Chapter 797: Irreconcilable with the Salt Gang
"If there were more officials like Lord Jiang in the court, why would we common people have trouble living and working in peace and contentment?" Others also shook their heads and sighed.
"Alas! We are so confused!"
"How can our court officials not serve the country and the people? The Salt Inspector Xu Zhanrong served for more than five years because of the private salt incident. He could have returned to Beijing for a higher position, but he died at the hands of those selfish robbers.
He died a violent death. He served the country all his life, but ended up like this. This time, I swear to seek justice for him! "
Jiang Youzhen looked determined as he turned to look at the yamen runner who came to report the news.
"Are you sure it was the Yu family who did it? Don't wrongly accuse others!"
"Sir, it's the Yu family. The second young master of the Yu family's eldest branch is on the official ship. He has taken control of our ship and is heading towards the Salt Gang. They also said..."
"What else did you say?" Jiang Youzhen raised his eyebrows, looking at the man who was on the verge of anger.
"They also said that our court is full of good-for-nothings, and no matter who we send, they will die in a foreign land. It depends on which court dares to come. Jiangnan is the world of the Salt Gang, and even the court cannot interfere with the Salt Gang.
They also said that they robbed the salt from the government before and we came to ask for it back. This time, our government will definitely not dare to say a word. "
"How ridiculous!" Qin Yandong was furious. "Salt gang bastards, the salt farmers in the salt field worked hard, but they have completely become tools for these people to make money.
They took the money and went out to live a life of luxury, while so many soldiers at the border are waiting for food and fodder. This officer will never forgive them."
"Listen, all the officials. The imperial court and the salt gang are irreconcilable. If I don't dismantle and eradicate the salt gang this time, I will not be able to face the soldiers at the border. If I don't eliminate the salt gang and transport the salt tax to the border this time, I will die to apologize!"
Jiang Youzhen signed a military order here. Qin Yandong immediately said, "Kill! Kill all the bastards of the Salt Gang, take back the official salt, and send the salt tax to the border!"
"Kill! The majesty of the imperial court is inviolable. Kill all the bastards of the Salt Gang, kill all the rebels!"
All the yamen runners present were excited, holding up their swords and guns with great momentum.
The people couldn't help but be moved. This was a righteous man of the court.
Yu Zhaorong trembled all over. How could this happen? He clearly did not order the robbery of the official salt, but Jiang Youzhen had completely schemed against their Yu family.
When he saw that the people were also excited and their hearts were about to burst out with justice, he suddenly felt that the Yu family was really in a catastrophe this time.
The head of the Wan family looked at everything in front of him, his eyes sparkling with wonder. Facts have proved that his choice this time was not wrong.
Whether the Salt Gang and the Yu family can be eradicated depends on Jiang Youzhen!
Yun Henian, the head of the Yun family, who had remained silent, glanced back and forth between the heads of the Yu and Wan families.
The Wan family has placed their bets, so what about their Yun family? After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth. Damn it, I have been oppressed for so many years, it is time for his Yu family to pay back, he has had enough of being a grandson.
"Master Yu, since it was done by the second young master of the Yu family, then please come with me!"
Jiang Youzhen winked at Qin Yandong and said, "Tie him up and let's go meet the second young master!"
The group quickly left the yamen, leaving only two yamen runners to guard the house.
"Why are we still standing there? Everyone has left, let's go too!" The remaining people saw that everyone had left, and they were still not leaving. When would they leave?
"Let's go and see the excitement! I didn't expect the Yu family to be so bold that they dared to rob a government ship." Someone suggested.
"Go ahead if you want to go. When gods fight, little devils suffer! If you get caught in the crossfire, don't blame me for not warning you!"
When everyone heard this, they thought, is this something they can get involved in? Let's just go home!
"But the Yu family is indeed very bold and reckless. I think the imperial court is going to take real action this time."
Everyone looked at each other and quickened their pace. In order to avoid being implicated, they had to prepare quickly.
On the official ship
A man in his twenties was leaning back in an armchair, a smug smile on his face.
"Second Young Master, I didn't expect that robbing the government ship would be so smooth this time. The master has already succeeded. Now in Lin'an Prefecture, let's see who dares to disobey our Yu family in the future." A steward came up to the second young master and said with a laugh.
The second young master dusted off his robe and leaned back in the armchair, looking quite comfortable.
"The Wan and Yun families thought that now that the imperial envoy has arrived, someone will make decisions for them. If grandfather hadn't acted decisively and arrested the imperial envoy, who knows how long he would have been able to keep on jumping around!"
The second young master of the Yu family pulled over the maid who was pouring wine and kissed her. His grandfather said that it would not be long before they could take over Pingjiang Prefecture, and their Yu family would become the local emperor of Jiangnan in the future.
"Second Young Master, this time the master will definitely look upon you with new eyes. But outsiders said that the imperial envoy was very powerful, but I didn't expect that he was just a young boy. But in just a few days, the master used a little trick to take him down."
The second young master sneered, "They are used to bullying the court and think that our Jiangnan forces are just paper tigers like the court. The emperor is far away and without the support of the court, it will be easy for us to take them down, right?
That Wu Tongpan had always wanted to surrender to our Yu family, and this time he finally found his chance. He was so anxious that he jumped up and down because he was under pressure from the prefect and the deputy prefect.
"The Yu family is so powerful! Didn't even Magistrate Wu rush to curry favor with us?"
The steward made the second young master of the Yu family smile happily, when suddenly someone came to report from the deck ahead.
"Second Young Master, we have reached the territory of the Salt Gang. We handed them a sign and they told us to wait."
Yu Wei, the second young master of the Yu family, immediately pushed the maid aside, stood up, straightened his robe, and walked towards the deck.
"Let's go! Go wait in front!"
There is flowing water in the mountains and the environment is quiet.
In a mansion, a steward came to the main courtyard in a hurry.
At this time, a man was doing boxing in the main courtyard. The manager was waiting nearby. Although he was anxious, he did not dare to disturb him.
"What's wrong? What happened?" After finishing a set of punches, the man wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and asked.
"Boss, the Yu family actually hijacked the official ship carrying salt."
The man picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip, but frowned when he heard this.
"What? Didn't we tell them to try not to move the government ship? The court just sent an imperial envoy down, are you looking for death?" He put the tea bowl on the table, his face ashen.
The gang leader didn't expect the Yu family to be so bold that they dared to move the official ship? They had been forced to move the official ship before, and then they immediately returned it, but that was a temporary measure. They didn't expect the Yu family to be so bold this time?
"The ship will arrive soon. I heard that the Yu family joined forces with Magistrate Wu to put the imperial envoy in jail."
"What?" The gang leader was shocked.
"The imperial envoy was imprisoned? Didn't they say that the imperial envoy had a gold medal and a sword?"
