  Chapter 1900 Renzi scroll cunning rabbit three caves, information basket

  Looking at Jia Zhen's flattering eyes, Feng Ziying sighed in her heart, thinking that at the beginning this was the patriarch of the Jia family and the head of the Ningguo Mansion.

   After taking the letter that Jia Zhen carefully took out from her arms, Feng Ziying looked at the seal. Jia Zhen probably didn't read it, or Jia Jing specifically told her to.

  Opening the letter, Feng Ziying read ten lines at a glance, and quickly read it.

  The letter didn’t say too much, it only said that due to the current situation, the situation of the Jia family is not good, and that Feng Ziying will protect the Jia family for the sake of family acquaintances.

   It can be said that the content expressed in this letter is meaningless, and more depends on what Jia Zhen said.

"Brother Zhen, it seems that your trip to Nanjing is not going well?" Feng Ziying put down the letter and looked at the other party, "I heard that you have been an official in the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty for a few days, why did you suddenly think of going back to the capital city? Come? You don’t know about the case of the Jia family’s treason, She Shibo, Baoyu, Brother Huan and Brother Rong are still in the imperial prison. If you come back this time, you will inevitably have to go to the imperial prison It's been a while."

Jia Zhen shook her body, her face full of helplessness and frustration, "Ziying, in front of you, I don't play tricks anymore. To be honest, I don't want to come back. Anyway, in Nanjing, Jia's family is one of the four great families." , My father still has some face in front of Prince Yizhong. I have more than enough to live a leisurely life. It's a pity that the master refuses and insists on me coming back. He also asked me to come back to you for help by name. No matter what the result is, I must obey ,..."

   "Oh?" Feng Ziying was surprised again, this Jia Jing had calculated enough of himself, did he think he could save the Jia family? "Master Jing thinks highly of me so much? But what can I do? What I can do is to take you to Long Jinwei or the Ministry of Punishment to surrender, so that we can see if we can get a lighter treatment."

"Master said, everything is up to Ziying, you can arrange everything, whether you go to jail or be sent to exile, you can do whatever you want." Jia Zhen also looked at Feng Ziying pitifully, "I don't know what the master thinks. If that’s the case, I’ll surrender myself, so what can I do?”

"I don't know what Master Jing thinks, but I know that Master Jing must have a deep meaning in doing this. At least Brother Zhen, if you surrender yourself, the court will not make things difficult for you. Maybe Brother Rong can come out with glory. "Feng Ziying was quite meaningful, "What did Master Jing tell you before he left?"

  Jia Zhen had a dejected look on her face. It seemed that going to prison was inevitable. He didn't want to taste the taste of prison, but his father insisted on sending him back, which made him very depressed and helpless.

In his opinion, it doesn't matter if he stays in Nanjing. Anyway, he just messes around and can't do anything. He is an idle little official?

   "Master didn't say anything, he just said that he is struggling to make ends meet now..." Jia Zhen was not interested in saying anything more, and his thoughts were all on the imminent prison disaster.

Feng Ziying was different. He believed that Jia Jing sent Jia Zhen back for a purpose, not just to protect Jia Zhen and his son, but Jia Jing might have scruples that Jia Zhen would be intercepted on the road, and even He was captured and tortured by Nanjing, and it is impossible for Long Jinwei, who obeyed Prince Yizhong in Nanjing, not to monitor the important officials of the puppet court, so there are many things that Jia Jing will not say clearly, but they should have revealed them to Jia Zhen inadvertently in daily life. Even Jia Zhen may not understand the meaning of it, but after such a detailed discussion, she can dig out a lot of things worth studying.

"Well, it's difficult, Brother Zhen, you have been following Master Jing for so long, who he usually meets, who he has a good relationship with, who he hates deeply, and what conflicts, you should know something about these things, right? "Feng Ziying asked patiently, unhurriedly: "Tell me in detail what you have been with Master Jing in the past two months. Maybe this is the purpose of Master Jing for letting you come back. There's no need to go around the prison, maybe Brother Rong can come out early."

"Really?" Jia Zhen cheered up, and immediately began to use her brains, and began to carefully recall all the things she had experienced with her father in the past few months, "Master really took me by his side all the time, and he didn't hide anything from me. Before, I wondered if the master wanted to train me so that I could be reused in the future, but after thinking about it, I thought it was impossible, but when the master saw guests and talked about things, I was waiting by the side, and sometimes I had to help transcribe Transcribe some documents,…”

  Jia Zhen came back to the memory slowly, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I said why did the master treat me so suddenly, I didn't see him treat me like this when I was young, so it's like that..."

Feng Ziying also laughed. This Jia Jing is also a smart person. He just brought his son by his side and let him participate in knowing everything. But he also knew that Jia Zhen was not capable enough, so he only asked him to listen and watch more, but not let him know. He got involved, becoming a living, automatic VCR recorder.

If the situation in Nanjing is all right, then Jia Zhen will naturally not have to return to the capital. If he feels that the situation is not good, he will send Jia Zhen, a "live information basket", back to the north, and find himself directly, and let Jia Zhen send his Tell yourself what you have seen and heard, and you will naturally know where Nanbian's weaknesses and shortcomings are.

"Brother Zhen, this is Master Jing's thorough consideration. He is a wealthy family. This involves the life and death of the family. There is no scheming to play with. Since Master Jing bet on Prince Yizhong early on, he must have some unavoidable difficulties. It's the same story, but the Three Caves of the Rabbit, your Jia family in Ningguo Mansion, there are only you and Brother Rong, once he makes a mistake, he will never turn over, and he can't even turn around, but he can pass you and Brother Rong. Come and find another way of life, this trick even I have to admire." Feng Ziying smiled and said: "Tell me, tell me what you have seen and heard by Mr. Jing's side in the past few months, in detail, Explain it to me in detail, and tell me what you can recall, especially some details that you don't understand yourself, you should remember and explain clearly."

At this time, Jia Zhen also put aside other fantasies and began to reminisce. Feng Ziying gave him a stick of incense time, asking him to go through many things in his heart now, with a sequence and priority, and let Jin Chuaner go here. Call Wang Wenyan, record and organize while the other two can add up to see if there is anything that hasn't been considered or asked.

   This talk was rambling, and it lasted for more than two hours, which made Jia Zhen's mouth dry, and the tea was changed twice, but for Feng Ziying and Wang Wenyan, it was quite rewarding.

  The imperial court was in a difficult situation. There were even wars and smoke everywhere. It could be described as paper lanterns.

After Jia Zhen went down, Feng Ziying discussed with Wang Wenyan carefully, "It seems that Fujian people are getting impatient, and they are getting more and more dissatisfied with the situation in Nanzhili, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, probably because they feel marginalized , and the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty asked to ban the export of goods from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou.

"Ningbo is the most important foreign trade port in the entire south of the Yangtze River. Japan, Korea, Ryukyu, plus Nanyang and the North, as well as the huge shipbuilding and fishing industries, how can it be eliminated? If Ningbo is really banned, it will split the Zhejiang gentry, Yizhong Even the prince can't do it." Wang Wenyan shook his head, "The influence of the Zhejiang gentry is much stronger in the puppet court than in the imperial court. Here, the Fujian scholars are more powerful."

"It's also because of the Fujian Navy." Feng Ziying nodded, "Shen Yourong has a great influence in the Fujian Navy. Now the Fujian Navy seems to be impartial and unwilling to intervene. In fact, they use Penghu and Zhangquan as bases to guarantee Goods from Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Dongfan to the south were transported smoothly to the north, and even Ningbo and Songjiang were the same.

"It seems that the earliest Yuancong faction of Prince Yizhong represented by Jia Jing and Zhen Yingjia has a big conflict with Tang Binyin's Jiangnan scholar faction, and there seems to be conflicts between Jia Jing and Zhen Yingjia, and the contradictions are not small. Zhen Yingjia and I I understand that Jia Jing is greedy and short-sighted, and Jia Jing has some financial skills, but Prince Yizhong has to reward the Zhen family for so many years in the south of the Yangtze River for him, so he gave the Zhen brothers a lot of power. Jia Jing is very restrained, and Jia Jing, the "Shangshu of the Household Department", has worked very hard, which also shows that Prince Yizhong is not suitable for the people around him."

  Wang Wenyan has worked hard to understand the Jiangnan Party, and he knows the inside story very well.

"They want to form Jiangnan Town, but where the money will come from, there is no result yet. It seems that the Yangzhou salt merchants have followed Zhen Yingjia's path and are unwilling to pay more, but want to transfer the responsibility to Suhu Changing these houses, this is the basic situation of Tang Binyin and the others, and this is another dead end."

Feng Ziying also laughed when she heard Wang Wenyan's thorough explanation, "After all, Prince Yizhong lacks enough prestige to suppress these people, or Xu has gone out too much, and now his family is not enough, Tang Binyin It is also difficult to reach a balance with Jia Jing and the others. The interior of Jiangnan is also full of conflicts, and it is difficult to form a joint force. Such an 'imperial court' will only be left with a bunch of corrupt scholars and greedy businessmen who are fighting for power and profit..."
