Honglouchun

Unexpectedly, before Jia Qiang came back, Prince Zhongshun had already brought people to prepare for the execution.

As the minutes passed, Aunt Xue felt like a blunt knife killing people slowly brewing medicine. There was a rope twisted around her neck, trying to strangle her to death little by little!

Baochai's complexion was also a little pale, but after more than a month of hard work, she really lost a lot of light.

A pair of apricot eyes that were usually gentle and generous, now looked so big on the thin face, but the eyes were a little more gloomy...

Seeing Aunt Xue's continuous tears and clasped hands to pray to all the Buddhas in the sky, she said softly: "Mom, don't be alarmed. Brother Qiang is back, and he will settle this matter."

For the past month, helpless, she has missed Jia Qiang to the point that she will never forget it.

Xue Pan was wounded and lay in bed, half of his tongue was cut off, and the screams when he applied the medicine every day was like slaughtering a pig, and he was in pain.

Hearing her own brother's fate, she hated him for not being up to date, speaking out loud, provoking trouble, but also heartbroken.

After all, after his father passed away, Xue Pan was the only male in the Xue family and her close relative...

If Xue Pan was beaten again, whether Xue Pan could handle it, he would say that he was in too much pain, and he would argue later and refused to change the medicine...

Therefore, all Baochai's hopes are on Jia Qiang.

She never thought that one day she would be so dependent on a man and pin all her hopes on him...

However, when Aunt Xue heard her words, she cried: "Silly girl, everyone now regards your brother as a burden to others. How many people have come to warn us orphans and widows? Is it useless? Fengzihao is gone, and it has become someone else's family business. Your brother wants to be stubborn with him, but he is ignored. He has the nephew of the prince, prince, and queen as companions. He is Lord Hou, and he is embroidered clothes. Commander Wei, the emperor and the empress are in pain, which tablet is your brother on? He will defy the emperor's will and excuse your brother and beg for mercy? He will send your brother first if he is not allowed to come back... My son! Who told your father to go early, we orphans and widows have nothing to rely on!"

Baochai's complexion became paler, with tears in her big eyes, she said softly, "Mom, I won't."

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of crying, and the woman in charge came in and cried in fear: "Madam, it's amazing, madam, it's amazing! Those poor men outside called in and wanted to take the uncle to kill him." head!"

When Aunt Xue heard the words, she rolled her eyes up and passed out.

Baochai hugged Aunt Xue with difficulty, her eyes full of desolation and helplessness, listening to the noise outside, she couldn't bear it any longer, and cried out in fear...

Fortunately, Jia Zheng came in at this time, saw this scene and sighed, "Help my aunt to the kang soon." Then he said to Baochai, "Don't panic, niece, just let people take Pan'er to the front and wait. Brother Qiang has not come back yet, everything will be counted when Brother Qiang comes back."

Hearing this, Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes for a while, thanked Jia Zheng, sent Aunt Xue to the kang with his mother, and whispered words of comfort in Aunt Xue's ear.

After Aunt Xue Youyou woke up, before she could speak, she heard a shrill "pig cry" not far from the window, rolled her eyes, and passed out again...

Jia Zheng hurried out and stood at the door, in case people from the clan's mansion rushed in by mistake...

Seeing several people carrying Xue Pan away like a New Year's pig, Jia Zheng looked extremely ugly, but he was powerless.

The winter snow is falling, and the wind is cold.

Looking at a pear tree that has already shed its dead leaves in the courtyard, it is full of desolation.

Thinking about the current situation of Jia's family, Jia Zheng felt so sad that he couldn't help but shed two tears.

When his father Jia Daishan was alive, who would dare to treat the Jia family like this?

But at this moment, suddenly saw a young boy in green clothes scrambling in, shouting loudly: "Master Hou, Master Hou has returned with a message! Master Hou has returned with a message!"

Jia Zheng's expression was shocked suddenly, and he said, "Brother Qiang is back?"

In the room, Baochai suddenly raised her head, and Aunt Xue also sat up abruptly, straightened her neck and looked outside...

I heard the young man say: "I haven't come back yet, I said that I want to send the princess of the Yin family home first..."

Hearing this, Baochai's newly brightened eyes dimmed in an instant.

Aunt Xue showed signs of fainting again, crumbling...

But then I heard the servant say again: "Your Majesty let someone tell you, it was the previous will, and you must fight in front of him. If he doesn't come back, anyone who dares to move a finger of my lord will be punished." Repay tenfold!"

The corner of Baochai's mouth raised slightly, she did not make a mistake after all...

……

Zhu Chao Street, Feng An Fang.

Enter Yin Jiaxuan Charity Hall.

After Jia Qiang saw the ceremony, before Mrs. Yin Jiatai could speak, the eldest wife Qin said: "Look at Brother Hao, who has been running around outside for a while, he has become darker and thinner. Brother Qiang, why do you look more and more handsome?" Quite a lot? If this continues, how can you let the world's women live? It's not as handsome as a brother like you!"

Jia Qiang said with a chuckle: "The eldest lady feels sorry for Fifth Brother, so she just said, yes, yes, the prince and I have been lazy, please trouble Fifth Brother, I will bow to him!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed in the direction of Yin Hao to the side and saluted.

Yin Hao got up to avoid it, and scolded with a smile: "Be less frivolous!"

Mrs. Yin Jiatai smiled and said: "Qiang'er asked Hao'er to do things because he has more important things to do. I heard from my mother that you have a heavy burden on you. Many scholars in the Wuying Hall are looking forward to your early return. They are waiting for the rice to cook. Is this trip going well?"

The second wife, Sun Shi, wondered: "Didn't it mean that it was to escort Lin Xiangye's beloved daughter back to the hometown to visit the grave and worship? Why is there a tolerance?"

Mrs. Yin Jiatai smiled bluntly and said, "What do you eat? Even if you only go back to your hometown to sweep the tomb, that's what you should do. However, if that's the only way, how can the emperor release him? He still has important errands on him."

Jia Qiang nodded, and said: "There is an imperial envoy, who went to Jiangnan to sell some bank stocks and exchanged them for silver, and asked those people to use the silver to buy grain and rice...It went smoothly."

Mrs. Yin Jiatai smiled and said: "What the court needs is not a small sum? Have you done everything?"

Jia Qiang didn't want to show off at first, but since Mrs. Yin Jiatai asked, Yin Ziyu kept looking at him, and wanted to know what he did during his trip to the south of the Yangtze River, so he said: "A total of 2000 million taels were sold. I let them go to Siam, Annan Waiting for the country to buy grain and rice to prevent the severe drought next year. Now the first batch of [-] shi is on the way, and it should be able to reach the capital by the end of the year. I didn't expect that the imperial court might use a lot of grain and grass, so it happened just in time Yes, it’s a great achievement.”

There was a moment of silence in Xuan Ci Hall, and 2000 million taels of silver exploded like a thunderbolt, knocking them out of their minds.

Even Yin Ziyu looked at Jia Qiang in surprise.

Jia Qiang explained: "It's not the money I conjured out of thin air. Even if it wasn't me, someone else could sell the shares of the Household Bank's bank and sell them for an astronomical sum. It contains Tianjia's reputation, and In the name of your empress’ virtue. If it’s just me, it’s not worth so much money if you sell me. This is the royal bank, so it’s worth so much.”

After a while, Mrs. Yin's wife finally calmed down, took a deep look at Jia Qiang, and said worriedly: "Be sure to let everyone know this statement, Qiang'er, this merit cannot be touched!"

Where is this still gong?

If the credit is so great, it is clearly a crime!

Moreover, from now on, whenever the court lacks money, it will definitely think of Jia Qiang first.

It is normal to get it out, but it is a crime not to get it out.

But the imperial court uses silver, who can afford to fill this bottomless pit?

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, old lady, what merits are there now? It would be good if the merits and demerits are balanced."

Mrs. Yin Jiatai wondered: "Why is that?"

Jia Qiang said: "Before in the palace, in front of the emperor and several senior scholars, I asked, should the deeds done by the third son of the emperor, Li Xiao, be killed or not?"
