Return to the Red Chamber: Jia Min Xiuxian

Chapter 38
"I didn't expect Ankang to be so proficient in chess, and to delve so deeply into one of the chess pieces, that I would be defeated by my husband. I will have time to compete with Ankang Haosheng in the future."

"Ruhai has won the prize. I was taught by my father who was proficient in various arts since I was a child. He said that I can't call it a study, but I just understand it." Jia Min said modestly, but he didn't take it seriously.Because the battle appeared to be a draw, Jia Min secretly let Lin Hai fight because the twins were watching the battle from the side, and she didn't want Lin Hai to lose face in front of her sons.She hopes that in the hearts of her sons, the father is the greatest.

What's more, Lin Hai is really not weak. He has dabbled in all aspects and is excellent. This is not something ordinary people can do, and the suffering involved is beyond ordinary people's imagination.Only because I have two lifetimes of experience and know Lin Hai's habitual thinking of playing chess, I can narrowly win.I don't want to compete with this kind of plaything, and it hurts the feelings of the whole family, which is not beautiful.If you don't take a step back, everyone will be happy.

This game of chess was played for an hour and a half. At this time, the sun had already set to the west, and it was not so poisonous. Moreover, the boat was moving, and there would be some wind on the water, but it was cooler standing on the deck.Lin Hai and Jia Min asked their servants to clean up the chessboard, and took their sons out of the cabin to the deck to blow some air. The wind was not strong at this time, and it felt like the pores of their bodies were opening up like this, which was unprecedented. comfortable.

Suddenly hearing some noise on the cargo ship loading luggage behind, Lin Hai couldn't help frowning.I just thought that my servants have always been very well-behaved, and they wouldn't be like this if nothing happened, so I ordered the servant to go over and see what's going on, and if it can be resolved, I will solve it by the way.

After a while, I saw the young servant came over panting and sweating profusely, and said, "Master and Madam, what happened is this: someone on the boat behind saw a person floating on the river, and he didn't know what was going on when he thought about it. Well, considering that the Lin family has always been charitable, they can't do anything that they would do nothing to save them; if they want to save them, they are afraid of causing some trouble to the Lin family, so they are hesitating, sir?"

Lin Hai was also embarrassed when he heard it, but what he was embarrassed about was that saving people was to save them, but how to resettle them after saving was a problem.But now I don't care about so much, let's talk about saving people first, and see what their identity is before talking about it.So he immediately issued an order to save people.

A few people with good water skills jumped down there quickly, and they were caught up in a short while.Then he skillfully untied the man's clothes, and was about to squeeze out the water in his stomach, but suddenly a brand fell out of the man's clothes.When the rescuer saw the sign, he was taken aback, and hurried over to report to Lin Hai.

But what is the identity of that person?

It was mentioned last time that the servants of the Lin family found a person floating on the river during the boat, and they hurriedly reported to the Patriarch and rescued him.When it was time to give first aid, a jade tablet fell from the body of the rescued person.The rescuer picked up the sign and looked at it, he was taken aback, and quickly presented it to Lin Hai, and the rest of the people who saw it quickly kept silent.

But what brand is that?Why are all the servants of the Lin family so frightened?Ordinarily, the servants of the Lin family are not those who have never seen the world, and the prince and father-in-law have seen many, why are they so frightened?

Lin Hai was also wondering, what brand is it?When the servants came up to take a look, they immediately looked solemn.But it turned out that this was actually the badge of the emperor's hidden guard.The entire waist card is made of black jade, with a hidden character engraved on the front and a Nine Dragon pattern on the back.This is obviously owned by the hidden guards around the emperor who are used to handle secret matters.Does this mean that the rescued person is the emperor's secret guard?But how could it be floating on the river?Could it be that he was attacked?

Thinking of this question, Lin Hai was startled and dared not think about it any more.He hurriedly ordered his servants to bring the twins back to the cabin, so as to keep them safe, while he gave Jia Min a wink, motioning her to follow him to have a look.It wasn't that Lin Hai wanted to drag Jia Min into it, but that Lin Hai knew that his wife had unknown abilities, or could make things work out perfectly.

Jia Min followed Lin Hai to the cargo ship behind Lin Hai.When passing the sampan, Lin Hai came back to support Jia Min.Although Jia Min didn't need his help, he appreciated it.Looking over, it was obvious that the man had been seriously injured, with an inch-deep knife wound, the knife wounded his vitals, and the clothes on his body had already been stained red with blood, and the original color could not be seen.Although it had been soaked in water for a long time, it was still possible to see the large expanses of blood.

Jia Min turned his gaze to the servant next to him, and asked, "How is he? Is he still angry?"

"Reporting to Madam, this person was seriously injured and fell into the water. He seemed to have drank a lot of water, and he had been soaking in the water for a long time. The wound had already festered, and there was only a faint breath left." The servant replied respectfully.

"Carry him in." Lin Hai spoke.

"Yes." The servants were flustered, and carried the injured into the cabin and put them on the bed, and they all retreated with a wave of Lin Hai's hand.

After everyone had left, he opened the window again and saw that there was no one around, so Lin Hai asked Jia Min, "Ankang, can this person be saved? Could the pill be used for him?"

Jia Min replied without a trace of emotion: "As long as there is a pill, there will be salvation. What is his identity?"

Lin Hai replied in a low voice: "The emperor's secret guard."

Only then did Jia Min's dark complexion fluctuate a bit, and he regained his composure in a moment.He took out a pill from his purse and handed it to Lin Hai.Lin Hai knew that she was concerned about whether men and women would give or take each other, so he hurriedly took the pill, poured a glass of water, and fed it to the man.After that, he didn't care what the man was doing, he just ordered his servants to take care of him, and helped Jia Min back to the boat.

After returning to the room, Lin Hai relaxed a little, and had time to think about what happened just now.

That's right, just now when Lin Hai was feeding the medicine, he found a booklet, which seemed to be a ledger.Lin Hai flipped through it casually, but saw a few familiar names.He knew those people.Now he is working in Jiangnan, and it seems that they are all attached to Mingxiang.

Thinking that this is what the emperor wants to investigate, could it be that Mingxiang has already reached out to Jiangnan?And the emperor has already started to be on guard to suppress?Thinking about what the emperor said when he wanted to transfer him to Jiangnan, it seemed that he had to be more cautious when going to Jiangnan this time.

Although the emperor knew his identity, he would not do anything to him.But other people don't know!If they blocked their way, they accidentally showed their signs.It's okay for me to say that neither the wife nor the child can have an accident. It seems that I still need to discuss it with my wife, and I need to be more prepared.

Lin Hai looked at Jia Min.

Jia Min was thinking that his defense was still not perfect, and he needed to improve it.She had already checked the surroundings secretly with her spiritual sense just now, and found that a group of unknown people were searching for something on the shore closest to here.They must be looking for this person!It just doesn't look like a traitor, so why hunt down the emperor's hidden guard?
