Chapter 47 The Helping of the People

"Zhenjiang Mansion is now full of mourning, father, have you forgotten the ancestral teachings of our Kang family?" Kang Damao said righteously.

"Shut up! It's not your turn to remind me. Rehabilitation Ji slapped his palm heavily on the board, the teacup was shaken, he gasped for breath in anger, this was the first time that his always well-behaved son dared to talk to himself like this, how could he not be angry.

Kang Damao fell to his knees with a puff, he gritted his teeth and said: "Now that human life is at stake, one more person may die if you delay for a moment, please ask my father to lend me some food temporarily, and I will repay you twice in the future." ”

At this time, Kang Damao had been cornered, and now only his father could help him save the people of Zhenjiang Mansion.

"Mao'er has knelt down and begged you, you can promise him." Zhu persuaded on the side.

Rehabilitation Ji listened to Madame's words, and he pondered with a solemn face.

In fact, the identity of the Zhu family in the Kang family is relatively special, and Fu Ji has always respected his wife, and the two have been respectful to each other for so many years since they got married.

"Alas! Why don't you understand my good intentions? Rehabilitation Ji sighed and said: "I'm not distressed about food, Mao'er, you want to return to Luohe Kang's family to inherit the family business in the future, don't forget that you promised to take the meritorious service for your father and take the career path, I am afraid that you will fall deeper and deeper in Zhenjiang Mansion, I already have no son, I don't want another son to die in Zhenjiang Mansion." ”

Rehabilitation Ji said with a trace of old tears in his eyes, he had a lot of money, but he couldn't stop the tragedy of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, and the death of his son Kang Dacheng last time made him heartbroken.

"Father, as long as you help your son this time, I can do anything in the future, even if I leave, I have to have a beginning and an end, I can't ignore the life and death of the people in a city, even if you become an official in the future, you also hope that your son loves the people like a son, and be a parent official who is supported by the people, you can rest assured, my son will carry forward the lintel of my Kang family in the future, and he will not embarrass you." Kang Damao said resolutely.

At this time, Mother Zhu got up and slowly walked to Rehabilitation Ji's side, she lowered her head and whispered in Rehabilitation Ji's ear: "Master, think about it from another angle, Mao'er will definitely gain the hearts of the people and be supported by the people when he transports grain back this time, which can make him quickly improve his prestige and pave the way for his future career. ”

After hearing this, Fu Ji nodded silently, he looked at the grain requisition instructions of the governor of Caoyun in his hand, and he immediately understood the meaning of Mrs. Zhu's words, if this matter is done, the governor of Caoyun will inevitably look at his son with admiration, and with this relationship, Mao'er will be more prosperous in the future.

"Since your mother has spoken, I can't be too unkind, go ahead, remember, you must pay attention to safety." Rehabilitation Ji thought for a while before he reluctantly agreed.

Kang Damao was overjoyed when he heard this, he bowed to his father and mother and hurriedly led Erhu to the granary to transport grain, this time thanks to his mother, I don't know what his mother and father said just now, but now these are no longer important, and now I have to hurry up and transport the grain to Zhenjiang Mansion.

At this time, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers of the Governor of Caoyun and more than 2,000 green battalion troops of the Governor Hu were fighting on the wharf.

At night, on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, a line of more than a dozen ships of grain transport fleets lined up, slowly moving on the river, Kang Damao stood at the bow of the boat with a solemn face, and he didn't know what the situation was in Zhenjiang Mansion now?

"Brother Da Mao, I'll be in Yangzhou in front." Erhu reminded.

"Well, tell the boat to dock, no one leaves the boat, you are also here to guard, I will go back when I go." Kang Damao got off the boat alone as he spoke, and he went straight to the Cao Gang chief helm to find the three sworn brothers.

After a stick of incense, Kang Damao rushed back, he was followed by the third brother one-eyed dragon, and they were followed by hundreds of Cao Gang brothers, all of whom came to give Kang Damao food, the reason why he shouted so many people, Kang Damao had his own considerations, he didn't want this life-saving food to be robbed as soon as he arrived in Zhenjiang Mansion, whether it was officers and soldiers or ordinary people, they had to beware, this time everyone had food.

Kang Damao and his entourage arrived at the Xijindu Wharf in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and found that the fire on the wharf was crowded, and the shouts of killing were overwhelming, and the two sides were still indistinguishable, which made Kang Damao worried, and now there is no food to enter Zhenjiang Mansion at all.

The second tiger next to him also saw Kang Damao's anxiety, and he proposed: "Brother Damao, if we wait a little longer, I see that our side has the upper hand on the dock." ”

"We can wait, the people can't wait, we can only go ashore at the small wharf, and we will also go to Longmen Port in the southwest of Zhenjiang Prefecture, where we will unload grain one by one." Kang Damao said decisively.

So, the fleet bypassed the Xijindu Pier and went straight to Longmen Port.

I don't know when the news of Kang Damao's grain return spread, the hungry and cold people of Zhenjiang Mansion are all waiting by the river with torches in their hands, when the people on the shore see the fleet on the river and raise the torches excitedly, who knows that the fleet suddenly drove away again, the people suddenly boiled, all staring at the fleet running along the river embankment, where the fleet goes, they follow it, the scene is really worrying.

Kang Damao watched the countless torches on the shore running with the fleet, looking at the anxious faces of the people faintly under the torches, he gritted his teeth and stood in the wind, he firmly believed that it was worth doing all this.

Longmen Port, the people have been waiting anxiously here with torches, and for a while, the entire small wharf was brightly lit, as if even the river and the night sky were illuminated.

Kang Damao stood at the bow of the ship, his robe swayed in the wind, and the firelight red his face, in the eyes of these people, Kang Damao's image at this time was so tall, it was really like a hero's return.

I don't know who took the lead in shouting: "Long live Hero Kang!" Then there was a deafening voice on the entire river: "Long live Kang Hero!" ”

Forehead! Kang Damao was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then he shook his head helplessly, he was still a Kang stupid hat before, but now he has become a Kang hero, but he just smiled, but he never dared to bear the long live in the back, wouldn't it be the same lifespan as the current Kangxi Emperor, this is to roast him on the fire.

Just as Kang Damao was thinking, the people holding torches on the shore all knelt down, and many people were in tears, they were grateful from the bottom of their hearts, and now the government has abandoned them, only Kang Damao risked his life to transport grain back to help everyone.

Kang Damao did not let the grain ship dock immediately, he first let hundreds of brothers of the Cao Gang immediately spread out near Longmen Port, the purpose was to detect the movements of the riot officers and soldiers at any time, and ensure that he would transport this life-saving grain to the shore if nothing went wrong.

When all the Cao Gang brothers were guarding near the dock, the first ship of grain finally docked, and Kang Damao arranged special manpower to maintain order and began to pay food according to each person.

During this period, there was really a small group of green battalion troops to grab grain as Kang Damao expected, and they were all driven away by the Cao Gang brothers and the people, but fortunately, there was no danger, and the green battalion army was dragged by the officers and soldiers of the Caoyun Governor on the Xijindu wharf, so there is no need to worry about it now.

When the sky was bright, Xiaohua brought Abao and Linglong and some family members to help, and finally distributed all the food to the people in one night and one morning, ensuring that everyone had food, and the people could barely cope with it for a few days.

When the two armies were fighting inseparably, the army to suppress the rebellion arrived, and the governor of Jiangsu, Ma Guqin, led the Manchuria Red Banner Army to suppress it, and it took only two hours for the 30,000 troops to behead the more than 2,000 green battalion troops of General Hu and the rebel officers and soldiers of the Ya County of the Fu Ya County at the Xijindu Wharf, and the blood flowed like a river on the wharf, instantly staining the river red, and it was extremely cruel.

Kang Damao looked at the tragic scene on the dock, he frowned and felt deeply, in the final analysis, these officers and soldiers and the green battalion soldiers were forced to rebel, and the root cause of it was the corruption of officials.

The rebellion was suppressed, and the imperial court began to send disaster relief materials to Zhenjiang Mansion one after another, and the matter came to an end, Kang Damao thought that he could rest for a while, but he didn't expect Shen Luojun to come to the door.

During this time, Kang Damao was busy with disaster relief, so he temporarily put aside the porcelain smuggling, Shen Luojun couldn't help much, she has been investigating the cause of Kang Dacheng's death recently, and now she finally has a clue.

According to Shen Luojun's secret investigation, the group of black-clothed ninjas who disappeared before had recently appeared in Yaowan Town, and these black-clothed ninjas killed a porcelain merchant in Yaowan Town, which can be determined to be related to porcelain smuggling.

In order to find out the cause of his eldest brother's death, and Shen Luojun to return his father's innocence, the two decided to go to Yaowan Town to investigate.

In addition, Kang Damao never expected that when he left, Zhenjiang Mansion was empty, and all the people came to Xijindu Wharf to say goodbye, Kang Damao rubbed his eyes and whispered: "It's really like life and death, perhaps, this trip will rarely have a chance to come back." ”

After saying that, he turned around without looking back, and looked ahead, his eyes were a little deep.
