The Red Mansions

Chapter 835 Jia Heng: Xu is looking up at her heart...... I don't know

In the post house
When all the officials present heard Jia Heng mentioning the abolition of the crown prince and King Zhao, their faces changed suddenly, and they were all shocked by what the young man said.

Jia Heng pondered and said: "The assassins attacking and killing the prince must have hidden a huge conspiracy. This matter must be thoroughly investigated."

At this moment, Jiangnan officials present hardly dared to look at Jia Heng, for fear of being missed.

The prince was assassinated, and the eldest son was murdered and died. The emperor was undoubtedly furious, but after the anger, it was natural to track down the real culprit.

But the real culprit was connected with the deposed prince and Zhao Wang's party, and things suddenly became complicated.

Jia Heng said: "Earlier this morning, Fang Yaochun, the Imperial Supervisor of the Imperial College, brought his son to Zhen's house to withdraw the engagement. Can Mr. Fang tell you how you found out, or did you know that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not at Zhen's house, but in the posthouse? That's why you thought you had no scruples, and now you want to show off your might in the Zhen residence?"

Fang Yaochun's heart skipped a beat, he cursed secretly, and said anxiously: "Uncle Yongning, what do you mean? What's your intention of all this talk?"

Jia Heng looked at Fang Yaochun, and said coldly: "This official is just a reasonable guess, otherwise, it would be too coincidental, besides, you sacrificed wine for the Imperial College, and you claim to be clean, Xu is looking forward to the abolition of the crown prince and King Zhao. Also unknown."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a gust of cold wind, like a steel knife, almost chilling Fang Yaochun's body.

This Yongningbo is going to... kill the entire Fang family!

What does it mean? Fang Yaochun, as the imperial supervisor, admires and misses the abolished prince in his heart, and is dissatisfied with the legitimacy of the current majesty's succession to the throne. Even if it is just a guess, it is enough to destroy the Fang family.

"You, you spew blood!" Fang Yaochun's hands and feet were cold, and he looked at the boy in the python suit like a ghost, roaring in his heart.

I don't know... It's possible, probably, maybe it's such a thing, and it's somewhat similar to "unnecessary".

Several other officials were also shocked. What kind of enmity and resentment is this?
Looking at the boy in the python suit, there was also a trace of fear in his eyes.

If the memorial of such remarks is delivered to the emperor's desk, I am afraid that even if the Fang family is not destroyed, they will lose a layer of skin.

Since the first year of Chongping, the third year of Chongping, and the seventh year of Chongping, it can be said that every case involving the abolished prince will set off a bloody storm between the government and the public.

In fact, the previous prisons were the result of some kind of game between the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Chongping, representing the will of two generations of emperors.

The three parties of Qi, Zhejiang and Chu in the Chongping Dynasty gradually replaced Emperor Chongping with new blood after the central courtiers were purged several times.

Many senior officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing were precisely the ones who survived the turmoil in the central government.

Then, he looked at the other people and asked: "Who is colluding with the villain and carrying out the assassination plan? This matter will definitely be found out."

Shen Fang's eyes were serious, and he couldn't help but said: "Why did Yongning Bo assert that these assassins are the remnants of the abolished prince and Zhao Wang? It has been more than ten years since the early years of Chongping."

Jia Heng stared at Shen Fang, and said in a deep voice: "This is the Jinyi secret report. Mr. Shen has doubts. Why don't you go to the town governor to check the original file?"

Shen Fang's complexion changed suddenly when he heard the words, and his heart shook violently.

This is a naked threat to him!

Behind him, Bai Sixing and the judge, Lu Chaoyun's face changed, and they also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Jia Hengdao: "Last year, King Zhongshun was assassinated in Ciyun Temple in Shenjing City. At the beginning, it was investigated that it was the White Lotus Sect who caused the trouble. Now it seems that the White Lotus Sect has colluded with King Zhao to assassinate the prince in order to plot a great treason." Otherwise, why would ordinary thieves want to assassinate the vassal king?"

Mentioning this matter, I feel a little weird, should I arrest Xiaoxiao first and make a good job of it?
As soon as this remark came out, the hearts of Jiangnan officials present were all terrified.

This also involves King Zhongshun, who really took care of him now.

Who didn't know that King Zhongshun had a bloody hatred against the deposed prince and King Zhao's party?
The King of Chu looked at the young man, and for a moment, his heart was a little dazed.

Jia Heng turned to look at the King of Chu, and said, "Your Highness can stay in the post house recently, and be protected by the guards of Jinyi Mansion and Jiangnan Daying. I will report on this matter and investigate the truth. At the same time, I need to find out how the assassin did it. The matter of the son's murder was compiled into a dossier and reported to the Holy Majesty."

The death of Chen Chun, the son of Prince Chu, must have a detailed investigation report, mainly to look at Zhen Qing's situation.

The king of Chu was startled when he heard the words, and subconsciously said, "Uncle Yongning, is this...is this?"

Originally, he wanted to talk about whether to go to war, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, because it didn't fit his identity at all.

Jia Heng cupped his hands and said: "The Jinyi Mansion is still investigating, and I will definitely give the prince an explanation."

He played it truthfully, but added some private goods a little. The Jiangnan officialdom may have colluded with Zhao Wang, and the next step is to see the emperor's own imagination.

Does Jiangnan have some remnants of Zhao Wang? If the Jurchens attacked earlier, are these remnants planning to take advantage of the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River and stir up trouble?
Coupled with the fact that during the previous war against the captives, officials in the south of the Yangtze River dictated to him how to use his troops, the emperor could easily develop paranoia of persecution.

Moreover, is it true that there are no officials in Jiangnan who have colluded with Zhao Wang's son?
Shen Fang's face was gloomy at the moment, and suddenly he felt a biting cold wind coming from all directions.

This kid is going to go into slander and create a big prison!

This child Jia Heng is really vicious, a minister who harms the country and the people, wants to use cruel officials to smash the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jia Heng glanced at the surrounding people with sharp eyes like a falcon, and said: "Everyone, the memorandum has been delivered to Beijing this morning, please wait for the Holy Majesty's order."

In fact, it should not be possible to promote a large prison and implicate people wantonly.

Not only did Emperor Chongping's mentality change, he was not as murderous as in the early years, but also the Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, and Chu Party in the court would come out to stop it.

Of course, even if the imaginary prison does not flourish, there are still many people who will be unlucky for it.

At this moment, the faces of all Jiangnan officials were gloomy, and a thick layer of haze was cast over their hearts.

The accusations that Shangshu's impeachment of Jia Heng could not "investigate traitors in advance and fail to protect the vassal king" were all thrown away at this moment, and replaced by a response to the matter.

And following Jia Heng's statement that "the incident involves the remnants of King Zhao", it is conceivable that the city of Jinling is bound to fall into panic.

Especially the cabinet ministers and officials who were active in the Longzhi Dynasty, such as Hao Jiru, Minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Households, Tan Jie, Minister of the Ministry of War, Kuang Chun, the right capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dong Chongxue, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Yan Mao and others, these aged officials.

Jia Heng said, ignoring the restless Jiangnan officials, followed the King of Chu to the main hall of the post office, sat down, and asked, "My lord, can you tell me the details of the assassination that day, so that we can track down the bandits."

Hearing this, King Chu sighed and said, "Ziyu, the thieves made trouble suddenly. I was almost standing still at the time. Now that I think about it, I don't know what happened. Then Chun'er..."

At the end, there was a look of pain on his face, which made it unbearable to continue asking.

Seeing this, Jia Heng's face was silent, and he stopped asking.

It's just that for some reason, I always feel that the King of Chu's eyes are dodging, and his words seem to be incomplete and inaccurate, and this matter is somewhat strange.

No matter how chaotic and dangerous the scene was yesterday, there were so many guards in the scene, and many people were guarding a little boy.

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then said softly: "My lord, sorting out what happened will help you find out where these thieves are hiding. I will ask the princess later."

"Ask the princess?" Chu Wang raised his eyes to look at the young man with piercing eyes, and couldn't help feeling uncomfortable deep in his heart, and said, "Zi Yu, the princess is very sad now, and she may not remember what happened yesterday. "

Jia Heng said: "My lord, I need to ask about this matter, otherwise I will not be able to report to the Holy Majesty after the inquiry."

After all, he is his own grandchild, so it is impossible not to ask about the details of being stabbed, and just say that he was robbed by swords in such a vague manner.

The King of Chu opened his mouth when he heard the words, and finally heaved a sigh.

When Jia Heng was talking to the officials in the south of the Yangtze River outside, the Princess Jinyang in the room also heard the news of Jia Heng's arrival. The crystal clear eyes under Liu Yexiu's beautiful eyebrows flashed, and she said softly: "Lianxue, Go see what's going on outside."

Lianxue nodded, responded, and then walked out of the wing lightly.

Not long after, Lianxue left and returned, with complex expressions in her eyes, she said softly: "Your Highness, Uncle Yongning said that those assassins who assassinated were the remnants of King Zhao, and he will send the guards of Jinyi Mansion to investigate to the end."

Princess Jinyang frowned, with a dignified look on the lotus jade face, she murmured: "The remaining evils of King Zhao?"

Where did this start?
At this moment, the Gan family, the Sun family and the others looked at each other, and their expressions changed suddenly when they heard about the remnants of King Zhao.

Zhen Xue stretched out her hand to take Zhen Qing's slightly cold hand, and said worriedly: "Sister, do you want to meet?"

Ziyu is here now, and I don't know what to say later, I am afraid that my sister will lose control of her mood and break into Ziyu's arms again, then it will be bad.

Hearing Jia Heng's approach, Zhen Qing's gloomy eyes regained some of their spirits. She stared at Princess Jinyang and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Auntie, Uncle Yongning is coming to ask questions?"

Princess Jinyang said softly: "He seems to have found some clues, maybe he came here to ask you."

At this moment, a nun entered the wing and said: "Wangfei, Uncle Yongning asks to see Wangfei and ask about the case."

When Zhen Qing heard this, her heart was filled with sourness and grievance for a moment, she looked at Gan with tears in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Mother, let him in."

She also wanted to see him right now, and cry in his arms, but now there were a crowd of people, but she didn't know how to talk to him.

Mrs. Gan sighed, and ordered her nuns to meet Jia Heng. Immediately, the young female relatives in the room hurriedly retreated behind the screen.

Not long after, Jia Heng stepped into the house, not only came in by himself, but also brought Zhen Xi by his side.

Zhen Xi was dressed in a plain white dress, with pink temples, and Zhang Shaoyan's childish face was covered with sadness. Looking at the beauty lying on the bed, she called softly: "Big sister, third sister."

At this time, Zhen Lan approached and grabbed Zhen Xi's little hand, calling softly, "Fourth Sister."

While speaking, he couldn't help but look at the calm young man in the python suit, his hand under the cloak was holding the sword, his eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

Zhen Xue also looked at the boy in the python suit who entered with the sword, feeling mixed feelings in her heart for a moment.

The elder sister had lost a son, but she was pregnant with Ziyu's child by fate, and she... seemed to be pregnant with Ziyu's child too.

My sister told him that she would let her be born.

But there's no time to talk about her.

Zhen Xi came to sit next to Gan's, and quietly looked at her eldest sister lying on the bed, her delicate and delicate eyes were full of distress.

Jia Heng also looked at the beauty with the messy bun. After a night, her seductive and gorgeous face was no longer radiant and beautiful, and her whole body was full of sadness.

Jia Heng's face was as calm as a lake, but he sighed secretly, looked at Princess Jinyang and said, "His Royal Highness."

Princess Jinyang nodded, as a greeting.

At this moment, seeing Jia Heng approaching, Zhen Qing raised her head slightly, her phoenix eyes, swollen into peaches, seemed to light up, and then quickly dimmed, like flames extinguishing after beating, which undoubtedly gave people a heartache.

Facing those gloomy eyes, Jia Heng was silent for a while, and said: "It was about something about yesterday's assassination, and I wanted to ask the princess about something."

In fact, it was a little cruel to ask a mother like this, and with so many people, he actually didn't want to ask Zhen Qing like this. This time he came here because he didn't want to have more nonsense with those Jiangnan officials, and he also wanted to see Zhen Qing.

Later, people will first ask the palace guards and nuns who saw the assassination earlier.

Gan asked, "What does Uncle Yongning want to ask?"

Jia Heng explained: "Some details about the assassination of the gangsters yesterday, about how those gangsters were assassinated, and what happened to the little prince... This matter is very important, but the princess's current situation is not very good, I will find a female officer later Just come out and talk."

Zhen Qing looked at the young man fixedly at this moment, tears welled up in her wide-open beautiful eyes, and after a while, clear tears flowed silently down her cheeks.

Tears flow without words...

When Jia Heng met those bright and clear eyes, his heart was inevitably touched, and he said softly: "Princess, please express my condolences."

Zhen Xue also tightly held Zhen Qing's slightly cold hand, and said in a low voice: "Sister, let's talk about it later."

Gan advised softly: "Girl Qing, follow me home later, no matter what, there will always be someone at home to accompany you."

After all, the post house is a sad place, it is better to return to Zhen's house to live.

Zhen Qing was still crying silently.

Princess Jinyang looked at the boy in the python suit, and asked, "Uncle Yongning, what happened to the remnants of King Zhao mentioned earlier?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at the young man with questions in their eyes.

Jia Heng pondered and said: "The person behind the assassination this time is the remnants of King Zhao of the Longzhi Dynasty. He wanted to assassinate His Highness the King of Chu with resentment in his heart. They have been planning for a long time, and now Jinyi Mansion is still doing its best to investigate the case. , this matter has been reported to Beijing."

Then, after finishing speaking, Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing and met those desolate and delicate eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Princess Wuyou, Jinyi Mansion will not let the murderer go."

At this moment, Zhen Qing may need a hug from him, but he can't.

Zhen Qing met those pity eyes, and suddenly felt her nose sore, as if something was stuck in her throat, she choked up and said, "Please trouble Yongning Bo."

Why is her life so miserable?She has nothing left, nothing left...

Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing, who had bursts of grief in her eyes, and sighed softly.

After speaking, he got up, said to Princess Jinyang, and left.

Returning to the hall, the King of Chu looked sad now, but he was waiting anxiously in his heart, while the other officials from the six Jiangnan ministries had already left one after another, anxious to discuss countermeasures.

The King of Chu was restless, when he raised his eyes and saw Jia Heng coming out of the room, got up, and quickly asked, "Uncle Yongning, what did the princess say?"

Jia Heng shook his head lightly, and said: "Princess Wangfei was so sad that she didn't say anything."

Hearing this, King Chu subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and all the muscles in his body relaxed.

Yesterday he was really in a hurry and at a loss what to do.

Chun'er is his only son, how could he bear to see the death.

The princess must know this, so she thinks he didn't do it on purpose.

Jia Heng looked at King Chu's fluctuating expression, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his eyes, and said: "My lord, wait for the guards of Jinyi Mansion to ask yesterday's bystanders."

The King of Chu sighed, and said, "Ziyu, yesterday the field was in chaos, and everyone was avoiding the assassination of the thief."

At this time, Liu Jixian came in a hurry from the outside and said: "Captain, we have found out where the thief is staying, but when our people arrived, the building was already empty."

As soon as these words came out, King Chu, Liao Xian, and Feng Ci all looked at Jinyi Qianhu in amazement.

Jia Heng said: "Follow me to have a look."

Saying that, he bid farewell to the King of Chu, and then led a group of guards from the Jinyi Mansion out of the post house and returned to the yamen of Fusi in Jinyi Mansion Town.

At this moment, after stepping into the back hall, Chen Xiao greeted her with concern on her face, and asked, "How is it?"

Previously, worried that the King of Chu might recognize her, the girl did not go to the post house with Jia Heng, but waited for news in the back hall of Jinyi Mansion.

Jia Heng looked solemn, sitting on the back chair next to the coffee table, holding a cup of tea, and said softly: "What else can I do, I heard that the matter involves King Zhao, they are all panicked and silent, and then I will send someone to investigate carefully. Let’s start with where we’re staying.”

Now that Chen Yuan is running away, if he wants to find a few friends to find a needle in a haystack, unless...

Jia Heng looked at the girl with burning eyes, and asked, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you trick him out?"

"He already has doubts about me, so he can't be fooled." Chen Xiao immediately sat down, turned her face as clear as snow, and looked at the distance outside the window. It was almost noon, and the early winter sun was shining on In the courtyard, falling on the rockery, gazebo and plum tree, thoughts are flying.

In fact, the two had already fallen out before, because Chen Xiao stayed by Jia Heng's side, saying that she was hiding her identity to help gather information about the deposed prince, and Chen Yuan wanted the girl to assassinate Jia Heng, so he refused for the girl. He also said that he would use Jia Heng's power to find the heir of the deposed prince, which naturally aroused Chen Yuan's strong dissatisfaction.

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, looked at the girl, and asked, "Xiaoxiao, will he reveal your identity?"

Chen Xiaoning looked at the young man, a warm current surged deep in her heart, she pursed her pink lips, and said softly: "He still has a lot to borrow from me."

Jia Heng looked at the girl warmly, gently held that slender hand, and said in a low voice, "That's good."

Since yesterday, I feel that Xiaoxiao and his eyes have gradually had some undercurrents between men and women.

Before, it was impossible to tease her, so I still have to be more intimate.

Chen Ling subconsciously pulled her hand, a slight blush appeared on that pretty face with icy skin and smooth skin, and peace inevitably surged in her heart.
