The main reason why Prince Zhongshun was wary of the influence of a young man named Jia Cong was because not long ago, a certain salt merchant in Yangzhou collapsed.
As the house of this well-known salt merchant was confiscated, the official responsible for the confiscation did not dare to arbitrarily engulf him under the spotlight, directly revealing his wealth of more than five million taels.
At this moment, the court in the capital was shaken!
You must know that the salt merchant who confiscated his house was only ranked in the middle of the pack among the big salt merchants in Yangzhou, and could not be considered top at all.
But even so, the discovery of five million yuan from this guy's family still shocked all the dignitaries who paid attention.
Then, there was even more terrifying greed. The other Yangzhou salt merchants were in danger and tried their best to protect themselves.
But they didn't know that the more they struggled, the more exposed they became, and the officials involved would not end well, let alone the extremely wealthy salt merchants themselves.
Prince Zhongshun saw this, but was shocked in his heart.
What caused panic among the Yangzhou salt merchants was a book called "The Richest Man in the World" written by Jia Cong!
It can be seen that what this boy wrote is very powerful.
Wasn't he himself also trapped in a detective book?
Now he is in an embarrassing situation. He can only rely on his decadent performance of eating, drinking and having fun in exchange for not ruthlessly killing him now. I am so depressed that my grandma's house is so depressed.
In addition, I don’t know where this kid Jia Cong got his luck. He actually met Si Ding, the Crown Prince of Chu, and became good friends.
This is another place where Prince Zhongshun is afraid and throws himself into fear.
The King of Chu, a great lord, had a very aloof status in the royal family, not comparable to that of Prince Zhongshun. He did not have the guts to set up such a powerful enemy as the King of Chu when he was in a difficult situation.
After pondering over and over again, he finally found to his dismay that there was nothing he could do to target a white-haired boy.
"Your Majesty, it's difficult to deal with Jia Cong's son at the moment, why don't you target Rongguo Mansion?"
The palace staff naturally wanted to help Prince Zhongshun solve his problems and immediately made suggestions.
"Aiming at Rongguo Mansion?"
Prince Zhongshun was stunned and said with some uncertainty: "It doesn't seem to be easy to target, right?"
"Your Majesty, there are a lot of bad things going on in Rongguo Mansion. It's too easy to find fault!"
"However, Rong Guofu is a member of the Four Kings and Eight Gongs. If he is deliberately targeted, it is likely to cause a strong backlash from the Xungui Group!"
When Prince Zhongshun said this, his face was full of depression and helplessness.
He is in a bad situation right now, and he really doesn't have the guts to go against the Xungui Group. If he doesn't make a mistake, he may end the game immediately.
He was unhappy with the return of Rongguo Mansion, but he had no intention of involving himself in it.
"Your Majesty has misunderstood, we can ruin the reputation of Rongguo Mansion first!"
The staff sneered and said: "Those servants in Rongguo Mansion are very arrogant outside. If you check them, you will find clues!"
"As long as you make a fuss specifically about the unscrupulous behavior of the people of Rongguo Mansion outside, you won't be afraid that Rongguo Mansion's reputation will not be bad!"
"Once the reputation is bad, who would want to hang out with Rong Guofu?"
Having said this, the staff sneered and said: "It would be much easier to deal with Rongguo Mansion alone!"
"Without the protection of Rongguo Mansion, no matter how powerful Jia Cong is, he still can't withstand the prince's random tricks. Isn't it easy to vent his anger?"
Prince Zhongshun nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and with the last slap in the face, he decided happily: First, he would catch the subordinates of Rongguo Mansion and ruin the reputation of Rongguo Mansion!
…
Jia Cong and Lian Er quietly returned to Beijing, and did not cause the slightest disturbance when they returned to the mansion.
I can only say one thing, the old lady is really awesome!
Ignore it, ignore it. No matter how promising the current market situation of Chain 2 is, I have no intention of changing my attitude at all.
You are the oldest and you are awesome!
Lian Er, who had broadened his horizons outside, felt a little disappointed, but did not say much. However, after returning to the Yamen to cancel his leave, he significantly reduced the number of appearances at Rongqing Hall.
Only Feng Lazi couldn't see the situation clearly, or in other words, he didn't take Lian Er's feelings seriously, and still went his own way and was obsessed with the pursuit of power in the inner house.
Hear, just hear...
Lian Er became more and more indifferent towards Feng La Zi, which made Feng La Zi suspicious, thinking that Lian Er had someone outside.
Although there was no fuss, he was still very angry and took the opportunity to deal with several careless internal servants.
For a time, the reputation of the 'Tigress' became very popular in the house.
"You little girl, what do you do asking about all this all day long?"
In the remote courtyard of the General's Mansion, after listening to the little maid's gossip, Jia Cong laughed angrily and said: "If you have that free time, why not read more books!"
After being away for two months, I found that the little maid was slacking off when she came back. It was obvious that she had not been obedient, studied hard and made progress.
"I'm a little maid, why do I read so many books?"
After getting used to it, the little maid Lingque had the courage to retort plausibly: "You can't take part in the imperial examination, and you have no other use for it. Oh, Master, don't be the first!"
Jia Cong retracted his palm and said with a smile: "Master, I am surrounded by educated people now. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if people knew that there is an illiterate maid?"
The little maid made a face and ran away with a smile, but she didn't have the courage to accept such words, otherwise she would suffer in the future.
Jia Cong chuckled contentedly, he was indeed comfortable at home.
Although the scenery outside completely disappeared after arriving at the mansion, he still wanted to live a low-key and relaxed life instead of being passionate and heroic all day long. It was really unbearable.
By the way, Lian Er's return home was still a bit of a stir, but his return was really quiet.
That is to say, there was some reaction from the big house, but the old lady simply ignored it.
In this regard, Jia Cong is more open-minded than Lian Er.
As people get older, they always have their own likes and preferences. The old lady has doted on the phoenix egg for many years, and she can't just let it go.
Besides, Phoenix Egg's ability to put down his face to please and behave in front of his elders is indeed very popular with the elders.
The old lady has been in charge of the Rongguo Mansion for many years, and she has long been accustomed to being the only one in her power. She does not care about the changes outside at all.
Lian Er may be a little jealous and disappointed, but Jia Cong doesn't pay attention at all.
Since he had no worries, he naturally took an open mind and didn't pay much attention to various things in the house.
He likes the tranquility of staying in the small courtyard where he lives. He can let go of everything in his heart and quietly appreciate the peaceful joy of complete relaxation.
Ridiculing and amusing the little maid has become the spice in a peaceful life.
"Third Young Master, you are too spoiled to this little girl Lingque!"
The nanny on the side, Ms. Li, was a little disdainful, or maybe she was jealous.
It's not that the little maid Lingque has taken her position, but she is quite envious of the little maid's quality of life.
Thinking back to those days, Jia Cong was too young, and he was still a transparent person in the general's palace. His life depended on the little money he earned each month. There was no other way to make money, and his life was miserable.
Fortunately, Mr. Li had a good heart and was able to endure hardships, so he pulled Jia Cong along.
As a result, Jia Cong rose rapidly as he got older. At least he had a place in the general's palace. Both his status and money were much more than before.
At this time, the little maid Ling Que came over, and life was really not that comfortable.
Because she is the only maid around Jia Cong, she can also follow Jia Cong to the main courtyard to eat and drink, so her life should not be too smooth.
In addition, Jia Cong has a kind temper and doesn't have the urinary temperament of a young master. It can be said that the living environment of the little maid Lingque is quite favorable.
Mrs. Li was naturally a little unhappy, and even planned to drive away the little maid and replace her with her niece.
Of course, she was still rational and did not take action.
However, daily beating is indispensable.
Jia Cong naturally didn't know the nanny's little thoughts, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.
After returning home, he didn't go anywhere. He stayed in the small courtyard where he lived for three full days before Shi Shiran went out and went to Huiyou Bookstore.
"You are really hard to find!"
In the side hall of the bookstore next to the bookstore, Si Ding, the crown prince of Chu, had a smile on his face, but looked at Jia Cong with a somewhat unkind look.
He had been waiting for a long time. Who would have thought that Jia Cong would stay in the mansion for several days before going out. He didn't know what was worth missing in Rongguo Mansion.
"Haha, brother Chunran, don't be surprised!"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "I just came back from a long trip, so I naturally need to take a good rest. Otherwise, if Brother Chunran sees my haggard look, I probably won't be in the mood to talk about anything serious!"
"You have so many lies!"
Si Ding pointed at Jia Cong and said angrily: "Don't think I don't know the good things your kid did in Xishan!"
"Conscience of heaven and earth, I didn't do anything bad in Xishan!"
Jia Cong refused and said reluctantly: "Brother Chunran, tell me, what did I do to make Brother Chunran think this way?"
"Haha, I heard that your boy has destroyed all the martial arts schools in Jinyang?"
Si Ding was not polite and scolded directly: "It's so lively, why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could rush in time to watch the fun!"
"Isn't that just fun? It's a serious discussion and exchange!"
Jia Cong's face darkened and he said amusedly: "Besides, Jinyang is not close to the capital. I'm afraid the King of Chu won't let you leave!"
"Then do you have any ideas to challenge the martial arts gyms in the capital and those famous martial arts celebrities?"
Si Ding changed the topic and said with a smile: "When the time comes, can't I just watch the excitement?"
Jia Cong couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, thinking that kicking the gym with you is just a game.
"Also, based on what I know about you, I should write a book based on challenging martial arts celebrities and exchanging ideas. Where is the manuscript?"
Si Ding's face was full of affirmation and he reached out to ask for the manuscript.
"I really didn't write it this time!"
Jia Cong was so sweaty that he said angrily: "If I really write all this in, I won't offend all the famous martial arts figures in Jinyang to death!"
"I thought you were completely lost, but you still know that what you wrote has offended countless people!"
Si Ding rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I have a message for you, kid. Don't write anything that exposes the bad side of officialdom and the people. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, you may not be able to bear it.
!”
Although Si Ding said this teasingly, Jia Cong saw something in his eyes...
