Chapter 73 Finding a way out
After Hua An and others left, Jia Qiang sat quietly in Juyi Hall for a long time.
Not only did he not get carried away and become frivolous and excited because of the Emperor's praise again, but he had a solemn expression on his face.
Li Jing has been waiting by the side, and she is very proud that the young man in front of her can win the praise of the supreme master in the palace.
But she was a little confused. It was obviously a good thing, but why was Jia Qiang's face so heavy?
However, she had come from all over the world and knew that she could not disturb Jia Qiang at this time, so she could only wait quietly.
After a long time, Jia Qiangfang exhaled softly and focused her eyes again.
His heart was indeed heavy, because he thought that the Supreme Emperor must not be bored, so he praised a white boy in front of Emperor Long'an, the kings of the clan, and several respected veterans.
He ventured to guess that this move was probably because the Supreme Emperor wanted to use him as a chess piece to defeat the emperor and ministers of Long'an.
For the sake of posthumous name.
When he met the Holy Master at Zuixian Tower last time, he noticed that the Emperor's face was pale and his health was not very good.
There weren't many things that could make him so anxious.
Now when we talk about Jia Qiang again, it must be because of what he said that day about the emperor's feelings.
This allowed the Supreme Emperor to mention Jia Qiang twice in just ten months, praising him for his loyalty and filial piety, in order to punish those who were unfaithful and unfilial...
To Jia Qiang himself, the Emperor's move seemed like a flower bedecked in flames, but in fact it put him in an extremely dangerous situation.
When the Supreme Emperor was alive, naturally no one dared to do anything to Jia Qiang.
But once the Supreme Emperor Long Yu passed away, especially, he took advantage of Jia Qiang's "false words" to gain the posthumous reputation he wanted.
Those in power who are dissatisfied with them will only vent their resentment and anger on the "initiator".
Jia Qiang thought to herself that no matter how stubborn she was, she would not be able to withstand such a power of earth-shattering power!
This is almost a desperate situation...
Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Perhaps when the Supreme Emperor praised him in Zuixian Tower that day, he had already thought about how to use his chess piece.
There is no doubt that the Supreme Emperor is a very capable emperor. He has been in power for thirty years and has done many great things that have contributed to the country.
Suppressing the heroes of Yuanping was one of the biggest events.
Thirty years ago, in the fifth year of Jingchu, the Supreme Emperor, who had been on the throne for five years and had a stable throne, in order to completely suppress the almost uncontrollable power of the Yuanping heroes in the capital, he gambled on the dignity of the emperor and took out a copy of the imperial edict of the ancestors and forcibly moved the capital.
!
Leaving the impenetrable capital of Jinling surrounded by noble forces, the new capital of Shenjing was established in the relatively harsh and cold place of Yanjing.
With just this one tactic, the vitality of the heroes was severely damaged.
After that, the Supreme Emperor allowed them to divide and win over each other little by little. It took ten years to finally unite them completely.
From this, we can see that the Supreme Emperor's skills are superb and the emperor's power is unfathomable and difficult to find throughout the ages.
However, everyone in the world also knows that the Supreme Emperor is an emperor who likes extravagant enjoyment and enjoys great achievements.
Especially in the later period of the administration, due to its tolerance towards corrupt officials, the officialdom of Yan Dynasty became increasingly corrupt and its influence was extremely evil.
According to normal rules, it will be difficult for him to get a good title after his death.
But Jia Qiang's words were like a stone that could mend the sky for him, allowing him to obtain a temple title comparable to the founding emperors Gaozu and Shizu even after his death.
As for what impact this matter will have on Jia Qiang...
Will the Supreme Emperor care?
of course not!
Perhaps, the Supreme Emperor knew that he had brought enough benefits to Jia Qiang.
In the eyes of this Supreme Being, these benefits should be enough for Jia Qiang to be willing to die for them.
But obviously, Jia Qiang cannot have this plan...
But, how much room is there for him to choose?
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
Li Jing asked with concern, perhaps because she saw Jia Qiang's face was too serious.
Jia Qiang came back to her senses, glanced at her, and said solemnly: "Go and call brother Yun, and invite the two elders as well."
Seeing that his expression and tone were solemn, Li Jing did not dare to delay and hurriedly asked someone to call Jia Yun. She went to greet the two elders herself.
Now Jia Yun, on behalf of Jia Qiang, holds the secret recipe for barbecue, sits in the Jinsha Gang, and helps coordinate and distribute various businesses.
There are many people in the Jinsha Gang who are fighting and killing, but there is no one as smart as Jia Yun.
Not long after, Jia Yun hurried over. When she saw Jia Qiang, she smiled and asked, "What's so urgent?"
Jia Qiang raised her eyes and glanced at him, then said calmly: "We'll talk about it later."
A little while later, Li Jing and Zhang and Hong, two elders, arrived. Jia Qiang said to Jia Yun and the two elders: "I have called you here for three things. First, our cooperation partners will increase, not just the Marquis of Huai'an.
The conditions are the same as those of the Huai'an Marquis Mansion. You will earn a lot of money, but the pressure will also be great, so you must be prepared."
Jia Yun's expression changed after hearing this, but then she smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, last time I sent someone to tell the merchants at Caishikou to buy more spices and peppers that we need. We will be back soon if we count the days.
And I have saved a lot of money before, which is enough to cope with it for the time being."
The two elders didn't care about these things, they only knew that they could make more money, so they both said happily: "Don't worry, uncle, we will definitely listen to Master Yun's instructions."
Jia Qiang nodded and said: "The second thing, brother Yun, you have to take charge of the Jinsha Gang on behalf of the young gang leader."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, even Li Jing.
However, she was not as surprised as the two elders, but asked with concern: "But what do you want me to do?"
Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "We will serve the old gang leader and go to Jinmen to seek medical treatment. If we can't get medical treatment in Jinmen, we will go to the south."
After that, he warned Jia Yun: "The reason why you are in charge of the Jinsha Gang is not to interfere in the gang's affairs. All matters within the gang are handled by the two elders. The reason why you are in charge is so that when something big happens, you can
If you go to find Feng Ziying in my name, you can also go to the Huai'an Marquis Mansion for help, do you understand?"
Jia Yun hurriedly said: "I understand, it's just you, Brother Qiang..."
Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "As long as you understand, the young gang leader is my roommate. She only has one father alive. As long as we can be saved, we will do our best to save her at all costs. Internally and externally,
Don’t hide anything, just say it so straightforwardly.”
Hearing this, Jia Yun nodded thoughtfully and asked, "What about the third thing?"
Jia Qiang said: "Over there at Qingta Temple, I have the decoration drawings and requirements for the house on Xixie Street on the desk in my study. You go find a good craftsman to go in and renovate it. Remember, you must strictly follow the drawings. As for the requirements,
The money spent... There is a kang cabinet on the front kang in the left suite of the study, and in the second drawer on the right there is a stack of paper, which is a prescription. Within three days, there will be someone from Dongsheng Cloth Shop, one of the eight major cloth shops in the capital.
When they come to see me, you just tell them directly that the prescription they need is worth thirty thousand taels of silver. They will give you the silver. When the time comes, you can use this silver to decorate the house on Xixie Street. If they
If you don't come, or you don't want to pay 30,000 taels of silver, you can go to Hengsheng Cloth Shop to find Wang Shouzhong and tell him that I need the silver and I will withdraw it from him for the time being and I will give it to him when I come back. Do you remember?"
Jia Yun took a deep breath, nodded and said: "I remember." She paused but felt a little uneasy and said: "Brother Qiang, what's wrong with you..."
Jia Qiang did not answer, but waved her hand and said: "From today on, you will have someone by your side." He said to the two elders Zhang and Hong: "The safety of my clan brother will be left to you two.
"
The two elders heard so many things and figures that they had never dared to think about in the past, and they were in awe. After hearing Jia Qiang's words, they stood up and promised: "I, the Jinsha Gang, will never let Mr. Yun suffer a little bit."
Bully!"
Jia Qiang said softly: "I'm not worried about the outside world. But if anyone from the Jia family on Rongning Street comes, please remember that this deal belongs to Li Jing and the Jinsha Gang, not me, Jia Qiang.
It's mine, let alone Brother Yun's. If they want to steal the barbecue business, you should go to the Huai'an Marquis Mansion to make the decision."
In the Juyi Hall, the atmosphere was so solemn that one could hardly breathe.
For the Jinsha Gang, the pressure brought by those high-ranking powerful people is really unbearable.
Seeing this, Jia Qiang smiled and said: "But this kind of thing is basically impossible to happen. No matter how greedy and stupid Jia Zhen is, she can't offend five Yuanping Hou Mansion at the same time."
As soon as these words came out, the two old Jianghu elders finally breathed out and asked: "I wonder when the uncle and the young gang leader will set off?"
Jia Qiang glanced at Li Jing, who remained silent and allowed him to make the decision, and said: "Tomorrow noon at the latest, I will ask Tietou and the others to charter the boat later."
The three of them looked at each other, said nothing, and left together with deep thoughts.
After the three of them left, Jia Qiang apologized to Li Jing: "It happened too suddenly. Don't blame me for overstepping my authority. As for the specific reason, I will tell you in detail on the way out."
Li Jing smiled and said: "I listen to you."
Today, the Jinsha Gang and Jia Qiang both prosper and suffer.
Without Jia Qiang's help, they would not be able to get through the Huai'an Marquis Mansion.
What's more, now Li Jing is truly devoted to Jia Qiang.
But then Jia Qiang's words made Li Jing feel depressed:
"Xiao Jing, do you know that a girl about your age is giving birth to a baby? What kind of gift should I give her?"
