The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

Family reunion, happy time always flies so fast, the New Year has passed by inadvertently, taking advantage of the official seal of the Spring Festival, Situ Meng and Lin Tian dressed in men's clothing, pretending to be a pair of scholars who went abroad to study, and brought this Yangzhou I have played all over the mansion and surrounding areas.

Although the winter in Yangzhou is not as cold as in the capital city, and you can still see red flowers and bamboos and greenery, the cold and humid climate still makes it difficult for the two of them who grew up in the north to adapt.

Therefore, more time, the two of them still hid in the specially built room with a fire wall and floor heating in the Slender West Lake Palace to chat and talk about life, especially summarizing all kinds of information that the Death Squad has investigated during this period of time.

After the affairs of the Xuzhou Mansion were on the right track, the Reaper Squad was fully mobilized and began to track down all the people involved in the smuggling of salt along the lines of the Shen family and the Xue family.

For more than half a year, they have not been idle. Judging from the information obtained now, almost [-]% of the officials in all the places under the rule of the two governors Jiang have been bribed by them either by threats or lures. That's right, only a very few people with strong backgrounds, who came here to be gilded themselves, didn't get involved in this matter.

Even so, it's just that they didn't accept their black money, but they turned a blind eye to what they did in private.After all, as an official in Liangjiang, who would dare to confront his immediate boss, the governor of Liangjiang, Ga Li!

Although the Death Squad did not find any proof that Gali was clearly involved in the case, almost everything in the whole case was related to him.

The Shen family and the Xue family are worthy of being in business for generations, and their business methods are not insignificant. After the incident in Xuzhou Mansion came out, they even directly cut off their wrists. , and even consciously paid a huge fine to Situ Meng, and said with a righteous face that the family didn't know about these things at all.

Since there is no evidence in hand that can directly correct the two main branches, and considering that the firm under their name occupies a huge share of the national business, Situ Meng went downhill after discussing with Lin Tian and Ning Lixin. On the surface, this matter was exposed, and all the fines paid were directly escorted back to Beijing with great fanfare, which can be regarded as temporarily making up for the huge gap in the national treasury.

However, the various investigations secretly targeting the two of them have not decreased at all.Both Situ Meng and Lin Tian attached great importance to this and did not dare to relax for a moment.

Finally, after more than half a year of investigation, the Reaper team found some clues this time, and followed the Xue family's caravan to find the hidden island in Taihu Lake that the previous governor of Xuzhou guessed. The huge warehouse of private salt dealers.

It's just that the various defenses here are bigger and tighter than the ones in Yunlong Lake before. Not only are there no loopholes to exploit, but also a large number of large-scale defense equipment are arranged around the island, and their defense power is already weak. It is inferior to Yangzhou City.

"How could these guys have this city defense equipment! From production to manufacture, all of this equipment is under the multiple supervision of the court. Even if some of them have problems due to various reasons, all the damaged ones must be shipped back. How could it be repaired by the Ministry of Industry or sealed up and recast? It would appear on a small island in Taihu Lake!

Each of these things has a corresponding number, which one is installed on the city wall, and all of them are recorded in detail. This, this...why is this happening?What went wrong? "Situ Meng held the letter sent back by the Death Squad in his hand, widened his eyes, and said in disbelief.

"Hehe... what's all the fuss about this!" Compared to Situ Meng's unbelievable, Lin Tian didn't react at all, and didn't even raise her eyelids. She had seen too many such things in her previous life. too much.

Seeing that Situ Meng didn't respond for a long time, and his fingers crumpled the letter paper without realizing it, he got up and walked to his side, patted his shoulder lightly, and comforted him softly:

"No matter how perfect the imperial court's system is, it still depends on people to implement it! Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and they will be flexible. There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. This is not empty talk!

If you have time to think about this problem now, you might as well think about it, how can you break through the defense of this thing, otherwise, it is just a dream to send troops directly to take down this bigger private salt den like last time!You don't want to give up halfway when you handle a case independently for the first time! "

Lin Tianxia consciously diverted Situ Meng's attention. Although Situ Meng has experienced so many things, Situ Meng is much older than before, but this social experience and life experience are still somewhat lacking. Lin Tian doesn't want to say more about it Why, because, there are many things that can only be remembered more deeply if you have experienced them yourself.

Although she loves Situ Meng very much, she also doesn't want him to become too innocent under excessive protection. She wants to be a prince with real power who promises everything she promises. Overprotecting him now can only harm him, even if he Having made a big mistake, Lin Tian is also confident that he can help him resist, but if it is not possible, Lin Tian still has the ability to run with him.

"Xiaotian, why are they so stubborn and unrepentant! Isn't the incident in Xuzhou Mansion enough to make them wake up? They have earned a lot of money over the years! Why can't they stop, they have to be like this Greed is not enough!"

Situ Meng seemed to be asking Lin Tian as well as his own heart.

"This……"

Just when Lin Tian was about to say something, Xiaotao suddenly ran in from outside. Before she arrived, her voice came from afar: "Miss, miss! Madam is about to give birth! Madam is about to give birth!"

"What?" After Lin Tian heard this, his whole body was shocked, and he rushed to the door, saw Xiao Tao running towards him, and asked anxiously: "Didn't the doctor say that it will take half a month to arrive?" ? Why is it so early?"

"My servant doesn't know either! The Lin family sent someone to deliver the letter just now! Miss, this servant has ordered someone to prepare the horses, you...do you want to change your clothes and we are leaving now?"

Xiaotao originally wanted to ask if she wanted to leave immediately, but when she saw Lin Tianhou wearing only a thin coat in a room full of floor heating and fire walls, she immediately changed her mind.

"It's such a critical moment, how can I have time to change clothes!" Lin Tian said, but he moved quickly to the side of the cabinet, took out two thick mink fur coats directly from it, and threw one to the cabinet. He took off Situ Meng, put one on his body, and rushed out like a whirlwind.

Just when Lin Tian and Situ Meng rode their BMWs and galloped towards the Lin Mansion, there were pure white snowflakes in the sky. This is a very rare thing in Yangzhou. To a few snowfalls, not to mention that it has already entered February.

When the two of them rushed to Lin's mansion, they found that although Mrs. Lin gave birth, the servants in the mansion kept their feet on the ground, but everything was going on in such an orderly manner, without any trouble. In a panic, the faces of all the servants are mostly beaming.

"Brother, how long has sister-in-law been in? Why is there no sound at all?" Lin Tian looked at Lin Ruhai who was walking anxiously in the yard, and asked quickly.

"It's been more than an hour since I went in, and Mrs. Wen has already gone in, but there has been no movement until now! I don't know what's going on inside now, so we can't go in to help! It's really frustrating!" Lin Ruhai stared fixedly at the delivery room, and said a little anxiously.

After entering February, the weather has gradually warmed up, and the heavy cotton-padded clothes have long been shelved, and everyone has changed into relatively thin jackets, but unexpectedly, the weather suddenly changed, and it snowed suddenly , the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees all of a sudden, and after a while, the ground in the yard was already a vast expanse of whiteness.

Even though he was wearing a big cloak, Lin Tian felt that his body was shivering from the cold at the moment, but Lin Ruhai, who was only wearing a thin jacket indoors, felt nothing at all, not only his whole face flushed red , sweating profusely on his head, his hands were also crossed and clenched into fists, and he kept muttering something.

"Come here, I didn't see that the sky has changed. Is the master wearing so thin? Hurry up and get a cloak and put it on the master!" Lin Tian quickly brushed off the snowflakes on Lin Ruhai's clothes, and pointed at the servants beside him Angrily said.

"Yes, yes, the little one will do it right away!"

"Brother, don't be too anxious. Since there is no movement inside, it may be that it hasn't really started yet. I heard that the first birth takes a long time! You should also take care of your health and don't come to my sister-in-law. Everything is normal, you will be in trouble if you tire yourself out!

The snowy eyes are getting bigger and bigger, you won't be able to help if you stay here in the yard, let's go to the side hall and wait! "Lin Tian persuaded, while exerting force with his hands, Situ Meng also cooperated, and the two forcefully carried Lin Ruhai into the house.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. It's a good sign. Brother, don't worry! I remember that the delivery room has been remodeled a long time ago, and the earth dragon inside was already on fire. It will definitely not be so cold that my sister-in-law and little nephew!"

While comforting Lin Tian, ​​he couldn't help stretching his neck to look towards the delivery room.

If it wasn't for her not knowing medical skills and being a big girl, the maids and mother-in-law would have stopped her, and she would have rushed in to see the situation.

Because this is completely different from the production situation she had heard before!She still vaguely remembers that in her last life, her only girlfriend once told her how painful it was during childbirth, and she screamed so hoarse that her voice was hoarse for several days after giving birth. Woolen cloth.

But at the moment the delivery room is eerily quiet, not to mention the shouts, even the voice of Mrs. Wen can't be heard, it's so strange!

Lin Tiansi thought about it, but in the end he still couldn't let go, so he secretly asked Xiao Tao to pretend to be a servant in charge of delivering hot water, and sneak in to see what happened.

Unexpectedly, when Xiaotao was about to go in with hot water, the interior of the delivery room was suddenly opened from the inside, and the midwife appeared there with a happy face holding a small baby.

"Did you give birth?" Lin Tian felt the wind blowing under his feet, and the speed was as fast as teleportation. One second, he was still in the side hall, and the next second he came to Wen Po.

Lin Tian stretched out his hand several times, but in the end he still didn't dare to take the little baby into his hands. The little guy looked too small and soft, and Lin Tian was afraid that he would accidentally hurt her. .

Looking at the little guy who was twitching his fingers and sleeping with his eyes closed, Lin Tian's heart was about to melt at this moment.

"Congratulations Mrs. Lin, Madam gave birth to a daughter!" Although Wen Po was taken aback by Lin Tian's speed, her hand holding the baby was still very steady. Seeing Lin Ruhai running towards her, she immediately smiled all over her face. Said.

"Is it a daughter?" Lin Ruhai felt a little disappointed for a moment, but then he was relieved and happy.

Although this is not a boy, it is Lin Ruhai's first child after all. Seeing this little life connected with his blood, he was still very excited.
