[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

Tian Ruien was born in poverty, but because his parents sent him to study, he barely escaped from the life facing the loess.He was also considered smart since he was a child, knew how to study, and was conscientious and diligent every time until he became a scholar.He was the first scholar in the small place where he was born.

Therefore, Tian Ruien became a little complacent.It wasn't until he took part in the provincial examination that he realized that his little talent was just a small fish among the many talents, and he couldn't make much of a splash.He also has some talent in reciting, he can recite the stories in the book casually, and can explain the meaning of them.But if he was asked to express his thoughts and opinions, he could not express anything.To put it simply, Tian Ruien is a nerd.

It is also because of his good memory of the content of the book that he has never forgotten the content of the book.

He barely passed the provincial examination, but he no longer had the confidence to take part in the subsequent general examination.

Fortunately, before that, he was favored by Mr. Li and became Mr. Li's son-in-law.

Among them, his mother and the fortune teller she found somewhere tried to disrupt the situation, but of course he ignored it.

And at the wedding banquet, what he learned made him regret more than once why he accepted this marriage.

Master Li is indeed looking for a son-in-law, but at the same time he is also looking for a scapegoat who can help him with affairs and can be discarded at any time!

The night before the wedding banquet, he was brought to the living room by Mr. Li and talked to him about many things.

Mr. Li is the inspector of the salt censor, and at the same time he is also a big salt lord.

He smuggled away part of the official salt, regarded it as his own, and then resold it.This is nothing short of a glove business, gaining money at the expense of the treasury.

Because the operation of official salt has always been risky, losing one or two bags of salt is not a problem, so it has not been discovered.

Since ancient times, the government and businessmen have colluded, and what they have done is nothing more than turning a blind eye to the production and sale of private salt.

But this Mr. Li acted as a salt lord himself, stealing official salt and selling it as private salt.

This matter was done silently, but I couldn't bear the recent appointment of a new salt inspection censor.

The official salt of the Qing Dynasty was produced in several saltworks and then distributed to various places. One of the salt-producing areas was near the Huaihe River.The new censor of salt inspection found that the amount of salt produced there was completely inconsistent with the amount of salt sent, and the amount disappeared every year was very similar.But the area where the salt disappeared was not under his control, so Lin Ruhai, the inspector who had just taken office, sent a letter to Kangxi, explaining the matter one by one.

Every year, a small part of the official salt was lost. Kangxi didn't particularly care about this matter, but he couldn't ignore it completely, so he handed it over to Shisan for him to find out.

Not long after this incident broke out, Li Jiayu decided to find a son-in-law for his daughter, who was always unable to marry, from a poor family background.

Tian Rui'en understood what he was thinking about.

This time it was really on a thief ship.

At that time, Li Jiayu wanted him to do something, but he was vague about it.On the day of the wedding banquet on the second day, the housekeeper of the Li family even dragged him to the pool, warning him that if he didn't do it again, he would turn the matter into nothing.

In fear, he agreed to help them transport the smuggled official salt, and cooperated with other salt lords to sell the salt.

On the wedding night, he was so terrified that he didn't even see what the bride looked like!

The next day, I went to say goodbye to my parents and went to Chang County, where the official salt was buried.

Seeing his flustered appearance, his father felt what had happened, and kept asking him. He had no choice but to explain the matter to his parents.

His father, the rough man, was silent for a long time, and finally decided to go with him.

After they saw the official salt in that warehouse, his father's hands were so trembling that he couldn't even hold the cigarette pouch. If so much official salt was found, Mr. Li might be fine.And his son was afraid that he would be killed alive.

Because of this, this daring father secretly took away the key to the warehouse, and when a strange young man in Chinese clothes spoke to him, he handed it over in a flash of his brain, and all he was afraid of was saying: "Bao, Bao! My son, we don't know anything."

Yinxiang glanced at the warehouse key in his hand, and then at the sack with the official salt logo printed in the warehouse, his only reaction was silence.

Is it really accurate?Or is it a coincidence?

Follow the clues, although only a small part is known from Tian Ruien's mouth, it is enough.Yinxiang packed the official salt, took Tian Ruien and his son away, and then went back home.

Mr. Li may never think of it, because Wang Ren's hexagram made Yinxiang move too fast, so fast that he had no time to react.

If Yinxiang was a few steps slower, Mr. Li would still have a chance to make more arrangements, and if he beat Tian Ruien well, everything would be in order.

It's a pity that Yinxiang's resolute action made him lose the opportunity. When he knew that the privately hidden official salt was found and Tian Ruien was imprisoned, Yinxiang had already handed over all the pictures he knew and Tian Ruien's confession. Gave it to Kangxi.

Before he could make amends, an imperial decree from Kangxi came down, and this second-rank official, who had just held a wedding banquet for his little girl, went to the prison to squat and eat.

Ever since Obai was killed, Kangxi had taken over the power all by himself, and no one even dared to write a letter to plead for mercy after this second-rank official was imprisoned. Everyone was waiting for the emperor's attitude.

And these have nothing to do with Yinxiang, he was praised by Kangxi for completing the task, and then continued to study in the study.What kind of turmoil will be caused in the court is a problem that the emperor should care about and solve.

But this matter has affected Wang Ren.

Because the imperial decree to imprison Li Jiayu did not mention the issue of official salt, but made several random charges and threw him in.

It was precisely because of this random charge that Wang Ziteng was very disturbed.

It is not a trivial matter for a second-rank official to get off his horse, and he hadn't heard any news before that.

He obviously went to the Li family's wedding banquet just a few days ago, which made Wang Ziteng a little suspicious, thinking that something was going to happen.He even called Wang Ren in front of him and reprimanded him heavily, then extended the days of confinement for five days, repeatedly asked him not to cause trouble, and then walked away.

Wang Ren, who was scolded for no reason and had his confinement extended: I'll go!

He knew very well the reason why Li Jiayu was pulled down.Kangxi is not a person who tolerates others taking money out of his own pocket. Wouldn't it be strange not to send him to prison!I didn't explain the reason for going to prison, but I just wanted to see the reaction of you high-ranking officials!Fish should take advantage of the chaos to touch them, right? !

Also, the thirteenth master must have been so smooth because of his hexagrams!But it took only two days to return victorious.Now that I’m back, I don’t know how to thank me!

You still owe me three taels of silver, do you want to pay it back?Made it!

Siye!Remember to remind your thirteenth brother that there is still someone waiting for the answer!And silver!

He completely forgot that Wang Ren, who had forced fourth master to use a golden cicada to escape his shell because of the three taels of silver, beat the ground in grief and indignation.
