Chapter 694

Jia She rubbed his eyes, adapting to the too bright light.

The halls and houses of the county government office still look familiar.It's just that the high seats and guards of honor that were originally placed in the main hall were removed, and replaced by chairs and round tables facing each other.Because of the bright lights, the hall looked beaming.

If it wasn't for the officials in the county yamen, such as the director, inspector, and edict, all of whom were sitting with pale faces, Jia She would almost have thought that he was entertaining distinguished guests in the yamen, and the guests and hosts were having a good time talking and laughing, all drunk and full of delicacies. happy.

Speaking of distinguished guests, there are indeed three of them.

It's just that this honored guest didn't regard himself as a guest, but turned to be a guest, and sat in the direction of the main seat facing the hall.

The one on the left is Jia Zhou Keshan, a smuggler Jia She is familiar with.

On the right is a young general in a brocade robe. He does not sit when he has a seat. He has one foot on the chair and a wine jug in one hand.

Between the two was a young nobleman wearing a dark blue round collar robe, wearing deerskin soft boots, and a white jade Hai Dongqing swan-patterned belt around his waist.

Seeing Jia She at this time, several local officials turned towards the young nobleman, showing smiles uglier than crying: "This...cough cough...this master, the county lord Jia has come, we can Are you leaving?"

The young man smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is still something you can use."

Zhou Keshan got up and greeted: "Master Jia, please come and take a seat, there is a seat reserved for you here."

The servants beside Jia She were loyal, they stepped forward almost at the same time, covering Jia She behind.Jue Cong whispered from the leader: "Master Xian, we haven't dismounted yet, we just need to rush in at the second gate, turn left and exit the right corner gate..."

"No need."

Jia She shook his head.

Baoying County is not a particularly strong town, but after all, it guards the canal and is a series of military and transportation hubs between Chuzhou and Yangzhou.Jia She has been the county magistrate here for more than a year, just out of consideration for his own safety, and in order to keep the golden and yellow money in his inner courtyard, he has never neglected the city defense.

At least the people who patrol and picket in the morning and evening have clear responsibilities and timely payment.The two leaders in the city took turns leading people to the city, and they would not slack off.

As a result, in such a county town, all the officials who could talk were sitting in the hall at the moment, and each of them was as honest as if their buttocks were stuck to the chairs, and the outside people didn't feel the wind at all.

This skill is simply miraculous, not only does the person in charge need to be careful and bold, but also all the subordinates are good hands.It is impossible for any one person to be so comprehensive and secretive if there is a slight omission in his actions.

Taking a closer look at the hall, there were actually a few fewer officials who could talk. However, Jia She could smell a faint smell of blood in the air.He decided not to dwell on this issue, and deal with the immediate situation first.

Such a group of people came to Baoying County and took control of the county government.At this time, how many fierce fighters have been deployed in the county government, who knows?

Jia She didn't want to take risks, and he didn't want to die, so if he had to sit in the hall, he should do so.

It's better than saying nothing and serving with a knife and an axe.

He swung his stirrup off his horse and walked towards the main hall. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help shouting to Zhou Keshan: "I knew you were not just a merchant under the Ding Navy. I'm afraid you are in the Marshal's Mansion in the north. Not low!"

Zhou Keshan laughed.

Halfway through the journey, Jia She felt that he wanted to understand something more, so he continued: "The Shandong troops in Dinghai did not go south on a large scale at all. Your side probably only mobilized one or two thousand cavalry, carrying many important banners, and made It looks like they are going south to fight, and the soldiers are splitting up and running back and forth, in order to lure the spies sent by the Song Dynasty to Huaibei, and let those spies run to scare us, right?"

It was still Zhou Keshan who replied with a smile: "During the past few months, the chief officials of the Song Dynasty in Chuzhou have changed, and there are quite a few people who have crossed the Huaihe River one after another. Among them, there are reformers recruited by Yingzhi Prefecture in Chuzhou, and bandits split from the rest of the Red Coat Army. The county official Jia must be very clear about this."

How could it be unclear?

How many of them were arranged by Jia She, who took advantage of the fact that the grain smuggling ship was heading north for a while!
If he didn't recognize those few people, he wouldn't immediately believe it in Chuzhou City today!
Jia She sighed.

Zhou Keshan continued: "Fortunately, on our side, General Gao Xingao, who is in charge of stationing in Haizhou and maintaining the stability of the place, is from the village head of Jiuxian Mountain. On the border of Shandong and Huaibei, General Gao is like this. The ancestor of Jianghu tricks! General Gao thought of a way, and General Yan Ning, who was benefiting from the capital, led a thousand cavalry back and forth for a while, and sure enough, he deceived all the people who could be deceived, and drove them to report to the south Woolen cloth."

He probably felt that Zhou Keshan's praise was a bit too much, the brocade general who was drinking by himself raised the jug to Zhou Keshan: "I haven't been able to deceive everyone."

"Oh? Could it be that someone else got rid of General Gao's hand?"

"Sixteen people have been deceived, and nine of them saw the flaw, but we caught up and killed them all. Once the other five were discovered, they immediately turned to the light and surrendered our navy... That's why I came late some."

"I see!"

Zhou Keshan held a small wine cup and touched Gao Xin.

Jia She stepped over the threshold, walked past the earthy-faced officials of the county government, and sat down under the three distinguished guests.

I looked at the food and wine on the table, my good guy, it was made by the cook that I, Mr. Jia, likes.Just the crab-stuffed orange, Taishou duck and Shanhaidou have used a lot of precious ingredients from the original place, and I am usually reluctant to eat them!
The anger in Jia She's heart suddenly became uncontrollable.

"I don't understand. Why did you spend so much effort? Now that your territory is divided into two parts, the Kaifeng government in Nanjing is going to take both Hedong and Guanzhong into their pockets, so King Sui will proclaim himself king and emperor from now on. It’s several times stronger than Western Wei and Northern Zhou, so why do you bother to provoke me, Great Song? Do you really think that there is no one in Great Song?”

Having said this, Jia She's tone suddenly rose.

And the luxuriously dressed young official said: "Jia She, this is a game specially set up for you."

"what?"

"I am Li Yun, the left and right secretary of the Marshal's Mansion of the capital of the Dajin Kingdom. I have come south under the order of my marshal to report my condolences to the Great Song Dynasty. But before going south, my marshal ordered me to capture you and send you to Zhongdu. Ask."

Li Yun looked at Jia She, with a half-smile: "I heard that you, the county magistrate, are running around all day long to make money, and no one can keep up with you when you are busy. So we asked our colleagues in the Shandong army to make a scene. Immediately rushed to Baoying County and waited for the rabbit. It seems that Mr. Zhou knows you very well, and you came to your door in less than two hours."

Why is this necessary?

Why did you come here just for me?
I'm just a county magistrate, how can He De be targeted by the Marshal Capital of the Dajin Kingdom?

Could it be that when I shipped food last time, the two companies took too much kickbacks, and finally got out?
Jia She's mind turned violently again, his expression unavoidably dull.

Seeing him like this, Li Yun couldn't help shaking his head:

"You guys, spent [-] yuan of money three months ago to buy Lin Zhen, the famous leader of our naval fleet. Then you promised to obtain the household registration of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty for the people on the sea, and arrange for their families Settled in Mingzhou, Fuzhou and other places, and changed his appearance from now on to become a scholar who could study and become an official in the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. On this condition, Lin Zhen and others agreed with the governor of Chuzhou in the Song Dynasty and Jingdong Jinglue envoy Ying Chunzhi hooked up. They promised Ying Chunzhi that they would cooperate with King Sui Wanyan Shouxu's people in Zhongdu to accomplish a big event...is that so?"

"No! I have never done it! This is slander!" Jia She shouted immediately.

He leaned forward, and was about to continue making excuses, when Li Yun stood up suddenly, a cold light flashed in his hands.

A dagger pierced Jia She's palm that was holding the table, and the blood burst from under the blade, piercing through.
