Yin Ruhai said, "Don't you believe me, my lord?" ”

He Yan said: "I just sighed. ”

"But it's also a good thing that Lord Yin donated all the money, which just proves his innocence."

"But what exactly is Lord Yin's last resort, and what do you know?"

As soon as Yin Ruhai heard this, she thought about it and told her what she knew.

For example, during the emperor's last southern tour, local expenses were explicitly forbidden, and all expenses were allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Zhang Feng and Zhang's father-in-law still demanded 2 million taels of rewards from the salt merchants, and so on......

After He Yan listened to him, what she said was the same as what Ma Dechang wrote, and the two of them were the same.

Confirming that it was true, He Yan said: "Okay, I understand." ”

"Old sister-in-law, although I don't know what to eat in prison here, but the prison food is generally not good, you can take it."

"Just stay here for a few days."

"After I report it here, as long as the will comes down and says you're okay, I'll let you go, don't worry."

Yin Ruhai said, "Okay, then please leave it to my lord." ”

Then He Yan left.

After returning to the county office, Master He asked how he asked, and He Yan picked some, such as Zhang Feng was greedy for 2 million taels and told him.

Master He listened and said, "We came to Yangzhou this time by mistake." ”

He Yan said: "Nonsense, I didn't know it was wrong." ”

"But the emperor asked me to come, can I not come?"

"Say something useful."

Master He thought for a while and said, "I think adults should enter the capital to face the saint." ”

"When the adults arrive in the capital, show the emperor the words, and the emperor will understand."

"And as soon as the adults enter the capital, many people understand at the same time."

He Yan didn't understand what he said, many people understood something, but they didn't ask: "I still entered Beijing, and now it's too late to do a lot of things." ”

"You go to this excerpt, write down the situation of Yin Ruhai's family truthfully, and then send it out together with that pair of words."

Master He originally wanted to persuade He Yan to enter Beijing, and when the time came, He Shen would come to the post house in advance to see He Yan.

However, seeing that He Yan had already made a decision, he had no choice but to write an excerpt, and by the way, he wrote another letter to He Shen to tell him about the situation.

When he finished writing, He Yan saw that there was no problem, and after stamping it, the fold and the pair of words were sent out.

A few days later, when Qianlong received He Yan's excerpt and that pair of words, he was angry again.

scolded Yin Ruhai for being a soft bone, since he was not greedy at all, but he came to him, and he didn't say anything, so he committed suicide like this.

Immediately issued another order, so that He Yan could find out the deficit of Jianghuai salt within half a year.

He Yan received the fold of return, and after seeing the approval, it would take half a year, so he would rest for a few months.

Then He Yan released Yin Ruhai's family before leaving, and then took Master He back to Yangzhou.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Now these salt merchants have seen that He Yan has not made any movement since he came back, and they are not in a hurry to hand over the fake account books that have been made now.

However, the Wuting Bridge has already begun to be built with the funds raised by the salt merchants, and He Yan also went to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.

And on the side of the imperial court, Ah Gui has pacified Jinchuan and returned triumphantly.

Qianlong was very happy, yes, Gui Da added a seal to the businessman, directly went out of the general into the prime minister, and became the head of the military aircraft department.

Bao Yi'an was overjoyed when he heard that Ah Gui had returned to the court victoriously and was appointed as the Minister of Military Aircraft of the First Auxiliary Foreman, and in the future, with Ah Gui's relationship, he would have a big backer, and he began to cook excitedly at home.

What he didn't know was that Agui Na really remembered that he and Wang Chaozong asked for credit for them when they came back to face the saint in triumph, but they were reprimanded by Qianlong.

An official is an official, a business is a businessman, you can't get too close, you have to be measured, be a friend in your heart, don't take it out.

Of course, meritorious service must be rewarded, and Qianlong still rewarded the two of them.

A few days later, the reward arrived in Yangzhou.

Wang Chaozong and Bao Yi'an made meritorious contributions in the battle of Jinchuan, and rewarded Wang Chaozong with the title of political envoy and a yellow coat.

Bao Yi'an was also rewarded with the rank of inspector, but there was no yellow coat.

Now Bao Yi'an was very excited.

Wang Chaozong was also very happy at this time, his ambition since he was a child was to be an official, but he didn't expect to become a salt merchant in the end, and now he looks at the top on the table, the court clothes, and the yellow jacket, and he really likes it in his heart.

Then he decided to hold a banquet and invite all the people in Yangzhou City to celebrate.

A few days later, Wang Chaozong's house was lit up.

It was raining heavily this day, but it didn't delay the people who went to Wang's house to congratulate him.

When He Yan took Master He to Wang's house, he saw that there was a lot of activity in front of the gate of Wang's house, and people carrying gifts kept entering Wang's house.

Everyone saw He Yan come to the branch salute.

He Yan smiled and said: "If it's raining heavily, you don't need to be polite, let's enter." ”

The person who greeted the guests at the door of Wang's house ran to He Yan and said with a respectful smile: "Greetings, please come in." ”

After He Yan entered, he saw Lu Degong, Ma Dechang, and Bao Yi'an who were waiting for He Yan.

As soon as Bao Yi'an saw He Yan, he smiled happily: "Lord Ah is here." ”

He Yan walked up to them and asked, "Why don't you go inside?" ”

Lu Degong smiled: "Aren't you waiting for the adults to come, and then go in together." ”

He Yan smiled: "Then let's go." ”

Then when he went in again, Wang Chaozong saw it and came over with a fist and smiled: "Lord A, Lord Lu." ”

He Yan and Lu Degong also hugged their fists in return.

Bao Yi'an smiled happily: "Chaozong, stay on a rainy day." ”

"Looks like we're going to have a good drink at your place for a day."

Wang Chaozong smiled: "What's the matter." ”

"My lord, please, Brother Bao, Brother Ma, please."

"Today, the dynasty is the east, and I hope you will have fun."

"If you don't get drunk, you won't return, please come inside."

Under the guidance of Wang Chaozong, everyone came to a quiet hall where no noise could be heard.

He Yan sat on the upper hand, and Wang Chaozong and Lu Degong sat on He Yan's left and right.

After the wine glass was full, He Yan raised his glass and said: "Don't say anything else, congratulations to Wang Zongshang for being rewarded and becoming a second grade." ”

Wang Chaozong smiled: "Thank you, sir." ”

He Yan smiled and said, "Of course, this time there is also Mr. Bao, congratulations to you." ”

Bao Yi'an took the wine glass, stood up and smiled happily: "Lord Xie." ”

He Yan smiled: "Come on, let's toast to the happy event of Mr. Wang and Mr. Bao." ”

"." Everyone echoed happily, and then they all drank it all.

Everyone on He Yan's side began to drink, and the front hall was also very lively.

Not only officials, salt merchants, all kinds of guests invited, but also the thin horses who played the piano and sang songs in Mingyufang.

They are all dressed up in flowers, bright and moving, to entertain the guests.

And when He Yan needed help here, it was naturally Yao Mengmeng who came.
