Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 295
Zhang Jinyu sat on the seat with a silent expression, and was shocked when he heard the words.

I really don't know about the Zhen family, I never thought that there is such a relationship, then Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong is the son-in-law of the Zhen family, no wonder it is so.

The Zhen family really knows how to hide, they are so rich, they can climb up to any kind of love and relatives, they are really big guys hiding under the water, the emperor has tolerated the Zhen family so far, uh, Zhang Jinyu thought of the emperor again And the old concubine, it is also difficult for the emperor.

In other words, King Beijing's hand is long enough, and there are people from the north to the south. If you say such a capable prince, other people can't be afraid.

It's just that I want to mess with the King of Beijing,
I don't know what Dongping County King will do. This guy is not easy to get along with. When I think back to Chunlou, that lonely and cold-faced young man is a character.

The salt merchants didn't know who belonged to him, so when they came back, they ransacked their homes, and they were not allowed to reduce or reduce their spirits.

"Understood, mother, I still underestimated the Zhen family's pursuit."

"Okay, when you meet these aristocratic families, you must be careful. A hundred years of inheritance is the way to rely on it. It's getting late, Yue'er, Shu'er change clothes."

Mrs. Wang could see it, the aristocratic family relied on tricks and winks, she went back to the inner room to change clothes, and was ready to go to Zhen's mansion for a banquet.

Zhang Jinyu also applied for a lazy body, got up and walked out, then asked Wei Yong to prepare the frame and guards, told him to bring more people, and got off the boat and waited below.

And in Yangzhou City,
Ji Yunhui brought people back to the yamen, but also guarded the door tightly, but suddenly, Master Lin's condition became serious.

This situation frightened Ji Yunhui and Feng Gu, and the two also took turns guarding here, and then called their subordinates to find many doctors to treat Master Lin, but they did not get better after changing the medicine many times, and they were extremely anxious.

"Feng Qianhu, is Master Lin getting better?"

Deputy Feng Qianhu also shook his head,

"My lord, Mr. Lin is still like that. He has never seen good or bad. I have never seen such a humble job."

Ji Yunhui frowned, and glanced outside again, thinking that the imperial envoy should arrive at this time, but why he disappeared, just as he was thinking about it, the spies outside ran over.

"My lord, I have something important to report."

"But the imperial court has arrived."

Ji Yunhui said this casually and asked anxiously.

"Returning to my lord, yes, a sailor from the south of the pier said that the imperial envoy of the capital had already arrived in the south of the Yangtze River and disembarked directly in Jinling. They were also mobilized, and began to arrest the generals of the guards, and even ransacked their homes."

The two confidantes also said it in one sentence, but they stunned the surrounding households. My good fellow, the imperial envoy is strong enough, Ji Yunhui also asked immediately;

"Who is here? Did you hear that?"

"Returning to my lord, I found out that it was Luo Yunhou from outside the pass and his frontier army, as well as the seal of the imperial horse supervisor and his inner guard of the imperial city department. Finally, the water transport guards and water army guards also came."

Ji Yunhui also suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, those who came here were not good people, Luo Yunhou needless to say, he sat on a high position at such a young age, the means are naturally unusual, that is, Eunuch Yang, who is in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, is the chief of the palace One of the leaders, in charge of the elite troops of the twelve guards of the imperial army, was cited as the emperor's confidant. If he came to the south of the Yangtze River together, those people would be terrified to death.

That's not right, why did he suddenly go to Jinling City? Shouldn't he come to Yangzhou directly? There must be something wrong. Thinking of the house guards, he asked again;
"Tell me again, what happened to Lord Hou? Why did you disembark in Jinling?"

The two said without thinking;
"I know, it has been spread all over the place. It is said that on the canal, in Xihe County, a large number of water bandits were encountered, and a fierce battle was fought on the river, and many people died. According to the boat boss who ran the boat , the section of the canal is covered with corpses."

When Ji Yunhui heard the words, his pupils shrank, and he was horrified. Looking at the indifferent faces of the two, he cursed secretly, where is the robbery by water bandits? With so much courage, this is a crime of treason.

I was astonished but also thankful, that day I was only on a large boat with more than a thousand people, if those people stopped me and I was on the water again, I am afraid it would have been a disaster, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat .

"You two have worked hard, go down and have a good rest."

"Yes, my lord."

The two of them bowed their hands together with joy, saluted and left the door.

As soon as the two left, Deputy Feng Qianhu whispered beside him;

"My lord, how do you feel that those water bandits have the guts to attack the fleet of the imperial court navy, but the Jinling raiders guards instead."

"Ahem, Mr. Feng, just understand it in your heart, don't say it."

Ji Yunhui quickly stopped Feng Qianhu's guess, Feng Gu also understood, and immediately kept silent, but he knew in his heart that his guess was right, Master Ji also thought of it.

"Yes, my lord, it's a bit of a lowly job, what should we do next, my lord?"

"Wait, wait for the imperial envoy to go south to Yangzhou, or..."

A trace of worry flashed in Ji Yunhui's eyes,
"If Mr. Lin still doesn't get better within two days, Feng Qianhu, you go to Jinling to meet Luo Yunhou in person, report the situation here to Lord Hou, and ask him to go south quickly. I'll wait here, and you can go by boat. .”

"It's an adult."

Feng Qianhu also nodded resolutely, Mr. Lin's situation is not good, and his wife is even worse.

Jinling,

pier,

Zhang Jinyu rode a tall horse and escorted Wang's carriage to the city. With a large number of bodyguards and personal guards, when he arrived at the gate of the camp, he saw Eunuch Zhao's carriage waiting here. It must be a large number of people from the Imperial City Division. As expected, when I left the camp gate, I saw a large number of cavalry from the Imperial City Division not far behind the carriage waiting there.

"Eunuch Zhao, are you also going to a banquet tonight?"

In the carriage, as soon as Eunuch Zhao Si heard Hou Ye's voice, he grinned, opened the curtain, and replied;
"Hey, isn't this a drag on the good fortune of Master Hou and the old lady? Zajia followed Master Hou to Zhen's house for a meal, and also looked at the characteristics of Jiangnan. They said that the food is not heavy, and Zajia is greedy. Why don't you come along?"

Sure enough, it was Linglong's thoughts. Zhang Jinyu also admired the mouths of these eunuchs. They didn't need an awl to hold the soles of their shoes—it was really easy to pull.

"Okay, Brother Zhao said that I can only say that I will accompany you, so what will Eunuch Zhao plan to talk about when we get there?"

Zhang Jinyu didn't try, and asked directly.

"My lord, didn't I tell you that the miscellaneous family just went to eat, and you are in charge of everything. What needs to be said by the miscellaneous family will be discussed by the miscellaneous family."

Eunuch Zhao is also a bright mirror in his heart. Wherever he is going to eat, he must be talking about things, and he can't intervene. The people who are the Supreme Emperor can die as much or as little as others, and I understand that it is useless for Luo Yunhou to go by himself.

"That's it. Let's go and see how the Jinling Zhen's family banquet is going, please."

Zhang Jinyu also settled down in her heart. When her legs clamped the horse's belly, the two convoys joined together, and then the three flags were erected, and they marched into the city in a mighty manner. The team hurried out of the way.

Looking at it respectfully, there is a look of fear in the eyes, after all, it is different from the soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, looking menacing and cold.

At the West Gate,
The imperial army even greeted the people of the government army to disperse the crowd, and then started punching and kicking a little slowly, which caused complaints from the crowded people at the gate of the city.

Who knew that when the complaining guards heard it, they immediately took out their whips and whipped them, scaring the crowd away.

On the second floor of a restaurant on the street at the gate of the city, Xue's mother, Xue Pan and Baochai were actually sitting in a box here. It turned out that Xue's mother improvised to entertain Xue Yi, Xue Pan's uncle. Today is the day when Second Uncle Xue Pan came back from Suzhou, so I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the matter.

And Xue Yi didn't care too much when he received the letter. After all, after his brother Xue Ren left, the Xue family was not as good as before, and his nephew was even worse, so he couldn't help thinking about it.

But after thinking about it, they are a family after all, so they got off the boat and asked the steward to go back to the mansion to pick up his wife, son and daughter.

On the second floor of the restaurant,

Xue Yi also saluted his sister-in-law;
"Sister-in-law, I am really ashamed to let you spend money and let you clean up my little brother."

When Mother Xue saw her second brother and younger siblings, even Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin, she smiled and said;

"Come on, come in quickly, this is girl Baoqin, I didn't expect her to be so tall."

"Quick, you two are called Auntie."

Xue Yi's daughter-in-law was also urging him.

"Auntie is well."

The two also bowed in unison. Seeing Xue Baochai, she twisted Xue Pan under the table and stood up to salute her second uncle and aunt. Xue Pan also stood up and saluted together without delay.

Xue Yi also said with a smile;

"Okay, it's all a family, sit down quickly."

After all the people were seated, the dishes on the table were all his favorite food. Xue Yi was also startled. Just pay it off.

"Come on, eat quickly. They are Jiangnan dishes that our Xue family loves."

Mother Xue greeted at the side, and Xue Yi also picked up the chopsticks and said;
"Yes, sister-in-law, you can eat too,"

After the two moved their chopsticks, the others began to eat one after another. Xue Pan took a jar of good wine and drank it with his second uncle. .

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xue Yi also put down his chopsticks, took brocade cloth to wipe the corners of his mouth, and tried to ask;

"Sister-in-law, do you have something to say today?"

Mother Xue smiled and said,

"No big deal."

"Sister-in-law, is it the money on the account? Today, my younger brother came back from Suzhou to collect the money, and I will return it after the inventory tomorrow. Don't worry, sister-in-law, there is a lot of money."

Xue Yi didn't care about it, and said it directly for his sister-in-law. This matter is not authentic. If it spreads out, it will end up in the reputation of bullying orphans and widows, then it will be over.

Xue's mother stared wide-eyed, what's going on, did the second brother know the news so quickly, but he didn't tell anyone.
