Chapter 78: Grain for Silver(1/2)
At this time, the scene was silent, as if they had not yet recovered from the previous incident.
Jia Yun squatted in front of Jia Yu's body, sneered, stretched out his hand to lift Jia Yu's embroidered robe, and wiped the blood on the sword.
"You killed our general." Du Wei of the Yangzhou camp drew his sword and shouted at Jia Yun after he came to his senses.
Jia Yun turned around and glanced at the soldiers in the Yangzhou camp. Seeing their tense appearance, Jia Yun stood up unhurriedly, sheathed his sword and said sternly: "Jia Yu disobeys military orders and must be killed according to the law."
Waiting to draw the sword and face each other, it is desire...rebellion!..."
Everyone in the Yangzhou Camp had expressions on their faces. Just as Jia Yun said, Jia Yun held the military talisman of the Yangzhou Camp and had issued a military order earlier. Yangzhou soldiers and horses were not allowed to move, and they were not allowed to enter Dongguan Street without permission. This was a military order.
No matter what the reason was for Jia Ai, he was responsible for disobeying military orders, and Jia Yun could indeed be dealt with according to military law.
But no one expected Jia Yun to be so decisive. As soon as Jia Yun stepped into the alley with his right foot, he killed him with thunderous means, without giving him any chance to go to court.
Listening to Jia Yun's gloomy words, these generals and colonels in the Yangzhou camp couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Jia Yun snorted, and everyone's expressions were as expected by Jia Yun. As the saying goes, "Snakes can't walk without heads, and birds can't fly without heads." Jia Yun is dead, and the people below naturally dare not treat Jia Yun as a temporary person.
The leader of the Yangzhou camp is rude.
If Jia Yun is offended and they are held accountable for leaving their posts without permission, it will be unbearable, especially the "rebellion" in Jia Yun's mouth, which will even affect their relatives.
The Law of the Great Qian Dynasty says: "Anyone who conspires to rebel or conspires with great treason will be executed in Lingchi regardless of the leader or subordinate. The offender is the grandfather, father, son, grandson, brother and the person who lives with him, and there is no distinction between uncle, uncle, father and brother's son.
, regardless of whether they are of the same or different age and are over sixteen years old, regardless of whether they are serious or sick, they will all be killed."
We are all soldiers, just making a living, there is no need to get yourself and your relatives into trouble for a dead man.
Yangzhou Camp Du Wei's eyes changed, and he immediately retracted his sword and said respectfully: "I don't dare, I will obey your orders."
Immediately, everyone looked at each other and saluted respectfully: "I will obey your orders."
Jia Yun nodded. He was a smart man. Jia Yun had military talismans in his hands. As long as these people dared to take action, it would be rebellion and the crime should not be punished.
Even if there are a few brave men who want to "ask for justice" for their generals, the salt soldiers around Jia Yun are not vegetarians.
Immediately, Jia Yun ordered: "I remind you to patrol your respective jurisdictions. If there is any disadvantage, my sword will not show mercy."
Yangzhou Camp Du Wei looked at Jia Yun and said, "Yes."
Jia Yun waved his hand, and the people in the Yangzhou camp retreated. As for Jia Ai's body, no one dared to talk about it.
After the soldiers from the Yangzhou camp retreated, Jia Yun turned his head and told Zhang Sheng: "Zhang Sheng, take the salt soldiers to pay attention to the situation in the Wu family. If the victims make too much noise, lead people to stop it, but don't use force.
, just ask them to come out, there is no need to drive away the victims outside the house, let them stay outside the house."
Although Jia Yun incited the victims to cause trouble, they should not go too far. If the victims started to rob, and the homes of wealthy businessmen were robbed, where would the money come from to donate? If there was no money to donate, Jia Yun's errand would not be completed.
However, to stop them, we cannot drive away these disaster victims, nor can we make them fearful. After all, only the aggressive victims can put pressure on these wealthy businessmen and gentry, right?
Zhang Sheng said in a deep voice: "I obey my orders."
Jia Yun nodded, and the soldiers and horses of the Yangzhou camp were restrained. Naturally, there was no need to worry about the rest. All that was left was to see the reaction of the powerful merchants and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. There was no need for Jia Yun to watch it personally, and left it to Just the people below.
As for worrying about the thoughts of the generals in the Yangzhou camp, haha...these soldiers are soldiers of the Qian Dynasty, not private soldiers. If they don't want to be executed, they can only obey Jia Yun's orders.
Yawning, Jia Yun walked away, giving instructions as he walked: "Zhang Sheng, please pay close attention. I will go back to Yanzheng Yamen to report to the prince first. If anything goes wrong, send someone to inform me."
After saying this, Jia Yun left directly without waiting for Zhang Sheng to answer.
Zhang Sheng was frightened at this time. He was really startled by Jia Yun's unusual "ruthlessness" and hurriedly responded.
........
The Wu family's residence.
In the main hall, more than a dozen people were in shock, even Wu Hai. If he had not agreed to the request of these victims and promised to distribute food outside the mansion, these victims would not know what would happen.
The old housekeeper came from the back hall, stepped forward and whispered to Wu Hai: "Master, the ladies are just a little frightened, and they are all resting now."
Wu Hai nodded and suppressed the anger in his heart. These ignorant people even broke into the back house. If they had not agreed quickly, there is no telling what would have happened and made them the laughing stock of Yangzhou scholars.
The housekeeper retreated, Wu Hai looked gloomy, his eyes were gloomy, and he said: "I must make that Jia boy good-looking."
Obviously, the Wu family blamed Jia Yun for this matter.
Everyone also nodded after hearing this. Jia Yun's move undoubtedly gave them a reason. They have close relations with the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government, and they must be arranging to impeach Jia Yun so that he can't bear the consequences and walk away.
The head of the Qian family said angrily: "When Jia Zhen comes with his troops, these mud-legged people will not be spared. They will all be dealt with."
The victims broke into the main hall and were pushed and pushed. Many people were slightly injured. The red marks on the Qian family's foreheads were caused by being pushed and pushed by the victims.
In the eyes of wealthy merchants and gentry, the victims were not worth mentioning. No matter how many people died, it would not matter. What was hateful was that they almost fell into the hands of these mud-legged people. No matter how they shouted, they ignored them. At this time, they dismissed the victims. Naturally, I feel angry.
Moreover, arrangements are now being made for food to be distributed outside the mansion. If Jia Ai does not come earlier, when the food is gone, there will inevitably be another riot, and the victims will not be so easy to talk to.
Everyone also agreed with the idea of the head of the Qian family. Anyway, anyone who was disrespectful to them would not be spared.
Just as everyone was venting their anger, the housekeeper came in in a panic and hurriedly reported: "Master, something big has happened."
Wu Hai raised his brows and couldn't help but panic, and asked hurriedly: "What happened, but those mud-legged people are not honest again?"
The housekeeper shook his head and said: "The victims have calmed down, but something happened to the Yangzhou camp?"
"Yangzhou camp?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Sun Ming frowned and said, "Is it because Jia Ai doesn't want to come forward?"
In their view, Jia Yu has been the commander of the Yangzhou camp for many years, and there is no way that someone else could be deprived of his military power with just a military talisman. The only possibility is that Jia Yu is unwilling to wade into this muddy water. Although there is a "legitimate reason", but After all, you have to bear the responsibility.
The head of the Qian family snorted coldly: "How dare he? If we hadn't provided the money, would he have been able to take the position of general?"
After saying this, the head of the Qian family said to the steward: "Go and tell him that we can make him sit in the position of the general of the Yangzhou camp, and we can also pull him down."
Everyone in the hall not only helped Jia Zhen become the general of the Yangzhou camp, but also gave him dividends every year. Now that something happened, he wanted to stay out of it. I want to ask everyone here, who would agree?
The housekeeper swallowed his saliva and said bitterly: "Then Jia Yun killed General Jia Shen in the street, and all the soldiers and horses of the Yangzhou camp withdrew."
"Hiss..." Wu Hai, who was sitting in the main seat, took a breath of cold air and murmured: "How dare Mr. Shu do this..."
Jia Yu is an uncle of Jia Yun's clan. Does Jia Yun dare to kill him?
The butler replied: "General Jia Shen's body is still at the entrance of the alley, and no one dares to touch it."
At this time, Wu Hai's face was gloomy, he said nothing, and he seemed to be calculating something in his heart.
The white-haired Sun Ming said solemnly: "Master Wu, what should we do next?"
Jia Ai died, and the other people in Yangzhou Camp did not even dare to fart, which means that Yangzhou Camp has been suppressed by Jia Yun at this time, and Yangzhou Camp cannot be counted on.
Without soldiers to protect them, their safety cannot be guaranteed.
Wu Hai groaned and sighed: "What else can we do? This kid doesn't recognize his relatives. If he gets really desperate, we might end up following Jia Ai's footsteps."
Jia Yun dared to kill even his own relatives, let alone wealthy merchants and gentry like them who had nothing to do with him! For the sake of safety, Wu Hai's tone softened, as if he was planning to compromise.
The head of the Qian family shouted unconvinced: "How dare that kid? We haven't broken any laws, so what right does he have to touch us?"
Don't look at Jia Yun's military power. Now is the "peace and prosperity" and Jia Yun cannot act recklessly. If Jia Yun dares to take action today, he will be buried with him tomorrow.
The silver-haired Sun Ming shook his head when he heard this. It's a pity that the head of the Qian family doesn't know the situation at hand. Judging from the current situation, if Jia Yun wants to attack them, he only needs to incite the victims, and there is no need to go to the scene personally.
, Jia Yunzai can just take action to solve the problem after the victims of the disaster have finished "making a big fuss".
If we file a complaint immediately, I'm afraid it will be in vain.
The imperial envoy is the emperor's brother, the loyal and obedient king, so Jia Yun must have received approval for his actions. However, they refused to donate money for disaster relief and hated the imperial envoy. Comparing the two, Jia Yun's "negligence" can be completely dismissed.
How can he be cured of his sins...
Sun Ming ignored the Qian family's Adou, who was being helped up by the Wu family, and said directly to Wu Hai: "Master Wu, although we have stored a batch of grain, we have placed it all in the outer city. There are nearly a thousand disaster victims outside the house. In addition,
There are also a steady stream of disaster victims coming. With so many disaster victims, I am afraid that there will be insufficient food left in the government. The victims who cannot receive food will riot, which will be disadvantageous to us...
What's more, even if we have enough food, it cannot guarantee our safety."
The scene of the disaster victims breaking in before was still in my mind. If this happened again, their lives would be lost.
Sun Ming's words also meant to remind Wu Hai to make an early decision.
Wu Hai didn't know Sun Ming's implication that without soldiers to protect them, these thousands of victims would be a disaster. Even if there was enough food, Jia Yun would not let the victims be satisfied.
Sighing, Wu Hai said helplessly: "I am a knife-sitter, and I am a fish and meat. Let's settle it as soon as possible. Let's pledge to donate!"
After a pause, Wu Hai continued: "I will set an example and pledge to donate 300,000 taels..."
.............................
Yanzheng Yamen.
At this time, King Zhongshun looked at Jia Yun with a complicated expression, and was surprised by Jia Yun's "righteousness to destroy relatives" behavior.
If this matter is to be accomplished, the Yangzhou camp must be suppressed, and the key to suppressing the Yangzhou camp is to suppress the general of the Yangzhou camp, Jia Qi.
I originally thought that Jia Yun would only capture Jia Qi, but I never thought that his method would be so decisive.
After pondering for a moment, King Zhongshun said: "In this case, those salt merchants must also bow their heads."
Jia Yun killed Jia Ai in the street, which all showed that Jia Yun was ruthless. If the salt merchants were smart, they would not resist.
However, these salt merchants are able to amass money and must have good minds. The current situation is not obvious.
Jia Yun naturally knew it well and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if the official thinks well, the results will be obtained after tonight."
The Yangzhou camp that these wealthy households could count on was suppressed by Jia Yun, and there was no external aid. The checkpoints in Yangzhou were also guarded by Jia Yun's people. The news could not be spread for a short time. In the dilemma, they were surrounded by a group of victims, sleeping.
To be continued...
