After everyone watched this Confucian giant drift away with the demeanor of a master in the world, Song Yan looked at Jia Cong and said: "Cong'er don't worry, the humble and wise prince is the master of the world, who can distinguish between right and wrong, and will not move over you." You're busy today, so let's go......"

Jia Cong was about to thank him and say goodbye, but the other old men did not follow.

One of the wealthy old men said with a dissatisfied face: "Song Changong, although we are not as virtuous as the humble and virtuous princes, but in the end, we have lived a handful of years, and we can be regarded as having a little knowledge. Isn't it worthy to meet your disciple face to face and get acquainted with each other? Besides, last month, Mr. Mu Min came to look for me specifically for you, a disciple, and told him that it would be unreasonable to see the Lord today and not know him. ”

The words of the rich old man were echoed by four or five other old men who were different in height, shortness, fat and thinness, but all of them had a graceful bearing.

Song Yanxu was tired and smiled silently.

Although Cao Yong also had white hair, he was younger, and introduced Jia Cong: "Little Qingchen...... Ahem, Qingchen, this is the old man of the Chu family in Jiangnan, his name is Chu Xin, and he is called Chu Fatzi......"

Without waiting for Cao Yong to finish his joke, Jia Cong bowed slightly to the rich old man and greeted: "It turned out that Mr. Dongming was in person, and the boy Jia Cong was polite." ”

The Chu family is one of the thirteen wang families in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are ranked highly.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the current wife of the Zhen family, Zhen Yingjia's wife is the daughter of the Chu family.

Because the Jia family and the Zhen family also have old relatives, the Jia family and the Chu family also have a relationship.

Chu Dongming looked kind, listening to an old man, he looked at Jia Cong and said: "Okay, you are worthy of being the grandson of the first Rongguo, and you have the legacy of your grandfather." ”

After Jia Cong humbled a few sentences, Cao Yong introduced him to four other old men, who were also the patriarchs of four of the thirteen families in Jiangnan, all of whom were highly respected.

After some acquaintance, Chu Dongming, who seemed to have the highest status, smiled again: "Qingchen, what you said to Qianming Gong before is all true?" ”

Before Jia Cong could answer, Cao Yong was unhappy and said, "Old man Dongming, what do you mean?" ”

Chu Dongming smiled and said, "Brother Runqin, you don't want to be good or bad." With Mr. Mumin and Song Changong here, what other bad intentions can I have? Not only is it not bad, but it is a good heart. Think about it, even Qian Minggong was disturbed by rumors, and had doubts and misunderstandings, not to mention other people? Today, it is good for the old man to be the villain, and to ask and understand it as soon as possible. After asking, tonight the old man set up a big banquet in Wangjiang Pavilion to invite the host, and wash the dust for our Qingchen son. ”

Before Cao Yong refused, Jia Cong nodded and smiled: "It's not necessary to catch the wind and wash the dust...... How dare the younger generation lie in front of the humble old man? ”

Chu Dongming followed up and asked, "Really didn't you come here for the new law?" ”

Jia Cong shook his head and said: "The younger generation is not ambitious to learn, and he is only shallow in learning. The court is a difficult problem for all the princes to solve, how dare the younger generation be arrogant? It is involved in the dispute of the avenue, and the younger generation really dare not have this intention. ”

Chu Dongming nodded and said, "It is worthy of Mr. Mu Min and Song Chan Gong to reconcile, just with this knowledge, the younger generation belongs to you." That...... What did you say earlier about Liu Zhao's account books? Did it really burn? The old man is not afraid of anything, the Chu family has nothing to do with Liu Zhaosu. But do you really want to have such a thing? It's a curse and not a blessing to keep it. ”

This can be seen as a good word of persuasion, but it can also be seen as a threat.

But in any case, Chu Dongming dared to talk about these in front of the commander of Jinyi, which shows how confident the thirteen families in Jiangnan are in the land of Jiangnan!

Of course, he was right.

After the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao brought the power of a great victory and swept the world, and the letters of allegiance written to Yuan Shao by the internal generals had to be burned, not to mention Jia Cong?

If you really want to use a box of so-called evidence to clean up the world in Jiangnan, it is pure death.

This world is never simply right and wrong, and it is never pure......

Jia Cong laughed when he heard this, nodded and said: "Yes, Liu Zhao is cunning, and anyone who colludes with him to do evil, he will keep account books and evidence for blackmail." However, when the elders led people to kill Liu Zhao in the evening of the same day, the Thousand Households unfortunately caught fire and burned most of them, and only a small part was rescued. As for whether it is a blessing or a curse...... Let's talk about it. Just relying on the evidence left by a traitor, in fact, it can't set off a big storm. ”

As he spoke, Jia Cong's gaze swept around......

Originally, it was just a boring conversation, but the atmosphere around it was as cold as winter.

I don't know how many people are tense and look at him with solemn faces.

When he heard him say that Liu Zhao had account books, many people had anger and even murderous intent in their eyes.

However, when they heard that most of them were burned, their faces were soothed, and they only had a little suspicion.

As long as there is a possible way out, the vast majority of people will lose the courage to break the kettle and sink the boat, the fish die and the net is broken, and the jade is burned.

After retracting his gaze with a smile, Jia Cong looked at Chu Dongming again.

Chu Dongming was obviously not very satisfied with Jia Cong's words, but he didn't have a good idea of him.

After all, Song Yan was still sitting on the side, although he was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, Chu Dongming understood that as long as Song Yan sat there, it was a warning to many people......

After a pause, Chu Dongming sighed lightly, looked at Jia Cong and said, "Liu Zhao has also seen this old man, and he is quite humble and polite, I really can't see that he has the intention of rebellion...... Now it seems that people are really unseemly.

It's just that even the old man can't see through it, and others may not be able to see through it.

Because I knew that the old man was closer to Song Changong, there were quite a few people who came to the door to intercede these days. I hope that the old man will persuade Song Changong and let him order you to open the net. The old man didn't open his mouth to Song Chan, because he knew his temperament and character, and you were his most proud disciple.

But today, the old man has a shy old face and wants to ask Qingchen for a personal favor.

There are several store businesses in which Liu Zhao only accounts for a few shares, and he does not interfere in the operation, and the old man dares to guarantee it, which is definitely a clean family.

They rely on that small business to make a living so that they can study in peace.

Qingchen, you see ......"

When Jia Cong heard this, after looking at Song Yan, who was still half-closed and pretending to sleep, he smiled: "Mr. Dongming speaks, how dare the kid refuse?" In this way, Mr. Lao Dongming told those families to redeem them with silver. For Mr. Dongming's sake, the kid doesn't pay a high price. ”

actually negotiated the price in front of the Confucian...... Many people's faces turned weird, but Chu Dongming was concerned: "Redeem Liu Zhaozhan's dry shares?" ”

Jia Cong shook his head and smiled, and said, "All." ”

When Chu Dongming heard this, his originally smiling and kind face was a little unbearable, and the price of redeeming it at full price was too great.

I wanted to say something more, but Song Yan suddenly opened his eyes, looked at him and said, "That's it, if anyone is still dissatisfied, let him come to find the old man." ”

When Chu Dongming heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched on his old face, and he said, "Okay, I am also benevolent and righteous." Go on...... Alas! He said to Song Yan with a smile on his face: "Don't blame Song Changong for bullying the young, those few families can still sit down now, and they all rely on Song Changong and Mr. Mu Min to take charge, but they are almost impatient." I really don't want your proud disciple of Song Changong to be used as a sword and conflict with those local families in Jiangnan......"

Song Yan slowly bowed his head when he heard this, and said, "Dongming doesn't need to say much, the old man understands, and Cong'er also understands." ”

After that, he looked at Jia Cong and compared the back, and said, "After seeing your three senior brothers, go back, the dock has occupied for so long, it's not good to delay any longer." ”

After Jia Cong responded, he bowed his hand to the three middle-aged and elderly men standing behind Song Yan and said, "The junior brother has seen the three senior brothers. ”

These three people are the three sons of Song Yan, and now they are all ......

The eldest son Song Xian, the second son Song Yuan, and the third son Song Ye.

The three of them greeted Jia Cong with smiles on their faces, and after agreeing to meet in the Song Mansion tomorrow, Jia Cong said goodbye to Song Yan, Cao Yong and other old people.

After saluting, he turned over his horse again and went out.

It's just that I didn't go back to the city directly, and after only walking a few dozen steps, I had to stop again.

Because the official signs of seven or eight officials, including the political envoy of Jiangnan Province, the prefect of Jinling, and the commander of Jiangning County, were erected on the side of the road.

It seems that these new party backbones and Song Yan, Cao Yong and other old party giants are really well water and do not violate river water, maybe they have fought before, but they are only face-to-face, and the rest of the time is clearly distinguished.

There were several official chairs under a few cool umbrellas on the side of the road, and seven or eight men in official uniforms were sitting.

It doesn't look good, and the eyes are not very good......

The middle of the body is dressed in a supplement from the second grade, and his face is even more expressionless.

Come to think of it, what Jia Cong said to those old stubborn stones who blocked the passage of the new law in front of him has already reached this side.

In particular, he has repeatedly confirmed that he will not interfere in the implementation of the new law.

This was obviously very displeasing to the members of the New Party......

When Jia Cong drove his horse past Lema, the second official of the political envoy Yamenzuo, the prefect of Yingtianfu and the same governor, the judge, and the county magistrate of Jiangning County stood up to greet him.

Only Tang Yan, the political envoy of Jiangnan who was sitting in the middle, did not get up, because those old stubborns didn't get up, how could he surrender his identity?

But to his surprise, he didn't get up to greet him, and Jia Cong didn't get off the horse......

Seeing this, the displeasure and disgust in Tang Yan's heart instantly turned into extreme disgust.

He has no ability to govern the government, but he is very good at the way of officialdom to meet the people, so that he can rise to the top.

Originally, even if he didn't like Jia Cong, he could be humble and wrong.

What's more, Fang Yue and the others had a mention last night......

But what Fang Yue and the others didn't know was that Tang Yan once had a sister who married Zhang Qun, the left waiter of the former Zhongli Domain, and had a daughter named Zhang Yi.

When Zhang Yi grew up, she was elected to the palace, and was later favored as one of the four concubines, Concubine Shu.

This is Tang Yan's niece, but because of his involvement with Jia Cong and Ye Qing, he was beaten into the cold palace by the angry Queen Mother, and Zhang Qun was also exiled to death.

This should have been Tang Yan's biggest help and political resource in his life, and he could even benefit three generations.

But because of a shaft, how could this not make Tang Yan's heart ache and hate?

He didn't dare to hate the Queen Mother, and he couldn't hate Ye Qing, so he could only hate Jia Cong, a "shameless villain".

Originally, if Jia Cong honestly followed the plan of the New Party, he did his duty to make a knife, and after he used it up, he would "break" it, and he could also greet him with a smile on the scene.

But hearing Jia Cong's previous statement, Tang Yan couldn't suppress the disgust in his heart at all.

Seeing Jia Cong so rude, he didn't even get off the horse, looking down at him condescendingly, and he was even more angry.

He looked at Jia Cong and said coldly: "Lord Jia, the Son of Heaven and Yuan Fu ordered you to come to Jiangnan, did they just let you mess around?" What's the use of not coming for the new law? You'd better have an explanation for what you just said! ”

The crowd around was silent, but there was some commotion in the old party camp not far behind.

Jia Cong didn't wait for reinforcements, he sat on his horse and laughed, and the laughter was full of sarcasm.

Seeing that Tang Yan's eyes were becoming more and more angry, Jia Cong suppressed his laughter, raised his chin slightly, and said loudly, "Give you an explanation?" Lord Tang, you'd better understand your own position.

I, Jia Qingchen, have been acting all my life, so why do I need to explain it to you? Joke! ”

After that, ignoring the "kind words and persuasion" of the prefect of Tianfu and others, who wanted to be the middleman, Jia Cong raised his horsewhip and threw out a whip. The horses rose and galloped forward.

"Drive!"

Hundreds of brocade-clothed horsemen followed, and three thousand tigers followed.

At this moment, a passionate sound of zither suddenly came from the northwest, and a bosom friend blurted out:

"This is King Qin's Breaking Array!!"

When Tang Yan heard this, he felt a bloody breath surging up his throat, his fists clenched, and he was crazy with hatred.
