Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 111 The Breakthrough of Water Transport
Flingshire,
Nancheng Zhuangzi, the sun-drying field, the weather is acceptable.

The cold wind continued to blow, and Li Cong felt that he had said the wrong thing, and his heart sank. He immediately changed his words and explained the purpose of coming. He came to seek refuge with Lord Hou and the Governor, and hoped that Lord Hou would give him a chance.

And to ensure that he sincerely took refuge in him and had no other intentions, Li Cong still looked at Lord Hou with some uneasiness.

Seeing General Li's transformation, Zhang Jinyu guessed that it was almost the same, so he warmly invited Li Cong to sit down and drink tea. Li Cong felt flattered, thanked him again and again, and put his heart down

"Hou Ye is so generous and refreshing. The last general, Li Cong, is a big bastard, and he likes a superior like Hou Ye."

Zhang Jinyu smiled and didn't say a word, and touched a bowl with General Li with tea instead of wine.

"General Li is also a person who misses old love. He is also a wonderful person to come here under such circumstances. Tell me the truth, this Jia family has such great energy. A servant can let you command a fifth-grade person." come here?"

Li Cong listened carefully at the side, and when Master Hou said this, Li Cong also gave a wry smile,
"Master Hou, the Jia family is an old and honorable family. There are two princes from the same family. They were supposed to be crowned kings, but they didn't want them. Besides, Lord Hou, my fifth-rank commanders are in the eyes of others. It's a fart, their old students go to ask for officials, at least they are from the sixth grade. If I didn't come today, I might be slapped after this incident. My immediate boss, the Tongzhi of the Water Transport Yamen, is from the Jia family Former student and official."

Zhang Jinyu didn't expect that a general of the Water Transport Guards would be able to roll it off if he said that he could roll it off. It's true or not. This is not something that can be done with simple strength. The difficulty of crossing systems is the same.

"No, the water transport guards and the local garrisons are not in the same system. How can the Jia family's hands stretch so long?"

"Master Hou, not to mention the water transportation guards, even the Beijing camp is no problem, the Jia family can do whatever they want!"

"What about this?"

Facing Lord Hou's questioning, Li Cong had to speak in detail.

"Your Majesty doesn't know? Then the old Duke of the Jia family was once the Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp, and the current Jiedu envoy is now the Jia family's in-laws. Among other things, ordinary people like the Jingying Jiedu envoy are not afraid of it." !"

Zhang Jinyu clicked her tongue after listening to Li Cong's explanation. The Jia family can do it. It's really amazing to open the door. It's so powerful that it shows that the Jia family still has brains leading the way, otherwise it wouldn't be so rampant. There are so many back-ups, and there are so many women, and the feudal society relies on this.

But things have already been done, and hatred is also there. You can do what you want, and you will get him today. Zhang Jinyu is not afraid at all. Without military power, you are a tiger without teeth. The Jia family may rule the roost for a while, but they will never dominate forever. of.

"General Li, come and drink tea."

Zhang Jinyu and Li Cong touched each other's bowl of tea and drank it again, not to mention another taste.

Li Cong asked tentatively after drinking the tea,
"What is Hou Ye going to do?"

"Then what are your plans?"

"Here, don't you listen to Lord Hou? If you want to let me go, I will talk about this matter. If you don't let go, I will find a way to delay Jia's family and make sure to reduce the impact of this matter. Besides, I still want to see Hou today. Lord, I also want to vote under Governor Shen, and I hope Hou Ye can lead a bridge, and I will thank you here at the end."

Zhang Jinyu laughed, he never expected to meet General Li, such a wonderful person here.

Li Cong smiled wryly and was speechless, hey.

"Li Cong, let me put it this way, I don't care about other nobles. It doesn't matter if anyone from his Jia family comes. I understand that this Marquis is targeting him! As for Brother Shen, it's easy to say, I will give you a Tiaozi, you go find him, but General Li, you have to understand that it never ends well for someone who cheats on others."

Li Cong heard the implication, his own affairs have settled down, the matter of Lord Hou and Jia's family is something inside, so he asked cautiously again,
"Master Hou, at the end of the day, you will understand that you will be united with the Governor-General of Lord Hou in the future. Then Lord Hou, do you have an enmity with the Jia family?"

"Of course, if you don't mess with Jia's family, it's hard to solve the hatred in my heart."

When Zhang Jinyu thought of what happened in Jinling back then, he gritted his teeth with hatred, wishing to arrest all the people in Jia's mansion and whip them.

Seeing Lord Hou's angry look, Li Cong was also a little confused. If this thing is broken, the Jia family can do enough to offend people everywhere.

"Master Hou calm down, calm down. It's no wonder, what is Master Hou going to do? I still have a person from Jia's mansion over there,"

"It's up to him. There's no need to make it difficult for you. I'll ask the doctor to bandage them and they won't die."

"Thank you, Lord."

The two chatted there for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Li Cong hurriedly said goodbye and went back. Zhang Jinyu didn't keep him, so he wrote a note on the spot and handed it over. Li Cong thanked him again.

The doctor in Fuling County also came to give the housekeepers a simple bandage and was taken into custody. Zhang Jinyu was going to go back to rest, and asked Duan Hong to stay with Zhuangzi and set off together tomorrow.

When Li Cong returned to his team, Qian Ke hurriedly asked,
"How is your lord doing?"

"I just stabilized Lord Hou first, and I also promised to be treated by the doctor. My life is safe now, but people can't save me?"

"Then what can we do?"

"What's the hurry, you ride back to Beijing immediately and explain the situation to Jia's family, and ask Jia's family to take action, there will be no other way."

"Well, that's fine, I'll leave overnight."

After Qian Ke finished speaking, she turned her head and was about to leave. Li Cong stopped her first when she saw her.
"Wait a minute, someone give Qian Ke a horse."

After finishing speaking, the sergeant moved a group of rough horses, Qian Ke took the reins and turned on the horses and clasped his fists.

"Thank you, General Li, I will tell the old lady truthfully about what happened today."

"Success, Qian Zhuangshi walks slowly. I won't see you off."

"Drive, drive!"

Qian Ke went straight to the capital without looking back.

Seeing Qian Ke walking away, Li Cong led the guards back to the yamen, Dong Wan came over and asked quietly;
"My lord, is it really impossible to save him?"

Li Cong glanced at his confidant, nodded,

"Nonsense, it really won't work this time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Jia family this time."

"No way, isn't it just a matter of Zhuangzi?"

"What about other than Zhuangzi?"

Li Cong said it in a low voice, Dong Wan was silent when he heard it, the Jia family really is, this is a real powerful official in the frontier, Jia's family can also offend such a person.

"We don't need to ask about this matter, let's think about our own affairs."

After speaking, he touched the note in his arms, which made him feel more at ease.

When everyone returned to the yamen, Li Cong ignored the others, and directly brought Dong Wan to buy a large number of gifts, and arrived at Shen Xueshi's mansion overnight.

Knocked on the door and handed over the greeting card and waited outside the door.

Shen Xueshi had just finished his dinner and was walking in the yard to digest his food, when he heard the announcement from the concierge,

"My lord, Li Cong, commander of the guards of the Water Transport Yamen, pays a visit."

Shen Xueshi's eyes flashed brightly, and he had a good heart.

"Ask him to go to the study."

"It's my lord."

The concierge didn't dare to delay, so he went back immediately to communicate.

And Shen Xueshi straightened his clothes and went to the study. Li Cong, who was still waiting at the door, was also uneasy, thinking a lot, thinking about the future.

He looked up and saw that the concierge in the mansion had come back, so he stopped thinking about it, Master Hou was right, there is no good end to eating inside and outside.

"General Li, please come in, the master is waiting in the study."

"Okay, thanks for your help."

After speaking, he handed over the scattered silver, and the concierge touched it in his hand and smiled happily.

Li Cong took the gift from Dong Wan and entered the mansion. Shen's mansion is also second to none in Fuling County, covering a huge area and extremely rich. After walking several turns, he came to an inconspicuous courtyard. , This is the famous Liyuan Study Room of Shen Junshou.

Li Cong stabilized his mind outside the yard before walking in.

After entering the yard, he didn't care to admire the exotic flowers in the yard, so he ran directly to the study room, and when he arrived at the study room, he knocked lightly on the door three times.

Shen Xueshi's voice came from the room,

"Come in."

After Li Cong went in, he put down the gift, then knelt down on the ground,
"Li Cong, the last general, please refer to the governor."

Shen Xueshi didn't expect Li Cong to be so docile, this little brother is really amazing, Shen Xueshi still praised Zhang Jinyu's help in a timely manner.

"Get up, why have you met my little brother Luo Yunhou?"

"It's my lord. I have admired Luo Yunhou for a long time, and I only got my wish today. I also thank you, the governor, for your care."

After Shen Xueshi listened, he raised his eyes and looked up, winking, he is a smart man.

"General Li has made up his mind about coming to the door today, are you sure you want to follow the old man?"

How could Li Cong dare to be half-hearted and just bow again,
"My lord, how dare you have other ideas in a lowly position. If your lord thinks highly of me, you will definitely devote yourself to your lord's end."

"Okay, I, Shen Xueshi, will take you in. The first thing is to gather the guards in the middle section of the water transport. I now order you to be the commander of the guards in the middle section of the water transport. Do you have confidence?"

After hearing this, Li Cong couldn't believe his ears. This was a direct promotion, and he had long since seen that the other commanders and colleagues were not pleasing to the eye.

"Thank you, Governor, for your promotion, and the last general will take the order. Let's take a look, my lord."

Seeing Li Cong's full confidence, Shen Xueshi was also very pleased, and finally opened the gap. This water transport will eventually be surnamed Shen. Thinking of those stubborn old people, Shen Xueshi snorted coldly in his heart.

Looking at Li Cong who was kneeling on the ground, this is also the way of the mouse.

"Get up, this matter must be kept secret, those guards are also very complicated, you should be careful and don't talk about it."

"Thank you for your concern. Your Excellency may be afraid of other places. This place in the middle of the canal has lived here for three generations. There will be no mistakes."

"That's good, you can do it tonight without any hesitation."

Li Cong was shocked, so fast, the governor is also a ruthless person.

"The order of the last general."

"Go, there are Luo Yunhou's men and horses outside the city to cover, and you will directly lead your troops to take over the wharf guard camp."

After receiving the order, Li Cong left the mansion and returned to the Yamen, and once again assembled 3000 soldiers under his command.

Without saying a word, he left the Yamen.
