Detective in the Red Chamber

"Bah ah ah~!"

Yuanyang's heart beat wildly after being teased, she hurriedly pushed Ping'er away, stomped her foot and said coquettishly, "People are worried about you, but you always say shameless things-forget it, I don't bother to talk to you anymore, old lady Still waiting for me to serve you!"

As he spoke, he hurried to the front yard.

She was still ashamed and annoyed, and was anxious to go back to serve Jia Mu, so she inevitably panicked and lost her way. Seeing that she had left the relatives' hospital and arrived near a moon gate, she bumped into someone unexpectedly.

Yuanyang staggered a few steps, and managed to stand still, when he heard the man on the other side yelling harshly, "That bastard with no eyes... Hey, is it you?"

The man recognized Yuanyang face to face after scolding halfway, and immediately changed his face, a pair of cloudy eyes only swept across her face and chest, especially when he saw that Yuanyang's cheeks were blushing, which showed something that he had never seen before. flirtatious.

He couldn't hold back that thoughtful horse any more, stretched out his skinny paw, and said with a lewd smile, "Look at you blushing, is it hurt somewhere? Come here, let the master rub it for you."

It really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here, and the person with lewd eyes in front of him is none other than the old and disrespectful Jia She!

Seeing his chicken claw-like slap tremblingly reaching towards her chest, Yuanyang felt unspeakably disgusted, hurriedly stepped back half a step, and said vigilantly, "Don't dare to bother you, sir. My wife is calling me, and this slave has to hurry over and serve her!"

Saying that, regardless of Jia Amnesty's reaction, he slid sideways into the Moon Gate and left without looking back.

Jia She's obscene eyes followed her slender waist and hips away until they couldn't reach them anymore, then spat and said cursingly, "This little rascal, it's because the master took Joe - whatever, Wait a few days and see how I arrange you!"

Chapter 317

Not to mention how mandarin ducks behave.

But Ping'er pretended to be okay, hurried in, and was about to rush to the west wing, but happened to meet Mrs. Wang coming out of the east wing.

She hurriedly stopped, and respectfully blessed "Second Wife."

Mrs. Wang looked at her sleepily for a while, and then smiled wearily, "It's Ping'er, it's hard for you to run back and forth these few days--if there is someone as sensible as you in Baoyu's house, I will do it." You can relax."

Mrs. Wang didn't pay much attention before, until she waited day and night for the past few days, she realized that more than half of the big maids in Baoyu's room were broken!

But Baoyu is only 14 years old now, how can she stand up to such waves?

Therefore, Mrs. Wang was very annoyed, and it was not easy for anything to happen at this juncture, so she could only bear it temporarily.

When I bumped into Ping'er at this time, thinking of her usual demeanor of adhering to her duty and never seeking favor or flattery, she couldn't help expressing her feelings.

But how does Mrs. Wang know that although Ping'er did not compete for favor and flattery in front of Jia Lian, she gave up her delicate body on Sun Shaozong's bed yesterday!

But even without this broken relationship, it's hard for Ping'er to respond to her words—otherwise, wouldn't it appear that he wanted to jump ship to Baoyu's house?

So Ping'er laughed and said, "Don't dare to be a wife and praise me. Xiren and Qingwen in Master Bao's house, in terms of appearance and temperament, aren't they ten times more promising than slaves?"

"Promising? I think it's too promising!"

Attacking people is fine, but Mrs. Wang was even more upset when she heard Ping'er mention Qingwen—that mere big maid, who is gesticulating in front of everyone, is more dignified than her serious master!

This has no status yet. If she really becomes Baoyu's concubine in the future, wouldn't she be another Aunt Zhao? !

But this is not easy to argue with Ping'er, so Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said, "Okay, go and serve your grandma, if there is anything you can't handle, don't forget to ask someone to let me know!"

When Ping'er obediently agreed, Mrs. Wang led a group of maids and women out, and went straight to the lobby of the front yard—after several days of experiments, it finally came to the day to see the real chapter!

The book does not go into details.

But half an hour later, there were seven or eight people sitting sparsely in Rongxi Hall, all of whom were direct relatives of the three generations of the Rongguo Mansion, with the only exception being Sun Shaozong, the 'official representative'.

In fact, Sun Shaozong didn't want to participate in this family meeting, but Jia Zheng repeatedly invited him, but he couldn't shirk it, so he had no choice but to come and accompany him in the last seat.

He was looking at his nose, nose, and heart, recalling the last two nights of the battle in the Zhuijin Tower, and he heard Jia Zheng say in a deep voice, "The methods that should be tried are almost done now. The Zilingzhou Bian'er spread the news that there is a [-]% certainty that it can be cured..."

"Seventy percent?!"

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but yelled, "Four people are dead, so there is only [-]% certainty?! No, I will definitely not let Baoyu and Feng'er take this risk!"

In the past few days, because Jia Zheng just locked Aunt Zhao in the small Buddhist hall in the backyard and did not punish her severely, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng had quite a few fights.

With a guilty conscience, Jia Zheng had no choice but to retreat steadily, but he was already feeling depressed.

Now that we are discussing the business, seeing that this 'mother-in-law' is still messing around, Jia Zheng is immediately annoyed, squinting his eyes and said, "Then what do you say, can't you continue to find someone to test the medicine?!"

"Humph!"

Mrs. Wang snorted. Although she didn't make a formal response, her expression was clearly acquiescing.

slap~

Jia Zheng slapped the tea table with a slap, and glared angrily, "It's ridiculous! Do you really think that the prison was opened by our family? Now that these people died in our house, the Ministry of Punishment and Shuntian Mansion are already hard to explain. , you still want to..."

"So what?!"

Mrs. Wang was also annoyed, and asked tit for tat, "Could it be that in order not to offend others, you have to risk your son's life? You are willing, but I am not!"

"you……"

"OK OK!"

Seeing the couple quarreling, Mother Jia threw the leading crutch on the ground and scolded, "You are already old, why are you arguing? If my good grandson hears it, wouldn't the soul be even more reluctant to return to its place?" ?”

Seeing what the old lady had said, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang listened attentively.

At this time, Jia's mother changed the subject again, and asked Jia She, "Boss, you also talked about it, what should happen to this matter."

Jia Amnesty was watching the excitement from the sidelines, when he suddenly asked his head, he suddenly became a little flustered, he hesitated a few times, and then said, "I have nothing to say, but Baoyu and Lian's daughter-in-law definitely have nothing to do, so we should think about it anyway." A safe bet.”

Thanks to such unnutritious words, Mrs. Xing actually nodded her head vigorously, as if she was singing like a husband and wife.

Looking at Jia Lian again, he looked like he was wandering in the sky, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Mother Jia sighed secretly, she had no choice but to cast her eyes on Sun Shaozong, and asked kindly, "Brother Sun always has ideas, but I don't know what your opinion is?"

Didn't you agree that you will only attend the audition?

Sun Shaozong slandered helplessly. In fact, according to his intention, [-]% certainty is not too low.

What's more, those witch doctors and monks will definitely lower the success rate in order to shirk responsibility in the future, so the actual success rate may be more than [-]%.

Just looking at Mrs. Wang's meaning, she would definitely not agree with this statement.

So he thought about it for a while, and then changed his way of saying, "Actually, I have been trying to figure out for the past two days whether Chen Bo was put to death, or was there no way to save the poisonous gas? After all, the first few people who were poisoned, It was also after going crazy for a while, that he died for no apparent reason.”

Although these words did not clearly express their attitude, the meaning behind them was easy to understand. Who can guarantee that the two of them will die of poison if they drag it on?

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and Jia Mu suddenly ate the dragon's head and crutches again. Gan Gang said decisively, "Let those people prepare, and we will start exorcising evil spirits and curing diseases at noon today!"

Jia Zheng immediately got up to answer, Mrs. Wang stopped talking for a while, but she didn't stop her after all.

At this point, Sun Shaozong felt that he should have nothing else to do, and was waiting for the show to end, but who would have thought that Jia Mu would laugh at him again and said, "Brother Sun, I'm afraid I have to trouble you for something."

"exactly!"

Jia Zheng also hurriedly cupped his hands, "According to several masters, when exorcising evil spirits and curing diseases, it is best to ask someone with evil spirits to protect and protect them. I am afraid that this person must be a good nephew."

This really works for everything...

Sun Shaozong was speechless, but suddenly remembered something - the way of detoxification seems to include the process of medicinal bath, right?

Does this mean that...

"Don't worry, nephew."

Probably 'seeing' Sun Shaozong's 'worries' in his heart, Jia Zheng hurriedly added, "You only need to take care of Baoyu alone. We have asked others to take care of Lian's daughter-in-law."

rely on ~

Sun Shaozong's heart was full of excitement, and he was immediately chilled, but he didn't dare to show it. Instead, he pretended to be relieved and said, "Since this is the case, my nephew is naturally not as respectful as..."

"master!"

Just at this time, Zhou Rui hurried to the door and said loudly, "Two hundred households came from Fusi of Beizhen, saying that there is an urgent matter, and they want to report to Lord Sun face to face!"

Chapter 318

The Hundred Households of the Dragon Guard can be arrogant and domineering in the local area, but in the capital—especially in front of the top nobles, it is still not enough.

Therefore, when Sun Shaozong rushed to the flower hall in front, he saw Jia Shanyao and another hundred households waiting there respectfully.

Seeing Sun Shaozong stepping in, the two quickly knelt down on one knee and clasped their fists together and said, "Jia Shanyao, Yang Licai, the lowly post, I have met Lord Qianhu!"

Sun Shaozong didn't disagree, and walked towards the main seat, and the two moved their knees and changed directions.

After sitting firmly on the main seat, Sun Shaozong stretched out his hand to give a little support, and said, "Everyone get up."

The two got up from the ground.

Sun Shaozong had already heard about Jia Shanyao's stay in the capital, so he naturally didn't need to ask any more, so he asked, "Just now I heard from the housekeeper of Jia's house that you have something urgent to report, but you don't know what it is?"

Seeing the two exchanged glances, Yang Licai hurried to the door to guard.

This……

It seems that there is really something confidential.

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but also became serious, only to hear Jia Shanyao lower his voice and say, "Master Qianhu, have you ever heard that the Shenji Camp will be replaced with new firearms recently?"

This matter was still a secret a few days ago, as for now... Although it is not known to everyone, as long as it is slightly related, everyone already knows about it.

Someone like Sun Shaozong who had certain channels even knew that the new firearm was originally designed by Prince Yizhong himself, but it was just tragically cheaper for Emperor Guangde.

Of course, there is no need to disclose these details to Jia Shanyao.

Sun Shaozong was the only one who nodded, and said, "I heard that they are going to Jinmen Mansion to be installed one after another—why, is there something wrong with that batch of firearms?"

If there was a problem with the Shenji Battalion itself, it would be Wucheng Bingmasi who was in a hurry, not Longjianwei.

Only when the muskets manufactured and preserved by the Gunpowder Bureau of the Armed Forces Supervision have problems other than safety and quality, it will be the turn of the Long Guard to investigate.

"Your Excellency is really clever!"

Jia Shanyao flattered him, and then said worriedly, "The Gunpowder Bureau somehow lost two new muskets for no reason, and I heard that the manager died!"

"This matter is of great importance. His Majesty has decreed that Beizhen Fusi will do his best to thoroughly investigate the case. At all costs, we must find those two muskets!"

Although he had expected it, Sun Shaozong still felt a little incredible when he heard that the Gunpowder Bureau had lost two muskets—it was an important military place, and the checks on entry and exit were extremely strict. City division control.

In addition...

Sun Shaozong frowned and said, "Our Beizhen Fusi has always been in charge of things outside the imperial city. This military weapon supervisor belongs directly to the inner court, so it should be under the control of the Nanzhen Fusi?"

Jia Shanyao hurriedly explained, "It was supposed to be the Nanzhen Fusi who came forward to investigate, but this time they made a mistake - Eunuch Dai argued in front of His Majesty, and specially recommended you, my lord, and took this job over. .”

"Now we, Fusi of Beizhen, are all looking forward to your majesty showing your majesty, so that we can completely suppress the arrogance of Fusi of Nanzhen!"

hehe~

The word 'highly valued' is sometimes a double-edged sword!

No matter how you think about this matter, I am afraid it is also a tricky "business". In terms of heart, Sun Shaozong absolutely does not want to get involved-but since Emperor Guangde has made a decree, he is a small thousand households. Is it still possible to disobey orders?

So he had no choice but to return to Rongxi Hall in a hurry, explain the situation to everyone in Jia's mansion, and ask for his resignation to leave.

Jia Zheng admired the three cardinal guides and five permanent principles the most, and when he heard that the "son-in-law" had made an order, he immediately urged Sun Shaozong to go to the emperor's post as soon as possible, so that Baoyu didn't need to bother him any more.

Although Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were a little unhappy, they also knew that the emperor's order was hard to violate, so they had to ask Jia Lian to come forward and send Sun Shaozong out of Rongguo Mansion.

The book does not go into details.

However, when Sun Shaozong left the Rongguo Mansion, he led Jia Shanyao and Yang Licai all the way to Fusi, Beizhen—even though the incident happened at the Gunpowder Bureau, he always had to scan to find out whether Emperor Guangde wanted to investigate openly or secretly. , to decide how to act, right?

Besides, in heavily guarded places like the Gunpowder Bureau, there is no seal officer, so it is not convenient to investigate.

It's just that when he arrived in Fusili, Beizhen, Sun Shaozong dismounted from his horse, strode up the steps and crossed the threshold. When he saw the scene on the square inside the gate, he couldn't help being surprised.

I saw rows and rows on the square, full of two or three hundred soldiers, all of them were wearing ink dragon swallow cloud robes, with Qiushui Yanling knife slung across their shoulders, looking murderous and majestic!

"Master Qianhu, please change your clothes!"

Before Sun Shaozong could react, a hundred households in Xixiali stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, holding a bright yellow bullfighting suit high above his head.

tsk~

This is obviously to do something!

When Sun Shaozong saw this battle, he didn't know that Dai Quan was taking the opportunity to provoke and demonstrate against Eunuch Xia who controls Nanzhen Fusi?

This girl has lost all the weapons of the country, and she still thinks about fighting for power and profit. The eunuchs really don't have many good birds!

But "people have to bow their heads under the low eaves", no matter how reluctant Sun Shaozong was, he didn't dare to show it in front of people. Instead, he stretched his arms cooperatively and ordered "change clothes."

Jia Shanyao and Yang Licai immediately stepped forward, put the bright yellow bullfighting uniform on Sun Shaozong's body, and then, from nowhere, got a precious sword inlaid with gold and jade, and carefully tied it around Sun Shaozong's waist.

After dressing Sun Shaozong neatly, the two stepped back a few more steps, then turned over and knelt down, clasping fists on one knee and saying, "Please refer to Master Qianhu under the bid!"
