Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian said goodbye to Feng Ziying, and couldn't wait to talk to Jia Rong, so he went back to the main room and examined Sister Feng: "What the hell are you doing? Why did you ask Yingchun to come out to see Feng Ziying?" Sister Feng pretended to be surprised: "Isn't that what you mean?"

Jia Lian snorted coldly: "Nonsense!"

Sister Feng sneered: "I'm talking nonsense? You clearly knew that Yingchun lived here, but you brought him back. Could it be that Yingchun didn't let him see you?"

Jia Lian pointed at Sister Feng and said, "You, you, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I fall in love with Feng Ziying?"

Sister Feng was stunned: "You don't like Feng Ziying? Why do you look down on him? He is an official, handsome, and close to you. Where can I find such a good brother-in-law?"

Jia Lian snorted coldly: "What do you know? Feng Ziying is not an ordinary person. Yingchun can't handle him. This matter won't work!"

But Sister Feng stepped up: "Why can't it work? Unmarried men and women are unmarried, so it's okay. The wife is married to go home to love and live, to have children to carry on the family, and not to marry and go home to fight? Why do women want to do this?" Husband?"

Feng Ziying is a great spy!

So did Jia Lian himself.

Feng Ziying's identity is a secret.Just as the imperial decree bestowed by Jia Lian did not mention his status as the left envoy of the General Secretary.The Secretary of the General Administration is responsible for supervising all the officials. Some people can show it on the surface, but some people want to sell the dog's meat in order to cover up the identity of the Secretary of the General Administration. They hang some idle positions in other yamen or places.

Feng Ziying is no doubt capable, no matter her background, otherwise, Sister Feng would not like him.

However, Jia Lian just felt that Yingchun and Feng Ziying were not suitable.

To put it frustratingly, Feng Ziying sold Yingchun, probably Yingchun is still smiling and helping him count the money!

Therefore, Jia Lian felt that the marriage was not a good match.Once Feng Ziying bullies Yingchun, will Jia Lian stand out?If it is not done well, our brothers will not be able to do it!

Jia Lian has thought about Yingchun's marriage. Next autumn, he will go to the list to catch his son-in-law and find Yingchun a student from Jiangnan who has passed the Jinshi.Yingchun is not suitable for military generals, but it is just right to marry a literati.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian thought of Sun Shaozu, who asked Jia Yun to investigate him a few days ago, but he didn't know how the investigation went.According to Jia Lian's mind, the Sun family is not a good thing, and it is best to be wiped out as soon as possible, so as to fill the life of Yingchun who died unjustly in the previous life, so as to avoid future troubles.

When Jia Lian thought of this matter, she stopped talking to Sister Feng, and just said: "This matter is inappropriate, don't talk about it!"

He hurried out of the main hall and went to the study by himself. First, he had a detailed chat with Jia Rong about the Seventh Prince. In order to increase Jia Rong's sense of responsibility, Jia Lian brought out the matter of the Gu family's lure of the Wang family to release usury, and Lai Da's rebellion. The matter was instigated by Leng Zixing, and Leng Zixing was talking about the Gu family's affairs.

The reason why Leng Zixing plotted against the Jia family was to give the Gu family a substitute, and the Gu family made money to push the Seventh Prince to the top position.

Jia Lian clearly told Jia Rong that he wanted to deal with the Gu family.Therefore, one day they will face off against the Seventh Prince's mother and son. Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to take the initiative to disrupt the enemy's position.

Jia Rong was amazed when she heard the words: "But I think the empress dowager is very kind to the first prince and his wife? I thought that according to the rules, the first prince must be the prince!"

Jia Lian snorted: "According to the regulations, can His Majesty be enthroned?"

Jia Rong was stunned, and then nodded frequently: "My nephew understands, second uncle, please tell me, what do you need my nephew to do?"

Jia Lian was silent for a moment, and suddenly remembered where he saw a mortgage contract for a farm in the south of the Yangtze River in Leng Zixing. He suddenly had an idea, and said, "Just chat with Miss Zhen, saying that a few days ago, those bandits killed a person. He found a mortgage contract for thousands of land on him. Because the man fell into the water, the contract was a bit vague, like Liu Zhuangzi, so he said that I thought it was floating wealth, and the contract had been handed over to the Ministry of War. It is estimated that the Ministry of War will soon Use that Zhuangzi."

Jia Rong was stunned: "Is this really the case? Qianqing? That's [-] mu!"

"Which family's prodigal son did this? It's worthy of a prince's meritorious service!"

Jia Lian immediately laughed when he heard the words.

Jia Rong blushed immediately.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "That's right, that's right. If you want to lie to others, you must first lie to yourself."

Jia Rong was stunned: "Isn't it true? I said how can there be such a stupid person who took out Qianqing's land and was not beaten to death by his father!"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "It's true that the land is full of land, but the contract has not been soaked in water, and no one has died!"

Jia Rong was shocked again: "Is there really such a prodigal son?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "It's just that the status and position are different. I remember that a poor relative of our family came to my house as a guest. When she saw that we had to kill chickens and boil soup to improve the taste, she proclaimed the Buddha's name and said that she was too prodigal. It is a sin! For a rich man like Shen Wansan, it is not uncommon to pave the floor with gold bricks."

Jia Lian lowered his voice while talking: "Do you know how much money the emperor spent on his trip to the south of the Yangtze River?"

Jia Rong stared at the star: "How much will it cost? You can't go out for a walk, just spend a million taels of silver?"

Jia Lian snorted coldly: "It takes 200 million silver just to build the emperor's residence, and 100 million is not enough for him to waste money!"

Jia Rong was astonished: "God, the emperor is really a prodigal!"

Jia Lian reached out and knocked a chestnut on his head: "Careful! This is disrespectful, just keep it in your heart, how can you say it? Be careful that it comes out of your mouth!"

Jia Rong covered her mouth in fright: "No, no, my nephew just talks a lot in front of my second uncle, and I always pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of others. Second uncle, tell me to think twice before speaking. My nephew always remembers it." The empress dowager even praised me, saying that I am young and mature!"

Jia Lian nodded: "Just remember, there is one thing you must remember, you must tell me or Yun'er yourself about the news in the palace. Besides, you can't tell a third person, even if the news doesn't come out, And don't fake hand servants or anyone else. Take my word for it, don't trust servants, they're a bunch of leeches, and if you mess with them, they'll bite you like tarsal maggots until they suck you up Do it. Therefore, you must remember my words, even if you don’t spread the news, don’t pretend to be a servant. Don’t put your life in the hands of outsiders!”

Seeing Jia Lian's seriousness, Jia Rong hurriedly agreed, and kept it in his heart. According to his three years of experience with Jia Lian, he knew that Jia Lian would never talk nonsense.Now that he said that, someone must have suffered a big loss at the hands of the servant.

Here Jia Lian sent Jia Rong away, and hurriedly summoned Jia Yun to meet him. After questioning, Jia Yun really knew very little about Liufu Bank.

He had only heard that Liufu Bank was an underground bank, but he didn't know the exact location.

It's no wonder that Feng Ziying didn't know either!

Jia Lian frowned when she heard this, and said for a while, "Didn't you have a friend called Drunk King Kong? You might as well ask him about it."

Jia Yun was slightly surprised. He remembered that he had never mentioned the drunk king, how could the second uncle know?

Jia Yun's reassurance Jia Lian ignored, he was an anomaly and could not explain it.

"The last time I asked you to pay attention to a person named Sun Shaozu, did you find out?"

Jia Yun said: "He is from Datong, and he is of the same clan as the imperial guard Sun Hao. This Sun Shaozu was also a military household. It is said that Qiu Ba, who used to be our ancestor's subordinate, seemed to have made meritorious service and won a hereditary Captain Yunqi. It is said that there are many brothers in their family, and there is a lot of trouble because of this title. This Sun Shaozu is the eldest son and grandson, and he is ruthless. Except for the younger brother who is the same mother as him, there are several other brothers who have different mothers. Those cousins ​​who coveted the title were either killed or injured. Later, gradually, no one dared to provoke him. He worked hard, because he was the eldest grandson of the eldest house, and he also had some money in his hand. It is said that his father died. He is keeping his filial piety, and it is estimated that by the end of next year, he will come up to find a replacement."

His father died?

Jia Lian laughed, that's right, how can he seize the title if his father is not dead?

Jia Lian said: "Contact Sun Hao from time to time, as soon as this Sun Shaozu comes to Beijing, let me know immediately."

Jia Yun responded, and said: "The Xu family has behaved abnormally recently. For some reason, the head of the Xu family frequently goes out and about for things."

Jia Lian was shocked immediately: "Do you remember where they went after Dangdang, and who did they meet?"

Jia Yun nodded: "The butler of the Xu family went in and out of Wufenglou several times, because the bodyguards in Wufenglou were powerful and the access control was too strict. Our best kid in Qinggong pretended to be a beggar and came to beg for money but didn't get in. Didn't get any news at all."

"It's good that the child is fine."

Jia Lian said: "If you find out that they meet again in the future, don't be alarmed. Come back and report to me."

Jia Yun nodded in agreement, and said: "My nephew suspects that the long history of Prince Zhongshun's residence is hiding in the Wufeng Tower, because since we supervised him entering the Wufeng Tower that time, but we didn't see him come out, so my nephew Guess, either he has already sneaked out of the capital and fled away. Or he is still hiding in Wufenglou, but I don’t know why he has not left the capital after so many days.” Jia Lian said: “If he is hiding in Wufenglou, It's really a troublesome matter, and the Secretary of General Administration can't do anything about the matter in Wufeng Tower."

Jia Yun was very puzzled: "I really don't know who is the backstage of Wufenglou, even the Secretary of State can't do anything about him."

After discussing for a while, the uncles and nephews decided to guard the exits of the Wufeng Building first, and to supervise the Xu family anyway. Kyoto is not peaceful these days. Most of the rich and powerful in Kyoto have contacts with Ping Anzhou, and there are more than one or two nobles who have won silver. , the Xu family is one of them.

The atmosphere in Ping Anzhou is tense these days, and these people will definitely try to destroy all evidence related to Ping Anzhou.

The original interest groups will definitely meet and discuss, so as long as you keep an eye on Wufenglou, you will be able to catch these people's fox tails.

But Jia Lian didn't receive the order from Emperor Qianyuan, so he had to stay at home.Jia Lian was not idle either, and had been inquiring about the fishermen's cases, especially Gu Pei's case.In order to find out the latest news about the Gu family, Jia Lian exchanged news with Feng Ziying almost every day.

Feng Ziying hadn't figured out the location of Liufu Bank yet, but Jia Rong and Jia Yun got news at the same time.

Jia Rong came to Rong Mansion on the third day after the dinner, and he told Jia Lian that he had successfully spread the news through Zhen Yinglian.

And it can be confirmed that Concubine Shu's expression was very unnatural after hearing this.

Jia Lian was overjoyed when he heard the words, he had a premonition that Concubine Shu's mother and son would definitely guess this matter on Leng Zixing.

Jia Lian scrutinized Leng Zixing's death and his purchase of the pawnshop carefully, and felt that there were no loopholes.

The only loophole is Leng Zixing's two sons and daughters.

Jia Lian had already dealt with it afterwards. Jia Lian not only concealed the background of his siblings, but also allowed them to be adopted separately. Five or six-year-old children, as long as they eat and drink well, will soon forget their past.

Furthermore, whatever they remembered, they should have remembered that their parents were going to take them to escape, and that their father had killed their mother.

They witnessed Leng Zixing killing Zhou Huamei with their own eyes. They didn't know that their parents committed suicide.

In Montenegro, their identities would not be mentioned at all, and everyone there thought they were newly bought slaves, and they would never return to the capital for the rest of their lives.

So, this loophole is nothing at all.

While Jia Lian was cleaning up the Leng Zixing incident, Jia Yun's carrier pigeon arrived.The chief steward of Zheng's family in Tai Hospital went to Wufenglou, and the chief steward of Xu's family also went to Wufenglou. It is not known whether the two met each other.

After Jia Lian heard the news, he immediately went to Wufenglou and asked for Qingheju by name.

Jia Lian threw down a silver coin: "No one is allowed to disturb you for three days."

The shopkeeper was a little afraid of Jia Lian, because this person's background was really difficult.

His master will not show up until the critical moment, and the master has already confessed that he will clear all the doors for him, as long as he does not cause major disasters, he will be safe for the rest of his life.However, he himself provoked people who shouldn't be provoked, so don't blame him for killing the donkey.

This Wufeng Tower can be described as an iron camp and a shopkeeper of flowing water.

Therefore, as long as Jia Lian acts according to the rules, the shopkeeper dare not shut him out.

To put it bluntly, all nine provinces have checked Prince Teng, and that is enough for him to drink a pot.

Here Jia Lian hurried into Qinghe Residence, closed the door, and then meditated.

He first supported the ear nerves with the power in his body, and covered the entire Wufeng Building with his hearing. After finding the butler of the Xu family, Jia Lian concentrated his hearing in this private room.

Sure enough, there were two people in the room.

Although Jia Lian did not recognize the Gu family's steward, Jia Lian had heard the voice of Xu's steward, and one of the two was undoubtedly the Xu family's lawsuit.

Afterwards, Jia Lian extended his consciousness to the past.

Seeing this, Jia Lian was overjoyed, the Gu family was in charge, he was Wan Jiu, the chief eunuch in Concubine Shu's palace.

Jia Lian covered it, and just heard Wan Jiu talking: "Our concubine Shu promised to intercede for Duke Cheng En in front of the emperor, but the tail has to be erased by your family."

The chief manager of the Xu family said with a smile: "So, we will try our best to find Boss Leng for you. However, he has friends from all walks of life. He wants to avoid him. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him."

But Wan Jiu said: "It is said that those Yu Huazi in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs have seen him before, the uncle of the third bedroom of Xu's family is not a doctor in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and some members of his clan work in the Ministry of Justice, it should not be difficult to copy their confession files, right? "

"Dossier? Aren't you looking for someone, why do you want to check the file?"

Wan Jiu said: "Don't get me wrong, chief executive, we just want to find out the whereabouts of Leng Zixing, and we have no other intentions."

Don't say that Manager Xu doesn't believe this, even Jia Lian doesn't believe it.

Concubine Shu settled the disaster in Ping'anzhou for the Xu family, just to find someone?

I don't believe it!

When Manager Xu got up to leave, he left a letter on the table.

After Wan Jiu opened the letterhead, Jia Lian's heart almost jumped out, and it turned out to be a mortgage contract.I have seen it for a long time, but I have not left.His old god is waiting indoors.

Jia Lian was wondering, but saw another person entered the room. This person was also an acquaintance of Jia Lian, and it was Dai Quan, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor.

Wan Jiu bowed and saluted, and handed the contract to Dai Quan, Dai Quan took over, squinted his eyes and smiled lightly, squeezed it casually, squeezed the contract into a ball and handed it to Wan Jiu: "I've rewarded you!"

Without saying a word, Wan Jiu threw the ball of paper into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment.

The mortgage contract of Liufu Bank was swallowed by Wanjiu?

What is this trick?

Jia Lian's thoughts changed sharply. The housekeeper of the Xu family asked Concubine Shu to help clear up the suspicion of Ping'anzhou, but the reward he gave was given to Dai Quan by Wan Jiu, but Dai Quan was swallowed by Wan Jiu?

What does this mean?

One is that if this thing enters the Liufu Bank, it is tantamount to giving it away, and it is useless to keep the contract.Then the Xu family took out this contract, just for someone with a heart to take a look, they enshrined it according to the regulations.

Why did Dai Quan dare to deal with this thing?There is only one possibility, Dai Quan is an insider, or he is either the owner of Liufu Bank or the backstage of Liufu Bank.

Therefore, things that entered Liufu Bank were already the meat of his mouth, and there was no need for a contract at all.

Jia Lian's eyes lit up immediately.Dai Quan is greedy for money, he already knew it.

In her previous life, Jia Zhen donated an official for Jia Rong for the sake of Qin Keqing's funeral.Dai Quan extorted [-] silver, and said it was half a gift.The real shortage of a county magistrate only needs five hundred silver to manage, and the Long Guard is just a false title to double it.

However, Dai Quan is a eunuch and has no children. What does he need so much money for?

At the same time, Jia Lian thought again, Dai Quan was involved everywhere in the Six Departments, selling officials and nobles, did the emperor know about it?

I don't know, whose power is wearing the battle of power?

If you know, why let it go?Let Dai Quan go in and out of the wealthy palace, and connect up and down?

As soon as he said he would sell the quota of an Ouchi bodyguard, he sold it!The silver was not put into the treasury, but went back to his own home.

Moreover, this Dai Quan's hands and eyes are open to the sky, he not only sold the official position of Dragon Guard.

As far as Jia Lian knew, he also bought places for co-prefects and supervisors.

Also, the eunuch Xia in the Queen's Palace had been in and out of Prince Zhongshun's mansion, and Dai Quan had a heated fight with King Zhongshun.

The old five and the six who made trouble in Nanyuan last time were Dai Quan's godsons.It's just that after the accident in Nanyuan, Jia Lian went to look for the two of them again, and they disappeared without a trace.

Did Dai Quan use his power for personal gain, or did he follow orders?

Before, Jia Lian didn't think about it carefully, but now thinking about it is terribly frightening!

Jia Lian was covered in white sweat all of a sudden!

Immediately, Jia Lian grasped an important point, that is, Shanghuangjue would never murder Emperor Qianyuan!

So, who did Dai Quan cooperate with to kill Emperor Qianyuan?Is it really with Zhongyi County King Zhongshun?

Also, because the old five and the six died, why the wild boar got into the empress dowager's phoenix chariot is always a mystery!

At the beginning, Jia Lian discovered that the motives of the fifth and the sixth were impure because he possessed supernatural powers.Therefore, Jia Lian did not dare to report the situation to the Queen Mother and Emperor Qianyuan.

He didn't even dare to talk to Feng Ziying, a good brother, he just checked secretly by himself, and also told Jia Yun to pay attention to the traces of the sixth and fifth, but there was no sign of them.

Jia Lian guessed that they were probably dead.

Not only Jia Lian couldn't find out the clues, but the Secretary of General Administration also couldn't find out who the culprit was.

The court ladies and eunuchs who went to Nanyuan with the empress dowager that time were all tortured by the Punishment Department, but no one confessed to them, so it was impossible to find out the culprit.

Now, apart from the maids and eunuchs in front of the Empress Dowager, except those who did not go to Nanyuan that day, and the court ladies and eunuchs who went to Nanyuan that day, only the Empress Dowager’s dowry girl Suju remained.

At present, Jia Lian can conclude that Dai Quan must be involved in the murder of Emperor Qianyuan.

As for who is his real master, Jia Lian thinks there are three possibilities.

One is Empress Xu, the other is Concubine Shu of the Gu family, and the last one is Concubine Wu Gui, the mother of the third prince.

Who hates the most?

Jia Lian, however, was meditating on the spot, with a battle between heaven and man in his mind, but it was always difficult to find the most suspicious person among the three suspects.

However, Jia Lian has more important things to do right now, and that is to communicate with Feng Ziying immediately that someone will harm the fishermen in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Jia Lian quickly passed the information that the Xu family had two dangerous people in the Ministry of Punishment to Jia Yun through carrier pigeons.Jia Yun soon found Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying's version soon got in touch with Huang Shangshu, the official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Secretary of General Administration had a cooperative and coordinated relationship.Moreover, Feng Ziying's information was unconscious to Huang Shangshu, and he was quick to save his life. Otherwise, once the interrogation files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were stolen, his work as Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice would be over.

Feng Ziying is only the fourth grade now, but Huang Shangshu, the first grade, bowed to him: "Brother Feng, from now on, you will be my brother. We will support each other and give each other advice. One, heaven and earth are not blessed."

Feng Ziying smiled and waved her hands: "You thanked the wrong person. As for who reminded you, you should know!"
