After hearing Jia Qiang's order, Shang Zhuo jumped up and picked up the son of Yuan Ping's hero who had been acting strangely before like a chicken, and then threw him down in front of Qiu Liang.

This movement caused the originally restless and excited hall on the first floor to fall into silence.

Most of them can only hang out on the first floor and enjoy themselves listening to the fragments of words passed down from the floors above.

In terms of status, at most he is from a baronial or viscounty house.

The person who was carelessly thrown to the ground and could not say anything in pain, or who dared not say anything, although he was not born in the baron or viscount's house, was still the second bedroom of a marquis' house.

However, they didn't even ask a question and just let someone beat him to death. Who else would dare to make a mistake?

Jia Qiang, along with Shang Zhuo, Tieniu and twenty other soldiers, stepped inside. The crowd in the lobby on the first floor separated into a path as if a knife had cut through the tide.

There was no one she knew on the first floor. When she arrived on the second floor, Jia Qiang saw a few familiar ones. They were the founding heroes who came with her father and ancestors when the Jia family held a banquet to celebrate the title of marquis.

Children.

"Ninghou!"

"Ninghou is here!"

Seeing the happy expressions of each of them clasping their fists and saluting, and some of them looking around with the intention of demonstrating, Jia Qiang knew that what happened today had turned into a collision between the children of the founding hero and the Yuanping hero.

However, today, the lineage of founding heroes is really rare...

Jia Qiang nodded to them and continued walking up.

Just at the entrance of the stairs, I met another "old acquaintance", Wang Jie, the prince of Xiongwuhou, who was serving under the command of Prince Yu Baojun of the Ministry of War.

Wang Jie looked down at Jia Qiang and said: "King Jun of Chuanbao County has decreed: Jia Qiang, Marquis of Ning, is not allowed to bring his soldiers up to the third floor!"

Jia Qiang frowned and looked at Wang Jie, wondering: "When were you released?"

When Wang Jie heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he glared at Jia Qiang with eyes burning like fire, and said: "You...if you have the guts, just continue to lead your soldiers up!"

After that, he turned around and went upstairs.

Jia Qiang sneered and said to Shang Zhuo and others: "Come up with me and stand at the top of the stairs and wait for my order."

Shang Zhuo and others laughed and nodded in agreement.

The group of people followed Jia Qiang to the stairs and stood on the last step without entering.

Jia Qiang looked at the seven sons of the Wang family who had been beaten out of human form in the Golden Chrysanthemum Hall, and Baoyu who was being taken care of by Feng Ziying, with a bruised nose and swollen face, and blood stains on the corners of his eyes, nose and mouth.

On the other side, in the Wangyue Hall, Baojun Prince Li Jingzheng was talking to a group of young people. Although there was no smile on his face, there was no harsh reprimand.

After nodding with Feng Ziying, Jia Qiang ignored the seven Wang family members and Baoyu who were looking at him, and did not pay attention to the cold and sarcastic eyes of Wang Jie and other Yuan Ping Xunchen's children. She stepped forward a few steps, held her hands in front of Li Jing and said politely:

"I will see Prince Baojun."

Li Jing seemed to have just seen him, and nodded, his eyes paused on the figures at the corner of the stairs, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "You really listened to the lonely king and didn't let them go to the third floor.

Just don’t go to the third floor.”

Jia Qiang didn't show any fear or fear, and she didn't even mean to explain. Instead, she went straight to the point and asked in a calm tone: "May I ask, is there any connection between the prince and what happened today?"

When Li Jing heard this, his eyes suddenly became sharp. He looked at Jia Qiang and said solemnly: "Why, it's not related, so the lonely king can't be here?"

Jia Qiang smiled softly and said: "Xia Guan did not mean this, but I just thought that if it got to this point and got involved with the prince, it would not be a good thing for the prince. Xiaguan has always been deeply favored by the emperor and the empress. , Therefore, I really don’t want to see anyone throwing dirty water on the prince at the court tomorrow.”

Li Jing heard the words, narrowed his eyes, looked at Jia Qiang and said indifferently: "Jia Qiang, Dong Chuan and the others just came back from Jiubian to report their work to the Ministry of War. The lonely king is involved in political affairs at the military ministry, who would throw dirt on the lonely king? water?"

When Jia Qiang heard this, her face became serious. She looked directly at Li Jing and frowned: "Jiubian is back? My lord, it doesn't matter what you say to them in the Ministry of War hall. But in private, you informed Jiubian Zhong General, even if he is just their nephew, the prince still thinks that no one will throw dirty water on the prince? The prince is really... unscrupulous and unscrupulous!"

"presumptuous!"

Li Jing stood up, looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Jia Qiang, do you know what you are talking about?"

After Jia Qiang took a deep look at him, she cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty met Xiaguan on the road today. After hearing about the incident at Juyue Tower, he accepted Xiaguan's invitation and came to resolve the dispute. Your Majesty, I don't know that Xiaguan That’s what you said, right?”

Li Jing was shocked when he heard this. Before he could speak, Wang Jie shouted loudly: "Jia Qiang, you are talking nonsense..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Jing shouted sharply: "Shut up!"

Wang Jie's face turned pale, then turned red and lowered his head, with shame and hatred in his eyes.

Li Jing turned around, looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Is that really true?"

Jia Qiang sighed and said: "That's the only way it can be. I don't know who encouraged the prince to come here, but I can conclude that this person is either extremely stupid or extremely evil!"

Hearing this, Li Jing turned to look at Wang Jie beside him.

Without waiting for Wang Jie to explain, Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "If it is this person, then I can conclude that this person is probably extremely stupid!"

Li Jing was still a protector, waving his hand and saying: "Wang Jie just didn't think too much, Jia Qiang, how are you going to resolve today's matter? I would like to remind you first, Dong Chuan, Qu Cheng and the nine of them are all following their father and ancestors." Jiubian has been fighting for five or six years, and Yu Guo is considered a meritorious person. Today I was eating at Juyue Tower, but I heard the Wang family and Jia family talking nonsense, scolding their fathers and ancestors as worthless, and falsely accusing Yuan Ping. The heroes were all traitors. This made them angry and taught them a lesson. The courtesans from Jinju Pavilion testified about this, and the Wang family also admitted it. However, they refused to agree to Dong Chuan and the others. Under the conditions, apologize to them. The lonely king has just arrived and has just asked about the rights and wrongs."

After that, he said to the 18/9-year-old young man next to him: "Dong Chuan, this is the great-great-grandson of Ning Guogong who was given the title of "good minister" by the Emperor. He is in charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department. He also just made a marriage arrangement with the cousin of the Solitary King. He is a reasonable person. You can explain to him clearly about today's matter, and he will not make things difficult for you."

Hearing this, Dong Chuan first held up his hands and returned the courtesy to Li Jing, then turned to look at Jia Qiang and said in a low voice: "Ninghou, I have nothing to say, the prince has already made the matter clear. I, of the Yuanping lineage, will do this for you." I have been guarding the border for many years, and even though I have no merit, I still have toiled hard. How can I be treated with such contempt? If there is no explanation for this matter, I, the Dong family of the Marquis Xuande Mansion, will never give up!"

"If there is no explanation, the Chen family of the Marquis of Dongchuan will never give up!"

"I, the Zhang family of Yongding Marquis Mansion, will never give up!"

The power formed by nine people, five first-class marquis' houses, and four first-class uncle's houses, gave the entire Juyue Tower a sense of solemnity.

Jia Qiang still had a calm expression on his face. He did not turn around to ask the Wang family whether they had said those things. He only asked: "You have beaten people like this, what else do you want?"

Dong Chuan's face was roughened by the cold wind at the frontier, and his eyes were cold. He looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Those who fart all over the place kneel down, kowtow, and slap themselves to apologize. Marquis Ning, is this condition too much?"

Jia Qiang did not answer out of anger, but asked: "Looking at you, you are not like flamboyant fools like Jiang Lin and Wang Jie, but you are a bit iron-clad. I want to ask you a question

, do you dare to answer truthfully? If you really dare to answer truthfully, I will leave this matter alone today."

The Wang family members who were beaten badly in the back were all excited when they heard this and winked at Baoyu repeatedly.

But now Baoyu's soul seems to have been blown away. Who knows what to do?

Dong Chuan looked at Jia Qiang with a deep look and said: "Marquis Ning, may I ask, although I am not as tall as Marquis Ning and not as scheming, I still have the courage to answer truthfully."

Jia Qiang nodded, smiled, and praised: "Okay! Sure enough, he is much more outstanding than me and other children of the founding heroes. Then tell me, did you ever scold the founding of the country when you were drinking, chatting and bragging in private?

This whole family is all trash, they are all idiots, they are all cowards who rely on the merits of their ancestors? Have you ever looked down on the heroes of the founding of the People's Republic of China?

So, do you have the courage and backbone to answer truthfully?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was originally prepared to watch a good show frowned when they saw Jia Qiang being disappointed.

Li Jing, Prince of Baojun, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at Jia Qiang with admiration. She really had some tricks.

The founding family and the Yuanping family have always been at odds with each other. They have been fighting openly and covertly for decades. To say that either family has not scolded the other in private is to tell lies with open eyes.

Dong Chuan did not answer directly, but said: "Ninghou, this is not the same thing, is it?"

Jia Qiang asked curiously: "What's the difference between them drinking in private, bragging and chatting with a group of courtesans and prostitutes, and swearing some outrageous words, and you drinking and swearing in private? Come, the people from Xuandehou Mansion are here to teach me.

, what’s the difference?”

Dong Chuan remained silent, while Zhang Huan, the Crown Prince of Yongding Hou behind him, said in a deep voice: "In private, we have never scolded you so harshly, let alone the founding officials of the country, who are all traitors who rebelled against you!"

Chen Ran, the Marquis of Dongchuan, echoed: "Yes! Besides, we didn't let anyone listen or find out!"

The smile on Jia Qiang's face gradually turned cold, and she said to Zhang Huan: "Whether it sounds unpleasant or not is not decided by you, but by the person being scolded. If the murderer and the judge are the same person, will there be justice?"

Then he said to Chen Ran: "If no one listens to it, how can it be fine? Brother, I am now in charge of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. I have no more than 2,000 serious soldiers and horses, but I have more than 20,000 helpers! Do you believe it?

If you don’t believe it, I have issued an order. Tomorrow, the reputation of your Dongchuan Marquis will be inferior to that of the Jinju Pavilion next door. According to you, doesn’t it mean that what I did was without fault?”

"you dare!"

Chen Ran said sharply.

Jia Qiang looked at him and said softly: "What the prince said just now is right. I am a reasonable person. So if you are reasonable, I will be reasonable. But if you are, relying on the power of Yuanping's heroes, you want to

If you use your power to bully others and act recklessly, I will never let you down today."
