Chapter 39 The humble adopted daughter
A large group of people poured into the Lin family cemetery. Such a big movement naturally alarmed the Lin family members.

The Lin family is a well-known merchant clan in Zhongdu. The current patriarch is Lin Guangling, the eldest son of the direct lineage. Even the three brothers, the eldest and the eldest, have to respect Lin Guangling as their cousin.

He is also the president of Zhongdu Chamber of Commerce!It can be said that Zai Zhong is extremely powerful.

However, unfortunately, this magistrate Xie was a bit dirty with Lin Guangling. This was one of the reasons why Lin Susu chose to file a complaint. Anyone else would have succumbed to Lin Guangling's power.

In the center of a crowd of people watching, Magistrate Xie directed the government officials to start digging the grave.

Lin Guangling hurried over with a group of servants and said angrily, "Stop!"

The servants were obviously well-prepared. They all came with sticks that were ten feet high. They pushed aside the government servants with ferocious looks and blocked the tomb in an aggressive manner.

"Prefect Xie, what do you mean by this?! This second nephew of mine has offended your lord? That's why you let your lord take revenge like this?"

Lin Guangling smiled softly and cupped his hands perfunctorily.

Magistrate Xie was happy to have trouble with him, so he didn't care and pointed at Lin Susu.

"President Lin misunderstood. This Miss Lin beat the drum, rolled across the bed of nails, and asked me to make the decision! I also act according to the law! How can I say revenge?"

At this time, the matter of Lin Susu suing the official had already become a hot topic and everyone knew about it.

Therefore, Lin Guangling just glanced at her indifferently and questioned Magistrate Xie with a cold face.

"She is just a humble adopted daughter. How qualified is she to make such a decision? Is it possible that Magistrate Xie is an old fool?"

Lin Guangling sarcastically turned to Lin Susu and said, "Shameless bitch! When I get back, I will cut you off from the family tree! You can go back and forth wherever you want!"

Old God Lin Susu ignored him and turned around and said to Magistrate Xie casually, "Daughter of the people, remember, the laws of the Zhou Dynasty say that anyone who is suspected of a murderous crime should avoid suspicion!"

"It's true, what does Miss Lin mean?" Magistrate Xie answered the question in a dignified manner.

Lin Guangling's eyes widened to the extreme, and he looked at Lin Susu in disbelief.

Lin Susu turned to herself and said, "Of course I suspect that the death of my parents is related to the entire Lin family!"

"You are talking nonsense! How can the Lin family treat you so harshly? It makes you spit so bloody!"

Lin Guangling was so angry that his beard trembled.

Lin Susu remained expressionless and continued to speak.

"The father of a common man's daughter has always had extraordinary wisdom in the business world. He has grown from a white body to a wealthy family today, and the hardships involved cannot be explained by outsiders."

"Although the Lin family is famous for its business, the father of a common girl has never been under the shadow of the family since he came of age. Instead, he has been made things difficult for his family because of his father's childlessness."

"The whole reason is that my father was born as a commoner and was not taken seriously. He was injured when he was young and was not treated, which destroyed the foundation."

"Although a commoner's daughter is not destined to be part of the blood of her parents, she has received the grace of 16 years of upbringing. The lamb is still kneeling at its breasts. When a commoner's daughter hears that there is a secret behind the death of her parents, how can she not be heartbroken and heartbroken!"

Lin Susu's eyes were red, but her back was still straight, neither humble nor overbearing.

Doesn’t Lin Guangling claim to have a clear conscience?Do you think that since her father has passed away and there is no evidence of his death, no one knows what the Lin family did?
Unfortunately, when she was young, Father Lin thought she was just an ignorant child and often lamented her hardships in her childhood, so he tried to make up for her.

She didn't understand it at the time, but now that she had awakened her past life memories, she could see Father Lin's words as clearly as if she had seen them yesterday.The tone of the words was plain, but the poignancy of the words made many children of concubines present feel the same.

The common people were even more embarrassed. Sure enough, the bigger the family, the more evil it was.

Then I saw Lin Susu, covered in blood, standing quietly next to the tombstone. The mourning flags that had been standing beside the cemetery a month ago were blown by the wind like a weeping willow tail, adding to the desolation.

Most of the people watching were focused on Lin Susu. After all, Lin Guangling had a large number of people, and most people in the world hated the rich and sympathized with the weak. Gradually, some people began to speak out.

"If there is nothing fishy, ​​how can you be afraid of opening the coffin in public?"

"Yes!"

"that is!"

The crowd was noisy and indignant, like boiling oil splashing water.

Seeing that the situation was not good for him, Lin Guangling looked around and roared, "Opening the coffin to disturb the spirits is out of order and inappropriate! I am the leader of the Lin clan! How can I become a person with ulterior motives if I block you?" !”

The crowd was just a bunch of people, but after hearing this, they felt that what Lin Guangling said was reasonable, and unconsciously stopped their criticism.

Lin Guangling flicked his sleeves, glanced at Lin Susu with a sinister look, and sneered.

"You talk nonsense bitch! You despise your elders, rebel against your ancestors, and actually try to stir up trouble and bring trouble to the Lin family! From today on, you are no longer a member of my Lin family, and you have no qualifications to use Lin Yuan's As Xiu’s daughter, she committed an act of disobedience!”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd of onlookers took a breath. Extermination of the clan was the heaviest punishment in the eyes of ancient people, especially for women!

Zhu Yan was sitting in the carriage, staring deeply at Lin Susu's back through the thin and translucent curtain.

Magistrate Xie shook his head almost invisibly, I am afraid that the coffin will not be opened today!
Lin Susu's face was expressionless and she walked slowly towards Lin Guangling. Although she said nothing, her aura was so overwhelming that Lin Guangling couldn't help but take a step back.

She used her blood-stained hands to brush away the hair that had been blown by the wind, her pretty and innocent face showing unquestionable determination.

"Since the daughter of the people is not a daughter of the Lin family, she is not qualified to plead grievances for her parents as a child... Then, as a witness to the murder, the daughter of the people sued the entire Lin clan, poisoned the Lins and his wife, and sought wealth and death. !”

The anger and shock in Lin Guangling's eyes almost overflowed. He panted heavily and pointed at Lin Susu while trembling, with a sinister look in his eyes, wanting to rush over and cut her into pieces.

The corners of Lin Susu's lips raised, her eyebrows raised provocatively, and her voice was erratic and soft.

"President Lin should think carefully about how to remove suspicion!"

The middle-aged man next to Lin Guangling took a step forward and sneered.

"Hmph! I, the Lin family, have been in business for generations and are as rich as any country. Why should I covet Lin Yuanxiu's small fortune? I just want to slander the Lin family with empty words! You should provide evidence!"

Lin Susu's face did not change, her expression was calm, she turned around and saluted Magistrate Xie, "Sir, Mr. and Mrs. Lin died of poisoning, and their bones are the evidence! The daughter of the people is willing to guarantee with her life! If the coffin is opened, what will happen to the women of the people? If you tell lies, I am willing to kill myself to apologize!"

Magistrate Xie turned his attention from Lin Susu to Lin Guangling's group of people, and said with a half-smile, "There are people who are willing to risk their lives to accuse the Lin clan of murder. Does President Lin have anything to say?"

When Magistrate Xie took office as a new official, he was manipulated by the local snake Lin Guangling, who actually expected him to bend his head and follow Lin Guangling's lead.

He has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. He has read thousands of volumes of famous works and is full of nylon. He has won laurels in the Toad Palace and is proud of himself. How can he be allowed to be humiliated by Lin Guangling!
Now Magistrate Xie has been entrenched in Zhongdu for many years and has deep influence. His only major concern is the Lin Chamber of Commerce. How could he easily let go of this good opportunity?
