Chapter 149 Jia Jing: A man of great achievements

……

“Master Xiaorong, girl.”

“It’s already past midnight.”

After Zijuan came in, she gave a not-so-subtle reminder.

“Oh? Second update?”

Lin Daiyu looked at an exquisite sunset clock on the table and was a little surprised.

She felt as if only a short while had passed.

Jia Rong stood up and said, “I’ll write these for today, and I’ll write the rest when I get inspiration.”

Lin Daiyu looked at the densely packed pages of paper on the table and knew that Jia Rong was indeed tired, so she smiled and said, “Okay, Rong’er, go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow… I’ll come to see you.”

Jia Rong said, “I have to go to the boat over there tomorrow.”

Good brothers should eat meat and drink wine together.

Lin Daiyu was a little unhappy: “Are you going to stay with those stinky men again?”

Jia Rong said sternly: “They are not bad men, they are soldiers who defend our country. Our current wealth and future wealth are inseparable from them.”

Lin Daiyu obviously couldn’t understand.

However, seeing that Jia Rong was serious, he stopped talking back.

Although she still calls herself an aunt.

But subconsciously, I have already begun to obey.

“Then go ahead.”

“But remember to come and study in the evening.”

Jia Rong: “…”

Xiao Xiao had been waiting in the other room. When she saw Jia Rong leave, she smiled quietly and said, “Master finally decided to come out?”

Jia Rong reached out and rubbed Xiao Xiao’s head, ruffling her hair: “Don’t talk nonsense, we are reading seriously.”

Xiao Xiao held her hair bun with one hand and smiled, “Of course I know. Do you want to stay here tonight or go back to our ship to rest?”

Jia Rong thought for a moment and said, “Master Tai and Uncle Lin are both over there, so we can stay here so that we can take care of them if anything happens.”

Although they have strong military forces, the White Lotus Sect cannot be defeated by common sense.

What if he goes crazy?

You can’t help it.

Thinking about the White Lotus Sect, Jia Rong couldn’t help but think of the girl who was as skilled in swordsmanship as Xiao Xiao.

I deeply regret not being able to exchange ideas with you last time.

The two of them entered the attic at the back.

The bedding and other items inside are all ready-made and brand new.

Xiaoxiao tidied herself up simply and helped Jia Rong to wash his hair and feet.

Jia Rong leaned comfortably on the bed rail, squinting his eyes and enjoying Xiao Xiao’s service. After a while, Jia Rong suddenly asked, “How are our intelligence team doing? Any progress?”

“It will be hard to make progress in a short time.”

Xiaoxiao said this as she went to get the handkerchief.

Jia Rong nodded.

Indeed, building an intelligence system requires a large number of reliable personnel and cannot be accomplished overnight.

Xiao Xiao added: “However, there is a shortcut that may work.”

Jia Rong: “What?”

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, “The Jinyi Mansion has been abandoned for the past few years, and the Jinyi Guards in various places are basically in name only.”

“However, there are signs that the Jinyiwei have revived recently, and they are recruiting people in secret.”

Jia Rong was puzzled for a moment.

“How did you know?” Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, “I have a junior brother who is registered as a member of the Jinyi Army. A few years ago, the Jinyi Mansion fell into decline, and his family lost their real jobs, so they started other businesses. Recently, someone from the Jinyi Mansion came to him and recruited him into the Jinyi Army.”

“Is it reliable?”

“Very reliable, he is Grandpa’s favorite disciple.”

“it is good.”

Jia Rong smiled and said, “Wait until I go back to see him. If possible, I will support him secretly.”

“Let’s take the shortcut first, but we can’t waste our own path. We have to take it step by step slowly.”

Only by controlling the world situation can the young cabinet minister better serve the country and the people.

“Ah.”

Xiao Xiao nodded heavily.

I have already made up my mind that when I get home, I will ask my grandfather to come out and help me set up an intelligence system!
……

The night was calm.

Nothing happened.

In the early morning, the warm sunlight passed through the clouds and fell on the fields. The earth, lakes, canals, and boats were all dyed a fiery red color by the colorful clouds.

“Oh, my two lords, it’s already so late, let’s set off quickly!”

Dai Quan was very anxious.

After one night, several bubbles appeared on his face.

Jia Jing, Lin Ruhai had already worked out the strategy last night and was in no hurry. He was currently drinking tea leisurely in the attic in the sun.

“Eunuch Dai, you came at the right time. Let him try my newly acquired top-quality Longjing tea. It’s not to say it’s worth ten thousand gold, but at least it’s worth a hundred gold.” Jia Jing said with a smile on his face.

Dai Quan was in no mood to drink tea now. He said with a bitter face, “Lord Jia, I have been so worried that I haven’t eaten a single meal since yesterday, let alone tea. I just want to go to Jinling as soon as possible.”

It’s not that he hadn’t thought about leaving Jia Jinglin Ruhai behind and heading to Lianghuai by himself. It’s just that those soldiers didn’t obey his orders, so he didn’t have the courage to go to Lianghuai alone.

Jia Jing said slowly, “Eunuch Dai, please be patient. You should be calm when facing important events, especially at times like this. If you act blindly, you will only be led by others. That is absolutely unacceptable.”

“We have to think of ways and strategies to break the enemy’s plot and solve the problem fundamentally.”

Dai Quan covered his head and said, “I don’t have the brain to think about it, Lord Jia, I think we have to go to the place to see the situation before we can think of a strategy. If we just walk slowly on the road, I don’t know what we can come up with.”

“That’s different.” Jia Jing calmly analyzed: “If we go there and try to find a solution, the enemy will definitely be prepared, and there may be more powerful means waiting for us.”

“If we come up with a countermeasure on the way, and the enemy is not ready yet, we can strike with lightning speed as soon as we get there, and then we can accomplish great things!”

Lin Ruhai agreed, “You are right, the key to victory is to take the enemy by surprise. Don’t worry, Eunuch Dai.”

Dai Quan had no chance of winning the argument with the two of them, and he intended to write a secret letter to the retired emperor, but it was he who had formulated the plan in the first place to “delay time”, and he even complacently assured the retired emperor that his men would return with a full load.

This is really shooting oneself in the foot.

“That’s all!”

Dai Quan sat on the chair with a desperate look on his face: “Let’s discuss it slowly. Anyway, if something goes wrong, the three of us will be punished together. I am thick-skinned, so a few slaps won’t matter to me.”

At this time, Lin Ruhai suddenly said, “Eunuch Dai, have you ever thought about who did it in secret? The six major salt merchants in Jiangnan were all gone at once, and their property was also gone. It can be seen that the person who did it is very powerful.”

“Humph.”

Dai Quan sneered: “Who else could it be? It must be the work of those hypocrites in Jiangnan! They just can’t stand seeing the Grand Emperor have money and enjoy himself.”

“This whole world belongs to the king. The entire country belongs to the emperor. What’s wrong with the emperor enjoying some things? If they can’t get the money they deserve this time, I will bring people to rob their house! Let them see blood!” Dai Quan said fiercely.

……

The residence of Lord Wen.

Seven or eight young and beautiful dancers were dancing gracefully in the hall, twisting their slender waists. Their bare white feet stepped on the fiery red floral carpet, making them look even more tender and slender.

Wen Ting kept staring at the dozen or so pairs of small feet, taking a sip of wine from time to time, and just when he was itching to bear it…

The housekeeper came in.

He lowered his head and walked carefully to Wen Ting’s side, without looking away, and whispered: “Master, the official Liu from the Ministry of Personnel is here, waiting in the outer hall.”
