Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Master! Everything has been arranged! They have sent six hired martial arts masters!"

"Let's kidnap that kid tonight and help the young master vent his anger." A servant was reporting with his head down.

The young man lying on the bed was full of anger, "Waste! You are all waste, what's the point of keeping waste like you?"

"Six is ​​not enough, we need at least sixty. I want to break his legs and arms, cut him into a spinning top, and pickle him into a human pig."

The garrison commander with a broken leg slammed the edge of the bed and cursed as much as he could to vent his anger.

"Master! This is a post station. If sixty people come, we have to alert the guards."

"Then the master will be implicated. It's just a matter of kidnapping a bastard of about ten years old. Six people will be enough."

“Too many corridors will be crowded.”

"And we changed the incense in advance to ensure they are soundly asleep and won't wake up even if we slap them."

"Including the guards."

"So Master, don't worry. You will be able to vent your anger later this night."

"Okay! Okay! Okay," I will wait for him for a few more hours.

"Damn it! The Yangzhou prefect is a fool. We've reported the case to the police, but he said there's no evidence to prove that the boy was the one who hurt people."

"It said that our own horse kicked our own people and almost hurt other innocent people."

"We have no choice but to resort to underworld tactics. Fortunately, this is Yangzhou."

"As long as you have money, you can buy life!"

The garrison commander had already thought of one hundred and eighty ways to torture people.

……

"Boss! Is this the room?" A small masked man lowered his head and fiddled with the lock.

"Yes! We'll take the money and do the job, then kidnap the young man inside and leave." The big guy looked around with a knife in his hand.

It's so quiet! This night is a little unusual.

"When they went to dinner in the evening, the sponsor said he had replaced all the incense for them."

"I'm already asleep like a pig by now." It should be fine, the big guy comforted himself.

"This is an official's wife, won't they cause trouble?" the little man grumbled.

"I wonder why you've suddenly become so fussy. In Yangzhou, only the rich are the boss. How many wives of officials, whether they are wives of officials or not, have we kidnapped?"

"They are taken as hostages."

"I heard from the sponsor that this is a bastard and no one will care even if we kidnap him." The big man was a little impatient and a little nervous for some reason.

"Does it take so much to capture one person? We have six of them."

"There are two children in the two rooms next to it. Why don't we move? They are very tender and can be exchanged for a lot of money."

There was a hint of greed in the little guy's voice, and he added that he didn't kidnap children, and kidnapping older children was simply insane.

"Don't add unnecessary complications."

"We just take money and do the work! We take money from one person and do the work for that person."

"You're right, the door is open! Boss, go in."

"Leave four people outside, two in each direction, and you follow me in."

"It's too dark, Boss!"

"Nonsense! Can you light a lamp after kidnapping someone? Is there anyone in the bed?"

"Boss, he's sleeping soundly."

"Pack the sacks quickly."

……

"Why so slow?"

"Boss! He's pressing on the quilt! I'm turning him over!" The skinny monkey exerted force on the bed.

“This one’s a little heavy.”

"You... rolled up the quilt with me! Idiot!"

"Let's go!" The big guy watched the skinny monkey pretend to be a human, called the four people who were watching outside, and carried the prey back to the hideout.

"He's ten years old and looks a bit strong! It's quite heavy!" The man carrying the sack threw it to the ground, bent over and supported his thighs with his hands to catch his breath.

"That went very smoothly, boss!" The little man waved the sword in his hand.

“I didn’t use any of my skills!”

"You're a good kid, Skinny Monkey. You succeeded in your first participation."

"Inspect the goods first! Skinny boy, open the sack. There has been no movement along the way, don't suffocate to death!"

"Why are you back? I feel even more nervous." The big guy patted his chest with one hand.

"Boss! Look, there's something wrong with this guy!"

"This! This is not the person we are looking for." The skinny monkey screamed.

"Damn it, throw it down and run." I said something didn't feel right.

The big leader kicked the man in the sack into a corner, "A good dog doesn't block the road!"

He started to run outside.

After running two steps, he suddenly stopped because he heard four "thumps" at the door.

The sound of something heavy falling to the ground.

A masked man stood in front of him and the skinny monkey.

The big guy yelled, "Skinny monkey, it's time to show off your kung fu!"

……

"I'm so sleepy!" Lin Daiyu felt her eyelids were about to droop. This body was still too small, and she never got enough sleep.

When I looked up, I saw that Yong'an had already fallen asleep on his back.

The two little feet are quite symmetrical and straight.

The two mothers slept on two small beds.

This inn is quite considerate, with one big bed and two small beds. I guess they knew there would be maids and old women there.

Lin Daiyu moved Yong'an inside and lay down on her side to sleep.

As soon as I close my eyes, it’s a sweet dream.

Swaying here and there, we are on the boat, heading to the capital again?

No! Am I not at the post station? "Ding-clang," this is the sound of swords clashing.

Assassination! That's not right! Who would assassinate a four-year-old child?

My eyelids were too heavy. I tried several times but couldn't open them.

Just go to sleep! Lin Daiyu fell asleep again.

……

At this time, there was a person at the back window, who slowly climbed to the window.

He reached out and pried open the window.

"Bang!" A stone flew over.

"Ouch!" The masked man at the window covered his butt with one hand, and his other hand slipped and fell down with a "plop!".

Before he could get up, his eyes went dark...

There were two people at the door, tiptoeing to open it. "Bang! Bang!" He felt a pain in the back of his neck and collapsed to the ground.

The man behind took out a sack from behind, opened it, and skillfully put it on the heads of the two men.

Use both hands to force the person in and stab him in the mouth.

All done! Just turn around and leave.

Suddenly my heart started beating "bang bang bang".

"No, why is there no sound?" He gently pushed the door open again and took a look.

"Eh...you're sleeping so soundly!" He pouted and shook his head.

The quilt was kicked off!

"Serves you right! Dongdong will wake up soon!"

He closed the door and walked out.

Go to the house next door where Lin Ruhai and Jia Min live.

"Master! Are you okay over there? There was an accident here. Lord Lin and Madam Jia are awake."

……

After dinner in the evening, Jia Min felt uneasy. The smell of incense was upsetting.

"This post station uses low-quality incense, right? If you're going to light incense, either don't light it at all, or light good ones."

"If you don't light it right, you'll feel dizzy. In fact, the fragrance of flowers in Yangzhou is quite natural and pleasant."

Jia Min muttered to herself as she opened the window to get rid of the smell.

Then soak the incense directly in the water.

I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. When I saw Shi Yifang today, scenes of the past ten years came flooding back to me.
