Headwind of the Red Mansion

Chapter 51

Ningguofu Tianxiang Building
The ground is full of yellow flowers, the small bridge on the cross slope of the white willow leads to the Ruoye River, the winding path connects to the road to the roof, the clear stream flows through the rocks, the fences are fragrant, the red leaves on the tops of the trees are fluttering, and the sparse forest is picturesque.

Jia Lian, a handsome young man facing the wind in Yushu, has no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him. His brows are full of anxiety and uneasiness, and he climbs up the stairs to Tianxiang Tower.

Hiding in the dark, Jia Zhen fell into deep thought, clenched her fists for a while, her veins twitched violently, she saw a figure flashing in like a frightened bird, she couldn't help shivering, she was relieved to see that it was Jia Lian, after all, she felt sorry for each other.

"Brother Lian, sit down!"

"Brother Zhen, are we about to face a catastrophe?!" Jia Lian couldn't help trembling slightly after sitting down.

"If Ma Shang confesses us, whether it's reselling the sharp gun case, collaborating with the enemy, smuggling, or even associating with foreign officials, it will be a serious crime..." Jia Zhen raised her eyes and said quietly, "If the sage is serious, it is even possible to ransack the house."

"Ah?!" Jia Lian almost slipped from the board, his face pale.

"However, after thinking about it carefully, Ma Shang has implicated many people, even including the prince and county king. Once it is revealed, wouldn't it break the sky?!"

"Brother Zhen, what do you mean, the tall man will be responsible for the accident?!" Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, "I hope it can be ignored."

"However, our loss is too great. These thousand Mongolian war horses, plus orchids, 10 taels of silver?! It's completely ruined!"

"Brother Zhen, I spent 3 taels of my own money from the old man. If I can't fill this hole, I will be beaten to death by the old man!" Jia Lian looked up at Jia Zhen cautiously, and said with difficulty, "Can you take the [-] yuan?" Give me the money?!"

The elder Jia Lian was referring to was Jia She, the hereditary first-class general of the Rongguo Mansion, his biological father.

After Wu Yin in the Jia family advocated violent education, the men grew up being beaten when they were young. Even if Jia Lian had married, he was easily beaten by Jia Amnesty.

"Brother Lian, I also lost 4 taels?!" Jia Zhen felt as if a piece of flesh had been gouged out, and she was in burning pain. The surface of the fecal egg is shiny.

Nowadays, the population is increasing, the affairs are flourishing, masters and servants, there are many rich and honorable people, and there is no one who plans and plans, and their daily expenses cannot be frugal. The inner capsule is also exhausted.

It was only then that I boldly prepared to make a shortfall in subsidies, but I never thought about it, and an additional 4 taels of shortfall was added. Who am I going to ask? ! "

"No, I have to go and hide. Uncle Lin Ruhai's health is not very good. I will send Daiyu back to Yangzhou in a few days." Jia Lian fanned her peach blossom eyes full of melancholy, "Otherwise, 3 taels of shortfall?! You have to die Peel off the skin!"

The two were silent for a moment.

"The origin of the matter is actually Brother Qiang. He may not even know that this time he stabbed a hornet's nest?! Apart from us, he also offended three Dukes at once, and the Governor's mansion was directly uprooted!"

Jia Lian broke the silence and sighed, "After all, the root cause is Brother Zhen. If he hadn't given him a real shortage of thousands of households and attacked the Black Wind Valley, such a thing would not have happened!"

"Brother Lian, let's stop blaming each other at this moment, let's work together to overcome the current difficulties..."

Jia Zhen looked gloomy, "If something happens, I have no choice but to ask the old lady to go to the palace to ask the empress dowager. After all, the old man is nostalgic, so maybe he can escape this disaster.

As for the loss of 10 taels of silver, I can only knock down my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.

We should pray to the Buddha to bless these war horses, it is better to be robbed by bandits, disappear out of thin air, lose money and make money, and copy everything at home! "

Then he raised his eyes to look at the dark sky outside the window, his black hole-like eyes were full of hatred and hatred, "As for Jia Qiang, a rebellious person, no matter how high he jumps, I will make him fall like hell!"

"Brother Zhen is speaking out of anger, or is he really going to punish him?" Jia Lian was shocked, and then persuaded, "After all, he didn't intend to arrest Ma Shang!"

"He is a rebellious and rebellious person, and this loss must be counted on him!

Just wait, I will use a little trick, not only let him fight back to his original shape, but also fall into the pit and never get up again! "

A glint of light flashed in Jia Zhen's eyes, and she said with hatred in her heart, "The price of 10 taels of silver is too high to get Qin Keqing. Only by beating her fiercely can I vent my boundless anger!"

……

That night.

Daming Palace Imperial Study Room.

"I didn't expect that the little guy released a shocking thunder as soon as he made a move?!"

The long-lost hearty laughter of Emperor Taiping reverberated in the hall for a while, and the copper bells swaying in the wind seemed particularly pleasant to the ear.

"It didn't cost a single soldier to kill six hundred Mingjiao elites and one of the four guardians with flying thunder cannons. These rats in the gutter were killed well! They also got a million taels of silver and more than a hundred thousand shi of grain .”

Wang Qiong was bold, lowered his eyebrows and said to Ai Qiqi: "Long Live Lord, Mr. Jia Qian said, this is a spoil of war, half of the money will be kept, and the food will also go to the Wolf Warrior Camp!"

"Mr. Jia Qian also said that the money is the public money of the Wolf Warrior Camp, and the water will flow for a long time. When the food and salary cannot be met, they can be self-sufficient!"

"Bastard, you only think about your own one-acre three-point land all day long!"

Emperor Taiping was annoyed and funny, "Let him go, I've finally left half of it for me, and the Wolf Warrior Camp is still mys, and the silver and rations are not considered private."

……

"This ball is really lawless, and it directly killed Ma Shang's [-]-person barracks without warning?"

Listening to Wang Qiong's soul-stirring backtracking, Xu Qian looked surprised, but his brows were filled with admiration, "It's really a biting dog that doesn't bark. It's bold and dark, decisive, and directly kills possible risks!"

"As I said, he only has pros and cons in his eyes, and he can make the most favorable judgment in the shortest time."

Emperor Taiping continued, "Compared to the millions of people in Ping'an Prefecture, 300 people are almost negligible, and these soldiers are all Ma Shang's dead soldiers!

This son's methods are rampant.

Lian Zhen didn't expect that this son would act like a bandit, kidnapping the descendants of a lord in Ping'an Prefecture, and then using this as a threat to escort him out of the city!

Fortunately, I even gave him the Son of Heaven Sword, and passed it on to those who lost me! "

The voice was reproachful, but there was a smug smile on his face, as if Jia Qiang was his personal disciple.

Ping'an Prefecture links Jiubian and Gyeonggi, and it is a central existence with a very high strategic position.

Emperor Taiping also knew about Ma Shang's many nasty actions, and even killed the Jin Yiwei who was investigating the case.

This is a mobilization of the whole body, and the consequences are unimaginable.

"This guy has a big picture... His actions are very purposeful, and he will use any means. Whether it is bombarding and killing the guards, or kidnapping a group of young masters, it is just to tie the tiger out of the forest, and even steal the letter of the tiger talisman."

Xu Qian's appreciation was palpable, "That's why we pulled out a nail at the least cost and put Feng Tang'an in Ji Town without bloodshed, even the minister breathed a sigh of relief!

"Not only that! Nowadays, there are many disaster victims and the national treasury is empty. Ma Shang's house was raided, and he had to fill in several million taels of silver?" Emperor Taiping smiled comfortably.

"If you can pull out the other nails on Nine Sides, Daganbian Town will be safe, and by the way, a few more houses will be copied, and even the danger to the national treasury will be alleviated, and Long Live Lord will be able to sleep well!"

Xu Qian laughed and said, "This time, Jia Qiang has made a great contribution, how does Long Live Lord plan to reward him?"

Emperor Taiping gave him a wink, and Wang Qiong and others withdrew.

"If there are a few more Jia Qiangs, it will be just around the corner to restore the glory of the ancestors?! The Ministry of War, the Beijing Camp, and the Nine Gates all need such young tigers."

Emperor Taiping pondered, "I don't want to put him to death, so I just set up a new Longjinwei town demon division, from the fourth rank, directly obey my mobile imperial guards, and specialize in investigating major and important cases of various court officials. "

Immediately, the two exchanged whispers, and then the two old foxes laughed triumphantly.

"Alas..." Xu Qian sighed inexplicably, pointing out something, "It's a pity that he's engaged... otherwise the bondage will be even tighter!"

"I have considerations."

Emperor Taiping pondered, "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. According to the regulations, the queen will lead the wives of officials from the fourth rank and above to worship... Even if you are not married, you can make an exception to participate as a fiancée, and maybe you can give him a big gift. "

……

At this time, Dai Quan came in lightly, looking a little flustered.

"Say!" Emperor Taiping shouted lightly.

"Long Live Lord, Ma Shang... committed suicide by taking poison!" Dai Quan said.

"???" Xu Qian was dumbfounded.

"Boom!" Tai Ping's face was furious, and he said through gritted teeth, "Too much deceit and lawlessness!"

"Long Live Lord, it's not necessarily a bad thing..." Xu Qian said quietly, "I'm still worried that this Ma Shang dumped beans in a bamboo tube, which would involve a lot of people.

It is reported that only the smuggling of sharp guns and horses also involves the Ningguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion, Liguo Mansion, and Qi State Mansion. Our current strength can't handle it? !

Once they are all poked out, it will be hard to get off at that time.

If you don't deal with it, you will lose your face.

Large-scale disposal may cause drastic changes.

It is better to cut off one than to hurt ten fingers, the government of the country will be uprooted, and Ping'an Prefecture will be safe, which is already the greatest harvest!

To deal with these rogues, we have to stew the frogs in warm water and knock them out one by one. "

"Ma Shang's poison, was it given by that Zhu Zi?" A gleam flashed in Emperor Taiping's eyes, "Is he trying to protect Jia's family, or is he psychically calculating a long way?"

　Back to Beijing!
