After hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Jiao Shun couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "What happened? This place is not far from my house. Why don't you go to my place first and explain it clearly?"

Wang Xifeng hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

It seemed that the Rongguo Mansion had not encountered any big trouble again, otherwise Wang Xifeng would have been eager to drag her back to the mansion instead of agreeing to go to her own house to clarify the matter first.

Could it be because of the Wang family?

But didn't she come to the door triumphantly yesterday and say that the Wang family had reached a compromise with the officials and merchants of Zhejiang and Zhejiang?

Seeing how impatient she is to renew their relationship, there should be no truth to her words.

Jiao Shun thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it any more. Anyway, everything would be clear when he got home.

There was no more words to say on the way.

When they arrived at the front hall of the Jiao family, Wang Xifeng rebuked everyone around him and said anxiously: "Something happened in my mother's family! This morning, two long-tongued censors wrote a book about it, shaking off all the affairs in the south.

Come out!"

It’s really for the Wang family.

Jiao Shun wondered: "But didn't you just say yesterday..."

"The people from Zhejiang and Zhejiang really promised to reconcile!"

Wang Xifeng made no mistake, then couldn't help but stand up and wander around in the living room: "My father does have something to kill them, how dare they, just dare..."

Seeing that she was obviously confused, Jiao Shun raised his hand and pressed it twice: "Please calm down for a moment. Is the impeachment leak revealed openly or secretly?"

"Of course it's Mingfa!"

Wang Xifeng stopped and said angrily: "If it was a secret report, how could I receive the news so quickly?"

"Is there any transcript of the original text?"

"this……"

Wang Xifeng suddenly got stuck and said hesitantly: "I also got the news on the way, and I came to you anxiously to discuss countermeasures - but there may be a copy in our house."

Got~

She came here without knowing much about feelings.

Wang Xifeng also knew that she was confused and hurriedly excused herself: "That's why I asked you to go back to your home with me, but you insist on coming home first!"

Jiao Shun couldn't help but roll his eyes. Feng Lazi's problem of unreasonably disturbing things would probably never change in this life.

It is said that Mr. Jiao has surrendered so many women, but she is still the only one who is still stubborn and will never give in no matter how miserable she loses - but this unwavering rebelliousness may also be the reason.

It is her unique charm.

"what are you thinking?!"

Seeing that he seemed a little distracted, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but urge: "This time it's really urgent. If you push back again, not to mention that I won't agree, our wife will probably not agree either!"

Huh?

From what I mean, it seems like she has already...

Jiao Shun said perfunctorily with a guilty conscience: "Auntie is not as pushy as you are."

"嘁~"

Wang Xifeng put her hands on her hips and leaned her plump body forward slightly, with a look of ridicule on her face: "You still want to hide it from me now? Others don't know your background, so it's fine if they can't see it. How can I still not see it?

I’m afraid you’ve already hooked up with Kabuto?!”

"this……"

Does she really know?

Although Jiao Shun didn't panic, he still refused to admit it. He frowned and stood up and said: "Where do you start talking about this? How old is she? Even if I am lustful, I won't be so hungry, right?"

Wang Xifeng stared at her closely and tried again: "So, you think our wife is too old? What about my aunt? She is very good at looking good..."

"You're not done yet?!"

Only then did Jiao Shun confirm that she was just doubtful and not sure yet, so he slapped the table with feigned anger: "Are you here because of Captain Wang's matter, or are you here just to be jealous?"

"Hmph~"

Seeing his hesitant expression, Wang Xifeng seemed to have suffered a great injustice, and was a little shaken by her own guess, so she snorted coldly and returned to the topic again: "Then let's get down to business, what are you..."

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside. Wang Xifeng subconsciously stopped talking. Not long after, she heard someone report from outside, saying that Rongguo Mansion had sent someone and wanted to ask the master to come over immediately.

Before the words were spoken outside, Wang Xifeng locked eyes with Jiao Shun with stern eyes, ready to pounce on Jiao Shun if they disagreed with him.

Jiao Shun secretly had a headache, and was worried that Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue would also come to cause trouble, so he had to agree to go to Rongguo's mansion. The worst he could do was to be beaten to death and unable to help.

So he went back to the backyard first, told Shi Xiangyun and others the whole story, and told them not to worry about him, and then followed Wang Xifeng back home.

Since they were riding in separate carriages, there was no conversation along the way.

When it was already the time to turn on the lanterns in the Rongguo Mansion, Jiao Shun followed the steward on duty and walked to the front of the Rongxi Hall. He saw that the hall was as bright as day, with Wang Ren, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian lined up on the left and right, and Jia Zheng sitting at the top.

On the main seat, next to him was Jia Yucun, whom he hadn't seen for a while.

As soon as Jiao Shun entered, everyone stood up to greet him.

"I've met Uncle Shi."

Jiao Shun first saluted Jia Zheng, and then bowed to the others.

After the guests and hosts sat down politely, he turned his attention to Wang Ren. He was about to speak and ask the person involved to introduce the latest situation to him, but he heard Jia Yucun take the initiative to speak: "Brother Xian, have you ever seen it?

Transcribed memorial?"

"This has never happened."

Jiao Shun shook his head.

Jia Yucun picked up a few pages of paper from the coffee table and personally handed them to Jiao Shun, indicating that he should read them first before talking about anything else.

Jiao Shun quickly read through it first, then frowned, glanced at Wang Ren, and Wang Xifeng, who had stood behind Jia Lian at some point, and said displeasedly: "Why is the content here different from what I knew before?"

?”

According to the memorial, the escaped lieutenant was actually a confidant of Wang Ziteng and was related by marriage to the Wang family. This makes sense since Wang Ziteng was initially willing to cover up his crimes.

But because of this, his behavior can be said to be even more sinful.

This is not all the information that the Wang family has concealed. The memorial also revealed that the battleship stolen by the deputy general was actually one of the only two remaining flagships of the Guangdong and Guangxi Navy. It can be regarded as the current face of the Guangdong and Guangxi Navy.

This way, the guilt is increased by three points.

Furthermore, the attacks on merchant ships are likely to be far more than this one. According to official statistics, in just the past two or three months, several merchant ships have mysteriously disappeared on their way home.

And it is said that the cause of the incident was because the Wang family made a lot of money from the maritime trade business. In order to avoid being too ostentatious, they chose to unload the ships quietly at the military port. However, this aroused the greed of the generals and even triggered

A series of vicious events followed.

To be honest, Jiao Shun couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he saw this. After all, he was the one who initiated the sea trade.

wrong!

He only recruited Wang Xifeng and Ning Guofu to join the gang, but he didn't let her act under the banner of the Wang family - well, maybe not, right?

Just when Jiao Shun was a little unsure about his memory, Wang Ren across from him gave a wry smile and said gloomily: "Unless I intentionally deceive my dear brother, I didn't learn some of the details until today."

When Wang Xifeng heard what he said, she became suspicious, so she walked around behind Jiao Shun and asked for the manuscript to look at it carefully - she could read the account book, so she was naturally literate, but she was only literate, like Lin Daiyu and others.

Compared with talented women, they seem vulgar and uncivilized.

After discovering the discrepancy, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but feel annoyed. She had been happy with the patronage before and didn't think much about it. Now that she recalled it, Wang Ren was a real pretense, and she and Rong Guofu were used as pawns by her parents' family to confuse each other.

?

If it weren't for being a close relative by blood and her trump card for bossing around in the Rongguo Mansion, with her temper, she would have given up her choice long ago.

On the other side, Jiao Shun waited for her to read it calmly, then shook his head with a stern face and said: "The Taiwei's behavior clearly means that he can't trust me - if it's just to change things in private, if I don't know, I'll run away."

If you go to your Majesty and tell the truth, won't you be guilty of deceiving your Majesty?!"

When Wang Ren was questioned, he was speechless for a moment.

Jia Zheng was also quite unhappy in his position of chief. He had been running around for the Wang family a lot these days. Although he had little effect, he was still very enthusiastic. However, he was used as a pawn by his uncle.

If it weren't for the fact that the Wang family and the Rongguo family were always close, he might have given up the fight.

As for Jia Lian and Jia Zhen, both of them had an attitude of not caring about their own affairs.

Therefore, in the face of Jiao Shun's questioning, Rongxi Hall fell into a dead silence, with no one even trying to excuse himself.

When Jiao Shun saw this, he immediately felt reassured.

Since Wang Ziteng had deceived him, it was only natural that he would not dare to help rashly anymore.

So he did not continue to delve deeper, but curiously asked the doubts in his heart: "Didn't you say that Mr. Taiwei had something to kill them? Why did they reveal the matter just after they said they wanted to negotiate peace? Could it be that they

Aren’t you afraid that the fish will die and the net will break?”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on Jia Yucun.

Jiao Shun couldn't help but be surprised, what does this have to do with Jia Yucun?

Jia Yucun coughed lightly and said slowly: "Actually, this matter may not have been brought about by those over there - those two censors who have always been neither party nor group, and they are not from Zhejiang and Zhejiang."

.”

When Jiao Shun heard this, why didn't he understand?

Previously, he only thought that Jia Yucun, like himself, was invited to help by Jia Zheng, but now it seems that he has another identity - a lobbyist, envoy, or middleman for the officials and merchants of Zhejiang and Zhejiang.

After thinking about this section, Jiao raised his arms and said, "Brother Yucun really has a wide circle of friends."

Seeing that he had pointed it out, Jia Yucun didn't hide it. He just smiled and shook his head and said: "I can't help but spread the word, but for the specific action, I must be Wei Taiwei, clan uncle, and you, the virtuous brother.

Follow the horse's lead."

After a pause, he further explained: "The people over there insist that this is someone who wants to make a profit, and to prove his innocence, they are willing to do their best to excuse Mr. Taiwei."

Jiao Shun sneered when he heard this: "What about the premise? Do you want the Lieutenant to keep his mouth shut and never expose them?"

"this……"

Jia Yucun smiled and said nothing.

Jiao Shun turned his eyes to Jia Zheng, who had never spoken, and said with a cupped hand: "Uncle Shi, I'm afraid we can't make the decision on this matter, so we should wait for Mr. Taiwei..."

"But how can it be delayed in the current situation?!"

Wang Xifeng suddenly interrupted: "If we wait for the news to come back from the south, I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold!"

"That's right."

Jiao Shun took advantage of the situation and took back the copy of the memorial from her hand. He shook his head and said to everyone: "But who knows what the Taiwei has to worry about in private? If there is another mistake, let's just get ourselves into it and pay it back.

What should we do if the plan of Lord Taiwei is spoiled?"

You should listen to this in reverse, at least everyone here is more concerned about whether they will fall into it, rather than whether it will ruin Wang Ziteng's plan.

Even Wang Xifeng was silent for a while. After all, she also knew that Jiao Shun would never risk her future for the Wang family.

So after a long while, Jia Zheng stood up and said: "In that case, let's arrange for someone to report to Guangdong and Guangdong urgently and see how Brother Ziteng decides."

With that said, he invited Jiao Shun and Jia Yucun to have a drink in his courtyard.

As for Wang Ren, although he was considered a guest, he was not invited.

Jiao Shun originally thought that he should not stay in the land of right and wrong for a long time, but he couldn't resist Jia Zheng. Jia Yucun invited him again and again, and his words just now were considered to have temporarily put an end to the Wang family's thoughts.

So he followed the depressed Jia Zheng to the backyard and drank until the third watch before he was able to escape.

Now he did not dare to spend the night in Rongguo Mansion at will, so no matter how Jia Zheng and others tried to persuade him, he still insisted on going back home.

But when he left, one person in the Grand View Garden was surprised.

Qingtang thatched cottage.

"How did he..."

Mrs. Wang subconsciously stood up, stopped talking in time, and then waved away a few colorful clouds.

Then she went into the Buddhist hall by herself, stuffed the dark cloak she had prepared long ago back into the closet, pulled out a note from it, looked at the content on it and murmured to herself: "Since you said you are inviting me,

We went over to discuss the Wang family’s affairs, but why didn’t he stay and instead just left?”

But it turned out that the content of the note was to invite her to a private meeting in the guest house in the name of Jiao Shun.

And this note was sent in an envelope in the name of discussing matters at the car factory.

Mrs. Wang didn't notice anything wrong before, but now that she thought about it carefully, it seemed that between the two of them, she had always taken the initiative to contact Jiao Shun, and this was the first time that Jiao Shun contacted her.

In addition, Qian Jiao Shun left without hesitation even though he had already made a date...

The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more panicked she became. Could it be that someone had noticed something, so she deliberately designed to catch the traitor?!

Then who could it be?

Jia Zheng?

It's impossible. He had doubted himself and Jiao Shun at the beginning. If he wanted to use this method to verify, he should have used it two years ago, so why did he wait until today?

Who could it be?

Could it be Li Wan, the eldest daughter-in-law? Or maybe the girl in the garden did it?!

It can’t be a gem, right?!

She was anxious and suspicious of each other, but she only ignored Tan Chun and Wang Xifeng. After all, these two people had more leverage on her, so logically speaking, even if she wanted to take advantage of her, there was no need to do anything more.
