To kill with a borrowed knife, "The enemy is known, but the friend is not yet determined. If you lead a friend to kill the enemy without using your own strength, it will harm the deduction."
"Shibo! I will entrust you to take care of my maid!"
"Brother Xing, won't you come back to Beijing with us?"
"I won't go. Now that things are going on in Yangzhou, people from the capital are about to arrive. Shibo's safety is guaranteed. Peace is rare in the border areas. The sooner this happens, the better!!"
"Well, Brother Xing is right. If that's the case, then I wish you a safe journey!!"
At the end of a corridor at the Yanyan Yamen, Jia Qi stood still for a moment and said: "Come out!!"
A figure flashed in the shadow and appeared in front of Jia Qi. It was Yang Yun, the inner guard sent by Emperor Mingkang to protect Lin Ruhai.
"What orders do you have, Master!!"
"You will probably be by Lin Shibo's side in the future. Before I return to the capital, if Lin Shibo does anything unusual, do you know what to do?"
Yang Yun's hands and feet went cold. Since the last time he was controlled by Jia Qi, he realized that the boy in front of him was not a kind person. He never thought that he would give him such an order before leaving.
After a long while, he whispered back: "I know!"
"Lu Guangbing and Yu Baichuan were walking south. They took their family with them and ran away quickly!"
Yang Yun's eyes lit up, and he bowed and said, "Thank you so much, sir! I will live up to your trust in the future!"
Then Yang Yun disappeared into the night again and disappeared without a trace.
Jia Qi was silent for a while, and his eyes flickered a few times. Those two people staying behind would be a disaster after all. It would be better to eradicate the roots. Those two people would never surrender if they knew they would die, so Yang Yun could only take him with him on this trip.
Just two heads back.
Yangzhou City, Wanhua Tower, Huayu Pavilion.
They both looked at the jade plate hanging in the sky, their pretty faces slowly turned a little rosy, their expressions a little sad, and their thoughts drifted into the distance with the quiet moonlight.
Twenty-Four Bridges On a moonlit night, where can a beautiful lady teach me how to play the flute?
The moon is shining tonight, and I don’t know where the young master is or when they will meet again.
Under the moonlight, a small boat sailed out of Yangzhou lightly, and there were people singing faintly in the night.
"What's the point of the war in the world? There are many heroic souls on the battlefield.
Let's go to Quantai to recruit the old troops and kill Yama with a hundred thousand banners!"
On the second day, an army of 5,000 people from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing arrived in Yangzhou, accompanied by people from the Sansi Yamen and many new faces. These people looked much greener, and most of them were the new generation of scholars.
Jinshi and people.
Seeing these people, Lin Ruhai knew very well that Emperor Mingkang wanted to give Yangzhou a complete change of blood. After all, most of the local officials in Yangzhou were involved in the salt transportation incident, and most of them belonged to the lineage of Emperor Taikang. This time Yangzhou
With such a big incident happening, it was only natural for Emperor Mingkang to take action.
However, he didn't have the time to take care of these things. This move had already made him quit Yangzhou's officialdom. The rest of the matter should be left to others!
Most of the leading generals in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing are descendants of the Xungui Group. After meeting Lin Ruhai, most of them were neither salty nor indifferent. They were surrounded by Emperor Taikang and could not urinate in the same pot as Emperor Mingkang. Naturally
She didn't have much of a good impression on him, Emperor Mingkang's confidant, and Lin Ruhai didn't care about it, just let everyone do their own thing.
As for the people in the three divisions, most of them are civil servants, and they can be said to be die-hards of Emperor Mingkang. Lin Ruhai was not only a member of the imperial examination, but also a close official of Emperor Mingkang. They were naturally close to the generals from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
Compared to that, there really is a sky and an earth.
Soon these people straightened out the case based on the evidence provided by Lin Ruhai, and investigated officials at all levels in Yangzhou. Only those imprisoned accounted for fifty-sixths of the officialdom in Yangzhou, and hundreds of officials, big and small, were involved.
Once the incident was reported back to the court, it caused turmoil in the court.
Emperor Kangxi of Ming Dynasty was even more furious. What Dakang lacked most now was money. Riots in various places and natural and man-made disasters all required huge amounts of money.
To suppress these rebellions, we need to send troops to fight. As long as there is a war, money will naturally be used. Since ancient times, if the troops and horses are not moved, food and grass go first, and the army is sent out. It is not just a few thousand taels or tens of thousands taels.
.
Secondly, to appease the victims, this is also a terrifying figure. Even millions of taels cannot last for a few months.
It can be said that Emperor Kangxi of the Ming Dynasty wanted to break a tael of silver in half and use it as a tael of silver. However, Yangzhou was not so good. Officials and businessmen colluded to resell salt and line their own pockets. The salt merchants alone had amassed tens of millions of taels.
For the money, he wished he could kill all nine of their clans directly.
In the end, after the three divisions ransacked their homes, the wealth of the officials in Yangzhou reached an astonishing 25 million taels of silver, which almost shocked their jaws.
Including the confiscation of the homes of the six major salt merchants in Yangzhou, the total was 60 million taels of silver. Even the Third Division was red-eyed when they saw this number, but fortunately they did not dare to cross that line. This case
It turned out that Emperor Kang personally paid close attention to the matter and did not tolerate their cheating. They worked like this for nearly a month before the end of Yangzhou was almost settled. Then the group returned to the capital under the escort of the army.
On the other side, Jia Qi went north along the canal. Not far from the capital, he got off the boat and took the dry road to the north. He encountered all kinds of things along the way. In the green forest, he saw a young prince brother alone.
Naturally, there were many people who made up their minds when traveling, but in the end most of them were killed by Jia Qi and fed to the bastards in the river.
After that, Jia Qi caught up with another caravan and paid twenty taels of silver. It was considered a hitchhiking and the journey was considered safe.
Until that day, when they were passing near Yanshan, they encountered a group of strong men.
The caravan has a total of seventy or eighty people, including the bodyguards they hired, as well as their original retinue.
The escorts are from the Weiyuan Escort Bureau in Baoding Prefecture. They are all proficient in fists and kicks. They are all tall and tall. Normally, even five or six people cannot get close to each other. There are about twenty or thirty people in this group of escorts.
The other group was the caravan's original retinue. There were forty or fifty of them. Although they were not as sharp as the bodyguards, they were still good players who could match theirs.

The leader was an old man named Wang. The old man was named Wang Shanwen. He was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He was good at talking and had a business mind. By chance, he discovered that there was a huge price difference between the north and the south, so he found a few partners and started.
This business of traveling all over the world.
After so many years, the wealth has accumulated more and more, and the number of people under his command has become more and more. Now it has become a caravan. Jia Qi also heard a lot of information during the chat with him earlier. The old man said that in recent days,
Business has become increasingly difficult in recent years. Ten years ago, there were no such strong backbones in various places. But for some reason in the past few years, it is normal for almost every province not to encounter one or two groups.
Jia Qi was thoughtful about this. If Dakang had really replaced Daming, perhaps these things would not be surprising.
After the Ming Dynasty, there was a period of time called the Little Ice Age. The weather suddenly became cold and crop yields were reduced. Those ordinary people could no longer survive and would naturally look for a way out. Qiang Liang was probably the last resort.
