What Wang Jinyuan said really pierced Qi Zhiyuan's heart like an awl.

What kind of person he is, how could he suffer such humiliation, so he sneered again and again.

Wang Jinyuan put his hands behind his back and looked at Qi Zhiyuan contemptuously: "You have come to this day, don't you know that the world has changed? You are just a mayfly and a praying mantis, and you dare to think that you are a chess player? Your fate has long been determined." Qi Guogong has arranged it properly, but now, how dare you be arrogant?"

"You...no one can arrange for this old man, the big deal...you will die." Qi Zhiyuan shouted with a grim expression on his face.

He is not reconciled, he will never be reconciled, the family business of more than ten generations, do you just do what you say?

What's more, he is not alone. How many families in the south of the Yangtze River will be at your mercy?

Wang Jinyuan glanced at Qi Zhiyuan expressionlessly, as if mourning for him: "You must be thinking, even if the mortgaged land is taken away, the land bought for five million taels of silver is still yours. You have lost a lot, but you still have a lot of land in your hands, so...no one can do anything to you?"

These words... really hit Qi Zhiyuan's heart.

good……

He is not without cards.

Although the ancestral land was used as collateral, it was confiscated. But I still have a large amount of land in my hand, as long as the family business is not lost, what are I afraid of?

He just didn't feel resentful that he was deceived by Wang Jinyuan.

"Naive!" Wang Jinyuan said lightly.

"You..." Qi Zhiyuan wanted to step forward, but at this moment he was completely angry.

But several guards wanted to stop him.

Wang Jinyuan still had his hands behind his back, confident, and looked at Qi Zhiyuan with a smile: "Haven't you figured it out, you're all over now? Your ancestral land has been confiscated, oh, no, it's not just you, and There are still many people. The land they have inherited has all been in the hands of Xishan Bank. Xishan Bank now holds a large amount of land and will release it for rent-free use. At that time, it will be in your hands. What is the use of the land you own? How many tenants can your land attract? What is the value of the food you grow?"

"From the very beginning, you were doomed to lose, because... if the Duke of Qi wanted you to die, he would have a thousand ways to make you die without a place to bury you. After all, today, the court can come up with a policy to benefit farmers, and tomorrow ...The imperial court can still issue an order to increase your taxes. Even, as long as the imperial court changes its plan and does not allow people like you to keep slaves and servants, look...are you dead or not?"

"My Duke Qi, the reason why he took some brains to lie to you is because my Duke Qi is a reasonable person, at least...he knows the rules, he is too kind. If not, he will rush into your house Go, beat you to death, so what? If he makes people sprinkle salt on your land, what can you do? That's why I said again and again, Qi Guogong is Qi Guogong, my young master is really amazing, he can clearly Killing you, he is still willing to use his brain. This is his rare and precious place. And you, you dog-like thing, you still don’t know how to play. What kind of thing are you? , to be so ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth, now that you don't know how to be grateful to my young master, you still dare to call at the door, do you still want to hit someone?"

Qi Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, but he faintly felt... It seemed that what Wang Jinyuan said had some truth.

A mocking sneer curled up on Wang Jinyuan's lips, and he said with a flick of his sleeve: "While my young master is still reasoning with you, if you obey obediently, that is your good fortune, but if you still persist in your obsession, you will die. ...Seeing off the guests, drive this dog out for me."

Qi Zhiyuan's face was unpredictable.

He was still unwilling to reconcile, but now... despair grew in his heart.

He stared at Wang Jinyuan with a ferocious face and said, "Do you think that the emperor will let you be so rampant and let the country be unstable, and trust Qi Guogong credulously? Heh...now Wei Guogong's mansion...is planning to do something wrong. Buying, at this time... Your Majesty will drive us all to death? You merchants, you only look at the immediate benefits, or you don't read enough, haha..."

He yelled and laughed, and was carried out by the guards.

Until he was far away, he was still yelling: "Just wait and see! When the time comes, someone will decide for us!"

…………

Gentlemen from the south of the Yangtze River gathered in Nanjing.

Immediately, a crowd of people came to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing.

Hundreds of people knelt down here.

Qi Zhiyuan beat his chest and fell, and this time he took the lead again.

Almost everyone was ashamed, and the officials of the household department did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent the petitions of the gentry to Liu Yi, the Shangshu of the Nanjing household department.

Liu Yi was full of sympathy for these gentry.

The gentry can't survive anymore, how can the world be better?

He immediately ordered people to invite all the ministries to come here.

All the halls were seated, each with a dignified expression.

Then someone began to complain: "It's really a wave of unrest, another wave, rumors and rumors are everywhere, and the imperial envoys kill people, and the Xishan Bank embezzles and defrauds the land of the gentry. If it goes on like this, how can it be done, gentlemen, At this time, you can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, you need to appease the gentry first, and then go to the court, hey... let them seek justice."

"But with so many people kneeling outside like this, it's really unsightly. I'd better persuade them to go back first.

Go and wait for the news. If not, wouldn't it be ridiculous. "

"I've made it clear." Liu Yi stroked his beard and said angrily, "I'd rather die here if I don't seek justice today. They won't leave. Do we have to send troops to drive them away? It's an extraordinary time. ... I can't be the master, but to be honest, this Xishan bank is too much. And what kind of imperial envoys... are still hiding in Xiaoling, lawless, really hateful, now that these people hand in their petitions, their The first is to seek justice. The second is to ask the court to decide, saying that the imperial envoy must have colluded with the Xishan Bank to create chaos..."

When Liu Yi said this, there was a little admiration on his face.

It has to be said that people who have studied are people who have studied, and they would have thought of colluding with the Xishan Bank and the imperial envoy.

After all... It is already a capital crime for an imperial envoy to kill a minister without authorization, and now deliberately contacting Xishan Bank is nothing more than giving Xishan Bank another piece of evidence.

"Forget it, hurry up and play."

"I heard that the British Duke Zhang Mao is coming soon. This time, he also came here on order. He is an imperial envoy, but he doesn't know how to deal with the Hanlin in Xiaoling. Please invite the British Duke to clean up the situation."

All the ministries settled their discussions, but shook their heads one after another.

…………

Zhang Mao's men and horses can be said to be at every step, just to guard against changes.

The mighty army and horses crossed the river to Zhenjiang, and then arrived at Stone City. Before entering Nanjing, the military order was issued first.

When Zhang Mao entered the city on horseback, the officials from the Six Ministries of Nanjing led the officials and gentry to the city gate to greet him.

It was so dark, and before Liu Yi, the Minister of the Household Department, started to speak, there was a commotion behind him.

But Qi Zhiyuan and others swarmed to snatch it out. They all bowed to the ground and shouted loudly: "The British Princess is the master..."

"We have a huge grievance. If the British government refuses to make the decision, the students and others will be killed here, and they will die clean."

Not only the gentry, but many scholars along the way also made noises, and the scene was huge.

So much so that the army horses that came with them immediately became alert.

Zhang Mao was daring, and quickly dismounted from his horse, even though he walked forward alone.

He looked around, seeing these gentry and scholars excited, and seeing Liu Yi and others... showing a look of standing on the sidelines, but did not stop him, Zhang Mao said seriously: "I am ordered to send troops here to rotate defense. What grievances do you have, you are a rough man, and you are new here, you can tell right from wrong, why don't you ask the local parents to decide?"

Qi Zhiyuan and the others had made up their minds today, so they wept together and said, "We sued the Xishan Bank first, and the imperial envoy for collusion with it. Only the British Duke can decide on this matter."

Zhang Mao came here by order, and also to prevent any chaos in the south of the Yangtze River.

Who knew that when he first arrived, he encountered such a thing, and it also involved the Xishan Bank and imperial envoys.

When he arrived in Zhenjiang, he knew that the imperial envoy had killed Zuo Fudu Yushi, which was a death sentence, but he was an imperial envoy, and even he had nothing to do, the emperor had to decide this matter.

It's a pity... It's strange to hear that His Majesty has not seen his foreign ministers recently, and living in the palace, he only issued orders in everything, and he didn't make a decision about the killing by imperial envoys.

Zhang Mao was puzzled, looked at the situation in front of him, cheered up, saw the gentry all kowtowed like garlic, and there were many scholars around making noise, the crowd was full of resentment.

He thought... If they don't give them an explanation for this matter today, if these people make a fuss, there is no way out!

It's just... that Xishan took their land by force? But I don't know what kind of idea that kid Jifan is hiding, hey, but let the old man clean up the mess for him.

So he made up his mind and said: "Come here, first invite the imperial envoy from the Xiaoling to come down the mountain, as for the Xishan Bank... also send someone to call their principals to come, whether it is right or wrong, it's good to ask."

He paused, looked at Qi Zhiyuan and the others in doubt, and said, "You will follow me into the city, and we will talk about everything later."

Qi Zhiyuan turned his head slightly, and exchanged glances with a gentleman beside him.

The gentleman nodded secretly at him.

In fact, they all know that the Duke of England and the Duke of Qi are family friends, and they only expect the Duke of England to make decisions for him. They are afraid that if the board is raised, they will be put down gently in the end, but today, for this sake, they must let the British We all know what the consequences will be if Jiangnan's people turn their backs.

What they want is that today's affairs can be heard by the heavens!
