By Jia Xiuzhen

It only took two days for Lin Ruhai to beat someone from death to life, which is a good thing, but there are also many troubles.

In the study, Mo Yansong fanned his big cattail fan: "Brother Ruhai, I don't need to say this. It's a dead end now. If we continue like this, maybe it will be a disaster next time. It was really Shura at that time." Daxian has nothing to do."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "The only plan for now is to put everyone to death and survive." Although there is an elixir, the overall situation will not be broken, and the knot of fate will not be changed. It is still a fate that has to die.

Standing in front of the window, Lin Ruhai felt the slight cold and light tide from the south of the Yangtze River, but she didn't feel warm at all. She lowered her eyes and said slowly, "Through the ages, the only way to die is to die. You have to change something."

Mo Yansong also thought of the side, and asked him: "How does Brother Ruhai feel about the overnight life and death?"

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly and said: "It's still a dead end, it's too early to say I'm alive, but they just failed to kill me with one method, who knows what will happen later."

Mo Yansong nodded and said: "There is really no one at the other end. Qian donkeys are so poor that they resort to such low-handed methods, and get rid of whoever blocks the road. This is suitable for occupying the mountain and becoming king. Now, the most urgent thing is to get rid of the road." It’s better to hide your recovery.” Looking at his face again, he said: “There are medicines to take to make your body weak, and you have to dress up to disguise yourself. I’m not smart, but I can find someone , which one will you choose, Brother Ruhai?"

Just as she was about to speak, Daiyu came outside with Mo Geer and Guiliu. After seeing the two of them, Daiyu said, "Just now, Madam Xin has asked someone to tell the people from Beijing. It is said that Daddy is seriously ill now." I'm afraid that it will be difficult to get away from each other for a while, so I have arranged another guest house at home to accommodate the accompanying people. When talking about this just now, Gui Liu said that she had learned the art of disguise, so I can guarantee that she will not be seen through, I think If you want daddy or need it, just come and ask."

Mo Yansong smiled and said, "My niece is so thoughtful." Then he asked, "Who are the people who know for sure that Brother Ruhai has recovered from his illness?"

Mo Ge'er replied from the side: "That day when the girl brought out the medicine, Nanny Xin and Guiliu dismissed everyone around her. The little girls around me only knew that the girl had found medicine for the master to take, and they didn't know anything about it. On the master's side, only Uncle Qi and Uncle Qin, who were serving closely, knew about it. Mr. Doctor."

Mo Yansong nodded and said, "At first no one came forward in the inner house, but we were negligent. Luckily, Mother Xin is vigilant."

Daiyu naturally understood the meaning, it was a test, but she didn't know it was true, so she asked Lin Ruhai: "Daddy? Why did you hide the news that Daddy has recovered?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "This is a matter of the court, it is trivial to talk about, I will talk to you later when I have time. By the way, you said there is a girl who is easy-to-face, but this is it?"

Daiyu took Guiliu's hand and said, "This is the person my sister-in-law sent me before I came back. Even though she is young, she can do some kung fu. My sister-in-law is always capable." A lot, she said she knows how to disguise herself, so I guess it's not bad."

Lin Ruhai nodded, and remembered that this disguise technique was always used when meeting outsiders, and it was necessary to arrange it once in a while, and it was inconvenient to always bother a little girl.

Guiliu saw the meaning, stepped forward respectfully and replied: "My lord, the disguise technique learned by this servant is more like an illusion technique. Once performed, it can be used for more than a month or even a year. If it is convenient for the lord, why don't you give it a try."

Lin Ruhai was also surprised when he heard this: "Oh? What else is there? How are you going to do it?"

Gui Liu had to borrow some unnecessary bottles and cans, and let Lin Ruhai drink a spoonful of "Hua Xing San" mixed with several medicinal powders, but it was actually just a formula and a spell.After a while, Lin Ruhai looked haggard and sick.

Mo Yansong also exclaimed: "It's like a miracle!"

Daiyu couldn't help being worried, and asked, "Father, what's wrong?"

Lin Ruhai looked at the bronze mirror, laughed and said, "If it wasn't for the mirror, I wouldn't believe it. My actions are the same as before, and I don't feel weak at all."

It's just that what he said made other people feel out of breath and very tired, and that relaxed smile also revealed a bitterness of dying.

Seeing that Daiyu's eyes were red, Guiliu smiled wryly and said, "Girl, this medicine powder only changes the shape of a person, but it's actually designed to trick you and me. If a virtuous and sage with real cultivation sees it, he won't be deceived by it, and only coaxes you to see it." Just coaxing everyone."

Daiyu nodded and said, "I believe you, but seeing Daddy like this makes me feel uncomfortable."

Guiliu looked at Daiyu again, but said: "Young lady and I also made some changes. Parents' illness or death should be reflected in human appearance. The young lady is now like this, so people who are proficient in physiognomy may feel suspicious."

Without waiting for others to respond, he wiped Daiyu's face twice, put down his hands, and saw Daiyu's brows frowning slightly, the corners of the sun and the moon were slightly dark, obviously she was still a talented person, but she was a bit more miserable Mutually.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "This girl is a good trick. I just want to wrong Yu'er to accompany my father in this unlucky drama."

Daiyu smiled lightly and said: "When someone else has something wrong, they should prepare something to rush. If such a play can be auspicious, it doesn't matter to play a few more places." After talking, the father and daughter looked at each other. And laugh.

Mo Yansong only saw the sad scene of a half-old man who is about to die soon and a frail girl with a miserable face making fun of it. It really made the listener cry when he heard it, but he followed it unconsciously. play.

Lin Ruhai and Mo Yansong still had big plans to decide, so Daiyu sat with her father for a while and then went back to the backyard.

Besides Jia Lian, ever since she got the news that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang didn't talk to each other, even Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen, and talked to him more than once.

Once Lin Ruhai has a good or bad relationship, the Lin family will become an extinct family, and the fortunes of several generations of Marquis Houses will all fall on Daiyu, an orphan girl.The Lin family has no one close to them, and the Jia family is Lin Daiyu's closest relatives, so naturally they will return to Jia's mansion after taking care of the funeral.The Lin family doesn't say far away, how much money is it just for the five generations?Not to mention that the mistresses of the past generations were either princesses or prostitutes. The dowry that was brought in just a few times was a huge amount, especially since his family had passed on a single pass for several generations and had no daughters. .

There are also several important positions in the salt department of Lin Ruhai. In three years, the magistrate paid back [-] snowflakes of silver, not to mention the fat shortage of salt and iron?Who doesn't know about such a huge amount of wealth, but it's just because he doesn't want to make a public face, and he, a pawn, is the only one who charges into the battle, but it's Kai who can eat enough oil for three years.

I was illuminated by such dreams of windfall every day, and I couldn't even feel the darkness at night. I couldn't care about the uncle's illness, how my cousin was young, and so on.But it's no wonder that he consulted with the elders, and nine out of ten of them were insinuating about how the Lin family's property should be settled.

It's just that this matter is not the same as what he thought at the beginning. When he first came, he lived in the Yanzheng Yamen for two days, and then he was invited to live in the Lin family's house in Yangzhou.Lin Ruhai was recuperating in the Yanzheng Yamen, so naturally he couldn't see each other.

After a while, Lin Ruhai was also carried into the Lin Mansion in a big warm sedan chair, but he was still not invited to meet, and even Daiyu never showed her face.Find someone to inquire, and there is always news that the disease is getting worse.

Thinking about Lin Ruhai's serious illness, and Lin Daiyu's daughter's family who is not easy to come forward to be a director, the Lin family can't find someone to head the house, isn't he the best candidate?Unexpectedly, the Lin family is different from the Jia family, with a simple population, the main master and son are no more than two fathers and daughters, and the few concubines have no voice at all, and each of them lives in peace.

There are old rules for daily affairs, and the housekeeper is used to it, so how can anyone else be needed?Afterwards, the head of the capital, Rong, came back to accompany Daiyu, thinking of the renovation of the Lin family's middle house in Beijing, he became more and more frustrated.

After thinking about it, I simply let go. Anyway, I can only hand it over to Daiyu and Lin's family, so what's the rush!After thinking about it, I realized that the land where "I wear a hundred thousand guan and ride down to Yangzhou on a crane" is really the land of mortal Bodhisattvas, the happy forest in the city, and there are many people who buy it under the name of Rongguo Mansion, and gradually they don't want to think about leaving.

The undercurrent in the south of the Yangtze River also impacted the hearts of the people in the capital, "What's going on in the south now?" There were two people sitting opposite each other on the couch, and the one on the east seat asked casually while turning the jade wrench in his hand.

Another said: "'Hundred Days Return' is well-deserved. Lin Ruhai has moved from the government office to his home to recuperate a few days ago. I'm afraid he has noticed something. Now he doesn't even get food and water. A confidant old man. It's smarter than I thought."

Dong Zuo smiled and said: "Hey, the scholar is so angry that his head is muddled, but he is still smart? He who knows the current affairs is a hero. He still wants to trip us up at this time, and he is not looking for death."

He took a pinch of snuff and smoked, then smiled as if thinking of something: "Besides, based on how he thinks, he can think that it is a fault in the official uniform? The clothes beside him are nothing. Who knows which one he likes to wear, but this official uniform is I can't run away. Those of the Zhen family are really smart people."

The other one also smiled happily: "In a few days, when those ships come out of Deqingkou, the job will be over. Can't he make money? Look at the men, don't use the abacus, just stab him If there is a hole, money will flow into it. Let him know tomorrow, and the caretaker will be so angry! Oh, thinking about it, I feel a little lighter."

The person on the east seat also said: "How capable can a lowly person come from? I think the old man has regretted it a lot now. Who relies on business to make a fortune? Farming is the foundation, and business is cheap. I don't understand this point. It's really nice to be looking for money all day long. It really is a lowly person doing a lowly business."

The other persuaded with a smile: "Hey, what you said is not right. If it weren't for our buddy's good means, we wouldn't be able to force him to this point, right?"

In a small courtyard across a few alleys, Dai Yiming, the minister of official affairs, had been sitting in his study for a long time.When it was getting late, he called the butler to prepare the sedan chair, but he went straight to the palace.After handing over the sign, he tightened his sleeves, thinking that the things on his chest seemed to be scalding with a soldering iron.

He was in the same year as Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai was the Yumian Tanhualang that year. Although he was not as good as him, he was also from the top two rankings.He is also about the same age as Lin Ruhai. If Lin Ruhai hadn't been too amazing and talented, a young talent like him should be praised.

It's all in the past when he was a teenager. Afterwards, Lin Ruhai went from Imperial Academy to Lantai Temple, and then to Xunyan Yushi.And I walked to the position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials step by step in Beijing. Others didn't know that if I hadn't always been cautious and kept everything in check, I wouldn't be able to take this position under the situation of two or even three struggles.

However, you can't always act like this. Xuzi is the most comforting side when several parties are evenly matched. Only once the power changes, if this Xuzi can't change the right direction, it will be the real son of which side. Became everyone's outcast.

Although there is no gunpowder smoke in the court hall, they are actually walking at every step. Why are you dancing in Linyuan?But he didn't expect that Lin Ruhai and Xiaolin Tanhua, who had never had much contact in private, would send him such a letter at this time, and it was time to change his identity.

Just as his thoughts were wandering, a small eunuch came in and said loudly: "Dai Yiming sees you!" He hurriedly collected his mind, cleaned up his demeanor, and walked out.

King Xin was about to go to the house of his concubine, Bailan, when reports came that the sage was calling him urgently, he sighed and went back to the main room to change his clothes, and he had no time to take the car, so he had to lead the horse.

Even the little eunuch who served tea on weekdays in Nanshu's landlord Nuange was kicked out, a large stack of paper books was thrown in front of King Xin, and a voice like ice shards on his head could be heard: "Look!"

King Xin hurriedly picked it up in his hand and looked it up, then stood up and wiped his sweat and said, "Brother Huang, I frightened my younger brother, so I thought it was my younger brother who committed something and was stabbed." The emperor is here!"

The emperor laughed and said, "You still think you were a child!"

In a blink of an eye, I was angry again, "This group of beasts are inferior! Look, what have they done! The officials sell private salt, the salt is distributed, and they even collect taxes privately. Jiangnan has become a country within a country! Those old people Guys, when I’m in front of you, you’re all playing tricks and being obedient, but behind your back, you’re making a few bets, for fear that you’ll miss out on the opportunity and miss out on the success of the dragon!”

Xin Wang hastily flipped through the things in his hands, but it was the Jiangnan official circles colluding to deceive the upper and lower. It is indeed an exaggeration to say that it is a country within a country.There are also a few old aristocratic families who have contacts with the royal family in Beijing and even the official positions they bought and sold. The most frightening thing is that most of them are unknown to the two of them. It should also be a model of "attachment".I don't know how this group of people laughed out loud behind their backs.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Brother Huang, where did it come from this time?" This whole stack almost uncovered the collusion of forces in Jiangnan, both overt and secret, as well as the rules of conduct, which seemed unusual.The emperor frowned and said: "It was Dai Yiming who submitted it, but Lin Ruhai sent it to him. There was even a letter from Lin Ruhai to him. The letter contained a very important matter, and I was afraid that it would not be presented to the imperial court, so I sent three people at the same time. From the looks of it, only Dai Yiming has been delivered, and the rest may have been intercepted."

Could it be the king's land in the whole world, and now on the king's land, others have the final say on what to send to the king, one can imagine the depression in his heart.But King Xin thought of another thing: "Oh no! This Lin Ruhai is on the verge of breaking the boat! Since someone has been stopped, I'm afraid this old boy's life will be lost!"

Once the emperor was reminded, he became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Yang Qi came in! Passed on my oral order and ordered the senior scholar on duty to draft an edict. Lin Ruhai, the censor of Yangzhou salt inspection, was loyal to the monarchy. He was promoted to a senior scholar, entered the cabinet, and went to Beijing on the same day. Another order The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang dispatched a hundred people from the Jingyuan Army to accompany him all the way, and nothing will be lost!" After Yang Qi repeated his statement correctly, he hurried to receive the order.

Seeing the anxious look on the emperor's face, King Xin's heart warmed slightly, and he thought that even though Seventh Brother had become the emperor to protect his shortcomings, he still didn't care about it. Wasn't it a stroke of genius that the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang sent people to Yangzhou to escort the officials back to Beijing?But having said that, I am afraid that others will not be able to shout, bitter!
