After sending Hu Xiangyi and Feng Ziying away, Lin Yun came to the government office in front, hoping to find Lin Ruhai to report the news that Zhong Yi had found.

Unfortunately, Lin Ruhai was receiving some salt merchants and had no time to see him.

After returning to his residence from the front yard, Lin Yun reached out to push the door, but failed to do so.

He shouted into the room: "Xiao Mo, are you in the room?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Mo running out of the next room, "Third Master, where am I?"

Lin Yun said in surprise: "You are not in the room, then who closed the door?"

Xiao Mo asked with a confused look on his face: "Is your room door closed?"

Lin Yun pushed hard again, but the door still didn't move at all.

Xiao Mo also came over and pushed her, but still didn't push her away, "That's weird, I didn't see anyone coming."

Lin Yun walked to the window, glanced inside, and said, "Xiao Mo, climb in from here and open the door first."

"OK."

Xiao Mo quickly got into the window and ran to open the door.

After Lin Yun entered the house, he immediately looked around for suspicious signs. Soon, he found a large envelope placed on the desk."

He hurriedly walked over and reached for the envelope.

Xiao Mo hurriedly stopped him and said, "Third Master, be careful of the poison on it."

Lin Yun was startled by his words, but he quickly came to his senses. Xiao Mo had heard him tell martial arts stories and must have believed the contents in them.

He said angrily: "You really think there is poison that can kill people just by touching it."

"Isn't that what you said?"

"Everything I tell is just a story and cannot be taken seriously."

After Lin Yun finished speaking, he sat down next to the desk, picked up the envelope on it, opened it and looked at it.

After reading for a long time, he was stunned by the contents inside the envelope. These were clues and evidence that the Bai family had bribed officials and sold illegal salt over the years. If it could be verified to be true, the Bai family would probably not be able to escape and be executed.

end.

Seeing Lin Yun's surprised expression, Xiao Mo asked worriedly: "Third Master, are you okay?"

Lin Yunchong ordered Xiao Mo: "Hurry up and find the old housekeeper, invite my uncle over, and tell him that I have something urgent to report to him."

"OK."

Xiao Mo responded and quickly ran out the door.

Lin Yun looked through the materials in his hand again, and couldn't help but panic. Being able to investigate the secrets of the Bai family so clearly meant that there was a black hand behind the scenes. He wanted to use Lin Ruhai's knife to eradicate the Bai family.

Lose.

"Who is this person? He can easily enter the palace of the two Huai patrol salt officials without being noticed by the internal guards. This person's skills are really powerful."

Thinking of this, Lin Yun raised his hand and touched his neck, thinking to himself, "If this person wants to do harm to him, he can kill him in a minute. If not, he has to call Zhong Yi back quickly to save his life.

important."

Lin Yun was thinking wildly here when he saw Lin Ruhai hurriedly walked in and asked him: "Brother Yun, what happened?"

Lin Yun stood up, handed the materials in his hand to Lin Ruhai and said, "Uncle, someone secretly placed this in my room. It is evidence and clues about the Bai family's secret sale of illicit salt."

"What?"

Lin Ruhai was shocked when he heard this. He quickly took the materials from Lin Yun's hand, sat down and read them carefully.

After he finished reading, his face flushed with excitement and he said: "Great, with these materials, the salt lesson in Lianghuai can be easily solved."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "Uncle, why do you think someone secretly gave these materials to me?"

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he immediately calmed down. He thought for a while and said, "Someone must want to use my hand to get rid of the Bai family."

"If my uncle wants to be cruel to the Bai family, I'm worried that you will offend the big backer behind you."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "As long as the evidence is conclusive, I have nothing to fear. The worst I can do is lose my job and go back to Suzhou to farm."

Lin Yun felt speechless for a while. He was still counting on Lin Ruhai to get promoted step by step. If he went home to farm, what would he do?

He hurriedly said: "Uncle, can we just check the illegal salt and leave everything else alone for now?"

Lin Ruhai said angrily: "Childish, you won't die if you hit the snake, but you will be injured by the snake. Don't you understand this?"

"Well, that seems to be right."

Lin Ruhai stood up and said, "Don't interfere in this matter. Just study at home with peace of mind and prepare to take part in this year's provincial examination."

Lin Yun hurriedly said: "Uncle, my nephew has a small request."

"you say."

"My nephew is willing to wait until my uncle takes action against the Bai family, and then send Hu Xiangyi to lead the troops to inspect Green Willow Villa to give him a chance to make meritorious deeds."

"Okay, I will take care of him."

After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he left quickly.

Lin Yun was secretly excited in his heart. Since Green Willow Villa is a private salt hoarding place, there must be a lot of money stored in it. If he can take advantage of the inspection to make a fortune, his hard work will not be in vain.

However, when he thought that someone could enter his residence quietly, Lin Yun became worried again. The feeling of being stared at was not pleasant.

"Who is he? Is he an enemy or a friend? Why do you want to help him?"

After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave it up and just loved someone else. When he had money later, he could hire more bodyguards.

…

East of Yangzhou City, Baifu.

A luxury carriage drove into the east corner gate of the White House in the evening. After the carriage stopped, Lu Zhuoyuan stepped out of the carriage, smiled at the scar-faced man who came up to him and said, "Brother Bai, have you rested?"

The scar-faced man replied: "The old man is practicing calligraphy in the study, let me take you there."

"Thank you!"

Lu Zhuoyuan thanked him and followed the scar-faced man towards the inner residence of the Bai Mansion.

We walked through corridors and courtyards along the way, and after a long detour we came to an exquisite house.

The scar-faced man walked to a room door, knocked lightly a few times, and said, "Old man, President Lu is here."

An old voice sounded in the room, "Please come in."

"yes."

The scar-faced man reached out and pushed open the door, then motioned to Lu Zhuoyuan to let him in.

Lu Zhuoyuan raised his hand to straighten his clothes and walked slowly into the house.

When I went in, I saw an old man with white hair standing behind the desk, writing with a pen.

Beside the old man stood a young woman with stunning beauty.

Lu Zhuoyuan took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "Old Master, Hui Niang agreed to take on this job, but she wants to increase the remuneration by one hundred thousand taels. A deposit of fifty thousand will be paid first, and the rest will be paid later."

The old man chuckled and said, "You have such a strong tone, and you are not afraid of being strangled to death."

"How about I reject her?"

"Promise her."

The old man put down the brush in his hand, raised his head and asked Lu Zhuoyuan, "Are all the salt merchants from other places here?"

Lu Zhuoyuan: "Most of the salt merchants have arrived, but there are still a few who are far away."

"No need to wait any longer, take advantage of the opportunity of the Spring Festival to release all the salt quickly."

"yes."

After a pause, the old man said again: "Can Dong Xiong be pulled over?"

Lu Zhuoyuan: "I have been in contact with this person. Although he is greedy for money, he still wants to move up. It is a bit difficult to pull him over."

The old man sneered and said: "It's just a question of how much money you have. If you give him a few thousand taels of silver, you're afraid he won't get into the water."

"That's what the old man said."

"Go ahead, hurry up and get rid of all the salt, so as not to have a long night with too many dreams."

"yes."
