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

The next day.

Beijing, Qingfeng Restaurant.

"Brother Wang, Brother Li, have you heard about it? Something happened to Mr. Rong Guo!" One person sat down on the table and asked his companion excitedly.

The two shook their heads in unison: "What could happen to him? Didn't he just attract Xiangrui and Phoenix at the ceremony of praying for blessings?"

The man approached the two of them and said mysteriously:

"You don't know about this. Someone went to Jia's mansion to make trouble yesterday!"

That brother Wang was full of surprise: "Who is so reckless? Don't you know that the family members of the Jia family are in prosperity?"

"Hahaha, Brother Wang, you don't know that the person who went to the Jia's house to make trouble is the Jia family." The man laughed.

Both Wang and Li were surprised, they couldn't understand the man's words.

The man looked at the two of them and laughed again.

"Say it quickly, don't be a fool!" The two hurriedly urged.

The man didn't speak, just looked in front of him.

The two met each other, one brought him a glass, and the other filled him with wine.

The man picked up the wine glass, took a sip happily, and then said:

"I wonder if you have ever heard of Jia Jing's name?"

The two nodded in unison:

"Why don't you know? He is a serious Jinshi, but he doesn't want a title, and he doesn't want to be an official, so he went to become a Taoist priest. Why do you mention him so politely?"

The man smiled: "The person who came to make trouble is precisely this Jia Jing."

"Ah? What is he going to do? Isn't he from the Jia family?" Both of them were surprised.

"He was only focused on cultivating alchemy at first, but for some reason, he came back suddenly and wanted to drive Duke Rong Jia Jue out of the mansion," said the man.

Both of them were full of surprise:
"Ah? I'm afraid this person has lost his mind? How can he be so stupid? Jia Jue probably won't respond to him, right?"

"That must be unacceptable. If he really moves away, he, Jia Jue, will be reduced to a laughing stock in an instant."

"It's only natural, and Jia Jue shouldn't. But it's because he shouldn't, that this happened." The man nodded.

"Brother, tell me quickly, what happened?"

The man showed an excited look on his face: "Jia Jue shouldn't, but Jia Jing is angry. He said that he will summon the clan elders today, and the family law has dealt with Jia Jue."

"Please family law to deal with Jia Jue? Why should he? Jia Jue didn't make any mistakes." Both of them were surprised.

"Hey, I didn't make a mistake? I'm afraid you don't know, but Jia Jing said that Jia Jue killed Jia Zhen, Jia She, and Jia Lian, and took their wives."

what?
how can that be!

Both Wang and Li exclaimed in unison.

In fact, not only them, but everyone around them also exclaimed together.

It's not just them talking about it, other people are talking about it too.

"Jia Jue is a member of the heavenly family, and his character must be excellent. How could he do such things as killing his elder brother and taking over his sister-in-law!"

"That's right, it must be that Jia Jing deliberately slandered! I don't believe that Mr. Yu is that kind of person!"

"It makes sense. Jia Jing didn't come early or late, but he came at the time when Jia Jue had just appointed Duke Rong. There must be fraud in it."

……

Many people shook their heads to express their disbelief. Jia Jue has won the respect of many people during this period of time. This is definitely not something that can be swayed by a few words, even if the person who speaks is from the Jia family.

At this moment, another person broke into the door. He came to a table and said quickly:
"Something happened."

Everyone hurriedly asked why.

"Jia Jing was hunted down, stabbed dozens of times in his body, and unconscious. Fortunately, he was bumped into by a yamen servant, otherwise his life might be lost. Hey, I don't know who did it so hard."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the field, and everyone was stunned.

They looked at each other, and a name popped up in their minds at the same time.

……

Imperial City.

Zhao Qi returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation from the Chonghua Palace with a gloomy expression. For the past two days, he had been standing and attending to Zhao An's funeral, so he was naturally not in a happy mood.

Although the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings gave him an unexpected surprise, Zhao An's death still dealt him a great blow.

Right now, his throne is fairly firm, but if the problem of heirs is not properly resolved, he is always in crisis.

It seems that we need to speed up the matchmaking between Jia Jue and Concubine Shu.

Just when he was thinking about the specific method, a guard outside the door suddenly reported:
"Your Majesty, Huang Tao, Minister of Criminal Affairs, has something to ask to see His Majesty."

"Biography." Zhao Qi frowned slightly, thinking about why Huang Tao came to him.

Not long after, Huang Tao came to the hall, and after seeing the ceremony, he explained the purpose of his visit:

"Your Majesty, a major case happened in the capital today. The county government and Shuntian Mansion did not dare to specialize in it, so they reported it to the humble official. However, this matter is so important that the humble official dare not make the decision, so please Your Majesty to make a decision."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows. He suddenly had a premonition that something big happened just after he finished offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for blessings. It might not be easy.

Huang Tao didn't dare to hide anything, and immediately explained the ins and outs of Jia Jing's affairs clearly.

what? !

Zhao Qi was surprised and angry: "Then Jia Jing is dead?"

"He didn't die, but was seriously injured and unconscious. When the gangster committed the crime, he happened to be bumped into by a patrolling officer, so he was saved." Huang Tao said quickly, and then carefully waited for Zhao Qi's reply.

This matter involved Jia Jue, so he had no choice but to report it to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi stood up and paced back and forth on the spot. He thought for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, thinking of the meaning behind this incident.

Jia Jing's appearance seemed to be specially for Jia Jue.Obviously, what he said was also pouring dirty water on Jia Jue.

But he has no proof at all.

Hence, this was his attack.

In this way, Jia Jue can continue to be smeared and his reputation can be tarnished without evidence.

Thinking about it at a deeper level, Jia Jue's reputation has been ruined, isn't he the one who suffered?

All the visions and auspiciousness of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings will be denied by the world.

In the end, all the spearheads will be pointed at him.

As it turned out, it was really easy to calculate!

A stern light flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes, he probably already guessed who was plotting against him behind his back.

However, he knew that he couldn't kill them all directly, and the situation in front of him was quite tricky. If it was not resolved properly, there might be worse consequences.

"You can handle this matter impartially, remember, protect Jia Jing thoroughly." Zhao Qi said to Huang Tao.

"My minister obeys the order." Huang Tao hesitated for a moment, "It's just that Mr. Jia..."

"It's okay, he understands the righteousness, and he will cooperate. If you have something, you might as well go to him to discuss it." Zhao Qi said lightly, with a flash of expectation in his eyes:
The person who needs to tie the bell to untie it, Jia Jue, I can't help you with a single piece of paper, everything is up to you.

Don't let me down!
At this moment, a guard's voice suddenly sounded outside the door:

"Your Majesty, the emperor's servant, Mr. Jia, is asking to see you."
