Chapter 86 Return home and refuse to plead guilty!
Under Lin Zhiqing's arrangement, Lin Shi'an and Lin Yangyang began to take stock of the comings and goings of the Lin family's servants, and also took the opportunity to tidy up the warehouse.

Although the old stewards left by the second grandfather were determined not to let them take action, two fists could not beat four hands after all.

The rectification lasted until midnight.

Afterwards, the lights in the Lin family's house were on, and Lin Zhiqing and the other two were quietly waiting for the person who was supposed to come back.

Lin Yangyang was the most impatient and kept pacing at the door.

Lin Shian felt irritated and looked at the current Lin family with mixed feelings.

After pursing his lips, he finally spoke: "Zhiqing, I recorded this matter truthfully at noon and sent it to Bianliang by carrier pigeon, but I didn't mention you and Yangyang going to the brothel."

Lin Zhiqing nodded slightly and did not blame Lin Shian for hiding it from him.

Because she knew in her heart that Lin Shian was certainly not delivering the message to the group of side branches in the old house in Bianliang.

The Lin family of Changning Marquisate is in name only, but the reason why this "name" still exists is because the old marquis of the Lin family is still alive.

From the moment Lin Zhiqing returned to the Lin family, he had been very curious about what kind of person this old marquis, who had spent his entire life in military service, was.

But Aunt Mu just sighed and said that the old marquis was in poor health and had been recuperating in Bianliang.

Having said that, Lin Zhiqing understood it in his heart.

As one of the only two people in the Lin family who had real power on the battlefield, his own father died in that way, so this old marquis would definitely not be able to hold on to the military power.

Retiring to his hometown and staying away from the whirlpool in Shengjing City is actually preserving the foundation of the Lin family, but if everyone leaves, given the suspicion of the person in that position, the Lin family will still be in trouble.

The current situation may be the most stable.

But this is only superficial stability.

Although Lin Zhiqing did not expect that Lin Shi'an would deliver a letter to the old marquis, he knew that it was necessary.

The Lin of the Lin family is still the old marquis’s Lin.

I just don’t know what kind of expression would be on the old marquis’ face when he received the letter about the disintegration of the Shengjing Lin family.

Just as Lin Zhiqing was thinking seriously, a burst of messy footsteps interrupted the silence of the night.

Lin Yangyang stopped in her tracks and looked towards the door expectantly.

Lin Shian stood up and took a few steps forward.

Under the gaze of everyone, a young figure came into view.

"Lin Jiusi?" Lin Yangyang was a little surprised: "Why are you back?"

The smile on Lin Jiusi's face immediately fell when his eyes met the three people:

"Who are you all crying for? Don't you want to see me come back? And where's my grandpa?"

Lin Shian frowned: "Jiusi, we have been waiting for you today. If we didn't want to see you come back, we wouldn't..."

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Lin Jiusi was a little embarrassed, but when he saw Lin Shian, he became excited: "A person from a side branch dares to teach me a lesson?"

"Lin Jiusi, who allowed you to talk to Shi'an like that?" Lin Yangyang's face flushed with anger. "We've been running around all day cleaning up your mess. My father and fourth uncle haven't returned yet."

"You little heartless person, listen to what you are saying, are you talking like a human being?"

When Lin Jiusi heard this, he immediately became unhappy: "Did I ask you to run errands for me? This matter has nothing to do with me."

"What did you say?" Lin Zhiqing spoke.

"I say..." Lin Jiusi was about to speak, but when he saw Lin Zhiqing, his cheeks felt a dull pain.

He shut up completely and didn't dare to speak anymore.

Lin Zhiqing rolled his eyes silently. A foul-mouthed person like Lin Jiusi would never learn his lesson unless he was taught a lesson.

"Tell me everything that happened since you were arrested today, quickly." Lin Zhiqing had no patience for him. Lin Jiusi had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, but he didn't dare to express it.

After he was arrested, he was first detained in the Ministry of War for most of the day, and then transferred to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation.

After the Ministry of Justice had interrogated him, they threw him into prison and ignored him.

Finally, he was released for unknown reasons.

Although he was not tortured, Lin Jiusi, who lived a life of luxury, was still exhausted.

After saying this, he became listless, and only perked up a little when he was cursing people.

Lin Jiusi wanted to go back to the yard, but Lin Zhiqing would not let him go back and took him to the main hall to wait.

Half an hour later, a carriage stopped at the gate of the Lin family.

Lin Congli is back.

He had just stepped onto the steps when another carriage stopped and Lin Congyan also came back.

The two looked at each other and saw the exhaustion and dejection in each other's eyes.

After looking at each other in silence, the two walked forward, but after knocking on the door for a long time, the door finally opened slowly.

Seeing the person who opened the door, Lin Congli frowned habitually: "Why are you here? Where is the doorman?"

Aunt Mu bowed to the two of them and said, "Master, the doorman has run away."

"Run away?" Lin Congyan's peach blossom eyes were filled with anger: "Where did you run to?"

"This... I don't know." Aunt Mu stepped aside.

Lin Congli and Lin Congyan looked at each other, not knowing where to vent their frustration, so they could only quickly walk into the door.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Aunt Mu gradually straightened up.

In fact, although most of the Lin family's servants had run away, there were still some who came to open the door.

The reason why Lin Zhiqing asked Aunt Mu to come over was to first psychologically arouse the emotions of the two of them.

Shortly after the two entered the door, a high-pitched "whoa" was heard, and today's protagonist finally arrived.

When Lin Zhiqing's second grandfather rushed to the main hall, the first thing he saw was Lin Congli and Lin Congyan angrily interrogating Lin Jiusi, who was kneeling on the ground.

Seeing that Lin Jiusi was fine, his first reaction was relief.

Lin Zhiqing and others stood aside, without saying anything or expressing any opinions.

After catching his breath, the Second Grandfather walked into the hall and asked, "Congli, Congyan, what are you doing?"

He still spoke in his usual way, but the smile on his face was no longer there.

When Lin Jiusi heard his grandfather's voice, he seemed to have found his backbone and immediately shouted, "Grandpa, save me!"

Lin Congyan glanced at Lin Jiusi, no longer showing the same respect to his Second Grandfather as before: "What should we do? I also want to ask you, Second Uncle, what have you done?"

Lin Congli suppressed his anger and said, "Second Uncle, if you didn't know what happened today, how could you have rushed back so quickly?"

Second Grandpa ignored their sarcasm and pulled Lin Jiusi up with a distressed look on his face:
"Jiusi, you've suffered a lot today. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Lin Jiusi pounded his knees and supported his waist, saying that his whole body was in pain.

This was the first time Lin Zhiqing saw the grandfather and grandson together, and he was a little surprised.

It seems that the second grandfather dotes on Lin Jiusi very much.

When Lin Jiusi stood up, he looked at Lin Zhiqing, Lin Shian and others provocatively.

Before Lin Zhiqing could take a closer look, Lin Jiusi immediately pointed the finger at her: "Grandpa, Lin Zhiqing hit me!"
