Just as Jia Lian finished speaking, Jia Zhen hurriedly shook her head, "At least we have to find out first whether this is really what Shi Boqian said.

If there are some misunderstandings, we will be confused, which will not be good.

Moreover, the eldest master of the Wang family must be informed about this matter, and I don’t know if my uncle has a way to solve this matter."

After Jia Mu and others listened, they nodded hurriedly.

The three fast horses soon left Rongguo Mansion and headed towards Jinling. In the evening, Wang Ziteng had time to enter Rongguo Mansion.

Upon hearing that Jia Yucun had violated etiquette and law again, the prince jumped to his feet and cursed, "Why did this damn fool choose this moment to do such a foolish thing?"

Jia Zheng hurriedly asked, "Why did my brother-in-law say this?"

When Wang Ziteng saw Jia Mu looking at him, he realized that he had been rude just now, so he hurriedly bowed to Jia Mu to apologize.

Jia Mu hurriedly waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to pay attention, and then Wang Ziteng sighed and said, "The White Lotus incident two months ago involved the Prince of Anle County and more than a dozen officials.

After the Holy Master won a game, he vaguely wanted to reorganize the Beijing Camp and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.

Moreover, the White Lotus bandits were hidden in the capital, and three to four hundred ruthless bandits were killed in the capital. Even the Supreme Emperor had trouble sleeping.

It's just that the Supreme Emperor didn't want to engage in more wars and cause more trouble at this time, so he suppressed it.

The nobles of various families have been quite honest in recent years, so Your Majesty just kept quiet and waited for the opportunity.

Once the affairs of Jia Yucun were known to the officials and censors, wouldn't it have given the emperor a reason to use the topic to his advantage?

At that time, not only the Beijing Camp and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division will be in chaos for a while, but the noble families will also be punished by His Majesty, and your family and I will become a scourge in the eyes of many old relatives and family friends.

I don't think I'll be used as a punching bag to appease the Holy One."

Everyone in the Jia family was so scared that their hands and feet were cold. This was no joke.

Jia Zheng lost his voice and said, "What should we do?"

Jia She, Jia Zhen, and Jia Lian were also frightened and their faces turned pale.

On the contrary, Jia Mu asked eagerly, "Is there anything his uncle can do?"

After Wang Ziteng thought about it, he sighed, "I really have to thank Baochai's husband-in-law this time, otherwise Mr. Zheng and I will be implicated. As for Jia Yucun, let him resign due to illness."

Upon hearing that Jia Zheng would be implicated, Jia's mother's expression instantly darkened.

It can be said that Jia Baoyu is her lifeblood, and Jia Zheng is Jia Mu's support.

She would never let anything happen to Jia Zheng no matter what.

As for killing Jia Yucun, it was not that Wang Ziteng and Jia Mu did not dare, but that they were frightened and could not do it at this time.

Moreover, if Wang Ziteng could serve as the governor of the Beijing camp, he must have a bunch of officials, big and small, close to him. Even if Jia Yucun's death was natural, if his subordinates knew about it, he would definitely be disloyal.

Besides, I can't hide this matter.

Since Shi Zhongkui knew about it, in Wang Ziteng's mind, it must have been Shi Zhongkui's disciple who told him the news.

Then, for the sake of their relatives, they warned me at the risk of getting into trouble.

Some people may even be waiting for something to go wrong on their side so that they can unseat themselves as the governor of the Beijing camp in one fell swoop.

The power of this kind of thinking is really scary to think about sometimes.

If Shi Zhongkui knew that he was just plotting against Jia Yucun and Jia She, but actually made the Jia family and Wang family pay so much attention to and fear him, he would definitely wait a little longer.

It's already December now, and it's only more than two months until the exam in February next year.

When the time comes, you may be able to name yourself on the gold medal list, or even directly observe politics as a public commentator on the matter, and maybe the benefits will be even greater.

Of course, he was not worried that the Jia family and Wang Ziteng would be suspicious. After all, Yu Honggao had many brothers, and even including him, there were four Jinshis.

It is indeed reasonable to say that Yu Honggao and his fellow apprentices received the news that Jia Yucun has exceeded the courtesy, and it will definitely make Wang Ziteng worry a lot.

Besides, although Shi Zhongkui was trying to trick the Jia family this time, in the eyes of the Jia family and Wang Ziteng, he was really helping his family. It was unreasonable to deal with his benefactor before the trouble was solved.

When Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian heard this, they immediately thought of giving up Jia Yu Village without any further hesitation.

After all, when choosing between Wang Ziteng, the Jia family, and a dependent official, all fools know that they should protect the big one and let the small one go.

After making this decision, everyone's mood suddenly improved a lot.

With Wang Ziteng pressuring him and Jia Yucun doing it himself, if he was given some promises, I believe Jia Yucun would not and would not dare to talk nonsense.

Then Wang Ziteng asked with some confusion, "How can Shi Boqian and the people behind him be comforted?"

Jia Mu and others immediately understood that Wang Ziteng was doing this because of Baochai's marriage, and they still couldn't let it go.

Jia Lian asked cautiously, "How about Brother Zhen and I send you a thousand taels of silver?"

"Stupid", Wang Ziteng could scold Jia Lian as much as he wanted without worrying about Jia Mu and Jia She.

After all, the Celestial Empire pays great attention to uncles, "If you have the nerve to hand over a thousand taels, just give him the money directly. That is not appeasement, but enmity."

Everyone then realized that once Shi Zhongkui accepted the money, wouldn't it be equivalent to handing the clues to the Jia family and the Wang family?

When the host and guest are in different places, Shi Zhongkui will really be a fool.

In the end, it was Jia Mu who made the final decision, "Let's give Baochai two generous gifts as dowry in the name of my uncle and maternal uncle.

Then I asked Brother Pan to recruit some of them and send him some calligraphy and famous paintings, saying that Brother Pan found them myself.

It also prevents Mr. Xue’s family from being able to send messages to the master.

And I really need someone to remind me this time, otherwise it won’t be a problem that can be solved with something.”

Wang Ziteng nodded as soon as he heard this. It was indeed thanks to Baochai and Shi Zhongkui that they decided to get married. Otherwise, let alone report the news, it would be enough not to add insult to injury.

After everyone discussed it, each family prepared a dowry worth no less than 10,000 taels, a total of 20,000 taels of silver.

Otherwise, there will be less money, and if Shi Zhongkui feels that he is losing face, there will be more changes.

Jia She, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen from the Jia Mansion all gave out 10,000 taels. Although they were heartbroken, the three of them knew that this money was indispensable.

After Jia's mother thought for a while, she said that she would also pay 2,500 taels, and Jia She and the others felt much better.

But when it came to calligraphy and painting, it was easy for Wang Ziteng. He himself was the head of the Wang family and could give whatever he wanted.

As for the Jia family, Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen had different thoughts.

Of course, Jia Zhen is actually the easiest. He can just give something similar to what Rongguo Mansion gives.

Jia Zheng also has a lot of calligraphy and painting in his hands, but asking Jia She to take out three or five pieces from the treasures he has collected for many years is tantamount to cutting his flesh.

According to Wang Ziteng, his master is not an ordinary squire without knowledge. If it is not a treasure, taking it out will be a slap in his face.

In addition, I don’t know how many people among them know about this. Even if we count 4 or 5 people, each person will have to give away three or five items, which is at least more than 20 items.

Also, once Shi Zhongkui feels embarrassed, he will definitely not care about the affairs of the Jia family and the Wang family in the future, and may even hold grudges against the two families because of this.
