The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Lin Mansion

Although this team was only a small team of dozens of people, it was arranged in an orderly manner. There were seven or eight guards scattered around the front and back, and there were twenty or thirty men with knives in the middle, guarding around several carriages.

When the two came to a spacious carriage, they saw a young man somewhat similar to Feng Ziying riding up to meet him, looking Lin Yun up and down.

Feng Ziying introduced to Lin Yun: "This is my elder brother, named Feng Boji."

Lin Yun clasped his fists in a salute and said, "Lin Yun met Brother Feng."

Feng Boji cupped his fists in return, and then gestured to the carriage behind him: "Brother Lin, please."

"Thank you."

Lin Yun thanked him, then stepped on the shaft of the carriage, turned over and jumped into the carriage.

When he walked into the carriage through the curtain, he saw a five-year-old man wearing a brocade robe sitting inside. He had a princely face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a short beard under his jaw. He must be the famous Shenwu General Feng Kang.

Feng Kang was sitting cross-legged on the soft cushion at the moment, holding a leather pouch in his hand, and he didn't know whether it contained wine or water.

Lin Yun cupped his fists and saluted, "My junior, Lin Yun, has met General Feng."

Feng Kang looked him up and down, and said, "Are you Lin Yun who wrote Ping Nance?"

"It's the junior."

"Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, General."

Lin Yun thanked him, and then sat down on the floor opposite Feng Kang.

After he sat down, Feng Kang raised the skin bag in his hand and asked him, "Would you like a drink?"

Lin Yun shook his head and said: "This junior will have to travel a long way later, so it is not appropriate to drink."

"Oh, where are you going?"

"Yangzhou."

Feng Kang looked at Lin Yun and asked, "Why did you come to see me?"

Lin Yun: "My uncle was hindered in cleaning up the salt class in Yangzhou. I heard that the general might be able to help my uncle, so I came here to beg the general for help."

Feng Kang chuckled and said, "You and I have always been plain, why should I help you?"

Lin Yun: "The general owes this junior a favor, shouldn't he repay it to me?"

Feng Kang jokingly said: "The favor you mentioned is not to let me go to Siam to suffer?"

Lin Yun said solemnly: "This matter may be to suffer for others, but for you, General, it is a rare opportunity."

"Oh, how do you see it?"

Lin Yun: "I see that the general's entourage only has a few dozen men and horses, but it is arranged in an orderly manner. It shows that you are a man who knows soldiers. This time we send troops to Siam, although there are only a few thousand men and horses, they are all elite soldiers and strong generals, and their firearms are also very good." It’s the latest style, if the general can seize the opportunity well, it will be easy to become famous in one battle.”

Feng Kang smiled and said: "You are very good at inspiring people, but unfortunately you have found the wrong partner. I have long lost interest in becoming famous."

"Uh."

Lin Yun's claws were numb now. Before coming, he thought about the other party's various reactions, but he didn't expect Feng Kang to have such an attitude.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to throw out his trump card and said, "General, do you still remember Mrs. Rong Guotai?"

Feng Kang: "So what if I remember, although I was a general of Duke Rong, I don't owe their Jia family any kindness."

Lin Yun was dumbfounded now, the co-author doesn't like hard and soft, so how can he play.

Feng Kang raised the wine bag, took a sip of the wine, and then said: "Go on, let me hear what you have to say."

Lin Yun stood up and said, "Since the general refuses to help, and the junior doesn't want to force it, let's take my leave."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Feng Kang taunted behind him: "If you choose to give up so easily, I doubt if you wrote the Ping Nance."

Lin Yun turned around and retorted: "Since the general wants to be wise and protect himself, what good is it for the junior to say more."

Feng Kang: "It's not that I want to protect myself wisely, but that uncle of yours is stupid and unworthy of my help."

Lin Yun said angrily: "It's fine if the general refuses to help, but why did you insult my uncle?"

Feng Kang sneered and said, "Am I wrong? Your uncle is backed by the emperor, but he has nothing to do with those private salt dealers. Do you think he is as stupid as a cow?"

Lin Yun thought to himself: "Is this person trying to wake me up?"

He hurriedly clasped his fists at the opponent and said, "Please tell the general clearly."

"Master Lin has lived in the temple for a long time, but he doesn't know the suffering of the people at the bottom."

Lin Yun was puzzled and couldn't figure out what the other party meant by these words.

Feng Kang scolded: "Idiot, as stupid as your uncle. Since you want to investigate private salt dealers, how can you break the situation if you don't go deep into the lower levels?"

Lin Yun suddenly realized: "Thank you General for your guidance, this junior knows where to start."

Feng Kang: "Since you already know, then hurry up and get out, don't affect the general's journey."

"Junior farewell."

Lin Yun cupped his fists and saluted, then turned around and walked out of the carriage.

Chapter 117: Entrust

Just as Lin Yun got out of the carriage, Feng Kang's voice sounded behind him, "Boy Yun, you are going to Yangzhou to do business, do you need help?"

Lin Yun's heart was moved when he heard the words, he thought for a while and said: "The general is right, the younger generation is lacking a peer who is familiar with the situation in Yangzhou to help, I think Ziying is very suitable, and I ask the general to help."

After Lin Yun finished speaking, he rushed to Feng Ziying, who was guarding the carriage, and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, the capital is full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. There is nothing interesting about it. Why don't you go back to Yangzhou with me, where you will be more at ease."

Feng Ziying glared at him, and said, "Master, I finally made it to the capital, and I'm a fool to go back to Yangzhou with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Feng Kang picking up the curtain with his hand, and said to him, "Ying'er, you can go back to Yangzhou with Kid Yun."

Feng Ziying said in surprise, "Father, have you lost your mind after drinking?"

Feng Kang said angrily: "Presumptuous! How dare you disobey my father's words?"

Lin Yun persuaded from the side: "Brother Feng, your father is going to lead troops to Siam soon. You are still young, so you can't follow him to fight in Siam?"

"This~"

Feng Kang ordered without any doubt: "Feng Xi, Feng Hao, you two will follow Ying'er back to Yangzhou."

The two generals ran forward, clasped their fists and said, "You respect your orders."

Feng Kang smiled at Lin Yun again: "Boy Yun, take good care of my son."

Lin Yun clasped his fists and promised: "General, don't worry, I will treat Ziying like a brother."

Feng Kang nodded slightly, and then ordered loudly: "Send the order and set off."

After giving the order, the team immediately started and moved forward along the official road.

...

Feng Ziying held the horse's reins and said angrily to Lin Yun: "Why do you insist that I accompany you back to Yangzhou?"

Lin Yun: "This is what your father meant, what can I do?"

Feng Ziying: "Then why didn't you choose my elder brother to accompany you back to Yangzhou?"

Lin Yun: "At the beginning of next year, your father will lead troops to Siam. He is worried that you will cause trouble if you stay in the capital alone, so let me take you back to Yangzhou, understand?"

After a pause, Lin Yun said again: "I just need a helper, and you are very familiar with Yangzhou, so it's just right to be my helper."

Feng Ziying said with a dark face: "I won't help you."

"You will help me, because this is your old man's order."

...

At this moment, Feng Ziying's brother ran out of the team and rushed to Feng Ziying on horseback.

Feng Ziying hurried forward and asked her elder brother, "Brother, did my father change his mind and want me to go back?"

Feng Boji took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to Feng Ziying, "Second brother, this is what my mother asked me to give to you. You take it away."

"Brother, will you follow your father to fight in Siam?"

Feng Boji: "Brother, I will stay in the capital to serve my mother. Second brother, you must be careful outside from now on, and don't fight with others anymore."

"Little brother remembers."

"Then I'll take my leave, brother."

Feng Boji greeted Lin Yun with his hands clasped together, then he turned his horse's head and galloped away.

After the team in front had left, Lin Yunba turned his horse's head and said, "Let's go too."

Feng Ziying rode up to catch up with him and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Do you know anyone from the Salt Gang?"

"I know a few of them. However, they all got to know each other after arguing in Meixiang Building."

"Just get to know each other. I'll invite you to Meixianglou for a drink some other day."

Feng Ziying said in surprise: "You asked me to help you to go to brothels with you?"

"That's right, your task is to go to the Meixiang Tower to fight with the members of the Salt Gang."

Feng Ziying thought for a while and said, "I'm going to fight with members of the Salt Gang, and then you come out to save people and help them beat me together, right?"

Lin Yunle said: "Not bad, you have a good brain. However, it's not me who stood up to save people, but Zhong Yi."

"That's not the same thing. You just want to find an excuse for someone to beat me up, right?"

"Uh, why do you think so? I want Zhong Yi to go to the Salt Gang to inquire about information, not to trick you on purpose."

"That doesn't work either. Young master, I'm well-known in Yangzhou City. I'm the only one who beats people, and no one beats me."

"Just this time. You suffer a little, and I'll make it up to you later, and help you find a little beauty."
