Chapter 311 One tael of official salt and ten taels of silver(1/2)
"leave?"
Lin Ruhai looked confused: "Now, it's about eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. If I leave, where can I go?"
If you are a corrupt official, there will be countless escape routes.
It's a pity that Lin Ruhai is not, he is an upright official.
Even the silver shipped to the Rongguo Mansion was arranged by big shots. Otherwise, even if the Lin family had been officials for several generations, they would not have been able to accumulate so much wealth.
"Qianxiang Country, Yelang Country, Fusang Country, any place is good, and you can survive anywhere. Uncle Lin, the Holy One also knows that you are in a difficult situation, and he will not blame you."
"If you want me to die, I have no choice but to die."
Lin Ruhai said calmly: "I know all this, but now, I am the key to reorganizing the salt policy in Jiangnan, and my blood has become a sacrifice to wash away the dirt of salt tax. If I die, in exchange for this peace
In prosperous times, the treasury is full, so why not?"...
Liu Xianglian admired people like Lin Ruhai very much.
But if there is such a person around him, or someone very close to him is like this, it will give him a headache.
This means that if you want to protect Lin Ruhai, you will spend ten times or even a hundred times the cost and energy.
"My uncle is impressed by his ideological consciousness. My nephew is ashamed of himself. If your uncle has any ideas, why don't you tell your nephew where we should start?"
"Cough! Cough cough cough!"
Lin Ruhai coughed violently for a while and said: "My good nephew has just come to Yangzhou, and many things are still unclear. Even if I speak at this time, I am just arbitrary in everything. I cannot see many things comprehensively. Now I have no one to use."
Already.
If you look more and listen more, you may see other aspects of things from another angle.
In three days, we will discuss how to proceed."
Liu Xianglian smiled and said: "Then according to my uncle's wishes, my nephew will come here to cut grass first and see what kind of big snakes can be frightened."
A fifth-grade Golden Dragon Guard, let alone a local, is definitely considered a number one person even if he goes to the capital.
"Haha, young people are still motivated, cough..."
Before she finished her sentence, Liu Xianglian coughed again.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
Lin Ruhai said: "It has become a disease caused by depression. It is a very old problem. It doesn't matter."
"Uncle, please feel relieved that my nephew is here. Take good care of yourself first. My subordinates will stay in the Lin Mansion to listen to your orders. Only by taking good care of your health can you serve the imperial court!"
Lin Ruhai smiled lightly and felt relaxed.
"That's fine, I'll send someone to fetch the doctor soon. Does my nephew have anything else to do?"
Lin Ruhai picked up the tea and prepared to see off the guests.
Although Liu Xianglian came today, he had not asked for confirmation yet, so he just said a few words and left them behind.
He is now a third-grade official. Although he is no longer able to move around in Yangzhou, it is still very simple to verify the identity of a Golden Dragon Guard.
"Uncle, I'm afraid the doctors outside are not safe right now. If my uncle can trust my nephew, can I ask my nephew to diagnose and treat my uncle?"
"Why not?"
Now that he is at the end of his rope, even if someone really comes to assassinate him, Lin Ruhai doesn't care.
Death and immortality are beyond our control.
Liu Xianglian felt Lin Ruhai's pulse and soon discovered that things were not as simple as he thought.
This is not simply depression.
"Uncle, you are poisoned!"
"Poisoned!?"
"Yes, it should be a chronic poison. I used my internal power to travel through your meridians and found that your internal organs are now covered with mild toxins. If it is not eliminated, the toxins will accumulate more and more."
Lin Ruhai was shocked and said: "How dare they do this! I am an official appointed by the Holy Emperor."
"I'm afraid this is what they did specifically as a demonstration for those who come after you! Don't worry, uncle, I'll detoxify your uncle!"
Liu Xianglian is no longer Wu Xia Amen now, but is now a real master of martial arts!
The poison that can be used to deal with ordinary people is within his inner strength
Under the pressure, drops of poison slowly dripped out of Lin Ruhai's mouth. In less than half an hour, no more poison could be forced out.
"Huh...uncle, do you feel better?"
Lin Ruhai felt her body carefully and felt pain that she had never felt before.
"Feeling some pain."
"Uncle, there is no need to worry. This is because your body was paralyzed by toxins before, but you didn't feel anything at all. Now that part of the toxins have been eliminated and your body functions have recovered, you can feel these pains. In two or three more times, you will be able to treat your uncle's body.
Once the remaining poison has been eliminated, my uncle will definitely be able to regroup and clean up Jiangnan's salt administration."
"Ahem, hehe, let me lend you some good words."
Lin Ruhai, who had just finished detoxification, was very weak.
"Uncle, if someone in your household has a problem..."
"My dear nephew, just do what you want. Even the officials of the Golden Dragon Guard can be killed first and then punished, let alone my servants."
Liu Xianglian said goodbye and left. After an investigation by several of her subordinates, they found out a lot of fishy things.
There are more than a dozen people who buy vegetables, collect dung, watch the door, and cut firewood, all spies from outside.
"Boss, this Lin Yushi family has been infiltrated into a sieve."
"Go back and tell me! Zhuzhu, you and Nanfeng Beifeng stay here to protect Mr. Lin's safety."
"Boss, what should we do with these people?"
"Kill them all!"
"Great, this is my favorite!"
Fan Biao's iron fist soon sent these female cadres back to the west.
Liu Xianglian took Fan Biao and Hua Qing and left the Lin family.
"Boss, where are we going now?"
"Now... let's go to the south of the city!"
In the south of Yangzhou City, where the market is gathered, Liu Xianglian and his party just showed up, and there were several people behind them.
"Oh!"
Liu Xianglian sneered.
Hua Qing also discovered the person following him and said with a smile: "Boss, do you want me to clean up these little mice?"
"No! If they want to see it, just watch it carefully. Everything has two sides. If we can't find them, let them come to me. Come on, we have more important things now."
Sure enough, those who were following him disappeared after following him for two hours.
There are very few customers for official salt sales in the market.
Liu Xianglian observed carefully and found no common people.
"Zhu Qing, are you talking about where the people in Yangzhou City buy salt?"
Maybe Liu Xianglian's voice was too loud, or maybe his statement was too ridiculous and seemed particularly mentally retarded.
An old man selling liquor at the side suddenly laughed loudly: "Young man, you are not a householder and don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. At first glance, you are a boy who has never touched the spring water with his fingers."
Liu Xianglian wondered: "How can you see it?"
"Is this official salt something that we ordinary people can afford? This is the product of princes, nobles, and scholar-bureaucrats. The price is not much better than gold! Who will buy it? Let me tell you, no one will buy it.
It’s normal. If someone buys it, it’s definitely a corrupt official!”
The old man said angrily.
"Zhu Qing, go and ask, how much does this official salt cost?"
"Okay, boss!"
"Old man, tell me, where can we people go to buy salt? I'm not a native of Yangzhou. I just came here and wanted to buy some salt for home use. Now I can't figure out how to do it. Please let me know."
The old man smiled and said: "Young man, why don't you buy some wine? It's not my fault. My wine is the best in this area."
"Fan Biao, try it!"
"Great! I've always loved drinking. Old man, bring me your wine!"
Before the old man could react, Fan Biao had already put his head into his wine vat and started drinking.
"Hiss... ha, boss, this old guy didn't lie, this wine is made from the best grain, and the taste is very pure!"
"Alas... alas
