My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 215 Lin Ruhai in Versailles

The news that Jia Yu went to Manxiang Tower for a banquet, but turned around and returned without even entering the door, quickly spread throughout Yangzhou, causing those who were observing secretly to frown secretly.

Luan Tili, the prefect of Yangzhou, hurried to the governor's Yamen early in the morning and asked to see the governor Lan Renxian.

"Sir Governor, what on earth was that man thinking yesterday?

He obviously agreed to go to the appointment, but when he got to the door, he turned back. What was the fuss about? "

Looking at the worried and hurried Luan Tili, Lan Renxian sneered in his heart, this Luan Tili really likes to pretend to be confused while pretending to understand.

Seeing that he was so fond of pretending to be confused, Lan Renxian didn't like him and nodded, "That's true. Lord Jia is new here, and no one knows what his temperament and preferences are like?

It's probably because Ding Shoudao and the gang of salt merchants caused trouble yesterday.

As an important official of the imperial court, Lord Jia has come to Yangzhou, and the Yangzhou government has to express his views.

Well, as the magistrate of Yangzhou, today, on behalf of me and my colleagues in Jiangsu, I will pay a visit to Sir Jia, say hello to me, and also ask what Sir Jia’s request is. Good news waiting for you here. "

When Luan Tili heard this, he immediately knew that the governor was dissatisfied with him for pretending to be stupid and was beating himself up.

He quickly smiled and said: "Your Excellency, although I am a magistrate, I still know how much I have.

A mere prefect is probably not much bigger than an ant in the eyes of Lord Jia.

As for what happened last night, I also heard a little bit about it. It is said that Ding Shoudao played a clever trick and arranged for people to create a big pomp at the door. He never thought that he would immediately anger Sir Jia, without saying a word. He said turning around and leaving.

All of a sudden, Ding Shoudao and the others were suspended in mid-air, unable to get down. No... Last night, Ding Shoudao found Xiaguan overnight and asked him for countermeasures. "

Seeing Luan Tili give in immediately, Lan Renxianqing let him go, snorted and sneered, "This Ding Shoudao has become more and more arrogant in recent years.

Do you really think he can handle the big shots from Shenjing?

This man is not the useless snacks that came here before. Despite his young age, he is also the man who led the army to defeat the Mongolian Tatars and sued for peace. Is this something that a merchant like him who can only sell salt can handle?

Now it's okay, let's play it off, right? "

Luan Tili deeply agreed with Lan Renxian's words.

Even though they accept bribes from salt merchants every year, in the minds of officials like them, salt merchants are actually businessmen who are not on the stage, and they are not in the same class at all.

Last night, Ding Shoudao was so stubborn that he wanted to plot against a lord. Although they were in the same camp, this did not prevent them from ridiculing and gloating about these people.

Even though I look down upon you, things still have to be done.

Luan Tili said again: "Sir, that's what I said. But that Lord Jia came to Yangzhou this time, obviously to stand up for Lin Ruhai.

As soon as he arrived in Yangzhou yesterday, he blatantly moved into the Salt Patrol Censor's Mansion and told others clearly that he came here just to disturb the salt merchants. No wonder Ding Shoudao and the others were anxious.

As for us and Ding Shoudao, we will both prosper and suffer. Once Ding Shoudao and the others fall, we will also suffer. You still have to give us some advice! "

"This bunch of trash!"

As soon as he said this, Lan Renxian became furious.

With an angry look on his face, he said, "These bastards, I have already told them.

Nothing must be done, and try to leave a way for people to survive. People who do not leave a way for others to survive often do not leave a way for themselves to survive.

These idiots not only killed Lin Ruhai's wife and children, but now they also want to kill Lin Ruhai.

Is it okay now? Lin Ruhai was indeed going to die, but he was forced to panic. His Majesty was given a secret code and reinforcements were brought in. Now I want to see what they will do?

Are you going to kill Lord Jia as well? "

Seeing Lan Renxian getting angry, Luan Tili also smiled bitterly, "Sir, now is not the time to be angry.

Lord Jia did not come alone. There were five hundred officers and soldiers with him. As soon as he moved into the Xunyan Censor's Mansion, he surrounded the entire Censor's Mansion and no one was allowed to go out at will.

Even if someone goes out to buy something, they will always work in groups of three to supervise each other. The people we arranged in the Yushi Mansion couldn't get the news out at all, and we couldn't get the news in either.

No one knows what happened in the Censor's Mansion these two days. Isn't this going to be a good thing for us? "

Lan Renxian can become the governor, so of course he is not a useless snack.

Be angry, but things still need to be done.

He pondered for a while and then sighed, "That's all... In that case, I will go there myself.

You go tell Ding Shoudao and ask him to prepare immediately. Later, you will accompany me to the Yushi Mansion. I will personally visit Lin Ruhai and pay a visit to Lord Jia. "

Seeing that Lan Renxian finally agreed to come forward in person, Luan Tili was overjoyed. He quickly stood up and bowed: "Don't worry, sir. I will inform Ding Shoudao immediately and ask them to prepare a generous gift."

"Well, remember to hurry up and be ready within an hour."

"I understand!"

Near noon, Luan Tili and Lan Renxian were escorted by more than a dozen government officials and dozens of Fubiao camp officers and soldiers to the Xunyan Censor's Mansion.

But as soon as they arrived at Xunyan Censor's Mansion, they were stopped.

"Stop anyone who comes... tell me your name!"

The leader of the team looked at the officers and soldiers in front of him who were wearing red and white military uniforms, wearing snow-white shiny helmets, holding firecrackers, and looking murderous. He also trembled a little in his heart, but he glanced at the two helmets behind him. The sedan, inexplicably gained some confidence.

He raised his hands to the leader who looked like an officer and said, "So that you can know that I am the head of the Yangzhou Prefecture's Yamen.

This time, I accompanied Mr. Lan, the governor of Jiangsu, and Mr. Luan, the prefect of Yangzhou, to visit Mr. Lin, the salt patrol censor, and hoped that it would be convenient for the military master. "

The team officer glanced at the yamen officer, the two sedans behind him, and the officers and soldiers crowding around with their chests and bellies raised, and said calmly: "You all wait here until I go and report to your lord."

After saying that, the team officer turned around and walked inside.

After the team officer left, the squad leader wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Just as he turned around to report, he found that his lord and the governor had already got off the sedan and were staring in the direction where the team officer left. Trance.

The squad leader hurriedly came to Luan Tili. Before he could say anything, he saw Luan Tili wave his hand, "You don't need to say anything, I just saw it."

After saying that, Luan Tili turned to Lan Renxian and whispered: "Sir... what do you think?"

Lan Renxian pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "I have observed that these soldiers are well behaved and have strict military discipline. They are indeed an elite army. Uncle Dingyuan is worthy of being a rising star in Shenjing who has become famous in recent years." Luan Tiliye Agreeing: "What you said is true, Uncle Dingyuan is indeed well-deserved."

The class leader was confused. What on earth were these two talking about?

Do all these officials talk in such roundabout ways?

In fact, what this squad leader didn't know was that what Luan Tili and Lan Renxian were feeling was the elite of these officers and soldiers.

As the saying goes, a glimpse of something reveals the whole leopard. From these officers and soldiers, we can see the true level of Jia Yu as the commander. After all, how can a person with a false reputation train a group of elite subordinates.

After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other and could see the solemn look on each other's faces.

For them, the more capable Jia Yu is, the more difficult things are.

Everyone knows that Jia Yu came to Yangzhou this time for the salt merchants, and as vested interests, they certainly didn't want Jia Yu to cause too much trouble.

This will not only harm their interests, but also cause chaos in Yangzhou and even the entire Jiangnan, which they do not want to see.

But before they could continue talking, the team officer just now came out and said loudly to everyone: "My lord has invited two gentlemen."

After hearing this, Lan Renxian and Luan Tili ordered the government officials and officers and soldiers from Fubiao Camp to stay outside, and they walked towards the mansion.

This is not because the two of them are heartless or completely unsuspecting, but because of the ancient rules of officialdom. When subordinates meet with their superiors, they cannot bring their entourage in without the permission of the superiors.

Of course, it would be a different matter if the superior officer met his subordinates.

When arriving at Xunyan Censor's Mansion, the first thing to do is of course visit Lin Ruhai.

Regardless of whether their primary purpose is to find Jia Yu, at least they have to look good.

Lin Ruhai still met them in his bedroom, and saw Lin Ruhai with a sallow complexion and a depressed look.

Lan Renxian and Luan Tili were happy at first, and then sighed secretly.

Since arriving in Yangzhou six or seven years ago, this salt patrol censor has been committed to seizing silver from salt merchants and turning it over to the court.

If the deduction is too much, the salt merchants will naturally be unhappy.

If you cut off my wealth, wouldn't you just kill my parents?

How can this be done?

Since the road of wooing doesn't work, the only way to do it is to be tough.

As a result, one after another, Lin Ruhai's wife and youngest son died of illness.

I originally thought that this man would be scared after his wife and child died, but I didn't expect that this man was really loyal to Emperor Changping. He still pursued and beat the salt merchants, and finally forced those interest groups not to kill him.

However, although they already knew that Lin Ruhai would die soon, as colleagues, seeing Lin Ruhai end up like this did not prevent them from shedding a few crocodile tears.

I saw Lan Renxian walking quickly to the bed, and said sadly with tears in his eyes: "Brother Ruhai, I have suffered so much for you, why is it like this... why is it like this!"

Along with Lan Renxian, Luan Tili followed closely behind, holding Lin Ruhai's skinny hand exposed outside the cup, and said in a trembling voice: "Master Lin, you have suffered!"

Facing the two Yangzhou leaders and the fourth leader who looked at him "affectionately", Lin Ruhai just smiled faintly, looking like he had already looked away.

"Master Lan and Master Luan, it's rare for you to come and visit me. However, you don't have to feel sad.

Wenshan Gong also said that since ancient times, no one has died.

It's nothing more than a matter of dying a few years earlier and dying a few years later.

It has been seven or eight years since Xiaguan came to Yangzhou. If he is worthy of his superiors and worthy of his people, he will have no regrets even if he dies now.

If you are lucky, maybe a sentence like this will be left in the history books a hundred years later. During the reign of Emperor Changping, Yangzhou Salt Inspector Lin Ruhai obeyed the law and served the people wholeheartedly during his tenure. This sentence will be enough for the rest of his life.

And if the two adults do their job well, they will probably leave a mark in the history books hundreds of years later. In this way, the three of us can be regarded as leaving our names in history. Isn't it wonderful? "

Although Lin Ruhai said this with a smile, a trace of embarrassment flashed across the faces of Lan Renxian and Luan Tili.

You, Lin Ruhai, can leave a name in history, and you will naturally leave words of praise. Don’t you know what name we can leave behind?

It is said that one's own family knows one's own affairs. If others don't know what one has done, how can one not be aware of it?

With all the money they've been greedy for and the bad things they've done over the years... they still have a name in history. I'm afraid all they've left behind is a bad name, right?

Thinking of this, Lan Renxian suddenly began to wonder if he had become dizzy when he climbed up the pole and came here today.

Seeing the unnatural expressions on the faces of Lan Renxian and Luan Tili, Lin Ruhai smiled and did not continue to apply eye drops to them, but asked: "The two adults are here today. In addition to watching the officer's death, Is there anything else besides the other person?"

Hearing Lin Ruhai take the initiative to bring up this matter, Luan Tili said quickly: "Master Lin is really considerate, I and Master Futai are here today.

The first is to visit Mr. Lin, and the second is that I want to pay a visit to Mr. Jia, and I also hope that it will be convenient for Mr. Lin. "

Lin Ruhai laughed, but as soon as he laughed, he coughed violently.

Soon, a beautiful woman in her thirties came in from outside, helped Lin Ruhai up, and patted his back gently.

After Lin Ruhai's cough subsided a little, she brought another bowl of soup and fed Lin Ruhai a few mouthfuls.

After the coughing stopped, Lin Ruhai said apologetically: "You two adults, please don't blame me for thinking twice about following the emperor's orders and coming to Yangzhou on errands.

He was new to the place and didn't want to stir up trouble, so he immediately found my uncle and settled here.

It's okay for the two adults to think twice if they want to see each other. He is probably still doing morning exercises now and should be here soon. Please be patient and wait for a while.

Xiaomei, go to the backyard and tell Sansi that I have a distinguished guest here and ask him to come over quickly. "

"Yes!"

Aunt Mei left quickly.

Lan Renxian and Luan Tili looked at each other with helpless expressions in their eyes.

Look...this is really Versailles.

A dignified lord with a heavy army and an official mission came to Yangzhou. Not only did Lin Ruhai address him by his first name, but his tone was as if he was treating his own nephew.

But they are indeed family members. Jia Yu's wife Jia Yuanchun is the niece of Lin Ruhai's deceased wife. There is nothing wrong with Lin Ruhai calling him a good nephew.
