    Yangzhou Dongcheng, Wenchang Street.

    Penglai Restaurant.

    In the Tianzihao elegant room on the third floor, the five major salt merchants, Zhao Pu, Zheng Ze, Li Xin, Chen Nan, and Zhou Yi, sat by the window, frequently looking to the west.

    Although it is two streets away from Shuanghuai Street and cannot be seen clearly, looking west from here, one can still vaguely see the outline of Kew Gardens and the iconic white tower of Kew Gardens.

    They have all seen the spring scenery and tasted the delicacies of the world from the white tower.

    Today, the Qiu family is hosting the banquet for Jinyiwei commander Jia Cong and his family members.

    This matter is by no means a trivial matter. It is related to the major direction of the relationship between the imperial power represented by Jia Cong and the local salt merchants in Yangzhou.

    Therefore, with the calm nature of Zhao Pu, the old man of the Zhao family, he couldn't help but choose this restaurant that is closest to Qiu Garden and has the best view to stay, so that he can know the latest development of the matter as soon as possible.

    It was just for a while, and there was no movement.

    Only when the servant came back to report once, and the host and guest met happily, did everyone in the restaurant, who had been worried about it, heave a sigh of relief

    Zheng Ze seemed to be more lively. Everyone else was silently drinking tea and waiting for good news, but he couldn't sit still. After looking left and right for a while, he smiled at Zhao Pu who was sitting in the seat: "Old man, do you think this old Qiu is the right person?"  Are you too cunning? In the past, he was the one who caused troubles and always cried out for Bai Shijie.

    Well, the Bai family and An family just destroyed the house. When we were preparing to wait for the cold, he fell well and got into a knot!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? It¡¯s really unexpected¡­¡±

    Mr. Zhao Pu glanced at him indifferently and said in a slow tone: "The daughter of the Qiu family is a member of Lin Yanyuan. With this connection, it is easier for Ziquan to come forward. He is not doing it for himself, but also for Yangzhou.  Salt merchant.

    ¡°Now that young uncle lives in Yanzheng Yamen, it¡¯s easy for him to take advantage of our salt merchants, he only needs to use the name of Lin Yanyuan to act.

    If the people do not fight with the officials and can reconcile, it is better than a stalemate.  "

    Zheng Ze sighed and said: "Old man, why don't I understand this truth? It's just that I don't want to accept this fate. If I get on that noble man's strings, the Qiu family will be in trouble in the future!"  When the family was here, he followed the Bai family closely, but now that such a dragon has arrived, the Qiu family has quickly moved closer to it, how come all the good things are his?"

    Zhao Pu was too lazy to pay attention to these sour words. Chen Nan, the head of the Chen family, laughed and said: "Brother Zheng, the old man is right. It is better to break the situation than to remain in a stalemate. I was worried that it would get worse in the future.  I haven't slept well these past few days. Lao Qiu's invitation to the host has put my heart at ease. Today I will do the accounting and no one will rob me. As for other things, don't worry too much. Salt Road has  As long as the old man¡¯s needle is still there, no one can cause trouble, I¡¯m rest assured.¡±

    Li Xin and Zhou Yi also happily agreed and advised Zheng Ze to relax.

    Zheng Ze thought about it and realized that this really makes sense.

    Jia Cong and Jin Yiwei¡¯s recent violent and violent actions have really frightened them.

    The eight major salt merchants have been in Yangzhou and making waves in Jiangnan for a long time, and they all have a mentality that they are the masters of Jiangnan, or at least Yangzhou.

    But Jia Cong could not lead more than three thousand Jinyi Tiqi, so he shattered their illusion into pieces.

    Even Bai Shijie, who danced the most happily before, after being surrounded by Jinyi, just wanted to run away with his family to the sea, not to rebel.

    The relationships that have been built with gold and silver are of no use at the critical moment.

    How can you not be anxious?

    Now it¡¯s a good thing. As for whether the Qiu family will suddenly rise and become another Bai family, it¡¯s hard to say yet.

    Then let¡¯s forget about it for now¡­

    Zheng Ze raised his glass and said happily: "It's rare for Lao Chen to invite a host back. Come on, come on, we can't be very happy all year round. Qiu Fox is entertaining guests in his Qiu Garden. Let's have fun here in Penglai Pavilion. It's a leisurely day. Old man  , do you always want to have a drink?"

    Zhao Pu seemed to be in a good mood. He usually did not drink alcohol, but today he broke the rule. He laughed and said, "That's fine, just have a glass of sake."

    Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became more and more intense.

    After Zheng Ze personally filled a glass of apricot blossom sake for Zhao Pu, everyone toasted together, and without clich¨¦d remarks, they drank happily.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s really a delicious sound.

    After covering up his worries, Zhao Pu showed his face again. Zheng Ze happily drank a glass of wine. He was about to put down the glass and pour it again. Suddenly, the expression on his face appeared.nbsp; No, it was five screams in a row.

    He looked back and his eyes were about to burst!

    I saw the six servants who originally gathered around to capture the housekeeper Song Er. Except for the one who fell behind him, the other five were not there to capture Song Er. Instead, they each stabbed his second son and grandson with a knife.  , bright red blood flowed out.

    The screamers are his children and grandchildren!  !

    Qiu Lin was the only one left, but his life was saved by Jia Cong's men and he slipped over.

    "Song Er!!"

    Qiu Lun looked at the butler who was looking at him triumphantly with a ferocious face, and roared heartbreakingly, wishing he could skin him and convulse him.

    But he heard Song Er yelling louder than him: "Jinyiwei killed the master, the eldest master, and the second master, to avenge the master, to die for the Qiu family, kill him!!"

    The forty or fifty servants of the Qiu family who had been standing humbly in the corridor now turned into crazy demons and rushed towards the motorcade, shouting and killing: "Avenge the master, avenge the Qiu family!"

    "More than a dozen of them took out palm-sized porcelain gourds from their pockets and smashed them onto five carriages.

    There was a crackling sound, and the five carriages were covered in black oil.

    ??Then the fire sticks flew away one by one, and the carriage, which was already wrapped in silk, all burned with a "boom".

    The fire is soaring to the sky!

    And in Kew Gardens, the most dazzling white tower also burst into flames.

    Seeing this, Qiu Lun felt his eyes go dark and was about to faint.
