19. The nineteenth round
Jia Daishan can't let the prince sit and wait while he is alive.
When Jia's mother heard that she was naturally released quickly, Jia Zheng was quite helpless: he had the heart to talk to his brother-in-law.
When his brother-in-law first entered Beijing, he thought that his brother-in-law was going to be idle at home, and his brother-in-law did not come to the door for help, so he was slightly cold. When his brother-in-law arrived at the household, he didn't want to come to the door immediately to please, and it was almost a month since he came and went, and his brother-in-law also continued...... It's better to pick up the day than to hit the sun, and when I met today, I should talk about it, how did I think that the prince of my brother-in-law's mansion came to the door......
Not to mention Jia Zheng, even Wang Ziteng didn't expect Lin Hai to let the saint hand-pick into the household department, and he regretted not being at the beginning more than Jia Zheng: obviously Lin Hai is expected to become his own person. He wanted to sink into the temperament of Lin Hai, and he was not in a hurry to make a move, so that he could "use it in the future" or "be an arm helper", and a duck that didn't pay attention to the cooked duck flew away......
Fortunately, Wang Ziteng's thoughts Lin Hai didn't know, otherwise he would have to laugh off his big teeth: it is still "useful"...... When the emperor said this, Lin Hai should fart.
Originally, the scholars who had reached a certain level of dΓΉ were just like that for the imperial power, otherwise where did the "chaotic ministers and thieves" who usurped power and seize the throne come from?
Lin Hai is from modern times, and he will not take painting a big cake to heart, even if the emperor personally paints a big cake for him. The prince's official position is unstable, so of course he wants to fool people into joining him...... I just don't know if Jia Yucun regrets it now.
What does Jia Yucun regret?
A down-and-out jinshi, relying on a letter of recommendation from her father as a student, and a murder case for Wang Ziteng's nephew, completely climbed to the first-class master, even if this product is not so worthy of the name, but Jia Yucun also relied on his own ability to contact the nobles behind Wang Ziteng......
Jia Yucun is not dissatisfied with anything, at least not with it.
What he is distressed about now is that the Zhen family, one of the head snakes in Jinling, is not very satisfied with him.
said that the relationship between the Zhen family and the Jia family was really iron, but the Zhen family had a general relationship with the Wang family, and it was a little bad because of business matters.
If it was left in the past, Wang Ziteng and Zhen Yingjia might have tacitly taken a step back, but now it is not possible, Wang Ziteng needs to use silver to stabilize his position, although he has not shown merit, but in fact, he has indeed helped his niece Yuanchun.
Jia Yucun is a powerful subordinate who helped Wang Ziteng make money in Jinling, and there is no "one". Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion 100,000 snowflakes of silver, that's in vain?
Zhen Yingjia finally "raised her eyebrows" because of her wife's pregnancy: her confidence and ambition also returned.
He wants to use the silver to pave the way for his daughter, especially himselfβyes, he wants to find a good family affair for his daughter in the capital, and at the same time, he wants to get a real job himself, not like Jia Yu, who can get by with a false title.
Jia Yucun will pull the shelf, but between the Wang family and the Zhen family...... He can't find a balance in this kind of real conflict of interests. The Wang family is his benefactor, but the Zhen family's Jia Yucun can't afford to offend. He has been a teacher for Zhen Baoyu at all, and he has seen and heard about the Zhen family's family to some extent.
In my conscience, I am innocent, but in fact, I am a poor scholar with no family background to speak of, and it is really difficult to be an official.
If you don't look for a mountain or don't have the appreciation of nobles, you can't do it. Don't forget, Jia Yucun was also an honest and honest parent official...... Then he was deposed. Jia Yucun can turn over today precisely because he found a way and hugged his thigh.
In other words, after suffering a loss from Zhen Yingjia, Jia Yucun thought about it, and still wrote a letter to Wang Ziteng, who was inspecting the northwest provinces, to explain his situation.
"I can't beat my parents" This kind of thing is not only Jia Yucun can do, Zhen Yingjia also wrote a letter to find relatives and friends, so he alternated himself to be strong and powerful......
So when the family of three left Rongfu to rush home, Lin Hai sat in the carriage and received a letter from Zhen Yingjia. He opened it and looked at it, laughed while reading, and handed the letter to Wang Chan after reading it, so that his daughter-in-law was also happy.
Wang Chan took it and looked at it: Oh, the words are so big, no wonder the old man gave them to me after reading them in the carriage.
She knew that Lin Hai and Zhen Yingjia had a good relationship: when the old man was seriously ill in bed, Zhen Yingjia also went to visit. After the old man recovered, he also gave the recipe to Zhen Yingjia.
Daiyu leaned to her father's side and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" β
Lin Hai also told the truth, "Your uncle Zhen is suing your father and me." β
Daiyu was taken aback, "Huh? For what? β
Lin Hai teased his daughter: "What do you say? β
Daiyu didn't think about it, "For the silver?" β
Lin Hai laughed: My daughter really understands something.
At this time, Wang Chan happened to read the letter, so he asked, "What kind of charter is the master?" β
Zhen Yingjia said in the letter: His wife and daughter will enter Beijing soon, and I hope Lin Hai can take care of it a little.
In the original book, the ending of the Zhen family was also a copy, which fell earlier than the Jia family. But in Lin Hai's opinion, Zhen Yingjia is more clear than Jia Zheng, and the root cause of the Zhen family's decline is probably "following the wrong person". It's too early to say that the princes are only in their early twenties, so they deliberately stay away from the Zhen family in order to avoid risks, which is really unnecessary.
So Lin Hai said: "If you can, you can help." However, I guess that the mother and daughter of the Zhen family will go to Jiafu first if they have something, and we will see the excitement at most. β
Wang Chan thought for a while before asking, "We don't care about marriage?" β
The couple also deliberately did not avoid Daiyu when they spoke.
Daiyu tugged at her father's sleeve and whispered, "Take care of the marriage?" What's going on? But he didn't question the meaning of his stepmother Wang Chan at all.
Daiyu could feel that her father treated her stepmother very well, and her stepmother tried her best to treat her well in return. So she will try to get along with her stepmother, even if it doesn't embarrass her father.
Seeing that Daiyu was interested, Wang Chan explained this: There are many gentlemen from famous families in Beijing, they just look at the bright fire pit, and the pit is also those girls who have just entered the capital and don't know the roots, such as the Zhen family, which is quite suitable.
In fact, Wang Chan wanted to say a word or two, such as being born...... That's it, Daiyu is still young, Wang Chan still swallowed it.
And what Lin Hai thought was: Zhen Yingjia and his daughter-in-law are also mothers, if they all make the power blind...... Don't mix up this IQ in the capital.
Wang Chan understood Lin Hai's unfinished meaning, and smiled without saying a word. And Daiyu blinked, "Anyway, my father and mother know it." β
The Rong Mansion and the Lin Mansion were not far apart, the carriage passed through the gate of his house and stopped in the courtyard, Lin Hai had a daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law, and just stood in front of his own hanging flower door, he saw Bao Huaishang leading the two princes to appear in front of him.
Lin Hai's family of three hurriedly saluted.
The eyes of the two princes also stayed on Daiyu for a few more moments.
Wang Chan is the cousin aunt of the two princes, and she is also the aunt of the Nine Emperors, and she talks to the prince quite casually, "This is discussed?" β
The Nine Emperors said with a smile: "The fifth brother won't say a word, and I'll go out with me......" This is also thanks to Lin Hai becoming their brother's cheap cousin, otherwise it would be even more difficult to come to the door.
How many days has it been since the fifth prince and his daughter-in-law were pregnant? How can you find out with the current level of medical care? The fifth prince felt very good because he drank the medicine, and after greeting his father, he took the ninth brother to thank him and ...... at the same time There is something to say.
However, Lin Hai always felt that this timing was a bit delicate, and the two princes were afraid that it was more than ...... One came to thank you, while the other was to accompany you.
After listening to the answer of the Nine Emperor Princes, Lin Hai didn't verify his guess.
Lin Hai invited the two princes into the study, and Wang Chan took Daiyu to retire temporarily: she had to go back to the room to freshen up and change her clothes, and then hurry up to prepare dinner......
However, he said that the guests and hosts sat down in the study, and after a few words of greeting, the fifth prince solemnly thanked him, "Thanks to Lord Lin's prescription, I have not only slept well and eaten well these days, but also have a stronger spirit than before." β
The Nine Emperors put down the tea bowl at this time and said with a smile, "Fifth brother." β
The fifth prince also smiled, "Ninth brother, are you impatient?" He looked at Lin Haidao again, "Lord Lin turned over the accounts involving that silver today. β
Lin Hai understood it: The so-called silver was about the fact that Wang Ziteng exposed the cat's grudge, which caused his predecessor to be imprisoned, and the appropriation that should have been used for the repair of the northwest camp.
However, this morning he asked the clerk to go to the treasury of the household department to get the file, and in the evening the two princes came to the door to tell the matter...... He immediately lifted his spirits.
Lord Lin is from the side of the ninth brother, and he is also half of his side...... The fifth prince didn't want to see Lin Hai ruined in this big case.
"Actually, the money was allocated by the household."
Even if it is a special appropriation, it has to be stripped once in the household department, and then one or two layers are peeled off when it comes to the military department and the superintendent, and the northwest battalion is only six or seven percent of the original number - this is still the result of the dynasty ~ officials ~ ruling the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that the silver is put aside, but it is a qualitative difference whether it is dialed or not. The dossier that Lin Hai looked through was also a little vague, but the meaning on paper was that it was not allocated. Combined with what the five princes said, Lin Hai knew that this silver must have been swallowed by a big man.
He can figure things out in an instant, and there is no reason why the saint can't see through it.
The fifth prince looked secretive at this time, and pointed upward.
Lin Hai understands in seconds: The Emperor?!
But at the same time, he didn't understand: the emperor wanted to use silver, and he directly sent his servants out to hug him, so why did he have to swallow the silver money of the household department?
Unless the emperor is also covering up for whom.
The Nine Emperor Princes suddenly sighed lightly, "It's not difficult to know the beginning and the end of this matter, but ...... It's just that everyone knows the truth, but there is no way to pursue it. β
Since it was said that it was not difficult to know the truth, Lin Hai was really curious. He intuitively felt that the big man behind this matter was related to Wang Ziteng.
And the insider who is willing to give him a solution to his doubts really has a ready-made ...... The deposed prince Yizhong King.
But it was too ...... to hand over a post to this prince in a hurry Lin Hai suddenly looked forward to the king of Yizhong, who had seen the beginning and the end of the dragon, to meet him again.
It was already afternoon, and he was looking down and pondering, and walked out of the yamen, and when he looked up again, he saw King Yizhong standing under the sun and smiling at him.
Lin Hai was a little helpless when he saw the ceremony: he really hoped that his "wish come true" skill would not be lit up at this time.
