Xu Jin and his group entered the Jianchang Marquis Mansion. When a servant immediately closed the thick door, they even dropped two horizontal bars behind the door, and made a stance of closing the door and beating the dog. Xie Erjian and Xie Sanqian looked at each other, and the latter's lips slightly slightly turned their mouths, with very disdain. Huo Tao and the four minor officials obviously felt something was wrong, and turned around nervously.

Zhang Wang, the butler of the Marquis of Jianchang, made a gesture of invitation with a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, Lord Huo, please come in there, our Marquis will be here soon."

Xu Jin walked calmly towards the hall door, but Huo Tao had to bite the bullet and follow. As for the Xie brothers and four minor officials, they were stopped outside the door.

Xu Jin and Huo Tao were sitting in the living room, and no one served tea. It took nearly a quarter of an hour before Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, walked out from behind the screen with a thorn.

"I have met Marquis Jianchang!" Xu Jin and Huo Tao stood up and saluted. This kind of thing still has to be done.

Zhang Yanling glanced at Huo Tao and said, "Who are you?"

Huo Tao hurriedly said: "The lower official is Huo Tao, the head of the Ministry of Revenue."

Zhang Yanling immediately said disdainfully: "The sixth-rank chief is qualified to enter my marquis' living room? Get out of here."

Huo Tao's face turned red. Although he had expected that he would ask for trouble at home today, he did not expect that Marquis Jianchang was so domineering, without any affection, and he would make fun of himself as soon as he met.

As the saying goes, when beating a dog, you must look at the owner's face. Huo Tao is Xu Jin's direct subordinate. Zhang Yanling explicitly humiliated Huo Tao, but in fact he slapped Xu Jin in the face and demonstrated to him.

Since the last time in Qionglin Tower, Xu Jin has already broken up with Zhang Yanling. This time he came to the door with another purpose, so he naturally would not be polite to Zhang Yanling. He smiled lightly and said, "Marty Jianchang is so powerful, aren't you afraid of slapping down his house?"

Zhang Yanling suddenly looked at Xu Jin and sneered: "The house belongs to me. Even if it is shaved, it doesn't matter to others. I'm going to drive people in my own house. Does Jing Anbo think there is something wrong?"

Xu Jin smiled lightly and said, "Of course there is no problem, but we are here to do it today by the emperor's order. Even if the majesty of Marquis Jianchang can bring down the house, it will not be able to defeat the emperor's order."

"Bah, Xu Jin, don't take chicken feathers as command arrows. The emperor just ordered you to measure the land, but did not give you the right to check the land contract. If this marquis is unhappy, he can drive you out of the mansion at any time." Zhang Yanling said as his eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Xu Jin calmly took out a volume of imperial edict from his sleeve and recited it loudly: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor, said:... Zi ordered Xu Jin, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, to clear all the fields in the capital of Zhangzhou, and ordered the Ministry of Justice to cooperate. All related matters can be done cheaply. If anyone dares to obstruct, he will be punished severely without lending. I respect this!"

After reading the imperial edict, Xu Jin said indifferently: "Marty Jianchang has heard clearly. I can do everything related to Qingzhangdi, and I also asked the Marquis to actively cooperate with the Ministry of Revenue to check the land contract and re-measure the land under the name of your mansion."

Zhang Yanling's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "It's not impossible for Lord Xu to check the land contract, but I have a lot of fields under my name. There are a few large boxes of contracts alone. Lord Xu sat down for a while, and I immediately ordered someone to move them."

Xu Jin bowed his hand and sat down quietly. Huo Tao also sat down, but he was secretly wondering why Zhang Yanling's attitude changed so quickly, and he was really overwhelmed by the imperial edict. This is not like his personality.

Zhang Yanling sat down in the main seat, slapped the table and scolded: "Why don't you give tea to the guests? Are everyone dead?"

As soon as this was said, a maid came in with tea and poured Zhang Yanling a cup of tea first, then walked to Xu Jin to pour tea, but his hands were trembling slightly.

Xu Jin subconsciously looked up at the maid and found that the maid was actually quite good-looking, but his eyes were wandering and he was obviously nervous.

After the maid poured tea for Xu Jin, Huo Tao, who was about to walk down, suddenly his body tilted and poured into Xu Jin's arms. The teapot in his hand also broke to the ground. While tearing open the collars of his clothes, revealing the white peaks on his chest, and screaming: "Mr. Xu, you... are so rude!"

Huo Tao couldn't help but be stunned. Is this okay?

Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, smiled sinisterly. It doesn't matter if he acted fake. He just needed an excuse to attack. He then smashed the teacup in his hand, stood up and cursed: "How dare you, how dare you insult the maid of this mansion in front of the eyes of this marquis in front of the marquis in front of the marquis, Xu Jin, you are so terrified!"

Xu Jin pushed the maid away in his arms, stood up calmly, and smiled lightly: "Wouldn't it be embarrassing to use such a clumsy trick?"

After the maid was pushed away by Xu Jin, she opened her chest and covered her face and cried. Zhang Yanling laughed and said, "Xu Jin, it's you who is embarrassing today. Come on, beat this shameless, lewd and lustful guy out of the box."

If Xu Jin had attacked the Jianchang Marquis Mansion with his men yesterday, Zhang Yanling would have killed Xu Jin directly. However, Xu Jin was just working in the door today and did not threaten the Jianchang Marquis Mansion. Naturally, he had no excuse to kill him, so he planned to find an excuse to beat Xu Jin halfway. As for Huo Tao, a small sixth-rank chief, he would be beaten to death. Anyway, there is no need to worry that the little emperor would stand up for him.

With a command from Zhang Yanling, the servants who were ambushing behind the screen immediately rushed out like a wolf and tiger, and everyone held a stick in their hands.

Huo Tao's face turned pale in an instant, but Xu Jin reacted very quickly. He grabbed the teacup and smashed it towards Zhang Yanling. At the same time, he kicked the tea table over, jumped up, and hid behind the Taishi Chair.

"Ah!" Zhang Yanling was splashed with hot tea in the cup, and he screamed loudly.

The servants were stunned and came forward to support Zhang Yanling. The latter was burned lightly, with red spots on his face, and he cursed loudly: "Beat me, beat me to death."

The servants immediately rushed forward fiercely, swung their batons and hit them. Huo Tao only realized this time. He just stood up and wanted to escape. He was hit by a stick in his head. He was bleeding from the spot. He held his head with his hands and curled up in a ball to protect the vital points.

Seeing the opportunity, Xu Jin hid behind the Taishi Chair and was not hit for the time being.

At this time, the Xie brothers and four minor officials from the Ministry of Revenue who were waiting outside were also attacked, and twenty or thirty guards surrounded them and beat them up.

Xie Erqin easily grabbed a stick, and in a few seconds he fucked several servants who were blocking the way, shouting: "Three shots, protect your brother-in-law!"

"Okay!" Xie Sanqian laughed and rushed into the hall like a tiger.

Xie Erjian took out a small bamboo tube with his backhand and unscrewed it. White smoke came out, followed by a signal fireworks shooting into the sky.

Qi Jingtong had already taken the brothers from the 500th camp nearby to the nearby marquis. When he saw the flames rising from the Jianchang Marquis' Mansion, he grinned and said, "Brothers, work!"

Fifty brave soldiers from the Five Hundred Battalions immediately ran quickly outside the Jianchang Marquis' Mansion. Although the door of the mansion was closed and the courtyard wall was three meters high, this could not defeat the brothers from the Five Hundred Battalions. Climbing the wall was their unique skill.

I saw that each of the five hundred battalions of soldiers was in a group of three. With the cooperation of each other, they swept up the three-meter-high courtyard wall and jumped in.

Soon, the gate opened from inside, and Qi Jingtong rushed in with the remaining brothers. The servants of the Hou Mansion who were besieging Xie Erjian were quickly killed by all the soldiers from the 500th battalion.

Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian rushed into the living room. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Yanling had already fled to the backyard in a hurry under the escort of his servants.

"Sir, are you okay?" Qi Jingtong was shocked when he saw Xu Jin stained with blood on his body.

Xu Jin shook his head slightly, and Qi Jingtong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Xu Jin was holding Huo Tao, whose head was covered in blood, and his official robe was covered in blood, looking miserable. The blood on Xu Jin was stained by someone else, but Huo Tao was really beaten and moaned in pain.

And the imperial edict fell beside it, and it had been cut in half, with some blood stains on it.

Originally, Marquis Jianchang just wanted to beat Xu Jin half to death, but was poured by Xu Jin for a cup of hot tea. The guy was so angry that he lost his mind and ordered his subordinates to use a knife. Xu Jin blocked it with an imperial edict, so the imperial edict became like this now.

"Marquis Jianchang deliberately plotted to murder the imperial court and destroyed the imperial edict, committing a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. He should be punished. You should take this thief down as soon as possible!" Xu Jin shouted loudly.

Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian looked at each other and immediately rushed to the backyard with their people. The gunshots rang out immediately, deliberately destroying the imperial edict and despising the imperial power. This charge was like a rebellion, so there was no problem in treating the thief with guns.

Bang bang bang bang...

The gunshots and screams fluctuated one after another, and the Shouning Marquis Mansion opposite naturally heard it. The family urgently reported to the Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling: "Marty, something is wrong. Jing'an Bo Xu Jin led the 500th battalion to attack the opposite mansion."

Zhang Heling was so scared that his face was pale. He knew about his younger brother smashing Xu Jin's property yesterday, but he didn't take it seriously. For him, this was just a trivial matter. Anyway, the two brothers did this before. But what Zhang Heling didn't expect was that Xu Jin actually dared to use the Five Hundred Battalions to retaliate and directly entered the Jianchang Marquis' Mansion. Is this so fierce?

"Hurry and hurry... inform the five cities of the military commander Xu Jin, Jing'an Bo, rebelled and asked them to send troops to suppress them immediately and not let anyone in the Xu family go." After Zhang Heling gave the order, he immediately took people away from Zemen and rushed to the palace to report the news.

At this time, the young emperor Zhu Houcong was attending a lecture on the imperial lecture in Wenhua Hall. Today, the lecture was Shi Yu, a Hanlin Bachelor and Left Minister of Rites.

Shi Shi’s speech today is "Zuo Zhuan", and even the cabinet chief Yang Tinghe came to listen.

Shi Shi was speaking on the stage, but Zhu Houcan was drowsy and yawned from time to time.

Mr. Yang couldn't help frowning, and was about to remind Zhu Houcong to concentrate, Zhu Hong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, ran in with a panic expression and reported: "Emperor, Jing'an Bo Xu Jin and Marquis of Jianchang have started fighting, and have now attacked the Marquis of Jianchang."

As soon as this said, the audience was silent. Zhu Houguan couldn't help but feel shocked and blurted out: "What's going on? Why did Jing'an Bo attack the Marquis of Jianchang?"

Zhu Hong said carefully: "This minister is not clear yet. It is said that Jing'an Bo took officials from the Ministry of Revenue to check the land contract today. Not long after, the people from the Five Hundred Battalions forcibly attacked the Jianchang Marquis' Mansion."

Xu Jin was the emperor's favorite minister, and Jianchang Hou was the empress dowager's younger brother, so Zhu Hong said he was cautious and did not dare to take any bias.

Shi Qi said angrily: "It's outrageous. In the imperial city, at the feet of the sky, Xu Ziqian actually led his troops to attack the Marquis' Mansion. Do you want to rebel?"

Yuan Zonggao, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, immediately retorted: "At this time, I don't know the reason for the Central Plains. Mr. Shi's words were biased. I believe Xu Ziqian would not order the attack on the Marquis of Jianchang for no reason."

Zhu Houyan didn't care why Xu Jin repaired the Marquis of Jianchang. He just wanted to have an excuse to leave Wenhua Palace and no longer listen to Shi Yu's lullaby. He immediately shouted: "Come here, I'll go to the Marquis of Jianchang. I have to ask clearly in person."

After saying that, the little emperor stood up, shook his sleeves, and ran out of Wenhua Palace in a hurry. Yang Tinghe shook his head lightly and followed him to chase him. He had a premonition that Marquis Jianchang would be in trouble this time. Since Xu Jin dared to attack the Marquis' Mansion, he must have some support.

...

In the Xiaofang and the Jianchang Hou Mansion, there were crying sounds. Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling and his family hid in the backyard hall and shivered. The butler Zhang Wang, with more than a dozen servants, blocked the door tremblingly.

In the yard, several 500 battalions of soldiers were holding flintlock rifles and aiming at the gate, but they had no intention of attacking.

At this time, in the living room in the front yard, Xu Jin was sitting leisurely on a chair. Although the Jianchang Hou Mansion was crowded, the fifty five hundred battalions of soldiers were enough to control the overall situation, so he was not worried at all.

"Report to the master, I found it in the cellar." Qi Jingtong walked out, and two brothers from the 500th battalion behind him were still holding one, which was exactly Sun Laosan who was kidnapped yesterday.

Sun Laosan looked miserable at this moment, his torn clothes were covered with dry blood, and his face was blue and purple. As soon as he saw Xu Jin, he cried loudly: "Sir, I didn't say anything. They hit me all night and asked me about the secret recipe for the glass mirror, but I didn't tell them anything."

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a little moved. Looking at the miserable situation of Sun Laosan, he probably suffered a lot this day and night. He patted his shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay now. If you encounter such a thing in the future, just tell me the prescription directly. Money is something outside of your body. You can earn it again if you lose money, and your life will be gone."

Sun Laosan nodded gratefully.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside. It turned out that the people from the Five City Military Command arrived. Hundreds of soldiers rushed in and surrounded the front yard hall. The crossbow and muskets pointed at Xu Jin and others in the hall.

Dingguo Duke Xu Guangzuo walked into the yard with a cold expression, and followed Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding.
