Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 111 Lord Lin is a divine being, please ascend to heaven!

"Governor, several officials have sent people to ask, what should we do now?"

"The salt merchants are now as desperate as mad dogs. They won't let go even if you beat them."

"Everyone is a little overwhelmed."

"The big guys from the capital are still eyeing us covetously. No one dares to suppress us too much."

"If all else fails, can we ask the garrison to mobilize the guards and raid a few houses?"

……

Governor Fang sat upright, half-closed his eyes, stroking his jade ring with his fingers, and listening to the chattering of the people in the hall.

When everyone finished discussing, they all looked at him for advice.

He opened his eyes and suddenly asked,

"Lin Ruhai, what have you been doing recently?"

Someone immediately stood up to answer.

"Master Fang, speaking of this Lin Ruhai, he is a freak. Ever since he received that damn memorial, he has been like a turtle hiding in his shell."

"Work diligently, never complain, never be late or leave early."

"When assigning work, just say 'hmm' or 'ha'. No more words."

This person looked extremely angry after he finished speaking.

Governor Fang asked with a sullen face, "Can't you find any fault?"

The official below frowned and said, "It's difficult. The key is that he has become very popular in the backyard since his coquettish performance at the Lantern Festival."

He was embarrassed to say that if he said anything bad about Lord Lin at home, he would draw sarcastic looks from his wives and concubines.

It's like you are a piece of trash and yet you dare to laugh at others. This is pure envy and jealousy.

Governor Fang stared at him with cold eyes.

It seems to be saying that you are incompetent and really a waste!

"Is there really anyone in this world who is innocent?" Governor Fang's voice was so cold and piercing that it penetrated his ears.

Some of the officials below were timid. They began to sweat on their foreheads and their bodies began to tremble.

"Yes! He did nothing. No one has participated in the past few months." An official blurted out after a long time.

Although Governor Fang was getting a little impatient waiting, he was also amused by the idiots under his command.

"You really want him to join the team!"

"Are you itching for him to not join in?"

"If he were to join the team now, would everyone here be on the list?"

"However," Governor Fang changed his tone and tapped the armrests of the chair with his knuckles.

"Gossiping is also an addiction. If someone who loves to gossip about others doesn't do it now, it only proves that he has not found the evidence."

"Then let's all collectively report him for his inaction, put him on the fire, and roast him out of Yangzhou."

There was a military officer below who said this with a bit of disapproval.

"What are you doing with all this crap? It's so long-winded."

"A thousand calculations are not as good as killing him with one sword."

"I will send a group of guards to ambush him on the road he must pass and kill him as soon as he is dead."

"Who wants revenge on him?"

"Those big men in the capital are like cats that chase after fish. If they are frightened, they will tuck in their tails."

"Those salt merchants are mice. They regard the cat as their backer."

"Once those cats are gone, we local tyrants will still be able to swallow them up."

"They were devoured until not even a bone was left."

Governor Fang glanced at him and said, "Okay, Commander Jiang, it's great that you have this intention."

"In advance of doing this, you have to be fully prepared to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"You're right. We are just a little bit cautious. If we do something small, it will be like a tiger that doesn't show its power and is regarded as a sick cat."

“You can’t tell whether it’s a cat or a tiger by looking at its tail, you have to look at its mouth.”

"He who is narrow-minded is not a gentleman, and he who is not vicious is not a man!"

"If you do this well, your share will increase."

……

In a few days, Shen Zheng will be dismissed from his post.

Lin Ruhai in the yamen began to pack up his things slowly, waiting until almost half of the people had left.

Then he lifted his foot and walked out.

It is not good to leave too early, and it is also not convenient to leave too late.

"Master Lin, Master Lin, wait a moment. It's already spring, and it's my birthday. I'll treat you today. How about we not leave Zuixianlou until we're drunk?"

"Besides, I will retire next month. This is probably the last time I can meet with you all. I wonder if Lord Lin will give me this honor?"

A good old man from the yamen stopped Lin Ruhai.

This good old man was one of the few in the yamen who could talk to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai hurriedly shook his head and refused, "Master Hao, I'm really sorry, I have something else to do at home, so I didn't know it was your birthday. I'll bring the gift over tomorrow morning."

"I will make you satisfied as a token of my apology."

Lin Ruhai made up his mind and decided to take a valuable gift from home.

Hearing Lin Ruhai's excuse, the old man's face darkened and he was filled with shame and indignation.

"Master Lin is a god-like figure, but you also look down on me. The tea has gone cold before I even left?"

The people around him also chimed in, "Master Lin, even though you are henpecked, it's a bit too much for you not to attend Old Hao's birthday party."

"You are doing this to the detriment of the unity of the government. No one wants to work with you. Why don't you apply for a transfer?"

"Yes! Lord Lin, that's enough. If you refuse again, it will be fine."

“I didn’t expect that the self-righteous Lin Ruhai is just a mediocre person who tramples on ordinary people!”

Lin Ruhai looked at everyone in the yamen, and then looked at Lao Hao's ashamed and angry face.

It seems that I have to go today.

He told his followers to go home and tell them that he would be back late today.

"Let's go! Lao Hao!"

The entire yamen followed Lao Hao happily and went to Zuixianlou.

……

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

These government officials, who were usually quite reserved, began to let loose at this moment.

"Old Hao, drinking alone is boring! Why don't you find some girls to join in the fun?"

"Good! Good! Good!" Old Hao, the good old man, was drunk and his tongue was big.

He slapped the table and shouted "good"

"You all are here to give me...my face."

"I have never had face in my life. Today I am...satisfied and happy."

"If I am satisfied, then everyone will be satisfied too."

"Dude"

……

After saying this, Lord Hao was about to call for help.

When Lin Ruhai saw that it was getting late, he immediately stood up and said to Lao Hao.

"Brother Hao, I do have something to do. I'm really sorry, but I have to go."

Old Hao smiled mysteriously when he heard this, "I understand. Are you afraid of your wife? Go ahead, go ahead, and be careful on the road!"

"The immortals will be promoted to immortals soon...!"

After saying this, the big tongue began to wander around.

I don’t know whether to be happy or sad?

Lin Ruhai frowned, said hello apologetically to everyone inside, then said goodbye and left.

……

A green sedan was swaying in the middle, with two servants in front holding lamps to lead the way, and four guards following closely behind.

On the way back to the Lin Mansion, we passed an alley called Jing'an Alley, which means a quiet alley as the name suggests.

This lane is about 100 meters long.

It is especially quiet tonight, with barely even the sound of insects.

The lantern boy's eyes were shining and he looked around as he walked.

Ten meters deep...

Twenty meters...

Thirty meters

……

"Dang! Dang!"

Suddenly two stones flew out from the darkness.

Both lanterns went out at the same time.

It's black in front of you.

"No! Back off!"

The four guards quickly separated, surrounded the sedan chair, and led it to retreat slowly.

However, the opponent did not give us time to retreat.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh"

Arrows flew towards the sedan chair like locusts.

Several guards rushed left and right, slowly retreating towards the wall while fighting. The two servants rolled on the ground and lay prone.

"Ping! Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound of weapons hitting arrows was like heavy rain.

Accompanied by the sound of "Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh" the arrows were flying.

There were also the guards' screams of "Ah! Ah!"

The guards who were shot by arrows fell to the ground one after another.

In an instant, there was no one standing at the scene. Everyone lay down and there was no movement.

The archers on the wall looked at each other.

Too fast! Are they all dead?

The most important of these is

The person in the sedan died silently?

Not even a scream?

……

"One team will guard the head of the alley, one team will guard the end of the alley, and the rest will be responsible for collecting the bodies."

"Let's go!" a leader ordered the people around him.

A group of people slowly approached the lying guards and first dealt with those who were able to resist.

Ten steps...

Five steps...

step……

The leader raised the machete in his hand and stabbed at the lying person.

Poof! The knife went in, but nothing happened.

really dead?
