The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 515 Helping Jia Min is Helping Himself
The arrival of Zuo Linliang slightly eased the confrontation between the Jinyi Army and the Jia Mansion.Because Chang An said that she would come later, Tongren Sun did not retreat immediately.

During the raid on Jia's mansion this time, more than one hundred people died, which is naturally a great loss of face.soon.You will become a joke in the mouth of others.

In the more than 100-year history of the Dade Empire, the Jia Mansion was the first one who dared to disobey the emperor's order and start a war with the royal family because of the confiscation of the house.

Naturally, he wished to kill all the people in Jia's mansion, but he had seen with his own eyes the battle just now, and the formidable fighting power shown by the government soldiers when they rescued the current emperor in South Vendura. .

In addition, the emperor had withdrawn his order, so he had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

The arrival of Chang'an proved that Zuo Linliang's words were true.

So Sun Tongren had no choice but to pack up the corpses of those Jinyi soldiers, and withdrew in despair.

The old lady was still sitting there, but Chang An came over.

"Old Madam, Brother Huang has rescinded his order and will no longer search your house. You can leave. However, Qin Keqing's matter, because she has already been imprisoned, it is currently impossible to release her. Anyway, Brother Huang needs a Decent, you resisted the decree and killed so many people, if Qin Keqing is released again, the emperor and the civil and military officials will not be able to explain it."

"However, don't worry, after a while, I will try my best to persuade Brother Huang and help Qin Keqing get rid of the crime as much as possible. Brother Huang has already made the biggest concession in this matter, and this is the final result."

When Chang An said this, Jia Lian and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, Jia Qiang led the people from the government corps to arrive in time, which temporarily prevented the Jinyi Army from taking away all the people in Jia's house.

Although they caused heavy casualties to the Jinyi Army, they also knew that although they could retreat with their own six or seventy people, it was actually an impossible task to take away all the people in the Jia Mansion.

Even if you leave the imperial capital, all places are under the control of the imperial court.The final result was that they were chased and killed by the imperial army that came continuously when they ran out of ammunition and food.

That's why, with the determination to perish together, they completely tore apart the face with the royal family.

Now after Chang'an's dealings, they have come to this result, which has already made them overjoyed.

The old lady naturally understood this too.

"Thank you Chang'an for your efforts, our Jia family will remember His Highness's kindness."

"Don't be too polite, Mrs. Jia. Back then, Jia Min was kind to me for saving my life, so let's pay him back."

Speaking of this, Chang'an couldn't help thinking of when he was chased to nowhere by the Tatars in Wendula Mountain, and finally prepared to commit suicide. scene.

There was an inexplicable pain in my heart.

Brother Huang said that he wanted to invite Jia Min back, but she was actually thinking about it along the way.

She knew there was little hope, but, with a hint of fantasy, she spoke out.

"Brother Huang said to call Jia Min back to serve as the right servant of the Ministry of War. If possible, please tell Jia Min."

"Your Highness, it's not that we don't know how to flatter. When things have come to this point, do you think Brother Ming will come back? However, I will ask someone to convey the message to him. As for whether he will come back, I can't guarantee. Your Highness may I have also heard that, even my words, Brother Ming often does not listen."

"That's good, goodbye."

Several people in Chang'an had disappeared, and the people in Jia's mansion seemed to have not recovered.

That's the end of it?The catastrophe of ransacking the house and beheading is over like this?Is this true or not?

"Old ancestor, it's better for us to leave earlier. If we stay in the imperial capital, there may be another accident at some point."

"Brother Lian is right, you all go back to pack your things and leave early tomorrow morning. Brother Lian, go find someone and ask them to take good care of Brother Rong's wife in the prison. When you see Brother Min Son, let's discuss how to rescue her. Let's all go back and pack up, what are you still doing?"

Everyone agreed and went back in a daze.

"Lai Da, Lai Er, come here."

Seeing the old lady saying hello, Lai Da and Lai Er hurried over.

"Lai Da, Lai Er, where did you go just now? Why didn't I see you?"

"Old ancestor, the servant has been packing things inside."

"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you think the Jia family is over this time and everyone is hiding behind, don't you?"

"Old Ancestor, the slave has been wronged, the slave is a little afraid of death, and thinking that the second master is here, it is useless for the slave to come, so..."

"Hmph, for the sake of telling the truth, I will spare your dog's life this time. After we leave, you lead someone to look after the house. What is left is enough for you to live. I don't expect you Save money, but don’t lose money to me. If there is any plant or tree in this house, if half of it is missing, I will ask Brother Ming to come back and settle the score with you. You also know Brother Ming’s methods. Do it for yourselves."

"Don't worry, the old ancestor. The servant will definitely look after the house and wait for the old ancestor to come back."

"Yuanyang, it's all right, let's go, let's go back. Hu Po, go and pass me the food, I'm so hungry, you don't care about me. You little hoofs, don't you want me to starve to death to be happy? .”

Looking at the back of the old lady, Lai Da's legs were still shaking.

"Brother, go back and change your pants."

Lai Er said.

Lai Da looked down, and it turned out that at some point, he was so frightened that he peed his pants.

Jia Lian summoned Jia Qiang, Shi Song, and Shi Liu.

"Shi Song, Shi Liu, you can't stay here any longer, tell me when you go home, call all of you tomorrow morning, follow us, we'll go to Chief Min."

"Understood, Brother Lian, I'm just waiting for this day."

"Brother Qiang, leave someone on guard at the gate, don't come in, don't go in. Set off tomorrow morning and escort the family to retreat. Send two reliable people to Tianjin Wei to contact the ship first, and follow our route back then. Land at Niuzhuang and go to Beihai."

"Second Uncle Lian, I understand."

After finishing the arrangement here, Jia Lian took Xing'er, got on his horse and left the mansion, and went to the Wucheng Bingma Division.

Walking on Ningrong Street, when people saw him, they all looked at him with unspeakable eyes, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

When they arrived at Bingmasi in Wucheng, Xing'er went in to find Qiu Liang, while Jia Lian waited outside.

After a while, Qiu Liang came out.

"Second brother Lian, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have good fortune. Congratulations on escaping the catastrophe."

Qiu Liang's excitement was beyond words.

"Well, it's just a dying struggle. Thanks to His Highness Chang'an's intervention, it can be regarded as a temporary escape. Otherwise, the net of death has already been broken."

"Now that this matter has spread, it is only the Jia family that has the courage to fight to the death. Which of the other families is not captured without hand? Only Liu Fang, Chen Ruiwen and Ma Shangde escaped by chance, and now the official document has been issued to arrest them Woolen cloth."

"To tell you the truth, Brother Qiu, we are leaving tomorrow, so I came to Brother Qiu for help."

"Is it because of Qin Keqing's affairs? Don't worry, Second Brother Lian, I will find someone to look after her so that she won't be wronged there. Jiang Shilang is in charge of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. This person went to Bukui back then, and later returned to court. At that time, he said a lot of good things to Brother Min, why don't we go meet him together."

"So thank you brother Qiu."

Jia Lian and Jiang Shilang also knew each other, but Qiu Liang was now the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division. He had contacts with the Jia family before, and he was still in partnership with Li Wan in the orange business.The relationship with Jia Min is also very good, with him helping Jiang Mingqian, even if Jia's family is gone, for Qiu Liang's sake, Jiang Shilang will take care of Qin Keqing.

So Jia Lian followed Qiu Liang to Jiang Mingqian's house.

When I went there, it was just in time for dinner, Jiang Mingqian warmly met, and Jia Lian was already hungry, so he ate there.

The Jia family suffered such an accident at this time, it is actually very rare for Jiang Mingqian to entertain him like this.

"Master Jiang, to tell you the truth, my family is leaving tomorrow, so I have one more request to bother you this time."

"Brother Lian, you are welcome. I expected that you would come to me. Isn't it because Qin Keqing is in prison? Don't worry. Although the old man dare not let her go, take good care of her here and don't let her Even if you are wronged, you can still do it.”

"Thank you for your kindness. Here are some bank notes. Please accept them, Mr. Jiang, so that I can buy some food, clothing and supplies for Qin Keqing."

With that said, Jia Lian handed over 3000 taels of bank notes.Jiang Mingqian was also polite and accepted it readily.

"Brother Lian, don't worry, the old man will spend all the money on Qin Keqing, and I won't take a cent of it myself."

"Master Jiang is a man of integrity, which is admirable."

"Where is there any honor, Huaiyuan and I are close friends. At this time, your family is in trouble, so we should help, but people speak lightly and can't help much. Brother Lian please forgive me."

"I can't thank you enough for this, and the Jia family will remember this friendship."

After the matter was explained, the family affairs were complicated, and Jia Lian didn't want to drink. After drinking a few cups, he said goodbye and left.

Leave Qiu Liang and Jiang Mingqian to continue drinking.

The two are also acquaintances, so they don't shy away from talking.

"Unexpectedly, Jia's family fought desperately and survived from a desperate situation. Such an ending is enough to shock the world."

Qiu Liang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Huaiyuan has the grace of saving His Highness Chang'an's life. His Highness Chang'an trained soldiers. He came from Huaiyuan's family. His Highness is also a kind and righteous person. That's why he helped the Jia family when it was in danger."

"Brother Jiang's help is also an act of kindness and righteousness."

"Brother Qiu, you are not an outsider, so I'll tell you the truth. I have a good personal relationship with Huaiyuan, and I still owe him a favor. Today, helping his family is not only to repay the favor, but also to have my own plan."

The favor Jiang Shilang said he owed to Jia Min was referring to his impeachment of Jia Min when he was timid before the battle when he was in Bu Kui.These two things were all concealed by Jia Min for him.

"Oh? This is very interesting."

"Now that treacherous ministers are in power, the government is in chaos, and the rebellion of San Francisco is almost a foregone conclusion. How long do you think the court can last? Now that the emperor has offended all the big families, will the soldiers and horses of the court still be the opponents of San Francisco? ?”

"This matter has almost reached a consensus between the ruling and opposition parties. I don't know what it has to do with the Jia family?"

"Hey, brother Qiu, now that Jia's mansion is in the imperial capital, it's actually just an empty shell. The real power and essence of Jia's mansion is not here at all."

"You mean in Huaiyuan?"

"Brother Qiu has got to the point. I was the imperial envoy of Bu Kui back then, and I can say that I investigated Bu Kui's affairs in depth and meticulously. Let's talk big, if it comes to the understanding of Jia Huaiyuan in this world, if I say second, I don't know much about it. People dare to say the first."

"Huaiyuan's talents are far from being as simple as winning a few battles. For Bu Kui, the achievements in the reform of economic affairs and immigration affairs are the essence. It's just that these essences are given by his military victories. It's just a cover-up, and people don't realize that's the valuable part of doing it."

"Brother Qiu, do you think that now that Huaiyuan is in Beihai, is it really as simple as doing business?"

"Brother Jiang means that Huaiyuan has other plans?"

"Now the world is about to be in chaos, if Huaiyuan comes back, how many people will be his opponents?"

"That's why Brother Jiang is so willing to help the Jia family?"

"Helping Huaiyuan is helping ourselves. Why not do it with little effort?"
