The Red Mansions

Chapter 199 Only in my mind!
Army of the Five Cities

Jia Heng entered it, sat in the yamen for a while, and then changed into casual clothes in the inner hall, then led Cai Quan and Xie Zaiyi from the back door, and sneaked out to Jinyi Mansion.

In Jinyi Mansion, it was mid-morning, and it was still quiet, only the chirping of birds could be heard from far and near in the woods. There is a sense of orderliness.

After Jia Heng showed his waist card, he entered it in a low-key manner. In the inner hall, he saw Qu Lang, two fellow acquaintances in Jinyi, Lu Jingyao, and Ji Yingtian, and several thousand households sitting around a table with a picture of Shenjing. The map of Bailibafang, pointing to what to talk about.

Because not all the members of the Sanhe gang buy properties in Dongcheng, these Jianghu gangs will not be ignorant of the truth of the cunning rabbit and the three caves. There is a house, although I don't go there often.

When Jia Heng entered the official hall, he was secretly satisfied when he saw that there were a lot of people in the office, and they were discussing matters.

This is how some professional intelligence agencies look like.

"My lord." Seeing Jia Heng coming in, the senior executives of Jinyi Mansion who were chatting around the table all stood up, bowed and lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the person coming.

Even Lu Jingyao and Ji Yingtian showed respectful expressions, it was clear that Dai Quan went to Jinyi Mansion last night to deliver the oral order of Emperor Chongping.

"Everyone has worked hard." Jia Heng nodded, glanced at all the acquaintances and thousands of households in Jinyi Mansion, and lingered on the respectful faces of Lu and Ji, and said: "My lords , this eye is bloodshot, did you not sleep well last night?"

Lu Jingyao forced a smile on his face, and said: "The emperor's mission is urgent, how can the lower officials sleep soundly?"

Ji Yingtian also echoed with a smile, "Yes, let's settle this matter quickly, so that everyone can feel at ease."

Qu Lang was at the side, and said loudly: "Lord Jia, the two lords and several thousand lords collected information last night and were busy till the ugly hour. They slept for a while and came here early in the morning."

When Jia Heng heard the words, Qingzhi's words were obviously not to smear the faces of Lu and Ji, but to the thousands of households in the Weifu, which was regarded as the intention of uniting colleagues.

Can't help thinking to himself, none of those who can mess around in Jinyi Mansion is really stunned.

Nodding to Qulang and the few Qianhus, he said: "You guys are worthy of being old Jinyis. They are loyal to the country, and they can still stand up to things at critical times."

When several Qianhus heard about Jia Heng who scolded them yesterday, they all expressed joy when they said it, and then looked at Qu Fuqianhu, the original idea of ​​"eating the inside out" in their hearts has also dissipated a little.

Many people thought in their hearts, before, the few hundred households in Weili were really outrageous. As the emperor's eagle dog, they were bribed and turned into gang lackeys, which is too degrading.

While Jia Heng was speaking, he also walked to the table and said in a deep voice, "Let me introduce the situation first."

Qu Lang opened his mouth and said: "My lord, the mansions of the Sanhe gang now are basically found out. They all have mansions in the east city. Maybe they are for discussion purposes. They are all around the mansion where Li Jinzhu lives in Anyifang, in Xilin Hutong. At the same time, there are Yongyefang and Xinghuafang on the west side of Zhuque Street. Li Jinzhu also owns three houses, but they don’t go there often. There are more than 30 rudder masters and deputy rudder masters, and the deacons and disciples are at the two ferry crossings in the east city, where dragons and snakes are mixed, the city walls are dilapidated, and the brothers in the mansion are still searching. "

At this time, a thousand households said: "My lord, Han Ziping, the fourth master, bought a house in Chongxianfang near the Guozijian, and his family lives there."

As he said that, Qu Lang handed a blue-sealed book to Jia Heng, and said, "My lord, it records some of the residence addresses of the heads, hall masters, and rudder masters of the Sanhe Gang, but there are still many incomplete ones. Investigating."

Jia Heng took the booklet, sneered, and said in a deep voice: "It's really been raging in the East City for more than ten years, and there are properties everywhere, even the houses in the school district."

"School district room?" Everyone looked confused for a moment, but they didn't delve into it.

Jia Heng flipped through the book, and there was a "scrubbing" sound. It has to be said that the Jinyi Mansion is worthy of the title of [-] detectives, and it is pervasive, although there are still many incompletes.

"Continue to investigate the matter and strictly control it. Once it is launched, it is necessary to wipe out all the leaders above the deputy helmsman. The deacons and disciples will destroy at least half of them! They must not be allowed to gather waterworkers to make trouble!" Jia Heng's eyes were gloomy, He said in a cold voice, pointed to the book in his hand, and said, "Why isn't there much news about Pan Jian, the second master?"

At this time, a thousand households looked solemn and explained: "My lord, this second head of the Pan family is in charge of the Yutang of the Sanhe Gang, and he also has a group of spies in his hands. Although he owns property, he usually stays at Li Jiuniang's place." Here, people are not slippery, and they are also very alert, so we don't want to get too close."

"Does he have no family?" Jia Heng frowned, his eyes darkened, and he tapped the table with his index finger, faintly feeling that this person might be unusual.

"Yes, but his family is not in Shenjing, but in Jinling." Another Qianhu with a darker complexion said, "Do you want to send a message with a pigeon so that the brothers in Jinling can watch?"

Jia Heng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Let's just watch it first. He holds a spy force in his hand. He should be the brains of the Sanhe Gang. This person is not easy to deal with. Is there any skilled old Jinyi in your mansion? with him."

If he hadn't been worried that the members of the Sanhe gang would coerce the work into chaos, he would have mobilized a long time ago. If such a head of the family were to escape, it would probably lead to disaster.

Qu Lang frowned, and said: "Sir, how about I personally lead someone to watch him?"

"Well, follow first, it's best... find a chance to kill him! I always think this person is a big trouble." Jia Heng said thoughtfully.

Qu Lang's eyes flickered, he nodded, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll keep an eye on him personally."

After Jia Heng finished giving his orders, he flipped through the books again, and said calmly: "It's best to ensure that all gang members above the co-rudder master are under control, if it can't be done, don't force it too much, try to be as stable as possible, don't startle them, I'll come over quietly in the evening, and we'll summarize it again."

"Yes, my lord." Hearing the words, all the brocade clothes clapped their hands and said.

"Gentlemen, after this time, I will ask for credit from the Holy Majesty. With Jinyi Mansion as the first credit, whether I can wash away the shame of raging in the East City depends entirely on your efforts."

It's not that he didn't think about whether these people would leak the news.

But there will be no such stupid people, because this time it fails, the court will only be more angry.

Secondly, Jin Yi Mansion didn't know when he would strike, they didn't get under their noses, and the group of Sanhe gang didn't have a brain twitch, they jumped over the wall before they were forced into a dead end?
I haven't sat down yet, you just flipped the table over?
I'm sorry, not to mention that the soup on the table can't be poured on me at all, and it may cause even greater suppression, and the officers and troops will be directly transferred to take over Dongcheng, and the leader of the army may be Jia Heng!
If the Sanhe Gang were all such idiots, it would be much easier.

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you, sir."

Jia Heng raised a few more words, then looked at Qu Lang beside him, and said, "Deputy Qu Qianhu, come out with me."

Qu Lang nodded, left the Secretary's Office, and came under the eaves of the corridor.

Jia Heng said: "This Pan Jian, you should be more careful when staring at him. If you are not sure, don't do anything. In addition, the spy force in the Sanhe Gang under his command also needs to be dug out."

Qu Lang nodded, and said: "My lord, Lao Zhao who went to Nanzhen Fusi is good at this. How about I let someone inform him later and ask him to lead someone to watch?"

"Zhao Yi?" Jia Heng frowned, nodded, and said, "You can go and ask him for help, and you can be regarded as brothers who were born and died together."

"Before, there was no shortage of Fusi in Beizhen, so I transferred Lao Zhao to Zheng Qianshi's servant in Fusi of Nanzhen." Qu Lang thought for a while and explained.

Hearing this, Jia Heng murmured: "However, after this incident, if you want to come to Beizhen Fusi, you can make a few shortcomings."

Not to mention anything else, if someone is promoted to Commander, the carrot hole below will be vacated.

Hearing this, Qu Lang's heart skipped a beat, he cupped his hands and said, "That humble job will resign."

Jia Heng watched Qu Lang leave, with a gloomy complexion, and thought, "No matter what, that Lieutenant Qiu has to be sniped. But Qu Lang's level is not enough, and he can't get a slot even if he wants to, and Jin Yi Mansion This organization, operating at full capacity, managed to get all the information about the leaders of the Sanhe gang almost overnight. Although this kind of intelligence capability is limited to a place like Shenjing, which has been painstakingly managed for many years, it is really terrifying. , there are no people of your own here, so it’s impossible.”

Let him set up an intelligence agency from beginning to end, even if he invests a few 10 taels of silver just stolen, it will definitely not work in five years.

Moreover, there is a fatal problem, you, a courtier, recruit people and run an intelligence agency, what exactly do you want to do?
Do you want to use investigative means to fight against the center?
Or is it feeding the dead and plotting wrongdoing?

It’s okay to do it on a small scale, but once it scales up, it becomes a crime even if it’s innocent.

"How can I get this espionage agency into my pocket? I can't ask for it myself, but let the emperor give it to me. Maybe I have to find a way..." Jia Heng stared into the distance, running rapidly, from Just now, during the operation of Jinyi Mansion, he was a little tempted by this institution.

"The key here is Donglu. If you constantly give the emperor psychological hints in the name of "stabbing the enemy's situation and assisting the army to plan", there will be a chance. Otherwise, in the name of the sword, it will be Lu, Ji, and Qiu The paths of the three of them, not my own role positioning, because no matter how well they do, they are still just Lu Bing, and it would be nice to have a good death, but most people will only end up with Ji Gang in the end." Jia Heng's eyes were deep, I thought about it.

In the current Chen Han, it can be said that whoever captures Donglu has captured the "power code" that has skyrocketed.

As long as he instilled the theory of intelligence warfare to Emperor Chongping when he wrote "Pingluce", it is very likely that Jinyi Mansion will be taken over.

And what to do with a sharp knife to ransack the house and destroy the family, and engage in the "Night Walk in Jinyi" routine.

Although it was prominent and majestic for a while, it was a vassal of the imperial power. To put it bluntly, it was a knife of the emperor, and a knife was a knife. It was difficult to gather a decisive political force.

Because there is no political opinion, there is no political appeal. A person who does dirty work can reach the level of Director Hoover. As for the director, he is also a library and archives manager.

"And what I want to do is...Cao Mengde, Yuan Xiangcheng, Zeng Wenzheng, have their own guns, pens, and money bags. At that time, the vast land ruled the ups and downs of China, and the artifacts of Chen and Han were used to support or usurp. between!"

And no one thought that in this place where the imperial power Yiwei is located, where the emperor's minions gather, there is such a "rebellious minister and thief" who "never established a belief in reverence for imperial power and has extremely inflated political ambitions" is arousing unlimited ambitions in his heart.

As for the ambition to benefit the world just after entering the officialdom, does it seem too ambitious?

Does the sparrow know the lofty ambition?

Just as Banze entered the bank just to be a banker, someone told Owada, and Owada said with a puzzled face, "Don't you? There are people who entered the bank not to be a banker?"

Could it be that it's for mixing up?

"My lord." At this moment, Cai Quan, who was at the side, called out to Jia Heng.

Jia Heng put away some thoughts, looked at Cai Quan and Xie Zaiyi who came with him, and said, "Let's go, go back to Wucheng Bingmasi, and then go to Dongcheng."

In order to deceive others, he couldn't go out directly from Jinyi Mansion right now, so he could only go back to the Wucheng Bingma Division, and then go to Dongcheng.

Shenjing Dongcheng, Jinmeilou
This three-storey pavilion is decorated with beautiful silk and silk, singing songs and swallows, and the sound of orchestral strings.

It was mid-noon, in a luxuriously decorated room with a woolen carpet underneath, agarwood mixed with ice cream and curling green smoke rose from the animal head smoker cage.

On the bed surrounded by pink curtains, Jia Lian, who had fought fiercely last night, just woke up, holding two women from Suzhou on one side, one on the left and one on the right, kissing her cheeks and showing off her tongue.

These two girls from the south of the Yangtze River had a delicate figure and a soft voice, which made him linger a little bit.

"My second master Lian, you just tossed and tossed about last night, and you just got up and tossed and tossed, why do you look like a cat who has been greedy for a few days." A woman with a beautiful face stretched out her snow-white lotus root arms and pushed Jia Lian away. With the hand that catches the monster, a crisp and gentle voice sounded, with a bit of resentment.

"Good sister, the day's plan is in the morning, let my brother love you." Jia Lian said with a smile, her handsome face was rosy and full of turbulence.

Feng'er of his family would not allow her to change her posture at ordinary times, how could these two know the cold and the hot, and let her be at her mercy.

But at this moment, there was only a "bang", the door suddenly opened, and a few people came in darkly, and said with a smile: "Second Master Lian, are you playing?"

Gao Jin, the deputy head of the Thunder Hall of the Sanhe Gang, and his two brothers, entered the wing room with a smile on his face, glanced at Jia Lian, who was already frightened, and pulled up a chair with a "hulala", and sat down On the teacher's chair.

"You... who are you? Get out!" Jia Lian's complexion changed drastically, and he said in fear, "Xing'er, Long'er, come here quickly, will..."

"Second Master Lian, don't bark." Vice-Hall Master Gao looked at Jia Lian, his eyes couldn't leave his handsome face, and his heart felt hot.

Secretly thought, the son of this mother's mansion is just different, looking at the thin skin and tender meat, this small appearance... What a mother's water spirit!
When Jia Lian was stared at by this "hot" gaze, his heart skipped a beat. An unexplained chill seeped from his back and hit his spine and coccygeal bone. He was too familiar with this special mother's gaze.

Sometimes when he gets angry, he also looks at the young servant in the same way, and the handsome young servant just gets angry.

For example, there is a record in No. 20 of A Dream of Red Mansions, "That Jia Lian wanted to find trouble only after leaving Sister Feng. After sleeping alone for two nights, it was very difficult, so he temporarily selected the handsome ones among the servants to get angry."

Just as Jia Lian was about to get out of bed, he saw two men clasping their hands behind the big bald man opposite, one on the left and the other on the right, holding their shoulders, blocking his way home with a ferocious expression.

Vice Hall Master Gao waved his hands in disgust at the two naked girls on the bed, as if to repel flies. Suddenly, the two girls, with frightened faces, lifted the hibiscus embroidered quilt and ran out of the wing with their skirts in their arms.

"You...what are you going to do?" Jia Lian was terrified, picked up the quilt and hugged her into a ball, huddled in a corner, her handsome face was pale, and her eyes were full of panic.

"My good brother," Gao Jin, the deputy head of the Lei Hall of the Sanhe Gang, smiled, his eyes lingering on Jia Lian's chest and snow-white buttocks, and his big palm-leaf fan with short fingers rubbed his bald head, laughing He said, "What do you think I'm going to do? Of course it's... fuck you!"

This second master Lian is really so juicy, with peach blossom eyes, and a face with delicate skin and tender flesh, I really want to wear a big beard.

Thinking like this, he just sat up from the grand teacher's chair and rubbed his big hands rubbing the cattail fan, as if a hungry tiger was ready to pounce on food at any time.

Hearing this, Jia Lian's face turned pale, and he detoured, "I'm from the Rongguo Mansion, if you dare to touch me, the mansion will never let you go!"

"Yo, Second Master Lian is threatening me?" Vice Hall Master Gao sneered and said, "It's just that you think I'm afraid?"

Seeing the bald man on the opposite side stop, Jia Lian became more courageous and threatened: "My father is the first-class general of the imperial court, and the patriarch of my Jia clan is now the third-class general. He is in charge of the army and horses of the five cities. How dare you touch me?" A single hair will surely tear you to pieces!"

Vice-Hall Master Gao suddenly walked to the window and said with a sneer, "I'm going to touch your hair right now!"

Heita's figure pressed over, Jia Lian was furious, picked up the pillow, and threw it at Vice Hall Master Gao.

Vice Hall Master Gao chuckled, with a flash of interest, and said, "Small, it's quite intense!"

Jia Lian's face was pale, and he said in horror: "Don't come here, my brother is Jia Heng, the Jia Heng who shocked the capital and wiped out the bandits in Cuihua Mountain. If you want money, I will give you money. My family has enough money... ..."

Deputy Hall Master Gao stepped forward and was about to pull the quilt away, but Jia Lian was holding a corner and refused to let go.

"Hey!"

But after all, he was a playboy who had no power to restrain himself, and was immediately grabbed by the quilt by Vice Hall Master Gao and thrown aside.

Vice-Hall Master Gao looked at Jia Lian, who was blind, and his eyes under the broken eyebrows became even hotter.

If the leaders of the gang hadn't confessed that Jia Lian couldn't be touched for the time being, he would have wanted to do this little goblin!
But Jia Lian screamed, "Help, help!"

As he said that, he used his hands and feet together to crawl under the bed beside him.

However, Vice Hall Master Gao grabbed his arm and pulled him over.

"If you dare to shout again, I'll castrate you!" Vice-Hall Master Gao said viciously, with a groan, a dagger appeared in his palm, the sharpness was like water, and the blade was sharp.

As if Jia Lian had been killed by lightning, he quickly shrank in the corner, looking at the big man opposite him in horror.

Vice Hall Master Gao sneered and said, "Come here! Cut off a lock of your hair!"

Jia Lian was trembling all over, and said: "Hero, if you have something to say, please speak up. If you want money, I have it in my bag. If you don't, you can go to the mansion to get it!"

Vice-Hall Master Gao snorted coldly, but got on the bed, couldn't help but press Jia Lian's shoulders, grabbed a lock of hair, and cut off the hair amidst Jia Lian's heart-piercing screams.

"Bring over the sachet of Second Master Lian, and tie this hair into the sachet." Assistant Hall Master Gao said to the subordinates behind him.

"Yes." A man went up to pick it up, and then searched for Jia Lian's sachet.

"Second Master Lian, let me see this small body?" Vice-Hall Master Gao put away his dagger, giggled, and began to take advantage of Jia Lian with his big hands.

And a big man standing aside said hesitantly: "Master, the master said..."

Vice Hall Master Gao sneered, and said: "You don't need to make noise, I have a sense of proportion, if you touch him, he won't lose a piece of meat, the real one doesn't give us face, I have his own benefits!"

Having said that, he still restrained himself a bit.

In case there is a peace with the gang leader, he is too presumptuous, and it will be difficult to explain in the end.

At this moment, Jia Lian was touched by Vice Hall Master Gao's rough cattail leaf fan on his face, and felt humiliation welling up in his heart, but listening to the conversation between the two, his heart relaxed again, at least his innocence was preserved.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help suppressing the fear in my heart for a while, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother, who are you talking about?"

Vice Hall Master Gao sneered and said: "I might as well tell you, the guy in your East Mansion won't give our brothers a way out, so we'll just look at him now, tomorrow, if you don't know the current affairs, you..."

As he spoke, he patted Jia Lian's buttocks with his big hand,
When Jia Lian heard this, his complexion changed drastically, and his heart was filled with turmoil. He was almost shocked and angry.

Okay, it's you... Master Heng from Dongfu!
You are a good official of yours, and I don't invite you to provoke you on weekdays. How could it involve me?
Damn, she's at home... whoring in a brothel, disaster comes from heaven!
