I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

"Boss, this is a top-grade glass bottle produced in Anding County. It is not available anywhere else. It only costs one hundred taels."

Jiang Zuo introduced to the guest in front of him.

The current Yecheng market has attracted many wealthy businessmen. Jiang Zuo is taking advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

Jiang Zuo never has any heart when it comes to making money from the poor.

But if the other party is a rich person, Jiang Zuo will try to give as much as possible.

Just when the deal was about to be concluded, Ma Hengwei came to Jiang Zuo with an anxious look on his face and whispered in his ear: "Master Jiang, Master Guo is in trouble!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zuo was shocked and immediately put down his work and followed Ma Hengwei to check on Master Guo's condition.

When Jiang Zuo pushed open the door of the room, he saw Master Guo lying on the bed, seemingly unconscious. No matter how Jiang Zuo shouted, there was no response.

He had a bruise on his face but no other injuries.

Jiang Zuo suddenly became angry and asked, "What happened?"

Ma Hengwei said, "My colleagues in the government said that Mr. Guo was surrounded and beaten by several men on the street. If someone hadn't stopped them in time, Mr. Guo would have been in trouble. Don't worry, sir. The Qianqi Division is already investigating the matter."

Jiang Zuo clenched his fists tightly, already guessing the reason.

Master Guo is not only his right-hand man, but also his best friend over the years. If anything happens to Master Guo, Jiang Zuo will definitely kill those bastards.

"Come with me."

Jiang Zuo turned and left.

His destination was Liu Mansion.

The elite troops composed of the Thousand Cavalry Division and the Tiger and Mighty Army directly broke into Liu's mansion.

"Hey, you are..."

The servants in Liu's house looked confused.

"Liu Sheng, come out!"

Jiang Zuo walked in front.

Liu Sheng walked out from the inner hall in confusion, and when he saw that it was Jiang Zuo who brought people with him, he was immediately frightened.

"Jiang, Lord Jiang, what's the matter?" Liu Sheng asked.

"I'll only give you one chance to answer. Did you send someone to injure Master Guo?"

Jiang Zuo directly grabbed Liu Sheng's collar and said fiercely.

"Sir, what hurt Master Guo?"

Liu Sheng was completely stunned, his face full of confusion.

"I'm telling you, don't do this kind of shady trick again. If you dare to hurt the people around me again, you'll be reincarnated as a new human being!"

"My Lord, it's really not me..."

Liu Sheng was also quite helpless. Faced with so many Tiger-Power Army and Thousand Cavalry Division, he dared not express any opinion at all.

Jiang Zuo looked directly into Liu Sheng's eyes and confirmed that it was not Liu Sheng who did it.

"Where is Li Yang?"

Jiang Zuo immediately thought of this person.

Liu Sheng was stunned, and after hesitating for a moment, he replied: "Maybe he is at Li's house, or maybe he is drinking wine at Yinghua Pavilion..."

Liu Sheng cursed silently in his heart: "He even dares to offend the Jiangnan family. He is really looking for death. Is he going to settle accounts with Boss Li?"

They all told Li Yang not to rush to provoke Jiang Zuo, now it’s good...

Yinghua Pavilion.

Li Yang was slightly tipsy, with beauties surrounding him, hugging him on both sides.

"Come on, drink!"

Suddenly, loud footsteps were heard.

"what happened?"

This movement attracted everyone's attention.

"Master Jiang, why are you here?"

someone asked.

Jiang Zuo ignored him and came to Li Yang with his guards.

Seeing this, the woman next to her quickly stepped back.

Li Yang was drunk. He didn't have a deep impression of Jiang Zuo before, having only met him once or twice. He kept smiling and asked, "Are you Lord Jiang?"

"Li Yang, did you send someone to injure Master Guo?"

Jiang Zuodang repeated the question he had just asked.

Hearing this, Li Yang burst into laughter and then poured himself a glass of wine.

Jiang Zuo looked at him grimly, then slowly clenched his fists.

After a while, Li Yang drank a glass of wine and said, "Master Jiang, I don't know what you are talking about. I don't even know Master Guo. If you don't have evidence, don't make random accusations."

"I'll give you one last chance."

Jiang Zuo said coldly.

"I, Li Yang, am the assistant of Jiangnan Salt and Tea Bureau, and I am also an official appointed by the imperial court. Don't try to show off your authority in front of me."

Li Yang said nonchalantly, "You are just a young man, don't think you can show off with a thousand cavalry officers. I can make you lose your position with just one letter. Master Guo, even if it's you, I have the ability to make you kneel..."

Snapped!

Li Yang had just said half of the word "kneel" when he suddenly heard a loud slap.

Jiang Zuo slapped Li Yang directly in the face.

All the onlookers were stunned.

They all knew that Li Yang was the head of a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, the assistant to the salt and tea magistrate of the south of the Yangtze River, a real master.

Jiang Zuo, a fourth-rank official, actually slapped Li Yang in the face in front of so many people.

Everyone was shocked, and at the same time, they felt more fear in their hearts.

There was a red slap mark on Li Yang's face.

He sobered up immediately and said angrily, "How dare you hit me!"

But before Li Yang could show his power, the guards of the Thousand Cavalry Division stepped forward and pressed Li Yang down on the wine table.

"Let me go!"

Li Yang struggled frantically, but couldn't break free.

"Jiang Zuo, you're crazy!"

he continued to yell.

Jiang Zuo said calmly: "I think you are crazy. If you dare to hurt the people around me again, it will be more than just a slap."

After saying this, Jiang Zuo turned and left, leaving behind the helpless and furious Li Yang.

Li Yang's prestige as a member of a Jiangnan family was destroyed by a slap in the face from Jiang Zuo.

At this moment, when the other people in Yinghua Pavilion looked at Li Yang, there was a bit more complicated emotions in their eyes.

“Sir, are you just going to let him go like this?” Ma Hengwei was puzzled.

Jiang Zuo remained silent. Giving Li Yang a slap in the face was already the biggest lesson he could learn.

After returning to the yamen, Jiang Zuo invited a doctor to check on the condition of his master.

But when I opened the door of the master's room, I saw that the master was sitting on the bed and had woken up.

Seeing that it was Jiang Zuo who came, Master Guo hurriedly asked: "Sir, have you caught those bastards who beat me? Damn, they punched me in the waist and almost made me shit…"

Seeing Master Guo talking so nonstop, Jiang Zuo breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It would be fine if you didn't say that, sir. Now that you've said that, I feel a little pain in my waist again."

Master Guo covered his abdomen.

"So, it's no big deal." Jiang Zuo felt relieved.

"That should be the case." Master Guo nodded.

"That's good."

Jiang Zuo felt relieved.

"Master Guo, do you remember the appearance of those who beat you?"

Ma Hengwei asked.

Master Guo said: "Three people, all with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall stature, I can't remember clearly, I guess, it may be the people of the Jiangnan family who are taking revenge..."

"It must be." Jiang Zuo said.

"Master Guo, you don't know that in order to help you vent your anger, the master was so majestic that he slapped Li Yang in the face to vent your anger for you."

Ma Hengwei smiled.

"Your Excellency actually turned against the Jiangnan Li family for my humble position?"

Master Guo was extremely surprised and felt a little guilty. He said, "Sir, there is no need to do this. How can you offend the Li family for the sake of your humble position..."

Jiang Zuo waved his hands, not caring at all, and said, "As long as you're okay."
