Red House Shoufu

Chapter 306 Sudden Assassination
Lin Shu, who sent Zuo Lan away, returned to the chief assistant of the cabinet. Wei Qinghe was drinking slowly from a teacup. Lin Shu stepped forward to ask, "Mr. Ge, why are you so wary of water melting? With just such a few people, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liaodong, even if they are dragged, they can drag him to Liaodong."

Compared with the hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry in Oala, the Qi family in Xining also has hundreds of thousands of horses. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are many soldiers and generals.

Only water soluble, from Xingyang to Liaodong, has suffered serious staff reduction.Now there will be no more than a hundred, and less than [-] soldiers. Wei Qinghe's attitude is too cautious for such a water solution.

Hearing Lin Shu's question, Wei Qinghe shook his head: "You have underestimated the background of the Shui family, and the accumulation of four kings, eight lords and twelve lords over the past hundred years. In the battle of Tianmen Mountain, it seems that Sui Rong lost two thousand dollars. The elite also sent the treasure to the court. But Shui Rong took advantage of the court's attention to be drawn to Tianmen Mountain, and secretly transported the 2 million taels of silver that the Zhongxin Palace had looted from various places over the years out of the pass."

"So, Shui Rong has already made two-handed preparations. He even searched for the treasures of the previous dynasty. He just hit a stick. If there is a date or not, as long as he can attract the attention of the court, it is a success?"

Lin Shu admired Shui Rong a little bit. He took one step and saw three steps. This person has a clear understanding of human nature.Using the treasures of the previous dynasty to arouse Gao Yongyi's greed, he used the secrets outside the city to open up the private collection of the Zhongxin Palace, and then led Gao Yongyi and the people of the Zhen family to wander around the mountains in search of treasures, and by the way attracted the attention of Xiuyiwei.

Wei Qinghe said: "At present, it looks like this. Maybe he has other goals, but he can't see it yet. The capital is still too chaotic. The Shui family has stayed in the capital for too long. There may be people from his family in every corner. Before the threat of Mobei and Northwest is eliminated, the old man does not want to dissolve the water and stir up wind and rain in the capital."

……

Lin Shu was busy for several days and nights, and was unanimously praised by the emperor, the cabinet and the five military governors.

Because of his age, the emperor has not been promoted to his actual position for these several times of great or small credit, and this time is the same, he bestowed a unicorn suit and some gold, silver and jade objects.

Among other things, the unicorn suit given to Lin Shu by the emperor is the only one in the Hanlin Academy.Lin Shu, who had received the grace of God, naturally could not escape the clutches of his colleagues. After he was on duty, he invited a dozen or so people who were close friends in the Imperial Academy to celebrate at the Huiyan Tower near the imperial city.

Just after the new year, students from various counties under the Shuntian Prefecture have gradually gathered in the capital.Next month will be the three exams at the county, government, and hospital, and there are already many students gathered in the Huiyan Tower.

Quite a few people were reciting poems or composing fuss with their friends, or talking loudly. In the private room with the door tightly closed, there was the sound of Qin music from time to time.

Lin Shu got a little drunk, he held the porch to send away the colleagues and friends who were invited to the banquet, and returned to the private room to sit down and rest.

Fuquan took people back to his hometown in Suzhou, and Lin Jiu and Lin Mastiff, who had just come to Beijing from Zhuangzi, were in charge of guarding Lin Shu on weekdays.

Lin Shu sat in the private room drinking tea and rested for a while, the groom drove the carriage over, Lin Jiu had just helped Lin Shu into the carriage, when a fire suddenly ignited in a restaurant not far away.

The capital was cold and dry in the cold spring, and the fire was already a little out of control before the soldiers from Bingmasi rushed over.Seeing that the nearby houses were about to be affected, Lin Shu stood on the car and shouted at a group of patrolling guards who came.

"My official is Lin Shu, a lecturer at the Imperial Academy. Immediately arrange for someone to clear the area around the burning restaurant, so that the fire does not spread to other places!"

Lin Shu, who was blessed with the status of Hanlin official, gave an order, and the forbidden army, who was startled by the sudden fire, immediately followed his instructions.After driving away the nearby people, a large group of people finally cleared out a isolation zone before the fire became uncontrollable.

Before Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Jiu suddenly drew his sword to guard Lin Shu, and the little Lin Mastiff also drew his sword to guard.

With a whoosh, Lin Shu saw a flash of light, and Lin Jiu knocked the cold arrow to the ground with a single blow.

"what……"

"Murder!"

The collapsed restaurant and the sudden cold arrows from all around directly caused five or six people to die not far away.The imperial guards who had just finished patrolling the city were stupefied, and the leading captain left a few people to protect Lin Shu, while he brought a dozen or so people to chase after the murderer's figure.

Just after the captain led his men to chase them out, another group of men in black came to the other side.

"Get in the car first, it's not suitable to stay here for long!"

After realizing the danger, Lin Jiu didn't wait for Lin Shu's order at all, and immediately put Lin Shu back into the carriage, and was about to leave regardless of the messy scene.

But Lin Shu whispered to him: "Uncle Jiu, I can't leave. If I leave this meeting, my reputation, the reputation of the Lin family will be completely rotten."

Only then did Lin Jiu think of Lin Shu's identity. He was a civil servant and a noble Hanlin scholar. If he abandoned the common people and fled at this time, his life would be saved, but his reputation would be rotten.

Fortunately, the remaining soldiers of the forbidden army were quite courageous, they protected Lin Shu and the nearby people, and temporarily hid back in the Yan Tower.

The students who had been hiding upstairs to watch the excitement when they noticed a fire nearby did not realize that they were surrounded by a group of men in black on the road until Lin Shu went up to the third floor, and they panicked instantly.

Lin Shu, who climbed up to check the situation, found that there were several fires shooting up into the sky in the four directions of the southeast, the north, and the west. After a quarter of an hour, the imperial guards patrolling the city have not come to support this place. He felt that it was unusual.

"Patriarch, it's a Tartar! No matter how many sachets you use, you won't be able to hide that smell of sheep."

Lin Jiu often went to the grasslands back then, and he was in charge of most of the Lin family's fur business.As for the identities of the people downstairs, they could be identified from the smell coming from the other party when they just met each other.

Lin Shu frowned and asked, "Maybe we can confirm which one it belongs to, Tatar or Wala?"

Lin Jiu responded with a wry smile: "The smell of tartars is the same..."

"careful!"

The sharp-eyed Lin Mastiff pushed Lin Shu away, and a feathered arrow flew past Lin Shu's ear, and pierced fiercely into the window sill behind Lin Shu, almost half of the arrow went in, and the tail of the arrow buzzed. It makes a sound, which shows its great power.

Lin Shu hid his body behind the wall, and quietly looked in the direction Yujian came from. There were a few people hiding in the dark upstairs on the opposite floor. Only the metal arrow of Yujian shone slightly under the light of the fire. Light.

Lin Jiu quickly pulled out the feathered arrow and looked it over: "It's a court-made bow and arrow, with the mark of the Imperial Army printed on it... The Dragon Guard, it turned out to be the Dragon Guard!"

"how can that be?"

Lin Shu's first reaction was unbelievable, but now it's not a matter of entanglement in truth or falsehood.The people downstairs are already ready to attack with fire, after all, this is a wooden house, and this kind of dry firewood will catch fire at one point.

Fortunately, there is a well in the restaurant. Under the opportunity of Lin Shu, the guards patrolling the city and this group of students soaked the restaurant with water. After a while, the men in black really have nothing to do with the people in the restaurant.

"It doesn't matter, let's go in first and take the dog's head of the Lin family son! The master said, kill Lin Shu and reward him ten thousand taels of silver!"

A man in black downstairs suddenly yelled, and the rest of the people threw the torches, drew their swords and were about to kick open the door and rush in.

Lin Jiu raised his right arm, and with a bang of the crossbow, the person who charged the fastest was stunned, causing the opponent's attack to pause.

"That person's voice was so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere!"

Lin Shu was puzzled, but was interrupted by Lin Jiu: "Patriarch, you should find a way to leave this place quickly. The other party has no less than 60 people. With us big cats and kittens, it won't last long at all!"
