What Wang Jinyuan said is like a cone that holds Qi Zhiyuan's heart.

What a person he is, how could he suffer such humiliation? So he sneered repeatedly.

Wang Jinyuan looked at Qi Zhiyuan with his hands behind his back and looked at him contemptuously: "Are you still wondering if the world has changed today? You are just a canfly and a chariot mantis. You dare to imagine that you are a chess player? Your destiny has been arranged by Duke Qi. Now, you dare to be arrogant?"

"You...no one can arrange for me, at worst... you can kill me." Qi Zhiyuan's face was ferocious and shouted loudly.

He is unwilling to give up, and he will never give up. How can you say what you have done for more than ten generations of family business?

What's more, he is not alone, how many aristocratic tribes in Jiangnan will be at your mercy?

Wang Jinyuan looked at Qi Zhiyuan with a expressionless face, as if he was silent for him: "You must be thinking that even if the mortgaged land was taken away, the land bought by the five million taels of silver is still yours. Although you have suffered heavy losses, you still have a lot of land in your hands, so... no one can do anything to you?"

This... really hit Qi Zhiyuan's heart.

good……

It's not that he has no trump card.

Although the ancestral land was confiscated as collateral, I still had a large amount of land I purchased. As long as the family business is not lost, what are you afraid of?

He was just angry that he was deceived by Wang Jinyuan.

"Natural!" Wang Jinyuan said lightly.

"You..." Qi Zhiyuan wanted to step forward, but at this moment he was completely angry.

But there were a few guards who wanted to intercept him.

Wang Jinyuan was still holding his hands behind his back, looking at Qi Zhiyuan with a smile: "Didn't you figure it out that things are over now? Your ancestral land has been confiscated. Oh, no, not only you, but also many people. All the land they passed down has been in the hands of Xishan Money House. Xishan Money House now has a large amount of land and will be released for rent-free. At that time, what is the use of the land in your hands? How many tenants can your land attract? How much value is the grain grown? "

"From the beginning, you will be destined to be defeated, because... if the Duke of Qi wants you to die, there will be a thousand ways to make you die without a place to bury you. After that, today, the court can come up with a plan to benefit farmers, and tomorrow... the court can still issue an order to increase your taxes. Even if the court changes its plans, it will not allow people like you to keep slaves and servants, do you see... are you dead?"

"The reason why my Duke of Qi has tried to deceive you is because my Duke of Qi is a reasonable person. At least... he knows that there are rules. He is too kind-hearted. Otherwise, he will rush into your house and beat you to death, so what? If he lets someone sprinkle salt on your field, what can you do? That's why I repeatedly said that Duke of Qi is Duke of Qi. My young master is really amazing. He can beat you to death, but he is willing to use his brain. This is his rare and precious thing. And you, you are a dog-like thing, still don't know what you are. I think you are used to being arrogant in Nanzhili, and you are so ignorant. At this moment, I don't know how to be grateful to my young master, and you dare to come to the door, don't you still want to hit someone?"

Qi Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, but he felt vaguely... It seemed that what Wang Jinyuan said was quite reasonable.

Wang Jinyuan raised a mocking sneer on his lips and said, "While my young master is still reasoning with you, submit to you, that is your fate, but if you are still obsessed with it, you will be dead, someone will come to see you off, and you will drive this dog out for me."

This Qi Zhi is changing in the distance.

He was still unwilling to accept it, but now... he felt despair in his heart.

He glared at Wang Jinyuan with a ferocious face and said, "Do you think the emperor would let you be so arrogant and let the country be unstable and trust the Duke of Qi easily? Haha... Now the Duke of Wei's mansion... is ill-intentioned, even the imperial envoy sent was bribed. At this time... Your Majesty will kill us? You merchants, you only look at the benefits in front of you, but you still have few books, haha..."

He shouted and laughed, and was taken out by the guards.

Until he walked away, he was still shouting: "Let's wait and see! Then, someone will make the decision for us!"

…………

The gentry from Jiangnan gathered in Nanjing.

Immediately, the miserable people came to the Nanjing Rites Hall.

Hundreds of people kneeled down here.

Qi Zhiyuan beat his chest and fell to his feet, and this time he hit the front again.

Almost everyone was ashamed, and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue did not dare to neglect them, and immediately sent the confession of the gentry to the Nanjing Minister of Revenue Liu Yi.

Liu Yi was full of sympathy for these gentry.

Even the gentry can't survive anymore. Can the world be better?

He immediately ordered people to invite the various departments and ministers here.

The temples sat down, and each of them looked solemn.

Someone began to complain: "It's really not yet settled, and the waves are rising again and again. The imperial envoy killed people, and the Xishan money house embezzled and defrauded the gentry's land. What happened? At this time, you can't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore. You need to appease the gentry first and then report to the court. Oh... let's seek justice for them."

"But it's really awkward to so many people kneel outside like this. I'd better advise them to go back first and wait for the news. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke?"

"They have already said it clearly." Liu Yi stroked his beard and was angry: "If you don't seek justice today, you would rather die here. They will not disperse. Do you still have to ask for troops to drive them away? In an extraordinary time... we can't be the leader, but to be honest, this Xishan Money House is too much. And what kind of imperial envoy... He is still hiding in Xiaoling Mausoleum and is lawless. Now these people have handed over the confession, one is to seek justice. The second is to be the leader of the imperial envoy, saying that this imperial envoy must have colluded with the Xishan Money House and cause trouble..."

When Liu Yi said this, he showed a little admiration on his face.

I have to say that those who have read books are those who have read books, and they can even think of colluding with the Xishan Money House and the imperial envoy.

After all... the imperial envoy killed the minister without permission, which was a death sentence. Now he deliberately contacted Xishan Money House, which was nothing more than asking Xishan Money House to have another additional evidence of the crime.

"Well, hurry up and make a comment."

"I heard that the British Duke Zhang Mao is about to arrive. He is also here by order this time. He is an imperial envoy, but he doesn't know how to deal with the Hanlin of Xiaoling. So please ask the British Duke to clean up the situation."

The officials were determined to discuss it, but they shook their heads.

…………

Zhang Mao’s men can be said to be step by step, just to prevent changes.

The vast army and horses crossed the river to Zhenjiang and then arrived at Shitou City. Before entering Nanjing, they issued a military order first. Zhang Mao's troops exchanged defenses with the Nanjing garrison troops.

When Zhang Mao rode a horse into the city, officials from the six ministries of Nanjing led officials and gentry to the city gate to greet him.

The head of the Ministry of Revenue Liu Yi, the Minister of Revenue, spoke, and then the noise broke out behind him.

However, Qi Zhiyuan and others flocked to the ground and shouted loudly: "Please be the master of the British..."

"If we have a huge grievance, if the British Duke refuses to make decisions, the students will be killed and killed to the point where they will die."

Not only the gentry, but many scholars along the way also started to clamor, and the scene was huge.

So the accompanying army and horses immediately became alert.

Zhang Mao was brave and turned over and dismounted, walking forward alone.

He looked around and saw these gentry and scholars excitedly. He saw Liu Yi and others... looking like they were standing by, but they did not stop him. Zhang Mao said seriously: "I am ordered to dispatch troops to rotate defense. What are your grievances? A rough man, and he is just a new generation, can you tell what is right and wrong? Why don't you decide to the local parents?"

Qi Zhiyuan and others made up their minds today, so they cried and said, "One of us, we will report to the Xishan Money House, and the other hand, the imperial envoy will collude with him. Only the British Duke can make the decision on this matter."

Zhang Mao came here on order, and to prevent any chaotic situation in Jiangnan.

Who knew that as soon as he came, he encountered such a thing, and it also involved Xishan Money House and the imperial envoy.

When he arrived in Zhenjiang, he knew that the imperial envoy killed Zuo Deputy Censor, which was a crime of death. However, he was the imperial envoy, and even himself could not do anything. In this matter, the emperor had to make the decision.

It’s a pity... I heard that Your Majesty has not seen any foreign minister recently and lives in the palace. Everything is only issued, and there is no decision on the murder of the imperial envoy. It is strange.

Zhang Mao was puzzled, looking at the situation in front of him, he cheered up. Seeing the gentry kowtowed like pounding garlic, there were many scholars around him making noise, and the crowds were filled with resentment.

He thought... If we don't give them an explanation today, it would be impossible for these people to make trouble!

But... said Xishan had robbed their land forcibly? But I don't know what the kid Jifan had to hide, but hey, I asked me to clean up the mess for him.

So he calmed down and said, "Come, please come and invite the imperial envoy from Xiaoling Mausoleum to come down the mountain. As for the Xishan Money House... we will also send people to ask the person in charge of the affairs. It is better to ask about the right and wrong."

He paused and looked at Qi Zhiyuan and others without any doubt and said, "You will enter the city with me and I will talk about everything later."

Qi Zhiyuan turned his head slightly and exchanged a wink with a gentleman beside him.

The gentleman nodded to him secretly.

In fact, they all knew that the British Duke and the Duke of Qi were family friends. Just looking for the British Duke to make decisions for him, I was afraid that the board would be raised and finally let it go. But today, I would let the Duke of Britain know what the consequences would be if the people in Jiangnan deviated from their hearts.

What they want is that today's things can reach the heavens' listening!
