Chapter 51
Now that the Yanzheng has been eliminated, and the tumor of the Zhen family has been cut off, it is natural for Lin Ruhai to return to Beijing.Otherwise, even those princes would not be able to tolerate him.

A month later, with the assistance of the housekeeper and Nanny Lin, Daiyu commanded the servants of the Lin family to tidy up the furniture and belongings in the house in Yangzhou, pack them up, and send reliable workers to those who were not needed for a long time. The people were sent directly to the old house in Gusu, and the rest were collected in boxes and cages, loaded on a ship, and transported back to the capital.

This time the Lin family rented four large boats, one for the Lin family to rest, and one for Lin Ruhai and several of his staff. Of course, many salutes were packed in the cargo hold.The remaining two boats are dedicated to luggage.That's it, and it's full of pretense.

On this day, the wind is sunny and the sky is cloudless, which is a good day to travel.The Lin family bid farewell to their relatives and friends in Yangzhou, as well as Lin Ruhai's colleagues in the officialdom, and finally set off to march towards the capital.

Lin Ruhai stood on the deck of the first boat, looking at the vast river, with mixed feelings in his heart.Life in the past few years can be called thrilling and full of crises.

Originally, the emperor sent him to serve as the censor of the salt class to let him clear up the salt administration in the south of the Yangtze River.Originally, he didn't take it too seriously.He thought that it was just a few corrupt officials. The previous officials of the Salt Administration failed to do it.At that time, when he received the transfer letter, he secretly made up his mind that he would not be like this.

But it wasn't until he came to Jiangnan that he realized that the job of salt administration was not as easy as he thought.Officials protect each other, join forces, and attack those who stick to their positions.Even vicious tricks such as assassination and poisoning can be used.

He is obviously not such a pedantic and inflexible person, he thinks he is quite smooth.However, he had to change his strategy after he experienced a startled horse and drug use, and his wife was attacked when she went out.

On the surface, he gave in and began to drink and eat with those people. He no longer rejected the priceless and rare things brought by others, but smiled one by one. After accepting it, he turned around and went back to the study to record the gifts he received one by one, and secretly sent the ledger to the capital every once in a while.Since then, there have been more strange faces with ghostly figures in the mansion.

In fact, what Lin Ruhai wanted to say was that he really didn't think about dragging the Zhen family into trouble so quickly. He originally wanted to slowly collect all the evidence, and then wipe out the Jiangnan officialdom in one fell swoop.However, the blame is only to blame the Zhen family for being too arrogant, attacking his wife and children in the inner house again and again, if he doesn't pay back one or two, he will be a man in vain!

In fact, after finding out that the Zhen family was involved in the death of his first son, he secretly speeded up.However, he didn't expect that the Zhen family would be so insolent, deceiving him that there was no one in the Lin family?
Lin Ruhai thought of the thrilling scene after scene last year, and felt a little lucky at this moment.

In March last year, he received news that it was a riot at the Pinghu Salt Works.He took a few of his personal guards and the masters sent by the emperor and went straight to the place of riots.How did they know that there was an assassination incident on the road, and all the people who came were masters of one against ten, and their moves went straight to the door.Fortunately, he had learned kungfu from Daiyu for more than two years, and specially practiced kungfu in order to deceive others, his body became much more dexterous, and he had several masters to protect him, so nothing happened.

When they arrived at the salt field, those salt people were provoked by others, and they were about to make trouble on the spot, and many even rushed forward to beat the court officials.On the spot, people around the salt merchant drew their knives and wounded several people. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, it was he who remained calm under the influence of Daiyu's pure heart charm and made a decisive decision to let the people around him tie up those wounded. The human beings arrested a few more provocateurs, treated the rest of the salt people with emotion and reason, and threatened them with righteous words, and only then did they control the situation.

After all the riots in the salt field calmed down, there was still someone waiting for him when he returned home.The son he finally got was almost killed by those scheming servants. When he finally rescued his son, Lin Hai was furious. With a refined style, he began to act resolutely, mobilized all the power he could use, and collected the criminal evidence of the Zhen family and other collaborators as quickly as possible, and then went to the heaven to listen.

What happened next started with the Zhen family being confiscated, imprisoned, beheaded and exiled, followed by a bloodbath in the Jiangnan officialdom.Lin Ruhai shook his head thinking that when he went to Jinling to raid the Zhen family's house, the old lady of the Zhen family was so stubborn that she insisted on letting everyone in the Zhen family go, otherwise blood would be splashed on the spot.

If you really want to protect your children and grandchildren, you should train them all to be talented, and then manage your children and grandchildren without making mistakes, so as to ensure the safety and security of your children and grandchildren for generations, instead of relying on the dignity of taking care of the emperor like Mrs. Zhen. Watching the children and grandchildren of the family do evil, and when they get into trouble, they want to rely on their little decency to protect their shortcomings.But I don't know, no matter how decent it is, can it live the imperial power with dignity?The Zhen family dared to take money from the treasury, took money from the emperor's pocket, and even killed the cronies sent by the emperor. Such insolence, what else would they not dare to do?How much decency has been polished off in this way.

Thinking of what his wife Jia Min said before, that the old lady of the Zhen family was decent in Beijing, and that even the imperial concubine of the imperial family would smile at the old lady Zhen, Lin Ruhai shook her head again.The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. This is what I'm talking about.Since such words have spread, it shows that Mrs. Zhen herself is not cautious, so how can she manage her children and grandchildren well!
From this, Lin Ruhai thought of what Daiyu and Jia Min had mentioned before, that his mother-in-law had always spoiled Baoyu, the second son of the second house, and was still hanging out in the inner house when he was a few years old, avoiding economic affairs like snakes and scorpions, such a man How can I take up the heavy responsibility of the family, how can I hold up a sky for my wife and children?It must be another person who is hopeless in the country and family.Fortunately, the mother-in-law has dispelled the idea of ​​pairing him with her own Yu'er, otherwise it would be a headache.

That's all, let's not worry about worrying.There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge.Lin Hai glanced at the few birds that flew by from time to time on the vast river, then turned around and entered the cabin with his sleeves turned.

Half a month later, the Lin family finally arrived in the capital.

Prior to this, the second housekeeper had already returned to Beijing with his people to repair the house and take care of the house. Finally, the repairs were completed before the Lin family arrived in Beijing, and it looked brand new.

On this day, the second housekeeper had received the news that Lin Ruhai had sent someone back first, saying that he had arrived today, so he had people clean Qingran Residence in the main courtyard, Baihuawu where Daiyu lived, and Haoran where Lin Jin lived. live.Then take someone to meet you at the pier.
