In the Daming Palace, after listening to Lin Ruhai's report, Emperor Mingkang's eyes suddenly darkened.
"Asshole!! A group of rebellious officials and traitors actually dared to murder an official of the imperial court! What do those people want to do? Do they want to rebel?"
Lin Ruhai comforted: "Your Majesty, the dragon body is important, don't let your body get so angry!"
Emperor Mingkang had a murderous look in his eyes. He heard from Lin Ruhai that those people dared to poison a court official, and that everyone in his family, except for a daughter who was born with a disease, died at the hands of those people.
This made him, the well-off master, almost unable to sit still.
Lin Ruhai went to get money for him, and to be treated like this was a slap in the face.
"Ruhai, I already know about this, and I will definitely give you an explanation for it! It's been a long journey, so please go down and rest first!!"
Lin Ruhai bowed and said, "I leave!!"
After Lin Ruhai left, Emperor Mingkang was the only one left in the hall. In the brightly lit hall, Emperor Mingkang felt a chill for the first time since he succeeded to the throne.
Why do those people dare to do this? It’s just that his father is still alive in the world. Although his father has abdicated, he still has a huge influence in the court, and the Xungui Group is still attached to him, causing
Now that he was in an embarrassing situation, those nobles didn't even listen to his greetings.
And the Zhen family is just a dog of Emperor Taikang. To dare to do such a thing, the emperor really doesn't take him seriously. If it is true as Lin Ruhai said, the Zhen family's influence all over the south of the Yangtze River must be guarded against.
"Zhen family~~Since you are seeking death~"
Then he stood up, came to the center of the hall, looked at the starry sky outside the door, and said coldly: "Yang Yun!!"
A dark shadow flashed at the door of the main hall, and then there was a person half-kneeling in front of Emperor Mingkang. This person was none other than the internal guard sent by Emperor Mingkang to protect Lin Ruhai.
"My subordinate is here!!"
Emperor Mingkang put his hands behind his back and rubbed his thumb and index finger gently. After a while, he asked aloud: "Is what Lin Ruhai said before true? Also, is there anything he is hiding from me?"
"
As a qualified emperor, Emperor Mingkang's suspicious character was no worse than that of Emperor Taikang.
Yang Yun lowered his head, with a strange look in his eyes. There was indeed one thing that Lin Ruhai did not explain, and that was the existence of Jia Qi. He was just talking about the evil ranger. Although he knew it, he did not dare to reveal it.
There is still a white light buried in the body!
Then he replied in a deep voice: "Master Lin has nothing to hide. Master Lin, Mrs. Lin, the young master Lin, and Master Lin's daughter are all the work of those salt merchants. That maid was accidentally caught by a subordinate."
It turned out that the mastermind behind it was none other than the Bai family, one of the six major salt merchants entrenched in Yangzhou! Ninety-nine percent of the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River had a relationship with the Zhen family, and the subordinates suspected that the Zhen family had ordered it.
Later, when my subordinates went to Jinling to investigate, they discovered a big secret!"
"There is a Jianghu gang in the south of the Yangtze River, with a total of 30,000 people, called the Salt Gang. The people behind it are the Zhen family. With these people, the Zhen family has almost monopolized 90% of the private salt trade in Jiangnan! Constantly.
By cultivating their own power, in Jiangnan, the Zhen family has almost become a veritable king of the area!"
After saying this, Emperor Mingkang's eyes were filled with murderous intent. The Zhen family still wanted to tear apart the earth and make him king.
"There is another thing that Mr. Lin has not mentioned. He himself was poisoned. Although he was diagnosed and treated by Xinglin's holy hands later, it still damaged his roots, so his current health is not good. In addition, Mr. Lin is upright and self-sufficient.
, there has never been any corruption, my subordinates estimate that it is just like this that those people would take action against him!"

After listening to Yang Yun's report, Emperor Mingkang clenched his hands behind his back violently, his face gloomy, and his whole person looked like a volcano about to erupt.
Yang Yun seemed to feel the anger of Emperor Mingkang, so he shrank his neck, lowered his head, and did not dare to breathe.
After about a cup of tea, Emperor Mingkang waved Yang Yun to temporarily retreat. As soon as he returned to the dragon chair, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
He picked up the memorial on the table and threw it violently.
He was so angry that he sneered and said: "Okay!! That's great!! The Zhen family~~"
At the entrance of the main hall, a little eunuch on duty heard the voice of Emperor Mingkang. A strange color flashed in his eyes and he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
In the main hall, Emperor Mingkang unleashed his thunderous wrath again. No one in the whole hall dared to speak. He glanced sideways at a young eunuch on duty at the door and called him in.
"Xiao Guizi!!"
When the little eunuch at the door heard this, he couldn't help but shuddered. Emperor Mingkang was in a rage now, and his life would be in danger at any time if he entered the door. But he had no choice. If he didn't go in now, he would not die, but he would definitely die.
Gotta die.
"The little one is here!"
As soon as he entered the door, he kept his head lowered and glanced at the bright yellow figure on the high platform with the corner of his eye. When he saw Emperor Mingkang sneered and groaned, he fell to the ground in an instant, and cold sweat suddenly covered his forehead.
"I heard that your hometown is from Jinling, and you have a sister who is Zhen Shichuan's concubine? You are living a very nourishing life~"
Emperor Mingkang picked up another memorial from the imperial eucalyptus and said without any fluctuation.
Just two simple words, but the little eunuch in front of him felt as if he was struck by lightning. His eyes shrank violently, and a kind of panic that was about to collapse suddenly hit his heart.
The man sitting on the dragon throne in front of him knew everything, including his family and his identity.
Facing this well-off master, he couldn't think of any quibbles in his heart, so he lay on the ground and kowtowed to his death.
"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!!"
Emperor Mingkang waited for half a cup of tea before he said leisurely: "You know what to say to your master now!!"
Blood was already oozing from the little eunuch's forehead. Hearing Emperor Mingkang's words, he couldn't help but be ecstatic and felt like he was surviving a disaster.
"From now on, you will help me send a message to Concubine Li. If you say something wrong that I don't want her to know, you and your sister can go down together and be company!!"
Listening to Emperor Mingkang's words, the little eunuch trembled in his heart again. Emperor Mingkang really put too much pressure on him, but now he had no other choice but to kneel to the end.
Besides, when Lin Ruhai left the Daming Palace, she saw people from the Jia family coming to pick her up, and she was now standing with Lin Zhong, the housekeeper of the Lin family.
"Master! The old lady has invited you, and a banquet has been prepared at home to welcome you!"
Seeing someone from the Jia family coming to pick him up, Lin Ruhai's eyes flashed with a strange look. Although he still wanted to visit the next day, the old lady had an invitation now, so it was difficult to refute her face.
He sighed softly, it was a blessing rather than a curse, it was a curse that could not be avoided. He really didn't have many connections in the capital. There was an in-law relationship with the Yue family, so it was still a way, so he got on the sedan chair.
In Daming Palace, Dai Quan returned and informed the matter. Emperor Mingkang laughed twice and did not pursue the matter.
"Zhen family? Jia family? If that old lady knew that her daughter died in the hands of those people, she doesn't know what it would be like~"
