The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

But even so, he didn't dare to harbor any resentment, because Brother Dao was too powerful!

Tang Xiaolong snorted coldly and then let go of Jia Rong.

He grabbed Jia Zhen's hair and pinched his chin hard.

Jia Zhen was startled and didn't dare to look Tang Xiaolong in the eye.

"Dao, Brother Dao?"

Tang Xiaolong looked at Jia Zhen with a sneer and patted his white and chubby face.

"Jia Zhen, I'm giving you the opportunity to choose because of the friendship we've had these days!"

"But you don't really have any choice! If you don't agree, I will immediately hand over the letter of surrender you signed yesterday to the court. Humph, Jia Zhen, you don't want... the entire Jia family to be executed because of you, do you?"

Jia Zhen was filled with grief and indignation, but he had not yet spoken.

Jia Rong on the other side said to Tang Xiaolong with a flattering look on his face,

"Brother Dao is wise. This old man Jia Zhen deserves a beating. At worst, Brother Dao can just hand over his letter of allegiance to the court!"

Jia Zhen was furious when he heard this. He turned around and glared at Jia Rong, saying angrily,

"Rebellious son! Do you really want to destroy the entire Jia family? When the nest is overturned, no one can escape unharmed. If the Jia family is gone, do you think you can still survive?"

Jia Rong smiled contemptuously and said,

"Don't worry about it, father!"

Then she turned around and looked at Tang Xiaolong lovingly.

"With Brother Dao here, I believe I will be safe!"

"you you……"

Jia Zhen was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Seeing that Jia Zhen dared to get angry, Tang Xiaolong threw Jia Zhen onto the couch.

He extended his hand to Jia Rong who was standing beside him.

"Bring it!"

Jia Rong was startled when he heard this. He looked at Tang Xiaolong, then at Jia Zhen, then he swallowed his saliva and said cautiously,

"Brother Dao, how about giving him a few more whips? That thing could kill someone, I'm afraid?"

Tang Xiaolong frowned.

"Brother Dao is in charge of everything, so why should you interfere? Bring it to me!"

Seeing Tang Xiaolong's stern expression, Jia Rong sighed softly.

"Father, you'd better obey Brother Dao!"

Looking at Jia Zhen with sympathy, Jia Rong shook his head helplessly.

He took a box from the side, opened it, and handed one of the items inside to Tang Xiaolong.

When Jia Zhen saw what was in Tang Xiaolong's hand, his pupils constricted instantly.

Tang Xiaolong was holding an iron rod with a strange front end, as thick as a child's arm.

This is not a big deal. The key point is that this iron rod is covered with densely packed sharp thorns.

Tang Xiaolong grinned twice, placed the iron rod in his hand on Jia Zhen's back, and then slowly slid it down.

Feeling the cold touch and the sharp thorns scratching my body,

Jia Zhen's expression was filled with shock, his body trembling, and he let out a cry of terror that was not human.

"No! No! No! I agreed! I obeyed!"

"I promised Brother Dao that I would follow the army and help you from behind!"

Tang Xiaolong snorted, threw the thing in his hand to Jia Rong, and sneered at Jia Zhen,

"Humph! You bastard! If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"

"Pack up later and go to Wang's house!"

Jia Zhen nodded in fear.

"Yes, yes, Jen gets it!"

Jia Rong, who was standing aside, silently put away the iron rod, a look of disappointment on his face.

On the second day,

When Wang Ziteng entered the palace to express his gratitude, Emperor Xinglong ordered Dai Quan to pass on the message:

Let him go to Nanjing to take up his post as soon as possible and eliminate the banditry in Yangzhou as soon as possible.

This made Wang Ziteng, who had originally planned to celebrate in Shenjing, understand the emperor's intention.

That day, he ordered his family to pack up their luggage and left the capital overnight to head south.

The sons of noble families also followed Wang Ziteng and left the capital with a small entourage, preparing to go to Nanjing to catch this express train to gain merit.

Although Emperor Xinglong was unhappy about this,

But the emperor was still alive, and it was impossible for him to stop these young nobles who were trying to gain merit.

It was beyond Emperor Xinglong's expectation that Wang Ziteng would take over as the general of Jinling.

Next, we will wait for this year's salt tax to arrive in Beijing, stabilize the northern defense of the nine borders, and wait for the good news from Wang Ziteng, the general of Nanjing.

However, what surprised Wang Ziteng and a group of noble sons was that they did not expect that there would be such an unexpected person accompanying them on this trip.
