Chapter 479 Wait until night to take action
Wang Xifeng stood up and walked slowly to the window. She looked at the moonlight outside and her tone softened. "Jianjun, you grew up in the Jia Mansion since you were a child. We are childhood sweethearts. Over the years, you have been silently protecting the Jia Mansion, and I am grateful in my heart. But the Jia Mansion is now in turmoil, with powerful enemies outside and constant troubles inside. Although I have tried my best, I often feel powerless."
Zhang Jianjun felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He replied respectfully, "Madam, you are too kind. It is my honor to be able to serve the Jia family."
Wang Xifeng turned around and looked directly at Zhang Jianjun: "Jianjun, I want to hand over some of the security affairs of the Jia Mansion to you, are you willing?"
Zhang Jianjun was stunned, then knelt on one knee and answered solemnly: "Madam, you have placed your trust in me. I will do my best to live up to your trust!"
Wang Xifeng nodded with satisfaction and helped Zhang Jianjun up personally: "Okay, from now on, you will be the chief security officer of the Jia Mansion. I hope you can put the Jia Mansion first and protect this family."
Zhang Jianjun was excited, as he knew very well that this was a sign of Wang Xifeng's trust and importance in him. He secretly vowed to protect the Jia Mansion with his loyalty and wisdom.
In the following days, Zhang Jianjun began to rectify the security system of Jia Mansion. He strengthened patrols, added secret sentries, and personally trained a group of loyal servants, which greatly improved the security of Jia Mansion. Wang Xifeng continued to be busy dealing with various affairs inside and outside Jia Mansion. The cooperation between the two gradually restored the tranquility and order of the past to Jia Mansion.
However, the peaceful days did not last long. One day, a secret letter from the capital broke the peace of the Jia family. The letter said that the Jia family had not settled the old debts, and the court ordered them to pay them back within a time limit, otherwise they would face the crisis of confiscation of their property. After reading the letter, Wang Xifeng's face turned pale. She knew that this crisis was serious. If it was not handled properly, the Jia family's century-old foundation would be destroyed.
Faced with such a dilemma, Wang Xifeng decided to go to the capital in person to seek a solution. Before leaving, she handed over all the affairs of the Jia Mansion to Zhang Jianjun and asked him to stay alert to prevent the Jia Mansion from being attacked during this period.
Zhang Jianjun accepted the order. He was well aware of the difficulty and importance of this journey. He secretly vowed to protect the Jia Mansion and wait for Wang Xifeng's return.
After Wang Xifeng left, Zhang Jianjun became even busier. He not only strengthened the security measures of the Jia Mansion, but also personally visited the Jia Mansion's properties in various places to ensure that every income could be used to repay debts. At the same time, he also actively sought allies who could help the Jia Mansion through the difficulties, hoping to relieve the pressure on the Jia Mansion with the help of external forces.
However, things did not go as Zhang Jianjun wished. As the crisis of Jia Mansion deepened, some forces that were originally friendly with Jia Mansion began to alienate themselves, and some even took advantage of the situation to try to gain benefits from the predicament of Jia Mansion. Faced with such a situation, Zhang Jianjun felt unprecedented pressure, but he did not back down, but became more determined to protect Jia Mansion.
Just when the Jia family was in dire straits, Wang Xifeng returned to the Jia family with a mysterious contract. It turned out that during her stay in the capital, she successfully reached an agreement with a high-ranking official with her wisdom and means, using part of the Jia family's property as collateral in exchange for the court's forgiveness of the Jia family's debts. At the same time, she also brought back an important piece of news that the court was about to launch a major project, and the Jia family had the opportunity to participate in it, which would be a great opportunity for the Jia family to revive.
Wang Xifeng's return was like a shot in the arm, rekindling hope for the whole Jia family. Zhang Jianjun was even more excited, as he knew that all this was inseparable from Wang Xifeng's efforts and sacrifices. Under the leadership of Wang Xifeng, the Jia family began to actively prepare for participating in the court project, and at the same time, they also began to restore relations with local forces to pave the way for the future of the Jia family.
Wang Xifeng invited Zhang Jianjun into the bedroom.
He said slowly: "This matter is of great importance. At present, the Jia family is no longer able to carry out this project!"
Zhang Jianjun nodded and said, "This river embankment repair project is worth a total of 550 taels of silver. If used properly, it will definitely make a lot of profit."
Wang Xifeng sighed and said, "That being said, it is still a little difficult!"
Zhang Jianjun looked at Wang Xifeng firmly, "I know it's difficult, but we have to try. As long as we work together, we will be able to overcome these difficulties." Wang Xifeng nodded slightly in agreement. "But funding is indeed a big problem. We need to find other ways to raise funds." Zhang Jianjun thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can consider borrowing from some wealthy businessmen or seeking cooperation." Wang Xifeng's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, "But doing so is also risky. If we encounter bad businessmen, it may bring more trouble to the Jia family." "I understand, but at this moment, we have no choice." Zhang Jianjun said firmly, "We must take this risk. In addition, we can also sell some of the treasures of the Jia family through auctions to obtain funds." Wang Xifeng pondered for a moment, "Okay, then do as you say. But this matter must be cautious and no mistakes can be made." The two began to discuss the specific action plan and decided to start with finding reliable wealthy businessmen.
Wang Xifeng stared at Zhang Jianjun with her beautiful eyes and said softly, "Do you know that there is a wealthy businessman named Ximen Qing in Yanggu County?" Zhang Jianjun nodded and replied, "Of course I know. Although he is a wealthy businessman, he is uneducated and extremely greedy and lustful!" Wang Xifeng showed a sly smile and said in a delicate voice, "That's great. We can use this to bring Ximen Qing down and then swallow up all his property!" Her eyes flashed with greed, as if she had seen countless gold and silver treasures in front of her.
Then Wang Xifeng said, "A few days ago, you saved Pan Jinlian. This woman is very beautiful and charming. She will surely attract Ximen Qing!" Zhang Jianjun nodded, "That's good. I'm sure she won't refuse!"
Hearing this, everyone was very surprised and curious. They began to discuss and guess what would happen next. Zhang Jianjun looked ahead with a serious face, as if he had already planned everything in his mind.
After a while, he turned to look at Wang Xifeng and said softly, "Let's do this, let's go back and prepare, and take action in the evening." After that, he turned and left the room.
