Chapter 2197 There are thousands of knots in the Gui scroll

Lin Daiyu had no intention of arresting her for a while, and after thinking for a long time, she said bitterly: "Then my husband must have a way. I heard him say that even criminals can have a chance of amnesty and can recover their innocence..."

"Sister, this amnesty is so illusory, it only happens once every few years..." Tan Chun suddenly thought of something and stopped talking for a while.

Daiyu also thought of this, and her eyes collided with Tanchun in the air, and then she lowered her voice and said: "If the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he will definitely give a general amnesty to the world. The current emperor..."

Tan Chun was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly covered Daiyu's mouth, "Don't say such nonsense. Once it reaches other people's ears, it will be treason."

Daiyu snorted softly and pulled Tanchun's hand down, "There are only two of us here, who else can be there? Besides, this is the only possibility for this amnesty, right?"

Tanchun hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Not necessarily. If Jiangnan is pacified, the court may offer amnesty, but this possibility is relatively small. However, when the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he will definitely be granted amnesty."

"So, don't be so sad. I still like your original appearance best, and my husband must also like your original appearance best." When Daiyu talked about Feng Ziying, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up a little. Share a smile.

Tanchun's face felt hot again, and he pushed Daiyu, "I'm full of troubles, and you're still teasing me here. How can I be a sister like you?"

“Okay, okay, what do you want me to do as a sister?” Daiyu pouted, “They say I’m petty, maybe they want me to do this, who else is there?”

"I'm sorry, sister, I made a mistake." Tanchun softened his tone, held Daiyu's arm and said coquettishly, "Who asked you to be my sister?"

In fact, Daiyu was only eleven days older than Tanchun. Lin Daiyu’s birthday was on February 12th, while Tanchun’s birthday was on March 3rd.

 The room became quiet for a while.

Both of them suddenly remembered the joyful and lively scene of their lives in Rongguo Mansion. Unfortunately, time has passed and things have changed now. Baochai is still there, but people like Xiangyun, Baoqin, and Xiuyan are not. They are no longer around, but the eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, Yingchun and Xichun are also in different situations.

“I heard that the Grand View Garden over there is starting to be renovated?” Tan Chun suddenly asked.

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and then nodded: "It seems so, I just heard that Sister Ribao came over and said that the renovation started last month, mainly because it was put aside for too long and then put down. Many doors, windows and wall pillars are about to be destroyed. Because no one lives in it, there is no popularity, and the house declines quickly. Before he left, Brother Feng also said that he would move there sooner or later. Our place is still a little smaller, and he I also hope that the past situation can be restored so that sisters can gather together in the Grand View Garden..."

These words had a strange flavor that could not be explained, but both Daiyu and Tanchun knew that Brother Feng did not mean any harm.

There is no need to worry about selling such a house. If it is sold by the government, if it is bought by another family, it will definitely be a Zheshe family. They will definitely renovate it according to their hobbies and wishes, and the Grand View Garden was originally used to welcome the imperial concubine to visit the bride. What was built will definitely no longer be used, and many places that are not in compliance with regulations will be demolished, which would be a pity. This was also the key to Feng Ziying's original plan to buy it back.

"Brother Feng means well, but I'm afraid he will never come back to such a situation." Tan Chun sighed, "The Jia family has fallen to this. I think the family will also have to endure this desolation after Jiangnan is pacified. It’s unclear how many people will be able to see each other again.”

Daiyu frowned and said angrily: "You are not allowed to say that. Sister Bao, second sister, you, me, fourth sister, Baoyu, and sister-in-law are all here. Even Baoqin, Miaoyu and Xiuyan can do it." When we come back, Sister Yuanyang and Sister Heping'er are also there, isn't the second sister-in-law at Tianjin Wei's side? If we really want to invite her back, won't she just refuse to give in? The only thing that's at risk is Girl Yun, but this time Girl Yun I don’t think I went to Shaanxi for no reason. I heard before that I was going to Guizhou, so I changed it to Shaanxi. I must have thought that Brother Feng was in Shaanxi. Brother Feng must have thought of a way. If it was about Lianyun Girl, , Brother Feng can handle it well, so your affairs will naturally not be a problem, how can it be that Brother Feng still doesn’t care about your affairs?"

When Daiyu said this, Tanchun's heart also moved.

She also heard that a large number of people from the Jia family were going to be exiled to Guizhou, but in the end it was changed to Shaanxi. If it wasn't because of Brother Feng, she wouldn't believe it.

Although his own affairs are also difficult, Brother Feng is already a fourth-level official in the border area. If he served as governor in Shaanxi for one term and then said he wanted to be the minister of ministers after he came back, he would be the real high-ranking official of the imperial court. Member, in total, there were only twenty or thirty people in the entire Zhou Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, it is of course impossible to find a way to completely overturn these crimes for the Jia family, but it may not be impossible to reduce them.

Especially as Brother Feng said, the master was staying well in Jiangxi, so how could he go to Nanjing for no reason?

Most of them were forced to do so, and they also wrote a letter back to explain to the court. If they use this as an excuse at that time, even if they cannot be completely absolved, at least they can get a lighter sentence, and their identity will be fine. Relieved.

I just don’t know when Brother Feng will be able to return to Beijing. It has been almost half a year since I left. I have been feeling empty in my heart. I wanted to write a letter, but I thought that it was thousands of miles away and it would be difficult to deliver the letter, so I had to give up.

"Thank you sister for your kindness. It would be great if Brother Feng could return to Beijing earlier. I don't know what his situation is like in Shaanxi. Sometimes I can dream about the time when we were in the Grand View Garden. With the addition of Brother Feng, everyone is in a much better mood." Tan Chun said with emotion.

"Brother Feng still has a letter back, but maybe he is too busy with official duties. There are only a few sentences in the letter, asking about everyone's health, and then talking about the situation on his side." At this point, Daiyu said The mood also became a little low, "Sister Shen, Sister Bao and we all hope that Brother Feng will come back early. It's just that this is official business of the court, and Brother Feng is a career-oriented person. If the court is in trouble, what can he do? Can you share the worries of the imperial court? If we can come back within two years from this trip, we will be like Amitabha."

"What's the situation in Shaanxi?" Tan Chun couldn't help but ask: "The "Today News" almost published the news in Shaanxi almost every other day, but it was all vague and sounded out of touch. It only talked about official matters. How many rebels have been annihilated by the army, and where they have won battles, but they do not say when they will be able to completely wipe out these bandits..."

"Even the imperial court may not be able to confirm this kind of prediction, so how can the newspaper confirm it?" Daiyu thought for a while, "But "Today's News" also has something to do with Brother Feng. Brother Feng must have given them some information. Otherwise, they can only know about it from the imperial palace newspaper, which would be even more confusing."

Not to mention that the situation in Shaanxi is unclear in the capital city. Even the vast majority of people in Xi'an, except for a few people, have a unclear understanding of the situation in Shaanxi.

Seeing that the situation in the three prefectures of northern Shaanxi has been completely reversed, and as the rebels "poisoned" the powerful gentry in many prefectures and counties in the three prefectures, the government troops could only follow them and drive away the rebels, but they remained. Most of the food supplies and money fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers, which became a big "harvest" for the three prefectures in northern Shaanxi.

Feng Ziying divided the gains of the officers and soldiers into two parts. One part was 70% of the captured materials and grains and handed over to the local government for relief.

This sum is not small. Although it is not enough to meet the needs of the local hungry people, it also relieves the huge pressure on the local hungry people to survive to a certain extent.

The remaining 30% is directly controlled by the governor's office. After the censor and Long Jinwei have verified the relief distribution situation in the three prefectures, states and counties, the remaining 30% will be replenished based on the verification results.

Those with good relief performance, high efficiency and less corruption will be able to obtain more materials and food, while those who do poorly will not only be impeached and investigated by the censor, but also have to reduce the amount of materials and food, and the distribution will be directly supervised by the governor's yamen. .

There is also money. This part is basically the proceeds of the rebel army's seizure of these powerful local households. Some of them have been taken away according to the "agreement". Feng Ziying will use all the remaining part to buy grain from Henan for next spring. It can be used as a maneuver in the most critical time.

Modlen's Boyan Village troops swept through Qingyang and Pingliang Prefectures, almost eliminating most of the powerful and evil gentry in these two prefectures. Many of them actually vaguely saw some clues, but then they Zhu Boyanzhai suddenly changed from recruiting soldiers to Xi'an Guards, and those who still had some thoughts gave up the idea.

Modelun is now a guerrilla of the Xi'an Guard. Without the support of civilian officials, who would dare to mess with this guard that is completely different from the Xi'an Guard in the past?

If we really force them to "rebellion again" and cause a turmoil in the Guanzhong Plain, who can bear this responsibility?

The situation in the three prefectures of northern Shaanxi has stabilized, but the situation in the eastern part of Xi'an Prefecture has become more confusing. The most powerful rebel army in Baitangzhai has already prepared its troops to move south, and it seems that it will join forces with the rebels in Xi'an Prefecture. Everyone They all watched this incident with bated breath, but who would have thought that the situation would suddenly change, and the rebels in Baitang Village would actually shake hands with the rebels in Xi'an Prefecture and make peace.

This suddenly made the entire city of Xi'an nervous. What would happen if these two groups joined forces?
