After helping Shi Zhongkui up, Shui Rong hurriedly took a few steps back and bowed respectfully.

"It's true that the little king enjoys good fortune, but it is all due to the emperor's grace and the legacy of his ancestors. Mr. Liu Yuan should not make fun of the little king."

Shi Zhongkui chuckled, "Qiantose is so humble, no wonder His Majesty likes you so much."

At first glance, these words sounded good, but when Shui Rong thought of the emperor's brother, King Zhongshun, his heart suddenly ached.

This competition for favor is not just among eunuchs, it is only between concubines, and it may be even more fierce among ministers.

As the emperor's most loyal minister, Prince Zhongshun has been causing trouble for him every day since the emperor deliberately attracted the four princes with foreign surnames.

If this word reaches the ears of King Zhongshun, you can imagine how much trouble will be waiting for you.

If King Zhongshun and Shi Zhongkui were together, Shui Rong would have a big headache just thinking about it.

It was even the first time that the name Chitose sounded harsh.

Moreover, when I went to attend the funeral of the eldest daughter-in-law of Ningguo Mansion, I was too young. Now it seems that I am indeed Meng Lang.

Although it creates signs that the Jia family is moving closer to him, in fact the Jia family is not as stupid as imagined.

Except that Jia Baoyu occasionally came to his palace as a guest.

Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Jia Zheng never came once.

Jia She simply hid in his east courtyard and indulged himself in the entertainment and entertainment, only caring about having fun and not paying any attention to foreign affairs.

When he started to trick Shi Zhongkui last year, Shui Rong felt that the Jia family was showing signs of moving closer to Shi Zhongkui, so he couldn't hold back and wanted to dig a hole to trick Shi Zhongkui.

But I didn't expect that people could see through my thoughts at a glance.

He didn't answer the conversation at all, he even changed the subject and ignored himself.

Now that he has found an opportunity, he has even tricked Jia Baoyu, his brother-in-law, to cause trouble for himself.

After provoking such a ruthless person, Shui Rong wanted to slap himself in the mouth.

He secretly said that he still had little knowledge and did not know the sinister and selfish nature of the human heart.

He could only submit softly and said, "Little Wang was like Meng Lang back then, and he will ask Liu Yuan Gong for more teachings in the future. If he can serve you, it will be a blessing for Little Wang."

The corners of Shi Zhongkui's mouth turned up and he smiled, this kid was digging a hole for himself again.

If you accept a prince with a foreign surname as your disciple, you will know how much trouble there will be.

"Chitose and Xiaguan are about the same age, so how can Xiaguan be qualified to give guidance to Chitose? Moreover, I heard that Chitose's family invited dozens of people who were well-read in poetry and books, and even held literary gatherings from time to time. I thought that Chitose must have a lot of knowledge.

Furthermore, Qiantai's actions have prevented all the sages from being buried in the countryside and have the opportunity to write books and biographies, which can be considered a great merit."

Shui Rong started to sweat when he heard these words.

The eunuchs and officials who were listening attentively around him, as well as the officials who were coming in and out, all looked at Shi Zhongkui with fear in their eyes.

My dear, there are a few officials in the family, a dozen or so talented people who can't even pass the Jinshi examination. It's really not a big deal to treat people as purge guests.

But if you 'write books and biographies so that talents will not be buried', it will be serious.

To put it mildly, you are just inviting me.

To put it more seriously, isn't Li Shimin's fat son Li Tai just like water-soluble?

But Li Tai's ending was not very good. The things he had done were considered trivial to be decapitated over Shui Rong's head.

At this time, Shui Rong directly regarded Shi Zhongkui as a madman. How much hatred and resentment would he have to say such a thing?

I wanted to leave directly, but after thinking about it, I still bowed respectfully, and then hurriedly walked towards the palace gate.

Shi Zhongkui chuckled, he was not a mad dog that bites everyone he meets.

This test basically confirmed that the water solution was excessive.

Although it is a bit subjective, it is incredible to think that an 18 or 9-year-old young prince is so good at forbearance.

Moreover, he was only 15 or 6 years old when he went to attend Qin Keqing's funeral, which was obviously to win over the Jia family.

Therefore, the more mature and rational Shui Wong appears, the more it shows that he has a big ambition.

Otherwise, it would be normal for a prince who lost his father early and inherited a prince to become a playboy.

But the truth is the opposite, so I don't believe it when Shui Rong doesn't have a goal that allows him to ignore all kinds of temptations.

What else could be the goal that a county king would be obsessed with?

This matter quickly spread throughout the government and the public, and Shui Rong didn't even realize that talking to Shi Zhongkui today was a mistake in itself.

-----

Although Eunuch Liu did not know the specific content of the conversation between Shi Zhongkui and Shui Rong, he still found out from his subordinates that Shui Rong was forced to retreat by Shi Zhongkui's few words.

Therefore, I was afraid of Shi Zhongkui and could no longer be afraid.

Even though he was scolding Shi Zhongkui in his heart, he still kept a smile on his face.

It's just that this smile looks a little unnatural.

Shi Zhongkui smiled and put his hand into the sleeve of his official uniform.

When he stretched out his hand, the patterns on the banknotes were faintly exposed in his palm, and Eunuch Liu's expression immediately changed.

He waved his hand with a smile and covered it with his sleeve, and the banknote fell into his hand.

Then I squeezed the thickness of the stacked banknotes with my hands, and felt very happy. If nothing else happened, they must be two thousand taels of banknotes.

He secretly said that although Mr. Liu Yuan was stingy and vindictive, he also understood the principles of being a human being and an official.

Once this money is given away, everyone becomes one of their own.

He hurriedly stretched out his hand and supported Jia Zheng, who was still kneeling on the ground with a smile, and said, "I will truthfully report the respect and filial piety of the government to your majesty and the saint. Now why not go to Ning Mansion and see Uncle Zhen, Grandma Ning Mansion and

Madam, how are you?"

Then he helped Jia Lian up with his own hands.

As for Jia Baoyu, he was simply ignored by Eunuch Liu.

Jia Lian is Yingchun's relative, and Baoyu is his cousin. The distance between them can be known at a glance.

Besides, Jia Baoyu is a 13-year-old boy who is neither motivated nor profitable, so why would Eunuch Liu care about him?

Jia Zheng was so close that although he couldn't see the expressions of Shi Zhongkui and Eunuch Liu, he could easily see what Shi Zhongkui had just given the banknote.

Secretly he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Bo Qian still had the courage to give away at least two to three thousand taels of silver.

But in this case, I owe him another favor.

Then he stood up with the help of the attentive Shi Zhongkui, thanked Eunuch Liu, and then walked lamely to the Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu naturally followed. Wang Xifeng wanted to follow, but after being stared at by the Xiu Yiwei for a few times, he immediately lost the courage.

I can only go back to the sedan chair honestly.

I got bored sitting there, so I simply ordered people to go back to Rongguo Mansion and report to Jia Mu.

A group of embroidered guards guarding the gate had already moved out of the way and even bowed to watch Shi Zhongkui, Jia Zheng and others enter the Ningguo Mansion.

Jia Zheng sighed again in his heart, but it was too difficult for him, an old master, to continue to work hard at an age of nearly 50.

And if he really had that ambition and ability, he wouldn't have wasted so many years.

He could only subconsciously hold Shi Zhongkui's hand tightly and sigh, "Bo Qian, I have never been so lucky for my uncle. I strongly approved of the marriage between you and the second girl."

After saying that, he reacted and cupped his hands in the direction of the Imperial Palace and Longshou Palace, "Your Majesty and the Saint should be merciful, otherwise Baochai and the second girl will not be able to have a good relationship with you."

Shi Zhongkui smiled. After this incident, the Jia family would naturally move closer to him, and it was natural for him to take over the military relationship of several generations of the Jia family.

As for Wang Ziteng, all the nobles who know about this incident actually have a strong point in their hearts.

One of them ran actively after knowing it, while the other pretended to be deaf and dumb.

It is a person who also knows how to choose.

After all, a distinguished family like the Jia family will inevitably think that if one day their own family is in trouble, only people like Shi Zhongkui will help.

It can be said that from helping the Jia family this time, I didn't get any benefits obviously, but secretly I made a lot of money.

"Second uncle, please rest assured for the time being. I don't have the energy to worry about anything else in the court for a while." Shi Zhongkui pointed to the north with his body and said "grassland" secretly.

Jia Zheng didn't understand it at first, but when he saw Shi Zhongkui making a gesture of drawing his sword, he realized that war was likely to break out this year.

In this way, unless it is a crime such as treason or treason, the stability of the government will indeed overwhelm many problems.

But what Jia Zheng didn't know was that if Xiu Yiwei hadn't found the five paper pictures of the Five Ghosts in the Dengxian Pavilion, and Ning Guofu was actually a victim, how could things have been that simple?

And Jia Zhen was used to being domineering in Ningguo Mansion, so he really had no reason to harm Mr. You and Mrs. You.

On the contrary, it is more likely that the unknown black hand wants to harm Jia Zhen.

To a certain extent, in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, Jia Zhen and Jia Fu, who were targeted by the witchcraft, were teammates who could win over and form alliances.

In addition, Shi Zhongkui has implicated Prince Shui Rong of Beijing County, so the Supreme Emperor may not let him go.

There are two people with the surname **** on Dazhou, who look a bit like Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, and Geng Jingzhong.

Therefore, when dealing with water-soluble issues, you must be cautious.
