Chapter 225: Happy cutting(1/2)
"I have visited them one by one according to the records in the file."
"However, many people took their families away first after the Bai family, Shen family, Zhou family and Wu family fell. I also asked people to send messages to them."
"There are also some people who, although their skills are not low, have a bad reputation. They rely on the wealth of the salt merchants to do evil. I ignore these people."
"In addition, for those who are filial, or have children and grandchildren to support, and whose families are harmonious, I took Jing'er and went door-to-door to give Anjia money. There are a total of sixty-eight of these people, and these sixty-eight people are available at any time.
…”
After hearing this, Jia Qiang looked at Aunt Sun and said curiously: "Aunt Sun, since these people have harmonious families and their children have filial piety, why do they still work in this industry? Most people in this industry will have a road of no return."
Aunt Sun glanced at Jia Qiang with a strange look and said: "Brother Qiang is really a young man who doesn't know the sufferings of the people. Although the world is generally peaceful, the only people who can truly live freely are noble people like you, and
The families of scholars and ordinary people mostly have to make ends meet. If someone in the family gets a bad disease, the family will be ruined. If they can really live a peaceful and prosperous life, who would be willing to hang around in the world with their head on their trousers?
"
Hearing this, Jia Qiang was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I've learned a lesson."
Not to mention the present, it is also the past life. There are more than thousands of people who have fallen into poverty overnight due to serious illness, or even lost their families.
After a pause, Jia Qiang said: "As long as he can work hard for us, his family will have enough food and clothing. The old will be supported and the young will learn. Young people can also find a well-paid job to make a living."
Aunt Sun smiled and said, "That's what Xiaojing told them. They are also willing to work hard and are studying Mandarin attentively. Otherwise, if they go to the capital and speak Yangzhou dialect, their lies will be exposed."
After saying this, Aunt Sun suppressed her smile again and said to Jia Qiang: "Now that we are a family, there are some things that are hard to say, but I still say them out. It's up to you whether you listen or not."
Jia Qiang said hurriedly: "Aunt Sun, just say it."
In his previous life, he was just an engineering student, and his highest position was just a class study committee member. Although he had read a lot of books, he was still an old keyboard warrior. He knew a little bit about organizational structure, but most of it was just random talk without asking for a deep understanding. How much did he know about it?
What is the ability of the superior?
The only saving grace is to be self-aware and know to seek truth from facts. Professional matters must be left to professionals and listen to professional opinions.
He would never commit the joke of "no one knows the world better than me"...
Lao Jianghu like Aunt Sun is the person he needs to listen to carefully.
Aunt Sun was obviously very satisfied with his attitude.
After traveling around the world for so many years, I have met many people from all walks of life. Why can't I see that Jia Qiang is sincerely asking for advice, rather than making excuses?
So she became more and more willing to tell her true intention: "I heard from Xiaojing, Bai, Wu, Shen, those masters responsible for ambushes and assassinations from the people left behind by the Zhou family, you don't want to take any of them?"
Jia Qiang said "hmm" and said truthfully: "As I told Aunt Sun before, I will not let Aunt Sun and your disciple Sun Qin work for me to assassinate me. The sky net is meticulous and not leaking, so that
If you become addicted to doing the same thing, you will destroy yourself sooner or later.”
Aunt Sun nodded with great satisfaction, then shook her head and said with a smile: "You are a very smart and understanding person, but you are also a bit pedantic and confused! If you don't kill, but only guard, don't they know how to kill?"
Don't think that the Jinsha Gang like Lao Ye and Xiao Jing are the real gangs and lakes. They are far from it. They can live peacefully just because they are a bunch of hard-working people and don't have any decent disputes over their interests.
Fights between salt merchants are just fights. Although they don't kill people at every turn, assassinating important figures and even family members of the opponent's family is commonplace. If Yangzhou Prefecture is like this, isn't it like this in the capital city?
Although I am just a dirty woman from Yangzhou Prefecture and don’t have much experience, I have heard from Comrade Lu Lin that some people took money from people in the capital and made the prince of a certain prince fall from his horse and die, and some made a prime minister.
The young man fell into the water and died.
By the way, there is another thing that you probably don’t know. It was around the 22nd or 23rd year of Jingchu. How did a military fighter named Sun come home to Dingyou? How did his father die? "
Jia Qiang was horrified when she heard this. She was shocked for a while and was speechless. Finally, she asked softly: "Is it true or not?"
Aunt Sun waved her hands and said: "I don't know whether it is true or not, but with this statement, how can it be groundless? Apart from other things, there are many experts in the Yanyuan Yamen, who work for the Saltyyuan master.
When I came in, I was stared at. Later, perhaps the master of the salt hospital spoke up and stared at me for four or five days before I withdrew.
Brother Qiang, you must never have the intention to harm others, and you must never have the intention to guard against others.
Therefore, although people like that cannot go around committing evil deeds, they are certainly indispensable."
Li Fu, who had been silent for the whole time, slowly spoke: "What your Aunt Sun said makes some sense, but it's not bluffing. Don't be frightened. You were right in not letting people assassinate others. Capital City
With the Xiuyi Guards around, anyone who dares to do these things will be punished by the Nine Tribes once they are found out.
It is said that nobles have embroidered guards who hide in the dark in their homes, both to monitor and to protect. How can there be an airtight wall in the world? Not to mention talking nonsense everywhere? If someone really harmed the prince of the palace and the prime minister, then this person and the
The master behind him must also die without a burial place.
Therefore, it is okay to raise some people to defend others, or it is okay to use a sap to vent your anger. It is best not to think about killing people."
Jia Qiang nodded when he heard this, but he was more inclined to what Aunt Sun said.
When it comes to this kind of defense, it is better to go too far than to be careless!
In my previous life, I had always heard that the struggle between the upper class and the higher-ups was fierce, but I never had a concrete impression.
Now hearing Aunt Sun say this, how could it not make his hair stand on end?
Besides, how did Jia Zhen die...
However, what Li Fu said is not unreasonable.
But if this is true, then what Li Jing did was really risky...
Thinking of this, Jia Qiang became a little scared. If Li Jing made a mistake that day and fell into the hands of Xiu Yiwei, then even if he really regretted his death, he would not be able to atone for his sin.
From now on, you should never do this kind of thing again.
Naturally, he didn't know that Jia Zhen's body had actually been inspected by a top official in the Xiuyi Guards, and that Ning'antang, where Jia Zhen lived, had also been inspected.
However, in this era, murder and killing people are ultimately limited to those methods.
When poison is used to kill people, people who are poisoned to death always have some classic symptoms, such as dark complexion, bleeding from all the body's orifices, silver needles turning black when inserted, etc.
In addition to the use of poison, there are also various other killing methods, which are well documented in Xiuyi Guards.
If Jia Zhen died of homicide within these scopes, the matter would have become a big deal and caused an uproar.
However, he was killed by illness, and there were no symptoms of poisoning at all, and there were no wounds on his body. There was no record of such a death method even in the Xiuyi Guards.
Only then did I pass this level quietly...
After a moment of silence, Jia Qiang said to Aunt Sun: "In that case, I'll ask Aunt Sun to help Xiaojing recruit some people in this field. Don't be stingy with money, just one. The people you recruit must have complete families."
Aunt Sun: "..."
The master is right, this noble family member has a dark heart.
…
"Ah! Brother Qiang is here!"
After coming out of Li Fu's courtyard, it was already the end of Haishi. When it was almost midnight, Jia Qiang came to the guest house where Xue's family lived. She was hesitant to go in, but suddenly there was a sound of surprise behind her.
Jia Qiang turned around and saw Bao Qin, wearing a sapphire blue and white silk brocade dress, standing under the lamp with a pretty face.
Jia Qiang said "Huh", looked behind her, and asked, "Where are you going so late?"
Bao Qin said with a smile: "I went to listen to the opera with Lin Chu and Xiang Ling."
Jia Qiang said amusedly: "You asked Xiao Sixi and the others to sing again?"
The twelve-member opera troupe that Jia Qiang sent Daiyu to was called the Xiao Sixi Troupe, because they were selected from the Bai family's Sixi Troupe. They were twelve little girls who were all quite talented in opera.
These little girls were originally purchased by the Bai family from all over the south of the Yangtze River. They had been practicing for at least four or five years, and they had long lost contact with their families.
Because they were similar in age, Bao Qin and Lin Chu were willing to play with Xiang Ling, and they got to know each other quickly.
Bao Qin chuckled and said, "I don't even sing seriously, it's just you and me making fun of each other... Since Brother Qiang is here, why don't you go in?"
Jia Qiang said: "I'm worried it's too late and will disturb my uncle and aunt's rest."
Bao Qin smiled and said: "Every year when we are thirty, my parents don't sleep much and have to stay up late. Brother Qiang, come in quickly!"
Jia Qiang nodded and smiled: "Then let's go. I guess your cousin has pestered your brother to death again."
Sure enough, when Jia Qiang and Bao Qin pushed the door open together, they saw Xue Pan drinking and drinking with Xue Pan.
It’s just that Xue Pan looked like he was dancing and singing happily, while Xue Biao had a wry smile on his face and was tired of coping.
Fortunately, I saw the arrival of the savior...
"Second brother is here! Say hello to second brother!"
Xue Pan took the opportunity to escape from Xue Pan and called to say hello. After Jia Qiang called out, he looked at Xue Pan who was shaking his head and calling him anxiously and said, "I'll go inside to say hello first."
Xue Pan lost his temper when he heard this, and just raised his head and cried out in pain: "Brother Qiang, brother, I'm almost bored! I finally recovered from my injury a while ago and can go out to play, but I met you and was assassinated.
, and they have kept me around until today. When I came out of Beijing, I wanted to play Gaole Gaole, but I ended up sitting in jail for more than half a month on the boat. When I arrived at Yangzhou Prefecture, I was first beaten by the Qi family’s ball, and I lay there for more than ten days.
, now I will simply be detained until the Chinese New Year. Why is my life so miserable!"
He drank too much and screamed as if he was singing.
Xue Biao felt that his face was dull, but Bao Qin chuckled.
Maybe in her opinion, this big-headed cousin is indeed unlucky.
Jia Qiang waved her hand and said: "If you bear with me a little longer, I will send someone to follow you out for a walk tomorrow and have a rest early. After the New Year, you can probably go back to Beijing."
Hearing this, Xue Pan woke up and said excitedly: "You can go back to Beijing after the Chinese New Year? Brother Qiang, let's go back together and kill that bastard from Zhao Guogong's family!"
Jia Qiang asked funnyly: "How to do it?"
To be continued...
