Chapter 21

Along the way, Jia She and Dai Quan walked and talked, and Jia She finally understood why Ma Zhifang was smashed when he came.

This matter is not a secret, and it is estimated that it will be spread in a short time.

It turned out that a fire broke out in the royal mansion of Zhongli County, and a group of servants were burned to death. The guards in the mansion caught an assassin while fighting the fire.

Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be a spy of the Embroidery Guard, and now he has made a big mistake. Although the Embroidery Guard has the right to supervise all officials, they are all in the open.

Now that he was caught spying on the palace, those censors didn't like this kind of royal eagle and dog at first, but now it's more like chicken blood.

Of course the emperor was angry, but Jia She was quite happy to see Dai Quan. Isn't he the emperor's confidant?How could he be happy? Jia Amnesty thought he was wrong.

When Jia She returned to the palace, he was still thinking about the affairs of the Zhongli County Prince's Palace. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong, but these things should be internal affairs of the royal family.

Jia Amnesty shook his head, and decided not to get involved, so as not to get burned.

But it didn't take long for him to understand why Dai Quan was happy. The emperor may have felt that the Xiuyi Guards were too incompetent, so he actually established another Imperial City Division.

And Dai Quan was the first commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Division. The Imperial City Division was all staffed by eunuchs, which was a bit like the two factories in the Ming Dynasty.

The first thing Dai Quan did when he took office was to investigate the case of setting fire to the royal mansion in Zhongli County by fake embroidered clothes guards.

That's right, Xiuyiwei refused to admit that the captured assassin belonged to Xiuyiwei. In the following period, there was a mess in the court over the matter of Huangcheng Secretary and Zhongli County King.

The matter of Jia Amnesty was delayed, but Jia Amnesty was quite fortunate, it was good that he had no errands at this time, and he did not see that several ministers above the third rank had been demoted in the imperial court for these matters during this period.

Jia Amnesty still has self-knowledge, with his little city, involved in these matters, he can only be used as cannon fodder.

The errand job has not been settled for the time being, but the marriage is a little bit of a prospect.

For the sake of Jia Lian, Mrs. Zhang also tried her best to help Jia She find a suitable marriage.

The woman is Hou Sulan, the niece of the Marquis of Heng An. Originally, the title of Marquis of Heng An belonged to her father.

But when her father was guarding the border, the Tatars came to attack the city. It happened to be snowy and the roads were slippery. The reinforcements failed to arrive in time. Her father and her two brothers fought against the Tatars, and eventually they were martyred.

When her mother heard the news, she couldn't accept it and hanged herself.

All of a sudden, he was the only one left in the family. The emperor at that time, the Supreme Emperor, was grateful for her loyalty and made an exception to reward her as the head of Yong'an County.

But this girl was really unlucky. She grew up in the border area and loved riding horses, but she didn't want a horse to stumble, fall off the horse, and be stepped on the stomach by the horse.

Although my life was saved, I lost my ability to have children. Because of this, I am now 20 years old and have not yet gotten married.

Her second uncle, who had inherited her father's title, was not ungrateful, and loved her badly. In addition, her second aunt gave birth to two sons, and she didn't have a daughter, so she was treated as her own daughter.

Besides, she was the head of the county who was personally granted the title by the emperor. Although she was infertile, there were still many people who wanted to marry her because of her dowry and the people who attached to the palace.

But of course the Heng'an Marquis Mansion didn't like these people, and dismissed them all. After Mrs. Zhang found out, she felt that this girl and Jia She were quite suitable.

But looking at the appearance of the Heng'an Marquis Mansion, he felt that people might not be able to take a fancy to Jia She, after all, Jia She had a bad reputation in the past.

Mrs. Zhang sent someone to send a message to Jia Amnesty to see what he thinks about this matter.

Jia Amnesty thought it was very good, and asked Mrs. Zhang to help make peace, but please don't hide her situation, and make it clear that she will go to the border after marriage.

For the sake of Jia Lian, Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to shamelessly visit the Heng'an Marquis.

Although the Zhang family has no official status now, no one in the upper class in the capital knows that the emperor attaches great importance to the Zhang family.

Although I don't know why Mrs. Zhang came here, Mrs. Heng'an Hou received her anyway.

Mrs. Zhang came to the door, mentioned the matter of Jia Amnesty in a roundabout way, and explained everything according to Jia Amnesty's words.

Mrs. Heng'an Hou was very upset when she heard this. Jia She's reputation is well known in the whole capital.

Moreover, Mother Jia loves her youngest son. Although the Rongguo Mansion said that the family was separated, the second room still hadn't been completely moved out. Why did her niece jump into that fire pit?

When Marquis Heng'an came back, she complained harshly in front of Marquis Heng'an.

But Marquis Heng An was a little tempted when he heard it. The news about Jia Amnesty's rescue had already spread, and Marquis Heng An was working in the Ministry of War, so the news was fairly well-informed.

Knowing that the emperor seemed to intend to let Jia She go to Liaodong as a deputy general.

The current commander-in-chief of Liaodong is Li Guogong, who has been fighting all year round, and Li Guogong is not in good health. I heard from Liu Fang that Jia Amnesty came to the border on purpose.

Duke Li was overjoyed, he and Jia Daishan were life-and-death friends, Jia Amnesty was willing to make progress, so of course he was also willing to be promoted.

Moreover, Liu Fang can play with the former Jia She, and she knows that she is not motivated.

Duke Li was still worried at first, but he didn't expect that this time he would help Jia Amnesty to rescue him, even though the emperor didn't reward him heavily.

However, Li Guogong understood that at least this was a mark in the emperor's heart. After his death, Liu Fang would not be like Jia Amnesty back then, and would not be demoted several times.

Marquis Heng An felt that Jia She would definitely be successful in the future, and if his niece married her, he would have a good family of his own.

As for Jia She's reputation, men see things differently from women. Marquis Heng An felt that although Jia She had a bad reputation before, it was just young and frivolous, and he will mature when he becomes an official.

But he also really loved his niece, so he called Hou Sulan over and asked her opinion.

Hou Sulan heard Heng An Hou talk about Jia Amnesty, and also truthfully introduced Jia Amnesty's situation, Hou Sulan was silent.

Seeing her like this, Madam Hou Heng'an thought she was unwilling, and quickly comforted her, "Lan'er, if you don't want to, forget it, we will find someone else."

Hou Sulan shook her head, "Auntie, it's not that I don't want to, can you let me meet that Honorable Hou, I have some questions I want to ask him face to face."

Although it was a bit impolite, but since his niece mentioned it, Marquis Heng An agreed, and he invited Jia She to come to his house for a drink in his own name.

Of course Jia Amnesty went, and in the garden of the Hou Mansion, Jia Amnesty saw the Yong'an county lord.

Hou Sulan's appearance is actually not very suitable for the current people's aesthetics. First of all, today's women are considered to be weak and petite.

And Hou Sulan is quite tall, Jia She estimated that she should be 1.7 meters, but Hou Sulan estimated that she was 1.7 meters.

But Jia She liked her very much, and Hou Sulan had good facial features and looked a bit like the later Brigitte Lin. She was really a beauty.

"Ronghou, I heard from my uncle that you want to go to the border to find a job. I don't know if it's true."

Hou Sulan looked at Jia She, and asked questions directly.

 I have only updated one chapter in the past two days. I am really sorry. My child has a fever. I have no time at all during the day and night for the past two days. All I send are saved manuscripts. I will resume when the child recovers.
