As long as the old lady is suspicious, she will naturally send her confidants, or directly write to ask the Jincai couple who stayed in the old house.

When the authenticity of the matter is confirmed, will the old lady still give the Jinling clan a good face?

Jia Cong is not good at completely falling out with the elders of the Jinling clan, the old lady doesn't have such problems, and she can make the Jinling clan go around without eating if she makes a casual move.

When he returned to his temporary residence in the Xue family manor and visited Lin Ruhai, he told Jia Cong a puzzling news: "Zhen Yingjia has been here before!" ”

"What is he doing here?"

Frowning, Jia Cong was full of curiosity, glanced at Lin Ruhai, who looked normal, and said with a smile: "Mo No, let's ridicule my uncle!" ”

"You kid, what nonsense!"

； Lin Ruhai smiled dumbly, pointed at Jia Cong and said angrily: "Zhen Yingjia is a person in the officialdom after all, but he understands much more than Yangzhou salt merchants, he is here to ask my opinion on Yangzhou salt politics!" ”

Laugh at......

Hearing this, Jia Cong couldn't help but sneer, unconcealed the disdain in his heart, and sneered: "This is, I feel that I have the opportunity to regain my official position in Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History, and I don't know where I got my confidence?" ”

Lin Ruhai smiled silently, and the look on his face was also quite subtle.

Just kidding, who doesn't know that Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History is a big fat difference?

For officials like Lin Ruhai who have a bottom line and are not greedy for money, according to him, they have at least nearly 100,000 taels of income in the normal New Year's Festival.

If you are a little greedy, or collude with salt merchants, you can easily reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a year.

This is also Lin Ruhai's previous Yangzhou salt patrol imperial history, 70% of them poured blood mold because of greed, and the other 30% were unwilling to go along with the pollution, and they were sent to prison by Yangzhou salt merchants for a way, and the end was quite bad.

In other words, Lin Ruhai is also stained with the light of the emperor's struggle with today, otherwise no matter how powerful his wrist is, he will inevitably cause a commotion in the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History.

This position is so fat that no matter which emperor is in power, he will not be at ease to let an official sit in charge for a long time.

The only exception is the Zhen family in Jinling, because of the emperor's southern tour four times, in order to make up for the huge financial deficit that occurred, the emperor specially asked the Zhen family to be in charge of the salt administration for decades, which is simply a naked order to be greedy and dirty.

In these years alone, the income that the Zhen family has secretly obtained can be calculated in units of at least 10 million taels.

After a long time, the Zhen family even regarded the official position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History as a family inheritance, but it was directly taken down more than ten years ago, where is the willingness in my heart?

Later, in the imperial history of Yangzhou Salt Patrol, including Lin Ruhai, at least half or even nearly half of the troubles encountered were all the handiwork of the Zhen family.

Lin Ruhai knew this in his heart, and he had communicated with Jia Cong before, and his relationship with the Zhen family was definitely not good.

No one expected that Zhen Yingjia, the contemporary head of the Zhen family, would visit Lin Ruhai at this time and ask about Yangzhou Yanzheng.

Could it be that he thinks that there is still the possibility of getting involved in the imperial history of Yangzhou Salt Patrol?

Dream on!

As long as he reigns for one day today, the Zhen family will not have such a possibility!

Not to mention, Suzhou Weaving, which is the same as Yangzhou Salt Administration, is in the hands of the Zhen family, even if the emperor is in power, it is impossible for them to be in charge of salt administration and weaving at the same time.

"Forget it!"

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said disappreciably: "Whatever he does, it has little to do with us!" ”

After getting out of Yangzhou Yanzheng 'smoothly', he was reluctant to mention any topics related to Yanzheng, and his psychological shadow area was not small.

Jia Cong didn't mean to let it go easily, and didn't pester Zhen Yingjia, the faint first person in Jinling, but kept asking Lin Ruhai some inside information about salt politics.

For example, the salt farm, which is firmly controlled by the merchants, and the relevant situation of the salt farmers.

Another example is the whole set of procedures for salt merchants to sell official salt, and the means they can operate, even the matter of carrying illegal salt.

Lin Ruhai was so entangled that he had no choice but to explain in detail one by one.

In any case, he has done five salt patrols, and he basically knows the methods of salt merchants, and the doorways inside are even clearer.

Explained in detail, a few days pass in the blink of an eye.

……

On this day, Lin Ruhai dragged the sick body, and under the protection of Jia Cong and Xue Pan, as well as a cadre of the Lin family and the Xue family, he came to Jinling Wharf again.

Today is the time for the arrival of the investigation team, and whether or not they were separated a few days ago, there is no shortage of respect to be given.

This time, Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling, also came, and the two only greeted each other lightly, without much enthusiasm and no intention of communication.

It is very understandable, with the character of Jia Yucun, when he met Lin Ruhai, the benefactor of the year, he must be full of unhappiness at this time, how can he still have the heart to step forward and greet him warmly?

Not to mention that he is also a dignified member of the third grade, just because Lin Ruhai is evil today, and he doesn't have to expect much success in the future, Jia Yucun naturally has no intention of making friends.

That is to say, Lin Ruhai is still the right attendant of the Sanpin Rite Department at the moment, otherwise, Jia Yucun may be about to fall into the ground, don't think that he can't do it.

When the official ship of the investigation team arrived, the group hurriedly greeted them.

It's just that the faces of the investigation team are not very good, and the atmosphere on the dock is not warm, and they hurriedly parted after a while.

"Brother Ruhai, after we return to Beijing, don't make a good deal with each other!"

Lin Ruhai was invited to go to the post house together, and in private, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, the head of the investigation team, complained helplessly: "The water over there in Yangzhou is too deep!" ”

When he said this, he did not shy away from Jia Cong next to him.

Lin Ruhai was silent, since he had already jumped out of the big fire pit of Yangzhou Yanzheng, he was naturally unwilling to continue to participate.

As for Jia Cong, he couldn't help but pouted secretly, and was very disdainful of the officials of the investigation team headed by the right servant of the Criminal Department.

Nima, it would be fine if these guys really came forward to investigate, but these guys are completely putting on a posture of being a mess, and it would be too hypocritical to say anything that is difficult to explain.

I haven't done anything in the first place, what do I need to explain to the above?

Explain how to travel in the mountains and rivers, and how to enjoy the various tastes of the rich and gentle township in the south of the Yangtze River?

Now there is still a face to say that it is difficult to explain, and it is shameless to be capitalized.

"Then when will we leave Jinling and return to the capital?"

Lin Ruhai didn't answer at all, and directly asked the question of concern: "Jinling is not very peaceful here, before the head of the Zhen family, President Zhen also asked me about the truth of Yangzhou Salt Administration, obviously I also have the intention of participating in it, it is better to leave early!" ”

"Is there such a thing?"

The right attendant of the Criminal Department, as well as the other two principal officials of the investigation team, were taken aback......
