After everyone watched the Confucian giant move away with the charm of a master, Song Yan looked at Jia Cong and said, "Don't worry, Cong'er, Qian Minggong is a great man in the world. He can distinguish right from wrong and will not move you. You are still busy today, so go..."

Jia Cong was about to thank him and say goodbye, but the other old men stopped.

One of the rich old men said dissatisfiedly: "Duke Song Chan, although we are not as virtuous as humble and respectful as a common man, we are still alive and have some knowledge. Are we not worthy of meeting you, the disciple, and getting to know each other? Besides, last month, Mr. Yumin came to look for you, as a disciple, for a long time, and gave us a lot of instructions. It is unreasonable to see the master today if you don't know him."

The rich old man's words were echoed by four or five other old men with different heights, shortnesses, fatness, and thinness but with unpretentious demeanor.

Song Yanxu was tired and smiled and did not say anything.

Although Cao Yong also had white hair and beard, he was younger. He introduced to Jia Cong: "Little Qingchen... Cough, Qingchen, this is an old man from the Chu family in Jiangnan. He is called Chu Xin, and he is called Fat Chu..."

Before Cao Yong finished joking, Jia Cong bowed slightly to the rich old man and greeted him: "It turned out that it was Mr. Dongming in front of him, and boy Jia Cong was polite."

The Chu family is one of the thirteen prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River and ranks high.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the wife of the Zhen family, Zhen Yingjia, is the legitimate daughter of the Chu family.

Because the Jia family and the Zhen family also have old relatives, the Jia family and the Chu family also have a relationship.

Chu Dongming looked kind-hearted and listened to an old man who was warm and warm, and he looked at Jia Cong and said, "Okay, I am worthy of being the grandson of Xianrong Country, and I have the legacy of your grandfather."

After Jia Cong was humble, Cao Yong introduced him to four other old men, who were also the patriarchs of four of the thirteen families in Jiangnan, and were all respected.

After a while, Chu Dongming, who seemed to be the highest-ranking, smiled and said, "Qing minister, what you and Qian Ming Gong said before are true?"

Before Jia Cong answered, Cao Yong was unhappy and said, "Old man Dongming, what do you mean?"

Chu Dongming laughed and said, "Brother Runqin, don't be inseparable from good or bad. With Mr. Yumin and Mr. Song Chan here, what other bad intentions can I have? Not only do I have bad intentions, but I am a kind person. Think about it, even Mr. Qian Ming is disturbed by rumors and has doubts and misunderstandings, let alone others? Today, I will simply be the evil person and ask early, and it will be beneficial. After asking, I will hold a big banquet in Wangjiang Pavilion to welcome our Qing ministers to the evening."

Before Cao Yong refused, Jia Cong nodded and smiled, "There is no need to welcome the people... How dare I lie in front of the old man Qianming?"

Chu Dongming followed and asked, "Isn't it really coming for the new law?"

Jia Cong shook his head seriously and said, "I am only interested in learning in my age, but my talent is a little bit unfair. All the princes in the court are difficult to solve, so how dare I be arrogant? I am involved in disputes over the great things, so I really dare not have such a heart."

Chu Dongming nodded and said, "It is worthy of being conditioned by Mr. Yumin and Song Changong. Just relying on this knowledge, the younger generation will belong to you. Then... what happened to the account book you left behind by Liu Zhao? It was really burned? I am not afraid of anything. The Chu family and Liu Zhaosu have nothing to do with it. But you really want to have such things? Keeping it is a disaster or a blessing."

This can be seen as a kind of persuasion, but it can also be seen as a threat.

However, no matter what, Chu Dongming dared to interview these things in front of the commander of Jinyi, which shows how confident the Thirteen Jiangnan families are in the Jiangnan area!

Of course, he was right.

After the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao, with the power of great victory, swept the world, and confiscated the loyalty letter written by the internal generals to Yuan Shao, all had to be burned, let alone Jia Cong?

If you really want to use a box of so-called evidence to clear the world of Jiangnan, that is purely arbitrary.

This world has never been simple right or wrong, nor has it been pure...

Jia Cong laughed and nodded, "It's true that Liu Zhao is cunning. He keeps evidence of the account book for any person who colludes with him to threaten it. However, when the younger generation led people to kill Liu Zhao, the Qianhuo unfortunately caught fire and burned most of it, only a small part was rescued. As for the misfortune or a blessing... Let's talk about it. Just a piece of evidence of crime left by the traitor, it can't cause any big storm."

As he said that, Jia Cong's eyes swept around...

It was originally just a boring conversation, but the atmosphere around me was as cold as winter.

I don't know how many people were tense and looked at him with a serious expression.

When he heard that Liu Zhaocun had an account book, many people's eyes showed shock, anger and even murderous intent.

However, when I heard that most of the burning was destroyed, my face was relieved, leaving only a little bit of surprise.

This is true for people's hearts. As long as there is a possible way out, most people will lose their courage to burn their boats, break the dead and burn their bodies together.

After he smiled and withdrew his gaze, Jia Cong looked at Chu Dongming again.

Chu Dong was obviously not very satisfied with Jia Cong's words, but he had no good idea.

After all, Song Yan was still sitting aside, although he was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, Chu Dongming understood that as long as Song Yan sat there, he would be a warning to many people...

After a pause, Chu Dongming sighed lightly and looked at Jia Cong and said, "I have seen this person Liu Zhao, and I am quite humble and polite. I really can't tell that he has the intention to rebel... Now it seems that people really cannot behave like a person.

But I can't even see through it, and I don't think anyone else can see through it.

Because I know that I am closer to Song Chan, there are quite a few people coming to plead with me these days. I hope that I will persuade Song Chan to let him give you a try. I have not spoken publicly to Song Chan because I know his temperament and character, and you are his most proud disciple of the closed family.

But today I am shy and want to ask you for personal favors from Qingchen.

There are several door shop businesses where Liu Zhao only owns some shares and does not interfere in the business. Moreover, I dare to protect myself, so they are definitely the only ones with a clean and upright family tradition.

They make a living by making a small business so that they can study safely.

Qingchen, look..."

After hearing this, Jia Cong looked at Song Yan, who was still half-closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep, and smiled and said, "Mr. Dongming speaks, how dare you refuse? In this way, please trouble Mr. Dongming to tell those companies that you can buy them with money. For Mr. Dongming, the boy will not pay a high price."

In fact, he was negotiating the price in front of the great scholar... Many people looked weird, but Chu Dongming was concerned about: "Redeem the dry shares that Liu Zhaozha had?"

Jia Cong shook his head and smiled, and said, "All."

When Chu Dongming heard this, his face, who was originally smiling kindly, was a little overwhelmed. If he bought it at full price, the price would be too high.

He wanted to say something else, but Song Yan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him and said, "Just do it. If anyone is still dissatisfied, let him come and find me."

When Chu Dongming heard this, the corner of his old face twitched and said, "Well, I'm done with kindness and righteousness. Let's talk about it...ah!" He said to Song Yan with a smile again, "Don't blame me for bullying the young for being the old. Those families can still sit still. They rely on Mr. Song Chan and Mr. Yumin to take charge, but they are almost out of patience. I really don't want Mr. Song Chan, you, to be a proud disciple, to be used as a knife to conflict with those local families in Jiangnan..."

Song Yan nodded slowly when he heard this and said, "Dongming doesn't need to say much, I understand, Cong'er understands too."

After saying that, he compared Jia Cong with his eyes and said, "I'll go back after seeing your three senior brothers. I've occupied the dock for so long, so it's not easy to delay any more."

After Jia Cong responded, he bowed to the three middle-aged and elderly men standing behind Song Yan and said, "I have met three senior brothers."

These three people are Song Yan's three sons, and they have all retired now...

The eldest son Song Xian, the second son Song Yuan and the third son Song Ye.

The three of them greeted Jia Cong with a smile on their faces, and agreed that after they gathered at the Song Mansion tomorrow, Jia Cong would say goodbye to Song Yan, Cao Yong and other old men.

After the ceremony, I turned my back and went to the outside world.

But I couldn't go back to the city directly. After only walking for dozens of steps, I had to stop again.

Because the official signs of seven or eight officials, including the governor of Jiangnan Province, the prefect of Jinling, and the magistrate of Jiangning County, were erected on the roadside.

It seems that these new party backbone and old party giants such as Song Yan and Cao Yong are really not in conflict with each other. Maybe they have met before, but they are just meeting each other, and the rest of the time is clearly divided.

There were several official chairs under several cool umbrellas on the side of the road, and seven or eight men in official uniforms sat.

He doesn't look good and his eyes don't look good either...

The official wearing a second-grade replenishment uniform was even more expressionless.

I think that what Jia Cong said before and the old stubborn stones who blocked the passage of the new law have already been passed here.

Especially after repeated determination, he would not interfere in the implementation of the new law.

This obviously made the members of the new party extremely unhappy...

When Jia Cong drove the horses and pulled the horses, the governors and officials assisted the two officials, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, the Tongzhi, the judge, the county magistrate of Jiangning County and other officials stood up to greet them.

Only Tang Yan, the governor of Jiangnan who was sitting in the middle, did not stand up, because the old stubborn people had not stood up just now, how could he reduce his identity?

But to his expectations, he did not get up to greet him, and Jia Cong did not even dismount...

Seeing this, Tang Yan's displeasure and disgust instantly turned into extreme disgust.

He had no ability to govern, but he was very good at the way to please the officialdom, so he could reach the top.

Even if I didn’t like Jia Cong, I could still be a fool.

What's more, Fang Yue and others had some suggestions last night...

But what Fang Yue and others didn't know was that Tang Yan once had a relative of his sister who married Zhang Qun, the former left minister of the Zhongli Fenyuan, and gave birth to a daughter named Zhang Yi.

When Zhang Yi grew up, she was selected into the palace and was later favored and named as one of the four concubines, Shufei.

This is Tang Yan's serious niece, but he was shot into the cold palace by the angry empress dowager because of his involvement in the affairs of Jia Cong and Ye Qing, and Zhang Qun was exiled to death.

This should have been Tang Yan's greatest help and political resource in his life, and he could even be grateful to the three generations.

But it was absent because of a sudden attack. How could this not make Tang Yan feel extremely heartbroken and hateful?

He dared not hate the Empress Dowager, nor could he reach to hate Ye Qing, so he could only hate Jia Cong, a "shameless villain".

Originally, Jia Congruo honestly followed the new party plan and made a knife every bit, and after using it, he could "break it" himself, so he could also play tricks and greet him with a smile.

But after hearing Jia Cong's previous statement, Tang Yan could not suppress the disgust in his heart.

Seeing Jia Cong so rude, he didn't even get down on his horse, and looked down on him from a high point, and he was even more furious.

He looked at Jia Cong and said coldly: "Mr. Jia, the emperor and Yuan Fu ordered you to come to Jiangnan. Is it just for you to make trouble? What's the use of not coming for the new law? You'd better have an explanation for what you said just now!"

The crowd around was quiet, but there were some noises coming from the old party camp not far behind.

Before Jia Cong could wait for reinforcements, he sat down and laughed loudly, his laughter filled with sarcasm.

Seeing that Tang Yan's eyes became more and more angry, Jia Cong stopped laughing and raised his chin slightly and said loudly: "I'll give you an explanation? Lord Tang, you'd better understand your own position.

I, Jia Qingchen, have been doing my life, why should I explain to you? A joke!"

After saying that, ignoring the "good words of advice" by the prefect of Yingtianfu and others who wanted to be the intermediary, Jia Cong raised his horse's whip, threw out a whip, and let out a whip, and the horse was lowered to rise up and ran forward.

"drive!"

Hundreds of Brilliant Clothing Cavalry followed closely, and three thousand tigers followed.

At this moment, a sudden burst of intense zither sound came from the northwest, and a person with a wise voice blurted out:

"This is the joy of the King of Qin breaking the formation!!"

When Tang Yan heard this, he felt a bloody smell surge into his throat, his fists clenched, and he hated and wanted to be crazy.
