Jia Jing took off the scarf wrapped around her face. Although it was no longer so cold in the south, Jia Jing was marching in a hurry after all, so the night wind was still biting.
Jia Jing looked at Yangzhou City in front of her and shouted in a deep voice: "Liu Ze! Open the way ahead! Don't stop! Surround Yanzheng Yamen!"
"yes!"
So Yanagize took the horse forward. Although Yangzhou Mansion's soldiers were almost in a semi-disabled state, they were still three thousand cavalry, so they could still be seen from a distance, so those who were in a hurry had to
Close the city gate!
Who knew that Jia Jing held Shang Fang's sword high and shouted: "The Emperor's Sword is here! Who dares to stop me? Open the city gate quickly! Let me in!"
The soldiers in Yangzhou Prefecture had never seen what the Emperor's Sword looked like, but Jia Jing's roar still shocked them. They would rather believe that they have it than believe that they don't have it... These people can tell they are regular troops just by looking at their equipment. Who else to say?
Do you dare to joke about this kind of thing?
So while hesitating and dazed, Jia Jing had already rushed into Yangzhou City with three thousand cavalry! Yanagize opened the way in front, so Jia Jing and others quickly arrived in front of the Yanzheng Yamen!
The Yanzheng Yamen was already under martial law at this time. When the saltmen saw Jia Jing coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and drew their swords on guard: "Who is coming?"
Jia Jing said in a deep voice: "Jia Jing, Marquis of Ning State! You sir are my uncle! Get out of the way!" The salt men were stunned, and Jia Jing said in a deep voice: "Lin Ruhai, Mr. Lin is my uncle! I will give you a chance to go.
Report, go quickly!"
The saltmen hesitated for a moment and were about to drive Jia Jing away when they saw an official walking out and said to Jia Jing, "I dare to ask, but in person to Marquis Ning?"
Jia Jing said in a deep voice: "I am Jia Jing! Who are you?" The official hurriedly raised his hands and said: "This official is an official of the Yanzheng Yamen. I have been ordered by Mr. Longxi to take the Marquis in!"
Jia Jing was stunned when he heard this: "My husband is here too." The official nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, Mr. Long Xi arrived half a month ago and is resting inside at this time. Mr. Marquis please come."
As soon as Jia Jing heard that Zhou Huan was here, she immediately frowned tightly, and then hurriedly followed the official in. As expected, she saw Zhou Huan sitting inside and drinking tea leisurely.
Seeing this, Jia Jing hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to greet him. Zhou Huan smiled and nodded, then looked at Jia Jing and said, "It's been a hard journey. I've heard about your affairs. The affairs in Southwest have been handled well."
.”
Jia Jing hurriedly held up her hands and said, "It's all my teacher's teachings." Zhou Huan laughed and said, "I never taught you how to fight!"
Jia Jing didn't have time to say this anymore, so she just smiled, and then said slightly anxiously: "Sir came here half a month ago, and Uncle Lin's illness..."
The smile on Zhou Huan's face slowly faded, and then he sighed slowly after a moment of silence. Jia Jing couldn't help but feel her heart sink when she saw this: "Sir, just tell me, how is my uncle doing now?"
Zhou Huan did not answer, but just stood up and said: "You come with me." Jia Jing's heart beat more and more, and she hurriedly followed Zhou Huan with her brows furrowed and walked inside.
The two passed through the Yanzheng Yamen and arrived at the back house of the Yamen. When they walked to Lin Ruhai's bedroom, they saw several women coming out. They should all be Lin Ruhai's concubines. When they saw Zhou Huan, they all acted honestly.
As a gift, I looked up and saw a young man!
Everyone was shocked, but when they saw Jia Jing's appearance, they couldn't help but clench their legs slightly! They gasped.
Jia Jing didn't even look at them, but followed Zhou Huan and walked in. After entering, she smelled a strong smell of herbs, which made Jia Jing's heart sink even more!
But then Jia Jing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Although Lin Ruhai was lying on the bed, her clothes were intact. Although she was a little sick and frail, and her face was frighteningly pale, she didn't have the gray and gloomy look of a dead person. She just looked like that.
The look on the face of someone who has lost a lot of blood.
Jia Jing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and then she couldn't help being surprised when she saw the people around Lin Ruhai: "Tan Lao? Why are you here?"
I saw that the person who was checking Lin Ruhai's pulse was the same person who followed Jia Jing all the way south to talk about the old man after Jia Jing came out of the water village!
After Jia Jing arrived in Yangzhou, he stayed for one night. By that time, it was already the New Year. Jia Jing and the others spent the New Year together on the boat. After arriving in Yangzhou, Jia Jing stayed for one night, and Tan Fu sent Tan Yifeng back to follow him.
Tan Yunxian's father, Tan Gang, told Tan Gang that he was afraid that Tan Gang and the others would be worried.
After that, Jia Jing went to Jinling again. At that time, Jia Jing was busy dealing with matters in Jinling. Tan Yunxian and Tan Yunxian did not disturb him. He only asked Qingfeng to say goodbye on his behalf, and then went home.
Until a few days ago, Zhou Huan suddenly came to his door. At that time, Tan Fu was still a little strange. He recognized Zhou Huan as Jia Jing's master, so although he was wondering why Zhou Huan wanted to find him, he still warmly entertained him.
.
After getting to know Tan Fu, he found out that Zhou Huan was looking for him to save his life! He said that he wanted to secretly take a doctor back to Yangzhou. It would be too dazzling to bring others with him, but Mr. Tan had appeared in Yangzhou, and those salt merchants
I was impressed by Tan Lao, so I asked to come to visit.
Tan Fu agreed at that time, but when Tan Gang heard that he wanted to take the doctor with him secretly, he wondered if it was something dangerous, so he refused. Zhou Huan had no choice but to admit his identity and express his absolute commitment.
This is the case because of an extremely important event for the country and the dynasty!
Tan Gang agreed, but he still asked Tan Yifeng to protect Mr. Tan and come to Yangzhou! Zhou Huan originally thought that Mr. Tan was so old that he might at most be able to use a medicine to hang Lin Ruhai's life. Really waiting
For treatment, Jia Jing has to come back and ask a doctor to be safe!
Who would have known... Mr. Tan just offered a hand, and with such a little trick, Lin Ruhai, who originally looked like he was about to die, was actually pulled back from the critical point of life and death!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jia Jing looked at Lin Ruhai who was smiling weakly at herself, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. She didn't know whether she was worried that Lin Ruhai's death would ruin the overall situation of Yangzhou, or whether she was worried that Lin Ruhai's death would ruin the overall situation of Yangzhou.
I don’t want a little girl who loves to cry to die from tears...
But no matter what the reason was, Jia Jing was still very worried about Lin Ruhai's physical condition, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai nodded slowly and said in a weak and hoarse voice: "Huiyu, are you back?"
Jia Jing bowed slightly and said: "Yes, I'm back." Lin Ruhai nodded slowly, then took a breath before continuing: "West, things in the southwest..."
Jia Jing said hurriedly: "It's all solved, uncle, don't worry." Lin Ruhai nodded, and just as he was about to say something, Zhou Huan stepped forward and sighed: "Okay Ruhai, you are still sick now, what can I do for you?
It won’t be too late to tell you when you are better.”
In the past, Lin Ruhai must have been disloyal. He knew his own body well. Even if he lost his life, what would he have to fear if he dedicated his life to the country?
But after going through this, he realized that he actually didn’t understand his body at all! And during the days when he was lying in bed waiting to die, his mentality could be said to have changed dramatically!
He regretted it! He almost begged to pray to heaven. He had never done this before! He had always thought that "the son has no words, strange powers and gods!" But now he is begging to heaven in a rare way!
He wanted another chance! Only now did he realize that if he died, there would really be nothing! If he kicked off his legs now, the situation in Yangzhou would return to what it was more than ten years ago when he first came here! Or even worse.
Oops!
When he died, the career he had worked hard for all his life and devoted so much suffered a devastating blow! What about his biological daughter? What will happen to her without her father's care?
Lin Ruhai had never thought about this before. People would start thinking randomly as long as they were free. The more Lin Ruhai thought about it, the more afraid she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she regretted it!
So when Zhou Huanyi said this, Lin Ruhai nodded after hesitating for a moment, then held Zhou Huan's hand with tears in his eyes, and Zhou Huan nodded understandingly.
Lin Ruhai choked up and said: "I regret that I didn't listen to Wen He's words, which led to today's disaster!" As she choked with tears and couldn't speak, Zhou Huan smiled and patted Lin Ruhai's shoulder and said with a smile: "I've woken up now.
It’s not too late, Ruhai, take good care of yourself and wait until you feel better before we talk about anything else.”
Lin Ruhai nodded, and Jia Jing also said a few words of comfort, and then followed Tan Fu out. After everyone sat down outside, Jia Jing asked about Lin Ruhai's condition.
Tan Fu smiled and said that Lin Ruhai has actually recovered to some extent today. Lin Ruhai and Daiyu are not in good condition. Daiyu is a congenital defect caused by her mother's womb, and Lin Ruhai is too tired and cannot support all functions of the body.
!
But this is not the main reason. The main reason is that someone has been "poisoning" Lin Ruhai for a long time! Maybe it is not poison. According to Tan Fu, it is a drug that improves Lin Ruhai's recovery ability and hematopoiesis.
The ability is getting worse and worse!
According to Jia Jing's understanding, Lin Ruhai actually has a lot of sores and abscesses in her body now, which are all metabolites that cannot be excreted from the body!
Jia Jing hurriedly asked what to do, and Tan Fu hesitated for a moment and said: "My method is to use medicine slowly and supplement it with acupuncture, but the results are very slow. I'm afraid I won't have to stay in bed for three to five years to recuperate.
I’m afraid it’s difficult to get rid of.”
Jia Jing fell silent after hearing this. Lin Ruhai would definitely not risk his life for the so-called important affairs of the country now, but three to five years in bed would inevitably be a bit too long...
Tan Fu said to Jia Jing again: "Actually, I know a method." Jia Jing said hurriedly: "Tan Lao, please tell me!"
Tan Fu twirled his snow-white beard and said: "I heard that Wang Yuanjian of Taiyuan Hospital seems to have done a lot of research on Western medicine in recent years. When we were together, we heard him mention it twice before, saying that it was Western medicine.
The first priority of medical skills is to eliminate diseases, which is convenient and quick. Although it damages the heaven and earth and damages the foundation, the foundation can be restored slowly, but the pathology cannot keep up with the speed of eliminating the disease!"
Tan Fu twisted his beard and said: "So I think that if there is an emergency that cannot be delayed for a while, I am afraid that Western medical skills are more sophisticated!"
Jia Jing pondered, this place is not very far from Guangdong. At this time, go to Guangdong No. 13 Bank to kidnap a Western doctor?
Tan Fu saw Jia Jing's intention and couldn't help but smile: "There is no need to worry about Mr. Lin's condition. He is definitely not in danger for the time being. The old granddaughter Yunxian seems to be inexplicably familiar with Western medical skills during this period."
I'm very interested, maybe if the Marquis is really anxious, he can take her over and have a look first."
Jia Jing was stunned, Tan Yunxian also knows Western medical skills? Jia Jing hurriedly replied to Tan: "Then I dare to ask Miss Tan if she can perform this kind of surgery now?"
Although Tan Fu is a Chinese medicine practitioner, it is all about medicine after all, so Tan Fu was stunned for a moment and roughly understood what Jia Jing meant by "surgery", so he smiled bitterly and shook his head...
Tan Yunxian just read about medical skills by herself, and sometimes made strange gestures with a knife on her body. Before, she even hinted that she would find a skeleton to study...if she hadn't known that she was studying Western medical skills.
, they are going to invite a dancing master to come and show her...
Although it did not stop her from continuing to study Western medical skills, she was never allowed to mention such bluffing things! So Tan Yunxian should not be able to do any surgical operations...
Zhou Huan smiled and said to Jia Jing: "Since Tan Lao said it's not in a hurry, we don't have to perform this or other surgery on Ru Hai so quickly, but... you do have to go to Jinling!"
Hearing this, Jia Jing looked at Zhou Huan with confusion and said, "What do you want me to do in Jinling, sir?" Zhou Huan smiled and said to Jia Jing, "Ruhai made this plan with me after he recovered from his illness. Since it is
If someone wants Ru Hai to die miserably, then we might as well come up with a plan to get it right!"
Jia Jing was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately reacted. She smiled excitedly at Zhou Huan and said, "I understand what you mean, sir. You mean to call me..."
Zhou Huan nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, pretending to be stupid is your strong point!" Jia Jing smiled awkwardly when he heard this. Before the Emperor was in trouble, he often pretended to be irritable in Shenjing in order to protect himself.
He was so dandy that he even broke the legs of all the disciples of Hong Zhixun at the birthday banquet of the Supreme Emperor...
Others don't know it, but Zhou Huan always knows it, because Jia Jing's temperament was dark and cautious at first. Zhou Huan finally became fair and honest after being taught, but Jia Jing is still suspicious and cautious at heart.
At the end of the year, he became a reckless man?
Therefore, except for Zhou Huan, few people knew that Jia Jing did this on purpose just to dispel the suspicion in the Supreme Emperor's heart!
It was not until later that Jia Jing was granted the title of Marquis and something happened to the Supreme Emperor that Jia Jing gradually revealed some of his true nature. At that time, someone slowly started to show off... This little bastard may have been playing the role of a hypocrite before.
That set!
So at this time, Zhou Huan asked Jia Jing to use the trick of pretending to be stupid again, probably in order to deceive the people in Yangzhou City!
】
People in Yangzhou know Lin Ruhai very well, and even know Zhou Huan very well, but they definitely don't know Jia Jing!
As Zhou Huan is a quasi-sage, they also have many ways to hang Zhou Huan high up so that he can't get down, so that he can't fight with them in person!
But Jia Jing is different! As the most popular powerful person now, Jia Jing can almost be said to have no taboos! Jia Jing is a complete stranger that they can't figure out, let alone a Jia Jing in a violent state! That's even more
It’s an existence they don’t understand at all and are terrified of!
Jia Jing figured out what Zhou Huan meant, which was to let Lin Ruhai continue to pretend to be sick, and then slowly catch the big fish in Yangzhou City! In other words, during this period, Jia Jing might have to fight with them!
Jia Jing then asked Zhou Huan with a smile: "How big of a fuss are your husband and uncle planning to make?" Zhou Huan rolled his eyes at him, then smiled and said word by word: "The bigger, the better!"
Jia Jing was stunned when he heard this: "No, it won't be such a big fuss?" Zhou Huan smiled and said to Jia Jing: "The imperial court has appointed Ru Hai's new appointment."
Jia Jing was stunned when he heard this, and then said with great joy: "Uncle, has he been promoted?" Zhou Huan smiled and nodded: "Although the position in the central government has not yet been confirmed, the six ministers are definitely indispensable."
Jia Jing couldn't help but be even more happy when she heard this. If Lin Ruhai can really become a high-ranking official like Six Ministers in the central government, it can be said to be very good news for the founding fathers! It can be said to be the best for Jia Jing herself.
There is no more news!
Zhou Huan continued: "The imperial court appointed Tao Peng, the new governor of Liangjiang, to concurrently serve as the salt censor of the Huaihe River..." Jia Jing was stunned when he heard this. The meaning of Emperor Yongxi's decree was unfathomable!
The first was to transfer Lin Ruhai back to Beijing. Jia Jing could basically understand this. Emperor Yongxi was short of money. The head of the Household Department, Tan Jing, could take charge of the duties for a short period of time, but he simply couldn't hold it in the Household Department for a long time!
So Jia Jing speculated that Lin Ruhai was probably the firefighter who went back to put out the fire for Emperor Yongxi! He was the one who was urgently promoted to the Ministry of Accounts to clean up this pile of bad debts first!
But the appointment of Tao Peng immediately made Jia Jing feel a little confused again...
What does it mean for the Governor of Liangjiang to concurrently serve as the Salt Inspector of the Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers? It means that from now on, the position of the Salt Inspector of the Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers will be gradually abandoned! And the functions of the Salt Inspector of the Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers will be gradually transferred to Liangjiang.
In the hands of the Governor!
Why is the position of Lianghuai Salt Patrol Censor established separately? It is to protect the governor of Liangjiang. Firstly, the massive salt tax can not be handled by the governor of Liangjiang, ensuring the "integrity" of the governor of Liangjiang. Secondly, the governor of Liangjiang can transfer more
Focus on other government affairs in Liangjiang and don’t be distracted by salt affairs!
But now Emperor Yongxi wants to cancel the inspection of salt in the Huaihe River. What is the reason? It is very simple. The meaning of Emperor Yongxi’s imperial edict is actually very obscure:
"Save Lin Ruhai's life! Get rid of all the stumbling blocks in Yangzhou!"
