Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.
Chapter 678 Baochai 44
Butler Lin was kidnapped, and the first person to find out was Lao Dai.
Since he was young, he had attracted the attention of the old housekeeper because of his cleverness and wit, and was sponsored to study.
Because the Lin family had a maritime business, he learned foreign languages.
When he saw Butler Lin not going out for several days, he went to Lao Li and asked where he was. Lao Li asked him in surprise, "Didn't Lao Lin go to find you?"
After this reconciliation, it was discovered that Butler Lin had been missing for three days.
"What did he say he wanted to do with me when he left?"
Lao Dai's heart was beating wildly, and he felt that something was wrong!
"Old Lin found some letters between King Beijing and people. Since they were written in foreign languages, I wanted you to translate them."
Lao Li also felt that something bad was going on.
Lao Dai thought about it carefully, and his intuition was that he was taken away by King Beijing. It wasn't just a day or two for them to keep an eye on King Beijing, so it wouldn't be surprising if they were discovered.
They are four old brothers, Lao Zhou is guarding his home in Gusu, and Lao Li is very skilled and never appears in front of others.
He was good at foreign languages and had been an official, so he only stayed outside to contact Mr. Lin's connections in the officialdom. Housekeeper Lin takes care of all the trivial matters at home.
Lao Dai expressed his suspicion and wanted to ask Lao Li to go to the Prince's Palace in Beijing to find out the news. Lao Li lowered his head and thought for a long time and only said:
"At least let the girl know."
"can not say!"
Lao Dai thought that although Lao Lin was a tough guy, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't rebel. If the girl's information is leaked from him, the girl will be in danger.
They didn't ask the girl to report it, they only informed the Jia family. If the Jia family knew about it, then the girl would know about it, and they could ensure the girl's safety.
"If it is really Lao Lin who was captured by King Beijing, he will definitely keep an eye on us and tell him to see our girl. Is she not in danger?"
"..."
Lao Li is usually taciturn, but he is also a showman. He also didn't think highly of the Jia family, and felt that it would be bad if the girl didn't know about it.
He was a bit resigned to death, and only recognized Lin Ruhai and his daughter as the main ones. He doesn’t even acknowledge what others say!
"You, you idiot!"
When Lao Li didn't speak, Lao Dai guessed that he didn't agree with his idea. He sighed deeply and could only let Lao Li do it. Whoever has the best skills, Lao Li, can't beat him.
The two of them were still arguing over whether to tell Baochai or not. On the other side, Baochai had received a letter and a brocade box.
"Who sent it?"
Baochai discovered it first and thought it was Jia Mu Baoyu who sent it.
Zicuckoo asked around, but no one knew.
"Is it from Mr. Bao Er? I didn't even write my name on the letter."
Zijuan handed the letter to Baochai, but she only looked at the brocade box.
As soon as Baochai opened it, she heard the scream of Zicuckoo.
"what!"
"What is it?"
Baochai hurriedly put down the letter and stood up to look at the brocade box. At this time, Zijuan had come to her senses. She shouted to the girl not to look at it and tried to cover it with the lid of the box.
But Baochai had already seen clearly that it was a man's severed hand.
"girl!"
Zijuan looked at Baochai worriedly, fearing that she would be frightened.
"It doesn't matter."
Although Baochai said this, she was shocked when she suddenly saw the severed limb.
In her previous life, Baochai also saw this when she was in the most critical situation. On the way to exile, the corpses that were dismembered and snatched had always been her nightmare.
I had completely forgotten it after my rebirth, but this time I remembered it all. She immediately retched, and after sitting down, she retched several more times.
"What kind of evil-hearted beast is using this to scare people! I must tell the old lady!"
While scolding, Zijuan hurriedly brought tea to Baochai to rinse his mouth. She herself was very flustered, and hearing Baochai retching made her want to vomit.
Baochai felt better after drinking water. Seeing Zicuckoo asking her mother-in-law to take away the box, she quickly called out: "Wait a moment!"
To be honest, she didn't recognize whose hand it was, but if this thing could reach her, it must be in great danger.
She quickly opened the letter and saw the arrest of Butler Lin. The letter said that I have longed for the girl for a long time and wanted to meet her in person. If you don't go, Baochai will see one piece every day. When the gift is finished and no one is there, you can only ask for it by force.
This naked threat made Baochai hesitate.
She didn't want to go, she would definitely fall into a trap if she did. But Butler Lin couldn't ignore it, otherwise the people below would be disappointed.
"Call a boy over."
Baochai thought that it would be best to find someone to contact the subordinates outside to see if Butler Lin was missing. She would delay the situation for a while, and then slowly find a way to break the situation.
"Wait, let's go find Baoyu first!"
Baochai suddenly thought that since King Beijing could arrest Butler Lin, he might also be harmful to Baoyu! Although he didn't dare to do anything to Baoyu openly, it was possible to tie Baoyu secretly and break it into pieces like Butler Lin!
They have been plotting against King Beijing for such a long time, and they should have been on the lookout for him.
But Baochai didn't expect that they could be caught in such a hidden situation.
Moreover, Ming Daming's threat was only used against the Lin family first.
When Zicuckoo heard this, she didn't even bother to instruct others to spread the message. She ran out in a hurry, caught the people from Yihongyuan and asked, "Where is Baoyu? Is Baoyu at home? Where has Baoyu gone?"
"I don't know. Second Master Bao doesn't seem to be in the yard."
The little maid Sasao only said that she had never seen Baoyu, and she seemed to have gone out early in the morning.
After Zijuan's questioning, he said that Xiren was in the yard and might know Baoyu's whereabouts.
"What's the matter with Zijuan? But what message did Miss Lin ask you to deliver?"
The attacker heard the noise outside and hurried out to greet him. When he saw Zicuckoo asking Baoyu, he smiled and said:
"Oh, didn't Baoyu tell the girl? Today, Uncle Xue and Mr. Huan are having wine together, and they insist on taking Baoyu with them. It just so happens that one of the beloved concubines of King Beijing is gone, and they made an appointment to express their regrets to the prince."
"What a bad thing!"
Although Zicuckoo didn't know that the letter came from King Beijing into the Grand View Garden, she knew that Baoyu had left the house. It's so dangerous outside now. If he encounters trouble when he goes out, who can they girls count on in the future?
When Zicuckoo thought of this, she immediately knelt down on the ground. Seeing her like this, Xiren couldn't help but laugh, and quickly asked her to question her.
But how can this be publicized? As an old lady, what would happen if she was frightened for a moment? If Baoyu is fine, how will it end if they panic and make things worse?
When Zijuan didn't know how to answer, Baochai was already very anxious at home. She hurried over and happened to hear the last few words of the attacker.
Baoyu has already gone out and entered the Prince's Palace of Beijing!
If you don’t want to go out now, you have to go out! Just when she calmed down, she saw someone coming. It was said that an old man surnamed Li who claimed to be a servant of the Lin Mansion came to the door and said that he had something to do with Miss Lin.
On the other side, Baoyu was hugged by Xue Pan and Jia Huan and entered a restaurant. Here, he didn't know about meeting King Beijing.
The person who came to spread the news didn't say anything at all. The reason why Xiren knew more was because she found out from Jia Huan's servant.
Baoyu here is about to take action against Jia Huan, after all, it is difficult to do so in the mansion. Just as he entered the restaurant, he saw King Beijing sitting on the third floor, fanning. As soon as I saw him, I immediately started laughing.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, Brother Bao! How about coming up and talking to me?"
