Chapter 64: Xue Pan’s Trouble

The next morning, Jia Wei went to Longjinwei to check in, and then went to Beizhenfusi to supervise the Jinyiwei in handling the treason case.

Noon, in the private room of Jinxiangyuan.

Jia Wei sat in the first seat, glancing at the Jinyiwei in turn, secretly memorizing their appearances, names and positions.

Everyone present here is a centurion, but the three Shen Lian brothers have the lowest rank.

But the three of them had already lined up yesterday, and followed Jia Wei on a day's errand, and Shen Lian had also sent a secret errand. So at Jia Wei's invitation, the three of them also sat in the lower right position.

The Jinyiwei had a special status. Although a centurion was only at the sixth rank and a general flag was even lower, they were already the backbone of the army and some high-ranking officials would become weak in the knees when they saw them.

Jia Wei nodded secretly. It was indeed easier to get things done by parachuting in with the permission of his superiors. On the second day, he had already established a firm foothold in the Jinyiwei.

With these centurions following him, he would no longer be constrained by Captain Qiu and Lu Wenzhao.

Zhang Ying, a white and plump centurion sitting at the lower left, handed over a stack of banknotes in a somewhat flattering manner and said with a smile:

"Master Jia, this is a small gift from us, please accept it."

When you entertain your superiors, you naturally cannot come empty-handed; these are the unspoken rules.

Only the three brothers Shen Lian at the bottom right looked at each other in bewilderment. These hundred households had collected money to bribe Jia Wei, but they were not invited...

Jia Wei took a look and saw that the stack of silver notes had a denomination of one hundred taels each, totaling about one thousand taels.

There were eight centurions present, and each of them had to pay more than one hundred taels of silver.

These people are really willing to...

You know, Jia She, who inherited the title of first-class general, owed Sun Shaozu 5,000 taels of silver, so he sold Jia Yingchun to him to pay off the debt...

Although Jia Wei made nearly 200,000 taels of silver from the confiscation of property yesterday, such opportunities don't come often, and ordinary people don't have the courage he has.

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Jia Wei pretended to refuse at first.

Zhang Ying said hurriedly, "When we heard about Lord Jia's heroic deeds of winning the martial arts exam and suppressing the rebellion at Tiewang Mountain, we were filled with admiration for him. That's why we collected some silver to treat you to tea as a token of respect. We have no other intentions."

"If that's the case, I'd like to let you down, so I'll accept it with reluctance." Jia Wei said, putting the banknote into his pocket with a helpless look on his face.

The money must be collected. These Jinyiwei are not good people, and the money is most likely not clean. It would be a waste if you don't want to refuse it.

Besides, if he didn't accept it, these people would feel uncomfortable.

The atmosphere in the private room was lively, with everyone toasting each other and creating a very lively atmosphere.

The soundproofing in the private room is not very good, and you can hear the conversations next door, which is very noisy. So everyone chats very loudly, but this atmosphere is very suitable for drinking.

Jia Wei was arrogant, but not too arrogant. He was dignified but humorous, which made the dinner go smoothly.

Jia Wei knew why these centurions came to him. Although he could not offer them benefits immediately, he also had ways to boost their morale.

Jia Wei shouted, "General Lu, General Shen."

"The humble position is here."

"Before the house search yesterday, did I promise you the position of a hundred households?"

Lu Jianxing's face was complicated. He thought that Jia Wei was resentful because the three brothers did not pay tribute today. He looked at Shen Lian, who looked calm, took a deep breath and said:
"It is only natural that we should follow orders. As for your joke, we didn't take it seriously."

Lu Jianxing was used to being a coward, so even though he felt resentful, he still took the initiative to give Jia Wei a way out.

"A joke? I never tell jokes." Jia Wei smiled and said, "You two have already been assigned the positions of centurions. Go back and wait for your official uniforms and badges. As for Jin Xiaoqi... you will be promoted to the general flag first and take over Shen Lian's position."

Jia Wei looked at everyone and said, "We have to take one step at a time. As long as you do your job well and I am satisfied, becoming a thousand households is a small matter. But if I am not satisfied, then it is hard to say..."

Several centurions were jealous. Lu Jianxing had been seeking the position of centurion for four or five years, right? He was promoted in one day after following Jia Wei...

Everyone said in unison: "Your Excellency is absolutely right! We will serve you till death!"

Looking at Lu Jianxing again, his face was flushed, and his excitement was beyond words. Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan, two younger brothers, raised their glasses to toast him with a bowl of wine.

This bowl of rice is a tribute to your aspirations!
Everyone continued to drink, and suddenly Jia Wei heard a familiar conversation:
"Brother Feng, is the old uncle in good health?..."

"Who are you punching in the face again? You've exposed yourself."

"This face is from the day before yesterday when we were hunting and teaching a falcon to catch a falcon by flapping its wings at Tiewang Mountain." The three people sitting next to each other were Feng Ziying, Jia Baoyu, and Xue Pan.

Xue Pan's loud voice came again, especially clear: "I heard that there was a major treason case on Tiewang Mountain?"

Feng Ziying said: "That's what happened. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. The Jinyiwei is still investigating..."

Xue Pan said: "What is there to investigate? The emperor is old and senile, and he did not pass the throne to Prince Zhongshun. If I were in his place, I would not be willing to accept it either..."

"Wenlong, be careful with your words!" Feng Ziying scolded.

As soon as these words were spoken, the private room where Jia Wei was staying fell silent. Some of the Jinyiwei picked up their wine bowls, some took out the Book of Death, and then everyone turned their eyes tacitly to Jia Wei, who was sitting at the front.

Jia Wei looked at everyone, picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip, and couldn't help but smile.

How many days has it been?

You fool Xue, you've fallen into my hands?
Seeing Jia Wei smile, everyone looked at each other in confusion. No one took the next step, but continued to listen to the sound next door.

Feng Ziying quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, wasn't it Jia Wei from your Jia family who protected the emperor and suppressed the rebellion? He was also honored as a first-class viscount and is favored by the emperor. He is truly a young hero. We are far inferior to him!"

Xue Pan said angrily, "Jia Wei? Bah! He is the abandoned child of Ningguo Mansion in Jinling. He has a lot of strength and luck to be favored by the emperor. Otherwise, what is he?"

The faces of the Jinyiwei centurions changed slightly. Someone was scolding their newly-worshipped boss. This was a good opportunity to curry favor with them, but it sounded like this person was from the same family as the boss. This made it difficult to deal with...

Jia Wei put down his wine bowl and looked at Zhang Ying standing beside him. "Have you taken note of these treasonous words?"

Zhang Ying took out his impermanence book, dipped his pen in tea, and said as he wrote, "I have made a note of it!"

Jia Wei nodded: "Well, let's stop here for today, let's go home and do our work."

Zhang Ying asked quickly: "Sir, it sounds like they are from the same clan as you..."

Jia Wei's meaning was very clear, but if this matter was taken to a larger scale, the implications would be limitless, so Zhang Ying naturally wanted to know to what extent it would be achieved.

"That's not the guy who said that." Jia Wei smiled and walked out, "Don't play around."

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Zhang Ying's eyes instantly lit up. It was obvious that this matter had been successfully accomplished, which in Jia Wei's heart was much greater than any other achievement in terms of property confiscation.

Zhang Ying sat for a while, and when Jia Wei walked away, he led a few centurions to kick open the door of the next box.

"Who the hell are you? Are you tired of living?" Xue Pan cursed.

Two centurions went up and held Xue Pan down, and Zhang Ying slapped Xue Pan twice on the face, knocking him unconscious.

Feng Ziying recognized the uniform of the Jinyiwei and was horrified and told Xue Pan to shut up.

"I am the son of the Godly General Feng Tang, and this is the young master of the Rongguo Mansion. May I ask, sir, is there any misunderstanding?"

Zhang Ying sneered: "It's none of your business, get out of here."

Even if the Jinyiwei came to do the job and General Feng Tang came in person, it was of no use.

Zhang Ying grabbed Xue Pan's head with one hand and held the Book of Impermanence with the other, and said in a cold voice:
"Every word you just said, I have recorded it in this book of impermanence."

"You are so bold to slander the emperor and confuse the people with lies!"

"Come with me to the Imperial Prison!"
