You know, Lin Ruhai’s native place is Suzhou, and the capital of Huaiyang Province is located in Suzhou!
Of course, given his cold relationship with the old Gusu family members, he probably wouldn't be able to strengthen the family, but this approach did break the rules.
Just like Lian Er's appointment, it is full of weirdness.
"Today, what do you want to do?"
Lin Ruhai was the only one next to him. Except for the old housekeeper guarding the door of the study, there was no one else within five feet, and there was no Ouchi spy eavesdropping, so he simply let go of the inquiry.
"It should be that they have ideas about certain forces in Jiangnan and sent me and Lian Er to be the vanguard to charge into the battle!"
Lin Ruhai was not polite and directly expressed his guess.
"Zhen family!"
Jia Cong immediately reacted, nodded and said: "Only the Zhen family is qualified to be treated with such solemnity today!"
hehe……
Lin Ruhai smiled and said nothing, but judging from his expression, it was obvious that he had already guessed it.
"What a great trick!"
Jia Cong reacted quickly and sneered: "Now, I plan to ask my uncle and the four major Jinling families to fight to the death with the Zhen family!"
Jia Cong's eyes flashed as he instantly understood the sinister intentions of the current situation. He couldn't think of a countermeasure for a moment.
Sometimes he really couldn't understand. Is it interesting that an emperor who is an emperor and seems to have a lot of power is always targeting a group?
Yes, most of the descendants of the Xungui Group are ineffective, but they occupy a lot of resources. Nowadays, everyone can accept a reasonable share of the resources.
But Nima has stated that he wants to overturn a whole boat of people with one stroke, which is hard to accept.
Since the Xungui Group exists and can occupy a large amount of court resources, it is necessary to exist.
Nowadays, there is a crazy suppression, and the methods are even a little despicable. Not only the suppressed noble group will not give up resistance easily, but also the supported civil servant group. If there is no fear or disgust in their hearts, Jia Cong will write his name backwards in the future.
Lin Ruhai's ability has been proven and even recognized by the court!
It was enough not to give him the opportunity to become the Minister of Rites and enter the cabinet smoothly, but to send him to Huaiyang with malicious intentions to fight to the death with the Zhen family, the most powerful family in Jiangnan, was a bit too much.
Apart from other things, if the news spreads and other officials react, the evaluation of "mean and unkind" will definitely be inevitable nowadays.
No matter how unfavorable the external evaluation of the Zhen family in Jiangnan is, the Zhen family has indeed become the most powerful family in Jiangnan during the emperor's reign and in the current decades when the throne is unstable.
It can be said that the power of the Zhen family is spread throughout Jiangnan, and no one knows how powerful the Zhen family is.
Not only that, the Zhen family has almost infiltrated the entire Jiangnan officialdom. Once the Zhen family is destroyed, it will definitely cause a major earthquake in the entire Jiangnan officialdom.
At that time, if it affects Jiangnan's finance and taxation, as well as Daqing's fundamental grain production, who will be responsible?
It is certain that as the vanguard of the charge, the governor of Huaiyang and the prefect of Jinling would not be able to fall into the trap.
It can be said that this time Lin Ruhai released Huaiyang and Lian Er became the prefect of Jinling, which was considered a certain death situation!
Unless they dare to go against today...
Lian Er definitely doesn't have the courage. Lin Ruhai has the character of a scholar-bureaucrat. At worst, he will resign!
But in this case, if something happens to the Rong Mansion, the Lin family can't expect to stay out of it, they will also suffer the same fate.
Lin Ruhai is currently in pretty good shape, and even has court officials to help him arrange a marriage and re-engagement. As long as there are no accidents, it will not be a problem to live to at least eighty.
Although the qi and blood transporting boxing technique he taught is quite rudimentary, its effect in maintaining health is so overbearing.
Lin Ruhai is less than fifty at this time and still has more than thirty years to live!
During this period, he naturally did not want anything unexpected to happen to the Lin family, or even a chance to stand up.
Officer, you don’t have to do it!
When the family survives, there must be no accidents!
Various thoughts flew in Jia Cong's mind. In fact, it was not impossible to solve the crisis, but now was not the time to think about it carefully. He could only sigh softly and said leisurely: "It seems that this time I must follow you to Jiangnan!"
"What, you also have plans to leave Beijing?"
Lin Ruhai's eyes flashed, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he asked curiously: "Why don't you stay well in the capital?"
“Walking more, seeing more different scenery!”
Jia Cong chuckled and said: "Of course, the real reason is that my martial arts has reached a bottleneck, and I want to communicate and learn from masters from all over Daqing, and learn the knowledge I am interested in!"
"What level has your kid's martial arts reached?"
Lin Ruhai was very curious and asked directly: "Is it necessary to continue to improve?"
When he was in Yangzhou, he could face danger at any time when he faced off against that gang of salt merchants. At that time, Jia Cong had already shown quite amazing martial arts skills, but now he doesn't know how strong he is.
"Let's put it that way!"
Jia Cong didn't hide anything from Lin Ruhai, and said with a smile: "If the monks in the palace don't resort to extreme measures, even if I forcefully break into the palace, there is a 30% to 40% chance of escaping unscathed!"
This time, it was Lin Ruhai's turn to look surprised and gasp.
After a while, Lin Ruhai pointed at Jia Cong with a smile, shook his head and said, "You kid, you are such a monster!"
"There's nothing I can do about it. If you're being targeted like this right now, maybe the Rong Mansion will end badly in the future. I have to be able to protect myself, right?"
Jia Cong looked calm and said in a calm tone: "Even if something unexpected happens in the future, unless hundreds of elites besiege you, it would be a dream to keep me here!"
Having said this, an extremely domineering aura suddenly rose from his body, and the wind suddenly started blowing in the huge study room. He said coldly: "As long as I don't die, those guys who want to add insult to injury, even myself, will consider whether to
Rongfu will beat him to death with one stroke!"
Bang!
There was the sound of breaking porcelain at the door, Lin Daiyu's exclamation, and the old housekeeper's repeated questions.
Jia Cong restrained his violent aura, allowing Lin Ruhai to recover from the stormy atmosphere. He took a deep look at Jia Cong, who was motionless, and said hurriedly: "Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"
With that said, he stood up and strode out quickly, and in a blink of an eye Lin Daiyu, who looked a little pale, came in.
"Is Sister Lin okay?"
Jia Cong stood up and asked with concern: "Do you want to see a doctor?"
In fact, he had sensed Lin Daiyu's aura for a long time, but there were some things that he thought it would be better to let this person know earlier.
The Lin family and her father, Lin Ruhai, are not as peaceful as they appear.
As the only descendant and legitimate daughter of the Lin family, she must at least shoulder a certain amount of responsibility. It is not impossible to play the tricks of literary and artistic youth, but it is impossible to get stuck and not get out.
"What happened just now? There seemed to be a powerful breath suddenly coming from the study. It was as scary as a tiger descending from the mountain. It scared me!"
Lin Daiyu's face turned pale, and she turned to question: "Dad, is what my cousin said true? Daddy's situation is already so dangerous!"
"Yu'er doesn't have to worry..."
Lin Ruhai subconsciously wanted to be relieved, but Jia Cong intervened in time to interrupt his false words: "Uncle, there is no need to do this. It's okay to let Sister Lin know. The officialdom can advance or retreat if it fights hard, not to mention that it is still eyeing him with eager eyes!"
After saying this, Lin Daiyu's face turned even paler, she pursed her lips and didn't know what to say. She couldn't ask her father to back down.
She had heard clearly at the door before that once her father backed down, the Lin family would be in control of his life and death. If he had bad thoughts now, the Lin family would be in danger of being completely destroyed.
In this case, as Jia Cong said, we can only advance but not retreat!
"Why……"
Lin Ruhai sighed, but did not continue to comfort her. She just said: "Things haven't reached the most dangerous level yet. Yu'er doesn't have to worry about it for the time being!"
"Sister Lin, your body is still a little weak. It seems that Sister Lin has not practiced the body-building boxing technique I sent you before!"
Jia Cong frowned slightly and glanced at Lin Daiyu, who had a slim figure and slender body, but her body bones were obviously thin. Sensing that Lin Daiyu was not strong in blood, his tone was a little dissatisfied: "Uncle has already worked hard enough outside, don't let him continue to worry about Sister Lin's health.
!”
"I want you to take care of it!"
Lin Daiyu's eyes were red and she said angrily: "If I grow up to be as tall as you, how will I meet people in the future?"
"It's just a health-preserving boxing technique for transporting qi and blood. It doesn't have that much power!"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Besides, even if you practice, you will still grow taller, but it will only grow less than two inches (six centimeters) at most, so there is no need to worry!"
Lin Ruhai stood aside with a smile and said nothing, looking around and feeling somewhat relieved.
Seeing that Lin Daiyu was a little reluctant to get off the stage, he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Yuer, it's better not to quarrel with your cousin. As a father, I have something to discuss with your cousin!"
snort!
Lin Daiyu hummed, saluted Lin Ruhai, turned around and left.
"Boy, how is your cousin?"
After Lin Daiyu left, Lin Ruhai asked with a smile: "She looks pretty, right? What do you think about the things I mentioned before?"
"If Sister Lin doesn't object, there will be no problem on my side!"
Jia Cong looked calm, as if he was not talking about a major event in his life, and said leisurely: "It's just that Sister Lin's body is still too weak!"
As he said this, he gestured at his height and weight, shook his head and said, "I won't dare to agree to it if I don't exercise hard to build up my body and bones!"
By the way, Lin Ruhai had hinted a long time ago that she hoped to recruit Jia Cong as a son-in-law, so she would feel at ease knowing the details.
This is also the main reason why Lin Daiyu is now sixteen and has not seen her yet.
Lin Daiyu was the only bloodline of the Lin family at this time, and it was impossible for her to marry outside. This also blocked most of the avenues for marriage proposals.
It's just that in this era, sons-in-law who come to their homes are quite looked down upon. How can an ordinary good son-in-law be willing to do so?
Even if he promised well at the time, Lin Ruhai could suppress it when he was alive, but when he leaves, will the resentment in his heart explode and something unbearable will happen...
