If Wang Ziteng is a dragon of the Wang family, then Wang Zisheng is not as good as a worm in terms of character or ability.
The scary thing is not that he is incompetent, but that he is incompetent and arrogant, and has always been holding the prince back.
But the strange thing is that Wang Ziteng has been protecting this stupid brother with all his life.
Jia Cong once carefully analyzed the reasons with Mr. Sheda. Except that Wang Zisheng had Wang Ziteng's handle, there was really only one possibility - maybe this was "true love".
Seeing that this public case involved Baochai's biological uncle, even if Mr. He was not afraid of others' opinions, he still had to consider his grandson's wife's feelings.
The old Wang family has always had this weird tradition of plotting against his niece.
Who was the last one to be plotted? Oh, wasn’t the Xianfei Empress sent to the palace by her own uncle Wang Ziteng?
If it weren't for the men of the Jia family, the eldest daughter of the royal family would have died of old age and helplessness in the palace.
He Yaomin knew that it was not appropriate to continue the matter, so he waved his hand and asked his servants to take Chen Zhiwen to the woodshed and lock him up, and then asked the ceremony officer to continue singing the ceremony and proceed with the wedding first.
Fortunately, the sewage on Baochai's body has been washed away. As for the gossip of the Wang family and the Xue family, it doesn't matter whether it is spread or not.
No one dared not give face to Uncle Zong, and the He family's wedding banquet was still lively.
At night, He Yaomin's grandfather, grandson, father and son sent the guests away one by one, and then Master Shangshu returned to the study with a cold face and rolled up his sleeves.
"Let someone deliver a letter to Wang Ziteng early tomorrow morning. I'll wait for him at home to come over and give me an explanation!"
…
Except for Jia Cong, who was dragged by He Chong to marry him, the rest of the people in Rongguo Mansion were Baochai's natal family.
The old lady and her family spent a lively day at Xue's house. They returned home in the evening and heard about what happened at He's house.
"You mean, Bao Yatou's matter was caused by Wang Zisheng?"
Jia Cong spread his hands and said: "Looking at the current situation, even if he is not the mastermind, it is inseparable."
He Laoguan locked up Chen Zhiwen in Shangshu Mansion, probably just waiting for Wang Ziteng to explain to him.
Regardless of whether Wang Zisheng is the mastermind or not, this incident has once again thrown the Wang family and Wang Ziteng's poor reputations to the ground and stepped on them again and again. I wonder what Wang Dahou will do with it?
We can't just use the hard-earned achievements like last time to clean up the mess for Wang Zisheng.
Jia Zheng could no longer complain about his two brothers-in-law, and Baoyu looked even more angry and embarrassed.
One is a cousin, the other is an uncle, and the uncle is plotting against his cousin. This... is so fucking outrageous.
"I don't know what my second uncle was thinking. In the last case of embezzling money to provide disaster relief, His Majesty spared the prince's life because of his great achievements in bringing peace to the West. He was only sent to serve in the imperial mausoleum. Why do you want to bring him back to the capital to do all kinds of mischief?"
Jia Zheng's dislike of Wang Zisheng has long been known. Wang Zisheng and Wang Ren are equally unworthy. The Wang family's bad reputation is mainly caused by these two people.
Seeing that her second son was indignant, the old lady took it easy.
"The affairs of the Wang family have nothing to do with us. Girl Bao is now the wife of the He family. He Yaomin is not someone to be trifled with. If Wang Ziteng cannot give him a satisfactory answer, our Minister of Rites will definitely have the ability to make the Wang family pay a heavy price. .”
He Yaomin passed the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy. After three years of studying, he was favored by the old sage and transferred to the Ministry of Rites.
Back when the old sage and his old companions were galloping across the desert, He Yaomin, a weak scholar, followed his master and defeated the seventy-two tribes on the grassland.
I have touched the handle of a knife and seen blood, I have rushed through the king's tent on the grassland and killed people. The position of Minister of Rites is held by the handle of the knife. Prince Tengdu may not be as ruthless as this one.
The girls in the room huddled together and whispered, and the old lady and her two sons set the tone for how to deal with this matter.
That is to wait and see what happens. After all, it is a matter between the He family and the Wang family, and there is no need for the Rongguo Mansion to get involved.
Master Pardon was not very concerned about this, Master Zheng was very angry, but he also understood that it would not be good for Rongguo Mansion to get involved.
It's just that the elders ignored one thing, and that was Baochai's sister group.
When children grow up, they will have their own little thoughts, not to mention that these girls in the Jia family are smarter than each other and have a lot of energy in their hands...
Early the next morning, Daiyu seemed to have gone to the yamen office of the Ministry of Rites as usual.
However, Her Royal Highness the Princess brought out quite a lot of soldiers today. On the way to escort Daiyu to the Ministry of Rites, the two hundred soldiers were divided into two groups.
The carriage continued to be escorted all the way north, while another team of a hundred people, led by the deputy commander of the personal soldiers, went straight to the Wang family in the Marquis Mansion in Ningyuan County.
As Princess Zanshan and assisting Daiyu in handling official duties, Tanchun did not go to the Rites Yamen today.
She carried a book box and came to the gate of Daxia, and asked the captain of the imperial army guarding the gate to inform the harem that she was going to Yikun Palace to pay respects to the imperial concubine.
…
Jia Cong had just arrived at the Ministry of Industry. Before the first cup of tea in the morning had been brewed, he heard from the clerk that Prince Teng, the Marquis of Ningyuan County, had arrived.
"It's really strange. He shouldn't have gone to the He family to plead guilty. Why did he come to me?"
Surprised, Jia Cong put down the tea cup in his hand and went out.
Wang Ziteng has a very good advantage. No matter what he encounters, he can remain calm and calm. It is impossible for others to get any useful information from his face.
Even though the news about the Wang family's plot against their niece had been spread in the capital yesterday, Wang Ziteng was still neither sad nor happy.
However, after meeting Jia Cong, he still showed a hint of embarrassment.
"I don't know anything about Chen Zhiwen, and it wasn't arranged by me."
After Jia Cong signaled the clerk to go out, he and Wang Ziteng were the only two people left in the room.
The two sat down and Jia Cong personally brought the tea to him and said with a smile: "Master Wang should not tell me this. Mr. He should be waiting for the master to apologize."
"I just came out of Mr. He's mansion!"
ha?
Wang Ziteng's answer was beyond Jia Cong's expectations, but he heard Wang Ziteng continue: "Yesterday evening, Bao Yatou asked the maid next to me to send me a message and told me the details of the incident. Although Wang Zisheng is me He was redeemed with money, but he was banned from my house. Originally, he had no chance to come out and cause mischief. But he is Bao Yatou's uncle after all. When Bao Yatou goes to perform the six rites, he has to show up..."
Understand, in order to ease the relationship with the Xue family and to build a good relationship with the He family, Wang Ziteng deliberately released Wang Zisheng to make a spectacle on the days when Baochai was leaving for the six rites.
Unexpectedly, good intentions turned out to be bad and gave Wang Zisheng this opportunity.
"I went to the He family as soon as the city gate opened today. Mr. He said that no matter who was behind this matter, he only targeted the Wang family. Therefore, I must find out about this matter and give an explanation to the He family."
Jia Cong nodded: "This is the right thing to do. As Sister Bao's biological uncle, Wang Zisheng tempted a man to ruin Sister Bao's reputation on her wedding day. The prince would not think that Mr. He was as easy to talk to as my family. Right? The old lady can still suppress my father for Baoyu, but Mr. He is a ruthless person who dares to drag the saint's dragon robe and spit on the star!"
Wang Ziteng was insulted by Jia Cong, but he was indeed thick-skinned. He just avoided Jia Cong's half-smiling eyes with slight embarrassment.
The two drank half a cup of tea in silence. Wang Ziteng never said why he came to the Ministry of Industry.
In the end, Jia Cong lost his patience and asked doubtfully: "Since the prince wants to find out the matter and give an explanation to the He family, it should be done sooner rather than later. If the prince doesn't investigate the case quickly, why is he here with me?" waste time?"
Alas~
With a long sigh, Prince Wang felt tired for the first time.
"Before coming to you, I originally wanted to go back to interrogate Wang Zisheng. But as soon as I came out of He Gong's house, I received news from home. The Lin family girl...Princess Wen'an sent someone to forcefully break into my house and break open the door of my house. , grabbed Wang Zisheng from the bed and took him away."
ah?
"Are you saying that my sister Lin sent people to capture Wang Zisheng?"
Jia Cong's first reaction was disbelief. How could his sister Lin, who was weak and unable to take care of herself, do something like uprooting a weeping willow?
Wait, why does he feel this is so familiar?
Isn't this the "fine tradition" of his Jia family? That's normal.
As the future wife of the Jia family, isn't it very reasonable for Sister Lin to do such a thing of breaking down people's doors?
Yes, that makes sense!
Wang Ziteng nodded again and again: "I went to the Ministry of Accounts. Your father-in-law didn't want to see me, so I could only come to ask you to come forward. No matter what, you must let me see Wang Zisheng first and ask for details..."
Putting aside Daiyu's special status, his prince, Teng Tangteng, the Marquis of Ningyuan County, went to beg a little girl. Not to mention face and so on, the main reason was that the Lin family girl probably didn't want to pay attention to him at all.
This time it was Jia Cong's turn to be embarrassed, but as a woman followed her husband, Daiyu smashed down the door of the house and arrested the person. As a man, how could he not keep the secret?
"That's it~ Lord Wang, you have to understand...Sister Lin and Sister Bao are as close as sisters. When something like this happened, Sister Lin was a little angry for a moment, and it's reasonable to do something extreme, right...Smash it Regarding your front door, I will pay for the repair..."
"I'm not here to ask you for money, Jia Cong, I'm talking to you about business!"
Wang Ziteng waved his hand and said with a solemn expression: "I know better than anyone what kind of virtue my brother has. He doesn't have the brains to do anything. He started planning and scheming against a little girl a few years ago. Don't you think it's strange?"
"It's a bit strange. To be honest, I've been thinking about this issue since Chen Zhiwen showed up yesterday. What is Wang Zisheng doing for?"
Jia Cong also put away his cynicism and tapped his fingers on the table three times.
"The prince must have heard that Chen Zhiwen and Sister Bao only met once before Mr. Xue died of illness, but since then someone has been exchanging letters with Chen Zhiwen in the name of Sister Bao. This is the first doubt."
"Secondly, Prince Wang may not know about the poem that Chen Zhiwen took out. The handwriting on the paper is almost the same as Sister Bao's own handwriting. Although Sister Bao has been in charge of the Xue family's business, except for signatures, there are very few calligraphy and paintings. If it flows out, who can do it and imitate it as if it were written by one’s own hand?”
"The third point is also the most important point. What role does Wang Zisheng play in this matter? Since the prince also thinks that he does not have the brain and ability, then who does he take orders from? And why does he plot against himself? My niece?"
The three questions raised by Jia Cong are actually also Wang Ziteng's concerns.
He was good at scheming, but he didn't expect that someone was plotting against the Wang family and the Xue family under his nose.
The most terrifying thing is that his brother actually caused such a big trouble under his strict supervision.
The more Wang Ziteng thought about it, the more tired he became, and he sighed again.
"I know all this, so I'm here to ask for your help. Princess Wen'an will most likely not let me see Prince Sheng..."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Jia Cong also wanted to find out about this matter to answer his doubts. Of course, you can also eat a whole melon by the way.
He left his official duties to the doctor of the Ministry of Industry under his command, and took Wang Ziteng to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
As expected, Daiyu had already left the Ministry of Rites. When asked, Tanchun had not come at all today. The two had to leave the imperial city and ask people to inquire about the whereabouts of Daiyu and Tanchun.
Soon, news came from the soldiers.
After Daiyu left the Ministry of Rites, she did not return to Rongguo Mansion. Instead, she took the troops all the way to Huanghuafang Lin Mansion.
The ancestors of the Lin family, three generations of princes, had been close ministers of the emperor since the founding of the People's Republic of China, so they naturally had mansions in the capital.
The large courtyard with five entrances is adjacent to the Gongyuan. It is quiet and elegant. It is a rare good location.
After the Lin family returned to Beijing, the situation in the capital was a bit chaotic at first, so Lin Ruhai took one or two of her big cats and kittens to live directly at her father-in-law's house.
Later, I was busy with official duties and did not bother to move. It was not until the spring of this year that I arranged for someone to repair the mansion. I planned to move back home after getting married in the spring.
Unexpectedly, before the master moved home, the eldest girl led a large team of people, tied up a man, dragged him into the house, and hung him on a big tree in the courtyard.
Wang Zisheng drank a lot of wine at Xue's house yesterday. After returning home in a daze, he continued his solitary life and fell asleep holding the maid in his arms.
Unexpectedly, someone broke into the door early in the morning, pulled him out of bed and dragged him out of the house.
His first reaction was that the emperor had sent dragon guards to search his house, and he was so frightened that he peed his pants.
But after he listened clearly to the negotiation between the visitor and the government, he realized that it was actually the girl from the Lin family who had sent soldiers to the Wang family to cause trouble.
He was a bit harsh at first, but he didn't expect that the Lin family's girl's personal soldiers were not used to him at all. She picked up the scabbard and said hello to her mouth...
"Girl, just leave the interrogation to my subordinates. It will be bloody for a while, and it will not be good if it stains the girl's eyes."
Jia Shiliu was specially chosen by Master Pardon for Daiyu from among the soldiers of the Jia family. He was the best in terms of ability and loyalty.
Daiyu also respected her very much, and all the princess's personal troops were led by Jia Shiliu. On weekdays, when encountering something, I would often ask for his opinion.
But at this time Daiyu shook her head: "Uncle Sixteen, I am not a delicate girl. I am the daughter-in-law of a military general's family, and she can wear armor and carry soldiers. How can I care about such trivial matters?"
Jia Shiliu grinned when he heard this. She was worthy of being the third master's wife. He liked this temper!
This is what the hostess of the Jia family should be like!
"That's alright, just ask me, girl, and my subordinates will definitely take care of it!"
Daiyu calmed down, took a deep breath quietly, and gave the order coldly.
"Come here, give Wang Zisheng fifty...twenty lashes first to make him sober..."
