Jia She, the local tyrant of the Red Chamber

The long river is dark, the dawn is falling, the rooster is crowing and the dawn is breaking, and the world is filled with fireworks.The whole pier gradually came alive.Jia Amnesty was still arguing with Duke Zhou when he was suddenly awakened by shouts.

"Master, Master!" He Xi shouted anxiously outside, "Wake up."

Jia Amnesty was very annoyed, but he had already woken up, and scolded: "What are you arguing about?"

He doesn't like to be served when he sleeps, so he slowly got up, put on a cloak and opened the door with sleepy eyes: "Is there a hole in the sky?"

He Xi said: "Master, look at this. This morning, the third master was clamoring to eat rice cakes from the wharf. When I went to buy them, someone stuffed them in my arms and they disappeared." He handed over a letter.

Jia Amnesty picked it up and saw that it was indeed written by that "good friend" last night, in Wei Li's small characters.

The letter said that the fire in the granary was a trap, and if you check it, you must fall into it, and it doesn't stop at the court.I heard that the Rongguo Mansion hates trouble the most, why not avoid it?

After reading it, Jia Amnesty snorted and said, "Jiang Wen scolded me again. I said how could he be so kind as to send us to one place." Then he pinched and went to the boat over there.

Sure enough, the two of them had already finished their breakfast and were preparing to sail.Jia Amnesty went up and asked, "Is there anything to eat?" He handed the letter to Qi Zhou.

Jiang Wu had no choice but to ask someone to bring him some breakfast, and he also guessed who wrote the letter, so he waited anxiously.

Qi Zhou was speechless after reading it, and handed it to Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu cursed after reading it, "My brother must know something, but he didn't mention a word."

Qi Zhou said: "It's useless to talk too much." Because he asked, "Has Junzhi ever touched you?"

Jiang Wu shook his head: "No, not at all."

Jia Amnesty gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun and said to them, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we go."

Qi Zhou sighed slightly: "That's the only way." He ordered the boat to sail.

The group of them walked casually, although it was not secretive, it was not very ostentatious.There were still three or four days before Suzhou, and the three of them took more than twenty capable special battalion soldiers who pretended to be bodyguards to change land and go first.

Boss Jia Cong was unhappy and pouted for a long time.Jia Amnesty promised to take him to climb mountains and swim in lakes in the future.And carefully entrusted him to Mo Yu.Mo Yu knew that this was a serious matter, so she just nodded and said nothing.Jiang Wu also told him a few words, then went ashore and left.

Gusu area is really picturesque.The smoke tree is graceful, the small bridge is quiet, and the Wu Yin is tactful, making the whole group feel comfortable.

Therefore, they came to investigate the granary, so they first visited two rice shops.Surprised by this question!

It turned out that the granary caught fire a few months ago, and the price of grain more than quadrupled.In the past half a month or so, there has been a sudden influx of rice grains, and grain prices have plummeted!When asked where the rice came from, he said that several big families in the south of the Yangtze River bought it from various places and sold it at a low price.And Master Xu, the magistrate of Jiangsu, ordered to limit the selling price of each rice store, so that it should not be higher than before the granary fire.Today's food prices have not risen compared to before the fire, but have fallen a bit.Now everyone praises Xu Qingtian.

These few are all sensible people, what else can't be guessed?However, the official rations were taken privately, and they earned money and fame.

Qi Zhou said with a smile: "This is a bit of a calculation."

Jiang Wu became more impatient, and scolded: "Let them wait, and not let them go."

On the contrary, Jia Amnesty has some things that he has nothing to do with himself, and they are not his money anyway.After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't I understand the root of this matter? Is it to get some money and food? Or to raise a private army?"

Qi Zhou said: "I don't know. Let's go and have a look first."

Jiang Wu hurried to the granary because of his horse, but Jia Amnesty refused, and wanted to sleep well and eat well.It's useless for Jiang Wu to make trouble with him for half a day, so he has to.

The three of them were still walking slowly, Dao really didn't seem to be here to investigate the case, but more and more like they were here for fun.

At dusk that day, they finally approached Suzhou City, and they rushed over according to Jiang Wu's wishes, but Jia She refused to agree anyway, and finally a small town stopped.Jiang Wu got angry and went back to bed early.Qi Zhou walks alone in the courtyard.At that time, the wind was blowing cool, the moon was full and the courtyard was full, which made people feel a little bit depressed.

After a while, Jia She sneaked out.

Qi Zhou asked: "Still no news?"

Jia Amnesty said indignantly: "It's weird, the first two news from them are not clear, we're all here, and we haven't written yet. Xiao Qi, who are you thinking about?"

Qi Zhou shook his head: "How do I know. He is not a saint, nor is he loyal to the prince."

"What kind old beggar did you help when you were young? Or an injured old Taoist priest?"

Qi Zhou smiled and said: "No. Zhou is only a scholar."

Jia She sighed: "There is no news tonight, I'm afraid they really don't care about us."

Just as he was speaking, he heard a "plop", and a ball of things flew in from the outer courtyard.

Jia Amnesty hurried up, only to see a lump on the ground, illuminated by the moonlight as if it was wrapped in some old clothes.Ignoring the others, I grabbed it and shook it, and sure enough, another ball of paper fell out of it.

He first took the ball of paper to look inside under the headlight, Qi Zhou looked at the clothes, it was very ordinary, so he asked a soldier to take it out and ask.

Not long after, the soldier came back and said with a smile: "It's the shopkeeper's clothes. Somehow they fell into our yard after hanging out."

Qi Zhou nodded, and wondered why Jia She didn't say anything for a long time before entering the house.

Jia Amnesty was in Qi Zhou's room at this time, with a pen in his mouth, with a frowning face, and the piece of paper thrown in from outside was spread out in front of him.Seeing him coming in, he said in frustration, "Why did you come here? Wouldn't it be good to dawdle a little longer?"

Qi Zhou came over to take a look, there were more than a dozen lantern riddles densely written on the paper, all of which were guessing scriptures and historical classics, he couldn't help laughing.

But pick them up and break them one by one, because someone went to the next door to call Jiang Wu over.Jiang Wu just fell asleep, and had no choice but to get up humming and chirping.

Qi and Zhou are broken and listed in one place, but I still don't know why.Jia Amnesty stretched out his head to look at it, and smiled: "I know that." Then he picked up a pen to point out every word in every sentence.Sure enough, it became a sentence: "Xu Mei is innocent, the Zhen family is scheming, and Zhang Chao is not dead." After reading, he turned his head and asked, "The Zhen family probably refers to the Jiangnan Zhen family. Who is Xu Mei? Who is Zhang Chao?"

Qi Zhou sighed: "It's useless to read so many files. Xu Mei is the magistrate of Jiangsu, and Zhang Chao is a small official of the granary. It is said in the document that he died in the fire." Yin frowned, "This is true, a small Most of the officials were silenced in such a big case, how could he escape?"

Jia She said: "Could it be that Zhang Chao or a friend of Zhang Chao sent us a message?"

Jiang Wu sneered: "He clearly came here for Xiao Qi, didn't he let him go back to Beijing?"

Jia Amnesty sneered back: "Can he? The imperial decree has been accepted, I'm afraid we are going to investigate this." Then he said, "Regardless of whether these three letters are true or not, Jinling Zhen's family has joined together anyway, and they have taken over their heads. Check it out?"

Qi Zhou said: "Start from those rice heads."

The next day, a group of people entered the city, and they did not visit privately. They just went to the Yamen to meet the county magistrate and announced the decree.

The county magistrate Han Zhan had known that there were imperial envoys coming down from above, and all kinds of entertainment were prepared.Qi Zhou waved his hand and said that the emperor ordered him to go to the granary first.As if the county magistrate had received an order, he immediately called for his men and accompanied him on the horse.

The granary of Suzhou Mansion is located in the suburbs, so the horse race took some time.When I got there, I saw that everything was scorched and desolate, and some green grass had already grown among the ruined walls.

Jia Amnesty didn't want to come, he thought that all the traces that could be found here must have been erased.Better to start elsewhere.However, since I came here, I had to pretend to look around.

Qi Zhou and others also checked carefully, but found nothing.

Only then did Han County Magistrate say, "Lord Qi, why don't you go back to the county government office and have some food?"

When it was too late, I saw a few arrows "swish" flying in the sky, heading straight for the faces of Qi Zhou and Han County Magistrate.The two sons of Peng's family were guarding just beside them, each of them danced like the wind with each spear, "Dang Dang Dang" several times, and all the incoming arrows fell to the ground.

County magistrate Han was stunned.

Someone had already chased the arrow where it came from, and saw a black horse galloping northwestward.Jiang Wu leaped onto his horse and was as fast as lightning.He immediately drew his bow, and two arrows shot out, hitting the horse's two hind legs.

Someone at this end had kicked out the others, leaving only them and the county magistrate of Suzhou here.

Not long after, Jiang Wu ran back, already carrying a person in his hand, and threw it heavily on the ground. "Marquis Jia En, it's yours."

Jia She curled his lips and slipped over to take a look: He is clearly a healthy soldier, and he is also a serious soldier by looking at his clothes.Just now Peng Kai also said that the arrow he shot was from the army.Looking at this person's look of death, he was quite stunned.Yin asked, "What's your surname? What's your name? How many people are there in the family, how many sheep and how many grasses?"

The man sneered and said, "A gentleman will not change his name when he is going, and he will not change his surname when he sits down! Gaowei, Zhang Shilu is a soldier of old general Zhang Shilu."

Jia She said "Hey": "Old man Zhang's people? You came to attack us, could it be that old man Zhang is still determined to rebel?"

Na Gaowei said angrily: "General Zhang is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, how can he rebel!"

Jia She snorted and said, "Is he loyal to the emperor and patriotic? Ask him who his master is! If he didn't rebel, why would he assassinate the imperial envoy? If he didn't rebel, it would be like a rebellion if you make trouble."

Gao Wei was in a hurry: "I am doing things alone! It has nothing to do with the general."

Jia Amnesty said: "You belong to him, and he has rebelled against him. If you say that it has nothing to do with you, you can be trusted?"

Qi Zhou walked over and asked him: "I have no enmity with your general, why did you kill me?"

Jia Amnesty also said, "Yes, it has nothing to do with him."

Gao Wei was taken aback.

"Did someone tell you that it was his idea that your general dismissed class?" He pointed at Zhou, "It's none of his business, it's my idea." Yin sneered, "Do you know that old man Zhang is going to pull you together to rebel, Support Leshan County King to ascend the throne? Won't the saint replace him and wait for you to come to Beijing? Replace him and save his life."

Galway was completely taken aback this time.Even though he was angry for the general, he never thought about rebelling and abolishing the establishment.It took half a day to say: "You are talking nonsense!"

Jia She snorted and said, "Don't you know who your general is? If it wasn't for this—" He pointed at Jiang Wu, "As a general, the old man Xizhang is really a general, and he wants to surrender this man for the saint. General, I’m already dead.” Then he cursed, “Now that the world is in peace and the people’s livelihood is prosperous, are you guys free? Looking for trouble all day long. Do you know how many people will die in a war? Not only you will die, but the soldiers of the imperial court will die too. ! Not to mention the many common people. Look at how prosperous this city of Suzhou is. They were all made wartime ghosts, just to replace the emperor with the emperor's nephew, what are you doing!"

Gao Wei is just a soldier, how does he know this?The whole person lost his soul.

Jiang Wu was on the sidelines, frantic.How can these things be said publicly?Seeing that the county magistrate of Suzhou was also like a clay sculpture, he had no choice but to motion for two people to tie him up.He frowned and said, "I don't understand what they want to do anymore. Where did they get such a fool."

Jia Amnesty said: "They were lucky. It has nothing to do with them if Xiao Qi dies. If he doesn't die, it will cause trouble for us. By the way, you will not be allowed to surrender Lao Zhang."

At this time Gao Wei had already come to his senses, and when he heard them say the word "surrender", he couldn't help crying against the wind.How can the emperor call the court general "surrender"? Could it be that the old general is really rebellious?

On the first day in Suzhou, they were shocked by this, and the whole group rushed back dejectedly.

On the way, Qi Zhou whispered bitterly to Jiang Wu: "Let Jiang Junzhi wait, don't think that I, Qi Zhou, won't take revenge on others."

Jiang Wu grinned: "I will help you."

At this time, the order to change generals of the Southwest Army was issued from the capital.

The author has something to say: Do I understand what I wrote?This stunned head was deliberately let in by Jiang Wen, so that he could be sent back to the Southwest Army for publicity in the future.Horizontal and vertical Zhang can not go southwest even if he surrenders.
