Mei Jiu, Mei Gu and the other Mei family members saw that Mei Xun was caught by the chokehold, their eyes were tearing apart, they wished they could tear Jia Qiang to pieces, and shouted sternly.

The owners of the Feng family, the Xu family, and the four major salt merchants also spoke one after another:

"Let people go first!"

"What kind of system is it, let it go quickly!"

"How bold! This is Yangzhou Mansion, not a place where you can run wild, let go immediately, or..."

"How about otherwise?"

The head of the Bai family, Bai Yuan, hadn't finished speaking when he heard a cold voice behind him.

Everyone looked back, and Qi Qi's expression changed drastically.

Chen Rong, the censor of the Yanyuan yamen, no longer had a trace of the kindness and elegance of the past on his body at this moment, but instead had a terrifying aura.

Behind him, followed by a group of more than a hundred Yan Ding, holding shackles and chains, like the eyes of tigers and wolves.

Seeing Chen Rong like this, the Mei family lost their voices for a moment, Feng Jian stepped forward and said, "Brother Mian, what do you mean?"

The Patriarch of the Bai family was nervous and questioned: "Master Chen, as far as I know, today the emperor has issued a decree to reduce the Yanyuan Yamen. The governor of Liangjiang was promoted to the Yamen in Jiangning yesterday, and the decree has been achieved. It seems that the Yanyuan Yamen has not mobilized the Yanyuan now. Ding's power, right?"

Chen Rong's face was stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is at the Yamen of the Salt Court at this moment, this order is the first government order after the Governor-General took charge of the salt affairs."

"What order is it?!"

Feng Jian asked tremblingly.

Chen Rong looked at him, with disappointment and regret in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "According to the governor's order, the crime of Feng's family is supporting the Qinghe gang, which is a disaster for Yangzhou. The crime of Mei's family is suspected of salt smuggling. I came here specially today. Capture the Feng family and the Mei family! Anyone who dares to resist the order will be beheaded on the spot!"

Hearing the words, Feng's father and son were naturally struck by lightning, but it was the Mei family who were really afraid.

Once the salt merchant is charged with this crime, it is impossible to clear it up.

Which salt merchant doesn't dump some private salt?

It's just a difference in quantity.

As long as it is not excessive, most of the officials will turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, as long as they pay the salt tax on time and donate more charitable silver on weekdays.

But once you go to investigate, it means that you have been sentenced to death.

When Mei Xun was captured by Jia Qiang's throat, he could still keep his face unchanged, but at this moment, his face was ashen, his body was like chaff, and he looked at Chen Rong with pleading eyes, and asked in a trembling voice: "Master Chen... Where is Master Lin?" ?”

When Chen Rong heard this, his eyes were cold and he said: "My lord Yushi and my lord governor are old friends who have known each other for more than ten years, so I can naturally tell you about the Mei family. However, before the lord can speak, the news about Meiyuan today Back to the yamen. Hmph, my lord personally sent his disciples to celebrate his birthday, but he could only sit in the side hall, and someone dared to force him to kneel down to make amends... Okay! What an eye-opener! You all go to the prison together and have a good discussion How are you going to apologize!"

Jia Qiang let go of Mei Xun casually, and let him lie limp on the ground. Under the gaze of everyone, she wiped her hands with a handkerchief, walked up to Chen Rong, bowed slightly, and said softly, "Master, if you Nothing, I'll take Auntie back to Yamen first."

Chen Rong was a little surprised when he heard the words. He didn't expect that Jia Qiang would not take the opportunity to stomp on the face of these people, but it's better...

He nodded and said: "Go ahead, Your Excellency and the governor of Liangjiang, Ban Shangong, were talking in Zhonglin hall, and they are waiting for you to go back."

Jia Qiang: "..."

Day, how could it be that stubborn old man?

Then his life in Jiangnan, I'm afraid it won't be too easy...

Chapter 162 Difficult (please subscribe!!)

"Second Master Qiang, you have been here in Yangzhou Mansion from the capital for so many days. I knew that you were going to serve the sick in the Yanyuan yamen earlier, so I didn't dare to bother you. Now that Master Yanyuan has recovered, we are waiting for you. If you don't show the friendship of the landlord, it will be meaningless. In the future, it will be reported back to the capital, and the capital will only say that we young people in Yangzhou Prefecture don't know how to treat guests. But they don't know when Second Master Qiang will have time to show his face, and we are on the Slender West Lake. Have a few cups of rice wine and enjoy the beauty of Yangzhou?"

Just as Jia Qiang was about to leave, Xu Zhen who had helped him speak in the side hall suddenly asked with a loud laugh.

Just this occasion...

This atmosphere...

At least it almost didn't make the Mei family and the Feng family angry!

However, in the eyes of the other patriarchs, all of them showed extraordinary splendor. They looked at Xu Zhen with admiration, and winked at their nephews one after another.

They are all from human origins, how could the nephews of each family not understand how to stand in line at this moment?

Therefore, they all echoed Xu Zhenlai, including Bai Ziqing from the previous Bai family, and four young people from the eight major salt merchants who had no elders to come.

"That's why, although our Yangzhou government can't compare with Duzhong Shenjing, it's still quite interesting."

"Yes, if even a splendid figure like Second Master Qiang comes to Yangzhou, if we don't entertain him, how can we have the face to meet his peers in the capital?"

"Must, must, arrange!"

However, he didn't want to. Xu Zhen, who started at the beginning, said lazily: "Hey, there are only a few thousand glasses of wine when you meet a bosom friend, and there are too many words if you don't speculate. It's your business if you want to invite me, Ziming, Zixun and others." The four of Yuan Cheng are the most incompetent members of the clan, so they can chat together. Second Master Qiang, if you don't mind, how about our brothers taking care of you on the Slender West Lake painting boat tonight?"

When Bai Ziqing and other young people heard the words, their expressions all darkened.

The faces of the other patriarchs also changed, because none of Xu Zhen's names were their nephews.

They were all the salt merchants who didn't come, and the stubborn children who were not valued by the family were sent here. Most of them were famous swingers in Yangzhou Mansion, and they had the same virtue as Xu Zhen.

Unexpectedly, Jia Qiang actually smiled and said, "I can't do it tonight, I have something to do as my elders ordered...tomorrow."

Xu Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he laughed and said, "Okay! Then it's settled. We'll be on the boat on the Slender West Lake at Xushi tomorrow night. See you soon! By the way, Second Master Qiang, Xu Zhen!"

After finishing speaking, he directly asked the head of the Xu family, Xu Minghe, stretched out his hand and said, "Old man, will you give me the money? If I don't give it, I will have to rely on the second master Qiang. When the time comes, the shameful reputation of the Xu family will be passed on." It doesn't matter to me if I go to the capital, but if my eldest brother goes to catch the exam..."

For the first time, Xu Minghe thought, why is this wicked son so damn cute?

So he kept laughing and cursing: "Hey, good hospitality! If you make a mistake, be careful with your skin!"

After Bai Ziqing got his father Bai Yuan's crazy hint like a corn, he suppressed the humiliation in his heart and apologized with a smile: "Such a good thing can't be taken by Zhong Luan, I..."

However, he looked at Jia Qiang enthusiastically, but Jia Qiang glanced over miserably, and strode away without stopping.

Bai Ziqing's face suddenly turned red, then turned purple, and finally turned black...

"Hey hey hey!"

Xu Zhen tilted his head and stood aside in a dazed manner, looking at his face, and laughed unkindly.
