After the scene just now, no official dared to talk about Chain Er, and no one felt that Jia Cong's presence was inappropriate.

It's just that things still have to be dealt with, and the head snake is not so easy to deal with.

But before that, Jia Cong made another suggestion: "Lord Shilang, let's talk about serious matters, I think it's better to ask a scribe to record it!" ”

"Oh, why did Jia Gongzi propose that?"

Not only the squire of the Criminal Department, but the rest of the officials all showed curious looks.

At the beginning, they were actually a little unhappy in their hearts, and Jia Cong's behavior was suspected of 'climbing along the pole'. Even if he was born in Rongguo Mansion, he is a white man to put it bluntly, and he frequently speaks out when many officials discuss things, which gives people a very bad feeling.

It's just that Jia Cong was ruthless and majestic just now, and he can be regarded as a prestige, and with the idea of not offending, the officials present did not have a seizure.

"The origin of our investigation team is complicated, and no one knows where you come from. In order to avoid the defendant's accusations in the future, or the tricks behind the scenes, I think it is better to record the content of the formal meeting and what you said! ”

Speaking of this, glancing at the thoughtful right attendant of the Criminal Department, Jia Cong chuckled and said: "When the time comes, it can be used as an official document, even if some people with bad intentions want to beat it up, there will be no chance!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the right attendant of the Criminal Department said in a loud voice: "This idea is really good, what do you think?" ”

On the surface, Jia Cong's statement was for what he said, but in fact, he did a great favor to the right attendant of the Criminal Department.

As Jia Cong said, the source of the investigation team is complicated, and no one knows what their thoughts are.

The rest of the officials naturally have no opinions, and they don't dare to say anything if they have opinions, don't they make it clear that they have a bad idea?

Soon the scribe came in, spread out the pen and paper, and prepared the shorthand.

The officials of the investigation team above the fifth grade, including the only sixth-grade official chain two, and one Bai Ding Jia Cong continued to discuss countermeasures, all of them with serious faces and solemn atmospheres, and there was a sense of ceremony.

"Resolutely can't back down, the dignified court officials are actually threatened by local gangs, and they must go back with the strongest attitude!"

"You can't say that, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, our task is to investigate the issue of Yangzhou salt administration, there is no need to make extraneous branches!"

"What is an extraneous branch, those ruffians have tools for digging boats, and they don't know the specific purpose, who knows if they will be used on our official ships?"

“……”

The officials of the investigation team had heated arguments, either choosing to be decent and resolute and not bowing their heads, or choosing to settle the matter and not to cause trouble.

As the leader of the investigation team, the right attendant of the criminal department did not speak, and after a long time, the quarrel became quieter, and then he asked Jia Cong: "Master Jia, what do you think?"

"If you really want me to say, it may be a little unpleasant!"

Jia Cong didn't join in, and when he heard the invitation of the right attendant of the Criminal Department, he smiled and groaned.

But the officials present were in their hearts, and they didn't know what kind of high opinion this son of the Jia family had, and he didn't like it?

"If you have anything to say, Jia Gongzi can say it bluntly!"

The right attendant of the Criminal Department said solemnly: "No matter how ugly the words are, compared to the task of this trip, it is nothing!" ”

Good!

Jia Cong was not polite when he heard this, and said directly: "Don't forget this mission, who knows if the gangs in the town may hinder us from moving forward?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the words were directly blocked, and in the case of the scribe's record, the officials present did not dare to talk nonsense, otherwise they would really kill themselves.

The right attendant of the Criminal Department immediately made a decision, resolutely not to give in, and the official boat of the investigation team left this dock town that night.

The rest of the officials unanimously echoed whatever was in their minds, regardless of what they thought.

Then they signed the scribe's notebook and the matter was decided so quickly.

After everyone dispersed, the right attendant of the Criminal Department looked at the minutes of the meeting in his hand, thinking that the result of this discussion was quick and decisive, he couldn't help but show a thoughtful look, and muttered to himself: "What a powerful boy!" ”

In the evening of the same day, the three official ships docked at the dock, as well as the Xue family's ships that followed, quickly set sail and left the dock town where they planned to anchor for a night's rest.

Such a resolute move by the investigation team can make the local officials and the so-called squires who are waiting for the news angry enough, and they are helpless to scold them.

The night was safe, and by the time the morning dawn was slightly dewed, the official ship fleet and the Xue family ships behind them were already more than twenty miles away from the upper dock town, and they stopped at the next canal wharf to rest.

Sailing at night is still quite dangerous. The speed was not fast at all, and they had to be prepared for possible accidents at all times, and neither the officers nor the sailors of the investigation team had rested well.

Although the voyage of about twenty miles was nothing, it had to dock at the dock to rest.

In order to strengthen the protective force, the officials of the investigation team did not care about any face problems, and directly asked the Xue family's ships to follow, at least there were hundreds of Xue family thugs on their side, and their hearts were always a little more stable.

Jia Cong didn't show up again to stimulate the gang of officials, but took Xue Pan and simply nested on the Xue family's boat and didn't come out, which was enough for the investigation team.

Of course, none of the officials of the investigation team dared to underestimate Jia Cong.

Chain Er was forced to do a hard job, and was pushed by Jia Cong to follow several officials in charge of the investigation team, trying to do a good job of communication and coordination.

He also knew his ability, due to special reasons within the Rongguo Mansion, he really didn't get much training in dealing with officials, and there was also the education of the sons and daughters of the Xungui family.

After seeing the power of Jia Cong, the third brother, naturally Jia Cong said what he did.

At least, during the mission!

It's just that trouble can't be avoided after all.

The team was so frightened that they did not stay at the pier for long, and set off immediately after replenishing some food and water.

It's just that at noon, two merchant ships followed, and it was not a good road at first glance.

The sailors on the ship are all strong men with strong bodies and fierce faces, and they are the ones who can run horses with their arms in the commentary.

The key point is that when the right attendant of the Criminal Department, the boss of the investigation team, saw a certain strong man on one of the boats, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he was even a little afraid.

The two merchant ships ignored it, and directly Yang Fan overtook in an extremely arrogant attitude, and when they reached the front, they even blocked most of the canal waterway.

"What a good thing this is!"

The other party put on a posture, and the officials of the investigation team immediately panicked, and even the right attendant of the criminal department, who had been trying his best to keep calm, changed his face......
