Chapter 160 anger(2/2)
…
In Mei Qing Hall.
Mei Xun was talking to the heads of four of the eight major salt merchant families, as well as the head of the Feng family, the head of the Xu family, and other heads of the local prominent clans in Yangzhou Prefecture.
The content of the conversation was naturally that the new governor of Liangjiang had arrived in Jinling and would take over the power of salt inspection.
Bai, Shen, Wu, and Thursday's salt merchants' attitudes towards Feng Jian have changed drastically. Bai Yuan, the head of the Bai family, said with a smile: "Brother Xixian, after the Yanyuan Yamen is abolished, the Yangzhou Yamen will be responsible for directly supervising the salt business." By then, the Feng family will be directly in charge of catching illegal salt. The rise of the Feng family is just around the corner."
Feng Jian heard the words and said humbly: "No, no, the Feng family can't rise as a small government official. Even if it can do something, it will only benefit the villagers."
If others say these things, most of the old foxes sitting here won't believe it.
But the Feng family is different. This is a local hometown that really rarely has any conflicts with high-ranking families.
Because he is in charge of the military office of the government, the Feng family will help anyone they can with any request that comes to the Feng family. The head of the family, Feng Jian, is well-known for being an upright gentleman and a bodhisattva-hearted person.
So the heads of these families believed what he said.
Just when everyone wanted to continue to praise Feng Jian, they suddenly heard a burst of screams and noise coming from the side hall.
Mei Xun, who didn't care about being overtaken by others, immediately frowned and said to Mei Jiu: "Go and see, what's going on?"
However, before Mei Jiu could go out, she saw the housekeeper Sun Cai running in hastily, with a clear slap mark on his face, and said anxiously: "Master, second master, it's not good, that Jia Qiang is about to kill the two elders of the Feng family." He was beaten to death, and even my brother was beaten when he was trying to start a fight..."
"What?"
