Chapter 41: The Truth?
"Yes!"
Lin Yu nodded.
"What do I need to do?"
Zhu Zhu asked.
"Eldest lady, at first, in order to treat the eldest lady's illness, the Chen Mansion bought a lot of precious medicinal materials, presumably that Wang Shenyi knew this, and when the eldest lady was facing life and death in the past, he would say those kinds of medicinal materials."
"So what?"
"Save Lao Zhang, I need ...... Tianshan Snow Lotus! ”
"What?"
Zhu Zhumei's eyes widened.
The others couldn't help but be stunned when they heard it.
"Isn't it?"
"Lin Yu is crazy?"
"In order to save a gardener, I actually asked the eldest lady to take out the Tianshan Snow Lotus!"
"Although Lao Zhang is a good person, it is said that a Tianshan Snow Lotus is at least 5,000 taels, and Lao Zhang will not be able to pay it back even if he dies!"
……
"Miss!"
Xiaoqing frowned slightly, and pulled the corner of Chen Mengyao's clothes.
Chen Mengyao nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward and said to Zhu Zhu: "Mother, Mr. Lin's medical skills don't need to be questioned, since he said that Tianshan Snow Lotus can save Lao Zhang's life, I don't need it now, just give it to him!" ”
"Don't rush yet!" Zhu Zhu glared at her, looked at Lao Zhang, and finally fell on Lin Yu. "Mr. Lin, my Tianshan Snow Lotus is worth nearly 10,000 taels, you said that I should take it out and use it, it's too child's play, right? You must know that this snow lotus was originally to save Meng Yao's life! ”
"Mr. Lin, I can't help it...... How can I use the Tianshan Snow Lotus to cure my cheap life? ”
Even Lao Zhang was not shocked when he heard it.
Although he has saved some money over the years, it is not enough to buy Tianshan Snow Lotus.
"In this world, as long as you are not a wicked person and a lowly race, all living beings are equal, how can 10,000 taels of silver be compared to a human life?"
Lin Yu smiled at Lao Zhang, and then looked at Zhu Zhu: "Big lady, let's not talk about whether the price of your Tianshan Snow Lotus is true or false, just calculate it according to 10,000 taels!" You know I don't have that much money on me right now, so let's deduct it from my next salary! In less than a year, it should be able to be paid off, right? ”
"Uh-uh...... You're not kidding me, are you? You Lin Yu...... Do you really want to spend a tael of silver to save a little gardener? Zhu Zhuxiu's eyebrows furrowed, and her face showed surprise.
The others were equally surprised, but they were even more surprised by Lin Yu's salary.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes widened, no one expected that Lin Yu's annual salary would exceed 10,000 taels of silver.
Among them, they are not young and handsome, their eyes are shining, looking at Lin Yu, who is tall and getting fairer, they can't help but have bold ideas in their hearts.
Chen Mengyao squinted, she really couldn't figure out Lin Yu's thoughts.
These days with Lin Yu, she feels that Lin Yu is an extremely picky guy.
But who would have thought that Lin Yu would be willing to spend 10,000 taels of silver on such a gardener?
For a moment, everyone was silent.
"Big lady, quickly order someone to get the Tianshan Snow Lotus, hurry up! I have to dispense medicine immediately, Gundam, you carry old Zhang Liji and follow me to the courtyard of the East Wing. ”
After speaking, Lin Yu waved his hand and nodded towards Gundam and the others.
"Yes!"
Gao Da and the others looked at Lin Yu, their eyes flickered, and they were extremely excited, they suddenly thought that Lin Yu had done his best to help a gardener, Lao Zhang, if he was injured in the future, wouldn't he have no worries?
"No...... Yes! ”
However.
Lao Zhang grabbed Lin Yu's hand and shook his head: "Mr. Lin, that's 10,000 taels of silver, if I work honestly, even if I work for ten lifetimes, I won't be able to repay you, I'm ...... Ahem...... I ...... your heart."
"Alright!"
Lin Yu slapped his hand with a smile and said comfortingly: "Lao Zhang, you only recuperate from your injuries, and the matter of money will be talked about later, compared to human life, money is not a fart." ”
"Hurry up!"
"Yes!"
Gao Da and the others carried Lao Zhang to the courtyard of the East Wing.
Lao Zhang, who was lying on the cool bed, was still suspicious and surprised at first, but seeing that Lin Yu didn't look like a fake, his eyes gradually turned red, and he felt a sense of gratitude to Lin Yu in his heart.
……
Lin Yu prepared good medicine that night, which greatly reduced Lao Zhang's injuries.
In the next few days, Lin Yu took care of him, and even gave him medicine in the middle of the night.
Lao Zhang was so moved that he didn't know what to say, and it wasn't until the night of the seventh day, when Lin Yu finished giving him the medicine, that he rolled down from the bed without saying a word and knelt down at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu, who was packing up the medicine, was stunned and wanted to help him up.
"Lao Zhang, even if you want to thank you, you have to wait until you are well!"
"Mr. Lin, you have a life-saving grace for me, such a great kindness, I will never forget it, and I can only repay it with death!"
said.
He slammed his head on the ground.
Lin Yu was speechless for a moment, and helped him to the bed: "Lao Zhang, I finally healed your injury, why did you give him a cut on his forehead again?" You and I haven't known each other for the first time, although I don't know what the purpose of the person behind you is to let you contact me, but they haven't done anything bad to me. Moreover, if you hadn't arrived in time that night, I was afraid that I would have been attacked by that female killer! ”
"Anyway, Mr. Lin, I still have to thank you! Then I'm old Zhang...... I don't hide my true identity. As he spoke, Lao Zhang, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly looked serious.
"Real...... Identity? ”
Hearing this, Lin Yu's eyes narrowed.
Lao Zhang Zheng nodded emphatically, showing an apologetic look: "Mr. Lin, in fact, I am the secret guard of the imperial court brocade guard in the place!" ”
"Jin Yiwei? Dark Guard? ”
Grunt!
Lin Yu swallowed his saliva, and immediately stood up and stepped back, his expression complicated.
Lao Zhang didn't care, and said slowly: "Six years ago, I just returned from completing the task at the border pass, and I was planning to have a dashing time in Jiangnan after walking out of the sea of corpses and blood, but I soon received an order to go to the Chen Mansion to monitor your every move. ”
"In the past, it was very hard to do such a thing, not to mention any extra reward, but this time, not only can you get a reward of five hundred taels of silver every year, but you don't need to risk life and death, you just need to watch you on weekdays."
"Okay, you old Zhang! Therefore, you don't know the identity of the gold owner at all, even if I use the means of interrogation against you, you will hide it from me! Don't forget, I fed you poison! Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? ”
Lin Yu gritted his teeth, although he had wondered why Lao Zhang's skills were so good, he didn't expect that the other party was actually from the government.
"First, I don't know who the man who sent me is. A low-level secret guard like us has a lot of tasks, and you only need to do what you want, which has been the rule for a hundred years. Second, I'm not stupid, although you fed me medicine before, and I will have itching every few days, but it is definitely not a deadly poison, with my martial arts, in fact, it will be over after enduring it. ”
Lao Zhang's face was sincere.
"Uh......"
The corners of Lin Yu's mouth twitched, and he pointed at him with his finger, speechless for a long time.
"So, you don't know what happened to the man you saw by the river that night?"
After a moment of silence, Lin Yu expressed the doubts in his heart.
In fact.
During this time, Lao Chen's consciousness has always been clear, but Lin Yu did not ask.
What he wants is for the other party to tell the truth honestly.
"Before he died, he did reveal his origin, and I was also surprised." Sure enough, Lao Zhang at this time no longer had the slightest concealment.
"Speak quickly!"
Lin Yu's eyes lit up!
The reason why he spent 10,000 taels of silver to save Lao Zhang was for this moment.
The man said...... He is a person sent by the Jinling Mansion! ”
"What? Fucheng? ”
Hearing this, Lin Yu touched his chin, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't figure it out.
Lin Yu thought as he walked back and forth in the house, and then said, "Do you know this mansion?" Why did he send you to spy on me? ”
"This ...... I don't know. Secret guards like us, as long as the password is right, will carry out the mission. I really don't know why Jinling Mansion sent me to you! ”
Lao Zhang thought about it, and finally shook his head puzzled.
"That's right!"
Lin Yu snapped his fingers suddenly, his eyes burning: "I asked the female killer, it seems that she secretly shot me with an arrow before, almost shooting me to death, she said that it was the people in the Chen Mansion who saved me, the one who saved me...... Is that you? ”
"I ......"
Lao Zhang looked inexplicable.
