Faced with the elder's unceremonious warning, Jia Cong was speechless for a while.
If my soul hadn't been attached to Jia Cong, you think I would be willing to communicate with you, a bad-tempered otaku like you?
He didn't rush to explain, he just glanced at the beautiful concubine next to him, and his meaning was quite obvious.
After all, he was already familiar with it, and he didn't take the old man's habitual threats to heart at all.
When he first arrived, he might have been a little wary. After all, he was the biological father of the body and could not be beaten or scolded. Unless he wanted to return directly to the main world, he would have to act honestly according to the rules of this world.
In the feudal era with strict etiquette and laws, the fate of being an outlier was usually not very good.
Jia Cong is only ten years old now, which is about the same age as the main world. He still wants to continue to accumulate experience in practicing martial arts and absorb more popularity into luck.
Therefore, let's not talk about relying on strong force and ignoring etiquette. If you want to live happily and comfortably in Daqing, you must abide by etiquette on the surface.
As for your private attitude, as long as no one catches you, that's fine.
"Get out, get out, all of you!"
Fortunately, the elder now took Jia Cong seriously. Although his words were unpleasant, he still waved the wives out of the room.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Sir, the Crown Prince of Chu reminded me earlier that Uncle Wang Shi has begun to fight back!"
"Oh, did Wang Ziteng finally fight back? How is the situation?"
The old man was interested, and he didn't feel depressed at all about being marginalized. He smiled and said, "Is it because a dog bites a dog?"
"That's not the case!"
Jia Cong was a little dumbfounded and said helplessly: "I heard from the Prince of Chu that Wang Shishu turned his attention to Yangzhou's salt administration, and the important ministers there immediately shut down!"
Ah!
There was undisguised disdain on the elder's face, and he said disdainfully: "Those civil servants are just like that. They pretend to be saints on the surface, but in private they are male thieves and female prostitutes?"
As he said that, he couldn't help but chuckle, and said with a smile: "Your book must have played a big role too!"
I have briefly watched the full version of "The Richest Man in the World", but I know how exciting the plot behind it is. The plot currently circulating outside is just an appetizer. I'm afraid there will be trouble when the subsequent plot comes out.
But he didn't care at all, and he didn't care at all. Anyway, it didn't involve the Rongguo Mansion, or he himself, so there weren't many opportunities to see the excitement of the big shots in the court.
After saying this, Jia Cong said goodbye and left without telling him that he was intercepted halfway and almost got into a fight.
I was afraid that the eldest man would be frightened, as he was completely destitute, and his first reaction was probably not to stand up for Jia Cong, but to ask Jia Cong to stop for fear of being implicated.
The arrow is already on the string, it's not that easy to take it back!
At least, Wang Ziteng, who was disgusted by the snow of impeachment memorials, would not agree to it in the first place.
In order to avoid trouble in the future, it is better not to disturb the bosses in the house.
Anyway, the big guys are used to staying at home. With the current momentum of Rongguo Mansion, even the cabinet ministers don’t have the guts to come and find trouble. Do you really think that the Xungui Group is a soft persimmon?
…
On the other side, the news of the failure of the operation reached the ears of an important cabinet minister immediately.
"Master, the Prince of Chu is in charge of the Huiyou Bookstore. Our people have no way to use force. We might involve the master!"
The middle-aged man dressed as a butler respectfully reported: "As for the thugs targeting Jia Cong's son, they were unlucky enough to bump into the patrolling troops from the Five Cities Troops and Horses Division, and dispersed without doing anything!"
Reporting such a thing makes me feel quite depressed.
Not to mention the Huiyou Bookstore. I knew that the Prince of Chu was involved, but I just tried it out to see if there was a chance to buy the bookstore.
Even if you don't succeed, there won't be much disappointment.
But the measures against Jia Cong's kid were unsuccessful, which made the housekeeper very depressed. He didn't know why the kid was so lucky?
"waste!"
A certain important cabinet minister uttered two words coldly, ignored the frightened housekeeper, and said angrily: "We have already alerted the snake, and the kid must have been on guard. Don't do anything for now, wait for my instructions!"
After saying that, he waved his hand to drive away the unlucky butler, feeling very depressed.
Who would have expected that just a novel and miscellaneous book circulating in the market would cause such a big stir, and even the court would be involved.
The fight in the court today shocked the cabinet boss!
Isn't this guy Wang Ziteng afraid of triggering a crazy counterattack by a group of Yangzhou salt merchants, which will end up causing harm to both parties and benefiting others?
He dared to expose the Yangzhou Salt Administration in the court. He was simply bragging about the world.
However, the current attitude frightens this cabinet boss, and he does not know what his current thoughts are. The current trend of public opinion must be suppressed.
Otherwise, who knows if the current situation will be overturned and a direct investigation into Yangzhou’s salt policy will be carried out?
Apart from other things, according to the published plot of the novel "The Richest Man in the World", a little investigation can yield a lot.
Damn, this is the biggest headache for the boss. I don’t know how much Lin Ruhai, who provided material for Jia Cong, has revealed, and how much he knows about the filth hidden under the water?
Although the plot in the novel "The Richest Man in the World" is exaggerated, many plots about salt politics are true as far as the boss knows.
This is really giving the boss a headache...
It's a pity that many methods cannot be used in the capital. Too many restrictions and too many dangers. Otherwise, this cabinet boss would have used the most drastic means to solve the problem.
There is no shortage of desperadoes in the hands of Yangzhou salt merchants!
Even in the hands of this cabinet boss and the family behind him, there are secret forces. If they were in Jiangnan, they would have dealt with the troublesome boys Wang Ziteng and Jia Cong long ago.
But in Beijing, you can’t even think about such things!
Even if you have to use unscrupulous and dark methods, you can only do it through gangs in the capital city, and there must be no signs of being implicated in it, otherwise it will be a big deal, and once exposed, there will be no future.
In such a situation, even the official methods are ineffective, and the other party is not a vegetarian. One Wang Ziteng is enough to cause a headache.
He didn't want to offend the Four Kings and Eight Gongs, this top noble group at all. They were the real local gangsters in the capital.
Otherwise, even if Wang Ziteng cannot be defeated for a while, the Huiyou Bookstore, the source of the disaster, must at least be shut down. Without the hateful book "The Richest Man in the World" to guide public opinion, it will be much easier to calm down this setback...
