86_86438 But Lin Hai was assassinated on the street, and the assassin was actually a servant he brought from Yangzhou. The dagger was found to have a very powerful poison, and the throat was sealed with blood. After reading the book at zero, he sat in front of the hall and ordered someone to bring him up and ask, "I don't say anything about you like this, I just said it for some reason."

The man's name is Hu Zhong, who was originally a child from the Lin family. He knelt down and kowtowed calmly, "I know I can't stand the master, I just want to die quickly."

Lin Hai raised his eyelids: "You are also a smart person. Do you think you can?"

Hu Zhong said: "I didn't know anything at all, so where can the master ask anything."

Lin Hai glanced at him.

Hu Zhongsui said: "The person who came to bribe me was an ordinary figure. He always had a hoarse voice, covered his face with a black scarf and came only at night. I really didn't know anything."

Lin Hainai asked: "How much is it."

Hu Zhong lowered his head and said, "Ten thousand taels of silver."

Lin Hai couldn't help but snorted: "Your master's life is worth such an idea?"

Hu Zhong said: "The master's life is naturally more valuable, but I can only get these."

Lin Hai thought for a while: "A few days ago when you came to Beijing, you said that your wife would take her children back to her parents' house to live for a few days. I think she had settled them."

Hu Zhong nodded and said, "Because I got the silver note first, I secretly checked the truth and found someone to make it clear. I then settled my family and then took over the job."

Lin Hai said: "Aren't you afraid that you will die? Are you a little kid in your mouth?"

Hu Zhong smiled and said, "I am a little clever. They were settled by me personally. If something happens, no matter what happens, I will have a dead end. The court and the opponent will definitely look for their mothers or even sit down or silence them. It's not that I boast, but the master and they are afraid they can't find them. I am born a slave. Even if I live a hundred years old in this life, I will be a slave. What's the fun of you? I'm also tired of your children and grandchildren. It's not that the master is not good to me, nor is it that I don't know how kindness is. Such an opportunity is rare for a thousand years. Even if I die, the children have already gained freedom and have money to settle down. I can't care about the people around me."

Lin Hai heard what he said so realistically and was quiet for a long time. He didn't ask Hu Zhong's wife and children how they got their freedom. Now all the princes have their own authority, and it is very easy to get a good citizen for tens of thousands of taels of silver. There are hundreds of people in the Lin Mansion, and there are naturally many loyal people, and there are probably many people who can be driven by interests. Moreover, Hu Zhong was originally a very smart person, and it is inevitable that he would not want to be a slave for life. But since this person understood everything, he didn't know where to start asking him.

Hu Zhong looked up at Lin Hai's thoughtful expression and smiled, "Your Majesty, don't bother to think about it. I will naturally tell you what I know." Lin Hai raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and said, "I thought about it early. No matter whether the success or failure of this matter, no matter who comes to ask me, what do you say. It's not for the kindness of the master, nor for fear of suffering from flesh and blood, but it's just that there is no need to hide it from it. It was just a mere deal."

Lin Hai stopped talking again. After looking at him for half a day, he saw that he was always calm and calm. He seemed to have put life and death aside. He suddenly asked: "You have parents, brothers and relatives in the mansion. Did you never think it would drag them down?"

He said without fear: "The parents and relatives, courtesy, righteousness and conscience are all ignored in front of the children."

Lin Hai said: "If you want to get rid of your slavery, you are not without serious methods. Why not come and ask me?"

Hu Zhong asked back, "How much can the master give me to take me out of the mansion? At that time, my son wanted to be a tenant farmer, but he still had to sell himself as a slave when the harvest was not good."

Lin Hai sneered, "It turns out that you have no confidence in leaving your hometown and striving to manage your family business, and you have no confidence in your own business. You have the shame of being self-reliant and smart. How capable can your wife be? She has so much money, you know that you will not find another good family to marry? The other person who marrys must be a good person and will be able to treat your son kindly? Besides, there are many playboys in the world now, and no one is there to take care of you, you will know that your son will be on the right path? I am afraid it is better to be a tenant and be down-to-earth. If you accidentally reveal your wealth and meet a strong man, you will not be able to save your life."

Hu Zhong was stunned before, but when he heard it, he smiled and said, "I know everything in my mind and have everything been placed." Then he said, "Why don't you worry about my child, why not ask about the incident?"

Lin Hai looked confident and was afraid that it would be difficult to open the gap from his child, so he followed his words and asked, "How did the matter happen?"

Hu Zhong started talking from the beginning. It was not a lie to see that he looked, but he didn't know much.

It turned out that the incident started last year. Hu Zhong went outside to work on Lin Hai and returned home late that day. He found a small stall on the side of the road and rushed back. After passing a secluded alley, someone suddenly stuck his hand out to pinch his neck. He couldn't speak out immediately. Another one put a bag on his head and stuffed it with a handkerchief, dragging him away.

He was full of frightened and thought that it was necessary to explain it today. Unexpectedly, the two men pressed him to one place and took off the bag on his head. He looked at him on a big rock, and he seemed to be familiar with the place around him, so scared that he could not recognize him. Both men in front of him had ordinary figures and black scarves on his face.

One of them said in a hoarse voice: "Sir, you're frightened, don't be afraid. We just have a business to do with you."

Hu Zhong said boldly: "The villain is just a slave and has no capital to do business with the adults."

The man gave up and said, "Ten Thousand Tails of Silver, if you stab Lin Hai, you will stab Lin Hai, regardless of life or death, give the money first, we will prepare the knife for you. Lin Hai has hired a guard with quite some skills. It is very difficult to stab him. We will cover you for your own opportunity."

Hu Zhong was speechless and wanted to refute, but the man said again: "Do you want your son to be a slave?"

This sentence hit Hu Zhong's heart. He was not inferior to others in his own self-reliance, but was born as a slave, and had nowhere to display his talents. At most, he was just a housekeeper with Lin Hai, and he was always depressed. Therefore, he did not say anything for a moment. The man nodded and winked at his accomplices, and Hu Zhong let the sack cover his head.

The man was still hoarse and said, "Sir, move carefully."

Hu Zhong was not afraid this time, and An Sheng followed the support of him and left. After they removed the bag again, they disappeared. Hu Zhong had already returned to the alley just now. He hurried back to the mansion.

The next day after dawn, he found the alley and walked some way according to his memory. He found that the place where the two of them negotiated with him was on a secluded street where they were walking on daily life. Then the two of them disappeared again.

Until four months later, Hu Zhong returned late for some reason and was found by the two of them again. This time, they whistled twice and waved to him in the dark. At that time, he had already thought it through, and just took the lead and followed them. The three of them went to a secluded place one after another, and the two old things were brought up again. In order for his son to have a good future, Hu Zhong vaguely felt that the matter could be accomplished, and he could not take care of anything else, so he immediately responded.

The two of them could even believe him, so they immediately took a pile of silver notes of a total of ten thousand taels and said, "Mr. Hu is a smart man, and he will go to settle it himself." After that, he left.

Hu Zhongli stood there in a daze for half a day, and finally returned to the mansion with his money.

Later, he tried to ask someone to verify the silver notes and set up a retreat for the family in advance. The two of them had never been on the road until the third day after Lin Hai received the order to return to Beijing to report his work, Hu Zhong went to the street to buy items, causing a drunkard to stagger, and then he opened his mouth to scold him. Suddenly there was a dagger in his sleeve. He understood that what was coming was coming.

After hearing this, Lin Hai knew that there must be some detailed works in his mansion. The person behind the scenes understood Hu Zhong's temperament very well, and was neither afraid that he would run away after getting money nor to come back to report to him. If it weren't for the long-term relationship, how could he have grasped him so well? So he waved his hand and ordered someone to take him down and write a letter back to Yangzhou, so that the confidants who stayed there would carefully screen the house, especially those who had had close contact with Hu Zhong. Those brought out also had to be investigated.

Another group of soldiers from the Five City Military Police said back and forth. The group of thugs were hired temporarily with the road. Because the man looked ordinary and had an ordinary accent in the capital, I was afraid that nothing could be found from that line. Lin Hai smiled and said, "It is obvious that they have someone in the capital, which is also a reward." Because they thanked them and sent them back.

On the other side, Jia Huan and Jia Cong went to the small study inside to meet Daiyu and told her to go out to buy everything. Lin Daiyu had just put out a booklet full of the case for the rewards for the New Year, Lin Hai brought it, Rongguo Mansion, and the original ones in the house of the King of Virtue were different. Da Leng Tianer was so busy that she was sweating. When she heard that they came in, she didn't look up and teased her nonsense, "How much money did you eat again?"

Jia Cong didn't answer her words and shouted: "Sister Lin! It's so thrilling today!"

Jia Huan hurriedly winked at him and said "shush".

Lin Daiyu turned around and raised her eyebrows.

Jia Cong pretended to whisper: "Why don't you say it?"

Jia Huan stomped his feet in a hurry, and leaned over to bite his ears: "Do you want Sister Lin to be anxious!"

Jia Cong curled his lips: "This kind of thing is not something that happens every thousand years. If you know it, you will be prepared for it, right? I always thought that everything is not specifically hidden from my own people. Do you know what you have to do? I will learn from your mistakes."

How can I hide it from Daiyu like this? She said with a straight eyebrows: "Don't sting a scorpion, come and listen, there are so many."

Jia Cong pulled Jia Huan over and said in detail how he bought the food today and why Lin Hai was almost assassinated. His youngest son was trapped in the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain. Fortunately, the assassin only ruined a pack of *House Walnut Crisp that he had worked hard to queue up and said in detail. Daiyu's face turned pale and she immediately wanted to see her father.

Jia Cong hurriedly stopped her: "What's the hurry for sister? My uncle didn't even break a thread in his clothes. Now he is trying to interrogate the assassin."

Two strings of tears flowed in Daiyu's eyes: "It's a coincidence that Huan'er was blocking it with something today, and the assassin had no strength. If it wasn't so coincidental, what should I do!"

Jia Cong comforted, "If the second-rank officials of the court were so easily assassinated, the world would be in chaos. It shows that the people behind the scenes would not dare to do anything. They must have planned carefully for a long time. Although they wanted to harm their uncle, they were afraid of exposing themselves. If they failed to get a blow, it would be difficult for the next time."

Daiyu said, "I am afraid that one plan will not be able to make another plan. We don't know anything now. My father can't be wary, so I can't defend myself."

Jia Cong said: "Is it easy for my sister to be an uncle? The assassin was originally playing with it just by surprise to attack him. This strategy is like an empty city plan. It can only be done once, and it will never work next time."

Daiyu's heart was already uneasy, and she was tearful on her face with a handwring in her hand and muttered: "Why do I and my father prepare the next heart protection mirror? I must also have one side in the back, and say less two side..."

Seeing that she was still anxious, Jia Cong hurriedly said, "That is treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Instead of being anxious, it is better for us to think about it. Is there a way to find out the person behind the scenes? This is the root cause. My uncle is a very good person, so he will definitely not offend anyone for nothing."

Daiyu immediately asked him to take his thoughts away, stopped crying, thought for a long time, and said, "Since it is time to assassinate my father, assassinating a court official is a serious crime. Who dares to be innocent? I'm afraid that my father will hold his handle in his hand and shake it out, which may cause his life to be killed, and even harm the whole family."

Jia Cong said, "I have been in Beijing for so long before I started to do it. I don't know how many times I have discussed everything with the saint. Therefore, he must have not reported the secrets of the person behind the scenes to the saint, otherwise it would be useless to kill him. But why not tell me? My uncle is definitely not a person who hides his own private affairs. If there is a person who hides his own private affairs, then he doesn't have to risk stabbing him."

Daiyu frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason. She stood up and paced around the house with her hands behind her back. When she looked coldly, she had a bit of the demeanor of Lin Hai.

Jia Huan quietly said, "Can my uncle not know yet? That person's secret handle."

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "Is it useless for me to stab a second-rank official who knows nothing to do? "

Jia Huan said: "You all say that he has discussed everything with the saints a lot. If he had known, wouldn't he have said it earlier?"

Jia Cong glared at him: "Are you quarrel?"

Daiyu suddenly slapped her high-five: "My father is afraid he doesn't know yet!"

Jia Cong was stunned: "Ah?"

Daiyu's face was tense and she said solemnly: "This time, my father had been in Beijing halfway through the way to Beijing. Even though he was guarding the Taiping Escort Agency, it was a coincidence and a cover. Even if there was no, my father was carrying the guard beside him, it was OK."

Jia Cong nodded repeatedly: "Yes, just like those despicable thugs nowadays, they are not very useful, they are used to fool people."

Daiyu speeded up: "Yes, the thieves on the road and the thugs today are all pretexts. My father and the guards thought they were just capable, so they were not very alert. This servant is the real assassin, and he has been ambushing for a long time. But he actually started this time." Daiyu stopped, thought for a while, and said decisively, "My father doesn't know yet. However, after returning to Yangzhou, I'm afraid I'll know it."

Jia Cong suddenly thought of something and slapped his high-high: "Only he knows! If his uncle had an accident, the court would change his successor to the Yankee Censor, and some clues or the causes and consequences would inevitably be unclear, and I am afraid I can't notice it." Jia Cong had seen many things like fighting against the east wall and making information poor in his previous life.

Daiyu nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "That's the reason. The person behind the scenes doesn't want his father to go back to the south, so he can only attack on the road or in the capital." He couldn't help but be afraid, "Fortunately, it's today." He remembered that Jia Huan had saved her father's life just now, and hurriedly thanked, "Thanks to Huan'er!"

Jia Huan has always admired her and learned from her talent. She neither hides her own personalities nor looks down on him. She waved her hands repeatedly: "It's just a coincidence. How can I afford to thank my sister?"

Jia Cong said jealously: "Sir! Thanks to your student, I was smart and I saw early that the group of people fighting were wrong, otherwise it would be even more chaotic."

Jia Huan curled his lips and said, "Yes, thanks to Cong'er, otherwise Brother Yao'er would not have been trapped."

Jia Cong glared at him: "Where are brothers like you who specialize in poking brother's life?"

Jia Huan said, "You always talk about what brothers are for sale?"

Daiyu asked them to tease each other on the left and right, but she relaxed her eyebrows...
