The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

This is a familiar question. Jia Amnesty also had the same question when he chose this path last time.But the purpose of the peace mission is to hurry and complete the plan as soon as possible.As for Ding An, even if he walked slowly, he would only need two days' journey to take up the post, and there were still seven days before he took up the post, so there was nothing to worry about.

After all, Ding An is the magistrate of the county, so he will have a few servants by his side anyway.Even if he is unlucky and happens to meet a few ferocious bandits, as long as Ding An reveals his identity, any bandit with a brain knows that he should avoid suspicion at the feet of the emperor. The imperial court ordered officials.Killing an official at the emperor's feet is a major event, and it will definitely lead to the imperial court sending troops to encircle and suppress it, which is no different from self-destruction.

Jia Amnesty looked at Lin Ruhai again, "Has there been any fatalities in that forest in recent years?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head, "It's all about losing money, not life. Some of them were so angry that they lost their money on the way, but it wasn't bandits who actually did it."

"But this time, even the helpless women and children, and the attendants who fled to the mountains are not spared. It's not like bandits running away when they get rich, but more like a long-planned murder. And it's a bloodthirsty revenge of the worst kind."

Jia Amnesty's words immediately got the approval of Liu Zhizhong, Lin Ruhai and others.

"Then if the presumption of deliberate murder is true, the murderer will definitely find a secluded place to commit the crime. He must have arranged this place in advance, and the traps he set up earlier also show this. Then why did Ding An choose to leave? This road was led into a trap by the murderer, there must be something inside."

Jia She felt that this was a breakthrough point. Once the cause of this incident was found out, it would not be far to find out who the murderer was.

The head of Leyang Village, where Jia Amnesty and others were stationed, heard the news and rushed over. He took the children of the village with him, and brought a lot of food, wine and tea.

Qin Zhonglu is in charge of reception.Seeing that the village head was nearly [-] years old with snow-white hair, he hurriedly thanked him and asked them to give them money according to the amount.

The village head, Cen Wang, thanked the village with a smile, and said politely: "If you have something for our villagers to contribute to, please feel free to mention it. The grass people will lead the villagers to do our best, and we will die."

Qin Zhonglu smiled and asked him to go back earlier to rest.

The village chief agreed with a smile, and when he took the villagers out, he saw the officials helping with things, so he hurriedly asked the children around him to do it, and introduced his son Cen Laide to them.

"This kid is simple and honest, strong and strong. If you officials and adults need to lead the way and run errands and carry heavy objects, you can just use him." Cen Wang said enthusiastically.

Seeing that the old village chief was so polite, all the officials hurriedly thanked him and sent him away one after another.

Jia Amnesty looked at the situation outside distractedly, and seeing Qin Zhonglu entering, he ordered everyone to rest early.I haven't seen the specific situation now, and I have too many doubts, so it's hard to make other speculations.The specifics will have to wait until tomorrow to compare the death location of the corpse and observe the entire scene of the field.

In the early morning of the next day, the carriage of Jia She and his party stopped at the edge of the dense forest.

Therefore, the bodies of the victims had already been restrained as early as last night, and they were carried into the temporary tent.It was already warm spring at this time, and there were many animals in the woods. If the corpses were allowed to spend the night in the woods, they might lose one or two yuan the next day, so it was necessary to collect them as soon as possible and put them together for guarding.

Jia Amnesty followed Wu Zuo into the tent, and immediately there was a bad smell of blood blowing towards his face.Afterwards, a Yacha took off the straw mat covering the corpse.

Jia Amnesty squinted his phoenix eyes slightly, glanced roughly, and asked which one was Ding An, and was pointed to a man whose whole body was covered in blood and flesh.When Jia She saw it, his stomach started to churn. The chest and abdomen of the corpse were almost cut to pieces, turning red and black.Jia Shen deliberately took a second look and noticed that his knees, arms, and back were covered with dirt.When he saw the child's body again, Jia She frowned and turned his head away, unable to bear to continue watching.

"Four family members, three children, besides Ding An, there are nine family members." Wei Qingdong reported to Jia Shehui in a calm tone.

Seeing that it was Wei Qingdong, Jia She suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to call him.After greetings, I found out that Hu Wenyao, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, had sent him here.Wei Qingdong arrived before dawn, carried a lantern to inspect the scene of the crime, and re-examined the body.

Hu Wenyao's affection, Jia Amnesty still has the essentials.

Jia Amnesty knew in his heart that Hu Wenyao was afraid that the emperor would blame the Ministry of Criminal Justice for being unfavorable for the late news, so he deliberately sent Wei Qingdong, who had a relationship with Jia Amnesty, here to help.As long as Jia Amnesty affirms Wei Qingdong's contribution, then the Ministry of Punishment will be spared the trouble of being blamed.

Jia Amnesty lamented that Hu Wenyao was calculating, but at the same time had to be convinced by his arrangement.

"Seventeen corpses in total?" When Jia She got the news in Beijing, there were 16 of them, so he asked for confirmation.

"The last one was found by the yamen who searched the mountain when it was just dark yesterday. Maybe the adults had already left when they moved back, so they didn't know about it." Wei Qingdong explained.

Jia Amnesty nodded in agreement, signaling Wei Qingdong to continue.

Wei Qingdong took the record book in his hand and took Jia Amnesty to the scene of the crime.

Because the crime took place deep in the woods, everyone rode horses and advanced at a high speed, and it took about a stick of incense to arrive.If you take a horse-drawn carriage, the time will be about twice as long.And if it was replaced by a person who was in distress in this place and ran on the road with only his legs, it would probably take nearly an hour.This is still on the premise that you must run on the road. If you are entering the forest and are not familiar with the terrain, it is easy to get lost, let alone an hour, even a day.

After Wei Qingdong dismounted, he pointed to the big deep hole in the middle of the cut-off road. "There are two carriages, and the first one fell into this trap."

Jia Amnesty then saw that there was still a car on the road, but the horse was gone, so he asked if someone from the yamen had taken the horse away.

The Yacha hurriedly replied: "No, when the younger ones came, it was already like this. Later, I asked the local police who guarded the scene, and they said they didn't see it."

"Who is the reporter?"

"The poor people who come here to dig wild vegetables in the mountains are poor and hungry. Even if they meet bandits, they will not rob them, so these people are not afraid of this, and often come to this dense forest to find some wild vegetables and mushrooms." replied.

"Is it possible that the informant took the horse?" Liu Zhizhong asked.

The Yacha said: "It should not be. At that time, four or five people were together. They were so scared that they lost their souls when they saw so many people died on the road. They ran together and called to report the crime. They lived a few days outside the forest. In Leyang Village in Lidi, everyone is clanging poorly, if you take a horse back, it will definitely attract attention."

"It's just that it's impossible to lead a horse. You still have to ask and check if you have taken your belongings."

Jia Amnesty sent two yamen servants to interrogate, and asked the other four yamen servants to change into plain clothes to monitor and follow up to see if the reporters were really clean.After all, they are poor and courageous people. It is human nature to see that there is property on the dead person and take it away.Jia Amnesty didn't mean to blame them too much, but the details cannot be ignored, and they will be used as the basis for deciding the case.

Jia She then circled around the deep pit in the middle of the road with his hands behind his back.There were pools of blood on the ground at the edge of the pit, indicating that someone had died here.In the deep pit, there was a carriage that fell head-on, and the horse was crushed at the bottom, probably because it had broken its neck and died.After being placed overnight last night, the horse has some marks of being bitten by animals.There are two other blackened bloodstains under the pit, which should be left by people.

Jia Amnesty turned to look at the horse-drawn carriage, the surroundings were clean, and the inside of the carriage was also clean.Then there was a pool of blood in the middle of the road about seven or eight feet away from the pit.Then there are the traps on the side of the road, there are six in total, none of them are as big as the pit in the middle of the road where the carriage fell into, but they can fall to death.These traps were supposed to be covered with dead leaves of turf, so after the collapse, some turf fell to the bottom of the pit.There were sharpened bamboos buried under each pit, and there were bloodstains in three pits, and another hole was stepped on, and it seemed that only one leg sank in, and finally pulled out.In order to protect the scene, the yacha made some thorny branches and piled them on top, and also planted twigs around them as a warning.

The other two pits were discovered during the search by the yamen's officers. They were accidentally trampled open, and all the sharp bamboos inside were taken out by hand.

Wei Qingdong continued to explain: "The carriages are just as you saw. There are two carriages in total. The first carriage fell into the trap. There were four corpses in the pit. Two of them were servants. One leg was crushed by the carriage, and the other was hit by the head. , and were killed by bow and crossbow shooting arrows. Two men, the youngest was nine years old, directly twisted his neck and fell to death. The older one was 15 years old. The three servants who died by the trap were also stab wounds, two were killed by a knife on the neck, and the other was killed on the back, corresponding to the three pools of blood respectively."

Wei Qingdong pointed to the one on the edge of the pit.

Jia Amnesty found that two pools of blood were relatively close to each other, and the other pool was about five or six meters away from the edge of the pit.

"Among the fleeing female relatives, two fell into roadside traps and were directly stabbed to death by sharpened bamboos at the bottom of the pit. The other was supposed to be Ding An's wife, who took her daughter to the slope over there. The two girls were killed by being stabbed into the abdomen by a knife while leaning against the root of the tree, and the last maid was shot to death by a crossbow on the way to escape.

Of the remaining four servants, one was shot to death by a crossbow in the middle of the road, and the other was also caught in a trap and stabbed to death by bamboo.Two of them ran into the mountains, but one didn't run very far, and was killed by an arrow in the leg.There was another person who ran deep, that is, the one who was discovered by searching the mountain later. He was shot by an arrow in the buttocks and in the head, and died by shooting with a crossbow.But judging from the condition of the wound, he should have died an hour or two later than the previous ones.The presumed time of death of all the corpses mentioned above is probably from the afternoon to the evening of the day before yesterday.Except for Ding An who was tied to a tree, he died only yesterday morning. "

Wei Qingdong led Jia She down the mountain, and then down a slope, pointing to the sycamore tree whose trunk was already stained with black blood.

The thickness of the trunk is just right for binding people backhands.

Jia She's face was serious, remembering that when he saw the corpse just now, he found the excessive killing on Ding An's body.

It's even more certain that this is a vendetta.

"There is no result from searching the mountain?" Jia Amnesty turned to Liu Zhizhong.

Liu Zhizhong shook his head.

Jia Amnesty: "Then step up the investigation, and pay special attention to places where there is water. He killed so many people, and his body must be covered with blood. If he doesn't wash it, he will just walk out covered in blood. , will certainly attract attention."

Liu Zhizhong hurriedly agreed, then hesitated for a moment, looked at Jia She: "According to your lord, there is only one murderer?"

"Yes." Jia Amnesty affirmed.

Everyone looked surprised, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"One person? No matter how strong a man is, it is impossible to kill seventeen people neatly at the same time. Seriously, these nine servants are all quite strong, even if one person has a stick, he can be beaten half-mutilated."

Then someone looked at Wei Qingdong, who was the most experienced official in the imperial court, and wanted to see what his judgment was.

Wei Qingdong looked at Jia Amnesty suspiciously, frowned and said, "Master Jia said it was done by one person, but it is not impossible."

"He planned and set up so many traps in order to make things happen."

Jia Amnesty paced back and led the crowd to the big pit in the middle of the road.

"First, Ding An's carriage fell into the pit. If he fell like this, some people would die, and some people would be knocked to the point of fainting, crushing their bodies, and making it difficult for them to move. The rest of the servants will definitely come to visit and rescue them when they see this. At this time, the murderer was standing behind the servants. Anyway, he used some method to make these people trust him and not be on guard against him. Taking advantage of the servant's distraction, he took out the knife he had prepared in advance, He killed two of them directly first, and the other was probably scared out of his wits. When he slowed down and ran a few steps, he slashed him on the back.

At this time, the murderer also prepared another killing tool, a bow and crossbow, which may be hidden on the body, or it may be hidden in the grass nearby.He should have a very accurate shooting ability.If the whole thing was planned by him alone, then it is not uncommon for him to learn the bow and crossbow earlier to prepare for it.

The first one to shoot after the murderer should be the boy who ran the furthest along.As for the rest of the people, especially the female relatives who were in the car at the beginning, when they saw such a murder scene, their first reaction would be to run into the mountains.He dug traps on both sides of the road in this area in advance, and the traps worked successfully, reducing the number of fleeing people by half. He shot the men first with a bow and crossbow, leaving a pair of mother and daughter naturally easy to deal with.As for the two boys in Dajin's pit, they were inconvenient to move because of the impact, so they were dealt with directly with bows and crossbows.The youngest son died directly, while the eldest son was seriously injured. It should have been when the murderer jumped down at the end that he was stabbed.

And Ding An, no accident, should also be one of the people who fell into the deep pit.Generally, when people go out by car, the owner's car must be in front.And looking at the large amount of mud sticking to his body, it can be seen that he must have been dragged out of the pit by someone, and then tied to the tree. "

After hearing Jia Amnesty's explanation, Wei Qingdong nodded and echoed, "I am more inclined to what Mr. Jia said. When I checked the wounds, I also felt that the wounds on everyone's bodies were very similar. It seemed that they were from one person. And if there are many murderers, it will be easier to kill, the corpses will be gathered together in a small area, it will not be like now, there are signs of running around, and there will be some differences in the wounds. "

"So many people were killed by only one person, then this is too..." Liu Zhizhong widened his eyes in shock, and couldn't help feeling, "I thought it would take five or six people to kill so many people." OK."

The rest of the people sighed and expressed their disbelief.It's terrifying that there are such vicious and vicious people in this world!

"Looking at Ding An's body, you can tell how deep the murderer's hatred for him is. This must be a deep long-cherished wish. The murderer probably grew up in hatred, planning a day and preparing for a long time." Jia She said.

Lin Ruhai twirled his beard and nodded, he felt that what Jia She said made sense.He admired such a flexible mind.

"I don't know if there is anyone in the yamen who is good at tracking in the mountains and forests. If not, I will find a way to find some hunters to help me see if I can find the escape route of the murderer based on the traces in the forest. Close the road, close the mountain, No one is allowed to enter until the case is solved!"

"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands in agreement with Jia Amnesty.

After Jia Amnesty finished his orders, he mounted his horse and told Wei Qingdong that if he found any clues after re-examination of the corpse, he must inform him at the right time.

Wei Qingdong bowed his hands respectfully, and watched Jia Amnesty go.Lin Ruhai, Liu Zhizhong, etc. also left, and all follow-up matters were handed over to Wei Qingdong, who has now been promoted to the chief criminal officer.

When Jia Amnesty rode to the east gate of the capital, he happened to see a young man wearing a brocade robe waiting there on a horse. This man was Heng Shu.

Jia Amnesty guessed that the matter had something to do with Song Xi, so he signaled Lin Ruhai to go back first without waiting for him.

Lin Ruhai and Liu Zhizhong nodded to Jia Amnesty, and led the rest of them into the city.

Hengshu got off his horse and greeted Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty told him not to stick to this, but to talk about things quickly.

Heng Shu said with a smile: "Our master is back. The first thing he did when he arrived in Beijing was to go to the Rong Mansion to greet Mr. Jia. He didn't want Mr. Jia to be away. Now that he has returned to the palace, he asked the younger one to wait here. I'll give you a message. Please tell me a place, let me pass the message, and he will come to you cheaply later, so as not to bump into you again."

Jia Amnesty understood that Song Xi was afraid of finding the wrong place and then rushing to nothing.After thinking about it, he said to him, "I'm going back home."

"Okay, young one, tell our master to go." Heng Shu apologized, then said goodbye to Jia She, and hurriedly rode his horse into the city gate.

Rushing a servant into such a hurry shows how anxious Song Xi was urging him.

Jia Amnesty chuckled and raised his eyebrows.He didn't wait patiently for him in vain, this guy still knows how to miss him, so he can forgive him for leaving without saying goodbye.

Since Ding An's case is confirmed to be a vendetta, it must have something to do with his previous history.

After Jia Amnesty returned to Rongfu, he ordered the black pig to send people to investigate everything about Ding An.

"He has been the county magistrate in Maxin County for more than ten years. During that time, he must have done some hateful things. Whether it is at home or not, he will collect everything he can find out."

The black pig took the order and went immediately.

Jia Amnesty remembered the one who had the emperor ground the third prince and asked him to go to Yushitai to hand in his homework every day.Two days ago, when I heard that the third prince's handover was one day late, Jia Amnesty ignored it. Now that he was free, he wanted to ask.Just as he was about to get up and go to Yushitai, he remembered what Song Xi said, and told Zhu Mao to wait at home. If anyone came, just let him wait.

After Jia Amnesty arrived at Yushitai, he asked about the situation, and learned that the third prince had delayed delivery for three days because he was sick.Jia Amnesty felt that since he was ill, he couldn't embarrass the third prince too much, just hand it over.I flipped through the article casually, and suddenly felt familiar.

A few days ago, Haina Baichuan received a new article on state governance written by a group of great Confucians.Jia Amnesty went through the manuscript himself before ordering it to be printed.Unfortunately, one of them was exactly the same as the third prince's.

Moreover, because Jia Amnesty always reads the third prince's articles, he can easily recognize his writing style and word habits.Others may not notice it, but Jia She can tell this aspect at a glance.This time it was obviously plagiarized by the third prince!

The articles written by the third prince will be compiled into a book every ten days and handed over to the emperor for reading.So the third prince didn't dare to fool around with the content of this article, but he couldn't write any more, so he probably asked his subordinates to get some articles, and copied them out by himself.The result may be that his subordinate was lazy and inattentive, and stole articles from others to make up for it.

Originally, in this situation, most people met the prince's name, and there was no evidence to prove that they did it first, so they would be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, not daring to admit it.But Jia Amnesty had already printed his article in the book this time, so it was easy to distinguish the time difference.

Jia Amnesty would definitely not give face to the third prince, so he directly sent Yushi Liang Leyun to help write the memorabilia, and then attached the original book to participate in the melody.

Jia Amnesty originally thought that this book had passed the barrier of the Hall of Martial Arts, and it would not be placed on the emperor's table until tomorrow.So he ordered a few chores at Yushitai, sent a few replies from his subordinates, and was about to leave.Unexpectedly, he heard a summons at this time, and the emperor wanted him to enter the palace.

Jia Amnesty thought about Song Xi, that's all, if he really arrived at Rong Mansion first, just let him wait.I have waited for him for so many days and never complained, so what is he afraid of later.

Jia Amnesty then went to meet the emperor.Originally, if this matter was explained clearly, it could come out.Unexpectedly, the emperor blamed the third prince for the crime of deceiving the emperor, so he was so angry that he must be dealt with severely.

But the emperor was interested, so he decided to take Jia She to visit his mansion in person, to see what the youngest son of his family was doing at home behind closed doors, it was so 'interesting' that he didn't even write an article.

How could Jia She go against the holy will, so he went to the residence of the third prince.The emperor kept a low profile, and from the moment he entered the mansion, he signaled all the people in Wei Wang's mansion to give notice.Moreover, he was afraid that someone would pass on the news, and he asked the guards around him to keep an eye on these people.

The emperor asked where the third prince was going, and when he heard that he was in some blessed place in the back garden, the emperor asked someone to lead the way immediately.

Then Jia Amnesty remembered that when Song Xi brought him here last time, he had hinted at the beauty of this blessed land.It seems that now that this matter has come, it was really calculated by Song Xi.

Jia Amnesty also became interested, wanting to see what Song Xi's "sell-off" was like back then.

Jia Amnesty followed the emperor into the artificial mountain forest, and then walked forward along the delicate path thrown out by the gravel.After a while, I heard the shout of the third prince from inside.

"General Changsheng, go up and down!"

"General Zhen Guo, you can't give in and attack him by surprise!"

When Jia She heard this, he could easily guess that the three princes were probably fighting crickets.Just such a small hobby, is it worth thinking that he doesn't even have time to write an article every day?

Anyway, for Jia She, writing articles is more interesting than fighting crickets.So he really didn't understand that the third prince would give up such an interesting thing as playing with bugs.

The emperor naturally heard the way, and immediately blew his beard and rushed forward in twos and threes.

In the fake cave, the floor was covered with mats and delicate cushions, the third prince Muruijiong was sitting on it with his back to the entrance of the cave, opposite was a small huanghuali table with short legs and a emerald green jade pot on it.Because there are scattered sunlight shining in the cave.The jar is in the position where the sun shines, it is crystal clear.Muruijiong was sitting in a dark place, so that he could see the crickets fighting inside without delaying his sight.While hanging his head, smiling happily, he fiddled with the crickets inside with a straw stick, while instructing the eunuchs who were catching crickets in the cave, telling them to catch the fattest and strongest crickets.

The little eunuchs all pouted their buttocks, carrying pots and tools, looking for crickets in the crevices of the stones.The emperor came, but they didn't look at it, they still promised the third prince very hard, and continued to look for it with their buttocks pouted.The eunuch standing next to the third prince saw the emperor, and immediately his legs softened and he wanted to kneel down, but was glared fiercely by the emperor's long eyes.He kept shaking his legs slightly, grinning fearfully, and froze there quietly, not daring to make too many mistakes.

The emperor slowly approached Muruijiong, leaned slightly to look at the two crickets in his jar.Then he suddenly picked up the jar, threw it on the ground and smashed it to pieces, trampling the two crickets to death.

"I fuck you—" Muruijiong was so excited by the sudden change that he opened his mouth to curse, and then looked up to see the emperor, his face faded from fright.

"Long live father!" Murui shuddered, and quickly knelt down to pay respects to the emperor.

"Long live, with a son like you, I'm about to die of anger!" The emperor snorted coldly.

The eunuch Dai Quan hurriedly said auspicious words at this time, saying that the emperor would live a happy life and stay young forever.

The emperor sneered, but his tone softened, telling Dai Quan not to say such foolish words.Everyone is mortal, and he knows this kind of thing very clearly.That's why he has requirements and expectations for the heirs of the emperor.

The emperor glanced at the third prince coldly, frowned, turned around and left.

Seeing that the emperor didn't even bother to scold him, Murui knew that he was really angry this time.Crying and kowtowing, she crawled over and hugged the emperor's thigh.

"Father, son, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't be obsessed with fighting crickets. It's all because there are so many fat crickets in this blessed place, screaming and screaming every day, so that I don't have the heart to study, and I just focus on fighting them. This son Order people to demolish the blessed land of the cave." After Muruijiong wept, he suddenly caught sight of Jia She is here from the corner of his eye, and seeing Jia She's indifferent and indifferent expression, he suddenly felt angry, and then thought of Song Xi , suddenly realized, "Father, my son must have been tricked. Song Xi knew that his son loves to fight crickets, so he deliberately built such a——"

The emperor originally thought that Muruijiong was sincerely admitting his mistakes, so he listened patiently, but he didn't realize his behavior, why there were so many crickets in the "cave heaven and a blessed place", and even blamed Song Xi who was worrying about building the mansion for him.The emperor couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his leg and kicked Muruijiong down in anger.

"You bastard, I don't have a son like you!" the emperor said, and walked away.

The third prince fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and crying out for pain, shouting that he was wrong, he thought that his father would be distressed if he pityed his father so badly.But he didn't expect his father to leave in such a ruthless way. How is this possible?

"Father, Father, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to write a hundred more articles, but I don't want to give a thousand..."

Jia Amnesty couldn't hear the shouts after that.Because the emperor walked very fast, he also walked very fast.

The emperor walked to the lake in one breath, raised his head casually, and saw the Yunxue Pavilion on the other side of the lake.

"The third lady has let me down. The eunuchs taught him etiquette, righteousness, and shame at a young age, but he ate it all in the stomach of a dog. He didn't learn anything useful. I knew he had disrespected Mu Lin a long time ago, and he It wasn't from the empress, the position was different, and it was understandable not to be close to Mu Lin, so he endured it all the time and didn't say anything to him.

Now Mu Lin doesn't care about suspicion, in order to supervise the construction of such a beautiful and comfortable mansion for him, it can be said that he has spent all his ingenuity.Just looking at the Yunxue Pavilion, one can also see the expectations of an elder for the younger generation.Not only did he not study, but he transformed the place into a place of entertainment.Now he is playful and hides in the cracks of the rocks to catch crickets, but Lai Mulin delays his progress.That makes sense!Such a muddleheaded bastard who doesn't know right from wrong and has no benevolence at all, how can he be worthy of being the crown prince of my Great Zhou! "

As soon as the emperor said these words, the hearts of the accompanying palace people were all shaken. They didn't show it on the surface, but they all remembered the words in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The third prince is still young. Maybe he is just playing around for a while. If you teach him more, you may be able to change it." Jia She persuaded him symbolically.

The emperor sneered, and glanced at Jia She: "Okay, you don't need to persuade him. I can see clearly how much he weighs today!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he hurriedly got up and drove back to the palace.

Jia Amnesty immediately rushed back to Rong Mansion, but when he heard that Song Xi was coming, he went home after waiting for nearly two hours.Jia Amnesty was about to go to the Song Mansion, but was told by Zhu Mao that Jia Zhen was here.

"What's the matter with you?" Jia Amnesty entered the Rongxi Hall and asked Jia Zhen who was waiting for him.

Jia Zhen hurriedly put down her teacup and stood up, "Recently, "Secrets of My Neighbor" has not done any good deeds in my name, do you think they forgot about the money I gave them, just do it once to fool me, and the rest I'm going to be greedy."

"Probably not." Jia Amnesty glanced at Jia Zhen, "there hasn't been any disasters recently, where do you want them to send the money. It's better to spend the money wisely at the most critical moment. Besides, you gave the money away , Believe it or not, you have to believe it, by the way, wait for the news, why bother about these things."

Jia Zhen chuckled, "It's not because of this, I came to see you today for something else. Can you still contact the author?"

"Everyone in the world knows it, but you don't? No!" Jia She immediately vetoed it, "Why do you ask this?"

"I'm going to make a marriage for Rong'er, and I don't know if the other party is good. I was thinking that if you can still contact the author of the book, let him look it up for me because of the money I gave them before. The result You really broke up with the scholar, alas, this is a dead end!" Jia Zhen smacked her lips regretfully.

"Then you go to Marriage Square and explain the situation, and the people there will help you pass the news to the scholar." Jia She said.

"But what should I do if I need money? I heard that there are people who specialize in spying on the nobles, and the charges are very expensive. I'm short on money recently, and I don't have that much spare money." Jia Zhen looked at Jia Amnesty pitifully, and sighed .Last year, the crops of the Zhuangzi under the name of Ningfu were mediocre, and the New Year was a bit extravagant, but the accountant complained to him after the new year.

"You'll know when you go and talk about it. They may not be greedy for your money. After I finish talking, I still have something to go." Jia Amnesty said hurriedly.

Jia Zhen looked reluctant, "You are so busy every day, I haven't bothered you for a long time. It's so easy to discuss something with you, look at you."

"How did I hear that the You family's mother and daughter came again during the Chinese New Year, and you still haven't the heart to send them away?" Jia Amnesty asked again, remembering.

Jia Zhen's face immediately changed, "Look at you, where are you thinking? I've already given up that thought, even if I have an idea, I don't dare to stare at you with so many eyes."

"Give it a try and see if "Secrets Next Door" will blow you away." Jia Amnesty smiled.

"I really don't dare! It's Mrs. You who is trying to get engaged to Jia Rong. She is afraid that she will complain if she can't do well as a second wife, so she keeps Mrs. You and the others here to help as advisers." Jia Zhen explained hastily.

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zhen's expression, and it seemed that nothing happened so far.

"But once the time goes by and you see too much, it's hard to protect your fault. I advise you to be the head of the Jia family seriously and establish a good atmosphere. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that one day I will disgrace you and drive you out. Go to Jinling to farm."

Jia Zhen stared round her eyes, she was very angry at first, and then she immediately lost her temper.He thought about it carefully, Jia Amnesty really has this ability, he is now a first-rank official, Mr. Yushi doctor, he can speak in front of the imperial court, and I heard that the emperor attaches great importance to his words.Once Jia Amnesty despises him and reads a copy of him, he will probably have to take off his high hat in the Ningguo Mansion.It is really just around the corner for him to return to Jinling to farm.

Jia Zhen quickly smiled at Jia Amnesty.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to my uncle, but what should I do?" Jia Zhen was a little confused.

"I will write a method for you to refer to later, you try to do it carefully one by one. Anyway, don't hold me back, Lord Patriarch!" Jia She said

"Don't dare to play!"

Jia Zhen glanced at Jia She fearfully, then nodded honestly, and before leaving, she repeatedly stated that she really didn't want to go back to the "backcountry" like Jinling.Whoever is used to spending money in a big place still wants to go to a small place.

Jia Amnesty smiled, but he didn't expect such a casual threat to be quite effective.So it is really beneficial to be a high-ranking official.

Jia Amnesty finally went out and went to the Song Mansion.

After he arrived at the Song Mansion, he heard that Song Xi was not there.

Jia Amnesty couldn't help but sigh with emotion, unexpectedly meeting him would be quite a twists and turns.But he didn't go anywhere else anymore, and just waited for him in the Song Mansion.Jia Amnesty didn't ask Song Xi where he was going, he just sent the servant in the mansion to inform Song Xi, telling him to remember to come back to find him after finishing his work.

Jia Amnesty was sitting in Song Xi's study, reviewing the records in the notebook he carried with him while sorting out the case.He now lacks a character relationship table about Ding An.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Jia Amnesty thought it was Song Xi, but when he looked up, he saw that his family had come, presenting Ding An's county annals when he was an official in Maxin County.A total of more than ten years, Jia She happened to have time, so he slowly started to read from the beginning.When he was about to see, he realized that the room had already been lit and the sky was already dark.Jia She shook his sore neck, looked outside, and asked Zhu Mao what time it was.

Zhu Mao looked sleepy, and was dozing with his head down. Hearing Jia She's words, he suddenly regained his energy. Then he said to Jia She with a bitter face, "Master, the clapper has already struck the third watch."

Jia Amnesty collected the things on the table, expecting that Song Xi hadn't come back by this time, otherwise someone would have interrupted him.Jia Amnesty felt strange, so he asked Zhu Mao to find out where Song Xi had gone.

After a while, Zhu Mao came back and said to Jia She, "It is said that he has entered the palace again."

"Yeah." Jia Amnesty stretched his waist, planning to sleep in the study and let Zhu Mao sleep outside.

Zhu Mao watched Jia She hesitate to speak.

Jia She turned to look at him: "What else do you have to say?"

"The little one has long since developed the habit of inquiring for news when things happen. He was talking too much just now, and asked a few more questions. He said that this time the eunuch is not the one who usually delivers the decree for the saint, nor the one for the empress. His face is strange. I asked about his appearance carefully, and from the description, he looked like the little eunuch Wei Wuzhi who passed the message to the master for the third princess last time."
