Seeing the officers and soldiers rushing into the gate recklessly and arrogantly, Bai Yi's face changed wildly and he quickly scolded him. However, those officers and soldiers obeyed orders, how could they take his words seriously? But maybe they all knew that Bai Yi's status was extraordinary, and Jia Lian did not give any orders. , no one caught him directly, they just pushed him aside and rushed into the gate.
"Master, what should I do..."
Bai Yi's sons were almost crying and hid behind Bai Yi in fear.
Seeing that the threat was useless, Bai Yi finally calmed down a bit. He seemed to know why Jia Lian came to trouble the Bai family, because Jia Lian mentioned the word "assassination".
He was not stupid, so he immediately knew that that idiot Wang Shanxiang must have taken action against Jia Lian, but it was obviously unsuccessful.
Even if it didn't succeed, if the angry Jia Lian wanted to vent his anger, he should go to Wang Shanxiang. Why did he come to the Bai family?
Pushing his useless son aside, Bai Yi stumbled forward and bowed to Jia Lian: "Everything depends on evidence. Even if the imperial envoy wants to accuse my Bai family, he must give my Bai family a reason. Such no reason, is it?" What’s the point?”
"You want evidence? Okay, I will give you the evidence. Bring it with you."
A dying middle-aged man wearing handyman clothes was dragged up by officers and soldiers.
"Slave, please pay homage to the master. I am incompetent and did not complete the task assigned by the master. Please forgive me..."
Seeing the unknown man in front of him, kowtowing to him as soon as he came up, and still talking like this, Bai Yi took a deep breath!
He understood the whole story almost instantly.
What a bastard and insidious villain, Wang Shanxiang, I hate you for troubling me!
"Where did you come from, you bitch? Do I know you? How did I ever tell you what you did? You damn bitch, how dare you accuse my Bai family for no reason, I will chop you up alive!"
Bai Yi angrily stepped forward to kill the man, but was blocked by officers and soldiers.
After Bai Yi figured out the end of the matter, he immediately let go of his pride. He immediately knelt down to Jia Lian and said, "Please be clear, sir. This person is not from my Bai family. In fact, someone is conspiring to frame my Bai family. He is also a man of desire." I'm trying to frame you against the Queen Mother. You must be aware of this, otherwise wouldn't you be falling into the trap of a traitor?
Even if I, the Bai family, have great courage, I would not dare to have the rebellious intention to assassinate you, Your Excellency."
Bai Yi didn't think about it, so he immediately threw Wang Shanxiang out and accused the Wang family of doing it.
But if he said this, even if Jia Lian believed it, wouldn't it also prove that the Bai family and the Wang family colluded to assassinate Jia Lian?
In this way, Jia Lian can use this as an excuse to take action against his Bai family.
Thinking of this, he hated Wang Shanxiang even more in his heart. He finally understood why Wang Shanxiang dared to frame him so blatantly. Was this obviously using his Bai family as a gunman?
He could even guess that Wang Shanxiang's arrogant old boy must feel that if he failed, he would put the blame on his Bai family. Even if Jia Lian was angry, he would definitely not dare to attack his Bai family!
Thinking of this, he didn't know whether to be proud or angry.
The current situation is that Jia Lian, a stupid young man, dares to attack the Bai family even though he knows that he is a member of the Bai family.
What a shame, neither my cousin the Queen Mother nor my cousin Bai Qi, the Marquis of Yangwu with a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, were in Jiangnan. Otherwise, how could he let Jia Lian be so arrogant!
"The witness is here, and you still want to deny it. Do you think I will believe it?"
Seeing the sneer on Jia Lian's face, Bai Yi thought for a moment and felt that if he were Jia Lian and caught the assassin on the spot, he would definitely not believe him based on what he said.
Turning his eyes, he took a closer look at the middle-aged man who looked like he was in love with death, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Hey, aren't you from Mr. Wang's side? I know your master well.
, I often saw you following your master when we got together in the past.
Yes, it’s you, that’s right. Although I don’t know your name, I know that you are from the Wang family.
Okay, I have no grudges against Wang Shanxiang in the past and have no grudges recently. Why did you collude to frame my Bai family?!"
The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he pulled at his pig-headed face with flesh and blood, and said loudly: "Nonsense, I don't know the master of the Wang family, and I have never been around him... Master, just do it, don't quibble anymore.
.
Didn't you say that if a little Jia Lian dares to bully our Bai family, you must teach him to look good?"

"Fuck your aunt..."
Bai Yi started a wrangling game with the middle-aged man.
Jia Lian watched coldly, but in fact he also had doubts in his heart about the Bai family sending someone to assassinate him.
For one thing, the Bai family is the most confident, so they shouldn't be unable to sit still and take action against him before others.
In addition, the most important thing was that he had just learned from Wu Zhirong that An Siyuan's son was in the hands of the Wang family. When he turned around, someone instigated Xu to assassinate him, and even threatened his son's life.
Jia Lian was slightly frightened when he heard Xu's statement. He almost understood the reason why the other party dared to do this when he heard the other party's plan.
It can only be said that fortunately he never really bullied other people's weak daughters and widowed mothers. The Xu family also volunteered to serve him, so she immediately reported him.
Otherwise, if he was careless and calculated with intention but without intention, the other party's plan would really have a chance of success.
But having said that, if he really did something like a beast, he would naturally not keep the Xu family and his daughter by his side, and would definitely take precautions against them.
All I can say is, good people are rewarded.
Not only did it save him from a crisis, but it also gave him a perfect reason to do what he originally wanted to do.
Therefore, following Xu's guidance, after catching the instigator and questioning the "mastermind", Jia Lian immediately led troops to surround the Bai family.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing Bai Yi's reaction at this time, and destroying the Wang family with one breath, Jia Lian certainly believed in him based on various judgments.
But...
"Stop arguing, do you think I will believe you if you put on such a show?
To tell you the truth, I have long found irrefutable evidence that your Bai family and Wang family sold illegal salt for profit in the past years. I originally thought that if you behave well and are willing to cooperate with the court's punishment, I won't mind letting you live.
Who would have thought that you guys are so audacious and don't know how to praise me? Then don't blame me for being unkind.
Therefore, even if you do not testify against the Wang family, I have already sent people to secretly surround the Wang family. You can rest assured that the fate of his Wang family will definitely not be better than that of your Bai family."
After Jia Lian said this, he got off his horse and seemed to want to enter the Bai family gate.
Bai Yi was really worried.
I just witnessed Jia Lian's raid on Zhao's house last night. If Jia Lian was really allowed to go in and raid his Bai's house, even if his cousin and others saved him in the end, all the family property he had worked hard to save over the past ten years would have been in vain.
.
At this juncture, Bai Yi couldn't care less and immediately said loudly: "Sir, wait a minute, the common people have something to say!"
Seeing Jia Lian stop, he immediately said: "After we left the Zhao family last night, we got together to discuss how to deal with you.
At that time, Wang Shanxiang was so bold that he wanted to get rid of you so that the imperial court could send another imperial envoy who was easy to bribe.
I don't dare to deceive you, sir. Although we don't agree with what he means, he speaks with certainty and seems to be fully confident.
Therefore, this matter must have been done by him instigating people to do it. He wanted to do harm to the adults and had nothing to do with the villains.
As long as you are willing to be open-minded, I, the Bai family, are not only willing to testify against the Wang family for you, but from now on, the Bai family is willing to do our best to cooperate with you, and I will not dare to have any different intentions. Please have mercy on me!
"
Bai Yi kowtowed heavily to the ground.
He wanted to resist with excuses before, but he was just relying on something. If the name of the Bai family really had no effect on Jia Lian and he wanted to take action against him, he was still afraid.
Jia Lian turned to look at him: "Are you serious?"
"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, you can call all the other five big salt merchants in Yangzhou and confront them face to face. If it proves that the villain is sophistry, I will be willing to let you have your way."
Jia Lian smiled.
With the Bai family's confession, these salt merchants were proven guilty of having evil intentions. In this way, he no longer had to work hard to collect evidence.
After believing, they will consciously cooperate with him and accept all his punishments.
Although with a little more effort, I am confident that I can keep these salt merchants in check, but who wouldn’t want to save some time and effort?
But, being able to accept his punishment also requires qualifications.
That Wang Shanxiang, whom he disliked in the first place, actually dared to attack him. It just so happened that the Zhao family alone seemed unable to suppress these salt merchants, so it seemed like they had to kill one more chicken.
Alas, why force him to take action and force the emperor to make a fortune?
