Chapter 333 Save the children’s lives!
Lin Ziji said with a guilty conscience, "I will learn it later..."
Nanbao blinked her big eyes and fluttered to the window, looking outside and said, "The red light on Steward Lin's body is starting to weaken..."
Everyone looked worriedly through the window towards the middle of the yard where Butler Lin was.
Young Master Lin said solemnly, "His violent state is beginning to weaken. Without him to hold back that murderous ghost, the people downstairs won't be able to hold out for much longer. We have to find a way."
This is the final moment of life and death.
A masked man was already rushing up from the stairs.
Three snow wolves were guarding the stairs, and no one was rushing up for the time being. The stairs were small and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The three of Xueda were squatting there silently. Whenever they came up, they would bite one, especially the throat, which was the place where they could kill with one blow.
But this is not a solution. Once the old butler can no longer hold on, the situation will be hopeless and everyone will rush forward. Xue Dasan alone will not be able to hold on.
Erbao said, "Mother said that we can use poison gas as a last resort. It will kill a large area, and the poison gas is in the cellar."
"Let's go, now is the time to rush into the cellar..."
Because Jiang Lianzhu said that poison gas is too lethal and can easily cause accidental injuries, and it cannot distinguish between friend and foe. Therefore, it should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Even a little leakage can be fatal.
Erbao said, "Master Lin, you're not in good health. If you breathe in even a little bit of poison gas, you'll get sick. You can't go to the cellar with us. You should escape first, and we'll go by ourselves."
Lin Ziji frowned, "Not afraid, that's great! Let's go together with them and die together! Let's go!"
In such a chaotic situation, how could he dare to let the two little ones go to the cellar alone? Even though the cellar was just downstairs, it was still full of dangers.
Erbao looked at Lin Ziji deeply and said, "Okay, let's go, Brother Ziji." A friend in need is a friend indeed. Only now did Erbao truly accept Lin Ziji as a man of affection, righteousness and courage.
He deserves to be called brother by his second child.
As a result, Lin Ziji knocked on Erbao's little head and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you calling me? You're calling me by the wrong generation! Call me Uncle Ziji, you are the one who is going to be my heir..."
Erbao didn't say anything. At this time, Lin Ziji was still a fool.
Nanbao threw herself into Lin Ziji's arms and said, "Brother Ziji, Nanbao will protect you."
Lin Ziji picked up Nanbao and walked out of the room first.
Erbao then went to knock on Jiang Chengshi and Erya's doors. The two had already been frightened by the sounds of fighting outside.
"Grandma, Sister Erya, there are robbers in our house. Don't be afraid. The Lin family will protect us. Just come out and follow us." Erbao reminded them.
The two covered their mouths and nodded, fearing that they would scream out in fear and attract bad guys.
They were panicking at first, but when they saw that Erbao and Nanbao, two little people, were calm and composed, they knew they couldn't let them down and couldn't be less calm than them.
In addition, Young Master Lin was holding his daughter, and he looked as relaxed and calm as usual. The two of them suppressed their thundering heartbeats and followed.

Yuncheng, at night, in the dilapidated land temple, it was raining outside.
Xiangxi was soaked to the skin as he entered the temple and reunited with Liao Jiu. "Master, those people were all assassins. I led people to capture them, but when they saw they couldn't escape, they all committed suicide. One of them survived, and I interrogated him. He only said three words, 'Baihua Tower...'"
Liao Jiu nodded.
He looked coldly at the mute woman huddled in the corner next to him.
They didn't avoid her when they spoke.
Xiangxi said, "Now you know our identities. My master is Liao Jiu, the governor of the Six Gates, and I am one of the Four Great Constables of the Six Gates. Xiangxi, the person you just wanted to buy was an assassin from Baihua Tower. We accidentally saved you today. If there is a next time, you may still be alive. Think carefully! Otherwise, we will leave. Our master has important matters to attend to."
This is also what Liao Jiu meant.
Liao Jiu had already spoken to her directly, but this woman just wouldn't say anything.
We can only use strategies.
The mute woman still didn't speak. Liao Jiu lost his patience and walked outside.
He glared at the woman to the west and followed his master's footsteps.
Just as the two were about to leave the land temple, the mute woman finally spoke, "Don't try to deceive me! You think I don't know that people say Governor Liao is known as the Divine Judge. You want to impersonate him? Don't you even look at what you look like?"
Liao Jiu and the other man stopped.
He wiped off the disguise on his face and asked, "Do you recognize this Governor?"
Suddenly, the woman looked stunned.
"You, you, Wang Laowu? No, you are not Wang Laowu. The God-faced Judge Yiran looks so much like Wang Laowu..."
Liao Jiu remained calm, "Indeed, I do look somewhat similar to Wang Laowu. This Governor doesn't have much time, so stop talking nonsense and speak."
The woman was shocked again. "Governor Liao, do you know Wang Laowu?"
"Yes, I've checked him out." Yeah, and there were also Dabao, Erbao, and Nanbao. He even went to Shili Town and acted as their father for a few months...
The woman's lips trembled and her whole body became tense.
Xiangxi comforted him from the side, "Don't be afraid, tell us everything you know. Our master is known as the divine judge. Even if it's a huge injustice, our master will make the decision for you."
The woman took the risk.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll tell you, I am Li Niang! A lot of people have been chasing me recently, and I can only run away, as far as I can. But no matter how far I run, it's useless, I can't get rid of them. Since the God-faced Judge has even known Wang Laowu and the children, I don't need to hide it. I just want to ask the God-faced Judge to save the children's lives!"
They are hunting me down now. Sooner or later, they will find the children. Everyone in our Xiangwang Mansion is innocent. Our prince has not rebelled. He is loyal to the emperor and would never attack the eldest prince. The young princes in our mansion are even more innocent..."
Xiangxi found a broken stool in the land temple, wiped it clean, and let Liao Jiu sit on it.
Listen carefully to what this Li Niang says.
"Are you really from Prince Xiang's Mansion? Is Dabao the young master?"
Li Niang nodded with tears in her eyes. "Yes, I am the trusted maidservant of the Princess of Xiang's Mansion. When the mansion was ransacked, the Princess asked me to take the three children and escape through a secret passage. I have a good friend from the same hometown who is a famous prostitute in a brothel. I had nowhere else to go, so I had to take my children to seek refuge with her. Brothels are crowded places, and the most dangerous places are also the safest places. For the sake of my children, I traveled around as a brothel girl. I didn't dare stay in the capital, so I headed out. I finally fled all the way to Shamen County, where I met Wang Laowu..."
