Wang Ziteng's eyes slightly avoided when he heard this. He didn't understand what Jia Zheng wanted to do by suddenly asking about this matter.

Could it be that this guy also found out that I was planning to marry my daughter Wang Qing'er, who was well-educated, well-mannered and able to distinguish right from wrong, to the peak master?

Could it be that he saw through my thoughts?

No! This must not be known to anyone!

Moreover, this guy has two daughters. One was sent to the Shenjing Palace, and the other has an engagement but is not married yet!

Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng smiled and shook his head.

"I really don't know anything about this matter."

"After all, you know my identity. Even now... hehe, it's a bit embarrassing!"

As soon as Jia Zheng heard this, he knew that Wang Ziteng was not telling the truth, but he was just asking casually.

Then he said,

"By the way, I heard that my brother-in-law Lin Hai lives in Yangzhou. I've been here for many days but haven't visited him yet."

"I wonder if it would be convenient for me to visit the Lin residence?"

Wang Ziteng thought for a moment before saying,

"If it's an ordinary person, it's easy to talk to."

"But as for Lin Hai, I need to ask Jin Ling for permission."

"Oh? Why is this?"

Jia Zheng asked curiously.

Wang Ziteng shook his head slightly and did not answer.

Then he changed the subject.

"The court has already dispatched Prince Shui Rong of Beijing to the south. He'll likely arrive in a few days. But I'm wondering what your next plan is, Brother Zheng."

Jia Zheng sighed softly upon hearing this, and shook his head with an embarrassed look on his face.

"I don't need my uncle, Rongguo Mansion is still in the capital!"

Wang Ziteng nodded, reached out and patted Jia Zheng on the shoulder, and said no more.

……

Jinling.

Li Qingfeng threw the report in his hand to the ground and stood up, slamming the table.

"Damn it, how dare you attack my Qingfeng Village's militia?"

"Go! Find Zhao Dagou for me!"

Two men in student clothes bowed and trembled, trying to persuade him.

"Peak Master, please calm down. This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Qingfeng Li frowned.

"Tang Bohu, Zhu Yunming, this is not my fault. It's the landlords, the wealthy bourgeoisie who are going too far!"

"The areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian near Nanjing are relatively better, but the Qingfeng Jiutiao of my Qingfeng Village fell into oblivion after entering Hunan and Jiangxi. In addition, those people even instigated the people to attack the officials stationed in the villages to distribute the land."

"This is not about whether to calm down or not, this is a matter of principle!"

"Principles must not be trampled upon by anyone!"

Yes, these two students were none other than Tang Yin and Zhu Yunming, two of the four great talents of Jiangnan.

Now, both of them are officials of Da Wu, assigned to the Jinling prefectural government office to assist Li Qingfeng in handling affairs.

There were many twists and turns before these two people could get to where they are today.

When Zhu Yunming fell into the hands of Qingfeng Village, Tang Yin used his connections to go to Yangzhou in person to meet Li Qingfeng and plead for mercy.

After some discussion, Qingfeng Li asked Tang Yin to stay in Yangzhou for a while.

Tang Yin was deeply impressed by Li Qingfeng's kindness to the people, and he had heard a lot about him during his time in Yangzhou.

Knowing that Qingfeng Li was a man of his word, he waited in Yangzhou.

Although the war between the imperial court and Qingfeng Village at that time made many people in Yangzhou feel panic and fear.

However, Tang Yin felt that the people were still working as usual every day and there was no unrest.

I was very curious until Jinling was captured by Qingfeng Village.

As one of the students recommended to study in Jinling, he went to Jinling to meet his good friend Zhu Yunming.

The other party's words, "Serving the people of Da Wu", shocked Tang Yin.

Tang Yin, who was originally preparing to resign and return home, gloriously joined the Da Wu and became a member serving the people after being persuaded by his good friend Zhu Yunming.

During the time he spent with Qingfeng Li, Tang Yin's ambitions had been able to flourish.

Countless good ideas, as long as they are beneficial to the people and to Da Wu,

Qingfeng Li would accept advice without hesitation.

After seeing the report from Hunan and Jiangxi, Tang Yin knew that something big was going to happen, and hurriedly pulled Zhu Yunming to come to Li Qingfeng to persuade him.

After hearing what Qingfeng Li said,

Tang Yin hurriedly bowed and clasped his fists.

"Peak Master, what you said is absolutely right! But now that our Great Wu has mobilized troops to rescue more places, if we suddenly send a large number of troops to suppress them, I'm afraid the soldiers in those places will encounter strong resistance, resulting in many more casualties!"

Zhu Yunming also clasped his fists and said solemnly,

"That's right! Peak Master, the Great Wu is no longer the same as it was before, and the place where things happened here is now under the jurisdiction of our Great Wu."

"Therefore, everything must be done according to the law. We must not impose laws on others just because of the Peak Master's momentary mood or anger!"

After hearing what the two said, Qingfeng Li looked at them and asked,

"According to what you said, I can only watch them cause chaos?"
