After breakfast and a little rest, Jia Cong came to Lin Ruhai's room.

Lin Ruhai had already eaten breakfast and was sitting on a chair drinking tea.

Jia Cong came to the front and said, "Father-in-law, your complexion is getting better day by day, and it seems that your body is recovering well."

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Well, since the root of the disease was removed, my body has become lighter and lighter day by day, this is all thanks to you, otherwise I would really see the king of Hades."

Jia Cong said: "My father-in-law is too polite, I should do all this, and my father-in-law will say this."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "I heard that you came back until dawn, how did the matter go?" Is it going well?"

Jia Cong said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, things are going very well, the three major salt merchants, the Bai family, the Li family, and the Zhang family, have disappeared from Yangzhou, and the money and materials have been counted.

The silver and valuables have been brought back to the yamen, and the other materials have been sealed in situ, which can be disposed of slowly in the future, this is the list of accounts, and the account books left by several families, you can take a look."

As he spoke, he put the list of copyists and the three account books in front of Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai picked up the bill and put it down, and read the three ledgers carefully, and the more he looked at it, the deeper his brows wrinkled.

Although I had long guessed that many officials in Yangzhou were deeply involved with these big salt merchants, I didn't expect that Yangzhou officialdom would be so corrupted.

Officials of Yangzhou City, including Xiao Bingkun, the prefect of Yangzhou, and Zheng Wenlong, the chief soldier, were all implicated.

Looking at the shocking numbers on the ledger, the whole person felt like he was blown by a cold wind, and his heart shuddered.

"You should have seen this ledger, right? The content inside is really surprising, this Yangzhou officialdom is dark, when you raided your home, but after tossing all night, no one came out to stop it? Shouldn't it be?"

Jia Cong said: "Someone appeared, about 500 people, it should be the army, I directly stopped the leader and killed him, the others hesitated for a while and went back, and no one else showed up again?"

Lin Ruhai frowned when he heard this, this kid is still young, too rash, after all, he is an official of the imperial court, how can he say that he will kill him?

"Do you know who is leading the team?"

Jia Cong shook his head and said, "I don't know, a few hundred meters away, I didn't even take a look at my face, I was killed directly, and the people over there probably didn't know how they died, let alone who killed them."

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Cong a few times, this kid really has some means, no wonder he can call for wind and rain on the battlefield.

"I am a little curious about the means by which you can kill someone from a distance of a few hundred meters? Tell me about it."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Father-in-law, this is my killer weapon, only a few cronies and guards around me know about it, please forgive me for not telling you, and I hope you don't mention it to anyone, you just need to know that it is a kind of mechanism."

Lin Ruhai nodded silently, this kid is really cautious, he doesn't even tell me, it's okay, as long as it's okay.

Since he didn't show up, it's easy to operate, there is no evidence, he just doesn't admit it, it is estimated that this kid also fought this idea, it is really ruthless, and the cunning little fox.

In this way, Lin Ruhaidao is relieved, people like Jia Cong generally can't suffer losses.

Picked up the list and shook it, "You don't blush with so much silver? Don't want to hold some up?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Father-in-law wants to give me some silver flowers? I don't care, my father-in-law will take it if he wants to give it to me, and he won't force it if he doesn't give it to me, and to be honest, I'm not bad for money."

Lin Ruhai also knew that this kid was rich, and thought for a while: "Since there is no shortage of money, then don't stretch out your hand, report directly to the court, and see what Your Majesty does, I will write an excerpt, and you can sign it."

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "Father-in-law, I won't get involved, with this credit, if you are transferred back to the capital, you should be able to go further, and then we will have a good time to take care of each other, and Sister Lin and I will also be convenient to be filial piety by your side."

I'll write a separate excerpt, straight

Accept the submission to Your Majesty, tell your condition to be more serious, and you also take this opportunity to hand over your resignation to Your Majesty, so as to get out of the quagmire of Yangzhou, and wait for a period of time to recuperate, Your Majesty will see that you are fine, and will naturally use you again."

Lin Ruhai sighed and said, "I have already handed in my resignation, but His Majesty has not approved it, and it may be difficult to leave."

Jia Cong frowned and said, "This is too mean, do you have to let you die in office?"

Lin Ruhai said: "Don't say anything, maybe Your Majesty has other plans, right?"

Jia Cong said: "Father-in-law, this time is different, as long as you submit the account book, you will offend the officialdom of the entire Yangzhou, and even most of the Jiangnan can't tolerate you, Your Majesty should not let you stay in Yangzhou anymore."

Lin Ruhai said with a solemn expression: "This account book is very important, and several other families are estimated to also have account books, knowing the existence of this thing, they still need to send it to the capital as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

Jia Cong said: "My father-in-law has written a memorabilia, I can let Eunuch Xiao Li take it directly into the palace and hand it over to Your Majesty, and I will send a master to follow them out of Yangzhou and secretly protect them."

At this time, the old housekeeper Lin Zhong walked in.

"Master, Grandpa Guo, the five heads of the great salt merchants, came to visit together, named to visit Ning Guogong, and brought a lot of gifts."

Lin Ruhai said, "Since I'm here to find you, you can decide whether to see it or not."

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "The eight major salt merchants have wiped out three at once, these people must not be able to sit still, probably because they are worried that they will do something to them, so they specially came to inquire about the news, then I will go and meet them, so as to dispel their doubts."

Lin Ruhai said: "Since you don't do anything to them, let's give them a reassurance."

Jia Cong nodded and followed Lin Zhong to the front hall.

When I came to the front hall, I saw five middle-aged people sitting inside, and when I saw Jia Cong coming in, I hurriedly got up and said, "I've seen Ning Guogong later, so I took the liberty to disturb and look at Haihan."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "You are all distinguished guests, you can come in person, it is to give me face, please sit down."

Wang Guosen said: "Ning Guogong is a young hero, we have been famous for a long time, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation."

Jia Cong said: "Passing the prize, passing the prize, it's just good luck, everyone came together today, it should be for last night's incident, right?"

Huang Zhiming said: "Ning Guogong really saw thousands of miles, last night the Bai family, the Li family, and the Zhang family were raided and destroyed, and they were all eight major salt merchants, and we people were also terrified.

I wonder if the next moment will follow in their footsteps? I wonder if Ning Guogong can solve our doubts? What kind of crime did those three families commit that made Ning Guogong take action to destroy them?"

Jia Cong glanced at everyone and said, "Since you asked, then I will say it directly, Bai Ruosong, Li Yaojin, Zhang Fulai, and Yun Yi teamed up to poison and murder Lin Ruhai, the salt patrol royal historian, causing his life to be in danger.

This plot to kill the officials of the court is tantamount to rebellion, I can't copy them too much, right? And that's just one of them.

Second, the three of them used the same method to kill my aunt, that is, Lin Ruhai's wife, and those who dared to harm my Jia family, how could I let them live, they deserved to die in public and private.

You have nothing to do with this matter, I naturally won't implicate you, you can rest assured, I, Jia Cong, am not unreasonable and kill innocent people indiscriminately, on the contrary, I like to make friends with people.

When I clean up the Yun family, this matter will end here, please also tell your people, don't come out and interfere with me, whoever dares to jump out will kill whoever I want, no matter who I am, no matter how hard his backer is, against me, there is only one way to die."

The five of them were also a little surprised when they heard Jia Cong's words.

They originally thought that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill and difficult to treat, but they didn't expect that it was actually caused by Bai Ruosong and the four of them being poisoned.

What I didn't expect was that Lin Ruhai's wife was also killed by them.

That's the Jia family, no wonder Jia Cong will directly destroy the three of them, this is not only for revenge, but also for Liwei.

Hearing that it had nothing to do with himself and others, Jia Cong had already expressed his attitude, and then they all relaxed their hearts

。

However, hearing Jia Cong's warning words later, he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But thinking of the scene last night, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, and then I realized that the killing intent in Jia Cong's words was not just talking.

He really dared to do this, even the general soldiers of Yangzhou were killed, does he still care about other people?

These people are all influential figures in Yangzhou, relying on the government of Yangzhou, they also do whatever they want, and they can better understand Jia Cong's behavior.

Strictly speaking, they are all people all the way, and they all rely on power to do whatever they want.

The difference is that these salt merchants rely on the power of the government and buy talismans with their own money.

But what Jia Cong relies on is his own power, and he is more confident.

Ma Tengfei said: "Hearing Ning Guogong say this, we are relieved, I really can't imagine that the three children of the Bai family, the Li family, and the Zhang family would be so mad and do things that poison people.

Ning Guogong don't worry, we won't get involved in this matter, we are businessmen, we like to do business with kindness, and we also like to make friends like Ning Guogong."

When Jia Cong heard this, he smiled with satisfaction: "If you really want to talk about it, I also started as a businessman, I started the soap business at the age of nine, and I have a certain amount of capital, so I have come to this step by step.

My principle of being a man is, I am good, you are good, everyone is good, I am kind and make money, I don't bump into it by myself, and I generally don't want to meddle in things. Over the years, I have encountered many enemies, but those people have fallen at my feet."

For Jia Cong, these people still have some understanding, not to mention the soap, it is the Linhe tribute wine, and now it is also a household name in Jiangnan.

Wang Guosen said: "Ning Guogong's legendary experience, we are also thunderous, Ning Guogong's achievements, let me wait for the dust, like Ning Guogong's character, we are only willing to make friends, not to offend."

Jia Cong nodded, with his current status, if it weren't for a coincidence, with the identity of these salt merchants, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to see him.

Don't look at these people who are rich and powerful in Yangzhou, and have unlimited scenery, in Jia Cong's eyes, they are just a group of rich people.

Even if they take the money to give gifts to themselves, they may not be able to enter the door of Ning Guofu.

The difference in status is too great, and Jia Cong is a real imperial nobleman.

These people received a satisfactory reply, knowing that Jia Cong would not touch them, put down the gifts, and left satisfied.

······

Jia Cong returned to the back house and happened to see Lin Daiyu coming out of Lin Ruhai's yard.

He stepped forward and smiled, "Sister Lin, have you been to see your father-in-law?"

Lin Daiyu said, "Well, Daddy is writing a recital, I stayed for a while and came out bored, I heard that you didn't come back last night and another night?"

Jia Cong said: "Don't think nonsense, you little brain, I went to avenge my father-in-law and aunt yesterday, and copied the Bai family, the Li family, the Zhang family, and the three major salt merchants, and it was almost dawn when I came back.

After breakfast, I went to report to my father-in-law what had happened, and the remaining five salt merchants got the news and came to the door, I just sent them away, and they haven't closed their eyes yet, if you say anything weird, I'll spank you."

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her eyes were a little red, and she pulled Jia Cong and said, "Brother Cong, I didn't think much about it, Zijuan has already told me, thank you for all this for me, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."

Jia Cong comforted, "What are you talking about? Isn't that how I should be doing things for you? Besides, it's also to avenge my aunt, okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things, I'll bring back some jewelry in the morning, let's go, go pick two things I like."

Lin Daiyu said, "Well, let's go, no, I just heard that someone is going to spank me?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's just talking, how could I be willing to fight Sister Lin? You're my little darling."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Phew, the flesh is numb, you are so thick-skinned, you can say anything."

Speaking out, by the way, are there four sisters and Yun sisters, be careful what they say."

Jia Cong said, "Don't worry, it's all there, when you pick it out, let them pick two more pieces, and I'll get a big box back."

Lin Daiyu felt happy when she heard this, Brother Cong really put himself first.

"Brother Cong, this is not good, let's call them together."

Jia Cong said: "What's wrong with this, you are my daughter-in-law, the best thing is naturally given to you, and they will all be ranked behind you."

Lin Daiyu said happily, "Thank you, Brother Cong, for thinking of me, let's call the fourth sister and Sister Yun together."

Jia Cong saw that she insisted, so he did as she wanted.

"Well, it's up to you, the hostess."

The two called Xichun and Shi Xiangyun and came to Jia Cong's house.

"Mandarin duck, take out the box of jewelry and let the girls choose a few of their favorites."

The mandarin duck said, "I know, master, a few girls, please sit in the room."

Xichun said, "Brother, what jewelry do you want to give us?"

Jia Cong said, "I just got a batch of jewelry, let's see if there is anything you like."

The mandarin duck and the attacker carried the box over, Jia Cong stepped forward to open the lid, and instantly a burst of jewels emanated, attracting everyone's attention.

"Wow, so much jewelry, and it's all high-end jewelry, how much does it cost?"

Shi Xiangyun's eyes widened, looking at the jewelry in the box, his eyes were straight.

The jewels in it, any one of them, are worth a lot, and my aunt is a marquise, and there are only two or three of them in total, and I treasure them as treasures, but there is a big box full of them.

The third brother is so rich, he got so much at once, and he is really good to the people around him.

Jia Cong said, "Don't be stunned, come and choose a few things you like."
