"hiss······"
After hearing Jia Cong's words, both Cui Shiming and the surrounding government officials took a deep breath.
This is to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. Isn't Duke Ning Guo too cruel?
Thinking that Xu Huanwen led troops to intercept and kill Ning Guogong, which was a big enemy, Ning Guogong did not go too far, but it was a pity that the whole family had to suffer the consequences.
Cui Shiming wanted to intercede, but he couldn't.
Thinking of how Jia Cong was murderous and came to ask him to accuse him, he gave up the idea. He was a little afraid, fearing that Jia Cong would anger him, and then the gains would outweigh the losses.
Hey, if you are a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist, you can only wrong the Xu family. Who wants Xu Huanwen to seek death on his own? He cannot rely on others for this matter.
Cui Shiming cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Ning Guo. I will give my subordinates full assistance and we will never let anyone in the Xu family rebel and escape."
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Find a few people to take me to Xu's house."
Cui Shiming did not dare to neglect, and arranged for several arrests and some government officials to take Jia Cong to the Xu family compound.
After a while, he arrived in front of Xu's house.
This is a large courtyard with five entrances. It looks luxurious and majestic. You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary home.
Jia Cong arranged for several people to guard the surrounding intersections, and then with a wave of his hand, he ordered Li Biao to lead people to break down the door and enter.
With a "bang", the door was knocked open by the soldiers, and everyone rushed in quickly.
"Who are you? You dare to break into Xu Mansion without permission. Don't you know that my lord is the general manager of Xuzhou Camp?"
When several servants saw the intruders, they quickly stepped forward to stop them and scolded them angrily.
Li Biao shouted: "Xu Huanwen led troops to intercept and kill Ning Guogong without authorization, which is tantamount to rebellion. On the order of Ning Guogong, he searched the Xu family, killed the remaining villains, and eliminated the rebellion. Kill me."
As soon as Li Biao finished speaking, the soldiers behind him quickly rushed forward.
"Puff, puff..."
With a few muffled sounds, the long knife in his hand pierced the bodies of several servants.
Accompanied by screams of "Ah, ah...", several people fell to the ground and became silent.
In just the blink of an eye, the people in the front yard were dealt with, and then everyone rushed to the backyard.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of chickens and dogs, howls of ghosts, screams, begging for mercy, cries, and curses, one after another, one after another, endless.
Jia Cong said to Lin Daiyu beside him: "Let's go in and take a look. If something happens to me in the future, my family won't be much better than them. It's better for you to see it in advance."
Lin Daiyu nodded but did not speak. It could be seen that she was very depressed.
Several people entered the yard and saw corpses lying on the ground scattered all over the ground. Bright red blood was flowing out from the corpses, covering the ground.
Hearing the cries, screams, and angry curses in the backyard, Lin Daiyu bit her lip hard.
Slowly walking towards the backyard, the sounds inside slowly decreased until they disappeared.
When a few people walked into the backyard, there were no more cries. There were only corpses on the ground, as well as a group of relatives and government officials who were rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house in search of belongings.
Seeing the tragic situation in the backyard, Lin Daiyu shrank slightly and couldn't calm down for a while.
This is to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. No one, no matter the man, woman, age or child is left alive. It is really too tragic to eradicate the roots without leaving any future troubles. No wonder Brother Cong doesn’t want me to see him.
Thinking of Jia Cong's words, I secretly swore in my heart that this kind of thing would never happen in my own family.
Turning to look at Jia Cong, he said firmly: "Brother Cong, I understand you a little now. Don't worry, my sister will definitely stand by your side to support you. I will never let you face it alone. I We will never allow such a thing to happen in our family."
After listening to Lin Daiyu's words, Jia Cong was slightly moved.
Lin Daiyu is very satisfied if she can have this kind of heart, but she doesn't want her to take risks with her.
By then it will be enough to be able to take care of the back house, manage everyone well, and not let yourself be distracted by things at home.
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. As long as I'm here, this kind of thing will never happen in our home, and no one can break into our home."
Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "I believe brother Cong, you will definitely do it."
After thinking for a while, he suddenly spoke again: "Brother Cong, the second prince sent people to kill you this time. Although he failed, he probably won't let it go. If you kill the people he sent, will it be even worse?" Did you anger him?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Since we have already broken up, the second prince will naturally not let it go. I will report today's matter to Your Majesty. The second prince will probably be in trouble. There should be no chance to trouble me again in the short term."
Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, don't take it lightly. You have to be more careful in the future. So many of our sisters are still counting on you. You must not have anything happen to you, otherwise my sister will not survive."
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, Sister Lin, I will be careful. I haven't married you yet, and I can't bear to leave you. I'm still looking forward to entering the bridal chamber with you."
Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes at Jia Cong. This man was really unruly. She was talking about business with him, but she got involved in this matter again.
After this mess, I felt a lot better.
Seeing the Xu family's gold and silver being carried into the yard softly, I couldn't help but feel a twitch in my heart.
I remember that when he was in Yangzhou that year, Brother Cong raided four salt merchants, more than ten local gentry houses in Jinling, and several gangs in the capital. Why did he like to raid homes so much?
By the way, when he was nine years old, he ransacked the Lai family and made a lot of money himself. From then on, he started to make money.
I heard Shi Xiangyun say that when he was ten years old, on the Lantern Festival, he also raided a small gang and made a lot of money.
Brother Cong didn’t make his fortune by confiscating his property, right? No wonder they raid homes at every turn.
Thinking of this, he turned around and looked Jia Cong up and down.
Jia Cong was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "What are you looking at? Don't you recognize me? Or do you like me more and more the more you look at me? Your eyes are glued to me and I can't bear to take my eyes away. Are you fascinated by my brother?" ”
Lin Daiyu smiled and spat: "Bah, stinky, shameless, shameless."
Next to them, Chunlan, Xia Zhu, Zijuan and Erya couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Brother Cong, why do I think you like to raid homes so much?"
Jia Cong sighed and said: "Hey, I don't want to, but they always provoke me. They force me to do this. I have no choice. If I don't want to leave any trouble, I can only be ruthless and ransack my house." ”
At this time, Cui Shiming also rushed over with people, and the government servants around him also detained five or six people.
When he came to Jia Cong's side, he cupped his hands and said: "Ning Guogong, these people are also from the Xu family. They happened to be outside and did not go home. After getting the news, they wanted to escape from the city. They were captured by my men and handed over. Let Ning Guogong deal with it."
Jia Cong said: "Don't go to so much trouble, just chop them down."
Cui Shiming smiled coquettishly and did not answer, and the government officials did not move either.
The Xu family members were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Sir, spare our lives. We are all honest and good citizens. We have not done anything bad. Please spare our lives."
Jia Cong glanced at all the government officials, smiled slightly and said: "A head is worth ten taels of silver to whoever cuts it off. If you don't want to make money, I will let my people take action."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of "Puff, puff, puff...", which was the sound of a knife piercing the body.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
Then there was a series of screams, one after another, and within a moment, all the people had their heads cut off.
This speed was really fast, and the power of this silver was so great that Lin Daiyu and others were dumbfounded.
Several people came to Jia Cong with their heads, cupped their hands and said: "Ning Guogong, several rebellious Xu family members have been killed. Please accept it."
Looking at the five people in front of him, Jia Cong smiled and said: "You have done a good job. I keep my word. Each person has ten taels of silver. Chunlan will take them to get the silver."
The five people were overjoyed when they heard this. This money must have been so profitable. They said happily: "Thank you, Lord Ning, for the reward."
Jia Cong said: "No need to be polite, just go in and get the money."
Chunlan said: "You guys come with me."
He led them to a pile of silver and asked each of them to take ten taels of silver. The five of them happily returned to the team. The other companions looked at the few with envy, their hearts full of envy and annoyance.
If only I had reacted faster, then the money would be my own. This is more than half a year's salary, which would be cheaper than those bastards.
This Ning Guogong really kept his word. I thought he was lying.
Such a good opportunity was right in front of me, but I didn't seize it. It was really annoying.
Seeing the reactions of all the government officials, Jia Cong said again: "You guys can also help go in and search the house. Clean out the items as soon as possible so that we can finish the work early. If you do well, you will be rewarded."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Cui Shiming could say anything, the group of government servants cheered and all ran in.
Cui Shiming smiled bitterly and said, "These bastards are so worthless. Mr. Ning Guo, please don't laugh at them."
Jia Cong smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter. Now that we've caught up, let them get some help. Everyone who participated in today's action will receive ten taels of silver for their hard work. Mr. Cui, please arrange a few people to help with the statistics." Randomly confiscated the proceeds from the house."
Cui Shiming nodded and said: "I will go and make arrangements now."
An hour later, everyone gathered up and left, returning to the Xuzhou government office.
The property obtained from the house raid this time included more than 300,000 taels of silver alone, as well as a small amount of various properties, real estate, materials, etc.
In addition to rewarding everyone with ten taels of silver each, Li Biao, Chunlan, Xia Zhu, and several accountants, catchers and others under Cui Shiming also received one hundred taels each.
Lin Daiyu, Zijuan, and Erya each took one hundred taels, and they were all happy.
Apart from this, Jia Cong did not reach out again, but handed all the money and supplies to Cui Shiming. He would report it to the court, and he didn't care how to deal with it.
After handing over, he said goodbye to Cui Shiming, prepared to leave Xuzhou City, and returned to his boat.
Cui Shiming winked at the master next to him. The master nodded knowingly, turned around and went down. After a while, he came over with a small box and handed it to Cui Shiming.
Cui Shiming said with a smile: "Xu Huanwen led people to attack Ning Guogong, which shocked Ning Guogong. Although the subordinates did not know it beforehand, they could not escape the responsibility of oversight. Fortunately, Ning Guogong was brave and invincible, and defeated Xu Huanwen's rebels without causing any trouble. disaster.
This time, I have disturbed Duke Ning Guo and Gui Family Juan. I really feel guilty. I am just a little considerate. Even if I have shocked Duke Ning Guo and Gui Family Juan, I still hope that Duke Ning Guo will accept it. "
With that said, he handed the small box in his hand to Jia Cong.
Jia Cong glanced at the small box, thought for a moment, and then reached out to take it.
When he opened it, he found a thick pile of silver notes inside. The thickness was at least about one hundred thousand taels. Under the silver notes, there were all exquisite jewelry, sparkling with jewels. At first glance, they were not ordinary goods.
This old boy is quite willing to give up, probably because he is afraid of offending him, but he is also a good person.
If that's the case, then accept it, it will also make him feel at ease.
He closed the box in his hand, handed it to Lin Daiyu next to him, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, take it as pocket money."
Lin Daiyu nodded and took it, handing it to Zijuan next to her without looking at it.
Jia Cong turned his head and said to Cui Shiming: "Master Cui is too polite. Since it is Master Cui's intention, I am disrespectful. Since Master Cui did not know about this matter in advance, it naturally has nothing to do with you. I Your Majesty will be informed at the meeting and the matter will be explained clearly, so Mr. Cui doesn’t have to worry.”
After hearing Jia Cong's words, Cui Shiming took a deep breath and felt completely relieved.
If you really want to care about it, you have to take responsibility for this matter.
With Jia Cong's words and my own filial piety, I don't have to worry about Jia Cong suing me, and I don't have to worry about Jia Cong taking revenge on me. This can be considered a loss of money and avoidance of disaster.
Cui Shiming said with a smile: "Listen to what Ning Guogong said, I can rest assured. Next time Ning Guogong passes by Xuzhou, he will also invite Xuzhou as a guest."
Jia Cong nodded slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Farewell, if I have the chance, I'll definitely come and bother you."
After saying that, he stopped talking nonsense, turned around, and strode away.
When he came outside, he got on his horse and led the crowd to gallop away.
Seeing Jia Cong and others disappear from sight, Cui Shiming turned around and returned to the Yamen with a complicated expression.
The master next to me said with a puzzled look on his face: "My lord, although Ning Guogong has a respected position, he can't control me. Why do you need to accommodate him like this? And spend so much money?"
Cui Shiming shook his head and said: "Xu Huanwen is the general manager of our Xuzhou camp after all, and his actions represent our Xuzhou. If he came to intercept and kill Ning Guogong, we can't escape our involvement.
Ning Guo Gong was suddenly attacked, and I was furious. If I had not lowered my profile and offended Ning Guo Gong, I would have been killed. You have also seen the fate of the Xu family. Kill them all, leaving no chickens or dogs behind. Too much Cruel.
Although the things we gave were quite a lot, they were nothing in Ning Guogong's eyes. He was the real rich man, and if he could accept them, it would be a favor to us. "
