Looking at the Shenjing City in front of him, Eunuch Xiao Li's hanging heart finally let go.

I was worried all the way, but I didn't have a good rest, and finally came back without danger.

This time he was really cheated by Ning Guogong.

However, it is also a great achievement to bring back such important news.

Thinking of this, I was in a much better mood, and I entered the Shenjing City and went straight to the palace.

Emperor Longqing was discussing important matters with Hu Yong, Yang Huai, Li Rong, etc., and several cabinet ministers.

Dai Quan took Eunuch Xiao Li and hurriedly walked in.

Emperor Longqing frowned, and said with some displeasure, "What's going on again? Coming in in such a hurry?"

Dai Quan stepped forward and said, "Back to the master, the person who went to Yangzhou to deliver the decree to Ning Guogong has returned, and brought back the twists and turns of Ning Guogong and Lord Shilin of the Salt Patrol Palace, and encountered several interceptions on the way, so he rushed back without danger.

After the slave found out, he didn't dare to slack off, and directly brought people over, waiting for His Majesty to inquire."

As he spoke, he put the two notebooks and a few account books in front of Emperor Longqing, took a step back, and stood aside respectfully.

Emperor Longqing was stunned when he heard this, who dared to be so bold and dared to intercept Qin Cha, Jia Cong and Lin Ruhai, what did they send to let people take the risk of intercepting Qin Cha.

Hu Yong and several ministers were also surprised when they heard the news.

Able to make people take the risk of intercepting the folds, there must be something terrible written on it, and I can't help but look at the folds on the royal eucalyptus.

Emperor Longqing glanced at the fold in front of him, and did not rush to open it.

said to Xiao Li Zi below, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Eunuch Xiao Li said: "Back to the master, the slave took this Ning Guogong and Lord Lin's play, just thirty miles out of Yangzhou City, he encountered a group of people blocking the road and intercepting and killing, and at the critical moment, a team of people was killed and those people were killed.

It turned out that Ning Guogong had expected it, and sent someone to secretly follow the minions, and when he saw someone making a move, he appeared and killed them.

Subsequently, Ning Guogong's people have been escorting the minions on the way, and they encountered five interceptions along the way, all of which were killed by them, until they left Yangzhou for nearly two hundred miles, and saw that no one intercepted them, so they returned to Yangzhou.

The minion was so worried that he didn't dare to rest, and he was terrified along the way, so he hurried back without stopping, but fortunately he was safe and sound."

What is the important twist and turn that actually makes people send people to intercept one after another?

While everyone was curious, they also faintly felt the seriousness of the matter, and it seemed that something big was going to happen again.

This Ning Guogong doesn't stop wherever he goes!

Emperor Longqing also had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked, "You should have been in Yangzhou for a few days, right?" Did Ning Guogong do something big in Yangzhou again?"

Eunuch Xiao Li said: "Back to the master, the slave stayed in Yangzhou for three days, and Ning Guogong found out that Lord Shilin, who patrolled the salt and was poisoned and persecuted by those salt merchants, Ning Guogong led people to raid their homes, and a total of four salt merchants were copied."

After hearing this, several cabinet ministers looked at each other.

These salt merchants actually poisoned Lin Ruhai, this behavior is indeed a bit excessive, it seems that Lin Ruhai has blocked the wealth of many people.

What surprised them even more was that Jia Cong actually directly copied four salt merchants, which was really too bold.

Everyone knows the current situation of Yangzhou officialdom, that is a powder keg, no one wants to pierce it, this Ning Guogong is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Emperor Longqing didn't say anything more, directly opened Jia Cong's recital, and quickly flipped through it.

After reading it, I picked up Lin Ruhai's recital, read it carefully, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after knowing what happened.

I picked up the list and looked at it, and I was instantly attracted by the numbers on it.

Having copied so much money, these salt merchants are so rich.

So much money has caught up with the country's tax revenue for more than a year.

Now in the treasury, there is none

With so much money, it's almost the end of the year again, money is needed everywhere, and with this money you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Jia Cong, this kid is really good, he can kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, and when he comes back, he can also help get money, if this civil and military officials are like Jia Cong, then he should be more worry-free.

I put down the list and picked up the ledger, and as I kept looking through it, my face became more and more ugly.

Although I have been mentally prepared after watching the twists and turns of the two, when I see the account book, I can't help but feel angry.

Hu Yong and the others watched Emperor Longqing's face get darker and darker, and they couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, and a bad premonition came to their hearts.

After Emperor Longqing finished reading all the account books, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Yangzhou's officialdom is completely corrupted, the content of the account book is really shocking, these people really can't stay anymore, they are no longer the officials of Dachu, and they have completely become the umbrella of those salt merchants.

glanced at Shoufu Hu Yong, and said, "Hu Aiqing, Ning Guogong and Lord Lin's recital, you can also take it down and take a look, and after reading it, take out a charter by the way."

Hu Yong arched his hand and said, "Minister, obey the order."

Dai Quan stepped forward and took down the fold and the account book, handed it to Hu Yong, and then stepped aside.

Hu Yong sighed in his heart after reading the recital.

I picked up the account book and read it again, and I was extremely shocked in my heart, the officialdom in Yangzhou was over.

After everyone watched it, they had no other thoughts, the evidence was conclusive, no one could deny it, and they couldn't excuse their acquaintances, so they had to change their blood.

This time, everyone was surprisingly unanimous, and Emperor Longqing was also very satisfied.

After this incident, Lin Ruhai has offended too many people, and it is impossible to stay in Yangzhou anymore.

In addition, he was seriously ill and asked to resign again to recuperate, Jia Cong also said that although Lin Ruhai's poison has been resolved, it has already injured his internal organs, and his life is dying, and he needs to recuperate to save his life.

Emperor Longqing thought about it again and again, and in the end, he approved Lin Ruhai's resignation and let him return to Beijing to recuperate.

Subsequently, he sent a messenger to Yangzhou to arrest a number of criminal officials, completely cleaned up the Yangzhou officialdom, and reappointed new officials, and completely changed the Yangzhou officialdom.

······

At this time, Jia Cong was talking to him in Lin Ruhai's room.

This time, mainly like Lin Ruhai's resignation, the matter in Yangzhou has come to an end, and his task has been successfully completed.

The matter of the Salt Gang, since the emperor has already issued a holy decree, he can't take it lightly.

I have to take it seriously, at least give the emperor an explanation.

"Father-in-law, your condition is no longer serious, you just need to meditate and cultivate, and the affairs of Yangzhou have been dealt with properly, our twists and turns should be in the capital at this time, and other things depend on Your Majesty's intentions."

Your Majesty has asked me to be responsible for exterminating the Salt Gang, and this matter should also be put on the agenda, and I am ready to rush to Jinling in the near future to settle the matter of the Salt Gang, so that I can give an account to Your Majesty."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "Your Majesty has already issued an order to you, naturally you can't wait to ignore it, there is nothing to do here in Yangzhou, since you have already thought about it, then do it."

However, the Salt Gang and the Zhen family should have some relationship, and you have to be careful when it comes to the Zhen family, the Zhen family is deeply rooted in this Jiangnan, and you are also old relatives of the Jia family, before acting, you must be cautious and not act recklessly."

Jia Cong said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I already have a solution, you are not an outsider, and I won't hide it from you, Zhen Yingjia came to me some time ago, just to find me for the matter of the Salt Gang, which shows that they have a close relationship.

The gang leader of the Salt Gang, and a group of middle and high-level gangs, have all been killed by my people, and the group below is bitter haha, it doesn't mean to kill or not, this time I went to Jinling, and I don't plan to take action in person.

I plan to sell Zhen Yingjia a face, and let the Zhen family come forward to solve this matter, the Zhen family only needs to give me a batch of heads and enough money to pay the difference, for those ordinary people, I really can't do it."

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

After thinking about it carefully, the high-level of the Salt Gang is gone, and it can be regarded as a completion of the task.

Taking this opportunity to give the Zhen family a face, it is equivalent to earning a favor for nothing, and the Zhen family may be grateful to Dade and give gifts to thank him, this kid is really calculating.

The Zhen family just got an empty favor.

It's just that this makes it clear that it is Your Majesty, Jia Cong's courage is really too big, and I don't know if it's good or bad if it goes on like this?

Lin Ruhai said: "There's nothing wrong with you doing this, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will find out and trouble you?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "How can Your Majesty ask about such a trivial matter, as long as you do things beautifully, you can send the seized silver when the time comes."

Lin Ruhai shook his head, what kind of train of thought is this? Isn't it true that Your Majesty only recognizes silver?

"It's good that you know it in your heart, but you also need to have a sense of reverence for Your Majesty. Now that you've thought about it, go ahead and don't need to worry about anything on my side."

Jia Cong said: "Father-in-law, over there in Jinling, after the matter of the Salt Gang is over, I am going to Suzhou, a maid next to me, who is from Suzhou, has been abducted and trafficked since she was a child, and I plan to take her to find her family.

I heard that my aunt is buried in Suzhou, I plan to go to pay respects, I am not familiar with it over there, let Sister Lin accompany me, she has been away from home for so many years, and now that she is back, it is time to go and put incense on my aunt."

Lin Daiyu said: "Daddy, when my mother left, I was still young, and I have been at my grandmother's house for so many years, and I have never been to my mother's grave seriously, and I also want to go to my mother's house to pay respects."

Lin Ruhai sighed and said, "I have been busy with official business all these years, and I have never been to worship, this time you two want to pay a good tribute to your mother, and also tell your mother about the marriage of the two of you, so that she can also feel at ease."

Lin Daiyu nodded when she heard this, her heart was also a little sad, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Lin Daiyu choked up and said, "Daddy, don't worry, my daughter will save it."

Lin Ruhai said to Jia Cong: "Take care of Yu'er, don't let her be wronged, go to the account room to pay 50,000 taels of silver, and take it with you on the road."

Jia Cong swore and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Sister Lin, forget the silver, I am not short of money, this time I came out, brought 100,000 taels of silver from home, and made a small fortune in Yangzhou, which is enough."

Lin Ruhai said: "Whatever you want, I know that your kid will not be too honest, but in the future, try to deal with your hands and feet as much as possible, and don't leave a handle for others."

Jia Cong said, "Thank you father-in-law for your teachings, I will definitely remember it."

······

Early the next morning.

More than a dozen carriages left the Yanxun Yamen, and under the escort of a group of personal soldiers, they drove towards the wharf in Yangzhou.

The major salt merchants in Yangzhou who got the news, and some government officials, breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he has been promised by Jia Cong that he will not attack them again, if he does not leave Yangzhou for a day, these people will not be at ease for a day and will always be vigilant.

Now, this living Yama is finally leaving, and everyone is relieved.

Jia Cong commanded the carriage to get on the boat, let Daiyu and the others get off the carriage, and took them to the third floor.

Ruyan and Xiaoman were picked up by Jia Cong a day in advance, arranged to stay on the boat, and when they saw Jia Cong and others coming, they hurriedly greeted them.

"I've seen Grandpa Guo, I've seen all the girls."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "No need to be polite, let me introduce to you, this is Ruyan, the musician I specially invited back, is very accomplished in music, and is also very proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a versatile woman."

This is my fiancée Miss Lin, this is my sister, this is my cousin Yun, and this is Mandarin Duck······

Jia Cong gave them a general introduction, and they all saw each other one by one, and they all knew each other.

However, the eyes of everyone looking at Jia Cong were a little strange.

Shi Xiangyun said, "Three

Brother, what are you asking for a musician? Do you still want to learn music?"

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Sister Yun is right, I came to Yangzhou and went out for a walk, and suddenly found that I almost didn't know anything except for practicing martial arts and fighting, that is, when I was a child, I studied with Sister Lin for a few days.

I don't fight anymore, and I'm not very busy with errands, and besides, I'm not big now, so I want to learn some more skills, so that I can pass the time when I have nothing to do, and I can also cultivate my sentiments, and if you like it, you can also learn together."

Lin Daiyu glared at Jia Cong with a smile, and said in her heart that this is a ghost in the lake, please come back with such a beautiful musician?

However, guarding so many people did not expose him, which can be regarded as saving him some face.

I don't know when I got it back? I haven't seen him go out alone in the past few days?

For Jia Cong, she is still relatively relieved, except for not being at home when she searched her house a few days ago, she has almost accompanied them everywhere since then, and has hardly gone out alone.

Jia Lian is different, he lingers in the Qinglou painting boat every day, almost never at home, and only comes back occasionally to see.

Compared with Jia Lian, Jia Cong is a good baby.

In addition to bringing back a big jade from the grassland, this should be the first woman he took the initiative to find from outside.

There are many women in the family, Lin Daiyu doesn't mind much, and her father also has a lot of concubines.

Even Xiangling and Da Yu'er are so beautiful, and they haven't confiscated the house yet, so what do they have to worry about.

After a few words of greeting with Ruyan, everyone went back to their rooms.

The boat slowly left the Yangzhou wharf and sailed in the direction of Jinling.
