Thinking of the proud place, I laughed out loud unconsciously.

"Bah, bah, bah!"

Liu Lianlian ate a huge thorn and almost choked to death: "Look, I just said that your family has made a lot of ill-gotten wealth. I almost died just taking a sip of soup next to you. I have to hurry up."

Send you back!.”

Liu Lianlian made up his mind to throw this girl away when he arrived in Zhenjiang.

It’s not that far to Zhenjiang by water, but it’s not easy to row a small awning boat like this. Especially in one section, you have to row against the current. Before we reach the dock, it’s getting dark. It seems that we have to go on a small boat at night.

Overnight.

The boatman knocked on the door: "Noble sir, we are going to pass through Caobang's territory ahead. They may question you for a while. It's all up to the little old man to deal with it. You two gentlemen, don't panic."

"Caogang?"

Liu Xianglian's eyes flashed, and she tightened the soft sword on her waist: "Dad, don't worry, my wife and I won't cause you any trouble. Don't worry."

Zhen Keai, who knew nothing about it, pinched Liu Lian's thigh hard: "Ms. sir, you are absolutely right. I am the most obedient and will never cause trouble!"

"That's good, I'll take my leave."

The boatman and his daughter would stay outside the boat when the boat was sailing. They didn't seem to want to communicate too much with the two of them. They lowered the bamboo curtains on both sides of the awning and took out a piece of cotton to cover both sides. The cold river breeze was immediately gone.

.

In his previous life, Liu Lian's parents were from the bottom, and he could best understand the hardship and persistence of ordinary people's lives. He quietly took out another hundred taels of silver, pressed it on the bottom of the wooden basin holding the fish soup, and glued it on with biological glue.

"Hey, you're so disgusting. You feel sorry for them. Why don't you just give it to the boatman?"

Liu Lianlian glanced at Zhen Keyai angrily: "If I give it to him directly, you have to ask why I give it to him directly?"

"Then why did you give it to him directly?"

"Of course I don't want him to know now! By the way, do you know Caobang?"

"Know!"

"Miss Zhen, can you tell me what kind of organization the Cao Gang is, and whether it will be dangerous for the boatman and his daughter to deal with it."

"Huh, call me Miss Zhen when you have something to do, and call me stinky girl when you have nothing to do. Of course I know about the Cao Gang, but why do I have to tell you?"

"What do you want?"

"You take me to Shangjing and I will tell you."

"Okay, okay, I agree! Have you fallen in love with that boy Jia Baoyu and are so interested in him?"

"I'm going to die, you! I don't like Jia Baoyu's unweaned baby! The worst is like you?"

"Come on, please don't touch me. With my looks, if I really go to Beijing to find a beautiful woman from a long time ago, it's more than enough to eat a bowl of soft rice. I don't like bean sprouts like you at all!"

"

The good thing about this era is that everyone gets married early, so many people who have daughters or even grandchildren are not very old. For example, Aunt Xue got married at sixteen and gave birth to children at seventeen. Baochai was fourteen, too.

But in her early thirties, in future generations, this is still the most beautiful age for a woman!

Eating soft rice is not too fragrant.

Zhen Keyai hit Liu Lianlian hard and looked really angry: "Liu Lianlian, how am I inferior to those old women? Also, if you dare to compare me with that idiot Jia Baoyu in the future,

I'm not done with you!

The Caobang is a loose organization gathered by a generation of green forest heroes in the south of the Yangtze River. It mainly seeks money, earns some carriage fees and sells private salt, and generally rarely harms human life.

Moreover, the boatmen who carry passengers on the river will hand over some money to the Caobang every month to support this group of people. Therefore, the risk is very small, but the Caobang sometimes rescues boatmen who are in trouble."

Liu Lian nodded and felt relieved. He was just asking for money, so there was always a way to do things, as long as he didn't hurt anyone's life. If he crossed the line, the government would naturally deal with it, so it was not his turn to worry.

"Zhen Keai, you seem to hate Jia Baoyu. Why, can you tell me? As far as I know, Baoyu is not an ordinary person, and no one in the entire Rongguo Mansion dares to offend him! This Jia Baoyu has a graceful demeanor and a face like a silver basin crown.

Jade is a passionate and beautiful man."

Zhen Keyai sneered: "The old prince was very high-spirited back then, but now he has a bunch of idiots who don't know the good and bad things."

"Oh? Aren't you relatives? Why do you say that?"

Zhen Keai sighed deeply: "If their family hadn't been stupid, my grandmother wouldn't have raised me as a boy to find a way out for our Zhen family. This involves a secret from the past!"

"Which one are you talking about?"

Zhen Keai revealed inside and outside her words the inside story of the decline of these nobles. This was an unsolved mystery in the literary world of the previous world.

Although Mr. Cao once said that "everything that is unethical and dishonorable comes out in honor, and the beginning of the quarrel is really peaceful", which caused people to make bold guesses and assumptions about Jia Zhenjia Rong, the father and son, and Qin Keqing, there is no doubt that all this can only be done.

It's just a guess, there's no way to prove it.

Liu Xianglian's world view is more inclined to the fact that all events in history are driven by interests rather than emotions, especially the inference that the enterprising emperor at the founding of the country went to war just because of a woman is obviously unreliable.

But now, Liu Lianlian could see this problem more concretely, and he couldn't help but be curious.

Zhen Keyai leaned back, looked at the stars in the sky, and sighed: "I don't know why you are so brave."

"Curious. If people don't have curiosity, what's the point of living? Especially the secrets between wealthy families and even royal palaces like yours are even more attractive."

Zhen Keai gave Liu Lian a fierce look with her big beautiful eyes. Have you ever told you: "In this world, the more you know, the more trouble you will have. Since you are not afraid of trouble, then I will tell you, what I said is right."

It is a Jia family with two states."

"Rongguo Mansion or Ningguo Mansion?"

"Well, of course it's the Rongguo Mansion. There are two or three big cats and kittens in the Ningguo Mansion now. A family of flies and dogs can't do much evil, nor can they cause much disaster. It can become the emperor's handle against all the martial arts."

"Could it be Jia Lian and the Jia family of Rongguo Mansion?"

"Now, don't you call him Second Master Lian? I know that what you said is all false. Yes, but not only their Rongguo Mansion, but also the Jia family of Ningguo Mansion, are obviously a bunch of idiots.

He wanted to get involved in a shocking event. After the failure, he did not want to lie dormant and made many ridiculous things, becoming a weapon for the new emperor to take advantage of our martial arts family."

Liu Xianglian became even more curious: "I only heard that Jia She, the boss of Rongguo Mansion, is greedy for money and lustful. He only cares about two things at his age, one is making money, and the other is playing with women. The second eldest son is a housekeeper, he is ambitious but not talented, and he is dull.

Wu Mou, the rest of the Yingying Yanyan are just a bunch of women. What ridiculous things can such a family of dandies with no skills in culture or martial arts get up to?"

Of course Liu Xianglian has her own ideas, but it is obvious that properly expressing her curiosity will make those in the know have a stronger desire to talk, which is a pleasure that subverts other people's views.

After hearing this, Zhen Keai became more interested and opened her eyes wide: "It's okay to tell you. Since you know so clearly about Rongguo Mansion, you will definitely know it when I tell you! As for the Jia family's Rongguo Mansion, the eldest son Xi

Although he is a prince, he uses his second son to head the family, which is a violation of moral norms. Although this is a family matter, since he is a prince and a nobleman, and he enjoys that honor, he has no hindrance to the righteousness. This kind of thing can be big or small, and it is a crime if you look into it deeply.

"

"One crime, so there are others?"

This matter, how should I put it, at least in Liu Lian's view, is not a big deal. After all, people live their lives behind closed doors, and whoever they want to be in charge can be in charge, so why bother others?

No matter how domineering your emperor is, you still care about who is in charge of other people's affairs?

He really underestimated the common sense of etiquette and law in this era. Once such a ridiculous scandal comes out, such a sect will inevitably become a deviant and waste its reputation of etiquette and law.

Let me ask you, with such a reputation, how do you gain a title, serve as an official, and conduct yourself as a person?

I am afraid that no one can avoid such a person!

"Of course, how can such a big family have only one crime? The second is bullying men and women, bullying the market, bending the law for personal gain, and forming cliques for personal gain. Jia Hua, who followed Jia Lian to Beijing a few days ago, must have followed the Jia family's path.

.Don’t say that he is just a shadow of the prince. Even after the prince’s uprising is defeated, I am afraid that he will not have much time to act like this."

"Your second one contains quite a lot. I'm afraid your Zhen family is about the same."

Zhen Keyai nodded in agreement, not shying away at all: "The nine sons of a dragon are all different, let alone mortals. It would be strange if any family did not have a few unworthy descendants. The most important thing is that the head of the family must be impartial.

, there is still hope. The Rongguo Mansion is now headed by an old lady. She is senior and has little knowledge. It is really a disaster."

This... problem is not a small one. There are quite a lot of favors left between the two armies. Whether it is frontier trade routes, power manipulation, or recommendation of alliances, under the Jia family's superb operations, the real

He didn't see many of his allies and followers, but he had used up all his favors.

Many red scholars believe that this is the main reason for the decline of the Jia family, but obviously, the decisive factor is probably which of them holds it in the mouth for fear of melting, or puts it in the palm of the hand for fear of dropping the young master Jia Baoyu who was born with a jade in his hand!

"In the end, the old and confused Shi Taijun of the Jia family, who did not understand the taboos of kings, concocted a son who was born with a jade in his mouth. Tsk tsk, he was born with a vision from the sky. What does this mean in recorded history? This old lady only thought about

They are following the scenery of the two kingdoms, randomly looking for some auspicious signs and gimmicks!

But I have never thought about what this means?

No matter how happy they are now, the ending is almost doomed!

The sword has been handed to the emperor. When to take action depends on the timing and mood.

However, in a short period of time, such a helpless fish belly may be demoted to more honors, and when the remaining military honors are liquidated in the future, the impact will be wider and deeper."

Zhen Keyai was a little silent as she spoke.

The Jia family is just the prelude to the big curtain. Who among the four kings, eight pot masters, and generals and princes will be spared?

Everyone will be prosperous, and everyone will suffer losses. With entangled interests, no one can be alone!

"Since you Mrs. Zhen can see it so clearly, why don't you try to persuade that crazy and ignorant old lady? Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope?"

Zhen Keyai looked at Liu Lian strangely, as if she was looking at an alien.
