Chapter 66 Calculation (Part 2)
In the Yangxin Palace, Emperor Xiaomu sighed as he looked at the memorials that had piled up like a mountain. Just as he was about to accept his fate and get down to work, he heard a slight sound from the roof.
The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and waved to the eunuchs standing by the door, signaling them to go out.
The two eunuchs said nothing, bowed slightly and left, and very considerately closed the door.
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty, Wang Ziteng has made a move."
Wang Ziteng? Emperor Xiaomu's heart skipped a beat. "What did he do?"
"When something happened to the Wang family, he first transferred twelve personal guards from the Beijing Camp. Last night, he transferred another eighteen people from the Beijing Camp. These eighteen people belonged to different camps. They were the ones that the officers of each camp were very interested in and had decided to put on the training list. According to the secret report of Anqi, they knew each other and were likely to be the secret agents of the Wang family planted in the Beijing Camp."
The secret guard said without a word, "Wang Ziteng originally wanted to use the officers to train his own people."
“…”
Emperor Xiaomu frowned, "What happened now? Why did he change his mind again?"
"Anwu, who is in contact with Anqi, is investigating secretly. This matter should be related to Madam Shen from Ningguo Mansion."
The secret guard continued, "The two midwives that Madam Shen kept had an accident yesterday. Jia Zhen and Jia She from Ningguo Mansion brought a group of people from the Jia family and smashed the house of Chen Chong, the sixth-rank official of the Ministry of Works."
The melon from yesterday tastes just as fresh today.
The secret guards discovered that anything related to Madam Shen was beneficial to their master.
Seeing that the emperor's eyes were also shining, he simply recounted the big melon in Fulong Street from the beginning.
To be honest, whether Mrs. Shen can survive this disaster is also very important to them.
It took a while for Emperor Xiaomu to hear the whole story. While he felt contempt for the Chen family, he couldn't help but worry about Madam Shen's health.
Wang Ziteng fell. Although the people who temporarily replaced him in the Beijing camp were still his father's men, his people also climbed up a small step.
Now Wang Ziteng is moving again. Regardless of whether it is because of Madam Shen's accident or not, he has transferred back the people he secretly trained for safety reasons. At least with these eighteen people with potential gone, his people have more opportunities.
In the past few years, Emperor Xiaomu, like Wang Ziteng, has placed inconspicuous but promising soldiers in various camps, trying to wait for them to grow up and quietly take control of the entire Beijing camp.
now……
"Where is Anwu now?"
Emperor Xiaomu said, "The Jia family should have hired another midwife, right? Ask him to check it out immediately. If there is any problem..." He made a chopping motion, "Also, find out for me who is targeting the Jia family."
Bully Jia Jing because he is not at home?
Or does he have a grudge against the Jia family and is using this to test Jia Jing?
Was the incident of Wang Ziteng scaring the horse and the midwife this time the work of the same person? Or did someone think that the Jia family was in trouble and wanted to take advantage of the situation to take a bite? In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Emperor Xiaomu's mind, "If Jia Zhen has any revenge actions, you can help him if you can. Under appropriate circumstances... provide him with some information."
It is true that Jia Zhen cannot be compared with Jia Jing, but Jia Jing... is not easy to use, at least he is not easy to use here.
For two generations in a row, the Ningguo Mansion has defended the capital for Taizu and my father. Their loyalty is unquestionable.
Jia Jing was the most outstanding among the nobles.
So my father had already arranged for him to be married to my elder brother.
If nothing happened to his elder brother, he would surely become his elder brother's right-hand man, just like his father and grandfather.
But something happened to my brother.
Jia Jing's close relationship with the Beijing camp became a source of fear for both his father and himself.
He is an honest Taoist priest, which is good for everyone.
only……
Emperor Xiaomu also disliked those who took advantage of others' misfortunes.
"If his revenge is too lenient, you can help him be more ruthless."
In such a conflict, Jia Zhen did not kill anyone and sent someone to report to the authorities. In the eyes of Emperor Xiaomu, he was considered to be too soft-hearted.
The emperor, who has risen from a weak position to his current position in the palace, the place of greatest power, both appreciates and sighs over this.
However, this kind of Jia family is the most suitable for him and Dazhao now.
"Remember, don't let anyone see any traces. Everything was done by the Jia family."
The Jia family is the safest now.
Can't fall down.
"yes!"
The secret guard looked up, and after making sure that the emperor had no further instructions, he disappeared from the spot.
The emperor sat in the palace, thinking about his brothers, several kings of other surnames, and even the emperor emeritus, but he was always confused and couldn't make sense of it.
After thinking it over and over again, he clapped his hands twice in a row.
The closed palace door was quickly pushed open, and Eunuch Liu, who had not been here just now, walked in immediately, "Your Majesty..."
"Tell the Queen that I will have lunch with her at noon."
"……yes!"
The emperor has a lot of things to deal with, so he usually just has a quick bite here during lunch.
This suddenly has to go to the Queen...
Eunuch Liu glanced at the pile of memorials that had not yet been dealt with and quickly winked at his apprentice.
…
Those who were paying attention to Ningguo Mansion and preparing to have a banquet waited until the afternoon, but did not hear any movement from the mansion. Instead, the midwives who were invited in were politely sent out.
Oops!
The person who made the move is not good!
It's useless to just attack the midwife.
There are many midwives in this capital city.
Besides, she wasn't provoked, so maybe she could wait until the two midwives got better.
Wang Ziteng, who had made such a big move, felt very upset when he heard that others were still living a peaceful life.
Did he overreact?
Wang Ziteng's hands were shaking and his eyes were a little red.
Is it too late to let those people go back now?
"grown ups!"
Wang Jin came over carefully, "I just received news that several shops of the Chen family and the Wang family have been in trouble, and several people have been injured. They have united and hired a lawyer to sue the Jia family."
"…Just sue me!"
Wang Ziteng used great effort to control his emotions, "Shuntian Prefecture Governor Dong and Jia Jing are of the same age."
Even if they were not of the same age, little Chen Chong was someone Jia Zhen easily pressed.
Since Jia Zhen couldn't find the mastermind behind the incident, he had to look for those he could find.
"Okay, there's no need to report the Jia family's affairs anymore."
If he had been a little later yesterday, he might not have called people back.
Wang Ziteng now only hopes that the person behind the action is indeed someone powerful. Although he lost some people who could control the Beijing camp, it is not a big deal to save his family. "It's about the frightened horse. Since Dashan and the others are back, investigate it for me."
"yes!"
Wang Jin strode out.
At the same time, Shen Ning continued to live her daily life under the command of Liu Wenpo.
At this time, in order to take care of Liu Wenpo, she took her on a boat and slowly went down the river.
This stream of fresh water drawn from the moat flows through almost every part of Huifang Garden. You can take a boat at home. Life is pretty good. "Sister Yan, when do you think you can recover?"
"...I have returned to my own home to recuperate after giving birth. If I take care of myself, I should be able to do the same as an ordinary person."
Midwife Liu took a look at her belly but didn't say anything scary.
"Then Chen Tang..., how do you feel?"
Shen Ning had already asked Wang Po and others who had gone with her, and she had even gone to Qingzhu's place to take a look. This big fight against the two midwives seemed to be directed at her, but for some reason, she felt that it had nothing to do with her at all.
If there really is someone behind the scenes who wants to deal with her, they should know that after such a long period of recuperation, her health is very good and her emotions are stable.
It's not that she would collapse and have a difficult birth if she had just a little bit of stimulation.
But the other party did it anyway.
Shen Ning always felt something was wrong.
"Mr. Chen is really good to Miss Yan."
Liu Wengpo was full of emotion. She had been a midwife for more than ten years and she had seen countless women giving birth with men who were indifferent. "When we went there, he had just broken open the door of the ancestral hall and escaped. Although he didn't recognize us, he knew that it was Kui Ge'er who led us there, and he tried his best to protect us. Zhong Wengpo was able to get in because of his desperate protection. But unfortunately, he was hit three times in a row. Zhong Wengpo went in, but she couldn't beat four people with her two fists, and she was hit hard."
At this point, she was very grateful, "Luckily, Madam invited Manager Chen from Huichuntang, otherwise, I'm afraid none of us would be able to see the sun today."
"...I was thinking that Sister Yan had a difficult delivery and Brother Kui was weak, so if anything happened he could give her medicine in time."
Shen Ning sighed in her heart, "I didn't expect that even at that point, Wang Shi would still be so abominable."
At that time, when she looked through her memories of the Red Mansion, there was no such person as Jia Kui.
It's just a momentary thought.
"Chen Chong is able to hold a position of power in the Ministry of Industry, so he must have some brains. I wonder what hatred he has for his eldest son that would make him treat him so badly."
The eldest son's future was obvious and with a little help he could bring honor to the family, but he was treated like that.
Shen Ning felt that something was not right with the Chen family, and had asked Jia Zhen to investigate. "But since you all said that the son-in-law is very good, then all his things cannot be given to Chen Chong and the Chen family."
As the son-in-law of the Jia family, of course the Jia family had to fight for him for the things that belonged to his mother.
"My wife is kind-hearted!"
Granny Liu smiled.
She really thought that this lady was a kind person.
The Thousand Character Classic was placed there, and any maidservant in the courtyard who wanted to learn to read could go and read it for a while. As long as the pens, ink, paper and inkstone were not wasted, they could all be used.
If they didn't know or couldn't write, they would either ask the maid to teach them or she would teach them herself.
These days, she has learned dozens more words.
"Then there are indeed many unreasonable aspects in the way that Master Chen treats his eldest son, unless he is afraid that his son-in-law will become too powerful and will... deal with him in the future."
But what could make a father so scared of his son? Unless his first wife did not die of natural causes.
Shen Ning took a deep breath and said, "What you said makes sense." She smiled and said, "Qing Ping, ask someone to go to Kui Ge'er's house and invite Master Chen over. I have something to ask him."
"yes!"
Qingping signaled to the old woman to move closer to the shore, and soon a little maid ran out.
At the same time, Chen Chong, who was at her wit's end, also went to Jia Kui's house.
