A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

Chapter 115 Lin Yao’s “Crime”

The salt cube in Lin Ruhai's hand was wearing armor and holding a sword, full of evil aura and murderous intent.

The entire Lin Mansion within a hundred meters of the area is under martial law, and not even a fly can fly.

Not to mention secretly, people who resist are already being arrested.

A salt merchant sent his dead men to ambush Mr. Lin's heirs. This kind of behavior is no different from treason.

Not only the Lin Mansion, but also the Censor Zhao Yang has personally gone to the Yangzhou Mansion Office to deliver the order of the Censor of Salt, sealing off the four gates of Yangzhou City to investigate the remaining crimes.

For a time, the whole city of Yangzhou was in turmoil, and the salt merchants were in danger.

I couldn't help but recall Lin Ruhai who had gone crazy some time ago, and was afraid that he would take the opportunity to slash the butcher's knife at them.

In the east wing of the Lin Mansion, the situation was even worse.

Lin Yao encountered the biggest crisis in history.

As soon as he returned to the Lin Mansion, he saw Xiao Daiyu, who was crying like a broken bead with a handkerchief covered in her hand.

When Xiao Daiyu saw Lin Yao's figure, she cried loudly "Wow".

Without waiting for Jia Min, who was comforting her, to react, she threw herself into Lin Yao's arms in the blink of an eye, quickly soaking the clothes in front of her.

Looking at Daiyu who was crying in his arms, Lin Yao suddenly felt that he had done something "heinous".

"Yu'er, brother knows that he was wrong and will never take such risks again..."

Xiao Daiyu in her arms didn't respond, she just hugged Lin Yao tighter.

Xiang Ling on the side was sobbing with red eyes. Apparently she was also very worried after hearing the news before.

Ordinary Jia Min didn't have a good face either. She lost her usual dignity and elegance and said with a bit of anger.

"You guys are just some little fly thieves, why are you so reckless?"

Lin Yao was speechless and turned to Lin Ruhai for help.

Lin Ruhai received Lin Yao's message for help and spoke to help.

"Xiao Yao is not acting recklessly. This is the plan of the two of us to fish out the evil villain, and I have already known about it. I just don't want to make you worry, so I didn't tell you."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Ruhai and Lin Yao felt the complaining looks from Jia Min.

"You two are people who do great things, but you should also take care of yourselves and don't forget that there are relatives at home who are worried about your safety."

Seeing that Daiyu had obviously stopped sobbing and was listening to everyone's conversation, Lin Yao quickly changed the topic.

"Although the appearance of the powerful bow and crossbow was unexpected, I was unscathed and gained a lot this time."

Xiao Daiyu raised her head, her eyes were filled with mist and a pool of light, and the redness in her eyes was heartbreaking.

She raised her little hand, clenched it into a fist, and lightly beat Lin Yao's chest a few times.

"I heard from grandma that you came back covered in blood. Why did you lie to me and say everything was fine?"

Lin Yao was extremely ashamed and explained in a gentle voice.

"Don't you still believe in your brother's strength? I just want my father to use this topic to suppress the restless minds of those salt merchants again."

"What's more, look at how angry I am now when I take off my coat. I don't look like I'm injured. The fox fur is stained with the blood of those prisoners."

Xiao Daiyu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then stared into Lin Yao's eyes and said.

"Brother Yao, promise me, you won't take risks easily if you are not completely sure in the future. I don't want your pretending to be dead today to become a reality."

"How can a son of a rich man stand under a dangerous wall if he cannot sit down in the hall? This is what you taught me."

Lin Yao nodded hurriedly and replied: "Please rest assured, sister, I never do anything I am not sure about."

Xiao Daiyu said "Yeah". Even though she was still young, she understood that nothing in the world was perfect.

Take his father Lin Ruhai as an example. During the time when she was appointed as the Salt Censor, she witnessed two or three assassinations, and there were probably even more who were unaware of them.Even after her brother started practicing martial arts, all the assassinations seemed to disappear, but her state of mind also grew a lot.

If he hadn't heard that Lin Yao had come back covered in blood, he wouldn't have been so anxious.

Jia Min saw Lin Yao coaxing Xiao Daiyu and immediately spoke.

"Xiao Yao, what's important right now is to find out who is behind this."

"Madam, those fallen salt merchants do have this ability, but they may be malicious people fishing in troubled waters. Xiao Yao, what do you think of this matter?"

Lin Ruhai frowned and thought for a while, then answered Jia Min's question and then asked Lin Yao.

Hearing this, Lin Yao said seriously.

"It's hard to say. Although the assassins left a few alive, I believe Uncle Lin will sort out the information quickly. But it's also possible that they don't know the identity of their employer."

After a pause, seeing the serious look of the three of them, he added.

"My idea is that the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes is not important. What is important is to use this good opportunity to exploit the situation."

Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Yao and couldn't help laughing.

"Then according to your opinion, no matter who is behind, they will definitely believe that it was those salt merchants who did it."

Lin Yao also had a smile on his face, and his eyes were a little darker.

"We must suppress them severely so that they will not dare to do anything else in the next few years."

At this time, a voice came from outside the door.

"Master, I came from the front yard to report that the carriage of the head of the Zheng family is at the door and he wants to visit the young master."

Hearing this, Lin Yao patted the little heads of Daiyu and Xiangling beside him, then directly took off their outer clothes, put on a piece of blood-stained gauze, and then lay straight on the bed.

The two little guys looked at Lin Yao's perfunctory dress and couldn't help but smile, their sadness turned into joy.

"Xiang Ling, hurry up, put some lotion on my face, otherwise it will look too fake, and it is simply mocking the head of the Zheng family."

With tears in her eyes and a chuckle on her face, Xiangling picked up a yellowish natural pigment from the side.

She dipped a white cotton ball into the yellow paint and gently rubbed it on Lin Yao's cheeks. Lin Yao's face suddenly showed a haggard look.

Green-white fingers occasionally touched Lin Yao's cheek, and Xiang Ling's fair face showed a bit of blush, coupled with a pitiful look in her eyes.

Meeting Xiang Ling's eyes, Lin Yao showed a heart-warming smile.

"Okay, my son."

Xiang Ling turned her head away in shame when Lin Yao looked at her, but her eyes still glanced at him inadvertently.

Lin Yao couldn't help but reached out and stroked the messy hair on her forehead.

This girl must have rushed over with Xiao Daiyu after hearing the news, and she no longer had the calmness of the past.

At this moment, Daiyu has the care and comfort of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, but Xiangling really only has Lin Yao.

Then, Best Actor Lin appeared on the stage. Under the gaze of Daiyu and Xiangling, his whole temperament instantly softened, showing a sense of weakness as he was just recovering from a serious illness.

"Amazing."

The two of them looked at Lin Yao with bright eyes. They didn't expect him to be such a powerful actor.

"Yu'er, and Xiang Ling, please stay away for now, otherwise the show will be in vain."

Lin Yao said in a tone of dragging his weak body.

"no problem."

The two of them are not willful children. Under the leadership of Jia Min, they left here honestly without affecting Lin Yao's plan.
