In the canal section of Shandong Province, something happened that shocked all the officials in the investigation team.
I stopped procrastinating my next trip for fear of having other troubles.
I don't know if Jia Cong's method of burning the ship was too harsh, or if some people tried to test the "determination" of the investigation team, but the subsequent trip turned out to be smooth sailing.
When the three official ships on which the investigation team arrived arrived at Jinling, the imperial minister, who had been ill and was unable to travel, also arrived at the boundary of Jinling at the same time.
The Jinling people gave him a very warm reception.
On the pier, the person leading the way was not Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling, nor the so-called representatives of the four major families in Jinling, nor the boss of the Jinling garrison, but Zhen Yingjia, the president of Tirenyuan, the real contemporary head of the Zhen family, the most powerful family in Jinling.
"Look, this person and the family behind him are the real number one in Jinling!"
The second-level and sixth-level chiefs of the chain, Jia Cong and Xue Pan were even more unqualified, and they were not qualified to get to the front, so they simply stood on the edge of the boat and gave comments.
The one who opened the mouth was naturally the vague leader, Jia Cong. Looking at the graceful and powerful Zhen Yingjia, he couldn't help but speak leisurely.
Lian Er and Xue Pan didn't say anything, but their expressions didn't look very good.
When he was bored on the boat, Xue Pan, the stupid overlord, was still talking about the four major families in Jinling and rumors such as "Jia Bujia, Bai Yu is the king's gold horse", but when he arrived at Jinling Pier, he was decisively slapped in the face by the cruel facts.
"Boss, you think too highly of the Zhen family. If the four major families in Jinling unite, can they still be inferior to the Zhen family?"
Xue Pan was very dissatisfied and directly expressed his thoughts: "I haven't seen how powerful the Zhen family is!"
Although Lian Er didn't say anything, his expression showed recognition.
"To be honest, if the four major families in Jinling unite, they may not be as powerful as the Zhen family!"
Jia Cong was not polite and sneered: "The four great families of Jinling cannot compete with just Concubine Zhengui and her prince!"
Ignoring the ugly faces of Xue Pan and Lian Er, he continued: "The Zhen family has been in charge of the Weaving Bureau for decades, and the previous salt administration of Yangzhou was also controlled by their family!"
"And their old lady who is close to the emperor, tsk tsk..."
Didn't I see that the chief officer of the investigation team on the dock treated Zhen Yingjia politely? If it were Prince Teng who came here, he might not receive such treatment.
"Don't be fooled by the term 'protective amulet'!"
This time, Jia Cong planned to ask Xue Pan and Lian Er to wake up completely. Otherwise, they would be in a state of disbelief after being praised a few times when they got to the shore. They would also be fooled by others and count the money for them.
Regardless of whether this is possible or not, his words are full of 'conspiracy': "Who knows if the so-called 'Guardian Talisman' is someone who forced the four major families of Jinling to come forward, or used such a handle to completely
Kidnap the four major families!"
These words were so shocking that Lian Er and Xue Pan turned pale with fright, and their little hearts beat wildly.
If you think carefully about what Jia Cong said, it is really possible!
Concubine Zhen Gui, who was in the Queen's Palace, had always been restless, and the prince below her, who could not forget the loss of the throne, was all frightened to the point of sweating at the thought of the horror.
"Okay, don't think too much, let's go down!"
At this moment, Jia Cong changed the topic and reminded before disembarking: "Brother Lian will follow the investigation team. Xue Pan and I will go meet the elders of the four major families!"
When he said this, his face was as calm as water, neither happy nor sad.
Lian Er and Xue Pan smiled bitterly. How could they not think more at this time?
After getting off the boat, Lian Er just raised his hands to the representatives of the Jia family in Jinling from afar, and then followed the investigation team to the inn.
Jia Cong and Xue Pan were directly surrounded by representatives of the four major families in Jinling on the dock.
"Are you Brother Cong, the concubine of the Rongguo Mansion?"
"Exactly, I wonder what you call it?"
Jia Cong's face was expressionless. Do you know what it means to hit someone without slapping him in the face? He even yelled "bastard of the big house" loudly. He really thought I had no temper.
At the same time, he felt very unhappy, and the Rongguo Mansion was determined not to write a letter specifically to inform the Jinling people of his identity.
But the other party shouted out in one breath, which is very thought-provoking.
"Brother Cong, just call me Uncle Seventh!"
The old man who spoke was filled with aura of wealth and wealth. He was dressed in silk and satin so that he was inconspicuous. He looked Jia Cong up and down with undisguised surprise in his eyes.
Ahem, I guess this old guy knew that Jia Cong was less than ten years old, so he was quite surprised when he saw that he was taller and stronger than an average adult man.
Of course, in addition to surprise, there was also undisguised contempt.
Damn it, we are all idiots, I don’t know where the sense of superiority comes from?
"Are you going to go to the inn with Brother Lian, or are you going to stay at the ancestral home for a few nights?"
The seventh uncle was not polite at all and asked directly: "By the way, I will come to my uncle's house tonight and introduce you to some uncles from the same clan. I also have something to explain!"
have to!
You said it so clearly, how can I go to the inn?
"Then the boy will go back to his ancestral home and make trouble for a few days!"
Jia Cong didn't show any pretense and directly agreed. When the investigation team arrived at the border of Jinling, it was impossible to quickly leave and rush to Yangzhou, which was not far away, to start formal work.
It can be imagined that what awaits the investigation team is absolutely a crazy silver bullet offensive and the boundless scenery of Wenrou Township. If one mistake is not made, it will be completely destroyed.
He turned around and said hello to his younger brother Xue Pan, and hired a total of fifty Xue family's capable thugs. No matter what, he couldn't weaken his momentum and let the Jinling people look down upon him.
Also, the Jinling people here gave him a very bad feeling, and he was afraid that it would be a struggle.
There are fifty capable Xue family thugs on his side. When some clan members want to take advantage of him, they have to consider the consequences first.
There is no way, who calls him just a bastard? Not only his status cannot control the Jinling people, but also his seniority is also at a disadvantage.
I didn’t see that boy Xue Pan. Did he become the center of the Xue family and his party when they arrived at the dock?
Who doesn’t know that the Xue Pan family has long since fallen out with the Jinling clan, but in front of outsiders, especially the fact that Xue Pan can sneak into the investigation team, the Xue clan in Jinling instantly forgets their past unpleasantness and becomes very enthusiastic.
I might as well just call him "Master".
This is the reality of Chi Luoluo!
Of course, Xue Pan was not really a fool. In front of the representatives of the four major families in Jinling, he directly ordered the No. 50 thug assigned to Jia Cong to obey the boss's instructions, otherwise he would not agree.
As for the threat in the subtext, the representatives of the four major families in Jinling could not hear it. They all looked at each other in shock and doubt. They didn't know what Jia Cong, the concubine of the Rongguo Mansion, had to ask Xue Pan to serve him carefully...
