Red Mansion: No Empty House Fight

Chapter 60 Jiang Zining 6.6

In fact, these were just Jiang Zining's inner thoughts at first, but who made Jiang Zining die.When the two of them went to Zhuangzi for winter hunting last year, Jiang Zining didn't know whether it was the bowl of deer blood that made the fire or the bowl of wine that drove the cold away. Jin Feng is on him.

Although nothing substantive happened to the last two people, but!Thinking of this, Jiang Zining couldn't help but glanced at his right index finger, as if it still had that warm and moist soft touch.At that time, he found that Jin Feng had woken up from his drunkenness, and when he looked at him sharply, Jiang Zining's reaction was to get out of bed, put on his shoes hastily, and ride back to the city.

Because he was running horses in winter without wearing a cloak, and because he was sweating because of his guilty conscience, Jiang Zining had a solid fever for two days and one night after returning home.Then he started to avoid Jin Feng.

"What's the matter between you and the son of a prince? The two of you haven't seen each other for three or four months! This time, the son of the son is leaving Beijing to suppress the bandits. It's up to you whether you go or not!" Seeing Jiang Zining, Jia Lian wondered where he was going. It's gone, and kept yelling to bring Jiang Zining back to his senses.

"I... well, when? Where?"

"My son will leave Beijing in five days, and we will hold a banquet in Yingyuan on the outskirts of Beijing at noon in four days' time. Don't forget to go!" Seeing that Jiang Zining had agreed, Jia Lian left after successfully completing the task.

Four days passed quickly, and Jiang Zining and his two younger brothers arrived at Yingyuan as scheduled.Because he was among a group of practitioners, Jiang Zining really didn't have time to spend alone with Jin Feng.But I don't know if it was his illusion, Jiang Zining drank a little wine because he restrained himself, but he was already drowsy.After drinking a few cups of hot tea to hangover, Jiang Zining felt even more sleepy.Before he knew it, Jiang Zining fell asleep on the table.

When he woke up the next morning, Jiang Zining found himself in a "creaking" carriage that was swaying forward.Looking at the fabric of the hood and the things placed in other places in the car, as well as the sound of horseshoes and people walking in the distance, Jiang Zining rubbed his aching head, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that it was Jin Feng who gave him Got it in the team heading to Ping'anzhou.

When the coachman heard Jiang Zining's voice in the carriage, he immediately said, "Master Jiang, are you awake? When you wake up, you should quickly change your clothes and horses! After all, we are not serious military carriages, are we?"

Although Jiang Zining didn't know what Jin Feng wanted to do, he still shook off the clothes that were at hand and changed into them.This is a soldier's uniform, with soft armor and a waist knife leaning in the carriage.After Jiang Zining changed, he opened the curtain of the car.The coachman stopped the car immediately, and asked Jiang Zining to get out of the car to change into the bay red army horse that followed the car.

"Master Jiang, Master Shizi said, once you have changed your clothes, go find him in the central army ahead. I will take my leave now." The driver originally dragged Jiang Zining to the back of the team.Now that Jiang Zining got out of the car and got on the horse, he turned around and headed back to the capital.

Jiang Zining got on the horse and thought for a long time: "You really know me!" Jin Feng decided that he needed actual combat experience to verify his theoretical knowledge, so he brought him out first.I don't know what Jin Feng wants to do?Jiang Zining was a little puzzled.He was just impulsive at the time, and he didn't do anything!But what if Jin Feng really took this opportunity to take revenge because he stuck his finger in it?

Jiang Zining curled his lips, and rode forward: "Then don't care about anything, and come back again, so as not to live up to Jin Feng's revenge!"

Who knew that after Jiang Zining saw Jin Feng, Jin Feng dismissed him with only a few words: "You are here. Now there are people in every position in the army, you can be my guard first."

So Jin Feng wanted to use some trivial things to grind him, so he was arranged to be a guard?Originally, Jiang Zining thought so too, but after getting along for a few days, he found that Jin Feng had no intention of embarrassing him at all.

So Jiang Zining let go of all the thoughts in his heart, and began to be a guard seriously.After the suppression of the bandits began, a small team was assigned with the number of people who could fight these wild foxes in person to gain experience.

But at this time in the capital, Lao Pingyuan Hou received a letter from a colleague who was guarding the southwest border, but his brows were frowned, and then he relaxed again.

Back then, the brothers of the Bai family were unable to return to aid on the battlefield. The elder brother died in battle, and the younger brother did not know whether he was dead or alive.Now suddenly there is news of my brother who has been missing for nearly 20 years. Although I don't know if it is true or not, it is always disturbing.After thinking about it, if it is really the second boy of the Bai family, and the letter said that the other party seems to have only recently remembered his identity, so he has already married a naughty girl in the southwest.Then there is no need to give one of the future children of my grandson to my in-laws!

Overall, the news is a mixed bag.Old Hou Ye simply put his hands aside and waited for what the second child of the Bai family would do.

This is Jin Feng's first time off, so the manpower allocated to Jin Feng by his father, King Xining, is very strong.Although at the beginning they suffered a few small losses because they had never fought against the bandits in Yeluzi, these soldiers quickly adjusted their previous habits of fighting against the regular army and beat the group of "bandits" to the ground. It was a big defeat.By the time they broke into the bandit-infested cottage, basically 800 people including the bandit leader were captured alive.

As the leader of the army, Jin Feng entered the hall of the cottage, pushed aside the smelly animal fur and sat down.In the hall at this time, in addition to the bandit suppressing soldiers, there were more than 20 big and small leaders including the bandit leader.

Originally, these people should either be executed on the spot or taken to the capital for trial, but for some reason, an adjutant who came along asked Jin Feng to interrogate them first.

Not to mention whether Jin Feng had the right to interrogate, even if he did, it shouldn't be in this context at this time.But this adjutant seemed to be an extremely senior and loyal subordinate of the Xining County King, so Jin Feng agreed without hesitation.So there was this scene where these 20 people were escorted to the lobby alone.

So Jiang Zining was lucky enough to see twenty or so men crying that he was an honest man, but when the emperor was in power and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he was squeezed by the local powerful family and had to become a bandit.The narration of these people is very skillful, and at the same time it can arouse the sympathy of the listener.If Jiang Zining hadn't seen many things like psychological guidance and hints in an environment of information explosion in his previous life, I'm afraid he really wouldn't have been able to detect it.

From the corner of the eye, Jin Feng glanced at Jin Feng, although he could not bear it, but it was replaced by indifference. Jiang Zining originally didn't intend to point out that these crying bosses, big and small, were far less helpless and miserable than they said.According to Jiang Zining's thinking, as long as Jin Feng has more experience, he will be able to see through these tricks.But Jiang Zining inadvertently saw that the adjutant who proposed to interrogate actually changed from satisfied to unwilling after seeing Jin Feng's change from unbearable to indifferent.

Seeing that his Shangguan was satisfied because he sympathized with the bandit leader, he was also unwilling because Shangguan ignored the bandit leader's misfortune.Jiang Zining wouldn't believe that this adjutant was innocent!

After carefully thinking about the big cases of these bandits, Jiang Zining said, "Da family Zhang from Fulin Village, Kaiping County, Ping'an Prefecture, is a kind-hearted man. Others charge five floors for land rent, but his house only charges three floors. In several natural disasters, not only rent was waived, but also the two villages survived the disaster year, right? I remember that the bandit leader was from Fulin Village. Zhang Dahu saved your family’s life back then! But you are How did you repay? He brought people in, killed Zhang Dahu and his wife and his only son and daughter-in-law, and gang-raped and killed his 15-year-old daughter who was about to get married!"

The bandit leader was dumbfounded listening to Jiang Zining's words, and opened his mouth to ask him how he knew.

"What you don't know is that when you insulted the youngest daughter of the Zhang family, Zhang Dahu's grandson was hidden under the embroidery frame that was kicked down by his little aunt, so he could see you clearly."

"Presumptuous! How can you, a guard, have the qualifications to speak in front of Shangguan?" Seeing Jin Feng blinking, his brows frowned.The adjutant surnamed Zhou immediately reprimanded Jiang Zining.

Jiang Zining continued as if he didn't hear it: "There are also medicinal materials, cloth and food that Xu Ji Commercial Company took with the caravan earlier, and the ten thousand silver bills and more than one thousand taels of silver that they planned to continue to gather supplies along the way! The caravan car clearly The word "relief donation" is inserted in it, which was donated by Beijing Xuji Commercial Bank and the North China Thirteen Banks to the victims of the drought in North China. Before the victims wait for the relief food from the imperial court, they have to count on these to survive! You killed all of them. When you were a buddy and bodyguard, why didn't you think that it was the life money of ordinary people?"

These are the information from the nearby government newspapers.After Jiang Zining heard that Jin Feng was going to suppress the bandits, he asked someone to copy the copy to understand the situation. That's why he knew that these bandits were nothing to fear in front of the Xining County King's army. Before leaving Beijing, he was not very worried about Jin Feng's safety.

"Shut up!" Adjutant Zhou stepped forward and was about to grab Jiang Zining's collar.Jiang Zining pointed at Adjutant Zhou and shouted: "You are bold!" Seeing that Adjutant Zhou was overwhelmed by his own roar, he immediately said, "As an adjutant, he used his qualifications to suppress the prince to interrogate the bandit leader, and even when the guards exposed the bandit leader's hypocrisy Stop it! What are your intentions?"

Jiang Zining felt that Jin Feng and Xining County Prince's peaceful and loyal characters did not seem like people who would take the initiative to rebel.Then someone should guide you.Adjutant Zhou should be one of the pawns that led the Xining lineage to rebel.

It's just that Adjutant Zhou is an old man next to the King of Xining. I don't know if he was bought recently or was arranged by the King of Xining as a first mover?Moreover, besides this person, there may be other hidden clues.

Jiang Zining very much hoped that Adjutant Zhou had been bought recently, otherwise, how powerful the people behind him must have been to arrange such a person more than ten years in advance?Such an opponent is too scary!

Jin Feng was also educated by Chaodou since he was a child, and he immediately thought of something, but he just suppressed it and said: "Enough, is the military camp a vegetable market? Everyone go down to receive punishment!"

Seeing that Jin Feng had noticed, Jiang Zining didn't say any more, and left the hall to go back to the barracks to receive his punishment.After waiting for nearly half a day, the criminal officer came: "Master Jiang, you have been waiting for a long time, and you have just executed the sentence for Adjutant Zhou."

"You know me?" Jiang Zining was surprised.

"Look at what you said, since there were no guards in the barracks, and you caught up from behind during the march the day before. There is nothing interesting in the barracks. Naturally, any new things will be passed on to the brothers. Have a good time." The criminal officer threw the whip in his hand into the wooden barrel, and took out a clean whip from another barrel. "Master Jiang, please take off your shirt, otherwise you will be whipped and then take off your clothes, and the wound will hurt again."

The men in the co-authored military camp are all gossiping because they are bored, right?Jiang Zining obediently took off his waist knife and his soft armor before taking off his shirt.

After receiving the ten lashes, although Jiang Zining could feel blood streaming down his back, it basically didn't hurt very much.Seeing that Jiang Zining had put on his clothes, the criminal officer said, "Don't worry, the wound on your back will scab off within half a month, and there won't even be a scar left! It just looks a little serious."

As he said that, he threw the blood-stained whip back into the original wooden barrel: "The prince of the county is also very strict in governing the army, and I can't use my craftsmanship anymore. It's just that it was passed down from the elders, so it has to be passed on." In order to practice this skill back then, I harmed many pigs and sheep!"

Jiang Zining was confused.He's just a criminal officer, so there's no such thing as unskilled.Then he clasped his fists and left.

When he got back to Jin Feng's tent, Jiang Zining heard Jin Feng say, "Let me see if you take off your clothes."

Because of the way the two got along recently, Jiang Zining naturally didn't want to go anywhere else, and undressed generously to let Jin Feng see the whip wounds on his back.

"I'm fine, it doesn't hurt much." Feeling that Jin Feng picked up the medicine powder and sprinkled it on his back, Jiang Zining comforted Jin Feng, "And the criminal officer said that my back must have scabs in half a month. There will be no scars!"

"Well, if it weren't for his unique skills, father would not have used people to punish disobedient people."

"What special skill?" Just now the criminal officer said that he was skilled or not, and he seemed to be a capable person.

"He executed Adjutant Zhou first. It should be neither red nor swollen or bloody. It's just that after the surname Zhou returned to Beijing, his back should start to itch, then hurt, and finally began to rot unconsciously. Although your injury looks It's heavy, but it's all superficial, and it's gone in an instant. That's his craft."

Great man!Jiang Zining stared and sighed, but didn't ask Jin Feng why he did this to Adjutant Zhou.Anyway, it's about their Xining County Prince's Mansion and has nothing to do with him.Jin Feng has already become vigilant because of this matter, so he will not interfere.

So the army returned to Beijing without any further incidents.

When Jiang Zining returned to the Pingyuanhou Mansion, he was called to the study by the old Hou Ye.First of all, I asked about the experience along the way, and then told him about discovering Bai Xiaoer.

Jiang Zining didn't feel any sense of loss because he couldn't inherit the Bai family.You must know that his mother's family was completely extinct because of the extinction of all six relatives, which led to the fact that although the Bai family was supported by the old master and the old lady, they still could not be respected and loved by Jiang Mingbo.And he is mostly on his own.Now that there is an extra uncle, no matter whether he is close to him or not, it is a sign of helping him.

So Jiang Zining happily went back to his yard, planning to sort out what his mother, the Bai family, would leave to him, and plan to sort out the property of the Bai family that would be brought back when she gave birth to a second child in the future.When they walked to the garden, they met Jiang Mingbo and Jiang Zixing who seemed to be waiting here on purpose.

"Greetings, Father." Now that he saw it, Jiang Zining wanted to salute and say hello to him no matter how much he felt inwardly. "If the father doesn't order, the son will leave."

"Your brother is here, didn't you see?" Jiang Mingbo was angry when he saw Jiang Zining, so he opened his mouth to criticize and criticize.

"Father, don't be angry. I think my brother is just because I can't let go of my wife's affairs." Jiang Zixing immediately tried to persuade him.

"He dares! Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, only Mrs. Bai is jealous and unvirtuous. How can you blame your mother and son for killing yourself?" Jiang Mingbo immediately glared at Jiang Zining, and turned to comfort He patted the shoulder of Jiang Zixing who was full of disappointment.

What a picture of a loving father and a filial son!Jiang Zining pursed his lips and smiled ironically.He originally thought that in the past six years, no one of similar family was willing to marry Jiang Mingbo as his second wife, which would have made him more sober, but he didn't expect it to be the same.

Seeing the smile on Jiang Zining's lips, Jiang Zixing poured oil on Jiang Mingbo's anger: "It's just that my younger brother has always turned a blind eye to me and my mother when he saw him, and he didn't shout or salute. I think he still has resentment in his heart. "

"You still don't pay respects to your brother?" Jiang Mingbo immediately fired at Jiang Zining.

Jiang Zining straightened his back: "Back then in the ancestral hall, my grandfather said that Jiang Zixing and Xiaoliang's family is not as good as the ancestral hall if they don't have a genealogy! Does my father mean to disobey my grandfather?" Jiang Zixing sneered in his heart, after all these years, he didn't expect Jiang Zixing to live longer and come back, and he used some tricks in the back room to provoke Jiang Mingbo to be dissatisfied with him.

Jiang Mingbo originally wanted Jiang Zining to introduce Jiang Zixing to his classmates, but he couldn't say what Jiang Zining had said.In the past five or six years, he has also made no progress on his way to become an official.When he first learned that Marquis Pingyuan wanted Wu Zhuanwen, he asked Jiang Zixing to study hard in order to succeed.It's just that he was suppressed by the old Hou Ye. Although he passed the Tongsheng exam, he didn't even have a classmate or friend, so he was naturally a little helpless.

On the contrary, it was Jiang Zining, although he planned to join the army and practice martial arts, but because he was in the high-level class of the Imperial College, he had a wide range of friends, and his knowledge was not the best but it was not bad.In addition to the feasts of the honored children, occasionally he and his two younger brothers will participate in the literary and poetry gatherings of the students.Jiang Mingbo couldn't be ashamed to let Jiang Ziyao and Jiang Zirong take Jiang Zixing into the circle of literati, so he could only find his own son.Unexpectedly, Jiang Zining was still unable to make a request.

Jiang Mingbo walked away in a fit of anger, regardless of whether Jiang Zixing was embarrassed to face Jiang Zining alone.Jiang Zixing was also annoyed because his goal was not achieved, and he couldn't help but want to hit Jiang Zining: "I heard that the second master of the Bai family has been found, but it's a pity that the piece of fat you ate in your mouth is about to spit out again! I feel distressed, right?"

Jiang Zining resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "Do you think everyone is as greedy as you and misses what they don't deserve? Do you think everyone is as incompetent as you and only cares about other people's things?"

"Jiang Zining!" Jiang Zixing shouted angrily.He was in the Hou Mansion, although he ate and drank well, but his two cousins ​​never thought he existed, and the elders did the same.Even during the Chinese New Year every year, he can't worship the ancestors as a descendant of the Jiang family!He hates it!I hate everyone in the Jiang family!Especially Jiang Zining!

"Don't be so loud." Jiang Zining frowned, "What are you complaining about? Your aunt stole my mother's husband, and you stole my name as soon as you were born. What are you complaining about?"

That's right, the name Jiang Zixing was originally given to the eldest son of the third house along with Jiang Ziyao and Jiang Zirong as a symbol of establishing a family.But back then Jiang Zixing didn't have a genealogy, but he just yelled "Brother" and "Brother".When Jiang Zining and Jiang Ziyao went to the family tree together, Jiang Mingbo asked Ying to write his name and register his household registration, and he decided on the name.It is not difficult to see from the names of the two people that Jiang Mingbo really hopes that the child who can establish a family and inherit the family business is the current Jiang Zixing, and he hopes that Jiang Zining will not cause trouble and live in peace.

Old Hou Ye was so angry that he was half dead, and finally smiled and gave the word "Ning" an explanation of "Jia Ning passed down forever".This can be regarded as a big hatred between the Bai family and the original Jiang Zining.

It would be fine if Jiang Zixing didn't jump around in front of Jiang Zining, but he showed his face in front of Jiang Zining so actively, and even ridiculed Jiang Zining with the affairs of the Bai family, Jiang Zining would just use this incident to stab him.

Jiang Zining has always said to Jiang Zixing that he only cares if the other party is happy as long as he is happy.After speaking, he turned and left.He still has to sort out the property of the Bai family.In the past few years, because Jiang Zining had no daily expenses, he added to the property of the Bai family one after another, and this time he will hand it over to the second uncle.

Moreover, he also wanted to ask his second uncle about the style and appearance of the southwest region—no matter what, he would go to the battlefield for a while. A person who had lived in the southwest for nearly 20 years provided him with reliable information, which was comparable to It is much better for him to read books and explore by himself.

As for Jin Feng, Jiang Zining sighed.Although Jin Feng may be vigilant because of Adjutant Zhou's incident this time, and the Xining County King can find out early that his opponent will not be led to rebellion, but sooner or later, the noble family and the king with a different surname will be dealt with.How can he let Jin Feng escape safely?

On the way back to the yard, Jiang Zining suddenly thought that it was dark under his own lamp.Those who want to build a long army and are not the ones who get the benefits of the rebellion of the border guards are not the sons of the abolished prince!He is the one who cheated the Xining Palace!He already knew it!Why didn't I think of it right away?
