The Red Mansions

Chapter 754 Zhen Qing: If she hadn't married the prince...

Yangzhou, Salt Court Yamen

In the wing
Zhen Lan, Zhen Xi and Zhou Shi were talking, smiling.

Zhou looked at the two girls with a smile, and said: "Yu'er is not here, if she is, you young girls have a lot to say."

With a bright smile on Zhen Lan's face, she said: "Sister Lin, I saw her at home last time and talked to her a lot. When I got back to Jinling, I said I would go and see her."

Zhen Xi also said in a waxy voice: "Sister Lin was talking poetry to us that day."

Zhou said with a smile: "Yu'er usually loves these."

While Zhen Lan was speaking, she couldn't help raising her eyes to glance at the sky outside, and said to herself, Eldest Sister and Brother Heng have been talking for a while, and they don't know how they are talking about their second uncle and fourth uncle.

Brother Heng, most likely he doesn't want to help.

It was already late afternoon, the warm summer sun shone on a table in the study, the curling heat in the teacup had long since dissipated, and Jia Heng embraced Zhen Qing's plump waist, with a mountain word without wings. There was also sweat oozing from the forehead and cheeks under the crown.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, and the weather is still a bit hot. After all this obsession, I didn't sweat less.

Zhen Qing hugged Jia Heng's neck tightly at this moment, her temples were disheveled, her snowy and gorgeous cheeks and delicate neck were covered with a layer of crystal sweat, her mouth was slightly breathy, and her chest heaved unsteadily.

"Take a break, get up quickly, people should be suspicious later." Jia Heng looked at the beautiful Huaxin young woman with a peach-like face, and said softly.

Under Zhen Qing's beautiful eyebrows, the narrow and long phoenix eyes painted with rose-red eye shadow opened slightly, and the corners of the eyes overflowed inch by inch, and her icy and delicate face was already fainted by the red clouds, and her delicate body trembled non-stop, as if she was still immersed in it. in the aftertaste.

Jia Heng took a handkerchief to Zhen Qing to save the sweat from her forehead and temples, and said softly: "This is not the last time, why do you do this?"

Zhen Qing's jade face was as red as a cloud, feeling the young man's thoughtfulness, her heart was filled with sweetness, her soft voice was already trembling, and she said: "Anyway, you don't want me anymore, it would be better if you... get it today."

Jia Heng was speechless for a while, and said in a low voice, "Even if you want... I can't do it."

Holding Zhen Qing in her arms, she said, "I never said I didn't want you."

"Then you paid it back just now?" Zhen Qing asked angrily with a shameful face.

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing, who was blushing and fragrant, and said softly, "It's just for you to think about it. What exactly do you want to do? What is it for?"

Annoyance appeared on Zhen Qing's face, and she said, "You say I'm using you? I just want to be with you forever, and I want the two of us to be in charge of state affairs for a long time, but you don't agree."

"You just want to be a queen, don't say those high-sounding words, you can't fool me." Jia Heng said.

Zhen Qing is also very good at drawing cakes sometimes, and most people believe it when they can't tell it.

Zhen Qing became angry from embarrassment, and said: "I just want to be a queen, what's wrong? If you have the ability, you... I will be your concubine willingly."

Clearly in a moment of urgency, he said outrageous words.

Jia Heng paused, his eyes darkened, but he didn't answer the words, and asked deliberately: "Since you said that the two of us are in charge of state affairs for a long time, I'm curious."

"Curiosity about what?" Zhen Qing couldn't help asking, frowned and licked her lips with powder.

"What about the King of Chu? What is he doing? He is watching us entangle with each other?" Jia Heng said solemnly, seeming to cooperate with the entanglement.

What is in charge of state affairs, isn't it just because you want him to help the king of Chu get to that position?This poisonous snake and scorpion woman still hasn't figured out the situation, let him help the king of Chu?Does she know what she's thinking?
It's better to help the King of Chu than to do it himself, um, that's what I said.

"You... bastard, can you leave him alone?" Zhen Qing said with embarrassment in her beautiful eyes, biting her red lips with her cherry teeth, and lightly thumped Jia Heng.

Every time this bastard talks... she has a picture.

He had mentioned the prince frequently in her ear just now, and she didn't know what he answered in the confusion.

Sensing some subtle reactions from Zhen Qing, Jia Heng smiled lightly and said, "Then let's not talk about it, just wipe the sweat off your neck."

As he spoke, he handed over a handkerchief.

Zhen Qing took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her neck, then put down the handkerchief, the young man's stern and resolute eyes were reflected in her beautiful eyes, and she said infatuatedly, "Zi Yu, then don't leave me, okay?"

She really couldn't do without this bastard, even if she became a queen one day, she felt that she couldn't do without him.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, but did not speak.

Who can tell what the future holds.

Seeing this, Zhen Qing snorted a bit, and suddenly moved her rosy red lips close to her, only to see Jia Heng approaching her.

"You bastard, what are you hiding from?" Zhen Qingyu said angrily, then she reacted and said mockingly: "When I was serving you, I didn't see you being disgusted."

Jia Heng's expression was unnatural, he looked around and said: "Qing'er, let's talk about the business."

Zhen Qing snorted softly, and said: "Okay, let's get down to business. The old lady is afraid that she won't be able to make it through this time, so she wants to promise you the fourth sister."

Jia Heng frowned, and said: "Old Madam Zhen is trying to use a beauty trick? It's not like she doesn't know that I have a family, besides, it's useless to do these things."

He didn't think that Mrs. Zhen would promise Zhen Xi to be his concubine, and he didn't have much interest in that little girl.

"What's wrong with having a family?" Zhen Qing pressed her glowing cheeks to Jia Heng's face, and said with a sneer, "Before Xianning came to you, didn't you have a family?"

Jia Heng didn't follow along to mention Xianning, but said: "The Zhen family is also a famous family, I am afraid that the old lady agrees, and your father and the family will not agree."

"Father has nothing to disagree with. The fourth uncle has caused such a big disaster, and the family situation doesn't know what to do. What's more, the old lady means that the fourth sister can serve you tea and water, and make the bed and fold the quilt." As Zhen Qing spoke, she suddenly fell silent, and said: "This is the fate of us girls. Fortunately, Xi'er was able to meet you, which is also her luck."

Jia Heng whispered: "You let me think about it."

Zhen Qing turned her face away, raised her long and narrow phoenix eyes to look at Jia Heng, and said with a light smile, "You didn't realize the appearance and character of Sister Xi'er, she looks a bit like Sister Xue'er? Don't you like Xue'er a lot?"

The four sisters, Lan'er and Xi'er, one looks like her and the other looks like the second younger sister, but sister Lan'er has already promised someone, otherwise... she can accompany him for her when she is not around .

Jia Heng paused, and said: "Let's not talk about her father Zhen Zhu's temperament, just say that sister Xi'er is so young, she has not yet reached the age of many people, and she will be a maid by my side, what will people outside do?" look?"

He really didn't want to have anything to do with people like Zhen Zhu, and he accepted the prostitute daughter of the Zhen family, so he wanted to help them intercede?Although Mrs. Zhen would not say that, but the future care is still inevitable.

Zhen Qing sighed softly, and said softly: "Xi'er is actually very pitiful, such a foolish father on the stall usually doesn't care much about her, and now Fourth Uncle has lost such a big man again, Do you think there are good people who are willing to marry her? Instead of this, it’s better to follow you, and I have the right to apologize to you for the matter of the fourth uncle. "

Jia Heng pondered: "I can't take her with me, it's not convenient for her to be by my side."

There are already enough people around him, and he doesn't want to bring another oil bottle.

Zhen Qing looked at the young man with firm eyebrows and said, "Then put it by my side first, it will be inconvenient for me to return to Beijing, let her serve you."

As she said that, the beauty laughed at herself and said, "It's also a new taste for you, so that you won't get bored again."

Jia Heng: "..."

This poisonous woman is clearly still brooding over what she just said.

"Is there a sister like you? Pushing sisters into the fire pit one after another?" Jia Heng patted the millstone lightly and whispered.

"That's how I am a sister. When I meet good ones, I don't want to monopolize them. I want to share them with them. Anyway, in your heart, I am a vicious woman who can only use you. I am far less pure-minded than Xueer." Zhen Qingleng Said in a low voice, just talking, suddenly sad and wronged, turned her head to the side, her beautiful eyes gradually became moist, and tears filled her eyelashes.

He is tired of her majestic princess flattering him in every possible way?
Even to the prince, not to mention that she has never served her like just now, even these years, the prince has also feared and respected her, how can he behave like this?

For some reason, she seemed to be poisoned by this bastard. When she heard that he had won the battle, she came to see him for the first time, but he got tired of what he said?
Jia Heng hugged Zhen Qing, wiped the tears from the corners of the beauty's eyes, looked at the rosy face, and said softly: "Don't be wronged, I know you have your difficulties, the parents and daughters of Zhen take care of the affairs of the clan, but All these years, I have worked so hard for the Zhen family, even my whole life has been involved in it."

This femme fatale has already started to bow her head, but if she wants her to give up the queen's goal, she probably can't. It can only be said that Zhen Qing loves herself and feels that she can't give up on him. No more.

Even compared to the illusory goal of the queen, the importance of being with him should be even higher at this moment.

As for King Chu?

Wait a minute, where is my husband... who is King Chu?
He can't just suppress Zhen Qing blindly, he still has to give some sweetness.

Hearing the young man's considerate words, Zhen Qing's tender body trembled slightly, and the phoenix eyes under the willow-leaf slender eyebrows seemed to be misty, shining brightly, and she said aggrievedly: "Then you hurt me like that just now! You just took the knife to me Heart poking, I make you tired, make you tired! You are a heartless bastard."

Said, Fen Fist lightly beat Jia Heng.

Jia Heng gently stroked Zhen Qing's cheek, looked at the tears in the long and narrow phoenix eyes, and sighed: "I also think that short-term pain is worse than long-term pain."

"I just want to be in pain." Zhen Qing said, grabbed Jia Heng's hand, looked at the tooth mark, stroked it lightly, her heart ached, and she said harshly: "Anyway, if you don't want me anymore, let's go together Go to hell, and be with you on the way to Huangquan."

Jia Heng didn't say anything more, even if you go to hell, you won't be able to take me with you, just said: "I advise you not to be too attached to the matter of the Zhen family."

Zhen Qing's temperament is quite paranoid, and it was thanks to him that she was able to subdue Zhen Qing.

Zhen Qing's jade face was as red as the sky, she pursed her cherry lips, put her arms around Jia Heng's neck again, leaned her head on Jia Heng's shoulder, and murmured: "Zi Yu, I don't want to take care of family matters anymore, Let's not separate, okay?"

It should be because of family matters, Fourth Uncle broke his promise and lost so many soldiers and horses, which made him angry and blamed her on her head.

"Hmm." Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then said, "The Zhen family is actually not hopeless."

Zhen Qing: "???"

Jia Heng said: "In the future, there will always be some love in the palace. The key is you. Over the years, you have helped the King of Chu do too many taboo things. You always pretend to be smart. I am worried that you will end badly. After all, the king is the son of the Holy One, so he might be able to save his life in the end, what about you? At that time, do you think I will save you or not?"

At best, the king of Chu would be imprisoned until death, but Zhen Qing would definitely die with a three-foot white silk or a glass of poisoned wine.

When Zhen Qing heard this, her thoughts were complicated, she raised her rosy and seductive face, her sharp and beautiful eyes showed firmness, and said: "When that day really comes, don't worry, I won't implicate you!"

This is a woman, she wanted to die with Jia Heng just now, but now she doesn't want to implicate Jia Heng, but the way of not implicating him is obviously to separate, but in Zhen Qing's heart, separation cannot be separated. If you dare to separate, then perish together.

"Speaking out of anger." Jia Heng pinched Zhen Qing's face lightly, frowning.

Zhen Qing bit her pink lips with her white teeth, stared at Jia Heng with her phoenix eyes, and said softly: "If that day really comes, it will be my own fault, and it has nothing to do with you."

Jia Heng was silent for a while, and said: "Then you let me watch you fade away, and at that time, it will be you..."

At the end, she fell silent for a moment, put Zhen Qing's hand on her heart, and said in a low voice: "It's you who stabbed my heart with a knife."

Zhen Qing's heart was shocked when she heard the words, she fixedly looked at the young man's Qingjun face, and said in a trembling voice: "Zi Yu."

They couldn't help wrapping around Jia Heng's neck tightly, they were hugging each other tightly, now they wished they could rub themselves into the young man's arms, regardless of each other.

She knew that he also had her in his heart, she and him were a match made in heaven, if she hadn't married the prince...she and him would have been a match.

But why couldn't he help her?Could it be because of what happened in Yuanchun back then, that he still had a grudge against the prince?
Jia Heng hugged Zhen Qing, leaned into Li Ren's ear, and said in a low voice: "Okay, it's useless to think about it now, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, you should also restrain yourself these few days, don't do those taboo things My son, the Holy One wants to rejuvenate the great man. For the position in the East Palace, he must choose a talented person. If the king of Chu is dedicated to serving the country, the Holy One will not turn a blind eye. Now what the big man needs is a king with promise. I told you these words, and Even if you play a conspiracy, are you really the opponent of the Supreme in the palace?"

Zhen Qing's phoenix eyes flashed, her thoughts were complicated, can the prince do it?Without her help, the prince would be the opponent of King Qi and King Wei?

Why can't this person be a prince? If he is a prince, with his mind and methods, it will be a matter of time before he becomes a prince. At that time, she will be a princess, queen... Well, what mess is she thinking about?

Under Zhen Qing's curved willow-leaf eyebrows, her charming and flowing phoenix eyes flickered, she whispered in Jia Heng's ear: "Zi Yu, love me..."

Jia Heng: "???"

This poisonous woman, ordinary people really can't subdue her, or he made her experience the joy of being a woman. After she returned to the capital, she could not say that she respected the king of Chu like ice.

Another long time passed.

"Obviously it won't work, so I have to be brave." Jia Heng supported Zhen Qing's plump waist and said in a low voice: "It's almost done."

This journey has been full of ups and downs.

Zhen Qing tremblingly said: "Well, then let me go."

I don't know why, but being with him seems like nothing can get enough of me. Being the queen of the mother's world may not be so happy, right?Well, that's different, well, she needs both.

Jia Heng carried Zhen Qing back to the bed again, and said in a low voice, "Qing'er."

The two of them were tender and obsessed for a while, Jia Heng said softly: "Okay, this conversation has been long enough, and others should be suspicious if we stay any longer."

Accompanied by a strange voice, Jia Heng left Zhen Qing, got up, and straightened her clothes.

Under Zhen Qing's beautiful eyebrows, a pair of cold and beautiful phoenix eyes looked at Jia Heng angrily. She was about to take the handkerchief, but the scene was gone, but when she stood up, her legs trembled.

Jia Heng stepped forward to support Zhen Qing, and said, "Take a break, just wash your face later."

She thought to herself, if things go on like this, maybe Xu and Zhen Qing will have a child.

Although he is gaining strength, it does not mean that it is impossible at all. If Zhen Qing becomes pregnant, it will actually be quite troublesome.

"You bastard." Zhen Qing looked at Jia Heng in embarrassment with a bright and beautiful face, and she couldn't even stand firmly at the moment.

Jia Heng helped Zhen Qing tidy up her slightly messy dress, supported the crooked gold hairpin on her bun, and said softly, "I'll go to Jinling tomorrow and transfer the soldiers and horses of the Jiangnan battalion. If Second Uncle can do his duty and make some contributions, he may accumulate affection in the future, but don't expect too much, it won't help you."

The Zhen family is actually more like the Jia family without him. Unless there is another him in the Zhen family, no matter how much they struggle, it will be difficult to restore the collapse of the building.

"Have a sip of tea." Jia Heng took the tea cup and handed it to Zhen Qing.

Zhen Qing gave a soft "Mmm", and her phoenix eyes looked at the young man affectionately, her heart was so sweet, affectionate, soft and glistening, she said softly: "Zi Yu, I can't lift my arms, you feed me a drink .”

"Are you a child?" Jia Heng said softly, but she also took the teacup, held Zhen Qing in her arms, and handed it to Rose's lips.

It feels like Zhen Qing has already started to fall in love with her after being teased by him, and the little girl has started to act like a baby. It is estimated that the king of Chu may not see his wife in his life, so he will have such a petty attitude?
Well, his idea is not very good.

Seeing Tian Ran's contentment on Zhen Qing's crystal clear face, she looked at the young man with shining eyes and said, "Zi Yu, why don't you let Xi'er stay with that Sister Lin for a few days, and I will see Sister Lin alone in Jinling?" , so lonely."

"We'll talk about it when we get to Jinling." Jia Heng said softly, and suddenly said: "By the way, Xianning may come over after a while, so don't look for me yet."

He wasn't worried about Xianning, he was worried about Jinyang. During this period of time, he had been arguing too much with the two demon concubines, and he always felt blocked by his wife.

Zhen Qing snorted softly, obviously a little displeased with Jia Heng's words of not looking for herself, and said angrily: "Xianning, she is a little girl, wherever you go, she will follow you."

Anyway, from Shenjing, there is still one month left.

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing, pinched Zhen Qing's greasy face, and said: "You are a sister-in-law, and you are jealous of your sister-in-law."

After a lot of tossing around before, it was obvious that Zhen Qing had reached the stage of passionate love for him, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad for him.

The two got tired of it, Zhen Qing still left first, Jia Heng simply tidied up in the study, and then left the study, ready to wash her hands.

Under Chen Xiao's eyebrows, her clear eyes looked at Jia Heng coldly, and said quietly: "If you don't make a clean break with her, what will happen in the future?"

Jia Heng thought for a while, and said: "You heard it just now, she almost went crazy, take your time."

If you really want to disconnect, you can still disconnect, as long as you hurt Zhen Qing hard, of course, he will gain an enemy of "Niu Co Lu Qing" from now on, and he will fight against him everywhere. This is not the correct way to deal with relationship problems.

Chen Xiao said coldly: "It's okay in Jinling, no matter how much you hang out, people won't be suspicious. If you go back to the capital and still get together like this, sooner or later you will be discovered by the King of Chu. At that time, how could the King of Chu swallow it?" This breath?"

"The King of Chu is a smart man." Jia Heng said in a low voice after being silent for a moment.

Chen Xiao: "..."

Wise man, what do you mean?
Jia Heng's eyes were dark, and he said in a low voice: "It may be a bit sad to say that Zhen Qing is just a woman, and it is not important enough compared to that chair."

He felt that even if the King of Chu was aware of it, he would probably not make a statement, but would threaten him instead.

Otherwise, if he really ruined his face, even though he would become notorious, the king of Chu would also become a laughing stock in the world, and he would never have the chance to become a great power again. Besides, Zhen Qing has a strong personality, and the Zhen family is behind her.

The King of Chu couldn't do without Zhen Qing's help, and Zhen Qing was so crazy, she should be confident that she could settle the King of Chu.

As for, "King Chu, it's time to drink medicine?"

Although Zhen Qing has a heart of snakes and scorpions, how can she become a queen without King Chu?So unlikely.

Even if there is that day, it will be after King Chu ascended the throne.

Moreover, the relationship between the two husbands and wives has not completely broken down, and now it is just a porcelain full of cobwebs.

Chen Xiao looked gloomy and said, "You men, for the sake of power, really do anything by hook or by crook."

The same goes for the one in the palace. Brothers killed each other just for that seat.

"Don't you guys, I'm not." Jia Heng said lightly.

Chen Xiao sneered: "Yes, you are a womanizer."

Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "Okay, I won't argue with you anymore, I'll go take a shower first, and then we'll go to the Yangzhou Baihu Office."

Chen Ling looked at the figure who disappeared in the moon gate, and frowned. For some reason, she felt a little weird, and felt that something was missing.

Well, Jia Heng didn't pinch Chen Xiao's cheek just now.

After Jia Heng took a bath and changed his clothes, he was already a friend of Shen You, and because it was a long summer and the sun had not yet set in the west, he went to Yangzhou Hundred Households under the retinue of the Jinyi Fuwei of the brigade.

On the other side, Zhen Qing waited to tidy up, especially her limp legs were no longer abnormal, so she called Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi sisters to leave Yangzhou Yanyuan Yamen.

The beauty is wearing a red dress, perhaps the stamens are exposed, the original is gorgeous and seductive, and the beauty is shining, the charm between the eyebrows and the eyes is flowing, and the charm is charming. Surrounded by the nuns and the female officials, they came to the carriage with carved tassels. near.

Zhen Lan couldn't help raising her eyes to look at her eldest sister again, feeling suspicious in her heart, and asked delicately, "Sister, where's Brother Heng?"

There were two people when I went there before, why is there only one sister now?
Zhen Qing smiled and said, "Brother Heng has gone to deal with official business. We have already agreed to go to Jinling to meet the old lady tomorrow."

Saying that, looking at the only carriage, she thought, she will go back with the two maids, don't let them notice something.

After getting into the carriage, because they were in the same carriage, Zhen Lan's nose twitched slightly, and Wan Wan's eyebrows frowned. She didn't know if it was hot, but she was sweating a lot. She always felt that the elder sister...she couldn't tell. What kind of smell, it's just that after smelling it for a long time, I feel a little dizzy and my cheeks feel hot.

Zhen Xi didn't notice anything unusual, raised her palm-sized pretty face, and asked, "Elder Sister, what did Brother Heng say to Daddy?"

Zhen Qing sighed softly: "Fourth Uncle, he is afraid that he might not be able to keep his official position, and there may be other accusations."

Hearing this, Zhen Xi's face was slightly pale, and she was holding a handkerchief.

Zhen Lan asked: "Elder Sister, Brother Heng is in charge of the Jiangnan Camp, so he must make adjustments to personnel. Can Second Uncle's errand be kept?"

Zhen Qing said: "It depends on the specific performance of the army. It is estimated that the first wave will check the vacancies, and the chasing soldiers will be greedy. Although your second uncle has been in the same dust all these years, he has never taken any vacancies. "

The Zhen family is not short of money, but lacks power. Earlier, Zhen Qing even told the family that military power is the most important thing, and they should not treat the generals harshly.

Zhen Lan thought for a while, and said: "Brother Heng, now he is in charge of the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps, and most likely he wants to build a navy to wipe out water bandits. I heard that the Jurchen prince is still fleeing at sea, so maybe there will be some disturbances again. Uncle is also a navy general, it would be great if he could make some contributions along with him."

"Sister Lan'er is really good at military affairs." Zhen Qing said in surprise, she smiled and said: "It seems that I have read those books usually, it would be great if our family has a female general."

Zhen Lan's cheeks were slightly flushed by Zhen Qing's praise, and she said softly, "Sister, I usually just flip through books at random, but I don't really understand much about it."

The girl leaned her head on Zhen Qing's shoulder as she did when she was a child, but after a while, she felt an indescribable breath coming from her eldest sister's beautiful neck.

Zhen Lan frowned, feeling her heart beating non-stop.

Not to mention that the sisters of the Zhen family returned to the manor in Yangzhou Prefecture in a carriage.

Yangzhou Hundred Households Office
Under the escort of Liu Jixian, Chen Xiao and other guards of the Jinyi Mansion, Jia Heng entered the official office of the guard.

At this moment, Nie Hong, a hundred households of the Yangzhou Hundred Households Office, and Shang Ming, the governor of the North Town of Jinyi Mansion, Xingbaihu, came out to welcome the young nobleman who had just won a big victory in Haimen, with a smile on his face. Excited, he called out: "Captain."

Jia Heng nodded, walked towards the courtyard, and asked, "How is the interrogation of criminals in the guard recently?"

Shang Ming said: "Cheng and Ma have confessed to the case of smuggling to Jurchen by sea over the years. The relevant witnesses and confessions have been investigated one after another. Bao and Huang are also involved in the case and began to confess one after another."

As he said that, he took out a booklet from a General Banner in Jinyi accompanying him, cupped his hands and said, "A brief summary, please read it over."

Jia Heng took the booklet, walked towards the official hall, sat down, and began to read.

The eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou, Cheng Peili, Ma Xianjun, Bao Zuhui, and Huang Cheng were all involved in the case, but the four were involved in the case, but the evidence of colluding with the Eastern Captives was indeed conclusive.

Jia Heng nodded, put the booklet on the small table beside him, and asked, "Where is Liu Shengzao, the transshipment envoy of both Huaihe Rivers and Huaihe Rivers? Have you found any new and useful clues during the interrogation these days?"

Shang Ming looked distressed, and said: "My lord, Liu Shengzao's confession was recorded by the lowly ranks, but the matter involved the palace, so I dare not continue to torture and interrogate him. I ask the governor to make a decision."

Liu Shengzao entered the torture chamber of the Jinyi Mansion, and in order not to suffer too much, he said at the beginning that he was working for the Chonghua Palace, and that the so-called deficit of the Salt Transportation Department did not exist at all, and then made these Jinyi school captains confused.

Because the Jinyi Mansion is for the palace, since it involves the chief eunuch of the palace and the Supreme Emperor of the Chonghua Palace, it is not good to torture him.

"Oh." Jia Heng frowned, already guessing the reason in his heart.

Exactly how much dirty water Liu Shengzao has poured into the Chonghua Palace, and how much corruption he has concealed, remains to be inquired, and only he is qualified to inquire.

Jia Heng's face was like black water, and he said: "Then I will ask you personally."

Entering the torture room on the west side of the official hall, sitting behind the case, while looking at the latest report, he ordered: "Go and bring the person here."

Not long after, Liu Shengzao was brought over. He was dressed in a prison uniform and his hair was loose. Because he didn't use torture, he was in good spirits. He entered the official hall, and two warriors in brocade clothes followed Liu Shengzao's shoulders and shouted heavily: "Kneel down! "

Liu Shengzao knelt down, with an angry look on his face, he looked at the young dignitary sitting behind Shuai's case, and said with a sneer, "Child Jia Heng, when I accompanied the emperor on a tour of Yangzhou, you were not born yet."

"Presumptuous!" Shang Ming, who was watching from the side, roared angrily.

Jia Heng looked at Liu Shengzao with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice, "You really think that I dare not kill you."

Liu Shengzao sneered, and said: "I have been in charge of the Salt Transport Division for more than ten years. I have seen countless feudal officials, dukes and dignitaries. What are you, Jia Heng's son? Let me tell you that the Lianghuai Salt Transport Division will be held every year. Send the remaining silver to the Chonghua Palace through Eunuch Zhao, the chief eunuch in charge of Beijing, and if you want to investigate the deficit of the Salt Transportation Department, just go and investigate!"

Although the Supreme Emperor retired in Chonghua Palace, he was an emperor who had ruled the world for decades, so he didn't believe that this kid really wanted to smear the Supreme Emperor's face in his twilight years.

Jia Heng looked at Shang Ming at the side, and said coldly: "Besides sending these to the palace, you have also been greedy a lot, right? How much have you been greedy over the years, if you recruited them according to the truth, I can still ask the Holy One to forgive you If you continue to blame the emperor, not only your wealth and life, but also your three clans will all be slaughtered!"

Looking at the fearless young man, Liu Shengzao was slightly startled.

Jia Heng shouted heavily: "Put him to death first, torture him severely."

Jinyi Mansion interrogated the prisoner, how could he not be punished.

With that said, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
