Red Mansions Counterattack Raiders

The old lady in Beijing was shocked when she received the letter!How dare Lin Ruhai send the person she sent to prison? !As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, which family like theirs has something to discuss?A balance of mutual interests can naturally solve the problem. She was also very angry because Lin Ruhai didn't give her face. Seeing that her only daughter was haggard like an old woman, she hated the Lin family even more, so she came up with a stupid trick to ask Lai Da to rectify it. If you punish your son-in-law, where will you make trouble in the government?This is really embarrassing and embarrassing!

Jia's mother fell ill in a fit of rage, and Jia Min lived in the yard before she got married, not far from her, and soon got the news, so she asked someone to carry her to visit on a bamboo chair.Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng were all there. When they saw her, they only asked with a calm face, but no one came forward. Jia Min ignored them, and asked someone to sit on the edge of the bed, holding Jia Mu's hand and crying: " Mother, but is there any news about the people who went to Yangzhou? It’s all due to the unfilial daughter, and you are so tired.”

Mother Jia was not feeling well, she leaned on the soft pillow and patted her hand to comfort her: "It's none of your business, it's the Lin family who are heartless and ungrateful, I should have refuted your father's words and refused to let you marry, really It really hurt my son. That Lin Hai refused to hand over people, not to mention that he put all the people I sent in jail. He slapped me in the face. I think he didn't want to recognize this in-law, and he became more and more confused. gone."

Mrs. Xing muttered gloatingly, "Accordingly, the two children belong to the Lin family, and Brother Jin is still the only child of the Lin family. My uncle would not be willing. Why should we separate father and son with this hatred?"

Jia Mu glared at her, "Shut up! If you don't separate their father and son, your sister will have to endure the pain of being separated? That is your sister's child, no different from our family's child."

Mrs. Wang twirled the beads in her hand, and said, "What the old lady said is that my sister's child is naturally not an outsider, but my sister came back to Beijing this time to recover from illness. I heard that the two children are also recovering from illness in Yangzhou, so I am afraid that the journey will be troublesome." If you haven't come, why don't you give birth first, in the future when the younger sister is healthy, she will naturally be reunited with the family."

Jia Min gave Mrs. Wang a sideways look, and couldn't tell if Lin Ruhai had fallen out with Lin Ruhai. It was impossible for Lin Ruhai to take her back. How could they be reunited?She has suffered in the Lin family for so many years, and she has given birth to two children for the Lin family, but now she is sent back to her natal family. Isn't her life in vain?She decided to take the child over to make Lin Ruhai regret treating her like this.But the inside story can't be said, what reason does she have to ask her natal family to rob someone?

Jia Mu was also at a loss for words, and finally waved her hands in boredom, "The most important thing now is to get Lai Da out, and we'll talk about it later."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "It's not easy? There is Zhen's family in the south of the Yangtze River. Let's mention it to Mrs. Zhen, and the matter will be over. Don't worry about it, old lady. Take care of your body. The same goes for my aunt, but the imperial doctor told me not to worry too much. Rest in peace."

"Then tell the Zhen family, let's stay far away, so as not to send people to make trouble, the Zhen family will always be more convenient." Jia Mu was about to rest after speaking, and Jia Min didn't even stay. What he was thinking about was not how to snatch the grandson he had never seen before, but how to keep the Jia family's reputation and not spread anything.

Jia Min was carried back to the yard to recuperate again. Wang Xifeng looked at her back and said to Mrs. Wang: "Fortunately, I was clever and let the second master pretend to be sick and hide, otherwise the one who is thrown into the prison now may be the second master. Really It’s nothing to look for, how can anyone rob their own children?”

Mrs. Wang sneered, "Come back to recuperate. She said it nicely. It is said that the companions who came back with her were locked up in the Zhuangzi in Yangzhou. Maybe she made some mistakes. They only need a divorce letter. Looking at the battle we The power of the family helped her snatch the child, I didn't expect my uncle to be a hard bone, even if he resigned from office, he can't chew on it."

"Now that Lai Da is in prison, he may delay our girl in the future. I don't know what the old lady thinks. I don't think this matter should be dealt with."

"It's not appropriate to worry about it, but Lai Da still wants to get it out. It just so happens that Mrs. Zhen and I have something to say, so let's do it along the way."

After Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhen communicated with each other, Mrs. Zhen immediately sent someone to the yamen to fetch them. Lai Da lost a lot of weight, was extremely haggard, and his feet were a little lame.Seeing this, the members of Zhen's family asked displeasedly, "What's going on? Are you sentenced?"

The cell boss smiled and cupped his hands: "Misunderstanding, this man is not used to eating and living in the prison, he must have been starving, and when he fell and twisted his foot, we will not use torture, otherwise you can see that he is not injured. "

The man saw that there were really no scars on Lai Da's face and hands, so he didn't ask any more questions, and took him back to Zhen's Mansion. He didn't care about the others, and the superior only told him to take Lai Da back.

Lai Da was rescued, and Lin Ruhai immediately received the news. What he didn't expect was that it was the Zhen family who saved him. So the Zhen family and the Jia family have such a good relationship?And the magistrate didn't mention this matter to him afterwards, which is a bit unusual. The few people he monitored belonged to the magistrate who had the least contact with the Zhen family, but the reality is that the magistrate released the important person of the Zhen family, and later also Refusing to see him was obviously because the Zhen family wanted to alienate him.

Lin Ruhai carefully thought about the information collected in the past few months, and finally focused on the prefect and Master Zhen, and reassigned several people under his command.Now it is not only the six beggars who are hypnotized by him, but also the concierge of the magistrate and Zhen's family, and the underlings of the salt merchant. They are all unobtrusive and convenient for him to collect information. Almost done.

After a few more days of monitoring, Lin Ruhai finally found out that the magistrate changed his clothes one night and went out from the back door to an inn to meet Master Zhen!After the beggar reported the letter, Lin Ruhai hurried to the inn to hypnotize Xiao Er in a corner. After Xiao Er went to exchange tea for the magistrate and tried to eavesdrop, he got an important piece of news—the ledger!The magistrate has a ledger in his hand!

Although I just overheard such an unclear sentence, I can tell from their nervousness what kind of ledger it is. After returning home, Lin Ruhai immediately started planning how to get the ledger and bring them to justice, so that he can Liberated!But he tried several methods but failed, it was easy to be exposed, and he was fine with it. It should be fine to follow Imperial Physician Wang, but the two children are too young, even if they are well protected, the children can't stand the toss when they run away.

Just when Lin Ruhai was at a loss, he received another message that Lai Da had been injured for a few days and was about to return to Beijing. The Zhen Mansion also assigned ten guards, and the ruts at the back of the two carriages were very deep. There are not people in the carriage, but heavy objects.

Lin Ruhai felt that his spy work became more and more proficient, and his hypnosis progressed rapidly. After he received the news, he came up with an idea to let a group of beggars outside the city pretend to be refugees to catch up with Lai Da from the small road to grab food. The horse was startled and the carriage was overturned. Several boxes in the carriage fell to the ground, and then they scattered as if they were afraid of the weapons of the guards. The guards would not chase after them for things.

Things went as smoothly as Lin Ruhai imagined. The beggar near the carriage heard the sound of porcelain breaking when two boxes were overturned. The other two boxes were extremely heavy, probably gold and silver.

It is not easy for Lin Ruhai to investigate the relationship between the Zhen family and the Jia family. The Jia family is in the capital, so he just needs to report the truth to the emperor.The truth came out immediately, Lin Ruhai acted more cautiously, and the mask on his face looked more real.

This time the emperor's reply was quick, but Lin Ruhai had seen the commander of the guards deliver it in person, and brought three guards and a token.

Lin Ruhai took the golden lacquer token from the commander and stared at the word "imperial envoy" on it, dumbfounded, "Commander Wei, is this?"

Commander Wei arched his hands expressionlessly, "Lord Lin, the emperor ordered me to come and help you. If you have something to do, just give orders."

Lin Ruhai looked at him and Wang Taiyi, and then suppressed all emotions and dismantled the secret order to see that the matter of the emperor's investigation of Jiangnan officials was leaked in the palace, and now he is appointed as an imperial envoy, and four people are sent by him. There are two officials in Jiangnan, one civil and one military, who will also help him. It is necessary to find evidence before the other party reacts.

Lin Ruhai wanted to scold someone. He had been careful for so long, but the emperor made a mistake. Who is in the palace?Concubine Zhen!The Zhen family has a lot of influence in the south of the Yangtze River, and they knew that he was secretly investigating. Will his family survive?Lin Ruhai became anxious. The only thing he could be thankful for was that everyone didn't know who the imperial envoy was, and they were still guessing which emperor's confidant in Beijing was sent here, and others didn't know that he had investigated so much.

Lin Ruhai was in no mood to greet Commander Wei anymore, he urgently needed to save the lives of his sons and daughters.If he didn't know that the Jia family would be defeated, and the child would die of anger in the Jia family, he might have sent the child to Beijing long ago, after all, his job was fatal.He has no one else to entrust, so now he can only think of his own way.

Lin Ruhai asked a stranger to go to a remote place in Lin County to buy a small house under the name of the housekeeper's son, and asked the housekeeper's son and daughter-in-law to move in.Then one night, they quietly sent Lin Daiyu and Lin Jin to live in two inconspicuous rooms in the backyard, under the care of Mo Ju and Wei Zi, and sent two guards to protect them.

Lin Ruhai sat the two children side by side on the bed, took their hands and coaxed them: "Father wants to renovate our mansion, you will live here for a month first, remember to stay with Mo Ju, Wei Zi and the others all the time Son, dad will come to pick you up soon."

Lin Daiyu asked suspiciously: "The mansion is very good, Dad, why do we need to rebuild it?"

Lin Jin's eyes lit up, and he shouted happily: "Father, is there something fun? Something more fun than a slide?"

Lin Ruhai smiled, "Yes, Dad wants to give you a surprise, but this is not your home after all, you have to be obedient and not let Dad worry?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and promised, "Don't worry, Dad, I will take care of my younger brother, we will wait for you to pick us up, don't be too tired, Dad."

"Okay, take your younger brother to learn what my father taught you every day, and you must keep practicing Wu Qinxi..." Lin Ruhai told many trivial things again, and smiled when she saw Lin Daiyu nodding obediently. If he hadn't done it in the month, his life would probably be lost. At that time, he would let the housekeeper's son and his family take the two children to live in another place. I hope that day will not come.

When returning to the city, not far outside the city, Lin Ruhai heard women crying and men shouting and cursing, so he knocked on the carriage and told the driver to stop, "Guan Yan, go and see what happened."

After a while, when Guan Yan reported back, his face was full of anger, "Master, someone over there is robbing the women!"

"Oh?" Lin Ruhai glanced at the city gate, logically speaking it was not far away, and the faint voice could still be heard, why no one came out to take care of it?He got out of the carriage and walked over, his eyes narrowed when he saw it, it was Chen Jiu, the servant next to the magistrate, whom he had just met a while ago!

He watched as Chen Jiu pulled the woman on the ground to leave, and the woman's parents knelt down and begged, "I beg you to give me a few more days, and the little one will be able to collect the money and pay it back!"

Chen Jiu sneered, and looked at them with disdain, "The profit will be doubled in three days, you can think about it, if you still can't get it by then, then it won't be as simple as just you as a girl!"

"What? Double the price?" The pleading woman screamed, collapsed and cried bitterly on the ground.

The old man also cried, "God damn it, you will die! You will die when you borrowed it, you clearly said that you don't want profit, and you bully us for being illiterate!"

Chen Jiu was annoyed by him, and he was about to kick him.At this time Lin Ruhai came out from behind the tree, "Slow down!"

"Who dares to take care of my business?" Chen Jiu turned around and saw that it was Lin Ruhai. He was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said coldly, "It turned out to be Master Lin. I will pursue the money they owe me. It's only natural that Master Lin will Don't worry too much, will you?"

Lin Ruhai glanced at the desperate woman in his hand, and asked: "Since it's just about money, don't make a fuss. I met you today, so I have to take care of it. How much money do they owe you?"

Chen Jiu said with a sullen face: "Master Lin must take care of it to the end today?"

"nature."

"That's good, 100 taels of silver." Chen Jiu was too disrespectful to Lin Ruhai, so he let go of the woman and exchanged the bank notes and IOUs with Guanyan. Before leaving, he said, "I heard that Master Lin offended you." The Zhen family, it is better to take care of yourself when you have free time, rather than meddling in other people's affairs."

Lin Ruhai looked at Chen Jiu's back with a pensive expression on his face. The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, Chen Jiu was just the magistrate's personal servant, and he was arrogant enough outside, even daring to rob people's daughters.

"This... this master..." The old man dragged the woman and the woman to the side tremblingly, not knowing what to do, seeing that the villain had really left, he dared not speak out.

Lin Ruhai came back to his senses, and hurriedly asked Guan Yan to return the IOU to the old man, "Old man, it's all right, destroy this IOU, and he won't come to trouble you."

The old man hurriedly took the IOU with both hands, and confirmed it carefully. It was indeed the one he had seen before. He couldn't help crying, and tore up the IOU with trembling hands, "My benefactor! Thank you benefactor! Our family You will be rewarded if you act like a cow or a horse."

Lin Ruhai shook his hands and smiled, "Old man is serious, I just met him passing by, so don't take it to heart, it's just that Chen Jiu... Do you know how he usually behaves?"

Mentioning the old man Chen Jiu, he was very excited, and said angrily, "Who in our village doesn't know him? He used to be a boy in our village, and he was sold when his family was poor. I didn't expect that after all these years, he would He is back again, and he is still a popular person in front of the prefect! On weekdays, whenever he is free, he will go to our village to do his best and bully the villagers. After a few times, we all know that he is not a good person, and we will stay away when we see him Yes. He, he, he saw my daughter from nowhere, and asked someone to set up this trap to snatch my daughter when my son was seriously ill. We only found out today that he is a creditor, what a pity..."

The woman tugged at his sleeve and whispered: "Don't talk so much, we won't be able to offend you."

The old man hurriedly stopped and lowered his head dejectedly, "Master, Chen Jiu is a heartless bastard. You helped us just now. I don't know if he will hold grudges against you. You'd better be careful."

Lin Ruhai nodded and smiled, "Don't worry about me, old man. It's you, I'm afraid Chen Jiu won't let it go."

"This is easy to handle. We originally planned to go to relatives. We just went back and packed our things and left earlier."

"That being the case, I will not delay the old man, and leave."

"Master, go slowly, thank you for your kindness, we will light an ever-burning lamp for you to pray for you, thank you so much..."

Lin Ruhai could still hear the old man's grateful shout when he got into the carriage, he thought for a while, and said to Guan Yan: "Chen Jiu will definitely not stop here, and he will find trouble with the old man later, you send two people on the way to the village Wait, when you see Chen Jiuli knocks out, shuts his mouth and hides quietly, so that no one will see him."

Guan Yan was surprised and said: "Master, you still have to take care of this matter? Although Chen Jiu is just a slave, but he seems to have been serving the magistrate for a long time. If you touch him, you may offend the magistrate, master think twice. "

Lin Ruhai shook his head, "No, I have other important things to do with him, you should do it quietly, don't be seen by others, and don't be known by Commander Wei and Doctor Wang."

Guan Yan heard the words and stopped persuading, "Yes, the servant will do it immediately."

When he returned to the Lin Mansion, two children were missing. Lin Ruhai somehow felt that the house was much more empty. He stood under the tree and sighed quietly, and said a few medicinal materials to the butler behind him, "See if there are any in our mansion. Are there any?" If you want to send it to my room immediately, I need it urgently, and I need to dispense medicine tonight, and ask someone to guard the door so that no one will disturb you."

"Yes, don't worry, master." The butler already knew the identities of Commander Wei and Imperial Physician Wang, and he was moved by Lin Ruhai's trust in him, and he became more cautious in doing things.

Since Lin Ruhai received the emperor's secret decree, she felt deeply that she was in crisis, so when she was studying medicine, she pestered Wang Taiyi to make several medicines. ".When Lin Ruhai saw Chen Jiu today, he thought of the idea of ​​stealing the account book. Chen Jiu had served the magistrate for many years, and his brains were flexible and his skills were good, so it was perfect for him to steal it.But Chen Jiu is also not easy to be hypnotized because of the many things he has experienced.Lin Ruhai's current hypnotism is still at the level of hypnotizing ordinary people, so he thought that using it together with intoxication and acupuncture should take some effort.

Lin Ruhai concentrated on mixing the medicine for two hours, and it was only when the sky was pale that a small bottle of intoxication was prepared.He glanced at the sky, put away the drunkenness and lay down on the bed to sleep.He didn't know when Chen Jiu would be caught, but Chen Jiu definitely couldn't disappear for too long, so he had to recharge his energy and maintain a vigorous state at all times, otherwise even if he was caught, he wouldn't be able to hypnotize him.

Stealing the account book is dangerous, and the danger is not small. He didn't have any plan before because he didn't know how to avoid the danger. He didn't expect to meet Chen Jiu who did evil, and was a villain who was not punished by the neighboring government. He hypnotized such a person to do dangerous things When things happen, it is a good thing for everyone if it succeeds, but if it fails, getting rid of a villain is also a good thing.

Lin Ruhai tried his best to let go of his thoughts and gradually fell asleep. This time he slept until noon when he was woken up by Guan Yan who hurried back to the mansion, "Master, I caught it!"

Lin Ruhai quickly turned over and sat up, walked out while putting on clothes, and said anxiously: "Quick! Take me there!"

Guan Yan led Lin Ruhai to go back, "Master, Commander Wei has gone to Dr. Wang's medicine garden at this moment, we shouldn't disturb them if we go through the back door."

Lin Ruhai nodded and didn't say any more. There was a carriage parked at the back door. Lin Ruhai got into the carriage and set off immediately. He quickly rushed to a wood outside the city. He got off the car and trotted in with Guan Yan. With his arms tied behind his back and his mouth gagged, he passed out on the ground, with two servants guarding him.

Lin Ruhai took a step forward and tore off the rag from Chen Jiu's mouth, lifted his chin and poured the drunk into it, letting him swallow it all.After a while, Chen Jiu opened his eyes, but his eyes were out of focus, and he was in a daze.Lin Ruhai asked Guan Yan and the others to wait outside, and sat on the ground facing Chen Jiu by himself, pierced the acupuncture points on his head with silver needles, then stared into his eyes and began to slowly hypnotize him, "There is no food at home. So I can only sell you for money to buy food, otherwise your brothers will not be able to survive, why are you sold instead of them..."

Lin Ruhai caught his hesitation when he was sold and broke through his defenses. After half an hour, he successfully implanted deep hints into Chen Jiu. After that, his biggest goal was to steal the prefect's bribery account books until the prefect was brought to justice. until.

After the hypnosis, Lin Ruhai was already sweating profusely, and his face was pale, startled Guan Yan who heard the voice running in, "Master, what's wrong with you? Master!"

Lin Ruhai shook his head weakly, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just used some acupuncture techniques, and I'm too focused, just go back home and get some sleep," he said, pointing at Chen Jiu, "Help him clean up, don't let him People see something wrong and send it to the city immediately."

Guan Yan looked at him worriedly, not daring to delay his important matter, and hastily followed his instructions.

When Lin Ruhai returned home, Commander Wei and Imperial Physician Wang were waiting for him. Immediately after seeing him, Imperial Physician Wang stood up, "You've always been in good health, what's wrong? But you're injured? Do you want me to look after you?" look?"

Commander Wei frowned and said, "Master Lin, now you are an imperial envoy, you must tell me when you go out in the future, I will protect your safety."

Lin Ruhai smiled and waved his hands, "Don't worry, you two, I'll be fine after a short rest."
