Wang Ziteng's words shocked Jia Cong, and he immediately understood the possible real purpose of this guy.
Damn, this guy is really deep.
This time he was called by name to speak to the Wang family, probably because of the new book "The Richest Man in the World", but I don't know what the purpose of this guy is?
What he said is not unreasonable. The description of the Yangzhou salt merchants in the novel "The Richest Man in the World" is too detailed, and it is difficult for anyone to avoid doubting it.
Coincidentally, Lin Ruhai is the uncle of the author "San Shao Cong", and he has just left the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor. No one knows whether this person is unwilling to accept it, so he vents his depression in the hands of his nephew?
Some of the court officials knew how Lin Ruhai was transferred out of Yangzhou, but they didn't know that Lin Ruhai's position as inspector of salt inspection was like a scourge.
Putting themselves in their shoes, they naturally felt that it was not impossible for Lin Ruhai to have resentment and explode it through the new novel of "Cong San Shao".
The conscience of heaven and earth, the new book was Jia Cong’s idea from beginning to end.
"Hehe, you are still too young and don't know the dangers of officialdom!"
Seeing that Jia Cong, who had always been calm, was shocked, Wang Ziteng's eyebrows were soothing and he sneered: "Looking at the pace of your new book, I'm afraid it will soon involve the core areas of Yangzhou Yanzheng Yamen. If it weren't for Lin Shilang
Tell me, how could you, a white boy, know this?"
"That's the information I proactively solicited from Uncle Lin!"
"Will others believe it?"
"this……"
Jia Cong left Wang's house with a depressed look on his face. When he left the street where Wang's house was located, the expression on his face suddenly changed. How could he be calm and calm without feeling depressed just now?
hehe……
Although he seemed to be frightened by Wang Ziteng just now, that was not the case at all.
It's just alarmist talk. Didn't Lin Ruhai and Jia Cong know this on the boat returning to the capital from Yangzhou?
How can it be!
However, Lin Ruhai was no longer the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor, nor was he unlucky because of the salt administration. On the contrary, he went one step further and became the Minister of Rites.
Under such circumstances, as long as Jia Cong's novels do not mention names by name and include official positions, it doesn't matter if it offends some people.
Again, this is the capital, not Jiangnan!
Even in the south of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou salt merchants cannot be the only one, let alone in the capital city.
Lin Ruhai has been a salt patrol censor for five years and knows the inside story very well.
Those who should be offended have already been offended, whether there are Jia Cong's novels or not.
On the contrary, Jia Cong's novel directly lifts the table, but it will make some people throw themselves into fear. There are too many forces coveting salt profits and they are too powerful. Just dealing with these existences is enough to give the salt merchants and the big guys behind them a headache.
As for the trouble of finding Jia Cong and even Lin Ruhai?
Is this a real move to control salt profits and make huge profits?
As for why Wang Ziteng threatened him with words?
Maybe it was entrusted by someone, or maybe there were interests demands?
No matter what, if you want Jia Cong to stop promoting and publishing new books, stop dreaming.
The reason why I behaved "unbearably" in front of Wang Ziteng was because I didn't want to attract this guy's attention too much. It would be better not to interact with him in the future unless necessary.
When he returned to the house, he immediately reported to the eldest master and recounted his experience in the Wang family. Finally, he pretended to be curious and asked: "Master, I don't know what Wang Shishu's beating means?"
By the way, Wang Ziteng is indeed a veteran in officialdom. He told Jia Cong a lot of useful information, but in the end he did not ask him what to do, nor did he have a clear attitude towards the novel "The Richest Man in the World".
No, the elder is also confused...
"Why do you care so much about him?"
If you don't understand, then just don't think about it. The elder said impatiently: "Just do whatever you have to do. Don't let him fool you!"
"But it seems that Uncle Wang Shi is not very satisfied with my novel..."
"So what if you're not satisfied? Could it be that he still wants to interfere with your writing of a novel for fun? Will he have to interfere in the internal affairs of the Rongguo Mansion in the future?"
Jia Cong suddenly stopped talking. As long as the eldest master expresses his position, even if the prince is unhappy, it will not be his turn to bear the anger.
After leaving the main courtyard of the General's Mansion, he went to the Rongqing Hall to report without stopping. The old lady just listened and said nothing.
After Jia Cong was sent away, Yuanyang came in and quietly told the old lady some information, which was exactly the conversation between Jia Cong and the old man before.
"Since there's nothing to do, forget it!"
The old lady sighed and said leisurely: "No matter what Wang Ziteng wants to do, it is not his turn to interfere in the internal affairs of the Rongguo Mansion!"
Surprisingly, the old lady and the eldest man had the same idea. They were quite unhappy with Wang Ziteng, but they just didn't want to offend anyone in vain.
But if Wang Ziteng dares to push further, Rong Guofu will not be a soft persimmon!
…
I originally thought that this would be the end of the matter.
I just never expected that the turnaround would come so suddenly.
"Brother Chunyang, are you sure?"
In the side hall of Huiyou Bookstore, Jia Cong opened his eyes wide and looked in disbelief, and his heart was filled with emotions that made him laugh or cry.
Damn it, he never expected that such a weird thing would happen.
"certainly!"
Si Ding, the Crown Prince of Chu, also had a rather strange expression on his face. He looked like he wanted to laugh but was trying to hold it back, which made him feel uncomfortable just looking at him.
"Just laugh if you want, it's not me who is unlucky!"
Rolling his eyes, Jia Cong said angrily: "Don't look sympathetic. Although the four major families in Jinling are in the same spirit, they haven't really become a family yet!"
"Hahaha……"
Si Ding could no longer hold it in, holding his stomach and laughing wildly, even tears came out of his eyes, which showed the joy in his heart.
No wonder he was like this, even Jia Cong had the urge to laugh at this moment.
He never expected that the revenge he was waiting for carefully would be taken by Wang Ziteng. Is this the legendary scapegoat?
That's right, Si Ding, the crown prince of King Chu, had just told him the news he had found out. The novel "The Richest Man in the World" did indeed cause some people to feel uneasy and angry, but they vented their anger on Wang Ziteng.
According to Si Ding, these guys believed that Wang Ziteng was the final mastermind. Who asked him to come back at such a coincidental time, and he was truly the leader of the four major families in Jinling, so he could only call himself unlucky if he was suspected.
After all, Jia Cong is a descendant of the Rongguo Mansion. The novel "The Richest Man in the World" is very targeted. Some beings naturally thought too much and thought it was the interest group of the Four Great Jinling Families and launched an attack on them.
Woolen cloth.
Although fighting in the mode of a novel may seem a bit ridiculous, some beings are too sensitive to be aggrieved...
