Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Madam! Don't worry, I will handle this matter. I came here as soon as possible because there is something unclear. I need to hurry to see the heroic Mr. Fang."

Jia Min seemed to not understand, "Are you talking about Mr. Fang from the Governor's Mansion?"

"What is he? A hero?"

Lin Daiyu and Madam Rong, and everyone in the room who knew Mr. Fang were all looking at Lin Ruhai. How could a man who was frightened and fell ill become a hero?

Lin Ruhai nodded affirmatively, "I'll explain it to you later. Which room is he in?"

Jia Min unconsciously pointed at Master Fang's room. That room was several rooms away from theirs. There had been no movement since Master Fang was helped in.

Lin Ruhai walked quickly in that direction.

It was too sudden! Jia Min sighed and looked at Rong Mama.

I only knew that Mr. Fang was famous and always thought he was a playboy, but I didn't expect that he was actually a hidden hero?

But this hidden hero, Master Fang, can no longer pretend to be asleep.

Because the servant said that my cousin's husband Lin Ruhai, who came to visit specially, came in insistently.

It's so passionate that no one can stop it.

Mr. Fang has a big head, why should I visit him if I am not in any trouble?

But there was no way, Lin Ruhai came.

What kind of illness should I pretend to have?

Stomachache or headache?

Okay, let's just say I have a headache! I'm not scared of having a headache. I hope the reputation of having wet my pants hasn't spread.

So he received Lin Ruhai feebly.

"Brother-in-law! I'm really fine. You don't need to come all the way to visit me."

"No way! No way, you are now a hero of Yangzhou Prefecture!" Lin Ruhai was very polite.

"What did you say?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Fang was no longer sick and he sat up.

Where did you hear that?

Lin Ruhai saw that Mr. Fang's illness seemed quite casual!

"I said you caught a bandit. The news spread all over Yangzhou. The salt merchants paid a lot of money to hire the bandit to assassinate the governor's family."

"Mr. Fang was both wise and brave. He captured the thief and convinced him with reason, causing the thief to accuse the salt merchant of his own death, disregarding human life."

"Now everyone in Yangzhou has to praise Mr. Fang, you are a true hero!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Fang seemed to be listening to a storytelling. Is this talking about me?

He stared at Lin Ruhai with a feeling of wanting more.

"Master Fang, my time is limited. If you want to hear about your heroic deeds, you can go outside and listen."

"I would like to ask, were the dozen people killed by the thieves all hired by the salt merchants? Why did the salt merchants assassinate you?" Lin Ruhai asked helplessly.

Mr. Fang was confused by the question. If you ask me, who should I ask? I didn’t hear the dozen people!

All I do is go to the bathroom.

Isn't assassinating us the same as assassinating Jia's cousin?

When did you change your goal?

Now he is a little confused. If he assassinates them, he will be a hero instead of a coward.

Could it be that someone admires me and is helping me restore my reputation?

But I really don’t know about this question!

He said a little bewilderedly, "Brother-in-law! Why don't you ask your eldest nephew?"

"He's the only one who knows the details, I don't remember most of them."

Lin Ruhai's eyes lit up with surprise. It was indeed this brat.

This morning, as soon as Lin Ruhai arrived at the government office, he received the note. At that time, the body had not yet been delivered to the government office.

After receiving confirmation from the government office, Lin Ruhai rushed all the way to Daming Temple.

This is an opportunity, an opportunity to open a gap, the collusion between officials and businessmen is ironclad.

Now that he had a flaw, all he needed was a crowbar.

The reason for asking Mr. Fang this time was to find out who was constantly sending him messages.

This time, he not only got the news about the accusation of the corpse in the government office, but also the list and amount of the salt permit auction.

It seems that there is something to say about this year's letter of greeting.

The second is to see if there are more details, and I am skeptical about whether Mr. Fang has such ability.

He was also afraid that if he was too late, the Governor's Office would get there first, and he would most likely not be able to meet Mr. Fang.

Sure enough, as soon as he asked, he heard a commotion outside.

"Second Master! The eldest master has sent someone to tell us to return immediately without wasting any time."

Master Fang stretched his neck and shouted, "It's too late to go back. I'm still sick!"

After saying that, he lay down again.

But this time the servant was not considerate at all and continued, "The master's men are here to pass on a message, so I have to crawl back even if I have to."

"If you can't climb up the scaffold, carry it back. As long as you still have breath, go back and swallow it."

When Mr. Fang heard this, he realized that his grandmother’s illness could no longer be cured.

Why does it feel like my life is being demanded today? Can the Yimakou ritual at Daming Temple really bring something?

Thinking of this, Mr. Fang felt gloomy and cold all over.

Aunt Hua was also shouting, "Madam is injured, how can she be jolted like this? She should rest now."

"What's the delay if I go back tomorrow morning?"

The steward passed on the message, "If Second Madam really can't leave, then don't leave. The Governor's Mansion can't keep you. Just take the children back with you."

"Mrs. Fang, please become a nun right here!"

Auntie Hua,...

No one dared to refute.

The message conveyed by the manager today was so strong that it sounded like a bad omen.

In this way, a group of people, some being carried and some being dragged, supported each other and walked out of the gate of Daming Temple.

Before leaving, Shi Yifang, with her arm bandaged, looked back and saw that the Daming Temple was still brightly lit.

Incense smoke lingers and Sanskrit sounds burst out.

The whole family was like a lost dog, and they ran away in shame overnight.

A bad fortune! It really is a bad fortune. Could it be that the wild monk is an enlightened monk?

The children were still complaining, "Mom! Why? We haven't gone shopping yet?"

Shi Yifang looked at her two children, and found that they were indeed more sensible than her concubines' children. They did not make any noise but just sat there quietly.

Shi Yifang glanced at the complaining child and said, "You want to go shopping! Go down and go shopping!"

"Get down now! Get out!"

The child was so scared that he started to cry, "I won't dare to do that, Mom! I won't dare to do that!"

Everyone in the car was nervous.

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the moon outside can still shine on everyone's face.

Dirty face...

After a bumpy ride, we soon arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

Oh! Mr. Fang finally felt relieved. He was back home. Although there were not many places left where he could sleep comfortably, it was still a hundred times better than the Monastery.

Eat something good to calm your nerves.

"Second Master! Get off the sedan chair, we've arrived at the Governor's Mansion!"

The second master lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw two chief stewards under the governor, as well as several stewards and servants behind them. The stewards and servants were holding ropes and sticks in their hands.

Is this the etiquette for welcoming a hero? This ridiculous etiquette is actually quite real!

Master Fang swallowed his saliva and said, "Two stewards, why are you two so troubled? Isn't this too grand?"

After saying that, he thought again, could it be that I should go and pay my respects first?

To prevent me from being complacent and to curb my arrogance!

In theory, this credit should have been given to the illegitimate son of the Lin family. It was really kind of him to give it to me!

Although he is cold-hearted and ruthless, there is nothing to complain about what he does.

Mr. Fang was still daydreaming when the two stewards shouted, "Catch him!"
