Yangzhou Xicheng, Yulang Street.
1,500 Jin Yiti cavalry surrounded the Bai family mansion in front, back, left and right.
It is not an attack, but it is necessary to shoot down even a flying bird.
The great cause is to kill the salt thieves!
After being surrounded all night, no one in the Bai family dared to sleep a wink.
Everyone knows that the young commander of Jinyiwei is best at making surprise attacks.
What if thousands of Tiqi swarmed up and ransacked their homes as soon as they closed their eyes?
This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the Bai family often uses a hanging basket to send people to negotiate.
Whether you want gold, silver or a woman, as long as you open your mouth, everything can be easily discussed.
However, the people who were sent out were like stones thrown into the sea, without even a sound being heard
The Bai family spent the most difficult night of their lives in darkness and fear. The young, old, women, and children were all on the verge of collapse.
It wasn¡¯t until the morning star rose in the east, a touch of fish belly white broke through the darkness, and the sky gradually became brighter, and the smell of meat came from all directions, that the Bai family finally realized that it was over.
But the smell of meat came from the Jinyi Tiqi stationed at the street corners.
They are eating meat porridge
Seeing this scene from a distance, the Bai family, who have been arrogant in Yangzhou Prefecture for a hundred years, were filled with tears of blood!
Is there any natural reason? !
Bai Shijie, who had been watching on the high wall all night, sent someone to talk to him again and prepared two baskets of Huangqiao sesame cakes.
However, this time, he finally knew how the people he sent disappeared
As soon as the four or five servants approached the place where Jinyi Tiqi was stationed, they rushed out a group of tiger and wolf soldiers, captured them all, and then escorted them to the corner of the street and disappeared.
I don¡¯t know whether I will live or die!
The delivered Huangqiao sesame cakes and snacks were scattered all over the floor and no one paid attention to them.
Seeing this scene, Bai Shijie felt chills deep in his heart.
What chilled him even more was that the military morale of the saltmen guarding the Bai family mansion was already unstable.
The reward from the Bai family is high, but no matter how much money there is, life is not as important as the life of the whole family!
This is not an era when local wealthy families can segregate themselves and protect themselves by building a fort.
Although there are many unrests in the world and there are many thieves and thieves, the general situation of the country is still stable and upward.
At this time, is it enough to fight with Tianjia Jinyiwei?
If Bai Shijie hadn't always brought praises from emperors of all dynasties, and even the plaque conferring to the Bai family "The Righteous Merchant of the Country" written by the Supreme Emperor, was carried out from the Bai family ancestral hall and placed on the gate tower, the saltmen would have dispersed long ago. !
This is a matter of life and death!
That night, Bai Shijie almost felt his intestines turning green.
When Jia Cong showed up in Yangzhou Mansion with those ten people, he should have used thunderous means to kill them in one fell swoop!
At that time, it was effortless for him to kill this group of people
But in order to avoid suspicion, he hesitated.
However, after this hesitation, Jia Qingchen did not give him another chance. Instead, he took advantage of him and used a trick to defeat Liu Zhao in one fell swoop.
Since then, it has really become a climate in Jiangnan.
Letting the tiger return to the mountain will cause endless troubles!
In just one night, Bai Shijie, who was once the most powerful man in Yangzhou Prefecture, seemed to have aged ten or twenty years.
Even my back is a little rickety
He doesn¡¯t look forward to anything else now. He only hopes that the kindness he has given, the gold and silver seas he has showered, and the peerless beauty he has given can help his Bai family survive this disaster.
He no longer counted on the other seven major salt merchants to lend a helping hand. From the moment the old dog from the Zhao family stepped forward, Bai Shijie knew that the other seven salt merchants could not count on him
Although Bai Shijie is young, he is not naive.
Fortunately, his hope was not completely dashed
As soon as Chen Shi passed, Yulang Street, who was dead, finally appeared.
Fifty or sixty students wearing turbans and Qingjin appeared. Even though these thin Confucian scholars only had a small number of people, they were not at a disadvantage against more than a thousand sturdy cavalry.
It¡¯s also true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Jinyiwei has been in decline for more than ten years. Most of these scholars were children more than ten years ago. How could they know the power of Jinyi?
Coupled with the aloof status of scholars, the ministers did not bow to the officials, and the magistrates and the county magistrates were regarded as friends.
These reading seeds gathered together, and even the governor dare to enter the gate, what else?;So, I am willing to have a good talk
The leading scholars, who were all dressed as candidates, looked at each other, recommended a young and decent candidate to stand out, and greeted Jia Cong, "I dare to ask, but Jia Qingchen and friend Jia in person?"
People refer to each other as "friends".
This title now obviously means closeness.
Jia Cong was not arrogant. He dismounted and said in return, "That's right."
The young man saw that he did not think of himself as a high-ranking official, but still regarded him as a scholar. He said with a smile on his face: "Friend Jia, I am the son of Yingtian Mansion, Meng Hao, whose name is Zisi"
Jia Cong listened calmly, while Meng Hao coughed dryly and continued: "We also heard that the Bai family, a good family in Yangzhou Prefecture, and the Emperor personally praised the country's righteous merchants, was suddenly surrounded, so we came over to see what happened. Bai's family The family donates educational funds every year to various government schools, county schools and rural schools in Jiangnan Province, and Mr. Mao Min also receives a lot of support from the Bai family. So"
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Understood, the ministers care about state affairs and are loyal. However, are these people brought by Brother Zisi?" Coercing the people and petitioning for the people are completely different things.
Meng Hao hurriedly said: "Students and others will not dare to do anything about coercion. These righteous people are all spontaneous"
Before he finished speaking, Jia Cong got on his horse again, looked down at the dark crowd of "righteous people", and said loudly: "The Jin Yiwei has set up a camp in Yangzhou Prefecture, on Phoenix Island. Now there is only half of the construction work left. , are about to recruit people to work. You righteous people are so loyal and loyal that you should not be left behind. After a stick of incense, the number of people present, names, and residential addresses will be counted. Tomorrow at the beginning of Mao hour (five o'clock in the morning), Phoenix Island will do Mao , Those who are registered but don¡¯t show up will be transported three thousand miles away!¡±
As soon as these remarks came out, the people present turned pale and tried to hide back as if they were avoiding the plague.
If there is anything in this world that is more terrifying to ordinary people than taxes, it must be corvee.
Taxes only cost money, but corvee work can cost your life!
Although corvees in this dynasty can be paid with money, if the government must recruit them, who can bear it?
So it didn¡¯t take a stick of incense at all. In just a blink of an eye, the originally surging crowd that wanted to uphold justice disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, Meng Hao, Meng Zisi and dozens of other scholars looked at Jia Cong in shock.
Rights, can they still be used like this?
