Jia Qiang paused, but decided to tell the truth: "Guzuzhang, I have a prescription for taking ice in my hand. Even in the scorching summer, I can continue to take ice and sell it. The Feng family relies on taking ice to make money Huge profits. Once my prescription is put into use and sold at a large price reduction, it will be difficult for Feng's ice room to last for a long time, and his family's cost is too high."

Lin Ruhai looked strangely, looked at Jia Qiang and said, "How could you have such a recipe... However, I remember that Shen Cunzhong's "Mengxi Bi Tan" recorded the method of making ice with saltpeter. In the Song Dynasty, various There are quite a few icehouses. It’s just that after hundreds of years of war, the specific recipe of how to make ice has long since been cut off. Nowadays, the effect of making ice with saltpeter alone is not good. You are..."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Guzuzhang, I am proficient in this way."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang deeply, then smiled and said, "If that's the case, then you have a golden mountain in your body. It's just that Yangzhou Mansion not only has an ice cellar in Feng's family, but Xu's also has an ice cellar. It's not right to offend a Feng family. Hurry up, if even the Xu family is offended, and I return to Beijing next year, what will you do?"

It is better to kill one's parents than kill one's parents.

Lin Ruhai thought to himself that when he was in charge of the Yanyuan Yamen, no one would bully Jia Qiang, and no one would dare.

But once he returned to Beijing, the tea would be cold as soon as the people in the officialdom left. By then, it would be difficult for Jia Qiang to continue to gain a foothold.

As for the Jinshan that Jia Qiang cherished, he had nothing to think about except a little surprise.

Although he has been raising as much salt tax as possible for the emperor these years, Lin Ruhai himself is not very interested in money. He is not a person who likes luxury.

Although the wealth accumulated by the ancestors of the Lin family's fourth generation is not rich, it is still enough for him and the orphaned daughter.

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "As my aunt said, I'm a native of the province, so it's not easy to offend the local nobles. Therefore, I don't plan to open an ice room by myself, and I don't plan to show it to the public. If it's appropriate If so, I think it would be most convenient to cooperate with the Xu family. You can also benefit from my aunt's glory and negotiate a good price so that you won't suffer a loss in equity.

Once the negotiation is settled, there will be no room for Feng's ice room in the market in the future.In this way, it can be regarded as recovering some face for today. "

Lin Ruhai shook his head and smiled when he heard the words: "Your Uncle Chen and the head of the Feng family had a good relationship, and you want to take this opportunity to make a favor with the Feng family. Looking at it now, it's really..."

However, at this point, the smile on Lin Ruhai's face gradually faded, and he asked Jia Qiang, "Brother Qiang, what's going on between you and your second uncle Lian, and between you and Jia's family?"

Chapter 156 Revealed (Please subscribe! Please ask for a monthly pass!)

Jia Qiang calmly told the grievances between him and the Jia family, including the cause of his parents' death that he learned from his uncle Liu Laoshi.

And those dirty things in Rongning Second Mansion...

"That's all I have seen, and there are many other things I have heard, so I won't say much."

Jia Qiang spoke for a full hour before stopping.

Lin Ruhai's complexion did not change as Jia Qiang expected, his expression paled, his eyes remained calm.

Jia Qiang suddenly understood, in fact, looking through the history books, which dynasty or generation of aristocratic families or even the royal family was not the place where the filth was hidden?

Lin Ruhai is well versed in ancient and modern times, how could he be shocked by those dirty things?

However, Lin Ruhai still sighed after all, and said: "I don't know much about the Ning Mansion. In the Rong Mansion, I thought the old lady..." Shaking his head, as the son-in-law of the Rong Mansion, he couldn't say much.

After a pause, Lin Ruhai asked Jia Qiang, "In your opinion, the Jia family must be defeated?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said: "If the Jia family is a law-abiding generation, it is not impossible to get a hundred years of wealth based on the legacy and heritage left by their ancestors. However, I see their arrogance and extravagance are getting stronger and stronger. With daily use, less incoming and more outgoing, coupled with lax housekeeping, the slaves are more powerful than the master. If the master has a share, they will take half of it, and sometimes they can even take most of it. If things go on like this, it will be a Jinshan is not enough to lose. What's more, Jia's elders wantonly squandered the shadow of their ancestors, incense and favors, and this is what really kills them."

Lin Ruhai said "Oh" and asked, "So what do you say?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "They thought that the favors left by Xianrong Kingdom were endless, and they could use them however they wanted, but they didn't know that those precious favors would be lost once they were used. After all, the ancestors are no longer here. Gu Zu In front of my husband, let me say something presumptuous. The second uncle of Xifu used a lot of favors left by the Rong Kingdom to push Prince Teng of the Wang family and a Jia Yucun to the top. !"

Lin Ruhai, who had never changed his face, frowned deeply this time for the first time. Not only that, he even sat up with his back, looked directly at Jia Qiang and said in a deep voice, "Brother Qiang, you mean, Yucun ?”

Jia Qiang nodded, said roughly what she could say, and finally said: "Whether it is true or not, my aunt just needs to send someone to the place where Jia Yucun became an official for the first time, and check if there is any seal there." As for the clan, does the Feng clan have a son-in-law of the Zhen clan of Gusu, or has they ever lost a granddaughter? Jia Yucun once received such great kindness from others, but when the benefactor’s orphaned daughter was in trouble, he did so, which shows how cold-hearted he is.”

Lin Ruhai's complexion was ugly and tight, and his brows never loosened, and he didn't even want to speak again.

Jia Yucun is different from the Jia family. He has personally met and thought about it, and he thinks he can be cultivated.

Over the years, he has secretly checked his official voice, and the news that comes back is very good, and his official voice is quite good.

How can this be so?

However, Jia Qiang even said the surname and origin of the benefactor so clearly, it is obvious that she is not talking about it, if it is true, it is really too hateful.

You know, in the testament he submitted before his death, besides Chen Rong, Jia Yucun was the recommended person.

If this person is so ungrateful and human nature is so bad, he is really blind! !

In recommending Jia Yucun in the will, I originally thought that when he passed away, it might not be safe for Daiyu to rely solely on her grandmother's family.Jia Yucun can be regarded as Daiyu's enlightenment mentor, coupled with the great kindness of recommending, he will always take care of him.

Can there be a lesson from Zhen Yinglian, and Jia Yucun can still be counted on to protect Daiyu?

"Grandpa..."

Jia Qiang saw Lin Ruhai's complexion turned ugly, and wanted to persuade him, but he shook his head and said indifferently: "Brother Qiang, you did a good job in this matter. Jia Yucun was originally your Aunt Lin's teacher, I Seeing that he is talented and knowledgeable, I recommended him to brother Yu Cunzhou, and helped him become an official. I thought it would be a great help, but if this person really has such a human nature... I and Cunzhou both thank you You report him, otherwise, you will be cheated by this person. Tomorrow I will send someone to Yucheng to find out the matter. If it is true, you have your own calculations. It is getting late, you go and rest. Tomorrow , and go to the Plum Garden for a banquet.”

Hearing this, Jia Qiang stood up and said, "Yes, aunt."

……

The Feng family's mansion in the north city of Yangzhou.

Feng Jian looked bitter, and looked at Chen Rong, who was furious, and said, "Brother Mian, the Feng family is really... wronged this time! Who would have thought that the status of the Jia family's younger brother is better than that of the elders of the official government. More respected? In this world, how many people have the same fate as that little friend? The Feng family really..."

Chen Rong's face was gloomy, and his heart was suffocating. He said in a deep voice: "Anyway, let's get rid of the Qinghe gang as soon as possible. All the gangsters who can't get on the table, the rabble, your Feng family raised those things to make money. very?!"

Feng Jian was speechless, and his son Feng Cheng bowed and said, "Master Chen, it's not that my Feng family is willing to degenerate, but the situation in Yangzhou Prefecture is really complicated. Huizhou merchants raise countless desperadoes, if the Feng family has no power to protect themselves , it is inevitable that someone will plot against him."

Chen Rong was furious when he heard the words, and said sharply: "Then setting up a trap to harm people and blocking the road is also to avoid being plotted by others? Your Feng family is willing to be a dog with others for a mere 3000 taels of silver?"

Feng Cheng was furious when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to talk too much. Right now, it was all up to Chen Rong, the censor, to be thorough. After being scolded by Feng Jian, he bowed down to plead guilty.

Chen Rong didn't want to talk to him, but said to Feng Jian: "Brother Xixian, disband the Qinghe gang immediately, send those who should be sent to prison, and those who have their lives paid for their lives, and your nephew will also be sent to prison. At this time, It's not the time for women's benevolence!"

Feng Jian was embarrassed when he heard this. Although Feng Ke was only a family nephew, he grew up with Feng Ke's father. Before his death, Feng Ke's father entrusted Feng Ke to him.

Because of this, Feng Ke really grew up in his home, with his eldest son Feng Cheng.

It was originally recommended by Feng Cheng that Feng Ke took over the Qinghe gang, because Feng Ke was loyal to Feng Cheng.

If he was asked to personally send Feng Ke to prison, or even to the guillotine, how could he bear it?

Seeing Feng Jian's hesitation, Chen Rong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xixian, that's all I said, and I won't repeat it. The only thing I can do for you now is to send you to the Yanyuan Yamen Prison Where to go, you can do it yourself."

After all, get up and leave.

The Patriarch of the Feng Family, Feng Jian, was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Chen Rong was very disappointed and didn't want to stay any longer, so he left.
