Chapter 68
The officials brought by Tu Huaishen were secretly checked in the Salt Administration Yuan, and the officials of the Salt Administration Department were also interviewed from time to time, although their attitudes were still polite, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of rumors for a while.
As an accompanying official, Jia Lian, who rarely had some expertise in settling accounts, was naturally arrested as a strong man.
Although there are quite a large number of accompanying officials, and there is the help of the new bookkeeping method, the accounts are too many and complicated, and it is not easy to sort out and check, and Jia Lian is still tired like a dog after a few days. Wang Xifeng doesn't have to worry about Second Master Lian making old mistakes and hooking up everywhere, even if he has the heart, he is powerless now.
If you want to talk about Jia Lian, when she arrived in Yangzhou, she was frightened all the way, not to mention, she was constantly working, but Jia Lian still never forgot her aunt's entrustment, and after visiting her uncle, she handed over the medicinal materials and letters to Steward Lin.
Remembering that Jia Min asked him to write back, and after waiting for a few days to see that Lin Ruhai still didn't improve, Jia Lian thought about Lin Ruhai's haggard face, sighed, and wrote the current situation as tactfully as possible. Because it was a sensitive period and I was afraid of being misunderstood, before sending the letter, Jia Lian went to explain it quite a time.
At that time, he was dealing with other affairs in the Imperial History Mansion, and his father-in-law Fulu received him, and after listening to Jia Lian's explanation, he looked at the heavy blue and black under Jia Lian's eyes, thinking that this was Miss Lin's relative, and Fulu's father-in-law was rarely kind, not only promised to help send the letter, but also gave Jia Lian a half-day off with a pleasant face, so that he could have a good rest.
So under the envious and jealous gaze of his colleagues, Jia Lian inexplicably took half a day of vacation.
Jia Lian:
Walking out of the Salt Administration Courtyard and wandering the streets of Yangzhou, Jia Lian was a little dazed, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
After a busy day, Jia Lian really didn't have any fun thoughts, so he decided to go back to the Imperial History Mansion to rest for half a day, because it was not yet the time to go down on weekdays, and there was no sedan car outside the Yanzheng Courtyard.
This day is beautiful and beautiful, and it is rare to come to Yangzhou, and it is not far from the Imperial History Mansion, Jia Lian simply did not call a carriage and horse, while looking at the customs and customs of Yangzhou that are very different from the capital, while walking towards the Imperial History Mansion. Although he is alone, Jia Lian is not very worried about his safety, even if Yangzhou is in danger, it will not be his turn to be a little person of little importance.
Then Jia Lian was soon slapped in the face.
In fact, this is the case, when Jia Lian walked back to the Imperial History Mansion leisurely, when he turned an alley, he heard a heavy wheezing sound coming from the alley, Jia Lian casually looked at it, and saw a man with half of his clothes soaked in blood, holding a knife in one hand and holding the wall in the other, and the image was not miserable running towards him, and it happened that the man looked at the mouth of the alley, and the two looked at each other.
Jia Lian: Why does it seem familiar?
Before Jia Lian could figure out something, there was a joy on the faces of the people who came, "But is it Lord Jia?" ”
Jia Lian nodded reflexively, and then immediately realized that there might be big trouble, seeing that there was no one around, he took a few steps back, and subconsciously touched his waist with his right hand.
Seeing Jia Lian's reaction, the visitor hurriedly explained: "Lord Jia, I am the guard responsible for Lord Li's safety. The guard gasped, leaned against the wall with half of his body, took a cloth bag from his arms in one hand, and handed it to Jia Lian, "Please also ask Lord Jia to take this thing"
However, before he could finish speaking, two big men with knives ran behind the guards, and when they saw Jia Lian and the guards moving, they ran towards them with knives and a cruel smile.
The guard immediately threw the package towards Jia Lian and shouted, "Master Jia, go quickly, I'll cover up." However, as soon as the words were shouted, the man fell to the ground weakly, and could only barely hold on to the knife for support.
Jia Lian: Big brother, you don't look like you can cover me at all!
The two big men ran closer and closer, Jia Lian hurriedly picked up the package, and as soon as he picked up the package, the two of them were almost in front of him.
Seeing the flashing light of the knife, Jia Lian held the package in his left hand, and threw the small black bottle in his hand towards the two of them with his right hand, at this time he had no choice, although he was not sure that this thing was really as divine as written in the manual, but it was good to be able to block it for a moment.
And seeing that something suddenly flew towards him, two martial arts masters thought it was a hidden weapon, one of them slashed with a knife, sneered and was about to rush forward, when he saw that the black hidden weapon shattered, and then something liquid splashed out, just as the head was poured on the faces of the two people, suddenly, there was an unusually terrible scream in the alley.
The two originally fierce men wailed in pain at this time, and the flesh and blood on the faces that were drenched in the focus instantly melted away like snow encountering boiling water, revealing the white bones and white brains in a blink of an eye, mixed with blood and water, which looked more and more terrifying.
But after a few breaths, the voice weakened, and the two fell to the ground motionless, their hands still covering their faces, silent, and their heads were already half missing.
Even the guards who had experienced several life-and-death pursuits couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw this scene, and looked at the thin Jia Lian with some admiration and some fear.
I saw Jia Lian standing motionless, with an expression on his face, and there was no panic on his face. In an instant, Jia Lian's thin figure became unfathomable in the eyes of the guards, and he really didn't show his face (fog).
Jia Lian: What the hell is this, those two little rabbit cubs, so scary, their legs are weak, and they can't move at all
Jia Lian froze for a while, finally relieved himself, and tried not to look at the two big men who were in a miserable state, so he heard the guard tremble and ask, "Lord Jia Jia, like just now" The guard didn't know what to call for a while, "Do you still have that bottle of things on you just now?" ”
Hearing this, Jia Lian couldn't help but look at the guards suspiciously, although the guards looked a little awe-inspiring, but their expressions were sincere, seeing Jia Lian looking at him, he pointed to the corpse, and said with a serious face: "It's best to clean up all the traces." ”
Jia Lian:
In the end, under Jia Lian's care, the two corpses were sprinkled with unknown liquid for the second time, and they completely turned into a puddle of yellow water.
After killing someone for the first time and experiencing the destruction of corpses, Jia Lian hid the guards in a trance, carrying the package, and tried to be as casual as possible, but in fact, he returned to the Yushi Mansion with a pale face.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, he heard that Tu Huaishen was in the mansion, and Jia Lian immediately asked to see King Anjun and reported the matter.
He took the package in vain, and sent someone to pick up the guards according to the address Jia Lian said, and then carefully opened the package, which contained several letters and two account books.
While studying the package in vain, the guards who were rescued by Jia Lian were finally secretly sent back.
From Jia Lian's mouth, he knew that he was seriously injured, the imperial doctor was already in place, and he was immediately treated as soon as the guards arrived, the guard's surname was Chen, seeing that although the Chen guards were weak, they were still quite sober, and they were afraid that something would happen to Li Huaiyi, so the imperial doctor carefully handled the wounds, and in vain Huaishen quickly asked what had happened.
Compared with the swagger of vain Huaishen, Li Huaiyi and his party dressed up in disguise, pretended to be small businessmen, blended into the crowd and hurried all the way to Yangzhou early.
People who know Li Huaiyi say that Li Huaiyi is fair and honest, experienced, intuitive, and unmessy, and then, he was hugged by his sister-in-law
At that time, before arriving in Yangzhou, a few people went to the shore to rest, fetch water and cook, but who expected, but saw a girl floating over with the current from the upstream.
Li Huaiyi immediately ordered someone to rescue the person, but fortunately, this girl had a big life, although she looked scary, in the end the person was still alive, and when the guards helped her spit out the water that was choked in, the person woke up for a moment, and then fainted again.
In line with the idea that more is better than less, they were on a mission, originally Li Huaiyi thought, send this girl to the inn to be taken care of and leave, who expected that when moving this girl, a package fell out.
Guard Chen picked it up casually and glanced at it, but he was stunned at this look, and immediately handed the contents of the package to Li Huaiyi.
After Li Huaiyi saw it, he was also stunned.
Holy, pie in the sky, really? Fake?
The salt tax was so big that it alarmed Qin to come to Yangzhou to investigate the case, and it was unrealistic to expect them to go back with nothing, so in order to shirk responsibility, there were so many unlucky eggs who had to be pushed out to prevent the disaster.
And this girl's father is the disobedient unlucky bastard.
However, obviously not everyone wants to be unlucky, someone was pinched, and the family was arranged and recognized. Others rose up and resisted.
And as a result of the rebellion, it was really shit luck to meet the chincha.
Li Huaiyi had read the account books and letters, and although he was not sure whether they were true or false, he also knew that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so he immediately ordered the guards to clean up the traces and leave immediately.
It's a pity that although Li Huaiyi's reaction was fast, the things in the package were really important, and the people who came followed closely were still targeted.
As for the later, "several brothers died, and Lord Li and Miss He were also injured, and the Lord was afraid of becoming a drag, so he and Miss He led away the pursuers and instructed me to deliver the things to His Highness." As he spoke, Xu thought of Li Huaiyi, whose life and death were unknown, and Chen Guard choked.
After asking Li Huaiyi about the code agreed with him, he immediately sent someone to find it. After saying it, he let go of a matter of concern, and Guard Chen finally couldn't support it, fainted, and asked the Imperial Doctor to treat it well, glanced at Guard Chen again, and walked out gently.
As soon as he went out, he saw Daiyu waiting at the door.
Before he could speak, Lin Daiyu hurriedly pulled him aside, motioned to come over cautiously, and whispered a few words.
Vain Huaishen's face changed drastically.
