Chapter 2197: There are thousands of knots in the hear

  Chapter 2197 Guizi scroll with thousands of knots in the heart

  Lin Daiyu couldn't be caught for a while, and after thinking for a long time, she said bitterly: "Then the gentleman must have a way. I heard him say that even criminals can have the chance of amnesty, and they can also recover their innocence..."

   "Sister, this amnesty is so illusory, it's rare to see it once in many years..." Tanchun suddenly thought of something, and stopped talking for a while.

  Daiyu also thought of this, and collided with Tanchun's eyes in the air, then lowered her voice and said: "If the new emperor succeeds, he will definitely pardon the world. The current emperor..."

  Tanchun turned pale with fright, and quickly covered Daiyu's mouth, "You can't say such words indiscriminately. Once they reach other people's ears, it will be treasonous."

   Daiyu snorted softly, and took Tanchun's hand off, "It's just the two of us here, who else could be there? Besides, this is the only possibility for this amnesty, right?"

   Tanchun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Not necessarily, if Jiangnan is pacified, the imperial court may also amnesty, but this possibility is relatively small, but the new emperor will definitely grant amnesty."

"So, don't be so sad, I still like your original appearance the most, and my husband must also like your original appearance the most." When Daiyu mentioned Feng Ziying, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, a little more Very smiling.

  Tan Chun's face was hot again, and he pushed Daiyu, "I'm full of troubles, and you are still teasing her here, how can you be a sister like you?"

   "Okay, okay, what do you want me as a sister?" Daiyu pouted, "I'm said to be small-minded, and I might want to do this, who else?"

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

  Actually, Daiyu is only eleven days older than Tanchun. Lin Daiyu’s birthday is on the twelfth of February, while Tanchun’s birthday is on the third day of March.

  The room fell silent for a while.

Both of them suddenly remembered the happy and lively scene of living in Rongguo Mansion, but unfortunately time has passed, and things are different now, Baochai is still there, but people like Xiangyun, Baoqin, and Xiuyan are not. They are all gone, 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?" Tanchun asked suddenly.

Daiyu was taken aback, and after thinking for a while, she nodded: "It seems so, I just heard that Sister Ribao came to talk about it, and the renovation started last month. Many doors, windows, walls, and pillars are about to be destroyed, because no one lives in them, so there is no popularity, and the house will decay quickly. Brother Feng also said that he would move there sooner or later before he left. Our side is still a bit smaller. In addition, he I also hope that the old scene can be restored, so that the sisters can gather in the Grand View Garden,..."

   These words were a bit strange, but both Daiyu and Tanchun knew that Brother Feng had no malicious intentions.

This kind of house must not worry about selling it. If it is sold by the government, if it is bought by another family, it must be a luxury house. They will definitely remodel it according to their hobbies and wishes, and the Grand View Garden was originally for welcoming the noble concubine and family. It is a pity that people will definitely not be able to use it again, and many places that do not comply with regulations will be demolished. This is the key to Feng Ziying's desire to buy it back.

"Brother Feng has good intentions, but in such a situation, there is no possibility of ever coming back." Tan Chun sighed, "The Jia family has fallen to this point, presumably after the Jiangnan is settled down, the family members will also have to endure this disorder. It’s unknown how many people will be able to meet 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 will Come back, Sister Yuanyang and Sister Ping'er are also there, isn't the second sister-in-law at Tianjin Wei? If you really want to invite her back, will she refuse to give in? The only thing that is worrying is Yun girl, but this time Yun girl Going to Shaanxi, I don’t think I went there for no reason. I heard that I was going to Guizhou and changed it to Shaanxi. I must have thought that Brother Feng is in Shaanxi. Brother Feng must have thought of a way. If it is about Lianyun girl , Brother Feng can handle it well, so your matter is naturally out of the question, so can Brother Feng not take your matter to heart?"

  When Daiyu said this, Tanchun's heart moved.

  She also heard that a large group of people from the Jia family were going to be exiled in Guizhou, but they were changed to Shaanxi in the end. If there is no reason for Brother Feng, she would not believe it.

Although my own affairs are also difficult, Brother Feng is now a fourth-rank official in the frontier. If he is a governor in Shaanxi, he will say that he will be a minister when he comes back. Counting the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, it was only one of the 20 or 30 people.

  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 had a good stay in Jiangxi, why did he go to Nanjing for no reason?

Most of them were forced, and they also wrote a letter back to explain to the court. If they use this as an excuse to refute at that time, even if they can't completely get rid of the crime, at least they can get a lighter sentence, and then their own identity can also be used. freed.

   It’s just that I don’t know when Brother Feng will be able to return to Beijing. It’s been almost half a year, and my heart has been empty. I wanted to write a letter, but because it’s thousands of miles away, it’s not easy to deliver the letter, so I had to give up.

"Thank you sister for letting me go. It would be great if Brother Feng could return to Beijing sooner. I don't know how he is doing in Shaanxi. Sometimes I can dream of the time when we were in the Grand View Garden in the past. With one more Brother Feng, everyone will feel much better." Tanchun said with emotion.

"Brother Feng still has a letter back, but it may be because he is too busy with business, the letter is just a few words, check everyone's health, and then talk about his situation there is nothing else." Speaking of this, Daiyu The mood is also a little depressed, "Sister Shen, Sister Bao and we all hope that Brother Feng will come back sooner, but this is an official business of the court, and Brother Feng is a person who puts his career first. If the court is in trouble, what can he do?" Can you not share the worries of the imperial court? If we can come back within two years from this trip, we will be Amitabha."

"So what's the situation in Shaanxi?" Tanchun couldn't help asking: "The "Today News" will publish news from Shaanxi almost every other day, but they are all vague, sounding like they are scratching their heads. How many rebels have been wiped out by the army, and where they have won battles, but they don't say when they will be able to completely wipe out these rebellious bandits..."

"This kind of prediction is that even the imperial court may not be able to confirm it, so how can the newspapers assert it?" Daiyu thought for a while, "However, "Today's News" has some relationship with Brother Feng, and it must be that Brother Feng gave them some news. Otherwise, they can only find out from the imperial palace newspaper, and it will be even more foggy."

  Not to mention that the situation in Shaanxi in the capital city is cloudy, even the vast majority of people in Xi'an city can't see the situation in Shaanxi clearly, except for a few people.

Seeing that the situation in the three prefectures of northern Shaanxi has been completely reversed, and with the "poison" of the powerful gentry in many prefectures and counties in the three prefectures by the rebellious army, every official army can only follow and drive the rebellious army away, but they survive However, most of the food, materials, money and silver fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers, which has become 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 to hand over 70% of the seized materials and food to the local government for relief.

   This is not a small amount. Although it cannot meet the needs of the local hungry and disaster victims, it also relieves the huge pressure on the survival of the local hungry and hungry people to a certain extent.

  The remaining 30% is directly controlled by the governor's yamen. After checking the relief distribution situation of the three prefectures and counties by Yushi and Long Jinwei, the remaining 30% will be supplemented according to the verification results.

Those with good relief, high efficiency, and less corruption will be able to obtain more supplies and food, while those who do poorly will not only have to be impeached by the censor, but also have to reduce the supply of supplies and food, and the governor's office will directly supervise the distribution .

There is another sum of money and silver. This part is basically obtained by the rebel army from raiding these local powerful 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 When it is most critical, it is in your hand and used as a maneuver.

Modron's Boyan Village raided Qingyang and Pingliang prefectures, and almost wiped out most of the powerful and evil gentry in these two prefectures. Many of them actually vaguely saw some clues, but then Seeing the transformation of Boyan Village from Zhao'an to Xi'an Guards, those who still had some thoughts stopped thinking about it.

   Now Modren is already a guerrilla of the Xi'an Guards. Without the support of civil servants, who would dare to mess with this guard, which is completely different from the former Xi'an Guards?

   If they really want to force them to "betray the water again" and set off another storm in the Guanzhong Plain, who can bear this responsibility?

The situation in the three northern Shaanxi prefectures has stabilized, but the situation in the eastern part of Xi'an prefecture is even more confusing. The most powerful rebellious army in Baitangzhai is already preparing to go south, and it seems that it will merge with the rebellious armies in Xi'an prefecture. Everyone They all held their breaths watching this incident, but who would have thought that the situation would change suddenly, and the rebellious army in Baitangzhai would shake hands with these rebellious troops in Xi'an Prefecture.

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