Four hundred and ninety-one: Standing a tree as a symbol
The master smiled bitterly and said: "Even if it is made by those salt merchants, you have to make an idea, what should we do next?"
Pan Jian's face changed for a long time, and he seemed to be a little hesitant. The master looked a little impatient, so he said to Pan Jian: "Gang leader, no matter who did it, let's just focus on the salt merchant, right? This time
What they did went too far! The capital city is our territory! Even if our brothers get a share of the pie in Yangzhou City, we won’t go on a rampage and kill people!"
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving and before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here..]
Pan Jian groaned after hearing this, and the master cupped his fists and said: "Gang leader, if there is no explanation for this matter, the people in the gang will be divided, and there will be chaos! Now is a special period, if we can't handle this matter well, let us
The brothers in the gang are heartbroken, and the consequences will be disastrous, Gang Leader!"
Pan Jian was finally a little shaken after hearing this, but still frowned and said: "But... I'm afraid that if we fight with the salt merchant like this, both sides will lose, but if the person behind it is not a salt merchant, I'm afraid the person behind it will be a fisherman."
What a profit!"
Pan Jian's intention is actually very simple: he suspects that this matter is the result of the imperial court, or even the evil-minded Jia Z! Then if he and the salt merchants fight and lose both sides, then the imperial court will suffer such a huge loss.
benefit?
The master smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "Gang leader, even if this matter was done by the imperial court, can we do anything to the imperial court?" That is definitely not possible, and he would not dare to do it!
The master sighed and said: "Besides, the court will probably not let us go too far. It is also a good thing to take this opportunity to show our loyalty to the court! So whether it was done by the salt merchants or not, it must be them.
made!"
Pan Jian nodded slowly. After all, they still had to do business in Dayan, just to support their family in Hukou. If their fundamental interests were not touched, who would want to be at odds with the court? People do not fight with officials.
…………
But Pan Jian was reluctant to ask the Caobang to be the vanguard for the imperial court. After all, if there was a big quarrel with the salt merchants, the loss would definitely not be a small loss! The salt merchants are not as harmless as imagined!
Regardless of their power or strength, they are definitely no less than the Cao Gang! They are even much richer than the Cao Gang! The salt dealer under his command is a ruthless person who licks blood all the time!
What does the Cao Gang have? Except for the few Jianghu worshipers who paid a lot of money to invite them, almost all members of the Cao Gang are bitter. How can they be the opponents of those salt men who have experienced hundreds of battles?
Before Lin Ruhai went to Yangzhou, it wasn't that he didn't have decent defense forces under his command. Even Emperor Yongxi sent some experts from the palace and around himself to protect his safety. But after so many years, these people are almost dead!
Are the people under Pan Jian stronger than the people under Lin Ruhai? Lin Ruhai couldn't bear it and asked others to kill his wife and children. The remaining daughter was so frightened that she hurriedly sent her back to Shenjing City. On the one hand, she called the salt merchants
Since the Duke's position in the palace was a little more restrained, didn't he also ask Emperor Yongxi to take care of his orphaned daughter?
Emperor Yongxi might not pay much attention to Lin Daiyu, but if something happened to Daiyu, Emperor Yongxi would definitely be the angriest one!
After all, Lin Ruhai has definitely achieved great results through hard work over the years. If the current situation hadn't meant that the court still needed this God of Wealth to raise money for them, Emperor Yongxi would have been unable to bear it and sent him back to the capital!
His wife was killed, his only son was drowned, four generations of nobles, Tanhua Lang, who came from an aristocratic and scholarly family and became famous at a young age, finally ended up with such a miserable end. To reach this level as an official would have been a long time ago.
So I resigned and went into seclusion! Even if I didn’t resign, I would have been tortured crazy...
But Lin Ruhai is now fighting for Emperor Yongxi's New Deal funds, and has never fallen down, and the salt tax is getting higher year by year! There are some things that the emperor doesn't say, but it doesn't mean that the emperor doesn't keep them in mind!
So even if there is no time bomb like Li Z,
The Jia family bullied an orphan girl, embezzled the Lin family property, used Lin Daiyu's body to support the whole family, and finally caused an orphan girl who lost her mother, brother, and father to end up with a "jade belt hanging in the forest"
, For such a shameless act, Emperor Yongxi was so angry that he killed the entire Jia family. That would be considered a great achievement of the Second Duke Ning Rong...
Let's get back to the topic, Lin Ruhai's strength is not strong, but Pan Jian would never dare to say that he is stronger than others! Even they ended up in such a miserable end because of fighting with salt merchants, how many iron heads does Pan Jian have to dare to provoke them?
Therefore, Pan Jian seemed very hesitant. On the one hand, it was the indignation of the brothers in the gang, and on the other hand, it was a war between the salt merchants that was limited to business fighting. If an all-out war with the salt merchants started at this time, to be honest, Pan Jian would
Don't dare......
The master saw Pan Jian's hesitation, so he continued: "Everything must have rules, and business matters are discussed, but if there is blood, then you have to follow the rules of the world! Let's not ask them to follow suit.
Damn it, people will think that our Caogang gang is a soft persimmon that everyone can bully!"
The master looked at Pan Jian and said: "From now on, everyone will really have no way to survive! I'm afraid everyone in the world will underestimate my Cao Gang! How can we still beg for food up and down this river?"
Pan Jian finally made up his mind, nodded to the master and said: "I understand! You don't have to say anything anymore! Then do it like this, you go and convey my meaning immediately, the Yangzhou salt merchants are going too far! Killing my brothers in the gang is unacceptable.
We share a common hatred! Go now and start tomorrow to declare war on the Yangzhou salt merchants!"
"The gang leader is wise!"
Jia Z looked at a big man in front of him walking slowly in front of his horse. His fierce eyes were always looking at him. Even when he saw the python robe on his body, he was not afraid at all. He just watched Jia Z staring at him.
So it's just an eye for an eye.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fortunately, he was also on his way, so the two just passed each other. The eyes on the side were slightly narrowed, and Yanagisawa, who was pressing his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, was also full of satisfaction.
He looked at the big man slowly walking away with a fierce face.
Jia Z raised his eyebrows and said: "Ahem, the folk customs are really simple, huh?" Liuze smiled when he heard this and said: "My subordinates lived here for a while. There are many black households and low-income people here, so what's the matter?
Yes, most people in the world have no roads, so naturally they can only come to places like this."
Xue Biao, who was on the side, heard this and said, "Then why doesn't the imperial court clean up this kind of place?" Lin Feng, who had been looking at the map, laughed when he heard this and said, "Why do we have to clean up this place? There is such a place where filth and evil are hiding, and the glory on the face is
It won’t get stained with dust.”
Xue Biao suddenly realized, Lin Feng smiled and put away the map in his hand and said: "This world has always been in harmony with yin and yang. Where there is light, there must be darkness. Where there are good people, there will naturally be bad people. With the prosperity outside, naturally there will be
There must be a hell on earth like Beicheng! If these people are really thrown out, the yin and yang will be mixed up and things will be bad!"
Jia Z snorted and said: "That's nonsense! It's true that Yin and Yang are harmonious, but if Yang is stronger than Yin, how can this be the case? If candles are burning in a room, there will naturally be many dark places, but if
Is it a torch? Is it a fire?"
Lin Feng smiled and replied: "It will burn the house down!" Jia Z kicked him on the butt. Lin Feng quickly reined in his horse and dodged. Jia Z shook his head and said, "No matter what His Majesty ordered us to defend together.
What is the purpose? We come as we come, we have to leave something behind!"
Lin Feng was startled when he heard this and had a bad premonition: "What do you want to do?" Jia Z didn't say anything and just smiled mysteriously. Then Lin Lu ran over on horseback, got off his horse and clasped his fists: "Shuai Yu!
The soldiers have been assembled, but there are too many soldiers, so we can only let them wait for orders outside the city! Please give us your instructions!"
Jia Z nodded, and then led his men towards the direction where the soldiers were gathering. In fact, there were only a lot of officers from the three armies. At this time, they all stood in formation with their heads held high and their swords straddled.
When the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, who were originally gathering in twos and threes to chat, saw this, they lined up embarrassedly. However, compared with the solemn and neat soldiers of the Beijing Camp and the Yulin Army, they were just like a group of soldiers.
Like gangsters and gangsters...
He doesn't look like a prince even if he wears a dragon robe! Apparently they themselves realized this, so they all lowered their heads in shame, but in their hearts they were still disdainful, so the grandson stood up straight!
This made Qiu Liang, who was following Jia Z, want to find a crack in the ground and crawl in! Look at your virtue! Qiu Liang knew that Jia Z had always been meticulous in doing things, so he was inevitably worried at this time.
But at the same time, he also made up his mind. If Jia Z scolded him, he would refute the fact that the Wucheng Army and Horses Division itself was not considered an army, and he might even be able to ask him to change his official position for him!
The people of Beicheng are indeed unusual. If the people of other cities saw so many soldiers with swords and swords gathered together, they would have been frightened and ran home to hide. However, the people of Beicheng were not only not afraid, but
They also watched with great interest.
So when Jia Z arrived, he was almost surrounded by people watching! As soon as Jia Z arrived, Lin Lu inside immediately drew his knife and shouted: "Jade Handsome is here!"
The common people watched this scene with great interest, and then Liu Ze led people to clear the way in front, and then reluctantly allowed Jia Z to walk in safely.
It's just that countless probing eyes among the crowd are inevitably looking at Jia Z. Among them are many knights, criminals, criminals, and thieves. They are all looking at Jia Z with great interest. Oh, this is the legendary Marquis Ning!
Among the crowd, a man wrapped in a black robe was watching Jia Z silently. Under the black robe, there was a pale and pretty face, and a luxurious python robe...
Jia Z's expression did not change at all, as if those people were looking at him with curiosity or malice, but they were not looking at him at all!
Walking to the stage, Jia Z turned over and dismounted, and Lin Lu shouted again: "Commander Yu, dismount! Stand at attention! Please review Commander Yu!" Then there was a sound of stamping on the ground, and everyone held their heads high and their chests high.
Visually greet Jia Z.
Jia Z slowly walked onto the stage and just raised his hand. Lin Lu then shouted: "Salute to Commander Yu!" Then there was a series of sword draws, and everyone raised their swords in front of their chests.
Shouted: "Salute to Commander Yu!"
Jia Z waved his hand and said: "It's done! Take a break!" After hearing this, everyone put away their knives in unison, and their feet also stood astride the knives. After this exercise, they originally looked at Jia Z casually.
His sight suddenly disappeared a lot.
The arrogant atmosphere around them suddenly disappeared, and even the people who were standing casually to watch the show couldn't help but put down their arms and stood upright involuntarily.
The murderous aura that permeated the surroundings made those people in the world feel a little depressed. Naturally, when facing Jia Z, they lost the mentality of a worldly master who despised the royal power...
Jia Z glanced at everyone, and then said: "I've told you what to do before, and it's pointless to say it again, so I'll just tell you what to do next and what my thoughts are."
Everyone was silent, Jia Z was silent for a moment, and then said without surprising, "My idea is very simple, that is, we need to rectify Beicheng!"
As soon as these words came out, the people watching below fell silent, and then there was an uproar, but Jia Z didn't show any unnecessary changes in his expression, and Bai Xijun just stared at him silently.
"Quiet! Quiet!"
Yanagisawa led his soldiers in big strides to isolate the surrounding people, shouting in silence. The people were not stupid enough to act recklessly in the face of bright and sharp swords and guns...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing everyone's silence, Jia Z continued to speak: "Actually, before I came here, I had the same idea as you all, just hang out.
, what should I do, what should I do, as long as you don’t cause trouble for me during my joint defense..."
That's right! Isn't this good? How should we live? You can come here to defend for a month or two, and we can survive for half a year. We should abide by the law during this period, and you can save your face, right? Be an official
Isn’t that the case for all?
Some of the more aggressive people in the world were already a little impatient with Jia Z's behavior! Jia Z naturally sensed this atmosphere as he glanced at the crowd, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Then Jia Z loudly said: "But something happened just now that changed my mind. Just now, a strong man stronger than my horse! He passed by me in such a grand manner.
I saw some scary tattoos on his body!”
Everyone was silent, and Jia Z continued: "I saw in him the strength to beat people to death! I saw in him a contempt for the government and the court! By the way, his tattoo said,
Don’t be afraid of King Zhao Yin in life, don’t be afraid of King Yama in death!”
Everyone fell into a deathly silence. To be honest, people with such virtues can be found everywhere in Beicheng. They have all seen people who are more arrogant than this... Otherwise, why do you think they are called evil forces?
Jia Z continued: "He stared straight at me like that. It was so scary! Do you know what I was thinking at that time? I was thinking that he was not afraid of me, or that this body on my body represents the imperial power.
The python robe that represents the imperial court! He is afraid of the soldiers behind me! He is afraid of the sharp sword of the leader of my soldiers!"
Indeed, the nobles rarely go to Beicheng. On the one hand, it is dirty, messy and smelly, and there is nothing interesting. On the other hand, it is also because of this that the people here are crazy. They don't agree with each other or even look at each other.
He then went on a rampage to kill!
Who do they think you are, a prince or a prince? The life debt they carry is not lacking in you at all...
Having said that, the soldiers under Jia Z will not follow you and do as the Romans do! In their hearts, Jia Z is their faith! He is God! Whoever dares to humiliate and provoke their commander Yu will die!
So at this moment, all the soldiers under Jia Z's command were filled with murderous intent, almost all of their faces were filled with ferocious terror, and the handles of the swords they held in their hands were also creaking, and they were so frightened that they did not dare to make any move.
Jia Z glanced at the crowd, and then said in a deep voice: "Then I was thinking, this is still me, what if I am a commoner? What if I don't have these soldiers and expert guards? Is it because of this today?
If I look at him one more time, he will take off my head!"
The soldiers were even more excited after what he said. Jia Z loudly said: "You know, not everyone in Beicheng has soldiers! Everyone can do martial arts! If he is facing an unarmed commoner today,
, uu read the book, does that mean he is about to go on a rampage and kill someone?"
Jia Z angrily shouted: "Is there still king's law? Is there still heavenly justice? This is the emperor's feet! This is the capital of Yan! It's broad daylight! How dare crazy people kill people in the street?"
Jia Z sneered, and then roared: "So starting from today, we are going to rectify Beicheng! I don't want to see anyone like that virtuous man in Beicheng from now on! I don't care whether you are a dragon or a tiger!"
When you get to Shenjing City, you have to curl up and nestle for me! I will be your little snake and kitten!"
Jia Z said angrily: "Because this divine capital and even the whole world, only one true dragon is allowed! That is your Majesty! There is only one truth allowed, and that is the king's law!"
Jia Z pulled out the knife with a clatter, pointed at the flagpole on the side and said: "From today on, Beicheng only enforces two laws: kill for life! Pay debts for money! In addition, if there are violations of laws and disciplines, those who do not abide by them will
The Great Yan Law Orderer! There is such a tree!"
Jia Z shouted loudly and slashed down with his sword. The flagpole was chopped down immediately, and the remaining stake stood there alone. Jia Z said in a deep voice: "In troubled times, heavy flags should be used! From now on, Beicheng will crack down hard! Anyone who is beaten by someone is
It is recorded in the laws and regulations of Dayan that if anyone dares to commit a crime, he will not be tried by the Yamen, but will be beheaded if caught!"
Then Jia Z pointed to the remaining pile and sneered: "This flagpole will stay here! If anyone is a little bit jealous at heart, or wants to be as lawless and reckless as before! Come and take a look! Take a look.
Is your neck as hard as this stake?"
Jia Z said and put his knife on the pile, then snorted coldly and hurriedly walked off the stage. People in the crowd who looked at Jia Z's back couldn't help but have gloomy eyes...
