Chapter 420: The Inhuman Lord of the Entrenchment
The third master's good head is only worth 200,000 taels, which is not as expensive as the second master's brain, can this be endured?
The angry Jia Cong even repeatedly told his second brother Jia Lian to go to the major gangs in the capital for him.
He Jia Cong personally issued a bounty to cut off the brains of the third master of Rongguo Mansion, and Yongfeng Bofu rewarded one million taels of silver!
When Jia Cong gritted his teeth and replied, the turmoil in the capital was not much smaller than that in Jiangnan.
It was the first time that Second Master Lian knew that his family's heads were so valuable, but it was a pity that none of them were really fools in the capital.
Silver is a good thing, but it also has to be spent on life, right?
Although Liu Xianglian, the "cold-faced Langjun", has an official status, he has a bold personality, and he never looks at his family when making friends, and the friends he made earlier are still his guests.
The mysterious man's high-priced reward for Ning Rongjia's family was soon sent to Liu Xianglian's hands.
Don't look at the word "Jianghu" in the book, but in fact, when the gangs in the capital received the reward order for the first time, it was not how to make this silver at all, but how to throw out this hot potato.
As the saying goes, destroy the prefect of the door and break the county order, not to mention the top martial arts of Daxia such as Ning Rongjia's family.
Counting Jia Cong, the Yongfeng Bo, the entire Ning Rong Jia family has more than 1,500 people just because of the pro-guards who can come and go at will in and out of the capital.
Fifteen hundred elites in armor are enough to pull all the gangs in the capital together and slaughter them all.
If you have a hole in your brain, you will think about earning this lifeless silver......
Liu Xianglian told her brother-in-law Jia Lian the news, and then the second master Lian "feasted" most of the leaders of the gangs and darts in the capital in the largest restaurant in the capital.
Of course, these people who can receive invitations are all people who can be handed over with Liu Xianglian's help.
Appearing in the restaurant with Jia Lian was Cao Jiugong, the governor of the Left Army and the commander of the Dragon Guard.
Cao Dudu, as the spy leader of Great Xia, would not let go of the opportunity to integrate the underground forces in the capital.
hit it off with Jia Lian, and formulated a detailed recruitment plan on the same day, taking this group of huge forces that are free from black and white into their pockets.
As for those who were not invited, they were all sentenced to death, but they died early and late.
……
After the new year, the situation in Jiangnan has stabilized on the surface.
With the arrival of the chief and deputy officials of all parties selected by the ministry, the executive power of the center once again showed its great power.
Not to mention changing the magistrates, it is to empty most of the imperial court, as long as the six central departments do not fall, there is no shortage of people who want to be officials in Daxia today.
Jia Cong buried himself in the case every day, carefully investigating all the news about the palace of Beijing County and southern Xinjiang from the seventh year of Yuan You to the present.
Soon, he found clues in some very inconspicuous official documents.
Quanzhou and Ningbo, the two major cities, have several records of goods going to sea.
In particular, there are several shipment records that are very interesting, and there are people in southern Xinjiang who buy rice from Jiangnan......
Southern Xinjiang crops three times a year, and a handful of seeds can grow enough to feed a large family, so they will buy rice from Jiangnan?
"The Cochin Political Envoy is never short of food, so where did these fleets send food?"
Jia Cong drew two circles along the map......
"Using this method to save food for the winter, water-soluble, water-soluble, are you really stupid or fake smart?"
……
Whoosh~Bang!
Chinese New Year's Eve soon arrived, and Old Thirteen went to the Nanzhi Libu Political Envoy Department tonight to celebrate the New Year with Lord Cifu, Wen Kuijun Xu Jin, and officials from all parties who had just arrived in Jinling to take up their posts.
The departure of several bigwigs did not reduce the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival in the courtyard of King Wu's Mansion by half a point, because the old man finally returned to the Central Plains from southern Xinjiang.
The sun in southern Xinjiang is really terrifying, and the black chirped pardon lord almost made Jia Cong not recognize it.
If it weren't for that mouthful of white teeth, under the cover of night, Master Pardon would have been able to disguise himself very well even if he didn't wear night clothes.
"Come, Lin girl, three girls, this is your New Year's money."
The old man who grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth, gave Daiyu and Tanchun a big red envelope without humanity.
Jia Cong's eyes widened, this is really a red envelope, a big red burden~
Daiyu and Tanchun were stunned for a long time before they connected the big red burden with the New Year's money.
The two finally came back to their senses and took it under the repeated urging of the old man......
"Oops, it's so heavy!"
Daiyu only felt a sinking in her hand, and she stumbled and was almost dragged down by the burden.
With a bang, the burden of getting rid of his hands spread out, and all kinds of pearls, jade, gems, gold and silver ingots rolled to the ground. The most special thing is a few small gold Maitreya Buddhas, which whirl and spin after falling to the ground.
"Oh~"
The house was already brightly lit, but now it was flashed by the golden light, and everyone, including a few maids, became a big rooster that crowed.
What a big red envelope~
The inhuman pardon of the trench~
"Dad, you robbed the Crystal Palace of the Dragon King of the South China Sea?"
"Uncle, it's too valuable, I can't ask for it!"
"Uncle, this ...... I can't ask for it! ”
Jia Cong, Daiyu and Tanchun spoke almost at the same time, but they waved their hands indifferently when they saw the old man: "What's the fuss, just this little thing is less than one percent of what I brought back from southern Xinjiang." Obediently put it away, and use it as pocket money on weekdays. When you girls are about to get married, I will give you one car as a dowry! ”
Ha?
Is this still the pardon lord who picks and searches for silver coins comparable to His Majesty the Emperor?
Jia Cong grabbed his father's sleeve and pretended to be well-behaved.
"Daddy, what about mine?"
Syllable!
The old man slapped his son's hand away, took out a small red envelope, and stuffed it to Jia Cong.
"Now, it's yours."
Jia Cong had a bad premonition in his heart, and when he opened it, he saw that it contained a penny.
True Yiwen Yuan Yu Tongbao
"Daddy, am I still your baby?"
Brother Cong, who felt "out of favor", lay down directly on the ground, and was about to start splashing and rolling.
But seeing that the old man happily took a sip of the wine that Daiyu had toasted, and said slowly: "Good son, how can a father not spoil you?" Rest assured, your share is the biggest ......"
When Jia Cong heard this, he immediately got up from the ground, and his hippie smile was about to come forward.
Then I heard the old man grinning at Daiyu: "Niece, my uncle taught you a truth today, this man, if you have money, you will become bad." Brother Cong'er's share, Uncle Cong will let someone send it to you later, and you will keep it for him~"
……
The resignation of the old man from southern Xinjiang is not empty-handed.
There were several large ships, loaded with gold, silver and jewels "picked up" from southern Xinjiang.
The conquest of the army, stirring up has always been a four-three-point profit.
Forty percent was handed over to the imperial court, three were given to the soldiers, and the remaining thirty percent belonged to the generals who led the troops.
As the guard of southern Xinjiang, the pardon lord naturally has the most points. In addition, he found a lot of barbarian relics in southern Xinjiang, and under the pretext of suppressing bandits, he plundered the ruins of temples in the dense forests of southern Xinjiang, and even the jewels inlaid on the walls and the gold plated on the Buddha statues were scraped clean.
Not to mention, the poor people of southern Xinjiang can't afford to wear pants, but all religions are first-class rich.
The richest temple of the dynasty is not as good as a random temple.
Have you ever seen a statue of Shakyamuni and other gods in pure gold?
The gold bricks alone almost crushed three carriages for transport.
Originally, these had already made the old man smile with his eyebrows, and he didn't want to leave his post on the way back to Beijing, but he actually encountered three merchant ships of Western Huangmaoyi......
Don't expect Lord Pardon to abide by the treaty of friendship and commerce between the two countries, as long as the news can't get out, who knows about the Xia people not abiding by the signed treaty?
After a friendly exchange of artillery, Lord Amnesty captured the three merchant ships almost without casualties.
It wasn't until the soldiers boarded the merchant ship of the Yi people that they found that this group of people was from the Wa Kingdom. They had just finished a business with the Wa Kingdom, exchanging their artillery for three ships of gold, silver and jewelry.
"Those Huang Maoyi were sunk into the sea by me, but the three sea boats were kept, and I asked them to be sent to Wang Chenghai's hands, thinking that he would know how to use them."
The lord has already distributed the gold, silver and jewelry he brought back, and two boats were sent to the palace to honor the saint and his old man, two boats were given to the emperor, and one boat was given to the prince as pocket money.
There are four boats left, one boat is for Ning Guofu, one boat is filled into the treasury of Rongguo Mansion, and one boat is spent by the eldest master himself, and the most one is directly divided into many portions and rewarded to the cubs and girls at home.
Jia Cong roughly calculated that there were nine large ships full of gold, silver and jewelry, worth about 35 million to 40 million taels of silver.
In addition to the five boats that were honored to the saints, emperors, and princes, Ning Rongjia's family directly recorded more than fifteen million taels this time.
It's no wonder that Westerners are keen on overseas colonization, and the speed of money is so damn fast!
"In fact, the various temples in southern Xinjiang are not rich, and the real ones who are rich are those monks in Tianzhu. My father has already inquired clearly, and the Yiren people have already robbed hundreds of ships of gold and silver in Tianzhu, and if we wait, we won't even be able to drink the soup. ”
The old man seemed to be extremely regretful, and he almost beat his chest.
He said to Jia Cong: "When I return to Beijing this time, I will write to Your Majesty, and let our sailors wait on the way for the Yi people to return to the West, and sing them a big drama of praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches." You rob yours, I rob mine, it's all mine after all! ”
……
Since Wang Chenghai received Jia Cong's letter, he sent half of Jinghaiwei's main force to cruise on the sea along the southeast coast.
Except for the necessary time to replenish, the soldiers had been searching the sea for more than three months.
"Woo woo woo woo ~ "
The sudden sound of the horn pulled Wang Si, who was bored and teasing crabs, back into the life of "Aquaman".
He immediately stepped onto the deck, raised his clairvoyant scope, and looked in the direction of the fingers of his observation hand.
"His grandmother's, finally found!"
Wang Si snapped and closed the clairvoyant mirror, excitedly commanded the fleet to load ammunition, and pulled the sails to prepare for the enemy's attack.
The fleet flying the banner of Jingzi was like a hungry wolf that had seen its prey, and it directly accelerated towards the merchant fleet in the south.
After nearly two years of drifting at sea, the ocean-going caravan of the Xilin Party is finally about to set foot on the land of their hometown with a shipload of gold and silver.
"Report, third master, I found a fleet ahead, looking at the style of our Daxia ship, but the speed of the ship is very fast, and it is coming towards us."
Qian Qianqi doesn't like others to get close to him, because he has been floating on the sea for nearly two years, and he has not bathed for a long time and the unique climate of the sea, so that people always have an endless salty smell on their bodies.
Fortunately, he is the leader of this joint merchant fleet, and no matter how precious the fresh water at sea is, it will not cut off his usefulness.
Qian Qianqi covered his nose with a handkerchief, waved his hand indifferently and said: "We have hung our flag, and now we have arrived at the sea, who dares not to give face to my Qian family......"
Boom boom boom~
Before he finished speaking, the earth-shattering roar reached his ears, and then he felt that the sea ship under his feet was constantly undulating and shaking.
The speed of the slap in the face was too fast, and Qian Qianqi didn't react at all, so he heard all kinds of shouts and screams outside the cabin.
Jinghaiwei is the strongest maritime force in Daxia today, not only equipped with the fastest and largest tonnage sail battleships, but also has the latest type of shipboard artillery.
The largest of these guns is not only breech-loading but also has a range of 1,500 paces.
When Qian Qianqi was still disgusted with the smell of his subordinates, he was already approached by Jing Haiwei's battleship, and there was a hearty face-riding output.
At a distance of 1,500 paces, the old-fashioned artillery equipped on the Xilin merchant ship could not reach Jinghaiwei's ship even if it wanted to return fire, so it could only be hoisted and beaten.
A round of artillery fire directly damaged half of the merchant ships.
Jing Haiwei didn't bother to jump and board the ship to fight, and under the command of Wang Si, he specially hoisted out of the range of the merchant ship's artillery, covering and bullying people with firepower.
Don't look at Qian Qianqi and others when they face ordinary people on weekdays, they are arrogant and look at people with their nostrils.
But in the face of the attack of the cannonballs, he had long hid in the corner of the cabin, praying to Mazu and her old man, hoping that the cannonballs would not hit him.
Maybe Mazu and her old man were really too kind, and they were really survived by Qian Qianqi under several rounds of artillery fire.
But alive to alive, after Wang Si emptied all the belongings on these merchant ships, he directly locked Qian Qianqi with those "mud legs" who were still alive.
The small cabin was packed.
In the small, dimly lit cabin, there was a mixture of smells. Coupled with the stuffy environment, Qian Qianqi felt itchy all over his body, smelling the smell in the cabin, and kept retching.
He wanted to ask for mercy, and wanted to use the prestige of his Zhejiang Qian family to ask for a favor from Wang Si's hands.
I don't want Wang Si to be too lazy to see him at all, the harvest of this trip is really great.
"Worthy of the fleet supported by the Sillin people, lo and behold, sixteen large ships, eight small ships, full of gold, silver and jewels. Yongfeng Bo once said that wealth comes from the sea, and today the official has really seen it! ”
Wang Si grinned, the hard work of the past few months was finally not in vain. When these treasures are sent to the capital, the emperor will not reward him for a promotion?
But before that, he had one more thing to do.
"Come, pick a few big boxes for me to fill, pick the most valuable ones, we must thank Yongfeng Bo!"

That's all for tonight, and tomorrow for the rest, good night!
