Jia Min's Counterattack

After Lin Ruhai moved, he took a two-day rest before going to Yingtian Mansion to take up his post. Hua Chong, as Lin Ruhai's master, was still arranged to live in the backyard of the mansion.In the few days before Lin Ruhai officially took office, Hua Chong got acquainted with the people in the government office, and got a general understanding of who was the man and who was the ghost in the government office.

The first thing Lin Ruhai did after taking office was to seal up all the ledgers, and ordered someone to guard the room where the ledgers were sealed.Then he summoned officials from various states and arranged for them to start reclaiming unowned wasteland according to the method he practiced in Suzhou. He planned to take advantage of the time before spring to reclaim part of the unowned land, so that Ying Tianfu could use it in summer and autumn this year. increase income.

"Hua Chong, who do you think are available in this Yingtian government office?" Lin Ruhai asked Hua Chong.

"According to my subordinates, there is no one who can be used. Either they are incompetent, or they rely on connections to get benefits, and they are all Zhen Yingjia's lackeys."

"We will have a hard time in the future! I plan to transfer Xu Tongsan from Suzhou here, and hand over Xing Ming to him in the future. Although this Xu Tongsan has flaws, but fortunately, he is still in the right mind. He is a responsible person, he was born in a poor family, and he has no backing and support in the court, so it is not easy to be a general judge of the fifth rank by his own ability."

"The subordinates also feel that the master should promote some of his own people. Although this Xu Tongpan has a lot of care and thoughtfulness, the errands he is responsible for have always been done properly. The master is kind to him, and he has his handle in his hands. , I think he is a useful person!"

"I'll take the paper now and ask Xu Tongpan to take office as soon as possible!"

"Master, now that there is someone in charge of the criminal inscription, who should I give the money to?"

"Just leave it to Tongzhi Xiao today! Didn't you see how he reacted to my order to seal up the ledger?"

"He seemed to know that the master would seal up the ledgers early in the morning. The ledgers are all sorted out, and he just needs to move to the room where the ledgers are sealed. Master suspects that Tongzhi Xiao may be in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han?"

"He is smart! Knowing that I will start with the account book to clean up the moths in the yamen, so I saved the account book early in the morning, so that no one who cares about it will destroy it! As for whether he is a man or a ghost, we have to look again, but I can be sure that this person is not as simple as he appears on the surface! He deliberately hides his intelligence, which is also to protect himself and his family. It depends on whether he is really smart, if he is really smart..."

"Master, is he going to wait for Xiao Tongzhi to take the initiative to surrender?"

"Well! He took the first step. I will return him a favor and let him continue to sit firmly in the seat of a fellow acquaintance. The next thing is to see if he really has a hole in his chest, or just to save his own life!"

Lin Ruhai's move to seal up the ledger made officials of all sizes in the yamen panic, not knowing what Lin Ruhai was planning.If you really want to check the accounts of previous years, Xiang Yunting, the "at large" former magistrate, is not afraid, but they will all be implicated.These years, Xiang Yunting is Zhen Yingjia's loyal loyalist, and Zhen Yingjia also values ​​him very much. No one in Yingtian's government office dares to disobey Xiang Yunting. Hands and feet, so what is recorded in the ledger is the most authentic financial situation of Xiang Yunting during his tenure.And Xiao Tongzhi, who was in charge of money and grain, didn't seem to care much about the ledgers, and never reminded Xiang Yunting that he needed to handle these ledgers carefully.

At this time, the person who is most afraid of Lin Ruhai's checking accounts will take the initiative to jump out, so Lin Ruhai can find out those who have problems without wasting time checking accounts. As long as the person who is most guilty is dealt with, other small fish and shrimp It will also be deterred by this, Lin Ruhai intends to let it go, if it is true, there will be no one to work in the entire Yingtian Mansion, and everyone will be sent to prison.When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Lin Ruhai knows that he should not be too serious in the officialdom. As long as it is not a big mistake, he is still willing to turn a blind eye.Offending everyone like in the previous life will only make enemies for himself, and finally reached the point of being alone and helpless, Lin Ruhai will not make the same mistake again.

Now Wang Tongpan, who is in charge of Xingming in Yingtianfu Yamen, is related to Xiang Yunting by marriage. He is a branch of the Wang family in Wuyi Lane, and his sister's eldest son married Xiang Yunting's own niece.Wang Tongpan was born in Juren, and the seat of Tongpan was donated with money. He knew that he could only stop at the fifth rank in his life, and it would be impossible to climb up, so he hugged the project tightly. Yunting's thigh.It can be said that in the entire Yamen of Yingtian Mansion, Wang Tongpan is the one who listens to Xiang Yunting the most, he almost obeys orders, and Xiang Yunting entrusts Wang Tongpan to do many things.After Xiang Yunting was arrested, Wang Tongpan was afraid of being implicated, so he hid at home sick. Later, it was reported that Xiang Yunting was robbed and escaped by bandits, and his family members were beheaded. Wang Tongpan only "recovered" "Shangya.

After Lin Ruhai came to Ren Yingtian's mansion, he also wanted to curry favor with Lin Ruhai as before, but before he took action, Lin Ruhai ordered the account books to be sealed on the first day of his tenure.After Wang Tongpan found out, his legs went limp from fright, and he wanted to go to Lin Ruhai to find out what he was thinking, but he was afraid that Lin Ruhai would see the clue.Unable to rest day and night, Wang Tongpan thought hard for several days, and finally came up with a plan.

On this day, Wang Tongpan stayed in the yamen to work in the name of sorting out the files, and he left very late.In the middle of the night, the yamen suddenly caught fire. Although it was extinguished by the yamen servants on duty, several houses were also burned down, including the room where the ledger was sealed.

Wang Tongpan was still having fun at home, the yamen servant knocked on the door of his house, locked him without saying a word and took him to the yamen.

It turned out that Wang Tongpan sprinkled tung oil on the windows of the room where the ledger was sealed, and lit an incense stick on the window. Master Hua saw it, and the yamen servant also found traces of tung oil in the room where he worked.Now that there were all the witnesses and material evidence, Wang Tongpan wanted to quibble, but Lin Ruhai whispered something in his ear, which made Wang Tongpan faint.

Wang Tong was sentenced to ten years in prison. He couldn't stand the hard life in prison, and fell ill within a few days. He was short of medical care and medicine in prison. Wang Tong survived the sentence for two days but still couldn't make it through!This is something to say, no more mention!

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min didn't care so much about Wang Tongsan's affairs, because King Yan sent a message that their ship would arrive at Jinling Wharf before noon tomorrow.Jia Min is personally leading someone to tidy up the yard for his second son, and is arranging a carriage to meet his son tomorrow!
