Chapter 70: Great Birthday

Late at night.

There are only four people in the hall: the Lin family and the Jia family brothers.

"That is, my uncle has confirmed that the salt merchants have problems, but he has never seized the opportunity to kill them?" Jia Hui held a folding fan and kept patting the palm of his left hand.

"Yes, from the hands of the big and small deer families, they have turned over the letter ledger that contacted each family, but you also know that this is useless except for really catching them on the spot!

They all have several ledgers! Speaking of this, Lin Ruhai sighed.

"So, how did they get in touch with Zhongxin and the Zhen family?" Jia Zhu rubbed his chin and threw another question.

"This is the strangest thing, they only have a single contact, the head of the Dalu family confesses, it is the contact between Chairman Bai of their Salt Merchants Chamber of Commerce and a shopkeeper called Shi Shopkeeper in the Zhongxin Palace, and the contact with the Zhen family is also a contact with the Zhen family called Shopkeeper Xu."

"A single contact? Didn't the rest of the salt merchants try to bypass this white president? Jia Zhu felt a little incredible.

"Hmph, presumably, these salt merchants who tried to bypass either died unexpectedly, or were caught, and they could only let that Chairman Bai monopolize the contact with Shopkeeper Xu." Jia Hui put the fan against his lap and sneered.

Lin Ruhai nodded.

Jia Hui began to knock his legs with a folding fan.

"Something is wrong, something is very wrong..."

"Something is wrong? What's wrong with Brother Hun? Jia Min asked.

Jia Hui didn't answer.

"There is definitely something wrong with the salt merchant's matter, and my uncle still put it on hold for the time being. Anyway, let's wait until I run the Jiangnan business! Jia Hui knocked the folding fan heavily on his leg and said solemnly to Lin Ruhai.

"It's... Okay..."Lin Ruhai heard that the matter of the salt merchant was going to be put on hold, and was about to refute a few words, but he could see Jia Hui's solemn expression, and still agreed.

"However, the beating still has to be beaten, so it will be set in a few days when they come to pay their respects."

Several people nodded subconsciously, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Birthday? Big brother, who do you want to give your birthday to? Jia Zhu was confused.

"Yes, Brother Hun, the old lady in the family is born in July, and your uncle and I are not on May, who are you going to pay your birthday to?" Jia Min also looked puzzled.

Wrong! Is your birthday in May?

"Me, the nineteenth birthday! Whoever doesn't come will despise the Great Sima General! ”

Jia Hui knocked on the table next to him with a fan and stood up.

"Rest, farewell!"

。。。。。。

The next day, the governor of the Left Army, Shangzhuguo, the great Sima general, and the nineteen-year-old Duke of Dunhuang County, Jia Hui... The news of the birthday spread all over Yangzhou City, especially the salt merchants.

"Nineteen? Birthday? Hmph, this age is called Dashou, he is not afraid of folding Fu Lushou? President Bai looked at Jia Hui's birthday with a ridiculous look and invited him to the birthday banquet.

The most embarrassing thing for him was that the end of the invitation was not written with an honorific such as "Welcome", but an arrogant sentence - if you don't come, you will bear the consequences.

"President, to put it mildly, he has already obtained the monstrous wealth and glory that we will live to be eighty or ninety years old, and even in the next few lifetimes, shouldn't he be arrogant?

Even if he dies violently now, it will be a famous general who will go down in history and leave his name in history, what is he afraid of damaging Fu Lushou? "The head of the Gao family, a salt merchant, is a man whose mouth is faster than his brain, and President Bai, who was embarrassed on the spot, almost passed.

Several salt merchants hurriedly fanned President Bai again, and it was smooth, and it took a while to calm down.

President Bai looked at the head of the Gao family weakly, if he didn't know that this fight was small, he would be straightforward and fast-talking, and his ability was also strong.

The most important thing is that the size of the Gao family is on the same level as himself, or even a little higher, if it weren't for the fact that the head of the Gao family was too young at the time, otherwise which round would he be the president?

"That's a good point, don't say it again next time!"

What else? Forgive him, of course...

Although President Bai was quite jealous of the Gao family, the head of the Gao family still respected President Bai very much, and seeing that President Bai's state had stabilized, he hurriedly arrived at a cup of tea and handed it to President Bai.

"President, are we really going? This is obviously a bad comer, after all, we are the disciples of the faithful prince! A salt merchant said worriedly.

Something like wall grass has always become unflattering on both sides.

"Go, must go! This has nothing to do with the wallgrass!

Don't look at us in Jiangnan one by one, but in Jia Hui's eyes, there is not much difference between pinching us to death and pinching to death ants, and the identity gap is too big. To be honest, that is, in Yangzhou, there are not many nobles, so we have the opportunity to meet people.

If you are in Shendu, I am afraid that you will be driven away by other people's doors, and you won't even be able to see other people's big housekeepers, and you won't have that qualification to come to the door!

So, go with peace of mind, the prince will definitely understand! ”

Although he is doing the things of the Yi three clans, Chairman Bai's positioning of his identity is still clear and very clear.

"So, then go? What kind of congratulatory gifts to prepare? The head of the Gao family asked.

"What grade to prepare? Go to the "Great Qi Law", go to the "Great Qi Huidian", what can you send, what you can't send, what will be sent to the three clans of the arrogance is written on it, don't be stunned, go and prepare to go. After President Bai finished speaking, he took the lead in leaving the teahouse.

Salt merchants, you look at me, I look at you, and they all go back and prepare.

。。。。。。

Outside the city of Yangzhou, the old place of the camp in the north of the Yangtze River.

Jia Hui chose this place as one of the command posts for the rectification of the Jiangnan battalion.

As for why you don't live in Jinling City?

The main reason is that the relationship between the families in Jinling and the Jiangnan camp is too close, in this case, Jia Hui will not be stupid to go to other people's territory to cut other people's meat, is he really not afraid that people will punch him with his backhand, poison, take water, assassinate or something?

However, sooner or later, he would have to go to Jinling to work, so Jia Hui sent people to the southern foot of the Purple Mountain, where the Ming Xiaolingwei was in the previous life to repair the military camp.

Coincidentally, there was originally a guard station stationed here, called Zijinwei, which was established in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, until the establishment of the Jiangnan camp and abolished, and merged into the Jiangnan camp.

As for the Jiangnan camp, it was stationed in the Dajiaochang in the south of Jinling City in the previous Ming Dynasty.

The Jinling City of this world is not as big as in the previous life, it is the Ming Jinling of the Ming Dynasty with the removal of the Outer Guo City.

Since it has only been three years since the Jiangbei battalion has been dismantled, after a little cleaning and maintenance, this battalion can be used again.

Of course, he didn't pack up much, so he packed up an independent camp that could accommodate about four or five thousand people, and it was more than enough to accommodate the more than three thousand five hundred people brought by Jia Hui.

In the festival hall, Jia Hui was meeting with the thousands of households in Jinling, Tan Ji.

"See the Governor of the Metropolis!" As soon as he entered the door, Tan Ji knelt on one knee and bowed.

"Tan Qianhu is exempt, come, sit."

"Humble Governor Xie!" Tan Ji stood up, but he still leaned forward, sat on the chair on the side with small steps, and then straightened his waist, his eyes did not look at Jia Hui, but his head lowered slightly, and he looked roughly at the wooden tube containing the token on the table.

Sure enough, he's a very polite person.

Jia Hui observed Tan Ji.

This is a good-looking man, about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, in Jia Hui's eyes, Tan Ji's every action shows that he has good skills, that is, he is a little shorter, one meter and six.

But this height with muscles that can be clearly felt makes Tan Ji give people a fierce feeling.

It's a talent, but unfortunately, it's a pervert.

Tan Ji, the embroidered clothes guard is called "the wrong hand".

My favorite thing in my life is to pinch off the bones and muscles of prisoners during torture. Of course, he also liked the other methods of torture.

Although the methods are extremely tyrannical, everyone in the embroidered clothes guard is not an idle person, except for a little irritability at first, they quickly get used to it.

Until last year, after the last commander of the emperor's embroidered guard died of illness, the emperor gave the embroidered guard to the emperor, and only the East Factory was left in his hands.

The happy emperor parachuted his milk brother into the embroidered guard as a commander.

The new commander naturally wanted to get acquainted with his subordinates, so he took people to visit.

At first, it was very good, and it perfectly matched the fantasy of the conductor to embroider clothes.

Then he wanted to go to the Imperial Prison again, and then he saw Tan Ji, who was interrogating the prisoner.

Three days later, an appointment was placed on Tan Ji's desk.

According to a person familiar with the matter, the commander of the Skip Gang who followed the emperor's naval battle back then went home after watching Tan Ji's interrogation process, and when he got home, he began to vomit, and all the bile he vomited came out, he retched when he saw meat at the dinner table, and he didn't sleep well for several nights, and he came on a bad trip with big bags under his eyes for several days in a row.

Tan Ji came to Jinling in this way, and became a thousand households.

Of course, there is nothing depreciating, Tan Ji was even promoted by one level, from deputy thousand households to thousands of households.

But now, the emperor temporarily gave himself the command of the Jinling Thousand Households, etc., before he returned to the Shendu, the entire Jiangnan embroidery system was used by Jia Hui.

"For the collusion between the Salt Gang and the Jiangnan camp... Forget it, give me the information of the Jiangnan camp first, and the salt gang will monitor it for the time being. ”

"Yes, I understand!" Tan Ji replied.

Then, Tan Ji took out a booklet from his arms, held the booklet in both hands and handed it to Jia Hui.

"That's all?"

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, the Jiangnan camp is the focus of my thousands of households, and there is a lot of information.

This is a summary of the lowly position, if you want to see the specifics, the lowly position will send someone to send it immediately! ”

Afraid that the Metropolitan Governor would misunderstand, Tan Ji hurriedly explained.

"In this way, then sort out the group of people who have collusion with the Jiangnan clan, or who were originally relatives of the clan, and I will see it at night."

"Yes, obligation!" After speaking, Tan Ji turned his head to look at the little soldier who came in with him, and the little soldier understood, and hurriedly went to call someone to sort it out.

Jia Hui looked at Tan Ji's summary.

In general, the Jiangnan camp is divided into these parts.

The first part, the non-commissioned officers and the junior officers.

It is composed of the majority of Jinling and the surrounding people and a small number of Soviet, Hui and Zhejiang soldiers.

With the passage of time, the locals in the camp continued to have children of the big clans entering the nominal gilding, and many people worked hard to send their idle sons to the military camp as soldiers and get paid, and they looked good to give him a daughter-in-law.

But the two groups of people are not good birds, and under the influence of the two groups of people, the only remaining people who are responsible have also been co-opted and divided, and corrupted.

Only the Su, Hui and Zhejiang guest armies who were transferred here were left to maintain a certain amount of training, but more than ten years of Chengping also made their combat strength inevitably decline.

The senior generals are a little more simple.

Needless to say, the rest should be cleaned up are the ones inside, who think that they can be lawless if they take refuge in the Zhen family and the faithful queen, as well as the so-called "Daqi veterans" who rely on the old and sell the old and disdain Jia Hui.

There are some other reasons for the scattering, so I won't talk about them here.

"That is to say, the so-called Jiangnan camp in Daqi has almost become the private army of the families headed by the Zhen family?"

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, I'm afraid yes, the Zhen family relied on the old lady Fengsheng, wantonly planted people in Jiangnan, and touched all kinds of businesses, and the Jiangnan camp naturally could not be ignored. Let's take the generals who were bought.

was transferred to the Jiangnan camp, but another prince came to the Jiangnan camp.

At this time, he became the disciple of the faithful prince, but because there were more people than alive, and the Jiangnan battalion was a garrison force, he didn't even have a chance to be promoted and make a fortune, so he could only drink the blood of the soldiers.

At this time, the Zhen family, who grabbed the handle of these generals, appeared. began to preach what kind of treatment the faithful prince had when he ascended the throne, and what benefits he had for the continuation of the family, and he could not refuse.

At this moment, the Jinling generals, who had long had no way out, had to get on the thief ship of the Zhen family.

Many big clans were forced onto the boat by the Zhen family in the same way, and they couldn't run away if they wanted to..."

Tan Ji began to give Jia Hui a brief introduction.

Jia Hui also kept nodding.

But as if he had been hit by something, Jia recalled the two of them.

"By the way, Tan Qianhu, do you have any information about these two so-called 'white shopkeepers' and 'stone shopkeepers'?"

Jia Hui poked his face with a fan, these relationships were too messy, and he was confused, so he forced himself to be sober.

"The stone shopkeeper and the white shopkeeper... The stone shopkeeper didn't have it, but the white shopkeeper seemed to have heard of it. ”

"What's going on?" Jia Hui leaned over.

"Because of the Holy Old Lady and the faithful prince, I didn't dig too deep.

Fortunately, the prince is still quite capable of fighting with his skills back then, and the personnel really can't get in.

What's more, the old lady Fengsheng is called 'my old man' by the emperor, and she has always forbidden us to sneak into the embroidered clothes and can't disturb her.

Because of this, we only knew that person was the intermediary between the Zhen family and the faithful prince, and there had never been anything abnormal, so the lowly predecessor put them aside and concentrated on how to send the secret agents from the Thousand Households into the Zhen family. Tan Ji explained quietly.

Jia Hui looked at him with a smile on his face.

Tan Ji knew that his careful thinking about throwing the pot had been discovered.

"It doesn't matter, after all, you've only been in Jinling for half a year, and it's already very good to be able to do this." Jia Hui took the folding fan and gently fanned the wind.

Tan Ji's heart fell at this time.

"Do you need to investigate again?"

"Naturally, you don't have to be afraid of the Zhen family, or the faithful king.

Your backer, from today on, will be my Jia someone, tell me what you find, okay, I still have something, you can go down and get busy first! ”

After speaking, Jia Hui picked up a stack of papers and waved it at Tan Ji, put it on the table and wrote, no longer paying attention to Tan Ji.

Tan Ji stood up, bowed deeply to Jia Hui, and then walked out of the festival hall without looking back.

I'm sorry.,It's almost eleven o'clock in the evening when I arrived at home.,Hurriedly wrote this chapter.,It's four thousand today.,Tomorrow two chapters of four thousand words to make up.
