The living room of the Hongdou Pavilion is elegant and unique. On the plaque in the middle is the four big words "Ru Shi I Wen" handwritten by the boss of Donglin Qianyi, and named this court "I Wen Hall".

After the servant presented the tea, Lin Yu took a sip and said slowly: "I will enter the palace by orders tonight. I have been approved by Your Majesty. I will select ten palace maids from the palace tomorrow..."

"ah?"

Qian Qianyi almost choked by tea. What is this operation?

Lin Yu explained to Jiang Ruhua again: "I presented a treasure to Your Majesty. I wanted to ask for some military pay to return to Yangzhou, but Your Majesty insisted on adding me to the third-rank General Zhaoyong, who was afraid that I would not agree, decided to reward me with ten palace maids..."

“Um…”

Qian Qianyi didn't want to speak anymore.

Damn, a young man under 20 years old, climbed from the sixth-rank deputy guard to the third-rank General Zhaoyong position in just a few days. This makes people unable to survive?

I have lived for sixty years and have only reached the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites. Have you been on par with me in just a few days?

Thinking of this, Qian Qianyi felt mixed feelings and felt quite uncomfortable.

"Of course, it's enough to have a wife accompany me. Husband, I will only bring Miss Xiangjun out and let her reunite with Mr. Hou. It's better not to have other palace maids." Lin Yu took a sip of tea and tested Jiang Ruhua quietly.

Jiang Ruhua smiled and said, "You are so bad about this, so why are you a petty person? Miss Xiangjun naturally wants to rescue you, and other palace maids must accept it. We will move out of our uncle's mansion in the future, and there are still maids in the family. If you have a woman you like, you will take a concubine, and I will never say anything."

Qian Qianyi praised: "Miss Jiang is so well-educated. General Lin married a virtuous supporter!"

Liu Rushi clasped his hands together and prayed for Li Xiangjun: "That's great, Sister Xiangjun can finally reunite with Mr. Hou. I guess she has been living in the palace for the past six months, right?"

Fang Yizhi, who was drinking tea at the next round, asked: "Ruan Dacheng and his son are arrogant and domineering, and are arrogant. How did he be willing to release the Fangyu brothers?"

"With General Lin and Shigemen's face, how could Ruan Dacheng not consider it?" Chen Zhenhui next to him picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, guessing.

Lin Yu smiled: "Ruan Dacheng, an old dog, thought he had a hand covering the sky, so where would he be willing to release people? I used force to rescue people, and my entourage even accidentally beat Ruan Dacheng's son to death."

"Blame Ruan Dacheng's son to death?"

This news was a thunderbolt for Qian Qianyi. He was both surprised and ecstatic. Unexpectedly, the arrogant and domineering Ruan Dacheng would have this day. Lin Zhenjiang is really amazing. Could it be that you are the Raptor crossing the river?

Qian Qianyi was four or five years older than Ruan Dacheng, and his qualifications were much older than Ruan Dacheng. As an important figure in the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi became the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites during the Chongzhen period. However, in the tenth year of Chongzhen, he was dismissed from office and expelled from the capital because he offended the cabinet chief Wen Tiren.

However, Qian Qianyi was a big landlord. His family was rich and land. After returning to his hometown in Jiangsu, he didn't have to worry about food and drink. He wrote poems and essays every day, walked his dogs and played with birds, and later married Liu Rushi, a famous prostitute in Qinhuai, and lived a happy life.

Just when Qian Qianyi thought he could only die of old age and never have a career in the countryside, the world suddenly changed. Li Zicheng led the Dashun army to conquer the capital, Chongzhen hanged himself in Coal Mountain, the Ming Dynasty lost half of the rivers and mountains, and Zhu Yousong ascended the throne in Nanjing.

After becoming emperor, Zhu Yousong appointed a large number of veterans of the previous dynasty to prove his legitimacy and raise his authority. Qian Qianyi was also among them and re-elected as Minister of Rites.

In Qian Qianyi's bones, he looked down on Ruan Dacheng, a rogue literati who was both black and white. He was only able to become a minister of officials during the Chongzhen period. He was not a seventh-rank official, so how could he be ranked alongside him?

But Ruan Dacheng has been in Nanjing for more than ten years and is deeply rooted. He has a large group of maids and minions under his command. Qian Qianyi can't afford to offend him, so he can only swallow his anger.

Qian Qianyi hated Ruan Dacheng and was afraid. He hated him for treating the Donglin Party with ruthlessness and massacred many of his disciples. He was also afraid that he would turn against others one day and join forces with Ma Shiying to put himself in a state of disgrace.

Therefore, Jiang Ruhua came to the mansion late at night to ask for help. Qian Qianyi was both happy and conflicted. He was happy that he had hope to climb the big tree of Shi Kefa, and the contradiction was that if he helped Lin Yu offend Ruan Dacheng again.

Just when Qian Qianyi was in a dilemma, Lin Yu came to visit, and he didn't expect that this guy was promoted to another level and even killed Ruan Dacheng's son to death. This... is really awesome for young people. Is Nanjing going to change the world?

Lin Yu turned the tea bowl in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Ruan Xiaocheng set up a private prison and imprisoned innocent people. My aide Hou Fangyu and my brother-in-law Jiang Jibang were imprisoned in the water prison. I came to visit and refused to see him. I rushed into Ruan's mansion in anger. Ruan Xiaocheng raised a musket and wanted to assassinate me, but was shot dead by my guard Li Wei and died on the spot."

"Ruan Dacheng has only this son, so I'm afraid he won't give up." Qian Qianyi stroked his beard and fell into deep thoughts.

Lin Yu sneered: "The Ming Dynasty's laws are brilliant, and I will abide by the law. Why do you fear it? Ruan Dacheng did evil in Nanjing, bullying men and women, killing innocent scholars indiscriminately, and forcing Zuo Liangyu to rebel. Such evil deeds will sooner or later be impeached to him."

Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi, was very excited and bowed together, saying, "I am willing to serve the generals in the work of serving the general."

Qian Qianyi touched his beard and said, "General Lin, Ma, Ruan is a big trend. Now is not the time to tear off your face. I advise you to avoid the edge for the time being."

"I naturally know this. When I hold 100,000 soldiers in the future, I will clear my lord!" Lin Yu showed Qian Qianyi his revenge without hesitation, and tried to bring the Donglin Party to support him.

Although the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party was to blame, and even one of the culprits, Lin Yu is now just a bachelor commander, with no money, no soldiers, no status, and no big waves with weapons alone. If he could use the Donglin Party, it would be a stopgap.

After another half an hour, the servant who went out to inquire came to report: "Master Qi, the villain went to Ruan's house to inquire. Their family was ready to have funeral, saying that Mr. Ruan died of sudden illness."

Qian Qianyi was shocked, but he didn't expect Ruan Dacheng to swallow this. After thinking about it, he guessed the reasons through seven or eight out of ten.

"General Lin and Ruan Dacheng are temporarily enduring and unable to make any moves, they should be careful about such villains who are vindictive and beware of hidden arrows." Qian Qianyi took a sip of tea and reminded with kindness.

Lin Yu stood up and said, "It's getting late. Lord Qian is going to rest early. Tomorrow I will drive the iron-armored car into the Forbidden City to worship and present it to the emperor!"

Qian Qianyi and his wife stood up and gave him a respectful look. When they passed by a pool, Lin Yu suddenly stopped and bent down and reached into the water: "This water is so cold, so cold!"

Qian Qianyi was a little puzzled, and reached in to test it out, and said in surprise: "It's May, this water... isn't it cold? Could it be that General Lin is cold?"

Lin Yu suddenly scratched his scalp again: "Oh... my scalp is itchy, it's so itchy!"

Although Qian Qianyi was surprised, he didn't ask much and said with a smile: "General Lin will go back to the inn to take a shower."

After saying goodbye to Qian Qianyi, Lin Yu took his wife Jiang Ruhua's maid Xier back to the inn, and Chen Zhenhui and Zhizhi returned home.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when I returned to the inn. In order to avoid messing with the servants, Jiang Ruhua said: "I will share the same bed with my husband today? However... the filial piety period has not come, so my husband must not surpass the courtesy."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, my wife is not an impatient person."

Jiang Ruhua still believes in Lin Yu's character very much. She has never been careless since her father passed away and is absolutely a gentleman.

Xier put the bed down and stepped down. Lin Yu and his wife lie down with their clothes, sleeping together in the same bed.

Lin Yu was so itchy when he was sleeping with such a beautiful woman beside him, but after making an agreement just now, he didn't want to make Jiang Ruhua unhappy, so he closed his eyes and counted the sheep silently, and was confused and fell asleep at some point.

When I woke up, it was bright.

Jiang Ruhua had already finished washing up and asked Lin Yu to get up: "Husband, get up quickly and have a meal. I will have to come to the palace to see the saint later."

After Lin Yu finished washing up, he ate some food briefly, and put on his official uniform and hurried out of the inn.

Xier was about to come to clean up the bed for Lin Yu and his wife, but was stopped by Jiang Ruhua: "I can just clean up by myself, you don't have to worry about it..."

"Why do you think that Miss does this miscellaneous work? Do you think Xier is not as smart as Sister Little Rabbit?" Xier looked aggrieved and almost cried.

Jiang Ruhua suddenly blushed and pushed Xier out of the room without saying a word: "You are still young, and some things are not suitable to see, be obedient..."
