"Holy Father" Jia She of the Red Chamber

"Please tell me clearly, how many people are needed for this elixir of immortality?" Situ Xi looked at the monster kneeling in front of him, very angry: "Now everyone outside says that I am a foolish king and a tyrant. If you can't make it in the end Alright, this elixir, I'll skin you alive."

Daoist Miao Miao shook his body, and subconsciously looked at his former fellow Taoist, now the skinned and torped Dao Miao Miao, and then trembled even more: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this pill needs Jinling Twelve hairpins are the guide, and I have prepared all the other medicinal materials, so it will be absolutely safe."

Situ Xi panted and looked at the real Miaomiao, and asked Dai Quan: "Have you found him?"

"I found it. It's exactly the same as what the Taoist priest said. He was an official, and he started cultivation at the age of three, and his birthday and age are also suitable. He has already been sent to the palace." Dai Quan replied respectfully.

After hearing this, Situ Xi finally felt a little better: "Okay, okay, since the most difficult thing to find has been found, then bring the rest into the palace, but get ready," he said, turning his head to the sky and screaming a few times : "When I really live forever, this Daqing world will definitely live forever."

Dai Quan raised his eyes and took a peek at Situ Xi, then went down and ordered someone to bring the rest of them. Among the people given by Master Miaomiao, there was only one Taoist girl named Miaoyu who was the hardest to find. The Xuantomb Tanxiang Temple was in Suzhou. It will take time to go back and forth even if it is fast, so all the so-called Jinling Twelve Beauties needed were not brought to the palace at the beginning.

As far as Dai Quan knew, one of the twelve beauties was still a milk doll, and using the milk doll to make alchemy would definitely cause even greater complaints, so the emperor will rest assured.

But now, Dai Quan sighed, all the hardest ones were found, and the rest were not too difficult. I can't wait to see the emperor.

The emperor ordered that someone would naturally do it, and immediately the palace guards would go out and bring the rest of the people into the palace.

But encountered twists and turns in Li Shangshu Mansion.

A group of guards looked helplessly at Jia Baoyu, who was sitting in a wheelchair and tightly holding the baby girl.

"Lord Jia, look, do you want Mr. Jia to hand over the person to us first, the emperor wants him, and we can't resist." The head of the guard happened to be Luo Yun who had some friendship with Jia She.

Jia She looked at the excited Jia Baoyu, and then looked at Luo Yun, feeling a little depressed: "This is to let the Jia family's daughter die, Master Luo thinks what can I do?" After finishing speaking, He sighed and looked at Jia Yingchun, who was already standing among the guards, wearing a veil; "It's because I'm useless as a father that I let my daughter die."

"Lord Jia." Luo Yun was also very sad, the current emperor is totally different from the wise emperor before, this immortality pill is not so easy to refine, even if it is refined, will the emperor dare to eat it?If you are looking for someone to eat first, you will naturally have to observe for a few years, then do you want to find someone who is old or young, male or female?The most troublesome thing is, what if there is only one elixir refined in the end?How does the emperor eat it? Could it be that there are other people who can use it to make alchemy? If this is the case, does it mean that people in the world may be taken by the emperor to make alchemy at any time? Who would dare to live in such a life.

Jia Amnesty looked at the excited Jia Baoyu, struggling helplessly: "I just don't have the courage of my nephew, otherwise, I might be able to save my own daughter."

Outside the door, there was Madam Xing's crying voice: "My daughter, my daughter."

Jia She frowned and ordered: "Take someone to send Madam back quickly."

Immediately, people went out again, and then Madam Xing's struggling voice came again: "Let me go, let me go, my daughter is going to die, why are you dragging me? Master, master, you can't do this, then It's our daughter, even if she is not my own, I still feel pain as if she is my own, please save our daughter, save our daughter."

With a painful expression on his face, Jia She scolded: "Hurry up and send Madam back."

Jia Yingchun had already covered her face with a handkerchief, and began to cry in a low voice. Her father had already sent her away to avoid disaster, but she was brought back by the emperor's people. She looked up at Jia She's back, and suddenly felt that her father Her back was depressed a lot, she actually wanted to say: Father, my daughter is not afraid, you let her go, she can help you.

This situation made the guards' eyes red.

Mrs. Xing outside the door began to scold: "Jia She, you shrink your head, you are not a man, Jia Baoyu dared to protect my sister, but you only dared to submissively watch Yingchun die, are you not A man, not a man."

The voice became smaller and smaller, obviously Mrs. Xing was pulled back by someone.

Jia Amnesty's body began to tremble, and when he met Jia Baoyu's red eyes, the look of struggle became more obvious.

Jia Baoyu looked at the person opposite, as if looking at an enemy, he hugged his sister tightly, even if he hugged her in pain, struggling and crying in his arms, he did not let go: "The emperor wants Taking such a young child to make alchemy is simply disregarding the laws of heaven. I don't care. If you dare to take my sister away by force today, I will kill her right now. I don't believe that the emperor can use dead people to make alchemy. When the time comes, None of you can escape."

This is simply a weapon of fear, Luo Yun is extremely helpless: "Lord Jia, the emperor's order must not be violated."

Panting heavily, Jia She looked at Jia Baoyu, and finally looked at Luo Yun with red eyes: "Master Luo, I will enter the palace with you."

"Father." Yingchun shouted anxiously.

Jia She turned his head and looked at Yingchun with a loving face: "Father is useless, he can't protect you well, so he can only fight one last time. Even Baoyu is tough, so father can't be weak."

Jia Yingchun stared at Jia Amnesty, and finally bowed her knees and bowed: "The natural disaster is here, father don't need to worry about it, my daughter is very grateful to father."

Jia She looked at Luo Yun again: "I will bring them into the palace together, you know my ability, maybe I can really persuade the emperor."

Luo Yun has seen Jia She's eloquence, not only Luo Yun, but also many of the guards who were in the paddock camp that day. She is even more sympathetic, this is not a natural disaster, it is clearly a disaster for the emperor.

Finally, as a last resort, Jia Amnesty, Jia Yingchun, and Jia Baoyu, who was holding the girl in his arms, were all brought into the palace.

After Situ Xi learned about the affairs of Li Shangshu's mansion, he was furious: "Jia Amnesty is so bold that he dares to block my way of longevity. His heart can be punished, and his unity can be punished."

"But now that sister is tightly hugged in Jia Baoyu's arms, and Jia Baoyu even said that if the emperor dared to use that sister to make alchemy, he would kill her right away. Your majesty, look... "Dai Quan explained.

"He dares."

"emperor."

Situ Xi glanced at Dai Quan, then flicked his sleeves: "Let's go, let's go and read this so-called Li Shang Shu."

When Jia Amnesty saw Situ Xi, he immediately knelt down to salute, but Jia Baoyu who was at the side didn't salute because he was holding his sister in his arms and he was sitting in a wheelchair.

Just as Dai Quan wanted to reprimand him, Situ Xi stopped him.

Situ Xi looked at Jia She, and said, "Li Shangshu, I heard that you want to come to persuade me, why don't you come sooner or later, now it's your daughter's turn to come, it seems that your good reputation is also a waste Fake name."

In the past few days, people have been submitting papers every day, and several old censors have directly admonished him in the Jinluan Hall. They have never seen this Jia Amnesty appear. For the people, it is just a person who seeks fame and reputation.

Jia Amnesty lowered his head: "Minister, I'm afraid."

"You, Jia Amnesty, are also afraid. I thought you were not afraid of anything? Since you are afraid, please obediently go back to your Lishangshu Mansion, and don't come out to embarrass yourself."

Jia Amnesty did not move, but lowered his head and continued to speak: "I am afraid, but I am even more afraid of seeing my daughter being thrown into the alchemy furnace and being burned by the fire. The pain is unbearable, not to mention that girl Yingchun, a delicate woman, is going to be thrown into the sea of ​​fire? Your majesty, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much that I can't bear to think about it, as long as I think of my daughter I won't be afraid of the kind of pain I'm about to suffer," he raised his head, with fear in his eyes, and even more strength: "Your Majesty, the injury is on my body, and the pain is on my heart."

In a daze, Situ Xi seemed to see Situ Reng when he was still young, a little person, when he saw him appear, he ran towards him staggeringly, and if he accidentally fell, he would feel so much pain.

When Situ Xi saw Jia She's eyes, he didn't want to be so angry at first.

Jia She continued: "Your Majesty, there is no one in this world who can watch their children die, and there is no one who can watch their children die without being indifferent, so," he kowtowed to Situ Xi: "Your Majesty , please spare the little girl."

Situ Xi stared fixedly at Jia She for a long time, his eyes wandered for a moment, and he suddenly sneered and said, "Jia She, why do you only plead for your own daughter but not for other women? Are the other daughters not human?" After finishing speaking, he twitched his brows: "That's right, the second wife hurt you a lot, so you don't mind at all if their daughter dies, I was really almost killed by you. The love between father and daughter has been deceived."

"Your Majesty..." Jia She looked at Situ Xi excitedly, "Without my daughter, can this pill still be refined?"

"This..." Situ Xi was speechless.

"Since it can't be refined, then the minister also begged other women."

After Situ Xi spoke in silence, he became even more angry: "Jia Amnesty, you dare to stop my path to immortality, you are so bold."

Jia She looked at Situ Xi with piercing eyes, with a determined face: "Dare to ask the emperor, how many people are needed to refine the elixir of immortality?"

"12 people."

Jia She's heart skipped a beat: "Who are they all?"

Situ Xi looked at Jia She, it was rare to see Jia She's uncompromising side, he sneered in his heart: "Dai Quan, tell me."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Dai Quan nodded and received the decree: "What the Taoist priest said, the medicine needed for this elixir of life is cited as Jinling Twelve Beauties, namely: Daiyu from the Lin family, Baochai from the Xue family, Yuanchun from the Jia family, and Tan from the Jia family. Chun, Shijia Xiangyun, Daoist Miaoyu, Jia Jia Yingchun, Jia Jia Xichun, Jia's Li Wan, Qin Jia Keqing, Jia Jia's sister." Dai Quan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Jia Wang's Xifeng."

Jia She said with a smile: "This Wang Xifeng was exiled to death on the road long ago for charges of usury and other crimes. Your Majesty, the Jinling Twelve Beauties never existed from the very beginning, and the elixir of immortality could not be made from the very beginning. Whether this elixir is real or not, the person who refines it alone is not credible. According to Miaomiao Daoist, he is not only a monster, but also has enmity with the Jia family and his ministers. Otherwise, why is the person who used the medicine to attract Almost all of them are the daughters of the Jia family, Your Majesty, this monster is using you to deal with the humble officials and the Jia family."

Situ Xi frowned, and looked at Dai Quan sharply: "What's going on? Didn't you say you found them all?"

Dai Quan hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die. This Wang Xifeng is indeed the same as Mr. Jia said. He has died on the road to exile, but," he glanced at Jia She, and said: "At that time, the slave sent this I told the Taoist priest about it, and the Taoist priest said it would not be a problem, but now it seems that there may be someone who has already left to replace him."

"What nonsense are you eunuch talking about?" Jia Baoyu looked at the situation, and became anxious again: "This can't be made into medicine anymore, and you want to make wind and rain, it is simply unreasonable."

"I am the Son of Heaven, and the principles I speak of are the principles of heaven," Situ Xi scolded, and looked at Dai Quan: "Did you say who will replace it?"

Dai Quan lowered his head: "The priest didn't say anything, but the servant thought that most of the people who were attracted by this medicine were from the Jia family, and that Wang Xifeng was also Jia's wife, so the person who wanted to come here to replace her should also be from the Jia family. Think again. All the people the Taoist priest wants have extraordinary birthdays, and the servant thought of one person," Dai Quan glanced at Jia Baoyu and continued: "If you want to say that the most extraordinary person in the Jia family is the one in front of you, of course. Jia Baoyu was born from jade."

Jia Baoyu's eyes widened and he said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? This medicine concocter wants women."

Dai Quan did not answer, but explained: "It is said that it is the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, but the slaves know that Jia Baoyu has always been the phoenix egg of the Rongguo Mansion before being copied, the most precious, and has been hanging around in the Rongguo Mansion all day long. Among girls who are fat and pink, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "hairpin" who is not good at reading but likes to adjust fat and make powder."

Situ Xi narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "Take both of them out for me."

This is to keep my sister and Jia Baoyu together, and see if it will be used for refining medicine.

The guards immediately stepped forward when they heard the words, Jia Baoyu was sitting in a wheelchair, he looked like a cripple, naturally he couldn't struggle, the fact that he was able to compete with others in the Lishangshu Mansion before was just because Luo Yun, the leader of the team, looked at Jia She's face.

Now that the emperor issued an order, whoever dares to disobey will subdue Jia Baoyu in a few strokes.

Two guards carried Jia Baoyu and left, and another guard carried her sister.

Jia Baoyu yelled: "Let go of me, let me go, you stupid lord, you stupid lord."

"Your Majesty," Jia Amnesty was also shocked, took a few steps forward, kowtowed and said, "Please let the Jia family go."

"However, I don't pay much attention to a mere Jia family," Situ Xi sneered, "The Jia family is no longer popular, and it is your honor to make contributions to me. This time, I will only look at Jia Daishan's face." , forgive you once, you go down."

"Your majesty, if you don't agree, I will die here today." Jia Amnesty looked up at Situ Xi, and went to die with generosity on his face.

"Okay, I will fulfill you."
