Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Lin Ruhai said that it was okay for his wife to go, but she had to wait for him.

The job of patrolling the salt censor was a business trip. If there weren't too many problems in Jiangnan, he would have returned to Beijing with his wife long ago.

Originally, according to Lin Ruhai's temperament, he would not tolerate even a grain of salt in his eyes, but now that he puts his wife first, he naturally lets his opponent go.

In fact, he himself also had this illusion. He felt that his lower limit had dropped too quickly, and he felt that he was no longer the same person.

For example, when he drank the "poisonous tea" in front of Jia Yucun, even if the potion had been secretly replaced by him, the former Lin Ruhai would not dare to drink it in front of An Jia Yucun because of his heart.

This was too risky, and Lin Ruhai once believed that a gentleman should not stand under dangerous walls.

What he thinks and does now is so different.

He was thinking wildly in his mind, but he continued to use his official tools for private purposes and arranged secret guards to investigate what happened to Jia's family, which could lead to Jia's mother, regardless of her dignity, to come to Jia Min and talk nonsense about a patient.

Only when he saw the information handed over by the secret guard two days later did he know the cause of the incident.

After he killed Zhao Shihong and released Wu Xishou, he created a gap in the Jiangnan civil and military factions.

The emperor also actively cooperated with him and let the military attachés off lightly, but he severely punished officials in Jiangnan's literary circles regardless of their size. Among them, there were smart people who came to the Jinling Zhen family and established a relationship with the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, Mrs. Zhen took advantage of Jia Yuanchun and wrote a letter to Jia's mother, just to draw Lin Ruhai's attention from business matters to housework.

Even if Lin Ruhai could protect his wife and children and manage the Lin family like an iron bucket, he still couldn't prevent the enemy from exploiting loopholes elsewhere.

It's not that Jia Mu doesn't love Jia Min anymore, but as an old woman and a widow, she has to make plans for her two biological sons. Now the old lady has fallen ill because of this, but Jia She and Jia Zheng are still confused.

As soon as Lin Ruhai arrived at this time, he secretly hated why there was a Supreme Emperor on the emperor's head, and his rebellious thoughts kept rolling in his mind.

The Supreme Emperor was once a wise and powerful man. When he took the throne, it was very difficult, so he always wanted to do something that would leave his name in history.

But as he got older, he became really confused. Not only was he so happy with his achievements, he also arranged for the eunuchs and eunuchs around him to sell their jobs.

Now, because he has received ill-gotten gains from corrupt officials, he is letting them hold back the emperor.

Every time the emperor wanted to use a knife to cut off the carrion, he would mess around with it. It turned out that Lin Ruhai didn't care, and only obeyed the orders to do his best to repay the royal family's trust. But now, he couldn't help but start thinking about other things.

"The Zhen family is generally quite loyal. If we let them rot like this, we will have blinded Zhen Yingjia in vain."

Lin Ruhai knew Jinling well. His hometown was Gusu, but his family also had an old house in Jinling.

Although his family's residence when he was a prince has been taken back by the royal family, his family's wealth also allows him to own several residences in Jinling City.

The one they currently live in is one of them.

After knowing the cause of the incident, Lin Ruhai focused on the Jinling Zhen family.

The official position of the Zhen family, that is, Zhen Yingjia, is now solid. His temperament and personality are similar to Jia Zheng's, and he is very upright.

Although she has separated from her eldest brother, Mrs. Zhen still lives with her second son.

The daughters of the Zhen family are more impressive. Not to mention the old concubine in the palace, their family also has two daughters who have been married to the capital and become princesses.

The Supreme Emperor trusted their family so much that he picked them up four times just because he asked to be picked up.

In addition to these main characters, there are also the Third Master Zhen, the Fourth Master Zhen and others who were born as concubines, but these people just bought their official names and have no real power.

Because their family was firmly tied to the Emperor's chariot, they just watched with cold eyes as Jiangnan was in chaos.

As a close associate of the emperor, Lin Ruhai came to Jiangnan to handle cases, but they had never been in a hurry to socialize with him.

On the contrary, Jia Min used to send gifts on holidays as an old relative, so Lin Ruhai thought that the two families were very close, so she sent a message to make an appointment and came to visit.

No one knows what the two talked about specifically, but not long after, Master Zhen and Fourth Master Zhen were appointed officials by the emperor and went to Lanzhou to serve as county magistrates.

The eldest son of the Zhen family suddenly obtained a magical elixir for longevity from the sea, and four more "elixir-delivery fairies" came to Beijing to offer auspicious blessings to the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor was so pleased with Queen Long Xin that he almost awarded the Zhen family a title, but Mrs. Zhen repeatedly declined and finally changed the title to a gold medal for immunity from death.

In fact, what is the use of the Supreme Emperor's death-free gold medal? Once others are dead, the emperor can do whatever he wants with their family.

Therefore, the real gold medal for immunity from death is given by the emperor.

Lin Ruhai visited Zhen's house and realized that their house was bright on the outside but poor on the inside.

Their family's pick-up expenses all came from the emperor's money, but they developed a arrogant and extravagant temper.

It is impossible to say that there is no corruption in their pick-up service. Seeing a huge amount of wealth slipping past their eyes, if they don't take the opportunity to get some luck, could it be that they are all reincarnated as saints?

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Zhen Yingjia also thought about changing the bad habits in the family, but after all the calculations, there was nothing wrong with it.

Lin Ruhai just threw the family's daily expenses and income book on Zhen Yingjia's table, and said, "The emperor already knows", and then said, "I heard that the emperor's health is not good." Zhen Yingjia knelt down in a cold sweat and begged for mercy. .

He himself was worried every day, so how could he not understand their family's situation? After hearing Lin Ruhai say that the emperor would definitely spare their family's lives in the future, Zhen Yingjia gratefully followed Lin Ruhai's advice.

The first is to decompose and separate the third master Zhen and the fourth master Zhen. In order to have money to spend, they boldly hooked up with spies from other countries. Lin Ruhai said that he also knew about this, and Zhen Yingjia assumed that the emperor had full authority to understand and forgive them.

Little did he know that after Lin Ruhai left, he discussed the matter with the secret guard leader, and based on the instructions given by Master Zhen and Fourth Master, the two groups of spies were controlled.

This job was really reckless, but Lin Ruhai was lucky. The secret guard he sent to help Yinglian find the kidnapper happened to lead people and blocked the bad guys.

Therefore, none of these people escaped, and they even gave Lin Ruhai a secret base.

The Hai Shangfang gift given to the Supreme Emperor by the Zhen family is also a really useful secret medicine. It is not a lie to say that it can prolong life.

But the four "delivery fairies" given as gifts are the top priority. The four of them all have the appearance of someone who could conquer a country, but they are the result of careful training. While they were enjoying themselves with the Supreme Emperor, they were also killing his life.

From the moment Zhen Yingjia chose to attach himself to the new emperor again, he considered it a life-saving rope and it also became the rope he used to hang himself. But he had no choice but to choose this. After all, the Supreme Emperor was old and could not protect them for much longer.
