The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

"Yes, she asked me to come. But I'm here to help you out."

After the fat man finished speaking, he covered Lu Zhuoyuan's mouth with his left hand, and stabbed Lu Zhuoyuan's chest with a short dagger with his right hand.

Lu Zhuoyuan couldn't even cry out for help, and fell into a pool of blood.Died of anger.

Chapter 127: Divide Dirty

Lin Yun and the others came to the backyard and found that it was similar to the garden of Lianghuai Patrol Salt Imperial Envoy's Mansion. There were no shortage of flowers, plants, trees, rockery and strange rocks. The only thing missing was water.

Under the guidance of Zhong Yi, everyone walked to a strange-looking rockery. This rockery faced a bluestone path. If salt was stored in it, it would be very convenient to transport it out.

Zhong Yi stretched out his hand and pressed on the rock.There was a rumbling sound, and the stone wall of the rockery moved to the left, revealing a spacious stone gate, where two people could walk side by side.

Hu Xiangyi lit a torch to light up the front, and led the crowd down.

After walking not far, Lin Yun was stunned by the scene in front of him. He saw a huge underground warehouse in front of him. The foundation was made of rammed earth, covered with bluestone, and separated from the ground by wooden frames. There are layers of sacks, and the sacks must contain salt.

Hu Xiangyi took out his dagger, stabbed lightly on a sack, and then stretched out his hand to hold the salt flowing from the bag.

He tasted it with his fingers, then nodded to Lin Yun and said, "It is indeed table salt."

Lin Yun hurriedly asked: "How much stone salt do you estimate there is here?"

Hu Xiangyi walked quickly inside, measured the length and width, and then said to Lin Yun, "I estimate there are two to three million stones of table salt."

Lin Yun did some calculations in his mind. According to one stone and one tael of silver, there are almost 30 taels of private salt here, which is about the same as the silver bills brought by salt merchants.

Feng Ziying said emotionally from the side: "These people are so courageous that they actually built an underground private salt warehouse here to smuggle private salt."

Hu Xiangyi: "No wonder we have been unable to find any clues. It turns out that they used official ships to secretly traffic in private salt."

Lin Yun told Hu Xiangyi: "Brother Hu, you send someone back to report to my uncle, and ask him to send a boat to transport the salt away."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

Not long before Hu Xiangyi, Lin Yun heard Xiao Mo shouting from behind a shelf: "Master, come and take a look, there seems to be a secret door here."

Lin Yun was shocked when he heard the words, he ran over quickly, and saw Xiao Mo pointing at the back of a row of shelves, and said, "Third Master, there seems to be a secret door there."

When Feng Ziying heard this, she ran over immediately, and asked anxiously, "Where is the secret door?"

Xiao Mo: "It's blocked by the shelves, so if you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see it."

Feng Ziying hurriedly shouted to the two attendants: "Move the salt away quickly."

"Yes."

Two attendants climbed onto the shelf and hurriedly threw the salt off the shelf.

Soon, a secret door appeared in front of everyone.

Just as Feng Ziying was about to push the door open, Feng Xi shouted at him from the shelf: "Master, don't move around, let me open the door."

After speaking, he jumped off the shelf, pushed Feng Ziying away, and pressed on the door lightly.

Zhong Yi: "You all get out of the way."

After everyone escaped, Zhong Yi grabbed a salt bag and slammed it towards the door of the dark food.

There was a bang, and the door was knocked open by the salt bag.

Xiao Mo ran out from behind the salt pile and said with a smile, "Fortunately, there are no hidden weapons inside."

"I'll go in and take a look."

Feng Ziying couldn't wait to run into the dark room, and then exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Lin, come and take a look, there is a lot of money here."

Everyone rushed into the elegant room and saw more than a dozen boxes stacked near the wall. Feng Ziying had already opened one, revealing white silver ingots inside.

Feng Ziying grabbed a few silver ingots, said with a smile on her face, "It's a good deal now, and I won't have to worry about running out of silver when I go to Meixianglou in the future."

Lin Yun said contemptuously: "Look at how promising you are, how can you get so far? At most, a box is worth a few thousand taels of silver."

Feng Ziying: "A few thousand taels is not a lot."

Xiao Mo: "Third Master, there is a small box here. Could it be gold?"

Feng Ziying hurriedly said, "Let me take a look."

After finishing speaking, he quickly ran to Xiao Mo's side, reached out and opened the small box.

Immediately, he said depressedly again: "It's all jewelry worn by women,"

Lin Yun: "You can choose two and leave them to your future little wife."

"My family has a lot of these things. It's nothing rare. Silver is more affordable."

Lin Yun said to Feng Xi and Feng Hao again: "If you have a good match, you can choose two."

Feng Xi went up to pick out a gold hairpin, and said, "I want this."

Feng Hao: "I don't like those things."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the box containing the silver ingots with a longing look on his face.

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Feng Xi, Feng Hao, you have worked hard this time, and each of you can get 500 taels of silver as a reward."

The two said in surprise, "Thank you Mr. Lin."

Xiao Mo asked anxiously: "Third Master, can I also get 500 taels of silver?"

Lin Yun: "You are a child, what do you need so much money for? Take two ingots of ingots to buy candy, and I will save the rest for you first."

Xiao Mo said happily: "Third Master, will you save 500 taels for me?"

"good."

"That's good."

Xiao Mo quickly grabbed two silver ingots and stuffed them into his arms.

Lin Yun was about to ask Zhong Yi to take a share, but he said first: "I won't take any of this kind of ill-gotten gains."

"Stupid."

Feng Ziying came over and smiled at Lin Yun: "Brother Lin, I spend a lot of money, can you let me get more."

Lin Yun: "Okay, take as much as you can, don't ask others to help you."

"Uh."

Lin Yun said to Xiao Mo again: "Xiao Mo, bring me that jewelry box. There are many women in my family, so I just take this as a gift."

"Ok."

...

At this time, Hu Xiangyi hurried in and asked Lin Yun with a smile, "Master, how much money did you find?"

Lin Yun turned his head and said, "They are all here. They each divided 500 taels of silver. If you lead the team hard, you can take 1000 taels."

Hu Xiangyi said happily: "Thank you, young master."

Lin Yun said again: "The rewards of the soldiers must be distributed as soon as possible."

Hu Xiangyi nodded and said, "I know."

Lin Yun suddenly remembered again, and said, "By the way, you can bring General Dong's share to him."

Hu Xiangyi hurriedly asked: "How much?"

"Give it 2000 taels. After all, he is your immediate boss, so you can't lose him."

"Ok."

Feng Ziying: "What about the remaining money?"

Lin Yun said speechlessly: "Of course it has to be handed over to the court. Don't you want to get a full share?"

"Hehehe~"

Hu Xiangyi suddenly remembered and said, "My lord, Lu Zhuoyuan is dead."

"what?"

Hu Xiangyi: "Just now I went up to find someone to deliver the letter, and the soldiers guarding Lu Zhuoyuan told me that Lu Zhuoyuan was killed."

Lin Yun frowned when he heard that, all the guards in the village had been arrested, how could anyone kill Lu Zhuoyuan.

He recalled the letter he received in the Lin Mansion, and felt that the person who killed Lu Zhuoyuan and the expert messenger were probably the same person.

"Come on, let's go up and have a look."

Chapter 128: Unlucky

East of the city, Baifu.

At six o'clock in the morning, a war horse galloped to the outside of the east corner gate of the Baifu. Before the horse stopped, the general on the horse turned over and landed, and walked quickly to the gate.

The servant guarding the gate came up to him and asked, "General Xiong, what's the matter with you?"

General Xiong Shen said anxiously: "I have something very urgent, I have to go in and report it to the old man."

Servant: "Then just wait a moment, I will go in and report to you."

"I can't wait to tell you a fart."

General Xiong Shen stretched out his hand to pull, pushed away the servant guarding the gate, and walked quickly towards the mansion. ,

The servant chased him and shouted: "General Xiong, please stay, let the little one go in and pass on the news."

"Go away."

General Xiong Shen shouted angrily, then quickened his pace and walked towards the gate of the inner house.

...

In an elegant room of the inner house, the old master Bai Yuan was leaning on the grand teacher's chair, closing his eyes and listening to the beautiful sound of the zither coming from the opposite side.

Behind the piano table on the opposite side, a beautiful woman in red is flicking her jade fingers, plucking the strings gracefully.

Just when the old man was drowsy, there were several knocks on the door.
