Chapter 396 Chapter C
On the way to the Jia Mansion, Feng Ziying was still wondering why the Jia Mansion was so eager and attentive this time.
Even if he made great achievements in the Western Expedition to quell the rebellion, he wouldn't let the Rongguo Mansion, which had little relationship with him, behave like this, right?
When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Feng Ziying basically judged that there must be something fishy in Jia's house, and most likely he wanted something from himself. But the question is, what can there be in Jia's house that wants from him?
Baoyu or Jia Huan and Jia Lan's study? None of them look alike.
Or looking for a job? It doesn't seem like it, then Jia Lian should come to him directly. Jia Zheng definitely can't be so eager.
I really can’t think of it, so I’m too lazy to think about it. If the soldiers come to block the water and cover up the soil, is it possible that they can’t let themselves out of the gate of Jia’s house, and can’t they be served by swordsmen and axes?
The few hours spent in the palace yesterday were very effective.
I dare not say anything else, but Feng Ziying believes that she left a very deep impression on Emperor Yonglong, which can be felt from Emperor Yonglong's attitude when he left.
And many of my opinions are probably on the heart of Emperor Yonglong. Whoever can get money for Emperor Yonglong at this time will be the number one hero in the world.
It is estimated that in the following period, Emperor Yonglong may have frequent court discussions with a group of important ministers to study specific and feasible strategies. Of course, before this, the attitudes of the north, south, and neutral parties must be unified first.
Feng Ziying rode to Jia's mansion on horseback. When he came back from Western Xinjiang, he liked riding horses even more.
Jia Lian and Baoyu were both waiting at the door. When they saw Feng Ziying coming, they came up to greet them enthusiastically. Feng Ziying threw the reins of the horse to Ruixiang and asked him to take the horse to the stable. She walked side by side with Jia Lian and Baoyu.
"Second brother Lian, Baoyu, I came back late last night. I heard Jin Chuan'er say that you have been waiting for a long time. I'm sorry." Feng Ziying was very polite, without the arrogance and arrogance that they were worried about, and she still looked like before. This made Jia Lian and Bao Yu feel relieved.
"Haha, Ziying, you are busy with business. I heard that you have entered the palace?" Jia Lian was very interested. Even though Jia Baoyu had always disdained official career and economy, he was still a little curious when he heard that he had entered the palace to meet the emperor.
"Well, I am reporting on some specific matters regarding the Western Expedition and countering the rebellion. I was entrusted by Mr. Chai and was notified by the palace yesterday." Feng Ziying did not hide anything. This is not a secret. "The emperor is very interested in the situation in Western Xinjiang, so I asked more questions and delayed longer."
"Ziying, this is a good thing that no one can ask for. Many people may not be able to see the emperor even once after being an official for their whole life. You are only sixteen years old, and you are qualified to see the emperor alone. You can't tell the truth. It's so enviable." Jia Lian and Bao Yu accompanied Feng Ziying inside and went directly to Rongxi Hall.
Feng Ziying feels that there is indeed something serious. Going to Rongxi Hall to discuss matters should be a big deal.
“Second brother Lian, Baoyu, do you think Uncle Shishi and Uncle Zhengshi have something to do with me today?”
"Ziying, we have something serious to do. We'll find out later. It's better to wait until the two masters meet with you in person." Jia Lian didn't say much and directly blamed Jia She and Jia Zheng.
Glancing at Jia Lian's expression, Feng Ziying said nothing, and the three of them went directly to the Hall of Rongxi. Jia She and Jia Zheng both greeted Feng Ziying at the door of the Hall of Rongxi. Feng Ziying saluted politely and asked Jia She and Jia Zheng to greet her. They all nodded with satisfaction.
After sitting down, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu sat opposite Feng Ziying knowingly.
Jia She and Jia Zheng did not go around in circles, and there was no room for going around in such matters. They went straight to the point and introduced the situation the day before yesterday. They also talked about some of the pleas from everyone, including the Ma family, hoping that Feng Ziying could learn from it. Circle.
As soon as the topic started, Feng Ziying understood what was going on.
The Shi family has been crucified. Shi Guangjue has implicated too many people. Not only the Shi family itself, but also a large group of people, including civil servants and military generals. Just based on this, the Shi family should be finished. It can save a few people. The head is considered lucky.
The Ma family is also involved. Feng Ziying and the censor who returned have met once in the past few days and have a rough understanding of the situation. Needless to say, Ma Xia himself deserves death, but some of the people involved are not too deep. , or the fault is mainly on himself.
"Uncle Shi Shi, Uncle Zheng Shi, I roughly understand some of the meanings of you two, Wang Gong and Niu Gong, but you also know that I am just a small character who is reported back by the two adults Chai Yang. Many times I am just a The function of my eyes, ears and mouth is to report what I saw, heard and thought in Western Xinjiang to the emperor and the cabinet. It is not my nephew’s turn to intervene in other decisions.…”
Feng Ziying's words certainly did not satisfy Jia She and Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng shook his head: "Ziying, the Jia and Feng families belong to the same family, and my uncle will not go around in circles in front of you. This means that this matter concerns our entire martial arts community." Life or death is not an exaggeration. Both the Shi family and the Ma family are the four kings and eight male families. They can be regarded as the pillars of our dynasty since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. But now something big has happened to the Shi family. Not even your Uncle Wang and Uncle Niu can do anything about it. That is You can't live with your own sins, but the Ma family's and Ma Xia's affairs are not that complicated. Ma Shang also said that the Ma family and Ma Xia do not have much involvement. Even if they do, they are just ordinary contacts, but he is afraid that someone will make false accusations. Someone took advantage of the situation and added insult to injury..."
Jia Zheng has performed beyond his level. He usually doesn't care about these things, but this time Wang Ziteng, Niu Jizong, Chen Ruiwen and others specially explained it, and he was entrusted by Ma Shang, so he had to bite the bullet.
Feng Ziying frowned and said calmly: "Shibo, Shishu, there is no need to mention the Shi family's affairs. I'm afraid we can't take care of them. As for the Ma family, what you are talking about about framed accusations and taking advantage of the situation, I think the Procuratorate and Longjin Lieutenant will definitely be able to find out..."
“Ziying, that’s not what you said.” Jia Zheng pondered for a moment. He had been thinking about these words all night.
"You also know that the Ma family, a century-old family with four houses and a total of more than 1,000 people and close to 2,000 people, is more than our two Rongning families combined. Ma Xia is a person who is disliked, even when he is an official in Ningxia Town. Relying on the operation of the family, the money he made only enriched his house, and the rest was just a piece of soup. But his house was not easy to worry about. His wife was the sister of Qiu Shiben. As a result, the Qiu family divorced his wife within a few years because the Qiu family had nothing to do with it. This also caused the two in-laws of Ma and Qiu to become enemies and become feuding families. Later, Ma Xia remarried the daughter of the Jiang family of Pingyuan Marquis. The Jiang family accompanied a concubine, but they still had no family. , the Ma family took in seven or eight more concubines, but none of them came out..."
At this point, Jia Zheng's face turned red and he couldn't say any more, "Baoyu, you go out first."
Jia Baoyu was at a loss and didn't know what his father meant.
Jia She was a little impatient, "Second brother, Baoyu is not young anymore. Doesn't this kind of dirty and dirty things happen to people in high-ranking families? He will grow up in the future, and he must be aware of it..."
Jia Zheng was speechless, but finally waved his hand. He didn't know whether he wanted Jia Baoyu to go out or not, so Jia Baoyu sat down again.
Jia She had already picked up the topic: "Ma Xia was the third wife. Later, the eldest brother, Ma Shang's son, had an affair with Ma Xia's concubine. Ma Shu, the fourth wife, also had an affair with Ma Xia's concubine. Fornication, in short, everything was messy, and Ma Xia had three sons and two daughters. Ma Xia himself may not know who they belong to. Only those women can tell clearly, and Ma Xia doesn't care..."
Feng Ziying was slightly surprised, but Jia Lian remained expressionless. Apparently he had been used to such things for a long time, but Baoyu blushed and became restless.
“What the Ma family is worried about is that once Ma Xia feels that he is not protected, he will bite randomly, and this time I am afraid that the entire Ma family will be dragged into the water..."
Feng Ziying's face remained unchanged, and she just said calmly: "Did Ma Shang have an affair with Ma Xia's wife and concubine? And what are the intentions of the second wife?"
These two sentences get to the point. It is not uncommon for such a big family to do some dirty things. Borrowing seeds is also common in big families. If there are ordinary people in the family, it is nothing more than kicking them out. That's all, even if Ma Shu had an affair with Ma Xia's concubine, it wouldn't be a big deal. Ma Shu on the left and right was also a member of the fourth family, so he didn't have any chance of seizing the title, and he didn't have any favors. In a word, it was all Household matters.
But if Ma Shang, as the eldest general Weiyuan, commits such a despicable act, and is bitten by a dying person like Ma Xia, the imperial court may take the opportunity to erase your title.
And maybe the second roommate has some unrealistic ideas that will muddy the waters, which could drag the entire Ma family into trouble.
Hearing Feng Ziying's two sentences go straight to the key points, Jia She and Jia Zheng's eyes flashed with surprise. They thought Feng Ziying was a good scholar, but they never thought that she was also well aware of the subtleties of the intrigues in this family.
Jia She was still pondering and said: "For such things, I don't think Ma Shang will expose his own ugliness, but it is just some activities in this area. There is also Ma Duan, the second roommate. According to Ma Shang, he has never had a good relationship with him. Mu, and Ma Shang is the daughter of his father’s first wife, while Ma Duan, Ma Xia and Ma Shu are all sons of his father’s Xu Xian, but they are all legitimate sons,…”
Jia She said it vaguely, but basically it was there.
One bite from a thief will penetrate you to the bone, not to mention that you have such a thing, and at such a critical moment, if you really have to deal with it all at once, then you will really become meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by the court. .
The collapse of the Ma family will be caused by dog-eating dogs within their own family. It is Ma Xia's own business alone, and it is really not easy to endanger the entire Ma family.
