Chapter 156 Reveal the month
Jia Qiang frankly told the story of his grievances with the Jia family, including the cause of his parents' death that he learned from his uncle Liu Laoshi.
And those nasty things in Rong Ning's second mansion...
"That's all I've seen. There are many other things I've heard about, so I won't go into details."
Jia Qiang talked for a full hour before she stopped talking.
Lin Ruhai's expression did not change drastically as Jia Qiang expected, and her eyes remained calm.
Jia Qiang suddenly realized that, in fact, if you look through the history books, which dynasty, generation, or even royal family was not a place where evil and evil were harbored?
Lin Ruhai is knowledgeable about ancient and modern times, so how could he be shocked by those scandalous things?
However, Lin Ruhai finally sighed and said, "I don't know much about the Ning Mansion. In the Rong Mansion, I originally thought that the old lady..." shook his head. As the son-in-law of the Rong Mansion, he couldn't say much.
After a pause, Lin Ruhai asked Jia Qiang: "In your opinion, the Jia family will be defeated?"
Jia Qiang nodded and said: "If everyone in the Jia family is abiding by etiquette and law, with the legacy and heritage left by their ancestors, it is not impossible to be rich and powerful for another hundred years. However, I see that their arrogance and extravagance are getting stronger day by day.
The days are long, there is little in and much out, and coupled with the lax management of the house, the slaves are more powerful than their masters. As long as the master has a share, they will take half of it, and sometimes they can even take away most of it. If things go on like this, they will become a house.
Jinshan is not defeatable enough. What's more, the elders of the Jia family wantonly squander the ancestral shadow, incense and favors. This is what is really fatal."
Lin Ruhai said "Oh" and asked, "How can I say this?"
Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "They thought that the human relationships left by Xian Rongguo were endless, and they could use them however they wanted. But they didn't know that those precious human relationships would be lost once they are used. After all, the ancestors are no longer here. Guzu
In front of my father-in-law, I want to make a bold statement. The second uncle of Xifu used a lot of favors left by the Rongguo to push Prince Teng and Jia Yucun of the Wang family to the throne. It was really not worth the gain, especially the latter, who was really an ambitious and ungrateful person.
!”
Lin Ruhai, who had always had a calm expression, frowned deeply for the first time this time. Not only that, he even left his back and sat up, looked directly at Jia Qiang and said in a deep voice: "Brother Qiang, you mean, Yucun
?”
Jia Qiang nodded, and said roughly everything she could say, and finally said: "Whether it is true or not, my uncle only needs to send someone to the place where Jia Yu Village became an official for the first time to check whether there is any seal there.
As for the family, did the Feng family have a son-in-law from the Gusu Zhen family, and did they ever lose a granddaughter? Jia Yucun had received such a great favor from someone, but when the benefactor’s orphaned daughter was in trouble, he did it to such an extent, which shows his cold nature.”
Lin Ruhai's expression turned ugly, her brows never loosened, and she even refused to speak again.
Jia Yucun was different from the Jia family. He had personally chosen and considered people who he thought could be cultivated.
Over the years, I have also secretly investigated its official reputation, and the feedback received is very good, and its official reputation is quite good.
How could this be?
However, Jia Qiang even stated the surname and origin of the person she was grudged against so clearly. It was obvious that she was not talking nonsense. If it were true, it would be really hateful.
You know, in the will he wrote before his death, the person recommended besides Chen Rong was Jia Yucun.
If this person is so ungrateful and his humanity is so bad, he is really blind!!
In recommending Jia Yucun in the suicide note, I originally thought that when he passed away, it would not be safe for Daiyu to rely solely on her grandmother's family. Jia Yucun could be regarded as Daiyu's enlightenment teacher, and with the generous recommendation, he would always take care of him.
With Zhen Yinglian’s lessons learned, can we still count on Jia Yucun to protect Daiyu?
"My great-uncle..."
Jia Qiang saw Lin Ruhai's expression turned ugly and wanted to persuade him, but he shook his head and said lightly: "Brother Qiang, you did a good job on this matter. Jia Yucun was your Aunt Lin's first teacher.
Seeing that he was talented and knowledgeable, he recommended him to Brother Cunzhou and opened a path for him to help him become an official. I thought it would be a great help, but if this person really has this kind of humanity... Cunzhou and I would like to thank him
You report him, otherwise, you will be deceived by this person. Tomorrow I will send people to Yucheng to find out the matter. If it is true, I have my own thoughts. It is getting late, so you can go and rest. Tomorrow
, and I’m going to the Plum Garden for a banquet.”
When Jia Qiang heard this, she stood up and said, "Yes, my uncle."
…
Yangzhou North City, the Feng family mansion.
Feng Jian looked bitter and looked at Chen Rong who came in anger and said: "Brother Mian, the Feng family is really...unjust this time! Who would have thought that the status of a brother in the Jia family is higher than that of an elder in the official government.
More respect? How many people in this world have the fate of that little friend? The Feng family is really..."
Chen Rong had a gloomy face and was holding back his anger. He said in a deep voice: "No matter what, let's deal with the Qinghe Gang of Lao Shizi as soon as possible. All the unscrupulous people and mobs that can't be put on the table at the same time, you Feng family raises those things for you."
very?!"
Feng Jian was speechless, and his son Feng Cheng bowed and said: "Mr. Chen, it is not our Feng family's fault. The situation in Yangzhou Prefecture is really complicated. The Hui merchants support countless desperadoes. If the Feng family has no ability to protect itself,
, it is inevitable that someone will plot against you."
When Chen Rong heard this, he was furious and said sternly: "Then you set up traps to harm people and block roads to rob people, just to avoid being plotted by others? Your Feng family is willing to play like a dog with others for a mere three thousand taels of silver?"
Feng Cheng looked angry when he heard this, but he didn't dare to talk too much. Now he relied on Chen Rong, the censor, to take care of everything. After being scolded by Feng Jian, he bowed to apologize.
Chen Rong did not want to pay attention to him and only said to Feng Jian: "Brother Xixian, disband the Qinghe Gang immediately. Those who deserve to be sent to prison will be sent to prison, and those who have lives will pay for their lives. Your nephew will also be sent to death. At this time,
This is not the time to be kind to women!”
Feng Jian looked embarrassed when he heard this. Although Feng Ke was just a nephew, he grew up with Feng Ke's late father. Before his death, Feng Ke's father had entrusted Feng Ke to him.
Therefore, Feng Ke actually grew up in his home with his eldest son Feng Cheng.
It was Feng Cheng who recommended Feng Ke to take over the Qinghe Gang because Feng Ke was loyal to Feng Cheng.
If he were asked to personally send Feng Ke to prison or even to the guillotine, how could he bear it?
Seeing Feng Jian's hesitation, Chen Rong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xixian, I won't go into details anymore. The only thing I can do for you now is to put the person in Yanyuan Yamen Prison."
.Wherever you go, you can make up your own mind."
After that, he stood up and left.
Feng Jian, the head of the Feng family, was shocked when he heard this and tried to persuade him to stay, but Chen Rong was disappointed and didn't want to stay any longer, so he left alone.
The strange road to Yangzhou clearly gathers the best places in the south of the Yangtze River. As a result, the local clans can only survive by selling ice, while people from other places make a fortune guarding the salt fields.
Just from what happened today, we can see what it means to "do great things without cherishing one's life, and see small gains and forget one's righteousness"!
It's also strange. Haven't they seen the methods of the Yanyuan Yushi in these years?
Could it be that those calamities of family destruction have not happened to you, so you really don’t know the pain?
The eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou, except for the Huang family, have remained unchanged. They have been rotated three times in the past ten years. Which one has not been full of blood?
Did the Feng family think that if they ignored the salt affairs, the Yanyuan Yamen would have nothing to do with them?
Naive and childish!!
After Chen Rong left in disappointment, Feng Jian hesitated and said: "If not..."
Before he finished speaking, his eldest son Feng Cheng bowed and said: "Master, on the surface the Qinghe Gang can be disbanded, or a few scapegoats can be sent to prison. The left and right jailers are all our own people. But as Mr. Chen said,
Then our family has destroyed the Great Wall! I heard a while ago that even the coffin was prepared in the Yanyuan Yamen. The eyes of the salt merchants, big and small, were almost red, and they were looking forward to taking advantage of the six months after the death of the salt merchant.
Here, make a huge fortune. Sell one private salt, which is worth ten official salts! Which of their families has not recruited desperadoes? If our family really destroys the Qinghe Gang, disaster will come, and we will not even be able to protect ourselves.
He has no power at all. Besides, Kedi didn't even hurt the Jia family, so he has to go out with his life? How can there be such a tyrannical thing! Now the third uncle is working as a colleague in Jinling Yingtian Mansion, and my Feng family is not indifferent.
Even the country squires who have no foundation are supported by people in the officialdom."
Feng Jian nodded slowly when he heard this, but still worried: "Then if the Yanyuan Yamen gets angry..."
Feng Cheng smiled proudly and said: "If Mr. Chen is not the censor and is in charge of the Yanyuan Yamen, we should be more careful. But now that Mr. Lin is half-dead, could it be that Mr. Chen will do something cruel to our Feng family?"
hand?"
Feng Jian burst out laughing when he heard this, shook his head and said: "You are really good at scheming, even your father's best friend is involved in your scheming."
Feng Cheng bowed to apologize and said: "My son is helpless like this. You can't let an upright man like me care about such mundane matters."
Feng Jian nodded and said: "Get up, then I'll do as you say... By the way, I still have to do things to save face. In addition, the deed to the Sanwei Bookstore was also given away quickly. Don't be stingy.
"
Feng Cheng chuckled and said: "Don't worry, sir, nothing will go wrong again in this matter."
…
Yanyuan Yamen, West Road Courtyard guest room.
After the Jinsha Gang cleaned Li Fu and changed into new clothes, Li Jing entered.
She actually heard the conversation between Jia Qiang and Li Fu today from outside the door.
I thought about pushing the door open several times, but finally endured it.
Because Jia Qiang broke down the "silliness" in these Jianghu people and made it clear to her that if Li Fu couldn't get rid of his stupidity, he would never be reused in the future.
Otherwise, the property they built may not be enough for Li Fu to spread abroad.
It's not a bad thing to spread money out of charity, but it's just stupid to spread money around regardless of good or bad people.
Now it seems that the effect is not bad...
"Dad, how do you feel?"
After all, Li Fu had been lying on the bed for several years. Although he was saved by precious medicines and precious nourishing medicines, he could not stand up for a while.
Li Fu looked at Li Jing with complicated eyes. After the Jinsha Gang left, he asked in a low voice: "In the future, will the Jinsha Gang be sold to the government?"
Li Jing slowly sat down on a chair next to the bed, shook her head and said: "Our father said that he will not be an official. Dad, you are not in good health, so don't think about these things for now. It is important to take good care of yourself."
Hearing this, Li Fu was silent for a moment, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Jing'er, these years, my father's life has not been in vain. He has sacrificed a few heroes who can give up their lives. Since we owe people's lives now, we can only take them."
Life will come back. I'll tell you a few names and places, and you can write a few letters for me and send them out."
