After a seven-day sea voyage, Jia Lian arrived at the Songjiang Fu Pier. Then the escort warships of the East China Sea Fleet returned to their respective bases after completing their escort missions.

Jia Lian's ship went straight to Jinling from the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is the capital of Dazheng, the center of the south of the Yangtze River, and one of the most prosperous cities.

The layout of Jinling is similar to that of Shenjing, and the nobles and high-ranking officials also live in the west of the imperial city. However, now the residences of these princes and high-ranking officials are generally vacant.

After all, most of these people followed the Holy Ancestor Emperor to move the capital to Shenjing. It's like Rongning Erfu.

Jinling West City Opening and Closing Square, Rongning Street, Rongning Two Great Mansions stand here. In terms of scale, the Guogong Mansion in Jinling is even larger than Shenjing.

After all, this world has not passed through Jin, and the two ethnic minorities of Yuan must be Shenjing. Before the Honjo dynasty, Shenkyo was nothing more than an ordinary northern metropolis.

As the capital, everything had to be rebuilt, so although it has been expanded for decades, the city is still inferior to Jinling.

What's more, since the middle of the Zhou Dynasty, with the boom of maritime trade, the economic level of the south has increasingly surpassed that of the north. In addition, the south is mild and humid, and the dry and cold climate is more livable than the north.

At this time, in the back street of Rongning Street, a three-entry house is inside. Jia Daixiu, the ancestor of the Jia family in Jinling, leaned on the couch and listened to the music.

When Emperor Shengzu moved the capital to Shenjing, the descendants of the founding and Jingning Xungui provinces naturally moved to Shenjing. However, each family still has a lot of industries in Jinling, and they cannot be left unattended. So they all left a few houses in Jinling.

After moving the capital for decades, the two tribes developed and multiplied separately, and slowly almost became two families.

For example, the Jia family, when the old Rongguo Jia Yan left four sons, Jia Daishan, Jia Dairu and Jia Daixin and Jia Daixiu. The Holy Ancestor moved the capital, and Jia Daishan, as the inheritor of the title of Rongguo, naturally wanted to go to Shenjing to open up a new Guogong Mansion, and Jia Dairu also moved to Shenjing with Jia Daishan. These two branches, together with the Ningguo Mansion, formed the current Shenjing Jia family, which developed to eight rooms.

Jia Yan's third son Jia Daixin and fourth son Jia Daixiu stayed in Jinling to guard the ancestral property. Later, Jia Daixin died early, and only one son was also frail and sick.

And Jia Daixiu guarded the ancestral property of Jinling, multiplied with the name of Rong Guogong, and together with the clansmen who stayed in Jinling in Ningguofu, there were now five rooms of the Jia family in Jinling.

Usually, the Jinling Jia family prepares a generous gift to send to Beijing during the New Year's Festival, which is regarded as the interest of Jinling's fiefdom. The rest is in their own pockets.

In today's Longzheng period, except for the two national mansions in Rongning, the rest of Jinling has nothing to do with Shenjing.

There was nothing in the past, after all, since Jia Daishan died in battle, the Jia family was closed, and the descendants of Jia Yu, Jia Zheng and Jia Jing have not been out of Shenjing for more than 20 years.

Even if some clansmen occasionally came to Jinling to do business, they never came to interfere in the affairs of the Jia family in Jinling. Therefore, the elderly Jia Daixiu can always enjoy his old age.

Now, however, it seems that everything is about to change.

Jia Daixiu has a habit of taking an hour's nap every day at noon. Children and grandchildren dare not disturb when they are idle.

But today, he hadn't slept for a long time when he was woken up by his eldest son, Jia You.

"Bastard, what's going on. You actually dared to disturb the old man's lunch break. ”

"Ancestor, something happened. Shenjing is here. ”

Jia Daixiu was stunned for a moment, and then became even more angry: "Come here, it's not like you haven't come." It's just good food and drink, what are you panicking about? ”

Jia You said helplessly: "If it is an ordinary person, it is naturally like this. But this time it was Jia Lian, the inheritor of Rongguo Mansion. ”

Jia Lian, I remember that he should be the grandson of the boss. Isn't that waste Jia pardon Lord now? When did Jia Lian become the heir.

A group of children and grandchildren who came with Jia You twitched the corners of their mouths in unison. Although it is said that the Shenjing Jia family has been separated, it is actually two families. But there is only one title of the Jia family, only if the Jia family in Shenjing does not fall, and the title of Rongguo is still there, can the Jia family in Jinling pull up the tiger skin to make a big banner.

Therefore, Jinling has always been very concerned about the situation in Shenjing. Jia Yu's accident and Jia Lian's inheritance, now Jinling is estimated that only this old ancestor does not know.

Jia You glanced at the young man behind him, and he replied knowingly: "Ancestor, about a month ago, news came from Shenjing that Uncle Yu had an accident and went. The second brother Lian inherited the title of Rongguo, the son of heaven Longen, and still promised to attack the first-class general.

Now, the second brother Lian has received an errand from the Nanzhen Mansion of Jinyi Mansion and has become a messenger. Came to Jinling. ”

Jia Daixiu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such a big incident to happen in the Shenjing clan. Jia Daixiu has always felt that although the eldest brother is talented, he is not good at teaching his children and grandchildren. Since the death of the eldest brother in the Shenjing clan, day by day has not been as good as day by day.

On the Jinling side, not only did the business do well, but there was also a jinshi and two military attachés in the clan. But among the Shenjing clan, they all relied on the income of the two mansions to live, and there was no income.

"I didn't expect that there is also a powerful figure among the children and grandchildren of the eldest brother. Yes, I'm very happy. ”

However, Jia Daixiu looked at the children and grandchildren below, and felt a little curious.

"Since it is Shenjing, I Rongguo Chengjue is here in person, and I will entertain you well, what is the matter with you looking like a dead father, Lao Tzu is still alive."

Jia You smiled bitterly and decided to give the old man a thorough explanation, after all, he still had to count on the old man to come forward to intercede.

Now the only one who can talk to Duzhong is this old ancestor. After all, the old lady in the Shenjing Mansion is the serious sister-in-law of the old ancestor, and every year on the New Year's Day, a special New Year's gift will be sent to the fourth old lady, indicating that the old lady gave it to the fourth old lady.

"This time, the lord came in person, nominally on the order of the emperor to investigate the case of selling weapons in Yangzhou Bingbei Road. In fact, the purpose is the yamen of Yangzhou Salt Academy.

And in these two cases, our Jia family is implicated. ”

"What?"

At the same time, Jia Lian's ship had arrived in Jinling. Shen Yi, a thousand households in Jinling, rushed to the dock to greet him.

Although Jia Lian and Shen Yi are both thousands of households in Nanzhen Prefecture, not to mention that Jia Lian, a central official, is already one level higher than his local counterpart.

Jia Lian, a thousand households, is a veritable big man in the Nanzhen Mansion Division, overseeing the investigation and handling of major cases in the entire Nanzhen Prefecture Division, and his power is monstrous.

The two are like one is the director of the Jinling City Public Security Bureau, and the other is the director of the Criminal Investigation Administration of the Ministry of Public Security. The two are not the same.

Therefore, Jia Lian came to Jinling in person, and Shen Yi rushed to the dock as expected. It's unreasonable not to come.
