Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 203 Daiyu tears the book

What is a husband?

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who knew that they would die if they missed the deadline, lived towards death, and shouted, "Princes, generals, and ministers would rather have the guts," could be your husband!

He was convicted of speaking out and was brutally castrated. He endured shame and humiliation. Sima Qian, who wrote "Historical Records", could be the husband!

He cultivated his land in Longmu with the ambition of clarifying the world. After emerging from the thatched cottage, he repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and assisted two generations of the Liu family and his son to establish the Shu Han Dynasty. His wisdom reaches heaven and earth, his virtue is loyal and loyal, he is a husband!

She was born as a prostitute in a brothel camp, and later followed her husband Han Shizhong to fight against the Jin Dynasty and defeated the Jin soldiers many times. Her intelligence and martial arts skills were not inferior to those of men, and she could be a husband among women!

Regardless of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Sima Qian, Zhuge Liang, or Liang Hongyu, their virtues are all responsible and responsible, while Baoyu does not. Lin Ruhai didn't ask for Baoyu, she just thought that it could protect her daughter, but...

He has no ambitions, is ignorant, is narrow-minded, has no achievements, lives in vain, is weak and cowardly... Hearing such a person makes Lin Ruhai frown, how can he protect Daiyu? I'm afraid it's not a good match!

If that's all, that's it, but Mrs. Wang doesn't like her daughter either. Lin Ruhai couldn't help but feel funny, that is, only because her mother-in-law was still alive, Mrs. Wang could dominate. But when her mother-in-law passed away, how could Jia She and Mrs. Xing tolerate Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang?

Ruo Daiyu did marry Baoyu, and her body had been weak since she was a child. She was afraid that if she could not have a son and a half, she would follow in the footsteps of her late wife!

He sighed secretly, could he entrust his daughter to the Lin family? The second brother Lin Cang is greedy and greedy, but the fifth brother Lin Tan is a conscientious person...

While Lin Ruhai was thinking about it, Li Weijian on the side observed his words, put his hands into his sleeves, and rustled out a letter: "Uncle Shi, this is written by my teacher himself."

"Oh." Lin Ruhai responded and took it, spread it out and looked at it for a few times, and the frown suddenly relaxed.

Halfway through, Lin Ruhai suddenly glanced at Li Weijian, and the depression in his heart suddenly relieved.

Yan Xiyao proposed marriage to his disciple Li Weijian!

Thinking about it carefully, even though Daiyu mentioned Baoyu when she came back this time, she would mention Li Weijian from time to time. Previously, it was only said that Li Weijian was grateful for the support, so he took more care of his daughter. Now that I think about it, when my daughter is eleven or twelve years old, isn't it the time when her love begins to blossom?

The Li Fusheng in front of him was only fifteen or sixteen years old, so they were exactly the same age!

Lowering his eyes, although his eyes were scanning the letter, Lin Ruhai was distracted and thought to himself: We are of the same age, know how to repay kindness, and can do what no one can do!

Moreover, when a young man succeeds, he is not arrogant at all, but he knows the way forward and retreat very well. Knowing that it was not easy to get involved in the court at this time, he simply entered the inner palace as an official. There is also an old fox and roly-poly Yan Xiyao who is protecting him. Such a young man is an excellent candidate for a son-in-law who can take advantage of the dragon!

The most rare thing is that since Yan Xiyao mentioned this matter, it must be Li Fusheng's intention. OK, OK! If her daughter marries Li Weijian, she won't have to worry about being wronged. It is expected that with Li Weijian's support, no one will dare to bully her daughter.

It's just that Lin Ruhai only has Daiyu's daughter, so she naturally regards her as the apple of her eye. On this important matter of marriage, you must listen to your daughter's thoughts. It's not good to make a decision now.

After collecting his thoughts, in the second half of the letter, Yan Xiyao suddenly changed the topic and mentioned that his daughter's health and bones were not in good condition, and he was afraid that the heir would be in trouble.

The two lines of handwriting should have been written down smoothly, but there was an extra gap. Because the two characters on the left and right were combined together, it became an extremely eye-catching word: Bing Di!

What is heir apparent?

This is an old practice in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In a noble family, the sage issued a favor and allowed him to marry two wives and be granted the title of wife of the country.

At this time, there was already a saying among the people about combining traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, but it was not popular on the stage. Most of them were merchants and ordinary people's families who practiced this method. And if the people don't take action and the officials don't investigate, then we just let it go. If someone reports, the Great Law of Shun is not just a decoration. It states, 'Whoever takes a new wife will only live for one year'!

Lin Ruhai only married Jia Min. After the marriage, the couple fell in love with each other. Not only did they share the love with each other, but they also disliked the marriage. How could their precious daughter serve the same husband with another woman?

It's just that Li Fusheng is really rare... Lin Ruhai hesitated for a moment. She had to think carefully about this matter before asking Daiyu.

Li Weijian watched Lin Ruhai's expression from the side and saw that he had smiled before, but after a while, he stopped smiling. Li Weijian suddenly wondered, how did teacher Yan Xiyao write this letter? How come Lin Yansi was happy first and then upset?

At this moment, Lin Ruhai put down the letter, looked at Li Weijian carefully, and then said: "This matter... is not urgent. Doctor Xu said that I probably have one or two months left. When will Fusheng plan to return to the capital?" ?”

Li Weijian said hurriedly: "When I go south, I have to go home and stay for a while. I will probably leave before June."

"Okay, before I return to the capital after resurrection, I will definitely have an answer to this matter."

Li Weijian didn't think much about it. He just said that Lin Ruhai loved Daiyu and always asked Daiyu what she meant before replying, so he kept agreeing.

The two briefly exchanged a few words. Li Weijian mentioned the salt policy inadvertently, but Lin Ruhai kept it secret and immediately changed the topic to talk about something else.

Li Weijian couldn't help but wonder. Lin Ruhai is in charge of the government and always wants to see the implementation of the voting salt law before he dies. Why is he so indifferent now?

As if knowing what he was thinking, Lin Ruhai said: "Resurrection, the Lianghuai Salt Water is too deep... You are still young, so you should not get involved."

"Is there something unspeakable about my uncle?"

Lin Ruhai said meaningfully: "I am in charge of the Lianghuai River. Although I am not as honest as water, I only take the money that I should take. As you can see from the resurrection, as soon as I took office that day, I found out that the Lianghuai Salt Department treasury owed one hundred and fifty yuan. One hundred thousand taels?"

"I've never heard of that."

Lin Ruhai said: "The salt policy has been suffering for a long time. I want to take care of it, so I went to the sage and asked that the 1.5 million taels of silver be divided into thirty years and the salt department repay the internal funds." After a pause. , smiled bitterly and said: "On that day, everyone in the Salt Department was grateful and grateful. I had already won the hearts of the people. Who would have thought that I would still be constrained in my actions later on. Now that I think about it, I thought it was simple. It is really... I have betrayed the divine grace."

Seeing that there was no other emotion on Li Weijian's face, Lin Ruhai suddenly said: "Resurrection might as well think about it carefully. My wife died early, my only son died young, and now even I will die soon... How can there be such a coincidence in this world? "

"Huh?" Li Weijian thought for a moment and was suddenly horrified: "Uncle Lin said-"

Lin Ruhai said leisurely: "If you can't bribe me, then you have no choice but to kill me."

"Uncle got the evidence?"

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Dr. Xu searched the warehouse at home and found a medicine. He concluded that this medicine was the culprit."

"What medicine?"

"Carambola flowers." Lin Ruhai thought back: "When Daiyu's mother passed away just now, I couldn't sleep well at night and was often distressed. I invited a doctor to open this carambola flower, and after eating it for many years, it became what it is now."

Li Weijian thought to himself, "I guess the doctor must have disappeared?"

Lin Ruhai said: "You can't see people alive, and you can't see corpses after death. It took several years of planning to achieve today's results."

Li Weijian asked: "Is there anyone suspicious of my uncle?"

"Suspicious? Ha--" Lin Ruhai laughed miserably and said: "I am suspicious all over Yangzhou. The layout is calm and the actions are thorough. I am afraid it is not the work of one person. I... am an enemy of the entire Yangzhou."

Li Weijian whispered: "Yangzhou's salt policy has been so corrupted. I expect the saint will make up his mind to cut the mess with a sharp knife."

"Hey, it has nothing to do with me." After a pause, Lin Ruhai said with emotion: "I have known your teacher Yan Xiyao for a long time and have a close personal relationship. But I have always looked down on Yan Xiyao's way of life... Now that I think about it, for When an official governs and develops his ambitions, he must first preserve his usefulness.

But when you are resurrected, don’t imitate your teacher and endure it again and again. I don’t think you can endure it like a Xu Jie, but you can endure it like an old turtle. "

"Uh..." This joke was caught off guard, and it also involved his mentor. Li Weijian blinked, not knowing what expression to make.

Lin Ruhai smiled and then said: "Resurrection might as well stay for two more days. My home is not as good as Rongguo Mansion, so I won't stay here. If you have time, talk to Yu'er more. She has been suffering in the past few months."

Li Weijian agreed and saw that Lin Ruhai was tired and said a few words before leaving.

When I got out of the main room, I saw Butler Yu approaching. He came closer and said, "Master Li, your attendant said that if you have time, go to the side hall and report something."

Li Weijian nodded and happened to bump into Zicuckoo. Li Weijian asked, "Where is your girl?"

Zicuckoo bowed and said, "Go back to Fourth Master, the girl has not been able to sleep well these days. She just fell asleep when she returned to her room."

Li Weijian nodded, thinking that since Daiyu fell asleep, it would be better to go see what happened to Wu Haining first.

After leaving the inner house and going to the side hall, when he entered, he saw Wu Haining and Cheng Heng talking animatedly. Seeing Li Weijian, Wu Haining hurriedly came over with a smile to show off his merits.

"Master, I just vented my anger on you."

"Oh? Why did you get angry?"

Wu Haining added fuel to the fire and told the story of his recent visit to the prefect's Yamen. After saying that, he was waiting for Li Weijian to praise him, but unexpectedly he looked up and saw Li Weijian looking at him with a half-smile.

Wu Haining blinked: "Sir, I...have done something wrong?"

Li Weijian said meaningfully: "It's more than just a bad thing? It's like a hug."

"Hug?" Wu Haining was puzzled. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember what hug meant in Jinling dialect.

Just listen to Li Weijian say: "Huh, low-level, low-level work. Now you are following me on errands, and you are using my face. Being so shameless, it shows that I have no power, and I will retaliate. I have your best thoughts in mind." , there will be no punishment this time.”

Wu Haining suddenly said in frustration: "Okay, thank you for your forgiveness."

Li Weijian said happily: "Don't accept it? Forget it, when you go to Daruzhou later, I will write a handwritten letter asking you to go to Suzhou Mansion to be a disciple for half a month. When you come back, tell me what went wrong today and how to deal with this matter. .”

Wu Haining Weiwei agreed, but was still unconvinced. Li Weijian didn't give much advice. If he handled the matter, he would just hand over a name card, and there would be no need to say anything else. The secretaries would listen in private. How could he risk his face and ask someone to take action so straightforwardly? Help? It’s home!

At this moment, I don’t know how the Yangzhou magistrate is laughing at me.

On second thought, let's just make a joke. If this matter spreads, outsiders will know that he has a close relationship with the Lin family. Those who want to take advantage of them must first consider whether their body and bones can withstand their own revenge!

Raising his hand and patting Wu Haining's shoulder, Li Weijian walked out with his hands behind his back. I thought to myself, after all, my foundation is weak and there are really no useful people around me.

Wu Haining's mind works very fast, but he is accustomed to wandering around the market and has no idea about the ways of officialdom. This time I thought I had a plan, but I didn't know how people were laughing at me behind my back.

Li Weijian stayed at Lin's house until late that day. When Daiyu woke up, the two of them talked for a while. But Aunt Sun was watching from the side, and there were some words that not only Daiyu, but even Li Weijian couldn't say. Because it was not yet time to arrive, Li Weijian simply stood up and left, saying that he would come to visit again tomorrow.

After returning to the post house, the imperial army who stayed behind immediately presented the invitation, but it was sent by Yangzhou magistrate at noon. At this point, Li Weijian had no choice but to rush to the banquet.

............................................................

Lin.

Without the two noisy flies, Daiyu's mood improved a lot. After Aunt Sun took care of her family affairs, Daiyu went back to her room and sat around, and couldn't help but think of Li Weijian.

Although the two of them didn't say much just now, they occasionally looked at each other, but Daiyu could see concern and distress in those clear eyes. As a result, Daiyu's heart felt sour and painful. When she was helpless, Fourth Brother Jian was like a magic weapon descending from the sky. He changed his usual gentleness and drove the two people out of the house unreasonably.

Daiyu then thought, that the anger in the drama is probably the same, right? Suddenly, I felt that this word was not good. Brother Jian was not Wu Sangui, and he was not Chen Yuanyuan, the beauty who brought disaster to the country.

While he was thinking about it, the maid Xue Yan walked quickly and said, "Girl, the master is awake and wants to see the girl now."

Daiyu put down the tea cup and hurriedly looked for the main room.

In the main room, Aunt Sun was serving Lin Ruhai ginseng soup. Seeing Daiyu coming, Lin Ruhai waved her hand and stopped drinking.

Lin Ruhai looked at the two of them and said, "I feel a lot better today. Before I feel too uncomfortable, I have to explain some things in advance."

"Father."

"master--"

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said: "Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. You don't have to keep silent about it now. Those concubines probably have other thoughts. Xiuru turned around and asked, and each of them gave three thousand taels of silver. After signing the contract, let them find their own place."

Aunt Sun responded: "Yes."

Lin Ruhai said again: "You have been with me for the longest time, and I wanted to leave you more money. But then I thought about it, I am afraid that this much money is more of a misfortune than a blessing. Because, I will only leave you five thousand taels. When I die Now, you should go back to your hometown."

Aunt Sun's eyes suddenly turned red and she burst into tears.

Lin Ruhai had no intention of comforting Aunt Sun, sighed and sent her away. Only the father and daughter were left inside.

Lin Ruhai said: "When I go, I am most worried about Yu'er."

"Daddy!"

"I know what the Lin family is thinking about saving money. What they want is just the family property accumulated for my father. But I don't know that the most valuable thing for my father is not the family property." With a joking smile, Lin Ruhai said: "Yu'er is afraid and disgusted with those families in her heart, so I will entrust you to the Jia family. With your grandmother here, she can always take care of you when you get married." Daiyu wept silently, quietly Listen quietly to your father's arrangements.

Lin Ruhai added: "Jia Lian came here earlier and sent a letter written by your grandmother. It mentioned in it that the Rongguo Mansion will be responsible for the wedding in the future. And your grandmother intends to match you with Baoyu... Yu'er, my father wants to know What’s going on in your mind.”

Daiyu was slightly startled. Even though she was old enough to have such thoughts, she had never thought about getting married and having children. Because he just said: "My daughter never thought about it, so she just let it go -"

Daiyu suddenly couldn't speak about the words "father makes the decision" at the end. Li Weijian's tall and tall figure like green pines and green cypresses suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Lin Ruhai, who knew his daughter Mo Ruofu, saw this and said, "Yu'er, don't rush to agree. There is one more thing... Li Fusheng came to visit today and also brought a letter."

"Ah?" Daiyu's face was extremely surprised. Yan Yan frowned, both hopeful and afraid of loss.

Then Lin Ruhai said: "The letter was written by Yan Xiyao, Fusheng's mentor. There is a head hidden in it... It means that Li Fusheng wants Yu'er to be his legitimate wife."

Daiyu thought for a while and said: "And the direct descendants... old things from the Sui and Tang Dynasties?"

"There is a precedent in this dynasty." After a pause, Lin Ruhai said: "I know Yu'er has never thought about it, but I don't have much time, so Yu'er should think about it. If you think Baoyu is okay, then my father will The marriage certificate and all the family property are entrusted to the Rongguo Mansion. In the future, Yu'er's marriage will be handled by your grandmother. This is the way;"

Daiyu instinctively felt nervous and asked, "Where's the other one?"

When Lin Ruhai heard this, how could she not know her daughter's thoughts? Because he said: "Another way: the family property still has to be entrusted to the Rongguo Mansion. Hehe, it is expected that Li Fusheng's family is worth millions, and he probably can't look down on the three melons and two dates he accumulated for his father.

As for Yu'er, she must be raised under your grandmother's knees until she reaches her hairpin. I wrote a posthumous memorial to my father to ask for the saint's permission to grant Li Fusheng the right to act as his direct descendant. When Yu'er reaches the age of hairpin, she naturally marries Li Fusheng. "

A red cloud suddenly appeared on Daiyu's face, and she lowered her head as if thinking.

Lin Ruhai silently picked up two letters from his hand. The upper one had a bright red cover, which was a marriage letter; the lower one was sealed with lacquer and was a legacy.

"If Yu'er can't decide for a moment, take both of these letters. After I die, choose one."

Daiyu hesitantly reached out and took the two letters, glanced at the bright red marriage letter, and then at the memorial sealed with lacquer. She lowered her head in silence and bit her lower lip, thinking over and over again in her mind. Baoyu and Li Weijian appeared alternately in front of her eyes.

At some point, there was only one person left in front of him. In Daiyu's eyes that looked like weeping but not crying, the confusion disappeared and she gradually became firm.

She stood up, raised her hand and picked up the bright red marriage certificate.

Lin Ruhai looked surprised, wondering if she had just thought wrong?

At this moment, a "hissing" sound was suddenly heard! When he came back to his senses, he saw that Daiyu had torn the red wedding in half!

Throwing it away casually, Daiyu held the yellowed kraft paper and sealed Yingying Yifu: "Please forgive me, father. My fourth brother Jian and I have known each other for a long time, and I have been protected by fourth brother Jian. I gradually fall in love with her..."

Lin Ruhai said sternly: "Yu'er has thought about it, and... Li Fusheng will marry another wife besides you in the future."

Daiyu smiled and said: "If he has me in his heart, he will be nameless and has no status, which is better than a couple of gods and immortals; if he doesn't have me in his heart, so what if he only has me as his wife? Who knows that he will not spoil his concubine in the future?" wife?"

"Now that Yu'er has made up her mind, her father can only persuade her." As she spoke, Lin Ruhai stretched out her hand and grabbed the kraft paper seal. Daiyu didn't think about it for a while, so she took a small step back.

Lin Ruhai was speechless for a moment and sighed: "My father must come to present this memorial, so what's the use of you holding it?"

"Ah? Ah -" Daiyu's face suddenly became hot, and she hurriedly handed the memorial back to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai held the memorial and her heart was filled with soreness. Girls are known to be extroverts, and even their own Yu'er could not escape this situation. He knew that his time was short, so he only felt a little sour for a moment, and then he said seriously: "The family property, free money and the dowry left by your mother only add up to more than a hundred thousand taels of silver. After I die, I will take it with me." Rongguo Mansion. When Yu'er gets married in the future, you don't have to worry about the size of the dowry. There is another dowry for her father."

"Yes." Daiyu agreed.

Lin Ruhai added: "Let the Gusu house, fields, and shops be left to the clan for disposal. This can be considered an explanation."

Thinking that her father was about to die, Daiyu's eyes suddenly turned red again: "Dad..."

"That's it. While I still have energy, Yu'er will serve you with pen and ink. I will write about your dowry before I die."

Daiyu held back her tears, ordered the maid to move the small table and put it on the bedside, and then polished it with her own hands. Then Lin Ruhai picked up his pen and put down his ink, and wrote on it: "Brother Xiongtaijian: Those who have passed away can't see the richness, and the spring and Autumn period have changed... His life is not long. Although he died in the king's affairs, he has dishonored the divine grace. He is in charge. Lianghuai is nothing but diligent and loyal, with few achievements. Before leaving, I have nothing to worry about behind my back, but I am worried about my little daughter... The one who has Li Fusheng today is a disciple of Yan Xiyao..."

Daiyu felt sad and shy at the same time. She really couldn't stand it anymore, so she had to withdraw her gaze and focus on grinding. But she knew in her heart that this was the dowry her father had left for her... I just didn't know whether Fourth Brother Jian was happy or not.

............................................................

The next day, Li Weijian came to visit again, met Daiyu and Lin Ruhai, and did not leave until after noon. He was filled with doubts. Lin Ruhai had been intimate with her a lot today, but Daiyu avoided him. What did this mean?

What did the teacher write in the letter?

He was scratching his head and couldn't ask Lin what the content of the letter was. In this case, we can only ask the teacher in person when we return to the capital.

After staying for two days, seeing that he couldn't talk to Daiyu and couldn't help him, Li Weijian was still reluctant to give up, but he calculated his schedule and it was time to go to his hometown in Jinling.

Feeling sad, he led a group of people to board the ship and set off. Before leaving, he ordered Wu Haining to buy some newspapers.

Xu Shi couldn't help but think about it. Li Weijian had just mentioned his teacher Yan Xiyao in his heart, and he got the teacher Yan Xiyao's letter from the newspaper on the ship.

Pang Yanyi, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, wrote a letter to impeach Yan Xiyao, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, for accepting bribes from the Jiangnan gentry. The saint was furious and ordered the Criminal Punishment Department to conduct a strict investigation. The Division of Criminal Punishment interrogated Yan Xiyao, and Yan Xiyao confessed in court. Later, the Division of Criminal Punishment found 73 letters.

It involves eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou, as well as wealthy gentry such as the Xu family and the Gu family in Songjiang.

The saint was furious and immediately threw Yan Xiyao into a prison and ordered the three divisions to interrogate him.

When Li Weijian read the Di newspaper for the first time, his heart was in a state of panic. After reading it carefully, he suddenly calmed down. I am not familiar with Pang Yanyi, but I am familiar with Li Weijian, the Chief of Punishment.

When someone impeached his mentor, the saint sent the Criminal Division to investigate strictly, instead of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This seems to be unreasonable! Furthermore, how could someone who thought he was a master be so cunning and so cunning that someone could easily take advantage of him?

Moreover, the letters found out were either salt merchants or Jiangnan gentry. These were all targets that the saint tried his best to attack! It's just a coincidence. All kinds of coincidences come together, and there is a hint of conspiracy in it.

Regardless of self-awareness, this must be a sacrificial plan conspired by the saint and his mentor Yan Xiyao! Unexpectedly, within a few months, my mentor would be acquitted, and he might even be promoted.

After collecting the newspaper, Li Weijian thought to himself that the court was really dangerous now, so he might as well hide in his inner palace.

Without further ado, the boat left Yangzhou and entered the Yangtze River, then headed straight for Jinling.

............................................................

But he said Lin Cang and Lin Yu.

The official residence where the Lin family lives can only be accessed three times, because Lin Cang and Lin Huang have separate residences. When April first arrived, the two of them stayed in an inn for a few days.

When they learned that these two people were related to Lin Ruhai, a salt merchant immediately entertained them and placed them in a house.

In the moonlight, the father and son ate delicacies every day, listened to the family singing, and played with the singers and maids. It was said that they were happy and reluctant to miss Shu.

Unexpectedly, the unreasonable Mr. Li came to the door that day, and Lin Yu was beaten without saying a word. The next day, the father and son were in trouble.

Lin Cang was trapped at home, thinking about countermeasures, and couldn't think of any other solution. Because he was thinking that no matter how domineering Li Weijian was, he would eventually leave. After he left, the two of them came to the door again. By then, Li Weijian would be far away in the capital, so he couldn't still come to take care of the Lin family's affairs, right?

This abacus made a clanging sound, and Lin Yu came back in disgrace the next day. After asking, I found out that now everyone in Yangzhou City knew that the father and son had offended Li Weijian, so the friends who usually interacted with each other immediately turned against each other.

When they met, they hid and walked away. If they couldn't avoid it, they would pretend that something was wrong. Lin Yu scolded the world for its harshness, and Lin Cang advised him to calm down and keep Lin Ruhai's property in his pocket.

The two of them were afraid that Li Weijian had other tricks waiting for them, so they simply hid in the salt merchant's mansion and stayed behind closed doors.

The two thought they would be fine if they stayed behind closed doors, but unexpectedly something happened to them again that day!

At night, the father and son were sleeping soundly when they suddenly heard someone shouting "The water is leaking" from outside.

The two opened their eyes to observe, and were stunned. Then he saw a raging fire in the garden, and the wave of fire rushed towards the mansion.

The father and son were so frightened that they threw on their clothes and ran away.

This house was borrowed, but now it was flooded. Lin Cang was afraid of losing money, so he quickly called the servants to put out the fire. However, these servants seemed to be frightened out of their wits, and they poured water indiscriminately. The fire did not get smaller, but became bigger and bigger. At dawn, the good house was burned to ashes.

The father and son were about to cry, so they had to send the steward to report the matter to the salt merchant. The salt merchant didn't come in person, but sent a young man from his family to the two of them. His nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes. Then he walked away without asking them to compensate.

Lin Cang and Lin Huang let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly led the two servants to find the inn.

It’s also an evil sect. It’s no secret of the year, and I don’t know where so many foreigners come from in Yangzhou City, so that all the inns are full! After asking around, I couldn't find an inn to stay at.

Lin Yu was annoyed and cursed: "What's the point of an inn? Dad, why don't your son go find Mr. Cheng and borrow another house?"

Lin Cang was more knowledgeable than Lin Yu after all, thinking that he had been unlucky since the day before yesterday, not to mention the fire in the house he was staying in, and the inn was full. Where do all these coincidences come from? Even without asking, you would know that it must be the handiwork of Mr. Li!

Because he said casually: "Don't think about it, this must be Li's method."

Lin Yu thought of those dozen slaps and immediately flinched: "Dad, what should we do?"

Lin Cang thought carefully and said, "The man named Li doesn't want us, my father and his son, to stay in Yangzhou. In that case, let's leave the city first. We'll find a temple to stay first, and we'll come back after the man surnamed Li leaves."

Lin Yu said: "What if the person named Li doesn't leave?"

"Hun said, how could the person named Li not leave? Just wait and see."

At that moment, the father and son led their servants out of Yangzhou City, gave up two hundred kilograms of sesame oil, and then found a temple to stay.

There was a flood last night, and the father and son didn't sleep well all night. When I got to the quiet room and was about to take a nap, a government official came to the door. All he wanted to do was to arrest the Jiangyang robber and compare them one by one with the portraits.

Somehow, that portrait actually looks a bit like Lin Yu! When the yamen officer came up and wanted to take the lock, Lin Yu was so frightened that he collapsed into a ball.

Lin Cang hurriedly put away his money so that he could talk things over, and then took out Lin Yu's supervisory instrument, and then persuaded all the government servants to stop.

As the saying goes, one wave came after another, so the government officials were sent away just now. As soon as the two of them lay down, someone came looking for them again.

The person who came back this time was not a stranger, but Lin Cang's son, named Lin Huang.

Lin Cang was puzzled and hurriedly came out to meet him. As soon as they met, Lin Huang said: "Dad, something bad happened. The stone pond built in Suzhou was originally just passing by our house. For some reason, he suddenly changed his mind. Now the stone pond actually passes by our house. The old houses are all enclosed!

Dad, please go back and think of something. If not, our old house may not be safe! "

"Ah? That doesn't make sense!"

This is the first time I heard that the government's construction of stone ponds can trap the gentry's families... but they are not so bullying! Lin Cang's temples were twitching, and his heart suddenly thumped as he recalled the encounters he had suffered in the past two days. I secretly thought, could this be the method of Mr. Li?

Then I heard my second son Lin Huang say: "That's not all! Bantou Wu got mad out of his mind, saying that our land does not match the land in the yellow book, and that he wanted to check the land..."

"Stop talking, stop talking, let's go back to Gusu now!"

Lin Cang knew in his heart that this was just a matter of words. If he continued to stay in Yangzhou, there was no doubt that the lives of father and son would be at risk here!
