Jinling City, the old house of the Wang family.

The three elders of the Wang family invited the four elders of the Jia family, the two elders of the Shi family, and the two elders of the Xue family to take their seats with a smile.

After the four families and the capital were divided into sects, the Jinling sect was controlled by these elders.

The clan leader has never been selected, because they knew that if they really chose a clan leader, his identity, official position, and status were not as good as those in the capital, and he would be subject to the control at that time.

Therefore, we control the family by using the old age.

First, when you are older, and second, a few people will not be suppressed by the capital.

It has to be said that in the fight for power and tricks, the Chinese people have always been extremely smart.

"please!"

"Please!"

After some courtesy, eleven old people sat down.

After talking about the cold treatment of Jia Qiang at the banquet yesterday, the veteran Wang family sighed: "It's not easy to contact. In his generation, there is no family affection in his eyes? He treats us as nothing, as if we are poor relatives begging for food to fight Qiufeng."

The old man from the second family shook his head and said, "Maybe because he is too young, he has all gotten great-grandchildren, so he deliberately keeps him cold? Alas, he is very alienated."

The old man from the three families sneered: "I didn't point at the Beijing area to eat a grain of rice, and I didn't spend a penny on them. Why do they have that kind of virtue?"

Everyone in the Shi family laughed and said, "Don't you know what kind of style this young and successful marquis is in the capital? The emperor values ​​him, and the empress is even more favored. She is companion of the prince, and she does not take anyone seriously except Lin Ruhai. The people from the two Duke's mansions in the Jia family's capital are almost taken by him. Isn't your Wang family the same?"

Everyone in the Wang family smiled bitterly and said, "Like the Wang family, Zi Teng, the capital city, was ordered to make a birthday, and a few children were sent to celebrate his birthday. As a result, he was beaten halfway to death, but he was driven back to Jinling. They said that the marquis of the Jia family thought they were from the south, so they were guarded against them and forced Zi Teng to drive them back. I heard that your Shi family was also being scrupulous?"

The two old masters of the Shi family shook their heads and said, "The two marquises in the Shi family are very unsatisfied. They are both Wuhou, but they are not as good as a young man, so it's better not to mention it."

Everyone in the Xue family smiled bitterly and said, "Not to mention the Xue family, the plump font left by their ancestors has been taken over by people."

The Jia family always said indifferently: "The sects in Beijing are all incompetent, and they have almost no place to stand on the outside, and they can't suppress a small wild beast from the inside. They look down on our sect in the south and run to the south to get to the south."

Everyone in the Wang family shook their heads and said, "Everyone, please calm down. At this age, why bother with a young man? Since this young powerful man came here this time, we have to take advantage of this opportunity to get things done. After this incident, we want to find an opportunity to make him nod and agree. It is so difficult!"

Everyone in the Jia family frowned and said, "Di Rong Gong meant that it was about the new law?"

Everyone in the Wang family nodded and said, "If we really check the land and remeasure the land, we will be in great trouble!"

The old man from the Shi family also said with a serious expression: "Now we are still hiding under the bride of our ancestors, and we don't have to pay much tax on the land under our name. But if we re-measure the land and register the yellow book, the government will find that we have already divided the sects from the capital. Our land is not in the name of the Duke's Mansion or the Marquis Mansion. The land of the Wang family's Jinling houses is not in the name of Wang Ziteng, right? In this way, we must pay taxes and even perform labor service! This is a major event that will cost us old people and cut off our foundation!"

The old man from the Wang family nodded and said, "Yes, the government cannot succeed. But what should I do?"

The Shi family said, "It's useless to think of other ways. I can only look at the young marquis of the Jia family. He is successful, and Lin Ruhai behind him is the prime minister of the current dynasty. As long as he agrees, Jinling Mansion will not treat our four families. Even if the Governor General of Liangjiang cannot force him, otherwise he will not be able to be the official!"

Everyone in the Jia family frowned and said, "But look at his current attitude... When he arrived in Jinling, he didn't even have my door. I sent someone to invite them to a family banquet, and his personal guards only said that they were not here..."

The boss of the Wang family laughed and said, "It's true that Brother Fengze doesn't know that they went to Xuanwu Lake to take a boat trip today?"

The Jia family sighed and said, "I mean that he doesn't take us elders seriously at all. Yes, even in Beijing, even Enhou and Cunzhou want to beat him and scold him. The eighth room in the middle of the capital made him unable to lift his head... How could we ask him to agree to this matter?"

The second elder of the Xue family suddenly laughed and said, "I'm afraid this matter will still fall on the Wang family..."

The old stranger of the Wang family said: "Why did it fall on the Wang family? The Wang family had just invited him, but he had no good face..."

The second family of Xue family smiled and said, "Although the second grandmother of your Wang family is an aunt, she is very close to him..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three elders of the Wang family looked a little unfair.

This kind of thing is like meat rotting in a pot and covering the lid with the pot, folding the arm into the sleeve, hiding it if it can be hidden.

Although it is uncommon for every household to say this, it still makes people feel ugly when they say it in person.

The three elders of the Wang family are not fuel-efficient, and they smiled and said without a smile: "The Xue family is also successful. Didn't the legitimate lady in the Xue family's room be promised to someone by the Xue family? She is not the main house..."

The faces of the two elders of the Xue family immediately turned dark.

Everyone in the Jia family waved their hands and advised him, "Oh, let's stop quarreling, we should think of ways."

The Wang family said, "According to my will, it is better to open a ancestral temple and worship ancestors. I also have to worship ancestors. I don't believe that he can be cold and treat our ancestors coldly? As long as he is willing to kowtow, he can declare to the public that we have no family between the sects and the capital city! None of them believe that, just go to the capital to ask! We will still keep the land in their names, but in fact, it is still for us. I don't believe that, can they still run back to compete for land?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone laughed and said that they were great kindness.

After a group of people discussed the matter of worshiping ancestors, the two elders of the Wang family said again: "Then... what should we explain the matter of the Cao Gang? I was wondering whether he would be so cold to us because of the Suzhou Prefecture? I heard that he was extremely angry in Suzhou Prefecture..."

"What does the matter in Suzhou Prefecture have to do with us? We have just collected some filial piety money from others and said a few words occasionally. Just this can be relied on us?"

The two old members of the Jia family shook their heads and said disdainfully.

The old man from Shi Jiajia reminded: "If you want to inflict a crime, you will be in trouble!"

The two old members of the Jia family sneered and said, "I want to see, what is the crime of wanting to be punished? I have been separated for several lifetimes. What can the prince do to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud scream and scolding from outside, and the sound became louder and louder, until a scream sounded, as if it was shattering, and his feet were in a mess.

The eleven old people in the family looked solemn, and the old people in the Wang family said in a deep voice: "Three, go out and see what's going on."

As soon as the three elders of the Wang family got up, they heard the outer door being kicked open with a "bang". Countless two generals and model soldiers in the Governor's Office entered with swords.

"According to the order of the Governor General, the major criminal case of the Suo Nacaisheng and the severance of the censorship are the main criminals. Those who dare to resist will be killed without any revenge!"

The Governor of Liangjiang has a flag of kings in his hand, which is equivalent to Shangfang's sword.

When things are urgent, all the under-ranks of the third rank can be executed first and then reported, let alone a group of so-called family elders?

Under the sword and war, a group of family members who have lived a pampered life for the rest of their lives were all dissatisfied. No matter what "the prince does to me"...

...

Jinling City, Ningguo Mansion.

In the back room, Feng Jie'er, Daiyu, Tanchun and others looked at a woman who nodded and smiled with a little tricky look, and there was also a young girl who was elegant, steady, gentle and peaceful.

This woman is the wife of Mrs. Xing Zhong, the brother of Mrs. Xing.

This girl is the daughter of Xing Zhong and his wife, Xing Xiuyan.

Feng Jie'er and Daiyu were entertaining Song's seat, while the eyes of the others fell on Xing Xiuyan.

It was cold this time, and Xing Xiuyan only wore an old felt cloak. Because it was cold, she looked like she was hunched.

Compared with the wealthy daughters in this room with brilliant embroidery and magnificent embroidery, wearing gold, jade and silk, she is really humble and has no sense of existence.

However, what is interesting is that judging from Xing Xiuyan's calm and gentle gaze, she did not seem to feel embarrassed, nor did she introduce herself, nor did she have any expression of envy and jealousy.

This is the only point that lets the girls look at her differently.

Tanchun asked Xiangyun in a low voice: "Who do you think she looks like?"

Xiangyun replied quietly, "I always feel like a person, but I can't remember it... Do you also think she looks like? Which one... Could it be Sister Bao?"

Tanchun shook her head and smiled, "It's just a little bit, not a whole. Look at her, does she look like the princess of the Yin family? She has such a fairy-like quality, even though she has a unique smoky and cloudy color. She is neither humble nor arrogant, even though she... she doesn't feel embarrassed or complaining. This is even more rare, and she is better than me."

When Aunt Zhao did something unbearable, Tanchun wished she could not mask her face with a gauze and never see anyone again.

But this may not be correct. Just as Jia Qiang once said that Aunt Zhao’s background prevented her from knowing the right measure everywhere like a lady from studying and polite.

Such people do ridiculous things, which is actually a kind of tragedy, and should be given mercy rather than shame.

Tanchun understood the truth, but she still couldn't...

And at the moment, Xing Xiuyan seems to be much more calm.

Song's face was a little deformed, and he kept complaining: "I can't survive anymore. I have rented a house in Panxiang Temple, Xuanmeng, Suzhou for ten years, but now I have no money to rent the house. I can only raise some money and go to Beijing to join my aunt. I happened to hear that the nobles of the Jia family were in Jinling, so we begged to come."

These words immediately made Feng Jie'er and Daiyu feel tricky.

Daiyu thought about it and felt that this matter still depends on how Feng Jie'er dealt with.

At least on the surface, Feng Jie'er is still Mrs. Xing's daughter-in-law, so she has to care about Song's call him aunt.

But how could Feng Jie'er agree with such an elder in her heart? Wouldn't she find herself uncomfortable...

Even Mrs. Xing went in, not to mention that Xing Zhong was not Mrs. Xing's biological brother, but just a cousin.

Feng Jie'er smiled and was about to speak, but saw Yuanyang's mother Jin Cai's family coming in quickly and cried, "It's amazing. The mansion has advanced troops and taken away our family, my son and two managers!"

Everyone was shocked. Soon after, they saw Jia Qiang coming in, and said with a heavy expression: "Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue families in Jinling were involved in a major case. Tonight, the Governor General's Office of Liangjiang will be dispatched to acquire people. You don't have to worry about anything. If they are really guilty, then it's just fine. But if they are not guilty, the Governor General's Office of Liangjiang must give me an explanation! Humph!"

Feng Jie'er was confused when she heard this. She was extremely worried about the situation of her parents and brothers at home, so she hurriedly asked.

Jia Qiang's face became more and more solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "We have also been arrested in prison..."

"ah!!"

When Feng Jie'er heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning. She then looked at Jia Qiang in tears and cried, "Qian'er..."

Daiyu pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Qiang, what kind of big case is it? You are not saying that Sister Feng's father is very honest and honest, is he implicated in the misunderstanding?"

Jia Qiang sighed and said slowly: "It's Caisheng who cuts that case."

"What?"

"oops!"

The girls were shocked when they heard this and exclaimed.

But Feng Jie'er forgot her curse on those bad guys before, and her legs were weak. She pulled Jia Qiang's arm and cried and begged: "Qian'er, at least save their lives!"

When Jia Qiang heard this, he was about to speak, but an old lady came in and said, "Marty, there was someone outside. It was sent by Master Lin from the capital. I told you about something urgent. He is now at the door..."

Upon hearing this, Jia Qiang first patted Feng Jie'er holding his hand. After Feng Jie'er let go, Jia Qiang went out.

The sisters heard something that made them shattered from outside the door: "Mr. Marquis, the young man came to the court overnight to send a message to the court. After the Marquis left the capital, the second wife of Rongfu sent a blood letter, accusing the Marquis of disobedience and unfiliality, plotting to murder the Grandpa Jing and Grandpa Rong of the East Mansion, harshly abused the two masters of the Western Mansion, and banned the mother of the imperial concubine, and many more evil crimes. Now there are a lot of criticisms in the court and the country, and all the royal family, nobles, civil and military officials have written letters, and they all want to behead the Marquis to safeguard the world. The Prime Minister asked the Marquis to prepare early!"
