Red House Shoufu

Lin Shu never imagined that one day he would almost fall into the hands of a woman.

In his previous life, he watched a lot of dog-blood plots in film and television dramas. In this life, Lin Shu has always implemented the principle of a knife on the head of the color character. Qin Lou and Chu Guan only eat melons, and never pick wild flowers outside.

The sound of the pistol was very loud, and Jia Lian, who had been paying attention to the small courtyard, rushed in quickly, only to see Lin Shu's thigh was bloody, and his whole body was on the verge of falling, but the dagger in his hand was firmly pressed against the neck of the little woman in front of him. .

"How courageous, I really don't know how to live or die!"

Jia Lian drew his saber and was about to slash, but Lin Shu called out weakly, "Cousin Lian, don't worry, keep someone under the saber..."

It's not that Lin Shu cares about flowers and cherishes jade, it's because this woman has a lot to do with it. Whether the White Lotus Sect in the south of the Yangtze River can be wiped out has a lot to do with this little woman.

Mrs. Tang's calculation finally failed. Lin Shu, who had taken the antidote, sat on the chair and let the Lin family's soldiers apply the medicine to bandage him.

Fuquan's face was full of guilt, and he stared at Mrs. Tang and her maid with glaring eyes.

"Mrs. Tang, Benhou came here today at an appointment. Mrs. Tang's behavior really taught me the clever tricks of the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect. It's just that what Mrs. Tang said before, I can't believe it easily. This matter Let's stop here, let's set up our opponents and fight, as for the matter of recruiting and surrendering, stop here!"

In fact, whether Lin Shu or Mrs. Tang present here, including Jia Lian and Liu Xianglian who were sitting by the side, knew what happened today, and basically it would not affect the overall situation of the cooperation between the two parties.

These words of Lin Shu are more of a kind of anger after being calculated, and an attitude of wanting to see the White Lotus Sect.

Sure enough, Mrs. Tang, who was ashamed just now, regained her grace, got up and saluted Lin Shu, and said softly: "It is true that I was wrong about the matter just now, as long as Lin Hou is willing to deal with me, Jiangnan Bailian Teachers and subordinates, all listen to the order of Lord Hou!"

"It's not the order of my lord, it's the order of His Majesty!"

Lin Shu interrupted Mrs. Tang's words, and emphasized again: "The White Lotus Sect is a cancer of all dynasties. It uses the name of religion to confuse innocent people, extract money, and gather people to rebel... its crimes are beyond description!"

When Madam Tang saw that Lin Shu had described the Bailian religion so unbearably, she couldn't help being angry.But following what Lin Shu said next, a soft light appeared in her beautiful eyes.

I saw Lin Shu sitting on the grand teacher's chair, like a great Confucian giving lectures, his sword eyebrows were slightly opened, and his eyes seemed to be full of sighs for the suffering of the people.

He said slowly: "What the people want is food, clothing, housing and transportation. What the people want is to support the old and support the young. The White Lotus Sect uses the suffering of the people in the name of religion to lure them to spend their last penny. Grains of rice are extravagant, forged weapons, coercing innocent people to rebel. As far as I can see, in Henan and Shandong, every time the White Lotus Sect kills officials and rebels, it is all about taking advantage of the lives of innocent people to serve those rudder masters. , Hall Master's personal gain to fight for that chance."

"Madam Tang, if I hadn't listened to what you said, the Jiangnan White Lotus Sect has been relatively stable these years and has not taken advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Just relying on past crimes, when the Japanese Marquis goes to Jiangnan, it will be the day when the army sweeps the Jiangnan bandits. "

Mrs. Tang stood up and bowed half sincerely and half hopefully, saying that she did not dare: "The women dare not lie to Lord Hou. Since the day women mastered the White Lotus Sect in the south of the Yangtze River, those who harmed the people in the sect have been basically eliminated, and now they are staying in the sect. Most of them are hard-fated people. I also ask Lord Hou to take pity on these hard-fated people like us, and leave a glimmer of life for us."

"I hope so, what you said today, I will let people carefully investigate and screen. If it is true, after I go south, I will look for opportunities to find a way out for you!"

Lin Shu stood up, walked up to Mrs. Tang, frowned and asked, "Benhou asks again, why are you thinking of trading your innocence for an ambiguous possibility today?"

Madam Tang's pretty face flushed, and the redness around her neck was visible to the naked eye.

I just heard her reply: "Everyone in the capital said that the Lin family's heirs are difficult, and there is still no good news about Lin Hou's marriage, so he thought that if... if he had an heir, Lin Hou might see it for the sake of the heir. superior……"

"Bullshit!"

After Lin Shu understood the whole story, he couldn't help saying angrily: "The Lin family will never accept coercion. Even if you really succeed, Lin will not trade the safety of the country and the well-being of the people for the so-called heirs."

snort!
Lin Shu snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and left.

Jia Lian and Liu Xianglian looked at each other in surprise, and they both smiled wryly.

Liu Xianglian stayed to clean up today's mess, while Jia Lian quickly walked out of the house and followed Lin Shu.

"This little lady is quite pretty, and my cousin is able to hold on to the drug, which is an eye-opener for Brother Wei."

Jia Lian made a joke, Lin Shu glanced back and saw that there was no one around, so he bent down slightly, and said, "I miscalculated, I didn't expect to fall into the hands of a woman."

Lin Shu put his hands on Jia Lian's body, and slowly walked to the carriage with the help of external force.He whispered: "At that time, I also forced myself to pull the trigger. I didn't expect to be used to being cautious. I loaded the ammunition and saved me. Otherwise, how can I explain to Sister Yuan when I go home?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Jia Lian couldn't bear it anymore, and burst out laughing.He helped Lin Shu move forward slowly, and continued to joke: "What's the matter? It's normal for a big man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that they are all delivered to the door, that is, you, let others like this , I would think there is a problem with him.”

"I hope you can say it so hard in front of your cousin..."

Lin Shu glanced at him angrily, and continued to explain: "I am an official, and she is a bandit. Even if she came to seek security, officials and gangsters are not at odds. If I really do what she wants, I will not deal with it from now on." No matter how proper it is, this matter will become an indelible stain. If something goes wrong in the future, what happened today will become a stain for others to criticize me."

Hearing this, Jia Lian also put away his cynicism.

Compared with Lin Shu, he has a slightly carefree personality, and he pays much less attention to this aspect on weekdays.

"My cousin is right. I was being careless on my brother's behalf. But after today's incident, we can basically confirm that Mrs. Tang really intends to vote."

Lin Shu nodded. He glanced back at the small courtyard and said solemnly: "No matter what, it's better to be cautious. Let the Embroidery Guards go and check first. If it is true as she said, the White Lotus Sect in Jiangnan can do it." Become a sharp blade in the hands of the imperial court, maybe it can be used to severely damage or even uproot the White Lotus Sect everywhere."

Jia Lian also agreed with this point: "It is a good idea to use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son!"

"Not only that, the officialdom in Jiangnan is almost monolithic. Maybe after I go to Jiangnan, I can use the White Lotus Sect to pry open the shell of this old turtle!"

With Jia Lian's help, Lin Shu boarded the carriage, got into the carriage, opened the curtain and told Fuquan, "Go back and tell Tang to write down all the names and addresses of the White Lotus Sect in the capital, and then send them to Zuo Dudu's place. Today's injury can't be in vain, someone has to pay the price for this injury!"

……

Lin Shu didn't feel safe when he returned home, Wang Yuan exclaimed after seeing the blood stains on his legs, and with a pale face, she sent someone to the palace to call for an imperial doctor.

After the imperial doctor cleaned up the wound thoroughly, he re-applied the medicine and bandaged it. After tossing for a long time, Lin Shu finally lay down on the bed safely.

Wang Yuan took the boiled soup and fed it to Lin Shu spoon by spoon.In a daze, Lin Shu heard Wang Yuan ask: "Is the Tang family really beautiful?"

"So-so, how can any woman in the world be as beautiful as my little sister Yuan!"

Lin Shu, who was full of desire to survive, naturally had to say something at this time. Wang Yuan knew that her husband's words were 100% just to coax her, but she still accepted the answer happily, and just stuck to Lin Shu's side, hugging him He buried himself in Lin Shu's arms.

Lin Shu took this opportunity to explain the ins and outs of this matter in detail, and by the way once again expressed his loyalty to the relationship, which made Wang Yuan feel more at ease.

"So, this Mrs. Tang is also a hard-working person!"

Wang Yuan, who let go of her guard, was naturally sympathized with by the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect.

She said: "I remember the Yanhu riot in Yangzhou, which triggered civil unrest in Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou. If the imperial court had not dispatched soldiers and horses from the Jiangnan camp to suppress it, tens of thousands of people might have been killed or injured. This Mrs. Tang It's amazing, to be able to control most of the Bailian Sect's troops in the south of the Yangtze River step by step under such a situation..."

Speaking of this, Wang Yuan poked Lin Shu irregularly with her small hands, and said with a smile, "Have you ever thought about taking Mrs. Tang into your pocket? Such a character can be worth thousands of troops!"

Lin Shu grabbed Wang Yuan's restless little hand, and threatened: "If you move around, I will eat you! Tang's meeting is also at the right time. In fact, there are many people in the White Lotus Sect in a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River." They have their own livelihoods. Compared with the poverty in Henan, Shandong and other places, the White Lotus Sect in Jiangnan is less willing to rebel. Tang is good at management and can bring a lot of money to the White Lotus Sect. This is how she can climb the White Lotus Sect step by step. The reason for teaching the position of the Virgin. Do you still remember the painting of the Qinhuai River that Brother Liu said?"

"Husband means that the boat is operated by the Tang family?"

Hearing Wang Yuan's question, Lin Shu nodded and said: "Ninety-nine are close to ten, Tang's husband's family name is Tang, and he runs ship gangs, river workers, and water transport in the south of the Yangtze River. , such a luxurious place by the Qinhuai River, how could it be possible not to have a hand in it. You know, the best places to inquire about news are restaurants, teahouses and Qinlou Chuguan. "

Wang Yuan suddenly realized, and suddenly had a feeling of disgust towards Tang.

Speaking of people's sense of people is so strange, when Wang Yuanchu asked such a strange woman like Tang, he felt sympathy for the misery she experienced and admired her achievements.

But now, hearing Lin Shu's talk about the gambling house and brothel, and thinking about Tang's owning these businesses, Wang Yuan remembered the stories she had heard before.

Gambling houses and brothels never lack innocent souls!

There were more than ten years when human traffickers were rampant in Jiangnan, and countless cases of missing children and children were reported to Suzhou Prefecture every year.

Her father, Wang Qi, used to be a Tongzhi in Suzhou. When he came back from the yamen, the most common thing he said was how many innocent children's bones were buried in the underground of gambling houses and brothels.It's a pity, he's just a little comrade, and he can't be the master to eradicate this group of monsters!
Thinking of this, Wang Yuan couldn't help shivering.

Lin Shu looked down at his wife: "Ma'am, what's wrong?"

Wang Yuan sighed and said, "I originally thought that Mrs. Tang would be a rare woman since she knew the general trend so well and could suppress the White Lotus Sect from harming the people. I didn't expect that in her hands, there were still gambling houses Whore houses earn her bloody dirty money!"

"Oh, this kind of thing is inevitable!"

Lin Shu thought of the Madonna of the White Lotus Sect who looked like a white lotus today, and sighed slightly: "People are selfish, maybe when her parents were around, as a lady of the family, she should have the same compassionate heart as my wife. But after she has experienced a series of tragic experiences such as the early death of her parents and the oppression of her clan, her heart has to be hardened."

"It's forced by the world..." Wang Yuan sighed.

Lin Shu nodded, and continued: "Perhaps she did intend to use the power of the White Lotus Sect to take revenge at first, and then use powerful power to change the lives of people who had similar misfortunes with her... It's a pity, when she stood on a high ground Over time, people's hearts slowly change."

Ugh!
Lin Shu let out a long sigh: "It's funny to say, this Mrs. Tang's family name is Lin, and she is also from Gusu. Madam, do you know what the first thing she did after taking control of the Yangzhou White Lotus Sect?"

Wang Yuan tentatively replied: "Revenge? Revenge on those clansmen who bullied her?"

"Half right!"

Lin Shu smiled wryly: "That year I was still keeping my filial piety at home, and I heard my uncle mention it. The three people from Lin Family Manmen 110 in Wujiang County disappeared overnight..."

Wang Yuan exclaimed: "I remembered. Daddy mentioned that the government sent people to investigate. All the Lin family members in Wujiang County disappeared. Some people said that they were killed by innocent people! Later, the case was delayed. Broken, so far I have not seen anyone alive or dead."

"Dead, thrown into the Taihu Lake by the Tang family to feed the fish!"

Lin Shu's answer frightened Wang Yuan. Lin Shu hugged her in his arms and comforted her: "Of course, not all of them are dead. Those children who grew up were taken under his command and became members of the White Lotus Sect. Those old people Both of you and your lord were sunk into Taihu Lake by the Tang family, no matter they were innocent or not. In the words of the Tang family, although those people never really bullied her, but these people allowed the clan elders to run amok, but none of them spoke out to stop her. innocent!"

"Crap!"

Wang Yuan briefly commented on this matter in two words, and wanted to refute but didn't know how to say it.

Lin Shu touched her pretty face, and said with a slight smile, "It's true. The clan elders hold the power in the clan. What can those ordinary clansmen say? It's just crazy. To put it bluntly, these words are just the reasons she made for herself to deceive herself!"

The husband and wife discussed Tang's affairs for a while, and the topic that Wang Yuan raised inadvertently gave Lin Shu an inspiration.

The great power of the Jiangnan clan greatly influenced the policies of the local government.If you want to really pry away those gangsters in the south of the Yangtze River, it is better to start with the clans in the countryside.

Those country gentlemen who oppressed kindness in the past seem to be the first fire that his new official took office...
