Chapter 57: Resign, or if you can’t resign, leave your wife and children behind

Chapter 57: Resign, or if you can’t resign, leave your wife and children behind (please read more!)
Jia Min turned his attention to Jia Lian.

"Is this Lian'er?"

Jia Lian obediently bowed to Jia Min, looked at Jia Min with bright eyes, and said sweetly: "Aunt Min is even more beautiful than my mother-in-law told me."

Jia Min laughed instantly and reached out to touch Jia Lian's head.

"I heard at home that you have a sharp mind and don't like to read. This is really worse than seeing it. Today, when I saw it in the letter, it was a bit reserved."

The smiling Jia Min poked Jia Lian without hesitation, and Jia Lian's face suddenly turned red.

All the adults laughed.

"Sister, you know who you are."

"Why don't you apologize to your Aunt Min quickly?"

"Auntie, forgive me. Lian'er was wrong. I don't dare to be glib again."

Jia Min touched Jia Lian's head again, and Jia Lian closed his eyes comfortably.

Jia She's face was full of smiles.

"The old lady is waiting at home. Sister, please come with me!"

Jia Min nodded and walked forward with Jia She, while Jia Zheng accompanied Lin Ruhai.

"I heard that my brother-in-law is going to be promoted again during this work report?"

Lin Ruhai's face was full of bitterness.

"It's not that easy to get promoted. I offended a lot of salt merchants in Yangzhou, and they won't let me get promoted easily."

As she said this, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Zheng, who didn't know what he was thinking.

After asking, he stopped talking to Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai was happy to be at ease.

After all, talking to Jia Zheng is a tiring task.

Not only do you have to consider his emotions, but also guess his thoughts.

This is not as happy as Jia She. Jia She is a man who speaks his mind and has the temperament of a true military commander.

When talking to him, you can get straight to the point and speak freely.

There may be different opinions, but it will not affect the feelings.

Several people got on the carriage, and Jia She, Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai sat in one.

Jia Min sat down with Daiyu and Jia Lian, who were carried down by the nanny.

Jia Lian looked curiously at Daiyu in Jia Min's arms.

I saw that Daiyu was small, with a pink face, very cute.

Seeing this, Jia Lian thought of Jia Baoyu in his own family.

Compared with Jia Baoyu, Daiyu is really too thin.

Jia Lian turned his attention to Jia Min.

"Is my sister sick?"

Jia Min nodded with loving eyes.

"My sister is sick. Now she is tired. Lian'er should not disturb her to sleep."

Jia Min ordered Jia Lian.

Jia Lian nodded heavily and kept his eyes on Lin Daiyu, with pity in his eyes.

He was also in poor health when he was young, and the two of them had the same illness.

On the other side, behind Jia She's carriage, Jia She looked very serious.

"Brother-in-law, this report on duty may be very dangerous."

Lin Ruhai's eyes flickered and he looked at Jia She.

"Brother, what did you hear?"

Jia She nodded heavily, and Jia Zheng, who was sitting opposite Lin Ruhai, also looked serious.

Lin Ruhai is the son-in-law of their Rongguo Mansion, and if something happens to him, it will not be a good thing for the entire Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Ruhai spoke quietly with deep eyes.

"I knew those salt merchants wouldn't let me go."

Looking at Lin Ruhai's appearance, Jia She sighed heavily, with a touch of worry in his eyes.

"If it doesn't work, my brother-in-law should resign."

"The lives of my family members are far more important than any high-ranking official or good salary."

Jia She reminded Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai's face was full of bitterness, and this official position was not something you could resign just because you wanted to.

It requires the consent of the emperor and the emperor.

Except this.
Lin Ruhai's expression became even more bitter, and Jia She saw Lin Ruhai's expression in his eyes. According to the memory of the original owner, the salt merchants were the most vindictive, and Lin Ruhai did right by them for five or six years, and was elected as the salt inspector for two consecutive terms.

They probably hate Lin Ruhai very much in their hearts!

Lin Ruhai looked up at Jia She.

"Thank you for your kindness, brother, but I'm afraid I won't be able to resign from this position."

Jia She frowned.

"Why can't you resign? Is it because the emperor and the emperor won't give in?"

Lin Ruhai nodded, and Jia She's frown tightened.

After two meetings, it became clear that the emperor was not a person who didn't care whether his courtiers lived or died.

Lin Ruhai had been sitting there for five or six years at the Salt Patrol Palace. If he sat down again, he would probably die.

If he continues to let Lin Ruhai go, it will inevitably chill the hearts of all the courtiers.

Lin Ruhai opened his mouth to explain.

"Yan Zheng has always been a leech that lies on Da Chu's body and sucks blood. The reason why I was placed in this position by the Supreme Emperor was because I came from a Jiangnan family, and my ancestors were four generations of princes."

"With such a background, if I want to do something in the salt administration, I can still protect myself."

"Anyone else might not be as lucky as me. That's why the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor allowed me to serve two consecutive terms."

In other words, Lin Ruhai is the emperor and the emperor's best choice, and other courtiers cannot do what Lin Ruhai can do.

Lin Ruhai told the Emperor and the Emperor why he had been re-elected, and Jia She's eyes were full of worry.

"That's not what you can do."

"We can't always be targeted by these salt merchants. As far as I know, these salt merchants have no bottom line."

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly.

"Tell me the truth, does my sister's miscarriage have something to do with these salt merchants?"

Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia She, whose face turned dark, and nodded to Jia She.

"They gave Min'er medicine to induce labor. If Min'er hadn't been in good health, she would have died."

Lin Ruhai's face showed pain.

Their purpose of doing this is simple, that is, through Jia Min's death, he will resign.

Jia She's face was solemn.

"This officer must resign. If I don't, I'm afraid your whole family will be killed."

Jia Zheng heard some fantastic stories. A group of lowly businessmen dared to murder the imperial wife, especially the girl from their Rongguo Mansion. How could they be so bold? Aren't they afraid of revenge from the Rongguo Mansion?

"Can this be confirmed to be the work of those salt merchants?"

In disbelief, Jia Zheng asked Lin Ruhai. For him, businessmen were humble and timid.

Especially the preferential treatment he received every time he returned to Jinling to take the exam. It was clearly told to him that businessmen did not dare to touch them.

Lin Ruhai nodded towards Jia Zheng.

Jia She looked at Jia Zheng with displeasure in his eyes. At this time, you are still doubtful.

Is Lin Ruhai the kind of person who talks nonsense?
Jia She was really asking someone to pick on people's hurt points. Jia She gave Jia Zheng a hard look. Jia Zheng remembered that Jia She had beaten him in the morning. He was afraid of being beaten again, so he cowardly shut his mouth.

Jia She turned his attention to Lin Ruhai.

"This official must resign. If he can't resign, he will leave Min'er and his niece in the capital."

"They can never take such risks with you again."

Lin Ruhai nodded towards Jia She and saluted Jia She again.

"Thank you, brother. I have tried to persuade Min'er to return to Beijing, but she refused."

"When the time comes, I'll ask my eldest brother to help me with my persuasion."

Jia She nodded accordingly.

"Don't worry, Min'er is my biological sister. I won't see anything happen to her no matter what."

"As for your resignation, you can rest assured that the entire Jia family will help you."

"Thank you, brother!"

Lin Ruhai's eyes turned red and she saluted Jia She gratefully again.

Jia She sighed deeply.
