At night.

Ning Mansion, front hall.

Li Jing, Sun Qin, Gao Long, and Shang Zhuo stood in the hall, while Tieniu led seventy-two old brothers to form an array from the Yimen.

Jia Qiang was only wearing plain clothes, like an ordinary scholar, slowly sipping tea.

There is another person in the hall with sharp eyes, and he is a very smart person at first glance.

But every time his eyes glanced at Jia Qiang, there was a hint of fear.

Obviously, after suffering a lot of losses, he learned a lesson...

After a while, Iron Bull suddenly strode in with a loud sound like thunder, clasping his fists and saying: "Master Marquis, the men and horses of the Cao Gang are here!"

Jia Qiang raised her chin slightly and said: "Pass."

Tieniu clasped his fists and responded: "Yes!"

Then he turned around and shouted: "On the order of the Marquis, the Cao Gang people are summoned to enter the hall!"

When Ding Chao saw Tieniu's physique and momentum, he couldn't help but gasp in air through his teeth.

It is not that there are no big men in Caobang, but such majestic men are really rare.

What's more, civilians are never allowed to wear armor, which is a serious crime of beheading.

But Tieniu is not only black and strong, but also wears a black iron armor. If he pulls down the mask raised on his head, he looks like a black iron monster.

With such a person charging forward, any master of martial arts can be of use to him!

When Leng Buding saw such a person, he was probably feeling a lot of pressure in his heart.

What is a show of force?

But that's all.

"A furnace of cigarettes is rising, and three old men and four young men are sitting in the hall!"

"Disciples offer incense to invite their ancestors and welcome our ancestor Pan Qianweng!"

A low sound of Jianghu cutting came from outside, and four big men escorted a thin old man and slowly entered.

This picture of a gangster is quite impressive, but when passing by Tieniu, I still hesitated slightly...

"Yo! Dad, you're here!"

Ding Chao was not restricted in his freedom in this hall. When he saw Ding Hao entering, he hurriedly knelt down to greet him and was extremely happy.

It’s no wonder that Ding Hao dotes on this old man so much that he rushes to the capital at all costs for him.

Although I can see that he is a little embarrassed now, he has all his hands and feet, all fingers are present, and he is in good spirits. He is still so comfortable in jail...

"Well, he is indeed my good son, Ding Hao!"

Ding Hao patted Ding Chao's forehead. After shouting, he took a few steps forward with Jianghu steps. He looked at Jia Qiang with his old eyes, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know whether I am treating it as an official or a Jianghu way today." Come!"

As an official, he naturally wants to worship Jia Qiang, the prince of the country. But if he goes according to the previous message and wants to count the accounts according to the rivers and lakes, then he will have to use the Jinsha Gang to worship him.

In terms of status in the Jianghu, no one in the Jianghu can be more powerful than the chief helmsman of the Cao Gang.

Jia Qiang put down the tea cup, faced Ding Hao's strong eyes, looked over with a faint look, and asked: "With the energy of Caobang, should you know what happened in Jingling today?"

Ding Hao didn't know what Jia Qiang meant, so the old man nodded slowly and said: "I have just heard about Master Lin's misfortune. I am very surprised..."

"Accident?"

Jia Qiang snorted, her eyes became more and more indifferent, and she looked at Ding Hao and said: "You are a veteran of Jianghu, so you are surprised by this? Then guess what, Zhao Dongshan and my husband have no grievances, and even the Zhao family and I still have some connections, why would he assassinate my husband? Even if he wanted to kill everything, he should have assassinated Song Zhou, or even if he was brave enough, he should have assassinated Shengjia. Why did he assassinate my husband?"

Ding Hao frowned and felt a big stone sinking in his heart. He looked at Jia Qiang and said, "I don't understand what Ning Hou means..."

Jia Qiang said softly: "I don't understand either. Later, the emperor solved the confusion between my husband and me. It turned out that it was because my husband mentioned something in the palace, and he was planning to start shipping... Could it be that behind this incident? Are you the assistant of the Cao Gang? After all, your Cao Gang is full of talented people, and the emperor is surrounded by your people. The chief eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace can all be assigned by you..."

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two consecutive thunders rang in his ears. Ding Hao could no longer hear the following words clearly, and was completely stunned by the first two sentences.

Want to start sea transportation instead of water transportation?!

This is to dig out the roots of the Cao Gang!!

If maritime transport really takes off, what will the hundreds of thousands of people in the Cao Gang do to eat and drink?

What do they, the big guys of the Cao Gang, do to support their people and those officials who suck blood like blood-sucking worms?

The last sentence is even more terrifying!

The emperor reminded that it was because Lin Ruhai proposed to open sea transportation that the accident happened...

The eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace was assigned by the Cao Gang...

Ding Hao's old bones were shaking, he knelt down tremblingly on the ground, and roared: "Master Marquis, if you want to impose a crime, there is no reason to hesitate!"

Ding Chao also stepped forward, knelt on the ground, supported Ding Hao, and said: "Dad, don't panic! Sure enough, the matter has been finalized and has not changed. The one who came forward now is the embroidered clothes guard. We should be in Tianlao now." Imprisonment!"

This sentence reminded Ding Hao. Ding Hao raised his head to look at Jia Qiang, and saw Jia Qiang saying with a stern expression: "Your son is indeed smart. The reason why he has not taken action now is because the imperial court is afraid of the powerful Cao Gang. Once there is unrest, There is bound to be trouble. Now the Supreme Emperor has just marched into Jingling. It is a critical moment, so I will not touch you for the time being. However, the Caosi's 120,000 troops will soon take orders to keep an eye on your Cao Gang! Before the suspicion is cleared, dare you Anyone who acts rashly will be turned into ashes! A Jianghu gang took advantage of the imperial court and took advantage of the situation. However, they did not know how to repay their kindness. Instead, they acted lawlessly and committed such heartless and daring bastard things. How do you want to die? "

Ding Hao was shocked and said angrily: "How dare our Cao Gang commit such a crime?"

Jia Qiang shouted sternly: "Your son dares to send people into my manor to assassinate the prince's family members. As an old man, what else can't you dare to do?"

Ding Hao was dumbfounded and looked at Ding Chao in horror.

Ding Chao was horrified and said anxiously: "Ninghou, haven't I explained this a hundred times before? I just sent people to find out, otherwise..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jia Qiang picked up the tea cup and smashed it over.

With a "pop" sound, the tea cup hit Ding Chao's shoulder, shattering it into pieces. Ding Chao groaned and felt his shoulder bone break. He was shocked by Jia Qiang's strength, but he didn't dare to attack at this moment.

"How dare you, the son of a Jianghu gang leader, to find out about me? Who do you think I am!!"

Jia Qiang's voice was cold and cold, making the atmosphere in the front hall extremely depressing.

At this moment, one of the four big men who came in behind Ding Hao suddenly stood up and clasped his fists and said: "I'm at the Yamen of the Governor of Caoyun. Du Lun, the Governor of Biaoying Camp, has met Marquis Ning!"

Tsk!

Jia Qiang just used the Caosi army under the control of the Governor of Water Transport to scare Ding Hao, but it turned out that he was escorted by people personally arranged by the Governor of Water Transport...

Jia Qiang half-smiled but said: "Today's incident in Jingling, it turns out that even the Governor's Yamen of Water Transportation was involved. I wonder who gave the Cao Gang the courage..."

Du Lun's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Ninghou, I am humbled today..."

"Do you still know the word "low-level position"? You, a school captain, don't show any courtesy to me, but you act as a lackey in front of a gang leader. Believe it or not, I will chop off your head right now and send it to Yuan Jie to demand an explanation!

!”

Today is different from the past. If the Emperor was still here, Jia Qiang might not be able to offend Yuan Jie, the Governor of Water Transport, who was the Emperor's confidant.

After all, compared to the governor of one side, he is just a so-called "good minister of the Supreme Emperor" and is really not worthy of recognition.

In the eyes of truly discerning people, this is just a joke.

But now, the Supreme Emperor has passed away, and Emperor Long'an has become the only supreme one in the world of justice. Lin Ruhai saw that he was about to join the military, and even Jia Qiang herself helped the founding family to win a Fengtai camp!

At the local level, he was inferior to Yuan Jie, the governor of water transportation.

But in Beijing, how can you be afraid?

A mere lieutenant of the Governor-General Supervising Biao Camp also wants to talk to him on an equal footing?

When Yuan Jie sent this person, maybe he didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor would suddenly die?

"Still not kneeling down!"

Li Jing stepped forward and shouted sharply!

Du Lun's face turned red, but he didn't dare to hold it any longer. He knelt down on the ground and turned his head, saying: "Ninghou misunderstood, how dare I disrespect Ninghou in my humble position? It's just that I, under the orders of the governor, worked with the leader of the Caobang Ding.

Come here and ask a favor for Gang Leader Ding."

Jia Qiang sneered and said, "Do you have a letter from Governor Yuan?"

Ding Hao and others' hearts sank. As expected, they heard Du Lun hesitate and say: "Not yet, but..."

Jia Qiang sneered "Ha" and said: "Governor Yuan Da, you are so dignified! Well, isn't this a ready-made witness? How can a Cao Gang have the courage to assassinate the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"

Du Lun's expression changed drastically, but he heard Jia Qiang calmly say: "Take it."

Tieniu stepped forward and grabbed Du Lun with something the size of a cattail leaf fan. The three Cao Gang masters around Du Lun were about to take action, but Ding Hao sternly scolded him: "You are not allowed to do anything."

Tieniu grabbed Du Lun and threw him out of the front hall, lying on the ground unable to move.

Ding Yong, a soldier of his own, stepped forward and escorted him away.

Jia Qiang said calmly: "The other three people will also be taken away together."

The three people understood clearly, and when they saw Ding Chao winking at him, they didn't need to shake him off. They walked out of the front hall one by one and let the soldiers escort them down.

After the Ding family and his son were the only ones left in the hall, Jia Qiang took a sip from the newly brought tea cup and said: "The Jingling assassination case will be resolved soon. If the Cao Gang is involved, then of course it's nothing."

It’s easy to say. The houses should be confiscated, and the Yi tribe should be raided... But in fact, I think that the Caobang should not have expanded to this extent at present? "
To be continued...
