The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 102 【102】Qiang Dai chases the waves to the south of the Yangtze River, murderous intention hidden in the cabin

Jia Zhengda responded awe-inspiringly:

"Brother, don't embarrass me. You are also from the Jia family. You should think about our Jia family. If such a servant who turns against the master is left behind, our Jia family will be destroyed by this person sooner or later."

The corners of Jia Amnesty's lips twitched twice, Jia Zheng's words pierced his heart like a knife.

As the eldest son of the Jia family's Rongguo Mansion, Jia Amnesty really didn't think about the whole family of the Jia family, but only for his own interests.

In the past, he colluded with Wu Xindeng and embezzled money from the Jia family's public account. How could he care about the rise and fall of the Jia family?
Therefore, although Jia Zheng's words accused Wu Xindeng, they also slapped Jia Amnesty in the face at the same time.

Jia Amnesty was guilty of being a thief, curled his lips, and was embarrassed to continue pleading for Wu Xindeng.

Wu Xindeng saw that Jia Amnesty was silent, and immediately fell limp like a deflated ball, completely desperate, regretting in his heart:
If I hadn't offended Jia Qiang, I wouldn't have fallen into such a situation!

Thinking of this, Wu Xindeng hurriedly kowtowed to Jia Qiang and said:

"Brother Qiang, I was wrong, I apologize to you, and please don't remember the villain, please forgive me this time!"

Jia Qiang reprimanded coldly:

"For a slave like you with dirty hands and feet, staying in Jia's house is a disaster. This time, I not only want to seek justice for myself, but also get rid of you, a self-possessed moth, for Jia's house!"

"What?" Jia Zheng was taken aback, and asked in a voice:

"Brother Qiang, are you saying that Wu Xindeng also corrupted the money in Jia's account?"

Jia Qiang sneered and said:
"Whether he is greedy for money or not, Mr. Zheng will find out after checking."

As soon as this remark came out, Wu Xindeng's face turned pale immediately, and his whole body trembled like a sieve. He had embezzled a lot of money with Jia She in the past. If it was found out, it would not be as simple as kicking him out, but he might be enforced by the family law. Beat to death.

He is just a slave who has signed a death contract. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if this kind of slave is beaten to death by the master, he does not need to pay for his life.

Jia Amnesty next to him also turned pale. If he was found in the investigation, it would be a big disaster!
Although he, as the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, will not be beaten to death by the execution of the family law, he will inevitably be punished and admonished by Jia's mother, and he may not be able to get involved in the major expenditures of the Jia family in the future. way of making money.

Naturally, Jia Amnesty was very reluctant. He glanced at Wu Xindeng, and a subtle murderous look flashed in his cloudy old eyes.

As long as you kill this picky dog ​​slave, you can seal his mouth!

Jia Amnesty has already moved to kill Wu Xindeng, and wants to kill him to silence him, so there will be no proof.

Wu Xindeng felt the murderous look in Jia She's eyes, he was startled and frightened, desperate to the extreme, knowing that he would die, there is a poem saying:
"Everyone loves to hate,
Yan sharp mouth to the world.

At the time of writing, Bo Yong loves to leave,
It is not wrong to live for a false name and die. "

At this time, Jia Zheng looked at Jia Qiang with admiration in his eyes, and said with a smile:

"Brother Qiang, it's fortunate that you reminded me, otherwise, I would have almost let the moth Wu Xindeng go."

Jia Qiang smiled lightly, and said politely, "You are welcome, Mr. Zheng."

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Qiang with admiring eyes, nodded slightly and said:

"Neither humble nor overbearing, stable and generous, with a detached temperament, Brother Qiang is really an outstanding junior, don't worry, I will immediately ask Dai Liang, the head of the granary, to take the position of the head of the bank temporarily, and he will allocate the money you need to receive."

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng!"

Jia Qiang said thanks.

"You don't need to thank me, it should be!" Jia Zheng immediately sent a servant to call Dai Liang.

After a while, Dai Liang came, and he allocated 500 taels of silver to Jia Qiang according to the amount marked on the pair of cards.

Jia Qiang took the silver and went back to Rongqingtang, reported to Jiamu and Wang Xifeng, then made an appointment with Lin Daiyu for the next day's departure, and went back to Luxue'an to prepare her bags and money.

This time, as a personal maid, Qingwen also went to the south of the Yangtze River with Jia Qiang.

In the early morning of the next day, Jia Qiang and Qingwen met Lin Daiyu, Zijuan and Xueyan at the gate of the mansion. A group of five people took two carriages and rushed to the canal wharf in the southeast suburb of Shenjing City. The canal went all the way south to Yangzhou City.

Although it is the twelfth lunar month, but the early spring of this year, there are only some bits and pieces of ice in the canal, and the water surface is not frozen, so it does not affect the boat.

This kind of big yellow boat is eight feet four inches long from the bow to the stern, five feet four feet one inch from the bow to the bottom without board, one foot six inches longer without board, and one foot one foot five inches wide at the head. Five feet three inches deep, one foot four feet four inches in width, five feet three inches deep, one foot three inches wider, and six feet seven inches deep.

It is mainly used to load and transport palace supplies, but some royal relatives and dignitaries can also take it.

Just as Jia Qiang, Lin Daiyu and three maids boarded the deck, they immediately attracted many people's attention.

Because Jia Qiang is so handsome, like a banished fairy.

Moreover, Lin Daiyu, Qingwen, Zijuan and Xueyan are all beauties selected in a hundred.

Especially Lin Daiyu and Qingwen, like the peerless beauties who came out of the pictures of ladies, the degree of beauty can be called shocking and overwhelming.

Facing the eyes of many men, Lin Daiyu, Qingwen, Zijuan and Xueyan all covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs to hide their faces.

Fortunately, this is a big yellow boat, escorted by soldiers from the imperial court, no one dares to come over to moles a good woman.

In particular, Jia Qiang is tall and straight, with a long spear wrapped in coarse cloth on her back, an overlord bow slanted on her shoulders, and a pot of arrows hanging slanted on her waist. No one dared to come over and find themselves uncomfortable.

In fact, Qiu Chen had already led eighteen secret guards on board the ship first, dressed in plain clothes, lurking in the dark, secretly protecting Jia Qiang's safety.

This time he went south to Yangzhou, far away from Shenjing City. Qiu Chen didn't dare to trust him, so he brought some more people to deal with possible emergencies.

At the same time, another group of people also boarded the big yellow boat.

The leader is Huang Taiji.

He led four of his subordinates to personally go to Jiangnan to handle an extremely confidential event.

Coincidentally, Jia Qiang and others lived in the same row of cabins as Huang Taiji, with only three cabins in between.

Fortunately, the light in the corridor of the cabin was dim, and Huang Taiji couldn't see Jia Qiang's face clearly when he passed by.

Otherwise, he would definitely recognize Jia Qiang as the sharp archer he had lost, that is, the suspect who killed his ninth brother Babutai and second uncle Murhazi.

Jia Qiang and Qingwen lived in the same cabin, and Lin Daiyu, Zijuan and Xueyan lived next door to them.

The cabin is dark and dark, the environment is humid, and the space is cramped. It will be very uncomfortable to stay for a long time.

After everyone put their luggage into the cabin, Jia Qiang smiled at Lin Daiyu and said:
"Aunt Lin, the environment in this cabin is harsh and the air is not good. Let's go out on the deck to get some air, and come back when we want to go to bed at night."

"Good idea! I don't want to stay here forever." Lin Daiyu immediately agreed.

Jia Qiang led Lin Daiyu and three servant girls through the dark corridor to the deck.

On the other side, after packing their bags, Huang Taiji and four of his subordinates followed Jia Qiang and his group along the corridor and walked towards the deck.
