After making a fuss with a few scholars, Jia Huan also broke up with Master He and returned to Liu Yuanli's residence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Secluded in the courtyard. In the inner study, the lights are bright, and Jia Huan is in front of the desk, holding a quill pen, writing and drawing, and meditating alone.

Ruyi came in and added charcoal, hot tea, and clothes to Jia Huan.

Seeing that the handsome little girl wanted to speak and stopped, Jia Huan smiled gently and patted her hand gently: "Ruyi, we will return to Jinling soon." ”

When he came back just now, Chang Sui Qian Huai asked him expectantly, "Third Master, when will we go back to Jinling?" ”

In the capital, he was the master of Jiafu; In Jinling, I visited the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, the merchants of the Ministry of Households, the waiters of the Ministry of Rites, and the Zhen family; In Yangzhou, it lacks these bustle, quiet and low-key. It is not surprising that Qian Huai wants to return to Jinling.

But at this time, how can he walk away? When I went out to eat dinner today, I could hear the rumors in the restaurant, and I can imagine what the situation is in Yangzhou City. He must figure things out and deal with them before he can leave Yangzhou and return to Jinling.

Now there are people who want to ruin his reputation, Lin Ruhai's reputation, and Lin Daiyu's reputation. In the dynasty, if the reputation is bad, many things cannot be done. This is an era when morality is greater than law.

Ruyi chuckled softly, said a well-behaved "um", and quietly left the study.

Jia Huan was in a slightly better mood, smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and continued to think at the desk. Eating in a restaurant, fabricating, slandering, and buttoning a few hats to people out of thin air, he was very annoyed in his heart. By this time, he had figured out a clue.

First, the rumor about both people and money came from the mouths of the officials and officials of the procuratorate.

On his first day in Yangzhou, Jia Lian complained that the officials and officials of the procuratorate did not do their work properly, and engaged in corruption, corruption, and fraud. Therefore, he replaced all the manpower with the officials in the office of the Provincial Guard. His teacher, Sha Sheng, guarded Huaiyang. The officials in the office of the Provincial Department are naturally attentive. However, he is blocking the way of some people's wealth, so there are rumors about him.

Other parts of the rumors, such as family property, concubines, and Yanfu, are clearly carefully fabricated. False and real, true and false. It is also mixed with peach-colored news that the public likes to see, which is very easy to spread and circulate. Got the essence of the rumors.

Second, those few shows are the rumors I heard on the Qinhuai River.

People who walk rumors, take the route of celebrities and prostitutes. This is one of the most common channels for rumors at the moment. It is a relatively high-end approach. The main messenger behind the scenes, it seems, has two brushes.

Are you sure you want to play rumors with me?

Then, let you be the end of my depression and dissatisfaction at this time!

…

In the night, in the courtyards of salt merchants on both sides of the small Qinhuai River in the north of Yangzhou City, the lights are lit up and it is very lively.

In a garden of the Zheng family, a big salt merchant in Yangzhou, five miles away from the city, the water pavilion is in the middle of the platform, and the silk and bamboo are secluded. Several beautiful dancing girls danced.

Zheng Yuanjian entertained Yang Yun's envoy from the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division in the courtyard. He was about fifty years old, had a round face, and looked shrewd.

After the dance, Yang Yunling applauded.

Zheng Yuanjian waved his hand, let the singing and dancing team raised at home go down, raised a wine glass to toast Yang Yun, and sighed with a smile: "Recently, Lin Chayuan passed away, I don't know when the imperial court will send a new salt patrol imperial history!" ”

Yang Yunenvoy smiled slightly, "The imperial history of the salt patrol is customized by the imperial court. I think I'll send someone in a few days. Zheng Yuanwai, why bother. Let's do a good job of the general commercial system first. Sha Dashen doesn't like your Zheng family very much. ”

Thinking of the insults he gave to his fellow villagers and fellow city scholars in the past month, Zheng Yuanjian smiled bitterly: "The Zheng family's ban on Sha Dashen is unspeakably miserable!" ”

Yang Yunenvoy smiled, raised his wine glass, and drank a glass with Zheng Yuanjian. What you want is to have resentment.

…

In Yangzhou City, in the government, the Jiang prefect was playing chess with his staff Wei Shiye. He has been unwell recently. Sit and watch the wind and clouds in the city of Yangzhou.

Since Sha Dashen proposed to reform the salt law, I don't know how many people are watching. Including him, Li Xundao, who is divided into patrol roads.

It stands to reason that the position of Li Xundao, the official of the Fengxian, is also very important, but this person has always been inconspicuous in Yangzhou City, and he is a peace officer.

The lights popped. Jiang Fuzun fell and said with a smile: "Master Wei has been training in the capital for many years, do you think Sha Dashen can succeed this time?" ”

Master Wei twisted a black chess piece and said with a smile: "If it can be done, the will of the imperial court will have already come down." Now the Holy Lord has ordered hundreds of officials to write about salt matters, but it is obviously not decided. Even if it is decided, it will probably be a new salt patrol imperial history decree to rectify the salt law. Without the support of the princes of the temple, it is difficult for Sha Dashen to make a difference. ”

Jiang Fuzun smiled slightly, "There is also Yang Yun's constraints, and Sha Dashen is estimated to have a bamboo basket to fetch water." ”

Master Wei smiled. He knew that he, Dong Weng, had always looked down on Sha Dashen, who was born as a scholar. Indeed, the reform of the salt law was done too hastily. We should build momentum first, negotiate with the salt business, and echo each other. It's easier to get things done.

It is said that Yang Yunenvoy and the Zheng family got close.

Perhaps, Yang Yunenvoy wants Sha Dashen to leave Yangzhou. Of course, what did Yang Yunmake think in his heart, who could say clearly?

This Yangzhou City's wind and clouds!

…

At night, it is often the best time for the painting boat business on the Xiaoqinhuai River. The night of September 15 was no exception. The difference is that there are just a few more peachy messages circulating, and the protagonist is Jia Huan.

At the entrance of the confluence of the Xiaoqinhuai River and the Slender West Lake, a beautiful two-story painting boat floats slowly in the river. The boat is brightly lit, and the sound of laughter and music is endless.

In the hall of the painting boat, Zheng Wenzhi, the eldest son of the Zheng family, hugged a popular girl and laughed, up and down his hands.

Not far away is a scholar in his twenties. The surname is Luo. From Suzhou. Meritorious service. The appearance is strange, and there is a black mole at the corner of the mouth, which is extremely conspicuous. At this time, he was and laughing with the prostitutes around him.

The popular girl smiled coquettishly: "Zheng Gongzi said that Jia Huan is only eleven years old, how can there be an affair?" Someone must have orchestrated him on purpose. ”

Luo Xiucai interjected coldly, "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he and the famous prostitutes Song and Liu in the south of the Yangtze River were in full view, and they stayed on this little Qin Huai, is it still fake?" ”

"Haha!" Jung Moon-sik laughed, and this is the most quintessential part of the rumors. The fact that two of the four famous prostitutes in Jiangnan spent a good night with Jia Huan is now afraid that it has spread to Hangzhou.

Zheng Wenzhi patted the woman beside him who was holding her breath and said, "You guys go down first." I had a few glasses of wine with Luo Xianggong. After waiting for the beauties in the hall to go down, he said with a smile: "Luo Xianggong made a move, it was really extraordinary, and then he would trouble Luo Xianggong." ”

Luo Xiucai said proudly: "That's nature." It's a small thing, and it can be done in the palm of your hand. Jia Ziyu's matter is just a means for you to see me. Hmph, my friend Han Zihuan returned from the capital and learned the art of slaying dragons. I'm just getting a glimpse of it. ”

Zheng Wenzhi said in surprise: "Then in the future, I will definitely visit Han Xianggong and ask for advice." ”

Luo Xiucai laughed proudly. (To be continued.) )
