The Yangzhou City camp was located ten miles west of Yangzhou City. When Jia Xuan arrived outside the military camp under the protection of his personal guards. After receiving the news, Liu Cheng led the ten commanders of the Yangzhou camp and waited respectfully for Jia Xuan at the camp gate.
"Greetings, Commander." Everyone greeted him with military courtesy.
"No need for formalities." Jia Xuan came to the drill ground of the central army under the escort of the generals.
"Gather the generals!" Jia Xuan said.
Immediately, the sound of drums rang out. The drill ground was immediately filled with noise as countless soldiers ran towards it.
In a few breaths, the entire drill ground split into ten square formations, each of which had about a thousand people. As for the Prestige Guards that Liu Cheng brought, they surrounded Jia Xuan.
At this moment, Liu Cheng whispered in his ear,"Sir, the Yangzhou camp has a full 10,000 people. In fact, there are more than 8000 people." The other battalions were short of less than a hundred people, only the 3rd Battalion was short of seven hundred. It was simply audacious and appalling.”
Jia Xuan thought to himself, a battalion only has a thousand people and lacks seven hundred members. How greedy must they be to dare to fight like this? A chicken that had delivered itself to his door was just the right thing to use to establish his might. Jia Xuan's sharp eyes swept across the ten commanders beside him. He then looked at the strange team of less than 300 people.
"Who is the commander of the 3rd Battalion?" Jia Xuan asked.
" Third Battalion Commander Zhen Fan greets Commander," a 20-year-old man with a white face and no beard stepped forward and said.
"Oh, from the Zhen family of Jinling?" Jia Xuan asked expressionlessly.
"That's right. The Zhen family's Madam Feng Sheng is my great-grandmother.”The young commander said indifferently.
"Then explain to me what's going on with your battalion.”
"Milord, unfortunately, these soldiers have all gone home to visit their relatives. That was why Daren was able to witness this scene.”That young commander looked at Jia Xuan with a smile that was not a smile, as if Jia Xuan could not do anything to him.
When the other commanders saw this scene, they all thought to themselves. This idiot had always relied on the Zhen family's power to look down on them. He was used to being arrogant and despotic. This time, he had kicked an iron plate. Everyone was waiting to see the joke.
"Visiting relatives? Zhen Fan! Do you think I'm stupid?!" Jia Xuan sneered.
"Then what do you want? Should he alarm the old lady? I think we should forget about it. We don't want both sides to lose face.”Zhen Fan was certain that Jia Xuan wouldn't dare to do anything to him on the ground in Jiangnan. Therefore, he said it without any restraint.
"Liu Cheng, Zhen Fan's crime, how should we punish him?”Jia Xuan said angrily.
"An Junwu, behead! It's a typical example." Liu Cheng replied.
"Men! Tie Zhen Fan up."
Immediately, the soldiers behind Jia Xuan rushed out and tied Zhen Fan up.
"Jia Xuan, what are you doing? Both families are old relatives. Are you going to fall out with them? Aren't you afraid that the old lady will punish you?" Zhen Fan was a little scared, but it was too late.
"I was ordered by the Emperor to leave the capital to rectify the Jiangnan military affairs.”Then he shouted,"Men, push out the gate of the camp and cut off your head to correct your hearing."”
At this moment, Zhen Fan was still as arrogant as before. He was so scared that he wet his pants. The soldier dragging him covered his nose with his hand in disdain.
"Jia Xuan, you can't kill me. I'm the great-great-grandson of Madam Feng Sheng. Jia Xuan, you will die a horrible death!" Zhen Fan was filled with regret. Why did he provoke this fiend?
A moment later, the soldiers returned with Zhen Fan's head. He looked at Zhen Fan's expression. All the generals felt a chill in their hearts, thinking that they should not fall into the hands of this fiend. This allowed Jia Xuan to do things in the future without many restrictions.
Jia Xuan waved his hand, and the soldiers carried Zhen Fan's head down.
Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. "When I left the capital, Wansui repeatedly instructed me to tidy up the military.”After a pause, he continued," Seeing that your circumstances aren't too serious, I'll be lenient and give you three days to replenish your soldiers. Otherwise, I'll recognize you, but the military law won't recognize you.”
"Thank you for your mercy, Commander." The generals knelt on one knee and bowed.
"Disperse!" Jia Xuan waved his hand.
After everyone dispersed, he asked Liu Chengdao," Is there anyone useful?”
"Wang Chao from the 1st Battalion and Wang Biao from the 9th Battalion are brothers and commoners. As long as Milord favors them, they will definitely die for Milord.”Liu Cheng replied.
Jia Xuan noticed that the two brothers looked very similar. He was tall and wasn't a meticulous person. He could use it without worry.
By the time Jia Xuan returned to the salt inspector's office, the sky was already darkening. After dinner, he went to the study with Lin Ruhai and waited for the discussion to be over.
"Such a big operation, I'm afraid that the news will leak out and force them to jump over the wall. The two of us aren't afraid, it's just that Younger Sister is now in the residence, we have to be careful.”Jia Xuan reminded.
"Virtuous nephew, you worry too much. My salt inspection censor's office doesn't dare to say that it's like an iron bucket, but I dare to say that it's impregnable.”Lin Ruhai said nonchalantly with a confident expression.
Jia Xuan thought to himself that even the wisest man would make a mistake. In the original novel, Lin Ruhai might have been too confident, so he ended up dying in the backyard fire.
"I still think it's better to be cautious. "I'm not worried about the Lin family. It's just that I have to be careful of Aunt's maid.”Seeing Lin Ruhai's gloomy expression, he said,"The Jia family and the Zhen family are old relatives. Perhaps the Zhen family has planted spies in the Jia family.”Jia Xuan did not dare to say that Madam Wang had betrayed him, Lin Ruhai, for her daughter. He could only vaguely remind her.
Lin Ruhai's expression was uncertain. After a long while, he said," Thank you for reminding me." Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. I'll get someone to keep an eye on them."
Only then did Jia Xuan heave a sigh of relief. He thought that he had finally reminded Lin Ruhai.
