Chapter 512: Begging for mercy

"When will the ship from Linjiadao arrive?"

"I should be on my way here now! The subordinates received a message three days ago, and they arrived at Ningbo Port in about five days! The servants we withdrew from the sold Zhuangzi shop should also arrive in Ningbo one after another at this time! The Shadow replied.

"Excellent! Let's go first, and I'm a little more sure! As for the servants in the Treasure Workshop and the Pavilion of Curiosities, don't be in a hurry to withdraw for now, and then arrange for them to go to Linjia Island when Yu'er finds the right person to take over! ”

"Then it may be after the master, you go to Linjia Island!"

"It's okay, anyway, no one in the Treasure Shop and the Strange Things Pavilion knows who the owner is behind the scenes, and suddenly changing the shopkeeper will make people suspicious, it's better to take it slowly and not attract attention!"

Lin Ruhai arranged some trivial things for the shadow and then let the shadow leave, while he continued to stay in the secret room to see the evidence of Zhen Yingjia's guilt collected by Qin Huanyan. Over the years, Lin Ruhai has been in charge of Yan Zheng, and he has successively found some evidence of Zhen Yingjia's crimes through the Liu family, but most of them are indirect, and there are almost no direct confirmations of Zhen Yingjia's crimes. Qin Huanyan has been by Zhen Yingjia's side for less than two years, and it is not easy to find so much evidence. The most difficult thing is that there is an unburned piece of paper among them, although the content written on this piece of paper is not exhaustive, but it just proves that Zhen Yingjia and Zhao Qian have colluded. Just such a small piece of paper is enough for Zhen Yingjia to destroy the Nine Clans! Lin Ruhai felt that with the secret military intelligence report sent to the capital by Liu Cheng, Zhen Yingjia would have no power to turn over this time!

Lin Ruhai packed these incriminating evidence in an oiled paper bag, found fire paint and sealed it, and planned to send it to the capital as soon as possible after going to the government the next day. After putting the things into the secret compartment, Lin Ruhai was about to go back to the mountain residence to rest, but the door of the study was knocked at this time.

"Come in!"

Lin Xing entered in response, first saluted Lin Ruhai, and then said: "Master, the old lady of the Fang family and the old master of the Fang family are here, and they are now waiting in the gatehouse!" ”

Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Xing, "What are they doing at this time?" ”

"The minions don't know! These two didn't hand over the greeting post when they came, and when they came, they said that they had to see the master right away if they had something important! ”

Lin Ruhai thought about the reason why Old Lady Fang and Master Fang came to visit at this time, but he still couldn't confirm what their purpose was. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Lin Xing: "Lead them to the side hall, I'll go over to see them later!" ”

Lin Ruhai knew that Old Lady Fang was extremely good at camping, and he must have noticed something to suddenly visit the Marquis of Wenyuan's mansion. However, after Lin Ruhai thought about it, he decided to dig up some more evidence of Zhen Yingjia's crimes from the Fang family, which could be regarded as adding some political achievements to his position as a salt patrol. In fact, he was about to leave Daming, and it was useless for him to have more political achievements, just to create some good reputation for the Lin family before leaving. Lin Ruhai wants the Lin family to be remembered by the world, and let the contributions made by the Lin family on this land be praised by the world, which is his ambition as the head of the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai laughed at himself when he thought of this, he, the head of the Lin family, was already a thing of the past, and the current head of the Lin family was his eldest son Lin Lang, Lin Ruhai believed that his son had the ability to lead the Lin family to a more brilliant tomorrow.

Lin Ruhai came to the side hall in front of him with brisk steps, and as soon as he stepped into the door of the side hall, he saw Old Lady Fang staggering forward a few steps under the help of Master Fang, and the two knelt in front of him with a pop.

"Lord Lin! The old man is here to make amends to Lord Lin! Ask Lord Lin a lot to give the Fang family a chance to make amends, and the Fang family is willing to do their best to serve Lord Lin! ”

Lin Ruhai guessed that Old Lady Fang might have learned about Zhen Yingjia's trouble, so he hurriedly came to him, Old Lady Fang wanted to hug the Lin family and the big driftwood, trying to let the Fang family escape.

Lin Ruhai glanced at the father and son on the ground expressionlessly, walked past them without saying a word, sat down on the top, took the tea bowl offered by the maid and drank tea relaxedly.

Old lady Fang had just learned about Zhen Yingjia's 150,000 troops outside Jinling City, and immediately realized that this time the Zhen family was on a desperate road, and the Fang family must immediately clear up the relationship with the Zhen family, and the best way is to come to Lin Ruhai for help, only he can do something in the evidence reported to the imperial court and erase what their Fang family has done. It was not so easy to ask Delin Ruhai to let them go, and the Fang family had to pay a great price. But today's Fang family is not what it used to be, two years ago, Dong Fang personally promised that by the end of the year, he would give the Fang family some salt according to the situation, as appropriate, to make up for the gap in their salt farm. But at the end of the year, Dong Fang told them that he had an accident in the salt well in Shuzhong, and suffered heavy losses, and the salt produced by several salt drying farms was barely enough for him to report to the imperial court, and he was unable to help the Fang family anymore. The Fang family was fined a lot of silver by the imperial court because of this, and the salt that was released to the Fang family in the following year was nearly half less than in previous years, and the lower family was even worse, directly hurting the foundation of the Fang family. Now that Zhen Yingjia is about to rebel, the imperial court must thoroughly investigate the people associated with him, so the Fang family is definitely the first to bear the brunt of the investigation, just because the Fang family has offended many people, especially Lin Ruhai's life, the Lin family will never let them go easily.

Old Lady Fang and Master Fang didn't dare to stand up, but turned around and knelt down respectfully in front of Lin Ruhai, Old Lady Fang gave the eldest son beside him a color, Master Fang understood, and then very reluctantly took out a few pages of paper from his arms and gave them to Lin Ruhai with both hands.

"Lord Lin! Here is our Fang family's apology to you, the sincerity of the Fang family, please be sure to accept it! Master Fang said.

Lin Ruhai didn't even look at the things that Master Fang was holding in his hand, he played with the lid of the tea bowl in his hand, and said jokingly: "Old Lady Fang and Master Fang are trying to bribe this official?" Your little family background, the official really doesn't care about it! ”

Old Lady Fang and Master Fang glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes, neither of them expected that Lin Ruhai would say such a thing. It's not that they haven't heard of rumors about the Lin family's treasures, but the Lin family has always been low-key, and everyone thinks it's just a legend and can't be trusted, but today Old Lady Fang and Master Fang are really sure that the Lin family is really not short of silver.
