Since the emperor issued an order to ask Lin Ruhai to return to Beijing to report his duties, Lu Jianxian has never appeared again.

While this made the Jiang family feel relieved, they tried their best to meet all the needs of the Salt Administration, hoping that Lin Ruhai and the others would leave quickly.

Lin Ruhai's illness has completely improved. Although Lin Daiyu was a little regretful that she could not continue to walk around the world with her sword, her father's improvement and Gao Sheng still made her very happy.

Wang Xiao has always been indifferent. Yangzhou City is just a starting point for him.

Zijuan was also very happy. First of all, she was happy for Lin Daimei's father's improvement. Then she was happy for being able to return to Rongguo Mansion and be with so many sisters.

Only Jia Lian is really unhappy.

Yaxing was stolen and he didn't let go, and he was about to set off and return to the capital.

In desperation, Master Lian had no choice but to agree to buy the pearl shop at a price of 7,000 taels of silver.

He didn't give the money back to Wang Xiao because he thought that this was not enough at all, so he thought that he would use this as capital after returning to Beijing and then pay it back after making money.

Of course, this is just his own idea. The main reason is that he can't let go of so much silver in his hand.

Although poor second master Lian is a Chengjue from Rongguo Mansion, he has never obtained such a huge fortune.

When I bought a pearl shop before, it was a hot topic. I only realized what heartache means when the silver was spent.

As for whether Mr. Lian can spend money on business and pay off debts as he thought, it is really difficult based on his past actions.

Before leaving, Jia Lian had gone to find his lover.

Unfortunately, when the past was gone, there was already empty houses.

Wang Xiao, who learned about this, did not think that Jia Lian was saying goodbye affectionately, but might want to fire the farewell artillery fire.

With the Yangzhou salt merchants beating drums and firecrackers all the way, Lin Ruhai, the former salt inspector, finally took his family to the official ship to the north. They will return to the capital through the Grand Canal.

Although Yang Guang was scolded very badly by the literati, the Grand Canal he dug has indeed become a major transport artery that has benefited thousands of years.

Speaking of the celebrities who were so badly criticized in history, they basically made a difference. For example, the First Emperor who swept across Liuhe, opened Henan in the north, and expanded the three counties in the south.

Those who are desperately boasted by literati may not be good things they do. For example, those who rule the country behind the curtain, completely abolish Wang Anshi's reforms, and are praised by scholars as the Empress Dowager Gao of Yao and Shun among the girls.

Wang Xiao stood on the deck of the second floor of the official ship, looked at the Wanmin Umbrella, which was still beside Lin Ruhai, and asked with a smile, "This is Wanmin Umbrella, it's not good to just throw it away."

Lin Ruhai stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the salt merchants who were getting farther and farther away on the pier. "It was all given by the salt merchants, and Lin disdained."

"Don't be angry, Lord Lin."

Wang Xiao was also looking at the salt merchants who were celebrating each other, "Other families may not care about it, but since I have agreed with the Jiang family, I will naturally do it cleanly."

Lin Ruhai didn't say much, nodded slightly and walked into the cabin.

Wang Xiao stayed for a while and also entered the cabin. He went to find Lin Meimei.

Zijuan was nervously guarding the cabin door, afraid that someone would break in and say it was unclear.

And in the cabin, Wang Xiao said straight in, "Do you know how your mother and your brother passed away?"

That's right, Wang Xiao came to find Lin Meimei to explain the whole story to her.

Wang Xiao is not the kind of hero who does good deeds without leaving a name. Since he does good deeds, why not leave a name?

He just wanted to let Li Meimei know and let her bear this love.

Lin Daiyu's pretty face looked confused and said, "I'm sick."

"Not sick."

Wang Xiao shook his head, looked at her, and said word by word, "It was killed by someone."

‘Pick.’

The fan in Lin Daiyu's hand fell to the ground, her pretty face full of horror.

Wang Xiao said to himself, "The reason why Lord Lin doesn't tell you is because you are young and haven't even known these things. As for your enemy."

His eyes became more and more serious, "It's Jiang Chun."

After Little Sister Lin was silent for a while, her eyes gradually turned red and crystal tears slowly slid down.

For her age, she can indeed bear national hatred and family hatred.

Wang Xiao sighed and stood up, "The reason I told you this is because I will go back to Yangzhou City tonight."

He turned around and made a gesture to leave, but his legs were lifting was very slow.

As expected, Lin Meimei subconsciously grabbed his sleeve.

"Sir." Lin Daiyu's voice choked, "I'm going too."

Wang Xiao took her little hand and patted her gently, "You know my ability, don't worry about me."

Lin Meimei clenched her little hands very hard, and she cried and shook her head, "I want to go."

When Jia Min died, Lin had already remembered it.

No child doesn’t miss his mother. Lin Daimei lived carefully in Rongguo Mansion and shed tears until dawn. Isn’t it because her biological mother died early?

Now that I learned that Jia Min was killed, Lin Daiyu's mental excitement was simply indescribable.

Wang Xiao didn't say anything more, and if he said anything more, it would be too much or too little. The strength is just right now, so that Lin Daimei can enjoy it without being unable to bear it.

The official ship is moving slowly on the Grand Canal, and the checkpoints along the road will naturally not intercept the official ships with flags to collect money.

Logistics in the modern world are very developed, but it was a very deadly thing in ancient times.

The so-called price of a hundred miles means that the cost of transportation of goods is too high, and the further you go, the higher the price.

In the modern world, everyone is desperately trying to reduce prices because you can't sell them if the price is high.

But here, the price is sometimes no longer important, what is important is whether you can deliver the goods.

The Grand Canal bears a huge transportation volume every year, and is regarded as the most important cargo transportation channel of this era.

Almost everywhere along the way, they were reaching out toward this river. As long as they were floating on the surface of the river, they wanted to collect money.

Of course, no one dares to collect money from the official ship, and no one dares to collect the powerful ship.

During the Ming Dynasty, because of the great power of civil servants, there was even a trend of a clan in the late Han Dynasty. Therefore, no one dared to collect money with the identity of a scholar.

Fortunately, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in view of all aspects of the previous Ming Dynasty, not only completely abolished the system of low-class household registration, but also abolished the hidden rule that scholars do not have to pay taxes.

When he arrived at the current emperor, he simply created a gentry as a job to collect food, and simply brought out the selfish interests of scholars who sucked blood on the people.

It is precisely because of this that most of the officials in the court stood on the side of the Supreme Emperor and wanted to kill the emperor.

"This emperor is still a little courageous."

There are many capable emperors, after all, they all receive the most elite education. As long as they are not born with flaws in their nature, their basic level is above ordinary people.

However, few people with courage are brave. For example, those who are so brave that they are as strong as the First Emperor, and they have read through the historical books.

Most emperors just need to live a comfortable life.

It is really rare to be like Emperor Qin Shi, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Because such courage requires great pressure, especially after Confucianism takes power, it is extremely strong to suppress the imperial power. Without great courage, it is difficult to confront Confucianism.

Those who confront Confucianism and regain power for the people from scholars are all slandered as tyrants.

This is a Confucian nature that holds the right to speak, and it is also what they are best at doing.

In the middle of the night, Wang Xiao stood on the deck.

He looked up at the night sky and silently waited for Lin Meimei to appear.

Lin Daiyu did not disappoint him. A quarter of an hour later, Lin Daimei, who had changed into Ye Xing's clothes, stood behind him pretty.

"Really go?"

"Um."

Lin Daiyu's attitude was very firm.

She had gone to Lin Ruhai before and confirmed the authenticity of what Wang Xiao said.

Although Lin Ruhai said in a vague manner that this matter would be handled properly, Lin Daiyu was no longer Lin Meimei at this time.

Even if Lin Meimei knew about this, she would only shed tears until dawn and had no other way to do anything.

But now Lin Meimei has a good kung fu.

After following Wang Xiao out for so many times, her mentality has changed unknowingly.

In the past, there was no basis for reliance or backing, and besides looking carefully, only tears were left until dawn.

Now that her father is still here, she has become the second best in the world. The drastic change in her mentality is where she dares to come here and take revenge with Wang Xiao.

"Then let's go."

Wang Xiao nodded and set out to fly towards the shore.

Lin Daiyu has practiced light skills for several months and has achieved some success. She doesn’t need to be held by Wang Xiao, and she can fly ashore. After all, the Grand Canal is not as spacious as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

Of course, this is also because Wang Xiao is cautious enough.

After all, there are many people on the official boat. Wang Xiao’s words holding Lin Meimei will be damaged if someone sees them.
