Chapter 254 Grandpa Zhao is here to meet you
Shopkeeper Jiang looked at Liu Jiang's back as he left, feeling a little nervous.
He didn't care about the fact that those three idiots sold 100,000 taels less.
But Liu Jiang gave the money so readily, it must be something bad.
"Little brother, take your young lady away quickly. The faster the better. If anyone follows you, go to a crowded place and shout loudly that you have done business with Fan Tongzhi. Quick!"
Ayan looked at Shopkeeper Jiang's anxious face and smiled slightly.
"Thank you, boss. We'll leave now."
After Miss Yang and Xiao Wu finished speaking, they nodded to Manager Jiang, and the three of them got on the carriage and left quickly.
In his haste, Shopkeeper Jiang didn't even notice that after Liu Jiang left, the three of them were secretly led by Ayan.
Xiao Wu, who was driving the carriage, had already seen the people following them.
But he did not follow Manager Jiang's instructions to go to a busy place, but instead went to a secluded road.
Soon, the carriage was blocked in a dead end.
Seven or eight martial artists attacked the carriage with swords in hand.
Xiao Wu also drew his weapon and started fighting with those people.
"Your Grandpa Zhao is here to meet you!"
Although he was skilled in martial arts, it was very difficult for him to face seven or eight strong men who knew martial arts while also taking care of the people in the carriage.
The second young master is too unreliable. Where is the helper he promised?
Xiao Wu is of course Zhao Xingwu.
He was complaining about Li Jixin in his heart, and was distracted so much that he was almost hit on the arm.
Zhao Xingwu felt his body lighten and he was pushed aside.
Yang Li, who used the alias Miss Yang, pulled Zhao Xingwu away and instantly killed the two big men with the double maces in her hands.
Zhao Xingwu was stunned by the scene before him.
He knew that Yang Li knew Kung Fu, but he didn't expect that Yang Li's Kung Fu was so good.
Zhao Xingwu was a little depressed. Yang Li looked about the same age as him, but even if there were two of them, they might not be able to defeat Yang Li.
But no matter how frustrated he was, Zhao Xingwu immediately rushed forward to stop them when he saw those people trying to escape.
Soon, three more people died, leaving only three big men lying on the ground, unable to get up.
"Tie them up."
Yang Li's voice was cold, and there was no trace of the fear he had just had in Xinxiang Pavilion.
Zhao Xingwu looked at Yang Li's cold and beautiful face, and his heart was beating fast.
He ignored the three men's pleas, blocked their mouths, and took out a rope to tie them up tightly.
Yang Li took the sword from Zhao Xingwu's hand, and with a few swishes, the three men's hands and feet were all gone.
Several people were twitching in pain.
Yang Li handed Zhao Xingwu another bottle of medicine.
"Stop the bleeding, don't let them die."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Zhao Xingwu felt his heart beating like a drum, but he didn't dare to look up at Yang Li.
Lu Yanyan was still dressed as Ayan and walked out of the carriage.
"Dalin, Wei Qing, why don't you come out and clean up the mess?"
Dalin and Wei Qing jumped off the wall.
"Miss/Madam, please leave first and leave this to us."
……
After changing their clothes and carriages, Lu Yanyan and the other two returned to the Fugui Restaurant in a dignified manner.
Li Jixin counted the 130,000 taels of silver notes and felt a little toothache.
A small Tongzhi could actually take out so much money and buy a necklace.
"I heard that the necklace was worth over 200,000 taels. Madam Han lost 100,000 taels. I will definitely help Madam Han recover this loss."
Lu Yanyan smiled without saying anything.
She bought this necklace for fun at a scenic spot, spending less than three thousand yuan on it, so it's not a good thing.
But I didn’t expect it to be so valuable in ancient times.
Before she left Jiyang, she asked Han Huaixi to take out a bunch of jewelry from the space.
Based on Chi Nai's words and Li Jixin's information, this pearl necklace was chosen.
Chi Nai was the maid that Lu Youtian bought for her when she was in Luocheng. She had previously worked at Fan Tongzhi's house...
At the residence of Magistrate Fan, Mrs. Fan repeatedly stroked the pearl necklace in her hand.
She had never seen jewelry like this before, and it was much better than she had imagined.
But she still had to get back the 130,000 taels.
They were just a few outsiders, so if they died, they died.
Mrs. Fan was laughing heartily.
When Mrs. Chen holds a birthday party and takes out her necklace, everyone in the room will be amazed.
"Madam, something bad has happened..."
Mrs. Fan's good mood was broken and she cursed angrily.
"Liu Jiang, are you looking for death?"
Liu Jiang's face was pale.
"Madam, of the eight people we sent, five died, and three were captured."
"what?"
Mrs. Fan was shocked and slammed the table and stood up.
"Didn't you say it was foolproof?"
Liu Jiang was also very anxious.
"Everything was going smoothly, but who knew we'd suddenly run into people from the garrison? Now those three are all with Lord Huang."
"Huanglianchun?"
Mrs. Fan was surprised, but also slightly relieved.
Although Huang Lianchun was also a fifth-rank official, he was a military general and had no competitive relationship with his master.
I think I can ask him for some flexibility...
Inside the Fugui Restaurant, Li Jixin was also telling Han Qingyun and others about the affairs of the Shangyang Prefecture officialdom.
Last year, Huang Lianchun was only a captain of a garrison.
Wuping County Magistrate Qian Yongda wrote a letter to Chen Su asking for help.
Qian Yongda didn't know what was going on in his mind, or maybe he knew Chen Su's character.
In addition to the letter to Chen Su, he also wrote another letter to Lin Pingyuan.
Lin Pingyuan immediately organized personnel to support Wuping County.
But Chen Su dissuaded him with various reasons.
In the end, Lin Pingyuan had no choice but to lead 30,000 people to Wuping County. When he arrived, the city gate of Wuping County had been broken.
Because of the events in Wuping County, the already bad relationship between Chen Su and Lin Pingyuan became even more conflicted.
Prefect Chen pretended to recommend Lin Pingyuan to Emperor Zhaowen.
Who would have known that Emperor Zhaowen was so eager to employ people that he promoted Lin Pingyuan to the third-rank General Guide and stationed him in Minzhou Prefecture.
Lin Pingyuan went to Minzhou Prefecture, and the garrison position in Shangyang Prefecture became vacant.
Emperor Zhaowen did not know how to deploy troops.
Both Lin Pingyuan and Guan Shannian, whom he is currently strongly supporting, come from families of military generals.
But there was another more important reason why Emperor Zhaowen supported the two of them.
That is, he thought that these two people were not on good terms with Prince Lin.
Emperor Zhaowen was best at treating others like himself.
Guan Shannian is also a leader among the military families in Beijing.
Back then, he was quite popular among his peers in the martial arts hall.
But during his proudest youth, he was defeated by King Lin, who was younger than him, in less than ten moves.
The young man's self-esteem made Guan Shannian make a harsh statement at that time, that his goal in this life would be to defeat King Lin.
Li Jixin didn't know whether Guan Shannian took it seriously, but Emperor Zhaowen did.
Han Qingyun has had contact with Guan Shannian several times. This man is generous and open-minded.
When Prince Lin's reputation fell into disrepute last year, Guan Shannian mentioned him with only admiration and pity, but he had no intention of stepping on him.
As for Lin Pingyuan, Li Jixin's smile was a little playful.
Lin Pingyuan's greatest characteristic is his loyalty to the emperor, followed by his extremely strong love and hate.
No matter who is on the throne, he is Lin Pingyuan's heaven.
Anyone who has done Lin Pingyuan a favor will be promoted by Lin Pingyuan as long as it does not affect his image of loyalty to the emperor.
But if anyone offends Lin Pingyuan, Lin Pingyuan will remember it for the rest of his life.
Lin Pingyuan was not greedy for gold and silver, nor did he love beautiful women, and he had a good reputation in the army.
But this person is rigid and inflexible.
He fought only to win, regardless of the cost.
Twelve years ago, Minzhou Prefecture was attacked by the Dongling Kingdom, and the defending commander, General Dou, requested support from Emperor Huiren.
Emperor Huiren ordered Gao Siwei, deputy general under Prince Lin, and Lin Pingyuan, the governor of Xuanzhou Prefecture, to rush to the rescue.
Xuanzhou Prefecture is adjacent to Minzhou Prefecture. Lin Pingyuan acted very quickly and quickly organized a team to set off.
At that time, the only son of the great doctor Ye Jianan, Ye Chengjing, and his daughter-in-law Shen were providing free medical treatment to the people in Xuanzhou Prefecture.
Lin Pingyuan ignored their wishes and forcibly recruited them as military doctors.
When Lin Pingyuan arrived in Minzhou Prefecture, the Dayu Army and the Dongling Army were maintaining a delicate balance.
General Dou wanted to wait for Gao Siwei to arrive before counterattacking.
Lin Pingyuan strongly advocated sending troops immediately.
General Dou could not bear the pestering and finally agreed to counterattack.
In that battle, Dayu's victory was extremely tragic.
Of the 500,000 Fujian garrison troops and the reinforcements brought by Lin Pingyuan, 60,000 were killed and over 100,000 were injured.
Forty thousand Dongling troops were annihilated and retreated from Dayu territory...
