Infrastructure masters in the red building

The third prince said with a sneer: "It turns out that Ning Guogong has also returned to Beijing."

On the day of King Dongping's birthday, Duke Ning Jia Daihua was not in Beijing.Such a big incident happened in Rong Mansion, but there was no movement in Ning Manor.Therefore, the third prince really did not expect that the Ningguo Guild would stand up for his cousin.

Jia Daihua smiled lightly, cupped his fists at the third prince, and said, "I'm so sorry for making the third prince mistakenly think that there is no one in my Jia family." The third prince's face only had the word embarrassment in capital letters.

He could only bite the bullet and chat awkwardly: "It's easy to say, easy to say—this king is here, and he also wants to greet Rong Guogong, Lord Jia, about his injury."

Jia She next to him jumped angrily: "Is there anyone who greets you like this?" He had red eyes, two lines of tears streaming down his cheeks, as if he had been bullied hard.

The third prince shouted innocently in his heart at this moment: He doesn't seem to have done anything to the Rong Mansion, has he?

At this time, Jia Daihua came out to smooth things over: "Forget it, Xier. Didn't you see that the Third Highness is also running around for business?"

The third prince couldn't help but sigh: finally came a person who was willing to say a few nice words.

Unexpectedly, Jia Daihua continued to say: "But since my younger brother has already told His Majesty the truth about the day when the incident happened, the third prince should know the details, so why bother to make a special trip to Rongfu?"

The third prince was at a loss for words.After His Majesty the Emperor visited the Rong Mansion, he never revealed a single word to the Third Prince.The third prince just took this job by himself, trying to get justice for the second brother of the prince.

But at the moment when Jia Daihua said this, he couldn't refute it. If he said clearly that he didn't know, wouldn't it mean that he was just a prince who didn't have a sacred heart, and he came out to do business with a chicken feather as an arrow?

Before he could make a statement, he suddenly heard the sound of hoofbeats on Ningrong Street—good guy, there was a lot of excitement in front of the Rong Mansion today, and a large group of people came here unexpectedly.Hearing the uniform sound of hooves, they quickly moved from far to near, as if there were thousands of troops advancing rapidly.

The thousands of troops and horses came to a sudden stop before they reached Rongfu, and they stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of hooves. A man in armor and plain clothes, accompanied by a hundred cavalrymen, Under the support, he walked forward slowly.

The man on the horse saw the third prince and called out coldly: "Third son!"

"Brother?" The third prince didn't expect to see this man in front of the Rong Mansion, he stepped forward quickly, and bowed his hands: "Brother has arrived in Beijing? When did you arrive?"

The eldest prince had nothing to say, and said coldly: "I haven't seen you for so long, third child, you still like to talk nonsense."

At this time, he questioned the third prince: he has already arrived in Beijing, and seeing his dusty appearance, one should know that he has just arrived in Beijing.

"What's the big brother doing here?" The third prince asked depressedly.

"I heard that you were unhappy when you came to find Duke Rong. We are all colleagues in the northwest, so there is no reason to stand by and watch."

Only then did the third prince remember that when Rong Guogong was in the northwest, he was in the same robe as the first prince.As soon as he heard that the Rongguo Mansion was in trouble, the first prince who had just returned to Beijing actually came to help? ——Then what is he still doing here?It was obvious that he would not do anything here today.

The third prince had no choice but to complain hypocritically: "Brother, how can I have a younger brother? This is not the same, so I still have to do something?"

"If you don't trouble Mr. Rong, you are my good brother!" The eldest prince jumped off his horse, stepped forward, patted the third prince on the shoulder, and pulled him away from the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

When passing by Jia Fang, the First Prince paused, obviously surprised, he did not expect to see Jia Fang here.

"Sixth? Are you here too?"

What else can Jia Fang say?However, he has been in a bad mood recently, coupled with the fact that he has worked very hard, so he really looks haggard from hard work.The eldest prince didn't have any doubts, he just said "hmm" and said, "The prince will be in the funeral the day after tomorrow, we brothers will give him a good gift..."

The third prince was hooked by the elder prince's shoulders, but the expression on his face was also very exciting.This person probably thought to himself: When did the relationship between the boss and this illegitimate son who is completely shady be so good?

Jia Fang nodded in response, but when he turned around, he found that his uncle Jia Daihua was looking at him solemnly.

The eldest prince acted resolutely, not only took away the third prince in a short time, but also took away all the hundred cavalrymen under his command and the yamen servants of the five city soldiers and horses, not a single one was left.

In front of the Rong Mansion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.The servant and the long followers let go of Jia Amnesty, and Jia Amnesty had already regained his composure, and came up with Jia Fang to salute his uncle.

"Come on, Fanger, come to meet your useless big cousin. You haven't seen him yet, have you?" Jia Daihua asked Jia Fang.

At this time, Jia Jing who rushed over was holding a talisman in his hand, and asked suspiciously: "Where was that person just now? ... the boy who suffered from the bloody disaster? I just rushed to write a talisman, and I want to give it to him. He but left?"

The people around were speechless.Everyone seems to be thinking: Uncle Jing is a precocious talent, he was awarded a Jinshi early in the past, why did he seem so stupid after becoming a monk?Where did the third prince get the bloody disaster, and how could he accept the talisman paper that Jia Jing gave him?

Although Jia Fang was embarrassed, he only followed Jia Daihua's instructions and came over to salute Jia Jing. He had seen this big cousin who was obsessed with cultivating Taoism.

His original body was raised by the old lady of the Rong Mansion in the early years, and later lived in Shouling for three years. He really had no contact with the Ning Mansion, and never formally met Jia Jing.

Unexpectedly, Jia Jing did not return the salute, but stared straight at Jia Fang.

"No, no, you are not from my family, you are not from here!" Jia Jing suddenly pointed at Jia Fang and said loudly.

Jia Daihua and Jia Amnesty were extremely embarrassed. The entourage who followed Jia Daihua and Jia Amnesty were all smearing oil on the soles of their feet at this moment, and sneaked into the Rong Mansion-what Jia Jing yelled was no secret, Jia Fang It is the emperor's illegitimate son adopted by the Rong Mansion. This has gradually spread, but no matter what, it should not be shouted in the street at the gate of Rong Guo Mansion.The servants of Ningrong Second Mansion only wanted to avoid suspicion for a while.

But facing Jia Jing, Jia Fang was shocked for no reason.Jia Jing did not say that he was "not Jia" or "not from the Jia family", but that he was not "from here".

Could it be that this nagging cousin really saw through his origins and knew that he wasn't even an adopted son or an illegitimate child, but a wandering spirit that descended from the sky?

But at this moment, Jia Jing suddenly stopped talking. He stood in front of Jia Fang, stared at his "little cousin" carefully, and suddenly said, "There is black air in your Yintang, and the tip of your nose is tilted towards the southeast corner. , there must be a bloody disaster..."

Jia Fang stretched out his hand to rest his forehead, and Jia Daihua also sighed beside him, as if he felt that such a good son was so obsessed with cultivating Taoism that he became like this.

Unexpectedly, Jia Jing stuffed the talisman paper he just wrote into Jia Fang's hand: "This talisman paper is for you, as long as you wear it on your body, it will guarantee that you will turn bad luck into good fortune, and that you will be blessed with good luck. ..."

He babbled on.Jia Fang quickly took the talisman paper, rolled it into a roll and stuffed it in his purse, and thanked this big cousin like a magic stick: "Thank you, Brother Jing."

Jia Jing watched Jia Fang accept the talisman paper, then smiled, turned his eyes away, and greeted the awkward yet polite Jia She.Jia Daihua hurriedly greeted: "Everyone doesn't have to stay outside the door, the brothers and sisters in the house should be in a hurry, why don't you go back quickly?"

Then everyone hurried back to the Rong Mansion and hurried over to the Rongxi Hall.

Seeing that Mrs. Shi was in full obedience at the moment, sitting in front of the Rongxi Hall, she must have considered the possibility that Jia Amnesty could not stop the third prince, so she stayed here, and did not hesitate to use her wealth and life to prevent outsiders from disturbing Jia Daishan.

At this moment, Mrs. Shi saw Jia Daihua bring Jia Amnesty and others in, she was relieved immediately, she leaned on the back of the chair to get up, but she couldn't stand up for a while.

"Brothers and sisters, you are welcome. I came back late, so don't blame your brothers and sisters." Jia Daihua hurriedly greeted Mrs. Shi, and then went into the house to visit Jia Daishan.Mrs. Shi hurriedly ordered someone to help Ning Guogong change his clothes - now anyone who wants to enter the house to visit Jia Daishan must change into a clean outer robe, and no one else is allowed to enter.

This is also the rule handed down by "Shenxian Zhang", and Mrs. Shi followed it meticulously.

Outside Rongxi Hall, Jia Amnesty and Jia Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other.Jia She said: "I think what my father said is right, you should hurry back to the south as soon as possible, and don't wade through this muddy water in Beijing."

But Jia Fang said: "If you want to go back, you have to wait until after the prince's funeral. Wait until uncle sees father, and then make a plan."

Both the first prince and the third prince knew that he had returned to the capital, and it was impossible for him not to attend the prince's funeral.

Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong communicated in the "ward" of Rongxi Hall for more than half an hour.When Jia Daihua came out, he passed on the words of Duke Rong, asking Jia Fang to go in and see him.

This was the first time Jia Daishan asked to see Jia Fang alone in so many days.

Jia Fang hurriedly went to change clothes, washed his hands first, then changed into a cotton robe that had been washed with water, scalded with boiling water and dried before entering Jia Daishan's bedroom.

"Let go!"

As soon as Jia Fang entered the room, Jia Daishan's spirit was much better than when he just came back, his face was bloody, and his cheeks were slightly plump.

"You have worked hard these few days." Jia Daishan said in a deep voice.

Jia Fang hurriedly said: "No, it's not hard. Does father feel better?"

Jia Daishan had hurt his lungs earlier, but at this moment he was a little weak, coughed a few times, and then gestured for Jia to sit down beside him, and said: "Listen to my father, don't go to the funeral of His Royal Highness, now Just go back to the south. Everything will be handled by uncle and father for you."

Even though this man was bruised and bruised, he slipped in front of the gate of hell, still thinking about protecting his children from the wind and rain.

But Jia Fang asked: "Why did the father insist that the child go back to the south? Did he find out that someone would be harmful to the child?"

Jia Daishan shook his head: "I don't have any evidence, I can only say it's my intuition. Since someone dares to attack the prince, they also dare to attack you."

But Jia Fang asked: "But what if I go back to the south? Will they turn against you and Rongfu because they can't find my whereabouts?" In this case, Jia Fang will be under great psychological pressure. The people in Rongning and Ningfu are not related by blood, but let these people take risks and bear the consequences for him... Jia Fang is not such a person.

At this moment, Jia Daishan shook his head and remained silent.

"You mean... my career in the south may help the situation in Beijing?" Jia Fang suddenly thought of this, and asked doubtfully.

Jia Daishan nodded, and said suddenly: "Fang'er, you must go back, go to your Taoyuan village, and finish everything you should do... Don't worry about other people, you only need to do what you should do ..."

These words were even more difficult to understand. Jia Fang frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Father, what did the weapon that hurt you look like?"

Jia Daishan seemed to have been shaken by a violent earthquake, and the muscles on his face twitched, as if recalling some extremely frightening past events.

Jia Fang hurriedly asked: "Is it a firearm? ... It's a long copper or iron pipe that shoots fire out?"

Jia Daishan nodded and said, "Yes...but, the one that hurt His Highness the Crown Prince and me was not the same weapon."

Jia Fang listened to Jia Daishan's brief retelling of the incident, and immediately asked: "You mean... the same murderer first injured His Highness the Crown Prince, then changed a firearm and injured you at close range?"

Jia Daishan nodded slightly.

Jia Xin turned away quickly in his mind—this meant that the firearm in the murderer's hand could not be fired continuously, and he had no way to stop halfway to load the firearm. He could only choose to prepare two weapons in advance, and hurt the prince first, and then hurt Jia Daishan. .

In addition, judging from the shooting distance, the shooting range seems to be relatively short, and there are still some defects as a weapon.

Thank God——Jia Fang closed his eyes, relaxed his tense nerves for a while, and thanked God in his heart.He thought to himself that if this is the case, then the opponent's firearms are still very rudimentary, and if he tries hard to catch up, he may be able to catch up.

But the question is what will he do to catch up?Jia Daishan asked him to go back to the south, did he want him to rely on Taoyuan Village to develop industries and manufacture weapons?

Jia Daishan saw that he explained the situation a little bit, Jia Fang seemed to realize something, nodded slightly with satisfaction, and persuaded again earnestly: "Go back to the south, you will definitely find clues there, and... you can be safe." a little……"

Jia Fang thought to himself: This is really not the time for him to worry about his own safety.

But Jia Fang promised Jia Daishan verbally: "Don't worry, father, for the prince... After the second brother's funeral, I will return to the south immediately."

Jia Daishan heard that the brotherhood between him and the prince was carried out, and he knew that he could not persuade him any more, so he could only tell him to be careful in everything when he was in Beijing.

When he was young, Jia Fang resigned from Jia Daishan and came out of his room.Ningguo Gong Jia Daihua was waiting outside the door nervously and asked him, "How is it?"

Jia Fang only said that he would go back to the south immediately after the prince's funeral.When Jia Daihua heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but unexpectedly he didn't say anything, he just nodded and said, "Understood, the two governments will make arrangements according to this."

That night, Jia Fang had a nightmare. He dreamed that he was searching repeatedly in the dark, but he didn't know what he was looking for.

Suddenly, a black copper pipe in front of him was lifted, and dazzling sparks shot out from the copper pipe.Jia Fang lowered his head to look at himself, and saw many glowing wounds appeared on his body, and then the light turned dim, and his body slowly disappeared into the void.

When he raised his head again, the copper pipe disappeared without a sound.Taoist priest Jia Jing, who had met once, came over singing, stretched out his hand and pasted a talisman on his forehead, and with a wave of his hand, the talisman burned quickly.

Immediately, Shui Xian appeared in the darkness, looking at him coldly with folded arms, without sympathy in his eyes.

Jia Fang woke up sweating profusely, only to realize it was a dream.

He didn't understand why he wasn't woken up when someone shot at him, but when he saw such a cold Shui Xian, he woke up with a start.

It's easy to be vulnerable.After that, Jia Fang never fell asleep again. Instead, he sat up from the couch and rubbed the bridge of his nose vigorously, trying to make himself feel better.

Such a big event happened in Rongguo Mansion.After he rushed back from the south, he also asked Shuangwen for help, delivering a letter to Baigongfang.When Shuangwen came back, he said that the faces that were common in Baigongfang before had disappeared, and it seemed that a group of people had changed.

In the past few days when he returned to Beijing, there was no news from Shui Xian, not even any exchange of courtesy between the government.Since he said a wrong sentence last time, the two of them were obviously born, but he really didn't expect to be born like this.

Jia Fang rubbed the bridge of his nose to heat it up, then raised his head to look into the darkness, and smiled wryly: Maybe... this way, it's pretty good.

On the day of the prince's funeral, all the princes, nobles, civil and military officials in the capital have gone out to gather in the palace since they were ugly.Horses and sedan chairs were crowded in front of the palace gate, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

Jia Fang and his elder brother Jia She, who had won the position of the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, went in the same car, and Jia Daihua, Duke of Ningguo, drove in front of them.The group of people waited for half an hour in a daze before arriving at the place where they were supposed to get off.

Jia Fang followed Jia She to leave his own car and walked to the East Palace with all the officials, when he suddenly heard Jia She say hello beside him: "Prince Beijing, I haven't seen you for a long time."
