Clear water and jade in the Red Chamber

He knelt down and covered his face, crying and hiding.

Clearly pointing fingers and cursing Huai, Jia Zheng's forehead twitched, trying to hold back his anger, and clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves.

"That's enough! You coquettish fox still has the nerve to cry, you've disturbed my princess's good mood!" Princess Zhongshun threw away the hairpin, turned around and said with a smile: "It's really embarrassing, I made adults laugh! Eh? Just now I saw that the lord seems to have something important to do, but I got in the way! The lord is going to go!"

After finishing speaking, he snorted softly and left with the girl.

Jia Zheng closed his eyes, suppressed his embarrassment and anger with great difficulty, slammed his sleeves, and strode away.

A few servants were waiting at the gate of the outer courtyard. When they saw Jia Zheng walking out quickly with an angry look on his face, they didn't dare to ask, so they hurriedly followed.After leaving Prince Zhongshun's mansion, Jia Zheng sat on the horseback, thinking all kinds of things, not willing to hand out such a large sum of money!What's more, you can't give the weapons you secretly built to Prince Zhongshun's mansion for nothing!So he turned his horse's head and went straight to Xue's big shop!

When I entered the shop and asked, the clerk only said that the chief manager had gone out, maybe he went to Rongguo Mansion to report to his wife.Jia Zhengfang turned his head and hurried back to the mansion. As soon as he entered Ningrong Street, he saw from a distance that the front of the Rong Mansion was surrounded by soldiers, and the people gathered there to watch the excitement. tightly!

Recently, Jia's mansion is like a big stage, there are free shows every day, and there are some farces, if you don't come to watch the fun, you will feel sorry for his family!Today, the soldiers suddenly came to the door, and they must be having fun. They all stretched their necks and looked in while commenting.

Jia Zheng hurriedly told the boy to get out of the passage, and Fang stepped in.Just about to enter the door, but was stopped by soldiers.

"Hey! This is Mr. Zheng, don't be rude! Mr. Zheng, you should be polite!" A general in armor came over and clasped his fists. Judging by his official uniform, he should be a rank-[-] military officer.

"This is..." Suddenly, Jia Zheng couldn't remember.

"Oh, this officer is the new Deputy Commander of the Army and Horse Division, Han Zhong. Following the order of Master Mo Lan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he followed Song Xingchen and the Song Army to arrest the members of the Xue family! Please forgive me for the impoliteness!" He said, Han Zhong clasped his hands together.

"Everywhere, it's all official business... How can the case of the eldest son of the Xue family be so involved?" Jia Zheng was very puzzled. Even if ten people were killed, the whole family would not be arrested. Why did he suddenly come to the door?

"It was just a murder case that was sent back for retrial..." Han Zhong put on a gesture of whispering, but his voice was not lowered at all: "Only someone reported that the eldest son of the Xue family was involved in smuggling, and it is very likely that it was a weapon! Shuntian Mansion How dare you try it privately and submit it directly to Dali Temple! Now that the minister of Dali Temple is getting old, he seldom intervenes in the case in person, Mr. Mo has the full power to decide, and he will report to the emperor immediately, no, even a search will be brought to arrest people!"

"Did you hear that, did you hear that! The Xue family smuggled weapons, thinking they wanted to rebel!" The people with sharp ears heard the general idea and hurriedly spread the word.

"The official just now said that the Xue family smuggled weapons and armor, intending to rebel!"

"Xue's treasury is full of weapons and armor, and the shops are just a cover, there must be accomplices!"

"The Xue family is forming a clique for selfish purposes, intending to rebel, and if they don't make it right, they will use that shameless Miss Xue to buy people's hearts with their lust!"

"Xue Pan intends to overthrow the Shui family, and he uses his sister to draw erotic pictures, in order to please those accomplices!"

"The Xue family..."

……

If you say how much money can be made by talking about it, and how much money can be destroyed, before the person is taken away, everyone is talking about it, and it is almost confirmed that Xue's family is planning to plot rebellion!

Jia Zheng's head buzzed, it's getting bigger!Hastily clasped his hands together, and hurried straight to the inner courtyard.

"Second Uncle, why did you come back!" Jia Zhen greeted her from the gate of the yard, and said urgently in a low voice, "Something has happened! The old lady was broken in the head by that girl of Xue's family with a glazed lamp. Fortunately, she was rescued in time, but Still in a coma! I just happened to be bumped into by Song Xingchen, and I couldn't hide it even if I tried...I'm going to order someone to find you, Second Uncle!"

"Why is there such a thing! Go, go!" Jia Zheng was dumbfounded, that Xue Baochai really dared to eat ambition! "By the way, ask people to follow the searcher to see what has been copied!" If it's a weapon, it's really over!

"I'm not quite sure, Song Xingchen just went in not long ago! I left Rong'er to listen, and I'll come out first!" Jia Zhen said as she walked, "I've asked someone to follow me to see it, second uncle don't worry!"

The two rushed to Jia Mu's room in a hurry, and saw Jia Mu on the couch, her eyes closed tightly, a wound on her forehead had been smeared with incense ash to stop the bleeding, and most of her face was black and blue. The bloodstains had not yet completely turned black and dried up, a creepy dark red.

Song Xingchen sat on the side, a few soldiers held swords in their hands, guarded the mandarin ducks who were kneeling and crying together, and Xue Baochai, who was supporting Aunt Xue. .Jia Rong and Jia Qiang hurriedly got up to salute when they saw Jia Zheng coming in. Jia Amnesty just moved his eyes and didn't speak.The female relatives who came to visit had already entered the shelter through the back door.

"Mr. Zheng." Song Xingchen cupped his fists and said, "Please forgive Song for being rude. Song was originally ordered by the emperor to arrest members of the Xue family. He didn't want to go into the courtyard, so he heard someone calling for help in the old lady's room. The situation is urgent and inappropriate. I hope Zhenggong Haihan is here!" Indeed, he heard the sound and broke into the house, only to see two maids fighting for something, and next to him was a woman with a bloody nose and mouth and a swollen head.

"Where is there!" Jia Zheng hurriedly returned the salute: "I want to thank the general for saving my mother!" Then he apologized a little, went to see Jia Mu's bed first, sighed deeply, turned around, and saw kneeling there Mother and daughter Xue Baochai!Suddenly, the anger I received during the day rushed to the top of my head! "Bitch!" He raised his hand and slapped Xue Baochai, who staggered and fell to the ground.

Song Xingchen seemed a little dissatisfied, and several soldiers stepped forward to stop Jia Zheng, who was about to fight again.

"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Song is questioning. If you find anything, you should report it to the Holy Spirit!" Song Xingchen raised his hands and cupped his fists: "Mr. Zheng will be called a trick of torture by those who are interested in doing this!"

"General Song, I'm short of breath for a while, and I still look forward to the general's Haihan!" Jia Zhengqiang said through gritted teeth, and sat aside with his robe lifted.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to interrogate the old lady of the Jia family!" Xue Baochai knelt up straight.

"Why do you want to be cruel to Lao Gaoming next time! Why don't you call it quickly!" Song Xingchen shouted.

"My lord, my brother's case has been uncovered, because Jia Zheng entrusted Jia Yucun to cover it up last year, and my mother wants to turn to the Jia family for help this time!" Baochai spoke bluntly, without evasiveness, listening It's unnatural for the Jia family to be a man.

"Since you are asking for help, how can you kill the killer? Could it be that the old man refused to help, and your mother and daughter became angry because of this?" Song Xingchen glanced at Jia Zheng, his eyes were indifferent.

"Help! How could she not help!" Xue Baochai said with a stern smile, "But it is clear that my Xue family will take all the family property in exchange for my brother's life!"

"This..." Song Xingchen couldn't help being stunned, if it was true, it would be too cruel! :"then?"

"Of course my mother refused, so she wanted to leave the Jia family to find her uncle Wang Ziteng. The old lady of the Jia family said that the Xue family lived here for a year and had to pay 3605 million taels of silver. !" Xue Baochai wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her hand, and calmly said, "I hit her, but I just paid her back!"

"It's a bunch of nonsense!" Jia Zheng's face was so hot that he almost boiled an egg!She scolded at the exit: "Shameless whore, she slanders people with such indiscriminate means! It must be the old lady who refused to do favoritism for you, so she was murdered! What a cumbersome mansion of the Jia family, and the gate of loyalty, how can it be done?" Picture your Xue family!"

"Mr. Zheng, if you bother me to ask questions again, I can only ask Mr. Zheng to sit out!" Song Xingchen lost his face, very dissatisfied, and asked Yuanyang: "You girls, what Xue Baochai said is the truth!"

"No! It's not the truth!" Yuanyang flustered for a while, and with Jia Zheng around, she didn't dare to excuse Jia's mother, and hurriedly made up: "The mother and daughter of the Xue family begged the old lady to save Xue Pan. The old lady is an upright person. , how could she respond to such a thing, so she refused. Mrs. Xue's family was furious, and even wanted to beat someone when she spoke rudely, so...the old lady ordered the slaves and servants to be slightly punished..."

"Slight punishment?" Song Xingchen raised his eyes to look at Aunt Xue's miserable appearance: "It's a bit of a misnomer to say it's a light punishment..."

"Your Excellency!" Xue Baochai said, "If she fabricated a false statement to deceive Your Excellency, what crime would it be?"

"Bold! Little business girl, dare to question your lord!" a soldier shouted.

"Nothing..." Song Xingchen stretched out his hand and stopped: "I want to see how confident she is! Listen carefully, I came to Jia's mansion as an imperial envoy. If there is even the slightest deception, it will be a serious crime of beheading! Head, do you understand?"

"My little girl understands!" Xue Baochai kowtowed respectfully, took out the ball of proof from his arms and unfolded it: "Here is the evidence!" Then he smiled at Jia Zheng: "I, Xue Baochai, am I a brainless person! God has eyes, Mr. Song happened to be right, and these hateful girls didn't have time to snatch them away!"

Jia Zheng didn't know what it was, but he saw Yuanyang get up suddenly, reach out and go straight to the piece of paper.The soldier grabbed Yuanyang's hair without any mercy, only to hear Yuanyang scream, and fell to the ground, a little of her hair was torn off, and she lay down crying, covering her head with her hands.

"This is..." Song Xingchen took the paper, looked it up and down, and frowned deeply: "It seems that we really need to review it!"

"My lord, this was written under the behest of Mrs. Jia, and it is the original work of this daring mandarin duck girl!" Baochai pointed at the mandarin duck.

Jia Zheng was eager to know what was written on the paper.But Song Xingchen didn't say anything,
