Chapter Ninety-Six: The Sorrowful Autumn in Jiangnan

The west wind tightened, the moon dew turned into frost, and the weather became colder day by day.

In the courtyard of Yang's mansion, the secret room was ditched, and Yang Lin took a few old farmers to plant and fiddle with vegetables and flowers.

The first one is Su Xun, the father of Su Ningxiang's sisters, who was snatched by Yang Lin from the Pan family's manor.

In this era, there are no domestic slaves, at most they have signed a contract of employment, and Su Xun's family is innocent, and they have become Yang Lin's bankers with a large family.

The white endive and cucumber are sparse on the market, and there is a bright spot on the plate; Shi Qing Lu has an industry, and it is very good for the Zhou people.

This is Lu You's poem praising the greenhouse for cultivating out-of-season melons, fruits and vegetables, but unfortunately this kind of greenhouse vegetables are not something he can eat, in fact, even the emperor is difficult to eat often.

And because of the lack of lighting and poor ventilation, this vegetable often turns yellow, which is considered to be a thing from time to time, hurts people, and is not suitable for worship.

Yang Lin simply dug a cellar in the courtyard, and then used the standing earthen wall heated by the fire to open the paper window of the fire-style greenhouse, and finally filled the surroundings with mirrors to refract the sunlight in.

Su Xun took the hoe, wiped his sweat, looked at the vegetables in the courtyard, and sighed: "Farming like this is too expensive, it is better to drink porridge and eat meat." ”

Yang Lin smiled: "As long as it is planted." Giving it to the official family to taste, you get more than 100 times more than what you pay today. Those who are courtiers do not share worries for His Majesty, and rely on what promotion to make a fortune. ”

Su Xun also knew the power of this cheap son-in-law, and his two daughters were personally named by Pan Yi, but they were all snatched by him halfway.

In the eyes of these countrymen, Pan Yi is simply a figure who lives in the nine heavens, but there is no way at all, Lao Su made up his mind to let his daughter hug this thigh tightly, so that the Su family has a chance to turn over.

So after hearing these words, he praised Yang Lin with a smile: "It's still Da Lang's mind." ”

Yang Lin looked at it, and the rows of vegetables had already emerged, and they were very green and neat.

This greenhouse is the size of half a stadium, and as long as you take care of it, it is enough to pay tribute.

A small guy suddenly ran outside, and just as he wanted to report, he saw Liu Qingshui behind him, uninvited.

Yang Lin smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he knew, Liu Qingshui stepped forward and said: "Da Lang, there is really you, I will send someone to Jiangnan to investigate, guess what, there are really rebellious Manichaean rebels." ”

Yang Lin's expression moved, and he asked, "What did you find, how many people, and how did you prepare?" ”

"These people are not small, and they have become the climate, and they meet with each other frequently on the pretext of preaching, and there are many great contradictions in their words. My men disguised themselves and interrogated a few times, and sure enough, they were planning a rebellion. But in the end, it is a group of fools and foolish women, and the army can be crushed into powder as soon as it arrives. At this time, I have already gone to the official's house, hehe, he rewarded me with a jade Ruyi, and I will lend you a few days to play with you another day. ”

Yang Lin was not as optimistic as him, and frowned and asked, "What does the official family say?" ”

"The official family immediately asked Liang Gonggong to discuss with Cai Xiang and sent someone to Jiangnan to suppress it, and now it should have set off."

"Who's going?"

Liu Qingshui blurted out: "Li Yan, the governor of the Inner Service Province of Liang Gonggong, and Cai Xiang recommended Zhu Mian, the defense envoy of Hezhou. ”

----

Liangzhejiang Road, bleak wind and cold rain, autumn has been thick.

Hangzhou should be the bureau, is Liang Shicheng after the line seized half of the right to build the Yamen set up, the door to the public in the black robe, riding through like a plague, see all dodge.

Inside the yamen, a middle-aged man with a kind face and fair skin sat in the lobby, but there was an obese man kneeling underneath, kowtowing incessantly.

The white-faced official sitting in the lobby was Zhu Mian, he smiled slightly, and said, "Cao Yuanwai, this early in the morning, you will come to the yamen to cry and kowtow, this is too unlucky." ”

"Zhu offering, please raise your noble hand, my small business, where did the rugged and beautiful stone come from. You sent someone to my store early in the morning to grab and smash, and you didn't find it, so please raise your hand. ”

Zhu Mian's face changed, and he said angrily: "I think you want money and don't want to die, that stone is an official thing, and it is a capital crime for you to hide it privately." Now the official will give you a chance to go back and raise 30,000 yuan, and this matter will be over. ”

When Cao Yuanwai heard this, he wiped his sweat and pleaded: "Zhu Feng, 30,000 guan is too much, even if you sell our whole family, you can't make up 30,000 guan." After speaking, he took out a stack of paperwork from his sleeve and said, "This is my store and title deed, which is worth 10,000 yuan, and I am willing to hand it over to the worship, so spare our family." ”

Ju Mian winked, and his house slaves stepped forward and took the paperwork.

Zhu Mian smiled: "Since this is the case, I will be magnanimous once, you can go." ”

Cao Yuanwai was like being amnestied, bent down again and again, and crawled out of the yamen with a rolling belt, and there was a burst of laughter behind him.

Zhu Mian looked at his embarrassed back and said with a smile: "This iron rooster is not honest, he hasn't spit it out yet, and he continues to send people to rectify him." ”

The men around him gave a cruel smile and nodded yes.

Zhu Mian's history is somewhat similar to Yang Lin, when Cai Jing was the prefect in Hangzhou, he wanted to build an attic, but the money was not enough, so Zhu Mian's father Zhu Chong seized this opportunity and funded Cai Jing to build.

Later, Cai Jing paid homage to the prime minister, and Zhu Chong's father and son were all promoted to officials by him, which can be regarded as the first step of turning over.

Zhu Chong and Yang Tong were both from the bottom, and Yang Tong was forced to be helpless, killing officials and selling salt, and finally became a hero.

Zhu Chong is a small guy from a big family, Suzhou can't go on and has to live outside the city, as a result, Shi Lai ran into a Taoist priest, gave him a few prescriptions for curing diseases, because the effect of the medicine is good, so he quickly became famous, and made a fortune by selling medicine.

The difference is that Yang Tong, as a hero, knew how to ask a famous teacher to teach his son to read after his career, and finally raised a champion. Zhu Chong only taught his son to be opportunistic and play with power.

After obtaining this position from Cai Jing, he persecuted innocent people in Jiangnan on the grounds of arresting Manichaeism, which has caused countless wealthy families in Jiangnan to go bankrupt and their families ruined.

And he is not satisfied with the simple suppression of bandits, Yang Lin is now in full swing by relying on flattery, Zhu Mian sees it in his eyes and slanders in his heart, and he also wants to take the opportunity to loot the strange stones and treasures in the south of the Yangtze River, please Zhao Ji, and go further.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Shilin selected six thieves, Zhu Mian and Li Yan were among them, and they were fortunate to be tied with Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, and Wang Hao.

The six thieves came two of the most harmful people... This autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is destined to be difficult.
