After finally sending Lin Ruhai away, Wu Mingqing breathed a sigh of relief. There was no danger, but Lin Ruhai would bring someone back tomorrow, so what should he do? "Master, master, what should I do? Lin Ruhai will bring someone here tomorrow, and I don't know who the doctor he brought is. What should I do if I find out that I'm pretending to be sick?" I ran out of ideas, and when I caught the master, I asked him to come up with a plan.The master smiled secretly, and took out a pack of medicinal powder from his pocket.

"My lord, if you take this powder, the doctor will be able to see everything. This is what his subordinates paid a lot of money for. Can you protect your lord from this disaster?"

The medicine powder was wrapped in oiled paper. After Wu Mingqing took it, he opened the medicine powder and it was green: "This medicine powder must not be poisonous. Will I be fine if I eat it? Is it really just pretending to be sick?" Wu Mingqing still has Wary, he is most afraid of death.Especially after being used to being pampered and pampered all these years, he became more and more afraid of death.It's just that this master has been by his side since he took office. Thanks to him, he was able to sit in the position of magistrate of Yangzhou for such a long time.

"Adults are naturally fine, but the young ones are all watching you eat. There are no adults, how can the young ones be today." The master brought a bowl of water and handed it to Wu Mingqing, "Adults now Just drink it, so that the effect of the medicine will be manifested tomorrow, without further ado. Lin Ruhai is the most cunning and changeable person, we can't let him discover anything. What we need is time." After being persuaded by the master, Wu Mingqing did not doubt it With him, he immediately put the powder into the water.

"This medicine is not bitter. You go and prepare some candied fruit for me. I am the most afraid of suffering." Wu Mingqing felt frightened when he saw the medicine. He has been in good health all these years and has not taken medicine for a long time. , Now I have to take medicine.When he thought of the bitter taste of the medicine before, he retreated.

"Go, what are you waiting for, why don't you hurry up and prepare candied fruit for the master, are they all dead people? On weekdays, how did I tell you, one by one..." The master was furious, and those people said yes again and again. Went up to fetch preserves.

When the candied fruit arrived, Wu Mingqing drank the medicine without worry, then took the candied fruit from the man, and fell into a drowsy sleep.After the master saw that Wu Mingqing was asleep, a secretive smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

But at this time in the Lin Mansion, the butler Lin Hong looked at Lin Ruhai in a very puzzled manner, and after giving Lin Ruhai the tea, he said, "Master, Mr. Wu's appearance today is clearly pretending to be sick, why didn't the master expose him on the spot? Anyone who is young can see why you, master..." Lin Hong couldn't understand Wu Mingqing's face the most, and thinking of all the things he did with the head of the Lin family before, he hated Wu Mingqing even more in his heart.Helplessly, Wu Mingqing did not have any losses at this time.

Lin Ruhai put down the teacup and stood up: "Wu Mingqing is fine, he is just an idiot, but the master around him is not simple. As the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to deal with, but the little ghost is the most difficult. Wu Mingqing has always been there to see the face of the master, I want to see it. What kind of moth will they come up with tomorrow?"

It turned out that Lin Ruhai had a plan. He wanted to find out Wu Mingqing's reality, so he didn't expose Wu Mingqing on the spot today. For a person like Wu Mingqing, it was too easy to expose him. After delaying the time by pretending to be sick, Lin Ruhai wanted to see what this person really wanted.

"Master, Mr. Wu's master please see me!"

The boy came forward to report, Lin Ruhai was taken aback, it was already evening, why the master would come to see him at this time, this was somewhat out of Lin Ruhai's surprise. "He's here at this time, it's a strange thing, let him come here quickly, the old man wants to see what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd?" , the master saw that Lin Ruhai was still sitting in the upper seat, bowed his hands and saluted Lin Ruhai.

"Master Lin, this little one's visit is really helpless. This is the ledger of Master Wu's corruption and perverting the law, and it's all here." The master took out a ledger from his pocket and handed it to Lin Ruhai.Lin Hong stepped forward to welcome the ledger and handed it to Lin Ruhai.

"You are..."

Lin Ruhai looked through it, and it turned out to be the ledger. I remembered it in great detail. It was all ledgers of Wu Mingqing’s embezzlement and perversion of the law, as well as matters related to Yangzhou’s salt administration. Lin Ruhai had always been worried about these things. It's all solved.This ledger is very useful.

"Master Lin, you are the master of Qingtian. The little one has been instigated by Wu Mingqing to do these corrupt and illegal things all these years. It is really helpless. Today, I will give these things to Mr. Lin and ask Mr. Lin to see that the little one has committed crimes and meritorious deeds." On the elements, spare the villain's life."

The master knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Ruhai.It turned out that this time it was actually for self-protection.Lin Ruhai also knew a thing or two about these official affairs, and it was reasonable for the master to act like this at this time, but Lin Ruhai felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

"If that's the case, get up first!" Lin Ruhai just accepted the account book, and had no intention of arresting Wu Mingqing.

"Master Lin, that old thief Wu Mingqing is the most cunning and cunning. This time I brought the account book to Master Lin. I'm afraid he has already noticed something. What if he escapes temporarily? I also ask Master Lin to uphold justice and send it to him quickly." This old thief Wu Mingqing has been arrested and brought to justice!" Said the master kowtowed again.

Lin Hong was filled with righteous indignation when he heard this, and was going to ask him to take someone to tie Wu Mingqing himself, but Lin Ruhai waved his hand: "No hurry, no hurry, the old man knows who Mr. Wu is. I don't care. Master is tied up by this old man!"

Lin Ruhai pointed the account book at the candle, and when it caught fire, it burned up.The master was shocked, he didn't expect Lin Ruhai to do this.I heard before that Lin Ruhai's temperament is the most capricious, and I didn't notice it before, but I saw it today, and this time, it turned out to be like this, how could she not be angry.

"Master Lin, why did you do this? Do you want to shield Wu Mingqing? Don't you always get along with Wu Mingqing when officials protect each other? Master Wu even sent someone to assassinate you. Why did you..." The master couldn't figure it out, he This plan is flawless, as long as Lin Ruhai sends someone to arrest Wu Mingqing, it will be done.It's just that Lin Ruhai didn't do that anymore.Instead, he was tied up, which is simply incredible.

Lin Ruhai stood up and walked in front of the master, "Wu Mingqing is just an idiot, how could he keep such detailed accounts, and that day when I saw Wu Mingqing, I relied on the master very much. Master, you are Wu Mingqing's confidant. Betraying your master like that, this old man is the worst in life."

What Lin Ruhai hates the most is being betrayed by others. If Mei Chaofeng and others hadn't betrayed him back then, his Ah Heng would not have died.Wu Mingqing was just taking money and breaking the law, which is also a capital crime.It's just that he hates this master even more than Wu Mingqing.Not to mention whether this master has other plans, he can't bear this betrayal alone.

"Hold me down!"

Lin Ruhai gave the master a disgusted look. Lin Hong had never seen Lin Ruhai show such a disgusted expression.The movement also quickened, so he quickly got the master down.At this time, the master turned around and realized that his plan had failed.

Early the next morning, when Lin Ruhai woke up, he heard a report from his servants that Wu Mingqing, the prefect of Yangzhou, committed suicide at home in fear of crime.

"Suicide?"

Lin Ruhai got up with his clothes on, and rushed to Wu Mingqing's home together with Lin Hong. When he got there, he found out that Wu Mingqing's seven orifices were bleeding, and his seal was black, which was obviously a sign of poisoning.Wu Zuo is doing an autopsy. "Master Lin, he was poisoned and died."

Wu Zuo left, but Lin Ruhai was not afraid of the toxin, and went to check Wu Mingqing's death, thinking that he still didn't understand the principles of these poisons. If the old poison Ouyang Feng came, he might be able to see a thing or two. Unfortunately, he is gone.

"Wu Zuo, everyone can tell that he was poisoned and died. What kind of poison, when did he die, and when did he take the poison? You always have to tell the old man clearly?" Lin Ruhai squinted at Wu Mingqing. I saw him as a doctor, but I didn't expect it to be a cold corpse now.It's really impermanent, and I thought of seeing Wu Mingqing's corruption and perverting so many things yesterday, yellow and white things, whether they were born or not, they would not be taken away after death.

"Report!"

Lin Ruhai is still inspecting the corpse here, and someone said that someone came from the palace, "Hey, what's going on..."

The person who came was an old eunuch. As soon as he entered the mansion, he knew that Wu Mingqing had died of poisoning, so he staggered over, obviously unable to accept this fact.

"Master Wu was poisoned and died. It is still unclear whether he killed himself or committed suicide. This father-in-law is..." Lin Ruhai looked at the man's attire and voice in front of him, and he could tell he was an eunuch in the palace.The man looked at Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai didn't wear official clothes today, but just casual clothes.

"You're afraid it's that master. The miscellaneous family was sent by Concubine Wu. Why did your lord die suddenly? Is it Lin Ruhai who you said in your heart?"

It turned out that the old concubine Wu Mingqing wrote to in the palace was Wu Mingqing's real aunt, and now she has a high status in the palace.Last time Wu Mingqing was afraid that something might happen, so he wrote a letter to the old concubine. The letter was written with the help of the master. It was nothing more than that Wu Mingqing knew that he was wrong. This time, he asked the concubine to explain clearly, so he resigned from office, etc. I just want to save my life.And the Wu family had few heirs in the first place, and he was the only one in Wu Mingqing's generation, and now he has no heirs under his knees.

Concubine Wu naturally couldn't look at the Wu family's succession, so she thought about taking Wu Mingqing back to the capital to stay for a few days, and waited for the limelight to pass before she went to the emperor to say a few good words to keep Wu Mingqing, but she never thought of it.Wu Mingqing died just like that, "This is Lin Ruhai, Lord Lin, not some master?" Seeing that the father-in-law admitted that he was wrong, Lin Hong immediately stood up and introduced Lin Ruhai.As soon as the father-in-law heard that this person was Lin Ruhai, he remembered what he said just now, and knew that he had made a slip of the tongue.

"It turned out to be Master Lin, the miscellaneous family was rude just now!"
