Quick travel: the leisurely life of cannon fodder

Evening at the Lin Mansion!

Dozens of dark shadows were stealthily moving around in the Lin residence in the dark night.

"Oh!"

More than a dozen figures holding knives broke into Lin Ruhai's room.

"Come here, there's an assassin!"

Afterwards, the guards and secret guards of the Lin Mansion started fighting with the assassin.

"Ping-Pong!"

There were flashes of swords and the two sides fought fiercely, with each sword aiming at the vital points.

Lin Ruhai lay quietly on the bed, not moving at all!

On the other side of the Lin Mansion, in Lin Ruhai’s study!

Several men in black began to rummage through the drawers!

After a while, a man in black found a thick booklet from a secret compartment.

The man in black opened it and was delighted. He put it in his arms and wanted to leave.

At this time, a team of guards came over and immediately shouted, "Catch the thief!"

Immediately afterwards, the two sides started fighting.

An Yi started fighting with the man in black!

"Bang!"

Somehow, the two men's knives flew out, and then they started fighting with bare hands.

An Yi reached out and took a booklet. Seeing this, the man in black reached out and grabbed the other side. The two of them tore the book in two.

The half in An Yi's hand slipped and fell directly into the brazier.

An Yi's face changed drastically, and when he was about to reach out to take it out towards the fire, a light flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he reached out and grabbed An Yi's hand.

"asshole!"

An Yi cursed out directly.

"Take out the evidence from the brazier!"

As An Yi spoke, he started fighting with the man in black.

Upon seeing this, the other guards immediately reached out to grab it, but were entangled by the men in black. In the end, they could only watch the evidence being burned before their eyes.

While cursing loudly, An Yi attacked more fiercely and tried to snatch the half remaining booklet from the man in black.

Seeing that he couldn't win, the man in black suddenly had an idea. He threw the remaining half of the book into the brazier. After watching the evidence burn, he shouted, "Retreat!"

The guards of the Lin residence chased after them, but in the end a few men in black managed to escape.

After the fight, Mu Xi and Lin Daiyu rushed over anxiously.

"Daddy, are you okay?"

Lin Daiyu and Mu Xi asked worriedly.

Steward Lin said respectfully, "Miss, the assassin did not hurt the master."

Mu Xi nodded after hearing this, examined Lin Ruhai, and then went back with Lin Daiyu.

The people from the Lin residence also began to clean up the area after the fight.

......

After the man in black returned, he knelt in front of Master Zhou and said respectfully and coldly, "Master, we found the most important evidence, but we didn't bring it back. During the fight, we threw it directly into the brazier and burned it."

When Mr. Zhou heard that the evidence was gone, he first smiled, then asked, "Are you sure it's the most important evidence?"

The man in black replied respectfully, "Master, I found it in a secret compartment. After checking it, it is indeed the most important evidence."

Upon hearing this, Lord Zhou fell into deep thought. He felt that things went somewhat smoothly tonight, but he couldn't tell where the problem was.

Then he waved his hand and let the man in black go, thinking of discussing it with other people tomorrow.

The next day, in a private room, several people discussed for a while and finally decided to send someone into the Lin Mansion to search again.

Afterwards, they found that the guards at the Lin Mansion were even stricter. After much difficulty getting in, it didn't take long before the two sides fought several times.

In the end, the man in black could only flee in defeat.

After Lord Zhou sent people to investigate the Lin Mansion at night several times without success, he felt relieved, thinking that the most important evidence had been destroyed and Lin Ruhai was almost dead, and concentrated on preparing to welcome the emperor.

.......

Half a month passed quickly!

The emperor has arrived in Yangzhou Prefecture!

Lin Ruhai secretly handed all the evidence to the emperor!

"Oh!"

"Insatiable!"

The emperor looked through the evidence and became angrier the more he looked!

Afterwards, an imperial physician was sent to treat Lin Ruhai and detoxify him, and then the news that Lin Ruhai had been detoxified spread.

......

When Lord Zhou learned that Lin Ruhai was about to recover, he thought to himself that he had fallen into a trap and was doomed. He thought that Lin Ruhai was probably not really poisoned before, and the destruction of any evidence was just for his own good, in order to appease him and his people.

Afterwards, Lord Zhou started thinking about how to escape.

Before Lord Zhou could figure out what to do, the emperor handed the matter over to his son this time.

The fourth and fifth princes, along with their soldiers, quickly arrested all the corrupt officials, searched their homes, and interrogated them. Boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, famous paintings, and silver and gold were brought out.

When the emperor saw what was seized during the house search, he became even angrier and ordered the man to be beheaded and exiled.

At this time, Lin Ruhai also dragged his weak body to the emperor.

After the emperor had a chat with Lin Ruhai, he sent him back and later transferred Lin Ruhai back to Nanjing. The specific position he was assigned to would not be known until he arrived in Nanjing.

......

That day, Mu Xi came to Lin Ruhai's study!

Mu Xi smiled and said, "Dad, I have developed a higher-yield rice in my farm. Do you want to present it to the emperor now?"

"Really?"

“When did you develop it?”

Lin Ruhai stood up excitedly and grabbed Mu Xi's hand. He no longer looked as weak as he did outside.

Mu Xi pressed Lin Ruhai down and said softly, “Of course it’s true, it started a long time ago, and after several cultivations, the yield is three times that of ordinary rice.

Now is the harvest season, and we can also let the emperor go to the farm to see it for himself."

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Father will report this matter to the emperor."

Mu Xi said softly, "Dad, remember to give your daughter a chance to marry freely."

Lin Ruhai nodded when he heard this. This was a good idea.

Then the father and daughter chatted for a while and then parted.
