Red House Shoufu

Chapter 205 Father, Son and Brothers Gather Again

A few days have passed since he received the letter from the capital, and Lin Shu received the latest report from the residence.

The biggest news in the mansion newspaper is that the county king with a foreign surname that has been passed down for nearly a hundred years, the king of Beijing Jing, has been dissolved in water!The imperial court issued a clear decree to cut off all the titles of the Prince's Mansion in Beijing County, and ordered the whole world to punish the rebellious officials and thieves.

"King Zhongshun led [-] troops to fight against the rebels?"

Lin Shu handed the mansion report to Xu Jingsi: "If His Royal Highness King Zhongshun leads the troops to pursue, then they are likely to pass through the Daming Mansion. General Xu, let the brothers pay more attention to the inspections recently, we have to arrange the rewards in advance. "

"Your Excellency, you mean to borrow troops from the lord?" Xu Jingsi browsed the mansion newspaper hastily, then raised his head and asked.

"Well, I have an idea and want to give it a try. But I'm not sure yet, I have to look at the situation."

Lin Shu put his eyes on the stack of papers on the table. These are the news collected from various places in the past few days, which made him constantly revise and perfect his plan.

Kaifeng was besieged for a long time, and several nearby prefectures and counties were also breached by the White Lotus Sect bandits.If it weren't for the dispatch order issued by the British public Zhang Yue in advance, the Henan Zhufu Guards rushing to help would have been too late to rescue.

The White Lotus Sect's rebellious army has reached 130,000, and the number is still expanding.On the contrary, there are only [-] guards in Kaifeng City.The reinforcements who came from all over were blocked outside the city of Kaifeng, and could only be stationed in the surrounding counties, waiting for an opportunity.

Tan Mingming has sent back a letter saying that he is stationed in Xiangfu County with two thousand cavalry, looking for opportunities to break through the encirclement and join the defenders in the city.

The two exchanged opinions from time to time through the map and the information that came from them.Although the White Lotus Sect's rebellious army is powerful, its real combat effectiveness is not very high.

He was still a farmer before, and he only picked up a sword to make up for it. If it weren't for the huge disparity in military strength, and the officers and soldiers had to take care of the safety of the people in the city, they would have killed them long ago.

After lunch, Lin Shu inspected the city defense as usual, and not long after he returned to the mansion, he saw a school lieutenant come in: "The last general paid a visit to the imperial envoy, and some unidentified people came from the south gate, and one of them said he was The son of Deputy Envoy Jia. There is another person who says he is the son of General Shenwu."

……

When Lin Shu saw Jia Baoyu again, he almost didn't recognize him.I'm almost skinny and out of shape, not to mention the moon of Mid-Autumn Festival, it's just a crescent moon.

"Brother Baoyu, you have suffered!"

It took Lin Shu a long time to recover from his astonishment, and hurriedly greeted several people to get on the carriage and prepare to go back to the government office.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Jia Baoyu burst into tears, took Lin Shu's hands and muttered: "Cousin Lin, I almost died on the smelly boat... woo woo woo..."

"Okay, okay, don't cry now. The second uncle is going crazy these days, looking for things to do for himself day and night. Let's go back to the government office quickly. I guess the second uncle is still handling official business..."

Lin Shu comforted Jia Baoyu, and at the same time gave apologetic looks to the three people beside him.After Jia Baoyu and the four got into the carriage respectively, Lin Shu asked about Feng Ziying who was riding with him.

"Where did you escape from? The capital sent a large number of people to all directions, searched all over the capital, and there was not even a trace of you."

Feng Ziying replied bitterly: "I'm ashamed to say that when I woke up, I was already in the cabin. According to Brother Liu, he had just returned from Linqing that day. After a few glances..."

It turned out that Liu Xianglian had just returned to Tongzhou that day, and before she landed, she saw someone among the guards of the Zhen family's fleet playing with a delicate dagger.

He was good friends with Feng Ziying and Jia Baoyu, and they often hang out together, so he recognized it as Feng Ziying's carry-on at a glance.

Driven by curiosity, he carefully observed the situation of Zhen's fleet.Not to mention, this look really made him discover many strange things.

The Zhen family wanted to be extravagant, but this time they returned to the south, but it seemed extremely hasty.The leader is said to be the son of the Zhen family, but he looks very much like the king of Beijing County, Shui Rong.

Liu Xianglian was born in the Liu family of Duke Li's mansion. Although she is only a commoner branch, she has seen water soluble.In addition, he has a very good memory, even if he only met briefly, he can still tell that this person who has specially put on makeup is almost water-soluble.

It's just a trick of the people in the rivers and lakes. Liu Xianglian has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen many of them.

Wang Wuzhao is not allowed to leave Beijing, what is Shui Rong trying to do by pretending to be the Zhen family?The dagger in that person's hand must belong to his brother Feng Ziying, so why did it appear here?
Liu Xianglian was a brave man, and within a short while she heard Jia Baoyu's cries and Feng Ziying's angry curses in a locked cabin.

It's a pity that the sound attracted the patrolling guards. He only marked the side of the cabin vaguely and flew away.

Liu Xianglian, who was going back to Beijing, returned to her boat, and Ni Er, who was on board with her, hung far behind the Zhen family's fleet. While inquiring about news about the capital, she waited for an opportunity to rescue Feng and Jia.

When the news that the water melting was reversed reached Liu Xianglian's ears, he became even more sure that this noble son of the Zhen family was definitely the water melting.Along the way, with the help of water ghosts sent by her friends, Liu Xianglian broke the water-soluble passenger ship from time to time.

Finally, he found an opportunity at Yifeng Wharf and rescued Feng Ziying and Jia Baoyu.

"Courageous and resourceful, affectionate and righteous! This Liu Erlang is really a good man who is eager for justice!"

Lin Shu sighed in admiration and said to Feng Ziying: "Brother Feng, when you arrive at the government office later, you should send a letter to your home first. As for the matter of returning to Beijing, I will discuss it with my second uncle and others. After all, the journey is far away. It hasn't been very stable recently."

Feng Ziying nodded, and he replied to Lin Shu: "My lord arranges it!"

……

Father and son reunited, and after such a catastrophe, they naturally cried with each other in their arms.Jia Zheng couldn't put on the airs of a strict father at all, he touched his son up and down, for fear that he would lose a piece of meat.

Although Jia Baoyu was extremely afraid of his father, when he saw Jia Zheng's gray hair and thin face, he knew that what Lin Shu just said at the city gate was true.

Because his father was worried about him, he even wanted to use official duties to numb himself.He still remembers that when his father left Beijing, his hair was still black...

Jia Lian, who heard the news, was supported by Ping'er. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the father and son crying.

Turning around, he saw Lin Shu, Liu Xianglian, Feng Ziying and Ni Er next to him, and greeted them happily.

"Second Brother Lian, your ears?"

"Hello, Second Master Lian!"

"I've seen Second Master Lian..."

Although the three people have different identities, they all know Jia Lian.Especially Feng Ziying, who often went to Rongguo Mansion and was very familiar with Jia Lian.

When he saw that the handsome and famous Second Master Lian not only lost half of his ear, but also had a big scar on his face, he was very surprised.

"Haha, fighting for life, only a piece of meat was bitten off by bandits."

Jia Lian didn't care, instead he thanked Liu Xianglian and Ni Er: "Baoyu's safe return is due to the credit of the two brothers. From today onwards, you are the great benefactors of the Rongguo Mansion, and my good brothers, Jia Lian... "

　Let’s stop here today, let’s continue tomorrow.

　　sleepy, good night!
