"What heinous thing did our Zhen family do that deserves such cruel treatment from the court?" Zhen Yingjia was furious, "Why do you have to keep an eye on our Zhen family? Who is behind this to deal with our Zhen family?"
"You still don't know what the Zhen family has done?" Jia Jing said impatiently: "I have warned you about the private salt business a long time ago and asked you not to act arbitrarily. This business involves many local tycoons, and which of these tycoons has anything to do with the place? The officials have nothing to do with it? Now that these powerful people are involved, do you think these powerful people will not open their mouths and say nonsense? How many people are you going to kill?"
"There is also Taihe Yinzhuang. Once the Zhen family is finished, and the Ding family and the Tang family are also involved, how many people will want to take a share of it? These people don't want your Zhen family to die. Do you want to wait until there are consequences in the future? Even if you hand over all your property, Feng Ziying may not be able to save the lives of your family. Too many people hope that you will die, and your death is the most in line with everyone's wishes. Don’t you even understand such a simple truth? I don’t know how your Zhen family has survived all these years..."
Jia Jing waved his hand with a look of disdain and a bit of pity, "I'm just giving you a suggestion. It's up to you whether you accept it or not. You don't have to stay here anymore. I don't want to have anything to do with your Zhen family anymore. I'm done with it." Now, you and I should do our own thing and see the guests off."
Zhen Yingjia was so frightened that her feet and hands were numb, and she could hardly move. The fear in her heart quickly filled her heart like weeds after the rain. Is the Zhen family really going to be doomed?
He didn't even know how to get into the carriage, but the attendant helped him into the carriage, and then he leaned back on the carriage in a daze and returned home in a daze. ,
Zhen Yingjia returned home dejectedly, but she didn't even come back to her senses.
Jia Jing's words were like a poisonous snake entangled in his heart, lingering. Hand over all your family property and keep nothing? What's left for the Zhen family?
With a big family left, what should we eat, drink, and live on? Starved to death at home? There are so many people who hope that the entire Zhen family will die, leaving no one alive?
Thinking about it, it seems that this is indeed the case. If those local powerful people do not have the secret support of people in the government, how can they sell this private salt? Now if these powerful people are taken down by the imperial court, how many of them can endure and not expose these local officials?
Zhen Yingjia shuddered.
Even if all the family property is handed over, will the court let the Zhen family go? Will these people let the Zhen family go?
For a moment, Ti Yingjia didn't know what to do.
The second child went to Songjiang and has not come back yet, and it is impossible to hear back so soon. The third child has also had no news in the past few days. I don’t know what happened.
There was no one in the family who could speak to him, which made Zhen Yingjia feel a little haggard.
Sitting in the chair in the flower hall, Zhen Yingjia almost curled up in the chair and looked out of the flower hall aimlessly.
The bright sunshine was shining in the courtyard, but he could not feel the slightest warmth. Waves of coldness penetrated his whole body, making his body almost stiff.
A burst of soft footsteps came from outside the hospital. Zhen Yingjia moved her neck slightly, her eyes wandering, it was Bao Chen and Bao Yu.
He also knew that his daughter's divorce was purely an unreasonable disaster and she was implicated by her family, but he really didn't have the heart to comfort and forgive his daughter now. At this time, he just wanted to have some peace and quiet.
"Father (uncle)," Zhen Baochen and Zhen Baoyu came in and said softly.
"Bao Chen, Bao Yu, if you have nothing to do, take a good rest. I am tired as a father and want to take a rest."
Zhen Yingjia didn't want to talk to her daughter and niece about going to Jia Jing's house. If she did, it would be confusing and meaningless.
"Father, my daughter wants to talk to her father." Zhen Baochen asked directly without going around in circles, "Is it because Jia Jing didn't see his father, or didn't give his father any advice?"
Zhen Yingjia's eyes brightened, she glanced at her daughter and then said, "Why do you ask this?"
Of course, the daughter and Baoyu are very concerned about the situation of the Zhen family. If the Zhen family falls, can the daughter and Baoyu escape? "Zhen Baochen said calmly, "If possible, my daughter and Bao Yu would also like to do their part for the Zhen family."
Zhen Yingjia was slightly shocked and looked at her daughter: "Bao Chen, my father understands your intention, but now it is not just you and Bao Yu who have the will to solve the problem. Jia Yucun is double-dealing, and Jia Zijing is in a coma.
"Father, what did Jia Jing say?" Zhen Baochen interrupted her father rudely. She didn't want to chatter with her father anymore, she wanted to hear the truth from Jia Jing.
Jia Jing stayed behind closed doors, obviously he had been reminded of something. If this man really met his father and gave him advice, maybe this advice would be feasible.
Seeing that her daughter suddenly seemed to be a different person, and her tone became tough and impatient, Zhen Yingjia was a little uncomfortable for a while, Yi Baochen,
"Father! How long has this been? Why are you still so obsessed with this? Wasn't my father very decisive that day? Why are you so timid today? Does my father really want to see me and Bao Yu appear in the classroom? Are you in the office?" Zhen Baochen said angrily.
Zhen Yingjia was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be in a trance. Finally, she lowered her eyes and murmured to herself: "Jia Jing is talking nonsense.
"Father, say it, you are talking nonsense, and your daughter should listen to it." Zhen Baochen's voice softened again, "Now we have no choice."
Zhen Yingjia then said Jia Jing's words hesitantly.
Zhen Baochen's expression remained unchanged, but his fists were clenched, and his knuckles were turning white. Zhen Baoyu, although mentally prepared, still had a pale face, but there was not much fear.
"All the family property? The imperial court has such a huge appetite and wants Bao Yu to be Feng Keng's concubine? No mention of a daughter?" Zhen Baochen asked in a sweet voice.
"Maybe Jia Jing didn't know you were back." Zhen Yingjia shook her head.
Zhen Baochen raised his head, looked outside the flower hall, and thought for a while: "Father, maybe what Jia Jing said is really our only way out, but is it enough for us to hand over our property? Just as Jia Jing said, I'm afraid countless people now hope Our family must die to avoid involving too many people. Even the court wants us to die.
"But I don't want to die, why should we, the Zhen family, die?" Zhen Yingjia couldn't help roaring, "Is this what our Zhen family did? Did our Zhen family swallow the money we got? The emperor divided it up. How much did they get? Could it be that Tang Mu and the others took less? And...
Zhen Baochen's expression changed, "Father, what's the point of talking about this now? We can only face this reality now and think of ways to deal with it!"
Zhen Yingjia gasped and looked directly at her daughter, as if she didn't recognize her daughter who had been married for several years, "Bao Chen, what are you going to do?"
"If possible, I think Jia Jing's opinion is acceptable. The Zhen family is not yet a criminal, and the court has not convicted the Zhen family. Bao Yu and I went to Feng Keng with a list of the Zhen family's property and asked him to give the Zhen family a way to survive. , we are willing to hand over all our property, just to survive for our family! "Zhen Baochen said every word: "The prerequisite is that he must guarantee the lives of our family, we only trust him!"
"What if Feng Keng also wants us to die?" Zhen Yingjia said fiercely: "Aren't we just sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?"
"That's Tian Jue and our Zhen family!" Zhen Baochen said angrily: "Fortunately, Feng Keng is a bold and lustful person. If he dares to accept the Li sisters at this time, he may not dare to accept our conditions.
"But can he save the lives of our entire Zhen family?" Zhen Baoyu also interjected and asked.
"I don't know either, but maybe he is the only one who can do it in Nanjing at the moment. The troops stationed in Nanjing are all Liaodong Army or Denglai Army, all of which are his father Feng Tang's old troops. He is still Minister of the Ministry of War, and Jia Yucun begged him for mercy. Didn’t the second uncle also say that Denglai Navy was also supported by him? Then who else is more powerful than him in Nanjing City? "
Zhen Baochen finally stood up and gave Zhen Ying a blessing: "Father, my daughter has made an appointment with Li's daughter. If possible, my daughter is going to enter Feng's house with Bao Yu tonight. Please take care of your father and wait for the good news about your daughter!" "
Zhen Yingjia was dumbfounded: "You made an appointment with Li Shouzhong's two daughters and asked them to help you matchmaking? When did it happen? How could this be possible?
"Father, there is no need to ask more questions. As a daughter of the Zhen family, she should have this consciousness. This is the case for my daughter, and the same is true for Bao Yu."
Zhen Baochen glanced at Zhen Baoyu and said, "Maybe this is the fate of our daughter of the Zhen family!"
"It's interesting. Is there no one in the Zhen family? You still want to use your daughter to take this road?" Feng Ziying had an intriguing smile on her lips, "Go, maybe you can bring me some good news."
Li Qi leaned against Feng Ziying and sat on the other person's lap, nestled in the other person's arms, and murmured: "Sister Baochen is a very unique woman. She is very famous in Nanjing. Everyone admires her and says that she will marry her." It's such a pity to go to Huizhou. Many young people in Nanjing feel very sad about this.
"Really?" Feng Ziying took a sip of the fragrance on Li Qi's neck. The light fur glowed golden in the sunlight, fine and soft, and the jade-white neck muscles revealed an alluring ravine along the slightly open part of the skirt.
Li Qi is much softer and gentler than Li Min. When faced with his own treachery, he is just gentle and coquettish, but rarely resists. However, Li Min would not be so intimate with her on such an occasion.
"Really, Mr. Xiang said that our Li family's twin hairpins are just some good people who want to match up with the Zhen family's three beauties to make up for it. But the Zhen family's three beauties are really known to everyone in Nanjing. Sister Baochen and the Bao family When we got married, countless people made a fuss about it. In comparison, my sister and my concubine were just as beautiful as a willow tree. How could they compare to the Zhen sisters..."
Li Qi's charming temperament suits Feng Ziying's liking.
