Chapter 194 The Mei family, the righteous!(1/2)
The real order in Yangzhou City is not actually maintained by the government.
It was maintained by eight salt merchants: Qi, Chen, Li, Peng, Bai, Shen, Wu and Zhou.
Of course, Yangzhou City has a garrison, but when there is no war with foreign enemies, the garrison is just a decoration.
Moreover, most of the children in the garrison were from Yangzhou.
Just like most of the government officials in Yangzhou are Yangzhou people.
Therefore, as long as the eight major salt merchant families are here, the people of Yangzhou City can live and work in peace and contentment most of the time.
Even if there are gang disputes, they rarely affect civilians.
Of course, it is even less likely to affect the eight major families.
It’s not that there are no guards watching the scene at Sixi Tower, it’s just that since the day Sixi Tower was built, not even a drunkard making trouble has been seen here.
The only purpose of the guards at Sixi Tower is to prevent theatergoers who are obsessed with drama from rushing onto the stage or backstage and disturbing the opera singers.
However, no one expected that one day, chaos would break out in Sixi Tower.
Although the Bai family is not the Qi family, how can the Bai family be weak?
You know, behind the Bai family, there is a prince and a prince!
When the Supreme Emperor made his sixth southern tour, among the princes, ministers, princes, and grandsons, there was Emperor Long'an's second son Li Yao. Although he was not his legitimate son, he was now granted the title of Prince of Keqin County.
A county prince is actually nothing in the Dayan clan. There are dozens of county princes in Dayan now. If they cannot participate in the government affairs, the princes will only enjoy wealth and honor in vain.
Prince Keqin will not participate in government affairs...
However, even if he does not participate in government affairs, he is different from the ordinary princes who wait to die, because he is the biological son of Emperor Long'an and a prince.
Although the momentum of the Keqin County Prince's Mansion has reached its peak, if it wants to decline, it will have to wait until the next dynasty...
A legitimate daughter of the Bai family married into the Prince Keqin's palace as a concubine. With her beauty and the large sums of gold and silver sent to the palace every year from the Bai family, the Bai family had some influence in the Prince's Palace and even in the entire clan.
Therefore, the Bai family is not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others.
Han Bin knew it, Lin Ruhai knew it, and Jia Qiang later also knew it.
Using him as a sword to attack the Bai family will definitely offend others and cause disaster.
But in this world, if you want to do something, how can you not offend others?
Is there such a thing as taking advantage without paying the price?
The so-called New Deal, in the final analysis, is about breaking the old interest pattern and re-dividing interests.
In this process, the old and new policies are mortal enemies that cannot coexist.
Since Jia Qiang has to stand in the ranks of the New Deal, even if she hides behind it, it can be regarded as a kind of standing in line.
If you try to please both sides without offending each other, you will only end up being someone who both sides hate to be defensive about, and will be the first to be beaten to death.
Therefore, since we are destined to side with the new party, we should not show any kindness to the old party.
"Ouch! What is this?"
Xu Zhen was in the mood to watch, and when he was suddenly interrupted, he said something unhappy, then turned back to look at Bai Ziqing, who had a gloomy face, and said with a smile: "Old Bai, isn't the show you are performing today "Shocking"? "Dream" is "Sun Xingzhe Havoc in Heaven"!"
Bai Ziqing glared at him fiercely and said coldly: "Why do I always feel something is wrong today? It turns out that I came to Sixi Building to make trouble to vent my anger. Now my anger should have subsided. Is it time to leave? Sorry, I won't send you far!" "
He just thought it was Jia Qiang who brought Qi Yun and Xu Zhen and his two minions here to vent their anger. After all, when they were in Meiyuan that day, he had helped the Feng brothers and had spoken harshly to Jia Qiang.
Now the Yanyuan Yamen has great momentum, so he admitted it today!
Unexpectedly, Jia Qiang frowned and said, "Are you angry? What are you angry about? There was a disturbance backstage at Sixi Tower. Should Mr. Bai go and see what's going on first?"
When Bai Ziqing heard this, he would not believe that this matter had nothing to do with Jia Qiang. He just gritted his teeth and said: "Jia Qiang, if we continue to make trouble, it will really be over! Don't think you can do anything to the Bai family. The Yanyuan Yamen is in Yangzhou Prefecture.
, you can’t cover the sky with one hand!”
After saying that, he looked at Qi Yun and said in a deep voice: "Brother De'ang, could it be that the Qi family really looked at the Yanyuan Yamen and bullied our salt merchants unscrupulously?"
When Qi Yun heard this, he shook his head slightly, glanced at the Sixi Tower clerk who kept rushing to the backstage, chuckled and said: "Youxue, don't get excited. Do the Bai family have any problems with salt affairs? Anyway,
The Qi family doesn’t know what big problems the Bai family has with the salt affairs. You Xue, you are not young anymore, so be careful when you speak. Is there really any problem with the Bai family in the salt affairs?”
Bai Ziqing felt relieved when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Of course there is no problem..."
Qi Jun heard this and said curiously: "Since there is no problem with the salt affairs, how can the Yanyuan Yamen bully the salt merchants? Are you confused?"
Bai Ziqing couldn't figure out for a moment which side Qi Yun was on...
At present, it seems that he is still on the side of the salt merchants.
Yes, it must be so!
There is no reason for the Qi family to side with Lin Ruhai and Han Bin. It makes no sense at all.
Thinking of this, the fear and fear in Bai Ziqing's heart were immediately reduced by half, his eyes became proud again, he looked at Jia Qiang and sneered: "Okay, since the matter here has nothing to do with you, then it will be easy to handle."
After saying that, he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Uncle Lu, go in and see where the thieves are who have dared to come to my Sixi Building to cause trouble! Take them down, don't hold back, no matter life or death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure rushed backstage in several steps.
The sound of fighting behind the curtain suddenly increased, with screams, cries, and curses coming one after another.
Mixed with it was a woman's sharp cry, which never faded and spread throughout the theater, making Bai Ziqing's face become even more ugly:
"Qian'er, Qian'er, I've found you!"
"Qian'er, after the Huang family and the Bai family were wiped out due to a business dispute, I escaped with you. Unexpectedly, you were taken back by the Bai family. They didn't kill you, but let you work as an actor here. Come on.
The spirits in heaven who humiliate your parents are so cruel, the Bai family!"
"Qian'er, my mother-in-law will never abandon you again. From now on, we will live together and die together. We curse everyone in the Bai family to not have a good death!"
"Uncle Chao, go in and catch that woman who talks nonsense! I want to see who in Yangzhou government dares to throw dirty water on my Bai family's head!!"
Seeing the full audience in the theater having eaten their fill of melons, Bai Ziqing was furious. Although it would not hurt the Bai family, it would bring disgrace to the Bai family. How could he endure it?
Another figure suddenly jumped into the background, but...
Although the sound of fighting became more intense, the woman's wailing never stopped:
"The Bai family are beasts from top to bottom. Don't be afraid, Qian'er. Every old man in Yangzhou City knows about the Huang family's murder case fourteen years ago. The Bai family bribed the government and said it was done by Jiangyang thieves. Bullshit. Now,
We have found a witness, this time, we must seek justice!"
"Pity the seventy-six members of the Huang family. From the eighty-year-old old man to the newly born young master Sun, they were all poisoned to death by the beasts of the Bai family and burned to death!"
"The Bai family, the Bai family, you bunch of inhuman beasts, I don't believe it. There is no place for justice in this world!"
"ah!"
"ah!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
As two screams suddenly sounded, two figures broke through the curtain one after another, flew out, and fell hard on the stage. After struggling twice, each figure stopped moving.
Bai Ziqing was horrified when he saw that these two people were masters arranged by the head of the Bai family to protect him, and ordinary martial arts masters could not get close to them.
Even if they are not as good as the two great masters who protect Qi Yun, they are not far behind.
With these two people, Bai Ziqing once thought that the world was so big that he could go anywhere.
But he never thought that one day, these two masters would meet in the Bai family's Sixi Building.
Just when Bai Ziqing's body was filled with chills, Jia Qiang stood up, turned around, looked at Bai Zi and said calmly: "Mr. Bai, since there are people inside who are crying for injustice, and they are still trying to destroy the family, why not invite them out and ask them a question?
It's better to clear up your Bai family's innocence."
Bai Ziqing looked at Jia Qiang, then at Qi Yun and Xu Zhen on his left and right, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He ignored Jia Qiang, but looked at Qi Yun and said word by word: "Qi Yun, if the Bai family dies, I don't know who will be next. But I know that the last one will be your Qi family."
You must not be able to escape!! You Qi family, have you lost your mind?!"
Qi Yun shook his head, looked at Bai Ziqing and sighed: "As a rightist, you should be careful with your words. You can take care of yourself."
Jia Qiang didn't give Bai Ziqing a chance to speak again. He turned around and said, "If there are any grievances there, why not come to the stage to complain. Yangzhou Mansion is the Yangzhou Mansion of the imperial court and the Yangzhou people. Everyone sitting here is Yangzhou Mansion."
If you are a discerning person, if you have any grievance, you might as well go to the front desk and complain."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman dragged a fifteen-year-old girl to the front desk, knelt down on the ground, and cried out loudly about the great injustice of her family's extermination.
At the end of the sentence, I burst into tears.
Xu Zhen looked at Jia Qiang and Qi Yun, then at Bai Ziqing who was restrained and unable to struggle at some point, smiled, and then asked loudly: "That mother-in-law, you said you have witnesses? Ten
It’s been four years, what witnesses do you have? Are you lying and accusing the Bai family of their innocence?”
Unexpectedly, the woman said sharply: "Yes, we have a witness, and the witness is none other than the eldest son of the second wife of the Mei family. The Mei family hated being betrayed by the Bai family and accused of smuggling smuggled salt, so they told me the evidence. That year
There are still people alive who committed the crime in the Bai family, who can testify. The government officials who were bribed by the Bai family can also testify that the Bai family poisoned the Huang family first, and then set the fire. By the way, I still have evidence. I, the Huang family, have three things.
Many people in Yangzhou Prefecture know about the ancestral treasures. The heads of the Qi family, Chen family and Peng family have all seen it with their own eyes. But after the Huang family was wiped out, the government said that the three ancestral treasures of my Huang family were burned. However, the Mei family
But the eldest son of the second wife said that when he was a guest at the Bai family, he had seen those three treasures with his own eyes, and they were in the Bai family's treasure house!"
