Governor's Mansion, reception hall.

A man sat upright at the table, his expression calm and prestige.

He is in charge of Jiangnan's military and civilian affairs, a first-rank official in frontiers, the governor of Jiangnan, Tian Zhan.

With the power in his hands, he should have been proud of himself, but at this moment, there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

He originally thought that Jiangnan was managed by himself as a monolith, and he thought it was because the water couldn't get in.

But Lin Ruhai gave him a heavy blow. Lin Ruhai succumbed to him on the surface, but who knew that he had written down the accounts of the Yanzheng government clearly all these years.

If the account book is obtained by the emperor, the fate waiting for him will be ransacking the family and exterminating the family.

Fortunately, Lin Ruhai was seriously injured by the stabbing, and he was unconscious, so he could no longer pose a threat. All he had to do was find out his hidden ledger.

But who knows, the appearance of Jia Jue made the originally controllable situation complicated and confusing.

What worried him even more was that when everyone was watching Jin Yiwei's movements, Lin Ruhai disappeared.

This made him anxious.

But under such circumstances, yesterday, someone suddenly found him and showed him a book: "Jinling Travel Notes".

This is Lin Ruhai's account book!
Thinking of this, he suddenly clenched his fists, and glanced at the woman who was resting her chin in thought, her eyes full of fear.

If ordinary people threatened him with accounts, they would have been killed a hundred times by him.

But the witch in front of him is different. Not only is she strong in her own skills, but even his guard commander is no match for her. More importantly, she has an identity that makes him extremely afraid, which makes him dare not act rashly.

"What are you looking at?" At this moment, the woman suddenly looked over.

"It's nothing." Tian Zhan quickly turned his head away.

"Why are your people so slow? Why hasn't Jia Jue brought it yet?" the woman asked dissatisfied.

"Please wait a moment, the saint, it's almost time." Tian Zhan said hastily.

This woman is obviously the contemporary saint of the Red Lotus Sect.

The Red Lotus Saintess is extremely mysterious even in the Red Lotus Sect. According to legend, she is extremely beautiful, but her heart is extremely vicious, her methods are extremely cruel, and she has no scruples in doing things.

He was even willing to fight the army of the imperial court, and he was unwilling to face the Red Lotus Saintess.

At least being an enemy of the imperial court is a fight with real knives and guns, but this woman is a scheming witch, especially since she still holds a deadly account book in her hands, and more importantly, he can't escape her at this time... Take control.

He was coerced by her!

"I'll wait for another stick of incense. If you can't see him after a stick of incense, don't blame me for being cruel." The woman said lightly.

Tian Zhan was annoyed, but he could only endure it, secretly urging Commander Zhuang to move faster.

Fortunately, Commander Zhuang was very efficient in his work. It didn't take long for him to bring Jia Jue here, and Jia Yucun, Fan Jiang and the five major salt merchants came with him.

"What are you doing here? Get out!" Seeing them, Tian Zhan was furious. If it wasn't for their incompetence, how could this ledger fall into her hands?

The woman suddenly said: "Wait a minute, it's just right to come."

Seeing him, Fan Jiang, whose face was swollen and tall, said, "It's you, Miaoyu!"

This woman is Zhen'er who pretends to be Miaoyu.

After she heard the words, she looked at Jia Jue, walked up to him and smiled at him, "Unexpectedly, we will meet again so soon."

Jia Jue said with a smile, "Hi, Miss Zhen'er. It's a joy to see that the girl's demeanor is better than before."

"Hmph! Put away your nonsense! This girl didn't come here to catch up with you." Zhen Er glared at him, then pointed at Fan Jiang and the others, "Why did you get involved with them?"

"They took me and asked me to hand over my uncle, otherwise they would make my life worse than death." Jia Jue explained casually.

There was a gleam of coldness in Zhen'er's eyes: "It's a big tone."

She turned her head to look at Tian Zhan, and said coldly: "The first thing I asked you to do, Jia Jue has arrived, so you have done it. It's time to do the second thing."

Tian Zhan twitched: "Please tell me."

"Kill all these people." Zhen'er pointed at Fan Jiang and the others.

Ah!
Everyone was in an uproar.

Fan Jiang scolded angrily: "Demon girl! How dare you speak nonsense! This officer will definitely bring you to justice..."

Before the words fell, a cold light flashed.

The next moment, Fan Jiang's eyes widened, and he covered his throat, his eyes full of horror.

"Slight... Slight..." He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word at all. The next moment, a lot of blood gushed out from between his fingers.

He fell powerlessly to the ground, but there was no more sound.

Seeing this scene, everyone showed a horrified expression. No one could have imagined that Fan Jiang would die like this, and no one would have imagined that Zhen'er's attack would be so ruthless and decisive.

Including Jia Jue.

He looked at Zhen'er in surprise, yesterday he even fought with Zhen'er, and easily subdued her.

At this moment, it seems that she didn't take it seriously.

Otherwise, it would never be so simple for him to restrain her.

"You! Presumptuous!" Tian Zhan was furious when he saw this.Fan Jiang was his man, and even more his cash cow. Fan Jiang was the source of most of his income. How could he not be angry when he was killed by her like this at this time.

Zhen'er chuckled lightly: "My lord governor, what do you want to keep such a moth who is more than successful than ruined? Why do you want to keep him? When he raises troops in the future, he might even embezzle your military salary."

Everyone showed shock when they heard the words, and a "raise troops in the future" shocked the audience.

The five major salt merchants only want to make money, if they want them to oppress the common people, they dare, but if they want them to fight the court with swords and guns, how dare they!

Jia Yucun was even more astonished. After hearing that Fan Jiang revealed that Tian Zhan was standing behind him, he chose to join Tian Zhan without hesitation, in order to use Tian Zhan's power and protection to make his fortune.

But he never thought about treason, that would punish the Nine Clans!
Tian Zhan was furious: "It's nonsense! Don't spit blood!"

Although he was secretly accumulating strength, this matter was absolutely unacceptable.

Zhen'er blinked, and looked at him in surprise: "Master Tian, ​​didn't you agree to cooperate with my Red Lotus Sect and divide the world equally? Otherwise, why did you bring these people here? Didn't you mean to kill them?" , Confiscated property, for military pay?"

Ah!
Several salt merchants changed their colors together, and Jiang Quan, Wei Hu and others immediately raised their feet and wanted to leave when they heard the words.

But before they took a step, they saw several streamers flashing suddenly, and they all trembled at the same time, and then they all fell to the ground, each with a short knife stuck in the back of their hearts.

Except for Mudan, the five major salt merchants all died.

"You! You!" Tian Zhan was shocked and angry, trembling with anger.

And Jia Yucun was so frightened that his whole body was trembling. He glanced at Zhen'er with a pale face, and then suddenly knelt down in front of Jia Jue, knocking his head heavily on the ground:
"Master Hou, I know my mistake! Please Master Hou, for the sake of our clan, please spare the life of this official!"
