The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Many people were shocked by the actions of the Shadow Department and did not understand what the palace meant.

But when they saw that the Shadow Division had broken into the Duke Shanguo's mansion and arrested all of his family members, they were all shocked.

In the palace of the Prince of Beijing County.

Shui Rong no longer has the leisure and elegance of fishing that he once had.

After listening to the spy's report, his eyebrows were twisted into a knot.

After waving his hand to dismiss the spy, he looked at Mr. Wuzhai beside him and said,

"Sir, the Duke of Shan Guo was brought up by the late emperor. He has been with the late emperor all the time, going through many life and death situations!"

"Even if it was for the purpose of secretly mobilizing troops for the battlefield, it wouldn't be necessary to confiscate the Duke's property and charge him with a crime, right?"

Mr. Wuzhai pondered for a moment before saying,

"Your Highness, the Great Qian State is now in imminent danger. There are rebels in the south and Tartars in the north. The political situation is in turmoil and confusion, and even I cannot see clearly."

Shui Rong narrowed his eyes slightly and said,

"The four princes and eight dukes are originally from the same lineage. Now that Duke Li and Duke Zhenguo have died in battle, the elders of this generation are becoming fewer and fewer. How about protecting Duke Shanuo?"

Mr. Wuzhai frowned and shook his head.

"Your Highness, you can't! The Emperor is furious. You must not rashly plead for Duke Shanguo at this moment. Otherwise, not only will you fail to save him, but you might even be implicated!"

Shui Rong said helplessly,

"But if we don't protect the Duke of Shan Guo, the four princes and eight dukes will become fewer and fewer. I'm afraid that one day the emperor will die, and the emperor will immediately take action against us!"

Mr. Wuzhai shook his head slightly and advised,

"Your Highness, I cannot fathom the Emperor's thoughts, but he has ordered a grand court meeting tomorrow. I believe you will be able to learn something or other during the court session tomorrow."

"But what is certain is that the Emperor still cares about the Duke of Shan. If he really wanted to punish him according to the law, he could have just sent someone with the imperial edict to the army to execute him to boost morale. Why would he bring him back to the capital?"

"Right now, the other companies are all waiting and watching. It's better to be still than to act. You better keep your composure!"

Shui Rong nodded slightly when he heard this.

"Never mind, I know!"

Then he said to Mr. Wuzhai,

"Sir, please arrange for someone to take my letter to the Northern Division Envoy of the Shadow Division and ask him to take good care of the family of the Duke of Shan Guo!"

“Let’s also pay more attention to the other ones!”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!"

In Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng was in his study.

He summoned a group of retainers to discuss the current political situation.

But he found that his elder brother Jia She had not left yet.

I can't help but frown and say,

"Brother, are you okay today?"

These days, I don't know what's going on with my elder brother.

Whenever he discussed matters with the guests in his mansion, he would come here in advance and sit.

Jia Zheng was very annoyed that she neither spoke nor left.

This sentence is clearly a way to send the guest away. It's just short of telling him to get out of here if he's fine.

But Jia She seemed not to have heard it and shook his head.

"Ah, I'm fine, you go ahead and do your thing, I'll just sit here and watch!"

Jia Zheng's face darkened and he said,

"Brother, although I have displeased the old lady, she has not yet ordered me to hand over the head of the Rongguo Mansion to you."

"You are so impatient, I am afraid you can't eat hot tofu?"

In Jia Zheng's opinion, since the last incident,

Jia She intentionally or unintentionally showed off his status in the mansion, and even wanted to know about all the big and small things, family affairs and national affairs.

This is clearly forcing him to give up his position as the head of the Rongguo Mansion in advance!

Jia She laughed and said casually,

"That's fine, that's fine. I just think you're smart and courageous, and I want to learn from you in everything, so as not to displease the old lady."

"Second brother, you wouldn't be unhappy, would you?"

Listening to Jia She's wise and courageous words, Jia Zheng felt that he was mocking himself.

He was mocking him for hitting Baoyu's thing with a stick last time.

But the servants who beat Baoyu with a stick that day were all sent to the farm in his mansion to do hard labor, and no one in the mansion mentioned the matter again. Why did Jia She still keep pressing him?
