(The second update, ask for a red ticket)

Lin Jian leaned on the oil lamp to read the official letter handed by the Qingzhou Kuaima, frowned slightly, as if locked in deep thought, saw Sun Jingtang, Sun Wenbing, and Sun Wenwan walk in, beckoned them to sit down, and said: "Sit down, this is an excerpt from the decision of the judges of the Changyi case, you can take a look at ......" handed the official letter in his hand to Sun Jingtang.

Sun Jingtang sat down slightly sideways in the case, hesitated for a moment, and took the official letter booklet over to look through; Sun Wenbing and Sun Wenwan stood on one side and did not sit down.

Lin Jian doesn't pay attention to these rules, but others want to pay attention to the rules of respect and inferiority of the elders and young, so he can only follow the customs.

Xihe will hire a bookkeeper, but in recent years, Sun Wenwan has been responsible for any correspondence and account accounting. Sun Jingtang and his brother Sun Jingxuan are not very literate, but fortunately, the excerpts from the trial of the Changyi case are very simple, basically recording the original words of the interrogator and the interrogator, and he did not have much trouble reading it, and spent a lot of time reading through the excerpts of tens of thousands of words, and he was afraid that there would be something missing, so he read the key points carefully again before handing them over to his second son Wen Bing.

Sun Wenwan couldn't lose the rules, so she relied on her good eyes, turned sideways to look at the excerpt in her cousin's hand, and when she looked at it, a chill ran down her spine.

Even if Tang Haoxin and Lin Mengde fought for the Xihe Society and the Sun family in Qingzhou, the results of the trial were still quite unfavorable to the Xihe Society and the Sun family, and the punishment was very severe at the beginning.

The responsibility for ignoring the river situation and killing the congregation without permission to cause the mutiny in Changyi was naturally planted on Liu Yefei's head, and the responsibility for the mutiny of the Qingzhou Army also had to be borne by Liu Yefei. Due to Liu Yefei's very high official position, the case will be handed over to the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple for trial, and even the case will not be decided until the palace has deliberated, and it is not within the scope of the trial of the Changyi mutiny case.

The Changyi mutiny was finally characterized as a gang gathering to make trouble, and serious crimes such as rebellion were erased, but Sun Jingxuan, Sun Wenyao, and more than 150 leaders of the Xihe Society, including Sun Jingtang, all needed to bear responsibility for the lack of strictness in the royal family, the illegal possession of weapons, and the gathering of crowds to cause trouble, resulting in the death and injury of 17 people, and were sentenced to three, five, and ten years of exile respectively, and a corporal punishment ranging from 30, 50, and 80 canes; More than 150 other congregation leaders were sentenced to one to three years' imprisonment and a fines ranging from 10 to 30 years of corporal punishment. Sun Wenbing, who had nothing to do with the Changyi Mutiny, was also implicated, and he had military merits and atonement for his crimes; Sun Wenwan is a female streamer, and she is sentenced to exile from her father without additional punishment; The envoys, together with the Yamen of the Jianghuai Governor's Mansion and the Jiangdong County Inspectorate Yamen, immediately dissolved the Xihe Society, and the grain transportation affairs undertaken by the Jiangning Zhuhe Gang were divided into the Jiangning Zhuhe Gang......

If there was no Jiangdong Left Army to take refuge, in a normal sense, suffering such a severe punishment, the Sun family and the Xihe Society would be completely destroyed, but at least everyone was saved.

It is conceivable that if Lin Tie had not used the Gyeonggi grain shortage as a threat to support the army to force Shandong, the Changyi mutiny was really determined to be a major crime of rebellion, and the more than 300 people who were escorted to Qingzhou as the first criminal would naturally not be able to keep their heads, and the Sun family was afraid that it would be difficult to protect even the clan......

Sun Wenwan still felt a burst of fear at this time, and cold sweat broke out on her back.

"The Changyi mutiny case will not be further investigated, but it is difficult to completely wipe out some of the unfavorable criminal evidence that the Sun family collected for Liu Yefei before, and the trial can only wash away some unwarranted charges that have been fabricated and pressed on the head of the Sun family - these so-called criminal evidence are not taken care of, the key is the disposal resolution after the trial, which is a little too much for the Sun family," Lin Jian said to Sun Jingtang, "I will go to Qingzhou tomorrow, take the cavalry camp away, you go to Qingzhou with me, I want to go to Xu Jianshen, how can I fight for the Sun family again!" ”

"......" Sun Jingtang pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Xie thinks about the Sun family, such a punishment is not unacceptable to the Sun family, the key is to save people." It's just that apart from the thousands of mouths that cause trouble to the adults, there is no other person in the Xihe Society who can serve the adults, and the Sun family is really ashamed......"

"What are you doing with these words, when I go to Jiangning, I will be penniless," Lin Jian said, his fingers tapped on the table, thought for a moment, and said, "Even if we finally admit it, we will have to go to Qingzhou and take people out first, so as not to play tricks on others; Although Wen Bing does not talk about military exploits, but his identity is not hindered, you immediately go back to Jiangning, go to Master Gu, and move the Xihe Society to the mouth of the river and their families to temporarily resettle, if there is anything difficult, discuss with Lin Jingzhong and Zhao Hu to deal with it, and if it doesn't work, go to Chongzhou for help! ”

Jiangning went to Chongzhou by less than 500 miles of water, sailing smoothly, day and night, and it only took three days for the horses to return, which was much faster than their response in Shandong, which was beyond the reach of the whip.

At this time, Fu Qinghe, Ge Cunxiong, Hu Zhiyong, Hu Zhicheng and others presided over Xisha Island in Chongzhou, and Qin Chengzu and others secretly helped. There are more than 600 elites in Jiyun Wuwei and Xisha Island Township Battalion, in fact, more than 8,000 Ding Zhuang in Xisha Island have completed rotation training, and about 1,000 Jianyong have been selected and directly used as Jiyun Wuwei and Township Battalion Reserve Force, before that, Lin Lian sent more than 1,400 wounded and sick of the Jiangdong Left Army to Xisha Island for recuperation, after more than a month of recuperation, most of them have recovered from injuries and returned to the system - at this time, even if you don't count the elite of Changshan Island, Fu Qinghe can organize 3,000 combat strength on Xisha Island to prepare for the unexpected.

Sun Wenbing left Changyi that night, and considering the lack of manpower in Jiangning, Lin Jian directly sent 200 elite horsemen to be controlled by Sun Wenbing, and escorted him back to Jiangning to settle the Xihe congregation and their families. It is still possible for the Xihe Society and the Sun family to transfer some of their property, this depends on whether the personnel of the Xihe Society who stay in Jiangning move fast enough, in fact, after suppressing the mutiny of the Qingzhou Army, Lin Jian asked Sun Wenbing to send people back to Jiangning to do these things, but there is no news back.

It has been four generations since the Sun family established the Xihe Society to undertake Cao affairs, and the congregation has increased from more than 300 to more than 2,000 people.

For example, along the Cao Canal Road, the Xihe Society will add some houses so that the congregation can have a place to recuperate from the injured and sick when it is transported by. With Jiangning as its root, the Xihe Society purchased land in the south of Jiangning City and built a large number of houses for the congregation and their families to settle in.

In addition to the boats, there are also many private ships under the name of the Xihe Society, although these private ships are not very large, they are precisely added by the Sun family to strengthen the armament of the Xihe Society, which are easy to transform into warships, and the hull is strong.

Compared with the field house, these private ships are the best to transfer; However, Jiang Ning's side has achieved that level, and it is still unknown.

Lin Jian rested for two hours that night, and in the early morning, Zhou Pu led the rest of the cavalry battalion to escort him, Sun Jingtang, and Sun Wenwan to Qingzhou, and Zhao Qingshan led a battalion of foot soldiers to Qingzhou to slow down, Ao Canghai and Zhou Tong's three battalions of soldiers stayed in Taerbao Mountain, and more than 1,500 Xihe congregants were stationed in Taerbao Mountain.

********

From Taerbao Mountain to Hanting and then to Qingzhou, about 200 miles, Lin Tie was surrounded by more than 400 horsemen, walked only one day and one night, and arrived in Qingzhou in the early morning of April 2.

When I arrived in Qingzhou, the city was foggy, and the white mist flowed on the eaves of the streets and alleys, and the city walls were also looming.

Lin Mengde got the news a moment earlier, and went out of the city to greet Lin Lian, Lin Mengde and Sun Jingtang were no strangers, and after a moment of greeting, he told Lin Lian the latest developments in Qingzhou City in the past two days: "At the banquet last night, Xiao Xuanchou suddenly discussed the matter of the prison city, saying that he wanted to write to the imperial court along with the Changyi proposal, and asked to reopen the prison city at the mouth of the Chongzhou River, and merge Jinchuan Prison Island into the prison city......"

"Huh!" Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Xuanchou has always been his top boss, and his impression of Xiao Xuanchou has always stayed in the sleek and worldly aspects, Gu Wuchen has been preparing for the reopening of the prison city for a long time, Xiao Xuanchou is not like the kind of person who will snatch the credit of the top boss! Lin Jian suddenly felt troubled and asked Lin Mengde, "What do you think of this?" Lin Mengde knew that this happened earlier than them, and he had enough time to think about the cause and effect behind it.

"Choosing a place to reopen the prison city at the mouth of the Chongzhou River is naturally convenient for you to control, and at first glance it is beneficial to us," Lin Mengde said, "Actually, it is not, I suspect that Xiao Xuanchou has already won Yue Lengqiu over......"

"It's a bit serious...... Lin Jian frowned and thought about it, he just heard the news, and he didn't have time to think about the causes and consequences behind it.

"Tang Shaobao told me about this last night, and he also thought that Xiao Xuanchou was unreliable," Lin Mengde said, "Because of you, and with Lord Gu behind his back, there is no possibility for others to interfere in Prison Island at all, and it is even difficult to see through the reality of Prison Island." And in our deployment, Prison Island and the estuary rely on each other, and they are the lips and teeth of dependence—in other words, I am Yue Lengqiu, and I don't want to see such a prison island in the heart of Jiangning, completely out of his control. However, neither Tang Shaobao nor Master Gu had any excuse to veto this matter, and the prison city was reopened, and only those involved in the Changyi case were officially exiled to Chongzhou in the name of the ......"

"It's really quiet......" Lin Lian felt that Yue Lengqiu was really a tricky character, Changyi mutinied, if he hesitated a little, the Sun family and Xihe would not be able to keep it, Yue Lengqiu miscalculated his reaction, but he didn't expect him to hand over another dark nail so quickly.

Lin Jian has been able to completely control Xisha Island, and the Jiangdong Left Army will also return to Xisha Island and pay Chongzhou Township, whether to reopen the prison city at the mouth of the Chongzhou River will not be of substantial benefit to him.

There are two types of exile punishments: liubian and confiscated army, and liuhai island is also a kind of liubian. Lin Jian came to Qingzhou this time, just to plan to directly take Sun Jingxuan, Sun Wenyao and others to Xisha Island, so as not to open branches outside the festival, and he didn't think about finding any excuses.

Prison Island is like Jiangning, just like Jinwei Island is like Jinhai, controlling Prison Island in your hands, from Prison Island to Xisha Island to Changshan Island and then to Jinwei Island, it is a complete link, at this time, I just cut off a ring for Yue Lengqiu, but there is still bitterness that I can't say.

Sun Jingtang only had a heart-to-heart conversation with Lin Jian yesterday, and he didn't know much about the details of many things in Jiyun Society, and when he saw Lin Jian frowning, he also knew that the importance of Prison Island was more important than he had imagined before.

Lin Jian frowned and pondered, and then said for a moment: "Even if Prison Island can't be exclusive to me, I must make Prison Island and the estuary one, and I can't make excuses for Yue Lengqiu or others to occupy it...... In addition, Jiangdong has not set up a deputy envoy since Jia Pengxu left his post, and Yue Lengqiu will probably push Xiao Xuanchou to this position. ”

"I talked to Tang Shaobao at night, and he also had this worry," Lin Mengde asked, "Did you go to see Tang Shaobao first?" ”

"Alas, okay, let's go see Tang Gong first." Lin Jian said.

Gu Wuchen and Yue Lengqiu competed in Jiangning, and they were already at a disadvantage, but they didn't expect Yue Lengqiu to co-opt Xiao Xuanchou to contain Gu Wuchen within the Inspectorate Division, which actually showed that after the contradictions between Tang, Gu and Zhang and Yue became public, many people were more optimistic about Zhang and Yue. If Xiao Xuanchou had already fallen to Yue Lengqiu before he came to Qingzhou, then the transfer of property between the Sun family and the Xihe Society would have been ruined, and Yue Lengqiu would definitely be able to seize the property of the Sun family and the Xihe Society before they sent someone to Jiangning.
