Chapter 147: Disaster on the door and monthly ticket)
I originally thought that the private reminder from Jinyang officials was just an excuse.
Regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, local officials do not like the kind of superiors who are ordered to investigate. The most troublesome are those who are unwilling to let go and have a tough attitude.
The second level of Lian is not high, but he can be regarded as a junior in the Ministry of Punishment. At least he has the power to dictate matters in Xishan Prison.
If he insists on going to the trouble to visit the 'people's sentiments', it's not easy for the prosecutor's office to stop him, but don't expect them to actively cooperate.
I just didn’t expect that this was actually true!
On this day, a steward from the Xue family's caravan rushed to Jinyang Posthouse with a face full of panic. When he saw Jia Cong, he immediately knelt down and begged: "Third Young Master, please save my master!"
"what happened?"
Jia Cong was taken aback and hurriedly helped the steward up and asked curiously: "What happened to Xue Pan? Please explain it clearly!"
Even though Xue Pan is just his younger brother, he is truly the head of the Jinling Xue family and part-time head of the family.
Because this guy couldn't bear the pain of getting up early every day to exercise, he found an excuse to go on a business trip with his caravan, and by the way, he also opened up the trade route in Xishan.
Jia Cong didn't keep this guy close to him, because he had some selfish motives.
If something goes wrong with Chain 2 and he is trapped in Jinyang, Xue Pan, who is out on business, is the best messenger.
I just didn't expect that things were calm here in Jinyang and Lian Er lived happily all day long, but something happened to Xue Pan.
"Third Young Master, I and my caravan encountered bandits in Ping'an Prefecture. Not only were all the goods robbed, but all the people were detained!"
The steward of the Xue family reported in a panic, and then begged: "Third Young Master, please find a way to rescue my master as soon as possible. As time goes by, maybe..."
The following words were not spoken, but the meaning was already very obvious.
"Don't worry, I'll go find someone for help right away!"
The situation was urgent, and no one knew whether the gang of bandits would break up the fight. Jia Cong immediately found Lian Er and asked him to go to the Procuratorate and Procuratorate to ask for help. By the way, he also reported to the Yamen of the Provincial Envoy of Chengcheng to request assistance.
At the same time, Jia Cong also found a famous martial arts star in Jinyang whom he had recently met, as well as several heroes in the world with whom he had a good relationship.
Please use their influence to contact the gang of daring bandits in Ping'an Prefecture, hoping that they can release the person.
The entire officialdom of Jinyang suddenly started to move because of this incident.
No matter what, I still have to give some face to the poor people in the Ministry of Punishment.
Bandits actually appeared in Ping'an Prefecture and robbed a large caravan with all the people and goods. Such a thing is not to say sensational, but it is also quite shocking.
At least, the big officials in Xishan officialdom who suddenly heard the news were quite shocked and angry.
It’s just a slap in the face by Chi Luoluo!
Even the caravans of people with connections in the Ministry of Justice dared to rob. Does that mean that even the government personnel dared to target the gang of daring bandits?
Not to mention giving face to Lian Er, the superior of the Criminal Department, even if it was just to avoid other accidents, the bandits who appeared in Ping'an Prefecture could not be let go.
Today they dare to rob a regular caravan. No one can guarantee whether this group of bandits will be bolder?
If Lian Er is upset and talks crookedly after returning to Beijing, although the big officials in Xishan officialdom say they are not afraid, there is no need to take risks.
Also, where is Ping'an Prefecture?
It is an important frontier area, where a large number of frontier troops are stationed, facing the threat of aliens on the grasslands beyond the frontier, and nothing should happen here.
Once something happens in the hinterland of Ping'an Prefecture and shakes the morale of the border troops, all the big officials in Xishan's officialdom may have to pay a heavy price.
Of course, there are a lot of troops stationed in Ping'an Prefecture, and they are all frontier troops with amazing combat effectiveness. The appearance of bandits here is actually quite strange.
Just like in Water Margin, there is no big thief in the northwest.
In this important place of border defense, how can there be any room for little commotion at night?
So, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple.
"Third brother, should we give the governor of Ping'an Prefecture a card bearing your name?"
The incident happened so suddenly that Lian Er was not in the mood to eat, drink or have fun, so he went directly back to his temporary residence in the post house. When he saw Jia Cong, he directly proposed.
"Don't worry yet!"
Jia Cong waved his hand and asked curiously: "Who gave you this suggestion, but it doesn't mean well!"
"How to say?"
Lian Er was startled and asked a little puzzled: "Isn't this a normal thing?"
"Normal shit!"
Jia Cong said angrily: "Ping'an Prefecture is an important border town, and Jiedushi is in charge of elite border troops. If your contact with it is known to outsiders, I will charge you with communicating with foreign officials. Don't talk about you, Brother Lian."
, even the master and the general’s mansion must be destroyed!”
In the original work of Red Mansions, among the many crimes committed by the eldest brother, the most serious one was colluding with foreign officials, and the so-called foreign officials who colluded were the Jiedu envoys of Ping'an Prefecture.
Otherwise, we can see the outcome of the second master in politics. The eldest master will be dismissed from his official position at most, and his crime will not be as serious as being exiled to the border area.
It's just a pity that there is an additional crime of colluding with foreign officials. The nature and consequences are completely different. No matter who is the emperor, this is taboo, and the wrongdoers will not be spared.
hehe……
Just think about it, the Rongguofu raider, who is well-connected in the army, colludes with the Ping'an Prefecture Jiedu envoy who holds an elite frontier army. Which emperor would not be afraid?
"No, it can't be!"
Lian Er suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his rosy face turned pale, and he stuttered when he spoke: "It can't be, it can't be so serious!"
"hey-hey……"
Rolling his eyes and sneering, Jia Cong said angrily: "If you're not afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. From now on, I'll also keep my second brother's own name cards!"
When I said this, I remembered the plot in the original novel Red Mansions, where Feng Lazi borrowed Lian Er's famous post to win the lawsuit, and I felt it was quite ridiculous.
"Then, then, won't Xue Pan be saved?"
Lian Er swallowed his saliva and asked subconsciously: "I'm afraid it's hard to explain to Aunt Xue!"
"Didn't the guy who gave you the advice tell Brother Lian that what happened this time was very weird?"
Jia Cong did not answer the question and sneered: "There are bandits who dare to rob a large caravan in the important town of Bian. Hehe, I really think others are fools!"
After saying that, he stood up and said loudly: "This time, I will go out personally and bring the ten guards given by the master, plus that boy Wangcai!"
The eyes flashed with excitement, which was the warrior's desire to fight on the battlefield.
Because of his favorable living environment, Jia Cong has never taken risks and honed his martial arts skills by fighting in battles. Instead, he has gradually improved step by step. Of course, his strength is not improving at a slow rate.
During these days in Jinyang, when I competed with local martial arts celebrities and heroes, it was just a competition, and I rarely resorted to deadly attacks.
The exercise effect is good, but compared to a real battlefield, it is naturally less tense and less stressful to survive and the threat of death that exists all the time.
Unexpectedly, there is now an opportunity to participate in the fight in person...
He must save this little brother Xue Pan.
As for the bandits in Ping'an Prefecture, he is also confident that he can kill them all in a small-scale fight, no matter who plays the role of these bandits.
"Third brother, third brother, what are you, what are you..."
Seeing Jia Cong's murderous attitude, Lian Er was frightened and shouted in panic: "Don't mess around!"
"What does Brother Lian say we should do?"
"Let's wait for the outcome of the negotiations with the senior officials from Xishan!"
"I'm not in a rush to kill, let's prepare for the worst first!"
After appeasing Lian Er, Jia Cong went out directly, greeted the young man Wangcai, and the ten guards supported by the great master, and hurried to the home of a certain Jianghu hero who had been entrusted and was about to go to Ping'an Prefecture to make peace.
"Brother Jia, what are you..."
"Brother, don't be offended. I am also a friend who is worried about being detained. I want to go to Ping'an Prefecture with me. Is it possible?"
"Okay, since Brother Jia has such courage, I naturally have nothing to say, but if I can make peace, it's best not to take action!"
"I understand, then thank you bro!"
In this way, Jia Cong and his entourage followed Jinyang's tycoons and drove at high speed, arriving at the border of Ping'an Prefecture in just a few days.
As expected, it is indeed an important place in the border town. The atmosphere is completely different from the peaceful and peaceful Jinyang. There is a chilling atmosphere in the air.
What's even more special is that the pedestrians walking on the road are all strong and strong men, and even the women are very strong.
They looked tough, some even had a hint of blood, and they obviously had a lot of lives on their hands.
Jinyang's wealthy people were accustomed to it and didn't have any special reaction. It was obvious that they were already familiar with the atmosphere of Ping'an Prefecture.
On the other hand, the ten guards who came with Jia Cong, as well as the young man's prosperous expression, had become a little unnatural since entering Ping'an Prefecture, with a hint of nervousness and excitement.
Jia Cong didn't feel anything at all. He had martial arts skills and a murderous intention. This was no joke, especially for a person with such great external skills as him. The chilling atmosphere in the border town could not affect him at all.
"You all should relax, don't scare yourself out of nowhere, it will be embarrassing!"
Obviously, verbal comfort has little effect.
When it was time to rest at night, Jia Cong simply drilled these guys so hard that they were so exhausted that they had no time to think.
When I woke up the next day, everyone was in high spirits, and the original uneasiness was gone.
What a bunch of bastards!
A local snake is a local snake. Jinyang's tycoon quickly contacted the group of bandits through friends in Ping'an Prefecture as quickly as possible and expressed his intention to make peace.
The bandits didn't know whether they were arrogant or had other motives, but they quickly agreed to meet. The location happened to be next to the official road where they robbed the Xue family's caravan.
Obviously, this is a demonstration by Chi Luoluo!
At the same time, through public information channels in restaurants and tea shops, Jia Cong also found out that the group of bandits not only targeted the Xue family caravan, but also robbed many passing business travelers. It can be said that they have an outstanding reputation.
.
"Brother Jia, you have to be patient when you get there. If you can make peace, it's best to make peace. If you can't reach an agreement, it's not too late to take action!"
The tycoon of Jinyang's world never forgot to warn him before setting off...
