Shenjing Nancheng, Caobang Jingcheng Branch.

The helmsman Pan Ziyue is still in prison, and the person in charge now is neither Dai Fang, the protector of the Caobang, nor Ning Han, the revered teacher, but Ding Chao, the son of Ding Hao, the Caobang's helper.

The Cao Gang is so powerful that it is known as the best gang in the world.

No one in the world dares to disrespect Caobang.

Hundreds of thousands of gang members, just like ordinary officials, patrolled the waterways and inspected rivers. They didn't dare to create trouble when they saw the flag of the Caogong.

Along the canal, there are places where everything is domineering.

Just because the governor of the river and the imperial envoy of the river engineer were their backers, even the ordinary governors could not help them.

But this is in Beijing.

Dai Feng actually disagreed with Ding Chao's decision to send people to Taoyuan to test the Jia family's background.

Because of what happened, he almost harmed his biggest supporter, his uncle Dai Quan, who lost his job as chief steward of the Qing Palace, and Dai Quan almost cut him into pieces.

If Dai Quan really did something wrong because of him, even if Dai Quan didn't kill him, the Dai family would never forgive him for being such a weakling!

I couldn't tell, so I castrated him and sent him to the palace to apologize...

But Ding Chao is Ding Hao's beloved son, and Ding Hao has three sons and five daughters in total. Although there are not many disadvantages and shortcomings in this profession, there may not be many good ones.

Not to mention the five daughters, there are only three sons. The eldest son died early, and the second son had his hand and hamstrings cut off by his enemies, leaving him a useless person. Fortunately, he got a son later and gave birth to the third son.

Needless to say, his level of pampering is needless to say.

He also developed an arrogant character and behaved unscrupulously.

Although Dai Feng was not afraid of him, he could not convince him.

Although he told Ding Chao that this is the emperor's feet, even the Cao Gang would not dare to mess around, not to mention it is still during the national mourning period?

Pian Dingchao insisted on testing others, he felt that there was no malice, as if others would not feel any malice.

Ding Chao was just a young man in his early twenties. He was sitting in the main seat. There was a plate of barbecue on the table and a jar of sake next to the barbecue.

He ate and drank happily. The emperor's death had nothing to do with him, a man of the world...

It can't be said that it's completely unrelated. After all, his father donated to him the official title of Fourth Grade Tongzhi. If you really think about it, he can't eat meat.

But who cares?

Ding Chao was also a clever man. He noticed Dai Mo's uneasiness and said with a smile: "Old Dai, what are you afraid of? I just sent people to scare the guy, and I didn't hurt anyone. If he really had malicious intentions, I sent him directly Third brother Zhang and fifth brother Wang are going, they are using swords and spears, the world is so big, how many people can stop them?"

Dai Fengwei said: "If they were just going to scare people, they should have come back by now. If they haven't come back yet, there is probably an accident. They fell into the hands of the Jia family. With Jia Qiang's temperament, they didn't even come to kill them. Come? Now he is in charge of the five-city army and horse division, and he will march on behalf of the military camp to clear the capital. In addition, even my uncle has spread the word, don't embarrass Jia Qiang now. Lin Ruhai is here, and no one can touch him. If we really fight, the official power of the Cao Gang will not be able to overpower him."

Ding Chao lazily said: "What can we do if we catch them? Even if those two people confess to the Cao Gang, they will prove that they have no ill intentions. Based on this, does the Jia family still want to kill me? Just wait. When he comes to ask questions, I will have a good argument with him. If the Jinsha Gang he is protecting is allowed to dig deeper, and the people of the Cao Gang in the capital have to be hollowed out by them, I will still settle the score with him... …”

As soon as the word "settling accounts" was spoken, shouts of murder were heard coming from all directions outside the house.

The expressions of "Brother Zhang" and "Brother Wang" who were standing behind Ding Chao and never left him suddenly changed. They moved one behind the other, tightly protecting Ding Chao in the middle.

The shouts of death outside did not last long and gradually subsided.

However, this gradual silence was like a big stone, pressing on the hearts of everyone in the room, making them somewhat breathless.

"boom!"

At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly knocked open from the outside, and both doors fell to the ground. A group of big men dressed in black poured in.

One of them was a strong man as tall as a bear. Dai Feng and Ning Han were both familiar with him and had heard about him.

Dai Mou shouted in a high-pitched voice: "But Ninghou is here? Ninghou, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

The crowd parted, and it was Li Jing who stepped into the central hall.

Li Jing looked at Ding Chao, who was being protected by two masters, and said calmly: "Since you want to settle your grudges through political means, I, the Jinsha Gang, will accompany you. Young Master Ding will come with us. Please invite Ding."

Gang leader comes to redeem people, or do you want to fight to the death and ask gang leader Ding to come and collect the body?"

Ding Chao was also a bit smart. In this case, he took the last piece of barbecue on the iron skewer into his mouth. While chewing, he frowned and said: "No? I will send two people to check the taste of your mouth. Give it a try."

Are you so good that you are shouting to kill me? If you kill me, you and the people behind you may not be able to bear the consequences, right?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "Didn't Protector Dai tell you about our Lord Marquis?"

Ding Chao asked in confusion: "What's the matter?"

Li Jing said lightly: "Someone once ambushed a member of the Jia family and burned her car. That night, our marquis first led troops to surround the Duke of Zhao's mansion. Duke Zhao personally handed over his most beloved grandson, and then together they went to surround Xiongwu."

If the Marquis of Xiongwu had dared to say no at that time, and if Xiongwu Marquis had left a single person alive that night, we would be considered incompetent. After Xiongwu Marquis handed over the prince, we, the Marquis, led people to surround the Prince's Mansion again.

Gang Leader Ding, has no one ever warned you not to mess with the people our Lord Marquis cares about? How much more noble do you think you are than the people above? Even if no one warned you, has no one taught you that it will not harm your wife?

What are the rules of the world? Let me ask you one last question, live or die. By the way, I won’t hide it from you. Although I want to take you away, our Lord Marquis has spoken, and we must leave three fingers for you even if you are alive.

Take the person back to Ding Hao, and let Ding Hao come to the capital in person to redeem the person. Of course, you can also collect the body."

"Be bold!"

"Arrogant!"

Brother Zhang San and Brother Wang were furious when they heard this, and they shouted fiercely.

Li Jing smiled. She took three steps back and then raised her hands. What appeared in the hands of the big men made Ding Chao and others change their expressions.

I saw dozens of iron drills pointed at them, intending to throw them to kill them!

How much worse can it be compared to a powerful crossbow if it is thrown at this distance?

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Ding Chao's face turned pale, he raised his hands and shouted: "I surrender, I will go with you, and let my father redeem me! But, can you not cut off your fingers? Really, I sent people there just to scare you, but no

You have other thoughts. If you really have bad intentions, you can't send just two people there, right? I'm being reckless this time, so I'll leave you with three fingers. I'm willing to compensate according to the rules of the world."

Li Jing looked at Ding Chao indifferently and said: "You still don't understand our Lord Marquis's temper. If the people you sent earlier were to ambush and kill our Lord Marquis, he might not be so angry. Maybe he would give Ding Hao some face.

I just think you are young and ignorant. However, you have provoked the wrong person. Now that our Lord Marquis has opened his mouth, there is no reason to give in. I will count to three for the last time..."

"Okay, okay!"

Ding Chao swallowed, gritted his teeth and said: "I admit defeat, and I am willing to show three fingers..."

"Young Gang Leader!"

Third brother Zhang and fifth brother Wang shouted sharply with their eyes about to burst.

Ding Chao waved his hand and said: "I admit defeat. I didn't expect this Marquis to be such a person... However, can we discuss it and don't cut off all the fingers? Your Marquis said three fingers, but he didn't say it was only a finger."

How about I cut off two little toes, and then the little toe on my left hand, three in total? To be fair, you don’t want to completely form a deadly feud with me, the Cao Gang, do you? Of course, it’s not that anyone is afraid of the other, there is no need.

Make sure things are done right, right? Leave a thin line today so we can meet again in the future."

Li Jing had a new view on this second-generation black man who knew nothing about the world. This person was really not an ordinary playboy.

She narrowed her eyes and examined this person for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, I will make the decision on behalf of our Lord Marquis and give Caobang some face."

Ding Chao stopped Dai Fang who was about to speak and said, "Although there are people in your palace, they obviously don't want to listen to you. Just go get the medicine for the golden sore. I'll do it right away."

Dai Feng frowned and glanced at Li Jing. Ning Han's face turned pale and he went to get the medicine.

After returning not long after, Ding Chao sat down with a smile and curse, took off his shoes and socks, and exposed a pair of feet. He held a sharp knife and made a gesture on the edge of the little toe of his right foot. Then he raised his eyes and looked sharply at

Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Watch it!"

After saying that, he raised the knife and dropped it, and one of his toes fell to the ground stained with blood.

Ding Chao felt sweat on his forehead and grumbled in pain. After quickly applying medicine, Brother Zhang bandaged him up.

Then he did the same thing and cut off his right toe with one knife, and Brother Zhao Wu bandaged it up.

Ding Chao's face turned pale, he looked up at Li Jing and said: "Let's talk about it. I will personally give these two toes to Ning Hou. I will leave the fingers without cutting them off, and I will talk to him. After the talk, he really wants me."

Yes, I have no objection. If the deal is settled, there will be no need for my father to come to Beijing. His hometown is already in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is too old. I really don’t want to let him run around for me anymore. And I promise, tonight

It’s over tonight. I won’t feel any resentment or revenge in the future because of these two toes. How about that?”

When Li Jing heard this, her fear of this man became even higher. If this man hadn't actually had some background, she would have wanted to kill him immediately to avoid future troubles.

Seeing that her expression was gloomy and uncertain, Gao Long on the side stepped forward and whispered: "This person is not a kind person, and he is not using the connections of the world, but the power of the court. If the young gang leader can't handle it, he will wait until the Lord returns to the city tomorrow.

, let him make the decision. If he really wants to be killed, it won’t be on this day."

Hearing this, Li Jing nodded slowly.

Seeing this, Ding Chao exhaled a long breath, and then started to scream:

"It hurts! I fucked your mother so hard!"

"I love your mother so much!"

…

The next morning, it was still dark.

Thirty miles west of Shenjing City, Jia Family Taoyuan.

Halfway up the mountain, Xiang Ling, who was sleeping snoringly, was woken up from bed, still feeling a little dizzy.

But even so, she vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere among the other three.

Moreover, the second grandma didn’t walk so unfavorably when she went up the mountain yesterday...

But she didn't think much about it. After they went down the mountain together, the thatched house at the foot of the mountain was already in chaos.

There were many carriages parked in the courtyard, and the girls and maids got on the carriages one by one, as did the mothers-in-law.

After Xiangling got in the car, she was teased by Qingwen, and then the fight started again.

Not long after, the carriage started to leave Taoyuan and headed back to Shenjing City.

When we arrived at Shenjing City, it was already dark.

After Jia Qiang sent the carriages into Rong Mansion, she hurried to the palace without even dismounting.
