Let’s not talk about the Yangzhou salt merchant’s plan, but say that Lin Ruhai and his party took the lucky boat again, took silver notes and gold and silver jewelry worth 500,000 taels, left the Yangtze River, and headed for Yangzhou.
There were only four members of the Lin family in the room, so Lin Ruhai and his wife couldn't help but ask how Lin Zhao moved his hands, and Daiyu couldn't help but be very curious.
Lin Zhao smiled slightly and began to talk nonsense: "Three years ago, my sister was ill, and a leprous monk wanted to transform her into a monk, but her parents refused. He also said: He couldn't bear to leave his sister, but he was afraid that her illness would last her whole life.
It's not going to get better. If you want to get better, unless you are not allowed to cry from now on, and you don't see any relatives or friends with foreign surnames except your parents, then you can live a safe life.' Crazy, crazy, and said these unheard words.
,Father and mother both remember it, right?"
Of course Lin Ruhai and Jia Min remembered this and couldn't help but nodded, but then asked: "But what does this have to do with your kung fu?"
Daiyu occasionally heard her mother talk about this matter, but she never took it to heart. Now when she heard her brother mention this past incident, she also looked confused and looked at her brother in a daze, blinking her eyes.
Lin Zhao smiled and said: "Of course it is related. But I heard his nonsense and felt angry, so I followed him quietly, thinking that when he went to a secluded place, I would secretly attack him and beat him up."
"How old were you then?" Lin Ruhai couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
Jia Min glanced at her husband, secretly annoyed that he interrupted his conversation for no reason, but when she thought about it, she was slightly shocked.
Daiyu is six years old this year, and Lin Zhao is sixteen years old. When Daiyu was three years old, Lin Zhao was naturally only thirteen years old.
Such a big kid actually wants to sneak attack an adult monk?
Lin Zhao said disapprovingly: "Young people in Yingzhou are tired of the wilderness. They hunt under the city with fox fur and velvet. They can drink wine for a thousand minutes without being intoxicated. Hu'er can ride a horse at the age of ten. I am a handsome Chinese son. When I was thirteen years old, I wanted to beat up someone who talked nonsense.
What’s the big deal about the leprosy-headed monk of the Eight Paths?”
Lin Ruhai was immediately speechless after saying this.
He wanted to refute, but he couldn't.
Hu'er can ride a horse and ride a horse at the age of ten. My son is already thirteen, so why can't he still vent his anger on his sister?
Jia Min said hurriedly: "Okay, keep talking."
Lin Zhao continued: "I followed the skinny-headed monk to a secluded place and met a young knight. He said that the skinny-headed monk was not doing his job properly and was talking nonsense, so I wanted to punish him severely. The skinny-headed monk
I couldn't beat him, so I had to kneel down and kowtow, calling him something like Tathagata and the Great Sage sealing the boat. I was watching the excitement and couldn't help but cheer loudly. When the young knight noticed me, he gave me a Taoist skill, which was to teleport through the air.
Beating people. But he said, don’t tell others unless you have to."
After saying that, Lin Zhao looked to the side.
"Click!" A sound.
A water glass shattered out of thin air.
Lin Ruhai and his wife were startled, but then they looked happy.
Daiyu even clapped her hands and applauded.
My son was valued by an immortal and given magical powers. Doesn't that mean that my son has a bright future?
As for words such as "Don't tell others unless you have to", Lin Ruhai and his wife directly filtered them out.
When an immortal bestows magical powers, the person involved must keep them secret. Even if Lin Zhao doesn't mention it, Lin Ruhai and his wife will think of it.
Lin Zhao continued: "I also asked the great sage Fengzhou about my sister. The great sage said that as long as my sister eats on time and plays often, she will definitely grow up healthily, and her talents will be no less than that of layman Yi An.
.”
"What? My daughter is actually a poetess?"
Lin Ruhai was overjoyed.
Jia Min frowned slightly: "Sir, the fate of Yi An layman Li Qingzhao is not very good."
Li Qingzhao, a lay scholar from Yi'an, was a female poet in the Song Dynasty and a representative of the Wanyue Ci School. She was known as "the most talented woman throughout the ages." It can be said that she herself was as famous as Li Bai in terms of poetry attainments. However, due to the Jingkang Incident, the Jin soldiers invaded the south.
As a result, his life for the rest of his life was disrupted and displaced, and he even encountered the misfortune of remarrying a gangster, being divorced and imprisoned.
As parents, of course we hope that our children will be talented and have a bright future, but we also hope that our children can live a peaceful life.
So when Jia Min said this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but frown.
Lin Zhao did not take it seriously: "Li Qingzhao's misfortune was the misfortune of the Song Dynasty. It was the incompetence of the two emperors of Hui and Qin and a group of civil and military ministers, which led to drastic changes in the country and the dislocation of the scholar-bureaucrats. Now in the peaceful and prosperous times, my father is
I am not a high-ranking official in the court, and I will definitely be able to protect my sister's life and make her achievements shine through the ages."
"Zhao'er!" Lin Ruhai and Jia Min couldn't help being greatly moved, their eyes were wet and they almost shed tears.
"Brother!" Six-year-old Xiao Daiyu also burst into tears and gasped slightly. She was moved beyond words.
Xiao Daiyu felt sincerely happy to have such a brother to protect her.
Lin Zhao chuckled, knowing that this incident was over.
From now on, you can do whatever you want.
After two days of voyage, Lin Jiafu's ship finally arrived at Yangzhou Pier.
Because it is a new official taking office, naturally relevant departments have been paying attention. Lin Jiafu's ship has just docked at the official pier. The Yangzhou magistrate, salt transport envoy, counselor, Xuanfu envoy and other Yangzhou officials, as well as local gentry, are mainly
It was a salt merchant, and they all came forward to greet him.
This scene was really full of red flags, huge crowds of people, and layers of confusion.
There was no way. After all, Lin Ruhai was the first foreign official appointed by the emperor. It was typical that Jane was in the heart of the emperor, and he also held the important official position of Salt Patrol Censor. Even if there were people behind officials at all levels, they still had to be greeted with a grand ceremony.
Other means can be used overtly or covertly, but this greeting cannot be ambiguous.
However, what they greeted was Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt inspection. His family members stayed in the boat, waiting for Lin Ruhai to agree to rush to the reception banquet. After there were fewer people on the pier, the family quietly disembarked from the boat, took a car, and met the relevant personnel.
Accompanied by his wife, we went to the residence of Xunyan Censor.
Officials at all levels in Yangzhou treated Lin Ruhai very warmly. Lin Ruhai was worthy of being born in Tan Hua Gong, and his ability to dance was also first-class. He quickly became one with the officials by singing poems and drinking wine.
Soon, Lin Ruhai integrated into the Yangzhou officialdom and began to use his methods to prepare for the salt tax.
So in a luxurious place, several people discussed in secret.
"This Lin Ruhai looks as gentle as jade, but in fact she has the guts of a fox. She has slowly revealed her tricks in the past few days, and she is afraid that she will take action against the salt tax."
"He has recently taken control of the Yanzheng Yamen. Water cannot be poured into it. This method is really clever."
"I wonder what his next move is going to be? We can't sit still and wait for death."
"His He Feng Xiaoyu methods are hard to guard against. How should we fight back?"
"He is not the only one who can cook frogs in warm water. Lin Yanei also participated in these banquets. What kind of person do you think he is? Is he a legendary martial arts master?"
"He has some skills, but most people can't tell what his level is!"
"No matter what his strength is, he definitely has some of the characteristics of the young man. Let's get close to him and slowly drag him into the water."
"Okay, just keep an eye on it! Leave this matter to me."
…
Lin Zhao has been in Yangzhou for more than two months, and his life has been calm.
In fact, he has been wandering around the city of Yangzhou recently, observing the life in the city and thinking about how to get involved.
Throughout the ages, a qualified yamen should use Lao Tzu's official status to get involved in a certain industry and make a fortune.
For example, the Food City in Yueya Lake, Handong Province...
However, before Lin Zhao could take action, someone suddenly came to deliver an invitation. It was the yamen of Gu Jinbiao's house who guards Qianhu in Heying, and invited Lin Zhao to a banquet at Baihua House at noon tomorrow.
"This Gu Yanei and I are strangers, but he invited me to the banquet. Is it just a matter of friendship, or is it related to my father's recent official affairs?"
Lin Zhao held his chin with two fingers and pondered slightly.
