The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1229 Clan meeting!

The next morning, it was drizzling.
But compared to the bad weather, the Jinyiwei was scorching hot.
Because they "successfully" wiped out the branch of the Wenxiang Sect and even found out the bandits in the imperial court, it was truly a great achievement!

While the Jinyiwei were discussing how to divide the credit, Xue Pan woke up from his cell with a confused look on his face.
"Hiss? It hurts so much!"

Covering his cheek, Xue Pan couldn't help but screaming,
Seeing Xue Pan waking up, the servant hurried forward and said, "Master, are you okay?"

"Damn it, why does my face hurt so much? Tell me, did you hit me?"

Looking at the servant angrily, Xue Pan could not help but scold him.

"Master, please take a look at where we are first! We are in the Jinyiwei prison!"

Looking at Xue Pan helplessly, the two servants immediately felt aggrieved.
Because if the master hadn't insisted on joining in the fun last night, how could they have driven their carriage directly into the middle of the Jinyiwei and a group of bandits!

I heard that all the fifth-rank Tongzhi in Jinling were killed last night. You can imagine how serious this matter is!
Hearing this all of a sudden, Xue Pan was stunned and said, "What? I'm in the Jinyiwei prison!"

Blinking blankly, Xue Pan immediately asked: "What happened last night?"

Looking at Xue Pan aggrievedly, the servant told him what happened last night.
Hearing about his domineering deeds last night, Xue Pan was already sweating profusely.
In front of a group of bandits and Jinyiwei, he said they were just ordinary people and he himself was not stabbed. He must have been blessed by his ancestors!

Zhang Cheng: You are right to call yourself Xue the Big Fool!

After learning that his son was detained by the Imperial Guards, Xue Ju rushed over before dawn and found the Jia family's warrant. He finally met the real owner.
After talking about what happened last night, Xue Ju was sweating profusely.

Because he only has this one stupid son, and he caused a big disaster last night. He was lucky that he was not killed on the spot.
Xue Ju stepped forward and looked at the captain of the Jinyiwei. He smiled and said, "Thank you Captain Wu for protecting my son last night. Otherwise, he would have encountered bandits!"

Xue Ju took out some silver and handed it to the other party. He bowed and smiled.
"Hey, what does Ziwei Sheren mean? I have always been on good terms with the Jia family, and these are just trivial matters!"

After collecting the banknote, Qian Hu touched it and smiled.
Because the Xue family is truly worthy of being Ziwei Sheren, they spent three thousand taels!
If it had not been discovered last night that He Tongzhi was a member of the Wenxiang Sect, Xue Pan would have been in big trouble. Even with the protection of the Jia family, the Jinyiwei would have bitten him hard.
After all, the matter is too big, and that is a fifth-rank associate governor!

But things are different now. Xue Pan is just a small fry at most, and the Jinyiwei don't think highly of him at all. After all, the order from the Jia family has arrived, and if they don't let him go, that would be too much!
Although the Jia family stood on the wrong side in the court, their influence in the military is not low!

Otherwise, how could Wang Ziteng become the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp!
As the third largest of the four major families, the Wang family cannot compare with the Jia family in terms of reputation or influence.

The reason why he was able to stand up was because the Jia family needed him to be the face of the family!
But the problem is that after the Jia family had used up all their favors, Wang Ziteng no longer took the Jia family seriously!
And Mrs. Wang, the mother of Big Face Bao, never considered herself as a member of the Jia family. Instead, she kept helping Wang Ziteng usurp the Jia family's connections!

Didn't Jia She understand? He understood, but he couldn't stop it, because the Jia family needed someone to stand up, but the question was, could anyone in the family do it?
Jia Jing in Ningguo Mansion went to cultivate immortality, and Jia Zhen need not be mentioned, he was a complete waste, and Jia Rong, under his education, was submissive and did not have any gentlemanly demeanor at all.
As for Rongguo Mansion, Jia She cannot show up and can only act crazy and stupid, while Jia Zheng is a pedantic scholar who only knows how to talk nonsense every day.
But the problem is that Rongguo Mansion is a family of military honors, but he is a scholar. The civil officials don't buy it, and the military honors also despise him.
As for Jia Lian, he is okay at his job, but if he is asked to use his connections to get promoted and take on the responsibility of running the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang will be the first one to object, because this belongs to her Wang family!
So in the end, it was only Wang Ziteng, an outsider, who benefited!

When Jia Yucun came to Beijing, he was a commoner who was dismissed for corruption. But what happened? The Jia family used their connections to directly promote him to the rank of Jinling prefect.

You know, Jinling is not an ordinary place. To be able to serve as the prefect here, you can imagine how powerful the Jia family was at that time!
But it was precisely because they did not treat favors as money that the Jia family ended up with nothing, without even a soul to help them!

In ancient times, being an official was all about personal connections.

You help me, and I give you a hand, and it is a matter of reciprocity, and everyone supports each other. However, the Jia family only knows how to ask for things, but not how to give. Even though the two Dukes of the Jia family had accumulated great grace and honor in the past, it was all spent by them!

Coming out of the Jinyiwei prison, Xue Pan blinked his eyes, as if he had not yet reacted.
Looking at his son beside him, Xue Ju said, "Go back and study hard. You are causing trouble all the time!"

Hearing his father scolding him, Xue Pan lowered his head obediently.
Because if he dared to refute, Xue Ju would really dare to take action!

In a small courtyard somewhere in Jinling,

Liu Bangyou, with a face full of pain, couldn't help twisting on the bed, stretched out his hand to scratch his skin and said: "Give me Wuxiang, give me Wuxiang, please, give me Wuxiang, I really need it!"

Looking at Liu Bangyou's appearance, Zhang Cheng looked at him in silence, then rolled up a cigarette and lit it.
Just as he was spitting out the thick fog, Liu Bangyou rushed up and said, "Give me Wuxiang, do you hear me? I will kill you, I will kill you!"

"Ok?"

He looked up at Liu Bangyou, and a terrifying murderous intent immediately made his brain clear.

Liu Bangyou retreated in a cold sweat and fell on the bed, as if he saw an evil dragon staring at him.
"Just bear with it. It's not that easy to start a new life!"

Addressing Liu Bangyou, Zhang Cheng stood up and said, "Tie him up with chains, and don't let him go out except for three meals a day!"

After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the Kriegs who came forward immediately took action.
"Where are you going, where are you going!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a pale face, Liu Bangyou yelled,

"go home!"

Looking at Liu Bangyou, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but squint his eyes.

After seeing his appearance, Zhang Cheng knew that he had one more thing to do in this world, and that was to completely eradicate the Wen Xiang Sect!
Jinling, Jia family,
The people of the twelve meridians are gathered here at this moment.
After reading the genealogy, the old man above said: "I think everyone understands the reason for calling you all together this time. That is, we need someone from the clan to serve in the frontier army."

"What? Join the army? Isn't that courting death?"

"Why does our Jia family need this? Aren't we living a good life?"

"No, I can't go. I'll die!"

While many people were discussing, Zhang Cheng was sitting at the back, cracking melon seeds leisurely.

Because he is also a member of the Jia family, if the family chooses him, he has no way to refuse!

After all, the Jia family has clan land. Regardless of whether my father was a illegitimate son or not over the years, the clan would take their share, and even during festivals, they would get some grain, meat and silver!

In ancient times, when clan concepts were the most serious, if you had a reputation for being unfilial, you were finished. Not to mention becoming an official, you couldn't even be a human being!
