Yangzhou Prefecture.

Jiangnan Governor Guo Zhao sat on the main yamen with a gloomy expression, looking at the several dirty-faced Fubiao camp officials kneeling there in a mess, with anger in their eyes.

He did not expect that his subordinates had reached this point and went to various places to arrest the Zhao clan members, but they could be blocked back.

"Master Futai, it's not that the humble ranks are not attentive, but really... we can't even get into the place!"

The official of the first battalion complained.

Guo Zhao said sternly: "What kind of bastards are this? Is there any king's land under the world? Is there any king's minister under the shore of the land? You are the official of the Fubiao camp, where can you go to Jiangnan?"

The camp officer said in a daze: "Last night, after receiving the order, the humble officials rushed to Shuanggou, Hangji, Yiling, Shatou, Guazhou and other places near Yangzhou Prefecture overnight. Who knew that every place they went, there would be about twenty students. Juren stood in the right path, drinking and having fun, reciting poems and writing. When the humble officials wanted to go there, they were spitting their faces full of dust. They were all students with fame and fortune, Juren, and a military officer, who dared to do anything to them..."

Guo Zhao almost got angry when he heard this and said angrily: "Then you just come back like this? Waste! Waste!"

The governor can directly order the elimination of the students and the reputation of the juren, and remove the Qing Jin.

But he didn't expect that those scholars would be so bold.

The battalion officer shook his head and said, "The lowly ranks originally wanted to pass the barriers with a tough rank. After all, they only had about twenty people. Even if they were scolded in person and poured wine on the face, the lowly ranks would endure it. After taking down the people, the Futai University master would make the decision. But who knew that before the lowly ranks could break through, another group of white-haired old men came, all of whom were the hometown elders and lords from all over the country..."

When Guo Zhao heard this, he slapped the desk beside him with anger and let out a "bang".

The force of the shock almost broke his wrist bone, making his black face white...

Zhuge Tai, the solemn censor, waved his hand, first asked the battalion officials below to retreat, and then said to Guo Zhao: "Futai, it seems that the families in Jiangnan have taken action. They are so fast..."

Guo Zhao said angrily: "Yangzhou Prefecture is the key place for each company to run, and their unclear relationship with those salt merchants is naturally faster than us. But Benfu didn't expect that when they reached this point, how could they dare to defend their rebellion so blatantly!"

Zhuge Tai smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, they did not fight openly. Such methods are really a headache. Now I don't know if the people who went to Liangxi from the Jinyiwei succeeded."

When Guo Zhao heard this, he frowned and said, "There is definitely no problem over there. Although Jia Qingchen is not old, he is very skilled in acting. He is well aware of the principle of speed in military service. He sent Tiqi to Liangxi before the news came out. At this moment, he was afraid that he would be back soon. Alas, it was all incompetent under our command. If there were subordinates like Jia Qingchen, how could he be so cowardly?"

Zhuge Tai shook his head and said, "It's not the fault of the people below. After all, we still have to talk to those families. They can stop them for a while, but not for a lifetime. They can stop us, but also for the Jinyiwei. We will be blocked by worldly rules. There is no taboo in the Jinyiwei. If you really want to cut off a head, the rest of the people will scatter.

Lord Futai, I heard that except for the four families in Jinling, the other seven families, together with the eight clan leaders of the Zhen family, all arrived in Yangzhou Prefecture and moved into Lianyuan. They negotiated with us, and before the negotiations were made, they would not give in to us.

They may already know that the Jinyiwei will not interfere for the time being..."

When Guo Zhao heard this, he took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

He was originally a very capable person who should not be so happy and angry.

It’s just that his career that concerns his life will be successful, but it’s stuck here, making him inevitably lose his composure.

However, he vented his anger a little, and he returned to his rationality, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Negotiation? At this point, they still played such a trick that they could not stand up, which shows that the skills of the many families in Jiangnan are exhausted."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Tai's eyes flashed with a strange look, and his evaluation of this master of knife insertion was a little higher. He nodded and said, "It's true. I just don't know what bottom line they want to keep..."

Guo Zhao sneered and said, "Keep the bottom line? The new law is in Jiangnan's great journey, and no one can stop it. If we really need to settle the veins of Qin and Zhao families, which of them can escape from the relationship? The only bottom line is to implement the new law without reservation and hand over excess land. These companies occupy the most fertile land in Jiangnan. Jiangnan is clearly a fertile land in the world, but the land tax revenue is not as good as that in other medium-sized provinces. It is simply crazy and lawless! This time, for the sake of the country and country of Daqian and the great cause of the new law, we will never be ruthless! Now, it depends on whether they have the courage to break the brink of death with us and burn together!"

...

Yangzhou North City, Jianzi Lane.

In the innermost house, there were more than a dozen big men guarding the courtyard.

Outside the house, four or five old women were sitting seriously.

In the inner part, Aunt You, the guardian of the Mingxiang Sect, sat quietly there, behind her, a graceful young woman combing her hair...

The girl looked good but her face was full of worry. She was holding a comb and combing her lightly, and she said a little dissatisfied: "Aunt You, we are clearly incompatible with Guardian Wu and others. We have always been rivals. Why do you have to take the risk to save them?"

There are rivers and lakes where there are people. The Mingxiang Sect is not a famous family, and the private struggle is extremely cruel.

Aunt You was originally a guardian of the saint of Mingxiang Sect. Her status was respectful and transcendent, and she was even more above Wu Zhen.

It was just because she did not agree to the leader who deposed the original saint and supported a woman of unknown origin as a saint. As a result, the saint who was like her was killed for failing to murder the new saint, she was furious and left the church.

Later, the Mingxiang Sect experienced drastic changes, and all the leaders of the sects went to the sects overnight.

Only one of the four great guardians left is Wu Zhen to survive.

She returned to the Mingxiang Sect and rebuilt the Holy Sect with her old rival Wu Zhen.

Although the two of them are in conflict with each other and their subordinates often plot against each other and fight, they are still the same in the relationship between Mingxiang Sect.

Aunt You said hoarsely, "Min'er, don't say anything like this. If only Wu Zhen fell, it would be fine, but there is still a leader in it. If there is no Zhao family covering it, it will be difficult for my Holy Sect to survive over the years. Although the leader is young, he is very talented and not inferior to his former leader, and he is even better."

The girl called Min'er seemed disdainful when she heard this and sneered: "If she was really so powerful, she wouldn't have been caught by the queen mother's nephew's granddaughter."

As an underground force rooted in Jiangnan, there are few things they cannot inquire about.

What happened that night? Aunt You and the others had already found out clearly.

They had nothing to say except sighing that good fortune was awesome.

"shut up!"

After stopping the girl, Aunt You stood up, turned to look at Min'er, and said in a deep voice: "I will send someone to send you to the Jiangbei branch in a while. There is Tieguai Li's territory. This time he has not come. If we succeed in the rescue, we will leave Yangzhou Prefecture overnight and rush there. You are responsible for the support. If not... Min'er, from now on, you will wash your hands and find a small city to retire. Remember, don't think about avenging us. There is one thing you are right. The leader is already a talented and talented. Unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time and met two more powerful people. We are not the opponents of that pair. If you go... you are not enough to send someone to death, you can only die in vain. Do you understand?"

...

Outside Yangzhou City, on the West Lake.

The sunset shines in the west.

The exquisite pleasure boat slowly floats on the lake, experiencing the 24 scenic spots including the Shushi Cave Heaven, the Qushui River in the West Garden, the Hongqiao Bridge, the evening light of Shugang, the green pine tree, the twin peaks, the clouds in the mountains, the wilderness of the water, and the red clouds in the water.

At this moment, the lake surface shone with sunset, and the night fog gradually rose, making it more and more beautiful and thrilling.

Jia Cong, Daiyu, and Ye Qing climbed into the four-corner pavilion on the second floor of the pleasure boat. Looking at the beautiful scenery in the world, his eyes flashed, and for a moment, he didn't even want to say anything.

A gust of evening breeze blew, and Daiyu was weak and she shivered.

Seeing this, Jia Cong took off the silver fox cloak behind him, put it on her shoulder, and asked her to tie the silk ribbons by herself.

Daiyu's originally cold and white pretty face rose a hint of flushing, especially when she saw Ye Qing's smile on her side, she became more and more embarrassed. She wanted to return the cloak to Jia Cong, but she felt that doing so would make her feel more and more guilty.

Hesitated, his appearance became even more pitiful.

Ye Qing laughed out loud when he saw it, and the clear laughter floated on the surface of the Slender West Lake and spread to the distance.

Seeing that Daiyu was determined to take off her cloak, Ye Qing hugged Daiyu and smiled and said, "No need to take it, go down. The wind in the south can penetrate it, and it can't stop the wind even if it is thick. I feel that the cold is refreshing, so how can my sister stand it?"

When Daiyu heard this, she looked at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, although the scenery is beautiful, there is no need to rush to see it all in one day. Today I saw the West Lake. After the New Year, we will go to Lin'an to see the real West Lake. I think there will be another charm."

Daiyu was happy when she heard this, and looked at Ye Qing and said, "Sister is going to Lin'an too? Why not wait until the New Year is over?"

Ye Qing smiled and stroked the ends of Daiyu's forehead, saying, "It's better to be my sister, but I'm afraid I can't wait. I'm going to return to Beijing before the Qianqiu Festival in March next year, time is too tight."

Seeing Daiyu's face faded, Ye Qing instead comforted her: "It doesn't matter, we are older, there are opportunities in the future. My sister needs to maintain a good body. Although she doesn't have to be as strong as me, she must be stronger..." After saying that, she glanced at Jia Cong who was cheering and said, "I said I am strong, so Coke is that?"

Jia Cong laughed and shook his head and said, "No, the Qing prince is telling the truth. What's the fun of it? Haha!" Seeing that both girls looked at him with a bad expression, Jia Cong hurriedly said, "Okay, it's getting colder, hurry up and go and warm up. After dinner, I should go and do it."

The two of them then gave up, jokingly and walked down.

Jia Cong looked back at the shining lights in the garden on the shore, and after a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, he turned around and strode down the pleasure boat.
