Regarding reform, Feng Yibo has always adhered to the principle of "moistening things quietly".

Even if this time it deals with the core land issue, it is still no exception.

In order to cover up the "spreading a small man into his own family", he decided to go to war against the founding lineage.

On the surface, this is how the royal family wants to use the two cases in Shandong to suppress the founding lineage.

In this way, he could completely control the capital and consolidate the emperor's position.

In fact, he also wants to use party disputes as a smoke bomb to muddy the water first.

Feng Yibo was actually in a bit of a dilemma regarding the Wei family.

Let alone Daiyu begging for mercy at this time, even if his mother and father came, they could not change his arrangement.

But a few days ago, he had just gone to Rongfu to save face for Daiyu. It would be a bit unreasonable if he stopped giving face so soon.

Finally, after careful consideration, he decided to give face to his unmarried wife without affecting the overall situation.

But he had no intention of directly letting go of the Wei family, so he put a lot of restrictions on taking care of the Wei family.

However, his words reached the Dragon Scale Guard, which put Jia Lian in trouble.

"Taking care of the Wei family...there is no evidence, and it doesn't involve much..."

As soon as Da Bo left, Jia Lian began to think about it, murmured to himself, and said with an embarrassed look:

"What should I do..."

Chang Suixing'er on the side heard this and said doubtfully:

"Didn't the Second Master always say that the words of the Marquis of Chu should prevail in the future? Why are you worried now that the Marquis of Chu has passed on the message?"

In the Rong Mansion, he spent the longest time with Jia Lian, and he was a smart man.

Jia Lian also took him with him when he went to Longscale Guard. At least he had someone who could negotiate.

"You don't know, I went to see the Marquis of Chu State yesterday, and he told me to focus on taking care of my old relatives in the capital camp, which means that the Dragon Scale Guards will take action to uproot the founding lineage in the capital camp!"

When Xing'er asked about it, Jia Lian didn't hide it and sighed:

"I have been hesitant about this matter and haven't figured out how to handle it yet. Today he said he would take care of the Jinling Wei family and said he could let it go, which made me a little confused about what he meant."

After listening to Da Bo's message, he couldn't help but feel a little alive in his heart.

If the Jinling Wei family can take care of him, can those close to him in the Beijing camp also be taken care of?

Jia Lian's character is somewhat indecisive, and he has always been difficult to make up his mind about Feng Yibo asking him to attack his old relatives.

Now, after listening to Feng Yibo's words, he seems to have relaxed a little. If he can avoid hurting his harmony, he doesn't have to worry about it.

Whoever takes care of both sides will inevitably make him think too much.

"What's not clear about this?"

Hearing this, Xing'er smiled confidently and said:

"The Marquis of Chu State asked you to take action yesterday, and today we have added another member of the Wei family, so of course you will be asked to take care of them together!"

Jia Lian was stunned when he heard this.

Obviously, Xing'er was exactly the opposite of what he thought.

What he was thinking was that Feng Yibo was not unkind.

Now that he can let the Wei family go, can he also show mercy to other relatives for his own sake?

What Xing'er means is that Feng Yibo asked people to pass the message, not to let the Wei family go.

Instead, just like the old relatives in the Beijing camp, focus on taking care of them.

Xing'er has been with him for a long time and naturally knows the second master's temperament.

So, without waiting for Jia Lian to express his position, he said proudly:

"Although our Rong Mansion is from the founding lineage and is related to many people, the Second Master must know that since the founding of the Wei Dynasty nearly a hundred years ago, even if we have relatives, they can only be regarded as distant branches, and the Queen Mother is the biggest backer of the Rong Mansion. The broken bones and tendons of our Rongfu!"

After Jia Lian mastered the Dragon Scale Guard, Xing'er also gained a lot of knowledge.

The most important thing is that he knew that although the Dragon Scale Guard was in Jia Lian's hands, the Queen Mother actually asked Jia Lian to obey the orders of the Marquis of Chu.

In other words, the Marquis of Chu is the Queen Mother's son.

Then what the Marquis of Chu means, isn’t it what the Queen Mother means?

Since the Queen Mother wants to move the capital, why are you, your cousin in charge of the Dragon Scale Guard on her behalf, still hesitating?

Jia Lian naturally understood this truth, but in his heart he couldn't bear to deal with all his old relatives.

Thinking of what was said just now, he hesitated and said:

"But... the person who just sent the message clearly said, 'There is no evidence, and the involvement is not big, so don't embarrass them.' I was thinking, can the old relatives in the Beijing camp be divided into several categories? If there is no big deal, What’s wrong is…”

At this point, it seemed that he himself felt it was unrealistic, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and stopped talking.

"I didn't say that, my second master! Isn't this just a polite word?"

Seeing his appearance, Xing'er sighed and asked:

"As a Marquis of Chu State, how can I get people to take the lead and ask Second Master to deal with the Wei family?"

"But he obviously..."

Seeing that Jia Lian was still struggling with whether this statement was true or false, he continued:

"To put it bluntly, if you do what he wants, he still won't recognize you when it comes to a confrontation in the court, and he might even turn his back on you."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Jia Lian angrily and sighed:

"Didn't you also say that this is what this industry does?"

Dragon scales Dragon scales are not only protective gear on the dragon's body, but they are also the most fishy place where dirt and evil are stored.

Jia Lian once complained privately that the Dragon Scale Guards were the ones doing the dirty work.

He does not mean that.

It seemed that Xing'er understood the attributes of the Dragon Scale Guard better than he did.

"Yes! Isn't that what Dragon Scale Guards do?"

When Jia Lian heard this, he couldn't help but murmured.

But after thinking about it, he still felt that he should confirm it, and then said:

"In any case, even if there is no room for change in the matter in Jingying, he did not personally explain the matters concerning the Wei family. How about I go there again and ask him face to face?"

He always felt that Feng Yibo's words were not meant to rectify the Wei family.

But after hearing Xing'er's words, he was a little unsure again.

"Ha! If you ask, the Marquis of Chu will definitely say, 'When did I ask you to deal with the Wei family? Didn't I say, there is no evidence and the involvement is not big, so don't embarrass them?' No matter whether the Marquis of Chu or not To deal with the Wei family, since he didn't say anything yesterday, he sent someone to send a message today, and if I ask him again, he won't admit it."

Speaking of this, Xing'er looked at everything and sneered:

"If you ask me, this sentence is correct nonsense!"

It has to be said that his brainstorming ability is pretty good.

These words also calmed Jia Lian.

yes!

He had been reminded by Feng Yibo many times before. If he couldn't handle this matter well and kept asking questions again and again, it would inevitably be suspected of incompetence.

But……

"Second Master, don't you always say that you didn't listen to the words of the Marquis of Chu State last time, so you caused disaster to the Rong Mansion, missed the last chance to make amends, and had your home confiscated and fired?"

Xing'er's words revealed Jia Lian's scars again.

That’s not all, he continued:

"If you ask me, just follow the instructions of the Marquis of Chu State. As for what to do next, that is the next thing. No matter whether it is right or wrong, we will not make any excuses."

This would save a lot of trouble.

But if you do it wrong, the Wei family will suffer...

When Jia Lian heard this, he hesitated and said:

"But the Wei family is related to the Shi family, and they are also engaged to Sister Shi. If..."

Seeing that he was still so indecisive, Xing'er felt a little disdainful and sneered:

"Then what can we do? The Wei family's involvement in the two cases in Shandong is their own fault. Besides, they offended no one, but they offended the Marquis of Chu. We can't really blame us."

Hearing this, Jia Lian remembered what happened in Shandong.

Even the Rong Mansion is not immune to this kind of thing, so what does the Wei family mean?

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said irritably:

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you!"

After all, he and Baoyu are brothers!

Problems that cannot be solved are chosen to escape.

"As you command!"

Xing'er took the order, took the list handed over by Jia Lian, and went out happily.

The office of Longlinwei is a five-story house.

Jia Lian's location is equivalent to the back house.

Xing'er walked all the way through the second gate and rushed to the front.

The Dragon Scale Guards all knew that he was Jia Lian's long-term follower, and they all avoided him along the way.

When he arrogantly arrived in front of Wang Bo, the commander of the Dragon Scale Guards, he turned away with his eyes, and then said:

"My second uncle said it's time to end the two Shandong cases. You should focus on 'taking care' of the people above, as well as the Jinling Wei family. My uncle said, 'There is no evidence and the involvement is not big, so don't embarrass them.'"

He paraphrased Feng Yibo's original words and emphasized the word "care".

Then he handed over the list, not forgetting to add:

"Do it well, the Queen Mother and our Second Master will not treat you badly."

Wang Bo frowned slightly, but still responded:

"Yes, yes, I will do my best to make this trip worthwhile."

Xing'er nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said:

"gone!"

"Hey! Walk slowly!"

Wang Bo watched Xing'er go out, slowly suppressed his smile, and cursed:

"It's something you seek, something that relies on human power!"

Then he looked down at the list in his hand and sighed again:

"Here comes a great life! I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, alas!"

Dragon Scale Guards usually keep a low profile, but once they show up, it is no small matter.

The two cases in Shandong were originally coming to an end, but now something has happened again.

As an old man of the Dragon Scale Guard, Wang Bo knew very well that this matter seemed to have unlimited glory and held the lives and deaths of countless people in his hands.

But in fact, it is a hidden murderous intention, and one of them might be implicated.

The list was all people from the Beijing camp. It was obvious that someone wanted to use their hands to suppress dissidents.

They are now making up many accusations and offending everyone.

If the situation reverses, they will inevitably be pushed out to take the blame.

If he had a choice, he would definitely not get involved in this kind of thing.

But Jia Lian gave the order and he had to do it.

Wang Bo sighed and said loudly:

"Someone is coming!"

A fan trotted into the house and saluted:

"grown ups!"

Wang Bo handed over the list and said coldly:

"There is an order from above to collect evidence of these people's crimes with all our strength!"

"As you command!"

Just as Fanzi was about to go out to deliver the order, Wang Bo added:

"Wait a minute, in addition to this, there is also a Jinling Wei family!"

It's obvious that his focus is on "care."

Automatically filtered out the correct nonsense of "There is no evidence and the implications are not big, so don't embarrass them."

"Subordinates understand!"

For several days in a row, the Dragon Scale Guards were dispatched frequently.

Most of the founding people in the capital camp are still preparing for the New Year.

This time I was caught off guard.

Some were involved in two cases in Shandong, some were involved in lawsuits involving human lives, and some were involved in the occupation of civilian fields in the capital when the Tatars invaded a few years ago...

In short, the charges varied, but they were all taken to jail and interrogated.

Judging from this attitude, he is going to spend the New Year in prison.

For a time, there was a loud roar in the wind.

Countless impeachment memorials were sent to the palace like snowflakes.

But these memorials were like a muddy cow drowning in the sea, and the cabinet and the Queen Mother showed no sign of it.

This time, the pressure was on Rong Mansion.

Old relatives from the founding lineage came in droves, wanting to find out more about Jia Lian, the commander of the Dragon Scale Guards.

When Jia Lian saw the opportunity, he hid and suffered a lot from other Jia family members.

In the end, Jia Zheng had no choice but to announce that the Rong Mansion would be closed to all guests, and he managed to get some peace.

But the Chinese New Year is about to come, and continuing like this is not an option.

Finally, Jia Mu repeatedly promised that the palace was busy with rituals and she would go to the palace to find out clearly after the new year.

Unexpectedly, before the New Year was over, the Shi family came to visit.

After all, he was from her mother's family. After much hesitation, Jia Mu decided to meet him.

"Old lady, I shouldn't have made you feel uncomfortable during the Chinese New Year."

As soon as Mrs. Wei met, tears streamed down her face, and she said in a tearful voice:

"But my natal family was demolished by the Dragon Scale Guards, and now the Wei family is in ruins. As a member of the Wei family, I should ask for an explanation!"

"What?"

Jia Mu's eyes suddenly widened and she quickly ordered:

"Go find Lian'er for me!"

When Jia Lian heard that Mrs. Wei came to visit, he felt regretful.

At this time, after hearing Jia Mu's summons, she hurried over.

"Auntie, this matter really has nothing to do with me!"

Looking at Mrs. Wei who was crying into tears, Jia Lian bit the bullet and yelled:

"I originally asked the people below to take care of the Wei family. I said that there was no evidence and the involvement was not big, so don't embarrass them. But I didn't expect that the Wei family would have an affair with the rebels. There is really nothing I can do about this matter!"

Seeing that Mrs. Wei was still crying uncontrollably, he explained:

"If you don't believe me, you can ask my chief attendant. I specially asked Xing'er to tell you!"

It turns out that the Wei family received special care under the care of the Dragon Scale Guard.

Unexpectedly, this investigation actually found a problem.

The Wei family has some influence in Shandong, otherwise they would not be able to participate in the occupation of people's fields.

It was for this reason that he was won over by Prince Zhongshun.

Although Mrs. Wei's brother, Wei Ranbin, the head of the Wei family, did not agree, Wei Ranli, the second roommate of the Wei family, secretly took refuge with Prince Zhongshun.

When the Wei family was aware of the horse bandits, it was only because of Wei Ranli's urging that they did not expose it.

Wei Ranbin was dismissed from his job because of the occupation of civilian land, and Wei Ranli, the second roommate, became the new head of the family.

The eldest son of the Wei family was not angry about this.

This time, Wei Ranbin was sent to prison again, and he was questioned about colluding with the leader.

Someone in the main room of the Wei family told this matter.

Dragon Scale Guard was worried about not being able to find a suitable charge, and now he finally had a breakthrough.

After being beaten half to death, Wei Ranli finally admitted that he had colluded with Zhongshun Nishou.

All of a sudden, everyone in the second room of the Wei family was arrested.

In this society where relatives are secluded from each other, the eldest family member of the Wei family was criticized by other members of the Wei family for selling out their second family member.

In particular, Dafang's young master Wei Ruolan has become the biggest target of suspicion among everyone.

In the end, Wei Ruolan couldn't bear the humiliation and chose to commit suicide in front of her ancestors during the Chinese New Year to prove her innocence.

At this time, Shi Xiangyun originally wanted to show some filial piety to his aunt, so he thought of a way to ask Feng Yibo for help.

Not only did he do bad things with good intentions but he didn't say anything about it, he also became an outcast!
