The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 263

"What? Reverse?!"

With an exclamation, the teacup in Yanping Zhifu's hand could no longer be held.

"boom!"

Tea splashed.

But at this time, the magistrate of Yanping, completely ignoring the soaked hem of his official uniform, grabbed the messenger who came to report the news, and asked, "Those miners, are they really going against each other?!"

"It's really the other way around, my lord!"

The messenger who sent the report left, and the prefect of Yanping sat down on the big chair slumped.

"I'm afraid it's over now, those mud-legged miners, how dare they rebel?!"

Suddenly, seeing the guards next to him, a glimmer of hope flashed in Yanping Zhifu's eyes, "If we send troops now, is there hope to suppress those rebels?"

"It's too late!"

The defense also had a sad expression on his face, "It would have been okay at first, but now that bastard surnamed Ye has gathered nearly ten thousand miners, and bought a large number of weapons and armor from nowhere. Our thousands of government soldiers can resist!"

"There are already tens of thousands of people?!"

The prefect of Yanping couldn't help being taken aback.

"My lord, I think it's better to report this matter quickly! There seems to be some insider information!" The guard said in a deep voice.

"The inside story?"

Hearing this, the prefect of Yanping lifted his spirits and asked, "How do you say that?"

The guard immediately said: "I planted a few informants inside. According to the news from them, I overheard the beginning of the conversation inside, and they all have a Shanshan accent!"

"On the Shanshan side?"

The prefect of Yanping came to a sudden understanding, "It's his grandma's, they are trying to make trouble with us!"

Shenjing promulgated the edict of the new tax law before, and it has already spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the assassination of the imperial court imperial envoy by the wealthy nobles in the Shanshan area really shocked many people's jaws.

It's just that everyone knows that in this way, it is almost equivalent to tearing the face off with the court.

After all, Emperor Hongde was still in charge of the Great Zhou family, and he stood on the opposite side like this, how could those people please him?
No, as the participating families in Shenjingli were raided and killed, Emperor Hongde ordered Jin Yiwei to go to the Shanshan area to search the participating families.

Seeing that the blade reached his neck, some people naturally wanted to take a risk.

It's just that the prefect of Yanping didn't expect that they finally picked their own territory.

"Those blind bastards, it's not a good place to go, but they chose my territory! Isn't this a disguised way to say that the prefecture's jurisdiction is the most chaotic?" The prefect of Yanping cursed.

Next to him, Yanping Defen could not help but roll his eyes in his heart.

"In the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, who doesn't know your reputation as the magistrate of Yanping? In addition, there are many mines in Yanping, and you are extremely exploitative. If you don't choose this place, where would you choose?" How can it be called for nothing?"

The magistrate of Yanping gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I'm going to write to the imperial court right away. The bandits in the Shanshan area are especially unwilling to give up. Now they are planning to provoke the miners in Yanping to rebel. They really deserve to be killed!"

Knowing that this time of rebellion had been intervened by a powerful family from the mountains and Shaanxi provinces, the prefect of Yanping's mind immediately improved a lot.

"In addition, those miners and rebels even robbed us of the silver that we refined this season, so that we can afford to buy a large number of weapons and armor!"

garrison,"……??"

"Good guy, is this going to directly secrete all the silver stored in the treasury?"

Yanping's defensive brows couldn't help jumping up and down.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw the four fingers stretched out by the prefect of Yanping...

Four percent?

Thinking about Curry's mountain of silver, Yanping's defensive face suddenly calmed down.

Yizheng said: "Forcibly robbing the bank of the state government, those rebels really deserve to die!"

After all, the two looked at each other, full of agreement.

………………

Shenjing, Rongguo Mansion.

Not long after Chenshi arrived, Wang Ziteng came straight to the backyard with his wife and servants.

This made Mrs. Wang's yard lively in an instant.

It turned out that Wang Ziteng returned to Beijing a few days ago, and after learning about his sister, Mrs. Wang, he specially came to visit.

My brother came over, and in Xue's house over there, Aunt Xue naturally couldn't push and push.

So, with Xue Pan, they also arrived at Rongguo Mansion by car.

Wang Ziteng's arrival made Mrs. Wang quite happy.

After this period of diagnosis and treatment, Mrs. Wang's condition has improved slightly.

Although he still couldn't speak, it was still possible to utter a word or two vaguely with all his strength.

Wang Ziteng saw his younger sister's hands trembling, mouth crooked, drooling, and couldn't help feeling a little bit sad.

He hurriedly comforted Mrs. Wang, saying: "You just need to rest easy and recuperate, and you don't have to worry about the rest, it's a lot easier!"

Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Wang heard this, her eyes widened immediately, and her trembling hands grabbed the hem of Wang Ziteng's clothes.

"Split... wind... wind matters!"

Wang Ziteng was taken aback, "What's the matter?"

Beside, Lin Zhixiao's family has been waiting there.

Seeing this, she first passed a clean veil over Mrs. Wang's mouth to wipe off the overflowing saliva, and then took advantage of the time when there were only Wang Ziteng and his wife in the room.

He explained softly: "Ma'am, what you mean is Baoyu's marriage!"

Mrs. Wang nodded vigorously, staring closely at Wang Ziteng.

Afterwards, Lin Zhixiao's family quickly told the whole story of the previous incident.

Only then did Wang Ziteng understand.

However, after understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Wang Ziteng's face was full of embarrassment.

After all, the Jia family today is no longer the time when it needed to rely on itself to speak out for it in the officialdom.

Leaving aside the fact that the palace is pregnant with a dragon son, it happens to be the favored concubine Xianfei.

Just Jia Jing, who now holds a heavy army and stands above the court, is already an existence that is incomparable to him.

Right now, it is time to rely on others.

When it comes to Jia's family affairs, how can Wang Ziteng take more care?

After careful consideration for a while, he said: "Baoyu's marriage is a matter of your family. As an uncle, I don't want to interfere too much, but I can ask your master later to see how he is doing." Meaning!"

Although Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied with this, she was helpless.

This was all she could do, the last struggle.

So, he nodded his head vigorously, as if he agreed with Wang Ziteng's words.

At this moment, the maids outside reported that Aunt Xue came with Xue Pan.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ziteng hurriedly ordered: "Come in, please!"

Although Mrs. Wang was full of reluctance, Wang Ziteng had already spoken, so naturally it was difficult to say anything more.

After a while, Aunt Xue came to Mrs. Wang's room under the leadership of the maid.
