[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

Chapter 13

When everyone saw this, Dang even took half a step back, an unknown official threw a torch into it in an instant, and at the same time drew out his saber and rushed in, followed by an official followed him.

He only heard the sound of knives and guns, and when Lin Ruhai walked in, he saw a man in black fighting with an official.

With swords, guns, swords and halberds blazing, the man in black was single and weak, outnumbered and finally subdued by the officials.Only then did Lin Ruhai see that there were many weapons around the secret room, and his heart sank immediately. Making weapons privately is a serious crime of treason.

Even if Lin Ruhai asked his subordinates to lock up this place, the relevant people were arrested and kept in prison.This night was destined to be restless, Lin Ruhai took a few people here to count the weapons and make a list, and they were busy until noon the next day before giving up temporarily.

After being busy for so long, as soon as Lin Ruhai returned to the yamen, he saw Tong Zhifu was already waiting for him.As soon as they met, they said, "Master Lin caught a big fish this time!"

Lin Ruhai was taken aback immediately, and once this happened, Lin Ruhai told the people below to keep their mouths shut, and only said to the outside world that he had caught Qiu Wannian stealing and selling illegal salt.

Seeing Lin Ruhai like this, Tong Zhifu simply said directly: "Lord Lin, don't be surprised, I only found out about this after asking my subordinates." Tong Zhifu said this, blinked his eyes and continued: "Why are you here? It's been too long in the position, and it's time to move. Don't worry, I won't publicize this matter."

Lin Ruhai thought that he had lent his manpower, so it was normal for him to inquire about a thing or two, so he simply didn't go into it, and just said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, this Qiu Wannian is a big salt merchant himself, why bother to do it?" This kind of family copying and extermination?"

Tong Zhifu sneered and said: "This person's background is a bit strange. I suggest that Mr. Lin should report this matter to the court earlier."

Lin Ruhai glanced at Tong Zhifu, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Naturally, it is not necessary for Tong Zhifu to raise the matter of reporting to the imperial court. The secret report was already on the way early in the morning.

But it is said that in Lin's mansion, Hongmei was detained in her own room early in the morning, and it was only said that Hongmei in the lady's room was seriously ill, so as not to infect the lady, she was specially arranged to go to a secluded place.

Regarding Qiu Wannian's incident outside, those who got the news only thought that he was arrested for smuggling salt, but no one made trouble.

The matter went smoothly at first, but he didn't want someone from the yamen to come in the middle of the night and say that the man in black who was caught was dead.As soon as Lin Ruhai got the news, she felt bad. Even though she called someone to go and see the warehouse, before the people arrived, she saw that the warehouse was on fire and waited for the fire to go out.

I saw that the inside had been burnt to a mess, and the secret passage had collapsed.Even if Lin Ruhai asked someone to dig it, he was busy for three days, but there was not a single weapon left in the secret passage.

When Lin Ruhai saw what happened in front of him, his eyes went dark and he almost fell down.He simply thought that he was still holding on to Qiu Wannian, and if he didn't believe him, he wouldn't move. Just as he was thinking this way, he saw the housekeeper of Tong Zhi's mansion coming over in sackcloth, and when he saw Lin Ruhai, he said with a sad face, "My lord went away yesterday."

Although Lin Ruhai had long thought about the depth of water behind Qiu Wannian, he didn't expect to be so bold, and immediately asked, "How did your lord get there?"

The housekeeper cried and said: "Last night, in the middle of the night, he vomited blood and died."

Lin Ruhai and Tong Zhifu had known each other for more than ten years, and this matter dragged him into the water again, Dang even felt so guilty that he passed out when his eyes went dark.

It had been two days since Lin Ruhai woke up, seeing Daiyu lying on the edge of his bed, Lin Ruhai couldn't bear it.Daiyu was just taking a break, but with Ruhai's movement, Daiyu naturally woke up, and when she saw her father, she wanted to call the doctor over.

Ru Hai was about to speak when he realized that he was speechless.There is a saying that goes well, after a long illness, Lin Ruhai has always been in poor health. Although he has been well maintained in the past few years, he now knows that it is time for him.

Seeing that her father was speechless, Daiyu held back her tears and only called for the doctor to come in.The doctor felt the pulse, and when he saw the old father and orphan daughter of the Lin family, he couldn't speak immediately.Seeing his hesitation, Daiyu immediately went to the outer room to talk with the doctor.

This doctor has a close relationship with the Lin family, so he naturally said the truth now, "Miss Lin, prepare for the funeral."

Daiyu was in a daze for a moment, she shook her body, leaned on the chair and said, "How is that possible!?"

The doctor couldn't bear it, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Miss Lin cherishes it, I'm afraid Lin's illness is man-made." The doctor looked at Daiyu's face and saw that she had calmed down a little at this moment, so he continued : "Master Lin's eyes are red and his nails are black. This is a sign of poisoning, and Mr. Lin must have been given this poison a few days ago. Why are you still panting until now? It is only because Mr. Lin has been drinking medicine all year round. It will be halved in Master Lin's body."

Lin Daiyu knew that the efficacy of the medicine would be halved for those who drink it all year round, and the same goes for poison. "Is there a cure for this poison?" Lin Daiyu asked calmly.

The doctor bowed towards Lin Daiyu and said, "Miss Lin, this old man is incompetent."

There was only a bang in the inner room, Lin Daiyu hurried in and saw half of Lin Ruhai lying on the ground.

The two servants in the room were looking at Lin Ruhai with horror on their faces, Daiyu immediately scolded: "How do you serve?" As she said that, she started to help her father, but Lin Ruhai grabbed Daiyu's hand , pointing towards the desk beside the bed.

Randomly, Lin Ruhai went limp.

Seeing that her father closed her eyes, Lin Daiyu burst into tears, the girl and woman next to her went up to help Daiyu, and the doctor helped Lin Ruhai back to the bed.

Seeing her only relative gone, Daiyu thought about what the doctor said, and died of poisoning.Thinking about the strangeness of the Tong Zhifu's death, his father must be because of this case.

If I hadn't done much, my father would not have found out about Qiu Wannian, and my father would not have died.Thinking of this, Daiyu knelt down in front of Lin Ruhai's bed.

Just at this moment, Butler Lin came and asked his mother-in-law to pass the news that someone from the capital had come.

The person who came here was none other than Takasaki.Hearing the crying in the room, Lin Butler knew something was wrong, and his eyes were red.Knowing that the situation was serious, Takasaki even passed Butler Lin and broke into the back room.

When everyone in the room saw a strange man coming in, they immediately wanted to drive him out.When Daiyu saw her, a glimmer of hope was ignited in her heart, she sternly asked everyone to retreat, and asked Lin Butler to guard outside the house.

Seeing Gao Qi, Dai Yu stepped forward to bow and said directly, "Save my father."

Gao Qi helped Daiyu up and said, "Miss Lin, please stand up, I will naturally try to help as much as I can."

Daiyu knew that Gao Qi had lived a heavy life just like herself, so she had nothing to hide from him, so she cried, "I killed my father, if I hadn't been troublesome, my father would not... "

Before Daiyu could say anything further, Gao Qi said directly: "You and I are both people who have lived a heavy life. I don't want to say more about this. I just advise you to live a good life."

Daiyu looked at Gao Qi, then turned to the desk by the window, opened the drawer, and there were a lot of pens and inkstones scattered in it.Daiyu took a look, then took out the whole drawer, and found a cloth bag in the crack of the drawer.Gao Qi opened it and saw that it was half an account book.

This account book was an unburned account book that Lin Ruhai accidentally discovered in the secret room, but unfortunately only half of it was found in the ashes.No one else knew about this half of the account book except Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai didn't put it in the pile of evidence, but put it alone in the crack of his bedroom desk.

Takasaki looked through it, and it contained detailed records of the weapons secretly built in Yangzhou over the past few years and the number shipped out every month, as well as the signature of the successor.

Lin Daiyu watched Gao Qi take the ledger and went up to snatch it. Gao Qi didn't expect Daiyu to do this, so he immediately said, "Give it to me."

Daiyu looked at Gao Qi, her face was pale, and she said with tears in her eyes: "My father brought this thing with all his might."

Gao Qi knew that Lin Daiyu was emotionally unstable, so he immediately lowered his posture and said, "Miss Lin, don't worry, I will definitely talk to the Holy Master."

Daiyu looked at Gao Qi, recalling her father's voice and appearance in her mind, she couldn't help but a sweet smell surged up, and she vomited a mouthful of blood.

Gao Qi was taken aback, looked at Lin Daiyu and laughed, but said in a very hoarse voice: "Master Gao, I will hand over this thing to the emperor myself."

Gao Qi saw that she was a little delirious, and guessed that she must be talking nonsense.Thinking about coaxing her for a while, he said: "Miss Lin, this matter is easy to handle, just give me the account book first."

Lin Daiyu glared at Gao Qi, held the account book in her hand and said: "I always thought my father was in poor health so he left early, but now I think it's because of this. I don't know about the things in my previous life, but now I understand, my father This is to die in allegiance." Lin Daiyu burst into tears as she spoke.

Seeing this, Gao Qi couldn't help feeling compassionate in his heart, and persuaded: "I understand Miss Lin's words, but the emperor also has difficulties. I will definitely report this matter to the emperor, but the girl is young, and there is nothing to do with it. I didn't understand it for a while."

Lin Daiyu looked at Gao Qi and said, "My father was still pointing at this thing before he left. I want to fulfill my father's behest, please Master Gao to fulfill it."

Gao Qi knew that Lin Daiyu had gotten into a dead end, and thought that he and Lin Ruhai were not the same, they both worked for the emperor.She has nothing to worry about, but Lin Ruhai still has a daughter left behind, and she happens to be an extremely intelligent person.

Seeing that Gao Qi was silent for a long time, Dai Yu turned around and knelt down in front of Lin Ruhai.

Gao Qi has always been somewhat informal, seeing Daiyu like this, he said: "It's not impossible to take you to see the emperor."
