Chapter 261: Taking office

After Lin Ruhai moved, he rested for two days and went to Yingtian Mansion to take office, and Hua Chong, as Lin Ruhai's master, was still arranged to live in the backyard of the mansion. In the past few days before Lin Ruhai officially took office, Hua Chong and the people in the government have become familiar with each other, and they also have a general understanding of who is a person and who is a ghost in this government.

The first thing Lin Ruhai did after taking office was to seal all the ledgers, and the room where the ledgers were sealed was guarded. Then he summoned the officials of the various states and arranged for them to start reclaiming the unowned wasteland according to the method he had implemented in Suzhou, intending to seize the time to reclaim a part of the unclaimed land before the spring had passed, so that Ying Tianfu could increase his income in the summer and autumn this year.

"Hua Chong, do you think there are people in this Ying Tianfu who are available?" Lin Ruhai asked Hua Chong.

"According to the subordinates, there is no one available. is either incompetent to eat, or relies on relationships to get benefits, and they are all Zhen Yingjia's lackeys. ”

"We're going to have a hard time in the future! I plan to transfer Xu Tongju from Suzhou here, and in the future, I will hand over the criminal inscription to him. Although this Xu Tong's judgment is flawed, but fortunately, his mind is still correct, and he is also a responsible person, he was born in a poor family, and he has no backers and help in the court, and it is not easy to rely on his own ability to become a general judgment from the five grades. ”

"The subordinates also feel that the master should promote some of his own people, although this Xu Tongju is careful to think a lot, but the errands he is responsible for have always been done properly, the master is kind to him, and he has his handle in his hands, I think he is a useful person!"

"I'm going to make a break and let Xu Tongju come to office as soon as possible!"

"Master, the person in charge of the torture is here, who will give this money and food to?"

"It's good to hand it over to this Xiao Tongzhi now! Didn't you see how he reacted when I ordered the ledger to be sealed? ”

"It was as if he had known early on that his master would seal the ledgers, and the ledgers were all in order, as long as they were moved to the room where the ledgers were sealed. Does the master suspect that this Xiao Tongzhi may be in Cao Ying's heart in Han? ”

"He's a smart guy! I knew that I would start with the ledger to clean up the moths in the yamen, so I kept the ledger early in the morning to prevent anyone from destroying it! As for whether he is a human or a ghost, we have to look again, but I am sure that this person is not as simple as he seems! He deliberately hides his ingenuity, but also to protect himself and his family. It depends on whether he is really smart, if he is really smart......"

"Is the master planning to wait for Xiao Tongzhi to take the initiative to surrender?"

"Hmmm! He took the first step, and I gave him a favor, so that he could continue to sit firmly in the position of Tongzhi, and it will be up to him to see if he really has a gap in his chest, or just to save his life! ”

Lin Ruhai's move to seal the account book made the officials of all sizes in the yamen panic, and they didn't know what Lin Ruhai was planning. If you really want to carefully check the accounts of previous years, Xiang Yunting, the former prefect of the "fugitive", is not afraid, but these people will be implicated. Over the years, because Xiang Yunting is Zhen Yingjia's die-hard loyalist, Zhen Yingjia also values him very much, no one in Yingtianfu dares to disobey Xiang Yunting, Xiang Yunting himself has no fear, and has never thought of doing anything in the account book, so what is recorded in the account book is the most real financial situation of Xiang Yunting during his tenure. And Xiao Tongzhi, who was in charge of money and food, didn't seem to care much about the account books, and never reminded Xiang Yunting that he needed to handle these account books carefully.

At this time, the person who is most afraid of Lin Ruhai's audit will take the initiative to jump out, so Lin Ruhai does not need to waste effort to check the accounts, he can find out those who have problems, as long as the person who is most responsible is dealt with, some other small fish and shrimp will also be deterred, Lin Ruhai intends to let it go, if it is really more serious, the entire Yingtianfu will have no one to work, and all of them will be imprisoned. When the water is clear, there are no fish, Lin Ruhai knows that he can't be too serious in officialdom, as long as it's not a big mistake, he is still willing to turn a blind eye. If you offend everyone like in the previous life, you will only make enemies for yourself, and in the end, to the point of being isolated, Lin Ruhai will not make the same mistake again.

Now Wang Tongsheng, who is in charge of the punishment in Yingtianfu Ya, has an in-law relationship with Xiang Yunting, he is a side branch of the Wang family in Wuyi Lane, and his sister's eldest son is married to Xiang Yunting's niece. Wang Tongju is from a raised background, and the position of this general judge is donated with money, he knows that he can only stop from the fifth grade in this life, and it is impossible to climb up again, so he hugged Xiang Yunting's thighs tightly. It can be said that in the entire Yingtianfu Ya, Wang Tongju is the most obedient to Xiang Yunting, almost obedient, and many things Xiang Yunting is explained to Wang Tongju to do. After Xiang Yunting was arrested, Wang Tongju was afraid of being implicated, so he hid at home with illness and did not come out, and later it was rumored that Xiang Yunting was robbed and escaped by mountain bandits, and his family was also beheaded.

After Lin Ruhai arrived in Yingtianfu, he also wanted to curry favor with Lin Ruhai as before, but before he could take action, Lin Ruhai ordered the account book to be sealed on the first day of his tenure. After Wang Tongju found out, his frightened legs were weak, and he wanted to go to Lin Ruhai to find out what he was thinking, but he was afraid that Lin Ruhai would see the clues. Unable to sleep day and night, Wang Tongju pondered for several days and finally came up with a plan.

On this day, Wang Tongju stayed in the yamen to work in the name of sorting out the files, and left until late. In the middle of the night, a fire broke out in the yamen, and although it was extinguished by the officials on duty, it also burned down several houses, including the room where the ledger was sealed.

Wang Tongju was still secretly having fun at home, and the officials in the yamen knocked on the door of his house, locked him and took him to the yamen without saying a word.

It turned out that Wang Tongju sprinkled tung oil on the window of the room where the account book was sealed, and then lit an incense plant on the window, he thought that he was doing something unaware, but he happened to be seen by Master Hua who lived in the backyard of the yamen, and the official also found traces of tung oil in the room where he worked. Now that the human and physical evidence is available, Wang Tongju wanted to quibble, but Lin Ruhai said something in his ear, but it made Wang Tongju's eyes faint.

Wang Tong was sentenced to ten years in prison, he couldn't stand the hard life in prison, he couldn't afford to get sick in a few days, and there was a lack of medical treatment in prison, Wang Tong was sentenced to survive for two days and still didn't survive! This is a later story, no more mention!

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min didn't have that much to care about Wang Tong's judgment, because King Yan sent a message that their ship would arrive at Jinling Wharf before noon tomorrow. Jia Min is personally leading people to clean up the yard for his second son and arrange a carriage to meet his son tomorrow!
