Chapter 686: The Charges Are Proven, Save Lin Xuelan Again
The Lin family is in the mansion in Kyoto.
As soon as Lin Luo came back, Lin Xuelan and the others hurried to greet him and asked anxiously: "Second uncle, what happened?"
Lin Luo shook his head, sighed, and then cursed again: "Before the eldest brother was arrested, everyone was so friendly at the wine table, and they looked like they could stick their swords in their brothers' ribs, but now something happened, everyone is like a turtle, afraid of provoking us, and they are unwilling to help."
Lin Xuelan heard this, and her heart sank to the bottom of the valley. A day has passed, and she doesn't know how her father is now.
"Second Master, what about Princess Deyi? After all, she is the daughter of the eldest princess. Although the eldest princess is gone now, we still have some friendship with her father. Maybe we can ask Princess Deyi for help." Han Yang knew that it was a bit "excessive" to ask Princess Deyi to help rescue people just after the eldest princess died, but now he has no choice but to do this.
"Old Han, I went to look for her, but the people in the Princess's Mansion said that Princess Deyi is not in Kyoto at the moment." Lin Luo sighed. So far, he has tried everything.
Lin Xuelan, Yuzhu, and Han Yang all lowered their heads, their faces solemn.
The atmosphere was extremely depressed and pessimistic.
After a long silence, Lin Luo said in a deep voice: "If it really doesn't work, we can only ask Diao Hong for help. We need to make things clear to him and see what our Lin family needs. Only then will Diao Hong let my eldest brother go."
"Shouldn't we ask the third prince for help?" Yuzhu asked with some doubts.
"For now, the third prince should not know about this. Otherwise, if the Lin family colluded with Louwo, the government would not only arrest my eldest brother, but the entire Lin family would be implicated. When we first entered Kyoto, we were already arrested by the government, but now we are fine. This means that Diao Hong is using the third prince's skin to deal with the Lin family." Lin Luo pondered.
"And we can't go to the Third Prince about Miss Shuang'er. What if what Miss Shuang'er said is true..." Han Yang also spoke up.
Mentioning Shuang'er, Lin Luo asked casually: "Xue Lan, how is Miss Shuang'er?"
"She can get out of bed. The medicine that Mr. Mo gave her before he left is really magical." Lin Xue Lan was a little surprised.
Lin Luo frowned and said: "Miss Shuang'er is a trouble if she stays here. Xue Lan, what do you plan to do with her?"
"Second uncle, I've thought about it. I plan to hand her over to Princess Deyi, and let Princess Deyi judge whether what she said is true or false. Since Princess Deyi hasn't come back yet, we can only wait for Princess Deyi to come back." Lin Xue Lan said.
Princess Yanyang was "assassinated". As the only blood of the princess, Princess Deyi will definitely come back after hearing the news.
Lin Luo nodded. It can only be like this.
"Miss, you guys chat first. I'll go downstairs to cook first." Yuzhu said.
Lin Xuelan: "Yeah."
Just when the three of them were thinking about whether there was a better way, Yuzhu, who had gone downstairs to cook, suddenly came back and said in panic: "Miss, it's bad. The soldiers surrounded our house and said that we colluded with Louwo and betrayed the country. They have already broken in."
"What?"
Lin Xuelan, Lin Luo, and Han Yang were all shocked.
As they were shocked, dense footsteps came from outside the hall, accompanied by a burst of noise:
"Go over there and search carefully. Don't let anyone escape."
Lin Luo frowned and wanted to go outside to check the situation, but Han Yang had already left the hall and closed the door of the hall:
"Second Master, Miss, let's go quickly. We can't all die here, otherwise there will be no one to save the master. I will lead them away."
All this happened too suddenly. When Lin Xuelan and the other two reacted.
The noise outside became even noisier.
"Someone, come quickly, he ran away, chase him..."
"No, Han" Lin Xuelan's eyes were red, and she was about to shout, but Lin Luo covered her mouth, knocked her unconscious, and handed her to Yuzhu: "Take the lady through the tunnel, I'll go find Miss Shuang'er."
The arrival of the soldiers made Lin Luo vaguely realize that what Miss Shuang'er said might be true.
But whether it was true or not, judging from the group of people chasing Shuang'er outside the city before, they even wanted to kill everyone they saw.
If the soldiers found Shuang'er in the Lin residence, they would not let them go.
Yuzhu nodded, carried Lin Xuelan and left, very decisively.
As for the tunnel, any larger family in Yelang would build one at home, just in case.
...
On the other side, Chen Mo, who had been watching in the tavern for a day, decided to go to Lin Xuelan for help.
As soon as he arrived at the Lin Mansion, he saw a large group of soldiers outside.
The scene in front of him immediately made Chen Mo frown.
This Lin Xuelan is indeed a trouble. It has only been a short time, and the soldiers have surrounded the mansion.
He did not want to help, but he heard the onlookers say that the Lin family colluded with Lou Wo, and the girl Shuang'er who assassinated Princess Yanyang was instigated by the Lin family and developed into a spy.
This reminded Chen Mo of the black-clothed masked man who silenced the witnesses outside the city.
If Lin Xuelan and the others were caught, they might give him out, and then they would still be in endless trouble.
"I shouldn't have agreed to her at that time. It's really troublesome." Chen Mo gritted his teeth, walked around the crowd, and then took out a handkerchief on a deserted ground, covered his face, knocked out the soldiers guarding the back door of the Lin Mansion, entered the Lin Mansion, and muttered to himself:
"After the matter in Yelang Kingdom is over, you must ask for reward from Lin Xuelan."
…
The officers and soldiers who rounded up the Lin family were led by the steward He from the third prince's residence.
In the view of the third prince, the fact that the Lin family was able to reach the capital safely despite being intercepted by the Diao family showed that there were obviously experts among those accompanying them. Therefore, in addition to many fifth-grade warriors, the people sent to surround and kill also included military personnel. The elite among them work together in perfect harmony.
When Chen Mo came in, he happened to see the captured Han Yang being smashed into pieces by a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe and looking a little elegant. At this distance, Chen Mo wanted to save him. It's definitely too late.
This made Chen Mojian frown. These officers and soldiers were not just here to arrest people, they didn't want to survive. Han Yang had clearly lost the ability to resist just now.
Chen Mo did not stop, avoiding the sight of the officers and soldiers here, and turned to look for others.
The words are divided into two parts.
On Lin Luo's side, as soon as he explained the situation to Shuang'er, he heard a whoosh, a rocket passed through the window paper, and shattered a vase placed on the table in the room, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
Lin Luo's face changed when he saw this scene, and he shouted in his heart: "It's over, we've been discovered."
The behavior of the officers and soldiers was obviously not just about arresting them, they seemed not to care about their lives at all.
Shuang'er, who had just gotten out of bed, covered her chest and said weakly: "Uncle Lin, don't worry about me. Just go. I'll cover you."
With that said, Shuang'er glanced around the room, trying to find a handy weapon.
While she was speaking, more and more rockets were fired into the house. These arrows were filled with kerosene and could be said to ignite at the first touch.
Soon the house was filled with flames, and the burning smoke made the two of them cough continuously.
The two of them were not ignorant. They immediately found a piece of cloth, wet it with tea, and covered their mouths and noses.
Then Lin Luo picked up a stool next to him and threw it towards the window, hoping to create a hole to release the smoke from the room and allow him to break out through the hole.
However, as soon as the stool smashed a hole in the window, dense arrows shot in through the hole.
If it were an individual, I might have been shot into a hedgehog just now.
Lin Luo's face changed slightly.
Just when Lin Luo thought he was finished, there was a wailing sound outside the house, and there were far fewer rockets fired into the house.
"Good opportunity." Lin Luo turned around and said "go quickly" to Shuang'er. He was as quick as a cheetah. After rolling on the ground, he jumped and rolled out of the broken window, just in time to solve the problem outside. Chen Mo, an officer and a soldier, looked at each other. Lin Luo's expression changed as he glanced at the corpses lying on the ground.
Lin Luo didn't recognize Chen Mo with his face covered. Although he didn't understand why the masked man helped him to save himself, the first thing in his mind was to run.
Seeing that Lin Luo was about to run away, Chen Mo quickly stopped him: "Master Lin."
"Master Mo?" Lin Luo paused when he heard this familiar voice.
"Where are Miss Lin and the others?" Chen Mo walked over and asked.
"Ahem." At this time, Shuang'er also turned out of the window. She might have been injured, coughing violently. When she saw Chen Mo, her eyes were full of doubts.
"Yu Zhu and Xue Lan have already entered the tunnel. I came to take Miss Shuang'er, but I didn't expect to be left behind. Thank you Mr. Mo for your help."
Lin Luo didn't introduce to Shuang'er for a while, but just as he was talking, he saw another burst of footsteps not far away.
Someone else is coming.
"Master Mo, follow me to the tunnel quickly." Lin Luo said urgently.
"You go first."
After entering the tunnel and walking a certain distance, in order to prevent the officers and soldiers from finding the tunnel and chasing after them along the tunnel, Chen Mo collapsed the tunnel behind him with a palm.
…
The other end of the tunnel is connected to a dry well in a house two streets away.
With the Lin family's wealth, there is certainly more than one house in Kyoto. This house is not as big as the previous Lin house. It was purchased by Lin Xuelan's father in the name of the Hu family.
It is also the first house purchased by the Lin family in Kyoto.
At this time, Lin Xuelan had woken up and climbed out of the dry well with Yuzhu.
"Grandpa Han" Lin Xuelan looked sad, and her eyes were swollen from crying.
"Miss, don't be sad. Mr. Han will be fine?" Yuzhu comforted him from the side.
After the two women climbed out of the dry well, they did not leave immediately, but waited for Brother Lin Luo and Han Yang.
Not long after, there was movement under the dry well.
"Yuzhu." Lin Luo shouted from down the well.
"It's the second master."
"Come and help me."
Yuzhu helped pull Shuang'er out of the dry well.
Lin Luo and Chen Mo came out of the dry well one after another.
Chen Mo glanced at the surrounding environment and said: "This is not a place to stay for a long time. Come with me. My place is relatively safe."
"Master Mo?" Lin Xuelan stopped sobbing, raised her red and swollen eyes, looked at the masked Chen Mo, and said immediately: "Why are you here?"
"Mr. Mo just saved me and Miss Shuang'er, otherwise my uncle might not be alive to see you again. These officers and soldiers want our lives." Lin Luo interrupted.
"Ahem, are you the Mr. Mo who Miss Lin said saved me before?" Shuang'er coughed and turned her gaze over.
Chen Mo said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's leave first."
"Master Mo is right," Lin Luo said.
This house is also registered with the Kyoto Yamen. It won't take long for the officers and soldiers to find out and find it.
"But Grandpa Han hasn't come out yet, Mr. Mo, can we wait for Grandpa Han for a while?" Lin Xuelan looked at Chen Mo pleadingly.
Chen Mo sighed: "Old Han can't come. When I just arrived at the mansion, Old Han was killed by the soldiers."
"What?"
Lin Xuelan's pretty face turned pale, and her delicate body became shaky. If it weren't for Yuzhu next to her to support her in time, she would have fallen to the ground.
Lin Luo's face also became very ugly, but he was not as emotional as Lin Xuelan after all, and said: "Yuzhu, take the young lady and Princess Mo away."
As he said that, Lin Luo carried Shuang'er himself. He certainly couldn't trouble "Mo Yu" again because of this matter.
...
In a small courtyard in a remote alley in the city.
Finding people in Kyoto is a time-consuming job, so Chen Mo paid for someone to help him rent a courtyard here.
There are not many rooms in the courtyard, only two rooms.
Originally, Chen Mo let Nalan Yiren and Si Song live in one room, and he and Liang Mu lived in one room.
But Nalan Yiren took the initiative to ask to share a room with him.
Chen Mo took Lin Xuelan and the others to his room.
Nalan Yiren and the other two were not there, and they were still watching people in the restaurant opposite the tavern. Today, they temporarily hired someone to watch the tavern.
Lin Luo helped Shuang'er lie down in the room, and then curiously asked about the three people around Chen Mo.
Chen Mo said, "They are not here because of something."
Lin Luo did not ask any more questions after hearing this.
"Thank you, Mr. Mo, for saving my life." Seeing that they were safe for the time being, Shuang'er expressed her gratitude to Chen Mo at this time.
"Mr. Mo, why are you here?"
Seeing that the young lady was still in grief over Han Yang's death, Yuzhu could only ask for the young lady first.
"I came to ask you for help, but when I got to the outside of the mansion, I saw that the soldiers surrounded your place. I heard that Miss Shuang'er, who assassinated Princess Yanyang, was a spy from the Lin family. Since the soldiers came to surround them, it seems that the collusion between your Lin family and Louwo has been unilaterally confirmed by the court." Chen Mo said slowly.
Yuzhu and Lin Luo looked at each other and their faces sank.
They knew that the worst had happened.
If the charges were confirmed, unless the current emperor and the third prince said to release him, Lin Kong would not be able to get out.
However, what Lin Luo is most worried about now is not Lin Kong, but the Lin family in Jincheng.
"No, I have to go back to Jincheng. Now the charges have been unilaterally confirmed, and collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country is a crime that will punish nine generations of the family. I must go back to inform my sister-in-law and the others to run away." Lin Luo's face changed drastically.
