The Founding of the Red Chamber

Tu Xiaosan cleaned up all Xie Dujun's wives, children and direct descendants. At this time, Miss Qiuhong didn't put on airs of chastity when she saw Tu Xiaosan. Yes, a man who lives as a general dies as a general's ghost."

At this time, Tu Xiaosan had no choice but to let her be Xie Dujun's ghost, and even take care of the two maids who were accompanied by Xie Dujun.

Tu Xiaosan didn't just kill people, now, the generals in Jinzhou City regard him as the leader, when the court's rations come down, Tu Xiaosan personally distributes the soldiers' dues to the soldiers.In the past, where these people were paid, half of them were paid, which is thankful.At the same time, Tu Xiaosan no longer withheld the rations of the soldiers. He dared not say how rich the military rations were, but they always kept people fed and clothed.

What he did immediately won the hearts of the people.

As for military officers, those who dissatisfied were slaughtered, and the remaining civil and military officials had the highest third rank.At the place of Lord Fu Yin, Tu Xiaosan has already ordered someone to give a heavy gift to silence Lord Fu Yin.What's more, Tu Xiaosan also killed the "bandit" who attacked Xie Du's army, and took the head of the bandit leader.

Tu Xiaosan is such a murderer, some of the military officers guessed something, and seeing Xie Dujun's end, they all kept silent.These people, Tu Xiaosan will not treat them badly, and said that they will report military merits according to the amount of effort they contributed when they were "reeling bandits".

Now, we are waiting for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to come and close the case.

In this way, before the officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice came to Jinzhou City to investigate, Tu Xiaosan had basically settled Jinzhou City.

Moreover, Tu Xiaosan also prepared two favorite things of officials: women and money.

As a result, Tu Xiaosan did not expect that among the officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice who came to investigate this time, there was one person whose surname was Xie!It is the same clan of Xie Dujun!

As soon as Tu Xiaosan heard this person's surname, after inquiring clearly from the imperial envoy of the Ministry of Punishment that this person was from a side branch of the Xie family, he somewhat understood that the matter of Xie Dujun might be difficult to deal with.

Moreover, the Ministry of Criminal Justice came here for the truth, so women and Yin Zi are afraid that things will be difficult.However, what Tu Xiaosan should be filial to is filial piety, and the leader, Mr. Chen, is a sensible person, and he directly told Tu Xiaosan in private, "General Xianwu, you are a sensible person. I am just a name. It sounds like a It’s like I’m the leader. I’ll give you a clear message and ask Xie Langzhong to nod his head, and the matter of your Jinzhou City is over.”

Tu Xiaosan repeatedly said yes, and it was a matter of accepting Mr. Chen's affairs, but he was complaining in his heart. This Mr. Xie also took the money that should be collected, and the woman who should have slept has also slept. It is quite a picture to investigate Xie Dujun's case. iron face.Moreover, the yamen servants and disobedient officials brought by the Ministry of Criminal Justice this time are all veterans.Tu Xiaosan felt that no amount of money and women would be able to buy off this Master Xie.

Tu Xiaosan really had no idea, so he led Xiao Niuzi and Tu Xiaosi to Hanzhou City overnight, and asked Brother Ah Jing to help him think of a way to bribe Xie Langzhong.Lin Jing was listening to lunch, when Xiao Niuzi came, he didn't even bother to take a sip of water, so let's talk about this important matter first.Lin Jing picked up a spoonful of white jade tofu with a spoon, quite puzzled, and said, "Third brother has done all the important things, is this still a big deal?"

Xiao Niuzi said, "This is the Lord of the Ministry of Justice, how is it the same?"

"What's the difference?" Lin Jing looked at Xiao Niuzi, "You look so smart, how stupid you are. It's nothing more than coercion and temptation."

Tu Xiaosi asked, "How to coerce, how to lure?"

Lin Jing put down the white jade tofu and let the two of them sit down, Fang said, "The best way is to be willing to collect the money, and let's spend money to eliminate disasters. If you meet someone who refuses to accept the benefits, just toast and refuse to eat There are many ways to drink fine wine. The softer way is to have a handle in our hands. For example, when he goes out, he kills someone with a bang, and he will be charged with the lawsuit immediately. Another example, when he returns to the room at night, the room There is a girl here, who is a young lady from a rich family, and she immediately has sex with her. Another example is that the secretary of the yamen door gave him a large amount of land and asked him, how did this land come from? Even if he was full of mouth, he couldn’t say no. Clear. If you really don’t know how to read, tell him to go back and forth.”

Tu Xiaosi hurriedly inquired, "Is there a way to tell this official to go back to the imperial capital?"

Xiao Niuzi tugged at his sleeve, wondering why Tu Xiaosi was stunned.Sure enough, Lin Jing raised his eyebrows, "I mean, tell him to go back to his mother's womb."

Apprentice Four: ...

Seeing that the two of them were really impatient to eat, Lin Jing stopped teasing them and said, "Okay, you should drink water to moisten your throat first. I have been thinking about Xie Dujun for a long time. If the surname Xie came here, the cause of Xie Dujun's death is naturally one of them, and there is another important matter that you probably didn't notice. This Mr. Xie came here for the account book."

"What account book?" Xiao Niuzi asked.

"The account book of the salt account." Lin Jing didn't tell the truth, and said to him, "his surname Xie can sell salt to my Hanzhou City. Think about it, there must be his business in other places. This is not a deal Small business, Xie Dujun was able to stay in Jinzhou City for such a long time, and even married a girl from the Zhu family, a wealthy family in Jinyichu City, and married the local forces. I am afraid that it is all for private salt business. These businesses will not It only went into his pocket."

Xiao Niuzi understood after a little thought, "I'm afraid he still has someone to respect."

"If it's just for filial piety, why would someone come to look for the account." Lin Jing said, "Go back and tell the third brother to pay attention. If Mr. Xie really came here for the salt account, this matter has a lot to do with it."

Xiao Niuzi has always been clever, so he asked, "If there is such an account, what should I do?"

Lin Jing said, "I have to see it to know."

Xiao Niuzi is smart and reliable, so he ate lunch at Lin Jing's place, brought some dry food, did not rest, and went back to Jinzhou City with his apprentice.

Lin Jing showed Tu Xiaosan how to conquer a city.

Due to the involvement of a lot in the matter of the salt account, even though there were people from the Criminal Department in Jinzhou City, Tu Xiaosan also used the name of the reeling bandit to keep Xiao Niuzi in the city, and took Tu Xiaosi by his side to let Tu Xiaosi guard the army , Tu Xiaosan quietly went to Hanzhou City.

Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan said, "If you want to truly control a city, what you have to get rid of is not only the former city lord, but also the related beneficiaries." He took out the salt account and a booklet, "The things in this booklet , are all salt merchants who have traded with Xie Dujun for many years, as well as the salt sales route of Xie Dujun. Now that Xie Dujun is dead, you have dealt with some of them, and some have not yet been dealt with. Except for Xie Dujun, you will If you enjoy the city of Jinzhou, those people who benefited from the Xiedu army before have to give up the benefits to your people. Your people will be loyal to you when they benefit from it."

Tu Xiaosan opened the booklet for a closer look, and said, "How many people have already taken refuge in me."

"Keep what you think you can keep, and give them back the benefits they got before. But you have to be careful about the soldiers under their hands." Lin Jing said, "Circle the ones that can be used."

Tu Xiaosan quickly circled a few names, Lin Jing said, "Third brother, you stay with me for two days, and I will ask someone to create a new account for you."

"Do what?"

Lin Jingdao, "The various forces in the city are easy to deal with. We are the ones with the sword, and we have the final say on everything. However, someone in the court has to speak. Besides, is it possible to give the surname Xie a good reputation? He can't think about it."

Lin Jing had quite a few useful people under his command, and in just two days, he created a salt account for Tu Xiaosan.Except for the few people surrounded by Tu Xiaosan, the others are all on this account. Moreover, Lin Jingpo created an account that Xie Dujun sold private salt to bandits. As for why bandits attacked Xie Dujun, that is I don't know.

Lin Jing's account is quite sophisticated, and even the ink on the paper is old.If Tu Xiaosan hadn't copied out the real account in advance, I'm afraid even Tu Xiaosan would have been fooled.

Lin Jing kept both accounts for Tu Xiaosan, and said to Tu Xiaosan, "Brother the real account, you take care of it yourself, this is a fake one, try to call Lujiang the road patrol censor. The censor's surname is Fang , he is quite a decent person, with this account in his hands, he will definitely take action."

Tu Xiaosan said, "Give it quietly?"

"Of course I gave it quietly." Lin Jing said, "As for that Langzhong surnamed Xie, he dared to search endlessly after taking the money and the woman. Give him something to look good, and tell him to be a good boy. Don't think that those who came out of the court will do nothing. Now, in Jinzhou City, the surname is no longer Xie."

Tu Xiaosan is actually very talented, just because he can support the private army behind Xie Dujun's back, and before Xie Dujun attacks him, he will deal with them first, and he can also copy out Xie Dujun's salt account .You know, it would not be surprising if Lin Jing did this, because Lin Jing grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he knows what the so-called "power" is all about.His education, his vision, Xie Dujun is incomparable.But Tu Xiaosan is different, Tu Xiaosan is completely half intuition, half heart, to come to this step.

However, in dealing with the officials of the DPRK and China, without Lin Jing's guidance, Tu Xiaosan's control of Jinzhou City would not have been so swift.

Jinzhou has already been taken by Tu Xiaosan, and Xie Langzhong dared to run amok in Jinzhou because he was born in the imperial capital of the Xie family.In Lin Jing's words, "I took it and went to sleep, and I still don't do anything. It's really bad." Although Tu Xiaosan could kill his stepbrother and his family when he was young, his awe of the court is engraved in his bones.If it weren't for Lin Jing's support, he would have dared to kill Xie Dujun, it would be because Xie Dujun had dared to kill him. Now, among Xie Langzhong, Tu Xiaosan took the initiative to attack the officials of the Ministry of Punishment for the first time.

After finishing the matter, Tu Xiaosan found out that the officials from the imperial capital were nothing more than that!

The female prostitute that Tu Xiaosan prepared for Xie Langzhong was quite outstanding, and Xie Langzhong slept very comfortably, until he got up one morning and found that he was cold.Yes, it's cold, and I don't even know how I died.

Tu Xiaosan would not come forward in person, he asked Xiao Niuzi to do this matter, and Xiao Niuzi is not very good at pretending to be a tiger, so he asked Xiao Niuzi to say, "It would be nice if You Fufacai was here, those two are natural dogs."

Just to do the job given by the third brother, Xiao Niuzi practiced his arrogant face for half a day in front of Tu Xiaosi, fearing that he was too gentle and not arrogant enough to restrain others.Tu Xiaosi said to him, "Go ahead, you are born with an arrogant face, is there anyone more arrogant than you?"

Xiao Niuzi led people to move the female prostitute's body out, Xie Langzhong's face was a little uncomfortable, but he preemptively said, "Since you have the heart to show filial piety, how can you show filial piety to someone who is seriously ill?"

Xiao Niuzi said indifferently, "Who is this filial piety? I don't know! I don't even know, it turns out that court officials can rape and kill good women when they are outside."

"You dare to slander me!" Xie Langzhong was furious!

Xiao Niuzi snorted coldly. Although he had been in the bandit for many years, Xiao Niuzi still carried a bit of arrogance and indifference from his background. He was extremely calm, and asked Xie Langzhong, "Otherwise, I will tell you to come in and find out."

Xie Langzhong choked suddenly, Xiao Niuzi curled the corners of his lips coldly, imitating Lin Jing's gesture of looking at people with his chin, glanced at Xie Langzhong, and said, "Mr. As I said, troublesome people come out of poor mountains and rivers. Mr. Xie took it, and if you want to treat us as easy to bully, then it would be wrong."

After saying this, Xiao Niuzi spread his hands, "Otherwise, look, Mr. Xie, your life is precious. Our lives are worthless, and it's not a big deal if someone dies."

Xie Langzhong was so angry that his face turned blue, Xiao Niuzi turned around and walked away proudly.

When the Xingbu and his party left Jinzhou City, Xie Langzhong also got a big red envelope from Xiao Niuzi. Xiao Niuzi smiled at him and said in his ear, "If your lord goes back and says something that shouldn't be said, That adult raped and killed people, but paper can't cover the fire."

One side is a big red envelope, and the other side is a life lawsuit. Mr. Xie spared his life after all.

After the punishment department left, Tu Xiaosan felt much more relaxed, and had time to visit Brother Ah Jing.Speaking of this incident, Tu Xiaosan was deeply moved, and said, "Even that girl later, thinking about it, it's too strange."

"You donated money to her family, and she did it voluntarily, that's all. There are so many nameless ghosts in this world." Lin Jing sighed for a while, seeing that the apprentice Xiaosan was not in high spirits, Lin Jing said, "Okay, this is the age Alright, there is a temple fair in Hanzhou City today, let's go out for a stroll."

Lin Jing has always been a lively person, and now that Tu Xiaosan has won Jinzhou City, he is just proud of the spring breeze, so he naturally accompanied him.

Most of the things at the temple fair were for Lin Jing to look at but not to buy, but Lin Jing bought them all for him as long as he looked at them a few more times.

When the two were resting at night, Tu Xiaosan put his arms around Lin Jing and said, "Ah Jing, you know, I don't dare to think about it now, it feels like a dream."

"By this time next year, I won't say that."

"When I was a child, I always hoped that I would be able to eat enough every day, and I would have some extra money to build a big house with blue bricks and gray tiles. I will be satisfied in my whole life. How dare I think about it now?" Tu Xiaosan said deeply. Sighing, "I'm thinking, in a few days, I'll send the matchmaker to talk to Xiaosi about marriage, and tell him to marry a wife earlier, so that he can spread the word."

Lin Jing said, "You are really a brother like a father."

"That's natural. That kid, if you have some spare money to eat flowers and wine, it's better to marry a virtuous man and put him in the house, and he can take care of him."

Lin Jing asked, "If you are the elder brother, even if you marry, you should marry first."

"Don't mention this." Tu Xiaosan only talked to Lin Jing about this matter, and Tu Xiaosan said, "You don't know, I feel uncomfortable when I smell the greasy powder smell on women. Ah Jing You see we are lying like this, you are clean and refreshed, I am fine. I feel annoyed when I smell the scented powder, besides, I have not seen a good woman. Xiao Si is different, Xiao Si sees a woman , like a cat meeting a fish."

Lin Jing said, "Just find someone who doesn't like to wear face powder." I don't want Tu Xiaosan to have this eccentricity.

"Where is it? Are there any women who don't wear face powder?"

Lin Jing thought about it, it is rare to see such a woman who does not wear face powder.

Lin Jing said, "You are really, this Hanzhou city is cold and dry, I usually use some moisturizing cream."

Tu Xiaosan leaned over and sniffed, "It's the fragrance of medicine."

Lin Jing pushed him away, "itch."

Tu Xiaosan asked Lin Jing, "Ah Jing, you are such a good-looking talent, why don't you get married? Could it be that Miss Xia is still in your heart?"

Lin Jing sighed, "Yun Chu has passed away, I have kept her filial piety for her for three years, and I have done my best."

"Then why are you? Just relying on your talent, the girls in this world are not chosen randomly."

"You also know that I grew up with my aunt since I was a child. In the palace, there were actually a few princes who were similar to me, but those girls never asked the princes to play with me. Do you know why not?" " Lin Jing asked and answered, "When I was born, my father died in battle. My mother was pregnant with me. When she heard about it, she became pregnant. At that time, my mother was [-] years old when she was pregnant with me. It was extremely difficult, and I left after giving birth. When I was a child, some people in the palace said that my fate was hard. Those women were afraid that I would overpower their prince, so they didn't let them play with me."

"What a bastard! It's just nonsense. Ever since I met you, Ah Jing, no matter how difficult it is, with your help, I have been smooth. Those unlucky guys, what do you do with them! Didn't you say Are they all dead? It shows that they themselves are not blessed." Tu Xiaosan had heard Lin Jing talk about Emperor De's princes before.

"Hey, I didn't really believe it at first, but thinking about it, what happened to Yunchu suddenly. My heart has really faded."

"Don't think about it. Miss Xia's matter, I can't blame you anyway." Tu Xiaosan said, "You said that my mother has been diligent and kind to others all her life, but in the end, she ended up being sunk in the pond. If you think like this, is it possible to say, did I beat my mother?"

Lin Jing hurriedly said, "What's your name?"

"I'm just using your words as an example." Tu Xiaosan said, "Ah Jing, you are my nobleman. Think about it, when I first met you, I was a bandit leader. If it wasn't because I knew you You, I can't go to Qufu Mansion. After I went to Qufu, I was able to buy a hundred households in Jinzhou City because you lent me money. Not to mention, I saw you in Hanzhou City. With you helping me out, They are in the mountains, and they rely on your help for food and clothing. Without you, I would not be where I am today. You have made me very prosperous."

Lin Jing smiled, "Perhaps you are more prosperous."

Tu Xiaosan asserted, "This is for sure!"

Tu Xiaosan smiled, "Come here, this time the third brother will make you happy." Holding Lin Jing in his arms, he asked him, "Is it warm?"

Lin Jing said, "It's warmer than a stove."

"That is!"

Tu Xiaosan looked at Lin Jing's delicate face, and said in a strange way, "That Qiu Hong, who is not as good-looking as Ah Jing with your little finger, guards against me like a thief, she really considers herself a peerless beauty."

Lin Jing asked, "Who is Qiuhong?"

"It's the broken shoes that Xie Dujun gave me."

Lin Jing was furious immediately, Tu Xiaosan even compared him with a broken shoe.If it wasn't for the winter night, Lin Jing was really afraid of the cold, and he would still be glowing with Xiaosan's humanoid heater, so he would have to be driven out naked.

Just like that, Tu Xiaosan also paid for half the night. Afterwards, he spent ten days of hard work to pay Lin Jing sadly. Then, nine out of ten sentences praised Lin Jing for being "manly" "The temperament is dusty" and the "talent is like a fairy", Lin Jing calmed down, reluctantly forgave Tu Xiaosan, and warned him viciously, "Besides, if you talk about these things that are out of tune, rinse your mouth with soap and water."

Tu Xiaosan swears and swears and agrees.

Lin Jing just smiled and said, "Forget it this time."

When Tu Xiaosan saw him show his face, he was also happy, thinking that Ah Jing's temperament was really likable, and he could come up with any idea of ​​rinsing his mouth with soapy water.Well, only Tu Xiaosan found Lin Jing's narrow-mindedness to be liked.
