I am a judge in the Tang Dynasty - #94 - Chapter 94
“The lower official Song Yan has met the Marquis of Yin and Yang!”
When Lin Xiu and the others came to the city gate, the magistrate of Qingshui County quickly stepped forward and bowed to salute.
Lin Xiu nodded and said with a smile,”Master Song, are you the current magistrate of Qingshui County?”
“Returning to the Marquis, I just came here to take office a month ago! Song Yan said.
Lin Xiu smiled:”Master Song is now the magistrate of Qingshui County. He must focus on the people of the county. As a local official, he should also do more for the people. Don’t do it.” That’s the old path of my predecessor!”
Although these words were spoken by Lin Xiu with a smile, when they fell into Song Yan’s ears, they made him shudder.
Previously, when Lin Xiu was still in Qingshui, he had dated Yin Dafu. Case.
Not only did the old case come to a clear end, but it was said that the ghosts of the victims who had been dead for many years were also brought to testify.
This matter was once widely known in Qingshui County.
As the newly appointed county magistrate, how could Song Yan not know about this?
Lin Xiu’s words just now clearly had something in them, telling him not to be like the previous magistrate, otherwise the consequences would be the same. end
“What the Marquis said is true, how dare a subordinate do something that is harmful to nature and justice!”Song Yan said while sweating coldly, bowing and saluting quickly.
Lin Xiu smiled and didn’t say anything more.
He rode his horse straight into the city gate and walked in.
When he came to the street , I saw a lot of people standing on both sides of the street.
Some were unfamiliar faces, and some were very familiar.
Some of them were former neighbors when Lin Xiu’s parents had just passed away. Lin Rongrong, who had helped her family
, also poked her head out from the carriage and couldn’t help but greet the old neighbors when she saw them.
“Lord Lin, it’s really Lord Lin!”
“He came out of our Qingshui County, but he didn’t expect to become a Marquis now!”
“When I was a child, I watched him grow up. Tsk, tsk, tsk, how happy I would be if Lao Lin was still alive!”
“Hehe, Lin Xiu was my former playmate. We both wore a pair of pants when we were young. Now that he has become a high official, he will definitely let us people borrow his money too.……”
Along the way, people were talking about everything.
Some Lin Xiu heard it, and some didn’t.
However, with his current status, it is really difficult for him to get off his horse and speak.
If Zhao Sheng and Li Si hadn’t been there to stop him, it’s impossible for these people to surround Lin Xiu.
Soon, when Lin Xiu and the others came to the house where they once lived.
Looking at the dilapidated doors and windows, the roof with missing bricks and tiles, and the withered grass that was half a man tall…
Lin Xiu couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
He turned over and dismounted, pushed open the door, and felt a musty smell.
It was still as dim as ever, with streaks of light coming into the small space.
Countless dust is flying in all directions, as if dancing.
My sister, Zhong Li, and Princess Changle also passed by from behind, and no one spoke a word.
I’m afraid no one has ever thought that Feng’s dignified Marquis Yin and Yang once lived here.……
“Mr. Hou, your subordinate has already prepared a room in the hotel, and even ordered a table of meals at the best restaurant in the county. Why don’t you, Mr. Hou, move on?……”
Song Yan, the magistrate of Qingshui County, quickly stepped forward to speak.
Lin Xiu shook his head:”No need, we are just passing by in a hurry when we come back this time. We have to pay homage to our parents later, so I won’t bother Mr. Song!””
“this……”
Song Yan was startled and looked a little embarrassed.
“Brother, let’s go worship our parents? Lin Rongrong said quickly.
Lin Xiu nodded with a smile, turned around and walked out of the house.
After ordering Zhao Sheng to lock the door, he rode his horse again and headed all the way to the ancestral graves outside the city.
Lin Xiu’s home He has lived in Qingshui County for generations and has never left this place.
After his death, his ancestors were buried here.
This is not only the ancestral grave of Lin Xiu, but also his parents. The previous generations were all here.
After a while, when Lin Xiu and the others arrived at the Lin family’s ancestral grave, they saw that the place seemed to be deserted. Xiu was startled. He and his sister came to pay homage to their parents.
Why did it turn out like this in just one year?
Not only Lin Xiu
, but even his sister seemed to be shocked.
A little surprised, but without thinking too much, the two brothers walked towards it.
Zhao Sheng, Zhong Kui, and Li Si wanted to help, but Lin Xiu stopped them.
After all, this was a matter of their own family. It’s better to do it yourself.
The people in Qingshui County who came all the way felt very emotional when they saw Lin Xiu and his sister weeding the grass themselves.
“This kid Lin Xiu is really filial!”
“Who said otherwise? Now that I have become such a big official, I can still come back to worship my parents. It is really not easy!”
“Alas, it would have been better if our daughter had been married to Lin Xiuke!”
“He would say such nonsense. If anyone knew that this would happen, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be your family’s turn.……”
All these people were talking about it.
Most of them were extremely envious of Lin Xiu and the Lin family.
However, just when Lin Xiu was weeding.
Suddenly, he saw several extra pieces of gravel beside his parents’ grave.
Lin Xiu was slightly startled, seeing that these stones were all new.
It’s not like it is here all year round.
When did it come out? I checked carefully and found that there was another small hole on my mother’s grave.
If Lin Xiu hadn’t come close because of weeding.
It’s really hard to find
“Brother, what’s wrong with you? Lin Rongrong seemed to see something was wrong and asked quickly.
Lin Xiu smiled and shook his head:”It’s nothing, I just miss my parents a little!””
Hearing this, my sister’s eyes turned red and she almost shed tears.
After they finished weeding, the sky was almost darkening.
They quickly took out all the incense candles and tributes they brought and placed them.
Lin Xiu and his sister
After everything was done, Lin Xiu turned around and headed towards the county town.
However, just as they turned around, Lin Xiu suddenly looked back.
When he went there, a terrifying light flashed in his eyes.
He saw that the candles he had just lit were suddenly blown out, and the sticks of incense he and his sister had burned were broken in the middle.
Such a scene made Lin feel uncomfortable. Xiu frowned slightly and did not say anything out loud, but said coldly in his heart:”Where did this evil spirit come from to bully my parents?”
