Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 232 No mercy 1
  Jia Cong led his people to the market in the city at high speed. They saw hundreds of people gathered together in a noisy and noisy way. They didn't know what was going on.

"Master Guards is here! Get out of the way quickly!" Zhang Yuanba shouted loudly, and everyone in front hurriedly shouted and stepped aside to make way for a road.

Jia Cong looked along the road, and at the end was a bright, pretty and lovely Jurchen girl. He couldn't help but smile, rode over, and said with a smile: "Sister Wanyan, why didn't you come to find me when you entered the city?"

Wanyanshan pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "I wanted to come back to you after finishing the deal, but I was deceived by these profiteers. Brother Jia, why did you lie to me and say your name was Jia Zilong? Do you think you don't treat me as a friend?"

Jia Cong turned over and dismounted and said with a smile: "How can I lie to you? My original name is Jia Zilong. Cong is my name and Zilong is my character, so Jia Cong is Jia Zilong. This is absolutely true. Don't believe it. , you ask these onlookers."

"Really?" Wan Yanshan was dubious and glanced around.

The merchants still couldn't see the relationship between this beautiful Yi girl and Jia Cong, so they laughed and said, "That's true. Mr. Jia's nickname is Zilong, which is a gift from the emperor, and everyone knows it."

Wanyan Shanzhong became happy again, took Jia Cong's arm, and said happily: "Brother Jia, you didn't lie to me, I'm so happy."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Let's talk about what's going on here."

Yu Hong hurriedly went over and whispered, and Wanyanshan hurriedly opened her mouth to tell the difference. Her anxious look made people love and pity her.

Jia Cong rubbed her head and said with a smile: "I have my own opinion and I promise not to let you be wronged."

Xue Pan had been carried aside for treatment, and he hurriedly shouted, "Brother Cong, you have to make the decision for me."

Jia Cong frowned and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Xue Pan screamed miserably: "That barbarian woman shot me with an arrow."

"Brother Jia, he..." Wan Yanshan hurriedly recounted what had just happened, and finally said, "I shot him because I was so angry."

Jia Cong laughed dumbly and nodded: "Good shot." He probably fell into Xue Pan's old habit, thinking that Wan Yanshan was Xiang Ling, and he was just asking for it.

"Thank you, Brother Jia." Wanyanshan bowed her head shyly.

Xue Pan felt a chill in his heart. Brother Cong was about to forget his friends.

Soldiers had already moved chairs, but Jia Congli ignored Xue Pan. Da Ma Jin Dao sat on the spot and shouted: "Bring all the people involved in this case to me, and bring all the surrounding merchants to me! I want to review the case on the spot!"

"Yes!" A soldier had already brought the man with him and shouted: "Kneel down!"

With a thud, everyone knelt on the ground.

Jia Cong glanced at Wan Yanshan, raised his chin slightly, and whispered: "You go down too."

"Oh. Brother Jia, do we also want to kneel?" Wan Yanshan whispered.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I have always been tolerant to the people, so you don't have to kneel."

"Okay." Wan Yanshan nodded cutely and stood there with Wan Yan Gu and others.

The facts of this case are simple. Jia Cong already had a plan in mind. He stared at the surrounding merchants and sneered: "The shopkeeper of Fengzihao said that the money and goods were paid, and the Jurchen said that the goods were cheated. Have you ever seen the truth?"

The merchants naturally protected the Han people, saying that they had never seen them and did not know what was going on.

Jia Cong nodded and said: "Since you don't know, you can't testify, so please step aside."

"Thank you, sir." The merchants stepped aside.

Jia Cong stared at the dozen shopkeepers and clerks of the Xue family and sneered: "I'll ask you again, what is the truth? Tell us from the truth."

Everyone kowtowed and said, "It is true that the money and goods have been paid. I will pay you on the spot."

Wan Yanshan wanted to argue, but Jia Cong stopped her with a look.

"Okay! Since you all agree, where is Lei Tai? Let me detain them separately and interrogate them separately! I will only punish the culprits. If anyone dares to give false evidence to cover up the mastermind, if I find out, I will kill them without mercy!"

"General, I will obey your orders!" Lei Tai had been a yamen arrester and was familiar with these things. With a wave of his hand, dozens of sergeants came forward and captured the shopkeepers and clerks. Everyone's heart trembled, and they were interrogated alone. Who the hell knows who will betray him? If he is found out, it will be a matter of losing his head. Anyway, the matter has nothing to do with me, so why bother to cover up for Shopkeeper Han.

At that moment, several people shouted: "Sir, the villain is willing to recruit, the villain is willing to recruit!"

Jia Cong raised his hand and said, "Say it."

A shopkeeper named Zhang Dehui hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, this matter was all Shopkeeper Han's idea, and we have nothing to do with it." When everyone saw someone pointing out the problem, they hurriedly agreed, fearing that they would be suspected of harboring the mastermind.

Han Ping's liver and gallbladder were split, and he shouted angrily: "You are slanderous! It was clearly your idea, and you actually slandered me."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "You see, the truth becomes clearer with each passing day. I asked casually and the truth was almost revealed. Now I can confirm that you have blackmailed the Jurchens.

As for who is the mastermind, do you have evidence? If you can't produce evidence, I can only kill you all as the mastermind. "

Zhang Dehui and others were so frightened that they peed their pants, and said hurriedly: "I have evidence. Han Ping personally received the goods early this morning, and the account book is signed and signed by him! You can tell it when you look at it." After saying this, he hurriedly turned out the account book and presented it. superior.

Jia Cong took a look and found that it was indeed the case. He sneered: "Han Ping, what else do you have to say?"

"Sir, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me. Master, save me!" Han Ping fell to the ground exhausted and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Brother Cong..." Xue Pan opened his mouth to help, but saw that Jia Cong had already stood up and walked to Han Ping step by step.

Suddenly the sword flashed, the head rolled down, and blood spurted all over the ground.

Uh... This was the first time Xue Pan saw such a scene. He was almost frightened to the point of peeing, and he retracted his words abruptly.

Jia Cong made a sword dance, shook off the blood beads on the knife, returned the knife to its sheath with a clang, looked at Xue Pan and said, "What does Brother Xue say?"

"Uh, it's nothing. If you kill well, you'll kill well." Xue Pan smiled dryly.

Jia Cong nodded, glanced at the surrounding merchants, and said coldly: "I have already issued a decree, and business in the city must be conducted fairly, and all children and elders must not be deceived. Do you know?"

"We'll know later." Everyone hurriedly bowed and agreed.

"No matter who it is, anyone who dares to violate my laws, cheat with evil intentions, and stir up conflicts between Han and Yi will be punished! Do you understand?" Jia Cong shouted.

"I will obey your teachings!" The surrounding businessmen shouted and knelt on the ground.

"Someone, hang this dog's head in the market as a warning to others."

"Yes."

Jia Cong turned back and sat back in the chair, saying: "Feng Zihao defrauded the Jurchens of their property. I order you to immediately pay the agreed money and goods, plus an additional 50% as compensation! Are you convinced?"

Zhang Dehui turned around and glanced at Xue Pan. Seeing him nodding his head repeatedly, he kowtowed and said, "The adults will judge justly, and the villains will be convinced."

"Retire!"

"Thank you for your kindness, sir." Everyone in Fengzihao escaped from death and went to prepare money and goods.

"Brother Jia, I knew you were a good person." Wan Yanshan jumped up and ran up, hugging Jia Cong's arm and said.

Jia Cong felt the softness on her chest, and suddenly he felt a little distraught. How could it be so appropriate to tug and tug in public in public? Am I, Lord Guard, shameless? If you have the ability, come and play in my house.

He hurriedly took his hands out and smiled at the Jurchens: "Go back and tell the tribes you are familiar with that I, Jia Cong, am here and you come to Liaohaiwei to trade. I guarantee fairness and justice. No one can deceive you."

Wan Yan Gu hurriedly led everyone to bow and salute, saying: "Thank you, Mr. Jia."

"No need to say thank you, this is my official duty."

In a moment, the shopkeepers of Fengzihao pulled out more than a dozen carts of goods from the warehouse.
