Li Mu's expression calmed down when he heard this, and he looked at Qi Yun and said, "It's strange that the old man Qi values ​​you, the eldest grandson of the house, so much. It's really good. Well, since you young people can solve it by yourself, I will leave first."

I just don't want to wait for Li Mu to leave, the situation will change again...

Chapter 175 Don't Make Knives With Others

"Master Chen?!"

Li Mu, the magistrate of Yangzhou, hadn't gone downstairs yet, when he saw someone coming up the stairs, his complexion changed immediately, and he hurriedly bowed down to the official, "I have seen Mr. Chen."

The person who came was Chen Rong and Chen Mianren, the censor who came from the Yamen of the Salt Court. After he came in, he first looked at Jia Qiang, and seeing that she was fine, he glanced around again, and saw Xue Pan and Qi Fu. The wounded person paused, then nodded to Li Mu and said, "Why did Prefect Li come here?"

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said: "The lower official heard that there are disturbers here, so I came here to check."

"Oh? Then what's the result of the inspection?"

Chen Rong's gaze fell on Third Master Liu beside Jia Lian again, and he couldn't help frowning.

Although Li Mu has white beard and hair, Chen Rong is more than ten years older than Chen Rong, but Chen Rong is a senior official, and his future is obviously limitless, so in the officialdom, Li Mu still has to respect Chen Rong, leaning forward and saying: "My lord, this is just a stubborn child. Nao, they have already settled the matter themselves, so there is no need for the Yangzhou government to intervene."

Chen Rong was startled when he heard the words, looked at Jia Qiang and said, "My lord and the governor heard that you were being bullied by others, so they specially ordered me to bring two teams of salt men to take a look. Brother Qiang, if you have any complaints, just ask me." Come on. You have been praised by the Supreme Emperor and the emperor many times in Beijing, and the Supreme Emperor always supports you and does not let you be wronged. Now that you come to Yangzhou Mansion, no one will let you be wronged."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the Pearl Pavilion was shocked.

The Qi family present and Third Master Liu, who wanted to save some face, did not dare to say a word. They were terrified in their hearts, lest they would become the target of the two big bosses in the Yanyuan yamen!

Different from ordinary people who think that Lin Ruhai and Han Bin are panicking because of Jia Qiang, the reason why Qi Yun also has a palpitation is because he is more and more sure that the court will change the government of salt affairs. , even rushing to Yangzhou overnight, there is a big conspiracy.

Now that Chen Rong said so, it was clear that Han Bin wanted to use Jia Qiang's knife to take the opportunity to penetrate into Qi's family.

Even if he doesn't know how to ransack his home for a while, but once he is given the chance, sooner or later something big will happen!

Although the Qi family has always been extremely skilled and good at protecting themselves, but, as Lin Ruhai said, none of the dry salt merchants has a clean ass.

Apart from the sale of private salt, there is also a Jianghu team of more than 300 people secretly supported, all of which are composed of so-called Jianghu masters and desperadoes.

In the profiteering business of selling private salt, every step is accompanied by blood, and that is the real situation in the world.

And these things, in fact, can't stand the real investigation...

Even though there are many giants standing behind the Qi family, who have enshrined the "divine throne" for so many years, those people are far away in the capital, beyond their reach, how can they protect Han Bin's vertical blow?

Qi Yun only hoped that Jia Qiang really had a peaceful heart, and what he said just now was not to fool them, so that this matter could be forgiven.

But not to mention Qi Yun, even Xu Zhen, his heart was raised in his throat, and he didn't even have half confidence.

After all, if it were him, there would be no reason to refuse to be the knife in the hands of Han Banshan, the chief assistant of the military aircraft in the future!

However, to their surprise and joy, Jia Qiang said inexplicably, "Master, why do you mobilize the teachers? It's just a small matter, and now it's all taken care of, and you still need the presence of a dignified fourth-rank official?"

When Chen Rong heard the words, a complex look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't know whether he should blame, be disappointed, or be relieved. You must know what kind of path Jia Qiang rejected...

That was an opportunity that even he longed for!

Han Banshan's momentum, Jingchu's former officials will suppress it for another three years at most, and after three years, the power will skyrocket!

As the knife in his hand, is there any reason not to go straight to the sky?

However, since Jia Qiang said so, he stopped being troublesome. After taking a deep look at Jia Qiang, he said: "In this case, you can solve it yourself, just think that we old troublesome people are nothing to worry about. field."

Jia Qiang laughed and said: "Where is the uncle, I am grateful to my nephew for being able to come. It is also because of the presence of elders like my husband, half-mountain and uncle that I have the confidence to stand here and fight with my uncle." People turn hostility into friendship, how can they think you are meddlesome."

Chen Rong didn't want to talk too much with him here, so he casually told him to go back to the Yamen earlier, and left with Li Mu.

After Chen Rong, Li Mu and others left, Qi Yun strode forward, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Brother Liangchen, thank you for your generosity, Brother Liangchen!"

Jia Qiang stepped forward to help her up, and said: "I said, it's just a trivial matter. As expected, something happened to my elder brother Xue, and we only let your younger brother die. We won't implicate the Qi family for no reason. Brother De'ang really doesn't have to do that."

At this time, a famous doctor from Yangzhou was finally invited to treat Xue Pan and Qi Fu on the spot. Both of them only suffered some non-life-threatening injuries, and they were bedridden for a few days.

Looking at the noisy momentum around them, Jia Qiang looked at them as if watching a circus, Jia Qiang thought it was noisy, and said to Xu Zhen: "Look for a quiet place."

Xu Zhen hurriedly said: "Let's go back to Mingyuefang first, it's quieter there."

Jia Qiang nodded, ignored Third Master Liu's persuasion, and all the people turned back to Mingyuefang.

All the prostitutes in Pearl Court were amazed:

It seems that a raptor crossing the river really came to Yangzhou Prefecture!

……

Back at Mingyuefang, Jia Qiang saw that Xue Pan was depressed all the time, so she smiled in front of Qi Yun and the others: "Qi Fu, the little green skin, beat you, and now he has learned a lesson, just like you were injured. A bastard of half a child, let's kill him all over the house? I can't do that either."

Xue Pan didn't expect Jia Qiang to speak out what was on his mind, so he blushed in embarrassment, but still couldn't swallow the fuss, and cried out aggrievedly: "I didn't even provoke him, this ball is touched from behind. Come here and hit me hard, don’t let me get up, hit him hard with a stool, you just let the iron head hit him, let it go so easily?"

Jia Qiang waved her hand, and didn't let Qi Yun bow to apologize again, but smiled at Xue Pan, "Brother Xue, if you don't believe me, ask Tietou, he is the most sincere, is his stroke worse than Qi Fu's dozens of hits?" ruthless?"

Tie Tou grinned grimly from behind, and said, "Uncle Xue, I took care of your injury. He is too young, and his body is not strong enough, so he doesn't have the strength to hit people, and he doesn't have the strength to swing a few times." But mine was different. If I hadn’t seen Uncle Xue and you didn’t hurt the root, I would have smashed his brains out, at least smashed his skull. With the friendship between Uncle Xue and our master, I can still Let you suffer?"

Hearing this, Xue Pan squinted at Qi Fu who hadn't slowed down yet, seeing the boy trembling when he stared at him, he said cheerfully, "Do you know how powerful you are?" Qi Fu scolded his ancestors for eight generations...

Jia Qiang asked, "Are you still angry?"

Xue Pan snorted, and said: "Forget it, just treat it as if you met a mad dog halfway and got bitten for nothing."

Jia Qiang chuckled, and didn't say that he said something wrong, and said to Qi Yun, who was not very good-looking: "Since the bear child is ignorant and spoiled, it is not a bad thing to suffer a little bit. How is the situation today, brother De Ang, be careful." I understand clearly, and I’m not telling the truth, I don’t want to fight with others because I don’t have the lofty morals of Ban Shangong and the others, and I’m just a selfish person.”

Qi Yun hurriedly said: "Brother Liangchen is too modest. People like you are selfish. Is there still a fair person in the world?" He said that a heap of silver for service can also pile up a mountain of silver. I don’t want Banshan Gong to regard me as a thorn in my side and a thorn in my flesh! Doesn’t he know that before I waited for the salt merchants, the salt tax received by the imperial court every year was not enough for today? [-]%!"

Seeing that Qi Yun was so worried and angry, Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows and reminded: "Brother De'ang, don't blame Ban Shan Gong for this matter, he is the one who has no selfishness. It is true that you pay a lot of salt tax every year. Yu Guo’s contribution to the imperial court is also considered meritorious, but you have to understand, where did the money come from? These are the money that the common people in the world collected from eating high-priced salt, the real salt and blood money. Today’s salt tax policy, one layer after another There are too many officials at the upper level, and each of you must be filial, but the money of filial piety cannot be made by you for nothing, and it still falls on the common people in the end. Half monkeys have gone through counties, prefectures, and provinces, how can they not know the disadvantages here? Therefore, He is not afraid of the great interests behind him, and is ready to change the rules. In a sense, he has no flaws. Brother Deang, I advise you in private, it is best to persuade the Qi family not to block the change, otherwise no matter the forces behind you No matter how big it is, it’s hard to stop the general trend.”

The faces of Chen Cheng, Li Xiao, Peng Xiu and others who Qi Yun didn't understand all changed drastically, and Qi Yun said with a miserable expression: "According to Brother Liangchen, our clan of salt merchants has stepped into a desperate situation. Is there no power to return to heaven?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "These are all my personal guesses, but even if I don't say anything, in fact, each of you knows it in your heart... As for whether it is a desperate situation or not? I think it may not be the case."

Regardless of whether he believed Jia Qiang's words or not, at this moment Qi Yun asked sincerely, "Brother Liangchen, where is the way of life?"

Jia Qiang said: "If this topic continues, three days and three nights may not be enough. If Brother De'ang is really interested in listening to my nonsense, you can come to the Yanzheng Yamen to find me when you have free time in the future. Let's talk about it today. Another little thing, Xu Zhen..."

When Xu Zhen heard the roll call, he stood up straight and looked at Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Tell Brother De Ang what you and I have planned before. From now on, they will be your big customers!"
