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

Imperial City, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After seeing Jia Jue and Ji Zhong, Zhao Qi didn't speak, but threw a secret report to them.

Jia Jue took the secret report, opened it, and frowned.

On it was written information that Lin Ruhai was seriously wounded by an assassin, and his life was not long.

"Lin Ruhai is the censor of salt inspection. I asked him to sit in the south of the Yangtze River and supervise the salt industry for me. Two months ago, he sent a memorial, saying that someone in the salt road in the south of the Yangtze River was enriching his own pockets and taking bribes. I ordered him to investigate thoroughly. How dare someone do such a bold and reckless thing! It's really lawless!" Zhao Qi said angrily.

The salt industry has always been an important part of the imperial court's taxation, and it is related to the peace of the country, so there should be no trouble.

Therefore, Zhao Qi chose Lin Ruhai, who was upright and innocent, to be the censor to inspect the salt road in the south of the Yangtze River.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that Lin Ruhai was assassinated and seriously injured to the point of death.

"Your Majesty, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is an important place for the salt industry, so there must be no loss." Ji Zhong said quickly.

"That's right, so I found you here." Zhao Qi nodded and looked at Jia Jue, "Jia Jue, Lin Ruhai is your uncle, and something happened to him, you must be going to Jiangnan, right? "

Jia Jue nodded: "That should be the case."

In the original book, after Lin Ruhai died, Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu went to Jiangnan together. After all, many things require a man to come forward.

At this time Jia Lian is gone, only he is the most suitable.

Zhao Qi nodded: "I have already ordered Yingtian Mansion and the Salt Transport Envoy to investigate this case, but I am afraid that there is something very difficult behind this case. Therefore, when you went to Jiangnan, you secretly investigated this case, Zhongdang will cooperate with you and help you."

"My minister complies with the order," Jia Jue replied.

Zhao Qi thought for a while, then waved to Liu Tian.

Liu Tian's expression changed, and he hurriedly walked towards the hall.

After a while, he came to Zhao Qi's side holding a sword.

Zhao Qi took the sword and pulled it out.

There was only a clear clanging sound, and a cold light suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi drew his sword in his hand, and his aura suddenly became cold.

"The name of this sword is Xuanbing. It is unstoppable. I carried it with me when I was young. In the past 20 years, I have killed hundreds of enemies with it." Zhao Qi looked at the Xuanbing sword in his hand, and a flash of memory flashed in his eyes.

Back then, he was just a fringe prince who was not loved by his grandma and uncle. In his most difficult moments, this sword was his only reliance. With it, he beheaded many enemies.

He took a sword flower, then sighed slightly, and put the sword back into its sheath:

"The magic soldier is still the same, but I am already old."

Ji Zhong quickly said: "Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, how can he be old?"

Zhao Qi shook his head lightly, and threw the sword to Jia Jue:
"This trip to the south of the Yangtze River will definitely not go smoothly. This sword is given to you for self-defense. If anyone dares to do such an unjust act, I will allow you to kill him first and then play!"

Jia Jue took the sword, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

This Xuanbing Sword is equivalent to the legendary Shangfang Sword.

But this just showed the danger of this trip. With the assistance of Jin Yiwei, Zhao Qi gave him Shang Fang's sword, and his intention was self-evident.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He answered with his sword in hand.

Zhao Qi looked at him and waved his hands: "Go, go as soon as possible."

Jia Jue and Ji Zhong saluted together and exited the hall.

Looking at their backs, a trace of solemnity flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes, and he said to Liu Tian:

"Send the admiral of the navy..."

……

Linglong Xiaozhu, Lin Daiyu's house.

"Sister Lin, you don't have to worry. Master Lin is auspicious and will be fine."

"Sister Lin, stay safe and don't be impatient, and make a decision after my brother returns home."

"Sister Lin, your body is weak, how can you hold on to such a hasty journey?"

Seeing Lin Daiyu who was pale and struggling to pack her luggage, all the girls hurriedly persuaded her.

Lin Daiyu bowed to the girls and wept:

"I appreciate the kindness of all sisters and sisters-in-law. However, my father is in danger. I am really worried."

Lin Ruhai was about to die, so how could she not be anxious?

Therefore, even if she is dragging her sick body, she has to go back to Jiangnan.

"But you are alone, how can you go on the road?" Yuan Chun asked anxiously.

Lin Daiyu wiped away her tears: "It's okay, Zijuan will walk with me."

"No, Zijuan and you are both women, not to mention the danger on the way, but to go to the south of the Yangtze River. How can you take care of the inside and outside of this place?" Wang Xifeng said quickly, "If you want me to say, when there is a A capable male companion is the one to accompany you."

At this time, the transportation is inconvenient, and it takes several months to go back and forth from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River.

Moreover, if Lin Ruhai dies, someone will still need to take care of his funeral. It is indeed a lot of inconvenience for Lin Daiyu to be a daughter.

As soon as these words came out, all the girls looked at Jia Baoyu, he was the only man present, and he was still an idler in the house, it was most appropriate for him to accompany Lin Daiyu on a trip to the south of the Yangtze River.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help looking at him, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Under the gazes of the girls, Jia Baoyu hesitated.

Not to mention that it would take a long time to go back and forth to the south of the Yangtze River, and he had to deal with many strangers, which was the last thing he wanted to do.

Moreover, if he wants to go out, he must obtain Mrs. Wang's consent.

He didn't dare to agree rashly.

Seeing him like this, the expectation in Lin Daiyu's eyes dissipated instantly. She took a deep breath, stopped her tears, and said lightly:

"Don't bother Brother Bao anymore. Brother Bao still needs to study, so he should focus on his studies."

Seeing her appearance, Jia Baoyu scratched his ears and cheeks, his face was full of embarrassment, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and his face turned red.

He looked at Lin Daiyu, groaned for a long time, and then said:

"I'm not good at common affairs. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle such things. Why don't I let brother Jue go."

Lin Daiyu didn't look at him at all, but just replied lightly:

"Brother Jue is busy with government affairs, and he also has to accompany the imperial court, so he is at his wits end."

She naturally longed for Jia Jue to go to Jiangnan with her, but she also knew that Jia Jue was being used by Zhao Qi at this time and could not leave, especially since it would take a long time to go back and forth to Jiangnan, Jia Jue was even more impossible left.

However, the moment her words fell, a clear voice came from the door:
"Sister Lin, don't worry, I have already told His Majesty for leave, and I will accompany you on this trip to the south of the Yangtze River."

Hearing this voice, Lin Daiyu raised her head in surprise, and she saw a familiar figure standing at the door.

It was Jia Jue.

Looking at his handsome face and gentle eyes, the tears that had been stopped flowed more violently.

She looked at Jia Jue and murmured, "Brother Jue..."

Jia Baoyu on the side looked at Lin Daiyu, then at Jia Jue. He suddenly felt that Lin Daiyu was getting farther and farther away from him, and finally disappeared in front of him slowly.
