[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family
Chapter 97
As far as Lin Ruhai's observation is concerned, the prince and others should have believed it, but he didn't say it dead.
Jia Shu didn't think that the prince and the others didn't believe it. After all, they spent so much time trying to win over the Lin family, so they couldn't feel that they had voted for someone else just because the eldest princess came to visit once?If this is the case, the prince will not be a prince.
After discussing what happened recently, the husband and wife quickly packed up and went to Mother Lin's yard for dinner.
At night, after Jia Shu waited for Lin Ruhai to fall asleep, he went to the eldest princess's house with his supernatural power again.
According to the news I heard before, people like Cui Yan should have been taken over by the Eldest Princess, and they are no longer in the hands of the Twelfth Prince.Although he was not sure that his conjecture was correct, Jia Shu decided that during this period of time, he had to find out exactly how much power the Eldest Princess had taken over from the Twelve Princes.
It was late at night, and when Jia Shu entered the princess mansion, she had already fallen asleep.
After Jia Shu hesitated, he simply went home.
Afterwards, whenever he had time, Jia Shu would use his abilities to enter the Princess's Mansion, but he did not find that she was in contact with other people, and even the maids around her never left the Princess's Mansion.
Just when Jia Shu was about to start wondering if the eldest princess had given up on participating in the succession, the eldest princess, she entered the palace.
Thinking that he hadn't seen Pippi and Zhuzhu for several days, Jia Shu simply followed the eldest princess's carriage to the palace.
-
Pippi has a mischievous personality. If such a personality is taught by some old-fashioned Confucianism, he will probably not be happy, and there is no way for people to see the shining points in him.However, the teachers chosen by Emperor Qisheng for his sons and grandchildren were either great Confucians who taught countless people and knew how to teach students according to their aptitude, or they were court ministers who were over half a century old, who had rich experience, taught profound things in simple terms, and knew how to combine them with reality.
Among this group of teachers, Pippi can be said to be a duck to water.
When Jia Shu touched the place where the prince and grandson were in class, Pippi's teacher was explaining the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics to the children. A group of children followed the master's rhythm, shaking their heads and amused.
Pippi couldn't sit still, her buttocks twisted and twisted on the stool, she was stared at by the master, and then grinned at the master.After the master had no choice but to turn his head, he was like a little mouse who stole rice, and he was overjoyed.
Of course, he didn't make a sound to disturb others during the whole process.
Jia Shu was angry and laughed, wishing to catch him and give him a hard spanking, but now that the conditions were not good, she could only keep it in her heart, and wait for Pippi to come home next time to settle the score with him.
She stayed where she was for a while and listened to the teacher's lecture, but left with blindfolded eyes before it was time for a cup of tea.
Sure enough, classical Chinese and so on are like heavenly scriptures.
She went to the place where Zhuzhu usually lived, but unexpectedly bumped into the eldest princess who came from Qishengdi's side.
Jia Shu was a little surprised, so he quickly followed.
The games played by the little girls are more elegant, and what the master teaches are also elegant skills such as poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, cooking tea and fragrance.
When Jia Shu followed the eldest princess, he found a group of young girls forming a circle, each with a guqin in front of them, and a female official wearing high-grade clothes sitting in the middle.
In the beginning, the female officer taught and the girls learned.
But when a little girl saw the eldest princess, she immediately called out, then got up from her seat, and ran to the eldest princess.
Seeing this, the female official didn't dare to reprimand, and went straight to the princess to salute.
The other girls also followed the female officer, rushing up to the princess, saluting and coquettish.
It seems that the eldest princess has a good relationship with children.Jia Shu thought to himself.
The eldest princess waved to the female officer: "You step back first, I have finally seen these sisters and nieces once, so I want to have fun with them."
The female officer frowned, showing hesitation.
"Don't worry, I have already told my father." The eldest princess knew what she was worried about, so she simply promised, "If someone blames you, you can send someone to come to me."
The female officer got the guarantee, so she saluted and retreated.
The eldest princess played with a group of children for a while, until she was sweating profusely, and then suddenly asked: "What do you want to do when you grow up?"
Maybe adults have asked children this question, so the little girls immediately answered in a hurry.
"Elder Sister, when Eleven grows up, I want to dress up beautifully and help my brother!"
"Back to Your Royal Highness, when the minister grows up, she will have a baby as beautiful as the minister."
"Twelve, I want to recruit a good-looking champion son-in-law!"
……
The eldest princess was stunned, obviously these children were only seven or eight years old, and they had already started thinking about their own lifelong events.
But what surprised her the most was that so many girls, under the guidance of their parents, thought that their future was to marry and have children, and they never felt that there was anything wrong with their current life.
She suddenly thought of herself. When she was still young, she lived a comfortable and comfortable life as a princess. Apart from her biological mother being partial to her younger brother, she seemed to have no worries. Naturally, she would not be dissatisfied with her life at that time.And even if the biological mother was eccentric, the solution she thought of was not to seize the throne, but to marry as soon as possible...
If she hadn't been married to a non-human twice in a row, the eldest princess felt that she would not have the idea of wanting to take power by herself.
She is like this, let alone these children.
What Mrs. Lin said, even if she seized the throne, it would be difficult to find a qualified heir, she now understands.
She suddenly noticed the little girl who had been standing quietly in the corner and hadn't said a word so far: "What's your name?"
The twelve princesses followed the gaze of the eldest princess, smiled and pulled her to the eldest princess: "Elder sister, her name is Zhuzhu, you can also call her Wan'er, she is very smart, she is good at everything the female officer teaches. I will learn it soon, and she is my attendant~"
The childish words made people feel weak, and the eldest princess became more and more concerned about this little girl named Zhuzhu: "Zhuzhu, which family are you from? Why didn't you answer Bengong's question just now?"
Zhuzhu glanced at her and said, "Princess Hui, my daughter is the eldest daughter of Lin Ruhai's family."
The eldest princess squinted her eyes: "A girl from Mrs. Lin's family?"
Zhuzhu was puzzled and nodded: "Father Lin Hai."
The eldest princess felt a bit of anticipation in her heart: "Then what is your answer to the question I asked just now?"
Mrs. Lin looked different from other women, and the daughter she brought up was also very different from other children?
but……
"My daughter should be happy every day when she grows up." Zhuzhu said her answer word by word.
Jia Shu, who was peeping secretly, was a little dazed. She remembered asking Zhuzhu the same question before. Zhuzhu's answer was to be a carpenter like Mr. Huang.
But think about it, this answer seems to be more common, and it will not attract the attention of others.And if you can't do what you really want to do, it must be impossible to be happy every day.
The eldest princess was a little disappointed, but her expression was well controlled so that no one noticed.
At first, Jia Shu didn't understand why the eldest princess would ask these little girls this question, but afterward, the eldest princess began to frequently attend the banquets held by various wives and chat with them in a very approachable manner, and she probably had a clue in her heart.
The eldest princess really listened to what she said that day, and tried to solve the problems she raised.
Jia Shu was a little confused, not knowing whether to help her or not.
Thinking about it later, it still depends on how far the eldest princess can do it. If she can really persuade those wives to help her, she will send Huang Lu and his son to the eldest princess's mansion. , and he has other things in his hands, he must know how to use the yellow shoes is the best for himself and Daxia.
As for herself...
The Lin family has already joined the crown prince's team. It is impossible for her to fight against her relatives. Instead, she will help the eldest princess. Otherwise, it will be really hard to please both sides, and it is uncertain what will happen in the end.
-
Just when Jia Shu was almost focusing all his attention on the eldest princess, something happened to the prince again.
Since the prince was born, he has been the prince, and because of this, he is not close to his brothers.But people have emotional needs. In addition to the incomplete paternal love in Qishengdi, the prince also needs to interact with his peers.
And the most suitable candidates are his natal cousins and the companions carefully selected by Emperor Qisheng for him.
The prince's cousins were demoted and demoted, those who were imprisoned were imprisoned, and those who were exiled were exiled. Naturally, there was no way to cause trouble.
So this time, it was the prince's two companions who had the accident.
Two companions, one is Jia She, the eldest son of the Rongguo family, and the other is the second son of the cabinet scholar family.Jia Daishan has a high position and power, no one can shake him easily, and naturally no one dares to take action against Jia Amnesty.
Of course, the most important thing is that Jia She doesn't like to go out on weekdays, and because of the accident of the eldest son, he now stays at home all day and treats his son like a baby. If the prince doesn't look for him, he won't go out at all.Even if someone wanted to harm him, there was no chance at all.
However, the second son of the cabinet scholar's family, because of his personality, often hangs around Hualou. If he wants to take action against him, he is really sure.
And the accident location of the second son of the cabinet scholar's family is indeed in Hualou——
Because of competing with others for the oiran, it is not very good to beat them to death.
In normal times, it is not impossible for the second son to beat someone to death.The key point is that recently, when several princes were fighting very seriously, he beat people to death, almost handing over the prince's handle to other princes.
If it was just like this, it was the second son who had the accident. Whether he was imprisoned, exiled or beheaded, it was his own business. will not be implicated in any way.
But the Grand Maester's wife is a fool.
Before the Grand Scholars could discuss with someone how to rescue him, his wife heard rumors from nowhere that the Prince had ordered the Grand Scholars not to save her son!
The youngest son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old man.
This bachelor's wife loves the second son the most, so it's okay to hear the news?Immediately passed out.
When he woke up and heard that his second son had already been sent to prison, he almost fainted again.
Then, she was instigated by someone, and she heard that as long as no one pursued this murder case, her son would be fine. She took people to find the victim's family and wanted to buy them off with money.
That's not to mention, after she found out that they didn't want to get in, and they must make the murderer plead guilty, she actually killed more than ten members of that family...
Killed the door.
At this point, the matter has become a big mess, and it can't be hidden.
A memorial to the censor directly impeached the cabinet scholar, the prince and others together.
Emperor Qisheng was furious, and the culprit was directly cut in half, and the family of cabinet scholars also ended up in exile.As for the prince, although he seems to have nothing to do with this massacre, firstly, the second son is the prince's companion, and secondly, according to the investigation results of Dali Temple, among the people who went to exterminate the family that day, one This is the prince's trusted bodyguard.
Even if he couldn't find that the guard was ordered by the prince, he couldn't conclude that the prince was really involved, but Emperor Qisheng still chose to ground the prince...
Three years.
Moreover, except for the prince's wives and concubines, no one else is allowed to come in and out.
Three years have passed, no matter how great the prestige is, it will disappear if you think about it.
Emperor Qisheng's eyes were dark, and his thoughts were racing.
And when the prince heard that Emperor Qisheng was going to ban him for three years, he immediately understood his plan, and laughed wildly in his heart, hating himself for not being as cruel as Emperor Qisheng.
But on his face, he was extremely calm.
The crown prince knew that Emperor Qisheng had only banned him for three years, instead of seizing the opportunity to abolish his position as crown prince, which meant that he was still the only successor in his mind.As long as he doesn't make mistakes, after three years, he still has a chance.
The only thing to worry about is whether the fourth prince and others who were standing beside him will have two hearts because of this.
How can the majestic palace trap the Qianlong that is about to take off?
Standing at the entrance of the East Palace, the prince looked at the direction of Qisheng Emperor's Qiankun Palace in an unclear manner, and quietly smiled.
-
The crown prince was grounded, and what worried him most was not the fourth prince, but the thirteenth prince and the fourth concubine.
Just after the court, the thirteenth prince chased the fourth prince into the fourth prince's mansion.
"Fourth brother, why is Father..."
The fourth prince raised his hand to stop him: "Thirteen, speak carefully!"
He didn't look at the thirteenth prince until he entered the study and was sure no one would come in, "Thirteen, the prince can be surrounded by people. Do you think it will be safe to be around us?"
Because Emperor Qisheng valued it, everyone around the prince was carefully selected, and even the eight generations of his ancestors were innocent, without any suspicion. In the whole Great Xia, the prince can be said to be the most closely guarded besides Emperor Qisheng , and also the safest person.
But even so, there were people with ulterior motives around the prince.
Shisan's heart trembled, and he was a little afraid of his recklessness.
A smile flashed in the fourth prince's eyes: "Don't worry too much, just pay attention to some occasions when you speak in the future."
Even the guard who caused the prince to end up in this situation is only valued by the prince, but he is not considered as the prince's confidant.
If you want the fourth prince to say that if even his confidants are placed by others, then he doesn't want to participate in the seizure of the heir apparent, and just closes the door and lives his own life. It is better to suffer a loss than to have a lack of IQ and eyesight, and be calculated to end miserably.
Thirteen is an open-minded person, and he didn't doubt the people around him because of choking.
However, because of the fourth prince's words, a flustered conjecture emerged in his heart.
The thirteenth prince never liked to hide his expression in front of the fourth prince, so he easily noticed something wrong: "What's the matter? Even if you are surrounded by other brothers, you are so afraid that you are worthy of your identity?"
The thirteenth prince smiled wryly: "Fourth brother, you know me, how could I doubt my brothers just because of the prince?"
"Why is that?" The Fourth Prince frowned, "But what did you think of?"
The thirteenth prince nodded: "Fourth brother, you said that the prince's matter, could it be the father..." It's a trick.
These days, Emperor Qisheng is picking his nose and eyes at the prince. Everyone can see that Emperor Qisheng's dissatisfaction with the prince has reached the highest point. After several years in the East Palace, it is not impossible to suppress his reputation among civil and military officials.
Although I feel sorry for my father for thinking this way, the thirteenth prince really thinks so.
He looked at the fourth prince, his mind was confused, and he didn't know what kind of answer he wanted to get from the fourth prince.
The Fourth Prince was stunned, as if he had never thought of this possibility.
He felt that it was impossible for others to think the same way.
There is only thirteen, because the concubine mother is not favored, and she has never seen Emperor Qisheng since she was a child, and the concubine went early, and Emperor Qisheng never paid attention to him, a poor little man, so he suffered so much in the deep palace. Emperor Qisheng's admiration was not much from the beginning.Because of these experiences, the thirteen couples have always been the most objective and calm among all the princes.
The fourth prince thought about Thirteen's guess, and finally had to admit that it was possible.
Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the study, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.
The biological father may be someone who can even plot against his favorite son for the sake of the throne. Even if this son is not either of the two, this answer is unacceptable.
After an unknown amount of time, the fourth prince licked the dry corner of his mouth: "This is just your guess, the emperor loves the prince so much, even if he wants to suppress the prince, it is impossible to take the risk of using the 'murder of the family' to set the prince up. .”
A family massacre, just to suppress the reputation of the prince, why bother?
The fourth prince hesitated, trying to convince himself of this answer.
The thirteenth prince reacted faster: "Fourth brother, I will investigate this matter later. What is more important now is that the crown prince has been banned for three years. Do we have to wait for him for three years? What if the father is in these three years?" At once……"
He paused, "What shall we do?"
The fourth prince lowered his eyes: "Father is in good health, and he will live a long life."
Thirteen eyes widened: "Fourth brother!"
"Thirteen, it's only been three years, and the royal father has not abolished the crown prince's position as the crown prince. Even if the royal father has been in these three years..." He raised his eyes, his expression was indifferent, "The prince will only succeed."
Thirteen frowned: "We can win over Duke Rong..."
Duke Rong is in charge of the security of the capital. Although the number of troops in his hand is not as large as before, it is more useful in the process of seizing the heir.
The fourth prince hooked his lips: "Duke Rong is not stupid."
He could pass these three years smoothly without doing anything, why did he risk betraying the prince but risk being beaten by them?
"Furthermore, it is a good thing that the prince is grounded at this time."
-
"A good thing?" The Crown Princess looked at the Prince in astonishment, "How could it be a good thing that His Highness has been banned for three years?"
The prince lowered his eyes and turned his fingers silently, turning a deaf ear to what the princess said.
The crown princess waited for a long time for the crown prince's answer, her face turned red and then pale, and she was extremely embarrassed.
After a long time, the prince seemed to finally think of the princess, and smiled: "Why is it not a good thing? A few days ago, I was confronted with the father and the emperor. Just one introduction can destroy our father-son relationship. If there is no such thing , and if the delay continues, who can guarantee that Gu will not be seized by others and dragged down as the crown prince?"
He could feel that if his father hadn't really loved him, so he had deliberately endured it, maybe he would have been abolished two years ago.
In the past two years, his father's patience with him has reached its peak. If he does not want to disappear from his father's eyes for a period of time, perhaps soon, what awaits him is the edict to abolish the crown prince.
Being grounded now, although it may cause officials in his own camp to turn against each other, for him, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages.
Therefore, except when Emperor Qisheng wanted to ban him for three years, he was true, and he never had the slightest worry about his situation three years later.Even, whenever he thinks of the ugly appearance of those brothers jumping desperately after he was grounded, he can't help laughing.
"Tsk, it's really not as good as a son who is alone... a subordinate who understands the father."

Rongguofu
Jia Jing looked at Jia Daishan, as if struck by lightning: "Second Uncle, what do you mean, that guard is your subordinate?"
Jia Daishan lightly rolled his eyelids: "What's so strange about this?"
"But, isn't the Jia family on the prince's side?" Jia Jing couldn't believe it, and felt that what he just heard was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard in his life, "You let the prince be grounded for three years. What about the Jia family?"
Emperor Qisheng is not young anymore, over 60 years old, and there are not many emperors who died at this age in history.
three years?Are you really afraid that something will happen during this period?
Jia Daishan's eyes were complicated, and he turned to the direction of the palace. He didn't know what he thought of. After a long time, he sighed: "If the emperor really had any accidents in the past three years, it would be the best result for the Jia family."
Jia Jing's eyes widened: "If the emperor... the last one to take over is the crown prince! Second uncle, are you confused? The emperor did not abolish the crown prince!"
Jia Daishan looked at Jia Jing with relief: "I'm very happy that you noticed this."
"Second uncle!"
"Because the emperor did not abolish the prince, if something happens, it will be best for the Jia family."
Jia Jing was at a loss, only felt that Jia Daishan's words were inconsistent and did not understand the meaning at all.
"Jing'er, sometimes a blind attack can easily arouse the enemy's blood, and one's own side will pay a lot of casualties, and it may not be in exchange for victory." Jia Daishan looked indifferent, as if he had returned to the battlefield, "Sometimes retreat is the advance, It can bring about the results we want.”
Jia Jing was taken aback for a moment, then opened his mouth wide: "Second Uncle, what do you mean..."
"The guards will appear at the scene of the murder, the prince knows." Jia Daishan sighed.
When he made this suggestion, he was still worried about the benevolence of the prince's wife, but he didn't expect that after hesitating, he immediately agreed to his approach.
"The cabinet bachelor family..."
"I voted for the Eighth Prince secretly." Jia Daishan hated betrayal the most in his life. "Since he dared to do such a thing of betraying his promise and pleasing both sides, he deserved what he deserved in the end!"
"The family that can be killed..."
Facing Jia Daishan's indifferent eyes, Jia Jing was speechless for a while, and finally could only shut up dejectedly.
As a scholar who has been familiar with Confucian works since childhood and deeply influenced by Confucianism, even if the Jia family is the first in Jia Jing's heart, if he can, he doesn't want to harm others.
What's more, it's such a shocking massacre.
Jia Daishan knew enough about his nephew's temper, so he naturally knew what he was thinking.Seeing that Jia Jing calmed down, he said: "Although I don't care about the lives of that family, but the prince is kind, except for that person at the beginning, no one in that family died."
Jia Jing suddenly raised his head: "Second Uncle, are you serious?"
Jia Daishan nodded.
Although it was neither him nor the crown prince who really saved the family.
-
This morning, Jia Shu and Lin Ruhai got up early to practice martial arts together, and after eating breakfast, they went to the Ghost Works Institute together.
Since Yinghua's machines were selling well, and even many businessmen from other places found people to buy them after hearing about them, the supply of these machines was somewhat in short supply.In addition, some dignitaries were very envious when they learned that many princesses and princesses had robot dogs presented by Jia Shu, which could run and bark, and urged the Lin family to open another toy store dedicated to selling them.
In order to meet the needs of customers, Jia Shu had to recruit more people. Not only did he hire craftsmen with high salaries, but even the craftsmen in his own village went to the ghost industry to study.
When the two arrived, the Ghost Works Institute was in full swing.
According to the usual practice, the two first asked how many machines were produced and how many were sold, and then they went to Huanglu's yard.
As usual, Huang Lu was still working hard on his precious machines.
Jia Shu just glanced at it from a distance and didn't bother him.
"Those people also entered the ghost factory while recruiting people?" Lin Ruhai leaned into Jia Shu's ear and asked in a low voice.
His hot breath sprayed on Jia Shu's ears, causing her ears to itch. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand to rub it, and looked back at Lin Ruhai with a bit of reproach.
Lin Ruhai froze for a moment, then pursed his lips and smiled.
Jia Shu ignored him, and led the people to the side of Huanglu's courtyard.
After walking about ten steps, I saw another yard.Compared with the glass on the yellow shoes and the cleaning by a dedicated person, the yard looks a bit dilapidated, the ground is full of fallen leaves and weeds, and it doesn't look like a house with other places in the Ghost Works.
The two left the servant girls behind them outside, and then walked in.
After stepping into the main house, I heard coughs coming from inside. The sound was intermittent, and it seemed that I had exhausted all my strength, as if I could cough up my lungs in the next moment. It was extremely uncomfortable to hear.
Lin Ruhai looked solemn and lowered his voice: "Are they sick?"
Jia Shu shook his head and sighed, and replied with the same volume: "Ru Hai, you can't possibly think that they didn't get hurt at all?"
Even if someone cooperates, if they are not injured at all, and there is no trace of blood, it is impossible for others to believe that they are dead.
Lin Ruhai was uneasy: "Didn't it mean that the death row was changed?"
"That happened after the others left." Jia Shu shook his head, "The second son of the Grand Scholar only killed someone, and someone came to the door the next day to kill them. Do you think such a short time is enough to kill them?" Someone to replace?"
What's more, in order to be safe, those people have been guarding outside all the time, and there is no chance to replace that family.
Seeing that they were about to enter the house, the two of them shut up one after another without saying a word.
The yard is huge, but the main house is not that big, but there are more than a dozen people sitting or lying in it.
These people were old and young, men and women, but without exception, they were all wounded.
Among them, the middle-aged man who was the least injured saw the two coming in, and immediately showed his guard. He rushed in front of Jia Shu and the others in the blink of an eye, blocking everyone: "Who are you? What are you trying to do? Why are you here? "
Jia Shu sighed and turned to look at Lin Ruhai.
There is no way, although this man is questioning the two of them, his eyes are always on Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai hesitated, and said, "This house is mine."
The strong man hesitated for a moment: "Really?"
Jia Shu had expected such a scene a long time ago, so he simply took out a deed from his cuff: "This is the deed of this house, take a look?"
The strong man took it, glanced at it, kowtowed to the couple, and said, "Thank you benefactor for saving me!"
Lin Ruhai hurriedly pulled him up, with a guilty look on his face: "It wasn't our husband and wife who saved you, and we couldn't rescue you unscathed, we are really ashamed!"
The man shook his head: "I know benefactor is in trouble." He paused and smiled wryly, "Just a few days before the accident, I found a group of sneaky strangers near my house. I observed them carefully and they hung around all day long. Near my house, it seems to be watching our family."
"I even thought about running away, but they found out my whereabouts because I wasn't careful enough, and they were all arrested in the end."
If those people didn't know that he had discovered their whereabouts, it would be easier for their family to escape. Since they were discovered, there was no hope of escape.
He thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect to survive in the end.
Thinking of this, the strong man knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Ruhai and his wife: "The benefactor saved my whole family's life. If you need it, just tell me, and I will give up my life to repay it."
The other injured people, except those who were still unconscious, also echoed.
Lin Ruhai was startled, and hurried him up.
After calming everyone down, Jia Shu expressed his doubts: "Why do I feel that your family doesn't look like ordinary people?"
The strong man smiled more and more bitterly: "Benefactor, our family is all bodyguards, we just don't know who we have offended to bring about this murderous disaster."
Jia Shu became more and more confused: "You don't know?"
The strong man shook his head: "I don't know."
"On the day before your accident, your youngest son was accidentally beaten to death with the second son of the cabinet scholar's family in Hualou for the oiran. You didn't know about this?"
The strong man was at a loss: "Our family is here, where is the youngest son?"
At this time, a woman lying on the bed struggled to get up, trying to speak.
The person next to him quickly helped him to sit up, the woman took a breath, and then said: "Madam, do you know what that person looks like?"
Jia Shu turned to look at Lin Ruhai. The man died on the spot and was then sent to the Yamen. Later, because of his involvement in the Miemen tragedy, he was transferred to Dali Temple. From the beginning to the end, she had no chance to see what happened to the innocent and tragic death What does it look like.
As a man and an official, Lin Ruhai can go in and out of these places.
only……
Lin Ruhai shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."
The woman was not disappointed, and still said: "It stands to reason that our family is all here, and there is no youngest son." After such a long speech, she seemed a little unbearable, and began to breathe violently.
Jia Shu wanted her to shut up, but felt that there was something hidden in it, he hesitated, but failed to stop it in time.
The woman had already come to her senses: "But I do have a son in my family."
The strong man seemed to understand who the woman was talking about, and his face was so gloomy that he frightened: "Stop talking!"
The woman looked at the strong man, sighed, and obediently said nothing.
The strong man took a deep breath, and said, "If it's true, that person should be my adopted son. It's just that two years ago, he was expelled from my house because he embezzled the goods delivered by the escort agency."
"Afterwards, I inquired about it, and I heard that he was favored by the nobleman, and he started to work for the nobleman. He earned a lot of money every month. Whenever he was free, he would hang around the flower house and live a very comfortable life."
"After he became prosperous, he has never returned to the Escort." The strong man's expression fluctuated, "He and the Escort have been inseparable for a long time."
But it was such a person who brought a catastrophe to the Escort.
"what is his name?"
"Qian Lei, but later I heard that he changed his surname to Cui Lei."
-
"Did you do it?" The eldest princess looked at the twelve princes with a cold expression.
The twelfth prince laughed: "Elder Sister, you have taken away seven or eight of my younger brother's staff. Even if my younger brother wants to, he doesn't have the ability to dig such a big hole for the prince!"
The eldest princess gritted her teeth: "Don't let me know that you are lying, otherwise I will definitely make you regret it!"
The Twelfth Prince was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Elder Sister, it's just a few untouchables, why do you care so much? Why, before taking power, do you treat these untouchables as your own people? You said, if the emperor father Knowing your thoughts, will you be imprisoned in the palace directly, and let you come out for the rest of your life?"
The eldest princess looked at the twelve princes coldly: "You can try it!"
At the beginning, the two cooperated, but they could not trust each other. In order to prevent each other from being stabbed in the back, no matter whether it was the Eldest Princess, the Twelfth Prince, or even the Sixth Prince, they did not miss the other two.
If the twelve princes really dare to talk nonsense in front of their father, he will probably be the first to suffer.
The expression of the twelve princes froze, and it took a while for them to return to normal: "Sister Da Huang was joking, my younger brother admires Sister Da Huang very much, and I especially want to know how far you can go, whether you can really pull the prince down, how can you go to the father's house?" Where did the emperor go to expose your old background?"
The eldest princess looked at him suspiciously: "Twelve, I hope you are telling the truth."
She doesn't care if Twelve wants to watch a good show or not, as long as Twelve can keep up, she can rest assured.
The Twelfth Prince raised his eyebrows: "Elder Sister is a heroine who is comparable to a man. Why would you worry about my brother, a lost dog who was eliminated early? Eldest Sister, you are too timid? Why don't you think about it?" In order to seize power, I will hand over the power in my hand to my younger brother. In the future, my younger brother will definitely pick you a good man who is both talented and beautiful, has a rich family, and only loves his wife."
The eldest princess squinted her eyes, and swept away all the cakes and tea on the table between the two of them: "Twelfth brother, if you can't learn to respect, I will teach you what it means to be a human being!"
The twelve princes were taken aback by the sudden outburst of the eldest princess, and raised their heads to meet the sneering eyes of the eldest princess. For some reason, a sense of refusal to admit defeat suddenly appeared in his heart.
Hearing her warning, the Twelfth Prince not only didn't admit his cowardice, but burst out laughing: "I said, Elder Sister, you have reconciled and divorced twice... woman, running to the Lin's house all day, isn't it fancy?" Lin Tanhua?"
The eldest princess looked at him coldly: "Old Twelve, if you can't learn to speak human language, I will teach you well!"
Twelve paused, then laughed again: "Why does the elder sister scare my younger brother? If you are not satisfied with Lin Tanhua, how about the prince's companion, Jia Enhou? He is about the same age as the elder sister. Although there are two concubines in the family, but Most of the time it's just a decoration, if the elder sister is willing, the younger brother is willing to clear the way for you, and promise not to let outsiders say a bad word about you. What do you think?"
Snapped--
The twelve princes covered their faces and looked at the eldest princess in disbelief.
The eldest princess spoke with a cold tone: "Can't speak human language, can't even understand?"
The Twelfth Prince stood up abruptly and raised his hand to fight back, but was held down by the two maids and nuns beside the Eldest Princess, with a "bang", a handsome face was pressed onto the table full of tea .
"Bold maidservant, let me go quickly!"
The Eldest Princess leaned over and patted the Twelfth Prince's face: "My good brother, my sister will let you know today that a woman never needs to be attached to a man. If a man is useless
Jia Shu didn't think that the prince and the others didn't believe it. After all, they spent so much time trying to win over the Lin family, so they couldn't feel that they had voted for someone else just because the eldest princess came to visit once?If this is the case, the prince will not be a prince.
After discussing what happened recently, the husband and wife quickly packed up and went to Mother Lin's yard for dinner.
At night, after Jia Shu waited for Lin Ruhai to fall asleep, he went to the eldest princess's house with his supernatural power again.
According to the news I heard before, people like Cui Yan should have been taken over by the Eldest Princess, and they are no longer in the hands of the Twelfth Prince.Although he was not sure that his conjecture was correct, Jia Shu decided that during this period of time, he had to find out exactly how much power the Eldest Princess had taken over from the Twelve Princes.
It was late at night, and when Jia Shu entered the princess mansion, she had already fallen asleep.
After Jia Shu hesitated, he simply went home.
Afterwards, whenever he had time, Jia Shu would use his abilities to enter the Princess's Mansion, but he did not find that she was in contact with other people, and even the maids around her never left the Princess's Mansion.
Just when Jia Shu was about to start wondering if the eldest princess had given up on participating in the succession, the eldest princess, she entered the palace.
Thinking that he hadn't seen Pippi and Zhuzhu for several days, Jia Shu simply followed the eldest princess's carriage to the palace.
-
Pippi has a mischievous personality. If such a personality is taught by some old-fashioned Confucianism, he will probably not be happy, and there is no way for people to see the shining points in him.However, the teachers chosen by Emperor Qisheng for his sons and grandchildren were either great Confucians who taught countless people and knew how to teach students according to their aptitude, or they were court ministers who were over half a century old, who had rich experience, taught profound things in simple terms, and knew how to combine them with reality.
Among this group of teachers, Pippi can be said to be a duck to water.
When Jia Shu touched the place where the prince and grandson were in class, Pippi's teacher was explaining the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics to the children. A group of children followed the master's rhythm, shaking their heads and amused.
Pippi couldn't sit still, her buttocks twisted and twisted on the stool, she was stared at by the master, and then grinned at the master.After the master had no choice but to turn his head, he was like a little mouse who stole rice, and he was overjoyed.
Of course, he didn't make a sound to disturb others during the whole process.
Jia Shu was angry and laughed, wishing to catch him and give him a hard spanking, but now that the conditions were not good, she could only keep it in her heart, and wait for Pippi to come home next time to settle the score with him.
She stayed where she was for a while and listened to the teacher's lecture, but left with blindfolded eyes before it was time for a cup of tea.
Sure enough, classical Chinese and so on are like heavenly scriptures.
She went to the place where Zhuzhu usually lived, but unexpectedly bumped into the eldest princess who came from Qishengdi's side.
Jia Shu was a little surprised, so he quickly followed.
The games played by the little girls are more elegant, and what the master teaches are also elegant skills such as poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, cooking tea and fragrance.
When Jia Shu followed the eldest princess, he found a group of young girls forming a circle, each with a guqin in front of them, and a female official wearing high-grade clothes sitting in the middle.
In the beginning, the female officer taught and the girls learned.
But when a little girl saw the eldest princess, she immediately called out, then got up from her seat, and ran to the eldest princess.
Seeing this, the female official didn't dare to reprimand, and went straight to the princess to salute.
The other girls also followed the female officer, rushing up to the princess, saluting and coquettish.
It seems that the eldest princess has a good relationship with children.Jia Shu thought to himself.
The eldest princess waved to the female officer: "You step back first, I have finally seen these sisters and nieces once, so I want to have fun with them."
The female officer frowned, showing hesitation.
"Don't worry, I have already told my father." The eldest princess knew what she was worried about, so she simply promised, "If someone blames you, you can send someone to come to me."
The female officer got the guarantee, so she saluted and retreated.
The eldest princess played with a group of children for a while, until she was sweating profusely, and then suddenly asked: "What do you want to do when you grow up?"
Maybe adults have asked children this question, so the little girls immediately answered in a hurry.
"Elder Sister, when Eleven grows up, I want to dress up beautifully and help my brother!"
"Back to Your Royal Highness, when the minister grows up, she will have a baby as beautiful as the minister."
"Twelve, I want to recruit a good-looking champion son-in-law!"
……
The eldest princess was stunned, obviously these children were only seven or eight years old, and they had already started thinking about their own lifelong events.
But what surprised her the most was that so many girls, under the guidance of their parents, thought that their future was to marry and have children, and they never felt that there was anything wrong with their current life.
She suddenly thought of herself. When she was still young, she lived a comfortable and comfortable life as a princess. Apart from her biological mother being partial to her younger brother, she seemed to have no worries. Naturally, she would not be dissatisfied with her life at that time.And even if the biological mother was eccentric, the solution she thought of was not to seize the throne, but to marry as soon as possible...
If she hadn't been married to a non-human twice in a row, the eldest princess felt that she would not have the idea of wanting to take power by herself.
She is like this, let alone these children.
What Mrs. Lin said, even if she seized the throne, it would be difficult to find a qualified heir, she now understands.
She suddenly noticed the little girl who had been standing quietly in the corner and hadn't said a word so far: "What's your name?"
The twelve princesses followed the gaze of the eldest princess, smiled and pulled her to the eldest princess: "Elder sister, her name is Zhuzhu, you can also call her Wan'er, she is very smart, she is good at everything the female officer teaches. I will learn it soon, and she is my attendant~"
The childish words made people feel weak, and the eldest princess became more and more concerned about this little girl named Zhuzhu: "Zhuzhu, which family are you from? Why didn't you answer Bengong's question just now?"
Zhuzhu glanced at her and said, "Princess Hui, my daughter is the eldest daughter of Lin Ruhai's family."
The eldest princess squinted her eyes: "A girl from Mrs. Lin's family?"
Zhuzhu was puzzled and nodded: "Father Lin Hai."
The eldest princess felt a bit of anticipation in her heart: "Then what is your answer to the question I asked just now?"
Mrs. Lin looked different from other women, and the daughter she brought up was also very different from other children?
but……
"My daughter should be happy every day when she grows up." Zhuzhu said her answer word by word.
Jia Shu, who was peeping secretly, was a little dazed. She remembered asking Zhuzhu the same question before. Zhuzhu's answer was to be a carpenter like Mr. Huang.
But think about it, this answer seems to be more common, and it will not attract the attention of others.And if you can't do what you really want to do, it must be impossible to be happy every day.
The eldest princess was a little disappointed, but her expression was well controlled so that no one noticed.
At first, Jia Shu didn't understand why the eldest princess would ask these little girls this question, but afterward, the eldest princess began to frequently attend the banquets held by various wives and chat with them in a very approachable manner, and she probably had a clue in her heart.
The eldest princess really listened to what she said that day, and tried to solve the problems she raised.
Jia Shu was a little confused, not knowing whether to help her or not.
Thinking about it later, it still depends on how far the eldest princess can do it. If she can really persuade those wives to help her, she will send Huang Lu and his son to the eldest princess's mansion. , and he has other things in his hands, he must know how to use the yellow shoes is the best for himself and Daxia.
As for herself...
The Lin family has already joined the crown prince's team. It is impossible for her to fight against her relatives. Instead, she will help the eldest princess. Otherwise, it will be really hard to please both sides, and it is uncertain what will happen in the end.
-
Just when Jia Shu was almost focusing all his attention on the eldest princess, something happened to the prince again.
Since the prince was born, he has been the prince, and because of this, he is not close to his brothers.But people have emotional needs. In addition to the incomplete paternal love in Qishengdi, the prince also needs to interact with his peers.
And the most suitable candidates are his natal cousins and the companions carefully selected by Emperor Qisheng for him.
The prince's cousins were demoted and demoted, those who were imprisoned were imprisoned, and those who were exiled were exiled. Naturally, there was no way to cause trouble.
So this time, it was the prince's two companions who had the accident.
Two companions, one is Jia She, the eldest son of the Rongguo family, and the other is the second son of the cabinet scholar family.Jia Daishan has a high position and power, no one can shake him easily, and naturally no one dares to take action against Jia Amnesty.
Of course, the most important thing is that Jia She doesn't like to go out on weekdays, and because of the accident of the eldest son, he now stays at home all day and treats his son like a baby. If the prince doesn't look for him, he won't go out at all.Even if someone wanted to harm him, there was no chance at all.
However, the second son of the cabinet scholar's family, because of his personality, often hangs around Hualou. If he wants to take action against him, he is really sure.
And the accident location of the second son of the cabinet scholar's family is indeed in Hualou——
Because of competing with others for the oiran, it is not very good to beat them to death.
In normal times, it is not impossible for the second son to beat someone to death.The key point is that recently, when several princes were fighting very seriously, he beat people to death, almost handing over the prince's handle to other princes.
If it was just like this, it was the second son who had the accident. Whether he was imprisoned, exiled or beheaded, it was his own business. will not be implicated in any way.
But the Grand Maester's wife is a fool.
Before the Grand Scholars could discuss with someone how to rescue him, his wife heard rumors from nowhere that the Prince had ordered the Grand Scholars not to save her son!
The youngest son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old man.
This bachelor's wife loves the second son the most, so it's okay to hear the news?Immediately passed out.
When he woke up and heard that his second son had already been sent to prison, he almost fainted again.
Then, she was instigated by someone, and she heard that as long as no one pursued this murder case, her son would be fine. She took people to find the victim's family and wanted to buy them off with money.
That's not to mention, after she found out that they didn't want to get in, and they must make the murderer plead guilty, she actually killed more than ten members of that family...
Killed the door.
At this point, the matter has become a big mess, and it can't be hidden.
A memorial to the censor directly impeached the cabinet scholar, the prince and others together.
Emperor Qisheng was furious, and the culprit was directly cut in half, and the family of cabinet scholars also ended up in exile.As for the prince, although he seems to have nothing to do with this massacre, firstly, the second son is the prince's companion, and secondly, according to the investigation results of Dali Temple, among the people who went to exterminate the family that day, one This is the prince's trusted bodyguard.
Even if he couldn't find that the guard was ordered by the prince, he couldn't conclude that the prince was really involved, but Emperor Qisheng still chose to ground the prince...
Three years.
Moreover, except for the prince's wives and concubines, no one else is allowed to come in and out.
Three years have passed, no matter how great the prestige is, it will disappear if you think about it.
Emperor Qisheng's eyes were dark, and his thoughts were racing.
And when the prince heard that Emperor Qisheng was going to ban him for three years, he immediately understood his plan, and laughed wildly in his heart, hating himself for not being as cruel as Emperor Qisheng.
But on his face, he was extremely calm.
The crown prince knew that Emperor Qisheng had only banned him for three years, instead of seizing the opportunity to abolish his position as crown prince, which meant that he was still the only successor in his mind.As long as he doesn't make mistakes, after three years, he still has a chance.
The only thing to worry about is whether the fourth prince and others who were standing beside him will have two hearts because of this.
How can the majestic palace trap the Qianlong that is about to take off?
Standing at the entrance of the East Palace, the prince looked at the direction of Qisheng Emperor's Qiankun Palace in an unclear manner, and quietly smiled.
-
The crown prince was grounded, and what worried him most was not the fourth prince, but the thirteenth prince and the fourth concubine.
Just after the court, the thirteenth prince chased the fourth prince into the fourth prince's mansion.
"Fourth brother, why is Father..."
The fourth prince raised his hand to stop him: "Thirteen, speak carefully!"
He didn't look at the thirteenth prince until he entered the study and was sure no one would come in, "Thirteen, the prince can be surrounded by people. Do you think it will be safe to be around us?"
Because Emperor Qisheng valued it, everyone around the prince was carefully selected, and even the eight generations of his ancestors were innocent, without any suspicion. In the whole Great Xia, the prince can be said to be the most closely guarded besides Emperor Qisheng , and also the safest person.
But even so, there were people with ulterior motives around the prince.
Shisan's heart trembled, and he was a little afraid of his recklessness.
A smile flashed in the fourth prince's eyes: "Don't worry too much, just pay attention to some occasions when you speak in the future."
Even the guard who caused the prince to end up in this situation is only valued by the prince, but he is not considered as the prince's confidant.
If you want the fourth prince to say that if even his confidants are placed by others, then he doesn't want to participate in the seizure of the heir apparent, and just closes the door and lives his own life. It is better to suffer a loss than to have a lack of IQ and eyesight, and be calculated to end miserably.
Thirteen is an open-minded person, and he didn't doubt the people around him because of choking.
However, because of the fourth prince's words, a flustered conjecture emerged in his heart.
The thirteenth prince never liked to hide his expression in front of the fourth prince, so he easily noticed something wrong: "What's the matter? Even if you are surrounded by other brothers, you are so afraid that you are worthy of your identity?"
The thirteenth prince smiled wryly: "Fourth brother, you know me, how could I doubt my brothers just because of the prince?"
"Why is that?" The Fourth Prince frowned, "But what did you think of?"
The thirteenth prince nodded: "Fourth brother, you said that the prince's matter, could it be the father..." It's a trick.
These days, Emperor Qisheng is picking his nose and eyes at the prince. Everyone can see that Emperor Qisheng's dissatisfaction with the prince has reached the highest point. After several years in the East Palace, it is not impossible to suppress his reputation among civil and military officials.
Although I feel sorry for my father for thinking this way, the thirteenth prince really thinks so.
He looked at the fourth prince, his mind was confused, and he didn't know what kind of answer he wanted to get from the fourth prince.
The Fourth Prince was stunned, as if he had never thought of this possibility.
He felt that it was impossible for others to think the same way.
There is only thirteen, because the concubine mother is not favored, and she has never seen Emperor Qisheng since she was a child, and the concubine went early, and Emperor Qisheng never paid attention to him, a poor little man, so he suffered so much in the deep palace. Emperor Qisheng's admiration was not much from the beginning.Because of these experiences, the thirteen couples have always been the most objective and calm among all the princes.
The fourth prince thought about Thirteen's guess, and finally had to admit that it was possible.
Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the study, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.
The biological father may be someone who can even plot against his favorite son for the sake of the throne. Even if this son is not either of the two, this answer is unacceptable.
After an unknown amount of time, the fourth prince licked the dry corner of his mouth: "This is just your guess, the emperor loves the prince so much, even if he wants to suppress the prince, it is impossible to take the risk of using the 'murder of the family' to set the prince up. .”
A family massacre, just to suppress the reputation of the prince, why bother?
The fourth prince hesitated, trying to convince himself of this answer.
The thirteenth prince reacted faster: "Fourth brother, I will investigate this matter later. What is more important now is that the crown prince has been banned for three years. Do we have to wait for him for three years? What if the father is in these three years?" At once……"
He paused, "What shall we do?"
The fourth prince lowered his eyes: "Father is in good health, and he will live a long life."
Thirteen eyes widened: "Fourth brother!"
"Thirteen, it's only been three years, and the royal father has not abolished the crown prince's position as the crown prince. Even if the royal father has been in these three years..." He raised his eyes, his expression was indifferent, "The prince will only succeed."
Thirteen frowned: "We can win over Duke Rong..."
Duke Rong is in charge of the security of the capital. Although the number of troops in his hand is not as large as before, it is more useful in the process of seizing the heir.
The fourth prince hooked his lips: "Duke Rong is not stupid."
He could pass these three years smoothly without doing anything, why did he risk betraying the prince but risk being beaten by them?
"Furthermore, it is a good thing that the prince is grounded at this time."
-
"A good thing?" The Crown Princess looked at the Prince in astonishment, "How could it be a good thing that His Highness has been banned for three years?"
The prince lowered his eyes and turned his fingers silently, turning a deaf ear to what the princess said.
The crown princess waited for a long time for the crown prince's answer, her face turned red and then pale, and she was extremely embarrassed.
After a long time, the prince seemed to finally think of the princess, and smiled: "Why is it not a good thing? A few days ago, I was confronted with the father and the emperor. Just one introduction can destroy our father-son relationship. If there is no such thing , and if the delay continues, who can guarantee that Gu will not be seized by others and dragged down as the crown prince?"
He could feel that if his father hadn't really loved him, so he had deliberately endured it, maybe he would have been abolished two years ago.
In the past two years, his father's patience with him has reached its peak. If he does not want to disappear from his father's eyes for a period of time, perhaps soon, what awaits him is the edict to abolish the crown prince.
Being grounded now, although it may cause officials in his own camp to turn against each other, for him, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages.
Therefore, except when Emperor Qisheng wanted to ban him for three years, he was true, and he never had the slightest worry about his situation three years later.Even, whenever he thinks of the ugly appearance of those brothers jumping desperately after he was grounded, he can't help laughing.
"Tsk, it's really not as good as a son who is alone... a subordinate who understands the father."

Rongguofu
Jia Jing looked at Jia Daishan, as if struck by lightning: "Second Uncle, what do you mean, that guard is your subordinate?"
Jia Daishan lightly rolled his eyelids: "What's so strange about this?"
"But, isn't the Jia family on the prince's side?" Jia Jing couldn't believe it, and felt that what he just heard was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard in his life, "You let the prince be grounded for three years. What about the Jia family?"
Emperor Qisheng is not young anymore, over 60 years old, and there are not many emperors who died at this age in history.
three years?Are you really afraid that something will happen during this period?
Jia Daishan's eyes were complicated, and he turned to the direction of the palace. He didn't know what he thought of. After a long time, he sighed: "If the emperor really had any accidents in the past three years, it would be the best result for the Jia family."
Jia Jing's eyes widened: "If the emperor... the last one to take over is the crown prince! Second uncle, are you confused? The emperor did not abolish the crown prince!"
Jia Daishan looked at Jia Jing with relief: "I'm very happy that you noticed this."
"Second uncle!"
"Because the emperor did not abolish the prince, if something happens, it will be best for the Jia family."
Jia Jing was at a loss, only felt that Jia Daishan's words were inconsistent and did not understand the meaning at all.
"Jing'er, sometimes a blind attack can easily arouse the enemy's blood, and one's own side will pay a lot of casualties, and it may not be in exchange for victory." Jia Daishan looked indifferent, as if he had returned to the battlefield, "Sometimes retreat is the advance, It can bring about the results we want.”
Jia Jing was taken aback for a moment, then opened his mouth wide: "Second Uncle, what do you mean..."
"The guards will appear at the scene of the murder, the prince knows." Jia Daishan sighed.
When he made this suggestion, he was still worried about the benevolence of the prince's wife, but he didn't expect that after hesitating, he immediately agreed to his approach.
"The cabinet bachelor family..."
"I voted for the Eighth Prince secretly." Jia Daishan hated betrayal the most in his life. "Since he dared to do such a thing of betraying his promise and pleasing both sides, he deserved what he deserved in the end!"
"The family that can be killed..."
Facing Jia Daishan's indifferent eyes, Jia Jing was speechless for a while, and finally could only shut up dejectedly.
As a scholar who has been familiar with Confucian works since childhood and deeply influenced by Confucianism, even if the Jia family is the first in Jia Jing's heart, if he can, he doesn't want to harm others.
What's more, it's such a shocking massacre.
Jia Daishan knew enough about his nephew's temper, so he naturally knew what he was thinking.Seeing that Jia Jing calmed down, he said: "Although I don't care about the lives of that family, but the prince is kind, except for that person at the beginning, no one in that family died."
Jia Jing suddenly raised his head: "Second Uncle, are you serious?"
Jia Daishan nodded.
Although it was neither him nor the crown prince who really saved the family.
-
This morning, Jia Shu and Lin Ruhai got up early to practice martial arts together, and after eating breakfast, they went to the Ghost Works Institute together.
Since Yinghua's machines were selling well, and even many businessmen from other places found people to buy them after hearing about them, the supply of these machines was somewhat in short supply.In addition, some dignitaries were very envious when they learned that many princesses and princesses had robot dogs presented by Jia Shu, which could run and bark, and urged the Lin family to open another toy store dedicated to selling them.
In order to meet the needs of customers, Jia Shu had to recruit more people. Not only did he hire craftsmen with high salaries, but even the craftsmen in his own village went to the ghost industry to study.
When the two arrived, the Ghost Works Institute was in full swing.
According to the usual practice, the two first asked how many machines were produced and how many were sold, and then they went to Huanglu's yard.
As usual, Huang Lu was still working hard on his precious machines.
Jia Shu just glanced at it from a distance and didn't bother him.
"Those people also entered the ghost factory while recruiting people?" Lin Ruhai leaned into Jia Shu's ear and asked in a low voice.
His hot breath sprayed on Jia Shu's ears, causing her ears to itch. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand to rub it, and looked back at Lin Ruhai with a bit of reproach.
Lin Ruhai froze for a moment, then pursed his lips and smiled.
Jia Shu ignored him, and led the people to the side of Huanglu's courtyard.
After walking about ten steps, I saw another yard.Compared with the glass on the yellow shoes and the cleaning by a dedicated person, the yard looks a bit dilapidated, the ground is full of fallen leaves and weeds, and it doesn't look like a house with other places in the Ghost Works.
The two left the servant girls behind them outside, and then walked in.
After stepping into the main house, I heard coughs coming from inside. The sound was intermittent, and it seemed that I had exhausted all my strength, as if I could cough up my lungs in the next moment. It was extremely uncomfortable to hear.
Lin Ruhai looked solemn and lowered his voice: "Are they sick?"
Jia Shu shook his head and sighed, and replied with the same volume: "Ru Hai, you can't possibly think that they didn't get hurt at all?"
Even if someone cooperates, if they are not injured at all, and there is no trace of blood, it is impossible for others to believe that they are dead.
Lin Ruhai was uneasy: "Didn't it mean that the death row was changed?"
"That happened after the others left." Jia Shu shook his head, "The second son of the Grand Scholar only killed someone, and someone came to the door the next day to kill them. Do you think such a short time is enough to kill them?" Someone to replace?"
What's more, in order to be safe, those people have been guarding outside all the time, and there is no chance to replace that family.
Seeing that they were about to enter the house, the two of them shut up one after another without saying a word.
The yard is huge, but the main house is not that big, but there are more than a dozen people sitting or lying in it.
These people were old and young, men and women, but without exception, they were all wounded.
Among them, the middle-aged man who was the least injured saw the two coming in, and immediately showed his guard. He rushed in front of Jia Shu and the others in the blink of an eye, blocking everyone: "Who are you? What are you trying to do? Why are you here? "
Jia Shu sighed and turned to look at Lin Ruhai.
There is no way, although this man is questioning the two of them, his eyes are always on Lin Ruhai.
Lin Ruhai hesitated, and said, "This house is mine."
The strong man hesitated for a moment: "Really?"
Jia Shu had expected such a scene a long time ago, so he simply took out a deed from his cuff: "This is the deed of this house, take a look?"
The strong man took it, glanced at it, kowtowed to the couple, and said, "Thank you benefactor for saving me!"
Lin Ruhai hurriedly pulled him up, with a guilty look on his face: "It wasn't our husband and wife who saved you, and we couldn't rescue you unscathed, we are really ashamed!"
The man shook his head: "I know benefactor is in trouble." He paused and smiled wryly, "Just a few days before the accident, I found a group of sneaky strangers near my house. I observed them carefully and they hung around all day long. Near my house, it seems to be watching our family."
"I even thought about running away, but they found out my whereabouts because I wasn't careful enough, and they were all arrested in the end."
If those people didn't know that he had discovered their whereabouts, it would be easier for their family to escape. Since they were discovered, there was no hope of escape.
He thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect to survive in the end.
Thinking of this, the strong man knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Ruhai and his wife: "The benefactor saved my whole family's life. If you need it, just tell me, and I will give up my life to repay it."
The other injured people, except those who were still unconscious, also echoed.
Lin Ruhai was startled, and hurried him up.
After calming everyone down, Jia Shu expressed his doubts: "Why do I feel that your family doesn't look like ordinary people?"
The strong man smiled more and more bitterly: "Benefactor, our family is all bodyguards, we just don't know who we have offended to bring about this murderous disaster."
Jia Shu became more and more confused: "You don't know?"
The strong man shook his head: "I don't know."
"On the day before your accident, your youngest son was accidentally beaten to death with the second son of the cabinet scholar's family in Hualou for the oiran. You didn't know about this?"
The strong man was at a loss: "Our family is here, where is the youngest son?"
At this time, a woman lying on the bed struggled to get up, trying to speak.
The person next to him quickly helped him to sit up, the woman took a breath, and then said: "Madam, do you know what that person looks like?"
Jia Shu turned to look at Lin Ruhai. The man died on the spot and was then sent to the Yamen. Later, because of his involvement in the Miemen tragedy, he was transferred to Dali Temple. From the beginning to the end, she had no chance to see what happened to the innocent and tragic death What does it look like.
As a man and an official, Lin Ruhai can go in and out of these places.
only……
Lin Ruhai shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."
The woman was not disappointed, and still said: "It stands to reason that our family is all here, and there is no youngest son." After such a long speech, she seemed a little unbearable, and began to breathe violently.
Jia Shu wanted her to shut up, but felt that there was something hidden in it, he hesitated, but failed to stop it in time.
The woman had already come to her senses: "But I do have a son in my family."
The strong man seemed to understand who the woman was talking about, and his face was so gloomy that he frightened: "Stop talking!"
The woman looked at the strong man, sighed, and obediently said nothing.
The strong man took a deep breath, and said, "If it's true, that person should be my adopted son. It's just that two years ago, he was expelled from my house because he embezzled the goods delivered by the escort agency."
"Afterwards, I inquired about it, and I heard that he was favored by the nobleman, and he started to work for the nobleman. He earned a lot of money every month. Whenever he was free, he would hang around the flower house and live a very comfortable life."
"After he became prosperous, he has never returned to the Escort." The strong man's expression fluctuated, "He and the Escort have been inseparable for a long time."
But it was such a person who brought a catastrophe to the Escort.
"what is his name?"
"Qian Lei, but later I heard that he changed his surname to Cui Lei."
-
"Did you do it?" The eldest princess looked at the twelve princes with a cold expression.
The twelfth prince laughed: "Elder Sister, you have taken away seven or eight of my younger brother's staff. Even if my younger brother wants to, he doesn't have the ability to dig such a big hole for the prince!"
The eldest princess gritted her teeth: "Don't let me know that you are lying, otherwise I will definitely make you regret it!"
The Twelfth Prince was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Elder Sister, it's just a few untouchables, why do you care so much? Why, before taking power, do you treat these untouchables as your own people? You said, if the emperor father Knowing your thoughts, will you be imprisoned in the palace directly, and let you come out for the rest of your life?"
The eldest princess looked at the twelve princes coldly: "You can try it!"
At the beginning, the two cooperated, but they could not trust each other. In order to prevent each other from being stabbed in the back, no matter whether it was the Eldest Princess, the Twelfth Prince, or even the Sixth Prince, they did not miss the other two.
If the twelve princes really dare to talk nonsense in front of their father, he will probably be the first to suffer.
The expression of the twelve princes froze, and it took a while for them to return to normal: "Sister Da Huang was joking, my younger brother admires Sister Da Huang very much, and I especially want to know how far you can go, whether you can really pull the prince down, how can you go to the father's house?" Where did the emperor go to expose your old background?"
The eldest princess looked at him suspiciously: "Twelve, I hope you are telling the truth."
She doesn't care if Twelve wants to watch a good show or not, as long as Twelve can keep up, she can rest assured.
The Twelfth Prince raised his eyebrows: "Elder Sister is a heroine who is comparable to a man. Why would you worry about my brother, a lost dog who was eliminated early? Eldest Sister, you are too timid? Why don't you think about it?" In order to seize power, I will hand over the power in my hand to my younger brother. In the future, my younger brother will definitely pick you a good man who is both talented and beautiful, has a rich family, and only loves his wife."
The eldest princess squinted her eyes, and swept away all the cakes and tea on the table between the two of them: "Twelfth brother, if you can't learn to respect, I will teach you what it means to be a human being!"
The twelve princes were taken aback by the sudden outburst of the eldest princess, and raised their heads to meet the sneering eyes of the eldest princess. For some reason, a sense of refusal to admit defeat suddenly appeared in his heart.
Hearing her warning, the Twelfth Prince not only didn't admit his cowardice, but burst out laughing: "I said, Elder Sister, you have reconciled and divorced twice... woman, running to the Lin's house all day, isn't it fancy?" Lin Tanhua?"
The eldest princess looked at him coldly: "Old Twelve, if you can't learn to speak human language, I will teach you well!"
Twelve paused, then laughed again: "Why does the elder sister scare my younger brother? If you are not satisfied with Lin Tanhua, how about the prince's companion, Jia Enhou? He is about the same age as the elder sister. Although there are two concubines in the family, but Most of the time it's just a decoration, if the elder sister is willing, the younger brother is willing to clear the way for you, and promise not to let outsiders say a bad word about you. What do you think?"
Snapped--
The twelve princes covered their faces and looked at the eldest princess in disbelief.
The eldest princess spoke with a cold tone: "Can't speak human language, can't even understand?"
The Twelfth Prince stood up abruptly and raised his hand to fight back, but was held down by the two maids and nuns beside the Eldest Princess, with a "bang", a handsome face was pressed onto the table full of tea .
"Bold maidservant, let me go quickly!"
The Eldest Princess leaned over and patted the Twelfth Prince's face: "My good brother, my sister will let you know today that a woman never needs to be attached to a man. If a man is useless
