On the first day of March, after the palace examination, Lin Bai went one step further and won another Jinshi memorial arch for the Lin family with the title of Erjia Twelve.
Huiyuan Lang Tang Yin was very high-spirited during the imperial examination. He first implemented the plan to ban the sea, then attacked the vassal towns, and then turned to commercial taxation, admonishing the court to amend the tax law and increase commercial tax...
When Jia Cong heard about Tang Yin's feat, he took a deep breath. This guy is really radical. Are he really not afraid of being thrown into the same Jinshi group?
Fortunately, this was a palace examination, and the emperor was very good at writing papers. On the day of the apricot examination, because of the answers to the palace examination, the emperor appointed Tang Yin as the Tanhua Lang, which was regarded as saving this stupid young man.
After the selection of the library, Lin Bai finally got the favor of his clan chief Lin Ruhai, and there was a Shuji scholar named Lin in the Hanlin Academy. Every day he was either copying books and sorting out scriptures or on the way to sort them out.
It wasn't until Lin Ruhai was about to arrive in the capital that day that he took two days off and went to Tongzhou Pier with Jia Cong, Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan.
On the sparkling canal, Lin Ruhai stood at the bow of the ship accompanied by Jin Se, and the wind blowing in front of him kept touching his heartstrings.
"Ten years of life and death are blurred. I don't think about it, and I can't forget it. I am alone in the tomb thousands of miles away, and there is no place to talk about the desolation..."
After ten years of absence, he is finally returning to the capital!
Unfortunately, Miner died in Gusu and never set foot in the capital again.
Jinse also had red eyes and looked ahead.
After a while, the boat slowed down, and people busy on the pier could be seen not far away. She reminded her softly: "Master, Tongzhou Pier has arrived."
Bang!
boom!
Just as Lin Ruhai was looking at the pier in front of him, the ship's hull shook violently, and he almost fell to the ground due to the strong shaking.
He grabbed Jinse, who was about to fall off the bow of the ship, and there was a whooshing sound in his ears. Together with his cheeks, an arrow passed by his ears...
"There are assassins, protect me!"
The guards of the Lin family seemed to be used to assassinations. The four guards immediately surrounded Lin Ruhai and Jinse and slowly moved towards the cabin.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The official ship could no longer move. There were ships blocking it at both ends, and several small boats were surrounding it on the left and right sides. The masked gangsters shot arrows at Lin Ruhai one after another. The guard who originally protected Lin Ruhai had fallen. Two people got off.
When they finally returned to the cabin, the thief had jumped onto the deck of the official ship and started fighting with the Lin family's guards.
Lin Ruhai picked up the scribe's sword hanging on the bulkhead and said to Jinse, "Please sort out our belongings first and wait for my return with peace of mind."
Lin Fu and his men blocked the door of the cabin and calmly reported to Lin Ruhai: "Master, there are many thieves, at least two hundred of them!"
Bang bang bang...
Several feathered arrows pierced the wooden planks of the ship's hull beside him, and the tails of the arrows buzzed. Lin Ru took the next step, looked at it carefully, and sneered: "You are a person who hides his head and shows his tail, how can you not detect it just by erasing the mark?"
He turned to the middle-aged sword-browed man beside him and said, "General Xia, these are the standard arrows used by the army. Take a look."
The man took the feather arrow and came to a general conclusion just by looking at it.
"It is indeed an arrow used in the army. Judging from the production method, it is most likely produced in Jinling. On our way from Yangzhou, there were as many as seven assassinations, large and small. It seems that your Excellency has driven these people into panic. Already."
….
Lin Ruhai looked at the fight in front of him without fear and laughed loudly: "Under the bright sun, there will be no way for demons and monsters to hide!"
…
Jia Cong had already seen the official ship flying the big flag with the word "Lin" in the distance. He was waiting eagerly for his uncle and father, but suddenly he saw several small boats surrounding them, and then there was a faint sound of fighting.
"What's wrong, there's a thief!"
"What? Thief? Where?"
Baoyu looked around drowsily, and involuntarily came closer to Jia Cong.
Jia Cong quickly called Jia Shiyi over, gave him the Coiling Dragon Golden Token hanging on his waist, and warned: "Go to Shenwu Zhongwei to find General Shen, there are bandits!"
Then he told Xue Pan and Baoyu to hide in Tongzhou City, and then he and Lin Bai took the remaining twenty or so soldiers to board an empty ship docked at the dock, and used a piece of gold to rush the ship to the place of the fight. .
Fortunately, the distance was not very far. In less than half a stick of incense, Jia Cong and others had already arrived at Lin Ruhai. The captain was too afraid to go any further. Jia Cong put a knife on his neck and said coldly: "Five hundred Two pieces of silver, hit it!"
It has to be said that money can make all the difference.
As soon as Jia Cong finished speaking, the originally timid captain gritted his teeth and ordered his men to row the oars, and with the power of the sail, they violently rolled over the small boat in front and hit the official ship.
The two parties who were originally fighting were disrupted by the violent shaking. When Jia Cong led his men to the bow of the ship, the situation where the thieves were outnumbered was instantly reversed.
Jia Cong drew his knife and shouted: "Uncle, daddy, the baby is here!"
Every one of the soldiers of Rongguo Mansion was a fierce man who crawled out from the dead. They reopened the thief's circle with just one encounter and sent Jia Cong to Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai couldn't help frowning, and took Jia Cong back, who was screaming to kill him, and scolded: "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall. Why are you just a child fooling around? Just wait here, the Dragon Guards will be here soon. .”
"It turns out to be Mr. Jia Xiao. Xia Chongyu, the deputy of Qianhu Station of Yangzhou Qianhu, the last general of the Dragon Imperial Guard, pays homage to Mr. Jia!"
Jia Cong was a little confused. The thieves had almost taken over the entire ship. Why were his father-in-law and Xia Qianhu not in a hurry?
But I heard this Xia Qianhu explain calmly: "Including this time, Master Lin has been assassinated seven times during this trip. In order to catch all these thieves, Master Lin and the general made a plan and deliberately exposed their flaws. The thief came in..."
Dong dong dong dong...
As he was talking, the sound of war drums could be heard in his ears.
Xia Chongyu burst out laughing: "No, our people are here!"
Not only were several large ships approaching behind the ship, but two soldiers and horses also fought out from both sides of the canal. The small boats surrounding the official ship immediately wanted to flee, but were forced back by dense crossbows.
The thieves who were fighting with the Lin family and Jia family guards on the deck also gave up the assassination and jumped off the ship to escape.
Unfortunately, the only gap was also filled with shadowy soldiers and horses coming from a distance. The soldiers and horses of Shenwu Zhongwei had already come from the direction of Tongzhou Pier, and their pockets were completely tied up this time.
Don't expect this group of thieves to have any fearless spirit of resisting to the death. When the pockets became tighter and tighter, few even committed suicide. After more than half of them were killed or injured, the rest surrendered one after another.
….
Xia Chongyu breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a grin: "This is a perfect success for me. Mr. Xiao Jia is really my lucky star."
He was ordered to escort Lin Ruhai northward, but was upset by assassinations along the way. Fortunately, we arrived at Tongzhou Pier safely today and also killed a group of more than 200 thieves along the way, which can be said to be a great achievement.
Jia Cong waved his hand and replied: "That was a clever plan between my uncle and Xia Qianhu. In addition, the brothers from Shenwu Zhongwei arrived in time, so it has nothing to do with me."
Lin Ruhai planned the two people's excuses and warned: "It is better to go to Beijing quickly, interrogate these people, and find out who is behind the scenes."
Xia Chongyu clasped his fists and responded, "My lord, I am going to arrange for people to be interrogated right now. This time, we must catch all these monsters and monsters in one fell swoop!"
…
Lin Ruhai, a doctor in Yazhong and the Yangzhou salt inspector, went to Beijing on orders. He set out from Yangzhou to Tongzhou Pier and was assassinated seven times in a row. The news spread that the capital was in an uproar.
A dignified third-rank official was almost shot into a hedgehog when he was blocked by thieves in front of the Tongzhou Pier on an official ship. The Secretary of General Affairs was instantly overwhelmed by the impeachment of the Water Transport Governor's Mansion and the Shuntian Mansion.
This time, civil and military officials were unusually united and demanded a strict investigation into the case to find out who was behind the scenes.
After all, no one wants to be blocked by thieves on the canal and shot into a hedgehog when they are out of Beijing on business.
Since it was already evening, the group spent the night at Tongzhou Posthouse and set off back to Beijing at dawn the next day.
Lin Ru
As usual, after Hai washed up in the capital post house, he put on his official clothes and went to the palace to pay his respects. Jinse returned to Rongguo Mansion accompanied by Lin Bai and others.
Jia Cong accompanied Lin Ruhai as they waited outside the Qinzheng Hall. Not long after waiting, he was greeted by the eunuch Xia Shouzhong in person.
The papers on the emperor's desk were always piled high. This diligent emperor seemed to be never tired. Every time he saw him, he would bury his head in the papers.
"Your Majesty, Lin Ruhai (Jia Cong), pays homage to His Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"
Liu Heng didn't stop writing the ink pen in his hand. He raised his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "Sit down and give me a seat. Wait until I finish approving these notes."
Jia Cong had become accustomed to the emperor's temperament, so he sat carelessly on a chair nearby, and asked Xia Shouzhong for refreshments to satisfy his hunger.
After all, it was a long journey from Tongzhou to Beijing, and I didn’t even have a bite to eat. I was so hungry!
Lin Ruhai stared dumbfoundedly at her little son-in-law biting the snack, unable to react for a long time.
"Lin Qing, don't be surprised. This guy has always been like this. I'm used to it."
The emperor finally put down his ink pen, stretched, and looked at his former acquaintance with a smile.
They were indeed acquaintances. When Lin Ruhai was parading across the street, he and Lao Shisan went to watch the fun. When Lin Ruhai was in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he often impeached the dandy prince Zhongshun Wang Liu Ke. For this reason, Liu Ke even put Lin Ruhai in a sack, causing his good brother Liu Heng to go to the Lin family in person to apologize.
Jia Cong nodded and continued eating. He also picked up a piece and handed it to the emperor, saying vaguely: "I am almost hungry, Your Majesty, are you satisfied? This snack today tastes really bad..."
Gululu...
Lin Ruhai's stomach happened to make a sound, and he quickly stood up and apologized to the emperor: "I have behaved inappropriately before the emperor, please forgive me!"
….
"Sit, sit, you're not in the Fengtian Palace, so you don't need to be polite..."
Liu Heng smiled nonchalantly, pointed at Jia Cong who was always clicking and said, "Look at your son-in-law, he makes me feel more relaxed and at ease."
Lin Ruhai still bowed respectfully and replied solemnly: "Ritual is what guides the country, determines the country, order the people, and benefits heirs. Rites are the foundation of the country. How can your majesty abandon it so easily? You should respect it and keep it... "
Liu Heng laughed suddenly, and his laughter interrupted Lin Ruhai's words. He winked at Jia Cong: "Little fat man, am I right?"
Jia Cong put the last piece of snack in his hand into his mouth, chewed it once or twice, put the tea into his throat, clapped his hands and stood up to worship the emperor: "Your Majesty's holy eyes are like torches, he can see everything clearly, and you are so impressed that you fall to the ground with admiration!"
Then he distressedly took out a small gold ingot from the purse at his waist and placed it on the emperor's desk.
He said aggrievedly to Lin Ruhai: "Uncle, Your Majesty bets with me that you will still be the Lin Yushi who dared to remonstrate with you..."
