Red House Shoufu

Chapter 20 Injured
The sound of the hand crossbow was covered by the noise on Yangcheng Lake. Except for Lin Shu and Wang Yuan who peeked at Lin Shu from time to time, no one noticed the crisis.

Lin Shu originally had a chance to escape, but at some point, the maid serving the tourists on the cruise ship squeezed around him, making him unable to move.

The speed of the crossbow arrow was extremely fast, and it was about to hit, a small figure collided with the servant girl beside Lin Shu.

The servant girl was in pain, and she couldn't help but fell down. Lin Shu, who was next to her, also tilted her body, but she just avoided the fatal blow.

Hum, the crossbow bolt was nailed to the wooden railing behind him, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling.At this time, Fuquan and other guards finally realized that something was wrong, and immediately surrounded Lin Shu and the others.

"Ah Chun, take someone to control the people on that boat, the thief is on it."

While supporting Wang Yuan who saved his life, Lin Shu commanded the guards to catch the thief.

Lin Chun led four people to board the crashing boat with ropes, screams, cursing, and fighting sounds filled his ears.

Daiyu looked at the blood oozing from Wang Yuan's arm, her tears seemed to be broken, and she blamed herself, "It's all my fault, I insisted on calling Sister Wang out to watch the lantern..."

Lin Shu checked the wound carefully. It should be that his arm was scratched by the uneven deck after hitting someone.

The wound was not deep, but it was troublesome.A scratched wound on a dirty deck can easily become infected and leave scars.

He said to the anxious Wang Huan: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go back immediately. Sister Wang's injury must be treated as soon as possible."

"Okay, let's go back now." Wang Huan nodded frantically.

Daiyu and Wang Yuan were protected by several nuns and went into the cabin. Lin Shu asked Madam Zhang to take the opportunity to find clean water to wash the wound on Wang Yuan's arm.

Then he and Wang Huan directly took down the maid who was squeezing him and couldn't move. How could there be such a coincidence in the world, when he was aimed at with a hand crossbow, someone happened to squeeze him to prevent him from dodging.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Lin Shu looked at the three women escorted by the guards, and there was no disturbance in his heart.

Those three servant girls are all from Tingtaofang, the largest flower shop in Yangzhou.Facing Lin Shu's interrogation, no one answered.

Even if these three people are not some stunning beauties, they can be regarded as Xiaojiabiyu, otherwise they would not be sent by Tingtaofang to serve Tongzhi Gongzi and Xie Yuanlang.

But Lin Shu is not a person who cherishes the fragrance and cherishes the jade, or in other words, he only has fear and anger in his heart at this time, and he doesn't care about the fragrance and jade at all.

"Since you don't say anything, let's go to Yangcheng Lake to feed the fish. Fuquan, throw it off the boat!"

"Brother Jinyu, this... setting up a private court is a felony!"

Wang Huan hurriedly persuaded: "Leave it to me to handle it. I will send them to the government office after a while. With my father here, I will definitely find out."

Lin Shu made a vague gesture to Wang Huan, and said in a deep voice: "There is no need for that, there are only a few people who want me to die, no matter who sent them, since they have shot at me, then don't blame me for returning." Go back. Fuquan, drag it to the stern and throw it down!"

……

Plop plop plop!
After three consecutive beeps, both Lin Shu and Wang Huan saw that Fu Quan and his men threw three sacks into the lake.The lights at the stern were dim, and it was difficult to see clearly.

Wang Huan asked in a low voice: "Is this feasible? How can brother Jinyu be sure that these three people squeezed you on purpose?"

"Although I only asked a question just now, there was no panic, no begging for mercy in the eyes of these three people, and they didn't even say a word of excuse. When I threatened to throw them overboard, they were not afraid at all. How can an ordinary maid be so calm?"

Lin Shu explained to Wang Huan that he had just discovered that the three of them looked like walking corpses, and no anger could be seen in their eyes.

"Could it be a dead man?" Wang Huan asked.

Lin Shu shook his head: "If it's a dead man, you can give me a knife just now. I saw that their eyes were lifeless, like walking corpses, so I wanted to ask Fuquan to find a place for them, and then find a way to investigate .”

The two briefly exchanged opinions, and as soon as the boat touched the shore, they immediately boarded the carriage and rushed to Lin's mansion.

……

Li Jingtong now lives not far from the Lin Mansion. Lin Ruhai died of illness in Yangzhou two years ago, and Lin Shu's brother and sister returned to their hometown to observe their filial piety. Li Jingtong also closed the medical clinic in Yangzhou and came to Suzhou Mansion.

After the old man treated Wang Yuan's wound, he prescribed a prescription for Wang Huan: "Although it is a trauma, I still need to drink a few doses of medicinal soup to get rid of the evil. After the wound heals, the scar will not be too obvious."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Wang Huan's eyes, and it seemed that the scar was inevitable.After thanking Li Jingtong, he sent Li Jingtong out with Lin Shu.

"Brother Weizhong, wait for me to think of a way to see if I can ask for Yurong ointment from the palace."

The Yurong ointment that Lin Shu mentioned was a famous medicine used by nobles in the palace to remove scars. There are many rumors among the people, but they have never seen it.

Wang Huan gave a wry smile: "God destined my sister to have such a catastrophe. Fortunately, the wound is not deep. Mr. Li also said that the scar will not be too obvious. Let's take a step and see."

Lin Shu looked at Wang Yuan's direction guiltily, if it hadn't been for Wang Yuan's collision today, he might really die.

It's all because I was too careless, I was so proud of the emperor's favor, and the embroidered clothes guard also warned those people, so I didn't take too much precautions, and was taken advantage of by the thieves.

Lin Shu walked into the room, bowed to Wang Yuan and said, "Thanks to Sister Wang for saving her life today, Lin Shu is very grateful! Please rest assured, Sister Wang, I will definitely find the best medicine to make Sister Wang's arm back to normal."

Wang Yuan hurriedly moved aside, and replied in a soft voice: "Brother Lin, what is this, it's just a scar, I don't care."

She really didn't care, although no woman in the world would care about her own beauty, but compared to Lin Shu's life, Wang Yuan was still happy to be able to exchange a scar for Lin Shu's safety.

Looking at the reasonable Wang Yuan, Lin Shu blamed himself even more.He had already made a plan in his heart, after he went to the capital, he would try his best to get Yurong ointment from Xia Shouzhong.

It was late at night, and it was not easy for the brothers and sisters of the Wang family to stay in the Lin mansion, so they said goodbye to the brothers and sisters of Lin Shu, and made an appointment for the four of them to meet again at the Wang family tomorrow.

Fuquan led people to escort them back, Lin Shu looked at the carriage going away with a slightly cold expression.

At this moment, Lin Chun led the people back, and all five of them were covered in blood, which shocked Lin Shu.

"What's going on? Are you injured?"

Lin Chun explained: "Don't worry, sir, it's all the blood of thieves. Except for a little cut on the leg of the sixth son, all of us are fine."

"Then get someone to bandage the sixth son with medicine..."

Lin Shu arranged for them to go down to take medicine and rest, leaving Lin Chun to inquire about the situation: "Have you caught anyone?"

Lin Chun knelt down on one knee, pleaded guilty and replied: "My lord, forgive me, I have already caught him. But on the way back, he was robbed again. There are about 20 people on the other side. If my subordinates read correctly, this group Among the people, there are Japanese wanderers hiding among them."
