Chapter 8: The whole family died
"Don't worry, ma'am. Father will definitely let those people go."
[Just saying this, I believe it, he has no time to take care of himself, how can he take care of me? ]
"I know about the old man's affairs. I have heard from outsiders a long time ago that Mr. Lin is a man of great talent and both martial arts and martial arts. He is a man of talent, so naturally I believe him." Shen Ajiao said sincerely, and she was afraid that Daiyu would not believe it. Her main character was gentle, virtuous, kind and generous.
[Trust him? Trust him like a fool! 」
【Believing in him is like believing that I can live longer than he does.】
Lin Daiyu: If it were the villain above your head and what was in your heart, I would almost believe it.
My father is in danger...
"Madam, you are too kind. Father has taken good care of me in many ways. Please understand. Father will definitely correct it and do better."
Lin Daiyu: Dad, I can only help you up to this point. The new wife doesn’t believe in you. I can’t do anything else. You’d better wish you good luck.
[Lin Ruhai, how could you have given birth to such a considerate daughter! ]
[You're protecting me like this, and you still have the nerve to ask me to trust you? ? ]
Lin Ruhai, who was working in the study, sneezed violently. Who was cursing me behind my back?
When he thought that it might be his new wife, he suddenly became depressed.
"Where are the people sent to the capital?"
"Sir, send it 800 miles urgently. I estimate that the letter will reach the capital tonight."
Lin Ruhai listened to his subordinates' words, nodded, and was about to get up to see Shen Ajiao when he heard the servant say, "Sir, Mr. Jia wants to see you."
Lin Ruhai frowned. What was he doing here? Did he find a new employer?
A moment later, the servant brought Jia Yucun in.
"Greetings to the Lord."
"What brings you here today, Mr. Jia?"
Jia Yucun muttered in his heart, "Why is Lord Lin so stern today? He is usually so gentle and kind, but he is so cautious because of his new wife."
"My Lord, do you still remember what you told me a few days ago?"
Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Yucun looked like he was trying to figure out something evil, but he still had to deal with him first. "Oh, it's about my daughter's trip to Beijing."
"Mr. Jia, you know the situation at home. I am currently taking care of my daughter. I am afraid the timing is uncertain."
Jia Yucun's heart skipped a beat. "Determined?" What does that mean? "Did you go?" Or did he say there was no recommendation letter?
"Haha~ That's it, but I followed my parents' instructions and said goodbye to my relatives and friends and packed my bags, this..."
Lin Ruhai snorted in his heart, knowing that you were going to escort my daughter to Beijing, I thought you were in a hurry to go to Beijing to curry favor with others!
"Then don't stop me, sir. I will make other plans for my daughter's studies." As he said this, he asked someone to bring fifty taels of silver and gave it to Jia Yucun to make arrangements for going to the capital.
Jia Yucun was stunned for a while, then he kept saying yes, and then he kept saying yes. Seeing that Lin Ruhai did not mention the recommendation letter, he felt annoyed and secretly resentful.
But for the sake of his future, 놊de놊 licked his cheek and said,
"Sir, what about the letter of recommendation you mentioned last time?"
"Mr. Jia, you know that the higher-ups have been investigating very strictly recently. You are in a very difficult position and this is not something you are afraid of."
When Jia Yucun heard this, he thought, "You are so nice, Lin Ruhai. You promised to do something for me but it was done by me. Do you think I am so easy to bully?"
"Then could you please write a letter so that I can have a chance?"
Lin Ruhai: It is possible to write a letter.
"Sir, you are trying to put me in a difficult position." Lin Ruhai sighed.
"I can contact you directly, but we have been friends for many years, so I will tell you. But you... no matter who I write to, I will be trapped in the other person's kindness."
Lin Ruhai: I understand what you said. Hurry up and leave. I wrote the letter to avoid implicating other people. We have been friends for many years. I hope you don’t want to implicate me.
Jia Yucun had been an official for one or two years. Hearing the meaning behind Lin Ruhai's words, his face turned red and white. He quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "That's what I meant. Sir Lin, please don't misunderstand me. Since you haven't given any instructions, I will go first."
Seeing that Jia Yucun was interested, Lin Ruhai gave him another fifty taels of silver. He then asked someone to send a letter to the capital to investigate Jia Yucun and block his official career.
Jia Yucun was already feeling embarrassed. He just needed to get the letter of recommendation. He had to put aside his master's affairs. He had said goodbye to all his relatives and friends one by one. There was no point in staying and it would only add to his troubles. He gritted his teeth, took his luggage and money, rented a small boat, and headed towards the capital.
When Lin Ruhai heard that Jia Yucun had gone to the capital, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he let him swell for a while.
When Shen Ajiao drank the honey dew jasmine tea brewed by Daiyu herself, she felt completely satisfied and her internal organs were unblocked. Then she asked, "What kind of poison did I get? Why did I get poisoned alone among the three of us?"
Lin Daiyu's eyes flashed with apology, "The poison is in that plate of pork elbow."
Shen Ajiao suddenly realized what was going on. It was strange. Lin Daiyu had a weak spleen and stomach, so it was good for her to eat more. She could only eat those greasy foods temporarily. Lin Ruhai was even more reluctant to eat these. That pork elbow was specially prepared for Shen Ajiao, so...
Shen A-Jiao frowned. She was able to analyze the diets and habits of the three of them in such a short time. She must be no ordinary person.
[Poisoning me would not benefit Lin Ruhai in the slightest, and would only give him something to hold against him.]
Lin Ruiru, who was about to enter the house, burst into tears: Madam, have you finally come to your senses?
[If you want to say that it was done by Lin Ruhai, then it was done by someone close to Lin Ruhai! ]
Lin Ruhai: Madam, do you have a target?
[Lin Ruhai, that bastard, keeps a slut by his side. Hey, sooner or later, he'll poison you to death!]
Lin Ruhai: ...Thank you!!
Lin Daiyu hurriedly explained, "Father examined the case last night and found that the person who poisoned the woman committed suicide by taking poison, but the person behind the incident still needs to be investigated..."
"Well, I believe the old man can find the real murderer."
[Humph, if he dares to find me, this is related to his life and death. If he dares to poison me today, it will be Lin Baobao tomorrow and him in the future.]
[This ending is directly be! 】
Lin Ruhai: The whole family died together.
But what Shen Ajiao said makes sense. Today it was her, tomorrow it could be him and Yu'er. How can you just sit there and wait for death? Do you want me to give up investigating the salt tax loopholes just because you dare to touch my family?
Since everyone is so free, why not find something to do together? He wants to see how long those on his list can hold out!
Of course Shen Ajiao knew that her inner thoughts were heard by the father and daughter. Only Lin Ruhai got busy, and Lin Daiyu was deeply inspired and started to work in her own yard.
She hadn't noticed it before, but she accidentally saw that the maids who came in the morning were the same as the maids who came in the evening, and all the familiar maids in the morning had disappeared. Then Shen Ajiao realized that even the maids and old women who followed Daiyu were always different.
Shen Ajiao couldn't help but sigh, "See, smart people are smart, but their eyes that were originally blinded, now that the blindfold has been taken off, the world will become clear."
