Lin Ruhai bowed his head and walked into the hall, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times, and made a big salute, "Minister Lin Ruhai see Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live Long live." ”

The Emperor Taishang did not call up, and objected to Huaishen and smiled, "Huaishen, you go to see your imperial uncle and talk to him about this errand." ”

He responded cautiously and respectfully, didn't look at Lin Ruhai any more, turned around and left the main hall.

Lin Ruhai had already seen the emperor first, and when he came out of the main hall of the emperor again, more than an hour had passed.

Lin Ruhai couldn't see any expression on his face, but his steps were a little vain, and there was some cold sweat on his forehead.

"Lord Lin!"

Lin Ruhai was about to turn around and leave, but someone behind him stopped him, it was Gonggong An beside the emperor.

"I'll give Lord Lin a ride." Grandpa An smiled.

Lin Ruhai didn't dare to take Qiao, he didn't dare to say again, the two pushed each other a few words, and seeing that Father-in-law An insisted, Lin Ruhai said, "Then there is Father-in-law Lao." The two walked out side by side.

Although Ningshou Palace is big, it doesn't take too long to walk to the palace gate, along the way Gonggong An didn't say much, Lin Ruhai didn't have much interest in talking for a while, he didn't say anything all the way, and when he walked to the palace gate, Gonggong An made a gesture, turned around and went back, when he passed by Lin Ruhai, he whispered in his ear, "Lord Lin Tanhua and the first, he is highly educated, and he must naturally understand the truth that one servant does not serve the two masters." ”

Father-in-law An put down his words and went back, but Lin Ruhai was shocked all over his body, and his heart was compassionate.

However, Lin Ruhai was worried about more than that, Ningshou Palace gradually moved away, but Lin Ruhai's mood could not be calmed down. In addition to the conversation with the Emperor Taishang just now, and the warning brought by Gonggong An, he always had the scene he saw when he first entered the main hall.

This is the second time he has seen Master Turtle show such eyes, and the first time is the day Peng Shixing passed away. And this time, the lord is looking at the emperor.

Although the Emperor Taishang looked healthy, he was getting old. He originally had some plans, but it was based on the fact that the emperor could live a few more years, Lin Ruhai closed his eyes, although the old man was supernatural, but in the end he was just a turtle, how could he have the ability to tell people life and death? Xu was thinking too much.

Lin Ruhai was worried in his heart, and when he thought of his current situation, he didn't know for a while whether he wanted to guess right or wrong.

And no matter how lively the court was at this time, because of the return of vain Huaishen, Lin Daiyu in the harem couldn't see it.

As soon as she returned to the palace, she quickly exchanged identities with the little eunuch, Biqiu happily welcomed back her real young lady, she cried with joy, God knows how frightened she was these days, fortunately Princess Anrou helped cover up, otherwise, Biqiu was always afraid of her head, and she would leave her one day.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu took it for granted that she once again appreciated Biqiu's nagging*.

Lin Daiyu: I haven't listened to it for so long, and I miss it unexpectedly.

But when Biqiu chanted for the tenth time, Daiyu finally couldn't stand it, and at this time she especially wanted to escape from Biqiu's magic sound attack, however, as a person who has been sick for a long time, even if she is good, she is not alive all of a sudden, and she has not avoided suspicion, Daiyu has to lie down for a few days.

Lin Daiyu, who was surrounded by magic sounds: It's all fate!

Therefore, when she saw Princess Anrou who came to visit, Daiyu was like seeing a savior, since Anrou already knew, Lin Daiyu did not pretend to be delicate, and when Anrou asked about the things along the way, Daiyu picked everything she could say and said it, listening to Daiyu talk about the excitement along the way, Anrou's eyes were full of brilliance, she was very yearning, and she pestered Daiyu to say some customs, and the atmosphere between the two was quite harmonious.

In comparison, the previous dynasty was not so peaceful.

After this strict investigation, counting the deficit of more than ten years, the total amount is not only the million taels mentioned by Lin Ruhai at the beginning, but at least 10 million silver.

Such a huge amount, the emperor was furious, the two Huai salt officials involved in the case were held accountable, not only the current salt officials, but even the former salt officials were also affected, a large number of officials involved in the case were sentenced to exile, beheaded prisoners, many salt merchants were raided, and the family was beheaded. In addition, a number of officials have been demoted or dismissed and returned to their hometowns. Jiang Xia escaped because of his meritorious report, but the family's property was returned to the treasury, and Liu Jingren, who was the envoy of Huainan Jiedu at the time, was demoted by the emperor due to poor supervision.

Among them, the most striking is the King of Gongshun and the King of Yong'an, both of whom were imprisoned, which was the holy decree of the Emperor Taishang himself. At the same time, the king of Anjun was rewarded by the emperor for his outstanding errands, and he not only rewarded many treasures over the emperor, but also made the prince on the spot, becoming the youngest prince in the court. For a while, the wind direction in the capital changed, and many people figured out some flavors, and Prince An was in the limelight for a while.

Among them, the first two Huai patrol salt imperial history Lin Ruhai became a special case, it stands to reason that he single-handedly picked up the salt tax case, and even was assassinated for this, but in the same way, as a salt patrol imperial history, one of the highest governors of the salt administration, also under his tenure the salt tax case.

When the court discussed his disposal, many people impeached Lin Ruhai's corpse vegetarian meal, poor supervision, and even suspected of colluding with the same stream, and the court was noisy for a while, but fortunately, Lin Ruhai's popularity was good, and there were many people who supported it, until the end the emperor did not say what to do with Lin Ruhai, but he was suspended from all official positions and suspended for probation.

Lin Ruhai didn't care much about this, on the contrary, looking at Jia Min, who had lost a lot of weight in front of him, it was rare for his heart to settle down.

"Min'er." Lin Ruhai smiled, his eyes were as gentle and firm as they were back then.

Jia Min's eyes widened, wanting to take a good look at her husband, but tears fell uncontrollably, blurring her vision, she really hadn't seen her husband for a long time.

Seeing the situation between the two of them, Mother Jia wiped the corners of her eyes and said thoughtfully, "I've been running around for days, and my aunt and grandfather are tired, so it's better to go to Min'er to rest." ”

Hearing Jia's mother's words, Lin Ruhai finally took his eyes off Jia Min and smiled apologetically, "The son-in-law is rude." As he spoke, he bowed again, thanking Jia Mu for taking care of her these days.

"Go, go, go." Jia's mother waved her hand and simply drove them to the backyard, her worries about her son-in-law's future and the future of Jiafu were replaced by the joy of her daughter's reunion. As a mother, aside from many other considerations, she always hopes that her daughter will be well.

Back at Jia Min's residence, the couple looked at each other silently, Jia Min had a thousand words in his heart, he really got along at this time, but he felt that there was no need to say it, now that they can be reunited, it is enough to be together so quietly and quietly.

The two of you look at me, I look at you, as if they understand what the other party thinks, and they can't help but smile.

Lin Ruhai took Jia Min's hand, looked at his wife's still beautiful side face, and laughed at herself, "Min'er is still so beautiful, but I'm a bad old man." ”

Jia Min burst out laughing, touched the fine lines at the corners of his eyes, and sighed, "I'm also old, Dai Yuxuan and their jade should also get married." ”

Speaking of Daiyu Xuanyu, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but think of a certain fat man, and suddenly felt a little depressed, changed the topic, and asked Xuanyu, "How is Xuanyu?" ”

Jia Min was about to talk to him about Xuanyu, the curtain at the door was lifted, and a handsome young man walked in, the boy was very similar to Daiyu, but the contours of his face were tougher, his eyes were like Langxing, and his demeanor was graceful, so he was a handsome young man.

Lin Ruhai looked at the person carefully, he was very relieved in his heart, and his face couldn't help but smile, Lin Xuanyu also stood up straight, looking excited, "Daddy!" ”

After many years of separation, Lin Ruhai finally reunited as a family, but unfortunately there was still a missing Daiyu, otherwise it would be more complete.

Lin Ruhai and his wife and son said goodbye, and talked about their experiences over the years, especially the big things Daiyu did this time, the three of them were a little helpless and funny, chatted for a while, and the banquet in front of them was also rectified, and Lin Ruhai was invited to the banquet by Jia Zheng and Jia Zheng.

This time Jia Yu can be said to be a rare pride, his uncompetitive son made a meritorious promotion and gave him a good face, all the time, Jia Amnesty, who has been pressed by the second child, can't help but tremble in front of Jia Zheng, these days are dangling in front of Jia Zheng, seeing Jia Zheng is also a little upset, of course, Jia Zheng is upset, Jia Baoyu's hard days came, and began to be spot-checked and trained by Lao Tzu every day.

Jia Baoyu: Why is it always me who gets hurt?

Of course, in front of his brother-in-law who had just been suspended, Jia Yu finally restrained himself, but unfortunately after three glasses of wine, he couldn't hide it, and mentioned his son with a "modest" face, "serious" Jia Zheng couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, Lin Ruhai was very patient, because he was too busy, Jia Lian never had a chance to go out to wave, so he had a good impression of Jia Lian, and the two chatted speculatively.

By the time the banquet was over, Jia Yu was already like a brother in the sea, and he felt like he had found a confidant. Because of something in his heart, Lin Ruhai didn't drink much at the banquet, and when he said goodbye and returned to his residence, he was still sober.

Lin Ruhai has returned to Beijing, as a big man, it is not good to live in his mother-in-law's house all the time, not to mention that the Lin family also has a house in the capital, only to live for a long time, it takes some time to clean and renovate, Jia's mother is reluctant, and it is not good to stop the husband and wife from going home to live, so she has to ask to come and move around often, and let go, and when Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were busy moving, in vain Huaishen came out of the limelight again.

He made an excerpt and asked for a change in the salt system to a ticket salt system, to carry out a thorough reform of the salt industry, to break the monopoly position of the big salt merchants, and to prevent the recurrence of salt withdrawal from the root.

As soon as this law comes out, if it is implemented, the salt merchants will no longer be the same as they once were, and the price of salt will be reduced. Because the benefits of this method are obvious, no matter what you think in your heart, at least on the surface, most people in the court support the implementation of this method, and the emperor quickly issued a holy decree.

It's just that soon everyone's minds were shifted from the salt administration, and the north was in chaos.
