Heaven's Martial Fate

Jia Zhu and his men, Kuai and Minzhuang, are gone forever.

For three days, no news came back.

This made Li Wan very anxious, while looking for someone to inquire about the news, at the same time, he passed the news to Lian Er.

At this time, Lian Er was also in trouble.

Tongzhou is the gateway to the capital and also the northern end of the water transport.

Generally, the grain grains transported from the south to the capital basically have to go ashore through Tongzhou, and then transfer to the capital.

It is also because of this that Tongzhou, as a transshipment center for north-south goods, can be imagined to be prosperous.

As the starting point of water transport in the north, through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, goods from the north can be easily transported to the south, which is the out-and-out economic artery of the Dagan Dynasty.

Such a wealth distribution center is not far from the capital, so it was naturally divided up by the nobles early on.

Whether it is fields, warehouses, or the most important docks, etc., any kind of interest is amazing, and it was finally determined after a bloody struggle.

Even so, every year or every once in a while, there are emerging dignitaries who join in the fight for interests in Tongzhou. It can be said that this is the place where the wind and the clouds gather.

The intensity of the battle may not be comparable to that in the capital, but it is still extremely tragic.

Every year, hundreds of people quietly disappear here in Tongzhou, and there are many more unidentified and unclaimed bodies.

As the magistrate of Yongzhou, he naturally has a fixed income.

Among the most important port cargo shares, there is also a very small one, which belongs to Tongzhou Zhizhou, and it is not a problem to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a year.

Lian Er has been working in the household department for several years, but he knows the strengths in it, and he is quite satisfied with the benefits he can get as a knower of the state.

It's a pity that there is a bold and greedy person beside him, which hinders him.

That's right, it's Wang Xifeng!

After following Lian Er to Tongzhou, Wang Xifeng monopolized the power of the state government's backyard, which is really very beautiful.

There are no two layers of mother-in-law pressing down on the head, and there is no need to serve at meal times. As long as Lian Er's daily life is taken care of, he can do whatever he wants at ordinary times.

Happy here, don't think of Shu.

It's normal, because I personally don't like the life of a daughter-in-law in Rongfu, let alone someone with a strong personality like Wang Xifeng.

It was normal to be restricted by Madam Wang and the old lady when she wanted to grasp the power in the backyard of the Rong Mansion.

Right now, she is the mistress of the houyamen in the state capital, and she is the one and only master.

After a short period of familiarization and adaptation, she quickly got used to the life of the head of the house and her grandmother, and she was very majestic.

Wang Xifeng enjoyed this kind of life very much, and when she realized the beauty of it, she was even more happy to see her brows.

As the starting point of water transportation in the north, Tongzhou has prosperous commerce and economic development.

There are a large number of businessmen in the state city, and for the sake of profit, it is naturally the most important thing to curry favor with the master of the state capital.

Then, they tried a little bit, and soon caught up with Wang Xifeng.

Otherwise, Wang Xifeng was so bold and reckless, she dared to accept any kind of money, and would not refuse any printed money gifts that came to her door.

The most exaggerated thing is that she wanted to intervene in the affairs of the state government office by sending word through the maids and servants around her.

Lian Er quickly noticed the clue, but he didn't explode into a thunderous anger, but just had a good talk with Wang Xifeng.

The content of the conversation was very simple. He directly asked Wang Xifeng if he wanted him to lose his crown and dismiss him, or even go directly to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to enjoy free board and lodging services?
He has just established a foothold in Tongzhou, and he doesn't know how many forces are secretly watching?

Not to mention how careful one must be, but at least the rules must not break monsters.

There are some things that he, the magistrate, can intervene in private, but there are some things that cannot be meddled indiscriminately.

Wang Xifeng asked why?

Lian Er answered quite bluntly, the forces behind some merchants, even the Rong Mansion could not afford to offend them.

They have such great power, and they even offered to send money to ask for help. One can imagine how much it would cost him, the governor of the state?

Wang Xifeng was a little confused, and felt that Lian Er's words were very disheartening.

Is there something that cannot be settled by the four major families in Jinling?

Lian Er smiled wryly, it turned out that Feng Lazi's confidence was here.

If it wasn't for Feng Lazi's physical improvement after a period of recuperation, and even some signs of pregnancy, Lian Er wouldn't be so polite.

He only felt that Feng Lazi was extremely naive, so he asked angrily, if something happened to him in office, he would offend a powerful force that Rongfu could hardly resist.

At the critical moment of life and death, will Rong Mansion go all out to protect people?
You know, at this time Rong Mansion is headed by the Second Master Zheng, and the head wife is Mrs. Wang, and because of various reasons, the elder pardoned by his own father can only live in the East Courtyard and not act rashly.

Under such circumstances, if the Dafang's Xijue had an accident, would the Erfang go all out to help?

I'm afraid it will be difficult!

Even Wang Xifeng, who had a fluctuating expression, didn't need to speak, Lian Er said bluntly that if he was finished and Feng Lazi was not pregnant during this period, the title of Rong Mansion would naturally fall to the second wife's son-in-law.

At that time, even if Wang Xifeng was not implicated, life would probably be worse than death.

With those words, Feng Lazi, who had always been bold and reckless, changed his color.

As for the four major families, the power of the Wang family at this time is almost about to be pushed out of the capital.The situation of the historians is not much better, the two Marquis just have a false name, and the real power at hand is pitifully small.

As for the Xue family, it's just a money bag, what can it do?

The only one that could really make a big effort is the Ning Mansion.

Based on his understanding of Brother Rong, the most he can do is to save Lian Er's life, and he can't think about anything more.

Therefore, there are some things that Feng Lazi really can't meddle indiscriminately.

Even if there were no other accidents, the impeachment of Yushitai alone would be enough for him to drink a pot, which would seriously affect his future career.

Wang Xifeng was honest, at least on the surface.

Lian Er explained the ways of the officialdom and the situation so clearly, if she didn't react at all, it is estimated that Lian Er would take quite extreme measures.

The mistress of the state government house is well behaved, so she naturally has no reason to make herself feel guilty, let alone that she may be pregnant in her stomach, and she has to accumulate blessings for her future children.

It's a pity that one wave has not settled down, and another wave has arisen. The ambitious Wang Xifeng has just been appeased here, and someone dares to covet the invisible welfare of the Zhizhou, the share on the Tongzhou Canal Wharf.

Xing'er, the long follower in charge of the wharf business, ran to the state government this day with a bruised nose and swollen face, and reported a very bad news to Lian Er.

Li Fu on the dock refused to deliver goods for the dock warehouse belonging to Lian Er.

He immediately found the leader of Lifu, but was beaten...
