While Lin Jue and Lu Wu were talking, in a room in the three-bedroom compound behind the small courtyard, Lin Quan was scolding Ma Youcai who was standing in front of him.
"Idiot, why didn't you succeed? He obviously went to the mountain. There is only one way down the mountain, so he could miss it? He is hopelessly stupid."
"Sir, it's not that I don't want to. I spent the whole afternoon crawling in the grass with my friends on the street, and almost fainted from the heat. I was bitten all over by small bugs, it hurt and itched, and I was really miserable. This is true.
It's nothing. But I didn't see them coming down until dark. We have no water and have finished eating our dry food. We have no choice but to withdraw first." Ma Youcai said with a sad face.
"Idiot, he just returned to the house. If you step forward, he will go down the mountain. You missed the best opportunity." Lin Quan scolded.
"It's really weird. It must be too late for him to go down the mountain. I wonder if he knows we are waiting for him halfway?" Ma Youcai scratched his head.
Lin Quan frowned and walked for a few steps: "Probably not. Don't think too much about it. In the past two days, I told your friends on the street to be on standby at any time. If he goes out of the city again, be sure to catch him. I don't want him either.
To save his life, all you have to do is break his hands and feet and make him paralyzed on the bed forever."
Ma Youcai bowed and said: "Don't worry, Master, I will catch him even at midnight next time. By the way, Master, can you give me some money? Although I didn't do anything good today, I still have to entertain those friends on the street."
, it’s been a hard day, so it’s hard to let them scold you.”
Lin Quan cursed, reached out and took out two ingots of silver and threw them at Ma Youcai.
"You can use these few taels of silver to make them happy. There is one thing I must remind you. You must not mention that you are doing something for me, and you must not let those outside gangsters know the inside story. Otherwise, you will die if you are talented.
"
Ma Youcai held the silver in his hand and said, "Thank you, Master. Don't worry, I told them about my personal vendetta and asked them for help. I never revealed a word. Besides, don't think they are street gangs."
He is a gangster, but he is also a loyal man and will never make any mistakes."
Lin Quan sneered and said: "I don't believe these poor gangsters. Anyway, please be careful. I treat you as my confidant, so don't let me down. In the future, when I take charge of the family business, you will benefit a lot. Do you understand?"
"
"understand."
"That's good. You go ahead." Lin Quan waved his hand, and Ma Youcai repeatedly agreed and quickly exited.
…
The next morning, Lin Jue made a verification. Before launching a counterattack, Lin Jue needed to confirm that the group led by Ma Youcai on the mountain road yesterday was indeed aimed at him. After all, everything was speculation, and there was a slight misunderstanding.
possible.
The method of verification was actually very simple. Lin Jue swaggered out of Nancheng and then quietly hid in a willow forest beside the road leading to Wansong Ridge. Soon after, Lin Jue saw Ma Youcai leading six or seven people hurriedly along the road.
The road headed towards Wansong Ridge. The matter was already very clear at this point. But Lin Jue made the final verification, that is, he showed up swaggeringly and re-entered the city. Sure enough, not long after, Ma Youcai led the people in anger
Back to the city.
Everything no longer needs too much explanation, everything is 100% certain. Lin Jue actually breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Lin Quan is a half-brother, and he still has some feelings of compatriots. The reason why he wants to completely prove these situations
, in fact, it also gave Lin Jue himself a psychological ups and downs. Lin Jue hoped that he would not see Ma Youcai's actions today, but the reality was so cruel.
"In that case, you can't blame me. Some things cannot be avoided after all." On the way home, Lin Jue felt relieved and sighed.
…
For several days in a row, Lin Jue went out early and came back late, and did not let Xiao Hu follow him. Neither Lu Wu nor Lin Hu knew what the young master was doing. After all, it was dangerous for the young master to go out. But Lin Jue strictly prohibited them from following him, which made Lu Wu
Wu and Lin Hu stayed at home and looked at each other with sad faces, feeling very uneasy.
Lin Jue actually didn't go anywhere. His whereabouts didn't even go beyond the Shiyao River in half the city of Hangzhou. The Shiyao River is the shortest of the four rivers in Hangzhou, with a total length of only ten miles from north to south. However, it is the busiest river in Hangzhou.
.Because this river is located in the most prosperous area of Hangzhou City, with docks on both sides of the river. Seven or eight bridges such as Xima Bridge and Shilan Bridge closely connect the two sides of the Shiyao River, and also allow the shops on both sides of the river to
The restaurant's business has become surprisingly good.
Lin Jue did not come to this prosperous place to visit the scenery and see the favors. He came with a purpose. Of course, in the eyes of the Lin family servants who were secretly watching him, this young master with a third bedroom went out every morning and came to Xihe.
After eating a bowl of chaos at the Chaos Shop on the street, Shi Shiran went to play by the Xima Bridge on the Shiyao River. At noon, he went to the second floor of the Chunlai Teahouse in the east of the Xima Bridge to drink tea, and then stayed there until the evening.
He just left. This kind of behavior was really boring, and the people following him were also bored to death outside the teahouse.
However, how did they know that Lin Jue was indeed drinking tea on the second floor, but he was sitting in the box on the second floor, his eyes constantly staring at a brothel called Yingxiangju opposite the teahouse. For four consecutive days
, Lin Jue, except drinking tea and eating, kept his eyes fixed there.
At noon on the fourth day, the servant of the Lin family who was leaning on the railing of the bridge and watching was suddenly surprised to find that Lin Jue, who had gone to the teahouse not long ago, appeared at the door. The servant, who thought it was another boring day, was busy shaking his sleeves and looking away.
He followed Lin Jue. Because the two people who were following Lin Jue last time were beaten up by people on the street for no reason. After analysis, it was believed that Lin Jue must have done this, so Huang Changqing specially ordered the others to keep it secret.
Engage and keep your distance.
Unfortunately, the servants who were keeping tabs on him soon discovered that today was another fruitless day. Because Lin Jue was walking home. Once he entered Lin's house, he could no longer keep tabs on him.
Lin Jue's sudden early return also surprised Lu Wu who was watering the flowers at home and Lin Hu who was chopping firewood. Moreover, the young master actually had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood. This made both of them a little confused.
mind.
Lin Jue was sitting on the corridor. Lu Wu brought a teapot and poured Lin Jue a cup of tea. Lin Jue took a few sips, patted the small bamboo chair next to him and said, "Come, sit down. Let's talk with me."
Lu Wu sat down suspiciously. Lin Jue looked at her pretty face with a smile and whispered: "Is your good friend the one named Qiurong?"
Lu Wu blinked her big eyes and said, "Yes. Sister Qiurong is very good to me. When you are not at home, she often comes to talk to me."
Lin Jue nodded and said, "Is Qiurong my sister-in-law's personal maid?"
Lu Wu smiled and said: "Of course, Master, you don't even know this, right?"
Lin Jue nodded and said: "That's good. I want to ask, if you and Qiurong whisper something, will she tell others secretly?"
Lu Wu's face turned red and she stammered: "Master... Master... did you hear someone say something? Don't listen to people's nonsense..."
Lu Wu was very innocent. She thought that the whispers she and Qiu Rong had in private had reached Lin Jue's eyes. Because she did say something about Lin Jue in private. Qiu Rong asked her jokingly if she liked Lin Jue.
She also revealed her true feelings to Qiurong. She was worried that Lin Jue had heard these words and was so ashamed that she wished she could crawl into the ground.
Lin Jue asked strangely: "Why are you so red? I didn't hear anyone talking. What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Lin Jue's innocent look, Lu Wu realized that she might have misunderstood. While she was thankful, she felt slightly disappointed.
"Then the young master asked what this sentence means?"
"What I mean is, if Qiu Rong is strict with her mouth, for example, if you say something bad about someone in front of her, will she betray you?" Lin Jue whispered.
"Sister Qiurong is not that kind of person. Sister Qiurong has a stern mouth. She is so kind to me. She would not sell me out." Lu Wu puffed up her mouth and seemed a little angry.
There are only three people in her circle who are trustworthy. One is her late mistress Wang, one is Lin Jue, and the other is Qiurong. They have similar backgrounds and both came to Lin's house as maids at a very young age.
They talked about everything. Lin Quan knew about their relationship and once wanted Qiu Rong to persuade Lu Wu to obey him. But when Qiu Rong came, she told Lu Wu about it and warned Lu Wu Wan instead.
Wan could not agree because she hated Lin Quan. She was raped by Lin Quan when she was thirteen years old. In fact, she was Lin Quan's concubine. But because of Qian's jealousy, she didn't even have a status. Qian's
In fact, I don't know anything about it, otherwise Qiurong might not even have a place to stay.
"That's good, Lu Wu, I need you to talk to Qiurong. There is one thing I need you to convince her to pass on to my sister-in-law."
Lu Wu looked at Lin Jue in surprise. Lin Jue put his mouth next to her pink ears and whispered something.
Lu Wu's eyes were as wide as two black grapes, her mouth was slightly open, and her face was full of astonishment.
"Is this serious?"
"It's absolutely true, can I still lie to you?"
"Young master wants to..."
"Exactly. I have to take action, otherwise I may die in the wilderness one day."
Lu Wu looked at Lin Jue blankly, nodded slightly and said: "Okay. The Lu Dance is ready."
Lin Jue reached out and touched her head, and said softly: "Don't be so afraid, everything is under my control. The only thing you need to remind Qiurong is that you can't say it deliberately, or say it casually, and you won't be able to survive if you ask.
If you admit it, just say that you listened to people's discussion outside. This way, Qiu Rong will not be implicated."
"Don't worry, Sister Qiurong is very smart, she won't mess up. But Master, Lu Wu, can I ask you for a favor? Can you find a way to save Qiurong? She doesn't want to stay in the house, she has a sweetheart in the city.
There, but she can't get out. Can you help her?"
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Of course I will agree to Lu Wu's request. Once this matter is done, it will be a good opportunity for Qiu Rong to regain her freedom."
Lu Wu nodded repeatedly. Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "There is one more thing to note, don't make a mistake with the time. Today is the twenty-seventh, it must be the afternoon of the twenty-nine day after tomorrow. I missed that day.
, I’m afraid things are going to go wrong.”
Lu Wu nodded solemnly and said, "Lv Wu remembers it. Is the young master busy with this matter these days?"
Lin Jue nodded and said: "Yes, I am busy with this matter. If we do not solve this matter, we will not be able to live in peace. I have other things to arrange next, and this alone is not enough."
Lu Wu was surprised and said: "Is there any arrangement?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Are you stupid? If the head of the family doesn't know about this matter, how can he be unlucky? Therefore, the head of the family must be present. Hmm... This matter is a little troublesome, but it's actually not too difficult.
.Although it is a bit risky, it is not a big deal. In short, you do your thing, and then we will wait and see the good show."
