Chapter Eighty-Five: Walk the Talk
If anyone else dares to say that Lin Ruhai is loyal to his ex-wife and has never touched a woman again, Jia Cong has to wait for him with big ears.
As far as he knows, the concubines who followed Lin Ruhai were basically sent by Yangzhou salt merchants, and they were all carefully cultivated concubines by salt merchants, not the so-called 'thin horses' and the like.
But once Lin Ruhai hindered them from lying down and earning money, he still poisoned him unceremoniously, ignoring the idea of friendship with his daughter.
Back in the cabin, Jia Cong wasted no time and began to prepare the outline of the new novel.
Since he said in Yangzhou No. 1 Restaurant that he wanted to teach those salt merchants a profound lesson, he naturally would not break his promise.
Although with the help of Lin Ruhai's poisoning, he easily got out of the big fire pit of Yangzhou Salt Administration, and the original contradiction with the Salt Merchants Association was not so intense.
But who is Jia Cong?
The plug-in people with gold fingers said that if they want to give Yangzhou salt merchants a good look, they must be made miserable.
Nima, dare to threaten Rongguo Mansion!
It is really a turtle-like existence, relying on silver to become a top existence in Yangzhou, can it really step into the top power class in Daqing?
Dreams don't do that.
No matter how miserable the Rongguo Mansion is, it is also a member of the Eight Princes family, and it is a top noble class, and the resources that can be mobilized are definitely not what those salt merchants can imagine.
Just from the fact that Wang Xifeng took the lawsuit for others, and even easily obtained the favor of the envoy of the Chang'an Festival, it can be known that the energy of the top nobles is huge.
Of course, the resources of Rongguo Mansion have nothing to do with Jia Cong, and he can't call them at all.
But if the Rongguo Mansion is unlucky, he, a big housemate, will also be unlucky.
Although he can't look down on the idea of the turtle of Yangzhou salt merchants, no one can predict how powerful the big man behind them is, and Rongguo Mansion can't stand the toss on the surface.
After returning to the capital, Jia Cong still has to live a small and transparent life, but he doesn't want to become a thorn in the old lady's side before he is an adult.
Once some bigwigs of Rongguo Mansion were deflated in the court, and they knew that the source of this incident was caused by Jia Cong, the consequences could be imagined.
The big house can easily deal with it, after all, the big man is an out-and-out otaku, and he basically won't provoke right and wrong outside, and the officials in the court want to target it, and they have to weigh it carefully.
The Emperor is not dead!
As the emperor's hardcore, if the Xungui group is deliberately targeted by the court bosses, it is likely to cause the dissatisfaction of the mentally sensitive emperor, and the consequences are not for fun.
Of course, the Eight Princes and Guigui Group, as well as the four major families of Jinling headed by Wang Ziteng at this time, are not easy to provoke, and the price they want to pay for the big house is too great.
The second room is better targeted!
First, Jia Zheng's name as a family member is not right, how do you think that the family of Rongguo Mansion should belong to the eldest master, Jia Zheng was a little embarrassed to be forcibly pushed to the position by the old lady.
Naturally, there is nothing to do in ordinary times, and no one will be idle enough to take care of the internal affairs of Rongguo Mansion.
But if you really want to target it from outside, this is a big trick.
Also, the second master of politics is quite obsessed with officialdom, although his own ability is quite average, and he can even be described as mediocre, but he can't stand his self-motivation.
After Jia Cong's 'mention' before, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, who has been mixed into the five products, must want to go further after tasting the sweetness.
Since you are in the officialdom, it is easier to target.
Once the second master is sniped, no matter what the final result is, it will definitely attract the attention of the old lady and the second wife, and at this time, Jia Cong's 'role' will surface, and there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.
The old lady just gave it back, at most she completely ignored Jia Cong, but the second lady would not give up easily, and she could do anything vicious.
Don't doubt the second wife's methods, look at Wang Xifeng's style of acting, you can get a glimpse of some of Mrs. Wang's methods, which are definitely sharper and more vicious than Wang Xifeng.
It's not that Jia Cong is afraid of anyone, it's just that he doesn't want to get involved in the internal house dispute in Rongguo Mansion, it's too much waste of time and energy.
With that kind of effort, it is better to write a few more novels in exchange for greater popularity, which is all precious luck.
……
Five large ships full of valuables and people could not go fast at all.
Although Yangzhou is not far from Jinling, it took several days.
When he arrived at Jinling Wharf, the Jinling government only sent a fellow intellectual, and Jia Yucun, as the prefect of Jinling, did not show up at all.
Lin Ruhai didn't have any opinion on this, and Jia Cong naturally didn't talk too much and poured salt into Lin Ruhai's wounds.
The four major families of Jinling did not send representatives over, as if Lin Ruhai's official position of the Ministry of Rites was rubbish.
A bunch of fools!
If you change to a scholar family, you can't still offer Lin Ruhai as an ancestor?
The right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, but he can have a great say in the imperial examination policy, and there is no need to mention the importance of scholars.
It's just that the four major families in Jinling are all local powerful forces, although they are affected by the atmosphere of the prosperous literary style in the south of the Yangtze River, they can be too far behind the real family in terms of cultivating the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the children of the family to study.
It was Xue Pan's house, surrounded by a large group of fierce and vicious little brothers with big waists and round waists, and they came up.
"Hello boss, this is Uncle Lin Shi, I'm Xue Pan, the head of the Xue family!"
Lin Ruhai was a little crying and laughing, although he had already known from Brother Cong that his younger brother Xue Pan was a little lacking in heart, but he didn't expect the dignified head of the Xue family to be so reckless.
Nodding slightly, he didn't think Xue Pan's behavior was rude, but he had a little more affection, at least it was much easier to contact such a reckless guy who showed everything than to communicate with the treacherous and cunning Yangzhou salt merchants.
After Lin Ruhai greeted Jinling Tongzhi and declined the invitation to stay at the post house, he got into the carriage under Xue Pan's arrangement and went to the Xue family's manor outside the city for temporary repairs.
In addition to recuperating his body, he also waited for the follow-up investigation team, and then returned to the capital together, and there was a good response on the way.
This is a private request from the head of the investigation team, the right attendant of the Criminal Department.
There was no way, what happened on the canal when I came, so that the investigation team had lingering palpitations, and they didn't dare to relax at all.
Their trip was to find fault with Yangzhou salt merchants and local forces.
No one dares to guarantee that the local Haoqiang in Yangzhou will be stimulated and will do anything crazy.
Especially knowing that Lin Ruhai encountered three waves of ambushes in one day, he was even more uneasy in his heart, and it was safer to mix with Lin Ruhai, the master of the 'Hongfu Qitian', and the head of the Xue family with hundreds of guards around him.
Jia Cong's arrogant behavior also made them see extraordinary confidence. With nearly a hundred younger brothers and Yangzhou salt merchants, he fell out and retreated, this kind of ability is not ordinary......
