Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 75 Assassination
At Gudu Wharf in Yangzhou, Daiyu reluctantly bid farewell to Lin Ruhai, and accompanied Jia Ying to board the ship heading north.

The result of the impeachment dispute in the court came out. What surprised the Jiangnan officials was that they expended so much energy, but what they got in return was thunder and rain. The court only issued a decree of reprimand, but the two The salt merchants in the Huaihe River paid a huge price, the Cantonese merchants and Shanxi merchants won, and of course Lin Ruhai!
It's just that in Jia Ying's view, the price Lin Ruhai paid was not small, it's just that everyone couldn't see it.

Although he tried his best to conceal his hemoptysis, Jia Ying still noticed it, but he didn't point it out!This is the last dignity of a father, and he doesn't want to show his vulnerable side in front of his daughter.

Although Jia Ying has two lifetimes of experience, he is not a god and does not know medical skills!
The only way Jia Ying can think of is to live well!But. is this possible?Lin Ruhai is at the center of the political vortex!
"Brother Ying Er, Daddy will be fine, right?" Daiyu was full of worry!
Jia Ying smiled gently, and said in relief: "You have to trust my aunt, he has the ability to deal with everything! Just like this time, won't he win?"

Jia Ying didn't mention Lin Ruhai's physical condition because he didn't want to lie to the girls around him!
"Go back to the cabin, the wind on the canal is a bit strong, you can't bear it!" Jia Ying softly comforted her.

Daiyu smiled sadly, and went back to the cabin accompanied by Zijuan Xueyan.

However, Jia Ying told Baochun Lvrong: "This journey may not be smooth, you should be prepared, and don't leave Yu'er's side at any time, you understand?"

The two women looked at each other, Baochun said: "Second Master, I will accompany Miss Lin, let Lvrong follow you!"

Jia Ying shook her head and said with a light smile, "Second Master still needs your protection? Be good!"

After finishing speaking, he drove the two girls back to the cabin.

Xi'er, together with several young servants of Jia's family, also held weapons, guarding the bow and stern of the boat, fully on guard.

It's just that it's very peaceful all the way to Yangzhou Mansion!

"Second Master, it's been a long time since we arrived in Huai'an, should we stop to rest at night?" Xi'er asked.

Jia Ying shook her head and said, "Under the banner of the Yangzhou Salt Administration, let all the banknotes pass through, and stop all the way before entering Shandong!"

Xi'er said worriedly: "Second Lord, I'm afraid it will be wrong to play the banner."

Jia Ying chuckled lightly and said, "If someone is really staring at us, even if they don't use the banner, they will know which ship we are on. With the banner, it will be more convenient! Let's go!"

Until nightfall, all the private boats running on the canal were out of service. Only some tank boats with special missions were still on their way overnight. Block until Huai'an is passed.

Only then did I hear Xi'er come to report: "Second Master, it seems that a tank boat capsized in the river ahead, and we are stuck in the middle. I always feel that something is wrong!"

Jia Ying smiled coldly and said, "It's such a coincidence, the northern part of the river has just opened the river, and it's not the season when water transport is busy, so it won't be turned over sooner or later."

"Second Master, there are thieves boarding the boat!"

But another servant saw the iron hook on the side of the boat and exclaimed!
Jia Ying said coldly: "Fire the arrow!"

How could the attendants sent by Jia's mansion not understand martial arts?

When someone draws a bow and shoots!From time to time, there was the sound of screams falling into the water.

On the wide river, there are a few small boats vaguely, thinking that the boat that Jia Ying and his party are on is approaching.

There are no large ships on the canal. Except for the sailed tank boats that escort the cargo, the private boats are relatively small and have low sides.

The building boat that Jia Ying and his party were on had a high side, but a slow speed.

Deng!
A wrist-thick crossbow bolt with an iron chain was nailed into the side panel of the cabin.

Xi'er exclaimed, "Be careful! They have strong crossbows!"

Jia Ying stood guard at the hatch of the ship, keeping his eyes on the ground, always on guard, and pushed back the two Baochun who couldn't resist coming out to check.

He warned: "You guys are better off staying inside, I won't call you, don't come out!"

There were few people on their side, and the thieves finally climbed onto the deck of the building, and a fight was inevitable!

Jia Ying drew his long knife out of its sheath, chopped a thief on the left who was about to turn over the side of the boat into the river, and joined the fight.

He is not good at killing, but it doesn't mean he won't kill!
Xi'er found a few thieves and jumped on them, not worried about her second master.

Back then, the master died of poisoning, and the second master was too young to take revenge. After three years of filial piety, he took him into the territory of the traitorous and attached chieftain of Yizhou, and took his enemy's head back!
The Yi people in southern Xinjiang are much more vicious than these thieves in front of them!Er Ye was only 15 years old that year!
It's just that there are more and more thieves coming up from all around!
The entourage brought by Jia Ying was already injured, and retreated while fighting, and was surrounded by thieves to the middle of the deck.

Jia Ying's clothes are covered with blood, most of them belonged to the enemy, and his right arm was also slashed!

Jia Ying chopped down the two of them, looked at his right arm, and said to himself, "It's a pity that there is no armor!"

Daqian civilians are not allowed to hide pieces of armor privately. This is an express regulation of the imperial court. Once discovered, they will be punished as treason!
Jia's family is honorable, but those who are qualified to wear armor are either dead or drunk all day long.

Jia Ying's father left behind a good armor, but he is still naked now, and he dare not wear it blatantly!
Seeing that the number of thieves finally stopped increasing, Jia Ying tilted her head and shouted:
"Xi'er! Let go of the arrow!"

Woohoo!Two sharp voices resounded above the canal!

Rows of torches were immediately erected on the banks on both sides!

The same is true on several nearby tank boats, the gleaming armor is extraordinarily bright under the light of the torches!
Jia Ying took Xi'er and the others to take advantage of the time when the thief was stupefied, rushed back to the cabin, and closed the cabin door.

This cabin was specially reinforced by Jia Ying. A layer of thick wood boards was added around the cabin, and the windows were also separated by wood boards, so that arrows could not penetrate.

"Fire arrows!"

After hearing the order from the officers and soldiers on both sides of the strait, rows of arrows rained straight towards the building boats!

There were screams outside the cabin!
Daiyu, purple cuckoo and snow geese were huddled together, and they were a little scared. Fortunately, they were accompanied by primrose green velvet, so they would not be frightened.

I don't know how long it took before the screams outside became fragmented.

Only then did Jia Ying take Xi'er and the others out of the cabin again. The deck was full of corpses, and there were still one or two people who were still breathing.

Jia Ying looked around and walked towards one of them.

"Master Zhang!"

A general in armor turned around when he heard the words, and said with a smile to Jia Ying, "My lord, you don't have to be so polite. Zhang is only a thousand households, so you can't call him a master! You just call a certain family by its name." Just do it!"

Jia Ying smiled slightly, doing good deeds, clasped her fists and said, "Mr. Jia, thank you Brother Zhang for saving my life!"

Zhang Qianhu bowed his hands and said: "I am following Master Lin's order to act, you don't have to do this!"

"Can I ask who it is?" Jia Ying looked at the officers and soldiers cleaning the battlefield and asked.

Zhang Qianhu said with a sinister smile: "If it falls into our hands, how can you not speak up! He is a private salt dealer from the Jiangning Canal generation. It is said that the bandit leader's surname is He!"

Jia Ying said again: "How will brother Zhang plan to deal with these people?"

"My lord Lin has told me that if I want to escort the bandits back to Yangzhou, I will send a team to escort the bandits back to Yangzhou, and then I will go north to Beijing with the young master. The boat is full of bloody smell. The young master brought his family members with him, so you might as well go to Cao Cao Get on the boat, just don't dislike me and other soldiers with a bad smell!"

Jia Ying clasped her fists and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your kindness! This trip was able to enter the capital safely thanks to your great help, how can there be any dislike!"

This Zhang Qianhu escorted a million taels of salt to Beijing under Lin Ruhai's order.
