on the Grand Canal.

A two-story official ship, with sails taking advantage of the north wind, let the big ship sail northward without stopping for a while.

At the bow of the ship, a large dragon flag of Qincha is waving in the wind.

Nine secret lanterns are fixed on the flagpole, and even in the dark night, the banner of the Chincha will shine brightly.

In the cabin on the second floor, Lin Ruhai sat by the bookcase and read quietly.

Although the boat ride is much slower than the galloping horse, it is not like the sedan car that can stop at any time to watch the scenery and people.

But it is better than a stable word, and the comfort is too much.

is about to return to Beijing, and Lin Ruhai's mood is not as calm as it seems on the surface.

After all, he is still a man, not a sage.

This trip to Shandong, one of the thrilling ups and downs, is in his life, can be counted.

With the help of Jia Qiang's arrangement in Shandong, the hand of the fake white lotus pulled out the six top giant rooms in Shandong in one fell swoop.

With the death of the Holy Mansion, he killed the general of the Admiral of Shandong, deposed the three giants of Shandong, and seized the civil and military power of Shandong.

He also exercised this power, and the inside and outside should work together to destroy the white lotus, cut off the troubles, harvest countless grains, rice and silver, and solve the difficulty of relief in Shandong.

By the way, there is also the bloodline of the Holy Ancestor......

The harvest of the Shandong delegation is far more than what I thought when I went south!

I hope that Cao Rong and Cao Ziyang can cure Shandong and live up to his painstaking efforts......

"Old man......"

While thinking about it, the old servant Lin Zhong entered and said to Lin Ruhai: "The front is in Wuqing." ”

Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "That's it, where Wei Yong's soldiers are defeated?" ”

Lin Zhong nodded and said, "It's here, Yang Village is on the edge of the canal." Master, no one thought that the embroidered clothes guard would be defeated so badly. Wei Yong is also an old man of Fanwei, and he doesn't want to lose so badly this time. ”

Lin Ruhai sighed and said: "After all, he has been in charge of the embroidery guard for less than a year, and it is inevitable that there will be loopholes in his subordinates. Moreover, it is true that he is anxious and greedy. ”

Lin Zhong said: "Do this? The most important thing is to guard against arrogance and rashness, and secondly, it is the inner ghost. Is Wei Yong eager to seek merit? The two most taboo places were committed. This time? Not only did he suffer a big loss? Even the elite of the embroidered clothes and guards have lost most of them. If you want to select more than 1,000 loyal and capable warriors from the embroidered guards, it is difficult. Trust only one level? It's the number one problem. ”

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "This matter? It can only be thought about by the Son of Heaven. If you are not a confidant, you can be bold enough to clean the embroidered clothes. But if so...... In a short period of time, it may not be of great use. ”

The master and servant are talking? Suddenly the voice of a servant came from outside the door? Said: "Master......"

Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows slightly? Lin Zhong asked in a deep voice, "Chen Er? What's the matter? ”

Outside the door, Chen Er, a servant of the Lin family, said: "The handle always says that there are people on the dock who are playing flags? Let the Chincha ship dock. Zhong Quan under the command of Hou Ye stepped forward to take a look? said that the Hou Ye was here, and it was on the Wuqing Jinxi wharf. ”

Lin Zhong hurriedly asked, "Can you confirm it?" ”

Chen Erdao: "It's confirmed, Zhong Quan, Sun Shang and five or six of them have seen it, and I have also gone to see it, it is Ning Hou waiting on the dock." The iron bull behind him also came......"

Lin Ruhai heard this? Laughed: "This Qiang'er! What nonsense! ”

Lin Zhong said happily: "It must be that the Hou Ye knows about the defeat of Yang Village?" Worried about the safety of the master? I hurried to greet him! ”

Lin Ruhai groaned a little? said: "Let the boat dock, but only let Qiang'er bring people on the boat?" The rest is gone. ”

Lin Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What does the master mean, and others?" ”

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "There was such a tragedy in Yang Village, how could no one come?" ”

……

On the Wuqing wharf.

Jia Qiang wore a purple and gold crown and a thick brocade and silver rat skin cloak, riding on a jade lion that was not a trace of variegated throughout the body, looking at the official ship of the Qincha that was gradually approaching.

Beside him, there was a purple-clad officer with a solemn and solemn face and a very dignified official, followed by a battalion of superintendents, holding the governor's banner.

This person is the head of the world's feudal territory, directly under the governor Hua Ling.

The emperor is a heavy minister!

It's just that at this moment, this world-renowned feudal official has a gloomy expression in his expression.

When a man sits at home, evil comes from heaven.

This sentence can describe the ambiguity in Hua Ling's heart, originally because the emperor died suddenly, he was cautious in his words and deeds every day, dealing with the hands and tails left over the years, lest people turn over the old accounts and settle a wave.

Unexpectedly, just when he destroyed a lot of evidence that could be used one by one, such a disaster happened under his rule!

Hua Ling wanted to die depressed in his heart, but he refused to sit still.

After looking for a way out and having no solution, he got the red man in front of the Son of Heaven and the queen, and after the second duke of Ning Rong, Jia Qiang, who was a hereditary first-class martial marquis, wanted to come to Wuqing to welcome and escort his husband Lin Ruhai back to Beijing.

Hearing this news, Hualing was like grasping the last straw.

He knew that as the head of the world's frontier ministers, this position really made too many people blush, and it also became a thorn in the side of some people.

But because of the disturbances in Beijing, and all along, although he is mediocre and has no outstanding achievements, he is not a big deal.

Therefore, in the past half a year of the Emperor's reign, no one has taken him down.

Now that such a thing has happened, if there is no noble person to save him, he will not escape being liquidated.

An old minister like him at the beginning of the Jing Dynasty, if he really fell, the places on his body that could be attacked were simply full of buckets.

It will never be settled by simply losing office......

How many of the important ministers who have been planted in the past six months have escaped the end of the crime of raiding their homes?

The name of "the new emperor of the family" is faintly circulated in the Shilin of Southern Province, but it is not groundless......

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Hua Ling became.

He is the loyalty of the Emperor Taishang, and he also believes in the way that the Emperor enjoys and is used.

How can a person who has been rich for too long not be afraid of death......

It's just that to his disappointment, this recently hot magnate in the capital has no respect for him, the head of the frontier, and is unwilling to even do superficial perfunctory.

Now he only asks for a clear look at Lin Ruhai, who is all over the world, to be able to give him a way out.

If so, even if he joins his disciples, what if he admits to vote?

However, reality gave him another cruel blow.

After the Qin sent the boat to the shore, a group of guards came down and passed the edict of the Qin mission: "Please Ning Hou and his party get on the boat, and the rest will not be seen." ”

Hearing this, Hua Lingden was anxious, and took the first step and said: "Please inform Lin Xiang, this governor is directly under the governor, and there is a very important matter to ask to see Lin Xiang!" ”

The Xingyuan guard shook his head and said: "This lord doesn't need to do more, Qin sent Xingyuan all the way north, passing through several provinces, and wanted to ask for more than one governor to see the prime minister?" It's just that the prime minister said that he has a holy order, and he will not see the ministers before the decree, forgive me. ”

Jia Qiang ignored this person, and after leading more than 100 horsemen to board the boat, the board of the boat was recovered, and the official boat was put back into the river by the boatman, and continued to sail.

……

"Sir! Disciple meet sir! ”

In the study room on the second floor of the building, Jia Qiang saw Lin Ruhai sitting behind the bookcase with a smile, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.

Lin Ruhai laughed and shouted, "Qiang'er, get up, get up." You're going to Beijing tomorrow, why are you here again? Although Dayan only forbade the king of the sect to leave the capital, it was not good for Xungui to leave without a will. Otherwise, it is easy to be impeached by outside officials and disturb the place, which is a crime of robbing the lord. ”

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "The disciple came out all the way to pick up the remote roads and avoid the bustling places, whoever impeached the disciple was falsely accused!" After a pause, he looked at Lin Ruhai with a clear face, and said with a smile: "Mr. has lost some weight, and he has to recuperate for some time after returning to Beijing." But the spirit looks good, it can be seen that people are in good spirits at happy events! ”

"You......"

Lin Ruhai was still happy after all, and didn't criticize more, and asked: "But after getting the letter of the Yangcun incident, I didn't have to worry about it?" ”

Jia Qiang nodded, but said with a smile: "Mr. doesn't care about the family first?" ”

Lin Ruhai and the old servant Lin Zhong on the side both laughed.

Jia Qiang and Lin Zhong greeted each other: "Uncle Zhong is good." ”

Lin Zhong smiled: "Master Hou is good! So that the Hou Ye knows that the master never cares about family affairs outside, because Hou Ye is here, why should he care about family affairs? ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Uncle Zhong praised me like this, and I was proud." But this time it was really a bit dangerous, at first there was no news, and my aunt had a body, and even she didn't know it. Fortunately, the younger sister came home that day and found that her aunt was very unwell, so she came to find the lord of the Yin family. After being invited, he went into the palace and invited the old worshippers in the queen's mother's palace, and discussed the use of needles into medicine, and finally put the aunt safely. Other than that, there are no major events at home. ”

Lin Zhong was so happy that his eyes were a little red, and he said, "Okay! Good! Good! Thanks to the girl, and thanks to Master Hou! Thankfully! ”

Lin Ruhai was indifferent and said with a smile: "There is no major incident at home?" Not really. Isn't it a big deal that you're even in a prison and in a prison this time, and you're in danger? ”

Lin Zhong knew that the master and apprentice had something to talk about, so he took the first step to retire.

After Lin Zhong left, Jia Qiang sat down after Lin Ruhai's signal, and said with a smile: "It's basically all in the calculation, although there are a lot of risks, but it's all worth it." ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, the smile on his face faded, and he sighed: "I regret being a teacher, I shouldn't put you in danger." There was really some mishap, and something happened, but it was beyond remorse. ”

He is willing to take a large enough risk for the benefit of the community.

But after all, he is an old man and a parent.

In retrospect, I was often shocked into a cold sweat, not just complacent.

However, he is not a hypocritical person, and he made up his mind that he could not let his juniors take risks in the future, so he did not continue to say more, but diverted the topic and said: "I got the old lady's letter, saying that you made too much trouble, and she couldn't support it, so she begged me to be round and round." I also know a little about the Jia family, what do you say? ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and smiled: "There's nothing to say, when I went to prison, no one in the Jia family thought about making a difference for me and finding a way to get me out, even if it was to see the people I cared about and cared about my life and death." I wanted to bring someone to the door, not to mention the encroachment on the original family business in Dongfu, and even my outside business wanted to occupy it.

Mrs. Wang said better, I am a blessed person, I can't afford this wealth, and my destiny is like this.

This gang is really selfish and shameless to the extreme, and the disciples really can't think of a reason to continue to keep them.

Keep it, and it will be a curse! ”

Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Qiang was so angry, but he smiled and said, "Qiang'er, you, you have entered a biased reason." ”

Jia Qiangqi said: "Sir, what is the reason? ”

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "You shouldn't be so sad and annoyed, because you have never treated these people as relatives, so why should you expect them to save you?" ”

"This ......"

Jia Qiang's face changed, and finally she shook her head and said, "Although the disciples have never treated these as relatives, after all, they have the fact that they are the elders of the clan, and it is possible to do bad things if they keep them." ”

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Then this is very easy to do, and the ability to abolish their bad things is." It's just that you want to send the old man and his wife to Gansu Town, do you think such an arrangement is appropriate? ”

Jia Qiang didn't care much about it originally, but after listening to Lin Ruhai's question at this time, Fang thought about it carefully, and said slowly after a while: "What Mr. means, is it worried that Jia Yu will fall into the hands of outsiders, but it will be more disadvantageous?" ”

Lin Ruhai bowed his head and said: "In the final analysis, he is also the eldest son of Xianrong Guoyan, and he has a knighthood. After the death of Master Jing, the Jia clan regarded him as the elder. You have detained him before him, and you can do nothing bad with what he can do. If you are really tired of it, you just need to send someone to watch it closely, and you will not be allowed to show your face again as evil.

If you really don't even want to live in a house, can't you send it to Zhuangzi outside the city and keep it in captivity?

But you have to send people to Gansu Town...... You don't have such a deep friendship with the new general soldier of Gansu Town, right?

If you let someone with a heart instigate or control Jia Yu, when it is critical, say something that should not be said in the name of Jia Yu......

Then you will be very passive.

Therefore, put aside your anger in advance, and don't be rash.

Think about it, isn't that the reason? ”

Jia Qiang was moved, nodded and said, "Sir, I was acting rashly." When he turned around, he sent people to send these two to Zhuangzi outside the city, arranged for people to watch them closely, and said to the public that they had gone to Gansu Town. In short, it would be good if they were not allowed to appear in the Jia family in this life. That, the second room is ......"

Lin Ruhai saw that he listened to the persuasion and came up with such a method, so he smiled and nodded.

It's just that Lin Ruhai didn't know that even if it was nominally, the reason why he had to send Jia Yu and his wife to Gansu Town was for Yifeng.

But it is really not necessary to send it to Gansu, stay in front of it, if there is really anything wrong, you can send the two of them on the road at any time......

Lin Ruhai said again: "On the second side, you should be more careful. But you have done a very good job, get the original source, set things right, take back the Rongxi Hall from the second room, return the big house, and abolish the stewardship of Cun Zhou in one fell swoop......

In fact, at this point, the second room is no longer much of a threat. But you still have qi in your heart, and this anger may not be for yourself, or it may be for Yu'er?

The Wang family was not on good terms with your master back then, and she was very jealous and hateful, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to be kind to Yu'er.

The old lady also said in the letter that she was going to send her to the Buddha nunnery to worship the Buddha. What do you mean? ”

Jia Qiang said: "This is also the bottom line of disciples. ”

Lin Ruhai pondered for a while, and said: "Speaking for the teacher and not for the Wang family, it is not because of the affection between the grandfather and the old lady, it's just that Qiang'er has ever thought about the palace?" ”

Jia Qiang said: "On the side of the imperial concubine in the palace, the disciple can go to the Fengzao Palace in person to say the difference. ”

Lin Ruhai slowly shook his head and said, "Qiang'er, you should understand that this matter is not about action, but about your heart." Don't say that the imperial power is you, if the mother of the people in your room, such as the Feng family, was 'forced' to enter the Buddha nunnery to worship the Buddha, what should you think? In particular, Feng Shi only said a few words out of line. The weight of the imperial concubine is far more than a hundred times more valuable than the person in the room? That's the deputy queen, and she is also the face of the heavenly family. ”

If Emperor Long An doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean that Emperor Long An won't think about anything.

From the perspective of heaven, this move is really a slap in the face.

It can also be seen that Jia Qiang has no reverence for the heavenly family.

Many times, this perception is deadly.

Jia Qiang had to remind: "Sir, it is exactly like this, leaving this person is the future trouble!" Once something happens to the gentleman and the disciple, no one in the Jia family can control this person! There are unforeseen circumstances, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents in the future? ”

After thinking for a while, Lin Ruhai shook his head slightly and said, "Since this is the case, it's not good for you to fight with the old lady and them at this juncture, and you will fall in love." Wouldn't it be better to wait for this limelight and do it more thoroughly? ”

Jia Qiang: "......"

it!

Sir, your name as the sick king of Hades is really well deserved!

Jia Qiang, who prides herself on being ruthless and ruthless, shouted wildly in her heart.

Seeing that Jia Qiang seemed to be bluffed, Lin Ruhai smiled dumbly and said, "Could it be that in your eyes, being a teacher is a pedantic person?" Qiang'er, don't be swayed by your will. But when it's time to start, don't be soft-hearted. Wang's position is indeed a bit tricky. is different from the incompetent people in the big house, and she can't be connived at. ”

Jia Qiang came back to her senses and said with a smile: "No, no! The disciple is shocked that Mr. is decisive! Another lesson, learned. Hey, sir, ginger, it's still old and spicy in the end! Okay, then wait for the province! It has not been easy for the imperial concubine these years, so she must go home for a good New Year! In addition, a gentleman came forward to temporarily forgive the Wang family, and when the time comes, it will not harbor evil intentions......"

Lin Ruhai shook his head again and said, "What are you forgiving?" Although it doesn't have to be sent to the Buddhist nunnery, it makes the heavenly family ugly. It should also be encircled in the courtyard, unless the imperial concubine can show up, and the rest of the time, he will pay homage to the Buddha. ”

Jia Qiang immediately understood that this arrangement was truly seamless.

And if you have been trapped for a long time, you will naturally be prone to death.

If you do what Jia Qiang did, and the person dies, it is called a violent death, and it is inferior.

Seeing Lin Ruhai's set of methods, he was really convinced.

There is reason and evidence, there is collection and release, this is probably the so-called weightlifting.

Jia Qiang nodded, and smiled admiringly: "Sir, the disciple understands. ”

Lin Ruhai bowed slightly, and said, "I heard that the second room chief grandson's name is Jia Lan, and his talent is good?" ”

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "It's an ambitious one." ”

Lin Ruhai said: "Since you have ambition, then it is good to cultivate and educate." As a teacher, he received a lot of favor from the former Rongguo, and he always wanted to protect the descendants of Xifu and maintain the lintel of Jia's house. ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, I have spent a lot of money on Jia family education, which is enough to ensure that the students can receive the best education." ”

After a pause, seeing that Lin Ruhai no longer mentioned Jia's family affairs, Jia Qiang told him and the Jiang family, as well as several confrontations and grievances between him and Dou Xian.

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he gradually frowned......

……
