[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

In and out, it's either food or salt, three losses are reduced, and omissions are smoothed out in a cover-up manner.

This is no small matter.

Those officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs were all obtained through scientific examinations. They had no clue about these accounts before, but because these accounting methods were different from the common methods used by the government, they were a little ignorant for a while.After learning the tricks from Jiang Ling, they quickly got started one by one, cleaned up all the accounts, replaced them with official ones, and checked them one by one.

Kangxi was not idle these days, he summoned Wang Ziteng in the garden for several days in a row, and listened to his nonsense about the so-called "rich merchants of Yangzhou".Because if you want to be fake, you have to be three parts fake and seven parts true, so that people can really believe it.Therefore, [-]% of Wang Ziteng's words must be true, and there are still tricks in Yangzhou City.

As for the Xue family, Kangxi did not want to touch him until the accounts were clarified.

The time soon came to May [-]th, and it was another holiday in a blink of an eye.The officials of the household department were so busy that they finally sorted out a batch of accounts and submitted them to Kangxi's imperial court.The official salt on the book is indeed missing a lot, but it has been leveled, and it is said that it was leveled with a batch of private salt.As for where the last batch of private salt went, perhaps only they themselves know.

And the ones in Curry are completely used to deceive people.

At that time, the channels of the salt merchants were very stuck. Although the salt farms were making huge profits, they could not be distributed without channels, and could only be carried out in a covert manner.According to the calculations of the household department officials, this transaction was about [-] taels of silver, which can be called a large sum.

And the channel they went through was precisely related to the royal merchant Xue's family.

In other words, they transferred private salt to official salt in the name of the Xue family.

In the past, although this matter was an open secret, it was a secret after all, and it was only circulated privately among a few people; this time if the evidence is really produced, it will be nothing clear.Emperor Kangxi was naturally furious, and immediately issued an order to summon the Ministry of Internal Affairs to remove the Xue family from the imperial business.From the officials to the merchants in Jinling City, most of them were worried, fearing that one day they would be found out and their wealth and lives would be lost.

Before the decree came out of Jinling City, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who checked the files overnight found that the previous case was wrong.

Starting from the case in Jia Yucun, and going forward for 20 years, almost every year, one or two cases were misjudged.Although the annual amount is not much, the accumulated amount in 20 years is quite astonishing.This is only to investigate the cases related to the Xue family, and the cases that have nothing to do with the Xue family are even more unknown, even the local officials in charge of prisons can't stand it.

But so what?Emperor Kangxi has only been here for half a month, and they will stay in Jinling City for the rest of their lives, or even the rest of their lives. Whoever dares to be the first to offend the Xue family can only hesitate and wait for the Beijing officials to do something.

The actions of the Beijing officials were really fast.

On the nineteenth day of the month, the day before the holiday, the officials drew up a decree. Not only did the Xue family's status as an imperial merchant be stripped away, but all rights were taken back, and even the idle positions that were previously rewarded were also removed. and take it back.As for Jia Yucun, who was transferred not long ago, he accidentally ran into the pen of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The class exams back then were all inferior. Compared with previous years, it was heaven and earth.

Wang Ziteng and Wang Zisheng wanted to recruit people several times, but because Emperor Kangxi was in Jinling, they didn't dare to make big moves.

When the holiday was over and the matter of the Xue family was finalized, Wang Ziteng was no longer able to turn the world upside down.

Afterwards, Emperor Kangxi stopped talking, left Zhang Ying and others in Jinling City, and continued to deal with the aftermath. He took a few officials of the household department, as well as his retinue and personal followers, all the way to Yangzhou City.A close minister once asked Kangxi why he left in such a hurry. Kangxi sneered and said: "If you stay a few more days, the pleading papers will be sent to Jinling like snowflakes, and none of them will be left behind. .”

Obviously suffered from it, or knew something in advance.

On the second day after Emperor Luanjia left for Yangzhou, an unexpected person came to Jinling: Jia Lian.

It is said that Jia Lian came back to worship the ancestors instead of his father.He had a false title in the capital, and usually had nothing to do. After receiving Wang Ziteng's urgent request, he went to the south of the Yangtze River himself, wanting to find out what was going on in Jinling.

After all, Jinling is the hometown of Jia's family, so if there is any disturbance, they will live a restless life in the capital.

At the same time, Jiang Ling also received a letter from Lin Daiyu, saying that the garden has become a mess, and the few maids who were still in the garden have started to fend for themselves.She herself was not affected because she lived in a house outside and had a June wedding date with King Jing of Beijing.But a few days ago, when Xueyan went back to the garden to get things, she found that something was wrong with Mrs. Wang.

Before Lin Daiyu moved out of the garden last month, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jia were already preparing for their marriage, and they were married to the Xue family. After Lin Daiyu moved out of the Grand View Garden and set a date for her wedding with the King of Beijing, Aunt Xue immediately went to talk to Mrs. Wang. Let's talk, I hope things will be done sooner.Although Jia Baoyu was dissatisfied, he hesitated for a while, and then stopped making trouble.

Mrs. Wang was devastated because of Jia Baoyu's non-cooperation, but the matter was settled in the end.

On April 29 Lin Daiyu moved out of the garden, on May [-]st she wrote her last letter to Jiang Ling, on May [-]th Aunt Xue went to discuss with Mrs. Wang, on May [-]th a wedding date was planned, and on May [-]th Xue Baochai came over.This letter from Lin Daiyu was sent out on May [-]th, when Xue Baochai was not yet married, but the Rongguo Mansion was already decorated with lanterns and festoons and was preparing for the wedding.Lin Daiyu said in the letter that although the Rongguo Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, Mrs. Wang did not smile, and her expression was gloomy.Jia Mu's expression was also a little wrong.There is only one Jia Huan, who is still as energetic as before, and it seems that everything has nothing to do with him.The most puzzling thing is that before Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai's wedding, Jia Lian suddenly left Beijing for unknown reasons, saying that he was going back to Jinling to worship his ancestors.

In that letter, only a few numbers mentioned herself, but most of them were preparing for the wedding, and the rest will not be discussed further.

Jiang Ling guessed that King Jingjing had encountered a difficult situation, otherwise the wedding would not have been delayed until June.But now that she is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, even if she wants to give them advice and make Lin Daiyu not be so troubled, there is nothing she can do.

It took Jiang Ling two full days to read this letter, and another two days to write and reply.Her carriage was completely separate from the emperor's carriage and was rarely disturbed during the day.After sending the reply letter, Jiang Ling heard that Jia Lian paid homage to his ancestors in Jinling City with great fanfare, and also took the opportunity to visit many elders in Jinling City, such as Wang Ziteng and Wang Zisheng.

Jiang Ling vaguely guessed something.

But these things should be worrying about Emperor Kangxi.

Jiang Ling still abides by the principle of prudence in words and deeds, and he can talk as little as possible on weekdays. Except for occasionally "unconsciously" revealing some things, he doesn't say much.But in the past few days, she really knew how desperate Emperor Kangxi would be when he was busy. He only slept for two or three hours a day. If he were not young and in good health, he would have been unable to bear it.

This kind of state of continuous rotation of day and night did not gradually improve until the city of Yangzhou.

The Xue family's decree had already reached the capital, and Lin Daiyu's third letter had also been delivered to Jiang Ling.Since Xue's family was stripped of their status as an imperial merchant, Xue Baochai's situation in Rongguo Mansion has become more delicate.It turned out that Mrs. Wang valued Xue Baochai, half because of her temperament and ability, and the other half because of the Xue family behind her; now that the Xue family has fallen, Xue Pan's case has been uncovered, and Xue Baochai may be convicted. Half of his net worth fell with a crash.If it weren't for Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang being direct sisters, and Mrs. Wang still caring about their past friendship, now Xue Baochai wouldn't even have the right to head the family.

——Yes, the person in charge now is Xue Baochai.

Wang Xifeng hurt her body because of a slipped tire, and had a quarrel about Second Sister You, and she is still recovering from her illness.

Xue Baochai is indeed capable, and because of her literacy, she can see current events more clearly than Wang Xifeng in the past, and she is more comfortable in doing things.Coupled with the assistance of Tanchun and Li Wan, the Rongguo Mansion stood up halfway.Although Mrs. Wang spoke slightly to her, she still maintained her superficial calm and did not embarrass her too much.

And Lin Daiyu herself is really ready to get married.

After Jiang Ling folded the letter paper, he let out a long sigh.

From the capital all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, more things happened in this month than in the previous two or three years.The case of the Xue family was uncovered, and the identity of the imperial merchant was deprived. The days of the past, which were full of flowers and flowers, naturally fell into ruin all at once.Kangxi's anger is not just for fun, but I don't know how long it will take for this big drama to end.

After all, Mrs. Wang...

Ah.

Jiang Ling smiled, but the smile was cold.

She picked up a pen and wrote a reply to Lin Daiyu, saying as usual that everything was fine here, but she had already left Jinling and came to Yangzhou.It seems that Emperor Kangxi came to Yangzhou City for something, and he was so busy every day... She paused, crumpled the letter paper, threw it into a ball into the brazier, and looked at the flames that suddenly sprang up , panicked for no reason.

At this time last year, Lin Daiyu also mentioned Prince Jing in her letter, which filled three pages.

Jiang Ling held the pen and thought for a long time, finally slowly spread out the letter paper, and told Lin Daiyu again that everything is fine here, and hoped that Lin Daiyu would live peacefully in the capital, but seeing what Emperor Kangxi wanted... Her pen After another pause, he crumpled the letter paper and threw it into the brazier, spread out a third piece of paper, and began to write a reply.

I don't know if it's because I'm avoiding it, or because I want to cover it up.

In that reply, Jiang Ling chose every word carefully, and never mentioned Emperor Kangxi, but only briefly wrote about his own situation, and asked how Lin Daiyu was doing well in Beijing.Regardless of what happened in Rongguo Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, or Xue's family, don't get involved for now.If you come across any of the masters of the Jia family, no matter which one you are, you should stay far away and don't touch your hands...

When Jiang Ling wrote this, she suddenly thought of Jia Yingchun's future marriage, and couldn't help sighing again.

It's better to jump out of that fire pit earlier...Jiang Ling finished writing the letter slowly, sealed it and sent it back.As soon as the letter was sent away, a maid came in outside and said, "My lord, Long Live Lord, please go to the front."

But the maid didn't say what Kangxi was looking for her.

Jiang Ling said: "I see." Then he adjusted his appearance.Generally, Kangxi would not look for her for no reason, and now she is mostly because of some weird things, such as the Orthodox law code last time.Jiang Ling tidied up her appearance and followed the maid to the outside, only to find that besides Kangxi and Chief Manager Liang, there was also a middle-aged man who looked familiar.

Taking a closer look, it is more than familiar, it is unforgettable.

"Come and see you, Ama." Kangxi said to her, "It just so happened that you, Ama, had something to report to me, and you hurried to Yangzhou hundreds of miles away. It must be a year since you two saw each other, so take advantage of this opportunity , have a good talk. Liang Jiugong, go out with me."

Manager Liang let out a hey, and trotted out with Kangxi in a hurry.

Jiang Ling stayed with that lord for quite a while before he heard the lord laugh and say: "Sit down. Just now, Long Live Lord was wrong. It's not that I haven't seen you for a year, it must be a year and a half since I haven't seen you. In the palace How are you doing here?" The tone was extremely familiar, and he deliberately avoided some topics.

Jiang Ling was stunned for a long time before slowly saying: "It should, it should be good."

Living in the palace, under the constant care of Emperor Kangxi, indeed - there is nothing wrong with it.

Except for the initial period of time, I often feel a little uneasy.
