Luoyang City
Not long after, Jia Heng re-entered this famous city in the Central Plains. He was greeted by Henan Prefecture Yin Meng Jinwen and Henan Guard Commander Zhou Dong, and led nearly a hundred Jinyi Prefecture guards into the city.
As for Daiyu, accompanied by her nanny and maid, she then moved into a manor previously purchased by Jia Heng and prepared to rest for the night. Because it was inconvenient to take a bath on the ship, as soon as Daiyu got off the ship, she ordered Zijuan to prepare hot water and other things for bathing. She sat by the window of the cabin where she lived, holding the bookcase and looking out the window. In the deep twilight, I was lost in thought.
At this time, Yuanyang came over with a smile on his face and said softly: "Girl, if you are tired, why not lie on the bed and rest for a while. I will call the girl when the hot water is ready."
Daiyu slowly put down the book in her hand. There was something new in her beautiful face, and she said softly: "I'm not too tired." She raised her eyes and looked at Yuanyang and said softly: "Sister Yuanyang, have you been to Luoyang before?"
Yuanyang shook his head and said softly: "I followed the old lady to Jinling, but I never stayed in Luoyang."
Daiyu was quiet for a moment and asked, "This house was purchased by Brother Heng when he was in Luoyang. It looks spacious and elegant." Xiren answered from the side: "I spent a lot of time in Luoyang. In time, a mansion has been prepared.”
Previously, Xiren accompanied Jia Heng to Henan and lived in Luoyang for a long time.
Daiyu seemed to say unintentionally: "I heard that Princess Xianning also went south with Brother Heng. Could it be that this mansion was purchased for her?"
Hearing this, Xiren said softly: "That's not true. It seems that the uncle bought the manor because he thought it would be convenient to come to Luoyang to live in the future." "Oh." Daiyu said softly, under her quiet and gentle eyebrows, Seems to be enlightened.
The night was low, the moon was hidden, the stars were appearing, the Milky Way was vast, lanterns had already been lit in the courtyard, and suddenly a cool summer night breeze blew from outside, and a joyful voice said, "The uncle is here."
While talking, I saw Jia Heng standing tall and tall, walking into the hall, and saw Dai Yu beside me reading a book with a candle. When I saw Jia Heng coming, I quickly got up to greet him, and asked softly: "Brother Heng, what are you eating?" Have you had dinner?"
Jia Heng sat down and said with a smile: "After eating, I drank some wine with the officials of Henan Prefecture. Has my sister eaten?"
When staying in Luoyang, it is impossible not to socialize with former generals, but also to ask about the current situation of provincial security.
Daiyu looked at the young man with a calm face in the Shu brocade round-neck robe, and said softly: "I just finished eating. Brother Heng, go take a bath first. It's quite hot today. Don't get heat stroke."
Because these days, apart from reading some documents in the cabin, Jia Heng is just telling stories with Daiyu, and he has already become familiar with it.
Jia Heng smiled and looked at the girl in a light blue background with folded branches and white plums embroidered with light gold piping, a double-breasted jacket, a white cross-collar coat and a green dress. She seemed to be a little more playful than before, and said softly: " I just took a shower, my sister doesn’t believe me, I don’t smell of alcohol on my body.”
Under Daiyu's swollen eyebrows, her starry eyes shone brightly, her cheeks were bright and charming, she covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Brother Heng is not drunk, but he talks drunken words."
Why does she smell so good? Is it possible to put it on your body and smell it? Well, this...
Jia Heng didn't take it seriously either. The two of them had more contact along the way, and Daiyu also made witty remarks in front of him. You can't always be polite when getting along with others. You have to return to your daily life eventually.
"Brother Heng, how many places should we stop along the way?" Daiyu left the desk and sat on the embroidered pier next to Jia Heng, asking with concern.
When he came closer, he saw that there was no smell of alcohol. In fact, no one dared to drink wine from Jia Heng. Jia Heng just took a few sips and followed his own thoughts.
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup and said warmly: "We'll stop in Kaifeng, stop in Huai'an, and then go straight to Yangzhou. We'll be home by then." When Daiyu heard this, Yurong paused, seeming a little disappointed, and spoke softly. Said: "I haven't stayed in Luoyang for long, I just stayed here for one night."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm in a hurry. When I have more time, I have to take my sister around." It's time to draw the cake, and leave the rest to time.
Hearing this, Daiyu nodded, twisted her handkerchief behind the desk with her slender hands, and whispered: "I heard from Xiangyun that Brother Heng led her to many places, as well as Princess Xianning in the palace. Princess."
Jia Heng glanced back at Xi Ren, his expression as calm as the abyss, and when he met a pair of somewhat panicked eyes, he smiled and said, "It's been a few days, but we haven't gone to many places. Didn't my sister meet Princess Xianning before?" And Princess Qinghe?"
Daiyu's face was faint, she pursed her pink lips, and she said with a clear jade voice, "I have met Princess Xianning once, and Princess Qinghe has been to the house several times. She looks like a quiet and delicate girl."
He has a good relationship with these noble ladies of the clan, and it seems that he doesn't see what his sister-in-law says or what he thinks. Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "Sister, you can also get to know more girls outside and meet different people."
Regardless of whether they are princesses or princesses, they will also make friends with the daughters of nobles and nobles in the social circle. Of course, the former are more common, but Daiyu comes from a noble family, so there is nothing wrong with getting along with noble daughters of the clan.
Daiyu gently stroked the braid hanging down on her front shoulders and said softly: "People may not be willing to interact with me. I am a girl from the countryside and I don't know the etiquette. If I bump into others, it will be bad."
The girl held the handkerchief, turned her face to the boy, and looked at the night outside the window, seeming to see something inexplicable.
Jia Heng said warmly: "My sister is from a famous family, with noble moral character and extraordinary talents. She is not like this in the lonely forest of the fairyland in the world. Even if she is better than those noble girls from the clan, there is no need to belittle yourself."
Why does this Daiyu like to hear him praise her so much? Another look that says, "Say something I want to hear." When Daiyu heard this, she was filled with shame and joy, and whispered: "Brother Heng is too praised."
Yuanyang took the tea cup and said softly: "Uncle, Miss Lin, these are the grapes that have just been washed."
Jia Heng nodded, thanked him, took a grape, stuffed it into his mouth, and whispered, "Sister, try it too."
"Yes." Daiyu also took the grapes and peeled them gently. She peeled the skins of the grapes with her slender hands, put one in her mouth, and chewed it gently. The juice flowed along the red lips to the snowy skin at the corner of her lips. The red and white contrasted with each other, bright and beautiful. Unspeakable.
After a while, Zicuckoo said softly: "Girl, the hot water is ready, it's time to take a bath." Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Daiyu, smiled and said, "Sister, go ahead."
Daiyu's cheeks were slightly shy, she pursed her lips and said, "Brother Heng, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
Jia Heng nodded, watched Daiyu leave, ate two grapes, wiped his hands, and was about to leave when he saw the paper on the desk, his face was slightly startled, he moved his steps, and looked closer.
On the paper printed with the peach blossom pattern, Juan's beautiful and fresh handwriting jumps into view, as if she is facing a copybook.
Jia Heng glanced at it without looking at it, and was about to turn around and leave when suddenly, a thick book fell to the ground on the table.
Jia Heng hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and saw an envelope falling out from the thick book. illuminated by the orange candlelight, he could see five small regular letters: Sincerely, Brother Heng.
Surprise appeared on Jia Heng's face, his brows furrowed slightly, he picked up the letter, opened the envelope under the light, took out a few pieces of paper and looked at it. The top piece of paper has two words written on it.
"The flowers have faded to red and green, and the apricots are small. When the swallows fly, the green water is surrounded by people... The laughter gradually disappears and becomes quieter. The passionate people are annoyed by the ruthlessness."
Jia Heng's brows furrowed, his eyes were focused for a while, expressionless, he flipped through the pages and continued to look at the next one. It seemed that after several days, there was still a line of poetry: "What do you know when you miss each other and meet each other?" It’s hard to be embarrassed at this time and this night.”
Jia Heng's expression changed, and he looked at the piece of paper at the back again, his eyes twinkling, and he felt deep in his heart.
In fact, most of them are short poems, some of which are excerpts of previous poems, and some of which are detailed notes written by Daiyu himself. Judging from the time, they were written during the period when he was fighting the chaos in Henan.
A girl's admiration and ignorant longing are put into writing, and every word is related to love.
Jia Heng put the note paper into the envelope, his eyes were a little hidden, and he didn't know what he was feeling in his heart. Was he regarded by Dai Yu as the object of his adolescent fantasy?
Girls' feelings are always poetry. If you don't study hard, you will have to fall in love early.
, is Xiashe dead now?
Jia Heng suppressed the weirdness in his heart, but he was not ready to expose it now, just in case the little girl became angry and broke the jar. "uncle."
At this moment, Xiren called out. There was a smile on the face with curved eyebrows and plump cheeks, the skin was rosy, and there was shrewdness in the lowered eyes. Earlier, Yuanyang, Zicuckoo, and Xueyan were waiting for Daiyu to take a bath. For a while, only Jiaheng and Xiren were left in the room.
"Xiren." Jia Heng put the note paper into an envelope and put it in the ancient book. With a nonchalant expression on his face, he asked, "Is something wrong?" Xiren said softly, "Nothing? I need it here, sir. Don’t need help?”
Jia Heng looked at the slightly timid girl with rosy cheeks and said, "It's okay, I can do it myself."
The attacker saw a hint of guilt in his eyes, pursed his pink lips, and said in a low voice: "Return to the uncle, just now the girl asked about the princess, and I couldn't help but answer."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, and in his uneasy mind, he nodded and said nothing else.
On the other side, Daiyu, accompanied by Zicuckoo, Snow Goose and Yuanyang, entered the inner compartment, leaving Zicuckoo and a few others to take off their clothes and step into the bathtub.
The sheep talisman has been soaked in the snow-white lamb for a long time. It seems to be slightly sweaty, smooth and soft.
Daiyu gently took off the sheep talisman, looked at it for a moment, her brows and eyes were full of love, and entered the bathtub with flower petals in the steaming heat. After Daiyu took a bath and put on new clothes, she came to the front hall again and saw Jia Heng talking to Xi Ren.
Jia Heng looked at Daiyu, suppressed some of the strange things he noticed when he looked at the letter paper, and said, "Sister Lin, today is the last time I see Jinghuayuan."
Daiyu also had a bit of joy on her face. She sat down and listened to Jia Heng narrating the legend of Jinghuayuan. Just like that, after finishing the story of Jing Hua Yuan, Jia Heng also picked up the tea cup and looked at the person opposite.
Daiyu still had some unfinished thoughts. She looked at the young man and said softly: "Brother Heng, please tell me one more thing."
Jia Heng looked at Daiyu, smiled, and said softly: "Sister Lin, it's getting late now, so why not go to bed early? We have to sail tomorrow morning."
Daiyu nodded and said softly: "Brother Heng, let's go."
After Jia Heng left, Daiyu looked away at the young man's back and returned to the desk, not letting Xi Ren and Zijuan wait on her again.
He took out a piece of paper, thought about it, wrote a paragraph, picked up the book, and was suddenly stunned.
She remembered that it shouldn't be on this page. Thinking of this, she picked up the letter and started to pick up a few pieces of paper to read. "This...is the order out of order?"
Daiyu froze on the spot, turned her starry eyes to look at Zicuckoo who was brewing maple dew tea, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Zicuckoo, did anyone move around the bookcase just now?"
In fact, the girl was so emotional at first that after writing such words, she wanted to burn them afterwards. It was like writing some pretentious words and posting them on WeChat Moments. She felt embarrassed and picked at her feet for a few days afterwards, but after all she hesitated, she was not willing to throw them away. .
Zijuan said in surprise: "Girl, no one is coming, it's just Uncle Heng and Xi Ren."
Suddenly, Xiren happened to bring foot-washing water from outside. Zijuan frowned and asked, "Xiren, who is here at the girl's desk?" Xiren looked pretending to be surprised and asked, "Girl, I didn't see it either. "I was not in the room just now. Did the girl lose something?" Daiyu said hurriedly: "It's nothing."
The girl seemed to sit down a little slumped, and there was an inexplicable shame in her heart. Her bright and snowy cheeks were red and dripping with blood. It was over, I guess he saw it, he must have seen it!
Yeah, how will she see anyone from now on?
He lowered his eyes and looked at the envelope, only to see the words "Brother Heng personally express" pop into his eyes. It would be better if these words were not written. It's too late to say anything now.
Jia Heng, unaware of Daiyu's embarrassment, left the wing where Daiyu was, then thought for a while, taking advantage of the hazy moonlight, and headed to another courtyard.
In the private room, Chen Xiao was sitting in the bathtub taking a bath. The girl's slender hands were in front of her, gently scrubbing her body. The delicate jade-like collarbones were accumulating water drops. The girl's clear eyes looked out at the night outside the window, and she was lost in thought. .
The aunt said that she had seen the crown prince's heir with a crescent moon birthmark on his back. Jia Heng had a crescent moon birthmark on his back, so Jia Heng was the crown prince's heir, but she couldn't tell him yet.
It's just that she still hasn't figured it out yet, how did her aunt know? Maybe it's a coincidence?
Moreover, Xianning's cousin doesn't seem to know Jia Heng's identity yet. The relationship between the two seems to be very close. The two of them were hugging each other in the room earlier, and they were close to each other.
Forget it, the royal family has been in chaos since ancient times, so maybe we can’t talk too much about this.
If he is an heir, he cannot be exposed now, and perhaps there will be no need for chaos and bloodshed in the world.
Just when the girl was wondering, she heard a voice coming from under the eaves, and asked curiously: "Is Miss Xiao in there?" It was clearly that person's voice, and then, accompanied by a "squeak", it seemed that the door and window were being covered. People push away from the outside.
Chen Xiao's eyebrows furrowed, her face changed slightly, and she suddenly realized that she had forgotten to bolt the door just now.
"I'm taking a shower." Chen Xiao's cold voice came out, with a bit of annoyance. Even if she wasn't taking a shower, shouldn't she wait for her to open the door?
Jia Heng just pushed the door open and walked in. He paused for a moment, but immediately did not go back and asked, "Then why don't you lock the door? If there's someone here, you're doomed."
Chen Xiao frowned and said in a cold voice: "Uncle Heng, are you talking about yourself?"
Jia Heng was about to sit down. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. He said to himself, "Don't say anything about yourself. We should be civilized between you and me." "Pu Liuzhi, I'm not interested." Jia Heng put down the teacup and whispered.
Chen Xiao: "
Can't this person speak? Although he doesn't really care about these things, Pu Liuzhi... If we talk about it in detail, he should call her cousin and talk to her like this.
Jia Heng put down the tea cup and said, "It would be better to get a maid for you later, so that you can take care of your daily life and prepare your own clothes for bathing. It's a bit too miserable."
"No, Master Heng has never seen a cook with a maid serving him." Chen Xiao was in the inner room, reaching out to gently wash the snow. He didn't seem to care about Jia Heng outside, and he wasn't in a hurry to go out.
Jia Heng said casually: "I have never seen a daughter from the clan work as a cook."
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment, and asked, "Uncle Heng, do you have anything to do with me?"
Hearing the "crash" sound in the inner compartment, Jia Heng didn't care and said: "I want to find you and inquire. You travel all over the country and want to meet a lot of powerful forces in the world. I want to ask you about some things in Yangzhou."
The Jinyi Mansion has not yet investigated the specific salt merchants who poisoned Lin Ruhai Salt Courtyard. As for whether the Yangzhou salt merchants colluded with other gangsters, you might as well listen to Ms. Chen from Bailian, Shandong. What new news can it bring.
Listening to the voice in the back room, he obviously fell into silence. After a while, he said, "Wait a moment, I will put on my clothes." It was always a bit weird to talk while bathing like this.
"Take your time and wash yourself off. I'm not in a hurry." Jia Heng didn't rush him. He picked up the tea cup and sipped it while thinking about Yangzhou.
The breakthrough point is probably the two salt transport envoys Guo Shaonian and Liu Shengzao. They are the people in charge. I think they know the amount of salt and silver balance withdrawals over the years.
Chen Xiao snorted and thought to himself, what can you do if you are anxious?
Jia Heng just waited like this. After a while, Chen Xiao changed into a bamboo green dress. The girl looked like a lotus flower emerging from the water. She had a beautiful green silk tied behind her waist. She had a slim and beautiful figure. Her originally white and flawless face may have been bathed in Afterwards, the white was rosy, bright and beautiful, with a hint of beauty like clouds, but under the thin eyebrows of the willow leaves, there were clear gleams in the eyes.
He came to another chair and sat down, holding a teacup in his hand.
Jia Heng looked at her for a moment, then glanced between the girl's cold brows and eyes, and said, "You and Xian Ning do have similar brows, but they don't have the tear mole."
"Xianning is also like a Puliu?" Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, glanced coldly at Jia Heng, and asked.
Jia Heng smiled, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip. The girl in front of him couldn't beat him, and she couldn't quarrel.
of. "
Chen Xiaoni glanced at him and stopped talking.
Jia Heng asked: "How much does Miss Xiao know about Yangzhou salt merchants? Have you ever heard of any big Jianghu forces in Yangzhou and other places?"
Chen Xiao thought for a while and said: "Most of the eight salt merchants in Yangzhou are from Huizhou. They have been living in Yangzhou since the Taizong Dynasty. Because they often donated money, they were decreed to be called righteous merchants. By the time of Longzhi, they were The Supreme Emperor used troops, patrolled the south, built palaces, received donations from salt merchants, and awarded many official titles. These people lived in Yangzhou for generations, married to each other, and their influence was intertwined. They even had contacts with private salt dealers and bandits. As the commander-in-chief of Jinyi, you should be responsible for these. You know a lot."
"I know that I know, but some of them may not be accurate. Does Miss Xiao know that these people are colluding with those bandit forces? Is there anything related to the White Lotus Sect?" Jia Heng asked.
Chen Xiao shook his head and said: "They regard the White Lotus Sect as a demon sect. As for the bandit forces, I have vaguely heard of this. Maybe they have business dealings with pirates and pirates from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It seems that in recent years, there have been some in the south. A group called the Jinsha Gang is engaged in maritime business and is quite influential."
Jia Heng looked gloomy and murmured: "Jinsha Gang?"
He secretly wrote down the name and asked Liu Jixian to look it up later.
"A group of desperadoes, selling private salt and smuggling it to the north." Chen Xiao said quietly with a frosty face. In fact, smuggling was also carried out in the coastal areas of Shandong towards the enemy territories in the East, but it was not as rampant as in the areas south of the Yangtze River. Jia Heng pondered for a moment, looked at Chen Xiao, and asked, "Your status in the White Lotus Sect is not low, right?"
"I'm just a little minion." Chen Xiao snorted and whispered. This person was trying to trick her every moment. After hearing this, Jia Heng did not continue to ask.
.......
To the west of Chongming Sand in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is a stretch of sandbar islands and reed shoals with dangerous currents and frequent whirlpools, making it inaccessible to non-experienced boatmen. From the reign of Chen Hanlong to the early years of Chongping, not only the armaments of the Beijing camp and the frontier army were weakened, but the Jiang defense gradually became ineffective. From time to time, desperadoes from the left of the Yangtze River gathered here to buy boats, do business along the coast, or rob merchants. Even the local governor In order to arrest them, they bribed the gentry and the management to report the news, and fled to the islands in Zhoushan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and hid.
At this moment, on the bank of an unknown sandbank, in the summer evening, the sea breeze is howling, and the white waves are beating against the rocks on the shore, making a sound of "papa". Under the reed canopies on the shore, dozens of people are surrounded by several people. A middle-aged man with a burly appearance and a serious face.
The leader has a purple face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a short beard under his chin, but his face is covered with ridges and looks like weather. His name is Yan Qing, and he is the leader of the Jinsha Gang, a group of bandits gathered here. .
On the left side is a big-faced man with a beard and a dark complexion. There is a scar on the right side of his face. He is wearing short clothes and has chest hair sticking out in front of him. He is quite unkempt. His name is Niu Wu.
The other person is slightly thinner, with a bronzed face and skin, but his eyes are shrewd under his broken eyebrows. His name is Lu Zhenhai.
The three were sworn brothers. They were originally township party members in Huaixu and other places. Later, they became entangled with a group of bandits and gathered on the sandbank near Chongming Island. They were active along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They gradually gathered a gang of three to four thousand people and called themselves The Jinsha Gang were desperadoes in the early days, but later they sold private salt, used boats as their houses, and sailed across the rivers and seas.
A group of people who had been waiting for a long time on the shore exclaimed: "Here we come."
Suddenly, a huge sea ship appeared in everyone's sight. Under the mast, the sails were spread out, and the waves were rolling between the sea and the sky.
While he was talking, the sampan was lowered from the ship, and from it he saw about ten people wearing short-sleeved clothes, with shaved foreheads and whips. At first glance, they were not from the Central Plains.
A dozen or so guards with big muscles, round waists, and fierce faces were surrounding a burly man in his early thirties.
The man had a majestic face and a rough temperament. He was dressed in a warrior's attire, and his eyes were shining brightly. From time to time, he flashed a bright light of wisdom. He was looking forward to his glory, and his tiger's mouth was tightly pressing a sword on his waist.
The leader of the Jinsha Gang, Yan Qing, led the brothers, walked a few steps quickly, raised his hands to the person not far away and said, "Yan has met the Tenth Master."
I heard from Lao Yao, who was doing business with him, that this was a big shot from the north. I heard he was some kind of county king.
The middle-aged man looked at the person facing him for a moment, then stretched out his vice-like hands, held Yan Qing's arms, and said with a smile: "Gang Leader Yan, brothers, there is no need to be polite."
He still speaks Chinese proficiently, but his accent is a little weird and awkward.
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Yan Qing invited the middle-aged man to the temporary residence on the island. Because he had already written letters to the middle-aged man about business dealings, they had a pleasant conversation, mainly about Jiangnan silk and various kinds of things. Porcelain and tea were sent by sea to the coastal areas of Huludao for the use of the nobles of Donglu.
These supplies from the Great Hannan Province are in high demand in the Kingdom of Jin and are loved by some noble women.
The two sides sat together and talked. The young man who called the Tenth Master glanced at the man in front of him and smiled and said: "You are all heroes in the world, and you have to live here. Heroes are not allowed to stretch. I feel sorry for you brothers."
At this time, an old man in his fifties with gray hair beside him said with a smile: "Gang leader Yan, we have strong soldiers and horses, and his brothers are also very powerful. He is really a heroic and righteous man."
Yan Qing smiled, a dark look flashed in his eyes, and he was silent for a moment.
Because I have lobbied for it before, the officials in the north will be rewarded, and they will harass the coastal provinces in the south and south of the Yangtze River. When the matter is completed, they will even break the soil and seal the vassal. Of course, this is just a word.
The old man surnamed Yao smiled and said, "I wonder what Master Yan thinks about what we talked about at the beginning of the year?"
"Shopkeeper Yao, the imperial court is not that easy to deal with. Just us brothers, how do we compare with the previous King Gao of the Central Plains? The rafters in this group died first. Shopkeeper Yao thinks highly of us." Yan Qing pondered for a moment and smiled. , said politely.
The people in front of them are leaning to the north, exchanging some goods from their hands. If the government troops attack, they will be recruited as Austrian aid. As for fighting against the court, their heads will be kicked by donkeys. Now the court, which was originally in turmoil, has the potential to be invigorated and promising.
This is because Jia Heng ignited chaos in the Central Plains and effectively frightened the dragons, snakes and grass in the world.
As soon as he said this, shopkeeper Yao smiled and said, "Master Yan, didn't we agree on it before? Why is this happening again?"
The smile on Yan Qing's face did not diminish and he said: "At the beginning, Yan just said that he couldn't understand the court's intention, but Yan never said that he would immediately oppose the court. Although we are in exile, we still have self-awareness. If The imperial court is weak, so it goes without saying that we should repay injustice with injustice and revenge with hatred."
The young man known as Shi Ye looked at Yan Qing aggressively and said loudly: "Brother Yan, there is a saying among the Han people that if a man is born without five pots of food, he will be cooked with five pots of food when he dies. I think that the Taizu of Chen Han was no more than Isn't it an ordinary citizen of Yuyao who created the foundation of this country? Nowadays, the Chen and Han Dynasties are unruly, and righteous people are everywhere. My brothers are in the south of the Yangtze River, where the soldiers and civil servants are weak, and they are galloping across the country. Isn't it better than wandering on the sea now? "
At this time, Lu Zhenhai, who was beside Yan Qing, answered: "Tenth Master, the imperial court is powerful, but we are powerless. With so few people under our command, we are alone. If we encounter the imperial court, we will be able to hit the stone with an egg."
. It’s time to reduce the quotation and reply. The ugly year is coming—make plans to start a new year.
The young man known as Master Shi smiled, a gleam flashed deep in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I am here to support you brothers. I hope you can grow stronger and be able to stand on your own."
He also heard some news in Shengjing about what happened in the Han Dynasty in recent months. Before Chen Han, Ning Guogong and his team reorganized the capital camp and put down the chaos in the Central Plains, which shocked the world for a while. From then on, he originally promised The good Jinsha Gang began to be vague again.
So where did Jia Heng come from? Along the way, I heard that this boy also helped to regulate the Central Plains. Since this year, the Huanghuai River, which originally burst its banks, has not caused any trouble at all.
Along the way, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms purchased was full of tricks, and even Bago and his elder brother were full of praise for it. This kid can't be kept. If there is a chance, he must be eliminated, otherwise he will become a nuisance to Dai Jin in the future! Several people discussed, but the Jinsha Gang did not agree to take action after all.
After that, Yan Qing called people to prepare a banquet to entertain the nobles from the Kingdom of Jin who came from afar. After that, he called a singer to come from outside. Her figure was as soft as a willow, her skin was soft and white, she smiled softly and played and sang, Wu Yiruan
language.
For a while, cups were pushed and cups were exchanged, laughter and laughter continued, and the atmosphere gradually reached a climax.
The eyes of the Batulu bells behind Mr. Shi were wide open, almost looking straight. This little girl from the South is really more spunky than the last...
Several nobles from the Kingdom of Jin were entertained. At this moment, a man from outside came into the hall and whispered something in the ear of Yan Qing, the leader of the Jinsha Gang.
As Yan Qing listened, his face changed slightly and his eyes became serious.
Although the young man known as Master Shi was enjoying the singing and dancing, he actually focused more than half of his attention on Yan Qing. He observed Yan Qing's words, put down the wine cup, looked at Yan Qing, and asked with a smile: "Gang Leader Yan, what's wrong?"
Yan Qing's face showed a bit of solemnity and he said: "Tenth Master, Yan just heard the news that the great Han Yongning Uncle seems to be sailing south to Yangzhou. I wonder what he wants to do?"
When the young man heard this, he was shocked and said, "I wonder where this person is now?"
Yan Qing said: "We are still on the canal road. We may have reached Henan by now. I haven't said where we are going, but I might as well come to Yangzhou and Jinling."
As soon as he said this, Lu Zhenhai on the side said: "Brother, Uncle Yongning came to Yangzhou this time because he came to us."
"I only brought people from the Jinyi Mansion, not an army. I guess that's not true. Besides, I have been making money in peace and harmony in the past two years, and I haven't created any big cases." Yan Qing said in a deep voice.
The Jinsha Gang are not idiots. They only engage in security incidents such as extortion, robberies and smuggling. They have never thought of conquering prefectures and counties. So a scabies disease like this is naturally not worth reporting to the court by coastal officials and attracting attention. A reprimand.
The young man named Shi Ye flashed his eyes and asked, "Do you know where Uncle Yongning is now?"
Yan Qing did not hide anything, or he just said it intentionally, and said loudly: "I heard that I am still on the road now, probably still in Henan. I think I came here this time for the Yangzhou salt affairs. The imperial court is rectifying the salt affairs. The crackdown on illegal activities does not happen every day, but this time the movement is bigger."
There are also salt farms in the Jin Kingdom, located in Yingkou, but the output is not high, and the quality is not as good as Huai salt. Of course, smuggling salt into the Jin Kingdom is just one type of smuggling of various goods.
The young man named Shi Ye raised his wine cup and said, "If we know this person's exact itinerary, can we eradicate this person to eliminate his trouble?"
Yan Qing shook his head and said, "It's not that easy. Uncle Yongning has a high position and must be guarded by his retinue when he comes in and out. It's not easy to assassinate him. Besides, this matter also has consequences. It will make the imperial court furious, and all the troops will arrive. As a last resort, you should never take risky measures."
If we really reach a point where nothing can be done, we can only take this dangerous strategy, which is nothing more than escaping to the sea and living a hard life for several years.
Master Shi smiled and said, "If Gang Leader Yan needs any help, please let me know. I have brought many warriors with me on this trip to help get rid of this person.
If the problem cannot be solved, then solve the person who caused the problem. This Duduo County King who once caused the ten-day murder case in Yangzhou in parallel time and space is ruthless, wise and courageous.
Yan Qing paused slightly, thinking about the pros and cons of the Jurchens' intervention, but finally suppressed his thoughts and said in a haha, "If there is need, I will definitely ask Master Shi for advice."
The Jurchens still cannot interfere, otherwise there will be no turning back from now on.
