Jia Cong's words made Bai Ruosong feel like she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Looking at Jia Cong in shock, how did he know? Ordinarily, it is impossible for him to know, could it be Yun Yi?
Yun Yi died unexpectedly, and he also went to see it. Although he was a little confused, he didn't think too much about it.
Now that I think about it, it probably has something to do with this Jia Cong.
Yun Yi knew the most about poisoning Lin Ruhai. If it really fell into the hands of Jia Cong, he might have known about it. However, Yun Yi's death turned out to be a death without evidence.
Jia Cong's momentary negligence actually helped him a lot.
Thinking of this, he suddenly calmed down.
"Ning Guogong, please don't slander people and accuse good people without any evidence. Do you really think that this is the sacred city? This is Yangzhou. This is not a place for you to run wild. You'd better be careful in what you say and do."
Jia Cong smiled contemptuously and waved his hand. Two guards immediately rushed forward, pushed Bai Ruosong to the ground and tied him up.
Bai Ruosong has been praised and respected by others since he was a child. He has never suffered such humiliation.
Today, not only was he beaten black and blue, he was also pushed to the ground, rubbed, and even tied up. This was a great shame and humiliation for him.
Anger surged up for a moment, and he said angrily: "Jia Cong, I'm from the Bai family. How dare you do this to me? Do you believe that I made you unable to leave Yangzhou City?"
Jia Cong hates being threatened the most, let alone an ant-like figure.
He walked forward, raised his foot and stepped on Bai Ruosong's head on the ground.
He said coldly: "Although this is Yangzhou City, it is also my Da Chu's Yangzhou City and your Majesty's Yangzhou City, but it is not your Bai family's Yangzhou City.
You're just a salt merchant with two bad guys. Do you really think that Yangzhou is your world? Just because you threatened me just now, I can take your head off. "
Bai Ruosong's face was stepped on by Jia Cong, unable to break free.
At this moment, he knew what it meant to be powerless and what it meant to be a prisoner. For a moment, he was shocked, angry, hateful, afraid, and humiliated. He was so angry that he fainted.
Li Biao reminded: "Sir, this guy fainted from fright."
Jia Cong raised his foot and kicked it twice. Sure enough, there was no movement. He shook his head and said, "That's it? How dare you threaten your own prince with such virtue?"
The men brought by Bai Ruosong all lay on the ground pretending to be dead, not even daring to fart.
Ruyan and the Madam were even more stunned.
Bai Ruosong from the Bai family has a great reputation in Yangzhou. At least in their eyes, he is a big shot who cannot afford to offend, and he is the top group of people in Yangzhou.
But in the hands of Ning Guogong, it turned out to be so unbearable, which was really shocking.
He looked at Jia Cong with even more awe.
This style of conduct is worthy of being a victorious general.
Jia Cong turned around and said, "Ruyan, you stay here for a few days. I will pick you up after I find a house. If anyone comes looking for trouble, tell them directly that you are from my Duke Ning. If you dare to act arrogantly, Bai Ruosong And the Bai family, this is their fate."
Ruyan said obediently: "I understand, sir, I'm waiting for you to pick me up."
….
Jia Cong nodded and said to the old madam: "Let Ruyan stay with you for a few days and take care of it for me. If something goes wrong, I will demolish your Miaoyin Pavilion."
The old madam said quickly: "Don't worry, Mr. Ning Guo, I will definitely take good care of Miss Ruyan and nothing will go wrong."
Now that Bai Ruosong has bumped into him and fallen into his hands, he can no longer let him go.
But this also disrupted my plan and I had to act in advance.
Jia Cong led people back to Xunyan Yamen, and Lin Zhong greeted him.
"My lord, an angel has come to the mansion to deliver a message to my lord. My lord, please go to the front hall first."
Jia Cong asked: "Steward Lin, who is here?"
Lin Zhongdao: "The country
Father-in-law, here comes a father-in-law with a team of royal guards. "
Jia Cong nodded and followed Lin Zhong to the front hall. He saw that he was an acquaintance, Dai Quan's godson, Little Eunuch Li.
Seeing Jia Cong come in, young Eunuch Li quickly stood up, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I have met Duke Ning Guo, and this time I came specifically to deliver the order to Duke Ning. I think Ning Guo Gong is ready to receive the order."
Jia Cong said: "Thank you, little Eunuch Li."
Under Lin Zhong's arrangement, the eucalyptus was quickly placed.
Jia Cong knelt at the front, others knelt behind, and Xiao Lizi stood in front holding the imperial edict.
"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict said:
The Salt Gang acted daringly and without the king's laws. They looted official silver, which was tantamount to rebellion and must be severely punished. As a warning to others, Ning Guo Gong Jia Cong was ordered to lead troops to annihilate the Salt Gang bandits, shock Xiaoxiao, and declare the power of our country.
Local officials and garrison troops are not allowed to interfere or obstruct, and those who disobey orders will be punished with the same crime.
Admire this! "
Jia Cong said respectfully: "My lord, Jia Cong, please accept the decree. Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Xiao Lizi stepped forward, helped Jia Cong up, and said with a smile: "Please get up quickly, Duke Ning. Duke Ning must be more careful about begging for thieves."
Jia Cong stood up, took the imperial edict, and handed a banknote to little Eunuch Li, which made the little eunuch smile even more.
"Little Eunuch Li has come a long way. He's had a hard time all the way. Butler Lin, please hurry up and put some wine on the table to take care of little Eunuch Li."
The young eunuch smiled and said, "Ning Guo Gong is so polite. When I came, my godfather asked me to send a message to Ning Guo Gong. Your Majesty did not send troops this time and let Ning Guo Gong handle it on his own."
Jia Cong pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, please tell your majesty, Eunuch Li, that I will definitely wipe out the salt gang, eliminate the banditry, and fulfill your majesty's mission."
Eunuch Xiao Li did not leave immediately. He came from the capital and the journey was quite tiring. Jia Cong arranged for him to stay in the Yamen.
At the same time, the news that an imperial envoy went to inspect the salt yamen was quickly spread by the spies to the major salt merchants.
The news that Bai Ruosong of the Bai family was captured by Ning Guo Gong Jia Cong also spread. The Bai family quickly got the news and were gathering together to discuss countermeasures.
Bai Yongxing, the head of the Bai family, frowned and asked, "Why is Ruosong so unwise? He actually went to trouble Ning Guogong for a woman. It seems that all the smooth sailings in the past few years have forgotten him.
I don’t even remember the simple truth that the people should not fight against the officials.
….
Ning Guogong not only has a respected status, but is also a knight for his military merits. He is a true general who commands the army with every sword and spear. Such a person is not comparable to those ordinary officials. "
Bai Yongxiang said: "Brother, I heard from people around Ruosong that last night, Mr. Zhen's cronies came to see Ruosong. This matter is probably related to Mr. Zhen. But I heard that Ruyan was always Zhen Er. I’m protecting you.”
Bai Yongxing snorted coldly and said, "What does Zhen Yingli mean? His Zhen family and Jia family are relatives. Since they gave the woman away, and then let Ruosong run out to cause trouble, he is trying to stir up trouble."
Bai Yongxiang asked doubtfully: "Brother, what you mean is that Zhen Yingli is using Ruosong to stir up a dispute between Jia Cong and my Bai family? What good does this do to him?"
Bai Yongxing said: "How did I know this? This guy Zhen Yingli has no bottom line in what he does. If my guess is correct, this guy must be unhappy with Jia Cong. He is reluctant to do anything because of his relatives' favor. He wants our Bai family, or Yangzhou Salt Shang, teach Jia Cong a lesson."
Bai Yongxiang said: "Then what should we do? Is Ruosong still in Jia Cong's hands now? We have to get him out quickly."
Bai Yongxing pondered for a while and said, "Jia Cong has no interest entanglement with us. We don't need to provoke Jia Cong or find an enemy for ourselves. It's just to satisfy ourselves.
It's not a big deal to be jealous. Jia Cong probably won't do anything to Wakamatsu. It would be good to let Wakamatsu learn a lesson, so that he doesn't know that the sky is high and the sky is high, and he becomes a chess piece for others in vain. "
Bai Yongxiang said: "What should we do if Ruosong? We just don't care?"
Bai Yong
Xingdao: "Of course you can't ignore it. You take 50,000 taels of silver and go to Jia Cong and tell him that Ruosong is young and ignorant and has been deceived. Tell him not to remember the faults of villains and to be more relaxed."
At the same time, tell Jia Cong about Zhen Yingli and let them fight on their own. "
Bai Yongxiang smiled and said: "Brother has an idea. Not only did we sell it to Jia Cong, but we also gave him a lot of money. Naturally, Ruosong will not be embarrassed. I will go find Jia Cong later."
······
Jia Cong looked at the imperial edict in his hand and began to make calculations.
There are a lot of people in the Salt Gang, and most of them are bitter people. There are only a small number of really vicious people.
If they were all wiped out, it would be impossible.
It was impossible for Jia Cong to do that. After all, most people were just trying to make a living and did not participate in robbing official money. Almost all the gang members who were robbing official money were killed by Jia Cong.
They also sent Qingwen to lead people to assassinate the top leaders of the Salt Gang. As long as Qingwen succeeded, this mission would be considered over.
However, since the emperor gave himself an imperial edict and asked him to be responsible for annihilating the Salt Gang, Emperor Longqing would definitely not be satisfied with this. After annihilating the Salt Gang, the seizure must be handed over.
As for Qingwen's dozen or so people, no matter how much they capture, they can't bring them back. There is almost no loot to speak of, so how can they hand it over.
It seems that I have to go to Jinling again. Even if it is to deliver an errand to the emperor, I must go there in person.
Since Zhen Yingjia had come to find him, it was better to negotiate with him to resolve the matter, just as a favor to him.
….
He immediately wrote a letter telling Zhen Yingjia that the emperor had assigned him the responsibility of wiping out the Salt Gang. He could give him face and let the Salt Gang out, but he had to let himself do the job.
After thinking about it, I added another sentence at the end.
'Brother Zhen, how come Ruyan's body deed is in Bai Ruosong's hands? What do you mean? ,
He sealed the letter and sent a soldier to deliver it to Jinling in person.
After he finished delivering the letter, he went to the old house of Ningguofu in Jinling and notified the steward responsible for guarding the old house, asking him to clean up the old house and go back to live there for a while.
Just after sending away the soldiers, Li Biao walked in.
"Master Guo, someone from the Bai family has submitted a message to pay homage to Duke Guo. Do you want to see him or not?"
Jia Cong was stunned when he heard this. This happened so quickly. It seemed that the Bai family still cared about Bai Ruosong.
The Bai family will never let it go, and Bai Ruosong is even less likely to let it go.
But in order to paralyze them, let’s meet them.
"Li Biao, who is here?"
Li Biao said: "As for the young master who returned home, it was Bai Yongxiang, the second master of the Bai family, and he brought many gifts."
Jia Cong said: "Since he is here, let's meet him. Bring him to the study to meet me."
"Yes, my subordinate, go and bring him in right now."
Not long after Li Biao left, he brought Bai Yongxiang in.
"Bai Yongxiang, the villain, pays homage to Duke Ning Guo."
Jia Cong stood up with a smile and said, "Second Master Bai is here. I'm so far away to greet you. Please take a seat quickly."
Bai Yongxiang said with a smile on his face: "I have long heard that Ning Guogong was a young hero. He defeated the barbarians in Liaodong and threw off his armor to show off the prestige of our great Chu country. Today I saw him and his reputation is indeed well-deserved."
Jia Cong burst out laughing and said, "You're so grateful, Mr. Bai. As a soldier, it's your duty to defend the country and its borders. It's not worth mentioning."
Bai Yongxiang praised: "Ning Guogong is in a high position, but he is so humble, which is really admirable. Although my nephew is older, he always makes people worry-free when doing things.
This time I was instigated to cause trouble to Duke Ning Guo. When my brother found out, he was very angry and asked me to come and apologize to Duke Ning. This is the Bai family's intention, and I hope Duke Ning will accept it. "
As he spoke, he pushed a gift list and a stack of banknotes in front of Jia Cong.
Jia Cong glanced at the list and the pile of banknotes. They were really young and old. They were worthy of being the Bai family of the eight major salt merchants. They were very wealthy.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "How embarrassing is this? It cost Mr. Bai a lot of money. It's just a small misunderstanding between my nephew and I. It will be fine if we let it go. I will let him go home to reunite with you tomorrow."
When Bai Yongxiang heard this, he smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Guo. This was all done by the second master of the Zhen family, Ruosong. I heard that your two families are still close relatives. But the second master of the Zhen family should not do this." Already."
Jia Cong said: "I also asked the people in Miaoyin Pavilion and found out that it was Brother Zhen who did it. I'm still a little confused. This is the first time I've met him and I haven't offended him. I don't know why. What do you mean? I have to go find him and ask him another day."
Bai Yongxiang secretly smiled in his heart. This Ning Guogong was really direct. He was worthy of being a soldier and he didn't know how to beat around the bush.
"Don't you know, Mr. Ning Guo? Ruyan is the person that the second master of the Zhen family likes. He has already spread the word and prevents others from touching Ruyan. You have taken the lead. You must feel uncomfortable. That's why he thought of giving it to you." You add some trouble."
Jia Cong suddenly said: "So that's it? Let me tell you, this guy is a bit stingy. I will have to talk to him some other time."
Bai Yongxiang saw that the purpose of his trip had been achieved, so he didn't stay any longer and said goodbye and left.
Li Biao said: "My lord, are you really planning to let Bai Rusong go?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "When did I say that I would let Bai Ruosong go? I just said that he would go home and be reunited tomorrow. When it gets dark, you will take someone to clear out all the spies in the area for me." Clean.
In addition, inform Tiezhu that he will act tonight and be the first to kill the Bai family and reunite Bai Ruosong and his family. Since you have promised to others, you cannot break your promise. Then the Li family and the Zhang family will try to do it all in one night. "
Li Biao cupped his fists and said, "Yes, I will obey."
