The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Chapter 304

Thinking of the advice his wife Wang Xifeng gave him when he left Beijing,

Jia Lian couldn't help but start to stretch out his mind, thinking about how this business would go...

at this time,

A servant stood at the door of the private room and said to Jia Lian,

"Master Lian, we have already entered Yangzhou. I asked the captain, and he said it will take at most two hours to reach the Yangzhou dock."

Jia Lian came back to his senses after hearing this, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Very good! This way, if nothing unexpected happens, I can settle down in Yangzhou City before dark."

As he said this, he looked at the servant with a smile and said,

"Zhao'er, when we get there, do you know what to do?"

The servant named Zhao'er bowed and smiled flatteringly,

"Don't worry, Master Lian, I won't bother you!"

Jia Lian nodded with satisfaction.

"very good!"

Then he instructed Zhao'er,

"Tell the rough soldiers below to be careful. It's inevitable that we'll run into a few blind thieves who might interrupt my journey to Yangzhou."

"Yes, Mr. Lian."

Zhao'er took the order and turned to leave.

Jia Lian thought that after two hours,

Then you can go to the prosperous Yangzhou and enjoy the warmth and beauty.

I feel particularly cheerful.

Thinking about the journey, I have lived like a monk every day.

I couldn't help but shook my head, feeling secretly dissatisfied.

What kind of job is this?!

It would be fine if the tigress at home didn't allow me to bring my maid with me,

He was even not allowed to bring along the two servants he was closest to!

Even the travel expenses for this trip were calculated exactly.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian became even more dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng!

Fortunately, he brought with him all the silver he had saved over the years.

snort!

Arrived in Yangzhou,

He must relax properly!

He finally got a job from the old lady this time.

The old lady's granddaughter came to Yangzhou and was taken back to the capital.

If this task is completed well, I will definitely be reused when I return.

But this group of bandits still sounds quite evil.

Jia Lian thought about it,

It’s better to go and come back quickly.

When they arrived in Yangzhou, they could only enjoy the skinny horse for three to five days at most, and then they immediately picked up their people and returned home.

But somehow, the warning from the general of the Jia family suddenly came to his mind.

Before he arrived in Yangzhou, he heard from the general that there was a bandit problem in Yangzhou.

A gang of bandits called Qingfengzhai was so rampant that they even controlled the waterway to Yangzhou.

From time to time they would stop people on the river and rob them.

The disturbance caused great distress to the Yangzhou officialdom and business circles.

However, Jia Lian didn't care about these at all.

Let’s not talk about the reputation of Rongguo Mansion in Daqian, but the uncle of Lin family in Yangzhou,

But he is a fourth-rank salt inspector!

Which bandit is so bold as to dare to go against an important official of the imperial court?

Thinking of this, Jia Lian felt a touch of disdain in his heart.

He secretly cursed himself for being paranoid, after all, he was the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion.

How could you be scared by a mere group of bandits?

Shaking his head and laughing,

Then Jia Lian picked up the tea on the table and was about to take a sip.

Just brought it to my mouth,

Then a dull 'bang' sound was heard.

What followed was the violent shaking of the ship.

The teacup in Jia Lian's hand splashed directly on his face, and he almost fell off the chair.

After dropping the teacup and straightening himself up, Jia Lian angrily shouted to the people outside the private room,

"Zhao'er! What's going on outside?"

"How do the people on the boat drive the boat?!"

At this time, Zhao'er's stuttering voice came from outside the cabin.

"Lian Lian Lian two, two two..."

Jia Lian angrily said, "You are such a fool!"

Zhao'er's voice said hurriedly,

"No no no..."

Jia Lian frowned.

"If you don't answer me nicely, I'll send you to the stable!"

Zhao Er said anxiously,

"No, no, no, no, it's bad, Second Master! There are, there are, there are...water bandits robbing the river!"

"what?!"

Jia Lian's expression changed, but he quickly said disdainfully,

"How dare a mere pirate act so arrogantly in front of my Jia Mansion's boat?"

"Go! Tell the leader of the group of soldiers on the deck to work hard for me and drive away the pirates. When we get to Yangzhou, I will reward each of them with two taels of silver!"

As he spoke, Jia Lian took out a handkerchief and wiped the water stains off his face.

At the same time, I felt that it was the right thing to ask for fifty or so soldiers to escort me from the previous dock!

I couldn't help but secretly praise myself for my wisdom in foreseeing the future, just like Zhuge Kongming!

But at this moment, Zhao Er outside was hesitant and said,

"Master, why don't you come out and take a look before... talking?"

"Ok?"

Jia Lian frowned slightly.

But after thinking about it, he put away the handkerchief and walked out the door while cursing angrily,

"What's the matter? Could it be that these bandits are unwilling to fight for me for two taels of silver?"

But when Jia Lian stepped out of the private room and stood in the corridor and saw the scene on the deck outside,

The whole person was stunned...
