[Red Mansion] Master is always taken away

The black-clothed assassins were all killed by Duke Rong, and the guards didn't have the kindness to collect their corpses. Tu Che hurriedly rode on and continued to move forward, ordering everyone to pass through the dense bamboo forest as soon as possible, but he was not very scared in his heart. Seeing Jia Amnesty's kung fu, even though the other people were terrified before, and even the timid little eunuch peed his pants, they were shocked after seeing Duke Rong wielding a sword. They thought in their hearts that another hundred An assassin, maybe the Duke of the country doesn't pay attention to it.

Jia She was holding a black sheath sword, the prince Tu Che had already approached Jia She's horse, and arrived at an open place, the moon was in the middle of the sky, the road was dark, everyone was tired, everyone stopped to rest, Jia She didn't care objected.

Because they didn't even think about being able to sleep in the open, they had to set up a proposed tent, which naturally belonged to His Royal Highness, but Tu Che smiled and asked Jia She to go and sleep together.

With a cold face, Jia She sat in front of the fire, looking at the burning water on the fire——

"Jia Qing!" Tu Che came over, saw his red face reflected by the flames, couldn't help but sit close to Jia Amnesty, and naturally there were attendants who prepared the cushions for the crown prince.

This time Jia She went south with only copper coins and a servant. After all, the crown prince was easy to follow. If he was not Rong Guogong, I am afraid that the servant would not be allowed to take it with him. Most of the other officials in the Eastern Palace did not have servants with them, but only a few princes. The little eunuch beside him was helping to serve him, and he didn't do his best to see if the other party was rich. If there was no reward, then you should serve yourself. Didn't you see that His Highness brought a dozen waiters... …

The copper coin bowed his head and presented it to His Royal Highness, knelt down to pay his respects, and then reported to the master: "Master, we didn't bring any eggs."

Hearing this, Jia She raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.

The copper coin had a tacit understanding, "I asked about the other people. There is no one..." He had a frowning face, and the master thought about it every time he came out, in the wilderness, why did he suddenly want to eat boiled eggs.

Tu Che was taken aback for a moment, and then he was happy.

Jia Qing is different.

He helped to ask the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch kowtowed: "Prince, eggs are not convenient to carry, we only brought dry food and some fruits and vegetables..." The guards were all eating dry food, fruits and vegetables are specially for the prince, others don't have this treatment.

Tu Che pondered for a moment, looked at Jia She who was frowning lightly, and suddenly felt that Jia She was so unhappy about the egg, which was quite funny.He waved his hand and said generously: "Go and follow my order and cook a few dishes for the Duke."

Before the eunuch agreed, Jia Amnesty stood up, "No need!" he said.

Because of the assassination of the bamboo forest, there are no mountains or trees in the place where they choose to sleep at this time, but there is a small stream for the convenience of fetching water.

He looked in the direction upstream of the stream, and there was indeed a low mountain indistinctly. Although he could see it, but there was no road, and the night was dark, so it was inconvenient to ride a horse. , he was lucky, and disappeared from everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.

There is no fuss about the copper coins. This is the master's light-hearted kung fu. In fact, they have seen the master's kung fu in the mansion. What flying needles, flying knives, whips... But the others were a little dumbfounded at this time. This kind of kung fu is rare in the Xia Dynasty. It is said that only a few people in the Jianghu have this kind of light-weight kung fu. Most of them practice it is external kung fu, and they also have internal strength. It is similar to the martial arts champion Su Qier. Strong enough to fly.

Tu Che's eyes lit up, he looked down on warriors at first, but those assassins were only stronger, and he had never seen anyone who was so quick to lighten his body, it was like "flying on the grass".Well, Tu Che only thought of this word. He thought that if he could learn this from Rongguo Public School, if he encountered an emergency, he could still... run away.

The word "run away" was a little insulting to Tu Che, but now that he and his good second brother are in the same situation, there is no telling what danger will happen to him.Tu Che narrowed his eyes dangerously. When he returns to Beijing, he will repay his dear second brother well!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the copper coins kept staring ahead, and the basin of water sitting on the fire kept boiling, "Master." He hurriedly stood up.

Tu Che saw that Jia She's figure was approaching. After a few ups and downs, Jia She's face emerged clearly in the firelight, but he seemed to be holding a bird's nest with one hand.

At this moment, he dusted off his robe. Today he was wearing a white body. Even so, he was still spotless, and he didn't know how to keep it so clean.

"Go wash it, and cook it." Jia Amnesty handed the bird's nest to the copper coin, and the copper coin hurriedly took it, but he almost lost one. He looked down and saw that the nest was full of bird eggs.

This... this, this is definitely not a litter!

Master, how many eggs in the bird's nest did you dig out? !

Copper money resisted asking, and went to the river to wash eggs seriously.

After a while, the eggs were cooked. Jia She cracked open the shell and ate the eggs seriously. During this time, he glanced at Tu Che. Tu Che was also eaten by the waiter, and then he shut up. .Although they are bird eggs, boiled eggs are not very tasty.

It's just that other people who were eating dry food were all staring at the other boiled eggs. Jia She didn't care about the remaining eggs after eating, and closed his eyes with his sword in his hand. Others swallowed and looked at the Duke. Master's cold face, he didn't bother, he could only watch the copper coins holding the remaining eggs and start eating, one by one...no one was left.

After eating and drinking enough copper coins, Jia She fell asleep with his knees crossed and his eyes closed. When Tu Che and the others woke up, they saw Jia She finish the last sword dance, withdrew his momentum, and inserted the sword into the scabbard.

The group arrived at Jinling City after half a day. Except for Jia She, who was still in a white robe, who was strangely spotless, the others, including the prince, were all dusty.

There are posts and government offices in Jinling, but the best places to stay are the Rongguo Mansion and the Zhen family. Tu Che followed Jia She to the old house of Rongguo Mansion in Jinling.

The servants in the old house were very lazy, the porter was kicked with copper coins, and then he knelt down and kowtowed, and then hurried to the housekeeper to order someone to clean the house.

Tu Che sneered: "The slaves in Jia Qing's family are really blessed."

Jia Amnesty didn't move his brows, but his breath became colder, Tong Qian hurried to urge everyone in the mansion, this is the prince's visit, although on the surface he concealed his identity, so there is no need to put on a big welcome posture, but what should be prepared for the prince is still there Get ready, besides, the master is also very picky about cleanliness.

After settling in, someone had already invited the magistrate over.

The prefect of Jinling City is now Jia Yucun. After Jia Yucun knew about Xin'er, the Zhen family naturally knew about it, and they hurried over to greet the Crown Prince.

Tu Che met Jia Yucun first, and as for the Zhen family—hmph, the weasel is uneasy and kind to celebrate the New Year!

After Jia Yucun came over, although he was surprised to see the prince and Jia Amnesty, his expression was still calm. He answered the prince's questions, and when he asked why he didn't send food to the nearby counties and towns, Jia Yucun cried: " Rong Chen wept and reported that there is no surplus grain in Jinling's granary."

"How could it be?" Tu Che didn't believe it. Jinling is a big city with several high-end rich counties under its jurisdiction. Only Shangyuan County next to Jinling was severely affected. Although other high-end counties suffered losses, most of them can still pay. enough food.

"It's raining heavily this year, and the granary is damp. I have already gone to inspect it many times, and ordered people to ventilate it from time to time, but...but God doesn't give us a way to survive! The food is still...all moldy!" Jia Yucun said. Kneeling down and crying with snot and tears.

Tu Che's face was very ugly. He really didn't expect to come to Jinling City to have such a result.

Jinling is the closest to Shangyuan County, so it should be the easiest way to adjust grain.

Jia Yucun said again: "Right now, the price of grain in Jinling is one price a day. I have already written a booklet. Please ask the Holy One to allocate grain from other places to make the price equal. Otherwise...otherwise, the people here will soon lose their food."

Hearing this, Tu Che was terrified. If what Jia Yucun said was true, plus Shangyuan County and other more than a dozen counties and towns that were affected by the disaster, if even Jinling was like this, then the situation would be too bad!

Jia Amnesty stared at Jia Yucun with cold eyes. For some reason, Jia Yucun couldn't help but shuddered.He raised his eyes and looked around, and met Jia She's eyes, he couldn't help feeling suffocated, feeling that the other's eyes seemed to penetrate his heart, see through his thoughts...

Jia Yucun was alert to this, Jia She knew this person when he was in Rongguo Mansion, he was not easy to get along with, and he was not friendly, so he refused to let the second master recommend him. Fortunately, the second master was kind and left the Wang family and With the connections of the Zhen family, he has now become the magistrate of Jinling, but he still hates the elder Jia She of the Rongguo Mansion in his heart, why did he offend him and treat him like this.

Although Tu Che believed Jia Yucun's words to a certain extent, he was not an idiot after all. He believed everything anyone said, and he knew a little about the behavior of the officials below him, even if it was the prefect's evasion.

He took people to the granary and opened several granaries in a row, all of them were moldy rice.

Jia She held the black sheath sword in his hand and looked at it coldly. Prince Tu Che shook his head, his expression was not good.

Tu Che was about to leave with an ugly face, but Jia She drew his sword and stabbed it in the middle of the sacks in the granary. After withdrawing the long sword, some grains of moldy rice were stained on the sword.

Everyone looked at him puzzled.

Jia She picked up the moldy rice and squeezed it, the rice grains scattered like dust...

Jia Yucun's eyes were a little dazzled, and it shouldn't be like this even with moldy rice.

Immediately, someone explained that Rong Guogong was so good at kung fu, what is the kung fu of crushing rice into ashes.He also talked about the assassins last night, Jia Yucun's eyes flashed, and several guards pricked up their ears to listen.

Jia She sneered, "This rice is more than two years old."

"...This is absolutely impossible!" Jia Yucun hastily denied it, then turned to Tu Che and said, "I can use the head of the item to ensure that this rice was definitely put into the warehouse last autumn, and it is all new rice. The old rice has already been out of the warehouse. There is an account to check."

Tu Che was silent. For some reason, he looked at Jia She again, and Jia She's face was calm.

Tu Che asked, "Jia Qing, why do you say this is old rice that is more than two years old?"

"I drink." Jia She said.

“I also make wine”

"Wine needs rice."

Then Jia Amnesty stopped talking.

The corners of Jia Yucun's mouth twitched. Although his tone seemed gentle, there was a hint of sarcasm: "Duke Rongguo can know old rice and new rice when he brews wine?"

Tu Che believed in his heart that Jia She might have seen something. He became suspicious of Jia Yucun and looked at him coldly. If Jia She could produce evidence or sufficient reasons, he would not mind unplugging the Zhen family. a nail.

This Jia Yu Village was strongly recommended by the Zhen family, and Tu Che had already found out.

What fascinated him was that Jia She and Jia Yucun were at odds. Tu Che had known the origin of Jia Yucun for a long time.Tu Che thought to himself, the Rongguo Mansion is indeed worthy of his wooing. It seems that the family of four princes and eight princes may not be monolithic, at least this Rongguo Mansion must not be the same as the Zhen family.

Facing Jia Yucun's doubts, Jia She said indifferently: "Old rice is harder than new rice." He only needs to pinch it to know.

Jia Yucun didn't believe it: "This is all the one-sided words of Rong Guogong. This is obviously new rice, and everything can be checked." He was afraid that Tu Che would be suspicious, so he hurriedly explained that someone could get the account books.

Tu Che nodded and agreed to read the account.

However, when he was faced with a thick pile of account books for last year's autumn grain storage, he couldn't help but frowned. At this moment, how could he see anything from it.

He looked up at Jia She, but Jia She was staring at Jia Yucun.

Seeing this torch-like gaze, Jia Yucun felt guilty for some reason, and stammered: "Mr. Rong, why are you looking at me?"

"Look at you unrighteous person." Jia She held the scabbard in his hand, his tone was flat, but he said awe-inspiring words: "My sword only kills the unfaithful and unrighteous."
