Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

Even if he thinks about this story in his heart, he thinks that Sister Langyuan Fairy Palin is his mother.

His mother, Niu Lin, was envied by many people in this era.

Although he was an orphan, he lived in his aunt's house, but with the great stability of the world, his uncle won the Duke of Zhenguo, returned to his hometown in fine clothes, and took his wife back to the capital.The Lin family also moved in with Beijing, and became the eldest lady of gold and jade.And because of the friendship between her childhood sweethearts and cousins, within a few years, Mrs. Lin transformed into the head young mistress of the Zhen Guogong Mansion.After marriage, her cousin and her husband treated her with love and trust.

Even though the two had been married for many years without getting pregnant, the old lady who was both an aunt and a mother-in-law didn't make any fuss about marrying a concubine for her son.

Everything was fine, and after ten years of marriage, they finally conceived.Therefore, his name is very straightforward-Niu Jizong: the Niu family has successors, and the incense has inheritance.

It seems that the days are getting better and better, but Lin's mother has committed a "petty temper".

Niu Jizong still finds it a little unbelievable when he thinks about it.For the sake of an illusory and unrealistic character, his mother would ignore the life-threatening friendship between Niu and Jia's parents on the battlefield, and the relationship between the four princes and eight males who have watched and supported each other for many years, thinking of teaching Jia a lesson, and even more Ignoring Jia Zhen was abducted.

At that time, the Dali Temple who came to investigate the words were euphemistic, but they blushed when they heard it-"Yomo's guards were afraid that the female relatives would be disturbed and frightened by the refugees, so they drove them away."

It turned out that when Jia Zhen found out that she was being kidnapped and was struggling to call for help, the motorcade from Zhen Guogong's mansion to Shangxiang passed by.As far as Jia Zhen's temperament is like a little crab, not to mention that the yamen hasn't said what they have investigated from other places, but they can think of it-"I am Uncle Jia Jiazhen, and my grandfather is Jia Daihua, the Jiedu envoy of the capital! My uncle is Grand Marshal of Conquering Bandits!"

Knowing this, Duke Zhen, his grandfather was completely angry for the first time, and escorted his son to Jia's house to apologize and help find someone.The old lady was also startled, not to mention the friendship between the two families, if not, Jia Zhen, as an ordinary child, didn't have any compassion?Of course, even more importantly, even if the old lady feels pity for the only blood relative of her natal family, she dare not use the bit of chaff to work hard for the Niu family to raise children against the furious old Duke and his husband's psychological comrade-in-arms —On the battlefield, you save me, I save you, and help each other. There are only a few survivors who are still alive.Therefore, Lin was advised to bow his head and admit his mistake, even if he went along, he could explain that he misunderstood Jia Zhen as being mischievous with the "guard".

Lin was wronged because of this, wronged that her husband was beaten by her father-in-law, wronged that her husband abandoned the family and children, went out to help find a "crawler, ashes" scum, wronged that everything she knew could not be said to others.

In the end, Mrs. Lin died of depression. Before leaving, she took his son and talked about the love and marriage that he thought was loyal, but the concubine also had a room. He talked about "Dream of Red Mansions" and talked about Sister Lin, talking about that strange world - equality between men and women, freedom and human rights, socialism is good.

Then, there is no more.

In this day and age, where filial piety is the norm, he can only obediently wait for the sick, and listen to ghost stories from "Liao Zhai", otherwise he feels that many things in his mother's words are illogical.For example, in the so-called love, the male protagonist Jia Baoyu is worse than many romantic children of aristocratic families nowadays. It's fine if he is a double, and he doesn't even have basic responsibility. What's more amazing is that he was born with jade, and the royal family didn't respond.The ancestors of the Jia family must have committed some evil, all the immortals have gone to his house, even the maids have their own abilities.

After listening to the story and keeping his filial piety for three years, he realized that he still wanted to play with Jia She, and was willing to play with Jia Zhen.

Of course, there was one thing he was very grateful to his mother for.

At least, he knows that the sea is full of opportunities and challenges.

Seeing Niu Jizong's sad face, Emperor Taixing didn't care about being questioned, took a sip of tea, and replied: "The Jia family is fine, but it's troublesome to trace some clues in this case."

Although the old lady in the Ning Mansion had a bit more knowledge and vision than other peasant women, she was also from a poor official family.I search for books, calligraphy and paintings by myself, and I don't know what is real or expensive or what imitation is, only for the word of fame.Thanks to the initial era of the world, no one dares to fool the imperial edict of Super Grade.

In this way, the old lady of the Ning Mansion bought and bought "Style Architectural Illustrations" from a down-and-out scholar.The filing column of Ningfu's bills also reads: "Buy "Spring Outing" and so on. The architectural paintings in it are good, and I will keep my children and grandchildren as a reference for building a house."

Seeing this line of writing, Dali Temple almost burst into tears.

Hearing this, Niu Jizong frowned, and wanted to ask another question, but when he raised his eyes and saw Emperor Taixing's kind face, he stopped talking suddenly, and lowered his head: "Your subordinate, Meng Lang, did not return to you?" I hope the emperor will punish you."

"It's okay, it's okay." Taixing Emperor waved his hand, and teased himself bitterly: "Compared to my gang of evildoers, Maverick, I can't even find words to describe how you are. Let's go and rest for a while. Others Let’s talk about it after you recharge your batteries.”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Taixing's eyes twinkled, with a rare hint of guilty conscience.After all, he called people back in advance because he wanted to pack a group of evildoers and send them out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Here Niu Jizong bid farewell to Emperor Taixing and went back to Zhen Guogong's mansion, while on the other side Jia Amnesty boasted that he was a good investment and financial manager, and drank water with dry mouth.

Under the rising sun, Jia She's upturned side face had a warm luster, like a jade beauty carved from high-quality mutton fat jade.

Cui Yu's eyes darkened, and he said, "Drink slowly, don't choke."

"Yeah!" Jia She nodded, wiped the water with a handkerchief, and asked about the main destination of the trip.Even if he believes that Cui Yu is considerate, but with his temperament that he can't wait to indulge in official duties all day, the reason to go out to collect food is definitely not a random one.

"Go to Wuqing County to have a look." Cui Yu replied: "This county is the most impoverished in Shuntian Mansion, and it suffered from disasters before."

"Then let's go to Wang'er Village to see the old lady Lu, okay?" Jia She asked after hearing this, and then whispered to Cui Yu: "Those two old people have a little grandson, and they have such a hard life." , I invite them to live in the city, but I'm not happy."

Thanks to Mrs. Lu's call, he avoided the shit pot.

Even though he was busy investigating at that time, he was still very grateful to his savior, and even traveled across the mountains and mountains to come to the door to thank him.I wanted to invite the old man to come to the city to enjoy a blessing and arrange a job for the little grandson, but unexpectedly the old man declined, saying that although they are poorer, they are also reasonable, and they should work hard to repay.

Hearing this, Cui Yu responded with a smile: "This is as it should be."

Since there was an extra itinerary, Jia She thought about the [-]th bend of the mountain road, and in order to return to the inner city before closing the city gate, he immediately stopped chatting with Cui Yu and whipped the little donkey.

"...Although it's hard to talk nonsense if you have to hurry, Master Cui, I still want to ask, can I apply for riding a horse?" Jia Amnesty glanced at his car, feeling like he was about to burst into tears.Take a look at your own bamboo horse, that sits on a good horse, and that team is majestic.On the other hand, looking at my own team, there are only two words-poor.

Cui Yu said concisely: "No!"

Jia Amnesty: "..."

A group of people hurried on the road for nearly three hours, and arrived in Wuqing County after noon.

As soon as he entered the county, Jia She rubbed and sang Wu Zang Temple's belly, looked at Cui Yu, and the implied meaning was self-evident—I want to eat!

Cui Yu laughed when he saw this: "I don't look very human? I've been here once before. The best restaurant in this county is Shicooking Restaurant. Let's go."

While talking, he led Jia Amnesty to go.

Since Jia Amnesty and his party were all wearing official robes, they went to the county government office vigilantly and reported to Wuqing county magistrate.

The county magistrate of Wuqing County is surnamed Yu, and has served as magistrate for six consecutive years.Although he was not born in the imperial examination, he is a county in the territory under the foot of the emperor, which is still somewhat related.

But this relationship is not enough to look at in front of Cui Yu, let alone Jia Amnesty.The locust plague could not be suppressed before, and there was an old woman in his jurisdiction who was lucky enough to save Jia She's life.According to the etiquette, Jia's family sent some food and drink to Mrs. Lu's family from time to time.What if the servants of the Jia family found out one or two clues, or the Lu family directly reported to Jia Amnesty, what should I do?

For the sake of his own black hat, Yu Zhixian reported to Shuntian Mansion.Unexpectedly, Cui Yu brought people here overnight.After finally suppressing the plague of locusts and successfully planting new jade and wheat, I thought that Qingtian and his party would be sent away.As a result, these two came together!

The more Yu Zhixian thought about it, the more panicked he became, so he hurriedly took the yamen servants with him.

Meanwhile, Jia She is trying to ignore the kid at the door.The child looked about seven or eight years old, his face was yellow and thin, and he seemed to have only a skeleton left, his hair was messed up like a straw shed, his nose was buzzing, and he was wiping with a torn sleeve that didn't show any wink, but his eyes were It was bright and swishing, staring at the food on their table like a hungry wolf.

The accompanying arrester just got up with two steamed buns and planned to "persuade" him to leave.It's one thing for them adults to be kind, but they also love beauty, and now that it's past meal time, they are all hungry. With such eyes staring behind them, who can eat?

The shopkeeper here also noticed this scene with sharp eyes and hurriedly came to apologize, "My lords, the grass people should be damned, it's shocking, I will drive them away..."

"Yeah." Jia She took a deep breath: "It's okay, don't die, I'll ask Xiao Wang to bring a bowl of porridge and a few steamed buns first, and let Xiaoer make egg custard, and then give it to me." He washes up."

"My lord, you have a kind heart." The shopkeeper's expression changed when he heard that, and he complimented him with a smile.

"Looking at the appearance of the shopkeeper, there seems to be something hidden?" Cui Yu asked.

As soon as these words were said, the shopkeeper's expression became more and more flustered, and he smiled awkwardly: "No."

Jia Amnesty was so angry that he put his chopsticks down and patted the table: "It's too late for people to eat. If you don't tell me, I'll take it for you!"

It doesn't matter if the food is unpalatable, he now knows that it's not good to be picky eaters.

As a result, after just two bites, I saw a little beggar.

He showed kindness, and it seemed that there could be a story involved.

The yamen servants responded in unison: "Yes!"

Cui Yu glanced coldly at the shopkeeper, then raised his eyes at the yamen servant, motioning to take the little beggar down first.

"This..." Looking at the arresters who drew their knives, the shopkeeper trembled with fright, swallowed nervously, and looked around. Rao, it's past meal time, and the only thing in front of him is empty in the lobby. All the officials, but when the shopkeeper said it, he always felt that someone was staring behind him, and he shuddered.

After suppressing his voice, the shopkeeper said in a low voice, "That...that is a famous devil in this county."

"What thing?" Jia Amnesty was puzzled.

"The woman who was pregnant with Liujia died and gave birth to a child through cesarean section." Cui Yu explained.

"Uh..." Jia Amnesty was stunned for a moment, and quickly stopped reading the legend in his mind, and said awkwardly: "Then...then he doesn't have a family? Doesn't this county health care hall take him in?" Compared with the old rule, it was not set up at the provincial level, but it was also ordered that health care halls be set up at the county level and above, to respect the elderly and the sick.

"My lord..." The shopkeeper vaguely skipped the question of the Yangshengtang, his voice became lower, and he whispered: "Everyone says that this family is retribution. His father and mother did all the dirty things of digging up people's ancestral graves to make money from death. so……"

"For the shopkeeper, you can't talk nonsense." Cui Yu's expression became solemn.

"Where are you talking nonsense? The whole area of ​​Wang'er Township is doing this. Back then, I was old and couldn't live anymore, so I didn't care about whether the gods punished me or not."

Jia Amnesty was stunned: "Wang'er Township? Is it the prosperous Wang?"

"Originally, it was prosperous. It is said that there was a tomb robber boss there. I heard that he was the patriarch. He was very powerful. Then he led the whole village and the whole country to fight for a living. Gradually, the place was condemned by heaven." The shopkeeper was mysterious. : "It becomes the hope of looking forward to the child's return!"

Jia Amnesty: "..."

Cui Yu was also shocked when he heard this.He has read all the "Shuntian Mansion Chronicles", but there is no record in this regard.And whether this is a coincidence or not, we have to pay attention to it.

Looking back at Jia Amnesty, who was stunned, Cui Yu asked a few more words in a deep voice, and then looked at Yu Zhixian, who came hurriedly, with a serious tone, "Master Yu, during the next tax collection period, this official and Jia My lord will go around in low clothes. If there are frauds in the area under your jurisdiction, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"That's right!" Jia Amnesty echoed heavily.

"Please rest assured, my lords, there is absolutely nothing false about the lower officials." Yu Zhixian hurriedly wiped off his sweat.

"Ah."

Cui Yu responded lightly, and after Jia She finished his meal, the group went to the Wuxing County Yamen first.

Looking at the local household registration numbers, Cui Yu slowly asked about Wang'er Township.

Yu Zhixian's legs went limp immediately.He is also related, so naturally he has better ears and eyes, knowing that the Ning Mansion was robbed by a tomb robber!

"Back... back to my lord, although Wang'er Township was indeed a bit of a place where there were some thieves and robbers before, it is said that because of a fight, it was a crime, and then it was torn apart. Basically, the young and strong in the village died, and now there are only a few widows and old people left keep..."

At the same time, Staff Yu quietly looked at Jia Jing with a book in his hand.

Jia Jing was slightly puzzled, and asked kindly: "Mr. Yu, has there ever been something on Pindao's face?"

"This..." Staff Yu opened his mouth, but finally made up his mind, and said, "I was invited to sort out the books related to the Ning Mansion. Although I temporarily sealed some boxes due to the needs of handling the case, I will sort out the rest of the boxes. some."

"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Jia Jing hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully.This... this is a military strategist, and he... the only one in his family who is ignorant is a blessing.

"You... this..." Staff Yu looked at Jia Jing and took a deep breath: "Have you ever heard of Hongyan passing on a letter?"

Jia Jing glanced at Yu's staff.

Staff member Yu lowered his eyes, and handed over the book in his hand: "The first thing that was copied from the house's account books was the Wen family's stuff, and then the heirloom volume. There is a bookmark in it... cough cough, I It is suspected that there are still letters left outside, and I am afraid that they have been known."

Jia Jing couldn't help cursing: "Damn!"
