Chapter Seven Hundred and Six: Feed the Tiger
Anyone who has taken care of a child should know when the child is the most well-behaved? Of course, the child who has just been beaten is the most well-behaved! At this time, he won't dare to tell him to do bad things!
Emperor Yongxi should be doing this now, sending the new governor of Liangjiang, Tao Peng, to deal with the salt merchants in Yangzhou, and secondly, to protect Lin Ruhai.
But Tao Peng is alone, and when he doesn't know anything about Jiangnan, he still has to take care of Jiangnan's affairs, where does he have the spare time to deal with Yangzhou's salt administration?
So it's very simple, Tao Peng is a person who comes to collect money, he just raises money for the imperial court! As long as he can raise a number in Yangzhou that satisfies the imperial court, he will be very relaxed about Yangzhou's salt administration in the future!
It's just that Emperor Yongxi doesn't know that Lin Ruhai is actually a figure who has walked through the Hades Palace! And Zhou Huan and Lin Ruhai also want to take advantage of this opportunity!
The salt merchants in Yangzhou all knew that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, and the new governor of Liangjiang was about to take office, and the salt merchants also saw clearly what Tao Peng, the governor of Liangjiang, was here for!
At this time, the salt merchants in Yangzhou were busy with infighting, and the result of the infighting was precisely for this fundraising! Those who fail can only accept the fate of being raided by the court or even killed by the family!
Yangzhou salt merchants have also formed their own rules over the years, and the imperial court is more like a Menghu in captivity by them, whoever is killed by several other people among them will be thrown down to feed the tiger!
And what Lin Ruhai has done for so many years is to let these people who obviously don't have to go down to feed the tiger cut off their own flesh to feed the tiger!
What the Huang family has done is to maintain this rule, of course, if you can pull out one or two fingers to satisfy the tiger, you can also satisfy the tiger, because maintaining this rule is equivalent to maintaining your transcendent status!
And what the Bai family hopes is to break this rule! After throwing the Huang family and the other four families down to feed the tiger, put a collar on the tiger! From now on, you have to wag your tail and beg for mercy from me to get a bite of meat from me!
So they don't have a sense of crisis at all about Tao Peng's imminent arrival, in their opinion, the imperial court is here to ask for money this time, and there is a lot to ask for!
So this time the infighting will be fought even harder! At least throw down four families to satisfy the appetite of the imperial court! This can be said to be the intention of the Bai family! So these eight can be said to have been torn very badly these days!
They thought that Lin Ruhai could no longer reconcile with it, and Lin Ruhai and Zhou Huan seized this point to confuse the eight salt merchants and make them think that Lin Ruhai was dead, but in fact, it was to intensify the fight between the salt merchants!
After thinking about this, Jia Jing also knew where his duty was, that is, to let the eight major salt merchants know that he was extremely angry now!
It's not too much for a person to do anything when he's so angry that he loses his mind! Boiled frogs in warm water, Jia Jing is the existence that really kills frogs in warm water!
After Jia Jing figured it out, he couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly and said, "I'm good at this kind of thing!" Sir, just look at it! β
Zhou Huan couldn't help but nod with amusement when he heard this: "You are used to singing big dramas, this play, your uncle and I have been working hard until now, and now it's your turn to play, don't play it for us!" β
Jia Jing smiled and got up and patted his sleeves left and right, made a gesture in the play, and smiled at Zhou Huan: "Gotcha! It's up to me to sing your play! β
When Zhou Huan heard this, he just smiled at Jia Jing: "Don't worry, your flower face has just come to the stage, and there is a flower girl waiting for you." β
Jia Jing was stunned when he heard this: "Who." Zhou Huan smiled and said nothing, and Jia Jing's eyes suddenly widened: "No, won't it?" β
γ
Zhou Huan smiled mysteriously, and Jia Jing suddenly stood up in a hurry and said to Zhou Huan: "No! I absolutely disagree! β
Zhou Huan raised his head in some surprise and glanced at Jia Jing and said, "What? Jia Jing stepped forward impatiently and said, "Sir, how can you and your uncle pull her in?" β
Jia Jing was so anxious that she only slapped the table: "She's just a little girl!" She doesn't understand anything! The situation in Yangzhou, even the uncle himself is difficult to protect! Why even pull her in! β
Jia Jing hurriedly ran inside: "I'll go to my uncle now to ask for clarification!" Zhou Huan said with a calm face: "Okay! You give me back! β
Jia Jing saw that Zhou Huan was serious, so he stood still, but he was still very dissatisfied, and Zhou Huan said in a deep voice: "Why is your temperament getting more and more impatient now?" Am I done? The bigger it is, the less it looks! Or just talk about that girl, you are this virtue! β
Jia Jing opened his mouth, but in the end he could only be speechless, Zhou Huan snorted coldly, and then said to Jia Jing in a deep voice: "What kind of person do you think of as a teacher?" Will being a teacher hurt a little girl? Will your uncle kill his own daughter? β
Zhou Huan slapped the table and said, "Your personality is getting more and more impatient!" It's hard to be a big job! If you don't want to cause trouble, go back as soon as possible and cultivate your Tao honestly! You won't need anything here! β
When Jia Jing heard this, he hurriedly apologized: "Sir! The student was also a little difficult for himself for a while, and also, you didn't explain it........."
Zhou Huan almost laughed angrily: "Oh, that's to blame me?" Jia Jing laughed twice, and then said to Zhou Huan: "You said it yourself, at this time, you called her back, I don't know what use it is except to be bait........."
Zhou Huan sighed helplessly and said helplessly to Jia Jing: "It was your uncle who called him back, at that time he really thought that he was dying, who didn't miss his children at this time?" β
Jia Jing suddenly realized this, and Zhou Huan then said: "But your uncle didn't ask her to go back after she got better, and now the salt merchants are waiting for the news of the salt government yamen, if there is action at this time, everyone can notice, then how can this plan be implemented?" β
Jia Jing fell silent, and Zhou Huan looked at Jia Jing and said, "When that girl comes, she will hide in the Yanzheng Yamen, and take care of the teacher and your uncle personally, can there be any mistakes?" β
Jia Jing sighed helplessly, bowed down and said, "Sir, forgive me, the disciple didn't notice for a while, and he collided with Mr., I hope Mr. won't blame me!" It's just that......... Lin Yatou's body is weak, I am afraid that she is impatient with this, but now the situation in Yangzhou City is changing, and there is really something to change........."
Zhou Huan sighed helplessly and said: "You have always been a heroic and decisive person, although I don't say it, I have always been proud of you, you have a heroic posture, a hero in the world, why are you so mediocre and troublesome in the affairs of your children?" β
Jia Jing pursed his lips and didn't know what to say, the rotten peach blossoms in his life were indeed ordinary......... And his own way of dealing with it can also be said to be extremely rotten!
Zhou Huan shook his head and said: "Sure enough, if you have any thoughts about the girl, then she will have even less experience, if she can't even see such a scene, how can she be your Ningguo lady in the future?" You are also a child of a family, you should know what those ladies in Shenjing City are like! Do you think that Lin Yatou can compare to those people now? β
Jia Jing smiled bitterly and was about to speak, but Zhou Huan interrupted: "I'm not joking with you, this matter is very important, you should think about it!" Think with your heart! β
Jia Jing was stunned for a moment, and then fell into silence, he knew in his heart that Daiyu ......... In fact, it is not suitable for a wife, whether it is a sensitive and fragile personality, or experience, Daiyu is actually not the opponent of those beautiful girls!
She has no one to teach, although she is talented and can figure out some things, but in the end there is no one to teach, besides......... Daiyu has a soft temperament, and her ears are also soft, and all kinds of personalities determine that Daiyu herself is not suitable for housekeepers!
Zhou Huan sighed: "You have said it yourself since you were a child, you Jia Jing did not live for yourself, and there are countless people watching you behind you!" Do you think your wife can afford Ning Guofu? Can you fight those shrewd and vicious women? You are dignified and peaceful, can you still meddle in the affairs of the ladies? β
Jia Jing is silent, men have men's arenas, and women have women's arenas, it is true that because of Jia Jing's identity, those people definitely dare not offend Daiyu, but it doesn't prevent them from stumbling behind their backs at all!
Zhou Huan got up and patted Jia Jing on the shoulder: "You are not young, don't be naΓ―ve anymore!" If you have a heart, treat others well, if you don't have the intention, stay away from other good girls! β
As he spoke, he dropped a sentence and turned to leave, leaving Jia Jing frowning tightly and thinking in place.........
Jia Jing surrounded Yanzheng Yamen with 3,000 cavalry, which can be said to have caused an uproar in Yangzhou City! It can be said that it is a shocking wave!
The people of Yangzhou City have a characteristic, that is, comfortable, Yangzhou people are more comfortable, pay more attention to the quality of life, pay attention to enjoy life, small wealth is peace, do not want more and hate busier days.
Therefore, how many capable people in ancient and modern times, after being rich and powerful, the first thing they thought of was "wrapping 100,000 yuan around their waists and riding a crane to Yangzhou"! That's why people in Yangzhou will come up with things that sound very cool at night!
After all, a life that is too comfortable lacks a lot of excitement and hard work, so Jia Jing, a northerner, brought an unprecedented atmosphere of slaughter, and suddenly the people in Yangzhou City were very excited!
The streets and alleys are talking about Jia Jing's little thing, and they all say that Jia Jing is going to Jinling to ask for a miracle doctor, and before leaving, he also said cruel words, if even the magic doctor he invited can't save Lin Ruhai, he won't investigate anything, he will blame everyone in Yangzhou City who has the ability and ability to hurt Lin Ruhai!
As soon as this sentence was spoken, the people who ate melons were even more excited, and Xiao Mazha was ready, waiting for Jia Jing to perform a play "The Orphan of the Zhao Family"!
But as soon as Jia Jing's words came out, the salt merchants in Yangzhou City were suddenly sad! I was thinking about how to spread Jia Jing's fire on the other side!
In such an atmosphere, the children of the salt merchants have been looking down on each other very unpleasantly recently, and Huang Shuang's younger brothers have been fighting with several children of the Bai family recently.
Today, after Huang Shuang fished out his two younger brothers from Yangzhou Mansion again, he reluctantly reprimanded the two of them, telling them to be honest during this time, and then hurriedly walked to the back.
Compared with the recent frequent actions of several other families, the Huang family has rarely quieted down these days, firstly, they really don't want to participate in such a cruel battle, and secondly, they ......... The old man of the Huang family is sick, very sick.........
There was some light rain in Yangzhou just a few days after spring, because it was a light rain, Huang Yingyun didn't care much, or went out to fish as usual or something, but when he walked to a bluestone slab, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground!
If it is a young and strong man, maybe he will see if there is any break, and he will be pulled down after standing up and walking two steps, Huang Yingyun is almost eighty years old.........
An old man in his eighties slapped on the ground, Huang Yingyun fell unconscious that day, and all kinds of famous doctors went in and out of the Huang Mansion, wasting a lot of effort, and finally saved Huang Yingyun's life!
But Huang Yingjun was also paralyzed in bed because of this, it is said that he broke his pelvis, and now he is not only paralyzed in bed, he is enduring severe pain every day, and he has almost no time to be awake for a few days a day!
A generation of reckless heroes ended up like this! It's really embarrassing!
Falling is almost fatal to the old man, and the Huang family is just relying on the ability to give Huang Yingyun a false name, but everyone knows that Huang Yingyun has not been around for two days!
Those who have taken care of the paralyzed elderly know that not to mention the bedsores that are easy to breed, are almost fatal infection wounds for the elderly's body, even if they lie in bed every day and do nothing, most of the elderly will die of depression!
Not to mention the humiliation of having to suffer from the humiliation of being unable to help yourself with feces and urine! Basically, when an old man is paralyzed in bed, he will slowly eat less and less, and he will become thinner and thinner, and most of them will not live for a year or two before they die suddenly.........
Huang Yingyun's mentality is not bad, but his body really can't hold it, since he fell, due to the unbearable severe pain in his body, Huang Yingyun couldn't sleep day and night, and his body was visibly thin!
Huang Shuang walked in, and saw that his father was supporting Huang Yingyun to turn over, and when he heard the movement and looked back, Huang Shuang hurriedly whispered: "Quickly take that black incense." β
Huang Shuang hurriedly nodded yes, and sure enough, he saw Huang Yingyun moaning softly with pain on his face, Huang Shuang didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly walked inside, opened a small box, and took out a thick and long smoking gun and a small leather bag from it.
Huang Shuang hurriedly walked to Huang Yingyun's bed, and then handed the cigarette gun in his hand to Huang Zhiqi, after Huang Zhiqi took it, Huang Shuang squatted on the ground, took out a small glass lamp from the small leather bag, took out the fire fold and lit it, and took out a small wooden box from the leather bag, opened it, and there was a large black thing inside, and a foul smell also rushed to the nose with the opening of the lid!
Huang Shuang held his breath, pulled out a small piece, and then stuffed it into the smoking gun, Huang Zhiqi held the big smoking gun and said softly: "Dad, you can take some more black incense." β
Huang Yingyun was lying on his side, reluctantly opened a slit when he heard the words, and then nodded hurriedly: "Hurry, hurry up........."
Huang Zhiqi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent the big smoking gun to Huang Yingyun's mouth, Huang Yingyun endured the severe pain on his body and took a deep breath, the whole person was suddenly relieved, and his face also showed a fluttering look.........
Huang Shuang looked at his grandfather's appearance and was full of curiosity, but at the same time he was faintly afraid, his grandfather had only been smoking black incense for half a month, and now he had reached the point where he couldn't sleep in pain if he didn't smoke black incense every day!
This thing is the top medicinal material of Siam Java and Mangara, and at this time, it is basically out of the Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou and the land of Sichuan and Shu, and only the royal family can enjoy it.
The royal family named it Wuxiang, which is said to be one of the main medicinal materials for refining the elixir, and it is said that lighting this and placing it in the house will make people feel good and soothe their whole body.........
All in all, it's mysterious! For this reason, this thing is very popular in the thirteen lines of Guangzhou! It is said that the same black incense is equal to the same gold!
However, the Huang family definitely doesn't care about money, this is a few days ago, the old man Huang really couldn't bear the pain, one of the doctors brought it up, saying that he had seen it in a medical book, saying that Wuxiang could greatly relieve the pain, so the Huang family took great pains to get some of this from Guangzhou.
Oh, over there in Guangzhou, it seems more customary to call it......... Fushou ointment!
Looking at the fluttering look on his grandfather's face after taking a puff of black incense, Huang Shuang couldn't help but be full of curiosity, until Huang Zhiqi taught him twice next to him, and Huang Shuang came back to his senses.
Huang Zhiqi said softly to Huang Shuang: "Your brother's matter, have you dealt with it?" Huang Shuang nodded yes, and then hesitated for a moment and said: "Ninghou's matter is in a lot of trouble in the city, Jinling is not far from Yangzhou, I'm afraid it .........."
Huang Yingyun closed his eyes, smacked his lips and said softly: "Don't be afraid of him, this kid is playing bluffing, he doesn't dare to really do anything, what are you panicking about?" β
When Huang Shuang heard this, he looked at Huang Yingyun and said, "Grandfather thinks that Ning Hou is not preparing to kill in Yangzhou City?" β
Huang Zhiqi still closed his eyes, as if he was buffering Huang Shuang's words, his mouth was wide open, and a fluttering smile appeared on his face.........
Then it took a while before he seemed to react, and said softly to Huang Shuang: "You forgot everything I told you before?" Jia Jing's personality is not such an impulsive and irritable person......... He wouldn't do such a thing. β
Huang Shuang smiled bitterly, everyone has released this cruel word, but you have to believe your theory of using soldiers to see people!
Huang Yingyun said softly: "If he really wants to kill people, he will definitely not say such cruel words and kill the whole of Yangzhou?" Hehe........."
Huang Shuang and Huang Zhiqi glanced at each other when they heard this, and Huang Zhiqi stepped forward and said softly: "What does my father mean, if Jia Jing really wants to kill people and blame our salt merchants for Lord Lin's affairs, he will name them, instead of saying that Yangzhou is so general?" β
