"Tsk, I really didn't expect it!"

In the study room of Prince Zhongshun's mansion, looking at the information tortured out overnight in his hand, Prince Zhongshun looked playful and surprised.

He didn't expect that he originally just wanted to knock on Rongguofu, and by the way, he was looking for some black material, but he accidentally set up a big fierce material.

The wife of the head of Rongguo Mansion turned out to be a thief!

Through the means of secretly selling cheaply, the ancestral property that originally belonged to Rongguo Mansion was slowly transferred to his private house.

After 20 years of 'unremitting efforts', the grange and shops in Rongguo Mansion except for the suburbs of Beijing have finally swallowed almost eighty percent of the share.

Even the sacrificial fields in Jinling's hometown, Mrs. Wang did not let go, and the ugly appearance and crazy greed made even Prince Zhongshun secretly smash his tongue.

"Lord Wang, it seems that although Rongguo Mansion is glamorous on the surface now, it has no successor, and it should decline quickly when the old book is eaten up!"

The henchman standing next to him said happily: "I don't want Rongguofu to be tossed to such a point by a woman!" ”

"Hehe, it seems that this king is too worried, and it is impossible for Rongguo Mansion to pose much threat to this king at all!"

Prince Zhongshun sneered: "There is more than one woman in power in Rongguo Mansion, the so-called upward and downward effect, maybe that old feudal monarch is also a master of digging the foot of the wall!" ”

The confidant staff looked surprised and said in disbelief: "No! ”

Hehe......

Prince Zhongshun did not explain, but he was convinced in his heart.

During this time, the palace did not explore the details of the affairs of Rongguo Mansion, and the information found was shocking to him, an outsider.

The chief steward Lai Da, as well as the four major housekeepers, as well as a foreign steward, which one does not have a group of servants in a private house?

Especially the Lai family's five-entry mansion, in terms of scale, it is only smaller than the Rongguo Mansion, that is, it is stronger than the wealthy businessmen in the capital!

How can a servant steward get so much money in his hand to buy a family business?

In addition to relying on the power of Rongguo Mansion and taking advantage of the fox and tiger outside, the biggest source of money is naturally Rongguo Mansion.

And Lai Da's old lady is the henchman of the old feudal monarch in Rongguo Mansion!

Compared with Lai Da, Zhou Rui, who is the manager of Mrs. Wang's private property and shops, is much lower, and the benefits he can get are not the same.

Originally, if you want to knock Rongguofu, or completely ruin the reputation of Rongguofu, Lai Da is the best choice.

can't even control a slave, and the Rongguo Mansion is almost over.

It's just that Prince Zhongshun is a little jealous of the old feudal lord of Rongguofu.

It's not Mrs. Shi's ability, it's her connections.

The old ladies in the Four Kings and Eight Princes' Mansions, and even the old concubines in the palace, are all old relationships with Mrs. Shi, and once they are used, Prince Zhongshun can't stand it.

If you are labeled as a bully for the 'widow of an old minister', I am afraid that the future will be even more difficult.

Then, the people in the palace targeted Zhou Rui's house.

With mental calculation or unintentionality, Zhou Rui's gang was successfully captured, and then interrogated overnight, this guy was not a hard bone, and soon everything was poured out.

The richness of the content made Prince Zhongshun 'shocked'.

"Lord Wang, with these things, you can directly discredit Rongguo Mansion, and you can't raise your head in the elite circle in the capital!"

The confidant suggested to him: "It's better to find an appropriate opportunity to spread the word!" ”

"No!"

Prince Zhongshun did not agree, and said helplessly: "There is too much news that is too shocking, but it is not easy to publicize it at will!" ”

Once it is publicized, the Wang family will certainly not be pleased, and may even lose the authority of the housekeeper's wife, but Prince Zhongshun will completely offend the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family in one go, and he will directly confront the power of the four major families in Jinling.

Wang Ziteng is not easy to provoke, the Shijia Shuanghou is also quite tricky, the Rongguo Mansion also has an obvious momentum, and Lin Ruhai's means and strength are also not bad.

There is also the so-called Jia Cong, a pen is also called Prince Zhongshun is quite jealous, but he doesn't want to be smeared anymore.

It can be said that the news from Zhou Rui's interrogation is Mrs. Wang's big handle, but it is also an out-and-out hot potato.

The henchmen were stunned for a moment, and then reacted quickly, frowned and said with a wry smile: "Who knew there would be such a thing!" ”

It is Prince Zhongshun, who is facing the four major families of Jinling, which are still powerful at this time, in the case of the loss of peripheral forces on the surface, it is also quite difficult and may even be in a weak position.

I didn't expect to encounter such a situation, which is quite embarrassing.

Prince Zhongshun wants to slap Rongguo Mansion in the face, but he doesn't want to be suppressed and embarrassed, so if this is the case, it is better not to launch it.

"Don't be frustrated, after all, this time the palace has a big handle!"

Prince Zhongshun quickly sorted out his thoughts, and said coldly with a glint in his eyes: "This time we can't mainly target Rongguo Mansion, the big handle we hold is best to pull the Wang family into the water, and the effect is the best!" ”

After all, Mrs. Wang herself has a big problem, and once the Wang family is involved, it will be a big scandal, and the reputation of the Wang family will be hit hard.

Isn't Wang Ziteng ambitious, if his further ambitions are affected by Mrs. Wang's involvement, I don't know if there will be a conflict with Rongguo Mansion.

As long as the four major families are not working together, if one of them is targeted alone, it will still be relatively easy for Prince Zhongshun.

"Then the prince, what should we do with the captured Zhou Rui!"

The confidant staff asked: "After all, the palace has moved, and it is impossible not to take any measures, and it is necessary to suppress the momentum of the Rongguo Mansion!" ”

"Then send it to the Shuntianfu prison on the grounds of seizing the fields and oppressing the people!"

Prince Zhongshun sneered: "Isn't Lian Er's house in Shuntian Mansion, this king wants to see what he does!" ”

"The prince is clever!"

……

After the second chain went to the office, he soon knew where Zhou Rui was.

Looking at the guilt in his hand, his face was quite ugly.

Zhou Rui has already pleaded guilty and been detained, which means that the case cannot be overturned at all, unless he, the mansion, is willing to take the risk.

But for the sake of a steward, is it worth betting on your own future?

Don't talk about it, Chain Er's face changed for a while, and finally he simply didn't know about it, what should he do.

It's just that......

He wanted to ignore it, but Madam Wang couldn't have asked him to pass the test so easily.

The effect of sprinkling manpower all over last night was still there, and soon after Zhou Rui was escorted to the Shuntian Mansion for detention, Mrs. Wang got the news.

"Go, go to the Shuntian Mansion and ask Chain Er to release people!"

As for Zhou Rui's confession and detention, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Don't look at Mrs. Wang's appearance of eating fasting and reciting Buddha, but she doesn't take the lives of ordinary people seriously in her heart at all, Feng Lazi and her can be said to be in the same vein.

Zhou Rui's family was full of joy, and he personally went to the Shuntian Mansion to relay Mrs. Wang's instructions, and then waited for Lian Er to let people leave.

"This case is not under my control, if you want to catch people, it is best to say that Shun Tianfu Yin nodded!"

Chain Er was depressed, but he refused categorically with an expressionless face.

"You ......"

originally thought it was just a trivial matter for Zhou Rui's family, but he didn't expect Chain Er to react like this, and he was so angry that his face turned red and he almost scolded.

Fortunately, she was quite sensible, and she suppressed the anger in her heart and didn't say anything, she turned around and left, she wanted to report to the second wife.

"What a!"

Seeing Zhou Rui's reaction, he obviously didn't take him seriously at all, and Lian Er's heart was full of hatred.

When he was resting at noon, he was depressed and did not return to his home, nor did he invite his officials to the restaurant to contact his feelings, but went to the Huiyou Bookstore to find Jia Cong to complain.

"For the sake of Zhou Rui, a mere steward, he actually asked me to release him at the risk of losing my official position and resigning, and I don't know what the second wife thinks?"

forcibly dragged Jia Cong to a nearby restaurant, ordered a few dishes casually, and after Xiao Er left, he couldn't help but complain repeatedly.

"Maybe in the second wife's heart, Second Brother Lian, your status is really not as good as Zhou Rui!"

Jia Cong was not affected at all, smiled and stuck a knife into the second heart of the chain, and said: "People are 'hard-working' to manage the Grange shops outside for the second wife, what can the second brother of the chain help the second wife?" ”

Chain Er just picked up a piece of beef, and when he heard this, he directly threw the beef and chopsticks into the bowl, and said angrily with wide eyes: "I said third brother, don't hit me like this, this is too hurtful!" ”

"But that's the truth!"

Jia Cong looked leisurely, and said with a smile: "Maybe, Zhou Rui also knows a lot of what the second wife is secretly doing, otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to catch people!" ”

Chain Er nodded, this is indeed true.

"But it's clear that the guy who escorted Zhou Rui and his crimes and paintings to the Shuntian Mansion is definitely not good!"

Jia Cong saw at a glance that it was boring, and said with a smile: "Maybe, the guy in the secret will wait for the second brother to make a mistake, and then make you directly disgraced!" ”

The more serious speculation was not spoken, and the chain two knew it.

Sure enough, Lian Er, who was still indignant just now, had an extremely ugly face at this time, and his heart trembled slightly.

was disturbed by Zhou Rui's, and he didn't even notice this layer for a while.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a sense of happiness......

"It's so insidious, if I know which bastard did it, I won't be able to spare him!"

How to say it, it is also a dignified four-grade Shuntian Mansion Cheng, and after reacting, Chain Er suddenly became furious and full of murderous intent, obviously really angry.

Tut!

"I think the second brother of the chain should go back to the yamen as soon as possible, maybe the second wife will have some moths!"

Jia Cong couldn't see the 'majestic and dignified' appearance of Lian Er, so he reminded angrily: "Besides, if you have the courage to play such a trick, I'm afraid it's not that you are a little Shuntian Mansion Cheng, who can easily do it!" ”

Chain Er rolled his eyes and just wanted to scold his mother, he originally wanted to come to Jia Cong to complain, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed repeatedly, if he didn't know that he couldn't beat him, he really wanted to teach this kid a good lesson, and he wanted him to know what it means to respect his brother!
