During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

"What does it mean on the surface? You are not worthy of the position of governor of Yangzhou. You should write your resignation earlier and maybe you can save your life. If you insist on going your own way, you may end up destroying the nine tribes."

"You?" Yangzhou governor was angry.

Cui Shengbai no longer looked at him, "Mr. Jiang, I have been a little uncomfortable with the local environment recently. I wonder if I can go back and rest early."

Jiang Qian naturally saw the conversation between the two, "Master Cui, please take care of yourself. Your Majesty still has important things for you to do."

Clearly sowing discord.

Cui Zhengbai can no longer be angry in his heart.

The governor of Yangzhou couldn't help but chase him out, and grabbed Cui Zhengbai's arm, with a somewhat forcing look in his eyes, insisting that he find a way out.

The attendant couldn't help but step forward.

Cui Zhengbai signaled that the other party did not need to step forward, "Master Governor, I have already said everything that needs to be said. I have reminded you before, more than once, but you don't listen to me. What can I do?"

"If I am sabotaging work for personal gain, I'm afraid our Cui family will really come to an end."

Yangzhou Governor's pupils shrank and he slowly let go of his hand.

"Is there no other way?"

"You'd better resign. Maybe His Majesty will let you go, considering that you have no merit but hard work."

People from several major families in Yangzhou also gathered together. When they saw Cui Zhengbai coming, everyone looked at him with concern.

"Jiang Qian has surrounded the Governor's Mansion and has taken control of the entire Governor's Mansion. Next, he may be traced to you. I don't know how you have done what I reminded you before."

Some people lowered their heads, some looked away, and some hesitated to speak.

Cui Zhengbai was disappointed.

"How confident do you think we are if we attack in groups?"

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and finally all eyes are on Cui Zhengbai.

Cui Zhengbai drank tea while shaking his fan, "Don't look at me. I was not involved in this matter from beginning to end. I have done everything I should do. As for what you want to do, I can't stop you."

"But I would like to remind you that he is the most trusted person by the Emperor. The other imperial envoys did not receive military talismans from the Emperor."

Everyone wilts instantly.

Someone was furious, "When the Luo family conquered the world, we contributed both money and effort. How many years have passed now, and he is about to take action against us."

"That's right. How could he forget how they established the Luo Dynasty? Could they have built it without us?"

"It's against us now, and it will be against other wealthy families in the future. If we really compromise, I'm afraid we won't be bullied to death by him in the future."

Cui Zhengbai lowered his eyes, "I don't know what happened back then, but I know that the imperial court has indulged Jiangnan for so many years because of the old feelings. If we can maintain our original intention and not be so greedy, maybe the imperial court will always be like this, but who can say Some people are too greedy.”

He meant something. Several people in the crowd lowered their heads, and others didn't look very good.

"Moreover, no matter how much friendship there is, it has almost dissipated after so many years. Moreover, when Luo Tingye lived among the people, it was thanks to the blessing of the aristocratic family. Although he did not pursue it afterward, do you think that he would feel comfortable?"

It is only a matter of time before he targets Jiangnan, and he may not only target Jiangnan. Looking at his series of actions, it is obvious that he wants to change the entire world. The Jiangnan family is also one of the people in the world.

He is somewhat looking forward to what the world will become in his hands?

Is it developing in a good direction or repeating the trajectory of history?
"I will not participate in this matter." "You are the legitimate son of the Cui family."

The person who spoke was also a member of the Cui family, but he was a member of the collateral family and had some say in Yangzhou.

"It is precisely because I am a member of the Cui family that I cannot do anything deviant at this time. I am a member of the Cui family. If I am rejected by the court, it will be difficult for the Cui family to succeed in the future."

"What does it matter? There will always be a place for us to be related by marriage to each other."

What he said was very reasonable. Even if the court did not use people from the Cui family, those who did use them would definitely be related to the Cui family.

These are the countless connections between the Yin and Qing Dynasties that the Jia Da clan has. It is impossible for the imperial court to abandon them all at once, unless the clan is exterminated, and even if it is extermination, it may not be possible.

"But there is a difference between closeness and distance. The advantage is to stay close to your family."

As the saying goes, it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Relying on in-law relationships will not last long.

While Luo Tingye has not abandoned the people of the aristocratic family and is still reusing the people of the aristocratic family, he must seize the opportunity. Otherwise, who knows what will happen if the time passes. He must take advantage of it before the emperor completely dislikes them. Plant your feet.

The more Cui Zhengbai thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt that he should not come back just like this, but should stay there to help, even if it was to do some trivial work.

If Jiang Qian is not allowed to follow him, it is not only to let him do these small things within his power, but also to take advantage of his identity.

This may also be his opportunity.

Cui Zhengbai, who was originally cold and indifferent, suddenly became enthusiastic towards these people, either threatening or using him, and finally made them give up their confrontation with the court.

With him lobbying, the relationship between Jiang Qian and the family has eased a lot.

Back at the inn, Jiang Qian couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"When I brought Cui Zhengbai with me, it was really a good move."

Hong Li brought him hot water, "He was unwilling to help before, so why is he willing to help this time?"

"Of course it is the general trend. We have found out so many things and dealt with so many people along the way. We are not fools. We should know how to choose. I originally thought that he would take action after the matter in Yangzhou is settled smoothly. I didn't expect this For once he reacted so quickly.”

"Maybe he was impressed by his master's ability."

Jiang Qian curled his lips, "No matter what his reason is, if this continues, maybe we can go back before the Chinese New Year."

Following Cui Zhengbai's lobbying, all the major aristocratic families staying in Jiangnan have also stopped making noises like before. They contacted the courtiers to put pressure on the emperor. Even Luo Tingye breathed a sigh of relief.

There are activities to respect the elderly during the Double Ninth Festival. Every year on the Double Ninth Festival, there will be a large number of opera troupes and acrobatics in Jiangnan, and almost everyone in the city will go to watch it.

"Boom!"

The huge sound made the whole county tremble. Some people shouted that the earth dragon would turn over, and some people shouted that it was on fire. In an instant, they were in a mess. They were running, and suddenly something fell from the sky.

"what……"

"Head?"

"arm!"

"what……"

Human heads, wood, limbs, and pieces of meat continued to fall from the sky, and an unpleasant smell filled the air.
