Chapter 166: Hatred

Therefore, when the assassination of Lin Qingwan and Zhong Ruying was no longer a secret in Jiangnan, not many people in the court knew about it.

At that time, they were happily waiting to see Su Zhang enter Beijing to offer prisoners, and after the prisoners were sacrificed, they would be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and they were a little unhappy to receive news from outside.

The emperor didn't want this incident to spoil the atmosphere of the prisoners, after all, although the Great Liang has been fighting many battles and winning many battles over the years, only this time has really expanded the territory.

But it's not annoying in my heart, the Liao people are so bold and reckless in his territory, this is treating Daliang as his own back garden?

The emperor couldn't help but think of the Liao people's avoidance when Lin Ying was there, and a Lin Ying made the Liao State honest for thirty years.

Coupled with Lin Qingwan's identity, the emperor couldn't help but feel guilty, it just so happened that Lin Xin was also from the Lin family, and out of compensation, he increased the reward.

And he also wanted to see if the talent that Su Zhang boasted about could grow into a hero like Lin Ying.

The Northeast Army has been in his hands for more than 30 years, and he is not afraid that the Lin family will turn the Northeast Army into the Lin Family Army again.

Not to mention that the Lin family only has one general now, and he dares to use three or five more.

So Lin Xin jumped four levels in a row and became a ragtag general.

Outsiders don't know these coincidences, they only feel that the emperor is really kind to the Lin family, but they are afraid that Lin Jiang's residual power can exist for a long time.

Under such circumstances, the news of Lin Qingwan's assassination came, no matter how unpleasant she had been with some courtiers before, everyone unanimously stood on her side to crusade against the Liao.

Especially when Zhong Ruying is also in the convoy, no matter how some courtiers look down on Zhong Ruying in private, criticizing her for being a woman mixed with men, but she is really good at fighting.

Although the relationship with Da Chu is very poor, and there is a battle from time to time, but no one has lost the ground, if Da Liang loses her, everyone will still feel very painful in their hearts.

Even if many people are looking forward to Zhong Ruying's accident so that they can give up their positions, more people understand that no one will be more suitable for the commander of the Southwest Army than Zhong Ruying.

Therefore, this time, the important ministers of the court were incomparably unified, and they fought together against the Liao State after Sun Huai's Ming Fold.

The Ministry of Rites said that it would write a letter of state to express solemn protest with Liao, the Ministry of War said that it would allow the Northeast Army to go to the border more recently, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs said that they would strengthen law and order in Daliang and focus on cracking down on terrorist activities carried out by other countries......

At the same time, everyone also knows Sun Huai's achievements and findings in recent days.

No one mentioned why it took more than a month for Sun Huai to fold up, does this still need to be asked, of course, it is the time for everyone to celebrate the victory of the Southern Expedition.

The emperor handed over the things found by Sun Huai to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and asked them to follow the investigation and be sure to exhaust the Liao State in the country.

Dig out their inner shoulds as well.

After the court, those who should know and those who shouldn't know naturally all know.

Zhao Jie was the same, even if he was not in the capital, he still received the news quickly.

He was a little surprised by Sun Huai's bright folds, "Didn't you say that he found Lingzhou?" Why is the excerpt set in Jiangdu? ”

The henchman knelt on the ground and said, "General, he did find Wu Jiu at that time. ”

He frowned and said, "Didn't he get the clues we deliberately left from Wu Jiu?" ”

Zhao Jie's face turned slightly pale, clenched his fists and said: "The second brother is gone, he still followed the search to Hangzhou, and then touched Jiangdu, do you think he will not find the traces you deliberately left?" ”

The henchman's face turned slightly pale, "We were afraid of self-defeating, and we were already very careful to check out half of the things, it looks like we lost something in a panic, so he shouldn't be suspicious......"

"Okay," Zhao Jie waved his hand to interrupt him, gritted his teeth and said, "You go and deal with it all, this matter is over, we just don't know anything." ”

The henchman's face turned pale, and he lowered his head and asked, "Is Wu Jiu also cleaned up?" ”

Zhao Jie didn't speak, the meaning was self-evident.

The henchman lowered his eyelids, got up and bowed down, but he was a little sad in his heart, this time they cleaned up too many people, most of them didn't know each other, and it was okay to make a move, but there were also people who knew each other, and even had companions who fought side by side.

It's just that Sun Huai discovered the spider silk, so in order not to expose it, he killed everyone involved.

The henchman thought that he had been tempered hard and cold enough on the battlefield, but at this time he felt a chill all over his body, and a kind of timidity rising from the bottom of his heart surrounded him.

And Zhao Jie in the big tent is not having a good time, this time the Zhao family can be described as a heavy loss.

I don't know how Sun Huai investigated, obviously the people sent out by the second child are the outermost, and the people related to them have been cleaned up, but he still found out about the Zhao family.

And there is a tendency to investigate more and more details, and they also touched the Liao side through the clues on their side.

The relationship between the Zhao family and the Liao State must not be exposed, so even if it hurts his heart, he can only clean up these people.

The talents cultivated over the years were gone overnight, and Zhao Jie hated so much that his eyes were almost dripping with blood.

The Lin family, the Lin family, and the Lin family again!

Grandfather was also because of the Lin family at that time......

Zhao Jie closed his eyes, and the Zhao family's several chances to prosper were cut off by the Lin family!

Zhao Jie hated so much that his mouth was stained with the smell of blood, he thought that this time Lin Ying, Lin Zhi, and Lin Jiang were all gone, and they could completely make the Lin clan disappear from the world, but they didn't expect that they would suffer a big loss.

Zhao Jie calmed down the depression in his chest, took out a blank piece of paper and spread it out to write a letter, they had to lie dormant like every blow they had suffered in the past, and they would talk about it when they developed and found an opportunity.

However, the Lin family is the nemesis of the Zhao family, the pair of aunts and nephews......

Zhao Jie's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but the letter strictly ordered Zhao Sheng not to provoke Lin Qingwan again, and to avoid the Lin family if he could.

Zhao Sheng hated him even more than Zhao Jie, although he wanted to kill Lin Qingwan himself, but at this time he had to listen to his eldest brother's words

Lin Qingwan didn't know that the hatred in the hearts of the Zhao brothers was deeper, she and Lin Yubin only returned to Suzhou at this time, and only then did they get the letter sent back by Lin Xin.

Lin Xin didn't know why, but Lin Qingwan calculated the time in her heart and knew that it was most likely colliding with the secret fold handed over by Sun Huai.

Lin Qingwan smiled slightly, replied to Lin Xin, and by the way, sorted out some of the main deeds and generals in the Northeast Army and sent them to him.

He will go to the Northeast to serve, and these will be used in the Northeast Army in the future.

Lin Qingwan handed the letter to Steward Lin and said, "Ask Lin Xin's grandmother and mother if they have anything to bring, and send them together." ”

Steward Lin responded, and replied the next day: "The old lady said that she would come to thank you, but the little one didn't dare to respond, but said that when the autumn harvest is over, my aunt and grandmother will go back to the clan to see them." ”

Lin Qingwan bowed slightly, "How are they doing?" ”

"Auntie and grandmother rest assured, the patriarch has been sending people to help them, and after the young master Xin was promoted, he sent back a lot of silver, plus the help of the clan, the slaves watched their lives better than before." Steward Lin paused and said: "The reward sent back by the young master this time is also for the aunt and grandmother and the eldest lady, the younger one didn't dare to take it, but the old lady was very stubborn, and she was afraid that she would send it after this time." ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, "If she sends it again, you can accept it." ”

and lest the other party be troubled.

Lin Qingwan no longer asked about this matter, but asked about Xia Shulai.

Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, Lin Qingwan didn't catch up with the summer harvest, although Chief Steward Zhong wrote a letter to her, but the writing was not detailed enough.

When it comes to the summer harvest bell, the chief steward is happy, this year is even better than last year's harvest.

One is because this year's wheat is winter, and the other is because after the first year's cultivation, this year's land is relatively ripe, and this year's fertility is sufficient.

"Now that the wheat has been dried and put into storage, many merchants have come to ask, auntie, how much do we have to give?"

"You look at it," Lin Qingwan said, "Now that the summer grain has just come out, the price of grain will definitely fall, so we don't need to give too much at this time." ”

"Then I'll just send some people away."

Lin Qingwan nodded.

Chief Steward Zhong took out another booklet and said, "Auntie, this is the account book of this year's old grain." ”

This year, grain prices have skyrocketed, especially in February, March and April, when the grain prices soared, Lin Qingwan looked at it as if it was not good, so she asked the chief steward Zhong to slowly sell the old grain in the warehouse, one was to sell the old grain, and the other was to suppress the grain price.

Later, the imperial court intervened to regulate grain prices, and the faster the grain prices fell, the grain prices were still much higher than in previous years.

The chief steward of Zhong was about to harvest in the summer, and after being sure that the harvest would not be bad, he also released the remaining old grain, and Lin Qingwan made a lot of money.

This year's harvest was bumper, and there was new grain in storage, and Lin Qingwan finally settled down.

She is unwilling to give too much food at this time, the grain hurts the people, anyway, she is not in a hurry to use the money now, and wait a little longer.

Chief Steward Zhong tasted the sweetness from this year's grain prices, and also wanted to save the grain for the period after the New Year.

Steward Lin disagreed, "Grandma, even if the price of grain drops because of the two harvests, it won't drop too much, you must know that the imperial court has just subdued most of the territory of the Southern Han Dynasty this year, and those newly established states and counties must need food, why don't we hire a caravan to go to the Southern Han?" ”

Lin Qingwan shook her head and said, "There's no need, let's just farm with peace of mind." ”

The state and county that came back from the subjugation have not completely settled down, and she has enough troubles, but there is no need to find another trouble for herself.

Lin Qingwan clicked on the account books of the bookstore and the account books sent by Wen Yuan, and the corners of her mouth picked, anyway, she is not short of money now, is she?

It's a nice feeling that you're not short of money.

Lin Qingwan decided, "Go and ask the eldest lady what she lacks, Ming'er will ask people to go to the street to buy some things for her, and then go to a few silk and satin houses to see, let them choose some materials to show me, Yubin is also about to be filial piety, we should start preparing things after filial piety." ”

As soon as I have money, I can't help but buy and buy, and I can't help but dress up my little girl.

Steward Zhong and Steward Lin glanced at each other, and both saw the good mood of their aunt and grandmother, and the two responded in unison and retreated with a smile. The master's filial piety period has expired, and the aunt and grandmother and the eldest lady really have to dress up well.
