At the beginning, he returned 500,000 taels of silver to the state treasury, but he was not qualified to go to court.

Now that Jia Lian has committed public anger and returned to the court, according to what Zhen Yingjia told him, Jia Lian is extremely dangerous this time, and not only that, although the Zhen family does not have much silver, it is also taking the lead.

If Jia Lian fails to please the court this time, then the next one who will be unlucky is his Zhen family.

So he went straight to Rongguo Mansion with a complicated mood, Zhen Qiyao himself didn't know whether he expected Jia Lian to be more unlucky, or hoped that he would be fine.

......

"Second Master, Second Master Zhen has been waiting for you in the study for a while."

Back at home, Wang'er took the big hair collar handed over by Jia Lian, and nodded his head and opened his mouth.

Still pondering what was going on in the court today, Jia Lian looked up at Wang'er when he heard this, and was a little surprised.

"How in the study?"

Zhen Qiyao is a guest, ordinary people's study is a heavy land, and the common sense is that the host is not there, and ordinary guests will not enter the study.

Of course, Wang'er knew this truth, and when she heard this, she knew that Jia Lian was just asking ordinarily, so she didn't say anything, so she smiled and spoke.

"It's grandma who said that the concierge is freezing in a panic, this cold day, Zhen Erye is a guest, she is a woman, and it is not good to treat guests, and we can't get in there, so I let the study be led."

The study has floor heating specially ordered by Jia Lian, but it is indeed not comparable to the porter.

Jia Cong has now also been promoted to an official, although it is only the official rank of the fourth grade, but compared with those who have stayed in the fifth grade for more than ten years, this age of Beijing official to the fourth grade is also amazing.

So at this time, I am working diligently in the yamen, and I am not at home.

Since Jia Yu heard Jia Lian talk about what happened in Suzhou, he didn't dislike the Zhen family as much as before.

Qin Keqing is a woman's family, and it is not easy to accompany guests, although Jia Lian is not very cold to Zhen Qiyao, and even very dissatisfied with the Zhen family because of the Pei family's affairs, but people like them, as long as they are not the hatred of taking their wives and killing their fathers, they generally have to get by.

In this way, Qin Keqing didn't know that the two of them were just general, so it was understandable.

After all, the Zhen family and the Jia family were so close in the past, and she was not easy to slacken.

Thinking about this section clearly, Jia Lian didn't care, and there was nothing unsightly in his study.

Qin Keqing originally thought that Jia Lian would stay in the yamen until the afternoon before coming back, so he went to prepare lunch for the two little ones at this time, so Jia Lian simply put on his clothes again and went directly to the study first.

"You go and tell grandma, and say that there is a guest who has left a meal, and let her watch the preparation."

The person who came was a guest, although Jia Lian didn't like Zhen Qiyao, there was no need to teach people such a trivial matter.

Wang'er nodded in response, and went to Qin Keqing to tell him, and here Jia Lian went to the study in the outer courtyard by himself.

"Brother Liancheng."

Hearing the sound of people outside asking for peace, Zhen Qiyao's eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly went out to greet him.

probably guessed Zhen Qiyao's intention, Jia Lian didn't bother to go around the pass, stretched out his hand to signal Zhen Qiyao to go in and said, and then entered the door and went to the back of the table.

"Don't worry, it's Your Majesty standing behind us this time, even if they want to make a move, beat the dog to see the master, but they don't dare to be too aggressive."

How dangerous the early dynasty was, but at this time, Jia Lian gave up with a few words.

never wanted to be seen through by Jia Lian, Zhen Qiyao smiled a little embarrassedly, and picked up the tea on the side and sipped it in disguise.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhen Qiyao's actions, Jia Lian lowered his head and picked up the tea and sipped it.

The Zhen family used him as a shield, and he was not.

Although because of the arrival of his butterfly, many things in the Red Chamber were very different from the original, Jia Lian found that these were only small incidents for a small number of people.

Or to put it another way, what Jia Lian has changed is basically just the ending of the fairies in the too illusory realm.

For example, Qin Keqing, such as Wang Xifeng, such as Jia Yingchun.

But the real major events of the Jia family, such as the Grand View Garden, such as the Qianxiang Kingdom, have not actually changed because of the instigation of Jia Lian's butterfly.

So this is also what Jia Lian is worried about.

instigated the Zhen family to take the lead in repaying the money, firstly, thinking that having the Zhen family take the lead would buy him more time, and it would also be convenient for him to secretly observe which part of the reaction was more intense.

The second is to see if I can change the ending of the Zhen family.

After all, Jia Lian seems to be a big event.

If the Zhen family can get out of the whirlpool of copying the family, then his Jia family will not be a problem.

A few polite words, and finally Zhen Qiyao had lunch at Jia's house before leaving.

And Jia Lian thought of the early dynasty, but he had another plan in his heart.

At the beginning, because of the unstable situation, Jia Lian immediately decided to close the newspaper.

But now in the scene, Jia Lian is thinking about whether to open the newspaper again to facilitate the control of public opinion.

It's just that before Jia Lian can make a difference, another shocking news from Ping'an Zhou is to make Jia Lian's anxiety, which has been calmed down, come back again!

......

"How could it be so sudden, the last time he returned to Beijing, wasn't his body still fine?"

Unbelievable, Jia Yu looked at Jia Lian, who was frowning and ugly, and opened his mouth suspiciously.

It's just that as soon as the words fell, there was a burst of scolding outside, followed by a burst of messy footsteps, and a sharp female voice gradually approached.

"Put your mother's fart, the old lady will ask clearly, if you say it, see if the old lady doesn't tear your mouth!"

With a bit of hysteria, the door was opened from the outside with a "bang", Jia Lian turned around, Wang Xifeng was violent, and his face, which was originally round and a little kind because he gave birth to a child, looked very fierce and vicious.

Jia Yu Jia Lian heard the voice early, glanced at each other, and then looked at the door with unkind faces.

"Presumptuous! Look at yourself like this, what kind of system you have become! ”

Jia Yu originally disliked Wang Xifeng very much, but now Wang Xifeng's appearance reminds him of the kick he was kicked by Wang Xifeng once upon a time.

Wang Xifeng never thought that he would meet Jia Yu and Jia Lian as soon as he entered the door, and when he heard the words, his face was somewhat restrained, but he still looked angry.

"I've seen the eldest master, I've seen the second uncle Lian."

took a deep breath, the rules and regulations were done first, and Jia Rong and the others who were chasing behind also swarmed in at this time, and their faces were very ugly.

When Jia Lian saw Wang Xifeng's appearance, he looked at Jia Rong with a depressed face, guessed something in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Jia Rong saw Wang Xifeng's menacing look, afraid that she would say something she shouldn't say, so she stretched out her hand and pulled it, but was slapped down by Wang Xifeng.

"Don't pull me, you didn't say that just now? My uncle is working hard in Ping'an Zhou for Daxuan, you have to say this broken mouth, let's let the big guys judge it today. ”

Ignoring Jia Rong's already dark face, Wang Xifeng turned his head to look at Jia Yu, who was not worried, and then looked at Jia Lian, who was not easy to be silent, unlike when he choked with Jia Rong just now, Wang Xifeng looked a little nervous.

"Let the eldest master, Second Uncle Lian laugh, but today I must ask the two of you to judge me."

After a pause, he glanced at Jia Rong from the corner of his eye.

"Today, I really took Sister Qiao to play, and he actually came over to tell me that he heard the news from the eldest uncle Lian, saying that my uncle died violently!"

Saying that, his chest rose and fell violently, Wang Xifeng's throat moved, and he glared at Jia Rong fiercely again, and then looked at Jia Lian again.

"Eldest master, second uncle, you know, I was raised by my uncle and aunt since I was a child, my father and mother died early, they and I are just like my parents, and now I am cursed like this, how can I feel at ease?

My uncle is on an errand in Ping'an Zhou, if it is really gone, why hasn't our Wang family received the news yet, but your Jia family already knows! ”

As he spoke, his eyes were already red, and Wang Xifeng craned his neck to look at Jia Lian.

This is where things can be confused, in fact, when Jia Rong said it, Wang Xifeng was like being struck by lightning at that time.

And the reason why she has been reluctant to believe it is what she said just now.

Because Wang Ziteng is a member of the Wang family, there is no reason why the Wang family doesn't know about it, but the Jia family knows it faster than them.

is half and half mentality, Wang Xifeng is particularly worried.

Although the daughter who got married spilled the water, let alone a niece like her.

Therefore, for Wang Xifeng, Wang Ziteng's life and death should have no impact on her.

It's just that the family is in charge today, and with the status of the prince today, as long as he is alive for one day, then the Wang clan can benefit a lot just by virtue of his reputation.

Wang Xifeng is Wang Ziteng's own niece and nephew, and now she is married to Ning Guofu, and her husband Jia Rong is more than obedient to her.

And the reason for this result, although it is not unrelated to her control of the financial power of Ning Guofu, but the most critical thing is also because of the power of her mother's family behind her.

After all, she is Wang Ziteng's own niece and nephew, Jia Rong is only the official title of a five-grade dragon riding Wei, and she is still a void, so she really dare not match it.

Although there is also Rongguofu to help, Jia Rong is intimidated by nature, so she does not dare to disobey Wang Xifeng at all.

But if the prince died, it would all be different.

Family model, except for Wang Ziteng, there is no one in the family who can afford to take on the big responsibility.

So as soon as the prince fell, the Wang family was finished.

The Wang family is over, so the daughters of the Wang family who are married outside will not have the same status in the in-laws' family as before.

Wang Xifeng is no exception.

It's just that now Wang Xifeng asked directly at the two, and Jia Yu and Jia Lian looked at each other, but they didn't dare to speak casually.

Because this matter actually came from the emperor, as for why the prince died violently, the Wang family did not know, and Jia Lian did not know the details.

"You, where did you hear that?"

Not daring to confront Wang Xifeng in this state, Jia Lian's finger moved away from Wang Xifeng's direction and pointed at Jia Rong instead.

After the early court, the emperor summoned several ministers into the imperial study to talk about the matter.

Although it was not said to be kept secret. But suddenly, Jia Lian thought that there seemed to be such a section in the Red Mansion. Wang Ziteng died violently or something, but he didn't write it in detail, so Jia Lian didn't care about it, but now that he thinks about it, it seems to have become the reason why Jia Lian couldn't change the big incident in the Red Mansion.

So Jia Lian was anxious, and when he came back, he went straight to Jia Yu, wanting to hear Jia Yu's thoughts, but he didn't tell Jia Rong.

was pointed at Jia Lian's nose like this, everyone's eyes instantly noticed Jia Rong's face, Jia Rong was a little embarrassed by Jia Lian's question, and after hearing the words for a long time, she finally couldn't resist everyone's pressure, and then spoke.

"Yes, I was listening to Second Uncle Lian and the eldest master himself outside just now."

Coughing lightly, Jia Rong licked her lips, a little embarrassed.

It turned out that Jia Rong wanted to ask Jia Yu to go to Ningguo Mansion just now, but as soon as he entered the door, he found that the house was empty, but there was a sound in the inner room, so he went in by himself.

It's just that before he could prepare, he heard this bombshell.

Hearing that he overheard, Jia Lian knew that it was useless to tell Wang Xifeng what he wanted at this time, so after careful consideration, he finally told the news he heard from the emperor in the morning.

"Your Majesty also thinks this is very strange.

It was only a little more than a month since Lord Wang entered Beijing before, and it stands to reason that this should have been not far from Ping'an Zhou, but he never wanted to receive an urgent battle report, saying that Lord Wang died suddenly.

In the morning, His Majesty summoned a few of us, and wanted to send someone to find out what was going on. ”

While speaking, he looked at Wang Xifeng, and seeing that this was Hu Wang Xifeng's face was completely sluggish, Jia Lian sighed, and then continued to speak.

"Your Majesty didn't tell the Wang family about this, I'm also very surprised, no matter what happened to such a big thing, it shouldn't be that I didn't notify the family, maybe I'm one step faster than the people in the palace, if you wait, you should be able to wait for the news."

When he spoke, in fact, Jia Lian couldn't believe that the invincible prince Teng was gone like this.

It's just that in this way, Jia Lian is even more worried.

If Wang Ziteng's death shows that even if there is a butterfly like Jia Lian in the Red Mansion incident, it will still slowly get on the right track, then the Jia family will be in danger.

It's just that there are things that you can't think about because you want to.

In the end, it seemed that in order to verify the authenticity, Wang Xifeng didn't even have time to say goodbye to Jia Lian, Jia Yu and others, so he ran directly to Ning Guofu without any scruples.

"Prepare the carriage quickly, and go to Wang's house immediately!"

It came in a hurry, and it went quickly.

Before Jia Lian could react behind him, Wang Xifeng had already disappeared.

Looking at the shadow that was gradually moving away, Jia Lian turned his head and looked at Jia Yu again.

"Father, can you believe that Lord Wang died violently?"

If Jia Lian is not mistaken, then in the Dream of Red Mansions, it is said that the reason why Wang Ziteng died violently was because of his high merit.

Wang Ziteng is the capital of the nine provinces, and he still holds a lot of military power in his hands.

So Jia Lian might as well make a bold guess, the old emperor's life is not long, with Wang Ziteng's qualifications and work efficiency, if he is not removed, then Wang Ziteng will inevitably become a dangerous person after the prince ascends the throne.

After all, the Wang family and other families have always been involved.

If after the death of the emperor, the royal family with military power can't stand the bewitchment, and finally presses the treasure on other princes, then the emperor will really die.

So just in case, before he died, the old emperor tried everything he could to get rid of those who he felt were dangerous.

Obviously, Wang Ziteng, who has military power and is rebellious, is a live target.

Thinking about it this way, Jia Lian looked at the direction of the palace.

All that was just his idle speculation just now.
