Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

Tu Minghui said it was impossible not to be moved by Lin Daiyu, a girl who was so capable and had a very close relationship with the Pomegranate God. However, his own age was obviously not suitable, and among his several sons, he was of the right age.

But he was worried about randomly choosing anyone to marry.

Don't look back and start a fight over the inheritance.

So for a while, he didn't think about how to give Daiyu a marriage in order to maximize the benefits.

Only then did he express his desire to look at Daiyu for a moment.

It's a bit like making a decision in advance.

"Your Majesty, it is difficult for my wife and I to interfere with Yu'er's marriage. Although the marriage of children is the order of the parents and the word of the matchmaker, and the order of the emperor should come before the order of the parents.

But the Pomegranate Empress can be regarded as a teacher for one day and a father and mother for the rest of her life. The Empress seems to have other plans, so we are going to let Daiyu listen to the Pomegranate Empress.

Even whether they will get married in the future.

These are all uncertain things..."

Lin Ruhai's words were actually equivalent to a very tactful rejection. The Pomegranate Empress was just a cover.

However, they asked Daiyu to consult Qu Jie.

I only dare to say this with permission.

Hearing this, Tu Minghui's face was obviously not very good, but he also knew that it was very inappropriate to force a disciple of a god to marry. The Pomegranate Empress had great achievements and was the only manifest god in the world.

So after thinking again and again, he could only give up:

"That's all, since the Pomegranate Empress has her own ideas, then I won't interfere. However, if your daughter really gets engaged in the future, she must tell me and I will give you a gift or look back. It’s okay for me to give you the wedding blessing.”

Since there is no way to turn Daiyu into his daughter-in-law, he can only find another way to get some involvement.

"Then I will thank Your Majesty in advance!"

Lin Ruhai continued to smile and replied.

Then the two chatted for a few words without any embarrassment. Tu Minghui asked Lin Ruhai to step back and turned to look at Dai Quan: "How true are his words?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that we are inseparable!"

Dai Quan already knew the answer, so he spoke bluntly.

"pretty close……

Alas, it's a pity that it's rare to meet an immortal without fate, but it's just a girl. The fate is not small, and she may really become an immortal or a god in the future. I, the emperor, don't have that fate, and I will still be a handful of loess after a hundred years.

That’s all, you shouldn’t expect too much.

It would be nice to be famous throughout history in the future. "

Tu Minghui also felt in his heart that Lin Ruhai should not dare to tell too many lies. Since even her parents could not learn the exercises that Daiyu learned, it seemed that they were indeed special. How could he be able to learn them?

I'm afraid unless the Pomegranate Empress teaches it herself.

Otherwise nothing is possible to learn!

It has to be said that Lin Ruhai was able to successfully pass the test this time, in addition to relying on the prestige of the Pomegranate Empress, the more important thing is actually that Tu Minghui is a wise king. How could a faint king take this into consideration.

I just want it, what can you do?

Of course, no matter what, the matter is over for the time being, and the Lin family has settled down in the capital.

……

Morning the next day.

Tu Minghui was furious at the court meeting and asked Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War to jointly investigate the burning of official ships and the assassination of imperial officials, and the results must be produced within half a month, otherwise they will be questioned.

Then Lin Ruhai was promoted.

He was promoted to censor Zhongcheng, from the second rank.

How to describe it? This position belongs to the Yushitai, and is one of the several assistant officers under the Yushidao.

Further up is the imperial censor.

In charge of supervision.

Theoretically speaking, there is no Yushitai in the world that cannot be monitored or impeached. For example, the Salt Patrol Yushi is a temporary supervisory official sent by the Yushitai.

In short, this organization has great power.

All the officials were vaguely afraid.

Of course, this was something Tu Minghui did on the surface. In private, he arranged for many people to go to Yangzhou Mansion to arrest the officials mentioned in the ledger.

Although Tu Minghui currently has enough evidence to order an investigation against those people, the capital is indeed a bit far from Yangzhou, so ordering an investigation is simply to alert the snake.

No matter how much evidence there is, it must be destroyed.

Some people may even commit suicide out of fear of crime.

So it is better to arrest people first.

With the end of the Great Court Meeting, the entire capital was under martial law, and the Dali Temple was even more busy. They were collecting evidence, investigating, and interrogating. After nearly ten days of being so busy, they only found out a certain person. A killer organization, and jointly with the Ministry of War sent troops to wipe out several branches of that killer organization.

As for the instigators behind the arsonists, there is still no clue, because the arsonists started committing suicide one after another after waking up. They were basically knocked unconscious by Lin Daiyu before and were unable to commit suicide. Only in this way can they stay alive. Later they woke up. The guards who came here were not very strict. I don’t know whether they were unconsciously lax or deliberately lax. Anyway, they gave them a chance to commit suicide.

Everyone is dead, so it is naturally difficult to find out.

In the end, it was the people Tu Minghui secretly sent to Yangzhou Prefecture. When they arrested the officials and salt merchants on the list and strictly interrogated them, they not only obtained a large amount of incriminating evidence, but also obtained the arsonists. information, and the people behind it.

There is indeed a connection between the two things.

In other words, two things can be seen together into one thing.

As soon as all the evidence of guilt was obtained, Dai Quan immediately took the evidence to the Zichen Hall to pay a visit and reported back:

"Your Majesty, the Salt Administration matter and Lin Ruhai's assassination have been fully investigated. There is indeed a relationship between the two, or a relatively direct relationship.

Yangzhou's salt administration has always been controlled by the Zhen family. In the past few years, the proliferation of illegal salt and the reduction of salt taxes were all related to the Zhen family.

And the Zhen family is the emperor's money bag.

Therefore, no one has dared to investigate. There are also many officials and salt merchants who cooperate privately. A rough calculation shows that they can swallow more than [-]% of the salt tax every year.

This was the result of Lin Ruhai's many struggles. Before Lin Ruhai, they could swallow up [-]% to [-]% of the salt tax.

Lin Ruhai was assassinated this time because they suspected that Lin Ruhai secretly collected a lot of ledgers and evidence and brought them to the capital in order to get promoted. The first batch of assassins didn't know exactly who hired them, but there was a high probability that they were some salt men. Businessmen jointly spent money to hire them privately.

As for those who set the fire later, the information currently investigated points to Prince Yi Zhong. Those people are likely to be the dead soldiers raised by Prince Yi Zhong. Less than half of the money collected by the Zhen family over the years has actually been handed over to the Supreme Emperor. , the rest were handed over to Prince Yoshitaka.

The whereabouts of the money is very mysterious, and I suspect that Prince Yohitada may have maintained many private soldiers. "
