Tibetan Sea Pearl

As night fell, the mansion of the prefect Lin was dark and plunged into the night, but the residence where Lin Cheng lived was brightly lit.

Letters from Nansong were delivered one after another, and the letters contained the news Nansong had inquired about when he went to Beijing, most of which were about the Lin family.

Lin Ling's husband-in-law, Deputy General Liang, was transferred to Liaodong, but he didn't take up his post immediately. Instead, he asked him to go home and recuperate for a month.

These soldiers who have been stationed abroad all year round have many old injuries on their bodies after many years of non-stop fighting. In order to recuperate and recuperate, and to better devote themselves to the next position, Vice General Liang proposed to go home to recuperate at this time. It is also human nature.

It's just that Deputy General Liang seems to have disappeared.

He didn't even reply to the letter Lin Cheng wrote to him, and there was no news from Lin Ling.

The servants of the Lin family said that Deputy General Liang was going to recuperate, and he would not go out at home, and refused to see outsiders. For a long time, no one saw him.

Where is Lieutenant General Liang?

Thinking of this, Lin Cheng frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

Nansong is a guard, even though he is very skilled, but Nansong's status and knowledge, the information obtained is limited.

At this time, a family member happily came to pass the word, "Mr. Staff is back."

Lin Cheng let go of his thoughts and stood up abruptly, "Please."

As soon as the words were finished, a dusty figure with his head and face covered broke into the room.

"Sir." Lin Cheng saluted respectfully, "Thank you for your hard work this time."

Looking up, Mr. Staff covered his head with a scarf, and he could only see his eyes, but his eyes were bloodshot. First, he slept in the cold and had to work hard on the road. Second, the ten mu of land that the Prince of Xining wanted seemed a small amount. , Insignificant, no one expected to be so difficult.

Mr. Staff smiled and took off his scarf, "It's nothing, it's my honor to help you solve problems and worries."

Mr. Staff has been by Lin Cheng's side since the day Lin Cheng stepped into his official career. Lin Cheng knew that he was not flattering, but he was speaking the truth. Lin Cheng shook his head with a smile, and picked up the hot tea on the table. pass it on.

Mr. Staff was not as polite as his colleagues, he grabbed his teacup and drank it down.

"The matter has been settled, and the name of the Lin family in Shaanxi has not been named." The staff member sighed, "Who would have thought that the trivial matter of ten acres of land would take so long."

"It's not a trivial matter that Xining Hou Shizi wants." Lin Cheng said.

During this trip to Suzhou, Mr. Staff suffered a lot. Those aristocratic families at the foot of Huqiu Mountain, even after the change of dynasties, were still prosperous for hundreds of years.

Such a family is deeply rooted and flourishing. Some of them are officials in the court, and they are married to other famous families. The relationship is intricate. They are not afraid of the government. It can even be said that they are local snakes.

Naturally, there is a price to pay for getting something from a local snake.

After a cup of hot tea, the warm charcoal fire in the room stretched the eyebrows of the staff.

"With these ten acres of land this time, Xining Hou Shizi can let go of his knots, and more importantly, he can see the son's heart. For him, the son has gone through fire and water, regardless of anything."

Now the situation is not very good. Many of the clan’s fields and private properties have been taken back. Some old princes and old princes leaned on crutches and were supported by servants to kneel at the gate of the imperial city. Prosperity, forget about these founding heroes.

Kneeling at the gate of the imperial city for three days and three nights, the emperor refused to receive them at all. Later, these old masters fainted and were carried back by their family members on a stretcher. It is not known whether they were dead or alive.

In this way, the power of the clan was greatly reduced.

In the past, it was the cutting of Fan, but now it is cutting the sect. Today, the sage is born as the King of Fan. How terrible it is that the King of Fan has grown stronger.

Lin Cheng smiled, "The most important thing in the relationship between people is sincerity. I don't care if Xining Hou Shizi is sincere."

Because he didn't give his heart, this is a deal, maybe it will be used when necessary.

Mr. Staff nodded, did not speak, and did not mention this matter again. After the matter was settled, he let it go.

There were only the two of them in the room, the servant added charcoal to the fire and a pot of hot tea, then left without a sound, and the door was closed.

Mr. Staff looked at the pile of letters scattered on the desk. The letters were all opened and randomly placed on the table. Obviously, he had read them.

The staff member didn't complain, and started to pack up the letters, "My lord, it's time to add someone to your side."

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect him to mention this suddenly, "Why did you say this so politely, did your father write to you and say something?"

"No, no, your father will only send you a letter to urge you to go back." The Mr. Staff said with a smile, "I know you are the most annoying thing to talk about, but getting a wife and having children has always been a major event in life. It is a matter of time, and you can't escape it. of."

Lin Cheng ignored it, "Since it's a matter of time, it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later."

"My lord, you, you." The staff member looked at him, "I can tell you about other things, except for the matter of getting a wife."

A smile appeared on Lin Cheng's face, "This kind of thing can't be rushed."

Mr. Staff sighed in his heart, maybe he hasn't decided what kind of wife he wants to marry, and hasn't met the right person yet. Lin Cheng was born noble, and marriage is not that simple.

Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, having a powerful wife family is also a kind of help for Lin Cheng.

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Mr. Staff bowed his head and concentrated on sorting out the letters. He recognized the scribbled handwriting on some of the letters. They were letters from Nansong, and Mr. Staff picked them out on purpose.

"Have the letters been answered?"

Lin Cheng didn't answer whether he replied to the letter, but looked at the gentleman in front of him, "Vice General Liang is probably under house arrest."

Mr. Staff was startled, and his hands stopped.

"How could it be? Lieutenant General Liang is such a heroic person."

Lieutenant General Liang grew up beside Grandfather Lin. Grandpa Lin taught him how to read and write.

Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Mr. Staff put down the letter and stood up straight.

"At present, this is just my guess." Lin Cheng said, "Because Vice General Liang is missing."

The candlelight was beating, and silhouettes of people were reflected in the flower window. In the bright lights, the cold face of the young man was like an isolated island, looking isolated and helpless.

"I haven't received a letter from Vice General Liang for a long time, and I haven't even heard from my sister. Before, I wondered if something happened. This time Nansong went to the capital, which confirmed my thoughts. Nansong wrote that Vice General Liang will play En, please go home to recuperate, and then transfer to Liaodong."

"My lord, do you believe it?" Mr. Staff asked him.

Lin Cheng's brows sparkled, but his tone was firm, "I don't believe it."

"That makes sense." Mr. Staff suddenly laughed, "You don't even believe such a high-sounding reason."

Having said that, he paused, "Vice General Liang should really be under house arrest, it's not possible."
