Jia Zheng through the Red Mansions

After Aunt Xue finished speaking, Jia Zheng was taken aback. How can there be any reason for his sister-in-law to preside over the funeral for her brother-in-law after her husband died?Just as he was about to say no, he saw a young servant rushing in from the door, panting and said to Aunt Xue: "Madam, Uncle Xie, Uncle Bat, and Third Centipede are at the door!"

Aunt Xue's face changed drastically when she heard this, and she couldn't help looking at Jia Zheng with a pleading look in her eyes.

Before Jia Zheng could speak, the deputy behind him quietly tugged on Jia Zheng's sleeve. He could see clearly just now that after the boy at the door finished talking about the three people, the room was full of mourners. His ears were almost pricked up, and he clearly saw that some people still had gloating expressions on their faces.

The reason for making trouble at the funeral—— Daimu rolled his eyes, this Xue family is a well-known figure in Jinling, after staying here for a few days, those things of the Xue family are the topics of other people's leisure time, this Xue family has a wealth of money. Countless, now the master in charge of the house is dead, leaving behind orphans and widows, and next to him are brothers and nephews from the side branch clan watching over him. It seems that the people who are making trouble now are probably relatives of the Xue family.

This muddy water is not easy to wade through. It won't do the master any good if it's done well. If it's not done well, it will cause a mess. Although Daimu is young, he spends all day among servants and servants. He can hear such nasty things Quite a few, remembering Hongxi's order at this moment, he hastily tugged on Jia Zheng's sleeve to prevent him from answering Aunt Xue's words.

At this time, I saw three young people had already walked to the door of the mourning hall. They were all wearing white mourning clothes, but there was no trace of grief on their faces.

"Auntie, now that uncle is gone, don't be too sad. If you fall ill too, what will happen to Brother Pan and Sister Baochai?" The one on the left who spoke was the older one. Xue salamander

"Samander has a heart." Seeing Jia Zheng's silence, Aunt Xue was anxious in her heart, but she had to force her composure on her face.

"Cousin, now that Uncle has passed away, Brother Pan is young, and Auntie is not easy to show her face. I'm afraid we need brothers to support this huge Xue family property, don't you think?" The bat said.

Aunt Xue's expression turned gloomy when she heard this: "Above the mourning hall, your uncle's bones are not yet cold, yet you still say such things!"

"Auntie, you are wrong. It is on the mourning hall, so I have to say that if the property bought by uncle is destroyed in the hands of aunt and brother Pan, I am afraid that uncle's spirit in heaven will also blame you, right?" Xue Wu wore He is gentle and speaks slowly, but his words are harsh and mean.

Aunt Xue's eyes turned red when she heard that, what does it mean that the Xue family was destroyed in the hands of herself and Pan'er?Is this speaking human language?

"Where are you here to pay tribute to the funeral? You are obviously taking advantage of the fire to rob us and bully our orphans and widows!" Aunt Xue couldn't calm down even if she wanted to, and she was trembling with anger.

"Auntie is overthinking, we just want to help Auntie share her worries." Xue Wu made a bow, bent down and was about to get up, but heard Xue Zhan shouting next to him:

"Brother Centipede, be careful!"

As soon as Xue Wu raised his head, he saw a black object flying towards him, and hit him on the bridge of the nose with a "snap", causing Xue Wu to fall to the ground with a thud, holding his nose, and the blood flowed out.

Everyone in the room was stunned, and all eyes were focused on Xue Wu, only to see that black thing was just a tablet made of high-grade hemlock!

Everyone looked towards the mourning hall in unison, only to see Xue Pan ran out at some point and was standing beside the coffin, staring at the three of them with gritted teeth.

"Bah, you shameless come here to bully my mother and my sister, look at Uncle Pan, I won't beat you to death! What are you guys still watching here, copy guys for me and beat them up Get out!" With a wave of Xue Pan's little arm, the servants behind him all started to move, picking up sticks one by one.

Seeing this battle, the three of Xue Wu lost all their toughness just now, and Xue Wu didn't care about his bleeding nose, and ran faster than anyone else.

But he said why Xue Pan ran to the front. It turned out that not long after the doctor left, Xue Pan woke up and cried out that he was hungry. This Xue Pan ate three big bowls of rice in one go, almost choked on the way, and the corners of Master Shi's eyes twitched as he devoured it voraciously.

Just when Xue Pan was full, covering his stomach and humming comfortably, the front became lively, and a young man who had followed Xue Pan for two or three years saw it, and this young man also became infected with Xue Pan following Xue Pan. Xue Pan has a bit of a temper, and when he heard that Xue Wu and others would lose their family property one by one, he felt relieved for Xue Pan, and immediately came to report the news.

When Xue Pan heard that his three clan brothers were bullying him, his eyes widened immediately, he jumped off the chair, and went straight to the mourning hall in front of him. As soon as he entered, he heard that Xue Wu was about to bully his mother. Weeping angrily, how could this Xue Pan get it, so he picked up his father's spiritual tablet and swung it at Xue Wu's head.

Don't look at Xue Pan's weight loss now, but in those days he was chopping firewood and carrying water every day, but his strength grew. He had just had a full meal, and Xue Pan's nose was knocked off.

The guests in the mourning hall who were planning to watch the excitement really watched the excitement, and some of them were still thinking about not taking advantage of the fire to get some oil from Xue's house, so they dared not speak.

When Master Shi saw him inside, he narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Good boy, Master Shi likes this energy!

Aunt Xue, on the other hand, was surprised and delighted, and grabbed her son, not knowing what to say, pointing at Jia Zheng and introducing to Xue Pan, "Meet your uncle soon."

Xue Pan rolled his eyes, looked at Jia Zheng, and said to Aunt Xue: "Mother, I have seen all our relatives, where did such an uncle appear?"

Aunt Xue saw that her son was confused again, and gave him a look: "Your uncle's family is in the capital, and he just came to Jinling."

"Ah, it's the uncle of Jia's family in the capital. Mother, why didn't you say it earlier? Didn't I know that if you said it earlier, didn't you just snatch away my favorite pair of golden horses during the Chinese New Year last year?" Their family! I still feel bad when I think about it now!" Xue Pan said suddenly.

Aunt Xue was anxious and angry. Although she was a little dissatisfied that Jia Zheng didn't help her out just now, but now they are orphans and widows, and none of the relatives on the Xue family can count on it. Now, she has only her brother and sister in Jingzhong to rely on, and she must not offend her brother-in-law at this time.

Now Jia Zheng couldn't laugh or cry, this Xue Pan is really worth seeing once!

Jia Zheng spent a whole day in Xue's mansion, and Hong Xi was not idle. After Jia Zheng left, he left the inn with two guards and went to Jinling Zhongshan.

At the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, Hong Xi raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see the winding and precipitous lush green hills in front of him, completely different from the bustle and prosperity of Jinling City.

Not long after standing still, I saw a person in front of me riding a fast horse galloping from the woods on a gentle slope. When he stood in front of Hong Xi, the man got off his horse, knelt on the ground and said to Hong Xi, "See Your Highness Changsun , the governor ordered the villain to wait for you here."

Hong Xixu helped him up: "Lead the way ahead."

The man led Hong Xi and two guards into the woods, there were horses prepared inside, the four of them got on the horses, walked through the woods, along the gentle slope all the way, and stopped in front of the gate of a big temple.

Hong Xi got off his horse, handed the reins to the young monk waiting at the gate of the temple, and then looked up at the temple in front of him, only to see the solemn and solemn Lin Palace Buddhist Temple in front of him, with a high plaque hanging on the gate, which read "Ling Valley The four big characters "Chanlin", a pair of couplets twice and this plaque were written by the same person, who is the emperor of today, Kangxi.

Entering Linggu Temple along the road, Hongxi followed the man into a secluded side hall, opened the door, and saw that the person in the main room was Wu Wenyuan, the magistrate of Nanjing. Seeing Hong Xi enter the door, she quickly knelt down on the ground: "My servant has seen His Highness."

"Master Wu, you don't need to be too polite. Ama once told me that Master Wu is the safest thing to do." Hongxi smiled, helped Wu Wenyuan up, and sat down on the east chair.

"Thanks to the crown prince's favor, I am ashamed to be an official." Wu Wenyuan said modestly, but there was still a trace of joy that could not be concealed in his eyes, and he stood beside Hong Xi with his head bowed, his back slightly bent.

Hongxi smiled and said, "I won't say any more polite words, I want to know who is causing the trouble in Jiangdu?"

"Returning to Your Highness, there is news from the Crown Prince that the fourth master and the thirteenth master are in Jiangdu at this time." Wu Wenyuan stood beside Hong Xi, and when he heard Hong Xi asked about this matter, he quickly replied.

Hong Xi frowned slightly, Fourth Uncle always kept a low profile, but this time he went to the south of the Yangtze River and acted as an imperial envoy, which meant that Fourth Uncle must have obeyed Huang Mafa's orders.

What does Huang Mafa mean?Could it be that he already knew that Ama was responsible for the Jiangnan incident, and used himself as a smoke screen to confuse everyone's attention, and secretly asked the fourth uncle to investigate?

Thinking of this, Hong Xi's face changed, and he looked at Wu Wenyuan: "I checked the accounts of the river embankment, and the person who handled it turned out to be the Xue family under Uncle Jiu's family. I don't know what happened. When did the Xue family change their votes?" Under Ama's sect?" When I came here, I met Uncle Jiu, and Uncle Jiu also said that he came here to visit the sick, but he was visiting the Xue family's sick!

Wu Wenyuan replied: "Your Highness doesn't know something. The Xue family was greedy for the money allocated for repairing the embankment, and even showed favor to His Highness the Crown Prince. It's a pity that he tried his best to figure it out, and finally became a ready-made scapegoat."

"Oh?" Hongxi's eyes were slightly startled when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized, and he couldn't help laughing: "Everyone in the world knows that this Xue family is under Uncle Jiu's family, and now the Xue family has conclusive evidence on this matter, and they are dead again." Well, now that the physical evidence is all there, and the witnesses are dead, even if Uncle Nine has ten mouths, he still can't separate himself from this matter!"

"Your Highness is wise, that's exactly the case." Wu Wenying paused, and then said cautiously: "It's just Your Highness, the fourth master is still investigating, should we..."
