For the next two months, the entire capital was shaken by the plot of a novel.

From the emperor's relatives and high-ranking officials to the peddlers, pawns and servant coolies, they are all attracted by the wonderful content of the novel "The Richest Man in the World", or it is more appropriate to be shocked.

The collusion between officials and businessmen, the description of Yangzhou salt merchants' extreme desire for luxury, is really not too shocking.

After Liu Dafu became the boss of the salt gang, the subsequent private salt trade was not smooth sailing. More importantly, with the expansion of the scale of smuggling of salt, it has begun to violate the interests of the real salt merchants, and it will naturally be subject to terrorist blows from the government and regular salt merchants.

The bloody storms during this period, as well as intrigues and intrigues, as well as the struggle for interests, no matter what point is terrifying, it is terrifying.

At the same time, the interests exposed in it, each node is related to silver coins in units of 10,000 taels or even 100,000 taels, which makes the eyes of the audience and readers red with envy.

No one would have thought that it was just a medium-sized salt gang, and the benefits involved in smuggling smuggled salt would be so terrifying.

I'm afraid that the interests involved every year are millions of taels!

Don't talk about ordinary people, even high-ranking officials and officials of the emperor's relatives and countries, all those who do not participate in the existence of salt and profit are red-eyed.

Compared with the incessant profits of salt profits, their hard work to use their power to merge land, expand their business territory, and forcibly seize it is more like a joke.

At this time, it is not that no one has come forward to guide public opinion, and all kinds of propaganda that this is just the content of a novel, implying that whoever believes it is stupid.

At the same time, Wang Ziteng, the man who carried the blame, ushered in an even more terrifying pressure, and in a short period of time, all kinds of impeachment recitals were like snowflakes, and his face turned green when he heard this.

……

"Did the third young master hear about it, the second wife was severely reprimanded by her uncle at her mother's house, and after she came back, she stayed in the room and didn't come out, and it was said that she cried angrily!"

At noon on this day, the little maid followed Jia Cong to the main hall of the General's Mansion for dinner, and whispered mysterious gossip in the interval of rest.

"You little girl, why did you hear such rumors?"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "How did you know about the second wife's side?" ”

"It's not my sister who followed the second wife back to her uncle's house with her broken mouth!"

The little maid's answer made Jia Cong desperate for the secrecy in the house, Nima even dared to spread such a shameful thing, what else did these children in the house dare not say?

"Does the third young master know, why was the second wife reprimanded by the uncle?"

Obviously, Jia Cong's deterrence was insufficient, and the little maid's gossip was too strong, so after a while, she came over and whispered: "I heard that the uncle of the Wang family was impeached recently, and life is not very easy, and the second wife ran to ask the uncle to fulfill his promise at this time, and the uncle of the Wang family was angry!" ”

Tut!

Sure enough, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles!

Glancing at the gossipy little girl with bright eyes and full of spirit, Jia Cong said angrily: "How do you know about the things outside?" ”

"Third Young Master, don't underestimate people!"

The little maid was suddenly unhappy, pouting and dissatisfied: "My news channels are very well-informed, the sister on the old lady's side, the sister in the second wife's room, and the sister under the second grandmother, I know all the sisters under the second grandmother, and the relationship is good!" ”

Jia Cong was surprised, didn't want the little maid around her to be a hidden public relations master?

The little maid sparrow obviously came to talk about sex, and it didn't matter whether Jia Cong, the young master, wanted to listen to it or not, she smiled and said: "I heard the old lady's sister say that the uncle of the Wang family is now being attacked by the political enemies of the court, and the momentum is quite powerful, even the old lady is also alarmed, and asks the second master to pay attention at all times!" ”

Without waiting for Jia Cong to say anything, she continued: "By the way, there is also the second master Lian who was also told by the old lady, I heard that even the Shi family has been frequently sending messages recently, it seems that the situation of the uncle of the Wang family is not optimistic!" ”

Saying that, on his delicate and immature little face, he barely made a 'sad' look, just a pair of big eyes that flashed the fire of gossip, but betrayed his mind at this time.

"You can hear this with just one ear, but don't spread it indiscriminately!"

Jia Cong didn't expect that Wang Ziteng, the back-handed man, was unlucky to become like this, and he could only hope that this guy would be blessed with more happiness while laughing in his heart.

However, judging from the reaction of the prince of Chu in recent days, the situation should not be bad, otherwise this person would have to be warned in advance.

It's just that when he saw the little maid looking excited, he didn't have the courage to warn him, and asked the little maid not to follow the nonsense, otherwise the consequences would be quite serious.

strangled the troubles that the little maid might cause in the cradle, but Jia Cong didn't care too much, and just listened to a joke.

Not to mention that the prince of Chu, who has been in a pretty good relationship recently, did not warn, even the unlucky party who was behind the blame, Prince Teng, did not snort, what does he, the initiator, have to say, just wait and see.

As for the old lady's overreaction, it can only be said that Rongguo Mansion has been marginalized for a long time, and she panics when she encounters something, and the situation of the Shi family is similar.

Master Zheng Er and Chain Er are both positive five-grade officials at this time, and how much real information can they find?

At the moment, what should be done is to ask Wang Ziteng about the situation on his side, and at the same time be prepared to deal with being implicated, not that Wang Ziteng has not had a problem, and Rongguofu, a 'bystander', is in chaos.

Fortunately, Lin Ruhai was quite reliable, and when Jia Cong returned home in the evening, he heard the accurate news from the little maid Lingque and the nurse Li: Uncle Lin took the initiative to come to the door in the afternoon, and he didn't know what to say to the old lady, and the uneasy atmosphere on Rongqingtang's side dissipated mostly.

What else can be said?

Jia Cong knew it with his ass, but it was just to calm the old lady's uneasy mind, and the current situation in the court was actually not much pressure on Wang Ziteng.

Although he didn't meet Lin Ruhai in person, the old housekeeper Lin recently sent several small notes, all of which were words of comfort and comfort, obviously Lin Ruhai could see it clearly.

may not have expected that the novel "The Richest Man in the World" would cause such a big wave, and Wang Ziteng, an unlucky guy, became a backstabber.

But whether it is the general trend of the court or public opinion, it is even more unfavorable for those who are panicked and desperate to impeach Wang Ziteng.

Since including the court bigwigs believe that the novel "The Richest Man in the World" was deliberately done by Wang Ziteng, then he encountered an unprecedented impeachment storm, which is very intriguing.

Could it be that some plots in the novel have already offended the sensitive nerves of the parties involved in the salt and profit?

At this time, the impeachment storm was launched, which directly exposed some existence, and it can be said that the gains outweighed the losses......
