854 The House
Lin Dazong’s final punishment was to strip him of his right to enter the academy.
In other words, he no longer had the qualifications to take the Imperial examinations.
This was even more serious than Lin Mingqing’s elimination of his elementary scholar status.
After all, Lin Mingqing was a disabled person who had been stripped of his scholar status. As long as he recovered, he still had a chance to be promoted and enter the ranks of an official. He would have a grand future!
As for Lin Dazong, other than the title of a scholar, he could only be a commoner for the rest of his life. He would never be able to make a name for himself.
This punishment was worse than killing Lin Laosan’s family.
They had always been arrogant in the village. Even after they were called jinxes, they still had that arrogance. The root of all this was the hope that Lin Dazong had given them.
As long as Lin Dazong passed the Imperial examinations and became a scholar, he could become an official. Then, his entire family would be glorious, and everyone would bow their heads and curry favor with him. His family would follow him to the big city to enjoy glory and wealth.
Therefore, they scoffed at these low-class farmers.
However, they did not expect that their hopes would be completely destroyed in an instant.
Of course, Lin Laosan’s family would not admit their mistakes. They only thought that the other families, especially Lin Yiwei’s family, were jealous of them for having a scholar in their family. Therefore, they wanted to kill their family’s chance to make a name for themselves.
Therefore, on the day that Lin Laosan’s family received the results, they didn’t have time to enjoy the joy of Lin yuelan giving them a house. They were immediately hit hard.
Lin Laosan’s family cursed Lin Yiwei endlessly. They kept saying that Lin Yiwei was just jealous and afraid that Lin Dazong would surpass Lin Mingqing. Hence, he had found an opportunity to plot and harm Lin Dazong. They wanted to force Lin Yiwei to change the outcome of his punishment.
As he listened to them scolding him more and more viciously, Lin Yiwei’s suppressed anger suddenly exploded.
His face darkened, and he shouted angrily, ” why should I be jealous of you? Everyone in the Lin family Village knows that my family’s past three generations were either high scholars or elementary scholars. Right now, there are members of the Lin family in the capital’s Xianglin Academy.
“Hmph, now that Lin Dazong has been stripped of his right to study, you can only blame yourselves for being too greedy and not taking the right path, thinking of ways to harm others. If you didn’t harm others, would you have ended up like this? You guys don’t reflect on your own actions, but you push the blame onto others. No wonder Lin Dazong turned out like this.
“He had actually framed someone as a demon and even wanted to kill her because he was jealous. Even if he enters the officialdom, he will only cause great harm.”
Although Lin Yiwei did not like Lin Dazong’s family, and even though they had used underhanded means to paralyze Lin Mingqing, he was not so angry.
However, when he found out that a young scholar like Lin Dazong had harmed others for his own selfish and greedy reasons, he was instantly enraged.
Lin Dazong’s family did not listen to Lin Yiwei’s words at all. They were certain that Lin Yiwei was taking the opportunity to cause trouble and suppress Lin Dazong so that he would not have a chance to rise up.
Therefore, the whole family cursed Lin Yiwei’s family for suffering retribution and dying a terrible death, and so on.
Lin yuelan was quite satisfied with the outcome.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to let them go, but these people kept trying to challenge her bottom line.
It was a pity that they had met someone like her, so they couldn’t take advantage of her at all.
Lin sanniu’s family had initially happily moved back to the Lin family. However, they had never expected that Lin Dazong would be stripped of his right to participate in the examination.
Their family had become Li Cuihua and the others’ punching bags again.
