Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 44 Something is wrong in Yangzhou, go north (Please recommend! Please collect!)

Borrowing a knife to kill people, "The enemy has been identified, but the friend has not yet been determined. If you lead a friend to kill the enemy, you will not be able to do it yourself, so as to damage the deduction."

"Uncle Shi! I entrust you to take care of my maidservant!"

"Brother Gong, won't you go back to Beijing with us?"

"I won't go. Now that something is going on in Yangzhou, the people from the capital will arrive soon. The safety of Shibo is guaranteed. The borderlands are rarely peaceful. The sooner this matter happens, the better!!"

"Well, Brother Gong is right. If that's the case, then I wish you the best of luck!!"

At the end of a corridor at Xunyan Yamen, Jia Guan stood still and said, "Come out!!"

A figure flashed in the shadows and appeared in front of Jia Gong, but it was Yang Yun, the inner guard sent by Emperor Mingkang to protect Lin Ruhai.

"What are your orders, sir!!"

"In the future, you will probably be by Lin Shibo's side. Before I return to Beijing, if Lin Shibo behaves abnormally, do you know what to do?"

Yang Yun's hands and feet were cold, since he was controlled by Jia Gong last time, he realized that the boy in front of him was not a kind person, and he never thought that he would give him such an order when he was parting.

After a long time, he softly replied: "I know!"

"Lu Guangbing and Yu Baichuan walked southward, and the two of them brought their families along!"

Yang Yun's eyes lit up, and he bowed, "Thank you, my lord!! I will live up to my lord's trust in the future!"

Then Yang Yun disappeared into the night again and disappeared without a trace.

Jia Gong was silent for a long time, his eyes flickered a few times, it would be a disaster for those two people to stay, it is better to cut the grass and root out the roots, the two people will never surrender when they know they will die, so Yang Yun can only bring Just return two heads.

Yangzhou City, Wanhua Building, Huayu Pavilion.

Looking at the jade plate hanging in the sky, both of their pretty faces gradually became a little rosy, and their expressions were a little sad, and their thoughts drifted into the distance with the quiet moonlight.

Twenty-four bridges on a bright moon night, where can the jade people teach flute?

Tonight, Yueming didn't know where the young master had gone, and when they would meet again.

Under the moonlight, a small boat sailed lightly out of Yangzhou, and someone sang loudly in the dark.

"What is the plan of the world's beacon? There are many battles in the battlefield.

Go to Quantai to recruit the old department, and kill Yama with one hundred thousand flags! "

On the second day, an army of [-] people from the Daying Camp in the suburbs of Beijing came to Yangzhou, accompanied by people from the Sansi Yamen and many new faces. Jinshi Juren.

Seeing these people, Lin Ruhai knew well that Emperor Mingkang wanted to give Yangzhou a complete shake-up. After all, most of the local officials in Yangzhou were involved in the salt transportation, and most of them belonged to Emperor Taikang. After such a big incident happened, it was even more legitimate for Emperor Mingkang to take action.

But he doesn't have the heart to take care of these things anymore, this shot has already made him exterminate himself from Yangzhou officialdom, let the later people leave the matter to the later generations!

Most of the leading generals in Daying on the outskirts of Beijing are descendants of the Xungui Group. After seeing Lin Ruhai, most of them were neither salty nor salty. He didn't have a good impression of him, Emperor Mingkang's confidant, and Lin Ruhai didn't care about it, and each was his own master.

As for the people in the third department, most of them are from the line of civil servants. It can be said that Emperor Mingkang is a diehard. Lin Ruhai is not only from the imperial examination, but also the minister of Emperor Mingkang. Than, it really is a sky and an underground.

Soon these people straightened out the case based on the evidence provided by Lin Ruhai, and investigated Yangzhou officials at all levels. Once the incident was reported back to the court, it caused turmoil in the court.

Emperor Mingkang was even more furious. What is most lacking in Dakang now is money. Riots in various places, natural disasters and man-made disasters all need a lot of money to fill.

To suppress these rebellions, you need to send troops to fight. As long as you fight, you will naturally need money. Since ancient times, soldiers and horses have not been moved, food and grass have been first, and the army has been dispatched. .

Secondly, to appease the victims, this is also a terrifying number, even if it is a few million taels, it will not last for a few months.

It can be said that Emperor Mingkang now wished to break one tael of silver in half and use it as an emissary of two taels of silver, but Yangzhou was lucky. Yinzi, he wished he could directly kill their nine clans.

In the end, after the Sansi ransacked their homes, the property of Yangzhou officials who were greedy for ink even reached an astonishing [-] million taels of silver, which almost shocked their jaws.

Including what the six major salt merchants in Yangzhou ransacked their homes, the total was [-] million taels of silver. Even Sansi was jealous when he saw this figure, but luckily he didn't dare to cross that line. Ming Kangdi personally paid attention to the matter, and could not allow them to steal and play tricks. After nearly a month of busy work like this, Yangzhou was dealt with from the beginning to the end, and then the group returned to the capital under the escort of the army.

On the other side, Jia Gong went north along the canal, disembarked at a place not far from the capital, took the dry road and then headed north. The things he encountered along the way were varied. People in the green forest saw a young son-in-law alone Naturally, many people made up their minds about traveling, but in the end most of them were slaughtered by Jia Gong and fed to the bastards in the river.

After that, Jia Jun joined another caravan and paid twenty taels of silver, which was regarded as a free ride, and the journey was considered safe.

Until this day, when they passed near Yanshan Mountain, they met a group of strong beams.

The caravan has a total of seventy or eighty people, including the bodyguards they hired and their original followers.

The bodyguards are from Weiyuan Bodyguard Bureau of Baoding Prefecture, they are all good at fist and foot, they are all tall and big, usually even five or six people can't get close to them, this group of bodyguards has about [-] to [-] people.

The other group is the original followers of the caravan. There are forty or fifty of them. Although they are not as agile as those bodyguards, they are still a top-two expert.

The leader was an old man surnamed Wang. The old man's name was Wang Shanwen. He was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This is a business that traveled far and wide.

After so many years, the wealth has accumulated more and more, and the number of people under his command has increased, and now it has become a caravan. Previously, Jia Gong had heard a lot of information during the chat with him. The old man said that in the past few days Business has become increasingly difficult in recent years. Ten years ago, there were no such strong beams in many places. It's just that in the past few years, it is not normal for almost every province not to encounter one or two gangs.

Regarding this, Jia Gong was thoughtful. If Dakang really replaced Daming, perhaps these things would not be surprising.

After the Ming Dynasty, there was a period of time in the Little Ice Age. The weather was suddenly cold, and the crop production was reduced. Those ordinary people could not survive, so they would naturally look for a way out, and Qiangliang might have no choice but to choose.

"This mountain is opened by me~"
