[Red Mansion] Sir, I'm a rough man

Although it was Chinese New Year, the masters of Ningguo Mansion were all respecting filial piety, even if Jia Wan hadn't been grounded, there wasn't much excitement.

That day, after Jia Wan sent Jia Zhen, who was so frightened out of his wits, to Xuanzhen Temple, when he returned home, he heard a servant report that Zhang Youshi had arrived.

It was supposed to arrive a few days earlier, but it was delayed until now because of the deep snow and slippery roads, and the one-day journey took three full days.

Jia Wan had a meal with him, and found that this friend was really an interesting person, not to mention knowledgeable, knowledgeable, medical skills, and martial arts. The way to advance and retreat... Jia Wan has a cold temper, and has always admired this kind of person. It seems that he knows how to get along with others, as if he can become friends with anyone in the shortest time if he wants to.

They arranged for Zhang Youshi to stay in the mansion for one night, and early the next morning, Si Yue took the post and sent him to Zhao Yi's mansion.

There were two people, Si Yue and Zhang Youshi, when they went there, but only April and one came back—Zhang Youshi lived in the eldest son's mansion.

It was a very small thing, but the message it conveyed was shocking.

Facing the persistent illnesses that countless imperial physicians have failed to cure, and are not quite sure, dare to treat them?Dare to live in the mansion for diagnosis and treatment?

The leg of the eldest son of the emperor has been saved!

When the news spread, the entire top management of Dagan was shocked.

The imperial doctor once said that Zhao Yi's hamstrings and bones are intact, and once heals, he will be no different from ordinary people...

Emperor Qian's preference for the eldest son of the emperor is well known, there have been rumors in the court that Zhao Yi would have been crowned prince if not for his lack of health...

Since ancient times, the position of the crown prince has been established as the eldest son. Originally, the eldest son of the emperor had leg problems. If the second prince, Zhao Xuan, etc. took up the title of eldest son, he would be smart, studious, lenient and benevolent, and have a good reputation. There is no doubt about it. As for the candidate for the crown prince, now that there is an extra eldest son who is worthy of the sacred heart, wouldn't the position of crown prince be a little more variable out of thin air?

In the past few months, Zhao Yi, who had been going to the Palace of Qinzheng almost every day, suddenly couldn't leave behind closed doors;

Emperor Qian's rewards were continuously sent to the emperor's eldest son's mansion, and he visited twice in person within ten days;

The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager asked to dig out the long-preserved elixir from the treasury and gave it to the past;

A certain young and unfavored lady named Jia in the palace was suddenly remembered by the emperor...

All of the above are all deepening the speculation in the hearts of the courtiers.

Shaking their heads and sighing in no one's place: From then on, they have done a lot of things!

This year's Spring Festival, the people in the capital are still immersed in the joy, but they don't know that the dignitaries above their heads have long lost the mood of the New Year.

The whole senior officials were disturbed by Zhang Youshi's coming to Beijing and the mansion. For a moment, they seemed to have forgotten even the assassination case of Jia Zhen sent by Prince Zhongshun, which shocked the government and the public.

Of course, this is just an illusion, and the matter of the crown prince should not be ignored. Could it be that the affairs of the Supreme Emperor and the emperor are trivial matters?

It's just that everyone tacitly stopped mentioning it - it involved the direct confrontation between the top two, they had already played all the cards they could play, and if they yelled casually, they would make themselves the target of anger, the only thing they had to do at the moment Yes, just quietly waiting for the final result.

In this lively and quiet waiting, the Spring Festival of this year is about to pass, the streets are getting deserted day by day, and there is still no movement in the palace.

Jia Wan lived a leisurely life during this time due to his foot restraint and filial piety, except for a guy who had no taboos, who often came to disturb his quietness.

At this moment, Zhou Kai, the eldest son of Zhou, leaned carelessly on the master chair in Jiawan's study, holding the heater in his hand, and lazily said: "These days have froze us enough, but you are comfortable, nestling in the warm room every day... ...How can the emperor not help me for a few days, let me also nest for a winter!"

Jia Wan sneered, considering the temperament of our prince Zhou, if we really want to restrain his feet, why not hug the emperor's legs and cry?Going to him to say sour words.

Holding the peanuts in the tongs and Bala brazier, without raising his head, he said: "You are a royal guard, where is the emperor, where are you, can you be frozen?"

Zhou Kai sighed, and said: "On the third day you were grounded, the yamen was sealed. The emperor does not have to go to court, and there is no paperwork to approve. He spends a lot of time drinking and tasting plums with the ladies... but we are pitiful. Stand outside and appreciate the wind and snow.”

Jia Wan burst out laughing.

It was because this kid had a close relationship with the emperor that he dared to speak like this.

Zhou Kai picked up a peanut from Jiawanbala, endured the burning of his hands, peeled it off and threw it into his mouth, then spat it out again with a bah, and said, "What does it smell like!"

Soft, hot and burnt... He has never eaten such an unpalatable thing in his life.

Jia Wan peeled two of them and found that they were really unpalatable, so he threw the tongs to wash his hands, and said, "What do you know, what I eat is feelings."

Zhou Kai let out a "bah", rolled his eyes and said, "The feelings of fart, why do you think you haven't studied?"

Jia Wan threw the handkerchief to Zhou Kai to wipe his hands, sat down and said, "I remember when I was young, during the Chinese New Year, when I had nothing to do, I would roast peanuts with my brothers and sisters around the stove and eat them. Every time you roasted one, you would fight for it. It's delicious..."

Zhou Kai asked suspiciously: "No way, isn't your Jia family quite rich?"

What Jia Wan said was naturally not when he was in Jia's house, let alone explain, and said with a smile: "This is called fun... Do you understand?"

Zhou Kai gave a disdainful "cut", threw the handkerchief aside, and continued to peel and eat the horrible burnt peanuts, while saying: "I said, if you have time, you can also remind your big sister, how old is she?" She's not too young anymore, she's been in the palace for more than ten years, why doesn't she have the slightest sense of sight...

"It's rare for the emperor to think of her. I went to take a look, not to see her bitter face. The master of the harem tried his best to make the emperor feel comfortable with him. He came here several times. The position is good, I almost wrote the resentment on my face..."

Jia Wan shook his head and said: "With the temperament of a big sister, it is good to live in peace in the palace, and the favor is second."

Let him teach Yuan Chun how to compete for favor?What are you kidding?

Not to mention whether Yuan Chun is suitable for competing for favor, with Emperor Qian's temperament, the possibility of dragging Jia's family because of his doting on Yuan Chun is almost zero, but seeing that Jia Wan is still useful to him, take care of Yuan Chun one or two, and don't let her It is still possible to die silently in the palace.

Zhou Kai just mentioned casually. With Jia Wan's current status, unless Yuan Chun can give birth to a prince and participate in the seizure of the heir, she will not be favored and has no effect on Jia Wan.

He stopped talking, looked outside the door, leaned sideways to Jia Wan, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid your brother's business will be nothing."

Jia Wan was slightly taken aback: "Any news?"

Zhou Kai nodded, and said: "The minister of Dali Temple entered the palace early this morning to plead guilty. He said he was asking the emperor for a little more time, but the meaning behind his words is probably lost...

"I think he didn't dare to look for it. The snow is so thick outside. That kid is a civil servant with a big belly and no strength to restrain a chicken. He can't even ride a horse. But if he walked one night early, how far can he run?" ?

"There are so many experienced arresters, how many martial arts thieves and green forest heroes in the Jianghu are easily captured, and the result?

"Everyone rode fast horses and brought hounds with them. After searching for more than 20 days, they couldn't find such a person...Who will believe it?"

Jia Wan nodded and said nothing. He was not surprised by this result. He seemed to be an easy-to-find person. If he didn't find him at the time, the possibility of finding him later would be small.

The "person" mentioned here is the long history of Prince Zhongshun's mansion. Now there is no one alive, no dead body. I don't know how many people are looking for his whereabouts, and I don't know that he hid it too well. , or has already been obtained, so far there is no news.

Although the government and the public kept this matter secret, Jia Wan had Zhou Kai as his ear-teller, so he naturally knew more about it than others.

After the Metropolitan Procuratorate brought the matter to the fore that day, Prince Zhongshun Zhao Yu went into the palace with his hair covered and his clothes open, crying, saying that he was wronged and that everything was blamed by the long history of his family, and that he was blamed by the emperor. Cursing and swearing in front of him, even bumping his head against the doorpost, wanting to die to prove his innocence...

He cried, made trouble and hanged himself three times, causing the entire Qinzheng Palace to be turned on their backs.

Of course death would not kill him, but in this way, Emperor Qian didn't have much to say, so he could only look downcast, watching the Supreme Emperor beat him, and scolded Zhao Yuhao, saying that if he hadn't acted absurdly on a daily basis , How could he provoke such dirty things, scolding him for being ignorant, lax in discipline and so on.

Forcibly ascertained the "fact" that Zhao Yu was framed.

Under the chanting and beating, even Emperor Qian was speechless and could only order to announce the long history. Naturally, the long history could not be announced. Zhao Yu, who had been prepared for a long time, moved out of the servants of the palace and the family members of the Changshi's mansion The testimonies of , vendors along the street, guards at the city gate and others prove that Chang Shi has fled.

He spoke so convincingly that Emperor Qian was noncommittal and sent a large number of people out of the city to arrest him.

Emperor Qian refused to determine the matter, and even refused to offer a price. The Supreme Emperor had no choice but to leave in anger.

There has been no progress in the arrest, so the matter has been left there, and now it is finally about to be closed.

In fact, no matter what the result is, Jia Wan will not be disappointed. The current situation is stronger than he expected. At the very least, Jia Zhen has completely stopped, and Prince Zhongshun has temporarily stopped.

In Daqian, although the royal family is expensive, if there is no power to add to him, the courtiers are really worthy of him. Prince Zhongshun is now a toothless tiger, and he can't stop if he wants to.

As for the Taishanghuang, the emperor will support him.

Jia Wan bent down and picked up the fat cat at his feet, and said: "I haven't been in the capital for the New Year in a few years, and I managed to catch up with it, but I was banned again, and I couldn't go out... Outside Is there anything fun to do?"

Seeing him change the subject, Zhou Kai understood, leaned back lazily, and said, "It's not fun, but it's a lot of trouble.

"Do you still remember those prairie barbarians you beat up years ago? These days, they are very arrogant. They attack many people when they disagree with each other. They don't even pay attention to officers and soldiers.

"Now the people in the capital see them taking a detour. I have encountered them a few times. They are really angry."

Jia joked, "Why, didn't you go up to fight the injustice?"

Zhou Kai resentfully said: "You're being unfair, you still don't know what I did? It's no wonder if you don't get trampled on when you go up."

He said disconsolately: "I'm not afraid of being beaten. When was I, Zhou Kai, afraid of this? I'm afraid of losing the emperor in front of the people. I'm also a royal guard after all. I was beaten up by some savages on the street. Where is the emperor's face facing?"

Jia Wan patted him on the shoulder as comfort.

Zhou Kai sighed: "Now there is no government office, if the government office is opened, the papers in front of the emperor will not pile up into a mountain?

"Actually, even if no one took the paper, the emperor knew about it and sent someone to warn him. As a result, the wise king Zuo said that they have this kind of atmosphere over there. They like to use their fists to reason. He will properly restrain his subordinates, but when the imperial envoy leaves, what should he do...

"The emperor is also very angry, but they are not indiscriminate in their actions, and it is not good to go to war because of it.

"Yizhi, what do you think these savages want to do? Don't they want to find fault and start a war?"

Jia Wan shook his head and laughed, and said: "You think they are from the Central Plains, and they have to find a high-sounding excuse for everything? When did the Xiongnu invade the border first and make a war statement?

"There's a saying that a dog that bites doesn't bark...The Zuoxian King looks fierce and domineering, but in fact, his every move is full of viciousness."

Jia joked, and said, "I'll be able to go out in ten days or so, and then we'll go shopping together."

How could Zhou Kai not understand the meaning of this sentence, he slapped his thigh, and said: "Why wait ten days, go tomorrow! Tomorrow happens to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the last wave of excitement, it's a pity not to watch... ...That's the deal!"

Jia Wan said unhappily: "Say hell, what about the crime of deceiving the emperor, can you borrow my head and chop it off?"

Although Emperor Qian banned his feet for the purpose of protecting the majority, it didn't mean that he could run out to play swaggeringly.

"Cut!" Zhou Kai pouted and said, "Brothers can harm you? This small matter, leave it to me, and I will enter the palace later. If the emperor refuses to let you go, I will stay with him and not leave." !"

After he got up and was about to leave, Jia Wan hurriedly held him back: What are you kidding, Dali Siqing just entered the palace to plead guilty, now I am afraid that the emperor and the Supreme Emperor are going to war, what are you doing in the palace now?As cannon fodder?

Before she had time to speak, Wu Yue hurried in, sweating profusely in the winter, panting, "Master, Master! It's terrible."

"how?"

Wu Yue let out a sigh of relief: "Zhang Han is dead!"

Zhou Kai was startled: "What?"

Jia Wan asked, "Who is Zhang Han?"

Zhou Kai and Wu Yue glared at Jia and played together, Wu Yue said in disbelief, "Master Zhang Han, the long history of Prince Zhongshun's residence, didn't you drink tea with him for half a day?"

Only then did Jia Wan become more cautious, he even stopped touching the cat, and asked, "What's going on?"

The Dali Temple just said that no one could be found, and the corpse appeared. Isn't this a coincidence?

Wu Yue said: "Do you know Lord Taping Lake in the west of the city?"

Jia Wan glared at him: What are you talking about?He was born and raised in the capital, but he doesn't know Taping Lake?

Wu Yue just felt wronged: Didn't his master even know about Zhang Han?I don’t know if Taping Lake is normal, right?

Scratching his head, he said: "You know, because the water in Taping Lake is clearer and sweeter than other places, and it is in the city, so the big families in the capital like to get ice there at the beginning of the new year, and there is an ice cellar. Enjoy the coolness.

"At noon today, the guy who went to fetch ice from the lake had just removed the floating snow on the surface, and he hadn't moved the guy yet, so he was almost scared to death... There was a white figure under the ice layer on the lake, with disheveled hair and staring eyes. look at them...

"Those people were so frightened, they only yelled that there was a ghost, and ran to watch the fun, only then did they recognize that it was Zhang Han, who died in the lake for some reason... the whole person was frozen into the ice, Some old people said that it would take at least half a month to freeze like this.

"That kid was only wearing obscene clothes and was barefoot. Everyone said that he was dragged off the bed and killed. Otherwise, even if he took his clothes off for money, he wouldn't have taken off his socks. ..."

Jia Wan and Zhou Kai looked at each other, and they both saw the same message in each other's eyes: Prince Zhongshun is going to be in trouble!

He swore that Zhang Han had already fled, and found all kinds of evidence. As a result, Zhang Han died in the lake in the city half a month ago, and even that night, and was dragged from the bed in the middle of the night to kill him... Have the slightest intention of running away?

At whose hand did Zhang Han die?

Who is most afraid to let him live?

Who swears that he has fled?

Zhou Kai was stunned for a moment, and said: "This is too stupid. If the body is thrown into the lake, people will find it sooner or later. I don't know if two stones fell... It's better to bury it on the spot!"

Of course Jia Wan understood what he meant. He felt that Prince Zhongshun had been tricked by someone, and he disliked the fact that the mastermind behind it was too rough!

Zhou Kai stroked his chin and pondered: Even he felt that Prince Zhongshun was framed, and others probably thought the same way. This round was too rough...

But the negative is positive, maybe it was really done by Prince Zhongshun, deliberately leaving a loophole, just to guide others to think so?

Impossible, can he have such a brain?

Zhou Kai didn't figure it out for a long time, but he got himself involved, scratching his head in distress, when he heard Wuyue muttering: "Prince Zhongshun is stupid, otherwise why would he send his cronies to assassinate our uncle, but he was caught with all the stolen goods?" Huo, you can't let it go if you want... Even the little ones know that when they do bad things, they have to face it, so as not to implicate themselves!"

Zhou Kai waved his hands impatiently, and said, "Isn't that because he was unlucky enough to meet Liu Xianglian?"

Why did Prince Zhongshun send his cronies to assassinate Jia Zhen?Not too stupid, but too confident.

One is that Jia Zhen didn’t want to be cheap to see Hades in a muddleheaded manner, and deliberately sent someone he knew to let him know how he died, so that he would remember this lesson in his next life.

The second is to have confidence in the skills of the two subordinates. Xuanzhen Temple is located in a remote place, and there are only a group of little Taoist priests who do not know martial arts. Not to mention that they cannot be discovered, even if they are discovered, it will be a trivial matter to slaughter the entire Xuanzhen Temple pile.

It's just that she never expected that she happened to meet Liu Xianglian who came to visit Jia Zhen, not only saved Jia Zhen's life, but also captured two assassins alive...

just right?

Why are there so many good things happening?

Zhou Kai glanced at Jia Wan thoughtfully.

Jia Wan drank his tea with his head down, ignoring his gaze.

Zhou Kai thought he understood, clapped his hands, and said: "Sure enough, Wuyue is the smartest in our family. You are right! Prince Zhongshun is stupid, and it's normal to be stupid again..."

It's because he thought too much, even if everyone suspects that Prince Zhongshun was framed, what does it matter?The fact is that Prince Zhongshun swore that he was framed by Zhang Han, and kept saying that Zhang Han fled overnight. As a result, the Zhang Han who framed him and escaped early died in the city in obscene clothes on the night of the incident.

It doesn't matter if the bureau is rough, the key is that the time is just right, if it is delayed, and the time has passed, even if the evidence is conclusive, how can it still cause trouble?

Immediately couldn't sit still anymore, said: "I'm going into the palace to watch the excitement, wait for my news!"

Without waiting for Jia Wan to speak, he left in a hurry.

Jia Wan sat alone for a while, raised his head and said to Wu Yue: "Prepare a gift and send it to the eldest son's mansion."

Wu Yue asked in astonishment, "What gift?"

Jia Wan said, "Any kind of gift will do."

Wu Yue complained: "Master, don't wait for such a gift, you must have a name for it, such as annual gift, thank you gift, return gift, birthday gift, birth gift... each has its own particularity and weight, you don't make it clear , How are you preparing, little ones!"

If it was normal, Jia Wan would know what to prepare without saying anything, but now that the gift that should be given has already been delivered, how would he know what to prepare for such a sudden occurrence?

Jia Wan rubbed his forehead with his fingertips and said, "Forget it, I'll go there by myself."

Wu Yue said in astonishment: "But Lord, you are still restrained! The crime of deceiving the emperor will be decapitated!"

Jia Wan glanced at him, and said leisurely: "Did you say you want to go now?"

Suddenly, Wuyue touched her head in embarrassment, and left with a smile.

Jia Wan stretched his waist and stretched his muscles and bones: I won't go now, but I will go at night.

The author has something to say: Well, Duo Ma is back, I don’t know if anyone still reads it, but anyway, try to finish it!
