Chapter 596: Fang Xing Makes a Move
Jin Zhong suddenly received Zhu Di's super courtesy, which caused many speculations in Jinling City.
"Master Jin, can't you do it?"
"Nonsense, in the afternoon I saw his old man carrying a piece of stewed pork home, laughing so hard that he couldn't see his eyes."
"Then what does His Majesty mean?"
"Maybe it's because you feel that the boss has done a lot of hard work."
"But isn't the young master's contribution high? And he's not in good health, but when do you think the entire imperial hospital is mobilized!"
"..."
Zhu Di probably didn't expect that his casual behavior would trigger so many discussions. He was reading the memorial.
"Your Majesty, those three confessed, and the salt merchant above them is Jia Fei."
Liu Guan felt that he was very hard-pressed. His current main job was Zuo Du Censor, but there was no one in the Ministry of Punishment, so he had to work part-time for a while.
If you say part-time job, let's work part-time. At worst, it will be harder, but this kind of thing happened unexpectedly.
If Jin Zhong is the villain, then Liu Guan is an innocent passerby who was involved. If Zhu Di sent him to arrest Jia Fei, the matter would be difficult to deal with, and he would fall into it if he failed.
"Who is Jaffe?"
...
In a Zhuangzi outside Jinling City.
Jia Fei was originally a gangster, but because he was ruthless and able to fight, he quickly gathered a group of men. After getting the first pot of gold, he made some connections, so he successfully got the admission ticket to China and France.
Compared with other salt merchants, Jia Fei's method of doing things is more direct, and those who stand in his way will be killed.
Although this kind of behavior is easy to offend people, Jia Fei relies on his own relationship to gobble up the market drastically. So far, one-third of Jinling's salt supply is his business.
With a dark face and a short and stocky figure, if his clothes didn't remind others of his wealth, he would probably be regarded as a farmer in the countryside.
But it was this guy who looked like a farmer who, with a long knife, cut down the current family business.
This day, Jia Fei was watching several accountants calculating their recent earnings, and when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, he raised his eyes and saw his confidant, Bai Jindong, walking quickly with a panicked expression.
"What is it?"
The first impression of Jia Fei is perseverance, his appearance is firm, his temperament is firm, and the short words are sonorous and powerful.
Bai Jindong glanced at the accountants, and said in a low voice: "Brother, the three companies that got goods from us have been arrested!"
Jia Fei's eyes remained firm and he didn't move. He said in a deep voice, "Do you know the reason?"
Bai Jin Dong said: "My little brother went to Mr. Fan's house. Mr. Fan sent someone to say that it was Jin Zhong's family who went to buy salt today, but it turned out that something was wrong, and then that old thief Jin Zhong sent someone along to arrest them."
Jia Fei fell into deep thought, but Bai Jindong couldn't help but said: "Brother, our salt is boiled by ourselves, and experts can separate it."
The quality of official salt and private salt is different, and the salt in each place is different. Of course, the salt supplied to Jinling is the best, so Bai Jindong is worried about this.
Jia Quan's eyes moved, and he said calmly: "Jin Zhong is just a dog picking up a mouse. Don't forget, it doesn't matter who those big salt merchants are in the court? Those who don't matter have already been swallowed!"
Bai Jin Dongxi said: "Brother, do you mean that those people will naturally take action to calm this matter?"
"Of course." A stern look flashed in Jia Fei's eyes: "If they don't calm down, they won't be able to escape!"
...
"Uncle, this matter is a bit weird!"
Huang Zhong was able to get involved, and when he learned that Jia Fei didn't run away, he felt that it was a bit troublesome.
A capable salt merchant would not be a fool, but Jia Fei didn't run away, which shows that he is confident that the fire will not burn on him.
In the study room, Wanwan was sitting solemnly opposite Fang Xing, holding a chess piece in her hand, her little brows were about to turn into silkworm babies.
Fang Xing pointed to the chessboard, signaling Huang Zhong to talk about it later.
Wan Wan was a beginner, and seeing that her white chess had almost been raised, she pouted and said, "Fang Xing,
If you use the big to bully the small, this game doesn't count. "
Fang Xing smiled slightly: "Then why don't you go and see the newly made juice?"
"Yeah!"
Sweet and sour juices are Wanwan's favorite, among which the juices made by Fang's family are indispensable delicacies.
After Wanwan couldn't wait to leave, Fang Xing asked: "Then Jia Fei didn't show any signs of packing up his belongings?"
Huang Zhong said: "No, according to Jia Quan, his family is the same as usual, even the shipments are not affected."
"Interesting!" Fang Xing said with a smile: "It seems that the matter of the court meeting that day has not been leaked, so it will be fun."
Huang Zhong thought it was the same, he smiled and said: "I don't know who Jia Fei is relying on, this will kill someone."
"Hu Guang still knows the general situation, and those auxiliary ministers also have this kind of integrity..."
Fang Xing stopped talking because the knife came.
"My lord, His Majesty has a will."
Huang Zhong immediately came to his senses. He smiled wryly and said, "Uncle, Mr. Jin took the first pot. It seems that His Majesty wants you to carry the second pot!"
"It's not a pot."
Fang Xing got up and said: "Since I am in charge of the Jubao Mountain Guard, the use of force is naturally my responsibility."
After arriving at the front, the order was indeed to order Fang Xing to take people to copy Jia Fei and his gang immediately.
After Fang Xing accepted the order, he asked Fang Wu to talk about that Zhuangzi's situation.
Fang Wu took out a sketch and introduced: "My lord, the walls of this main house are very thick. When I opened the door, I used a telescope to look at it from the side. It seems to be double-layer brickwork."
"Where's the wooden door?"
Fang Xing took a look at the terrain and felt that he could either block the formation or surround him, so he asked casually.
Fang Wu scratched his head and said, "It feels a little heavy, probably good wood."
Xin Lao Qi already had a plan, he pointed to the sketch and said: "Master, there are more than two hundred of Jia Fei's men who have died. If they attack from the gate, there will definitely be casualties. Let's cover with muskets and grenades and blow up the wall." .”
Fang Wu also felt that this was the safest way, but Fang Xing shook his head and said, "No need, let's attack today!"
"master……"
Xin Laoqi felt that Fang Xing should not be someone who ignores casualties, but what happened today?
Fang Xingling said: "Lao Qi and Fang Wu went to find Lin Qun'an and pulled out the two thousand households. Also, I want a cannon."
Only then did Xin Laoqi suddenly realize, and hurriedly went to the barracks with Fang Wu.
Fang Xing looked at the sky, and confessed to Huang Zhong: "This trip must be a killing. If Madam asks, you can say that I went to the military camp to watch the drill."
Huang Zhong took the order, and then went to the front hall to sit in charge.
Fang Xing set off with another famous servant Ding with a knife, but met Zhu Zhanji on the way.
"Brother Dehua, let's try the power of that artillery this time?"
Fang Xing saw that although Zhu Zhanji was not wearing armor, he was in neat attire, so he nodded and said, "I have ordered someone to bring a cannon with us, and today we will use Jia Fei to test the cannon."
Of Zhu Zhanji's guards, only Jia Quan had seen the artillery, so none of them knew the significance of Zhu Zhanji's insistence.
But when they joined Jubao Mountain Guard and saw the cannon dragged by two horses, they couldn't help doubting the power of the cannon.
"lets go."
Fang Xing is also looking forward to the artillery's first actual battle, even if the opponents are just some desperadoes.
Walking all the way around the city, I finally found the Zhuangzi ten miles outside Jiangdongmen...
