"Your Excellency, you are being too rude. If you have something to say, please speak up. We are all educated people. How can we be so rude?"

In the side hall, a young man who was on good terms with the Feng family, or wanted to show favor to the Feng family, stood up and criticized.

Jia Qiang was wiping her palms with a handkerchief. After hearing this, she looked at this person with raised eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?"

The speaker said vaguely and proudly: "I am Bai Ziqing of the Bai family."

Jia Qiang sneered and said, "Then do you know who I am?"

Bai Ziqing's smile was a little weird, and he said: "Aren't you a relative of the Censor of the Yanyuan Yamen? Or are you from the capital..."

Jia Qiang said calmly: "The ancestor of our family is Ning Guogong, the eighth Duke of the founding of the country. I am the successor of Wu Xun. The Jia family has always used martial arts to pass down the family. What's wrong with me beating the dog that blocks the way?"

Since he was forcefully forced back to the Jia family by the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Long'an, if something happened to the Jia family in the future, it would be impossible for him to escape, so wouldn't it be stupid to give up such a little convenience?

Therefore, Jia Qiang does not refuse to use the name of her ancestors to do small things.

"you……"

Bai Ziqing was paused when he heard the words. He really didn't think about it.

Because the Great Yan Dynasty had been in peace for too long, most of the military officials and nobles were restrained in Beijing and were not allowed to have private relations with foreign ministers. In fact, it had little influence on the outside world.

But when a martial arts disciple comes out and uses force to solve a problem, it is indeed not rude.

It's just that in Yangzhou Prefecture, the unfamiliar Wu Xun is just an alien who doesn't act according to the mainstream rules of the world, and no one will like him...

Jia Qiang naturally understood this truth. He put away the handkerchief after wiping his palms and said calmly: "Although I am a martial artist, I am also a scholar. The reason why I don't reason with them is because of the difference between right and wrong.

, this is discussed with gentlemen, not with despicable little people. Today, although I am a junior, I was placed in a side hall when Mr. Lin, the censor of the Yanyuan, came to wish the old lady of the Mei family a birthday...

...I don’t need to elaborate on who is right and wrong here. The Feng family is despicable and shameless, and equates my departure with looking down on you. For such people, should I be allowed to explain the truth to them? I am willing to reason with you,

I am not a domineering and tyrannical person. But if you can deal with a villain, it is better to do it with your hands."

As soon as this statement came out, most of the others nodded secretly.

Only the Mei family looks extremely ugly. The Feng family is a villain, so what has become of the Mei family? Even worse than a villain?

But there was no need to wait for him to say anything, as Mei Xun, Mei Jiu, Feng Jian and other top figures in Yangzhou Prefecture appeared outside the foyer.

Feng Jian prided himself on being an upright man and always taught his children strictly, doting only on these twins who were born from a concubine.

At this moment, when they saw Feng Zuo and Feng You, they were knocked to the ground. Although their faces were bleeding, they didn't even dare to scream. They felt distressed and furious at the same time, and shouted: "What a cruel method!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Mei Xun and said angrily: "Brother Mei, the Mei family must explain what happened today to my Feng family!"

Mei Xun's original intention was to take today's opportunity to distance himself from the Yanyuan Yamen that was about to be abolished. Secondly, he also wanted to make good friends with the Feng family, Xu family and other local prominent families who have been in power in the Yamen for generations.

I don’t want to, but it’s still messed up after all, and it’s still like a chicken flying over an egg...

Now, I was forced to make a choice.

Mei Xun looked at Jia Qiang with gloomy eyes, and Jia Qiang looked at Mei Xun as if he was a retarded person.

Seeing Jia Qiang's provocative gaze, Mei Xun became even more furious and said in a deep voice: "Even if you are a high-ranking student in the capital, don't you know how to greet your elders when you see them?"

Jia Qiang's eyes became more and more contemptuous, and she said: "My teacher Lin Yushi and Mr. Fu Weng are friends of the same generation. Who here is my elder? The Mei family is really dazzled and can't even recognize people." After a pause, he continued.

He sneered and said: "Today we found out that the Mei family's style is very good. Could you please send someone behind to ask Aunt Mei if you want to go back to the Yamen with me now, or will Yanyuan Yamen send someone to pick her up later?"

"Don't use the Yanyuan Yamen to oppress people. The Emperor has decreed that the Yanyuan Yamen will be abolished. From now on, the salt affairs will be under the control of the Governor of Liangjiang! You hurt someone at Mei's house today. If you don't give an explanation, you can't even think of leaving!"

When Mei Jiu saw that Jia Qiang looked down upon the Mei family, she could no longer suppress her anger and yelled in a hissing voice.

When Jia Qiang heard this, she suddenly realized that this was the case!!

But then, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud!

Lin Ruhai sent him and Aunt Mei to Meiyuan to celebrate her birthday at this time, which was clearly showing his love for the house and Wu, and also showed his attitude to protect the Mei family.

He is leaving soon and will return to Beijing to take up a post.

But even if he returns to Beijing, will he still protect the Mei family?

With his achievements over the years and his contacts in Jiangnan official circles over the years, is it difficult to protect the Mei family?

The Mei family only knew that Lin Ruhai had not paid much attention to them these years. He had not visited them for many years and seemed to despise them at all...

But they didn't want to think about it. If they really didn't have Lin Ruhai's influence, how could they have developed the Mei family to what it is today with just this bunch of idiots?

Because of the different vision patterns, people's stupidity has no bottom line.

After finally finding out the reason, Jia Qiang didn't bother to stay here any longer. She looked at Mei Jiu with cold eyes and said sarcastically: "Explain to me, is your Mei family worthy of me to explain to you?"

At this time, a 17 or 18-year-old young master in brocade clothes in the side hall stood up and said with a smile: "I was leaving just now, but Feng Zuo and Feng You insisted on stopping me from leaving, and said some offensive words.

, it was the two of them who made the first move, but their skills were not as good as others..."

"Xu Zhen, shut up!"

The face of Xu Minghe, the head of the Xu family, changed drastically, and he shouted sternly: "How do you, a little beast, know so much?"

The young man named Xu Zhen smiled and said no more.

After Jia Qiang glanced sideways at him, she heard Mei Xun say calmly: "Since it was you who hurt someone, you should kowtow to Master Feng first and admit your mistake, and then go to the guest room to wait for the birthday banquet.

After this is over, I will personally take you back to the Yanyuan Yamen and ask Mr. Lin to discipline you. When a prince breaks the law, the common people are guilty as well. I think Mr. Lin will not show favoritism."

After saying that, Mei Jiu sneered, waved back, and four powerful slaves immediately came in and stepped forward to take Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiangsheng laughed angrily, almost unable to complain, and said: "It seems that my uncle's methods have been too merciful in recent years... What do your Mei family think? Even if my uncle is no longer the salt patrol censor,

, he is probably going back to Beijing to get promoted, and it’s not like he failed, are you out of your mind?"

Mei Jiu said impatiently: "Our Mei family doesn't care whether he is promoted or defeated. We have not received any favor from him in these years, and he has never entered the gate of our Mei family."

Now Jia Qiang understands the Mei family's thoughts more and more. The Mei family actually thinks that they have never accepted Lin Ruhai's favor!

Now that Lin Ruhai is leaving, they probably won't get any benefits in the future, so why are they so cold to him?

That’s not right. Being cold and relatively cold doesn’t mean you can reach this level. This is something you want to show others!

To whom? To the Feng family? To the salt merchant?

Jia Qiang looked at everyone in the Mei family and sneered in her heart. The Mei family was afraid that they felt they had not inherited Lin Ruhai's benefits, so now they did not want to bear Lin Ruhai's enemies...

After thinking about this, he was completely speechless at the Mei family's idiots who were always thinking about things in the sky.

However, looking at the four strong men who were about to kneel down to take him, Jia Qiang sneered, then stepped forward, locked Mei Xun's throat, and sneered at Mei Jiu, whose expression changed greatly.

He said: "Upstairs in the Zuixian Tower in the capital, the Supreme Emperor still allows me to be an idler for the rest of my life. Except for the king of heaven and earth, my relatives and teachers, the rest of the people are not allowed to kneel. Are you guys like chickens and dogs worthy of letting me kneel down and apologize? Give it to me.

Get out of here!"

Numerous people in Yangzhou City were shocked by the desperado behavior of Jia Qiang.

It's not that they haven't seen desperadoes before, they even have a group of them under their command.

But when did anyone dare to act recklessly in front of them?

Could it be said that all people from the capital are so aggressive?

I remember that when Lin Ruhai came to Yangzhou at the beginning of the year and took charge of the Yanyuan Yamen, the eight major salt merchants were as rich as the country. They even donated money to welcome the emperor. The emperor praised his achievements highly. Who would take a scholar seriously?

But he never thought that after just half a year of dormancy, Lin Ruhai would use thunderous means to destroy two sects in a row, causing shock in the south of the Yangtze River.

Nowadays, Lin Ruhai's disciple is even more rough than him.

The two young masters of the Feng family who were beaten first fell to the ground with their faces covered in blood. They also cursed the dignified Yangzhou family of the Mei family, and now they are directly taking the head of the Mei family as a hostage...

So tough and tough, it’s eye-opening!

"Jia Qiang, are you crazy? Why don't you let him go quickly! If my elder brother makes any mistake, you will never leave the plum garden today!"

When Mei Jiu, Mei Gu and other members of the Mei family saw that Mei Xun was being held in a chokehold, their eyes were about to burst, and they wished they could peel off Jia Qiang's skin and bones, and shouted fiercely.

The Feng family, Xu family and the four major salt merchants also spoke one after another:

"Let the people go first!"

"What a shame, let go quickly!"

"How bold! This is Yangzhou Prefecture, not a place for you to run wild. Let go immediately, otherwise..."

"What else?"

Before Bai Yuan, the head of the Bai family, could finish speaking, he heard a cold voice behind him.

Everyone looked back, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Chen Rong, the censor of Yanyuan Yamen, no longer has the gentleness and elegance of the past. Instead, he has an astonishing evil spirit.

Behind him, followed a group of more than a hundred fierce salt men, holding shackles and locks, looking like tigers and wolves.

Seeing Chen Rong like this, the Mei family was so stunned that they lost their voice for a moment. Feng Jian stepped out and said, "Brother Mian, what do you mean by this?"

The head of the Bai family was nervous and questioned: "Mr. Chen, as far as I know, the emperor has passed the decree to reduce the Yanyuan Yamen. The Governor of Liangjiang was promoted to Yamen in Jiangning yesterday. The decree has been achieved. It seems that the Yanyuan Yamen has not mobilized Yanyuan Yamen.

Ding’s power, right?”

Chen Rong looked stern and said in a deep voice: "The Governor is at the Yanyuan Yamen at the moment. This order is the first government order issued by the Governor after he took charge of salt affairs."

"What is the order?!"
