Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 130: Being rejected
  The next day, Jia She took several housekeepers and servants and rushed to Baihe Village to get a big deal. Unexpectedly, they were stopped by the village protection team formed by Yan Fei a mile away.

Seven or eight young men from Baihe Village and Teal Duck Village, holding spears, spears, spears and darts, blocked the road and shouted, "Who is trespassing in Baihe Village?"

Jia She was so angry that he almost fell off his horse. Was this after his own soldiers?

Butler Wang Shanbao scolded: "You blind bitch, you dare to stop me, Mr. Rongguo Mansion? Why don't you get out of here!"

Several young men had already received instructions and sneered: "We don't recognize the big master or the second master. We only recognize the third master Cong in Rongguo Mansion. Who knows if you are liars? This village does not welcome outsiders, please go back." "

"You...you want to rebel? This is Zhuangzi of Rongguo Mansion. Who is an outsider?" Wang Shanbao and other family members began to yell and curse.

The young men laughed and said: "This place used to be Zhuangzi of Rongguo Mansion, but it was publicly granted by the old Duke Rongguo and Xian Rongguo decades ago. You don't know this, how dare you pretend to be the master of Rongguo Mansion? Why? Won't you get out of here? If you keep making noise, the guy in my hands won't recognize you!"

"Lawless bitches!" The two boys were extremely angry. When they saw Jia She winking, they rushed out with their horses, swung their whips and whipped them at the head.

One person was hit on the head and face, screamed in pain, and rolled away.

Seeing that the other party had made a move first, several other people couldn't help but became furious and hurriedly surrounded them. Two of them grabbed the reins of the horses, and the rest used their guns as sticks and swung them fiercely. They immediately knocked the two young men off their horses, followed by another punch. They were beaten and kicked until the two of them screamed like slaughtered pigs.

"Stop!" Jia She couldn't stand it anymore and shouted: "As descendants of Rongguo's soldiers, you have been favored throughout your life, but now you want to rebel against Rongguo Mansion?"

The leading young man had a quick mind and sneered: "Absurd! We only know the word loyalty and righteousness. Mr. Cong treats me like brothers and sisters. How can we betray him? You call yourself Mr. Rong Mansion, but you have no basis for it." You dare to make such wild claims here without any evidence?"

"I am the eldest boss of the Rongguo Mansion, and I am here to attack the first-class general Jia She. How dare you ask me for evidence?" Jia She said angrily.

"You think so?" The young men laughed loudly and said, "I also said that I am the Minister of Military and Aircraft!"

Jia She was extremely angry. How could he carry the first-class general's seal and the Rongguo Mansion's card with him? Now he had no token to prove his identity, and it was impossible for these young men to have seen him.

"Call me the old people in your village! I'll ask them face to face if they are going to rebel!"

Several young people sneered: "You just scream when you want? Are you the emperor? Get out of here, I'm getting impatient and grinding my teeth!"

"Okay, okay! I'll bring you the seal from Rongguo Mansion another day to see if you recognize it!" Jia She said.

"It's useless what you bring. I don't know how to read. We only recognize Mr. Cong. If you have the ability, you can bring Mr. Cong here and we will recognize him."

Jia She was so furious that he suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell off his horse. This beast, Jia Cong, was so treasonous that he deserved death!

"Master, take care." Wang Shanbao hurriedly supported him.

"Let's go!" Jia She took a few breaths, shouted angrily, and rode away.

"Get out of here, these two horses are left to pay for the soup and medicine. Why do you want to leave after beating someone so cheaply?" A few young men kicked back two young men who wanted to step forward to lead the horses.

Seeing Jia She and his entourage return in vain, all the young men laughed. Now the property left by Jia Cong has become a cash cow for two villages and tens of thousands of people. These young men are separated from the Jia family by two or three generations. How can it be They know how to recognize just a big man, even if the old lady comes, she can't even think of getting involved. Now they only recognize Jia Cong. With the outbreak of the Shenxian Winery, according to the instructions left by Jia Cong, the monthly salary of thousands of winery workers was quickly increased to 2 taels of silver. This was the level of the young ladies and aunts of the Rongguo Mansion. How could they not be grateful and loyal to the death.

  Jia She was devastated in Baihe Village, and Jia Cong was far away in Yangzhou and knew nothing about it. Now he has done almost everything he can and is just waiting for the big deal in half a month.

The Yanzheng Yamen was busy from top to bottom, forgetting to sleep and eat. However, stimulated by the high subsidies and money, the officials and junior staff were working hard to prepare for the upcoming meeting to revise the program and prepare for hard work. One game.

These days, Jia Cong is completely free. He sits in the Yamen every day, waiting for banquets and receiving gifts. He sees rare treasures, gold and silver money rolling into his arms, and smiles from ear to ear.

He is neither an official, nor does he have the consciousness to be an upright official. Anyway, he will not delay the official business. I will accept the gift and avoid talking about it through the back door.

Although the salt merchants secretly scolded him for being shameless and only accepting gifts without doing anything, they still had to follow the trend and give gifts. Nowadays, who doesn't know that Mr. Cong from Shenjing is a very popular figure in the Yanyuan Yamen. Those who give gifts these days may not be remembered. Those who live and don’t give away will definitely be remembered.

Today's Yangzhou City is turbulent and undercurrents are surging. Most salt merchants are trying to find ways to raise money. Of course, there are also individual salt merchants and salt lords hiding in the dark, trying to make money.

On this day, Jia Cong paid greetings to Lin Ruhai and received high praise from him.

"It's all thanks to my uncle's strategizing and the hard work of the salt officials like Mr. Xu and Mr. Zhang all day and night. Cong eats, drinks and has fun all day long, so how can he get any credit?" Jia Cong said hurriedly.

Lin Ruhai's condition has improved to seven or eight points, and she is in good spirits. She smiled and said, "Well, it's not a waste to help my uncle with things? The salt merchants are very respectful to you these days."

Jia Cong said "Nanran": "Cong thinks it's better to live in harmony with the light. If he pretends to be aloof, it will inevitably make people afraid, which is not conducive to great things."

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not an exaggeration to accept some gifts. You are not a court official, so you don't have to be polite. Since they want to give it away, just accept it. It will be considered as the carriage fee you paid for the Yanyuan Yamen."

"Thank you uncle for your kindness."

After bidding farewell to Lin Ruhai, Jia Cong returned to the room and saw Qingwen and Qianxue sorting out the gift list. Now that he had received so many gifts, the room could no longer fit them, so Butler Lin dedicated two large rooms to him. keep it.

Every day, he only needs to receive gift orders and cash receipts. Looking at a large box full of gift orders and a large box of banknotes, Jia Cong chuckled. It is better to get money quickly as an official.

Suddenly I thought of Baochai, and I felt a little worried. I wonder if the news from Jiangnan has been sent back. Sister Baochai didn't know the truth. She would be sad when she heard her words. She hurriedly walked to the table, picked up the pen and wanted to write a letter, regardless of whether it was useful or not. No matter how long it takes to make up for it, I just regret that there are no phone calls and WeChat in this era.

As I was writing, I suddenly heard Qingwen say: "Miss Lin is here, please come quickly, our master is writing."

In the middle of writing, Jia Cong was a little embarrassed when he saw Daiyu coming in. He quickly pulled a book to cover the letter and stood up to greet her.

"Hey, you are writing something shameful again." Daiyu walked over with a book in her hand, glanced at the table, and said with a smile.

Jia Cong said sternly: "This is the great government of the Salt Law. It is a secret of the imperial court. My sister cannot see it."

Daiyu's black gem-like eyes rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile: "Do you think I am a Qingwen girl who can't read? On the top of this paper is the word treasure, and it also says salt method. What precious salt method? It's far away Just the salt method of Shenjing."
