The Lin Mansion is sad on the surface, but on the inside, there are happy events and happiness.

Outside the Lin Mansion, there are all kinds of living beings, and so on.

The salt merchants relied on the news they got from Jia Lian to confirm that Lin Ruhai was really terminally ill and would die soon, so they all let go of their hands and feet, and they became more and more unscrupulous.

The same is true for the government, without Lin Ruhai's suppression, the officials took the opportunity to make a lot of money in salt affairs and made a lot of money.

During this period of time, the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the private salt business was so prosperous that it was almost put on the bright side.

Cuiyun Tower, a famous scenic spot in Yangzhou, whether it is local in Yangzhou or from other places, as long as it is a normal man, he is eager to go to "visit" for a night.

It's a pity that the high ticket price interrupted the dreams of most men.

This night, the Cuiyun Building, which entered the gold every day, was closed.

It's not that there is something wrong and can't be opened, but the entire Cuiyun Building has been wrapped up overnight.

The old bustard did not refuse for the sake of the other party's identity, of course, this is also related to the fact that the guest gave enough money.

After all, this was 10,000 taels of silver, and she really couldn't refuse.

The second floor of Cuiyun Building, inside the best box.

At this time, there were no women present, and a group of old men in their forties and fifties were chatting happily.

Suddenly...

"Brother Wang, I was invited to a banquet today, I don't know what it is?"

The one who is talking is the governor of Yangzhou, who is also the pacification envoy, and the veritable number one person in Yangzhou.

Well, it can't be counted as Yangzhou Patrol Salt Imperial Shi Lin Ruhai, although he is humble, he is not light, his power is heavier, and he is in the heart of the emperor.

It is regarded as an outlier in Yangzhou, and almost no one dares to provoke it.

In fact, the identities of the people in this box are not simple.

The people sitting on the right are all the top salt merchants in Yangzhou, and the Wang brother mentioned by Zhizhou is the head of the Wang family, the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou.

Sitting on the left are a group of big officials mainly from Zhizhou, the general judge, the head of the Ma Bu Army, and the county...

Well, if this is an assassination now, it won't be too successful, as long as you kill one of them casually, the entire Jiangdu, and even the entire Yangzhou, will have to be turned upside down.

Of course, that can't happen.

Because, there are countless officers and soldiers inside and outside the building, and there are countless officers and soldiers, and outlaws protect them, and not a single fly can fly in.

Faced with Zhizhou's question, the head of the Wang family asked rhetorically.

"Lord Zhizhou, are you having a comfortable time these days?"

How could a person like Zhizhou not understand what the other party meant, wasn't he just asking, is it easy to make money without Lin Ruhai?

Moreover, he also heard the other party's intentions from it, but he still deliberately pretended to be a lake.

"Comfortable, I've been living a very comfortable life in Yangzhou!"

The head of the Wang family frowned, and secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, but thinking of the purpose of this time, he still had to take the initiative to say it.

"Lord Lin is so seriously ill, I don't know when he will recover?"

Zhizhou didn't show any abnormality, and said expressionlessly.

"Ah, Lord Lin has his own natural appearance, I believe that he will be able to recover soon and continue to inspect Yangzhou Salt Affairs."

"My lord, do you really want to see it?"

As soon as these words came out, the box instantly fell silent.

"Brother Wang, what do you want?"

"Lord Lin is really working too hard, for the sake of his body, it's better to rest."

Zhizhou frowned, he immediately understood the hidden meaning of these words, the other party wanted to get rid of Lin Ruhai's obstacle.

It's not surprising to think about it, although Lin Ruhai will accept bribes, his methods are ruthless, not to mention scraping a lot of wealth from salt merchants, and he also severely cracks down on illegal salt.

The salt merchants have long wanted to change the history of the salt patrol, and replace it with someone who is more likely to corrupt and even control.

It's a pity that Lin Ruhai is in the emperor's heart and is not easy to move.

However, Lin Ruhai's "serious illness" this time gave them a chance, as long as the government and the army did not interfere, they were confident that Lin Ruhai would naturally "die of illness".

Zhizhou weighed the pros and cons and made a decision.

"Alas, Lord Lin is overworked, it's time to rest, Lord Qi, don't you say?"

At this time, a rough man replied without any hesitation.

"What your lord says is very true."

With the approval of the head of Ma Bujun, all the salt merchants and officials showed smug and expectant smiles.

It can be seen that they have been suffering like the sea for a long time.

"Everyone, let's relax today and continue to serve the imperial court tomorrow."

Zhizhou raised his glass, and everyone echoed.

Soon, the box was full of flowers, and the warblers sang and danced.

It's just that a group of salt merchants have withdrawn very discerningly, and it is impossible for them to really "play" with a group of officials.

In another box, the head of the Wang family said without hesitation.

"Zhizhou only gave us one night's time, now immediately unite people, and Lin Ruhai must be solved tonight."

"Okay."

No one has any objections, after all, Lin Ruhai is their common enemy.

Green sac pharmacy, backyard.

Ye Yuan looked at the man and woman in front of him in surprise, his expression was very rich.

Both of them were his customers.

It's just that one of them is the kind that was unjustly slaughtered, and the other is the kind that took advantage of it, which is not the same.

These two are Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu, two cousins.

Lin Ruhai, the old fox, actually sent them to Ye Yuan to live here temporarily, saying that he would come to pick them up tomorrow morning after cleaning up the garbage in the Yangzhou Mansion.

At this moment, Jia Lian, who was still a little confused just now, widened his eyes and glared angrily at the unscrupulous profiteer in front of him.

Ye Yuan didn't have any obligation to get used to him, and asked with a straight face.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at you!"

Ye Yuan was a little depressed, Jia Lian, a noble son whose ancestral home is Jinling and now lives in the capital, can actually pick up his words, it is really strange.

However, this did not prevent Ye Yuan from continuing to scold him.

"Don't look at me like that, what? Mr. Jia has become a resentful woman. ”

Daiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then quickly covered her mouth, and then... Laughing secretly.

Look at those little crescents, not to mention how brilliant they are.

Jia Lian was sad and angry in his heart, but he couldn't accuse Ye Yuan's crime in public.

After all, you can't say that kind of thing in front of Daiyu.

However, Jia Lian cares, Ye Yuan doesn't care.

"Haha, why bother with Master Jia, is the medicine not good?"

How does this make people answer?

Jia Lian said embarrassedly.

"Ahem, it's easy to use, don't talk about this, has Xing'er's room been cleaned up, I want to take a rest."

"Alright."

Hearing Xing'er's answer, Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief and fled.

Ye Yuan had a large number of people, and he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

After all, Jia Lian is also his loyal customer.

Moreover, if he enters Beijing in the future, he may continue to "rob" money from him.

"Ahh

Daiyu yawned quietly, and Ye Yuan proposed.

"Miss Lin, let's go in and rest too."

"Okay."

Before approaching the room, she said thank you softly, and without waiting for Ye Yuan to respond, she went in by herself.

"What is this called?"

Ye Yuan shook his head helplessly and walked into the master's room.

Tonight, Jia Lian lived in Ye Yuan's room, and Daiyu lived in the warehouse.

As for accommodation, don't worry.

The cousins were all prepared in advance, the maids and maids had been arranged in advance, the bedding and mosquito nets were all brand new, and they had to move a bed over.

Sure enough, it is worthy of an aristocratic family.

Look at Ye Yuan... Not envious at all.

Seeing that they were all asleep, Ye Yuan summoned Ah Yin's incarnation.
