The Red Mansions

Chapter 734 Zhen Qing: What do you need to say?
Yangzhou, Salt Court Yamen

I don’t know when, heavy mist and rain locked the courtyard, and the sycamore trees in the courtyard were rustling. Above the gatehouse with green eaves and green eaves, light rain fell on the mottled eaves tiles, soaked in blue and black moss, and merged into a trickle. With the rhythm of "crackling", it fell on the blue bricks under the eaves of the corridor, moistening the steps paved with stones, and it was all wet.

Outside the study room, Chen Ling was dressed in brocade clothes and flying fish suit, her brows were slightly frowned, her slender and white joints were standing under the eaves of the porch holding an embroidered spring knife, because she had practiced martial arts since she was a child, her hearing was keen, although the wind and rain covered her up, she could vaguely see her. He heard the slightest noise in the study room.

In the study room, there is an embroidered couch covered with curtains, and the necklaces tied with gold hooks on both sides jump up and down, and when they are drawn, they are scattered.

Jia Heng gently supported Zhen Qing's waist. Huaxin, a young woman in her 20s, had a plump body after having given birth to a child, and said in a low voice, "Qing'er."

Zhen Qing snorted, this time she didn't have any energy to correct Jia Heng's address, Mingyu's bright and clean forehead, and the sweat dripping from her temples, her face was as seductive as a poppy stamen, with a rosy red aura. The halo is densely distributed along the neck and cheeks.

Jia Heng said: "How long are you going to stay in Jinling this time? When will you return to Beijing?"

Zhen Qing's beautiful eyes drooped slightly, she looked down at the boy condescendingly, and said in a trembling voice, "You ask...why do you ask this? Stay for two months, come back after all."

Jia Heng took the beauty's slender hand, and under Zhen Qing's surprised eyes, interlocked her fingers and explained: "Be careful not to fall."

Zhen Qing's charming and charming cheeks were already as red as Danxia, ​​her phoenix eyes looked at Jia Heng angrily, and said angrily: "You know a lot."

It's really one set after another, and I don't know which vixen I have tried it with.

Jia Heng frowned, and said in a low voice: "Fourth Uncle Ni, since he thinks he has the ability, let him and Shen Fang toss around first, I'm not in a hurry."

"You don't see them at night?" Zhen Qingxiu frowned, raised her neck slightly, and the golden hairpin on the top of the cloud swayed, and the tassels hanging down gently drew circles, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "In this case, The old lady and the father...it's time to worry."

Jia Heng said: "I don't see the two of them anymore, we will go to your house when we arrive in Jinling."

Zhen Qing thought for a while, her jade face turned red, she bit her cherry lips with her white teeth, and said: "Well, Fourth Uncle did not do it right this time, I think he will have another twists and turns in the future."

Jia Heng said coldly: "Having such a curse is the cause of prodigal family."

Zhen Qing sighed, and said in a low voice: "He is also my fourth uncle, although he is a bit reckless and confused."

As he spoke, his narrow and clear phoenix eyes seemed to be narrowed, and he said softly: "Didn't the Jia family have a Jia Amnesty at the beginning, but later they were exiled to Guizhou because they were involved in the grassland smuggling case?"

She vaguely felt that it might be the person in front of her who used some means to eliminate the internal hidden dangers, but the smuggling case was clearly reported and impeached by King Zhongshun.

Jia Heng said: "It's unreasonable to be exiled to Guizhou, but to smuggle the grassland as a martial artist."

Zhen Qingxiu frowned, pursed her lips, and said, "By the way, what happened to Princess Xianning?"

Jia Heng asked: "What's going on?"

"There is a wind in Beijing saying that the father wants to promise Xianning to you. As a sister-in-law, I want to ask you, the person involved." Zhen Qing smiled lightly and said: "You two went to Henan Pingding together. Luan, I thought it was not easy at the beginning, but later I heard about you... When you marry Xianning, we may be a family."

"Who did you listen to?" Jia Heng frowned, and said softly: "So, I still want to call you sister-in-law."

Zhen Qingyu's cheeks were blushing, and she said sarcastically: "You should have called me. Speaking of which, the emperor's love for you is unfailing. You have a wife, and you still make such a mess."

Thinking of this, I even feel a little jealous in my heart. The father's favor and trust in this person is almost much stronger than that of his own son.

Jia Heng pondered, "It's not that you don't know the reason."

Zhen Qing was silent for a moment, her father was trying to win over him.

After a long time, Zhen Qing's jade face was reddish, her unopened beautiful eyes were charming and flowing, she hugged Jia Heng's neck tightly, her cheek was pressed against her throbbing chest, she didn't know what it was like in her heart, Tankou Opened slightly, murmured: "Zi Yu."

Jia Heng also hugged Zhen Qing tightly, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

He was trying to conquer this poisonous woman, but why didn't this poisonous woman want him to be devoted to her?So he kept pulling Zhen Xue.

Zhen Qing opened her moist and slightly beautiful eyes, her gorgeous face was in a daze for a moment, she pursed her pink lips, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing."

As my sister said, this bastard has too many ways to manipulate people. She thinks that maybe she will never be able to live without this bastard in this life, but she must not tell him, otherwise he will be complacent, and then take advantage of her.

Jia Heng said in a low voice, "I don't know why."

In fact, I can guess a little bit, Zhen Qing is more relaxed, the feeling of the unity of spirit and desire is an indescribable impact on the beauty, and she wants to make him forever her servant.

As for him, he was secretly waiting for Zhen Qing to fall into it, and then pull away immediately. It is absolutely impossible for a woman like Zhen Qing to treat her blindly. He must completely suppress her, and then wait for her to lose her temper.

Jia Heng suppressed some plans in his heart, and suddenly asked: "How is Xue'er?"

Zhen Qing smiled lightly, seeming to find it rather amused, and said in a low voice: "My sister is still not like that, sometimes like this, sometimes like that, you still have to find her."

But this person just likes his younger sister who is eager to refuse and welcome, will she next time...

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said softly: "She shouldn't have been involved in these matters. It was your ambition that harmed her, so I feel pity for her."

Zhen Qing couldn't help but sneered, and said angrily: "What about me? Are you cruel to me in every possible way? No mercy?"

This is also the reason why Zhen Xue felt that her older sister was a plaything. She didn't talk about the past, she just talked about her talent. Although Jia Heng didn't think it was too much, compared with her own sister, Zhen Qing felt that Jia Heng shouldn't be too much.

Jia Heng turned his eyes, stretched out his hand to gently caress Zhen Qing's sweaty snow-skinned face, wiped the sweat lightly, and said, "Are you jealous?"

"Who will be jealous of you?" Zhen Qing's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, she became angry from embarrassment, and said coquettishly.

Again, two people are like a couple. After all, she and him are nothing more than...

Jia Heng said softly: "If you don't have so many rebellious thoughts, I will treat you better."

Zhen Qing's delicate body trembled slightly, and said quietly: "I just think about it a little bit, otherwise my life would be meaningless."

Jia Heng said: "Why is it boring? You are a princess, enjoying endless glory and wealth, besides, isn't it interesting now?"

"Wait for the king...he will be a vassal. I can only stay in the fief and not go out." Zhen Qing's phoenix eyes flickered, and she laughed at herself and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy for you to see me at that time, and as time goes by, you have already forgotten me." Later."

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, thinking on his face, and said softly: "It seems to be the same, if I miss you, I can't go to the King of Chu to drink and get him drunk..."

When Zhen Qing heard the words, she felt a sense of shame welling up in her body and mind, she snorted, and pinched Jia Heng fiercely, the bastard was messing around again, and there were pictures of him talking.

However, the young woman Huaxin didn't know what to do. Maybe it was because Jia Heng talked too much and gradually became desensitized, but the bottom of her heart was not so hard to accept, but instead gave birth to a strange feeling.

Well, no, how could she be like this?
It's all because of this bastard. When he first hugged her, he kept asking whether it was the prince or him... How did this bastard have the face to ask?

Seeing the strangeness in Jia Heng's eyes, he said in a low voice, "You seem to be looking forward to it."

When the skin is on a blind date, any slight change can be magnified, this Zhen Qing is really getting more and more interesting.

"Get out! You bastard." Zhen Qingyu looked annoyed, and beat Jia Heng with her fists like raindrops, but was easily subdued by Jia Heng.

Zhen Qing's jade face was reddish, her panting was slight, she suppressed the ripples in her heart, and snorted coldly, under her beautiful eyebrows, her moist and beautiful eyes gleamed dimly, and said in a low voice: "Even if you don't help me, don't ruin my business. otherwise…"

"Well, are you being aggressive again?" Jia Heng frowned.

Zhen Qing's jade cheeks were already as beautiful as rosy clouds, her cheeks were as red as blood, she bit her cherry lips with her white teeth, and said in a low voice: "You bastard."

Is this person endless?

Jia Heng said softly: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, every time we talk about it, we will start arguing."

He insisted on letting Zhen Qing get over it, if he wanted to take it first, he had to give it first, and when the time was right, Zhen Qing would know that without him, it seemed that the Queen's position that he had been thinking so much about might not be interesting at all. .

For example, Empress Song, the position of empress is just like that. It has been many years... I don't know how they all came here.

"It's you who insisted on saying it." Zhen Qing said with sullen Yu Rong, her eyebrows curved.

The two got tired of talking for a while, Jia Heng glanced at the misty and rainy courtyard outside, and said softly: "It's getting late, it's time to go, don't make people suspicious."

Although the two talked about the secrets of the military camp together, staying in the same room for too long would always make people suspicious.

"The female officers are all my confidantes, so it's okay." Zhen Qing's beautiful face like a flower stamen was dizzy, and her charming and flowing beautiful eyes were sharp, and she asked: "That Jinyi general who is following you?"

In fact, the nanny who had doubts in the first place was slanderous in private, but she had already disposed of her. The people around her were all young female officials who had been confidantes for many years. The lives of her family members were in her hands. Doubt, just pretend not to know.

She and he need to find a long-term plan, and she thinks that apart from his always irritating people, other things are also in line with her wishes.

"She's a female guard, and also my confidant. It's fine." Jia Heng pinched Zhen Qing's face lightly, and said in a warm voice.

Chen Xiao was already a strange person on the scene anyway, so there was no need to avoid it.

When Zhen Qing heard this, Liu Yemei frowned slightly, and her beautiful eyes filled with water seemed a little thoughtful, just now the guard of the Jinyi Mansion looked handsome, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, he really didn't look like a man.

Jia Heng nodded, helped Zhen Qing up, straightened her clothes, and immediately picked up a handkerchief and handed it over, then went to pour the tea, accompanied by the rushing water vapor, and a scent of fragrance, coming Go to the incense burner, fill it with ice cream and incense slices, and with the scent of sandalwood, the indoor air will be completely new.

Supported by a snow-white lotus root arm, Zhen Qing got up, straightened her dress, and came in full, with her sharp voice in the past, soft and greasy, and said: "Then I'll just say that when I go back."

It's not easy for her to go back at this time, for fear of being caught out.

Jia Heng walked closer, looked at the alluring and gorgeous jade man, called Zhen Qing, and said, "Wait a minute."

Saying that, she walked to the front and stretched out her hand to help Zhen Qing to pick up the scattered gold hairpins again.

Zhen Qing gradually withdrew her amazed eyes, and then her eyes were as soft as water, letting the boy who was seven or eight years younger than herself lightly support her golden hairpin and straighten her clothes, a little sweetness surged deep in her heart.

With the beauty gradually calming down, Jia Heng held a clean handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat on the beauty's cheeks and neck, and said: "Go back to the manor of you and Xueer to take a bath and send off It’s enough for a female officer to report a letter, just say that I haven’t seen a good face, so you can go back and have a good rest, seeing that you didn’t sleep well yesterday, your eyes are bloodshot.”

As she spoke, she lightly stroked the corners of Zhen Qing's eyes, and felt the charm of Qi Yun overflowing from her fingers.

"En." Zhen Qing raised her beautiful eyes, and looked intently at the tenderly admonishing young man, the outline of the young man's handsome face was reflected in her watery beautiful eyes, she was silent for a while.

Compared to the last time, this time he seems to be gentler to her, um, is it because he just served him?Sure enough, it's a dirty brat.

Jia Heng looked at the fair-skinned beauty, pinched her plump and white cheeks, and said, "Okay, the princess is magnificent and glamorous."

"Do you need to say it?" Zhen Qing snorted and said angrily, she is the most beautiful, otherwise she wouldn't have let this person be so...obsessed and infatuated with her.

Afterwards, the beauty adjusted her makeup and left the study slowly. As usual, she went to the toilet first and washed her hands.

Jia Heng came to the book case, picked up a book, flipped through it casually, and then left the room refreshed. At that time, it was almost evening, the sky was dark, there was light rain, and the shadowy eaves and ridges in the distance shrouded In a vastness.

Jia Heng looked at Chen Xiao, who had a frosty expression on his face, and stood holding the knife, with a face as calm as water, and asked, "Any news?"

"Wang Shouqi came over from Jinling, and sent someone to make a call. He is going to visit you. He wants to see you." Chen Xiao's nose moved slightly, her brows were frowned, and her voice was a little cold. To be brooding, or because of something else.

Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'll go see him after I take a bath, what else?"

"The Cheng family also confessed, and now the Bao family and the Huang family are involved, what should we do next?" Chen Xiao asked.

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Interrogate first, and send Jinyi Mansion Tiqi to seal off the two manors to prevent the children of the two families from transferring property. If there is evidence, we will search and torture immediately."

Seeing Chen Xiao who was still following along step by step, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

"When you were young, you should avoid sex. You are so addicted to sex and lust...it's not a long-term solution." Chen Xiaoxiu's clear eyes sparkled under her brows, and she said in a cold voice.

She felt that it was necessary to persuade her cousin that if he really controlled the world in the future, there would definitely be problems if he went on like this without restraint.

Jia Heng looked at Chen Ling in surprise, and after a while, he smiled lightly and said, "You...you don't know me, but it was a good intention. From today onwards, I will quit drinking."

Chen Xiao: "???"

What quit drinking, does it have something to do with alcohol?He usually doesn't drink very much, but she tells him to restrain himself, and every time he tosses for several hours, and that Princess Chu, Zhen Qing, looks like a demon concubine, a poisonous woman.

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower, let's talk about it later." Jia Heng turned to look at Chen Xiao, whispered, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to gently pinch his face, but this time he didn't provoke Chen Ling any more, it was just an ordinary pinch.

Chen Xiao: "..."

Looking at the young man who quickly entered the wing room in embarrassment, he tightly grasped the Xiuchun knife at his waist.

After going back, you need to talk to that person, otherwise, it's not a long-term solution for him to continue being so absurd.

As night fell, the rain seemed to be getting heavier. Jia Heng put on a Shu brocade green shirt and went to the front hall. At this moment, Wang Shouqi had been waiting for quite a while.

Seeing Jia Heng, Wang Shouqi hurriedly got up to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Uncle Yongning."

Jia Heng looked at Wang Shouqi and asked, "Master Wang is not working in Jinling, why come here when he is free?"

Wang Shouqi sighed, and said: "I was in Jinling, I never thought that the Ma family and the Cheng family would be so daring to send people to hijack the big prison in Jinyi Mansion. After hearing the news, I was quite shocked."

Jia Heng said: "Now the two have been arrested."

Wang Shouqi said: "Uncle Yongning, I dare to ask you what the Bao family and the Huang family said?"

Jia Heng said: "The two patriarchs were at Cheng's house on the night of the prison robbery, and they are also suspected of being accomplices, and the case of smuggling to the East has been found out earlier, and they are being investigated. Didn't Master Wang say the same before?"

Wang Shouqi's face froze when he heard the words, and he did not continue the words, and said, "I don't know how this case will be tried, Uncle Yongning?"

Don't let these few companies pull out the case of the salt transportation department's deficit, then no one can escape.

"The collusion with Donglu is a major case since the founding of the country, and it will eventually be delivered to Shenjing to ask the emperor to order it to deal with it." Jia Heng looked calm, but instead said with a word of relief: "Master Wang, don't worry, as long as other salt merchants don't talk to Dong There is no need to worry about being affected by this case even if the captives have colluded with each other."

The worry in Wang Shouqi's heart has not been dispelled since then, his face paused, his old eyes looked at Jia Heng, and he said: "Uncle Yongning is still free recently. I heard that the Jiangbei camp has been reorganized and recruited soldiers. The old man will find a few more soldiers." Friends of the family donate the soldiers' salaries to help the camp."

Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Master Wang is too polite. The Jiangbei camp's payment was originally allocated by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War in Nanjing. We can't let the local merchants in Yangzhou spend the money all the time. This is harmful to the country's economic system."

The so-called donation is nothing more than money taken from the storage, left handed and right handed, and when the deficit in the salt storage is found out, these people will return whatever silver they took from the court.

When Wang Shouqi heard this, he became even more worried.

Jia Heng said: "Master Wang, I'm going to Jinling again tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the Yamen of Yanyuan in Yangzhou, if I have anything to do, I'll talk about it when I come back."

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Daiyu for a few days, and Daiyu doesn't know what to worry about.

Wang Shouqi nodded, cupped his hands and said goodbye, and left Yangzhou Salt Court Yamen with a heavy heart.

After Wang Shouqi left, Chen Xiao walked up and asked, "Is Wang Shouqi scared?"

Jia Heng said: "Half of the eight general merchants in Yangzhou were wiped out at once. In addition, Yangzhou city is full of my soldiers and horses. How could they not panic? The next step is to wait for their choice, whether to invest in Jiangnan, or Throw it in Jiangbei."

If they get mixed up with Shen Fang, needless to say, there will be a fight.
