The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 190 Killing decisive Lin Yushi
"Kneel down!" The soldiers forced Zhang Xiaobei and Shen Guan to kneel down on the ground. However, Zhang Xiaobei was too weak and had to be held up by others. He fell down as soon as he let go.

The poisonous scholar Shen Guan can barely kneel down, but he puts his hands on the ground and sticks out his injured butt high. His posture is not ordinary. A normal person just wants to step forward and kick him. An abnormal person may be able to point out the spirit chicken. If he moves, he will be like Xue Pan, Xue Dashou and others.

At this time, Feng Ziying stepped forward and said loudly: "Master Lin, the two thieves have been brought here."

Lin Ruhai nodded and looked at the two thieves with sharp eyes. Zhang Xiaobei was very tough. Even though he was dying, he still looked at the former without fear, while Shen Guan, the poisonous scholar, lowered his head and trembled slightly. I don't know if it's because of fear or because of the wound.

Lin Ruhai pointed at Zhang Xiaobei and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhang Xiaobei took a sip and said with a ferocious smile: "I, Zhang Xiaobei, nicknamed Sai Zhang Fei, am also the fourth master of Dulong Island. Didn't you, a dog official, offer a reward for my arrest? Why do you ask questions now knowing that you know it?"

"Bold!" The soldier next to him shouted loudly, and slapped Zhang Xiaobei's mouth with the knife and sheath, knocking out two front teeth on the spot.

Zhang Xiaobei spat out a mouthful of blood and laughed wildly: "Guan Guan, I can't kill you this time. You are lucky. Just kill me. You can't even think of asking anything from me."

Lin Ruhai was shocked and angry, with a sharp flash in his eyes, and shouted: "Then I'll kill you as you wish!"

The two soldiers only hesitated for a moment, but Feng Ziying had already pulled out his sword, stepped forward and kicked Zhang Xiaobei to the ground, and cut off the head with another sharp blow. Hot blood spattered on the ground in a shocking way. fan shape, and the bloody head rolled to Shen Guan's feet.

The poisonous scholar Shen Guan was immediately frightened out of his wits. With a violent shock, his crotch became completely wet, and a smell of urine mixed with the smell of blood filled the air.

Jia Huan couldn't help but nodded secretly. Lin Ruhai was a pragmatist and decisive in his actions. In this aspect alone, the pedantic father Zheng was far behind. Moreover, Jia Zheng's political talents were mediocre. Although he usually liked to talk loudly with the Qing guests and give advice. , in fact, he had been a Beijing official for decades but had made no achievements. He could barely cope with being an academic and political official. However, when he later served as Jiangxi grain director, he was timid. He neither dared to be greedy nor offend others. Shi'er was playing around in circles and was completely confused.

When Lin Ruhai ordered Zhang Xiaobei to be beheaded, his cold eyes turned to the poisonous scholar Shen Guan and shouted: "Who are you?"

Obviously, Lin Ruhai saw that Zhang Xiaobei was stubborn, but Shen Guan was a person who was afraid of life and death, so he simply chopped Zhang Xiaobei in front of him to scare the monkey. Sure enough, Shen Guan's psychological defense collapsed in an instant. He replied tremblingly: "I was born late... I am a sinner, my name is the same, I am from Ningbo, Zhejiang, now I am in the Dragon King... I work under Gu San Mazi, sitting in the seventh position, nickname... nickname !”

Lin Ruhai snorted coldly, Shen Guan shuddered, and said hurriedly: "The nickname is Poisonous Scholar."

Lin Ruhai shouted sharply: "I have heard about the evil deeds you have done. You are worse than an animal and the crime cannot be punished. If you take it seriously and show meritorious service and atonement, I may be able to treat you leniently!"

Hearing this, Shen Guan only thought that there was still a glimmer of hope, and said quickly: "Sir, if you ask, the guilty people will definitely tell you everything, and they will tell you everything."

Lin Ruhai nodded and asked: "Who leaked my whereabouts to you? And who ordered you to attack me?"

Shen Guan hesitated for a moment, and Lin Ruhai immediately glared sharply and shouted: "Come here!"

Shen Guan was so frightened that he hurriedly said loudly: "It was Kang Wanwan. It was Kang Wanwan who asked us to attack you, sir."

As soon as these words came out, both Lin Ruhai and Zhang Yitong changed their expressions. The former said in a deep voice: "Which one is so proud of you?"

"Kanglingcheng is the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou." Shen Guanzhan said tremblingly.

Lin Ruhai and Zhang Yitong looked at each other, and the latter shouted sternly: "Is this true? If it is found to be a false accusation in the future, the crime will be increased, and the punishment of Lingchi will not be exaggerated."

Jia Huan glanced at Zhang Dongdong in surprise. This was obviously a threat. Kang Wanwan was the largest salt merchant in the Huaihe and Huaihe regions. It was impossible for his business to be so big without support from the government. He might even go to court. There are people among them. If Zhang Dongdong is so nervous, does he have some interests with Kang Wanwan?
Zhang Dongdong obviously realized that he had lost his composure at this time. He turned to Lin Ruhai and said: "Master Lin, this thief is insidious and cunning. He killed creditors, raped wives and daughters, and even insulted his mentor. His character is so low. I am The official is really worried that he will frame Zhongliang for some reason, so he must conduct strict verification and deal with it carefully."

"What Mr. Zhang said is absolutely true!" Lin Ruhai nodded.

Shen Guan said quickly: "The guilty people did not falsely accuse Zhongliang. In fact, Gu Sanmazi and Kang Lingcheng were old friends. At first, the Kang family also started by selling private salt. Later, the Kang family clung to the powerful and successfully cleared their name and became the largest in Yangzhou. The salt merchant, who appeared to be doing a clean business, actually had secret dealings with Gu San Mazi. A large amount of private salt produced by Gu San Mazi was turned into official salt through Kangling City and sold openly, with a [-]-[-] profit split.

The sinners dare to swear to God that there is absolutely no lie. Moreover, many of the letters between Gu Sanmazi and Kang Lingcheng have passed through the hands of the sinners, including the attack on Mr. Lin. Kang Lingcheng ordered Gu Sanmazi to do it. By the way, Diao Sheng, who administered the chronic poison to Lord Lin, was also arranged by Kang Lingcheng. " Shen Guan obviously risked his life in order to survive, and even exposed the matter of Diao Sheng's poisoning. Fortunately, Diao Sheng was still loyal to Kanglingcheng, kept tight-lipped, and refused to confess even after being tortured.

"Good guy, I see, that makes sense!" Jia Huan felt a sudden enlightenment.

Although Lin Ruhai was shocked and angry, he was not surprised. If Kang Lingcheng really cooperated with Gu Sanmazi, secretly laundered and sold illegal salt, and sent people to poison him, it would be normal. After all, he had severely cracked down on illegal salt in the past few years. , which has really harmed their interests. Brother Huan saw through Diao Sheng some time ago, causing Kang Lingcheng's plan to go bankrupt, and Diao Sheng fell into his own hands. Kang Lingcheng was afraid of being exposed, so he jumped over the wall and took risks, so he simply let Gu San Mazi lined up his men to ambush him.

All these are connected in series and are reasonable. It can be seen that what the poisonous scholar Shen Guan said should be inseparable.

At this time, Salt Transport Commander Zhang Yitong also fell silent, his face serious.

At this time, Jia Huan suddenly asked: "Shen Guan, if you failed to attack Mr. Lin, why did you dare to chase him all the way here and stay under siege all night? Are you not afraid that the officers and soldiers will come to rescue him?"

Shen Guan shook his head and said: "Don't be afraid, because Kang Lingcheng said that everything has been taken care of. Let's do our best and make sure no one comes to save us within a day."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Ruhai and Zhang Yitong's expressions became even more ugly, while Jia Huan was secretly relieved, and Feng Ziying was secretly happy.

The meaning of Shen Guan's words is obvious. There is a bigger figure behind Kangling City. This person can coordinate all parties and even prevent the military system from getting involved for the time being. In other words, the reason why Luo Bingzhang of Yunti Pass Qianhu Station made excuses If he delayed sending troops, someone must have told him in advance.

In other words, what Jia Huan did was not wrong. He did not wrongly accuse Luo Bingzhang and Lei Dabiao. The two people were indeed suspected of having an affair with the pirates. For Feng Ziying, the trouble of imprisoning Shangguan was gone, and she felt relaxed. , and he is the third-in-command of Qianhu Station in Yunti Pass. Both the first-in-command and the second-in-command were defeated, and now he has become the legitimate boss. Hehe, more than 1000 brothers in the entire Yunti Pass are under his command. How cool!

Although Lin Daiyu hid in the ear room, she kept leaning against the wall and listening. When she heard the confession of the poisonous scholar Shen Guan, she was trembling with anger and happy that Jia Huan had solved the trouble. I feel even more grateful.

Last time, had it not been for Jia Huan's carefulness and tact, he had discovered Diao Sheng's poison as soon as he arrived, and his father might have been dead. This time, he risked his life again and rushed out of the siege, using his incomparable wit and courage to invite reinforcements. Otherwise, I am afraid that both myself and my father will die here.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but feel knotty in her intestines, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

At this time, the poisonous scholar Shen Guan kowtowed again and said: "The sinner has told Lord Lin everything he knows. I hope Lord Lin will not break his promise and spare the life of the sinner."

Lin Ruhai said calmly: "I have always been true to my word, but what you have confessed has not been confirmed. If it is proved to be true, I will ask the emperor to ask the Ministry of Punishment to give you some mercy."

Shen Guan was surprised and happy, kowtowed repeatedly to thank him, and swore that he was not lying at all, and that he could confront the big salt merchant Kang Lingcheng in court.

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and asked someone to take Shen Guan down. He turned to Zhang Yongdong and said, "What do you think, Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Tongdong sighed and said: "I have a good personal relationship with Kanglingcheng. It's better to avoid suspicion. I will not be involved in this case. Mr. Lin will handle it impartially. If there is any need for my cooperation, I will be responsible. "

Jia Huan's heart moved. It seemed that Zhang Yongdong and Kang Lingcheng did have a special relationship. However, Zhang Yongdong behaved so slutty. Could it be that there was no exchange of interests in private?Or is it a smoke bomb pretending to be calm?By the way, it was Zhang Yongdong who proposed the new salt farm, and the location of the new salt farm was also initially selected by Zhang Yongdong. If he was involved in the plot to assassinate Lin Ruhai...

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at Lin Ruhai subconsciously.Lin Ruhai and Zhang Yitong are superiors and subordinates. They have worked together in the same system for many years and their personal relationship seems to be pretty good. Let's see how he decides.

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Okay, then I will have full authority to handle this matter. Before the case comes to light, please ask Brother Cheng Liang to stay at home and not go out."

Zhang Yongdong twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a wry smile: "It should be so."

Jia Huan secretly breathed a sigh of relief again. He was originally worried that Lin Ruhai would be too embarrassed to investigate Zhang Yongdong because of his face. Unexpectedly, he worried too much. Lin Ruhai was a practical person and did everything he did. Not only was he not embarrassed, he also said it with just one sentence. Zhang Yitong was placed under house arrest.

Of course, if Zhang Yitong is clean, doing this will undoubtedly be a kind of protection for him.
