"I've seen the uncle, please say hello to the uncle!"

The honest-looking old farmer knelt on the ground with a smile on his face, wanting to kowtow to Jia Qiang.

The same is true of the gray-haired woman beside her.

Jia Qiang moved sideways a little, avoided this salute, and said, "Get up." ”

Then he asked, "Are you Fengsu?" ”

The old farmer hurriedly responded: "Eh, the little old man is, the little old man is." ”

Jia Qiang said: "You have a son-in-law, named Zhen Shiyin?" ”

The old farmer was stunned when he heard this, but the old woman behind him responded in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, the husband of the people's wife is Zhen Shiyin." He...... He's been lost for more than ten years, big official, have you ever seen him? ”

Jia Qiang shook her head regretfully and said, "I haven't...... However, you have a daughter with a red mole on her eyebrows, and she ...... this year."

Before she finished speaking, the old woman Feng Shi was already in tears, nodded and said, "Little girl Yinglian, this year...... Fifteen years old. She...... She's alive? ”

As soon as the word "Yinglian" came out, there was no need to ask.

Seeing her like this, Jia Qiang's face was a little more emotional, and she slowly bowed her head and said, "She is still alive, and she is not bad, you can go and see her." ”

Before Feng Shi could respond excitedly, Feng Su on the side suddenly howled loudly and cried: "My poor granddaughter, you have finally come home." I...... Drip...... Child...... Yes! ”

However, such a touching cry made Jia Qiang frown.

He glanced at Mama Sun and asked her to take the Feng family to the inner house to see Xiangling first.

After the Feng family left, Liu Cong, the second housekeeper of the Lin family, saw Jia Qiang frowning and displeased, and shouted at Feng Su, who was still crying: "What howl? What kind of place is this, and what are you messing about? Disturb the nobles, watch your head! ”

When Feng Su heard this, he stopped crying instantly, knelt on the ground motionless, and smiled carefully.

Seeing him like this, Jia Qiang chuckled, shook his head and said, "You're a Diao Min." Cunning like a ghost, he seems to be smart, but in fact he is extremely confused. You only have one daughter in your name, and your uncle Zhen Shiyin is difficult to take refuge in you, but you are secretly making trouble, trying to get other people's goods into your name. The pain of losing her daughter, coupled with the embarrassment of life, and the pain of being ridiculed and ridiculed by you all day long, made Zhen Shiyin unable to establish the world, so he could only leave home. A good home for you to make it look like this. If you have a son who inherits the family business, it will be said in the past. Coaxing his son-in-law's wealth over to his son, although he loses his conscience, at least it makes sense. You're good, just a daughter, and still do this, what are you not a fool? ”

"Big official, I don't ...... the little old man"

Hearing Jia Qiang's words, Feng Su was shocked, ashamed and remorseful, but he didn't admit it.

But before he could say anything, Jia Qiang waved his hand and said: "You don't have the right to speak here, you are a greedy person who harms others and yourself, which is really disgusting." That's it, I'm not hard for you, you go back. Before you die, ask someone to send a letter, and I will send someone to sell the inheritance you left behind to Xiangling. ”

As soon as these words came out, the soul of Feng Su bluffed was furious, and he was afraid that this black-hearted messy young man would be ruthless again, and sent him back to the West on the spot to receive his inheritance, so he was busy kowtowing and leaving in a hurry.

Feng Su was miserable in his heart, originally he was still calculating, whether he could live a few years in this official office, but now it seems that the people in the official family are all ruthless people with black hearts......

After sending Feng Su, Jia Qiang went to Zhonglin Hall to see Lin Ruhai.

The appearance of the Feng father and daughter is definitely not a good thing for Lin Ruhai......

……

Chunglintang.

After Jia Qiang entered, she saw Lin Ruhai leaning on the bed, her face was also very bad, and her heart couldn't help sinking.

After many days, Lin Ruhai can already sit at the desk on weekdays.

Today, I feel unwell.

But without waiting for Jia Qiang to open his mouth to persuade him, Lin Ruhai said slowly: "Brother Qiang is here, have you seen the Feng father and daughter?" ”

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, the Feng family is indeed the mother of Xiangling." ”

Lin Ruhai said "um" and asked, "I heard that the girl who called Xiangling is now in your room, how are you going to arrange the Feng father and daughter?" ”

Jia Qiang told what Feng Su had done back then, and finally frowned and said in disgust: "The foreign family covets the wealth of the son-in-law, and he also does this kind of shameless thing!" I sent him back, and threatened him, and when he died, I sent someone to collect his inheritance, and frightened him to leave. As for Xiangling's mother Feng's family, let's take a look at it again, there is nowhere to go, and it is nothing to raise. ”

Lin Ruhai nodded noncommittally, I don't know what I thought, after pondering for a long time, he sighed and said, "Jia Yucun, it's a pity." ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said with relief: "It's not a pity, as long as my uncle can raise his body and bones, a Jia Yu Village that has not yet become a climate and has a wolf's heart and lungs is far from being a henchman." ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "I just think that talents are rare, but it's not a disaster, but it's a pity that he is a person without virtue." By the way, how have you been planning these days? ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "I haven't decided yet, tonight, I have to go to Qi Garden, the old lady of the Qi family wants to see me." It just so happened that I wanted to probe his tone, too. ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he frowned and reminded: "Brother Qiang, don't be careless if you don't have a secret accident. The Qi family's Qi Taizhong, the depth of the city and the weight of scheming, even I am willing to bow down. The Qi family has been able to sit firmly at the head of the eight major salt merchants for more than sixty years, and this old fox is about to become proficient. ”

Jia Qiang's face became solemn when she heard this, and she nodded: "It is precisely because of this that I will not be smart, thinking that Yangzhou City, which has been run by others for a year, can run the Bai family without alarming them!" Unless brute force is used to forcibly encircle and suppress it, it is absolutely impossible. Uncle Gu, although he doesn't want to admit it, this Yangzhou Mansion is indeed the Yangzhou Mansion of the Qi family. There is no doubt at all that Qi Taizhong has long used gold and silver to feed the real power and key officials in Yangzhou Mansion and even the entire Jiangnan. It is almost impossible to avoid him and move a salt merchant clan who does not have many flaws. Even if it is forced, it is a curse. ”

He is not Han Bin Han Banshan, for the sake of the stability of the country and the country, for the sake of the society and the society, he can even ignore his life, how can he care about the bane left by a few salt merchants?

But Han Bin doesn't care, it doesn't mean that he Jia Qiang doesn't care.

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's money is like killing your parents.

After killing the Bai family, how many powerful eunuchs behind them have cut off their financial resources, and this enmity is simply uncommon.

Jia Qiang didn't want to do such a thing......

Lin Ruhai's face was not good-looking, he didn't expect Jia Qiang to see it so thoroughly, and even say some things that shouldn't have been resorted to.

Yangzhou Mansion is the Yangzhou Mansion of the Qi family?

Lin Ruhai never wanted to admit it, but ......

Again, he had to admit it.

The Qi family has reached this point today, and it is no longer a simple salt merchant.

In Yangzhou, there is a livelihood that can make money, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, including salt, rice, noodles, oil, meat, vegetables......

Which one does not have the shadow of the Qi family behind it?

Not to mention the Yangzhou Mansion, it is the salt ding in the Yamen of the Salt Courtyard, Lin Ruhai also knows that there must be a lot of it, or even most of it, that have received the "favor" of the Qi family.

As for the officials of the government and the prison of the prison cell, all of them were not affected by the Qi family.

At this point, Yangzhou Mansion is the Yangzhou Mansion of the Qi family, what's wrong?

But for Lin Ruhai, who was born as a scholar, the important land of the country is controlled by a merchant family, which is simply intolerable!

Arrogant, arrogant!

However, Jia Qiang gently persuaded: "Grandpa doesn't need to worry too much about anger, the core of the prosperity of the Qi family is the master of the Qi family." People often say that one person can prosper the country, and naturally one person can prosper the clan. Qi Taizhong has managed the Qi family to the extreme. It seems to be a boom, but in fact, it has reached a place where there is no way to enter. Da Yan is, after all, the Great Yan of the scholars. Qi Taizhong is also an understanding person, so he gradually retired behind the scenes twenty years earlier, even if the Qi family is rich and rivals the country, the Qi family's hand has not really stretched out Yangzhou Mansion. Even if they operate in Duzhong, Jinling and other places, they are only for self-preservation. I guess that if the Emperor didn't understand this earlier, he wouldn't have become close friends with Yijie Buyi. Judging from the news found in the past few days, the current head of the Qi family, Qi Wannian, is not as loyal as his father Qi Taizhong. Therefore, the day when Qi Taizhong drove the crane to the west was the day when the Qi family gradually weakened. ”

If it is placed in Jia Qiang's previous life, there is the soil and space for capital to live in society, then it may be possible for the Qi family to truly endure for generations, such as the families in the United States that have long been hidden in the deep sea, but still control the world's financial lifeline from afar.

But it's a pity that the current Dayan has absolutely no room for the Qi family to expand arbitrarily, and if he dares to take half a step forward in Lei Chi, he will only wait for the end of turning into powder.

Lin Ruhai actually understands all of this.

It's just that during the period when he was in charge of the highest salt affairs in Lianghuai, the Qi family could still exist so long and always secretly control Yangzhou, which was not a light humiliation for him.

After all, in his bones, Lin Ruhai, who was born in the four generations of liehous and Tanhualang, also despised the likes of lowly businessmen.

Lin Ruhai leaned back, looked at Jia Qiang and said lightly: "Today's Qi family, is it the place you expect?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled, shook her head and said, "The Qi family, it's still unstable." ”

However, he did not want to say anything more.

Seeing him like this, Lin Ruhai smiled dumbly, nodded and said, "Okay, since you can also see that the Qi family is unstable, then it's good, then just do it." In addition, the two long-term followers around you, although they are also blood warriors, are still a little worse in the end. The two people beside Qi Yun are rare good players, and there are few like them in the Qi family. Now that you are outside, we want you to do something that is not very stable, so I and the prince of Banshan will each send you one. ”

Jia Qiang was stunned when she heard this, looked at Lin Ruhai and said, "Grandpa, you also have masters of rivers and lakes under you?" ”

When Lin Ruhai heard this, a bitter color that hurt to the bone marrow flashed in his eyes, but it was also lost in an instant, and he sighed: "In the past, I couldn't see the so-called people in the rivers and lakes, thinking that this kind of ranger, who did not produce and bullied the weak, should be killed." Later, after suffering a big loss, I understood the reason for their existence. You should keep in mind the lessons of the past, and you should not underestimate them. ”

Jia Qiang faintly heard that Lin Ruhai had a son who fell into the water and died early, but there seemed to be something else inside......

Now, it may not be groundless.

He was awe-inspiring in his heart, and nodded: "I have written it down, and I will definitely guard against vicious people who will assassinate them." After a pause, he asked again: "There are also such people under the command of the Mid-Levels Prince?" ”

After all, Lin Ruhai's mental cultivation is quite high, so he quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "The eunuch of the Mid-Levels has been in Dayan for many years, and he has encountered more dangers than you expected. ”

Jia Qiang said helplessly: "Then he also expected me to make a move?" ”

Lin Ruhai smiled, his eyes were gentle, and said: "He didn't expect anything else, but he expected that you were a pure filial child, if I opened my mouth, you wouldn't not." Brother Qiang, don't blame Banshan Gong, if there is no such scheming, I am afraid he will not live today. ”

Jia Qiang smiled, nodded and said, "It's that I thought it was too simple, thinking that people with a good reputation in the world should be ...... It's me who was naïve. But I still want to thank him for giving me a master. It's just my aunt, this man, do you listen to me, or listen to him? ”

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said: "Don't think about it, when you reach the status of the prince of the middle of the mountain, how can you do things that are childish?" You can use it with confidence, treat them well, and they will be your loyal and brave people. Go, wait for the night, the two of them will go to look for you, and go to Qi Garden together. ”
