Chapter 1646 The Beginning of Renzijuan’s Lineup (3)
"Well, he looks like he's in a hurry. I don't quite understand what he's doing." Wei Ruolan said casually: "Judging from the way he's restless, even if he's going to Xuzhou for a few years, Jingzhong Objects There is no need to deal with it, right? Can his father still be the commander-in-chief of Huaiyang Town for the rest of his life? Will he have to return to Beijing sooner or later? "
Feng Ziying was a little confused for a while. She always felt that there was something wrong here, but her mind was a little confused and she hadn't sorted it out yet.
“Is he going to sell all the mansions in Beijing?” Feng Ziying asked hesitantly.
"Probably not. He was just disposing of some old things in the mansion. I heard him casually say that some things were old and worn out, and it would be better to dispose of them. But I have seen the person who spoke to him. His surname is Leng. It seems He is a relative of one of the servants in the Rongguo Mansion. It turned out that he handled some mansion items for the Shi family and the Ma family. Ziying, do you have any impression? The Shi family of the repairing country and the Ma family of the ruling family collapsed two years ago. We can only sell various objects and mansions to maintain our lives. That’s the one named Leng..."
Wei Ruolan's words made Feng Ziying's heart move, "Are you talking about Leng Zixing?"
Isn't the beginning of the book of "Dream of Red Mansions", just to introduce the second government of Rongning to Jia Yucun with the mouth of the antique dealer of Leng Zixing? This Feng Ziying is still fondly remembered as Zhou Rui's son-in-law, and Zhou Rui and his wife came here as Wang's companions, and they have the most trust in Wang's family. In other words, Zhou Rui and his wife should be members of the Wang family.
"I don't know his specific name, but I know that his surname is Leng, and he has some connections with the Rongguo Mansion. In the city, he mainly helps tinker with antiques for a living. In the past two years, he seems to have changed his family and followed a big shot. He is very happy with antiques, Farms and houses are being built,..."
Wei Ruolan shook his head, "I have nothing to do with these people, but you also know that after the great defeat of the Beijing camp last year, many people had to go to the Mongols to redeem their people. Many families were actually made of horse **** skin. , In fact, I don’t even have any savings in the house, so I can only sell my family’s money for money. The man surnamed Leng must have earned a lot there,..."
Feng Ziying didn't know that there was such a thing here. He thought that only Wang Xifeng, Jia She, and Jia Rui made a fortune from it. Unexpectedly, this industry chain extended to **** sales and other things that wanted to redeem people's houses. In his hometown, Leng Zixing can also make a fortune from it.
It seems that the war between the Nei Khalkhas last year really made things miserable for the people in Jingying. Many people exhausted their family resources to redeem themselves, but they were the initiators of this.
It's just that I am helpless. If I don't give the Inner Khalkha people a sufficient reward under such circumstances, it may really turn into a disaster. It is not impossible that most of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp will be slaughtered. Feng Ziying would rather He chose to pay a large sum of money to save this bunch of losers, but he didn't want to see that happen.
There was no impression of Leng Zixing Feng Ziying. He went to Rongguo Mansion so much and never saw it once. He didn't care about it before, but today Wei Ruolan said that he was a little vigilant.
Zhou Rui is from the Wang family, but Leng Zixing is Zhou Rui's son-in-law. It's hard to say how close the relationship between the two is.
If Wang Ziteng really had any objections, I'm afraid the families in Beijing would be well prepared. Of course, it doesn't rule out that Wang Ziteng would be more cautious. He had already dealt with it long ago, leaving behind some old and hard-core items that were difficult to dispose of. It can also cover people's ears and eyes.
Logically speaking, Chen Jixian shouldn't be like this. Listening to Master Qi's words, shouldn't Chen Jixian go out to control Huaiyang under the instructions of the emperor and the court? Why did Chen Yejun sneak back quietly to dispose of the things at home, and he was looking for Zhou Rui's son-in-law?
There seems to be a vague thread connecting it, which makes Feng Ziying always feel that she wants to capture something in it, but there is still something missing, and she still cannot figure it out.
Until Wei Ruolan left, Feng Ziying was still deep in thought, sorting out the joints here.
******
After sending Zhen Yingjia to the gate and watching him board the car and leave, Jia Yucun returned to the flower hall thoughtfully, picked up the remaining cup of tea again, and began to taste it slowly.
The tea from my hometown is better. If Zhen Yingjia hadn't come, Jia Yucun would really not be willing to serve this kind of tea to guests.
This Zhen Yingjia is a narrow-minded villain. Jia Yucun knew that if we can't talk about things today, the other party will definitely come back disappointed, so he brought out the purple bamboo shoot tea from his hometown to entertain the guests. As expected, Zhen Yingjia responded to this He was full of praise for the tea, and even gave him a bag before leaving, but the other party walked away angrily with a cold face, and of course, he didn't leave the tea behind.
“Sir, Mr. Zhen is gone?” the capable man who had been standing aside asked cautiously.
"Well, let's go, why don't we go? We can't talk anymore, so why are we sitting here? He is also a face-saving person. He always feels that Gu Tianjun didn't have a good deal when he came, and Zhu Guozhen didn't have a good deal when he came. He came to talk. What a great deal of face you have gained, you will naturally be able to claim credit after you return, but unexpectedly we still haven’t reached an agreement." Jia Yucun said calmly.
"It's too early to say this now. I am an official of the imperial court. It is the imperial officials who can appoint me, not the Nanjing officials. Why should I listen to them?" Jia Yucun's face showed a look of defiance mixed with disdain. , "It would be ridiculous to just talk to me here for a while and ask me to clarify my attitude."
"But sir, they have the final say in Jiangnan. If they refuse to cooperate, you will be unable to move forward in Jinling Mansion. Even if you say you can't leave the government office, it won't be enough." The capable man sighed, "You have also suffered a loss. People who were framed back then had to retire. If they want to repeat the story now, I'm afraid they can still do it."
A dark cloud passed over Jia Yucun's face, and he didn't speak for a while.
He knew that what the other party said was true. It would not be difficult for people like Tang Binyin, Gu Tianjun and Zhen Yingjia to join forces to overthrow himself as the governor of Jinling.
I have not been spotless in the past few years. It is not difficult for local snakes like them to find out what they are doing.
But Jia Yucun knew that the other party had not yet thought of completing the matter and was still evaluating and weighing it.
In the past few years, I have worked hard to manage Jinling. The magistrates of the following counties are all my own people. In the government offices, from the prime minister to the general magistrate and the recommended officials, most of them are people I recommended or promoted, and they are considered my confidants. , If you really want to move yourself, you have to consider your own backlash.
And they don’t want to get a paralyzed Jinling Mansion, let alone stir things up and cause an uncontrollable situation, so now everyone is fighting wolves with straw - they are afraid of both sides, and they are not determined to completely break up.
But this time point is gradually approaching, and everyone is paying attention to the changes in the situation in the capital city.
They are also looking to see if they will actually give in under pressure or temptation.
“If they really want to do this, the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate would have been here long ago.” Jia Yucun said coldly: “It shows that they are still hesitant in their hearts.”
"But sir, what are you thinking about?" The capable man said anxiously: "Is it because the letter from Mr. Feng of the capital made you hesitate?"
Jia Yucun did not respond to this question.
This guy is a little presumptuous, asking questions that should and should not be asked with just one mouth.
But think about it, I just came to Jinling Mansion to take up the post, I am not familiar with the place, and the forces in Jinling City are intertwined, and I know nothing about it. If this person had not taken the initiative to help, I would have been a little blind at the time. Over the years, this person has been in trouble. Also loyal and hardworking.
What's more, this person is also an old acquaintance, and it seems that there is some fate.
When I was living a miserable life in the Calabash Temple, this man was also working as a novice monk in the temple to earn a living, but I didn't expect that a few years later, the two of them would meet in the Jinling Mansion Yamen, and they would actually get married. As a disciple, he also has a deep understanding of the connections and backers of dignitaries in various places in Jinling City. Thanks to his advice and guidance, he has been able to steadily control the situation in Jinling Mansion over the past few years, and will not be ruined by the Zhen family. The new four major families led by the leader.
This person is good at everything, but his temper is a bit arrogant and impetuous.
It turns out that before I came to Jinling Mansion, this guy was not doing well in Jinling Mansion. The main reason was that his mouth was so offensive that the scribes and servants in the yamen couldn't see him, and almost squeezed him out of the yamen.
Thanks to his coming, this guy has secured his position. He is also aware that the world is difficult and dangerous, so he is a lot more cautious. However, nature is easy to change and hard to change. From time to time, the old state will still relapse, and it needs to be beaten from time to time.
However, over the years, I have not treated him as an outsider, and I have not concealed many secrets from him. This guy also knows about Feng Ziying's letters to him.
Seeing that Jia Yucun's face turned slightly gloomy, Yan Mingxiang quickly slapped his mouth and said, "Sir, I'm a little presumptuous. Please forgive me, but I remember that in the past two years, I didn't have much correspondence with you, Mr. Feng. It’s only one or two letters a year, but since last year, it seems to have suddenly become more frequent. You said that when he was the Prime Minister of Shuntian, he had a lot of correspondence with you. After all, one was in Nanjing and the other in Beijing. But last year he was still in the permanent office. Are you a co-president of Pingfu? Why do I keep writing to you, but when we were in the Hanlin Academy, we only talked in general terms?"
Jia Yucun snorted softly, "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? You are just a frog in a well with a superficial view. How can you know Ziying's ability?"
"Haha, sir, don't mention it. Even in Jinling City, Xiao Feng's reputation is often spread. I have heard your Excellency mention it many times. You should have gotten acquainted with him during the Linqing Civil War, right? Your Excellency was still in despair at that time. Well, there was also a female young master who was the censor of salt inspection in the Huaihe River. Why is this Lord Feng so optimistic about your future?" Yan Mingxiang looked puzzled, "And this Lord was just at that time. How old are you, twelve or thirteen years old?"
