Chapter 272: There is no turning back when the bow is fired (please subscribe)

Things are just so fucked up sometimes!

It obviously had nothing to do with him, but he was directly involved in the center of the incident.

Lin Ruhai was in such a situation right now.

As soon as the chaos in the court broke out, he was used as a gunman, whether he liked it or not.

Here, Jia Huan is in the large study room of Rong Mansion, discussing the matter with Mr. Zheng and a group of retainers.

After listening to Master Zheng's detailed account, Jia Huan asked directly: "Master, is there any reaction from Uncle Lin?"

"No response!"

Mr. Zheng Er smiled bitterly and said: "You didn't reveal any thoughts to me, so I don't know what your Uncle Lin is thinking. This is so urgent!"

Jia Huan chuckled, but couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. The current second master Zheng was a typical emperor who was not in a hurry and an eunuch was in a hurry, but he was confused.

"Master, I think Uncle Lin's current move is very good!"

He smiled and said: "After all, Uncle Lin did not do this by himself, but he was brought up to be the gunman. The officials in the court basically knew it!"

"At this time, Uncle Lin is quite stable, unless someone wants to deliberately target him!"

"If Uncle Lin loses his composure and speaks out on his own initiative, it will easily arouse suspicion among outsiders. Even if he is not the instigator of this matter, he is at least one of the main promoters!"

"Maybe it will make people suspect that he has ulterior motives!"

Jia Huan had just met Lin Ruhai not long ago. If this person really meant it, he would definitely not say anything. That would be too stupid.

If you want to make waves in the court, you must be prepared for backlash in advance!

If someone is not good enough, he may even be in danger of being dismissed from office. Under such circumstances, if Lin Ruhai wanted to do anything, he must communicate with Rongfu in advance and then coordinate the steps.

Simply relying on the relationship between the same year and fellow villagers was not enough to protect his interests in the court.

Although the old lady's approval is still needed for the current major affairs of the Rong Mansion, the second master of the government has more and more say, which is an indisputable fact.

"I don't know, what exactly is your uncle thinking?"

Mr. Zheng Er felt a little headache and said helplessly: "If it is done properly, there is still some chance!"

"Master, I have met my uncle a few times recently, and I can be sure that my uncle has no intention of causing trouble!"

Jia Huan said directly: "Cousin from the Lin family has already reached adulthood. Considering the difficult situation of the Lin family's heirs, what Uncle Lin values ​​most right now is to find a husband that suits his needs!"

Having said this, he smiled and said: "If possible, I can continue the Lin family's legacy through my grandson!"

"After all, my uncle is not young anymore, and he suffered a lot when he was in Yangzhou!"

"When I was communicating with my uncle, I could hear that he was quite worried. How could he care about the matters in court?"

"If we really have to fight, it's impossible with my uncle's achievements that he really doesn't have the ability to fight!"

Mr. Zheng Er suddenly realized, with a relaxed look on his face, and nodded: "That's it!"

As he said that, he glanced at Jia Huan and said curiously: "Your uncle really looks down on this naughty boy. He would say such extremely private things to you!"

The speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention!

After Jia Huan said goodbye and left, one of the retainers chuckled and said, "Dong Weng, I'm afraid Master Lin has taken a liking to Young Master Huan!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Mr. Zheng Er was stunned. He was still thinking about the suggestion Jia Huan made before leaving.

Just wait and see what happens, and if you are sure to reap the benefits, take action decisively!

Jia Huan bluntly told Mr. Zheng that the turmoil in the court would not end so easily.

This time, it was Prince Zhongshun who initiated it. If the goal was not achieved, he would definitely not give up easily.

Then, Jia Huan talked about the current dirty work with Prince Zhongshun in the Korean sea trade.

He bluntly stated that Prince Zhongshun would definitely not give up easily unless he disrupted the situation in the court.

Before Prince Zhongshun, it can be said that he was severely tricked by today!

If you don't have to pay a certain price to fight back now, how can you easily give up and make peace?

Now that the lid of Yanzheng has been lifted, there is no possibility of letting it go easily.

If you think about how huge the interests of the salt government are, you will understand that this turmoil is definitely not a small one.

Maybe there will be crowds of people in the court and other places!

Of course, this matter has little to do with Rong Mansion or even the four major families of Jinling.

The four major families in Jinling did not participate in the salt policy. It was not that they had no ideas, but that they had not yet had time to implement them.

In this process, as long as we seize the opportunity, it is not impossible to deploy people, or the second master of politics himself can take a further step.

Mr. Zheng Er was naturally very moved!

He also served as minister of Honglu Temple for about two years.

Because Daqian's martial virtues were not abundant, Honglu Temple was a quite leisurely yamen.

The people who have the most dealings with are the top-notch mountain barbarian chieftains in Daqian. There is no need for the big boss like Grandpa Zheng to do anything personally.

At the same time, Mr. Zheng's own vision and understanding of officialdom are improving.

Now, with Yuan Chun as an aid in the palace, it is normal to want to go further.

And he has chosen his target, which is also a sinecure general envoy!

A person like Mr. Zheng cannot let go easily once he has set his mind on it. It just so happened that this time there was a sudden turmoil in the court, and he didn't need to go into battle shirtless in person. He only had to add fuel to the flames at the critical moment, and he was already ready to move.

Jia Huan has been dealing with Mr. Zheng for many years, and he has a good grasp of Mr. Zheng's ideas.

With just a little provocation, Mr. Zheng became ambitious and wanted to take a further step in the officialdom.

If Rong Mansion produces a third-grade official, the benefits will be quite astonishing.

At the very least, Mr. Zheng Er will have the qualifications to participate in the small court meeting in a legitimate manner, instead of using Xiao Jiuqing's name as in the past, but turning out to be a fourth grade official, and always being quite embarrassed when attending the small court meeting.

Still thinking about this, unexpectedly, the retainer suddenly mentioned that Jia Huan might have fallen under Lin Ruhai's eye and might have the chance to become Lin Ruhai's son-in-law.

“If that’s really the case, that’s really a good thing!”

Mr. Zheng was very happy when he heard this. He quite recognized the matter and even had some expectations.

In the past, it was simply impossible. He would definitely call Jia Huan in and give him a severe scolding, telling him not to have such wishful thinking.

The first thing that comes to mind is definitely his legitimate son Jia Baoyu.

To be honest, if it were to marry into the Lin family, the legitimate son Jia Baoyu would definitely be the most suitable.

He also knew that the old lady had been secretly making arrangements, but it was a pity that Jia Baoyu was too disappointed.

Originally, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were childhood sweethearts. Unfortunately, after Jia Baoyu's series of self-destructive tricks, Lin Daiyu and he had drifted apart.

Mr. Zheng Er is just slow to react, and he is not really a fool. He knows nothing about the situation in the house.

He just followed the behavior of a gentleman and entrusted all the internal affairs of Rong Mansion.

Just listening to rumors and gossip, what else can the house hide from him?

As he became increasingly dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu, he naturally valued Jia Huan, a capable concubine, more and more.

But Mr. Zheng also knew that with the old lady and Mrs. Wang around, it was basically impossible for Jia Huan to replace Jia Baoyu's position and status in the mansion. He also didn't want to put Jia Huan in danger because of his importance.

If he could become the son-in-law of the Lin family, it might be the best choice for Jia Huan.

After all, we are all relatives and know everything about them, so we don’t have to worry about getting along.

The current situation in the mansion is quite good, and Jia Huan does not need to add anything to it.

On the contrary, if Jia Huan can rise as a member of the side tribe, it will be the greatest help to the Rong Mansion.

Whether it is public or private, this is the situation.

"let it go!"

Mr. Zheng Er looked calm and said calmly: "Don't mention such things anymore!"

He also knows that secrets cannot be kept in the big study. If the news spreads, it will also arouse the dissatisfaction of the old lady. He is afraid that there will be another big disturbance, why bother?

Here, Jia Huan was not in a hurry to do anything after leaving Rong Mansion.

His daily routine was as regular as ever, without much change.

I just asked my cousin to collect some information about the Salt Gang in private.

It is not easy to check things like the salt policy from top to bottom.

The main reason is that the interests involved are too huge, and there are too many officials and local powerful people involved.

Even if the current emperor wants to make a difference, it is not that easy.

In the case where the imperial power does not go to the countryside, it is better to use Jianghu means to investigate from the bottom, which is easier and more convenient, and will not attract too much attention.

After all, illegal salt sales are commonplace in the South.

The quality of official salt is indeed better, but the price is not close to the people at all. Ordinary people simply cannot afford it. If there is no private salt supplement, I am afraid there will be big trouble long ago.

But once it comes into contact with the sale of illegal salt, the presence of the super powerful salt gang will definitely be indispensable.

Jia Huan didn't deliberately target the Salt Gang, he just wanted to be aware of it, and he had to have a few trump cards in his hand. Otherwise, how could he give huge surprises to certain people and forces?

In fact, just as Jia Huan had judged, the turmoil in the court was getting worse.

In fact, including today, many court forces want to suppress this storm.

After all, the imperial court is currently functioning normally, and without major disasters, the money in the hands of the Ministry of Household Affairs is barely enough. Why should there be a turmoil under such circumstances?

Hello, I'm hello, how are you all?

It's a pity that Prince Zhongshun didn't agree, and neither did the clan members who had interests in him.

They took the initiative to stir up trouble in the court, which can be regarded as an act of taking the initiative to cut off the flesh.

You know, Prince Zhongshun has a good relationship with the clan, and his share in the salt administration is not small.

But for the greater good, coupled with dissatisfaction with today, this is the disgusting act of cutting off flesh.

If the goal of attracting today's attention cannot be achieved, wouldn't the huge losses of millions or even millions of taels of silver every year be wasted?

Likewise, something unexpected by Jia Huan happened, but the matter became bigger and bigger. After May, it was basically impossible to suppress it. A solution must be given, otherwise the turmoil in the court would continue. If it goes on, it will even trigger an even more terrifying party struggle!
