In late autumn, dozens of carriages lined up in front of the Lin Mansion. Lan
Compared with ordinary people, everyone travels differently. Not only do they need more than a dozen sets of clothes, but other jewelry, belongings, food, gifts, etc. are calculated by box.
Lin Ruhai stood at the door with a person dressed as a master, looking sad.
Obviously on the surface, it was a very sad thing for him to have his wife and children leave him.
This master's surname is also Jia, his given name is Hua, his courtesy name is Shi Fei, and his nickname is Yucun. He was born with a round waist, a thick back, a broad face, a square mouth, and a straight nose and cheeks. He was a Jinshi in high school and was promoted to prefect. Soon after, he was dismissed for corruption and favoritism. Because of his embarrassment, he was hired by Lin Ruhai as a master to help with auditing and accounting.
Moreover, Lin Ruhai is busy with government affairs, so he can also use his free time to teach his son how to study.
No matter when children read, this is the top priority.
Waiting for Jia Min to take his concubine and get into the carriage with his son in his arms. Lan
Lin Ruhai's expression became even sadder: "Madam, you must take care of yourself on the road!"
Jia Min's eyes turned red. Although her husband usually treated her with respect and only had sex under the bed, looking at it now, he still loved her.
"Well, husband, you are too. If things don't work out, it's also important to take care of yourself. In the worst case, we can go back to Suzhou to collect rent." Jia Min advised.
Lin Ruhai nodded heavily and waved his hand: "It's getting late. Madam, please take the boat!"
Then the two of them lingered for a while, making others envious.
After a while, Lin Ruhai stood at the door and watched the lady leave his sight from a distance. His sad expression disappeared instantly, and he looked back at Jia Yucun.
Jia Yucun was stunned and said suspiciously: "Master, are you going to listen to the music?"
"Walk!"
Lin Ruhai's steps suddenly felt brisk and she walked towards the lake by a familiar path.
No one will take care of him anymore. This mood is so beautiful!
Doing the math, my wife won’t be able to come back until next spring, which will take half a year!
Be happy.
…
At the lakeside port, Wang Chun stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the ship going away in the distance. Lan
"Master, do we want it?" The henchman next to him raised his hand, scratched his neck, and asked coldly.
Wang Chun frowned. In Yangzhou Lin Mansion, there were Jinwu guards to protect him. He could only use some secret methods: poisoning and assassination, but everyone left without returning.
But it's different on the lake. The lake is vast and boundless. As long as the bottom of the boat is hollowed out and the boat sinks, no one can escape unless they are gods.
As the "General Merchant of the Lianghuai Salt Industry", Wang Chun naturally has many capable subordinates who are proficient in water properties.
In the past six months, what Lin Ruhai has done is very obvious, which is to summarize the bills of various merchants. Although there are no large merchants, there are also many small merchants.
If it wasn't too much, then Lin Ruhai wouldn't be able to find out anything based on these bills.
But Wang Chun knew that he even short-sold the Yanyin quota in the following years, which was an empty account of more than 10 million taels. Moreover, according to the old rules of salt affairs, in addition to paying the cost of buying salt, the merchant also ordered each merchant to pay three taels of silver for each salt for public use. Lan
This money may be returned after the big family businessmen take the lead in paying it, but the small salt merchants will have to actually pay it.
If you pay an extra three taels per year, you can easily earn one to two million taels a year. This rule has been going on for more than 20 years, and it adds up to more than ten million taels to settle the account.
Two to three million years, how can this be equal? Even a blind man can see the problem.
Now that Mrs. Lin Ruhai suddenly rushed back to Beijing, is it possible that she brought the bill back to complain?
This account involves the death of hundreds of officials and must not be sent to Beijing!
So what if the woman is from the Jia family? Compared with the future and wealth, it is natural for some people to die on the vast lake.
"Master?" the servant continued to ask. Lan
Wang Chun turned around, looked at his men, and said slowly: "The vast lake, the water flow is fast, Jia Min is a member of the Jia family, and has a noble status. You go and bring some people to protect the safety, but you can't die in my Yangzhou territory!"
The servant was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Yes!"
After his men left, Wang Chun looked at the direction in which the big ship disappeared and murmured: "Mrs. Lin, who told your husband to be ignorant? Have a good trip."
…
The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal has gentle waves.
In the inner room of the building, on the bed, Jia Min was doing some strange postures with her daughter in order to keep fit.
A few days ago, after Lin Ruhai drank the decoction, he killed everyone and felt very proud. Lan
But Jia Min had new ideas after discovering that her daughter was learning Lele to practice and exercise. What supernatural powers might there be in the teachings of living gods? She followed suit.
Sure enough, Lin Ruhai no longer had the confidence to talk to her since then.
And with the accumulation of practice over time, the young woman's skin becomes smoother and tenderer, her senses become more sensitive, and the couple has a unique experience.
"Meow!" the little yellow cat shouted dissatisfiedly as he stood on the table.
dinner time!
Mother and daughter Jia Min and Lin Daiyu looked at each other, smiled, and stood up to dress.
On this canal, they would take a boat ride for two or three months. At the beginning, they might have taken a look at the lake view, but now they no longer felt any novelty. They could just read and practice in the boat, which was quite leisurely. Lan
Both men and women seem to like novelty.
On the deck, Lin Luofeng held a long sword and inspected the surroundings seriously.
The most dangerous time is on the boat.
The maids and servants passing by all around subconsciously stayed away from this evil star.
Commander Lin didn't take it seriously. As a Jinwu Guard, he couldn't have any friendship with other people. Otherwise, it will affect your official duties and make the Holy One jealous.
The gain outweighs the loss.
"Kick, kick~" soft but firm footsteps came from the deck. Lan
Lin Luofeng has one ear and a solemn expression, he is a master!
Turn around.
"Commander Lin, you are tired from the wind and rain outside. I asked the maid to cook you some ginseng soup to replenish your energy." Jia Min said with a smile.
Lin Luofeng looked her up and down, quite surprised.
The lower body is powerful, gripping the ground like a tiger, and the knuckles are soft and sharp. I haven't noticed before, but this Mrs. Lin is actually a master?
General tiger girl?
"Commander Lin?" Jia Minhu asked. Lan
"Ah, it's okay. It's windy outside the ship, and my wife is fragile. Please go back to the ship." Commander Lin came to his senses and said subconsciously.
Then I remembered that according to my estimation, this lady's combat power was probably not inferior to mine, and I felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Commander, please remember to go to the dining room to have some soup during your free time. I will take my leave." Jia Min smiled and left.
Although she feels that her strength has increased a bit recently, she has no idea of her own strength.
Besides, every time I see my daughter being bullied by the little yellow cat, and she tries to help, she is always pushed away with a paw. Even in recent days, her complexion and skin have improved, and both mother and daughter have been beaten together.
If you can't even beat a kitten, what's the point of lifting the solid wood bed easily?
It's all just clouds. Lan
…
The night is dark and windy.
The big ship anchored on the lake so that the noble man could rest.
No one noticed that slender bamboo poles gradually approached the boat on the lake.
"Plop~" Something seemed to fall from the big ship.
The bamboo pole stopped.
After waiting for a moment, a group of men in black under the water continued to move forward under the leadership of a scarface. Lan
"Meow~" Suddenly a little yellow cat blocked the way in front of everyone.
The strange thing is that this cat is actually riding on a carp that is as big as a child and is covered in golden light.
Miao Le looked at their costumes curiously: "Meow!"
coincidence! Are you here to poop?
Being underwater and relying on water for food, everyone is naturally very superstitious. Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened, and some even put their hands together in worship.
"Meet the Dragon King!"
"Grandpa Dragon King is well!" Lan
…
Miao Le:......
You are so polite, I am embarrassed to do anything.
The leader, Scarface, was also shocked. According to legend, those Jinshi were descended from the heavenly Wenquxing, and their literary energy could protect the body and ward off all evils. Even celebrities from all over the country, there was also the saying that Master Qingtian ordered the Dragon King.
Are those legends true? Otherwise, how could this little yellow cat ride on such a big carp, and the carp instead squints its eyes and puffs bubbles with enjoyment?
He has done a lot of bad things in his life, and compared to those of his subordinates, Scarface is more afraid.
After hesitating for a moment, Scar showed off his excellent water skills, clasped his fists underwater, bowed, then kowtowed three times, turned around and swam away. Lan
The dozen or so subordinates who followed him were so impressed that they could only bow a few times and swim quickly.
Swimmed for a while.
"Meow~"
Scarface paused, looking horrified.
The little yellow cat appeared in front of them again, this time riding a big turtle, and why could this guy make a sound in the water?
Oh, it's the Dragon King, that's okay.
After hesitating for a moment, Scarface simply surfaced and said loudly: "Lord Dragon, if you have any orders, just tell me, I will go through fire and water without any hesitation!"
The turtle also floated to the surface of the water, stretching its neck to look curiously at the brave man in front of it.
Sitting on the turtle shell, the little yellow cat tilted its head, its blue eyes seemed to emit a faint blue light in the dark night.
After a while, the little yellow cat raised its paw and pointed at the ship in the distance.
Lao Gui was stunned, what does this mean? It was definitely not asking them to continue taking action, otherwise they wouldn't show up. Could it be that they were asking him to surrender and become a prisoner?
This is impossible!
There is no word "surrender" in Lao Gui's dictionary. The worst he can do is die! Could he still be able to arrest his own soul and prevent him from reincarnation forever?
And since this cat can't speak, it's definitely not the Dragon King. Maybe it's a slightly smarter cat playing tricks. Lan
In terms of water quality, he is outstanding, in terms of skill, he is even more impressive, and in terms of number, he has more than a dozen brothers.
The advantage is his!
Pulling out the sharp blade from his waist, a stern look flashed in Lao Guan's eyes.
Today, he will give it a try to see who is the real overlord in the water!
"kill!"
.......
Half an hour later. Lan
"Dongdongdong~" Jia Min, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly heard a knock on the door.
The maid waiting outside got up, pressed against the door, and asked quietly: "Who is it? What's going on?"
"Report to Mrs. Lin that there is an emergency outside the ship and she needs to make a decision!" Commander Lin also whispered.
"Oh, wait then."
Jia Min had already dressed at this time, put on a cloak, tied her hair casually, and then went out accompanied by two maids.
After exchanging pleasantries, Commander Lin took him to the deck, where he saw a dozen men in black with wounds all over their bodies, all crying for their fathers and mothers.
"Lord Dragon, I was wrong!" Lan
"Lord Dragon, I don't dare anymore, just let me go!"
"Mom, save me!"
One of the scarred faces had dull eyes, his whole body twitched from time to time, and he occasionally spat out a mouthful of water, showing his good water quality.
.......
"This?" Jia Min was confused.
Commander Lin cupped his fists and said, "Mrs. Lin, for some reason these people suddenly approached our ship and called for help, and each of them had sharp weapons and chisels on them.
Just now I asked my men to arrest two people for interrogation. They wanted to scuttle our ship and seek wealth and death. "Lan
Jia Min Yile, where is the enemy here that would send someone like this to assassinate him?
After pondering for a moment, Jia Min said: "I am not a woman who understands this. It is better for Commander Lin to handle the execution and interrogation. I hope Commander Lin will make the decision for me to assassinate the royal wife."
"yes!"
After agreeing, Lin Luofeng walked towards these people with a smile.
The journey was boring, and these people came at just the right time. I had to recall the skills I had learned from the masters before, otherwise I might be unfamiliar with them.
"ah!"
When Scarface came back to his senses, he looked at the wooden pick stuck in his nail and felt like crying. Lan
He really used his strength to prove who is the king of the water.
It's obvious that he's beaten!
…
In early winter, Jia Min and his party finally arrived in Shangjing.
Over the past few months, Commander Lin became more and more surprised. Every time he met, Mrs. Lin seemed to put more and more pressure on him.
Worthy of being a general.
At the port, everyone abandoned their boats and landed, and the Rongguo Mansion sent sedans and vehicles carrying luggage to wait for a long time. Lan
"Mrs. Lin, say goodbye!" Commander Lin said goodbye with a group of subordinates and prisoners.
In Shangjing, no thief dared to offend Rongguo Mansion, so he naturally had to go back to report on his duties. In addition, the news obtained from that old man was really shocking.
Everything must be decided by God.
Holding her son and holding her daughter's hand, Jia Min got into the car going home.
Lin Daiyu often heard her mother say that her grandmother's family was different from other families. What I saw today was just the few third-class servants who were waiting outside, and their clothing and expenses were extraordinary.
Blinking his eyes, he had the support of his mother and was not afraid of jokes. He said curiously: "Mom, I feel like these people are different from those at home."
Jia Min looked out through the screen window. The market was bustling and crowded. When she heard her daughter's question, she smiled and said: "Daiyu, you have never heard a sentence: the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door. The Jia family As hereditary three princes, these servants are naturally superior to others." Lan
Lin Daiyu was thoughtful. The expressions of these servants looking at passers-by outside seemed to be the same as Lele looking at herself.
Does Lele also think that he is the head of the family?
Really not good at all!
snort!
My mother said that her daughter will have milk when she grows up. When she has milk in the future, she will only give it to herself and her mother, not Lele!
Little Yellow Cat:? ? ?
...Lan
Yangzhou.
Lin Ruhai, who was keeping accounts in the study room, suddenly coughed violently.
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough~"
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Lin Ruhai took out a golden hair from his arms, soaked it in tea, and drank it after a while.
"Hiccup~"
This auspicious sign is so useful! Even though we are thousands of miles away, we can still protect you. Lin Ruhai spit out a mouthful of black blood and sighed secretly.
But don't mention it, the poisons used by those people are getting stronger and stronger. Lan
But, with this magical thing here, it’s not a big problem!
Lin Ruhai, who was concentrating on doing the accounting, didn't notice that the golden hair was already a little dull.
