After being killed by the villain husband

Chapter 159 Waiting and Patience

Lin Jingmo looked at Lu Feicheng in surprise: "Brother Feicheng... why do you call them rioters? They are the people of Nanling who have suffered the disaster! The grain and silver in the treasury now were originally allocated to them by the imperial court! They Is there anything wrong in asking for my own food when I already have enough to eat? How can I become a rioter?"

Lu Feicheng realized that he had just made a mistake, so he calmed down and explained: "Yes, those grains and silver were allocated by Lin Shibo himself to provide disaster relief to Nanling when he was still alive, but Lin Shibo has passed away, and now the Minister of Libu has changed People, His Majesty has not yet ordered the distribution. If they don’t ask for help, will they become rioters? If they can endure it and wait, maybe things will not become like this."

"No, Brother Fei Cheng, you don't understand." Lin Jingmo said: "The reason why my father took Nanling's matter seriously is because some people in Nanling went to Beijing to assassinate Shang Shixu because they had no food left at home. How can you let them endure it?" , how to wait? Wait until next spring when you have no energy to farm again? Wait until the elderly and children at home starve to death? Nanling has the best paddy fields in Southern Qi. If we don’t save Nanling now, not only Nanling will be finished, but the entire Southern Qi will be destroyed. It’s over!”

"Jingmo!" Lu Feicheng interrupted Lin Jingmo's words and reminded him seriously: "If you continue talking, it will be all treacherous words! Jingmo..."

Lin Jingmo saw Lu Feicheng's tough attitude, so he stood up and raised the curtain of the carriage and said to the driver outside: "Stop the car, I want to get off!"

Lu Feicheng hurriedly stopped her and said, "My good sister, there is so much chaos outside now. What if I mistake you for being a rioter and arrest you?"

"Arrested me by mistake?" Lin Jingmo frowned in confusion and said, "Why did he arrest the wrong person? Could it be that... those officers and soldiers had no target at all and no evidence, and just arrested people on the street at will? ?”

Lu Feicheng sighed helplessly and didn't know how to explain it. He had to tell the driver outside: "Don't stop the car and go back to the government office!"

He patted the seat beside him and motioned her to sit down.

Lin Jingmo sat down again reluctantly, and Lu Feicheng said seriously: "Soon, His Majesty's decree will arrive, and by then, all those people will be released. Why are you in a hurry? There are many people outside, so you She is the daughter of a wealthy family, so why bother getting involved in this muddy water? I know you are only thinking about these people, but you will find out soon. Now these decisions are made by the Minister of Household Affairs, and you also know , he has a grudge against us. If you go out and show your face, doesn't it give him an opportunity? He wants us to die now, so what if we wait? Anyway, those who are arrested will not die, His Majesty's will is Once we arrive, we can leave safely.”

Lin Jingmo calmed down and thought for a moment, thinking that what Lu Feicheng said was reasonable. He was alone, so what could he do for them?

So she nodded and said, "In that case, let's wait."

When the two returned to the government office, Lu Feicheng ordered the sergeant to prepare meals.

Lin Jingmo rejected Lu Feicheng's request to have dinner together.Returned to the room alone.

However, Lu Feicheng ordered his subordinates to call Zhou Mohan, the governor of the state, and ordered: "If those so-called rioters are almost captured, they will be dealt with as soon as possible. I want to return to Beijing as soon as possible to resume my duties."

Zhou Mohan replied: "Yes! Give me one more day, and the matter will be settled soon."

Lu Feicheng ate the dishes on the table, and then said indifferently: "Remember! In addition to the leaders, arrest some unrelated people, so as not to cause trouble. This time, the general is here just to quell the riot, not to Stirring up trouble." After that, he raised his glass and drank it down: "Also, some of the food in the storehouse should be distributed to the people. If they starve to death, who will farm next year?"

"This..." Zhou Mohan was obviously a little embarrassed: "The food in the storehouse has to fill the previous vacancies and be distributed to them. I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to my superiors!" Lu Feicheng's face gradually turned cold, and he sneered and said: "You have been a magistrate for so many years, but I can't believe that you don't even have any brains!"

Zhou Mohan was obviously unconvinced, so he said angrily: "You..."

Lu Feicheng drank the wine in front of him again and said word by word: "There is no food, not even bran? What are they? It is enough to enjoy the food. Give them some, don't let them go." Isn’t it okay to just starve to death?”

After hearing this, Zhou Mohan realized the deep meaning of Lu Feicheng's words, so he smiled and responded: "Yes, yes. I would like to thank General Lu for your advice!"

Lu Feicheng continued to eat the delicacies on the table with some disdain. After picking up a few chopsticks at random, he put them down and said, "I'm tired, general. Please withdraw. Mr. Zhou, remember to settle this matter as soon as possible. I want to return as soon as possible." Go to Beijing!" After saying that, he went into the back room to rest.

Zhou Mohan, who was behind him, agreed obsequiously and kept saying: "As you command."

……

At night, Lin Jingmo tossed and turned, and Shang Shixu finally admitted that he had killed Lin Yuanzhi. Lin Jingmo thought that Lin Kongqing's death must be related to him. All the sweet things in the past had turned into nightmares, even if she She has made up her mind to kill Shang Shixu one day, but at this moment she is still very entangled in her heart. There are too many things that she can't figure out. When the Zhou Tiehu brothers rescued the couple, Shang Shixu said that he would help them return to Nanling and be good. After only a few months of living, he turned his back and harmed innocent people.

Was it the order given to him by King Zhao and Chen Mianzheng?After all, Shang Shixian is always theirs.

Chen Tiehu's whereabouts are unknown now. I don't know if he is in danger. It will probably take a few days until he returns to the capital for approval. Even if he can wait, the people are still hungry. I wonder if they can wait?
Lin Jingmo stood up and put on a coat, then blew on the candle and lit the candlestick.With the help of the weak light, Lin Jingmo walked out of the house and passed through a row of long corridors. Lin Jingmo walked out of the government office and came to the door of the treasury. Lin Jingmo raised the candle lantern and looked at the lock on the door. .

"Who is it?" Suddenly a voice came from not far away, startling Lin Jingmo.

The man also held a small lantern and shined it in Lin Jingmo's direction. When the two of them saw each other's faces clearly, Lin Jingmo turned around and left in displeasure.

It turns out to be business timing!

Seeing that she was about to leave, Shang Shixu hurriedly asked, "Where are you going, madam?"

Lin Jingmo turned around and scolded: "I have decided to make peace with you. Please respect yourself, Mr. Shang, and stop calling me madam!"

Seeing how heartless she was, Shang Shixu became very depressed, so he didn't answer.
