"That man of yours is a loser. Why was he suddenly taken away by the government?"
In the main hall of the second room, Mrs. Wang looked angry and scolded Zhou Rui's family who was standing next door.
Zhou Rui's family looked frightened, and their hearts were worried and anxious. They were worried about the safety of their men, and they didn't dare to offend Mrs. Wang at this time.
"I heard from the village head present that the gang of officials came very suddenly and didn't even give them a chance to speak and ask questions. They just took the people away and left!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Rui's family also looked depressed and said helplessly: "The head of the village came to the house to report immediately, but he couldn't figure out which yamen the other party belonged to!"
"Didn't you send someone to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen to ask?"
Mrs. Wang said impatiently: "There are other yamen who also sent people to inquire and find out which yamen Zhou Rui was captured by!"
"We're in such a hurry, I'm afraid I won't make it today!"
Zhou Rui's family is also worried, the one who was arrested is her man, but it is already dark now, the capital has implemented a curfew, and although Rongguo Mansion's reputation is not small, it is not enough to start a war.
Those censors are not vegetarians. If the Rongguo Mansion is involved in this matter, even Mrs. Wang will not be able to afford it.
Maybe, the Zhou Rui family will be pushed out as scapegoats.
Precisely because he understood Mrs. Wang's temperament and had Rong Guo Mansion as his backer, although he was anxious, he was not completely confused. As long as he found the yamen where he was arrested, it would be easy to use the power of Rong Guo Mansion to get him.
At most, the men in her family will only suffer a little physical pain.
If something goes wrong with her, the caring person next to the second wife, at this time, then the world will truly fall apart. I don’t know if there will be a chance to turn around.
"If Lian Er is back yet, go and call him and tell him that I have something to tell you!"
Mrs. Wang finally calmed down her anger and ordered in a cold voice: "Let him come as quickly as possible. If something goes wrong, he won't be able to bear it!"
After saying that, he waved his hand to indicate to Zhou Rui's family that they could leave.
When the room returned to peace, she felt weak and closed her eyes.
The incident was too sudden and caught her off guard!
Zhou Rui was in charge of the farm shop for her, and he knew too many things. One wrong move might lead to personal injury. This was not the result that Mrs. Wang wanted to see.
She must save this person, and she must rescue her as soon as possible.
Otherwise, who knows who suddenly came to arrest Zhou Rui, and whether he wants to get information from Zhou Rui?
Mrs. Wang knew that Zhou Rui was a slave and maidservant outside, but she couldn't bear the torture.
If she said something that she shouldn't say, Mrs. Wang would be passive.
Especially in these years, Zhou Rui was the one who quietly sold the Rongguo Mansion in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing at a low price, and also used it as a private house at a very low price.
If such news were to leak out, it would be a huge scandal.
Mrs. Wang's situation in the palace will become very difficult. The most important thing is that it will affect the reputation of the girls in the Wang family and may lead to a falling out with the clan.
Whenever she thinks about the consequences of falling out with the clan, even with Mrs. Wang's ruthless nature, she can't help but feel chills in her heart. Such a bad situation will never be allowed to happen.
The more I thought about it, the more irritated I became, and the more I thought about it, the more worried I became. The originally kind face slowly became distorted and turned into a ferocious ghost.
The maid Jin Chuan standing by was so frightened that she did not dare to hum. She even tried to breathe as slowly as possible to pretend to be transparent. Mrs. Wang at this time was really too ferocious and terrifying.
The atmosphere in the room became extremely depressing and solemn, making it almost difficult to breathe.
…
Lian Er was currently living in the small courtyard, enjoying Ping'er's attentive service.
Recently, because he had just taken up the post of Shuntian Government Office, he did not dare to make mistakes in the new environment and was careful not to reveal any flaws.
He goes to and from the Yamen at the same time every day and doesn't go out to socialize in his spare time. Naturally, he doesn't have much in the way of having fun.
At the moment, the most important thing for him is to quickly establish a foothold in Shuntian Mansion and firmly hold the power belonging to Fu Cheng in his hands, but he has no time to waste on other things.
Wang Xifeng was so excited that Lian Er behaved like this. In the evening, he consciously stopped what he was doing and came back to wrap up Lian Er completely.
Apart from other things, we can't give any chance to the foxy people in the house, even Ping'er, the number one confidant around us, is no exception.
"Is there anything strange happening in the house?"
Reclining on the small couch, Lian Er asked lazily with his whole body relaxed.
"There is a strange thing. It seems that Mr. Cong brought a group of clan students to visit the Lin family today, and the government said it was quite unpleasant!"
While Ping'er was busy serving tea and water, he smiled and recounted the rumors in the house. Finally, he shook his head and smiled: "I don't know who spread it, but some people believe such unreliable news!"
Feng Lazi was doing her makeup, and couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and said disdainfully: "Who else could it be, isn't it my good aunt?"
Seeing Lian Er's interest, she told some of the secrets she knew, and said in a funny way: "He and Bao Yu did something wrong in the Lin family and lost their lives, but my good aunt first poured dirty water on Jia Cong."
On that boy!"
Lian Er was speechless. He didn't expect Mrs. Wang to have such an operation. Wasn't she trying to deceive others?
"Haha, Uncle Lin thinks very highly of Third Brother Cong. Isn't it a slap in the face to hear such words from the house?"
There were some words that he didn't say out loud, for fear that Feng Lazi and Ping'er wouldn't believe them if he said them.
This kid Jia Cong is not easy to deal with. Maybe Phoenix Egg will suffer a big loss in the future. Just one of his subordinates can give Phoenix Egg a good drink.
Also, Uncle Lin doesn't just value Jia Cong. Some people just like to look down on others.
Although he didn't know exactly what Jia Cong did when he was in Yangzhou, he vaguely sensed that Uncle Lin seemed to have successfully escaped from the position of Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor, and Jia Cong definitely contributed a lot.
I didn't know how dangerous the position of the Yangzhou Salt Patrol Censor was before. I thought it was a lucrative job. But as soon as "The Richest Man in the World" came out, who didn't know that the position of the Salt Patrol Censor was a big fire pit?
.
To put it bluntly, if your background is not strong enough, your ability and means are not strong enough, or even your willpower to resist all kinds of temptations is not strong enough, you will only be dead in this hot position.
It involves interests worth hundreds of millions of taels every year. If something goes wrong, it will end in pieces. At the very least, it will end in being dismissed from office and going to jail.
Lian Er guessed that maybe Jia Cong had a life-saving debt to Uncle Lin.
If this is the case, Uncle Lin is likely to give a rather astonishing reward, and even give away some of his connections and resources. It is not impossible.
At this time, using Uncle Lin's name to belittle Jia Cong is no different than stabbing Uncle Lin in the lungs.
The old lady still wants to bring Baoyu and Cousin Lin together, but now that something like this happens, she won't agree even if she kills Cousin Lin.
"Isn't it?"
Feng Lazi smiled sweetly and said: "Obviously Mr. Lin had informed the mansion a few days in advance that he would bring the Lin family's cousin back to entertain Jia Cong today. However, some people in the mansion pretended that this was not the case and still kept the rumors.
It’s spreading everywhere!”
"What's the use of spreading such rumors?"
Lian Er said with a smile: "The third brother Cong doesn't live by pleasing the old lady and the second wife. He has a lot of things to do outside. Isn't he burying people?"
When it comes to Jia Cong's property, even the second chain is jealous.
"By the way, Second Master, didn't Brother Cong receive the clan property as a gift from the Crown Prince of Chu? He is still too young to handle it anyway!"
Feng Lazi rolled her eyes. Now that she was talking about this, she just went along with the flow and said, "How about you let me, the sister-in-law, help him keep an eye on it?"
This was said so righteously and confidently that it seemed to be true.
Even the title has changed from calling him by his first name before, to 'Brother Cong'. This person is also a snobbish person who won't give up early without any benefit.
"Stop dreaming and save yourself the trouble!"
Lian Er rolled his eyes and said angrily: "The Crown Prince of Chu personally helps to look after this property, no one can get involved in it!"
I thought it was a sure thing, but I didn't expect it to be such a result. Feng Lazi was angry, but she couldn't get angry.
Seeing Lian Er's complacent attitude, he sneered angrily: "I mean, Second Master, haven't you become the Fourth Grade Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture? What's wrong with making the decision for that boy Jia Cong? It's hard for outsiders to say anything.
Bar!"
"I'm afraid that once I open my mouth, I will have to leave Shuntian Mansion in a few days, and I won't be able to expect any future in the future!"
He glanced at Feng Lazi lightly. As the person next to him, he naturally knew the other person's character. He sighed leisurely: "The energy and strength of Third Brother Cong are much stronger than you think. He is your proud second uncle.
I’m afraid I’m very afraid of this kid!”
Hehe, this is no joke. Even Wang Ziteng cannot handle the influence and destructive power written by that boy Jia Cong.
As long as I think of the Yangzhou salt merchants who are currently in dire straits, and Prince Zhongshun who is hiding in the palace, I feel a shudder in my heart.
I have never felt that miscellaneous books have such power!
"How can it be……"
Feng Lazi naturally didn't believe it, and she was about to retort as soon as her expression changed. Her second uncle, Wang Ziteng, was her biggest source of confidence, and Lian Er was not allowed to underestimate her in the slightest.
"Second Master, my mother is looking for me outside the door, saying there is something urgent!"
At this time, the little maid who was keeping watch outside the door came in and asked for instructions: "Second Master, are you here or not?"
Lian Er wanted to say goodbye, but Feng Lazi was the first to say, "Go and ask the Zhou Rui family to come in and talk!"
After saying that, when the little maid who was watching the night went out, she smiled at Lian Er who looked dissatisfied and said: "Today is also strange. Not only are there rumors flying around the house, but something happened to Zhou Rui, the foreign steward outside the house. I heard that he was
The official took him away!"
While explaining, Zhou Rui's family had already hurried in, ignoring the burning embarrassment on their faces, and said urgently: "Second Master Lian, the second wife has invited you, and I want you to rush over and talk as soon as possible..."
