History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

The fuming of rebels with drugs in front of Zhengyang Gate is still going on, but the court reacted quickly. At the same time, the fourth master issued an imperial decree to ban drugs.

This time, as if he didn't react, he also took a breath.

Then I turned my head to look at the Zhengyang Gate, but in just ten days, the people locked in the prison were already so skinny that they couldn't look like human beings.

No wonder the emperor scoured the entire capital for drugs in the imperial guards. It turns out that the effect of this thing is so terrifying.

In front of the Zhengyang Gate, there were not many rebels who could persevere. Most of them had already surrendered, just to beg for a daily drug.

The words of drugs quickly spread through the newspapers, spread throughout the capital, and then spread outwards, gradually forming a storm.

When the storm spread to Guangzhou, many people's faces changed drastically, and they regarded drugs as monsters, but they wanted to leave only to find that they were already addicted.

Knowing that this is not a good thing, they still can't let go of it. Many people have secretly smoked drugs and it has turned into darkness.

It didn't take long for a team sent by the imperial court to enter Guangdong Province.

These people went straight to Guangdong and quickly found out all the officials who were addicted to drugs.

This caused the entire Guangdong officialdom to be jittery, and many people were honest like quails.

A dozen or so drug-addicted officials were wrenched out of the city, and this ghostly appearance immediately attracted the attention of the people.

The rest of the officials couldn't help feeling resentful. Seeing that the court didn't give these people face like this, they can only say that these officials must not be able to become officials.

Then the nerve was stretched, and a drug was added to the things that could not be touched.

Many people have heard of the rumor that Fushou Gao is a fairy medicine, and many people have also sneered at it. This time it was confirmed that Fushou Gao is a poison, and everyone who heard it became vigilant.

The officials dispatched by the imperial court to various ports have already taken office. Not long after the reform of each port, only a list was left. All the items brought by foreigners who went to the Qing Dynasty for business must be on the list.If there is a new item that you want to clear, you must first submit an application to the customs. After inspection, it will not affect the Qing before allowing entry.

The emergence of this line of defense caught those foreigners by surprise. Many of the things they carried on board were not on the list, which made it impossible for these things to pass through the customs. If they could not pass through the customs, they could not be sold. go back.

The foreigners thought of a way, which was to trade with the merchant ships of the Qing Dynasty at sea, but this loophole was quickly blocked.

Even if they traded at sea, merchants from the Qing Dynasty could not bring them into the customs.

The prisoners in front of the Zhengyang Gate in the capital stayed on display for more than a month, and they were sent back after all the people in the capital had firmly remembered this lesson.

And the whole capital seems to be calm, but some private turmoil is hidden under the calm surface.

In the past, resistance to foreigners was only superficial, but now most people who associate with foreigners are wary.

If it is said that foreigners don't know the effects of Fushou Gao, few people will believe it if the word spreads.

After all, there are propaganda in the newspapers, many countries in Southeast Asia are controlled by these drugs.

Regardless of whether it is true or false in the newspaper, when the news spreads, it will affect people's senses to some extent.

Of course, such incidents have no effect on ordinary people, and only wealthy families can afford the so-called drugs.

The reason why the drug incident was exposed was just a personal reminder.

If there is such a bad idea, they all want to use drugs to commit crimes, and the laws of the court are not laid out.

Today, the imperial court has integrated a large platform dedicated to providing laws.

Basically, there are new laws and regulations appearing every day, but these laws and regulations have to pass the review in the end. After the review, it will be passed to the emperor, and the emperor will inform the world after passing it.

For example, this time prohibiting the distribution of drugs, a series of laws have been formed for drugs, to block and stop them, whether they are smoking themselves, luring others to smoke or secretly selling, there are laws to deal with.

Drugs have caused far-reaching effects, but I can't see anything for the time being.

But the capital really seemed to have calmed down.

Seeing this, the Supreme Emperor called Fourth Master over.

When fourth master was the emperor recently, Prince Li was also there.

After the fourth master finished his salute, the Supreme Emperor said to him directly, "Your second brother is also old and can't afford to make troubles. Don't burden him any more in the future."

Fourth Master blinked his eyes when he heard it, and readily agreed.

I have a general understanding of Obaro's situation, and the fourth master is going to send a businessman to continue to go to Obaro, so that he can get a better understanding of those foreigners.

In this way, there is really no need for the prince to pass by.

I don't know what the second brother suffered there this time. He cut off the news a few years ago, but this time when he came back, he even lowered his face and asked the Supreme Emperor to intercede with the fourth master.

Prince Li, who was sitting by the side, picked up the teacup, as if he didn't exist.

Seeing that the fourth son agreed so quickly, the Supreme Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

Over the past few years, the Supreme Emperor has developed a habit of telling the fourth child directly if there is anything to do, without beating around the bush.

Anyway, my son is very filial and never tried to hide it from him.

The Taishanghuang completed the set goal, so he gave the house to the two sons, and let them talk by themselves.

Prince Li was the first to ask, "Over there in Macau..."

Fourth Master didn't wait for him to finish, and said first, "Macau has already sent people to deal with it, and try to find an opportunity to take that piece of land back from the foreigners."

Prince Li nodded and said, "That's good."

Fourth master put down his teacup and said, "Second brother, there is something that needs to be decided by you."

Prince Li looked over, "Just say it."

Fourth Master was silent for a moment, and told about Qin Keqing.

"When I found out about her life experience, she had already passed away. Right now, I have not moved the Jia family or the concubine Jia. I am waiting for your second brother to come back and deal with it personally."

Prince Li was a little surprised when he heard that he still had a daughter, and then he heard that the daughter he had never met had passed away, and he felt a little angry in his heart.

For this sudden daughter, Prince Li did not feel any fluctuations in his heart, he had many children, and there were many sons and daughters in the palace.

This wandering daughter, at most, just sighed in his heart. If she was still alive, he would not mind rectifying her name, but this daughter has poured a layer of sewage on him, and now this is still being grasped. , and even blackmailed the fourth child.

The family affection in Prince Li's heart due to blood relationship disappeared very quickly.

However, he was angry with the Rongguo Mansion. You must know that the Rongguo Mansion has always been Prince Li's disciples. These people hid his daughter. Even if he didn't know it, he should take the initiative to tell it.

Then what did these people do, they married his daughter to an inhumane person.

When Prince Li thought of this, he wished he could slap Rongguo Mansion.

"Second brother, if you have any ideas, just say it."

Prince Li gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I am sure that no daughter is left outside, and these matters are up to you, Your Majesty." It doesn't matter if such a daughter who has smeared the face of the royal family refuses to admit it.

However, it is one thing not to admit it, and those who bully his daughter cannot be let go.

Fourth master obviously heard the meaning of Prince Li's words, and directly wiped out the matter.

Fourth Master nodded, since Prince Li did not recognize this daughter, then Concubine Xiande committed the crime of deceiving the emperor by using this as an excuse.

It stands to reason that Concubine Jia can be dealt with right now, but it is still necessary for her to catch those people who have no evil intentions, and this person cannot be moved for the time being.

Within two days, the Supreme Emperor reorganized his itinerary and prepared to drive to Rehe Palace, accompanied by Prince Li who had just returned to Beijing.

The Supreme Emperor said something before leaving, and Fourth Master listened respectfully.

After seeing off the Supreme Emperor, Fourth Master returned to Yuanmingyuan.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Minning sent him over with an ice bowl and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Fourth master raised his head and said with a sigh.

"The Supreme Emperor told me that he has a few years to live, and he only hopes that his sons can die for him before his bed."

Minning understood the meaning of these words, "Does the Supreme Emperor want you to call Prince Zhi back?"

The fourth master nodded, "This time the second brother is back, Khan Ama naturally thought of the elder brother who is far away from the Central Plains."

It's not that the fourth master is jealous of Prince Zhi returning to the Central Plains, but he thinks of the meaning revealed in the Supreme Emperor's words.

The Supreme Emperor's lifespan is short. Originally, the Supreme Emperor was standing behind him, so Fourth Master was able to issue all kinds of government orders with such recklessness.

Now that he heard that the Supreme Emperor might leave and that there would be no one to support him in the future, Fourth Master felt a sense of panic.

A kind of as if I have really become a loner.

Minning didn't understand the meaning of the fourth master's words, but followed the words, "It's really time for the prince to come back, he is not too young, if he gets sick or something in America, This is unreasonable. Since the Supreme Emperor misses someone, he should take this opportunity to send someone back."

Minning took out an ice bowl from the food box and put it in front of Fourth Master, then put his hands on the desk and asked Fourth Master, "But if Prince Zhi came back from America, who should be sent to take charge of a navy?" ?”

At present, this navy is alone overseas. If an ambitious person is selected, it is very likely that this army will not be able to return.

This is because it is very troublesome to choose candidates, and the prince has been in charge of it all these years.

Now that the Supreme Emperor has already spoken, it is not suitable to leave Prince Zhizhi wandering outside.

Fourth master also felt a headache for this candidate.

Right now, the navy is divided into three parts, one part is residential, one part is residential in the East China Sea, and the other part in Nanyang is going to the New World, enclosing part of the land.

These navies have the same origin, but they were divided into three armies after they became armies, and then the soldiers in the army retired and exchanged blood, and the relationship became more and more distant.

It was because the relationship was getting farther and farther that the fourth master in the court could feel at ease.

The navy in the East China Sea was handed over to Ertai, and the navy in Nanyang was led by soldiers promoted by the fourth master himself.

The only one that became Si Ye's heart trouble was the overseas branch, which was previously in charge of Prince Zhi, and since Prince Zhi's family and heirs all stayed in the capital, Si Ye was not worried that he would make waves.

But there has been no war for many years now, so there has been no outstanding generals, and the only one who has emerged is Ertai. The fourth master is still a treasure, so let him lead the new army all the time.

But Ertai belongs to the army and is not good at water warfare, so it is useless even if he is transferred there.

Fourth Master once again felt the lack of people in the court, and couldn't help but think of Minning's proposal to cultivate talents by himself.

Fourth Master felt ruthless in his heart. This time, the General Academy must be built, and he must never worry about the talent issue again.

But far water can't quench near thirst, even if the general school is built right now, no suitable candidate can be found.

Not to mention someone who won fourth master's trust.

Minning seemed to see Fourth Master's troubles, and tentatively said, "Master, I can recommend someone for you."

Fourth master looked over immediately, his eyes were deep as if he wanted to look into her heart.

Minning pretended not to see the temptation in his eyes, smiled and said, "Lin Yuan has a nephew named Lin Mo, who was the first to use naval training methods on board. The situation in the New World is well known, and the understanding of the East China Sea is not bad. Moreover, this person was hired by Prince Zhi to be a naval instructor a few years ago. It can be said that he is half of the navy. I think it is better to send one The children of the royal family will go there, and then Lin Mo will assist."

Only then did Fourth Master withdraw his eyes, lowered his head and picked up the ice bowl with a silver spoon, "Then who do you think is appropriate to send there?"

Minning thought for a while and said, "I think Shiliu is not bad. He is also loyal to the master, and he is young. He can be sent to the New World to train for a few years, and he can be on his own after returning."

Fourth master turned around in his mind, he might as well give a secret praise, this is indeed a good way.

He hadn't turned the corner before, thinking of sending someone who was as good at running the army as Prince Zhi to take charge.

But he forgot that the coach doesn't need to do it himself, he just needs to keep the army from leaving his hands.

As for the Lin Mo recommended by Minning, Fourth Master didn't take it seriously. Anyway, Shiliu would definitely be around someone worthy of him in the past, so Lin Mo also stayed, so it didn't count as her favor.

After solving this matter, fourth master felt refreshed.

"Then I will order Sixteen to go to the New World and exchange the eldest brother back." At this time, the fourth master had completely forgotten that the Supreme Emperor hoped that he would have all his sons before he died.

In fact, he took the initiative to ignore it. Now that he has too few generals, he is not at ease sending anyone to the New World, and he can only trust people who share the blood of Aixinjueluo.

What's more, Shiliu is also his confidant. Compared with the relatively slippery Fifteenth, Shiliu has fourth master's heart even more.

Time passed quickly, and it was August in a blink of an eye. In August, there was a happy event for the royal family, that is, Er Ge Ge was released from the cabinet.

Concubine Qi was busy with her daughter's dowry some time ago, this time when her daughter was about to get married, she hid in her room and started crying.

She gave birth to many children, only two sons and one daughter survived.

The eldest son is not in good health and has been recuperating in a hospital in the suburbs. The second son is the kind who loses it as soon as he goes out.

There is only this only daughter who has been with her for the past few years. If Concubine Qi was a bit patriarchal in the past, after these few years, her heart has been warmed by her daughter.

Thinking back to my daughter getting married, she is from someone else's family, and I can't help but feel a little sad for a while.

Because Er Gege was about to get married, he postponed the construction of several academies in the capital.

Er Gege got married in the princess mansion, and the fourth master made a special exception for Concubine Qi to go to the princess mansion to help her daughter take care of it.

Minning did not forget to add makeup.

Concubine Qi received the makeup from the noble concubine, and she and Er Gege were dumbfounded.

In fact, the few boxes of dowry added by the imperial concubine are all priceless.

Needless to say, that box of jewelry, which could be seen as a tribute, and the shares of several factories are enough to make people speechless.

And the price of these two boxes can completely eclipse the dowry prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Concubine Qi felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Mobilize the private treasury of Lord Long Live.

She didn't need to look at her to know that those boxes of jewelry must have been taken out of Long Live Lord's private treasury.

Apart from the queen, these good things can only be owned by the emperor.

Concubine Qi faltered for a long time and couldn't speak. After thousands of words, Huicheng finally came together with one sentence, "In the future, we must remember your love for An'eniang."

Er Gege's face was a little red, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "My daughter remembers it, and I will definitely help An'eniang manage those colleges well in the future."

Then she looked happily at the jewelry in the box, no girl could escape these beautiful jewelry, not to mention that the value of these jewelry is not low.

Er Gege's eyes were bent, and his heart was full of joy.

"Hongshi, why are you still hanging out? Isn't your second sister getting married these days?" Hong Ming happened to meet Hongshi outside, and asked in surprise.

Hiroshi is sitting in front of the window of a teahouse, and he can be seen from outside the street.

Hong Ming seldom comes here, but there is a very famous antique shop here, and this antique shop often sells some good things.

There are still a few months until the Longevity Festival. Because of the errands he had done in the past few years, Hongming was promoted to Beizi. In addition, Ama has not been in Daqing and has not enjoyed the care of his fourth uncle these years. Hongming plans to find a good one The object was presented to the fourth uncle on the Longevity Festival.

As for meeting Hiroshi, it was really an accident.

He was still surprised, and then looked around, but he didn't find any stadium nearby.

So what did Hiroshi come to this place for?

After Hongshi heard the voice, he withdrew his eyes and turned to see Hongming. He was full of depression, how could he still meet acquaintances in this place?

"My second sister's marriage has its own rules. I don't need to intervene. It just needs to go there on the day my second sister gets married."

After finishing speaking, he asked Hongming again, "Why did you come to this place?"

Hongming pointed to the antique shop diagonally opposite the tea shop and said, "Yesterday, the antique shop bought a good thing. I came here specially today. Would you like to go there together to appreciate it?"

After a day, Hongshi stood up and settled the money for tea, "It happens that I have nothing to do, so I'll go over with you to have a look."

Seeing his impatient look, Hong Ming laughed a little, and then followed him out of the teahouse.

After arriving at the antique shop, the two entered the shop one after another, and there really were a lot of good things in the shop.

With Hongshi's vision, he saw several real things.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he has any achievements in antiques, but that his vision is different. He has lived in the pile of antiques since he was a child. Although he can't tell what things look like, he can feel them.

With this vision, Hiroshi really didn't see many things in this store.

Then it can only explain one problem, or there are not many real things in this store, or there are some antiques that Hongshi has not touched before.

As soon as Hong Ming entered the antique shop, he received a grand welcome from the shopkeeper. This Mr. Bei Zi was a big customer in the shop, and he thought that he would confiscate everything he was looking for.

Six months ago, Beizi spread the news that in order to find a good item, several antique shops in the capital were secretly competing, sending people from all over the country to collect good things.

This time, I found a good thing in the store, so I quickly sent someone to notify Master Bei.

The shopkeeper had hope in his heart, hoping that this treasure would be favored by Master Bei, so that it would not only increase the reputation of the antique shop, but also make a lot of money.

"Where are the things?" Hong Ming glanced at the store and asked the shopkeeper beside him.

The shopkeeper had a friendly smile on his face, "It's on the second floor, please Master Bei Zi to come with me."

Hong Ming nodded, and then said to Hong Shi, "I want to go up to the second floor, are you downstairs or come up with me?"

When Hongshi heard the words, he turned his head and said, "I'll go up with you."

Only then did Hong Ming say to the shopkeeper beside him, "Let's go."

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "You two, please follow me." After speaking, he led the way.

A door curtain next to the counter was lifted, revealing the stairs inside.

The three of them went upstairs, and the upstairs seemed even quieter. The shopkeeper asked the two to sit down and served tea before turning around to pick up the antiques.

Not long after, the shopkeeper came over with a locked box.

Hong Shi drank his tea and remained motionless, but Hong Ming looked forward with anticipation in his eyes.

The shopkeeper put the box on the table, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, carefully unlocked the lock on the clip, and then slowly opened the lid, revealing the contents in front of the two of them.

"This!" Hong Ming looked at the things in the box and stood up excitedly.

Hong Shi glanced at the things in the box and frowned, and said, "It's just a glass, can you be so excited about using it?"

"Glass, glass?"

As soon as Hongshi said this, both Hongming and the shopkeeper were dumbfounded.

It was Hongming who came to his senses first, and explained with a wry smile, "This is not a glass, this is a crystal cup."

Hongshi realized that he had made a joke, so he didn't take it seriously, and continued to retort cheekily: "Even if it's a crystal cup, it's not worth your excitement." There are a lot of jade cups at home, so naturally he wouldn't put a crystal cup in it. on heart.

After being interrupted by him, Hong Ming regained his composure. He pulled the box in front of him, and carefully lifted the crystal cup through the cloth of the box.

This crystal cup is not so much a cup as a vase, much like a vase used for arranging flowers in the Yuanmingyuan, but this cup is much smaller than a vase.

"Open the window." Hong Ming ordered the shopkeeper while observing the cup in his hand.

The shopkeeper was busy, and went to open the window every day, and the sun shone in through the window.

Hong Ming shines the cup in his hand through the sunlight, the body of the cup is amber in color, slightly powdery, only the upper half is somewhat transparent, and the lower half is more cloudy in color.This kind of cup looks a bit like a glass from a distance, but when you hold it in your hand, you will know that it is definitely different from glass when you shine it against the sun.

Hongming carefully put the quilt back into the box, and said to the shopkeeper, "Okay, I'll take this, and go back to the house to get the money." After closing the lid of the box, he explained to Hongshi, "This crystal cup Don't look ordinary, but they all have hundreds of thousands of years of history." What she fancy is the added value of history.

A look of surprise appeared on Hongshi's face, "It's been so long?" Then he looked down at the box and asked, "Then what year is this from?"

Hong Ming re-locked the box, asked the shopkeeper for the key, and then said, "I'll keep the time at this time, and the exact year will have to be checked later."

At this time, the beaming shopkeeper said, "This item was received from someone in a county in the south of the Yangtze River. At first, I thought it was a glass cup, but later I found out that it was a crystal cup and bought it. Finally, our people sent someone to investigate. This crystal cup was handed down from the ancestors of that family, and it is said that it is a cultural relic from the Han Dynasty."

Hong Ming looked at the shopkeeper with a smile, he knew that what the shopkeeper said would only increase the value of the crystal cup.

Seeing that Mr. Bei had seen through his meaning, the shopkeeper shut his mouth and didn't have the nerve to continue.

Hongshi rubbed his chin, "So, it has a history of 2000 years."

Hongming turned his head and said to Hongshi, "Don't pay attention to him, who knows if what he said is true." Then he looked at the shopkeeper who felt wronged and said, "Okay, if you like it, you can take it, and you don't want to be a lion." Open your mouth and know how to measure it."

The shopkeeper shuddered when he heard this, and quickly slapped himself on the mouth, then lowered his head and said, "I dare not lie to you, little one!"

"That's good." Hong Ming picked up the box and said to Hong Shi, "My business is over, do you want to go back with me or stay here?"

Hong Shi got up and said, "I'm fine now, I just went to take a look at Second Sister's."

"That's a good relationship, and it happened to be on the way." After speaking, the two followed the shopkeeper and went down the stairs.

After going downstairs, a customer came into the shop that was originally empty.

Hong Ming carefully walked forward with the box in his arms, he didn't notice Hong Shi behind him, his eyes lit up when he saw the guest.

"Master Jia, several new items have arrived in our shop recently, would you like to take a look?"

Hong Shi, who had already reached the door, suddenly stopped and said to Hong Ming, "I suddenly remembered that there is one more thing to do, you should go back first."

Hongming was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask further, "That's fine, don't stay outside for too long, Er Gege is going to get married, and you, a real younger brother, don't even care about it, so it's not good to spread the word."

Hiroshi waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, I know what's in my mind, you can go first."

After he finished speaking, he didn't stop at the antique shop, but returned to the teahouse where he stopped before.

Hongshi ordered a pot of tea again, and he sat near the door, looking at the antique shop, no, to be precise, it was the new customer who entered the antique shop.

Hongshi lurked aside like a very patient hunting cheetah, and waited for about an hour before the Mr. Jia in the shop went out.

Hongshi immediately got up, tidied his clothes, made a handsome appearance, and walked towards Mr. Jia.

As he walked, he accidentally bumped into Mr. Jia's shoulder, causing Mr. Jia, who hadn't noticed at first, to let go of his hand, and the jade horse in his hand fell to the ground, breaking a corner.

"My jade horse!" Lord Jia shouted with his head bowed and his feet stamped.

Hong Shi hurriedly stopped in astonishment, turned to look at the jade horse on the ground and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention just now."

Mrs. Jia was so angry that his eyes were red, he tightened Hongshi's collar and said, "Can you just apologize? I am a Yuma. I bought a Yuma for 2000 taels. If you don't pay for it, you won't be able to leave today." .”

Hongshi said apologetically, "It's my fault, and I will definitely pay for it. Now that I don't have any money with me, why don't you go to my house with me to get the money?"

A look of suspicion appeared on Mrs. Jia's face, "Are you trying to trick me into running away in a remote place?"

Reluctantly, Hongshi untied a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and handed it to Mr. Jia, "Hey, my jade pendant can at least be worth 1000 taels. I will mortgage it to you first, and you can go get it with me." Money, return the jade pendant to me after you take the money."

Master Jia snatched the jade pendant and said, "I just believe you this time." Then he picked up the jade horse on the ground with distress, and said to Hongshi with an ugly face, "Where do you live? It's not in front lead the way."

My family lives in the palace.

Hongshi slandered in his heart, saying that doesn't scare you to death!

Thinking of what he wanted to achieve this time, Hongshi resisted the impulse in his heart, and said to Mr. Jia with a nonchalant expression, "My family lives in Crescent Moon Alley, it's a bit far away from here. Why don't we take a carriage."

Mrs. Jia immediately said, "You don't need to call a carriage, my family lives nearby, so I'll send someone to pull a carriage over here." He stopped a person and gave him a few pennies to report the news.

The carriage came quickly, and it was a two-horse carriage. It could be seen that Mr. Jia had an extraordinary family background, and the two-horse carriage was at least a nobleman.

The coachman stopped beside Jia Daren, jumped down and said: "I have seen the elder."

Lord Jia waved his hand, and impatiently asked the coachman to stand up, before telling Hongshi, "Hurry up and get into the carriage, boy."

His Hongshi followed after getting into the carriage, and said to the coachman after he sat down firmly, "Take us to Crescent Moon Alley."

The coachman sat outside, said "Okay", then flicked his whip, and the horse began to trot.

Right now they are in Chongwenmen, and it won't take long to go to Crescent Moon Hutong.

But this refers to taking a carriage. If it is replaced by walking, there are still two hours to go.

Crescent Hutong is quite famous in Beijing, because Crescent Hutong is very close to Prince Yi's Mansion.

Prince Yi is now a celebrity around the emperor, with power in his hands, and belongs to the most powerful person in the capital.

For such a person, no matter what is around him, he can ascend to heaven.

For example, Crescent Hutong often appears in Beijing tabloids.

At the very beginning, Master Jia hadn't realized it yet, he was only concerned with the broken jade horse, and when he got into the carriage, he was thinking about whether he could make it up again.

Halfway through the carriage, he suddenly realized that Crescent Moon Hutong sounded so familiar, it turned out to be the Hutong next to Prince Yi's Mansion.

Master Jia couldn't help looking sideways at the young man beside him, and then he muttered in his heart.

Could this be the heir of Prince Yi?

No, the age is not right.

Master Jia thought hard, but he didn't think of any famous families living near Prince Yi's mansion.

Thinking of some headaches in the end, I gave up, but don't force yourself.

This time, I really can’t blame him. It’s because Prince Yi’s Mansion is too famous, and its reputation covers up the other houses in that area. As a result, when mentioning the names of the nearby alleys, the first reaction is Prince Yi’s Mansion.

Master Jia withdrew his eyes, originally thinking that the young man should have nothing to do with the palace.

Then I felt that I was overthinking, so what if it had something to do with the palace?It's not that he was blackmailed, it was he who offered to ask for compensation.

What's more, his niece is an imperial concubine in the palace, what is there to be afraid of?

The carriage came to Crescent Moon Hutong. Although the status of people living in Crescent Moon Hutong was extraordinary, it was not worth mentioning compared with Prince Yi's Mansion next to it.

Hongshi lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside the car, and when he reached the door of a mansion, he called out in advance.

The carriage stopped in front of a mansion without a door plaque, Master Jia and Hongshi got out of the carriage one after another.

Hiroshi smiled and asked Mr. Jia to go in.

Master Jia found that he was just an ordinary person, so he returned to his arrogant attitude.

Hong Shi also took it to heart, he led the way ahead, and after knocking on the door, the servants inside came over to say hello, "I've seen Si Ye."

Hongshi nodded, and said, "Go to the cashier and pay 2000 taels of silver, no banknotes."

The servants responded hurriedly.

Only then did Hongshi turn his head and say to Mr. Jia, "My lord, please come in one more time."

Mrs. Jia seemed a little hesitant, but finally declined, "I'd better wait outside, you quickly take the bank note, and I'll return the jade pendant and jade horse to you."

Hongshi thought to himself, how could it be possible to let you leave so easily after finally attracting you.

Hongshi immediately showed a smile, and the words implied temptation, "There are many antiques in my house, and there are also many ancient jades. I think the adults are also people of the same way. It is better to meet each other than to meet by chance. It is better to come to the mansion to watch together." Let's go." Then Hiroshi described several antique appearances in detail.

This made Mrs. Jia feel itchy. Apart from female sex, his favorite thing in his life is antiques, and even antiques are ranked ahead of female sex.

This time when he heard it, he knew that he didn't have these antiques in his collection. Immediately, his heart felt like being brushed by a feather, and his heart was very itchy.

Looking at the carriage parked behind him, Lord Jia gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'm not welcome, but I still have something to say to the coachman at home."

Hiroshi said with a smile, "Please."
