Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor was assassinated while inspecting the salt field. He was seriously injured and fell unconscious on the spot!
Through the guards, he fought his way out and escorted the seriously injured and unconscious Salt Patrol Censor back to Yangzhou, which immediately caused an uproar.
Damn, those salt merchants are too arrogant!
Don't you know that you can play this kind of trick at another time? It's good now. Jia She, the inspector general of Suzhou Province, is visiting the Yanyan Censor's Mansion. If something like this happens, Yangzhou will be turned upside down.
Who doesn't know that Jia Yuncha and Yan Xunyan Yushi are brothers-in-law. If he doesn't give in to it, he will be sorry for the title "Jia Yan Wang" given to him by the outside world.
Sure enough, when he heard that the Salt Patrol Censor's wife fainted on the spot and almost gave birth prematurely, 'Jia Yanwang' was furious and immediately asked Yangzhou Prefecture's Yamen to send people to cordon off the scene, and at the same time launched a blatant investigation in Yangzhou City.
They rushed 800 miles to report to the capital. At the same time, "Jia Yanwang" who had discovered some clues ignored the objections of the Yangzhou magistrate and led his bodyguards straight into Bai's Mansion, a large salt merchant. A mace weighing a hundred kilograms was waved like the wind.
They blasted open the heavy and luxurious door of the Bai Mansion, and then captured all the people before the head of the Bai family had time to burn the evidence.
The famous salt merchant Bai family suddenly collapsed, and the whole city of Yangzhou was shaken. The people talked and were shocked by the audacity of the Bai family, while the other salt merchants were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they dared not snort.
Especially the salt merchant family, which had a close relationship with the Bai family, was trembling with fear for fear of suffering an unreasonable disaster.
I heard that 'Jia Yanwang' had the idea of expanding the scope of the investigation. Fortunately, the Yangzhou magistrate strongly opposed it. The governor and chief envoy of Suzhou Province also immediately jumped out to oppose it. Even the governor of Jiangnan came to appease him, so that 'Jia Yanwang' was not allowed to expand.
Otherwise, the city of Yangzhou would be filled with blood and wailing.
Half a month later, the eunuch sent by the imperial court hurried over. After personally inspecting Lin Ruhai's still serious injury, he directly announced that Lin Ruhai would be removed from his position as Salt Patrol Censor, and that he would be temporarily replaced by the Yangzhou Prefect.
Lin Ruhai was seriously injured on duty. Today, he was comforted by the imperial edict. He said that the court needed talents like him to recover from his injuries, and so on. He rewarded some valuable medicinal materials and gave him the title of Enyin, a seventh-rank Yunqi Lieutenant.
That’s it.
Fortunately, Lin Ruhai's position as doctor of Lantai Temple has not been removed, otherwise he would have suffered heavy losses this time.
After the imperial decree came down, the eldest master did not stop for a moment. He spent a lot of effort to move Lin Ruhai and his family from the Xunyan Yushi Yamen, and boarded the ship directly to his hometown of Suzhou. At the same time, this is also the governor, chief envoy and inspector of Suzhou Province.
I am stationed at the yamen, so I can cultivate myself and recover my health.
In the cabin of the departing official ship, the eldest man, Lin Ruhai, who was still seriously injured, and Jia Min, who had a big belly, were sitting together, discussing the future.
"Brother-in-law, I have really troubled you this time!"
Lin Ruhai lay on the bed with a pale face and expressed gratitude to the elder: "I really didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor would be so ruthless!"
Speaking of this, I felt depressed and felt a sharp pain from the wound, my face showed an abnormal flush, my throat was itchy and I couldn't help coughing.
"How are you, husband? Can you tell me, brother?"
Jia Min looked concerned, her delicate and delicate face was full of worry, she looked at her husband distressedly, and then glanced back at her elder brother who looked indifferent.
"It's nothing, I'm just depressed. Just tell me and it'll be fine!"
Waving his hand, the elder said calmly: "This kind of thing is expected, what is there to be depressed about?"
Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly. Even so, the Emperor's actions really chilled his heart and made him feel depressed that his loyalty was entrusted to someone else.
Yes, Lin Ruhai was seriously injured after being assassinated, and a series of events that followed were all part of the escape plan that the elder had discussed with him, and there were no accidents during the process.
The assassin was real, and he was also sent by the Bai family, a big salt merchant. Lin Ruhai just revealed his whereabouts in advance, and the assassination was already expected.
The elder was hiding among Lin Ruhai's guards at that time. It was impossible for Lin Ruhai to die unexpectedly. The serious injury was an expected result. But he didn't expect that the killer hired by the Bai family, a big salt merchant, was really good.
, is actually equivalent to the existence of the peak of energy.
In this way, the elder simply followed the trend and waited for Lin Ruhai to be seriously injured. He only took action to maintain his body function and returned to Yangzhou in a seriously injured state.
Jia Min was also greeted in advance, but seeing Lin Ruhai's seriously injured appearance, he was still so frightened that he fainted and almost gave birth prematurely. Of course, with the elder present, such a mistake would not have happened.
A series of things happened after that, just let nature take its course. The big salt merchant Bai family, the villain who took the initiative to jump out, naturally had only the end of destruction.
The reaction from the capital was also within the expectations of the elder and Lin Ruhai.
I have long wanted to get involved in Yangzhou Salt Affairs. I would be a fool if I didn't take advantage of such a great opportunity.
Sure enough, with the six-hundred-mile expedited method, he directly asked his confidant Yangzhou Prefect to take over the duties of the Salt Patrol Censor, and successfully obtained control of Yangzhou Salt Affairs.
As for whether Lin Ruhai was really seriously injured, it doesn't matter at all today.
The only person who really cared about whether Lin Ruhai was seriously injured was the Emperor who was stunned by the sudden turn of events. The father-in-law who was sent to announce the decree was actually the Emperor's confidant.
He was accompanied by the imperial physician. After confirming that Lin Ruhai was really seriously injured, he immediately changed his attitude and asked Lin Ruhai to hand over Yangzhou's private salt account.
The Emperor is not a fool. Although Lin Ruhai has been in charge of salt affairs in Yangzhou, the salt tax brought to Beijing every year has been sufficient. This is the main reason why Lin Ruhai has always been firmly in the position of Salt Patroller.
But a fool also knows that the salt affairs cannot be as clean as they appear on the surface. The various interest entanglements and private salt networks inside are what really kill the big salt merchants.
Lin Ruhai has been in charge of the salt affairs for many years, and there are naturally records in this regard. Even the Emperor has been reported on this before, but he just asked Lin Ruhai to take charge of it himself and not to leak it easily. Now he wants to get the private accounts of the salt affairs so that he can deal with today's aggressive people.
offensive.
This made Lin Ruhai feel very chilled. He had secretly recorded the salt affairs account in his hand, but the trump card that he was preparing to make a future in today, the Supreme Emperor asked for it directly without any nostalgia for the past.
The emperor is ruthless!
At this moment, Lin Ruhai felt particularly deeply about these four words.
That is to say, the eldest master is watching from the side, otherwise no one knows whether the eunuch who announced the decree and his confidants will take any excessive measures.
Lin Ruhai was so disheartened that he handed over the salt account without any further struggle. His energy and spirit were greatly weakened, which frightened Jia Min, Daiyu and his daughter.
That is to say, the elder knew that Lin Ruhai was in good condition, but his mood was a little low for a while. It would not take long for him to turn a corner and he would be fine.
Anyway, with him here, it would be difficult for Lin Ruhai to die!
"Hey, if I had known that the Supreme Emperor was so ruthless, I wouldn't have had to worry about it all the time!"
Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly, and it was obvious that it would be difficult for her mood to return to normal in a short time.
"So, only when you are strong can you be truly powerful!"
The elder didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "Instead of placing your future, destiny or even the life of your whole family on the kindness of the superior, it's too insecure!"
"What my uncle said is true, but I'm already so old, and it's too late for me to work hard!"
Lin Ruhai nodded with deep feeling. Only by experiencing the helplessness personally can he understand how unreliable it is to place his fate in the hands of the Supreme Emperor.
At the same time, his brother-in-law's performance also gave him a real feeling of "the great power belongs to himself".
According to the rules of the officialdom, the elder's behavior in Yangzhou was extremely bad, and could even be said to be crazy. His behavior completely violated the consistent rules of the officialdom.
If something happened to them and they yelled and killed, destroying people's futures and destroying people's families at every turn, the officialdom would have been in chaos.
But what's the result?
Regardless of the envoys sent today or the secret personnel of the Supreme Emperor, they seemed to turn a blind eye to the crazy behavior of my uncle and did not even mention it.
This is interesting. Do you really think Lin Ruhai doesn't know that the big salt merchant Bai Shi is the pocket bag of a powerful prince in Beijing. His uncle directly uprooted Bai Shi. Not only was he not criticized by the court, he even even said a heavy sentence.
No words.
My eldest uncle's power in the court was not strong enough to silence the two emperors.
Then why did the imperial court have such a strange reaction? After thinking about it, there is only one reason. It is that it is afraid of the powerful force of the uncle, and does not want to offend the uncle because of his role as the great salt merchant Bai Shi.
Although he had never seen his uncle's power with his own eyes, he had heard about it and knew that his uncle was no worse than those famous ancient generals who could defeat ten thousand people.
Neither the current nor the Supreme Emperor is willing to easily push such a peerless general to his opponent. This is the secret of the uncle's ability to stand up in the officialdom.
But no matter what, Lin Ruhai felt that he was completely inimitable.
"Brother-in-law, don't be discouraged. It's extremely difficult to practice to my level, but it's not difficult to develop the ability to protect yourself!"
Seeing Lin Ruhai's depressed look, the elder laughed loudly and encouraged: "When your body and bones become stronger, I will teach you a boxing technique to strengthen the muscles, bones, and blood. When my brother-in-law's muscles, bones, Qi, and blood are strong enough, I will teach you
By practicing the qi training methods passed down by the ancestors of the Lin family, within three to five years your strength will be no worse than that of ordinary martial arts masters, and there will be no problem in protecting yourself!"
The vitality of heaven and earth in the Red Mansion world is much richer than that of the last life in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The bodies of the indigenous people are stronger than the ordinary level in the previous life. With Lin Ruhai's intelligence, it is quite easy to reach the level of Anqi as long as he gets started.
Leveling up is not difficult either.
"Is it true? My uncle lied to me, right?"
Lin Ruhai felt happy. If possible, he really wanted to practice martial arts well. He didn't insist on anything else, as long as he could strengthen his body and protect himself.
"Of course, what's the point of lying to you?"
The old man laughed angrily and scolded: "Don't talk about you, as long as my sister and Daiyu are willing to work hard, it is not difficult to develop their own skills!"
