Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 109
Water Transport Yamen,

above the lobby.

Dong Wan, a hundred households of the Water Transport Guards, also stood there with a heavy heart, unable to speak, and it was inconvenient to speak.

Li Cong, the commander of the Water Transport Guards, saw this scene and knew that there must be something else hidden in it.

"Dong Wan, come in with me and talk."

Li Cong turned and entered the inner hall, Dong Wan followed closely behind, Qian Ke also wanted to enter, but was stopped by soldiers.

After entering the inner hall, Li Cong asked,
"Old Wan, what happened?"

Dong Wan stopped and looked behind him, seeing that no one was following him, he whispered,
"My lord, I went directly to the yamen to inquire clearly. This morning Luo Yunhou wanted to buy some farm property and planned to buy some properties in Fuling, so he sent someone to ask the people in the yamen's office."

Li Cong didn't understand what he said, it's normal, most of the properties in Fuling County and the Zhuangzi outside were bought by nobles in the capital, it's normal for Marquis Luo Yun to want to buy, how could it end up like this.

"Well, how do you say it? It's not a big deal to buy some Zhuangzi. Why are the two families getting involved?"

"Returning to my lord, this is the key point. The Zhuangzi bought by Luo Yunhou in the morning is exactly the Zhuangzi bought by the Jia family last year. It has not been touched, and the five places are still the same."

Li Cong is also a bit confused, whether he can sell this land or Luo Yunhou directly grabs it.

"You mean that Marquis Luo Yun didn't spend money to rob it? No way, how could such a thing be possible? It's still said that there are two sales in one place at the Yamen Bank."

"No no, my lord, Luo Yunhou spent 50 taels to buy it, and there is a land deed. The people of Jia's Jia family didn't spend money to buy it, and they didn't have a land deed. They spent more than a year in vain."

"what!"

After Li Cong heard it, it was unbelievable. It is really shameful that the Jia family can do such a thing, but people have to ask.

"You must have inquired clearly. There can be no mistakes here. You know the dangers inside. Now that the two families are on the same page, find a way to make peace."

Dong Wan didn't dare to intervene, after all, it's all about Xungui's internal affairs, it's not something that a small family like him can ask,
"My lord, it's absolutely true. The master secretary in the yamen handled it personally. As for how to make peace, my lord, I really don't know about the lowly position. I think Luo Yunhou will give face to Jia's mansion in the capital."

"This, not necessarily!"

Li Cong shook his head helplessly, then went to the governor Shen Xueshi to make peace, but after thinking about it, the governor of Heyun is now thinking about how to install the direct line and suppress the former governor, and there is a lot of trouble, so he went by himself, but there are no people inside and outside Yes, thinking of this moment is embarrassing.

Dong Wan saw that his lord was frowning, so he persuaded,
"My lord, we can't just ignore it. Besides, the rightful master of the Jia family is not here, so we can't talk."

"That's the reason, but the person outside came to ask for help. Besides, the relationship between me and Jia's family must not stand idly by. I'll go over and see if I can save him first,"

"How many people will your lord bring?"

Li Cong just raised his legs and paused, and said casually,
"Bring a thousand-man guard and hold on to the scene. You can really fight against him. It's not enough for others to get stuck in their teeth."

"It's an adult, I'll arrange it now."

When the two came out of the back hall, Qian Ke couldn't wait to go up and ask,
"My lord, time waits for no one, hurry up and save people."

"Understood, why are you so anxious, why don't you just leave now."

"Yes, thank you sir."

A few people went out of the Yamen without delay, and the guards on duty quickly assembled and stood by.

"Set off"

With one command,
Li Cong rode on his horse and walked slowly towards the south of the city. It turned out that the soldiers of the water transport guards were all infantry, and only generals were equipped with horses. When I ordered someone, I asked anxiously,
"My lord, can we succeed with such a small number of people? The other party has three thousand cavalry."

Li Cong glared at him,
"What are you talking about here? What are we going to do? We are here to make peace, not to fight. Even if there are ten times more people like this, we still can't beat the frontier army."

"It's the adults, it's the little Meng Lang."

Qian Ke was a little desperate. It seemed that Marquis Luo Yun was here for Jia's mansion, obviously out of deliberate revenge, but he didn't know where he had offended Lord Marquis. Now it's only a small number of people who go there, I'm afraid they will return in vain.

Li Cong didn't care about Qian Ke, a small person, but was still thinking about whether he could use this opportunity to connect with Luo Yunhou, firstly, whether he could join the new governor through Lord Hou and avoid the lord Tongzhi.

Secondly, the people outside the customs are very rich, and I can set up a caravan to do some business in the future, but it is also dangerous, maybe one day I will be patronized by the Jurchen, and I will lose everything.

What's more, his elder brother Shen Xueshi, the governor, has always wanted to liquidate his predecessors, and his immediate boss, Tongzhi, is hard to keep his seat now.

Li Cong gritted his teeth, seeking wealth and wealth, I don't believe that Li Congsheng can't go up.

And Zhang Jinyu was there, and took a new set of tea sets to make tea there. He didn't learn anything else when he came to Dawu, but he was already proficient in drinking tea, and he had also learned the art of tea.

The screams from the school grounds also weakened a lot, the servants had been beaten to pieces, and they were in great pain.

"Old Duan, how is the interrogation going, have you been recruited?"

"Back to Lord Hou, it's really not true, it's just that their master is good at playing with women, and killed many people, especially the mansion of Ning Guogong, who played all kinds of tricks, but this conspiracy is different."

"Nonsense, of course I know if I don't, who cares about Mr. Ning and Mr. Guo, let's vent our anger first."

"It's Lord Hou, it's about the same, if you beat him again, you will die, too many deaths are not easy to explain."

"Okay, go to the city and ask the doctor to come, bandage them up and take them on the road together tomorrow."

"Order."

Duan Hong immediately ran out to convey the order.

At this time, from the north of Zhuangzi, the soldiers of the Water Transport Guard came over lazily, and were stopped by the Pioneer Battalion as soon as they arrived at Zhuangzikou.

"Who is it? This is Luo Yunhou's Zhuangzi, outsiders are not allowed to enter."

"Who said it belonged to you, it's obviously from the Jia family."

Qian Ke yelled angrily, Li Cong also kept silent, wanting to see the reaction of the soldiers outside the pass.

Who knew that when the sergeant of the vanguard battalion heard the other party's answer, they thought they were looking for trouble, and immediately shouted;
"alert,"

With a huff, 1000 cavalrymen ran out from behind and stood guard not far away.

Li Cong didn't expect the other party to be so domineering, so he hurriedly said;
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, brothers, misunderstanding."

A captain of the Pioneer Battalion asked,
"Which part are you from, and why are you here?"

"Little General, I am Li Cong, Commander of the Guards of the Water Transport Yamen. This time, I came to visit Luo Yunhou to make peace. Please pass it on. Thank you."

The captain looked at it and couldn't refuse, since he was a general after all, so he nodded in agreement.

Zhang Jinyu was drinking tea and heard the school captain's biography, saying that the general of the Water Transport Yamen led thousands of people here and wanted to see her.

Zhang Jinyu thought to herself that they came so soon, the Jia family is amazing, and they are so popular.

So I ordered the captain to bring the general over here. Of course, the soldiers were kept outside and were not allowed to enter. The captain took the order and left.

Li Cong, who was waiting there, was not idle. He stared at Luo Yunhou's cavalry, and saw that every soldier was full of energy, and the standard armor was even thicker and more handsome. The small round shield and the long-handled scimitar, this equipment is all piled up with money, Luo Yunhou is amazing.

Before I finished watching, I saw the former captain come back,

"How is the little general?"

"Go back to General Li, Lord Hou agreed, but only General Li is allowed to enter."

"Okay, this will be over, you stay here and wait."

Just as he was about to leave, Dong Wan held him back. Looking at his confidant's questioning eyes, Li Cong shook his head. Dong Wan understood what the general meant and let go of his hands.

"May I ask where Lord Hou is?"

"The innermost sun-drying field."

"Thanks. Brother."

Li Cong ran over on his own on a horse. The sun-drying field was not far away, but there were too many people, and they were all beaten and howled there. Li Cong was shocked when he saw it. This is Luo Yunhou Dead hand, is there something I don't know about it, then I have to be careful.

Li Cong got off his horse quickly, and saw a young general lying there from a long distance away, he must be Luo Yunhou, so he ran over and shouted,
"Luo Yunhou, the last general is Li Cong, the commander of the guards of the Water Transport Yamen, see Lord Hou."

Before the people arrived, the etiquette arrived first. Zhang Jinyu looked into the distance, and a man who was not burly ran over slowly.

When the person came in front of him, Li Cong gasped fiercely and said out of breath;
"Master Hou, forgive me, forgive me, the last general has been in water transportation for a long time, and neglected the skills on the road. This is a shame."

"It's okay, it's good that General Li is here, sit down and have a sip of tea, it's just brewed."

Zhang Jinyu poured a bowl of tea and handed it over, but Li Cong was not polite, he was really thirsty, and he was almost out of breath after running this short distance.

"What is General Li doing here?"

Li Cong didn't dare to play tricks and replied directly,
"It's for Lord Hou and Jia's family to make peace."

Zhang Jinyu didn't speak, just drinking tea quietly there, Li Cong was a little at a loss when he saw it, it was broken, something really happened here.
