Queen's Development

Chapter 138
Before the rebellion started, Han Qing ordered people to lock up the grain warehouse, and took the people from the grain warehouse and his entourage out of the city, and lived in Bieye not far from the Yunzhou regiment training camp.

After the rebellion started, Han Qing has been sitting in the study, receiving letters from various places, and judging the development of the war in the city.

On the third day, when Han Qing heard that the Guizhen believers who came to Yunzhou from all over the country to support them surrounded the house next to the regiment training camp and were attacking the Lin house, Han Qing couldn't sit still—now that Lin Jia is in To put down the rebellion in the city, the person staying in the house must be Yuzhi!

Thinking of the brutal murder of Guizhen believers, Han Qing got up immediately and ordered Liangchen: "Let our people gather in the courtyard and prepare the poisonous arrows brought from the capital!"

In order to deal with Lin Jia, when he came to Yunzhou this time, he specially prepared poisonous arrows coated with the tip of the arrow with a highly poisonous poison from Nanyang. This kind of poison, as long as it touches the human body, it will kill the poison immediately.

Liangchen answered "yes" and retreated.

At this time, the situation in Lin Zhai became more and more serious.

Yu Zhi was fully dressed and stood under the corridor in the Ming room, while Li Rui and Ah Qing stood in the courtyard with fifty fully armed soldiers.

Thick smoke billowed outside, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Li Rui's face was calm: "Auntie, all the hot oil in the house has been poured!"

Yuzhi looked calm, and asked Li Rui, "About how many people are there outside?"

Li Rui took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Aunt Qi, we killed about 200 people, and now there are about 1000 more people, all holding machetes. Although they don't have bows and arrows, they look like mad dogs. Hit the door!"

He looked at Yuzhi with deep eyes, and clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves: "The lime water is also finished!"

No matter what, he must protect Aunt Yu!
Yuzhi was silent for a moment, and said: "Alan has already gone out to look for reinforcements. There are currently [-] soldiers in our house, and we will continue to guard the gate in shifts. We must persist until the reinforcements arrive!"

Li Rui answered "Yes", and seeing that it was almost time to change shifts at the gate, he rushed over with the soldiers who were supposed to change shifts.

In the history books, Yuzhi once saw the rebellion of the Guizhen Sect in the previous dynasty. The Guizhen Sect members were extremely tyrannical to the Han people. Once they captured the city, they began to massacre the city. The men were beheaded, and the women were gang-raped and killed.

They have been resisting for a whole day and a half, and the thugs are still gathering, and they may not last long.

The sweat on her back was already drenched, and the wetness stuck to her back, which was cold and sticky, making her very uncomfortable.

Yuzhi looked at Han Lin, Jin'er and Jin'erniang who were following her closely, and said softly: "If Guizhen Sect gets involved, our end will be miserable..."

Her eyes were moist, and she smiled and said, "I think it's better for us to die by ourselves than to be trampled to death by others. It's clean!"

Han Lin, Jin'er and Jin'er's mother's eyes were all moist.

Han Lin walked to Yuzhi's side, snuggled up to Yuzhi, smiled with tears in his eyes, and said, "I'll follow Auntie."

Jin'erniang had experienced a cult rebellion when she was in Zhao County, and she knew very well how terrible cults are, and Guizhen Sect is more terrifying than ordinary cults. She put her arms around Jiner and looked at Yuzhi with firm eyes: "Auntie, Jiner and I Follow you too!"

There were tears in Yuzhi's eyes, but she smiled brightly: "Reinforcements may arrive in time, before the thugs attack, we must live and die with them!"

She took out the sugar-coated poison that Mr. Liu had prepared in advance from her sleeve, distributed it to Han Lin, Jin'er, and Jin'erniang one by one, and said, "Let's go to the gate!"

As soon as Yuzhi arrived at the gate, Li Rui whispered: "Auntie, the hot oil and lime water are all used up, and there are more and more thugs outside... If I really can't take it anymore, I'll leave behind your back! "

Yuzhi looked up at Li Rui, and smiled slightly: "I can't watch everyone die while I escape by myself!"

She put her hand on Li Rui's shoulder, her eyes shining like stars in the dark night: "We all live and die together!"

Yuzhi turned around and told Jin'er Hanlin: "Hurry up and boil hot water and bring it here, we will pour boiling water on these thugs!"

Jin'er and Han Lin agreed and left in a hurry.

Seeing this, Li Rui became more determined.

He boarded the wall and commanded the soldiers to shoot arrows outside, but more and more thugs gathered outside. These thugs were like zombies, not afraid of death at all, and kept charging towards the gate.

The gate would be breached at any time, Yu Zhi clenched the poison in her hand, ready to take it at any time.

At this moment, screams came from outside.

Yuzhi froze for a moment, then quickly looked at Li Rui.

Li Rui shot an arrow from his bow, and a thug fell to the ground.

Only then did he turn around and say, "Auntie, there is a group of men in black riding over on horseback. The arrows they shoot seem to be poisonous, and the thugs will fall down immediately!"

Yuzhi's heart was beating violently, and she immediately climbed up the ladder to look over, and she recognized at a glance that it was Han Qing who came with the man in black!

She looked at Li Rui and said, "It's Han Qing!"

With the rain of arrows from the archers led by Han Qing, more and more thugs fell down, but the rest became even crazier and began to hit the gate with their bodies.

Yuzhi took the bucket of hot water from Han Lin and Jin Erniang, and poured it over.

Those thugs who knocked on the door were splashed with scalding water and immediately screamed.

Yuzhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned her head and said, "It's useful, let me have a few more buckets!"

Jin'er, who was in charge of boiling the water, happily agreed, and continued to boil the water on the makeshift pot that had just boiled the oil.

Yuzhi took another bucket of boiling water and poured it down vigorously. Amidst the screams, she saw a group of troops in bright silver armor charging forward on horseback not far away—it was Lin Jia's army!
Lin Jia came back to save her!
Yu Zhi, who had always been strong, burst into tears, and shouted loudly with all her strength: "My lord has brought the army back!"

The crowd immediately cheered.

Han Ming had led his men to the outside of the gate and began to fight these thugs.

Yuzhi looked at Li Rui: "Li Rui—"

Li Rui understood, jumped off the ladder, rushed out with the soldiers, and cooperated with Han Mingli.

Half an hour later, Yuzhi and Ah Qing who stayed inside opened the door together.

Lin Jia, covered in blood, stood outside, looking at her with wet phoenix eyes. His handsome face was splattered with many blood spots, which had already dried up.

Yuzhi only felt that fireworks were blooming in the night sky, and beautiful singing sounded around her. She ran out and threw herself into Lin Jia's arms.

Lin Jia was shaken by her bump, and hugged Yuzhi tightly.

After a while, Yu Zhi remembered that she was under the watchful eyes of everyone, and hurriedly pushed Lin Jia away, laughing embarrassedly.

Everyone also laughed.

Amid hearty laughter, Yu Zhi looked over, but found corpses all over the ground. These corpses had bright white turbans on their heads, and the white turbans were soaked in a pool of blood, which still made people feel horrible.

Yuzhi shivered and felt chills all over her body: what kind of cult can make people so cruel, so unafraid of death, and so ignorant, only like the legendary zombies, coming wave after wave? die……

Her face was pale and she looked around, meeting Han Qing's eyes.

Han Qing noticed the fear in Yuzhi's eyes, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Master Lin, let's go in and talk!"

There are too many corpses here, I am afraid that Yuzhi will be frightened.

Seeing that Lan Zhen had already led the soldiers to clean up the corpses, Lin Jia nodded, reached out to hold Yu Zhi's hand, and then looked at Han Qing: "Master Han, please!"

Han Qing's eyes hovered over Lin Jia's and Yu Zhi's tightly clasped hands for a moment, feeling sour in his heart, but he had no choice but to restrain himself, and followed Lin Jia in with a smile.

Lin Jia has always been indifferent to things and people. For Han Qing who saved Yuzhi, Lin Jia was very grateful. As soon as she entered the Ming Dynasty, she took Yuzhi and saluted Han Qing: "Thank you, Mr. Han, for saving my wife. Lin is grateful." Endless!"

Han Qing smiled brightly: "It is human nature to act bravely when seeing righteousness, so you don't need to be grateful!"

He glanced at Yuzhi, and then said: "However, my lord made a slip of the tongue!"

When Yuzhi heard this, her heart moved, and she slowly walked back behind the screen.

Lin Jia looked up at Han Qing, narrowing her phoenix eyes slightly.

Han Qing smiled slightly: "Aunt Yu is my lord's concubine. I can understand how much my lord loves Han, but my wife refers to my wife. My lord can't say that when I come to the court, lest I be criticized by others!"

Only then did Lin Jia realize his slip of the tongue, and he said calmly, "Thank you, Mr. Han, for your advice!"

He didn't want to talk more about it, so he quickly changed the subject, and looked at Han Qing with a smile: "Why did Mr. Han appear in Yunzhou?"

Han Qing had been prepared for a long time, so he made up a mess.

As soon as Lin Jia heard it, she knew that Han Qing's so-called reasons were all made up. Han Qing must have a special purpose when he came to Yunzhou at this time, but he didn't expose it.

Han Qing sat for a while and then left.

Yuzhi then came out from behind the screen, pulled Lin Jia and said, "Ajia, go to the inner house to change clothes!"

Only then did Lin Jia realize the dried blood on her body, she suddenly felt sick, and immediately followed Yuzhi back to the inner house.

Lin Jia cleaned up in the bathroom, and then she came out of the bathroom wearing the white silk jacket prepared by Yuzhi.

Yuzhi has been waiting for him in the bedroom.

As soon as Lin Jia came out, she threw herself into Lin Jia's arms and cried silently.

Her tears soaked Lin Jia's thin coat.

Lin Jia felt sore, he hugged Yuzhi tightly, and murmured: "It's my fault. I thought it would be enough to surround these thugs in Yunzhou City and wipe them out, but I forgot that there are Guizhen believers who will come from here." Gathering around..."

He still didn't think about the problem thoroughly enough.

Thinking that because of his own negligence, Yuzhi was almost murdered, Lin Jia's heart twitched, he picked up Yuzhi, lay down on the bed, and hugged Yuzhi in his arms.

Yu Zhi struggled out of Lin Jia's arms, found that Lin Jia had tears in her eyes, couldn't help feeling distressed, took a deep breath and smiled and said, "It's fortunate that you left four hundred soldiers to guard the house for Li Rui!"

Lin Jia didn't speak for a long time, and her heart was full of self-blame.

He should have left Lan Zhen, the bravest and most skilled fighter, to protect Yuzhi, but in order to wipe out the thugs, he transferred all the troops to Yunzhou City...

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Yuzhi took out the poison wrapped in oil paper from her sleeve pocket and showed it to Lin Jia: "Look, this is the poison I asked Mr. Liu to bring!"

Lin Jia grabbed the poison, grabbed it in her hand, threw it far away, and buried her face in Yuzhi's arms.

After a while, Yuzhi felt something was wrong, Lin Jia seemed to be kissing her through her clothes...

She smiled and wanted to push Lin Jia away, only to find that Lin Jia had fallen asleep lying on top of her.

Only then did Yuzhi remember that Lin Jia hadn't slept in three days...

She pulled up the thin quilt to cover Lin Jia's body, then leaned over and kissed Lin Jia's warm and soft lips, and soon fell asleep while snuggling up against Lin Jia.

She also hasn't slept for a long time.

It was not until ten days later that Lin Jia received the statistics from Yang Xin and Hu Yingzhi.

This Guizhen rebellion, because Lin Jia’s policy was “only the dead Guizhen believers will not kill people”, so the soldiers of the whole army went all out to fight against the Guizhen believers, more than 22 Guizhen believers died, and the Han people were killed More than [-] people, more than [-] soldiers were killed.

It was already the end of June until Yunzhou completely restored the old view.

Lin Jia has been stationed in Yunzhou to quell the rebellion of Guizhen Sect remnants at any time.

Han Qing was reading a letter in Bieye's study, when Mei Mei came in to report: "My lord, Wu Naihe asks to see you!"

Wu Naihe is the shopkeeper of He Fuxiang's grain store and Han Qing's confidant.

Han Qing said without raising his head, "Let him in!"

As soon as Wu Naihe entered the study, he bowed to Han Qing, got up and smiled all over his face: "My lord, now Yunzhou City is our business, and now the price of food is getting higher and higher, and the food from other places can't be shipped for a while, my lord It’s about to make a fortune!”

Han Qing said with a smile: "Then I will wait!"

He will go back to the capital when he receives the bank note.

This day, Lin Jia was studying in the study with Yuzhi, and Ah Qing reported outside: "My lord, Mr. Cai Zhicheng, the magistrate of Yunzhou, please see me!"

Yuzhi smiled and picked up the book she was reading, and said, "I'll go behind the screen and wait!"

After a while, Cai Zhicheng, the prefect of Yunzhou, came in.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Cai Zhicheng began to complain: "My lord, the food stores in Yunzhou are all sold out now, only He Fuxiang's food store still has food. The people are short of food, and the price of food has skyrocketed, ten times what it was before the riots. All the grain in the state grain depot has been thrown out, but it’s a drop in the bucket, there’s no emergency!”

After Cai Zhicheng left, Yuzhi came out from behind the screen: "Ajia, who is the owner of He Fuxiang's grain store? Why are there no other grain stores in the city, and only He Fuxiang is still selling food? You can start with He Fuxiang's boss! "

Lin Jia thought for a while, and said, "He Fuxiang's boss behind the scenes is Han Qing."

Hearing this, Yuzhi raised her eyes to look at Lin Jia: "Could it be that Han Qing wants to drive up the price of grain to make a fortune?"

Lin Jia smiled slightly, staring at Yuzhi tenderly: "Is there anything you can do?"

In fact, he already had an idea in mind, but he just wanted to see what Yuzhi thought.

A thoughtful look appeared on Yuzhi's face: "If a large amount of grain can be mobilized in a short period of time, and then credited to various inns in Yunzhou City on credit, then the price of grain will plummet overnight, and those who hoard and drive up grain prices You will lose everything!"

Lin Jia laughed, her long phoenix eyes were full of cunning: "Before the war, I mobilized a large amount of military rations and stored them in the barracks. It seems that the hoarder is really going to lose everything!"

Yuzhi couldn't help laughing, and said, "Han Qing is going to be in trouble!"

She was laughing, and suddenly covered her mouth: "He is my savior, I can't gloat like this!"

Lin Jia stared at Yuzhi and laughed.

The food he hoarded was military food, and he was supposed to sell it and wait for the autumn food to be replaced with new food, so the price was very low, which would definitely make Han Qing vomit blood.

In the early morning of the next day, grain trucks from various grain stores lined up to the military camp outside the city, and borrowed a large amount of military grain to transport to the city.

Within three days, food prices in the city plummeted to levels close to those before the riots.

When Han Qing received the news, he immediately understood that he had fallen for Lin Jia's trick.

He told Wu Naihe: "Sell them too!"

At least part of the 50 taels of silver he invested should be recovered.

When He Fuxiang started to sell grain, various grain warehouses in the city received the news and immediately lowered the price even lower, so He Fuxiang had no choice but to continue to lower the price.

In the end, Han Qing realized that he had lost too much, so he stopped selling grain immediately.

Wu Naihe's face turned pale: "My lord, we have lost a total of 30 taels of silver!"

Han Qing's favorite thing in his life is silver. At this time, his heart was pierced, and he said: "This time I made a mistake. I didn't expect Lin Jia to hoard so much military rations that should be replaced..."

His expression remained the same: "This time, I'm going to give up. Go down and manage Yunzhou's business well!"

Seeing that Han Qing didn't blame him, Wu Naihe breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.

Han Qing left Yunzhou the next day and went back to the capital.

His biggest backer is Empress Zhu, and he dare not leave Empress Zhu for too long, in case Empress Zhu is empathetic.

When she woke up this morning, Yuzhi found that the little red spots on her legs that had appeared in the past few days had grown older and bigger, and her legs were extremely itchy, so she hurriedly asked Lin Jia to take a look.

Lin Jia went over to have a look, and ordered Mr. Liu to come over.

Mr. Liu looked at it and said: "The climate in Yunzhou is too humid, and Aunt Yu is not suitable for the climate in Yunzhou. When I return to the capital, it will be fine!"

Lin Jia frowned and said, "Can it be cured?"

Mr. Liu sighed and said: "Even if the ointment is prepared, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it will recur sooner or later!"

After Mr. Liu left, Lin Jia took the ointment and applied it to Yuzhi.

Yuzhi said softly: "Ajia, I miss the capital!"

She actually likes Yunzhou very much, but Yuzhi knows very well that Emperor Yongtai has no children, and the establishment of the heir to the throne has been put on the agenda, and Lin Lun has been guarding the capital all the time, so he must be close to the water first, and Lin Jia stands outside. No amount of credit is in vain.

Seeing that Lin Jia was silent and still applying medicine to her, Yuzhi said, "Ajia, Lin Lun is in the capital!"

Lin Jia looked up at Yu Zhi: "Don't worry!"

He had already ordered someone to write a letter to his teacher Han Li, and also handed over the secret booklet to Emperor Yongtai, so he should be returning to the capital soon.

Only then did Yuzhi breathe a sigh of relief, she snuggled into Lin Jia's arms, and smiled softly.

After helping Yuzhi apply the medicine, Lin Jia went to the military camp.

He sat behind the desk, looked at the generals sitting on the armchairs on the left and right with a smile, and was full of pride in his heart.

Most of his generals are young generals.

Lin Jia has always insisted on promoting young generals, because he knows that there is a gap in the generals of the Da Zhou army, and there are not enough generals in the army who can fight. If an enemy country invades, it will be very scary.

After the meeting, the generals surrounded Lin Jia and walked to the Lin house next to the barracks.

It was almost evening at this time, and the evening wind was blowing. Lin Jia was wearing a thin jade white summer robe with a jasper belt around her waist.

Lan Zhen and others walked behind, looking at Lin Jia's back, their hearts were full of admiration.

Mr. Lin looked frail, but he had an aura of calmness and prestige that made people surrender involuntarily. That handsome and frail body contained an extremely powerful soul.

Therefore, for this young marshal, none of these generals dared to violate his orders.

The generals surrounded Lin Jia and entered the guest room of the outer study. Seeing that the banquet in the guest room had been set, they washed their hands and sat down one after another.

Everyone had just had a few drinks and were chatting and laughing when they heard the voice of a servant outside: "My lord, His Majesty's messenger has arrived!"

Lin Jia's heart was pounding when she heard this, and she led all the generals to greet her immediately.

It was Eunuch Ding who came to deliver the decree.

When Eunuch Ding saw Lin Jia coming out, he immediately smiled and unfolded the imperial decree.

Yu Zhi was in the inner study room, when Han Lin hurried in, his face was flushed, his eyes sparkled: "Auntie, just now Ah Lan came over and said—"

"What did you say?" Seeing her panting, Yu Zhi asked with a smile.

Han Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Congratulations, Auntie, Ah Lan said that Eunuch Ding came to promulgate the imperial edict, my lord... He was promoted to the defense of the capital, and he will be transferred back to the capital!"

Yuzhi was stunned when she heard the words, she was so happy that she couldn't speak.

One and a half months later, Lin Jia, the new Gyeonggi defense officer, returned to the capital by water.

The old concubine who lived in Lin's Mansion in Yanqingfang couldn't help laughing when she heard the news of Lin Jia's return, and told the butler Li Fu: "Take someone to the canal wharf to meet my grandson!"

After Li Fu went out, Princess Li looked at the old concubine: "Auntie, Lin Jia has been promoted again!"

The old concubine smiled and said, "Didn't we bring Lin Yi along?"

Princess Li stopped talking.

If her son Lin Yi becomes the crown prince, then what is Lin Jia like!
