In the next three days, Luoyang changed.

Not only has the climate changed, but the atmosphere in the city has also changed.

Gray and cloudy, black clouds overwhelm the city, and a storm is coming.

The trial of the Jia family also came as promised-

Since the emperor's order, Luoyang Mansion arrested the three Jia brothers that night, together with their domestic servants, disciples, and property, all those related to the word "Jia" were wiped out.

Through the evidence provided by Song Che and the joint testimony of all the female relatives, the 17 main culprits led by Jia Dai were sentenced to beheading for multiple crimes such as human trafficking, usury, reckless disregard for human life, forcing good people to become prostitutes, tax evasion, and hanging their bodies at the city gate for three days to warn the world and set an example.

As soon as the announcement of the big case came out, it caused a sensation in the entire capital, and in order to protect himself, Taishi Jia immediately cut off the relationship with his godson, claiming that he was completely ignorant, and took the initiative to admit his mistake to the emperor.

The emperor remembered that Jia Taishi was old, and he was an old minister and a prince in the court, so he deprived him of his rights, retained his title, and said that he resigned and returned to his hometown, but in fact drove him out of Luoyang.

Luoyang Prefecture investigated and dealt with the cargo ship that trafficked people, but the next family of the "supply" was obviously cunning, and even Jia Dai and others did not know their origin.

As for the Jia family's upper family, everyone knows who it is, but so what? If you are cowardly, you will be beaten, and if you are beaten, you must stand upright.

With Jia Taishi's power in the court for many years, as long as he is not dead, this huge chain of interests will not be broken; And even if he dies, someone else will take over.

Song Che knew very well in his heart that people who waded through the troubled waters, even if they struggled to get out, would be stained with filth.

This seemingly prosperous, but potholed city, the farther away the better.

Day 3, Night.

The letter of amnesty from the Ministry of Rites was sent to Keju City as promised, and all the thirteen female dependents of the Red Mansion who participated in the war for Hongxing Society were stripped of their lowly status.

Like Nangong Yue, Song Che gave them a deed to serve for three years. Luo Chao still needs her beauty in the next season.

Regarding the more than 1,000 female dependents who were trafficked to Luoyang, Luoyang Mansion gave each of them a resettlement fee, and also chartered eight large boats to be escorted home by the forbidden army in person.

On the fourth day, thunder rolled, dark clouds covered the sun, and a storm was approaching.

Song Che exchanged all the income he had earned in Luoyang City in the past two months into flying money, and then pushed his wheelbarrow, accompanied by all the female dependents, and rushed to the Dongcheng Wharf.

Passing by the city gate, more than a dozen heads hanging from the city wall swayed in the wind, and Jadai's head was particularly eye-catching, and even the crow liked to eat its flesh, and it was gnawed beyond recognition.

"It's a pity that the heads of the Jia family father and son are not hung up, if there are more of them, this scenery will be perfect." Lin Yue sighed.

Song Che smiled and said, "Those who do bad things will be punished sooner or later." Old and immortal things tend to live longer, but the longer they live, the more miserable they will die. ”

Luoyang Wharf, autumn breeze send-off.

More than a dozen peerless beauties, with swaying dresses and flying hair, such a demeanor is difficult to see in the Red Mansion, and they attracted the attention of countless people before they got on the dock, not only stunned men, but also envied women.

Song Che sighed in his heart, he wanted to leave quietly, but now it's good, everyone is staring at him.

Song Che ...... You look at this gas, maybe it's going to rain heavily, why don't you stay in Luoyang for a few more days, and then go back when the rain clears? ”

Lin Yue spoke out again. Since last night, she has stayed more than once.

Song Che looked at the gray sky, this continuous autumn rain, I don't know how long it will rain, the reason why he will leave is that he doesn't want to cause trouble to others, and second, he is like an arrow, and he really misses his wife.

He didn't say much, only shook his head.

"Since you want to part, how about another poem?" Nangong Yue looked sincerely. She is different from Lin Yue's straightforwardness, but she is more emotional than Lin Yue, and often a poem can make her tears wet her eyes.

Song Che also handed over all the business of Hongxing Society to Nangong Yue, she is very smart and has the demeanor of a shopkeeper. Maybe she also has special feelings, but her gentle and introverted personality only allows her to bury this emotion in her heart.

In this situation, there is nothing more than:

"There are confidants in the sea, if they are next to each other, they are doing nothing, and their children are stained with towels."

After reading the poem, Nangong Yuedang's eyes were red, and she asked urgently: "Song Che, do we still have a chance to wind and snow together, and sing poetry and wine?" ”

At this time, the urging of the boat boss sounded on the dock:

"If you haven't caught up on the boat, please hurry up, it's going to rain hard, and you have to arrive in Bianjing before the water rises today!"

"Next year's Luo Chao's spring game, if you do a good job, maybe I will take the time to take a look."

There is no need to say much about parting, and we will see each other in the future.

Song Che waved his hand at the ladies and pushed the wheelbarrow to board the passenger boat.

"Boom!"

The long-accumulated thunder finally rang out.

In the midst of the autumn wind, heavy rain poured down.

"Ding Ding Dong ......"

Raindrops beat the river, and passenger boats left the docks.

The women stood on the pier, letting the rain and wind blow, and they did not move at all, sending their benefactors with affection.

Lin Yue couldn't help but burst out with emotion, ran along the shore in the rain, and shouted loudly on the boat: "Song Che, when the prince comes back, I will resign with him, and then come to Suzhou to find you......"

Song Che shouted on the boat: "Don't chase, the rain is getting heavier and heavier!" ”

Lin Yue didn't stop, but the turbulent water and the sudden rain curtain pulled the two farther and farther away, and gradually, people couldn't see it, and the sound faded.

The parting with regret is for a better encounter next time;

The hazy farewell is precisely the most sincere feeling.

……

"Boom la la ......"

The rain was pouring and it was pouring non-stop.

The river was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, and passenger boats were swaying and bumping in the wind and rain, as if they were about to be toppled at any moment.

In the cabin, Song Che had to hold the table and chair to make himself stand firm, and water droplets seeped from time to time from the flower board.

No wonder there is a huge ship, but there are few guests, and the locals really know more about the climate of Luoyang than the outsiders.

In desperation, the passenger ship can stop at the Changkou Wharf for a while, and then set sail when the wind and rain are over. Who expected that this would be a morning.

At noon, the passenger ship resumed sailing, but the river was very turbulent after the rising water, and the boat could not be too fast, and the original plan was to arrive in Bianjing before dark, but now it seems that it will have to be at least two watches.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, when I arrive in Bianjing, no passenger ship dares to go down to the south of the Yangtze River again, if I take the land route, I don't know how long it will take more than a thousand miles.

This return journey is destined to be difficult.

In the afternoon, the rain stopped for a while, but the dark clouds in the sky did not disperse, and the storm would return sooner or later.

Song Che took advantage of the stability of the boat and took a quick rest, and when he was woken up again, night had quietly fallen.

The passenger boat shook fiercely, and the stomach also turned over the river and the sea, and if it continued to be so bumpy, the food eaten three days ago would be vomited.

Song Che planned to go out of the cabin to breathe, but before he could go out, a fierce voice faintly sounded above his head:

"Boarding the ship tonight is a personal vendetta! If you don't want to die, don't move! ”

"Big ...... Uncle, I'm ...... We don't have a lot of guests on board, ...... Leave us alone! ”

"No nonsense, have you ever seen this man! He was twenty-four or five years old, about eight feet tall, wearing a dark blue robe, and his hair was shorter than ordinary people! ”

Song Che compared the image described by the man, glanced down at his clothes, and touched his hair...... Isn't that me?!
