From the red building to penetrate the heavens

Cui Jinxi followed closely and was transferred to Xianfu Palace by Jia She as the steward.

However, this time in the West Sixth Palace where people come and go, unless Zhen Huan becomes the master of the first palace, Cui Jinxi can no longer blatantly go to Zhen Huan and pledge her allegiance to her as in the original plot.

At the turn of the new year, after supporting the conferment ceremony of Queen Ilgenjueluo, Jia She was assigned by Yinzhen to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the connections between Nian Gengyao and Suzhou Zhizhu Sun Zhuhe, as well as the connections between the salt transport envoys of the two rivers, the tea ceremony, and the porcelain industry. evidence.

Zhang Qilin, who needed to do logistical work for Jia She who went to the south of the Yangtze River and was in charge of the entire Forbidden City, rushed to see Jia She off before he left the capital. Looking at the high-spirited Jia She, he said with admiration: "Among the four of us, you are still the one. Refined."

Again.

Jia She hurriedly put away the irritation on his face, patted Zhang Qilin's arm and pretended to be serious: "My job is not easy there, right? If you don't have any ability, your life will be lost. You forgot five years I went to Mobei a while ago and almost lost my soul in a foreign land?"

After Jia She said this, Zhang Qilin really remembered the danger outside, and he was not so envious that Jia She didn't have to guard Prince Yong's Mansion and the Forbidden City. After all, his life was still important.

Zhang Qilin picked up the flask filled with fruit wine with very low alcohol concentration, poured two glasses out, one cup outward and one cup inward, and solemnly said: "I will give you all kinds of money in denominations, weapons, rations, and horse fodder." You've made the arrangements, you'll be a kid for a while when you go out this time, please take it seriously."

Jia She smiled and took the wine glass, "Thank you very much."

In the afternoon, Jia She pretended to be a failed candidate and returned to Jiangnan with a housekeeper, two boys, and two guards.

Since there were many errands to do along the way, we took the land route.

Money can make the world go round, and the meticulous craftsmanship of those stakes under Xue Di Zi are not just about generating electricity for love, but more about the ability to make money.

Basically, every city has a base point for Blood Drops. Yinzhen will allocate money to this base point, and then the managers of the base point will distribute it downwards.

Jia She took the land route this time, not only to do some errands, but also to bring this year's debt to the steward.

In the past, it was usually given to the stewards in the form of rice, cloth and other physical objects, and then the stewards took them to the shops opened at the service point to sell them in exchange for money.

This method is safer, less likely to be exposed, and attracts more attention.

After Yinzhen came to the throne, bandits appeared on this road. After passing through, merchants suffered one after another. Yinzhen did not order the bandits to be suppressed, but the results were not great. All the goods of Xuedizi were robbed. Sixty-seven is extremely annoying.

However, these roads where bandits were rampant were located in Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu. It happened that Gengyao was appointed governor of Sichuan in the 57th year of Kangxi, and was promoted to the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi in the 60th year of Kangxi.

At this time, although Yinzhen could not move Nian Gengyao for the time being, he also received a secret order from Jia She and handed it over to the local generals who had not had much contact with Nian Gengyao, asking them to cooperate with Yinzhen in his actions. When the time comes, quickly eliminate the rebellion and bandits. solve.

At noon that day, Jia She and others rested at the inn to replenish their dry food. When they saw a straw shed set up not far from the inn, and a number of miserable gangsters, they called the waiter to inquire.

The waiter looked bitter and said, "Hey, isn't this caused by the bandits on the mountain in front of you? Don't look at how they look now. They were all rich men before." As he said that, the waiter pointed to the inn. The nearest thatched hut said: "Look at that neatest thatched hut. It turns out that the people inside are merchants who usually go to Yangzhou and the capital. A month ago, cloth was transported from Yangzhou, but the bandits were asked to bring the goods and people. After being robbed, he himself became lame. Now that he has no money or food, he cannot return to his hometown. To ensure safety, he has to build a thatched hut at the inn to hang out."

"The same goes for those people. Women and handsome men were all taken away to the mountains together with their goods. The rest either went out to look for food and died in the mountains, or they sold themselves and followed the people. ."

Jia She pretended to be a serious scholar, frowned and asked: "I just found out that there was banditry, so I spent so many days at my classmate's house, asking the Holy One to order people to suppress the bandits, and then I dared to return to my hometown. No matter what you mean, these bandits are still very rampant."

The waiter's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he suddenly became alert. He didn't dare to speak easily anymore, so he just laughed and said, "Sure, it's much better than before."

Seeing the waiter's secretive appearance, Jia She didn't bother him any more. He only made inquiries in public in public and secretly in private.

Early the next morning, Jia She received the news from his subordinates and was filled with emotion.

Sure enough, the gang of officers and soldiers who suppressed the bandits were just pretending, and the dead were all civilians who had just been kidnapped up the mountain, as well as powerless soldiers in the barracks who were not from the Nian Party. Excuse.

As for those people who had no money or food and went back to their hometowns as mentioned by the waiter, in the end they had to sell themselves in order to survive. The force behind the people who bought their teeth was probably the Nian Party. They deliberately took this road to recruit people, otherwise they would not have had anything to do with it. Fa explained how the bandits let them alone.

Continuing down the road, the Nian Party and those who took advantage of the chaos to cause chaos, their profiteering, corruption, and indifference to human life brought disasters and tragedies to the people one after another in front of Jia She. Before reaching Jiangnan, there were piles of books recording these murder cases. Picked up several boxes.

And Jia She was almost numb from the torture.

When Jia She and Yinzhen went to the south of the Yangtze River on business, more people were still around Yinzhen, and the nearby officials knew that the selfless and selfless Yinzhen was coming, so they hurriedly hid their braids and did not dare to cause trouble in public. From what I have seen and heard, most of the disasters are caused by natural disasters more than those caused by man-made disasters.

This time it was just the opposite.

Thinking of Nian Shilan's extravagant, arrogant and domineering behavior in the palace, no matter how much Jia She cared about flowers, he had no good impressions of her.

For a person with such a temperament, such a family with many evil deeds and heinous crimes, not to mention that Nian Shilan would be in a high position and give birth to an imperial heir, so that the Nian family would become the prince and princess's maternal family, and they would be able to make a comeback in the future with the help of the prince and princess. , even just killing Nian Gengyao's lineage is not enough, his brother Nian Xiyao's lineage should also be killed together. Those ordinary people with flat heads are so innocent, so pitiful, and so unjust.

Nearing Suzhou, Jia She became a man who had lost his job and had no face to see his elders. He wanted to study abroad for a year and a half before returning to his hometown. With the cover of scholars, he took poems and articles, visited some officials openly, and made friends with some officials. It is quite normal for a second-generation official to go in and out of some mansions.

Jia She's identity was related to a specific party. He was a member of the clan of Yinzhen's close officials, so he was important but not noticeable.

After settling down in Suzhou and confirming that he was not being followed, many things slowly unfolded and spread outward.

After several generations of experience, Jia She's current methods of doing things are pretty good, and the tasks assigned by Yinzhen are also going smoothly. It just needs time to grind slowly, and you can't rush for success or scare the snake.
