Chapter 174 Fair
"Wait, where are you going to take my son?"
Before getting off the boat, Jia Qiang and his group were stopped by the crowd who rushed towards him. Among them was a middle-aged man who described Qing and Huang as a scholar who was well-educated.
However, when the middle-aged man saw the Qi Fu being held by two salt dicks and the slap marks on his face, his face turned gloomy and said in a deep voice.
Before Jia Qiang frowned, Qi Yun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Sir, this is what my father is..."
As he said that, he briefly told the story truthfully, without covering up anything.
Jia Qiang's eyebrows relaxed slightly and looked at Qi Yun with a slightly sideways. The father of Qi Fu, the head of the eight major salt merchants, was Qi Wannian.
Although Qi Wannian was just a salt merchant, he donated a third-rank title from the court, second only to the second-rank title of the Qi family.
From the perspective of temperament, this person is not like a businessman, but a scholar.
Qi Wannian glared at Qi Fu first, obviously not expecting that his favorite young son would do such a stupid thing.
After glaring, he bowed to Jia Qiang and said, "I heard about my name from Brother Shi. The Supreme Emperor praised him three times and gave him the name Liangchen. Such a holy favor is rare in ancient and modern times, which can be seen as the talent of Brother Shi. Originally, I wanted to invite Brother Shi himself, but I was afraid that Brother Shi thought that I was too old and stupid, so I sent the dog to come forward. Unexpectedly, the beast that was unstoppable also ran out and caused such a disaster. Brother Shi should have been taken back to discipline him, but his 80-year-old father in the family has always spoiled this son. It is impossible to shorten a day. I also asked Brother Shi to open a look and be tolerant!"
Jia Qiang watched Qi Wannian reduce his seniority to the same level as him, and his pupils contracted.
The strange thing about Qi's family can do this, and it is not enough to describe it by being able to bend and stretch.
This guy looks elegant and looks like a well-educated man, and can clearly see his face as if nothing is left.
Even shameless can be so sincere...
If Jia Qiang was really just a 16-year-old boy, he might not be able to withstand such a formation at all.
But in his heart, he was a suspicious person who had experienced various reversal conspiracies in his previous life and had almost zero trust that strangers could give.
Seeing Qi Wannian like this, his vigilance and disgust increased greatly. For the first time, he had a preliminary understanding of what the real businessman in this era was, but he knew that at this time, he could not retreat at all, so he frowned and said, "How should the head of Qi family be dealt with and end to the end of the matter of hurting others? Brother De'ang has a consensus. Are you now preparing to overturn this consensus?"
Seeing that Jia Qiang was indifferent, Qi Wannian turned to look at Qi Yun and asked, "What consensus?"
Qi Yun whispered: "Father, in order not to let this matter be implicated in the Qi family, his son agreed to ask Brother Fu to take it away by Liangchen. However, as long as the young master of the Xue family is fine, Brother Fu will be released."
Qi Wannian looked at his eldest son with a gloomy look and asked, "What if something happened to him accidentally?"
Qi Yun shook his head and said, "If this is true, Brother Fu..."
The words are not finished, the meaning is clear.
Qi Wannian looked at the eldest son who was most valued by the Qi family. He turned to Jia Qiang and said, "I, Qi family, are willing to do my best to compensate the young master of the Xue family. Brother Shi, look..."
Jia Qiang shouted and said, "If the head of Qi really doesn't want the son to be taken away, it's not impossible. As long as..."
"Just what?"
Qi Wannian hurriedly asked.
Jia Qiang said lightly: "As long as the son is beaten back as if he had just hit someone."
Seeing Qi Wannian's face suddenly sinking, Jia Qiang frowned and said, "Head of Qi's family, I'm telling you clearly. Qi Fu takes action to hurt others. He does things one by one, and I won't take the blame for the Qi family. If you think that your Qi Wannian's son beats someone and pays some money, you can get a debt. This is to make enemies with us. If you really want to do this, it doesn't matter, my Jia family and Xue family will definitely be with you to the end."
As soon as this was said, Jia Lian also walked up and looked at Qi Wannian and sneered: "In the future, Jia Lian, my father's first-class Duke Rong's mansion attacked Jia She. The head of the Qi family is really going to give me a few taels of silver to apologize after beating someone?"
Qi Wannian actually didn't take a declining Duke's Mansion seriously. Is it because the Qi family can firmly rank first in the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou?
Not to mention the Supreme Emperor's emphasis on the Qi family, even after Emperor Long'an ascended the throne, the Qi family also had a lot of filial piety.
The other princes and princes, even the military ministers and the six ministers, have never let the family go without the chance to give money.
The position of the salt merchant who had not changed for more than 6 years was made by mountains of gold and silver.
If you are just a duke's mansion, you really can't do anything to him.
However, what Qi Wannian feared was the Yanyuan Yamen and the newly appointed Liangjiang Governor Han Banshan who was in the Yanyuan Yamen at this moment.
Especially Han Bin, who was not good at using soft and hard methods, all the staff of Qi's family believed that the visitor was not good!
This man has too high prestige in the country and has no flaws around him, so the Qi family has not yet developed a way to deal with him.
If Han Bin takes this opportunity to get angry, the Qi family is afraid of losing a lot...
But even so, Qi Wannian could not let Jia Qiang take away his young son who was crying.
Regarding Jia Qiang, the staff of Qi family all believed that this was a cruel and decisive person.
It was my youth again, and the Mei family had just been destroyed. Most of the Feng family was full of pride. At this time, the youngest son fell into his hands, afraid that he would not be able to survive.
It doesn’t matter if you offend the Jia family and leave a handle to Han Banshan.
The Qi family can always find a way to resolve it, but if the youngest son's life is gone, it will be too late to regret it.
Qi Wannian looked at the two people of the Jia family, frowned, and sighed, "The Qi family had no intention. However, since they learned that the dog son had committed a crime, they would naturally not come alone. **** issued an order to praise my Qi family for passing on the family through merchants, but they did not lack loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness. For this sentence, the Qi family never dared to hide dirty things and do evil. Therefore, they specially invited the Yangzhou magistrate Li Mu and Li to come together to collect the dog son. Don't worry, the prefect Li has always handled cases impartially and would never spare the dog son, that beast!"
After saying that, he bowed slightly and greeted him: "Mr. Li, please."
At this time, everyone saw an old man dressed in the fourth-rank official uniform, wearing white hair and beard, walking around and entering the venue with a serious expression. After glanced around, they asked in a deep voice: "Where is the one who deliberately hurts others?"
When he saw the official, Qi Fu was not afraid, but instead said excitedly: "I am here, I am here, I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender!"
But he wanted to move forward, but was still stopped.
"Um?"
Seeing this, Li Mu frowned and looked directly at Jia Qiang, saying, "Young Master Jia, do you want to rely on your power to interfere in our case?"
Jia Qiang smiled and shook his head and said, "How can the students have this intention? The students just want to tell the master of the imperial decree that there is more than one murderer in this case."
"Oh? Is there anyone in addition to Qi Fu?"
Li Mu was extremely confused. He had eaten too much food from the Qi family and had to come forward this time, but the other side was obviously not a good person.
His only wish now is to finish the matter cleanly and immediately call him sick and retire to seek a good end.
But he didn't expect that Jia Qiang pointed at Tietou and said, "It's not an accomplice. There are still people here, so they are going to commit crimes."
Before Li Mu could react, he heard the faces of the Qi family's father and son change sharply, and he said in surprise: "No, stop!"
However, it was too late, so I saw Tietou pick up the round stool that Qi Fu had hit someone just now, and smashed it at Qi Fu.
His strength was much greater than Qi Fu. With just one moment, Qi Fu screamed and fell to the ground.
However, the sound of his wailing sounds did not seem to be dying...
Tietou looked at Jia Qiang, as if waiting for the next order. After seeing Jia Qiang nodding slightly, he threw away the stool and smiled coldly at the Qi family who was almost about to run into him.
He had just seen Xue Pan's wound. Although it seemed to be a frightening person, it was probably because Xue Pan had protected himself well before and there was no major problem with him. Therefore, he also controlled his strength and only hit Qi Fu with an injury similar to Xue Pan.
Even so, seeing the blood on Qi Fu's forehead flowing all over his face, Qi Wannian's eyes were still bloody.
The prefect Li Mu was even more angry and shouted loudly: "Rareless! You dare to commit crimes in front of our mansion!!"
Jia Qiang's expression remained unchanged, looking at Qi Wannian and said indifferently: "It was just a conflict between two young people in a family and a fight. Your young man was not well educated and had no choice but to take him back to clean up and let him know that the world is high and the earth is over, and it will be done... The Yanei in the capital city fought every three days and every five days. As long as he didn't get married like a son, who cares about this? Unfortunately, I was going to be on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditches. Since the head of the Qi family insisted on forming a mortal hatred, how could my Jia family let you down?"
After saying that, he looked back at Li Mu and said, "Master, now both sides should be considered as waiting for the crime, right? The students' requirements are not high. If the other party sentences to be executed by the Houxiao, we will admit it. If the other party sentences to exile for three thousand miles, we will be the same. But if we blame three hundred sticks and the other party for three glasses of wine, then the lawsuit will be sued to the Governor's Office and the Golden Palace, and we will definitely accompany us to the end.
The dragon courtyard of the Great Yan was soaked in the blood of the ancestors and supported by white bones, but it was not built by several merchants and monks.
The descendants have inherited blessings and are still in the glory of the people!
This is a elixir written by Emperor Taizu Gao, and it is still hanging on the gate of the Jia Family Ancestral Hall.
I don’t believe that a few salt merchants who started by drinking salt and blood dare to make trouble!”
After saying that, he ignored Li Mu, whose face changed suddenly, and Jia Qiang, who was covered in noble and cold air, was about to take people away. Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen, who had received Qi Yun's repeated winks, jumped out and laughed: "Oh, misunderstandings are really a big misunderstanding! Mr. Qiang, this Qi Fu is just a young boy. I don't know who was fooled by someone to come here. As a result, he thought the woman in the Pearl Pavilion was a innocent girl from a good family. Seeing this... Brother Xue pampered her, he thought it was an irrespectful act, so he was blinded.
He took action. Speaking of which, he was good at it. But this old man was the most ignorant of the seriousness of the people. Mr. Qiang Er understood people and must understand what was going on, so he didn't prepare anything. He only brought Qi Fu back to repair it, so he told him not to be so stupid in the future... Uncle Qi Shi, Brother Qi has already made this matter safe. Just such a small matter, why bother to form a dead enemy, right? It's not that whoever is stronger and weak, the key is that it is really not worth it, not worth it!"
After Xu Zhen said this, Qi Yun also persuaded Qi Wannian and whispered beside him: "Father, it was a misunderstanding. It is really not appropriate to provoke him at this time..."
Qi Wannian said in a deep voice: "Now that the trouble is so good, can we still let us?" He felt a little guilty.
The boy from the capital in front of him was really beyond his expectations.
Even he was frightened by the big hat. The key is that he is indeed stronger and he still has the right to take advantage of it...
If it really breaks apart, the Qi family will be bleeding a lot, so it won’t be better.
Qi Yun whispered: "As long as my father promised to expose this matter, the rest of them will have their own sons to be young. Grandfather and father often teach their sons that for families like us, the most important thing is not money, not power and domineering, but harmony and wealth."
When Qi Wannian heard this, his eyes twitched, and looked at the eldest son with some deep meaning in his eyes and said, "Since that's the case, you can do it yourself. Just a little bit. Tonight, I will take Fu'er home no matter what."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The Qi family’s great master is the soul of the Qi family. The Supreme Emperor has made six southern tours. The reason why he praises the Qi family every time is because the Qi family’s great master is really smart.
However, the Qi family's great master was not very satisfied with Qi Wannian, but he liked Qi Yun, the eldest grandson.
This made Qi Wannian feel uncomfortable, and therefore prefer his youngest son.
After Qi Wannian left, Qi Yun first bowed to the Yangzhou prefect and said, "Mr. Li, I am really bothering Lord Li today. What's next is up to us juniors to decide for ourselves. We must not bother Lord Li anymore."
Li Mu's expression calmed down when he heard this, and looked at Qi Yun and said, "It's true that Old Master Qi values you, the eldest grandson, so much. Well, since you young people can solve the problem by themselves, I will say goodbye first."
I just don’t expect that before Li Mu leaves, the storm changes again...
