The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

The new prefect of Yangzhou is named Chen Ruiwu, who is the grandson of Duke Qi.His elder brother, Chen Ruiwen, succeeded General Megatron of the third rank; Chen Ruiwu, who entered the officialdom from Kedi, has now been promoted to the prefect of the fourth rank.There are two brothers, Wen and Wu, the one named Ruiwen is a military officer, and the one named Ruiwu is a civil servant, which is interesting.

Although Qi Guogong's family was downgraded extremely severely, it is reasonable for a noble family like the Four Kings and Eight Dukes to seek such a fat job as the magistrate of Yangzhou.And let's not say who is the preference of a family like the Duke of Qi's, at least as a noble family, it is not so easy to be coerced by the officials of the border, and it has a relatively tough background to govern the place.

To say that Daiyu doesn't believe in the words of four kings and eight princes who are united in the same spirit, these people, who were killed in the army, did have some friendship, but they also put friendship above the interests of the clan.Even if the crown prince could not rely on Cheng'en Gongfu, the Lin family didn't expect Chen Ruiwu to have the same interests as the Lin family's son-in-law.But as long as the Chen family does not favor the Zhen family, it will be good news for the Lin family.At least Chen Ruiwu's background gave him the confidence not to favor Zhen Yingjia.

On the contrary, Lin Ruhai and his daughter were quite surprised by the new Tongzhi from Yangzhou.

The new Yangzhou fellow named Lin Feng is Lin Ruhai's uncle and Lin Yuzhu's grandfather. He was originally a general judge in Huzhou.

There is an unwritten rule in the officialdom, it is a hurdle to be promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, although there is only half a step from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, some people with poor official luck cannot cross it in their lifetime.This time Lin Feng was judged from the sixth-rank general to the fifth-rank Tongzhi. The grade was only raised by one level, but the grade was raised by two levels. It was a real leapfrog promotion, and it was in a rich place like Yangzhou. It can be seen that Lin Feng A promotion is extremely rare.

Lin Ruhai knew that the girl was good, so she asked, "Why did Yu'er say that the victory has already been decided?"

Daiyu focused on this promotion and appointment again, and said calmly and firmly: "The imperial court is extremely determined to thoroughly investigate the salt tax fraud case."

Lin Ruhai gave an 'oh' and looked at Daiyu with a smile.

Daiyu knew that this was her father's intention to mention something about the school, so she went on to say: "Jiangnan is a province with a large taxpayer in the country, and it is also a land of fish and rice. The food produced supplies the capital and surrounding garrisons. The stability of Jiangnan is related to the country. Your Majesty He intends to revive the atmosphere of officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, but he can't act too hastily.

If officials in Jiangnan are replaced too quickly, local government affairs are not handed over in time, or if spring plowing or autumn harvest is affected, or if other people make trouble like this time to drive up the salt price, it will affect local stability, and then affect the whole country.If the replacement of local officials is too slow, it will give those national thieves a lot of buffer time, telling them to be lazy, inaction, or even sabotage, which is not beautiful.

The local officialdom is like repairing a crumbling table, and the local people are the melons and fruit porcelain on the table. It is necessary to repair the table without damaging the many objects on the table.The four legs should be replaced one by one, so as to protect the melons and fruits on the table from falling to the ground; if all four legs are removed, all the items on the table will fall.If a province with a large output like Jiangnan is hit hard, it will take a few years of recuperation before it can recover.Therefore, things in Jiangnan can only be done step by step.

Under such a background, two magistrates were changed in a row in Yangzhou, and the Yangzhou Tongzhi and his father were of the same family, which shows the determination of the officialdom to thoroughly investigate the salt transportation between the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River.It is an attitude of the court that Uncle Feng has been promoted two ranks to be the co-prefect of Yangzhou. If there are still people who obstruct the thorough investigation of the private salt fraud case and trip up his father, it is against the court. "

Lin Ruhai also said with a smile: "Although Yu'er's words are not bad, some vicious people will still take risks."

Daiyu lowered her eyelashes and said: "It's about life and death, there will be people dying, but since ancient times, those who struggle stubbornly can't affect the overall situation. The so-called general trend, no one can change."

Yes, the outcome has already been decided, no matter how powerful the Zhen family is, it is only a matter of how long it can be delayed, but this time it is impossible to retreat unscathed.Lin Ruhai nodded, and asked again: "Besides that, what else does Yu'er see?"

Daiyu looked up into her father's eyes, she spoke slowly but confidently said: "Once the private salt fraud case is settled, the Holy Majesty will have new arrangements for father. At least he will not stay in Yangzhou, the bigger Maybe they won't stay in Jiangnan."

This point, Lin Ruhai knew well after seeing the new appointment from the imperial court.This dynasty will prevent officials from serving as officials in their original places, and at the same time, it will prevent the same clan from serving as officials in the same place, in order to avoid local officials colluding and harming one party.This time Lin Feng was able to be a co-prefect of Yangzhou because of special circumstances, in order to show an attitude: the imperial court did not hesitate to break some rules in order to rectify the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River.

But once the private salt fraud case is over, the imperial court will definitely not be willing to keep this situation. Naturally, Lin Ruhai and Lin Feng can only stay in Yangzhou.

The salt inspector censor was originally appointed once a year, and Lin Ruhai was able to be re-elected because he was the key figure in the investigation and handling of the salt smuggling case; second, this year is a key year for Jiangnan's official turmoil.But after these two major events were over, it was almost impossible for Lin Ruhai to stay in Jiangnan.

If you don't stay in Jiangnan, you will probably return to Beijing.Although the father and daughter both understood it, but after all, it was too early to make the decree, so they didn't say anything.

The determination of the imperial court is so great, and Lin Ruhai's work is still heavy, but overall, the difficulty and obstacles continue to decrease.

Daiyu can't do much except to manage Zhongfu well and save her father from worrying about the future.

After a period of time like this, Lin Ruhai came back from Luoya on this day, and brought back a very beautiful girl.

When Dai Yu first saw the girl, she was taken aback and almost lost her composure.

The girl was about eleven or twelve years old, with outstanding appearance, especially a little rouge mole between her eyebrows, which made her look even more romantic.Who is Xiangling who is not from the previous life?After reading the original book, Daiyu naturally knew that Xiangling's real name was Yinglian, and she was originally from the Changmen family in Suzhou, and she was also the daughter of a good family, but her fate was embarrassing.

Speaking of which, in the previous life, I and Yinglian could still get along well, and in the last few years in the Grand View Garden, Yinglian asked her to learn poetry, and she was half a teacher with Yinglian, and Yinglian felt more like a companion to herself.But according to the original book, it would take several years for Yinglian to be sold in Jinling, and one daughter and two were sold, which led to Xue Pan beating Feng Yuan to death. How could Yinglian be here?

But after thinking about it for a while, Daiyu understood: in the previous life, the prince did bad things in Iron Net Mountain, and the court didn't bother to rectify the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, so the kidnapper was able to continue to hide and do evil in Jinling.But in this life, the prefect of Jinling was newly replaced last year. He thought that the new prefect of Jinling was vigorous and effective in governing the area, so the kidnapper escaped from Jinling and found another way out.

Although Daiyu's expression changed only for a moment, it also fell into Lin Ruhai's eyes.Lin Ruhai saw complex emotions in her daughter's eyes, including surprise, pity, and some things she couldn't describe.Although Lin Ruhai didn't know why Daiyu had such an expression when she saw this girl, but because of her daughter's attitude, she felt a little sympathy for Yinglian.

He gave Lin Ruhai a blessing, and said that his father had returned.Daiyu asked, "Father, who is this girl?"

Lin Ruhai said: "The magistrate's yamen arrested a kidnapper. This girl said she was the kidnapper's daughter, but she was actually kidnapped. Now that the kidnapper is locked up in the yamen jail awaiting trial, this girl was supposed to be imprisoned too. But Uncle Feng Seeing such a good-looking little girl, even if she was locked up with those female prisoners, she was afraid that she would be bullied and tortured, so she said that she would take her home for a few days, just to be with Yuzhu. I met Uncle Feng when I came back from Luo Ya, Speaking of this, I thought that Uncle Feng and his family also live in the official residence, and Tongzhi's official residence is not as big as ours, so I brought this girl back and live in our house for a few days first."

Not to mention that Daiyu and Yinglian are old acquaintances in previous lives, even when Jia Min saw Yinglian, she said, "It's a pity that such a good-looking child has such a rough life experience. I think this child is fine. If I can find him Her hometown parents sent her home, and if she couldn't find her, it wouldn't be a bad idea to stay with Daiyu as a companion. I just don't know if she would like it?"

Yinglian had suffered enough beatings at the kidnapper's hands, and when she saw the adult who brought her back, she thought that she would end up as a concubine in the future, but even so, as long as she had no worries about food and clothing and was not beaten severely, Yinglian was satisfied.Who knew that after listening to this lady, she actually asked herself to be the company of that extremely beautiful young lady?

How could Yinglian be unwilling, she knelt down on the spot and said, "Thank you Madam for taking me in."

Jia Min hurriedly sent Su Qing to help Yinglian up, and said: "Now the case has not been concluded, and our family still has no control over your affairs, but after the case is closed, if you are willing to stay, it will be easy, and there is no need now. A great gift." He asked Yinglian's hometown.

Yinglian was lost at the age of three, and she doesn't remember much, but it's not like she doesn't remember anything at all.Later generations were betrayed by a women's double, implicated in a life lawsuit, and cast in the Rongguo Mansion, and many people surrounded her and asked questions, Yinglian said that she didn't remember anything.

Looking at Jia Min's kind face in this life, and saying that she would find her hometown relatives for herself, Yinglian said: "My parents call me Yinglian. I was lost when I was a child with a servant to watch lanterns. There is a gourd temple near my home. The others are Can not remember."

Jia Min nodded, and looked sideways at Lin Ruhai: "I seem to have heard of the place name Gourd Temple."

Lin Ruhai also nodded and said, "It sounds familiar, so I'll find out after sending someone to inquire about it."

Seeing that the old lady was willing to visit her hometown for her, Yinglian thanked her in every possible way. Jia Min said it was all right, then turned to Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, first arrange someone to put her in the guest room and see which girl is suitable for her. , take the clothes and wear them, and make two more tomorrow.”

Daiyu took Yinglian out of the room and said, "Miss Yinglian, my name is Daiyu. If you need anything, just tell me. As for your relatives in your hometown, if you have any news, you will definitely be able to find out. "

Yinglian nodded, she was grateful in her heart, but she had nothing to repay, it was another thank you.

Although the Calabash Temple is narrow and not a famous ancient temple, but because a fire burned most of the street, the story of that year has spread far and wide. Yangzhou and Suzhou are only a day or two away, and no one in Yangzhou has heard of it. Less, it is not difficult to inquire.After inquiring about the Calabash Temple, Yinglian's hometown is easy to come by.

On the day of the trial of the kidnapper, Yinglian went to the court to testify as a witness.It turned out that the kidnapper was just as Daiyu expected, he was the new prefect of Jinling with iron blood, and he was very active in cracking down on all kinds of illegal things. Seeing that Jinling couldn't stay longer, the kidnapper wanted to transfer to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou salt merchants are the richest in the world, and they are famous for raising thin horses. The kidnapper was thinking of selling Yinglian to some salt merchants. After earning a fortune, he washed his hands and went ashore for the time being, looking for a place to hide. Besides.Unexpectedly, the rectification of law and order in Yangzhou is also extremely strict. The kidnapper just settled down in the inn, and he didn't know what happened, so he was arrested by the officials the next day.

When the kidnapper was arrested, it was natural that someone reported the crime, and it was none other than the waiter at the inn.The ancients did not have the Sky Eye system of the later generations. They just wanted to rectify the local law and order. The method was much simpler and cruder. The Yangzhou prefect directly sent a notice to the major inns. If true, there is a reward.

Although the kidnapper and Yinglian were called father and daughter, they didn't resemble each other in appearance, and because they were from out of town, Yinglian was particularly afraid of the kidnapper, so the shopkeeper paid attention.With the idea of ​​being careful and making no serious mistakes, he sent Xiao Er to report to the official, but who knows that he caught the real kidnapper?

After the case was concluded, Yinglian regained her freedom.The Lin family decided to be a good person to the end, and sent people to Changmen, Suzhou to inquire about Yinglian's family.Zhen Shiyin has become a monk with the lame Taoist and is nowhere to be found, but Yinglian's mother, Feng Shiyuan, is still alive, but no one has been seen, and she is said to have gone out to find her daughter.

After Yinglian found out, she burst into tears again.

The person Daiyu sent to Changmen was also a careful person. Not only did he inquire about Yinglian's hometown, but he also inquired about Feng's situation, and he didn't say anything in front of Yinglian.It was only when I went back to Jia Min and Daiyu that I said: "At that time, Zhen Fei and his wife were also promoted as local prominent families in Changmen, and they also had a lot of family business. Later, the house caught fire, they took out the property, and they had a farm. It's not that they can't live a good life. It's just that within two years, the family business was coaxed away by Feng's father and brother.

Feng Su's father, Feng Su, was a little better when he was alive. At least Feng's master and servant worked as needlework to subsidize the family, and he still had a mouthful of food.It hasn't been long since Feng Su died at Sui last year, and even another girl beside Feng's has been sold out.I thought that Feng's brother might be even more ruthless.I thought, Miss Zhen is young, if she is suddenly told that her uncle is alive, if she is willing to take refuge with her relatives, we will not be able to stop her.But for a man like Feng's elder brother, Miss Zhen voted for him, and it's hard to guarantee that he won't rely on Miss Yinglian to control Feng's.

I thought about the embarrassing situation of Zhen Fei's family, and I didn't want Miss Zhen to be cheated by her uncle just now, so I just kept the matter secret.I also ask my wife and girl to forgive me for making my own decisions. "

Jia Min listened, nodded and said: "Your handling is very appropriate. Since Feng Shi is still there, you might as well look for Feng Shi for a few more days. I really can't find anyone to make plans." After saying the hard work, let him go down.

The next day, Daiyu ordered the new clothes to be made for Yinglian, and after she put them on, Yinglian looked even more beautiful.

Since then, Yinglian temporarily lived in Lin's house and was not enslaved, but like Daiyu's maidservants, she also served Daiyu's pen and ink while she was studying.It is said that it is to serve the pen and ink, but in fact, it is to learn to read and write. If there is anything that I don't understand, Daiyu will carefully guide a few words.

After several months like this, the concierge replied that a woman had come to find us, saying that she was looking for her lost daughter.

Daiyu ordered someone to bring him in, but she didn't let her see Yinglian, but met her by herself, asked some questions, and confirmed that it was Feng Shi who came, so she let her mother and daughter meet.As for how the mother and daughter cried bitterly after they met, and how they were grateful to the Lin family, there is no need to elaborate.

There is a reason why the Feng family found Yangzhou.

Chen Ruiwu, the magistrate of Yangzhou, also took office not long ago. He also knew that the government of Qi State was in decline.Since he caught the kidnapper, he followed the clues and determined to severely rectify the human trafficking problem under his rule.

Although the kidnapper was active in Jinling on a daily basis, in fact, the kidnappers also exchanged news with each other and confessed many people.With so many kidnappers caught, more parents and family members need to be searched for. At the same time, Chen Ruiwu also released the news, so that the families who lost their children in nearby counties came to Yangzhou government office to recognize their relatives.

The Feng family had been searching for girls for many years, and upon receiving such news, they naturally came here full of expectations. They only saw the rescued girls, but none of them were Yinglian, and the Feng family cried a lot.Later, when he heard that Lord Xunyan Yushi's residence had also taken in a girl, Feng's family tried to find her, and the mother and daughter finally reunited.

On that day, Daiyu temporarily settled Feng's family next to Yinglian's guest room, but the mother and daughter reunited after a long absence and had endless things to say, but that night, the mother and daughter lived together.

The next day, Jia Min invited Feng's mother and daughter over and asked them about their future plans.

Last night, Mrs. Feng asked Yinglian clearly about what happened to Yinglian in these years. She knew how much Yinglian had been beaten by her kidnapper; He did not let Yinglian be enslaved.Ask Feng Shi to say that naturally she would like Yinglian to stay in the Lin family.

But the family of the Lin family is an eunuch with a high position and weight.When Yinglian didn't find her family, she kindly took her in. Now that she has found her by herself, it makes no sense for her to let her stay with Lin's family.When Jia Min asked, Feng hesitated for a while.

It is enough to have this hesitation, at least it proves that Feng Shi is not the one who takes other people's kindness for granted.

So Daiyu said: "Mother, these days, Sister Yinglian and I get along very well, can you keep Sister Yinglian?"

Jia Min had heard from Lin Ruhai a long time ago that when the girl saw Yinglian for the first time, her eyes were different. The husband and wife only thought that Daiyu and Yinglian got along well, so they were happy to keep Yinglian and Daiyu as companions. Is your lady willing?"

When Feng heard this, she pulled Yinglian to kneel and kowtow, expressing her willingness.He also took out a handful of gold leaves and some broken silver, and said: "My old body and property are withered, my wife's great kindness, I can't repay my old body. Now Yinglian has been settled, and my old body has no worries. Only this Things can repay my wife, so please don’t hold her back.”

Back then, when Zhen Shiyin sponsored Jia Yucun, it was 50 taels, which shows that the original family background of the Zhen family was rich.After encountering accidents one after another, the Feng family had left something soft on his body after all, those gold leaves were all sewn into the clothes, and they were taken out overnight.Scattered silver also looks like two or thirty taels.

Seeing this, Jia Min quickly evaded and said: "What are you doing? Put it away and keep you by your side. We keep Yinglian, not for anyone else, but for our Yu'er to get along with her. We don't like you like this. So I can keep her here. I think Yinglian is smart and loves to read, so let's be Daiyu's companion for a while, do you mother and daughter think it's suitable?"

The Feng family was grateful again, and put away the gold and silver.If you are a companion, you will not be enslaved, and the mother and daughter of the Feng family are only short of offering up the Lin family as bodhisattvas.

Feng's family is a woman, and they are getting old and have just found a daughter. Naturally, the Lin family is a good person and will keep Feng's, and will not teach them to separate their flesh and blood.

As for the officialdom, sure enough, after Yangzhou and Jinling changed their prefects, other prefectures also changed their local officials one after another. The original local officials in Jiangnan were either promoted or demoted, and some were deeply involved in the illegal salt case and were convicted.In this case, the imperial court patrol team stayed in Jiangnan for a full year before it was able to establish a new atmosphere in Jiangnan official circles.

After this major rectification of Jiangnan officials, countless officials, big and small, were dismissed, and countless new officials took office.As in the previous life, the imperial court revived a large number of previously dismissed officials, including Jia Yucun.

But this time, Jia Yucun didn't serve Daiyu as a teacher, and naturally he didn't use Lin Ruhai's relationship to climb to Rongguo Mansion.But Jia Yucun has always been talented. After learning the lesson of being deposed last time, he said that Suzhou flattered Fan Guangxi and left Fan Guangxi's relationship. Meizhou, Guangdong Province is the magistrate.The former prefect of Meizhou was transferred to Jiangnan, and he was appointed otherwise.

Zhen Yingjia was dismissed from Jiangning Weaving, and the Zhen family was confiscated. At the same time, the young and old of the Zhen family were escorted back to Beijing for a joint trial by the three divisions.This time, the relevant ministries and institutes all sent competent officials to Jiangnan to handle the case, and the imperial court entrusted the patrol team with great responsibilities, and officials below the second rank could make local rulings.Duzhen Yingjia has a special status. When the inspection team came, Taizong gave instructions that if evidence of crimes against the Zhen family was found, they would be taken to the capital for trial.

On the contrary, several powerful stewards in Zhen Yingjia's house were sentenced to death and executed on the spot.

These confidants were originally in charge of the private salt business for Zhen Yingjia. They used to eat well and drink spicy food, and they wore silk.Now, when the court commits a crime, Zhen Yingjia will push the blame on these people, and he will not say anything about the guilt, but he will cry loudly, sorry for the emperor, and ashamed of the court.He also admits that he is not strict in managing his family, and deceives his subordinates, the Qing Ke and the slaves, so that he makes big mistakes.

It seems to be frank and lenient, but in fact, many scapegoats are introduced to wipe out all the crimes.

Selling illicit salt is a capital offense, and without the protection of local officials, those illicit salt dealers would have no way to move forward.However, a few of Zhen Yingjia's followers, Qing Ke and Hao Nu, would not be able to organize such a large network of smuggling salt.But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhen Yingjia's arguments are untenable, and they all know who Zhen Yingjia is taking advantage of.

However, the Zhen family is very powerful in the south of the Yangtze River. Before Sunanshan served as the salt transport envoy of the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River, private salt dealers in the south of the Yangtze River transported a large amount of private salt on the pipeline. Only the slaves of the Zhen family came out to say hello, and they didn't need Zhen Yingjia's name card. Handwritten, all checkpoints will be released.As a result, there is really no evidence of Zhen Yingjia's involvement in the case.

Perhaps it was for the dignity of Concubine Zhen and the Second Prince that Emperor Taizong did not allow Zhen Yingjia to stand trial in Jinling, otherwise as long as Zhen Yingjia's prison cart passed by, he would be stoned to death by the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, the Second Prince and Concubine Zhen are not so easy to get out of the whole body.Concubine Zhen was deprived of the right to assist the Six Palaces and was demoted to Concubine Zhen; the second prince was relieved of his duties in the household department and thought about his mistakes behind closed doors.Even the Minister of the Household Department was relegated to Xihaiyanzi and became a magistrate because he was implicated in his failure to persuade the second prince.

As for the Jiangnan area, although the case was handled vigorously, a few criminals with strong backgrounds such as Zhen Yingjia survived, but many cases were handled by those who handled the cases, such as Zhen Yingjia's cronies; The local officials and petty officials who made things convenient for the private salt case were all ordered to be executed.In the execution grounds in many places in the south of the Yangtze River, there was a lingering smell of blood during that time.

There are also many officials who were not directly involved in the salt smuggling case, or they only accepted the three festivals and two birthdays and turned a blind eye, or they were afraid of those who dared not challenge the Zhen family, or were dismissed, or They were relegated, but they all left their lives behind.

Daiyu was not surprised when she found out about this.She has read many books in later generations, and she also knows that the lack of talents is one of the major drawbacks of feudal society.Unlike later generations, regardless of gender, almost everyone can read and write, but most people in ancient times were illiterate.Only a few hundred people are admitted for one subject, and one subject is taken every three years. Talents who can be officials are naturally scarce, so many officials are relegated and continue to be employed unless they have committed serious crimes.This is not the only thing that this dynasty has done. There are too many such examples in ancient times.

This made Daiyu sigh again about the benefits of future generations. Everyone has books to read, no matter where they are, as long as they are willing to work hard, there will always be opportunities.Not only the children of the poor can be officials, but women can also do 360 jobs.Naturally, as an ancient aristocratic woman, Daiyu knew very well that the benefits of bringing a person with a network of origin, even the future generations are not absolutely fair, but compared with the present, the future generations have made much progress.

The disposition of the second prince and Concubine Zhen came to Jiangnan a little later. That day, Lin Ruhai reported it to Jia's wife and daughter, and couldn't help but snorted: "The Holy Majesty is too merciful. The three divisions will interrogate, but as long as you enter the capital, you can probably save your life."

Daiyu was very calm after reading the mansion newspaper.Even if the prince in the previous life was involved in the conspiracy, he was only imprisoned.The prince accompanies Jia Jing to the Taoist temple to avoid misfortune, and he can also pass the title to Brother Zhen.Although the title was severely reduced, and the political life of the Ningrong Second Mansion was considered to be over since then, at least when Emperor Taizong was alive, the Jia family could live happily ever after.Even if the father, as the wife and brother of the prince, can still remain as the censor of salt inspection.It can be seen that Emperor Taizong has always dealt with such matters with more than kindness but not decisiveness.This was true for the first line of the prince in the previous life, and it is also the same for the first line of the second prince in this life, otherwise he would not have abdicated as the Supreme Emperor in the end.

However, whether it is the first line of the prince in the previous life or the first line of the second prince in this life, they can only linger on while Emperor Taizong is still alive.After the death of the Supreme Emperor, the four kings and eight princes in the previous life disappeared one after another. Daiyu believes that the same is true for the defeated party in this life.

Now, the position of the East Palace is only temporarily stabilized. Although the Second Prince was defeated, the Ninth Prince was unscathed.Daiyu carefully observed the changes in the Jiangnan officialdom. Many important positions had been replaced, but Fan Guangxi, the Suzhou political candidate, remained in his post safely.The Ninth Prince's method of fishing in troubled waters and trapping the elders really worked.

Jia Min thought of the time when Lin You fell into the water two years ago, but felt resentful. He said: "People like Zhen Yingjia who are greedy and harm the local people should have punished the nine clans long ago, but the Holy One let him go so lightly."

Daiyu's expression did not change, and she said calmly: "As a father, the son has made such a mistake. He always wants to leave a way out for him. Naturally, he also wants to leave a few good people. But as a father A son may be accommodated, but a brother may not be accommodated by a brother."

Daiyu didn't say this clearly, but Lin Ruhai and his wife naturally understood what Daiyu was referring to.He let this matter go for the time being.

A major earthquake in the officialdom caused by the private salt case in the south of the Yangtze River is raging.As Daiyu expected, when the turmoil in the officialdom gradually subsided, Lin Ruhai received a transfer order and was promoted to be the Minister of the Household Department.

Since he was promoted to Minister of the Household Department, most of them have been working in the capital all the time, and there will be few opportunities to return to their hometown in the future, so they pack their luggage and take everything they need to take away. Jia Min's mother and daughter will also be busy for a while.
