However, it was said that the daughter-in-law of the Fujian governor Huang Wengang's family, Peony, recognized Zeng's family, and returned to the post house alone to kneel down to her master and said, "The slave just found Fuhui's house and saw her." Huang Wengang's brows moved. Peony lowered her head and said, "There is a splash, it is his life experience arranged for Fleur. The teacher surnamed Yang is familiar with the pranky skin, believes in his words, and does not believe in the slave. Huang Wengang still hoped that Mrs. Yang was really his own slave, so he was a little loose. Peony said again, "The slave knows that there are many people in our house, and the master is not uncommon with a small hibiscus. What matters is the face of the master. Huang Wengang took a breath. Peony was silent.

Huang Wengang thought about it for a long time, waved her out, and called a staff member, Master Zhang, to come in and tell him about it. Master Zhang said: "Regardless of whether that woman is a Fu or not, this old man can no longer say yes to Master Jia." ”

"If it's her, why not?"

Master Zhang said: "If it was her, it would probably be that she had gained weight, and my wife didn't recognize it." Since Mrs. didn't recognize them on the spot, and said that she did, Master Jia would only treat them as us. This matter is not the old man chasing the fugitive slaves, but Taiwan and Fujian are facing each other. Nai sighed, "Although Jia Lian is the prefect, he is the son-in-law of Wang Ziteng. And the old man looked at the fast catchers on their streets, all with Western fire. Gun. If we turn the other cheek, we won't get any benefit. ”

Huang Wengang said: "A daughter-in-law who catches fast has nothing to do with Jia Lian. ”

Master Zhang said: "They arranged the nonsense to the Zeng family in Luzhou, for the sake of King Lu and Concubine Ning, Jia Lian must hope that this matter is true." ”

Huang Wengang frowned and said, "You can't just forget it." Get her, so that Jia Lian can restrain herself a little and accept fugitive slaves. ”

Master Zhang shook his head and said: "The matter of accepting fugitive slaves was originally decided by Lord Jia himself, in order to supplement the population of Taiwan, how could it be just because of a daughter-in-law?" ”

Huang Wengang said: "Since he refused to admit that he accepted fugitive slaves, he is also a person who cares about face after all." ”

Master Zhang said: "Then he is only afraid that he will die and will not recognize that the person is in our house, unless the daughter-in-law recognizes it herself." Huang Wengang had just wrinkled his brows, and Master Zhang hurriedly whispered, "Doesn't she still have Lao Tzu Niang?" ”

Huang Wengang was stunned, waved his hand and said: "The old man still disdains to take people's parents hostage. ”

Master Zhang said: "It's just a slave, what kind of parents are you." Huang Wengang still hesitated, and Master Zhang said again, "That daughter-in-law was originally a slave of the old man's family, and the people under Master Jia forcibly occupied it, this matter is not false." Master, even if you can't force Master Jia to restrain yourself, you always slapped him in the face. ”

Huang Wengang thought about it for a long time, and finally waved his hand and said: "Even if you are a slave parent, it will hinder the old man's name." Besides, it's not clear whether she's a fleur or not. What if you recognize the wrong person? ”

Master Zhang persuaded him for a long time, but he insisted on refusing and gave up. He turned back to the peony and said, "The master refuses." Peony had to grit her teeth secretly.

After all, Huang Wengang didn't make a fuss about Zeng's again, and he pulled the skin with Jia Lian for two days and went back.

On this day, Huang Wengang abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and Zheng Chao'er, the general soldier of Fujian, led the people to greet him, and couldn't wait to ask: "My lord, how about you go here?" ”

Huang Wengang waved his hand and said, "Moti, Jia Lian is a scoundrel. Nada said it briefly, shook his head, and was at a loss.

Zheng Chao'er said angrily after hearing this: "I don't even take adults in my eyes!" My lord is his superior. ”

Huang Wengang sighed: "Since I beat him, I didn't expect him to take me seriously, he is the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion after all, but he came to avoid trouble." Therefore I have not paid attention to him in the years he has been here. Who knew that he had to inch in, and he became more and more reckless. But if there is chaos today, no one can control him. I saw that his Chengtian Mansion was neatly built, and the streets were full of new objects; As soon as he left the city, he was deserted and there was no easy way to walk. ”

Zheng Chao'er said: "He was originally a gentleman, where would he be an official?" It's just that there are a lot of people who have passed from Fujian now, how do these people feed? ”

Huang Wengang said: "I heard from the people in the post house that Taiwan is a typhoon all year round, and the grain grown by Baba is gone as soon as the wind blows, but Jia Lian bought a lot of grain and rice from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Siam for the people to live. This person is not bad-minded, but he has no ability. ”

Zheng Chao'er thought for a while and said, "My lord, now that the matter has come to this, we can't do anything about it. "Look," he said, pointing to the passage of the ships on the wharf, "these are ships that carry people across the sea." Since Taiwan still has to rely on the money of Rongguofu to support the people, it is better to let them stay in Fujian. There are also typhoons in Fujian, but there are not as many as on the island. ”

Huang Wengang said: "Ordinary people are ignorant, and when they hear that there is land available, they rush over, where are they willing to listen to the words of others. ”

Zheng Chao'er said: "Having said that, you have to sue them, don't you?" Why bother, we don't have anyone to farm, and they have encountered a typhoon. ”

Huang Wengang sighed: "Let's try it." Then he ordered Master Zhang to make a notice and put up a list in Fujian to show the people, saying that there were many typhoons in Taiwan and the harvest was extremely poor.

I don't want his list to be posted, but it's amazing, and the number of people crossing the sea has tripled in the blink of an eye! It turned out that many people didn't know that Taiwan could get land by clearing wasteland, but now the governor knows it. Master Zhang hurriedly came to find Huang Wengang and said, "My lord, this matter can't be delayed. We had to find a way to close the ferry and not allow anyone to pass through it. ”

Huang Wengang had no idea for a while, and he was so anxious that he turned around. At this time, the steward who had a lower head said back and forth: "Many tenants hired by our government are unwilling to rent land, saying that they are going to Taiwan to open up wasteland. The minions have reduced their rents, and they will not stay. ”

Huang Wengang flicked his sleeves angrily and said: "If you don't rent it, just rent it for others!" Let them go to Taiwan and starve to death! ”

The steward said, "Master, it's hard to find tenants now. The rents of the families have been reduced, but they still cannot find anyone willing to farm. Now I have to take some boys from the house to farm in the village, but they usually do the work of serving people, and they don't know what to suffer. ”

Huang Wengang said: "They are slaves, they can do whatever they want, and they can pick and choose where they are." ”

The steward hurriedly replied "yes". So he selected many young and strong laborers in the Yellow Mansion, and those who kept vigil, raised dogs, and carried things and sedan chairs were all taken to the village to do farm work and make up for the lack of tenants.

These people were born and grew up in the city, and they felt that they were the subordinates of the governor's family, and they were nobler than ordinary people, where did they suffer that hardship? I don't want to. The stewards in Zhuangzi beat and scolded them, and they were not allowed to eat, so they tried their best to clean them up, and some people escaped in less than half a month. One escaped, and the second escaped, and within a few days a dozen or so escaped! Although a few were captured and beaten to death, the rest still wanted to escape. The steward had no choice but to find some shackles, untie them when he went to the field, and put them on when he finished his work. Even so, there are still clever boys who break the shackles and escape.

The steward was in a hurry, so he had to go back to the city to find Huang Wengang, and said with a sad face: "Master, if the Taiwan government doesn't take back the words of accepting fugitive slaves, the slaves are afraid that after two years, everyone will escape!" It's useless to fight and kill, they have hope! When a man has hope, he cannot restrain it. ”

Where is Huang Wengang's way! Annoyed, he waved him out. After going around the house for a long time, he sent someone to invite Master Zhang to discuss. Master Zhang pondered: "Now there are only two. ”

"Say!"

"Please send troops to guard the dock, and no one who does not lead the way is allowed to get on the boat." Master Zhang said, "Although you can't stop the ordinary people who have no land, you can always stop the fugitive slaves." ”

"Who planted the land in Fujian!"

Master Zhang said: "Some families farm their own land; Ordinary tenants are rented to tenants, or those who have servants in the family can let the slaves plant, and those who do not have slaves have to reduce the rent. Stop the fugitive slave first. ”

Huang Wengang thought for a while and asked, "What about the other one?" ”

Master Zhang said: "You have to kill Jia Lian's majesty." Master, the daughter-in-law who ran away in our house married the one who caught their fast head...... If she is willing to go home by herself, she will give Jia Lian a faceless. Huang Wengang was stunned for a moment, and then understood what it meant, but he still hesitated. Master Zhang said, "This matter has nothing to do with the master, but is done by the villain." ”

Huang Wengang sighed: "That's it, you just have to do it." "Master Zhang took the order.

On the other hand, not long after Huang Wengang left Taiwan, Yang Song became a relative to Zeng, who had just returned from his honeymoon in Qiongzhou. On this day, Zeng's got off work in the embroidery workshop, and Menzi told her: "Master Zeng, there is your letter." Zeng thanked him, took the letter and looked at it, and sat down on the ground in fright. The letter came from the steward of the Huang Mansion, asking her to tell the Taiwan prefect Jia Lian her own identity, go back to the house obediently, and choose a good man to match. If she didn't go back within a month, the lives of her father, mother, and siblings would not be spared, so she was killed in front of the mansion to make an example.

In less than half an hour, Yang Song pinched the letter and entered Lin Daiyu's office, saying, "Please Lord Lin, General Xu Mo, lead a sentry to Fujian to rescue my father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”

Most of the construction matters in Daiyu's hands have been handed over to Xichun, but the sign of the Ministry of Construction is still hanging on the door, and now he and Gong Kun are in charge of the overall situation. She looked at the letter and said, "One sentry is not enough. Dozens of wharves were sealed at the end of Fujian, and at first only fugitive slaves were blocked, but now even ordinary people are not allowed to cross the sea, and several boats have capsized for smugglers, and they are still discussing how to deal with it. "I ordered someone to invite Jia Cong, Gong Kun, Jia Weisi, Tanchun, Wu Xiaoxi, Cheng Chi and others to come over, and said to Yang Song, "Brother Yang will send someone back to tell Sister-in-law first, you will probably not go back to eat today." Yang Song nodded and sent a personal soldier back to deliver the message.

After a while, everyone gathered, Lin Daiyu first asked everyone to read the letter, and said: "Since the matter has come to this point, it will not be done if you don't fight." ”

Cheng Chi said: "Brother Yang and I led people to attack Huang Wengang's mansion at night and save people. ”

Daiyu said: "Treat the symptoms but not the root cause." If you only save Sister-in-law Yang's parents, Brother Yang can save her alone. Turning around and pointing to the map of Fujian, "Now the two places are competing for population, which is a dead end, and there is no both." We must have a war with Fujian, and the first strike is stronger. ”

Jia Cong raised his hand and said: "Right now, we are busy with production, and it is inconvenient to provoke a big war. ”

Daiyu shook her head and said: "You killed Huang Wengang and Zheng Chao'er, and there are naturally others in Fujian who will come out to preside over it." ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Although Lord Huang is not honest as an official, he is not unsuccessful; Zheng Zongbing is becoming more and more generals, how can he kill them? The meaning of the younger brother is that whoever forces them to close the ferry will kill whom. ”

Daiyu said: "I don't have so much spare time to accompany them to make one move left and one move to the right, and I don't need to provoke any big war." What Cong'er said is that Huang Wengang and Zheng Chao'er are not bad. Nai asked Cheng Chi, "I want these two people to live." Is it possible for General Cheng to be caught? ”

Cheng Chi said: "It's not difficult. ”

Jia Cong said: "If only two people are arrested, it is cheapest to ask Yang Erbo and Chen Sijie to go, and there is no need to use the special battalion." ”

Daiyu said: "This time we have to use a special battalion." If two martial arts masters were to be asked to take the two of them, they would only mistakenly think that they had neglected their precautions and allowed the Assassins to succeed by chance. We sent our troops over in a dignified manner, and destroyed their luck before we were willing to accept it. ”

Yang Song said: "It's just my father-in-law and mother-in-law......"

Daiyu smiled indifferently: "Brother Yang, don't worry." The Huang family wants to coerce Sister-in-law Yang, and they will not do anything to them. Besides, whether Sister-in-law Yang is from their family or not, Huang Wengang can't be sure. If he really gets it right, I will let the Huang family exchange them for Huang Wengang. ”

Yang Song thought for a while: "I still can't rest assured. ”

Jia Cong said: "In this case, the soldiers are divided into two ways. Brother Yang went to save his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and Brother Cheng Chi led the troops to attack Fujian and arrest Huang Wengang. Well-Zheng Chao'er didn't catch it. ”

Daiyu asked, "Why?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Xiangye sent troops this time to show off his strength, and it is enough to catch the one with the biggest official rank." Now that the Fujian port has made so many soldiers do misdeeds, it has made it impossible for our Taiwan government to do serious business, so we have to use force as a last resort. We have to keep someone stable to negotiate with us, right? We are reasonable people. ”

Daiyu smiled: "It is also reasonable. In this case, it is good to take only Huang Wengang, and Zheng Chaoer will keep it to negotiate. Then he said, "Jarvis must also be armed." ”

Jarvis clenched his fists and said, "Please give me orders." ”

Daiyu said: "Please General Jia also lead the troops to take a walk, step on Ningde, Nanping, Sanming, Longyan, Zhangzhou, and finally return to the island from Quanzhou." ”

Wu Xiaoxi said with a smile: "What is the prefect of the county, can you grab it and weigh it in your hand for a few days before putting it back?" ”

Daiyu said: "No." Since it is Yaowu, it is good to shine around, don't scare the ordinary officials under Huang Wengang. ”

Gong Kun said: "Tan Mo, the prefect of Zhangzhou, is a well-known corrupt official, but you want to take the opportunity to get rid of it?" ”

Dai Yu said: "Such a person can ask Chen Ruijin or Yang Erbo to deal with it after this matter settles, General Jia must not touch him, it will hurt me." ”

Jia Cong let out an "oops", causing everyone to turn their heads to look. He patted the case and said, "I suddenly had an idea! Since there are so many stolen officials, it just so happens that the green forest can come in handy! ”

Daiyu frowned and said, "When can you change this problem?" Then let's talk about it tomorrow, and we'll talk about sending troops. Jia Cong grimaced. She then picked up her pen and drew two lines on the map of Fujian, one leading directly to Fuzhou, and the other bypassing several places in Fujian, and asked Cheng Chi and Jarvis, "The two generals must have understood?" ”

The second general stood up and clenched his fists and said, "The last general understands." ”

Daiyu nodded: "I'll go with General Jia." ”

Everyone was shocked, and Jia Cong asked first: "What is my sister going to do?" ”

Lin Daiyu smiled: "Is there a chance for actual combat, don't go to practice the formation, but when will you stay?" ”
