Chapter 656: Don't Make Me Look Down on You
readx;
The treasury silver in the Yayin Treasury of Fuqing County was used to pay the military salaries of Weihai Wei, but it was only temporarily deposited here through Fuqing County. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info has been robbed by pirates now, if it can't be recovered, the army of Weihaiwei will not let Xia Jialun go. Second, the imperial court will not let Xia Jialun go. His official career may be over.
Xia Jialun was flustered, and hurriedly said: "Let's go! Take this official to the silver vault to have a look." ”
When he came back from the silver vault, Xia Jialun's face was like ashes. The silver vault was empty, and not even a copper plate was left for Xia Jialun. The only thing left is just a mark of the "Sea Jiao Gang", which means that it is the Sea Jiao Gang who do this.
After Xia Jialun returned to the backyard, he sat in the hall blankly. Xia Lin walked to Xia Jialun's side, and Jiang Xia, who had become his companion reading boy, followed Xia Lin.
Xia Lin asked Xia Jialun: "Dad, is the matter very serious?"
Xia Jialun sighed, shook his head and said, "Lin'er, hurry up and pack up your things and leave the house." If it's late, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave. ”
"So serious?" Xia Lin's eyes widened, and his face turned pale with fright.
Xia Jialun let out a long sigh, which was regarded as answering Xia Lin's question. The two fathers and sons raised their eyebrows, and Jiang Xia on the side shook his head secretly. Originally, he didn't want to care about this matter, but now he is in the Xia family after all, and he is in the same boat as the father and son of the Xia family.
Jiang Xia said: "My lord, the villain has a plan to wipe out the entire Haijiao Gang, I don't know if the adult dares to try it?"
"All...... Annihilation...... "Rao Xia Jialun is also a well-informed person, and after hearing Jiang Xia's words, he also began to become a little incoherent.
Although it may sound ridiculous to listen to a subordinate to offer a strategy to destroy pirates, it is still a hope. Xia Jialun has to try it anyway, anyway, there is nothing to lose by listening to it. Whether you can do it or not, the decision is up to you.
Xia Jialun glanced at Jiang Xia with appreciation, pointed to the passage in the side hall with his right hand, and said, "Let's go to the study with this official and sit down." After speaking, Xia Jialun instructed Xia Lin behind him: "Let people serve good tea and prepare dinner." ”
Jiang Xia glanced at Xia Lin, nodded slightly to Xia Lin, and then followed Xia Jialun to the side hall.
The study, both ancient and modern, is a very important place for men. First, this is a private space that belongs to men, and secondly, it is also a place where men use to show their connotation and cultivation.
Xia Jialun can sit on the county order, and naturally he is also from the two lists, such a character, the study is naturally indispensable to all kinds of classics and classics.
Three large bookshelves filled with books. As soon as you enter the house, you can smell the printed paper. This kind of taste is a symbol of connotation for readers, and it is called "book fragrance".
If it is said that with Xia Jialun's status, his study should be larger. But the study in front of me is only about 20 square meters, and it doesn't look very spacious.
But the house full of Danqing calligraphy and paintings also sets off a touch of elegance. Xia Jialun walked behind a long mahogany case, and before he walked down, he pointed to a wooden chair in front of the long case and said to Jiang Xia: "He An, sit down." ”
"Thank you, sir. After Jiang Xia hugged Xia Jialun, he walked to the chair that Xia Jialun pointed to and sat down.
After Jiang Xia sat down, he said to Xia Jialun: "My lord is busy with official business, so He An will make a long story short and get straight to the point." ”
"It's okay, just speak your mind. Xia Jialun said.
Jiang Xia nodded, and then explained his plan in detail. After listening to Jiang Xia's plan, Xia Jialun's small eyes kept shining. He pinched his chin with his hand, and soon fell into deep thought.
After carefully scrutinizing every link Jiang Xia said, Xia Jialun slapped his table and said to Jiang Xia: "Okay, He An's plan is really exquisite. This official will follow your plan and have a good time with this Haijiao Gang for a while. It's just that the implementation of this strategy, many of which still have to rely on He An, you have to be careful. ”
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, He An will definitely go all out to help your adults exterminate the Sea Jiao Gang!"
This Haijiao gang is here in Fuzhou and is known as the "first murderer of the three gangs and four factions". There were more than 800 pirates and more than 40 large and small ships. They act in a different way than ordinary pirates. Ordinary pirates generally go ashore to plunder, mostly in search of money, and rarely injure others. And they are not only robbing money, but they are simply adultery, adultery, and plunder, and do all kinds of evil. often kills people at every turn, so it is the most famous.
After discussing some details of the plan with Xia Jialun just now, the two walked out of the study together. At this moment, dinner was also prepared in the kitchen, and Xia Jialun personally accompanied him and invited Jiang Xia and Xia Lin to have dinner together.
After the meal, Jiang Xia said goodbye to Xia Jialun, and Xia Jialun specially ordered Xia Lin and the housekeeper Han Bo to send him. On the way, Han Bo gave Jiang Xia a Daming treasure banknote with a denomination of one hundred taels.
Han Bo explained to Jiang Xia that this was the hard-earned money given to him by the county commander in advance, and hoped that he could really assist the county magistrate to exterminate the pirates of the Haijiao Gang this time.
Jiang Xia nodded and unceremoniously accepted the treasure banknote. When they arrived at the courtyard of the servants, they were at the door of the servants' room. Jiang Xia asked Uncle Han, "Steward Han, when will Lord County Cheng come?"
"It'll be here tonight, and you can go when you do. Han Bodao.
"Okay. Jiang Xia answered, and then pushed into the servant's room.
Xia Lin entered the servant's room with Jiang Xia, and in addition to the two of them, only Haida was the only one in the room. The rest of the servants should still be doing things.
Xia Lin couldn't help but ask Jiang Xia: "He An, just now Uncle Han said that Lord Xiancheng would come to you at night, and then set off with you." What are you looking for? Where are you going?"
"Lord Xiancheng came to me to go to Zhouji Island together. Jiang Xia said this sentence indifferently, as if he was saying that today's Chinese cabbage has risen by a penny per catty.
But his words made Hai Dayou and Xia Lin change their colors together. What kind of place is this Zhouji Island? That's Cao Zhi's territory.
Who is Cao Zhi? The head of the Tonghai Gang. And this Tonghai Gang is recognized as the number one force among the pirate forces in the entire Fuzhou sea area.
Since the Fujian sailors left Fujian, the pirates have become more and more rampant. The only difference is this Tonghai Gang.
Historically, they only plundered the merchant ships of foreign merchants, and they had rules. Generally, foreign merchant ships are plundered, and only 30% of the value of the goods is plundered. After the raid, they will also be escorted to ensure that they are safely docked and not from the second raid.
In this way, foreign merchants directly regarded them as guards to ensure the safety of their property, and took the initiative to open their merchant ships to his territory. Then you don't have to fight, just send the silver.
As a result, the Tonghai Gang basically monopolized the financial route of foreign merchant ships and became the first pirate force in the waters of Fuzhou.
Legend has it that the people of the Tonghai Gang were extremely vicious and ferocious. Cao Zhi even likes to eat human flesh raw, and after arresting people, he cuts the flesh from people one by one and eats them.
So when he heard Jiang Xia say that he was going to Zhouji Island, Xia Lin was a little unstable. And Hai Dayou is also worried.
Night fell quickly, and Hai Dayou has been trying his best to do Jiangxia's ideological work by writing with tea, hoping that he will not go to Zhouji Island. But in the end, Jiang Xia was unmoved and insisted on going. In the end, Hai Dayou really couldn't resist Jiang Xia, and finally agreed to Jiang Xia to go, on the condition that he take him with him.
Jiang Xia nodded and agreed, and in the end, Xia Lin thought twice and asked to go with him.
Jiang Xia originally didn't agree, because going to Zhouji Island was a risky move, after all, Cao Zhi's wife, children and parents were all arrested by Xia Jialun, and they are still imprisoned in the prison of Fuzhou Mansion. And Jiang Xia went to Zhouji Island this time, but on behalf of Xia Jialun, he recruited Cao Zhi and asked him to help destroy the Haijiao Gang.
This is the only way to exterminate the Haijiao Gang, otherwise it is impossible to destroy the huge Haijiao Gang just by relying on the strength of the small Fuqing County.
But Xia Lin seemed to have an iron heart, saying that he had to go.
The time has just arrived. The door of the servant's room suddenly remembered the knock, and the three of Jiang Xia, who had been waiting in the servant's room, exchanged glances with each other. Finally, Xia Lin got up, walked over and opened the door of the servant's room.
Outside the door, there were three men dressed in black, one of whom was in front and the other two were behind, standing on the left and right. The man at the head was about thirty-four or five years old, with a beard of more than six inches, and looked thin and weak, and had a good manner. The other two are armed with steel knives on their waists, burly figures, and their eyebrows are full of heroic spirit, and they know at a glance that they are people who practice martial arts.
Just by their appearance, the identities of the three are not difficult to discern.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man glanced at Jiang Xia and the three of them, and then said, "This official is Mao Wensong, the county magistrate of Fuqing County, which of you is He An?"
Jiang Xia stood up, clasped his fists at Mao Wensong and bowed: "See Lord County, the villain is Jiang Xia." ”
Mao Wensong looked at Jiang Xia and frowned tightly. He whispered in his mouth: "I actually believe the words of a mere servant, I really want to get out and go crazy." ”
Although Mao Wensong lowered his voice, his words could still be heard clearly by everyone on such a quiet night. Mao Wensong didn't have a good face for Jiang Xia and them, and took out two envelopes directly from his arms. He handed the letter to Jiang Xia and said, "These two letters, one is a warrant from the prefect, promising to release his family immediately as long as Cao Zhi is willing to accept Zhao'an.
One was a warrant from the county magistrate, promising that as long as Cao Zhi was willing to accept Zhao'an, he would restore his talent and fame and allow him to take the imperial examination again. Take these two letters and follow them to Zhouji Island. ”
After Jiang Xia heard Mao Wensong's words, he looked up at him sharply with a look of surprise. He frowned slightly and asked, "Aren't you going to Zhouji Island with us?"
"Hmph, this official is not crazy yet, how can he go to Zhouji Island with you, a little servant, to die. Mao Wensong said coldly.
"No!" Jiang Xia refused, "If you don't go, Cao Zhi will definitely feel that Fuqing County is not sincere." When the time comes, we will not be able to recruit security, and we will really have to go and not return, so you must go. ”
"Bold!" Mao Wensong shouted angrily, "This official is really an official of the imperial court of the eighth grade, how can you be a little servant who can call and drink? Besides, you servant is so good and uneducated, and when you see this official, you don't even know how to shout 'adult', 'you', 'you', it's really rude and tight." ”
Jiang Xia didn't have any tongue with Mao Wensong, he looked directly at Mao Wensong and said, "You can go, you have to go if you don't go." Dad, Xia Lin, tie him up!"
As soon as Jiang Xia's words came out, bang, bang, bang,
Two officials and a county official were instantly knocked out by Hai Dayou. Jiang Xia and Xia Lin both looked at Hai Dayou in surprise, and Hai Dayou gestured twice, meaning: "The old man is a person who knows kung fu." ”
glanced at the three people who had fainted, and then said, "Okay, let's go, let's go to the dock." ”
Xia Lin and Haida nodded, neither of them noticed that Jiang Xia had unknowingly become the one who gave orders. Moreover, he also posted it so naturally that people subconsciously listened to him.
Mao Wensong didn't know how long he had been asleep, and the first thing he saw when he woke up was the roof of the cabin. Then, by feeling, he knew he was sleeping on a bunk.
Mao Wensong hurriedly turned over and got up, and as soon as he turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, he saw Jiang Xia, Xia Lin, and Hai Dayou sitting opposite.
Mao Wensong pointed at Jiang Xia and roared angrily: "You are so bold that you dare to attack the imperial court officials." I don't think you want to live anymore, so tell me where I am now? Send me back to shore!"
Jiang Xia smiled faintly and said, "The ship has been set off for more than an hour, and in two hours, it will arrive at Zhouji Island." At this hour, no ship can pass by on the sea, and we can't send you back. So adults should dissipate their anger and wait for the ship to arrive at Zhouji Island with peace of mind. ”
"You...... You ......" Mao Wensong couldn't say anything because of Jiang Xia's words, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Jiang Xia for a long time, and finally had to slap the bed heavily to vent his anger.
In the cabin, Jiang Xia, Hai Dayou, Xia Lin, and the three of them did not speak. Mao Wensong was angry, and he didn't speak except for gasping for air. The atmosphere is icy to the extreme. And such an atmosphere lasted for nearly half an hour, and was finally broken by Mao Wensong's words.
After Mao Wensong slowly dissipated his anger, he found that Jiang Xia and the three of them did not have any nervous and frightened expressions on their faces. You must know that this is about to arrive at Zhouji Island, which is no different from hell on earth in the legend of Fuqing County.
Mao Wensong couldn't help but ask Jiang Xia: "Why do you think that if you let Cao Zhi's family go and restore his fame, he will accept Zhao'an?
Jiang Xia glanced at Mao Wensong and said, "When did I say that if I let Cao Zhi's family go and restore his fame, he would accept Zhao'an? Cao Zhi is not stupid, if he is the No. 1 pirate leader in Fuzhou, he doesn't do it, and he wants to be a poor and sour talent, isn't this a brain disease?"
"You know this, then you still have to recruit him!" Mao Wensong couldn't help but yell again.
Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "No wonder you are just a county prince, just with your 'calmness', I am afraid it will take a lot of trouble to become a county prince." ”
"You ......" Mao Wensong was suddenly stung by Jiang Xia's words. Because he was really unfortunate to be said by Jiang Xia, although he was born in a poor family, his wife at home came from an official family. The wife asked many times in front of her father-in-law, and she had already given Mao Wensong an official position from the sixth grade.
But I don't know if it's because of bad official luck or if there is really a problem with my ability, Mao Wensong was demoted all the way, and finally demoted to the current grade of the eighth grade.
Of course, to put it mildly, the county of Zhengbapin, the real power is not small. At least in this Fuqing County, Xia Jialun is one level older than him. So all along, he has also been showing off his power in Fuqing County, but he didn't expect to be looked down upon by a small servant today, which really made Mao Wensong angry.
However, before Mao Wensong could say anything about Liu Ping'an, Jiang Xia said lightly: "My parents, wife and children are just a stepping stone for me to meet Cao Zhi." Since I'm eyeing him Cao Zhi, he has to do what I planned, must!"
Jiang Xia suddenly let out a sigh, then stood up and walked to the exit of the cabin. At the moment when he lifted the curtain and went out, Jiang Xia suddenly turned his back to Mao Wensong and said: "You are also a dignified eight-grade master, how can you not even compare with a small servant in your courage? If you are still a man, don't patronize the official power, but show some courage that a man should have." Remember, don't let a little servant look down on you. ”r1058
