The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

Chapter 219
On March 27, the second day after the Lin family's fleet left Changzhou, King An raised the flag of rebellion.The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River fell into chaos.

"What did you say?"

People in the streets and alleys of Xuanzhou City were panicked, and a man with a chubby face asked with wide-eyed eyes.

The short-bearded man opposite him said mysteriously, "I also heard people say that the Xingyang man was jealous of King An's virtuous name, so he blamed King An for the collapse of the Wolong embankment. Ask King An to blame."

The fat, round-faced man stared wide-eyed, shaking the fat on his face, "Wolongdi is in Raozhou, far away from Wolongdi."

The man with the face of Shen Zi sighed, "Whoever this matter falls on, whoever has to stand up and ask for an explanation."

"Bah!" said the beggar, who was biting a rejuvenated willow branch and smashing it, "what can I say, he is rebelling. After all, King An is the uncle of Long Live, how should the nine clans of his family be punished?" ?”

"That's right, if you want to be punished, are they all relatives of the emperor?"

People on the street turned their heads and began to count how many branches of King An's nine clans overlapped with today's nine clans. Shen Zi was so angry that he scratched his face at the wall, "You haven't seen King An, you should have seen it, son of King An Right? How could a fairy-like figure like Prince An risk the displeasure of the world..."

Before he finished speaking, someone ran and shouted from outside the alley, "Go to Sanshan Academy quickly, Mr. Dongzhu has something important to say."

"Let's go, let's go!" As soon as they heard the commotion, everyone jumped up and ran, not caring to wipe off the dirt on their bodies.

When they ran to Sanshan Academy, there was already a sea of ​​people at the entrance of the academy, and they couldn't squeeze in. They could only stand on their feet and look forward desperately.

Someone rang a few bells on the raised platform, and after the scene fell silent, Mr. Dongzhu, dressed in a light gray robe, stepped onto the platform, bowed his hands to everyone, and shouted.

The beggar biting the willow branch scratched his head anxiously, "I can't hear a single word of what the master is talking about."

Trying to stand on tiptoe but can only see the fat man with a round face on the back of the head of the person in front, and he was very anxious, "That's right, hey, brothers in front, what did you say, sir?"

"Stop making noise, it's annoying!"

"..."

In the midst of the noise, there was suddenly an angry curse from the front, and the people behind were even more anxious, "What did you say, sir, why are you still cursing?"

After Mr. Dongzhu finished speaking and left, the news from the front finally spread to the back, "Mr. Dongzhu said that the person who kidnapped him from Wusha Town last year and wanted to kill him later was sent by Prince An's Mansion. If you don't believe me, you can go to From the front, Mr. Dongzhu posted a call to action on the outer wall of the academy to reveal the truth of the incident."

The people behind were stunned for a moment, and then exploded with a "wow".

The man with a Shen face frowned, "Impossible, Wang An is very good, what are you doing arresting Mr. Dongzhu?"

The chubby-faced man looked excited, "The proclamation has been posted, so don't you believe the words of the number one hermit in the six states? I'll go and see!"

"Brothers, brothers... The Yamen has also posted an official document to crusade against King An, and listed the sixteen major crimes committed by King An."

Before the excitement here was over, there was another thunderclap from the crowd.

"Pooh!"

The beggar with the willow branch spat out the willow branch and ran to the Xuanzhou Yamen.After running to the Xuanzhou yamen covered in sweat, I found out that there was a sea of ​​people outside the yamen.

Only after he squeezed in did he realize that the official document posted by the yamen was the "Warning for the King of Peace" written by Mr. Dong Zhu, the number one hermit in the six prefectures.

This lap is a waste of time...

In half a day's time, King An's crimes spread throughout the streets and alleys of Xuanzhou City, and the voices of the people scolding King An were everywhere.Even the man with the face of Shen Zi, who witnessed the demeanor of Prince An's son last year, began to put his hips on his hips at this moment, cursing Prince An's father and son for being human-faced and beast-hearted.

Similar scenes were staged in various counties of Xuanzhou. The good reputation accumulated by Wang An and his son for more than ten years was destroyed by Mr. Dongzhu's "Warning for the King of An".

Contrary to Xuanzhou, the voices of dissatisfaction for King An and his son in Hezhou prevailed.It was also in this atmosphere that the fleet of the Lin family and the Liangdao Escort entered the waters controlled by the Hezhou Yamen and was stopped by the Yamen.

Father Lin took Shen Ge and Lu Daoliang off the boat, and saluted the officer politely with a smile, but before Father Lin could speak, the officer's eyes widened.

"Are you blind? Didn't you see the notice posted by the yamen? An Wang rebelled, and the Yangtze River is under martial law. You wait to stop the boat and accept the inspection!"

More than a dozen officials on the bank followed suit and asked the big boat to put down the board.

Lin Quan stepped forward and gave the leading officer a silver coin, and the officer stuffed the silver into his sleeve, and his face improved a lot, "This is an order from the prefect himself, and there is nothing we can do about it."

"Yes, the official is tired." Lin's father smiled and handed over the Lin family's boat ticket, "Caomin is from Xuanzhou, and there are four boats to transport food, cloth, and wood back from Changzhou. They hired four escorts from Liangdao. Ship escort, please check."

During the inspection by the officials, Lin's father stood beside him neither humble nor overbearing, and let the vicious yamen servants scrutinize and evaluate the price.

Lin's father, who travels around all year round to do business, is not afraid of officials being corrupt, so he just feeds some money.

"Crack." The officer closed the ticket, rolled his eyes to look at the big ship, "there is no problem with the ticket, I want to board the ship, and inspect the goods with the ticket."

"Hurry up, didn't you hear what my lord said?"

"Hurry up and put the board!"

The yamen officers behind the officer yelled five times and shouted six times. Father Lin and the others had encountered this scene several times along the road, and they already had experience in dealing with it.

When Lin's father calmly ordered people to release the boards, Shen Ge stepped forward and gave the officer a bank note without any trace, and asked for instructions solemnly, "Sir, do you want to inspect groceries such as grain, cloth, or wood?"

There are too many goods on the ship, and if there are only a few government officials to inspect them all, it may take five days to inspect them all.Therefore, according to the more established rules, a few samples will be randomly checked at once, and as long as they can be matched with the account books, they can be released.

The messenger took the money, and of course he was very talkative, so he ordered the big boat of cloth.After some inspection (accepting bribes), the officer with his sleeves full took people off the boat, and was about to order them to let them go when they heard someone shouting loudly.

"Wait a minute!"

Shen Ge stepped forward and whispered in his father-in-law's ear, "The person here is Zheng Yongfu, secretary of Hezhou Sicang, a member of King An. His nephew Zheng Changming has some friendship with my son-in-law, and my son-in-law has sent someone to invite him .”

Father Lin nodded slightly, "Play by ear, if it doesn't work, let's show the sign, try not to do anything, and make money with peace."

"Yes." Shen Ge agreed.

Zheng Yongfu took the reins of the horse, glanced at Lin Ru and Lu Daoliang, paused on Shen Ge for a moment, and said with a sullen face, "I received a secret report that these boats were used to transport money and food for the rebels, and all of them will be detained." !"

"Yes!" Zheng Yongfu brought dozens of copycats who were about to step forward to take them.

Being detained by you, you will really become the one who helps the rebels deliver money and food.Shen Ge and Lu Daoliang stepped forward and blocked Father Lin.

Father Lin saluted Zheng Yongfu calmly, "My lord, please take a step to speak."

Zheng Yongfu, who was determined to win, stared, "What are you doing in a daze, if you don't let me take it down!"
