Chapter 120 Killing three birds with one stone, Marquis Zi Yi’s plan is so terrifying!
“Your Majesty, all members of the Zhen family have been brought to justice!”

“Master Xue has killed ten people, and I will report back!”

Less than half an hour later, Hou Jingyun, his body covered in blood and full of murderous intent, came out to report.

Behind him, there followed Xue Pan, who was holding a knife with blood dripping from the blade and a slightly dull look in his eyes.

“Brother Xue, have you ever blamed me?”

Jia Cong looked at Xue Pan and asked.

“This……”

“My Lord, you are wise. Xue Pan only feels grateful to you, not even a little resentful.”

Xue Pan woke up as if from a dream, and knelt on one knee and spoke loudly.

Compared with the dandy boy before, Xue Pan’s face now showed a bit more determination and ruthlessness.

Jia Cong nodded.

When ordinary people encounter this situation, there are only two possible situations.

A kind of person who is so frightened that his mind is shattered that he can never recover.

One is to be tempered and have a much more mature mentality.

If Xue Pan was the first type, Jia Cong would not have interfered any more.

For Baochai’s sake, I will ensure that he will be rich and prosperous throughout his life.

But now it seems that Jia Cong was right.

Xue Pan can be considered a promising talent.

“withdraw troops!”

“Leave one hundred people behind to seal up the Zhen Mansion!”

“Send someone to notify the twenty-four departments of the Jinling Imperial Palace and have them come over to confiscate the property!”

“promise!”

……

Jinling Palace
“Zhen family…”

“Why would Marquis Zi Yi attack the Zhen family for no reason?”

On the palace wall, Zheng Hong, the eunuch guarding Jinling, had a look of doubt on his face.

Everyone in the upper echelons of Daqian knew that the emperor was standing behind the Zhen family.

In a sense, it provides a retreat for the royal family.

Zheng Hong, the eunuch guarding Jinling, had a status in the royal family that was no less than that of Xia Shouzhong, who was in charge of the Imperial Household Department and the Imperial City Department at that time.

Naturally, he knew the subtle changes brought about by the royal family’s dissatisfaction with the Zhen family in recent years.

Even so, it stands to reason that Lao Long didn’t close his eyes for a day.

No one dared to touch the Zhen family.

But today, Jia Cong just went against common sense.

“Godfather, I’ve found out.”

At this time, a eunuch came hurriedly.

“Just now, the younger ones came to report.”

“The second and third masters of the Zhen family made some unauthorized moves behind Zhen Yingjia’s back, trying to divide up the Purple Robe Marquis’ salt profits.”

“The Zhen family is just a small family, and they still want to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth?”

“Seek death!”

Zheng Hong sneered when he heard this.

Then he looked thoughtful.

“In three months, we have quelled the threat in Jiangnan and defeated the White Lotus Sect.”

“It will be difficult for them to come out and stir up trouble in the next few decades…”

“Mr. Purple Robe’s contribution this time is probably too great, and he wants to tarnish his reputation.”

“But if you touch the Zhen family, aren’t you afraid of the emperor’s wrath?”

“Although the Royal Family will not do anything to the Fourth Realm experts, after all…”

The eunuchs in the inner court do not live in a vacuum.

If you want to climb up quickly, you need to understand what your superiors are thinking, stand in the right position, and do what you should do.

more than anything.

Just like Zheng Hong knew before, the royal family had long been dissatisfied with the Jiangnan gentry and Bailu Academy’s attempts to control the government.

He then mixed in the gifts with all of Bailu Academy’s influence in Jiangnan and sent them over.

Otherwise, Jia Cong would not have acted so decisively.

Now another choice is presented to Zheng Hong.

“Report!”

“Your Highness!”

“Marquis Zi Yi just sent someone to the outside of the palace, asking Master Gan to send someone to search and confiscate the Zhen family’s property.”

Before Zheng Hong could figure it out.

Another young eunuch came to report.

These few words, like the sound of a huge bell, instantly made Zheng Hong clear his mind.

I couldn’t help but feel the urge to applaud.

“Great!” “Let us take people to confiscate the Zhen family’s property. Marquis Zi Yi’s move is…”

“On the surface it’s self-defilement, but in reality… it kills three birds with one stone!”

Zheng Hong alone noticed three of them.

Firstly, when Jia Cong destroyed the Zhen family, the charge of treason he put on him could not withstand investigation, and naturally there would be ministers who would impeach him when he returned to Beijing.

The purpose of self-pollution is achieved.

Secondly, by exterminating the Zhen family, he could once again shock Jiangnan. Even if Jia Cong returned to Beijing in the future, no one in Jiangnan would dare to touch Jia Cong’s interests.

Thirdly, and this is the most important point!
No matter how many interests there are, they all come down to one word: money!
The imperial court and the royal family!
Whether it is the Ministry of Revenue’s National Treasury or the Royal Treasury, who would complain that they have too much money?

The massive wealth accumulated by the Zhen family over the years flowed directly into the inner treasury.

I will take the blame for the murder, and all the benefits of the murder will go to the royal family.

Will the emperor be furious?
Probably not!
Is it a loss for Jia Cong?
If it were someone short-sighted, he would definitely feel at a disadvantage.

But let’s look at it from the perspective of a truly smart person.

Especially Zheng Hong’s position.

The weight of money is far less than that of power.

It is universal at any time.

It seems guilty, it seems like a disadvantage.

Haven’t you heard that many times, the current losses are for the sake of greater gains in the future?

After realizing this, Zheng Hong suddenly felt extremely impressed.

With such calculations, it’s no wonder that he could see through the White Lotus’ plot so clearly.

……

“Come on, gather all the people and follow us to search the Zhen family.”

“Tell the people below to keep their hands and feet in check. There are plenty of opportunities to make a fortune.”

“If anyone dares to embezzle, Marquis Zi Yi will be furious, and our family will not let him off.”

“By the way, Marquis Zi Yi loves land. When you compile the Zhen family’s property and present it to Your Majesty, don’t forget to put the land in the first line.”

In just a short moment, Zheng Hong figured out the role he should play in this matter.

He even sold out Jia Cong without saying a word.

The royal family usually wins over ministers.

If conditions permit, you should also give the other person what he likes!

……

Jinling Jia Family
Like Shenjing, this place also has Ningrong Street, as well as the Ning and Rong mansions occupying the same street.

The Jia family has a total of twenty households.

The Eight Houses of Shenjing are close relatives of the first two Dukes Ning and Rong.

The Twelve Houses of Jinling are distant relatives.

Most of the Jia family members in Jinling came to a courtyard behind the Ning and Rong mansions.

“Fourth uncle, you have to make the decision for us on this matter!”

“You watched Mu’er grow up, and now he was chopped to pieces in the street.”

“Fourth uncle, there are not enough Jias in the twelve branches of the Jinling Jia family and the eight branches of the Shenjing family!”

“In terms of seniority, my son is the cousin of the Purple-Robed Marquis!”

An old man with white hair and beard was sitting on the main armchair.

Jia An!

The one with the highest seniority among the twenty branches of the Jia family.

In terms of seniority, he is the fourth uncle of the first generation of Ning and Rong Gong!

Even Lady Jia has to call him Fourth Uncle!

He is an innate martial artist and is now over 130 years old.

My life is coming to an end and I am getting very old.

He lived in seclusion in Jinling and seldom left his courtyard.

Today, Ma Ruyue led people to break into the Jia family and executed more than a dozen young people who were close to the Zhen family in the street.

This aroused the indignation of the twelfth branch of the Jia family, and they came to file a complaint.

“Are you finished?”

Jia An waited until everyone had finished talking before he opened his eyes.

“The Jia family has been a powerful family since the previous dynasty. A hundred years ago, the Zhen family was just a vassal of the Jia family.”

Jia An is at this age.

He is no longer able to fight others, but one can still see the ferocity and murderousness of the past on his face.

With a glare from the tiger, everyone in the room suddenly fell silent.

“If there is revenge to be taken, even if blood is splattered three feet, it will not bring disgrace to the reputation of this Jia family.”

“If I look at you again, you will dare to use insidious means behind my back!”

“You have brought disgrace upon the Jia family!”

As he spoke, he slammed the cane in his hand to the ground.
