The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Jia Lian joined a new force, and the thieves were frustrated, like a sharp knife stabbing in oil, so they were invincible in front of only a quarter of an hour, and the thieves were put out. He arrested an officer and soldier, "Your general soldier is dead Rebellion or betrayal?"

"You just betrayed!" A voice came from behind the leader, "I almost met the King of Hell!"

Jia Lian took a closer look and saw a man with hanging hands and blood oozing from both sides sitting on a wooden board and being carried out.

"Are you Liang Huan, the commander-in-chief of Huaiyang Town?"

"I mean, you are that baby soldier?"

This man was rude, so Jia Lian didn't get off his horse, so he was so condescending, "What's going on? I'm going to go to disaster relief! Why is this kind of thing on the table? You'd better tell me something useful."

The general soldier glanced at Jia Lian and felt that he couldn't be rough, so he could only look up at him like this, "Lord Bingxian, if you want to know the inside story, please copy Jiang Biehe's house immediately, or let him run away and cause harm endless!"

"Jiang Biehe?" Jia Lian felt that this person was familiar, "This person has pledged [*] taels of silver today, what happened to you?"

Liang Zongbing gritted his teeth and said, "I'm doing this because of what he has given me. The son of a bitch Jia Lian interrupted: "Okay, this officer, don't listen to your complaints, just make a brief point, what did he do?"

Liang Zongbing sighed in his heart, "He is a rebel, he wants to kill me, and takes the opportunity to make trouble in the city. But I still escaped." It's simple enough. Jia frowned and said, "He's not a good salt merchant? Why rebel?"

Liang Zongbing said: "Because I can't be a salt merchant, I feel that the court deliberately targeted his family."

Jia Lian looked at him, "Can you still move? Let's go together?"

Liang Zongbing sighed: "I can't go."

"Alright then, lend me your subordinates to use!" Jia Lian could only speak to him, and he had already ordered Liang Huan's subordinates to gather hundreds of people, temporarily led by a general, and follow him to raid the house .

At this time, the arson everywhere had been put out gradually, and most of the thieves who had fled were killed.

Jia Lian surrounded Jiang Biehe's house.

This house is magnificent and magnificent, and the pavilions and pavilions inside can be seen from the outside. It is endless. Compared with the Rongguo Mansion, it is not much different. There are basically no big fish in it except for the little girls who are chaotic and rambunctious.

What was found were only some odds and ends, and the total amount of gold and silver was no more than [*] taels.

His family property has basically been transferred to this guy!

"Dig three feet in the ground, and find him too!"

Jia is not interested in whether Jiang Biehe ran or not, but it is not right if his family property is gone!

There must be a secret way! Otherwise, there will be no way that the people in front of you will not know it, and you will leave without knowing it. Thousands of people have begun to dig through, and the old mahogany and sandalwood have been nailed to tatters. It's a pity that the magnetic instrument shatters the sins and can't care about it.

Fortunately, the effort paid off, and a secret path was found under the Buddha statue in the back hall.

Following the secret road, Jia can go directly out of the city, cross the river to the north, search and follow along the way, and even catch up to Daming Temple!

The rain became heavier and the sky became darker. Jia knocked on the temple door.

A newly tickled small head came out.

Jia Heshi said, "Little Master, it's getting late, can I stay here for one night?"

Xiaotou Tuo looked at the soldier behind Jia Lian who was holding a knife and making a stick, and refused: "The temple..."

Jia Lian didn't wait for him to finish, then pushed him away, "Okay, don't disturb the masters to rest, let's take it easy."

Jia Rang waited for a moment to understand, and tied the little head Tuo to his mouth, and threw it into the doorman.

Next, the original 3.3 silent Buddhist sect pierced his eyes with swords, lights, swords and shadows, screaming and screaming in his ears, just like the hell of Avici.

"Amitabha!" Jia Lian respectfully bowed to the Buddha in the Mahavira Hall.

Not only to worship him, but also to catch the traitorous party and capture him in one net.I still want to worship him, and I recovered a total of [*] taels of stolen silver. Although there is still a lot of difference from what I expected, this disaster relief is enough. Jiang Biehe is really a good person!

Just a small question: "Why did you rebel? Tired of having a good time? Want to change to a more exciting way of life?"

At this time, Jiang Biehe was beaten with a lame leg, and sat on the ground, laughing: "Since ancient times, I have been a king and defeated a bandit. Stop talking nonsense.

Jia Lian shook her head, "Why don't you want to give me an answer? I should put the knife on the neck of your three-year-old son and ten-year-old daughter."

Chapter [*] Compromise with no choice Jia Lian decides to give Jiang Biehe a chance to save his family "You made such a big mistake, you should understand that what awaits you should be the severe punishment of the court law. Not only did all the family property be confiscated If you want to annihilate the nine clans, that is, your family surnamed Jiang will be annihilated."

Jia Lian paused for a while, and saw Jiang Biehe moved a little, if he still dismissed it, there would be nothing to say. Fortunately, Jiang Biehe instinctively made the right choice.

So, Jia asked Jia Rang to wait until he went out, and then continued; "Perhaps, we can make a small deal. If you answer a question, I'll leave you alone, okay? Bi Yi, I'll pay more at that time. Write a sentence that a certain son or daughter of Jiang Ni was killed or committed suicide, that is just a matter of hand.”

Jiang Biehe had no choice but to come this far, and it wasn't a real intention. He was different from the people in the north.

He moved his legs with difficulty so that he could sit upright.

"How can I trust you?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "I don't need to make you believe. But what else can you do except believe in me? If you refuse, you are denying your children the chance to live! Don't you give it a try? Just be you The last gamble of my life!"

Jiang Biehe was silent for a while, before he said, "Your first question. 21"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "This is the correct way to talk. I'm really curious about your rebellion."

Jiang Biehe let out a long sigh, and his mouth was full of hatred. Do you think I would like it?You corrupt officials!"

Jia Lian hurriedly restrained his meaningless accusations, "Let's focus on the main point, we don't have long to listen to your nonsense!"

Jiang Biehe sneered: "So, do you know how a salt merchant like us developed?"

Jia Lian nodded, "Gangyanzhi, I know a little bit, you are only your business."

Jiang Biehe said, "My Jiang family has been the second of the Huaiyan General Merchant since the emperor's army raised his army. Naturally, it has gathered a huge amount of wealth. This naturally aroused the special attention of the court. All kinds of measures, as pigs and sheep, we all have to be filial. You know, the last inspector of salt, a small Qingpao official, dared to extort [*] taels of silver from me the first day he took office. The rest can be imagined know."

Jia Lian said with contempt: "You are so angry about this? In the end, every two taels of silver you earn is a privilege given to you by the imperial court. Back then, you acquired a huge amount of wealth that you shouldn't have at a very low price. , Naturally, you have to bear these costs. There is no free lunch in the world. Your grandfather and father didn't care about it, can't you bear it when you come here?"

Jiang Biehe said with a smile: "What I'm going to say next, do you have the courage to listen to me?"

Jia Lian was sitting attentively, "If you talk nonsense, I will listen."

Jiang Biehe said: "If it is a normal year, as long as the imperial court still sends people to ask for money, I will be content with it, which means that I will be fine. But since Prince Yizhong" he glanced at Jia Lian, "the new emperor ascended the throne, The northern expedition, the western expedition, the southern expedition, and the large-scale construction of the Ligong annex, which one does not require money? Once a little eunuch opened his mouth and was worth one million, I deserved it a little slower, and he was full of impatience. If only the emperor needs to be provided, then I just tried my best to maintain it, but I hate that King Zhongshun always pretends to be a prince and threatens Prince Yizhong with his old affairs. Over the years, I have extorted no less than two million taels from Shan Cong. Especially if it is not enough, we have to implement the vote and salt method. This is not what we want. Kill them all?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "At most, I quit being a salt trader, and I have made so much money that it is enough to return to my hometown to be a landlord."

Some people in the court will not stop unless they squeeze me dry, and they will not agree with Chaojiang Biehe, "At first, I thought so too. But some people did not allow Jia Lian to interrupt: "Who are you in the court? Even if you don't say it, I can guess that you only go into their business. "

Jiang Biehe is now going out of his way, "They are the remnants of the previous dynasty who claimed to overthrow the imperial court and rebuild the Ming Dynasty."

Jia Lian has an absurd feeling that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is gone, and there are still people who have regained their sight? "Don't tell me they are the safflower society of heaven and earth?"

Jiang Biehe gave him a strange look, "They call themselves the remnants of the previous dynasty, and they don't eat Zhou millet, so they are called Buzhouhui. Back then, my father-in-law wanted them to help, so..."

The following things are self-evident. Because of the deep entanglement, they will never allow someone from Jiang to sabotage the plan, "It was you or them who attacked Liang Zongbing?"

Jiang Biehe laughed at himself: "I'm just a businessman, where does the energy come from? Liang Zongbing's concubine is their person. The original plan was to force Liang Zongbing to revolt, but unfortunately you, the military guard, suddenly brought troops back to Yangzhou and disrupted the chaos. They had no choice but to act in advance, but at the critical moment, whether it was intentional or really incompetent, the commander-in-chief escaped. At this moment, I plan to walk away and find a place to remain anonymous. What a pity!"

So that's the case? Jia Lian doesn't feel a pity at all, and he has helped him a lot!

Jiang Biehe smiled and said, "Master Jia, don't you think it's a little strange that the relief money has not arrived yet?"

Jia Lian was terrified. Did they plan to use natural disasters to start a rebellion from the beginning? Does the court include those who recommended him?

He laughed: "You can choose someone to live."

Jiang Biehe lost his voice, "Please let your lord let the jade live."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Your son looks so cute with pink makeup and jade! Before leaving Beijing, my wife was also pregnant. She will give birth in two months, maybe a daughter."

After saying that, he immediately asked the old servant of the Jiang family to carry Jiang Biehe's son out, and sent him out of Daming Temple in his dim eyes.

He wiped his tears and hurriedly said: "What else do you have to ask, the villain knows everything, and there is nothing to say.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I like you very much now! Then let's continue to talk, talk about where your remaining property is hidden, talk about who are the leaders of that unscheduled meeting, where are you now? What are the plans? You know that they have already done things in Huaibei, what are they going to do next? North, west or south?"

Jiang Biehe asked, "Sir 650, is this a question for you?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Do you have so many children?"

Jiang Biehe hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Next, Jiang Biehe carefully handed over the organization that was not a weekly meeting. The leader was a guy who claimed to be surnamed Zhu. The Huaibei rebels are now leading the leader Bai Taishi, and the planner in Yangzhou is called Huang Taiwei. Jiangnan anyway, "It seems that they are going south after all." After sending Jiang Biehe's sons and daughters away, Jia turned around and said with a smile: "The last question, you know the list of officials who are closely related to you. What! You have a concubine pregnant, aren't you?"

Jiang Biehe had no choice.

Jia Lian took this dense list and put it in her arms. I need to verify the authenticity of the list, so I told you in advance that if your list is wrong, I will immediately execute her.You scolded me underground for not believing what I said. Jiang Biehe nodded quickly, "There is absolutely nothing wrong. They are my old relationship for many years. They have always only recognized tokens, not people." He handed the jade pendant in his hand to Jia chain, "My lord, I will hand over everything, and I must go back and regret it!"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Don't worry! God and Buddha are above, how can I deceive the sky?"

Just when Jia Lian said these words, it was pitch black outside Daming Temple. The heavy rain washed away the tragedy that happened here just now, and quickly covered up everything. Jia Lian didn't believe in private retribution, but he was soft-hearted, Jiang Biehe's daughter would survive after all. down.

Chapter [*] What you said is the real Daming Palace. There are two different memorials on the emperor's imperial case.

"What do you think?" A few ministers stood below.

"Your Majesty, this minister thinks that we should discuss the crime of Huaiyang's military preparations and supervise the crime of the censor Jia Lian!" There are always people who don't like Jia Lian, "He was in charge of disaster relief, but he drove the victims to Huaibei, so that the resettlement was not enough, causing a catastrophe. should be punished!"

"Extremely absurd!" Another minister played: "From the day Jia Lian received the decree, Xingye said that when he began to relieve the disaster, Ma Yu of Huaibei was still writing poems at the Cuiyan Tower in Tokyo. From this point of view, it should not be accommodated in time. ."

"It's always a fact that he drives out victims!"

"I'll tell you why it was expelled! Up to now, the grain and silver that the court promised Jia Lian's disaster relief are still floating on the Yangtze River! How can he feed so many people with nothing? What would you do?"

The emperor snorted coldly, "Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

A cold sweat dripped from the back of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing: "Your Majesty, the river water has soared, so that the ship overturned."

"Crack!" There was a sound, "Lian originally wanted to cure your crime, but Jia Lian has already figured out a reason for you. There is a chaotic party, deliberately delaying disaster relief, in order to incite the hungry people to make trouble.

Hu Shang was shocked when he saw the emperor opening the memorial again, "There is a chaotic party who has been planning to confuse the people for a long time, and a salt merchant Jiang, who should be hidden in it, advocates chaos in one fell swoop, trying to stir up Jiangnan." Tie Qing's face showed Smile: "I promised him half of the money before, but now this little guy is still showing his merit to me. Apart from disaster relief, he can also transport the [*] taels of your ships to the imperial court. People don't like it!

Hu Shang had a bitter look on his face, in comparison, the Huaibei Ma Censor was nothing!

Embezzling and selling disaster relief food, improper measures, causing upheaval, and now hiding in Xuzhou, not confessing guilt, but still dare to put the blame on Jia Lian.

I really hate that iron is not steel!

At this time, the most relaxed person in Daming Palace was Gan Jizong. He smiled and said, "I already knew that this kid can do it! Others regard it as a daunting job, and he has been used for life by him. As expected, he makes a fortune wherever he goes." ㄆ!"

There is also King Zhongshun with the most gloomy face, "Then the Jiang family is rich in the southeast, how can there be only such a small amount? Please order the emperor to thoroughly investigate the Jiang case!"

"Okay!" The emperor glanced at King Zhongshun: "No matter how fat he is, he can't stand repeated slaughter! Look!" He threw the memorial to King Zhongshun, "Do you think a thorough investigation is necessary?"

The royal family of Zhongshun immediately smiled and said, "Since the emperor said no, naturally no!"

The emperor said: "I have already ordered Jia Ji's disaster relief to be serious, and don't care about the rest!"

Sheng Jizong smiled and said, "Taoyuan belongs to Huaian, let Jia Lian go!"

The emperor joked: "If Jia Lian was your own son and nephew, would you actively recommend him to go here and there?"
