Chapter 119 Good or bad cannot be definitively judged
Lu You was a clever man. He paced around the room hesitantly for a moment, when a terrifying possibility suddenly popped into his mind.
"Brother Lin, if we follow your logic, that old scoundrel said that if he were Han Shizhong, he would marry off General Yue's daughter. But have you ever considered what if General Han were Qin Hui?"
"He—" Lin Zhou looked up, his eyes widening instantly: "Xiao'e will die!"
"Yes, the death of Marshal Yue's daughter is the biggest blow to Qin Hui. Qin Hui doesn't want her to die; he wants to preserve Marshal Yue's last bloodline to quell the increasingly restless public opinion. However, if it were Marshal Han—"
"Probably not." Lin Zhou's expression was somewhat strange. "Shouldn't Han Shizhong be a good person?"
"Want to bet?"
Four words shattered all of Lin Zhou's hopes; he dared not gamble, nor could he.
Qin Hui is a treacherous villain, but he would want to protect Xiao'e for his own benefit. Han Shizhong is a loyal and righteous man, but he might sacrifice Xiao'e for the greater good.
From a broader perspective, if Xiao'e really dies, regardless of whether Qin Hui was responsible or not, her death will put Qin Hui at a significant disadvantage. Previously, Lin Zhou naively thought Qin Hui would deal with Xiao'e, but now it seems the opposite is true.
"No way! How can we gamble on this?"
Lin Zhou put on his coat and walked quickly outside, with Lu You following closely behind: "Brother Lin, where are you going?"
"Ask someone for help." Lin Zhou turned to look at Lu You: "Didn't that little book tell you that if interests align, you're friends? Well, right now my interests align with Qin Hui's."

"right!"
Just as they were about to leave, Lin Zhou suddenly stopped, his eyes darting around: "Something's not right!"
Why should I go through all this trouble?
""
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Lin Zhou didn't waste any words and turned around: "Instead of fighting wits with thin air, I'll go find Xiao'e directly!"
"Wouldn't that mean—the old thief will find out?"
"What am I afraid of?" Lin Zhou rolled up his sleeves and spat on the ground. "The kind of person who only cares about the result doesn't care how I did it."
After saying that, he shouted into the empty alley, "Someone come quick! Something's wrong!"
Soon a lean man emerged from the darkness. He came up to Lin Zhou without saying a word. Lin Zhou looked him up and down, then pulled out a handful of coins from his pocket and shoved them into his hand: "Brother, do me a favor."
The man glanced down at the money in his hand, then stuffed it into his pocket.
"Find out where Yue Fei's daughter is now, and let me know when you find out."
The man glanced at Lin Zhou in surprise, then, without saying a word, turned and disappeared into the night.
The skilled men around Qin Hui were truly top-notch. In less than an hour, a wad of paper wrapped around a stone passed through the hall and landed in Lin Zhou's shop.
He strode forward, opened the door, and saw four characters written on it: "Han Family Villa". After seeing this, he walked out of the door and cupped his hands in greeting to the surrounding air: "Thank you, brothers. Show your face sometime so I can get to know you all. I'll treat you to a meal."
"Brother Lin is quite capable; he can even mobilize these secret agents."
"This isn't me transferring the money, it's the money." Lin Zhou smiled as he clutched the note in his hand, then stood up and said, "You stay home and watch the house, I'm coming over now."
"Brother Lin, is it possible? — Then there must be heavy guards."
"Whether it works or not, it has to work." Lin Zhou pursed his lips. "I'm different from you guys. I don't have much of a brain. You guys plot first and then do it, but I do it first and think about the consequences later. Don't follow my example, kids. I have a return scroll. If you die, you're really dead."
After saying that, he tucked the pistol into his pocket, turned around, and walked out of the alley.
The Han family villa is located in the north of the city, not far from the academy. Standing at the gate, one can even see the academy's main gate. Two guards stood at the gate, and when they saw Lin Zhou approaching, they naturally raised their hands to stop him: "This is private property. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach."
Lin Zhou clicked his tongue, took two steps back, stood by the courtyard wall, and started shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Yue'e! You come out here right now! If you don't come out, I'll keep yelling until you answer! You eat my food, use my things, spend my money! You call me 'good brother' when you take your pants off, but you don't recognize me when you put them back on! Is this how your family taught you? The Yue family really has good upbringing! No wonder you're a thing born of a mother but without a father to teach you, you dare to come out and see me!"
His curses were extremely vulgar, the kind of curses you wouldn't utter unless you had a life-or-death feud. The people around him felt their scalps tingle as they listened.
They considered that Lin Zhou might force his way in, outsmart them, or even just storm in, but who would have thought he'd be here cursing in the street?
"Where's that wild energy you had in bed?! If you've got the guts, get out here! So what if your dad's Yue Fei? When you were under me, you were still calling me 'good brother,' weren't you? What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for now!"
Even the guards at the door were embarrassed by these words and quickly went inside to report.
Han Shizhong and Niu Gao were both in the room at that moment. Upon hearing their subordinate's report, their eyes widened in shock. Niu Gao glared angrily and, ignoring Han Shizhong's attempts to stop him, grabbed his weapon and charged out.
As soon as I stepped outside, I heard the shouting and cursing. This was not only an insult to Xiao'e's innocence, but also an insult to the late Marshal Yue!
"You wicked thief!"
Niu Gao roared, rushed out the door, and thrust his spear at Lin Zhou's face. Lin Zhou immediately rolled on the ground, shouting, "Murder to silence me! Someone's killing me to cover it up!"
At that moment, seeing more and more onlookers gathering around, Niu Gao almost collapsed from exhaustion.
"You scoundrel! You have insulted Commander Yue! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!!!"
"Call that woman out here and confront her! Ask her if it's true! Ask her if she called me 'good brother' when we were being intimate!"
Lin Zhou was covered in mud and his face was a mess, but he didn't care and continued to relentlessly attack the cold-looking spear.
The local people loved this scene the most. If someone were to beat a drum and curse Cao Cao, they might lose interest after just one glance. But once it was associated with the white, plump legs of Cao Cao, the more they listened, the more interesting it became.
At this moment, Han Shizhong also came out with Xiao'e. His face was ashen, and Xiao'e looked at Lin Zhou with a blank expression. She was very flustered. In front of her was her brother covered in dirt, and in her ears were those filthy words that made her wish she could die.
Her first reaction was that Brother Lin was possessed, but she was very clever and quickly realized that there must be a deeper meaning to this.
So, with tears welling in her eyes, she stepped forward and, in a hoarse voice, grasped Niu Gao's spear: "Uncle Niu, let me say a few words to him."
.
After saying that, Xiao'e stepped forward and walked up to Lin Zhou: "You—"
At this moment, Lin Zhou grabbed Xiao'e's hand, as if displaying it to the public: "You all be the judge! She accepted my engagement gifts—rice, flour, cooking oil, gold, silver, and valuables! Then she just ran away. The night before last, she was making out with me in bed, and she didn't even say goodbye. You all be the judge, is this appropriate?!"
Lin Zhou's nonsense made Xiao'e's heart tighten, but she could clearly feel that Lin Zhou's hands were trembling. That slight trembling was definitely not from excitement, but clearly conveyed to her a sense of "fear".
Once the fear was detected, Xiao'e, though unaware of what had happened, instantly understood thanks to their long-standing tacit understanding.
She immediately began to cooperate with Lin Zhou, first trying to shake off Lin Zhou's hand with force, but this was particularly clever, because with her skill in using the Yue Wang Spear, let alone shaking off Lin Zhou's hand, even if she threw him away, it would be nothing. But at this moment, she showed a posture of trying particularly hard but being unable to shake him off no matter what.
"How much money do you want? I'll pay you back!"
"Look at this! This is Yue Fei's daughter! She's been exposed and all she thinks about is giving him some money!"
Lin Zhou, his face flushed, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Isn't this bullying an honest person?!"
At this moment, Han Shizhong finally stepped forward, his face ashen, and glanced at Lin Zhou from head to toe: "Have you made enough of a scene? Why do you have to do this in front of everyone?"
"Yes! It has to be in front of everyone! Today, either she comes with me, or she stabs me to death!"
As things escalated to this point, the Imperial City Guard arrived, led by none other than Magistrate Xu Ping, with Cheng'er following behind.
Seeing this scene, Cheng'er's big eyes were full of question marks; he had no idea what was going on.
Why are these two arguing?
Xu Ping walked up to Han Shizhong and whispered a few words. After listening, Han Shizhong frowned. Sure enough, a while later Cao Wenda arrived with his men. They didn't interfere but just watched from the sidelines.
This scene clearly indicates that Qin Hui has intervened.
"Take them both back!" Xu Ping raised his hand and shouted, "Let go of their hands!"
"Don't think the Imperial City Guard is so powerful!" Lin Zhou shouted relentlessly, "I don't want anything else, I just want her to stay with me for three months to pay off my debt!"
Xu Ping stepped forward, grabbed Lin Zhou's shoulder, and twisted it. Lin Zhou immediately let go of his hand and fell to the ground, howling.
Cao Wenda stepped forward and said, "That's not right, Lord Xu. Using private punishment without asking right from wrong is probably against the rules. Besides, this is not something your Imperial City Guard should be involved in. It should be handed over to Lin'an Prefecture."
It's all a mess, everything's in chaos.
The small matter had escalated to the point where all the powers in Lin'an were involved. Xu Ping glanced back at Han Shizhong, who nodded slightly.
"Take them all away!"
Xu Ping's men immediately isolated the crowd, lifted Lin Zhou off the ground, and then left with Xiao'e.
Cao Wenda stepped forward to stop him, but Xu Ping immediately drew his knife: "This matter is special, and you have no right to tell me how to do things."
"Heh, alright. Such official arrogance." Cao Wenda crossed his arms but remained completely fearless: "But if the Imperial City Guard is biased, don't blame me for filing a complaint with the Emperor."
