When Jia Zhen and Jia Lian heard that the disaster was coming, their hearts suddenly tightened, but deep in their hearts, they had a vague idea that Shi Zhongkui was unlucky and they were happy.

Unfortunately, before he was happy for a few seconds, Shi Zhongkui stood up and said, "Brothers, please follow me to the study to talk."

Jia Lian instantly realized that the so-called disaster probably had nothing to do with Shi Zhongkui.

The three of them entered the study. Before they even took a sip of tea, Shi Zhongkui frowned at Jia Lian and asked, "Brother Zhen, do you know that Brother Lian knows Jia Hua, a person from Jia Yucun?"

"I know, I know."

How could Jia Zhen and Jia Lian not know about Jia Yu Village? After all, there are many Jia family branch clan members in Jinling, and Jia Yu Village is the prefect of Jinling. All the scandals committed by some clan members have to be covered up by Jia Yu Village.

Whenever Jia Yucun offered help, he would definitely send a letter to the Jia Mansion in the capital to ask for credit.

"In the past two years since Jia Yucun took office, his political performance and official reputation have been pretty good. But he shouldn't have done anything to straighten up his concubine, and openly allowed her to live in the main house of the government office."

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian didn't take it seriously upon hearing this, but since Shi Zhongkui wanted to attack Jia Yucun, how could he let this opportunity pass?

"This matter is not a big deal in normal times, but since His Majesty took the throne, he has often said that the world should be governed by filial piety and etiquette.

In addition, Jia Yucun had already been dismissed from office after committing the crime of disobeying etiquette many years ago. This time he was caught in such a situation, and even being dismissed from office is considered a minor matter."

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian's expressions changed greatly.

The first offender can be excused by negligence, but the second offender must be severely punished no matter which dynasty he is placed in.

And since Jia Yucun helped cover up scandals for the Jia family, once the censor investigates, the Jia family will inevitably be implicated.

Jia Zhen was not completely confused yet, so she hurriedly asked, "How did my dear brother know about this?"

When Shi Zhongkui heard this, he picked up the tea bowl and sipped the tea in silence.

Except for the incident in Jia Yucun, everything else is false.

From the beginning to the end, he never said that the censor had known about Jia Yu Village, let alone that the censor had visited Jia Yu Village.

But Jia Zhen and Jia Lian sounded like this.

Such ambiguous words make it easier to deceive others, and Jia and Zhen will make up many things on their own.

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui was silent, the two of them quickly understood after thinking for a moment.

People would remind me that this was a big help for the sake of relatives. As for how the matter came to be known, it must have been informed by Yu Honggao.

But it’s hard to say this clearly.

Thinking of the bad things happening to the same clan in Jinling, as well as Jia Yu Village, Jia Zheng and Jia She went to Wang Ziteng together, and then he was reinstated as the prefect of Jinling.

If this is implicated, maybe Jia Zheng, Jia She and Wang Ziteng will all be implicated.

Although it may not be certain what will happen to the Jia and Wang families in the end, no matter how stupid the Jia Zhen brothers are, they understand that if someone catches them, they will have to shed their skins even if they don't die.

If it really affects Wang Ziteng, it would be like cutting off an arm. No, it should be the loss of the backbone of the Jia, Shi, Xue and Wang families.

Of course, we have to send someone to check whether this is true or not.

As Wang Ziteng's niece and son-in-law, Jia Lian was of course more concerned.

He hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Xian brother, why don't you ask me to teach you what to do?"

Shi Zhongkui then said, "Think carefully, and move me away from the unsightly position of Jinling Magistrate. I got what I wanted, and for the sake of money, the Jia family, and the Wang family, I won't pursue this matter anymore."

"

What he said, but Shi Zhongkui believed that Wang Ziteng would never just transfer Jia Yucun away, and would force him to resign if he couldn't.

Even without forcing him, Jia Yucun would resign due to illness.

The advantage of doing this is that you will have a chance to recover in two or three years.

After looking at Jia Zhen and Jia Lian who were hesitant and unable to make the decision, Shi Zhongkui smiled to himself and revealed his trump card.

"Brothers, it's better to go back and report the matter and make a decision early. Otherwise, I will send the two memorials to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel respectively.

There will inevitably be censors and Liu Keyan officials who take action upon hearing this. Once Jia Yucun really fails to abide by the etiquette system, he will definitely be dismissed from office.

Even if the emperor knew about this, the Xiuyi Guards would probably escort Jia Yucun to Beijing."

Now Jia Zhen and Jia Lian had no intention of staying any longer. They hurriedly thanked them and hurried home.

As soon as I got home, I went straight to Jia Mu's yard.

Not long after, Jia She was invited, and Jia Zheng's servants also went to the Yamen to inform him.

After a while, Jia Zheng took leave and hurried home.

Jia's mother didn't wait for Jia Zheng to sit down, and asked quickly, "Zhen'er, Lian'er, do you think this is true?"

Jia Zhen hurriedly stood up and replied, "Old lady, how dare Shi Boqian deceive my family about something that can be known at a glance.

And Brother Boqian was right. The emperor did say many times that the Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety and etiquette.

In addition, the investigation of Bai Lian by the Xiuyi Guards was in the limelight some time ago. If you were killed by those people, you would know how you would give up the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds.

Even if he doesn't do anything to my family, he still has to come to my door every three days to ask for some money.

Once or twice is okay, but we can’t keep letting people use this matter to control my Jia family. By then, even the gold and silver will not be enough to satisfy the appetite of those people."

The expressions of Jia Mu and Jia She suddenly changed. Jia Zheng was shocked and hurriedly asked Jia Lian. Only then did he know the cause and effect of the matter.

I immediately regretted it, but what this guy said was really shirking responsibility.

"Oh, I shouldn't have believed in Jia Yucun just based on Mr. Lin's recommendation."

Jia She rolled her eyes at Jia Zheng, and Jia's mother also began to regret in her heart. It was not out of Jia Yucun's face that she thought of bringing Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu together.

If Jia Yucun was dismissed from office and Wang Ziteng and the Jia family were implicated, Lin Daiyu would definitely be even more disliked by Mrs. Wang and everyone in the Jia family.

Jia She glanced at Jia Zheng contemptuously, and said with a hint of joy in his heart, "What's the use of talking about this? It's better to think about how to solve this matter."

Jia Zheng suddenly became helpless and stopped talking.

If you ask him to talk about truth, it will be fine until your mouth is dry, but if you ask him to solve something, it will really embarrass an old master like Jia Zheng.

Seeing this, Jia's mother sighed and said, "Uncle Xue said that Jia Yucun must be blocking someone else's official path, so he suggested that my family spend some money to transfer Jia Yucun from the position of Jinling prefecture.

Things will be easier to handle.”

But Jia She shook his head and said, "Mother, let's not say whether Jia Yucun is willing or not, even if he is really transferred, is it really okay?"

Jia Mu's face darkened, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Now it was Jia She's turn to remain silent.

Some words can be known but cannot be expressed clearly.

But Jia Mu, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian all understood that Jia She wanted to plunge Jia Yucun directly into the mud and never have a chance to stand up.
