The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

King Baojun looked deeply at Jia Lian, and then called Jia Lian again.

Jia Lian shook his head lightly.

"Isn't it because the old prince lost the battle and someone poured dirty water on my mother's body, so he wanted to go south?" King Baojun asked again.

Jia Lian shook his head again, "My lord, think about it carefully, who said it came from."

King Baojun was stunned, thinking that the words came from the elder brother of the virtuous concubine, which might not be credible, so he laughed and said, "So that's the case." After finishing speaking, he patted his head and said, "Although my mother's queen is a queen, , but her weight in the harem is not as high as that of Concubine Xiande and Concubine Ji Hui. Xu, Li, Ning, Yuan, and Fang are not willing to spend their energy on her, let alone Master Jia?"

Jia Lian coughed while holding the handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the prince wants to stand up for the queen?"

King Baojun said with a smile: "How can a son watch his mother suffer? She can't have children because of me. I always have to find a way to stand up for her."

"Then there's no need. If it's self-defeating, others will take advantage of it." Jia Lian thought that Fang Wenhui was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Even if she became a queen, she would still be able to overshadow her by being Xue Baochai and a virtuous concubine; The king of Baojun was suspicious of him, and when he made the next move, he was trying to get the king of Baojun to make outstanding achievements in the south, and let him be a great official in the frontier in peace; it was Fang Wenhui who continued to keep the emperor's eldest grandson by his side. To make the emperor understand that not only his son can be made emperor, but his grandson can also be made emperor.

King Baojun heard Jia Lian's words with a lot of mystery, and thought that although Xue Pan's words may not be credible, but there is no reason for it, I am afraid that Jia Lian and Fang Wenhui also have some ties.

The king of Baojun was suspicious, and carefully checked Jia Lian's expression along the way, hoping to see the flaws, but halfway along the way, he was resting in a village, when he saw a shopkeeper from Xue Pan's house come and whisper to Xue Pan.

King Baojun was concerned about Fang Wenhui's situation in the palace, so seeing Xue Pan's face in a dilemma, he thought it was a matter in the palace, so he asked him in front of King Beijing, Yang Shilang, and Jia Lian: "What's so embarrassing?" ?”

Xue Pan's face was as high as a pig's liver, and he buried his head in silence for a long time before looking at Jia Lian.

"Speak." Jia Lian said.

Xue Pan gritted his teeth and said, "There are four or five places in Jiangxi that have reported drought. I'm afraid there will be famine everywhere this year. Originally, our family had food in storage. Who knows, last year we saw false reports from various places, so we used food to make wine. Now, our family has no more food."

Yang Shilang snorted and said, "It's okay, there is grain in the granary."

Xue Pan frowned, "...the food and grass calculated by the Lord earlier already included our family's food."

Shui Rong sighed and said: "So, the food and grass are not enough?" Sitting on the chair and holding his forehead repeatedly, he thought to himself, could it be that they are heading south aggressively, and they are going to "return to the court" before they reach the place?

Jia Lian's eyelids twitched again and again. Seeing the Xue family coming to be the shopkeeper, he knew that the old man of the Xue family must be unconvinced and asked a woman to suppress him, so he came here to deliver the letter, knowing that when the emperor counted the grain and grass, he might also count the Xue family's grain and grass. So he said to Xue Pan: "This is not a time for joking. Even if you have any dissatisfaction, you should not joke about this kind of thing. It's not far from the capital now. Go back to Beijing to persuade Miss Feng." .”

Xue Pan gritted his teeth and nodded, wondering what Wang Xifeng was going to do?Seeing the king of Beijing looking at him clearly, he felt guilty again, so he asked someone to prepare dry food for the horses immediately, and followed the shopkeeper quietly to the capital.

Previously Xue Pan intentionally avoided Wang Xifeng and never saw what she was doing, but this time he came back quietly and saw the King of Nan'an coming out from the back door of Xue's house at one o'clock. When he reached the door of the upper room, he raised his foot and kicked the door.

I saw the elder brother and the second elder brother inside were eating lotus seed soup, and they were frightened by the bang so that the lotus seeds got stuck in their throats, so Wang Xifeng and Ping'er didn't bother to ask Xue Pan why he came back suddenly, and hurriedly took pictures of the two children. Back, seeing the two children were so frightened that tears came to their eyes, both of them felt distressed.

"Ping'er, take the child out quickly." Wang Xifeng said, looked at Xue Pan coldly, and asked him, "The emperor told you to go out to fight, and you came back halfway. If someone sees you and impeaches you, what do you do?" manage?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xue Pan entered the room, raised his hand and overturned the dining table where his two sons were eating just now. What's the reason for going out the back door?"

Wang Xifeng sneered tit-for-tat and said, "I haven't been home all the year round. Could it be that after returning home, I suspect that I did that thing of stealing a man?"

"But he instigated you to hide the grain? Knowing that I went to fight in the south, knowing that the grain was hidden in the family, I was born to report the famine everywhere. Do you want me to die in the south on purpose? Don't forget, the business at home is very important. It's so big, but it's all a gift from the Lord!" Xue Pan couldn't help but grabbed Wang Xifeng by the collar in a panic.

Wang Xifeng glanced at Xue Pan's hand contemptuously, pointed at her pretty face, and said, "Hit, hit here!"

Xue Pan raised his hand, but he didn't have the guts to drop it, so he sat down on the chair angrily, raised his hand and slapped himself heavily, cursing: "Useless things, when I saw you send a letter, why did you send me a letter?" Promised to marry?"

What Wang Xifeng was afraid of was that Xue Pan would bring this up. Seeing that he really said it, he folded his arms and smiled coldly, "If you have the courage, write the divorce letter immediately. If you don't, then you can get out of the war with your tail between your legs. Now is When my aunt keeps her word, let you jump up and down to show your prestige?"

"Grandma, what exactly do you want?" Xue Pan asked with a sob, wondering why did he marry such a woman?

Wang Xifeng sat down on the chair, said with a smile: "Just wait and see, the surname Fang still wants to suppress our empress, she is dreaming!"

Although Xue Pan didn't know what Wang Xifeng was going to do, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly asked, "How many days can you deal with it neatly?"

"Half a month." Wang Xifeng smiled, after all, she hadn't sat with Xue Pan for a long time, so she stood up again and put her hands on his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Please stay at home for a few days of grievances."

Xue Pan was about to leave, and now he had nowhere to go, and it was pitiful to see that the elder brother and the second elder brother didn't even recognize Lao Tzu, so he agreed, and reluctantly stayed at Wang Xifeng's place at night. Wang Xifeng got up before dawn to deal with big and small matters--in the small things, there were crimes committed by the guys below, and there were also the price increases of firewood and rice; in the big things, it was the contacts of some princes.

It wasn't until the third day that Xue Pan learned of Wang Xifeng's plan from his eldest brother's Tongyan Wuji, so when there was no one around in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but get angry and said, "You are so brave! Relying on the south side at this moment If you want to fight, the Lord asks you, so you dare to threaten the Lord with the rice at home! Don’t forget, if there is no Lord, where did you hoard the rice from?”

"My eyelids are shallow, and I can't see farther than you. The man in the family doesn't want to make decisions, so he can only care about himself." Sitting by the bed, Wang Xifeng combed her hair with a comb. of.

"The Ninth Prince is only over one year old, what's the use of calling him king? Can he go out of the palace to build a mansion? Go to the court to discuss government affairs?" Xue Pan couldn't help gritted his teeth and asked.

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Since the son cannot be valued according to the mother, then the mother can only be valued according to the child. No matter how majestic the queen is, she is still a hen that does not lay eggs."

Xue Pan sighed and said, "Such a thing cannot be done."

"If I say I can do it, I will do it." Wang Xifeng snorted.

Although Xue Pan had fought in battles, he was not as majestic as Wang Xifeng. Although he was shouted at by her, although he was helpless, he could only suppress his anger and try to persuade her.

Bisheng Wang Xifeng refused to listen to persuasion, and still ran to various houses during the day.After staying for seven days, he returned home happily and said to Xue Pan, "Okay, you pack up and go to the south quickly. Don't worry, even if there is a great famine, it will not delay your fighting. "

"Is the imperial decree down?" Xue Pan was dumbfounded.

Wang Xifeng smiled triumphantly and said, "Is the title King Rongjun resounding?"

Seeing that Wang Xifeng had only said a word to him, Xue Pan was making a fuss about the nine princes becoming king, so he went back to his room to pack his luggage, and when it was dark, he rode his horse and went out. After arriving in the capital, he ran wildly all the way, and when he caught up with Jia Lian and others in Guangzhou, he was already so tired that he sat on the ground.

As soon as Xue Pan arrived, he was invited by Kuang Yanbing, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, into the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion. Xue Pan saw that in the meeting hall, King Baojun and King Beijing were sitting on the top, and sitting below were Kuang Yanbing, Feng Tang, Yang Shilang, Jia Lian and the others knelt on the ground on one knee with their fists clasped in shame and shame.

"Get up quickly, what does the capital say?" Shenwu General Feng Tang asked.

Jia Lian left his seat and helped Xue Pan up. Seeing that his legs were weak and unable to stand, he asked someone to move a chair behind him.

Xue Pan sat on the chair and said, "Don't worry, everyone, there is no need to worry about food and grass."

There is a saying that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. The people were worried because of the disaster reports from various places. Now they are relieved to hear Xue Pan say this.

King Baojun couldn't help asking: "How did you solve it?"

This question made Xue Pan's face turn red again, he groaned for a long time, and said: "The Ninth Prince has made the King of Rongjun."

Both King Beijing and King Baojun were startled.

Feng Tang sighed and said, "It's hard for you." He secretly thought that Xue Pan met such a family member, and it was considered an injustice in his previous life.

Xue Pan cried and shook his head, and when he was about to get up to apologize, he stood up and collapsed under the chair again.

"Hurry up and send him back to his room to rest." Kuang Yanbing said hastily.

Jia Lian hurriedly asked someone to help Xue Pan go out, followed Xue Pan into the guest room, sent Zhao Tianliang to wipe Xue Pan's face, and then sat by the bed to watch Xue Pan.

"Second Brother Lian..." Xue Pan gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Do you know why I'm staying away? After returning to the capital, you should stay away too." Jia Lian persuaded.

Xue Pan hurriedly said: "How can this kind of thing be far behind? Maybe it's because I'm not at home, and no one restrains me, that makes my eldest sister act so boldly—maybe I have made a contribution, and the Lord will not take this matter to heart. .”

Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's fine if you think so, but don't make things difficult for yourself, you are not Miss Feng's match."

Xue Pan smiled wryly, "If you're no longer an opponent, you've already married home, so why not?"

"Sleep in peace." Jia Lian said softly, pulled the quilt for Xue Pan, went out the door, and saw Shui Rong standing quietly under a rose bush with bowls of big flowers, and walked towards him. I pulled a honey-colored flower and held it in my hand and sniffed it gently.

Shui Rong glanced into Xue Pan's room and asked, "Has he fallen asleep?" Seeing Jia Lian nodding, he said, "Grandma Xue is so courageous, it's a good thing you didn't marry."

Seeing that Shui Rong also knew about this, Jia Lian laughed and said, "If she marries me, maybe she won't have anything to do with her."

Shui Rong sighed: "This is everyone's fate. Speaking of which, Grandma Xue's courage is really too big. I'm afraid there will be too many such things in the future."

"This is the benefit of being rich beyond rivals." Jia Lian said, and led Shui Rong to the outside. The two of them went out of the front hall and went to the room of Old General Feng in Xiyuan. They saw that General Feng was thinking hard about the map , I also went to look at the map.

"Why did you lose the battle?" Feng Tang asked bitterly.

Water soluble without words.

Jia Lian said, "Maybe it's an internal response?"

"Internal response?" Feng Tang frowned.

Jia Lian personally handed over the roster left by King Dong'an to Prince Zhongshun. How could he not know who the suspect was, but he just said it out of the blue and put himself in a place of injustice. No more words.

"Internal response?" Feng Tang frowned and said again.

Suddenly, I saw Kuang Yanbing, King Baojun, Yang Shilang, General Wu Yong of Guangdong Sea, and Zhou Qiong, Chief Commander of Zhenhai striding in.

As soon as Yang Shilang came in, he shouted: "Those thieves are deceiving people too much!" After that, he put a letter on the map, "I don't say that heroes cherish heroes, but how can the old prince be so humiliated at his age?" he?"

"Brother Lian, take a look." Feng Tang narrowed his eyes.

Jia Lian then took a look at the letter and said to Feng Tang: "The bandits want us to withdraw our troops and ask for peace, otherwise we will hang the old prince on the bow of the boat."

"That's unreasonable!" Feng Tang sneered.

Zhou Qiong said: "It's better to pretend to make peace, and when the old prince is brought back, I will kill them by surprise!"

Feng Tang shook his head and said, "No." He took a deep breath, and felt that this was not the time to fight, so he said to the crowd: "Let's bear with them for now, I think the barbarians from overseas will see that we don't ask for peace, and they will definitely attack you." You must not be tricked by them and fall into their tricks." After saying that, he put away the letter.

"Are you really disregarding the old prince's life?" Zhou Qiong hurriedly asked again.

Feng Tang frowned, and finally said: "The overall situation is the most important thing. I think the old prince understands the righteousness and will not blame you or me." Because Jia Lian mentioned the internal response, he secretly looked at everyone's expressions.

While talking on this side, someone from the other side came to report, saying: "The thieves tied the old prince to the bow of the boat to humiliate him. The Nan'an Prince's family will beg to go to sea and fight."

"Tell them to be patient for now," Feng Tang said.

Before anyone could pass on the message, another person said: "The general of Nan'an Palace has already taken the old prince's subordinates to sea."

"Not good!" Feng Tang yelled, and immediately took Wu Yong and Zhou Qiong outside.

King Baojun and King Beijing hurriedly followed. Jia Lian coughed slightly, but still stood looking at the map.

"Brother Lian, won't you go and have a look?" Yang Shilang walked up to Jia Lian and asked.

Jia Lian said with a smile, "my body is a burden if I go with it. Why doesn't Shilang Yang go with me?"

Yang Shilang smiled and said, "I'm a civil servant. It's okay to take care of food and grass, but I can't do other things."

"Then let's go and count the grain and grass." Jia Lian said with a smile.

Yang Shilang had to be patient first, and when he went out with Jia Lian, he walked into the yamen where grain and grass were hoarded, and couldn't help separating his subordinates and asking, "What did the lord tell you?"

"What do you have to say?" Jia Lian laughed.

Yang Shilang glanced at the grain and grass, "The sky is dry and the things are dry. If there is a fire, no matter how brave the generals and princes are, it will be in vain."

Jia Lian pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Yang Shilang: "Do you know that Zhou Qiong, the general governor of Zhenhai, has close contacts with Jiangxi Jiedu? Grandma Xue is pretentious, and Jiangxi reported the disaster before other places. Is there no story here? ? Now that Prince Zhongshun and Nan’an Palace are unwilling to fight, let our prince rest and let the other family think about it.”

Yang Shilang swept his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Lian is so thoughtful, Jiangxi Jiedu is the direct descendant of the Nan'an Palace, and Zhou Qiong is afraid that Zhou Qiong will offend the Nan'an Palace, so he also intends to ask for peace so that the old prince can be brought back. .”

"So, good mountains and good waters, we literati can do things that we can't fight, and let's live freely?" Jia Lian said with a smile.

Yang Shilang took a look at Jia Lian, hooked his arm, and said with a smile, "That's right, let's go and have fun. You have been here before. I wonder if there is anything interesting about this place?"

Jia Lian said with a smile, "you will know if you follow me." So regardless of the war, he took Yang Shilang to sort out the grain and grass, and the two went to the famous mountain valley in the local area.

When the two returned to the governor's mansion in the evening, seeing that no one else was waiting, they had a few drinks with each other and went to rest.

Jia Lian went back to the room and didn't feel sleepy for a moment. Seeing Xue Pan coming on crutches, she said to him, "Pan'er, I'll give you a chance to redeem your crimes."

"What chance?" Xue Pan asked hurriedly.

Jia Lian then whispered in his ear: "I'm afraid someone is going to burn the grain and grass. You should lead them to look at the ground and wait for the rabbit. Don't let people really burn the grain and grass."

Although Xue Pan was exhausted, he thought that Wang Xifeng had to make up for the leak, so he quickly agreed, picked up two big bowls of rice, and led his people to hide quietly in the granary.

Jia Lian still went back to the room and went to sleep, and fell into a drowsy sleep until noon the next day before waking up. When he woke up, he asked Zhao Tianliang, "Are the old generals back?"

Zhao Tianliang replied, "I haven't come back yet."

Jia Lian nodded, and saw Yang Shilang inviting him to play chess, so he got up and washed, put on a moon white arrow sleeve, and went to Yang Shilang.

The two played chess for a day, and tasted the famous local dishes, and they didn't disperse until one o'clock.

In the middle of the night, the sound of clappers sounded at the third watch, and suddenly someone shouted, "The two county kings and three generals are back!"

Jia Lian woke up in a jerk, hurriedly put on his clothes and combed his hair hastily, and went into the meeting hall. Outside the hall, he saw the family members of Nan'an Palace kneeling in a row with their heads down. Seeing that Feng Tang's white hair was loose, the pampered King of Beijing and King of Baojun were covered in blood, while Wu Yong and Zhou Qiong over there were very clean.

"You bastards, because of your impulsive actions, you have ruined hundreds of my Feng family's children!" Feng Tang scolded furiously.

"General, I don't regret waiting for death, but I can't let the old prince be humiliated!" The general of the Nan'an palace family insisted, "The old prince has fought in the battlefield all his life, and he ended up like this..." As he said that, he couldn't help but get red-eyed.

Feng Tang's eyes also turned red.

Jia Lian thought to himself that if he wanted to burn food and grass, he should do it when he came back from injury.Thinking this way, I heard someone shouting outside: "The water is leaking, the granary is flooding."

Hearing this, Feng Tang stood up suddenly, and immediately led his people to the granary next to the Governor's Mansion. He smelled fireworks from a distance, and his mouth was dry with anxiety.

King Beijing and King Baojun were about to visit the Yamen, but they were stopped again.

Yang Shilang was choked by the fireworks and coughed twice, so he secretly went to see Jia Lian.

Seeing the fire burning, Jia Lian wondered if Xue Pan didn't guard it?

"Catch him, don't tell him to run away!" Suddenly Xue Pan shouted from the courtyard.

When Feng Tang heard this, he hurriedly ordered people to surround the granary.

Jia Lian covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, because the yamen where the granary was located was his former office, so after thinking about it, he gave Zhao Tianliang a color.

Zhao Tianliang immediately guessed which way to go if someone escaped, so he hurriedly led people to block it.

Feng Tang and the others watched impatiently as people went in carrying buckets, when they suddenly saw Xue Pan escorting five people over.

"General, they are the ones who burned food and grass with fire. All five are here, and none of them escaped." Xue Pan wiped the soot on his face and said.

"How much food and grass have been burned?" Feng Tang asked hastily.

Xue Pan hurriedly said: "General, don't worry, I just burned some hay."

Feng Tang felt relieved, looked coldly at the five kneeling people, and said with a sneer, "What a boldness!"

"General, tell me to take them back and torture them severely." Zhou Qiong stepped forward and kicked one of them hard.

"No, King Baojun, you come to interrogate." Jia Lian said first.

Although King Baojun was surprised, he quickly agreed.

"General, I'm going to check the food and grass inside." Jia Lian said again, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and went into the yamen, only to see that the front yamen was blackened by the fire. Like the underworld.

Brothers Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong held torches in front, and Jia Lian walked inward carefully step by step.

Suddenly a gust of evil wind blows, and a strong wild ghost with disheveled hair rushes towards Jia Lian.

"Second Master, be careful!" Zhao Tianliang shouted.

Jia Lian was crushed to the ground, first he was dizzy from the smell of the wild ghost, and when he opened his eyes, he met a pair of round eyes like copper bells.

"Second master!" Zhao Tianliang was busy saving people.

The king of Beijing Jing outside was startled, and rushed in too.

"Who is it?" King Beijing Jing saw that it was a disheveled thing that could only be seen as a human being, and his back was so frightened that sweat broke out.

"Master Hong?" Jia Lian asked tentatively.

Seeing Master Hong who was pressing Jia Lian, he laughed.

Jia Lian pushed him away and sat up. Seeing Master Hong squatting in front of him and giggling, he asked, "Is no one taking you away?"

Master Hong Er still smirked endlessly.

"Who is this?" Wang Beijing asked in his heart, is this a person?

"It's Hong Helong's younger brother, Master Hong Er." Jia Lian said, guessing that when Hong Helong was around, everyone in the Hong family was angry with Hong Helong. Once Hong Helong was gone, no one would take care of him. It's Master Hong Er.

"This monster..." King Beijing muttered, and came to pull Jialian.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Master Hong rushed over again, separated King Beijing from Jia Lian, and said vaguely: "...burning grain and grass, killing Feng Tang..."

King Beijing Jing was taken aback.

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "Go and protect Old General Feng."

The king of Beijing Jing didn't think much about it, so he hurriedly went to General Feng. Seeing that General Feng had gone to the barracks to appease the wounded soldiers, he hurried to the barracks again. Old General Feng rescued him.After sending old General Feng back to the governor's mansion, he hurriedly went to the guest room to find Jia Lian, regardless of washing off the blood on his face.

Outside the guest room, I heard Master Hong's crazily laughing and laughing, and when I opened the door, I saw Jia Lian sitting on a chair drinking tea, Quan Fu and Quan Xi held down Master Hong, and called Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong to general Hong Er The bristle-like beard on his face was shaved off.

"Could this man be an accomplice of burning grain and grass?" King Beijing Jing looked suspiciously at Master Hong Er, who was as strong as an ox.

"He's not." Jia Lian said.

"If he wasn't, how would he know the phrase 'burning food and grass, killing Feng Tang'?" King Beijing Jing asked suspiciously.

Jia Lian said: "Master Hong Er is stupid and foolish. He has been hiding in the granary. He must have listened to what the thief said." hand it to him.

Master Hong Er held all the snacks in his hand, and stuffed the snacks into his mouth without removing the beard covering his mouth.

King Bei Jing couldn't bear it, and said, "How are you going to deal with him?"

"Stay by your side and take good care of him. Let's raise a godson." Jia Lian said with a smile. Seeing Master Hong smiling at him foolishly, the smile got wider, and he thought to himself whether Hong Helong could turn over or not, He has caught Hong and Long.
