Chapter 34 A character scroll sits in a sad city

   Just as Feng Ziying and Zuo Liangyu boarded the Shansuo boat and headed south, they fell into a silent silence in the secret room with double walls in the courtyard of Feng's house.

  Feng You actually regretted a little after sending Feng Ziying away.

  The master's family only has such a son-in-law. If there is a mistake, I really don't know how to explain it to the master.

Even he himself didn't quite understand how he would be persuaded by Brother Keng. Yes, those reasons were reasonable, but if everything goes well, once he goes out An accident, it fell into the hands of the White Lotus disciples, what should we do?

  Thinking of this, Feng You felt that it would be better to immediately protect Brother Keng from breaking out of the city. At that time, the religious bandits had just entered the city and had not yet fully controlled the city.

   As for the life and death of other people, he couldn't care less. Even if there were any disasters in the future, it would always be better than the last generation of the Feng family. Presumably the head of the family should understand it.

  But it was too late to regret it now, Brother Keng had already gone out, although the child might not be in danger of life if he was caught, even if there was a mistake in the dark night, he couldn't tell.

   This kind of entangled and disturbed mood has always troubled him, making it difficult for him to calm down. Even when he was besieged by the Mongolian Tartar cavalry outside the Great Wall, he was not so upset.

  Jia Yucun and Xue Jun have been observing Feng You's actions.

  After Feng Ziying left, the entire secret room was like a living coffin. Everyone just huddled here quietly, waiting for the decision of fate.

   This kind of time is the most difficult. You don't know the result, you don't know when it will end, and the only way is to wait.

Once a powerless literati like myself is caught by bandits, the outcome is self-evident, and this is the only daughter of Lord Dong Weng Lin. I want to start my career again.

  Xue Jun was tossing and turning like Xue Jun. No one expected to encounter such a bad luck, especially in Linqing City, which is known as Beidi No.

After learning that Jia Yucun escorted Lin Hai's daughter to Beijing, and Xue Jun's Xue family was one of the four Jinling families known as Jia Wang historians, Jia Yucun's attitude towards Xue Jun was also quite friendly. Now, the two of them felt a little bit of sympathy for each other.

   "Brother Run Gao, why did you come here alone? Jinling is even more prosperous in the rich and prosperous south of the Yangtze River. Why come to this unfamiliar place?" Jia Yucun was quite puzzled.

   In the name of Jia Shiwang Xue four masters, he only started to inquire about it after he learned that Lin Hai was going to seek an officer for him.

Although the Four Families are only the Four Families of Jinling, and they are far less beautiful than they were thirty or fifty years ago, after all, the Four Families are also from Long Wuxun. .

That prince Tenggui is the envoy of the Beijing camp, and he is in charge of the three major camps of the capital. In the lineage of the imperial merchants, why is this Xue Jun also a direct branch of the Xue family, even if he is the second wife, it shouldn't be like this.

Xue Jun's face changed slightly. He didn't want to say it at first, but he thought that this person was able to be entrusted by Lin Hai to send his daughter to Beijing, and he was born as a Jinshi. Knowing the truth is not beautiful.

   Moreover, the situation of the Xue family for so many years is not a secret. This person can find out after a little inquiring.

   "Brother Yucun didn't know something. After my brother passed away, the head of the family was incompetent. The world has been so cold these days, and many businesses have been neglected. Some contacts have gradually faded away..."

   Xue Jun sighed, "It is true that Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, but merchants in Huizhou, Longyou, Dongting and other places are grouped together and have been in business for decades. If they do not have great connections, it will be difficult for them to match."

  Although Xue Jun just said it briefly, Jia Yucun also understood it.

  The Jiangnan merchant gangs are powerful, and the merchant gangs in Huizhou, Dongting, Longyou and other places are quite powerful in various places, and they have been in business for many years, and they all have big figures behind them.

Even when I was the magistrate, I also encountered such a situation, and even came to cling to it, but my time as an official was too short, and I was dismissed before I really went deep into it. If I can get what I want this time, Must do a good job.

This Xue's family lacks a backbone, and Xue Jun is obviously powerless, so he intends to come to the Northland to find business opportunities, but the business is afraid that it will be difficult to do business there, and all snakes bite people, so it may not be possible to achieve his wish. Now Also encountered this kind of thing.

"Brother Rungao, there is no need to be discouraged. The business is also ups and downs. I think Linqing is a normal time, and I am afraid that there will be no chances, but after this catastrophe, there may be some opportunities." Jia Yucun mused. .

   "Oh? Brother Yucun, why did you say that?" After all, Xue Jun was a businessman, and even in a dangerous place, he did not forget the key points in business.

"The imperial court always wants to suppress bandits and rebellions, but Linqing City is so prosperous and the bandits are so powerful that the government may not be able to take them down so easily. Once the war continues, the military disaster will be involved. It is also said that dozens of people from the Liang Gang also died, and all the food stores were looted, and other places in Linqing City, such as money and pawnshops and machine-woven silk shops, may not escape the catastrophe, but Linqing City is located on the main road of the canal. , the Caocang are all stationed here, but this cannot be changed, even if it was destroyed by the military disaster, the court and the local government want to bring it back to life, maybe this is a chance,..."

   Xue Jun was very moved, and had to admit that this scholar is very powerful, even such a businessman can see the situation so profoundly and accurately, no wonder he can be a Jinshi and become a magistrate, but he doesn't know why the other party demoted the official.

  If I can get away this time, it’s really..., I just realized when I thought of this, life and death are still uncertain, and I couldn’t help sighing again.

Jia Yucun thought that the other party was still worried, and continued: "Brother Rungao, I also know that there must be some difficulties here. Linqing City is one of the largest commercial towns in the North. It is rare to stand on one's feet, but it must be weighed carefully."

  Xue Jun nodded again and again. This statement is correct. Such a big city is probably coveted by countless people.

   "Thank you, brother Yucun, for your reminder. I hope we can escape this catastrophe and turn the danger into good luck." Xue Jun bowed his hands solemnly.

  The two of them had a very happy conversation here, while the loli was talking to the boy, but the needlepoint was facing the wheat awn.

   "My uncle is one of the best in the Imperial College, Imperial College, you know? All scholars in the country have to..."

"Pfft! Be careful, the wind flashed your tongue. I'm afraid that your uncle Keng will be imprisoned by the Yin Prison? Who knows that there are dragons and snakes in the Guozijian now, and it would be fine if the ordinary state capital's old tribute was sent in. Is your uncle still the Bagong of Linqing Prefecture or Shuntian Prefecture in Dongchang Prefecture?"

  The little girl curled her lips contemptuously. Although she was in a dangerous place, she refused to lose her momentum, "I think most of them pay tribute or regular prisons."

  Rui Xiang, who is usually eloquent and eloquent, was dumbfounded by what he said.

Although he also knew that his master went to the Imperial College to sit in prison to study, but he didn't know exactly how he got there. He only knew that it was related to the master. understood.

Seeing that Ruixiang was speechless like a dumb bird, the little girl raised her head arrogantly, "You don't understand these things, so ask your master carefully in the future, don't be so embarrassing, there is no place to be ashamed .”

   Ruixiang was distraught.

   The Spring Festival is here, and Lao Rui wishes the brothers a happy holiday and good health!
