Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　"Oh?" Mo Shunzhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Did your master fall in love with his daughter? She refused to run away? Lao Gu, your master is not kind!" The soldiers laughed.

　　Butler Gu stomped his feet: "General Mo, I'll tell you the truth. Then Luo Zixiang has an account book in his hand, which records the private activities of our Gu family and other families, including your grandfather. Our master is also listed. Just let him hand over the ledger, otherwise he has already colluded with outsiders, and the person who injured us ran out of the city overnight. This is a big matter, our master told General Mo to be careful. Once the ledger falls into the hands of outsiders, we will immediately Catastrophe is coming."

　　Mo Guerjian heard it so seriously, and hurriedly asked, "Where did the Luo family father and daughter escape from?"

　　Butler Gu flashed an embarrassed look and replied, "Their family lives on the front street of Xumen Inner Road, and they must have been out of tune from Xumen. Then Luo Xiangyu is a mentally handicapped girl, so she must not be able to run fast."

　　Mo Guerilla shouted again: "When did they run away?"

　　Butler Gu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Probably this afternoon..."

　　"Afternoon?" Mo Guerji said angrily, "Then you only tell me now? It's so big out of the city, where can I find it for you? Tell me!"

　　Butler Gu affirmed: "Don't get angry with the guerrillas, Master Luo is from Henan, and he will definitely go north."

　　Mo Guerilla thought about it for a moment, and finally agreed: "I'll send troops and horses out of the city to arrest people. It's just that you tell Gu En, this is the last time. See off!"

　　The personal soldiers sent Butler Gu away, and Mo Guerilla also dressed.

　　At this time, there was a noise from the outer street.The personal soldiers came to report: "The thieves have left the city, and the prefect's yamen is searching everywhere!"

　　Mo Guerji said with a smile: "It's just so convenient for us to do things! Let's go!"

　　So Mo Guerilla took hundreds of soldiers all the way to the east, and when he reached Daoqian Street, a group of soldiers came across him.Mo Guerilla saw who was coming, and hurriedly reined in the reins and stopped the horse in the middle of the street.

　　"Master General!"

　　Shen Xin stopped the horse, didn't care about Mo Shunzi's lack of military salute, and said with a smile, "Where is General Mo going?"

　　Mo Shunzhi also smiled and said, "I heard that the government office has left the thieves, and there is chaos on the street. At the end of the day, I will bring my brothers to fight and kill many thieves who were looting and looting along the way. I don't want to meet Master Shen."

　　Shen Xindao: "General Mo has worked hard. In the area ahead, there are already our brothers in the middle camp to clean up. General Mo, please come back?"

　　Mo Shunzhi said with a smile: "Unfortunately, Jiang Zhifu told the last general that a thief had escaped from the city, and the military preparation yamen ordered me to go out of the city to arrest him immediately."

　　Shen Xin pondered: "Does General Mo have a Daotai warrant?"

　　How could Mo Shunzhi have such a thing as a warrant?

　　He just smiled and said, "Sir Shen, how did this matter get faked? Don't let it go, you will need to leave the city immediately." After he said that, he urged the horses to leave.

　　"Stop!" Shen Xin drew out the matching sword and said sternly, "Mo Shunzhi, you'd better show me the warrant now!"

　　Mo Shunzhi was not afraid of Shen Xin on weekdays, but he moved without orders today, so he was really uneasy.He changed his face and said with a smile: "Sir Shen, the warrant is in my yamen, wait for me to get it!" Seeing that the road ahead would not work, Mo Shunzhi immediately thought of stepping on the oil and slipping away.

　　But how can Shen Xin make him wishful?As soon as he waved, the soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward and surrounded Mo Shunzhi in a semicircle.

　　Mo Shunzhi was furious and shouted, "Shen Xin, what are you doing? Do you want a fire?"

　　Shen Xin smiled and said, "Mo Shunzhi, if you move troops without order, you are rebelling! I want to blame you!"

　　Mo Shunzhi also drew out his sword and shouted: "Shen Xin, how did I rebel? If you want to take me, it depends on what your original is!" Blocked.

　　Mo Shunzhi's face changed greatly, and he roared fiercely from the outside and inside, "Shen, do you really want to fight? You must think about it clearly, my grandfather is the governor of Caoyun! Even if I am planted this time, you will not be able to escape the benefits. !"

　　Shen Xin laughed loudly, "I am Shen Xin standing in the sky, afraid of who will come? Brothers, take down Mo Shunzhi for me!"

　　Mo Shunzhi said with the sword: "Shen Xin, you have no right to arrest me!"

　　What he said was very reasonable. Although Shen Xin was a general, he was not Mo Shunzhi's direct boss. They had only one common boss, and that was... Jia Zhen!

　　So, Jia Zhen came out.

　　He stood up from behind Shen Xin and said to Mo Shunzhi, "I have the right to arrest you!"

　　Mo Shunzhi mocked: "Who are you?"

　　Jia Zhen took out the imperial decree from her arms and held it in the air. "I am the Admiral of Suzhou Songjiang Changzhou Zhenjiang Military Affairs Commander personally appointed by the emperor, Ningyang Bo Jiazhen! Would you like to show you the imperial edict?"

　　Mo Shunzhi's face changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "Aren't you still in Yangzhou?"

　　Jia Zhen laughed and said, "If I were still in Yangzhou, I wouldn't have seen today's good show!" After that, she shouted loudly, "Mo Shunzhi, you gave false orders, committed chaos, and privately divided food and wages and forced expropriation. Taxes, forcibly occupying people's women, and bullying people are unforgivable sins, let me take them down quickly!"

　　Shen Xin and others echoed loudly: "Follow the order!"

　　Li Song, Zhang Deli and others stepped forward immediately.Mo Shunzhi's personal soldiers wanted to stop him, but Li Song hacked him to death with a backhand knife, and all the personal soldiers retreated.Zhang Deli pulled Mo Shunzhi off the horse and tied it with ropes.Then Mo Shunzhi still shouted: "I don't accept it, I don't accept it! What evidence do you have?"

　　Jia Zhen thought he was noisy and waved his hand. Li Song immediately pulled out a dark cloth and stuffed it into Mo Shunzhi's mouth.The strong pungent smell made Mo Shunzhi faint immediately.

　　Jia Zhen walked to the front battalion soldiers who were at a loss, and said loudly: "Mo Shun is the only one who made mistakes, and it has nothing to do with you! From today onwards, all of you will obey my orders, those who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and those who have done evil will be punished! No?"

　　Former battalion soldier, look at me, I look at you, finally one person dropped his sword and knelt on the ground: "Follow the order of the Admiral!"

　　One or two, the power of example is infinite.After a while, all the soldiers in the former battalion surrendered to Jia Zhen.

　　Seeing that the situation was set, Jia Zhen said to Shen Xin, "You are responsible for appeasing the former camp. Tomorrow morning, I want all the guerrillas in the camps to be guarded, and all of them go to the admiral's yamen to point out."

　　Shen Xin hurriedly dismounted from his horse and said solemnly, "The last general takes orders!"

　　In fact, Jia Zhen wanted to imitate the old man and went to the former camp alone to sleep for one night.But after thinking about it, I was still too timid to go.

　　Obviously there are red sleeves and fragrance, who is willing to do dangerous work?

　　Jia Zhen yawned and returned to Hengshudian, sleeping with Zhuer Laner in her arms.

　　Jia Zhen sleeps comfortably, but many people have trouble sleeping tonight.

　　Gu's house was in the main hall, Gu En didn't know how many antique porcelains were broken.He wrote several letters overnight and distributed them everywhere.It also specifically explained: "You go to Jinling and meet the second master, tell him not to come back, and then try to meet the master Zhen Yingjia. He said that the matter is extremely urgent, and you must save the Gu family." Several dead men promised And go.

　　At this time, he had a premonition that a catastrophe was coming, and he had to plan for the worst.

　　It was night, and there was no sleep in the house.

　　The same situation also appeared in the Wang family on the other side of the city.Speaking of this Wang family, and Wang Ziteng are still clansmen, and they are also a tyrant in Suzhou.But the Wang family is confident and not as flustered as the Gu family. The owner of the family, Mr. Wang, is used to seeing the wind and clouds, and the old god said: "His Jia family and our Wang family are friends in the world, and the broken bones are still attached to the tendons!"

　　As everyone knows, Jia Zhen and Rongguo Mansion split up and have nothing to do with their royal family...except Wang Yu.

　　The next morning, when Jia Zhen walked leisurely to the Admiral's Yamen, the White Tiger Hall was already full of people.　　

　　Jia Zhen sat high in the hall, and again took out the imperial decree and swaggered it again.

　Jia Zhen pretended to shout: "No ceremony!" It was officially taking over the military power.

　　Of course, strictly speaking, there are still some flaws. For example, why didn't he take office?All these little things are ignored!They even have the imperial decree, but haven't they been on guard yet?Don't you know that the Admiral's guard is still in Yangzhou?

　　Jia Zhen had a friendly but not dignified conversation with them.They all firmly expressed that they must unite around Admiral Jia and fight the evil forces to the end!

　　In the city of Suzhou, the people who were frightened last night went out of the city to take refuge one after another.But when they arrived at the city gate, they were told that the thieves had already subdued the law last night and urged the people to go home.There is a saying that it is hard to leave the homeland, and most of the people believe it, and bring home the big bag and the small bag.There are also a few stubborn ones, and the soldiers guarding the gate occasionally have a bad temper and beat them hard, and most of them are also honest and obedient.

　　Encountering a very small number of thorns, those who wanted to leave the city to flee for their lives, the guards at the city gate had no choice but to ask, in such a hurry to go out, were the thieves with the party and wanted to go out to tip off?

　　In short, from now on, Suzhou City will be restricted from entering and exiting, and even a tael of silver will never fly out of the city.

　　Just when the Gu family was in a state of panic, Jia Zhen stayed in the admiral's yamen and stopped moving.Apart from sending people to monitor the Gu family and Wang family, there was no action.

　　The old man Wang also smiled proudly: "I know that his Jia family will not fight against our Wang family!" He also speculated: "Admiral Jia has assumed the new position. As landlords, how can we not take care of him?"

　　The businessmen and officials who got the wind all crowded to Jia Zhen Yamen to give gifts, such as gold and silver jewelry, coral and jade, boxes and boxes, beautiful women and beautiful women.Jia Zhen did not refuse anyone who came, but registered them one by one.Later, Daotai and the prefect yamen also came to send invitations, and Jia Zhen also generously attended the banquet.

　　For a time, up and down a group of peace.Even Gu En couldn't figure out what medicine Jia Zhen sold in the gourd.

　　It's actually very simple, he is waiting for the emperor's reply!

　　There are so many people involved, how to arrest them?arrest those people?The point is, to let go of those people?

　　It will be very troublesome to get one wrong, Jia Zhen is afraid of trouble!

　　What's more troublesome is that his yamen has already accepted thirty-eight beauties of all kinds, two of them are blond girls from Russia, who can only watch all day, but can't start, that's quite uncomfortable!

Chapter [-]: Firearms and Home Search

　　In the Daming Palace of Shenjing, the emperor was looking through the books that Jia Zhen had sent [-] li urgently. There were more than [-] books in total.The head of the eunuch, Dai Quan, looked in anxiously. Judging from his years of experience in serving his master, this was probably a prelude to the coming of the storm.How many days has Brother Jane arrived?Oh, according to the report of the spies, he was sick in Yangzhou, and he has not yet taken office. Why did he report the evidence?He desperately wanted to know what was in those books, but the emperor strictly ordered no one to approach the hall, and he had no choice.For today's plan, we can only spread the news immediately, and let them make their own plans!

　　Thinking of this, Dai Quan quietly turned around and left, and whispered a few words to a little eunuch at the corner.When he came back, the emperor recruited a hundred households of the Jinyi army to enter the temple and handed him a secret edict.The hundred households of the Jinyi Army are a stranger, and as soon as they come out of the hall, they look like strangers should not approach them.Dai Quan originally planned to come forward to chat a few words, but who would have thought that these hundred households regarded Dai Quan as nothing, and went straight away!Dai Quan is also the eunuch in charge of the palace of Daming Palace, a mere hundred households with a big sesame seed, dare to ignore him, really eat the guts of bears and leopards!Let's find out where the holy place is!

　　Dai Quan looked at the direction he was leaving, Mr. Zhen, please ask yourself for more happiness!

　　At this time, Jia Zhen, who was in Suzhou, was not at all easy. He was like a bow full of strings.Therefore, both the hunter and the prey are nervous. Once the hunter breaks the string, or the prey dog ​​jumps off the wall, it will be out of control.

　　In the first few days, the merchants and officials still couldn't figure out the details, and Jia Zhen was reclusive, and neither of them dared to act rashly.When Timur's two hundred armors arrived, Jia Zhen suddenly became arrogant.

　　For example, today, Jia Zhen walked into the Suzhou Commercial Exchange with her hands behind her back.

　　This is a tall building with five bays and three floors.It was crowded with people, and businessmen from all over the world came and went. How many foreigners did Jia Zhen even see?What a rarity!

　　Er, correct me, it's not uncommon to see foreigners, there are two foreign girls in his yamen!But it is very rare to meet foreign businessmen here!

　　Jia Zhen immediately became interested and ordered Yu Qian to call them over.After a while, three foreigners with dumbfounded faces came over, speaking strange and stammering Chinese, and asked, "Excuse me, may I have business with us? We are from far away Europa..."

　　Jia Zhen interrupted them and asked directly, "What's your name? Are you French? English? Dutch? Or Spanish?"

　　The three foreigners were surprised for a while, and one of them said blond hair: "Dear sir, my name is John, and I'm from England. The taller one is Thomas, who is Dutch, and the other is Hans, who is Prussian. I don't know. Do you have something to sell to us, sir, or do you want to buy from us?"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "It depends on what you have?"

　　John also smiled and said, "Sir, we have brought high-quality bird's nest, hematoxylin, silver, betel nut, ebony, yalan, rice, sea cucumber, deer breast, cowhide, tortoiseshell, and firewood on the two ships this time. Cotton will wait until Susong trade, and then bring back cotton cloth, magnetic ware, cinnamon, stone strips, white paper, tile, square brick, umbrella, paper, ink, stone mill, twine, earth tea, rock sugar, medicinal materials, etc., as long as the price is right , we're going to fill up the ship and go back to Europe."

　　Jia Zhen pouted and didn't answer, but instead asked: "I remember that the imperial court only opened customs in Songjiang, how can you go directly to Suzhou to trade? If the government finds out, all of your goods and mine will be confiscated, aren't you afraid? "

　　That John chuckled: "You Chinese have a good saying, there are policies above, and countermeasures below." He compared a gesture that is common all over the world, "As long as I have money, I can go to Jinling, and I can even use the country. In the name of the envoy, go to the Shenjing to meet your emperor!"

　　Jia Zhen frowned secretly, even the envoy can fake it, what else would they dare not?This account will be recorded for the time being, and the crime will be issued at that time!

　　"Do you have muskets?" Jia Zhen asked suddenly.

　　The Hans next to him lit up, but was stopped by Thomas and said with a smile, "We are all legal businessmen! We never sell prohibited items!"

　　Jia Zhen laughed.Timur proudly said: "Our grandfather is Uncle Ning Yang, the Admiral of Jiangnan. Whether it is legal or not in this land of the four houses in the south of the Yangtze River is up to our grandfather to decide!"

　　Jia Zhen glanced at Timur in amazement, this kid has made progress recently!

　　The three of John exclaimed for a while: "Oh, my almighty God!" Jia Zhen was the highest-ranking Chinese official they had ever met, and she was also an earl!

　　So, the three of them immediately became enthusiastic and took the initiative to let Jia Zhen and his party into the VIP room they just rented.

　　As soon as he sat down, Hans asked impatiently: "Lord Count, you said you needed a musket? I just brought a group over here, I wonder if your lord is interested?"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Let me guess, did you bring a 1730-style brown Bess flintlock gun from the Ying country, or a French 1743-style rifle? If it's from your own country, then it goes without saying. With all due respect, are you still using arquebuses in Prussia? That thing, I have already eliminated it for [-] years.”

　　Hans looked embarrassed, and then said anxiously: "I have ten, no, twenty-three brown Bess! Is that John?"John was stunned for a second, then nodded quickly, "Yes, we have twenty-three! Thomas, don't you have eight French guns there?" Thomas woke up: "I have the latest French rifle!"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said, "I want all of them. Next time you come again, I hope you will bring more. If you have drawings and production lines, it will be even better! The price is not a problem!"

　　Hans got excited and was about to go back to carry the gun at once.And John and the others wanted to establish further contact with Jia Zhen, how could they go back so easily?

　　But at this moment, the exchange's office has already heard the news.All of a sudden, Jia Zhen was invited out.John and the others could only watch Jia Zhen leave.
