"Brother Qiang is back!"

In the afternoon, Jia Qiang and Li Jing just entered the Yanyuan gate and were greeted by a middle-aged man in official uniform with a smile.

Jia Qiang knew that this man was Lin Ruhai's trusted general, ranked second in the Yanyuan Yamen. The censor Chen Rong, whose pseudonym was Mianren, was in charge of the daily affairs of the Yanyuan. He was a Jinshi in the fifteenth year of Jingchu and had a close personal relationship with Lin Ruhai.

good.

When Jia Qiang heard this, she bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Chen."

Chen Rong chuckled and said: "In terms of seniority, you have to call me ancestor. However, since the master has accepted you as a registered disciple, you can erase a whole generation. Just call me uncle."

Jia Qiang knew that she was good at everything, so she called out in an obedient manner: "Uncle."

Chen Rong nodded and smiled and then said: "I waited for you here on purpose on purpose. I heard that I met a disgusting bastard outside today?"

Jia Qiang's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this, and she was surprised and said to Chen Rong: "Master, uncle, you know now?"

Chen Rong chuckled and said: "Yangzhou City is big even if it is small. Zhangyuan has been in poor health a few days ago, so people outside are keeping a close eye on Yanyuan. It's just that the Yanyuan Yamen is blocked and there is no way for people to wander around.

What's the news? You are a relative of the head of the court from the Duke's Mansion in Jingli. When they hear the news, they will naturally keep a closer eye on you."

Jia Qiang "suddenly understood", and then smiled and said: "I don't think it took more than two hours, how could my family know about it... But uncle, don't worry, they are just a few green-skinned thieves, I have already dismissed them casually."

After hearing this, Chen Rong looked Jia Qiang up and down, and said with emotion: "After all, after Wu Xun, the tiger and leopard's horse, although it has not been written down, has the spirit of eating cattle. The Jia family has the only two of the four kings and eight princes in the founding of the country. The country's

The tripod pillar is the honor of the country, and the president will always remember it with me."

After Jia Qiang thanked her solemnly, she thought about this person's intention in her heart.

If it was just to express condolences, why would a censor whose current power is comparable to that of the governor of Jiangsu be waiting for him here?

I'm afraid that's not the case. The drunkard's intention is not in the bar?

As expected, after only a brief pause, Chen Rong introduced the topic and said with a smile: "Brother Qiang, as soon as you left Dongguan Street, news about what happened today spread. Then the leader of the Qinghe Gang learned about you.

After arriving, he was so frightened that he almost threw himself into a trap. He had some connections with the Feng family, a prominent family in Yangzhou Prefecture. He was originally a disciple of the Feng family's outer branch. Because his parents died early, he was raised under the master's family... In the past thirty or forty years,

The Feng family has been responsible for the military affairs of Yangzhou Prefecture for many generations. They are in charge of military affairs, strong people, military examinations, public security and other matters. They are serious and powerful people. However, the head of the Feng family, Feng Jian and Feng Xixian, is a famous figure in Yangzhou.

There is a bit of friendship. I heard from the headmaster that you wanted to do something in Jiangnan, so after the Feng family came to ask for help, I did not refuse directly, but kept it in mind. If you are willing, you can go to Tianhai Pavilion in the evening.

The head of the Feng family will hold a banquet to apologize to you. If something happens to you in the future, it will be a good thing for someone in the local area to help you. If you ask, the Feng family will never dare to shirk the blame..."

Even though he had reached this point, Jia Qiang still shook her head and said: "Of course I understand Uncle Master's good intentions. It's just that the Qinghe Gang of the Feng family has too dark roots and their actions are too bastard. Although I don't dare to call myself a gentleman, I still

I really don’t want to have anything to do with a family like this that is setting up a trap to ruin other people’s lives. Uncle Master, I can’t bear your kindness..."

He is not Bao Qingtian. In his previous life, he was just a small screw in socialism. Others can knock it and twist it if they want. It is difficult to protect yourself, so he does not have a great ambition to save people in need. However, it is enough to be alone.

Bottom line.

Jia Qiang did not dare to call herself a gentleman, nor did she want to be a gentleman, but she did and did not do anything.

Not to mention that the Feng family owed him a favor, even if the young and old of the Feng family worked as his pawns and called him daddy, he could only despise him.

Chen Rong was obviously a little surprised when he heard this. Maybe he was surprised that a person who was rumored to be "flattery" could have such character, or maybe he was surprised that Jia Qiang would reject him...

However, Chen Rong still laughed and said: "It's just a Qinghe Gang, it's two different things from the Feng family. If you don't like it, just ask the Feng family to clean it up. I also told Feng Xixian that those harmful things should be gone long ago.

It’s time to exist. Brother Qiang, don’t worry, whoever harms someone will go to jail, whoever hurts someone’s life will die. Not to mention you, even Feng Jian, the head of the Feng family, has been dissatisfied with the Qinghe Gang for a long time.

I just haven't had time to pay attention to it...Brother Qiang, the Feng family is mainly worried that your father-in-law's temper will rise, causing the Feng family to suffer disaster and implicate innocent people. So when you come to me, you are groveling. I really

It's hard to shirk it, so I have to ask you to give me some respect. I dare not say anything else, but Feng Jian, the head of the Feng family, is an upright man, and my uncle can guarantee you this."

As the saying goes: The county magistrate who ruins the family is the governor who destroys the family.

With the foundation of the Feng family, they are naturally not afraid of county magistrates and ordinary prefects, but Yanyuan Yamen is not a county government Yamen.

The Yanyuan Yamen is in charge of the highest salt affairs in Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers, and the censor in charge is the first-class confidant of the emperor. Although he is only a third-rank official, he can still keep up with the governor of Liangjiang.

Not to mention the rumor that Jia Qiang is a descendant of the prince who came from the sacred city, which makes her even more powerful.

With his foundation, as long as he persuades Lin Ruhai, he really wants to move the Feng family. Although the Feng family has been in Yangzhou for decades and has deep roots, it is difficult to preserve it.

Lin Ruhai is not a weak official with gentle methods...

If one member of the Qinghe Gang is sacrificed, the Feng family will not be implicated, and the Feng family will be able to take care of things on their own without the need for the government to take action.

After setting this tone and sentencing the Qinghe Gang to death, Jia Qiang's expression softened a lot. After thinking about it for a while, she nodded slowly and said: "Since my uncle has said so, it is understandable. And my uncle said that the head of the Feng family is

I am an upright man, so I don’t have to believe what others say, but I have no reason not to believe what my uncle says. It’s not necessary just to attend the banquet. I can just tell my uncle to the Feng family, and I won’t disturb my great-aunt and father-in-law about this matter."

This was of course just a scene, and it was all meant to give Chen Rong some dignity.

As for the Feng family, Jia Qiang had already blacklisted them in her heart.

Who would believe that the Feng family had no idea what happened to the Qinghe Gang?

It's just that he is not the Grand Master of Yangzhou Prefecture, Qingtian. Rather than asking for mercy from him, Chen Rong is more concerned with protecting his dignity.

Otherwise, tell Lin Ruhai directly about this trivial matter, and Lin Ruhai will not fail to give Chen Rong, a confidant, this little face.

When Chen Rong saw that Jia Qiang came from a noble family and had been praised three times by the Supreme Emperor, he thought he was extremely arrogant and difficult to deal with. He didn't expect that Jia Qiang was so easy to talk to. He became happy and said with a smile: "No wonder the Master likes you so much.

Brother Qiang is indeed different from ordinary noble family members. There is no arrogance or extravagance in him... But Brother Qiang, although I have some friendship with the head of the Feng family, you and I are our own family members. Over the years, the headmaster has treated

I have taught a lot, both as a teacher and as a friend, so how could I turn to outsiders? You still have to go to Tianhai Pavilion to accept the apology from the Feng family. How can you just let it go if you are offended? Today, his family owes him a debt.

You are a great favor, and you will be able to use it in the future. It is just that in the future, they also need to calm your nerves now.

However, if the Feng family offers gold and silver as an apology, don’t accept it, it’s too vulgar. This is also the strict rule set by the headmaster earlier. When Master Lin Chu came to be the heir, the reason why his parents

They fell out with me because I restricted them not to collect money from people indiscriminately.

But other things...such as the Sanwei Bookstore, if you like it, it's okay to accept it, it's considered an elegant gift!"

When Jia Qiang heard that he even knew about Sanwei Bookstore, she secretly twitched the corner of her mouth. With the influence of the Yanyuan Yamen, she really didn't have any secrets...

However, although he is not a shy and pedantic person, he does not want to taint the Feng family's property.

Because those items were of shady origin, after accepting them, Jia Qiang would feel uncomfortable in her heart, always thinking that they were obtained by the Feng family by setting up the Longmen Formation and eating human blood steamed buns.

If it was copied from the Feng family, then that's fine...

However, he didn't have to bear Chen Rong's request and let the Feng family clean up the Qinghe Gang first.

It was up to the Feng and Xu families to choose who would be their partners in the ice room business, and the Feng family had already been eliminated.

When the new ice house is built, the Feng family will vomit blood...

…

"What are you sighing for?"

On the way back to the guest room in West Road Courtyard, Jia Qiang asked in a funny way when she saw Li Jing sighing after being silent for a long time.

Li Jing said softly: "When I walked around the world in the past, I always looked down on official dogs. I just thought these people were useless snacks and would only make the people suffer and pay taxes. When I saw them today, I realized how powerful the word 'power' is."

I think about how much blood, tears and sweat she had to shed when she was in charge of the Jinsha Gang, so that she could lead the old and young men in Taiping Street to earn a little money and make a living.

Now Chen Rong and Jia Qiang can give away a bookshop worth three thousand taels of silver in just a short conversation.

This is a bookstore, the kind that can make money fifty years after death...

Li Jing could still think that this was because Chen Rong wanted to stay clean and was unwilling to accept bribes of gold and silver.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I might receive more...

This phenomenon deeply shocked her, and gave her an ambition to become an official.

Of course, this is just a thought. No matter how much she pretends to be a man, she is still just a woman after all.

Jia Qiang knew what she was thinking and said with a smile: "Don't think too much. Even Master Chen can only do this kind of thing once in a while. As for those black-hearted ghosts who have no conscience and dare to be greedy, it won't take long for them to

You will see what it means to go out and hang out, and there will always be a day when you have to pay it back. The world is bright and there is no room for so many ghosts. But we are different. We make clean money based on our ability and spend it with peace of mind."

Li Jing smiled and said: "I understand that today, corruption is the most evil... I am very satisfied with my life like this. If I really become an official, I will never see you again... By the way, then

Will Sanwei Bookstore be forced to come here by the Feng family?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "How dare they do this stall? Don't worry, the Feng family can establish itself in Yangzhou Prefecture and become a prominent family. They are not so stupid. They will always restrain themselves. Let's not talk about this. Let's go and see your father.

, at this point, can’t you still lose face? Don’t say anything for a while, and I’ll give him another cruel medicine to cure his crooked mind full of righteousness and morality! He is making trouble to leave the house, but who will recognize him after he leaves the house?

Visit him? That’s unreasonable!”
