The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Wang Shanxiang stood in the luxurious front yard hall of the Wang Family Manor, pacing back and forth in the hall.

The Wang family was able to rise from a small salt merchant ten years ago to a strong rise in a few years, annexing the salt shares of other salt merchants, and becoming one of the new seven major salt merchants. It is because of pursuing a ruthless and unscrupulous attitude towards doing things.

Anyone who dares to hinder the rise of his Wang family, he, Wang Shanxiang, dares to get rid of them quickly.Even if an accident happens occasionally, there are people above to help him settle it.

Over time, he naturally developed a self-important and defiant disposition.

But this time is different, even though he feels that he has made thorough preparations, what he wants to get rid of is after all, the prince of the court, the emperor's close ministers, and imperial envoys ordered by the king!

But he still did.

Because he has great confidence.

Since ancient times, the hero has been saddened by the beauty pass, and has a knife on the head of the word sex. He feels that this is Jia Lian's biggest flaw.

On the first day he went to Yangzhou, he raped a girl, and after he was done, he dared to put her by his side?

He has also seen An Siyuan's Yushuang, she is indeed a rare beauty, and what's even more rare is that she comes from a scholarly family and is the wife of a high-ranking official!

The four-rank patrol salt censor is an absolute high-ranking official in Yangzhou.

Therefore, he can understand why Jia Lian can't let go of the Xu mother and daughter, because he was also young.

According to him, Jia Lian insulted An's family so much, even if the Xu family had to submit to Jia Lian's despotic power, he must have hated and resented him in his heart.

Therefore, if he wanted to get rid of Jia Lian, the poor prisoner wife and daughter were the ready-made loopholes Jia Lian handed him.

Because, if Jia Lian died in Yangzhou for no reason, it might break the sky, cause an uproar in the court, and make Longyan furious.

But if Jia Lian died in a woman's belly, and at the hands of Xu's mother and daughter, then there is another story...

The dignified imperial envoy, Lord Zhenyuan, who went south on behalf of the emperor to inspect the Yan government, was actually killed by someone because he slept with a mother and daughter. Isn't it ridiculous?
It is conceivable that once such a thing spreads, it will become the biggest laughing stock in the world, and even the court will lose face. At that time, it will be a shame to see who in the court, because Jia Lian's death is a big fuss!

At other times, he would unite with the Zhou family and the Bai family, let their three salt merchants with the strongest background unite with the forces behind them, and then add fuel to the flames, and the matter would be easily covered up.

In this way, not only the threat that Jia Lian brought to all the salt merchants can be lifted, but even the previous big reduction of salt tax, maybe the court is too embarrassed to pursue it.

Therefore, as long as Jia Lian can be successfully eliminated through this, it will not be difficult to reverse the situation.This is also the reason why the old fox Zhou's family and the Bai family who don't scatter eagles when they don't see rabbits are persuaded by him to help him.

The big aspects are considered properly, and the rest is how to make the plan a success?

It just so happened that he still had an unexpected bargaining chip in his hand, but now it seemed extremely important.It was a preventive measure taken before the imperial envoy arrived in Yangzhou to prevent An's family from reporting to the imperial envoy who went south, and to avoid accidents. He was the one who took An Siyuan's only son away.

With the An family's only inheritance blood in hand, I'm not afraid that Mrs. Xu won't listen to him.And he only needs to get rid of the An's wife and daughter after the matter is completed, and make a "suicide with humiliation" ending, and it will be seamless. …

Even when he thought of the necessary conditions for all these things before, he felt that God was creating opportunities for him.Under such circumstances, if he still only dared to shrink his neck, like the Zhao family, waiting for Jia Lian to bring up the knife to kill, but did not dare to make a move, even he would feel that he was not worthy of success.

Therefore, after returning from Zhou's other courtyard, he immediately asked to contact the pawn that was buried in Xunyan Yushi Yamen a long time ago...

Although Jia Lian cleared out some spies from various aspects after entering the Yan Yushi yamen, but there are still some fish that slip through the net.

He has already found out that Jia Lian has visited Yan Yushi Yamen.He copied the Zhao family with great fanfare, how proud should he be?
The Zhao family has occupied Yangzhou for such a long time, and the old man Zhao has always loved money like his life, so one can imagine how rich the family is.

In terms of family property alone, maybe except for the Zhou family, the other few of them are hard to compare with.

Jia Lian should have been very pleasantly surprised and complacent after copying out so many family properties. After returning home, he couldn't wait to find Mrs. Xu to vent his joy.

So, counting the time, it should be almost there.

"Master, the inspector of Yan Yushi's yamen has really made a big move!"

Wang Shanxiang was overjoyed as his cronies came to transmit the sound, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "How is it, but that Jia Lian is dead?"

"Well, I don't know. In short, I ran back and said that the officers and soldiers patrolling the Yan Yushi Yamen have begun to gather again..."

Officers and soldiers assembled?Shouldn't it be a mess?Wang Shanxiang frowned, which was a little different from what he thought.

Worries arose in his heart, and before he could react, his most proud son ran to pass the message: "Master, it's not good, that Jia Lian's officers and soldiers have dispatched in large numbers again."

"Sent out, where did you go? Where is Jia Lian, but is he among them?"

"I don't know if Jia Lian is here, but judging from their route, it seems that they are heading for the Bai family in Huarongfang!"

"not good!"

Wang Shanxiang's complexion changed slightly, and he slapped his thigh hard, his complexion became a little ugly.

His son was puzzled: "Master, even if Jia Lian went to trouble the Bai family, what does it matter to us? Besides, didn't the master say that Jia Lian is just a coward, who only dares to pick on the weak persimmons like the Zhao family to bully him. The Bai family, did you just give up on the appointment?"

Hearing what his son said, Wang Shanxiang regained his composure.

That's right, the Bai family is not the Zhao family. He really couldn't believe that a little Jia Lian dared to attack the Queen Mother's natal family?

Even the emperor would not dare to do so easily.

Thinking of this, Wang Shanxiang felt at ease again.This was also the reason why he didn't take other salt merchants seriously, but he didn't offend Zhou and Bai alone.

Even the Zhou family, he didn't think much of it, it was only because he felt that Zhou Boru's old man's city was too deep, and he tried to seize the position of the president of the Zhou family's Yangzhou Salt Industry several times in a row, but failed, so he felt a little bit more about him. Very afraid.

"Quickly, send someone to Bai's house to watch, but if there is any movement, report it immediately."

Hearing Wang Shanxiang's order, his son immediately went out to make arrangements.

"come..."

Wang Shanxiang yelled and kept pacing back and forth.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"Quick, forget about it, you guys go out."...

Wang Shanxiang instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and he wanted to transfer valuable things out to avoid the worst situation.

Although there were [-] or [-] officers and soldiers guarding outside, his Wang family had hundreds of thugs up and down. Even if they were not at home, they had all sent people to place near the house before.With one order, it was no problem to take down those twenty or thirty officers and soldiers.

But he was hesitant.

First of all, I don't know the specific situation on Jia Lian's side. At this time, the family property is suddenly transferred, and Jia Lian is not dead. Didn't he call himself?

Not to mention directly attacking officers and soldiers, it is tantamount to rebellion.
Not advisable!What if Jia Lian died because he just thought too much?

Even if something happens to the plan, the Bai family will stand up for him.

Yes, with the Bai family supporting him, Jia Lian didn't dare to do anything to them...

……

Unfortunately, Wang Shanxiang's expectation finally came to nothing.

At this time, Jia Lian was not only alive, but also riding on the horse in good condition, watching the officers and soldiers disperse and surround the whole Bai family.

Jia Lian really didn't expect these salt merchants to be so courageous!

He directed and acted in an assassination before, but in the end, these salt merchants turned around and gave him a real one, which was really beyond his expectations.

Bai Yi, the master of the Bai family, drove out with his people. Seeing this, his expression changed, and he yelled at Jia Lian, "Jia Lian, what do you mean? You want to supervise the salt administration and say you want to block the entry and exit of my Bai family's belongings. My Bai family fully cooperates, and I even packed up the accounts of previous years, waiting for you to check.

My Bai family has achieved such a level, why are you still dissatisfied, if you want to bring soldiers to surround my Bai family, do you really think my Bai family is easy to bully?Or you, Jia Lian, really don't take the empress dowager seriously, and humiliate my Bai family at will? "

Bai Yi could bear it with Jia Lian before, but now he couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at Jia Lian.

Jia Lian looked at him coldly, "Of course I don't dare to disrespect the Queen Mother, but when can you, a small salt merchant in Yangzhou, represent the Queen Mother?
The Empress Dowager is the mother of the world, and has always lived in the deep palace, never asking about state affairs.What kind of status is she as an old man, how can she have anything to do with you as a merchant, I think you have the guts to touch the Queen Mother at will.

I might as well tell you that today the officer will not only surround your Bai family, but also raid your Bai family.

Come here, detain everyone in the Bai family for me. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed.I would also like to see, where did your Bai family have the guts to instigate someone to assassinate the imperial envoy. "
