"Oh, it seems that the wise nephew is really like a dragon and a phoenix. Even the Taizu of the past may not be as talented as the wise nephew now! This is a good thing and a bad thing. Mu Xiu is better than Lin Feng.

Destroy it, your talent is very high, I'm afraid you will encounter a lot of trouble in the future."

Lin Ruhai looked at the promising young man in front of him, thinking that Zhao Ning would definitely be better than him in the future, so he persuaded him: "However, this matter is a matter of blessing and misfortune. If you can survive it, then even if it is

In the past, Taizu might not be as powerful and dashing as you."

After listening to Lin Ruhai's words, Zhao Ning did not dare to be proud, and said with a smile: "I've said it before, I just rose up by accident, I can't be considered a truly powerful person."

After listening to Zhao Ning's words, Lin Ruhai was silent for a moment and then said: "I heard that you arrested a lot of spies from our Lin Mansion. Is this true?"

Zhao Ning nodded: "It is indeed true. I have ordered people to investigate those spies. They are people sent by the salt merchants. It seems that the poisoning matter has an inescapable relationship with them."

Lin Ruhai looked up at the bright moon emerging in the sky, frowned and said: "Those salt merchants are powerful in the local area. They have money, people, and more importantly, they have backers behind them!"

Zhao Ning smiled calmly: "Who's backer can be as big as the imperial court's fist? If they really had the ability to compete with the imperial court, then the country would not be what it is now."

The more profound and unpredictable the top masters are, the less they have any so-called awe for the imperial court.

Just like a scholar, the more he studies, the more he opposes the imperial court.

Because the more they study, the more capable they are, and the greater their ambitions become.

Expanded ambition will give birth to a kind of belief that princes and generals will be contented with each other.

His mind is like that of the Monkey King who is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace. He may not be able to sit in the position of the Jade Emperor.

Therefore, Zhao Ning did not have much respect for the emperor in his heart.

Although Lin Ruhai was a loyal minister loyal to the emperor, he didn't say much.

There are many people in this world who are more arrogant than Zhao Ning, and those people don’t have much respect for the emperor.

What's more, the changes of dynasties in the past dynasties all tell all living beings the principle of emperors taking turns.

Lin Ruhai looked at Zhao Ning and asked: "If you were me, what would you choose to do?"

Zhao Ning said with a smile: "Send a memorial to His Majesty and let the soldiers of the imperial court raid the salt merchants' homes and exterminate their clans."

After listening to Zhao Ning's words, he was quite cruel and decisive.

To confiscate a family and exterminate a clan is a matter of bloodshed, but in Zhao Ning's mouth, it was so lighthearted, as if it was just a simple matter of eating and drinking, which shows how cruel Zhao Ning is.

Lin Ruhai readily accepted this suggestion.

After all, these salt merchants almost poisoned Lin Ruhai to death.

If Lin Ruhai didn't say a word and didn't return the favor, wouldn't it mean that Lin Ruhai was a coward?

Anyone who can sit in Lin Ruhai's position is unlikely to be the kind of soft-hearted person who is nothing.

The Holy Mother had no room to survive in the sea of ​​officials within the imperial court.

To become an official in the dynasty, one must be ruthless and ruthless to gain a foothold.

Otherwise, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to want to get promoted and make a fortune.

The next moment, Lin Ruhai nodded and left directly.

Zhao Ning looked at Lin Ruhai leaving and felt a little incredible. He couldn't figure out what Lin Ruhai was thinking.

Before, Zhao Ning thought that Lin Ruhai would talk to him about Lin Daiyu today, but now it seems that is not the case.

Zhao Ning couldn't help but think: "As expected of a court official who can sit in the position of Salt Patrol Censor, he is really calm."

It was also at this time that Zhao Ning realized that these human beings were far more intelligent and capable than the girls in Rongguo Mansion.

Compared with these people, the girls in Rongguo Mansion are completely different. The level of gaming and the level of thinking are far from the same channel.

While Zhao Ning was deep in thought, suddenly a person walked over from a distance.

Lin Daiyu walked out from behind the rocks in the rockery, looked at Zhao Ning in front of her, and asked quickly: "Brother Ning, did my father just mention what happened between the two of us?"

After listening to Lin Daiyu's words, Zhao Ning also broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, feeling that this matter was fatal.

However, Zhao Ning still truthfully recounted the exchange between him and Lin Ruhai to Lin Daiyu.

After listening to Zhao Ning's words, a look of surprise appeared on Lin Daiyu's face. It seemed that she had never thought that Lin Ruhai would specifically call Zhao Ning over and just ask a few questions.

For a while, even Lin Daiyu couldn't figure out what Lin Ruhai was thinking.

After a brief analysis, Zhao Ning said: "Your father seems to be testing me."

"It should be." Lin Daiyu also knew her father Lin Ruhai. If Lin Ruhai was really opposed to this matter, it would be impossible for him to calmly invite Zhao Ning out to visit the garden.

Then Lin Daiyu looked at Zhao Ning and said: "Comparing the Grand View Garden here and the Grand View Garden in Rongguo Mansion, who do you think is better?"

Zhao Ning was slightly startled when he heard this, and smiled bitterly: "Each has its own merits! The Grand View Garden in Rongguo Mansion is more extravagant and wasteful, showing the luxurious style of the aristocracy, while the Grand View Garden in Lin Mansion is simple and plain, with an added sense of the rules and nature of heaven.

”

Lin Daiyu then nodded: "You know me! There is very little extravagance in our Jiangnan area. Even the courtyards built are mostly based on the concept of natural harmony between man and nature. Therefore, they are far inferior to the extravagance of Rongguo Mansion.

, but it is not entirely without merit."

While Lin Daiyu and Zhao Ning were explaining the Lin Mansion's garden, several maids in the distance were also snickering and looking at the two people.

Zicuckoo looked at Lin Daiyu and Zhao Ning with a smile and said with a smile: "Look, Mr. Ning and our young lady are really a pair of strangers."

Xue Yan also smiled and said: "Who says it's not the case? Talented men and beautiful women, this has been like this since ancient times."

At this moment, there were other maids nearby who said: "It's a pity, it's a pity that the young master already has a wife. Otherwise, our young lady can also be the eldest lady."

Zijuan shook her head: "Most things in the world are so unsatisfactory. If everything went as planned, the world would be heaven, not the world where black and white are reversed."

Xue Yan also nodded: "His eldest wife has a good temper, so she shouldn't mind this matter. What's more, it's not certain who will be able to defeat whom. What is the identity of our young lady? That's it.
