprived of my fame, I used to be a Juren, and I was once the director of Xuanwu City."
"Lin Zhuo, I'm going to sue you, I'm going to sue you!"
Immediately, Lin Zhuo was completely stunned.
Before he could speak, Wang Lian actually bit him first
Shen Lang said: "Wang Lian, although I am your enemy. But I am a righteous person by nature, and I can't bear to see such a tragedy. I support you to sue him, don't worry that someone will kill someone to silence you. I will let the Earl of Xuanwu lead troops to protect it." You, you go to the prefect's mansion to sue, you go to the governor's mansion to sue, in short, I must give you an explanation."
"If a prince breaks the law, he is the same crime as the common people, let alone a mere deputy of a thousand households?" Shen Lang said righteously: "I don't believe that there is no justice in this world, and I don't believe that a person's innocence and dignity are so ruined."
At this moment, Lin Zhuo reacted.
He suddenly looked at Shen Lang full of resentment, and hissed: "Shen Lang, are you plotting against me?"
Shen Lang sneered and said: "What does this have to do with me? Obviously you told me yesterday that I would come to you before today and apologize to you, so you were willing to let the innocent soldiers of the Earl's Mansion of Xuanwu go. It’s here, I didn’t expect to see such a terrifying scene.”
Then Shen Lang said: "Come here, protect Wang Lianju, no matter how much he offends me, he is also a distant relative of the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion, so he can't just let people ruin it for nothing. Wang Lian, I will take you to the prefect's mansion to file a complaint." .”
Then, Shen Lang waved his hand.
Jin Zhong and the others took a cloak, wrapped Wang Lian up, and immediately wanted to take him away and complain to the prefect's mansion.
"Wait!" It was Wu Zhaoyin from the Earl's Mansion of Jing'an who stopped him.
Of course he could see at this time that Lin Zhuo was framed by someone, and all of this was Shen Lang's conspiracy.
Shen Lang said: "What advice does the elder have?"
Of course Wu Zhaoyin couldn't let Shen Lang take Wang Lian to the prefect's mansion to file a complaint. Even though he was not married yet, Lin Zhuo was already Wu Youyou's fiancé after all.
If Shen Lang brought Wang Lian to file a complaint, then the matter would become a big mess, and an astonishing scandal would be caused, which would do great damage to the reputation of the Earl of Jing'an.
"What do you want?" Wu Zhaoyin asked directly.
Shen Lang said: "A dozen cavalrymen from Earl Xuanwu's Mansion were detained by Lin Zhuo Qianhu for no reason. I came here to ask for someone."
"Dreaming..." Lin Zhuo was about to blurt out instinctively.
But Wu Zhaoyin said directly: "Let him go."
Lin Zhuo was stunned, but he didn't dare to disobey at all, and ordered to release all the dozen or so cavalrymen from the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion.
After a while, these dozen or so people appeared in front of Shen Lang.
Although these people looked a little haggard and had scars on their bodies, at least they didn't have the threat of life.
Mainly Jin Jianniang, her clothes are still intact, it seems that she has not suffered any humiliation.
It's just that she was still the same as before. After seeing Shen Lang, her face flushed immediately, and she seemed to have nowhere to put her hands and feet. It really couldn't be seen that she was a knight with strong martial arts.
It's a crime, it's really distressing to be so handsome, because there are countless women who will have a crush on you.
"Lord Lin Zhuo, please leave." Shen Lang said: "This Wang Lian is too pitiful, I was worried that you would kill him to silence him, so I also took him away."
Next, Shen Lang took away a dozen cavalrymen and Wang Lian from the Earl's Mansion.
It's not his style, is it
He has never been at a disadvantage. Now that the cavalrymen of Earl Xuanwu's mansion have been detained and whipped, since Shen Lang just left, there is no more vicious revenge
This is because Shen Lang is afraid of ruining the next more exciting story.
After having a good time with Wang Lian, the terrible virus in Lin Zhuo's body still needs time to take hold. If he said to kill your whole family, he must do it.
...
After Shen Lang took Wang Lian and others away.
Everyone in the entire hall retreated cleanly.
Lin Zhuo quickly found a piece of clothing to put on, then knelt down in front of Wu Zhaoyin.
"Uncle, I was framed..."
Wu Zhaoyin directly blocked his defense.
"Lin Zhuo, it's more embarrassing to be framed than to actually summon the rabbit son, do you understand?"
This sentence expresses the difference in thinking between commoners and nobles.
In the eyes of the nobles, it doesn't matter if your private life is messy, even if you play with men, as long as you are awesome.
But being framed is incompetence, the greatest sin.
"Why were you framed by someone? Because you are drifting away. Since you became the husband-in-law of our Wu family, you seem to be deep in the clouds. You feel that you can do whatever you want with a big backer. Look at you when you return to Xuanwu City What did you do in the end? The first time you hired those cronies to show off."
"If you hadn't shown off so much, how could you have been succeeded by Wang Lian?"
Wu Zhaoyin's words can be said to be heartbreaking.
Let Lin Zhuo recall what he did during these days, it is really shameful.
He was a very shrewd person before, why did he become so negligent all of a sudden
"Young man, keep your eyes on your feet, not up to the sky, or you will fall."
"Of course, it's okay for young people to suffer a little setback. The fall now can at least make you alert, and at least you won't die if you fall from this height. If you fall from a higher place in the future, you will be smashed to pieces."
"It's nothing to play with the rabbit. There are many nobles. The key is that you have shown incompetence this time, which makes us very disappointed. How does this make us believe that you can take on important responsibilities in the future? How does this make us believe that you can become the Earl of Jing'an Representatives whose residence is in Xuanwu City, or even in Nujiang County?"
Lin Zhuo immediately kowtowed and said, "Uncle, please teach me."
Wu Zhaoyin said: "This kind of thing happened, whether it is big or small. Whether your marriage with Youyou will continue or not depends entirely on her father. Do you know what to say when you see him?"
Lin Zhuo kowtowed again and said, "Uncle taught me."
Wu Zhaoyin said: "After you see the Patriarch, don't make any excuses, let alone say that you were framed. You just need to highlight four words, and be brave after knowing your shame! You desperately reviewed your own complacency, and Shen Lang took the opportunity to frame you What you have to do is to self-criticize and magnify your shortcomings ten times, one hundred times. You have to be more distressed and disappointed than anyone else. You even take the initiative to dissolve the engagement with Youyou, so there is still a glimmer of life."
Lin Zhuo was amazed immediately.
The Earl of Jing'an's Mansion is really awesome. This clan uncle does not hold an important position, and he is actually a master.
Wu Zhaoyin continued: "If this doesn't make the Patriarch change his mind, then you can draw your sword and kill yourself, saying that you would rather die than tarnish the reputation of the Earl's Mansion of Jing'an. At this time, you must be decisive when you kill yourself, and you must be ruthless and sincere. Cut your own neck, but remember to avoid the main artery, you have to practice it dozens or hundreds of times with a wooden sword.”
Lin Zhuo said: "Father-in-law is a giant in the military, and he has seen countless people. Even if I act realistically, I will definitely be seen through by him, right?"
Wu Zhaoyin sneered: "Of course he will see through, how could he really commit suicide? It is precisely because he will see through that he has to show it."
Lin Zhuo kowtowed and said, "Uncle teach me."
Wu Zhaoyin said: "He can see through that your suicide is a performance, but it also shows another characteristic of you, which is shameless enough and good at acting. What is the most important political task? Acting!"
"Also, you acted like you killed yourself and cut your own neck. What does this prove? You are ruthless enough to yourself, but of course you are even more ruthless to the enemy. You can act and be so ruthless. How could the owner be so cruel?" Doesn't he look up to you? He will think that you are worth cultivating, and when the time comes, your marriage with Youyou will be able to continue."
An expert, really an expert.
Lin Zhuo was overwhelmed with admiration.
Unexpectedly, this unknown clan uncle would be so unpredictable.
Is everyone in the nobles so awesome
Shen Lang, wait for me, when I get over this breath, I will definitely return ten times the humiliation today.
But at this moment, Wu Zhaoyin said indifferently: "You are ready to go to Jing'an City to meet the Patriarch. By the way, go back and tell your father, give me more money, three times more!"
…
Inside the Earl's Mansion of Xuanwu.
Shen Lang said: "Father-in-law, this Wu Zhaoyin looks really awesome."
The Earl frowned very slightly.
He personally feels very uncomfortable with the vocabulary of awesome.
But now he also understands that in this world, only others can adapt to Shen Lang, not let Shen Lang adapt to this world.
The earl has already realized how awesome this son-in-law is.
well!
What a pity, why isn't he my son
However, there is nothing to regret.
He is my son.
At the end of the day, it's a good kid, and a good kid at that.
"This Wu Zhaoyin is of course very remarkable." The Earl explained: "Twenty years ago, he competed with Bo Jing An for the position of son."
As soon as this word came out.
Shen Lang and Uncle Xuanwu looked at Jin Mucong not far away at the same time.
This fat house is still copying books.
well!
Shen Lang and Uncle Xuanwu sighed at the same time.
If the Earl had a second son, there would be nothing wrong with this fat house.
In the Earl's Mansion of Jing'an, two outstanding sons have already fought for the position of the son at this age, but you are still copying your homework
And you, Jin Mucong, a fat man, became a prince with your eyes closed. This world is really unfair.
Sensing the two gazes, Jin Mucong shrank his neck and said weakly, "Why are you looking at me?"
Shen Lang asked: "Then how did Wu Zhaoyin lose?"
Uncle Xuanwu said: "I can't give birth to a child."
ah!
How miserable! If you can't have children, no matter how good you are, you can't be a master.
Then Shen Lang was a little worried about himself, he was reading so hard on the wall during this time, might his body be exhausted, and he would not be able to have children in the future.
Bah bah bah!
Crow's mouth, crow's mouth!
But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Why is there so much noise again
After a while, Jin Zhong came in to report.
"Master, Uncle, I'm asking to see you from the common people in the fief."
Did you hear that, what Jin Zhong directly said was the master, the son-in-law, and no heir.
However, Jin Mu Cong didn't care at all.
When it comes to important matters, he doesn't wait for others to ignore him, he ignores himself first.
I don't care about your affairs, my world is only copying homework.
…
Earl Xuanwu and Shen Lang came outside the castle of the Earl's Mansion.
Immediately, dozens of elders in front knelt down neatly.
"Meet the count..."
Uncle Xuanwu hurried forward to help the oldest villager up, and said: "Everyone is older than me, how can you do this great gift, get up, get up!"
Dozens of villagers stood up.
Uncle Xuanwu said: "You elders come to see me, but what's the matter?"
One of the village elders said: "Under the care of the Earl's Mansion, the mulberry leaves have grown well this year, and the silkworms have not suffered from any serious diseases. This year's silkworm cocoon harvest is bumper, nearly 20% more than in previous years."
Uncle Xuanwu said: "This is a good thing. After selling the cocoons, everyone's life will be more comfortable."
The old man said: "Who says it's not? Everyone is very happy and feels that they can live a good life this year. They are thanking the Earl's Mansion for their kindness? Who knew that after we sent the silkworm cocoons to Xuanwu City, they would not accept them."
No charge
In previous years, silkworm cocoons were harvested well, but this year they refused to harvest them
Of the 100,000 people in the entire Xuanwu Earl's Mansion, 70% depend on silkworm farming for their livelihood.
The annual income from silkworm farming is much higher than that from rice cultivation.
Farmers in the fief almost used most of their fields and mountain lands to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms. The money they got from selling the silkworm cocoons was used to pay taxes to Earl Xuanwu's mansion, part to buy grain, and the rest to be used for household use.
Because the Earl's Mansion's taxes were not high, the farmers on the fief had a good life raising silkworms, better than other farmers in Xuanwu City.
Two years ago, many farmers on the fief spent a lot of money to replace better mulberry saplings, which produced more leaves.
Now these cocoons are not collected
This is going to be a big deal.
This is equivalent to nearly half a year's labor wasted by nearly 100,000 fief farmers, and without money, how can they pay taxes to the Earl's House, how can they buy food, and how can they support their wives and children.
The whole family is counting on selling silkworm cocoons to make a living.
In the earl's mansion's annual income, the tax from silkworms accounts for a quarter. Once the earl's mansion is cut off, there will be a serious economic crisis.
Moreover, the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion has to repay the debt to Yinyuanhui every six months, and without this money, the capital chain will be broken directly.
The most important thing is that the 100,000 fief citizens have no money to buy food, but there will be big troubles.
The earl said: "Xu Guangyun doesn't accept it, and Lin Mo from Jinxiu Pavilion doesn't accept it either?"
The old man said: "Yes, these two families do not accept the silkworm cocoons produced by our fiefdom of Earl Xuanwu's Mansion."
The earl said: "In the past, silk merchants from other counties came to collect silkworm cocoons, and they even competed to bid first. Didn't they come this year?"
The old man said: "No, none of the silk merchants from other counties came, and they could only sell to the Xu family or the Lin family. But these two families deliberately targeted us and publicly ordered that they were not allowed to accept our silkworm cocoons. No, and said that there will not be a silk merchant in the entire Tiannan Province who will accept our silkworm cocoons."
This matter is serious.
There are worms inside the silk cocoons, if they are not processed within a certain period of time, the worms inside will turn into moths, bite through the cocoons and fly out, and by that time, the cocoons will be ruined by half.
This is an economic attack on Earl Xuanwu's Mansion. Xu Jialin's family is just an operator, and Zhang Chong and Zhu Rong are behind them. Otherwise, no silk merchants from other places will come.
The old man said: "Patriarch Xu and his daughter are still talking openly, wanting them to accept the silkworm cocoons from our fiefdom, unless my uncle goes to talk to her in person, otherwise our silkworm cocoons will rot at home and we will starve to death. "
Shen Lang's eyes shrank suddenly, this trick again
Lin Zhuo was half-dead by me just now, and his death is not far away. You Xu Guangyun, Xu Qianqian still play this game
But this is also planned.
Just right!
The Chinese New Year is coming in a few months, and Shen Lang happened to kill the Xu family's fat pig to have a good New Year.
Shen Lang smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go talk to the Xu family right now."
Immediately, dozens of village elders knelt down towards Shen Lang and said, "Thank you for saving my life, my aunt."
…
Shen Lang came to Xu's house to negotiate with Xu Guangyun and Xu Qianqian.
The ex-wife didn't have any nonsense, and straightforwardly set out the conditions. After repeated torture by Shen Lang, she seemed to become more resolute and stronger.
"Shen Lang, do you want us to collect the silkworm cocoons from the farmers on the fiefdom of the Earl of Xuanwu's Mansion?"
"The condition is very simple. You hand over the formula of purple and iridescent dyes for free, so that we can consider reducing the price to buy the silkworm cocoons produced in your fiefdom. Yes, it is a price reduction."
"Otherwise, let the silkworm cocoons of your 100,000 people rot at home and let them starve to death. Or you can find a way to transport these silkworm cocoons to Vietnam for sale? But you have no official documents for such a large amount of goods, so they are still rotten. Let's go home."
"Shen Lang, when you offended us unscrupulously, you should have thought that today would come."
…
