Rebirth of the third master of the ring of the Red Chamber

Since the farewell at Biyou Pavilion, Jia Huan and the third prince have not seen each other for half a month.

This day was the 24th birthday of the Third Prince, and he almost couldn't wait to send a post to Rongguo Mansion.

Although he hadn't participated in the government for three years, the emperor always summoned the Prince of Jin once in a while, and let him return to the mansion after dinner.Although Prince Jin is indifferent, doesn't seek fame and wealth, and has resigned all his official positions, it doesn't mean that he can be despised because of this.If he intends to enter the court, it is only a matter of one sentence.

Therefore, on the day of the birthday, many civil and military officials, royal family members were present, and the prince also came with a generous gift from the emperor.

Jia Huan was welcomed into the mansion by the servants, he voluntarily went to the tables of the little people, picked up the chopsticks and buried his head in eating. Seeing the third prince looking over from a distance, he raised his wine glass to him and waved his hand again, expressing that he didn't need to talk to him.

The third prince also didn't want him to attract too many people's attention, so he could only suppress his worries in his heart and deal with the brothers.

The fifth prince didn't have so many scruples, and immediately ran over, drove the people sitting beside him away, grabbed the wine glass in his hand and drank it down, sighing, "You are here. Those people It takes ten detours to say a word, and it almost suffocates me to death! If it wasn't for waiting for you, I would have left my motherfucker long ago."

Jia Huan glanced at him with a smile, picked up the flagon to add wine, found that it was empty, and waved to the attendant not far away.

The attendant quickly came over with a pot of wine, but because it was too full, he spilled a bunch of wine on Jia Huan's clothes when he put it down.Startled, he knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

The fifth prince was about to kick him, but was stopped by Jia Huan, who warned in a low voice, "Today is Tu Xiuqi's birthday, don't spoil his interest." Then he waved his hand to the attendant, "It's okay, you step back. "

"Third Master, my servant will take you down to change, shall we? You can't wear wet clothes in the cold weather." The attendant said cautiously.

"Let's go, change quickly! Don't get sick from the cold and make my heart hurt!" The fifth prince was in a hurry and urged him to leave the table.

Jia Huan had no choice but to follow his attendants to the backyard, raised his eyebrows halfway and asked, "Why don't you go to the wing room instead of the study?"

"Reporting to the third master, there are many female guests here today, and the rooms have been vacated for them to take a nap after drinking or change their clothes and make-up. It is not easy for male guests to go." The attendant explained respectfully.

Jia Huan didn't ask any more questions, and walked forward slowly.Fortunately, there were many clothes left for him in the palace, the attendant found a dry set and handed it in, and retreated outside the door to wait.The Fifth Prince sat on the desk with a sullen face, refusing to leave.

Jia Huan glanced at him, and took off his coat generously.

"Is the obscene clothes not soaked?"

"Unfortunately, not soaked."

"Let's change it together even if it's not soaked, the red obscene clothes paired with the light blue robe, how ugly!"

"Ugly? I don't think so." After fastening his belt, Jia Huan raised his eyes and sneered at him.

The fifth prince looked up to the sky and sighed, and reluctantly jumped off the desk and walked out.The attendant who made a mistake has disappeared, perhaps because the front hall hastily called him over.Both of them don't like to socialize in a roundabout way, they just step on the snow and play and sway all the way.

When they arrived at the front hall, the Fifth Prince was dragged away by several generals to compete for wine. Jia Huan buried his head in his meal, and when he was [-]% full, he threw away his chopsticks and looked around.

The handsome young man was surrounded by the stars like the moon, with a gentle and amiable smile, whether he was a civil servant or a general, he could say a few words, and every sentence was reasonable, sharp and admirable.He is a born politician, the more complicated the environment, the more comfortable he is, unlike himself, no matter how much he pretends to be a normal person on the surface, he will never be able to adapt to the stable and comfortable life of a normal person, he will always kill and see blood from time to time to feed the prisoner in his heart beast of prey.

Looking away, without saying goodbye to anyone, Jia Huan quietly left Prince Jin's Mansion, boarded the carriage, lay down in the soft brocade quilt, and sighed.

"Why did the third master come out so early?" The dumb girl asked crisply while taking out pastries from the hidden drawer.The mute, who had grown a lot taller and stronger, was driving outside in silence.

"I feel that I'm not with them. It's boring to stay any longer, so I came out." Jia Huan said slowly, and was about to squeeze a piece of pastry into his mouth when he saw a small package on the table and asked, " What is this? Who sent it?"

"A eunuch sent it, saying that it was the dirty clothes that you changed, Third Master. I have read them all, and there is no problem." The dumb girl replied with a smile.

Jia Huan didn't ask any more questions. He picked up the pastry and chewed slowly, but his eyes stayed on the intricately embroidered and exquisitely crafted package.

Inside were indeed the clothes he was wearing today, and after being spread out, there was still a faint smell of wine.Jia Huan glanced at it, then threw it aside casually, picked up the wrapping cloth and groped it inch by inch, until he found a slightly thicker place, and sneered.

"Third Master, what happened? Is there something wrong with this package?" The dumb girl also felt something was wrong and asked in a low voice.

Jia Huan waved his hand and said with a half-smile, "It's okay, just park the car by the side of the road and I'll wait for a few people."

The mute quickly grabbed the rein and stopped the horse.The snow began to fall again at some point, covering the criss-crossing ruts and mottled footprints on the street.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of hooves kicking approached, Xiao Ze galloped with a line of guards, caught sight of the carriage waiting on the side of the road, and immediately stopped and asked loudly, "Is the third master Huan in the carriage?"

"It's me." A lazy and clear voice sounded.

"Please also ask the third master to go back with his subordinates, the prince has something to look for you." Xiao Ze cupped his hands.

"Let's go." The boy didn't ask any questions, and made the mute turn the car around.

Prince Jin's Mansion.

All the princes left one after another, and the ministers of civil and military affairs were almost gone. The ninth prince wanted to borrow a book to read back, and came to the study side by side with the third brother. At first, he didn't feel anything, but when he searched on the bookshelf, he found several books. This travel note is placed in a particularly messy manner. When it is removed, there is a hidden compartment inside the wall. Someone has opened the nine-twist chain lock, revealing a stack of letters.

Which honorable nobleman in Beijing doesn't set up one or two hidden compartments in the study to store his personal belongings?This is a well-known secret, but it is really embarrassing to be bumped into, and it will cause a lot of trouble.

The Ninth Prince's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly put down his book and bid farewell to Brother Huang.However, before he could retreat, the guard standing outside the door suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, saying that he had neglected his duty today, because of Gu Nianhuan's kindness to save the prince's life, he and the fifth prince were allowed to enter, which led to the theft of the secret letter .He didn't dare to extravagantly ask his master to forgive him, and was willing to apologize with death.

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out his saber and killed himself, which caught Xiao Ze and others by surprise.

Blood splattered all over the ground, the Ninth Prince was so frightened that his face paled and he was on the verge of falling, he hurriedly supported his brother's arm so as not to faint.

When he found out that the secret compartment had been opened, the Third Prince didn't want to let the Ninth Prince go. Seeing that the matter involved Huan'er, he was determined to detain him until the truth came out.

Immediately ordered Xiao Ze to chase Huan'er, the third prince took out the letter paper, regardless of the blood all over the ground, and the panic-stricken Ninth Prince, he checked each letter by himself, and sighed after a while, "I lost three letters from my grandfather to me. King's letter."

How dare the Ninth Prince ask about the content of the letter, Wei Wei sat beside him after agreeing to the promise, feeling a little uneasy.

"Yo, what's the matter? You were assassinated?" The fifth prince and several generals drank happily, and stayed until the end before leaving. Just as they were about to get on their horses, some guards said, "Hurry up, Jia Huan." , I can’t go far’ and so on, I can’t move, so I hurriedly turned back to check the situation.

The third prince looked at him and said lightly, "You came just in time, the secret letter in my study was stolen. According to the guards, only you and Huan'er are allowed in tonight's dinner."

"Third son, it's fine to doubt the king, but you suspect Huan'er, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?! What did he do to steal your letter!" The fifth prince was furious.

The Ninth Prince hurriedly buried his head, not daring to get involved in the confrontation between the two imperial brothers.

The third prince massaged his temples, and said slowly, "This king has never said anything about doubting Huan'er. When he comes, this matter will be over. If you feel unhappy, you can leave first."

"Leave so that you can slander Huan'er?" The Fifth Prince snorted coldly, "If you dare to touch even a single hair of Huan'er, I won't care if you were born or not, and your palace will be demolished!"

Huduzi's tone made the third prince very unhappy, and looked out the window with a cold face.

Seeing that he ignored him, the fifth prince also felt bored, and kept staring at the door.

The Ninth Prince stood between the two, in a dilemma, wanting to leave but dared not speak.

The atmosphere in the study was very awkward.

At that moment, a guard rushed to the door, knelt down and said, "I would like to report to the lord, my subordinates found a corpse in the dry well in the side courtyard. Someone stabbed him in the chest and killed him with a knife!"

"Bring him over here." The Third Prince ordered in a deep voice.

The corpse was quickly carried over, the Ninth Prince turned sideways to avoid it, but the two princes stepped forward slowly to examine it carefully.

"This person is the attendant who led the king and Huan'er into the study to change clothes." The fifth prince pointed out, squatted down and looked at the murder weapon stuck in the opponent's heart, and said with a sneer, "This is the dagger that the king gave to Huan'er. Because of its unique shape, the cutting edge is not very sharp, so Huan'er used it to peel fruit, and was used to throwing it away when it was used up, but some thief touched it! What a plan to frame it! Third child, don't put Find out about this matter, this king will never give up!"

Seeing that he knew so much about Huan'er, even better than himself, the Third Prince felt extremely uncomfortable, and kept his face cold and silent.

The fifth prince misunderstood that he was suspicious of Huan'er, and grabbed his lapel to warn him word by word, "Third son, repeat, this matter has nothing to do with Huan'er. You doubt this king, doubt a few brothers, doubt anyone. Just don't doubt him. He treats you..." At this point, the voice barely stopped.

The third prince's eyebrows twitched, and he asked, "How does he treat this prince?"

"Anyway, he will never betray you." The Fifth Prince said reluctantly.

The third prince stared at him for a long while, then suddenly laughed in a good mood, patted his arm away, and sat back in the study to drink tea leisurely.

About two quarters of an hour later, the young man stepped across the threshold with steady steps, caught a glimpse of the two corpses on the ground, and said with a smile, "A murder case caused by a package. Tu Xiuqi, you have to return my innocence, otherwise I will just hang around You are not leaving the house."

"I can't ask for it." The third prince pulled him to sit beside him, and looked at Xiao Ze who followed him.

Xiao Ze presented a package.

"What you are looking for may be sewn inside the wrapping cloth." Jia Huan poured himself a cup of hot tea and took a sip.

Seeing that he was so calm, the fifth prince's heart slowly fell to the ground, and he said unhappily, "Huan'er, there is no proof of death right now, and the stolen goods have somehow come into your hands. The third child may suspect us. Don't worry, my lord." Never let him wrong you at will, and help you find out who is behind it, and then cut him into pieces and tear him into pieces!"

"This is my prince's housework, don't bother you to do it! Come, see off!" The third prince couldn't bear his provocation, and shouted outside the door.

Xiao Ze immediately brought a team of guards in, half of his sabers were drawn out, but his tone was very respectful, "Please also ask the fifth prince to move back to the mansion so that our master can deal with the internal thieves."

The Fifth Prince was about to slap the table and get angry, but Jia Huan stood up first, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "The things have been sent back, so I won't keep any more, so I will leave with the Fifth Prince. If you find out the truth, please be sure to tell me." !" Noticing that the Ninth Prince was also present, his speech was not as casual as before.

The burning anger of the fifth prince was extinguished immediately, he grabbed his wrist and walked out without saying goodbye to his master.

The Third Prince stood at the door of the study and watched the two of them go away, his heart was torn apart one after another, it was painful and sore, and he was also a little depressed, he couldn't tell what it was like and why it happened.

"Brother Huang, you just let them go? They stole your secret letter." The Ninth Prince stood behind him at some point and said angrily.

"There is no secret letter." The third prince went back to the house and cut open the cloth with a dagger, and took out three letterheads.

"But, isn't the letter here? Brother Huang, you are treating people too generously. Brother Wu Huang is targeting you everywhere, even trying to win over Jia Huan, with ulterior motives..." The Ninth Prince stopped in astonishment before he could finish speaking. Because the third prince had opened the envelope and unfolded the letter paper, there was nothing on it, it was blank.

"What, what's going on here?" The Ninth Prince thought for a while, and said, "Brother Three Emperors, is this secret compartment used to confuse people? The secret letters inside are all blank paper? So, Jia Huan cannot be washed away." Suspicion! After all, he still stole the letter, but because he was too nervous, he didn't have time to check the contents."

"No, the other letters are all true." The Third Prince smiled lightly, and opened the letters one by one for the Ninth Prince to read, and put them back before he could see the contents clearly.Sure enough, the pages were filled with words, but the three missing ones were blank.

"I don't take the other letters, but I only take these three. Huan'er is not that stupid." Putting the letter back, he stood up and said, "I made Jiuhuang brother laugh at me today. It's getting late, brother Huang personally take you back."

"No, no, there is such a big event in the imperial brother's house, and the imperial brother will not bother you." The ninth prince hastily declined, and left in a daze, cursing secretly as he walked: so many trusts are not stolen, but secretly Three blank sheets of paper were framed, such a stupid thief deserves to die!

When everyone was gone, the third prince withdrew his gentle mask and said with a sneer, "Qi Huan'er prepared a special potion for me. After spraying it on the paper, as long as I leave my study, the handwriting will disappear immediately. There are a hundred mouths and I can't tell. Tu Qingcang (ninth prince) didn't borrow books early and late, but came to borrow books at this time. Is it a coincidence or deliberate... Xiao Ze, call everyone in the house to me Come here, I will check one by one! To know where the hidden compartments are, and open my special nine-twist chain lock without any effort, it must be done by someone close to me..." Speaking of the last sentence, the tone was extremely cold.

Xiao Ze bowed his head in agreement, and mourned silently for those who touched the letter paper in the dark compartment.Huan Sanye once said - if you take things from people casually, your hands will rot!
