"Ziyu, not only did you make great contributions this time, but you also helped me a lot. I'll treat you to a drink!" Ji Zhong said to him again.

Jia Jue also had doubts in his heart and wanted to ask Ji Zhong, so he agreed with hesitation.

The two came to the private room of a restaurant. Ji Zhong ordered a large table of dishes and toasted Jia Jue frequently.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Jia Jue saw that Ji Zhong was a little drunk, so he asked:

"Master Ji, although we captured Baiying, Zhao Cheng took advantage of the chaos and escaped. What should we do?"

Ji Zhong sighed, took a sip of mulled wine:

"That's why I said that you helped me a lot. If Baiying hadn't been captured, His Majesty would not have spared me just because of Zhao Cheng's escape. In the days to come, I'm afraid I'll have to chase after the remnants of the deposed prince's party."

"Master Ji, what is the origin of this Zhao Cheng? What did you say about the child earlier, what is it?" Jia Jue asked.

Ji Zhong's expression froze, and after confirming that there was no one around, he whispered the original story to Jia Jue.

After Jia Jue heard the words, there was a strange look on his face, he quickly had a drink with Ji Zhong, and took the opportunity to cover up his past.

After drinking a glass of wine, Ji Zhong seemed to have opened up the chatterbox. He approached Jia Jue and whispered:

"Ziyu, let me tell you one more bizarre thing."

"Please tell me." Jia Jue nodded.

"When that Hongyu died, I was only a member of a hundred households, and could only guard the periphery of the imperial city. But that night, I saw a woman who looked exactly like Hongyu, flashing from a corner. Passed away." A trace of confusion flashed in Ji Zhong's eyes, "I thought I had met a ghost, but when I thought about it later, I realized something was wrong, she had a shadow."

"Oh? Are you dazzled?" Jia Jue asked.

Ji Zhong shook his head: "That red jade is as beautiful as a fairy, and it will never be forgotten, so how can I be dazzled?"

Jia Jue's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and asked quickly, "Could it be that Hongyu is still alive?"

"Hush." ​​Ji Zhong said hastily, "Don't talk nonsense about this matter, Ziyu, you just don't know, she is dead or not, so what do you have to do with us? Drink, drink."

Jia Jue nodded, picked up the wine glass, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and things seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

While the two of them were tossing and changing cups, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and then a voice sounded:

"Master Ji, Lord Jia, Your Majesty is calling urgently."

Jia Jue and Ji Zhong looked at each other, and they both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

They just came out of the palace, but they were called back again, could something have happened?

……

Rongguo Mansion, Jialian Courtyard.

A group of female relatives looked sad in front of Jia Lian's mourning hall.

Both Jia's mother and Mrs. Xing couldn't make a sound.

For Jia's mother, Jia Lian is her eldest son and grandson. Although she is not perfect, she is always her grandson.

His death made her extremely heartbroken, especially when Jia She had just died not long ago.

As for Mrs. Xing, Jia Amnesty is dead, and Jia Lian is her only support. Although she is not Jia Lian's biological mother, she is always his mother in name.

But now that even Jia Lian is dead, she can be regarded as having lost her only support.

From then on, she will be helpless, so she is naturally extremely sad.

"What kind of evil is this!" Mother Jia cried.

Wang Xifeng supported Jia's mother and said: "Old lady, according to the yamen people, the villain who poisoned and killed the prince broke into the house where he placed the outer room, unfortunately he was killed."

Because these series of events are extremely secretive, the yamen has unified the caliber to the outside world, and Jia Lian's death is also attributed to encountering a villain.

"Didn't Brother Jue say that these days are not peaceful and you can't go out if you have nothing to do? Why didn't he listen!" Mother Jia cried loudly.

Because of many recent incidents, Jia Jue once ordered the Jia family not to go out, but Jia Lian was concerned about the outside room, and went out of the house while Jia Jue was competing with the Fusang people. Unexpected misfortune.

Everyone sighed a little when they heard the words, if Jia Lian was willing to obey Jia Jue's order, why would this be the case.

"It's just that, speaking of Brother Jue, he has been gone for a few days, why hasn't there been any news?" Lin Daiyu asked suddenly.

These words shocked everyone, and most of the girls panicked. Jia Jue is the pillar of the Jia family, and even their spiritual pillar. He can't do anything.

"Brother is auspicious, he will be fine." Yuan Chun said hastily.

All the girls nodded, comforting themselves in this way.

But at this moment, a woman ran in in a panic:

"Old lady, ladies and gentlemen, something is wrong!"

Hearing the "big thing is bad", all the girls turned pale. Could it be that something happened to Jia Jue?

Several girls who were close to Jia Jue almost fainted.

"What's the matter?" Mother Jia asked tremblingly, "Could it be that something happened to Brother Jue?"

The mother-in-law shook her head quickly: "No, the third master is fine."

All the girls breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words, but what the mother-in-law said next made them raise their hearts again:

"Uncle Lin had an accident. People from Jiangnan came and said that it was Uncle Lin. He is about to die."

Uncle Lin is Lin Daiyu's father, Lin Ruhai.

All the girls were shocked when they heard this, and looked at Lin Daiyu together.

Lin Daiyu's pretty face was pale, but the corners of her mouth were bright red, and then she closed her eyes, and she fainted.

Suddenly, all the girls were in chaos.

Chapter 286

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:
