The army of the imperial court will inevitably endure years and months, not only consuming grain and grass, losing labor, but also disturbing the stability of the Quartet. This is the so-called labor and loss of money.

Therefore, in the era of peace, except for a cadre of generals, there were really few of the 100 officials of the Manchu Dynasty who wanted to fight.

This group of Taihu Lake water thieves alone, they don't talk about the rules of being thieves, they only care about the reincarnation of evil ghosts to grab silver, and they grow crazy again, and they have broken many counties in just one year, not to mention, even the bandits and bandits in the south of the Yangtze River have also robbed them all over!

How many Beijing officials' money bags are in the south of the Yangtze River, and now they have been stirred up by the water thieves in Taihu Lake, and the filial piety cannot be collected, and the water thieves in Taihu Lake naturally attracted the ministers of the court to crusade in unison.

For example, the Zhen family, although located in Jinling Province, is the head of the Jiangnan family, and the momentum is even greater than that of the four major families of Jia Shixue Wang, and they have taken over the emperor four times. It's just that the Zhen family has also spent a lot of money because of several drivers, and they are all counting on Baimei Mountain to make money on the salt road. As a result, he didn't want Song Jiang to kill halfway, and wiped out the White Coal Mountain in one go.

The Zhen family hated it so much, this time General Yuhang's mansion suppressed the bandits, and the Zhen family used their strength to support it.

And places such as the White Coal Mountain, where black and white colluded, were wiped out by Taihu Lake bandits in this year, far more than one.

It is precisely because of the wanton plundering of Taihu Lake and breaking most of the chain of interests in the past of Jiangnan that the four families of Jinling came to Jiangnan like fishy fish. Wang Zisheng came to find the water to dissolve into the game, thinking about getting a piece of the pie.

Although the family is high, this method of making money is really dirty.

Although Shui Rong inherited the palace, but in the end he was young, it was the time when he was full of spirit, and he was determined to cultivate himself and benefit the country as Confucianism said. In addition, he is in the north and grew up in Kyoto, where can he know about the Jiangnan deeds, and it is no wonder that King Zhongshun said that he was high and did not eat the fireworks of the world.

These words are clearly derogatory.

At this time, looking at the person who bowed over to deliver the word for the governor of Jiangnan, Shui Rong inevitably thought that Prince Zhongshun was watching him laugh in Kyoto!

He angrily drove people away, turned around and scolded: "Jiangnan officials, no matter how big or small, can be killed!" ”

Of course you should kill you!

The soldiers on duty in the Beijing camp around each other, only caring about burying their heads in a deaf and dumb state.

Shui Rong scolded and was still angry, looked around, pointed to the corpse of the Jingying soldier at his feet and asked, "Where is Sima Jia Lian from other departments!" Some of the people died unexpectedly, and their bodies were thrown under the king's corridor, and no one knew what to do! ”

Captain Shi Xiu had already arrived, and at this moment he could only step forward and reply: "Back to the prince, when Jia Lian arrived in Yangzhou, he had already taken leave and left the camp and went to mourn. ”

Jia Lian knew about leaving the camp, but he forgot about it in a moment of anger. The wife of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History, the fourth aunt of Rongguo Mansion died, Jia Lian, as a nephew, was the closest, and he should go to mourn.

Only then did Shui Rong realize that he was a little out of shape, and he calmed down a little, and asked people to carry the corpses of the dead soldiers down first.

After the venue was emptied, the water dissolved back into the house, and Shi Xiu came in to ask for instructions:

"Lord Wang, do we still want to continue to investigate this white coal mountain?"

The mission of the imperial court to the water dissolved was to go south to recruit water thieves in Taihu Lake, not to investigate the salt road in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, when Shi Xiu led people to the government to transfer the files of Baimei Mountain, he was prevaricated by the officials of the government left and right, which can be said to be a backlog of anger.

Now that someone has died because of this, if Shui Rong still wants to investigate, Shi Xiu plans to arrest and interrogate those few perfunctory officials first!

Shui Rong was originally angry because the governor of Jiangnan forced people to force him, but after sitting for a while at this time, after calming down, he had to shake his head. "Don't check, just call everyone back, I'll rest for a day and return to Beijing early..."

The water of this Jiangnan Salt Administration is too deep, and it is only at this moment that Jia Lian's uncle, that Yangzhou Imperial History Lin Ruhai has been in the Salt Administration for several terms, and he directly became the chief official of the Salt Administration as the Imperial History, which is simply unprecedented. If there is no emperor or nod from the emperor for such re-election, how could Lin Ruhai do it?

There is a high probability that this matter was done by the Emperor Taishang, Lin Ruhai was holding silver for the Emperor......

Shui Rong shook his head, no matter how loyal he was to serve the country, he would not be willing to participate in the battle between Emperor Taishang and Emperor Yonglong.

It's just that Shui Rong is a little angry, and he said to Shi Xiu, who was on standby: "I'm going back to Beijing, but the corpse of the dead Beijing camp soldier was carried to Yangzhou Mansion for me, and I asked them to arrest the murderer Baimei Mountain Yudang to go to Kyoto to see me!" ”

Shui Rong defined the death of this soldier as a murder case, and the smuggling case in White Coal Mountain was not investigated, but no matter what he wanted, he had to deal with those remnants of the thieves!

……

Yangzhou City, when the water dissolved for the imperial court's ambition was difficult to pay, Zhao Yan was in the city's salt envoy Yamen.

Lin Ruhai's wife Jia Min died of illness after all, and during the period of the suspension of the spirit, Jia Lian received a letter sent by Lin Ruhai, so he came to kneel and send, wearing filial piety clothes, and accompanied Lin Daiyu to be a filial son for a few days.

After Jia Min was buried, Lin Ruhai called Jia Lian and said that he would send Daiyu to Kyoto and ask Jia Lian to take care of it.

Jia Lian heard about Daiyu's entry into Beijing for the first time, it turned out that Jia's mother in Kyoto also sent a letter, she knew the situation of the Lin family, her granddaughter was sick, and her mother went again, so she asked Lin Ruhai to send Daiyu to Rongguo Mansion to take care of.

Lin Ruhai had already had this intention, and just hit it off, and asked Jia Lian to bring Daiyu when he returned to Beijing.

Lin Ruhai explained to Jia Lian: "I am nearly half a hundred years old, and after your aunt goes, there is no intention of continuing the room. Daiyu is very young, and she has no sisters and brothers to support her, if she goes to the old lady, she can also reduce my worries..."

Jia Lian saw that Lin Ruhai said that his feelings were sincere, and the tips of his gray hair were full of old tears, and he was also emotional for a while, and said: "In this case, I will take Daiyu's sister away, and my uncle can rest assured, I will not let someone bully her." It's just that on the way, I want to follow the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, and it is not good to bring the female dependents, so I asked Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong to take Daiyu by boat and follow behind the Qincha team. They are my brothers, and they are both very reliable people. ”

Lin Ruhai nodded, and said: "I have Xibinjiayu Village in Fuzhong, he is from the two lists of Jinshi, and he is also the same branch as your ancestors. ”

Jia Lian agreed.

In this way, the matter of Daiyu's entry into the Rongguo Mansion was decided. Jia Lian summoned Zhao Tianliang and asked when the Qincha team would leave, and replied that it would not be between two days after tomorrow.

The time was a little anxious, but fortunately, Lin Ruhai had already made the ship ready. Daiyu was reluctant when she first heard that she was going north, and only after Lin Ruhai's persuasion did she tearfully agree.

In the afternoon of the next day, the team headed north.

Daiyu took the nurse Wang Mama and a maid Snow Goose with her, plus a few grandmothers sent by Jia's mother to help take care of Jia Min's later generations, and the number was not large. However, Lin Ruhai didn't want Daiyu to live in Rongguo Mansion for a long time, but just let Daiyu and Jia's mother get acquainted.

When Jia Lian saw Jia Yucun when he boarded the boat, he had a good impression of him, he took two scholars, rented a boat, and accompanied him behind Daiyu's boat.
