Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

Looking at Jia Rong holding a piece of rose cake in his hand, eating it with relish, his expression is also comfortable, and even his legs are crossed, just like Jia Rong who doesn't look like a guest at someone's house.

Uncle, you are not at your own home, but as a guest at someone else's home, or in the Prince's Mansion.Do you want to restrain your expression a little bit?Guanyan and Ximo couldn't help but glanced at each other, sighed slightly, lowered their heads helplessly, and slandered inwardly in unison, and their thoughts were surprisingly the same.

Not long after, the fourth prince came over.

The moment he saw Jia Rong, the Fourth Prince's footsteps paused slightly, his eyes twitched invisible, and then he walked forward again.

Jia Rong took a sip of tea, then slowly stood up from the chair, saluted and said, "I've seen the fourth prince."

"Get up." The fourth prince's eyes slid across the empty white porcelain plate as if there was nothing there, with a look of embarrassment.The first time I saw it, the pastries that were almost used as decorations were eaten by him.He slandered in his heart, sat down on the main chair, pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Master Jia, you are welcome, sit down first." Seeing Jia Rong sitting down, he asked, "I don't know if Mr. Jia is coming here at this time. But what's the matter?"

Ever since Master Chen and Jia Rong got in touch with each other that time, they never had any contact with each other on weekdays.Even if they saw each other in the court hall, they just nodded politely to each other.If it wasn't for the occasional contacts in private, the fourth prince really wouldn't think that Jia Rong belonged to him.

Well, Jia Rong never thought that he belonged to the Fourth Prince.

Jia Rong didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "I want to ask His Royal Highness the fourth prince, do you want to continue dormant like this?" The third and sixth princes, who were in full swing, had already begun to pay attention to the fourth prince.Of course, the third prince and the sixth prince did not notice it with their own eyes, but were reminded by others. Among them, the third prince was reminded by the fifth prince, while the sixth prince was reminded by a shrewd grandfather.But even so, neither of them really took the fourth prince seriously.

The fourth prince raised his eyebrows, "If I say yes, what should you do?"

"Naturally, I'm going to find someone else." Jia Rong replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Oh? What's the reason?"

Jia Rong replied: "The reason is very simple. Now there are so many courtiers in the court, most of them are still focusing on the third prince and the sixth prince. No matter how well the fourth prince is doing, except for the very shrewd Other than the old fox, there is no one who pays attention to you? Although in the court, every courtier, talking about His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is not without harm, but if you want to win the position of superior person, it is not secretly Just be a human being."

"There is some truth in what you said. It's just that in the current situation, the third brother and the sixth brother have been fighting for a few years, and the power has already been balanced. If I rashly intervene, I'm afraid it will attract the emperor's attention." The color of displeasure." Regarding Jia Rong's words, as a self-motivated prince, how could he not understand, he just understands it, but it is difficult to do it.Everything else is easy to talk about, but it's hard to explain to the father.

Although now, the father's body is much worse.But his body is weak, but his mind is not muddled, and he is still very shrewd.It is said that old people will soften their hearts, but in his opinion, these words are not half appropriate when applied to the father.

Without the most suitable opportunity, he dared to intervene anywhere.

Jia Rong sneered from the bottom of her heart at what the fourth prince said, thinking that the fourth prince would be such a ruthless and bold character, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.And just a coward.However, although he despised the fourth prince in his heart, he still looked the same on the face. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "His Royal Highness's worries are justified, but it's not a good thing to keep hiding them like this. If If His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is worried that there is no suitable opportunity to intervene, then it is not a big problem. Since there is no opportunity, then create an opportunity yourself." When she said this, she didn't know if it was a habit, Jia Rong restrained herself eyelids.

On the contrary, the Fourth Prince's eyes lit up when he heard Jia Rong's words, so he didn't notice Jia Rong's inconspicuous little movements, and his tone was a little excited, and he said with a smile: "After all, you are smart, what you said is very true. "

Why didn't he think of it.Since there is no suitable opportunity, just create one yourself.But there is no rush for this matter, we still need to discuss it carefully with Master Chen.

Thinking of this, he looked at Jia Rong again, "I don't know if you have any good ideas here?"

Jia Rong smiled and said: "I have a method here, but I don't know if it is suitable? I heard that some time ago, there was an accident in Wu's house in the capital. Because of this incident, the emperor still made it public in the court. I don’t know if His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has heard of punishing Elder Wu Ge?”

During the few days when Jia Zheng pushed Jia Zhen down, a small incident happened in the Wu family, the ancestral home of the sixth prince.The Wu family has a Zhuangzi in Huailiu Village outside the city, but because the Zhuangzi is small, no one comes here all the year round, and there are only a few servants guarding here on weekdays.Some time ago, a group of naughty children in the village accidentally climbed over the wall and entered, thinking about the fruitful peaches on a peach tree planted in the yard.But no, after they went in, they saw three or four girls hanging from the peach branches on the tree. The clothes on their bodies were all tattered and blood-stained. died.

After all, they were all children, who had never seen such a battle, and immediately screamed, attracting many villagers.

It turned out that this Zhuangzi was actually used by Wu Yuan, the third grandson of Wu Ge Lao, as a golden house to hide his beauty.If every big family has so few ineffective descendants, then Wu Yuan is undoubtedly the ineffective member of the Wu family.He is mediocre, has no abilities, and has a violent temper. He has a bad reputation in the capital.Once married a wife, but died within a year.Although it is said that he has a disease.But many people know that this Wu Yuan has special hobbies and is very violent in the bed room.His wife was killed in bed by him.

For this reason, no one of the right family is willing to marry their daughter to him, even if it is a little lower, anyone who loves his daughter two points is not willing.For the rest, the portal is too low.Wu Yuan's mother looked down on him again.So he has not married yet.

Now, another life was lost.

The big tree attracts the wind, and the Wu family is missed by many people.When something like this happened, how could the opponent let it go, even though they knew they couldn't do anything to the Wu family?But it's not bad to scare the Wu family.So this matter was spread all over the city.It was precisely because of this incident that Emperor Longqi reprimanded Mr. Wu in public in the court hall.It is said that his family education is loose, even if the children and grandchildren mess around, there should be a sense of proportion.

But that's the end of the matter. After all, those girls were verified to be the sons of the Wu family or slaves who signed a death contract.If you die, you will die, and besides, the emperor has already reprimanded him here, and Mr. Wu Ge also punished Wu Yuan, so this matter is over.

Now that the fourth prince heard Jia Rong mentioning it, his expression froze for a moment, and he was silent for a while before saying: "Although I am not interested in such romantic matters, I have listened to them twice. Although it involves a few lives, but because They are all family-born sons or house slaves who have signed a death contract, so if they die, they will die, so what about being involved?"

"I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince doesn't know. Among the girls who died, one of them was not a servant who signed a death contract as the Wu family said. It was a son of a good family, and more importantly, this girl. There is another identity, Anchang County Lord of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion."

"I remember that when the head of Anchang County was five years old, he went out to watch fireworks and was abducted. For this reason, the capital was heavily guarded at that time, and many child traffickers were found. It's just that Anchang The county head has not been found yet. The princess of Nan'an County misses her daughter so much that she has some demons. Ten years have passed, and she has not given up the idea of ​​finding her daughter. Are you sure one of them is really the county head of Anchang?" The fourth prince said I was really surprised.

Jia Rong nodded and said, "Although I'm not very sure, it's pretty close."

"How did you know?" the Fourth Prince asked.

"It's just a coincidence. I thought that as long as this matter is used properly, wouldn't it be a rare opportunity? Your Royal Highness Fourth Prince." Jia Rong said meaningfully.

The fourth prince nodded: "I will make a detailed plan with Master Chen later." By the way, investigate whether what Jia Rong said is true?If it is false, then it can be seen that Jia Rong's thoughts are worthy of scrutiny.But he didn't think Jia Rong, who was as smart as Jia Rong, would deliberately tell such a huge lie and dig a hole for him to jump.So this matter is likely to be true, but if it is true, then he has to reconsider Jia Rong.The reason is also very simple, he knows things that no one else knows, which obviously shows that he has a lot of hidden power in his hands.

Suddenly thinking of the guard who was following Jia Rong, I felt a bit clear in my heart.

"En." Qing knew what the fourth prince was thinking, but Jia Rong didn't reveal it.

After coming out of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Guan Yan couldn't help but ask before getting into the carriage going back: "Master, is what you just said true?"

"Fake." Jia Rong said without blinking.

"Fake? Then don't you take..." Guan Yan's voice suddenly became two points higher, but after being lightly glanced at by Jia Rong, he immediately shut up and didn't speak.

Xi Mo took a careful look at Guan Yan, and sighed slightly in his heart. Guan Yan's temperament has not changed at all, and he is still so chattering without a definite definition. It is no wonder that the uncle will deliberately Tell him not to tell Guan Yan, for fear that something bad will happen to him.

In fact, among the girls that Wu Yuan killed, he put them as nails in the Wu family. When he was cleaning up the corpses, he found that one of them was three or four points similar to the princess of Nan'an County. It might be useful, so when reporting the situation, I said a few more words.

After Jia Rong heard this, she immediately began to think about it. First, after asking people to inquire about some things about the princess of Nan'an County and the missing Anchang County Lord, they made a careful disguise, step by step. It's over.Let him be a nail in Wu's house, and some irrelevant gossip will come out little by little.

After all the arrangements were made, he came to tell the Fourth Prince the news.

Seven days later, the capital city, which had been quiet for a while, suddenly became turbulent again.

The cause was a rumor that the Anchang county head who was abducted from Nan'an County's palace was found, but it was her body that was found.

When the head of Anchang county was abducted, the sky of the princess of Nan'an County almost collapsed. For this reason, all the servants who served the head of Anchang county were punished to varying degrees.Among them, Nanny Shen, the wet nurse of Anchang County Lord, was not on duty that day, but was still punished by the enraged Nan'an County King for thirty times, and then kicked out of the Nan'an County King's Mansion.

This Nanny Shen is the dowry maid of Nan'an County Princess. She has a hard life. After getting married, in less than two years, first the man died, and then the daughter she gave birth to also died young, so she let go of all her love. To the head of Anchang County.The head of Anchang County was abducted, and she was implicated and kicked out of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion.But even so, she did not give up the idea of ​​finding the little master.

After ten years of searching, Nanny Shen finally got some clues and found Huailiu Village.It's just after she finds the family that is said to have adopted the county head as a child bride.Only then did I know that Anchang County Lord had been spotted by a dude earlier in the day, forcibly pulled away, and finally tortured to death.

In this family, she got the little doll that Anchang County Lord was said to be holding in his arms when he was abducted.

Then, under the instructions of the family, she found the small grave where the head of Anchang County was buried.

She opened it like a madman, and saw a rotten female corpse lying inside. She lifted her shoulder and looked, and saw that although some parts had rotted, she also saw a birthmark that looked like a butterfly. .Then she asked carefully, and from the little girl who lived with her, she knew for sure that there was indeed a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her shoulder.

Combining all these clues, Nanny Shen has basically determined that the dead girl in front of her is the Anchang county lord she has been looking for for ten years.

Bringing the body of the Anchang county lord, weeping all the way to Nan'an County Prince's Mansion.

The princess of Nan'an County fainted on the spot when she saw the little doll and the butterfly-shaped female corpse on the shoulders of the rotten corpse.

The princess of Nan'an County found the Anchang county head who had been missing for ten years, but the news that she was dead soon spread throughout the capital.

The princess of Nan'an County and the king of Nan'an County had three sons and one daughter. The only daughter was the head of Anchang County. Now the daughter who had been searching hard for ten years had died.How could the princess of Nan'an County tolerate being abused to death? After asking Mother Shen the reason, she was furious.

And Nanny Shen is not afraid of death. After discussing with the princess of Nan'an County, she resolutely rang the golden bell outside the palace city that had not been "reproached for grievances" for more than 20 years, and then she was punished. After rolling the nail board, there is only one breath left in the toss of one's life.When he arrived at the imperial court, he reported the imperial court.

At this point, the case of Wu Yuan's torture and murder of the maidservant, which had already come to an end, caused another disturbance. What was even more unexpected was that, in the Jinluan Hall, after Shen Momo reported the imperial court, she slammed into a post and died.The king of Nan'an County also asked Emperor Longqi to re-trial and give an explanation to his daughter who died unjustly.

Because someone died in the Golden Luan Hall, many opponents of the Wu family in the court also said that the Wu family said earlier that they all had children from the family.

Someone knocked on the golden bell of grievances, and acted according to the law, rolled the nail board, and was punished with a stick, so Emperor Longqi immediately ordered the Ministry of Punishments to conduct a thorough investigation.

This time it was definitely much bigger than the last time.
