"Sir, why don't you let me go?"

In the tea station, Zhan Peng said unprecedentedly.

Jia Cong ordered 1,500 Jinyi soldiers to launch six routes and rush straight to Yangzhou Prefecture.

But Zhan Peng, Chen Yan and twenty of his personal soldiers carrying strange "iron sticks" were stayed.

Zhan Peng can't join in such a lively drama, so he wants to die.

Jia Cong glanced at him, looked at the tea lady who had made the tea again, and asked Zhan Peng: "Didn't you tell me that when Liu Zhao sent someone to chase you and you were seriously injured, was you rescued by the tea lady here? Today I saw my life-savior, why don't you thank me?"

Tea Lady is a middle-aged woman in her thirties. She has no makeup on her face, but her charm remains.

After hearing what Jia Cong said, the tea lady's face stopped and looked at Zhan Peng.

Zhan Peng complained to Jia Cong: "Sir, didn't you say it's hard to expose the Thirteenth Lady? If someone hears it, Liu Zhao still has some of his minions and accomplices who have not cleared them and cause trouble for others!"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "With you, Hero Zhan, will you, dare to make trouble with Thirteen Niang?"

The tea lady reappeared on her polite smile, changed the tea on Jia Cong's table, and said, "The great official is just a joking task, it's nothing..."

Jia Cong's eyes fell on the face of the tea lady and said, "I heard from Zhan Peng that if Thirteen Niang had not been clever and hid him in the water tank, he would have been unable to escape the pursuit of Liu Zhao's disciples. At that time, the entire Jiangnan was Liu Zhao's people. Thirteen Niang dared to sacrifice herself to save others in front of Liu Zhao's sacrificial way! I admire him."

The tea lady smiled and said, "The great official has been rewarded, and he dare not be a person who sacrificed himself to save others. I am just a person who runs a tea station to make a living, so how can he be brave or not? That day I just saw this brother... This adult was in trouble and helped him. We opened a tea station and ate the world's food first. We were loyal to them. Those who went back and forth were supported by them. If anyone could help, try to help.

Do good deeds and get good rewards! Now, this adult has transformed into a big tree, and our tea station can also enjoy the cool under the big tree!"

Zhan Peng smiled when he heard this, and patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, if you have any problems in the future, just go to the Baihu Office to report my name!"

The Tea Lady was so happy that she thanked her repeatedly.

Jia Cong watched from the side, nodded, and smiled, "Thirteen Niang said this, but... In Yangzhou Prefecture, eighty-year-olds make a living by the word "salt".

The eight major salt merchants are rich enough to rival a country.

There are countless people who go to private salt behind them, including the Jianghu of Yangzhou Prefecture and the big trees of Yangzhou Prefecture.

Thirteen Niang often has contacts with them, so I must arrange for it and take care of it more carefully."

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Peng's face changed and he looked at Jia Cong in confusion.

However, the tea lady's face remained unchanged and said with a smile: "Build a seven-star stove, cook three rivers with copper pots, and set up the eight immortal tables, and everyone comes to visit. The adults said that salt merchants are private salt, but the slave really doesn't know. When they meet, they laugh, and tea will be cold when people leave. A woman from my family makes a living by making a living by tea. How can she know what kind of world is not? "

Jia Cong smiled and nodded, saying, "It makes sense..."

Zhan Penghai breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Jia Cong would say something else, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Sir, what are we doing here?"

Jia Cong said: "Wait for someone."

"Wait for someone?"

Zhan Peng was puzzled, so he met Shen Lang, who was expressionless, walked in and said in a deep voice: "Sir, you are here."

Everyone looked out together and saw a carriage in front of the Tea House slowly stopping from under the protection of more than a dozen slaves.

Soon after, the car door opened, and an old man in a lightweight outer uniform was helped off the car by a pair of maids.

When everyone else saw this old man, the only thing that the tea lady narrowed her eyes slightly and her face changed...

Jia Cong clearly looked ahead, but seemed to have eyes on the side, and asked without looking back: "Thirteen Niang knows this person?"

Tea Lady smiled unnaturally and said, "Old Master Zhao of the Zhao family is a great charity that everyone admires in Yangzhou Prefecture. Who doesn't know?"

Jia Cong chuckled and nodded, "Yes, but many people know Thirteen Niang... They are so righteous, and even I have heard of the Tea Thirteen Niang, who is known as the female Bodhisattva in the world."

When the tea lady heard this, her face became more and more unnatural. She smiled and was about to say something, but she saw Jia Cong get up and greet the person.

"I have met Zhao Pu, the old Zhao family."

The old man who came to meet was gray-haired, but his breath was calm and he politely held his fists to greet him.

Jia Cong was not arrogant either. After all, he was old. He nodded and smiled and said, "I originally thought that the old man would not come... sit down."

After Zhao Pu was helped by two girls with exactly the same appearance, the tea lady beside him hurriedly poured tea for him.

However, Zhao Pu did not drink it after thanking him. There was a accompanying housekeeper outside who brought in a food box, took out a beautiful teapot and tea cup, poured tea and water.

Zhao Pu apologized to Jia Cong: "I am old and I am not used to using the raw water outside, which makes adults laugh. If the adults trust me, I might as well taste the tea I brought. I am not good at gold, silver and wealth, and I am not good at fine wine and beauty, but I love only one tea."

Jia Cong smiled heartily and said, "Most of the good tea are elegant people. Good, I will taste the tea from the old man."

Hearing this, a maid beside Zhao Pu hurriedly poured a cup of tea for him. Jia Cong sipped and exclaimed: "The tea tastes light and bitter, and then it is sweet and mellow, with endless aftertaste. Good tea."

At this time, the night was getting darker. Looking east from now on, you can see the stars and lights in Yangzhou Prefecture.

However, there are also a few places that seem to have gone through water and the fires soar into the sky!

After Zhao Pu took a look, he lowered his heavy eyes and sighed softly.

Jia Cong didn't speak, but just quietly admired the increasingly brilliant "fireworks" in the distance...

In the end, Zhao Pusi couldn't sit still and raised his eyes and said, "Sir, the Bai family is the national charity business chosen by the Tian family!"

Jia Cong heard it strangely and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Pu twitched the corners of his mouth and exclaimed in his heart, why did Daqian have such a monster?!

He said helplessly: "I dare not hide it from it. If the Bai family was removed from the list today, the other seven major salt merchants, including my Zhao family, would have the intention to retreat. At this point, I understand whether I say it or not, so I simply opened up the conversation...

Lord, there is no salt merchant in Daqian who does not sell private salt. If we do not sell private salt, we will not even be able to make up all the money we supply to everywhere every year.”

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Old man, I know all these principles. Although I am not old, I will not naively think that the world is either white or black.

Everyone has his own unspoken rules and his way of survival.

I am just the commander of the Jinyiwei, not the chief minister of the cabinet, and I have no idea of ​​changing the rules of the world."

"Then now this is..."

Zhao Pu asked in confusion.

Jia Cong tapped the table gently with his fingers and said, "People should have self-knowledge. Since they have chosen to be a businessman, then they should be a businessman in full swing.

It is a sin to corrupt officials with gold, silver and beautiful colors.

He also used this as a handle to threaten and coerce, and used his authority as his own...

This is the intention to rebel.

Yangzhou Prefecture is the Emperor's Yangzhou Prefecture, the Yangzhou Prefecture that contributes to all people, not the Yangzhou Prefecture of any merchant.

The Zhao family has always done a good job in this regard. The emperor is very pleased, and I am also very pleased.

Therefore, I invited the elderly to come and have tea."

The words that were neither light nor heavy made Zhao Pu sweat.

He understood that the powerful noble young man in front of him was not only knocking on the Bai family, but also drawing a red line for merchants all over the world.

Those who cross the line will die!!

What a great spirit...

The Bai family... This is a difficult time.

As if seeing through Zhao Pu’s thoughts, Jia Cong shook his head and said, “I won’t be able to cleanse my family, you can rest assured that this is the case. It won’t make you eight salt merchants feel like they are dead and their teeth are cold…”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pu suddenly looked up and looked at Jia Cong in disbelief.

At this age, he was really a little too big, and the two maids behind him looked at him worriedly.

The tea lady beside her also looked at Jia Cong with shock.

Not the white family was washed away by blood, but the fire in Yangzhou Prefecture soared into the sky, and even the shouts of killing could be heard. Who are you killing?

Jia Cong laughed and said, "The old man can't think of who is in trouble?"

Zhao Pu’s lifelong experience in the world played a role at this moment: “The four great kings under the Bai family?”

Jia Cong shook his head and said, "At most three."

Zhao Pu suddenly took a deep breath and said, "As far as I know, the three families transferred most of the Yanding family to the Bai family to guard it, this..."

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Yes, it was intentional, deliberately alarming the snake."

Zhao Pu said again: "There is an accident between Qi family, Ran family, and Kong family. Qi Gang, Ran Hou and Kong Ying must be transferred to rescue him. On the way..."

Jia Cong said: "There will be someone waiting for them."

Zhao Pu looked at Jia Cong straight, and after a while, he sighed: "I am convinced! Without the private salt supplement, even if the adults do not take action against the Bai family, his family will not be able to hold on for long. Moreover, the Bai family will leave a vacant salt channel, and they will be immediately overwhelmed. The Bai family... is worse than death, and they can only wait for death.

I'm afraid that Bai Shijie will be anxious and jumping over the wall..."

Jia Cong smiled, sipped a sip of tea, and looked at Zhao Pu and said, "That's why I invited the old man to come out for tea. I need the old man to guarantee me that the salt road cannot be messed up, the salt price cannot rise, and the most important thing is that Yangzhou Prefecture cannot be messed up. Can it be done?"

When Zhao Pu heard this, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and his old face was full of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Jia Cong raised his eyebrows and said, "If the old man is in a dilemma, I will not force it. Tomorrow, I will invite Shanxi merchants, Shandong merchants and Guangdong merchants to have a banquet at Liuyun Pavilion..."

Zhao Pu's expression finally changed drastically when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I guarantee you, you will definitely be foolproof!"

The eight major salt merchants that are now entrenched in Yangzhou Prefecture are basically from Hui merchants.

Their ancestors spent many generations of people paying for many prices and even their lives to occupy this "sea of ​​gold and silver". No matter how hard they do, they can't let others get involved.

Absolutely not possible!

Jia Cong nodded after hearing this and said, "Then let it be, it's too late, so let's go back and rest."

Zhao Pu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Stop..." It would be a blessing for him to sniff for a moment tonight.

But he still stood up and said goodbye: "I dare not delay the major affairs."

After saying that, two pretty maids helped them board the carriage and left.

After watching Zhao Pu leave, Jia Cong called out Zhan Peng who was about to pour a cup of tea and drank by himself, and said, "You should pay homage to Thirteen Niang for this cup of tea. After the respect, we should also set off."

Zhan Peng was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "What the sir is saying..." As he said that, he handed the teacup in his hand to the tea lady.

But I saw that the tea lady's face gradually pale...
Chapter completed!
