41. Cover the sky with one hand

"General Lin, there are two scholars from the Restoration Society outside the door who ask to see you."

As soon as Li Wei left, the messenger guarding the post house hurriedly came to report.

After twice the hot tea, Lin Yu's wine had already woken up for the most part, so Jiang Ruhua tidied up his clothes and sat in the guest room, waiting for the guests.

Although he is also known as the "Four Sons of the Late Ming Dynasty", Chen Zhenhui is much older, and he has reached the age of not being confused. ”

Fang Yizhi is in his early thirties, wearing a straight embellished, wearing a square scarf, a hand-cranked folding fan, and the style of a Confucian master, followed Chen Zhenhui to give a salute: "Student Fang Yizhi meets General Lin!" ”

Both of these people have meritorious reputations, Chen Zhenhui once won the second place in the "Township Test", is a lifter, and her career is not smooth, and later joined the Restoration Society.

And Fang Yizhi was once a jinshi, was summoned by Emperor Chongzhen, and was awarded low-level official positions such as the Ministry of Industry and the review of the Hanlin Academy. And Fang Yizhi's most brilliant resume is that he once served as a lecturer for King Ding and King Yong (Chongzhen's son).

After Chongzhen hanged the coal mountain, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui, and Hou Fangyu gathered in Nanjing, but they were persecuted by Ruan Dacheng, who hated the Donglin Party; Hou Fangyu and Lao Yan flew separately and went away, and Chen Zhenhui and Fang Yizhi were also struggling.

Chen Zhenhui got straight to the point: "We admired the general's deeds after learning from Brother Hou, the general is determined to recover the mountains and rivers, and we are willing to serve the general's dogs and horses, let it be driven!" ”

Lin Yu was overjoyed, and ordered Xi'er to pour tea for the two: "I have heard the two names for a long time, the general has been approved to reform the military system, and another day I will ask the Son of Heaven for the right to open the government and govern affairs. ”

Fang Yizhi said again: "We have already followed what Brother Hou said, and the brothers who organized the restoration society took to the streets to publicize General Lin's exploits, and I dare not say that everyone in Nanjing is well known, at least the city is full of storms. ”

"Great, so I'm not afraid that Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying will be unfavorable to Ben General!" Lin Yu had already made a good excuse, so naturally he wouldn't let them know that he was actually spreading his reputation to earn gold coins.

While Fang and Chen were tasting tea, Lin Yu quietly clicked on the palm of his left hand to check, only to see that the gold coins he currently owned had reached 674498, and the price had skyrocketed by 400,000 in just half a day, this Nanjing City is really a gold mine!

Fang Yizhi put down the tea bowl and said angrily: "Presumably, General Lin already knows about the Fang Yu brothers being arrested by the Ruan family, and we have come to ask the general to rescue him." ”

Lin Yu comforted the two: "Not only was Brother Hou arrested, even my brother-in-law was arrested by Ruan Dacheng's son and sent into the mansion." ”

Xi'er next to her interjected: "Our young master is only thirteen years old this year, this Ruan family is really too deceitful!" ”

Chen Zhenhui and Fang Yizhi were even more indignant when they heard this, and they brushed together: "General Lin, this Ruan Dacheng is really arrogant, he covers the sky with one hand in Nanjing City, and his eyes are lawless, you must impeach him in front of the Son of Heaven." ”

"Covering the sky with one hand?"

Lin Yu's face was grim, and he slowly took a sip of the strong tea in his hand, "He has such a great ability?" ”

Fang Yizhi said hatefully: "No, Ruan Dacheng has been operating in Nanjing for many years, he has both money, power and fame, three-tenths of the green buildings in Nanjing City are his Ruan family's industry, in addition to running pawn shops, grocery stores, medicinal herb stores and other industries......

If any shop threatens the Ruan family's business, Ruan Dacheng will send someone to smash and make trouble, coerce and lure, and either force the other party to move or annex it.

If there is a new girl in any Qinglou, it must be dedicated to Ruan Dacheng for inspection first, otherwise this girl will want to mix in Nanjing, and the Qinglou will have to close the door, it is said that Ruan Dacheng has dozens of lives on his hands. ”

"Tsk...... Sure enough, people can't look good, it seems that I underestimate Ruan Dacheng a little! Lin Yu held the tea bowl in both hands, wondering how to get Hou Fangyu and his brother-in-law out of the Ruan family?

Chen Zhenhui sighed and said: "Don't look at Ma Shiying is now the first assistant of the cabinet, but you also have to sell Ruan Dacheng a few thin noodles." Ying Tianwei now only has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the market hooligans, ruffians, and evil people in Ruan Dacheng's hands add up to no less than 10,000 people. ”

Jiang Ruhua personally poured tea for Fang and Chen: "Don't worry, the husband has already sent someone to take the post to the Ruan Mansion to ask for someone." As an official in the same dynasty, I think Ruan Dacheng should give a few thin noodles. ”

Chen Zhenhui looked worried: "Young Master Jiang is General Lin's brother-in-law and the nephew of the Shi Pavilion Department, so Ruan Dacheng naturally won't embarrass him." It's just that Brother Hou is difficult to say, but I'm afraid that the Ruan family and his son may not be willing to let him go out easily. ”

"Why?" Lin Yu turned the tea bowl in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "He Ruan Dacheng still dares to set up a private court, and he can't do it without regard to people's lives?" ”

Fang Yizhi explained: "Last winter, Ruan Dacheng used the name of the palace to requisition the dancing queen to add Brother Hou's concubine Li Xiangjun to the list, and Brother Hou was unwilling to hide his concubine. Ruan Dacheng went to Dali Temple to sue his brothers for disobeying the order, and he is still a fugitive, and now that he has fallen into the hands of Ruan's father and son, how can he be easily released? ”

"Don't worry, even if Ruan's Mansion is a Longtan Tiger's Den, I, Lin Zhenjiang, will fish out Hou Gongzi!"

Lin Yu took the case and said categorically, "Since Hou Fangyu works for me, he is my person, if anyone dares to embarrass him, first ask my ironclad car if he agrees?" ”

Li Wei came to Ruan's mansion with Lin Yu's post, and after receiving a few words of scolding, he presented the post: "My lord is the new Huaiyuan general Lin Zhenjiang, and there is a post handed over to Ruan Shilang, please raise your hand." ”

The housekeeper of Ruan's Mansion took the post with a yawn and looked at it, "Wait, I'll go and see if the master is asleep?" ”

Feeling Ma Shiying's dissatisfaction, Ruan Dacheng was a little apprehensive in his heart, drank a few more drinks in the palace, and prepared to go to bed without even taking a shower when he got home, but he heard that someone came to ask for someone with a post of "General Huaiyuan".

Ruan Dacheng put on a long robe, and after reading the post, he sent someone to the "Warm Spring Pavilion" to find his son Ruan Xiaocheng who was shuang/flying: "You just arrest Hou Fangyu, why did you arrest Lin Zhenjiang's brother-in-law as well?" ”

Ruan Xiaocheng dangled the folding fan, looking disapproving: "This kid is nosy, don't teach him a lesson, I don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has!" ”

"Let this Jiang Jibang go, and leave Hou Fangyu behind!" Ruan Dacheng waved his hand impatiently.

Ruan Xiaocheng looked disdainful: "What? Could it be that Daddy is still afraid that this Lin Zhenjiang will not succeed? ”

Ruan Dacheng sighed depressedly: "This Lin Zhenjiang has just broken Jiannu, and today he has been favored by the treasure and was named the general Huaiyuan from the third grade, and he is in the limelight." What's more, there is a Shi Kefa standing behind him, so let's not offend them. ”

Ruan Xiaocheng could only admit it, and ordered the dog legs to release Jiang Jibang in the water prison and Zhang Daniu, who was injured in the dungeon, leaving only Hou Fangyu, a prisoner, and sending him to Dali Temple tomorrow.

Deng Guantian, the temple secretary of Dali Temple, has a very secret relationship with Ruan Dacheng, and Hou Fangyu is indeed a criminal who disobeys the holy decree, so he is not afraid of Lin Yuxing's questioning, even if he makes trouble in the Jinluan Palace, he is not afraid of him!

Although his limbs were swollen from being soaked in the water prison, he heard that he would only let himself go, but Jiang Jibang was very righteous: "The soft worm raised by the son of a bitch is scared, right?" Master, how can I give up my brother and run for my own life, let it go together, otherwise my brother-in-law will come to level your Ruan Mansion tonight! ”

The dogleg returned to Ruan Xiaocheng, and Ruan Xiaocheng was furious when he heard this: "Give him a shameless thing, then let him soak in the water, I still don't believe that Lin Zhenjiang can have three heads and six arms?" ”
