Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 29 The Enmity of the Lin Family, Jia Gong Appears (Please recommend! Please collect!)
Yangzhou Wharf is very lively. There are passenger ships and cargo caravans. There are people coming and going. Not far from here is a row of small vendors. Most of them are engaged in small businesses. There are fried dough sticks and chaotic noodles, so lively.

This morning, someone came suddenly from the patrolling salt yamen and blocked the pier, but there was quite a commotion. The people onlookers swallowed their saliva when they saw five boatloads of salt.

This thing is a hard currency for them. One boatload of salt is about the same as one boatload of silver, and there are five boatloads of silver. Can they not let them be tempted?

Not long after, Lin Ruhai came to the pier under the guard of the yamen servants. He first asked people to check whether there was any problem with the salt on the boat and whether there was anything missing, and then he met the twenty or so people on the boat.

When he saw these twenty or so people, he finally understood why the previous yamen servant had that expression on his face. He just looked at the twenty or so strong men in front of him as if he saw something dirty. His sanity was also a little unclear, and he couldn't figure out why for a while, so he had no choice but to send someone to take these strong men back to the government prison.

After that, they sent people to unload the salt on the ship and transported it all back to the Yamen warehouse.

The news of the presence of salt in the yamen spread throughout Yangzhou City in less than half an hour. When the merchants who had Yanyin heard that Lin Ruhai had salt here, they still had it. They all seemed to be chased by mad dogs. Yelling and rushing over, Lin Ruhai was blocked by those people as soon as Lin Ruhai returned to Xunyan Yamen.

"Master Lin!! Our Li family will enter [-] Dan this time! This is the deposit!!"

"Master Lin!! Our Xu family has brought in [-] dan!! This is the deposit!!"

When they saw salt, these people seemed to be crazy, and they almost blocked the gate of the Salt Inspection Office. In fact, it is not their fault. In the south of the Yangtze River, official salt is sometimes not available, and private salt sales are extremely rampant. It stands to reason that the price of private salt should be cheaper than official salt, but in the past few years, there have been frequent accidents on official ships transporting salt, and there are often shortages of official salt, causing the price of private salt to exceed that of official salt. These people with salt, sometimes in order to attract customers, often go to the salt dealers to buy some private salt at a high price.

So whenever there is official salt coming over from the Yamen patrolling salt, don't these people look like crazy!

Seeing these people, Lin Ruhai was one of the first two, but he didn't drive them out, after all, he still wanted to get money for Emperor Mingkang!His Tanhualang is not like Jia Zheng, who is pedantic and unrefined. Although he is a scholar, his level is far from what Jia Zheng can compare.

Jia Zheng only knows the basics, not ordinary affairs, but Lin Ruhai is different, he really understands the reading, not only is the world so sophisticated, but also dabbles in those mundane affairs, otherwise he would not be able to deal with those merchants who are as treacherous as foxes .

Chatting with these people, he didn't send the last person away until night. Looking at the thick stack of banknotes on the table, he couldn't help laughing at himself. Whenever he had to fight with this yellow and white thing We have dealt with each other, but when he thought of Emperor Mingkang's entrustment, he still endured it.

They scholars have a good saying, "The reward of eating the emperor is the matter of loyalty!" He was favored by Emperor Mingkang, and he was promoted to such a fat job as the inspector of salt and censor, so he couldn't do his best.

Speaking of which, Lin Ruhai is an ex-convict Tanhualang, or he was selected by Emperor Mingkang when he opened Enke for the first time after he succeeded to the throne. He can be regarded as the confidant of today's saints.

Back at the table, he took a sip of tea, ordered the kitchen to make dinner, ate a little casually, and went back to the study. He thought about what happened today, his eyes became a little erratic.

Not long after, he summoned a yamen servant from the government office, and he placed about twenty strong men today, and he was also in charge of the follow-up interrogation.

"Wang Wu, what's going on? Have all those people been recruited?"

Wang Wu grabbed the soap horn cap on his head, and said with some regret: "My lord, forgive me, these guys, what, brothers have tried all the methods that can be used, but the effect is mediocre. As long as the previous incident is mentioned, they will be shocked." The mentality will become very unstable, and they will start talking nonsense, and only say that a young man asked them to do this! If you ask anything else, you will not be able to ask anything!"

"Also, according to the investigation of my subordinates, these people are members of the Salt Gang. The Salt Gang is deeply rooted in the south of the Yangtze River. If it is not handled properly, it may cause an uproar!"

Hearing the word Yanbang, Lin Ruhai's eyes narrowed immediately, and the hands holding the Eight Immortals chair could see the blue veins emerging from the force.

"Understood!! You go down first!!"

After a long time, Lin Ruhai waved his hand to make Wang Wu retreat. Looking at the burning candles on the table and listening to the crackling and cracking lanterns from time to time, Lin Ruhai fell silent for a moment.

The Lin family has few heirs, his first wife passed away at a young age, his son who died young, and the congenitally deficient Daiyu are all related to those bastards.

This was a few years ago, when he was investigating the traitors in the mansion. At first, he didn't expect that those people would be so bold that they dared to put their hands into his home.

Afterwards, according to his investigation, he knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was the Salt Gang.

Hearing this name again now almost made him unable to hold back, but thinking of the person behind the Salt Gang, he forcibly suppressed the evil fire in his heart.

After a long time, he let out a deep breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the anger in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice entering his ears.

"Master Lin, have you received the salt for the five ships!"

Lin Ruhai suddenly raised his head, startled, but found that there was an extra figure in the study at some point.

He first glanced at the person in front of him, he was a half-grown boy, not much older than his daughter, and his appearance was not bad, but there was a trace of calmness in his eyes that didn't match his age.

Then he glanced outside the door, the boy who usually followed him has long since disappeared.

When he found this situation, he couldn't help but change his expression slightly. He didn't yell, but asked calmly: "Who are you? What does it have to do with the day's events?? What's the purpose of coming here tonight?"

The person who came was none other than Jia Jun. He chuckled and said, "As expected of a person who can stay in the history of inspecting salt and censorship for more than ten years, my lord is really good-natured! If it were replaced by the magistrate's office That old master, I'm afraid his head has fallen to the ground by now!"
