(Cai Juan's "Discussion on the Iron Siege Mountain" mentions that "in the ban of the national dynasty, it is called Chengyu and the concubine, mostly because of the story of the Tang Dynasty, saying that the supreme is the official, the queen is the saint, and the concubine is the lady.") "It is not wrong to call the queen a saint above, and the author of history is not afraid of readers pointing out mistakes, and most afraid of running out to refute them without knowing anything...... ）

Mutant vampire bats, their whole bodies are red as fire, fast as lightning, flying like a fluttering flame, sucking people's brains, killing the enemy in just a moment, fortunately there are only two hours of life, otherwise Zhao Hao is really worried that they will scatter everywhere and cause trouble to the people.

Overnight, the elite of the Salt Gang was almost wiped out, but they couldn't report to the official, and it was useless to report it. First, the Salt Gang was originally a private and illegal gang, and there were many disputes in the rivers and lakes, and the government has always rarely managed it; Second, the Salt Gang was killed by monsters, and the government couldn't do anything about it.

The huge salt gang, only the original hall master Zhanfei can get his hands on it, and the rest are all busy people, I am afraid that the position of the first gang in Jiangnan is difficult to protect.

Under such circumstances, the sage (empress) in Beijing had made it clear that he would not interfere in the grievances between the Zheng Mansion and the Jiangning region, which made Zheng Qing completely lose his confidence. Without the support of the queen, the old man Zheng An is hanging, what confidence does he have to compete with Zhao, Xie, and Wang?

And the most important thing is that Zheng Qing is even more worried that Zhao Hao will be angry, and if he releases that kind of monster to fly to Zheng's mansion, he will die unexplained.

So the Zheng Mansion, which has always been arrogant and domineering, finally bowed to the Zhao family completely. Zheng Qing personally visited Wang Hanzhi, to the effect that the Zheng Mansion and the Zhao Mansion were both relatives of the emperor, but there were many misunderstandings, and he asked the Lord of the Mansion to mediate.

As a local parent official, Wang Hanzhi naturally didn't want to fight back and forth with several major mansions, so he immediately agreed. As Xie Yun, he was worried about his son's safety all day long, and he was worried that he would transfer his son to the capital when he reached the palace, and he couldn't ask for it.

So, Zhao Shixuan and Zheng Qing, as the heads of the two houses, under the mediation of Wang Hanzhi, shook hands in the most luxurious seat of Chunfeng Building, and invited Wang Tong and Xie Wen to testify by the way.

As for Zhao Hao, he is not a person who is unforgiving, time has passed, the Zheng family is already a water dog, and he can't raise his interest in fighting with it, he is happy to be at ease, and he only wanders by the Qinhuai River, Ziming Garden, Millennium Temple and other places every day.

The dispute between Zhao and Zheng, which was full of turmoil in the city, finally came to an end.

……

As soon as the Double Ninth Festival passed, the sky was getting cooler, and the city of Jiangning was already full of fallen leaves, and when the wind blew, there was a rustling sound everywhere.

At this time, Zhao Hao was obsessed with a sport, that is, running.

That day, he fought with Chen Huan, and actually ate five small pills in a row to replenish his strength, but he still couldn't consume that guy, which made him deeply feel the importance of exercising.

It's just that the son of Zhao Fu is running, but it is accompanied by dozens of people before and after, someone in front of him is open, someone in the back is broken, and there are people on the left and right wings to protect him.

Time passed like this, there was no dispute, no pretending to slap the face, only the years were quiet, everything was silent, if it wasn't for the matter of Fang Laming's religion in his heart, Zhao Hao once thought that he was going to spend his life in Jiangnan after all and be a rich man.

Fangla's main activity area is in Liangzhejiang Road, because Liangzhejiang Road is most harmed by Huashigang, so Mingjiao's propaganda is the most marketable, although Jiangnan East Road also has a force to develop, but the effect is not good.

Originally, I wanted to use the cracking of the Zheng family's Baizi medicine to introduce the case, expand the influence of Mingjiao, increase the people's hatred and indignation against the government and the rich gentry, and expand the power of Mingjiao on Jiangnan East Road, but Zhao Hao was inserted in the middle, and finally led to the government.

In addition, that night, Fang La and the others were surrounded by Zhao Hao's sudden sacrifice of Wei Wushu, and the elite of the Ming Sect was almost wiped out, which made Fang La temporarily give up the development of power in the area of Jiangning Mansion.

Therefore, Zhao Hao wanted to do something to stop Fang La's uprising and avoid the destruction of the lives in Jiangnan, but he was powerless after all.

Although there is a system in hand, this system in the initial stage only has some small props, which can strengthen the body, protect yourself in danger, and pretend to be gorgeous...... But it is not enough to dominate the situation and turn the tide, in the general trend of the world, he is still just a small person, and it is difficult to control the overall situation.

However, after Zhao Hao was away for more than half a month, when he was having nothing to do, Xie Yun suddenly told him to pack up his belongings and go to Hangzhou.

After half a year of ups and downs, Xie Yun found that Zhao Hao had become very fond of tossing...... used to like tossing in the Qinglou, but now she likes to do things, which always makes her a mother feel uneasy.

The Zhao family's industries are all over the south of the Yangtze River, not only the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the two Zhejiang roads and Fujian roads. Zhao Shixuan is honest, has no talent for business, and it is not suitable to talk about business if he has an official body, he rarely cares about business matters, and relies on Xie Yun to support him.

Xie Yun didn't want Zhao Hao to run his own industry in person, and the prospective daughter-in-law who will pass through next year is also quite business-like, so there is no need to worry that no one will take over in the future. It's just that I will go to Hangzhou for at least more than a month, and I am worried that this stinky boy will be lawless and make some big noise, so I simply take him out for a walk and grow into the world.

A few days later, Zhao Hao said goodbye to Wang Jue, Xie Yu, Yang Fang and others, and then followed his mother on both land and water, all the way south to Hangzhou.

……

"The Battle of Huashigang, "Poison the Prefecture and County for 20 years......"

"Huizong is in his old age, and he is suffering from the crowd, and the national strength cannot support ......"

From Jiangning to Hangzhou, along the way, Zhao Hao finally deeply felt the harm of Huashigang, and finally understood why there were so many Maier women in Jiangning City.

Entering Liangzhejiang Road, the further south you go, the more people flee.

The flood on Liangzhejiang Road is much more serious than the flood on Jiangnan East Road, and many people have been displaced, hungry, and starvation can be seen everywhere on the road.

And Huashigang is even worse for the people of Liangzhejiang.

Zhao Hao looked all the way, only to see that along the waterway, there were people who were persecuted by Hua Shigang and their families were ruined.

In Changzhou Mansion, he heard that there was a large family, surnamed Chen, and an ancestral red coral in the family, several feet high, had been passed down for six or seven generations, but it was favored by the official army.

The head of the official army in charge of this matter did not ask for it directly, but took the opportunity to blackmail, promising that he could destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster, and as long as he handed over 3,000 yuan of money, he would not take his red coral. Chen thought about it again and again, and finally felt that the heirloom could not be lost, so he gave up half of his family wealth and scraped together 3,000 yuan to give the capital.

However, something happened to Chan's despair.

After the head of the capital went, the deputy head of the capital came again, asking for two thousand yuan; Then ten generals asked for 1,000 guan, 500 suo, and Yu Hou suo 200 guan, and the bureau and the detainees came one after another......

In the end, the Chen family scattered all their wealth, but after all, they failed to keep the red coral, and in grief and anger, they smashed the red coral, burned down the house, and then the father and son committed suicide by poisoning, and a solid family died out.

Of course, Chen's this is just a case, and most people, as long as the rare stones in their homes are targeted by the government, they have to give them obediently, but this is also not enough.

There is no good oil and water, even if you voluntarily offer the treasure, you will also face the end of the destruction of the family. In order to ensure that "the treasure is intact", if you don't break the money and open up the joints, a palm-sized rare stone, he will also destroy the wall and tear down the house to facilitate the transportation of the strange stone.

In the territory of Yixing, along the area of the Xili River, not only dig the river bridge, destroy the weir and dismantle the gate, so as to facilitate the ships transporting the flower and stone to cross, and the houses on both sides of the bank are painted with the word "demolition", claiming that the river will be expanded here, so that the boats of the Huashi Gang can pass.

The funniest thing is that some of the houses are twenty or thirty miles away from the river, and they are also painted with the word "demolition".

The government soldiers and bandits, scheming and looting, looting the people's fat and ointment, have reached the point of madness!

Along the way, the people cried and complained, the officials and soldiers were like wolves and tigers, and they were extremely vicious, but Zhao Hao was helpless.

It's not that he didn't do anything, he went out with 3,000 yuan of money and silver, and he gave 2,000 yuan along the way, fortunately Xie Yun is very open-minded and has no opinion.

When encountering the officials and soldiers who took advantage of the robbery, Zhao Hao even stepped forward, competed with reason, and refuted those bandit-like officials and soldiers, the other party saw that he was a disciple of the clan, and he knew that he was at a loss, and most of them would give face and let it go.

It's just that, compared to the disaster of the entire Liangzhejiang Road, these good deeds made by Zhao Hao are too insignificant.

Hurried all the way, and finally entered the Taihu Lake area, Zhao Hao also followed Xie Yun on the Taihu Lake by merchant ship. After Taihu Lake, it is the land of Huzhou, and further south is Hangzhou.

On the Taihu Lake, the wind and waves are calm, the waves are sparkling, the fishing boats come and go, and the water birds are flying, but it is a good scenery, which makes Zhao Hao's mood feel a lot more comfortable.

However, not far from the entrance of Taihu Lake, the boats in front of them suddenly became chaotic and sailed away one after another.

Several clippers of the officers and soldiers came at a gallop, driving the ships along the way.

"The Huashi Gangzhou passed by, and the ships avoided it, and they couldn't stand in the way!"

The merchant ships of the Zhao family were naturally no exception, hurriedly pulling up their sails, and dozens of boats swayed in unison, quickly moving away from the lake here.

After two or three hundred feet, Zhao Hao boarded the deck and looked at the lake from a distance, and couldn't help but gasp.

A huge stone mountain more than 20 zhang high moves on the surface of the lake!
