The Red Mansions

Chapter 713 Zhen Qing: Who cares about your favor!
In the afternoon, the shadow of the sun is shining, and the bamboo forest of the flower wall is rustling with the wind. Before you know it, half an hour has passed.

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing, who had a rosy face and slightly opened phoenix eyes. She had a disheveled hair bun, a strand of black hair hanging from her temples, and a cheek as charming as a poppy flower. She calmed down and asked: " How much did your Zhen family participate in the salt affairs?"

Zhen Qing's voice trembled a little, and said in a low voice, "It's the purse of the palace. It's a business between Guo and Liu. We just want to participate, but we have no way out."

In recent years, at most, they have transported some private salt to sell to subsidize the family, and the money transported to the warehouse cannot be used by the Zhen family.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment. According to his guess, the Zhen family should have created a lot of deficits in the weaving bureau, and they might not be deeply involved in the salt business.

Thinking of this, he didn't ask any more, frowned, his eyes were deep, and he said in a low voice: "It's summer, you don't wear underwear, just to keep cool, right?"

Zhen Qing glanced back at Jia Heng, then busy with a handkerchief, ignoring Jia Heng.

If she hadn't come to look for him, would she have done this?

Jia Heng said in a low voice: "Even if you don't help me with the matter of salt affairs, I can still find out. The Zhen family has been in charge of the three major weaving bureaus for many years. Corruption, how many losses have been made, let’s make up for it earlier.”

In fact, even if the Zhen family was squeezed dry, they would not be able to spend much money, because the Zhen family only squandered part of it, and the big ones still supported the Supreme Emperor.

This is also a chance for Zhen Qing to see if she can grasp it.

Zhen Qing's snow-like jade face showed anger, her phoenix eyes cast an annoyed look at Jia Heng, and said in a low voice, "You still want to investigate our Zhen family?"

This person went south to Yangzhou, not only for the salt affairs?
Jia Heng said softly: "Nowadays, the national treasury has been empty for many years, and the state affairs are struggling. Some old accounts have to be settled."

"You..." Zhen Qing stared deeply, and a layer of haze covered her heart.

I remember last time... So, is this person intimidating her and trying to get her information, or is that what the palace meant?
Just when Zhen Qing's complexion changed and she kept thinking, Jia Heng spoke softly, waved to Zhen Xue, and said in a low voice, "Xue'er, come here."

Zhen Xue was anxiously helping the two of them watch the wind, listening to the rubbing of their ears and the voice of the conversation, seeing Jia Heng waving, her heart was filled with embarrassment, she frowned, she didn't want to hear Jia Heng's greeting, but her footsteps were not affected. Moving over like a control, he said in a trembling voice: "Ziyu, it's getting late, stop messing around."

In fact, at this time, it was two o'clock in the afternoon in the later generations, and the two of them didn't even eat, and they always stayed in the same room, which made people suspicious.

Jia Heng stared at Zhen Xue, who was so shy and had a bright and beautiful lotus jade face, took Zhen Xue's hand, gently grasped it, and said in a low voice, "Isn't that treating one more than another?"

Zhen Xueyu's face was as red as Yanxia, ​​and she said in embarrassment: "Ziyu, it's my sister who insisted on looking for you, and I'm not in a good condition at the moment. You've been making a fuss for a while, and you've been here all the time. It's time to start suspicious."

Jia Heng didn't insist anymore. When they stayed together for so long and couldn't go out, the two sisters were radiant and charming, which really made people suspicious.

Now Zhen Qing stuffed the messy handkerchief to Jia Heng, her charming phoenix eyes glared coldly at Jia Heng, and asked, "Shuiyu, can you help me?"

Jia Heng frowned, with a look of disgust on his face, and said, "I have my own arrangements for Jiangbei Daying, so don't ask any more."

Zhen Qing's phoenix eyes were rippling, she pinched Jia Heng's hand angrily, and said, "You... this person, are you still being reasonable?"

Just now you kept tossing her, co-authoring was all for nothing?
Seeing that Zhen Qing seemed to be running wild, Jia Heng softened his tone, and said in a low voice: "Shui Yu, I can't tell you about the follow-up arrangements, but tell me some inside information about the salt affairs, if you find out later The Zhen family, the follow-up problem is not serious, I will make an exception."

There are so many involved in the distribution of stolen goods by Yanyun Sili and silver, and it is impossible to move to the Supreme Emperor's level in the end. Perhaps it was Cao Cao who burned Yuan's letters, and stopped when Liu and Guo were found, and confiscated all the money that had just been recovered. If there is a problem, if it is not too serious, it is okay to let it go for a while.

Zhen Qing stared at the boy with her phoenix eyes, her heart trembled slightly, she hummed softly, and asked, "You mean what you say?"

Jia Heng gently pulled Zhen Qing's plain hand, looked at the flamboyant and charming face, and said in a low voice: "Which time have I never kept my word? But it still depends on how deeply the Zhen family is involved. As far as I know, during the nine years from Longzhi to Chongping, the treasury of the Department of Salt Transport had an annual balance of 200 million taels of silver. Where did the money go? It was much less during the Chongping period. You will know what Tell me all."

In order to maintain the daily expenses of the Supreme Emperor, the salt, profit, tax and money were all sent to the palace, but how much of it actually went to the Supreme Emperor?Many of them have been deducted by these errands.

Zhen Qing was silent for a while, once she said some things, she would tear herself apart with those people, but this bastard just now talked about Zhen's family, threatened by their family, do you want to tell him?

Zhen Xue felt a little speechless when she saw the two people who let go of her bare hands and hugged each other again.

As Jia Heng said, looking at Zhen Xue, who had soft and delicate eyes, she also felt a little neglected, and said softly, "Xue'er, come here to persuade your sister."

Zhen Xuexiu frowned, looked at Zhen Qing with bright autumn eyes, and said softly: "Sister, what Ziyu said makes sense."

Zhen Qing glanced at Zhen Xue, and said in a low voice, "Your elbow is turning out again?"

Zhen Xueyu blushed slightly, pursed her pink lips, and said softly: "If my sister did this for the good of Dahan Sheji, Ziyu will not let my sister suffer."

Zhen Qing snorted coldly, as if she was still hesitating.

"Actually, if you don't tell me, I can guess some. Most of them should be sent to Chonghua Palace through the hands of Liu Shengzao and Guo Shaonian, and some of them were privately divided by them. Your father himself has a secret department to monitor it." Jiangnan's responsibility, so maybe they also dragged the Zhen family into the water?" Jia Heng said in a low voice: "As for the Zhen family, they have been greedy for the money of the internal affairs officials in the Mo Palace these years. You have cultivated party members for the King of Chu, haven't you?"

Zhen Qing lightly grabbed Jia Heng's hand, with embarrassment showing in Qi Yun's flowing brows and eyes, she denied it flatly: "It's nonsense to cultivate party members!"

As he talked, what she did was implicated.

"Let's not talk about your business first, let's talk about salt affairs, tell me everything you know." Jia Heng let Mo Pan sit in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "I accept your favor."

Zhen Qing's cheeks were flushed, and she said angrily, "Who cares about your favor!"

After pondering for a moment, he said: "I knew it but didn't tell you, it is the Guo family and the Liu family. These two families are people who were placed outside by the Supreme Emperor. Selling private salt to the north, bribing officials in Liangjiang, I heard that Liu Shengzao has a list in his hand, which records all the officials who were bribed by him, and it also involves the palace, so it is difficult to check."

Jia Heng paused for a moment, and said: "Nowadays, the country's affairs are difficult, and the emperor is not a person who doesn't understand the general situation."

Zhen Qing's heart skipped a beat, her thoughts were complicated.

Obviously, from this sentence, he realized the determination of the young man or the emperor behind him.

That's right, now this person and today's day are both sitting on the army, and it is only a matter of time before the salt affairs are rectified.

"If you want to investigate, start with Liu Shengzao from the Salt Storage Depot, catch this man, and under torture, everything will become clear." Zhen Qing whispered.

Jia Heng said: "I will, but there is still a reason missing."

Moreover, the soldiers and horses of the Henan Dusi are still on the way, and when they arrive, Qi Kun will ask Qi Kun to ask him to be arrested, and interrogating him will open the situation.

Zhen Qing said quietly: "Since I helped you, can you tell me how the palace sees the Zhen family?"

Jia Heng smiled and joked, "Why, are you starting to panic?"

It is impossible for the Zhen family to escape, the emperor and his courtiers, unless he intercedes with the emperor, but he will not save the Zhen family, not to mention the Zhen family, some of the Jia family's moths, he wants to send them in personally.

Zhen Qing raised her brows upside down, and said coldly: "Why am I panicking? What am I afraid of? We are also doing errands for the Supreme Emperor in the palace, what did we do wrong?"

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, leaned into Zhen Qing's ear, and said in a low voice: "Zhen Qing, your Zhen family has made a lot of losses by doing things for the Supreme Emperor these years, and you have done a lot of taboo things. Haven't you ever imagined that there will be a day when the trees will fall and the monkeys will scatter, and the building will collapse?"

Zhen Qingfang's heart trembled slightly, she pursed her pink lips, raised her slender neck, and said quietly: "As long as I become a princess, and one day become a queen, what you said will never appear."

After being teased by Jia Heng countless times, there is no need for Liren to hide her ambition, she just wants to be a queen!

Jia Heng said softly: "What if it doesn't work? At that time, the whole family will be ransacked. Your Zhen family, big and small, will not leave any chickens or dogs. Maybe I will take people there to search."

Zhen Qing said angrily, "You bastard!"

If there is a day, it is really possible that this bastard led people to copy the family order.

Thinking of this, Zhen Qing turned her beautiful and seductive face, suddenly looked at the handsome young man, and said in a low voice: "Zi Yu, help me, then your ambition will not only be realized, but even the world's supreme will be able to achieve it." The most precious queen, the mother of the world, the queen can lie in front of you and let you bully..."

She could feel that this young man's obsession with her body, even though he wished to have her every time...but it just showed his obsession with his own body.

He should be reluctant to let her die, otherwise he wouldn't have said those things to her just now, even if he didn't take her seriously, he still has his sister.

Listening to the two hugging each other and talking, Zhen Xue felt her face flushed and her heart jumping with fear. How could her sister be so rebellious and vulgar, and say such nondescript words?
Sister, what I said... has pictures.

Jia Heng's face was calm, his eyes were in a trance, and for some reason, the scene of Zhen Qing in a splendid dress, graceful and gorgeous, with people in front of her and behind her was reflected in her mind.

It's just that, for some reason, the Queen's face changed into another figure for some reason...

Well, I quickly dispelled the thoughts in my mind, and blamed Zhen Qing.

Zhen Qing seemed to feel the throbbing of the young man under the millstone, her heart was slightly happy, she leaned over and said in a low voice: "Zi Yu, help me, with your wisdom, we will control the government in the future, and we will surely rejuvenate the big man." ,OK?"

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing coldly, and said in a low voice, "Does the King of Chu know what the princess thinks?"

Really wait for such a day, even if he joins hands with the power-hungry Zhen Qing to kill the King of Chu, when the son of the King of Chu succeeds to the throne, the Jia family will be settled by Qiu Hou.

In the history, it is not uncommon.

When Zhen Qing heard the words, she felt that her head was splashed with cold water, her face was as pale as a sheet of paper, she pursed her lips for a moment and said nothing, obviously at this time when Jia Heng mentioned the King of Chu, Zhen Qing felt quite unnatural, or she felt a little guilty. ashamed.

This is also the reason why Jia Heng never mentioned the King of Chu, and it is easy to disappoint, but when Zhen Qing is calm and calm, there is nothing unusual, that is...

Jia Heng suppressed the weirdness in his heart, put his arms around Zhen Qing, and said in a low voice: "Okay, let's stop daydreaming, isn't that good? If you miss me, come and find me."

"Don't touch me." Zhen Qing's jade face was like frost, her heart was filled with irritability, and the young man who seemed to be smiling was reflected in her clear phoenix eyes. For some reason, she suddenly lost control of her emotions. She stretched out her plain hand to pinch Jia Heng's neck, and said in a low voice: "It's all your fault, you bastard, you ruined me."

If she hadn't put herself in it at the beginning, she wouldn't have lost her virginity, and she wouldn't have completely become a daydream now.

Looking at Zhen Qing, who suddenly burst into flames, Jia Heng looked calm, grabbed both arms lightly, and said in a low voice: "Aren't you responsible for everything today? Besides, I don't think you have any relationship with the King of Chu." Love, how long has it been since you...huh?"

Zhen Qing was so ashamed and angry that she was about to speak when she saw the young man approaching her, struggled a few times, and was submerged in the storm again.

After a while, Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing, who was furious and angry, and said in a low voice: "You don't think that after King Chu ascends the throne in the future, you will be able to control him, right? I think it's because of your temperament that you want to dominate men in everything. After all, it is also the end of the husband and wife turning against each other and being deposed."

"You, shut up!" Zhen Qingxiu frowned, feeling her heart beating wildly, her narrow and clear phoenix eyes showed a murderous intent, and her complexion was as frosty.

Because she was weak and couldn't break free from Jia Heng's bondage, she could only scold her in a low voice.

Jia Heng said softly: "Since the princess doesn't like to hear it, I won't say it, but you are a smart person, you should be clear that the King of Chu is just using your Zhen family to help you win the throne."

"You still say it!" Zhen Qing gritted her teeth, her heart trembling violently.

Zhen Xue condensed her moist and beautiful eyes, looked at the two of them, sighed softly, and said, "Sister, stop arguing, you two, and let people hear you carefully."

Zhen Qing's face was as frosty, her phoenix eyes twinkled, and she said in a low voice: "It was he who insisted on arguing, which time didn't he deliberately anger me?"

Jia Heng also let go of Zhen Qing, picked up the teacup from the small table beside her, handed it to Zhen Qing, and said softly, "Have a cup of tea, look at the sweat on your face."

He just tried to cut the bond between Zhen Qing and the King of Chu bit by bit, and when he could ask "Who is stronger between me and the King of Chu", Zhen Qing would only have the Queen's pursuit left in her heart.

Jia Heng turned to look at Zhen Xue who was at the side, and said in a gentle voice: "Recently some messy people have come to Yangzhou, Xue'er, you and Xinxin should be careful on the road."

Zhen Xue's eyes were complicated, she said "Yes", and said softly, "Ziyu, you should be more careful in Yangzhou."

After thinking for a while, he asked, "You...you won't go to Jinling with us?"

"It's not good to go together, you guys go there first, and I will go to Zhen's house to visit when I go back." Jia Heng smiled lightly and said.

Seeing this, Zhen Xue couldn't say anything, but thinking of the conversation between the boy and her sister just now, she couldn't help but feel a little hazy. Has the Zhen family attracted the attention of the present?
