Chapter 166: Still to my own family

In the Ming Dynasty, the central decision-making was debate in the imperial court, secret deliberations in the celebrant supervisor, and quarrels in the cabinet. Shandong is relatively simple, the so-called three divisions, the political envoy division, the inspection envoy division, and the command envoy department together to decide the big and small things of a province.

In the past, these people from the military and political parties gathered together, and the momentum was quite large, everyone was a high-grade official, and naturally they were hugging each other and having many followers. This time, however, it was quiet, and it looked like a private banquet held by the governor in his own house.

In fact, this meeting was indeed held in the governor's mansion, and when Jinyi Wei Qianhu, who was visiting the news up and down Shandong, had just noticed this secret meeting, and thought that there was some illegal act against the imperial court, and when he was having a headache about how to find out the content of the meeting, he himself received an invitation.

This is a meeting of almost all high-ranking officials in Shandong, and Qianhu, who was originally going to secretly listen to it, rushed to the governor's mansion in a daze.

The servants of the governor's house did not know what was going on in the study, but these big people, who had never blushed in their daily lives, quarreled loudly in the room, and some of them obviously used foul language. The servants did not dare to come near to listen.

However, it is also affirmed that the voice that said this is not the voice of those rude martial artists, not the voice of the general guard of Shandong.

Such a secret meeting is naturally not allowed to be disturbed by others, and the concierge of the governor's house received an order that no one is allowed to come in, but in the afternoon, someone still comes here to put it, and the concierge is quite arrogant to blast people outside, and after reading the other party's documents, he immediately ran inside regardless of his master's order.

In the evening, these high-ranking officials came out of the governor's mansion with different expressions, and everyone was silent. After Liu Shunhua, the right-hand counselor of the political envoy department, returned to his mansion, he suddenly wanted to eat the elbow of Jinan Mansion smoked sauce, and Steward Liu had to come out and buy it himself.

When I passed by a cloth shop, I went in and chatted with the boss for a while before I walked out. After Steward Liu left, the boss of the cloth shop saw that the inventory in the cloth shop was not too much, and it was not too late to see that it was not too late, so he explained some things to the shopkeeper of the store, and decided to hurry up and go out of the city to do some things.

When the city gate was about to close, the boss of the cloth shop went out of Jinan City, exchanged his own carriage for a fast horse outside the city, and galloped towards the north.

By the way, after Liu Shunhua came to Jinan, many of his former relatives came to defect, and the boss of the cloth shop was Liu Fangrui's cousin. No one knows what they have to do yet.

In the Thousand Households of Yantai Mountain, after Xia Qingjiao left, the unexpected Xia Cuiyu and more than a dozen clansmen stayed. Since this place is used as a base, the Xia family of the alliance must also have some manpower to stay here, which is also a perfect strategy. However, something was wrong that Xia Cuiyu didn't even smile when she saw Jiang Feng's face.

Because it still takes some time for Jiang Feng to handle things like road guides, so he lives in the mountains like this, and the clansmen of the Xia family are now much more peaceful, but fortunately, Xia Cuiyu and Su Guanyue and Liu Fangrui get along quite well, which makes Jiang Feng not too much of a headache.

Dengzhou Mansion is more than 500 miles away from Jinan Mansion, and the news is sometimes not as timely as the news from Beijing and Tianjin, and everyone in the dock fort is quietly doing their own thing, because everyone knows that Jiang Feng has been there with a gloomy face and no smile since he received a letter from the fleet at sea.

Jiang Feng has a rare time to stay in the dock fort, arranging the construction of a simple port under the mountain, after all, there is always a preparation for the port to be more, and the recruitment documents of Dengzhou Bingbeidao have been issued, and Bingbeidao has never had any objection to the recruitment of soldiers in the guards below.

Anyway, in the guards in Shandong, basically no one thinks that the soldiers are used to fight, and they are all regarded as not much different from the long-term tenants.

Zhang Yong stopped breathing seven days ago, and after Zhang Yong's death, he ordered three altars to be sacrificed, given a coffin, and the relevant departments handled the funeral and built a hall. Yang Yiqing, a university scholar, wrote an epitaph for him. Later, he posthumously recorded his posthumous merits, and promoted his younger brother Jinyi Qianhu Rong to be the commander of the house, and the steward of the Guardian Hall; His brother Fu is a deputy thousand households in brocade clothes.

This glory can be said to be extremely mournful, Jiang Feng can almost think of Zhang Yong's brothers who are grateful to thank the emperor, but his heart is extremely empty.

When he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, Jiang Feng didn't feel that he had any parents and relatives in his heart, and these things were extremely diluted even in the mind of the previous owner of his body. But a young man in his early twenties, no matter how brave and ruthless he is, no matter how much knowledge he has from hundreds of years later, and sometimes he still hopes for some family affection, Jiang Feng sometimes feels very lonely at night.

The people around Jiang Feng always approached him for one reason or another, either for strong protection or for a steady stream of money. Only this old eunuch, known as one of the Eight Tigers, cares about him sincerely, and cares about him as if he were his own grandfather. For Jiang Feng, who grew up in an orphanage, only the master who taught him Bajiquan had treated him like this.

The middle fingers on both hands are carrying black iron rings, Jiang Feng's hands rubbing there, the metal colliding with each other makes a crisp sound, this action is just unconscious, Jiang Feng is blowing the sea breeze on the watchtower of the dock fort. In a trance, a loved one left him.

The little girl Su Guanxue hadn't been close to Jiang Feng for a long time, and this time she finally waited until Jiang Feng came to the mountain, but there were guests, and her sister always stopped her, afraid that she would disturb Jiang Feng's business.

This time, she saw Jiang Feng alone on the watchtower, and the rest of the people were all avoiding, she naturally didn't know the news of Zhang Yong's death, but she just saw her sister and Liu Fangrui discussing in the house, saying that she had found a suitable time to comfort Jiang Feng, so as not to be too depressed and hurt her body.

"Brother-in-law, come down and play with me!"

This soft and cute children's voice woke Jiang Feng up from the contemplation above the watchtower, and several people in the room heard the little girl's voice, and they all ran to the door of the house, all of them felt that the little girl was too bad at looking at the time, wouldn't Jiang Feng be angry at this time!

Jiang Feng on the top shook his head, looked at the little girl with an expectant face below, and suddenly his depression dissipated a lot, grabbed the railing and jumped down flexibly, after coming down, Su Guanxue was there for joy, in fact, she didn't want to play anything at all. The simple thought in the little girl's heart, as long as she is with her brother-in-law, is very happy in her heart.

After Jiang Feng jumped down, Su Guanxue stood there just smirking, but she didn't know what to play, her red little face looked cute in Jiang Feng's eyes, and she liked it for a while, took a step forward and gently grabbed the little girl with both hands, and threw it up with a slight force.

His usual cultivation is Bajiquan, and his strength and skills are very exquisitely controlled, and the little girl was thrown up by him, but there is no danger at all, and it seems to be flying under Jiang Feng's strength. Screaming in surprise in mid-air, Su Guanxue's smile infected Jiang Feng, and he laughed with it.

Putting the girl on the ground, Su Guanxue wanted to find something to say to Jiang Feng, and asked inexplicably:

"Brother-in-law, why are you so happy today, is there anything happy about it?"

If such words were said by the people below, Jiang Feng's slap would have passed, but such a cute girl asked such words, and he couldn't afford to be angry, but he thought of one thing, and slowly explained:

"Now that the person in charge of my brother-in-law is gone, I can do whatever I want, so I'm very happy."

In the news sent back by Wang Qinian, almost on the day of Zhang Yong's death, many people were ready to smash the Huifeng Building in the Beijing Division, of course, the result was that they were beaten on the head by the Jinyi guards who were obliged to watch the store, and at this time these people knew that the current owner of the Huifeng Building had been replaced by Lu Bing, and now the most trusted person by the emperor in the Beijing Division.

Jiang Feng's depression only lasted for a noon, and in the afternoon, the people of the entire Wubao were put into operation, first Tie Ding was lined up in the capital city, and the chief secretary in the prefect came to recruit people, and prepared to build several stone walls on the mountain road up the mountain to block the mountain road.

In the current situation, the mountain road along the official road is extremely gentle, and even a large cart pulling heavy objects can go up the mountain, although this is quite convenient for the thousands of households in Yantai Mountain, but it is equivalent to a little defense and there is no door wide open. This kind of precaution must be done.

Moreover, the Xia family left the medium-sized sea ship that Xia Cuiyu was riding here, so that the secret port of the thousand households could become an import and export to supplement supplies.

The hundreds of original soldiers and officers on the mountain no longer have the slightest ability to fight, but there are still some mountains on the mountain that have been reclaimed, so they simply leave it to these people to cultivate, and if they are not willing to cultivate, they will be given silver to go down the mountain. If there is any kind of labor work on the mountain, it will be deducted with cash.

Although these people are settled, more than 100 iron soldiers guard a thousand households, and there is also the rotation of the sea fleet, which is far from enough. So Tie Dan, who had only been in the mountains for a few days, was sent out again, and this time the purpose was still the Tianjin Guard, where he went to recruit troops.

As soon as the iron egg left on the front foot, the boss of the cloth shop in Jinan rushed to the Qianhu Office in Yantai Mountain, and he was not good at riding horses. When they arrived at the gate of Wubao, they were already tired and almost collapsed, bringing news to Jiang Feng:

"This case will be remanded for retrial, and someone in Qingzhou will guarantee Dong Long!"
