After Jia Cong comforted the old housekeeper Lin, he also returned to the small courtyard where he lived temporarily to rest. The next step was the main event.
Although I don't know that Lin Ruhai's heart was turned upside down at this time, but I could guess a thing or two, so I didn't care too much.
As long as Lin Ruhai is not stupid and the two of them don't completely fall out in the future, there is basically no need to worry about big mouth incidents. This is the basic rule of life.
Besides, even if Lin Ruhai preaches it privately, someone has to believe it.
When he saw the invitation card with exquisite materials and workmanship placed on the desk, a strange smile appeared on his face.
These guys obviously have their backs up!
The next day, Lin Ruhai said he was ill, so Jia Cong went straight to the posthouse when he had some free time. He found Lian Er's invitation and flashed it, asking: "Brother Lian Er, do you want to come with me and see the methods of the Yangzhou salt merchants?"
"
"Let's forget it!"
Lian Er smiled bitterly, waved his hands and said: "I don't have the big heart of my third brother, and I can't stand the stimulation of those salt merchants!"
Although he was kept in the dark, he was not stupid. How could he not feel the solemn atmosphere of the coming rain?
Only a few officers in charge of the investigation team knew about Lin Ruhai's encounter with three waves of robbers during his inspection, and Lian Er didn't know about it yet.
Otherwise, he would have guessed that the invitation from the Yangzhou Salt Merchant would definitely be up to no good!
They even dared to ambush the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor. What if they went crazy and took the opportunity to deal with the brothers?
"That's fine!"
Jia Cong nodded and smiled: "Brother Lian, just stay in the post house and don't go anywhere. No matter what rumors you hear, don't believe it. Things will be over soon!"
After saying that, he handed over and left, leaving Lian Er confused.
However, he still followed Jia Cong's advice. Although he felt a little disappointed, there was nothing he could do about it.
There are some things that he really can't afford to get involved in, and he doesn't want to get involved at all.
No matter what the plans of his third brother Jia Cong and his uncle Lin Ruhai, there is absolutely no danger to him. This is something he can be sure of.
My heart was a little complicated. After my third brother arrived in Yangzhou, he became more and more wanton and high-spirited, which made him feel like he didn't recognize him.
Maybe, maybe, when he was in the Rongguo Mansion in the capital, this person had been hiding his true temperament?
After thinking about the messy situation in the mansion, even he himself couldn't tell what the situation was in the mansion, so he couldn't expect the third brother, a bastard, to perform outstandingly.
I'm afraid that the old lady and the second lady are the first to refuse!
…
At noon, the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Yangzhou was peaceful, completely free of the hustle and bustle of the same time in the past.
Today, the Yangzhou Salt Merchant Association has reserved the entire restaurant in a big way. The entire restaurant is very tightly protected by the salt merchants' guards. No unrelated people are allowed to approach. The attitude is so overbearing that people can tell that the atmosphere is not right at the first sight.
There was a heavy rain yesterday, the sky was blue and the breeze was slightly moist and cool. It was a good day for an outing.
Jia Cong arrived at the appointment on time. The fifty Xue family thugs around him were in high morale and fierce, and there were twenty patrol salt censor Yamen guards guarding the formation. The momentum of the Jingjiehu was undoubtedly revealed.
"Young Master Cong, what are you..."
The wealthy young man who posted the poster greeted me at the gate. When he saw Jia Cong's men forcibly occupying half of the gate, he suddenly had a stiff smile on his face and said unhappily.
"Damn, it's already here, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?"
Jia Cong, however, was not polite and said with a smile: "Isn't this the 'Hongmen Banquet'? If I don't bring more young people here, it's hard to say whether I can leave without a trace!"
Without waiting for the wealthy young man who greeted him at the door to defend himself, he took this guy by the hand and walked in together. He said with a smile, "I know your kid doesn't have such deep thoughts, so it's better not to speak carelessly and embarrass yourself!"
This is really rude!
The key to making a wealthy young man so angry was that he was taught a lesson by a boy less than ten years old, and he didn't have many reasons to refute.
Is the matter obvious? Since the Salt Merchants Association took action yesterday, it has completely opposed Jia Cong. The next step is a competition of real strength.
Jia Cong actually dared to accept the invitation and come to the door. This courage alone was enough to make the wealthy young man who greeted him at the door admire him.
Sure enough, after entering the lobby of the restaurant, there were no delicacies or courtesans, only a group of salt merchants with extraordinary magnanimity.
Tsk…
Without even trying to cover it up, these guys were either really in a hurry, or they had completely torn apart their previous pretense and revealed their predatory nature.
"Everyone, why bother asking me to come here?"
Jia Cong showed no fear at all. He motioned to the Xue family dogleg behind him to bring a chair and sit down, and asked lightly.
His calm demeanor and demeanor that was neither humble nor arrogant immediately attracted the attention of all the big salt merchants in Yangzhou.
Damn it, the boy in front of you is really not even ten years old?
Or is it true that the upbringing in Rong Guofu is so powerful that it can cultivate a monster like the boy in front of him?
No, the news coming from the capital shows that Rongguo Mansion is in a stage of rapid decline, and there is not a single person who can get on the stage?
As for Jia Cong, he is just a concubine of the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion. He is inconspicuous at all, just like a transparent person.
Oh, this guy has been making some waves recently. He wrote a book called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at a young age, which I heard caused a huge sensation in the capital.
But that's all the information coming from the capital.
The impression that Jia Cong gave to salt merchants did not match at all!
A boy who can be taken care of by that old fox Lin Ruhai deserves the attention of salt merchants.
I haven’t seen that Jia Lian, the legitimate son of the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, is far superior to Jia Cong, the concubine, in terms of background and apparent status, but in reality?
The Yangzhou salt merchant had great supernatural powers and already knew what happened on the official ship of the canal. It was obvious that Jia Lian, the older legitimate son, was not as decisive as the boy in front of him, and his performance was much worse.
Obviously, if you want to convey some important information to Lin Ruhai through the children of the Jia family, the boy in front of you is the best choice.
"Haha, Mr. Jia's magnanimity is really amazing!"
Among the large salt merchants, the middle-aged man in fine clothes who was sitting at the head of the table said with a smile: "Master Jia must have heard of Hao's name!"
"certainly!"
Jia Cong didn't show any pretense and admitted it directly with a smile.
Hao Youqian, the president of the Yangzhou Salt Merchant Association, is definitely a top figure in Jiangnan. Not to mention his own terrifying wealth, the resources he can mobilize are even more terrifying.
Damn it, just because of the name Ya, it’s hard even if you don’t have money!
Of course, this is just a joke. Being able to become the president of the Yangzhou Salt Merchants Association and be recognized by a group of big salt merchants with great wealth and power, one's own abilities and means, as well as the strength behind it, are so amazing that even Lin Ruhai doesn't dare to
