Chapter 313 The commander is in trouble

Jinling City,

No one in the Jia family's ninth-room residence has gone out for several days. Especially in the past few days, the people surrounded by the imperial army are not small at all, and they are merciless and dare to rush out.

, ranging from beating and scolding to severe beatings.

Many servants, women, etc. were beaten with bruises on the nose and face, and some boys were beaten until they were lying in bed unable to get up.

The people in the house were all in panic. Many servants gathered together secretly, muttering that the master might offend someone or something big happened, and they looked more frightened.

Jia Wenfu, who lives in the ninth house of the Jia family, is not married now. There are many beauties and concubines in the house, especially in the back house. There is a woman he likes very much. She is the courtesan that Jia Wenfu redeemed from a brothel.

She takes charge of the house as soon as she enters the house. After so many years, she still has the aura of being the matron of the house.

Today, in the main room in the backyard, this woman also had her hands on her hips, holding a handkerchief, and cursed angrily in the main room;

"You heartless person, tell me what's going on? Now in Jinling City, don't think that I don't know. I'm afraid our house is the only one surrounded by all the nobles. And there is no law at all. Isn't it a shame? You still claim to be

Where is the leader of the Jia family in Jinling?"

Jia Wenfu also sat listlessly at the bottom, feeling a little annoyed in his heart. He asked which pot he didn't want to open and picked up, and said angrily;

"What could possibly happen? It's not that Marquis Luo Yun wants to bring bad luck to our Jia family. Just wait for him to vent his anger in a few days and it will be fine."

"Hey, what a coincidence. Just to vent my anger on you, you didn't find a bronze mirror to look at yourself. If you hadn't thought of a way, the consequences would have been really bad."

Jia Wenfu's concubine also sat there with a sneer. Looking at the somewhat hypocritical Jia Wenfu, she felt a little inexplicable pleasure in her heart. She had been a concubine for many years. She had raised so many people and never looked at her, even if she was empty.

Not righting yourself.

The Imperial City Secretary stayed at the Yamen,

There are one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. The security is tight, and the sergeants on duty are also meticulous in patrolling.

"Lord Commander, Marquis Luo Yun led his people southward from the water stronghold of the Pier Guards, and the five thousand cavalrymen of the Tengxiang Guards in the Old Palace also followed them out of the South City Gate and galloped southward on the road. They should be running

Direction to Suzhou.”

There was a rustle in the house for a while, and the sound of dressing was heard. After a while, a fire lit up in the house. Shi Changliang opened the door with his clothes on. When he saw his second brother outside the door, he asked;

"Come in and talk,"

"Brother, I know, but brother, when the city gate is about to fall tonight, five thousand cavalrymen of the Forbidden Army rush out of Jinling City from the old palace at the south gate. What do you think is going on?"

Shi Bohua, who was puzzled for a moment, asked with his eyes widened.

I was just about to leave when I saw a gray carrier pigeon flying over the railing. It looked like it was a letter, so I grabbed the carrier pigeon, removed a small cylinder from its leg, took the letter, and walked back to the study alone.

Light the oil lamp.

Qianhu You Guangfeng also ran in from outside and shouted anxiously;

At this moment, Jia Wenfu also tried his best to ask for help from the outside world, but people from the Imperial Army were always surrounding him, and he did not know many things outside. It seemed that Marquis Luo Yun was determined to cause trouble for the Jia family.

Shi Changliang was also interested. The people of the Forbidden Army went south, and there were Suzhou and Yangzhou over there. There was a Jiangnan camp in Suzhou, so did the Marquis of Luo Yun also go south? Could it be that he had discovered something unusual.

A letter came from the Baolinghou Mansion in Beijing.

Upon hearing his elder brother's question, Shi Bohua took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it over.

Seeing the second child talking happily without knowing what he was enjoying, Shi Changliang also said angrily;

"What do you know? People are coming here, which means that all the fat people in Jiangnan are being targeted by those people. Tell the people below to restrain themselves and be careful about being caught by others. Moreover, I can say this, Luo Yunhou is now

, he should have left Jinling, but I don’t know whether he went to Suzhou or Yangzhou. If Jia Wenfu wants to survive, he must find someone with real power to save him, otherwise he will have no chance, hey."

Seeing his confidant You Qianhu running in anxiously, he asked,

"What's wrong? Why are you so panicked?"

Shi Changliang clearly remembered what happened back then. Now Marquis Luo Yun wanted to come to Jiangnan to stir up a big case, but the names under the sword were all blank. How could he give an excuse? If Commander Gui hadn't tried his best to stop him, he wouldn't have been able to do so.

Do you know how many people were killed in Jinling City?

Shi Bohua nodded to express his understanding. After all, the two mansions were not far apart.

Of course, I couldn't say what I was thinking out loud, so I comforted my concubine,

"Moreover, I have also sent letters to those old connections, and even to the Jia family in the capital. There should be a solution, mainly because of Marquis Luo Yun's opinion, but, alas."

Shi Bohua originally wanted to ask more questions, but after seeing his elder brother's behavior, he understood that he must have known the cause and effect for a long time, and this matter must be extremely difficult.

You Qianhu ran out of ideas for a while and sent his own people to keep an eye on them, but the guards' camp and the old palace couldn't be entered, so they were slower to find out.

I saw it written above, Shi Changliang received this letter and must not get involved in the affairs of Marquis Luo Yun and the Jia family, Shi Ding.

Besides, Jia Wenfu is also a branch of the Jia family after all, and he can be regarded as a noble party. The noble family in the world can really be in danger of his life. However, seeing the heavy look on his eldest brother's face, he fell silent for a while.

"What, when did it happen? Why didn't I hear about it? Didn't I say before that Marquis Luo Yun went to the Qinhuai River?"

Especially the Zhen family, there was no reply. Considering the relationship between the Jia family and the Zhen family, even if something happened, they should have reported to themselves.

Shi Changliang opened the letter and read it through the light of the oil lamp on the table. He knew it in his heart. Then under Shi Bohua's puzzled eyes, he took the letter and burned it on the candle of the oil lamp. After a while, it was ready.

A ball of ashes.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I should have a response in the next few days. Please be patient. There are so many people in Jinling City watching. They can't do anything to us."

In the government office, after the cases in the hall,

Gui Yifu was also sitting there, holding his forehead and reading the letters on the table. They were all about things from all over the south of the Yangtze River. There were almost nothing that went well, and everyone came.

Just thinking,

Not far from Jia’s house is the residence of the Jinling historian.

In a hidden place in the backyard, there is a circle of homing pigeons.

"Brother, there is another thing to do tonight. In Yunliang Pavilion, there is a noble young master from Qinglian Academy in the capital. Who do you think he is?"

Shi Bohua was teasing the pigeons with the grain, and waited until he finished feeding the pigeons.

"Well, I'm not sure about this, but tonight at Yunliang Pavilion on the Qinhuai River, many people saw Marquis Luo Yun. I heard that they even beat up the young masters of the transfer envoy. In the end, Mr. Xu came to apologize in person.

I just picked him up, I think it’s so late, Marquis Luo Yun should go back and rest.”

Hearing his eldest brother's sigh, Shi Bohua also didn't believe it. It was true or not. Marquis Luo Yun had just returned and left. Could it be that a golden cicada had escaped from its shell again?

"Boom, boom"

"Well, you sit down first and I'll take a look."

"Cuckoo."

"My lord, my lord, I am humble enough to report something urgent."

Picking up a stamp and reading it, he found that the royal guards of the Prince of Xining and the Eagle Guards under the command of King Xi also came to Jiangnan. The young prince Gong Huaiyu also came here with the headmaster of Qinglian Academy in the capital.

"Well, on the night when they were surrounded, I received a letter from Jia Wenfu, but I burned it without even reading it. I knew everything he said, but the Zhen family didn't take action, so we can't

Move, there is no solution to this matter."

I also led people around the house many times a day. I stood on a high place and looked outside. Everything was as usual, that is, the guards of the Forbidden Army were always there and never left.

Jia Wenfu didn't know that this matter was dangerous. He just sent letters to all his old contacts in Jinling City a few days ago, but so far, there is still no news, and he gradually has a bad premonition in his heart.

"Yes, sir, I went to Yunliang Pavilion, but the Marquis left immediately after returning without any warning. Commander, what should I do now?"

Gui Yifu also got up and walked back and forth in the Yamen Hall. After thinking for a moment, he gave the order,

"Quickly, beat the drums, gather the people from the Imperial City Division Cavalry Guard in Jinling, and follow me immediately to catch up with the 5,000 men and horses on the road. I am afraid that Jiao Xiong and the Marquis may misunderstand.

"

"Oh, the cavalry of the Forbidden Army has left, but where is Marquis Luo Yun?"

"Brother, he is not a young master from any family. He is the young prince of Xining County. Gong Huaiyu has become the chief of Qinglian Academy. Now he has come to Jinling. Brother, you said that we in Jiangnan are now full of young talents.

It’s here.”

Shi Bohua also talked about the information sent back by his family's spy in Jinling. Now it is undoubtedly the traces of the imperial envoy and Eunuch Zhao that attract the most attention.

Shi Changliang whispered;

"Second brother, do you know that Marquis Luo Yun came to Jinling a few days ago and surrounded the nine rooms of the Jia family in the capital the next day?"

You Qianhu did not dare to delay and told the information he had obtained. Gui Yifu was also suddenly startled, thinking of Jiao Xiong from Jiangnan Camp in Suzhou.

Then he thought of another thing and said;

Stopped, knocked on the door, and shouted softly;

"Brother, brother, there's a letter from Beijing."

"Yes, sir."

"Brother, what does this mean?"

Shi Bohua ducked into the room. Before he could sit down, he was asked by his elder brother,

"Why are you here so late?"
