Chapter 1151 Geng Zijuan Seduction
Chin Keqing is not an amateur who is ignorant of worldly affairs.
Although her adoptive father Qin Ye was only a maintenance man in the Ministry of Industry, and Lun Pinyi was two levels lower than Jia Zheng's Yuanwai Lang, for Qin Keqing, it was also her introduction to the outside world and even some affairs of the imperial court.
The so-called Yingzhilang is an honorific title given to officials such as principals and deputy principals by outsiders, but Qin Ye is better than Jia Zheng in terms of popularity in the Ministry of Industry. Of course, Pin Yi is just a make-shift person. Officials who have food to eat.
However, after Qin Keqing learned that his life experience was a mystery, he often asked Qin Ye about some court affairs. He was no stranger to court affairs. Later, after he became more and more suspicious of his life experience, he even tried to find out more about it through various channels, even if it was fragmentary. He has only a little understanding of it, but he also knows that this relationship is not simple.
Tens of thousands of horses in the capital camp were captured by the Mongols, and more than 50,000 soldiers were redeemed with a ransom of 200,000 yuan. Most of the generals who were born were sons of high-ranking families with martial arts backgrounds, but in terms of individual ransoms, this shows that the Mongols are He didn't plan to make a fortune from the soldiers, but focused on the generals who had hundreds of military honors.
After all, this is a ransom of millions. No matter from any perspective, this business can definitely be regarded as a big business that ordinary people cannot get involved in.
Moreover, due to the status of both parties, the imperial court could not directly discuss such embarrassing matters with the Inner Khalkhas, a part of Mongolia. It could only entrust a character with a relatively low status but who could convince the Mongols. Therefore, Feng Ziying's special identity and influence are particularly important. If someone else is born, he is either too high-born and can easily be manipulated by others, while others with lower status cannot gain the trust and recognition of the Mongolians. Feng Ziying is just right.
In other words, Feng Ziying has a pivotal position and influence in this business, which is also the key.
Wang Xifeng actually said easily that Feng Ziying could hand over this business to her. Even if she didn't do it all by herself, the mere fact that she could be given such an opportunity to a woman like her made Qin Keqing feel that there was a big mystery here.
In Qin Keqing's view, even the entire Jia family of Rongning Second House may not be able to get such an opportunity. Why should Wang Xifeng take over?
Either Wang Xifeng is talking big words and bragging, or Wang Xifeng and Feng Ziying have an ulterior relationship. Thinking of the latter, Qin Keqing's heart was agitated. Is this possible? No way?
It’s just that these words can only be kept in the heart and cannot be asked out.
"Auntie, let me say something more. Even though I don't understand this kind of thing, I still know that it's not that simple, right? This involves hundreds of martial arts families in our capital city, and the key is that we have to negotiate with the Mongols. If you are right, you also said that the Mongols previously demanded full redemption and were not willing to redeem people individually or in part. There is a huge difference."
After thinking about it, Qin Keqing still felt that he had to remind the other party that it would be terrible if Wang Xifeng believed Feng Ziying's casual remarks out of Jia Lian's affection and took them as truth.
Do you really think she is still Second Grandma Lian? What is the value of this second aunt to Feng Ziying? How could he give her such a good thing?
Wang Xifeng nodded. Qin Keqing was still an honest person. This was a subtle reminder to himself not to be deceived.
"But Qing, don't you still know what your aunt and I are doing? If I'm not completely sure, how can I dare to invite my third uncle out? Besides, this kind of thing itself can't be done in a day or two, Brother Rong. I and Jia Rui have to join in to do the work. Whether it can be done will be known after a few jobs are done in front of us. It is impossible for us to complete such a job, right? "
Wang Xifeng is confident, but her eyes are extremely confident.
"I know what you are worried about, but there are some things I can't say to you for the time being, but you believe Auntie, Auntie is about to be kicked out of the Jia family. She just wants to do something real this time and earn enough in the future. Otherwise, I will be kicked out by the Jia family, and the Wang family will not be able to go back. I can't let Heping starve to death, right? Not to mention living like a Jia family, but at least I have to live like a human being, right? Is it still necessary? Do you want to wash and cook by yourself, go out for a walk, and hold an umbrella by yourself?"
Wang Xifeng's sonorous and powerful words also shocked Qin Keqing. She didn't expect that Wang Xifeng had already begun to plan her life after leaving the Jia family, and she seemed to be confident that she would live a life of a master, which would be better than in the Jia family. Oh no, this kind of momentum made Qin Keqing both envious and moved.
Of course she doesn't want to remain silent in the backwaters of Ningguo Mansion, but she has never thought of how to solve it. If she really wants to reconcile with Jia Rong, what will she do in the future?
She didn't want to go back to the Qin family, it would only embarrass her adoptive father, but she didn't know how to live away from home, so she never thought about it, but now Wang Xifeng seems to be helping her find an unprecedented path. .
Wang Xifeng and others could tell that Qin Keqing was attracted by just a glance.
Given that Qin Keqing and Jia Rong are going through a lot of suffering now, it would be better for them to just make up with each other like him and just keep each other company. Wang Xifeng doesn't believe that he can't live in this capital city without a man.
As long as she has money, property, and that man to take care of her, she, Wang Xifeng, can live a fulfilling life!
The next thing is simple. Since Qin Keqing does not refuse, the next step is to figure out how to do this.
For these hundreds of generals, Wang Xifeng's idea was that she and Wang Zisheng came to keep an eye on those lieutenants, generals and guerrillas. There were only a dozen or so of them, but their ransom was as high as three to four hundred thousand. There is also a lot of room for maneuver. Of course, the most important ones are those below the guerrilla level, such as Dusi, Guards, General Qian, and General General. The number of these people is close to a hundred, and the rest are sentry officers and captains below General General. For such a low-level military attaché, leave it to Jia Rui.
Wang Xifeng estimated that Jia Rui couldn't do it alone. In the end, he might have to rely on Ni Er, a local snake in the capital, to operate. But how to deal with it specifically was a matter between Jia Rui and Ni Er. She only recognized Jia Rui. .
Qin Keqing's job is to help him classify, and then extract and copy the relevant situations one by one, and then briefly analyze them, and finally give them to Wang Zisheng, Jia Rong and Jia Rui to attack separately. Of course, Wang Xifeng also plans to use Lian Er Before the influence of the identity of grandma and the daughter of the Wang family has completely subsided, it would be a good practice to find some female relatives who had some contact with them.
With Qin Keqing's help, this job seems much easier, but there are still many difficulties involved.
For example, this involves many martial arts in addition to the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises. Wang Xifeng does not know about them. Even though he has heard of these family names, they are still unfamiliar. Even Jia Rong also needs time to slowly inquire and understand, and confirm Depending on the situation, the target will come directly to the door, or use other people to bridge the gap.
On the contrary, those handed over to Jia Rui should be simpler. Most of the low-level military attachés such as sentry officers and captains have nothing to do with Wu Xun, or even if their ancestors were Wu Xun, they have long since declined, or they are just The concubine left the branch and did not have a close relationship with the master's family. On the contrary, these people restrained themselves and went directly to the house for discussion.
************
As the Mongols withdrew from the border wall, the entire Shuntian Mansion could finally calm down.
However, the pressure inside and outside the capital city has not eased at all. Among the three to four hundred thousand refugees, more than one hundred thousand have returned to their hometowns one after another, but the remaining two hundred thousand refugees are basically the kind of people who have always been at home. Although they were impoverished, they were driven out by such a wave of war. They would only freeze to death and starve to death if they went back, so this group of people gathered outside the capital city and refused to return home.
As the city gates of the capital began to be lifted and sealed, these refugees also wanted to go to the city to beg for food, which also brought great trouble and pressure to the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen.
Relief is of course necessary, but when will these few bowls of porridge come to an end? To let these people go back, it involves how they live. Even their houses were destroyed by the Mongols. Even if they sold their children and married women, they would rather stay in the capital city to have a better chance of survival.
Cui Jingrong looked at the men, women, and children outside the sedan who were running along the corner with straw tags and ropes. They were crying, numb, dazed, and curled up motionless, as if they were in a city.
Such a spontaneous population black market can be seen both inside and outside several city gates. Previously, Shuntian government offices and Wanping and Daxing county government offices had tried to disperse it, but what happened after the dispersal?
Who can control their livelihood? The snow is getting denser every time. Maybe one night, many people here will be reduced automatically, and countless people will freeze to death.
"We can't delay it any longer." As the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Cui Jingrong thought to himself: "This time I must persuade Brother Chengfeng and ask him to raise it at the cabinet. The longer it is delayed, the more trouble it will become."
The sedan slowly entered Gongxian Hutong.
This place is close to the Royal Horse Prison and Yanxi Temple, and to the east is Longfu Temple Street. It can be regarded as a place of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.
"Master, we're here." The chief attendant whispered outside the sedan curtain, and opened the sedan curtain.
“Hmm.” Cui Jingrong straightened his clothes and got off the sedan. He looked up and saw that a small sedan had landed on the opposite side. A man wearing a scarlet robe and official uniform also just got off the sedan.
“Hey, why is he here too?” Cui Jingrong was slightly startled, but he didn’t care too much. Naturally, there would be many people coming to Mr. Qige’s house. Ordinary people would have to send their invitations a day or two in advance.
