The news of the salt inspector, Lin Ruhai, being poisoned and on the verge of death spread throughout the entire Yangzhou City. The salt inspector's office was also heavily guarded.
At this moment, Lin Ruhai and Jia Xuan were drinking tea in the study, and the one serving them was Lin Daiyu. Today, Lin Daiyu was wearing a long green satin dress embroidered with butterflies playing with crabapple. There was a red gold buyao on her head, making her look elegant and refined, charming beyond compare. Jia Xuan was a little stunned, and Daiyu was so embarrassed that she glared at him and even waved her little fist.
"Cough cough!" Lin Ruhai cleared his throat, interrupting the two's childish behavior.
"If I'm not wrong, the salt merchants are about to take action. I only have 500 salt. At that time, we can only rely on the soldiers of your Yangzhou camp.”
"Uncle, don't worry. Everything was ready. They were just waiting for the snake to come out of its hole and catch it all in one fell swoop.”Jia Xuan said.
At night, in the east courtyard of Yangzhou City, Lin Ruhai was really done for. This is all thanks to Brother Li's ingenious plan." A salt merchant shouted excitedly.
"Yes, yes! Let's toast Brother Li." The atmosphere in the hall was extremely lively.
"We still have to be careful in case the opponent lures the snake out of its hole.”Elder Bai said.
"Elder Bai, you're too cautious. Let's not talk about us sending people to keep an eye on the salt inspector's office, even the salt workers of the salt inspector's office. Most of them are currently in the salt inspector's office, so how can they have the strength to encircle and suppress us?”Huang said.
"Don't forget, there's still the Yangzhou camp. There were more than ten thousand soldiers there. If they make a move, we won't have the strength to resist.”Elder Bai said.
"Don't worry, Elder Bai. We've been sending people to keep an eye on the Yangzhou camp. They had gone out to train for a few days. It's impossible for him to come back at this time." a salt merchant said.
These salt merchants were used to being arrogant. Usually, the Yangzhou magistrate had to give them some face. Therefore, they did not take Jia Xuan, this child, to heart.
"Since everyone says so, let's ship the goods the day after tomorrow. However, I feel that something is wrong." Elder Bai said.
"Is there really something wrong with Elder Bai?”The salt merchant dressed like a scholar asked.
"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that I always feel a little uneasy. Perhaps I was too cautious." After saying that, Elder Bai even laughed at himself. He was still old.
"However, you must send someone to keep an eye on the salt inspector's office for the next two days. If there is any movement, report it immediately.”Elder Bai reminded.
Lin Manor said," Today, the salt merchants of Yangzhou gathered at the East City Hui Restaurant. It seems that this snake is about to come out of its hole. How are the preparations on your side?”Lin Ruhai asked.
"Don't worry, uncle. All the soldiers of the Yangzhou camp are hidden nearby and can be dispatched at any time. Moreover, they had implemented a mutual supervision system, so no news would leak out.”Jia Xuan smiled confidently. Under the modern supervision system, nothing could go wrong. Even if they had spies in the Yangzhou camp, no news would spread.
"That's good. After this matter was over, the salt tax in Yangzhou would be stabilized for a few years, and it could be considered as completing His Majesty's trust.”Lin Ruhai laughed. Of course, a few years later, another force would be formed. However, Lin Ruhai should have already returned to the capital by then. Since ancient times, illegal salt had been banned many times, because when the profits reached a certain level, there would be people who would take the risk.
"After this matter is over, uncle will be transferred back to the Divine Capital, right?”Jia Xuan asked.
"It won't be so fast. He would probably have to stay in Yangzhou for another year or two before he could return to the capital. This was to allow His Majesty's people to smoothly take over the salt administration.”Lin Ruhai smiled with a relaxed expression.
" Father and Third Brother, hurry up and use the Wanshan." At this time, Daiyu personally came in with a food box. In the past few days, Lin Daiyu had been personally managing everything. It was just in case.
"Yu 'Er, you've worked hard these few days." Lin Ruhai looked at the exhausted Daiyu and said with some heartache.
"I'm not suffering. As long as I can accompany Father for a long time, I'll be happy to do anything.”Daiyu smiled.
Jia Xuan took the food box and was about to help Daiyu set the table. However, she was chased aside by Daiyu." You're still a man. Is this something you can do?”
Jia Xuan didn't care at all." What's wrong with that? I'm helping the person I like. What's wrong with doing something?"”
"Bah! You're talking nonsense. Watch carefully.”After saying that, he laughed.
Lin Ruhai looked at his daughter. Although she looked a little tired, she was still in good spirits. Moreover, his body was much stronger than before. Just this point made Lin Ruhai extremely satisfied with Jia Xuan.
Before his wife died, she had hoped to pair the two Yu 'Er. He did not object. As long as that Baoyu could live up to his expectations, it was not impossible. However, he had sent someone to inquire about Baoyu. How could such a profligate silkpants be worthy of his precious daughter? Brother Xuan was still the best. Although he was a concubine's son, he was capable. With his own ability, he was granted the title of first-class son by Emperor Longxing. He cared for his daughter very much. Where else could he find such a son-in-law? Moreover, he had taken the initiative to agree to help the Lin family continue their lineage. This was what made Lin Ruhai the most satisfied.
The three of them had dinner in a cheerful atmosphere. Just as the three of them were drinking tea and chatting, Lin Fu came in and said," Master, there are many people of unknown origins outside our residence. They seem to be monitoring us."”
Jia Xuan and Lin Ruhai looked at each other and smiled." Uncle, it looks like this snake can't hold it in any longer and is about to come out of its hole.”
"Yes, Lin Fu told our people outside to keep an eye on it. If there's any movement, report it quickly.”Lin Ruhai instructed Lin Fu. Lin Fu nodded and left.
