The night is dark, but there are countless torches, illuminating Yangzhou Xicheng and Yulang Street from all directions.

Around the Bai family's mansion, the water that has been surrounded is impassable.

But no one stepped forward to offend......

"Your Excellency!"

Wei Chen, the secretary of the brocade guard, looked excited, and even stepped forward to salute excitedly.

He was originally from Jinling, and he knew what the concept of the Bai family, the head of the eight salt merchants, was, so he became more and more excited than others.

Jia Cong nodded in return, glanced at the Bai family, and asked, "Are all those salts settled?" ”

Wei Chen said: "I sent three hundred horsemen to the Phoenix Island camp and built a barracks." In the past, although smuggling smuggled salt was also a matter of losing heads, there were many people in Yangzhou who were doing it, and they were not afraid of anything. But now it's different, no one has the courage to really rebel, and even the nine clans are still begging to atone for their sins. ”

Jia Cong said noncommittally: "Let's take it on the barracks first." He said, "Can someone from the Bai family come out?" ”

Wei Chen said with a smile: "I have sent it a few times, first threaten, and then please if the threat does not work." He also sent people out to reward the army, haha! ”

Jia Cong also chuckled and said, "It's like the Bai family's methods." ”

As he was talking, he saw Han Tao and Yao Yuan, the two major envoys of the town, bringing people to arrive.

The two stepped forward to salute, and one took out a stack of letters from his arms, and Han Tao said loudly: "My lord is clever, and he has a great harvest if he intercepts him everywhere!" He stopped seven fast horses, and at first glance he looked like a ghost......"

Yao Yuan also smiled and said, "My lord, I also stopped six letters for help. ”

Jia Cong took it, opened it and looked at ten lines, changed it again, and finally only looked at the name mentioned at the beginning.

After reading more than a dozen letters, he smiled dumbly and said, "If a person wants to die, he can't stop it." Even if you don't stop it, after these letters are sent, there are people who want the Bai family to shut up forever. However, with these, the Bai family's charges are completely confirmed. ”

I don't know if I was really forced to be anxious, or if my brain was in water, the letters written by Bai Shijie were very substandard.

He actually used a threatening tone to force many officials in Jiangnan to save him, and even said such things as the fish was dead and the net was broken......

Wei Chen seemed to see through Jia Cong's thoughts, and after he hurriedly swept a few letters, he smiled at Jia Cong and said: "It's because adults put too much pressure on him, and now Jiangnan officialdom generally thinks that adults don't do things according to common sense." He was worried that if the adults really wanted to attack the Bai family with surprise soldiers, if that was the case, everything would be over. According to what adults have done before, this kind of thing is very likely to happen. The life of the whole family is involved, so Bai Shijie can't help it. As long as he can save his life and breathe a sigh of relief, he has a way to make up for it. It's just that he didn't expect that the adults would send someone to intercept him in advance, but he was convicted of the crime. ”

Han Tao was amazed: "It's not a framed him, he, a salt merchant, dares to talk to these second- and third-grade civil generals in such a tone, it's amazing!" Jiangnan Bu political envoy capital...... Hey! ”

Yao Yuan hesitated: "Jiangnan's political envoy is a member of the New Party, right?" ”

Jia Cong said lightly: "There is no difference. ”

Everyone's expressions were stunned, and Wei Chen was about to say something, but he saw a commotion behind him.

Jia Cong glanced back, and then said to Zhan Peng, who was guarding on the side, "Go pick her up." ”

It was the tea lady who came with a few people.

Han Tao, Yao Yuan, Wei Chen and others didn't recognize her yet, Jia Cong briefly described it, and the three of them looked at each other.

Zhan Peng led the tea lady to get close to each other, and Jia Cong let them know each other.

Jia Cong asked the tea lady: "Do you want to ask Bai Shijie in person?" ”

The tea lady nodded silently and said, "I have been in the Guan family for four generations, and how many children have died for the Bai family, loyal and unswerving. The two families are even connected by blood...... The slave family wants to ask Bai Shijie why he can do this......

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "Although you have the answer in your heart, since you want to ask, then ask, it's good to untie the knot in your heart." ”

After that, he said to Zhanpeng: "Protect your sister and go talk to Bai Shijie." ”

After Zhan Peng got down, he escorted the tea lady to the Bai family's mansion.

Behind the tea lady, two men who did not look like ordinary clothes also guarded the left and right.

Shen Lang, who had always been taciturn, said four words to Jia Cong softly after looking at the two: "They are all masters." ”

Jia Cong didn't ask him how he saw it, he just nodded.

In fact, it is also expected, if Zhanpeng does not meet Jia Cong and survives, as long as the tea lady needs it, he will most likely go to the soup.

The reason why Bai Shijie is so jealous of the tea lady's father and his brother is because the favor that the Guan family has accumulated over the years is really terrifying.

Meng Weijun received 3,000 guests to survive, and the three kingdoms were the prime minister, how could the incense that several generations of the Guan family had saved for more than 100 years be underestimated?

There are a few die-hard masters around, which is reasonable.

If it weren't for the fact that the tea lady had so much energy, Jia Cong wouldn't have bothered to treat her so much......

……

"Even you betrayed me?!"

On the high wall of the Bai family's gatehouse, Bai Shijie saw that among the people who came on horseback, the figure of the tea lady appeared, and his eyes were really cracked.

This was the last person he had planned to use on the run, the last way back.

Regarding the path that several generations of his family have blazed for, he is confident that he can escape.

But now, even the last way has been cut off.

The tea lady looked up at Bai Shijie, who was thundering, and asked in a cold voice: "Bai Shijie, why did you kill my father and your brother?" ”

Bai Shijie was stunned when he heard this, and then denied it: "Do you believe this kind of bastard?!" Several generations of the Guan family have shared the glory and disgrace with my Bai family, and they have never been dirty, why should I kill your father? ”

The tea lady couldn't help but be disappointed in her eyes, and said, "You are still quibbling? You let Liu Zhao move his hand, Liu Zhao recognized it, do you dare to do it? ”

"Impossible! Liu Zhao is already dead, how can he ......?"

When Bai Shijie heard the word Liu Zhao, his face changed greatly, and he continued to deny it, but halfway through speaking, he stopped.

If it weren't for the chaos, he would never have shown such a fork......

Seeing that the tea lady below had a cold face and a calm gaze, Bai Shijie was still saving: "Thirteen Niang, I mean, Liu Zhao is dead, it's all those villains who are tricking you!" Liu Zhao's son is here with me, how dare he say these words? ”

The tea lady was silent, and Zhan Peng said loudly: "You villain still dare to quibble, not only Liu Zhao left a secret book to write the good things you did, but even your subordinate Qi Gang recognized it, you dare not be a fool!" ”

Bai Shijie scolded angrily: "Fart! Qi Gang didn't know ...... at all"

"Oh......"

Zhan Peng prolonged his voice proudly, and said to the tea lady: "Sister, you don't look at me stupidly, right?" They all said that this surnamed Bai is a hero, and I see that he is not as good as me! ”

The corners of the tea lady's mouth twitched, and she nodded: "He is not as good as you, far behind." ”

After that, he turned the horse, didn't listen to Bai Shijie's shout, and turned to leave.

Bai Shijie trembled angrily, he never thought that one day, he would also be able to experience the taste of being bullied by dogs and betraying his relatives in Pingyang.

He looked into the darkness in the distance, and he couldn't see the figure clearly, but he knew that the man must be there watching him.

Bai Shijie roared with all his strength: "Jia Cong, Jia Qingchen, you come out!" ”

"Despicable villain, my Bai family has contributed to the country for generations! The Emperor Taishang's imperial pen praised me for the righteous businessmen of the Bai family, and you dare to bully you, the lackey of the heavenly family? ! ”

"Jia Cong, Jia Qingchen, there is a kind of you coming out!"

"My Bai family has been ...... for generations"

Bai Shijie chattered and shouted on the thick high wall of the Bai family, and at the end of Yulang Street, Jia Cong sat on a horse, but his face did not change.

After the tea lady turned back, Jia Cong sighed lightly and said, "The world is like this, Thirteen Niang don't have to be sad." ”

The tea lady shook her head slowly, groaned for a while, took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket, handed it to Jia Cong, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "On this are the hidden piles and leaders of the Bai family in Yangzhou Mansion, Jinling, Suzhou Mansion, Zhenjiang Mansion, Zhijiang Province, Yuezhou Province, Lianghu and Shenjing Chang'an. ”

After Jia Cong took it and looked at it, he handed it to Wei Chen on the side, and said, "Send the list to thousands of households in each province and tell them that the six provinces are wanted, and no one must be missed." ”

"Whoa!"

Wei Chen took the order and left.

The tea lady said: "The Bai family and the Qin family in Jiangnan are friends by in-law, and they have a close relationship. and Jiangnan Zhen's ......"

"Alright."

Jia Cong stopped the tea lady's words in a gentle voice and said, "I won't talk about this today, although it has been a long time since the incident, you must not be quiet in your heart." But if you have a righteous heart, you will see it. Let's go back and have a good night's rest......"

When the tea lady heard this, she glanced at Jia Cong deeply, nodded, and was about to rein in her horse and leave, when she heard Zhanpeng ask on the side: "Sister, do you still want to protect the blood of the Bai family?" ”

Before the tea lady answered, Jia Cong scolded: "What do you know? Thirteen Niang does not protect the blood of the Bai family, but the loyalty in the blood of the Guan family. Although Bai Shijie is unkind, Thirteen Niang will not be unjust. In the future, good students and Thirteen Niang will learn, don't know how to poke yourself with a knife all day long. ”

The last sentence made the tea lady with a heavy face can't help but smile a little.

After nodding with Jia Cong, under the protection of several subordinates, the tea lady rode away.

Looking at her back, Han Tao sighed: "My lord, when it comes to the real strength in the Jiangnan realm, we are afraid that she is not as good as her, my lord is ...... smart."

Jia Cong looked sideways and said: "Do you think I am Bai Shijie and others, and I am also for the incense that the Guan family has saved for generations?" ”

Han Tao heed twice, and said insincerely: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Jia Cong sneered, glanced at the people around him, and said, "This is the level of vision, so I can sit in this position at my age, and you Han Tao will only reappear when you are forty years old." ”

There was a burst of laughter around, Han Tao's face was stupid, and he said, "How dare you compare with adults in a humble position?" Like an adult, you can't have a ...... in a hundred years."

Jia Cong ignored it and continued: "I value Thirteen Niang, not because of the huge energy of her subordinates, not because she wants to take advantage of the situation to gain power, and not because she is greedy for beauty......

Just for this person.

Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one will be hard to find!

I warn you, do not think that if you stand firm now, all will be well, and you will be able to enjoy peace and prosperity......

It's still far from it!

Inside the brocade guard, there has never been an iron hat.

The capable go up, and the mediocre go down.

If any of you rest on your laurels, thinking that you can eat, drink, prostitute and gamble on your merits, I advise you to take off this brocade garment now.

Remembering the previous friendship, I will keep you peaceful for the rest of your life.

But as long as you don't go in this brocade robe, don't indulge indiscriminately.

Especially a few of you, dignified men with eyebrows, if any of them let Thirteen Niang overtake them, find a piece of tofu and kill them. ”

After that, he flicked the reins of the horse and rode away.

Zhan Peng and Shen Lang hurriedly led people to escort them.

Behind him, Yao Yuan looked at the old enemy Han Tao, and said with a smile: "Old Han, you have been careful all your life, but now you are bold, even the thoughts of adults dare to figure out in public, tsk, get carried away, right?" I advise you to take off this brocade dress as soon as possible and go back to take care of your children. Otherwise, Ming'er will be confused again, and he will not polish out all this bit of affection......"

When Han Tao heard this, he suddenly changed color, glared at Yao Yuan angrily, but after looking at it for a long time, he finally lowered his head in frustration, slapped his mouth, and scolded himself: "This stinky mouth is really a panic!" Long lesson, long lesson! ”

"Hahaha!"
