Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

The next morning, white cloths were draped inside and outside the Lin family's courtyard.

In the middle of the mourning hall stood a black lacquered coffin, and Lin Daiyu, dressed in white mourning clothes, knelt on a straw mat.

Little Dragon Girl stood to the side with a complicated expression.

Shi Qingxuan walked in carrying a porcelain bowl and shook her head helplessly.

"Miss Lin, you can't kneel like that anymore, your body won't be able to take it."

Lin Daiyu stared blankly at the coffin in front of her, then suddenly slumped to the side.

Little Dragon Girl swiftly caught the person in her arms.

"Miss Lin!"

Shi Qingxuan walked over quickly and touched her wrist.

"Get her to bed first; she's severely depleted of energy and blood..."

Xiaolongnu picked him up and carried him to the side room in the backyard.

Li Mochou couldn't help but purse her lips when she saw his weak appearance.

"His physique is really not good."

Little Dragon Girl put the person down and reached out to pull at the collar of the other person's clothes to let her breathe, but she suddenly stopped when her fingers touched the fabric.

My gaze fell on the girl's left shoulder, where a red birthmark in the shape of a butterfly was imprinted on her skin.

Li Mochou stepped forward, bent down, and took a look.

"This mark is exactly the same as the one on your body."

Little Dragon Girl touched the front of her clothes.

Shi Qingxuan took his pulse and said, "It seems that you and this Miss Lin are really close, Long'er."

For some reason, Xiaolongnu looked at Lin Daiyu's pale face and felt a strange emotion welling up inside her.

This is her biological younger sister, who is related to her by blood.

Several footsteps were heard in the corridor outside, and Qin Han pushed open the door and walked in.

"What happened?"

Li Mochou casually recounted the story of discovering her birthmark.

Qin Han walked to the bedside, placed his palm on the girl's back, and slowly transmitted his internal energy to her.

Not long after, the girl on the bed had a slight flush on her cheeks, and after her eyelids twitched a few times, she opened her eyes.

She instinctively shrank back when she saw the strange man sitting next to her.

Little Dragon Girl comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Brother Qin is helping you recover."

Lin Daiyu recognized the people standing in the room as those her father had entrusted to her before his death the day before.

"Your Highness, about my father's funeral arrangements..."

Qin Han withdrew his true energy: "I will have someone handle Lord Lin's matter."

Lin Daiyu lowered her head and wiped her face with her sleeve.

"My father was honest and upright his whole life, but he ended up like this. I have no power to avenge him, but I know where the twelve keys to avenge him are hidden."

Qin Han raised an eyebrow. "He also has a private treasury?"

Li Mochou asked curiously, "What private treasury?"

Lin Daiyu slowly reached to the neckline of her inner garment, took out a bunch of brass keys, and handed them over.

"There are twelve keys here, corresponding to twelve underground warehouses. The things that Cai Jing and the Yuwen family embezzled are all inside."

The gold and silver were worth three million taels in total, in addition to salt permits and grain. When my father found out about these places, he didn't have a chance to report it because it was a very important matter, so he kept the keys.

He felt that even if these things were handed over, they would eventually fall into the hands of corrupt officials, so it was better to wait for someone capable of serving the people to appear before handing them over.

Qin Han reached out and took the bunch of keys, weighing them in his hand. No wonder Cai Jing and Yuwen Huaji wanted to kill Lin Ruhai; it turned out he had such a valuable private treasury.

"Lord Lin is indeed meticulous."

Lin Daiyu coughed twice, her eyes filled with hope.

"I beg Your Highness to seek justice for my father and kill all those enemies! Even if I have to work as a maid in the Prince's mansion from now on, I will never have a single complaint."

She bit her lower lip until it bled because she spoke so forcefully.

Little Dragon Girl patted her back.

"Brother Qin is a good person; he won't let those bad people get away with it."

Lin Daiyu looked at the woman in white in front of her.

"Sister... Sister, my father said before he died that you are the daughter he lost many years ago."

Little Dragon Girl remained silent, unsure whether she should acknowledge this younger sister.

"I have no one close to me except you now. If even you don't want me anymore, I don't know what I'll do."

Little Dragon Girl couldn't bear to see this, so she hugged the man.

I acknowledge you.

Li Mochou stood to the side watching the two embracing, and turned her gaze away somewhat uncomfortably.

Qin Han held the key in his palm, looked at the two of them, and said something.

"Don't worry about getting better. Lord Lin won't have died in vain."

Then he looked at Shi Qingxuan.

"Qingxuan, could you please stay at the manor these next few days and check on her health?"

Shi Qingxuan glared at him, annoyed.

Light footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and Lin Pingzhi stopped outside the door.

"My lord, everything has been settled."

Qin Han walked outside.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lin Pingzhi followed behind and walked out.

"It's not hard work. There's another matter. Several big merchants in Hangzhou heard that you've arrived and sent word that they want to meet you, saying they have a big business deal to discuss."

Qin Han walked forward along the corridor.

"What kind of business?"

Lin Pingzhi quickened his pace and moved closer.

"From what they said, they wanted to buy the salt permits we had, and that money was no object."

Qin Han snorted coldly.

"These people are really fearless. They probably guessed that the Lin family's account books are with me and wanted to spend some money to sound them out so they could be safe."

Lin Pingzhi nodded.

"That's what I think too."

Qin Han noticed that Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu had followed him out, but he didn't mind that they had overheard.

Keep walking forward.

"Leave them alone for now."

Lin Pingzhi took out a rolled-up piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it over.

"I have also found out the exact location of the Valley of Heartbreak. It is located in the Ziwu Valley outside the city, and there are some formations set up outside it."

"But it doesn't look too difficult to break. Should we arrange for carriages and horses now?"

Qin Han took it and casually flipped through it to look at the route.

Yang Guo, Gongsun Zhi.

Qin Han stopped and turned around to look at Xiaolongnu who was following behind him.

"Long'er, would you like to go to the Valley of Heartbreak to see Yang Guo?"

Little Dragon Girl hesitated for a moment.

"I taught him before, so I should go and see him."

Li Mochou rolled her eyes.

"That guy recognized Ouyang Feng as his godfather and left you alone in the woods. If it weren't for me... humph."

The words were left unsaid, but it was clear what would happen next.

Little Dragon Girl sighed, "He lost an arm; it's his just desserts."

Qin and Han rolled up the parchment and stuffed it into their clothes.

"Then let's go take a look."

"Qilin, summon Shen Luoyan to Hangzhou to deal with these merchants. Eliminate all those who are involved with Cai Jing's gang."

Also, notify Pang Qingyun to bring men to guard the Lin family residence and prevent any unauthorized personnel from sneaking in.

Lin Pingzhi cupped his hands in greeting.

"clear."
