The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

The man with the black veil sneered and did not answer.

Heng Jun's sharp gaze immediately shot over, reminding him in a dark tone, "I'm talking to you."

"Don't forget my identity, you don't have the right to tell me what to do." The man in black gauze also spoke sharply, looking straight at Heng Jun without fear.

Heng Jun looked at him with a sullen face, and the atmosphere in the room froze instantly.

The man in black gauze was not at all afraid of Heng Jun's intimidating aura, his eyes were cold and calm, and he looked calm.

Heng Jun burst out laughing suddenly, got up and walked to the man in black gauze, bowed slightly to look at him, and clapped his hands repeatedly.

"Very well, you should have such an aura, otherwise how can you dominate the Great Zhou. This is a good opportunity for you to display your ambitions and revenge. Don't miss it. To become a king, defeat is death, You have no way out, so you should try your best to fight, and it is not in vain for me to take care of you for so long." At the end of Heng Jun's words, his face became fierce, and his whole body was full of bloodthirsty and murderous aura.

The man in black gauze took the lead to look away, and said in a tone of reluctance: "I know."

Heng Jun's face immediately changed from cloudy to sunny, with a gentle face and a bright smile.He glanced sideways at the window closed by the man in black veil, rolled his eyes, and said to him, "You seem to be very interested in Jia Enhou."

"The matter of Liuzhou depends entirely on him." The man in black gauze replied succinctly.

Heng Jun responded, and asked him again: "Have you gone to the Yafeng Pavilion? Does he recognize you?"

The man in black gauze let out a confident snort, "Naturally."

Hearing the news, Heng Jun nodded in satisfaction, and asked him, "Have you tried Song Mulin?"

"He is not easy to provoke, wait for the opportunity, don't be reckless." The black-veiled man raised his eyes, his eyes were cloudy, "I have my own sense of proportion, you worry too much."

Heng Jun was startled, and pointed to the man in black gauze.

He was slightly dissatisfied, but he still endured it, forced a smile and nodded in agreement.

The man in black gauze got up and went.

Heng Jun's personal bodyguard, Bi Bai, watched the man in black gauze get into the carriage, and waited for it to disappear at the end of the street, then he stepped upstairs, pushed the door in, and reported to Heng Jun that the man had gone safely.

Heng Jun had a gloomy face and remained silent.

Bi Bo was silent for a while, seeing that the anger on his master's face had not dissipated, he couldn't help cursing: "He is so rampant now, he doesn't know how high the sky is, and he forgot how much kindness His Highness gave him back then, how dare he Talking to His Highness like this, you don't even have the slightest respect. Your Highness, if we support and let him go like this, I'm afraid that he will become more and more rampant day by day, and one day his wings will be hardened, and he will not be controlled by us. !"

"The most important thing right now is to settle the matter first and help him up. After that, if he really dares to do something wrong to me, Dayang, heh," Heng Jun sneered, "There is nothing to be afraid of, just expose his old background. When the time comes There will be civil strife in Zhou Dynasty, which is also a good thing for us in Dayang."

"Your Highness is still wise and considerate." Bi Bai bowed and said in admiration.

Heng Jun pushed open the window, looked at the second floor of the neighbor's house, then turned around and took a sip of tea, threw the teacup on the ground, and hurried downstairs, Bi Bai followed.

Heng Jun took two quick steps across the street, and sat down in the lobby of the neighbor's house.Bi Bai went to buy two miscellaneous books to read.Heng Jun flipped through one of the agricultural books about farming, glanced at it, and thought it was very good, so he asked Bi Bai to buy all similar books.

Bi Bai agreed, went to explain the situation to the waiter in the shop, and then turned around and came over with a book as tall as a person.

Heng Jun flipped through one book after another.

When Jia She came down from the second floor, Heng Jun had already read four or five books, and was fascinated by them. After being reminded by Bi Bo, he came back to his senses and got up to see Jia She.

Jia Amnesty looked at Heng Jun and said with a smile: "It's a rare visitor, why did His Highness Heng Jun come here today?"

"I happened to pass by, so I came to have a look. I heard that this book store was opened by an adult, and thought that since I can't worship an adult as a teacher, the books sold by the book store under the name of an adult should be more or less in line with my ideas, so I came to learn a little bit. Two." After Heng Jun finished speaking, he looked at the stack of books on the table, indicating to Jia She that he really came here to read.

"It's because you have a heart, so I won't disturb His Highness's reading." Jia She greeted Hengjun politely and said goodbye, then turned and left.

Heng Jun also saluted in response, watching Jia Amnesty.It was not until Jia Amnesty's carriage passed by the door of the neighbor's house that Heng Jun returned to his seat, ordered another pot of tea, and continued to read.

When it was almost dusk, Heng Jun got up and went back to the palace.

As soon as he entered his courtyard, Heng Jun heard footsteps landing behind him.Heng Jun closed his eyes for a moment, then turned around and looked at Heng Meng helplessly.

Heng Meng: "Where have you been all day?"

"This doesn't seem to be your business." Heng Jun glanced at Heng Meng coldly, and told him to do whatever he had to do, and not to harass him here.

"Hey, I'm in a bad mood. I have something to do, and people who want to do it won't let me do it. The Emperor of the Great Zhou has already decreed that we are not allowed to have direct contact with the officials of the Great Zhou. It is just a polite exchange and some gifts. I have to go through the receiving officer's hand first. I can't see Jia Enhou now, so I naturally find it boring, so I can only tease you." Heng Meng shrugged helplessly, no matter how annoyed Heng Jun looked at him, he took a big step After entering the room, he sat down and swayed back and forth with his legs crossed.

Heng Jun ignored him, drank his tea, and continued to read.

Heng Meng came over, snatched the book and flipped through it by herself. Seeing that it was full of big Zhou characters, she felt a headache and threw it aside, "When did the elder brother become interested in these bad books?"

"Know yourself and the enemy, and learn from the strengths of others, so that you can strengthen yourself. You are still young, and you have a lot to learn." Heng Jun said calmly.

Heng Meng pouted and nodded, and gave Heng Jun a thumbs up, "Brother is really amazing."

Heng Jun squinted at Heng Meng, "What have you been doing for the past two days?"

"Business."

Heng Jun sneered, "Is it your business to try to harass that Marquis Jia En all day long?"

"Yeah, don't you think he is very powerful?" Heng Meng smiled, so beautiful that it made the surrounding people lose color.

Heng Jun had long been used to Heng Meng's appearance, so he didn't feel anything, just frowned and stared at Heng Meng: "Are you serious?"

"Naturally, I am serious. I, Heng Meng, do things. When did I become as insidious, cunning and hypocritical as my elder brother?" Heng Meng raised her head high, cast a sidelong glance at Heng Jun, and then strode away with her hands behind her back.

Seeing this, Bi Bai frowned, and expressed to Heng Jun his concern for the second prince, fearing that he would cause trouble and ruin their plan.

"Not at all, he will be measured." When Heng Meng was mentioned, Heng Jun couldn't help frowning.

The sun was setting and it was just getting dark.

Out of the back door of the Yafeng Pavilion came a farmer-looking man wearing a straw hat and carrying two fish with wicker sticks.This person was thin and thin, and his face could not be seen clearly because of the brim of the big straw hat.He walked all the way to Tongtai Street and entered the back kitchen of the tea house in the mansion.

After Jia Yucun came out of Fude Teahouse with a bag of dim sum, he went to Neighborhood Xuan to buy a miscellaneous book, and then went to Xiayang Tower to make a bag of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and then returned home in a sedan chair, and there has been no movement since then. .

The beggars waited for a while in front of Jia Yucun's house before evacuating the two of them.

In the evening, the black pig reported Jia Yucun's today's itinerary to Jia Amnesty, saying that there was nothing special about it.

After hearing this, Jia Amnesty nodded in agreement, picked up the booklet, and recorded the day's itinerary of Jia Yucun reported by the black pig.

After Jia Amnesty finished writing, he compared it with what he had recorded before, and found that Jia Yucun seemed to like drinking tea very much, and would stay at Fude Tea House for an hour or two every few days.

"When he was drinking tea at the Ford Tea House, your people kept watching?"

"Yes, he sat at the window in the private room on the second floor. He sat there for a long time and never left for a moment." The black pig replied.

"Every time?"

Black Pig nodded.

Jia Amnesty sneered, "That's weird. When you go to a tea house to drink tea, you don't even go to the hut once, and you can sit as firmly as Mount Tai every time. When you were watching, did you see his face?"

The black pig was stunned for a moment, saying that he really didn't know about it, so he went to ask the subordinates who were guarding it.

In the middle of the night, the black pig came back in a hurry, and reported to Jia Amnesty: "I didn't see the face, I just looked at the back, and the clothes looked like Jia Yucun. The little one even asked carefully, every time he arrived at the second In the Lou Ya Room, I sit with my back to the window. After sitting down, the waiter will open the window, greet him with a smile and drink tea, and then leave. After that, except for the waiter who occasionally comes to change tea, Jia Yucun is either reading or writing. He kept his back to the direction of the window, never turned around, and never left."

Hearing this, Jia Yucun's behavior was abnormal.Jia Amnesty felt that it was very possible that the person drinking tea on the second floor was not Jia Yucun himself, but just a double who was wearing Jia Yucun's clothes and had a figure similar to him.

Jia Yucun probably knew that his people were watching him.If there is a person who can let the surveillance person see his figure, and can escape the surveillance to do his own business, he can only use a substitute.But because the stand-in couldn't possibly be the same as him, once the stand-in sat down, it couldn't move anymore, so as not to be exposed and people outside the window to notice.

Jia Amnesty felt that if Jia Yucun really used a substitute, then the people at Ford Tea House must also be involved.He must change clothes and go in and out through the back door of Ford Tea House.These behaviors are very suspicious and will definitely arouse the suspicion of the people in the teahouse.However, Jia Yucun was unharmed several times in the Ford Tea House, apparently someone from the Tea House was helping him.

"There is a problem with the Ford Tea House, you should investigate it thoroughly immediately, and don't startle the snake." After Jia Amnesty went down, he picked up the cinnabar pen, wrote "Fude Tea House" in the book, and wrote it in "Jia Yu Village" and "Fude Tea House". Hit two arrows, pointing to the same place. As for this location, Jia She drew a question mark on it.

There is no doubt that someone is behind Jia Yucun.

Jia Amnesty immediately remembered what Dou Cong said to him that day.Dou Cong said that he heard Dou Huai and Jia Yucun talk about the third prince.If what the child said is true, then Jia Yucun and Dou Huai must have some involvement, and they are both related to the third prince.Now the third prince is very likely to be involved in Liuzhou's salt and iron weapons case.And that night he witnessed Hengmeng and Jia Yucun coming out of the back door of Prime Minister Wu's mansion, that is to say, both Prime Minister Wu and Prince Zhenyan were involved with Jia Yucun.

As for Jia Yucun's comeback as an official, Song Xi's reaction has always made Jia Amnesty puzzled.Originally, according to Song Xi's nature of vengeance, he would not tolerate Jia Yucun becoming an official again, let alone serving as an official under his nose in the capital.When Jia Yucun disappeared suddenly, Jia Amnesty and Song Xi mentioned it, and Song Xi's reaction was very flat.We must know that when Jia Yucun framed him, Song Xi dealt with Jia Yucun very ruthlessly.This kind of ruthlessness is in stark contrast to his later attitude of turning a blind eye and ignoring it.Jia Amnesty did not believe that Song Xi had no other purpose in this matter, and there must be some connection between him and Jia Yucun.

Right now, it seems that all the people he knows in the hall have an inexplicable connection with each other.These connections are like an invisible and transparent net, which becomes denser and denser.Jia She had a feeling that the entire imperial city would be caught in a huge conspiracy.One day it will cover the entire Miyagi and firmly control it.

And the people he knew were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

Jia Amnesty rubbed his temples, considering that it was a wrong decision for him to choose to go to Liuzhou at this time.But he can't do it if he doesn't go, the emperor has entrusted him to thoroughly investigate the Yantie case to determine whether the third prince is innocent.He is bound to go to Liuzhou and his party.

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Amnesty decided to postpone his departure for a day, and set off again after meeting with Song Xi tomorrow and discussing the matter carefully.

Early the next morning, Jia Amnesty just woke up and opened his eyes when he heard hurried footsteps coming from outside, heading straight for his room.Jia Amnesty sat up and put on his clothes.

Zhu Mao knocked on the door, tentatively asking the old man if he was awake.

Jia Amnesty responded, and Zhu Mao immediately opened the door, then quickly closed the door, walked quickly to Jia Amnesty, and offered a book with both hands.

Jia Amnesty glanced at the cover of the book, and his expression darkened immediately, "The second issue of "Shocking Secrets"?"

"Exactly." Zhu Mao glanced at Jia Amnesty in fear, "The content in it is about the master. I have already sent people to Ning Mansion to inquire, and the same book was thrown at the gate of their mansion. I guess this book should be Just like last time, I chose to place the books at the gates of the noble mansions in the middle of the night."

Jia She picked up the book and flipped through it, his eyes froze suddenly, and turned to look through the pages with a cold face. After a while, Jia She saw the end.At this time, Fang Zhenglu, Liu Xianglian, Hei Zhu and others also came.With a book in his hand, Fangzheng hurriedly asked if the master was there after entering the hospital.Jia Amnesty went out and stood on the stone steps to watch them.

Several people hurriedly saluted Jia She, and Fang Zhenglu immediately saw Jia She was also holding "A Shocking Secret" in his hand, and then looked at Jia She panicked.

"Master, have you read the contents inside?"

After a moment of silence, Jia Amnesty agreed in a low voice with an "Yes".

"How good is this!"

Fang Zhenglu frowned and stomped his feet anxiously, angrily scolded the author of "The Shocking Secret" for being shameless, for being so boring as to expose their master as the author of "The Secret Next Door".This matter spread out overnight without any preparation, and I am afraid that it will have a great impact and bring a lot of trouble to the master.

This "Shocking Secret" originally started with Dou Cong, and now there is another issue, everyone naturally suspects Dou Cong, when someone raises an objection, Dou Cong opens the door and comes out of his room.

"This matter has nothing to do with me. The idea of ​​"Shocking Secrets" was given to me by someone else and helped me handle it. I didn't know about it." Dou Cong said, and went back to the room. After a while, he took He wrote a note to Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty took a look, and there were words written in strange handwriting on it that would help Dou Cong realize his wish and drive away Dou Huai. repaid at a later date.

"Who is this person?" Fang Zhenglu asked.

Jia Amnesty: "This person is not simple. He is fully prepared, so it should be difficult to investigate."

Heizhu: "It's okay to talk about other troubles, but the most troublesome in the mansion. If the second master and the old lady knew the situation in the book, I'm afraid they wouldn't spare the master lightly."

Liu Xianglian clenched the sword in her hand, gritted her teeth, and said, "What are you afraid of? Soldiers will come to block you, and water will come to cover you up. Our master does things upright and frankly, worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. There is nothing to be afraid of! Master, don't worry, as long as we have us One day, I will definitely not let anyone hurt half a hair of the master."

The black pig also hurriedly responded, kowtowed to Jia Amnesty, showing his loyalty, and told him that his life belonged to Jia Amnesty, and he was willing to go through fire and water for him.

Jia She looked at them silently for a while, then suddenly smiled, "It's not too difficult to get there, you don't have to worry about it. I would like to thank you for your concern, my heart is very warm."

As soon as Jia Amnesty said this, Fang Zhenglu and the others also felt relieved, and their expressions became much calmer.

Jia Amnesty handed the book to Dong Xue and asked her to show it to Mother Jia.Now that this incident has already spread across the city, there is no need for Jia She to keep it a secret.

"Lingjiaxuan and Hainabaichuan will continue to operate as usual, but additional staff should be deployed. If there is any trouble, report it to the officials immediately." Jia She said.

Fang Zhenglu agreed, and then went with Liu Xianglian and others.

After Jia Amnesty washed and dressed, he went to Jia Mu's place.Mother Jia just finished reading the contents of the book, she was furious and her face was red.She was about to question why Jia Amnesty didn't come when she heard the report.Mother Jia held back her breath, and at this moment, when she realized that Jia Amnesty was coming, she immediately threw the book at Jia Amnesty.Jia Amnesty didn't dodge it, but shocked everyone. If he hit the head and disfigured him, Grand Master She would be unable to go to court for a long time.Fortunately, Jia Mu didn't have enough strength, and she knocked it crookedly. The book just brushed Jia Amnesty's arm and fell to the other side.

"Are you the author of the secret story next door?" Jia Mu asked angrily.

Jia Amnesty agreed.

Mother Jia stared wide-eyed, took a deep breath, her face turned from red to blue, her hands were shaking, she was gnashing her teeth, you bastard, you're planning on us!You lied to your second brother, you lied to me, and forced us to beg you to move into Rongxi Hall.Jia Enhou, you are really capable, digging soil on your old lady's head!Is Rongxi Hall comfortable and happy now? "

Jia Amnesty watched Jia's mother making a fuss calmly, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Jia's mother became even more angry, and raised her hand and dropped the teacup, "You really think you have won the title of Fuguo Duke, and you have become a censor in the court to call the wind and rain, and all the young and old in our family will follow a Like a pug, he nodded and bowed at you and let you play? Marquis Jia En, you disrespected your mother and cheated your younger brother. It is a crime of disrespect and disrespect, and you should be expelled from the Jia clan!"

"If the mother wants to do this, the son will do his best to fulfill it." Jia She saluted Jia's mother.

"You, you..." Jia Mu's eyes were wide open, she pointed at Jia Amnesty with trembling fingers, her face was flushed with suffocation, she felt as if she had eaten a fly the size of a fist, disgusted and hated to the extreme, but was suffocated again I was speechless.

"If my mother insisted that I be expelled from the Jia family, I did not refute it, and just let myself be punished. If my mother doesn't want me to live in Rong Mansion and sends me out, I will also follow your arrangement. Everything will go according to your wishes."

Jia Amnesty had planned to say this last time. It was Wang Xifeng who reversed the situation in time, but he didn't expect to use it today.Jia Amnesty saluted Jiamu again, and then said that it was getting late, and he had to go to the court to be on duty because he had a holy order.

Mother Jia was trembling with anger, her teeth were chattering, and her eyes were filled with tears, she just watched Jia Amnesty turn away from his sight in an arrogant manner.Jiamu opened her mouth silently, and then patted her thigh. After several times of slapping on the back by Yuanyang, Jiamu finally burst into tears, crying loudly.

"How could I have raised such a deadly thing, look at him crazy! It's really like we girls can't live without him! Divide it, I will drive him out of the house today, and drive him out of the Jia family." Clan, if he has nothing to do with us again, I'll just pretend that I just pulled a piece of shit back then, and I never gave birth to such a ghost." Jiamu said harshly.

Yuanyang didn't dare to say anything else, and just patted Jia Mu on the back to comfort her not to be angry.Over there, he ordered people to prepare tea to suppress the shock.

As soon as Jia's mother calmed down, she was persuaded by the mandarin ducks to order some porridge, and then a woman came to report that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang had come to see her.

As soon as Jia Mu heard about Jia Zheng, tears came down. When Jia Zheng came to worship, Jia Mu cried: "I have been sorry for you for the past two years. I don't know it. You and your wife have suffered all these years, and I am sorry for you."

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang hurried over to help Mother Jia, and also shed tears, "It's nothing for us to be wronged. As long as the old lady is happy, it's a blessing for us to be juniors."

Jia Zheng also quickly agreed that this was indeed the case, and knelt down to Jia Mu, thanking Jia Mu for raising and caring for him over the years.

Seeing the filial piety of their husband and wife, Jia's mother made her even more angry when compared with Jia She's attitude just now, and made up her mind to expel Jia She from Jia's house.

Jia Zheng was startled when he heard this, and looked at Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang frowned and shook her head at Jia Zheng, signaling him not to talk nonsense.But as soon as Jia Zheng gritted his teeth, he still kowtowed to Jia Mu and pleaded guilty first.

Jia Mu frowned and asked him what he meant.

Jia Zheng quickly said, "My son has been hiding something from his mother. He didn't tell her. Now that something like this happened, my son felt that there was something he had to say clearly."

"What's the matter, tell me." Jia Mu looked calm, trying to hold her breath.

Jia Zheng kowtowed again, and said to Jia Mu: "The Taoist nun actually looked for her son and talked with him for a long time. At first, my son didn't believe any Taoist nun's crazy words, but she can accurately tell the birth dates of the children in the family. , and also talked about their natures and fates. The son heard that they were inseparable, and found it very strange, so he let her talk. In the end, it was about the elder brother—"

Jia Zheng stopped talking here, looked at all the maids and women in the room, and then at Jia Mu.

Jia's mother understood immediately, and she also knew that many people in this room were Jia She's eyeliner, so she only kept the mandarin ducks and sent the rest away.
