The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

"How dare you! I, Princess Zhenyan Baozhu, come to your big week, and I deserve to be treated politely—"

Before Luo Mu finished speaking, a guard picked up a dagger, opened Princess Baozhu's left leg, and went up to stab him.

"Well--"

The woman couldn't cry out, but her facial features were distorted from the pain, her veins were exposed, and her tears flowed down her cheeks.

In fact, let alone the person who was stabbed, Zhang Kaichi couldn't bear to look at it, so he quickly covered his eyes with his hands to avoid it.

Luo Mu's face turned pale from being frightened, he was furious, and drew his knife at Song Xi.The accompanying Zhenyan guards also drew their knives, facing Song Xi and the others.

Suddenly there was a screeching sound from all directions in the courtyard, and all the buried soldiers appeared in a hurry, enclosing the entire courtyard airtightly, and even pointed bows and arrows at Luo Mu and the others on the roof above the wall.Then a large group of soldiers rushed in and surrounded the marriage team with the tip of their knives.

The 23 tied men in black were also brought up.

Several of them were wounded and had obviously been questioned.

Liu Zhizhong spoke barbaric language, kicked one of them, muttered a few words, the other party was so angry that he jumped, and immediately scolded him back with a red face.

The assassin spoke fluent Dayang barbarian language, which naturally proved the fact that they were barbarians.

Luo Mu still didn't give up, and only said it was a conspiracy, "I don't know these assassins, this must be an internal strife among the seven tribes of Dayang, and a conspiracy to frame them. Master Song, you offended the princess of my Zhenyan tribe in a hurry I don't care about it, but please release our Princess Orb right now!"

"It seems that the Luo Mu envoy really wants to see what her leg bones look like." Song Xi bowed slightly, and looked at the woman whose eyes were blurred with pain, "Your master really likes you."

After Song Xi said that, his face turned cold, and he ordered his subordinates to dig faster.

Luo Mu was about to burst into tears: "Presumptuous! Stop! Do you know that you raped the princess and imprisoned the pro-envoy if our Khan found out, we Khan will never let you go, and we will definitely send troops to crusade against Dazhou Chop you into meat paste and feed the vultures!"

"Whether I let you go has something to do with your sweating troops?" Song Xi raised his eyebrows with a look of contempt.The opponent is too stupid to make him feel interesting.

Song Xi waved his hands, and ordered Luo Mu and others to be tied up, gagged, and secretly escorted to Beijing in the dark.

At this time, Jia Amnesty was waiting in the inn in Puliu County.

Song Xi didn't say the reason, just let him wait for the news.Jia Amnesty didn't ask any further questions, because he knew that once the two sides confronted each other, he would only add to the chaos, and it would be good to spare one's life.

Because it was too late, he simply lay down on the couch and fell asleep.

Zhu Mao yawned and stood guard outside, when he heard footsteps under the window, he hurriedly opened the window to look, saw those soldiers came back, wanted to run to call his master, but was suddenly stopped by a hand.

Zhu Mao was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head foolishly, and saw Master Song's face.When did you come in?He didn't notice it.

"I'll call him." After Song Xi said that, he walked to the bed with big strides, but the sound of his walking was so small that he could hardly hear it.

Song Xi didn't wake Jia She up, so he stood by the bed and watched Jia She silently for a while.

Zhu Mao swallowed dryly, feeling that Mr. Song didn't seem like calling someone.Zhu Mao still kept the master's instructions in mind, and besides, he didn't want to neglect his duty, so he pretended not to stand still, and turned off the oil lamp at hand.

"Ouch!"

With a cry, Zhu Mao hurriedly picked up the oil lamp, then bowed with a trembling heart and a smile, apologizing to Song Xi who had cast a cold look at him.

Song Xi only glanced at the pig's hair, then turned his head away.

After Zhu Mao put the oil lamp away, he stretched his neck to look inside.

Dear father, he made such a big commotion, yet his master didn't wake up!

……

When Jia She woke up again, he found himself in the car, with two layers of quilts under his body, and a cushion on the back of his head, so as to prevent his head from hitting the car floor due to the bumps when he was sleeping.Jia Amnesty rubbed his head, and found that Zhu Mao was squatting in the corner of the carriage, scratching his fingers in distress.

Jia Amnesty sat up.

Hearing the sound, Zhu Mao quickly blinked and came over, "Master is awake? Do you want some tea and something to eat, we are on the way to Beijing."

Jia Amnesty let out a "hmm" and heard the sound of horseshoes outside the car. Looking out through the window screen, he saw many soldiers walking with him.

"We can go with Master Song." Zhu Mao explained in a low voice.

Jia Amnesty nodded and asked Zhu Mao why he didn't wake him up.

Zhu Mao hurriedly explained that he barked, but he didn't wake up.

"I was too nervous about the matter with the pro-envoy two days ago, so I didn't sleep well. Maybe I slept too soundly, so I don't blame you." Jia Amnesty's head was still a little swollen, rubbed his temples, and asked Zhu Mao and the pro-envoy How the group's affairs were resolved.

Zhu Mao then vividly told Jia Amnesty what he had heard.

"Luo Mu never recognized it?" Jia She asked.

Zhu Mao nodded, "No, but it doesn't matter whether he admits it or not, the evidence is solid, that woman is indeed not Princess Baozhu."

unambiguous evidence?

Jia Amnesty was stunned.

When the two armies confront each other, it is inevitable that there will be sacrifices, and the matter was provoked by the barbarians.If we don't use some ruthless hands at this time, it will only be the people of Limin in Dazhou that will suffer.As to whether the flesh on the leg of the fake Baozhu princess had been dug out, Jia She felt that it was useless to delve into it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Zhu Mao turned around and took out the teapot from the food box, poured tea for Jia She, secretly wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, the master didn't ask too many questions.

A guard rode over and shouted softly, "Zhu Mao, is your master awake?"

"Wake up." Jia Amnesty put down the tea in his hand and replied with a normal voice.

The guards outside were silent for a long time, and Jia Amnesty was about to send Zhu Mao to ask what was the matter when he heard Song Xi call to stop the carriage.

"If it's convenient, can you ride back to Beijing with me?" Song Xi asked.

Jia She nodded, took the reins from the guard, and immediately rode on.Together with more than a dozen imperial guards, the two of them rode horses and galloped straight to the capital.

Before dawn, they arrived at the East City Gate.Before the gate of the city was opened, Song Xi asked his subordinates to hand over tokens so that they could enter.Then they entered the palace, and the two went straight to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After hearing what Song Xi said, the emperor was furious, and scolded the great Khan Hengsong for being a jackal and a fox, being a treacherous and cunning man.

"Thanks to the quick decision of the two love ministers, they stopped the barbarian's plot in time. By the way, how did you know that the real Princess Baozhu had a broken leg?"

Song Xi looked at Jia Amnesty, "Thanks to Jia Yushi's news network."

The emperor was very surprised, "If I remember correctly, the purpose of Jia Aiqing's trip this time is to establish a news network in various places. This is just the beginning, and the Dayang tribe is far away on the southernmost border. To detect such confidential news?"

"Most of the spies developed in the news network are servants of humble origins, beggars, refugees, etc. When I was in Yuzhou, there happened to be a group of refugees from the south in the city, so I wanted to develop them as spies by the way. Several of them pretended to be The dumb girl opened her mouth to speak when she heard that the news could be sold for money, which revealed her identity.

Among them is a deceased mother who once served the younger sister of the leader of the Zhenyan Tribe, who is now Princess Baozhu.At that time, the minister just wanted to know something about the barbarian Khan, and the girl was so hungry that she asked her to give her a hundred coins if she told one.She knew everything, poured it all out in one go.The matter of Princess Dayang Baozhu's broken leg was just a casual note at the time, and I didn't expect it to be used so soon. "

The emperor was amazed by Jia She's talent, he never expected that a few words from these unremarkable pariahs could influence the fate of Da Zhou.

"But why did they flee? As far as I know, the Zhenyan tribe has occupied the most fertile grassland in Dayang, and their lives are rich. Why is it so difficult?"

"They have a bad habit. They like to use women to reward men who are brave and good at fighting in the tribe. Regardless of whether the woman is a good family or not, as long as she is picked by a man with military exploits, the girls must sacrifice themselves. This kind of thing has been popular for a long time , followed by example, formed a trend in the small tribes below that the strong can grab women at will. There are always some women who can't stand this, so they flee to Dazhou and pretend to be Han people." Jia She explained.

After the emperor listened with great interest, he couldn't help sighing at the pity of those women.In turn, I also got a warning from it that a king should be cautious in his words and deeds, even a small wrong decision may cause serious harm to the people below.

The emperor looked at Jia She with unusually gentle and loving eyes, "Thanks to Ai Qing's insight, I was able to avoid the crisis of my Great Zhou. If those villains are made famous in the army, it will definitely dampen the morale of my Great Zhou soldiers."

"More than that, Jia Yushi also found out that these missions traveled from the southernmost border of Dazhou to the border of the capital in just over a month. In such a hurry, I am afraid that Heng Song would have already Impatient, just wait for this excuse to come out, and then go to war against Da Zhou." Song Xi said.

The emperor frowned: "In other words, Heng Song is ready for battle."

Song Xi nodded.

"Since the opponent is destined to attack, why don't we pre-emptively strike with a surprise attack?" Jia She said.

The emperor asked Jia Amnesty suspiciously: "Surprise attack?"

Jia She explained: "The journey is long and the situation is changeable. No one can guarantee that there will be no delays on the road. When Heng Song sent the mission, he must have no idea how long it will take for the mission to enter Beijing. He probably just ordered them to hurry on the road. As long as the travel time is within a reasonable range, he cannot confirm whether it is January, February or March. Unless someone from the mission sends a letter back. In short, he must still be waiting for news at this moment and is in a state of slack. If the spies of our army can find the place where Heng Song's army is stationed and carry out a surprise attack, they will definitely be severely injured."

Song Xi seconded the proposal.

"good idea!"

The emperor happily slapped the table, and immediately drafted an order, ordering the secret report to be sent to the border customs eight hundred miles away.

The emperor raised his eyebrows energetically, walked down from the dragon chair with a smile on his face, walked back and forth a few steps in front of Jia She with his hands behind his back, then suddenly pointed at Jia She with piercing eyes and said, "Sure enough, I saw you right. If this matter Dacheng, your contribution is indispensable, and I will reward you!"

"It is my duty to keep the people of the Zhou Dynasty safe and free from the chaos of war. This is my duty." Jia She replied.This is indeed his true thought. His lips are dead and his teeth are cold. If even the country is gone, what kind of magazine will he still be doing.

The emperor was even happier when he heard this, he laughed, and immediately dismissed Jia Amnesty, leaving Song Xi and the other three scholars alone to discuss matters.

Before meeting the emperor, Song Xi left a message for him in advance, and if he came out first, he would wait for him.Jia Amnesty was waiting outside the hall, waiting for Song Xi.

After about half an hour, Song Xi came out.But he was alone, and the other ministers were not with him.

Song Xi glanced at Jia Amnesty apologetically, "I kept you waiting for so long. If I knew it would be so long, I should have told you to go back earlier."

"No problem."

Jia Amnesty asked Song Xi to go first, and the two left the palace one after the other, and Jia Amnesty asked him what was the matter.

Song Xi looked at him appreciatively for a while, then shook his head with a smile, saying that it was nothing serious, but he was still a little puzzled about the relationship with the mission.Let Jia Amnesty talk to him about the meticulous deliberations that led to the discovery of the problem of Princess Baozhu and the peace mission.

Jia Amnesty started from scratch, and carefully explained the suspicious clues he saw.

"At first it was just speculation and suspicion. Just in case of accidents, the magistrate of Baimi County sent someone to guard Princess Baozhu's room first. Later, they found out about the carriage, and they had been rushing on their way, but they accidentally stayed at the Baimi County Inn. After three days, my suspicions were confirmed even more, and they were planning to plan something big. Fortunately, I didn't ask you to make a trip in vain."

"So you called me not to let me receive the merit together with you, but because you were not sure at the time?" Song Xi looked at Jia She seriously and asked.

Jia She shrugged and said innocently: "Of course, otherwise, what would I ask you to do? It would be great to send a message to the emperor directly. I can still remember the merits, and maybe I will be a Rong Guogong."

Song Xi sneered, "So you just want to be the Duke of the state? Look at your future."

"What's wrong with the Duke, you don't have it yourself, so you have the nerve to laugh at me."

"Being the Duke will make you change your opinion of me? If so, I can ask for one." Song Xi laughed.

"No, I mean, I'm the Duke of the country, it's fine for you to be your uncle of the country, don't add titles to yourself, too much will make your neck tired." Jia Amnesty doesn't want to see Song Xi next time , I have to open my mouth and say respectfully that he is the Duke of the country.

Song Xi laughed, shook his head, and told Jia She to go back and rest earlier.

"You've lost a lot of weight in this line of work. Go back and make up for it. Don't be so tall, but your body is so light."

After Song Xi finished speaking, he waved goodbye to Jia Amnesty, got on his horse and left.

Jia Amnesty didn't feel anything at first, but when he was about to mount his horse, he stiffened, he was stunned, and turned to look at the guards behind him.All of them had stern faces, as if they didn't know anything.

Jia Amnesty calmed down, controlled his emotions, and didn't say much.He grabbed the mane with one hand, got on the horse, and rode quickly all the way to Rongfu.

When the servants of the Rong Mansion saw that the old man came back suddenly, he hurriedly sent someone to inform him, and then came up to greet Jia Amnesty.

Without further ado, Jia Amnesty hurried into the mansion and asked Zhu Mao if he had returned.As soon as the words fell, Zhu Mao ran over from a distance, saluted Jia She with a smile, and even supported Jia She to go back.

Jia Amnesty flicked his sleeves, walked ahead, and led Zhu Mao into the Rongxi Hall.

Zhu Mao felt that the master's mood was not right, so he shrank his neck and stood obediently in the center of the hall.

"Is there something you forgot to tell me?"

Hearing this, Zhu Mao was terrified, and quickly knelt down to apologize to Jia She.

Jia She drove away the idlers in the house, and then asked Zhu Mao: "So he moved me into the car?"

move?Obviously a hug.

Zhu Mao didn't dare to correct the master, he nodded lazily, and then explained the situation to Jia Amnesty in detail.

"The young one was afraid that the master would be angry if he found out, so he was selfish and didn't dare to say it. The young one should be damned!" Zhu Mao twitched his mouth.

Jia Amnesty knew that Zhu Mao was not to blame for this matter, but as his entourage, it was wrong not to tell the truth, so he warned him and sent him off.

Dong Sun immediately entered the door, took out a newly made plain dress, and while helping Jia She to change, he told him about the situation in the mansion in the past two months.

Jia Amnesty listened, suddenly his face changed drastically, and he turned his head to look at Dong Sun seriously: "You said that the old lady and the others are discussing to let Yuan Chun participate in the selection of the king of Qi?"

Dongsun nodded, "It seems to mean that."

Jia Amnesty immediately went to see Jia Mu.

Just now when Mother Jia heard that Jia Amnesty was back, she was a little excited. Now that she saw someone, she couldn't help but look at him, "He's a little darker and thinner, but he's more energetic. But you're really serious, why did you come back all of a sudden?" , and don’t ask someone to say hello in advance, and let the people in the mansion pick you up.”

"Why is it so troublesome, I don't like to talk about such ostentation anymore." After Jia She saluted, he sat down.

Jia Mu couldn't help saying: "You are the elder anyway. By the way, I heard that you entered the palace immediately after you came back, but you have something to report to the emperor?"

"There was an accident on the way, so I had to go to the palace to make a statement."

"What accident?" Mother Jia asked.

Jia Amnesty glanced at Jiamu, shook his head and said he couldn't speak.

Mother Jia thought about something that should be related to the court's secrets, so she stopped asking, and smiled more cordially at Jia She: "You are very interesting, since you are sent by Shengming to inspect the people's conditions, Tell us the truth, why hide it from us. I only found out from outsiders a few days ago that you are not returning to your hometown to worship your ancestors, but you are an imperial envoy to observe the people's conditions."

Jia Amnesty was a little surprised, he didn't expect the news to reach Jia's mother, so he asked her where she got the news from.Mother Jia smiled and told Jia Amnesty not to ask more questions, but said that she had her own way.

Jia Amnesty mentioned the imperial envoy three times, one in Jinling, and the other two in Baimi County and Puliu County.The latter happened just now, and it was a confidential matter, so it was impossible for Jia Mu to hear it so quickly.The only possibility is that in Jinling.For Jia Amnesty to come forward for Feng Yuan's matter, it must be Ying Tian Fu Yin Zuo Zhiqiu who spread the matter.Now that Jia's mother in Beijing knows about it, I'm afraid many local officials also know about it.

Fortunately, the inspection by the imperial envoy was just a gimmick, it was just a rhetoric for him to make things easier when he encountered difficulties, and there was nothing else to be taboo about.This matter also has the consent of the emperor, and it is not shameful.It's just that the character of Zuo Zhiqiu has been revealed now, remember that this person is, and there will be little contact with him in the future.

Then there is Jiamu's current attitude, no wonder she suddenly became so enthusiastic, it turned out that she knew that he had been ordered to be an imperial envoy.If Jia Mu was really happy for him, Jia Amnesty would not say anything, but he had a hunch that Jia Mu's selling well was not just pure happiness.

Sure enough, after all the girls had seen Jia She, Jia's mother sent away the idlers, and told Jia She about the matter of King Qi's selection of concubine.

"no!"

Originally, Jia Amnesty should have upheld his usual attitude, and would just ignore things that did not involve him with Jiamu and Erfang.But this time it was about the fate of an innocent girl for the rest of her life, so Jia Amnesty's temper came and she directly rejected Jia's mother.

Jia Mu frowned: "I haven't elaborated on this yet, why are you so open-mouthed? I know it's not appropriate to mention the eldest girl's marriage at this time, but after all, the eldest girl's age is there, we have to worry about it as soon as possible. After waiting In 25, her marriage should be settled. Otherwise, she will be [-] and become an old girl among old girls. Where else can she find a good family. The girls in our family are virtuous, filial, and talented. , is it possible to marry an ordinary family at a low level and endure hardships."

"What's wrong with being low-married, at least her natal family is tough, she won't have any anger in her husband's house. Our Duke's government will not let the married daughter be short of money, just live a smooth life. In the future If my girl gets married, I will definitely let her marry at a low price, and she will suffer in vain if she finds a rich or noble family. Who came up with the idea of ​​participating in the selection of the concubine by the King of Qi, the second younger brother or the second younger younger sister?" Jia Shen questioned.

Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, then said, "I thought of it, what's the matter!"

"Besides worrying about Baoyu, you don't have the energy to take care of anyone else." Jia She sneered, "I think the second sibling must have brought this up with you. After all, she is not reconciled, even her own flesh and blood. I don’t care about it. People can live a lifetime and be rich and healthy. If you really want to save face, you can earn it yourself, and sacrifice the rest of your own girl’s life to discredit yourself.

Jia Amnesty knew very well the virtues of King Qi, and seeing Jia Mu protecting Mrs. Wang like this, he couldn't help being furious.

"What are you swearing about, you said I came up with this idea!" Jia Mu was so angry that she became fierce at Jia Amnesty, but her mouth was still stubborn.

"Don't think that I don't know what's going on at home just after I came back." Jia She paused, and thought it was time to remind Jia's mother, "She mentioned this to you at the end of June."

Mother Jia opened her eyes slightly to express surprise. She stared blankly at Jia Amnesty for a while, and the flesh on her face twitched ferociously.As expected, her son is getting more and more promising, and he has a clear insight into the situation in the mansion just after he came back.

Mother Jia is not an idiot either, Yuan Chun's plan to participate in the selection of a concubine in Prince Qi's mansion has not yet been made up, so she can't ask people to spread it around.It's just a few people in the family, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and Jia Zheng know that there are at most a few servants with higher status.Jia Amnesty had just come back from his footing, and he knew about it before anyone had time to see him.What does this mean?The servants of Rongxitang are not vegetarians, they have already found out the matter for their master, and they just wait for the report when they come back.

Mother Jia recalled that when she was a daughter-in-law in the Rong Mansion, she played tricks, but she was not half as good as Jia She is now.But I really didn't expect that once the prodigal son turned around and really learned it well, he would be able to 'better than blue'.Mother Jia was horrified, and felt more and more that she couldn't underestimate the boss.

"This is Erfang's own business after all. I don't have the right to meddle in it, so don't meddle in it." Jia's mother knew that Jia Amnesty was now a censor and an imperial envoy, so she lowered her requirements and told him Just leave it alone.But in fact, Jia's mother still hopes that Jia Amnesty can help out at critical times.

"Talk about how the people in Prince Qi's Mansion responded." Jia She knew that Jia's mother must have worked hard on this matter, and she must have been active in recent days, otherwise her old man would not have known it from others. Let him be an imperial envoy.

Mother Jia frowned for a long while before slowly opening her mouth and said: "After all, our eldest girl is old, and his uncle is that kind of person, so Prince Qi's mansion doesn't think much about her background. I entrust the elder sisters to go Inquiring about the tone of the old concubine, after all, is it for the face of the duke of the country, saying that as long as people go, they will stay, but they must start with the concubine. As long as they can conceive and give birth to a son, they will definitely be promoted to side concubine. A concubine is definitely not possible, but a side concubine is also good, and it is also a matter of face. It's just that when entering the palace, I will be a small one first, and what a mere concubine is, I am not very willing to do this."

Jia's mother wanted to fight hard, and it would be best if Yuan Chun was directly selected as the side concubine, but she might have to ask Jia She to come forward, after all, he is the only one in the family who is the most promising.

When Jia Amnesty heard that Prince Qi's mansion had the nerve to propose such a condition, he was so angry that he simply laughed.

Jia's mother knew that Jia Amnesty's smile was not funny, so she asked him to speak quickly with a sullen face.

Jia She took a polite sip of the tea, then sighed and shook his head, "I have nothing to say. If mother is fine, please allow my son to leave first."

"You—" Jia's mother hesitated to speak, seeing that Jia She saluted herself in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and she was indifferent and unreasonable. Knowing that it was useless to talk to him now, she waved her hand. Signaled that he could go.

After Jia Amnesty left Jia Mu's courtyard, he immediately sent Zhu Mao to find Hei Zhu, he wanted to know what happened to the Qi Palace.

After returning to the dormitory, Jia Amnesty became sleepy, he was really exhausted these days, even a short sleep last night was not enough.Jia Amnesty yawned, put down the book in his hand, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up again, it was already evening, Jia Amnesty heard the faint voice of the black pig outside the courtyard, and after washing his face, he called someone in.

The black pig entered the door full of excitement, his eyes were shining brightly, and when he saw Jia She, he was so excited that he almost cried, knelt on the ground and gave Jia She a big gift.

"If you said you didn't commit a crime, you don't need to kneel. Get up quickly." Jia Amnesty then asked about the condition of the neighbor's house.

The black pig said: "It's all good. Wanfu and Fang Zhenglu have arranged everything very well. This is the follow-up to the fourth issue written by Fang Zhenglu."

The black pig took out the still warm book from his pocket and handed it over.

Jia Amnesty looked at the cover, it was still the same, but there was a small word "Fourth issue follow-up" next to the name.Jia Amnesty opened it and looked at it. Most of it was written by him before, and Fang Zhenglu added it later.Fang Zhenglu's writing level is similar to Jia Amnesty's, that is, the writing style can only explain the facts clearly, but fortunately, he upholds an objective and truthful attitude, and does not appear in his own subjective sentences.

Jia Amnesty first took a look at Wang Ziteng's case, which was basically what he knew before. Fang Zhenglu also added some comments about Wang Ziteng's temperament by some old servants of the Wang family after Wang Ziteng's temper changed drastically after the Hedong Chaos.Basically no one noticed the abnormality, and some even felt that Wang Ziteng's temperament had become better.

Jia Amnesty then watched the follow-up of the corruption case involving the head of the Dali Temple, and Song Xi did not disappoint him. From the assassins who assassinated the witnesses, he followed the clues and finally caught the mastermind behind the scenes, Dali Temple Minister.Regarding Dali Siqing's testimony, it was clearly written in the book, so it can be seen that Song Xi did not forget his instructions and handed over the testimony to Fang Zhenglu for copying.

Jia Amnesty looked at the last page again, and Fang Zhenglu did as he ordered, and informed the release date of the next issue of My Neighbor's Secrets to be August [-]th.

The fifteenth day of the seventh month of this month is Ghost Festival. According to the customs of the ancients, there are many taboos on this day.Jia Amnesty also happened to be in a hurry to go out, so he decided not to release the issue on July [-]th.

"How's the investigation at Prince Qi's Mansion?" Jia Amnesty got to the point.

Hei Zhu: "The seven insiders I developed in the Prince Qi's Mansion are all low-class maidservants who are not allowed to enter the house to serve. So far, I have only found out that a beauty surnamed Chen was pregnant in the Prince's Mansion, but it was less than three months old. By then the child will be gone.”

"What about people today?" Jia She asked.

"When I was in confinement, I got a cold and died not long after. People died of illness, there is nothing suspicious about it."

"There is no other pregnancy news?" Jia She asked.

The black pig shook his head, saying that he hadn't found it yet.Hei Zhu was still a little puzzled, since King Qi could make a woman pregnant, it should be normal, so how could he not do it.

"The news that the spies inquired may not be true. How do you know that it is not false or there are other inside stories? What's more, it is the news they heard from hearsay, which is not enough to prove anything. Don't just look at the present, but also ask about things a few years ago."

The black pig smiled wryly and said: "It's hard to check, except for some old people who are reused, all the people left in the Prince Qi's mansion are newcomers who have just joined for three or two years. And those old people left behind are serving the king of Qi and the old concubine, they are quite respectable, so it is not easy to win them over, and they are afraid that they will startle the snake by rashly pulling people over."

"It's right to be cautious," Jia Amnesty pondered for a while, "Is there any follow-up to the note I received earlier?"

The black pig shook his head, "I haven't received it again."

"I think it's inconvenient for her to go out, or her literacy is limited, so she can't write more."

Now that the investigation of Prince Qi's Mansion has come to a dead end, Jia She felt that it was necessary for him to find an opportunity to go there in person to see the Duke of Qi and his Prince Qi's mansion.

……

The next day, Song Xi came to the door and brought a lot of supplements.

This time he learned to be tactful, and came to visit Jia Mu with Jia Amnesty, and even gave a generous gift.

Seeing that Song Xi was handsome and eloquent, Jia's mother liked him in every way.It was also seen that what he sent out were all rare tributes, especially the twenty boxes of century-old ginseng, which could not be found in the market for money, so he gave so much as soon as he made a move.Mother Jia smiled from ear to ear, and spoke respectfully to Song Xi, tactfully asking him to take care of her two sons more in the officialdom.

Jia Mu specially emphasized that there are two.

Song Xi answered cleverly, and only said lightly: "It is right to take care of friends."

Jia's mother was so happy that she couldn't hold her tongue from ear to ear. No matter how she looked at it, Song Xi thought it was good, and she only regretted that she didn't give birth to such a radiant son.

Naturally, Mother Jia would not waste such a good opportunity to make friends with dignitaries, so she asked someone to call Baoyu here, and asked Baoyu to tell Baoyu in advance that she must behave well in front of Song Xi.

Jia's mother was still modest, saying that Baoyu had no talent and needed to be trained by her husband. She also said that he wrote some poems on weekdays.

As usual, the general guests would follow the conversation and ask Baoyu to write some poems to read, and then they would inevitably praise him.There is also a very high possibility that under the instigation of everyone, Shibo will be recognized as a god-in-law, or as a husband.

Who is Song Xi? He has seen the tricks of flattery and intimacy in these words, so he didn't answer Jia Mu's words.Instead, he looked at Baoyu and said with a smile: "Lansheng is in the valley, not because there are no people, but a gentleman cultivates morality and morality, and does not change his morals because of poverty. If you are willing to remember this, it will be good."

When Baoyu heard this, he was only respectful and perfunctory in his mouth, but he was not very happy in his heart.

Song Xi saw through Baoyu's dissatisfaction at a glance, didn't take it seriously, said goodbye to Jia's mother, and went to the front yard with Jia Amnesty to discuss matters.

Mother Jia only hated Baoyu for being too honest, but she couldn't bear to scold him, so she hugged him, tapped his forehead, and told him to be more alert next time he saw someone as powerful as Song Xi.

When Jia Amnesty left Jiamu's Courtyard, he squinted at Song Xi: "Have you seen it?"

Song Xi understood the meaning of Jia She's words, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said calmly, "It's not bad."

"Okay? Why don't you just be my son here, and I'll go to your house to have fun." The Song family split up after the old couple passed away. Song Xi set up his own mansion in Beijing, and the brothers all went out of town.He is really at ease in Beijing alone, and there is no one in his family to restrain him.

"I think it's interesting that your family is like this." Song Xi said.

Jia Amnesty looked at him incredulously, and smiled, thinking that he was in the midst of blessings and didn't know how to be blessed.

Song Xi said again: "Of course, if you are willing to go to my mansion, I think with your old lady's attitude, even if you live there for half a year, she will not object."

A look of helplessness appeared on Jia She's indifferent and handsome face, and he pointed to the tip of Song Xi's nose.

Song Xi laughed heartily.

When Jia She's face calmed down, he deliberately chased after him, and murmured into Jia She's ear, "I welcome you anytime."

Jia Shedun felt a little hot on his face, but his attitude became colder, and he strode forward.Song Xi was originally taller than Jia She, with longer legs, and could easily catch up with him, so he walked side by side with him with a smile on his face.Like a person who has nothing to do, tell him about the relationship with the pro-envoy.

Jia She paused: "You were sent to Beijing last night?"

Song Xi: "Naturally, these things need to be escorted secretly. Now they are locked in the dungeon of Gyeonggi Prefecture. Few people know about that place, and it is under my nose, so I won't let the news out. It is estimated that it will take another six or seven days. , the news will spread to the south. This time, in order to spread the news quickly, the emperor dedicated himself to riding a good horse, traveling thousands of miles every day."

Jia She thought about it and said: "Then count the days, when the Mid-Autumn Festival next month, there should be news of the victory."

Song Xi: "Almost."

"Although Da Zhou has won the battle, we must not slacken our efforts. If the Dayang barbarians try to make unreasonable words and bite us back, we will be at a disadvantage. We should inform the world as soon as possible that we have captured the fake Princess Baozhu."

"Well, I will report to the emperor later, and when the news of the victory comes, I will send an official notice to all places."

Jia Amnesty shook his head, "The notices of the imperial court are always too brief, only the results, and never state the specific reasons, so it is easy to be overly speculated and misunderstood. It is better to write the details in the book truthfully, Chen Qing Distributed to the whole country, generously for the people of the world to read."

Song Xi understood, and asked with a smile: "Are you planning to write this into "Secrets of My Neighbor"?"

"No, I plan to publish a new one, "Great Zhou Dynasty News"." Jia She said.
