The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Late at night, the imperial city.

The imperial city, which should have been silent, was brightly lit at this time, and screams and howls sounded from time to time.

Because of Zhao Tai's death, Ji Zhong took Jin Yiwei and nearly turned the entire imperial city upside down. Except for a very few masters, almost everyone did not escape Jin Yiwei's search.

After such a great effort, they finally found out a suspicious person.

One of the chief eunuchs in the palace, Hou Dehai.

A large number of Jin Yiwei surrounded Hou Dehai's residence, Ji Zhong walked to the front of the room and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in." An old voice came from inside the door.

Ji Zhong pushed the door open and entered, but saw a thin old man sitting at the table drinking tea, he was Hou Dehai.

"My husband is interested." Ji Zhong sneered at him.

Hou Dehai picked up the tea and blew it: "This person must have some preferences, right? Others love money and power, so our family likes to drink tea."

As he spoke, he took a sip of tea lightly, showing a look of enjoyment.

Ji Zhong sneered: "Coincidentally, someone sent some Yuqian Longjing to Beizhen Fusi Yamen, and I hope my husband can go and evaluate it."

Hou Dehai smiled: "Thank you Mr. Ji for your kindness, but our family only loves Biluochun, but we are not used to drinking Longjing."

"It's quite a coincidence. Besides Yuqian Longjing, there is also Biluochun. Husband Hou thinks it's time to visit."

Ji Zhong waved his hands behind him, and immediately several Jin Yiwei rushed in.

Hou Dehai laughed loudly: "It's late, it's late, our family probably won't be able to go to Beizhen Fusi."

"Whether you want to go or not is up to you!" Ji Zhong snorted coldly.

But as soon as the words fell, he saw blood flowing from Hou Dehai's mouth and nose.

"This tea is poisonous!" Ji Zhong was furious.

Hou Dehai fell to the ground, his eyes gradually lost.

Ji Zhong was startled and angry, he immediately squatted down, grabbed Hou Dehai's collar and asked:
"Who ordered you?"

Hou Dehai said with a difficult smile: "Zhao Qi is not benevolent, everyone will punish him if he gets it, only hate, he is not the one who died."

"Bastard! Tell me! Who ordered you!" Ji Zhong roared angrily.

"Heh, heh..." Hou Dehai's eyes were blank, and his voice weakened, "However, he has already been reused, Zhao Qi, never would have thought that the prince..."

"What reuse? Who gets the reuse?" Ji Zhong asked hastily.

But Hou Dehai was silent.

Ji Zhong was furious: "Search all the places he has been to! Find out all the people who have had contact with him! I don't believe it, I can't find any clues!"

A group of Jin Yiwei suddenly responded and started a new round of operations.

Ji Zhong sat down, his eyes flickering with uncertain light.

When it comes to people who are reused, the first thing he thinks of is Jia Jue.

More importantly, Hou Dehai mentioned the prince, Zhao Qi did not establish a prince, so the so-called prince can only be the prince of the late emperor.

And it is rumored that the Jia family and historians used to be relatively close to the prince.

There shouldn't be any involvement in this, right?

He knew very well that the crown prince was Zhao Qi's taboo, no matter who it was, it would not end well if the crown prince was involved.

He sat there for a while, and suddenly a Jin Yiwei came to report:

"My lord, there is a secret compartment in Hou Dehai's bedroom."

Ji Zhong's spirit was shaken, and he rushed to it, but saw a dark compartment behind a painting, and a sandalwood box was placed in the compartment.

"Open it!"

Immediately, Jin Yiwei stepped forward to open the box, and there were several letters and a small porcelain bottle in it.

Ji Zhong quickly picked up a letter and read it for a few times, but his face changed drastically after seeing it.

"Keep searching! Don't miss anything suspicious!" He picked up the letter and put it in his arms, shouting to the guards in golden clothes.

"Yes!" All Jin Yiwei agreed in unison, and scattered away.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Ji Zhong also turned around and left Hou Dehai's house, disappearing into the night.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Shuntian government office.

Yin Gaoqing of Shuntian Mansion was eating breakfast, but before he had finished eating, a yamen servant came to report:

"My lord, Mr. Feng, magistrate of Wanping County, asks to see you."

Gao Qing frowned, and said lightly: "Let him wait."

The county magistrate of Wanping was originally Chu Yun. He was investigated and dealt with according to the law because of Jia Jue. This Feng Ping was his successor. Logically, he should come to visit his immediate boss first.

But the first time he came to see him, it was at this time. Presumably it was not a visit, but a business trip.

Then let him hang out for a while, it can be regarded as a blow to him.

The yamen servant left at the sound, but came back after a while:

"My lord, Mr. Feng said that there is an urgent need to see you, and you can't wait."

Gao Qing snorted coldly: "What urgent matter can he have?"

The yamen servant quickly said: "My lord, he said that this matter has something to do with Xibei."

Gao Qing was taken aback when he heard the words, Xibei, isn't it "Jia"?

This matter has something to do with the Jia family?
Doesn't that mean it has something to do with Jia Jue?

His expression changed immediately: "Please come quickly."

The yamen servant hurried out, and after a while, a middle-aged man in the county magistrate's uniform ran into the courtyard, it was Feng Ping.

Yes, instead of walking, run.

He trotted to Gao Qing's body, did not salute at all, but said out of breath:
"My lord, something is wrong!"

Gao Qing's expression froze: "What happened?"

Feng Ping moved closer to him and said a word.

"Ah!" Gao Qing's eyes widened suddenly upon hearing this, and he asked anxiously, "Where is the man!"

"I already brought here by car." Feng Ping said.

"Go and have a look!" Gao Qing hurried out with Feng Ping and came to an ox cart.

Gao Qing lifted the straw mat on the car, saw the person lying in it, and his expression changed drastically:
"It sure is him!"

"Master Gao, what should I do?" Feng Ping asked anxiously.

This incident happened within their jurisdiction, and they will definitely be implicated. If it is not handled well, they simply cannot afford it.

This is also the reason why Feng Ping came to Gao Qing angrily.

Gao Qing frowned and thought for a while, before making a decisive decision: "This matter is of great importance, and it is difficult for me to make a decision. Just follow me into the palace, and please Your Majesty make a decision."

"Ah? Do you need to meet the Holy One?" Feng Ping was taken aback. He didn't expect that Gao Qing would go directly to see Zhao Qi.

"Naturally, this matter is not only related to Jia's family. Behind it, it is thought-provoking." Gao Qing said meaningfully.

The eldest grandson of the Jia family will die if they inherit the title. No matter how they think about it, they can't decide.

Shocked, Feng Ping quickly said, "It's up to the adults to make the decision."

Gao Qing didn't say any more, and took Feng Ping straight to the imperial city.

But not long after they left, a beautiful woman looked at their backs and showed a proud smile.

In this way, everything is connected, and the ending of the Jia family is doomed.
