Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Jia Zhen couldn't help sneering after listening to their narration, "It's a good abacus, a box is a hundred taels, and there are probably many people like Xue Pan who buy the way along the way. A box is worth seven or eight hundred for the shipping cost alone. Two, the items in there must be worth at least tens of thousands of taels. So, if you go for one trip, there will be [-] taels?

　　For the first time, Li Song lost his hand in the investigation, which made him very annoyed. He asked Jia Zhen for his life again, and he must go to Zhen's house again.

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "You have never seen such a big mansion, so you can be forgiven for getting lost. More than half of their home is the palace of the Emperor Taishang during his southern tour. Think about it, can it be small?"

　　Li Song scratched his head, but Shen Xin had some doubts. Is the Zhen family the first family in Jiangnan?Can you move them?Don't beat the tiger when the time comes, and provoke a show.

　　Jia Zhen pondered for a while, why are there shadows of the Zhen family everywhere?I didn't move down last time, and I guess it won't work this time either. There are too many emperors!But you might as well keep this braid useful, and threaten Xue Pan by the way.

　　So, he suddenly smiled and said: "We are all guessing here. We grabbed Xue Pan and asked him. Wouldn't it be clear?"

　　Not long after, Xue Pan was "invited" in.

　　Xue Pan made a half-ass on the chair, "Big Brother Zhen called my younger brother here, why is that?"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "I heard that you went out on a boat, so I wanted to ask you, what did you do? Even the soldiers you were with said they didn't know. I think you should be able to tell me some news. ?"

　　Xue Pan was worried about this, but after hearing it, he panicked for a while, "Brother Zhen, it's okay, just let them drop by the way to Jiangbei. They came back in time every time, no mistake."

　　Jia Zhen stared at Xue Pan's face and said slowly, "Let me remind you, what did you carry on my ship? Where did you ship it to?" It was the Zhen family who asked me to carry it. They were all on the way, so I helped. If Brother Zhen doesn't allow it, I will push it later."

　　Jia Zhen smiled and wondered, "What did you help them with?"

　　Xue Pan shook his head, "I asked, but they didn't say anything."

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "That's weird. Since you're going to use my boat, why didn't you come to me directly? Instead, I asked you? Don't you think it's unreasonable?"

　　Xue Pan guessed: "I heard from the housekeeper Zhen that Brother Zhen ruined their family's business in Su Song. If it is entrusted to you again, it will make both parties feel embarrassed."

　　"Do you still have luck?" Jia Zhen asked with a smile: "Since this trip is so valuable, as long as our ship is still parked here, they will definitely continue to do it. When do you think it will be?"

　　Xue Pan was sweating coldly on his forehead: "Jin... Brother, they said there will be another time tomorrow!"

　　Jia Zhen stepped forward and patted Xue Pan on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, you tell the Zhen family, it's only this time, it won't be an example next time!"

　　Xue Pan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I knew Brother Zhen would do this! I'll go get ready!" He hurriedly left.

　　At this time, Shen Xin Li Song stepped forward and asked, "Let's just forget it?"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "You go and notify the salt inspection inspector, saying that someone used the official ship to smuggle it. When the time comes, you prepare for it, and then you will get the stolen goods."

　　Shen Xin hesitated: "What if someone from the Zhen family is caught?"

　　Jia Zhen laughed and said, "Let them do everything they do. If they are caught, they will be sent to the government. Do you still use me to teach them?"

　　Shen Xin naturally understood. "Then prepare for it."

　　Be sure to know what exactly they are smuggling?

　　After they left, Jia Zhen thought, why not pretend to be a bandit and rob them on the way?But in this area along the river in the south of the Yangtze River, the Jiang Waterproof Division, guarding officers and soldiers to patrol the exchanges, when did the bandits come out?Jia Zhen suddenly thought seriously that Ningguo rebelled not long ago, and although it was suppressed, there was no chance that some fish would slip through the net, and a small group would flee to the suburbs of Jinling.

　　Jia Zhen wrote a sealed letter to Timur, ordering him to deliver it to his destination.

　　The next day, Xue Pan boarded the official ship as usual.When they arrived at the predetermined place, there were still two small boats, and the porter brought twenty large boxes up.But he didn't see Old Zhen.The leader told Xue Pan that Elder Zhen was waiting there!Xue Pan didn't pay too much attention to it, and he was familiar with it, so he drove the boat forward generously.

　　Not long after, a military ship with Zhang Hanging for patrolling salt and smuggling came over, and suddenly ordered the soldiers on board to stop the ship for inspection.The soldiers on the boat shouted, "This is the official ship of the Marquis of Ningyang, didn't you see the flag?"

　　The general manager on the anti-smuggling ship pulled out his knife and shouted: "We received a tip that you used the official ship to smuggle and carry prohibited items. We want to board the ship to search! Stop the ship immediately! Otherwise, we will fire!" Said, the sailors on the ship Lift the cannon jacket to reveal the muzzle of the cannon.

　　Someone had already reported it to Xue Pan, but Xue Pan had no idea at the moment, and seeing that they were really planning to fire, he hurriedly stopped the ship.

　　The captain-in-chief boarded the boat, searched inside and out, and soon found twenty wooden boxes.Immediately asked: "What is this? Open!"

　　Xue Pan put on an air and said with a smile: "Do you know whose thing this is? If you open it and break it a bit, can you afford it?"

　　Zong Zong sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, open it immediately!" After speaking, he took out his saber and put it on Xue Pan's neck.

　　Xue Pan looked sternly, how could he not be cowardly, the two were fighting each other, and he just said stubbornly: "This is something belonging to the Zhen family, do you dare to move?"

　　When everyone got closer, it turned out to be a box full of salt.

　　"It turned out to be selling illicit salt! All arrest me!"

　　The general roared, and his subordinates immediately started to bind Xue Pan and the others.

　　Xue Pan shouted, but it didn't help.

　　What the hell is going on here?

　　At the same time, Shen Xin took down all the people who had just transported the goods.He interrogated the leader, but was told that Admiral Jiangnan ordered them to do so.Shen Xin was furious and planned to torture them one by one.At this moment, a group of soldiers and horses came galloping from the vicinity, and the leader was indeed Hu Duo, the chief officer of Huaiyang Town.He ordered people to surround Shen Xin, and yin and yang laughed strangely: "Isn't this Lieutenant General Shen? Why don't you stay in Zhenjiang, come to our Yangzhou when you have time? And bring so many soldiers? Isn't it going to rebel? Left and right, give me Take it!"

　　The Yangzhou soldiers were about to start immediately, but the Jiangnan soldiers were not vegetarians, so they pulled out their knives and stood in a stalemate.

　　Seeing that his own troops and horses could not take them down, Hu Duo felt shameless.Coldly shouted: "Shen Xin, I advise you to surrender immediately, otherwise, I will regard you as a traitor and kill you on the spot!"

　　Shen Xin sneered and said, "Mr. Hu, you came too soon. You showed up just after I arrested someone here?"

　　Hu Duo pretended to be surprised: "So you arrest people? Who are you arresting?"

　　At this time, the leader who was tied up yelled: "It was the Admiral Jiangnan who ordered us to traffic in illicit salt, and now they want to kill people, General, save us!" These people suddenly shouted.

　　Shen Xin shouted and chopped him down with the back of his knife, "Shut up, you are talking nonsense!"

　　"Ah, it turns out that you are killing people!" Hu Duo shouted sharply: "Brothers, arrest them all for me. If you dare to resist, you will be killed!"

　　Seeing that the two groups of people were about to fight, several military ships sailed from the heart of Jiang, hung the flag of the Admiral of Jiangnan, and quickly approached Jiangbei.It turned out that Li Song, who was with Yan Ding, found that what he found was actually private salt?He immediately felt different, to know that two hundred catties of salt was only a few taels of silver, so it must have been stolen!He urged the Yan Dings to return to Jiangbei, just to meet this scene.

　　After a while, the military boat docked, and two teams of Yan Ding got off the boat. It was the same general. After seeing the situation clearly, he said to Hu Duo and Shen Xin: "General Hu, Vice General Shen, I suspect that these people in the middle are involved in smuggling. Salt, please allow me to take it back for a detailed interrogation!"

　　Hu Duo was a little undecided, but Shen Xin smiled and said, "You should be in charge and should be handed over to you."

　　So he ordered his men to hand over those who carried the goods to Yan Ding.

　　Seeing people being taken away, Hu Duo hurriedly shouted, "You are not allowed to leave!"

　　"What do you have to teach Mr. Hu?"

　　The salt smuggler guard was not afraid at all, he stood in front of the Yangzhou soldiers and let Yan Ding escort the salt seller.

　　Hu Duo sneered: "Your master is dying. I want to see if you can catch all the smuggling on the river? For example, the Admiral Jiangnan? The smuggled salt you found is his boat, right?"

　　Mr. Zong replied neither humble nor arrogant: "As long as the humble post is still here to inspect, no one can smuggle and carry it!"

　　But Li Song, who had been standing beside Mr. Ba, said, "Zong-Bing Hu, how do you know that we have found illicit salt just now?"

Chapter [-] I can wait for you for five years

　　At the same time, Timur passed Yizhen, circled around, and finally found Aunt Han in a riverside town.

　　Xin Ning glanced at Timur, frowned slightly, and finally burned the secret letter in her hand, "Are you masters trying to make a bad plan? It's only a matter of his imagination to rob him in broad daylight! Besides, that's all. Where can I find so many people in a day? I can't do this!"

　　Timur smiled and said: "Master said, this vote is less than [-] taels?"

　　Xin Ning's eyes lit up immediately, and she said with a beaming expression, "Master really still thinks about the concubine. Please go back and tell the master, the concubine must handle this matter for him!"

　　As she said that, she asked Hanyan to give Timur a burden, and warned: "Here are a pair of shoes and socks, and a piece of clothing, which was made by Hanyan and I. When I go back, remember to ask the master to change it, it is also my concubine's. A piece of mind."

　　Timur led the way.

　　Xin Ning pondered for a long time, and her expression gradually became awe-inspiring, so she taught people to send orders to arrange a response.

　　Besides, the change in Jiangbei quickly reached Jia Zhen's ears.Jia Zhen was stunned for a while, then laughed angrily: "Actually accusing me of smuggling illicit salt? Only twenty boxes of salt, less than one hundred taels of silver, can I commit murder? , I just don't know."

　　But Shen Xin persuaded: "Master Hou, the last will feel that they have been planning for a long time this time, and they will definitely not give up! Let's be careful!"

　　Jia Zhen nodded. Now it seems that the first one who wants to frame him is the Zhen family.But the Zhen family gave Xue Pan one or two thousand silver each time, which didn't seem very similar. How could Xue Pan's role be worth so much?Another one is that Hu Duo?He and Commander Li Dashuai went all the way, and there were enough reasons.

　　Soon, some rumors began to circulate in the north and south of the river. Some said that the Marquis of Ningyang used his power to smuggle and smuggle salt, making a profit of tens of thousands of taels. Others said that the Marquis of Ningyang killed innocent people indiscriminately during the suppression of the rebellion, and was looting. Many people have been displaced, and even their homes have been destroyed.

　　These rumors spread to Suzhou, and the officials and merchants who had been raided and dismissed from office hated Jia Zhen to the bone, and they contributed to the fire.

　　The censors from the southern regions of the Yangtze River moved when they heard the wind. These learned men who have been studying hard for decades, still wearing green robes, have done their best to compile Jia Zhen's ten crimes, and they have written letters to the emperor. I can't wait to kill and then hurry up!

　　It seems that Jia Zhen has changed from the emperor's favorite to the underdog that everyone shouts and beats overnight.

　　Even Wang Zi Teng, who is in the nine provinces far away in the border town, specially wrote a book, which seemed to be fair, but in fact, the accusations everywhere made the conflict between him and Jia Zhen public.And the memorial of Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling, echoing Wang Ziteng, let everyone see the majesty and power of the four major families that have begun to fall apart.Perhaps this is what the emperor wanted to see?

　　But few people have noticed a strange phenomenon. In this huge campaign of rebellion, the most important thing is to come out and shout. The faction of Prince Zhongshun, who was charging into battle, didn't say a word?There is also the Jiangnan Zhen family, not only did not fall into the trap, but tried their best to defend Jia Zhen.

　　It's just that the Zhen family was unlucky. At the beginning of the month, they lost a batch of treasures in Longtan near Jinling?Just when people were speculating about the loss of the Zhen family, a number of items suspected of being used by the imperial palace in Jiangdu Palace appeared on the black market one after another...

　　The emperor was furious, and he strictly ordered the palace to stay behind, and ordered the Jinling prefect to investigate within a time limit.

　　And the central character in this whirlpool, Jia Zhen, who should be trembling and frightened, is not in his Jinshan camp at the moment, and is quietly hiding in Daiyu's boudoir.

　　"Brother, it's so fierce outside now that I'm worried about you at home. You're good, and you're still in the mood to drink tea with me? Zijuan, put away the tea cup and don't waste my water."

　　Zijuan smiled and said, "Girl, the uncle came here to hide from us on purpose. You don't need to comfort me. How can you be reluctant to give up a glass of water?"

　　Jia Zhen praised: "It's still Zijuan that you can feel sorry for others, but in the future, I don't know who is the lucky one to beg you!"

　　Zijuan blushed, and before she could speak, Daiyu said, "Brother, if you like me, I'll give her to you, okay?"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and shook her head, "Zijuan is a good and sincere girl. With her by your side, I can rest assured. If you follow your will, I'm afraid it will be a waste of money."

　　Daiyu's eyes widened and she said in surprise, "Could it be that the elder sister-in-law, sister Yindie, sister Keren, second sister You, third sister You, Qingwen, Xiangling and the others have all lost their lives? It's amazing, I have to tell them to go! "

　　Jia Zhen slipped her tongue out for a while, was grabbed by Daiyu, and slapped him with her fingers ashamed of him.

　　Fortunately, Jia Zhen didn't mind, but smiled instead: "You have such a eloquent mouth. Fortunately, I am a big brother. If it were someone else, I would definitely be angry."

　　Daiyu laughed for a while and said to Jia Zhen, "Brother, aren't you afraid?"

　　Jia Zhen rarely sat up straight, and sighed: "I'm afraid, why not? Just what they said, if I really did it, I would have died many times. At first, I was terrified, for fear that the emperor would come down with an imperial decree. , I will be raided and removed. Do you think it's easy? I spent money to buy an official, and I have to make money for the court, and I have to eradicate traitors for the court. …”

　　Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Brother, what you said is really ugly. Even if you have [-]% of the credit, once you say it, I'm afraid that if you can get the remaining [-]%, it can be regarded as burning a high incense. What about the Marquis? I really don't know what the emperor thought in the first place?"

　　Jia Zhen widened her eyes, pointed at her and said, "Oh, you actually slandered the court? You slandered the court officials? Don't you hurry up and bribe me and stop my mouth, or I'll tell you at some point, that's bad!"

　　Daiyu spat: "Just sue me. Anyway, I'm your sister. If you shut me down, you won't be able to run away."

　　Jia Zhen shook her head and said, "It's really hard to be a big brother now. I have to accompany her to relieve her boredom, tell jokes and tell stories for her, and be bullied by her willingly. I must have done something wrong in my last life!"

　　Daiyu snorted: "You must have been a person with a bad heart in your last life. You have hurt the hearts of I don't know how many women before you can repay your debts in this life. So, sister-in-law and the others must be your creditors!"

　　"It makes sense!" Jia Zhen sighed in admiration, "I recognize them. Treat them well in this life, and I will never let them suffer a little bit of grievance. But you are not the creditor of my previous life, why should I be bullied by you? "

　　Daiyu stretched out her jade finger and nodded on Jia Zhen's forehead, "Idiot, I must have been your elder sister in my last life. I was so worried for you that I cried all my tears. That's why God made you my elder brother in this life. , so that you can also experience what it feels like to be brokenhearted for others."

　　Jia Zhen recalled the cold spot on her forehead just now, and deliberately exclaimed: "Fortunately, it's just my sister! I thought you would say that you were my mother in your previous life! Isn't it my daughter now that you were reincarnated? Almost with Uncle Lin. It's a peer, so dangerous!"

　　"Bah!" Daiyu angrily grabbed the flesh on Jia Zhen's arm, "What nonsense? I won't be your daughter!"

　　Jia Zhen let her hold her, and hurriedly said, "I can't bear to be my daughter!"

　　Daiyu suddenly blushed and let go of her hand, then took a step or two back and glared at Jia Zhen: "Honest brother, teach me to make trouble with you. Originally I was a quiet and virtuous good girl, but you taught me badly. Now, how can I get married in the future?"
