Chapter 109 I Can Stay Here
Just as Lin Feng was frowning and thinking of a solution, Lin Qiaomei came over to complain.
"Brother, there are a few troublemakers who are not very obedient and are always making trouble. They don't make big mistakes, but they make small ones all the time."
"beat him."
"Beat them, but they are tough and thick-skinned, ah..."
Lin Feng looked at the petite Lin Qiaomei.
"Where did your murderous spirit go?"
"Those guys are quite charismatic, so don't be too extreme."
"Even if we have charisma, we can't keep it. The charisma must be ours."
Seeing that Lin Qiaomei was still hesitating, Lin Feng said patiently.
"In our army, loyalty comes first, followed by bravery. I don't need his wisdom, I just need him to follow orders unconditionally."
Lin Qiaomei nodded, not quite understanding.
"Do you need me to take charge for you?"
"You underestimate me, brother. Just wait, I'm going to hang their heads on the city wall."
"Remember, if you want them to obey, you can't just punish them. The best way is to use both kindness and severity."
"Yeah, I understand, brother."
Just as Lin Qiaomei was about to leave, Lin Feng stopped her.
"There's a way. You can plan to drain their physical strength and energy as much as possible, leaving them with no time to think about other things. Over time, they'll give up many of their ideas."
"Will this work?"
"Go ahead and try it."
Lin Qiaomei left, and Bai Jing looked at Lin Feng worriedly from the side.
"Brother, are you okay? I see you have white hair."
Lin Feng counted on his fingers for a long time.
"How old am I?"
"Well, I think I'm twenty-one."
Lin Feng shook his head and sighed.
"Oh, I'm really worried."
"It's so hard to live a good life in this world."
"I don't know when I can finally relax."
Bai Jing thought about it and was about to speak when Fan Jinsong suddenly reported from outside the door.
"General, someone wants to see you. Three people claim to be from the Jiang family."
"Jiang family?"
"It's the big house."
Bai Jing reminded.
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Let them come in and talk."
Not long after, Fan Jinsong brought in three people. The one walking in front was a middle-aged man with a respectful expression.
Behind the middle-aged man were two people wearing black cloaks.
The whole person was covered in a cloak and his face could not be seen clearly.
When the middle-aged man saw Lin Feng, he bowed and saluted.
"Butler of the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Wumian greets General Lin."
Lin Feng sat there without moving, just staring at the two people behind the man.
Bai Jing was behind him, holding the dagger at her waist tightly in her hand, looking at the three people vigilantly.
The middle-aged man slightly turned sideways and extended his hand.
"This is my eldest daughter, her maiden name is Jiang Haiyun."
Jiang Haiyun reached out and lifted the hood covering his head, revealing his face.
The lights in the room dimmed instantly, and a figure with picturesque features made the room lose its luster.
Jiang Haiyun lowered his body and said softly, "Haiyun greets General Lin."
Lin Feng nodded and looked at the other man in the cloak.
Jiang Wumian quickly said, "This is Miss Liu Shuxue."
The man lifted his hood and smiled at Lin Feng.
Even Lin Feng, who was used to seeing beautiful women like Cui Ying, was still stunned.
Liu Shuxue is so beautiful, with a clear face that can show both joy and anger. Unlike Jiang Haiyun's purity, she also has a hint of charm.
It has that kind of bookish temperament mixed with a touch of cuteness.
Bai Jing poked Lin Feng in the back with her hand from behind.
Lin Feng's stunned state was not entirely due to his attraction to Liu Shuxue's beauty. He also remembered that this person was the woman who sat in the first seat during the blind date at Mu Bentian's house that day.
Lin Feng laughed: "Please sit down and have some tea."
Bai Jing lowered her head and rolled her eyes, then went to make tea reluctantly.
"I wonder what brings you here?"
Jiang Haiyun half lowered his head and spoke softly.
"Grandfather is ill, so he sent me to deliver a message to General Lin."
"Oh, you say."
Jiang Haiyun took out an envelope from his body. Jiang Wumian quickly took it, turned around and handed it to Lin Feng with both hands.
Lin Feng took it casually and took a look at the words on the cover.
Letter from General Lin himself.
"Who wrote this to me?"
"It was written by my father himself."
"Your father is..."
"General Lin will know it at a glance."
Lin Feng opened the envelope, took out the letter inside and unfolded it.
After a while, Lin Feng handed the letter back to Bai Jing, who took it.
This letter was written by Jiang Haiyun's father, Jiang Yun, to Lin Feng.
Jiang Yun is a fourth-rank official of the Dazong Dynasty and is currently serving as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. In his letter to Lin Feng, he expressed his hope that his family would be treated leniently and that if there were any problems in the court in the future, they could blame him.
When Jiang Wumian saw that Lin Feng had finished reading the letter, he immediately took out another envelope and handed it forward with both hands.
"General Lin, this is a letter from Mr. Lin Tonglin to you."
"Oh, he writes to me too?"
Lin Feng took the envelope doubtfully, opened it, took a look, then folded it and put it in his arms.
Bai Jing was about to reach out to take it, but it was empty.
After reading the two letters, Lin Feng turned around and asked Liu Shuxue with a smile.
"I wonder if Miss Liu has any letter for me?"
Liu Shuxue smiled slightly: "My family is here, why should I write a letter? I just want to meet General Lin and ask a question."
"Okay, tell me about it."
"General Lin, do you still remember that couplet? The sound of horse hooves beside the clear water..."
"Haha, I do remember."
"I met General Lin today. You read the letter at a glance. If you hadn't been well-versed in poetry and literature, you wouldn't be so familiar with words."
Lin Feng remained silent.
"So, I judge that the phrase 'pigs howl and kidneys smell' was General Lin teasing us, right?"
"Miss Liu, you didn't come here just for this, did you?"
Liu Shuxue pondered for a moment.
"My aunt Liu Yinfei, married to Mu Bendi as a concubine, is currently suffering in a death row. As your niece, I cannot bear this pain and would like to ask General Lin for mercy on her behalf."
Lin Feng nodded and turned to look at Jiang Haiyun.
"Are you here for this too?"
Jiang Haiyun said aggrievedly, "The Jiang family's wealth has been divided up completely, and Grandpa has accepted it. I think it's a contribution to General Lin's new policy. However, Mu Bentian's daughter, Mu Wan'er, is my close friend. I don't know..."
"Haha, neither of you came for yourselves. One came for your aunt, and the other for your best friend."
Lin Feng paused and said, "Do you know what crime Mu Bentian committed?"
Both of them nodded silently.
"Surrendering to the enemy and committing treason is a crime punishable by extermination of the entire family. How do you want me to deal with it?"
Jiang Haiyun was not good at speaking, so he could only open his bright and pure dark eyes and look at Lin Feng innocently.
Liu Shuxue sighed, "General Lin, I don't understand what crime or law this is. I just hope that General Lin can show some kindness outside the law. I will be grateful, but I will do my best to help you."
Jiang Haiyun also nodded vigorously.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment. The two women in front of him, one of them had a father who was an official in the court, and the other one looked like she was not a simple woman either.
However, in front of so many people, it was difficult for me to agree without saying a word.
"Well, let me think about it. How about you go back and wait for news?"
Jiang Haiyun quickly stood up and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, General Lin."
After saying that, he gestured to Jiang Wumian to lead the way.
Liu Shuxue sat there without moving, staring at Lin Feng with her clear eyes.
Jiang Wumian took Jiang Haiyun out of the house, turned around and found that Liu Shuxue did not follow them out, so he stopped and looked at her in confusion.
Liu Shuxue then slowly stood up and took two steps forward.
"General Lin, if necessary, I can stay here."
Bai Jing immediately widened her eyes and waited nervously for Lin Feng's answer.
