Forty-one hands cover the sky
"General Lin, there are two scholars from the Restoration Society outside the door asking for a visit."
As soon as Li Wei left, the servant guarding the inn hurriedly came to report.
After twice the hot tea, Lin Yu's drunkenness had already awakened most of the time. Jiang Ruhua tidied up her clothes and sat upright in the guest room, waiting for the guests.
Although they were also known as the "Fourth Young Master of the Late Ming Dynasty", Chen Zhenhui was much older and was in his forties. After seeing Lin Yu, he bowed and said, "Student Chen Zhenhui greeted General Lin!"
Fang Yizhi was in his early thirties, wearing straight faces, square flat scarves, hand-cranked folding fans, and looked like a Confucian master. He followed Chen Zhenhui to pay tribute to General Lin: "Student Fang Yizhi pays homage to General Lin!"
Both of them have both fame and fortune. Chen Zhenhui once won the second place in the "Country Examination" and was a juren. Her career was not going well, so she later joined Fushe.
Fang Yizhi was once a Jinshi, summoned by Emperor Chongzhen, and was awarded low-level official positions such as the Ministry of Works' Administration and the Hanlin Academy's review. Fang Yizhi's most brilliant resume was that he had served as a lecturer for King Ding and King Yong (son of Chongzhen).
After Chongzhen hanged Coal Mountain, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zhenhui and Hou Fangyu gathered in Nanjing, but were persecuted by Ruan Dacheng, who hated the Donglin Party; Hou Fangyu flew away and went away from another place, and Chen Zhenhui and Fang Yizhi were also struggling.
Chen Zhenhui made clear his intentions straightforward: "We admired the general's deeds from Brother Hou. The general is determined to recover the mountains and rivers. We are willing to serve the general and let us do whatever we can!"
Lin Yu was overjoyed and ordered Xier to pour tea for the two of them: "I heard about the two names for a long time. I have been allowed to reform the military system and ask the emperor for the right to open a government to govern the country another day. It is the time for the army to hire people. If you get help from the two, you will be more wings!"
Fang Yizhi said again: "As Brother Hou said, we have organized the brothers who are in Fushe to take to the streets to publicize General Lin's achievements. I dare not say that everyone in Nanjing knows it, at least the city is full of storms."
"That's great, so I'm not afraid that Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying will be unfavorable to me!" Lin Yu had already made an excuse, so naturally he wouldn't let them know that their reputation was actually to earn gold coins.
While Fang and Chen were tasting tea, Lin Yu quietly clicked on the palm of his left hand to check, and saw that the gold coins he currently owned reached 674,498, and it soared by 400,000 in just half a day. This Nanjing City is really a gold mine!
Fang Yizhi put down the tea bowl and said angrily: "I guess General Lin already knows that Fang Yu's brothers were arrested by the Ruan family. We come and ask the general to rescue him."
Lin Yu comforted the two and said, "It's not just Brother Hou who was arrested, but even my brother was arrested by Ruan Dacheng's son and went into the mansion."
Xier next to him interrupted, "Our young master is only thirteen years old this year, and the Ruan family is really bullying!"
Chen Zhenhui and Fang Yizhi were even more indignant when they heard this and bowed in unison: "General Lin, this Ruan Dacheng is really arrogant and domineering. He has only one hand covering the sky in Nanjing City and cannot tell the truth. You must impeach him in front of the emperor."
"One hand covers the sky?"
Lin Yu's face was cold and he slowly took a sip of the strong tea in his hand, "Have he had such great ability?"
Fang Yizhi said hatefully: "No, Ruan Dacheng has been operating in Nanjing for many years, and has both money, power and reputation. Three-tenths of the brothel in Nanjing are his Ruan family's industries. In addition, he also operates pawn shops, grocery shops, medicinal materials shops and other industries...
If a store threatens the Ruan family's business, Ruan Dacheng will send someone to the door to make trouble, threaten and induce people, either forcing the other party to move or annex it.
If there is a new girl in a brothel, it must be presented to Ruan Dacheng for inspection first. Otherwise, this girl would not have the intention to stay in Nanjing, and the brothel would have to be closed. It is said that Ruan Dacheng had already suffered dozens of lives on his hands."
"Tsk tsk... It turns out that people are not good at appearance. It seems that I underestimate Ruan Dacheng!" Lin Yu held the tea bowl in both hands, thinking about how to pick up Hou Fangyu and his brother-in-law from the Ruan family?
Chen Zhenhui sighed and said, "Although Ma Shiying is now the chief minister of the cabinet, he has to sell Ruan Dacheng a little bit. Yingtianwei now has only more than 10,000 soldiers, and the market hooligans, gangsters, and dandy evil young men in Ruan Dacheng's hands are probably not less than 10,000."
Jiang Ruhua personally poured tea for the prescription, and Chen and the others said: "Don't worry, both of you, my husband has sent someone to take a post to Ruan's mansion to ask for someone. As an official in the same dynasty, I think Ruan Dacheng should give him some thin face."
Chen Zhenhui looked worried: "Young Master Jiang is General Lin's brother-in-law and his nephew of Shigemen. Ruan Dacheng naturally won't make things difficult for him. It's hard to say that Brother Hou is, I'm afraid that the Ruan father and son may not be willing to let him go out easily."
"Why?" Lin Yu turned the tea bowl in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "He Ruan Dacheng dares to set up a private court, can he ignore human life?"
Fang Yizhi explained: "Last winter, Ruan Dacheng used the palace to recruit Li Xiangjun, the concubine of the famous general Hou brother, to join the list. The Hou brother was unwilling to accept it and hid her concubine. Ruan Dacheng went to Dali Temple to sue the Hou brothers for resisting the order. He is still a fugitive. Now that he is in the hands of the Ruan father and son, how can he let him out easily?"
"Don't worry, even if Ruan's mansion is a tiger's den, I, Lin Zhenjiang, will take out Mr. Hou!"
Lin Yu slapped the table and said firmly, "Since Hou Fangyu is my man, who dares to make things difficult for him? First ask my armored car if he agrees?"
Li Wei came to Ruan Mansion with Lin Yu's post. After being scolded a few times, he submitted a post: "My master is the new General Huaiyuan Lin Zhenjiang. If you have a post to Mr. Ruan, please give it to him."
The housekeeper of Ruan Mansion yawned and took the post and looked at it, "Wait, I'll go and see if the master is asleep?"
Feeling Ma Shiying's dissatisfaction, Ruan Dacheng felt a little nervous. He drank a few more cups in the palace. After arriving at home, he was ready to go to bed without even taking a shower. However, he heard that someone came to ask for someone with a post from "General Huaiyuan".
Ruan Dacheng put on a long gown, and after reading the post, he sent someone to "Nuanchun Pavilion" to find his son Ruan Xiaocheng, who was flying in Shuang/Flying: "Just just capture Hou Fangyu, why did you catch Lin Zhenjiang's brother-in-law?"
Ruan Xiaocheng shook his folding fan and looked disapproving: "This kid meddled with other people's business and didn't teach him a lesson. I don't know how many eyes Mr. Ma's eyes!"
"Let this Jiang Jibang be released and Hou Fangyu stayed!" Ruan Dacheng waved impatiently.
Ruan Xiaocheng looked disdainful: "What? Could it be that my father is still afraid that Lin Zhenjiang will not succeed?"
Ruan Dacheng sighed depressedly: "Lin Zhenjiang has just defeated Jiannu, and today he has offered treasures and won favor. General Huaiyuan, who was named the third-ranked rank, is in the limelight. What's more, there is a Shi Kefa standing behind him, so we should not offend them."
Ruan Xiaocheng had no choice but to admit defeat and ordered his dog to put Jiang Jibang in the water prison and Zhang Daniu, who was injured in the dungeon, leaving only the Qin criminal Hou Fangyu, and send him to Dali Temple tomorrow.
The Dali Temple Minister Deng Guantian and Ruan Dacheng had a secret relationship, and Hou Fangyu was indeed an imperial criminal who disobeyed the imperial edict. In this way, he was not afraid of Lin Yu's attack on the charges, and even if he was in the Golden Palace, he was not afraid of him!
Although his limbs were swollen in the water prison, Jiang Jibang was very loyal when he heard that he had only let himself go: "Are you afraid of the soft insects raised by the bitch? Isn't I a greedy person who gave up my brother and ran for his own life? I have to let them go together, otherwise my brother-in-law will come to flatten your Ruan Mansion tonight!"
The dog-legged man returned to Ruan Xiaocheng. Ruan Xiaocheng was furious when he heard this: "If you give shameless things, just let him soak in the water. I don't believe that Lin Zhenjiang can have three heads and six arms?"
