Chapter Eleven: Father and Daughter Meet (6)
Chapter 11 Father and Daughter Meeting (Sixth)
Before letting Lan Rongrong and his son meet Lan Lin, Zhu Yinglong first had to meet Lan Lin. He wanted to see what Lan Lin would look like after he died once, and he also had some questions to get answers from him.
But just before Zhu Yinglong was about to see Lan Lin, a sudden light flashed in his mind, and a wonderful idea came into his mind.
He called Ma Jie casually and whispered and ordered a few words in his ear. Ma Jie nodded repeatedly, and his face continued to show an increasingly surprised smile.
"Your Ma, what are you talking about with Lord Ma?" Magu and Li Yao walked over curiously.
Unfortunately, their curiosity was not satisfied, and Zhu Yinglong had finished explaining the matter.
Time is tight, so Ma Jie quickly went down and prepared as Zhu Yinglong ordered.
Facing the two women's questioning eyes, Zhu Yinglong kept a secret and smiled mysteriously: "Don't be impatient. I will invite you to see a good show later. But one thing is, don't say anything, otherwise don't blame me for punishing you!"
"No, I'm sorry, I must remember the emperor's instructions, please don't worry." Both women's eyes lit up. Although they couldn't guess what kind of play Zhu Yinglong wanted to invite them to see, they intuition felt that it would be very exciting!
After six hours, the medicine was very effective. Lan Lin finally woke up quietly and slowly opened his eyes. When he got up, he found himself in a real and illusory space, surrounded by white smoke, and from time to time, gusts of cold wind seemed to pass through his body. His teeth were so cold that he trembled tightly. He leaned down and looked at the gray and dirty jacket, but he had long disappeared, replaced by a white cotton gauze dress.
Where am I? Am I dead? Isn’t this the underworld? Lan Lin murmured to himself.
"Lan Lin, you have already returned to the underworld. Come quickly to see Your Majesty Yan with me!" Suddenly, two white smoke rose slowly in front of Lan Lin, and two sounds like dragon bells buzzed, which made Lan Lin's eardrums ring.
The white smoke gradually dissipated, and two long blood-red tongues appeared in front of Lan Lin's eyes, followed by two pale faces, one black and one white, holding a mourning stick in his hand and a tall hat on his head.
Black and white impermanence!
Lan Lin was so shocked that he retreated backwards, but before he could fall back, a thick iron chain suddenly swung towards his neck, followed by two figures, black and white, and Lan Lin found that he was completely locked by the iron chain.
However, Lan Lin thought that he had died and had arrived at the underworld. He did not have many thoughts, and even his thinking became much slower.
"If you don't leave quickly, the King of Hell wants you to die at the third hour, how can you let you live in the morning?" Lan Lin staggered and slowly set off on the road after being pushed by Hei Wuchang.
The road to the underworld is long and has almost no end. Lan Lin was urged by Hei and Bai for free, and was so confused that he didn't know how long he had walked.
Suddenly, a stone bridge appeared in front of him, with clouds and mist on the bridge, and the other side of the bridge seemed to be lined up with a pair of ghosts wearing the same white clothes and disheveled hair. They seemed to be like victims waiting for porridge. What they were waiting for was an old woman with a head full of prints to serve a bowl of yellow soup from a large jar of unknown depth. After drinking it, she would become dull and then be pushed down the river by two ghost messengers. Under the three or two waves, there was no trace of people, as if the river water was bottomless, and then it was calm.
"This is not Naihe Bridge, right?" Lan Lin said to himself tremblingly. He was no longer the ambitious and ambitious leader of the Holy Sect. All he had was speechless fear and panic. Because he died, he was already a ghost. After seeing the King of Hell, would he drink Mengpo soup like these ghosts and then be reincarnated as a human being? But he knew that he had done countless bad things in his previous life, and he didn't know if he would go to the eighteen levels of hell!
Thinking of this, the sweat beads on Lan Lin's forehead kept rolling down, but he had no time to consider the issue of ghosts sweating too!
Walking through the Huangquan Land and passing through the Naihe Bridge, Hei and Bai rushed Lan Lin to a tall and strict city without any compensation.
"Who is here?"
"According to the order of Lord Yan, go to the world to escort the newly-dead soul Lan Lin to see Lord Yan!"
Through the inspection of the two ghost messengers, Hei Bai escorted Lan Lin to Fengdu Ghost City for free.
"Are they two brothers of Wuchang?" Entering the ghost town, two ghosts came towards him, one was bull's head and the other was horse's face.
"Brother Niutou, Brother Mama, I'll work on some trivial matters, which really touched me." Hei Bai Wuchang said withdrew.
"Hey, brothers, Hei and White, the new soul you captured is very important to Yan Jun, so I specially ordered my brother to come and escort him to Senluo Palace!" Niu Tou said in a muffled voice.
"In this way, I'll have two brothers." Hei Bai Wuchang bowed together, and Bai Yan suddenly felt like he was gone and disappeared in front of him.
"Lan Lin, you have committed a sin of unforgivableness. Why don't you go to Senluo Palace with my brother to wait for the fall of Yan Jun!" Ma Ming shouted coldly.
Before Lan Lin could figure out the situation, she was dragged forward by the bullhead and horse face, and she was twisting around and making Lan Lin dizzy, and then she came to a magnificent palace.
The dark palace gate was wide open, and it was gloomy and dark inside. From time to time, gusts of gloomy wind blew, making the blue storm tremble.
Until now, Lan Lin has not said a word. It’s not that he doesn’t want to say it, but that he doesn’t dare to say it.
Canopy...
Eighteen fires suddenly emerged from the dark hall, which were eighteen blue flames. This was the Nether Fire that only existed in the underworld.
A figure wearing a black golden dragon robe and a crown appeared in the middle of the hall. He was eight feet tall, with wide arms and round waists. Unfortunately, he was facing Lan Lin and the face of a bull head.
"Who is Your Highness?" A cold shout came out. The owner of the voice seemed to be a middle-aged man wearing a purple robe and silver-lined official uniform standing on the left side of Yan Jun. He saw the man's beautiful beard fluttering under his jaw, his face was cold and his expression was arrogant.
"Your Majesty, I'll bring you the soul Lan Lin!" Niu Tou and Horse Face immediately bowed and reported respectfully.
"Kneel down!" Niu Tou and Ma Wei saw that Lan Lin was still standing foolishly, and immediately kicked Lan Lin's leg at the same time.
"Oh!" the blue collar screamed in pain, and knelt on the hard stone brick with a thud.
"Lan Lin, I know you in Yuezhou. I am fifty years old. My wife, Hua, has a daughter..." The judge didn't look at Lan Lin, but picked up a book and read Lan Lin's life experience loudly!
"Lan Lin!" One by one, almost all of Lan Lin's secrets were hidden in the book and silk in the judge's hand. Lan Lin, who was kneeling below, was sweating profusely. He had never calculated that he had done so many things that were harmful to the world. In order to achieve his own goals, the names of people who died in his hands actually exceeded thousands!
"The grass is here!" Lan Lin felt extremely frightened. He committed such a great sin, let alone the dream of being reincarnated as an emperor, I am afraid that he will go to the eighteen levels of hell and will never be reborn!
"Do you recognize all these?" The judge asked coldly after reading Lan Lin's life and the crimes he committed.
"Recognize, recognize, the people know that the sins are serious. I hope the judge can be a little bit open and be gentle!" Lan Lin's heart was already filled with fear, let alone what he could do in front of the gods, and be a hero who knows the times.
"Okay, I will ask you next, and you will answer truthfully. If you have any deception, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Mr. Judge, I'll tell you all the words of the people." Lan Lin kept kowtowing.
Zhu Yinglong, who was hiding behind a black stone screen, looked at Lan Lin's weak appearance, sighed in his heart. It turned out that an arrogant and ambitious person would become so dull and fragile in front of the fictional god.
Originally, I thought Lan Lin would argue, at least he would be unwilling to fail even if he died. Unexpectedly, he admitted everything, and even doubted whether Lan Lin had discovered that this was a game and deliberately made it for him to see it. But after observing it all the way, he did not find any signs of acting.
"Lan Lin, do you have an adopted daughter, just like 'Lan Rong'?"
"Report to the judge, yes, but she finally betrayed Caomin and became the woman who is the worst enemy of Caomin."
"Your adopted daughter is kind by nature, but you have already cultivated her into a killer. This is a sin. Also, she has the fate of being rich and noble. The honor of the imperial concubine is not something you, a mortal, can slander it?" the judge shouted coldly.
"The people who are in charge of the crime will be punished, and the judge will be kind to you!"
"Forget it, I asked you, what is your adopted daughter's original surname? Who are their parents?" asked the judge.
"Don't the judge know?" Lan Lin asked back with a hint of suspicion.
"How can I not know about this judge? But the judge must know clearly whether you have the intention to repent. You must know that if you do not answer truthfully or have no intention to repent, the judge can be sentenced to a severe sentence." The judge snorted coldly and said angrily.
"Caomin dares not. Caomin's adopted daughter was originally named 'Lin', a person from Yingtian Mansion..." Lan Lin had preconceived ideas, and thought he was dead, and he could not tolerate too much suspicion in front of the gods, so he immediately came out of everything that happened back then.
The matter is somewhat different from what Lan Lin said to Zhu Yinglong. Lan Lin did not steal Lan Rong away at night, but instead wiped Lan Rong's biological parents out of the family. However, Lan Rong was still in her infancy at that time, and she didn't know that her adoptive father, who had been raising her for twenty years, was actually her biggest enemy. Lan Lin's crimes were simply outrageous. For her ambitions and desires, she would kill the lives of innocent people. If such a person gained the world and controlled the court, the harm would be a hundred times more than that of the eunuch party. Unfortunately, Lan Rong could not come here in time and could not hear Lan Lin tell her personal story.
"This Lan Lin deserves to be killed. It's fine to steal the child, why should he harm people's lives?" Magu and Li Yao's two girls both had red eyes and cursed indignation.
Zhu Yinglong had already made a secret decision. Even if Lan Lin wanted to repent, he could not stay in the world. He was not a Buddha, so he could not do the task of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately. If such a person cannot be severely punished, is there still justice at this time?
Everything went smoothly next time. The judge asked and Lan Lin answered, not daring to hide anything at all. Wuwei taught many secrets, including some bandits and treasure-hiding places that Lan Lin secretly supported.
The Lan family has been working hard for more than two hundred years and its wealth is quite considerable, including pawn shops, ticket numbers, rice shops, silk and satin shops, etc. As long as it is a profitable industry, the Lan family seems to have been involved. It has a small fortune of tens of millions in pieces. This is a rough estimate, not counting those treasures and antiques.
It is easy to deal with gold and silver, so it is just to be handed over to the treasury, but these shops and businesses are in trouble. Some industries that the court is also operating are easy to deal with, so it is directly assigned to the court. Anyway, the court has established the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and all the industries and operations of the court are taken over by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, but there are still many left. Magu's opinion is to transfer it to the inner palace. Zhu Yinglong thought about it and finally allocated this batch of industries to Shadow and Eagle Guard, two organizations each in charge.
Moreover, the Tian sisters faded out of the shadow until they finally completely escaped from the shadow. In this way, the inner government only cared about the royal operation and was completely decoupled from the imperial intelligence agencies.
Because the military reform is imminent, the intelligence agencies will naturally be reorganized, so the inner government has already mixed in at an out-of-time basis, so it is inevitable to withdraw, but intelligence can still be shared, of course, it can only be commercial.
When the judge was about to pronounce Lan Lin, the light suddenly lit up in the hall. When the dazzling light shot directly on Lan Lin, Lan Lin was stunned. He saw something that he would never imagine in his life. The bull head and horse face turned into the Hai brothers, the judge turned into Ma Jie, and the Yan Jun who had always turned his back to Lan Lin was actually the eunuch Xu Yingyuan beside Zhu Yinglong!
"You, you..." Lan Lin was probably seriously stimulated and pointed at Zhu Yinglong and others who appeared in the hall and couldn't speak.
"Lan Lin, how about it? How does it feel to die once?" Zhu Yinglong asked with a sneer.
"I, I'm not dead, that medicine, medicine?" Lan Lin finally understood that this was a chain of traps. He was guilty of being arrogant. He had never been able to plot against others, and no one had ever plotted against him. Now, he was really plotted against others and lost nothing.
"Lan Lin, you didn't expect that, in order to make you believe that you are dead, I have removed the iron locks on your collarbone, and used anesthetics. Now do you feel a little pain there? That's the anesthetics have passed?" Zhu Yinglong laughed. In order not to give Lan Lin a slight discovery of everything, he racked his brains and thought about the details that can be noticed and flaws that can make Lan Lin discover and arouse his suspicion. Then, using the natural gloomy place of the First Prison, a place where he was naturally gloomy and cold, he created a palace of Yama on earth, and finally deceived Lan Lin and revealed the truth.
Although there are many variables in the middle, Zhu Yinglong succeeded in the end.
"Zhu Youjian, I, Lan Lin, am extremely smart. I didn't expect that you would be so cunning, trick me into your trap, willingly telling all the secrets, and I was convinced!" Lan Lin is indeed a hero. Although his ugly and weak form just now fell into the eyes of everyone, no one said that if he really performed better than Lan Lin in front of the gods!
"Although you have died once, the crimes you committed are enough for you to die a hundred times or a thousand times, so I will sentence you to death with one stroke. You can be convinced!" Zhu Yinglong said in a deep voice.
"I'm already in my twilight years, what's the difference between dying early and late!" Lan Lin said with a miserable smile.
"What wish do you have before the temporary period?" Zhu Yinglong said slowly, "Although you have committed many crimes, you can be considered a hero."
"I want to meet Rongrong, I know she is in your hands!" Lan Lin's eyes cleared and he looked at Zhu Yinglong calmly and said.
"Okay, I will fulfill you!" Zhu Yinglong nodded and ordered someone to bring Lan Rongrong and his son in.
"Rongrong!" When Lan Lin saw Lan Rongrong, he shed tears of excitement. For more than 20 years, he could only look at his biological daughter from a distance, and dared not go to recognize each other for the sake of great cause. Now that his ambition is shattered, he is in prison, and he has no more worries.
"Dad." Lan Rongrong was not excited in the image. Instead, she was extremely calm, calm and unusual.
"Come on, Rui'er has seen your grandfather." Lan Rongrong pulled her son and brought it to Lan Lin and said.
"Grandpa." Rui'er called her whole life with a crisp call.
"Dad, his name is Lan Rui, he is a descendant of my Lan family!" Lan Rongrong said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yinglong, Ma Gu and others suddenly changed their faces. He did not expect Lan Rongrong to say that.
"Okay, good boy, Lan Rui, my Lan family finally has a back!" Lan Lin smiled to the sky, but his smile sounded a little like crying.
"Rongrong, good grandson, my dad is afraid that time will be short. You must live well, no matter how difficult it is, do you know?" Lan Lin seemed to be explaining his last words.
"Daughter knows that since the emperor is willing to let his daughter come to see you, he already knows that you can't escape death. Don't worry, my daughter will raise Rui'er and let the Lan family's incense be passed on!" Lan Rongrong said firmly.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Lan Lin said three good words in a row, then bit his tongue suddenly, and a wisp of blood left along the corner of his mouth.
No one expected that Lan Lin would choose to bite his tongue and commit suicide at this time. It seemed that he did not want to die under the court's decapitated knife!
"Your Majesty, Sister Lan Rong is here!" Magu said in Zhu Yinglong's ear in a low voice.
Looking at Lan Rong turned her face and saw that when she came in, it was the moment when Lan Lin bit her tongue and committed suicide. Her surprised eyes and pale face seemed to have instantly become a permanent pain in Zhu Yinglong's heart!
Lan Lin, you don’t even let yourself die!
The anger in Zhu Yinglong's chest reached its peak, but it was impossible to get into trouble at this time!
"Entertainment Father!" A miserable cry!
"Rong'er comes here, he is not your adoptive father, he is the murderer who killed your biological parents' family!" Zhu Yinglong really couldn't bear to see Lan Lin plotting against him before he died, and he didn't want to see Lan Rong shed a tear for Lan Lin's death.
"What?" Lan Rong looked shocked.
"The emperor said it is right. Lan Lin killed your biological parents' family in order to rob you, but your surname is Lin." Magu stepped forward and pulled Lan (Lin) Rong aside and explained.
"Why is this happening?" Lin Rong couldn't accept this fact all of a sudden. With physical reasons, she was nervous and stimulating after continuous stimulation. Fortunately, Magu and Li Yao were quick-eyed and quick-handed, and helped Lin Rong down to rest.
