Chapter 1223: Life and Death Are Uncertain and the Boat Is Coming

Even in the coldest winter, the water of the Yangtze River will not freeze, because it is not the Little Ice Age.

A large group of people and goods have just crossed the river and set out on the land route to Xi'an again.

Before coming from Guangzhou, go north all the way, and then go northwest after crossing the Yangtze River.

Otherwise, you need to go to Zhengzhou, and then go from Zhengzhou to Chang'an.

This position is equivalent to the relationship between the two right angles and one hypotenuse of a right triangle.

"Mr. Zhang, the road you built is really great, so many people have to thank you."

Yan Jie followed the sedan chair with his things on his back, with a flattering smile on his face.

"What does this road have to do with me? I don't care about the trial." Zhang Jiuling put on an extra waistcoat.

After crossing the Yangtze River, the temperature here dropped to about 16 or 17 degrees.

The weak people in the family of Yan and others were taken care of. Even if they were to be beheaded, they could not be without the necessary guarantees before the verdict.

"Mr. Zhang, please help me say a few good words. I know you want to be the prime minister when you go back. When the road was being built, I gave him soup to drink. My house was raided and I didn't get any advantage."

Yan Jie was afraid of death, especially when he was walking on the road where he might be sentenced to death. This feeling of walking towards death was not so good.

He had already reacted and realized that he had been deceived.

In Shiyuan County, he destroyed all the evidence that might be unfavorable to him, and some of them were not even recorded.

It was difficult to sentence him based on witnesses alone, but he got more than 200,000 strings of cash.

Shiyuan County had no evidence, and more than 200,000 strings of cash were enough to sentence all the adults in his family to death.

He himself was also recalling whether he had killed anyone.

He blamed himself, blaming himself for being tempted by money. If he hadn't asked for bribes and robbed so many things, why would he be sentenced?

"I dare not, I don't want to leave a bad reputation in Shiyuan County. I'll say one thing for you, it's very likely that I won't be the prime minister, I'm more greedy for power."

Zhang Jiuling was very happy. From some of the collected information, Yan used power more often to get benefits in Shiyuan County.

For example, during the twenty days of labor service each year, he would arrange for the people to reclaim wasteland, and after the land was reclaimed, he would find a way to occupy the land.

There was also a local silver mine, and he embezzled the silver that was mined.

As for other people, he was more likely to intimidate and beat them.

In theory, he was sentenced to death and his family was exiled.

But those things were not done by him alone, but by many people. If everyone was willing to protect him, they would each take some of the blame and all be exiled.

Zhang Jiuling didn't know what to do. He went back to ask Li Yi.

Li Yi said to kill them, and they should be killed as they should be.

Li Yi said to spare their lives, but several important figures of the Yan family would live.

Now he was watching a group of people worrying and regretting there. Along the way, he could hear crying from time to time, especially at night.

Women cried, men cried, and children cried with them.

The people of Shiyuan County had cried and felt angry before, but now it was the turn of the instigator. Zhang Jiuling, happy? You have this day too!

"Mr. Zhang? I want to provide something important? I know there is a silver mine that needs to be dug very deep, but I dare not dig it? I am afraid of being discovered."

Yan Jie wants to make merit? Exchange? He wants to use the location of the silver mine in exchange for Zhang Jiuling to speak well of his family.

"Haha!" Zhang Jiuling tilted his head and looked at Yan Jie.

"It was just discovered at the beginning of this year? I didn't have time to dig it. I can only tell you." Yan Jie continued to test.

"Li Yi, have you heard of this name? He will give the location of the silver mine? Not to mention the silver mine? He knows all mines."

Zhang Jiuling shook his head. What's the use of telling himself?

If he goes back to be the prime minister, dare to send people to dig secretly? If I tell His Majesty, will His Majesty care?

"Mr. Zhang, you see there are beautiful women in my clan, not like tonight..."

"I think you are dead. I bully the women of the criminal clan. Do you want to kill me?" Zhang Jiuling's smile turned cold.

"Yan Jie, you are not tired, hang this around your neck and put it in front of your chest."

Pang Kuang came over from the side, holding a bag of more than ten kilograms and hanging it around Yan Jie's neck.

Yan Jie lowered his head directly. More than ten kilograms were heavy, and the key was hanging it on his neck, falling forward.

He was also carrying a large basket with things in it.

……

In the counties of Jingzhao Prefecture, including the surrounding states, greenhouses were built one after another.

The people and the merchants who had money to hire people to grow greenhouses were looking forward to the days passing quickly, and the vegetables in the greenhouses could make a fortune.

The weather was getting colder, and the green onions in the fields were dug out and tied into bundles with straw and stalks for sale.

And the cabbage still had a few days to go, so the people prepared large jars and stones, and started to store sauerkraut when the cabbage came down.

Now the bundles of green onions are bought and put in the right place. It's not good if it's too cold, it's frozen and inconvenient to use at any time.

It's even worse if it's hot, the green onions can't be preserved at all.

The green onions in Lijiazhuangzi were also harvested, but they were not sold, and they were all stored in the cellar.

Others buy scallions, but they use them as seasonings and pickles, soak them in soy sauce, or add a little salt.

The scallions in Lijiazhuang are also used for cooking, such as frying eggs and meat.

In addition, scallions are medicines, and medicines are indispensable.

They grow too many scallions, but they feel that they cannot be sold at a high price now. At the same time, those who have the conditions at home will make them into dried chopped scallions.

For example, Changsun Xin hired people to make chopped scallions.

He knew that the soldiers in the front needed them and Lijiazhuang would buy them, so he prepared in advance.

This time he didn't plan to donate, he wanted to make money, including the greenhouse.

Of course, donating a little is fine. My wife has a child. If there is danger during childbirth, won't she have to ask for help?

Chang Sunxin has already made up his mind. When the baby is about to be born, he will let his wife live in Lijiazhuang.

It's not easy to have the first child. He hopes it's a son.

"Don't hurt your hands when cutting onions. Although the payment is piecework, it's not easy to heal the skin in winter. It's troublesome to cut off a finger."

Chang Sunxin is inspecting the workshop on behalf of his wife. Otherwise, his wife will come to see all women.

His concubine didn't follow him. She was serving his wife. Otherwise, the "main wife" could not allow the concubine to sleep with him at night.

The reason can be that he is not in good health and needs to be recuperated.

He watched a group of people wearing masks and cutting onions there. He was afraid that someone would cut their hands.

The venue must be open and not closed. Cutting so many onions together will make people faint.

It's cold, and hands are easy to be insensitive.

He turned and left after saying that it was too choking. He didn't wear a mask.

"Master, hurry, hurry to the river, there's a boat coming, it's going very fast against the current." Luo Oucheng ran over and called Changsun Xin.

"Is it abnormal for the boat to be fast? It's a propeller." Changsun Xin didn't understand what he meant.

"A big ship, a twenty-foot-long big ship, smoking." Luo Oucheng explained.

He lowered his voice again: "Your Majesty and King Song are both on it, standing with Master Li Dong."

"Ah? Hurry, I'll go over and take a look, be careful when you speak, and don't make a sound if you can when you see him later."

Changsun Xin was excited when he heard that His Majesty was coming, and he could finally see him again.

He used to be able to see him all the time, but now the road is far, how can he go to see him? He can't find an excuse.

The big house that was given as a gift, without a big bed, was given in vain, His Majesty didn't want to transfer him back, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make a fortune.
