Old lady Fang is worthy of being a human spirit, and immediately thought of another meaning of Lin Ruhai's words, the Lin family is not short of silver, and Lin Ruhai does not value yellow and white things, so what does he value and what does he need?

"Lord Lin, the old man has kept some account books from many years ago, all of which record the true whereabouts of my Liu Jiayin in those years, I don't know if Lord Lin needs it?" Old lady Fang planned to give it a go, gambling that Lin Ruhai valued his political achievements and official reputation, and what he wanted was evidence that Zhen Yingjia intercepted the salt tax silver. Fortunately, Mrs. Fang made the right bet this time, Lin Ruhai really wanted those account books, and he really wanted to make his political achievements look better, and the reputation of the Lin family for hundreds of years was a little louder.

"This official is very interested in the account books you mentioned, if you can borrow them......" Lin Ruhai looked at the old lady Fang meaningfully and said.

"Yes! Be! Be! After the old man goes back today, he will immediately let people sort it out, and he will personally bring the account books to the yamen early tomorrow morning to see Lord Lin! Seeing that Lin Ruhai was relieved, Old Lady Fang hurriedly agreed.

Coming out of the Marquis Wenyuan Mansion, the Fang family's father and son were both in a cold sweat, and after the old lady Fang got into his carriage, he immediately sat down in his seat, panting heavily.

"Father! How are you? Isn't there something uncomfortable? "Master Fang was worried about Old Lady Fang.

After Old Lady Fang relieved herself, she waved her hand at Old Master Fang and said, "I'm fine!" Alas! This time it was not in vain! ”

Old Master Fang frowned, looking at Old Master Fang, he hesitated again and again and then said, "Father! But Lord Lin didn't promise anything about us! Let's just send the remaining last hole cards unconditionally, will it be smart but be smart and mistaken? ”

Old Lady Fang shook her head and said, "No! Do you think Lin Ruhai is the same as Zhen Yingjia? Lin Ruhai is a gentleman, he won't help us if he gets our things! Don't try to negotiate terms with him, have you forgotten all the things of the past? Lin Ruhai is very proud in his bones, the more you ask him for conditions, the more he will not help, but we have nothing to ask for, he will definitely not let us pay in vain! ”

"But handing over the account books like this, isn't it also tantamount to giving Lin Ruhai the evidence of our sale of illicit salt?"

"Do you think that Lin Ruhai has no evidence of our sale of illicit salt in his hands? His purpose over the years is very clear, that is, to bring down Zhen Yingjia, the emperor of the Jiangnan soil, do you think that our family and the Zhen family can hide it from Lin Ruhai? Why did we end up like this, do you really think it's just because of our bad luck? ”

"What does my father mean that those accidents were Lin Ruhai's hands and feet?"

"I didn't agree when you agreed to cooperate with Zhen Yingjia to assassinate Lin Ruhai, but you sent a thin horse over without telling me, what was the result, Lin Ruhai did not die, but made our Fang family a scapegoat, since you did it, don't blame others for revenge!"

"Me! This...... It's all his son who believed Zhen Yingjia's old fox, but after the accident, he shook his hands cleanly, and even our family carried the black pot for him! ”

"Humph! Do you dare to say that you don't have the heart to kill Lin Ruhai? Dare to say that the thin horse named Xianshu didn't have a crooked mind to save people? I have white hair all over my body, and I say that others are monsters! Hum! If you weren't good at advocating, why would our family be in such a passive situation today? ”

Master Fang was scolded by his own father, and he felt that he couldn't hold it on his face, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

"After you go back, you secretly pull the batch of silver stored in the house to the countryside and hide it, I estimate that our whole family can save our lives this time, but don't want to keep the family property! This batch of silver is our last family fund, and we must not make any more mistakes, you know? ”

"Father, don't worry, my son will bring someone to bring the silver back to his hometown tomorrow!"

……

The next day, as soon as Lin Ruhai arrived at the Yanzheng Yamen, Old Lady Fang came, and at the same time brought a huge mahogany box.

"Lord Lin, this is the account book kept by our Fang family a few years ago, all of them are here, please accept it!"

"Thank you Old Lady Fang for being able to provide such an important thing to the imperial court, in view of your behavior, this official will make a case to the emperor and ask the emperor to spare the lives of your Fang family!"

Old lady Fang heard Lin Ruhai's promise as he wished, although before the final verdict came down, it was not yet possible to conclude that the Fang family would be fine, but since Lin Ruhai said it, then he said that he would do his best to ensure that the Fang family would not die! Old lady Fang was so excited that she couldn't express it, trembling and kneeling down and kowtowing to Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai asked Lin Xing to help him up.

"Old Lady Fang is old, so don't be so polite! Go back, don't go out recently, wait at home for the verdict of the imperial court! ”

"Yes! Thank you, Lord Lin! Thank you, Lord Lin! Your great kindness and virtue are unforgettable, and you will repay you as a cow and a horse in the next life! Old lady Fang wanted to kneel again, but Lin Xing held her body and didn't kneel.

"This official is just acting impartially, and he deserves no great favor, Old Lady Fang is still good for himself! Lin Xing, send off! ”

Old lady Fang's eyes flickered, he didn't understand what Lin Ruhai meant by this, he sat in the carriage and thought for a long time, until the carriage stopped and the coachman outside asked him to get out of the carriage, and he came to his senses.

After returning home, Old Lady Fang kept thinking about Lin Ruhai's last sentence, but never understood the deep meaning.

"Someone! Go and ask the lord to come over! ”

"Old lady! After you went out today, the lord led a dozen carriages out of the city! ”

"Oops! I'm so confused! Old Lady Fang suddenly remembered what Lin Ruhai meant, all the property of the official government except for the sacrificial field was to be stolen, and the silver that Master Fang transported away today was to be hidden in the newly built mansion in his hometown in the countryside, and that house was in his name and within the scope of being copied, why did he ignore this matter?

Old Lady Fang was extremely frightened after thinking about it, he took a few steps back and sat on a Taishi chair, "It's all over now!" ”

Their Fang family's every move was obviously mastered by Lin Ruhai, otherwise he wouldn't have vaguely reminded him today not to bother to hide the silver in vain! Think about the hard work of my whole life, in the end except for the hundred acres of fields in my hometown and three dilapidated ancestral houses, there is nothing left! Old lady Fang couldn't help but cry like rain, crying like a three-year-old child.
