In a turmoil, Qian Qianyi pleaded for mercy from Liu Kongzhao and other Nanjing nobles with a disgraced face, Hou Fangyu and other Xia Jiang talents kowtowed to Ning Yuanbo and Li Shouhan, and the unlucky Yang Longyou was thrown into the prison of Nanjing Zhenfu Division for insulting the court members and national heroes, and went to enjoy a full range of physical services.

It was Hou Fangyu himself who also learned the next day that because of his status as the son of a criminal minister, he was not allowed to participate in the township examination this year and the next two years.

What's even worse is that that night, although Liu Kongzhao had an official status and was inconvenient to enter Meixianglou to listen to Li Xiangjun's singing, Li Shouhan walked into Meixianglou with his head held high. Different from the eldest prince Hou, Li Shouhan, the uncle, has a little uncle Wang Yetai launched by Nanjing Xungui as a guest to accompany him, and there is also a Cao Bangtian gang leader nodding and serving on the side.

When Hou Fangyu several scholars supported each other and limped towards the lower part of the Confucius Temple, he couldn't help but look at the brightly lit Meixiang Building with hatred and surrounded by thousands of people, and heard the faint music and women's words coming from the building, Hou Fangyu gritted his teeth.

This kind of hatred is no less than killing one's father and taking one's wife.

"In the lifetime of a certain family, if Li can't be killed and the country and the army are wiped out, he will not be buried in a coffin after his death!"

"Brother Tai, we will definitely help you with today's humiliation! Recapture the beauty! ”

Several difficult brothers and sisters each supported themselves and returned to the next place, asking Lang Zhong to treat his illness and heal his injuries, not to mention.

Shouhan led his subordinates to rest in Nanjing for a few days, and also went to the Purple Mountain Filial Piety Mausoleum to pay respects, and then went to the yamen of various ministries in Nanjing to have a banquet. Walk around with the earls, marquises, and princes of each family. In private, the nobles also praised the addition of a strong fresh ingredient like Li Shouhan in their group.

And for the sake of the coastal defense of the three provinces and the anti-smuggling affairs, the Shouhan had to call the nobles brothers and sisters, and the wine and meat were exclaimed. A lot of benefits were promised, such as the procurement of all kinds of urgently needed materials in Nanzhong, the sale of goods produced in Nanzhong on the ground in Nanzhili, and the two sides agreed on the flag of the merchant ship at sea and the monthly taxes and fees to the Nanzhong Naval Division, and a series of complicated things. And with the sincerity of the Admiral Cao Jiang Yamen, Liu Kongzhao, under the witness of a group of Nanjing nobles led by Wei Guogong, signed the Jianghai Joint Defense Article. In order to prevent treacherous people from colluding with the Japanese and the Western Hongmaoyi to follow the example of Guangzhou, they traced the river from Wusongkou and attacked Nanjing. Harassment of the mausoleum.

in the article. The content that excited the nobles the most was not the joint defense of the Nanyue Army and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in Nanjing and the Caojiang Yamen, but it was stipulated in the article that the naval division of the Nanyue Army saw that the ships issued by the Caojiang Yamen were suspended, and the draft was no more than 2,000 materials. If the number does not exceed five, it must be unconditionally released. And to ensure the safety of navigation. No more than 50 flags may be awarded each year. After exceeding, it must be reported and received by the Caojiang Yamen and the Nanjing Garrison Yamen and the Nanyue Army.

This move undoubtedly turned Nanjing Xungui into a strong supporter of the Southern Yue Army. For a time, the various princes, marquises, and counts in Nanjing united to invite the stewards of Shouhan and Long. was so busy that Shouhan and his subordinates were on all fours, but fortunately, Li Peiting rushed back from Liaodong in time. After giving all kinds of Liaodong native products to officials and nobles everywhere, the popularity index of the few people who had to defend the Han Dynasty increased a lot.

It was Li Zhenli and Li Xiangjun's mother and daughter, and Li Peiting also sent someone to send a liter of Dadongzhu, ten catties of good ginseng, twenty pieces of Xuanhu skin, and a number of other kinds of utensils. Although the mother and daughter are also well-informed, they are not exempt from vulgarity in front of many jewelry objects.

What made Shouhan even more excited was that Pei Ting brought a girl who was as tall as a birch tree and whose eyes were as clear as the sea.

When he heard that this Daur girl, whose demeanor was absolutely incompatible with the current popular aesthetic standards, called Ao Lei Yilan, Shouhan almost burned his tongue out with a cup of hot tea.

"How's your archery doing?" Shouhan's first words when he saw Ao Lei Yilan turned out to be this.

Taking the copper-tired iron arm bow handed over by the soldiers beside him, Ao Lei Yilan tried it slightly, and drank softly in her mouth, and the bow was pulled like a full moon! Recognize the buckle and fill the string, Ao Lei Yilan put a wolf tooth arrow on the bow, aimed around slightly, and sent his right hand, where the bowstring sounded, two building pigeons were pierced by an arrow!

Hearing Li Peiting tell about what he had seen and heard in the Sauron Department, and knowing the heavy responsibility of this Ao Lei Yilan, Shouhan had to be in the advice of everyone "Lord, for the benefit of Nanzhong, you have to suffer some grievances", and he secretly invited a guest again in Nanjing City with a burst of joy in his heart, announcing the joy of Ben Berner's favor.

In such an atmosphere of flowers and brocade cooking oil, there are storms in some corners of the city of Nanjing.

When Shouhan vented his energy on Ao Lei Yilan's vigorous body like a little wild horse for several days, he was infatuated by Ao Lei Yilan's two long legs and wheat-colored skin, and completely forgot that this aunt seemed to be the same age as his eldest daughter Li Huamei, and just lamented that the years were unforgiving, the head of Long's prevailing business investigation office, Muya Dog, roared and broke into the inner house. Through the crack in the door, he told him a new enemy in a strange tone.

Shouhan is used to such a scene, according to the rules he set, a few intelligence chiefs can directly enter the inner house to report the emergency military situation to him, "Even if I am running errands with my wife, you can come to the bedside!" "But no one has done that for years.

It startled Ao Lei Yilan, and hurriedly looked for the clothes at the head of the bed, carrying an iron steel knife in his hand. Shouhan searched Yilan's smooth skin with both hands, whispered a few words of comfort in her ear, and asked the wooden tooth dog through the door what was the matter.

"Lord, in the city of Nanjing, it seems that someone is going to make trouble again!"

"Trouble? That should be handled by the garrison Xu Guogong?! Why should you and I be alarmed? Ordering the soldiers to open the door, Shouhan pulled Ao Lei Yilan out and found a shady place under the porch to listen to the wooden tooth dog.

"Lord, if it's an ordinary matter, my subordinates don't bother to take care of it, but the situation reported by the secret piles everywhere is afraid that someone will be unfavorable to the lord and the businesses in my south and central China!"

"What's the matter? Makes you panic so much? Shouhan glanced at the curtain behind him, where a tall and graceful body was clearly hidden.

"My lord. There is conclusive information that some people are secretly organizing and inciting scholars to boycott classes, take exams, and strike businessmen. ”

"The reason? What is their rationale? ”

"Lord, some people say that the new envoy of the lord's new leader to the coastal defense and anti-smuggling is here to cut off the livelihood of the people in Jiangnan. The goods are not allowed to go to sea, and a few days ago they signed a joint defense of the river and the sea, and the small people of Shengdou worked hard to do something. Can't go to sea. If you can't cross the river, the people's daily expenses will not be able to handle it, so you have to borrow some grain, rice, and money from the shops opened by our merchants in Nanzhong! ”

"What a guts! Why do you want to come to my shop and make a fortune? When Shouhan heard this, he burst out laughing instead of being angry.

This generation said. It was the lord who wanted to loot the fat and ointment of the people of Jiangnan. And came up with this idea of fishing with all his might to the emperor. The emperor was deceived by the lord for a while, so he agreed in a daze! Therefore, the leaders said that they would fight for the country! ”

"So. The subordinates implore the lord to go out of the city and take refuge for a while, and the affairs here will be handled by the subordinates. ”

"How are you going to ......?"

Shouhan was about to ask Muya Dog how to deal with this mass movement, when the Chengqi official outside the door reported in a low voice, "My lord, a guest has come to visit. ”

"What people!? Lao Tzu has something to deal with here, I don't see! ”

"Lord, it's Li Zhenli and Boss Li of Meixiang Building. She said that she had come to tell me about the name of the lord I! ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be inspired by the spirit of guarding the Han. Li Zhenli's pretty face with a little heroism appeared in my mind.

The scholars and doctors of this era have almost pathological aesthetic standards, and there are many Lolita who like twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, while a young mature woman in her twenties like Li Zhenli, or simply the best period of time for girls, has been regarded as old. Every time Shouhan sees such a situation, he can't help but stomp his feet in his heart and scold the tyrannical things! Then there was another burst of ecstasy.

"Please!"

Dressed in an arrow-sleeved robe and dressed as a man, Li Zhenli, who looked more and more heroic, made Shouhan swallow his saliva secretly.

"The marshal has been favored recently, and it is not good to come to disturb him, but recently there have been rumors in the city, and it is inevitable that the things in Suzhou will be staged in the capital of Liudu. There are unfounded worries in the future, worried that the marshal is a pillar of the country, if he is humiliated by this generation, there will inevitably be some heroes who are short of breath. ”

The world's evaluation of Li Zhenli is beautiful and chivalrous, Li Shouhan secretly shouted in his heart, it is really honest and not deceiving!

In any case, people do not hesitate to risk offending those behind-the-scenes operations to come to report to him, and Shouhan certainly wants to express his gratitude. immediately got up and cleaned up his clothes, and respectfully saluted Li Zhenli.

"Thank you, Miss Li, for taking the risk to report the news. Shouhan thanked me here. ”

"Where do you come from, there are a lot of heroes and fierce generals under the command of the marshal, and they will not take this generation in their eyes. I only ask for one thing in the next handsome. ”

"Girl, please speak."

"If the marshal wants to calm down the tide, I hope to kill fewer people."

What a smart woman! No wonder he was able to stand out in the ten-mile Qin Huai and train a character like Li Xiangjun! I guessed at once that Shouhan planned to kill in the city of Nanjing.

"Since the girl has opened Chrysostom, is there any reason why Shou Han Yan will not obey? As long as this generation does not act too much, the guards should restrain their subordinates and must not act rashly. ”

As he spoke, someone came with a long wooden plate.

"I have heard that the girl has a chivalrous name, and this thing is a good match for the girl."

In the wooden plate, a green shark skin sheath gold ornament with a golden swallow, and a beautiful Japanese knife inlaid with several gems on the scabbard attracted Li Zhenli's attention.

"This thing is a tribute from the Japanese king Tokugawa, and the beautiful character of the girl who is worthy of it, if it is handed over to the group of rude soldiers under me, I am afraid that the pearl will be secretly invested."

In fact, this kind of beautiful and delicate knife, which is not effective in actual combat, is the most suitable for a character like Li Zhenli.

Sure enough, when he heard that this knife was a tribute from the king of the Japanese king, Shouhan gave it to himself, and Li Zhenli immediately stepped forward to take the knife and danced in the courtyard.

"This sister is so beautiful!" Behind the curtain, Ao Lei Yilan screamed and jumped out, also holding a long knife in her hand.

Her sudden move frightened Li Zhenli, but if you look closely, she is an alien woman as pure and bright as the blue sky and white clouds. It doesn't look pretty, but it's refreshing.

With Li Zhenli's professional eye for women, she immediately saw the benefits of Ao Lei Yilan: long legs, strong waist, straight back, even flesh and bones, strong muscles, and smooth skin, I think she must be a favorite pet in a man's bed.

"This sister, I think it's Mrs. Ru of the handsome Xinna?" Li Zhenli plucked a hairpin ring from her head, and a string of tiny beads was held in the mouth of the phoenix on the hairpin. "My sister came in a hurry. I didn't bring a gift to my sister, so this hairpin was temporarily used as a gift. ”

"Sister Xie Lu, Xie Xie!" Ao Lei Yilan was also generous, and inserted the hairpin given by Li Zhenli into the bun, "Sister." You'll come to me in a moment. I have Dongzhu that I brought from my hometown. You pick a few and go! She is still the simple little girl of the Liaodong Aole family.

"But you have to tell me how you dance so well with this knife. I played, but he always frowned? Ao Lei Yilan pouted and pointed at Li Shouhan, who was crying and laughing on the side, with the hilt of the knife.

With Li Zhenli's communication skills, is it not easy to deal with a little girl like Ao Lei Yilan from the deep mountains and old forests? Seeing that there were a few important people gathered around Shouhan, he thought that he had business to deal with, so he immediately took this novice handkerchief to discuss the difference between actual combat knife skills and watching the knife dance.

"My lord, should we inform the garrison?" The Wooden Tooth Dog is still the same weird tone.

"Not necessarily! Here in Nanjing, they are the head snakes! We all know about the Dao, but how do they not know about the Dao? The order was sent to the valuable materials and goods of the various shops to Matsue or the river boats first. Just leave some daily turnover left! ”

"Then, do you want your subordinates to send someone to quietly lead the leader," the wooden tooth dog was still unfazed, but quietly gestured with his hand.

"Not necessarily! Let's take a look! ”

Shouhan didn't want to be written again to write a five-person tombstone, which was obviously a violent act of resisting taxes, but he simply washed the floor and turned it into a rebellion against tyranny.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the industrial and commercial class had become extremely arrogant, the local economy was completely uncontrolled by the central government, and the government was full of spokesmen for their interests. It can be said that the central government at the end of the year did not have the slightest financial control over the local economy.

In order to protect their own interests, the merchant class often used the joint strike as a big killer to come out.

In the Jiajing year, the government had banned the minting of private money everywhere, but as a result, merchants everywhere jointly boycotted the market, and the goods soared, and the government had no choice but to scrape the ban. In the Wanli year, the current Chongzhen year, whenever the government wants to collect taxes from merchants, as long as the merchants strike the market, the government will be helpless.

If Nanjing City was under the jurisdiction of the Shou Han, there would naturally be a set of ways to deal with this kind of boycott, but unfortunately, he was just a guest army passing by here, and he couldn't come out to deal with these disgusting things. Although the ultimate goal of Zhilu Dao's matter is to point to himself and the Nanyue Army, the Nanyue Army must not take action to deal with such a thing!

"Second brother, you come forward, invite Sima and Tian to dinner tonight, and say that you have business to talk to them!"

Shouhan intends to use the mass movement to fight the mass movement, didn't you coerce the merchants to strike the market and the students to take to the streets? Then don't blame me for mobilizing the power of the two gangs!

"Lord, the Sima gang leader of the Yan Gang, and the Tian gang leader of the Cao Gang, I posted a post outside the line to ask to see!"

Before they could sit down, the two knelt down in front of Shouhan with a puff.

"We were not strict in disciplining our subordinates, and we were almost used by people with ulterior motives, and we almost made a big mistake! I have come to ask the marshal! ”

Where does this begin? Shouhan was a little confused, but he still indifferently ordered someone to help the two masters up, sit down and talk.

"Originally, I was discussing with the shopkeeper Li, and I was going to invite the two masters to come for a drink tonight, and by the way, there was a small business to talk to the two masters, since the two masters came, it would be convenient."

"Shuai Shuai, you take care of the Cao Gang so much, and the whole gang is grateful for your kindness, but today someone in our gang offends the Lord Shuai Huwei, but it is absolutely intolerable!"

The leader of the Cao Gang Tian was heartbroken, and he kept knocking his head on the blue brick floor.

Looking at the pretentiousness of the two, Shouhan probably guessed a little eyebrows, but he couldn't be sure.

"Get up and speak! The tree is big and has dead branches, and there are more than a million people in your two gangs, and it is inevitable that there will be a few people who forget their righteousness and commit adultery. ”

Sure enough, the two began to explain to Shouhan the purpose of this trip.

Nanjing, as the capital of Liu, naturally consumes a large number of daily necessities every day, and at the same time, a large number of commodities are distributed everywhere here. These materials and commodities require a lot of transportation capacity and porters, so the two gangs of Yancao have a large number of people in Nanjing.

But just a few days ago, some people spent money to hire people in these two gangs, and at first the stewards at all levels did not think that there was anything strange, and there were many people in Nanjing City who hired the two gangs of Yancao to fight in groups, and the rich young master.

However, the number of people hired far exceeded the scale of the group fight, and it had reached the point of thousands of people, and several incense owners felt that something was wrong, and after paying a little attention, they prayed to their leading boss to avoid getting into trouble.

"Someone is preparing to be unfavorable to the adults, intending to set off a storm in the city of Nanjing, and hire my two gangs to charge for them."

The two gang leaders pleaded guilty to Shouhan with a sad face, hoping that this ruthless lord who killed Tartars like eating cabbage could see that he was the leader and let go of the two gangs.

At most, handing over those gangs can be regarded as losing the pawn and protecting the car.

"The two masters, please come to have a drink today, I plan to discuss with the two, my Nanyue Army has set up a salt field in Qiongzhou Mansion, and at least one million stones of fine salt can be produced every year, I don't know if the two masters have any intentions?"

Shouhan looked at these two leading bosses who led hundreds of thousands of gangs with a smile. (To be continued......)
