Number of People

  Chapter 389 Volume C Unknowingly a big shot

  When Niu Jizong said this, Wang Ziteng was also slightly moved.

In the Western Expedition to suppress the rebellion, he served as the governor of Xuanda, and both Shanxi and Datong towns mobilized troops. There must also be a reward.

Chai Ke will come back sooner or later, and Wang Ziteng also guessed that if he doesn't go to serve as the governor of the three sides, Feng Tang will be promoted to the governor of the three sides. The best person to clean up the mess in Three Sides and Four Towns is more suitable than himself, and he doesn't want to go to that ghost place in Three Sides at all.

   But no matter what, if Feng Tang is promoted to the governor of the three sides, then Feng Tang will be promoted to the top of the Wu Xun just like himself, even Niu Jizong and Chen Daoxian will be inferior.

  But this is all secondary, the key is that this time Feng Jia Dalang is too brilliant.

  Going out of the grassland to persuade Bu Shitu, entering Ganzhou to turn the tide and withstood the offensive of the rebels, and finally single-handedly persuaded Liu Baichuan to go anyway, directly shattering Liu Dongyang's dream of separatist Ganzhou.

   This contribution is too great, so great that even if he is just a good man, the court cannot ignore him, and he has to be rewarded heavily, otherwise who will be willing to work for the court in the future?

Now Niu Jizong suddenly talked about Feng Ziying, and mentioned his master and mentor Qiao Yingjia, but in fact he had another mentor—Qi Yongtai, who was about to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials. If Feng Ziying is willing to come forward to help, maybe it can really give the Ma family a chance.

"I've heard that the Feng family has been in and out of Wenyuan Pavilion frequently in the past few days. The two chief assistants, Ye and Fang, have summoned him, and Master Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of War, has also invited him twice to discuss matters in the office of the Ministry of War. The kid seems to have become the darling of the princes in the court." Chen Ruiwen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Zi Teng, when he just passed the examination two years ago, how did you and I ever think that he would have such a fortune?"

   "Well, it is said that Chai Ke is particularly appreciative of him, and this time he was specially asked to come back to report the situation of the Western Expedition to suppress the rebellion to the court and the emperor. How can ordinary people have this opportunity?" Hou Xiaokang also nodded in agreement.

   Ma Shang was surprised, happy and worried.

The year before last, the Feng family celebrated this son's success in the examination, but he only had someone give him a gift, and he didn't go there. He also thought that Wang Ziteng was making a fuss over a molehill. It is far inferior to the Datong General Soldier he originally served as.

   Unexpectedly, in just two years, this son has grown to a level that cannot be ignored and become a big shot, not even relying on his father.

   "Zi Teng, I don't have much acquaintance with the Feng family, and I'm not familiar with the boss of the Feng family, can I ask Zi Teng to act as a substitute..." Ma Shang's eyes fell on Wang Ziteng's face.

Wang Ziteng also felt a headache. He is now the leader of Wu Xun. Since he is a leader, he must assume the responsibility of a leader. Not true.

  But the Ma family has caused such a big trouble, and they are not very friendly with themselves on weekdays. Now that something happened, they knew to come to him to find a way to help, and Wang Ziteng was also a little nervous.

   It is definitely not good to not show up, but his current identity is also more sensitive, and he is not as good as Chen Ruiwen and Hou Xiaokang who are at home, which makes him hesitate.

Seeing Wang Ziteng's distressed expression, Ma Shang was even more anxious, like a drowning man who grabbed a life-saving straw, stepped forward and bowed: "Zi Teng, this is because our family has done poorly. Ma Xia is my younger brother. As an elder brother, you must take responsibility, but please read it for the sake of the hundreds of people in our Ma family. You can’t drag us into the water just because Ma Xia is in the same house. If you can save our Ma family, Ma There must be good rewards at home,..."

Niu Jizong and Chen Daoxian exchanged glances, frowned, and finally Chen Daoxian gave a dry cough: "Brother Guo, I'm afraid it's not that the prince doesn't want to help, but that his identity is too sensitive now, and Niu Gong and Chen are the same, and they really want to help." Brother Guoshang, as Brother Guoshang said, we are all from a family of martial arts, and we share the same spirit. Even if we have some disagreements, it is nothing more than trivial disputes. If we can help at this time, we will definitely help. But if a few of us intervene, maybe it will backfire, making those censors think we are a team of martial arts, and even making the emperor think we are too big to lose,..."

  As soon as Chen Daoxian's words came out, Chen Ruiwen and Hou Xiaokang nodded repeatedly, and Hou Xiaokang said bluntly: "Now Captain Long must be keeping a close eye on the princes and the others. If he intervenes rashly, I'm afraid the loss will outweigh the gain."

They also realized this. Originally, the Wu Xun family had a close relationship with the Supreme Emperor and a shallow relationship with the Emperor. Now that the court is going to investigate and deal with the Ma family, you Wu Xun who hold military power are about to jump out. It will be even more fearful, and if the censors don't make it right, they will have their minions on these people, and that will really irritate them.

   Ma Shang had a desperate expression on his face, and even the veins on his neck burst out, "Then what should I do?"

Chen Ruiwen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Enhou and Cunzhou, as far as I know, your son has a close relationship with Mr. Feng's family, and Mr. Feng's family often visits your house. If Enhou and Cunzhou can get through it, or let you The son also helped to soften his cheeks, so maybe he can..."

   Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng looked at each other.

  They didn't expect that they were standing here like a transparent person, just listening with a pair of ears, but they could still play a role in the end, even a key role.

   This made Jia She and Jia Zheng both excited and apprehensive, but also a little worried.

  Does the Jia family have the ability to intervene in such matters?

  Don't be self-defeating. If you really hurt the Ma family and involve your own family, then it will really be a big deal.

  Wang Ziteng also hesitated.

He is too clear about the ability of his brother-in-law, Jia Amnesty is useless for a pedantic person, he only has money in his eyes, Jia Lian may be a little better, Baoyu seems to be studying for the past two years, but if he wants to carry this kind of Things are probably out of play.

  Jia She and Jia Zheng saw that everyone's eyes were on him, and he got up quickly: "If we two brothers can contribute to such a big event, we naturally have a duty to do it, but..."

  Looking at Wang Ziteng, Wang Ziteng could only wave his hands: "Enhou, Cun Zhou, you sit down first."

   "Prince!" Ma Shang couldn't help shouting "Prince".

"Well, Brother Guoshang, I have my own concerns about this matter." Wang Ziteng forgave the other party helplessly, "But it needs to be carefully discussed, and the Feng family's status is also very sensitive, so if I contact you rashly, I'm afraid he may not agree. Such a confidential matter,..."

   After pondering for a while, Wang Ziteng asked: "Enhou, Cun Zhou, you are thinking about this matter, please invite Mr. Feng to come to your house for a while, how about it?"

  Jia Zheng took a look at his elder brother Jia She, then got up and said, "Second Brother, Feng Jia Dalang has made an appointment to come to the mansion in the future, but we don't know what to do..."

   This kind of intercession is smooth, and the joints are not easy to grasp. Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng feel a little embarrassed.

Wang Ziteng also knew that this was a bit embarrassing, but he himself could not directly intervene. It would be safer to use the Jia family and other personal relationships that are not deeply connected with the imperial court to operate. Otherwise, as Hou Xiaokang said, Feng Ziying was naturally not afraid of being watched by Captain Long, since she would be in trouble.

   "Enhou, Cun Zhou, how about this, you should wait for Feng Ziying to come, find an opportunity to talk to him about today's situation, don't talk about other things, just ask the court to give him a lighter sentence if possible..."

Wang Ziteng pondered for a while, "Needless to say about Ma Xia, even his house can't be controlled. As long as the other houses of Ma's house can't be involved too deeply, even if some money and goods are lost, it's also worth it." acceptable,…"

   Ma Shang nodded again and again, "Enhou, Cunzhou, the prince is right, don't worry about Ma Xia, as long as we can keep our few rooms, other things are easy to talk about..."

   Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng definitely couldn't listen to Ma Shang, but they had to listen to what Wang Ziteng said, and at the same time they knew that Wang Ziteng would not harm them.

  Jia Zheng nodded again: "In that case, let's wait until Mr. Feng Jia Dalang comes the next day, and we will find an opportunity to talk to others, but..."

Wang Ziteng nodded knowingly: "Let's talk about it, I don't think Feng Ziying will express his opinion lightly. If there are no three or five rounds for such things, it is rare to have a result.... In addition, the Supreme Emperor may also have to talk about it." Said, Brother Jizong and Dao will go with me tomorrow when we arrive first, and ask him to say hello to the emperor,..."

   As for how to discuss in private, I have to talk about it.

On the way back from the palace, Jia She kept thinking about it, until he got off the car, Jia She suddenly stopped Jia Zheng and said, "Second brother, is it the Ma family's business if something happens to the Ma family? We don't have much contact with each other. In the past, their Ma family didn't pay much attention to our Jia family. Although this time they have the meaning of a brother-in-law, Ma Shang also said that there must be good rewards. We, the Jia family, still have to take some risks when we get involved in such matters. And with some kindness,..."

  Jia Zheng understood what his elder brother meant when he heard it, that was to scrape some money from the Ma family, and immediately looked embarrassed: "Brother, how can we talk about such things?"

"Second brother, our Jia family has a big business now, thousands of people, people eat horse chews, and the business has not been good in the past two years. The weather in Zhuangzi is not good for harvest. I heard that many things in my mother's place have been mortgaged. , I'm afraid it won't be a long-term solution, so I have to earn some income,..."

   Jia She was expressionless, but Jia Zheng hesitated, but he also knew what his brother said was true.

  My wife also lamented several times in front of me that this family is not easy to manage. When talking about various expenses, they can only increase but not decrease, but the annual income does not increase.

   "Brother, I'm afraid..."

"Second brother, you are thin-skinned, so you don't have to worry about such things. When the time comes, Lian'er and I will discuss it. The Ma family has a big business. Over the years, Ma Xia and Ma Qiu have made a lot of money outside. Now Something happened, but we asked us to pay favors to wipe their buttocks, how can it be such a light thing? Ma Shang himself said that he knew that this matter could be settled, and he was willing to report generously. We can't let us pay favors and pay money ?”

   Jia Zheng smiled wryly and was speechless. His elder brother had a plucking temper. Wouldn’t it be nice to make a fortune when encountering such a thing?

   "Brother, it's better to be safe with things like this, don't make everyone look ugly..." Jia Zheng knew that he might not be able to convince the other party, so he could only remind him.

"Well, as a brother, you know how to measure, so you don't have to say anything else, just let Lian'er and I handle it." Seeing that Jia Zheng had succumbed, Jia Amnesty smiled triumphantly: "We must handle this matter properly." It is."
