"Why?" Jia Jue asked.

"It is said that the old emperor was so angry that he took away my sister's body, and I don't know what to do with it." Qingyu shook her head.

A gleam flashed in Jia Jue's eyes, which meant that no one had seen Hongyu's body except the late emperor.

In this way, the person Ji Zhong sees may not be dazzled.

He asked again: "It is said that the crown prince had several heirs back then, but is your sister among them?"

Qingyu shook her head: "Even though my sister and the crown prince fell in love with each other back then, they never had any intimacy."

The two are not intimate?

Jia Jue frowned slightly. So far, this matter still gave him a feeling of seeing flowers in the fog, and there were still many guesses and unreasonable things in it.

However, there are limited clues at present, so we can only shelve it for now, and we will slowly understand it in the future.

"Third Master, go and see Miss."

At this time, Zijuan suddenly came to Jia Jue and said to him anxiously.

"What happened to her?" Jia Jue asked.

"Miss, she didn't fall asleep last night, shed tears all night, refused to drink medicine, refused to eat, just now coughed up blood again." Zijuan said hastily.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look." Jia Jue nodded and came to Lin Daiyu's cabin.

Pushing the door open, he saw Lin Daiyu sitting in front of the window, staring out the window in a daze, her beautiful face was as pale as paper, but tears kept rolling down from her eyes.

There was hot porridge on the table, but it had not been touched.

Jia Jue came to sit beside her, followed her gaze and looked out the window, but what caught his eyes was the sparkling water.

"What is sister Lin looking at?" He asked softly.

Lin Daiyu turned her head, saw that it was Jia Jue, and quickly wiped away her tears: "Brother Jue, why are you here?"

"I heard that you coughed up blood again just now, so I came to take a look." Jia Jue said.

Lin Daiyu shook her head: "It's just a bad cough, it's okay."

Jia Jue glanced at her, reached out to hold her little hand, and felt that her hand was unusually cold.

Lin Daiyu blushed, and quickly wanted to withdraw her hand, but Jia Jue grabbed her tightly.

Jia Jue grabbed her hand and gave her pulse.

The next moment, he frowned: "Sister Lin, your condition is not good, and your illness has been repeated. If you continue like this, you may not be able to hold on before you reach the south of the Yangtze River. Let alone take care of uncle, I am afraid that uncle will take care of you."

Lin Daiyu cried: "Brother Jue, I didn't mean to do this, but when I think of my father, I..."

Lin Ruhai is in danger, life and death are uncertain, whenever she thinks about it, she becomes anxious, can't sleep at night, and can't stop crying.

Jia Jue nodded: "Sister Lin, I asked you something, can you answer me honestly?"

"Yes. Brother Jue, tell me." Lin Daiyu replied.

"You trust me?" Jia Jue asked.

Lin Daiyu nodded without hesitation: "I believe, Brother Jue is the person I trust the most."

Jia Jue smiled: "Okay, since you believe me, let me tell you the truth. I made a fortune for my uncle last night, and my uncle's death should turn into auspicious luck."

Lin Daiyu's beautiful eyes revealed a look of surprise: "Brother Jue, are you serious?"

Jia Jue once shocked everyone with his divination skills during the Wendou in Zuixianlou, and Lin Daiyu naturally knew about it.

Jia Jue nodded: "It's absolutely true."

"That's good! That's good!" Lin Daiyu wept with joy.

Jia Jue reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her face, and said softly:

"That's why, don't be sad, take good care of yourself, even if uncle needs your care, you can't fall down."

Feeling Jia Jue's gentle movements and listening to his gentle words, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Jia Jue walked to the table, picked up the porridge bowl, scooped up a spoonful, blew gently, and brought it to Lin Daiyu's mouth.

Lin Daiyu's face turned red, she took a sneaky look at Jia Jue, then opened her cherry mouth, and took a sip of the rice porridge.

"Is it hot?" Jia Jue asked softly.

Lin Daiyu shook her head lightly.

Jia Jue nodded, scooped up another spoonful, blew on it, and brought it to Lin Daiyu's mouth.

Seeing his gentle movements, Lin Daiyu's beautiful eyes flashed a trace of confusion, she couldn't help but murmured:

"Brother Jue..."

Chapter 291 Hell Has No Door

a few days later.

Yangzhou, Sylphy Tea House, private room.

"Everyone, Lin Ruhai, who got in the way, is near the end of his life, and the days I've been waiting for are finally going to be easier."

At the table, a middle-aged man with a big belly said to the other three men and one woman.

They are the five largest salt merchants in the entire Jiangnan area, controlling the salt business in the Jiangnan area and even the surrounding areas.

The one who spoke was Jiang Quan, one of the five great salt merchants.

"Why are you so anxious, Lin Ruhai is not dead yet." An old man with a thin face and a gloomy expression said coldly.

His name was Qian Wei, one of the top five salt merchants, and also the leader of the largest gang in Jinling Province, with a lot of murders in his hands.

"Hehehe." A woman with a charming face laughed coquettishly, and said softly, "Master Qian, don't be so scary when you talk, what is life and death, my family is panicking."

This woman's name is Mudan, who used to be a well-known oiran in the south of the Yangtze River. After she got older, it is said that she got on the Jiangnan salt transport envoy. In a few years, she became one of the five largest salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Peony, don't pretend to be garlic, Lin Ruhai is your hands, right?" A burly and strong man said.

Mudan glared at him, and said angrily: "Wei Hu! If you hadn't been tender and affectionate with the slave family, otherwise you would definitely not give up with you!"

The last old man with white hair and beard glanced at her: "You bastard, quickly put away your tricks, who knows that your followers are all outlaws? Who are you?"

Mudan's expression changed when she heard the words, she slapped the table and shouted to the old man:

"Zhen Xuan! You don't slander others. My old lady has always been law-abiding. Before that, many places were plagued by locusts. My old lady donated a million taels of silver to the imperial court! What did you do again? Have you ever donated a penny?"

Zhen Xuan replied lightly: "What does donating money have to do with killing Lin Ruhai? If you donate money, you won't be able to kill him?"

"You!" Peony was furious.

"Wait, wait!" Jiang Quan quickly interrupted the two of them, "Why should I be suspicious of each other? I wonder what kind of powerful opponent Lin Ruhai has provoked. At this moment, what we are waiting to discuss is how to distribute the talents. "

Mudan gave Zhen Xuan a hard look, and suppressed her dissatisfaction. Indeed, how to distribute Yanyin is a major issue.

Yanyin is the salt transportation and sales license certificate issued by the Yamen to salt merchants.

The salt industry is a hugely profitable business, and the imperial court supervises it very strictly. Therefore, the salt quotations issued by the yamen are also limited.

How to distribute these salt quotations has become a matter of great importance to several major salt merchants.

After all, the more salt you get, the more money you make.

Just when everyone was about to fight for their own interests, Qian Wei suddenly said:

"Do you really think that the matter of Lin Ruhai has nothing to do with you?"

"What do you say?" Everyone was taken aback.

"There's a letter from the capital. The emperor has ordered Ying Tianfu to thoroughly investigate the case. Even the Jin Yiwei has been mobilized." Qian Wei said.

Everyone frowned when they heard the words, Du Juan said: "I'm afraid it has nothing to do with us?"

"Oh, nothing to do?" Wei Hu sneered, "Believe it or not, as long as Jin Yiwei arrives, we will be the first to suffer."

These words caused everyone to fall into silence. Everyone knew the virtue of Jin Yiwei, and they didn't even need evidence to handle the case.

"Then how do we deal with ourselves?" Peony asked.

"We must not sit still. I will let others see that we are wolves, not sheep!" Wei Hu snorted coldly.

Several people nodded slowly, only if they showed their fangs, would they not be swallowed in one bite.

They really need to come up with their own means.

"One more thing. It is said that the 'Master Jade' Jia Jue also came to the south of the Yangtze River, and Lin Ruhai is his uncle." Qian Wei added.

The eyes of several people lit up, and Wei Hu clapped his hands fiercely:

"Good job! It is said that this person is deeply favored by His Majesty. If he can be controlled, Jin Yiwei will not dare to act recklessly if he wants to make a fool of himself."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After observing everyone's reaction, a sharp light flashed in one person's eyes:

There is a way to heaven if you don't go, but there is no way to hell you break in!

Jia Jue!Jiangnan is your burial place!

……

Ying Tian Fu Ya.

A decent-looking middle-aged man was holding a letter with a dignified expression.

He is the magistrate of Yingtian Mansion, Jia Yucun, and he is also an extremely important character in The Red Chamber.

If he were summed up in a few words, it would be: ruthless, ungrateful, despicable and shameless.

Because of the support from Xiangling's father, Zhen Shiyin, he was able to go to Beijing to rush for the examination and become a Jinshi. However, in the lawsuit between Xue Pan and Feng Yuan, he clearly recognized Xiangling, but he just didn't know it, and let her become a slave in the hands of traffickers. Money-making props.

He relied on the Jia family to make a fortune, but in the end he bit back at the down-and-out Jia family and made trouble.

What he was holding in his hand at this moment was Zhao Qi's secret letter.

What happened to Lin Ruhai aroused Zhao Qi, and he ordered him to solve the case with strong words.

He put down the secret letter, stood up and paced back and forth.

He also knew about Lin Ruhai's matter, but he didn't want to care about it at all.
