Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 226 Land Invasion Case

"Listen, I only reasoned with her, but she is playing tricks." How could Daiyu give up so easily.

Sister Feng still wanted to say something, but Jia Ying hurriedly interjected, "Second sister-in-law, let's talk about the business."

Sister Feng saw Jia Ying protecting Daiyu, and then looked at Jia Lian, who was idle like watching a play.

"Why did my old lady marry someone so unworthy?"

Looking at Jia Ying again, he said, "You are the one who initiated this matter, why do you still need to ask me?"

"Then it's settled, he will be dismissed from the position of chief executive, and then a faction will be selected to take over." Jia Ying said bluntly.

What do you mean it's settled?
Did I say anything?
Sister Feng looked surprised, and said that she didn't ask me, and she really didn't ask my opinion.

"Besides, in the ancestral hall, I have already discussed with the second master and brother Zhen. From now on, when the mansion is selected, it will be selected from the ethnology."

Jia Ying also mentioned this incident by the way, it doesn't matter here in the East Mansion, he just needs to say hello to You Shi, and it doesn't have as many things as the Rong Mansion's. Clear, I'm afraid there will be troubles later.

"Since it's something that the master has already decided, do I still have a chance to intervene?" Sister Feng said with a hint of sourness.

"The Lai family is also a servant of the world. You can't starve him to death if you relieve him of his errands. Tell me, how should this person be arranged?"

Jia Ying shook her head and said, "Just find him an errand, the second sister-in-law will take care of this matter."

If he said, it would be better to just kick him out, but it's a pity that the Lai family has more than one Lai Da in the two mansions, and there are so many servants in the Jia family, if Lai Da is just kicked out like this, it will inevitably make people in the mansion happy. Up and down restless.

Sister Feng got angry and didn't want to stay longer. Seeing Jia Ying's face made her upset.

At the same time, I secretly rejoiced that I had listened to his words and got my money back, otherwise, what happened today might happen to me again.

"I didn't realize it, but it turned out to be a ruthless one. Hmph." Sister Feng twisted her waist, and her steps quickened a lot.

Jia Ying hurriedly looked away, and said silently in her heart: "Don't look at evil, don't look at evil, Second Brother Lian is right next to you."

Something happened here, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and the others also left one after another. Tanchun Baochai and the others had nothing to do, and they intended to visit Huifang Garden. Seeing that Jia Ying refused to leave now, I knew the reason , They met and went to Keqing's room.

When everyone was leaving, Jia Ying remembered something and called Jia Qiang to stop.

"What is the second uncle's order?"

Seeing Jia Ying calling him, Jia Qiang felt unreasonable. Looking back on her today, she didn't seem to have done anything bad, but she had more money in her purse, but that was all due to Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong's brother's arguing with him, although He himself thought so too.

He grew up in the mansion when he was a child, and seeing many people who got rich by doing errands in the mansion, he was naturally jealous.

It can't be because of this matter.

He was thinking too much, the extra money given out by the mansion was originally used by Sister Feng as a favor, Jia Ying came to take care of it, and Rong Mansion was not owned by him.

"Are you seventeen this year?"

"Back to Second Uncle, my nephew's birthday is in May, and he will be seventeen after his birthday."

Jia Ying nodded. He is old this year. Even in his previous life, he would be considered an adult. Now, there are many people at his age who even have several children.

"You are not young anymore, you must stop doing cockfights and walking dogs all day long, and your family business should be established."

Jia Ying sounded like an elder.

Jia Qiang was flattered, why did the second uncle suddenly care about others?

Oh, speaking of it, the two of them are the closest in blood. His grandfather and Jia Ying's father are blood brothers, and his father and Jia Ying are blood uncles and brothers. I am Jia Ying's cousin, and the blood relationship is still there. Within three servings.

And his relationship with Jia Zhen has already reached the edge of the fourth server.

Jia Ying and Jia Zhen are three suits.

"What my second uncle taught me is that my nephew must keep it in mind."

"What are your plans for the future?" Jia Ying asked.

Jia Qiang kept silent, he didn't like reading, it was impossible for him to pursue an official career, and he had a lot of things, and he really didn't know what he could do after leaving the palace. Fortunately, I also came out of school, so it is not difficult to find a job or two in the future.

It's just that he didn't dare to say this to Jia Ying, for fear of being beaten.

Even though, Jia Ying never made a move.

But it didn't hinder his fear of Jia Ying.

"How about the accounting subjects taught in the school?" Jia Ying asked.

Jia Qiang still didn't answer with a bitter face. He thought that bookkeeping would be a matter of literacy soon?Unexpectedly, there are so many ways to learn, his uncle Xiao Qiang is a scholar.

"Shouldn't there be any problem with arithmetic?" The bookkeeping subject is a new version he revised, and now Yunji uses this account, and they learned arithmetic when they were young, and they have been in ethnology for more than ten years. No number.

Jia Qiang wanted to nod at first, because it was just counting, and it was not a difficult task, but then she thought about the school quiz, chickens and rabbits in the same cage, and other topics. After thinking about it, she decided to hold it steady and keep silent.

Jia Ying didn't want to ask any more, feeling tired.

He, Er Ye Ying, managed to get up with the idea of ​​supporting the younger generation, but he met a nephew with elm bumps.

"Forget it, go find Yun'er later, study with him for half a year, then go to the Xishan Mine to be a supervisor, and follow Miss Qi's orders, would you like to?"

Jia Qiang was overjoyed when she heard the sound, and hurriedly said, "Nephew is willing, thank you for your help."

"Let's talk about it first, the errands over there are not easy. If you go to the barren mountains and mountains, don't use your status to put on airs, and don't recruit bandits to eat wine and gamble like Jia Qin. People will die."

Jia Qiang's heart tightened, and she responded repeatedly.

Jia Ying wasn't threatening him, but he would really die, after all, it was a black coal mine.

In order to increase mining, Jia Ying lost the relationship with the Ministry of Industry and obtained approval for the use of black powder.

Moreover, the place in Xishan is not peaceful. There used to be a group of strongmen and bandits occupying it. Before, the people who wanted to dig carbon there had to pay a share of money. Now that it is occupied by him, those people will naturally not Take it easy.

"I've already bought the homestead that your father sold for you. It just so happens that the renovation work in my mansion is about to be completed. Later, you go to get some craftsmen to reopen your old house and renovate it. You can't Live in the government for the rest of your life."

Jia Qiang was even more delighted when she heard the words. Seeing that he was getting older, he had lived in Ning Mansion for a long time, and it was not a big deal. Besides, Jia Zhen was oppressing her and felt uncomfortable, and she had long thought of moving out.

But firstly, I don't know how to talk to Jia Zhen, and secondly, I came to his old house, and now there is only a small courtyard, three dilapidated tile-roofed houses, no rice, no cooking, and no people to live in.

He was also thinking about this matter, but he didn't think that Jia Ying would do it for him, so he couldn't help but feel warm, and felt that he should say something.

"My nephew thanked the second uncle for his kindness. If the second uncle has any trivial matters in the future, he can just tell the nephew to do it. If the nephew has nothing else, he still has a little time to spare. After all, the second uncle can rest assured."

Jia Ying chuckled lightly and said: "It's enough if you have the heart, take care of your own affairs, and I will tell you if there is anything to do."

"Go ahead."

Jia Qiang bid farewell to Jia Ying, she was overjoyed, and thought of going to Lixiangyuan.

It used to be that Aunt Xue's family lived there, and later it was vacated for the little actors who bought it.

After Jia Qiang left, Jia Ying had time to talk to Daiyu.

"It happened to me today, I'm afraid that there are many people in these two houses who hold grudges, and they will make things difficult for you because of me."

"If you don't have it, then just tell me. If you feel offended, you can move out. My aunt is not at home, but all my aunts and wives are here, so you won't be alone."

Daiyu replied: "Brother Yinger, you don't have to worry about me. I'm only in my yard on weekdays, or the old lady or my sisters. I don't interact with others, and I'm not afraid of them making things difficult for me. If I Wouldn't it hurt the old lady's heart to leave because of anger? Not to mention the broken relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, but also the loss of filial piety."

"My sister is right, but I think it's wrong."

He said this just to reassure Daiyu and let her know that now she is no longer dependent on others, and there is no need for her to feel depressed because of being angered by others.

It's just that I can't say it directly.

Besides, Daiyu is not welcoming the spring and cherishing the spring, so he is not too worried about it.

On the other hand, on the day of the Spring Festival, Jia Ying made such a disturbance, and the two houses were not at peace.

The death of the rabbit and the fox is sad. Although Wu Xindeng and the others are to blame for the matter, his family knows his own affairs. How many of them are slaves have clean hands? in this way.

Now that there is such a commotion, they are naturally uneasy, so they can't help inquiring about it in private.

Jia Qin was carried back, and her mother, Mrs. Yang, was crying and wanted to seek justice from the old lady, so she entered the Rong Mansion, and someone had already informed Sister Feng.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang have already ordered them to come down. They have been unwell for the past two days and have not seen any guests. These trivial matters of dealing with people naturally fell on Sister Feng.

Jia Ying caused trouble, but she had to wipe his ass by herself. Sister Feng naturally felt resentful, but she didn't show a good face when facing Yang's crying.

"Sister-in-law's words are plain and disgusting. Jia Qin went to take care of monks and Taoists in the family temple. You begged me before I agreed. I don't ask you for anything in return. As long as you do the job seriously, you are right. .”

"But it's good now. Look at the good deeds your son has done. It's only been a long time, and you've started to restrain yourself. It's all about embarrassing you, and you have to take me with you. Don't say that Brother Ying just let go of his errands. I hit him with a few sticks, if it were me, I would carefully peel off his skin."

Knowing that she was wrong, Yang did not dare to refute, and finally had no choice but to leave in despair.

Although the water sticks in the ancestral hall are no better than the water and fire sticks in the yamen, after thirty sticks, Jia Qin's buttocks are still swollen. If there is no resentment in his heart, he may not even believe him. Had to put up with it.

On Mammy Lai's side, she heard that her eldest son had been dismissed from the post of manager, so she entered the mansion on crutches to see Mother Jia.

And someone called Lai Da to kneel outside the gate of the courtyard.

She has a high seniority, Sister Feng is not good at blocking each other, and Mother Jia is not good at disregarding affection, so she can only let people in.

Seeing people coming in, Mother Jia asked for a seat, and said: "I heard from the girls that you let Lai Da kneel outside. He is also very old. How can he bear it? Let him get up."

"Old lady, I originally wanted that unfilial person from my family to come and kowtow to plead guilty to you. I'm afraid that you will feel troubled when you see him, so let him kneel outside the courtyard door and reflect."

Nanny Lai sighed: "I just met him, and I didn't say anything good. Now that he's grown up, he can do a lot. Don't you know that he can have what he has today, thanks to the grace of his master, and the love saved by his mother?" Point, don't talk about doing things seriously, in order to repay the master's kindness, why don't you know what is good or bad, and make mistakes one after another. The door post is the facade of the mansion, so it is given to people casually, even if you give it, you have to ask clearly what it is for Use it, just cause trouble for the mansion, pay attention carefully."

"Now I don't want to say anything good for him. It's good to avoid this job, so that he doesn't know the heights of the world and forget his duty. This time, I came here to make amends to the old lady because of my old face. "

Mother Jia listened to Nanny Lai's words, and comforted her, "You don't have to feel indebted. It is said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You came down with the grandfather, and you are far more respectable than others. Let them do whatever they want. It will not fall on your head, we are all old, how many years of good life are left, let them go."

Jia's mother bypassed Lai Da and didn't say anything, only said Lai Mammy, but she didn't want to get involved in this matter.

It is true that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and the kindness of generations.

Today's Jia Mansion belongs to the juniors, their era has passed.The love accumulated by the previous generation can protect the younger generation, but it is not a gold medal for avoiding death.

How is it outside, you don't know anything about her as an old lady?She also came from a daughter-in-law housekeeper, and has experienced more things than anyone else. Now that she is old, she doesn't want to worry about those anymore.

Besides, Jia Ying's actions, although she was a bit cruel-hearted, she couldn't escape a word of reason.

In this family, there must always be a sensible person to support the front. Her two sons are not that material.

Daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law are not bad, but the family is always supported by the men.

She also didn't want a hundred years later, how could Baoyu's soft temper like his Lao Tzu's subdue those shrewd servants, wouldn't he be bullied?

The old lady is not confused at all.

After hearing what Jiamu said, Nanny Lai sighed in her heart, and couldn't say anything more, chatted a few words about family matters, and then left.

Jia Ying didn't know anything about these, even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart.

With his current status, others would be afraid to see him, who would dare to find him uncomfortable.

A lesson from the past, a teacher of the future.

Not to mention, after Jia Ying made such a fuss, the atmosphere in the mansion really improved a lot, but no matter how great the deterrence is, it can't stand the passing of time. No one knows how long this situation can last.

Human beings have bad roots, and it is human nature to be selfish.For the subordinates, the Jia Mansion is a mountain of gold piled up, and the piles of silver are in front of them, and they only need to use some tricks to get riches and honors, who can't be tempted.

The wind in the courtyard of this deep house has never stopped.

Time passed day by day, after the Qingming Festival, the weather was warm, and the closed gate of the Grand View Garden was opened again.

With the decree of empress grace, my sisters and brothers are allowed to live in the garden.

Immediately, a few days were selected, and everyone moved in.

Baochai lives in Hengwu Courtyard, Daiyu lives in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Yingchun lives in Zhuijin Building, Tanchun lives in Qiuzhai Study, Xichun lives in Liaofengxuan, Li Wan lives in Daoxiang Village, Miaoyu lives in Changcui In the nunnery, Baoyu lived in Yihong courtyard.

Sister Feng has a family, so naturally she can't live in it.

Jia Ying didn't even have to think about it, it would be nice to be able to go in for a stroll every day.

In a blink of an eye, March passed, and it was April.

The internal and external stability of Daqian, after experiencing several times of military turmoil, the national strength gradually recovered, and there was a scene of peace in the world.

Only in the southeast area, there is some commotion from time to time.

It has been about a month since Jia Ying sent a letter to Yucun, and there has been no movement.

Jia Ying had no choice but to be patient and wait.

After a few more days, a letter finally came from the south.

Not only Jia Yucun's letter, but also Lin Ruhai's.

The last time she lent Yucun the opportunity to write a letter, Daiyu also wrote a letter to her father and sent it along.

Lin Ruhai replied two letters, one was for his daughter and the other was for Jia Ying.

After reading the letter between the two, Jia Ying couldn't help rubbing the center of her brows. The two who used to be called brothers had finally drifted farther and farther apart.

What the two of them said in their hearts was completely two extremes.

One is to praise how good the policy of changing rice to mulberry is, how smoothly it has been implemented, and what results it has achieved, and it is not to flatter the emperor and cabinet ministers.

In another letter, Jia Ying only saw resentment, powerlessness, and disgrace to Jia Yucun and the officials of the southern provinces.

In Lin Ruhai's letter, he mentioned the tragic situation of many people in the south, the root cause of which was the transformation of rice into mulberry.

The first is the rise in food prices.

Suhu is familiar with the world, this is not empty talk.

Right now, Liaodong is still in the stage of nomadic civilization, and the black soil has not been excavated by agricultural civilization.

The North China Plain area has vast land, lacks water in the north, and suffers from the flooding of the Yellow River.

In this era when farmers are completely dependent on the sky, it is difficult for the grain output to meet their own regions.

In history, all major famines and cold disasters occurred either in Henan or Shandong.

Zhili, Shanxi, and Shaanxi are not much better.

Once disasters occurred in various provinces, the first thing the imperial court thought of was to transfer grain from the Suhu area to the north.

It's ridiculous that farmers can't afford food now.

Now because of a change of rice into mulberry, the people in the Jiangnan area are miserable. Before they figured out what was going on, their land was gone.

Land is the lifeblood of the people who live on the small-scale peasant economy. When the land is gone, the hearts of the people will be lost.

Then, panic gradually began to spread.

In addition, since the beginning of spring, there have been several heavy rains in the Jiangnan area, and there is a faint potential for flooding. In several large grain-producing counties, many lands have been submerged, and the newly planted seedlings were washed away by the flood. .

Fortunately, it's not too late, and some can be replanted.

It's just that after such a toss, this year's grain output will not be very good.

Rich merchants and rich merchants began to stock up on grain, and suppressed it for sale. There are still a few months before the arrival of summer grain in Huainan, and the price of grain has already started to rise.

The Fujian area was even more chaotic. Young and strong people in many villages began to unite to fight against the government with hoes and plows. The whole family was imprisoned, ransacked and exiled.

It's just that many people who committed crimes fled their homeland one after another, and bandits were rampant on the sea here. Many villagers joined the bandits and went ashore to plunder, and even robbed the military rations of the Fujian Navy more than once.

Moreover, the government also forced every household of the common people to produce mulberry weaving cloth, which was purchased by the government and used to trade with the Thai and Western people.

It is conceivable how much money will actually be given to the people with the pissing nature of the big officials and the layers of exploitation.

Jia Ying always felt that there would be another chaos in the south, and I was afraid that it would be the responsibility of the people in Fujian.

In fact, the most important thing is not the lowly people, or the local government.

But the court.

The battle in the court is the key to determine the fate of the southern provinces.

Lin Ruhai went to the shuffle several times, and Feng Hengshi also fought for him this time as a response, but every time he was suppressed by the joint efforts of Li and Fu.

Jiade wanted to fill the national treasury with all his heart, and the emperor lived in the temple, and what he saw was only what the officials wanted him to see, so he didn't know the suffering of the people.

In famine years, the common people would not be able to eat enough to eat, and they could survive by gnawing on the bark and leaves of bitter herbs, but in the prosperous and peaceful world, they simply did not even have to eat.

In fact, this has little to do with the fact that the Emperor Shengming is still fatuous, and its essence is still a system problem.

So what about Qin Huang Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu?

In the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, isn't there still a famous saying "the wine and meat of the Zhumen stink, and the bones are frozen to death on the road".

Jia Ying can see clearly, but it's just that he can see clearly. He can't do anything, he can only quietly watch the changes in the world.

There are many smart people in this world, but he is not the only one who understands.

The key is the question of interests.

At this point, if Fu Donglai had no other intentions, Jia Ying would never believe it. Jiangnan has become a battleground for the new party and the Li party.

As for Li Endi, the arrow is on the string, and there is an abyss behind him, and there is no way back.

Whether it can land smoothly or not depends on the methods behind the Lord Chief Assistant.

These are not mentioned for now.

There was something in Jia Yucun's mind that caught Jia Ying's attention.

This is a land invasion case, and the defendant is not the Jia family in Jinling.

At the very beginning, some local people went to Yingtian Mansion to beat drums and complain, suing their local gentry and rich lords, who forcibly seized their family’s land on the grounds that they owed food and did not pay back. Fertile land.

This kind of thing happened from time to time in the countryside, and everyone was not used to it. Jia Yucun didn't even bother to show up, so the master sent him away.

Although Yucun didn't mention it in detail, Jia Ying can guess a general idea, it's nothing more than money opening the way and benefiting both sides.

It's just that the ones who benefited were Ying Tian Fu Yin and those few gentry and rich men.

I thought the matter would be over here, but who knows that the guy died for no reason not long after returning home.

Three of the family of four died, the old man and his wife, and a widowed daughter-in-law were all gone, leaving only a seven or eight-year-old daughter, who was bought by a local rich man.

But no one ever thought that there was another poor child in the widow's family, but the widow's natal family was from a province, and the distance between the two places was far away, so little was known about the widow's natal family.

The elder brother of the widow from another province happened to be in Nanjing, so he naturally wanted to visit his widowed sister.

What happened after that happened naturally, no matter how you say it is the master Juren, how can you give up easily, the matter will be brought to the court again.

A well-known juren went to Yingtian Mansion to appeal for grievances. Naturally, Jia Yucun could no longer hide behind the scenes. He thought he was just a down-and-out juren.

Such a person, with some advantages, is putting some pressure on him, and he is not afraid of what he can do.

Who would have thought that Yucun would really get a kick out of it? Not only did he not take hard and soft actions, but he also united a group of college students to make trouble in the yamen, and even the professor of Zhongshan Academy came forward to speak for him.

The teaching at Zhongshan Academy is not simple. During the Xuanlong Dynasty, he once served as the Minister of Rites in Nanjing, and he also belonged to the suppressed Qingliu school.

Yucun still has some understanding of the situation in the court, and now the old officials from all over the country are resuming one after another, especially those from the academies. Zhongshan Academy is one of the four major academies in the south of the Yangtze River along with Nanxuan Academy.

Among the "Nanxuan Party" that has risen faintly in the court, there are many from the four academies, including Feng Hengshi.

The teacher of Zhongshan Academy is also acquainted with Feng Hengshi.

Under such circumstances, Yucun naturally fell with the wind, and there were only a few gentry and rich men on the left and right. Even if he broke his promise, what would the other party do?
Unexpectedly, these wealthy gentry also moved out of their backstage, the Jiangnan Zhen family.

The land they "bought" by stealing and plundering was for the Zhen family.

The Zhen family found the Jia family again, so the two sides fought, and Yucun was caught in the middle, making it difficult for both ends.

If it was just the Zhen family, Yucun might really be tough in the end considering his own future, but once the Jia family came forward, things would change.

Not to mention that the Jia family is now in power, he can have the same family as the Jia family that he is going today, but at the moment his biggest backer is still Wang Ziteng, the four major families have always advanced and retreated together, especially in his hometown in Jinling.

Encountering this kind of case is the most troublesome thing, and it is not something that can be solved by a supporter.

In the end, Yucun still chose to support the Jia family, but he is also Yingtian Fu Yin, and some things should not be too obvious. On the surface, he still has to maintain a fairness, but occasionally he is biased when it is not conducive to the Jia family.

Later, when this matter developed, instead of the plaintiff and the defendant, it became a confrontation between the Jia family's in-law alliance and the academy alliance.

Then, the land invasion case gradually expanded.

It is impossible for the Zhen family to buy land just for the three acres of Susukida, and the two in-laws often join forces to fight for land, so the Jia family's purchase of land is naturally indispensable.

It turned out that it was just a family suing. Under the instigation of a group of academy students, more and more people who had been forced to buy and sell their land and took away their land began to join in. Those who sued were no longer the lackeys who acted as gentry and rich lords, but It is to face the Jia family and the Zhen family.

Things got worse and worse, and then the Inspectorate stepped in.

Based on the Jia family's relationship in Jinling, the Nanjing Procuratorate usually would not touch this eyebrow. The one who intervened in this matter was Feng Jicai, who was the imperial inspector and censor.

Yucun didn't mention the result.

But Jia Ying thought it would not be too good, otherwise Yucun would not have to mention this matter in detail in the letter.

However, with the style of the Xungui family, their own faults come first, as long as they want to make trouble, there will be too many excuses.

Feng Jicai was afraid that he would not miss this opportunity.

Moreover, his luck was a little bit too good, and he was able to encounter this matter not long after he arrived in Nanjing. It seemed that God was helping him.

Of course, Jia Ying couldn't let Feng Jicai go on rampant like this, and clung to Jia's family. If it really made a big fuss and hated the emperor, even Yuan Chun would be affected.

However, Jia Ying still had to seriously consider how to deal with it.

"Second Master, Second Master sent someone to invite you." Xi'er walked in and said.

Jia Ying put away the letter paper and went to Rongfu.

Meng Pozhai.

The uncle and nephew sat opposite each other.

"Second Master, did you receive a letter from Yucun?"

Jia Zheng looked heavy, nodded, and asked, "Ying'er also has connections with Yucun?"

Jia Ying nodded and didn't say anything in detail, just asked: "How does the second master think this matter should be dealt with?"

Jia Zheng frowned and remained silent for a long time without speaking.

He also seemed to feel the difficulty of this matter. If one fails, the entire Jia family will be affected.

Feng Jicai represents His Majesty.

Jia Yucun would write letters to him, but wouldn't Zhongshan Academy write letters to his old acquaintances in the court?

The feud between the Qingliu faction and the Li Party has been brought to the fore, but anyone related to the Li Party is their target.

Foreign relatives like the Jia family are no exception.

However, because Jia Zheng was not good at participating in these fights, Jia Ying deliberately avoided them, so he was not involved.

Now that this matter happens, I am afraid that there will be troubles.

"Ying'er, I heard that Heng Shigong has a lot of friendship with the four major academies in Jinling. Can you ask him to come forward and help you comprehensively?" Jia Zheng tried to ask.

Jia Zheng knew a little about Feng Hengshi's deeds. He was an upright man and a clean official.

The reason why Jia Zheng said this was that he was ready for the Jinling clan to make a concession, otherwise, he would not have dared to let Jia Ying speak to Feng Hengshi.

Jia Ying didn't immediately refuse, but asked: "It's okay to talk to the teacher, but the second master thinks, is it useful for the teacher to intervene?"

"The occupied land can be returned in full," Jia Zheng said.

Jia Ying shook her head and said, "The matter is no longer as simple as a fight between the academy and the Jia family."
