Infrastructure masters in the red building

When Jia Fang received the news from Jingzhong asking him to go back to the Grand View Garden as soon as possible, he was waiting for Shui Xian—Shui Xian came back from Pingnan Daying, so he went directly to Xiaoyuan Industrial Park, and he happened to miss it.

As a result, Jia Fang had no choice but to leave an urgent letter for Shui Xian, explaining roughly what happened in Jingzhong, and agreed that he would return to Taoyuan Village as soon as the matter in Jingzhong was dealt with.

Back in the Grand View Garden, Jia Fang opened the gate of Daoxiang Village and saw the figure of the old emperor first, and other people such as Ning Rong Ergong, the eldest prince, Xia Shengshen and others were there.

Xia Shengshen had never known the secrets in the Grand View Garden, but seeing Jia Fang suddenly walk out of Daoxiang Village, his eyes widened in shock, his white beard trembled, but he couldn't utter a word.

Jia Fang didn't care about the boss's surprise anymore, and when he saw the person in front of him, he first asked how the situation was.

"I'm near the Ouxiangxie right now," said Jia She, who was familiar with the directions of buildings in all directions in the Grand View Garden, so it was perfect for him to explain to Jia Fang the location of the Fifth Prince.

"He said that there is water on all sides and there are windows everywhere, so it is safer for him." Jia She explained the reason why the fifth prince chose the lotus root.

Jia Fang could only smile wryly, thinking that this person must have never seen the power of rifled firecrackers.

"But you have to be careful, that... that one is very excited. His Royal Highness is always with him..." Jia She whispered, his eyes slipped to the "big shots" around him, as if he finally realized that his words were too loud. Come on, it's getting a bit rough.

But the others nodded when they heard it.His Majesty the Emperor sighed, and said, "This little Wu...Fang'er really needs to be more careful."

Jia Fang really didn't expect that the fifth prince was defeated so quickly in Beijing, let alone that he kidnapped the fourth prince after his defeat, and ran to the Rongguo Mansion under the strict surveillance of the Beijing camp guards and the five city soldiers and horses. When Daguanyuan came, he kept saying that he wanted to see him.

"Alright...I'm also going to see him." Jia Fang straightened his clothes.He has a "bulletproof vest" recently produced by Xiaoyuan Industrial Park under his clothes, but the only shortcoming is that he can't protect his head and face.If the fifth prince hit him on the forehead, he would definitely not be as lucky as his two fathers.

But Jia Fang has a reason to go to see him: the fourth brother is still in the hands of the other party, and Jia Fang has to ask where the other fifth prince got those firecrackers and handguns.

He said that he would go to the Lotus Champs right away.The old emperor stared at him blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, His Majesty turned his head and said, "Go, protect yourself!"

"My knees are withered, the second and third are gone, and now there are only a few of you... This is my sin - but I insist on retribution on your generation..."

His voice choked and he couldn't continue.Jia Fang nodded quickly, and said: "...I will save you." After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands, identified the road, and went to Ouxiangxie.

The eldest prince rushed up from behind him with a stride, and said, "Brother will go with you!"

The first prince called "Big Brother" so naturally, Jia Amnesty next to him had no choice but to take a step back, pouted his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.

However, Jia Fang persuaded the eldest prince and asked him to stay with the emperor - after all, there are only brothers left in the family, and it is impossible for others to take it all together.

The lotus root Xiangxie is a building built together with Nuanxiangwu. As the fifth prince said, this waterside pavilion is built in the pool, with windows on all sides, winding corridors on the left and right, and bridges on the front and back, connecting to the shore across the water.

At this moment, all the windows on all sides were opened, and one could clearly see the Fifth Prince and the Fourth Prince sitting in the water pavilion facing each other.If Jia Fang didn't know the previous situation, he might think that the two cousins ​​were sitting opposite each other for a drink and enjoying the beautiful scenery together.

But at this moment, the truth is tense. The fifth prince is sitting opposite the fourth prince, with his firecracker in his sleeve all the time. It seems that as long as there is a little movement outside, the fourth prince will die on the spot just like the guard of the Eastern Palace earlier. .

Jia put it outside the lotus root, bowed his hands, and said loudly: "Your Highness Fourth, Your Highness Fifth, Jia Fang is here."

The fourth prince smiled immediately: "Zi Fang!" He seemed to have put life and death aside, talking and laughing as he wanted.

But the fifth prince didn't even turn his head, and said coldly: "Go to the bamboo bridge!" There is a bamboo bridge in front of the waterside pavilion.

"Don't play tricks, I'm listening!"

Jia Fang went up the bridge as he said, and he heard "squeaks", and the bamboo bridge made a sound with his footsteps.If it is normal, this is the rustic charm of the garden, but at this juncture, it has become the way for the fifth prince to identify his movements.

If someone wanted to take advantage of Jia Fang's opportunity to get on the bridge and follow Jia Fang into the lotus root Xiangxie, the fifth prince would easily find out.

Jia was placed in the water pavilion, and the fifth prince didn't give him a chance to speak, and pointed directly to his side: "Sit!" With a movement of his sleeves, the shiny pistol in his hand was exposed, silently threatening.

Jia Fang sat down as he said, and asked first: "How is the Fourth Highness?"

The fifth prince seemed very irritable. He didn't like Jia Fang speaking without authorization, so he "hush" angrily.

The fourth prince looked at Jia Fang, and nodded slightly, his eyes showed a bit of gratitude, but also a bit of blame.Jia Fang knew what he was blaming, but Jia Fang himself had a reason to come.

Three people were sitting in the lotus root champagne, and one of them was missing, which was a bit weird.

Outside the water pavilion, the guards in the palace, the guards of the Rong Mansion, and teams of people are all staring at them from a distance.But they have all been ordered. In order to ensure the safety of the fourth prince and Jia Fang, they must not go beyond the threshold.

"Your Highness Fifth, if you have anything to say, you may wish to speak directly." Jia Fang turned his head to look at the fifth prince, but saw that this prince was also looking at him seriously.

"Actually, between the two of us, it's not certain who is ranked fifth and who is ranked sixth, right?" The fifth prince asked Jia Fang with his eyes slightly squinted.

Jia Fang was puzzled, he hadn't figured out how the cousins ​​were ranked in this time and space, at least on the Ningrong Second Mansion's side, Jia Jing had never been involved in the Rong Mansion's ranking.

But the fourth prince suddenly understood: "Ah Heng, you and Zi Fang were actually... born in the same year, the same month, and the same day? But I remember, I remember..."

He remembered that the fifth brother and Jia Fang talked about their age in this Grand View Garden, and the fifth brother was older than Jia Fang by a month.Who knew it wasn't true?

Thinking about it now, Fifth Brother may have deliberately concealed it.And all his malice towards Jia Fang may have come from the coincidence of the two people's birthdays - the same person has different fate, which caused the fifth prince to have an innate hatred for Jia Fang, and even the Rongguo Mansion, which was ordered by the emperor to adopt Jia Fang, He also endured the unreasonable hatred of the Fifth Prince.

However, who in the royal family really cared about the fifth brother's birthday?

Hearing what the fourth prince said, the fifth prince suddenly smiled, but his smile was a bit uglier than crying——

"I've always wondered what point I'm not as good as you, Jia Fang?"

"It wasn't until later that I figured it out. It turned out that I was not as good as you in reincarnation..."

Jia Fang was speechless.

But he can understand the other party's mood. If the two were indeed born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, and came to this world with both feet, their fates are very different.

But Jia Fang rejects this "only family background theory". He is not the original soul in this body. Even after he came to this world, everything he has and achievements are inseparable from his own efforts. .

But at this moment, Jia Fang is inconvenient to refute, the fifth prince can always think that he is "acting good when he gets a bargain".

"However, now should be the time for you two to compete!" The fifth prince looked at the two in front of him, narrowed his eyes slightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with an attitude that had nothing to do with him, "Boss has never had a sacred heart. The sister-in-law is also not on the stage... I removed the second and third for you, and from now on, you two will have to rely on your own abilities."

"Fourth brother, compared with the sixth son, my younger brother still thinks you have a better chance of winning." The fifth prince turned to the fourth prince, with a bit of flattery in his tone.

Jia reassuredly thought: This fifth child, at this point, is still trying to sow discord with ulterior motives—how much does he hate his brothers!

The fourth prince didn't seem to take the fifth prince's words seriously at all, he just tapped on the table lightly with his finger: "Brother, me, sixth...it has nothing to do with you."

No matter what happens to the few of them in the future, the brotherhood has been torn apart today, and even if they have the opportunity to meet again in the future, they will never treat the fifth prince as a brother.

The fifth prince immediately sank his face, pushed the gun lightly, and said: "We still have to see what the outcome of everyone will be today... Don't be cheap in the end, brother!"

Jia Fang hurriedly came out to smooth things over, and said: "Calm down, calm down... Fifth Highness, you called me here today, you didn't mean to be born sooner or later with me, right?"

The fifth prince cheered up, and said: "Of course not... I just want to come and have a good look at your garden!"

When he came last time, he was just a "little transparent" prince, almost invisible in the crowd.Jia Fang was the only one that His Majesty cared about, and he didn't have a chance to get to know the garden well.

"Take your garden as an example: tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, a collection of books full of houses, all kinds of novel crops, unexpected commodities... what else?" The fifth prince asked again, "Your garden in the south It’s all thanks to this garden that the work on the ground is so lively and colorful, right?”

Hearing the sour tone in the other party's tone, Jia Fang pondered for a while, and immediately replied: "This garden has been like this since King Qing's time, but why wasn't it so peculiar back then?"

When Jia Fang asked this rhetorically, the other party immediately got stuck.The fifth prince showed doubts, and his eyes kept wandering on Jia Fang's face.

"Your Highness Fifth, I think you should also have a unique garden in your hand, right?"

After Jia Fang brought up the various "magic" of the Grand View Garden, he suddenly had an inspiration in his heart - he understood where the firecrackers and handguns in the hands of the Fifth Prince came from.

Sure enough, when he said this, the fifth prince's face changed drastically, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he clenched the pistol in front of him, and asked murderously, "You also know?"

Jia Fang shook his head: "No, I don't know. I guessed it just now."

In this time and space, he has a garden, Shui Xian has a garden, why can't the fifth prince also have a garden?

The fourth prince is a person who knows the details of Jia Fang and Shui Xian, and when he heard about it, he suddenly understood.

The fifth prince gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Yes! I also have a... dilapidated garden, which is the backyard of Prince Xianyizhong's mansion. I used to play there when I was young, but later, I suddenly discovered that the garden can lead to a ...a warehouse."

Listening to the fifth prince's description, Jia Fang gradually lost his mind: According to what the fifth prince said, the small garden of Prince Yizhong's mansion actually leads to a place where weapons are piled up.But there are many things missing there, and there is also a lack of explanations for various weapons and blades, so the fifth prince has been groping for a long time before he can find out what each weapon is for and how to use it.

"I looked at the broken things in the warehouse, and I just thought, what are these, and I don't want to give it to me-until I found the firecracker!"

The Fifth Prince's eyes began to look bright.

"At first there were only two, and they were extremely heavy and time-consuming to reload. But this is already more powerful than any other weapon."

"I'm still not satisfied. I kept searching in the garden. I searched all the places until I found the pistol!" Women can use..."

A burst of anger welled up in Jia Xin's head: "So you deliberately tricked Shuangwen into coaxing her to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor?!"

The fifth prince lazily said: "That useless woman..."

Jia Fang slapped the table and stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked aggressively at the fifth prince opposite: "So what you got from the garden are all weapons - you then use them to destroy the world, use violence and death To threaten tens of thousands of people in this world, and use this method to achieve your ulterior motives, right?"

When he stood so excitedly in the Ouxiangxie, all the people outside the Ouxiangxie were frightened.The guards in the palace unsheathed their swords and swords, and the servants of Jia's mansion lowered their backs and prepared to attack.Jia She's face was filled with worry immediately, and he thought to himself: Third child, don't be impulsive.

"Yes, I'm not doing well, and others don't want to be happy." The fifth prince looked directly at Jia Fang. He had a pistol in his hand, and Jia Fang's condemnation was of no use at all.

"But do you know how all the elephant soldiers in the south were wiped out? With so many rebels in King Nan'an, they couldn't last a cup of tea under the capital city of Yong'an Prefecture... The fire | weapon you think is powerful It looks like nothing at all.”

As soon as Jia Fang finished speaking, the Fifth Prince was visibly shocked.He had planned a great strategy in the south, with elephant soldiers, and even sent more than a dozen pistols to the King of Nan'an...it was as vulnerable as Jia Fang said?

He turned his head to look at the fourth prince, who shook his head, expressing that he did not do it at Gewu Academy.

"Let me tell you the truth, I do own such a garden, and this garden has provided me with a lot of resources," Jia Fang was about to be pissed off by the rebellious old fifth in front of him, "but this garden is just about asking for it? You have to use the resources in this garden to do something for the world to push the world forward, right?"

"When I first got the garden, it was nothing more than what you said, the land, the rice fields, the honest farmers, the crown prince and the third highness even placed a group of sick immigrants on my land..." As soon as Jia Fang opened up the chatterbox, he continued talking endlessly.

What he got was just an ordinary village in the south with most of the agricultural resources and a small population.After many years of hard work, he developed to a certain scale, and it was only after joining hands with Shuixian that he finally laid a common industrial foundation for the two places.

"As for you, you just got a few firecrackers and handguns, and you just want to control the world, you..." Jia Fang almost blurted out, saying that the fifth prince is too stupid and naive. In this lotus root Champs, the opponent is the stronger side, and it was hard to hold back.

The fifth prince has already raised the pistol, pointing at Jia Fang: "So what? I still have this weapon at least, as long as I want, you can shut up immediately—"

Sure enough, Jia Fang shut up: He is a good man, he doesn't suffer from immediate losses, and it's over when he vents.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince interjected from the side: "Zhi Zhi Ge Wu..."

Jia Fang quickly said: "Yes!"

If he followed the path taken by the fourth prince, reformed education, reversed the trend of imperial examinations, and promoted the research of natural science, in the long run, he would surely be able to develop to the level he and Shui Xian have reached now.Although it may be slower, as long as you are patient, you will definitely see results.

Unless you lie on the wealth left by your ancestors and refuse to move, you can always find a way to push the world forward.

The fifth prince waved his pistol and said with a sneer, "I invite you here today, not just to listen to your singing."

But he didn't regret it in his heart - when he was in Prince Yizhong's backyard, he thought he had found a treasure arsenal, compared with others' years of operation and solid accumulation, it was nothing.

He never made any effort, just waiting for more blessings from God to this poor man.

Why can't he think of disassembling the pistol, learning this technique, calling a few more craftsmen, and making as many imitations as possible?

Perhaps this is the difference between him and Jia Fang.

"I know that this garden of yours must be connected to other places." The Fifth Prince pointed at Jia Fang with a pistol, "Take me there quickly...if you want Fourth Brother to live."

Since Jia Fang can quickly come and go between this Grand View Garden and the south side, and bring news much faster than the [-]-mile rush, there must be something weird in this Grand View Garden, and the key lies only in Jia Fang—the fifth prince has already figured this out. a little, and thought it was his only chance to get out.

Taking the fourth prince as bait, it is expected that Jia Fang, a foolish and brotherly brother, will definitely show up.After he coerced Jia Fang to escape, and then killed Jia Fang, the magical powers in the Grand View Garden disappeared, and others could no longer catch him.

So the three people in the Lotus Root Champs got up and started to act.

"Back off, back off—" Jia Amnesty commanded the guards in the palace and the guards in the mansion to quickly get out of the way, "Don't let the dog on the other side jump over the wall in a hurry and hurt my third child!"

But after the three of them left Ouxiangxie, they were led by Jia Fang and entered the Nuanxiangwu where His Majesty was attacked earlier—according to Jia Fang, Nuanxiangwu went from Ouxiangxie to Daoxiang Village the only way.

"Wait a minute!" The fifth prince found traces of iron sand and lead in Nuanxiangwu's room, and also saw a little bit of remaining blood on the whitewashed wall, "This..."

"You coaxed Shuangwen to avenge you, but she reined in the precipice and didn't do anything. Then the person you arranged to be buried in the palace guards would do it and hurt His Majesty!" Jia Fang replied calmly.

The fifth prince listened expressionlessly, and replied: "Useless stuff!" I don't know if he was talking about Shuangwen or the guard.

Jia Fang thought for a while and said, "Actually... I didn't know what is so special about Nuanxiangwu until that day. Do you want to know?"

Hearing that Jia Fang was still so "divergent", the fifth prince slammed up again in one breath, and said angrily, "Why are you dawdling? Are you really going to force me to do something to fourth brother?"

Jia Fang hurriedly said, "Don't...that's what I said, thinking you would want to see those most important memories."

The most important memory...

When the fifth prince heard it, various scenes naturally appeared in his mind.

At the same time, Jia Fang and the fourth prince raised their heads at the same time, looking at a whitewashed wall in front of them.The fourth prince let out a "huh" and said, "That's not..."

——Isn’t that when we were young?

"Yes, that's... Fifth Brother's, the most precious memory." Jia Fang added.

The fifth prince raised his head blankly, but was suddenly hit by the scene in front of him.

The whole whitewashed wall was covered with a carnival-like scene—that was when he was a child, to be precise, when his biological mother had not told him the truth about his life experience.At that time, he really thought that he was his brother's brother, playing behind them...

That was the elder brother who was the oldest and had already been thrown out to practice martial arts. He was not familiar with him, but the second brother, the third brother and the fourth brother were always together.

The second elder brother is the eldest son, so he will put on airs every day; the third elder brother treats him the best, and always calls him by his nickname, "A-Heng, A-Heng..."

The fifth prince couldn't help crying - when he sent his third brother back to the west with his own hands, the third brother called him that.

Why is the world so cruel and nature so tricky?Why was he born in his mother's womb, and why weren't he and these brothers truly blood brothers?

At this moment, the fifth prince suddenly understood: for so many years, what he hated probably wasn't his elder brothers, what he hated was the fate that made him unable to continue happily being behind his older brothers as he used to. A little follower, what he hated was that he was forced to be silent from now on—that's why he felt unwilling, and that's why he had the idea of ​​killing, wanting to seize power...

Once you take the first step, there will be one link after another, and you can't stop.

Standing in Nuanxiangwu, the Fifth Prince was stunned for a long while facing his most "precious" memories but never knew about them. When he looked back, his eyes were red, as if he had just cried a lot. like.

"I understand," he yelled at Jia Fang, "I'm not worthy of being human!"

"—I don't deserve to live in this world at all!"

There were people in this world who loved him and were willing to protect him, but he failed the good intentions of others, and pushed himself to a desperate situation step by step.

He suddenly raised the dark iron gun in his hand, aiming the muzzle at Jia Fang's face: "But since we are the same person, I will never walk ahead of you!"

The fourth prince turned pale with fright, and stretched out his hand to Raja Fang.

Jia Fang didn't have time to react, the opponent's hand was not a long firecracker, no matter how agile he was, it was too late to make another "kick the firecracker" action.At this time, he seemed to see Shui Xian in the corner of his eye.

Being in Nuanxiangwu, I can really see the most heart-warming memories - Jia Fang thought so.

There was a loud bang of "boom", and the blood suddenly appeared.

Jia Fang and the fourth prince froze for a moment, then rushed up to check on the situation of the fifth prince.I saw a bloodstain on the opponent's face, extending to the neck, chest, arms...

The pistol, which had been used many times, had finally exploded.

The fifth prince wanted to pull Jia Fang back before he died, but he didn't know that the weapon in his hand was not good enough, so he hurt himself first.

The Fifth Prince was not able to lose his breath for a while, he turned Shang Zineng's open left eye, trying to catch Jia Fang's figure, the left corner of his mouth was raised upward desperately, as if he wanted to squeeze out a smile——

"you win!"

"I admit it, I admit it—"

The fifth prince's neck gradually tilted back, and his eyes began to lose their luster.But he still laughed hard, and laughed hard: "...after all, he is still the same person, naive, soft-hearted..."

"If... I kill all of you as soon as I come up, then I, don't I..."

The fifth prince's voice gradually weakened, and finally he died.

Jia Fang and the fourth prince looked at each other, knowing that the other party was right.If the fifth prince is really the kind of ruthless person who kills the fourth prince, Xia Shengshen and those imperial students who dare to speak out, and then rushes into the Rongguo Mansion and directly destroys the Grand View Garden... Then, he may indeed Already in power.

"Is it over like this?"

Someone in Nuanxiangwu made a sound, followed by the sound of footsteps, and someone walked quickly towards Jia Fang.

Jia Fang was originally silent because of the death of the fifth prince, but when he looked up and saw the person coming, he was even more surprised and speechless.

The fourth prince raised his head and said, "Ziheng, are you here? These two are..."

At this moment, Shuixian appeared in Nuanxiangwu, and following him were two strange-looking people, one was a middle-aged woman in her forties, and the other was a young man in his teens, with an expression on his face. Childish.

The Fourth Prince was surprised because the outfits of the two people in front of him were extremely weird: they didn't wear their hair in a bun, and their hair had been cut, especially the young man, whose hair was short and cut to only half an inch; The clothes are also very strange. They don't wear robes, and women don't wear skirts, but they wear extremely well-fitting double-breasted blouses and straight hakama trousers. They look heroic - this is a description the Fourth Prince has never seen before.

But just before he opened his mouth to ask, Jia Fang turned around, bowed to the fourth prince, and said, "Fourth brother, please help!"

The fourth prince immediately understood: "You need me to avoid it?"

Jia Fang continued: "At that moment just now, the people outside were probably very anxious. Please tell the fourth brother for peace of mind; the burn on your face also needs to be dealt with immediately... Also, please take care of the younger brother. Keep out of the way, my little brother has some private matters."

This is the first time that Jia Fang personally called the fourth prince "Fourth Brother". The fourth prince's heart softened, and he nodded and said: "Okay, but you have to be careful. If you have anything to say, call immediately!"

The fourth prince's eyes turned on those two "weirds" again, and then he left Nuanxiangwu with his hands behind his back, and went outside to report the inside story to the emperor and others.

Jia Fang and Shui Xian finally had the opportunity to stand side by side, in front of the two strangely dressed visitors.Of course, in the eyes of the fourth prince, these two people are "outlandish clothes", but in Jia Fang's eyes, they are just wearing a well-tailored professional suit, and the other is wearing a sweater and jeans.

Jia Fang and the middle-aged lady looked at each other calmly for a while, and then turned to the boy.The child was a little shy, half of his body was hidden behind the middle-aged lady, but he poked his head out and looked at Jia Fang curiously.

Jia Anxin suddenly had an inspiration, and he asked the child, "Choose C when you are indecisive. Is that what you are like?"

Sure enough, the boy's eyes lit up, he nodded, and said, "Yes!"

Jia Fang raised his face and looked at the middle-aged lady—the person behind the scroll again.

Now, he finally understands a little bit.
