Daiyu was originally looking at the joke, but she was startled when she saw him look like this, then she was furious, gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Brother Qiang, what do you think I am doing?"

Jia Qiang blinked and realized, but she was still suspicious and said, "Didn't the old fox of the Qi family come to find my aunt and grandparent?"

"Pooh!"

Daiyu's pretty face flushed with embarrassment, and she gritted her teeth and spat: "You really want to go blind! Stop talking nonsense, watch your skin carefully!"

Jia Qiang laughed, looked at Aunt Mei, and saw that she was looking at him teasingly, and said speechlessly: "The old man who sells salt is full of brine, isn't he? He came here to ask for a kiss... It's a good idea." !"

"Pfft!"

Aunt Mei and Daiyu laughed together, and Daiyu pointed to Jia Qiang and Lin Ruhai and said, "Look at him, Daddy, he is arrogant and thick-skinned. You are still his husband. Why don't you discipline him quickly? Let him know something too." present!"

Lin Ruhai hehe, how could he be willing to participate in the quarrel of such children.

On the contrary, Aunt Mei and Jia Qiang said with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse. The old man Qi said that his granddaughter is well-versed in literature and ink, and is quite talented. She has a beautiful face and beautiful appearance. She is the jewel in her palm. If she gets married, she must bring her with her." A million dowry."

Daiyu sneered at the little thief who was a little moved!

After Jia Qiang thought about it carefully for a while, she finally shook her head regretfully and said, "The Qi family's stall is too big. I inquired about it. Mr. Qi is an outstanding person, but none of his three sons are fuel-efficient lamps. In addition, he The family only treats the legitimate son as a person, and the concubine is not even allowed to enter the official genealogy...Sooner or later, there will be chaos. In such a family, it is okay to be friends, but to get married...Forget it."

Aunt Mei's face became weird when she heard the words, and she caught a glimpse of the sneer on the face of the people beside her, she asked Jia Qiang, "If the Qi family didn't have these troubles, you would have to deal with it?"

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "How can I be the one to decide this kind of thing? Although my parents died young, the relatives in the family are not very reliable. But now I have a mentor, and it is not without relatives. It is up to my aunt and grandfather to make the decision."

"All right……"

Aunt Mei and Daiyu didn't let Aunt Mei and Daiyu continue to tease Jia Qiang, Lin Ruhai waved her away, Aunt Mei and Daiyu just sat aside and said nothing more.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang and said, "I declined the Qi family's kindness for you. As you said, the Qi family is not a good family of in-laws, and you are still young, so there is no rush to wait another two years." Paused He paused and said again: "Brother Qiang, the matter of the salt administration has made excellent progress so far, and it has exceeded my expectations and that of Ban Shangong. However, this matter has made you stand out, do you have any complaints in your heart? "

Jia Qiang chuckled, and said, "If the two of the Mei family hadn't jumped out by themselves and carried more than half of the burden for me, then the unlucky salt merchants would have engraved their hatred on me. I feel a little wronged. But now those silly roe deer of the Mei family have jumped out to attract hatred, even if there will be a little more on me in the future, it won't be too much, so there is no need to complain."

Lin Ruhai laughed when he heard the words: "It's hard for you to be so clever. You just took a word to vent your anger, and you grabbed the handle and pulled you to the top of the tank."

Because Aunt Mei came from the Mei family, she was silent at the moment, while Daiyu giggled and looked at some bad guy...

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be like this, even because my aunt is also surnamed Mei, it shouldn't be like this. But this person is too utilitarian, and he doesn't know right from wrong, as if the whole world owes them. Or, my aunt told me that there was a quarrel in the second room of the Mei family's big house because of the separation of the family, and they hardly got close to each other. If it weren't for this, Mei Zhen and his son would not have stopped coming when Mrs. Mei's wife passed away. And Mei Zhen Back then, I was not friendly to my aunt, and I didn't think much of it... So, since they want to save people, I will help them. My aunt, Mei Zhen and his son have made meritorious accusations. If nothing else, Mrs. Mei's wife should be released for the New Year right?"

Seeing Aunt Mei standing up with a "swish", her beautiful eyes were full of surprise and she looked at this side. After Lin Ruhai gave Jia Qiang a funny look, she nodded and said, "It's hard to say that a man from the Mei family has such a great achievement. Let everyone out first."

In this way, the title of "good guys" of the Mei family is completely confirmed.

Jia Qiang smiled when she heard the words, and looked sideways, Aunt Mei had already come to kneel down to Xie Lin Ruhai, but Daiyu pursed her lips and sneered, looking at someone:

Flattering, treacherous boy!

Qi garden.

Sitting in the warm and bright thatched cottage, the Patriarchs of Shen, Wu and Zhou's family felt cold all over their bodies.

Qi Taizhong looked at the three of them solemnly, and said slowly: "Maybe, it really is the Mei family's report, maybe it's the Yanyuan yamen's collection over the years, or maybe it's from other places, in short, the three of you have stayed behind all these years. The flaws that have not been wiped clean are now in the hands of others. Witnesses are required, and there are witnesses. Physical evidence is required, and physical evidence is required. There is also the Bai family... The Bai family bit you inside, and of course, they also bit us. It's just that the Bai family can't provide us with much conclusive evidence. However, the three of you are usually closest to the Bai family, so you will confess the most. "

After a while of cursing, Wu Pin said with a grim face when he heard the words: "Then, then fight to the death!!"

The old Patriarch of the Zhou family looked at Qi Taizhong, and said in a sad voice: "Qiye, do you really want to drive us all to death?"

The head of the Shen family, Shen Cong, said loudly: "This is their conspiracy! They want to divide us, kill us first, and then kill you! Don't try to escape!"

Qi Taizhong sighed, waved his hands and said: "In the direction of Jinling, the Jiangnan camp, and the Governor's Biaoying camp have all sent troops here, so don't talk too much about it. However, I went to see Lin Ruhai, and I gave up my old face to ask you a favor." A way to survive. As for whether it will succeed or not, it all depends on you.”

Although Wu Pin yelled the most decisively, when he heard that the army had already been mobilized, he was terrified, but now he heard that there was a chance, but he was the first to give up the thought of dying together, and hurriedly asked: "Seventh Lord, hurry up!" Say, what is the way of life?"

The two old Patriarchs, Shen Cong and Zhou Jiao, also asked questions one after another.

Qi Taizhong's face was solemn, his white eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he said slowly: "Your family has several family extermination cases on your back. If you don't have an account, no one can justify it. Lin Ruhai gave two ways, one is that the family handed over the heads of twenty descendants , half of the family wealth, this matter is over..."

Before the words were finished, the old Patriarchs and Patriarchs of the three families became furious and clamored.

Are you kidding me, the heads of twenty direct disciples...

The richer the family, the harder it is to support the son-in-law.

If it is really necessary to hand over the heads of twenty sons and grandchildren at one time, there will be no one left in the three families.

Furthermore, half of the family fortune, what a huge amount! !

At this moment, the three families all had the violent heart to send soldiers to assassinate Lin Ruhai's family!

However, under Qi Taizhong's increasingly sharp gaze, the three families finally calmed down.

The Patriarch of the Chen family, Chen Qiao, frowned and said, "You must let Master Qi finish his sentence. If Master Qi really does not care about it and asks you to die, do you still have a way to survive?"

The three families hurriedly apologized and asked for advice again and again.

Qi Taizhong paused, and continued: "The second way is for the three of you to give up all your wealth, save the lives of the whole family, and leave Yangzhou."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, despite another burst of shouting and cursing.

After a while, only the voices of the three families panting heavily in despair were left in the thatched cottage. Qi Taizhongfang slowly opened his eyes, looked at them indifferently, and said, "The files of the Bai family have been expedited by Babaili. Send them to the capital, and draw up the punishment: all the men will be beheaded, and all the family members will sell the Jiaofang Secretary and confiscate the family property. This is a serious crime that will never stand up."

In the midst of terror, Shen Cong asked tremblingly: "Qi Ye, where is the salt field? What about the salt field? Closing down four of them at once will affect half of the salt in the south of the Yangtze River. They are not afraid..."

Qi Taizhong sighed softly, and said: "Let the four of us take over temporarily, but they will not sell it to us, but will sell it to other small salt merchants, abolish the yamen of the Salt Court, and reduce the number of intermediate officials... In the future, the salt affairs decree will It has changed, and it is impossible for the eight families to account for the majority. You should not doubt that our four families take advantage of the opportunity. I will never lie in my life, so I can tell you that the Qi family will also slow down in this salt industry. Stop it. The way of heaven is good, who can occupy Jinshan for a lifetime? I am afraid that there will be life to earn, but no life to spend. In the end, we are just merchants after all. This is what the old man said. How to choose is up to you. .”

Originally full of doubts and guesses that there were countless conspiracies and tricks to betray the three families, after hearing Qi Taizhong's words, he no longer had any chances.

Even the Qi family has decided to stop slowly, there really is no third way...

Moreover, if there is really no way out, the three families will probably take the risk and risk their lives.

Not talking about rebellion, but ordering the salt people to destroy the salt fields and the stored salt.

The combination of these three companies can affect the salt supply of at least several provinces.

Even the salt fields were destroyed, and the price of salt tomorrow immediately began to soar.

but……

Now that the grandpa of the Qi family begged for a way out, who still has the heart to die?
