Chapter Seventy-Nine: 'Heaven's Damnation'
There is no turning back from the bow!
Lin Ruhai inspected the salt farms in Yangzhou, and brought more than 100 guards with him, giving many people opportunities.
The undercurrent in Yangzhou City was turbulent, and a salt merchant held a secret meeting, and the officials associated with it also frequently contacted secretly, and soon reached some tacit understanding.
A depressing atmosphere shrouded the sky over Yangzhou.
At this time, in the post house, the minister of the Qin Mission and the officials of the investigation team sat on wax, and were forced into a dilemma by Lin Ruhai's sudden and drastic methods.
This time, it was hard to move back to the chain of the inn.
Although he didn't sneer to his face, he clearly felt that he was alienated again.
The boss of the investigation team, who is also his immediate boss, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, specially asked him to go over for questioning, wanting to find out the true intentions of his uncle Lin Ruhai.
How else can Chain Er answer, he can only reply according to the meaning of the third brother's explanation: "Previously, due to various reasons, there were many loopholes in the salt tax, and Uncle Lin just took advantage of the minister of the Qin Dispatch to sort out here, so that the imperial court could not check the accounts in the future!" ”
The right attendant of the Criminal Department could only laugh bitterly when he heard this, Lin Ruhai's thoughts like this are normal, and no one is happy to be unlucky because of the problems of others in the future.
It's just that......
In this way, not only the minister, but also the investigation team is also very difficult.
Another point, the forces behind the salt merchants are not a joke, if Lin Ruhai does too much, maybe some people will jump over the wall in a hurry.
He said this meaning vaguely, and Lian Er's face was so frightened that he almost urinated, and the whole person was in a trance.
His reaction made the right attendant of the Criminal Department and several officials in charge of the investigation team extinguish their suspicions, and they could only secretly say that they were unlucky.
This is also the purpose of Jia Cong who didn't call Chain Er to know too much!
With the current city government of Chain 2 and the authority brought by the official position are seriously insufficient, it is better not to get involved in certain things, it is good for him and everyone.
At least, the chain two, who eliminated the suspicion on his body, was still snubbed by his colleagues in the investigation team, but he was not hit or secretly targeted.
……
On this day, the wind was fierce, the sky was dark, and it was still noon, and the visibility was less than 20 meters.
Under the protection of hundreds of guards, Lin Ruhai, the imperial historian of Yangzhou Salt Patrol, is inspecting a salt field outside Yangzhou City, regardless of the heavy rain that is about to fall. ,
Because there was a big problem with the accounts of the merchants in the salt farm, the irregularities were found by the accompanying bookkeeper, Lin Ruhai directly arrested and sealed the accounts without saying a word, and waited for the details to be investigated in the future before being convicted.
Bang!
Suddenly, a thunderclap exploded, and the sky seemed to leak a big hole, and the head of the rain fell down, and in the blink of an eye, the guards around Lin Ruhai were poured into soup.
"Uncle, the weather is not good to continue traveling, let's go back quickly!"
Jia Cong wore a hat and said to Lin Ruhai in the sedan chair: "This piece of salt is almost investigated, don't be too anxious!" ”
In the past few days, he has been by Lin Ruhai's side, while seeing the salt merchants' methods of collecting money and the operation mode of the related interest chain; On the other hand, he personally protects Lin Ruhai's safety.
At first, Lin Ruhai didn't agree, and asked a young man under the age of ten to protect his safety, but would he be embarrassed to spread it?
Jia Cong didn't say a word, just happened to be no one around, so he directly picked up a piece of hundreds of catties of rockery in the back garden of the Imperial Salt Mansion, threw it up and caught it, and went back and forth more than a dozen times, directly shocking Lin Ruhai stupidly, and then reached an agreement very happily.
Although in the past few days, because of the sudden action, he has not given the slightest chance for the merchants in the salt works to react, and has not encountered any danger, but Jia Cong has no intention of leaving.
Of course, in the process of inspecting the salt works in Yangzhou, many means and the operation of the interest chain also opened his eyes, and he bluntly said that there was a lot of writing material.
Lin Ruhai only thought it was his joke and didn't take it seriously.
The rain was so heavy that it was hard to see just a few steps.
The hundreds of guards in the group were all embarrassed, and there was no way to put up a warning formation like usual, and if they were a little far away, they might even get lost.
Fortunately, Yangzhou is rich, the official road is well built and maintained, and it is not so difficult to move forward along the official road.
When he was about to pass by the official road between two small mountains and forests, suddenly there was a loud rumbling sound, followed by the earth shaking, shaking the trees, and the muddy water rushing down.
Is this a landslide or a mudslide?
The group stopped at the intersection of mountains and forests, and watched this scene in amazement by the faint light of the sky.
Even the 'well-informed' Jia Cong couldn't help but open his mouth wide to show a look of surprise.
Whether it's a mudslide or a landslide, it's unlikely that he will pay much attention, but the key is......
What the hell is Nima, the man who was washed down the mountain forest with hundreds of black suits, accompanied by overturning trees and rushing muddy water, screaming miserably?
"Help......"
Seeing the group parked at the entrance of the official road in the mountains and forests, many black-clothed men shouted for help, which was called miserable.
The guards of the Imperial Salt Residence were silent, as if they had been immobilized by a spell, and they looked at the unlucky men in black in front of them speechless.
Nima, they are not stupid, how can they not see that these unlucky bastards should be the strong beams who ambushed them.
It's just that they were too unlucky, and they encountered a natural disaster such as a landslide, and before they could do it, they were completely unlucky.
"Brother Cong, what's wrong?"
Lin Ruhai's spirit has been very tense, and when he heard the screams and cries in front of him, as well as the strange atmosphere around him, he couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing!"
Jia Cong smiled strangely, and his voice was also very strange: "A group of strong beams who are ready to ambush us have been punished by God!" ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh wildly, and when the mudslide in the mountains and forests in front of him stopped, he commanded the guards of the Salt Imperial History Mansion to drag out the man in black who was still alive.
At this time, the guards of the Salt Patrol Imperial History Mansion were all in high spirits and their morale was rising, and Jia Cong's sentence of "punished by heaven" shook their hearts, as if they had a little more sacredness.
Isn't it, Lord Lin is the stars in the sky, so there is heavenly protection?
There was no need to interrogate, the group of men in black who were still alive after the impact of the mudslide were already having a mental breakdown at this time, and they poured out everything with just a little inquiry.
They are indeed strong beams who are ready to ambush Lin Ruhai!
As for who is behind it, they don't know!
"Uncle, don't worry, it's just a bunch of clowns!"
Jia Cong stood beside the sedan chair and comforted: "It must have nothing to do with those salt merchants!" ”
Despite this, Lin Ruhai was still shocked and angry, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want those guys to be so bold and reckless, and dare to collude with bandits to ambush the court officials!" ”
Jia Cong didn't answer, but he was very disapproving......
