Chapter 379: The House of Loyalty
At the beginning of noon, the ancient river wharf outside Yangzhou City.
On the dock, looking at the building ship that was gradually moving away, Jia Cong's face was indifferent.
Since ancient times, he has been sad and parting, how can he be an exception?
It's just that he has too many things on his shoulders now, and he can't afford to be sad.
"Go home."
……
In front of the gate of the Yanzheng Yamen, Jia Cong reined in the horse and said to the eight-treasure hairpin carriage beside him: "Sister Lin, I won't send you in." ”
Originally, Jia Cong waited for a response, then turned around and left, but unexpectedly, the carriage was quiet and there was no response.
Jia Cong raised his eyebrows lightly, gently lifted the curtain curtains of the car with a horsewhip, turned his head to look inside, and saw Daiyu sitting there crying......
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Isn't it that there is also a wind in the carriage, which blinds Sister Lin's eyes?" ”
Daiyu twisted her head and ignored it.
Daiyu's heart is full of grievances, even if the third brother Cong and Bao Yatou are good, but the difference in treatment is a little bigger, right?
Not to mention that the treasure girl was sent to the ship, he also watched it for half an hour until he couldn't see the big boat.
But for her, let alone sending her to the ship, she didn't even send the gate in.
Cruel!
Also eccentric!
Although she is not his anything, even if she is a sister, she shouldn't be treated so differently, right?
The third brother is not a good person!
Jia Cong is not stupid, where can he not see this little grievance that has been holding his stomach for a while?
But he is not Jia Baoyu, he has no experience in accompanying Xiao Yi'er in his past and present lives combined, after thinking about it, Jia Cong said softly: "I am not treating my sister with favoritism, I just want to hurry up and finish the things outside, and then take Sister Lin, Qingwen, and Xiaohong to walk around and see the scenery of Southern Province."
Otherwise, I finally came to the south once, but I could only sit and crawl every day, and I just went back in a year or two, and I was blind by this opportunity, right? ”
"Poof!"
Daiyu burst into tears, the first sentence is still reasonable, and the back is funny.
"Little Climbing" and "Xida Gang Gang" are both Yangzhou dialects, small Climb is the meaning of a small stool, and West Big Gang is the meaning of confusion.
Jia Cong's learning is a little rusty, and the more ridiculous it becomes.
Daiyu turned her head, there were still tears on her pretty face, but she also smiled, looked at Jia Cong and said, "The third brother is right, when he is done outside, take us out for a walk." ”
Jia Cong nodded with a smile and said, "The gentleman ...... a word."
Daiyu said vividly: "It's hard to chase the horse!" Another condition was added: "Let Qingwen and them be stubborn in me." ”
Jia Cong smiled and bowed his head, Daiyu also pursed his lips and smiled, and after glancing at Jia Cong again, he lowered the curtain, Jia Cong and the coachman nodded, and the carriage entered the gate of the yamen.
……
The small courtyard in the back street of the Yanzheng Yamen.
Vestibule.
Jia Cong sat in the main seat and listened to Wei Chen talk about the situation on the Bai family's mansion on Yulang Street.
Wei Chen said with admiration: "The previous humble position is still wondering, why did the adults treat those scholars so politely? In these two days, I will see the wisdom of the adults. The Bai family has been in Yangzhou for more than 100 years, and they are generous in terms of gold and silver.
The Bai family has been the head of the eight major salt merchants for nearly a hundred years, and it is really not in vain. In the past two days, I don't know how many scholars have come to Yangzhou from all over the country to seek justice for the Bai family, who is a righteous businessman of the country.
Fortunately, Meng Hao and other fifty or sixty scholars who had been appeased by the adults that day helped to explain, and they also took out the letter to corroborate it, which confirmed the wolf ambition of the Bai family.
If it weren't for that, just this wave of students would be enough for us to have a headache.
If it's not good, there will be a civil uprising, and it will be a big thing that will break the sky. ”
Jia Cong's face was pale, nodded and said, "Don't just report good news and not bad news." I don't believe it, it's all reasonable. ”
Wei Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Mingjian...... Those who read are the best at protecting themselves, and when they heard that the Bai family had committed the crime of rebellion, most of them turned their faces and spit on them, and those who didn't turn their faces immediately turned around and left. However, the people in Yangzhou who do not study, especially those in the market, are not so sensible.
In the past two days, some chickens and dogs, thieves, and some peddlers and pawns have actually thought of 'robbing the law field' at night. I've even figured out how to dig tunnels, hey, I can't kill it!
In addition, the people of Yangzhou Mansion are becoming more and more hostile to us. If you weren't afraid of the majesty of brocade, you wouldn't even want to sell rice, grains, fruits and vegetables to us.
My lord, the people's hearts are not ours. ”
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "We don't need the hearts of the people, or even a good reputation, we just need prestige." Jinyiwei will not be stationed in Yangzhou City, this is just a step. In addition, Yangzhou is not only the Yangzhou of the Bai family, the other seven will help us solve this problem, so it's okay. ”
Wei Chen respectfully said: "Your Excellency is wise...... and frowned slightly: "Your Excellency, the owner of the ten or so letters, no one has shown up so far. However, the people who were watching came back and said that in fact, they had gone out early yesterday morning, but when they were halfway there, they didn't know who they had received, and they turned back to the ya. My lord, who do you mean is sending them the message? ”
Jia Cong was not surprised at all, and said: "After all, this is someone else's home field, and they have been in business for dozens or hundreds of years, and they can be stabbed into it by us, but they are too careless and don't take us seriously." Now that they have come to their senses, their previous tricks have not worked. Oh, believe it or not, around our house, there are at least hundreds of pairs of eyes staring, but there is wind and grass, and they can't escape the eyes of others. In contrast, what is it worth to deliver a message to someone? ”
Wei Chen nodded and said, "What my lord said is that on the streets around this house, there are suddenly many small merchants and hawkers, and all kinds of traders and sellers have goods, why don't you let people clean it up?" ”
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to it, as long as you don't come forward, you go and do your thing." Tell Han Tao, Yao Yuan and the six thousand households, be sure to surround the Bai family's mansion, I expect that there will be a big fish on the bait! ”
Wei Chen received the order, and Jia Cong said again: "In addition, let Shen Yan take out and prepare to receive the 1,500 captains from the Jinling infantry army together with Shen Lang." Counting the time, it's almost today. Shen Lang ......"
Shen Lang, who had been standing behind Jia Cong like a piece of wood, stood up and replied in a deep voice: "Here." ”
Jia Cong said: "Choose soldiers well, rather lack than abuse." Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Yao Yuan is old, he has been an official all his life, and he is about to become an old oilman, let him clear the internal family law and military discipline of Jinyi Wei, and he may not be able to fall down in some cases, you don't live up to my trust. ”
Shen Lang saluted and said loudly: "Oh! ”
"Go ahead."
Jia Cong said, Wei Chen and Shen Lang left together.
As soon as the two left, Zhan Peng led the four of them in.
Jia Cong stood up to greet him......
"See your lord!"
Four old or middle-aged men bowed down with Zhanpeng, and Jia Cong said weakly: "Get up quickly, you don't have to go outside." ”
Jia Cong, the four people, knew it when he was in Jinling, and the gray-haired person was Zhan Peng's father Zhan Tianshou, and he was followed by Zhan Peng's uncle Zhan Chen.
The latter two are also old buddies of the Fuhai Dart Bureau, Zhanpeng's uncle Liu Dajiang and Song Qianwang.
After everyone got up, Zhan Peng additionally introduced: "My lord, Uncle Liu and Uncle Song are the fathers of Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi. ”
Jia Cong looked over, Liu Dajiang and Song Qianwang hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted again, and said sincerely: "Little girl Duolao Lord take care of it!" ”
Jia Cong was funny in his heart, these two men who looked thin and ugly would actually give birth to such a well-behaved and powerful daughter.
The world is truly magical.
He said with a smile: "It turned out that I was tired of the Fuhai Dart Bureau, not only Zhanpeng helped me a lot, but even my inner family members also bothered you to contribute." ”
Zhan Tianshou hurriedly said: "Where do you speak, adult!" Zhan Peng has always acted recklessly, if it weren't for the adult, not to mention that he would have no place to be buried when he died, even our Fuhai Dart Bureau would be killed by the thief. Adults have a great kindness to me and to my Fuhai Dart Bureau. Villains can contribute a little to adults, and they can repay the kindness of adults, and they are not in vain in this world. I just ask the adults not to be polite, but there is a life, and the exhibition family will go to the soup and the fire, and they will not hesitate! This is also what my mother has repeatedly explained. ”
Jia Cong smiled and praised: "Zhan family, loyal and courageous, chivalrous and courageous, even the old lady can understand the righteousness, Jia Cong admires it very much." ”
Hearing Jia Cong's praise, Zhan Tianshou and his brother Zhan Chen hurriedly bowed down to thank them, only Zhan Peng was happy with a big grin, and after being glared at by his father with a slanted face, he came to his senses and hurriedly thanked him.
After some politeness, Jia Cong said to Liu Dajiang and Song Qianwang: "Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi go to Beijing, you don't have to worry anymore." It's not me who brags about it, although Rongguo Mansion is a high door, the rules of the front house may be heavier, but the back house never treats girls harshly. In addition, several sisters in the family take care of it, and the food and clothing will not be worse than that of the young lady of the ordinary large family. If you have kung fu in your family, you can also go to the capital to visit relatives, and you should chew it back and forth, and it will be mine. ”
Liu Dajiang and Song Qianwang were sincerely afraid, and hurriedly said: "How dare you not worry about your lord?" I'm afraid that the little girl will be vulgar and rude, and if she collides with the nobles, she will never give up. ”
After a few words of laughter back and forth, which not only calmed people's hearts, but also shortened the distance, everyone sat down one by one and got down to business.
Jia Cong said: "I mentioned it last time I was in Jinling, but it was a short time and I didn't have time to talk about it in detail. That's the case, this time I invite you to come, the relationship between the two families is getting closer and closer, and there are some troubles, so I will ask you if you are interested......
Jinyiwei decided to set up an escort department in charge of escort, with one official of 100 households, three trial 100 households, and a number of general and small flags.
The personnel are tentatively set at three hundred, of course, you can also recruit helpers, the more the merrier, but you must understand the rules.
Sooner or later, the escort division will expand to 1,000 households, or even larger.
Ask Zhan Lao, are you interested in condescending to this 100-household position? ”
Poor Zhan Tianshou wanted to live with Tianqi, but he only lived to the age of the sixtieth year, but he was almost happy to die......
That's official!!
It is still a hundred households with six products, and there are only more than 100 people under the command of ordinary 100 households, and one tries 100 households.
There are 300 people under his command, and 3 100 households!
God!
Zhan Tianshou's eyebrows and beard trembled violently for a moment, and then he knelt on the ground with a "poof", the force of kowtowing made Jia Cong worried, "Bang Bang" After three rings, Zhan Tianshou raised his red forehead, and his voice was like Hong Zhong said: "The Zhan family has forty-six mouths, and they are willing to work hard for adults!" But there is a little bit of infidelity, the Zhan family is cut off from children and grandchildren, falls into hell, and suffers from a thousand cuts!! ”
