Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Forced to Death
Yang Dai was still immersed in the two whips Han Lin had just given her. When she heard Han Lin's question, she subconsciously wanted to nod, but she quickly realized that something was wrong.
"No." Yang Dai refused to say another word, to prevent Han Lin from saying something shocking again.
When Yang Dai was young, she did have the opportunity to learn martial arts, but she was young at the time and only practiced the basic skills.
Her grandparents felt sorry for her, and although she practiced along with them, they didn't force her.
By the time Yang Dai really wanted to learn martial arts well, although the Crown Princess's order had not yet come down, the Yang family had already received the news in advance.
The Crown Prince is the heir to the throne, and the Crown Princess should also set an example for other women.
So when her grandfather asked Yang Dai again if she wanted to learn martial arts seriously, Yang Dai refused.
When it comes down to it, Yang Dai's failure to practice martial arts does have something to do with Han Lin, but it is definitely not because of Han Lin's failure to practice martial arts.
"I usually tie this whip to my body, and I take it out when there is danger." Yang Dai took her whip and swung it twice, but perhaps because she used too much force, she felt discomfort in her arm.
"You're applying force at the wrong point." Han Lin smiled, walked behind Yang Dai, and reached out to hold Yang Dai's wrist.
The heat came from behind, and the thin clothes rubbed against each other, making Yang Dai feel even more uncomfortable.
She moved, trying to break free from Han Lin's arms.
But Han Lin did not give her this opportunity.
"Don't move, I'll teach you." Han Lin's voice came from his ear, gently brushing his earlobe.
Yang Dai felt her blood rushing up, and the area behind her ears turned red for a moment.
Before Yang Dai could say no, Han Lin's wrist moved.
"Lower your shoulders, concentrate, and move your wrist." Han Lin said as he held Yang Dai's hand and started swinging the whip.
"You have little strength. If you whip me suddenly, your arm will definitely feel uncomfortable. Remember to apply medicine before going to bed at night."
Han Lin grabbed Yang Dai's wrist again and whipped her.
When Yang Dai was about to get impatient, he gently released her wrist.
"Have you remembered what I just told you? Try it again yourself." Han Lin took a few steps back, his tone gentle, as if he was really a qualified teacher.
Yang Dai touched her wrists and earlobes uncomfortably, feeling that something was wrong with these two places.
But you still have to study hard, after all, what you learn is yours.
Because he had to go up the mountain, Han Lin got up early in the morning and got busy. He brought some dry food and water and repaired his backpack.
Just as I put breakfast on the table, there was a knock on the door.
Han Lin opened the door and Hu Ping's face appeared.
"Brother Han, when are we going? I'm ready." Hu Ping said and asked Han Lin to look at the things in his backpack.
"You come so early. Have you eaten?" Han Lin was reluctant, but still made way for Hu Ping to walk into the yard smoothly.
"I was so excited that I didn't sleep well all night." Hu Ping walked in and found that there were still dishes and chopsticks on the table. Han Lin probably hadn't had breakfast yet.
"I just want to say hello to Brother Han and his wife. It's still early, so I'll go see my aunt first." Hu Ping took a look inside and quickly retreated.
It is very impolite to be a guest in someone else's home during dinner.
Yang Dai came out after washing up and saw Hu Ping leaving.
"Hu Ping has such a close relationship with the captain, why haven't I heard the captain mention him before?" Yang Dai looked at the other person's back as he hurriedly left, and thought of the captain's behavior before, feeling confused.
The Hu family is almost a local tyrant, and the team leader married the daughter of the Hu family. As long as the Hu family is willing, the team leader can be transferred directly to the commune or county.
The Huangzhuang Brigade will also benefit because the brigade leader has such a relative.
But that's not the case.
"I haven't been around for so many years." Han Lin handed the prepared sauce to Yang Dai.
"It seems that you really valued Xiao Hongzi at that time." Yang Dai stared at Han Lin for a while and suddenly said this.
When Han Lin heard the words "Xiao Hongzi", his hand that was peeling the egg paused, but he did not refute.
What Yang Dai said was indeed right. He had always been thinking about Xiao Hongzi.
So he took the initiative to make friends with Hu Ping, not only because the Hu family had various connections in the local area, but also because Hu Ping was sometimes too similar to Xiao Hongzi.
"Xiao Hongzi is really nice." Xiao Hongzi had never served Yang Dai. He had only met Yang Dai a few times, and Yang Dai still remembered him.
As Xiao Hongzi's master, it is normal for Han Lin to still care about him even though he has passed away for many years.
But remembering the rumors she had heard before, Yang Dai hesitated to speak.
If Han Lin really thought so highly of Xiao Hongzi, he would not have watched him die hugging the pillar.
But if Han Lin hated Xiao Hongzi, there was no need for him to put on a show in front of him.
"Little Hongzi wanted to die at that time." Han Lin saw Yang Dai's confusion, closed his eyes and recalled the past.
Like most eunuchs in the palace, Xiao Hongzi had a miserable family background and was forced to sell himself into the palace at a young age.
But unlike other eunuchs who cut off contact with their families after entering the palace, Xiao Hongzi always kept in touch with his family.
Not long after Xiao Hongzi entered the palace, he was transferred to serve Han Lin.
At that time, the emperor had already started giving Han Lin drugs. Although Han Lin took careful precautions, he was still more or less contaminated by the drugs.
Han Lin is not a good-tempered person. After being drugged, he sometimes can't distinguish between reality and illusion, and his temper becomes even more weird.
Everyone serving in the Eastern Palace was in a state of panic, fearing that their lives were in danger. In this atmosphere, even if the servants tried hard to smile, they still felt like a bitter gourd.
Among so many people, only Xiao Hongzi's smile looks the most sincere.
Therefore, Xiao Hongzi was soon promoted to serve Han Lin.
At first, Han Lin couldn't help but wonder, how long can this smile last while the person is serving him?
In order to make Xiao Hongzi's smile disappear from his face as quickly as possible, Han Lin often deliberately frightened Xiao Hongzi and watched him kowtow on the ground and beg for mercy.
It seems like he wants to put the smile on the other person's face on his own face.
Every time Han Lin punished his servants, he would keep Xiao Hongzi by his side. At first, he would just watch, but later he would let Xiao Hongzi do it himself.
I originally thought that this behavior would make the smile on Xiao Hongzi's face disappear, or he would beg everyone to leave the East Palace.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Hongzi not only persevered, but also gained a firm foothold in the East Palace.
In fact, because he had been in contact with Han Lin for a longer time, he dared to speak to Han Lin more boldly.
Moreover, Xiao Hongzi is very sensible and will not cross Han Lin's bottom line.
Before he knew it, Xiao Hongzi became the person Han Lin valued the most.
Although little Hongzi was on the rise, he certainly didn't forget his family. He bought a house in Kyoto and brought his whole family over. He would occasionally find opportunities to leave the palace to visit his family.
Such actions naturally caught the attention of others.
There are countless people who want Han Lin dead.
Soon someone recommended a miracle doctor to Xiao Hongzi.
The miracle doctor’s medical skills were very good. In just half a month, my parents’ illnesses had been mostly healed.
But at this time the other party put forward a condition, wanting the miracle doctor to cure his parents, so Xiao Hongzi revealed the news about Han Lin.
Xiao Hongzi was reluctant at first, but seeing his parents getting thinner day by day after they stopped taking the medicine, and the other party repeatedly emphasizing that Xiao Hongzi didn't need to do anything, he just asked Xiao Hongzi to reveal Han Lin's daily routine and study progress.
These two points were not secrets, so Xiao Hongzi soon compromised for his parents.
And if you compromise for the first time, there will be a second time and a third time.
When the other party asked Xiao Hongzi to provide Han Lin's writing, Xiao Hongzi finally realized that he had made a big mistake.
Han Lin already knew about it since Xiao Hongzi revealed his information.
Although Xiao Hongzi has been working in the palace for many years, he cannot be said to be scheming. Once he has something to hide, he will become restless.
Especially when it comes to Han Lin, ever since the news about Han Lin was revealed, Xiao Hongzi has not dared to face Han Lin.
Han Lin kept staring at Xiao Hongzi, thinking about how to deal with the servant who betrayed his master.
Xiao Hongzi was not the first servant to betray his master, nor would he be the last, but Xiao Hongzi's betrayal had the greatest impact on Han Lin.
He had already imagined the most brutal torture in his mind, which was the greatest gift he would give to Xiao Hongzi after he leaked his writings.
But Han Lin was wrong, Xiao Hongzi did not leak any more information.
He returned to the Eastern Palace and told Han Lin everything.
Han Lin felt bored. People are always like this. Even though they know they have done something wrong, they always want to kowtow and beg for mercy and try to survive.
He originally thought that Xiao Hongzi was different, but unexpectedly there was no difference.
After listening to Xiao Hongzi's report, Han Lin waved his hand and prepared to drag Xiao Hongzi into prison.
He had prepared all kinds of torture there, and Xiao Hongzi had to experience all of them before he could truly embark on his own road to the underworld.
To this day, Han Lin can no longer remember what Xiao Hongzi said exactly.
He only remembered Xiao Hongzi's last words, "I am a foolish servant. I followed my master but failed to absorb his wisdom. It is my fault that I brought trouble to my master."
"If a servant makes a mistake, he must pay for it with his life."
In fact, Han Lin had heard a lot of similar words. He thought that Xiao Hongzi was retreating to advance, but he didn't expect that as soon as Xiao Hongzi finished speaking, he bumped into the pillar next to him.
The bloodstains stained Han Lin's body, but Han Lin still looked listless.
Although hitting the pillar looks very impressive, it actually won't easily kill anyone.
However, Xiao Hongzi's courage to perform the whole show made Han Lin somewhat interested.
Han Lin waved his hand and called the imperial physician to treat Xiao Hongzi, wondering what tricks he could play after Xiao Hongzi woke up.
But he didn't expect to hear the imperial physician's diagnosis that Xiao Hongzi was already dead.
He did not die from hitting the pillar, but from poisoning.
Xiao Hongzi had hidden poison in his mouth long ago. When he hit the pillar, he bit the poison and died in an instant.
Hearing this, Han Lin, who was originally leisurely guessing how Xiao Hongzi would act next, was suddenly stunned.
He looked at the bloodstains on his clothes and closed his eyes.
Just like that, he had Xiao Hongzi dragged out, letting everyone in the Eastern Palace know that it was Xiao Hongzi who betrayed his master and was forced to death by the prince.
