Jia Xuan looked at the Yangzhou army below, which was full of people. He already had a certain level of combat strength. Especially Wang Chao and Wang Biao, the two brothers '2nd Battalion, they were in neat formation and silent. It was a group of elite soldiers that could be used.
Zhen Fan's camp was temporarily led by Liu Cheng after the full number of people.
"Hurry up and train. I have great use for you.”
"We will obey your orders!" The generals knelt on one knee to show their loyalty.
Zhen Yingjia was furious." How dare this kid ignore our Zhen family?" Killing my nephew is simply too much.”
Everyone from the Zhen family was also filled with righteous indignation. There was a crying woman in the hall. It was Zhen Fan's mother.
"I hope that Old Master and Old Lady can avenge my Fan 'er.”At this moment, the woman cried.
"Shut up! How could he take revenge? Send someone to assassinate him? Even if you succeed, our Zhen family will be finished. He was a first-class noble. If he died in Jiangnan, the imperial court would definitely be shaken. Moreover, with his martial strength, he can come and go freely among nearly ten thousand Jurchen. Are you sure you can kill him?”Old Lady Zhen, who was sitting at the head of the table, said angrily.
"I usually tell you to restrain your family and children and not to be too arrogant, but you just don't listen. Now that he had developed a lawless personality, he must have kicked an iron plate this time. I don't believe you don't know the truth.”Old Lady Zhen said angrily.
"But we can't just let it go like this. If we let this go, how can our Zhen family stand in Jiangnan?”Zhen Yingjia replied carefully. He was still afraid of his mother.
"What else do you want? If your subordinates are arrogant and despotic in front of you, what can you do if they don't repent? This wasn't his fault in itself, and he was doing it for the greater good.”Old Lady Zhen looked at her son and said resentfully.
As the Retired Emperor gradually ignored political affairs, the Old Lady became more and more worried. The current Emperor Long Xing was someone who did not care about anything. Moreover, Emperor Long Xing had never had a good impression of the Zhen family. Once the Retired Emperor passed away, the Zhen family's future would be bleak.
At a time like this, not only did the Zhen family not restrain themselves, but they also made enemies everywhere. The old lady was already extremely disappointed in this son of hers. Who was that Jia Xuan? They were Emperor Long Xing's favorite subjects.
It was not the Jingyuan Dynasty now. Not only did his son not know how to restrain himself, but he also wanted to provoke Jia Xuan, this new upstart. He was really stupid to the extreme.
"Also, don't interfere in the matter of the salt merchants. Jia Xuan's trip to Yangzhou this time was not as simple as reorganizing the military.”Old Lady Zhen warned. Then, he said,"You can send two groups of people. One group will go to Yangzhou to show that this is not the intention of our Zhen family." It was Zhen Fan's doing. On the other hand, he would go to the Rong Mansion in the capital and say that he had accidentally offended Jia Xuan and asked them to deal with him. Although he couldn't take revenge, it was still possible to add to his bets.”
Ten days later, in the study of the salt inspector's office, Jia Xuan was discussing business with Lin Ruhai. Two days ago, Jia She's reply had just arrived. Jia Xuan and Lin Daiyu's marriage was set. Jia She's letter stated that he had no objections to the matter of adoption. Because the two of them were still young, there was no hurry to get married, so there was no open road in the Jia family. It was only the two families who had privately arranged it. Therefore, the two of them became even closer.
At this moment, the door was pushed open and Lin Daiyu personally brought tea in. Although she already knew two days ago that she and Third Brother had already made an appointment, but in these two days, she still could not hide her embarrassment when she saw Jia Xuan.
"Father and Third Brother, it's best not to be too tired.”Daiyu put down her teacup and said shyly.
Jia Xuan stared at her bashful expression. Lin Ruhai cleared his throat, and only then did Jia Xuan come back to his senses. Daiyu was even more embarrassed as she covered her face and ran out.
Jia Xuan smiled embarrassedly." Uncle, when do we make our move?”
"There's no hurry. They should be the ones anxious. They only found one place where they hid the smuggled salt. When they can't hold it in any longer, we'll catch them all in one fell swoop. You can go sightseeing these few days and listen to my news.”Lin Ruhai said calmly.
Hearing this, Jia Xuan couldn't help but smile and say," I wonder if I can let my sister guide the scenery of Yangzhou on my behalf."”
"Yes!" Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Xuan with a smile that was not a smile, causing Jia Xuan's old face to turn red.
Lin Ruhai was not a stubborn old scholar. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold the position of salt inspector. As long as he didn't go overboard with this pair of little ones, he would pretend that he didn't see them.
Jia Xuan saluted excitedly, then quickly ran out to find Lin Daiyu. Lin Ruhai shook his head.
In the past two days, Jia Xuan and Lin Daiyu had visited almost all the places of interest in Yangzhou. The relationship between the two of them was also warming up day by day.
In the Shen Capital, Rong Kingdom Manor, Rong Qing Hall, Grandmother Jia looked down at the Zhen family's maidservants. "Go out and talk to your old lady. This old woman will definitely teach Jia Xuan a lesson.”
"Replying to Old Furen. When our old lady came, she specially told Third Master that this matter had nothing to do with him. It was that bastard who caused this trouble.”The servant replied.
"Alright, you can go back now. Send my regards to your old lady.”Grandmother Jia's expression softened.
After the Zhen family left, Grandmother Jia said,"It's fine if this evil creature wants to be beaten or punished, but why did he kill people?"”
"After all, this brother is still young.”Madam Wang, who had been acting like a Bodhisattva, said. Madam Wang had always been worried that Jia Xuan would affect Baoyu's position in Rong Mansion. Now that there was an opportunity to take advantage of him, he naturally couldn't let it go.
"We are old relatives and friends of the Zhen family. This vile creature did things without mercy. How can I have the face to meet these old friends again?”As expected, Grandmother Jia said angrily.
Madam Xing watched the situation from the side and thought to herself that Madam Wang was really taking advantage of the situation. He had to tell Old Master about this when he went back. He had to be on guard. Because of Jia Xuan's rise, the First household's status in Rong Mansion had risen quite a bit, and even Lady Xing was doing much better.
Today, Jia Xuan and Dai Yu returned from Cold Mountain Temple. As soon as they entered the door, Jia Xuan was grabbed by Lin Ruhai into the study.
"How is your army? These salt merchants had over 2,000 servants. Moreover, they were all outlaws. Are you confident?" Lin Ruhai asked.
"Uncle, don't worry. Everything is ready. We're just waiting for uncle's order. I don't care about those motley crew.”Jia Xuan said with a serious expression, a baleful aura emanating from him.
