The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

"It's good that you can sort everything out." Song Xi said with a smile.

Jia Amnesty shook his head, indicating that he hadn't figured it out yet.

In fact, he still has a lot of questions in his stomach, and the biggest question lies with the First Prince.But in view of the complicated relationship between Song Xi and the eldest prince, it is inconvenient for Jia She to talk to him at this moment.

If the Eldest Prince really colluded with the Zhenyan people, after the Zhenyan people help him ascend the throne, what good will there be?Zhenyan people are willing to make such a big sacrifice to provide Muruijiong with dead soldiers. Obviously they are h, and they are not worried that Muruijiong will go back on his word after he takes the throne.What is the reason for this, but it has to be explored.After all, Heng Jun and Heng Meng were in Dazhou, and they didn't have any troops besides a few guards.Dealing with the two of them in Da Zhou was as easy as crushing an ant.

There must be something that maintains the cooperation between Muruijiong and Zhenyanren, so that they have to become a community of interests and can trust each other.

"Jia Yucun, what are you going to do about it?" Seeing that Jia She was lost in thought, Song Xi reminded him not to forget the matter at hand.

"Since he confessed, let him go back." Jia She said.

"That's a good move, I'll help you." Song Xi smiled interestedly, got up and went to the place where Jia Yucun was being held, and had a secret chat with him over a cup of tea.After Song Xi left, Jia Yucunfang came out of the house, straightened his clothes, looked around, and left in a hurry with his head down.

"Is he willing to cooperate with us?" Jia Amnesty withdrew his gaze and turned to Song Xi.

"I understand the reason for him. He knows the current affairs. Originally, he didn't have a choice. If he confessed to us, it would be tantamount to betraying the third prince. According to the other party's temper, knowing that he is like this, he will keep him. His life? Since he is doing business with us, he is alive." Song Xi explained.

"It makes sense." Jia She thanked Song Xi, and asked him to return to the mansion temporarily. There are still some chores to be done in Gyeonggi Mansion, so it's not good to delay him.

"Idle is idle. Besides, where can I not handle things? You are busy with yours, don't worry about me. Today I want to go to Rongfu to meet your little grandson who is about to be full moon." Song Xi laughed.

Jia Amnesty didn't force him, and he found a corner to read idle books by himself, while he went out to check with Liu Zhizhong about the unresolved events that happened in Gyeonggi Prefecture since he was not in Beijing.

Gyeonggi Province generally deals with homicide cases as the main case, followed by disappearance, robbery, theft, and fraud.

"The three murder cases that happened last month were all simple, and the officials have already dealt with them. This is the case file. Please look over it and give me some pointers." Liu Zhizhong said, and respectfully handed over the case file.

After Jia Amnesty opened it for a quick glance, he saw the certified physical evidence, and the self-reported confession were all complete, and the details and logic were also in line.Jia Amnesty nodded and praised Liu Zhizhong for handling it well.

"This is a summary of the unresolved cases in Gyeonggi Province in the past six months according to the request of the adults. The first few pages are about disappearance cases, the next few pages are about theft and other cases, and the following pages are about such accidents. The other cases are about losing cats and dogs, or being harmed by people and crops."

Jia Amnesty agreed, and after accepting the notebook, he waved Liu Zhizhong away to continue his work.Jia Amnesty flipped through the content carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more serious his expression became.Immediately, he started to write a list on rice paper, and ordered the officials in Gyeonggi Province to re-investigate the confessions of all relevant persons involved in the three missing children.

Liu Zhizhong heard the news and rushed to explain to Jia Amnesty, "My lord, these three missing children, the younger ones have already had their testimony recorded."

"I know, I've already seen it, and now I want to go into more detail." Jia She said.

Liu Zhizhong nodded in a daze, he reacted slowly, then suddenly trembled, and looked at his lord in surprise, "Don't lord think that the three disappearances of children are caused by the same person?"

"It's hard to say at the moment, I'll just check again." Jia She said.

After Liu Zhizhong asked Jia Amnesty, he picked up the case files of the three missing children from the table and looked at them carefully for a while, "One was last autumn, one was before Chinese New Year, and the other was last month. The time difference is different. There are also differences in age, ranging from 14, nine and six years old. The reasons for disappearance are also different, one is to leave home in anger, one is to get separated in the temple, and the other is to be abducted directly from the door of the house. Eyewitnesses. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the same person committed the crime."

Jia Amnesty smiled, but did not express his opinion.

Seeing this, Liu Zhizhong lowered his head, knowing that he might be talking too much, and with the ability of his family's adults, he can naturally see clearly.Now that the adult wants to re-examine the relevant witnesses, there must be his own reasons.

Liu Zhizhong apologized to Jia Amnesty.

"No, there is nothing wrong with what you said. Compared with previous years, the number of missing children in Gyeonggi Province this year has not fluctuated much. But I chose these three children out because some of them A testimony with the same description makes me very bothered. I don’t want my suspicion to come true, it’s best to worry too much.” When Jia Amnesty said this, he sent Liu Zhizhong to take the case file and think about it for himself.

Unwilling to admit defeat, Liu Zhizhong took the case file and swore in his heart that he would definitely find the same suspicious point and make adults look at him with admiration.

The next day, according to Jia Amnesty's request, Yacha submitted the testimony from the new inquiry.

There is nothing special about these children, but they are all fair-skinned and handsome, and their appearance is quite admirable by the neighbors.Even people who are not very familiar with these three families know the children's good names.Among them, the child who was abducted was the oldest, 14 years old. He was an age at which he could judge right from wrong, and because of this, the witnesses did not arouse their vigilance at that time.But afterwards, the witness was unable to describe the man's appearance in detail, because he looked too ordinary, and his face flashed by, leaving no impression on people.

Jia Amnesty was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that these three children would be abducted to some kind of prostitution house and suffer some unimaginable and inhuman ravages.Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty felt more and more that this matter could not be delayed, and immediately ordered the black pig to secretly investigate all prostitution halls in the capital, especially those places that would satisfy people, especially good pickling and dirty places.

After the black pig received the order, he first drew on the map for Jia She the secret prostitution hall that he and his brothers had known for a long time. "These restaurants have been open in Beijing for many years. The gates are usually closed, and they look like ordinary houses, but the difference is that there are always different sedan chairs and carriages frequently entering and leaving the front and back doors of the house, and at night, there are singing and dancing in the house. Shengping, the aroma of coriander is wafting out from the wine. It’s easy to talk about other things, but the food can’t escape the noses of us beggars.”

Jia Amnesty immediately ordered the government officials to seal up the area circled with a cinnabar pen on the map.It's just that it's impossible to catch one right, but as long as the government seals down the prostitution halls, it will at least surprise those thieves who are doing evil and make them dare not open it casually.

In the early morning of the next day, the news that Gyeonggi Prefecture seized the capital and leaked out of the prostitution hall spread throughout the capital.The women applauded, but some men complained endlessly. What's more, they secretly cursed Jia She for not being a man, and actually cut off their men's liking like this.

"Tsk, it's not that you are not allowed to play with women, it's the same as going to a brothel!"

"The price in the restaurant is also cheap. How expensive is it in the brothel? It's a serious gold-selling cave. Can you and I afford it?"

"That's true."

"Besides, those restaurants have fun that brothels don't have. Let me tell you, they all have it..."

The two continued to whisper to each other, making the tea drinkers around them tickle their ears and want to crane their necks to listen.

"You two, this neighbor's house is a place for serious scholars, please talk more elegantly. If you can't, I will trouble you to invite someone outside."

"What do you mean, we paid a lot of money to sit here!"

Wanfu smiled, took out twenty Wen coins from his sleeve, and put them on the table.

"Double pay two, please!"

The two scholars were still not convinced, they wanted to reason, and were sent away by everyone.

"Don't be ashamed, and besides, be careful that Mr. Jia sends the government officials in Gyeonggi Prefecture to go back and convict you of spreading rumors."

The scholar rolled his eyes, although the eyes showed fear, but his chin was raised on his face, and he snorted coldly, maintaining his dignity.He said that Wanfu was pitiful, and he reluctantly did not pursue it, and then he took a big step to go.

"Who are these two people, who do you know?" A literati asked.

All the scholars in the hall shook their heads.

"The two poor scholars from the Zhang family and the Fang family on the East Street are in their thirties and have nothing to do. They don't study all day, and they don't care about farming. They just rely on their own daughter-in-law's dowry and continue to pretend to be gentle."

"Bah, it's really nothing."

"Treasurer Wan, you should give this abominable ghost to your master for disposal."

Wan Fu smiled: "Don't dare to dirty our master's eyes."

All the scholars burst into laughter, and then the hall gradually became quiet, and the usual order of reading was restored.

The next day, Jia Amnesty received another return from Liu Zhizhong, and there were no children in the two shadow houses that were sealed up last night.

"After seeing what didn't happen, I was greatly relieved. I was really afraid of seeing something that I shouldn't have seen." Liu Zhizhong said in fear. Whose family has no son, and thinking that if his son was kidnapped, he would be so sad at such a young age. It's heartbreaking to do something like this.

"My lord, I have checked all the secret halls in the capital, but there is no one, should I rule it out..."

"How do you know you've checked it out? Make a bait and go out to see if you can catch any fish." Jia She said.

"The next official takes orders!" After Liu Zhizhong agreed, he had to work hard to make arrangements.

"You can't, you are the Prime Minister of Gyeonggi Prefecture, and you are a normal person, but you suddenly say you like it...who would believe it?" Jia She's rhetorical question made Liu Zhizhong speechless for a moment.

"But my lord, who is the right person to find?"

"It must be a regular customer who has stayed in that kind of circle for a long time." Jia She thought of the Dongping County King who used to raise "little birds" in captivity and served four naked women in his study.If it was a hobby he proposed, those people would definitely believe it.

Naturally, Jia Amnesty couldn't lobby the king of Dongping County, and this matter would have to trouble Song Xi to save face.

Song Xi was unambiguous, and immediately agreed, and then set off to discuss with the king of Dongping County.Not long after, Jia Amnesty waited until Song Xi came back, seeing Song Xi nodded to him, he was relieved, and thanked him again and again.

"Is the King of Dongping a bit reluctant?"

Song Xi: "He said an interesting saying, people are like mountains, where there is sunshine, there is shade. Saints and thieves coexist."

"Saints don't die, but thieves abound?" Jia She asked rhetorically.

Song Xi nodded.

Jia She lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then hurriedly thanked Song Xi, turned his head and rushed into the room, and re-read the list of ministers in the court who obviously supported the eldest prince.Bearing the brunt, of course, is Prime Minister Wu.

Song Xi came after him and asked him what was wrong.

"The shocking secret is imitated from "My Neighbor's Secret", but it is used in crooked ways." Jia She sighed.

Song Xi nodded, naturally agreeing with Jia She's words, but he still didn't understand what Jia She meant.

"If there is any news from the Duke of Dongping, you must let me know immediately." Jia Amnesty took the list and hurried out.

Song Xi quickly stopped him and asked him where he was going.

"I have important matters, you must know." Jia Amnesty turned to look at him solemnly.

Song Xi froze for a moment, then shook his head, "If it's about the eldest prince, I won't ask."

Jia Amnesty went away without looking back.

Song Xi sat in the room with his belly down, drinking tea in a muffled voice, without saying a word for a long time.Heng Shu straightened his back and accompanied him.

News finally came from Liuzhou.

After the First Prince comforted the injured army, he went to Liuzhou City alone to negotiate. He didn't want the negotiation to fail, and the First Prince was trapped in the capital.Zhang Nan was in a panic and rushed to report for eight hundred miles.

The emperor was very angry after reading the memorial, and immediately ordered all the horses from all over the country to go to Liuzhou, "We must capture Liuzhou City as quickly as possible and rescue the eldest prince. I have lost him once, and I must not lose him a second time. "

When the queen heard the news, she was even more sad and fainted twice.The emperor hurriedly went to the Hall of Spring Harmony to visit. After the imperial physician had diagnosed the pulse, he smiled and knelt down to the emperor instead.The emperor was about to scold the imperial physician for being rude, when he suddenly heard some happy words from the imperial physician.

"What are you happy? Did you just say 'you are happy'? The queen is pregnant?" The emperor looked dazed, and then his face turned happy. When the imperial physician nodded to congratulate him, the emperor felt that his whole body was floating.Immediately he stood up, rushed to the bed, squeezed the queen's hand, and told her happily that they were expecting their third child.

In the whole year, nothing could make him happier than having two children in succession.Originally, the emperor, who had already looked sluggish because of his cough these days, now had a radiant face and was very energetic.

The empress hid the sadness in her eyes, and smiled gently at the emperor, expressing that she was also very happy to have their child.

Immediately, news of the queen's pregnancy reached Song Xi's ears.Song Xi was drinking tea, when he heard the news, he loosened his hand and dropped the jade teacup in his hand.

"Master?" Heng Shu.

Half an hour later, Song Xi met the queen.

"Eldest sister intends to have this child?"

The queen frowned and looked at Song Xi, "What do you mean?"

"Elder Sister, you should be aware of your own health. If this child wants to survive, I'm afraid it won't last long. If he can't keep it, your life will be involved." Song Xi said.

"I never thought that I would not escape this catastrophe after drinking the Bizi soup. Although this child is not what I expected, but since it is here, it is fate after all. How could I kill him with my hands? I will try my best to protect our mother and child." Zhou Quan, if there is any accident, now that Jiong'er is back, his courage is still the same as before. I believe that with your help, he will not be bullied by any thieves. If there is another time, I can rest assured that you two will take care of him Mu Lin, you have to help me this time, this may be the last time my sister begs you."
