The assassination of Lin Ruhai, the Yangzhou salt censor, was definitely a major event that shook the court.
Hearing that Jin was furious, Yang Yan spoke in court to investigate thoroughly, and immediately sent an imperial envoy to Yangzhou to investigate.
This matter is easy to understand, not to mention the assassination of the dignified Salt Patrol Censor, which is definitely a serious crime that damages the prestige of the court.
If the court's reaction is not strong enough, I'm afraid there will be more and bigger troubles.
On the other hand, the Yangzhou salt policy was related to almost a quarter of the tax revenue of the Daqing Dynasty. As a senior member of the court who controlled the salt policy was assassinated, it is difficult not to associate the salt policy with the court and today.
No matter what, things must not go wrong in Yangzhou's salt administration, otherwise the imperial court will suffer great losses, and the empty treasury needs to be supplemented by salt taxes.
Not to mention the disturbances from the outside world, Rongguo Mansion is also a mess.
The servants in the Rongguo Mansion were all big talkers, and something that should not be spread at all was actually told to Lin Daiyu by a big-mouth woman.
The little girl was so frightened that she fainted immediately, and there was chaos at the other end of Rongqing Hall.
While the old lady was busy asking for the imperial doctor, she also had to discuss countermeasures with the first and second masters, which made her feel exhausted mentally and physically.
After years of pampering and pampering, she rarely dealt with specific matters. The old lady was thrown into a panic by this unexpected incident.
The relationship network of Rongguo Mansion was in full operation, but it was only known that Lin Ruhai was assassinated and the danger was saved, so there was no problem in itself.
At this time, there was a rumor circulating in the house that "Master Lin is fine", but it was such nonsense as disturbing the old lady and worrying her beyond her power, which was really chilling.
Jia Cong watched with cold eyes. His servant Wangcai, the maid Lingque and the nanny Li were not vegetarians. He quickly found out that these rumors were spread by the second room, and he was very cruel.
Because of Lin Ruhai's incident, the eldest master and the second master were both moved, so naturally they had no time and energy to find trouble over the "Three Kingdoms Commentary" matter.
The eldest master has been very busy recently. In order to inquire about the situation in Jiangnan and the actions of the imperial court, he has been involved in many old relationships and is very tired.
Jia Cong saw this and had no intention of staying out of the matter.
On this day, I heard that the eldest master was finally free at home and rushed to greet him immediately after leaving the clan school.
"Just go back and stay if you have nothing to do. Master, I haven't been in a good mood lately!"
The elder waved his hand and was about to drive people away. Fortunately, because of the Three Kingdoms Commentary, his attitude was finally not as bad as before.
"Master, don't you find it strange?"
Jia Cong did not leave, but instead waved to the beautiful maid who was waiting beside the eldest master to leave. This move was very bold.
Fortunately, at this time, he still had some respect in front of the eldest master, and did not attract any sharp scolding. On the contrary, he waved his hand to drive away the reluctant beautiful maid.
"Tell me, what do you think you have?"
How should I put it, with the Three Kingdoms Commentary matter at the bottom, even if the eldest master can't listen, he will not ignore the opinions of Jia Cong, a bastard.
"Haier's review of the Three Kingdoms has just gained some momentum. My second uncle was threatened by his colleagues, and Uncle Lin was assassinated at the same time. What does this mean?"
Jia Cong was not polite and said to himself: "It means that the behavior of some people is very similar to some of the contents of the Three Kingdoms review written by Hao'er, otherwise there would not be such a big reaction!"
The room suddenly became as quiet as a chicken, and the atmosphere was indescribably solemn and strange!
The elder suddenly stood up, his face was a little pale, and he looked at Jia Cong with complicated eyes. He pondered for a long time before he said with a smile: "You kid, are you allergic?"
Jia Cong just smiled and said nothing, and after a while he said softly: "I may not know, but the Huiyou Bookstore run by Hao'er does not refuse to publish foreign manuscripts. Most of them are comments about the story of the Three Kingdoms, and Hao'er did not do that.
What a statement!"
"Speak clearly, what do you mean?"
"If you don't have any evil intentions, then just post your thoughts in the comments section published by the Friends Bookstore, or you can directly find another bookstore to publish it. There is no need to secretly threaten the second uncle!"
Saying that, Jia Cong took out some comment articles published by Huiyou Bookstore and handed them directly to the old man with an ugly face. He sneered: "You can take a look, some of the comments are quite harsh, and they even pointed at the child's nose."
It's ridiculous to denounce them angrily, but the children are not allowed to speak!"
The elder casually flipped through a few pages, and was suddenly shocked by the fiercely worded and meaningful remarks above. He was so angry that he threw the few review pages of the pamphlet on the table and said angrily: "You
The boy is really big-hearted, even though he has been called a pig’s head by others, he can still laugh!”
Some of the words above were indeed excessive in the eyes of the elder, and there were even hints of ginseng and cock, which he couldn't stand even though he was angry and angry.
Jia Cong didn't take it seriously. The comments on these comment boards were nothing compared to the vicious comments on the modern Internet.
Having experienced the bombardment of online public opinion, he naturally would not exclude some "posts" that were written with some meaning. How could the influence of the Three Kingdoms story and Three Kingdoms comments spread so quickly if they did not criticize each other?
"Master, calm down and let them speak their mind!"
Jia Cong said seriously: "Otherwise, if you hold your breath in your heart and use some conspiracy method to deal with the child like you did against the second uncle, the child will not be able to withstand it!"
"They dare!"
The elder was furious, but there was a hint of guilt in his tone.
Naturally, Jia Cong would not reveal it, so he changed the subject and said, "The children have let go. The big man who threatened the second uncle still only acts in private. I don't think so. This is very revealing!"
"What do you mean, kid?"
At this time, the elder's face began to turn pale again, and he was obviously very frightened.
"Uncle Lin cannot be allowed to stay in the position of Salt Patrol Censor. The government must take action to get him out. Once Uncle Lin is killed in Yangzhou, the Jia family will suffer great losses!"
Jia Cong changed the topic and said something shocking.
"What do you mean?"
The elder's face became even more ugly, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his current state of mind.
"Uncle Lin was able to escape the assassination this time, but what about next time?"
Jia Cong, however, was not polite at all. He took the opportunity to express his knowledge and said with a serious face: "Once something happens to Uncle Lin, have you thought about the adverse impact on the house?"
"What adverse effects could there be?"
The elder's expression became more and more uneasy, and he laughed dryly: "You kid, don't talk nonsense!"
"But the boy is thinking that if Uncle Lin is missing, the Rongguo Mansion will be completely tied to the Wang family in the future!"
Jia Cong was unmoved and said something that was absolutely unacceptable to the elder: "At that time, Rongguo Mansion will really become a vassal of the Wang family..."
