Chapter 375: Touring the countryside south of the Yangtze River, the heavens and the earth are returning to their fate
Fujian, Anping Port.
Jia Lian heard that Ni Er, Huang Xin and others had led their troops to land on Dayuan Island, and his heart was settled.
Immediately, on the one hand, he ordered the transfer of military supplies and grain in various provinces, and on the other hand, he also summoned him to drive north to Hangzhou Mansion in Zhejiang.
In the end, Fujian is more remote, and it is not as accessible as Hangzhou to the provinces and order the southeast.
What's more, the rising Songjiang Mansion is next door, and Jia Lian has the heart to go around.
In late spring and March, the grass is full of warblers.
There was already an edict so that the local governor and governor did not have to meet him, and Jia Lian arrived in Hangzhou Mansion by himself, and then settled in the city by himself, occupying the prefect's yamen.
After inspecting Hangzhou for a few days, he traveled lightly to Pudong County, Songjiang Prefecture, and summoned wealthy businessmen and gentry to foreign businessmen.
Since the opening of Pudong Port, even the thousand-year-old commercial port of Guangzhou in the south has been deserted a lot, and there is no need to talk about the prosperity of Pudong New County.
Jia Lian stayed for half a month and turned around satisfied.
On this day, when he arrived at the edge of the Qiantang River, it was already dusk, and he did not pass through the state and county, Jia Lian drove the sun and traveled for a while, and the fast horse asked people to go forward to pack up the official post and rest.
Under the willow tree in front of the post house, there were already people waiting for them, and when they saw the front riding over, they made their intentions clear, and said: "The villain is Du Xing, the local housekeeper, and I have heard that the Taishi car driver has rested here, so I came to try some luck, and I don't want to really see the nobleman!"
Not long after, the master arrived here.
Two guards in bullfighting suits led Duchenne forward on the left and right.
Jia Lian looked at his face while driving, and saw that he was born with a broad face and square cheeks, bright eyes and big ears, and a vulgar face.
The outside is a brown straight coat, and the inside is a brand-new white shirt, wearing a scarf, and it really looks like a country steward.
Jia Lian said, "Some people say that you are acting sneaky and specially stopping this official, why did you stop it?"
Du Xing saw the salute and said with a smile: "I am fortunate to be blessed by God, so that the villain can see the majesty of the Taishi. This place is simple, and my master has told me to wait here, and if there is a chance, I will ask the master to move to the village to serve."
Zhao Tiandong on the side immediately sneered: "What kind of mustard are you, dare to come and invite? No matter how broken the house in front of it is, it is also stained with an official word. I advise you to turn back, the master is kind-hearted, and I can spare you a meal."
Du Xing hurriedly said: "Please have mercy on the master, my master has rushed to hear the news, if he sees that the villain is not doing well and does not keep the nobleman, where is the villain's life?"
Because he stopped this for a while, some of his guards said, "The master of his house is here."
Before I finished a word, I saw someone early.
Several entourages stopped outside, and a forty-year-old man with swallow jaws and ape arms walked over quickly, and when he arrived at the chariot, he saluted and said, "Li Ying, the former captain of Haining County and now a resident of Wangjiazhuang, will meet the Taishi in person."
Jia Lian waved his hand to stop Zhao Tiandong and said, "I was also an official that day, why didn't I do it?"
Li Yingdao: "Because the old mother in the family wants to be supported, I had to resign and come back, so I kept the family business and saved up to live."
Jia Lian bowed slightly.
Li Ying looked at Zhao Tianliang again and said, "Don't hide it from this adult, the villain can be regarded as a good family, for the sake of the local people, begging for the Taishi to come, begging for a flourishing."
Zhao Tiandong nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "I heard this talk."
After that, Zhao Tiandong came up with an idea next to Jia Lian and said, "The post place has indeed wronged the second master, why don't you go there and have a look?"
At this time, another forward rider inquired about the news and came back.
There is a Wangjiazhuang nearby, and the owner of the village named Li Ying is a large household in the county.
Jia Lian originally intended to appease the place, and when he heard this, he nodded in agreement after thinking for a while.
At that moment, the team turned and came in the direction of Wangjiazhuang.
Li Ying led the way, and Du Xing found Zhao Tiandong and said with a smile: "The people of the lowly land are not old-fashioned, and they can't even pack up many empty houses for a while, so why don't you ask the soldiers and honor guards to rest at the post house for a night?" We'll have a table ready there."
Zhao Tiandong looked in the direction of the post station, and sure enough, he saw that the lights were bright, and the tables and stools were placed outside the house.
"I see you're prepared
Properly, just do the work, I will tell you."
Zhao Tiandong waved his hand and waved back Du Xing.
The garrisons brought out from Hangzhou were separated, and went to rest at the post house, each of them had a tael of silver and two hanging money, and they were happy to use it when they saw this.
Jia Lian drove less than 100 people, and the honor guard was still the leader of the road, and the relatives wearing bullfighting uniforms came on horseback.
After walking less than half a mile, I came down to the official road, and it was another three miles away, and finally stopped in front of a grain field.
At this time, the place has been cleaned, and more than a dozen village women and farmers are setting up their seats.
Jia Lian drove down from the chariot and saw that the lights were shining brightly at night, reflecting the ground as if it were day.
"Sure enough, Jiangnan is rich, and the countryside is also so willing to spend."
Jia Lian put his hands behind his back, looked around, nodded from time to time, and walked along the paved road into the wall courtyard.
And the guards of honor made feasts outside.
Then the remaining cadres followed Jia Lian into the courtyard and repaired in the compound.
Li Ying welcomed Jia Lian into the hall and respectfully invited him to take a seat.
Jia Lian did not back down, entered the main position, and said with a smile: "The luxury is too much, if I stay here for a few days, will your family still have surplus food?"
Li Yingdao: "This is a big thing to ask for, since the Taishi has been in power, he has subdued the four yi, cut off the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, made the government and the opposition clear, and the country and the people are safe.
Jia Lian asked again, "Why don't you come to see you in the hall?"
Li Yingyin sighed: "Last year's big cold, the old lady couldn't stand it, and finally passed away."
Jia Lian gave up and asked his wife and children at home.
Li Yingdao: "I married Changfang in my early years, but I went with him when I gave birth to a child, and now I am obsessed with martial arts and have no intention of continuing the string."
These words seem bleak.
Jia Lian shook his head.
After a few other gossips, someone came from the side and invited everyone to the feast.
Jia Lian then got up and said again, "Your family is nothing about this, because you are in the prime of life, and you still have a lot to do. When I return to Hangzhou Mansion and find out the details, this master will not summon you to come over and listen to it."
Li Ying was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.
Everyone turned to the hall, and Xing'er Zhao'er, who visited first, was already waiting with Du Xingyi, and invited Jia Lian to sit at the table.
The local township chief and others gathered, knocked and greeted An, and each presented his salute.
Jia Lian saw that the gift was not luxurious, so he asked Xing'er to accept it as ordered, and let all the squires also come to the table to speak.
At the time of the second watch, the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have five flavors.
Jia Lian was eating and drinking, slapped the table and laughed with everyone and said, "... Now that the firearms are getting sharper and sharper, isn't it a joke that the guy in the hands of the southern Haikou is actually better than the imperial court sailor? Thanks to the help of the Sprinkle family's urgent dispatch of the Shenji Battalion, and the car was dismantled to the deck to make a women's wall, it was only then that it could be regarded as withstanding the battle."
The water war in the south has been fought for half a year, and the local squires, whether they have heard the news or not, are constantly flattering and boasting.
After drinking it for a while, it was already the third watch.
Zhao Tiandong came over from the side of the table and asked, "Grandpa Guo, I have to hurry tomorrow, and there are official documents from the north and south to be delivered, I'm afraid it's time to rest?"
Jia Lian originally saw that Li Ying, the head of the village, was pleasing to the eyes, and the wine was fragrant, so he ate a few more, but when he heard the sound of the three more drums, he had to regret giving up.
Zhuang Nei had already arranged a place to live, Xing'er and Du Xing led the way, and Jia Lian got up and went over.
Zhao'er was behind, and he did not mention the return gift with the squires.
Jia Lian ate too much wine and was too lazy to take a bath, so he just wiped his face and washed up, and slept in the backyard room.
There was no word in the middle of the night, and it was silent and slightly cool.
To the five drums in the new morning, the night is tired, the dawn has not been, the sky will be bright, and its darkness is especially fierce.
Because Jia Lian went south without a female dependent, he resigned from the maid last night, and no one slept peacefully in the position of the night companion room outside.
When everything was quiet, some rustling and squirming sounded from Jia Lian's room, like a mouse eating a mat, and then turned up and died.
The next breath.
A black group
Coming out from under the bed outside, revealing his body and revealing his figure.
I saw that this man was holding a short knife, his figure was thin, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his eyes were shining in the night.
"Master Bird is so drunk that he eats like mud, if he asks me to take my life with a knife, wouldn't it surprise the world?"
After a few words in his heart, Shi Qian finally forced his mind to make up his mind, pinned the short knife behind his waist, glanced at the bed that he had drilled out of the back, and then exchanged it for a hemp rope wrapped in his hand, and tiptoed forward.
When he arrived at the bed where Jia Lian was sleeping, Shi Qian held his breath and was about to come to restrain his hands and feet.
In an instant, Jia Lian's eyes widened!
Because he was thinking about complicated official business, he ate less than a jar of wine, where could he get drunk!
In the night, I saw a figure in front of the bed at this time!
"Straight thief!"
Jia Lian suddenly reached out, grabbed the front of the leader, suddenly pulled, turned over, pressed it under him, and hit it with a fist!
This punch was even the root of the ear and the neck, and Shi Qian was not strong, so he hurriedly shouted, "Save people!"
When Jia Lian heard this, he hurriedly dragged the person to the ground, and when he didn't see anyone in the house, he spilled his fists like raindrops, and his fists and toes greeted him together.
Shi Qian saw that he was half dazed, and he only muttered straight in his mouth: "Brother Yan Shun, Brother Deng Fei-"
It was indeed someone who answered, but the two of them were a little broader, and they finally got out of the bed outside.
At this time, Jia Lian heard the movement, and his attack became more and more fierce!
After three more punches in front of the head, Shi Qian's face under him changed color, and his legs were kicked, and there was no sound in his mouth and nose.
"Brother Shimi!"
Yan Shun and Deng Fei shouted in unison, their eyes were split, and without saying a word, they each raised a short knife and pounced!
Jia Lian also felt a bright white blade in his hand under him, where was he willing to avoid it, and crashed into the arms of a person.
Yan Shun saw that for a moment, Jia Lian and Deng Fei flew out upside down, busy picking up the knife to find it and about to cut it, but halfway through, they didn't know who they were kicked, and then they rolled off to the side, and they couldn't afford to climb in pain for a while.
In the hall of the house, the tea bottles of the spring stool fell to the ground, and even the horizontal curtain was also split.
Jia Lian fought with the thief to the death, where could he keep his hand at this time, and after seven or eight rounds of death fighting, he finally gained the upper hand, and pressed Deng Fei down with all his strength, grabbed the hair of the square scarf with one hand, and made his head rise, and cut it with a knife in the other hand, breaking the throat.
In the night, the warm spray splashed on Jia Lian's face.
Jia Lian got up again, didn't have the slightest slackness, and pounced on the other person with a hideous face.
Although he didn't look at it at night, Yan Shun also knew that Deng Fei must be more than lucky.
Broke two brothers in a few breaths, who could know that this imperial master had this force?
Yan Shun was overwhelmed with grief and indignation, and rushed forward, and the rules in his hands were messy.
Jia Lian got up angrily, where was he willing to tolerate them, parried a few times, and then looked at the position, and pierced Yan Shun's heart through the nest!
Yan Shun was still about to fight to the death, but suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and all his strength seemed to be taken out of that place, his teeth were clenched, and he fell on his back.
The house was settled down for a while.
Jia Lian gasped for breath a little, the glimmer came late, and the sky broke and shone into the room.
