Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Suddenly, two crisp bangs were heard outside, which were the sounds of weapons colliding with each other.

Then, human voices were heard.

"Kill them all!"

"Don't let anyone go."

"Send a few people to the back door and block the way!"

"Torch, torch... You bastard, I told you to light a torch, what the hell are you doing!"

Rui Xin, who was still smiling bitterly a moment ago, suddenly burst into laughter.

Fu Bin walked up to him and slapped him in the face: "What are you laughing at?"

Rui Xin covered her face and looked at Fu Bin with resentment.

When Fu Bin rolled up his sleeves and prepared to slap Rui Xin again, Xu Mengru stopped him and said, "Don't hit her yet."

Then he walked up to Rui Xin and said, "That beggar is quite efficient."

Rui Xin chuckled.

"You guys pushed me to do this. I never thought I'd have to go this far."

Xu Mengru asked, "Force you? Paying someone to stab me, did we force you to do that?"

Rui Xin said, "To be honest, I never intended to hurt you, Xu Mengru. Think about it, if I really wanted to kill you, the two times Guo Qiang stabbed you would have gone straight for your throat."

"I just wanted you to stop and let me handle the entire matter of the Imperial Merchant, but I didn't expect that you would rather trust Chen Lang, who has never done any cloth business, than me."

"From that moment on, I was completely disappointed in you."

Xu Mengru said, "That same day, you gave the recipe to the Min family and then left Linshui on the pretext of something."

"But you didn't expect that that night, Shopkeeper Hou discovered something wrong with the dyeing recipe and informed Master Chen."

"Master Chen used a powerful tactic to exploit someone else's strength. The next day, he announced to the public that Xu's Cloth Shop was trying to seize the Imperial Merchants position. This gave the Min family the illusion that there was nothing wrong with our dyeing recipe. And yet, when the Min family needed you most, you weren't in Linshui. As for the other people bribed by the Min family, they weren't qualified to have access to the dyeing recipe."

There was a conversation going on inside, and the shouting and screaming outside was endless.

Rui Xin really wanted to run to the window to see what was going on outside, but Fu Bin was standing next to him, preventing him from moving at all.

Xu Mengru took out a few pieces of paper, waved them in front of Rui Xin, and said, "This is the property that the Min family gave as compensation. Do you want to see it?"

Rui Xin sneered, "What's the point of reading about unequal treaties?"

"The Min family... they are really a bunch of trash."

Xu Mengru smiled slightly: "The people who came to rescue you outside might have been sent by the Min family's rubbish. Is it appropriate for you to scold them like that?"

Rui Xin looked at Xu Mengru in surprise, then smiled: "So you don't know anything."

Xu Mengru's eyes darkened: "What do you mean?"

"Hahahahahaha... Women are just women after all." Rui Xin laughed so hard that tears came out.

……

An alley in front of Chen Mansion.

Two figures were hiding in it.

After a while, a beggar, leaning on a stick, staggered to the door of Chen's house, knocked on the door, and knelt on the ground.

A few moments later, the door of Chen's house opened and a maid appeared behind the door. When she saw the beggar kneeling at the door, a look of disgust immediately appeared on her face.

But the maid did not drive the beggar away directly. Instead, she gave him a few steamed buns and more than ten copper coins.

The beggar left satisfied.

To the Chen family, this was just an ordinary incident of a beggar kneeling at the door to beg, but to the two people hiding in the alley, this was a clear signal.

"According to the plan, I will arrest Chen Lang, and you will arrest Chen Lang's wife."

"Don't kill Chen Lang. The higher-ups want him alive."

"I heard that Chen Lang's wife is very beautiful. Don't be tempted by her beauty and cause trouble."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

After a conversation, the two walked to the two sides of the Chen Mansion's gate under the cover of night.

After climbing over the wall and entering, the man responsible for catching Li Xiuzhi sneaked along the wall all the way to the main house. When he was almost there, he heard the crying of a child coming from inside the house.

With this voice, people feel at peace.

Because a child's voice is the best disguise.

Even if she cries so hard now, when she is kidnapped later, no matter how much she cries, it will not alert others.

The man came to the bottom of the window, carefully lifted it up and took a peek inside.

The house was brightly lit. Chen Lang's daughter-in-law Li Xiuzhi was sitting at the head of the bed, coaxing the baby in her arms. The eldest daughter was sitting on a strangely shaped wooden shelf, strolling back and forth in the house.

"This Chen Lang is really smart. He actually made this kind of toy for his daughter." The man snorted, "I'll take it away later and give it to the children in the mountains to play with."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a strong gust of wind hitting the back of his head.

Without time to think, the man rolled on the ground and dodged to the side.

However, just as he stabilized his body, a pair of feet appeared in front of him.

The visitor slowly raised his head and saw a stern face.

"what!"

After a scream, the man suffered a severe blow to the head and almost fainted.

At the same time, Li Xiuzhi's voice came from inside the house: "What's wrong?"

The guard who knocked the assassin unconscious said, "It's alright, ma'am."

"Oh." Li Xiuzhi did not ask any further questions.

"Tie him up and throw him into the water dungeon." Following the guard's order, several people nearby came over with ropes and tied up the assassin tightly with the same method as tying a New Year pig. They also stuffed a few hemp seeds into his mouth to prevent him from shouting when he woke up.

At the same time, another assassin also arrived outside Chen Lang's study.

His luck was much better than his companions, because there was no guard inside or outside Chen Lang's study.

The assassin climbed in through the window and rushed to Chen Lang at lightning speed. He put the dagger against Chen Lang's neck and said, "Don't move, or I will kill you."

Chen Lang calmly put down his brush, looked up at the assassin, and said with a very carefree smile, "You are quite amazing."

"My name is Chen Lang. I have made countless enemies in my life. May I ask which enemy invited you here?"

The assassin said in a fierce voice, "Don't talk nonsense, just follow me and you will suffer."

Chen Lang asked, "Can I tell my wife?"

The assassin flew into a rage and asked, "Do you really think I'm inviting you out for an outing?"

Chen Lang said, "Oh, this is kidnapping. Look at me, I have so many enemies that I've forgotten how scary this is."

The assassin said, "Mr. Chen, I know you're smart and cunning, but I'm telling you, don't play tricks on me anymore."

"Don't worry about not being able to see your wife, because she will go with you."

Chen Lang exclaimed, "Wow, your service is so good?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Stand up!" The assassin lost his patience. "Otherwise I will..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist and then water sprayed all over his face.

"If you don't accept my toast, I'll kill you!" The assassin was furious and stabbed Chen Lang in the chest with a dagger!
