Yangzhou City in March with fireworks is like hot water about to boil.
What is the concept of the whole city being robbed?
Even the imperial envoy from Dali Temple sent by the capital was full of disbelief after learning about this incident.
How many manpower are needed to do this?
Salt merchants are not stupid either. They don't dare to reveal the actual number. Even if they are stolen, they can only lick their wounds silently.
Once the court learns of their true savings, let alone Lin Ruhai, the emperor will personally roll up his sleeves and become a bandit shirtless!
The money they get from the wealthy gentry is not much, their real advantage lies in the land!
Salt merchants are different, they play with real money!
They contributed more than half of the 160 million silver and 80 million taels of gold.
You know, how many salt merchants were appointed by Yangzhou? Ten families!
This also made Zhao Bingyan stunned.
It turns out that he always thought that the internal and external troubles in the court were because of villains in the court!
Unexpectedly, the clown turned out to be me!
In addition to being rich, Yangzhou salt merchants are also terrifyingly powerful, because most of their money is used to win over officials!
Among them is the Zhen family, known as the tiger in the south of the Yangtze River!
What is the identity of the Zhen family? Anyone who has seen Red Mansions should know that the ancestor of the Zhen family was once the nanny of the Supreme Emperor!
As long as the Supreme Emperor is immortal, the Zhen family's status in Jiangnan can be called transcendent!
As for the four major families in Jinling, they are also "big families" that ordinary people cannot imagine.
It can be called a "protective talisman"!
Jia is true, white jade is the hall gold and horse. Epang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot accommodate a person of Jinling history.
There was a shortage of white jade beds in the East China Sea, so the Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling. In good years there is heavy snow, and pearls are like earth and gold are like iron.
When successive officials came to take office, they still needed to communicate with the four families to show their compliance!
Lu Yan has no idea about these families for the time being.
After all, even if he eradicates the powerful gentry in the future, he shouldn't do it now.
The current new emperor succeeded the throne after the crown prince was deposed. Because the emperor felt that his life was not long, he wanted the fourth son to be more at ease.
Unexpectedly, his position has been retreated, but he is not dead!
It was embarrassing now. Not only was the Supreme Emperor uncomfortable, but the new emperor was also uncomfortable, and the ministers were even more uncomfortable!
Listen to the Supreme Emperor, the new emperor will definitely settle accounts in the future.
According to the new emperor, the Supreme Emperor is still willing to use the knife! What do you do? Isn't this nonsense?
There is also a poem in "The Red Mansion" that says, "Rhetoric and unkind words are all honored, but it is peaceful to start a fight."
What does it mean? Although the Rongguo Mansion has serious problems, it is not a big problem. Punishment and exile do not involve confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. After all, where is the reputation? Even if you are defeated, you can at least survive!
How come we are reduced to a vast expanse of white? The land is so clean!
Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion, a little expert at removing ashes, felt that it was necessary to say that it was his fault!
Qin Keqing's identity is questionable. Even if he is not from the royal family, he is still someone related to the royal family!
Why do you say that? Jia Zhen is a hereditary third-grade majestic general, and Ningguo Mansion is the home of inheritance.
Even if you are looking for a daughter-in-law, you have to choose from thousands of choices. Why should you look for Qin Keqing? She is the adopted daughter brought back by Qin Bangye!
This was obviously arranged deliberately by someone who wanted to give Ning Guofu a chance!
In Jia's mother's mouth, she is the most satisfied person among her great-grandson's daughter-in-law!
Jia Zhen still can't understand this. He is a person with a background. If he doesn't die, it will be unforgivable!
Thinking about the Red Mansion carefully, Lu Yan felt more and more that there was a pit inside.
Jia Mu, the ancestor of Rongguo Mansion, only cared about having fun at home and did not consider the actual situation at all.
The whole house is "occupied" by the family's children, and even the ladies dare to challenge him!
The descendants of the Jia family actually want to call a slave "Grandpa", which can be called an example of rebellion against Tiangang!
After practicing calligraphy, Lu Yan was preparing to dry it.
But at this moment, a pair of short legs struggled to cross the door eaves and ran in,
Seeing this scene, Lu Yan quickly stood up, picked her up and said, "Xiao Daiyu!"
"Brother, go play, go play!"
Looking at Lu Yan happily, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but feel happy.
Hearing this, Lu Yan smiled and said, "You can't go out, there are big thieves outside!"
"Don't be afraid, Daiyu protects my brother!"
With a smile on her face, Lin Daiyu seemed to have no idea how terrifying the "big thief" was.
Maybe in her eyes, her mother Jia Min is the most terrifying!
Jia Min: Can you please tell me?
"Well, brother, just satisfy Daiyu!"
Looking at Sister Lin, Lu Yan always felt that he could not refuse her.
Maybe she is a pitiable girl!
Having lost his mother at a young age and his father at a young age, he was fostered in Jia's family and left under the shelter of others. It is really difficult for ordinary people to understand that feeling.
The Queen Mother's "Mother Jia Baoyu!"'s attitude towards Lin Daiyu was visibly bad.
Why? Isn’t it because the Queen Mother got married and the power in the family was in Jia Min’s hands?
Sister-in-law Jia Min is not someone to be trifled with!
It wasn't until Jia Min got married that she slowly took over the housekeeping power!
Don't underestimate this, as far as jealousy and preference are concerned, the Queen Mother cannot really like Lin Daiyu!
But what kind of virtue does her own big-faced treasure have? That's really it. If your limbs are not diligent, you can't separate the grains, you are almost an adult, and you still like to have fun among women. If you were in another family, you would have been regarded as an evil son!
But there is no way, Rong Guofu has this ability!
After leaving the Lin Mansion, Lu Yan specifically found Liu Dashan and others, wandering around with swords on their waists like guards,
Nowadays, Yangzhou City is really in chaos, because the big families are looking for "big robbers".
The government office also moved around overnight, because the imperial envoy from Dali Temple also came.
There is no way, if the whole city is stolen, the court will definitely get involved!
However, as time went by, it became clear that the big thief was simply nonsense;
It can only add some interesting things for the common people to chat with.
Holding Lin Daiyu in his arms, Lu Yan pointed around from time to time and said, "Does it look good? Brother, can I buy it for you?"
"Yes, Daiyu likes it!"
Hearing what Lu Yan said, Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up.
When Jia Min was in charge, she had never come out to have fun like this.
"Okay, brother, I'll buy it for you!"
Arriving at the stall, Lu Yan bought some things and asked the maids to take them.
But at this moment, a man in ragged clothes walked past while holding a girl.
Seeing the girl, Lin Daiyu was a little surprised and said: "Sister, you are beautiful!"
Looking down at the man, Lu Yan frowned and said, "Your daughter?"
"Back to the young master, this is my little girl!"
Looking at Lu Yan, the man looked a little reserved.
Surrounded from the side, Liu Dashan and others guarded the surroundings, fearing that the man would make some dangerous move.
Leaning over to look at the girl held by the man, Lu Yan said, "My sister wants a playmate, let her be her!"
"Sir, my daughter is not for sale."
Looking at Lu Yan in fear, the man quickly tightened the girl in his hands,
But at this time, Lu Yan said: "If you don't sell it, I will rob it. You dare to sue me? I will kill you!"
As Lu Yan spoke, Liu Dashan and others around him were stunned on the spot.
what's the situation? Why did my young master suddenly change his gender?
"Twelve!"
Stretching out his hand tremblingly, the man couldn't help but his face collapsed.
Why did he go out today and encounter evil stars? He didn't dare to raise the price at all!
Looking at the man aggrievedly, the girl was held in the hand of the maid,
Looking down at the girl's mole between her eyebrows, Lu Yan confirmed that she was Zhen Yinglian, later known as Xiang Ling!
Looking sideways at Liu Dashan, Lu Yan said, "Wait until he leaves the city, kill the people, and get the money back!"
"Yes, sir!"
Liu Dashan looked at Lu Yan with some confusion. Even though Liu Dashan was confused, he still frowned and agreed.
But seeing Liu Dashan's appearance, Lu Yan said, "That's a kidnapper. Be careful. Don't let me explain to you in the future!"
Suddenly hearing these words, Liu Dashan nodded quickly and said: "I understand, young master!"
"Go!"
Waving his hand, Lu Yan stopped asking.
If Liu Dashan couldn't even carry people up the mountain or dig holes to bury them, he would have to wonder how he became this bandit!
Although ten taels of silver was not much, Lu Yan felt bad for giving it to such a person. What does this mean, encouraging crime? He has to get his money back,
That's what he "robbed" after working hard all night!
Salt merchant, aristocratic gentry: Shameless man, that’s our money!
