Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast

After Zhen Jian gave the order, the private soldiers of the Zhen family who followed him walked towards Zhen Jiang.

"stop!"

Wearing a white dress and with her arms outstretched, Zhen Tuo stood in front of her sister Zhen Jiang.

"You...you can't bully my sister!" Zhen Tuo's slightly childish voice rang out.

Her pretty face was tense with grievance, and tears seemed to glisten in her beautiful eyes.

"Second sister..."

Zhen Jiang grabbed Zhen Tuo's shoulder from behind.

"Elder sister..." Zhen Tuo turned to Zhen Jiang with a wronged expression and said, "They...they are bullying us too much."

"If Father were still alive, they would never dare to bully people like this..."

When the word "father" was mentioned, Zhen Jiang bit her red lips tightly, and the tears that had been swirling in her beautiful eyes slid down her cheeks.

last year.

At the beginning of last year, her father suddenly passed away due to illness.

The house was instantly turned into a complete mess.

My mother fell seriously ill because of my father's sudden death.

My two younger brothers are still young.

There are also four younger sisters.

She is the eldest sister in the family.

It was precisely because her father suddenly passed away and there was no one in charge of the family that she had no choice but to show her face in public.

Therefore, he went to Bingzhou.

The Zhen family was a large one; besides her father, she had an uncle and two other uncles.

Her father was the second son in the family.

However, after her father passed away, her eldest uncle and two other uncles not only did not help, but also thought about how to take a larger share of the Zhen family's property.

The Zhen family was extremely wealthy in the Zhongshan Kingdom, and even in the entire Ji Province.

In a struggle for more of the family fortune, after her father's death, the three women worried that the other would take more than their share, so they stayed at home every day.

Otherwise, why would a young woman of marriageable age like her come out into the world and engage in business?

Now, thanks to her year-long efforts, the Zhen family's situation has finally stabilized.

But after seeing the huge profits from white paper and snow salt, they all came to the door again.

This is not the first time.

This has happened several times before.

The eldest son, third son, and fourth son came to demand profits from white paper and snow salt.

Although snow salt and white paper sold well, the vast majority of the profits went to Duan Yu.

She has clearly said it several times.

But they just don't believe it.

They forced her to reveal Duan Yu's name.

"Elder sister, why...why didn't you tell them?" Zhen Tuo asked anxiously.

Zhen Jiang grabbed her younger sister, Zhen Tuo.

Then he gently shook his head.

"Little sister, you don't understand."

Zhen Jiang shook her head and said, then looked at the eldest, third, and fourth branches of the family and continued, "Uncle, Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, what you are doing will bring trouble to the Zhen family sooner or later."

"Hmph." Zhen Jian snorted coldly and said, "Niece, your uncle is doing this for the good of the Zhen family."

"If you comply, I will pretend that none of this ever happened."

"Your second branch is still a member of the Zhen family, and the Zhen family will naturally support you in the future."

“But if you don’t comply, then you can’t blame your uncle.”

Zhen Jiang pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Someone, bring Zhen Jiang back to the carriage and then send her back to Zhen's Fortress."

After Zhen Jian finished speaking, he turned his back and looked at the caravan that was approaching in the distance.

..........

In the distance, Jia Dong stood at the edge of the carriage, watching the Zhen family's private soldiers who had suddenly appeared.

He raised his eyebrows slightly.

At the head of the caravan, Zhao Feng rode swiftly to Jia Dong's carriage.

“Master, suddenly there are Zhen’s private soldiers ahead. They seem to have ill intentions,” Zhao Feng said from his horse.

Jia Dong tilted his head and rubbed his chin.

He had been in contact with the Zhen family for so long that he naturally knew what was going on inside the family.

They're just greedy for money.

The Zhen family's first, third, and fourth branches have been working together to coerce Zhen Jiang for quite some time.

The eldest, third, and fourth wives all believed that the snow salt and white paper were Zhen Jiang's own business.

The Zhen family only took about 30% of the profits from the snow salt and white paper.

He planned to take the remaining profits back to Jinyang and then send them to Liangzhou.

The first, third, and fourth wives of the Zhen family believed that Zhen Jiang had used the pretense of having a business partner to pocket the remaining 70% of the profits.

He also reported this matter to Liangzhou.

Duan Yu's reply to him at the time was to let Zhen Jiang handle it herself.

Do not reveal your identity for the time being, at least not before March of this year.

Standing on the carriage, Jia Dong calculated the time.

It's almost mid-February now, and in just over ten days it will be March.

"Maintain normal operations. No matter what the Zhen family does, do not act rashly," Jia Dong ordered Zhao Feng.

Then a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "Let them do as they please."

"The happier you are now, the sadder you will be when you cry later."

Zhao Feng, who was riding on horseback, nodded.

Jia Dong, on the other hand, stood calmly on the carriage.

Not long after Zhen Jiang was invited onto the carriage by the Zhen family's soldiers, her uncle Zhen Jian ordered the Zhen family's cavalry and private soldiers to intercept the caravan.

Hundreds of carriages came to a stop.

Under the protection of a group of guards, Jia Dong arrived at the front of the caravan.

The three brothers, Zhen Jian, Zhen Ren, and Zhen You, stood still.

When Zhen Jian saw Jia Dong walking towards him, he spoke up.

Zhen Jian first looked Jia Dong, who was dressed in a purple robe and had a thin build, up and down.

Then, with a stern face, he said, "You... you must be Jia Dong, the manager under my niece."

Jia Dong's eyes darted around, then he chuckled and said, "Exactly, exactly."

"You must be Master Zhen," Jia Dong said with a fawning smile.

Upon hearing Jia Dong's address, Zhen Jian turned his head to look at Jia Dong and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "He is indeed a smart man."

"That's right, I am Zhen Jian." Zhen Jian's gaze passed over Jia Dong and looked at the convoy behind Jia Dong, saying, "Is this convoy carrying snow salt and white paper?"

Jia Dong nodded.

Seeing Jia Dong nod, the three Zhen brothers' eyes immediately lit up.

These hundreds of horse-drawn carriages must have been carrying so much white paper and snow salt.

How much would this cost?

"Hmm." Zhen Jian nodded in satisfaction and said, "From now on, just hand over the white paper and snow salt to us."

"In addition, my eldest niece said that Zhen Baizhi and Xueyan have factories in Jinyang, and we will send people from the Zhen family there."

"From now on, you will continue to serve the Zhen family, and you will receive every penny you are entitled to."

"And there will be even more."

"Do you understand what I mean?" Zhen Jian said.

Jia Dong smiled.

And I almost burst out laughing.

They also sent people to Jinyang.

Still serving the Zhen family?

The Zhen family is really asking for trouble.

Zhen Jian really dares to say anything.

Should someone be sent to Jinyang?

I'm afraid that once they reach Jinyang, not even a trace of bones will remain.

He doesn't need to lift a finger.

Liu Wei, the prefect of Taiyuan, was enough to give Lady Zhen a hard time.

Does Zhen Jian still want the Zhen family to work for him?

What a joke.

It is true that the Zhen family has a certain foundation.

But that was before.

It's not good enough now.

Jia Dong's eyes darted around, but his smile remained unchanged.

"I understand, I understand, but I still need to see Miss." Jia Dong said, seizing the opportunity to back down.

Seeing that everything was settled, the three Zhen brothers had nothing to worry about.

So he waved his hand.

Jia Dong glanced at Zhao Feng and said, "Hand the caravan over to the Zhen family and ignore them."

"Gather our people together; there's no need for resistance."

Zhao Feng immediately nodded.

With permission, Jia Dong approached Zhen Jiang's carriage.

At this time, Zhen Jiang was already confined to the carriage by the Zhen family's private soldiers.

"Young Miss." Jia Dong called out as he approached the carriage.

Zhen Jiang looked at Jia Dong from the car window.

His eyes seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words.

"Young Miss, don't worry, I..."

Jia Dong looked towards the northwest, then lowered his voice and said, "The Lord has made arrangements, Miss, there's no need to panic."

"As long as you take care of your health, the rest of the problems are not problems."

As Jia Dong spoke, he pulled a letter out of his sleeve.

"Young Miss, this is a letter from Lord Junhou to you."

Upon hearing that there was a letter from Duan Yu, Zhen Jiang's tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed.

She bit her red lips tightly, her eyes filled with joy and anticipation, and a touch of shyness, as she took Duan Yu's letter from Jia Dong's hand.

"Don't worry, Miss," Jia Dong said, offering another word of comfort.

Zhen Jiang nodded.

Holding Duan Yu's letter to his chest, he still said with slight worry, "My uncle said that Li Zhao, the governor of Ji Province, is also included in this letter..."

Jia Dong smiled and shook his head: "It's alright, Miss. Lord Jun has his own plans."

"Please rest assured, Miss."
