Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 168

On the first day of March, after the palace examination, Lin Bo actually went one step further, and was born as a Jinshi with the [-]nd grade and [-]th bestowal, and won another Jinshi memorial archway for the Lin family.

Hui Yuanlang was very energetic during the Tang Yin Palace Examination. He first launched a policy of banning the sea, then attacked the feudal towns, and then turned to commercial taxes, admonishing the imperial court to revise the tax law and increase commercial taxes...

When Jia Cong heard about Tang Yin's feat, he took a deep breath. This guy is so radical, isn't he afraid of being thrown into the fellow Jinshi?
Fortunately, this is the imperial examination, and the emperor still pays close attention to Huiyuan's paper.On the day of the apricot list, because of the answers to the palace examination, the emperor hand-picked Tang Yin as Tanhua Lang, which can be regarded as keeping this stunned young man.

After the selection of the museum, Lin Bo was finally honored by his clan Bolin Ruhai, and there was an extra scholar named Lin in the Hanlin Academy, who was either copying books and sorting out the scriptures every day or on the way to sort out the scriptures.

It was not until this day that Lin Ruhai was about to arrive in the capital that he took two days off and went to Tongzhou Wharf with Jia Cong, Jia Baoyu, and Xue Pan.

On the sparkling canal, Lin Ruhai stood at the bow of the boat accompanied by Jinse, and the wind blowing in front of him kept stirring his heartstrings.

"Ten years of life and death are boundless, don't think about it, never forget it. There is a lonely grave thousands of miles away, there is no place to talk about desolation..."

After ten years of absence, he is finally returning to the capital!

It's a pity that Min'er died in Gusu and never set foot on the land of the capital again.

Jinse's eyes were also red, and she looked ahead.

After a long time, the speed of the boat slowed down, and the busy figures on the pier could already be seen not far away. She reminded softly: "Master, Tongzhou pier is here."

Bang!
boom!
Just as Lin Ruhai was looking at the pier in front of him, the hull of the boat shook violently, and under the strong shaking, he almost fell to the ground.

As soon as he grabbed Jinse who was about to fall off the bow, there was a swishing sound in his ear, and a feathered arrow brushed past his ear...

"There are assassins, protect the master!"

The guards of the Lin family seemed to be used to assassination. The four guards immediately surrounded Lin Ruhai and Jinse, and slowly moved to the cabin.

Whoosh...

The official boat could no longer move, and there were boats at both ends of the front and back, and several small boats surrounded the left and right sides. The masked gangsters shot arrows at Lin Ruhai one by one. The guards who originally protected Lin Ruhai had fallen. Two people got off.

When they finally returned to the cabin, the thief had already jumped onto the deck of the official ship and started fighting with the guards of the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai picked up the scribe's sword hanging on the bulkhead, and said to Jinse: "You first organize our belongings, and wait for me to come back with peace of mind."

Lin Fu led people to block the door of the cabin, and reported to Lin Ruhai calmly: "Master, there are many thieves, no less than 200 of them!"

bang bang bang...

Several feathered arrows pierced fiercely into the wooden plank of the hull beside him, and the tails of the arrows buzzed.Lin Ru took a root from the altitude, looked carefully, and said with a sneer: "The one who hides his head and shows his tail, can't be found out just by erasing the mark?"

He turned his head and said to a middle-aged man with sword-brows beside him, "General Xia, this is the standard arrow used in the army, just look at it."

The man took the feather arrow and came to a general conclusion just by looking at it.

"It is true that the arrows are used in the military. From the point of view of the production method, there are nine out of ten arrows produced in Jinling. We set out from Yangzhou on the way, and there were as many as seven assassinations, large and small. It seems that the adults pushed these people into a hurry. gone."

Lin Ruhai looked at the fight in front of him without fear, and laughed loudly: "Under the bright sun, there will be nowhere to hide!"

……

Jia Cong had already seen the official ship flying the Lin character flag from a distance, and was eagerly waiting for his uncle and father, but suddenly saw several small boats surrounding it, and then there was a faint sound of fighting.

"Okay, there are thieves!"

"What? A thief? Where?"

Baoyu looked around in a daze, and leaned towards Jia Cong involuntarily.

Jia Cong hurriedly called Jia Shishi to come over, handed him the Panlong Golden Token hanging on his waist, and said: "Go to Shenwu Zhongwei to find Old General Shen, there are bandits!"

Then he told Xue Pan and Baoyu to hide in Tongzhou City, and then boarded an empty boat docked at the wharf with Lin Bo and the remaining [-] or so soldiers, and used an ingot of gold to drive the boat to the killing place .

Fortunately, the distance is not very far, within half a stick of incense, Jia Cong and others have already arrived at Lin Ruhai. The owner of the ship was afraid and dared not go any further. Jia Cong put the knife on his neck and said indifferently: "500 taels Silver, hit it!"

It has to be said that money can turn ghosts around.

As soon as Jia Cong finished speaking, the timid ship owner gritted his teeth and ordered his subordinates to row the oars. With the force of the sail, he ran over the small boat in front and hit the official boat.

The two parties that were fighting were in full swing, but the rhythm was disrupted by the violent shaking. When Jia Cong led his men to the bow of the boat, the situation where there were many thieves was instantly reversed.

Jia Cong drew his knife and shouted: "Uncle, Daddy, the baby is here!"

All the soldiers of Rongguo Mansion were fierce men who crawled out of the dead, and they reopened the bandits' encirclement when they met each other, and sent Jia Cong to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help frowning, and brought back Jia Cong who was screaming to kill, and scolded: "Son of a thousand gold, you can't sit down. What are you messing around with like a child? Just wait here, the Dragon Guards will be here soon .”

"It turned out to be Mr. Jia, the last general of the Dragon Guard Yangzhou Qianhu Xia Chongyu, deputy Qianhu of the Yangzhou Qianhu Office, paid a visit to Mr. Jia!"

Jia Cong was a little dazed, the thieves almost took over the entire boat, why are father-in-law and this Xia Qianhu not in a hurry at all?
But Xia Qianhu calmly explained: "Counting this time, Mr. Lin has been assassinated seven times during this trip. In order to wipe out this group of thieves, Mr. Lin and the last general made a plan and deliberately exposed their loopholes." The thief came in..."

dong dong dong...

Just as he was talking, there were bursts of war drums in his ears.

Xia Chongyu laughed loudly: "No, our people are here!"

Not only were several large ships approaching behind the ship, but also two soldiers and horses were killed on both sides of the canal.Those small boats around the official ship immediately wanted to flee in all directions, but were forced back by the dense crossbow arrows.

The thieves who fought with the guards of the Lin family and Jia family on the deck also gave up the assassination and jumped off the ship one after another to escape.

It's a pity that the only gap is far from the shadowy soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses of Shenwu Zhongwei have already come from the direction of Tongzhou Wharf, and this time the pockets are completely tied.

Don't expect these thieves to have the fearless spirit of resisting to the death. When the pockets became tighter and tighter, few people even committed suicide. After more than half of the casualties, the rest surrendered with weapons.

Xia Chongyu let out a long sigh of relief, grinned and said, "The last general has gained all his achievements for nothing, Mr. Jia is really the lucky star of the last general."

He was ordered to escort Lin Ruhai to the north, and was disturbed by the assassination all the way.Fortunately, they arrived at Tongzhou Wharf safely today, and also wiped out a group of more than two hundred bandits along the way, which can be said to be a great achievement.

Jia Cong waved his hand and replied, "That's the clever plan of Uncle and Xia Qianhu, plus the brother from Shenwu Zhongwei came in time, it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Ruhai planned the refusal of the two, and said: "It's better to go to Beijing quickly, and have a good trial of this group of people. It is serious to find out who is behind the scenes."

Xia Chongyu clasped his fists in response and said: "What your lord said is that in the end, I will arrange someone to interrogate. This time, I will definitely wipe out all these monsters!"

……

Lin Ruhai, a doctor in Yazhong and a patrol censor in Yangzhou, went to Beijing under the order. He set off from Yangzhou to Tongzhou Wharf, and was assassinated seven times in a row. The news spread that the capital was in an uproar.

The majestic third-rank official was blocked by thieves in front of Tongzhou pier on an official ship and almost shot into a hedgehog.

This time, the civil and military officials were extremely united and demanded that the case be investigated strictly, and the person behind the scenes must be found out.

After all, no one wants to be shot into a hedgehog by thieves blocking the canal when he is out on business in Beijing.

Because it was already evening, the group spent the night at the Tongzhou posthouse, and set off for Beijing at dawn the next day.

After Lin Ruhai washed up at the posthouse in the capital as usual, he changed into official clothes and went to the palace to have an audience, while Jinse returned to Rongguo Mansion accompanied by Lin Bai and others.

Jia Cong accompanied Lin Ruhai to wait outside the Palace of Qinzheng, and the eunuch Xia Shouzhong greeted him not long after.

The papers on the emperor's desk are always piled high, the diligent emperor seems to never tire, every time he sees him, he will bury his head in the papers.

"Chen Lin Ruhai (Jia Cong) greets His Majesty, long live long live long live!"

The ink pen in Liu Heng's hand didn't stop, he raised his eyes a little, and said in a deep voice: "Be flat, give me a seat. Wait for me to finish approving these papers."

Jia Cong had gotten used to the emperor's temper, so he sat carelessly on a chair beside him, and even begged Xia Shouzhong for refreshments to satisfy his hunger.

After all, it's a long way from Tongzhou to the capital, and I didn't even eat a bite. I'm really hungry!
Lin Ruhai stared dumbfounded at his little son-in-law biting his snack, unable to react for a long time.

"Lin Qing, don't be surprised, this kid has always been like this, I'm used to it."

The emperor finally put down the vermilion pen, stretched his waist, and looked at his former acquaintance with a smile.

They are indeed acquaintances. When Lin Ruhai was parading through the streets, he and the old thirteen went to watch the excitement.When Lin Ruhai was in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he often impeached the dude Prince Zhongshun Wang Liu Ke. For this reason, Liu Ke even used Lin Ruhai's sack, and his good brother Liu Heng went to the Lin family to make amends in person.

Jia Cong nodded humbly and continued to eat.He also picked up a piece and handed it to the emperor, and said vaguely: "The minister is almost hungry, is your majesty squeamish? Today's dim sum tastes really bad..."

Gollum...

Lin Ruhai's stomach just happened to groan, and he quickly stood up and pleaded guilty to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for your dishonesty!"

"Sit, sit, it's not Fengtian Hall, so you don't need to be polite..."

Liu Heng smiled indifferently, pointed to Jia Cong who was always clicking, and said, "Look at your son-in-law, it makes me feel more at ease like him."

Lin Ruhai bowed down respectfully as before, and replied solemnly: "Rites are those who govern the country, order the society, order the people, and benefit the successors. Rituals are the responsibility of the country. How can your majesty abandon it lightly? You should respect it and keep it... "

Liu Heng suddenly laughed, and the laughter interrupted Lin Ruhai's words.He winked at Jia Cong: "Little fat man, am I right?"

Jia Cong stuffed the last piece of pastry into his mouth, chewed it once or two, put the tea down his throat, clapped his hands and got up and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty's holy eyes are like torches, and you can discern every detail, and I am so admirable!"

Then he distressedly took out a small ingot of gold ingot from the pocket at his waist and put it on the emperor's desk.

He was aggrieved and said to Lin Ruhai: "Uncle, Your Majesty bet with me that you must still be the same Lin Yushi who dared to remonstrate..."
