Shi Xianhuang called him several times, but when there was no response, he called his servant aside and said, "I have something to do for you. If you help me do it, I will let you go home, give you the deed of betrayal, and give you a wife." How about a virtuous and beautiful wife?"
The servant just said, let the young master tell you.
Shi Xianhuang said, "You kill Zhu Ruilin for me. After killing him, I will give you a hundred taels of silver. This is just a deposit. When you return to the village, I will make arrangements for you and find a match for you."
The young man was happy. He was originally a thief. He did many things such as stealing, killing, and arson. Later, he had to deal with too many cases, so he had no choice but to wash his hands in a golden basin and work as a slave in the Shi family. He did not show any evil appearance in his daily life. The Shi family couple They only knew that he was a powerful martial artist, but they didn’t know where he came from. He took him in as a guardian and asked him to follow Shi Xianhuang to protect him. Among the unethical and unjust things that Shi Xianhuang has done over the years, he was the instigator for seven out of ten. Yes, he is not very afraid when he hears about harming people's lives.
Shi Xianhuang said, "I have already drugged him. Let's take advantage of this opportunity without further delay."
The boy asked, "Why don't you do it yourself, young master?"
Shi Xianhuang glared at him, "How could I do such a vicious thing myself? You just did it. I covered my eyes over there, don't let me see blood."
The boy agreed, walked behind Zhu Ruilin, clamped Zhu Ruilin's neck with one arm, and wrapped the noose around his neck several times, then gradually tightened it. Unexpectedly, Zhu Ruilin woke up suddenly, struggled desperately, and shouted for help. .
How could the boy let his voice get out? After he shouted half a sentence, he grabbed Zhu Ruilin's neck with one hand and put one foot on his heart. Zhu Ruilin was pushed to the ground by him, facing up to the sky, struggling endlessly.
When the boy saw that the time had come, Zhu Ruilin's struggle was getting weaker and weaker. He seized the opportunity and tightened the rope with force, and Zhu Ruilin let out a breath of cold air.
The boy repeated this several times, but Zhu Ruilin seemed to have lost his vitality.
Shi Xianhuang asked after five or six steps, "Is the person dead?"
The boy nodded.
He came over, bent down and touched Zhu Ruilin's neck, "Why is it still hot?"
The boy smiled, "When a person dies, why does the blood get cold so quickly? How long does it take?"
Shi Xianhuang was relieved, "Just put him here. I see few people come here. No one can find him for ten days and a half. When you and I come back from Qian Mansion, we will find a place to bury him."
Jin Tang'er later came to Liangzhu. That day she met Zhu Ruilin's mother. She took her hand and asked her if she could write a letter for her and send it to Liangzhu.
Jin Tanger asked her what happened, and the lady said that she had a dream about villains, who almost killed Ruilin.
Jin Tang'er took over and said, "Madam, does she know where he settled in Liangzhu?"
Mrs. Zhu said she didn’t know.
She was a little embarrassed, thought for a while and said, "Madam, don't worry, I happen to be going to Liangzhu with my family. The Jin family also has a family in Liangzhu. My second uncle's family is in Liangzhu. I will leave for Liangzhu tomorrow." , if I see Mr. Zhu, I will ask him to write you a reply, madam, don’t worry too much.”
Mrs. Zhu was still worried. She was in a dilemma, so she pulled Jin Tang'er home, took out something, put it in the box, and said, "Look at this small porcelain bowl, with the auspicious light lingering and Ziwu hovering."
However, Jin Tang'er didn't notice that the porcelain bowl was unusual, and still said calmly, "That's true."
Mrs. Zhu continued, "This bowl is called Jinliangzhan. Its contents are infinitely varied and can be obtained from time to time. My husband entrusted me with this family heirloom when he left. Although Ruilin and I did not believe it, we have never used it over the years. But I thought, maybe you should take it with you, if..." Her voice sobbed, "If Ruilin is really unlucky, please use this thing to save him."
Jin Tang'er was surprised, "This...how to save..."
Mrs. Zhu asked her to come over and said this.
She set off late. Logically speaking, she would not be able to catch up with Shi Xianhuang and Zhu Ruilin if she hurried slowly. However, the imperial examination would not start for some time. Shi Xianhuang was in a hurry to come to Liangzhu just to broaden his horizons in Liangzhu. Jin Tang'er Only then did we have time to find them before the imperial examination started.
She had always heard in her hometown that Shi Xianhuang was a vicious person, so she was worried about it. She pretended to be a man for convenience on the road and rushed anxiously to Liangzhu. She only asked her girl to go home and write a letter to her distant relatives in Liangzhu. He just said that he missed his grandfather and asked someone to help him.
As soon as Shi Xianhuang walked away with his front foot, Jin Tang'er arrived here with his back foot.
Liangzhu is quite big, and it is difficult to see everything from just the small imperial city. To find two people in Liangzhu is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Jin Tang'er entered the imperial city based on her intuition and searched for Zhu Ruilin and Shi Xianhuang, but still couldn't find them.
Just when she suspected that Mrs. Zhu had really noticed her son's misfortune, she met someone outside the inn.
Holding a landscape folding fan in his hand, he leaned on the fence and looked at her.
Jin Tang'er didn't know this person and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
The man said, "You don't need to know who I am, as long as I know why you are here."
Jin Tang'er was in a hurry to find someone and had no time to chat with him. She turned around and went to other inns to look for Zhu Ruilin's whereabouts.
The man's god said, "Impermanent body passes away, and it is difficult to pass through the world of mortals."
As soon as he heard "I have passed away", Jin Tanger turned around and came back, "What did you say?"
"The person Miss Jin is looking for, hurry up..."
"What's going on?" Jin Tang'er asked anxiously.
"You know my surname is Jin?" she responded, "when have I seen you?"
"If I say these words now, will it take up your time?"
"By the way, you know where Mr. Zhu is, right?"
The man stroked the tiger's mouth with his fan, lowered his head and said, "I know."
"Tell me quickly!"
"I want to tell you, but I also want to tell you one more thing. After you listen to this, think about whether you want to save him or not."
"Are you a fortune teller?"
The man shook his head, "I'm just a charlatan. It depends on you and me whether you believe me or not."
Jin Tang'er took out a tael of gold and said, "I'll give it all to you. Tell me quickly, where is Mr. Zhu?"
"What are you asking for when you save him?"
"Ah?" Jin Tang'er didn't understand what he said for a moment.
"You have nothing to do with him, and he has never been kind to you. You don't owe him anything, so you have no reason to save him."
Seeing that what he said was nonsense, Jin Tang'er became impatient and said, "You, you, have you told me where he is? Could it be that you don't know at all and are just bluffing here?"
The man stretched out his hand, and the brocade cup in her bag fell into his hand.
Jin Tang'er was shocked, "Give it back to me quickly."
The man smiled, "Is this yours?"
Jin Tanger shook his head, "It belongs to someone else, but I have to protect this porcelain bowl."
"What does Miss Jin think when she is surrounded by gold locks and jade shackles?"
"I have never been entangled in wealth, you don't have to tell me this."
"I'm not talking about you, but you saved him today, but he may not save you tomorrow. I wish Ruilin that if he doesn't die, his fortune will turn around, and he will have fame and fortune within three years. His beauty is not you. What I'm asking you for is this. What is it, if you don't tell me, don't I know? I can tell you clearly that he and you have no marriage, only bad fate. If there is no result with him without you, you still want to save him? "
