    "Sir, why don't you let me go?"

    In the Tea Station, Zhan Peng complained with unprecedented sadness.

    Jia Cong ordered 1,500 soldiers in brocade uniforms to send out six routes and attack Yangzhou Mansion.

    But Zhan Peng, Shen Yan and twenty soldiers carrying strange "iron rods" stayed behind.

    "You can't join in the excitement of such a lively drama. Zhan Peng already wants to die."

    Jia Cong glanced at him, looked at the tea lady who had made tea again and brought it over, and asked Zhan Peng: "Didn't you tell me that Liu Zhao sent people to chase you and you were seriously injured, and you were killed here?"  Was it saved by Lady Tea? Why don¡¯t you thank your savior today when you meet him?"

    Tea Lady is a middle-aged woman in her late thirties, wearing a cloth-fronted wooden hairpin and no makeup, but her charm is still there.

    Hearing Jia Cong¡¯s words, Tea Lady¡¯s face froze and she looked towards Zhan Peng.

    Zhan Peng complained to Jia Cong: "Sir, didn't you say that it's not good to expose the Thirteenth Lady? If people listen to it, Liu Zhao still has some minions and accomplices that haven't been eliminated, causing trouble for others!"

    Jia Cong chuckled and said: "From now on, you, Master Zhan, will be looking after me. Who dares to cause trouble with Thirteen Niangs?"

    The tea lady's polite smile returned to her face, she changed the tea on Jia Cong's table, and said: "The officials are joking, it's just a small effort, it's nothing"

    Jia Cong's eyes fell on Tea Lady and said: "I heard Zhan Peng say that if Thirteenth Mother hadn't been clever enough to hide him in the water tank, he would not have been able to escape Liu Zhao's followers. At that time, the whole Jiangnan was full of chaos.  Liu Zhao's people, Thirteenth Niang dared to sacrifice herself to save others in front of Liu Zhao's fangs. You are so brave! I admire you."

    The tea lady smiled apologetically and said: "The high official is wrong about the reward. He sacrifices himself to save others. He is just a man who runs a tea station to make a living. How can he be brave? That day, I just looked at this brother this lord.  When I was in trouble, I helped him back. We who opened the tea station and ate the Jianghu food, our loyalty came first. We relied on them to support us. If there was anyone who could help, we would try our best to help.

    Do good deeds and be rewarded with good deeds!  No, now this gentleman has transformed into a big tree, and our tea station can also enjoy the cool under the big tree!  "

    Hearing this, Zhan Peng burst into laughter, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Thirteenth Mother, if anything happens in the future, just go to the Hundred Household Office to report my name!"

    The tea lady was overjoyed and thanked her profusely.

    Jia Cong looked on, nodded, and said with a smile: "What Thirteenth Mother said is true, but in Yangzhou Mansion, eighty people make a living by using the word "salt".

    The eight major salt merchants are as rich as the enemy.

    There are countless illegal salt dealers behind the scenes. They are in the rivers and lakes of Yangzhou Prefecture and the big trees in Yangzhou Prefecture.

    Thirteenth Niang often interacts with them, so she must have made more detailed arrangements to take care of them.  "

    As soon as these words came out, Zhan Peng's expression changed and he looked at Jia Cong in confusion.

    However, the tea lady's expression did not change and she said with a smile: "Set up a seven-star stove and boil three rivers in a copper pot. We set up the Eight Immortals table and all the guests came. I really don't know what the master said about the salt merchant's private salt. When we meet, smile, people  The tea will be cold when you leave it. A woman from the slave family makes a living by tea, how can she know what is wrong with the world?"

    Jia Cong smiled and nodded, saying: "It makes sense"

    Zhan Penghai breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Jia Cong would say something else, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Sir, what are we doing here?"

    Jia Cong said: "Waiting for someone."

    "Waiting for someone?"

    Zhan Peng was puzzled, so he saw an expressionless Shen Lang walking in and said in a deep voice: "Sir, we are here."

    Everyone looked out and saw a carriage slowly stopping in front of the tea station, escorted by dozens of servants.

    Not long after, the car door opened, and an old man wearing a light uniform was helped out of the car by a pair of maids.

    Seeing this old man, everyone else was fine. Only the tea lady narrowed her eyes slightly and her expression changed

    Jia Cong was clearly looking ahead, but as if there were eyes on the side, he asked without looking back: "Do you know this person?"

    Tea Lady smiled unnaturally and said, "Besides Mr. Zhao of the Zhao family, he is a great philanthropist respected by everyone in Yangzhou Prefecture. Who doesn't know him?"

    Jia Cong chuckled, nodded and said, "Yes, but there are many people who know Thirteen Niangs Yi Bo Yuntian, Cha Thirteen Niangs are known as the female Bodhisattvas in the world, even I have heard of them."

    Hearing this, the tea lady's face became more and more unnatural. She chuckled and was about to say something when she saw Jia Cong getting up and greeting the visitor.

    "The old Zhao Pu, the old Zhao family, has met you, sir."

    The old man who came to meet was white-haired, but his breath was calm, and he greeted him politely with fists clasped in his arms.

    &n?¡°There will be someone waiting for them.¡±

    Zhao Pu looked straight at Jia Cong, and after a while, he sighed and said: "I'm convinced! Without the private salt subsidy, even if you don't take action against the Bai family, their family won't be able to support it for long. Moreover, the Bai family left salt behind."  The vacancies in the goods channel will be filled immediately. The Bai family is worse than death, and can only wait for death.

    "I'm just afraid that Bai Shijie will jump over the wall in a hurry"

    Jia Cong chuckled, took a sip of tea, looked at Zhao Pu and said, "That's why I invited the old man to come out for tea. I need a guarantee from the old man that the salt channel cannot be messed up and the price of salt cannot be raised. The most important thing is,  There must be no chaos in Yangzhou Prefecture. Can it be done?"

    Hearing this, Zhao Pu twitched the corner of his mouth, his face full of embarrassment.

    When Jia Cong saw this, he raised his eyebrows and said: "If the old man is in trouble, I won't force it. Tomorrow, I will invite the leading figures from Shanxi, Lu and Guangdong to a banquet at Liuyun Pavilion"

    Zhao Pu¡¯s expression finally changed after hearing this, and he hurriedly said: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sir, I guarantee that everything will be perfect!!¡±

    The eight major salt merchants who now occupy Yangzhou Prefecture are basically from Huizhou merchants.

    ??It took generations of their ancestors to pay a lot of price and even their lives to occupy this "golden mountain and silver sea". No matter how hard they try, it doesn't matter, but they must never let others get their hands on it.

    Absolutely not!

    Jia Cong nodded when he heard this and said: "That's it. It's getting late. The old man should go back and rest."

    Zhao Pu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Have a rest" He was lucky to be able to squint for a moment tonight.

    However, he still stood up and said goodbye: "I don't dare to delay your important business."

    After saying that, supported by two pretty maids, they boarded the carriage and drove away.

    After watching Zhao Pu leave, Jia Cong called out to Zhan Peng, who was about to pour a cup of tea to drink by himself, and said, "You should offer this cup of tea to Thirteen Niangs. After you have done so, it's time for us to set off."

    Zhan Peng was startled when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "My lord, what you are talking about is" After saying that, he handed the tea cup in his hand to the tea lady.

    But I saw the tea lady¡¯s face gradually turning pale
