Jia Jing, national teacher of the Red Chamber

Kang He was urgently called back to Beijing and King Zhongshun was sent to repair books, which gave Lin Ruhai another period of time to recuperate, but he was still nervous.

Soon it will be September, and it will be Grandpa Guo's 46th birthday soon.Unlike last time when the preparations started on September [-]th, this time just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jia Zhen’s colleagues cryptically asked how he planned to celebrate his father’s birthday next month. he.So this time the birthday banquet was extraordinarily grand.

Only half of the invitations that were sent out last time came back, and many of them only sent people in charge to give gifts. Afterwards, this group of people regretted so much that their intestines were green, but there was nothing they could do. Who told them not to seize the opportunity? I don't know if they will have a part in this year's birthday banquet.

In the study, the father and son were discussing the list of guests, while Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were recording.First of all, Jia Zhen’s colleagues have to be invited. The next one is the Minister of the Six Departments, and the prime minister, the teacher of the Guozijian who taught Rong’er and Qiang’er... The list is so long, it’s clear that one is for officials who can go to court. That's it, plus the four county kings, although these people may not all come, but the emperor will not think that he is forming a party for personal gain.

As for the Rong Mansion, it's not that I didn't want to take advantage of Jia Jing's birthday to make friends again, but the Duke was afraid of trouble, and there were too many people visiting every day, so he specially invited a few people from the palace. When a guard came to see the gate, the emperor naturally agreed, and he also increased the money for each of the servants. Coupled with the special sweet tea from the Duke's mansion, this suddenly became the biggest thing other than standing guard in front of the Qianqing Palace. of obesity.

Jia Jing is planning to start a new life completely, so he has an old relationship with Jia's mansion, such as Wang Ziteng, and the two marquises of the historian.However, these people all brought birthday presents, and there was a man named Xue whose wife and Mrs. Wang were sisters, and he also gave a very generous birthday present.

The birthday banquet was very lively, and everyone who received the invitations said they would come. Fortunately, the new Duke Rong's mansion is big enough, and everyone sat down.More than [-] big tables are placed in Huifang Garden, singing and juggling is very lively.

The emperor also joined in. He originally wanted to come by himself. Since he became the emperor, he has deeply realized that only ancestor worship and autumn hunting can leave the palace, and maybe a Fengchan will be added.The emperor's wayward thoughts were stopped by a few servants kneeling on the ground, and finally the emperor had to write a birthday letter for Eunuch Dai to take it with him.

The emperor personally bestowed the letter, causing all the officials present to kneel down in excitement. It was really worthwhile to receive this invitation today, and I also paid tribute to the emperor's calligraphy.So everyone had a new understanding of Jia Jing's favored degree, especially the people in the Imperial College, who sat very upright, no accident, we can be regarded as the future censor or even the prime minister's mentor.

There are also those adults who have unmarried girls of the right age at home. This group of grandchildren, three generations and four bachelors, no matter which one looks very pleasing to the eye.

Rong Engong's actual age is a bit older, but he doesn't look old, and he is the only surviving first-class gentleman. According to this posture, there is still hope for promotion in the future; Jia Zhen, a wife died in front of him, and another He was dismissed, but this couldn't stand the fact that he was the only heir of Duke Rong En. Although the title of Duke Ning was passed to Jia Rong, there was still a title of first-class Duke waiting for him.

Not to mention Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, who are upright in appearance, Jia Qiang is loyal, and Jia Rong is the only seedling of Rong Engong's three generations.Rong Engong also put a lot of effort into cultivating them. He personally went to the Imperial Academy to ask a teacher to teach them. In addition, Rong Engong is the emperor's confidant. These two children can already see the potential stocks in the future.

The birthday banquet was busy all day long, and there were still three days of porridge giving and other ceremonies, but Jia Jing didn't need to participate in this personally.

A few days after the birthday banquet, Duke Rong En's mansion received a birthday gift from Lin Ruhai. The servant who gave the gift couldn't stop apologizing, saying that there was a sudden rainstorm on the road, which delayed the day. I hope the grandfather is not to blame.

The gift list is commonplace, it is something that is often given by ordinary people, and it will not appear particularly expensive.Open it and see, besides Lin Ruhai's letter, there is also Daiyu's letter. Is this playing the family card?

Daiyu's letter was nothing special, nothing could be seen, but Lin Ruhai's letter was sincere. First, he thanked Jia Jing for treating his son and daughter, and later said that he knew he had no friendship with Jia Jing, and he only hoped that he could At the critical moment, because he had treated Daiyu's illness, Daiyu called him uncle again, and just took care of him a little bit.

Jia Jing frowned when he read the letter. He was still worried that Lin Ruhai would not give up, or was trying to plot against him?Jia Jing felt uneasy, and felt that the letter was not beyond what a friendly person should write, so he put it aside for the time being.

Unexpectedly, not long after, when he went to chat in the emperor's imperial study as usual, he heard that the Xunyan Yushi had died in office. Isn't this Lin Ruhai? Why did he die!

Jia Jing hurriedly found a place where no one was around, recruited Taoist priests and monks, and asked them to inquire about the news.

When the two came back at night, their faces were still a little embarrassed.

It turned out that Lin Ruhai died in his aunt's room, and Jia Min beat the aunt to death in a fit of rage, but this aunt's family was a landlord, so she was considered a good concubine. If they are dead, how can they let it go.If the government hadn't come forward to lock him up, Lin Ruhai wouldn't be able to live well in the first seven days.

As soon as Jia Jing heard that Lin Ruhai died in his aunt's room, he knew that he had taken the elixir he gave, and wanted to leave the Lin family a queen, but he didn't know why Jia Min ruined it again.The more Jia Jing thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he dug out the small wooden box where Lin Ruhai sent the letter that day.He even put the gift list in the arms of the giver, why did he find a wooden box to put the letter in?

At this glance, he really saw that something was wrong. There were interlayers on the four walls of the wooden box, and there were more things hidden in the thick carved lid, a total of 150 million taels of silver notes.There was also a letter inside, saying that the 250 million taels were actually a salt tax. No one except the old emperor knew about it, and now it was all given to Jia Jing.Jia Min will not live long, I hope he can take care of Daiyu and his aunt's child who does not know whether it is a boy or a girl.

Jia Jing slapped the bank notes in his hand.After thinking about it for one night, he went directly to the emperor. He still remembered that his son, grandson and daughter had been wandering away for more than a month, and Qiang'er, who was all thin and out of shape, and King Zhongshun who plotted against his life at the last moment. This time, he might be able to avenge his revenge.

Since the beginning of summer, Lin Ruhai has been seriously ill twice. In the dog days, everyone is sweating, but he is still wearing a thin jacket.Even if the doctor didn't say anything, he knew that he might not live long.

Jia Min doesn't have to worry too much, there are not a few pills left from Jia Jing's medicine, it's nothing more than a few months for him to wait on the bridge.But what about Daiyu, is the Lin family going to die in his hands?So when Jia Jing talked about the function of the elixir last time, it became clearer.

"This pill is for locking Yang Qi... Once you have intercourse, all the Yang Qi in your body will flow into the woman's body, and the son will not be able to escape..."

Before dying, he decided to take a gamble.

First he ate the elixir given by Jia Jing, and then in the name of Chongxi, he took in a daughter from a small family.

"Min'er, you and I don't have a queen, what will Daiyu do in the future?" Lin Ruhai held Jia Min with a thin hand.

Jia Min wiped away her tears and said, "Unfortunately, I couldn't leave a queen for the master."

The two chatted a few more words about their son and Chongxi. Lin Ruhai thought that this implied that it was almost the same, and after Chongxi, his health did improve a lot.After his death, it will take more than a month to complete the funeral. At that time, the pulse can tell that there is a child. Jia Min will not be too sad if he has this hope.

He thought that the Lin family's ancestral property was less than 100 million, and in the end, only one or two tenths of it would be enough in the hands of his son and daughter.He died in office again, and the emperor would be sympathetic.Jia Jing won the Sacred Heart, and it would be best if he could take Daiyu and his son back and raise them. Taking a step back, even if the emperor appointed someone to raise him, Jia Jing only said a few words in it, and mentioned a few words from time to time. Children can also grow up well.

But Lin Ruhai obviously miscalculated the jealousy of a middle-aged woman in her 40s.

Jia Min herself hadn't had sex with Lin Ruhai for a year. She rushed into her aunt's room that day and saw that she obviously died after having sex!Immediately burning with anger, he ignored everything else, and beat the person to death first.This cut off the only possible heir of the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai's plan stopped here.

Jia Jing knelt in front of the emperor, this was the first time he knelt down in a serious manner, the emperor was frightened, he hurried out from behind the desk, grabbed Jia Jing's arms, and wanted to help him up.

Jia Jing struggled a few times, stood up according to the emperor's order, but still bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I went to Jiangnan once at the beginning of this year, and the late emperor asked me to go and see Lin Ruhai. As a branch clan, Lin Ruhai can be considered as a relative of the minister's family."

The emperor nodded, except that Jia Jing was sent by the first emperor to go to the south of the Yangtze River, he knew the rest.

Jia Jing was silent for a while, and then said: "Although Lin Ruhai's health is not good, he will definitely not die suddenly... Besides, according to the late emperor, Lin Ruhai probably has a lot of money in his hand... maybe two million or so. huge."

The emperor heard this in his ears. He looked through the previous books and the treasury's income and expenditure books in the past two days, and found that the tax money in the Jiangnan area was lower than in previous years.The emperor found it strange, but after hearing what Jia Jing said, it seemed that he could match.

So, Lin Ruhai was killed because of the money in his hand?Is it the seventh brother or the eldest brother?

The elder brother is more likely, compared to the two, only the elder brother is likely to know that Lin Ruhai has a lot of money in his hand.

Jia Jing waited until the emperor went back and forth in the room for a few times, and said: "The last time I went to King Zhongshun's house, it seemed that the appearance of the prince was not quite right."

This time it was almost a certainty, and the emperor believed it.The thing now is to find out who owns the money.The emperor carefully recalled the notes presented by the local magistrate after Lin Ruhai died, and it seems that everything is going on as usual.

Seeing that the emperor was thinking about something again, Jia Jing gave some guidance in a timely manner, "Your Majesty might as well wait a little longer and see how Lin Ruhai's widow behaves, as well as the movements of the kings in Beijing. Don't startle the snake."

"That's right, I didn't catch the case last time. I only punished the seventh brother and let him escape. This time, I will definitely get the stolen goods!"

Although the emperor didn't mention his name, Jia Jing also used the word kings, which can include all the emperor's brothers, but who else is there besides King Zhongshun?

The second brother went back to train again, the fifth brother seemed to have completely let go, drinking and having fun every day, and lived a very leisurely life, the seventh brother was guarding the emperor's tomb, it is said that because he was too close to the former emperor, he still had nightmares at night.Apart from the eldest brother, it is difficult to suspect that he is only 14 years old this year and is still raising the eighth brother in the palace, or that the one who is about to be born may be the fetus of the ninth brother.

The emperor arranged for no one to mention, and Jia Jing also went back to arrange.

With the degree of intimacy between Jia Min and the Rong Mansion, and the fact that Lin Ruhai is the only direct descendant of the Lin family, after the burial is over, Jia Min will definitely bring Daiyu to Beijing.

There is also King Zhongshun, knowing that Lin Ruhai died suddenly, he has to worry about the huge sum of money in his hands, orphans and widows, even if the Rong Mansion is added, it is not enough for King Zhongshun to calculate alone.

What he has to do is to tie the Rong Mansion and King Zhongshun tightly together.

At that time, the Rong Mansion will be gone, and King Zhongshun will not be able to stir up any troubles. Then it will be regarded as avenging the sea and the sky will be brighter.
