The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Emperor Xinglong shook his head slowly with a serious expression, took a deep breath and sighed softly.

It is true that a country needs good generals in times of crisis and loyal ministers in times of turmoil!

Although Dai Quan's words were confusing, Emperor Xinglong still saw the core problem at a glance.

Lin Ruhai sent his daughter and eight million taels of salt tax silver to the capital.

How could this be considered following the trend? It was clear that Lord Lin had already sensed the crisis in Yangzhou and had sent his daughter to the capital to escape it!

Moreover, after the King of Chu returned to the capital, he reported that the salt tax convoy was blocked at the gate of Yangzhou that day.

Only after they produced some kind of pass could the salt tax money be safely transported out of Yangzhou.

Even Emperor Xinglong felt a lingering fear when he heard it.

If Lin Ruhai had not compromised, I'm afraid these eight million taels of silver would have been difficult to get out of Yangzhou City!

Lin Ruhai was often criticized in the court for this matter.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xinglong sighed with emotion.

"Lord Lin, while serving in Yangzhou, compromised at every turn for the sake of the imperial court's salt tax."

"Now that the rebels have shown their true colors, I wonder how Lord Lin is doing now?"

Dai Quan listened to Emperor Xinglong's sigh and did not dare to answer.

Because the Shadow Division sent to Yangzhou has not yet sent back any valuable intelligence.

Emperor Xinglong was silent for a long time and sighed helplessly.

Suddenly he thought of something and looked at Dai and asked,

"I heard that Lord Lin only has one daughter, right?"

Dai Quan instantly understood Emperor Xinglong's thoughts, thought for a moment, and then bowed slightly and said,

"Your Majesty is wise! Lord Lin is devoted to his country and has only this one beloved daughter."

"But according to the information gathered by the people below, Miss Lin seems to have had a congenital deficiency since childhood."

"Lord Lin is also worried about this."

Emperor Xinglong nodded upon hearing this.

"Oh, that's a pity!"

Then he said to Dai Quan,

"I hereby declare that since Lord Lin is loyal and brave, his daughter will be granted the title of Leping County Lady, and will be granted all necessary clothing and a fief of 100 households. The Guanglu Temple will prepare all her dowry!"

"Also, after the Lord of Leping County arrived in Beijing, he ordered the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to go to Rongguo Mansion to treat him."

Dai Quan's expression straightened up, and he bowed respectfully to receive the order.

"Yes! I obey your command!"

"Your Majesty is so kind and compassionate. If Lord Lin knew, he would surely burst into tears of gratitude!"

"Haha! You're just a dog that can talk!"

"I just don't want to disappoint such a loyal minister!"

Emperor Xinglong smiled with a complicated expression and shook his head.

Judging from the situation in Yangzhou, Yangzhou City is probably in imminent danger.

Lin Ruhai devoted all his energy to the eight million taels of salt tax.

No matter what happens afterwards,

I'm afraid the court will inevitably bring up the connection between Lin Ruhai and Qingfeng Village when he transported the silver out of the city.

Emperor Xinglong did this because Lin Ruhai was loyal to the emperor and his country.

While I felt emotional, I also felt a bit guilty.

Therefore, they intended to protect Lin Ruhai's descendants in advance.

To prevent him from suffering unnecessary involvement in the capital.

If Lin Ruhai really had an unfortunate event,

I have been his subject for a long time, so this is not in vain!

With a sigh, Emperor Xinglong shook his head.

He was just about to reach out to pick up the pen to review the memorials.

But at this moment,

Suddenly, a eunuch came to the palace gate quickly.

He also held a secret report in his hand.

Emperor Xinglong's expression changed slightly when he saw this.

He turned his head and glanced at Dai Quan.

The smile on Dai Quan's face gradually faded. He bowed to Emperor Xinglong and hurried to the door of the hall.

He took the secret report from the eunuch and waved him away.

After opening the secret report,

Suddenly, Dai Quan was so shocked that his mouth opened into an O shape.

Emperor Xinglong frowned and looked at Dai Quan and asked,

"What happened?"

Dai Quan was shocked and subconsciously hid the secret report behind him.

His face was a little frightened but he tried to hide it with a smile. He looked at Emperor Xinglong and shook his head.

"No, no, it's nothing, your Majesty, don't worry."

Emperor Xinglong naturally did not believe what Dai Quan said, and his eyes narrowed.
