The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

Another new year came, and just after the Spring Festival, Lin Ruhai received the emperor's imperial decree, and he was promoted again to be the third-rank salt patrol censor, in charge of the salt transportation in Huaihe River and Huaihe River.In less than ten years, he was directly promoted from a small official of the seventh rank to the third rank in a few jumps. This kind of promotion speed is rare in the entire imperial court.

The emperor clearly asked Lin Ruhai to rectify the salt affairs, but actually asked him to investigate many problems in the entire Jiangnan officialdom in private.

After all, since the new emperor came to the throne, the annual tax revenue in Jiangnan, a major taxation center in the whole country, has been decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the imperial court, the important ministers who rely on the old and sell the old, but the emperor is helpless.

Fortunately, Situ Qing knew very well that the essence of a knife on the prefix of the word forbearance is almost the ultimate in the word forbearance.Not only will he report the important matters in the court to the Supreme Emperor seriously every day, but he will even ask the Supreme Emperor for his opinion on many issues, and the decree will be issued only after obtaining the approval of the Supreme Emperor.

Although Situ Qing's actions made him look like a puppet, and he was ridiculed by all the brothers overtly and secretly, but he still went his own way, even more respectful to the Supreme Emperor than before, and respected the decisions made by the Supreme Emperor. No matter how much dissatisfaction there was in my heart, I never showed it.

Completely obeying his father's order, the style of a filial son made the abdicated Emperor very satisfied, and gradually let Situ Qing completely let go of many small matters.

In the past five years, Situ Qing has gradually replaced many low-level and inconspicuous positions in the capital and even the country with his own people, and has continued to expand his position in the court through several imperial examinations. Influence, secretly cultivated many young officials to become their favorable supporters.

On the other hand, Situ Qing mainly appeases and wins over the big families, especially those families who have a deep friendship with the Supreme Emperor, like four princes and eight princes.

Although Situ Qing has too much dissatisfaction and disgust for everything they have done, but at this moment he still has to continue to play tricks on them, and even give them greater rights and a higher status, tempting them to keep going. The self-inflated self-inflated until the Supreme Emperor couldn't bear it, that is when Situ Qing raised the butcher's knife against them.

In private, Situ Qing had secretly summoned Lin Ruhai and gave him a rough idea. The appointment of him this time as the inspector of the salt censor was only one aspect of the rectification of the salt affairs. Although the increase in the salt tax was also very important, it was more The most important thing is to find out all the details of Jiangnan Zhen's family, as well as their private dealings with court officials.

For the mother and son Situ Yong and Concubine Zhen who grew up day by day and jumped more and more joyfully, Situ Qing's patience was almost reaching its limit.

In the past few years, Jiangnan's taxes have been reduced by almost half compared to when it was at its peak. According to the investigation results of the spies sent by Situ Qing to Jiangnan, there have been no natural disasters in Jiangnan in the past few years. The tax money was completely put into his own pocket by the Zhen family under various names, and it became Situ Yong's confidence to challenge the emperor.

Although Situ Qing is now the emperor, but because the Supreme Emperor is still here, those high-ranking veterans in the court always take the words of the Supreme Emperor as the standard, and the Supreme Emperor's love for Situ Yong and Zhen Taigui Concubine is everyone's favorite. You know, so before completely getting rid of their mother and son, Situ Qing was always on guard.

Upon receiving the imperial decree, the entire Lin Mansion was overjoyed, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate.After all, everyone can see that now Lin Ruhai is definitely a hot person in the court.

After all, his younger sister is the youngest daughter-in-law of the Supreme Emperor, and he himself is the new emperor's confidant. The appointment as the inspector of salt this time should be a signal sent by the Supreme Emperor and the new emperor that they will vigorously rectify the salt administration!

After all, this salt and iron is originally a state monopoly, but in recent years, the salt tax has been decreasing year by year, but the price of salt for ordinary people has been rising. The overlord for many years!

"Xiaotian, the imperial decree has been issued. My brother and sister-in-law are going to Yangzhou to take up their posts in a few days. Do you stay in the capital, or go to Yangzhou with us?" Lin Ruhai looked at Lin Tian, ​​but he was full of hesitation.

While hoping that Lin Tian could go with them and the family would not be separated, on the other hand, he was afraid that going to Yangzhou this time would be dangerous, and hoped that Lin Tian could stay in the capital safely. Gave it to Lin Tian.

"I..." Lin Tianzheng wanted to refuse. After all, although she had worked hard in the past few years, it became more difficult to improve her cultivation base. In the past five years, Lin Tian's ability level has just recovered Sixth grade level.

However, before she could say her refusal, Situ Meng's unique hoarse voice came from outside the door.

"Xiaotian, Xiaotian! I finally convinced Brother Huang, he agreed to allow me to go to Yangzhou with you this time! Hahahaha... Look at me! It's great that the two of us can go and see together this time." Rivers and mountains!" Situ Meng talked like a cannonball, and when he entered the door and saw Lin Tianhou, he smiled like a flower.

"Little Mengmeng, shouldn't you be listening to the teacher's lecture in the palace today? Why come to my house when you have time?" Lin Tian looked at Situ Meng who was sweating profusely because he was too anxious to run, and squinted his eyes. asked with a smile.

"Hey, I have good news. I am in a hurry to inform you! I have already asked my husband for two hours' leave in advance, and I will make up for the course when I go back later!" Situ Meng waved his hand indifferently. , excitedly directed at Lin Tian, ​​smiled and said:

"Well, I'm smart! Ever since I found out that Master Lin was appointed as the censor, I went to look for Brother Huang. With my hard work, Brother Huang finally agreed. Not only that, but also specially gave I am a famous inspector! This time, not only can I go to Yangzhou with you openly and aboveboard, but I can even have a good time visiting the whole Jiangnan.

Hehe, let me tell you quietly, I also got a Shangfang sword from my father, I can cut it first and play it later!How about it, I'm great!At that time, while we are playing, we can also act chivalrously and righteously. If any corrupt official who doesn't have a good eye bumps into him, then we can't blame the young master for not keeping anyone under his sword!

Hahahaha... I've wanted to do this for a long time, but unfortunately I never encountered such a good opportunity!This time is really a rare opportunity!Xiao Tiantian, you must come with me this time, my brother will take you to travel all over the south of the Yangtze River, and by the way, you can kill the Quartet! "

'This silly boy!Really, it was sold and returned the money!Originally, I thought he had good talent, but now it seems that all of his talent has been added to martial arts, and the rest is used for business!You really don't know anything about politics!

If the emperor hadn't been for his own brother, he might not have enough lives to play with!It seems that my speed of building my own team has to be accelerated. After all, if those people can't touch the emperor, they will take this idiot as a knife!Even though he is good at martial arts now, two fists are no match for four hands. What's more, killing people is never just a way of using force! '

Thinking of this, Lin Tian couldn't help stretching out his index finger, tapped slightly between Situ Meng's eyebrows, and sighed softly, but he didn't say anything in the end.After all, after listening to Situ Meng's words, her heart was about to move, and her hands were itchy.

Although Lin Tian also understands that the emperor probably just wants to use Situ Meng to attract the attention of Jiangnan officials, and doesn't expect him to do anything, but if someone jumps over the wall in a hurry, he will secretly attack Situ Meng Woolen cloth?

According to Situ Meng's current cultivation of internal strength, ordinary assassination is not afraid of him at all, especially with Lin Tian and Xiaotao on the side, but there are no absolutes in the world, and Jiangnan belongs to the Zhen family and Situ Yong. In the base camp, it is hard to say whether they will do something secretly.

However, Lin Tian was upset that Situ Meng had already been drawn under her wings by her, but now he was being used like this. Although she also knew that the emperor did nothing wrong, Lin Tian was protecting his weaknesses tightly. .

Seeing Situ Meng so happy, Lin Tian didn't want to pour cold water on him.Since she also acted together, how could such a good opportunity to train soldiers be wasted?

He secretly said in his heart: "Forget it, since it's here, it's safe. Since Mengmeng wants to play, and the emperor also wants him to divert the attention of those officials, then let's just play big!"Just give this Jiangnan a big earthquake, but I don't know if these people can't help but let us play!

Those officials who had a vegetarian meal in their corpses should also be cleaned up. Three years to clean up the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes in silver, I am afraid that few of the officials in Jiangnan are not evil, and it is not wrong to kill them all!As for whether the emperor can survive in the end, and whether he can find someone to replace these officials, that is not something we should worry about!

Well, it just so happens that if these moths are cleaned up, the rest of the people will be well-behaved, and my brother will be able to do things more smoothly. Presumably, few people will dare to fight against my brother by pretending to be crazy ! '

Thinking of this, Lin Tian not only agreed with Situ Meng's next action, but also, in order to let him do it boldly, he even brought all the Death Wolf Cavalry who had nothing to do, a total of 200 people, two Ten whole squads.

Except for those who followed them and stayed behind to protect Lin Ruhai and Jia Min from going to the post smoothly, everyone else dispersed and set off on the road quietly.

With Lin Tian's full support, Situ Meng is in a state of high fighting spirit at this moment, his whole body seems to have been beaten with chicken blood, and he is ready to show his talents in the south of the Yangtze River and do a big job!
