"Brother Dongyan." Lin Ruhai stood up and returned the greeting with cupped fists.
"It's been more than ten years, but Brother Dongyan is still as elegant as ever.
I'm already like a withered tree. "
"Brother Ruhai, you're joking. You've worked hard for the sake of the country and the people.
I'm just a commoner. Usually, I'm just a wild crane.
How can I compare to you? "
Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly.
Although Wen Dongyan was a commoner,
He was more important than him, a doctor of Lantai Temple and an imperial salt inspector. Thinking back to when Wen Dongyan publicly refused to be an official in the main hall.
It made the emperor emeritus very angry. Although the emperor emeritus did not revoke Wen Dongyan's title as the top scorer, he issued a decree that he would never be admitted. He really felt sorry for Wen Dongyan. He was also very puzzled as to why he wanted to be an official if he didn't want to be one. But it was also thanks to Wen Dongyan's refusal.
He was able to receive the emperor emeritus's vigorous training. And when Wen Dongyan joined the Shuijing, the emperor emeritus sent him and that year's second place to a high position in a fit of pique. One had to know that every three years, there would be a top scorer, second scorer, and third scorer.
But not everyone could become a high official.
All his classmates, including him, sympathized with Wen Dongyan.
But at that time, no one would have thought that Wen Dongyan would become an unattainable existence for many people.
The affairs of the world were really unpredictable!
Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart.
He steadied his mind.
He asked, "Brother Dongyan.
What's going on with that Liu Jin? I've never heard of Mama Liu having such a godson.
Could it be someone impersonating him? "
"Liu Jin is indeed Mama Liu's godson without a doubt. It's just that he had been living in the capital.
Until more than a year ago.
I came to Yangzhou after my late wife passed away. "Wen Dongyan paused.
He turned to look at the Shuijing. Seeing the Shuijing nod, he took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to Lin Ruhai. "You'll know the details after you read it."
Those papers were filled with words. Lin Ruhai's face was filled with confusion at first, but then his face became darker and darker. His chest heaved up and down more and more, and his body trembled violently.
He raised his head abruptly and looked at Wen Dongyan with bloodshot eyes. "Is what's written on this paper true?" His voice sounded like it came from hell.
Wen Dongyan sighed. "It's absolutely true. Their methods were not brilliant, and they were full of loopholes. As long as one investigated carefully, they would be able to find out. F * ck!
Lin Ruhai clenched the paper so tightly that it deformed. He pushed Wen Dongyan aside and rushed over to Jia Xie like a flash of lightning. He angrily roared, "What has our Lin family done to your Jia family? You actually used such despicable means to harm us!?"
Jia Xie's ears were ringing from the roar, but he wasn't easy to bully. He immediately slapped the table and roared back, "Are you crazy! Why are you getting angry at me!? "
"See for yourself!" Lin Ruhai threw the papers at Jia Xie's face. He gritted his teeth and fiercely said, "I, Lin Ruhai, have treated your Jia family well, but how did you treat me? Putting aside the fact that you planted people in my backyard and passed the information to Duke Xiu's Mansion and the Zhen family, you even deliberately fed me and Min 'er medicine to weaken our bodies, causing Yu' er and Mo 'er to be born with congenital deficiencies. Mo 'er was only three years old when he died! "He grabbed Jia Xie's lapel." Isn't Mo' er the grandson of your Jia family? Isn't Min 'er the daughter of your Jia family? How can you be so heartless?! "
Jia Xie finally understood what was going on. He sneered and forcefully flung Lin Ruhai away, causing him to stagger back a few steps. He supported himself on the table with one hand and barely steadied himself.
"Are you angry? Do you hate me? Unfortunately, you've found the wrong person. The person you're looking for is in the capital! I won't take the blame for nothing. "
"I've found the wrong person?" Lin Ruhai's eyes were full of disbelief. "You're the head of Rongguo Province, and these people are your servants!"
Jia Xie sneered, "Now you remember that I'm the head of Rongguo Province. How come I don't usually see you putting me, the head of Rongguo Province, in your eyes? You're really good, thinking of the second branch whenever there's something good, and blaming it on me when something happens. I also want to know what I did in my past life that angered the heavens and people, so that in this life, my parents don't love me, and my relatives are trying to harm me behind my back. "
"It's none of your business. Isn't the Jia Lian your son?"
Jia Xie was startled. He didn't understand how this matter was related to the Jia Lian. He hurriedly looked at Wen Dongyan and asked, "What does he mean? What does it have to do with Brother Chain? Also, the Old Madam has always loved Minmei. How could she be so cruel as to harm her? "
"The Old Madam Jia probably didn't expect things to turn out like this." Wen Dongyan sighed, "Back then, Prince Zhongyi's position as the Crown Prince was in jeopardy. The Retired Emperor also liked the Third Prince, who was born after him, and the Seventh Prince, who was born after Imperial Concubine Zhen. The four princes and eight dukes were all involved in the battle for the throne. However, ever since the Old Duke of Rongguo Province passed away, his descendants were all useless. They had no way to fight for the throne, so in the end, they could only start with the Lin family. Brother Ruhai had long been hated by the princes because he maintained a neutral position. However, Brother Ruhai was cautious, so they didn't know where to start. It wasn't until the Old Madam Jia secretly gave them information about the Lin family that they found the opportunity to secretly drug them. Later, the Retired Emperor abdicated and the new Emperor ascended the throne. The drug was stopped, but Lady Lin's body was ruined. Brother Ruhai was a man, so his situation was better. Later, Lady Lin passed away. After Second Master Lian came to Yangzhou, he gave a letter to Lady Lin's escort. Those escorts followed the orders of the higher-ups and used Brother Ruhai's name to commit crimes outside. However, they all did things like encroaching on farmland and robbing other people's belongings. The farmer we met was just one of them. "
The middle-aged man slowly walked to the center of the room. He bowed slightly and cupped his hands, "This subordinate greets Master."
The fortune-teller nodded his head lightly.
The middle-aged man understood and walked to the first chair on the left and sat down.
"Master has worked hard. Did you happen to meet that person today? "
The fortune-teller glanced at him, put down the teacup, and snorted, "Someone should have reported to you what happened today. You know, yet you still came to me to be an eyesore. Look at you. If you want to laugh, laugh. Be careful not to get sick. "
"Master must be joking." The middle-aged man gently waved the goose feather fan with one hand and stroked his beard with the other, "Master was called by those boorish men …. This subordinate's heart is very indignant." Although he said that, his eyes were curved. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.
The fortune-teller rolled his eyes. He naturally did not believe the words of a person who liked to laugh at him.
Sooner or later, I'll shave off that eyesore of yours. He secretly planned in his heart.
Feeling a trace of "malice", the middle-aged man's smile deepened, "I don't know how Master wants to deal with these people who spoke nonsense?"
"I'm not the kind of person to take revenge. As usual, throw these people into the Xishan mines to work as coolies. If they have the strength and time to bully the common people, it's better to work harder to serve the imperial court. When they're finished, release them. "
Although they were called coolies, they were actually just regular workers working in the mines that were run by the state. In addition to providing normal food and shelter, they could also receive a considerable salary every month. However, for people like them, when they first entered, they might suffer because they were not disciplined. Secondly, the salary they received would not be given to them. Instead, it would be sent to their families to be given to their parents, wives, and children. Once their bad habits were eliminated and they no longer harmed the village, they would be allowed to choose whether to return to their hometowns or continue to work here. Of course, there were holidays at this time. They had to let the old and the young reunite, right? Even if these people all chose to return to their hometowns, there was no need to worry about coolies. There was no lack of evil people in this world.
This was not the first time this kind of thing was done. The middle-aged man nodded in understanding, "Master is wise. This subordinate will send someone to investigate their family situation."
"While you're at it, show my token to the county magistrate here. This matter should be over soon. I don't want to get involved in any unnecessary trouble before that. "
The middle-aged man smiled faintly and twisted his beard, "Master doesn't want to go to that prison for a spin? This is a rare opportunity. "
"A spin?" The fortune teller raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at him with a smile that was not a smile, "How about I send you in to experience it? From the heavenly prison to the prison cells of this remote county, you can choose whichever you want. "
The middle-aged man's expression was very calm. He waved his goose feather fan steadily, "If that is the case, this subordinate can also take this opportunity to rest."
The fortune teller's smile suddenly froze. He gloomily glared at him and did not say anything else.
It was a good thing that his subordinates were too capable, especially someone like him who was too lazy to care about mundane matters. However, if this person refused to do it, then it would be a disaster for him.
The middle-aged man saw his gloomy expression and restrained himself. He changed the topic, "When the county magistrate sees Master's token, I reckon he will not be able to sit or stand in peace. He won't be able to eat or sleep at night."
The fortune teller coldly said, "This person is a parasite of the country who has no regard for the law. He doesn't want to be a good official for the country and the people. He only wants to exploit the people. A mere county magistrate's cheap brother-in-law dares to be so arrogant. It's no wonder that those people dared to act like that. These scums, one day I will let them know the consequences of taking the imperial court's salary but ruining the imperial court's reputation. "
The middle-aged man chuckled, "This subordinate believes that Master already has the title of 'Bloodthirsty Prince'?"
"You came today to anger Master, right?" The fortune teller unhappily said, "Don't you know that Master hates this bullshit title the most? If it wasn't for that muddle-headed scoundrel, Master would have been the most outstanding among the free and unfettered princes. "
The middle-aged man lowered his eyes. It was not good for him to comment. Because this so-called muddle-headed scoundrel was specifically referring to the current retired emperor. Although the retired emperor had already abdicated and did not have any real power, he still needed to show respect as a subject. Even if the retired emperor did not have many aspects worthy of respect. However, in the entire country, the only person who could reprimand the retired emperor was his master, the youngest prince of the founding Emperor Taizu Shengwen, Shuijing.
