The Founding of the Red Chamber

Chapter 151 Jinzhou City 2

Chen Erqing was born as a commoner, so he was less meticulous, which is understandable.

What's more, everyone has their own temperament, as long as it is available, it is fine.

On the other hand, Tu Xiaosi suddenly saw Xiao Niuzi turn his back on him, so he gave Xiao Niuzi some advice, "Follow Ah Jing, just learn some skills from him, but don't imitate his temperament, it won't be liked by others." .”

It made Xiao Niuzi feel very depressed, thinking about when he will get back to his apprentice Zhang Xiaosi, so that he can be quiet here for a while.

As soon as Chen Erqing left, Lin Jing then intercepted and killed Xie Guogong's messenger, and even removed Xie's residence in Longcheng.That day when Tu Xiaosan came home and had dinner in the evening, he saw pigeon soup served on the table, and said, "Okay, this soup is good. I heard that pigeon soup is good for the body. Ah Jing, you can drink a bowl too." Give it to Lin Jing With a full bowl, Lin Jing said, "Soup is fine, I don't eat meat."

Tu Xiaosan knew that he was eating vegetarian food at night, so he scooped the pigeon into his own bowl and said to Lin Jing, "The old saying is good, a man can't get rich without windfall, and a horse can't get fat without night grass. You should eat more at night and replenish your talents at night." It really makes up for it."

Lin Jing said, "I'm not a horse."

"I'm a horse, I'm a horse." Tu Xiaosan smiled and felt it as soon as he ate it, and said, "This pigeon tastes good, the wild pigeon is thinner, and the smell also has a wild smell, the domestic pigeon Well, it’s too fat, so there’s nothing to eat. This pigeon is neither fat nor thin, and it only has fresh fragrance but no firewood for wild pigeons. This pigeon is good.”

"Okay, just drink two more bowls."

Tu Xiaosan came back from a busy day and was already hungry, but now that the food was right for him, he naturally enjoyed it.

Tu Xiaosan saw that Lin Jing also drank half a bowl of pigeon soup, and said, "Stew two more tomorrow."

Lin Jing said, "It's gone."

Tu Xiaosan is also a person in power now, and said, "Just let someone buy it."

The corner of Lin Jing's lips twitched, "There is no place to buy this pigeon. This is a carrier pigeon that Xie's family put in Longcheng. It is specially used to deliver news. I took their point. The pigeons are divided. We have two here." Stew the soup, and give the rest to Xiaosi, doesn't he love meat?"

Tu Xiaosan heard that the pigeons that the Xie family put in Longcheng tasted better, Tu Xiaosan was moved, and said, "Don't say it, this pigeon is delicious." Then said, "Why don't we domesticate a few pigeons. "Doves fly faster than people.

Lin Jing joked, "What are you doing, make soup."

Tu Xiaosan smiled, "Don't stew it for now, let's also use it to spread the news. It's nothing right now, maybe it will be used in the future."

"It is."

Tu Xiaosan was a little worried again, and said, "Now that the Governor of the Kang family has seen it, and given us his nest in Longcheng, I think the Xie family will not let it go."

"Illegal salt is such a big piece of fat, if it doesn't bleed out, no one will be happy to ask anyone to let it go." Lin Jing didn't eat much by himself, so he picked up a chopsticks of braised mutton for Tu Xiaosan.

"You asked Er Qingzi to go to Jinling. I remember that when we were in Jinling, there was a general in Jinling named Xie. This official usually served every three years, but it has been several years. Maybe it is still controlled by Xie. to Jinling City."

"That's because you didn't read the mansion newspaper carefully. After the rebellion in Jinling subsided this spring, it was clearly written in the mansion newspaper. At that time, the imperial court rewarded military exploits, and there was a third-rank commander named Xie Changsi. It can be seen that he was promoted. .”

Tu Xiaosan couldn't help saying, "Speaking of which, this Duke Xie is really a capable person, from Jinzhou City in the north to Jinling Mansion in the south, there is no place he can't reach."

"This is the difficulty of this old fox."

"Don't worry about it." Tu Xiaosan picked up two green vegetables for him, and said, "Eat some more, after eating well, we can compete."

Lin Jing didn't look at his young age. He never thought that he would be inferior to Xie Guogong. Lin Jing always believed that Xie Guogong just relied on the accumulation of contacts over the years.

However, given Lin Jing's strict control over Hanjin Ercheng, he probably never expected that just after he sent Chen Erqing out, Xie Guogong got Lin Jing's portrait.

Although Xie Guogong still doesn't know the specific situation of Jinzhou City, how did he lose so many people.When he saw the portrait of Tu Xiaosan, Xie Guogong felt strange at first glance, knowing that he did not recognize this person.However, when his eyes touched the portrait of Lin Jing, Xie Guogong couldn't help but gasped, and said in a broken voice, "Why did this evil star go to the north? Didn't it mean that it went west to Muzhou Mansion?"

The evil star didn't go to Muzhou Mansion, but went north.

At this time, Xie Guogong is not surprised why his own people have repeatedly missed, but, although Jinzhou City is only a poor place, but the profit of private salt is heavy, if Xie Guogong is asked to let go like this, it is really a cut.

What's more, the brothers of the Lin family really had a good idea. One was promoted in the imperial capital, and the other made a fortune outside. Alas, Xie Guogong couldn't help thinking, these two brothers could not have negotiated well.

Xie Guogong knew that it was Lin Jing who occupied Jinzhou City, so he knew it.He was not the same as before. In a fit of rage, he sent assassins to kill Lin Jing. Lin Jing killed several groups of people. While Xie Guogong was heartbroken, he also understood that this evil star learned how to kill in the imperial capital. With His Majesty's own father, I'm afraid there will be no restraint outside.What's more, the fact that Lin Jing dared to chop off Xie's family's hand in Jinzhou City meant that there was no shortage of useful people around him.Xie Guogong didn't need to use the assassins when Jinzhou City was captured by Lin Jing. At this moment, the assassins were of little use, but they were sacrificing their hands for nothing.

Xie Guogong is not a person without opinions, he just found a time to whisper to His Majesty about Lin Jing's stay in Jinzhou City.Chen Qibao was silent for a moment, then Fang said, "Didn't you say you went to Muzhou Mansion?"

"At first, the veteran also thought that he went to Muzhou Mansion, or Jinzhong, but he got a letter from Jinzhou, saying that he was in Jinzhou."

Chen Qibao was obviously unwilling to talk more about Lin Jing, and said, "Jinzhou is just Jinzhou, what happened that day also happened for a reason, so there's no need to mention it again."

Although the Duke of Xiangyang is not a good person, His Majesty's understatement of killing his father and enemy is still beyond Xie Guogong's expectation. Xie Guogong asked, "Would you like to check it? Four soldiers died."

Chen Qibao said, "Isn't there a reason for everything? Why, do you think it was Lin Jing's hand? He has the ability to kill a senior member of the second rank, and four in a row?" Chen Qibao just didn't like Lin Jing, I don't think Lin Jing has such a skill.

Xie Guogong hesitated to speak, and finally, showing a bit of embarrassment, Fang said, "I don't know if he has such abilities, but this matter should be left to others, but he hesitated a lot, after all, he is a second-rank official of the imperial court. But Lin Jing doesn't care about this."

Chen Qibao was furious for a while, he understood what Xie Guogong meant, it was nothing more than saying that Duke Xiangyang was still a first-rank Duke back then, so he should be slaughtered by Lin Jing as usual.However, Chen Qibao is Chen Qibao after all, he said flatly, "This year, Jinling is facing a catastrophe, and there are rebels. The imperial court collects grain, and other places are procrastinating and complaining, but Jinzhou City handed over the grain in time. Come up. Although it is [-]% less than the imperial court's levy, the Duke also knows the situation in Jinzhou City. It has been a remote place since ancient times, and there are few people. In recent years, even the salt class has increased by two become."

Xie Guogong almost choked to death on Chen Qibao's words.

Xie Guogong said with emotion, "Yes, in the past in the imperial capital, he was really a very delicate child. The first mother and empress doted on him all the way up. Lin Guogong is the elder brother, but he is the weak brother. A dignified person like Lin Guogong is strict and solemn to his son. , Only for this younger brother, I feel very distressed. If I hadn't heard about him by chance, I would not have believed that the noble son of the past had gone to such a remote place. Your Majesty, would you like to reward him as an official. "

Although Chen Qibao had praised Jinzhou City a few words, but hearing Xie Guogong's words was somewhat unpleasant.Chen Qibao said, "That's all."

Seeing His Majesty's description like this, Xie Guogong was determined, thinking, His Majesty is really a saint, it is possible that he can really see the killing of his father and enemy in his eyes.Xie Guogong said, "I don't know how he is in Jinzhou City now, whether he has donated an official, or what, Your Majesty, do you want to check?"

"What did the Duke say?"

Xie Guogong said, "Your Majesty is merciful, but I think this Lin Jing has a cruel and arrogant temper. To be honest, the old minister is really not at ease."

Chen Qibao said lightly, "Then check it out."

Xie Guogong led the decree.
