Taking advantage of the chaos, he slipped out of the emperor's bedroom, Yanguang Temple.

Chen Si called a small chamberlain and followed him to the place where the board was played.

It's not that he wants to be beaten, it's mainly that his brothers were beaten, so he slipped away, which is very bad and easy to estrange.

Although they are far enough apart now.

A huge set of honor guards hurriedly rushed towards him, looked at it bravely, and when he saw the chariot representing the concubine, he dodged his position with the little eunuch, stood on the road, and bowed.

It stands to reason that the owner of the chariot should have stopped bowing back when he saw a prince saluting him.

But the owner of this honor guard obviously had no such intentions, but ignored the prince who was saluting him, and hurried towards the West Garden.

It was only when he passed by the prince that he seemed to feel a pair of angry eyes sweep over his body.

After the guard of honor walked away, Yiyong straightened up.

"That's Concubine Zhen's guard of honor, right?"

Yi Yong looked at the honor guard in the distance and said.

"The king's good eyesight is Concubine Zhen's guard of honor."

The little eunuch behind him bowed and replied.

"Got it, let's go."

"Yes."

The Faithful King is abolished, and now Concubine Zhen's only reliance is the Zhen family. And the Zhen family just relied on the old lady, and when the old lady left, the Zhen family was just an ordinary big family in the south of the Yangtze River.

They weren't enough to face it up to themselves.

Anyway, let her stare at herself a few times and there won't be a piece of meat, let's stare at it!

。。。。。。

"Hahaha, Brother Lu, little brother respects you a bowl! Dry! ”

"!"

On the bank of the Qinhuai River, in a large box on the third floor of a restaurant.

Jia Hui is receiving Ruda from afar.

Knowing that Luda was not a woman, Jia Hui specially arranged the banquet in the most elegant restaurant on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and did not call a sister.

just invited a special evaluation team to play at the banquet to come over, speaking Wu Nong's soft language, telling the story of Du Shi Niang.

"Slender and merry Du Shi Niang, self-pity falls in Pingkang.

She is a falling flower and an ownerless dancer with the wind, flying and floating with tears for a few lines. ”

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

The stomach is full, and now it's time to drink and talk

Jia Hui took the initiative to persuade the wine, but Luda didn't seem to be in high spirits, as if he was just giving himself face.

Seeing this, Jia Hui put down the wine bowl.

"Brother seems to be today... I'm not in a lot of interest. ”

Seeing Jia Hui put down the wine bowl, Luda sighed, drank the wine in the bowl with his head raised and put it on the table.

"Alas, brother, you say, isn't it a prosperous time now? How is it that so many people are displaced and forced into slavery? ”

After Luda finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of squirrel cinnamon fish meat into his stomach, as if he wanted to let the sweetness wash away the bitterness in his heart.

"Brother, what did you encounter?"

Jia Hui lowered her head, scooped a spoonful of crab roe tofu and ate it into her mouth.

"Brother, you also know, my brother only killed a birdman who whipped a servant in the street a few days ago."

"Well, I know, it's not just beating people to death, it's smashing people into two pieces with a steel rod!"

One of the people who was playing and singing suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he played harder and harder.

Jia Hui glanced at the man and said nothing.

"That brother knows that this is not the first time that my brother has encountered it, since he entered the Jiangnan territory, almost everywhere he goes, he can encounter this kind of torture and killing of servants.

At first, my brother thought that the servants had stolen something from the master's house, but he didn't care.

But who knew that the man was just for the pleasure of whipping the slaves! It's worth it! After inquiring around, and knowing where the man lived, my brother climbed over the wall that night, and cut off the head of the lord's house, and hung it at the city gate! ”

"Hey, it turns out that the case of the Huo family in Huainan was done by you, brother! I wonder who is so good! ”

Ruda also smiled and did not speak.

Jump!

Wrong note!

The artist stayed in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to play anymore, he didn't dare to move, he just sat on the chair and shivered.

What a joke! I've met two bandits!

Jia Hui looked coldly at the commentator who stopped playing and singing.

Seeing my brother's good mood, I was disturbed by the bad sound!

"Get out of here! This Raushzi can't play the pipa well, what kind of art is it to sell! ”

Jia Hui waved his hand at the commentator with a disgusted expression, and the person was relieved, holding his pipa, and fled outside the box.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Hehe, he's afraid that he thinks our brothers are bandits who have gone down the mountain! Do you want to gamble? ”

Jia Hui opened the folding fan and gently fanned it on his chest.

"Oh? What to bet on? ”

Ruda came interested.

"I guess this person will definitely go and tell the shopkeeper when he goes downstairs that there are two bandits in the box on the third floor!

I bet the shopkeeper will report to the police to arrest us. ”

"Catch us? Why? ”

"Hehe, because the 50,000 taels of the Huainan Huo family's bounty is still hanging at the yamen! The words that my brother just said made sure to let the shopkeeper take a risk!

Think about it, how much money does a shopkeeper earn a year? Haven't they all been taken by the Lord's family?

But this reward is different, in case my brother is really the murderer of the Huo family, how can he get more than 30,000 taels of 50,000 taels for all kinds of dots, right?

This money can be sold for thousands of acres of fine paddy fields around Jinling City! If the shopkeeper still wants to do business, this money is also his confidence! ”

Jia Hui fanned the fan, picked up the teacup in his right hand and took a sip.

"Hey, then my brother won't bet on the shopkeeper!"

"Oh? Is there a reason for my brother? ”

Jia Hui leaned forward and made a deferential gesture.

"This restaurant relies on credibility to eat, why did you build this box? Isn't it so that you can have a place where you can talk without being disturbed?

If even the identity of the patron of the box on the third floor can be shaken out, then who will come here in the future? ”

"Naturally, the master will not allow it to be said, but now it is the shopkeeper who is in charge! Wouldn't he use the money to buy a house and change his place of origin? Isn't that more comfortable than being a slave to others? ”

Jia Hui put down the teacup and retorted towards Luda.

"But the Lord's family won't be vegetarians! I will definitely send someone to make this shopkeeper to maintain the reputation of his restaurant.

By the way, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver! With these tens of thousands of taels, the master will definitely do it! ”

Speaking of this, Ruda rarely showed a look of frustration.

"It's like what my brother met in Luzhou. The shopkeeper caught a wanted criminal and got a reward of 9,000 taels, and the prefect also let the master's family release Liang, and the shopkeeper was happy and something!

But within three days, the shopkeeper was found dead in the house, stabbed four times in the back, and hung from the beam of the house by the neck.

The prefect came to see it, and it was said that he had hanged himself! This is clearly the money received from the master's family! ”

Ruda angrily hammered on the table, and suddenly the vegetable soup splashed and scattered all over the ground.

"Later, the elder brother slipped into the courtyard of the family in the middle of the night, and just happened to see the family of the master gathered there to see the reward stolen from the shopkeeper!"

"Wait, how does my brother know that those are bounties?"

Jia Hui was a little puzzled.

"Oh, the box containing the silver and the box of silver that the shopkeeper brought out from the government office are the same, and even the paint is falling in one place, this must be a box!"

"That's right, okay. And then? ”

"My brother pulled out a knife and jumped into the lobby, and the white knife went in and the red knife came out! Send that family on the road neatly! After killing my brother, I jumped over the wall and ran away! ”

Ruda proudly showed off.

"This ......"

Jia Hui didn't know what to say, so he could only give him a thumbs up.

"It turns out that the Huang family extermination case in Luzhou was also done by my brother..."

"Hehe, the Sprinkle family is called doing the right thing for heaven!"

Jia Hui and Luda smiled when they met, picked up the wine bowl and touched it, and did it all.

"After talking for a long time, does my brother still want to gamble?"

"Bet! Brother Hui gambles that the shopkeeper will call someone to come, right? Then the brother bet that the shopkeeper would not come! ”

Ruda leaned his head over as well.

"Cheng, the loser will be given ten taels of silver!"

"It's a deal!"

Jia Hui stretched out his right hand and swore with Luda that the bet was completed.

The two brothers laughed again, and took another drink.

Putting down the bowl again, Ruda was silent.

Jia Hui picked up the chopsticks again, scooped up a dried chopstick, put it on the rice, added another spoonful of soup, mixed it and ate it.

"Brother, you say, in the Jiangnan of Great Qi, why are there so many lords who insult the servants? My brother can be regarded as having seen a lot of people from south to north, but he has never seen a place like Jiangnan that bullies people like this! ”

Ruda raised his head and looked directly at Jia Hui's face with a serious face.

Jia Hui finished the last bite of food, put the bowl back on the table, picked up a towel and wiped his mouth, raised his eyes and looked at Ruda.

"Probably because they have been used to being masters for a long time. I don't think of my servants as if they were like myself..."

Jia Hui put down the towel in his hand and said to Luda.

"How long have you been a master?"

Ruda seemed to understand something.

"Yes, that's one of my big ones... Stain it..."

"What do you mean by that?" Ruda asked.

Jia Hui thought for a while,

"This starts with the founding of the country. Brother, you should also know how fast Taizu conquered the world, right? ”

"Seven years."

"Yes, seven years, it's too fast, it's good and bad. The advantage is that some places are descending from the wind, such as this Jiangnan. It can be regarded as a very early surrender to the boundary.

Mainly for the sake of the face of my Jinling Jia family and the Shi family, with our two families taking care of them, their children also have a place to be famous. At that time, there was an urgent need for manpower, and Taizu didn't care so much, and hired as many people as he could.

In this way, in the early years of the Great Qi Dynasty, one of the largest mountains in officialdom, the Jiangnan Department was born. ”

"In other words, in fact, the big families in Jiangnan have basically survived the troubled times unscathed?" Ruda was a little shocked, his hometown, there was no wealthy family of the previous dynasty for a long time, and he heard that he had died in the early years of the founding of the country.

"Yes, Jiangnan at that time really brought too many things to Daqi. Money, food, talents, people, and even Jinling has a military battle bureau that is not damaged!

To put it mildly, if there was no Jiangnan back then, Daqi might not be able to..."Jia Hui still didn't say it all.

Ruda fell silent.

"Although it took Taizu only seven years to conquer the world, the actual troubled times began with the Henan Uprising that year, until my great-grandfather Rongzhong Wugong Keding Chang'an extinguished the Liang and ended the troubled times, which lasted for twelve years!"

Jia Hui drank another cup of tea.

"Probably because of the threat of the Northern Yuan, the tragedy of this troubled era is far greater than that of the previous generation, and everyone wants to end the troubled times as soon as possible, so the intensity of the war is really far greater than now.

Let's take the decisive battle between my great-ancestor and Liangting's Tongguan.

The total number of troops invested by both sides is as high as 900,000, and the actual soldiers are 90!

Daqi decided to divide into three ways to extinguish the cool, and all the way to the younger brother of the old lady Shi to set off from Taiyuan and cross the Yellow River through Longmen into the pass.

All the way is my Jia family's Ningzhuang Sugong is leading the army to attack Wuguan.

My great-grandfather led his troops and horses to confront the main force of the Liang army at Tongguan.

The total number of soldiers and horses on the three routes is 500,000. The headquarters is 300,000, and the partial division receives 100,000 each.

The original intention was to hold back the last main force of the Liang army, as long as any partial division could attack Guanzhong, then we would win. ”

Jia Hui stopped, Luda was fascinated by what he was listening to, and hurriedly picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jia Hui.

Jia Hui took a few sips of tea and nodded.

"The plan was good, but when it came to implementation, something went wrong.

In the troubled times, the Jin division was eighteen years old when he hit Baibi City, and now known as the 'Flower General' Wei Ming's heavy cavalry chisel formation, the main general Shi Yuanshan abandoned the army and fled, and finally surrendered to Wei Ming. 100,000 partial divisions were wiped out.

The whole battle almost collapsed because of him, and the old lady Shi, who was supposed to be the first merit of Dingqi like Xiao He, was implicated by him in this way, and finally got the title of marquis.

At the same time, the South Road Division was also blocked, and was nailed to Wuguan by 40,000 Liang troops.

There was no way, it was another nearly 100,000 Liang army assembled in the direction of Tongguan, and my great-grandfather immediately made a decision to storm Tongguan!

300,000 Qi troops and nearly 400,000 Liang troops crowded in the narrow place of Tongguan, a total of 150 cannons bombarded, you came and I fought for a full seven days, until the eighth day, our army from Niutou Plateau with equipment uphill Raodao, through the twelve cities, this is to conquer Tongguan...

According to post-war statistics, in this decisive battle, the two armies killed nearly 300,000 people.

For the Liang army, behind them is the Guanzhong Plain, and it is their wives and children, who must be defended to the death.

For my Qi army, that was the capital of the Dog Emperor, and the veterans at that time were full of monstrous hatred for Emperor Liang, and fought for nearly 170,000 lives to break through Tongguan and destroy Qianliang. ”

Jia Hui put down the teacup that had been drunk dry.

In fact, the intensity of the decisive battle of Tongguan can only be regarded as the top three in that troubled era.

You can understand what the entire Central Plains has become, right?

At this time, Jiangnan has become the most important money bag of the whole country, and any kind of policy that will have an impact on Jiangnan's taxation will not be implemented.

Not to mention cleaning up the Jiangnan family. The industries in their hands are an important part of the entire Jiangnan tax revenue, not to mention how much the output of these industries will play a role in the post-war recovery.

Even so, it wasn't until twenty years ago that the people of our dynasty could be restored to the level before the troubled times..."

"This is the main reason why Taizu didn't make a move on the Jiangnan family."

Jia Hui looked at Luda, who bowed his head and was silent, and said.

Actually, more importantly, the backers of the Jiangnan family at that time were my Jia family and Shi family...

Jia Hui didn't tell Ruda about this.

There was silence in the box.

Ruda picked up the wine bowl again and drained the wine by himself.

"That..."

"My lord, this is it, this is the house! My lord, there are two bandits in this box, and they themselves said that the Huo family and the Huang family's case were done by them! ”

What's that, old man, I'm going to have a myopia surgery tomorrow, maybe I have to take a two or three days off, everyone rest assured, after recovery, I will definitely have two shifts for three consecutive days!

Thank you for your bearings!
