Lu Jing felt that although it was not the best situation now, Lin Ruhai's original intention of getting out of the whirlpool in Jiangnan had been achieved.

Lin Ruhai can take advantage of this incident to get out, and Lin Daiyu can also come back from Jiafu earlier, he believes that if Lin Ruhai recuperates well, it is not a big problem to live for two or three more years, so that the fate of the Lin family's father and daughter will change.

"Can the teacher find out who committed the assassination?" Lu Jing has ruled out the suspicion of the salt merchant's assassination, so the one who is most likely to assassinate Lin Ruhai is the Zhen family.

Through Lin Ruhai's hints these days, he already knows that the strangers around Lin Ruhai are all subordinates of Emperor Yuanyong, so they must have found some clues.

Lin Ruhai knew that Lu Jing could get the account book to relieve him, and he must have paid attention to this matter, so he asked, "What do you think?" ”

"The disciple guesses that it's either the Gao family or the Zhen family?"

Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "The assassin is from the capital!" ”

"Capital!" Lu Jing was a little surprised by this answer: "Could it be those hands in Beijing?" ”

What Lu Jing was referring to was the power of the imperial family, could it be that Lin Ruhai did something angry and resentful, causing several princes in Beijing to do something to him.

Lin Ruhai shook his head, and only said the word "Nan'an" and then stopped speaking.

Lu Jing pondered for a while, and then realized that what Lin Ruhai said was actually the king of Nan'an County, but he couldn't understand why the king of Nan'an County would send someone to assassinate Lin Ruhai.

It stands to reason that the king of Nan'an County has always been good friends with the Jia family, and he is the number one general under the command of the Emperor Taishang, could it be that the Emperor Taishang was dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai's behavior of defecting to the emperor, so he instructed the king of Nan'an County to make a move, thinking of this, Lu Jing was a little worried.

"Don't think too complicated!" When Lin Ruhai saw Lu Jing's worried face, he knew that his disciple was thinking of something.

"Do you know who Zhen Yingjia's wife is?"

"Lord Qingpu, it turned out to be her!" Lu Jing suddenly realized.

Jiangnan Province, Jiangning Mansion, Jinling City Zhenjia.

Since the news of Lin Ruhai's assassination came, Zhen Yingjia's mood has been extremely bad in the past few days, and he is also a little disgusted with the wife in front of him.

Seeing the news from the capital today, Zhen Yingjia shouted angrily: "How can this be true. ”

The king of Qingpu County persuaded: "Why should the lord be angry, then Lin Ruhai has lived for a few days, even if he can't die, with the situation in Beijing, no matter what Lin Ruhai says, he has to be sentenced to the crime of exile, and if he doesn't say it, he will be sentenced by the emperor to be beheaded directly!" ”

"Shut up, you know what!" Zhen Yingjia said angrily, although the county lord of Qingpu is his wife, he is still the sister of the king of Nan'an County, and he still has to rely on the power of the king of Nan'an in Beijing, so he does not dare to reprimand too much.

"Pass my order, whoever in the house dares to talk about Yangzhou again, I will be killed on the spot." After Zhen Yingjia gave the order to go down, he immediately waved back the people in the house.

He stared into the eyes of the county lord of Qingpu and asked cautiously, "Have those assassins been dealt with?" ”

Zhen Yingjia didn't expect the county lord of Qingpu to be so bold, and he didn't know him, so he sent someone to assassinate Lin Ruhai, and he used the manpower of the king of Nan'an County.

If he hadn't found out about this a few days ago and sent someone to Jingshi to ask the king of Nan'an, I'm afraid even the king of Nan'an wouldn't know about it.

What made him even more angry was that the emperor couldn't hold back the original impeachment of Lin Ruhai in Beijing, and they were preparing to continue to put pressure on the emperor, charge Lin Ruhai with a crime, and escort Lin Ruhai to Beijing.

Who would have thought that with this assassination, the situation in Beijing would ease again, and the good situation would collapse in an instant.

He just received the news from Beijing today, and now the emperor has begun to delay the handling of Lin Ruhai's affairs, and they can only continue to talk with Lin Ruhai's forces in Beijing now.

"Master, you are too careful, who in Jiangnan doesn't know that our Zhen family has the final say!"

The county lord of Qingpu was quite unimpressed with Zhen Yingjia's fuss, but after she finished speaking, she saw that Zhen Yingjia's face was faintly angry, and then she said with a little dissatisfaction: "Don't worry, master, I have dealt with those people properly, and I haven't left a single person alive." ”

Seeing that the county lord of Qingpu still didn't care, Zhen Yingjia was annoyed that he couldn't see the situation in front of him clearly, and said angrily: "Don't you think that this Jiangnan is still the world of my Zhen family, Jiangnan used to be impregnable, but I didn't expect Lin Ruhai to dare to calculate us!" ”

"The emperor's hand will come in immediately, you must not make a mistake, otherwise even the old county king will not be able to afford it!"

This Jiangnan officialdom earthquake, especially Yangzhou, I don't know how many people will be arranged by the emperor to come in, as well as officials and salt merchants who are close to the Zhen family.

"Hmph, I know, this damn Lin Ruhai, I used to see that he was the in-law of Jiafu, and gave him a little thin noodles, but I didn't expect him to dare to betray the emperor and give us such a hand, this Jia family is still acquainted, and he didn't stand out for Lin Ruhai in the court!"

Puling County is also the lord with an angry face, eager to tear Lin Ruhai, speaking of which, this time she also suffered heavy losses, and many officials and businessmen related to the king of Nan'an County were all uprooted by Lin Ruhai.

Their cash cow sea trade business was also greatly affected, and she just couldn't swallow this breath, so she used the men and horses of the king of Nan'an County to assassinate Lin Ruhai.

"What's the point of talking about it now!" Zhen Yingjia never thought that Lin Ruhai would actually move them, causing him to be caught off guard at the beginning.

Later, he wanted to use the relationship of the Jia family to make Lin Ruhai stop, but he didn't expect Lin Ruhai not only ignored it, but targeted the Zhen family even more, which caused their Zhen family to suffer heavy losses.

Thinking that this time apart from their Zhen family, the other forces did not have much loss, and he even suspected that Lin Ruhai was coming for their Zhen family from the beginning.

I just don't know if Lin Ruhai's behavior is his own intention or from the emperor's instructions.

"Why is it meaningless, hum, Lin Ruhai don't think about it!" The county lord of Qingpu gritted his teeth and said that he was about to go out.

"Slow!" Zhen Yingjia hurriedly called his wife.

"The key now is not in Jiangnan, but in the capital, and those vacant positions in Jiangnan officialdom, especially Lin Ruhai's position, we must get it."

"You immediately write to Qing'er to see if the three princes can participate, and if our people can't, push the people of the three princes to this position."

"Now is an extraordinary time, don't do it at this time, you don't have to lose a big one because of a small one, and when we have an opportunity in the future, we will slowly clean them up."

After Zhen Yingjia's many persuasions, he dispelled the mind of the county lord of Qingpu to teach Lin Ruhai a lesson again, but looking at the unwilling face of the county lord of Qingpu, I am afraid that he will not give up easily.

"The Jia family also has to write to ask the Jia family what they think, in the past, we looked at the face of the Jia family, so we didn't embarrass Lin Ruhai, but now it's good, Lin Ruhai actually stabbed us in the back."

"Don't worry, master, I will deal with it on the Jia family's side, don't forget that Yuanchun of their family is still with the old lady." The county lord of Qingpu said extremely angrily.

"Don't blame too much, you still have to win over the Jia family and try to make them give up Lin Ruhai." Zhen Yingjia immediately said, after all, the Jia family still has a certain strength in Beijing, and it will not be good if it is forced to Lin Ruhai's side.

"Don't worry, master, I'll take care of this matter." The county lord of Qingpu took the initiative to take over this errand.

The county lord of Qingpu then asked people to send a letter to the Jia family in Beijing, telling them that Lin Ruhai had committed a big crime and that his life was not long, so that they could quickly clear up the relationship with the Lin family, and also vaguely threatened the Jia family with Jia Yuanchun.

Then she asked the Jia family to branch next to a few rooms in Jinling and send a letter to Beijing, telling Ning Rong's second mansion that their tribe in Jinling was also targeted by Lin Ruhai and suffered heavy losses.

In the end, the king of Qingpu still felt that she couldn't just let Lin Ruhai go, after all, she lost a lot of money this time, so she thought of the property accumulated by the Lin family for several generations, as well as the silver that Lin Ruhai had made in the salt government over the years, and thought that she could borrow the hand of the Jia family to transfer the property of the Lin family, so that she could not only take revenge, but also make up for some losses.

Immediately, she began to write a letter to Mrs. Wang, the second wife of the Jia family, planning this matter, and promised that if the Lin family's silver was in hand, she would persuade the old lady in the palace to promote Jia Yuanchun and promote Yuanchun's position in the palace.

Since Lu Jing knew that it was Lin Ruhai who was assassinated by the Zhen family, he had been guarding against the Zhen family, after all, Lin Ruhai was still a member of the imperial court, and the Zhen family had limited means to use against Lin Ruhai.

But now he is just a lifter, and the Lu family refused to marry the Zhen family back then, and he was worried that the Zhen family would take action against him.

However, after waiting for so many days, I didn't see the Zhen family make a move, Lu Jing estimated that the Zhen family is now trying their best to overthrow Lin Ruhai, and they can't spare their hands to deal with him for the time being, and maybe they don't bother to deal with a small person like him.

However, Lu Jing did not take it lightly, and ordered his subordinates to pay close attention to the movements of the Zhen family, and the province was caught off guard by the Zhen family.

On this day, Lu Jing came to Lin Ruhai's mansion again, and saw that Lin Ruhai was a little uneasy, so he asked, "The teacher is worried about Sister Lin?" ”

"Yes, I don't know how Yu'er is now, Lin Zhong set off a month ago, and there should be news when the time is calculated!" Lin Ruhai said worriedly.

During this time, he spent all his energy on Jiangnan affairs, but sent Lin Zhong into Beijing to inform the Jia family and let them take good care of Daiyu, and at the same time instructed the Jia family that if something happened to him, the Jia family must treat Daiyu well.

Now that his plan has basically succeeded, the only thing he is worried about now is Daiyu, and I don't know how Daiyu will be worried after knowing about the affairs in Yangzhou.

At the same time, he was also a little worried, not sure if the Jia family would live up to his hard work, if it wasn't for the Jia family to be less involved with the Zhen family this time, he wouldn't have taken the liberty of doing something to the Zhen family.

This also made his operation extremely difficult this time, if it weren't for the account book given to him by Lu Jing at a critical moment, I'm afraid he would have been planted in the hands of the Zhen family this time.

"The teacher is worried that the Jia family will not be able to protect Sister Lin?" Lu Jing asked, he naturally knew that what Lin Ruhai was really worried about was not only Lin Daiyu's safety, but also the choice of the Jia family.

Although Jiangnan is calm now, the undercurrent is turbulent, and the real game has just begun, and the vacated positions in Jiangnan officialdom are the key, and it is estimated that no one dares to act rashly before the imperial court makes a decision.

Lin Ruhai has now offended half of the Jiangnan officialdom, and at the same time, he has also offended the forces behind these officials, especially the Zhen family and the king of Nan'an.

According to the news from Beijing, although the assassination of Lin Ruhai has reached the capital, the momentum of those forces to impeach Lin Ruhai has become even higher, and even some more deadly charges have been poured on Lin Ruhai.

If they are really confirmed by these charges, I am afraid that Lin Ruhai will not be able to escape from the crime of raiding his family and exterminating his family.

Now Emperor Yuan Yong has not shown a clear attitude, and he has also given hints to many people.

Now only Lin Ruhai's friends in the DPRK and China are defending Lin Ruhai, and the momentum is quite insufficient, if it weren't for Lin Ruhai's assassination, I'm afraid the situation would have collapsed long ago.

Now that the two sides of the court are attacking each other, no one can help anyone, and it can be a tie, but Lin Ruhai and Jiang Nan are always the center of this whirlpool.
