To be able to be a third-grade official, to be in a key position such as the Salt Patrol Censor, and to stay there for five years without any incident, Lin Ruhai's skills are definitely not bad.
If you really get cruel and ruthless, those salt merchants in Yangzhou will have their skin peeled off!
At this time, seeing the blood stains on the silk handkerchief in his hand, Lin Ruhai's heart boiled with rage and murderous intent, and his usually gentle demeanor turned into a cold and murderous intent.
At this moment, all gentlemanly morals were put aside, and even the emperor and the present were resented.
The human heart is so complex!
The cruel reality of officialdom taught Lin Ruhai a very vivid lesson!
Again, if the normal battle in the officialdom fails, even if Lin Ruhai is unwilling to die, he can still accept it.
If you are not as skilled as others, you can only face it calmly.
But if he was killed by an unseemly method like poisoning, no matter how good-tempered Lin Ruhai was, he would still have to fight to the death in his small universe.
"Uncle, there is no need to be angry, but now is a good opportunity to escape!"
When Lin Ruhai's mood returned to stability, Jia Cong whispered: "There will be plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future!"
"You mean, take the initiative to expose the poisoning?"
Frowning slightly, feeling something was wrong, Lin Ruhai said: "The effect of this may not be good!"
"It's best not to expose yourself!"
Jia Cong shook his head and objected: "If my uncle really wants to do this, I'm afraid the emperor will not let my uncle leave easily. The most he can do is send an imperial doctor to stay in Yangzhou!"
How could a master of making money like Lin Ruhai easily let go if he didn't use it until he died?
"Maybe, the emperor will reprimand today for this!"
Thinking of something, he added another sentence, but Lin Ruhai was so shocked that his face turned pale.
If something like this really happened, I wouldn't hate him to death right now.
In her heart, she was dissatisfied with the emperor and the present, but Lin Ruhai definitely did not mean to completely hate one of them. It would definitely bring disaster to the family.
Even if he doesn't care, doesn't he still have Lin Daiyu as his legitimate daughter?
"That……"
When Lin Ruhai suddenly encountered such a thing, even with Lin Ruhai's determination, his forehead was blurred and his thinking ability was not as good as ordinary Sancheng.
"Isn't there an imperial envoy and a group of officials from the investigation team?"
Jia Cong smiled lightly, but what he said was quite rude: "If they are the first to discover my uncle's physical problem..."
Lin Ruhai's face changed slightly, and she looked at Jia Cong with shock in her eyes.
When that time comes, in order not to upset the hearts of the officials all over the world, even if Lin Ruhai is fine, the Emperor and Jin Jin will have to transfer him and arrange a good position for him.
Especially nowadays, when you are ambitious and want to do something in your career, if your reputation is ruined because of Lin Ruhai, it will really be worth the loss.
By then, even if the emperor is no longer dissatisfied, Lin Ruhai will be forcibly transferred. This is a certain result.
What's even better is that as a 'victim', Lin Ruhai, no matter what the Emperor and Jin's thoughts are, will only appease him and will not burn bridges or add insult to injury.
Jia Cong's idea is much more effective than him actively exposing himself to poisoning.
As expected, he is indeed the guy who wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Not only is it okay to play tricks, but he is also very ruthless.
“The idea is good, but it’s not easy to implement!”
Lin Ruhai followed Jia Cong's idea and asked a question: "Those guys are not fools. They can't follow your kid's baton!"
"This is easy!"
Jia Cong smiled very naturally and said slowly: "It depends on whether uncle dares to take risks!"
Then, come up with a very bold plan.
It's really bold. If Lin Ruhai doesn't do something right, he might die directly.
Of course, if it is successful, the effect will be the most obvious.
At least, you can imagine how shocked the imperial envoy and several officials of the investigation team would be when they suddenly saw Lin Ruhai vomiting black blood.
Lin Ruhai struggled for a while, but finally agreed to Jia Cong's adventurous plan.
Only in this way is it the safest way to control future troubles to a minimum.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to get rid of the official position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor unless he really died.
This is the case in the original work of A Dream of Red Mansions. Lin Ruhai was re-elected as Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor for six years and endured life and death in office.
Or, it may be that he was directly killed by some impatient forces.
Otherwise, Lin Ruhai is only in his early forties, and no matter how fragile his body is, he will not die of illness while serving as the Salt Patrol Censor.
As for missing his dead wife and becoming ill, since he knew that there were two or three concubines in the official residence of the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor, even Jia Cong would not believe it even if he killed him.
Lin Ruhai is a very traditional scholar-official. It is enough that he does not remarry after the death of his ex-wife. It is impossible for him to completely become a single dog.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai in the original work died very abnormally!
Returning to Zhuangzi's main courtyard, the two never talked about relevant matters again.
After three days of good rest, when Lin Ruhai returned to the Salt Patrol Censor Yamen, he immediately started a large-scale salt inspection without any warning.
They approved and inspected the salt production accounts, and most importantly, inspected the salt-producing areas, as well as all the joints that the Salt Patrol Yamen could control. They acted quickly and decisively, causing an uproar all of a sudden.
Jia Cong ran around with Lin Ruhai, watching Lin Ruhai go through the clouds and rain to spy on the Yangzhou salt merchants' routines, while protecting Lin Ruhai's safety.
All the salt merchants, including the powerful people behind them, were caught off guard by Lin Ruhai's sudden method. The most confused ones were the imperial minister and the officials of the investigation team who were in Yangzhou.
No one expected that Lin Ruhai would be so crazy and would simply seek his own death.
Once certain accounts and certain matters are uncovered by him, it will be revealed, and many salt merchants and even the supporting forces behind them will be unlucky.
It is a matter of life and property. The salt merchants who were caught off guard and the counterattack from the stakeholders can be imagined how violent the counterattack was.
Here, Lin Ruhai announced an investigation into Yangzhou's salt policy, and salt merchants and stakeholders began to respond sharply from the next day.
First, the officials under the Salt Inspector's Yamen were procrastinating and refused to cooperate. News continued to spread that the officers and soldiers assigned to various salt fields were being interfered with, and no salt field was able to complete the inspection.
At the same time, it only took half a day for Lin Ruhai's desk to be filled with posts from the major salt merchants represented by the Yangzhou Salt Merchant General. Among them were local officials such as the Yangzhou Prefect and Tongzhi.
Lin Ruhai didn't dare to take it lightly.
"This is really a hornet's nest!"
Feeling the overwhelming pressure, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but smile bitterly...
