The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

"It turned out to be an auction?" Lin Ruhai suddenly realized, "I still have a few original calligraphy and paintings of famous people from the previous dynasty here, and I can make a small contribution! I will also contact my friends and friends and let them participate in it. It is also a prosperous world in the literary world!"

Jia Lian stared at Lin Ruhai in a daze. He originally only planned to sell technology, engage in sales, and collect (cbdd) gold to raise funds by commercial means, but Lin Ruhai's method is absolutely feasible! All for disaster relief!

So Jia Lian immediately said: "Then ask my uncle to contact those celebrities as much as possible, not only calligraphy and painting, but also old clothes and used things! Let's hold a huge charity sale in Jinling!"

When Lin Ruhai heard the words, he did not delay, and reluctantly agreed, "flooding and disaster relief is exactly my duty!

Jia Lian said: "The sooner this happens, the better! The victims are hungry and can't wait."

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "I'm afraid that I'm not in danger alone. There is a person in my house, also surnamed Jia, with a single name and a Chinese character. He has also been a jinshi. ."

Jia Hua? Isn't it Jia Yucun? They are talking about serious things.

It was said that Qingwen was standing on the side, watching Jia Lian talking to them alone, not daring to move around for a while, and a beautiful girl came, Qingwen couldn't help looking at her.

Daiyu saw her and came up and pulled her, "Mother, who is this sister?"

Madam Jia smiled and said, "This is your second brother's girl, called Qingwen."

Daiyu took a closer look at her appearance, "It's a bit like me!"

Madam Jia looked at her, "She is quieter than you, and she is well-behaved and sensible."

Daiyu said coquettishly, "Mother, did you say that about your daughter? She held Qingwen's hand and asked how old she was and where she lived. Qingwen only shook her head, "I don't remember. "

It made Daiyu tearful.

Even Mrs. Jia hugged her, "Poor!"

Qingwen smiled and said: "Madam, girl, the slave servants are now serving our second master, which is better than before! You don't know, a few days ago, the second master took me to the Governor's house for dinner. Many vegetable slaves were seen for the first time, and they tasted good, but they were too cruel.

A plate of meat would kill dozens of pigs. "

Madam Jia said, "That's why your second master cares for you."

Daiyu asked, "Sister Qingwen, have you ever seen my cousin writing poems and lyrics when you are beside your cousin?"

Jia Lian also has a literary name.

But Qingwen said blankly: "What about writing poems and lyrics? The slaves have never seen Second Master do this.

Daiyu laughed and said, "Silly girl, haven't you seen your brother write?"

Qingwen tried to remember; "It seems that almost every night, the second master will receive a roll of things, and then he will be locked in the room by himself, never let people see if he is writing poetry or not, and the slaves will not know."

Gradually, when Hai crossed, everyone slept peacefully.

Chapter [*] Sure enough, on the second day, when Jia Lian summoned Yangzhou's prominent business leaders to talk about the business development and prosperity of the market, a big event happened in Taoyuan County, Huaibei!

The newly-appointed Governor of Nanhe Pan was temporarily stationed in the county office, and the guards were naturally strict.

There was a hungry and dizzy child who rushed in with his head on, and a guard threw the child out without thinking about it.

"This is also where you can come-?"

The child fell to the ground, and his head was suddenly broken, and the people who were bleeding blood all around gathered around.

Seeing that the people in front of the yamen are gathering more and more, the guards who are fierce on the outside and hard on the inside begin to drive away, "Get out!

I'm still here to catch you all in jail!"

They even took out knives to intimidate the people.

Yes, the anger accumulated in people's hearts finally broke out.

The same is for disaster relief. People in Huainan eat porridge that can stand up with chopsticks in the pot, and people in Huaibei drink clear porridge with no rice grains. Pull the mass grave outside the city to go.

Those victims who received food from Huainan and went to Huaibei to seek relatives and friends unconsciously preached what the south had done, making the already complaining hungry people full of hatred for the government.

"Folks, we are starving here, and those who are officials are drunk with the silver flowers that should belong to us, and they are drunk! What kind of world is this? We want them to give justice!"

A familiar voice, a familiar taste.Jia Lian sent out many hungry people and sent out these unstable factors.

The people below all echoed the momentum, "Yes, we want justice!"

Crowds are always prone to restless conformity.

Most people have crowded to the county office under the leadership of a few people.

Zhigu, who heard the news, was afraid that the incident would disturb Lord Hedu and the Imperial Commissioner, and he shouted loudly: "What are you making trouble? The court's disaster relief, not only are you not grateful to Dade, but you also gather a crowd to make trouble, what's the crime? Quick? Step back, otherwise, it will be regarded as a conspiracy! Kill without mercy"

The words of the magistrate's magistrate are quite lethal, and they stop the hot-headed people.

Unexpectedly, a hungry man squeezed up, "Master Qingtian, Master Qingtian!" After shouting a few words, the magistrate turned around, and the head was stabbed into his waist and abdomen.

"Folks, kill all these corrupt officials and take back our own things!"

Immediately, a few accomplices rushed out and slashed over the guards who couldn't be seen with their knives, "Everyone will come in with us, and each will be given [*] catties of rice, [*] taels of silver, and a lovely lady from the official family. Go, they won't let us live, we'll take it ourselves!"

After a few shouts, whether they wanted to or not, they were all wrapped up by the crowd and rushed into the county office together.

Pan Dachang, the governor of Nanhe, and Ma Yi, the imperial emissary in charge of disaster relief in Huaibei, fled in a hurry after hearing the news.

Soon, the rioters who occupied the yamen smashed open the warehouse to release food, and stopped the boats that were smuggling food for disaster relief at the ferry crossing.

When the news reached Yangzhou, it was already evening and Jia Lian was talking with Lin Ruhai about the daytime consultation. Lin Ruhai said with a smile, "My nephew's ability to open and close vertically and horizontally makes the old man amazed."

Jia Lian poured a few teas and moistened his hoarse throat, "This is also forced by the imperial court. There is no way. Now that the canal is open, I must replenish the grain as soon as possible, and I also need to buy grain from Cong Jiangnan. I want money. The emperor only gave me an imperial decree, and I have not seen a single grain of rice or a single penny. I am completely filling the pit of the court with my own money!"

Lin Ruhai advised: "Don't be in a hurry, nephew, as long as you have money, there will be more food in the south of the Yangtze River."

Jia Lian asked: "I heard that the disaster relief food from the north has arrived, why hasn't mine arrived yet? Is there someone trying to kill me? Lin Ruhai reprimanded: "The imperial court has all the dukes, who would play tricks on disaster relief? Mohus was suspicious. "

There are always bad people who harm me!

Laiwang rushed in and said, "Second Master, it's not good!"

Jia Lian is in a bad mood, Second Master, I'm fine!"

Laiwang said, "Second Master, the victims of Taoyuan County have rebelled!"

"What?" Jia Lian and Lin Ruhai stood up at the same time, "Is the news true?"

Laiwang said, "This is a summons from Huaian Lord Yang." Then he handed over an urgent letter to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian hurriedly opened it to check.

"There's still something wrong with this group of people!" Jia Lian sighed, "Fortunately, it's Huaibei. It's none of my business."

Lin Ruhai kindly reminded him, "My nephew, Taoyuan County belongs to Huaian Prefecture."

Jia Lian stared, "Uncle, are you right? In Huaibei!"

Qiuhuahua, as a Huaiyang soldier, prepares the way, and there are rioters under his command, doesn't he want to send troops to suppress? Jia Lian's whole body is not well.

If the imperial court had appointed him an official to supervise the censor at that time, and there was no military preparation, it would not be his turn!

Jia Lian deeply felt the maliciousness that came from the depths of the starry sky. The key point was that at the end of the letter, Yang Tongjuan, in a very uncertain tone, speculated that a group of smugglers were suspected of joining the thieves, and then they were irresponsible. It is inferred that some salt traders are involved in the base.

Yangzhou is the base of salt merchants.Some, one or several? Jia Lian couldn't sit still, and immediately told Jia Rang to leave forty people to protect the Lin family, and only brought ten people out of the city to call Huaian and Yangzhou camps.

At this time, having a guy in hand can make people feel at ease. "The disaster relief is not over, the money and food are not in place, and the rebels have appeared again, and it is natural to work hard!"

A group of horses hooves stepped on the bluestone slabs in the streets, and the drizzle wet Jia Lian's clothes, which were soaked in the cold.

When they rushed to a remote place, a dozen or so masked men suddenly appeared in front of them, each carrying a knife as the head and shouting at Jia Lian, "Kill him!"

Without further ado, Jia Lian came around, holding the reins, and turned the horse's head, only to find that someone was blocking her.

He took out the goose ling knife, "Who are you? Dare to rob the court officials here 2"

These masked men didn't answer, they only risked their lives to kill Jia Liantou. When this happened, Jia Rang shouted, "Brothers, protect the second master."

A group of domestic workers put Jia Lianhu in the middle and Jia Lian said anxiously: "Rush over, we can't let them be surrounded to death."

Ten horses rammed into the masked man, "Haha, but that's it!" Jia Lian was not the first time to kill someone, the steel knife was bloody, and the corners of his mouth were sweet.

They turned around again, and once again dissipated the masked man and saw that the time had passed. The masked man immediately retreated with the remnants of the defeated soldiers, and soon disappeared into the darkness. Jia Lian sneered. These people are only ordinary. When Jia Lian summoned the two camps of Moxia, fires erupted in Yangzhou city. Jia Lian gritted his teeth with hatred: "If I hurt me alone, I will make you regret being born in this world!"

Chapter [*] The Rare Salt Merchant Rebellion This is a long-planned rebellion.

It was raining heavily, and Jia Lian was so worried, he led the battalion Cong Guangchumen and rushed into Yangzhou City. The incident happened in a hurry. I didn’t know who rebelled. come.

Jia Lian glanced at the direction of the southern guard gate, there was chaos there, could it be that the general army of Huaiyang Town turned back?

After a while, when I read the Malay newspaper, there were a mob or a group of dozens of people looting and setting fire on the street, but no gang of thieves was seen.

So Jia Lian ordered, "Yangzhou battalion has a team of [*] people. If there is any resistance, the thieves will be killed! Huaian battalion will follow me to the south!"

After exiting Guangchumen Street, it is not far from Dongguan Street to the west, and then to the south is Zhenfu Street.

"Six Five Zero" But Jia led the people westward through the Dadongmen, crossed the streets and alleys, and returned to the house of the imperial inspector of salt on the courtyard street.

Dozens of people gathered outside the Lin's house, all of them with sharp knives in their hands, shouting and screaming in an attempt to break into the house.

Fortunately, Jia Lian pre-arranged the manpower, the door was closed, these thieves could not rush in, and they tried to set fire to the fire, so Jia Lian took the lead, and hundreds of officers and troops strangled them like chopping melons and vegetables.

When the door was called, Lin Ruhai followed Jia Lian, "Uncle, is there any damage to the head of the family?"

Lin Ruhai was very calm, "There are people like my nephew, those thugs can't get in!"

Only then did Jia Lian feel relieved, "If one of these people is let in, I will die, but I don't understand now, how did these people come?"

Lin Ruhai hesitated.

Jia Lian asked, "Does my uncle have something to say?"

Lin Ruhai said: "The salt merchants in Yangzhou City have a lot of salt workers in their homes."

"Are they crazy?" Jia Lian asked in disbelief: "If you don't make good money, you want to rebel?"

Lin Ruhai just sighed and Jia Lian asked unwillingly; ∠ "Uncle knows which family is the most suspicious?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head, "Don't talk nonsense about this."

Jia Lian didn't force her to ask, "Uncle, I'll leave fifty more people in the nursing home. After this turmoil is settled, let's consider this issue again."

After speaking, the others have already left the second door.

Jia Lian's delay caused the guard house to burst into flames.

When he arrived, the fire was soaring into the sky, and more than a hundred thieves were encircling and suppressing the soldiers.

Maybe after a few breaths, the remaining officers and soldiers will be gone.
