Jia Qiang's sudden face turn was beyond everyone's expectation.

After all, the Mei family and the Xue family came to visit as in-laws.

The Mei family is related to the Xue family, the Xue family is related to the Jia family, and Lin Ruhai is the uncle of the Lin family...

With such a relationship, even if there are some quarrels, it won't be so decisive, right?

They don't know that Jia Qiang is a ruthless person in the Jia family, let alone these so-called relatives who are crippled.

When things have reached this point, Lin Ruhai and the Mei family, as well as Jia Qiang and the Mei family, have no relationship at all.

In this case, if you don't take the opportunity to defeat the Mei family, why don't you wait for the Mei family to calm down before dealing with them?

Of course, he would not do it himself, nor would he suggest Lin Ruhai do it himself. As long as he dragged the Mei family and his son into the water, someone would repay them.

It is true that all the Hanlin officials in the Hanlin Academy are known as prime ministers, but why are there so few who actually become great officials in the end?

It is because most Hanlins will not have smooth sailing on their way to rise, and most of them will be sniped away...

Just like what Jia Qiang did at this moment.

"How brave! Are you going to completely break my skin?"

Seeing two strong salt men with evil spirits approaching, wanting to "protect" Mei Huai when she went down, Mei Zhen became furious, slapped the table and got up and yelled angrily.

Jia Qiang's expression remained unchanged, she looked at Mei Zhen and said calmly: "Master Mei, if I am the only one who can make the decision, then if you come here and want to show favoritism, maybe I will accept it. After all, I am just a small person. But you also

I don’t want to think about it, my mentor Lin Yanyuan, and the Governor of Banshan Gonghan, which one of them is not a minister of the country who has pledged his life to the country? For the sake of the country and the country, and for the hundreds of millions of people, Banshan Gonghan traveled to the border and cold places for twenty-eight years, working hard and without complaint.

, the Qing Dynasty is known all over the world, and my husband, the fourth generation of princes, and a former convict Tan Hua Lang, what a noble family background, just because he devoted himself to sharing the worries of his father and emperor, stationed in Yangzhou for thirteen years, first his legitimate son died, and then his wife, including him

The old man himself almost sacrificed his life to serve the country, but he never complained.

For such a high-ranking official of the country, you, a noble official with a Hanlin background, should not come to express your condolences at all. This in itself is an insult to my husband. Now, in order to make up for you, I asked the son to take the opportunity to perform meritorious service, and you actually

Do you think this is a quarrel?"

Mei Zhen now fully understood the sinister face of the young man in front of her, and there was no chance left in her heart. She raised her hands and said, "It's my fault. I will impeach myself for this matter and ask the court to deal with it."

Please, Your Excellency, please return the ignorant dog."

Jia Qiang narrowed her eyes and chuckled: "If I do this, wouldn't I live up to your teacher's teachings? Master Mei, please come back. Master Ling is a meritorious minister. After Master Yanyuan recovers,

, he will be released after questioning him personally."

Upon hearing this, Mei Zhen's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, her eyes looked like knives at Jia Qiang, and she gritted her teeth and said, "When will Lin Yanyuan recover?"

Jia Qiang knew in her heart that the other party was afraid that he had already been cut into pieces, but she didn't care. Instead, she solemnly said: "According to the imperial doctor, it won't be more than a month at the latest, and things will get better a year ago."

Mei Zhen took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I will wait for the Yanyuan Yamen to release him in one month!"

He made up his mind, and after Mei Huai came back, he immediately wrote to Zhu Tongnian, his disciples, friends, masters, room masters and everyone who could get in touch with him to launch an impeachment against Lin Ruhai and Han Bin.

Whether he could succeed or not was one thing. He wanted to show his attitude to avoid these two people from using Mei Huai's words as a cover to attack the salt merchants.

If that were the case, the Mei family would become the target of attack by countless giants behind salt merchants.

As for this month...

Mei Zhen didn't believe that the Yanyuan Yamen dared to take action against the eight major salt merchants when Han Bin had already returned to Jinling and Lin Ruhai was half dead.

That old fox from the Qi family won’t agree either!

After Mei Zhen glanced at Jia Qiang coldly, she said to Xue Ming: "Brother Junli, since Mr. Lin of Yanyuan is the most important person and has no relatives, let's take our leave first."

Before Xue Ming could speak, Jia Qiang chuckled and said, "We can't talk to each other if we don't recognize our relatives. As long as they are not relatives who come here with selfish intentions, my master and I are still willing to entertain them, such as Uncle Xue."

When Xue Ming heard this, his expression changed slightly. Under Mei Zhen's knife-like eyes, he coughed twice and said with a smile: "I'd better forget it..."

Before she finished speaking, Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows and said: "Second Uncle Xue, your nephew Xue Pan and Xue Wenlong are at the Yamen at the moment. He suffered some minor injuries. Don't you want to see Uncle Xue?"

Xue Ming was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that Xue Pan would be here.

When Mei Zhen saw Xue Ming's expression, she knew that he was being targeted today. She snorted coldly, flicked her sleeves, and turned to leave.

…

"Brother Pan, why are you here?"

In the guest room, Xue Ming supported his father and looked at Xue Pan lying on the bed pretending to be dead. Xue Ming asked in a deep voice.

When he came in, he looked at Xue Pan several times from beginning to end. Except for a bandage on his forehead, everything else was fine.

The key point is that Xue Pan has a shiny face and a fat head. He doesn’t look like the dying person he appears to be...

Seeing that he couldn't pretend, Xue Pan laughed dryly, but still insisted "powerlessly": "Second uncle, I came down south to do business..."

"Doing business, what business should we do?"

Xue Ming knew this nephew so well that he didn't believe a word he said.

Naturally, Xue Pan didn't dare to tell Xue Ming that he went out of the capital to hide from the limelight because he spent one hundred thousand taels to buy an oiran and couldn't survive in the capital. He had always been careless, but now he had an idea and actually came up with the idea.

What an excuse!

I saw him saying with a sad and slightly exaggerated expression: "Second uncle, I don't know, my family has been cheated by the people below!"

Seeing him like this, Xue Ming frowned and said, "Who are you below? What happened?"

Xue Pan said "Alas" and cursed: "That arrogant Zhang Dehui, my mother and I trusted him so much that we entrusted him with all our affairs. We thought he was a good person, but we didn't know he was also a rebellious one!

"

Xue Ming was startled when he heard this and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! Zhang Dehui has been working in the Xue family since your grandfather was born. He has done his duty. Your father even entrusted him with important tasks before he died. How can he be rebellious?"

Xue Pan was furious when he heard this. He didn't pretend to be dead anymore. He sat up and said loudly: "Is he still good? If it weren't for Brother Qiang, even I would have been deceived by him. In the past few years, various provinces have handed over

The accounts were getting smaller and smaller, and I felt something was wrong. Later I found out that the two bastard sons Zhang Dehui actually reported losses for three consecutive years."

Xue Ming's face became solemn when he heard this. After coughing a few times, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Even if this is the case, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is corruption, right?"

Although he said this to Xue Pan, he looked at Jia Qiang.

What he still doesn't understand until now is that Jia Qiang must be the one behind this matter.

Regarding this, Xue Ming became increasingly vigilant!

However, Jia Qiang seemed to have heard nothing and had no intention of explaining.

Xue Pan continued loudly: "He didn't admit it at first, but Brother Qiang and I told him that if he doesn't behave himself, we will send the shopkeeper and the accountant to check the accounts. If we really want to find out, we will have to kill them all to rebel.

What a fucking bitch! He just admitted it and brought his two sons here, claiming that they had embezzled 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. I admitted it at first, but then I thought about it, it was just money. They have been greedy for money over the years.

, don’t you want to buy a house, a shop, or a village? After further questioning, it turns out that Zhang Fu and Zhang Gui have embezzled 120,000 to 30,000 yuan together! Second uncle, do you think it would be possible if I didn’t come?

? You also said you would take care of it for me..."

When Xue Ming heard this, a look of shame appeared on his pale face, and he coughed even more.

His son Xue Biao was not active, so he said: "Brother, my father's health has been getting worse year by year in recent years. Now he is bedridden for most of the time. Even if he has this intention, it is really difficult to take care of him. Could you please help me?"

Cousin, please forgive me."

Hearing this, Xue Pan quickly stood up, stepped forward to help Xue Ming and complained: "Since my second uncle is so ill, why didn't you write to me earlier? I will recruit famous doctors for you, my eldest nephew. Xue Pan can't do anything."

…”

Seeing him like this, Xue Ming felt somewhat relieved and said with a smile: "You are only a little older. It would be great if you can take good care of your mother and your sister."

Xue Pan was unhappy when he heard this and said: "Second uncle looks down on people. I started to set up a family when I was ten years old, and I still can't take care of you? Second uncle, don't look down on others. It's not me who praises myself. Now

Xue Bao can't compare to me."

Xue Ming chuckled and coughed a few more times, which became more and more fierce. He covered it with a handkerchief for a long time, and then took out the handkerchief and took a look. The bright red patch really stung people's eyes.

When Xue Biao saw this, he immediately fell to his knees and burst into tears.

Xue Pan was startled when he saw this and shed tears: "How did it get to this point? Is this even possible? Is this even possible?"

These days, coughing and vomiting blood is basically the same as deciding to make a decision.

Although Xue Ming was his father's brother-in-law, he separated early and went out to live alone.

But in Xue Pan's view, he was still his second uncle no matter what.

In the years when his father was gone, if it hadn't been for the help of his second uncle to support him, Fengzi would have been gone long ago.

His mother was also worried that Xue Ming would invade Feng Zihao's family business and was secretly wary of it. However, over the years, Xue Ming had never had any ill intentions towards Feng Zihao.

Although such an uncle is a concubine, he still loves and respects him in his heart.

Xue Ming seemed to have forgotten everything. Although it seemed to be getting more serious and it was difficult to breathe, he still managed to squeeze out a smile on his face and said slowly: "Originally, the person I was most worried about was Pan'er. You used to

... It has never been very safe. But I didn’t expect that now I am old enough to take on the trouble. From now on, you must take good care of your mother and your sister, and don’t cause trouble again, so that you can live a good life. If this is the case, your elder brother’s spirit in heaven will also be at ease.

Already."

These words brought tears to Xue Pan's eyes, and he cried: "Second uncle, don't say that, it sounds like you are going to die soon. I'm going to find a famous doctor for you now... Huh?"

Xue Pan suddenly became excited, turned around and looked at Jia Qiang, and said excitedly: "Brother Qiang, has the imperial doctor who treated your father-in-law left?"

"..."

Jia Qiang was simply shocked and asked: "What did you say? Who are you treating?"

Xue Pan slapped his brain and said: "She is the person who treats the Jinsha Gang leader. Isn't his daughter your concubine? There is also the imperial doctor who treats Linyanyuan... Can you please come and save my second uncle?"

Jia Qiang looked at Xue Ming, and Xue Ming nodded and said, "I'll go and invite you. I can't guarantee whether it will work or not."

…
