Lin Mansion, Arrow Road.

Daiyu was rarely wearing a narrow-sleeved dress with a strap on the cuffs, holding a small bow, trembling and pulling the string, aiming at the arrow target twenty paces away.

The maids and ladies standing around them didn't dare to breathe, for fear of affecting the eldest girl's accuracy.

Daiyu opened her left eye for a while, and opened her right eye for a while, and she looked at it for a long time, but she didn't make up her mind to let go of the strings.

It wasn't until her arms were almost sore that Daiyu made up her mind, and while closing her eyes, she released the bowstring she was pulling.

Tong!

"Hit, hit! The big girl is hit! ”

The maids began to cheer, and Daiyu, who had her eyes closed, cautiously opened her eyes and looked at the arrow target twenty paces away, on which a small arrow was inserted.

"Hit, big brother Hun, look at it!"

Rao is usually quiet Daiyu couldn't help but jump up, and looked at her eldest cousin Jia Hui standing behind her with a look of "praise me".

"Well, it's pretty good, one ring, not bad, at least on target, right!" Jia Hui looked at Daiyu perfunctorily and said.

"I've just hit a ring.,This seems to be my sister's..." When Daiyu heard Jia Hui so perfunctory, she also began to be angry.

It's strange to say, the five brothers and one cousin in the Lin Mansion, Daiyu just didn't look for the gentle and elegant Jia Zhu, didn't look for Jia Lian, Jia Rong and the Shi family brothers who relied on her for everything, but just found Jia Hui, who was always angry with her, to play with.

This is probably the niece's closeness to her uncle!

"Come, sister, look! Archery, don't hesitate, the more hesitant you are, the more inaccurate the shooting, and you don't need to be a condor archer or a sound shooter, you don't need to be so accurate. It's just a matter of having fun, hitting the target, and getting as close to the bullseye as possible. Roughly aim well, believe in yourself, and just shoot out. ”

Jia Hui raised his one-stone bow spear thrower, leaned forward, and Daiyu hurriedly ran to Jia Hui's right side and watched Jia Hui's movements carefully.

I saw Jia Hui hooking the bowstring with his thumb and buckling it in the string groove of the wrench. Then press the nail part of the thumb with your index finger, and use both fingers to exert force, and in an instant, the bow is like a full moon.

Just swept the position of the arrow target, raised it slightly, the bow was like a thunderbolt, and a carved arrow that could be called a short spear was thrown out by a powerful big bow, and it hit the bull's-eye a hundred steps away, and the whole target instantly cracked and fell to the ground.

Daiyu opened her small mouth and looked at her eldest cousin who still maintained the appearance of loosening the bowstring like a fairy, and her eyes slowly turned into worship.

"How's that, awesome!"

"In my opinion, it's not that good!" Daiyu blinked and tilted her head to look at Jia Hui.

"Huh? What is it called? If you don't say a meridian today..." Jia Hui raised her eyebrows and looked at Daiyu.

"Oh, what if you can't tell?" Daiyu still looked at the person in front of her with a provocative expression.

"It's nothing, I can't do anything about it anyway. But, hang you at the front yard to show the public, I think I did it. ”

As soon as Jia Hui's words fell, Daiyu looked at her cousin in front of her with a frightened expression, and the admiration that rose in her heart once again dissipated without a trace.

"Big brother knows how to tease me! You also said that this archery art is divided by the number of targets hit by the arrows on the target! This target has been damaged by you, and the arrows on it don't know where to fly, isn't it not good! Daiyu replied angrily.

"Hahaha, it's weird, at a glance, you can tell that it is our Rongguo Mansion Fourth Aunt Min who crawled out of the belly, and her thinking is different from ordinary people. Come on, let my cousin lift your skull, but you need to have a good empty water! ”

After speaking, Jia Hui made a gesture to grab Daiyu's little head with two baotou, Daiyu hurriedly dodged, and began to chase me around the maid and a few arrow targets, the whole arrow path was filled with the cheerful laughter of the little lady, let him hide in the corner, peeking at his nephew... Jia Min, who was playing with the brother and sister, also laughed with relief.

It's really good, since the nephews of my mother's family came, my daughter has also swept away the inexplicable sadness of the past and become lively and cheerful.

In Jia Min's eyes, the so-called daughters who don't go out of the door are very boring, but her mother just wants to educate herself like this, and she also suffers in the resistance.

When I gave birth to a daughter, I didn't want to kill her nature, but my daughter was born with a delicate mind and a sad autumn, so I had to try my best to make my daughter change a little more cheerful, even if it was just a little bit.

is very sad, but like his own daughter, he has been depressed and hurt even more!

However, this kid actually said that he was eccentric?

Tsk······

。。。。。。

The next day, the former site of Jiangbei Daying.

Naturally, you can't wear it so casually in the barracks, but you wear a gauze robe with no middle coat inside, and then a pair of thin cotton and linen bloomers, plus a pair of mesh boots.

Four pots of ice cubes were placed around Jia Hui's case, which were delivered by the dignitaries who went to the banquet two days ago after knowing that the Metropolitan Governor was afraid of the heat.

For reasons such as not needing to use it in vain, as well as appeasing the civil and military officials, Jia Hui accepted it.

However, I didn't take all the orders, only the ice cubes, and all the other things were returned.

A certain family is not here to do you, so you don't need to send me something, you can't do it.

But for your peace of mind, just put away some ice.

In this way, there are ice cubes in the barracks that can be used for a long time for the time being.

The coolness brought by the ice cubes made Jia Hui recover from the irritable and irritable state that had become due to the heat, and he had been sitting on the desk for more than an hour.

News came from Jinling that Zijinwei's barracks had been almost repaired, and in another three or four days, the large army could be transferred there.

There are often rumors on Tan Ji's side that he has mastered the handle of whom. It's that the investigation of the matter about the stone shopkeeper and the white shopkeeper is very slow, as if there is a force dealing with them for them, and they rarely show up, and Xiuyi's investigation of them is very slow.

But in general, the vast majority of things are moving in their favor.

"Is there a force helping them deal with the beginning?" Jia Hui frowned, looking at the information given by Tan Ji in his hand.

"Back to the Duke, it is strange to say that these two men are elusive, and it is difficult for the brethren to find their whereabouts, and it was not until a few days ago that we caught a clue." Tan Ji stood at the bottom of the hall and replied respectfully.

"Tell me." Jia Hui looked up at the beams of the house, as if thinking about something.

"One of the chief flag officers reported that when they were following the white shopkeeper, they happened to meet a group of people running over and talking to the white shopkeeper, and then they left, and he took some of them with him.

When he followed him to a place about seventy miles away from Jinling, he came out of the woods, and there was an open field in front of him, and there was no shelter, and the chief flag officer did not dare to startle the snake, so he did not continue to pursue..."

"It's okay, after all, now we are leading the rectification of the Jiangnan camp, and the rest are secondary, so for those two shopkeepers, let's focus on monitoring and investigation."

"Yes!" Tan Ji saluted and was about to leave.

"Wait, one more thing! I remember to send someone to write down the daily conversations of the salt merchants, and I must keep an eye on their movements. ”

"Yes, I understand!"

After speaking, Tan Ji stood in place and waited for a while, until Jia Hui clapped his hands and let him leave, then Tan Ji relieved himself and walked out of the barracks.

After hearing Tan Ji walk away, Jia Hui stood up and stretched his tired waist.

The paperwork is really exhausting...

After processing the remaining paperwork, Jia Hui also finished today's work, it was still early, and moved a few pots of half-melted ice cubes to the side of the bed, Jia Hui lay on the couch, and looked at the beam with empty eyes.

The morning before yesterday, his aunt Jia Min brought him a surprise.

I have to have another concubine room!

originally wanted to guide Xue Pan to enter the army for development, it is naturally a good thing to be able to become a talent, and as his backer, I will try my best to help him pave the way. If he is a mediocre talent, he will not give up on him, so he should be regarded as raising an idler in the army.

It is only right to hold the Xue family in your hands.

But who would have thought that the Xue family had his own ideas.

Marriage.

Although it is said to be a concubine, including Jia Hui himself, he will not really treat Xue Baochai as a concubine, at least he is a noble concubine on the family tree.

After all, she is an old relative for more than 100 years, and Xue Baochai is still standing behind the Xue family and her foreign family, the Wang family, plus the care of Jia Wang's aunt who married into the Jia family, she will definitely not be wronged, and Jia Hui herself can't throw a face at her.

Okay, let's do it like this, Xue Baochai is still too young, so he will have to be raised in the Xue family for a few years before he is sent home.

。。。。。。

Some people rejoice, some people are sad.

Jia Hui was very happy, but the salt merchants were very uncomfortable.

originally thought that Jia Hui, as the governor of the capital, would talk about some rules and fight with them according to the established rules, at least to maintain a superficial harmony.

But who would have thought that the scene that happened at his birthday banquet a few days ago completely shattered their illusions.

Jia Hui didn't want to talk to them about the rules.

The almost torn questioning really scared them, if they played according to the rules of the court, they could also deal with Jia Hui through the Faithful Party, although they would also lose, but they would also retain some of their interests.

There is no way, Jia Hui's level is too high, no matter what, they can't fight him, even their party leader is loyal to the prince himself, and he may not be able to blow up in front of Jia Hui.

But things often go for the worst, and now, they have vaguely guessed in their hearts that the emperor has noticed the collusion of the prince's soldiers and businessmen, and is ready to punish him.

The Jiangnan camp is an important force for the Great Qi to suppress the southern country, and even if it is rectified, it will only let Jia Hui deal with the middle and high-level levels. Since this is the case, then these Yangzhou salt merchants, who are dispensable and can be replaced at any time, have become victims of this beating.

The imperial court wants to crush them to death with the general momentum of Huanghuang, and the salt merchants in Yangzhou are going to die!

However, it is not without a glimmer of life, a few days ago, Jia Hui had almost made it clear that he would not kill them all, but would support a group of "dogs" who listened to the words of the imperial court.

At this moment, many salt merchants seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw, and began to frantically separate from before, and even the eyeliners of the Bai family at the gate of the salt patrol imperial history also saw many familiar salt merchant owners sneakily in and out.

Yangzhou salt merchants were completely split because of Jia Hui's words.

"Master, the head of the Xie family also said that he was sick, and he couldn't come..."

In the large elegant room full of flowers, a servant of the Bai family said in front of President Bai.

"Heh, when I first took refuge in the prince, I was so positive, but when it was not good, I ran over one by one to lick his Jia Hui's stinky feet, villain!" The head of the Gao family shouted angrily.

The salt merchants present also stood up one after another, scolding in the direction of the Xie family.

Chairman Bai looked at the remaining less than half of the salt merchants with an indifferent expression, and felt a little funny in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that you were too deeply involved with the Jiangnan camp and the prince, it is estimated that you would be faster than them!

It is only now that Chairman Bai can see that this group of wall grasses are smart people.

Did you make money? Earned.

Did you catch up with the officials of the imperial court? Hitched up.

Did you send a dead soldier to intercept and kill Lin Ruhai? That's for sure, that's the vote.

The money that can be made is only a sip of soup compared to everyone here. The officials who catch up are also some potential but low-grade petty officials, and they still use the way of marrying relatives, rather than offering bribes.

Even when they sent people to intercept and kill, they were all standing on the edge as passers-by, and even many of them went back unharmed.

At the time, I laughed at people for being cowardly, and they couldn't catch up with the heat when they ate, but now that I look at it, it turns out that I am the clown!

And the group of cowards who were despised by themselves suddenly became victims who could only be coerced by the group and forced to join the crowd.

"Don't make any noise!" President Bai slapped the table, and the salt merchants present immediately quieted down and sat back in their seats in an orderly manner.

Now they are much more well-behaved and obedient than before, no way, they have always only fought with the wind, and now they are in a headwind, and it is when they need the backbone, President Bai has become their last hope.

Seeing that the salt merchants were so obedient, Chairman Bai couldn't laugh anymore.

He believes that they will carry out everything they do carefully and without compromise. But in this way, once the dust settles, this group of people will definitely push themselves out, saying that they have coerced them to do it, so as to reduce their punishment in a trivial way, and they are their scapegoats.

"I've already talked to Shopkeeper Shi, and Shopkeeper Shi said that he has sent someone to contact the prince, and there will be news in a few days, I'll wait for a while!"

"Wait? President, the knives are on your neck! ”

"Then wait! Jia Hui doesn't want to talk to us about the rules, then we are a fart in front of him!

Only the prince is qualified to touch Jia Hui, without waiting for the prince's instructions, is it not fast enough to act without permission! ”

After President Bai finished scolding, he angrily picked up the teacup and poured it.

"But will Jia Hui give us time?" The head of the Gao family asked worriedly.

"There must be, don't forget, Jia Hui's target is not us, but the prince! Besides, if the prince doesn't protect us, who will worship him in the future? ”

"That is to say, when the time comes, it will be the fighting method of the two big men, maybe there won't be so much time to take care of us?" A salt merchant said excitedly as if he had grasped something.

But not a single salt merchant around him echoed him.

"Stupid! Are you dead when Lin Ruhai dies? President Bai scolded loudly. This kind of fluke is the most unacceptable.

"So, why don't you let the salt farmers below make trouble?" Another head poked his head out.

"Are you here to waste food with the more than 3,000 cavalry you brought by Jia Hui? He pushed us so hard, didn't he want us to be overwhelmed, and finally choose to bewitch the salt households to make trouble? If that's the case, he'll definitely turn us into rebels!

If it is just collusion with officers and soldiers, then the family property will be confiscated, and we will make a decision by ourselves.

But if he is beaten as a thief, he will destroy the three clans! ”

After President Bai finished speaking, his body collapsed on the chair all of a sudden, and he slapped his forehead with regret on his face.

Why was I so active in hanging out with the faithful king's guys!
