The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 317 Snake hits 7 inches

In fact, Zhong Jingchen has always been decisive in doing things over the years, especially after marrying the Princess of Qingyang County, he has become even more resolute and vigorous, and has achieved success in both career and love. Today is the first time that he feels frustrated.

But there is no way, because such a troublesome younger brother suddenly appeared in the second house.

He could only speak softly again, "Brother Siming, what you said is true. To be honest, this person is a member of the Zhong family. As the elder brother, I also have a responsibility. Brother Siming, how about this? I will take the person back first, and then report to my father. I will definitely punish him severely, and then I will come to apologize! I will definitely give Brother Siming a satisfactory explanation."

Unexpectedly, Bai Lin looked surprised when he heard this, and waved his hand at Zhong Jingchen, saying kindly:

"Hey, Brother Jingchen, you really put it too seriously! My teacher has been so worried about the taxation issue in Jiangnan that he can't sleep at night. As a student, I am wrong for not being able to help him share his worries. If I disturb him for such a small matter, wouldn't it be a mistake on top of a mistake? Besides, it may not be easy for my teacher to discipline other people's children."

Zhong Jingchen was confused for a moment. Didn't you say that we can't just let it go like this, otherwise it would seem like you're not doing anything? How did it become a trivial matter again?

He probed: "Then, what Brother Yi Siming means is..."

Bai Lin laughed heartily: "Haha, Brother Jingchen, if it was someone else, I would not let it go, but since he is from the Zhong family, I cannot be unreasonable.

It's like this. I heard that Lord Zhong recently intends to adjust the distribution of salt permits this year. I am also preparing a related memorial to present to His Majesty. But Brother Jingchen, you also know that I am young and not steady enough in doing things, so I need Lord Zhong to give me more time.

This is just right. He is currently free and he is also the head of the Zhong family. It is legitimate for him to discipline his children. He does not need to punish them severely. He only needs to reprimand them in front of everyone. If it gets out, others will think that I, Bai Lin, helped my sister to vent her anger."

Zhong Jingchen sucked in a breath of cold air, his temples throbbing, he felt like he was not feeling well!

Bai Lin really hit the snake at its most vulnerable part!

His meaning was very clear. This matter could not be left to his father to settle privately, but had to be handled publicly by his grandfather!

You know, if the father comes forward and imposes severe punishment or makes apology, outsiders will not know the whole story, so it will not harm the reputation of the Zhong family.

but!

As long as Lord Zhong came forward, even if he just gave a few words of reprimand, the whole family would take it as a warning. It would not only be a private matter of a certain branch or room. Even if Bai Lin did not spread it, countless family members would talk about it.

What's more, Lord Zhong has always prided himself on having a strict family tradition and setting an example himself. It would be impossible for it to be as simple as just a few words of reprimand!

It can be said that Bai Lin's airtight words not only reflected his own magnanimity and courtesy, but also grasped the most sensitive spot of the aristocratic families!

It has to be said that a large number of people is actually a double-edged sword.

What puzzled Zhong Jingchen the most was that Bai Lin hardly gave the Zhong family the right to refuse!

Because he mentioned the redistribution of salt permits, which is exactly the strategy that Lord Zhong has been planning for several years. Once successfully implemented, the Zhong family will gain a lot of popular support and reputation, allowing the entire family to reach a higher level!

However, whether he could go up to this floor was stuck on Bai Lin!

Let’s not talk about what he will do. Even if he does nothing, as long as he delays for a few days, many ministers will hear the news and want to get a piece of the pie. Then, it’s hard to say who will get the huge credit!

At this juncture, Lord Zhong will never fail. He will definitely want to retrain Zhong Jingyu, and will also make life difficult for the entire Second House.

This is the explanation that Elder Zhong will definitely give to Bai Lin, and as the eldest branch of the family, they must also make a statement and deal with the impact of this matter on the clan. It can be imagined that this job will only fall on Zhong Jingchen.

Therefore, at this moment, Zhong Jingchen has completely experienced what it feels like to have a stupid teammate. The trouble that Zhong Jingyu caused this time is simply a typical example of something going from small to big!

Really, he was so angry!

He simply couldn't imagine that today's plan to rescue someone with certainty had turned into an embarrassment for the Zhong family caused by Bai Lin!

Isn't Bai Lin afraid at all that the Zhong family will come after him later?

Zhong Jingchen forced himself to calm down and looked at Bai Lin's clear and sincere eyes. He thought about it again and decided that perhaps this was not embarrassing.

On the other hand, as long as the Zhong family handles this matter well, Bai Lin will do his best to help Lord Zhong achieve his wish, thus protecting his sister and demonstrating his strength.

Sure enough, Bai Lin is not an ordinary person!

Bai Zhaozhao, who had been watching coldly from the side, was also amazed. Why did she feel that Bai Lin had changed again? It seemed that he was slowly moving closer to the sinister Bai Lin before he lost his memory?

He actually controlled the Zhong family with just a few simple words. After all, the salt permits were the lifeline of one-third of the Zhong family.

While Zhong Jingchen was hesitating, Bai Zhaozhao said, "Brother, the Crown Princess did me a favor before she got married."

"Oh?" Bai Lin asked in surprise, "There is such a thing?"

Bai Zhaozhao nodded: "Yes, when I was in the palace, she served as a witness for me."

Indeed, when Bai Zhaozhao attended the palace banquet and Qin Sha framed her, she fought back fiercely, and it was at that time that Zhong Jingting testified for her.

Of course, this favor is not worth mentioning. What is important is that Bai Zhaozhao thought of Lord Zhong. When they were in Linyang County, Lord Zhong took good care of the Bai family and helped her capture Lord Zheng who was bitten by a snake.

Once Lord Zhong came forward to mediate, Bai Lin would not be able to refuse his respect. This was also the reason why Bai Lin was unwilling to let Lord Zhong intervene. He obviously did not want the teacher-student relationship to be damaged.

In addition, He Anyu is the nephew of Mr. Zhong, which means that Zhong Jingyu is also He Anyu's cousin. It is only right for Bai Zhaozhao to give him more face. This is also a concern of the eldest and second brothers.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to bring up Zhong Jingting.

Bai Lin immediately understood what Bai Zhaozhao meant. His expression softened and he smiled generously. He said to Zhong Jingchen, "Brother Jingchen, since my sister has said so, why don't you take the person away? As for my suggestion of scolding him, you can do it or not. In any case, I, Bai Lin, will not complain and will not do anything unnecessary."

Zhong Jingchen felt relieved and looked at Bai Zhaozhao gratefully. This step was well-handed! He quickly signaled his two secret guards to take Zhong Jingyu away first.

"Thank you so much, brother Siming, and thank you, the county lady, for your generosity. I will definitely convey your sincerity to my grandfather! Oh, by the way, county lady, the 30% discount I just mentioned at the Treasure Pavilion is still valid. I hope you will accept it!"

Bai Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Of course!"

After saying that, Zhong Jingchen immediately said goodbye. On the way home, he carefully interrogated the secret guards around Zhong Jingyu.

The secret guard told him that Zhong Jingyu did try to assassinate Bai Zhaozhao sixteen times, but the first fifteen times he was fighting with Bai Zhaozhao's secret guards and did not encounter Bai Zhaozhao himself.

Zhong Jingchen was furious. Just because he hadn't encountered her in the previous fifteen times, did that mean that she didn't know?

Now it seems that Bai Zhaozhao didn't settle the score with the Zhong family earlier because of Zhong Jingting's consideration!
