Chapter 747: Robbers on the Waterway! (Ask for a full order!) )
In real history, the Northern Song Dynasty did not have such an establishment of 12 regiments and battalions, but this world integrates the plot of the Red Mansion, so there are also these 12 regiments and battalions in the establishment of the forbidden army.
They are:
Four martial arts battalions: Fenwu Battalion, Yaowu Battalion, Lianwu Battalion, Xianwu Battalion,
Four Brave Battalions: Dare Battalion, Fruit Battalion, Serve Brave Battalion, Drum Brave Battalion,
Siwei Battalion: Liwei Battalion, Shenwei Battalion, Yangwei Battalion, Zhenwei Battalion.
These 12 regiments and battalions, each battalion of 10,000 people, although there is a serious problem of empty salaries, there are still 6,000 or 7,000 people in one battalion.
Hua Twelve commanded the Zhenwei Battalion, and his responsibilities were heavy, and under normal circumstances, he could not ask for leave to leave Tokyo Bianliang, not to mention that his top boss Wang Ziteng was still troublesome with him, this kind of thing was impossible to accommodate at all, but he had the endorsement of Gao Taiwei, and that was a matter of one sentence.
Gao Yu: Don't mention me, my heart hurts.
Lin Ruhai's situation is unknown, regardless of whether his illness was poisoned or not, but he has been patrolling the salt imperial history for many years, and it is definitely right not to deal with the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and even to have a grudge, so this time he went to Yangzhou, Hua Twelve planned to bring Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen.
He was mainly afraid of encountering any situation, no matter how much he could fight, he would not be able to do anything, so he brought these two masters under his command just in case.
According to the principle of human feelings, Lin Daiyu should go to Rongguo Mansion to say goodbye to Jia's mother when she returned to Yangzhou this time, the little girl also thought so, and discussed with Hua Twelve, the latter did not object, no matter how bad his impression of those people in Rongguofu was, it could not change the fact that Sister Lin was Jia's mother's granddaughter.
However, of course, Hua Twelve was not worried that Lin Daiyu would go to Rongguo Mansion by herself, for fear that her sister would be bullied, before leaving Bianliang, he accompanied her sister to step into the gate of Rongguo Mansion for the second time.
This time, the Jia family was much more peaceful, but Jia Yu and Jia Zheng did not come forward, Jia Lian accompanied Hua Twelve to drink tea in the front hall, and Lin Daiyu was invited into the Rongqing Hall to talk to Jia's mother.
After the maid served the tea, the two who talked well last time were relatively speechless this time.
Hua Twelve didn't feel embarrassed, tasting the tea leaves of Rongguo Mansion, feeling much better than what he had from Gao Yu, he couldn't help but pout a little, and said that he was still light, defrauding Rongguo Mansion of so much silver, why didn't he see it broken.
Gao Yu: Don't mention me, somehow, my liver is uncomfortable!
Jia Lian glanced at Hua Twelve from time to time, with a complicated look in his eyes, and a hint of hatred, thinking that he knew from Wang Xifeng that Bacheng was that this Lin Chong had cheated their family a lot of money.
Hua Twelve faced this kind of look, calmly, looking at how it was to have a little piece of meat in two eyes, think about the 35,000 taels of gold, Emma is so fragrant!
Speaking of the entire Rongguo Jia family, Hua Twelve has the best impression of Jia Lian in front of him, although the second son of Lian also has something bad to do, but compared to others, he is more humane.
In the original plot, Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, and it was Jia Lian who escorted Lin Daiyu home to visit her father, going back and forth thousands of miles back and forth, safely and without any scandals.
His father Jia Yu fell in love with the stone nerd's ancient fan and sent Jia Lian to buy it forcibly, but the people were unwilling, so Jia Lian had no choice but to give up and did not force it.
When he turned back, Jia Yucun found an excuse to put the stone nerd in prison, and seized the fan and gave it to Jia Yu.
Jia Yu beat Jia Lian violently for this reason, thinking that he couldn't do things, but after Jia Lian was beaten, he said, "It's nothing to do for this idea, and make people bankrupt!" From this, it can be seen that he has a clear conscience.
There is also Wang Xifeng's companion to the son of Laiwang, who usually eats wine and gambles, but he takes a fancy to Mrs. Wang's girl Caixia, but Caixia is bent on marrying Jia Huan, and in order to let his son succeed, the Laiwang family came forward to ask Wang Xifeng to be a lobbyist.
Lin Zhixiao privately persuaded Jia Lian, and after telling the shortcomings of Wang's son, Jia Lian immediately persuaded Wang Xifeng not to meddle in his affairs, which shows that his kindness still exists, unlike Wang Xifeng, who forced people to die in order to make a small profit to Rongguo Mansion.
As for Jia Lian being lustful and greedy for money?
Huh, that's a disadvantage? Which man is not like that!
Especially in feudal society, not to mention three wives and four concubines, there are more than a dozen rooms, or even dozens of concubines, and there are many people, and how many people are in Jia Lian's room?
Compared with other gentlemen, Hua Twelve felt that Jia Lian's gentleness was much more pleasing to the eye.
Of course, this good impression is nothing more, Jia Lian doesn't provoke him, Hua Twelve won't do anything to him, the two naturally get along well, if the other party and his wife who is in trouble generally don't know what to do, then he won't show mercy to his subordinates.
I thought that the two of them would not care about anyone like this, but I didn't expect Jia Lian to be angry, put down the tea bowl, and asked directly:
"General Lin, there are only you and me in this hall at this time, you tell the truth, did you ask someone to do the deception?"
Hua Twelve laughed when he heard this, he did this, can he admit what happened? Jia Lian This is an oil shuttle whitish, short refining, if you roll in the court for a few years, you won't ask this.
He smiled and said, "Guess!"
Jia Lian looked at his angry expression, where he didn't know that it had anything to do with him, thinking of the 35,000 taels of gold that Wang Xifeng's ruined girls were pitted, he couldn't help but ask angrily:
"The last time you came to my house, no one else cared, I still treat you as a relative, how can you do such a thing......
Without waiting for him to finish, Hua Twelve directly waved his hand to interrupt:
"Second Brother Lian, let's ask my sister-in-law, whose relatives let people ambush people on the night road, planning to splash a lot of feces? Which family's relatives have bought the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, planning to embarrass their relatives and the future of the bad guys? Such a relative is really a little scared!"
Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this: "There is such a thing? Tell me carefully!"
Hua Twelve smiled faintly: "That's what I said, that's also a one-sided word, but it falls behind the back to say right and wrong, so why bother talking, if the second brother Lian really wants to know, go back and ask the second sister-in-law of Lian to understand the cause and effect!"
He deliberately accentuated the words 'cause and effect', so that Jia Lian understood that water has a source, trees have roots, and there is a reason why you are pitted with 35,000 taels of gold, and you are not responsible for the facts? Telling the truth is also your first hand!
Jia Lian was said by Hua Twelve, his face was cloudy, and he said after a while, "Then wait until I ask......
After speaking, he seemed to feel that his tone was a little stiff again, and after holding it for a long time, he said again: "Drink tea!"
Hua Twelve was amused by him like this, nodded, picked up the tea and drank it all.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a figure ran in, with a happy face on his face: "Second Brother Lian, is Sister Lin here?"
As soon as the words fell, he saw that Hua Twelve was also in the hall, and suddenly his smile retracted: "You ......, why are you here?"
The person who came was the big face treasure.
Hua Twelve's face turned cold: "I naturally came because I was afraid that my sister would be bullied by some cat or dog, little fat man, if you dare to go to Rongqing Hall now, I will dare to kill you in Rongguo Mansion, do you believe it or not?"
After he finished speaking, he pressed his left hand on the teacup, closed his five fingers, and the teacup was crushed by him with a click, and then twisted it into powder.
Hua Twelve did all this, and his expression was indifferent during the whole process, but his eyes revealed a cold killing intent.
The big-faced treasure looked at Hua Twelve's eyes, and he felt a chill all over his body, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, his face pale and speechless.
Jia Lian still had some responsibility, although he was also a little afraid, but he still said in a trembling voice: "General Lin, Baoyu..., he..., he is still young, what do you scare him to do!"
Hua Twelve's momentum was retracted, and he showed a smile like a spring breeze to Jia Lian: "Second Brother Lian said that he was joking, I was playing with him, where was it to scare him!"
Jia Baoyu felt wet under his buttocks at this time, and when he looked down, his face was flushed, and he cried out, got up and turned around and ran.
Hua Twelve pointed to a puddle of water stains on the ground and laughed: "No, it's scared!"
Seeing this, Jia Lian shook his head with a wry smile, this time the old lady knew about it, and he couldn't afford to provoke this Lin Chong, but he had to be scolded, and sighed:
"Baoyu has a heart for flowers, but he is simple-minded, and he doesn't have any unbearable thoughts, so why should you meet him in general!"
Hua Twelve rolled his eyes: "Second Brother Lian, you can forget it, first of all, he is not simply your family's business, my Lin family girl wants fame, and secondly, this simple-minded big-faced treasure in your mouth has already broken the pure yang body, how simple can this be?" Do you mean simple, if you haven't been to a place like a kiln?"
When Jia Lian heard this, he was shocked and said, "How is this possible? Baoyu, how old is he......
Hua Twelve waved his hand and interrupted: "I am a person who practices martial arts, there is no mistake in this, I think the simple person is Second Brother Lian, you are right!"
Jia Lian thought that Jia Baoyu usually likes to run into the girl's boudoir, and sometimes rolls in his wife's arms, and suddenly feels nauseous, as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
It was tea again, Lin Daiyu came out of Rongqing Hall suddenly, her eyes were a little red, obviously she was talking to Jia Mu about something sad.
Seeing Daiyu come out, Hua Twelve got up and said goodbye to Jia Lian.
After leaving Jiafu and returning home, Lin Daiyu said: "Brother, my grandmother asked Second Brother Lian to go to Yangzhou with us, and her old man said that my father is her son-in-law and the elder of Second Brother Lian, so let Second Brother Lian do his filial piety, and it is also her old man's heart!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Hua Twelve carefully, as if she was afraid that he would not agree.
Hua Twelve rubbed Lin Daiyu's head, and agreed with a smile: "Since it is your grandmother's heart for your uncle, what right do I have to object, let Second Brother Lian go to Yangzhou with us!"
He knew in his heart that Jia's mother had not given up the idea of being out of business, and probably thought that Lin Ruhai was no good, and wanted Jia Lian to go to Yangzhou to ask for the custody of Sister Lin, and then naturally take over the property of the Lin family.
On the day of departure, Hua Twelve originally planned to ride a horse on land, Lin Daiyu and a few other girls had already entered the Ming Dynasty to practice national arts with him, and it was not a big deal to ride a horse to Yangzhou, but the Jia family directly got a two-story boat and simply took the waterway.
Since he was taking the waterway by boat, Hua Twelve simply brought the whole family with him, leaving only his father-in-law Zhang Jiaotou to help him take care of his house in Bianliang.
On this day, I boarded the ship at the pier and saw Jia Lian again, the latter's face was complicated after meeting, and there was a tangled look, but there was less faint hatred before, it is estimated that Wang Xifeng asked the cause and effect, but the hurdle of 35,000 taels of gold could not be passed, so he showed some entanglement.
After boarding the ship, a group of female dependents were arranged on the second floor, while Hua Twelve, Luda, and Yang Zhi lived on the first floor.
Jia Lian was very interested, and when she saw that Zhang Zhenniang also lived on the second floor, she simply didn't go upstairs, but she didn't want to see Hua Twelve, so she simply spent most of her time in the cabin and rarely showed up.
The building boat departed from Kaifeng, went to the canal along the Luoqu, there was nothing to say all the way, this evening was close to Huaiyin, and it was planned to go to Huaiyin overnight, and the next day it could turn around and go south, directly to Yangzhou.
But as soon as I had dinner, I saw a merchant ship moored in the river in front of me, with more than a dozen people on board fighting, and there were many corpses on the deck, which looked very miserable.
Yang Zhi and Luda both looked at Hua Twelve, and the latter muttered, "Let's take a look first!"
Jia Lian heard the movement and came out to check, and was immediately startled when he saw such a scene, and told the boatman to get around quickly, don't get close, and the province shocked the female relatives on the ship.
Originally, Yang Zhi and Luda showed disdain when they heard Jia Lian being so timid, but when they heard him mention that they were afraid of disturbing their daughters, they both felt that it made sense, so they simply put out their nosy thoughts.
But someone on the merchant ship saw the banner of the Rongguo Mansion on this side, and immediately shouted:
"Which nobleman from the Rongguo Mansion is on the boat, I am the left-behind division of the Daimyo Mansion to manage the army, it was originally the old department of the Rongguo, this time I encountered a thief who hijacked the ship, please help quickly!"
Jia Lian was immediately embarrassed when he heard this, he originally planned to stay out of the matter, but at this time, he heard that the other party was actually the old department of Rongguo, if this was not done, the reputation of Rongguo Mansion would be stinky, but if he wanted to take care of this matter, he had no ability, so he could only look at Hua Twelve who was watching the play on the side for help.
Hua Twelve said loudly: "This Tishi, how many years has it been since the Rongguo Gongdu Immortal passed away, where did you come from the old Rongguo Department?"
The man was holding a big axe and was dying with two strong men with simple knives
Dou, hearing this, he suddenly said angrily:
"I joined the forbidden army when I was a teenager, and now that I have passed the age of establishment, how come I haven't seen Dai Shangong!"
One of the two strong men who were fighting with him cried out:
"What Rongguo Mansion, get away from Lao Tzu, if you take care of this matter today, Lao Tzu will cut one by one, kill it or bury it!"
The person who spoke was red-haired and red-bearded, had a vicious appearance, and the knife skills in his hands were quite exquisite, and he used ruthless moves, and he looked like a murderer.
There were other thieves on the ship who fought fiercely with Natiha's men, and at this time they cut down a few more, and when they heard this, they all shouted:
"That's right, if you dare to meddle in your affairs, Lao Tzu will kill and bury it!"
After saying that, these thieves burst out laughing.
Lu Zhishen was so excited, and shouted loudly to the boatman on his side: "Come over quickly, I want to see how these birdmen can kill the Sprinkle family!"
As he spoke, he had already gone to the cabin and fetched the sixty-two pounds of water-mill Zen staff.
Jia Lian walked up to Hua Twelve and asked for help, "General Lin, Brother Lin, you can help you get an idea!"
Hua Twelve smiled faintly and said, "Second Brother Lian is afraid of something, with our brother here, not to mention just these few thieves, even a hundred and eighty strong men are not enough for our brother to kill!"
Jia Lian was relieved when he heard this, so he had the courage to let the boatman get closer.
