Lin Daiyu:

I don't know why, she actually saw the immovable and immovable demeanor from a turtle, although the turtle also rubbed her, but Lin Daiyu Mo Ming had a sense of sincerity and fear of being pampered, hehe, this must be an illusion!

Lin Ruhai was also quite strange, and said in surprise, "This is strange, the master has never been very close to people, but I didn't expect him to like you a lot." ”

In fact, it's not just that he is not close to people, this turtle master always looks lazy and waits like a mortal, and now he has made such a move, as its daily owner, Lin Ruhai is really surprised.

He looked at his daughter, Daiyu was squatting down, and poked the turtle shell with interest, but the turtle master did not resist and let her poke.

Thinking of the magical red hair, and thinking of the various visions when his daughter was born, even Lin Ruhai, who was familiar with the books of sages, couldn't help but wonder if his daughter really had any origin, and in the future, whether she would become a noble person, after all

Thinking of this, he looked at Tu Huaishen, who was looking at Daiyu intently, and shook his head hurriedly, it's too early to think about this, not to mention, Lin Ruhai's eyes looked at Tu Huaishen's round figure with some subtlety, as a Tanhualang who is full of good looks and has high requirements for the appearance of his future son-in-law, he is cautious and does not meet his requirements.

Tu Huaishen didn't know that he had been disliked by his future father-in-law.

He was observing with great interest this turtle exuding the spirit of the king, this turtle turtle shell is pitch black, there are complex and mysterious patterns on the shell, although I can't understand it, but it doesn't look like a random growth of lines, but seems to imply some kind of law.

Master Turtle, this name is really, Mo Ming's aptness, that is, this is not quite in line with Lin Ruhai's romantic character design.

After admiring the heroic appearance of the turtle master with relish for a while, Daiyu did not forget to ask about what happened.

It turned out that this turtle was raised by Lin Ruhai in the past six months, and if you want to talk about the origin, it is not clear to say, anyway, one day, it suddenly appeared in Lin Ruhai's study, and I don't know how it climbed in.

The tortoise shell pattern of the turtle lord is quite rhythmic, Lin Ruhai looks interesting, coupled with the strange and superior temperament of the turtle lord that is difficult to extinguish from everyone, think about the precedent of red hair, know that some animals are indeed supernatural, and the turtle is quiet, and it is not difficult to raise it, so Lin Ruhai raised it.

Who knows, it was this turtle who saved his life.

At that time, he was suddenly assassinated, and the guards around Lin Ruhai couldn't rescue him, and he watched the assassin stab a green dagger into Lin Ruhai's chest, and the assassin was immediately cut down by the guards who came when he hit him, but Lin Ruhai had fallen to the ground, and the guards were terrified.

Then, he took out a turtle from his chest.

The turtle probed out and glanced at them, and slowly retracted its head back into the shell.

Butlers, Guards:

After that, it's time to block the news.

"When I went out that day, he suddenly climbed into my clothes, so coincidentally, he blocked a sword for me, and this turtle shell was also extremely hard, and the assassin tried his best once, but he didn't even pierce half a point." Lin Ruhai explained, and laughed again, "From then on, I will call him Master Turtle, isn't it my master." ”

Lin Daiyu saw that the turtle master's eyes had changed, and carefully stretched out her hands, held the turtle in front of her, kissed the turtle shell, and said solemnly: "Master, thank you for saving my father, I will treat you well in the future." ”

The tone was like an oath, and the turtle master seemed to understand, turned his head to face Daiyu, nodded appreciatively, gave Daiyu an appreciative look, and shrank back again.

Daiyu and Master Turtle exchanged feelings there, and in vain Huaishen glanced at Master Turtle with a little jealousy, but still chatted with Lin Ruhai about this performance.

"Uncle Lin" said a few words, and as soon as he opened his mouth to call like this, he was politely interrupted by Lin Ruhai.

"I can't help Your Highness, now that you have been crowned the king of the county, you really don't need to be called a subordinate official like this, and the subordinate official really doesn't dare to be an official."

Hearing him say this, he knew that it was going to be bad, and said modestly, "So that Uncle Lin's kindness to help back then, I remember it in my heart, and I have been friends with the boss since childhood, and the friendship is irreversible, and it is appropriate to call you an uncle." ”

The two of them gave in a few more words, seeing that Lin Ruhai looked like he was adamant, he was no longer reluctant to be cautious, and just called his uncle cheekily, Lin Ruhai twitched the corner of his eyes, seeing that he just didn't hear his own words of shirk, he didn't care, and talked to him about business.

"Uncle Lin, why did you suddenly attack this time?"

Lin Ruhai paused, and said helplessly, "It's not my intention this time." ”

Halfway through speaking, he looked at Daiyu who had pricked up her ears on the side.

Lin Daiyu squatted on the ground, concentrating on studying the turtle, as if she had no distractions, but her feet seemed to have roots, and she didn't want to move a bit.

Lin Ruhai turned to Vain Huaishen again, but saw that he seemed to have completely forgotten that there was another person in the house, and looked at him sincerely.

Lin Ruhai twitched the corners of his mouth and continued, "When I first arrived in Yangzhou, I was not very familiar with salt affairs, and after a long time, I noticed that there was something wrong with it, falsely reported the sale of salt, sold illegal salt, and withheld tax silver.

Lin Ruhai said that there was some helplessness here, "I also went to the recital to explain this matter back then, but the sage stayed in the middle and pressed the matter down." ”

At that time, Lin Ruhai was the most high-spirited time, the young man explored the flowers, and was appreciated by the sage in a high position, although he knew that this matter was sensitive, and I am afraid that it had been implemented for many years, the previous salt patrol imperial history was not reported, and he reported, coupled with the complicated situation in the south of the Yangtze River, implicated in the court, maybe it was safer to turn a blind eye, but he was full of loyalty and patriotism at that time, and returned the favor of the king, even if he knew that there was a risk, he still played the emperor.

It's a pity that the emperor's response was the opposite of his enthusiasm, and he chose to suppress it, and now that I think about it, the emperor's body was probably not very good at that time.

"And now?"

"Now," Lin Ruhai looked at Vain Huaishen meaningfully, but asked a question that was not related, "How is the Emperor's health now?" ”

After a pause, he replied honestly, "Recently, the emperor's grandfather's body has been quite tough. ”

Xu is the return of the grandson, the only one who was taught by the emperor himself, the role of the eldest son, or something else. At that time, the Emperor Taishang's Zen position was due to physical problems, but after the Zen position, his body gradually improved, and the return of the Taisun was a heart-strengthening agent, and the Emperor's body was getting better and better.

"At this time, at that time, His Royal Highness has now entered the court, and naturally he should have some merits and power."

In vain Huaishen was a little worried, "What about His Majesty, Uncle Lin is like this, how does His Majesty react?" He was afraid that Lin Ruhai would be implicated.

"Your Majesty has long wanted to move against this Jiangnan officialdom."

Although many salt taxes have been greedy, not all of them have gone to the pockets of salt merchants, these people have their own backers, and a lot of money and silver have been sent to Beijing layer by layer, into private pockets, Jiangnan tax is a piece of fat, everyone wants to take a bite, as the emperor, watching the father press, the brothers take their own plates, how the emperor does not want to snatch it back.

This time, Lin Ruhai also coincided with the meeting, both of which sent hints, and he also wanted to take advantage of this to transfer back to Beijing, as long as this case is handled, his position as a salt inspector will probably have to move, and it is no longer suitable to continue to stay in Jiangnan.

Of course, he has not "discovered" this matter over the years, as a salt patrol imperial history, I am afraid that he will also be punished for the crime of negligence, but the merits and demerits are offset, and nothing should happen, if he is really suspended, he will be happy, and he has long not wanted to wade into this troubled water. Therefore, he took advantage of the situation.

"What's more, there is news that the north seems to be a little restless, but the treasury is empty"

Lin Ruhai didn't say the rest of the words, and he also understood that this group of people was hitting the muzzle of the gun.

Lin Daiyu listened carefully on the side, although she didn't like to twist and turn, but she was not a nerd, and she understood, but Lin Daiyu frowned, although she understood, she always felt that this was wrong, according to her temper, since these people are the moths of the country, they are naturally found and dealt with early, and let it go, it is not the country and the people who suffer.

But after looking at Lin Ruhai, Daiyu still swallowed these words, and she also knew that there was probably too much involved here, and it was not something that her father could decide. Now that I can finally deal with it, it's a good thing, I'm afraid that I have dealt with some characters on the table again, and I have copied a large amount of family wealth, but the big people behind the scenes have lost their cars and are safe.

In fact, usually the salt government is greedy, and the court doesn't care too much, but the hand is too long, and it's not good to take too much, the emperor already knew that there was a cat greasy in the salt government, but he really didn't know that the cat was so big, after this time he signaled Lin Ruhai to investigate thoroughly, he received the number given to him by Lin Ru's poster, and he was also angry enough, and he estimated that the general account of these years was calculated, and the emperor's chest hurt, even if it was his other sons behind him, he couldn't bear it, not to mention those sons, it was not as good as the current grandson.

To put it bluntly, in fact, in a certain aspect, the salt merchants are still the cash machines of the imperial court, or there is no limit, droughts, floods, earthquakes, peasant uprisings, and insufficient military salaries, and the salt merchants should repay the donations, which has always been a common practice. But if the money of the imperial court is so large, in the final analysis, no matter how rich the salt merchants are, and then they are deeply connected with the imperial court, they are still just businessmen, and the imperial court really wants to take them under the knife, so naturally there is a way for the imperial court.

Next, Tu Huaishen called Fu Lu and Niu Heng in, and seeing that Lin Ruhai was safe and sound, although the two were curious, they didn't ask a word, and several people began to formally discuss countermeasures.
