First impeached and then assassinated, the elder is in trouble.
The key is that it's hard even to guess who is behind the scenes. Because of the huge benefits of the North City reconstruction project, the elder has offended a lot of people recently.
It may even be that some guys who showed no signs of hostility secretly took action to stir up trouble and add fuel to the fire. There were so many entanglements that no one could guess who was responsible.
Even so, the eldest master was attacked in the Beicheng area, which still caused an uproar in the court.
This is the capital!
The most benevolent place under the emperor's feet, the dignified commander of the North City Army and Horses Division was assassinated in the area under his jurisdiction. It is simply unbelievable. Is there any law of heaven or king's law?
Several big bosses in the cabinet were furious and ordered the relevant yamen to conduct strict investigations. No matter who was involved and how powerful they were, they would be severely punished without mercy.
It's okay to quarrel with officials, but killing someone would cross the line. Officials from any faction would be intolerable, and no one would be happy that the same thing might happen to them in the future.
The identities of the assassins have been found out. Both of them are wanted criminals who have been on the run for many years. They are very skilled in martial arts. The officials next to them are not as strong as the elder, who can calmly face the assassins' counterattack.
The great master's martial arts also impressed the court officials with admiration. After hearing the news, every one of them could not help but admire him. He was truly worthy of being a general.
Well, the efforts of the late Duke Jia Daishan to change the family style completely failed after the eldest master showed his strong martial arts.
The nature of the assassination was so egregious that even though the eldest man was only a minor official of the sixth rank, the incident not only alarmed the cabinet bosses, but also the present generation.
"You are so bold, you dare to assassinate the imperial officials so wantonly in the capital. It seems that Shu Xin has been living for too long, and some people are so bold that they have no limit!"
There was no mention of the Grand Master today, but the words coming out of the Qianqing Palace made the atmosphere in the court tense, and the cabinet put pressure on the assassin to intercept and kill the Grand Master.
Fortunately, the important ministers in the court and Jin Jin worked together to hide the truth from the Supreme Emperor, otherwise we don't know what trouble would have occurred.
Even today, the assassination of the elder caused a huge commotion in the court, but the elder involved remained calm, doing whatever he was supposed to do every day as if nothing had happened, and was not affected at all.
Of course, it would be funny to ask a majestic Grandmaster of the highest level of Dan Bao to worry about his own safety in the world of Red Mansions. At least the Grand Master has never seen a master who can match his strength.
For some reason, the world of Red Mansions gave the elder a very bad feeling. It seemed that the force value of this world was suppressed and it was difficult to get ahead. I don’t know what was going on.
The assassination shocked even the imperial court and today, and the Rongguo Mansion was naturally in a panic.
"It's too dangerous. Who can be so cruel and cruel?"
Mother Jia looked scared and said that although she didn't want to see the old man, she didn't want him to receive a box lunch.
Not only because the existence of the elder can balance the power in the mansion, but after more than half a year of observation, Jia Mu had to admit that the elder was the hope for Rongguo mansion to rise again.
"When there are interests, there are disputes. Some people are used to being self-centered and extreme in their behavior. They will resort to extreme measures whenever something they don't like happens. They really don't know how to live or die!"
The old man is there, and he makes clear and reasonable comments, as if the victim is not him.
Jia Mu opened her mouth, but in the end she still didn't say what she had been holding in her heart for many days.
In fact, after the first phase of the North City Renovation Plan was completed, it was sold for a rather astonishing price. Some forces wanted to get a share of the pie and set their sights on Rongguo Mansion.
In recent days, Jia Mu has received several descendants of old sisters, and she has also received letters from old sisters asking for help. Although she has no personal guarantee, she is determined to ask for help from the elder.
As a result, before she even opened her mouth, the news came that the elder had been assassinated. She was so panicked that she couldn't care about it. Now that the elder mentioned the incident in Beicheng, Jia Mu thought of the old sisters' request again, and hesitated for a moment as to whether she should say it or not.
"Brother, it's better to be less involved in such a dangerous matter. Wouldn't it be better to find a way to escape from Beicheng Bingma Division and find another yamen?"
Jia Zheng, who was sitting next to him, spoke seriously, with such an awe-inspiring and righteous look that people thought that the second master Zheng was really doing it for the sake of the elder master.
"Is this something I can handle?"
The elder sneered and said angrily: "The imperial court has its own laws. Let's just talk in the palace as small talk. Don't talk nonsense outside, otherwise you will be laughed at. If you are ginseng,
If you are accused of making irresponsible remarks about government affairs, you will not be able to bear the burden and walk away with it!"
Mr. Zheng Er's face suddenly turned red and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
But the elder had a look of disdain on his face. He really thought that no one else could guess Ya's hidden thoughts.
Speaking of which, the second couple are also weird, one is a prude and the other is obsessed with money. Mrs. Wang is keen on the benefits of Beicheng New District, and through Lian Er’s relationship, she bought five connected commercial and residential houses in one go, thinking that the eldest man doesn’t know.
What?
What’s even more funny is that Mrs. Wang just bought a house secretly. Who has become an official and hasn’t taken care of his family?
But Mrs. Wang was so tight that she didn't want to give up the money and planned to use it for free. Through her niece Wang Xifeng, she wanted Lian Er to put the house in her name first, and then pay the money in full later when she had more money.
This kind of empty-handed approach is simply an insult to Lian Er's IQ. It is a transaction involving tens of thousands of taels of silver. How could he dare to interfere in the middle? He has always been worried that Yu Shiyanguan would catch him for his mistakes, so how could he take the initiative?
Deliver handles to your door?
Because of this matter, Mrs. Wang often complained to Wang Xifeng in private, saying that Lian Er was wrong, as if it was a huge sin not to let her take advantage in vain.
Fortunately, Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang only had a face-to-face relationship and did not use this to cause a fight with Lian Er. However, she was also triggered by Mrs. Wang's actions and had some inappropriate thoughts, and wanted to use Mrs. Wang's methods to gain some benefits for herself.
Lian Er was so shocked that he hurriedly stopped Feng Lazi's suicide attempt, and earnestly persuaded her not to be so reckless. His future was at stake and his future should not be compromised here. It was not easy to persuade Feng Lazi.
For this reason, Lian Er went to the elder to complain to the elder, but the elder rudely replied: You are the one you want to marry, and you are responsible for everything she does. There is no point in asking me!
Gossip aside, isn't Jia Zheng jealous of the great master's reputation and wants to take advantage of the assassination to persuade him to give in? Are you kidding me?
Most of the eldest master's plan has been completed, and now it's time to reap the fruits of victory. Not to mention Jia Zheng, even the sudden appearance of the ancestral spirit of Ning Rong's Second Duke can't stop his career path.
It's not that he cares about official position or so-called power, but what he wants to do cannot be accomplished without enough power to back it up.
Mr. Zheng Er was very embarrassed by being pushed against him, but Jia Mu did not help him at this moment. She looked calm as if what just happened had not happened.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. A little girl stuck her head in the door and waved to Yuanyang, her little face full of eagerness.
Yuanyang whispered to Jia Mu in a low voice, and then went out slowly. After muttering with the little girl for a while, he suddenly walked in with a pale face and whispered a few words in Jia Mu's ear.
"What, Lian'er was almost hit by a frightened carriage?"
Jia Mu suddenly opened her eyes and exclaimed: "Is he okay?"
Yuanyang hurriedly replied: "Old lady, Mr. Lian is fine. He was just frightened and a little bit panicked. He just returned to the house and asked the imperial doctor to come over to investigate!"
"Quick, quick, quick, I want to see with my own eyes whether Lian'er is injured!"
The look on Jia Mu's face softened, but she couldn't sit still and hurriedly stood up. She turned around and said angrily to the old man who was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai: "Boss, even if Lian'er is frightened, you, the boss, are not worried!"
"Isn't it hurt?"
The elder stood up, but he was not polite at all: "I'm not hurt. If you can't stand such a thing, don't hang out in the officialdom in the future!"
Jia Zheng looked confused. As a 'filial son', he naturally had to act in line with Jia's mother, although he might not be happy in his heart.
"What, boss, is he suspecting that someone did it deliberately?"
Mother Jia slowed down her steps, a look of ferocity appeared on her well-maintained face, and she said in a cold voice, "You are so brave. What does the person behind you think of Rongguo Mansion? Is he a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others?"
As expected, the old lady saw clearly, and her political acumen was much stronger than that of the old man who was still confused until now.
If things like this continue to develop, outsiders will only think that Rongguo Mansion is easy to bully, and when the time comes, all kinds of trouble will arise, which will be disadvantageous to Rongguo Mansion.
After taking a quick look at Lian Er, who looked panicked but was not injured, Jia's mother was quickly persuaded to go back to Rongqing Hall to rest. Jia Zheng said a few dry words and left, while the elder stayed behind to analyze this time with Lian Er.
of accidents.
"If I find out who the Thousand Sword Killer did this, I'll have to skin him!"
Wang Xifeng's pretty face was sullen, and she lost her usual sharpness and ability. While holding the An Shen Soup that exuded a strong medicinal smell, she kept cursing.
She was also frightened. If something happened to Lian Er, Wang Xifeng, who had not yet given birth to a blood offspring, would definitely not end well. Whenever she thought of the terrible consequences, she hated the mastermind who wanted to harm Lian Er.
"Okay, just scolding is of no use, the key is to be strong yourself!"
The elder waved his hand and said impatiently: "The key now is to figure out who did it and find a way to fight back hard. Do you really think Rongguo Mansion is easy to bully?"
"Father, thanks to the guards you sent this time, otherwise my son would have been disabled this time, even if he had not died!"
Lian Er's face was pale and he was obviously shocked. Under the urging of the elder, he briefly recounted what happened.
To put it bluntly, Lian Er was involved in an ancient version of a man-made 'car accident'. Fortunately, the guards around him responded in time and rescued him from danger, otherwise the situation would have been very bad.
"That's too much!"
The old man's face was as dark as water, but his heart was angry...
