Qu Yingzhe sighed. When the second prince met Jia Cong, it was like meeting his nemesis.
Yangzhou's officialdom was overthrown by Jia Cong, ruining the second prince's years of hard work.
Although the officials there are not very useful, they are still a force, aren't they? At least the second prince's wallet was guaranteed.
Just a few days after returning, he was targeting the Iron Blood Gang again.
The second prince is not only the backer of the Iron-Blooded Gang, he is also a force that he supports. He has hidden a group of people he secretly cultivated in the Iron-Blooded Gang to serve as the Iron-Blooded Gang's accomplices.
Not only will this not be noticed, but it will also retain a power around you that can be called upon at any critical moment.
However, he was accidentally hit by Jia Cong again, who was leading troops to encircle and suppress him.
This power was crucial to the second prince, and it was difficult to give it up, so he took the risk of sending troops to rescue him.
The second prince even wanted to get rid of Jia Cong in one fell swoop to relieve his hatred, but everyone underestimated Jia Cong's strength, and in the end, they ended up losing both his wife and his troops.
Everything was really going wrong during this period, and many good things were ruined by Jia Cong.
The anger in the second prince's heart could not be released, he was feeling aggrieved, and his work was clearly below his standards.
I saw it in my eyes, but I didn't know how to persuade him.
Jia Cong has risen very quickly and is very capable. He is truly a worthy man despite his great reputation. He has made great contributions to the country and is highly valued by His Majesty.
Rather than win over such people, we have to get rid of them. This decision is really incomprehensible.
Even if he can't bear the tone, he must bear it. When he ascends to the big position in the future, Jia Cong won't just deal with it casually, so why be in a hurry?
As the second prince's think tank, I couldn't let him make mistakes again and again.
"Your Highness, as they said, Ning Guogong's people are so powerful. A thousand of King Zhongshun's guests were burned to ashes in a fire. I heard that even a hundred soldiers in the capital did not take action. Ning Guogong was also in the city that night. .
Ning Guogong brought back two hundred soldiers, and one hundred stayed on Zhuangzi. It was probably those one hundred people who did it, which shows how powerful they were. This reminded me of the old slave's Bagara.
I remember that the old slave's 5,000 Bagara were invincible on the battlefield in Liaodong. They killed our Chu generals with fear. No one dared to challenge them. They could only rely on high walls and fortified cities to stop the barbarians. attack.
Even such a powerful person was killed by Jia Cong, and even beheaded the old slave, which became his achievement. Your Highness, Jia Cong is really not a simple person. We still have to put the overall situation first. After the matter was completed, Jia Cong was not at the mercy of His Highness. "
After hearing these words, the second prince also pondered in his mind.
It's not that he doesn't understand this truth, it's just that Jia Cong ruined his good deeds and is very angry.
A shrewd person like Jia Cong knows that he has ruined his own good deeds, so he probably won't be won over by him anymore, so as not to be settled by his future wife.
If you can get rid of a person who is destined to be your opponent as soon as possible, you will be able to get rid of a piece of your heart and vent your bad breath.
I just didn't expect that this Jia Cong was so powerful. It was really a bit sloppy.
After this incident, both sides have made their attitudes clear, and they will be enemies from now on.
It's really not a good thing to have such a powerful enemy looking around. With Jia Cong's consistent style, it's impossible to just take a beating without fighting back.
Just like this time, he clearly knew that it was his own men, so he did not spare any effort and killed them all.
This is really a difficult opponent, fierce and cunning.
"Mr. Qu, after this incident, we and Jia Cong have become enemies. With Jia Cong's shrewdness, he should have guessed that it was us. How should we respond next? What attitude should we adopt towards Jia Cong? ?”
Qu Yingzhe said: "Your Highness, it's better that we don't mess with Jia Cong as much as possible. We should put important things first. As Your Highness, Jia Cong doesn't dare to do anything to you. There is no need for us to waste time on Jia Cong. To do so is simply to put the cart before the horse.
What we have to do now is to consolidate our current power. While the new officials in Yangzhou take office, we will continue to win over them and bring them under our command to accumulate strength for the future.
Among the princes, His Highness is the strongest and most capable, and he is deeply loved by the Emperor. If nothing else happens, His Highness will be the one who holds the throne in the future. "
When the second prince heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and most of the unhappiness just now disappeared.
He was busy here and there not only for that seat, but he also felt that that seat belonged to him.
As long as I am here, the other brothers have no hope at all.
"Thank you, Mr. Qu, for your enlightenment. Jia Cong, please let him be arrogant for a few more years. When I succeed to the throne, I will be the first to deal with him."
······
At this time, Zeng Yuanping was leading his men to fight with the Iron Blood Gang.
I originally thought that I could wipe them out easily, but I didn't expect that this group of people would be so difficult to deal with. I relied on my strength in numbers and was able to barely draw a tie with them.
I was also a little confused, how could this group of people be so strong? Something was obviously wrong.
Although his men don't usually train much, they are more than enough to deal with the rabble of these gangs. These people are obviously not comparable to those rabble, and are even stronger than their own men.
Remembering that the Iron Blood Gang's backer was the Second Prince, I felt a little more worried. Could this be the Second Prince's men hiding here?
The more I thought about it, the more it seemed possible, and I smiled bitterly in my heart. This time I really stung a hornet's nest.
Just as he was about to leave, Jia Cong uttered a word, and a close confidant ran over.
"Commander, what's wrong, there's another group of people coming outside. It seems to be about the same number as us. The admiral personally led his people to kill them. What should we do?"
Zeng Yuanping was surprised when he heard this. What he was worried about still happened. What should he do?
There are only fifty or sixty people left around Jia Cong. If the other party really has more than five hundred people, how can they fight?
He raised his head and looked at the battlefield. He still had the advantage, but it was a bit difficult to kill people.
If everyone knows the situation outside, the soldiers on your side will definitely lose their fighting spirit, and the other side will definitely have high morale when they know that reinforcements are coming. In that case, the outcome will be difficult to predict.
Zeng Yuanping quietly came to the door and looked out. The scene outside made his eyes widen in an instant.
I saw Jia Cong and more than 60 of his men, rushing back and forth in the opponent's camp. Jia Cong rushed at the front. Every time he swung his sword, one person was cut down, and none of his men could defeat the enemy.
In just a moment, they fought back and forth and broke the enemy's line.
Then, he saw the enemy's rout, and Jia Cong led his men to cover up and kill them.
This scene made Zeng Yuanping stunned. They all said that Jia Cong was very powerful, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he didn't think much about it. But today's scene made him fully understand what a ferocious person is.
Jia Cong's reputation was indeed not blown out of proportion.
This Jia Cong is so powerful, even if he steps forward, he will probably be hacked to death with a knife.
Today, I finally saw the true strength of this Shangguan, who looked like a killing god.
The close confidant next to him was also shocked by this scene and murmured: "Oh my God, I never thought that our Lord Admiral could be so powerful and powerful. It's really eye-opening."
Zeng Yuanping said: "Okay, since the Admiral is fine, we must also hurry up and clean up the people inside. We can't let the Admiral feel that we are too useless."
Seeing that he no longer had any worries, Zeng Yuanping returned to the yard and launched a fierce attack on the members of the Iron Blood Gang.
"Brothers, if you want to make more money, come with me. If you don't do it, you won't have a chance."
After everyone heard this, they once again launched a fierce attack on the people of the Iron Blood Gang, and the battle became even more intense.
······
After killing the last enemy, Jia Cong returned with his team.
Seeing that the battle in the yard was not over yet, he led Li Biao and a group of soldiers to fight in.
Zeng Yuanping was overjoyed when he saw this and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the Admiral has personally brought people to support us, come with me to kill."
With the addition of this strong reinforcement, the people of the Iron Blood Gang were defeated step by step, and their numbers were also reduced sharply.
Jiang Chengzhi, the leader of the Iron Blood Gang, felt a chill in his heart when he saw this scene. He was really going to fall here today.
He also heard the shouts of killing outside, and felt happy knowing that it was the Second Prince who had sent reinforcements.
But before he was happy for a long time, he saw Jia Cong leading people in. It was obvious that the reinforcements outside had been destroyed, otherwise Jia Cong would not have been able to lead people in.
Watching the people around me fall one by one, with fewer and fewer people left, I knew that I was not immune.
Jiang Chengzhi shouted: "Ning Guogong, we are the second prince's people. Your behavior today will definitely be regretted in the future. The second prince will not let you go and will definitely avenge us."
Jia Cong sneered and said: "Gang Leader Jiang, I don't care who you are. Since you have colluded with human traffickers and violated the law, I will never let you go unpunished. I will chop off your head and tell all the gangs in the capital to let you go." They take you as a warning.
My Lord is devoted to the country and is loyal to His Majesty. Everything he does is for my sake. As for whether the second prince will avenge you, that is a matter for the future. At least you will never see him again. "
After hearing that Jia Cong said that he would show his head to the public, Jiang Chengzhi was filled with resentment and wished he could kill Jia Cong now.
"Ning Guo Gong, I heard that you are very powerful, but I am incompetent. I want to fight you in a duel. I would rather die in your hands. Does Ning Guo Gong dare to fight?"
Jia Cong smiled contemptuously and said, "Only you? You're not worthy of taking action against me, so you'd better go on your way with peace of mind. Brothers, work harder and send Gang Leader Jiang on his way. His head is worth a hundred taels of silver."
Under the leadership of Li Biao and others, the Iron Blood Gang was quickly eliminated.
Even Jiang Chengzhi, the leader of the Iron Blood Gang, was beheaded by Li Biao, ending the final battle.
Dai Quan ran over, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Seeing Ning Guogong's majesty today is really an eye-opener for our family. Ning Guogong's reputation is truly well-deserved. He is worthy of being the God of War of our great Chu. I admire you, I admire you."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Manager Dai has given me the reward. I am not worthy of the name of the God of War. The other party is just a bunch of rabble-rousers. They are vulnerable to a single blow."
Dai Quan thought to himself, even if the chickens and dogs were defeated by one against ten, that would be a big deal.
But they all were killed, and no one could be found if they wanted to obtain confessions.
"Ning Guo Gong, you were a little too harsh. You didn't even leave a single person alive. I can't even ask about the origins of these people."

Jia Cong said: "We know the origins of those people without asking. Even if we leave a few alive, we probably won't be able to tell anything.
If the Second Prince is left alive and the Second Prince is recruited, but His Majesty is in trouble, it would be better, just think of those people as members of the Iron-Blooded Gang. "
Dai Quan thought about it and realized that this was true.
After all, the second prince is His Majesty's biological son, and on the surface he is the most outstanding one. If Your Majesty knows what he has done, he will definitely be very disappointed, which will affect the relationship between father and son.
This Jia Cong is really thoughtful and devoted to His Majesty.
It's just that everything the second prince did showed his strong ambition, and he even wanted to silence himself. It was so vicious.
Your Majesty must know about this matter, so that he can be more wary of the second prince. Hmm, even if you want to kill me, I won't make it easy for you.
Since Jia Cong wants to be a good person, let's help him. He can just report it to the emperor alone. This can be regarded as selling Jia Cong's favor. Our family is also a loyal person.
"Ning Guogong is still thoughtful and considers everything for His Majesty. He is really thoughtful. Your Majesty will be very pleased to know Ning Guogong's painstaking efforts."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "The Second Prince has a special status. We can't afford to offend him, so we can only choose to settle the matter. Let's not talk about this anymore. Now is the time for us to harvest the spoils of war. Everything will be handled by General Lao Dai."
When Dai Quan heard this, he was also very happy.
It's finally time to reap the rewards. Today's shock cannot be in vain. I must make a big profit later to calm myself down.
Thinking of this, Dai Quan laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Ning Guo, our family is not a solitary eater. We will definitely have Mr. Ning Guo's share. Just think of it as a shock for us."
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Everything is entirely up to Manager Dai."
With a look of joy on his face, Dai Quan led a few young eunuchs, commanded everyone, and began to count the property and supplies of the Iron Blood Gang.
Later, Jia Cong arranged for people to seal up all the brothels, casinos, restaurants, shops and other properties of the Iron Blood Gang. Dai Quan also sent out the young eunuchs around him to follow them to count the accounts and assets.
This Iron Blood Gang is one of the most prominent gangs in the capital. It is larger than the Sands Gang and has many more properties. It took everyone a long time to complete the inventory.
The amount of money seized this time was not very large. The total amount was only more than 600,000 taels.
But the shops, land deeds, and properties everywhere are also worth a lot of money, but they just take time to process.
Dai Quan saw that he only had so much money, which was more than half less than when Jia Cong ransacked his house. He couldn't help but be a little confused and went to Jia Cong to ask.
"Ning Guogong, this gang is quite big. Why do they only have so little money? It must be at least more than one million taels."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Manager Dai, it's just the New Year, and some businesses have just opened. Naturally, we don't have much money. The money we earned before the year should be divided and given away at the end of the year. There aren’t many left, so it would be nice to have these.”
Dai Quan thought about it and found the same reason.
It's just that it's hard to get started with the money, and it's hard to explain to Your Majesty.
In the end, the two of them discussed it, and each took one hundred thousand taels, and another 50,000 taels were distributed to the soldiers who ransacked the house together. Everyone was happy.
Dai Quan re-copied a property list, signed his names with Jia Cong, and took the seized gold and silver to the palace to report to Emperor Longqing.
