Chapter 61: How to Rescue the Children
What's going on? Who brought this?"
"Xiao Song brought it, and the little guy in the Jasmine Mansion sent it over last night when he was keeping vigil in the gatehouse."
Lin Zhuyun pinched the empty sachet suspiciously, and suddenly felt that the feel of the sachet fabric was a little strange.
She rubbed her index finger and thumb together and said, "Xiaotang, give me the scissors."
Xiaotang immediately took out a pair of small scissors from the wardrobe and handed them to Lin Zhuyun.
Lin Zhuyun held scissors in his hand and carefully cut the sachet along the line sewn by the sachet.
Sure enough, there was a mezzanine inside, and there was a note in the mezzanine.
Lin Zhuyun unfolded the note, but frowned deeply after reading it.
Xiaotang asked on the side, "Miss, is something wrong?"
Lin Zhuyun lay down on the bed and sighed, "Sister Yufei said that the children of the Shan Kingdom in the Moxiang Mansion will be sent to Beijing at the beginning of next month."
"What can I do? Miss, you promised Miss Jiang Yu that you would help her save those children."
Lin Zhuyun rubbed his index finger and rubbed his eyebrows: "Yes, I promised her."
After a while, Lin Zhuyun got up: "Xiaotang, freshen up for me, I want to go out."
Lin Zhuyun, who was dressed in an azure dark pattern brocade skirt and wore a jade hosta, walked out of the courtyard gate and came to the gate of Kuang's mansion.
She pretended to be unintentional and dangled at the gate of the two mansions: "Why hasn't this carriage been set up yet?"
After wandering for a while, she deliberately pretended to talk casually next to the servants of Kuang's mansion: "Why haven't you General Kuang been seen recently? But did you lead the troops to the border again?"
Although the servants of Kuang Mansion don't know what the relationship between the two mansions is now, after all, Lin Zhuyun is still the young lady of Lin Mansion, and he respectfully replied: "No, General Kuang said that he had something to go out, and he has been out for several days, but he hasn't come back yet."
"And when will he come back?" Do you know?"
There was a slight puzzle on the servant's face, and for some reason Lin Zhuyun suddenly cared so much about Kuang Lonely: "The little one doesn't know. However, I remember that General Kwong brought a lot of packages, so I think I will be going for a while."
Lin Zhuyun saw that his expression was suspicious, and smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just ask casually."
Then she turned her head to Xiao Song, who was standing at the gate of the Lin Mansion: "Take me to see, why hasn't the carriage been set up for half a day."
Komatsu bowed respectfully, "Miss come with me."
After entering the house, the master and servant all tacitly agreed not to go to the stable, but returned to the room.
Lin Zhuyun was anxious at this time, there was no news from General Kuang's side, but the Jasmine Mansion couldn't wait, especially Jiang Yu, Fang Cai even said in the letter that if Lin Zhuyun had no choice, then she was ready to take a risk and take them out of the Jasmine Mansion on a dark and windy night.
Lin Zhuyun's index finger kept tapping on the coffee table, showing the anxiety in her heart.
Xiaotang and Xiaosong didn't dare to speak.
The heavy atmosphere in the room lasted for a long time, and suddenly Lin Zhuyun's mind came to mind what Jiang Xianxu had said to her last time in Dongshan Temple.
It is to let Lin Zhuyun immerse himself in a medicine in the jade carving of Shanggong Shengshang carved by Lin's father.
"Isn't it...... Is this the only way?"
Komatsu asked softly, "Miss, what do you say?"
Lin Zhuyun lowered his head: "He wants to train these children from the Shan Kingdom to enter Beijing, but he just wants these children to assassinate the emperor for him. The assassination is already dangerous, and the child's young mind and body are immature, and the success rate of the assassination is certainly not high, not to mention that if the assassination fails, there is a great possibility that he will be exposed."
After a pause, she continued, "If there was a safer, more secretive alternative to assassination, he would have agreed to release the Shan children in exchange."
Komatsu exclaimed, "Miss! Are you going to agree to the man's request?!"
Lin Zhuyun closed her eyes tightly, her hands clenched into fists tightly, and the pain of her nails poking into her palms made her mind more sober.
How could she really be willing to poison the jade carving of Lin Ji's tribute? If she did, she would be repeating the mistakes of her previous life.
If you don't get it right, everyone in the Lin family will face the destruction of their families again!
But now, is there any other way for her?
After calming down, she let go of her fist: "I want to pretend to promise him first, and exchange for those Shan children in the Jasmine Building. After that, whether I can get down or not to deal with this poison, isn't it still in my hands?"
Xiao Song heard Lin Zhuyun's words, and was so anxious that he took a big step forward: "However, Miss, your move is completely contrary to what you promised him to persuade Miss Jiang Yu to train them before! For the sake of these children who have nothing to do with you, you are suddenly willing to risk the destruction of Lin Ji's family, this is unreasonable! He's not going to agree, he's going to start doubting you!"
"But what else can we do now? Do you want to let Sister Yufei impulsively run away with those children? They can't succeed, and the only thing that awaits them is death."
"But...... But ......."
"You don't have to say it, there is only one way, for the sake of those children, for the sake of my love with Sister Yufei, I have to try. I'm going to prepare the carriage, and I'm going to Dongshan Temple today."
Xiaotang suddenly knelt at Lin Zhuyun's feet at this time, hugged Lin Zhuyun's calf and cried, "Miss, no! I don't know how deep your affection for Miss Jiang Yu is, I only know that if Miss really listened to the words of the master of Dongshan Temple, and the Lin Ji jade carving was destroyed, Miss You'll definitely regret not being the first in the future!"
Lin Zhuyun's heart was also a mess at the moment, and she looked at Xiaotang under her feet and didn't know what to do for a while.
Xiaotang was still sobbing and said, "The slave begged Miss to wait, isn't there still a few days until next month?" Brother Tietou told me before leaving, General Kuang and the two of them will travel day and night this time, and they will come back as soon as the matter is completed! Miss, you'll just wait two more days, two days, okay?"
Lin Zhuyun counted the days for a while, and said in a calm voice: "I can only wait for a day and a half, and wait until noon the day after tomorrow, if General Kuang has not come back after noon the day after tomorrow, I can only go to Jiang Xianxu first."
"Hmm! I'm sure General Kwong and Big Brother Tietou will be able to come back." Xiaotang wiped a handful of tears and said heavily.
Sunset over the West Mountains.
Lin Zhuyun sat alone in the room, always feeling worried about Jiang Yu.
She called Xiaotang: "Help me tie my chest and change into men's clothes, I still have to go to Sister Yufei tonight."
Jiang Yu was not surprised by Lin Zhuyun's coming.
After she withdrew from the maid who was waiting in the house, she eagerly asked Lin Zhuyun, "Sister! Do you have a way to get these kids out?!"
Lin Zhuyun's body stiffened, and a look of shame appeared on his face: "To tell the truth, not yet."
Jiang Yu's face instantly lost blood: "How come?!" Didn't you say you were trying to figure it out?! And doesn't that mean there are helpers to help you?"
Lin Zhuyun lowered his head: "But...... It is already very difficult to rescue them from Jasmine Mansion, I asked the mother in charge before if I can redeem these children at a price, but the mother in charge said that she is only entrusted with training, and if she can't hand over people at that time, then she herself will not be able to protect herself."
"Then you can't find a way to get them out secretly? Or hire a bunch of people to forcibly snatch it out?!"
"Sister Yufei! Don't you know that they are actually Jiang Xianxu's important pawns?! Even if we forcibly get them out, what do we do next? Hiding in the Lin Mansion? The Jasmine Mansion reported to the official, and the official could find the Lin Mansion with a check. Sent back to Shan? We don't have the ability to guarantee that we won't be discovered by Jiang Xianxu's secret guards, and we can't afford to escort such a group of children out of the customs."
Jiang Yu sat down on the chair when he heard this, staring at the door with empty eyes.
After a few moments, she abruptly got up and walked out of the room.
Just when Lin Zhuyun was puzzled, she brought back to the room a Shan boy who was about six or seven years old.
Jiang Yu pulled the girl in front of Lin Zhuyun and lifted her blouse: "Sister, just take a look, these are the scars they left when they were trained in the Jasmine Building recently."
Lin Zhuyun looked at it, although the ointment had been applied, the scars on his chest and neck were still shocking.
"This is the most well-behaved and intelligent of them all, and she has so many signs of humiliation on her body, you can imagine how the other children have suffered."
Seeing this, Lin Zhuyun sat silently and did not speak.
Jiang Yu didn't speak, silently put down the girl's clothes, and took her back to the small room where they lived.
After returning to Yufei Pavilion, Jiang Yu walked up to Lin Zhuyun and sat down: "Have you ever thought about it, if they were really sent to the palace to be prostitutes, how many times would they suffer insults and torture than they are now?!" And...... We all know in our hearts how dangerous what Jiang Xianxu has made them do, and whether the result is success or failure, what awaits them is death."
Lin Zhuyun's heart was cold, indeed, although they were all children who did not understand the world, they were also Jiang Xianxu's dead soldiers. The assassination of the emperor, whether the assassination was successful or not, they could not survive in the end.
Jiang Yu looked lonely and continued, "They are still so young, they don't deserve such a rancid life. Moreover, their parents and relatives were all killed by Jiang Xianxu, Jiang Xianxu is my younger brother, even if it is to atone for Jiang Xianxu, I have to fight hard to save them."
After the two were silent for a long time, Lin Zhuyun opened his mouth.
"Sister Yufei, these children, whether it is for conscience or for other reasons, I will definitely save them. I just beg you not to be reckless, you are a weak woman alone, even if I am outside to answer for you, there is no way to save them all. I just beg you to wait for me for two days, the day after tomorrow! If I don't have any other way to rescue me the day after tomorrow, then I will personally go to Dongshan Temple to negotiate with Jiang Xianxu."
Jiang Yu frowned lightly and asked suspiciously, "Negotiation? Do you have anything to negotiate with Jiang Xianxu?"
Lin Zhuyun smiled bitterly: "Sister Yufei, you don't have to worry about this. I have what he wants, more useful than these Shan children. If I say it, he'll agree."
"Really? Yes...... Will it hurt you?"
Lin Zhuyun shook his head bitterly: "I can't hurt it for the time being."
Jiang Yu heard Lin Zhuyun say this, and held Lin Zhuyun's hands tightly: "Sister, those children are counting on you."
Lin Zhuyun nodded, but he was uneasy in his heart, and he didn't know the bottom at all.
A day passed, and Kuang Lin and Tietou did not appear.
Lin Zhuyun's heart was half cold, and Xiaotang's little face was also wrinkled and full of worry.
Lin Zhuyun, who was ready to go to Dongshan Temple on the second day, didn't dare to sleep, and played the piano all night in the courtyard.
Her fingernails were split, and the blood soaked the strings, but she still didn't dare to stop.
She wanted Kuang to hear the piano as soon as she arrived, knowing that she was waiting for him. Then, just like the night of the Lin family's grandfather's death, he came over the wall and saved her from fire and water like a divine soldier descending from heaven.
The sky was bright, and Lin Zhuyun's strings broke with a "boom-" sound.
Kuang Lin still didn't come.
