The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 108 Catastrophe (1)

"The Jiang family?" Guan Lianghan frowned: "The Jiang family in Jiangquan, the capital? I don't have anyone with the surname Jiang, and Xiaobing doesn't know. Why are you looking for the young master of the Jiang family? When did you get involved with the Jiang family? The third child , don’t blame the second brother for not reminding you, Jiang’s family is a pool of muddy water, behind it is Xia’s family, who is Xia’s family, I don’t know who is involved with the old man, the old man is stinky mud, whoever gets it is damn unlucky!”

"I have nothing to do with Ye Li." Xiao Shao said.

"Second brother, third brother is not for the Eighth Prince," Mo Cong teased, "It is for the young lady of the Jiang family."

"Miss Jiang's family?" Guan Lianghan said: "Doesn't Jiang Quan only have one daughter, that talented girl, the third child, you fell in love with her? Don't be so, when did your vision become so bad?"

Guan Lianghan didn't stay in the capital for a year, so he didn't know about Jiang Ruan at all. Xiao Shao gave Mo Cong a cold look, Mo Cong was unmoved, and touched his nose: "Third Brother, Ye Feng told me, didn't you order him to investigate Miss Jiang's matter. What's the matter?" He smiled narrowly at Guan Lianghan and said, "Miss Jiang just returned to Beijing at the end of the year. She was born to Jiang Shangshu's deceased wife. She looks unsurpassed in beauty. It's just that she has a fierce temper and is very powerful. She's the second Miss Jiang." Hanging around with Mrs. Jiang." He thought of something, and suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid that the second young master Jiang has fallen for her." Mo Cong was smart at first, and he also vaguely guessed about Jiang Chao's affairs. Hearing Mo Cong's words, Guan Lianghan frowned: "You mean, she is a vicious woman?"

"It doesn't matter what kind of person she is." Xiao Shao interrupted him, "You really don't have someone like Jiang Xinzhi under your command?"

Seeing him like this, Guan Lianghan put away his unscrupulous expression, and said, "There is no such person as Jiang Xinzhi, but I know someone named Zhao Xinzhi."

Zhao Xinzhi? Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows: "It's him." Jiang Xinzhi already hated the Jiang family, and it is very possible that he would change his mother's surname after joining the army.

"Where is he now?" Xiao Shao asked.

"I went to Beijing, and he followed the army behind." Guan Lianghan said: "He is my deputy general, you say he is the young master of the Jiang family?"

"Deputy General?" Mo Cong looked at Xiao Shao: "Third brother, your brother-in-law is very good."

Both Guan Lianghan and Xiao Shao regarded Mo Cong as air, Guan Lianghan said: "This Zhao Xinzhi should not be underestimated. He started as a small soldier cooking, and he did a good job. He has been promoted all the way. When he first entered the barracks, he was with Lao Qi He looks thin, looks like a scholar, and can be blown away by a gust of wind. He kept asking to go to the battlefield, but I didn't agree. Later, seeing that he was training well, I took him to fight. This man is not afraid of death. He didn't dare to kill at first, but later he did He is ruthless, and he has lost the sourness of a scholar. I think he is a man, and his battles are getting better and better. After several military exploits, he was promoted to lieutenant general. This time, he took the initiative to ask me to return to Beijing."

Xiao Shao looked at him, and Guan Lianghan said: "The Miss Jiang family you mentioned, if Zhao Xinzhi is really Jiang Xinzhi, Miss Jiang is his sister. I have heard of Zhao Xinzhi's sister, and I asked him why he is not afraid of death in war. , He said that only by making military achievements and being promoted can he have the status to protect his sister." He paused, looked at Mo Cong and said, "But when Zhao Xinzhi told me about his sister, he said that he was pure and lovely, gentle and docile, Being bullied everywhere. How did you say that you are a poisonous woman?"

Mo Cong spit out a sip of water, with a strange look on his face: "Gentle and gentle? Simple and pleasant? Being bullied everywhere?" He grabbed Xiao Shao's arm: "Third brother, I think you must have admitted the wrong person, that Zhao Xinzhi I am definitely not the same person as Jiang Xinzhi, no matter how I look at it, I can't see that Miss Jiang is a person who will be bullied, just don't be bullied by her."

Xiao Shao pulled his hand away: "What kind of person do you think Zhao Xinzhi is?"

Guan Lianghan saw that Xiao Shao's expression did not seem to be joking, and said seriously: "As you said, he is really Jiang Quan's cub, and he is also a different person from Jiang Quan. It doesn't matter whether he was a scholar before or is now a lieutenant general. They're all men."

"Is there anything special?" Xiao Shao's deep eyes were full of emotion: "For example, prophecy."

"Prophecy?" Guan Lianghan was stunned: "Third son, are you sick? What kind of prophecy does not predict? If you can predict, then you will win every battle. What do you want me to do as a general?"

When Mo Cong heard Xiao Shao's words, his expression changed, and he said, "Third brother, did you find something?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Shao said coldly: "The emperor asked Lao Ba to control the water, and also called Li An."

"Li An? What is he doing here?" Mo Cong said. He was very hostile to Li An. Li An was extremely smart, but he didn't need to be on the right path. Which of the aristocratic children who had a little friendship hadn't been fooled by him when they were young? Mo Cong is no exception, and because Mo Cong is also relatively smart, Li An often tripped him up when he was young. And as Li An grew older, the dark man's kung fu in the dark became more and more proficient, and his methods became more and more vicious.

"What does your majesty mean by this? Be optimistic about Lao Ba?" Guan Lianghan asked. Such words are heard in the ears of outsiders, and those who make false comments on family affairs will be killed, but Guan Lianghan doesn't care. If Yeli has made great contributions to water control this time, his prestige in the government and the opposition will be higher, and the people will support him more. On the contrary, the status of the prince is increasingly precarious. The mind of the person on the dragon chair in the Nine Layers Palace has always been unpredictable to their subjects, and it has been even more elusive in recent years. True or false, false or true, I am afraid that Ye Li himself does not know the emperor's intention.

"If he really liked Ye Li, the crown prince wouldn't be alive until now." Xiao Shao sneered.

"Third brother, what shall we do now?"

"Wait." Xiao Shao looked at the teacup in front of him, and said calmly: "It's not accidental that Li An returned to Beijing suddenly. I want to see what the Li family wants to do."

...

More than 20 days have passed in a row, and the rain in central Beijing has not stopped.

The pattering rain seemed to be nothing, but it fell regardless of day or night, large areas of dead animals began to appear in the capital, needless to say the crops. Not only the capital, but the entire Dajin Dynasty was under the shadow of the flood. A few days ago, the moat swelled and the dam was destroyed, and many people who lived by the river drowned. The government's disaster relief is like a mantis holding a cart, and flood control has become a top priority. The imperial court allocated a large amount of money to various places for disaster relief. It seemed that it was a large amount of money, but it was handed down layer by layer.

As a result, the number of victims in various places increased, and many of the farmer's houses were destroyed by the flood, and they became homeless refugees. Refugees chose to go to Beijing one after another. Firstly, the terrain of the capital is higher, and the disaster-stricken places are better than other places. Second, because it is at the foot of the emperor, they thought that they might be able to eat a mouthful of hot food from the government.

However, the rainwater accumulated more and more, and the refugees kept coming up. The government couldn't afford the huge amount of money and food, and stopped supplying food as early as three days ago. So the hungry refugees began to rob rich and noble families everywhere, and the rich and noble families naturally had personal guards. The conflict between the refugees and the dignitaries in Beijing became more and more serious day by day. A few days ago, it was just a lone robbery. These days, groups of three or five have started to rob houses. The doors of rich and noble families were all closed, and they dared not go out. For a while, people in the capital were panicked, and they only hoped that the flood would pass as soon as possible.
