One day later, Jia Cong led people to search the Yun family again.
The confiscated money and other items were transported back to the Xunyan Yamen.
At this point, except for Zhen Yingli, all Lin Ruhai's enemies have been eliminated, and the Lin family's great revenge has been avenged.
Jia Cong's purpose of coming to Yangzhou this time has basically been achieved.
He saved his uncle Lin Ruhai, saved Lin Daiyu from the pain of losing her father, and avenged Lin Ruhai and her aunt.
The matter in Yangzhou has come to an end.
Jia Cong wrote a memorial to Emperor Longqing, briefly describing the events in Yangzhou and Lin Ruhai's condition, hoping that Emperor Longqing would allow Lin Ruhai to resign and recuperate.
He also briefly mentioned the matter of the Salt Gang and said that he had sent people to investigate the details of the Salt Gang.
Once he has the exact information about the Salt Gang, he will go there in person, launch a surprise attack, and wipe out the Salt Gang in one fell swoop.
Lian Lin Ruhai's memorial and the salt merchant's account book were handed over to eunuch Xiao Li, and he was quietly given a thousand taels of silver to present to Emperor Longqing.
Ask Tiezhu to send people to follow eunuch Xiao Li, escort them for a hundred miles, and then return to Yangzhou if nothing happens.
Those account books are of great importance and have a bearing on the entire Yangzhou officialdom, so they must be treated with caution.
Sure enough, just thirty miles away from Yangzhou, they encountered a wave of attacks, which frightened eunuch Xiao Li so much that he almost ran back to Yangzhou.
The special forces team members appeared in time to kill the others in the future.
Afterwards, they were escorted for hundreds of miles, during which they encountered several interceptions and kills, all of which were resolved by the special operations team without any danger.
After escorting for a while, seeing that it was safe, the special operations team members prepared to leave and return to Yangzhou.
Eunuch Xiao Li refused to give in, and even asked the special forces to escort them for a while. When he saw that everything was fine, he reluctantly let them return to Yangzhou.
However, eunuch Xiao Li did not dare to be careless and did not dare to stop along the way, so he hurried to the capital.
Lin Ruhai's great revenge was avenged, and his body was recovering well. He was in a good mood these days. Lin Daiyu was also very happy when she saw this. She stayed with Lin Ruhai every day these days.
During these days, Jia Lian completely let go of the reins.
After seeing that Lin Ruhai was fine, he had nothing to do with him at home. He hung out in brothels and boats every day. It was really addictive, and he only went back to the Yamen occasionally to visit.
Jia Cong didn't say anything about this, as men would naturally understand.
I just gave him 10,000 taels of silver notes, treated him as my brother, and invited him to visit Yangzhou.
Jia Lian was even more happy. He said that Jia Cong was very interesting and said that when Jia Cong was not busy anymore, he would take Jia Cong to have fun.
Jia Cong smiled and did not refuse.
A place like a brothel is just for the experience, so going there every day is pointless.
My own identity does not allow me to hang out in brothels every day.
In the afternoon of that day, Jia Cong took Li Biao and two teams of guards to the courtyard in the city and walked around.
The house has three floors and three entrances, and the courtyards are connected layer by layer.
This house in Jiangnan is slightly different from the courtyard in the capital, and is more exquisite and delicate.

White walls and gray tiles, the walls are thin and mostly painted white, and the roof tiles are also thin gray tiles. The wooden parts are often painted in brown, black, dark green and other colors, so that they complement the white walls and gray tiles.
The courtyard is filled with exotic flowers and trees, jagged rocks, and a rigorous layout. You can tell at a glance that a lot of thought has gone into it.
In the small garden next to it, there are pavilions, bridges, flowing water, and flowers and plants everywhere, making it look like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Li Biao said: "My lord, this small courtyard is really nice, just like in the painting."
Jia Cong is also very satisfied with this courtyard.
He nodded and said: "It's indeed good. This layout, this style, and this scenery are quite poetic. The people who built this yard really put their heart into it.
We will leave a group of soldiers behind for a while and stay in the front yard. We will clean up the courtyard by the way. We will go to Miaoyin Pavilion to pick up Ruyan and let her live here temporarily. When we return to the capital, we will Take her back with you. "
Li Biao said: "Don't worry, Mr. Guo. I will arrange a team of experienced soldiers to stay here to protect Miss Ruyan. There will definitely be no problems."
Jia Cong said: "When the matters here are finished, it's time to complete the tasks assigned by the emperor and properly handle the affairs of the Salt Gang. It's not easy to live in peace even if you take a vacation."
Leaving the courtyard, we went directly to the boat on Slender West Lake.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard an arrogant voice shouting: "Stop him, Momojiji, call Ruyan out quickly. I will ask Ruyan to accompany me today. Otherwise, you Miaoyin Pavilion Don’t even think about driving it any further.”
Just listen to the old bustard saying: "Hey, Mr. Ye, please forgive me, Ruyan is now a member of Ning Guogong, he is only living here temporarily, and is no longer a member of our Miaoyinfang.
Duke Ning Guo is not someone you can afford to offend. A few days ago, Master Bai came to cause trouble, and he was beaten up and taken away by Duke Ning. I heard that the Bai family was ransacked and exterminated. Although your father was a lieutenant general, he was with Ning Guogong is really incomparable.
Mr. Ye, I advise you to stop messing around here and go home quickly. If you offend Mr. Ning Guo, you will really be unlucky. "
That Young Master Ye said: "He is Ning Guogong in the capital, but there is no Ning Guogong in Yangzhou. General Zheng is dead. Now my father is the highest military officer in Yangzhou, and the army in Yangzhou is under my father's control.
As long as my father gives the order, how can Ning Guo Gong and Ning Guo Gong still be able to stop these thousands of troops? Others are afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him. Go away. Since Ruyan can't come down, I will go find her personally. "
The old bustard shouted: "Stop him quickly. If he disturbs Ruyan, we won't be able to explain to Ning Guogong."
Jia Cong shook his head. He really didn't expect that in Yangzhou today, there would be people who dared not take him seriously.
Almost all the prominent figures and well-informed people in Yangzhou knew that the three major salt merchants, the Bai family, the Li family, and the Zhang family, had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated, and the initiator was none other than Ning Guogong.
Nowadays, most people avoid Jia Cong when they see him, and no one wants to provoke him.
I didn't expect that the son of a mere deputy general would have such a loud tone. I wonder if he is stupid? Or is he really arrogant?

It seems that once some people gain power, they get carried away. They don't know how much they weigh, let alone their last name, and do some irrational things.
This should be called moral mismatch!
To explain it in metaphysics, it is because one's own destiny cannot suppress the current power and has gone to the head.
Jia Cong walked into the hall and saw a chubby guy rushing upstairs. He was stopped by the people from Miaoyin Pavilion on the stairs.
When the old bustard saw Jia Cong coming, he hurriedly came up to him and said, "Oh, Mr. Ning Guo, you are finally here. If you don't come, we won't be able to stop this Young Master Ye. This Young Master Ye insists on looking for Ruyan, why?" I don’t even listen to my advice, I’ve been pestering you for a long time.”
Jia Cong nodded and shouted: "Hey, that fat pig, look over here."
When Mr. Ye heard the noise, he turned around, pointed at his nose and asked, "You call me a fat pig? Do you dare to call me a fat pig?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "You have a fat head and big ears, and you look like a fat pig. Who else here deserves the word fat pig except you?"
Mr. Ye glanced at the people around him and saw that no one was fatter than him. He couldn't help but nodded, but then he realized what was going on and suddenly became angry from embarrassment.
Pointing at Jia Cong, he said angrily: "How dare you call me a fat pig? I really don't want to live anymore. Come here and beat him."
Before anyone else could react, Li Biao had already rushed forward with his bodyguards.
With three punches and two kicks, he knocked Mr. Ye's entourage down, grabbed Mr. Ye's neck, and threw him at Jia Cong's feet.
He yelled and scolded: "You bastard, you dare to be unreasonable to the Duke of the country, you are so brave."
Mr. Ye was thrown to the ground and screamed in pain. He had been pampered at home since he was a child, and his family was somewhat powerful. No one had touched a finger on him. How could he have suffered this crime.
Before he could get up, he cursed: "You bastard, how dare you throw me down? Do you believe I asked my father to kill you?"
Jia Cong finally saw that this guy was a brainless idiot.
Watching him struggle to get up, he raised his foot and trampled him down again.
"I heard that you don't take my father-in-law seriously, but I want to see what you can rely on?
Li Biao, teach him how to be a good person, and then let him go back with a follower and notify his father to come and get him. I want to see what kind of thing his father is, and he can actually teach such a bastard son. "
After saying that, he walked upstairs.
Li Biao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates will definitely teach him well for his father and make him a good son."
As soon as he walked up the stairs, he heard screams of ghosts and wolves howling from behind. Jia Cong shook his head and went directly to the third floor and came to Ru Yan's room.
Seeing Jia Cong coming, Ruyan threw herself into Jia Cong's arms.
"Sir, you're finally here. Mr. Ye is making a lot of trouble down there, and the slave family is a little worried."
Jia Cong stretched out his hand to hug her and comforted her: "Okay, it's okay. I'll let someone teach that bastard a lesson. I've already found the yard. It's a bit hasty to move here today. You guys have to sort it out after you go there." House, why don't we move there early tomorrow morning.

I'll pack up your and Xiaoman's things today, stay here for one night, and move there tomorrow morning. It's not too late to see what's missing before someone else buys it. "
Hearing this, Ruyan said in surprise: "Master, seriously, it's great. I can finally leave here."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Of course it's true. How could I break my promise? I've already visited the yard over there. It's quite good. I just came from there."
It is a courtyard with three entrances. I will leave a team of soldiers in the front yard to protect you. You and Xiaoman live in the backyard. Even if there are still a few maids missing, I don't know where to find reliable ones. "
Ruyan said: "Don't I want to take the slave family back to the capital? I won't live in Yangzhou for long. It doesn't matter if we have a maid or not. Xiaoman and I can take care of ourselves, so we don't have to worry anymore."
Jia Cong said: "Can you and Xiaoman know how to cook? You have to eat, right?"
Ruyan said: "Although we are not very proficient, we will not starve ourselves. Don't worry."
Xiaoman next to him said: "Master, I can cook."
Jia Cong glanced at the little girl and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Xiaoman to be so capable. I will try your craft someday."
Xiaoman nodded his head and said, "Yeah, yeah."
Ruyan looked up at Jia Cong and said, "Sir, I miss you. Can you stay with me tonight?"
Jia Cong looked at Ru Yan's adoring eyes and recalled the ecstasy night last time, and couldn't help but nodded.
"It is said that on a moonlit night at the Twenty-Four Bridge, where can beauties learn how to play the flute? I have not yet experienced the beautiful scenery on the Slender West Lake, so I won't leave today. Let's take a night tour of the Slender West Lake together."
Seeing that Jia Cong agreed, Ruyan said happily: "Master, I can also play the flute. I guarantee that I will be satisfied."
Soon after, a flute sound sounded, melodious and melodious, like weeping and complaining. The lingering sound of birds was like a wisp, as if coming from far away from the sky, like ethereal fairy music, echoing in Jia Cong's ears, graceful and clear. .
Jia Cong was so mesmerized by what he heard. He never expected that this girl Ruyan had such high attainments, and she really deserved the word "oiran".
After the song ended, Ruyan smiled sweetly and said: "Sir, does the slave's playing sound good? Can you let me listen to it?"
Jia Cong gave a thumbs up and said: "Okay, great. This song should only exist in heaven. How many times can you hear it in the world? I never thought that Ruyan's flute skills are so superb. I will have you by my side in the future. Is it okay?" Blessed."
Ruyan snuggled close to Jia Cong and said with a smile: "As long as I like to listen, I will brag to you every day."
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
Li Biao's voice rang out: "My lord, Vice General Ye is here and wants to see my lord. Will you see me?"
He didn't expect to get it very quickly. It seems that this son is still very important in his heart.
"Li Biao, did Vice General Ye come alone? Or did he come with troops?"
"When I return to my country, Lieutenant General Ye did not bring any troops, only a few personal guards."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Well, I am still sensible. I will disappear and let him take his son back. Tell him that he can't even manage his own son. How can he not be qualified to manage thousands of troops?"
"I understand, Lord Duke, my subordinates will tell him."

[Tianjiao of the Red Mansion] []
Listening to the departing footsteps, Ruyan said: "Sir, Vice General Ye is still somewhat powerful in Yangzhou. Are you really not going to see him?"
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "There is no need to see him. The officialdom in Yangzhou is rotten. Whether this guy can survive is still unknown. What is the use of seeing a dying man?"
Seeing that he was quite sensible, I reminded him that if he was a bastard like his son and dared to directly lead troops here, I would send him back to the west today. "
Ruyan smiled and said, "Sir, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about tonight's lake tour."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Well, let Xiaoman tell the old madam later that we will take this boat to cruise Slender West Lake, and ask her not to pick up passengers today, but to leave the shore directly and take us to have a good stroll on Slender West Lake. Go shopping, and once you return to the capital, it will be difficult to come back.”
Lieutenant General Ye did not see Jia Cong and returned to the shore with his son disappointed.
Looking back, I saw that the boat had left the shore and floated towards the lake.
