The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

"Girl Feng, hasn't Lian'er heard anything about Zongzheng Temple?" Mother Jia asked with a serious expression.

Sister Feng lowered her head with her hands down, and replied softly: "As for the old lady, the second master came back yesterday and said that Zongzheng Temple was severely punished by the crown prince, and everyone from top to bottom was replaced by the crown prince's guards. Our family's original relationship is useless. Originally, there was Feng Ziying who could talk, but now it’s gone. He came to our house twice and arrested people, and his face has been torn apart. The second master saw the relationship between the sky and looked for a way out, but when everyone heard about it The cases handled by the Crown Prince are one by one hiding faster than the other, for fear of getting involved."

Jia Mu sighed deeply and said, "It's unfortunate for our family!"

Sister Feng dared not speak, so she could only stand aside.Jia Mu paused, and then said: "Now that the empress has a body, she is no better than before. Can't you find out?"

Sister Feng hesitated for a while, and then slowly said: "Old lady, it is a great joy for your mother to have a baby, but..." Mother Jia swept her eyes and asked in a deep voice: "But what?"

Sister Feng winked and ordered Yuanyang to back down, then knelt down in front of Jia Mu and said in a low voice: "Old lady, it is a great joy for your empress to have a body, but have you ever thought about it? The empress empress has two biological children." Prince, no one can shake the position of the prince. Although the little prince was just born, he still doesn't know much about it, but the queen mother still keeps the sixth prince by her side. Under such a situation, the ministers of the court and the central government will not support our Jia family." Jia Mu's face was gloomy, and she snorted coldly, and Sister Feng hurriedly stopped talking and just knelt on the ground.Mother Jia waited for a while, and seeing that Sister Feng stopped talking, she said in a deep voice, "Why don't you talk?"

Sister Feng gritted her teeth, thinking that it would be better to speak out completely, and it would be considered that she had done her best, otherwise the whole family would be folded in, and there would be no way out.So he straightened up and continued: "Old lady, in theory, Feng is just a grandson's daughter-in-law, and the second wife is both an uncle and an aunt. A grandson's daughter-in-law shouldn't say anything, but in detail, the aunt caused this disaster by herself." Yes, Sister Lin has been here for the past few years, and my aunt treats her as a distinguished guest, but secretly...it is also Sister Lin who has the courage and doesn't care about these things, but the aunt is too much, desperate to turn against Sister Lin According to the grandson and daughter-in-law, it is better to let the aunt plead guilty, and she can be given a lenient sentence if she takes the initiative to plead guilty. I beg the emperor, are you afraid that you won't be able to restore your aunt's order?"

Mother Jia nodded slightly. Since Mrs. Wang's accident, she only wanted to get Mrs. Wang out, or she wanted to kill people to silence her, but she never thought of asking Mrs. Wang to plead guilty. Open up a new way of thinking for Jiamu.

Seeing that Jiamu's face was much more relaxed, Sister Feng continued boldly: "There is also the matter of the second master. Although Brother Huan sued the second master, one thing is that he sued his father with his son, and he must first be accepted by the [-]th Army." On the other hand, Aunt Zhao is just a concubine, as long as we work hard, the second master may just lose his official position and nothing else will happen."

Jia's mother was convinced that the masked man she had sent had killed Jia Huan and stole the pleadings, so she said flatly, "It doesn't matter what the second master's business is, and you should get your second wife's business done first. Feng girl, What you said is very reasonable. It is worthwhile for me to love you. Now as long as I can visit the second wife, I can persuade her to confess. The third girl went there once, and she only sent some things in, and she didn't even see anyone. , how good do you think this is?"

Sister Feng lowered her head. Jia Lian couldn't get through the joints of Zongzheng Temple, and she had no choice.Seeing Sister Feng's expression, Mother Jia knew that there was nothing Sister Feng could do, so she said in a low voice, Girl Feng, I heard that your uncle was transferred back to Beijing, so he should be here in a few days, right? Sister Feng hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the old lady, my uncle wrote a letter last month, saying that he has decided to go to Beijing on the [-]th."After all, it is tomorrow. "

Jia Mu nodded and said: "Very well, your uncle is inspected in all nine provinces, and he can speak in front of the emperor. Tomorrow, you take Baoyu to the palace to meet him, and tell him about your second wife in detail, and let him He begged for the second wife."

Sister Feng had to bite the bullet and agree. Her father was gone, and she was just a married girl. She had no confidence in what she wanted.

The emperor's prince, Shui Rong, and Xiao Luzi walked casually on the streets of the capital. They saw that the market was bustling, and the pedestrians on both sides looked peaceful. Although their clothes were not gorgeous, they were neat and clean, and they were wearing patched clothes. There are not many people.The emperor was very happy when he saw this. His hard work these years was finally not in vain. Just when the emperor was secretly complacent, a rush of horseshoes sounded from a distance. Hearing this sound, the emperor frowned and said: "This is a busy city, how can you ride a horse so fast?"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he heard someone yelling "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the nine provinces will check Mr. Wang to return to the capital, and the idlers will avoid..." I saw four servants in blue-gray clothes beating horses like flying, ignoring the market There were a lot of people on the street, and they were running as if they were in no man's land. People on the street were so frightened that they hid in the shops on both sides, fearing that they would be beaten if they took a step too late.

For a while, the bustle of the market ceased, and the common people hid and scolded: "Didn't this Mr. Wang leave the capital? Why did he come back again? Once he comes back, he will harm the common people again..." "Hush, big brother, please keep your voice down." , if the Wang family listens, you will suffer.” “Third son, dare to go back and tell the family, but don’t dare to let your three girls go out again. The Wang family bullies men and women, and your three girls are blooming Don't be robbed again..." Such words filled the emperor's ears.

The emperor's face was dark, and the good mood just now disappeared. Just when he was about to get angry, the servants of the palace had already galloped over, and there was a frightened little baby in the middle of the road, who was crying loudly. Knowing how to dodge, the horse of Wangfu's servant was extremely fast and could not be reined in. The tall horse kicked up its front hooves and stepped towards the weeping little baby.

Shui Chi was furious, and dashed to the middle of the street like lightning, picked up the petrified little baby in one hand, protected him in his arms, and slapped the horse's head with a clenched fist, only to hear the horse screaming and thumping. He fell to the ground, twitched his hooves a few times, kicked his legs and died.The servant on the horse was crushed half by the dead horse, screaming and wailing, the three servants behind rushed to jump off the horse, two of them went to rescue the servant who was under the horse, one rushed to Shui Chi, swung Picking up the whip, he whipped his head and face towards the water.Shui Chi shouted: "Brother Rong catch it!" and threw the baby in his arms back.Shui Rong jumped up and hugged the little baby, at this time a young woman ran over crying, jumped to Shui Rong's side and hugged the little baby, and shouted: "Baby..." The woman fell to the ground with the baby in her arms, Kowtowing in the direction of Shui Chi, he said: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." Shui Rong smiled and helped the mother and child up, and said lightly, "Go home."

Shui Chi sent the little baby to a safe place, raised his arm to grab the whip, and kicked the servant who wanted to commit murder in the waist and eyes, kicked the servant flying, and fell heavily to the ground.The other two servants of the palace saw it, and rushed forward and shouted: "Bold boy, how dare you murder the servants of the nine provinces in the street, boy, don't run away if you have the guts, come with us to see the officials."

Shui Chi was even more angry, and slapped a few big earcups in front of him, and beat the two servants until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. The common people hiding in the shops on both sides saw it, and immediately burst into applause.

The servants of the royal family followed the nine provinces to inspect Wang Ziteng, who was Sister Feng's uncle who had been released for a few years, and was used to being domineering. "If you have the guts, report your name!"

Shui Chi snorted coldly, and shouted: "Because you dogs are not worthy of knowing the name of the master, tell Wang Ziteng to be honest, otherwise the master will take his dog's life." After Shui Chi finished speaking, he strode back to the street. Beside him, Xiao Luzi hurriedly whispered: "Master, you two, let's go."

The emperor nodded, and everyone turned around and left. Seeing that the master of the beating was about to leave, the family member of the palace jumped up and shouted: "Boy, don't leave if you have the ability, and go to see the official with the master. I don't think I will discount your... Ouch." Without saying a word, the servant flew over with a stone the size of an egg, and hit the servant's face, making his eyes bleed, his nose bleeding, and his teeth falling off, as if a paint shop had been opened on his entire face .The people hiding in the shops on both sides couldn't help laughing when they saw the distressed look of the servants of the Wangfu.The family member of the Wang's mansion shouted angrily: "Why are you laughing, get out..." Then he went to complain to the master with the help of each other.

"Master, it won't be long before you come out, let's go back." Xiao Luzi asked timidly.There are not many officials in the capital who are not arrogant. If there are a few more of them, the emperor will not be angry.

"No, I'm going to pay a good visit today. Chengri's family only watched them respectfully in the court hall, so we should come down to see the real face of these people." The emperor said coldly.

Shui Chi nodded and said, "Father is absolutely right."

Shui Rong walked around more outside, and knew more about these powerful families, he said indifferently: "Uncle, cousin, if you want to inquire about the world, you'd better go to teahouses and restaurants, there is nothing you can't hear."

The emperor nodded and said: "I'm a little thirsty now, Rong'er, you often walk around outside, so lead us to the teahouse." Shui Rong thought for a while and said: "Then go to Fenglin Pavilion, which is the most popular place for dignitaries in the capital. There is a lot of news about the places I like to go, as long as I ask for a private room upstairs, I can hear everything when I open the window."

The emperor nodded and said: "Okay, let's go to the Fenglin Pavilion."

A group of people came to the Fenglin Pavilion soon, and Shui Rong led everyone to the back building, and after calling to open the door, a neat middle-aged man greeted him with a smile: "Your Majesty hasn't come for a long time."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "Uncle Lin isn't here?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My master didn't come today."

Shui Rong nodded and said: "Oh, it's the same when you are here, prepare for Spring and Jingming for us." The middle-aged man nodded with a smile, and led everyone from the back stairs to the third floor, where there are only two rooms facing north and south. In the room, on the door facing south, there are four large characters of Chun and Jingming written on it. Seeing these four characters, the emperor was moved in his heart, and secretly said: "The characters seem to be written by Ru Hai."

After entering Chunhe Jingming, Shui Rong said with a smile: "Uncle, the Dahongpao here is not bad, let's have a taste." superior.

As soon as the middle-aged man left, Shui Chi pulled Shui Rong over and asked anxiously, "Is this made by Uncle Lin?"

Shui Rong nodded and said, "Yes."

Shui Chi said: "Shui Rong, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Shui Rong blinked and said with a smirk, "You never asked."

Shui Chi was so angry that he raised his fist and made a gesture to hit, Shui Rong hid behind the emperor, only showing half of his face, and said with a smile: "Cousin, Uncle Lin has no fame, so he has to go into business to support his family. It is very difficult to open a restaurant and teahouse." It's normal, I only found out when I came to have tea by chance and met Uncle Lin."

The emperor pulled Shui Rong out from behind and scolded with a smile: "You little monkey, don't be so clever here, let me ask you, how many years has this Fenglin Pavilion been open in the capital?"

Shui Rong blinked his eyes and calculated before saying: "It's been about three or four years. I heard from Uncle Lin that when the younger junior sister came to Beijing, the master asked Lin Uncle to open a shop in the capital for the convenience of taking care of the younger junior sister. He didn't think about how to make it bigger. Who knew it would become the biggest and best tea house in the capital by doing it."

The emperor nodded and sighed: "Ru Hai is a world-shattering genius, he can do very well no matter what he does, such as studying and doing business. You two just studied with Ru Hai for too short a time, so you didn't learn from him. A good job."

Shui Chi Shui Rong bowed his head and said yes, but he secretly slandered in his heart. He didn't know who sent Lin Hai to the south of the Yangtze River to lead the salt affairs, which made the two of them lose their good master halfway.

The emperor knew what the two boys were thinking when he saw the eyes of the two boys, and immediately said with a straight face that he was stupid and didn't learn anything, don't complain about anything else, you two have studied with Ruhai for three or four years, what kind of you are you? Know yourself. "

Shui Chi Shui Rong lowered his head in shame. When the two of them were studying with Lin Hai, it was the most mischievous time. The two Piboys climbed trees, dug out birds, went down to the lake to catch fish, and from time to time they jumped up on the roof to use their half-baked martial arts. Flying over eaves and walking over walls... almost never turned the Lin family upside down.If it weren't for Jia Min's protection, the two of them would not have gone unpunished for a day.The time to really study with Lin Hai is really very little.When they were enlightened and learned to study hard, Lin Hai had already received the Jiangnan Salt Administration and had no time to teach them anymore.Just as the water was brewing and reflecting, there was a knock on the door, "Master, the younger one is delivering tea."

Shui Rong hurried in. Then he waited for the emperor to sit down first. The tea doctor with delicate features was skillful and smooth, and a set of tea art performance was like flowing water. After making the tea, he smiled and said: "Guests, please use tea." "After finishing speaking, he backed out.

Xiao Luzi hurriedly tested the poison first, and after he tried it, he said: "My lord, please drink some tea." The emperor picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully. The emperor smiled and said, "It really is good tea!"

Shui Rong was obviously used to this tea, so he took a sip of tea with a smile, picked up a piece of snack and said with a smile: "Cousin, this is not an ordinary plum blossom cake, do you want to try a piece?"

Shui Chi frowned and said, "Don't mess with me, you know I don't like sweets the least." looking for trouble.

The emperor knocked on the back of Shui Rong's hand, and scolded with a smile: "Have you ever had itchy skin again, the two brothers must fight to be happy?"

Shui Rong hurriedly begged for mercy: "Nephew doesn't dare." He got up and went to the wall to open the window, and said with a smile: "We sit here drinking tea and eating snacks, any news will fly into our ears by itself. "

People who go to Fenglin Pavilion to drink tea are either rich or expensive, and their nerves are the most sensitive. Therefore, if there is something new in the capital, Fenglin Pavilion will always be the first place to spread the word.

"Hey, I heard no, just now the nine provinces inspected Mr. Wang's family and beat them up!" A male voice came from downstairs, the emperor was stunned, looked at Shui Chi and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you are well-informed here. After beating someone, it spread around here in less than half an hour."

"Brother Qiu, do you know who is so courageous that even the servants inspected in all nine provinces dare to fight, but he has a heavy army in his hands." Another softer voice asked.

"Who did it? I haven't seen it, but I heard that the man was wearing a fine Shu brocade leather robe, a gold crown inlaid with beads, and a jade belt. I heard that the beads were the size of a thumb, and the jade belt was full of water." The top-quality sheep fat jade, for this clothes, for someone who dares to beat the nine provinces to inspect the family, this person is not young, there are five young masters in the eighth palace in the capital who are about the same age as that person, There are also young masters from various Duke's mansions, there are many people of his age, but there are only a few young masters who are good at martial arts. He beat the invincible hand all over the capital, I heard that he accompanied the crown prince on official business at Zongzheng Temple these days, I guess it wasn't him; the crown prince of Nan'an palace is also good at martial arts, but I heard that he accompanied the princess Nan'an to go out these few days, Probably not, the son of the Dongping Palace loves literature and dislikes martial arts, let alone the son of the Prince of Xining...he doesn't look like that either." The man with the surname Qiu talked about the children of the capital like a few treasures.

"Brother Qiu, this is not that, who is it? Do you know? If you don't know, don't make fools of yourself." The people next to him listened intently to the man surnamed Qiu, but he didn't get to the point , can not help but hastily cried out.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. Prince Zhongshun, that's him. Prince Zhongshun is good at kung fu, the most loyal in the world, easy to fight against injustice, and he is about the same age. In his capacity, he even beat the capital of nine provinces." The people who inspected, they can only knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, and endure it." The man surnamed Qiu took a sip of tea and said firmly.Hearing that, the emperor upstairs couldn't help but looked at Shui Chi and said with a smile: "That kid Zhou Sheng looks much worse than you, what kind of eyes are these!" Shui Rong hurriedly responded, "That's right, Zhou Sheng I’m not worthy of carrying shoes for my cousin.” Shui Chi rolled his eyes at the pair of unscrupulous nephews who made fun of him, and said in a low voice, “Listen to what else you can say.”

"It's him? How can he beat someone in vain?" asked the bystanders puzzled.

"If you ask me about this, you are asking. If you ask others, they may not know. Prince Teng Xian, who was inspected by the Nine Provinces, was a general under Prince Zhongshun. He was single-handedly promoted by Prince Zhongshun. I heard that he This time back to Beijing, it was strongly recommended by Prince Zhongshun, with this relationship, don’t say that Prince Guishun beat up a few servants, even if he beat Lord Wang’s son, Lord Wang still has to come to accompany him.”

"Ah, that's really the case? Why have I never heard that Mr. Wang has ever worked under Lord Zhongshun?"

"This is what you don't know. The prince has two sons. The second son is Prince Teng, who was inspected by the nine provinces. He was extremely unruly when he was young. He was kicked out by the prince. It was Prince Zhongshun who took him in. He followed Prince Zhongshun. He has been in the army for several years, and he has been trained like a man. The prince of Zhongshun gave him a message in front of the prince, and the prince let him return to the royal family. Later, he was also sealed and inspected all the nine provinces. You said that this prince Teng can Aren't you grateful to King Zhongshun?"

"Oh, so that's how it is..." There were exclamations from downstairs, and everyone almost believed that the person who beat up the servants of the palace was Zhou Sheng, the son of the loyal and obedient prince.

The man surnamed Qiu was very proud, took a sip of tea and said: "Actually, this is nothing, do you know what is the most important thing now?"

All the tea guests hurriedly rushed forward, all staring and asking: "Lord Qiu, what's the matter?"

The man surnamed Qiu enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded, and said with a mysterious smile that Concubine Jia Gui in the palace is happy, do you know? Everyone said "Hi" and said, "What is this, I heard about it yesterday." "As everyone was about to leave, the man surnamed Qiu hurriedly shouted: "Don't go, I haven't finished talking yet.Concubine Jia's mother and parents were all taken to Zongzheng Temple by the prince, everyone knows, right? "

"I know." Everyone replied indifferently, and the man surnamed Qiu slapped the table and said, "Yes, Concubine Jia is happy, it is a great joy, but the emperor didn't release the concubine's parents, could it Isn't it a big deal?"

"Oh, it really hasn't been released?" The crowd turned around and gathered around again, asking again.

"It can be said that according to the previous rules, concubines who are happy usually have to be granted the title of Jin, and family members will be pardoned if they commit crimes, but this time the rules are greatly broken. Do you know why?" The man surnamed Qiu looked around and asked in a low voice.

"Why, Lord Chou, tell me quickly, this is not the same, it will suffocate you to death." The audience next to him was not happy, and asked urgently.

The emperor upstairs's complexion sank, and Shui Chi's complexion was not good-looking, Shui Rong hurriedly persuaded: "Uncle, cousin, don't get angry, let's talk after listening. Although what he said is about the affairs of the palace, it may not be that there is no one behind him. what does that mean."
